And the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] moved [07363] upon [05921] the face [06440] of the waters [04325]. 1 1 3 And God [0430] said [0559], Let there be [01961] light [0216]: and there was light [0216]. 1 1 4 And God [0430] saw [07200] [0853] the light [0216], that [03588] it was good [02896]: and God [0430] divided [0914] [0996] the light [0216] from [0996] the darkness [02822]. 1 1 5 And God [0430] called [07121] the light [0216] Day [03117], and the darkness [02822] he called [07121] Night [03915]. And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the first [0259] day [03117]. 1 1 6 And God [0430] said [0559], Let there be a firmament [07549] in the midst [08432] of the waters [04325], and let it divide [0914] the waters [04325] from the waters [04325]. 1 1 7 And God [0430] made [06213] the firmament [07549], and divided [0914] the waters [04325] which [0834] were under [08478] the firmament [07549] from the waters [04325] which [0834] were above [05921] the firmament [07549]: and it was so [03651]. 1 1 8 And God [0430] called [07121] the firmament [07549] Heaven [08064]. And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the second [08145] day [03117]. 1 1 9 And God [0430] said [0559], Let the waters [04325] under the heaven [08064] be gathered together [06960] unto [0413] one [0259] place [04725], and let the dry [03004] land appear [07200]: and it was so. 1 1 10 And God [0430] called [07121] the dry [03004] land Earth [0776]; and the gathering together [04723] of the waters [04325] called [07121] he Seas [03220]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896]. 1 1 11 And God [0430] said [0559], Let the earth [0776] bring forth [01876] grass [01877], the herb [06212] yielding [02232] seed [02233], and the fruit [06529] tree [06086] yielding [06213] fruit [06529] after his kind [04327], whose [0834] seed [02233] is in itself, upon the earth [0776]: and it was so. 1 1 12 And the earth [0776] brought forth [03318] grass [01877], and herb [06212] yielding [02232] seed [02233] after his kind [04327], and the tree [06086] yielding [06213] fruit [06529], whose seed [02233] was in itself, after his kind [04327]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896]. 1 1 13 And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the third [07992] day [03117]. 1 1 14 And God [0430] said [0559], Let there be lights [03974] in the firmament [07549] of the heaven [08064] to divide [0914] the day [03117] from the night [03915]; and let them be for signs [0226], and for seasons [04150], and for days [03117], and years [08141]: 1 1 15 And let them be for lights [03974] in the firmament [07549] of the heaven [08064] to give light [0215] upon the earth [0776]: and it was so. 1 1 16 And God [0430] made [06213] two [08147] great [01419] lights [03974]; the greater [01419] light [03974] to rule [04475] the day [03117], and the lesser [06996] light [03974] to rule [04475] the night [03915]: he made the stars [03556] also. 1 1 17 And God [0430] set [05414] them in the firmament [07549] of the heaven [08064] to give light [0215] upon the earth [0776], 1 1 18 And to rule [04910] over the day [03117] and over the night [03915], and to divide [0914] the light [0216] from the darkness [02822]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896]. 1 1 19 And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the fourth [07243] day [03117]. 1 1 20 And God [0430] said [0559], Let the waters [04325] bring forth abundantly [08317] the moving creature [08318] that hath [05315] life [02416], and fowl [05775] that may fly [05774] above [05921] the earth [0776] in the open [06440] firmament [07549] of heaven [08064]. 1 1 21 And God [0430] created [01254] great [01419] whales [08577], and every living [02416] creature [05315] that moveth [07430], which the waters [04325] brought forth abundantly [08317], after their kind [04327], and every winged [03671] fowl [05775] after his kind [04327]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896]. 1 1 22 And God [0430] blessed [01288] them, saying [0559], Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and fill [04390] the waters [04325] in the seas [03220], and let fowl [05775] multiply [07235] in the earth [0776]. 1 1 23 And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the fifth [02549] day [03117]. 1 1 24 And God [0430] said [0559], Let the earth [0776] bring forth [03318] the living [02416] creature [05315] after his kind [04327], cattle [0929], and creeping thing [07431], and beast [02416] of the earth [0776] after his kind [04327]: and it was so. 1 1 25 And God [0430] made [06213] the beast [02416] of the earth [0776] after his kind [04327], and cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], and every thing that creepeth [07431] upon the earth [0127] after his kind [04327]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896]. 1 1 26 And God [0430] said [0559], Let us make [06213] man [0120] in our image [06754], after our likeness [01823]: and let them have dominion [07287] over the fish [01710] of the sea [03220], and over the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and over the cattle [0929], and over all the earth [0776], and over every creeping thing [07431] that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776]. 1 1 27 So God [0430] created [01254] man [0120] in his own image [06754], in the image [06754] of God [0430] created [01254] he him; male [02145] and female [05347] created [01254] he them. 1 1 28 And God [0430] blessed [01288] them, and God [0430] said [0559] unto them, Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and replenish [04390] the earth [0776], and subdue it [03533]: and have dominion [07287] over the fish [01710] of the sea [03220], and over the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and over every living thing [02416] that moveth [07430] upon the earth [0776]. 1 1 29 And God [0430] said [0559], Behold [02009], I have given [05414] you every herb [06212] bearing [02232] seed [02233], which is upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776], and every tree [06086], in the which is the fruit [06529] of a tree [06086] yielding [02232] seed [02233]; to you it shall be [01961] for meat [0402]. 1 1 30 And to every beast [02416] of the earth [0776], and to every fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and to every thing that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776], wherein there is life [02416] [05315], I have given every green [03418] herb [06212] for meat [0402]: and it was so. 1 1 31 And God [0430] saw [07200] every thing that [0834] he had made [06213], and, behold, it was very [03966] good [02896]. And the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] were the sixth [08345] day [03117]. 1 2 1 Thus the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] were finished [03615], and all the host of them [06635]. 1 2 2 And on the seventh [07637] day [03117] God [0430] ended [03615] his work [04399] which he had made [06213]; and he rested [07673] on the seventh [07637] day [03117] from all his work [04399] which he had made [06213]. 1 2 3 And God [0430] blessed [01288] the seventh [07637] day [03117], and sanctified [06942] it: because [03588] that in it he had rested [07673] from all his work [04399] which God [0430] created [01254] and made [06213]. 1 2 4 These [0428] are the generations [08435] of the heavens [08064] and of the earth [0776] when they were created [01254], in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] made [06213] the earth [0776] and the heavens [08064], 1 2 5 And every plant [07880] of the field [07704] before [02962] it was in the earth [0776], and every herb [06212] of the field [07704] before [02962] it grew [06779]: for [03588] the LORD [03068] God [0430] had not [03808] caused it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776], and there was not [0369] a man [0120] to till [05647] the ground [0127]. 1 2 6 But there went up [05927] a mist [0108] from [04480] the earth [0776], and watered [08248] the whole face [06440] of the ground [0127]. 1 2 7 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] formed [03335] man [0120] of the dust [06083] of [04480] the ground [0127], and breathed [05301] into his nostrils [0639] the breath [05397] of life [02416]; and man [0120] became a living [02416] soul [05315]. 1 2 8 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] planted [05193] a garden [01588] eastward [06924] in Eden [05731]; and there [08033] he put [07760] the man [0120] whom [0834] he had formed [03335]. 1 2 9 And out [04480] of the ground [0127] made [06779] the LORD [03068] God [0430] to grow [06779] every tree [06086] that is pleasant [02530] to the sight [04758], and good [02896] for food [03978]; the tree [06086] of life [02416] also in the midst [08432] of the garden [01588], and the tree [06086] of knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451]. 1 2 10 And a river [05104] went out [03318] of Eden [05731] to water [08248] the garden [01588]; and from thence it was parted [06504], and became into four [0702] heads [07218]. 1 2 11 The name [08034] of the first [0259] is Pison [06376]: that [01931] is it which compasseth [05437] the whole land [0776] of Havilah [02341], where [0834] there is gold [02091]; 1 2 12 And the gold [02091] of that [01931] land [0776] is good [02896]: there is bdellium [0916] and the onyx [07718] stone [068]. 1 2 13 And the name [08034] of the second [08145] river [05104] is Gihon [01521]: the same is it that compasseth [05437] the whole land [0776] of Ethiopia [03568]. 1 2 14 And the name [08034] of the third [07992] river [05104] is Hiddekel [02313]: that is it which goeth toward [01980] the east [06926] of Assyria [0804]. And the fourth [07243] river [05104] is Euphrates [06578]. 1 2 15 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] took [03947] the man [0120], and put him [03240] into the garden [01588] of Eden [05731] to dress [05647] it and to keep [08104] it. 1 2 16 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] commanded [06680] the man [0120], saying [0559], Of every tree [06086] of the garden [01588] thou mayest freely [0398] eat [0398]: 1 2 17 But of the tree [06086] of the knowledge [01847] of good [02896] and evil [07451], thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: for in the day [03117] that thou eatest [0398] thereof thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. 1 2 18 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] said [0559], It is not good [02896] that the man [0120] should be [01961] alone; I will make [06213] him an help meet [05828] for him. 1 2 19 And out of the ground [0127] the LORD [03068] God [0430] formed [03335] every beast [02416] of the field [07704], and every fowl [05775] of the air [08064]; and brought [0935] them unto Adam [0120] to see [07200] what he would call [07121] them: and whatsoever Adam [0120] called [07121] every living [02416] creature [05315], that [01931] was the name thereof [08034]. 1 2 20 And Adam [0120] gave [07121] names [08034] to all cattle [0929], and to the fowl [05775] of the air [08064], and to every beast [02416] of the field [07704]; but for Adam [0120] there was not found [04672] an help meet [05828] for him. 1 2 21 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] caused [05307] a deep sleep [08639] to fall [05307] upon Adam [0121], and he slept [03462]: and he took [03947] one [0259] of his ribs [06763], and closed up [05462] the flesh [01320] instead thereof; 1 2 22 And the rib [06763], which the LORD [03068] God [0430] had taken [03947] from man [0120], made [01129] he a woman [0802], and brought [0935] her unto the man [0120]. 1 2 23 And Adam [0120] said [0559], This [02063] is now [06471] bone [06106] of my bones [06106], and flesh [01320] of my flesh [01320]: she [02063] shall be called [07121] Woman [0802], because she [02063] was taken [03947] out of Man [0376]. 1 2 24 Therefore [03651] shall a man [0376] leave [05800] his father [01] and his mother [0517], and shall cleave [01692] unto his wife [0802]: and they shall be one [0259] flesh [01320]. 1 2 25 And they were both [08147] naked [06174], the man [0120] and his wife [0802], and were not ashamed [0954]. 1 3 1 Now the serpent [05175] was [01961] more subtil [06175] than any beast [02416] of the field [07704] which the LORD [03068] God [0430] had made [06213]. And he said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Yea [0637], hath God [0430] said [0559], Ye shall not eat [0398] of every tree [06086] of the garden [01588]? 1 3 2 And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto the serpent [05175], We may eat [0398] of the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] of the garden [01588]: 1 3 3 But of the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086] which is in the midst [08432] of the garden [01588], God [0430] hath said [0559], Ye shall not eat [0398] of it, neither shall ye touch [05060] it, lest [06435] ye die [04191]. 1 3 4 And the serpent [05175] said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Ye shall not surely [04191] die [04191]: 1 3 5 For God [0430] doth know [03045] that in the day [03117] ye eat [0398] thereof, then your eyes [05869] shall be opened [06491], and ye shall be as gods [0430], knowing [03045] good [02896] and evil [07451]. 1 3 6 And when the woman [0802] saw [07200] that the tree [06086] was good [02896] for food [03978], and that it [01931] was pleasant [08378] to the eyes [05869], and a tree [06086] to be desired [02530] to make one wise [07919], she took [03947] of the fruit thereof [06529], and did eat [0398], and gave [05414] also [01571] unto her husband [0376] with her; and he did eat [0398]. 1 3 7 And the eyes [05869] of them both [08147] were opened [06491], and they [01992] knew [03045] that they were naked [05903]; and they sewed [08609] fig [08384] leaves [05929] together [08609], and made themselves [06213] aprons [02290]. 1 3 8 And they heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] walking [01980] in the garden [01588] in the cool [07307] of the day [03117]: and Adam [0120] and his wife [0802] hid themselves [02244] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] amongst [08432] the trees [06086] of the garden [01588]. 1 3 9 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] called [07121] unto Adam [0120], and said [0559] unto him, Where art thou [0335]? 1 3 10 And he said [0559], I heard [08085] thy voice [06963] in the garden [01588], and I was afraid [03372], because I [0595] was naked [05903]; and I hid myself [02244]. 1 3 11 And he said [0559], Who [04310] told [05046] thee that thou wast naked [05903]? Hast thou eaten [0398] of the tree [06086], whereof I commanded thee [06680] that thou shouldest not [01115] eat [0398]? 1 3 12 And the man [0120] said [0559], The woman [0802] whom thou gavest [05414] to be with me [05978], she [01931] gave [05414] me of the tree [06086], and I did eat [0398]. 1 3 13 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] said [0559] unto the woman [0802], What is this that thou hast done [06213]? And the woman [0802] said [0559], The serpent [05175] beguiled me [05377], and I did eat [0398]. 1 3 14 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] said [0559] unto the serpent [05175], Because thou [0859] hast done [06213] this, thou art cursed [0779] above all cattle [0929], and above every beast [02416] of the field [07704]; upon thy belly [01512] shalt thou go [03212], and dust [06083] shalt thou eat [0398] all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]: 1 3 15 And I will put [07896] enmity [0342] between thee and the woman [0802], and between thy seed [02233] and her seed [02233]; it shall bruise [07779] thy head [07218], and thou shalt bruise [07779] his heel [06119]. 1 3 16 Unto the woman [0802] he said [0559], I will greatly [07235] multiply [07235] thy sorrow [06093] and thy conception [02032]; in sorrow [06089] thou shalt bring forth [03205] children [01121]; and thy desire [08669] shall be to thy husband [0376], and he shall rule [04910] over thee. 1 3 17 And unto Adam [0121] he said [0559], Because thou hast hearkened [08085] unto the voice [06963] of thy wife [0802], and hast eaten [0398] of the tree [06086], of which [0834] I commanded thee [06680], saying [0559], Thou shalt not eat [0398] of it: cursed [0779] is the ground [0127] for thy sake; in sorrow [06093] shalt thou eat [0398] of it all [03605] the days [03117] of thy life [02416]; 1 3 18 Thorns also [06975] and thistles [01863] shall it bring forth [06779] to thee; and thou shalt eat [0398] the herb [06212] of the field [07704]; 1 3 19 In the sweat [02188] of thy face [0639] shalt thou eat [0398] bread [03899], till [05704] thou return [07725] unto the ground [0127]; for out of it wast thou taken [03947]: for dust [06083] thou [0859] art, and unto dust [06083] shalt thou return [07725]. 1 3 20 And Adam [0120] called [07121] his wife's [0802] name [08034] Eve [02332]; because she was the mother [0517] of all living [02416]. 1 3 21 Unto Adam [0120] also and to his wife [0802] did the LORD [03068] God [0430] make [06213] coats [03801] of skins [05785], and clothed them [03847]. 1 3 22 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] said [0559], Behold [02005], the man [0120] is become as one [0259] of us, to know [03045] good [02896] and evil [07451]: and now, lest he put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and take [03947] also of the tree [06086] of life [02416], and eat [0398], and live [02425] for ever [05769]: 1 3 23 Therefore the LORD [03068] God [0430] sent him forth [07971] from the garden [01588] of Eden [05731], to till [05647] the ground [0127] from whence he was taken [03947]. 1 3 24 So he drove out [01644] the man [0120]; and he placed [07931] at the east [06924] of the garden [01588] of Eden [05731] Cherubims [03742], and a flaming [03858] sword [02719] which turned every way [02015], to keep [08104] the way [01870] of the tree [06086] of life [02416]. 1 4 1 And Adam [0120] knew [03045] [0853] Eve [02332] his wife [0802]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] [0853] Cain [07014], and said [0559], I have gotten [07069] a man [0376] from [0854] the LORD [03068]. 1 4 2 And she again [03254] bare [03205] his brother [0251] Abel [01893]. And Abel [01893] was a keeper [07462] of sheep [06629], but Cain [07014] was a tiller [05647] of the ground [0127]. 1 4 3 And in process [07093] of time [03117] it came to pass, that Cain [07014] brought [0935] of the fruit [06529] of the ground [0127] an offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068]. 1 4 4 And Abel [01893], he [01931] also brought [0935] of the firstlings [01062] of his flock [06629] and of the fat [02459] thereof. And the LORD [03068] had respect [08159] unto Abel [01893] and to his offering [04503]: 1 4 5 But unto Cain [07014] and to his offering [04503] he had not respect [08159]. And Cain [07014] was very [03966] wroth [02734], and his countenance [06440] fell [05307]. 1 4 6 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Cain [07014], Why art thou wroth [02734]? and why is thy countenance [06440] fallen [05307]? 1 4 7 If [0518] thou doest well [03190], shalt thou not be accepted [07613]? and if thou doest not well [03190], sin [02403] lieth [07257] at the door [06607]. And unto thee shall be his desire [08669], and thou shalt rule [04910] over him. 1 4 8 And Cain [07014] talked [0559] with [0413] Abel [01893] his brother [0251]: and it came to pass, when they were in the field [07704], that Cain [07014] rose up [06965] against [0413] Abel [01893] his brother [0251], and slew him [02026]. 1 4 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Cain [07014], Where [0335] is Abel [01893] thy brother [0251]? And he said [0559], I know [03045] not: Am I my brother's [0251] keeper [08104]? 1 4 10 And he said [0559], What [04100] hast thou done [06213]? the voice [06963] of thy brother's [0251] blood [01818] crieth [06817] unto me from the ground [0127]. 1 4 11 And now art thou cursed [0779] from the earth [0127], which hath opened [06475] her mouth [06310] to receive [03947] thy brother's [0251] blood [01818] from thy hand [03027]; 1 4 12 When [03588] thou tillest [05647] the ground [0127], it shall not henceforth [03254] yield [05414] unto thee her strength [03581]; a fugitive [05128] and a vagabond [05110] shalt thou be in the earth [0776]. 1 4 13 And Cain [07014] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], My punishment [05771] is greater [01419] than I can bear [05375]. 1 4 14 Behold, thou hast driven me out [01644] this day [03117] from the face [06440] of the earth [0127]; and from [05921] thy face [06440] shall I be hid [05641]; and I shall be a fugitive [05128] and a vagabond [05110] in the earth [0776]; and it shall come to pass [01961], that every one that findeth me [04672] shall slay me [02026]. 1 4 15 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Therefore [03651] whosoever slayeth [02026] Cain [07014], vengeance shall be taken [05358] on him sevenfold [07659]. And the LORD [03068] set [07760] a mark [0226] upon Cain [07014], lest [01115] any finding [04672] him should kill [05221] him. 1 4 16 And Cain [07014] went out [03318] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], and dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Nod [05113], on the east [06926] of Eden [05731]. 1 4 17 And Cain [07014] knew [03045] his wife [0802]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] Enoch [02585]: and he builded [01129] a city [05892], and called [07121] the name [08034] of the city [05892], after the name [08034] of his son [01121], Enoch [02585]. 1 4 18 And unto Enoch [02585] was born [03205] Irad [05897]: and Irad [05897] begat [03205] Mehujael [04232]: and Mehujael [04232] begat [03205] Methusael [04967]: and Methusael [04967] begat [03205] Lamech [03929]. 1 4 19 And Lamech [03929] took [03947] unto him two [08147] wives [0802]: the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Adah [05711], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Zillah [06741]. 1 4 20 And Adah [05711] bare [03205] Jabal [02989]: he was the father [01] of such as dwell [03427] in tents [0168], and of such as have cattle [04735]. 1 4 21 And his brother's [0251] name [08034] was Jubal [03106]: he was the father [01] of all such as handle [08610] the harp [03658] and organ [05748]. 1 4 22 And Zillah [06741], she also bare [03205] Tubalcain [08423], an instructer [03913] of every artificer [02794] in brass [05178] and iron [01270]: and the sister [0269] of Tubalcain [08423] was Naamah [05279]. 1 4 23 And Lamech [03929] said [0559] unto his wives [0802], Adah [05711] and Zillah [06741], Hear [08085] my voice [06963]; ye wives [0802] of Lamech [03929], hearken [0238] unto my speech [0565]: for I have slain [02026] a man [0376] to my wounding [06482], and a young man [03206] to my hurt [02250]. 1 4 24 If [03588] Cain [07014] shall be avenged [05358] sevenfold [07659], truly Lamech [03929] seventy [07657] and sevenfold [07651]. 1 4 25 And Adam [0120] knew [03045] his wife [0802] again [05750]; and she bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Seth [08352]: For God [0430], said she, hath appointed [07896] me another [0312] seed [02233] instead [08478] of Abel [01893], whom [03588] Cain [07014] slew [02026]. 1 4 26 And to Seth [08352], to him [01931] also there was born [03205] a son [01121]; and he called [07121] his name [08034] Enos [0583]: then began men [02490] to call [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 1 5 1 This [02088] is the book [05612] of the generations [08435] of Adam [0121]. In the day [03117] that God [0430] created [01254] man [0120], in the likeness [01823] of God [0430] made [06213] he him; 1 5 2 Male [02145] and female [05347] created [01254] he them; and blessed [01288] them, and called [07121] their name [08034] Adam [0120], in the day [03117] when they were created [01254]. 1 5 3 And Adam [0121] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] a son in his own likeness [01823], after his image [06754]; and called [07121] his name [08034] Seth [08352]: 1 5 4 And the days [03117] of Adam [0121] after [0310] he had begotten [03205] Seth [08352] were eight [08083] hundred [03967] years [08141]: and he begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 5 And all the days [03117] that Adam [0121] lived [02425] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 6 And Seth [08352] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] [08141] and five [02568] years [08141], and begat [03205] Enos [0583]: 1 5 7 And Seth [08352] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Enos [0583] eight [08083] hundred [03967] [08141] and seven [07651] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 8 And all the days [03117] of Seth [08352] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] and twelve [06240] [08147] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 9 And Enos [0583] lived [02421] ninety [08673] years [08141], and begat [03205] Cainan [07018]: 1 5 10 And Enos [0583] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Cainan [07018] eight [08083] hundred [03967] [08141] and fifteen [06240] [02568] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 11 And all the days [03117] of Enos [0583] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] and five [02568] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 12 And Cainan [07018] lived [02421] seventy [07657] years [08141], and begat [03205] Mahalaleel [04111]: 1 5 13 And Cainan [07018] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Mahalaleel [04111] eight [08083] hundred [03967] [08141] and forty [0705] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 14 And all the days [03117] of Cainan [07018] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] and ten [06235] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 15 And Mahalaleel [04111] lived [02421] sixty [08346] [08141] and five [02568] years [08141], and begat [03205] Jared [03382]: 1 5 16 And Mahalaleel [04111] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Jared [03382] eight [08083] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 17 And all the days [03117] of Mahalaleel [04111] were eight [08083] hundred [03967] [08141] ninety [08673] and five [02568] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 18 And Jared [03382] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] sixty [08346] [08141] and two [08147] years [08141], and he begat [03205] Enoch [02585]: 1 5 19 And Jared [03382] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Enoch [02585] eight [08083] hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 20 And all the days [03117] of Jared [03382] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] sixty [08346] and two [08147] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 21 And Enoch [02585] lived [02421] sixty [08346] and five [02568] years [08141], and begat [03205] Methuselah [04968]: 1 5 22 And Enoch [02585] walked [01980] with [0854] God [0430] after [0310] he begat [03205] [0853] Methuselah [04968] three [07969] hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 23 And all the days [03117] of Enoch [02585] were three [07969] hundred [03967] [08141] sixty [08346] and five [02568] years [08141]: 1 5 24 And Enoch [02585] walked [01980] with God [0430]: and he was not; for God [0430] took [03947] him. 1 5 25 And Methuselah [04968] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] [08141] eighty [08084] and seven [07651] years [08141], and begat [03205] Lamech [03929]: 1 5 26 And Methuselah [04968] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Lamech [03929] seven [07651] hundred [03967] [08141] eighty [08084] and two [08147] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 27 And all the days [03117] of Methuselah [04968] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] sixty [08346] and nine [08672] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 28 And Lamech [03929] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] [08141] eighty [08084] and two [08147] years [08141], and begat [03205] a son [01121]: 1 5 29 And he called [07121] his name [08034] Noah [05146], saying [0559], This same shall comfort [05162] us concerning our work [04639] and toil [06093] of our hands [03027], because [04480] of the ground [0127] which the LORD [03068] hath cursed [0779]. 1 5 30 And Lamech [03929] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Noah [05146] five [02568] hundred [03967] [08141] ninety [08673] and five [02568] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: 1 5 31 And all the days [03117] of Lamech [03929] were seven [07651] hundred [03967] [08141] seventy [07657] and seven [07651] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 5 32 And Noah [05146] was five [02568] hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121]: and Noah [05146] begat [03205] Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315]. 1 6 1 And it came to pass, when men [0120] began [02490] to multiply [07231] on [05921] the face [06440] of the earth [0127], and daughters [01323] were born [03205] unto them, 1 6 2 That the sons [01121] of God [0430] saw [07200] the daughters [01323] of men [0120] that they [02007] were fair [02896]; and they took [03947] them wives [0802] of all which they chose [0977]. 1 6 3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], My spirit [07307] shall not always [05769] strive [01777] with man [0120], for that he also [01571] [07683] is flesh [01320]: yet his days [03117] shall be an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141]. 1 6 4 There were giants [05303] in the earth [0776] in those days [03117]; and also after [0310] that [03651], when [0834] the sons [01121] of God [0430] came in [0935] unto the daughters [01323] of men [0120], and they bare [03205] children to them, the same [01992] became mighty men [01368] which were of old [05769], men [0582] of renown [08034]. 1 6 5 And GOD [03068] saw [07200] that the wickedness [07451] of man [0120] was great [07227] in the earth [0776], and that every imagination [03336] of the thoughts [04284] of his heart [03820] was only [07535] evil [07451] continually [03117]. 1 6 6 And it repented [05162] the LORD [03068] that he had made [06213] man [0120] on the earth [0776], and it grieved [06087] him at [0413] his heart [03820]. 1 6 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I will destroy [04229] man [0120] whom I have created [01254] from the face [06440] of the earth [0127]; both man [0120], and [05704] beast [0929], and the creeping thing [07431], and the fowls [05775] of the air [08064]; for it repenteth [05162] me that I have made [06213] them. 1 6 8 But Noah [05146] found [04672] grace [02580] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 1 6 9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430]. 1 6 10 And Noah [05146] begat [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315]. 1 6 11 The earth [0776] also was corrupt [07843] before [06440] God [0430], and the earth [0776] was filled [04390] with violence [02555]. 1 6 12 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the earth [0776], and, behold, it was corrupt [07843]; for all flesh [01320] had corrupted [07843] his way [01870] upon the earth [0776]. 1 6 13 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], The end [07093] of all flesh [01320] is come [0935] before me [06440]; for the earth [0776] is filled with [04390] violence [02555] through them [06440]; and, behold, I will destroy [07843] them with [0854] the earth [0776]. 1 6 14 Make [06213] thee an ark [08392] of gopher [01613] wood [06086]; rooms [07064] shalt thou make [06213] in [0854] the ark [08392], and shalt pitch [03722] it within [01004] and without [02351] with pitch [03724]. 1 6 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make [06213] it of: The length [0753] of the ark [08392] shall be three [07969] hundred [03967] cubits [0520], the breadth [07341] of it fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of it thirty [07970] cubits [0520]. 1 6 16 A window [06672] shalt thou make [06213] to the ark [08392], and in a cubit [0520] shalt thou finish [03615] it above [04605]; and the door [06607] of the ark [08392] shalt thou set [07760] in the side thereof [06654]; with lower [08482], second [08145], and third [07992] stories shalt thou make [06213] it. 1 6 17 And, behold [02009], I [0589], even I, do bring [0935] a flood [03999] of waters [04325] upon the earth [0776], to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320], wherein is the breath [07307] of life [02416], from under [08478] heaven [08064]; and every thing [03605] that is in the earth [0776] shall die [01478]. 1 6 18 But with thee will I establish [06965] my covenant [01285]; and thou shalt come [0935] into [0413] the ark [08392], thou [0859], and thy sons [01121], and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee. 1 6 19 And of every living thing [02416] of all flesh [01320], two [08147] of every sort shalt thou bring [0935] into the ark [08392], to keep them alive [02421] with thee; they shall be male [02145] and female [05347]. 1 6 20 Of fowls [05775] after their kind [04327], and of cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], of every creeping thing [07431] of the earth [0127] after his kind [04327], two [08147] of every sort shall come [0935] unto thee, to keep them alive [02421]. 1 6 21 And take [03947] thou unto thee of all food [03978] that is eaten [0398], and thou shalt gather [0622] it to thee; and it shall be for food [0402] for thee, and for them. 1 6 22 Thus did [06213] Noah [05146]; according to all that God [0430] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he. 1 7 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], Come [0935] thou and all thy house [01004] into the ark [08392]; for thee have I seen [07200] righteous [06662] before me [06440] in this [02088] generation [01755]. 1 7 2 Of every clean [02889] beast [0929] thou shalt take [03947] to thee by sevens [07651] [07651], the male [0376] and his female [0802]: and of beasts [0929] that are not clean [02889] [01931] by two [08147], the male [0376] and his female [0802]. 1 7 3 Of fowls [05775] also of the air [08064] by sevens [07651] [07651], the male [02145] and the female [05347]; to keep [02421] seed [02233] alive [02421] upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776]. 1 7 4 For yet [05750] seven [07651] days [03117], and I will cause it to rain [04305] upon the earth [0776] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]; and every [03605] living substance [03351] that I have made [06213] will I destroy [04229] from off [05921] the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 1 7 5 And Noah [05146] did [06213] according unto all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him. 1 7 6 And Noah [05146] was six [08337] hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121] when the flood [03999] of waters [04325] was upon the earth [0776]. 1 7 7 And Noah [05146] went in [0935], and his sons [01121], and his wife [0802], and his sons [01121]' wives [0802] with him, into the ark [08392], because of [06440] the waters [04325] of the flood [03999]. 1 7 8 Of clean [02889] beasts [0929], and of beasts [0929] that are not clean [02889], and of fowls [05775], and of every thing that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0127], 1 7 9 There went in [0935] two [08147] and two [08147] unto Noah [05146] into the ark [08392], the male [02145] and the female [05347], as [0834] God [0430] had commanded [06680] Noah [05146]. 1 7 10 And it came to pass after seven [07651] days [03117], that the waters [04325] of the flood [03999] were upon the earth [0776]. 1 7 11 In [08141] the six [08337] hundredth [03967] year [08141] of Noah's [05146] life [02416], in the second [08145] month [02320], the seventeenth [07651] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], the same [02088] day [03117] were all the fountains [04599] of the great [07227] deep [08415] broken up [01234], and the windows [0699] of heaven [08064] were opened [06605]. 1 7 12 And the rain [01653] was upon the earth [0776] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]. 1 7 13 In the selfsame [06106] day [03117] entered [0935] Noah [05146], and Shem [08035], and Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315], the sons [01121] of Noah [05146], and Noah's [05146] wife [0802], and the three [07969] wives [0802] of his sons [01121] with them, into the ark [08392]; 1 7 14 They [01992], and every beast [02416] after his kind [04327], and all the cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], and every creeping thing [07431] that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776] after his kind [04327], and every fowl [05775] after his kind [04327], every bird [06833] of every sort [03671]. 1 7 15 And they went in [0935] unto Noah [05146] into the ark [08392], two [08147] and two [08147] of all flesh [01320], wherein [0834] is the breath [07307] of life [02416]. 1 7 16 And they that went in [0935], went in [0935] male [02145] and female [05347] of all flesh [01320], as God [0430] had commanded [06680] him: and the LORD [03068] shut him in [05462]. 1 7 17 And the flood [03999] was forty [0705] days [03117] upon the earth [0776]; and the waters [04325] increased [07235], and bare up [05375] the ark [08392], and it was lift up [07311] above the earth [0776]. 1 7 18 And the waters [04325] prevailed [01396], and were increased [07235] greatly [03966] upon the earth [0776]; and the ark [08392] went [03212] upon the face [06440] of the waters [04325]. 1 7 19 And the waters [04325] prevailed [01396] exceedingly [03966] [03966] upon the earth [0776]; and all the high [01364] hills [02022], that were under [08478] the whole heaven [08064], were covered [03680]. 1 7 20 Fifteen [06240] [02568] cubits [0520] upward [04605] did the waters [04325] prevail [01396]; and the mountains [02022] were covered [03680]. 1 7 21 And all flesh [01320] died [01478] that moved [07430] upon the earth [0776], both of fowl [05775], and of cattle [0929], and of beast [02416], and of every creeping thing [08318] that creepeth [08317] upon the earth [0776], and every man [0120]: 1 7 22 All in whose nostrils [0639] was the breath [05397] [07307] of life [02416], of all that was in the dry [02724] land, died [04191]. 1 7 23 And every living substance [03351] was destroyed [04229] which was upon the face [06440] of the ground [0127], both man [0120], and cattle [0929], and the creeping things [07431], and the fowl [05775] of the heaven [08064]; and they were destroyed [04229] from the earth [0776]: and Noah [05146] only [0389] remained [07604] alive, and they that [0834] were with him in the ark [08392]. 1 7 24 And the waters [04325] prevailed [01396] upon the earth [0776] an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] days [03117]. 1 8 1 And God [0430] remembered [02142] Noah [05146], and every living thing [02416], and all the cattle [0929] that was with him in the ark [08392]: and God [0430] made [05674] a wind [07307] to pass [05674] over [05921] the earth [0776], and the waters [04325] asswaged [07918]; 1 8 2 The fountains [04599] also of the deep [08415] and the windows [0699] of heaven [08064] were stopped [05534], and the rain [01653] from heaven [08064] was restrained [03607]; 1 8 3 And the waters [04325] returned [07725] from off the earth [0776] continually [01980] [07725]: and after the end [07097] of the hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] days [03117] the waters [04325] were abated [02637]. 1 8 4 And the ark [08392] rested [05117] in the seventh [07637] month [02320], on the seventeenth [06240] [07651] day [03117] of the month [02320], upon the mountains [02022] of Ararat [0780]. 1 8 5 And the waters [04325] decreased [02637] continually [01980] until [05704] the tenth [06224] month [02320]: in the tenth [06224] month, on the first [0259] day of the month [02320], were the tops [07218] of the mountains [02022] seen [07200]. 1 8 6 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of forty [0705] days [03117], that Noah [05146] opened [06605] the window [02474] of the ark [08392] which he had made [06213]: 1 8 7 And he sent forth [07971] a raven [06158], which went forth [03318] to [03318] and fro [07725], until the waters [04325] were dried up [03001] from off the earth [0776]. 1 8 8 Also he sent forth [07971] a dove [03123] from him, to see [07200] if the waters [04325] were abated [07043] from off the face [06440] of the ground [0127]; 1 8 9 But the dove [03123] found [04672] no rest [04494] for the sole [03709] of her foot [07272], and she returned [07725] unto him into the ark [08392], for the waters [04325] were on the face [06440] of the whole earth [0776]: then he put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took her [03947], and pulled her in [0935] unto him into the ark [08392]. 1 8 10 And he stayed [02342] yet other [0312] seven [07651] days [03117]; and again [03254] he sent forth [07971] the dove [03123] out of the ark [08392]; 1 8 11 And the dove [03123] came in [0935] to him in the evening [06256] [06153]; and, lo, in her mouth [06310] was an olive [02132] leaf [05929] pluckt off [02965]: so Noah [05146] knew [03045] that the waters [04325] were abated [07043] from off the earth [0776]. 1 8 12 And he stayed [03176] yet other [0312] seven [07651] days [03117]; and sent forth [07971] the dove [03123]; which returned [07725] not again [03254] unto him any more [05750]. 1 8 13 And it came to pass in the six [08337] hundredth [03967] and first year [08141], in the first [07223] month, the first [0259] day of the month [02320], the waters [04325] were dried up [02717] from off the earth [0776]: and Noah [05146] removed [05493] the covering [04372] of the ark [08392], and looked [07200], and, behold, the face [06440] of the ground [0127] was dry [02717]. 1 8 14 And in the second [08145] month [02320], on the seven [07651] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the month [02320], was the earth [0776] dried [03001]. 1 8 15 And God [0430] spake [01696] unto Noah [05146], saying [0559], 1 8 16 Go forth [03318] of the ark [08392], thou, and thy wife [0802], and thy sons [01121], and thy sons [01121]' wives [0802] with thee. 1 8 17 Bring forth [03318] with thee every living thing [02416] that is with thee, of all flesh [01320], both of fowl [05775], and of cattle [0929], and of every creeping thing [07431] that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776]; that they may breed abundantly [08317] in the earth [0776], and be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] upon the earth [0776]. 1 8 18 And Noah [05146] went forth [03318], and his sons [01121], and his wife [0802], and his sons [01121]' wives [0802] with him: 1 8 19 Every beast [02416], every creeping thing [07431], and every fowl [05775], and whatsoever [03605] creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776], after their kinds [04940], went forth [03318] out of the ark [08392]. 1 8 20 And Noah [05146] builded [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068]; and took [03947] of every clean [02889] beast [0929], and of every clean [02889] fowl [05775], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] on the altar [04196]. 1 8 21 And the LORD [03068] smelled [07306] a sweet [05207] savour [07381]; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] in [0413] his heart [03820], I will not again [03254] curse [07043] the ground [0127] any more for man's [0120] sake [05668]; for the imagination [03336] of man's [0120] heart [03820] is evil [07451] from his youth [05271]; neither will I again [03254] smite [05221] any more every thing living [02416], as I have done [06213]. 1 8 22 While the earth [0776] remaineth [03117], seedtime [02233] and harvest [07105], and cold [07120] and heat [02527], and summer [07019] and winter [02779], and day [03117] and night [03915] shall not cease [07673]. 1 9 1 And God [0430] blessed [01288] Noah [05146] and his sons [01121], and said [0559] unto them, Be fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235], and replenish [04390] the earth [0776]. 1 9 2 And the fear of you [04172] and the dread of you [02844] shall be upon every beast [02416] of the earth [0776], and upon every fowl [05775] of the air [08064], upon all that moveth [07430] upon the earth [0127], and upon all the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220]; into your hand [03027] are they delivered [05414]. 1 9 3 Every moving thing [07431] that liveth [02416] shall be meat [0402] for you; even as the green [03418] herb [06212] have I given [05414] you all things. 1 9 4 But [0389] flesh [01320] with the life [05315] thereof, which is the blood [01818] thereof, shall ye not eat [0398]. 1 9 5 And surely [0389] your blood [01818] of your lives [05315] will I require [01875]; at the hand [03027] of every beast [02416] will I require it [01875], and at the hand [03027] of man [0120]; at the hand [03027] of every man's [0376] brother [0251] will I require [01875] the life [05315] of man [0120]. 1 9 6 Whoso sheddeth [08210] man's [0120] blood [01818], by man [0120] shall his blood [01818] be shed [08210]: for in the image [06754] of God [0430] made [06213] he man [0120]. 1 9 7 And you, be ye fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235]; bring forth abundantly [08317] in the earth [0776], and multiply [07235] therein. 1 9 8 And God [0430] spake [0559] unto Noah [05146], and to his sons [01121] with him, saying [0559], 1 9 9 And I, behold, I establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with you, and with your seed [02233] after you [0310]; 1 9 10 And with every living [02416] creature [05315] that is with you, of the fowl [05775], of the cattle [0929], and of every beast [02416] of the earth [0776] with you; from all that go out [03318] of the ark [08392], to every beast [02416] of the earth [0776]. 1 9 11 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with you; neither shall all flesh [01320] be cut off [03772] any more by the waters [04325] of a flood [03999]; neither shall there any more be a flood [03999] to destroy [07843] the earth [0776]. 1 9 12 And God [0430] said [0559], This is the token [0226] of the covenant [01285] which I [0589] make [05414] between me and you and every living [02416] creature [05315] that is with you, for perpetual [05769] generations [01755]: 1 9 13 I do set [05414] my bow [07198] in the cloud [06051], and it shall be for a token [0226] of a covenant [01285] between me and the earth [0776]. 1 9 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring [06049] a cloud [06051] over the earth [0776], that the bow [07198] shall be seen [07200] in the cloud [06051]: 1 9 15 And I will remember [02142] my covenant [01285], which is between me and you and every living [02416] creature [05315] of all flesh [01320]; and the waters [04325] shall no more [05750] become a flood [03999] to destroy [07843] all flesh [01320]. 1 9 16 And the bow [07198] shall be in the cloud [06051]; and I will look upon it [07200], that I may remember [02142] the everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] between [0996] God [0430] and [0996] every living [02416] creature [05315] of all flesh [01320] that is upon the earth [0776]. 1 9 17 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Noah [05146], This is the token [0226] of the covenant [01285], which I have established [06965] between me and all flesh [01320] that is upon the earth [0776]. 1 9 18 And the sons [01121] of Noah [05146], that went forth [03318] of the ark [08392], were Shem [08035], and Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315]: and Ham [02526] [01931] is the father [01] of Canaan [03667]. 1 9 19 These are the three [07969] sons [01121] of Noah [05146]: and of them was the whole earth [0776] overspread [05310]. 1 9 20 And Noah [05146] began [02490] to be an husbandman [0376] [0127], and he planted [05193] a vineyard [03754]: 1 9 21 And he drank [08354] of the wine [03196], and was drunken [07937]; and he was uncovered [01540] within [08432] his tent [0168]. 1 9 22 And Ham [02526], the father [01] of Canaan [03667], saw [07200] the nakedness [06172] of his father [01], and told [05046] his two [08147] brethren [0251] without [02351]. 1 9 23 And Shem [08035] and Japheth [03315] took [03947] a garment [08071], and laid [07760] it upon both [08147] their shoulders [07926], and went [03212] backward [0322], and covered [03680] the nakedness [06172] of their father [01]; and their faces [06440] were backward [0322], and they saw [07200] not their father's [01] nakedness [06172]. 1 9 24 And Noah [05146] awoke [03364] from his wine [03196], and knew [03045] what his younger [06996] son [01121] had done [06213] unto him. 1 9 25 And he said [0559], Cursed [0779] be Canaan [03667]; a servant [05650] of servants [05650] shall he be unto his brethren [0251]. 1 9 26 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Shem [08035]; and Canaan [03667] shall be [01961] his servant [05650]. 1 9 27 God [0430] shall enlarge [06601] Japheth [03315], and he shall dwell [07931] in the tents [0168] of Shem [08035]; and Canaan [03667] shall be his servant [05650]. 1 9 28 And Noah [05146] lived [02421] after [0310] the flood [03999] three [07969] hundred [03967] [08141] and fifty [02572] years [08141]. 1 9 29 And all the days [03117] of Noah [05146] were nine [08672] hundred [03967] [08141] and fifty [02572] years [08141]: and he died [04191]. 1 10 1 Now these are the generations [08435] of the sons [01121] of Noah [05146], Shem [08035], Ham [02526], and Japheth [03315]: and unto them were sons [01121] born [03205] after [0310] the flood [03999]. 1 10 2 The sons [01121] of Japheth [03315]; Gomer [01586], and Magog [04031], and Madai [04074], and Javan [03120], and Tubal [08422], and Meshech [04902], and Tiras [08494]. 1 10 3 And the sons [01121] of Gomer [01586]; Ashkenaz [0813], and Riphath [07384], and Togarmah [08425]. 1 10 4 And the sons [01121] of Javan [03120]; Elishah [0473], and Tarshish [08659], Kittim [03794], and Dodanim [01721]. 1 10 5 By these were the isles [0339] of the Gentiles [01471] divided in [06504] their lands [0776]; every one [0376] after his tongue [03956], after their families [04940], in their nations [01471]. 1 10 6 And the sons [01121] of Ham [02526]; Cush [03568], and Mizraim [04714], and Phut [06316], and Canaan [03667]. 1 10 7 And the sons [01121] of Cush [03568]; Seba [05434], and Havilah [02341], and Sabtah [05454], and Raamah [07484], and Sabtecha [05455]: and the sons [01121] of Raamah [07484]; Sheba [07614], and Dedan [01719]. 1 10 8 And Cush [03568] begat [03205] Nimrod [05248]: he began [02490] to be [01961] a mighty one [01368] in the earth [0776]. 1 10 9 He was a mighty [01368] hunter [06718] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: wherefore [03651] it is said [0559], Even as Nimrod [05248] the mighty [01368] hunter [06718] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 1 10 10 And the beginning [07225] of his kingdom [04467] was Babel [0894], and Erech [0751], and Accad [0390], and Calneh [03641], in the land [0776] of Shinar [08152]. 1 10 11 Out of that land [0776] went forth [03318] Asshur [0804], and builded [01129] Nineveh [05210], and the city [05892] Rehoboth [07344], and Calah [03625], 1 10 12 And Resen [07449] between Nineveh [05210] and Calah [03625]: the same is a great [01419] city [05892]. 1 10 13 And Mizraim [04714] begat [03205] Ludim [03866], and Anamim [06047], and Lehabim [03853], and Naphtuhim [05320], 1 10 14 And Pathrusim [06625], and Casluhim [03695], (out of whom came [03318] Philistim [06430],) and Caphtorim [03732]. 1 10 15 And Canaan [03667] begat [03205] Sidon [06721] his firstborn [01060], and Heth [02845], 1 10 16 And the Jebusite [02983], and the Amorite [0567], and the Girgasite [01622], 1 10 17 And the Hivite [02340], and the Arkite [06208], and the Sinite [05513], 1 10 18 And the Arvadite [0721], and the Zemarite [06786], and the Hamathite [02577]: and afterward [0310] were the families [04940] of the Canaanites [03669] spread abroad [06327]. 1 10 19 And the border [01366] of the Canaanites [03669] was from Sidon [06721], as thou comest [0935] to Gerar [01642], unto Gaza [05804]; as thou goest [0935], unto Sodom [05467], and Gomorrah [06017], and Admah [0126], and Zeboim [06636], even unto Lasha [03962]. 1 10 20 These are the sons [01121] of Ham [02526], after their families [04940], after their tongues [03956], in their countries [0776], and in their nations [01471]. 1 10 21 Unto Shem [08035] also, the father [01] of all the children [01121] of Eber [05677], the brother [0251] of Japheth [03315] the elder [01419], even to him were children born [03205]. 1 10 22 The children [01121] of Shem [08035]; Elam [05867], and Asshur [0804], and Arphaxad [0775], and Lud [03865], and Aram [0758]. 1 10 23 And the children [01121] of Aram [0758]; Uz [05780], and Hul [02343], and Gether [01666], and Mash [04851]. 1 10 24 And Arphaxad [0775] begat [03205] Salah [07974]; and Salah [07974] begat [03205] Eber [05677]. 1 10 25 And unto Eber [05677] were born [03205] two [08147] sons [01121]: the name [08034] of one [0259] was Peleg [06389]; for in his days [03117] was the earth [0776] divided [06385]; and his brother's [0251] name [08034] was Joktan [03355]. 1 10 26 And Joktan [03355] begat [03205] Almodad [0486], and Sheleph [08026], and Hazarmaveth [02700], and Jerah [03392], 1 10 27 And Hadoram [01913], and Uzal [0187], and Diklah [01853], 1 10 28 And Obal [05745], and Abimael [039], and Sheba [07614], 1 10 29 And Ophir [0211], and Havilah [02341], and Jobab [03103]: all these were the sons [01121] of Joktan [03355]. 1 10 30 And their dwelling [04186] was from Mesha [04852], as thou goest [0935] unto Sephar [05611] a mount [02022] of the east [06924]. 1 10 31 These are the sons [01121] of Shem [08035], after their families [04940], after their tongues [03956], in their lands [0776], after their nations [01471]. 1 10 32 These are the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Noah [05146], after their generations [08435], in their nations [01471]: and by these were the nations [01471] divided [06504] in the earth [0776] after [0310] the flood [03999]. 1 11 1 And the whole earth [0776] was of one [0259] language [08193], and of one [0259] speech [01697]. 1 11 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed [05265] from the east [06924], that they found [04672] a plain [01237] in the land [0776] of Shinar [08152]; and they dwelt [03427] there. 1 11 3 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], Go to [03051], let us make [03835] brick [03843], and burn [08313] them throughly [08316]. And they had brick [03843] for stone [068], and slime [02564] had [01961] they for morter [02563]. 1 11 4 And they said [0559], Go to [03051], let us build [01129] us a city [05892] and a tower [04026], whose top [07218] may reach unto heaven [08064]; and let us make [06213] us a name [08034], lest we be scattered abroad [06327] upon the face [06440] of the whole earth [0776]. 1 11 5 And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] to see [07200] the city [05892] and the tower [04026], which the children [01121] of men [0120] builded [01129]. 1 11 6 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Behold, the people [05971] is one [0259], and they have all one [0259] language [08193]; and this they begin [02490] to do [06213]: and now nothing [03808] [03605] will be restrained [01219] from them, which they have imagined [02161] to do [06213]. 1 11 7 Go to [03051], let us go down [03381], and there confound [01101] their language [08193], that [0834] they may not understand [08085] one [0376] another's [07453] speech [08193]. 1 11 8 So the LORD [03068] scattered them abroad [06327] from thence [08033] upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776]: and they left off [02308] to build [01129] the city [05892]. 1 11 9 Therefore is the name of it [08034] called [07121] Babel [0894]; because the LORD [03068] did there confound [01101] the language [08193] of all the earth [0776]: and from thence did [06327] the LORD [03068] scatter them abroad [06327] upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776]. 1 11 10 These are the generations [08435] of Shem [08035]: Shem [08035] was an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121], and begat [03205] Arphaxad [0775] two years [08141] after [0310] the flood [03999]: 1 11 11 And Shem [08035] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Arphaxad [0775] five [02568] hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 12 And Arphaxad [0775] lived [02425] five [02568] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Salah [07974]: 1 11 13 And Arphaxad [0775] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Salah [07974] four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and three [07969] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 14 And Salah [07974] lived [02425] thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Eber [05677]: 1 11 15 And Salah [07974] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Eber [05677] four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and three [07969] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 16 And Eber [05677] lived [02421] four [0702] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Peleg [06389]: 1 11 17 And Eber [05677] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Peleg [06389] four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 18 And Peleg [06389] lived [02421] thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Reu [07466]: 1 11 19 And Peleg [06389] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Reu [07466] two hundred [03967] [08141] and nine [08672] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 20 And Reu [07466] lived [02421] two [08147] and thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Serug [08286]: 1 11 21 And Reu [07466] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Serug [08286] two hundred [03967] [08141] and seven [07651] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 22 And Serug [08286] lived [02421] thirty [07970] years [08141], and begat [03205] Nahor [05152]: 1 11 23 And Serug [08286] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Nahor [05152] two hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 24 And Nahor [05152] lived [02421] nine [08672] and twenty [06242] years [08141], and begat [03205] Terah [08646]: 1 11 25 And Nahor [05152] lived [02421] after [0310] he begat [03205] Terah [08646] an hundred [03967] [08141] and nineteen [06240] [08672] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 1 11 26 And Terah [08646] lived [02421] seventy [07657] years [08141], and begat [03205] Abram [087], Nahor [05152], and Haran [02039]. 1 11 27 Now these are the generations [08435] of Terah [08646]: Terah [08646] begat [03205] Abram [087], Nahor [05152], and Haran [02039]; and Haran [02039] begat [03205] Lot [03876]. 1 11 28 And Haran [02039] died [04191] before [06440] his father [01] Terah [08646] in the land [0776] of his nativity [04138], in Ur [0218] of the Chaldees [03778]. 1 11 29 And Abram [087] and Nahor [05152] took [03947] them wives [0802]: the name [08034] of Abram's [087] wife [0802] was Sarai [08297]; and the name [08034] of Nahor's [05152] wife [0802], Milcah [04435], the daughter [01323] of Haran [02039], the father [01] of Milcah [04435], and the father [01] of Iscah [03252]. 1 11 30 But Sarai [08297] was barren [06135]; she had no child [02056]. 1 11 31 And Terah [08646] took [03947] Abram [087] his son [01121], and Lot [03876] the son [01121] of Haran [02039] his son's [01121] son [01121], and Sarai [08297] his daughter in law [03618], his son [01121] Abram's [087] wife [0802]; and they went forth [03318] with them from Ur [0218] of the Chaldees [03778], to go [03212] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; and they came [0935] unto Haran [02771], and dwelt [03427] there. 1 11 32 And the days [03117] of Terah [08646] were two hundred [03967] [08141] and five [02568] years [08141]: and Terah [08646] died [04191] in Haran [02771]. 1 12 1 Now the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Abram [087], Get thee out [03212] of thy country [0776], and from thy kindred [04138], and from thy father's [01] house [01004], unto a land [0776] that I will shew [07200] thee: 1 12 2 And I will make of thee [06213] a great [01419] nation [01471], and I will bless [01288] thee, and make [01431] thy name [08034] great [01431]; and thou shalt be a blessing [01293]: 1 12 3 And I will bless [01288] them that bless [01288] thee, and curse [0779] him that curseth [07043] thee: and in thee shall all families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288]. 1 12 4 So Abram [087] departed [03212], as the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto him; and Lot [03876] went [03212] with him: and Abram [087] was seventy [07657] [08141] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he departed [03318] out of Haran [02771]. 1 12 5 And Abram [087] took [03947] Sarai [08297] his wife [0802], and Lot [03876] his brother's [0251] son [01121], and all their substance [07399] that they had gathered [07408], and the souls [05315] that they had gotten [06213] in Haran [02771]; and they went forth [03318] to go [03212] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; and into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] they came [0935]. 1 12 6 And Abram [087] passed through [05674] the land [0776] unto the place [04725] of Sichem [07927], unto the plain [0436] of Moreh [04176]. And the Canaanite [03669] was then [0227] in the land [0776]. 1 12 7 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto Abram [087], and said [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] will I give [05414] this [02063] land [0776]: and there builded [01129] he an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], who appeared [07200] unto him. 1 12 8 And he removed [06275] from thence unto a mountain [02022] on the east [06924] of Bethel [01008], and pitched [05186] his tent [0168], having Bethel [01008] on the west [03220], and Hai [05857] on the east [06924]: and there he builded [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], and called [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 1 12 9 And Abram [087] journeyed [05265], going on [01980] still [05265] toward the south [05045]. 1 12 10 And there was a famine [07458] in the land [0776]: and Abram [087] went down [03381] into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there; for the famine [07458] was grievous [03515] in the land [0776]. 1 12 11 And it came to pass, when [0834] he was come near [07126] to enter [0935] into Egypt [04714], that he said [0559] unto Sarai [08297] his wife [0802], Behold [02009] now [04994], I know [03045] that thou art a fair [03303] woman [0802] to look upon [04758]: 1 12 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians [04713] shall see [07200] thee, that they shall say [0559], This is his wife [0802]: and they will kill [02026] me, but they will save thee alive [02421]. 1 12 13 Say [0559], I pray thee [04994], thou art my sister [0269]: that [04616] it may be well [03190] with me for thy sake; and my soul [05315] shall live [02421] because of thee [01558]. 1 12 14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram [087] was come [0935] into Egypt [04714], the Egyptians [04713] beheld [07200] the woman [0802] that she was very [03966] fair [03303]. 1 12 15 The princes [08269] also of Pharaoh [06547] saw [07200] her, and commended [01984] her before [0413] Pharaoh [06547]: and the woman [0802] was taken [03947] into Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004]. 1 12 16 And he entreated [03190] Abram [087] well [03190] for her sake: and he had sheep [06629], and oxen [01241], and he asses [02543], and menservants [05650], and maidservants [08198], and she asses [0860], and camels [01581]. 1 12 17 And the LORD [03068] plagued [05060] Pharaoh [06547] and his house [01004] with great [01419] plagues [05061] because of [01697] Sarai [08297] Abram's [087] wife [0802]. 1 12 18 And Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] Abram [087], and said [0559], What is this that thou hast done [06213] unto me? why didst thou not tell [05046] me that she was thy wife [0802]? 1 12 19 Why saidst thou [0559], She is my sister [0269]? so I might have taken [03947] her to me to wife [0802]: now therefore behold thy wife [0802], take [03947] her, and go thy way [03212]. 1 12 20 And Pharaoh [06547] commanded [06680] his men [0582] concerning him: and they sent him away [07971], and his wife [0802], and all that he had. 1 13 1 And Abram [087] went up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], he, and his wife [0802], and all that he had, and Lot [03876] with him, into the south [05045]. 1 13 2 And Abram [087] was very [03966] rich [03513] in cattle [04735], in silver [03701], and in gold [02091]. 1 13 3 And he went [03212] on his journeys [04550] from the south [05045] even to Bethel [01008], unto the place [04725] where his tent [0168] had been [01961] at the beginning [08462], between Bethel [01008] and Hai [05857]; 1 13 4 Unto the place [04725] of the altar [04196], which he had made [06213] there at the first [07223]: and there Abram [087] called [07121] on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 1 13 5 And Lot [03876] also, which went [01980] with [0854] Abram [087], had flocks [06629], and herds [01241], and tents [0168]. 1 13 6 And the land [0776] was not able to bear [05375] them, that they might dwell [03427] together [03162]: for their substance [07399] was great [07227], so that they could [03201] not dwell [03427] together [03162]. 1 13 7 And there was a strife [07379] between the herdmen [07462] of Abram's [087] cattle [04735] and the herdmen [07462] of Lot's [03876] cattle [04735]: and the Canaanite [03669] and the Perizzite [06522] dwelled [03427] then in the land [0776]. 1 13 8 And Abram [087] said [0559] unto Lot [03876], Let there be [01961] no [0408] strife [04808], I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen [07462] and thy herdmen [07462]; for we [0582] be brethren [0251]. 1 13 9 Is not the whole land [0776] before thee [06440]? separate thyself [06504], I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand [08040], then I will go to the right [03231]; or if thou depart to the right hand [03225], then I will go to the left [08041]. 1 13 10 And Lot [03876] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and beheld [07200] all the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383], that it was well watered [04945] every where, before [06440] the LORD [03068] destroyed [07843] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], even as the garden [01588] of the LORD [03068], like the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as thou comest [0935] unto Zoar [06820]. 1 13 11 Then Lot [03876] chose [0977] him all the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383]; and Lot [03876] journeyed [05265] east [06924]: and they separated themselves [06504] the one [0376] from the other [0251]. 1 13 12 Abram [087] dwelled [03427] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and Lot [03876] dwelled [03427] in the cities [05892] of the plain [03603], and pitched his tent [0167] toward [05704] Sodom [05467]. 1 13 13 But the men [0582] of Sodom [05467] were wicked [07451] and sinners [02400] before the LORD [03068] exceedingly [03966]. 1 13 14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Abram [087], after [0310] that Lot [03876] was separated [06504] from him, Lift up [05375] now thine eyes [05869], and look [07200] from the place [04725] where thou art northward [06828], and southward [05045], and eastward [06924], and westward [03220]: 1 13 15 For all the land [0776] which thou seest [07200], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769]. 1 13 16 And I will make [07760] thy seed [02233] as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776]: so that [0834] if a man [0376] can [03201] number [04487] the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], then shall thy seed [02233] also be numbered [04487]. 1 13 17 Arise [06965], walk [01980] through the land [0776] in the length [0753] of it and in the breadth [07341] of it; for I will give [05414] it unto thee. 1 13 18 Then Abram [087] removed his tent [0167], and came [0935] and dwelt [03427] in the plain [0436] of Mamre [04471], which is in Hebron [02275], and built [01129] there an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068]. 1 14 1 And it came to pass in the days [03117] of Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495], Chedorlaomer [03540] king [04428] of Elam [05867], and Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471]; 1 14 2 That these made [06213] war [04421] with [0854] Bera [01298] king [04428] of Sodom [05467], and with Birsha [01306] king [04428] of Gomorrah [06017], Shinab [08134] king [04428] of Admah [0126], and Shemeber [08038] king [04428] of Zeboiim [06636], and the king [04428] of Bela [01106], which is [01931] Zoar [06820]. 1 14 3 All these were joined together [02266] in the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708], which [01931] is the salt [04417] sea [03220]. 1 14 4 Twelve [06240] [08147] years [08141] they served [05647] [0853] Chedorlaomer [03540], and in the thirteenth [07969] [06240] year [08141] they rebelled [04775]. 1 14 5 And in the fourteenth [06240] [0702] year [08141] came [0935] Chedorlaomer [03540], and the kings [04428] that were with him, and smote [05221] the Rephaims [07497] in Ashteroth Karnaim [06255], and the Zuzims [02104] in Ham [01990], and the Emims [0368] in Shaveh Kiriathaim [07741], 1 14 6 And the Horites [02752] in their mount [02042] Seir [08165], unto Elparan [0364], which is by [05921] the wilderness [04057]. 1 14 7 And they returned [07725], and came [0935] to [0413] Enmishpat [05880], which is Kadesh [06946], and smote [05221] all the country [07704] of the Amalekites [06003], and also the Amorites [0567], that dwelt [03427] in Hazezontamar [02688]. 1 14 8 And there went out [03318] the king [04428] of Sodom [05467], and the king [04428] of Gomorrah [06017], and the king [04428] of Admah [0126], and the king [04428] of Zeboiim [06636], and the king [04428] of Bela [01106] (the same [01931] is Zoar [06820];) and they joined [06186] battle [04421] with them in the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708]; 1 14 9 With Chedorlaomer [03540] the king [04428] of Elam [05867], and with Tidal [08413] king [04428] of nations [01471], and Amraphel [0569] king [04428] of Shinar [08152], and Arioch [0746] king [04428] of Ellasar [0495]; four [0702] kings [04428] with five [02568]. 1 14 10 And the vale [06010] of Siddim [07708] was full of [0875] slimepits [0875] [02564]; and the kings [04428] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] fled [05127], and fell [05307] there; and they that remained [07604] fled [05127] to the mountain [02022]. 1 14 11 And they took [03947] all the goods [07399] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], and all their victuals [0400], and went their way [03212]. 1 14 12 And they took [03947] Lot [03876], Abram's [087] brother's [0251] son [01121], who dwelt [03427] in Sodom [05467], and his goods [07399], and departed [03212]. 1 14 13 And there came [0935] one that had escaped [06412], and told [05046] Abram [087] the Hebrew [05680]; for he dwelt [07931] in the plain [0436] of Mamre [04471] the Amorite [0567], brother [0251] of Eshcol [0812], and brother [0251] of Aner [06063]: and these were confederate [01167] [01285] with Abram [087]. 1 14 14 And when Abram [087] heard [08085] that his brother [0251] was taken captive [07617], he armed [07324] his trained [02593] servants, born [03211] in his own house [01004], three [07969] hundred [03967] and eighteen [06240] [08083], and pursued [07291] them unto Dan [01835]. 1 14 15 And he divided [02505] himself against them, he and his servants [05650], by night [03915], and smote [05221] them, and pursued [07291] them unto Hobah [02327], which is on the left hand [08040] of Damascus [01834]. 1 14 16 And he brought back [07725] all the goods [07399], and also brought again [07725] his brother [0251] Lot [03876], and his goods [07399], and the women [0802] also, and the people [05971]. 1 14 17 And the king [04428] of Sodom [05467] went out [03318] to meet [07125] him after [0310] his return [07725] from the slaughter [05221] of Chedorlaomer [03540], and of the kings [04428] that were with him, at the valley [06010] of Shaveh [07740], which [01931] is the king's [04428] dale [06010]. 1 14 18 And Melchizedek [04442] king [04428] of Salem [08004] brought forth [03318] bread [03899] and wine [03196]: and he was the priest [03548] of the most high [05945] God [0410]. 1 14 19 And he blessed [01288] him, and said [0559], Blessed [01288] be Abram [087] of the most high [05945] God [0410], possessor [07069] of heaven [08064] and earth [0776]: 1 14 20 And blessed [01288] be the most high [05945] God [0410], which hath delivered [04042] thine enemies [06862] into thy hand [03027]. And he gave [05414] him tithes [04643] of all. 1 14 21 And the king [04428] of Sodom [05467] said [0559] unto Abram [087], Give [05414] me the persons [05315], and take [03947] the goods [07399] to thyself. 1 14 22 And Abram [087] said [0559] to the king [04428] of Sodom [05467], I have lift up [07311] mine hand [03027] unto the LORD [03068], the most high [05945] God [0410], the possessor [07069] of heaven [08064] and earth [0776], 1 14 23 That I will not [0518] take from a thread [02339] even to a shoelatchet [05275] [08288], and that I will not [0518] take [03947] any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say [0559], I have made [06238] Abram [087] rich [06238]: 1 14 24 Save [01107] only that which [0834] the young men [05288] have eaten [0398], and the portion [02506] of the men [0582] which went [01980] with [0854] me, Aner [06063], Eshcol [0812], and Mamre [04471]; let them [01992] take [03947] their portion [02506]. 1 15 1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939]. 1 15 2 And Abram [087] said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], what wilt thou give [05414] me, seeing I go [01980] childless [06185], and the steward [01121] [04943] of my house [01004] is this [01931] Eliezer [0461] of Damascus [01834]? 1 15 3 And Abram [087] said [0559], Behold, to me thou hast given [05414] no [03808] seed [02233]: and, lo, one born [01121] in my house [01004] is mine heir [03423]. 1 15 4 And, behold, the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto him, saying [0559], This shall not be thine heir [03423]; but he that shall come forth [03318] out of thine own bowels [04578] shall be thine heir [03423]. 1 15 5 And he brought him forth [03318] abroad [02351], and said [0559], Look [05027] now toward heaven [08064], and tell [05608] the stars [03556], if thou be able [03201] to number [05608] them: and he said [0559] unto him, So [03541] shall thy seed [02233] be. 1 15 6 And he believed [0539] in the LORD [03068]; and he counted [02803] it to him for righteousness [06666]. 1 15 7 And he said [0559] unto him, I am the LORD [03068] that brought thee out [03318] of Ur [0218] of the Chaldees [03778], to give [05414] thee this land [0776] to inherit [03423] it. 1 15 8 And he said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], whereby [04100] shall I know [03045] that I shall inherit it [03423]? 1 15 9 And he said [0559] unto him, Take [03947] me an heifer [05697] of three years old [08027], and a she goat [05795] of three years old [08027], and a ram [0352] of three years old [08027], and a turtledove [08449], and a young pigeon [01469]. 1 15 10 And he took [03947] unto him all these, and divided [01334] them in the midst [08432], and laid [05414] each [0376] piece [01335] one against [07125] another [07453]: but the birds [06833] divided [01334] he not. 1 15 11 And when the fowls [05861] came down [03381] upon the carcases [06297], Abram [087] drove them away [05380]. 1 15 12 And when the sun [08121] was going down [0935], a deep sleep [08639] fell [05307] upon Abram [087]; and, lo, an horror [0367] of great [01419] darkness [02825] fell [05307] upon him. 1 15 13 And he said [0559] unto Abram [087], Know [03045] of a surety [03045] that thy seed [02233] shall be a stranger [01616] in a land [0776] that is not theirs, and shall serve [05647] them; and they shall afflict [06031] them four [0702] hundred [03967] years [08141]; 1 15 14 And also that nation [01471], whom they shall serve [05647], will I judge [01777]: and afterward [0310] [03651] shall they come out [03318] with great [01419] substance [07399]. 1 15 15 And thou shalt go [0935] to thy fathers [01] in peace [07965]; thou shalt be buried [06912] in a good [02896] old age [07872]. 1 15 16 But in the fourth [07243] generation [01755] they shall come hither [02008] again [07725]: for the iniquity [05771] of the Amorites [0567] is not yet [02008] full [08003]. 1 15 17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun [08121] went down [0935], and it was dark [05939], behold a smoking [06227] furnace [08574], and a burning [0784] lamp [03940] that passed [05674] between [0996] those pieces [01506]. 1 15 18 In the same [01931] day [03117] the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with Abram [087], saying [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] have I given [05414] this land [0776], from the river [05104] of Egypt [04714] unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]: 1 15 19 The Kenites [07017], and the Kenizzites [07074], and the Kadmonites [06935], 1 15 20 And the Hittites [02850], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Rephaims [07497], 1 15 21 And the Amorites [0567], and the Canaanites [03669], and the Girgashites [01622], and the Jebusites [02983]. 1 16 1 Now Sarai [08297] Abram's [087] wife [0802] bare [03205] him no [03808] children [03205]: and she had an handmaid [08198], an Egyptian [04713], whose name [08034] was Hagar [01904]. 1 16 2 And Sarai [08297] said [0559] unto Abram [087], Behold now, the LORD [03068] hath restrained me [06113] from bearing [03205]: I pray thee, go in [0935] unto my maid [08198]; it may [0194] be that I may obtain children [01129] by her. And Abram [087] hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of Sarai [08297]. 1 16 3 And Sarai [08297] Abram's [087] wife [0802] took [03947] Hagar [01904] her maid [08198] the Egyptian [04713], after [07093] Abram [087] had dwelt [03427] ten [06235] years [08141] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and gave [05414] her to her husband [0376] Abram [087] to be his wife [0802]. 1 16 4 And he went in [0935] unto Hagar [01904], and she conceived [02029]: and when she saw [07200] that she had conceived [02029], her mistress [01404] was despised [07043] in her eyes [05869]. 1 16 5 And Sarai [08297] said [0559] unto Abram [087], My wrong [02555] be upon thee: I have given [05414] my maid [08198] into thy bosom [02436]; and when she saw [07200] that she had conceived [02029], I was despised [07043] in her eyes [05869]: the LORD [03068] judge [08199] between me and thee. 1 16 6 But Abram [087] said [0559] unto Sarai [08297], Behold, thy maid [08198] is in thy hand [03027]; do [06213] to her as it pleaseth thee [02896] [05869]. And when Sarai [08297] dealt hardly with [06031] her, she fled [01272] from her face [06440]. 1 16 7 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] found her [04672] by a fountain [05869] of water [04325] in the wilderness [04057], by the fountain [05869] in the way [01870] to Shur [07793]. 1 16 8 And he said [0559], Hagar [01904], Sarai's [08297] maid [08198], whence [0335] camest thou [0935]? and whither wilt thou go [03212]? And she said [0559], I flee [01272] from the face [06440] of my mistress [01404] Sarai [08297]. 1 16 9 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Return [07725] to thy mistress [01404], and submit [06031] thyself under her hands [03027]. 1 16 10 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, I will multiply [07235] thy seed [02233] exceedingly [07235], that it shall not be numbered [05608] for multitude [07230]. 1 16 11 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Behold [02009], thou art with child [02030], and shalt bear [03205] a son [01121], and shalt call [07121] his name [08034] Ishmael [03458]; because the LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] thy affliction [06040]. 1 16 12 And he will be a wild [06501] man [0120]; his hand [03027] will be against every man, and every man's hand [03027] against him; and he shall dwell [07931] in the presence [06440] of all his brethren [0251]. 1 16 13 And she called [07121] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] that spake [01696] unto her, Thou God [0410] seest me [07210]: for she said [0559], Have I also here [01988] looked [07200] after him [0310] that seeth me [07210]? 1 16 14 Wherefore the well [0875] was called [07121] Beerlahairoi [0883] [02416]; behold, it is between Kadesh [06946] and Bered [01260]. 1 16 15 And Hagar [01904] bare [03205] Abram [087] a son [01121]: and Abram [087] called [07121] his son's [01121] name [08034], which Hagar [01904] bare [03205], Ishmael [03458]. 1 16 16 And Abram [087] was fourscore [08084] [08141] and six [08337] years [08141] old [01121], when Hagar [01904] bare [03205] Ishmael [03458] to Abram [087]. 1 17 1 And when Abram [087] was ninety [08673] [08141] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Abram [087], and said [0559] unto him, I am the Almighty [07706] God [0410]; walk [01980] before me [06440], and be thou perfect [08549]. 1 17 2 And I will make [05414] my covenant [01285] between me and thee, and will multiply [07235] thee exceedingly [03966] [03966]. 1 17 3 And Abram [087] fell [05307] on his face [06440]: and God [0430] talked [01696] with him, saying [0559], 1 17 4 As for me [0589], behold, my covenant [01285] is with thee, and thou shalt be a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471]. 1 17 5 Neither shall thy name [08034] any more be called [07121] Abram [087], but thy name [08034] shall be Abraham [085]; for a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471] have I made thee [05414]. 1 17 6 And I will make [06509] thee exceeding [03966] [03966] fruitful [06509], and I will make [05414] nations [01471] of thee, and kings [04428] shall come out [03318] of thee. 1 17 7 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] between me and thee and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], to be a God [0430] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310]. 1 17 8 And I will give [05414] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310], the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272]; and I will be their God [0430]. 1 17 9 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Thou shalt keep [08104] my covenant [01285] therefore, thou, and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755]. 1 17 10 This is my covenant [01285], which ye shall keep [08104], between me and you and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310]; Every man child [02145] among you shall be circumcised [04135]. 1 17 11 And ye shall circumcise [05243] the flesh [01320] of your foreskin [06190]; and it shall be a token [0226] of the covenant [01285] betwixt me and you. 1 17 12 And he that is eight [08083] days [03117] old [01121] shall be circumcised [04135] among you, every man child [02145] in your generations [01755], he that is born [03211] in the house [01004], or bought [04736] with money [03701] of any stranger [01121] [05236], which is not of thy seed [02233]. 1 17 13 He that is born [03211] in thy house [01004], and he that is bought [04736] with thy money [03701], must needs [04135] be circumcised [04135]: and my covenant [01285] shall be in your flesh [01320] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285]. 1 17 14 And the uncircumcised [06189] man child [02145] whose [0834] flesh [01320] of his foreskin [06190] is not circumcised [04135], that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]; he hath broken [06565] my covenant [01285]. 1 17 15 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], As for Sarai [08297] thy wife [0802], thou shalt not call [07121] her name [08034] Sarai [08297], but [03588] Sarah [08283] shall her name [08034] be. 1 17 16 And I will bless [01288] her, and give [05414] thee a son [01121] also of her: yea, I will bless [01288] her, and she shall be a mother of nations [01471]; kings [04428] of people [05971] shall be of her. 1 17 17 Then Abraham [085] fell [05307] upon his face [06440], and laughed [06711], and said [0559] in his heart [03820], Shall a child be born [03205] unto him that is an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121]? and shall Sarah [08283], that is ninety [08673] years [08141] old [01323], bear [03205]? 1 17 18 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto God [0430], O that [03863] Ishmael [03458] might live [02421] before thee [06440]! 1 17 19 And God [0430] said [0559], Sarah [08283] thy wife [0802] shall bear [03205] thee a son [01121] indeed [061]; and thou shalt call [07121] his name [08034] Isaac [03327]: and I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with him for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], and with his seed [02233] after him [0310]. 1 17 20 And as for Ishmael [03458], I have heard thee [08085]: Behold, I have blessed [01288] him, and will make him fruitful [06509], and will multiply [07235] him exceedingly [03966] [03966]; twelve [06240] [08147] princes [05387] shall he beget [03205], and I will make him [05414] a great [01419] nation [01471]. 1 17 21 But my covenant [01285] will I establish [06965] with Isaac [03327], which Sarah [08283] shall bear [03205] unto thee at this set time [04150] in the next [0312] year [08141]. 1 17 22 And he left off [03615] talking [01696] with him, and God [0430] went up [05927] from Abraham [085]. 1 17 23 And Abraham [085] took [03947] Ishmael [03458] his son [01121], and all that were born [03211] in his house [01004], and all that were bought [04736] with his money [03701], every male [02145] among the men [0582] of Abraham's [085] house [01004]; and circumcised [04135] the flesh [01320] of their foreskin [06190] in the selfsame [06106] day [03117], as God [0430] had said [01696] unto him. 1 17 24 And Abraham [085] was ninety [08673] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], when he was circumcised [04135] in the flesh [01320] of his foreskin [06190]. 1 17 25 And Ishmael [03458] his son [01121] was thirteen [06240] [07969] years [08141] old [01121], when he was circumcised [04135] in the flesh [01320] of his foreskin [06190]. 1 17 26 In the selfsame [06106] day [03117] was Abraham [085] circumcised [04135], and Ishmael [03458] his son [01121]. 1 17 27 And all the men [0582] of his house [01004], born [03211] in the house [01004], and bought [04736] with money [03701] of the stranger [01121] [05236], were circumcised [04135] with him. 1 18 1 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him in the plains [0436] of Mamre [04471]: and he sat [03427] in the tent [0168] door [06607] in the heat [02527] of the day [03117]; 1 18 2 And he lift up [05375] his eyes [05869] and looked [07200], and, lo, three [07969] men [0582] stood [05324] by him: and when he saw [07200] them, he ran [07323] to meet [07125] them from the tent [0168] door [06607], and bowed [07812] himself toward the ground [0776], 1 18 3 And said [0559], My Lord [0136], if now I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869], pass not away [05674], I pray thee, from thy servant [05650]: 1 18 4 Let a little [04592] water [04325], I pray you [04994], be fetched [03947], and wash [07364] your feet [07272], and rest yourselves [08172] under the tree [06086]: 1 18 5 And I will fetch [03947] a morsel [06595] of bread [03899], and comfort ye [05582] your hearts [03820]; after that [0310] ye shall pass on [05674]: for therefore are ye come [05674] to [05921] your servant [05650]. And they said [01696], So do [06213], as thou hast said [0559]. 1 18 6 And Abraham [085] hastened [04116] into the tent [0168] unto Sarah [08283], and said [0559], Make ready quickly [04116] three [07969] measures [05429] of fine [05560] meal [07058], knead [03888] it, and make [06213] cakes [05692] upon the hearth [06213]. 1 18 7 And Abraham [085] ran [07323] unto the herd [01241], and fetcht [03947] a calf [01121] [01241] tender [07390] and good [02896], and gave [05414] it unto a young man [05288]; and he hasted [04116] to dress [06213] it. 1 18 8 And he took [03947] butter [02529], and milk [02461], and the calf [01121] [01241] which he had dressed [06213], and set [05414] it before them [06440]; and he stood [05975] by them under the tree [06086], and they did eat [0398]. 1 18 9 And they said [0559] unto him, Where [0346] is Sarah [08283] thy wife [0802]? And he said [0559], Behold, in the tent [0168]. 1 18 10 And he said [0559], I will certainly [07725] return [07725] unto thee according to the time [06256] of life [02416]; and, lo, Sarah [08283] thy wife [0802] shall have a son [01121]. And Sarah [08283] heard [08085] it in the tent [0168] door [06607], which was behind him [0310]. 1 18 11 Now Abraham [085] and Sarah [08283] were old [02205] and well stricken [0935] in age [03117]; and it ceased [02308] to be with Sarah [08283] after the manner [0734] of women [0802]. 1 18 12 Therefore Sarah [08283] laughed [06711] within herself [07130], saying [0559], After [0310] I am waxed old [01086] shall I have pleasure [05730], my lord [0113] being old also [02204]? 1 18 13 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Wherefore [04100] did Sarah [08283] laugh [06711], saying [0559], Shall I of a surety [0552] bear [03205] a child, which [0589] am old [02204]? 1 18 14 Is [06381] any thing [01697] too hard [06381] for the LORD [03068]? At the time appointed [04150] I will return [07725] unto thee, according to the time [06256] of life [02416], and Sarah [08283] shall have a son [01121]. 1 18 15 Then Sarah [08283] denied [03584], saying [0559], I laughed [06711] not; for she was afraid [03372]. And he said [0559], Nay [03808]; but thou didst laugh [06711]. 1 18 16 And the men [0582] rose up [06965] from thence, and looked [08259] toward [06440] Sodom [05467]: and Abraham [085] went [01980] with them to bring them on the way [07971]. 1 18 17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Shall I hide [03680] from Abraham [085] that thing which [0834] I do [06213]; 1 18 18 Seeing that Abraham [085] shall surely become a great [01419] and mighty [06099] nation [01471], and all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] shall be blessed [01288] in him? 1 18 19 For I know [03045] him, that [0834] he will command [06680] his children [01121] and his household [01004] after him [0310], and they shall keep [08104] the way [01870] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] justice [06666] and judgment [04941]; that the LORD [03068] may bring [0935] upon Abraham [085] that which he hath spoken [01696] of him. 1 18 20 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Because the cry [02201] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] is great [07227], and because their sin [02403] is very [03966] grievous [03513]; 1 18 21 I will go down [03381] now, and see [07200] whether they have done [06213] altogether [03617] according to the cry [06818] of it, which is come [0935] unto me; and if not, I will know [03045]. 1 18 22 And the men [0582] turned their faces [06437] from thence, and went [03212] toward Sodom [05467]: but Abraham [085] stood [05975] yet [05750] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 1 18 23 And Abraham [085] drew near [05066], and said [0559], Wilt thou also destroy [05595] the righteous [06662] with [05973] the wicked [07563]? 1 18 24 Peradventure there be [03426] fifty [02572] righteous [06662] within [08432] the city [05892]: wilt thou also destroy [05595] and not spare [05375] the place [04725] for [04616] the fifty [02572] righteous [06662] that are therein [07130]? 1 18 25 That be far [02486] from thee to do [06213] after this manner [01697], to slay [04191] the righteous [06662] with the wicked [07563]: and that the righteous [06662] should be as the wicked [07563], that be far [02486] from thee: Shall not the Judge [08199] of all the earth [0776] do [06213] right [04941]? 1 18 26 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], If I find [04672] in Sodom [05467] fifty [02572] righteous [06662] within [08432] the city [05892], then I will spare [05375] all the place [04725] for their sakes. 1 18 27 And Abraham [085] answered [06030] and said [0559], Behold now, I have taken upon me [02974] to speak [01696] unto the Lord [0136], which [0595] am but dust [06083] and ashes [0665]: 1 18 28 Peradventure there shall lack [02637] five [02568] of the fifty [02572] righteous [06662]: wilt thou destroy [07843] all the city [05892] for lack of five [02568]? And he said [0559], If I find [04672] there forty [0705] and five [02568], I will not destroy [07843] it. 1 18 29 And he spake [01696] unto him yet again [03254], and said [0559], Peradventure there shall be forty [0705] found [04672] there. And he said [0559], I will not do [06213] it for forty's [0705] sake. 1 18 30 And he said [0559] unto him, Oh [04994] let not the Lord [0136] be angry [02734], and I will speak [01696]: Peradventure there shall thirty [07970] be found [04672] there. And he said [0559], I will not do [06213] it, if I find [04672] thirty [07970] there. 1 18 31 And he said [0559], Behold now, I have taken upon me [02974] to speak [01696] unto the Lord [0136]: Peradventure there shall be twenty [06242] found [04672] there. And he said [0559], I will not destroy [07843] it for twenty's [06242] sake. 1 18 32 And he said [0559], Oh let not the Lord [0136] be angry [02734], and I will speak [01696] yet [0389] but this once [06471]: Peradventure ten [06235] shall be found [04672] there. And he said [0559], I will not destroy [07843] it for ten's [06235] sake. 1 18 33 And the LORD [03068] went his way [03212], as soon as [0834] he had left [03615] communing [01696] with Abraham [085]: and Abraham [085] returned [07725] unto his place [04725]. 1 19 1 And there came [0935] two [08147] angels [04397] to Sodom [05467] at even [06153]; and Lot [03876] sat [03427] in the gate [08179] of Sodom [05467]: and Lot [03876] seeing [07200] them rose up [06965] to meet [07125] them; and he bowed [07812] himself with his face [0639] toward the ground [0776]; 1 19 2 And he said [0559], Behold now, my lords [0113], turn in [05493], I pray you, into your servant's [05650] house [01004], and tarry all night [03885], and wash [07364] your feet [07272], and ye shall rise up early [07925], and go [01980] on your ways [01870]. And they said [0559], Nay; but we will abide [03885] in the street [07339] all night [03885]. 1 19 3 And he pressed [06484] upon them greatly [03966]; and they turned in [05493] unto him, and entered [0935] into his house [01004]; and he made [06213] them a feast [04960], and did bake [0644] unleavened bread [04682], and they did eat [0398]. 1 19 4 But before they lay down [07901], the men [0582] of the city [05892], even the men [0582] of Sodom [05467], compassed [05437] the house [01004] round [05437], both old [02205] and young [05288], all the people [05971] from every quarter [07097]: 1 19 5 And they called [07121] unto Lot [03876], and said [0559] unto him, Where are the men [0582] which came in [0935] to thee this night [03915]? bring them out [03318] unto us, that we may know [03045] them. 1 19 6 And Lot [03876] went out [03318] at the door [06607] unto them, and shut [05462] the door [01817] after him [0310], 1 19 7 And said [0559], I pray you, brethren [0251], do not so wickedly [07489]. 1 19 8 Behold now, I have two [08147] daughters [01323] which have not known [03045] man [0376]; let me, I pray you, bring them out [03318] unto you, and do [06213] ye to them as is good [02896] in your eyes [05869]: only unto these [0411] men [0582] do [06213] nothing [0408] [01697]; for therefore came [0935] they under the shadow [06738] of my roof [06982]. 1 19 9 And they said [0559], Stand [05066] back [01973]. And they said [0559] again, This one [0259] fellow came in [0935] to sojourn [01481], and he will needs [08199] be a judge [08199]: now will we deal worse [07489] with thee, than with them. And they pressed [06484] sore [03966] upon the man [0376], even Lot [03876], and came near [05066] to break [07665] the door [01817]. 1 19 10 But the men [0582] put forth [07971] their hand [03027], and pulled [0935] Lot [03876] into the house [01004] to them, and shut [05462] to the door [01817]. 1 19 11 And they smote [05221] the men [0582] that were at the door [06607] of the house [01004] with blindness [05575], both small [06996] and great [01419]: so that they wearied [03811] themselves to find [04672] the door [06607]. 1 19 12 And the men [0582] said [0559] unto Lot [03876], Hast thou here [06311] any [04310] besides? son in law [02860], and thy sons [01121], and thy daughters [01323], and whatsoever [0834] thou hast in the city [05892], bring them out [03318] of this place [04725]: 1 19 13 For we [0587] will destroy [07843] [0853] this place [04725], because the cry of them [06818] is waxen great [01431] before [0854] the face [06440] of the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] us to destroy [07843] it. 1 19 14 And Lot [03876] went out [03318], and spake [01696] unto his sons in law [02860], which married [03947] his daughters [01323], and said [0559], Up [06965], get you out [03318] of this place [04725]; for the LORD [03068] will destroy [07843] this city [05892]. But he seemed as one that mocked [06711] unto [05869] his sons in law [02860]. 1 19 15 And when [03644] the morning [07837] arose [05927], then the angels [04397] hastened [0213] Lot [03876], saying [0559], Arise [06965], take [03947] thy wife [0802], and thy two [08147] daughters [01323], which are here [04672]; lest thou be consumed [05595] in the iniquity [05771] of the city [05892]. 1 19 16 And while he lingered [04102], the men [0582] laid hold [02388] upon his hand [03027], and upon the hand [03027] of his wife [0802], and upon the hand [03027] of his two [08147] daughters [01323]; the LORD [03068] being merciful [02551] unto him: and they brought him forth [03318], and set him [03240] without [02351] the city [05892]. 1 19 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth [03318] abroad [02351], that he said [0559], Escape [04422] for [05921] thy life [05315]; look [05027] not behind thee [0310], neither stay [05975] thou in all the plain [03603]; escape [04422] to the mountain [02022], lest thou be consumed [05595]. 1 19 18 And Lot [03876] said [0559] unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord [0113]: 1 19 19 Behold now, thy servant [05650] hath found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], and thou hast magnified [01431] thy mercy [02617], which thou hast shewed [06213] unto me [05978] in saving [02421] my life [05315]; and I cannot [03201] escape [04422] to the mountain [02022], lest some evil [07451] take [01692] me, and I die [04191]: 1 19 20 Behold now, this city [05892] is near [07138] to flee [05127] unto, and it [01931] is a little one [04705]: Oh, let me escape [04422] thither, (is it not a little one [04705]?) and my soul [05315] shall live [02421]. 1 19 21 And he said [0559] unto him, See [02009], I have accepted [05375] thee [06440] concerning this thing [01697] also, that I will not overthrow [02015] this city [05892], for the which [0834] thou hast spoken [01696]. 1 19 22 Haste [04116] thee, escape [04422] thither; for I cannot [03201] do [06213] any thing [01697] till thou be come [0935] thither. Therefore the name [08034] of the city [05892] was called [07121] Zoar [06820]. 1 19 23 The sun [08121] was risen [03318] upon the earth [0776] when Lot [03876] entered [0935] into Zoar [06820]. 1 19 24 Then the LORD [03068] rained [04305] upon Sodom [05467] and upon Gomorrah [06017] brimstone [01614] and fire [0784] from the LORD [03068] out of heaven [08064]; 1 19 25 And he overthrew [02015] those [0411] cities [05892], and all the plain [03603], and all the inhabitants [03427] of the cities [05892], and that which grew [06780] upon the ground [0127]. 1 19 26 But his wife [0802] looked back [05027] from behind him [0310], and she became a pillar [05333] of salt [04417]. 1 19 27 And Abraham [085] gat up early [07925] in the morning [01242] to the place [04725] where he stood [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 1 19 28 And he looked [08259] toward [06440] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], and toward [06440] all the land [0776] of the plain [03603], and beheld [07200], and, lo, the smoke [07008] of the country [0776] went up [05927] as the smoke [07008] of a furnace [03536]. 1 19 29 And it came to pass, when God [0430] destroyed [07843] the cities [05892] of the plain [03603], that God [0430] remembered [02142] Abraham [085], and sent [07971] Lot [03876] out of the midst [08432] of the overthrow [02018], when he overthrew [02015] the cities [05892] in the which [02004] Lot [03876] dwelt [03427]. 1 19 30 And Lot [03876] went up [05927] out of Zoar [06820], and dwelt [03427] in the mountain [02022], and his two [08147] daughters [01323] with him; for he feared [03372] to dwell [03427] in Zoar [06820]: and he dwelt [03427] in a cave [04631], he and his two [08147] daughters [01323]. 1 19 31 And the firstborn [01067] said [0559] unto the younger [06810], Our father [01] is old [02204], and there is not a man [0376] in the earth [0776] to come in [0935] unto us after the manner [01870] of all the earth [0776]: 1 19 32 Come [03212], let us make [08248] our father [01] drink [08248] wine [03196], and we will lie [07901] with him, that we may preserve [02421] seed [02233] of our father [01]. 1 19 33 And they made [08248] their father [01] drink [08248] wine [03196] that night [03915]: and the firstborn [01067] went in [0935], and lay [07901] with her father [01]; and he perceived [03045] not when she lay down [07901], nor when she arose [06965]. 1 19 34 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that the firstborn [01067] said [0559] unto the younger [06810], Behold, I lay [07901] yesternight [0570] with my father [01]: let us make him drink [08248] wine [03196] this night [03915] also; and go thou in [0935], and lie [07901] with him, that we may preserve [02421] seed [02233] of our father [01]. 1 19 35 And they made [08248] their father [01] drink [08248] wine [03196] that [01931] night [03915] also: and the younger [06810] arose [06965], and lay [07901] with him; and he perceived [03045] not when she lay down [07901], nor when she arose [06965]. 1 19 36 Thus were both [08147] the daughters [01323] of Lot [03876] with child [02029] by their father [01]. 1 19 37 And the firstborn [01067] bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Moab [04124]: the same [01931] is the father [01] of the Moabites [04124] unto this day [03117]. 1 19 38 And the younger [06810], she also bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Benammi [01151]: the same is the father [01] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] unto this day [03117]. 1 20 1 And Abraham [085] journeyed [05265] from thence toward the south [05045] country [0776], and dwelled [03427] between Kadesh [06946] and Shur [07793], and sojourned [01481] in Gerar [01642]. 1 20 2 And Abraham [085] said [0559] of [0413] Sarah [08283] his wife [0802], She is my sister [0269]: and Abimelech [040] king [04428] of Gerar [01642] sent [07971], and took [03947] Sarah [08283]. 1 20 3 But God [0430] came [0935] to Abimelech [040] in a dream [02472] by night [03915], and said [0559] to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man [04191], for the woman [0802] which thou hast taken [03947]; for she is a man's [01167] wife [01166]. 1 20 4 But Abimelech [040] had not come near [07126] her: and he said [0559], Lord [0136], wilt thou slay [02026] also a righteous [06662] nation [01471]? 1 20 5 Said [0559] he not unto me, She [01931] is my sister [0269]? and she [01931], even [01571] she [01931] herself said [0559], He is my brother [0251]: in the integrity [08537] of my heart [03824] and innocency [05356] of my hands [03709] have I done [06213] this. 1 20 6 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him in a dream [02472], Yea [01571], I know [03045] that thou didst [06213] this in the integrity [08537] of thy heart [03824]; for I also withheld [02820] thee from sinning [02398] against me: therefore suffered [05414] I thee not to touch [05060] her. 1 20 7 Now therefore restore [07725] the man [0376] his wife [0802]; for he is a prophet [05030], and he shall pray [06419] for thee [01157], and thou shalt live [02421]: and if thou restore [07725] her not, know [03045] thou that thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191], thou, and all that are thine. 1 20 8 Therefore Abimelech [040] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242], and called [07121] all his servants [05650], and told [01696] all these things [01697] in their ears [0241]: and the men [0582] were sore [03966] afraid [03372]. 1 20 9 Then Abimelech [040] called [07121] Abraham [085], and said [0559] unto him, What hast thou done [06213] unto us? and what have I offended [02398] thee, that thou hast brought [0935] on me and on my kingdom [04467] a great [01419] sin [02401]? thou hast done [06213] deeds [04639] unto me that ought not to be done [06213]. 1 20 10 And Abimelech [040] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], What [04100] sawest thou [07200], that thou hast done [06213] this thing [01697]? 1 20 11 And Abraham [085] said [0559], Because I thought [0559], Surely [07535] the fear [03374] of God [0430] is not in this place [04725]; and they will slay me [02026] for my wife's [0802] sake [01697]. 1 20 12 And yet indeed [0546] she is my sister [0269]; she is the daughter [01323] of my father [01], but not the daughter [01323] of my mother [0517]; and she became my wife [0802]. 1 20 13 And it came to pass, when God [0430] caused me to wander [08582] from my father's [01] house [01004], that I said [0559] unto her, This is thy kindness [02617] which thou shalt shew [06213] unto me; at every place [04725] whither we shall come [0935], say [0559] of me, He is my brother [0251]. 1 20 14 And Abimelech [040] took [03947] sheep [06629], and oxen [01241], and menservants [05650], and womenservants [08198], and gave [05414] them unto Abraham [085], and restored [07725] him Sarah [08283] his wife [0802]. 1 20 15 And Abimelech [040] said [0559], Behold, my land [0776] is before thee [06440]: dwell [03427] where it pleaseth [02896] [05869] thee. 1 20 16 And unto Sarah [08283] he said [0559], Behold, I have given [05414] thy brother [0251] a thousand [0505] pieces of silver [03701]: behold, he is to thee a covering [03682] of the eyes [05869], unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved [03198]. 1 20 17 So Abraham [085] prayed [06419] unto God [0430]: and God [0430] healed [07495] Abimelech [040], and his wife [0802], and his maidservants [0519]; and they bare [03205] children. 1 20 18 For the LORD [03068] had fast [06113] closed up [06113] all the wombs [07358] of the house [01004] of Abimelech [040], because [01697] of Sarah [08283] Abraham's [085] wife [0802]. 1 21 1 And the LORD [03068] visited [06485] Sarah [08283] as he had said [0559], and the LORD [03068] did [06213] unto Sarah [08283] as he had spoken [01696]. 1 21 2 For Sarah [08283] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] Abraham [085] a son [01121] in his old age [02208], at the set time [04150] of which God [0430] had spoken [01696] to him. 1 21 3 And Abraham [085] called [07121] the name [08034] of his son [01121] that was born [03205] unto him, whom Sarah [08283] bare [03205] to him, Isaac [03327]. 1 21 4 And Abraham [085] circumcised [04135] his son [01121] Isaac [03327] being eight [08083] days [03117] old [01121], as God [0430] had commanded [06680] him. 1 21 5 And Abraham [085] was an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121], when his son [01121] Isaac [03327] was born [03205] unto him. 1 21 6 And Sarah [08283] said [0559], God [0430] hath made [06213] me to laugh [06712], so that all that hear [08085] will laugh [06711] with me. 1 21 7 And she said [0559], Who would have said [04448] unto Abraham [085], that Sarah [08283] should have given children [01121] suck [03243]? for I have born [03205] him a son [01121] in his old age [02208]. 1 21 8 And the child [03206] grew [01431], and was weaned [01580]: and Abraham [085] made [06213] a great [01419] feast [04960] the same day [03117] that Isaac [03327] was weaned [01580]. 1 21 9 And Sarah [08283] saw [07200] the son [01121] of Hagar [01904] the Egyptian [04713], which she had born [03205] unto Abraham [085], mocking [06711]. 1 21 10 Wherefore she said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Cast out [01644] this bondwoman [0519] and her son [01121]: for the son [01121] of this bondwoman [0519] shall not be heir [03423] with my son [01121], even with Isaac [03327]. 1 21 11 And the thing [01697] was very [03966] grievous [03415] in Abraham's [085] sight [05869] because [0182] of his son [01121]. 1 21 12 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Let it not be grievous [03415] in thy sight [05869] because of the lad [05288], and because of thy bondwoman [0519]; in all that Sarah [08283] hath said [0559] unto thee, hearken [08085] unto her voice [06963]; for in Isaac [03327] shall thy seed [02233] be called [07121]. 1 21 13 And also of the son [01121] of the bondwoman [0519] will I make [07760] a nation [01471], because he is thy seed [02233]. 1 21 14 And Abraham [085] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and took [03947] bread [03899], and a bottle [02573] of water [04325], and gave [05414] it unto Hagar [01904], putting [07760] it on her shoulder [07926], and the child [03206], and sent her away [07971]: and she departed [03212], and wandered [08582] in the wilderness [04057] of Beersheba [0884]. 1 21 15 And the water [04325] was spent [03615] in [04480] the bottle [02573], and she cast [07993] the child [03206] under one [0259] of the shrubs [07880]. 1 21 16 And she went [03212], and sat her down [03427] over against [05048] him a good way off [07368], as it were a bowshot [02909] [07198]: for she said [0559], Let me not see [07200] the death [04194] of the child [03206]. And she sat [03427] over against him, and lift up [05375] her voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 1 21 17 And God [0430] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the lad [05288]; and the angel [04397] of God [0430] called [07121] to Hagar [01904] out of heaven [08064], and said [0559] unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar [01904]? fear [03372] not; for God [0430] hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the lad [05288] where he is. 1 21 18 Arise [06965], lift up [05375] the lad [05288], and hold [02388] him in thine hand [03027]; for I will make [07760] him a great [01419] nation [01471]. 1 21 19 And God [0430] opened [06491] her eyes [05869], and she saw [07200] a well [0875] of water [04325]; and she went [03212], and filled [04390] the bottle [02573] with water [04325], and gave [08248] the lad [05288] drink [08248]. 1 21 20 And God [0430] was with the lad [05288]; and he grew [01431], and dwelt [03427] in the wilderness [04057], and became an archer [07235] [07199]. 1 21 21 And he dwelt [03427] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]: and his mother [0517] took [03947] him a wife [0802] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 21 22 And it came to pass at that time [06256], that Abimelech [040] and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635] spake [0559] unto Abraham [085], saying [0559], God [0430] is with thee in all that thou doest [06213]: 1 21 23 Now therefore swear [07650] unto me here [02008] by God [0430] that thou wilt not deal falsely [08266] with me, nor with my son [05209], nor with my son's son [05220]: but according to the kindness [02617] that I have done [06213] unto thee, thou shalt do [06213] unto me, and to the land [0776] wherein thou hast sojourned [01481]. 1 21 24 And Abraham [085] said [0559], I will swear [07650]. 1 21 25 And Abraham [085] reproved [03198] Abimelech [040] because [0182] of a well [0875] of water [04325], which Abimelech's [040] servants [05650] had violently taken away [01497]. 1 21 26 And Abimelech [040] said [0559], I wot [03045] not who hath done [06213] this thing [01697]: neither [03808] didst thou tell [05046] me, neither [03808] yet heard [08085] I of it, but [01115] to day [03117]. 1 21 27 And Abraham [085] took [03947] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], and gave [05414] them unto Abimelech [040]; and both of them [08147] made [03772] a covenant [01285]. 1 21 28 And Abraham [085] set [05324] seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] of the flock [06629] by themselves. 1 21 29 And Abimelech [040] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], What [02008] mean these seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] which thou hast set [05324] by themselves? 1 21 30 And he said [0559], For these seven [07651] ewe lambs [03535] shalt thou take [03947] of my hand [03027], that [05668] they may be a witness [05713] unto me, that I have digged [02658] this well [0875]. 1 21 31 Wherefore he called [07121] that place [04725] Beersheba [0884]; because there they sware [07650] both of them [08147]. 1 21 32 Thus they made [03772] a covenant [01285] at Beersheba [0884]: then Abimelech [040] rose up [06965], and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his host [06635], and they returned [07725] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]. 1 21 33 And Abraham planted [05193] a grove [0815] in Beersheba [0884], and called [07121] there on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], the everlasting [05769] God [0410]. 1 21 34 And Abraham [085] sojourned [01481] in the Philistines [06430]' land [0776] many [07227] days [03117]. 1 22 1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that God [0430] did tempt [05254] Abraham [085], and said [0559] unto him, Abraham [085]: and he said [0559], Behold, here I am. 1 22 2 And he said [0559], Take now [03947] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son Isaac [03327], whom thou lovest [0157], and get thee [03212] into the land [0776] of Moriah [04179]; and offer him [05927] there for a burnt offering [05930] upon one [0259] of the mountains [02022] which I will tell [0559] thee of. 1 22 3 And Abraham [085] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and took [03947] two [08147] of his young men [05288] with him, and Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and clave [01234] the wood [06086] for the burnt offering [05930], and rose up [06965], and went [03212] unto the place [04725] of which God [0430] had told [0559] him. 1 22 4 Then on the third [07992] day [03117] Abraham [085] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the place [04725] afar off [07350]. 1 22 5 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto his young men [05288], Abide [03427] ye here with the ass [02543]; and I and the lad [05288] will go [03212] yonder [03541] and worship [07812], and come again [07725] to you. 1 22 6 And Abraham [085] took [03947] the wood [06086] of the burnt offering [05930], and laid [07760] it upon Isaac [03327] his son [01121]; and he took [03947] the fire [0784] in his hand [03027], and a knife [03979]; and they went [03212] both [08147] of them together [03162]. 1 22 7 And Isaac [03327] spake [0559] unto Abraham [085] his father [01], and said [0559], My father [01]: and he said [0559], Here am I, my son [01121]. And he said [0559], Behold the fire [0784] and the wood [06086]: but where is the lamb [07716] for a burnt offering [05930]? 1 22 8 And Abraham [085] said [0559], My son [01121], God [0430] will provide [07200] himself a lamb [07716] for a burnt offering [05930]: so they went [03212] both of them [08147] together [03162]. 1 22 9 And they came [0935] to the place [04725] which God [0430] had told [0559] him of; and Abraham [085] built [01129] an altar [04196] there, and laid [06186] the wood [06086] in order [06186], and bound [06123] Isaac [03327] his son [01121], and laid [07760] him on the altar [04196] upon [04605] the wood [06086]. 1 22 10 And Abraham [085] stretched forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took [03947] the knife [03979] to slay [07819] his son [01121]. 1 22 11 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto him out of heaven [08064], and said [0559], Abraham [085], Abraham [085]: and he said [0559], Here am I. 1 22 12 And he said [0559], Lay [07971] not thine hand [03027] upon [0413] the lad [05288], neither do thou [06213] any thing [03972] unto him: for now [06258] I know [03045] that thou fearest [03373] God [0430], seeing thou hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son from me. 1 22 13 And Abraham [085] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold behind [0310] him a ram [0352] caught [0270] in a thicket [05442] by his horns [07161]: and Abraham [085] went [03212] and took [03947] the ram [0352], and offered him up [05927] for a burnt offering [05930] in the stead [08478] of his son [01121]. 1 22 14 And Abraham [085] called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Jehovahjireh [03070]: as [0834] it is said [0559] to this day [03117], In the mount [02022] of the LORD [03068] it shall be seen [07200]. 1 22 15 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto Abraham [085] out of heaven [08064] the second time [08145], 1 22 16 And said [0559], By myself have I sworn [07650], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], for because [03282] [0834] thou hast done [06213] this thing [01697], and hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son: 1 22 17 That in blessing [01288] I will bless [01288] thee, and in multiplying [07235] I will multiply [07235] thy seed [02233] as the stars [03556] of the heaven [08064], and as the sand [02344] which is upon the sea [03220] shore [08193]; and thy seed [02233] shall possess [03423] the gate [08179] of his enemies [0341]; 1 22 18 And in thy seed [02233] shall all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] be blessed [01288]; because [0834] [06118] thou hast obeyed [08085] my voice [06963]. 1 22 19 So Abraham [085] returned [07725] unto his young men [05288], and they rose up [06965] and went [03212] together [03162] to Beersheba [0884]; and Abraham [085] dwelt [03427] at Beersheba [0884]. 1 22 20 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that it was told [05046] Abraham [085], saying [0559], Behold, Milcah [04435], she hath also born [03205] children [01121] unto thy brother [0251] Nahor [05152]; 1 22 21 Huz [05780] his firstborn [01060], and Buz [0938] his brother [0251], and Kemuel [07055] the father [01] of Aram [0758], 1 22 22 And Chesed [03777], and Hazo [02375], and Pildash [06394], and Jidlaph [03044], and Bethuel [01328]. 1 22 23 And Bethuel [01328] begat [03205] Rebekah [07259]: these eight [08083] Milcah [04435] did bear [03205] to Nahor [05152], Abraham's [085] brother [0251]. 1 22 24 And his concubine [06370], whose name [08034] was Reumah [07208], she bare [03205] also Tebah [02875], and Gaham [01514], and Thahash [08477], and Maachah [04601]. 1 23 1 And Sarah [08283] was an hundred [03967] [08141] and seven [07651] [08141] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [02416]: these were the years [08141] of the life [02416] of Sarah [08283]. 1 23 2 And Sarah [08283] died [04191] in Kirjatharba [07153]; the same is Hebron [02275] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]: and Abraham [085] came [0935] to mourn [05594] for Sarah [08283], and to weep [01058] for her. 1 23 3 And Abraham [085] stood up [06965] from before [06440] his dead [04191], and spake [01696] unto the sons [01121] of Heth [02845], saying [0559], 1 23 4 I am a stranger [01616] and a sojourner [08453] with you: give [05414] me a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] with you, that I may bury [06912] my dead [04191] out of my sight [06440]. 1 23 5 And the children [01121] of Heth [02845] answered [06030] Abraham [085], saying [0559] unto him, 1 23 6 Hear us [08085], my lord [0113]: thou art a mighty [0430] prince [05387] among us [08432]: in the choice [04005] of our sepulchres [06913] bury [06912] thy dead [04191]; none [03808] [0376] of us shall withhold [03607] from thee his sepulchre [06913], but that thou mayest bury [06912] thy dead [04191]. 1 23 7 And Abraham [085] stood up [06965], and bowed [07812] himself to the people [05971] of the land [0776], even to the children [01121] of Heth [02845]. 1 23 8 And he communed [01696] with them, saying [0559], If it be [03426] your mind [05315] that I should bury [06912] my dead [04191] out of my sight [06440]; hear [08085] me, and intreat [06293] for me to Ephron [06085] the son [01121] of Zohar [06714], 1 23 9 That he may give [05414] me the cave [04631] of Machpelah [04375], which he hath, which is in the end [07097] of his field [07704]; for as much [04392] money [03701] as it is worth [04392] he shall give it [05414] me for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] amongst you [08432]. 1 23 10 And Ephron [06085] dwelt [03427] among [08432] the children [01121] of Heth [02845]: and Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850] answered [06030] Abraham [085] in the audience [0241] of the children [01121] of Heth [02845], even of all that went in [0935] at the gate [08179] of his city [05892], saying [0559], 1 23 11 Nay [03808], my lord [0113], hear me [08085]: the field [07704] give I [05414] thee, and the cave [04631] that is therein, I give it [05414] thee; in the presence [05869] of the sons [01121] of my people [05971] give [05414] I it thee: bury [06912] thy dead [04191]. 1 23 12 And Abraham [085] bowed down [07812] himself before [06440] the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 1 23 13 And he spake [01696] unto Ephron [06085] in the audience [0241] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], saying [0559], But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee [03863], hear [08085] me: I will give [05414] thee money [03701] for the field [07704]; take [03947] it of me, and I will bury [06912] my dead [04191] there. 1 23 14 And Ephron [06085] answered [06030] Abraham [085], saying [0559] unto him, 1 23 15 My lord [0113], hearken [08085] unto me: the land [0776] is worth four [0702] hundred [03967] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]; what is that betwixt [0996] me and thee? bury [06912] therefore thy dead [04191]. 1 23 16 And Abraham [085] hearkened [08085] unto Ephron [06085]; and Abraham [085] weighed [08254] to Ephron [06085] the silver [03701], which he had named [01696] in the audience [0241] of the sons [01121] of Heth [02845], four [0702] hundred [03967] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], current [05674] money with the merchant [05503]. 1 23 17 And the field [07704] of Ephron [06085], which was in Machpelah [04375], which was before [06440] Mamre [04471], the field [07704], and the cave [04631] which was therein, and all the trees [06086] that were in the field [07704], that were in all the borders [01366] round about [05439], were made sure [06965] 1 23 18 Unto Abraham [085] for a possession [04736] in the presence [05869] of the children [01121] of Heth [02845], before all that went in [0935] at the gate [08179] of his city [05892]. 1 23 19 And after [0310] this [03651], Abraham [085] buried [06912] Sarah [08283] his wife [0802] in the cave [04631] of the field [07704] of Machpelah [04375] before [06440] Mamre [04471]: the same is Hebron [02275] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 1 23 20 And the field [07704], and the cave [04631] that is therein, were made sure [06965] unto Abraham [085] for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] by the sons [01121] of Heth [02845]. 1 24 1 And Abraham [085] was old [02204], and well stricken [0935] in age [03117]: and the LORD [03068] had blessed [01288] Abraham [085] in all things. 1 24 2 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto his eldest [02205] servant [05650] of his house [01004], that ruled over [04910] all that he had, Put [07760], I pray thee, thy hand [03027] under my thigh [03409]: 1 24 3 And I will make thee swear [07650] by the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of heaven [08064], and the God [0430] of the earth [0776], that thou shalt not take [03947] a wife [0802] unto my son [01121] of the daughters [01323] of the Canaanites [03669], among [07130] whom I dwell [03427]: 1 24 4 But thou shalt go [03212] unto my country [0776], and to my kindred [04138], and take [03947] a wife [0802] unto my son [01121] Isaac [03327]. 1 24 5 And the servant [05650] said [0559] unto him, Peradventure the woman [0802] will not be willing [014] to follow [03212] me [0310] unto this land [0776]: must I needs bring [07725] thy son [01121] again [07725] unto the land [0776] from whence thou camest [03318]? 1 24 6 And Abraham [085] said [0559] unto him, Beware [08104] thou that thou bring [07725] not [06435] my son [01121] thither again [07725]. 1 24 7 The LORD [03068] God [0430] of heaven [08064], which took me [03947] from my father's [01] house [01004], and from the land [0776] of my kindred [04138], and which spake [01696] unto me, and that sware [07650] unto me, saying [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] will I give [05414] this land [0776]; he shall send [07971] his angel [04397] before thee [06440], and thou shalt take [03947] a wife [0802] unto my son [01121] from thence. 1 24 8 And if the woman [0802] will not be willing [014] to follow [03212] thee [0310], then thou shalt be clear [05352] from this my oath [07621]: only bring [07725] not my son [01121] thither again [07725]. 1 24 9 And the servant [05650] put [07760] his hand [03027] under the thigh [03409] of Abraham [085] his master [0113], and sware [07650] to him concerning [05921] that [02088] matter [01697]. 1 24 10 And the servant [05650] took [03947] ten [06235] camels [01581] of the camels [01581] of his master [0113], and departed [03212]; for all the goods [02898] of his master [0113] were in his hand [03027]: and he arose [06965], and went [03212] to Mesopotamia [0763], unto the city [05892] of Nahor [05152]. 1 24 11 And he made [01288] his camels [01581] to kneel down [01288] without [02351] the city [05892] by [0413] a well [0875] of water [04325] at the time [06256] of the evening [06153], even the time [06256] that women go out [03318] to draw [07579] water. 1 24 12 And he said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of my master [0113] Abraham [085], I pray thee, send me [06440] good speed [07136] this day [03117], and shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto [05973] my master [0113] Abraham [085]. 1 24 13 Behold, I stand [05324] here by the well [05869] of water [04325]; and the daughters [01323] of the men [0582] of the city [05892] come out [03318] to draw [07579] water [04325]: 1 24 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel [05291] to whom I shall say [0559], Let down [05186] thy pitcher [03537], I pray thee, that I may drink [08354]; and she shall say [0559], Drink [08354], and I will give [08248] thy camels [01581] drink [08248] also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed [03198] for thy servant [05650] Isaac [03327]; and thereby shall I know [03045] that thou hast shewed [06213] kindness [02617] unto my master [0113]. 1 24 15 And it came to pass, before he had done [03615] speaking [01696], that, behold, Rebekah [07259] came out [03318], who [0834] was born [03205] to Bethuel [01328], son [01121] of Milcah [04435], the wife [0802] of Nahor [05152], Abraham's [085] brother [0251], with her pitcher [03537] upon her shoulder [07926]. 1 24 16 And the damsel [05291] was very [03966] fair [02896] to look upon [04758], a virgin [01330], neither had any man [0376] known [03045] her: and she went down [03381] to the well [05869], and filled [04390] her pitcher [03537], and came up [05927]. 1 24 17 And the servant [05650] ran [07323] to meet her [07125], and said [0559], Let me, I pray thee, drink [01572] a little [04592] water [04325] of thy pitcher [03537]. 1 24 18 And she said [0559], Drink [08354], my lord [0113]: and she hasted [04116], and let down [03381] her pitcher [03537] upon her hand [03027], and gave him drink [08248]. 1 24 19 And when she had done [03615] giving him drink [08248], she said [0559], I will draw [07579] water for thy camels [01581] also, until they have done [03615] drinking [08354]. 1 24 20 And she hasted [04116], and emptied [06168] her pitcher [03537] into the trough [08268], and ran [07323] again unto the well [0875] to draw [07579] water, and drew [07579] for all his camels [01581]. 1 24 21 And the man [0376] wondering [07583] at her held his peace [02790], to wit [03045] whether the LORD [03068] had made [06743] his journey [01870] prosperous [06743] or [0518] not. 1 24 22 And it came to pass, as the camels [01581] had done [03615] drinking [08354], that the man [0376] took [03947] a golden [02091] earring [05141] of half a shekel [01235] weight [04948], and two [08147] bracelets [06781] for her hands [03027] of ten [06235] shekels weight [04948] of gold [02091]; 1 24 23 And said [0559], Whose [04310] daughter [01323] art thou [0859]? tell [05046] me, I pray thee: is there [03426] room [04725] in thy father's [01] house [01004] for us to lodge in [03885]? 1 24 24 And she said [0559] unto him, I am the daughter [01323] of Bethuel [01328] the son [01121] of Milcah [04435], which she bare [03205] unto Nahor [05152]. 1 24 25 She said [0559] moreover unto him, We have both [01571] straw [08401] and provender [04554] enough [07227], and [01571] room [04725] to lodge in [03885]. 1 24 26 And the man [0376] bowed down his head [06915], and worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068]. 1 24 27 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of my master [0113] Abraham [085], who hath not left destitute [05800] [05973] my master [0113] of his mercy [02617] and his truth [0571]: I being in the way [01870], the LORD [03068] led me [05148] to the house [01004] of my master's [0113] brethren [0251]. 1 24 28 And the damsel [05291] ran [07323], and told [05046] them of her mother's [0517] house [01004] these things [01697]. 1 24 29 And Rebekah [07259] had a brother [0251], and his name [08034] was Laban [03837]: and Laban [03837] ran [07323] out [02351] unto the man [0376], unto the well [05869]. 1 24 30 And it came to pass, when he saw [07200] the earring [05141] and bracelets [06781] upon his sister's [0269] hands [03027], and when he heard [08085] the words [01697] of Rebekah [07259] his sister [0269], saying [0559], Thus [03541] spake [01696] the man [0376] unto me; that he came [0935] unto the man [0376]; and, behold, he stood [05975] by [05921] the camels [01581] at the well [05869]. 1 24 31 And he said [0559], Come in [0935], thou blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068]; wherefore standest [05975] thou without [02351]? for I have prepared [06437] the house [01004], and room [04725] for the camels [01581]. 1 24 32 And the man [0376] came [0935] into the house [01004]: and he ungirded [06605] his camels [01581], and gave [05414] straw [08401] and provender [04554] for the camels [01581], and water [04325] to wash [07364] his feet [07272], and the men's [0582] feet [07272] that were with him. 1 24 33 And there was set [07760] [03455] meat before him [06440] to eat [0398]: but he said [0559], I will not eat [0398], until I have told [01696] mine errand [01697]. And he said [0559], Speak on [01696]. 1 24 34 And he said [0559], I am Abraham's [085] servant [05650]. 1 24 35 And the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] my master [0113] greatly [03966]; and he is become great [01431]: and he hath given [05414] him flocks [06629], and herds [01241], and silver [03701], and gold [02091], and menservants [05650], and maidservants [08198], and camels [01581], and asses [02543]. 1 24 36 And Sarah [08283] my master's [0113] wife [0802] bare [03205] a son [01121] to my master [0113] when [0310] she was old [02209]: and unto him hath he given [05414] all that he hath. 1 24 37 And my master [0113] made me swear [07650], saying [0559], Thou shalt not take [03947] a wife [0802] to my son [01121] of the daughters [01323] of the Canaanites [03669], in whose land [0776] I dwell [03427]: 1 24 38 But [0518] thou shalt go [03212] unto my father's [01] house [01004], and to my kindred [04940], and take [03947] a wife [0802] unto my son [01121]. 1 24 39 And I said [0559] unto my master [0113], Peradventure the woman [0802] will not follow [03212] [0310] me. 1 24 40 And he said [0559] unto me, The LORD [03068], before [06440] whom I walk [01980], will send [07971] his angel [04397] with thee, and prosper [06743] thy way [01870]; and thou shalt take [03947] a wife [0802] for my son [01121] of my kindred [04940], and of my father's [01] house [01004]: 1 24 41 Then shalt thou be clear [05352] from this my oath [0423], when thou comest [0935] to my kindred [04940]; and if they give [05414] not thee one, thou shalt be clear [05355] from my oath [0423]. 1 24 42 And I came [0935] this day [03117] unto the well [05869], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of my master [0113] Abraham [085], if now thou do [03426] prosper [06743] my way [01870] which I go [01980]: 1 24 43 Behold, I stand [05324] by the well [05869] of water [04325]; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin [05959] cometh forth [03318] to draw [07579] water, and I say [0559] to her, Give me [08248], I pray thee, a little [04592] water [04325] of thy pitcher [03537] to drink [08248]; 1 24 44 And she say [0559] to me, Both drink [08354] thou, and I will also draw [07579] for thy camels [01581]: let the same be the woman [0802] whom the LORD [03068] hath appointed out [03198] for my master's [0113] son [01121]. 1 24 45 And before I had done [03615] speaking [01696] in mine heart [03820], behold, Rebekah [07259] came forth [03318] with her pitcher [03537] on her shoulder [07926]; and she went down [03381] unto the well [05869], and drew [07579] water: and I said [0559] unto her, Let me drink [08248], I pray thee. 1 24 46 And she made haste [04116], and let down [03381] her pitcher [03537] from her shoulder, and said [0559], Drink [08354], and I will give [08248] thy camels [01581] drink [08248] also: so I drank [08354], and she made [08248] the camels [01581] drink [08248] also. 1 24 47 And I asked [07592] her, and said [0559], Whose daughter [01323] art thou? And she said [0559], The daughter [01323] of Bethuel [01328], Nahor's [05152] son [01121], whom Milcah [04435] bare [03205] unto him: and I put [07760] the earring [05141] upon her face [0639], and the bracelets [06781] upon her hands [03027]. 1 24 48 And I bowed down my head [06915], and worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068], and blessed [01288] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of my master [0113] Abraham [085], which had led me [05148] in the right [0571] way [01870] to take [03947] my master's [0113] brother's [0251] daughter [01323] unto his son [01121]. 1 24 49 And now if ye will [03426] deal [06213] kindly [02617] and truly [0571] with my master [0113], tell [05046] me: and if not, tell [05046] me; that I may turn [06437] to the right hand [03225], or [0176] to the left [08040]. 1 24 50 Then Laban [03837] and Bethuel [01328] answered [06030] and said [0559], The thing [01697] proceedeth [03318] from the LORD [03068]: we cannot [03201] speak [01696] unto thee bad [07451] or [0176] good [02896]. 1 24 51 Behold, Rebekah [07259] is before thee [06440], take [03947] her, and go [03212], and let her be thy master's [0113] son's [01121] wife [0802], as the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696]. 1 24 52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's [085] servant [05650] heard [08085] their words [01697], he worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068], bowing himself to the earth [0776]. 1 24 53 And the servant [05650] brought forth [03318] jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091], and raiment [0899], and gave [05414] them to Rebekah [07259]: he gave [05414] also to her brother [0251] and to her mother [0517] precious things [04030]. 1 24 54 And they did eat [0398] and drink [08354], he and the men [0582] that were with him, and tarried all night [03885]; and they rose up [06965] in the morning [01242], and he said [0559], Send me away [07971] unto my master [0113]. 1 24 55 And her brother [0251] and her mother [0517] said [0559], Let the damsel [05291] abide [03427] with us a few days [03117], at the least [0176] ten [06218]; after [0310] that she shall go [03212]. 1 24 56 And he said [0559] unto them, Hinder me [0309] not, seeing the LORD [03068] hath prospered [06743] my way [01870]; send me away [07971] that I may go [03212] to my master [0113]. 1 24 57 And they said [0559], We will call [07121] the damsel [05291], and enquire [07592] at her mouth [06310]. 1 24 58 And they called [07121] Rebekah [07259], and said [0559] unto her, Wilt thou go [03212] with this man [0376]? And she said [0559], I will go [03212]. 1 24 59 And they sent away [07971] Rebekah [07259] their sister [0269], and her nurse [03243], and Abraham's [085] servant [05650], and his men [0582]. 1 24 60 And they blessed [01288] Rebekah [07259], and said [0559] unto her, Thou [0859] art our sister [0269], be thou [01961] the mother of thousands [0505] of millions [07233], and let thy seed [02233] possess [03423] the gate [08179] of those which hate [08130] them. 1 24 61 And Rebekah [07259] arose [06965], and her damsels [05291], and they rode [07392] upon the camels [01581], and followed [03212] [0310] the man [0376]: and the servant [05650] took [03947] Rebekah [07259], and went his way [03212]. 1 24 62 And Isaac [03327] came [0935] from the way [0935] of the well Lahairoi [0883]; for he dwelt [03427] in the south [05045] country [0776]. 1 24 63 And Isaac [03327] went out [03318] to meditate [07742] in the field [07704] at [06437] the eventide [06153]: and he lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200], and, behold, the camels [01581] were coming [0935]. 1 24 64 And Rebekah [07259] lifted up [05375] her eyes [05869], and when she saw [07200] Isaac [03327], she lighted [05307] off [05921] the camel [01581]. 1 24 65 For she had said [0559] unto the servant [05650], What [04310] man [0376] is this [01976] that walketh [01980] in the field [07704] to meet us [07125]? And the servant [05650] had said [0559], It is my master [0113]: therefore she took [03947] a vail [06809], and covered herself [03680]. 1 24 66 And the servant [05650] told [05608] Isaac [03327] all things [01697] that he had done [06213]. 1 24 67 And Isaac [03327] brought her [0935] into his mother [0517] Sarah's [08283] tent [0168], and took [03947] Rebekah [07259], and she became his wife [0802]; and he loved [0157] her: and Isaac [03327] was comforted [05162] after [0310] his mother's [0517] death. 1 25 1 Then again [03254] Abraham [085] took [03947] a wife [0802], and her name [08034] was Keturah [06989]. 1 25 2 And she bare [03205] him Zimran [02175], and Jokshan [03370], and Medan [04091], and Midian [04080], and Ishbak [03435], and Shuah [07744]. 1 25 3 And Jokshan [03370] begat [03205] Sheba [07614], and Dedan [01719]. And the sons [01121] of Dedan [01719] were Asshurim [0805], and Letushim [03912], and Leummim [03817]. 1 25 4 And the sons [01121] of Midian [04080]; Ephah [05891], and Epher [06081], and Hanoch [02585], and Abida [028], and Eldaah [0420]. All these were the children [01121] of Keturah [06989]. 1 25 5 And Abraham [085] gave [05414] all that he had unto Isaac [03327]. 1 25 6 But unto the sons [01121] of the concubines [06370], which Abraham [085] had, Abraham [085] gave [05414] gifts [04979], and sent them away [07971] from Isaac [03327] his son [01121], while he yet lived [02416], eastward [06924], unto the east [06924] country [0776]. 1 25 7 And these are the days [03117] of the years [08141] of Abraham's [085] life [02416] which he lived [02425], an hundred [03967] [08141] threescore and fifteen [07657] [08141] [02568] years [08141]. 1 25 8 Then Abraham [085] gave up the ghost [01478], and died [04191] in a good [02896] old age [07872], an old man [02205], and full [07649] of years; and was gathered [0622] to his people [05971]. 1 25 9 And his sons [01121] Isaac [03327] and Ishmael [03458] buried [06912] him in the cave [04631] of Machpelah [04375], in the field [07704] of Ephron [06085] the son [01121] of Zohar [06714] the Hittite [02850], which is before [06440] Mamre [04471]; 1 25 10 The field [07704] which Abraham [085] purchased [07069] of the sons [01121] of Heth [02845]: there was Abraham [085] buried [06912], and Sarah [08283] his wife [0802]. 1 25 11 And it came to pass after [0310] the death [04194] of Abraham [085], that God [0430] blessed [01288] his son [01121] Isaac [03327]; and Isaac [03327] dwelt [03427] by [05973] the well Lahairoi [0883]. 1 25 12 Now these are the generations [08435] of Ishmael [03458], Abraham's [085] son [01121], whom Hagar [01904] the Egyptian [04713], Sarah's [08283] handmaid [08198], bare [03205] unto Abraham [085]: 1 25 13 And these are the names [08034] of the sons [01121] of Ishmael [03458], by their names [08034], according to their generations [08435]: the firstborn [01060] of Ishmael [03458], Nebajoth [05032]; and Kedar [06938], and Adbeel [0110], and Mibsam [04017], 1 25 14 And Mishma [04927], and Dumah [01746], and Massa [04854], 1 25 15 Hadar [02316], and Tema [08485], Jetur [03195], Naphish [05305], and Kedemah [06929]: 1 25 16 These are the sons [01121] of Ishmael [03458], and these are their names [08034], by their towns [02691], and by their castles [02918]; twelve [08147] [06240] princes [05387] according to their nations [0523]. 1 25 17 And these are the years [08141] of the life [02416] of Ishmael [03458], an hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] [08141] and seven [07651] years [08141]: and he gave up the ghost [01478] and died [04191]; and was gathered [0622] unto his people [05971]. 1 25 18 And they dwelt [07931] from Havilah [02341] unto Shur [07793], that is before [06440] Egypt [04714], as thou goest [0935] toward Assyria [0804]: and he died [05307] in the presence [06440] of all his brethren [0251]. 1 25 19 And these are the generations [08435] of Isaac [03327], Abraham's [085] son [01121]: Abraham [085] begat [03205] Isaac [03327]: 1 25 20 And Isaac [03327] was forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] when he took [03947] Rebekah [07259] to wife [0802], the daughter [01323] of Bethuel [01328] the Syrian [0761] of Padanaram [06307], the sister [0269] to Laban [03837] the Syrian [0761]. 1 25 21 And Isaac [03327] intreated [06279] the LORD [03068] for [05227] his wife [0802], because she was barren [06135]: and the LORD [03068] was intreated [06279] of him, and Rebekah [07259] his wife [0802] conceived [02029]. 1 25 22 And the children [01121] struggled together [07533] within her [07130]; and she said [0559], If it be so, why am I thus [02088]? And she went [03212] to enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068]. 1 25 23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Two [08147] nations [01471] are in thy womb [0990], and two manner [08147] of people [03816] shall be separated [06504] from thy bowels [04578]; and the one people [03816] shall be stronger [0553] than the other people [03816]; and the elder [07227] shall serve [05647] the younger [06810]. 1 25 24 And when her days [03117] to be delivered [03205] were fulfilled [04390], behold, there were twins [08380] in her womb [0990]. 1 25 25 And the first [07223] came out [03318] red [0132], all over like an hairy [08181] garment [0155]; and they called [07121] his name [08034] Esau [06215]. 1 25 26 And after [0310] that came [03318] his brother [0251] out [03318], and his hand [03027] took hold [0270] on Esau's [06215] heel [06119]; and his name [08034] was called [07121] Jacob [03290]: and Isaac [03327] was threescore [08346] years [08141] old [01121] when she bare [03205] them. 1 25 27 And the boys [05288] grew [01431]: and Esau [06215] was a cunning [03045] hunter [06718], a man [0376] of the field [07704]; and Jacob [03290] was a plain [08535] man [0376], dwelling [03427] in tents [0168]. 1 25 28 And Isaac [03327] loved [0157] Esau [06215], because he did eat [06310] of his venison [06718]: but Rebekah [07259] loved [0157] Jacob [03290]. 1 25 29 And Jacob [03290] sod [02102] pottage [05138]: and Esau [06215] came [0935] from the field [07704], and he was faint [05889]: 1 25 30 And Esau [06215] said [0559] to Jacob [03290], Feed [03938] me, I pray thee, with [04480] that same [0122] red [0122] pottage; for I am faint [05889]: therefore was his name [08034] called [07121] Edom [0123]. 1 25 31 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Sell [04376] me this day [03117] thy birthright [01062]. 1 25 32 And Esau [06215] said [0559], Behold, I am at the point [01980] to die [04191]: and what profit shall this birthright [01062] do to me? 1 25 33 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Swear [07650] to me this day [03117]; and he sware [07650] unto him: and he sold [04376] his birthright [01062] unto Jacob [03290]. 1 25 34 Then Jacob [03290] gave [05414] Esau [06215] bread [03899] and pottage [05138] of lentiles [05742]; and he did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and rose up [06965], and went his way [03212]: thus Esau [06215] despised [0959] his birthright [01062]. 1 26 1 And there was a famine [07458] in the land [0776], beside [0905] the first [07223] famine [07458] that was in the days [03117] of Abraham [085]. And Isaac [03327] went [03212] unto Abimelech [040] king [04428] of the Philistines [06430] unto Gerar [01642]. 1 26 2 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him, and said [0559], Go not down [03381] into Egypt [04714]; dwell [07931] in the land [0776] which I shall tell [0559] thee of: 1 26 3 Sojourn [01481] in this land [0776], and I will be with thee, and will bless [01288] thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed [02233], I will give [05414] all these [0411] countries [0776], and I will perform [06965] the oath [07621] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085] thy father [01]; 1 26 4 And I will make [07235] thy seed [02233] to multiply [07235] as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064], and will give [05414] unto thy seed [02233] all these [0411] countries [0776]; and in thy seed [02233] shall all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] be blessed [01288]; 1 26 5 Because [06118] that Abraham [085] obeyed [08085] my voice [06963], and kept [08104] my charge [04931], my commandments [04687], my statutes [02708], and my laws [08451]. 1 26 6 And Isaac [03327] dwelt [03427] in Gerar [01642]: 1 26 7 And the men [0582] of the place [04725] asked [07592] him of his wife [0802]; and he said [0559], She is my sister [0269]: for he feared [03372] to say [0559], She is my wife [0802]; lest, said he, the men [0582] of the place [04725] should kill [02026] me for Rebekah [07259]; because she was fair [02896] to look upon [04758]. 1 26 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long [0748] time [03117], that Abimelech [040] king [04428] of the Philistines [06430] looked out [08259] at [01157] a window [02474], and saw [07200], and, behold, Isaac [03327] was sporting [06711] with Rebekah [07259] his wife [0802]. 1 26 9 And Abimelech [040] called [07121] Isaac [03327], and said [0559], Behold, of a surety [0389] she is thy wife [0802]: and how saidst [0559] thou, She is my sister [0269]? And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto him, Because I said [0559], Lest I die [04191] for her. 1 26 10 And Abimelech [040] said [0559], What is this thou hast done [06213] unto us? one [0259] of the people [05971] might lightly [04592] have lien [07901] with thy wife [0802], and thou shouldest have brought [0935] guiltiness [0817] upon us. 1 26 11 And Abimelech [040] charged [06680] all his people [05971], saying [0559], He that toucheth [05060] this man [0376] or his wife [0802] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 1 26 12 Then Isaac [03327] sowed [02232] in that land [0776], and received [04672] in the same year [08141] an hundredfold [03967] [08180]: and the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] him. 1 26 13 And the man [0376] waxed great [01431], and went [03212] forward [01980], and grew [01432] until he became [01431] very [03966] great [01431]: 1 26 14 For he had possession [04735] of flocks [06629], and possession [04735] of herds [01241], and great store [07227] of servants [05657]: and the Philistines [06430] envied [07065] him. 1 26 15 For all the wells [0875] which his father's [01] servants [05650] had digged [02658] in the days [03117] of Abraham [085] his father [01], the Philistines [06430] had stopped [05640] them, and filled [04390] them with earth [06083]. 1 26 16 And Abimelech [040] said [0559] unto Isaac [03327], Go [03212] from us; for thou art much [03966] mightier [06105] than we. 1 26 17 And Isaac [03327] departed [03212] thence, and pitched his tent [02583] in the valley [05158] of Gerar [01642], and dwelt [03427] there [08033]. 1 26 18 And Isaac [03327] digged [02658] again [07725] the wells [0875] of water [04325], which they had digged [02658] in the days [03117] of Abraham [085] his father [01]; for the Philistines [06430] had stopped [05640] them after [0310] the death [04194] of Abraham [085]: and he called [07121] their names [08034] after the names [08034] by which [0834] his father [01] had called [07121] them. 1 26 19 And Isaac's [03327] servants [05650] digged [02658] in the valley [05158], and found [04672] there a well [0875] of springing [02416] water [04325]. 1 26 20 And the herdmen [07462] of Gerar [01642] did strive [07378] with Isaac's [03327] herdmen [07462], saying [0559], The water [04325] is ours: and he called [07121] the name [08034] of the well [0875] Esek [06230]; because they strove [06229] with him. 1 26 21 And they digged [02658] another [0312] well [0875], and strove [07378] for that also: and he called [07121] the name of it [08034] Sitnah [07856]. 1 26 22 And he removed [06275] from thence, and digged [02658] another [0312] well [0875]; and for that they strove [07378] not: and he called [07121] the name of it [08034] Rehoboth [07344]; and he said [0559], For now [06258] the LORD [03068] hath made room [07337] for us, and we shall be fruitful [06509] in the land [0776]. 1 26 23 And he went up [05927] from thence to Beersheba [0884]. 1 26 24 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him the same night [03915], and said [0559], I am the God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01]: fear [03372] not, for I am with [0854] thee, and will bless [01288] thee, and multiply [07235] thy seed [02233] for my servant [05650] Abraham's [085] sake. 1 26 25 And he builded [01129] an altar [04196] there, and called [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and pitched [05186] his tent [0168] there: and there Isaac's [03327] servants [05650] digged [03738] a well [0875]. 1 26 26 Then Abimelech [040] went [01980] to him from Gerar [01642], and Ahuzzath [0276] one of his friends [04828], and Phichol [06369] the chief captain [08269] of his army [06635]. 1 26 27 And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto them, Wherefore [04069] come [0935] ye to me, seeing ye hate [08130] me, and have sent me away [07971] from you? 1 26 28 And they said [0559], We saw [07200] certainly [07200] that the LORD [03068] was with thee: and we said [0559], Let there be now an oath [0423] betwixt [0996] us, even betwixt [0996] us and thee, and let us make [03772] a covenant [01285] with thee; 1 26 29 That thou wilt do [06213] us no hurt [07451], as we have not touched [05060] thee, and as we have done [06213] unto thee nothing but [07535] good [02896], and have sent thee away [07971] in peace [07965]: thou art now [06258] the blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068]. 1 26 30 And he made [06213] them a feast [04960], and they did eat [0398] and drink [08354]. 1 26 31 And they rose up betimes [07925] in the morning [01242], and sware [07650] one [0376] to another [0251]: and Isaac [03327] sent them away [07971], and they departed [03212] from him in peace [07965]. 1 26 32 And it came to pass the same day [03117], that Isaac's [03327] servants [05650] came [0935], and told [05046] him concerning [0182] the well [0875] which they had digged [02658], and said [0559] unto him, We have found [04672] water [04325]. 1 26 33 And he called [07121] it Shebah [07656]: therefore the name [08034] of the city [05892] is Beersheba [0884] unto this day [03117]. 1 26 34 And Esau [06215] was forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] when he took [03947] to wife [0802] Judith [03067] the daughter [01323] of Beeri [0882] the Hittite [02850], and Bashemath [01315] the daughter [01323] of Elon [0356] the Hittite [02850]: 1 26 35 Which were a grief [04786] of mind [07307] unto Isaac [03327] and to Rebekah [07259]. 1 27 1 And it came to pass [01961], that when Isaac [03327] was old [02204], and his eyes [05869] were dim [03543], so that he could not see [07200], he called [07121] Esau [06215] his eldest [01419] son [01121], and said [0559] unto him, My son [01121]: and he said [0559] unto him, Behold, here am I. 1 27 2 And he said [0559], Behold now, I am old [02204], I know [03045] not the day [03117] of my death [04194]: 1 27 3 Now therefore take [05375], I pray thee, thy weapons [03627], thy quiver [08522] and thy bow [07198], and go out [03318] to the field [07704], and take [06679] me some venison [06718] [06720]; 1 27 4 And make [06213] me savoury meat [04303], such as [0834] I love [0157], and bring [0935] it to me, that I may eat [0398]; that my soul [05315] may bless [01288] thee before [02962] I die [04191]. 1 27 5 And Rebekah [07259] heard [08085] when Isaac [03327] spake [01696] to Esau [06215] his son [01121]. And Esau [06215] went [03212] to the field [07704] to hunt [06679] for venison [06718], and to bring [0935] it. 1 27 6 And Rebekah [07259] spake [0559] unto Jacob [03290] her son [01121], saying [0559], Behold, I heard [08085] thy father [01] speak [01696] unto Esau [06215] thy brother [0251], saying [0559], 1 27 7 Bring [0935] me venison [06718], and make [06213] me savoury meat [04303], that I may eat [0398], and bless [01288] thee before [06440] the LORD [03068] before [06440] my death [04194]. 1 27 8 Now therefore, my son [01121], obey [08085] my voice [06963] according to that which [0834] I command [06680] thee. 1 27 9 Go [03212] now to the flock [06629], and fetch [03947] me from thence two [08147] good [02896] kids [01423] of the goats [05795]; and I will make [06213] them savoury meat [04303] for thy father [01], such as he loveth [0157]: 1 27 10 And thou shalt bring [0935] it to thy father [01], that he may eat [0398], and that [0834] he may bless [01288] thee before [06440] his death [04194]. 1 27 11 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] to Rebekah [07259] his mother [0517], Behold, Esau [06215] my brother [0251] is a hairy [08163] man [0376], and I am a smooth [02509] man [0376]: 1 27 12 My father [01] peradventure will feel [04959] me, and I shall seem [05869] to him as a deceiver [08591]; and I shall bring [0935] a curse [07045] upon me, and not a blessing [01293]. 1 27 13 And his mother [0517] said [0559] unto him, Upon me be thy curse [07045], my son [01121]: only obey [08085] my voice [06963], and go [03212] fetch [03947] me them. 1 27 14 And he went [03212], and fetched [03947], and brought [0935] them to his mother [0517]: and his mother [0517] made [06213] savoury meat [04303], such as his father [01] loved [0157]. 1 27 15 And Rebekah [07259] took [03947] goodly [02532] raiment [0899] of her eldest [01419] son [01121] Esau [06215], which were with her in the house [01004], and put them upon [03847] Jacob [03290] her younger [06996] son [01121]: 1 27 16 And she put [03847] the skins [05785] of the kids [01423] of the goats [05795] upon his hands [03027], and upon the smooth [02513] of his neck [06677]: 1 27 17 And she gave [05414] the savoury meat [04303] and the bread [03899], which she had prepared [06213], into the hand [03027] of her son [01121] Jacob [03290]. 1 27 18 And he came [0935] unto his father [01], and said [0559], My father [01]: and he said [0559], Here am I; who art thou, my son [01121]? 1 27 19 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his father [01], I am Esau [06215] thy firstborn [01060]; I have done [06213] according as thou badest [01696] me: arise [06965], I pray thee, sit [03427] and eat [0398] of my venison [06718], that thy soul [05315] may bless [01288] me. 1 27 20 And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto his son [01121], How is it that thou hast found [04672] it so quickly [04116], my son [01121]? And he said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought [07136] it to me [06440]. 1 27 21 And Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Come near [05066], I pray thee, that I may feel [04184] thee, my son [01121], whether thou be my very [02088] son [01121] Esau [06215] or not. 1 27 22 And Jacob [03290] went near [05066] unto Isaac [03327] his father [01]; and he felt [04959] him, and said [0559], The voice [06963] is Jacob's [03290] voice [06963], but the hands [03027] are the hands [03027] of Esau [06215]. 1 27 23 And he discerned [05234] him not, because his hands [03027] were hairy [08163], as his brother [0251] Esau's [06215] hands [03027]: so he blessed [01288] him. 1 27 24 And he said [0559], Art thou my very son [01121] Esau [06215]? And he said [0559], I am. 1 27 25 And he said [0559], Bring it near [05066] to me, and I will eat [0398] of my son's [01121] venison [06718], that my soul [05315] may bless [01288] thee. And he brought it near [05066] to him, and he did eat [0398]: and he brought [0935] him wine [03196], and he drank [08354]. 1 27 26 And his father [01] Isaac [03327] said [0559] unto him, Come near [05066] now, and kiss [05401] me, my son [01121]. 1 27 27 And he came near [05066], and kissed [05401] him: and he smelled [07306] the smell [07381] of his raiment [0899], and blessed [01288] him, and said [0559], See [07200], the smell [07381] of my son [01121] is as the smell [07381] of a field [07704] which the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288]: 1 27 28 Therefore God [0430] give [05414] thee of the dew [02919] of heaven [08064], and the fatness [04924] of the earth [0776], and plenty [07230] of corn [01715] and wine [08492]: 1 27 29 Let people [05971] serve [05647] thee, and nations [03816] bow down [07812] to thee: be [01933] lord [01376] over thy brethren [0251], and let thy mother's [0517] sons [01121] bow down [07812] to thee: cursed [0779] be every one that curseth [0779] thee, and blessed [01288] be he that blesseth [01288] thee. 1 27 30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac [03327] had made an end [03615] of blessing [01288] Jacob [03290], and Jacob [03290] was yet [0389] scarce [03318] gone out [03318] from the presence [06440] of Isaac [03327] his father [01], that Esau [06215] his brother [0251] came in [0935] from his hunting [06718]. 1 27 31 And he also had made [06213] savoury meat [04303], and brought it [0935] unto his father [01], and said [0559] unto his father [01], Let my father [01] arise [06965], and eat [0398] of his son's [01121] venison [06718], that thy soul [05315] may bless [01288] me. 1 27 32 And Isaac [03327] his father [01] said [0559] unto him, Who art thou? And he said [0559], I am thy son [01121], thy firstborn [01060] Esau [06215]. 1 27 33 And Isaac [03327] trembled [02729] very [01419] exceedingly [03966] [02731], and said [0559], Who? where [0645] is he that hath taken [06679] venison [06718], and brought [0935] it me, and I have eaten [0398] of all before thou camest [0935], and have blessed [01288] him? yea, and he shall be blessed [01288]. 1 27 34 And when Esau [06215] heard [08085] the words [01697] of his father [01], he cried [06817] with a great [01419] and exceeding [03966] bitter [04751] cry [06818], and said [0559] unto his father [01], Bless [01288] me, even me also, O my father [01]. 1 27 35 And he said [0559], Thy brother [0251] came [0935] with subtilty [04820], and hath taken away [03947] thy blessing [01293]. 1 27 36 And he said [0559], Is not he rightly [03588] named [07121] [08034] Jacob [03290]? for he hath supplanted me [06117] these [02088] two times [06471]: he took away [03947] my birthright [01062]; and, behold, now he hath taken away [03947] my blessing [01293]. And he said [0559], Hast thou not reserved [0680] a blessing [01293] for me? 1 27 37 And Isaac [03327] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Esau [06215], Behold, I have made [07760] him thy lord [01376], and all his brethren [0251] have I given [05414] to him for servants [05650]; and with corn [01715] and wine [08492] have I sustained [05564] him: and what shall I do [06213] now [0645] unto thee, my son [01121]? 1 27 38 And Esau [06215] said [0559] unto his father [01], Hast thou but one [0259] blessing [01293], my father [01]? bless [01288] me, even me also, O my father [01]. And Esau [06215] lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 1 27 39 And Isaac [03327] his father [01] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto him, Behold, thy dwelling [04186] shall be the fatness [04924] of the earth [0776], and of the dew [02919] of heaven [08064] from above [05920]; 1 27 40 And by thy sword [02719] shalt thou live [02421], and shalt serve [05647] thy brother [0251]; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion [07300], that thou shalt break [06561] his yoke [05923] from off thy neck [06677]. 1 27 41 And Esau [06215] hated [07852] Jacob [03290] because [05921] of the blessing [01293] wherewith [0834] his father [01] blessed him [01288]: and Esau [06215] said [0559] in his heart [03820], The days [03117] of mourning [060] for my father [01] are at hand [07126]; then will I slay [02026] my brother [0251] Jacob [03290]. 1 27 42 And these words [01697] of Esau [06215] her elder [01419] son [01121] were told [05046] to Rebekah [07259]: and she sent [07971] and called [07121] Jacob [03290] her younger [06996] son [01121], and said [0559] unto him, Behold, thy brother [0251] Esau [06215], as touching thee, doth comfort [05162] himself, purposing to kill [02026] thee. 1 27 43 Now therefore, my son [01121], obey [08085] my voice [06963]; and arise [06965], flee [01272] thou to Laban [03837] my brother [0251] to Haran [02771]; 1 27 44 And tarry [03427] with him a few [0259] days [03117], until [0834] thy brother's [0251] fury [02534] turn away [07725]; 1 27 45 Until thy brother's [0251] anger [0639] turn away [07725] from thee, and he forget [07911] that which thou hast done [06213] to him: then I will send [07971], and fetch [03947] thee from thence: why [04100] should I be deprived [07921] also of you both [08147] in one [0259] day [03117]? 1 27 46 And Rebekah [07259] said [0559] to Isaac [03327], I am weary [06973] of my life [02416] because [06440] of the daughters [01323] of Heth [02845]: if Jacob [03290] take [03947] a wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Heth [02845], such as these which are of the daughters [01323] of the land [0776], what good [04100] shall my life [02416] do me? 1 28 1 And Isaac [03327] called [07121] Jacob [03290], and blessed [01288] him, and charged [06680] him, and said [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not take [03947] a wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667]. 1 28 2 Arise [06965], go [03212] to Padanaram [06307], to the house [01004] of Bethuel [01328] thy mother's [0517] father [01]; and take [03947] thee a wife [0802] from thence of the daughters [01323] of Laban [03837] thy mother's [0517] brother [0251]. 1 28 3 And God [0410] Almighty [07706] bless [01288] thee, and make thee fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] thee, that thou mayest be a multitude [06951] of people [05971]; 1 28 4 And give [05414] thee the blessing [01293] of Abraham [085], to thee, and to thy seed [02233] with thee; that thou mayest inherit [03423] the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], which God [0430] gave [05414] unto Abraham [085]. 1 28 5 And Isaac [03327] sent away [07971] Jacob [03290]: and he went [03212] to Padanaram [06307] unto Laban [03837], son [01121] of Bethuel [01328] the Syrian [0761], the brother [0251] of Rebekah [07259], Jacob's [03290] and Esau's [06215] mother [0517]. 1 28 6 When Esau [06215] saw [07200] that Isaac [03327] had blessed [01288] Jacob [03290], and sent him away [07971] to Padanaram [06307], to take [03947] him a wife [0802] from thence; and that as he blessed [01288] him he gave him a charge [06680], saying [0559], Thou shalt not take [03947] a wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667]; 1 28 7 And that Jacob [03290] obeyed [08085] his father [01] and his mother [0517], and was gone [03212] to Padanaram [06307]; 1 28 8 And Esau [06215] seeing [07200] that the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667] pleased [05869] not [07451] Isaac [03327] his father [01]; 1 28 9 Then went [03212] Esau [06215] unto Ishmael [03458], and took [03947] unto the wives [0802] which he had Mahalath [04258] the daughter [01323] of Ishmael [03458] Abraham's [085] son [01121], the sister [0269] of Nebajoth [05032], to be his wife [0802]. 1 28 10 And Jacob [03290] went out [03318] from Beersheba [0884], and went [03212] toward Haran [02771]. 1 28 11 And he lighted [06293] upon a certain place [04725], and tarried there all night [03885], because the sun [08121] was set [0935]; and he took [03947] of the stones [068] of that place [04725], and put [07760] them for his pillows [04763], and lay down [07901] in that place [04725] to sleep [07901]. 1 28 12 And he dreamed [02492], and behold a ladder [05551] set up [05324] on the earth [0776], and the top of it [07218] reached [05060] to heaven [08064]: and behold the angels [04397] of God [0430] ascending [05927] and descending [03381] on it. 1 28 13 And, behold, the LORD [03068] stood [05324] above it, and said [0559], I am the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01], and the God [0430] of Isaac [03327]: the land [0776] whereon thou liest [07901], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233]; 1 28 14 And thy seed [02233] shall be as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and thou shalt spread abroad [06555] to the west [03220], and to the east [06924], and to the north [06828], and to the south [05045]: and in thee and in thy seed [02233] shall all the families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288]. 1 28 15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep [08104] thee in all places whither [0834] thou goest [03212], and will bring thee again [07725] into this land [0127]; for I will not leave [05800] thee, until [0834] I have done [06213] that which I have spoken [01696] to thee of. 1 28 16 And Jacob [03290] awaked [03364] out of his sleep [08142], and he said [0559], Surely [0403] the LORD [03068] is [03426] in this place [04725]; and I knew [03045] it not. 1 28 17 And he was afraid [03372], and said [0559], How dreadful [03372] is this place [04725]! this is none other but the house [01004] of God [0430], and this is the gate [08179] of heaven [08064]. 1 28 18 And Jacob [03290] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and took [03947] the stone [068] that he had put [07760] for his pillows [04763], and set it up [07760] for a pillar [04676], and poured [03332] oil [08081] upon the top of it [07218]. 1 28 19 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Bethel [01008]: but [0199] the name [08034] of that city [05892] was called Luz [03870] at the first [07223]. 1 28 20 And Jacob [03290] vowed [05087] a vow [05088], saying [0559], If God [0430] will be with me, and will keep me [08104] in this way [01870] that I go [01980], and will give [05414] me bread [03899] to eat [0398], and raiment [0899] to put on [03847], 1 28 21 So that I come again [07725] to my father's [01] house [01004] in peace [07965]; then shall the LORD [03068] be my God [0430]: 1 28 22 And this stone [068], which I have set [07760] for a pillar [04676], shall be God's [0430] house [01004]: and of all that thou shalt give [05414] me I will surely [06237] give the tenth [06237] unto thee. 1 29 1 Then Jacob [03290] went on [05375] his journey [07272], and came [03212] into the land [0776] of the people [01121] of the east [06924]. 1 29 2 And he looked [07200], and behold a well [0875] in the field [07704], and, lo, there were three [07969] flocks [05739] of sheep [06629] lying [07257] by it; for out of that well [0875] they watered [08248] the flocks [05739]: and a great [01419] stone [068] was upon the well's [0875] mouth [06310]. 1 29 3 And thither were all the flocks [05739] gathered [0622]: and they rolled [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310], and watered [08248] the sheep [06629], and put [07725] the stone [068] again [07725] upon the well's [0875] mouth [06310] in his place [04725]. 1 29 4 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto them, My brethren [0251], whence [0370] be ye? And they said [0559], Of Haran [02771] are we. 1 29 5 And he said [0559] unto them, Know [03045] ye Laban [03837] the son [01121] of Nahor [05152]? And they said [0559], We know [03045] him. 1 29 6 And he said [0559] unto them, Is he well [07965]? And they said [0559], He is well [07965]: and, behold, Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] cometh [0935] with the sheep [06629]. 1 29 7 And he said [0559], Lo [02005], it is yet high [01419] day [03117], neither is it time [06256] that the cattle [04735] should be gathered together [0622]: water [08248] ye the sheep [06629], and go [03212] and feed [07462] them. 1 29 8 And they said [0559], We cannot [03201], until all the flocks [05739] be gathered together [0622], and till they roll [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310]; then we water [08248] the sheep [06629]. 1 29 9 And while he yet [05750] spake [01696] with them, Rachel [07354] came [0935] with her father's [01] sheep [06629]: for she kept them [07462]. 1 29 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob [03290] saw [07200] Rachel [07354] the daughter [01323] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251], and the sheep [06629] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251], that Jacob [03290] went near [05066], and rolled [01556] the stone [068] from the well's [0875] mouth [06310], and watered [08248] the flock [06629] of Laban [03837] his mother's [0517] brother [0251]. 1 29 11 And Jacob [03290] kissed [05401] Rachel [07354], and lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 1 29 12 And Jacob [03290] told [05046] Rachel [07354] that he was her father's [01] brother [0251], and that he was Rebekah's [07259] son [01121]: and she ran [07323] and told [05046] her father [01]. 1 29 13 And it came to pass, when Laban [03837] heard [08085] the tidings [08088] of Jacob [03290] his sister's [0269] son [01121], that he ran [07323] to meet [07125] him, and embraced [02263] him, and kissed [05401] him, and brought [0935] him to his house [01004]. And he told [05608] Laban [03837] all these things [01697]. 1 29 14 And Laban [03837] said [0559] to him, Surely [0389] thou art my bone [06106] and my flesh [01320]. And he abode [03427] with him the space [03117] of a month [02320]. 1 29 15 And Laban [03837] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Because thou art my brother [0251], shouldest thou therefore serve [05647] me for nought [02600]? tell [05046] me, what shall thy wages [04909] be? 1 29 16 And Laban [03837] had two [08147] daughters [01323]: the name [08034] of the elder [01419] was Leah [03812], and the name [08034] of the younger [06996] was Rachel [07354]. 1 29 17 Leah [03812] was tender [07390] eyed [05869]; but Rachel [07354] was beautiful [03303] [08389] and well [03303] favoured [04758]. 1 29 18 And Jacob [03290] loved [0157] Rachel [07354]; and said [0559], I will serve [05647] thee seven [07651] years [08141] for Rachel [07354] thy younger [06996] daughter [01323]. 1 29 19 And Laban [03837] said [0559], It is better [02896] that I give [05414] her to thee, than that I should give [05414] her to another [0312] man [0376]: abide [03427] with me. 1 29 20 And Jacob [03290] served [05647] seven [07651] years [08141] for Rachel [07354]; and they seemed [05869] unto him but a few [0259] days [03117], for the love he had [0160] to her. 1 29 21 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Laban [03837], Give [03051] me my wife [0802], for my days [03117] are fulfilled [04390], that I may go in [0935] unto her. 1 29 22 And Laban [03837] gathered together [0622] all the men [0582] of the place [04725], and made [06213] a feast [04960]. 1 29 23 And it came to pass in the evening [06153], that he took [03947] Leah [03812] his daughter [01323], and brought [0935] her to him; and he went in [0935] unto her. 1 29 24 And Laban [03837] gave [05414] unto his daughter [01323] Leah [03812] Zilpah [02153] his maid [08198] for an handmaid [08198]. 1 29 25 And it came to pass, that in the morning [01242], behold, it was Leah [03812]: and he said [0559] to Laban [03837], What is this thou hast done [06213] unto me? did not I serve [05647] with thee for Rachel [07354]? wherefore then hast thou beguiled [07411] me? 1 29 26 And Laban [03837] said [0559], It must not be so done [06213] in our country [04725], to give [05414] the younger [06810] before [06440] the firstborn [01067]. 1 29 27 Fulfil [04390] her [02063] week [07620], and we will give [05414] thee this also for the service [05656] which thou shalt serve [05647] with me yet seven [07651] other [0312] years [08141]. 1 29 28 And Jacob [03290] did [06213] so, and fulfilled [04390] her week [07620]: and he gave [05414] him Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] to wife [0802] also. 1 29 29 And Laban [03837] gave [05414] to Rachel [07354] his daughter [01323] Bilhah [01090] his handmaid [08198] to be her maid [08198]. 1 29 30 And he went in [0935] also unto Rachel [07354], and he loved [0157] also Rachel [07354] more than Leah [03812], and served [05647] with him yet seven [07651] other [0312] years [08141]. 1 29 31 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that Leah [03812] was hated [08130], he opened [06605] her womb [07358]: but Rachel [07354] was barren [06135]. 1 29 32 And Leah [03812] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121], and she called [07121] his name [08034] Reuben [07205]: for [03588] she said [0559], Surely [03588] the LORD [03068] hath looked [07200] upon my affliction [06040]; now therefore [03588] my husband [0376] will love [0157] me. 1 29 33 And she conceived [02029] again, and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] that I was hated [08130], he hath therefore given [05414] me this son also: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Simeon [08095]. 1 29 34 And she conceived again [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and said [0559], Now this time [06471] will my husband [0376] be joined [03867] unto me, because I have born [03205] him three [07969] sons [01121]: therefore was his name [08034] called [07121] Levi [03878]. 1 29 35 And she conceived [02029] again, and bare [03205] a son [01121]: and she said [0559], Now [06471] will I praise [03034] the LORD [03068]: therefore she called [07121] his name [08034] Judah [03063]; and left [05975] bearing [03205]. 1 30 1 And when Rachel [07354] saw [07200] that she bare [03205] Jacob [03290] no children, Rachel [07354] envied [07065] her sister [0269]; and said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Give [03051] me children [01121], or else [0369] I die [04191]. 1 30 2 And Jacob's [03290] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Rachel [07354]: and he said [0559], Am I in God's [0430] stead, who hath withheld [04513] from thee the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990]? 1 30 3 And she said [0559], Behold my maid [0519] Bilhah [01090], go in [0935] unto her; and she shall bear [03205] upon my knees [01290], that I may also have children [01129] by her. 1 30 4 And she gave [05414] him Bilhah [01090] her handmaid [08198] to wife [0802]: and Jacob [03290] went in [0935] unto her. 1 30 5 And Bilhah [01090] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] Jacob [03290] a son [01121]. 1 30 6 And Rachel [07354] said [0559], God [0430] hath judged [01777] me, and hath also heard [08085] my voice [06963], and hath given [05414] me a son [01121]: therefore called [07121] she his name [08034] Dan [01835]. 1 30 7 And Bilhah [01090] Rachel's [07354] maid [08198] conceived [02029] again, and bare [03205] Jacob [03290] a second [08145] son [01121]. 1 30 8 And Rachel [07354] said [0559], With great [0430] wrestlings [05319] have I wrestled [06617] with my sister [0269], and I have prevailed [03201]: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Naphtali [05321]. 1 30 9 When Leah [03812] saw [07200] that she had left [05975] bearing [03205], she took [03947] Zilpah [02153] her maid [08198], and gave [05414] her Jacob [03290] to wife [0802]. 1 30 10 And Zilpah [02153] Leah's [03812] maid [08198] bare [03205] Jacob [03290] a son [01121]. 1 30 11 And Leah [03812] said [0559], A troop [01409] cometh [0935]: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Gad [01410]. 1 30 12 And Zilpah [02153] Leah's [03812] maid [08198] bare [03205] Jacob [03290] a second [08145] son [01121]. 1 30 13 And Leah [03812] said [0559], Happy am I [0837], for the daughters [01323] will call me blessed [0833]: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Asher [0836]. 1 30 14 And Reuben [07205] went in [03212] the days [03117] of wheat [02406] harvest [07105], and found [04672] mandrakes [01736] in the field [07704], and brought [0935] them unto his mother [0517] Leah [03812]. Then Rachel [07354] said [0559] to Leah [03812], Give me [05414], I pray thee, of thy son's [01121] mandrakes [01736]. 1 30 15 And she said [0559] unto her, Is it a small matter [04592] that thou hast taken [03947] my husband [0376]? and wouldest thou take away [03947] my son's [01121] mandrakes [01736] also? And Rachel [07354] said [0559], Therefore he shall lie [07901] with thee to night [03915] for [08478] thy son's [01121] mandrakes [01736]. 1 30 16 And Jacob [03290] came [0935] out of the field [07704] in the evening [06153], and Leah [03812] went out [03318] to meet [07125] him, and said [0559], Thou must come in [0935] unto me; for surely [07936] I have hired [07936] thee with my son's [01121] mandrakes [01736]. And he lay [07901] with her that night [03915]. 1 30 17 And God [0430] hearkened [08085] unto Leah [03812], and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] Jacob [03290] the fifth [02549] son [01121]. 1 30 18 And Leah [03812] said [0559], God [0430] hath given [05414] me my hire [07939], because [0834] I have given [05414] my maiden [08198] to my husband [0376]: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Issachar [03485]. 1 30 19 And Leah [03812] conceived [02029] again, and bare [03205] Jacob [03290] the sixth [08345] son [01121]. 1 30 20 And Leah [03812] said [0559], God [0430] hath endued [02064] me with a good [02896] dowry [02065]; now [06471] will my husband [0376] dwell [02082] with me, because I have born [03205] him six [08337] sons [01121]: and she called [07121] his name [08034] Zebulun [02074]. 1 30 21 And afterwards [0310] she bare [03205] a daughter [01323], and called [07121] her name [08034] Dinah [01783]. 1 30 22 And God [0430] remembered [02142] Rachel [07354], and God [0430] hearkened [08085] to her, and opened [06605] her womb [07358]. 1 30 23 And she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and said [0559], God [0430] hath taken away [0622] my reproach [02781]: 1 30 24 And she called [07121] his name [08034] Joseph [03130]; and said [0559], The LORD [03068] shall add [03254] to me another [0312] son [01121]. 1 30 25 And it came to pass, when Rachel [07354] had born [03205] Joseph [03130], that Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Laban [03837], Send me away [07971], that I may go [03212] unto mine own place [04725], and to my country [0776]. 1 30 26 Give [05414] me my wives [0802] and my children [03206], for [02004] whom I have served [05647] thee, and let me go [03212]: for thou knowest [03045] my service [05656] which I have done [05647] thee. 1 30 27 And Laban [03837] said [0559] unto him, I pray thee, if I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thine eyes [05869], tarry: for I have learned by experience [05172] that the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] me for thy sake [01558]. 1 30 28 And he said [0559], Appoint [05344] me thy wages [07939], and I will give [05414] it. 1 30 29 And he said [0559] unto him, Thou knowest [03045] how [0834] I have served [05647] thee, and how [0834] thy cattle [04735] was with me. 1 30 30 For it was little [04592] which thou hadst before I [06440] came, and it is now increased [06555] unto a multitude [07230]; and the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] thee since my coming [07272]: and now when [04970] shall I provide [06213] for mine own house [01004] also? 1 30 31 And he said [0559], What shall I give thee [05414]? And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Thou shalt not give [05414] me any thing [03972]: if thou wilt do [06213] this thing [01697] for me, I will again [07725] feed [07462] and keep [08104] thy flock [06629]: 1 30 32 I will pass [05674] through all thy flock [06629] to day [03117], removing [05493] from thence all the speckled [05348] and spotted [02921] cattle [07716], and all the brown [02345] cattle [07716] among the sheep [03775], and the spotted [02921] and speckled [05348] among the goats [05795]: and of such shall be my hire [07939]. 1 30 33 So shall my righteousness [06666] answer [06030] for me in time [03117] to come [04279], when it shall come [0935] for my hire [07939] before thy face [06440]: every one [03605] that is not speckled [05348] and spotted [02921] among the goats [05795], and brown [02345] among the sheep [03775], that shall be counted stolen [01589] with me. 1 30 34 And Laban [03837] said [0559], Behold, I would it might be [03863] according to thy word [01697]. 1 30 35 And he removed [05493] that day [03117] the he goats [08495] that were ringstraked [06124] and spotted [02921], and all the she goats [05795] that were speckled [05348] and spotted [02921], and every one that had some white [03836] in it, and all the brown [02345] among the sheep [03775], and gave [05414] them into the hand [03027] of his sons [01121]. 1 30 36 And he set [07760] three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870] betwixt himself and Jacob [03290]: and Jacob [03290] fed [07462] the rest [03498] of Laban's [03837] flocks [06629]. 1 30 37 And Jacob [03290] took [03947] him rods [04731] of green [03892] poplar [03839], and of the hazel [03869] and chesnut tree [06196]; and pilled [06478] white [03836] strakes [06479] in them, and made the white [03836] appear [04286] which was in the rods [04731]. 1 30 38 And he set [03322] the rods [04731] which he had pilled [06478] before [05227] the flocks [06629] in the gutters [07298] in the watering [04325] troughs [08268] when the flocks [06629] came [0935] to drink [08354], that they should conceive [03179] when they came [0935] to drink [08354]. 1 30 39 And the flocks [06629] conceived [03179] before the rods [04731], and brought forth [03205] cattle [06629] ringstraked [06124], speckled [05348], and spotted [02921]. 1 30 40 And Jacob [03290] did separate [06504] the lambs [03775], and set [05414] the faces [06440] of the flocks [06629] toward [0413] the ringstraked [06124], and all the brown [02345] in the flock [06629] of Laban [03837]; and he put [07896] his own flocks [05739] by themselves, and put [07896] them not unto Laban's [03837] cattle [06629]. 1 30 41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger [07194] cattle [06629] did conceive [03179], that Jacob [03290] laid [07760] the rods [04731] before the eyes [05869] of the cattle [06629] in the gutters [07298], that they might conceive [03179] among the rods [04731]. 1 30 42 But when the cattle [06629] were feeble [05848], he put them not in [07760]: so the feebler [05848] were Laban's [03837], and the stronger [07194] Jacob's [03290]. 1 30 43 And the man [0376] increased [06555] exceedingly [03966] [03966], and had much [07227] cattle [06629], and maidservants [08198], and menservants [05650], and camels [01581], and asses [02543]. 1 31 1 And he heard [08085] the words [01697] of Laban's [03837] sons [01121], saying [0559], Jacob [03290] hath taken away [03947] all that was our father's [01]; and of that which was our father's [01] hath he gotten [06213] all this glory [03519]. 1 31 2 And Jacob [03290] beheld [07200] the countenance [06440] of Laban [03837], and, behold, it was not toward him as [08543] before [08032]. 1 31 3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Return [07725] unto the land [0776] of thy fathers [01], and to thy kindred [04138]; and I will be with thee. 1 31 4 And Jacob [03290] sent [07971] and called [07121] Rachel [07354] and Leah [03812] to the field [07704] unto his flock [06629], 1 31 5 And said [0559] unto them, I see [07200] your father's [01] countenance [06440], that it is not toward me as [08543] before [08032]; but the God [0430] of my father [01] hath been [01961] with me. 1 31 6 And ye [0859] know [03045] that with all my power [03581] I have served [05647] your father [01]. 1 31 7 And your father [01] hath deceived [02048] me, and changed [02498] my wages [04909] ten [06235] times [04489]; but God [0430] suffered him [05414] not to hurt [07489] me [05978]. 1 31 8 If he said [0559] thus, The speckled [05348] shall be thy wages [07939]; then all the cattle [06629] bare [03205] speckled [05348]: and if he said [0559] thus, The ringstraked [06124] shall be thy hire [07939]; then bare [03205] all the cattle [06629] ringstraked [06124]. 1 31 9 Thus God [0430] hath taken away [05337] the cattle [04735] of your father [01], and given [05414] them to me. 1 31 10 And it came to pass at the time [06256] that the cattle [06629] conceived [03179], that I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and saw [07200] in a dream [02472], and, behold, the rams [06260] which leaped [05927] upon the cattle [06629] were ringstraked [06124], speckled [05348], and grisled [01261]. 1 31 11 And the angel [04397] of God [0430] spake [0559] unto me in a dream [02472], saying, Jacob [03290]: And I said [0559], Here am I. 1 31 12 And he said [0559], Lift up [05375] now thine eyes [05869], and see [07200], all the rams [06260] which leap [05927] upon the cattle [06629] are ringstraked [06124], speckled [05348], and grisled [01261]: for I have seen [07200] all that Laban [03837] doeth [06213] unto thee. 1 31 13 I am the God [0410] of Bethel [01008], where thou anointedst [04886] the pillar [04676], and where thou vowedst [05087] a vow [05088] unto me: now arise [06965], get thee out [03318] from this land [0776], and return [07725] unto the land [0776] of thy kindred [04138]. 1 31 14 And Rachel [07354] and Leah [03812] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto him, Is there yet any portion [02506] or inheritance [05159] for us in our father's [01] house [01004]? 1 31 15 Are we not counted [02803] of him strangers [05237]? for he hath sold [04376] us, and hath quite [0398] devoured [0398] also our money [03701]. 1 31 16 For all the riches [06239] which God [0430] hath taken [05337] from our father [01], that is ours, and our children's [01121]: now then, whatsoever God [0430] hath said [0559] unto thee, do [06213]. 1 31 17 Then Jacob [03290] rose up [06965], and set [05375] his sons [01121] and his wives [0802] upon camels [01581]; 1 31 18 And he carried away [05090] all his cattle [04735], and all his goods [07399] which he had gotten [07408], the cattle [04735] of his getting [07075], which he had gotten [07408] in Padanaram [06307], for to go [0935] to Isaac [03327] his father [01] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 1 31 19 And Laban [03837] went [01980] to shear [01494] his sheep [06629]: and Rachel [07354] had stolen [01589] the images [08655] that were her father's [01]. 1 31 20 And Jacob [03290] stole away [01589] unawares [03820] to Laban [03837] the Syrian [0761], in that [05921] he told [05046] him not [01097] that he fled [01272]. 1 31 21 So he fled [01272] with all that he had; and he rose up [06965], and passed over [05674] the river [05104], and set [07760] his face [06440] toward the mount [02022] Gilead [01568]. 1 31 22 And it was told [05046] Laban [03837] on the third [07992] day [03117] that Jacob [03290] was fled [01272]. 1 31 23 And he took [03947] his brethren [0251] with him, and pursued [07291] after him [0310] seven [07651] days [03117]' journey [01870]; and they overtook [01692] him in the mount [02022] Gilead [01568]. 1 31 24 And God [0430] came [0935] to Laban [03837] the Syrian [0761] in a dream [02472] by night [03915], and said [0559] unto him, Take heed [08104] that thou speak [01696] not to [05973] Jacob [03290] either good [02896] or [05704] bad [07451]. 1 31 25 Then Laban [03837] overtook [05381] Jacob [03290]. Now Jacob [03290] had pitched [08628] his tent [0168] in the mount [02022]: and Laban [03837] with his brethren [0251] pitched [08628] in the mount [02022] of Gilead [01568]. 1 31 26 And Laban [03837] said [0559] to Jacob [03290], What hast thou done [06213], that thou hast stolen away [01589] unawares [03824] to me, and carried away [05090] my daughters [01323], as captives [07617] taken with the sword [02719]? 1 31 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away [01272] secretly [02244], and steal away [01589] from me; and didst not tell [05046] me, that I might have sent thee away [07971] with mirth [08057], and with songs [07892], with tabret [08596], and with harp [03658]? 1 31 28 And hast not suffered [05203] me to kiss [05401] my sons [01121] and my daughters [01323]? thou hast now done foolishly [05528] in so doing [06213]. 1 31 29 It is [03426] in the power [0410] of my hand [03027] to do [06213] you hurt [07451]: but the God [0430] of your father [01] spake [0559] unto me yesternight [0570], saying [0559], Take thou heed [08104] that thou speak not [01696] to Jacob [03290] either good [02896] or bad [07451]. 1 31 30 And now, though thou wouldest needs [01980] be gone [01980], because thou sore [03700] longedst [03700] after thy father's [01] house [01004], yet wherefore hast thou stolen [01589] my gods [0430]? 1 31 31 And Jacob [03290] answered [06030] and said [0559] to Laban [03837], Because I was afraid [03372]: for I said [0559], Peradventure [06435] thou wouldest take by force [01497] thy daughters [01323] from me. 1 31 32 With whomsoever [0834] thou findest [04672] thy gods [0430], let him not live [02421]: before [05048] our brethren [0251] discern [05234] thou what is thine with me, and take [03947] it to thee. For Jacob [03290] knew [03045] not that Rachel [07354] had stolen [01589] them. 1 31 33 And Laban [03837] went [0935] into Jacob's [03290] tent [0168], and into Leah's [03812] tent [0168], and into the two [08147] maidservants [0519]' tents [0168]; but he found [04672] them not. Then went he out [03318] of Leah's [03812] tent [0168], and entered [0935] into Rachel's [07354] tent [0168]. 1 31 34 Now Rachel [07354] had taken [03947] the images [08655], and put [07760] them in the camel's [01581] furniture [03733], and sat [03427] upon them. And Laban [03837] searched [04959] all the tent [0168], but found [04672] them not. 1 31 35 And she said [0559] to her father [01], Let it not displease [02734] [05869] my lord [0113] that I cannot [03201] rise up [06965] before thee [06440]; for the custom [01870] of women [0802] is upon me. And he searched [02664], but found [04672] not the images [08655]. 1 31 36 And Jacob [03290] was wroth [02734], and chode [07378] with Laban [03837]: and Jacob [03290] answered [06030] and said [0559] to Laban [03837], What is my trespass [06588]? what is my sin [02403], that thou hast so hotly pursued [01814] after me [0310]? 1 31 37 Whereas [03588] thou hast searched [04959] all my stuff [03627], what hast thou found [04672] of all thy household [01004] stuff [03627]? set [07760] it here [03541] before my brethren [0251] and thy brethren [0251], that they may judge [03198] betwixt [0996] us both [08147]. 1 31 38 This twenty [06242] years [08141] have I been with thee; thy ewes [07353] and thy she goats [05795] have not cast their young [07921], and the rams [0352] of thy flock [06629] have I not eaten [0398]. 1 31 39 That which was torn [02966] of beasts I brought [0935] not unto thee; I bare the loss [02398] of it; of my hand [03027] didst thou require [01245] it, whether stolen [01589] by day [03117], or stolen [01589] by night [03915]. 1 31 40 Thus I was; in the day [03117] the drought [02721] consumed [0398] me, and the frost [07140] by night [03915]; and my sleep [08142] departed [05074] from mine eyes [05869]. 1 31 41 Thus have I been twenty [06242] years [08141] in thy house [01004]; I served thee [05647] fourteen [0702] [06240] years [08141] for thy two [08147] daughters [01323], and six [08337] years [08141] for thy cattle [06629]: and thou hast changed [02498] my wages [04909] ten [06235] times [04489]. 1 31 42 Except [03884] the God [0430] of my father [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], and the fear [06343] of Isaac [03327], had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away [07971] now empty [07387]. God [0430] hath seen [07200] mine affliction [06040] and the labour [03018] of my hands [03709], and rebuked [03198] thee yesternight [0570]. 1 31 43 And Laban [03837] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], These daughters [01323] are my daughters [01323], and these children [01121] are my children [01121], and these cattle [06629] are my cattle [06629], and all that thou seest [07200] is mine: and what can I do [06213] this day [03117] unto these my daughters [01323], or [0176] unto their children [01121] which they have born [03205]? 1 31 44 Now therefore come thou [03212], let us make [03772] a covenant [01285], I and thou; and let it be for a witness [05707] between me and thee. 1 31 45 And Jacob [03290] took [03947] a stone [068], and set it up [07311] for a pillar [04676]. 1 31 46 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], Gather [03950] stones [068]; and they took [03947] stones [068], and made [06213] an heap [01530]: and they did eat [0398] there upon the heap [01530]. 1 31 47 And Laban [03837] called [07121] it Jegarsahadutha [03026]: but Jacob [03290] called [07121] it Galeed [01567]. 1 31 48 And Laban [03837] said [0559], This heap [01530] is a witness [05707] between me and thee this day [03117]. Therefore was the name [08034] of it called [07121] Galeed [01567]; 1 31 49 And Mizpah [04709]; for [0834] he said [0559], The LORD [03068] watch [06822] between me and thee, when we are absent [05641] one [0376] from another [07453]. 1 31 50 If thou shalt afflict [06031] my daughters [01323], or if thou shalt take [03947] other wives [0802] beside [05921] my daughters [01323], no man [0376] is with us; see [07200], God [0430] is witness [05707] betwixt me and thee. 1 31 51 And Laban [03837] said [0559] to Jacob [03290], Behold this heap [01530], and behold this pillar [04676], which I have cast [03384] betwixt me and thee; 1 31 52 This heap [01530] be witness [05707], and this pillar [04676] be witness [05713], that I will not pass over [05674] this heap [01530] to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over [05674] this heap [01530] and this pillar [04676] unto me, for harm [07451]. 1 31 53 The God [0430] of Abraham [085], and the God [0430] of Nahor [05152], the God [0430] of their father [01], judge [08199] betwixt us. And Jacob [03290] sware [07650] by the fear [06343] of his father [01] Isaac [03327]. 1 31 54 Then Jacob [03290] offered [02076] sacrifice [02077] upon the mount [02022], and called [07121] his brethren [0251] to eat [0398] bread [03899]: and they did eat [0398] bread [03899], and tarried all night [03885] in the mount [02022]. 1 31 55 And early [07925] in the morning [01242] Laban [03837] rose up [07925], and kissed [05401] his sons [01121] and his daughters [01323], and blessed [01288] them: and Laban [03837] departed [03212], and returned [07725] unto his place [04725]. 1 32 1 And Jacob [03290] went [01980] on his way [01870], and the angels [04397] of God [0430] met [06293] him. 1 32 2 And when Jacob [03290] saw them [07200], he said [0559], This is God's [0430] host [04264]: and he called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Mahanaim [04266]. 1 32 3 And Jacob [03290] sent [07971] messengers [04397] before him [06440] to Esau [06215] his brother [0251] unto the land [0776] of Seir [08165], the country [07704] of Edom [0123]. 1 32 4 And he commanded [06680] them, saying [0559], Thus shall ye speak [0559] unto my lord [0113] Esau [06215]; Thy servant [05650] Jacob [03290] saith [0559] thus, I have sojourned [01481] with Laban [03837], and stayed there [0309] until now: 1 32 5 And I have oxen [07794], and asses [02543], flocks [06629], and menservants [05650], and womenservants [08198]: and I have sent [07971] to tell [05046] my lord [0113], that I may find [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869]. 1 32 6 And the messengers [04397] returned [07725] to Jacob [03290], saying [0559], We came [0935] to thy brother [0251] Esau [06215], and also he cometh [01980] to meet thee [07125], and four hundred [03967] men [0376] with him. 1 32 7 Then Jacob [03290] was greatly [03966] afraid [03372] and distressed [03334]: and he divided [02673] the people [05971] that was with him, and the flocks [06629], and herds [01241], and the camels [01581], into two [08147] bands [04264]; 1 32 8 And said [0559], If Esau [06215] come [0935] to the one [0259] company [04264], and smite it [05221], then the other company [04264] which is left [07604] shall escape [06413]. 1 32 9 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], O God [0430] of my father [01] Abraham [085], and God [0430] of my father [01] Isaac [03327], the LORD [03068] which saidst [0559] unto me, Return [07725] unto thy country [0776], and to thy kindred [04138], and I will deal well [03190] with thee: 1 32 10 I am not worthy of the least [06994] of all the mercies [02617], and of all the truth [0571], which thou hast shewed [06213] unto thy servant [05650]; for with my staff [04731] I passed over [05674] this Jordan [03383]; and now I am become two [08147] bands [04264]. 1 32 11 Deliver me [05337], I pray thee, from the hand [03027] of my brother [0251], from the hand [03027] of Esau [06215]: for I fear [03373] him, lest he will come [0935] and smite me [05221], and the mother [0517] with [05921] the children [01121]. 1 32 12 And thou saidst [0559], I will surely [03190] do thee good [03190], and make [07760] thy seed [02233] as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], which cannot be numbered [05608] for multitude [07230]. 1 32 13 And he lodged [03885] there that same night [03915]; and took [03947] of that which came [0935] to his hand [03027] a present [04503] for Esau [06215] his brother [0251]; 1 32 14 Two hundred [03967] she goats [05795], and twenty [06242] he goats [08495], two hundred [03967] ewes [07353], and twenty [06242] rams [0352], 1 32 15 Thirty [07970] milch [03243] camels [01581] with their colts [01121], forty [0705] kine [06510], and ten [06235] bulls [06499], twenty [06242] she asses [0860], and ten [06235] foals [05895]. 1 32 16 And he delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of his servants [05650], every drove [05739] by themselves; and said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Pass over [05674] before me [06440], and put [07760] a space [07305] betwixt [0996] drove [05739] and [0996] drove [05739]. 1 32 17 And he commanded [06680] the foremost [07223], saying [0559], When Esau [06215] my brother [0251] meeteth thee [06298], and asketh thee [07592], saying [0559], Whose art thou? and whither goest [03212] thou? and whose are these before [06440] thee? 1 32 18 Then thou shalt say [0559], They be thy servant [05650] Jacob's [03290]; it is a present [04503] sent [07971] unto my lord [0113] Esau [06215]: and, behold, also he is behind us [0310]. 1 32 19 And so [01571] commanded he [06680] the second [08145], and the third [07992], and all that followed [01980] [0310] the droves [05739], saying [0559], On this manner [01697] shall ye speak [01696] unto Esau [06215], when ye find [04672] him. 1 32 20 And say ye [0559] moreover [01571], Behold, thy servant [05650] Jacob [03290] is behind us [0310]. For he said [0559], I will appease [03722] him [06440] with the present [04503] that goeth [01980] before me [06440], and afterward [0310] I will see [07200] his face [06440]; peradventure he will accept [05375] of me [06440]. 1 32 21 So went [05674] the present [04503] over [05674] before him [06440]: and himself lodged [03885] that night [03915] in the company [04264]. 1 32 22 And he rose up [06965] that night [03915], and took [03947] his two [08147] wives [0802], and his two [08147] womenservants [08198], and his eleven [06240] [0259] sons [03206], and passed over [05674] the ford [04569] Jabbok [02999]. 1 32 23 And he took them [03947], and sent them over [05674] the brook [05158], and sent over [05674] that he had. 1 32 24 And Jacob [03290] was left [03498] alone; and there wrestled [079] a man [0376] with him until the breaking [05927] of the day [07837]. 1 32 25 And when he saw [07200] that he prevailed [03201] not against him, he touched [05060] the hollow of his thigh [03409]; and the hollow [03709] of Jacob's [03290] thigh [03409] was out of joint [03363], as he wrestled [079] with him. 1 32 26 And he said [0559], Let me go [07971], for the day [07837] breaketh [05927]. And he said [0559], I will not let thee go [07971], except [0518] thou bless [01288] me. 1 32 27 And he said [0559] unto him, What is thy name [08034]? And he said [0559], Jacob [03290]. 1 32 28 And he said [0559], Thy name [08034] shall be called [0559] no more Jacob [03290], but Israel [03478]: for as a prince hast thou power [08280] with God [0430] and with men [0582], and hast prevailed [03201]. 1 32 29 And Jacob [03290] asked [07592] him, and said [0559], Tell [05046] me, I pray thee, thy name [08034]. And he said [0559], Wherefore is it [02088] that thou dost ask [07592] after my name [08034]? And he blessed [01288] him there. 1 32 30 And Jacob [03290] called [07121] the name [08034] of the place [04725] Peniel [06439]: for I have seen [07200] God [0430] face [06440] to face [06440], and my life [05315] is preserved [05337]. 1 32 31 And as he passed over [05674] Penuel [06439] the sun [08121] rose [02224] upon him, and he halted [06760] upon his thigh [03409]. 1 32 32 Therefore the children [01121] of Israel [03478] eat [0398] not of the sinew [01517] which shrank [05384], which is upon the hollow [03709] of the thigh [03409], unto this day [03117]: because he touched [05060] the hollow [03709] of Jacob's [03290] thigh [03409] in the sinew [01517] that shrank [05384]. 1 33 1 And Jacob [03290] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, Esau [06215] came [0935], and with him four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376]. And he divided [02673] the children [03206] unto Leah [03812], and unto Rachel [07354], and unto the two [08147] handmaids [08198]. 1 33 2 And he put [07760] the handmaids [08198] and their children [03206] foremost [07223], and Leah [03812] and her children [03206] after [0314], and Rachel [07354] and Joseph [03130] hindermost [0314]. 1 33 3 And he passed over [05674] before them [06440], and bowed himself [07812] to the ground [0776] seven [07651] times [06471], until he came near [05066] to his brother [0251]. 1 33 4 And Esau [06215] ran [07323] to meet him [07125], and embraced [02263] him, and fell [05307] on his neck [06677], and kissed him [05401]: and they wept [01058]. 1 33 5 And he lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the women [0802] and the children [03206]; and said [0559], Who are those [0428] with thee? And he said [0559], The children [03206] which God [0430] hath graciously given [02603] thy servant [05650]. 1 33 6 Then the handmaidens [08198] came near [05066], they and their children [03206], and they bowed themselves [07812]. 1 33 7 And Leah [03812] also with her children [03206] came near [05066], and bowed themselves [07812]: and after [0310] came [05066] Joseph [03130] near [05066] and Rachel [07354], and they bowed [07812] themselves. 1 33 8 And he said [0559], What meanest thou by all this drove [04264] which I met [06298]? And he said [0559], These are to find [04672] grace [02580] in the sight [05869] of my lord [0113]. 1 33 9 And Esau [06215] said [0559], I have [03426] enough [07227], my brother [0251]; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 1 33 10 And Jacob [03290] said [0559], Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], then receive [03947] my present [04503] at my hand [03027]: for therefore I have seen [07200] thy face [06440], as though I had seen [07200] the face [06440] of God [0430], and thou wast pleased with me [07521]. 1 33 11 Take [03947], I pray thee, my blessing [01293] that is brought [0935] to thee; because God [0430] hath dealt graciously with me [02603], and because [03605] I have [03426] enough [03605]. And he urged [06484] him, and he took [03947] it. 1 33 12 And he said [0559], Let us take our journey [05265], and let us go [03212], and I will go [03212] before thee. 1 33 13 And he said [0559] unto him, My lord [0113] knoweth [03045] that the children [03206] are tender [07390], and the flocks [06629] and herds [01241] with young [05763] are with me: and if men should overdrive [01849] them one [0259] day [03117], all the flock [06629] will die [04191]. 1 33 14 Let my lord [0113], I pray thee, pass over [05674] before [06440] his servant [05650]: and I will lead on [05095] softly [0328], according as [07272] the cattle [04399] that goeth before me [06440] and the children [03206] be able to endure [07272], until I come [0935] unto my lord [0113] unto Seir [08165]. 1 33 15 And Esau [06215] said [0559], Let me now leave [03322] with thee some of the folk [05971] that are with me. And he said [0559], What [04100] needeth it? let me find [04672] grace [02580] in the sight [05869] of my lord [0113]. 1 33 16 So Esau [06215] returned [07725] that day [03117] on his way [01870] unto Seir [08165]. 1 33 17 And Jacob [03290] journeyed [05265] to Succoth [05523], and built [01129] him an house [01004], and made [06213] booths [05521] for his cattle [04735]: therefore the name [08034] of the place [04725] is called [07121] Succoth [05523]. 1 33 18 And Jacob [03290] came [0935] to Shalem [08004], a city [05892] of Shechem [07927], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], when he came [0935] from Padanaram [06307]; and pitched his tent [02583] before [06440] the city [05892]. 1 33 19 And he bought [07069] a parcel [02513] of a field [07704], where he had spread [05186] his tent [0168], at the hand [03027] of the children [01121] of Hamor [02544], Shechem's [07927] father [01], for an hundred [03967] pieces of money [07192]. 1 33 20 And he erected [05324] there an altar [04196], and called it [07121] Elelohe-Israel [0415]. 1 34 1 And Dinah [01783] the daughter [01323] of Leah [03812], which she bare [03205] unto Jacob [03290], went out [03318] to see [07200] the daughters [01323] of the land [0776]. 1 34 2 And when Shechem [07927] the son [01121] of Hamor [02544] the Hivite [02340], prince [05387] of the country [0776], saw [07200] her, he took [03947] her, and lay [07901] with her, and defiled her [06031]. 1 34 3 And his soul [05315] clave [01692] unto Dinah [01783] the daughter [01323] of Jacob [03290], and he loved [0157] the damsel [05291], and spake [01696] kindly [03820] unto the damsel [05291]. 1 34 4 And Shechem [07927] spake [0559] unto his father [01] Hamor [02544], saying [0559], Get [03947] me this damsel [03207] to wife [0802]. 1 34 5 And Jacob [03290] heard [08085] that he had defiled [02930] Dinah [01783] his daughter [01323]: now his sons [01121] were with his cattle [04735] in the field [07704]: and Jacob [03290] held his peace [02790] until they were come [0935]. 1 34 6 And Hamor [02544] the father [01] of Shechem [07927] went out [03318] unto Jacob [03290] to commune [01696] with [0854] him. 1 34 7 And the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] came [0935] out of the field [07704] when they heard [08085] it: and the men [0582] were grieved [06087], and they were very [03966] wroth [02734], because he had wrought [06213] folly [05039] in Israel [03478] in lying [07901] with Jacob's [03290] daughter [01323]; which thing ought not to be done [06213]. 1 34 8 And Hamor [02544] communed [01696] with them, saying [0559], The soul [05315] of my son [01121] Shechem [07927] longeth [02836] for your daughter [01323]: I pray you give [05414] her him to wife [0802]. 1 34 9 And make ye marriages [02859] with us, and give [05414] your daughters [01323] unto us, and take [03947] our daughters [01323] unto you. 1 34 10 And ye shall dwell [03427] with us: and the land [0776] shall be [01961] before you [06440]; dwell [03427] and trade [05503] ye therein, and get you possessions [0270] therein. 1 34 11 And Shechem [07927] said [0559] unto her father [01] and unto her brethren [0251], Let me find [04672] grace [02580] in your eyes [05869], and what ye shall say [0559] unto me I will give [05414]. 1 34 12 Ask [07235] me never so much [03966] dowry [04119] and gift [04976], and I will give [05414] according as ye shall say [0559] unto me: but give [05414] me the damsel [05291] to wife [0802]. 1 34 13 And the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] answered [06030] Shechem [07927] and Hamor [02544] his father [01] deceitfully [04820], and said [01696], because he had defiled [02930] Dinah [01783] their sister [0269]: 1 34 14 And they said [0559] unto them, We cannot [03808] [03201] do [06213] this thing [01697], to give [05414] our sister [0269] to one [0376] that is uncircumcised [06190]; for that were a reproach [02781] unto us: 1 34 15 But in this [02063] will we consent [0225] unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male [02145] of you be circumcised [04135]; 1 34 16 Then will we give [05414] our daughters [01323] unto you, and we will take [03947] your daughters [01323] to us, and we will dwell [03427] with you, and we will become one [0259] people [05971]. 1 34 17 But if ye will not hearken [08085] unto us, to be circumcised [04135]; then will we take [03947] our daughter [01323], and we will be gone [01980]. 1 34 18 And their words [01697] pleased [03190] [05869] Hamor [02544], and Shechem [07927] Hamor's [02544] son [01121]. 1 34 19 And the young man [05288] deferred [0309] not to do [06213] the thing [01697], because he had delight [02654] in Jacob's [03290] daughter [01323]: and he was more honourable [03513] than all the house [01004] of his father [01]. 1 34 20 And Hamor [02544] and Shechem [07927] his son [01121] came [0935] unto the gate [08179] of their city [05892], and communed [01696] with the men [0582] of their city [05892], saying [0559], 1 34 21 These men [0582] are peaceable [08003] with [0854] us; therefore let them dwell [03427] in the land [0776], and trade [05503] therein; for the land [0776], behold, it is large [07342] enough [03027] for them [06440]; let us take [03947] their daughters [01323] to us for wives [0802], and let us give [05414] them our daughters [01323]. 1 34 22 Only herein [02063] will the men [0582] consent [0225] unto us for to dwell [03427] with us, to be one [0259] people [05971], if every male [02145] among us be circumcised [04135], as they are circumcised [04135]. 1 34 23 Shall not their cattle [04735] and their substance [07075] and every beast [0929] of theirs be ours? only let us consent [0225] unto them, and they will dwell [03427] with us. 1 34 24 And unto Hamor [02544] and unto Shechem [07927] his son [01121] hearkened [08085] all that went out [03318] of the gate [08179] of his city [05892]; and every male [02145] was circumcised [04135], all that went out [03318] of the gate [08179] of his city [05892]. 1 34 25 And it came to pass on the third [07992] day [03117], when they were sore [03510], that two [08147] of the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290], Simeon [08095] and Levi [03878], Dinah's [01783] brethren [0251], took [03947] each man [0376] his sword [02719], and came [0935] upon the city [05892] boldly [0983], and slew [02026] all the males [02145]. 1 34 26 And they slew [02026] Hamor [02544] and Shechem [07927] his son [01121] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and took [03947] Dinah [01783] out [03947] of Shechem's [07927] house [01004], and went out [03318]. 1 34 27 The sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] came [0935] upon the slain [02491], and spoiled [0962] the city [05892], because they had defiled [02930] their sister [0269]. 1 34 28 They took [03947] their sheep [06629], and their oxen [01241], and their asses [02543], and that which was in the city [05892], and that which was in the field [07704], 1 34 29 And all their wealth [02428], and all their little ones [02945], and their wives [0802] took they captive [07617], and spoiled [0962] even all that was in the house [01004]. 1 34 30 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] to Simeon [08095] and Levi [03878], Ye have troubled [05916] me to make me to stink [0887] among the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], among the Canaanites [03669] and the Perizzites [06522]: and I being few [04962] in number [04557], they shall gather themselves together [0622] against me, and slay me [05221]; and I shall be destroyed [08045], I and my house [01004]. 1 34 31 And they said [0559], Should he deal [06213] with our sister [0269] as with an harlot [02181]? 1 35 1 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], Arise [06965], go up [05927] to Bethel [01008], and dwell [03427] there: and make [06213] there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], that appeared [07200] unto thee when thou fleddest [01272] from the face [06440] of Esau [06215] thy brother [0251]. 1 35 2 Then Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his household [01004], and to all that were with him, Put away [05493] the strange [05236] gods [0430] that are among you [08432], and be clean [02891], and change [02498] your garments [08071]: 1 35 3 And let us arise [06965], and go up [05927] to Bethel [01008]; and I will make [06213] there an altar [04196] unto God [0410], who answered [06030] me in the day [03117] of my distress [06869], and was with me in the way [01870] which I went [01980]. 1 35 4 And they gave [05414] unto Jacob [03290] all the strange [05236] gods [0430] which were in their hand [03027], and all their earrings [05141] which were in their ears [0241]; and Jacob [03290] hid [02934] them under the oak [0424] which was by Shechem [07927]. 1 35 5 And they journeyed [05265]: and the terror [02847] of God [0430] was upon the cities [05892] that were round about [05439] them, and they did not pursue [07291] after [0310] the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290]. 1 35 6 So Jacob [03290] came [0935] to Luz [03870], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], that is, Bethel [01008], he and all the people [05971] that were with him. 1 35 7 And he built [01129] there an altar [04196], and called [07121] the place [04725] Elbethel [0416]: because there God [0430] appeared [01540] unto him, when he fled [01272] from the face [06440] of his brother [0251]. 1 35 8 But Deborah [01683] Rebekah's [07259] nurse [03243] died [04191], and she was buried [06912] beneath Bethel [01008] under an oak [0437]: and the name [08034] of it was called [07121] Allonbachuth [0439]. 1 35 9 And God [0430] appeared [07200] unto Jacob [03290] again, when he came [0935] out of Padanaram [06307], and blessed [01288] him. 1 35 10 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Thy name [08034] is Jacob [03290]: thy name [08034] shall not be called [07121] any more Jacob [03290], but Israel [03478] shall be thy name [08034]: and he called [07121] his name [08034] Israel [03478]. 1 35 11 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, I am God [0410] Almighty [07706]: be fruitful [06509] and multiply [07235]; a nation [01471] and a company [06951] of nations [01471] shall be of thee, and kings [04428] shall come [03318] out of thy loins [02504]; 1 35 12 And the land [0776] which I gave [05414] Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327], to thee I will give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] will I give [05414] the land [0776]. 1 35 13 And God [0430] went up [05927] from him in the place [04725] where he talked [01696] with him. 1 35 14 And Jacob [03290] set up [05324] a pillar [04676] in the place [04725] where he talked [01696] with him, even a pillar [04678] of stone [068]: and he poured [05258] a drink offering [05262] thereon, and he poured [03332] oil [08081] thereon. 1 35 15 And Jacob [03290] called [07121] the name [08034] of the place [04725] where God [0430] spake [01696] with him, Bethel [01008]. 1 35 16 And they journeyed [05265] from Bethel [01008]; and there was but [05750] a little [03530] way [0776] to come [0935] to Ephrath [0672]: and Rachel [07354] travailed [03205], and she had hard [07185] labour [03205]. 1 35 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard [07185] labour [03205], that the midwife [03205] said [0559] unto her, Fear [03372] not; thou shalt have this son [01121] also. 1 35 18 And it came to pass, as her soul [05315] was in departing [03318], (for she died [04191] that she called [07121] his name [08034] Benoni [01126]: but his father [01] called [07121] him Benjamin [01144]. 1 35 19 And Rachel [07354] died [04191], and was buried [06912] in the way [01870] to Ephrath [0672], which is Bethlehem [01035]. 1 35 20 And Jacob [03290] set [05324] a pillar [04676] upon her grave [06900]: that is the pillar [04678] of Rachel's [07354] grave [06900] unto this day [03117]. 1 35 21 And Israel [03478] journeyed [05265], and spread [05186] his tent [0168] beyond [01973] the tower [04026] of Edar [04029]. 1 35 22 And it came to pass, when Israel [03478] dwelt [07931] in that land [0776], that Reuben [07205] went [03212] and lay [07901] with Bilhah [01090] his father's [01] concubine [06370]: and Israel [03478] heard [08085] it. Now the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] were twelve [08147] [06240]: 1 35 23 The sons [01121] of Leah [03812]; Reuben [07205], Jacob's [03290] firstborn [01060], and Simeon [08095], and Levi [03878], and Judah [03063], and Issachar [03485], and Zebulun [02074]: 1 35 24 The sons [01121] of Rachel [07354]; Joseph [03130], and Benjamin [01144]: 1 35 25 And the sons [01121] of Bilhah [01090], Rachel's [07354] handmaid [08198]; Dan [01835], and Naphtali [05321]: 1 35 26 And the sons [01121] of Zilpah [02153], Leah's [03812] handmaid [08198]; Gad [01410], and Asher [0836]: these are the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290], which were born [03205] to him in Padanaram [06307]. 1 35 27 And Jacob [03290] came [0935] unto Isaac [03327] his father [01] unto Mamre [04471], unto the city of Arbah [07153], which is Hebron [02275], where Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327] sojourned [01481]. 1 35 28 And the days [03117] of Isaac [03327] were an hundred [03967] [08141] and fourscore [08084] years [08141]. 1 35 29 And Isaac [03327] gave up the ghost [01478], and died [04191], and was gathered [0622] unto his people [05971], being old [02205] and full [07649] of days [03117]: and his sons [01121] Esau [06215] and Jacob [03290] buried [06912] him. 1 36 1 Now these are the generations [08435] of Esau [06215], who is Edom [0123]. 1 36 2 Esau [06215] took [03947] his wives [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Canaan [03667]; Adah [05711] the daughter [01323] of Elon [0356] the Hittite [02850], and Aholibamah [0173] the daughter [01323] of Anah [06034] the daughter [01323] of Zibeon [06649] the Hivite [02340]; 1 36 3 And Bashemath [01315] Ishmael's [03458] daughter [01323], sister [0269] of Nebajoth [05032]. 1 36 4 And Adah [05711] bare [03205] to Esau [06215] Eliphaz [0464]; and Bashemath [01315] bare [03205] Reuel [07467]; 1 36 5 And Aholibamah [0173] bare [03205] Jeush [03274], and Jaalam [03281], and Korah [07141]: these are the sons [01121] of Esau [06215], which were born [03205] unto him in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 1 36 6 And Esau [06215] took [03947] his wives [0802], and his sons [01121], and his daughters [01323], and all the persons [05315] of his house [01004], and his cattle [04735], and all his beasts [0929], and all his substance [07075], which he had got [07408] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; and went [03212] into the country [0776] from the face [06440] of his brother [0251] Jacob [03290]. 1 36 7 For their riches [07399] were more [07227] than that they might dwell [03427] together [03162]; and the land [0776] wherein they were strangers [04033] could [03201] not bear [05375] them because [06440] of their cattle [04735]. 1 36 8 Thus dwelt [03427] Esau [06215] in mount [02022] Seir [08165]: Esau [06215] is Edom [0123]. 1 36 9 And these are the generations [08435] of Esau [06215] the father [01] of the Edomites [0123] in mount [02022] Seir [08165]: 1 36 10 These are the names [08034] of Esau's [06215] sons [01121]; Eliphaz [0464] the son [01121] of Adah [05711] the wife [0802] of Esau [06215], Reuel [07467] the son [01121] of Bashemath [01315] the wife [0802] of Esau [06215]. 1 36 11 And the sons [01121] of Eliphaz [0464] were Teman [08487], Omar [0201], Zepho [06825], and Gatam [01609], and Kenaz [07073]. 1 36 12 And Timna [08555] was concubine [06370] to Eliphaz [0464] Esau's [06215] son [01121]; and she bare [03205] to Eliphaz [0464] Amalek [06002]: these were the sons [01121] of Adah [05711] Esau's [06215] wife [0802]. 1 36 13 And these are the sons [01121] of Reuel [07467]; Nahath [05184], and Zerah [02226], Shammah [08048], and Mizzah [04199]: these were the sons [01121] of Bashemath [01315] Esau's [06215] wife [0802]. 1 36 14 And these were the sons [01121] of Aholibamah [0173], the daughter [01323] of Anah [06034] the daughter [01323] of Zibeon [06649], Esau's [06215] wife [0802]: and she bare [03205] to Esau [06215] Jeush [03274], and Jaalam [03281], and Korah [07141]. 1 36 15 These were dukes [0441] of the sons [01121] of Esau [06215]: the sons [01121] of Eliphaz [0464] the firstborn [01060] son of Esau [06215];

Joseph [03130], being seventeen [06240] [07651] years [08141] old [01121], was feeding [07462] the flock [06629] with his brethren [0251]; and the lad [05288] was with the sons [01121] of Bilhah [01090], and with the sons [01121] of Zilpah [02153], his father's [01] wives [0802]: and Joseph [03130] brought [0935] unto his father [01] their evil [07451] report [01681]. 1 37 3 Now Israel [03478] loved [0157] Joseph [03130] more than all his children [01121], because he was the son [01121] of his old age [02208]: and he made [06213] him a coat [03801] of many colours [06446]. 1 37 4 And when his brethren [0251] saw [07200] that their father [01] loved [0157] him more than all his brethren [0251], they hated [08130] him, and could [03201] not speak [01696] peaceably [07965] unto him. 1 37 5 And Joseph [03130] dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and he told [05046] it his brethren [0251]: and they hated [08130] him yet the more [03254]. 1 37 6 And he said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], I pray you, this dream [02472] which I have dreamed [02492]: 1 37 7 For, behold, we were binding [0481] [08432] sheaves [0485] in the field [07704], and, lo, my sheaf [0485] arose [06965], and also stood upright [05324]; and, behold, your sheaves [0485] stood round about [05437], and made obeisance [07812] to my sheaf [0485]. 1 37 8 And his brethren [0251] said [0559] to him, Shalt thou indeed [04427] reign [04427] over us? or shalt thou indeed [04910] have dominion [04910] over us? And they hated [08130] him yet the more [03254] for his dreams [02472], and for his words [01697]. 1 37 9 And he dreamed [02492] yet another [0312] dream [02472], and told [05608] it his brethren [0251], and said [0559], Behold, I have dreamed [02492] a dream [02472] more; and, behold, the sun [08121] and the moon [03394] and the eleven [06240] [0259] stars [03556] made obeisance [07812] to me. 1 37 10 And he told [05608] it to his father [01], and to his brethren [0251]: and his father [01] rebuked [01605] him, and said [0559] unto him, What is this dream [02472] that thou hast dreamed [02492]? Shall I and thy mother [0517] and thy brethren [0251] indeed [0935] come [0935] to bow down [07812] ourselves to thee to the earth [0776]? 1 37 11 And his brethren [0251] envied [07065] him; but his father [01] observed [08104] the saying [01697]. 1 37 12 And his brethren [0251] went [03212] to feed [07462] their father's [01] flock [06629] in Shechem [07927]. 1 37 13 And Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Do not thy brethren [0251] feed [07462] the flock in Shechem [07927]? come [03212], and I will send thee [07971] unto them. And he said [0559] to him, Here am I. 1 37 14 And he said [0559] to him, Go [03212], I pray thee, see [07200] whether it be well [07965] with thy brethren [0251], and well [07965] with the flocks [06629]; and bring [07725] me word [01697] again [07725]. So he sent [07971] him out of the vale [06010] of Hebron [02275], and he came [0935] to Shechem [07927]. 1 37 15 And a certain man [0376] found him [04672], and, behold, he was wandering [08582] in the field [07704]: and the man [0376] asked him [07592], saying [0559], What seekest [01245] thou? 1 37 16 And he said [0559], I seek [01245] my brethren [0251]: tell [05046] me, I pray thee, where [0375] they feed [07462] their flocks. 1 37 17 And the man [0376] said [0559], They are departed [05265] hence [02088]; for I heard [08085] them say [0559], Let us go [03212] to Dothan [01886]. And Joseph [03130] went [03212] after [0310] his brethren [0251], and found [04672] them in Dothan [01886]. 1 37 18 And when they saw [07200] him afar off [07350], even before he came near [07126] unto them, they conspired [05230] against him to slay [04191] him. 1 37 19 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], Behold, this [01976] dreamer [01167] [02472] cometh [0935]. 1 37 20 Come [03212] now therefore, and let us slay [02026] him, and cast [07993] him into some [0259] pit [0953], and we will say [0559], Some evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him: and we shall see [07200] what will become of his dreams [02472]. 1 37 21 And Reuben [07205] heard [08085] it, and he delivered [05337] him out of their hands [03027]; and said [0559], Let us not kill [05221] [05315] him. 1 37 22 And Reuben [07205] said [0559] unto them, Shed [08210] no blood [01818], but cast [07993] him into this pit [0953] that is in the wilderness [04057], and lay [07971] no hand [03027] upon him; that he might rid [05337] him out of their hands [03027], to deliver [07725] him to his father [01] again [07725]. 1 37 23 And it came to pass, when Joseph [03130] was come [0935] unto his brethren [0251], that they stript [06584] [0853] Joseph [03130] out of [0854] his coat [03801], his coat [03801] of many colours [06446] that was on him; 1 37 24 And they took [03947] him, and cast [07993] him into a pit [0953]: and the pit [0953] was empty [07386], there was no water [04325] in it. 1 37 25 And they sat down [03427] to eat [0398] bread [03899]: and they lifted up [05375] their eyes [05869] and looked [07200], and, behold, a company [0736] of Ishmeelites [03459] came [0935] from Gilead [01568] with their camels [01581] bearing [05375] spicery [05219] and balm [06875] and myrrh [03910], going [01980] to carry it down [03381] to Egypt [04714]. 1 37 26 And Judah [03063] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], What profit [01215] is it if we slay [02026] our brother [0251], and conceal [03680] his blood [01818]? 1 37 27 Come [03212], and let us sell [04376] him to the Ishmeelites [03459], and let not our hand [03027] be upon him; for he is our brother [0251] and our flesh [01320]. And his brethren [0251] were content [08085]. 1 37 28 Then there passed [05674] by Midianites [04084] merchantmen [0582] [05503]; and they drew [04900] and lifted up [05927] Joseph [03130] out of the pit [0953], and sold [04376] Joseph [03130] to the Ishmeelites [03459] for twenty [06242] pieces of silver [03701]: and they brought [0935] Joseph [03130] into Egypt [04714]. 1 37 29 And Reuben [07205] returned [07725] unto the pit [0953]; and, behold, Joseph [03130] was not in the pit [0953]; and he rent [07167] his clothes [0899]. 1 37 30 And he returned [07725] unto his brethren [0251], and said [0559], The child [03206] is not; and I, whither [0575] shall I go [0935]? 1 37 31 And they took [03947] Joseph's [03130] coat [03801], and killed [07819] a kid [08163] of the goats [05795], and dipped [02881] the coat [03801] in the blood [01818]; 1 37 32 And they sent [07971] the coat [03801] of many colours [06446], and they brought [0935] it to their father [01]; and said [0559], This have we found [04672]: know [05234] now whether it be thy son's [01121] coat [03801] or no. 1 37 33 And he knew it [05234], and said [0559], It is my son's [01121] coat [03801]; an evil [07451] beast [02416] hath devoured [0398] him; Joseph [03130] is without doubt [02963] rent in pieces [02963]. 1 37 34 And Jacob [03290] rent [07167] his clothes [08071], and put [07760] sackcloth [08242] upon his loins [04975], and mourned [056] for his son [01121] many [07227] days [03117]. 1 37 35 And all his sons [01121] and all his daughters [01323] rose up [06965] to comfort [05162] him; but he refused [03985] to be comforted [05162]; and he said [0559], For I will go down [03381] into the grave [07585] unto my son [01121] mourning [057]. Thus his father [01] wept [01058] for him. 1 37 36 And the Midianites [04092] sold [04376] him into Egypt [04714] unto Potiphar [06318], an officer [05631] of Pharaoh's [06547], and captain [08269] of the guard [02876]. 1 38 1 And it came to pass at that time [06256], that Judah [03063] went down [03381] from his brethren [0251], and turned [05186] in to a certain [0376] Adullamite [05726], whose name [08034] was Hirah [02437]. 1 38 2 And Judah [03063] saw [07200] there a daughter [01323] of a certain [0376] Canaanite [03669], whose name [08034] was Shuah [07770]; and he took her [03947], and went in [0935] unto her. 1 38 3 And she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and he called [07121] his name [08034] Er [06147]. 1 38 4 And she conceived [02029] again, and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and she called [07121] his name [08034] Onan [0209]. 1 38 5 And she yet again conceived [03254], and bare [03205] a son [01121]; and called [07121] his name [08034] Shelah [07956]: and he was at Chezib [03580], when she bare [03205] him. 1 38 6 And Judah [03063] took [03947] a wife [0802] for Er [06147] his firstborn [01060], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559]. 1 38 7 And Er [06147], Judah's [03063] firstborn [01060], was wicked [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] slew [04191] him. 1 38 8 And Judah [03063] said [0559] unto Onan [0209], Go in [0935] unto thy brother's [0251] wife [0802], and marry [02992] her, and raise up [06965] seed [02233] to thy brother [0251]. 1 38 9 And Onan [0209] knew [03045] that the seed [02233] should not be his; and it came to pass, when [0518] he went in [0935] unto his brother's [0251] wife [0802], that he spilled [07843] it on the ground [0776], lest [01115] that he should give [05414] seed [02233] to his brother [0251]. 1 38 10 And the thing which [0834] he did [06213] displeased [03415] [05869] the LORD [03068]: wherefore he slew [04191] him also. 1 38 11 Then said [0559] Judah [03063] to Tamar [08559] his daughter in law [03618], Remain [03427] a widow [0490] at thy father's [01] house [01004], till Shelah [07956] my son [01121] be grown [01431]: for he said [0559], Lest peradventure he die [04191] also, as his brethren [0251] did. And Tamar [08559] went [03212] and dwelt [03427] in her father's [01] house [01004]. 1 38 12 And in process [07235] of time [03117] the daughter [01323] of Shuah [07770] Judah's [03063] wife [0802] died [04191]; and Judah [03063] was comforted [05162], and went up [05927] unto his sheepshearers [01494] [06629] to Timnath [08553], he and his friend [07453] Hirah [02437] the Adullamite [05726]. 1 38 13 And it was told [05046] Tamar [08559], saying [0559], Behold thy father in law [02524] goeth up [05927] to Timnath [08553] to shear [01494] his sheep [06629]. 1 38 14 And she put [05493] her widow's [0491] garments [0899] off [05493] from her, and covered her [03680] with a vail [06809], and wrapped herself [05968], and sat in [03427] an open [05869] place [06607], which is by the way [01870] to Timnath [08553]; for she saw [07200] that Shelah [07956] was grown [01431], and she was not given [05414] unto him to wife [0802]. 1 38 15 When Judah [03063] saw her [07200], he thought [02803] her to be an harlot [02181]; because she had covered [03680] her face [06440]. 1 38 16 And he turned [05186] unto her by the way [01870], and said [0559], Go to [03051], I pray thee, let me come in [0935] unto thee; (for he knew [03045] not that she was his daughter in law [03618].) And she said [0559], What wilt thou give [05414] me, that thou mayest come in [0935] unto me? 1 38 17 And he said [0559], I will send [07971] thee a kid [05795] [01423] from the flock [06629]. And she said [0559], Wilt thou give [05414] me a pledge [06162], till thou send [07971] it? 1 38 18 And he said [0559], What [0834] pledge [06162] shall I give [05414] thee? And she said [0559], Thy signet [02368], and thy bracelets [06616], and thy staff [04294] that is in thine hand [03027]. And he gave [05414] it her, and came in [0935] unto her, and she conceived [02029] by him. 1 38 19 And she arose [06965], and went away [03212], and laid by [05493] her vail [06809] from her, and put on [03847] the garments [0899] of her widowhood [0491]. 1 38 20 And Judah [03063] sent [07971] the kid [01423] [05795] by the hand [03027] of his friend [07453] the Adullamite [05726], to receive [03947] his pledge [06162] from the woman's [0802] hand [03027]: but he found her [04672] not. 1 38 21 Then he asked [07592] the men [0582] of that place [04725], saying [0559], Where is the harlot [06948], that was openly [05869] by the way side [01870]? And they said [0559], There was no harlot [06948] in this [02088] place. 1 38 22 And he returned [07725] to Judah [03063], and said [0559], I cannot [03808] find [04672] her; and also the men [0582] of the place [04725] said [0559], that there was no harlot [06948] in this place. 1 38 23 And Judah [03063] said [0559], Let her take [03947] it to her, lest we be shamed [0937]: behold, I sent [07971] this kid [01423], and thou hast not found [04672] her. 1 38 24 And it came to pass about three [07969] months [02320] after, that it was told [05046] Judah [03063], saying [0559], Tamar [08559] thy daughter in law [03618] hath played the harlot [02181]; and also, behold, she is with child [02030] by whoredom [02183]. And Judah [03063] said [0559], Bring her forth [03318], and let her be burnt [08313]. 1 38 25 When she was brought forth [03318], she sent [07971] to her father in law [02524], saying [0559], By the man [0376], whose these are, am I with child [02030]: and she said [0559], Discern [05234], I pray thee, whose are these, the signet [02858], and bracelets [06616], and staff [04294]. 1 38 26 And Judah [03063] acknowledged [05234] them, and said [0559], She hath been more righteous [06663] than I; because that I gave [05414] her not to Shelah [07956] my son [01121]. And he knew her [03045] again [03254] no more. 1 38 27 And it came to pass in the time [06256] of her travail [03205], that, behold, twins [08380] were in her womb [0990]. 1 38 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed [03205], that the one put out [05414] his hand [03027]: and the midwife [03205] took [03947] and bound [07194] upon his hand [03027] a scarlet thread [08144], saying [0559], This came out [03318] first [07223]. 1 38 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back [07725] his hand [03027], that, behold, his brother [0251] came out [03318]: and she said [0559], How hast thou broken forth [06555]? this breach [06556] be upon thee: therefore his name [08034] was called [07121] Pharez [06557]. 1 38 30 And afterward [0310] came out [03318] his brother [0251], that had the scarlet thread [08144] upon his hand [03027]: and his name [08034] was called [07121] Zarah [02226]. 1 39 1 And Joseph [03130] was brought down [03381] to Egypt [04714]; and Potiphar [06318], an officer [05631] of Pharaoh [06547], captain [08269] of the guard [02876], an Egyptian [0376] [04713], bought [07069] him of the hands [03027] of the Ishmeelites [03459], which had brought him down [03381] thither. 1 39 2 And the LORD [03068] was with Joseph [03130], and he was a prosperous [06743] man [0376]; and he was in the house [01004] of his master [0113] the Egyptian [04713]. 1 39 3 And his master [0113] saw [07200] that the LORD [03068] was with him, and that the LORD [03068] made all that he did [06213] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]. 1 39 4 And Joseph [03130] found [04672] grace [02580] in his sight [05869], and he served [08334] him: and he made him overseer [06485] over his house [01004], and all that he had [03426] he put [05414] into his hand [03027]. 1 39 5 And it came to pass from the time [0227] that he had made him overseer [06485] in his house [01004], and over all that he had [03426], that the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the Egyptian's [04713] house [01004] for Joseph's [03130] sake [01558]; and the blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068] was upon all that he had [03426] in the house [01004], and in the field [07704]. 1 39 6 And he left [05800] all that he had in Joseph's [03130] hand [03027]; and he knew [03045] not ought [03972] he had, save [0518] the bread [03899] which he did eat [0398]. And Joseph [03130] was a goodly [08389] person, and well [03303] favoured [04758]. 1 39 7 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that his master's [0113] wife [0802] cast [05375] her eyes [05869] upon Joseph [03130]; and she said [0559], Lie [07901] with me. 1 39 8 But he refused [03985], and said [0559] unto his master's [0113] wife [0802], Behold, my master [0113] wotteth [03045] not what is with me in the house [01004], and he hath committed [05414] all that he hath [03426] to my hand [03027]; 1 39 9 There is none greater [01419] in this house [01004] than I; neither [03808] hath he kept back [02820] any thing [03972] from me but thee, because [0834] thou [0859] art his wife [0802]: how then can I do [06213] this great [01419] wickedness [07451], and sin [02398] against God [0430]? 1 39 10 And it came to pass, as she spake [01696] to Joseph [03130] day [03117] by day [03117], that he hearkened [08085] not unto her, to lie [07901] by her [0681], or to be with her. 1 39 11 And it came to pass about this time [03117], that Joseph went [0935] into the house [01004] to do [06213] his business [04399]; and there was none of the men [0376] [0582] of the house [01004] there within. 1 39 12 And she caught [08610] him by his garment [0899], saying [0559], Lie [07901] with me: and he left [05800] his garment [0899] in her hand [03027], and fled [05127], and got [03318] him out [02351]. 1 39 13 And it came to pass, when she saw [07200] that he had left [05800] his garment [0899] in her hand [03027], and was fled [05127] forth [02351], 1 39 14 That she called [07121] unto the men [0582] of her house [01004], and spake [0559] unto them, saying [0559], See [07200], he hath brought in [0935] an Hebrew [0376] [05680] unto us to mock [06711] us; he came in [0935] unto me to lie [07901] with me, and I cried [07121] with a loud [01419] voice [06963]: 1 39 15 And it came to pass, when he heard [08085] that I lifted up [07311] my voice [06963] and cried [07121], that he left [05800] his garment [0899] with me [0681], and fled [05127], and got him [03318] out [02351]. 1 39 16 And she laid up [03240] his garment [0899] by her [0681], until his lord [0113] came [0935] home [01004]. 1 39 17 And she spake [01696] unto him according to these words [01697], saying [0559], The Hebrew [05680] servant [05650], which thou hast brought [0935] unto us, came in [0935] unto me to mock [06711] me: 1 39 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up [07311] my voice [06963] and cried [07121], that he left [05800] his garment [0899] with me [0681], and fled [05127] out [02351]. 1 39 19 And it came to pass, when his master [0113] heard [08085] the words [01697] of his wife [0802], which she spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], After this manner [01697] did [06213] thy servant [05650] to me; that his wrath [0639] was kindled [02734]. 1 39 20 And Joseph's [03130] master [0113] took [03947] him, and put him [05414] into the prison [01004] [05470], a place [04725] where the king's [04428] prisoners [0615] were bound [0631]: and he was there in the prison [01004] [05470]. 1 39 21 But the LORD [03068] was with Joseph [03130], and shewed [05186] him mercy [02617], and gave [05414] him favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470]. 1 39 22 And the keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470] committed [05414] to Joseph's [03130] hand [03027] all the prisoners [0615] that were in the prison [01004] [05470]; and whatsoever they did [06213] there, he was the doer [06213] of it. 1 39 23 The keeper [08269] of the prison [01004] [05470] looked [07200] not to any thing [03972] that was under his hand [03027]; because the LORD [03068] was with him, and that which he did [06213], the LORD [03068] made it to prosper [06743]. 1 40 1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that the butler [08248] of the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] and his baker [0644] had offended [02398] their lord [0113] the king [04428] of Egypt [04714]. 1 40 2 And Pharaoh [06547] was wroth [07107] against [05921] two [08147] of his officers [05631], against the chief [08269] of the butlers [08248], and against the chief [08269] of the bakers [0644]. 1 40 3 And he put [05414] them in ward [04929] in the house [01004] of the captain [08269] of the guard [02876], into the prison [01004] [05470], the place [04725] where Joseph [03130] was bound [0631]. 1 40 4 And the captain [08269] of the guard [02876] charged [06485] Joseph [03130] with them, and he served [08334] them: and they continued a season [03117] in ward [04929]. 1 40 5 And they dreamed [02492] a dream [02472] both of them [08147], each man [0376] his dream [02472] in one [0259] night [03915], each man [0376] according to the interpretation [06623] of his dream [02472], the butler [08248] and the baker [0644] of the king [04428] of Egypt [04714], which were bound [0631] in the prison [01004] [05470]. 1 40 6 And Joseph [03130] came in [0935] unto them in the morning [01242], and looked [07200] upon them, and, behold, they were sad [02196]. 1 40 7 And he asked [07592] Pharaoh's [06547] officers [05631] that were with him in the ward [04929] of his lord's [0113] house [01004], saying [0559], Wherefore look [06440] ye so sadly [07451] to day [03117]? 1 40 8 And they said [0559] unto him, We have dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and there is no interpreter [06622] of it. And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them, Do not interpretations [06623] belong to God [0430]? tell me [05608] them, I pray you. 1 40 9 And the chief [08269] butler [08248] told [05608] his dream [02472] to Joseph [03130], and said [0559] to him, In my dream [02472], behold, a vine [01612] was before me [06440]; 1 40 10 And in the vine [01612] were three [07969] branches [08299]: and it was as though it budded [06524], and her blossoms [05322] shot forth [05927]; and the clusters [0811] thereof brought forth ripe [01310] grapes [06025]: 1 40 11 And Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563] was in my hand [03027]: and I took [03947] the grapes [06025], and pressed [07818] them into Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563], and I gave [05414] the cup [03563] into Pharaoh's [06547] hand [03709]. 1 40 12 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto him, This is the interpretation [06623] of it: The three [07969] branches [08299] are three [07969] days [03117]: 1 40 13 Yet [05750] within three [07969] days [03117] shall Pharaoh [06547] lift up [05375] thine head [07218], and restore [07725] thee unto thy place [03653]: and thou shalt deliver [05414] Pharaoh's [06547] cup [03563] into his hand [03027], after the former [07223] manner [04941] when thou wast his butler [08248]. 1 40 14 But think [02142] on me when it shall be well [03190] with thee, and shew [06213] kindness [02617], I pray thee, unto me, and make mention [02142] of me unto Pharaoh [06547], and bring me [03318] out of this house [01004]: 1 40 15 For indeed I was stolen away [01589] out of the land [0776] of the Hebrews [05680]: and here also have I done [06213] nothing [03972] that they should put [07760] me into the dungeon [0953]. 1 40 16 When the chief [08269] baker [0644] saw [07200] that the interpretation [06622] was good [02896], he said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], I also [0637] was in my dream [02472], and, behold, I had three [07969] white [02751] baskets [05536] on my head [07218]: 1 40 17 And in the uppermost [05945] basket [05536] there was of all manner [03978] of bakemeats [04639] [0644] for Pharaoh [06547]; and the birds [05775] did eat [0398] them out of the basket [05536] upon [05921] my head [07218]. 1 40 18 And Joseph [03130] answered [06030] and said [0559], This is the interpretation [06623] thereof: The three [07969] baskets [05536] are three [07969] days [03117]: 1 40 19 Yet within three [07969] days [03117] shall Pharaoh [06547] lift up [05375] thy head [07218] from off thee, and shall hang [08518] thee on a tree [06086]; and the birds [05775] shall eat [0398] thy flesh [01320] from off thee. 1 40 20 And it came to pass the third [07992] day [03117], which was Pharaoh's [06547] birthday [03117] [03205], that he made [06213] a feast [04960] unto all his servants [05650]: and he lifted up [05375] the head [07218] of the chief [08269] butler [08248] and of the chief [08269] baker [0644] among [08432] his servants [05650]. 1 40 21 And he restored [07725] the chief [08269] butler [08248] unto his butlership [04945] again [07725]; and he gave [05414] the cup [03563] into Pharaoh's [06547] hand [03709]: 1 40 22 But he hanged [08518] the chief [08269] baker [0644]: as Joseph [03130] had interpreted [06622] to them. 1 40 23 Yet did not the chief [08269] butler [08248] remember [02142] Joseph [03130], but forgat [07911] him. 1 41 1 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of two full [03117] years [08141], that Pharaoh [06547] dreamed [02492]: and, behold, he stood [05975] by the river [02975]. 1 41 2 And, behold, there came up [05927] out of the river [02975] seven [07651] well [03303] favoured [04758] kine [06510] and fatfleshed [01277] [01320]; and they fed [07462] in a meadow [0260]. 1 41 3 And, behold, seven [07651] other [0312] kine [06510] came up [05927] after them [0310] out of the river [02975], ill [07451] favoured [04758] and leanfleshed [01851] [01320]; and stood [05975] by [0681] the other kine [06510] upon the brink [08193] of the river [02975]. 1 41 4 And the ill [07451] favoured [04758] and leanfleshed [01851] [01320] kine [06510] did eat up [0398] the seven [07651] well [03303] favoured [04758] and fat [01277] kine [06510]. So Pharaoh [06547] awoke [03364]. 1 41 5 And he slept [03462] and dreamed [02492] the second time [08145]: and, behold, seven [07651] ears of corn [07641] came up [05927] upon one [0259] stalk [07070], rank [01277] and good [02896]. 1 41 6 And, behold, seven [07651] thin [01851] ears [07641] and blasted [07710] with the east wind [06921] sprung up [06779] after them [0310]. 1 41 7 And the seven thin [01851] ears [07641] devoured [01104] the seven [07651] rank [01277] and full [04392] ears [07641]. And Pharaoh [06547] awoke [03364], and, behold, it was a dream [02472]. 1 41 8 And it came to pass in the morning [01242] that his spirit [07307] was troubled [06470]; and he sent [07971] and called [07121] for all the magicians [02748] of Egypt [04714], and all the wise men [02450] thereof: and Pharaoh [06547] told [05608] them his dream [02472]; but there was none that could interpret [06622] them unto Pharaoh [06547]. 1 41 9 Then spake [01696] the chief [08269] butler [08248] unto Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], I do remember [02142] my faults [02399] this day [03117]: 1 41 10 Pharaoh [06547] was wroth [07107] with his servants [05650], and put [05414] me in ward [04929] in the captain [08269] of the guard's [02876] house [01004], both me and the chief [08269] baker [0644]: 1 41 11 And we dreamed [02492] a dream [02472] in one [0259] night [03915], I and he; we dreamed [02492] each man [0376] according to the interpretation [06623] of his dream [02472]. 1 41 12 And there was there with us a young man [05288], an Hebrew [05680], servant [05650] to the captain [08269] of the guard [02876]; and we told [05608] him, and he interpreted [06622] to us our dreams [02472]; to each man [0376] according to his dream [02472] he did interpret [06622]. 1 41 13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted [06622] to us, so it was; me he restored [07725] unto mine office [03653], and him he hanged [08518]. 1 41 14 Then Pharaoh [06547] sent [07971] and called [07121] Joseph [03130], and they brought him hastily [07323] out of the dungeon [0953]: and he shaved [01548] himself, and changed [02498] his raiment [08071], and came in [0935] unto Pharaoh [06547]. 1 41 15 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], I have dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and there is none that can interpret [06622] it: and I have heard [08085] say [0559] of thee, that thou canst understand [08085] a dream [02472] to interpret [06622] it. 1 41 16 And Joseph [03130] answered [06030] Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], It is not in me [01107]: God [0430] shall give [06030] Pharaoh [06547] an answer [06030] of peace [07965]. 1 41 17 And Pharaoh [06547] said [01696] unto Joseph [03130], In my dream [02472], behold, I stood [05975] upon the bank [08193] of the river [02975]: 1 41 18 And, behold, there came up [05927] out of the river [02975] seven [07651] kine [06510], fatfleshed [01277] [01320] and well [03303] favoured [08389]; and they fed [07462] in a meadow [0260]: 1 41 19 And, behold, seven [07651] other [0312] kine [06510] came up [05927] after them [0310], poor [01803] and very [03966] ill [07451] favoured [08389] and leanfleshed [07534] [01320], such [02007] as I never [03808] saw [07200] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] for badness [07455]: 1 41 20 And the lean [07534] and the ill favoured [07451] kine [06510] did eat up [0398] the first [07223] seven [07651] fat [01277] kine [06510]: 1 41 21 And when they had eaten them up [0935] [07130], it could not be known [03045] that they had eaten them [0935] [07130]; but they were still [04758] ill favoured [07451], as at the beginning [08462]. So I awoke [03364]. 1 41 22 And I saw [07200] in my dream [02472], and, behold, seven [07651] ears [07641] came up [05927] in one [0259] stalk [07070], full [04392] and good [02896]: 1 41 23 And, behold, seven [07651] ears [07641], withered [06798], thin [01851], and blasted [07710] with the east wind [06921], sprung up [06779] after them [0310]: 1 41 24 And the thin [01851] ears [07641] devoured [01104] the seven [07651] good [02896] ears [07641]: and I told [0559] this unto the magicians [02748]; but there was none that could declare [05046] it to me. 1 41 25 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], The dream [02472] of Pharaoh [06547] is one [0259]: God [0430] hath shewed [05046] Pharaoh [06547] what he is about to do [06213]. 1 41 26 The seven [07651] good [02896] kine [06510] are seven [07651] years [08141]; and the seven [07651] good [02896] ears [07641] are seven [07651] years [08141]: the dream [02472] is one [0259]. 1 41 27 And the seven [07651] thin [07534] and ill favoured [07451] kine [06510] that came up [05927] after them [0310] are seven [07651] years [08141]; and the seven [07651] empty [07386] ears [07641] blasted [07710] with the east wind [06921] shall be seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458]. 1 41 28 This is the thing [01697] which I have spoken [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547]: What God [0430] is about to do [06213] he sheweth [07200] unto Pharaoh [06547]. 1 41 29 Behold, there come [0935] seven [07651] years [08141] of great [01419] plenty [07647] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: 1 41 30 And there shall arise [06965] after them [0310] seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458]; and all the plenty [07647] shall be forgotten [07911] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and the famine [07458] shall consume [03615] the land [0776]; 1 41 31 And the plenty [07647] shall not be known [03045] in the land [0776] by reason [06440] of that famine [07458] following [0310] [03651]; for it shall be very [03966] grievous [03515]. 1 41 32 And for that the dream [02472] was doubled [08138] unto Pharaoh [06547] twice [06471]; it is because the thing [01697] is established [03559] by [05973] God [0430], and God [0430] will shortly [04116] bring it to pass [06213]. 1 41 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh [06547] look out [07200] a man [0376] discreet [0995] and wise [02450], and set [07896] him over the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 34 Let Pharaoh [06547] do [06213] this, and let him appoint [06485] officers [06496] over the land [0776], and take up the fifth part [02567] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] in the seven [07651] plenteous [07647] years [08141]. 1 41 35 And let them gather [06908] all the food [0400] of those good [02896] years [08141] that come [0935], and lay up [06651] corn [01250] under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547], and let them keep [08104] food [0400] in the cities [05892]. 1 41 36 And that food [0400] shall be for store [06487] to the land [0776] against the seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458], which shall be in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; that the land [0776] perish [03772] not through the famine [07458]. 1 41 37 And the thing [01697] was good [03190] in the eyes [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], and in the eyes [05869] of all his servants [05650]. 1 41 38 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Can we find [04672] such a one as this [02088] is, a man [0376] in whom [0834] the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] is? 1 41 39 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Forasmuch [0310] as God [0430] hath shewed [03045] thee all this, there is none so discreet [0995] and wise [02450] as thou art: 1 41 40 Thou shalt be [01961] over my house [01004], and according unto thy word [06310] shall all my people [05971] be ruled [05401]: only in the throne [03678] will I be greater [01431] than thou. 1 41 41 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], See [07200], I have set [05414] thee over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 42 And Pharaoh [06547] took off [05493] his ring [02885] from his hand [03027], and put [05414] it upon Joseph's [03130] hand [03027], and arrayed [03847] him in vestures [0899] of fine linen [08336], and put [07760] a gold [02091] chain [07242] about his neck [06677]; 1 41 43 And he made him to ride [07392] in the second [04932] chariot [04818] which he had; and they cried [07121] before him [06440], Bow the knee [086]: and he made [05414] him ruler over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 44 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], I am Pharaoh [06547], and without [01107] thee shall no man [0376] lift up [07311] his hand [03027] or foot [07272] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 45 And Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] Joseph's [03130] name [08034] Zaphnathpaaneah [06847]; and he gave [05414] him to wife [0802] Asenath [0621] the daughter [01323] of Potipherah [06319] priest [03548] of On [0204]. And Joseph [03130] went out [03318] over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 46 And Joseph [03130] was thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] when he stood [05975] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714]. And Joseph [03130] went out [03318] from the presence [06440] of Pharaoh [06547], and went throughout [05674] all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 47 And in the seven [07651] plenteous [07647] years [08141] the earth [0776] brought forth [06213] by handfuls [07062]. 1 41 48 And he gathered up [06908] all the food [0400] of the seven [07651] years [08141], which were in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and laid up [05414] the food [0400] in the cities [05892]: the food [0400] of the field [07704], which was round about [05439] every city [05892], laid he up [05414] in the same [08432]. 1 41 49 And Joseph [03130] gathered [06651] corn [01250] as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], very [03966] much [07235], until he left [02308] numbering [05608]; for it was without [0369] number [04557]. 1 41 50 And unto Joseph [03130] were born [03205] two [08147] sons [01121] before the years [08141] of famine [07458] came [0935], which Asenath [0621] the daughter [01323] of Potipherah [06319] priest [03548] of On [0204] bare [03205] unto him. 1 41 51 And Joseph [03130] called [07121] the name [08034] of the firstborn [01060] Manasseh [04519]: For God [0430], said he, hath made me forget [05382] all my toil [05999], and all my father's [01] house [01004]. 1 41 52 And the name [08034] of the second [08145] called [07121] he Ephraim [0669]: For God [0430] hath caused me to be fruitful [06509] in the land [0776] of my affliction [06040]. 1 41 53 And the seven [07651] years [08141] of plenteousness [07647], that was in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], were ended [03615]. 1 41 54 And the seven [07651] years [08141] of dearth [07458] began [02490] to come [0935], according as Joseph [03130] had said [0559]: and the dearth [07458] was in all lands [0776]; but in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] there was bread [03899]. 1 41 55 And when all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] was famished [07456], the people [05971] cried [06817] to Pharaoh [06547] for bread [03899]: and Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto all the Egyptians [04714], Go [03212] unto Joseph [03130]; what he saith [0559] to you, do [06213]. 1 41 56 And the famine [07458] was over all the face [06440] of the earth [0776]: And Joseph [03130] opened [06605] all the storehouses, and sold [07666] unto the Egyptians [04714]; and the famine [07458] waxed sore [02388] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 41 57 And all countries [0776] came [0935] into Egypt [04714] to Joseph [03130] for to buy [07666] corn; because that the famine [07458] was so sore [02388] in all lands [0776]. 1 42 1 Now when Jacob [03290] saw [07200] that there was [03426] corn [07668] in Egypt [04714], Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto his sons [01121], Why do ye look [07200] one upon another? 1 42 2 And he said [0559], Behold, I have heard [08085] that there is [03426] corn [07668] in Egypt [04714]: get you down [03381] thither, and buy [07666] for us from thence; that we may live [02421], and not die [04191]. 1 42 3 And Joseph's [03130] ten [06235] brethren [0251] went down [03381] to buy [07666] corn [01250] in Egypt [04714]. 1 42 4 But Benjamin [01144], Joseph's [03130] brother [0251], Jacob [03290] sent [07971] not with his brethren [0251]; for he said [0559], Lest peradventure [06435] mischief [0611] befall him [07122]. 1 42 5 And the sons [01121] of Israel [03478] came [0935] to buy [07666] corn among [08432] those that came [0935]: for the famine [07458] was in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 1 42 6 And Joseph [03130] was the governor [07989] over the land [0776], and he it was that sold [07666] to all the people [05971] of the land [0776]: and Joseph's [03130] brethren [0251] came [0935], and bowed down [07812] themselves before him with their faces [0639] to the earth [0776]. 1 42 7 And Joseph [03130] saw [07200] his brethren [0251], and he knew [05234] them, but made himself strange [05234] unto them, and spake [01696] roughly [07186] unto them; and he said [0559] unto them, Whence [0370] come [0935] ye? And they said [0559], From the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] to buy [07666] food [0400]. 1 42 8 And Joseph [03130] knew [05234] his brethren [0251], but they knew [05234] not him. 1 42 9 And Joseph [03130] remembered [02142] the dreams [02472] which he dreamed [02492] of them, and said [0559] unto them, Ye are spies [07270]; to see [07200] the nakedness [06172] of the land [0776] ye are come [0935]. 1 42 10 And they said [0559] unto him, Nay, my lord [0113], but to buy [07666] food [0400] are thy servants [05650] come [0935]. 1 42 11 We [05168] are all one [0259] man's [0376] sons [01121]; we are true [03651] men, thy servants [05650] are no spies [07270]. 1 42 12 And he said [0559] unto them, Nay, but to see [07200] the nakedness [06172] of the land [0776] ye are come [0935]. 1 42 13 And they said [0559], Thy servants [05650] are twelve [08147] [06240] brethren [0251], the sons [01121] of one [0259] man [0376] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; and, behold, the youngest [06996] is this day [03117] with our father [01], and one [0259] is not. 1 42 14 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them, That is it that I spake [01696] unto you, saying [0559], Ye are spies [07270]: 1 42 15 Hereby [02063] ye shall be proved [0974]: By the life [02416] of Pharaoh [06547] ye shall not go forth [03318] hence, except your youngest [06996] brother [0251] come [0935] hither. 1 42 16 Send [07971] one [0259] of you, and let him fetch [03947] your brother [0251], and ye shall be kept in prison [0631], that your words [01697] may be proved [0974], whether there be any truth [0571] in [0854] you: or else [03808] by the life [02416] of Pharaoh [06547] surely ye are spies [07270]. 1 42 17 And he put them all together [0622] into ward [04929] three [07969] days [03117]. 1 42 18 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them the third [07992] day [03117], This do [06213], and live [02421]; for I fear [03373] God [0430]: 1 42 19 If ye be true [03651] men, let one [0259] of your brethren [0251] be bound [0631] in the house [01004] of your prison [04929]: go [03212] ye, carry [0935] corn [07668] for the famine [07459] of your houses [01004]: 1 42 20 But bring [0935] your youngest [06996] brother [0251] unto me; so shall your words [01697] be verified [0539], and ye shall not die [04191]. And they did [06213] so. 1 42 21 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], We are verily [061] guilty [0818] concerning our brother [0251], in that [0834] we saw [07200] the anguish [06869] of his soul [05315], when he besought [02603] us, and we would not hear [08085]; therefore is this distress [06869] come [0935] upon us. 1 42 22 And Reuben [07205] answered [06030] them, saying [0559], Spake I [0559] not unto you, saying [0559], Do not sin [02398] against the child [03206]; and ye would not hear [08085]? therefore, behold, also his blood [01818] is required [01875]. 1 42 23 And they knew [03045] not that Joseph [03130] understood [08085] them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter [03887]. 1 42 24 And he turned himself about [05437] from them, and wept [01058]; and returned to them again [07725], and communed [01696] with them, and took [03947] from them Simeon [08095], and bound [0631] him before their eyes [05869]. 1 42 25 Then Joseph [03130] commanded [06680] to fill [04390] their sacks [03627] with corn [01250], and to restore [07725] every man's [0376] money [03701] into his sack [08242], and to give [05414] them provision [06720] for the way [01870]: and thus [03651] did he [06213] unto them. 1 42 26 And they laded [05375] their asses [02543] with the corn [07668], and departed [03212] thence. 1 42 27 And as one [0259] of them opened [06605] his sack [08242] to give [05414] his ass [02543] provender [04554] in the inn [04411], he espied [07200] his money [03701]; for, behold, it was in his sack's [0572] mouth [06310]. 1 42 28 And he said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], My money [03701] is restored [07725]; and, lo [02009], it is even in my sack [0572]: and their heart [03820] failed [03318] them, and they were afraid [02729], saying [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], What is this that God [0430] hath done [06213] unto us? 1 42 29 And they came [0935] unto Jacob [03290] their father [01] unto the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and told [05046] him all that befell [07136] unto them; saying [0559], 1 42 30 The man [0376], who is the lord [0113] of the land [0776], spake [01696] roughly [07186] to us, and took [05414] us for spies [07270] of the country [0776]. 1 42 31 And we said [0559] unto him, We are true [03651] men; we are no spies [07270]: 1 42 32 We be twelve [06240] [08147] brethren [0251], sons [01121] of our father [01]; one [0259] is not, and the youngest [06996] is this day [03117] with our father [01] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 1 42 33 And the man [0376], the lord [0113] of the country [0776], said [0559] unto us, Hereby shall I know [03045] that ye are true [03651] men; leave [03240] one [0259] of your brethren [0251] here with me, and take [03947] food for the famine [07459] of your households [01004], and be gone [03212]: 1 42 34 And bring [0935] your youngest [06996] brother [0251] unto me: then shall I know [03045] that ye are no spies [07270], but that ye are true [03651] men: so will I deliver [05414] you your brother [0251], and ye shall traffick [05503] in the land [0776]. 1 42 35 And it came to pass as they emptied [07324] their sacks [08242], that, behold, every man's [0376] bundle [06872] of money [03701] was in his sack [08242]: and when both they and their father [01] saw [07200] the bundles [06872] of money [03701], they were afraid [03372]. 1 42 36 And Jacob [03290] their father [01] said [0559] unto them, Me have ye bereaved [07921] of my children: Joseph [03130] is not, and Simeon [08095] is not, and ye will take [03947] Benjamin [01144] away: all these things are against me. 1 42 37 And Reuben [07205] spake [0559] unto his father [01], saying [0559], Slay [04191] my two [08147] sons [01121], if I bring [0935] him not to thee: deliver [05414] him into my hand [03027], and I will bring him to thee again [07725]. 1 42 38 And he said [0559], My son [01121] shall not go down [03381] with you; for his brother [0251] is dead [04191], and he is left [07604] alone: if mischief [0611] befall [07122] him by the way [01870] in the which ye go [03212], then shall ye bring down [03381] my gray hairs [07872] with sorrow [03015] to the grave [07585]. 1 43 1 And the famine [07458] was sore [03515] in the land [0776]. 1 43 2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up [03615] [0398] the corn [07668] which they had brought out [0935] of Egypt [04714], their father [01] said [0559] unto them, Go again [07725], buy [07666] us a little [04592] food [0400]. 1 43 3 And Judah [03063] spake [0559] unto him, saying [0559], The man [0376] did solemnly [05749] protest [05749] unto us, saying [0559], Ye shall not see [07200] my face [06440], except [01115] your brother [0251] be with you. 1 43 4 If thou wilt [03426] send [07971] our brother [0251] with us, we will go down [03381] and buy [07666] thee food [0400]: 1 43 5 But if thou wilt not send [07971] him, we will not go down [03381]: for the man [0376] said [0559] unto us, Ye shall not see [07200] my face [06440], except your brother [0251] be with you. 1 43 6 And Israel [03478] said [0559], Wherefore dealt ye so ill [07489] with me, as to tell [05046] the man [0376] whether ye had yet a brother [0251]? 1 43 7 And they said [0559], The man [0376] asked [07592] us straitly [07592] of our state, and of our kindred [04138], saying [0559], Is your father [01] yet alive [02416]? have ye [03426] another brother [0251]? and we told [05046] him according [05921] to the tenor [06310] of these words [01697]: could we certainly [03045] know [03045] that he would say [0559], Bring [03381] your brother [0251] down [03381]? 1 43 8 And Judah [03063] said [0559] unto Israel [03478] his father [01], Send [07971] the lad [05288] with me, and we will arise [06965] and go [03212]; that we may live [02421], and not die [04191], both we, and thou, and also our little ones [02945]. 1 43 9 I will be surety [06148] for him; of my hand [03027] shalt thou require [01245] him: if [0518] I bring [0935] him not [0518] unto thee, and set [03322] him before thee [06440], then let me bear the blame [02398] for ever [03117]: 1 43 10 For except [03884] we had lingered [04102], surely now we had returned [07725] this second time [06471]. 1 43 11 And their father [01] Israel [03478] said [0559] unto them, If it must be so now [0645], do [06213] this; take [03947] of the best fruits [02173] in the land [0776] in your vessels [03627], and carry down [03381] the man [0376] a present [04503], a little [04592] balm [06875], and a little [04592] honey [01706], spices [05219], and myrrh [03910], nuts [0992], and almonds [08247]: 1 43 12 And take [03947] double [04932] money [03701] in your hand [03027]; and the money [03701] that was brought again [07725] in the mouth [06310] of your sacks [0572], carry it again [07725] in your hand [03027]; peradventure it was an oversight [04870]: 1 43 13 Take [03947] also your brother [0251], and arise [06965], go again [07725] unto the man [0376]: 1 43 14 And God [0410] Almighty [07706] give [05414] you mercy [07356] before [06440] the man [0376], that he may send away [07971] your other [0312] brother [0251], and Benjamin [01144]. If [0834] I be bereaved [07921] of my children, I am bereaved [07921]. 1 43 15 And the men [0582] took [03947] that [02063] present [04503], and they took [03947] double [04932] money [03701] in their hand [03027], and Benjamin [01144]; and rose up [06965], and went down [03381] to Egypt [04714], and stood [05975] before [06440] Joseph [03130]. 1 43 16 And when Joseph [03130] saw [07200] Benjamin [01144] with [0854] them, he said [0559] to the ruler of his house [01004], Bring [0935] these men [0582] home [01004], and slay [02873] [02874], and make ready [03559]; for these men [0582] shall dine [0398] with me at noon [06672]. 1 43 17 And the man [0376] did [06213] as Joseph [03130] bade [0559]; and the man [0376] brought [0935] the men [0582] into Joseph's [03130] house [01004]. 1 43 18 And the men [0582] were afraid [03372], because they were brought [0935] into Joseph's [03130] house [01004]; and they said [0559], Because [01697] of the money [03701] that was returned [07725] in our sacks [0572] at the first time [08462] are we brought in [0935]; that he may seek occasion [01556] against us, and fall [05307] upon us, and take [03947] us for bondmen [05650], and our asses [02543]. 1 43 19 And they came near [05066] to the steward [0376] of Joseph's [03130] house [01004], and they communed [01696] with him at the door [06607] of the house [01004], 1 43 20 And said [0559], O [0994] sir [0113], we came indeed [03381] down [03381] at the first time [08462] to buy [07666] food [0400]: 1 43 21 And it came to pass, when we came [0935] to the inn [04411], that we opened [06605] our sacks [0572], and, behold, every man's [0376] money [03701] was in the mouth [06310] of his sack [0572], our money [03701] in full weight [04948]: and we have brought it again [07725] in our hand [03027]. 1 43 22 And other [0312] money [03701] have we brought down [03381] in our hands [03027] to buy [07666] food [0400]: we cannot tell [03045] who put [07760] our money [03701] in our sacks [0572]. 1 43 23 And he said [0559], Peace [07965] be to you, fear [03372] not: your God [0430], and the God [0430] of your father [01], hath given [05414] you treasure [04301] in your sacks [0572]: I had [0935] your money [03701]. And he brought [03318] Simeon [08095] out unto them. 1 43 24 And the man [0376] brought [0935] the men [0582] into Joseph's [03130] house [01004], and gave [05414] them water [04325], and they washed [07364] their feet [07272]; and he gave [05414] their asses [02543] provender [04554]. 1 43 25 And they made ready [03559] the present [04503] against [05704] Joseph [03130] came [0935] at noon [06672]: for they heard [08085] that they should eat [0398] bread [03899] there. 1 43 26 And when Joseph [03130] came [0935] home [01004], they brought [0935] him the present [04503] which was in their hand [03027] into the house [01004], and bowed [07812] themselves to him to the earth [0776]. 1 43 27 And he asked [07592] them of their welfare [07965], and said [0559], Is your father [01] well [07965], the old man [02205] of whom ye spake [0559]? Is he yet alive [02416]? 1 43 28 And they answered [0559], Thy servant [05650] our father [01] is in good health [07965], he is yet alive [02416]. And they bowed down their heads [06915], and made obeisance [07812]. 1 43 29 And he lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] his brother [0251] Benjamin [01144], his mother's [0517] son [01121], and said [0559], Is this your younger [06996] brother [0251], of whom ye spake [0559] unto me? And he said [0559], God [0430] be gracious [02603] unto thee, my son [01121]. 1 43 30 And Joseph [03130] made haste [04116]; for his bowels [07356] did yearn [03648] upon his brother [0251]: and he sought [01245] where to weep [01058]; and he entered [0935] into his chamber [02315], and wept [01058] there. 1 43 31 And he washed [07364] his face [06440], and went out [03318], and refrained [0662] himself, and said [0559], Set on [07760] bread [03899]. 1 43 32 And they set on [07760] for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians [04713], which did eat [0398] with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians [04713] might [03201] not eat [0398] bread [03899] with the Hebrews [05680]; for that is an abomination [08441] unto the Egyptians [04714]. 1 43 33 And they sat [03427] before him [06440], the firstborn [01060] according to his birthright [01062], and the youngest [06810] according to his youth [06812]: and the men [0582] marvelled [08539] one [0376] at another [07453]. 1 43 34 And he took [05375] and sent messes [04864] unto them from before him [06440]: but Benjamin's [01144] mess [04864] was five [02568] times [03027] so much as [07235] any of theirs. And they drank [08354], and were merry [07937] with him. 1 44 1 And he commanded [06680] the steward of his house [01004], saying [0559], Fill [04390] the men's [0582] sacks [0572] with food [0400], as much as [0834] they can [03201] carry [05375], and put [07760] every man's [0376] money [03701] in his sack's [0572] mouth [06310]. 1 44 2 And put [07760] my cup [01375], the silver [03701] cup [01375], in the sack's [0572] mouth [06310] of the youngest [06996], and his corn [07668] money [03701]. And he did [06213] according to the word [01697] that Joseph [03130] had spoken [01696]. 1 44 3 As soon as the morning [01242] was light [0215], the men [0582] were sent away [07971], they and their asses [02543]. 1 44 4 And when they were gone out [03318] of the city [05892], and not yet far off [07368], Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his steward [01004], Up [06965], follow [07291] after [0310] the men [0582]; and when thou dost overtake [05381] them, say [0559] unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded [07999] evil [07451] for good [02896]? 1 44 5 Is not this it in which my lord [0113] drinketh [08354], and whereby indeed [05172] he divineth [05172]? ye have done evil [07489] in so doing [06213]. 1 44 6 And he overtook [05381] them, and he spake [01696] unto them these same [0428] words [01697]. 1 44 7 And they said [0559] unto him, Wherefore saith [01696] my lord [0113] these words [01697]? God forbid [02486] that thy servants [05650] should do [06213] according to this thing [01697]: 1 44 8 Behold, the money [03701], which we found [04672] in our sacks [0572]' mouths [06310], we brought again [07725] unto thee out of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]: how then should we steal [01589] out of thy lord's [0113] house [01004] silver [03701] or gold [02091]? 1 44 9 With whomsoever of thy servants [05650] it be found [04672], both let him die [04191], and we also will be my lord's [0113] bondmen [05650]. 1 44 10 And he said [0559], Now also let it be according unto your words [01697]: [03651] he with whom it is found [04672] shall be my servant [05650]; and ye shall be blameless [05355]. 1 44 11 Then they speedily [04116] took down [03381] every man [0376] his sack [0572] to the ground [0776], and opened [06605] every man [0376] his sack [0572]. 1 44 12 And he searched [02664], and began [02490] at the eldest [01419], and left [03615] at the youngest [06996]: and the cup [01375] was found [04672] in Benjamin's [01144] sack [0572]. 1 44 13 Then they rent [07167] their clothes [08071], and laded [06006] every man [0376] his ass [02543], and returned [07725] to the city [05892]. 1 44 14 And Judah [03063] and his brethren [0251] came [0935] to Joseph's [03130] house [01004]; for he was yet there: and they fell [05307] before him [06440] on the ground [0776]. 1 44 15 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them, What deed [04639] is this that ye have done [06213]? wot ye [03045] not that such a man [0376] as I can certainly [05172] divine [05172]? 1 44 16 And Judah [03063] said [0559], What shall we say [0559] unto my lord [0113]? what shall we speak [01696]? or how shall we clear ourselves [06663]? God [0430] hath found out [04672] the iniquity [05771] of thy servants [05650]: behold, we are my lord's [0113] servants [05650], both we, and he also [01571] with whom [0834] [03027] the cup [01375] is found [04672]. 1 44 17 And he said [0559], God forbid [02486] that I should do [06213] so [02063]: but the man [0376] in whose hand [03027] the cup [01375] is found [04672], he shall be my servant [05650]; and as for you, get you up [05927] in peace [07965] unto your father [01]. 1 44 18 Then Judah [03063] came near [05066] unto him, and said [0559], Oh [0994] my lord [0113], let thy servant [05650], I pray thee, speak [01696] a word [01697] in my lord's [0113] ears [0241], and let not thine anger [0639] burn [02734] against thy servant [05650]: for thou art even as Pharaoh [06547]. 1 44 19 My lord [0113] asked [07592] his servants [05650], saying [0559], Have [03426] ye a father [01], or a brother [0251]? 1 44 20 And we said [0559] unto my lord [0113], We have [03426] a father [01], an old man [02205], and a child [03206] of his old age [02208], a little one [06996]; and his brother [0251] is dead [04191], and he alone is left [03498] of his mother [0517], and his father [01] loveth [0157] him. 1 44 21 And thou saidst [0559] unto thy servants [05650], Bring him down [03381] unto me, that I may set [07760] mine eyes [05869] upon him. 1 44 22 And we said [0559] unto my lord [0113], The lad [05288] cannot [03201] leave [05800] his father [01]: for if he should leave [05800] his father [01], his father would die [04191]. 1 44 23 And thou saidst [0559] unto thy servants [05650], Except [03808] your youngest [06996] brother [0251] come down [03381] with you, ye shall see [07200] [03254] my face [06440] no more [07200] [03254]. 1 44 24 And it came to pass when we came up [05927] unto thy servant [05650] my father [01], we told [05046] him the words [01697] of my lord [0113]. 1 44 25 And our father [01] said [0559], Go again [07725], and buy [07666] us a little [04592] food [0400]. 1 44 26 And we said [0559], We cannot [03201] go down [03381]: if our youngest [06996] brother [0251] be [03426] with us, then will we go down [03381]: for we may [03201] not see [07200] the man's [0376] face [06440], except [0369] our youngest [06996] brother [0251] be with us. 1 44 27 And thy servant [05650] my father [01] said [0559] unto us, Ye know [03045] that my wife [0802] bare [03205] me two [08147] sons: 1 44 28 And the one [0259] went out [03318] from me, and I said [0559], Surely [02963] he is torn in pieces [02963]; and I saw him [07200] not since [02008]: 1 44 29 And if ye take [03947] this also from [05973] me [06440], and mischief [0611] befall him [07136], ye shall bring down [03381] my gray hairs [07872] with sorrow [07451] to the grave [07585]. 1 44 30 Now therefore when I come [0935] to thy servant [05650] my father [01], and the lad [05288] be not with us; seeing that his life [05315] is bound up [07194] in the lad's life [05315]; 1 44 31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth [07200] that the lad [05288] is not with us, that he will die [04191]: and thy servants [05650] shall bring down [03381] the gray hairs [07872] of thy servant [05650] our father [01] with sorrow [03015] to the grave [07585]. 1 44 32 For thy servant [05650] became surety [06148] for the lad [05288] unto [05973] my father [01], saying [0559], If I bring [0935] him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame [02398] to my father [01] for ever [03117]. 1 44 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant [05650] abide [03427] instead of the lad [05288] a bondman [05650] to my lord [0113]; and let the lad [05288] go up [05927] with his brethren [0251]. 1 44 34 For how [0349] shall I go up [05927] to my father [01], and the lad [05288] be not with me? lest peradventure I see [07200] the evil [07451] that shall come on [04672] my father [01]. 1 45 1 Then Joseph [03130] could [03201] not refrain [0662] himself before all them that stood [05324] by him; and he cried [07121], Cause [03318] every man [0376] to go out [03318] from me. And there stood [05975] no man [0376] with him, while Joseph [03130] made himself known [03045] unto his brethren [0251]. 1 45 2 And he wept [06963] [01065] aloud [05414]: and the Egyptians [04714] and the house [01004] of Pharaoh [06547] heard [08085] [08085]. 1 45 3 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], I am Joseph [03130]; doth my father [01] yet live [02416]? And his brethren [0251] could [03201] not answer [06030] him; for they were troubled [0926] at his presence [06440]. 1 45 4 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], Come near [05066] to me, I pray you. And they came near [05066]. And he said [0559], I am Joseph [03130] your brother [0251], whom ye sold [04376] into Egypt [04714]. 1 45 5 Now therefore be not grieved [06087], nor angry [02734] with yourselves [05869], that ye sold [04376] me hither: for God [0430] did send [07971] me before you [06440] to preserve life [04241]. 1 45 6 For these two years [08141] hath the famine [07458] been in [07130] the land [0776]: and yet there are five [02568] years [08141], in the which there shall neither [0369] be earing [02758] nor harvest [07105]. 1 45 7 And God [0430] sent [07971] me before you [06440] to preserve [07760] you a posterity [07611] in the earth [0776], and to save your lives [02421] by a great [01419] deliverance [06413]. 1 45 8 So now it was not you that sent [07971] me hither, but God [0430]: and he hath made [07760] me a father [01] to Pharaoh [06547], and lord [0113] of all his house [01004], and a ruler [04910] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 1 45 9 Haste [04116] ye, and go up [05927] to my father [01], and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] thy son [01121] Joseph [03130], God [0430] hath made [07760] me lord [0113] of all Egypt [04714]: come down [03381] unto me, tarry [05975] not: 1 45 10 And thou shalt dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], and thou shalt be near [07138] unto me, thou, and thy children [01121], and thy children's [01121] children [01121], and thy flocks [06629], and thy herds [01241], and all that thou hast: 1 45 11 And there will I nourish [03557] thee; for yet there are five [02568] years [08141] of famine [07458]; lest thou, and thy household [01004], and all that thou hast, come to poverty [03423]. 1 45 12 And, behold, your eyes [05869] see [07200], and the eyes [05869] of my brother [0251] Benjamin [01144], that it is my mouth [06310] that speaketh [01696] unto you. 1 45 13 And ye shall tell [05046] my father [01] of all my glory [03519] in Egypt [04714], and of all that ye have seen [07200]; and ye shall haste [04116] and bring down [03381] my father [01] hither. 1 45 14 And he fell [05307] upon his brother [0251] Benjamin's [01144] neck [06677], and wept [01058]; and Benjamin [01144] wept [01058] upon his neck [06677]. 1 45 15 Moreover he kissed [05401] all his brethren [0251], and wept [01058] upon them: and after [0310] that his brethren [0251] talked [01696] with him. 1 45 16 And the fame [06963] thereof was heard [08085] in Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004], saying [0559], Joseph's [03130] brethren [0251] are come [0935]: and it pleased [03190] [05869] Pharaoh [06547] well [03190] [05869], and [05869] his servants [05650]. 1 45 17 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Say [0559] unto thy brethren [0251], This do [06213] ye; lade [02943] your beasts [01165], and go [03212], get [0935] you unto the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; 1 45 18 And take [03947] your father [01] and your households [01004], and come [0935] unto me: and I will give [05414] you the good [02898] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and ye shall eat [0398] the fat [02459] of the land [0776]. 1 45 19 Now thou art commanded [06680], this do [06213] ye; take [03947] you wagons [05699] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] for your little ones [02945], and for your wives [0802], and bring [05375] your father [01], and come [0935]. 1 45 20 Also [05869] regard [02347] not your stuff [03627]; for the good [02898] of all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] is yours. 1 45 21 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] so: and Joseph [03130] gave [05414] them wagons [05699], according to the commandment [06310] of Pharaoh [06547], and gave [05414] them provision [06720] for the way [01870]. 1 45 22 To all of them he gave [05414] each man [0376] changes [02487] of raiment [08071]; but to Benjamin [01144] he gave [05414] three [07969] hundred [03967] pieces of silver [03701], and five [02568] changes [02487] of raiment [08071]. 1 45 23 And to his father [01] he sent [07971] after this [02063] manner; ten [06235] asses [0860] laden [05375] with the good things [02898] of Egypt [04714], and ten [06235] she asses [02543] laden [05375] with corn [01250] and bread [03899] and meat [04202] for his father [01] by the way [01870]. 1 45 24 So he sent [07971] his brethren [0251] away [07971], and they departed [03212]: and he said [0559] unto them, See that ye fall not out [07264] by the way [01870]. 1 45 25 And they went up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], and came [0935] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] unto Jacob [03290] their father [01], 1 45 26 And told [05046] him, saying [0559], Joseph [03130] is yet alive [02416], and he is governor [04910] over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. And Jacob's heart [03820] fainted [06313], for he believed [0539] them not. 1 45 27 And they told [01696] him all the words [01697] of Joseph [03130], which he had said [01696] unto them: and when he saw [07200] the wagons [05699] which Joseph [03130] had sent [07971] to carry [05375] him, the spirit [07307] of Jacob [03290] their father [01] revived [02421]: 1 45 28 And Israel [03478] said [0559], It is enough [07227]; Joseph [03130] my son [01121] is yet alive [02416]: I will go [03212] and see him [07200] before I die [04191]. 1 46 1 And Israel [03478] took his journey [05265] with all that he had, and came [0935] to Beersheba [0884], and offered [02076] sacrifices [02077] unto the God [0430] of his father [01] Isaac [03327]. 1 46 2 And God [0430] spake [0559] unto Israel [03478] in the visions [04759] of the night [03915], and said [0559], Jacob [03290], Jacob [03290]. And he said [0559], Here am I. 1 46 3 And he said [0559], I am God [0410], the God [0430] of thy father [01]: fear [03372] not to go down [03381] into Egypt [04714]; for I will there make [07760] of thee a great [01419] nation [01471]: 1 46 4 I will go down [03381] with thee into Egypt [04714]; and I will also surely [05927] bring thee up [05927] again: and Joseph [03130] shall put [07896] his hand [03027] upon thine eyes [05869]. 1 46 5 And Jacob [03290] rose up [06965] from Beersheba [0884]: and the sons [01121] of Israel [03478] carried [05375] Jacob [03290] their father [01], and their little ones [02945], and their wives [0802], in the wagons [05699] which Pharaoh [06547] had sent [07971] to carry [05375] him. 1 46 6 And they took [03947] their cattle [04735], and their goods [07399], which they had gotten [07408] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and came [0935] into Egypt [04714], Jacob [03290], and all his seed [02233] with him: 1 46 7 His sons [01121], and his sons [01121]' sons [01121] with him, his daughters [01323], and his sons [01121]' daughters [01323], and all his seed [02233] brought he [0935] with him into Egypt [04714]. 1 46 8 And these are the names [08034] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which came [0935] into Egypt [04714], Jacob [03290] and his sons [01121]: Reuben [07205], Jacob's [03290] firstborn [01060]. 1 46 9 And the sons [01121] of Reuben [07205]; Hanoch [02585], and Phallu [06396], and Hezron [02696], and Carmi [03756]. 1 46 10 And the sons [01121] of Simeon [08095]; Jemuel [03223], and Jamin [03226], and Ohad [0161], and Jachin [03199], and Zohar [06714], and Shaul [07586] the son [01121] of a Canaanitish [03669] woman. 1 46 11 And the sons [01121] of Levi [03878]; Gershon [01648], Kohath [06955], and Merari [04847]. 1 46 12 And the sons [01121] of Judah [03063]; Er [06147], and Onan [0209], and Shelah [07956], and Pharez [06557], and Zerah [02226]: but Er [06147] and Onan [0209] died [04191] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667].

1 46 34 That ye shall say [0559], Thy servants [05650]' trade [0582] hath been about cattle [04735] from our youth [05271] even until now, both we, and also our fathers [01]: that ye may dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657]; for every shepherd [07462] [06629] is an abomination [08441] unto the Egyptians [04714]. 1 47 1 Then Joseph [03130] came [0935] and told [05046] Pharaoh [06547], and said [0559], My father [01] and my brethren [0251], and their flocks [06629], and their herds [01241], and all that they have, are come out [0935] of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; and, behold, they are in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657]. 1 47 2 And he took [03947] some [07097] of his brethren [0251], even five [02568] men [0582], and presented [03322] them unto [06440] Pharaoh [06547]. 1 47 3 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], What is your occupation [04639]? And they said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], Thy servants [05650] are shepherds [07462] [06629], both we, and also our fathers [01]. 1 47 4 They said [0559] moreover unto Pharaoh [06547], For to sojourn [01481] in the land [0776] are we come [0935]; for thy servants [05650] have no pasture [04829] for their flocks [06629]; for the famine [07458] is sore [03515] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants [05650] dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657]. 1 47 5 And Pharaoh [06547] spake [0559] unto Joseph [03130], saying [0559], Thy father [01] and thy brethren [0251] are come [0935] unto thee: 1 47 6 The land [0776] of Egypt [04714] is before thee [06440]; in the best [04315] of the land [0776] make [03427] thy father [01] and brethren [0251] to dwell [03427]; in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657] let them dwell [03427]: and if thou knowest [03045] [03426] any men [0582] of activity [02428] among them, then make them [07760] rulers [08269] over my cattle [04735]. 1 47 7 And Joseph [03130] brought in [0935] Jacob [03290] his father [01], and set him [05975] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]: and Jacob [03290] blessed [01288] Pharaoh [06547]. 1 47 8 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto Jacob [03290], How [04100] old [02416] [03117] [08141] art thou? 1 47 9 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], The days [03117] of the years [08141] of my pilgrimage [04033] are an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] years [08141]: few [04592] and evil [07451] have the days [03117] of the years [08141] of my life [02416] been, and have not attained [05381] unto the days [03117] of the years [08141] of the life [02416] of my fathers [01] in the days [03117] of their pilgrimage [04033]. 1 47 10 And Jacob [03290] blessed [01288] Pharaoh [06547], and went out [03318] from before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]. 1 47 11 And Joseph [03130] placed [03427] his father [01] and his brethren [0251], and gave [05414] them a possession [0272] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the best [04315] of the land [0776], in the land [0776] of Rameses [07486], as Pharaoh [06547] had commanded [06680]. 1 47 12 And Joseph [03130] nourished [03557] his father [01], and his brethren [0251], and all his father's [01] household [01004], with bread [03899], according [06310] to their families [02945]. 1 47 13 And there was no bread [03899] in all the land [0776]; for the famine [07458] was very [03966] sore [03515], so that the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] and all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] fainted [03856] by reason [06440] of the famine [07458]. 1 47 14 And Joseph [03130] gathered up [03950] all the money [03701] that was found [04672] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], for the corn [07668] which they bought [07666]: and Joseph [03130] brought [0935] the money [03701] into Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004]. 1 47 15 And when money [03701] failed [08552] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], all the Egyptians [04714] came [0935] unto Joseph [03130], and said [0559], Give [03051] us bread [03899]: for why should we die [04191] in thy presence? for the money [03701] faileth [0656]. 1 47 16 And Joseph [03130] said [0559], Give [03051] your cattle [04735]; and I will give [05414] you for your cattle [04735], if money [03701] fail [0656]. 1 47 17 And they brought [0935] their cattle [04735] unto Joseph [03130]: and Joseph [03130] gave [05414] them bread [03899] in exchange for horses [05483], and for the flocks [06629], and for the cattle [04735] of the herds [01241], and for the asses [02543]: and he fed [05095] them with bread [03899] for all their cattle [04735] for that year [08141]. 1 47 18 When that year [08141] was ended [08552], they came [0935] unto him the second [08145] year [08141], and said [0559] unto him, We will not hide [03582] it from my lord [0113], how that our money [03701] is spent [08552]; my lord [0113] also hath [0413] our herds [04735] of cattle [0929]; there is not ought left [07604] in the sight [06440] of my lord [0113], but our bodies [01472], and our lands [0127]: 1 47 19 Wherefore shall we die [04191] before thine eyes [05869], both we and our land [0127]? buy [07069] us and our land [0127] for bread [03899], and we and our land [0127] will be servants [05650] unto Pharaoh [06547]: and give [05414] us seed [02233], that we may live [02421], and not die [04191], that the land [0127] be not desolate [03456]. 1 47 20 And Joseph [03130] bought [07069] all the land [0127] of Egypt [04714] for Pharaoh [06547]; for the Egyptians [04714] sold [04376] every man [0376] his field [07704], because the famine [07458] prevailed [02388] over them: so the land [0776] became Pharaoh's [06547]. 1 47 21 And as for the people [05971], he removed [05674] them to cities [05892] from one end [07097] of the borders [01366] of Egypt [04714] even to the other end [07097] thereof. 1 47 22 Only the land [0127] of the priests [03548] bought he [07069] not; for the priests [03548] had a portion [02706] assigned them of Pharaoh [06547], and did eat [0398] their portion [02706] which Pharaoh [06547] gave [05414] them: wherefore they sold [04376] not their lands [0127]. 1 47 23 Then Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Behold, I have bought [07069] [0853] you this day [03117] and your land [0127] for Pharaoh [06547]: lo [01887], here is seed [02233] for you, and ye shall sow [02232] the land [0127]. 1 47 24 And it shall come to pass in the increase [08393], that ye shall give [05414] the fifth [02549] part unto Pharaoh [06547], and four [0702] parts [03027] shall be your own, for seed [02233] of the field [07704], and for your food [0400], and for them of your households [01004], and for food [0398] for your little ones [02945]. 1 47 25 And they said [0559], Thou hast saved our lives [02421]: let us find [04672] grace [02580] in the sight [05869] of my lord [0113], and we will be Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650]. 1 47 26 And Joseph [03130] made [07760] it a law [02706] over the land [0127] of Egypt [04714] unto this day [03117], that Pharaoh [06547] should have the fifth [02569] part; except [07535] the land [0127] of the priests [03548] only, which became not Pharaoh's [06547]. 1 47 27 And Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the country [0776] of Goshen [01657]; and they had possessions [0270] therein, and grew [06509], and multiplied [07235] exceedingly [03966]. 1 47 28 And Jacob [03290] lived [02421] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] seventeen [06240] [07651] years [08141]: so the whole age [02416] [03117] of Jacob [03290] was an hundred [03967] forty [0705] [08141] and seven [07651] years [08141]. 1 47 29 And the time [03117] drew nigh [07126] that Israel [03478] must die [04191]: and he called [07121] his son [01121] Joseph [03130], and said [0559] unto him, If now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], put [07760], I pray thee, thy hand [03027] under my thigh [03409], and deal [06213] kindly [02617] and truly [0571] with me; bury [06912] me not, I pray thee, in Egypt [04714]: 1 47 30 But I will lie [07901] with my fathers [01], and thou shalt carry [05375] me out of Egypt [04714], and bury [06912] me in their buryingplace [06900]. And he said [0559], I will do [06213] as thou hast said [01697]. 1 47 31 And he said [0559], Swear [07650] unto me. And he sware [07650] unto him. And Israel [03478] bowed [07812] himself upon the bed's [04296] head [07218]. 1 48 1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that one told [0559] Joseph [03130], Behold, thy father [01] is sick [02470]: and he took [03947] with him his two [08147] sons [01121], Manasseh [04519] and Ephraim [0669]. 1 48 2 And one told [05046] Jacob [03290], and said [0559], Behold, thy son [01121] Joseph [03130] cometh [0935] unto thee: and Israel [03478] strengthened [02388] himself, and sat [03427] upon the bed [04296]. 1 48 3 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], God [0410] Almighty [07706] appeared [07200] unto me at Luz [03870] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and blessed [01288] me, 1 48 4 And said [0559] unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] thee, and I will make [05414] of thee a multitude [06951] of people [05971]; and will give [05414] this land [0776] to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272]. 1 48 5 And now thy two [08147] sons [01121], Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [04519], which were born [03205] unto thee in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] before [05704] I came [0935] unto thee into Egypt [04714], are mine; as Reuben [07205] and Simeon [08095], they shall be mine. 1 48 6 And thy issue [04138], which thou begettest [03205] after [0310] them, shall be thine, and shall be called [07121] after [05921] the name [08034] of their brethren [0251] in their inheritance [05159]. 1 48 7 And as for me, when I came [0935] from Padan [06307], Rachel [07354] died [04191] by me in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] in the way [01870], when [05750] yet there was but a little [03530] way [0776] to come [0935] unto Ephrath [0672]: and I buried her [06912] there in the way [01870] of Ephrath [0672]; the same is Bethlehem [01035]. 1 48 8 And Israel [03478] beheld [07200] Joseph's [03130] sons [01121], and said [0559], Who are these? 1 48 9 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his father [01], They are my sons [01121], whom God [0430] hath given [05414] me in this place. And he said [0559], Bring them [03947], I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless [01288] them. 1 48 10 Now the eyes [05869] of Israel [03478] were dim [03513] for age [02207], so that he could [03201] not see [07200]. And he brought them near [05066] unto him; and he kissed [05401] them, and embraced [02263] them. 1 48 11 And Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], I had not thought [06419] to see [07200] thy face [06440]: and, lo, God [0430] hath shewed [07200] me also thy seed [02233]. 1 48 12 And Joseph [03130] brought them out [03318] from between [05973] his knees [01290], and he bowed [07812] himself with his face [0639] to the earth [0776]. 1 48 13 And Joseph [03130] took [03947] them both [08147], Ephraim [0669] in his right hand [03225] toward Israel's [03478] left hand [08040], and Manasseh [04519] in his left hand [08040] toward Israel's [03478] right hand [03225], and brought them near [05066] unto him. 1 48 14 And Israel [03478] stretched out [07971] his right hand [03225], and laid [07896] it upon Ephraim's [0669] head [07218], who was the younger [06810], and his left hand [08040] upon Manasseh's [04519] head [07218], guiding [07919] his hands [03027] wittingly [07919]; for Manasseh [04519] was the firstborn [01060]. 1 48 15 And he blessed [01288] Joseph [03130], and said [0559], God [0430], before [06440] whom my fathers [01] Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327] did walk [01980], the God [0430] which fed [07462] me all my life long [05750] unto this day [03117], 1 48 16 The Angel [04397] which redeemed [01350] me from all evil [07451], bless [01288] the lads [05288]; and let my name [08034] be named [07121] on them, and the name [08034] of my fathers [01] Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327]; and let them grow [01711] into a multitude [07230] in the midst [07130] of the earth [0776]. 1 48 17 And when Joseph [03130] saw [07200] that his father [01] laid [07896] his right [03225] hand [03027] upon the head [07218] of Ephraim [0669], it displeased [03415] [05869] him: and he held up [08551] his father's [01] hand [03027], to remove [05493] it from Ephraim's [0669] head [07218] unto Manasseh's [04519] head [07218]. 1 48 18 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his father [01], Not so, my father [01]: for this is the firstborn [01060]; put [07760] thy right hand [03225] upon his head [07218]. 1 48 19 And his father [01] refused [03985], and said [0559], I know [03045] it, my son [01121], I know [03045] it: he also shall become a people [05971], and he also shall be great [01431]: but truly [0199] his younger [06996] brother [0251] shall be greater [01431] than he, and his seed [02233] shall become a multitude [04393] of nations [01471]. 1 48 20 And he blessed [01288] them that day [03117], saying [0559], In thee shall Israel [03478] bless [01288], saying [0559], God [0430] make [07760] thee as Ephraim [0669] and as Manasseh [04519]: and he set [07760] Ephraim [0669] before [06440] Manasseh [04519]. 1 48 21 And Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Behold, I die [04191]: but God [0430] shall be with you, and bring you again [07725] unto the land [0776] of your fathers [01]. 1 48 22 Moreover I have given [05414] to thee one [0259] portion [07926] above thy brethren [0251], which I took [03947] out of the hand [03027] of the Amorite [0567] with my sword [02719] and with my bow [07198]. 1 49 1 And Jacob [03290] called [07121] unto his sons [01121], and said [0559], Gather yourselves together [0622], that I may tell [05046] you that which shall befall [07122] you in the last [0319] days [03117]. 1 49 2 Gather yourselves together [06908], and hear [08085], ye sons [01121] of Jacob [03290]; and hearken [08085] unto Israel [03478] your father [01]. 1 49 3 Reuben [07205], thou art my firstborn [01060], my might [03581], and the beginning [07225] of my strength [0202], the excellency [03499] of dignity [07613], and the excellency [03499] of power [05794]: 1 49 4 Unstable [06349] as water [04325], thou shalt not excel [03498]; because thou wentest up [05927] to thy father's [01] bed [04904]; then defiledst thou [02490] it: he went up [05927] to my couch [03326]. 1 49 5 Simeon [08095] and Levi [03878] are brethren [0251]; instruments [03627] of cruelty [02555] are in their habitations [04380]. 1 49 6 O my soul [05315], come [0935] not thou into their secret [05475]; unto their assembly [06951], mine honour [03519], be not thou united [03161]: for in their anger [0639] they slew [02026] a man [0376], and in their selfwill [07522] they digged down [06131] a wall [07794]. 1 49 7 Cursed [0779] be their anger [0639], for it was fierce [05794]; and their wrath [05678], for it was cruel [07185]: I will divide [02505] them in Jacob [03290], and scatter [06327] them in Israel [03478]. 1 49 8 Judah [03063], thou art he whom thy brethren [0251] shall praise [03034]: thy hand [03027] shall be in the neck [06203] of thine enemies [0341]; thy father's [01] children [01121] shall bow down [07812] before thee. 1 49 9 Judah [03063] is a lion's [0738] whelp [01482]: from the prey [02964], my son [01121], thou art gone up [05927]: he stooped down [03766], he couched [07257] as a lion [0738], and as an old lion [03833]; who shall rouse him up [06965]? 1 49 10 The sceptre [07626] shall not depart [05493] from Judah [03063], nor a lawgiver [02710] from between his feet [07272], until [03588] Shiloh [07886] come [0935]; and unto him shall the gathering [03349] of the people [05971] be. 1 49 11 Binding [0631] his foal [05895] unto the vine [01612], and his ass's [0860] colt [01121] unto the choice vine [08321]; he washed [03526] his garments [03830] in wine [03196], and his clothes [05497] in the blood [01818] of grapes [06025]: 1 49 12 His eyes [05869] shall be red [02447] with wine [03196], and his teeth [08127] white [03836] with milk [02461]. 1 49 13 Zebulun [02074] shall dwell [07931] at the haven [02348] of the sea [03220]; and he shall be for an haven [02348] of ships [0591]; and his border [03411] shall be unto Zidon [06721]. 1 49 14 Issachar [03485] is a strong [01634] ass [02543] couching down [07257] between two burdens [04942]: 1 49 15 And he saw [07200] that rest [04496] was good [02896], and the land [0776] that it was pleasant [05276]; and bowed [05186] his shoulder [07926] to bear [05445], and became a servant [05647] unto tribute [04522]. 1 49 16 Dan [01835] shall judge [01777] his people [05971], as one [0259] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 1 49 17 Dan [01835] shall be a serpent [05175] by the way [01870], an adder [08207] in the path [0734], that biteth [05391] the horse [05483] heels [06119], so that his rider [07392] shall fall [05307] backward [0268]. 1 49 18 I have waited for [06960] thy salvation [03444], O LORD [03068]. 1 49 19 Gad [01410], a troop [01416] shall overcome [01464] him: but he shall overcome [01464] at the last [06119]. 1 49 20 Out of Asher [0836] his bread [03899] shall be fat [08082], and he shall yield [05414] royal [04428] dainties [04574]. 1 49 21 Naphtali [05321] is a hind [0355] let loose [07971]: he giveth [05414] goodly [08233] words [0561]. 1 49 22 Joseph [03130] is a fruitful [06509] bough [01121], even a fruitful [06509] bough [01121] by a well [05869]; whose branches [01323] run [06805] over the wall [07791]: 1 49 23 The archers [01167] [02671] have sorely grieved him [04843], and shot [07232] at him, and hated him [07852]: 1 49 24 But his bow [07198] abode [03427] in strength [0386], and the arms [02220] of his hands [03027] were made strong [06339] by the hands [03027] of the mighty [046] God of Jacob [03290]; (from thence is the shepherd [07462], the stone [068] of Israel [03478]:) 1 49 25 Even by the God [0410] of thy father [01], who shall help [05826] thee; and by [0854] the Almighty [07706], who shall bless [01288] thee with blessings [01293] of heaven [08064] above [05920], blessings [01293] of the deep [08415] that lieth [07257] under, blessings [01293] of the breasts [07699], and of the womb [07356]: 1 49 26 The blessings [01293] of thy father [01] have prevailed [01396] above the blessings [01293] of my progenitors [02029] unto the utmost bound [08379] of the everlasting [05769] hills [01389]: they shall be on the head [07218] of Joseph [03130], and on the crown of the head [06936] of him that was separate [05139] from his brethren [0251]. 1 49 27 Benjamin [01144] shall ravin [02963] as a wolf [02061]: in the morning [01242] he shall devour [0398] the prey [05706], and at night [06153] he shall divide [02505] the spoil [07998]. 1 49 28 All these are the twelve [06240] [08147] tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]: and this is it that their father [01] spake [01696] unto them, and blessed [01288] them; every [0834] one [0376] according to his blessing [01293] he blessed [01288] them. 1 49 29 And he charged [06680] them, and said [0559] unto them, I am to be gathered [0622] unto my people [05971]: bury [06912] me with my fathers [01] in the cave [04631] that is in the field [07704] of Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850], 1 49 30 In the cave [04631] that is in the field [07704] of Machpelah [04375], which is before [06440] Mamre [04471], in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which Abraham [085] bought [07069] with the field [07704] of Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850] for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913]. 1 49 31 There they buried [06912] Abraham [085] and Sarah [08283] his wife [0802]; there they buried [06912] Isaac [03327] and Rebekah [07259] his wife [0802]; and there I buried [06912] Leah [03812]. 1 49 32 The purchase [04735] of the field [07704] and of the cave [04631] that is therein was from the children [01121] of Heth [02845]. 1 49 33 And when Jacob [03290] had made an end [03615] of commanding [06680] his sons [01121], he gathered up [0622] his feet [07272] into the bed [04296], and yielded up the ghost [01478], and was gathered [0622] unto his people [05971]. 1 50 1 And Joseph [03130] fell [05307] upon his father's [01] face [06440], and wept [01058] upon him, and kissed [05401] him. 1 50 2 And Joseph [03130] commanded [06680] his servants [05650] the physicians [07495] to embalm [02590] his father [01]: and the physicians [07495] embalmed [02590] Israel [03478]. 1 50 3 And forty [0705] days [03117] were fulfilled [04390] for him; for so are fulfilled [04390] the days [03117] of those which are embalmed [02590]: and the Egyptians [04714] mourned [01058] for him threescore and ten [07657] days [03117]. 1 50 4 And when the days [03117] of his mourning [01068] were past [05674], Joseph [03130] spake [01696] unto the house [01004] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], If now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in your eyes [05869], speak [01696], I pray you, in the ears [0241] of Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], 1 50 5 My father [01] made me swear [07650], saying [0559], Lo [02009], I die [04191]: in my grave [06913] which I have digged [03738] for me in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], there shalt thou bury me [06912]. Now therefore let me go up [05927], I pray thee, and bury [06912] my father [01], and I will come again [07725]. 1 50 6 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559], Go up [05927], and bury [06912] thy father [01], according as he made thee swear [07650]. 1 50 7 And Joseph [03130] went up [05927] to bury [06912] his father [01]: and with him went up [05927] all the servants [05650] of Pharaoh [06547], the elders [02205] of his house [01004], and all the elders [02205] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], 1 50 8 And all the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and his brethren [0251], and his father's [01] house [01004]: only their little ones [02945], and their flocks [06629], and their herds [01241], they left [05800] in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657]. 1 50 9 And there went up [05927] with him both chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]: and it was a very [03966] great [03515] company [04264]. 1 50 10 And they came [0935] to the threshingfloor [01637] of Atad [0329], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], and there they mourned [05594] with a great [01419] and very [03966] sore [03515] lamentation [04553]: and he made [06213] a mourning [060] for his father [01] seven [07651] days [03117]. 1 50 11 And when the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], the Canaanites [03669], saw [07200] the mourning [060] in the floor [01637] of Atad [0329], they said [0559], This is a grievous [03515] mourning [060] to the Egyptians [04714]: wherefore the name of it [08034] was called [07121] Abelmizraim [067], which is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383]. 1 50 12 And his sons [01121] did [06213] unto him according as he commanded [06680] them: 1 50 13 For his sons [01121] carried [05375] him into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and buried [06912] him in the cave [04631] of the field [07704] of Machpelah [04375], which Abraham [085] bought [07069] with the field [07704] for a possession [0272] of a buryingplace [06913] of Ephron [06085] the Hittite [02850], before [06440] Mamre [04471]. 1 50 14 And Joseph [03130] returned [07725] into Egypt [04714], he, and his brethren [0251], and all that went up [05927] with him to bury [06912] his father [01], after [0310] he had buried [06912] his father [01]. 1 50 15 And when Joseph's [03130] brethren [0251] saw [07200] that their father [01] was dead [04191], they said [0559], Joseph [03130] will peradventure [03863] hate us [07852], and will certainly [07725] requite [07725] us all the evil [07451] which we did [01580] unto him. 1 50 16 And they sent a messenger [06680] unto Joseph [03130], saying [0559], Thy father [01] did command [06680] before [06440] he died [04194], saying [0559], 1 50 17 So shall ye say [0559] unto Joseph [03130], Forgive [05375], I pray thee [0577] now, the trespass [06588] of thy brethren [0251], and their sin [02403]; for they did [01580] unto thee evil [07451]: and now, we pray thee, forgive [05375] the trespass [06588] of the servants [05650] of the God [0430] of thy father [01]. And Joseph [03130] wept [01058] when they spake [01696] unto him. 1 50 18 And his brethren [0251] also went [03212] and fell down [05307] before his face [06440]; and they said [0559], Behold, we be thy servants [05650]. 1 50 19 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto them, Fear [03372] not: for am I in the place of God [0430]? 1 50 20 But as for you, ye thought [02803] evil [07451] against me; but God [0430] meant it [02803] unto good [02896], to [04616] bring to pass [06213], as it is this day [03117], to save [02421] much [07227] people [05971] alive [02421]. 1 50 21 Now therefore fear [03372] ye not: I will nourish [03557] you, and your little ones [02945]. And he comforted [05162] them, and spake [01696] kindly [03820] unto them. 1 50 22 And Joseph [03130] dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714], he, and his father's [01] house [01004]: and Joseph [03130] lived [02421] an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141]. 1 50 23 And Joseph [03130] saw [07200] Ephraim's [0669] children [01121] of the third [08029] generation: the children [01121] also of Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] were brought up [03205] upon Joseph's [03130] knees [01290]. 1 50 24 And Joseph [03130] said [0559] unto his brethren [0251], I die [04191]: and God [0430] will surely [06485] visit [06485] you, and bring you out [05927] of this land [0776] unto the land [0776] which he sware [07650] to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290]. 1 50 25 And Joseph [03130] took an oath [07650] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], God [0430] will surely [06485] visit [06485] you, and ye shall carry up [05927] my bones [06106] from hence [02088]. 1 50 26 So Joseph [03130] died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121]: and they embalmed [02590] him, and he was put [03455] in a coffin [0727] in Egypt [04714]. 2 1 1 Now these are the names [08034] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which came [0935] into Egypt [04714]; every man [0376] and his household [01004] came [0935] with Jacob [03290]. 2 1 2 Reuben [07205], Simeon [08095], Levi [03878], and Judah [03063], 2 1 3 Issachar [03485], Zebulun [02074], and Benjamin [01144], 2 1 4 Dan [01835], and Naphtali [05321], Gad [01410], and Asher [0836]. 2 1 5 And all the souls [05315] that came out [03318] of the loins [03409] of Jacob [03290] were seventy [07657] souls [05315]: for Joseph [03130] was in Egypt [04714] already. 2 1 6 And Joseph [03130] died [04191], and all his brethren [0251], and all that generation [01755]. 2 1 7 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were fruitful [06509], and increased abundantly [08317], and multiplied [07235], and waxed exceeding [03966] [03966] mighty [06105]; and the land [0776] was filled [04390] with them. 2 1 8 Now there arose up [06965] a new [02319] king [04428] over Egypt [04714], which knew [03045] not Joseph [03130]. 2 1 9 And he said [0559] unto his people [05971], Behold, the people [05971] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] are more [07227] and mightier [06099] than we: 2 1 10 Come on [03051], let us deal wisely [02449] with them; lest they multiply [07235], and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out [07122] any war [04421], they [01931] join [03254] also unto our enemies [08130], and fight [03898] against us, and so get them up [05927] out of the land [0776]. 2 1 11 Therefore they did set [07760] over them taskmasters [04522] [08269] to afflict [06031] them with their burdens [05450]. And they built [01129] for Pharaoh [06547] treasure [04543] cities [05892], Pithom [06619] and Raamses [07486]. 2 1 12 But the more they afflicted [06031] them, the more [03651] they multiplied [07235] and grew [06555]. And they were grieved [06973] because [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 2 1 13 And the Egyptians [04714] made [05647] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to serve [05647] with rigour [06531]: 2 1 14 And they made [04843] their lives [02416] bitter [04843] with hard [07186] bondage [05656], in morter [02563], and in brick [03843], and in all manner of service [05656] in the field [07704]: all their service [05656], wherein they made them serve [05647], was with rigour [06531]. 2 1 15 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] spake [0559] to the Hebrew [05680] midwives [03205], of which the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Shiphrah [08236], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Puah [06326]: 2 1 16 And he said [0559], When ye do the office of a midwife [03205] to the Hebrew women [05680], and see [07200] them upon the stools [070]; if it be a son [01121], then ye shall kill [04191] him: but if it be a daughter [01323], then she shall live [02425]. 2 1 17 But the midwives [03205] feared [03372] God [0430], and did [06213] not as the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] commanded [01696] them, but saved [02421] the men children [03206] alive [02421]. 2 1 18 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] called [07121] for the midwives [03205], and said [0559] unto them, Why [04069] have ye done [06213] this thing [01697], and have saved [02421] the men children [03206] alive [02421]? 2 1 19 And the midwives [03205] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], Because the Hebrew [05680] women [0802] are not as the Egyptian women [04713]; for they are lively [02422], and are delivered [03205] ere [02962] the midwives [03205] come in [0935] unto them. 2 1 20 Therefore God [0430] dealt well [03190] with the midwives [03205]: and the people [05971] multiplied [07235], and waxed very [03966] mighty [06105]. 2 1 21 And it came to pass, because the midwives [03205] feared [03372] God [0430], that he made [06213] them houses [01004]. 2 1 22 And Pharaoh [06547] charged [06680] all his people [05971], saying [0559], Every son [01121] that is born [03209] ye shall cast [07993] into the river [02975], and every daughter [01323] ye shall save alive [02421]. 2 2 1 And there went [03212] a man [0376] of the house [01004] of Levi [03878], and took [03947] to wife a daughter [01323] of Levi [03878]. 2 2 2 And the woman [0802] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]: and when she saw [07200] him that he was a goodly [02896] child, she hid [06845] him three [07969] months [03391]. 2 2 3 And when she could [03201] not longer [05750] hide [06845] him, she took [03947] for him an ark [08392] of bulrushes [01573], and daubed [02560] it with slime [02564] and with pitch [02203], and put [07760] the child [03206] therein; and she laid [07760] it in the flags [05488] by the river's [02975] brink [08193]. 2 2 4 And his sister [0269] stood [03320] afar off [07350], to wit [03045] what would be done [06213] to him. 2 2 5 And the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547] came down [03381] to wash [07364] herself at the river [02975]; and her maidens [05291] walked [01980] along by the river's [02975] side [03027]; and when she saw [07200] the ark [08392] among [08432] the flags [05488], she sent [07971] her maid [0519] to fetch [03947] it. 2 2 6 And when she had opened [06605] it, she saw [07200] the child [03206]: and, behold, the babe [05288] wept [01058]. And she had compassion [02550] on him, and said [0559], This is one of the Hebrews [05680]' children [03206]. 2 2 7 Then said [0559] his sister [0269] to Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323], Shall I go [03212] and call [07121] to thee a nurse [03243] of the Hebrew [05680] women [0802], that she may nurse [03243] the child [03206] for thee? 2 2 8 And Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323] said [0559] to her, Go [03212]. And the maid [05959] went [03212] and called [07121] the child's [03206] mother [0517]. 2 2 9 And Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323] said [0559] unto her, Take [03212] this child [03206] away [03212], and nurse [03243] it for me, and I will give [05414] thee thy wages [07939]. And the woman [0802] took [03947] the child [03206], and nursed [05134] it. 2 2 10 And the child [03206] grew [01431], and she brought [0935] him unto Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323], and he became her son [01121]. And she called [07121] his name [08034] Moses [04872]: and she said [0559], Because I drew [04871] him out of the water [04325]. 2 2 11 And it came to pass in those days [03117], when Moses [04872] was grown [01431], that he went out [03318] unto his brethren [0251], and looked [07200] on their burdens [05450]: and he spied [07200] an Egyptian [04713] [0376] smiting [05221] an Hebrew [05680], one of his brethren [0251]. 2 2 12 And he looked [06437] this way [03541] and that way [03541], and when he saw [07200] that there was no man [0376], he slew [05221] the Egyptian [04713], and hid [02934] him in the sand [02344]. 2 2 13 And when he went out [03318] the second [08145] day [03117], behold, two [08147] men [0582] of the Hebrews [05680] strove [05327] together: and he said [0559] to him that did the wrong [07563], Wherefore smitest [05221] thou thy fellow [07453]? 2 2 14 And he said [0559], Who made [07760] thee [0376] a prince [08269] and a judge [08199] over us? intendest [0559] thou to kill [02026] me, as thou killedst [02026] the Egyptian [04713]? And Moses [04872] feared [03372], and said [0559], Surely [0403] this thing [01697] is known [03045]. 2 2 15 Now when Pharaoh [06547] heard [08085] this thing [01697], he sought [01245] to slay [02026] Moses [04872]. But Moses [04872] fled [01272] from the face [06440] of Pharaoh [06547], and dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Midian [04080]: and he sat down [03427] by a well [0875]. 2 2 16 Now the priest [03548] of Midian [04080] had seven [07651] daughters [01323]: and they came [0935] and drew [01802] water, and filled [04390] the troughs [07298] to water [08248] their father's [01] flock [06629]. 2 2 17 And the shepherds [07462] came [0935] and drove them away [01644]: but Moses [04872] stood up [06965] and helped [03467] them, and watered [08248] their flock [06629]. 2 2 18 And when they came [0935] to Reuel [07467] their father [01], he said [0559], How [04069] is it that ye are come [0935] so soon [04116] to day [03117]? 2 2 19 And they said [0559], An Egyptian [04713] [0376] delivered [05337] us out of the hand [03027] of the shepherds [07462], and also drew [01802] water enough [01802] for us, and watered [08248] the flock [06629]. 2 2 20 And he said [0559] unto his daughters [01323], And where is he? why is it that ye have left [05800] the man [0376]? call [07121] him, that he may eat [0398] bread [03899]. 2 2 21 And Moses [04872] was content [02974] to dwell [03427] with the man [0376]: and he gave [05414] Moses [04872] Zipporah [06855] his daughter [01323]. 2 2 22 And she bare [03205] him a son [01121], and he called [07121] his name [08034] Gershom [01647]: for he said [0559], I have been a stranger [01616] in a strange [05237] land [0776]. 2 2 23 And it came to pass in process [01992] [07227] of time [03117], that the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] died [04191]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] sighed [0584] by reason of [04480] the bondage [05656], and they cried [02199], and their cry [07775] came up [05927] unto God [0430] by reason of the bondage [05656]. 2 2 24 And God [0430] heard [08085] their groaning [05009], and God [0430] remembered [02142] his covenant [01285] with Abraham [085], with Isaac [03327], and with Jacob [03290]. 2 2 25 And God [0430] looked [07200] upon the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and God [0430] had respect [03045] unto them. 2 3 1 Now Moses [04872] kept [01961] [07462] the flock [06629] of Jethro [03503] his father in law [02859], the priest [03548] of Midian [04080]: and he led [05090] the flock [06629] to the backside [0310] of the desert [04057], and came [0935] to the mountain [02022] of God [0430], even to Horeb [02722]. 2 3 2 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him in a flame [03827] of fire [0784] out of the midst [08432] of a bush [05572]: and he looked [07200], and, behold, the bush [05572] burned [01197] with fire [0784], and the bush [05572] was not consumed [0398]. 2 3 3 And Moses [04872] said [0559], I will now turn aside [05493], and see [07200] this great [01419] sight [04758], why [04069] the bush [05572] is not burnt [01197]. 2 3 4 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that he turned aside [05493] to see [07200], God [0430] called [07121] unto him out of the midst [08432] of the bush [05572], and said [0559], Moses [04872], Moses [04872]. And he said [0559], Here am I. 2 3 5 And he said [0559], Draw not nigh [07126] hither [01988]: put off [05394] thy shoes [05275] from off thy feet [07272], for the place [04725] whereon [0834] thou standest [05975] is holy [06944] ground [0127]. 2 3 6 Moreover he said [0559], I am the God [0430] of thy father [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. And Moses [04872] hid [05641] his face [06440]; for he was afraid [03372] to look [05027] upon God [0430]. 2 3 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have surely [07200] seen [07200] the affliction [06040] of my people [05971] which are in Egypt [04714], and have heard [08085] their cry [06818] by reason [06440] of their taskmasters [05065]; for I know [03045] their sorrows [04341]; 2 3 8 And I am come down [03381] to deliver [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and to bring [05927] them up out of that land [0776] unto a good [02896] land [0776] and a large [07342], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; unto the place [04725] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]. 2 3 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry [06818] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] is come [0935] unto me: and I have also seen [07200] the oppression [03906] wherewith the Egyptians [04714] oppress [03905] them. 2 3 10 Come [03212] now therefore, and I will send [07971] thee unto Pharaoh [06547], that thou mayest bring forth [03318] my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714]. 2 3 11 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Who am I, that I should go [03212] unto Pharaoh [06547], and that I should bring forth [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714]? 2 3 12 And he said [0559], Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token [0226] unto thee, that [03588] I have sent [07971] thee: When thou hast brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of Egypt [04714], ye shall serve [05647] God [0430] upon this mountain [02022]. 2 3 13 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Behold, when I come [0935] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and shall say [0559] unto them, The God [0430] of your fathers [01] hath sent [07971] me unto you; and they shall say [0559] to me, What is his name [08034]? what shall I say [0559] unto them? 2 3 14 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], I AM [01961] THAT I AM [01961]: and he said [0559], Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], I AM hath sent [07971] me unto you. 2 3 15 And God [0430] said [0559] moreover [05750] unto Moses [04872], Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290], hath sent [07971] me unto you: this is my name [08034] for ever [05769], and this is my memorial [02143] unto all [01755] generations [01755]. 2 3 16 Go [03212], and gather [0622] the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] together [0622], and say [0559] unto them, The LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], of Isaac [03327], and of Jacob [03290], appeared [07200] unto me, saying [0559], I have surely [06485] visited [06485] you, and seen that which is done [06213] to you in Egypt [04714]: 2 3 17 And I have said [0559], I will bring [05927] you up out of the affliction [06040] of Egypt [04714] unto the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 2 3 18 And they shall hearken [08085] to thy voice [06963]: and thou shalt come [0935], thou and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], unto the king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and ye shall say [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680] hath met [07136] with us: and now let us go [03212], we beseech thee, three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870] into the wilderness [04057], that we may sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 2 3 19 And I am sure [03045] that the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] will not let [05414] you go [01980], no, not by a mighty [02389] hand [03027]. 2 3 20 And I will stretch out [07971] my hand [03027], and smite [05221] Egypt [04714] with all my wonders [06381] which I will do [06213] in the midst [07130] thereof: and after [0310] that he will let you go [07971]. 2 3 21 And I will give [05414] this people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714]: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go [03212], ye shall not go [03212] empty [07387]: 2 3 22 But every woman [0802] shall borrow [07592] of her neighbour [07934], and of her that sojourneth [01481] in her house [01004], jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091], and raiment [08071]: and ye shall put [07760] them upon your sons [01121], and upon your daughters [01323]; and ye shall spoil [05337] the Egyptians [04714]. 2 4 1 And Moses [04872] answered [06030] and said [0559], But, behold, they will not believe [0539] me, nor hearken [08085] unto my voice [06963]: for they will say [0559], The LORD [03068] hath not appeared [07200] unto thee. 2 4 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, What is that in thine hand [03027]? And he said [0559], A rod [04294]. 2 4 3 And he said [0559], Cast [07993] it on the ground [0776]. And he cast [07993] it on the ground [0776], and it became a serpent [05175]; and Moses [04872] fled [05127] from before [06440] it. 2 4 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Put forth [07971] thine hand [03027], and take [0270] it by the tail [02180]. And he put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and caught [02388] it, and it became a rod [04294] in his hand [03709]: 2 4 5 That they may believe [0539] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290], hath appeared [07200] unto thee. 2 4 6 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] furthermore [05750] unto him, Put [0935] now thine hand [03027] into thy bosom [02436]. And he put [0935] his hand [03027] into his bosom [02436]: and when he took [03318] it out, behold, his hand [03027] was leprous [06879] as snow [07950]. 2 4 7 And he said [0559], Put [07725] thine hand [03027] into thy bosom [02436] again [07725]. And he put [07725] his hand [03027] into his bosom [02436] again [07725]; and plucked [03318] it out of his bosom [02436], and, behold, it was turned again [07725] as his other flesh [01320]. 2 4 8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe [0539] thee, neither hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of the first [07223] sign [0226], that they will believe [0539] the voice [06963] of the latter [0314] sign [0226]. 2 4 9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe [0539] also these two [08147] signs [0226], neither hearken [08085] unto thy voice [06963], that thou shalt take [03947] of the water [04325] of the river [02975], and pour [08210] it upon the dry [03004] land: and the water [04325] which thou takest [03947] out of the river [02975] shall become blood [01818] upon the dry [03006] land. 2 4 10 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], O [0994] my Lord [0136], I [0376] am not eloquent [01697], neither heretofore [08032] [08543], nor since [0227] thou hast spoken [01696] unto thy servant [05650]: but I am slow [03515] of speech [06310], and of a slow [03515] tongue [03956]. 2 4 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Who hath made [07760] man's [0120] mouth [06310]? or who maketh [07760] the dumb [0483], or deaf [02795], or the seeing [06493], or the blind [05787]? have not I the LORD [03068]? 2 4 12 Now therefore go [03212], and I will be with thy mouth [06310], and teach [03384] thee what thou shalt say [01696]. 2 4 13 And he said [0559], O [0994] my Lord [0136], send [07971], I pray thee, by the hand [03027] of him whom thou wilt send [07971]. 2 4 14 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Moses [04872], and he said [0559], Is not Aaron [0175] the Levite [03881] thy brother [0251]? I know [03045] that he can speak [01696] well [01696]. And also, behold, he cometh forth [03318] to meet [07125] thee: and when he seeth [07200] thee, he will be glad [08055] in his heart [03820]. 2 4 15 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, and put [07760] words [01697] in his mouth [06310]: and I will be with thy mouth [06310], and with his mouth [06310], and will teach [03384] you what ye shall do [06213]. 2 4 16 And he shall be thy spokesman [01696] unto the people [05971]: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth [06310], and thou shalt be to him instead of God [0430]. 2 4 17 And thou shalt take [03947] this rod [04294] in thine hand [03027], wherewith thou shalt do [06213] signs [0226]. 2 4 18 And Moses [04872] went [03212] and returned [07725] to Jethro [03500] his father in law [02859], and said [0559] unto him, Let me go [03212], I pray thee, and return [07725] unto my brethren [0251] which are in Egypt [04714], and see [07200] whether they be yet [05750] alive [02416]. And Jethro [03503] said [0559] to Moses [04872], Go [03212] in peace [07965]. 2 4 19 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872] in Midian [04080], Go [03212], return [07725] into Egypt [04714]: for all the men [0582] are dead [04191] which sought [01245] thy life [05315]. 2 4 20 And Moses [04872] took [03947] his wife [0802] and his sons [01121], and set [07392] them upon an ass [02543], and he returned [07725] to the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: and Moses [04872] took [03947] the rod [04294] of God [0430] in his hand [03027]. 2 4 21 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], When thou goest [03212] to return [07725] into Egypt [04714], see [07200] that thou do [06213] all those wonders [04159] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], which I have put [07760] in thine hand [03027]: but I will harden [02388] his heart [03820], that he shall not let the people [05971] go [07971]. 2 4 22 And thou shalt say [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Israel [03478] is my son [01121], even my firstborn [01060]: 2 4 23 And I say [0559] unto thee, Let my son [01121] go [07971], that he may serve [05647] me: and if thou refuse [03985] to let him go [07971], behold, I will slay [02026] thy son [01121], even thy firstborn [01060]. 2 4 24 And it came to pass by the way [01870] in the inn [04411], that the LORD [03068] met [06298] him, and sought [01245] to kill [04191] him. 2 4 25 Then Zipporah [06855] took [03947] a sharp stone [06864], and cut off [03772] the foreskin [06190] of her son [01121], and cast [05060] it at his feet [07272], and said [0559], Surely a bloody [01818] husband [02860] art thou to me. 2 4 26 So he let him go [07503]: then she said [0559], A bloody [01818] husband [02860] thou art, because of the circumcision [04139]. 2 4 27 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] to Aaron [0175], Go [03212] into the wilderness [04057] to meet [07125] Moses [04872]. And he went [03212], and met [06298] him in the mount [02022] of God [0430], and kissed [05401] him. 2 4 28 And Moses [04872] told [05046] Aaron [0175] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] who had sent [07971] him, and all the signs [0226] which he had commanded [06680] him. 2 4 29 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went [03212] and gathered together [0622] all the elders [02205] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 2 4 30 And Aaron [0175] spake [01696] all the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto Moses [04872], and did [06213] the signs [0226] in the sight [05869] of the people [05971]. 2 4 31 And the people [05971] believed [0539]: and when they heard [08085] that the LORD [03068] had visited [06485] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and that he had looked [07200] upon their affliction [06040], then they bowed their heads [06915] and worshipped [07812]. 2 5 1 And afterward [0310] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went in [0935], and told [0559] Pharaoh [06547], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may hold a feast [02287] unto me in the wilderness [04057]. 2 5 2 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559], Who is the LORD [03068], that I should obey [08085] his voice [06963] to let Israel [03478] go [07971]? I know [03045] not the LORD [03068], neither will I let Israel [03478] go [07971]. 2 5 3 And they said [0559], The God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680] hath met [07122] with us: let us go [03212], we pray thee, three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870] into the desert [04057], and sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; lest he fall [06293] upon us with pestilence [01698], or with the sword [02719]. 2 5 4 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] said [0559] unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], let [06544] the people [05971] from their works [04639]? get [03212] you unto your burdens [05450]. 2 5 5 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559], Behold, the people [05971] of the land [0776] now are many [07227], and ye make them rest [07673] from their burdens [05450]. 2 5 6 And Pharaoh [06547] commanded [06680] the same day [03117] the taskmasters [05065] of the people [05971], and their officers [07860], saying [0559], 2 5 7 Ye shall no more [03254] give [05414] the people [05971] straw [08401] to make [03835] brick [03843], as heretofore [08032] [08543]: let them go [03212] and gather [07197] straw [08401] for themselves. 2 5 8 And the tale [04971] of the bricks [03843], which they did make [06213] heretofore [08032] [08543], ye shall lay [07760] upon them; ye shall not diminish [01639] ought thereof: for they be idle [07503]; therefore they cry [06817], saying [0559], Let us go [03212] and sacrifice [02076] to our God [0430]. 2 5 9 Let there more work [05656] be laid [03513] upon the men [0582], that they may labour [06213] therein; and let them not regard [08159] vain [08267] words [01697]. 2 5 10 And the taskmasters [05065] of the people [05971] went out [03318], and their officers [07860], and they spake [0559] to the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] Pharaoh [06547], I will not give [05414] you straw [08401]. 2 5 11 Go [03212] ye, get [03947] you straw [08401] where [0834] ye can find [04672] it: yet [03588] not ought [01697] of your work [05656] shall be diminished [01639]. 2 5 12 So the people [05971] were scattered abroad [06327] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to gather [07197] stubble [07179] instead of straw [08401]. 2 5 13 And the taskmasters [05065] hasted [0213] them, saying [0559], Fulfil [03615] your works [04639], your daily [03117] tasks [01697], as when there was [01961] straw [08401]. 2 5 14 And the officers [07860] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which Pharaoh's [06547] taskmasters [05065] had set [07760] over them, were beaten [05221], and demanded [0559], Wherefore have ye not fulfilled [03615] your task [02706] in making brick [03835] both yesterday [08543] and to day [03117], as heretofore [08032] [08543]? 2 5 15 Then the officers [07860] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came [0935] and cried [06817] unto Pharaoh [06547], saying [0559], Wherefore dealest [06213] thou thus with thy servants [05650]? 2 5 16 There is no straw [08401] given [05414] unto thy servants [05650], and they say [0559] to us, Make [06213] brick [03843]: and, behold, thy servants [05650] are beaten [05221]; but the fault [02398] is in thine own people [05971]. 2 5 17 But he said [0559], Ye are idle [07503], ye are idle [07503]: therefore ye say [0559], Let us go [03212] and do sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068]. 2 5 18 Go [03212] therefore now, and work [05647]; for there shall no straw [08401] be given [05414] you, yet shall ye deliver [05414] the tale [08506] of bricks [03843]. 2 5 19 And the officers [07860] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did see [07200] that they were in evil [07451] case, after it was said [0559], Ye shall not minish [01639] ought from your bricks [03843] of your daily [03117] [03117] task [01697]. 2 5 20 And they met [06293] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], who stood [05324] in the way [07125], as they came forth [03318] from Pharaoh [06547]: 2 5 21 And they said [0559] unto them, The LORD [03068] look [07200] upon you, and judge [08199]; because ye have made our savour [07381] to be abhorred [0887] in the eyes [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], and in the eyes [05869] of his servants [05650], to put [05414] a sword [02719] in their hand [03027] to slay [02026] us. 2 5 22 And Moses [04872] returned [07725] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Lord [0136], wherefore hast thou so evil entreated [07489] this people [05971]? why is it that thou hast sent [07971] me? 2 5 23 For since I came [0935] to Pharaoh [06547] to speak [01696] in thy name [08034], he hath done evil [07489] to this people [05971]; neither hast thou delivered [05337] thy people [05971] at all [05337]. 2 6 1 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Now shalt thou see [07200] what I will do [06213] to Pharaoh [06547]: for with a strong [02389] hand [03027] shall he let them go [07971], and with a strong [02389] hand [03027] shall he drive them out [01644] of his land [0776]. 2 6 2 And God [0430] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], and said [0559] unto him, I am the LORD [03068]: 2 6 3 And I appeared [07200] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290], by the name of God [0410] Almighty [07706], but by my name [08034] JEHOVAH [03068] was I not known [03045] to them. 2 6 4 And I have also established [06965] my covenant [01285] with them, to give [05414] them the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the land [0776] of their pilgrimage [04033], wherein they were strangers [01481]. 2 6 5 And I have also heard [08085] the groaning [05009] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], whom [0834] the Egyptians [04714] keep in bondage [05647]; and I have remembered [02142] my covenant [01285]. 2 6 6 Wherefore [03651] say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], I am the LORD [03068], and I will bring [03318] you out from under the burdens [05450] of the Egyptians [04714], and I will rid [05337] you out of their bondage [05656], and I will redeem [01350] you with a stretched [05186] out arm [02220], and with great [01419] judgments [08201]: 2 6 7 And I will take [03947] you to me for a people [05971], and I will be to you a God [0430]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which bringeth [03318] you out from under the burdens [05450] of the Egyptians [04714]. 2 6 8 And I will bring [0935] you in unto the land [0776], concerning the which I did swear [05375] [03027] to give [05414] it to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290]; and I will give [05414] it you for an heritage [04181]: I am the LORD [03068]. 2 6 9 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] so unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: but they hearkened [08085] not unto Moses [04872] for anguish [07115] of spirit [07307], and for cruel [07186] bondage [05656]. 2 6 10 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 6 11 Go [0935] in, speak [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], that he let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] go out [07971] of his land [0776]. 2 6 12 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] before [06440] the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Behold, the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have not hearkened [08085] unto me; how then shall Pharaoh [06547] hear [08085] me [0589], who am of uncircumcised [06189] lips [08193]? 2 6 13 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], and gave them a charge [06680] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], to bring [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 6 14 These be the heads [07218] of their fathers [01]' houses [01004]: The sons [01121] of Reuben [07205] the firstborn [01060] of Israel [03478]; Hanoch [02585], and Pallu [06396], Hezron [02696], and Carmi [03756]: these be the families [04940] of Reuben [07205]. 2 6 15 And the sons [01121] of Simeon [08095]; Jemuel [03223], and Jamin [03226], and Ohad [0161], and Jachin [03199], and Zohar [06714], and Shaul [07586] the son [01121] of a Canaanitish woman [03669]: these are the families [04940] of Simeon [08095]. 2 6 16 And these are the names [08034] of the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] according to their generations [08435]; Gershon [01648], and Kohath [06955], and Merari [04847]: and the years [08141] of the life [02416] of Levi [03878] were an hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and seven [07651] years [08141]. 2 6 17 The sons [01121] of Gershon [01648]; Libni [03845], and Shimi [08096], according to their families [04940]. 2 6 18 And the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955]; Amram [06019], and Izhar [03324], and Hebron [02275], and Uzziel [05816]: and the years [08141] of the life [02416] of Kohath [06955] were an hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and three [07969] years [08141]. 2 6 19 And the sons [01121] of Merari [04847]; Mahali [04249] and Mushi [04187]: these are the families [04940] of Levi [03878] according to their generations [08435]. 2 6 20 And Amram [06019] took [03947] him Jochebed [03115] his father's sister [01733] to wife [0802]; and she bare [03205] him Aaron [0175] and Moses [04872]: and the years [08141] of the life [02416] of Amram [06019] were an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] and seven [07651] years [08141]. 2 6 21 And the sons [01121] of Izhar [03324]; Korah [07141], and Nepheg [05298], and Zichri [02147]. 2 6 22 And the sons [01121] of Uzziel [05816]; Mishael [04332], and Elzaphan [0469], and Zithri [05644]. 2 6 23 And Aaron [0175] took [03947] him Elisheba [0472], daughter [01323] of Amminadab [05992], sister [0269] of Naashon [05177], to wife [0802]; and she bare [03205] him Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], Eleazar [0499], and Ithamar [0385]. 2 6 24 And the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]; Assir [0617], and Elkanah [0511], and Abiasaph [023]: these are the families [04940] of the Korhites [07145]. 2 6 25 And Eleazar [0499] Aaron's [0175] son [01121] took [03947] him one of the daughters [01323] of Putiel [06317] to wife [0802]; and she bare [03205] him Phinehas [06372]: these are the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the Levites [03881] according to their families [04940]. 2 6 26 These [01931] are that Aaron [0175] and Moses [04872], to whom [0834] the LORD [03068] said [0559], Bring out [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] according to their armies [06635]. 2 6 27 These [01992] are they which spake [01696] to Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], to bring out [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from Egypt [04714]: these are that Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175]. 2 6 28 And it came to pass on the day [03117] when the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], 2 6 29 That the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], I am the LORD [03068]: speak [01696] thou unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] all that I say [01696] unto thee. 2 6 30 And Moses [04872] said [0559] before [06440] the LORD [03068], Behold, I am of uncircumcised [06189] lips [08193], and how shall Pharaoh [06547] hearken [08085] unto me? 2 7 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], See [07200], I have made [05414] thee a god [0430] to Pharaoh [06547]: and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] shall be thy prophet [05030]. 2 7 2 Thou shalt speak [01696] all that I command [06680] thee: and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] shall speak [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547], that he send [07971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of his land [0776]. 2 7 3 And I will harden [07185] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], and multiply [07235] my signs [0226] and my wonders [04159] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 7 4 But Pharaoh [06547] shall not hearken [08085] unto you, that I may lay [05414] my hand [03027] upon Egypt [04714], and bring forth [03318] mine armies [06635], and my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] by great [01419] judgments [08201]. 2 7 5 And the Egyptians [04714] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I stretch forth [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Egypt [04714], and bring out [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from among [08432] them. 2 7 6 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] them, so did [06213] they. 2 7 7 And Moses [04872] was fourscore [08084] years [08141] old [01121], and Aaron [0175] fourscore [08084] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121], when they spake [01696] unto Pharaoh [06547]. 2 7 8 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 2 7 9 When Pharaoh [06547] shall speak [01696] unto you, saying [0559], Shew [05414] a miracle [04159] for you: then thou shalt say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] thy rod [04294], and cast [07993] it before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], and it shall become a serpent [08577]. 2 7 10 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went in [0935] unto Pharaoh [06547], and they did [06213] so as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680]: and Aaron [0175] cast down [07993] his rod [04294] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], and before [06440] his servants [05650], and it became a serpent [08577]. 2 7 11 Then Pharaoh [06547] also called [07121] the wise men [02450] and the sorcerers [03784]: now the magicians [02748] of Egypt [04714], they also did [06213] in like manner [03651] with their enchantments [03858]. 2 7 12 For they cast down [07993] every man [0376] his rod [04294], and they became serpents [08577]: but Aaron's [0175] rod [04294] swallowed up [01104] their rods [04294]. 2 7 13 And he hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], that he hearkened [08085] not unto them; as the LORD [03068] had said [01696]. 2 7 14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820] is hardened [03515], he refuseth [03985] to let the people [05971] go [07971]. 2 7 15 Get [03212] thee unto Pharaoh [06547] in the morning [01242]; lo, he goeth out [03318] unto the water [04325]; and thou shalt stand [05324] by the river's [02975] brink [08193] against he come [07125]; and the rod [04294] which was turned [02015] to a serpent [05175] shalt thou take [03947] in thine hand [03027]. 2 7 16 And thou shalt say [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680] hath sent [07971] me unto thee, saying [0559], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me in the wilderness [04057]: and, behold, hitherto [03541] thou wouldest not hear [08085]. 2 7 17 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], In this thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]: behold, I will smite [05221] with the rod [04294] that is in mine hand [03027] upon the waters [04325] which are in the river [02975], and they shall be turned [02015] to blood [01818]. 2 7 18 And the fish [01710] that is in the river [02975] shall die [04191], and the river [02975] shall stink [0887]; and the Egyptians [04714] shall lothe [03811] to drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975]. 2 7 19 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], Say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] thy rod [04294], and stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] upon the waters [04325] of Egypt [04714], upon their streams [05104], upon their rivers [02975], and upon their ponds [098], and upon all their pools [04723] of water [04325], that they may become blood [01818]; and that there may be blood [01818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], both in vessels of wood [06086], and in vessels of stone [068]. 2 7 20 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] so, as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]; and he lifted up [07311] the rod [04294], and smote [05221] the waters [04325] that were in the river [02975], in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], and in the sight [05869] of his servants [05650]; and all the waters [04325] that were in the river [02975] were turned [02015] to blood [01818]. 2 7 21 And the fish [01710] that was in the river [02975] died [04191]; and the river [02975] stank [0887], and the Egyptians [04714] could [03201] not drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975]; and there was blood [01818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 7 22 And the magicians [02748] of Egypt [04714] did [06213] so with their enchantments [03909]: and Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820] was hardened [02388], neither did he hearken [08085] unto them; as the LORD [03068] had said [01696]. 2 7 23 And Pharaoh [06547] turned [06437] and went [0935] into his house [01004], neither did he set [07896] his heart [03820] to this [02063] also. 2 7 24 And all the Egyptians [04714] digged [02658] round about [05439] the river [02975] for water [04325] to drink [08354]; for they could [03201] not drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the river [02975]. 2 7 25 And seven [07651] days [03117] were fulfilled [04390], after [0310] that the LORD [03068] had smitten [05221] the river [02975]. 2 8 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [0935] unto Pharaoh [06547], and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me. 2 8 2 And if thou refuse [03986] to let them go [07971], behold, I will smite [05062] all thy borders [01366] with frogs [06854]: 2 8 3 And the river [02975] shall bring forth [08317] frogs [06854] abundantly [08317], which shall go up [05927] and come [0935] into thine house [01004], and into thy bedchamber [02315] [04904], and upon thy bed [04296], and into the house [01004] of thy servants [05650], and upon thy people [05971], and into thine ovens [08574], and into thy kneadingtroughs [04863]: 2 8 4 And the frogs [06854] shall come up [05927] both on thee, and upon thy people [05971], and upon all thy servants [05650]. 2 8 5 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], Say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Stretch forth [05186] thine hand [03027] with thy rod [04294] over the streams [05104], over the rivers [02975], and over the ponds [098], and cause frogs [06854] to come up [05927] upon the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 8 6 And Aaron [0175] stretched out [05186] his hand [03027] over the waters [04325] of Egypt [04714]; and the frogs [06854] came up [05927], and covered [03680] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 8 7 And the magicians [02748] did [06213] so with their enchantments [03909], and brought up [05927] frogs [06854] upon the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 8 8 Then Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] for Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], and said [0559], Intreat [06279] the LORD [03068], that he may take away [05493] the frogs [06854] from me, and from my people [05971]; and I will let the people [05971] go [07971], that they may do sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 8 9 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], Glory [06286] over me: when [04970] shall I intreat [06279] for thee, and for thy servants [05650], and for thy people [05971], to destroy [03772] the frogs [06854] from thee and thy houses [01004], that they may remain [07604] in the river [02975] only? 2 8 10 And he said [0559], To morrow [04279]. And he said [0559], Be it according to thy word [01697]: that thou mayest know [03045] that there is none like unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 2 8 11 And the frogs [06854] shall depart [05493] from thee, and from thy houses [01004], and from thy servants [05650], and from thy people [05971]; they shall remain [07604] in the river [02975] only. 2 8 12 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547]: and Moses [04872] cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068] because of [01697] the frogs [06854] which he had brought [07760] against Pharaoh [06547]. 2 8 13 And the LORD [03068] did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872]; and the frogs [06854] died [04191] out of the houses [01004], out of the villages [02691], and out of the fields [07704]. 2 8 14 And they gathered them together [06651] upon heaps [02563]: and the land [0776] stank [0887]. 2 8 15 But when Pharaoh [06547] saw [07200] that there was respite [07309], he hardened [03513] his heart [03820], and hearkened [08085] not unto them; as the LORD [03068] had said [01696]. 2 8 16 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Say [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Stretch out [05186] thy rod [04294], and smite [05221] the dust [06083] of the land [0776], that it may become lice [03654] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 8 17 And they did [06213] so; for Aaron [0175] stretched out [05186] his hand [03027] with his rod [04294], and smote [05221] the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and it became lice [03654] in man [0120], and in beast [0929]; all the dust [06083] of the land [0776] became lice [03654] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 8 18 And the magicians [02748] did [06213] so with their enchantments [03909] to bring forth [03318] lice [03654], but they could [03201] not: so there were lice [03654] upon man [0120], and upon beast [0929]. 2 8 19 Then the magicians [02748] said [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547], This is the finger [0676] of God [0430]: and Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820] was hardened [02388], and he hearkened [08085] not unto them; as the LORD [03068] had said [01696]. 2 8 20 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Rise up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and stand [03320] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]; lo, he cometh forth [03318] to the water [04325]; and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me. 2 8 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people [05971] go [07971], behold, I will send [07971] swarms [06157] of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants [05650], and upon thy people [05971], and into thy houses [01004]: and the houses [01004] of the Egyptians [04714] shall be full [04390] of swarms [06157] of flies, and also the ground [0127] whereon they are. 2 8 22 And I will sever [06395] in that day [03117] the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], in which my people [05971] dwell [05975], that no [01115] swarms [06157] of flies shall be [01961] there; to the end [04616] thou mayest know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] in the midst [07130] of the earth [0776]. 2 8 23 And I will put [07760] a division [06304] between my people [05971] and thy people [05971]: to morrow [04279] shall this sign [0226] be. 2 8 24 And the LORD [03068] did [06213] so; and there came [0935] a grievous [03515] swarm [06157] of flies into the house [01004] of Pharaoh [06547], and into his servants [05650]' houses [01004], and into all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: the land [0776] was corrupted [07843] by reason [06440] of the swarm [06157] of flies. 2 8 25 And Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] for [0413] Moses [04872] and for Aaron [0175], and said [0559], Go [03212] ye, sacrifice [02076] to your God [0430] in the land [0776]. 2 8 26 And Moses [04872] said [0559], It is not meet [03559] so to do [06213]; for [02005] we shall sacrifice [02076] the abomination [08441] of the Egyptians [04714] to the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: lo, shall we sacrifice [02076] the abomination [08441] of the Egyptians [04714] before their eyes [05869], and will they not stone [05619] us? 2 8 27 We will go [03212] three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870] into the wilderness [04057], and sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068] our God [0430], as he shall command [0559] us. 2 8 28 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559], I will let you go [07971], that ye may sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068] your God [0430] in the wilderness [04057]; only ye shall not go [03212] very [07368] far away [07368]: intreat [06279] for me [01157]. 2 8 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Behold, I go out [03318] from thee, and I will intreat [06279] the LORD [03068] that the swarms [06157] of flies may depart [05493] from Pharaoh [06547], from his servants [05650], and from his people [05971], to morrow [04279]: but [07535] let not Pharaoh [06547] deal deceitfully [02048] any more [03254] in not [01115] letting the people [05971] go [07971] to sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068]. 2 8 30 And Moses [04872] went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547], and intreated [06279] the LORD [03068]. 2 8 31 And the LORD [03068] did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872]; and he removed [05493] the swarms [06157] of flies from Pharaoh [06547], from his servants [05650], and from his people [05971]; there remained [07604] not one [0259]. 2 8 32 And Pharaoh [06547] hardened [03513] his heart [03820] at this time [06471] also, neither would he let the people [05971] go [07971]. 2 9 1 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [0935] in unto Pharaoh [06547], and tell [01696] him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me. 2 9 2 For if thou refuse [03986] to let them go [07971], and wilt hold [02388] them still, 2 9 3 Behold, the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] is [01961] upon thy cattle [04735] which is in the field [07704], upon the horses [05483], upon the asses [02543], upon the camels [01581], upon the oxen [01241], and upon the sheep [06629]: there shall be a very [03966] grievous [03515] murrain [01698]. 2 9 4 And the LORD [03068] shall sever [06395] between the cattle [04735] of Israel [03478] and the cattle [04735] of Egypt [04714]: and there shall nothing [01697] die [04191] of all that is the children's [01121] of Israel [03478]. 2 9 5 And the LORD [03068] appointed [07760] a set time [04150], saying [0559], To morrow [04279] the LORD [03068] shall do [06213] this thing [01697] in the land [0776]. 2 9 6 And the LORD [03068] did [06213] that thing [01697] on the morrow [04283], and all the cattle [04735] of Egypt [04714] died [04191]: but of the cattle [04735] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] died [04191] not one [0259]. 2 9 7 And Pharaoh [06547] sent [07971], and, behold, there was not one [0259] of the cattle [04735] of the Israelites [03478] dead [04191]. And the heart [03820] of Pharaoh [06547] was hardened [03513], and he did not let the people [05971] go [07971]. 2 9 8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] to you handfuls [02651] [04393] of ashes [06368] of the furnace [03536], and let Moses [04872] sprinkle [02236] it toward the heaven [08064] in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh [06547]. 2 9 9 And it shall become small dust [080] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and shall be a boil [07822] breaking forth [06524] with blains [076] upon man [0120], and upon beast [0929], throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 9 10 And they took [03947] ashes [06368] of the furnace [03536], and stood [05975] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]; and Moses [04872] sprinkled [02236] it up toward heaven [08064]; and it became a boil [07822] breaking forth [06524] with blains [076] upon man [0120], and upon beast [0929]. 2 9 11 And the magicians [02748] could [03201] not stand [05975] before [06440] Moses [04872] because [06440] of the boils [07822]; for the boil [07822] was upon the magicians [02748], and upon all the Egyptians [04714]. 2 9 12 And the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] the heart [03820] of Pharaoh [06547], and he hearkened [08085] not unto them; as the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto Moses [04872]. 2 9 13 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Rise up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and stand [03320] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547], and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me. 2 9 14 For I will at this time [06471] send [07971] all my plagues [04046] upon thine heart [03820], and upon thy servants [05650], and upon thy people [05971]; that thou mayest know [03045] that there is none like me in all the earth [0776]. 2 9 15 For now I will stretch out [07971] my hand [03027], that I may smite [05221] thee and thy people [05971] with pestilence [01698]; and thou shalt be cut off [03582] from the earth [0776]. 2 9 16 And in very [0199] deed [05668] for this cause have I raised thee up [05975], for to shew [07200] in thee my power [03581]; and that my name [08034] may be declared [05608] throughout all the earth [0776]. 2 9 17 As yet exaltest [05549] thou thyself against my people [05971], that thou wilt not let them go [07971]? 2 9 18 Behold, to morrow [04279] about this time [06256] I will cause it to rain [04305] a very [03966] grievous [03515] hail [01259], such as hath not been [03644] in Egypt [04714] since [04480] the foundation [03117] [03245] thereof even until now. 2 9 19 Send [07971] therefore now, and gather [05756] thy cattle [04735], and all that thou hast in the field [07704]; for upon every man [0120] and beast [0929] which shall be found [04672] in the field [07704], and shall not be brought [0622] home [01004], the hail [01259] shall come down [03381] upon them, and they shall die [04191]. 2 9 20 He that feared [03373] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] among the servants [05650] of Pharaoh [06547] made his servants [05650] and his cattle [04735] flee [05127] into the houses [01004]: 2 9 21 And he that regarded [07760] [03820] not the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] left [05800] his servants [05650] and his cattle [04735] in the field [07704]. 2 9 22 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Stretch forth [05186] thine hand [03027] toward heaven [08064], that there may be hail [01259] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], upon man [0120], and upon beast [0929], and upon every herb [06212] of the field [07704], throughout the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 9 23 And Moses [04872] stretched forth [05186] his rod [04294] toward heaven [08064]: and the LORD [03068] sent [05414] thunder [06963] and hail [01259], and the fire [0784] ran along [01980] upon the ground [0776]; and the LORD [03068] rained [04305] hail [01259] upon the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 9 24 So there was hail [01259], and fire [0784] [03947] mingled [08432] with the hail [01259], very [03966] grievous [03515], such as there was none [03808] like it in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] since it became a nation [01471]. 2 9 25 And the hail [01259] smote [05221] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] all that was in the field [07704], both man [0120] and beast [0929]; and the hail [01259] smote [05221] every herb [06212] of the field [07704], and brake [07665] every tree [06086] of the field [07704]. 2 9 26 Only in the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], where the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were, was there no hail [01259]. 2 9 27 And Pharaoh [06547] sent [07971], and called [07121] for Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], and said [0559] unto them, I have sinned [02398] this time [06471]: the LORD [03068] is righteous [06662], and I and my people [05971] are wicked [07563]. 2 9 28 Intreat [06279] the LORD [03068] (for it is enough [07227]) that there be no more mighty [0430] thunderings [06963] and hail [01259]; and I will let you go [07971], and ye shall stay [05975] no longer [03254]. 2 9 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto him, As soon as I am gone out [03318] of the city [05892], I will spread abroad [06566] my hands [03709] unto the LORD [03068]; and the thunder [06963] shall cease [02308], neither shall there be any more hail [01259]; that thou mayest know [03045] how that the earth [0776] is the LORD'S [03068]. 2 9 30 But as for thee and thy servants [05650], I know [03045] that ye will not yet fear [03372] [06440] the LORD [03068] God [0430]. 2 9 31 And the flax [06594] and the barley [08184] was smitten [05221]: for the barley [08184] was in the ear [024], and the flax [06594] was bolled [01392]. 2 9 32 But the wheat [02406] and the rie [03698] were not smitten [05221]: for they [02007] were not grown up [0648]. 2 9 33 And Moses [04872] went out [03318] of the city [05892] from Pharaoh [06547], and spread abroad [06566] his hands [03709] unto the LORD [03068]: and the thunders [06963] and hail [01259] ceased [02308], and the rain [04306] was not poured [05413] upon the earth [0776]. 2 9 34 And when Pharaoh [06547] saw [07200] that the rain [04306] and the hail [01259] and the thunders [06963] were ceased [02308], he sinned [02398] yet more [03254], and hardened [03513] his heart [03820], he and his servants [05650]. 2 9 35 And the heart [03820] of Pharaoh [06547] was hardened [02388], neither would he let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] go [07971]; as the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] by [03027] Moses [04872]. 2 10 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [0935] in unto Pharaoh [06547]: for I have hardened [03513] his heart [03820], and the heart [03820] of his servants [05650], that I might shew [07896] these my signs [0226] before [07130] him: 2 10 2 And that thou mayest tell [05608] in the ears [0241] of thy son [01121], and of thy son's [01121] son [01121], what things I have wrought [05953] in Egypt [04714], and my signs [0226] which I have done [07760] among them; that ye may know [03045] how that I am the LORD [03068]. 2 10 3 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] came in [0935] unto Pharaoh [06547], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680], How long [04970] wilt thou refuse [03985] to humble [06031] thyself before [06440] me? let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me. 2 10 4 Else [03588], if thou refuse [03986] to let my people [05971] go [07971], behold, to morrow [04279] will I bring [0935] the locusts [0697] into thy coast [01366]: 2 10 5 And they shall cover [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776], that one cannot be able [03201] to see [07200] the earth [0776]: and they shall eat [0398] the residue [03499] of that which is escaped [06413], which remaineth [07604] unto you from the hail [01259], and shall eat [0398] every tree [06086] which groweth [06779] for you out of the field [07704]: 2 10 6 And they shall fill [04390] thy houses [01004], and the houses [01004] of all thy servants [05650], and the houses [01004] of all the Egyptians [04714]; which neither thy fathers [01], nor thy fathers [01]' fathers [01] have seen [07200], since the day [03117] that they were upon the earth [0127] unto this day [03117]. And he turned [06437] himself, and went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547]. 2 10 7 And Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650] said [0559] unto him, How long shall this man be a snare [04170] unto us? let the men [0582] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] the LORD [03068] their God [0430]: knowest [03045] thou not yet [02962] that Egypt [04714] is destroyed [06]? 2 10 8 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] were brought again [07725] unto Pharaoh [06547]: and he said [0559] unto them, Go [03212], serve [05647] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: but who are they that shall go [01980]? 2 10 9 And Moses [04872] said [0559], We will go [03212] with our young [05288] and with our old [02205], with our sons [01121] and with our daughters [01323], with our flocks [06629] and with our herds [01241] will we go [03212]; for we must hold a feast [02282] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 10 10 And he said [0559] unto them, Let the LORD [03068] be so with you, as I will let you go [07971], and your little ones [02945]: look [07200] to it; for evil [07451] is before [06440] you. 2 10 11 Not so: go [03212] now ye that are men [01397], and serve [05647] the LORD [03068]; for that ye did desire [01245]. And they were driven out [01644] from Pharaoh's [06547] presence [06440]. 2 10 12 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] over the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] for the locusts [0697], that they may come up [05927] upon the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and eat [0398] every herb [06212] of the land [0776], even all that the hail [01259] hath left [07604]. 2 10 13 And Moses [04872] stretched forth [05186] his rod [04294] over the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and the LORD [03068] brought [05090] an east [06921] wind [07307] upon the land [0776] all that day [03117], and all that night [03915]; and when it was morning [01242], the east [06921] wind [07307] brought [05375] the locusts [0697]. 2 10 14 And the locusts [0697] went up [05927] over all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and rested [05117] in all the coasts [01366] of Egypt [04714]: very [03966] grievous [03515] were they; before [06440] them there were no such [03651] locusts [0697] as they, neither after [0310] them shall be such. 2 10 15 For they covered [03680] the face [05869] of the whole earth [0776], so that the land [0776] was darkened [02821]; and they did eat [0398] every herb [06212] of the land [0776], and all the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] which the hail [01259] had left [03498]: and there remained [03498] not any green thing [03418] in the trees [06086], or in the herbs [06212] of the field [07704], through all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 10 16 Then Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] for Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] in haste [04116]; and he said [0559], I have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and against you. 2 10 17 Now therefore forgive [05375], I pray thee, my sin [02403] only this once [06471], and intreat [06279] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], that he may take away [05493] from me this death [04194] only. 2 10 18 And he went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547], and intreated [06279] the LORD [03068]. 2 10 19 And the LORD [03068] turned [02015] a mighty [03966] strong [02389] west [03220] wind [07307], which took away [05375] the locusts [0697], and cast [08628] them into the Red [05488] sea [03220]; there remained [07604] not one [0259] locust [0697] in all the coasts [01366] of Egypt [04714]. 2 10 20 But the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], so that he would not let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] go [07971]. 2 10 21 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] toward heaven [08064], that there may be darkness [02822] over the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], even darkness [02822] which may be felt [04959]. 2 10 22 And Moses [04872] stretched forth [05186] his hand [03027] toward heaven [08064]; and there was a thick [0653] darkness [02822] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] three [07969] days [03117]: 2 10 23 They saw [07200] not one [0376] another [0251], neither rose [06965] any [0376] from his place for three [07969] days [03117]: but all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had light [0216] in their dwellings [04186]. 2 10 24 And Pharaoh [06547] called [07121] unto Moses [04872], and said [0559], Go [03212] ye, serve [05647] the LORD [03068]; only let your flocks [06629] and your herds [01241] be stayed [03322]: let your little ones [02945] also go [03212] with you. 2 10 25 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou must give [05414] us [03027] also sacrifices [02077] and burnt offerings [05930], that we may sacrifice [06213] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 2 10 26 Our cattle [04735] also shall go [03212] with us; there shall not an hoof [06541] be left behind [07604]; for thereof must we take [03947] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; and we know [03045] not with what we must serve [05647] the LORD [03068], until we come [0935] thither. 2 10 27 But the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], and he would [014] not let them go [07971]. 2 10 28 And Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto him, Get [03212] thee from me, take heed [08104] to thyself, see [07200] my face [06440] no more [03254]; for in that day [03117] thou seest [07200] my face [06440] thou shalt die [04191]. 2 10 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thou hast spoken [01696] well [03651], I will see [07200] thy face [06440] again [03254] no more. 2 11 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Yet will I bring [0935] one [0259] plague [05061] more upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon Egypt [04714]; afterwards [0310] he will let you go [07971] hence: when he shall let you go [07971], he shall surely [01644] thrust you out [01644] hence altogether [03617]. 2 11 2 Speak [01696] now in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], and let every man [0376] borrow [07592] of his neighbour [07453], and every woman [0802] of her neighbour [07468], jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091]. 2 11 3 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] the people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714]. Moreover the man [0376] Moses [04872] was very [03966] great [01419] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh's [06547] servants [05650], and in the sight [05869] of the people [05971]. 2 11 4 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], About midnight [03915] [02676] will I go out [03318] into the midst [08432] of Egypt [04714]: 2 11 5 And all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall die [04191], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sitteth [03427] upon his throne [03678], even unto the firstborn [01060] of the maidservant [08198] that is behind [0310] the mill [07347]; and all the firstborn [01060] of beasts [0929]. 2 11 6 And there shall be [01961] a great [01419] cry [06818] throughout all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], such as there was none [03808] like it, nor [03808] shall be like it any more [03254]. 2 11 7 But against any of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall not a dog [03611] move [02782] his tongue [03956], against man [0376] or beast [0929]: that ye may know [03045] how that the LORD [03068] doth put a difference [06395] between the Egyptians [04714] and Israel [03478]. 2 11 8 And all these thy servants [05650] shall come down [03381] unto me, and bow down [07812] themselves unto me, saying [0559], Get thee out [03318], and all the people [05971] that follow [07272] thee: and after [0310] that I will go out [03318]. And he went out [03318] from Pharaoh [06547] in a great [02750] anger [0639]. 2 11 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Pharaoh [06547] shall not hearken [08085] unto you; that my wonders [04159] may be multiplied [07235] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 11 10 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did [06213] all these wonders [04159] before [06440] Pharaoh [06547]: and the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], so that he would not let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] go out [07971] of his land [0776]. 2 12 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559], 2 12 2 This month [02320] shall be unto you the beginning [07218] of months [02320]: it shall be the first [07223] month [02320] of the year [08141] to you. 2 12 3 Speak [01696] ye unto all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], In the tenth [06218] day of this month [02320] they shall take [03947] to them every man [0376] a lamb [07716], according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], a lamb [07716] for an house [01004]: 2 12 4 And if the household [01004] be [01961] too little [04591] for the lamb [07716], let him and his neighbour [07934] next [07138] unto his house [01004] take [03947] it according to the number [04373] of the souls [05315]; every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400] shall make your count [03699] for the lamb [07716]. 2 12 5 Your lamb [07716] shall be without blemish [08549], a male [02145] of the first [01121] year [08141]: ye shall take [03947] it out from the sheep [03532], or from the goats [05795]: 2 12 6 And ye shall keep [04931] it up until the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the same month [02320]: and the whole [03605] assembly [06951] of the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] shall kill [07819] it in [0996] the evening [06153]. 2 12 7 And they shall take [03947] of the blood [01818], and strike [05414] it on the two [08147] side posts [04201] and on the upper door post [04947] of the houses [01004], wherein they shall eat [0398] it. 2 12 8 And they shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] in that night [03915], roast [06748] with fire [0784], and unleavened bread [04682]; and with bitter [04844] herbs they shall eat [0398] it. 2 12 9 Eat [0398] not of it raw [04995], nor sodden [01310] [01311] at all with water [04325], but roast [06748] with fire [0784]; his head [07218] with his legs [03767], and with the purtenance [07130] thereof. 2 12 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain [03498] until the morning [01242]; and that which remaineth [03498] of it until the morning [01242] ye shall burn [08313] with fire [0784]. 2 12 11 And thus [03602] shall ye eat [0398] it; with your loins [04975] girded [02296], your shoes [05275] on your feet [07272], and your staff [04731] in your hand [03027]; and ye shall eat [0398] it in haste [02649]: it is the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453]. 2 12 12 For I will pass [05674] through the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] this night [03915], and will smite [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], both man [0120] and beast [0929]; and against all the gods [0430] of Egypt [04714] I will execute [06213] judgment [08201]: I am the LORD [03068]. 2 12 13 And the blood [01818] shall be to you for a token [0226] upon the houses [01004] where ye are: and when I see [07200] the blood [01818], I will pass [06452] over you, and the plague [05063] shall not be upon you to destroy [04889] you, when I smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 12 14 And this day [03117] shall be unto you for a memorial [02146]; and ye shall keep [02287] it a feast [02282] to the LORD [03068] throughout your generations [01755]; ye shall keep it a feast [02287] by an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769]. 2 12 15 Seven [07651] days [03117] shall ye eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682]; even [0389] the first [07223] day [03117] ye shall put away [07673] leaven [07603] out of your houses [01004]: for whosoever eateth [0398] leavened bread [02557] from the first [07223] day [03117] until the seventh [07637] day [03117], that soul [05315] shall be cut [03772] off from Israel [03478]. 2 12 16 And in the first [07223] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744], and in the seventh [07637] day [03117] there shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] to you; no manner of work [04399] shall be done [06213] in them, save [0389] that which every man [05315] must eat [0398], that only may be done [06213] of you. 2 12 17 And ye shall observe [08104] the feast of unleavened bread [04682]; for in this selfsame [06106] day [03117] have I brought [03318] your armies [06635] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: therefore shall ye observe [08104] this day [03117] in your generations [01755] by an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769]. 2 12 18 In the first [07223] month, on the fourteenth [06240] [0702] day [03117] of the month [02320] at even [06153], ye shall eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682], until the one [0259] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the month [02320] at even [06153]. 2 12 19 Seven [07651] days [03117] shall there be no leaven [07603] found [04672] in your houses [01004]: for whosoever eateth [0398] that which is leavened [02556], even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], whether he be a stranger [01616], or born [0249] in the land [0776]. 2 12 20 Ye shall eat [0398] nothing leavened [02556]; in all your habitations [04186] shall ye eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682]. 2 12 21 Then Moses [04872] called [07121] for all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Draw out [04900] and take [03947] you a lamb [06629] according to your families [04940], and kill [07819] the passover [06453]. 2 12 22 And ye shall take [03947] a bunch [092] of hyssop [0231], and dip [02881] it in the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592], and strike [05060] the lintel [04947] and the two [08147] side posts [04201] with the blood [01818] that is in the bason [05592]; and none [0376] of you shall go out [03318] at the door [06607] of his house [01004] until the morning [01242]. 2 12 23 For the LORD [03068] will pass through [05674] to smite [05062] the Egyptians [04714]; and when he seeth [07200] the blood [01818] upon the lintel [04947], and on the two [08147] side posts [04201], the LORD [03068] will pass over [06452] the door [06607], and will not suffer [05414] the destroyer [07843] to come [0935] in unto your houses [01004] to smite [05062] you. 2 12 24 And ye shall observe [08104] this thing [01697] for an ordinance [02706] to thee and to thy sons [01121] for [05704] ever [05769]. 2 12 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come [0935] to the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] will give [05414] you, according as he hath promised [01696], that ye shall keep [08104] this service [05656]. 2 12 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children [01121] shall say [0559] unto you, What mean ye by this service [05656]? 2 12 27 That ye shall say [0559], It is the sacrifice [02077] of the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453], who passed [06452] over the houses [01004] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in Egypt [04714], when he smote [05062] the Egyptians [04714], and delivered [05337] our houses [01004]. And the people [05971] bowed the head [06915] and worshipped [07812]. 2 12 28 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went away [03212], and did [06213] as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], so did [06213] they. 2 12 29 And it came to pass, that at midnight [02677] [03915] the LORD [03068] smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sat [03427] on his throne [03678] unto the firstborn [01060] of the captive [07628] that was in the dungeon [01004] [0953]; and all the firstborn [01060] of cattle [0929]. 2 12 30 And Pharaoh [06547] rose up [06965] in the night [03915], he, and all his servants [05650], and all the Egyptians [04714]; and there was a great [01419] cry [06818] in Egypt [04714]; for there was not a house [01004] where there was not one dead [04191]. 2 12 31 And he called [07121] for Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] by night [03915], and said [0559], Rise up [06965], and get you forth [03318] from among [08432] my people [05971], both ye and the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and go [03212], serve [05647] the LORD [03068], as ye have said [01696]. 2 12 32 Also take [03947] your flocks [06629] and your herds [01241], as ye have said [01696], and be gone [03212]; and bless [01288] me also. 2 12 33 And the Egyptians [04714] were urgent [02388] upon the people [05971], that they might send [07971] them out of the land [0776] in haste [04116]; for they said [0559], We be all dead [04191] men. 2 12 34 And the people [05971] took [05375] their dough [01217] before it was leavened [02556], their kneadingtroughs [04863] being bound up [06887] in their clothes [08071] upon their shoulders [07926]. 2 12 35 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872]; and they borrowed [07592] of the Egyptians [04714] jewels [03627] of silver [03701], and jewels [03627] of gold [02091], and raiment [08071]: 2 12 36 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] the people [05971] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the Egyptians [04714], so that they lent [07592] unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled [05337] the Egyptians [04714]. 2 12 37 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265] from Rameses [07486] to Succoth [05523], about six [08337] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] on foot [07273] that were men [01397], beside [0905] children [02945]. 2 12 38 And a mixed [06154] multitude [07227] went up [05927] also with them; and flocks [06629], and herds [01241], even very [03966] much [03515] cattle [04735]. 2 12 39 And they baked [0644] unleavened [04682] cakes [05692] of the dough [01217] which they brought forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], for it was not leavened [02556]; because they were thrust out [01644] of Egypt [04714], and could [03201] not tarry [04102], neither had they prepared [06213] for themselves any victual [06720]. 2 12 40 Now the sojourning [04186] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714], was four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141]. 2 12 41 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of the four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and thirty [07970] years [08141], even the selfsame [06106] day [03117] it came to pass, that all the hosts [06635] of the LORD [03068] went out [03318] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 12 42 It is a night [03915] to be much observed [08107] unto the LORD [03068] for bringing [03318] them out from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: this is that night [03915] of the LORD [03068] to be observed [08107] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in their generations [01755]. 2 12 43 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], This is the ordinance [02708] of the passover [06453]: There shall no stranger [01121] [05236] eat [0398] thereof: 2 12 44 But every man's [0376] servant [05650] that is bought [04736] for money [03701], when thou hast circumcised [04135] him, then shall he eat [0398] thereof. 2 12 45 A foreigner [08453] and an hired servant [07916] shall not eat [0398] thereof. 2 12 46 In one [0259] house [01004] shall it be eaten [0398]; thou shalt not carry forth [03318] ought of the flesh [01320] abroad [02351] out of the house [01004]; neither shall ye break [07665] a bone [06106] thereof. 2 12 47 All the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] shall keep [06213] it. 2 12 48 And when a stranger [01616] shall sojourn [01481] with thee, and will keep [06213] the passover [06453] to the LORD [03068], let all his males [02145] be circumcised [04135], and then let him come near [07126] and keep [06213] it; and he shall be as one that is born [0249] in the land [0776]: for no uncircumcised person [06189] shall eat [0398] thereof. 2 12 49 One [0259] law [08451] shall be to him that is homeborn [0249], and unto the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] you. 2 12 50 Thus did [06213] all the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], so did [06213] they. 2 12 51 And it came to pass the selfsame [06106] day [03117], that the LORD [03068] did bring [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] by their armies [06635]. 2 13 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 13 2 Sanctify [06942] unto me all the firstborn [01060], whatsoever openeth [06363] the womb [07358] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478], both of man [0120] and of beast [0929]: it is mine. 2 13 3 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Remember [02142] this [02088] day [03117], in which ye came out [03318] from Egypt [04714], out of the house [01004] of bondage [05650]; for by strength [02392] of hand [03027] the LORD [03068] brought you out [03318] from this place: there shall no leavened bread [02557] be eaten [0398]. 2 13 4 This day [03117] came ye out [03318] in the month [02320] Abib [024]. 2 13 5 And it shall be when the LORD [03068] shall bring [0935] thee into the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983], which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01] to give [05414] thee, a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], that thou shalt keep [05647] this service [05656] in this month [02320]. 2 13 6 Seven [07651] days [03117] thou shalt eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682], and in the seventh [07637] day [03117] shall be a feast [02282] to the LORD [03068]. 2 13 7 Unleavened bread [04682] shall be eaten [0398] seven [07651] days [03117]; and there shall no leavened bread [02557] be seen [07200] with thee, neither shall there be leaven [07603] seen [07200] with thee in all thy quarters [01366]. 2 13 8 And thou shalt shew [05046] thy son [01121] in that day [03117], saying [0559], This is done because of [05668] that [02088] which the LORD [03068] did [06213] unto me when I came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]. 2 13 9 And it shall be for a sign [0226] unto thee upon thine hand [03027], and for a memorial [02146] between thine eyes [05869], that the LORD'S [03068] law [08451] may be in thy mouth [06310]: for with a strong [02389] hand [03027] hath the LORD [03068] brought thee out [03318] of Egypt [04714]. 2 13 10 Thou shalt therefore keep [08104] this ordinance [02708] in his season [04150] from year [03117] to year [03117]. 2 13 11 And it shall be when the LORD [03068] shall bring [0935] thee into the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], as he sware [07650] unto thee and to thy fathers [01], and shall give [05414] it thee, 2 13 12 That thou shalt set apart [05674] unto the LORD [03068] all that openeth [06363] the matrix [07358], and every firstling [06363] that cometh [07698] of a beast [0929] which thou hast; the males [02145] shall be the LORD'S [03068]. 2 13 13 And every firstling [06363] of an ass [02543] thou shalt redeem [06299] with a lamb [07716]; and if thou wilt not redeem [06299] it, then thou shalt break his neck [06202]: and all the firstborn [01060] of man [0120] among thy children [01121] shalt thou redeem [06299]. 2 13 14 And it shall be when thy son [01121] asketh [07592] thee in time to come [04279], saying [0559], What is this? that thou shalt say [0559] unto him, By strength [02392] of hand [03027] the LORD [03068] brought us out [03318] from Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]: 2 13 15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh [06547] would hardly [07185] let us go [07971], that the LORD [03068] slew [02026] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], both the firstborn [01060] of man [0120], and the firstborn [01060] of beast [0929]: therefore I sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068] all that openeth [06363] the matrix [07358], being males [02145]; but all the firstborn [01060] of my children [01121] I redeem [06299]. 2 13 16 And it shall be for a token [0226] upon thine hand [03027], and for frontlets [02903] between thine eyes [05869]: for by strength [02392] of hand [03027] the LORD [03068] brought us forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]. 2 13 17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh [06547] had let the people [05971] go [07971], that God [0430] led [05148] them not through the way [01870] of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], although [03588] that was near [07138]; for God [0430] said [0559], Lest peradventure the people [05971] repent [05162] when they see [07200] war [04421], and they return [07725] to Egypt [04714]: 2 13 18 But God [0430] led [05437] the people [05971] about [05437], through the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057] of the Red [05488] sea [03220]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went up [05927] harnessed [02571] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 13 19 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the bones [06106] of Joseph [03130] with him: for he had straitly [07650] sworn [07650] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], God [0430] will surely [06485] visit [06485] you; and ye shall carry up [05927] my bones [06106] away [05927] hence with you. 2 13 20 And they took their journey [05265] from Succoth [05523], and encamped [02583] in Etham [0864], in the edge [07097] of the wilderness [04057]. 2 13 21 And the LORD [03068] went [01980] before [06440] them by day [03119] in a pillar [05982] of a cloud [06051], to lead [05148] them the way [01870]; and by night [03915] in a pillar [05982] of fire [0784], to give them light [0215]; to go [03212] by day [03119] and night [03915]: 2 13 22 He took not away [04185] the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051] by day [03119], nor the pillar [05982] of fire [0784] by night [03915], from before [06440] the people [05971]. 2 14 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 14 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they turn [07725] and encamp [02583] before [06440] Pihahiroth [06367], between Migdol [04024] and the sea [03220], over against [06440] Baalzephon [01189]: before [05226] it shall ye encamp [02583] by the sea [03220]. 2 14 3 For Pharaoh [06547] will say [0559] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], They are entangled [0943] in the land [0776], the wilderness [04057] hath shut them in [05462]. 2 14 4 And I will harden [02388] Pharaoh's [06547] heart [03820], that he shall follow [07291] after [0310] them; and I will be honoured [03513] upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his host [02428]; that the Egyptians [04714] may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. And they did [06213] so. 2 14 5 And it was told [05046] the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] that the people [05971] fled [01272]: and the heart [03824] of Pharaoh [06547] and of his servants [05650] was turned [02015] against the people [05971], and they said [0559], Why have we done [06213] this, that we have let Israel [03478] go [07971] from serving [05647] us? 2 14 6 And he made ready [0631] his chariot [07393], and took [03947] his people [05971] with him: 2 14 7 And he took [03947] six [08337] hundred [03967] chosen [0977] chariots [07393], and all the chariots [07393] of Egypt [04714], and captains [07991] over every one of them. 2 14 8 And the LORD [03068] hardened [02388] the heart [03820] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and he pursued [07291] after [0310] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went out [03318] with an high [07311] hand [03027]. 2 14 9 But the Egyptians [04714] pursued [07291] after [0310] them, all the horses [05483] and chariots [07393] of Pharaoh [06547], and his horsemen [06571], and his army [02428], and overtook [05381] them encamping [02583] by the sea [03220], beside Pihahiroth [06367], before [06440] Baalzephon [01189]. 2 14 10 And when Pharaoh [06547] drew nigh [07126], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] lifted up [05375] their eyes [05869], and, behold, the Egyptians [04714] marched [05265] after [0310] them; and they were sore [03966] afraid [03372]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried out [06817] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 14 11 And they said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Because there were no graves [06913] in Egypt [04714], hast thou taken us away [03947] to die [04191] in the wilderness [04057]? wherefore [02063] hast thou dealt [06213] thus with us, to carry us forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]? 2 14 12 Is not this the word [01697] that we did tell [01696] thee in Egypt [04714], saying [0559], Let us alone [02308], that we may serve [05647] the Egyptians [04714]? For it had been better [02896] for us to serve [05647] the Egyptians [04714], than that we should die [04191] in the wilderness [04057]. 2 14 13 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Fear [03372] ye not, stand still [03320], and see [07200] the salvation [03444] of the LORD [03068], which he will shew [06213] to you to day [03117]: for the Egyptians [04714] whom ye have seen [07200] to day [03117], ye shall see [07200] them again [03254] no more for [05704] ever [05769]. 2 14 14 The LORD [03068] shall fight [03898] for you, and ye shall hold your peace [02790]. 2 14 15 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Wherefore criest [06817] thou unto me? speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they go forward [05265]: 2 14 16 But lift thou up [07311] thy rod [04294], and stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] over the sea [03220], and divide [01234] it: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall go [0935] on dry [03004] ground through the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]. 2 14 17 And I, behold, I will harden [02388] the hearts [03820] of the Egyptians [04714], and they shall follow [0935] them [0310]: and I will get me honour [03513] upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his host [02428], upon his chariots [07393], and upon his horsemen [06571]. 2 14 18 And the Egyptians [04714] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have gotten me honour [03513] upon Pharaoh [06547], upon his chariots [07393], and upon his horsemen [06571]. 2 14 19 And the angel [04397] of God [0430], which went [01980] before [06440] the camp [04264] of Israel [03478], removed [05265] and went [03212] behind [0310] them; and the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051] went [05265] from before their face [06440], and stood [05975] behind [0310] them: 2 14 20 And it came [0935] between the camp [04264] of the Egyptians [04714] and the camp [04264] of Israel [03478]; and it was a cloud [06051] and darkness [02822] to them, but it gave light [0215] by night [03915] to these: so that the one came not near [07126] the other [02088] all the night [03915]. 2 14 21 And Moses [04872] stretched out [05186] his hand [03027] over the sea [03220]; and the LORD [03068] caused the sea [03220] to go [03212] back by a strong [05794] east [06921] wind [07307] all that night [03915], and made [07760] the sea [03220] dry [02724] land, and the waters [04325] were divided [01234]. 2 14 22 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went [0935] into the midst [08432] of the sea [03220] upon the dry [03004] ground: and the waters [04325] were a wall [02346] unto them on their right hand [03225], and on their left [08040]. 2 14 23 And the Egyptians [04714] pursued [07291], and went in [0935] after [0310] them to the midst [08432] of the sea [03220], even all Pharaoh's [06547] horses [05483], his chariots [07393], and his horsemen [06571]. 2 14 24 And it came to pass, that in the morning [01242] watch [0821] the LORD [03068] looked [08259] unto the host [04264] of the Egyptians [04714] through the pillar [05982] of fire [0784] and of the cloud [06051], and troubled [02000] the host [04264] of the Egyptians [04714], 2 14 25 And took off [05493] their chariot [04818] wheels [0212], that they drave [05090] them heavily [03517]: so that the Egyptians [04714] said [0559], Let us flee [05127] from the face [06440] of Israel [03478]; for the LORD [03068] fighteth [03898] for them against the Egyptians [04714]. 2 14 26 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Stretch out [05186] thine hand [03027] over the sea [03220], that the waters [04325] may come again [07725] upon the Egyptians [04714], upon their chariots [07393], and upon their horsemen [06571]. 2 14 27 And Moses [04872] stretched forth [05186] his hand [03027] over the sea [03220], and the sea [03220] returned [07725] to his strength [0386] when the morning [01242] appeared [06437]; and the Egyptians [04714] fled [05127] against [07125] it; and the LORD [03068] overthrew [05287] the Egyptians [04714] in the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]. 2 14 28 And the waters [04325] returned [07725], and covered [03680] the chariots [07393], and the horsemen [06571], and all the host [02428] of Pharaoh [06547] that came [0935] into the sea [03220] after [0310] them; there remained [07604] not so much as [05704] one [0259] of them. 2 14 29 But the children [01121] of Israel [03478] walked [01980] upon dry [03004] land in the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]; and the waters [04325] were a wall [02346] unto them on their right hand [03225], and on their left [08040]. 2 14 30 Thus the LORD [03068] saved [03467] Israel [03478] that day [03117] out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714]; and Israel [03478] saw [07200] the Egyptians [04714] dead [04191] upon the sea [03220] shore [08193]. 2 14 31 And Israel [03478] saw [07200] that great [01419] work [03027] which the LORD [03068] did [06213] upon the Egyptians [04714]: and the people [05971] feared [03372] the LORD [03068], and believed [0539] the LORD [03068], and his servant [05650] Moses [04872]. 2 15 1 Then sang [07891] Moses [04872] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] this song [07892] unto the LORD [03068], and spake [0559], saying [0559], I will sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], for he hath triumphed [01342] gloriously [01342]: the horse [05483] and his rider [07392] hath he thrown [07411] into the sea [03220]. 2 15 2 The LORD [03050] is my strength [05797] and song [02176], and he is become my salvation [03444]: he [02088] is my God [0410], and I will prepare him an habitation [05115]; my father's [01] God [0430], and I will exalt [07311] him. 2 15 3 The LORD [03068] is a man [0376] of war [04421]: the LORD [03068] is his name [08034]. 2 15 4 Pharaoh's [06547] chariots [04818] and his host [02428] hath he cast [03384] into the sea [03220]: his chosen [04005] captains [07991] also are drowned [02883] in the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 2 15 5 The depths [08415] have covered [03680] them: they sank [03381] into the bottom [04688] as [03644] a stone [068]. 2 15 6 Thy right hand [03225], O LORD [03068], is become glorious [0142] in power [03581]: thy right hand [03225], O LORD [03068], hath dashed in pieces [07492] the enemy [0341]. 2 15 7 And in the greatness [07230] of thine excellency [01347] thou hast overthrown [02040] them that rose up against [06965] thee: thou sentest forth [07971] thy wrath [02740], which consumed [0398] them as stubble [07179]. 2 15 8 And with the blast [07307] of thy nostrils [0639] the waters [04325] were gathered together [06192], the floods [05140] stood upright [05324] as an heap [05067], and the depths [08415] were congealed [07087] in the heart [03820] of the sea [03220]. 2 15 9 The enemy [0341] said [0559], I will pursue [07291], I will overtake [05381], I will divide [02505] the spoil [07998]; my lust [05315] shall be satisfied [04390] upon them; I will draw [07324] my sword [02719], my hand [03027] shall destroy [03423] them. 2 15 10 Thou didst blow [05398] with thy wind [07307], the sea [03220] covered [03680] them: they sank [06749] as lead [05777] in the mighty [0117] waters [04325]. 2 15 11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD [03068], among the gods [0410]? who is like thee, glorious [0142] in holiness [06944], fearful [03372] in praises [08416], doing [06213] wonders [06382]? 2 15 12 Thou stretchedst out [05186] thy right hand [03225], the earth [0776] swallowed [01104] them. 2 15 13 Thou in thy mercy [02617] hast led forth [05148] the people [05971] which [02098] thou hast redeemed [01350]: thou hast guided [05095] them in thy strength [05797] unto thy holy [06944] habitation [05116]. 2 15 14 The people [05971] shall hear [08085], and be afraid [07264]: sorrow [02427] shall take hold [0270] on the inhabitants [03427] of Palestina [06429]. 2 15 15 Then [0227] the dukes [0441] of Edom [0123] shall be amazed [0926]; the mighty men [0352] of Moab [04124], trembling [07461] shall take hold [0270] upon them; all the inhabitants [03427] of Canaan [03667] shall melt away [04127]. 2 15 16 Fear [0367] and dread [06343] shall fall [05307] upon them; by the greatness [01419] of thine arm [02220] they shall be as still [01826] as a stone [068]; till thy people [05971] pass over [05674], O LORD [03068], till the people [05971] pass over [05674], which [02098] thou hast purchased [07069]. 2 15 17 Thou shalt bring [0935] them in, and plant [05193] them in the mountain [02022] of thine inheritance [05159], in the place [04349], O LORD [03068], which thou hast made [06466] for thee to dwell in [03427], in the Sanctuary [04720], O Lord [0136], which thy hands [03027] have established [03559]. 2 15 18 The LORD [03068] shall reign [04427] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 2 15 19 For the horse [05483] of Pharaoh [06547] went in [0935] with his chariots [07393] and with his horsemen [06571] into the sea [03220], and the LORD [03068] brought again [07725] the waters [04325] of the sea [03220] upon them; but the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went [01980] on dry [03004] land in the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]. 2 15 20 And Miriam [04813] the prophetess [05031], the sister [0269] of Aaron [0175], took [03947] a timbrel [08596] in her hand [03027]; and all the women [0802] went out [03318] after [0310] her with timbrels [08596] and with dances [04246]. 2 15 21 And Miriam [04813] answered [06030] them, Sing [07891] ye to the LORD [03068], for he hath triumphed [01342] gloriously [01342]; the horse [05483] and his rider [07392] hath he thrown [07411] into the sea [03220]. 2 15 22 So Moses [04872] brought [05265] Israel [03478] from the Red [05488] sea [03220], and they went out [03318] into the wilderness [04057] of Shur [07793]; and they went [03212] three [07969] days [03117] in the wilderness [04057], and found [04672] no water [04325]. 2 15 23 And when they came [0935] to Marah [04785], they could [03201] not drink [08354] of the waters [04325] of Marah [04785], for they were bitter [04751]: therefore the name [08034] of it was called [07121] Marah [04785]. 2 15 24 And the people [05971] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872], saying [0559], What shall we drink [08354]? 2 15 25 And he cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] shewed [03384] him a tree [06086], which when he had cast [07993] into the waters [04325], the waters [04325] were made sweet [04985]: there he made [07760] for them a statute [02706] and an ordinance [04941], and there he proved [05254] them, 2 15 26 And said [0559], If thou wilt diligently [08085] hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and wilt do [06213] that which is right [03477] in his sight [05869], and wilt give ear [0238] to his commandments [04687], and keep [08104] all his statutes [02706], I will put [07760] none of these diseases [04245] upon thee, which I have brought [07760] upon the Egyptians [04714]: for I am the LORD [03068] that healeth [07495] thee. 2 15 27 And they came [0935] to Elim [0362], where were twelve [08147] [06240] wells [05869] of water [04325], and threescore and ten [07657] palm trees [08558]: and they encamped [02583] there by the waters [04325]. 2 16 1 And they took their journey [05265] from Elim [0362], and all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came [0935] unto the wilderness [04057] of Sin [05512], which is between Elim [0362] and Sinai [05514], on the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the second [08145] month [02320] after their departing out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 16 2 And the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] in the wilderness [04057]: 2 16 3 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto them, Would to God [04310] [05414] we had died [04191] by the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], when we sat [03427] by the flesh [01320] pots [05518], and when we did eat [0398] bread [03899] to the full [07648]; for ye have brought us forth [03318] into this wilderness [04057], to kill [04191] this whole assembly [06951] with hunger [07458]. 2 16 4 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto Moses [04872], Behold, I will rain [04305] bread [03899] from heaven [08064] for you; and the people [05971] shall go out [03318] and gather [03950] a certain rate [01697] every day [03117] [03117], that I may prove [05254] them, whether they will walk [03212] in my law [08451], or no. 2 16 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth [08345] day [03117] they shall prepare [03559] that which [0834] they bring in [0935]; and it shall be twice [04932] as much as they gather [03950] daily [03117] [03117]. 2 16 6 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] said [0559] unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], At even [06153], then ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath brought you out [03318] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: 2 16 7 And in the morning [01242], then ye shall see [07200] the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068]; for that he heareth [08085] your murmurings [08519] against the LORD [03068]: and what are we [05168], that ye murmur [03885] [03885] against us? 2 16 8 And Moses [04872] said [0559], This shall be, when the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] you in the evening [06153] flesh [01320] to eat [0398], and in the morning [01242] bread [03899] to the full [07646]; for that the LORD [03068] heareth [08085] your murmurings [08519] which ye murmur [03885] against him: and what are we [05168]? your murmurings [08519] are not against us, but against the LORD [03068]. 2 16 9 And Moses [04872] spake [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Say [0559] unto all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Come near [07126] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for he hath heard [08085] your murmurings [08519]. 2 16 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron [0175] spake [01696] unto the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they looked [06437] toward the wilderness [04057], and, behold, the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] in the cloud [06051]. 2 16 11 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 16 12 I have heard [08085] the murmurings [08519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: speak [01696] unto them, saying [0559], At even [0996] [06153] ye shall eat [0398] flesh [01320], and in the morning [01242] ye shall be filled [07646] with bread [03899]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 2 16 13 And it came to pass, that at even [06153] the quails [07958] came up [05927], and covered [03680] the camp [04264]: and in the morning [01242] the dew [02919] lay [07902] round about [05439] the host [04264]. 2 16 14 And when the dew [02919] that lay [07902] was gone up [05927], behold, upon the face [06440] of the wilderness [04057] there lay a small [01851] round thing [02636], as small [01851] as the hoar frost [03713] on the ground [0776]. 2 16 15 And when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] it, they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], It is manna [04478]: for they wist [03045] not what it was. And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, This is the bread [03899] which the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you to eat [0402]. 2 16 16 This is the thing [01697] which [0834] the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680], Gather [03950] of it every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400], an omer [06016] for every man [01538], according to the number [04557] of your persons [05315]; take [03947] ye every man [0376] for them which are in his tents [0168]. 2 16 17 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] so, and gathered [03950], some more [07235], some less [04591]. 2 16 18 And when they did mete [04058] it with an omer [06016], he that gathered much [07235] had nothing over [05736], and he that gathered little [04591] had no lack [02637]; they gathered [03950] every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400]. 2 16 19 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Let no man [0376] leave [03498] of it till the morning [01242]. 2 16 20 Notwithstanding they hearkened [08085] not unto Moses [04872]; but some [0582] of them left [03498] of it until the morning [01242], and it bred [07311] worms [08438], and stank [0887]: and Moses [04872] was wroth [07107] with them. 2 16 21 And they gathered [03950] it every morning [01242], every man [0376] according [06310] to his eating [0400]: and when the sun [08121] waxed hot [02552], it melted [04549]. 2 16 22 And it came to pass, that on the sixth [08345] day [03117] they gathered [03950] twice [04932] as much bread [03899], two [08147] omers [06016] for one [0259] man: and all the rulers [05387] of the congregation [05712] came [0935] and told [05046] Moses [04872]. 2 16 23 And he said [0559] unto them, This is that which the LORD [03068] hath said [01696], To morrow [04279] is the rest [07677] of the holy [06944] sabbath [07676] unto the LORD [03068]: bake [0644] that which ye will bake [0644] to day, and seethe [01310] that ye will seethe [01310]; and that which [03605] remaineth over [05736] lay up [03240] for you to be kept [04931] until the morning [01242]. 2 16 24 And they laid it up [03240] till the morning [01242], as Moses [04872] bade [06680]: and it did not stink [0887], neither was there any worm [07415] therein. 2 16 25 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Eat [0398] that to day [03117]; for to day [03117] is a sabbath [07676] unto the LORD [03068]: to day [03117] ye shall not find [04672] it in the field [07704]. 2 16 26 Six [08337] days [03117] ye shall gather [03950] it; but on the seventh [07637] day [03117], which is the sabbath [07676], in it there shall be none. 2 16 27 And it came to pass, that there went out [03318] some of the people [05971] on the seventh [07637] day [03117] for to gather [03950], and they found [04672] none. 2 16 28 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], How long refuse [03985] ye to keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my laws [08451]? 2 16 29 See [07200], for that the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you the sabbath [07676], therefore he giveth [05414] you on the sixth [08345] day [03117] the bread [03899] of two days [03117]; abide [03427] ye every man [0376] in his place, let no man [0376] go out [03318] of his place [04725] on the seventh [07637] day [03117]. 2 16 30 So the people [05971] rested [07673] on the seventh [07637] day [03117]. 2 16 31 And the house [01004] of Israel [03478] called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Manna [04478]: and it was like coriander [01407] seed [02233], white [03836]; and the taste [02940] of it was like wafers [06838] made with honey [01706]. 2 16 32 And Moses [04872] said [0559], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] commandeth [06680], Fill [04393] an omer [06016] of it to be kept [04931] for your generations [01755]; that they may see [07200] the bread [03899] wherewith I have fed [0398] you in the wilderness [04057], when I brought you forth [03318] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 16 33 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] a [0259] pot [06803], and put [05414] an omer [06016] full [04393] of manna [04478] therein, and lay it up [03240] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to be kept [04931] for your generations [01755]. 2 16 34 As the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so Aaron [0175] laid it up [03240] before [06440] the Testimony [05715], to be kept [04931]. 2 16 35 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did eat [0398] manna [04478] forty [0705] years [08141], until they came [0935] to a land [0776] inhabited [03427]; they did eat [0398] manna [04478], until they came [0935] unto the borders [07097] of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 2 16 36 Now an omer [06016] is the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374]. 2 17 1 And all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265] from the wilderness [04057] of Sin [05512], after their journeys [04550], according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], and pitched [02583] in Rephidim [07508]: and there was no water [04325] for the people [05971] to drink [08354]. 2 17 2 Wherefore the people [05971] did chide [07378] with Moses [04872], and said [0559], Give [05414] us water [04325] that we may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, Why chide [07378] ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt [05254] the LORD [03068]? 2 17 3 And the people [05971] thirsted [06770] there for water [04325]; and the people [05971] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872], and said [0559], Wherefore is this that thou hast brought [05927] us up out of Egypt [04714], to kill [04191] us and our children [01121] and our cattle [04735] with thirst [06772]? 2 17 4 And Moses [04872] cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], What shall I do [06213] unto this people [05971]? they be almost [04592] ready to stone [05619] me. 2 17 5 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go on [05674] before [06440] the people [05971], and take [03947] with thee of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; and thy rod [04294], wherewith thou smotest [05221] the river [02975], take [03947] in thine hand [03027], and go [01980]. 2 17 6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]. 2 17 7 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of the place [04725] Massah [04532], and Meribah [04809], because of the chiding [07379] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and because they tempted [05254] the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Is [03426] the LORD [03068] among [07130] us, or not? 2 17 8 Then came [0935] Amalek [06002], and fought [03898] with Israel [03478] in Rephidim [07508]. 2 17 9 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Choose us out [0977] men [0582], and go out [03318], fight [03898] with Amalek [06002]: to morrow [04279] I will stand [05324] on the top [07218] of the hill [01389] with the rod [04294] of God [0430] in mine hand [03027]. 2 17 10 So Joshua [03091] did [06213] as Moses [04872] had said [0559] to him, and fought [03898] with Amalek [06002]: and Moses [04872], Aaron [0175], and Hur [02354] went up [05927] to the top [07218] of the hill [01389]. 2 17 11 And it came to pass, when Moses [04872] held up [07311] his hand [03027], that Israel [03478] prevailed [01396]: and when he let down [05117] his hand [03027], Amalek [06002] prevailed [01396]. 2 17 12 But Moses [04872]' hands [03027] were heavy [03515]; and they took [03947] a stone [068], and put [07760] it under him, and he sat [03427] thereon; and Aaron [0175] and Hur [02354] stayed up [08551] his hands [03027], the one on the one side [0259], and the other on the other side [0259]; and his hands [03027] were steady [0530] until the going down [0935] of the sun [08121]. 2 17 13 And Joshua [03091] discomfited [02522] Amalek [06002] and his people [05971] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 2 17 14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Write [03789] this for a memorial [02146] in a book [05612], and rehearse [07760] it in the ears [0241] of Joshua [03091]: for I will utterly [04229] put out [04229] the remembrance [02143] of Amalek [06002] from under heaven [08064]. 2 17 15 And Moses [04872] built [01129] an altar [04196], and called [07121] the name [08034] of it Jehovahnissi [03071]: 2 17 16 For he said [0559], Because the LORD [03050] hath sworn [03027] [03676] that the LORD [03068] will have war [04421] with Amalek [06002] from generation [01755] to generation [01755]. 2 18 1 When Jethro [03503], the priest [03548] of Midian [04080], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], heard [08085] of all that God [0430] had done [06213] for Moses [04872], and for Israel [03478] his people [05971], and that the LORD [03068] had brought [03318] Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714]; 2 18 2 Then Jethro [03503], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], took [03947] Zipporah [06855], Moses [04872]' wife [0802], after [0310] he had sent her back [07964], 2 18 3 And her two [08147] sons [01121]; of which the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Gershom [01647]; for he said [0559], I have been an alien [01616] in a strange [05237] land [0776]: 2 18 4 And the name [08034] of the other [0259] was Eliezer [0461]; for the God [0430] of my father [01], said he, was mine help [05828], and delivered [05337] me from the sword [02719] of Pharaoh [06547]: 2 18 5 And Jethro [03503], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], came [0935] with his sons [01121] and his wife [0802] unto Moses [04872] into the wilderness [04057], where he encamped [02583] at the mount [02022] of God [0430]: 2 18 6 And he said [0559] unto Moses [04872], I thy father in law [02859] Jethro [03503] am come [0935] unto thee, and thy wife [0802], and her two [08147] sons [01121] with her. 2 18 7 And Moses [04872] went out [03318] to meet [07125] his father in law [02859], and did obeisance [07812], and kissed [05401] him; and they asked [07592] each [0376] other [07453] of their welfare [07965]; and they came [0935] into the tent [0168]. 2 18 8 And Moses [04872] told [05608] his father in law [02859] all that the LORD [03068] had done [06213] unto Pharaoh [06547] and to the Egyptians [04714] for Israel's [03478] sake [0182], and all the travail [08513] that had come [04672] upon them by the way [01870], and how the LORD [03068] delivered [05337] them. 2 18 9 And Jethro [03503] rejoiced [02302] for all the goodness [02896] which the LORD [03068] had done [06213] to Israel [03478], whom he had delivered [05337] out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714]. 2 18 10 And Jethro [03503] said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068], who hath delivered [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and out of the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547], who hath delivered [05337] the people [05971] from under the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714]. 2 18 11 Now I know [03045] that the LORD [03068] is greater [01419] than all gods [0430]: for in the thing [01697] wherein they dealt proudly [02102] he was above them. 2 18 12 And Jethro [03503], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], took [03947] a burnt offering [05930] and sacrifices [02077] for God [0430]: and Aaron [0175] came [0935], and all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], to eat [0398] bread [03899] with Moses [04872]' father in law [02859] before [06440] God [0430]. 2 18 13 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that Moses [04872] sat [03427] to judge [08199] the people [05971]: and the people [05971] stood [05975] by Moses [04872] from the morning [01242] unto the evening [06153]. 2 18 14 And when Moses [04872]' father in law [02859] saw [07200] all that he did [06213] to the people [05971], he said [0559], What is this thing [01697] that thou doest [06213] to the people [05971]? why sittest [03427] thou thyself alone, and all the people [05971] stand [05324] by thee from morning [01242] unto even [06153]? 2 18 15 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto his father in law [02859], Because the people [05971] come [0935] unto me to enquire [01875] of God [0430]: 2 18 16 When they have a matter [01697], they come [0935] unto me; and I judge [08199] between one [0376] and another [07453], and I do make them know [03045] the statutes [02706] of God [0430], and his laws [08451]. 2 18 17 And Moses [04872]' father in law [02859] said [0559] unto him, The thing [01697] that thou doest [06213] is not good [02896]. 2 18 18 Thou wilt surely [05034] wear away [05034], both thou, and this people [05971] that is with thee: for this thing [01697] is too heavy [03515] for thee; thou art not able [03201] to perform [06213] it thyself alone. 2 18 19 Hearken [08085] now unto my voice [06963], I will give thee counsel [03289], and God [0430] shall be [01961] with thee: Be thou for the people [05971] to God-ward [04136] [0430], that thou mayest bring [0935] the causes [01697] unto God [0430]: 2 18 20 And thou shalt teach [02094] [0853] them ordinances [02706] and laws [08451], and shalt shew [03045] them the way [01870] wherein they must walk [03212], and the work [04639] that they must do [06213]. 2 18 21 Moreover thou shalt provide [02372] out of all the people [05971] able [02428] men [0582], such as fear [03373] God [0430], men [0582] of truth [0571], hating [08130] covetousness [01215]; and place [07760] such over them, to be rulers [08269] of thousands [0505], and rulers [08269] of hundreds [03967], rulers [08269] of fifties [02572], and rulers [08269] of tens [06235]: 2 18 22 And let them judge [08199] the people [05971] at all seasons [06256]: and it shall be, that every great [01419] matter [01697] they shall bring [0935] unto thee, but every small [06996] matter [01697] they shall judge [08199]: so shall it be easier [07043] for thyself, and they shall bear [05375] the burden with thee. 2 18 23 If thou shalt do [06213] this thing [01697], and God [0430] command [06680] thee so, then thou shalt be able [03201] to endure [05975], and all this people [05971] shall also go [0935] to their place [04725] in peace [07965]. 2 18 24 So Moses [04872] hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of his father in law [02859], and did [06213] all that he had said [0559]. 2 18 25 And Moses [04872] chose [0977] able [02428] men [0582] out of all Israel [03478], and made [05414] them heads [07218] over the people [05971], rulers [08269] of thousands [0505], rulers [08269] of hundreds [03967], rulers [08269] of fifties [02572], and rulers [08269] of tens [06235]. 2 18 26 And they judged [08199] the people [05971] at all seasons [06256]: the hard [07186] causes [01697] they brought [0935] unto Moses [04872], but every small [06996] matter [01697] [01992] they judged [08199] themselves. 2 18 27 And Moses [04872] let his father in law [02859] depart [07971]; and he went [03212] his way into his own land [0776]. 2 19 1 In the third [07992] month [02320], when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were gone forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], the same day [03117] came [0935] they into the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]. 2 19 2 For they were departed [05265] from Rephidim [07508], and were come [0935] to the desert [04057] of Sinai [05514], and had pitched [02583] in the wilderness [04057]; and there Israel [03478] camped [02583] before the mount [02022]. 2 19 3 And Moses [04872] went up [05927] unto God [0430], and the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto him out of the mountain [02022], saying [0559], Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and tell [05046] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; 2 19 4 Ye have seen [07200] what I did [06213] unto the Egyptians [04714], and how I bare [05375] you on eagles [05404]' wings [03671], and brought [0935] you unto myself. 2 19 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey [08085] my voice [06963] indeed [08085], and keep [08104] my covenant [01285], then ye shall be a peculiar treasure [05459] unto me above all people [05971]: for all the earth [0776] is mine: 2 19 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 2 19 7 And Moses [04872] came [0935] and called [07121] for the elders [02205] of the people [05971], and laid [07760] before their faces [06440] all these words [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him. 2 19 8 And all the people [05971] answered [06030] together [03162], and said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] we will do [06213]. And Moses [04872] returned [07725] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 19 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Lo, I come [0935] unto thee in a thick [05645] cloud [06051], that the people [05971] may hear [08085] when I speak [01696] with thee, and believe [0539] thee for ever [05769]. And Moses [04872] told [05046] the words [01697] of the people [05971] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 19 10 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [03212] unto the people [05971], and sanctify [06942] them to day [03117] and to morrow [04279], and let them wash [03526] their clothes [08071], 2 19 11 And be ready [03559] against the third [07992] day [03117]: for the third [07992] day [03117] the LORD [03068] will come down [03381] in the sight [05869] of all the people [05971] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514]. 2 19 12 And thou shalt set bounds [01379] unto the people [05971] round about [05439], saying [0559], Take heed [08104] to yourselves, that ye go not up [05927] into the mount [02022], or touch [05060] the border [07097] of it: whosoever toucheth [05060] the mount [02022] shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]: 2 19 13 There shall not an hand [03027] touch [05060] it, but he shall surely [05619] be stoned [05619], or [0176] shot [03384] through [03384]; whether it be beast [0929] or [0518] man [0376], it shall not live [02421]: when the trumpet [03104] soundeth long [04900], they shall come up [05927] to the mount [02022]. 2 19 14 And Moses [04872] went down [03381] from the mount [02022] unto the people [05971], and sanctified [06942] the people [05971]; and they washed [03526] their clothes [08071]. 2 19 15 And he said [0559] unto the people [05971], Be [01961] ready [03559] against the third [07969] day [03117]: come [05066] not at your wives [0802]. 2 19 16 And it came to pass on the third [07992] day [03117] in the morning [01242], that there were thunders [06963] and lightnings [01300], and a thick [03515] cloud [06051] upon the mount [02022], and the voice [06963] of the trumpet [07782] exceeding [03966] loud [02389]; so that all the people [05971] that was in the camp [04264] trembled [02729]. 2 19 17 And Moses [04872] brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of the camp [04264] to meet [07125] with God [0430]; and they stood [03320] at the nether [08482] part of the mount [02022]. 2 19 18 And mount [02022] Sinai [05514] was altogether on a smoke [06225], because [06440] [0834] the LORD [03068] descended [03381] upon it in fire [0784]: and the smoke [06227] thereof ascended [05927] as the smoke [06227] of a furnace [03536], and the whole mount [02022] quaked [02729] greatly [03966]. 2 19 19 And when the voice [06963] of the trumpet [07782] sounded [06963] long [01980], and waxed louder [02390] and louder [03966], Moses [04872] spake [01696], and God [0430] answered [06030] him by a voice [06963]. 2 19 20 And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], on the top [07218] of the mount [02022]: and the LORD [03068] called [07121] Moses [04872] up to [0413] the top [07218] of the mount [02022]; and Moses [04872] went up [05927]. 2 19 21 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go down [03381], charge [05749] the people [05971], lest they break through [02040] unto the LORD [03068] to gaze [07200], and many [07227] of them perish [05307]. 2 19 22 And let the priests [03548] also, which come near [05066] to the LORD [03068], sanctify [06942] themselves, lest the LORD [03068] break forth [06555] upon them. 2 19 23 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], The people [05971] cannot [03201] come up [05927] to mount [02022] Sinai [05514]: for thou chargedst [05749] us, saying [0559], Set bounds [01379] about the mount [02022], and sanctify [06942] it. 2 19 24 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Away [03212], get thee down [03381], and thou shalt come up [05927], thou, and Aaron [0175] with thee: but let not the priests [03548] and the people [05971] break through [02040] to come up [05927] unto the LORD [03068], lest he break forth [06555] upon them. 2 19 25 So Moses [04872] went down [03381] unto the people [05971], and spake [0559] unto them. 2 20 1 And God [0430] spake [01696] all these words [01697], saying [0559], 2 20 2 I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which have brought [03318] thee out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], out of the house [01004] of bondage [05650]. 2 20 3 Thou shalt have no other [0312] gods [0430] before me [06440]. 2 20 4 Thou shalt not make [06213] unto thee any graven image [06459], or any likeness [08544] of any thing that [0834] is in heaven [08064] above [04605], or that is in the earth [0776] beneath, or that is in the water [04325] under the earth [0776]: 2 20 5 Thou shalt not bow down [07812] thyself to them, nor serve [05647] them: for I the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] am a jealous [07067] God [0410], visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121] unto the third [08029] and fourth [07256] generation of them that hate [08130] me; 2 20 6 And shewing [06213] mercy [02617] unto thousands [0505] of them that love [0157] me, and keep [08104] my commandments [04687]. 2 20 7 Thou shalt not take [05375] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in vain [07723]; for the LORD [03068] will not hold him guiltless [05352] that taketh [05375] his name [08034] in vain [07723]. 2 20 8 Remember [02142] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], to keep it holy [06942]. 2 20 9 Six [08337] days [03117] shalt thou labour [05647], and do [06213] all thy work [04399]: 2 20 10 But the seventh [07637] day [03117] is the sabbath [07676] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: in it thou shalt not do [06213] any work [04399], thou, nor thy son [01121], nor thy daughter [01323], thy manservant [05650], nor thy maidservant [0519], nor thy cattle [0929], nor thy stranger [01616] that is within thy gates [08179]: 2 20 11 For in six [08337] days [03117] the LORD [03068] made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776], the sea [03220], and all that in them is, and rested [05117] the seventh [07637] day [03117]: wherefore the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], and hallowed [06942] it. 2 20 12 Honour [03513] thy father [01] and thy mother [0517]: that thy days [03117] may be long [0748] upon the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee. 2 20 13 Thou shalt not kill [07523]. 2 20 14 Thou shalt not commit adultery [05003]. 2 20 15 Thou shalt not steal [01589]. 2 20 16 Thou shalt not bear [06030] false [08267] witness [05707] against thy neighbour [07453]. 2 20 17 Thou shalt not covet [02530] thy neighbour's [07453] house [01004], thou shalt not covet [02530] thy neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], nor his manservant [05650], nor his maidservant [0519], nor his ox [07794], nor his ass [02543], nor any thing that is thy neighbour's [07453]. 2 20 18 And all the people [05971] saw [07200] the thunderings [06963], and the lightnings [03940], and the noise [06963] of the trumpet [07782], and the mountain [02022] smoking [06226]: and when the people [05971] saw [07200] it, they removed [05128], and stood [05975] afar off [07350]. 2 20 19 And they said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [01696] thou with us, and we will hear [08085]: but let not God [0430] speak [01696] with us, lest we die [04191]. 2 20 20 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Fear [03372] not: for God [0430] is come [0935] to [05668] prove [05254] you, and that his fear [03374] may be before your faces [06440], that ye sin [02398] not. 2 20 21 And the people [05971] stood [05975] afar off [07350], and Moses [04872] drew near [05066] unto the thick darkness [06205] where God [0430] was. 2 20 22 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Thus thou shalt say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Ye have seen [07200] that I have talked [01696] with you from heaven [08064]. 2 20 23 Ye shall not make [06213] with me gods [0430] of silver [03701], neither shall ye make [06213] unto you gods [0430] of gold [02091]. 2 20 24 An altar [04196] of earth [0127] thou shalt make [06213] unto me, and shalt sacrifice [02076] thereon thy burnt offerings [05930], and thy peace offerings [08002], thy sheep [06629], and thine oxen [01241]: in all places [04725] where I record [02142] my name [08034] I will come [0935] unto thee, and I will bless [01288] thee. 2 20 25 And if thou wilt make [06213] me an altar [04196] of stone [068], thou shalt not build [01129] it of hewn stone [01496]: for if thou lift up [05130] thy tool [02719] upon it, thou hast polluted [02490] it. 2 20 26 Neither shalt thou go up [05927] by steps [04609] unto mine altar [04196], that thy nakedness [06172] be not discovered [01540] thereon. 2 21 1 Now these are the judgments [04941] which thou shalt set [07760] before [06440] them. 2 21 2 If thou buy [07069] an Hebrew [05680] servant [05650], six [08337] years [08141] he shall serve [05647]: and in the seventh [07637] he shall go out [03318] free [02670] for nothing [02600]. 2 21 3 If he came in [0935] by himself [01610], he shall go out [03318] by himself [01610]: if he were married [01167] [0802], then his wife [0802] shall go out [03318] with him. 2 21 4 If his master [0113] have given [05414] him a wife [0802], and she have born [03205] him sons [01121] or daughters [01323]; the wife [0802] and her children [03206] shall be her master's [0113], and he shall go out [03318] by himself [01610]. 2 21 5 And if the servant [05650] shall plainly [0559] say [0559], I love [0157] my master [0113], my wife [0802], and my children [01121]; I will not go out [03318] free [02670]: 2 21 6 Then his master [0113] shall bring [05066] him unto the judges [0430]; he shall also bring [05066] him to the door [01817], or unto the door post [04201]; and his master [0113] shall bore [07527] his ear [0241] through with an aul [04836]; and he shall serve [05647] him for ever [05769]. 2 21 7 And if a man [0376] sell [04376] his daughter [01323] to be a maidservant [0519], she shall not go out [03318] as the menservants [05650] do [03318]. 2 21 8 If she please [07451] [05869] not her master [0113], who hath betrothed [03259] her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed [06299]: to sell [04376] her unto a strange [05237] nation [05971] he shall have no power [04910], seeing he hath dealt deceitfully [0898] with her. 2 21 9 And if he have betrothed [03259] her unto his son [01121], he shall deal [06213] with her after the manner [04941] of daughters [01323]. 2 21 10 If he take [03947] him another [0312] wife; her food [07607], her raiment [03682], and her duty of marriage [05772], shall he not diminish [01639]. 2 21 11 And if he do [06213] not these three [07969] unto her, then shall she go out [03318] free [02600] without money [03701]. 2 21 12 He that smiteth [05221] a man [0376], so that he die [04191], shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]. 2 21 13 And if a man lie not in wait [06658], but God [0430] deliver [0579] him into his hand [03027]; then I will appoint [07760] thee a place [04725] whither he shall flee [05127]. 2 21 14 But if a man [0376] come presumptuously [02102] upon his neighbour [07453], to slay [02026] him with guile [06195]; thou shalt take [03947] him from mine altar [04196], that he may die [04191]. 2 21 15 And he that smiteth [05221] his father [01], or his mother [0517], shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]. 2 21 16 And he that stealeth [01589] a man [0376], and selleth [04376] him, or if he be found [04672] in his hand [03027], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 2 21 17 And he that curseth [07043] his father [01], or his mother [0517], shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 2 21 18 And if men [0582] strive [07378] together, and one [0376] smite [05221] another [07453] with a stone [068], or [0176] with his fist [0106], and he die [04191] not, but keepeth [05307] his bed [04904]: 2 21 19 If he rise again [06965], and walk [01980] abroad [02351] upon his staff [04938], then shall he that smote [05221] him be quit [05352]: only he shall pay [05414] for the loss of his time [07674], and shall cause him to be thoroughly [07495] healed [07495]. 2 21 20 And if a man [0376] smite [05221] his servant [05650], or his maid [0519], with a rod [07626], and he die [04191] under his hand [03027]; he shall be surely [05358] punished [05358]. 2 21 21 Notwithstanding [0389], if he continue [05975] a day [03117] or two [08147], he shall not be punished [05358]: for he is his money [03701]. 2 21 22 If men [0582] strive [05327], and hurt [05062] a woman [0802] with child [02030], so that her fruit [03206] depart [03318] from her, and yet no mischief follow [0611]: he shall be surely [06064] punished [06064], according as the woman's [0802] husband [01167] will lay [07896] upon him; and he shall pay [05414] as the judges [06414] determine. 2 21 23 And if any mischief follow [0611], then thou shalt give [05414] life [05315] for life [05315], 2 21 24 Eye [05869] for eye [05869], tooth [08127] for tooth [08127], hand [03027] for hand [03027], foot [07272] for foot [07272], 2 21 25 Burning [03555] for burning [03555], wound [06482] for wound [06482], stripe [02250] for stripe [02250]. 2 21 26 And if a man [0376] smite [05221] the eye [05869] of his servant [05650], or the eye [05869] of his maid [0519], that it perish [07843]; he shall let him go [07971] free [02670] for [08478] his eye's [05869] sake. 2 21 27 And if he smite [05307] out his manservant's [05650] tooth [08127], or his maidservant's [0519] tooth [08127]; he shall let him go [07971] free [02670] for his tooth's [08127] sake. 2 21 28 If an ox [07794] gore [05055] a man [0376] or a woman [0802], that they die [04191]: then the ox [07794] shall be surely [05619] stoned [05619], and his flesh [01320] shall not be eaten [0398]; but the owner [01167] of the ox [07794] shall be quit [05355]. 2 21 29 But if the ox [07794] were wont to push with his horn [05056] in time past [08543] [08032], and it hath been testified [05749] to his owner [01167], and he hath not kept [08104] him in, but that he hath killed [04191] a man [0376] or a woman [0802]; the ox [07794] shall be stoned [05619], and his owner [01167] also shall be put to death [04191]. 2 21 30 If there be laid [07896] on him a sum of money [03724], then he shall give [05414] for the ransom [06306] of his life [05315] whatsoever is laid [07896] upon him. 2 21 31 Whether he have gored [05055] a son [01121], or [0176] have gored [05055] a daughter [01323], according to this judgment [04941] shall it be done [06213] unto him. 2 21 32 If the ox [07794] shall push [05055] a manservant [05650] or a maidservant [0519]; he shall give [05414] unto their master [0113] thirty [07970] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], and the ox [07794] shall be stoned [05619]. 2 21 33 And if a man [0376] shall open [06605] a pit [0953], or if a man [0376] shall dig [03738] a pit [0953], and not cover [03680] it, and an ox [07794] or an ass [02543] fall [05307] therein; 2 21 34 The owner [01167] of the pit [0953] shall make it good [07999], and give [07725] money [03701] unto the owner [01167] of them; and the dead [04191] beast shall be his. 2 21 35 And if one man's [0376] ox [07794] hurt [05062] another's [07453], that he die [04191]; then they shall sell [04376] the live [02416] ox [07794], and divide [02673] the money [03701] of it; and the dead [04191] ox also they shall divide [02673]. 2 21 36 Or if it be known [03045] that the ox [07794] hath used to push [05056] in time past [08543] [08032], and his owner [01167] hath not kept [08104] him in; he shall surely [07999] pay [07999] ox [07794] for ox [07794]; and the dead [04191] shall be his own. 2 22 1 If a man [0376] shall steal [01589] an ox [07794], or a sheep [07716], and kill [02873] it, or sell [04376] it; he shall restore [07999] five [02568] oxen [01241] for an ox [07794], and four [0702] sheep [06629] for a sheep [07716]. 2 22 2 If a thief [01590] be found [04672] breaking up [04290], and be smitten [05221] that he die [04191], there shall no blood [01818] be shed for him. 2 22 3 If the sun [08121] be risen [02224] upon him, there shall be blood [01818] shed for him; for he should make full [07999] restitution [07999]; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold [04376] for his theft [01591]. 2 22 4 If the theft [01591] be certainly [04672] found [04672] in his hand [03027] alive [02416], whether it be ox [07794], or ass [02543], or sheep [07716]; he shall restore [07999] double [08147]. 2 22 5 If a man [0376] shall cause a field [07704] or vineyard [03754] to be eaten [01197], and shall put [07971] in his beast [01165], and shall feed [01197] in another man's [0312] field [07704]; of the best [04315] of his own field [07704], and of the best [04315] of his own vineyard [03754], shall he make restitution [07999]. 2 22 6 If fire [0784] break out [03318], and catch [04672] in thorns [06975], so that the stacks of corn [01430], or the standing corn [07054], or the field [07704], be consumed [0398] therewith; he that kindled [01197] the fire [01200] shall surely [07999] make restitution [07999]. 2 22 7 If a man [0376] shall deliver [05414] unto his neighbour [07453] money [03701] or stuff [03627] to keep [08104], and it be stolen [01589] out of the man's [0376] house [01004]; if the thief [01590] be found [04672], let him pay [07999] double [08147]. 2 22 8 If the thief [01590] be not [03808] found [04672], then the master [01167] of the house [01004] shall be brought [07126] unto the judges [0430], to see whether he have put [07971] his hand [03027] unto his neighbour's [07453] goods [04399]. 2 22 9 For all manner [01697] of trespass [06588], whether it be for ox [07794], for ass [02543], for sheep [07716], for raiment [08008], or for any manner of lost thing [09], which another challengeth [0559] to be his, the cause [01697] of both parties [08147] shall come [0935] before the judges [0430]; and whom the judges [0430] shall condemn [07561], he shall pay [07999] double [08147] unto his neighbour [07453]. 2 22 10 If a man [0376] deliver [05414] unto his neighbour [07453] an ass [02543], or an ox [07794], or a sheep [07716], or any beast [0929], to keep [08104]; and it die [04191], or be hurt [07665], or driven away [07617], no man seeing [07200] it: 2 22 11 Then shall an oath [07621] of the LORD [03068] be between them both [08147], that he hath not put [07971] his hand [03027] unto his neighbour's [07453] goods [04399]; and the owner [01167] of it shall accept [03947] thereof, and he shall not make it good [07999]. 2 22 12 And if it be stolen [01589] [01589] from him, he shall make restitution [07999] unto the owner [01167] thereof. 2 22 13 If it be torn in pieces [02963] [02963], then let him bring [0935] it for witness [05707], and he shall not make good [07999] that which was torn [02966]. 2 22 14 And if a man [0376] borrow [07592] ought of his neighbour [07453], and it be hurt [07665], or die [04191], the owner [01167] thereof being not with it [05973], he shall surely [07999] make it good [07999]. 2 22 15 But if the owner [01167] thereof be with it, he shall not make it good [07999]: if it be an hired [07916] thing, it came [0935] for his hire [07939]. 2 22 16 And if a man [0376] entice [06601] a maid [01330] that is not betrothed [0781], and lie [07901] with her, he shall surely [04117] endow [04117] her to be his wife [0802]. 2 22 17 If her father [01] utterly [03985] refuse [03985] to give [05414] her unto him, he shall pay [08254] money [03701] according to the dowry [04119] of virgins [01330]. 2 22 18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch [03784] to live [02421]. 2 22 19 Whosoever lieth [07901] with a beast [0929] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 2 22 20 He that sacrificeth [02076] unto any god [0430], save [01115] unto the LORD [03068] only, he shall be utterly destroyed [02763]. 2 22 21 Thou shalt neither vex [03238] a stranger [01616], nor oppress [03905] him: for ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 22 22 Ye shall not afflict [06031] any widow [0490], or fatherless child [03490]. 2 22 23 If [0518] thou afflict [06031] them in any wise [06031], and they cry [06817] at all [06817] unto me, I will surely [08085] hear [08085] their cry [06818]; 2 22 24 And my wrath [0639] shall wax hot [02734], and I will kill [02026] you with the sword [02719]; and your wives [0802] shall be widows [0490], and your children [01121] fatherless [03490]. 2 22 25 If thou lend [03867] money [03701] to any of my people [05971] that is poor [06041] by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer [05383], neither shalt thou lay [07760] upon him usury [05392]. 2 22 26 If thou at all [02254] take [02254] thy neighbour's [07453] raiment [08008] to pledge [02254], thou shalt deliver [07725] it unto him by [05704] that the sun [08121] goeth down [0935]: 2 22 27 For that is his covering [03682] only, it is his raiment [08071] for his skin [05785]: wherein shall he sleep [07901]? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth [06817] unto me, that I will hear [08085]; for I am gracious [02587]. 2 22 28 Thou shalt not revile [07043] the gods [0430], nor curse [0779] the ruler [05387] of thy people [05971]. 2 22 29 Thou shalt not delay [0309] to offer the first of thy ripe fruits [04395], and of thy liquors [01831]: the firstborn [01060] of thy sons [01121] shalt thou give [05414] unto me. 2 22 30 Likewise [03651] shalt thou do [06213] with thine oxen [07794], and with thy sheep [06629]: seven [07651] days [03117] it shall be with his dam [0517]; on the eighth [08066] day [03117] thou shalt give [05414] it me. 2 22 31 And ye shall be holy [06944] men [0582] unto me: neither shall ye eat [0398] any flesh [01320] that is torn of beasts [02966] in the field [07704]; ye shall cast [07993] it to the dogs [03611]. 2 23 1 Thou shalt not raise [05375] a false [07723] report [08088]: put [07896] not thine hand [03027] with the wicked [07563] to be an unrighteous [02555] witness [05707]. 2 23 2 Thou shalt not follow [0310] a multitude [07227] to do evil [07451]; neither shalt thou speak [06030] in a cause [07379] to decline [05186] after [0310] many [07227] to wrest [05186] judgment: 2 23 3 Neither shalt thou countenance [01921] a poor [01800] man in his cause [07379]. 2 23 4 If thou meet [06293] thine enemy's [0341] ox [07794] or his ass [02543] going astray [08582], thou shalt surely [07725] bring it back [07725] to him again [07725]. 2 23 5 If thou see [07200] the ass [02543] of him that hateth [08130] thee lying [07257] under his burden [04853], and wouldest forbear [02308] to help [05800] him, thou shalt surely [05800] help [05800] with him. 2 23 6 Thou shalt not wrest [05186] the judgment [04941] of thy poor [034] in his cause [07379]. 2 23 7 Keep thee far [07368] from a false [08267] matter [01697]; and the innocent [05355] and righteous [06662] slay [02026] thou not: for I will not justify [06663] the wicked [07563]. 2 23 8 And thou shalt take [03947] no gift [07810]: for the gift [07810] blindeth [05786] the wise [06493], and perverteth [05557] the words [01697] of the righteous [06662]. 2 23 9 Also thou shalt not oppress [03905] a stranger [01616]: for ye know [03045] the heart [05315] of a stranger [01616], seeing [03588] ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 23 10 And six [08337] years [08141] thou shalt sow [02232] thy land [0776], and shalt gather [0622] in the fruits [08393] thereof: 2 23 11 But the seventh [07637] year thou shalt let it rest [08058] and lie [05203] still; that the poor [034] of thy people [05971] may eat [0398]: and what they leave [03499] the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] shall eat [0398]. In like manner thou shalt deal [06213] with thy vineyard [03754], and with thy oliveyard [02132]. 2 23 12 Six [08337] days [03117] thou shalt do [06213] thy work [04639], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] thou shalt rest [07673]: that thine ox [07794] and thine ass [02543] may rest [05117], and the son [01121] of thy handmaid [0519], and the stranger [01616], may be refreshed [05314]. 2 23 13 And in all things that I have said [0559] unto you be circumspect [08104]: and make no mention [02142] of the name [08034] of other [0312] gods [0430], neither let it be heard [08085] out [05921] of thy mouth [06310]. 2 23 14 Three [07969] times [07272] thou shalt keep a feast [02287] unto me in the year [08141]. 2 23 15 Thou shalt keep [08104] the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682]: (thou shalt eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682] seven [07651] days [03117], as I commanded [06680] thee, in the time appointed [04150] of the month [02320] Abib [024]; for in it thou camest out [03318] from Egypt [04714]: and none shall appear [07200] before [06440] me empty [07387]:) 2 23 16 And the feast [02282] of harvest [07105], the firstfruits [01061] of thy labours [04639], which thou hast sown [02232] in the field [07704]: and the feast [02282] of ingathering [0614], which is in the end [03318] of the year [08141], when thou hast gathered [0622] in thy labours [04639] out of the field [07704]. 2 23 17 Three [07969] times [06471] in the year [08141] all thy males [02138] shall appear [07200] before [06440] the Lord [0113] GOD [03068]. 2 23 18 Thou shalt not offer [02076] the blood [01818] of my sacrifice [02077] with leavened bread [02557]; neither shall the fat [02459] of my sacrifice [02282] remain [03885] until the morning [01242]. 2 23 19 The first [07225] of the firstfruits [01061] of thy land [0127] thou shalt bring [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. Thou shalt not seethe [01310] a kid [01423] in his mother's [0517] milk [02461]. 2 23 20 Behold, I send [07971] an Angel [04397] before [06440] thee, to keep [08104] thee in the way [01870], and to bring [0935] thee into the place [04725] which I have prepared [03559]. 2 23 21 Beware [08104] of [06440] him, and obey [08085] his voice [06963], provoke [04843] him not; for he will not pardon [05375] your transgressions [06588]: for my name [08034] is in him [07130]. 2 23 22 But if thou shalt indeed [08085] obey [08085] his voice [06963], and do [06213] all that I speak [01696]; then I will be an enemy [0340] unto thine enemies [0341], and an adversary [06887] unto thine adversaries [06696]. 2 23 23 For mine Angel [04397] shall go [03212] before [06440] thee, and bring [0935] thee in unto the Amorites [0567], and the Hittites [02850], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Canaanites [03669], the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]: and I will cut them off [03582]. 2 23 24 Thou shalt not bow down [07812] to their gods [0430], nor serve [05647] them, nor do [06213] after their works [04639]: but thou shalt utterly [02040] overthrow [02040] them, and quite [07665] break down [07665] their images [04676]. 2 23 25 And ye shall serve [05647] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and he shall bless [01288] thy bread [03899], and thy water [04325]; and I will take [05493] sickness [04245] away [05493] from the midst [07130] of thee. 2 23 26 There shall nothing cast their young [07921], nor be barren [06135], in thy land [0776]: the number [04557] of thy days [03117] I will fulfil [04390]. 2 23 27 I will send [07971] my fear [0367] before [06440] thee, and will destroy [02000] all the people [05971] to whom thou shalt come [0935], and I will make [05414] all thine enemies [0341] turn their backs [06203] unto thee. 2 23 28 And I will send [07971] hornets [06880] before [06440] thee, which shall drive out [01644] the Hivite [02340], the Canaanite [03669], and the Hittite [02850], from before [06440] thee. 2 23 29 I will not drive them out [01644] from before [06440] thee in one [0259] year [08141]; lest the land [0776] become desolate [08077], and the beast [02416] of the field [07704] multiply [07227] against thee. 2 23 30 By little [04592] and little [04592] I will drive them out [01644] from before [06440] thee, until thou be increased [06509], and inherit [05157] the land [0776]. 2 23 31 And I will set [07896] thy bounds [01366] from the Red [05488] sea [03220] even unto the sea [03220] of the Philistines [06430], and from the desert [04057] unto the river [05104]: for I will deliver [05414] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] into your hand [03027]; and thou shalt drive them out [01644] before [06440] thee. 2 23 32 Thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor with their gods [0430]. 2 23 33 They shall not dwell [03427] in thy land [0776], lest they make thee sin [02398] against me: for if thou serve [05647] their gods [0430], it will surely be a snare [04170] unto thee. 2 24 1 And he said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Come up [05927] unto the LORD [03068], thou, and Aaron [0175], Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], and seventy [07657] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; and worship [07812] ye afar off [07350]. 2 24 2 And Moses [04872] alone shall come near [05066] the LORD [03068]: but they shall not come nigh [05066]; neither shall the people [05971] go up [05927] with him. 2 24 3 And Moses [04872] came [0935] and told [05608] the people [05971] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and all the judgments [04941]: and all the people [05971] answered [06030] with one [0259] voice [06963], and said [0559], All the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] will we do [06213]. 2 24 4 And Moses [04872] wrote [03789] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and builded [01129] an altar [04196] under the hill [02022], and twelve pillars [04676], according to the twelve [08147] [06240] tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 2 24 5 And he sent [07971] young men [05288] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and sacrificed [02076] peace [08002] offerings [02077] of oxen [06499] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 24 6 And Moses [04872] took [03947] half [02677] of the blood [01818], and put [07760] it in basons [0101]; and half [02677] of the blood [01818] he sprinkled [02236] on the altar [04196]. 2 24 7 And he took [03947] the book [05612] of the covenant [01285], and read [07121] in the audience [0241] of the people [05971]: and they said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] will we do [06213], and be obedient [08085]. 2 24 8 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the blood [01818], and sprinkled [02236] it on the people [05971], and said [0559], Behold the blood [01818] of the covenant [01285], which the LORD [03068] hath made [03772] with you concerning all these words [01697]. 2 24 9 Then went up [05927] Moses [04872], and Aaron [0175], Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], and seventy [07657] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]: 2 24 10 And they saw [07200] the God [0430] of Israel [03478]: and there was under his feet [07272] as it were a paved [03840] work [04639] of a sapphire stone [05601], and as it were the body [06106] of heaven [08064] in his clearness [02892]. 2 24 11 And upon the nobles [0678] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] he laid [07971] not his hand [03027]: also they saw [02372] God [0430], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354]. 2 24 12 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Come up [05927] to me into the mount [02022], and be there: and I will give [05414] thee tables [03871] of stone [068], and a law [08451], and commandments [04687] which I have written [03789]; that thou mayest teach [03384] them. 2 24 13 And Moses [04872] rose up [06965], and his minister [08334] Joshua [03091]: and Moses [04872] went up [05927] into the mount [02022] of God [0430]. 2 24 14 And he said [0559] unto the elders [02205], Tarry [03427] ye here [02088] for us, until we come again [07725] unto you: and, behold, Aaron [0175] and Hur [02354] are with you: if any [04310] man [01167] have any matters [01697] to do [01167], let him come [05066] unto them. 2 24 15 And Moses [04872] went up [05927] into the mount [02022], and a cloud [06051] covered [03680] the mount [02022]. 2 24 16 And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] abode [07931] upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], and the cloud [06051] covered [03680] it six [08337] days [03117]: and the seventh [07637] day [03117] he called [07121] unto Moses [04872] out of the midst [08432] of the cloud [06051]. 2 24 17 And the sight [04758] of the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] was like devouring [0398] fire [0784] on the top [07218] of the mount [02022] in the eyes [05869] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 2 24 18 And Moses [04872] went [0935] into the midst [08432] of the cloud [06051], and gat him up [05927] into the mount [02022]: and Moses [04872] was in the mount [02022] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]. 2 25 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 25 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they bring [03947] me an offering [08641]: of every man [0376] that giveth it willingly [05068] with his heart [03820] ye shall take [03947] my offering [08641]. 2 25 3 And this is the offering [08641] which ye shall take [03947] of them; gold [02091], and silver [03701], and brass [05178], 2 25 4 And blue [08504], and purple [0713], and scarlet [08438] [08144], and fine linen [08336], and goats [05795]' hair, 2 25 5 And rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and shittim [07848] wood [06086], 2 25 6 Oil [08081] for the light [03974], spices [01314] for anointing [04888] oil [08081], and for sweet [05561] incense [07004], 2 25 7 Onyx [07718] stones [068], and stones [068] to be set [04394] in the ephod [0646], and in the breastplate [02833]. 2 25 8 And let them make [06213] me a sanctuary [04720]; that I may dwell [07931] among [08432] them. 2 25 9 According to all that I shew [07200] thee, after the pattern [08403] of the tabernacle [04908], and the pattern [08403] of all the instruments [03627] thereof, even so shall ye make [06213] it. 2 25 10 And they shall make [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] and a half [02677] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof. 2 25 11 And thou shalt overlay [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091], within [01004] and without [02351] shalt thou overlay [06823] it, and shalt make [06213] upon it a crown [02213] of gold [02091] round about [05439]. 2 25 12 And thou shalt cast [03332] four [0702] rings [02885] of gold [02091] for it, and put [05414] them in the four [0702] corners [06471] thereof; and two [08147] rings [02885] shall be in the one [0259] side [06763] of it, and two [08147] rings [02885] in the other [08145] side of it. 2 25 13 And thou shalt make [06213] staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091]. 2 25 14 And thou shalt put [0935] the staves [0905] into the rings [02885] by the sides [06763] of the ark [0727], that the ark [0727] may be borne [05375] with them. 2 25 15 The staves [0905] shall be [01961] in the rings [02885] of the ark [0727]: they shall not be taken [05493] from it. 2 25 16 And thou shalt put [05414] into the ark [0727] the testimony [05715] which I shall give [05414] thee. 2 25 17 And thou shalt make [06213] a mercy seat [03727] of pure [02889] gold [02091]: two cubits [0520] and a half [02677] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the breadth [07341] thereof. 2 25 18 And thou shalt make [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of gold [02091], of beaten work [04749] shalt thou make [06213] them, in the two [08147] ends [07098] of the mercy seat [03727]. 2 25 19 And make [06213] one [0259] cherub [03742] on the one end [07098], and the other [0259] cherub [03742] on the other [02088] end [07098]: even of the mercy seat [03727] shall ye make [06213] the cherubims [03742] on the two [08147] ends [07098] thereof. 2 25 20 And the cherubims [03742] shall stretch [06566] forth their wings [03671] on high [04605], covering [05526] the mercy seat [03727] with their wings [03671], and their faces [06440] shall look one [0376] to another [0251]; toward the mercy seat [03727] shall the faces [06440] of the cherubims [03742] be. 2 25 21 And thou shalt put [05414] the mercy seat [03727] above [04605] upon the ark [0727]; and in the ark [0727] thou shalt put [05414] the testimony [05715] that I shall give [05414] thee. 2 25 22 And there I will meet [03259] with thee, and I will commune [01696] with thee from above the mercy seat [03727], from between [0996] the two [08147] cherubims [03742] which are upon [05921] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], of all things which I will give thee in commandment [06680] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 2 25 23 Thou shalt also make [06213] a table [07979] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof. 2 25 24 And thou shalt overlay [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091], and make [06213] thereto a crown [02213] of gold [02091] round about [05439]. 2 25 25 And thou shalt make [06213] unto it a border [04526] of an hand breadth [02948] round about [05439], and thou shalt make [06213] a golden [02091] crown [02213] to the border [04526] thereof round about [05439]. 2 25 26 And thou shalt make [06213] for it four [0702] rings [02885] of gold [02091], and put [05414] the rings [02885] in the four [0702] corners [06285] that are on the four [0702] feet [07272] thereof. 2 25 27 Over against [05980] the border [04526] shall the rings [02885] be for places [01004] of the staves [0905] to bear [05375] the table [07979]. 2 25 28 And thou shalt make [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091], that the table [07979] may be borne [05375] with them. 2 25 29 And thou shalt make [06213] the dishes [07086] thereof, and spoons [03709] thereof, and covers [07184] thereof, and bowls [04518] thereof, to cover [05258] withal [02004]: of pure [02889] gold [02091] shalt thou make [06213] them. 2 25 30 And thou shalt set [05414] upon the table [07979] shewbread [03899] before [06440] me alway [08548]. 2 25 31 And thou shalt make [06213] a candlestick [04501] of pure [02889] gold [02091]: of beaten work [04749] shall the candlestick [04501] be made [06213]: his shaft [03409], and his branches [07070], his bowls [01375], his knops [03730], and his flowers [06525], shall be of the same. 2 25 32 And six [08337] branches [07070] shall come [03318] out of the sides [06654] of it;

every one [0376] with his name [08034] shall they be according to the twelve [08147] [06240] tribes [07626]. 2 28 22 And thou shalt make [06213] upon the breastplate [02833] chains [08331] at the ends [01383] of wreathen [05688] work [04639] of pure [02889] gold [02091]. 2 28 23 And thou shalt make [06213] upon the breastplate [02833] two [08147] rings [02885] of gold [02091], and shalt put [05414] the two [08147] rings [02885] on the two [08147] ends [07098] of the breastplate [02833]. 2 28 24 And thou shalt put [05414] the two [08147] wreathen [05688] chains of gold [02091] in the two [08147] rings [02885] which are on the ends [07098] of the breastplate [02833]. 2 28 25 And the other two [08147] ends [07098] of the two [08147] wreathen [05688] chains thou shalt fasten [05414] in the two [08147] ouches [04865], and put [05414] them on the shoulderpieces [03802] of the ephod [0646] before [06440] it [04136]. 2 28 26 And thou shalt make [06213] two [08147] rings [02885] of gold [02091], and thou shalt put [07760] them upon the two [08147] ends [07098] of the breastplate [02833] in the border [08193] thereof, which is in the side [05676] of the ephod [0646] inward [01004]. 2 28 27 And two [08147] other rings [02885] of gold [02091] thou shalt make [06213], and shalt put [05414] them on the two [08147] sides [03802] of the ephod [0646] underneath [04295], toward [04136] the forepart [06440] thereof, over against [05980] the other coupling [04225] thereof, above [04605] the curious girdle [02805] of the ephod [0646]. 2 28 28 And they shall bind [07405] the breastplate [02833] by the rings [02885] thereof unto the rings [02885] of the ephod [0646] with a lace [06616] of blue [08504], that it may be above the curious girdle [02805] of the ephod [0646], and that the breastplate [02833] be not loosed [02118] from the ephod [0646]. 2 28 29 And Aaron [0175] shall bear [05375] the names [08034] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the breastplate [02833] of judgment [04941] upon his heart [03820], when he goeth [0935] in unto the holy [06944] place, for a memorial [02146] before [06440] the LORD [03068] continually [08548]. 2 28 30 And thou shalt put [05414] in the breastplate [02833] of judgment [04941] the Urim [0224] and the Thummim [08550]; and they shall be upon Aaron's [0175] heart [03820], when he goeth [0935] in before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and Aaron [0175] shall bear [05375] the judgment [04941] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] upon his heart [03820] before [06440] the LORD [03068] continually [08548]. 2 28 31 And thou shalt make [06213] the robe [04598] of the ephod [0646] all [03632] of blue [08504]. 2 28 32 And there shall be an hole [06310] in the top [07218] of it, in the midst [08432] thereof: it shall have a binding [08193] of woven [0707] work [04639] round about [05439] the hole [06310] of it, as it were the hole [06310] of an habergeon [08473], that it be not rent [07167]. 2 28 33 And beneath upon the hem [07757] of it thou shalt make [06213] pomegranates [07416] of blue [08504], and of purple [0713], and of scarlet [08144] [08438], round about [05439] the hem [07757] thereof;

upon the forefront [06440] [04136] of the mitre [04701] it shall be. 2 28 38 And it shall be upon Aaron's [0175] forehead [04696], that Aaron [0175] may bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the holy things [06944], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall hallow [06942] in all their holy [06944] gifts [04979]; and it shall be always [08548] upon his forehead [04696], that they may be accepted [07522] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 2 28 39 And thou shalt embroider [07660] the coat [03801] of fine linen [08336], and thou shalt make [06213] the mitre [04701] of fine linen [08336], and thou shalt make [06213] the girdle [073] of needlework [07551] [04639]. 2 28 40 And for Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] thou shalt make [06213] coats [03801], and thou shalt make [06213] for them girdles [073], and bonnets [04021] shalt thou make [06213] for them, for glory [03519] and for beauty [08597]. 2 28 41 And thou shalt put [03847] them upon Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], and his sons [01121] with him; and shalt anoint [04886] them, and consecrate [04390] [03027] them, and sanctify [06942] them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]. 2 28 42 And thou shalt make [06213] them linen [0906] breeches [04370] to cover [03680] their nakedness [01320] [06172]; from the loins [04975] even unto the thighs [03409] they shall reach: 2 28 43 And they shall be upon Aaron [0175], and upon his sons [01121], when they come [0935] in unto the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], or when they come near [05066] unto the altar [04196] to minister [08334] in the holy [06944] place; that they bear [05375] not iniquity [05771], and die [04191]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] unto him and his seed [02233] after [0310] him. 2 29 1 And this is the thing [01697] that thou shalt do [06213] unto them to hallow [06942] them, to minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]: Take [03947] one [0259] young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499], and two [08147] rams [0352] without blemish [08549], 2 29 2 And unleavened [04682] bread [03899], and cakes [02471] unleavened [04682] tempered [01101] with oil [08081], and wafers [07550] unleavened [04682] anointed [04886] with oil [08081]: of wheaten [02406] flour [05560] shalt thou make [06213] them. 2 29 3 And thou shalt put [05414] them into one [0259] basket [05536], and bring [07126] them in the basket [05536], with the bullock [06499] and the two [08147] rams [0352]. 2 29 4 And Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] thou shalt bring [07126] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shalt wash [07364] them with water [04325]. 2 29 5 And thou shalt take [03947] the garments [0899], and put [03847] upon Aaron [0175] the coat [03801], and the robe [04598] of the ephod [0646], and the ephod [0646], and the breastplate [02833], and gird [0640] him with the curious girdle [02805] of the ephod [0646]: 2 29 6 And thou shalt put [07760] the mitre [04701] upon his head [07218], and put [05414] the holy [06944] crown [05145] upon the mitre [04701]. 2 29 7 Then shalt thou take [03947] the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and pour [03332] it upon his head [07218], and anoint [04886] him. 2 29 8 And thou shalt bring [07126] his sons [01121], and put [03847] coats [03801] upon them. 2 29 9 And thou shalt gird [02296] them with girdles [073], Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and put [02280] the bonnets [04021] on them: and the priest's office [03550] shall be theirs for a perpetual [05769] statute [02708]: and thou shalt consecrate [04390] [03027] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121]. 2 29 10 And thou shalt cause a bullock [06499] to be brought [07126] before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall put [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the bullock [06499]. 2 29 11 And thou shalt kill [07819] the bullock [06499] before [06440] the LORD [03068], by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 2 29 12 And thou shalt take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] with thy finger [0676], and pour [08210] all the blood [01818] beside [0413] the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196]. 2 29 13 And thou shalt take [03947] all the fat [02459] that covereth [03680] the inwards [07130], and the caul [03508] that is above the liver [03516], and the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and the fat [02459] that is upon them, and burn [06999] them upon the altar [04196]. 2 29 14 But the flesh [01320] of the bullock [06499], and his skin [05785], and his dung [06569], shalt thou burn [08313] with fire [0784] without [02351] the camp [04264]: it is a sin offering [02403]. 2 29 15 Thou shalt also take [03947] one [0259] ram [0352]; and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall put [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352]. 2 29 16 And thou shalt slay [07819] the ram [0352], and thou shalt take [03947] his blood [01818], and sprinkle [02236] it round about [05439] upon the altar [04196]. 2 29 17 And thou shalt cut [05408] the ram [0352] in pieces [05409], and wash [07364] the inwards [07130] of him, and his legs [03767], and put [05414] them unto his pieces [05409], and unto his head [07218]. 2 29 18 And thou shalt burn [06999] the whole ram [0352] upon the altar [04196]: it is a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a sweet [05207] savour [07381], an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 29 19 And thou shalt take [03947] the other [08145] ram [0352]; and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall put [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352]. 2 29 20 Then shalt thou kill [07819] the ram [0352], and take [03947] of his blood [01818], and put [05414] it upon the tip [08571] of the right ear [0241] of Aaron [0175], and upon the tip [08571] of the right [03233] ear [0241] of his sons [01121], and upon the thumb [0931] of their right [03233] hand [03027], and upon the great toe [0931] of their right [03233] foot [07272], and sprinkle [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439]. 2 29 21 And thou shalt take [03947] of the blood [01818] that is upon the altar [04196], and of the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and sprinkle [05137] it upon Aaron [0175], and upon his garments [0899], and upon his sons [01121], and upon the garments [0899] of his sons [01121] with him: and he shall be hallowed [06942], and his garments [0899], and his sons [01121], and his sons [01121]' garments [0899] with him. 2 29 22 Also thou shalt take [03947] of the ram [0352] the fat [02459] and the rump [0451], and the fat [02459] that covereth [03680] the inwards [07130], and the caul [03508] above the liver [03516], and the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and the fat [02459] that is upon them, and the right [03225] shoulder [07785]; for it is a ram [0352] of consecration [04394]: 2 29 23 And one [0259] loaf [03603] of bread [03899], and one [0259] cake [02471] of oiled [08081] bread, and one [0259] wafer [07550] out of the basket [05536] of the unleavened bread [04682] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 2 29 24 And thou shalt put [07760] all in the hands [03709] of Aaron [0175], and in the hands [03709] of his sons [01121]; and shalt wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 2 29 25 And thou shalt receive [03947] them of their hands [03027], and burn [06999] them upon the altar [04196] for a burnt offering [05930], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: it is an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 29 26 And thou shalt take [03947] the breast [02373] of the ram [0352] of Aaron's [0175] consecration [04394], and wave [05130] it for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and it shall be thy part [04490]. 2 29 27 And thou shalt sanctify [06942] the breast [02373] of the wave offering [08573], and the shoulder [07785] of the heave offering [08641], which is waved [05130], and which is heaved up [07311], of the ram [0352] of the consecration [04394], even of that which [0834] is for Aaron [0175], and of that which is for his sons [01121]: 2 29 28 And it shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]' by a statute [02706] for ever [05769] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: for it is an heave offering [08641]: and it shall be an heave offering [08641] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478] of the sacrifice [02077] of their peace offerings [08002], even their heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 29 29 And the holy [06944] garments [0899] of Aaron [0175] shall be his sons [01121]' after [0310] him, to be anointed [04888] therein, and to be consecrated [04390] [03027] in them. 2 29 30 And that son [01121] that is priest [03548] in his stead shall put [03847] them on seven [07651] days [03117], when he cometh [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] to minister [08334] in the holy [06944] place. 2 29 31 And thou shalt take [03947] the ram [0352] of the consecration [04394], and seethe [01310] his flesh [01320] in the holy [06918] place [04725]. 2 29 32 And Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of the ram [0352], and the bread [03899] that is in the basket [05536], by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 2 29 33 And they shall eat [0398] those things wherewith the atonement was made [03722], to consecrate [04390] [03027] and to sanctify [06942] them: but a stranger [02114] shall not eat [0398] thereof, because they are holy [06944]. 2 29 34 And if ought of the flesh [01320] of the consecrations [04394], or of the bread [03899], remain [03498] unto the morning [01242], then thou shalt burn [08313] the remainder [03498] with fire [0784]: it shall not be eaten [0398], because it is holy [06944]. 2 29 35 And thus shalt thou do [06213] unto Aaron [0175], and to his sons [01121], according to all things which I have commanded [06680] thee: seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou consecrate [04390] [03027] them. 2 29 36 And thou shalt offer [06213] every day [03117] a bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403] for atonement [03725]: and thou shalt cleanse [02398] the altar [04196], when thou hast made an atonement [03722] for it, and thou shalt anoint [04886] it, to sanctify [06942] it. 2 29 37 Seven [07651] days [03117] thou shalt make an atonement [03722] for the altar [04196], and sanctify [06942] it; and it shall be an altar [04196] most holy [06944] [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] the altar [04196] shall be holy [06942]. 2 29 38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer [06213] upon the altar [04196]; two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] day [03117] by day [03117] continually [08548]. 2 29 39 The one [0259] lamb [03532] thou shalt offer [06213] in the morning [01242]; and the other [08145] lamb [03532] thou shalt offer [06213] at even [06153]: 2 29 40 And with the one [0259] lamb [03532] a tenth [06241] deal of flour [05560] mingled [01101] with the fourth part [07253] of an hin [01969] of beaten [03795] oil [08081]; and the fourth part [07243] of an hin [01969] of wine [03196] for a drink offering [05262]. 2 29 41 And the other [08145] lamb [03532] thou shalt offer [06213] at even [06153], and shalt do [06213] thereto according to the meat offering [04503] of the morning [01242], and according to the drink offering [05262] thereof, for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 29 42 This shall be a continual [08548] burnt offering [05930] throughout your generations [01755] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: where I will meet [03259] you, to speak [01696] there unto thee. 2 29 43 And there I will meet [03259] with the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and the tabernacle shall be sanctified [06942] by my glory [03519]. 2 29 44 And I will sanctify [06942] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the altar [04196]: I will sanctify [06942] also both Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], to minister to me in the priest's office [03547]. 2 29 45 And I will dwell [07931] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and will be their God [0430]. 2 29 46 And they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430], that brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], that I may dwell [07931] among [08432] them: I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 2 30 1 And thou shalt make [06213] an altar [04196] to burn [04729] incense [07004] upon: of shittim [07848] wood [06086] shalt thou make [06213] it. 2 30 2 A cubit [0520] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof; foursquare [07251] shall it be: and two cubits [0520] shall be the height [06967] thereof: the horns [07161] thereof shall be of the same. 2 30 3 And thou shalt overlay [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091], the top [01406] thereof, and the sides [07023] thereof round about [05439], and the horns [07161] thereof; and thou shalt make [06213] unto it a crown [02213] of gold [02091] round about [05439]. 2 30 4 And two [08147] golden [02091] rings [02885] shalt thou make [06213] to it under the crown [02213] of it, by the two [08147] corners [06763] thereof, upon the two [08147] sides [06654] of it shalt thou make [06213] it; and they shall be for places [01004] for the staves [0905] to bear [05375] it withal [01992]. 2 30 5 And thou shalt make [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlay [06823] them with gold [02091]. 2 30 6 And thou shalt put [05414] it before [06440] the vail [06532] that is by the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], before [06440] the mercy seat [03727] that is over the testimony [05715], where I will meet [03259] with thee. 2 30 7 And Aaron [0175] shall burn [06999] thereon sweet [05561] incense [07004] every morning [01242]: when he dresseth [03190] the lamps [05216], he shall burn incense [06999] upon it. 2 30 8 And when Aaron [0175] lighteth [05927] the lamps [05216] at even [06153], he shall burn incense [06999] upon it, a perpetual [08548] incense [07004] before [06440] the LORD [03068] throughout your generations [01755]. 2 30 9 Ye shall offer [05927] no strange [02114] incense [07004] thereon, nor burnt sacrifice [05930], nor meat offering [04503]; neither shall ye pour [05258] drink offering [05262] thereon. 2 30 10 And Aaron [0175] shall make an atonement [03722] upon the horns [07161] of it once [0259] in a year [08141] with the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] of atonements [03725]: once [0259] in the year [08141] shall he make atonement [03722] upon it throughout your generations [01755]: it is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 30 11 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 30 12 When thou takest [05375] the sum [07218] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] after their number [06485], then shall they give [05414] every man [0376] a ransom [03724] for his soul [05315] unto the LORD [03068], when thou numberest [06485] them; that there be no plague [05063] among them, when thou numberest [06485] them. 2 30 13 This they shall give [05414], every one that passeth [05674] among [05921] them that are numbered [06485], half [04276] a shekel [08255] after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944]: (a shekel [08255] is twenty [06242] gerahs [01626]:) an half [04276] shekel [08255] shall be the offering [08641] of the LORD [03068]. 2 30 14 Every one that passeth [05674] among them that are numbered [06485], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605], shall give [05414] an offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 30 15 The rich [06223] shall not give more [07235], and the poor [01800] shall not give less [04591] than half [04276] a shekel [08255], when they give [05414] an offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068], to make an atonement [03722] for your souls [05315]. 2 30 16 And thou shalt take [03947] the atonement [03725] money [03701] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and shalt appoint [05414] it for the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]; that it may be a memorial [02146] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to make an atonement [03722] for your souls [05315]. 2 30 17 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 30 18 Thou shalt also make [06213] a laver [03595] of brass [05178], and his foot [03653] also of brass [05178], to wash [07364] withal: and thou shalt put [05414] it between the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] and the altar [04196], and thou shalt put [05414] water [04325] therein. 2 30 19 For Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall wash [07364] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272] thereat: 2 30 20 When they go [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], they shall wash [07364] with water [04325], that they die [04191] not; or when they come near [05066] to the altar [04196] to minister [08334], to burn offering [06999] made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: 2 30 21 So they shall wash [07364] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272], that they die [04191] not: and it shall be a statute [02706] for ever [05769] to them, even to him and to his seed [02233] throughout their generations [01755]. 2 30 22 Moreover the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 30 23 Take [03947] thou also unto thee principal [07218] spices [01314], of pure [01865] myrrh [04753] five [02568] hundred [03967] shekels, and of sweet [01314] cinnamon [07076] half [04276] so much [04276], even two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] shekels, and of sweet [01314] calamus [07070] two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] shekels, 2 30 24 And of cassia [06916] five [02568] hundred [03967] shekels, after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944], and of oil [08081] olive [02132] an hin [01969]: 2 30 25 And thou shalt make [06213] it an oil [08081] of holy [06944] ointment [04888], an ointment [07545] compound [04842] after the art [04639] of the apothecary [07543]: it shall be an holy [06944] anointing [04888] oil [08081]. 2 30 26 And thou shalt anoint [04886] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] therewith, and the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], 2 30 27 And the table [07979] and all his vessels [03627], and the candlestick [04501] and his vessels [03627], and the altar [04196] of incense [07004], 2 30 28 And the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930] with all his vessels [03627], and the laver [03595] and his foot [03653]. 2 30 29 And thou shalt sanctify [06942] them, that they may be most [06944] holy [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942]. 2 30 30 And thou shalt anoint [04886] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and consecrate [06942] them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]. 2 30 31 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], This shall be an holy [06944] anointing [04888] oil [08081] unto me throughout your generations [01755]. 2 30 32 Upon man's [0120] flesh [01320] shall it not be poured [03251], neither shall ye make [06213] any other like it, after the composition [04971] of it: it is holy [06944], and it shall be holy [06944] unto you. 2 30 33 Whosoever [0834] [0376] compoundeth [07543] any like it, or whosoever putteth [05414] any of it upon a stranger [02114], shall even be cut [03772] off from his people [05971]. 2 30 34 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] unto thee sweet spices [05561], stacte [05198], and onycha [07827], and galbanum [02464]; these sweet [05561] spices [05561] with pure [02134] frankincense [03828]: of each [0905] shall there be a like [0905] weight: 2 30 35 And thou shalt make [06213] it a perfume [07004], a confection [07545] after the art [04639] of the apothecary [07543], tempered [04414] together, pure [02889] and holy [06944]: 2 30 36 And thou shalt beat [07833] some of it very small [01854], and put [05414] of it before [06440] the testimony [05715] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], where I will meet [03259] with thee: it shall be unto you most [06944] holy [06944]. 2 30 37 And as for the perfume [07004] which thou shalt make [06213], ye shall not make [06213] to yourselves according to the composition [04971] thereof: it shall be unto thee holy [06944] for the LORD [03068]. 2 30 38 Whosoever [0834] [0376] shall make [06213] like unto that, to smell [07306] thereto, shall even be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]. 2 31 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 31 2 See [07200], I have called [07121] by name [08034] Bezaleel [01212] the son [01121] of Uri [0221], the son [01121] of Hur [02354], of the tribe [04294] of Judah [03063]: 2 31 3 And I have filled [04390] him with the spirit [07307] of God [0430], in wisdom [02451], and in understanding [08394], and in knowledge [01847], and in all manner of workmanship [04399], 2 31 4 To devise [02803] cunning works [04284], to work [06213] in gold [02091], and in silver [03701], and in brass [05178], 2 31 5 And in cutting [02799] of stones [068], to set [04390] them, and in carving [02799] of timber [06086], to work [06213] in all manner of workmanship [04399]. 2 31 6 And I, behold, I have given [05414] with him Aholiab [0171], the son [01121] of Ahisamach [0294], of the tribe [04294] of Dan [01835]: and in the hearts [03820] of all that are wise [02450] hearted [03820] I have put [05414] wisdom [02451], that they may make [06213] all that I have commanded [06680] thee; 2 31 7 The tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], and the mercy seat [03727] that is thereupon, and all the furniture [03627] of the tabernacle [0168], 2 31 8 And the table [07979] and his furniture [03627], and the pure [02889] candlestick [04501] with all his furniture [03627], and the altar [04196] of incense [07004], 2 31 9 And the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930] with all his furniture [03627], and the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], 2 31 10 And the cloths [0899] of service [08278], and the holy [06944] garments [0899] for Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], and the garments [0899] of his sons [01121], to minister in the priest's office [03547], 2 31 11 And the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and sweet [05561] incense [07004] for the holy [06944] place: according to all that I have commanded [06680] thee shall they do [06213]. 2 31 12 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 31 13 Speak [01696] thou also unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Verily [0389] my sabbaths [07676] ye shall keep [08104]: for it is a sign [0226] between me and you throughout your generations [01755]; that ye may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] that doth sanctify [06942] you. 2 31 14 Ye shall keep [08104] the sabbath [07676] therefore; for it is holy [06944] unto you: every one that defileth [02490] it shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: for whosoever doeth [06213] any work [04399] therein, that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]. 2 31 15 Six [08337] days [03117] may work [04399] be done [06213]; but in the seventh [07637] is the sabbath [07676] of rest [07677], holy [06944] to the LORD [03068]: whosoever doeth [06213] any work [04399] in the sabbath [07676] day [03117], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 2 31 16 Wherefore the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall keep [08104] the sabbath [07676], to observe [06213] the sabbath [07676] throughout their generations [01755], for a perpetual [05769] covenant [01285]. 2 31 17 It is a sign [0226] between me and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for ever [05769]: for in six [08337] days [03117] the LORD [03068] made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] he rested [07673], and was refreshed [05314]. 2 31 18 And he gave [05414] unto Moses [04872], when he had made an end [03615] of communing [01696] with him upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], two [08147] tables [03871] of testimony [05715], tables [03871] of stone [068], written [03789] with the finger [0676] of God [0430]. 2 32 1 And when the people [05971] saw [07200] that Moses [04872] delayed [0954] to come down [03381] out of the mount [02022], the people [05971] gathered themselves together [06950] unto Aaron [0175], and said [0559] unto him, Up [06965], make [06213] us gods [0430], which shall go [03212] before [06440] us; for as for this Moses [04872], the man [0376] that brought [05927] us up out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], we wot [03045] not what is become of him. 2 32 2 And Aaron [0175] said [0559] unto them, Break off [06561] the golden [02091] earrings [05141], which are in the ears [0241] of your wives [0802], of your sons [01121], and of your daughters [01323], and bring [0935] them unto me. 2 32 3 And all the people [05971] brake off [06561] the golden [02091] earrings [05141] which were in their ears [0241], and brought [0935] them unto Aaron [0175]. 2 32 4 And he received [03947] them at their hand [03027], and fashioned [06696] it with a graving tool [02747], after he had made [06213] it a molten [04541] calf [05695]: and they said [0559], These be thy gods [0430], O Israel [03478], which brought [05927] thee up out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 32 5 And when Aaron [0175] saw [07200] it, he built [01129] an altar [04196] before [06440] it; and Aaron [0175] made proclamation [07121], and said [0559], To morrow [04279] is a feast [02282] to the LORD [03068]. 2 32 6 And they rose up early [07925] on the morrow [04283], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and brought [05066] peace offerings [08002]; and the people [05971] sat [03427] down to eat [0398] and to drink [08354], and rose up [06965] to play [06711]. 2 32 7 And the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872], Go [03212], get thee down [03381]; for thy people [05971], which thou broughtest [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], have corrupted [07843] themselves: 2 32 8 They have turned [05493] aside quickly [04118] out of the way [01870] which I commanded [06680] them: they have made [06213] them a molten [04541] calf [05695], and have worshipped [07812] it, and have sacrificed [02076] thereunto, and said [0559], These be thy gods [0430], O Israel [03478], which have brought thee up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 2 32 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], I have seen [07200] this people [05971], and, behold, it is a stiffnecked [07186] [06203] people [05971]: 2 32 10 Now therefore let me alone [03240], that my wrath [0639] may wax hot [02734] against them, and that I may consume [03615] them: and I will make [06213] of thee a great [01419] nation [01471]. 2 32 11 And Moses [04872] besought [02470] [06440] the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and said [0559], LORD [03068], why doth thy wrath [0639] wax hot [02734] against thy people [05971], which thou hast brought forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] with great [01419] power [03581], and with a mighty [02389] hand [03027]? 2 32 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians [04714] speak [0559], and say [0559], For mischief [07451] did he bring [03318] them out, to slay [02026] them in the mountains [02022], and to consume [03615] them from the face [06440] of the earth [0127]? Turn [07725] from thy fierce [02740] wrath [0639], and repent [05162] of this evil [07451] against thy people [05971]. 2 32 13 Remember [02142] Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Israel [03478], thy servants [05650], to whom thou swarest [07650] by thine own self, and saidst [01696] unto them, I will multiply [07235] your seed [02233] as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064], and all this land [0776] that I have spoken [0559] of will I give [05414] unto your seed [02233], and they shall inherit [05157] it for ever [05769]. 2 32 14 And the LORD [03068] repented [05162] of the evil [07451] which he thought [01696] to do [06213] unto his people [05971]. 2 32 15 And Moses [04872] turned [06437], and went down [03381] from the mount [02022], and the two [08147] tables [03871] of the testimony [05715] were in his hand [03027]: the tables [03871] were written [03789] on both [08147] their sides [05676]; on the one side and on the other were they written [03789]. 2 32 16 And the tables [03871] were the work [04639] of God [0430], and the writing [04385] was the writing [04385] of God [0430], graven [02801] upon the tables [03871]. 2 32 17 And when Joshua [03091] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the people [05971] as they shouted [07452], he said [0559] unto Moses [04872], There is a noise [06963] of war [04421] in the camp [04264]. 2 32 18 And he said [0559], It is not the voice [06963] of them that shout [06030] for mastery [01369], neither is it the voice [06963] of them that cry [06030] for being overcome [02476]: but the noise [06963] of them that sing [06031] do I hear [08085]. 2 32 19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh [07126] unto the camp [04264], that he saw [07200] the calf [05695], and the dancing [04246]: and Moses [04872]' anger [0639] waxed hot [02734], and he cast [07993] the tables [03871] out of his hands [03027], and brake [07665] them beneath [08478] the mount [02022]. 2 32 20 And he took [03947] the calf [05695] which they had made [06213], and burnt [08313] it in the fire [0784], and ground [02912] it to powder [01854], and strawed [02219] it upon [06440] the water [04325], and made the children [01121] of Israel [03478] drink [08248] of it. 2 32 21 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], What did [06213] this people [05971] unto thee, that thou hast brought [0935] so great [01419] a sin [02401] upon them? 2 32 22 And Aaron [0175] said [0559], Let not the anger [0639] of my lord [0113] wax hot [02734]: thou knowest [03045] the people [05971], that they are set on mischief [07451]. 2 32 23 For they said [0559] unto me, Make [06213] us gods [0430], which shall go [03212] before [06440] us: for as for this Moses [04872], the man [0376] that brought us up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], we wot [03045] not what is become of him. 2 32 24 And I said [0559] unto them, Whosoever hath any gold [02091], let them break [06561] it off. So they gave [05414] it me: then I cast [07993] it into the fire [0784], and there came out [03318] this calf [05695]. 2 32 25 And when Moses [04872] saw [07200] that the people [05971] were naked [06544]; (for Aaron [0175] had made them naked [06544] unto their shame [08103] among their enemies [06965] 2 32 26 Then Moses [04872] stood [05975] in the gate [08179] of the camp [04264], and said [0559], Who is on the LORD'S [03068] side? let him come unto me. And all the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] gathered [0622] themselves together unto him. 2 32 27 And he said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Put [07760] every man [0376] his sword [02719] by his side [03409], and go [05674] in and out [07725] from gate [08179] to gate [08179] throughout the camp [04264], and slay [02026] every man [0376] his brother [0251], and every man [0376] his companion [07453], and every man [0376] his neighbour [07138]. 2 32 28 And the children [01121] of Levi [03878] did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872]: and there fell [05307] of the people [05971] that day [03117] about three [07969] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 2 32 29 For Moses [04872] had said [0559], Consecrate yourselves [04390] [03027] to day [03117] to the LORD [03068], even [03588] every man [0376] upon his son [01121], and upon his brother [0251]; that he may bestow [05414] upon you a blessing [01293] this day [03117]. 2 32 30 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Ye have sinned [02398] a great [01419] sin [02401]: and now I will go up [05927] unto the LORD [03068]; peradventure [0194] I shall make an atonement [03722] for [01157] your sin [02403]. 2 32 31 And Moses [04872] returned [07725] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Oh [0577], this people [05971] have sinned [02398] a great [01419] sin [02401], and have made [06213] them gods [0430] of gold [02091]. 2 32 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive [05375] their sin [02403]--; and if not, blot [04229] me, I pray thee, out of thy book [05612] which thou hast written [03789]. 2 32 33 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Whosoever [0834] hath sinned [02398] against me, him will I blot out [04229] of my book [05612]. 2 32 34 Therefore now go [03212], lead [05148] the people [05971] unto the place of which I have spoken [01696] unto thee: behold, mine Angel [04397] shall go [03212] before [06440] thee: nevertheless in the day [03117] when I visit [06485] I will visit [06485] their sin [02403] upon them. 2 32 35 And the LORD [03068] plagued [05062] the people [05971], because [0834] they made [06213] the calf [05695], which [0834] Aaron [0175] made [06213]. 2 33 1 And the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872], Depart [03212], and go up [05927] hence, thou and the people [05971] which thou hast brought up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], unto the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290], saying [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] will I give [05414] it: 2 33 2 And I will send [07971] an angel [04397] before [06440] thee; and I will drive out [01644] the Canaanite [03669], the Amorite [0567], and the Hittite [02850], and the Perizzite [06522], the Hivite [02340], and the Jebusite [02983]: 2 33 3 Unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]: for I will not go up [05927] in the midst [07130] of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked [07186] [06203] people [05971]: lest I consume [03615] thee in the way [01870]. 2 33 4 And when the people [05971] heard [08085] these evil [07451] tidings [01697], they mourned [056]: and no man [0376] did put [07896] on him his ornaments [05716]. 2 33 5 For the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Ye are a stiffnecked [07186] [06203] people [05971]: I will come up [05927] into the midst [07130] of thee in a [0259] moment [07281], and consume [03615] thee: therefore now put off [03381] thy ornaments [05716] from thee, that I may know [03045] what to do [06213] unto thee. 2 33 6 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] stripped [05337] themselves of their ornaments [05716] by the mount [02022] Horeb [02722]. 2 33 7 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the tabernacle [0168], and pitched [05186] it without [02351] the camp [04264], afar off [07368] from the camp [04264], and called [07121] it the Tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. And it came to pass, that every one which sought [01245] the LORD [03068] went out [03318] unto the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], which was without [02351] the camp [04264]. 2 33 8 And it came to pass, when Moses [04872] went out [03318] unto the tabernacle [0168], that all the people [05971] rose up [06965], and stood [05324] every man [0376] at his tent [0168] door [06607], and looked [05027] after [0310] Moses [04872], until he was gone [0935] into the tabernacle [0168]. 2 33 9 And it came to pass, as Moses [04872] entered [0935] into the tabernacle [0168], the cloudy [06051] pillar [05982] descended [03381], and stood [05975] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168], and the LORD talked [01696] with Moses [04872]. 2 33 10 And all the people [05971] saw [07200] the cloudy [06051] pillar [05982] stand [05975] at the tabernacle [0168] door [06607]: and all the people [05971] rose up [06965] and worshipped [07812], every man [0376] in his tent [0168] door [06607]. 2 33 11 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] face [06440] to face [06440], as a man [0376] speaketh [01696] unto his friend [07453]. And he turned again [07725] into the camp [04264]: but his servant [08334] Joshua [03091], the son [01121] of Nun [05126], a young man [05288], departed [04185] not out [08432] of the tabernacle [0168]. 2 33 12 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], See [07200], thou sayest [0559] unto me, Bring up [05927] this people [05971]: and thou hast not let me know [03045] whom thou wilt send [07971] with me. Yet thou hast said [0559], I know [03045] thee by name [08034], and thou hast also found [04672] grace [02580] in my sight [05869]. 2 33 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], shew [03045] me now thy way [01870], that I may know [03045] thee, that I may find [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869]: and consider [07200] that this nation [01471] is thy people [05971]. 2 33 14 And he said [0559], My presence [06440] shall go [03212] with thee, and I will give thee rest [05117]. 2 33 15 And he said [0559] unto him, If thy presence [06440] go [01980] not with me, carry us not up [05927] hence. 2 33 16 For wherein shall it be known [03045] here [0645] that I and thy people [05971] have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869]? is it not in that thou goest [03212] with us? so shall we be separated [06395], I and thy people [05971], from all the people [05971] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 2 33 17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], I will do [06213] this thing [01697] also that thou hast spoken [01696]: for thou hast found [04672] grace [02580] in my sight [05869], and I know [03045] thee by name [08034]. 2 33 18 And he said [0559], I beseech thee [04994], shew [07200] me thy glory [03519]. 2 33 19 And he said [0559], I will make all my goodness [02898] pass [05674] before thee, and I will proclaim [07121] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] before [06440] thee; and will be gracious [02603] to whom I will be gracious [02603], and will shew mercy [07355] on whom I will shew mercy [07355]. 2 33 20 And he said [0559], Thou canst [03201] not see [07200] my face [06440]: for there shall no man [0120] see [07200] me, and live [02425]. 2 33 21 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Behold, there is a place [04725] by me, and thou shalt stand [05324] upon a rock [06697]: 2 33 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory [03519] passeth by [05674], that I will put [07760] thee in a clift [05366] of the rock [06697], and will cover [05526] thee with my hand [03709] while [05704] I pass by [05674]: 2 33 23 And I will take [05493] away mine hand [03709], and thou shalt see [07200] my back parts [0268]: but my face [06440] shall not be seen [07200]. 2 34 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Hew [06458] thee two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223]: and I will write [03789] upon these tables [03871] the words [01697] that were in the first [07223] tables [03871], which thou brakest [07665]. 2 34 2 And be ready [03559] in the morning [01242], and come up [05927] in the morning [01242] unto mount [02022] Sinai [05514], and present [05324] thyself there to me in the top [07218] of the mount [02022]. 2 34 3 And no man [0376] shall come up [05927] with thee, neither [0408] let any man [0376] be seen [07200] throughout all the mount [02022]; neither let the flocks [06629] nor herds [01241] feed [07462] before [04136] that mount [02022]. 2 34 4 And he hewed [06458] two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223]; and Moses [04872] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and went up [05927] unto mount [02022] Sinai [05514], as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] him, and took [03947] in his hand [03027] the two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068]. 2 34 5 And the LORD [03068] descended [03381] in the cloud [06051], and stood [03320] with him there, and proclaimed [07121] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 2 34 6 And the LORD [03068] passed by [05674] before him [06440], and proclaimed [07121], The LORD [03068], The LORD [03068] God [0410], merciful [07349] and gracious [02587], longsuffering [0750] [0639], and abundant [07227] in goodness [02617] and truth [0571], 2 34 7 Keeping [05341] mercy [02617] for thousands [0505], forgiving [05375] iniquity [05771] and transgression [06588] and sin [02403], and that will by no means [05352] clear [05352] the guilty; visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121], and upon the children's [01121] children, unto the third [08029] and to the fourth [07256] generation. 2 34 8 And Moses [04872] made haste [04116], and bowed his head [06915] toward the earth [0776], and worshipped [07812]. 2 34 9 And he said [0559], If now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], O Lord [0136], let my Lord [0136], I pray thee, go [03212] among [07130] us; for it is a stiffnecked [07186] [06203] people [05971]; and pardon [05545] our iniquity [05771] and our sin [02403], and take us for thine inheritance [05157]. 2 34 10 And he said [0559], Behold, I make [03772] a covenant [01285]: before all thy people [05971] I will do [06213] marvels [06381], such as have not been done [01254] in all the earth [0776], nor in any nation [01471]: and all the people [05971] among [07130] which thou art shall see [07200] the work [04639] of the LORD [03068]: for it is a terrible thing [03372] that I will do [06213] with thee. 2 34 11 Observe [08104] thou that which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]: behold, I drive out [01644] before [06440] thee the Amorite [0567], and the Canaanite [03669], and the Hittite [02850], and the Perizzite [06522], and the Hivite [02340], and the Jebusite [02983]. 2 34 12 Take heed [08104] to thyself, lest thou make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935], lest it be for a snare [04170] in the midst [07130] of thee: 2 34 13 But ye shall destroy [05422] their altars [04196], break [07665] their images [04676], and cut down [03772] their groves [0842]: 2 34 14 For thou shalt worship [07812] no other [0312] god [0410]: for the LORD [03068], whose name [08034] is Jealous [07067], is a jealous [07067] God [0410]: 2 34 15 Lest thou make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], and they go a whoring [02181] after [0310] their gods [0430], and do sacrifice [02076] unto their gods [0430], and one call [07121] thee, and thou eat [0398] of his sacrifice [02077]; 2 34 16 And thou take [03947] of their daughters [01323] unto thy sons [01121], and their daughters [01323] go a whoring [02181] after [0310] their gods [0430], and make [02181] thy sons [01121] go a whoring [02181] after [0310] their gods [0430]. 2 34 17 Thou shalt make [06213] thee no molten [04541] gods [0430]. 2 34 18 The feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] shalt thou keep [08104]. Seven [07651] days [03117] thou shalt eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682], as I commanded [06680] thee, in the time [04150] of the month [02320] Abib [024]: for in the month [02320] Abib [024] thou camest out [03318] from Egypt [04714]. 2 34 19 All that openeth [06363] the matrix [07358] is mine; and every firstling [06363] among thy cattle [04735], whether ox [07794] or sheep [07716], that is male [02142]. 2 34 20 But the firstling [06363] of an ass [02543] thou shalt redeem [06299] with a lamb [07716]: and if thou redeem [06299] him not, then shalt thou break his neck [06202]. All the firstborn [01060] of thy sons [01121] thou shalt redeem [06299]. And none shall appear [07200] before [06440] me empty [07387]. 2 34 21 Six [08337] days [03117] thou shalt work [05647], but on the seventh [07637] day [03117] thou shalt rest [07673]: in earing time [02758] and in harvest [07105] thou shalt rest [07673]. 2 34 22 And thou shalt observe [06213] the feast [02282] of weeks [07620], of the firstfruits [01061] of wheat [02406] harvest [07105], and the feast [02282] of ingathering [0614] at the year's [08141] end [08622]. 2 34 23 Thrice [06471] [07969] in the year [08141] shall all your men children [02138] appear [07200] before [06440] the Lord [0113] GOD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 2 34 24 For I will cast out [03423] the nations [01471] before [06440] thee, and enlarge [07337] thy borders [01366]: neither shall any man [0376] desire [02530] thy land [0776], when thou shalt go up [05927] to appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] thrice [06471] [07969] in the year [08141]. 2 34 25 Thou shalt not offer [07819] the blood [01818] of my sacrifice [02077] with leaven [02557]; neither shall the sacrifice [02077] of the feast [02282] of the passover [06453] be left [03885] unto the morning [01242]. 2 34 26 The first [07225] of the firstfruits [01061] of thy land [0127] thou shalt bring [0935] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. Thou shalt not seethe [01310] a kid [01423] in his mother's [0517] milk [02461]. 2 34 27 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Write [03789] thou these words [01697]: for after the tenor [06310] of these words [01697] I have made [03772] a covenant [01285] with thee and with Israel [03478]. 2 34 28 And he was there with the LORD [03068] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]; he did neither eat [0398] bread [03899], nor drink [08354] water [04325]. And he wrote [03789] upon the tables [03871] the words [01697] of the covenant [01285], the ten [06235] commandments [01697]. 2 34 29 And it came to pass, when Moses [04872] came down [03381] from mount [02022] Sinai [05514] with the two [08147] tables [03871] of testimony [05715] in Moses [04872]' hand [03027], when he came down [03381] from the mount [02022], that Moses [04872] wist [03045] not that the skin [05785] of his face [06440] shone [07160] while he talked [01696] with him. 2 34 30 And when Aaron [0175] and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] Moses [04872], behold, the skin [05785] of his face [06440] shone [07160]; and they were afraid [03372] to come nigh [05066] him. 2 34 31 And Moses [04872] called [07121] unto them; and Aaron [0175] and all the rulers [05387] of the congregation [05712] returned [07725] unto him: and Moses [04872] talked [01696] with them. 2 34 32 And afterward [0310] all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came nigh [05066]: and he gave them in commandment [06680] all that the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] with him in mount [02022] Sinai [05514]. 2 34 33 And till Moses [04872] had done [03615] speaking [01696] with them, he put [05414] a vail [04533] on his face [06440]. 2 34 34 But when Moses [04872] went in [0935] before [06440] the LORD [03068] to speak [01696] with him, he took [05493] the vail [04533] off [05493], until he came out [03318]. And he came out [03318], and spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] that which he was commanded [06680]. 2 34 35 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] the face [06440] of Moses [04872], that the skin [05785] of Moses [04872]' face [06440] shone [07160]: and Moses [04872] put [07725] the vail [04533] upon his face [06440] again [07725], until he went [0935] in to speak [01696] with him. 2 35 1 And Moses [04872] gathered [06950] all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] together [06950], and said [0559] unto them, These are the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680], that ye should do [06213] them. 2 35 2 Six [08337] days [03117] shall work [04399] be done [06213], but on the seventh [07637] day [03117] there shall be to you an holy day [06944], a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] to the LORD [03068]: whosoever doeth [06213] work [04399] therein shall be put to death [04191]. 2 35 3 Ye shall kindle [01197] no fire [0784] throughout your habitations [04186] upon the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. 2 35 4 And Moses [04872] spake [0559] unto all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], saying [0559], 2 35 5 Take [03947] ye from among you an offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068]: whosoever [03605] is of a willing [05081] heart [03820], let him bring [0935] it, an offering [08641] of the LORD [03068]; gold [02091], and silver [03701], and brass [05178], 2 35 6 And blue [08504], and purple [0713], and scarlet [08144] [08438], and fine linen [08336], and goats [05795]' hair, 2 35 7 And rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and shittim [07848] wood [06086], 2 35 8 And oil [08081] for the light [03974], and spices [01314] for anointing [04888] oil [08081], and for the sweet [05561] incense [07004], 2 35 9 And onyx [07718] stones [068], and stones [068] to be set [04394] for the ephod [0646], and for the breastplate [02833]. 2 35 10 And every wise [02450] hearted [03820] among you shall come [0935], and make [06213] all that the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680]; 2 35 11 The tabernacle [04908], his tent [0168], and his covering [04372], his taches [07165], and his boards [07175], his bars [01280], his pillars [05982], and his sockets [0134], 2 35 12 The ark [0727], and the staves [0905] thereof, with the mercy seat [03727], and the vail [06532] of the covering [04539], 2 35 13 The table [07979], and his staves [0905], and all his vessels [03627], and the shewbread [06440] [03899], 2 35 14 The candlestick [04501] also for the light [03974], and his furniture [03627], and his lamps [05216], with the oil [08081] for the light [03974], 2 35 15 And the incense [07004] altar [04196], and his staves [0905], and the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and the sweet [05561] incense [07004], and the hanging [04539] for the door at the entering in [06607] of the tabernacle [04908], 2 35 16 The altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930], with his brasen [05178] grate [04345], his staves [0905], and all his vessels [03627], the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], 2 35 17 The hangings [07050] of the court [02691], his pillars [05982], and their sockets [0134], and the hanging [04539] for the door [08179] of the court [02691], 2 35 18 The pins [03489] of the tabernacle [04908], and the pins [03489] of the court [02691], and their cords [04340], 2 35 19 The cloths [0899] of service [08278], to do service [08334] in the holy [06944] place, the holy [06944] garments [0899] for Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], and the garments [0899] of his sons [01121], to minister in the priest's office [03547]. 2 35 20 And all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] departed [03318] from the presence [06440] of Moses [04872]. 2 35 21 And they came [0935], every one [0376] whose [0834] heart [03820] stirred him up [05375], and every one whom his spirit [07307] made willing [05068], and they brought [0935] the LORD'S [03068] offering [08641] to the work [04399] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and for all his service [05656], and for the holy [06944] garments [0899]. 2 35 22 And they came [0935], both [05921] men [0582] and women [0802], as many as [03605] were willing [05081] hearted [03820], and brought [0935] bracelets [02397], and earrings [05141], and rings [02885], and tablets [03558], all jewels [03627] of gold [02091]: and every man [0376] that offered [05130] offered an offering [08573] of gold [02091] unto the LORD [03068]. 2 35 23 And every man [0376], with whom was found [04672] blue [08504], and purple [0713], and scarlet [08144] [08438], and fine linen [08336], and goats [05795]' hair, and red [0119] skins [05785] of rams [0352], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], brought [0935] them. 2 35 24 Every one that did offer [07311] an offering [08641] of silver [03701] and brass [05178] brought [0935] the LORD'S [03068] offering [08641]: and every man, with whom was found [04672] shittim [07848] wood [06086] for any work [04399] of the service [05656], brought [0935] it. 2 35 25 And all the women [0802] that were wise [02450] hearted [03820] did spin [02901] with their hands [03027], and brought [0935] that which they had spun [04299], both of blue [08504], and of purple [0713], and of scarlet [08144] [08438], and of fine linen [08336]. 2 35 26 And all the women [0802] whose heart [03820] stirred [05375] them up in wisdom [02451] spun [02901] goats [05795]' hair. 2 35 27 And the rulers [05387] brought [0935] onyx [07718] stones [068], and stones [068] to be set [04394], for the ephod [0646], and for the breastplate [02833];

2 35 31 And he hath filled [04390] him with the spirit [07307] of God [0430], in wisdom [02451], in understanding [08394], and in knowledge [01847], and in all manner of workmanship [04399]; 2 35 32 And to devise [02803] curious works [04284], to work [06213] in gold [02091], and in silver [03701], and in brass [05178], 2 35 33 And in the cutting [02799] of stones [068], to set [04390] them, and in carving [02799] of wood [06086], to make [06213] any manner of cunning [04284] work [04399]. 2 35 34 And he hath put [05414] in his heart [03820] that he may teach [03384], both he, and Aholiab [0171], the son [01121] of Ahisamach [0294], of the tribe [04294] of Dan [01835]. 2 35 35 Them hath he filled [04390] with wisdom [02451] of heart [03820], to work [06213] all manner of work [04399], of the engraver [02796], and of the cunning workman [02803], and of the embroiderer [07551], in blue [08504], and in purple [0713], in scarlet [08144] [08438], and in fine linen [08336], and of the weaver [0707], even of them that do [06213] any [03605] work [04399], and of those that devise [02803] cunning work [04284]. 2 36 1 Then wrought [06213] Bezaleel [01212] and Aholiab [0171], and every wise [02450] hearted [03820] man [0376], in whom [01992] the LORD [03068] put [05414] wisdom [02451] and understanding [08394] to know [03045] how to work [06213] all manner of work [04399] for the service [05656] of the sanctuary [06944], according to all that the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680]. 2 36 2 And Moses [04872] called [07121] Bezaleel [01212] and Aholiab [0171], and every wise [02450] hearted [03820] man [0376], in whose heart [03820] the LORD [03068] had put [05414] wisdom [02451], even every one whose heart [03820] stirred him up [05375] to come [07126] unto the work [04399] to do [06213] it: 2 36 3 And they received [03947] of [06440] Moses [04872] all the offering [08641], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had brought [0935] for the work [04399] of the service [05656] of the sanctuary [06944], to make [06213] it withal. And they brought [0935] yet unto him free offerings [05071] every morning [01242]. 2 36 4 And all the wise men [02450], that wrought [06213] all the work [04399] of the sanctuary [06944], came [0935] every man [0376] from his work [04399] which they made [06213]; 2 36 5 And they spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], The people [05971] bring [0935] much more [07235] than enough [01767] for the service [05656] of the work [04399], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to make [06213]. 2 36 6 And Moses [04872] gave commandment [06680], and they caused it to be proclaimed [06963] [05674] throughout the camp [04264], saying [0559], Let neither man [0376] nor woman [0802] make [06213] any more work [04399] for the offering [08641] of the sanctuary [06944]. So the people [05971] were restrained [03607] from bringing [0935]. 2 36 7 For the stuff [04399] they had was sufficient [01767] for all the work [04399] to make [06213] it, and too much [03498]. 2 36 8 And every wise [02450] hearted man [03820] among them that wrought [06213] the work [04399] of the tabernacle [04908] made [06213] ten [06235] curtains [03407] of fine twined [07806] linen [08336], and blue [08504], and purple [0713], and scarlet [08144] [08438]: with cherubims [03742] of cunning [02803] work [04639] made [06213] he them. 2 36 9 The length [0753] of one [0259] curtain [03407] was twenty [06242] and eight [08083] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] of one [0259] curtain [03407] four [0702] cubits [0520]: the curtains [03407] were all of one [0259] size [04060]. 2 36 10 And he coupled [02266] the five [02568] curtains [03407] one [0259] unto another [0259]: and the other five [02568] curtains [03407] he coupled [02266] one [0259] unto another [0259]. 2 36 11 And he made [06213] loops [03924] of blue [08504] on the edge [08193] of one [0259] curtain [03407] from the selvedge [07098] in the coupling [04225]: likewise he made [06213] in the uttermost [07020] side [08193] of another curtain [03407], in the coupling [04225] of the second [08145]. 2 36 12 Fifty [02572] loops [03924] made [06213] he in one [0259] curtain [03407], and fifty [02572] loops [03924] made [06213] he in the edge [07097] of the curtain [03407] which was in the coupling [04225] of the second [08145]: the loops [03924] held [06901] one [0259] curtain to another [0259]. 2 36 13 And he made [06213] fifty [02572] taches [07165] of gold [02091], and coupled [02266] the curtains [03407] one [0259] unto another [0259] with the taches [07165]: so it became one [0259] tabernacle [04908]. 2 36 14 And he made [06213] curtains [03407] of goats [05795]' hair for the tent [0168] over the tabernacle [04908]: eleven [06249] [06240] curtains [03407] he made [06213] them. 2 36 15 The length [0753] of one [0259] curtain [03407] was thirty [07970] cubits [0520], and four [0702] cubits [0520] was the breadth [07341] of one [0259] curtain [03407]: the eleven [06249] [06240] curtains [03407] were of one [0259] size [04060]. 2 36 16 And he coupled [02266] five [02568] curtains [03407] by themselves, and six [08337] curtains [03407] by themselves. 2 36 17 And he made [06213] fifty [02572] loops [03924] upon the uttermost [07020] edge [08193] of the curtain [03407] in the coupling [04225], and fifty [02572] loops [03924] made [06213] he upon the edge [08193] of the curtain [03407] which coupleth [02279] the second [08145]. 2 36 18 And he made [06213] fifty [02572] taches [07165] of brass [05178] to couple [02266] the tent [0168] together [02266], that it might be one [0259]. 2 36 19 And he made [06213] a covering [04372] for the tent [0168] of rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and a covering [04372] of badgers [08476]' skins [05785] above [04605] that. 2 36 20 And he made [06213] boards [07175] for the tabernacle [04908] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], standing up [05975]. 2 36 21 The length [0753] of a board [07175] was ten [06235] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] of a board [07175] one [0259] cubit [0520] and a half [02677]. 2 36 22 One [0259] board [07175] had two [08147] tenons [03027], equally distant [07947] one [0259] from [0413] another [0259]: thus did he make [06213] for all the boards [07175] of the tabernacle [04908]. 2 36 23 And he made [06213] boards [07175] for the tabernacle [04908];

as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 39 32 Thus was all the work [05656] of the tabernacle [04908] of the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150] finished [03615]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] according to all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so did [06213] they. 2 39 33 And they brought [0935] the tabernacle [04908] unto Moses [04872], the tent [0168], and all his furniture [03627], his taches [07165], his boards [07175], his bars [01280], and his pillars [05982], and his sockets [0134], 2 39 34 And the covering [04372] of rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and the covering [04372] of badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and the vail [06532] of the covering [04539], 2 39 35 The ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], and the staves [0905] thereof, and the mercy seat [03727], 2 39 36 The table [07979], and all the vessels [03627] thereof, and the shewbread [06440] [03899], 2 39 37 The pure [02889] candlestick [04501], with the lamps [05216] thereof, even with the lamps [05216] to be set in order [04634], and all the vessels [03627] thereof, and the oil [08081] for light [03974], 2 39 38 And the golden [02091] altar [04196], and the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and the sweet [05561] incense [07004], and the hanging [04539] for the tabernacle [0168] door [06607], 2 39 39 The brasen [05178] altar [04196], and his grate [04345] of brass [05178], his staves [0905], and all his vessels [03627], the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], 2 39 40 The hangings [07050] of the court [02691], his pillars [05982], and his sockets [0134], and the hanging [04539] for the court [02691] gate [08179], his cords [04340], and his pins [03489], and all the vessels [03627] of the service [05656] of the tabernacle [04908], for the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], 2 39 41 The cloths [0899] of service [08278] to do service [08334] in the holy [06944] place, and the holy [06944] garments [0899] for Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], and his sons [01121]' garments [0899], to minister in the priest's office [03547]. 2 39 42 According to all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so the children [01121] of Israel [03478] made [06213] all the work [05656]. 2 39 43 And Moses [04872] did look [07200] upon all [03651] the work [04399], and, behold, they had done [06213] it as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680], even so had they done [06213] it: and Moses [04872] blessed [01288] them. 2 40 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 2 40 2 On the first [07223] day [03117] of the first [0259] month [02320] shalt thou set up [06965] the tabernacle [04908] of the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 2 40 3 And thou shalt put [07760] therein [08033] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], and cover [05526] the ark [0727] with the vail [06532]. 2 40 4 And thou shalt bring [0935] in the table [07979], and set in order [06186] the things that are to be set in order [06187] upon it; and thou shalt bring [0935] in the candlestick [04501], and light [05927] the lamps [05216] thereof. 2 40 5 And thou shalt set [05414] the altar [04196] of gold [02091] for the incense [07004] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], and put [07760] the hanging [04539] of the door [06607] to the tabernacle [04908]. 2 40 6 And thou shalt set [05414] the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930] before [06440] the door [06607] of the tabernacle [04908] of the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 2 40 7 And thou shalt set [05414] the laver [03595] between the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150] and the altar [04196], and shalt put [05414] water [04325] therein. 2 40 8 And thou shalt set up [07760] the court [02691] round about [05439], and hang up [05414] the hanging [04539] at the court [02691] gate [08179]. 2 40 9 And thou shalt take [03947] the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and anoint [04886] the tabernacle [04908], and all that is therein, and shalt hallow [06942] it, and all the vessels [03627] thereof: and it shall be holy [06944]. 2 40 10 And thou shalt anoint [04886] the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], and all his vessels [03627], and sanctify [06942] the altar [04196]: and it shall be an altar [04196] most [06944] holy [06944]. 2 40 11 And thou shalt anoint [04886] the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], and sanctify [06942] it. 2 40 12 And thou shalt bring [07126] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and wash [07364] them with water [04325]. 2 40 13 And thou shalt put [03847] upon Aaron [0175] the holy [06944] garments [0899], and anoint [04886] him, and sanctify [06942] him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]. 2 40 14 And thou shalt bring [07126] his sons [01121], and clothe [03847] them with coats [03801]: 2 40 15 And thou shalt anoint [04886] them, as thou didst anoint [04886] their father [01], that they may minister unto me in the priest's office [03547]: for their anointing [04888] shall surely be an everlasting [05769] priesthood [03550] throughout their generations [01755]. 2 40 16 Thus did [06213] Moses [04872]: according to all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he. 2 40 17 And it came to pass in the first [07223] month [02320] in the second [08145] year [08141], on the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that the tabernacle [04908] was reared up [06965]. 2 40 18 And Moses [04872] reared up [06965] the tabernacle [04908], and fastened [05414] his sockets [0134], and set up [07760] the boards [07175] thereof, and put [05414] in the bars [01280] thereof, and reared up [06965] his pillars [05982]. 2 40 19 And he spread abroad [06566] the tent [0168] over the tabernacle [04908], and put [07760] the covering [04372] of the tent [0168] above [04605] upon it; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 20 And he took [03947] and put [05414] the testimony [05715] into the ark [0727], and set [07760] the staves [0905] on the ark [0727], and put [05414] the mercy seat [03727] above [04605] upon the ark [0727]: 2 40 21 And he brought [0935] the ark [0727] into the tabernacle [04908], and set up [07760] the vail [06532] of the covering [04539], and covered [05526] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 22 And he put [05414] the table [07979] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], upon the side [03409] of the tabernacle [04908] northward [06828], without [02351] the vail [06532]. 2 40 23 And he set [06187] the bread [03899] in order [06186] upon it before [06440] the LORD [03068]; as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 24 And he put [07760] the candlestick [04501] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], over against [05227] the table [07979], on the side [03409] of the tabernacle [04908] southward [05045]. 2 40 25 And he lighted [05927] the lamps [05216] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 26 And he put [07760] the golden [02091] altar [04196] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the vail [06532]: 2 40 27 And he burnt [06999] sweet [05561] incense [07004] thereon; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 28 And he set up [07760] the hanging [04539] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [04908]. 2 40 29 And he put [07760] the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930] by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [04908] of the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], and offered [05927] upon it the burnt offering [05930] and the meat offering [04503]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 30 And he set [07760] the laver [03595] between the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150] and the altar [04196], and put [05414] water [04325] there, to wash [07364] withal. 2 40 31 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] washed [07364] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272] thereat: 2 40 32 When they went [0935] into the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], and when they came near [07126] unto the altar [04196], they washed [07364]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 2 40 33 And he reared up [06965] the court [02691] round about [05439] the tabernacle [04908] and the altar [04196], and set up [05414] the hanging [04539] of the court [02691] gate [08179]. So Moses [04872] finished [03615] the work [04399]. 2 40 34 Then a cloud [06051] covered [03680] the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the tabernacle [04908]. 2 40 35 And Moses [04872] was not able [03201] to enter [0935] into the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], because the cloud [06051] abode [07931] thereon, and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the tabernacle [04908]. 2 40 36 And when the cloud [06051] was taken up [05927] from [05921] over the tabernacle [04908], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went onward [05265] in all their journeys [04550]: 2 40 37 But if the cloud [06051] were not taken up [05927], then they journeyed [05265] not till the day [03117] that it was taken up [05927]. 2 40 38 For the cloud [06051] of the LORD [03068] was upon the tabernacle [04908] by day [03119], and fire [0784] was on it by night [03915], in the sight [05869] of all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], throughout all their journeys [04550]. 3 1 1 And the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto Moses [04872], and spake [01696] unto him out of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], saying [0559], 3 1 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, If any man [0120] of you bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], ye shall bring [07126] your offering [07133] of the cattle [0929], even of the herd [01241], and of the flock [06629]. 3 1 3 If his offering [07133] be a burnt sacrifice [05930] of the herd [01241], let him offer [07126] a male [02145] without blemish [08549]: he shall offer [07126] it of his own voluntary will [07522] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 1 4 And he shall put [05564] his hand [03027] upon the head [07218] of the burnt offering [05930]; and it shall be accepted [07521] for him to make atonement [03722] for him. 3 1 5 And he shall kill [07819] the bullock [01121] [01241] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and the priests [03548], Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], shall bring [07126] the blood [01818], and sprinkle [02236] the blood [01818] round about [05439] upon the altar [04196] that is by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 1 6 And he shall flay [06584] the burnt offering [05930], and cut [05408] it into his pieces [05409]. 3 1 7 And the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548] shall put [05414] fire [0784] upon the altar [04196], and lay the wood [06086] in order [06186] upon the fire [0784]: 3 1 8 And the priests [03548], Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], shall lay [06186] the parts [05409], the head [07218], and the fat [06309], in order [06186] upon the wood [06086] that is on the fire [0784] which is upon the altar [04196]: 3 1 9 But his inwards [07130] and his legs [03767] shall he wash [07364] in water [04325]: and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] all on the altar [04196], to be a burnt sacrifice [05930], an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 1 10 And if his offering [07133] be of the flocks [06629], namely, of the sheep [03775], or of the goats [05795], for a burnt sacrifice [05930]; he shall bring [07126] it a male [02145] without blemish [08549]. 3 1 11 And he shall kill [07819] it on the side [03409] of the altar [04196] northward [06828] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and the priests [03548], Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], shall sprinkle [02236] his blood [01818] round about [05439] upon the altar [04196]. 3 1 12 And he shall cut [05408] it into his pieces [05409], with his head [07218] and his fat [06309]: and the priest [03548] shall lay them in order [06186] on the wood [06086] that is on the fire [0784] which is upon the altar [04196]: 3 1 13 But he shall wash [07364] the inwards [07130] and the legs [03767] with water [04325]: and the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] it all, and burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196]: it is a burnt sacrifice [05930], an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 1 14 And if the burnt sacrifice [05930] for his offering [07133] to the LORD [03068] be of fowls [05775], then he shall bring [07126] his offering [07133] of turtledoves [08449], or of young [01121] pigeons [03123]. 3 1 15 And the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] it unto the altar [04196], and wring off [04454] his head [07218], and burn [06999] it on the altar [04196]; and the blood [01818] thereof shall be wrung out [04680] at the side [07023] of the altar [04196]: 3 1 16 And he shall pluck away [05493] his crop [04760] with his feathers [05133], and cast [07993] it beside [0681] the altar [04196] on the east part [06924], by the place [04725] of the ashes [01880]: 3 1 17 And he shall cleave [08156] it with the wings [03671] thereof, but shall not divide it asunder [0914]: and the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196], upon the wood [06086] that is upon the fire [0784]: it is a burnt sacrifice [05930], an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 2 1 And when any [05315] will offer [07126] a meat [04503] offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], his offering [07133] shall be of fine flour [05560]; and he shall pour [03332] oil [08081] upon it, and put [05414] frankincense [03828] thereon: 3 2 2 And he shall bring [0935] it to Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] the priests [03548]: and he shall take [07061] thereout [08033] his handful [07062] [04393] of the flour [05560] thereof, and of the oil [08081] thereof, with all the frankincense [03828] thereof;

if he do not utter [05046] it, then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771]. 3 5 2 Or if a soul [05315] touch [05060] any unclean [02931] thing [01697], whether it be a carcase [05038] of an unclean [02931] beast [02416], or a carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] cattle [0929], or the carcase [05038] of unclean [02931] creeping things [08318], and if it be hidden [05956] from him; he also shall be unclean [02931], and guilty [0816]. 3 5 3 Or if he touch [05060] the uncleanness [02932] of man [0120], whatsoever uncleanness [02932] it be that a man shall be defiled [02930] withal, and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816]. 3 5 4 Or if a soul [05315] swear [07650], pronouncing [0981] with his lips [08193] to do evil [07489], or to do good [03190], whatsoever it be that a man [0120] shall pronounce [0981] with an oath [07621], and it be hid [05956] from him; when he knoweth [03045] of it, then he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these. 3 5 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty [0816] in one [0259] of these things, that he shall confess [03034] that he hath sinned [02398] in that thing: 3 5 6 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068] for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], a female [05347] from the flock [06629], a lamb [03776] or a kid [08166] of the goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him concerning his sin [02403]. 3 5 7 And if he [03027] be not able [01767] to bring [05060] a lamb [07716], then he shall bring [0935] for [0854] his trespass [0817], which he hath committed [02398], two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], unto the LORD [03068]; one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930]. 3 5 8 And he shall bring [0935] them unto the priest [03548], who shall offer [07126] that which is for the sin offering [02403] first [07223], and wring off [04454] his head [07218] from [04136] his neck [06203], but shall not divide it asunder [0914]: 3 5 9 And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] upon the side [07023] of the altar [04196]; and the rest [07604] of the blood [01818] shall be wrung out [04680] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196]: it is a sin offering [02403]. 3 5 10 And he shall offer [06213] the second [08145] for a burnt offering [05930], according to the manner [04941]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him for his sin [02403] which he hath sinned [02398], and it shall be forgiven [05545] him. 3 5 11 But if he [03027] be not able to bring [05381] two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], then he that sinned [02398] shall bring [0935] for his offering [07133] the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a sin offering [02403]; he shall put [07760] no oil [08081] upon it, neither shall he put [05414] any frankincense [03828] thereon: for it is a sin offering [02403]. 3 5 12 Then shall he bring [0935] it to the priest [03548], and the priest [03548] shall take [07061] his handful [04393] [07062] of it, even a memorial [0234] thereof, and burn [06999] it on the altar [04196], according to the offerings made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a sin offering [02403]. 3 5 13 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him as touching his sin [02403] that he hath sinned [02398] in one [0259] of these, and it shall be forgiven [05545] him: and the remnant shall be the priest's [03548], as a meat offering [04503]. 3 5 14 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 5 15 If a soul [05315] commit [04603] a trespass [04604], and sin [02398] through ignorance [07684], in the holy things [06944] of the LORD [03068]; then he shall bring [0935] for his trespass [0817] unto the LORD [03068] a ram [0352] without blemish [08549] out of the flocks [06629], with thy estimation [06187] by shekels [08255] of silver [03701], after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944], for a trespass offering [0817]: 3 5 16 And he shall make amends [07999] for the harm [02398] that he hath done in the holy thing [06944], and shall add [03254] the fifth part [02549] thereto, and give [05414] it unto the priest [03548]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him with the ram [0352] of the trespass offering [0817], and it shall be forgiven [05545] him. 3 5 17 And if a soul [05315] sin [02398], and commit [06213] any [0259] of these things which are forbidden to be done [06213] by the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068]; though he wist [03045] it not, yet is he guilty [0816], and shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771]. 3 5 18 And he shall bring [0935] a ram [0352] without blemish [08549] out of the flock [06629], with thy estimation [06187], for a trespass offering [0817], unto the priest [03548]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him concerning his ignorance [07684] wherein he erred [07683] and wist [03045] it not, and it shall be forgiven [05545] him. 3 5 19 It is a trespass offering [0817]: he hath certainly [0816] trespassed [0816] against the LORD [03068]. 3 6 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 6 2 If a soul [05315] sin [02398], and commit [04603] a trespass [04604] against the LORD [03068], and lie [03584] unto his neighbour [05997] in that which was delivered [06487] him to keep, or in fellowship [08667] [03027], or in a thing taken away by violence [01498], or hath deceived [06231] his neighbour [05997]; 3 6 3 Or have found [04672] that which was lost [09], and lieth [03584] concerning it, and sweareth [07650] falsely [08267]; in any [0259] of all these that a man [0120] doeth [06213], sinning [02398] therein [02007]: 3 6 4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned [02398], and is guilty [0816], that he shall restore [07725] that [01500] which he took violently away [01497], or the thing [06233] which he hath deceitfully gotten [06231], or that which was delivered [06487] [0853] him to keep [06485], or the lost thing [09] which he found [04672], 3 6 5 Or all that about which he hath sworn [07650] falsely [08267]; he shall even restore [07999] it in the principal [07218], and shall add [03254] the fifth part [02549] more [03254] thereto, and give [05414] it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day [03117] of his trespass offering [0819]. 3 6 6 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068], a ram [0352] without blemish [08549] out of the flock [06629], with thy estimation [06187], for a trespass offering [0817], unto the priest [03548]: 3 6 7 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and it shall be forgiven [05545] him for any thing [0259] of all that he hath done [06213] in trespassing [0819] therein. 3 6 8 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 6 9 Command [06680] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], saying [0559], This is the law [08451] of the burnt offering [05930]: It is the burnt offering [05930], because of the burning [04169] upon the altar [04196] all night [03915] unto the morning [01242], and the fire [0784] of the altar [04196] shall be burning [03344] in it. 3 6 10 And the priest [03548] shall put [03847] on his linen [0906] garment [04055], and his linen [0906] breeches [04370] shall he put [03847] upon his flesh [01320], and take up [07311] the ashes [01880] which the fire [0784] hath consumed [0398] with the burnt offering [05930] on the altar [04196], and he shall put [07760] them beside [0681] the altar [04196]. 3 6 11 And he shall put off [06584] his garments [0899], and put on [03847] other [0312] garments [0899], and carry forth [03318] the ashes [01880] without [02351] the camp [04264] unto a clean [02889] place [04725]. 3 6 12 And the fire [0784] upon the altar [04196] shall be burning [03344] in it; it shall not be put out [03518]: and the priest [03548] shall burn [01197] wood [06086] on it every morning [01242], and lay the burnt offering [05930] in order [06186] upon it; and he shall burn [06999] thereon the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002]. 3 6 13 The fire [0784] shall ever [08548] be burning [03344] upon the altar [04196]; it shall never go out [03518]. 3 6 14 And this is the law [08451] of the meat offering [04503]: the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall offer [07126] it before [06440] the LORD [03068], before [06440] the altar [04196]. 3 6 15 And he shall take [07311] of it his handful [07062], of the flour [05560] of the meat offering [04503], and of the oil [08081] thereof, and all the frankincense [03828] which is upon the meat offering [04503], and shall burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], even the memorial [0234] of it, unto the LORD [03068]. 3 6 16 And the remainder [03498] thereof shall Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] eat [0398]: with unleavened bread [04682] shall it be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]; in the court [02691] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] they shall eat [0398] it. 3 6 17 It shall not be baken [0644] with leaven [02557]. I have given [05414] it unto them for their portion [02506] of my offerings made by fire [0801]; it is most [06944] holy [06944], as is the sin offering [02403], and as the trespass offering [0817]. 3 6 18 All the males [02145] among the children [01121] of Aaron [0175] shall eat [0398] of it. It shall be a statute [02706] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755] concerning the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801]: every one that toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942]. 3 6 19 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 6 20 This is the offering [07133] of Aaron [0175] and of his sons [01121], which they shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] in the day [03117] when he is anointed [04886]; the tenth part [06224] of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503] perpetual [08548], half [04276] of it in the morning [01242], and half [04276] thereof at night [06153]. 3 6 21 In a pan [04227] it shall be made [06213] with oil [08081]; and when it is baken [07246], thou shalt bring [0935] it in: and the baken [08601] pieces [06595] of the meat offering [04503] shalt thou offer [07126] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 6 22 And the priest [03548] of his sons [01121] that is anointed [04899] in his stead shall offer [06213] it: it is a statute [02706] for ever [05769] unto the LORD [03068]; it shall be wholly [03632] burnt [06999]. 3 6 23 For every meat offering [04503] for the priest [03548] shall be wholly burnt [03632]: it shall not be eaten [0398]. 3 6 24 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 6 25 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121], saying [0559], This is the law [08451] of the sin offering [02403]: In the place [04725] where the burnt offering [05930] is killed [07819] shall the sin offering [02403] be killed [07819] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: it is most [06944] holy [06944]. 3 6 26 The priest [03548] that offereth it for sin [02398] shall eat [0398] it: in the holy [06918] place [04725] shall it be eaten [0398], in the court [02691] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 6 27 Whatsoever shall touch [05060] the flesh [01320] thereof shall be holy [06942]: and when there is sprinkled [05137] of the blood [01818] thereof upon any garment [0899], thou shalt wash [03526] that whereon it was sprinkled [05137] in the holy [06918] place [04725]. 3 6 28 But the earthen [02789] vessel [03627] wherein it is sodden [01310] shall be broken [07665]: and if it be sodden [01310] in a brasen [05178] pot [03627], it shall be both scoured [04838], and rinsed [07857] in water [04325]. 3 6 29 All the males [02145] among the priests [03548] shall eat [0398] thereof: it is most [06944] holy [06944]. 3 6 30 And no sin offering [02403], whereof any of the blood [01818] is brought [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] to reconcile [03722] withal in the holy [06944] place, shall be eaten [0398]: it shall be burnt [08313] in the fire [0784]. 3 7 1 Likewise this is the law [08451] of the trespass offering [0817]: it is most [06944] holy [06944]. 3 7 2 In the place [04725] where they kill [07819] the burnt offering [05930] shall they kill [07819] the trespass offering [0817]: and the blood [01818] thereof shall he sprinkle [02236] round about [05439] upon the altar [04196]. 3 7 3 And he shall offer [07126] of it all the fat [02459] thereof; the rump [0451], and the fat [02459] that covereth [03680] the inwards [07130], 3 7 4 And the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and the fat [02459] that is on them, which is by the flanks [03689], and the caul [03508] that is above the liver [03516], with the kidneys [03629], it shall he take away [05493]: 3 7 5 And the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] them upon the altar [04196] for an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a trespass offering [0817]. 3 7 6 Every male [02145] among the priests [03548] shall eat [0398] thereof: it shall be eaten [0398] in the holy [06918] place [04725]: it is most [06944] holy [06944]. 3 7 7 As the sin offering [02403] is, so is the trespass offering [0817]: there is one [0259] law [08451] for them: the priest [03548] that maketh atonement [03722] therewith shall have it. 3 7 8 And the priest [03548] that offereth [07126] any man's [0376] burnt offering [05930], even the priest [03548] shall have to himself the skin [05785] of the burnt offering [05930] which he hath offered [07126]. 3 7 9 And all the meat offering [04503] that is baken [0644] in the oven [08574], and all that is dressed [06213] in the fryingpan [04802], and in the pan [04227], shall be the priest's [03548] that offereth [07126] it. 3 7 10 And every meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and dry [02720], shall all the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] have, one [0376] as much as another [0251]. 3 7 11 And this is the law [08451] of the sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002], which he shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 7 12 If he offer [07126] it for a thanksgiving [08426], then he shall offer [07126] with the sacrifice [02077] of thanksgiving [08426] unleavened [04682] cakes [02471] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and unleavened [04682] wafers [07550] anointed [04886] with oil [08081], and cakes [02471] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], of fine flour [05560], fried [07246]. 3 7 13 Besides the cakes [02471], he shall offer [07126] for his offering [07133] leavened [02557] bread [03899] with the sacrifice [02077] of thanksgiving [08426] of his peace offerings [08002]. 3 7 14 And of it he shall offer [07126] one [0259] out of the whole oblation [07133] for an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068], and it shall be the priest's [03548] that sprinkleth [02236] the blood [01818] of the peace offerings [08002]. 3 7 15 And the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] of his peace offerings [08002] for thanksgiving [08426] shall be eaten [0398] the same day [03117] that it is offered [07133]; he shall not leave [03240] any of it until the morning [01242]. 3 7 16 But if the sacrifice [02077] of his offering [07133] be a vow [05088], or a voluntary offering [05071], it shall be eaten [0398] the same day [03117] that he offereth [07126] his sacrifice [02077]: and on the morrow [04283] also the remainder [03498] of it shall be eaten [0398]: 3 7 17 But the remainder [03498] of the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] on the third [07992] day [03117] shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784]. 3 7 18 And if any of the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] of his peace offerings [08002] be eaten [0398] at all [0398] on the third [07992] day [03117], it shall not be accepted [07521], neither shall it be imputed [02803] unto him that offereth [07126] it: it shall be an abomination [06292], and the soul [05315] that eateth [0398] of it shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771]. 3 7 19 And the flesh [01320] that toucheth [05060] any unclean [02931] thing shall not be eaten [0398]; it shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784]: and as for the flesh [01320], all that be clean [02889] shall eat [0398] thereof. 3 7 20 But the soul [05315] that eateth [0398] of the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002], that pertain unto the LORD [03068], having his uncleanness [02932] upon him, even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]. 3 7 21 Moreover the soul [05315] that shall touch [05060] any unclean [02932] thing, as the uncleanness [02932] of man [0120], or any unclean [02931] beast [0929], or any abominable [08263] unclean [02931] thing, and eat [0398] of the flesh [01320] of the sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002], which pertain unto the LORD [03068], even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]. 3 7 22 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 7 23 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Ye shall eat [0398] no manner of fat [02459], of ox [07794], or of sheep [03775], or of goat [05795]. 3 7 24 And the fat [02459] of the beast that dieth of itself [05038], and the fat [02459] of that which is torn with beasts [02966], may be used [06213] in any other use [04399]: but ye shall in no wise [0398] eat [0398] of it. 3 7 25 For whosoever eateth [0398] the fat [02459] of the beast [0929], of which men offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068], even the soul [05315] that eateth [0398] it shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]. 3 7 26 Moreover ye shall eat [0398] no manner of blood [01818], whether it be of fowl [05775] or of beast [0929], in any of your dwellings [04186]. 3 7 27 Whatsoever soul [05315] it be that eateth [0398] any manner [03605] of blood [01818], even that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]. 3 7 28 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 7 29 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], He that offereth [07126] the sacrifice [02077] of his peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068] shall bring [0935] his oblation [07133] unto the LORD [03068] of the sacrifice [02077] of his peace offerings [08002]. 3 7 30 His own hands [03027] shall bring [0935] the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], the fat [02459] with the breast [02373], it shall he bring [0935], that the breast [02373] may be waved [05130] for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 7 31 And the priest [03548] shall burn [06999] the fat [02459] upon the altar [04196]: but the breast [02373] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]'. 3 7 32 And the right [03225] shoulder [07785] shall ye give [05414] unto the priest [03548] for an heave offering [08641] of the sacrifices [02077] of your peace offerings [08002]. 3 7 33 He among the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], that offereth [07126] the blood [01818] of the peace offerings [08002], and the fat [02459], shall have the right [03225] shoulder [07785] for his part [04490]. 3 7 34 For the wave [08573] breast [02373] and the heave [08641] shoulder [07785] have I taken [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from off the sacrifices [02077] of their peace offerings [08002], and have given [05414] them unto Aaron [0175] the priest [03548] and unto his sons [01121] by a statute [02706] for ever [05769] from among the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 3 7 35 This is the portion of the anointing [04888] of Aaron [0175], and of the anointing [04888] of his sons [01121], out of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], in the day [03117] when he presented [07126] them to minister unto the LORD [03068] in the priest's office [03547]; 3 7 36 Which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to be given [05414] them of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], in the day [03117] that he anointed [04886] them, by a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout their generations [01755]. 3 7 37 This is the law [08451] of the burnt offering [05930], of the meat offering [04503], and of the sin offering [02403], and of the trespass offering [0817], and of the consecrations [04394], and of the sacrifice [02077] of the peace offerings [08002]; 3 7 38 Which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514], in the day [03117] that he commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to offer [07126] their oblations [07133] unto the LORD [03068], in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]. 3 8 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 8 2 Take [03947] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] with him, and the garments [0899], and the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and a bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403], and two [08147] rams [0352], and a basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682]; 3 8 3 And gather [06950] thou all the congregation [05712] together [06950] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 8 4 And Moses [04872] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him; and the assembly [05712] was gathered together [06950] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 8 5 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the congregation [05712], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to be done [06213]. 3 8 6 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and washed [07364] them with water [04325]. 3 8 7 And he put [05414] upon him the coat [03801], and girded [02296] him with the girdle [073], and clothed [03847] him with the robe [04598], and put [05414] the ephod [0646] upon him, and he girded [02296] him with the curious girdle [02805] of the ephod [0646], and bound [0640] it unto him therewith. 3 8 8 And he put [07760] the breastplate [02833] upon him: also he put [05414] in the breastplate [02833] the Urim [0224] and the Thummim [08550]. 3 8 9 And he put [07760] the mitre [04701] upon his head [07218]; also upon the mitre [04701], even upon his forefront [06440] [04136], did he put [07760] the golden [02091] plate [06731], the holy [06944] crown [05145]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 8 10 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and anointed [04886] the tabernacle [04908] and all that was therein, and sanctified [06942] them. 3 8 11 And he sprinkled [05137] thereof upon the altar [04196] seven [07651] times [06471], and anointed [04886] the altar [04196] and all his vessels [03627], both the laver [03595] and his foot [03653], to sanctify [06942] them. 3 8 12 And he poured [03332] of the anointing [04888] oil [08081] upon Aaron's [0175] head [07218], and anointed [04886] him, to sanctify [06942] him. 3 8 13 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], and put [03847] coats [03801] upon them, and girded [02296] them with girdles [073], and put [02280] bonnets [04021] upon them; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 8 14 And he brought [05066] the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403]: and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] laid [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403]. 3 8 15 And he slew [07819] it; and Moses [04872] took [03947] the blood [01818], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] round about [05439] with his finger [0676], and purified [02398] the altar [04196], and poured [03332] the blood [01818] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196], and sanctified [06942] it, to make reconciliation [03722] upon it. 3 8 16 And he took [03947] all the fat [02459] that was upon the inwards [07130], and the caul [03508] above the liver [03516], and the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and their fat [02459], and Moses [04872] burned [06999] it upon the altar [04196]. 3 8 17 But the bullock [06499], and his hide [05785], his flesh [01320], and his dung [06569], he burnt [08313] with fire [0784] without [02351] the camp [04264]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 8 18 And he brought [07126] the ram [0352] for the burnt offering [05930]: and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] laid [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352]. 3 8 19 And he killed [07819] it; and Moses [04872] sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439]. 3 8 20 And he cut [05408] the ram [0352] into pieces [05409]; and Moses [04872] burnt [06999] the head [07218], and the pieces [05409], and the fat [06309]. 3 8 21 And he washed [07364] the inwards [07130] and the legs [03767] in water [04325]; and Moses [04872] burnt [06999] the whole ram [0352] upon the altar [04196]: it was a burnt sacrifice [05930] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], and an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 8 22 And he brought [07126] the other [08145] ram [0352], the ram [0352] of consecration [04394]: and Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] laid [05564] their hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the ram [0352]. 3 8 23 And he slew [07819] it; and Moses [04872] took [03947] of the blood [01818] of it, and put [05414] it upon the tip [08571] of Aaron's [0175] right [03233] ear [0241], and upon the thumb [0931] of his right [03233] hand [03027], and upon the great toe [0931] of his right [03233] foot [07272]. 3 8 24 And he brought [07126] Aaron's [0175] sons [01121], and Moses [04872] put [05414] of the blood [01818] upon the tip [08571] of their right [03233] ear [0241], and upon the thumbs [0931] of their right [03233] hands [03027], and upon the great toes [0931] of their right [03233] feet [07272]: and Moses [04872] sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439]. 3 8 25 And he took [03947] the fat [02459], and the rump [0451], and all the fat [02459] that was upon the inwards [07130], and the caul [03508] above the liver [03516], and the two [08147] kidneys [03629], and their fat [02459], and the right [03225] shoulder [07785]: 3 8 26 And out of the basket [05536] of unleavened [04682] bread [03899], that was before [06440] the LORD [03068], he took [03947] one [0259] unleavened [04682] cake [02471], and a cake [02471] of oiled [08081] bread, and one [0259] wafer [07550], and put [07760] them on the fat [02459], and upon the right [03225] shoulder [07785]: 3 8 27 And he put [05414] all upon Aaron's [0175] hands [03709], and upon his sons [01121]' hands [03709], and waved [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 8 28 And Moses [04872] took [03947] them from off their hands [03709], and burnt [06999] them on the altar [04196] upon the burnt offering [05930]: they were consecrations [04394] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381]: it is an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 8 29 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the breast [02373], and waved [05130] it for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for of the ram [0352] of consecration [04394] it was Moses [04872]' part [04490]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 8 30 And Moses [04872] took [03947] of the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and of the blood [01818] which was upon the altar [04196], and sprinkled [05137] it upon Aaron [0175], and upon his garments [0899], and upon his sons [01121], and upon his sons [01121]' garments [0899] with him; and sanctified [06942] Aaron [0175], and his garments [0899], and his sons [01121], and his sons [01121]' garments [0899] with him. 3 8 31 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121], Boil [01310] the flesh [01320] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and there eat [0398] it with the bread [03899] that is in the basket [05536] of consecrations [04394], as I commanded [06680], saying [0559], Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall eat [0398] it. 3 8 32 And that which remaineth [03498] of the flesh [01320] and of the bread [03899] shall ye burn [08313] with fire [0784]. 3 8 33 And ye shall not go out [03318] of the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] in seven [07651] days [03117], until the days [03117] of your consecration [04394] be at an end [04390]: for seven [07651] days [03117] shall he consecrate [04390] [03027] you. 3 8 34 As he hath done [06213] this day [03117], so the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680] to do [06213], to make an atonement [03722] for you. 3 8 35 Therefore shall ye abide [03427] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] day [03119] and night [03915] seven [07651] days [03117], and keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068], that ye die [04191] not: for so I am commanded [06680]. 3 8 36 So Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] did [06213] all things [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 3 9 1 And it came to pass on the eighth [08066] day [03117], that Moses [04872] called [07121] Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121], and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; 3 9 2 And he said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] thee a young [01241] [01121] calf [05695] for a sin offering [02403], and a ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930], without blemish [08549], and offer [07126] them before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 9 3 And unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] thou shalt speak [01696], saying [0559], Take [03947] ye a kid [08163] of the goats [05795] for a sin offering [02403]; and a calf [05695] and a lamb [03532], both of the first [01121] year [08141], without blemish [08549], for a burnt offering [05930]; 3 9 4 Also a bullock [07794] and a ram [0352] for peace offerings [08002], to sacrifice [02076] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and a meat offering [04503] mingled [01101] with oil [08081]: for to day [03117] the LORD [03068] will appear [07200] unto you. 3 9 5 And they brought [03947] that which Moses [04872] commanded [06680] before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and all the congregation [05712] drew near [07126] and stood [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 9 6 And Moses [04872] said [0559], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] that ye should do [06213]: and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] shall appear [07200] unto you. 3 9 7 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Go [07126] unto the altar [04196], and offer [06213] thy sin offering [02403], and thy burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for thyself, and for the people [05971]: and offer [06213] the offering [07133] of the people [05971], and make an atonement [03722] for them; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]. 3 9 8 Aaron [0175] therefore went [07126] unto the altar [04196], and slew [07819] the calf [05695] of the sin offering [02403], which was for himself. 3 9 9 And the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] brought [07126] the blood [01818] unto him: and he dipped [02881] his finger [0676] in the blood [01818], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196], and poured [03332] out the blood [01818] at the bottom [03247] of the altar [04196]: 3 9 10 But the fat [02459], and the kidneys [03629], and the caul [03508] above [04480] the liver [03516] of the sin offering [02403], he burnt [06999] upon the altar [04196]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 9 11 And the flesh [01320] and the hide [05785] he burnt [08313] with fire [0784] without [02351] the camp [04264]. 3 9 12 And he slew [07819] the burnt offering [05930]; and Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] presented [04672] unto him the blood [01818], which he sprinkled [02236] round about [05439] upon the altar [04196]. 3 9 13 And they presented [04672] the burnt offering [05930] unto him, with the pieces [05409] thereof, and the head [07218]: and he burnt [06999] them upon the altar [04196]. 3 9 14 And he did wash [07364] the inwards [07130] and the legs [03767], and burnt [06999] them upon the burnt offering [05930] on the altar [04196]. 3 9 15 And he brought [07126] the people's [05971] offering [07133], and took [03947] the goat [08163], which was the sin offering [02403] for the people [05971], and slew [07819] it, and offered it for sin [02398], as the first [07223]. 3 9 16 And he brought [07126] the burnt offering [05930], and offered [06213] it according to the manner [04941]. 3 9 17 And he brought [07126] the meat offering [04503], and took [04390] an handful [03709] thereof, and burnt [06999] it upon the altar [04196], beside [0905] the burnt sacrifice [05930] of the morning [01242]. 3 9 18 He slew [07819] also the bullock [07794] and the ram [0352] for a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002], which was for the people [05971]: and Aaron's [0175] sons [01121] presented [04672] unto him the blood [01818], which he sprinkled [02236] upon the altar [04196] round about [05439], 3 9 19 And the fat [02459] of the bullock [07794] and of the ram [0352], the rump [0451], and that which covereth [04374] the inwards, and the kidneys [03629], and the caul [03508] above the liver [03516]: 3 9 20 And they put [07760] the fat [02459] upon the breasts [02373], and he burnt [06999] the fat [02459] upon the altar [04196]: 3 9 21 And the breasts [02373] and the right [03225] shoulder [07785] Aaron [0175] waved [05130] for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; as Moses [04872] commanded [06680]. 3 9 22 And Aaron [0175] lifted up [05375] his hand [03027] toward the people [05971], and blessed [01288] them, and came down [03381] from offering [06213] of the sin offering [02403], and the burnt offering [05930], and peace offerings [08002]. 3 9 23 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and came out [03318], and blessed [01288] the people [05971]: and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto all the people [05971]. 3 9 24 And there came [03318] a fire [0784] out from before [06440] the LORD [03068], and consumed [0398] upon the altar [04196] the burnt offering [05930] and the fat [02459]: which when all the people [05971] saw [07200], they shouted [07442], and fell [05307] on their faces [06440]. 3 10 1 And Nadab [05070] and Abihu [030], the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], took [03947] either [0376] of them his censer [04289], and put [05414] fire [0784] therein [02004], and put [07760] incense [07004] thereon, and offered [07126] strange [02114] fire [0784] before [06440] the LORD [03068], which he commanded [06680] them not. 3 10 2 And there went out [03318] fire [0784] from the LORD [03068], and devoured [0398] them, and they died [04191] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 10 3 Then Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], This is it that the LORD [03068] spake [01696], saying [0559], I will be sanctified [06942] in them that come nigh [07138] me, and before [06440] all the people [05971] I will be glorified [03513]. And Aaron [0175] held his peace [01826]. 3 10 4 And Moses [04872] called [07121] Mishael [04332] and Elzaphan [0469], the sons [01121] of Uzziel [05816] the uncle [01730] of Aaron [0175], and said [0559] unto them, Come near [07126], carry [05375] your brethren [0251] from before [06440] the sanctuary [06944] out [02351] of the camp [04264]. 3 10 5 So they went near [07126], and carried [05375] them in their coats [03801] out [02351] of the camp [04264]; as Moses [04872] had said [01696]. 3 10 6 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], and unto Eleazar [0499] and unto Ithamar [0385], his sons [01121], Uncover [06544] not your heads [07218], neither rend [06533] your clothes [0899]; lest ye die [04191], and lest wrath [07107] come upon all the people [05712]: but let your brethren [0251], the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478], bewail [01058] the burning [08316] which the LORD [03068] hath kindled [08313]. 3 10 7 And ye shall not go out [03318] from the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest ye die [04191]: for the anointing [04888] oil [08081] of the LORD [03068] is upon you. And they did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Moses [04872]. 3 10 8 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 3 10 9 Do not drink [08354] wine [03196] nor strong drink [07941], thou, nor thy sons [01121] with thee, when ye go [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest ye die [04191]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755]: 3 10 10 And that ye may put difference [0914] between holy [06944] and unholy [02455], and between unclean [02931] and clean [02889]; 3 10 11 And that ye may teach [03384] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] all the statutes [02706] which the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] unto them by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 3 10 12 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto Aaron [0175], and unto Eleazar [0499] and unto Ithamar [0385], his sons [01121] that were left [03498], Take [03947] the meat offering [04503] that remaineth [03498] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], and eat [0398] it without leaven [04682] beside [0681] the altar [04196]: for it is most [06944] holy [06944]: 3 10 13 And ye shall eat [0398] it in the holy [06918] place [04725], because it is thy due [02706], and thy sons [01121]' due [02706], of the sacrifices [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801]: for so I am commanded [06680]. 3 10 14 And the wave [08573] breast [02373] and heave [08641] shoulder [07785] shall ye eat [0398] in a clean [02889] place [04725]; thou, and thy sons [01121], and thy daughters [01323] with thee: for they be thy due [02706], and thy sons [01121]' due [02706], which are given [05414] out of the sacrifices [02077] of peace offerings [08002] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 3 10 15 The heave [08641] shoulder [07785] and the wave [08573] breast [02373] shall they bring [0935] with the offerings made by fire [0801] of the fat [02459], to wave [05130] it for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and it shall be thine, and thy sons [01121]' with thee, by a statute [02706] for ever [05769]; as the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680]. 3 10 16 And Moses [04872] diligently [01875] sought [01875] the goat [08163] of the sin offering [02403], and, behold, it was burnt [08313]: and he was angry [07107] with Eleazar [0499] and Ithamar [0385], the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] which were left [03498] alive, saying [0559], 3 10 17 Wherefore have ye not eaten [0398] the sin offering [02403] in the holy [06944] place [04725], seeing it is most [06944] holy [06944], and God hath given [05414] it you to bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the congregation [05712], to make atonement [03722] for them before [06440] the LORD [03068]? 3 10 18 Behold [02005], the blood [01818] of it was not brought [0935] in within [06441] the holy [06944] place: ye should indeed [0398] have eaten [0398] it in the holy [06944] place, as I commanded [06680]. 3 10 19 And Aaron [0175] said [01696] unto Moses [04872], Behold, this day [03117] have they offered [07126] their sin offering [02403] and their burnt offering [05930] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and such things have befallen [07122] me: and if I had eaten [0398] the sin offering [02403] to day [03117], should it have been accepted [03190] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]? 3 10 20 And when Moses [04872] heard [08085] that, he was content [03190] [05869]. 3 11 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and to Aaron [0175], saying [0559] unto them, 3 11 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], These [02063] are the beasts [02416] which ye shall eat [0398] among all the beasts [0929] that are on the earth [0776]. 3 11 3 Whatsoever parteth [06536] the hoof [06541], and is clovenfooted [08156] [08157], and cheweth [05927] the cud [01625], among the beasts [0929], that shall ye eat [0398]. 3 11 4 Nevertheless [0389] these shall ye not eat [0398] of them that chew [05927] the cud [01625], or of them that divide [06536] the hoof [06541]: as the camel [01581], because he cheweth [05927] the cud [01625], but divideth [06536] not the hoof [06541]; he is unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 5 And the coney [08227], because he cheweth [05927] the cud [01625], but divideth [06536] not the hoof [06541]; he is unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 6 And the hare [0768], because he cheweth [05927] the cud [01625], but divideth [06536] not the hoof [06541]; he is unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 7 And the swine [02386], though he divide [06536] the hoof [06541], and be clovenfooted [08156] [08157], yet he cheweth [01641] not the cud [01625]; he is unclean [02931] to you. 3 11 8 Of their flesh [01320] shall ye not eat [0398], and their carcase [05038] shall ye not touch [05060]; they are unclean [02931] to you. 3 11 9 These shall ye eat [0398] of all that are in the waters [04325]: whatsoever hath fins [05579] and scales [07193] in the waters [04325], in the seas [03220], and in the rivers [05158], them shall ye eat [0398]. 3 11 10 And all that have not fins [05579] and scales [07193] in the seas [03220], and in the rivers [05158], of all that move [08318] in the waters [04325], and of any living [02416] thing [05315] which is in the waters [04325], they shall be an abomination [08263] unto you: 3 11 11 They shall be even an abomination [08263] unto you; ye shall not eat [0398] of their flesh [01320], but ye shall have their carcases [05038] in abomination [08262]. 3 11 12 Whatsoever hath no fins [05579] nor scales [07193] in the waters [04325], that shall be an abomination [08263] unto you. 3 11 13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination [08262] among [04480] the fowls [05775]; they shall not be eaten [0398], they are an abomination [08263]: the eagle [05404], and the ossifrage [06538], and the ospray [05822], 3 11 14 And the vulture [01676], and the kite [0344] after his kind [04327]; 3 11 15 Every raven [06158] after his kind [04327]; 3 11 16 And the owl [01323] [03284], and the night hawk [08464], and the cuckow [07828], and the hawk [05322] after his kind [04327], 3 11 17 And the little owl [03563], and the cormorant [07994], and the great owl [03244], 3 11 18 And the swan [08580], and the pelican [06893], and the gier eagle [07360], 3 11 19 And the stork [02624], the heron [0601] after her kind [04327], and the lapwing [01744], and the bat [05847]. 3 11 20 All fowls [05775] that creep [08318], going [01980] upon all four [0702], shall be an abomination [08263] unto you. 3 11 21 Yet these may ye eat [0398] of every flying [05775] creeping [08318] thing that goeth [01980] upon all four [0702], which have legs [03767] above [04605] their feet [07272], to leap [05425] withal [02004] upon the earth [0776]; 3 11 22 Even these of them ye may eat [0398]; the locust [0697] after his kind [04327], and the bald locust [05556] after his kind [04327], and the beetle [02728] after his kind [04327], and the grasshopper [02284] after his kind [04327]. 3 11 23 But all other flying [05775] creeping things [08318], which have four [0702] feet [07272], shall be an abomination [08263] unto you. 3 11 24 And for these ye shall be unclean [02930]: whosoever toucheth [05060] the carcase [05038] of them shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 25 And whosoever beareth [05375] ought of the carcase [05038] of them shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 26 The carcases of every beast [0929] which divideth [06536] the hoof [06541], and is not clovenfooted [08157] [08156], nor cheweth [05927] the cud [01625], are unclean [02931] unto you: every one that toucheth [05060] them shall be unclean [02930]. 3 11 27 And whatsoever [03605] [01992] goeth [01980] upon his paws [03709], among all manner of beasts [02416] that go [01980] on all four [0702], those are unclean [02931] unto you: whoso toucheth [05060] their carcase [05038] shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 28 And he that beareth [05375] the carcase [05038] of them shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]: they are unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 29 These also shall be unclean [02931] unto you among the creeping things [08318] that creep [08317] upon the earth [0776]; the weasel [02467], and the mouse [05909], and the tortoise [06632] after his kind [04327], 3 11 30 And the ferret [0604], and the chameleon [03581], and the lizard [03911], and the snail [02546], and the mole [08580]. 3 11 31 These are unclean [02931] to you among all that creep [08318]: whosoever doth touch [05060] them, when they be dead [04194], shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead [04194], doth fall [05307], it shall be unclean [02930]; whether it be any vessel [03627] of wood [06086], or raiment [0899], or skin [05785], or sack [08242], whatsoever vessel [03627] it be, wherein any work [04399] is done [06213], it must be put [0935] into water [04325], and it shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]; so it shall be cleansed [02891]. 3 11 33 And every earthen [02789] vessel [03627], whereinto any of them falleth [05307] [08432], whatsoever is in it shall be unclean [02930]; and ye shall break [07665] it. 3 11 34 Of all meat [0400] which may be eaten [0398], that on which such water [04325] cometh [0935] shall be unclean [02930]: and all drink [04945] that may be drunk [08354] in every such vessel [03627] shall be unclean [02930]. 3 11 35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase [05038] falleth [05307] shall be unclean [02930]; whether it be oven [08574], or ranges [03600] for pots, they shall be broken down [05422]: for they are unclean [02931], and shall be unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 36 Nevertheless a fountain [04599] or pit [0953], wherein there is plenty [04723] of water [04325], shall be clean [02889]: but that which toucheth [05060] their carcase [05038] shall be unclean [02930]. 3 11 37 And if any part of their carcase [05038] fall [05307] upon any sowing [02221] seed [02233] which is to be sown [02232], it shall be clean [02889]. 3 11 38 But if any water [04325] be put [05414] upon the seed [02233], and any part of their carcase [05038] fall [05307] thereon, it shall be unclean [02931] unto you. 3 11 39 And if any beast [0929], of which ye may eat [0402], die [04191]; he that toucheth [05060] the carcase [05038] thereof shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 40 And he that eateth [0398] of the carcase [05038] of it shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]: he also that beareth [05375] the carcase [05038] of it shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 11 41 And every creeping thing [08318] that creepeth [08317] upon the earth [0776] shall be an abomination [08263]; it shall not be eaten [0398]. 3 11 42 Whatsoever goeth [01980] upon the belly [01512], and whatsoever goeth [01980] upon all four [0702], or whatsoever hath more [07235] feet [07272] among all creeping things [08318] that creep [08317] upon the earth [0776], them ye shall not eat [0398]; for they are an abomination [08263]. 3 11 43 Ye shall not make [08262] yourselves [05315] abominable [08262] with any creeping thing [08318] that creepeth [08317], neither shall ye make yourselves unclean [02933] with them, that ye should be defiled [02930] thereby. 3 11 44 For I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves [06942], and ye shall be holy [06918]; for I am holy [06918]: neither shall ye defile [02930] yourselves [05315] with any manner of creeping thing [08318] that creepeth [07430] upon the earth [0776]. 3 11 45 For I am the LORD [03068] that bringeth [05927] you up out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to be your God [0430]: ye shall therefore be holy [06918], for I am holy [06918]. 3 11 46 This is the law [08451] of the beasts [0929], and of the fowl [05775], and of every living [02416] creature [05315] that moveth [07430] in the waters [04325], and of every creature [05315] that creepeth [08317] upon the earth [0776]: 3 11 47 To make a difference [0914] between the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889], and between the beast [02416] that may be eaten [0398] and the beast [02416] that may not be eaten [0398]. 3 12 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 12 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If a woman [0802] have conceived seed [02232], and born [03205] a man child [02145]: then she shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117]; according to the days [03117] of the separation [05079] for her infirmity [01738] shall she be unclean [02930]. 3 12 3 And in the eighth [08066] day [03117] the flesh [01320] of his foreskin [06190] shall be circumcised [04135]. 3 12 4 And she shall then continue [03427] in the blood [01818] of her purifying [02893] three [07969] and thirty [07970] days [03117]; she shall touch [05060] no hallowed [06944] thing, nor come [0935] into the sanctuary [04720], until the days [03117] [03117] of her purifying [02892] be fulfilled [04390]. 3 12 5 But if she bear [03205] a maid child [05347], then she shall be unclean [02930] two weeks [07620], as in her separation [05079]: and she shall continue [03427] in the blood [01818] of her purifying [02893] threescore [08346] and six [08337] days [03117]. 3 12 6 And when the days [03117] of her purifying [02892] are fulfilled [04390], for a son [01121], or for a daughter [01323], she shall bring [0935] a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a burnt offering [05930], and a young [01121] pigeon [03123], or a turtledove [08449], for a sin offering [02403], unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], unto the priest [03548]: 3 12 7 Who shall offer [07126] it before [06440] the LORD [03068], and make an atonement [03722] for her; and she shall be cleansed [02891] from the issue [04726] of her blood [01818]. This is the law [08451] for her that hath born [03205] a male [02145] or a female [05347]. 3 12 8 And if she be not able to bring [04672] [01767] [03027] a lamb [07716], then she shall bring [03947] two [08147] turtles [08449], or two young [01121] pigeons [03123]; the one [0259] for the burnt offering [05930], and the other [0259] for a sin offering [02403]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for her, and she shall be clean [02891]. 3 13 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 3 13 2 When a man [0120] shall have in the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320] a rising [07613], a scab [05597], or bright spot [0934], and it be in the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320] like the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883]; then he shall be brought [0935] unto Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], or unto one [0259] of his sons [01121] the priests [03548]: 3 13 3 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on the plague [05061] in the skin [05785] of the flesh [01320]: and when the hair [08181] in the plague [05061] is turned [02015] white [03836], and the plague [05061] in sight [04758] be deeper [06013] than the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320], it is a plague [05061] of leprosy [06883]: and the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on him, and pronounce him unclean [02930]. 3 13 4 If the bright spot [0934] be white [03836] in the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320], and in sight [04758] be not deeper [06013] than the skin [05785], and the hair [08181] thereof be not turned [02015] white [03836]; then the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] up him that hath the plague [05061] seven [07651] days [03117]: 3 13 5 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on him the seventh [07637] day [03117]: and, behold, if the plague [05061] in his sight [05869] be at a stay [05975], and the plague [05061] spread [06581] not in the skin [05785]; then the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] him up seven [07651] days [03117] more [08145]: 3 13 6 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on him again [08145] the seventh [07637] day [03117]: and, behold, if the plague [05061] be somewhat dark [03544], and the plague [05061] spread [06581] not in the skin [05785], the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891]: it is but a scab [04556]: and he shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be clean [02891]. 3 13 7 But if the scab [04556] spread much [06581] abroad [06581] in the skin [05785], after [0310] that he hath been seen [07200] of the priest [03548] for his cleansing [02893], he shall be seen [07200] of the priest [03548] again [08145]: 3 13 8 And if the priest [03548] see [07200] that, behold, the scab [04556] spreadeth [06581] in the skin [05785], then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is a leprosy [06883]. 3 13 9 When the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883] is in a man [0120], then he shall be brought [0935] unto the priest [03548]; 3 13 10 And the priest [03548] shall see [07200] him: and, behold, if the rising [07613] be white [03836] in the skin [05785], and it have turned [02015] the hair [08181] white [03836], and there be quick [04241] raw [02416] flesh [01320] in the rising [07613]; 3 13 11 It is an old [03462] leprosy [06883] in the skin [05785] of his flesh [01320], and the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930], and shall not shut [05462] him up: for he is unclean [02931]. 3 13 12 And if a leprosy [06883] break out [06524] abroad [06524] in the skin [05785], and the leprosy [06883] cover [03680] all the skin [05785] of him that hath the plague [05061] from his head [07218] even to his foot [07272], wheresoever the priest [03548] looketh [04758] [05869]; 3 13 13 Then the priest [03548] shall consider [07200]: and, behold, if the leprosy [06883] have covered [03680] all his flesh [01320], he shall pronounce him clean [02891] that hath the plague [05061]: it is all turned [02015] white [03836]: he is clean [02889]. 3 13 14 But when [03117] raw [02416] flesh [01320] appeareth [07200] in him, he shall be unclean [02930]. 3 13 15 And the priest [03548] shall see [07200] the raw [02416] flesh [01320], and pronounce him to be unclean [02930]: for the raw [02416] flesh [01320] is unclean [02931]: it is a leprosy [06883]. 3 13 16 Or if the raw [02416] flesh [01320] turn again [07725], and be changed [02015] unto white [03836], he shall come [0935] unto the priest [03548]; 3 13 17 And the priest [03548] shall see [07200] him: and, behold, if the plague [05061] be turned [02015] into white [03836]; then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891] that hath the plague [05061]: he is clean [02889]. 3 13 18 The flesh [01320] also, in which [03588], even in the skin [05785] thereof, was a boil [07822], and is healed [07495], 3 13 19 And in the place [04725] of the boil [07822] there be a white [03836] rising [07613], or a bright spot [0934], white [03836], and somewhat reddish [0125], and it be shewed [07200] to the priest [03548]; 3 13 20 And if, when the priest [03548] seeth [07200] it, behold, it be in sight [04758] lower [08217] than the skin [05785], and the hair [08181] thereof be turned [02015] white [03836]; the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is a plague [05061] of leprosy [06883] broken [06524] out of the boil [07822]. 3 13 21 But if the priest [03548] look [07200] on it, and, behold, there be no white [03836] hairs [08181] therein, and if it be not lower [08217] than the skin [05785], but be somewhat dark [03544]; then the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] him up seven [07651] days [03117]: 3 13 22 And if it spread much [06581] abroad [06581] in the skin [05785], then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is a plague [05061]. 3 13 23 But if the bright spot [0934] stay [05975] in his place, and spread [06581] not, it is a burning [06867] boil [07822]; and the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891]. 3 13 24 Or if there be any flesh [01320], in the skin [05785] whereof there is a hot [0784] burning [04348], and the quick [04241] flesh that burneth [04348] have a white [03836] bright spot [0934], somewhat reddish [0125], or white [03836]; 3 13 25 Then the priest [03548] shall look [07200] upon it: and, behold, if the hair [08181] in the bright spot [0934] be turned [02015] white [03836], and it be in sight [04758] deeper [06013] than the skin [05785]; it is a leprosy [06883] broken [06524] out of the burning [04348]: wherefore the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883]. 3 13 26 But if the priest [03548] look [07200] on it, and, behold, there be no white [03836] hair [08181] in the bright spot [0934], and it be no lower [08217] than the other skin [05785], but be somewhat dark [03544]; then the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] him up seven [07651] days [03117]: 3 13 27 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] upon him the seventh [07637] day [03117]: and if it be spread much [06581] abroad [06581] in the skin [05785], then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883]. 3 13 28 And if the bright [0934] spot [0934] stay [05975] in his place, and spread [06581] not in the skin [05785], but it be somewhat dark [03544]; it is a rising [07613] of the burning [04348], and the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891]: for it is an inflammation [06867] of the burning [04348]. 3 13 29 If a man [0376] or woman [0802] have a plague [05061] upon the head [07218] or the beard [02206]; 3 13 30 Then the priest [03548] shall see [07200] the plague [05061]: and, behold, if it be in sight [04758] deeper [06013] than the skin [05785]; and there be in it a yellow [06669] thin [01851] hair [08181]; then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him unclean [02930]: it is a dry scall [05424], even a leprosy [06883] upon the head [07218] or beard [02206]. 3 13 31 And if the priest [03548] look [07200] on the plague [05061] of the scall [05424], and, behold, it be not in sight [04758] deeper [06013] than the skin [05785], and that there is no black [07838] hair [08181] in it; then the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] up him that hath the plague [05061] of the scall [05424] seven [07651] days [03117]: 3 13 32 And in the seventh [07637] day [03117] the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on the plague [05061]: and, behold, if the scall [05424] spread [06581] not, and there be in it no yellow [06669] hair [08181], and the scall [05424] be not in sight [04758] deeper [06013] than the skin [05785]; 3 13 33 He shall be shaven [01548], but the scall [05424] shall he not shave [01548]; and the priest [03548] shall shut [05462] up him that hath the scall [05424] seven [07651] days [03117] more [08145]: 3 13 34 And in the seventh [07637] day [03117] the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on the scall [05424]: and, behold, if the scall [05424] be not spread [06581] in the skin [05785], nor be in sight [04758] deeper [06013] than the skin [05785]; then the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891]: and he shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be clean [02891]. 3 13 35 But if the scall [05424] spread [06581] much [06581] in the skin [05785] after [0310] his cleansing [02893]; 3 13 36 Then the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on him: and, behold, if the scall [05424] be spread [06581] in the skin [05785], the priest [03548] shall not seek [01239] for yellow [06669] hair [08181]; he is unclean [02931]. 3 13 37 But if the scall [05424] be in his sight [05869] at a stay [05975], and that there is black [07838] hair [08181] grown [06779] up therein; the scall [05424] is healed [07495], he is clean [02889]: and the priest [03548] shall pronounce him clean [02891]. 3 13 38 If a man [0376] also or a woman [0802] have in the skin [05785] of their flesh [01320] bright spots [0934], even white [03836] bright spots [0934]; 3 13 39 Then the priest [03548] shall look [07200]: and, behold, if the bright spots [0934] in the skin [05785] of their flesh [01320] be darkish [03544] white [03836]; it is a freckled spot [0933] that groweth [06524] in the skin [05785]; he is clean [02889]. 3 13 40 And the man [0376] [03588] whose hair is fallen [04803] off his head [07218], he is bald [07142]; yet is he clean [02889]. 3 13 41 And he that hath his hair fallen [04803] off from the part [06285] of his head [07218] toward his face [06440], he is forehead bald [01371]: yet is he clean [02889]. 3 13 42 And if there be in the bald head [07146], or bald forehead [01372], a white [03836] reddish [0125] sore [05061]; it is a leprosy [06883] sprung [06524] up in his bald head [07146], or his bald forehead [01372]. 3 13 43 Then the priest [03548] shall look [07200] upon it: and, behold, if the rising [07613] of the sore [05061] be white [03836] reddish [0125] in his bald head [07146], or in his bald forehead [01372], as the leprosy [06883] appeareth [04758] in the skin [05785] of the flesh [01320]; 3 13 44 He is a leprous [06879] man [0376], he is unclean [02931]: the priest [03548] shall pronounce him utterly [02930] unclean [02930]; his plague [05061] is in his head [07218]. 3 13 45 And the leper [06879] in whom the plague [05061] is, his clothes [0899] shall be rent [06533], and his head [07218] bare [06544], and he shall put a covering [05844] upon his upper lip [08222], and shall cry [07121], Unclean [02931], unclean [02931]. 3 13 46 All the days [03117] wherein the plague [05061] shall be in him he shall be defiled [02930]; he is unclean [02931]: he shall dwell [03427] alone [0910]; without [02351] the camp [04264] shall his habitation [04186] be. 3 13 47 The garment [0899] also that the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883] is in, whether it be a woollen [06785] garment [0899], or a linen [06593] garment [0899]; 3 13 48 Whether it be in the warp [08359], or woof [06154]; of linen [06593], or of woollen [06785]; whether in a skin [05785], or in any thing made [04399] of skin [05785]; 3 13 49 And if the plague [05061] be greenish [03422] or reddish [0125] in the garment [0899], or in the skin [05785], either [0176] in the warp [08359], or in the woof [06154], or in any thing [03627] of skin [05785]; it is a plague [05061] of leprosy [06883], and shall be shewed [07200] unto the priest [03548]: 3 13 50 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] upon the plague [05061], and shut [05462] up it that hath the plague [05061] seven [07651] days [03117]: 3 13 51 And he shall look [07200] on the plague [05061] on the seventh [07637] day [03117]: if the plague [05061] be spread [06581] in the garment [0899], either in the warp [08359], or in the woof [06154], or in a skin [05785], or in any work [04399] that is made [06213] of skin [05785]; the plague [05061] is a fretting [03992] leprosy [06883]; it is unclean [02931]. 3 13 52 He shall therefore burn [08313] that garment [0899], whether warp [08359] or woof [06154], in woollen [06785] or in linen [06593], or any thing [03627] of skin [05785], wherein the plague [05061] is: for it is a fretting [03992] leprosy [06883]; it shall be burnt [08313] in the fire [0784]. 3 13 53 And if the priest [03548] shall look [07200], and, behold, the plague [05061] be not spread [06581] in the garment [0899], either [0176] in the warp [08359], or [0176] in the woof [06154], or [0176] in any thing [03627] of skin [05785]; 3 13 54 Then the priest [03548] shall command [06680] that they wash [03526] the thing wherein the plague [05061] is, and he shall shut [05462] it up seven [07651] days [03117] more [08145]: 3 13 55 And the priest [03548] shall look [07200] on the plague [05061], after [0310] that it is washed [03526]: and, behold, if the plague [05061] have not changed [02015] his colour [05869], and the plague [05061] be not spread [06581]; it is unclean [02931]; thou shalt burn [08313] it in the fire [0784]; it is fret [06356] inward, whether it be bare within [07146] or without [01372]. 3 13 56 And if the priest [03548] look [07200], and, behold, the plague [05061] be somewhat dark [03544] after [0310] the washing [03526] of it; then he shall rend [07167] it out of the garment [0899], or out of the skin [05785], or out of the warp [08359], or out of the woof [06154]: 3 13 57 And if it appear [07200] still [05750] in the garment [0899], either in the warp [08359], or in the woof [06154], or in any thing [03627] of skin [05785]; it is a spreading [06524] plague: thou shalt burn [08313] that wherein the plague [05061] is with fire [0784]. 3 13 58 And the garment [0899], either warp [08359], or woof [06154], or whatsoever thing [03627] of skin [05785] it be, which thou shalt wash [03526], if the plague [05061] be departed [05493] from them, then it shall be washed [03526] the second [08145] time, and shall be clean [02891]. 3 13 59 This is the law [08451] of the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883] in a garment [0899] of woollen [06785] or linen [06593], either in the warp [08359], or woof [06154], or any thing [03627] of skins [05785], to pronounce it clean [02891], or to pronounce it unclean [02930]. 3 14 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 14 2 This shall be the law [08451] of the leper [06879] in the day [03117] of his cleansing [02893]: He shall be brought [0935] unto the priest [03548]: 3 14 3 And the priest [03548] shall go forth [03318] out [02351] of the camp [04264]; and the priest [03548] shall look [07200], and, behold, if the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883] be healed [07495] in the leper [06879]; 3 14 4 Then shall the priest [03548] command [06680] to take [03947] for him that is to be cleansed [02891] two [08147] birds [06833] alive [02416] and clean [02889], and cedar [0730] wood [06086], and scarlet [08144] [08438], and hyssop [0231]: 3 14 5 And the priest [03548] shall command [06680] that one [0259] of the birds [06833] be killed [07819] in an earthen [02789] vessel [03627] over running [02416] water [04325]: 3 14 6 As for the living [02416] bird [06833], he shall take [03947] it, and the cedar [0730] wood [06086], and the scarlet [08144] [08438], and the hyssop [0231], and shall dip [02881] them and the living [02416] bird [06833] in the blood [01818] of the bird [06833] that was killed [07819] over the running [02416] water [04325]: 3 14 7 And he shall sprinkle [05137] upon him that is to be cleansed [02891] from the leprosy [06883] seven [07651] times [06471], and shall pronounce him clean [02891], and shall let the living [02416] bird [06833] loose [07971] into the open [06440] field [07704]. 3 14 8 And he that is to be cleansed [02891] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and shave [01548] off all his hair [08181], and wash [07364] himself in water [04325], that he may be clean [02891]: and after [0310] that he shall come [0935] into the camp [04264], and shall tarry [03427] abroad [02351] out of his tent [0168] seven [07651] days [03117]. 3 14 9 But it shall be on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that he shall shave [01548] all his hair [08181] off his head [07218] and his beard [02206] and his eyebrows [01354] [05869], even all his hair [08181] he shall shave [01548] off: and he shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], also he shall wash [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and he shall be clean [02891]. 3 14 10 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall take [03947] two [08147] he lambs [03532] without blemish [08549], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549], and three [07969] tenth deals [06241] of fine flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and one [0259] log [03849] of oil [08081]. 3 14 11 And the priest [03548] that maketh him clean [02891] shall present [05975] the man [0376] that is to be made clean [02891], and those things, before [06440] the LORD [03068], at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: 3 14 12 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] one [0259] he lamb [03532], and offer [07126] him for a trespass offering [0817], and the log [03849] of oil [08081], and wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 3 14 13 And he shall slay [07819] the lamb [03532] in the place [04725] where he shall kill [07819] the sin offering [02403] and the burnt offering [05930], in the holy [06944] place [04725]: for as the sin offering [02403] is the priest's [03548], so is the trespass offering [0817]: it is most [06944] holy [06944]: 3 14 14 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] some of the blood [01818] of the trespass offering [0817], and the priest [03548] shall put [05414] it upon the tip [08571] of the right [03233] ear [0241] of him that is to be cleansed [02891], and upon the thumb [0931] of his right [03233] hand [03027], and upon the great toe [0931] of his right [03233] foot [07272]: 3 14 15 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] some of the log [03849] of oil [08081], and pour [03332] it into the palm [03709] of his own [03548] left hand [08042]: 3 14 16 And the priest [03548] shall dip [02881] his right [03233] finger [0676] in the oil [08081] that is in his left [08042] hand [03709], and shall sprinkle [05137] of the oil [08081] with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 3 14 17 And of the rest [03499] of the oil [08081] that is in his hand [03709] shall the priest [03548] put [05414] upon the tip [08571] of the right [03233] ear [0241] of him that is to be cleansed [02891], and upon the thumb [0931] of his right [03233] hand [03027], and upon the great toe [0931] of his right [03233] foot [07272], upon the blood [01818] of the trespass offering [0817]: 3 14 18 And the remnant [03498] of the oil [08081] that is in the priest's [03548] hand [03709] he shall pour [05414] upon the head [07218] of him that is to be cleansed [02891]: and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 14 19 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the sin offering [02403], and make an atonement [03722] for him that is to be cleansed [02891] from his uncleanness [02932];

and he shall carry them forth [03318] out [02351] of the city [05892] into an unclean [02931] place [04725]. 3 14 46 Moreover he that goeth [0935] into the house [01004] all the while [03117] that it is shut [05462] up shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 14 47 And he that lieth [07901] in the house [01004] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899]; and he that eateth [0398] in the house [01004] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899]. 3 14 48 And if the priest [03548] shall come in [0935] [0935], and look [07200] upon it, and, behold, the plague [05061] hath not spread [06581] in the house [01004], after [0310] the house [01004] was plaistered [02902]: then the priest [03548] shall pronounce the house [01004] clean [02891], because the plague [05061] is healed [07495]. 3 14 49 And he shall take [03947] to cleanse [02398] the house [01004] two [08147] birds [06833], and cedar [0730] wood [06086], and scarlet [08144] [08438], and hyssop [0231]: 3 14 50 And he shall kill [07819] the one [0259] of the birds [06833] in an earthen [02789] vessel [03627] over running [02416] water [04325]: 3 14 51 And he shall take [03947] the cedar [0730] wood [06086], and the hyssop [0231], and the scarlet [08144] [08438], and the living [02416] bird [06833], and dip [02881] them in the blood [01818] of the slain [07819] bird [06833], and in the running [02416] water [04325], and sprinkle [05137] the house [01004] seven [07651] times [06471]: 3 14 52 And he shall cleanse [02398] the house [01004] with the blood [01818] of the bird [06833], and with the running [02416] water [04325], and with the living [02416] bird [06833], and with the cedar [0730] wood [06086], and with the hyssop [0231], and with the scarlet [08144] [08438]: 3 14 53 But he shall let go [07971] the living [02416] bird [06833] out [02351] of the city [05892] into the open [06440] fields [07704], and make an atonement [03722] for the house [01004]: and it shall be clean [02891]. 3 14 54 This is the law [08451] for all manner of plague [05061] of leprosy [06883], and scall [05424], 3 14 55 And for the leprosy [06883] of a garment [0899], and of a house [01004], 3 14 56 And for a rising [07613], and for a scab [05597], and for a bright spot [0934]: 3 14 57 To teach [03384] when [03117] it is unclean [02931], and when [03117] it is clean [02889]: this is the law [08451] of leprosy [06883]. 3 15 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and to Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 3 15 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When any [0376] man [0376] hath a running issue [02100] out of his flesh [01320], because of his issue [02101] he is unclean [02931]. 3 15 3 And this shall be his uncleanness [02932] in his issue [02101]: whether his flesh [01320] run [07325] with his issue [02101], or his flesh [01320] be stopped [02856] from his issue [02101], it is his uncleanness [02932]. 3 15 4 Every bed [04904], whereon he lieth [07901] that hath the issue [02100], is unclean [02930]: and every thing [03627], whereon he sitteth [03427], shall be unclean [02930]. 3 15 5 And whosoever [0376] toucheth [05060] his bed [04904] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 6 And he that sitteth [03427] on any thing [03627] whereon he sat [03427] that hath the issue [02100] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 7 And he that toucheth [05060] the flesh [01320] of him that hath the issue [02100] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 8 And if he that hath the issue [02100] spit [07556] upon him that is clean [02889]; then he shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 9 And what saddle [04817] soever he rideth [07392] upon that hath the issue [02100] shall be unclean [02930]. 3 15 10 And whosoever toucheth [05060] any thing that was under him shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]: and he that beareth [05375] any of those things shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 11 And whomsoever he toucheth [05060] that hath the issue [02100], and hath not rinsed [07857] his hands [03027] in water [04325], he shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 12 And the vessel [03627] of earth [02789], that he toucheth [05060] which hath the issue [02100], shall be broken [07665]: and every vessel [03627] of wood [06086] shall be rinsed [07857] in water [04325]. 3 15 13 And when he that hath an issue [02100] is cleansed [02891] of his issue [02101]; then he shall number [05608] to himself seven [07651] days [03117] for his cleansing [02893], and wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in running [02416] water [04325], and shall be clean [02891]. 3 15 14 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall take [03947] to him two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], and come [0935] before [06440] the LORD [03068] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and give [05414] them unto the priest [03548]: 3 15 15 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] them, the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him before [06440] the LORD [03068] for his issue [02101]. 3 15 16 And if any man's [0376] seed [02233] of copulation [07902] go out [03318] from him, then he shall wash [07364] all his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 17 And every garment [0899], and every skin [05785], whereon is the seed [02233] of copulation [07902], shall be washed [03526] with water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 18 The woman [0802] also with whom man [0376] shall lie [07901] with seed [02233] of copulation [07902], they shall both bathe [07364] themselves in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 19 And if a woman [0802] have an issue [02100], and her issue [02101] in her flesh [01320] be blood [01818], she shall be put apart [05079] seven [07651] days [03117]: and whosoever toucheth [05060] her shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 20 And every thing that she lieth [07901] upon in her separation [05079] shall be unclean [02930]: every thing also that she sitteth [03427] upon shall be unclean [02930]. 3 15 21 And whosoever toucheth [05060] her bed [04904] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 22 And whosoever toucheth [05060] any thing [03627] that she sat [03427] upon shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 23 And if it be on her bed [04904], or on any thing [03627] whereon she sitteth [03427], when he toucheth [05060] it, he shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 24 And if any man [0376] lie [07901] with her at all [07901], and her flowers [05079] be upon him, he shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117]; and all the bed [04904] whereon he lieth [07901] shall be unclean [02930]. 3 15 25 And if a woman [0802] have [02100] an issue [02101] of her blood [01818] many [07227] days [03117] out [03808] of the time [06256] of her separation [05079], or if it run [02100] beyond the time [05921] of her separation [05079]; all the days [03117] of the issue [02101] of her uncleanness [02932] shall be as the days [03117] of her separation [05079]: she shall be unclean [02931]. 3 15 26 Every bed [04904] whereon she lieth [07901] all the days [03117] of her issue [02101] shall be unto her as the bed [04904] of her separation [05079]: and whatsoever [03627] she sitteth [03427] upon shall be unclean [02931], as the uncleanness [02932] of her separation [05079]. 3 15 27 And whosoever toucheth [05060] those things shall be unclean [02930], and shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 3 15 28 But if she be cleansed [02891] of her issue [02101], then she shall number [05608] to herself seven [07651] days [03117], and after [0310] that she shall be clean [02891]. 3 15 29 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] she shall take [03947] unto her two [08147] turtles [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], and bring [0935] them unto the priest [03548], to the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 15 30 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for her before [06440] the LORD [03068] for the issue [02101] of her uncleanness [02932]. 3 15 31 Thus shall ye separate [05144] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from their uncleanness [02932]; that they die [04191] not in their uncleanness [02932], when they defile [02930] my tabernacle [04908] that is among [08432] them. 3 15 32 This is the law [08451] of him that hath an issue [02100], and of him whose seed [02233] [07902] goeth [03318] from him, and is defiled [02930] therewith; 3 15 33 And of her that is sick [01739] of her flowers [05079], and of him that hath [02100] an issue [02101], of the man [02145], and of the woman [05347], and of him [0376] that lieth [07901] with her that is unclean [02931]. 3 16 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] after [0310] the death [04194] of the two [08147] sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], when they offered [07126] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and died [04191]; 3 16 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], that he come [0935] not at all times [06256] into the holy [06944] place within [01004] the vail [06532] before [06440] the mercy seat [03727], which is upon the ark [0727]; that he die [04191] not: for I will appear [07200] in the cloud [06051] upon the mercy [03727] seat. 3 16 3 Thus [02063] shall Aaron [0175] come [0935] into the holy [06944] place: with a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403], and a ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930]. 3 16 4 He shall put on [03847] the holy [06944] linen [0906] coat [03801], and he shall have the linen [0906] breeches [04370] upon his flesh [01320], and shall be girded [02296] with a linen [0906] girdle [073], and with the linen [0906] mitre [04701] shall he be attired [06801]: these [01992] are holy [06944] garments [0899]; therefore shall he wash [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and so put them on [03847]. 3 16 5 And he shall take [03947] of the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] two [08147] kids [08163] of the goats [05795] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] for a burnt offering [05930]. 3 16 6 And Aaron [0175] shall offer [07126] his bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403], which is for himself [01157], and make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his house [01004]. 3 16 7 And he shall take [03947] the two [08147] goats [08163], and present [05975] them before [06440] the LORD [03068] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 3 16 8 And Aaron [0175] shall cast [05414] lots [01486] upon the two [08147] goats [08163]; one [0259] lot [01486] for the LORD [03068], and the other [0259] lot [01486] for the scapegoat [05799]. 3 16 9 And Aaron [0175] shall bring [07126] the goat [08163] upon which the LORD'S [03068] lot [01486] fell [05927], and offer [06213] him for a sin offering [02403]. 3 16 10 But the goat [08163], on which the lot [01486] fell [05927] to be the scapegoat [05799], shall be presented [05975] alive [02416] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to make an atonement [03722] with him, and to let him go [07971] for a scapegoat [05799] into the wilderness [04057]. 3 16 11 And Aaron [0175] shall bring [07126] the bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403], which is for himself, and shall make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his house [01004], and shall kill [07819] the bullock [06499] of the sin offering [02403] which is for himself: 3 16 12 And he shall take [03947] a censer [04289] full [04393] of burning [0784] coals [01513] of fire [0784] from off the altar [04196] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and his hands [02651] full [04393] of sweet [05561] incense [07004] beaten small [01851], and bring [0935] it within [01004] the vail [06532]: 3 16 13 And he shall put [05414] the incense [07004] upon the fire [0784] before [06440] the LORD [03068], that the cloud [06051] of the incense [07004] may cover [03680] the mercy seat [03727] that is upon the testimony [05715], that he die [04191] not: 3 16 14 And he shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and sprinkle [05137] it with his finger [0676] upon the mercy seat [03727] eastward [06924]; and before [06440] the mercy seat [03727] shall he sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471]. 3 16 15 Then shall he kill [07819] the goat [08163] of the sin offering [02403], that is for the people [05971], and bring [0935] his blood [01818] within [01004] the vail [06532], and do [06213] with that blood [01818] as he did [06213] with the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and sprinkle [05137] it upon the mercy seat [03727], and before [06440] the mercy seat [03727]: 3 16 16 And he shall make an atonement [03722] for the holy [06944] place, because of the uncleanness [02932] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and because of their transgressions [06588] in all their sins [02403]: and so shall he do [06213] for the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], that remaineth [07931] among them in the midst [08432] of their uncleanness [02932]. 3 16 17 And there shall be no man [0120] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] when he goeth [0935] in to make an atonement [03722] in the holy [06944] place, until he come out [03318], and have made an atonement [03722] for himself, and for his household [01004], and for all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478]. 3 16 18 And he shall go out [03318] unto the altar [04196] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068], and make an atonement [03722] for it; and shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and of the blood [01818] of the goat [08163], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] round about [05439]. 3 16 19 And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] upon it with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471], and cleanse [02891] it, and hallow [06942] it from the uncleanness [02932] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 3 16 20 And when he hath made an end [03615] of reconciling [03722] the holy [06944] place, and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the altar [04196], he shall bring [07126] the live [02416] goat [08163]: 3 16 21 And Aaron [0175] shall lay [05564] both [08147] his hands [03027] upon the head [07218] of the live [02416] goat [08163], and confess [03034] over him all the iniquities [05771] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and all their transgressions [06588] in all their sins [02403], putting [05414] them upon the head [07218] of the goat [08163], and shall send him away [07971] by the hand [03027] of a fit [06261] man [0376] into the wilderness [04057]: 3 16 22 And the goat [08163] shall bear [05375] upon him all their iniquities [05771] unto a land [0776] not inhabited [01509]: and he shall let go [07971] the goat [08163] in the wilderness [04057]. 3 16 23 And Aaron [0175] shall come [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall put off [06584] the linen [0906] garments [0899], which he put on [03847] when he went [0935] into the holy [06944] place, and shall leave [03240] them there: 3 16 24 And he shall wash [07364] his flesh [01320] with water [04325] in the holy [06918] place [04725], and put on [03847] his garments [0899], and come forth [03318], and offer [06213] his burnt offering [05930], and the burnt offering [05930] of the people [05971], and make an atonement [03722] for himself, and for the people [05971]. 3 16 25 And the fat [02459] of the sin offering [02403] shall he burn [06999] upon the altar [04196]. 3 16 26 And he that let go [07971] the goat [08163] for the scapegoat [05799] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and afterward [0310] come [0935] into the camp [04264]. 3 16 27 And the bullock [06499] for the sin offering [02403], and the goat [08163] for the sin offering [02403], whose blood [01818] was brought in [0935] to make atonement [03722] in the holy [06944] place, shall one carry forth [03318] without [02351] the camp [04264]; and they shall burn [08313] in the fire [0784] their skins [05785], and their flesh [01320], and their dung [06569]. 3 16 28 And he that burneth [08313] them shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and afterward [0310] he shall come [0935] into the camp [04264]. 3 16 29 And this shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] unto you: that in the seventh [07637] month [02320], on the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315], and do [06213] no work [04399] at all, whether it be one of your own country [0249], or a stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] you: 3 16 30 For on that day [03117] shall the priest make an atonement [03722] for you, to cleanse [02891] you, that ye may be clean [02891] from all your sins [02403] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 16 31 It shall be a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] unto you, and ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315], by a statute [02708] for ever [05769]. 3 16 32 And the priest [03548], whom he shall anoint [04886], and whom he shall consecrate [04390] [03027] to minister in the priest's office [03547] in his father's [01] stead, shall make the atonement [03722], and shall put on [03847] the linen [0906] clothes [0899], even the holy [06944] garments [0899]: 3 16 33 And he shall make an atonement [03722] for the holy [06944] sanctuary [04720], and he shall make an atonement [03722] for the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and for the altar [04196], and he shall make an atonement [03722] for the priests [03548], and for all the people [05971] of the congregation [06951]. 3 16 34 And this shall be an everlasting [05769] statute [02708] unto you, to make an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for all their sins [02403] once [0259] a year [08141]. And he did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 17 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 17 2 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175], and unto his sons [01121], and unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them; This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680], saying [0559], 3 17 3 What [0376] man [0376] soever there be of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], that killeth [07819] an ox [07794], or lamb [03775], or goat [05795], in the camp [04264], or that killeth [07819] it out [02351] of the camp [04264], 3 17 4 And bringeth [0935] it not unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], to offer [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] before [06440] the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]; blood [01818] shall be imputed [02803] unto that man [0376]; he hath shed [08210] blood [01818]; and that man [0376] shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]: 3 17 5 To the end that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] may bring [0935] their sacrifices [02077], which they offer [02076] in the open [06440] field [07704], even that they may bring [0935] them unto the LORD [03068], unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], unto the priest [03548], and offer [02076] them for peace [08002] offerings [02077] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 17 6 And the priest [03548] shall sprinkle [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and burn [06999] the fat [02459] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 17 7 And they shall no more offer [02076] their sacrifices [02077] unto devils [08163], after [0310] whom they have gone a whoring [02181]. This shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] unto them throughout their generations [01755]. 3 17 8 And thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Whatsoever man [0376] there be of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] which sojourn [01481] among [08432] you, that offereth [05927] a burnt offering [05930] or sacrifice [02077], 3 17 9 And bringeth [0935] it not unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], to offer [06213] it unto the LORD [03068]; even that man [0376] shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971]. 3 17 10 And whatsoever man [0376] there be of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] that sojourn [01481] among [08432] you, that eateth [0398] any manner of blood [01818]; I will even set [05414] my face [06440] against that soul [05315] that eateth [0398] blood [01818], and will cut him off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]. 3 17 11 For the life [05315] of the flesh [01320] is in the blood [01818]: and I have given [05414] it to you upon the altar [04196] to make an atonement [03722] for your souls [05315]: for it is the blood [01818] that maketh an atonement [03722] for the soul [05315]. 3 17 12 Therefore I said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], No soul [05315] of you shall eat [0398] blood [01818], neither shall any stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] you eat [0398] blood [01818]. 3 17 13 And whatsoever man [0376] there be of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] that sojourn [01481] among [08432] you, which hunteth [06679] and catcheth [06718] any beast [02416] or fowl [05775] that may be eaten [0398]; he shall even pour [08210] out the blood [01818] thereof, and cover [03680] it with dust [06083]. 3 17 14 For it is the life [05315] of all flesh [01320]; the blood [01818] of it is for the life [05315] thereof: therefore I said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Ye shall eat [0398] the blood [01818] of no manner of flesh [01320]: for the life [05315] of all flesh [01320] is the blood [01818] thereof: whosoever eateth [0398] it shall be cut off [03772]. 3 17 15 And every soul [05315] that eateth [0398] that which died [05038] of itself, or that which was torn [02966] with beasts, whether it be one of your own country [0249], or a stranger [01616], he shall both wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]: then shall he be clean [02891]. 3 17 16 But if he wash [03526] them not, nor bathe [07364] his flesh [01320]; then he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771]. 3 18 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 18 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 18 3 After the doings [04639] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], wherein ye dwelt [03427], shall ye not do [06213]: and after the doings [04639] of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], whither I bring [0935] you, shall ye not do [06213]: neither shall ye walk [03212] in their ordinances [02708]. 3 18 4 Ye shall do [06213] my judgments [04941], and keep [08104] mine ordinances [02708], to walk [03212] therein: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 18 5 Ye shall therefore keep [08104] my statutes [02708], and my judgments [04941]: which [0834] if a man [0120] do [06213], he shall live [02425] in them: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 18 6 None of you shall approach [07126] to any [0376] that is near [07607] of kin [01320] to him, to uncover [01540] their nakedness [06172]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 18 7 The nakedness [06172] of thy father [01], or the nakedness [06172] of thy mother [0517], shalt thou not uncover [01540]: she is thy mother [0517]; thou shalt not uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172]. 3 18 8 The nakedness [06172] of thy father's [01] wife [0802] shalt thou not uncover [01540]: it is thy father's [01] nakedness [06172]. 3 18 9 The nakedness [06172] of thy sister [0269], the daughter [01323] of thy father [01], or daughter [01323] of thy mother [0517], whether she be born [04138] at home [01004], or born [04138] abroad [02351], even their nakedness [06172] thou shalt not uncover [01540]. 3 18 10 The nakedness [06172] of thy son's [01121] daughter [01323], or of thy daughter's [01323] daughter [01323], even their nakedness [06172] thou shalt not uncover [01540]: for theirs [02007] is thine own nakedness [06172]. 3 18 11 The nakedness [06172] of thy father's [01] wife's [0802] daughter [01323], begotten [04138] of thy father [01], she is thy sister [0269], thou shalt not uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172]. 3 18 12 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy father's [01] sister [0269]: she is thy father's [01] near kinswoman [07607]. 3 18 13 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy mother's [0517] sister [0269]: for she is thy mother's [0517] near kinswoman [07607]. 3 18 14 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy father's [01] brother [0251], thou shalt not approach [07126] to his wife [0802]: she is thine aunt [01733]. 3 18 15 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy daughter in law [03618]: she is thy son's [01121] wife [0802]; thou shalt not uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172]. 3 18 16 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy brother's [0251] wife [0802]: it is thy brother's [0251] nakedness [06172]. 3 18 17 Thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of a woman [0802] and her daughter [01323], neither shalt thou take [03947] her son's [01121] daughter [01323], or her daughter's [01323] daughter [01323], to uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172]; for they are her near kinswomen [07608]: it is wickedness [02154]. 3 18 18 Neither shalt thou take [03947] a wife [0802] to her sister [0269], to vex [06887] her, to uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172], beside the other in her life [02416] time. 3 18 19 Also thou shalt not approach [07126] unto a woman [0802] to uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172], as long as she is put apart [05079] for her uncleanness [02932]. 3 18 20 Moreover thou shalt not [05414] lie [07903] carnally [02233] with thy neighbour's [05997] wife [0802], to defile [02930] thyself with her. 3 18 21 And thou shalt not [05414] let any of thy seed [02233] pass [05674] through the fire to Molech [04432], neither shalt thou profane [02490] the name [08034] of thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 18 22 Thou shalt not lie [07901] with mankind [02145], as with [04904] womankind [0802]: it is abomination [08441]. 3 18 23 Neither shalt thou [05414] lie [07903] with any beast [0929] to defile [02930] thyself therewith: neither shall any woman [0802] stand [05975] before [06440] a beast [0929] to lie down [07250] thereto: it is confusion [08397]. 3 18 24 Defile [02930] not ye yourselves in any of these things [0428]: for in all these the nations [01471] are defiled [02930] which I cast out [07971] before [06440] you: 3 18 25 And the land [0776] is defiled [02930]: therefore I do visit [06485] the iniquity [05771] thereof upon it, and the land [0776] itself vomiteth out [06958] her inhabitants [03427]. 3 18 26 Ye shall therefore keep [08104] my statutes [02708] and my judgments [04941], and shall not commit [06213] any of these abominations [08441]; neither any of your own nation [0249], nor any stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] you: 3 18 27 (For all these [0411] abominations [08441] have the men [0582] of the land [0776] done [06213], which were before [06440] you, and the land [0776] is defiled [02930] 3 18 28 That the land [0776] spue not you out [06958] also, when ye defile [02930] it, as it spued out [06958] the nations [01471] that were before [06440] you. 3 18 29 For whosoever shall commit [06213] any of these abominations [08441], even the souls [05315] that commit [06213] them shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] their people [05971]. 3 18 30 Therefore shall ye keep [08104] mine ordinance [04931], that ye commit [06213] not any one of these abominable [08441] customs [02708], which were committed [06213] before [06440] you, and that ye defile [02930] not yourselves therein: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 19 2 Speak [01696] unto all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, Ye shall be holy [06918]: for I the LORD [03068] your God [0430] am holy [06918]. 3 19 3 Ye shall fear [03372] every man [0376] his mother [0517], and his father [01], and keep [08104] my sabbaths [07676]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 4 Turn [06437] ye not unto idols [0457], nor make [06213] to yourselves molten [04541] gods [0430]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 5 And if ye offer [02076] a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068], ye shall offer [02076] it at your own will [07522]. 3 19 6 It shall be eaten [0398] the same day [03117] ye offer [02077] it, and on the morrow [04283]: and if ought remain [03498] until the third [07992] day [03117], it shall be burnt [08313] in the fire [0784]. 3 19 7 And if it be eaten [0398] at all [0398] on the third [07992] day [03117], it is abominable [06292]; it shall not be accepted [07521]. 3 19 8 Therefore every one that eateth [0398] it shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771], because he hath profaned [02490] the hallowed thing [06944] of the LORD [03068]: and that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971]. 3 19 9 And when ye reap [07114] the harvest [07105] of your land [0776], thou shalt not wholly reap [03615] the corners [06285] of thy field [07704], neither shalt thou gather [03950] the gleanings [03951] of thy harvest [07105]. 3 19 10 And thou shalt not glean [05953] thy vineyard [03754], neither shalt thou gather [03950] every grape [06528] of thy vineyard [03754]; thou shalt leave [05800] them for the poor [06041] and stranger [01616]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 11 Ye shall not steal [01589], neither deal falsely [03584], neither lie [08266] one [0376] to another [05997]. 3 19 12 And ye shall not swear [07650] by my name [08034] falsely [08267], neither shalt thou profane [02490] the name [08034] of thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 13 Thou shalt not defraud [06231] thy neighbour [07453], neither rob [01497] him: the wages [06468] of him that is hired [07916] shall not abide [03885] with thee all night until the morning [01242]. 3 19 14 Thou shalt not curse [07043] the deaf [02795], nor put [05414] a stumblingblock [04383] before [06440] the blind [05787], but shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 15 Ye shall do [06213] no unrighteousness [05766] in judgment [04941]: thou shalt not respect [05375] the person [06440] of the poor [01800], nor honour [01921] the person [06440] of the mighty [01419]: but in righteousness [06664] shalt thou judge [08199] thy neighbour [05997]. 3 19 16 Thou shalt not go [03212] up and down as a talebearer [07400] among thy people [05971]: neither shalt thou stand [05975] against the blood [01818] of thy neighbour [07453]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 17 Thou shalt not hate [08130] thy brother [0251] in thine heart [03824]: thou shalt in any wise [03198] rebuke [03198] thy neighbour [05997], and not suffer [05375] sin [02399] upon him. 3 19 18 Thou shalt not avenge [05358], nor bear any grudge [05201] against the children [01121] of thy people [05971], but thou shalt love [0157] thy neighbour [07453] as thyself [03644]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 19 Ye shall keep [08104] my statutes [02708]. Thou shalt not let thy cattle [0929] gender [07250] with a diverse kind [03610]: thou shalt not sow [02232] thy field [07704] with mingled seed [03610]: neither shall a garment [0899] mingled [03610] of linen and woollen [08162] come [05927] upon thee. 3 19 20 And whosoever [0376] lieth [07901] carnally [02233] [07902] with a woman [0802], that is a bondmaid [08198], betrothed [02778] to an husband [0376], and not at all [06299] redeemed [06299], nor freedom [02668] given [05414] her; she shall be scourged [01244]; they shall not be put to death [04191], because she was not free [02666]. 3 19 21 And he shall bring [0935] his trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068], unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], even a ram [0352] for a trespass offering [0817]. 3 19 22 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him with the ram [0352] of the trespass offering [0817] before [06440] the LORD [03068] for his sin [02403] which he hath done [02398]: and the sin [02403] which he hath done [02398] shall be forgiven [05545] him. 3 19 23 And when ye shall come [0935] into the land [0776], and shall have planted [05193] all manner of trees [06086] for food [03978], then ye shall count [06188] the fruit [06529] thereof as uncircumcised [06188] [06190]: three [07969] years [08141] shall it be as uncircumcised [06189] unto you: it shall not be eaten [0398] of. 3 19 24 But in the fourth [07243] year [08141] all the fruit [06529] thereof shall be holy [06944] to praise [01974] the LORD [03068] withal. 3 19 25 And in the fifth [02549] year [08141] shall ye eat [0398] of the fruit [06529] thereof, that it may yield [03254] unto you the increase [08393] thereof: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 26 Ye shall not eat [0398] any thing with the blood [01818]: neither shall ye use enchantment [05172], nor observe times [06049]. 3 19 27 Ye shall not round [05362] the corners [06285] of your heads [07218], neither shalt thou mar [07843] the corners [06285] of thy beard [02206]. 3 19 28 Ye shall not make [05414] any [03793] cuttings [08296] in your flesh [01320] for the dead [05315], nor print [05414] any marks [07085] upon you: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 29 Do not prostitute [02490] thy daughter [01323], to cause her to be a whore [02181]; lest the land [0776] fall to whoredom [02181], and the land [0776] become full [04390] of wickedness [02154]. 3 19 30 Ye shall keep [08104] my sabbaths [07676], and reverence [03372] my sanctuary [04720]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 31 Regard [06437] not them that have familiar spirits [0178], neither seek [01245] after wizards [03049], to be defiled [02930] by them: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 32 Thou shalt rise up [06965] before [06440] the hoary head [07872], and honour [01921] the face [06440] of the old man [02205], and fear [03372] thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 19 33 And if a stranger [01616] sojourn [01481] with thee in your land [0776], ye shall not vex [03238] him. 3 19 34 But the stranger [01616] that dwelleth [01481] with you shall be unto you as one born [0249] among you, and thou shalt love [0157] him as thyself; for ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 19 35 Ye shall do [06213] no unrighteousness [05766] in judgment [04941], in meteyard [04060], in weight [04948], or in measure [04884]. 3 19 36 Just [06664] balances [03976], just [06664] weights [068], a just [06664] ephah [0374], and a just [06664] hin [01969], shall ye have: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 3 19 37 Therefore shall ye observe [08104] all my statutes [02708], and all my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 20 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 20 2 Again, thou shalt say [0559] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Whosoever [0376] he be of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] that sojourn [01481] in Israel [03478], that giveth [05414] any of his seed [02233] unto Molech [04432]; he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068]. 3 20 3 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against that man [0376], and will cut him off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]; because he hath given [05414] of his seed [02233] unto Molech [04432], to defile [02930] my sanctuary [04720], and to profane [02490] my holy [06944] name [08034]. 3 20 4 And if the people [05971] of the land [0776] do any ways [05956] hide [05956] their eyes [05869] from the man [0376], when he giveth [05414] of his seed [02233] unto Molech [04432], and kill [04191] him not [01115]: 3 20 5 Then I will set [07760] my face [06440] against that man [0376], and against his family [04940], and will cut him off [03772], and all that go a whoring [02181] after [0310] him, to commit whoredom [02181] with Molech [04432], from among [07130] their people [05971]. 3 20 6 And the soul [05315] that turneth [06437] after [0413] such as have familiar spirits [0178], and after [0310] wizards [03049], to go a whoring [02181] after [0310] them, I will even set [05414] my face [06440] against that soul [05315], and will cut him off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]. 3 20 7 Sanctify [06942] yourselves therefore, and be ye holy [06918]: for I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 20 8 And ye shall keep [08104] my statutes [02708], and do [06213] them: I am the LORD [03068] which sanctify [06942] you. 3 20 9 For every [0376] one [0376] that curseth [07043] his father [01] or his mother [0517] shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]: he hath cursed [07043] his father [01] or his mother [0517]; his blood [01818] shall be upon him. 3 20 10 And the man [0376] that committeth adultery [05003] with another man's [0376] wife [0802], even he that committeth adultery [05003] with his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], the adulterer [05003] and the adulteress [05003] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 3 20 11 And the man [0376] that lieth [07901] with his father's [01] wife [0802] hath uncovered [01540] his father's [01] nakedness [06172]: both [08147] of them shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]; their blood [01818] shall be upon them. 3 20 12 And if a man [0376] lie [07901] with his daughter in law [03618], both [08147] of them shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: they have wrought [06213] confusion [08397]; their blood [01818] shall be upon them. 3 20 13 If a man [0376] also lie [07901] with mankind [02145], as he lieth [04904] with a woman [0802], both [08147] of them have committed [06213] an abomination [08441]: they shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]; their blood [01818] shall be upon them. 3 20 14 And if a man [0376] take [03947] a wife [0802] and her mother [0517], it is wickedness [02154]: they shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784], both he and they; that there be no wickedness [02154] among [08432] you. 3 20 15 And if a man [0376] lie [05414] [07903] with a beast [0929], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: and ye shall slay [02026] the beast [0929]. 3 20 16 And if a woman [0802] approach [07126] unto any beast [0929], and lie down [07250] thereto, thou shalt kill [02026] the woman [0802], and the beast [0929]: they shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]; their blood [01818] shall be upon them. 3 20 17 And if a man [0376] shall take [03947] his sister [0269], his father's [01] daughter [01323], or [0176] his mother's [0517] daughter [01323], and see [07200] her nakedness [06172], and she see [07200] his nakedness [06172]; it is a wicked thing [02617]; and they shall be cut off [03772] in the sight [05869] of their people [05971] [01121]: he hath uncovered [01540] his sister's [0269] nakedness [06172]; he shall bear [05375] his iniquity [05771]. 3 20 18 And if a man [0376] shall lie [07901] with a woman [0802] having her sickness [01739], and shall uncover [01540] her nakedness [06172]; he hath discovered [06168] her fountain [04726], and she hath uncovered [01540] the fountain [04726] of her blood [01818]: and both [08147] of them shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] their people [05971]. 3 20 19 And thou shalt not uncover [01540] the nakedness [06172] of thy mother's [0517] sister [0269], nor of thy father's [01] sister [0269]: for he uncovereth [06168] his near kin [07607]: they shall bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]. 3 20 20 And if a man [0376] shall lie [07901] with his uncle's wife [01733], he hath uncovered [01540] his uncle's [01730] nakedness [06172]: they shall bear [05375] their sin [02399]; they shall die [04191] childless [06185]. 3 20 21 And if a man [0376] shall take [03947] his brother's [0251] wife [0802], it is an unclean thing [05079]: he hath uncovered [01540] his brother's [0251] nakedness [06172]; they shall be childless [06185]. 3 20 22 Ye shall therefore keep [08104] all my statutes [02708], and all my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them: that the land [0776], whither I bring [0935] you to dwell [03427] therein, spue you not out [06958]. 3 20 23 And ye shall not walk [03212] in the manners [02708] of the nation [01471], which I cast out [07971] before [06440] you: for they committed [06213] all these things, and therefore I abhorred [06973] them. 3 20 24 But I have said [0559] unto you, Ye shall inherit [03423] their land [0127], and I will give [05414] it unto you to possess [03423] it, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which have separated [0914] you from other people [05971]. 3 20 25 Ye shall therefore put difference [0914] between clean [02889] beasts [0929] and unclean [02931], and between unclean [02931] fowls [05775] and clean [02889]: and ye shall not make your souls [05315] abominable [08262] by beast [0929], or by fowl [05775], or by any manner of living thing that creepeth [07430] on the ground [0127], which I have separated [0914] from you as unclean [02930]. 3 20 26 And ye shall be holy [06918] unto me: for I the LORD [03068] am holy [06918], and have severed [0914] you from other people [05971], that ye should be mine. 3 20 27 A man [0376] also or woman [0802] that hath [03588] a familiar spirit [0178], or that is a wizard [03049], shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]: they shall stone [07275] them with stones [068]: their blood [01818] shall be upon them. 3 21 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [0559] unto the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], and say [0559] unto them, There shall none be defiled [02930] for the dead [05315] among his people [05971]: 3 21 2 But for his kin [07607], that is near [07138] unto him, that is, for his mother [0517], and for his father [01], and for his son [01121], and for his daughter [01323], and for his brother [0251], 3 21 3 And for his sister [0269] a virgin [01330], that is nigh [07138] unto him, which hath had no husband [0376]; for her may he be defiled [02930]. 3 21 4 But he shall not defile [02930] himself, being a chief man [01167] among his people [05971], to profane [02490] himself. 3 21 5 They shall not make [07139] baldness [07144] upon their head [07218], neither shall they shave off [01548] the corner [06285] of their beard [02206], nor make [08295] any cuttings [08296] in their flesh [01320]. 3 21 6 They shall be holy [06944] unto their God [0430], and not profane [02490] the name [08034] of their God [0430]: for the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], and the bread [03899] of their God [0430], they do offer [07126]: therefore they shall be holy [06918]. 3 21 7 They shall not take [03947] a wife [0802] that is a whore [02181], or profane [02491]; neither shall they take [03947] a woman [0802] put away [01644] from her husband [0376]: for he is holy [06918] unto his God [0430]. 3 21 8 Thou shalt sanctify [06942] him therefore; for he offereth [07126] the bread [03899] of thy God [0430]: he shall be holy [06918] unto thee: for I the LORD [03068], which sanctify [06942] you, am holy [06918]. 3 21 9 And the daughter [01323] of any [0376] priest [03548], if she profane [02490] herself by playing the whore [02181], she profaneth [02490] her father [01]: she shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784]. 3 21 10 And he that is the high [01419] priest [03548] among his brethren [0251], upon whose head [07218] the anointing [04888] oil [08081] was poured [03332], and that is consecrated [04390] [03027] to put [03847] on the garments [0899], shall not uncover [06544] his head [07218], nor rend [06533] his clothes [0899]; 3 21 11 Neither shall he go in [0935] to any dead [04191] body [05315], nor defile [02930] himself for his father [01], or for his mother [0517]; 3 21 12 Neither shall he go out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720], nor profane [02490] the sanctuary [04720] of his God [0430]; for the crown [05145] of the anointing [04888] oil [08081] of his God [0430] is upon him: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 21 13 And he shall take [03947] a wife [0802] in her virginity [01331]. 3 21 14 A widow [0490], or a divorced woman [01644], or profane [02491], or an harlot [02181], these shall he not take [03947]: but he shall take [03947] a virgin [01330] of his own people [05971] to wife [0802]. 3 21 15 Neither shall he profane [02490] his seed [02233] among his people [05971]: for I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] him. 3 21 16 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 21 17 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], Whosoever [0376] he be of thy seed [02233] in their generations [01755] that hath any blemish [03971], let him not approach [07126] to offer [07126] the bread [03899] of his God [0430]. 3 21 18 For whatsoever man [0376] he be that hath a blemish [03971], he shall not approach [07126]: a blind [05787] man [0376], or a lame [06455], or he that hath a flat nose [02763], or any thing superfluous [08311], 3 21 19 Or a man [0376] that is brokenfooted [07667] [07272], or brokenhanded [07667] [03027], 3 21 20 Or crookbackt [01384], or a dwarf [01851], or that hath a blemish [08400] in his eye [05869], or be scurvy [01618], or scabbed [03217], or hath his stones [0810] broken [04790]; 3 21 21 No man [0376] that hath a blemish [03971] of the seed [02233] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548] shall come nigh [05066] to offer [07126] the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801]: he hath a blemish [03971]; he shall not come nigh [05066] to offer [07126] the bread [03899] of his God [0430]. 3 21 22 He shall eat [0398] the bread [03899] of his God [0430], both of the most [06944] holy [06944], and of the holy [06944]. 3 21 23 Only he shall not go in [0935] unto the vail [06532], nor come nigh [05066] unto the altar [04196], because he hath a blemish [03971]; that he profane [02490] not my sanctuaries [04720]: for I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] them. 3 21 24 And Moses [04872] told [01696] it unto Aaron [0175], and to his sons [01121], and unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 3 22 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 22 2 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121], that they separate [05144] themselves from the holy things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and that they profane [02490] not my holy [06944] name [08034] in those things which they hallow [06942] unto me: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 22 3 Say [0559] unto them, Whosoever [0376] he be of all your seed [02233] among your generations [01755], that goeth [07126] unto the holy things [06944], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] hallow [06942] unto the LORD [03068], having his uncleanness [02932] upon him, that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from my presence [06440]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 22 4 What man soever [0376] of the seed [02233] of Aaron [0175] is a leper [06879], or hath a running issue [02100]; he shall not eat [0398] of the holy things [06944], until he be clean [02891]. And whoso toucheth [05060] any thing that is unclean [02931] by the dead [05315], or a man [0376] whose seed [02233] [07902] goeth [03318] from him; 3 22 5 Or whosoever [0376] toucheth [05060] any creeping thing [08318], whereby he may be made unclean [02930], or a man [0120] of whom he may take uncleanness [02930], whatsoever uncleanness [02932] he hath; 3 22 6 The soul [05315] which hath touched [05060] any such shall be unclean [02930] until even [06153], and shall not eat [0398] of the holy things [06944], unless [0518] he wash [07364] his flesh [01320] with water [04325]. 3 22 7 And when the sun [08121] is down [0935], he shall be clean [02891], and shall afterward [0310] eat [0398] of the holy things [06944]; because it is his food [03899]. 3 22 8 That which dieth of itself [05038], or is torn [02966] with beasts, he shall not eat [0398] to defile [02930] himself therewith: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 22 9 They shall therefore keep [08104] mine ordinance [04931], lest they bear [05375] sin [02399] for it, and die [04191] therefore, if they profane [02490] it: I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] them. 3 22 10 There shall no stranger [02114] eat [0398] of the holy thing [06944]: a sojourner [08453] of the priest [03548], or an hired servant [07916], shall not eat [0398] of the holy thing [06944]. 3 22 11 But if the priest [03548] buy [07069] any soul [05315] with [07075] his money [03701], he shall eat [0398] of it, and he that is born [03211] in his house [01004]: they shall eat [0398] of his meat [03899]. 3 22 12 If the priest's [03548] daughter [01323] also be married unto a stranger [0376] [02114], she may not eat [0398] of an offering [08641] of the holy things [06944]. 3 22 13 But if the priest's [03548] daughter [01323] be a widow [0490], or divorced [01644], and have no child [02233], and is returned [07725] unto her father's [01] house [01004], as in her youth [05271], she shall eat [0398] of her father's [01] meat [03899]: but there shall no stranger [02114] eat [0398] thereof. 3 22 14 And if a man [0376] eat [0398] of the holy thing [06944] unwittingly [07684], then he shall put [03254] the fifth [02549] part thereof unto it, and shall give [05414] it unto the priest [03548] with the holy thing [06944]. 3 22 15 And they shall not profane [02490] the holy things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they offer [07311] unto the LORD [03068]; 3 22 16 Or suffer them to bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of trespass [0819], when they eat [0398] their holy things [06944]: for I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] them. 3 22 17 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 22 18 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175], and to his sons [01121], and unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, Whatsoever [0376] he be of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or of the strangers [01616] in Israel [03478], that will offer [07126] his oblation [07133] for all his vows [05088], and for all his freewill offerings [05071], which they will offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] for a burnt offering [05930]; 3 22 19 Ye shall offer at your own will [07522] a male [02145] without blemish [08549], of the beeves [01241], of the sheep [03775], or of the goats [05795]. 3 22 20 But whatsoever hath a blemish [03971], that shall ye not offer [07126]: for it shall not be acceptable [07522] for you. 3 22 21 And whosoever [0376] offereth [07126] a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068] to accomplish [06381] his vow [05088], or a freewill offering [05071] in beeves [01241] or sheep [06629], it shall be perfect [08549] to be accepted [07522]; there shall be no blemish [03971] therein. 3 22 22 Blind [05788], or broken [07665], or maimed [02782], or having a wen [02990], or scurvy [01618], or scabbed [03217], ye shall not offer [07126] these unto the LORD [03068], nor make [05414] an offering by fire [0801] of them upon the altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 22 23 Either a bullock [07794] or a lamb [07716] that hath any thing superfluous [08311] or lacking in his parts [07038], that mayest thou offer [06213] for a freewill offering [05071]; but for a vow [05088] it shall not be accepted [07521]. 3 22 24 Ye shall not offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] that which is bruised [04600], or crushed [03807], or broken [05423], or cut [03772]; neither shall ye make [06213] any offering thereof in your land [0776]. 3 22 25 Neither from a stranger's [05236] hand [03027] [01121] shall ye offer [07126] the bread [03899] of your God [0430] of any of these; because their corruption [04893] is in them, and blemishes [03971] be in them: they shall not be accepted [07521] for you. 3 22 26 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 22 27 When a bullock [07794], or a sheep [03775], or a goat [05795], is brought forth [03205], then it shall be seven [07651] days [03117] under the dam [0517]; and from the eighth [08066] day [03117] and thenceforth [01973] it shall be accepted [07521] for an offering [07133] made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 22 28 And whether it be cow [07794] or ewe [07716], ye shall not kill [07819] it and her young [01121] both in one [0259] day [03117]. 3 22 29 And when ye will offer [02076] a sacrifice [02077] of thanksgiving [08426] unto the LORD [03068], offer [02076] it at your own will [07522]. 3 22 30 On the same day [03117] it shall be eaten up [0398]; ye shall leave [03498] none of it until the morrow [01242]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 22 31 Therefore shall ye keep [08104] my commandments [04687], and do [06213] them: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 22 32 Neither shall ye profane [02490] my holy [06944] name [08034]; but I will be hallowed [06942] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: I am the LORD [03068] which hallow [06942] you, 3 22 33 That brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to be your God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 23 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 23 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, Concerning the feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068], which ye shall proclaim [07121] to be holy [06944] convocations [04744], even these are my feasts [04150]. 3 23 3 Six [08337] days [03117] shall work [04399] be done [06213]: but the seventh [07637] day [03117] is the sabbath [07676] of rest [07677], an holy [06944] convocation [04744]; ye shall do [06213] no work [04399] therein: it is the sabbath [07676] of the LORD [03068] in all your dwellings [04186]. 3 23 4 These are the feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068], even holy [06944] convocations [04744], which ye shall proclaim [07121] in their seasons [04150]. 3 23 5 In the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320] at even [06153] is the LORD'S [03068] passover [06453]. 3 23 6 And on the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the same month [02320] is the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] unto the LORD [03068]: seven [07651] days [03117] ye must eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682]. 3 23 7 In the first [07223] day [03117] ye shall have an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein. 3 23 8 But ye shall offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068] seven [07651] days [03117]: in the seventh [07637] day [03117] is an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein. 3 23 9 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 23 10 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye be come [0935] into the land [0776] which I give [05414] unto you, and shall reap [07114] the harvest [07105] thereof, then ye shall bring [0935] a sheaf [06016] of the firstfruits [07225] of your harvest [07105] unto the priest [03548]: 3 23 11 And he shall wave [05130] the sheaf [06016] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to be accepted [07522] for you: on the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676] the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] it. 3 23 12 And ye shall offer [06213] that day [03117] when ye wave [05130] the sheaf [06016] an he lamb [03532] without blemish [08549] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 13 And the meat offering [04503] thereof shall be two [08147] tenth deals [06241] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381]: and the drink offering [05262] thereof shall be of wine [03196], the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969]. 3 23 14 And ye shall eat [0398] neither bread [03899], nor parched corn [07039], nor green ears [03759], until the selfsame [06106] [02088] day [03117] that [05704] ye have brought [0935] an offering [07133] unto your God [0430]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755] in all your dwellings [04186]. 3 23 15 And ye shall count [05608] unto you from the morrow [04283] after the sabbath [07676], from the day [03117] that ye brought [0935] the sheaf [06016] of the wave offering [08573]; seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] shall be [01961] complete [08549]: 3 23 16 Even unto [05704] the morrow [04283] after the seventh [07637] sabbath [07676] shall ye number [05608] fifty [02572] days [03117]; and ye shall offer [07126] a new [02319] meat offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 17 Ye shall bring out [0935] of your habitations [04186] two [08147] wave [08573] loaves [03899] of two [08147] tenth deals [06241]: they shall be of fine flour [05560]; they shall be baken [0644] with leaven [02557]; they are the firstfruits [01061] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 18 And ye shall offer [07126] with the bread [03899] seven [07651] lambs [03532] without blemish [08549] of the first [01121] year [08141], and one [0259] young [01241] [01121] bullock [06499], and two [08147] rams [0352]: they shall be for a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068], with their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262], even an offering made by fire [0801], of sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 19 Then ye shall sacrifice [06213] one [0259] kid [08163] of the goats [05795] for a sin offering [02403], and two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002]. 3 23 20 And the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] them with the bread [03899] of the firstfruits [01061] for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068], with the two [08147] lambs [03532]: they shall be holy [06944] to the LORD [03068] for the priest [03548]. 3 23 21 And ye shall proclaim [07121] on the selfsame [06106] day [03117], that it may be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] unto you: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] in all your dwellings [04186] throughout your generations [01755]. 3 23 22 And when ye reap [07114] the harvest [07105] of your land [0776], thou shalt not make clean riddance [03615] of the corners [06285] of thy field [07704] when thou reapest [07114], neither shalt thou gather [03950] any gleaning [03951] of thy harvest [07105]: thou shalt leave [05800] them unto the poor [06041], and to the stranger [01616]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 23 23 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 23 24 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], In the seventh [07637] month [02320], in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], shall ye have a sabbath [07677], a memorial [02146] of blowing [08643] of trumpets, an holy [06944] convocation [04744]. 3 23 25 Ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein: but ye shall offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 26 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 23 27 Also [0389] on the tenth [06218] day of this seventh [07637] month [02320] there shall be a day [03117] of atonement [03725]: it shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] unto you; and ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315], and offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 28 And ye shall do [06213] no work [04399] in that same [06106] day [03117]: for it is a day [03117] of atonement [03725], to make an atonement [03722] for you before [06440] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 23 29 For whatsoever soul [05315] it be that shall not be afflicted [06031] in that same [06106] day [03117], he shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971]. 3 23 30 And whatsoever soul [05315] it be that doeth [06213] any work [04399] in that same [06106] day [03117], the same soul [05315] will I destroy [06] from among [07130] his people [05971]. 3 23 31 Ye shall do [06213] no manner of work [04399]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755] in all your dwellings [04186]. 3 23 32 It shall be unto you a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677], and ye shall afflict [06031] your souls [05315]: in the ninth [08672] day of the month [02320] at even [06153], from even [06153] unto even [06153], shall ye celebrate [07673] your sabbath [07676]. 3 23 33 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 23 34 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of this seventh [07637] month [02320] shall be the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521] for seven [07651] days [03117] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 35 On the first [07223] day [03117] shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744]: ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein. 3 23 36 Seven [07651] days [03117] ye shall offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: on the eighth [08066] day [03117] shall be an holy [06944] convocation [04744] unto you; and ye shall offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]: it is a solemn assembly [06116]; and ye shall do [06213] no servile [05656] work [04399] therein. 3 23 37 These are the feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068], which ye shall proclaim [07121] to be holy [06944] convocations [04744], to offer [07126] an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068], a burnt offering [05930], and a meat offering [04503], a sacrifice [02077], and drink offerings [05262], every thing [01697] upon his [03117] day [03117]: 3 23 38 Beside the sabbaths [07676] of the LORD [03068], and beside your gifts [04979], and beside all your vows [05088], and beside all your freewill offerings [05071], which ye give [05414] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 23 39 Also in the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the seventh [07637] month [02320], when ye have gathered [0622] in the fruit [08393] of the land [0776], ye shall keep [02287] a feast [02282] unto the LORD [03068] seven [07651] days [03117]: on the first [07223] day [03117] shall be a sabbath [07677], and on the eighth [08066] day [03117] shall be a sabbath [07677]. 3 23 40 And ye shall take [03947] you on the first [07223] day [03117] the boughs [06529] of goodly [01926] trees [06086], branches [03709] of palm [08558] trees, and the boughs [06057] of thick [05687] trees [06086], and willows [06155] of the brook [05158];

It shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755]: ye shall celebrate [02287] it in the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 3 23 42 Ye shall dwell [03427] in booths [05521] seven [07651] days [03117]; all that are Israelites [03478] born [0249] shall dwell [03427] in booths [05521]: 3 23 43 That your generations [01755] may know [03045] that I made the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to dwell [03427] in booths [05521], when I brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 23 44 And Moses [04872] declared [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] the feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068]. 3 24 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 24 2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they bring [03947] unto thee pure [02134] oil [08081] olive [02132] beaten [03795] for the light [03974], to cause the lamps [05216] to burn [05927] continually [08548]. 3 24 3 Without [02351] the vail [06532] of the testimony [05715], in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], shall Aaron [0175] order [06186] it from the evening [06153] unto the morning [01242] before [06440] the LORD [03068] continually [08548]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755]. 3 24 4 He shall order [06186] the lamps [05216] upon the pure [02889] candlestick [04501] before [06440] the LORD [03068] continually [08548]. 3 24 5 And thou shalt take [03947] fine flour [05560], and bake [0644] twelve [06240] cakes [02471] thereof: two [08147] tenth deals [06241] shall be in one [0259] cake [02471]. 3 24 6 And thou shalt set [07760] them in two [08147] rows [04634], six [08337] on a row [04635], upon the pure [02889] table [07979] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 3 24 7 And thou shalt put [05414] pure [02134] frankincense [03828] upon each row [04635], that it may be on the bread [03899] for a memorial [0234], even an offering made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 24 8 Every sabbath [07676] he shall set it [03117] in order [06186] before [06440] the LORD [03068] continually [08548], being taken from the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285]. 3 24 9 And it shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]'; and they shall eat [0398] it in the holy [06918] place [04725]: for it is most [06944] holy [06944] unto him of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801] by a perpetual [05769] statute [02706]. 3 24 10 And the son [01121] of an Israelitish [03482] woman [0802], whose father [01121] was an Egyptian [0376] [04713], went out [03318] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] [03481]: and this son [01121] of the Israelitish [03482] woman and a man [0376] of Israel [03478] strove together [05327] in the camp [04264]; 3 24 11 And the Israelitish [03482] woman's [0802] son [01121] blasphemed [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD, and cursed [07043]. And they brought [0935] him unto Moses [04872]: (and his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Shelomith [08019], the daughter [01323] of Dibri [01704], of the tribe [04294] of Dan [01835]:) 3 24 12 And they put [03240] him in ward [04929], that the mind [06310] of the LORD [03068] might be shewed [06567] them. 3 24 13 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 24 14 Bring forth [03318] him that hath cursed [07043] without [02351] the camp [04264]; and let all that heard [08085] him lay [05564] their hands [03027] upon his head [07218], and let all the congregation [05712] stone [07275] him. 3 24 15 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Whosoever [0376] curseth [03588] [07043] his God [0430] shall bear [05375] his sin [02399]. 3 24 16 And he that blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191], and all the congregation [05712] shall certainly [07275] stone [07275] him: as well the stranger [01616], as he that is born in the land [0249], when he blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD, shall be put to death [04191]. 3 24 17 And he [0376] that killeth [05221] any [05315] man [0120] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 3 24 18 And he that killeth [05221] a beast [05315] [0929] shall make it good [07999]; beast [05315] for beast [05315]. 3 24 19 And if a man [0376] cause [05414] a blemish [03971] in his neighbour [05997]; as he hath done [06213], so shall it be done [06213] to him; 3 24 20 Breach [07667] for breach [07667], eye [05869] for eye [05869], tooth [08127] for tooth [08127]: as he hath caused [05414] a blemish [03971] in a man [0120], so shall it be done [05414] to him again. 3 24 21 And he that killeth [05221] a beast [0929], he shall restore [07999] it: and he that killeth [05221] a man [0120], he shall be put to death [04191]. 3 24 22 Ye shall have one [0259] manner of law [04941], as well for the stranger [01616], as for one of your own country [0249]: for I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 24 23 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they should bring forth [03318] him that had cursed [07043] out [02351] of the camp [04264], and stone [07275] him with stones [068]. And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 3 25 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514], saying [0559], 3 25 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye come [0935] into the land [0776] which I give [05414] you, then shall the land [0776] keep [07673] a sabbath [07676] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 25 3 Six [08337] years [08141] thou shalt sow [02232] thy field [07704], and six [08337] years [08141] thou shalt prune [02168] thy vineyard [03754], and gather [0622] in the fruit [08393] thereof; 3 25 4 But in the seventh [07637] year [08141] shall be a sabbath [07676] of rest [07677] unto the land [0776], a sabbath [07676] for the LORD [03068]: thou shalt neither sow [02232] thy field [07704], nor prune [02168] thy vineyard [03754]. 3 25 5 That which groweth of its own accord [05599] of thy harvest [07105] thou shalt not reap [07114], neither gather [01219] the grapes [06025] of thy vine undressed [05139]: for it is a year [08141] of rest [07677] unto the land [0776]. 3 25 6 And the sabbath [07676] of the land [0776] shall be meat [0402] for you; for thee, and for thy servant [05650], and for thy maid [0519], and for thy hired servant [07916], and for thy stranger [08453] that sojourneth [01481] with thee, 3 25 7 And for thy cattle [0929], and for the beast [02416] that are in thy land [0776], shall all the increase [08393] thereof be meat [0398]. 3 25 8 And thou shalt number [05608] seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] of years [08141] unto thee, seven [07651] times [06471] seven [07651] years [08141]; and the space [03117] of the seven [07651] sabbaths [07676] of years [08141] shall be unto thee forty [0705] and nine [08672] years [08141]. 3 25 9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet [07782] of the jubile [08643] to sound [05674] on the tenth [06218] day of the seventh [07637] month [02320], in the day [03117] of atonement [03725] shall ye make the trumpet [07782] sound [05674] throughout all your land [0776]. 3 25 10 And ye shall hallow [06942] the fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141], and proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] throughout all the land [0776] unto all the inhabitants [03427] thereof: it shall be a jubile [03104] unto you; and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272], and ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his family [04940]. 3 25 11 A jubile [03104] shall that fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141] be unto you: ye shall not sow [02232], neither reap [07114] that which groweth [05599] of itself in it, nor gather [01219] the grapes in it of thy vine undressed [05139]. 3 25 12 For it is the jubile [03104]; it shall be holy [06944] unto you: ye shall eat [0398] the increase [08393] thereof out of the field [07704]. 3 25 13 In the year [08141] of this jubile [03104] ye shall return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [0272]. 3 25 14 And if thou sell [04376] ought [04465] unto thy neighbour [05997], or buyest [07069] ought of thy neighbour's [05997] hand [03027], ye shall not oppress [03238] one [0376] another [0251]: 3 25 15 According to the number [04557] of years [08141] after [0310] the jubile [03104] thou shalt buy [07069] of thy neighbour [05997], and according unto the number [04557] of years [08141] of the fruits [08393] he shall sell [04376] unto thee: 3 25 16 According [06310] to the multitude [07230] of years [08141] thou shalt increase [07235] the price [04736] thereof, and according [06310] to the fewness [04591] of years [08141] thou shalt diminish [04591] the price [04736] of it: for according to the number [04557] of the years of the fruits [08393] doth he sell [04376] unto thee. 3 25 17 Ye shall not therefore oppress [03238] one [0376] another [05997]; but thou shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430]: for I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 25 18 Wherefore ye shall do [06213] my statutes [02708], and keep [08104] my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them; and ye shall dwell [03427] in the land [0776] in safety [0983]. 3 25 19 And the land [0776] shall yield [05414] her fruit [06529], and ye shall eat [0398] your fill [07648], and dwell [03427] therein in safety [0983]. 3 25 20 And if ye shall say [0559], What shall we eat [0398] the seventh [07637] year [08141]? behold, we shall not sow [02232], nor gather [0622] in our increase [08393]: 3 25 21 Then I will command [06680] my blessing [01293] upon you in the sixth [08345] year [08141], and it shall bring forth [06213] fruit [08393] for three [07969] years [08141]. 3 25 22 And ye shall sow [02232] the eighth [08066] year [08141], and eat [0398] yet of old [03465] fruit [08393] until the ninth [08671] year [08141]; until her fruits [08393] come in [0935] ye shall eat [0398] of the old [03465] store. 3 25 23 The land [0776] shall not be sold [04376] for ever [06783]: for the land [0776] is mine; for ye are strangers [01616] and sojourners [08453] with me. 3 25 24 And in all the land [0776] of your possession [0272] ye shall grant [05414] a redemption [01353] for the land [0776]. 3 25 25 If thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and hath sold [04376] away some of his possession [0272], and if any of his kin [07138] come [0935] to redeem [01350] it, then shall he redeem [01350] that which his brother [0251] sold [04465]. 3 25 26 And if the man [0376] have none to redeem [01350] it, and himself [03027] be able [01767] [05381] to redeem [04672] [01353] it; 3 25 27 Then let him count [02803] the years [08141] of the sale [04465] thereof, and restore [07725] the overplus [05736] unto the man [0376] to whom he sold [04376] it; that he may return [07725] unto his possession [0272]. 3 25 28 But if he [03027] be not able [01767] to restore [04672] [07725] it to him, then that which is sold [04465] shall remain in the hand [03027] of him that hath bought [07069] it until the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: and in the jubile [03104] it shall go out [03318], and he shall return [07725] unto his possession [0272]. 3 25 29 And if a man [0376] sell [04376] a dwelling [04186] house [01004] in a walled [02346] city [05892], then he may redeem [01353] it within a whole [08552] year [08141] after it is sold [04465]; within a full year [03117] may he redeem [01353] it. 3 25 30 And if it be not redeemed [01350] within the space [04390] of a full [08549] year [08141], then the house [01004] that is in the walled [02346] city [05892] shall be established [06965] for ever [06783] to him that bought [07069] it throughout his generations [01755]: it shall not go out [03318] in the jubile [03104]. 3 25 31 But the houses [01004] of the villages [02691] which have no wall [02346] round about [05439] them shall be counted [02803] as the fields [07704] of the country [0776]: they may be redeemed [01353], and they shall go out [03318] in the jubile [03104]. 3 25 32 Notwithstanding the cities [05892] of the Levites [03881], and the houses [01004] of the cities [05892] of their possession [0272], may the Levites [03881] redeem [01353] at any time [05769]. 3 25 33 And if a man purchase [01350] of the Levites [03881], then the house [01004] that was sold [04465], and the city [05892] of his possession [0272], shall go out [03318] in the year of jubile [03104]: for the houses [01004] of the cities [05892] of the Levites [03881] are their possession [0272] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 3 25 34 But the field [07704] of the suburbs [04054] of their cities [05892] may not be sold [04376]; for it is their perpetual [05769] possession [0272]. 3 25 35 And if thy brother [0251] be waxen poor [04134], and fallen in decay [04131] with thee [03027]; then thou shalt relieve [02388] him: yea, though he be a stranger [01616], or a sojourner [08453]; that he may live [02416] with thee. 3 25 36 Take [03947] thou no usury [05392] of him, or increase [08636]: but fear [03372] thy God [0430]; that thy brother [0251] may live [02416] with thee. 3 25 37 Thou shalt not give [05414] him thy money [03701] upon usury [05392], nor lend [05414] him thy victuals [0400] for increase [04768]. 3 25 38 I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to give [05414] you the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and to be your God [0430]. 3 25 39 And if thy brother [0251] that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor [04134], and be sold [04376] unto thee; thou shalt not compel [05647] him to serve [05656] as a bondservant [05650]: 3 25 40 But as an hired servant [07916], and as a sojourner [08453], he shall be with thee, and shall serve [05647] thee unto the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: 3 25 41 And then shall he depart [03318] from thee, both he and his children [01121] with him, and shall return [07725] unto his own family [04940], and unto the possession [0272] of his fathers [01] shall he return [07725]. 3 25 42 For they are my servants [05650], which I brought forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: they shall not be sold [04376] as [04466] bondmen [05650]. 3 25 43 Thou shalt not rule [07287] over him with rigour [06531]; but shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430]. 3 25 44 Both thy bondmen [05650], and thy bondmaids [0519], which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen [01471] that are round about [05439] you; of them shall ye buy [07069] bondmen [05650] and bondmaids [0519]. 3 25 45 Moreover of the children [01121] of the strangers [08453] that do sojourn [01481] among you, of them shall ye buy [07069], and of their families [04940] that are with you, which they begat [03205] in your land [0776]: and they shall be your possession [0272]. 3 25 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance [05157] for your children [01121] after [0310] you, to inherit [03423] them for a possession [0272]; they shall be your bondmen [05647] for ever [05769]: but over your brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], ye shall not rule [07287] one [0376] over another [0251] with rigour [06531]. 3 25 47 And if a sojourner [01616] or stranger [08453] wax rich [05381] by thee [03027], and thy brother [0251] that dwelleth by him wax poor [04134], and sell [04376] himself unto the stranger [01616] or sojourner [08453] by thee, or to the stock [06133] of the stranger's [01616] family [04940]: 3 25 48 After [0310] that he is sold [04376] he may be redeemed again [01353]; one [0259] of his brethren [0251] may redeem [01350] him: 3 25 49 Either his uncle [01730], or his uncle's [01730] son [01121], may redeem [01350] him, or any that is nigh [07607] of kin [01320] unto him of his family [04940] may redeem [01350] him; or if he be able [05381], he may redeem [01350] himself [03027]. 3 25 50 And he shall reckon [02803] with him that bought [07069] him from the year [08141] that he was sold [04376] to him unto the year [08141] of jubile [03104]: and the price [03701] of his sale [04465] shall be according unto the number [04557] of years [08141], according to the time [03117] of an hired servant [07916] shall it be with him. 3 25 51 If there be yet many [07227] years [08141] behind, according [06310] unto them he shall give again [07725] the price of his redemption [01353] out of the money [03701] that he was bought [04736] for. 3 25 52 And if there remain [07604] but few [04592] years [08141] unto the year [08141] of jubile [03104], then he shall count [02803] with him, and according [06310] unto his years [08141] shall he give him again [07725] the price of his redemption [01353]. 3 25 53 And as a yearly [08141] [08141] hired servant [07916] shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule [07287] with rigour [06531] over him in thy sight [05869]. 3 25 54 And if he be not redeemed [01350] in these years, then he shall go out [03318] in the year [08141] of jubile [03104], both he, and his children [01121] with him. 3 25 55 For unto me the children [01121] of Israel [03478] are servants [05650]; they are my servants [05650] whom I brought forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 26 1 Ye shall make [06213] you no idols [0457] nor graven image [06459], neither rear you up [06965] a standing image [04676], neither shall ye set up [05414] any image [04906] of stone [068] in your land [0776], to bow down [07812] unto it: for I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 3 26 2 Ye shall keep [08104] my sabbaths [07676], and reverence [03372] my sanctuary [04720]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 26 3 If ye walk [03212] in my statutes [02708], and keep [08104] my commandments [04687], and do [06213] them; 3 26 4 Then I will give [05414] you rain [01653] in due season [06256], and the land [0776] shall yield [05414] her increase [02981], and the trees [06086] of the field [07704] shall yield [05414] their fruit [06529]. 3 26 5 And your threshing [01786] shall reach [05381] unto the vintage [01210], and the vintage [01210] shall reach [05381] unto the sowing time [02233]: and ye shall eat [0398] your bread [03899] to the full [07648], and dwell [03427] in your land [0776] safely [0983]. 3 26 6 And I will give [05414] peace [07965] in the land [0776], and ye shall lie down [07901], and none shall make you afraid [02729]: and I will rid [07673] evil [07451] beasts [02416] out of the land [0776], neither shall the sword [02719] go [05674] through your land [0776]. 3 26 7 And ye shall chase [07291] your enemies [0341], and they shall fall [05307] before [06440] you by the sword [02719]. 3 26 8 And five [02568] of you shall chase [07291] an hundred [03967], and an hundred [03967] of you shall put ten thousand [07233] to flight [07291]: and your enemies [0341] shall fall [05307] before [06440] you by the sword [02719]. 3 26 9 For I will have respect [06437] unto you, and make you fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] you, and establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with you. 3 26 10 And ye shall eat [0398] old store [03462], and bring forth [03318] the old [03465] because [06440] of the new [02319]. 3 26 11 And I will set [05414] my tabernacle [04908] among [08432] you: and my soul [05315] shall not abhor [01602] you. 3 26 12 And I will walk [01980] among [08432] you, and will be [01961] your God [0430], and ye shall be [01961] my people [05971]. 3 26 13 I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], that ye should not be their bondmen [05650]; and I have broken [07665] the bands [04133] of your yoke [05923], and made you go [03212] upright [06968]. 3 26 14 But if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me, and will not do [06213] all these commandments [04687]; 3 26 15 And if ye shall despise [03988] my statutes [02708], or if your soul [05315] abhor [01602] my judgments [04941], so that ye will not do [06213] all my commandments [04687], but that ye break [06565] my covenant [01285]: 3 26 16 I also will do [06213] this unto you; I will even appoint [06485] over you terror [0928], consumption [07829], and the burning ague [06920], that shall consume [03615] the eyes [05869], and cause sorrow [01727] of heart [05315]: and ye shall sow [02232] your seed [02233] in vain [07385], for your enemies [0341] shall eat [0398] it. 3 26 17 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against you, and ye shall be slain [05062] before [06440] your enemies [0341]: they that hate [08130] you shall reign [07287] over you; and ye shall flee [05127] when none pursueth [07291] you. 3 26 18 And if ye will not yet [05704] for all this hearken [08085] unto me, then I will punish [03256] you seven times [07651] more [03254] for your sins [02403]. 3 26 19 And I will break [07665] the pride [01347] of your power [05797]; and I will make [05414] your heaven [08064] as iron [01270], and your earth [0776] as brass [05154]: 3 26 20 And your strength [03581] shall be spent [08552] in vain [07385]: for your land [0776] shall not yield [05414] her increase [02981], neither shall the trees [06086] of the land [0776] yield [05414] their fruits [06529]. 3 26 21 And if ye walk [03212] contrary [07147] unto me, and will [014] not hearken [08085] unto me; I will bring [03254] seven times [07651] more [03254] plagues [04347] upon you according to your sins [02403]. 3 26 22 I will also send [07971] wild [07704] beasts [02416] among you, which shall rob you of your children [07921], and destroy [03772] your cattle [0929], and make you few in number [04591]; and your high ways [01870] shall be desolate [08074]. 3 26 23 And if ye will not be reformed [03256] by me by these things, but will walk [01980] contrary [07147] unto me; 3 26 24 Then will I also walk [01980] contrary [07147] unto you, and will punish [05221] you yet [01571] seven times [07651] for your sins [02403]. 3 26 25 And I will bring [0935] a sword [02719] upon you, that shall avenge [05358] the quarrel [05359] of my covenant [01285]: and when ye are gathered together [0622] within [0413] your cities [05892], I will send [07971] the pestilence [01698] among [08432] you; and ye shall be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the enemy [0341]. 3 26 26 And when I have broken [07665] the staff [04294] of your bread [03899], ten [06235] women [0802] shall bake [0644] your bread [03899] in one [0259] oven [08574], and they shall deliver [07725] you your bread [03899] again [07725] by weight [04948]: and ye shall eat [0398], and not be satisfied [07646]. 3 26 27 And if ye will not for all this [02063] hearken [08085] unto me, but walk [01980] contrary [07147] unto me; 3 26 28 Then I will walk [01980] contrary [07147] unto you also in fury [02534]; and I, even [0637] I, will chastise [03256] you seven times [07651] for your sins [02403]. 3 26 29 And ye shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of your sons [01121], and the flesh [01320] of your daughters [01323] shall ye eat [0398]. 3 26 30 And I will destroy [08045] your high places [01116], and cut down [03772] your images [02553], and cast [05414] your carcases [06297] upon the carcases [06297] of your idols [01544], and my soul [05315] shall abhor [01602] you. 3 26 31 And I will make [05414] your cities [05892] waste [02723], and bring [08074] your sanctuaries [04720] unto desolation [08074], and I will not smell [07306] the savour [07381] of your sweet odours [05207]. 3 26 32 And I will bring [08074] the land [0776] into desolation [08074]: and your enemies [0341] which dwell [03427] therein shall be astonished [08074] at it. 3 26 33 And I will scatter [02219] you among the heathen [01471], and will draw out [07324] a sword [02719] after [0310] you: and your land [0776] shall be desolate [08077], and your cities [05892] waste [02723]. 3 26 34 Then shall the land [0776] enjoy [07521] her sabbaths [07676], as long [03117] as it lieth desolate [08074], and ye be in your enemies [0341] ' land [0776]; even then shall the land [0776] rest [07673], and enjoy [07521] her sabbaths [07676]. 3 26 35 As long as [03117] it lieth desolate [08074] it shall rest [07673]; because it did not rest [07673] in your sabbaths [07676], when ye dwelt [03427] upon it. 3 26 36 And upon them that are left [07604] alive of you I will send [0935] a faintness [04816] into their hearts [03824] in the lands [0776] of their enemies [0341]; and the sound [06963] of a shaken [05086] leaf [05929] shall chase [07291] them; and they shall flee [05127], as fleeing [04499] from a sword [02719]; and they shall fall [05307] when none pursueth [07291]. 3 26 37 And they shall fall [03782] one [0376] upon another [0251], as it were before [06440] a sword [02719], when none pursueth [07291]: and ye shall have no power to stand [08617] before [06440] your enemies [0341]. 3 26 38 And ye shall perish [06] among the heathen [01471], and the land [0776] of your enemies [0341] shall eat you up [0398]. 3 26 39 And they that are left [07604] of you shall pine away [04743] in their iniquity [05771] in your enemies [0341] ' lands [0776]; and also in the iniquities [05771] of their fathers [01] shall they pine away [04743] with them. 3 26 40 If they shall confess [03034] their iniquity [05771], and the iniquity [05771] of their fathers [01], with their trespass [04604] which they trespassed [04603] against me, and that also they have walked [01980] contrary [07147] unto me; 3 26 41 And that I also have walked [03212] contrary [07147] unto them, and have brought [0935] them into the land [0776] of their enemies [0341]; if then [0176] their uncircumcised [06189] hearts [03824] be humbled [03665], and they then accept [07521] of the punishment of their iniquity [05771]: 3 26 42 Then will I remember [02142] my covenant [01285] with Jacob [03290], and also my covenant [01285] with Isaac [03327], and also my covenant [01285] with Abraham [085] will I remember [02142]; and I will remember [02142] the land [0776]. 3 26 43 The land [0776] also shall be left [05800] of them, and shall enjoy [07521] her sabbaths [07676], while she lieth desolate [08074] without them: and they shall accept [07521] of the punishment of their iniquity [05771]: because [03282], even because [03282] they despised [03988] my judgments [04941], and because their soul [05315] abhorred [01602] my statutes [02708]. 3 26 44 And yet [0637] for all that [02063], when they be [01571] in the land [0776] of their enemies [0341], I will not cast them away [03988], neither will I abhor [01602] them, to destroy them utterly [03615], and to break [06565] my covenant [01285] with them: for I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 3 26 45 But I will for their sakes remember [02142] the covenant [01285] of their ancestors [07223], whom I brought forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] in the sight [05869] of the heathen [01471], that I might be their God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068]. 3 26 46 These are the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] and laws [08451], which the LORD [03068] made [05414] between him and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 3 27 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 3 27 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When a man [0376] shall make a singular [06381] vow [05088], the persons [05315] shall be for the LORD [03068] by thy estimation [06187]. 3 27 3 And thy estimation [06187] shall be of the male [02145] from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] even unto sixty [08346] years [08141] old [01121], even thy estimation [06187] shall be fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944]. 3 27 4 And if it be a female [05347], then thy estimation [06187] shall be thirty [07970] shekels [08255]. 3 27 5 And if it be from five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] even unto twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121], then thy estimation [06187] shall be of the male [02145] twenty [06242] shekels [08255], and for the female [05347] ten [06235] shekels [08255]. 3 27 6 And if it be from a month [02320] old [01121] even unto five [02568] years [08141] old [01121], then thy estimation [06187] shall be of the male [02145] five [02568] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], and for the female [05347] thy estimation [06187] shall be three [07969] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]. 3 27 7 And if it be from sixty [08346] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605]; if it be a male [02145], then thy estimation [06187] shall be fifteen [02568] [06240] shekels [08255], and for the female [05347] ten [06235] shekels [08255]. 3 27 8 But if he be poorer [04134] than thy estimation [06187], then he shall present [05975] himself before [06440] the priest [03548], and the priest [03548] shall value [06186] him; according to [06310] his ability [03027] [05381] that vowed [05087] shall the priest [03548] value [06186] him. 3 27 9 And if it be a beast [0929], whereof men bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], all that any man giveth [05414] of such unto the LORD [03068] shall be holy [06944]. 3 27 10 He shall not alter [02498] it, nor change [04171] it, a good [02896] for a bad [07451], or a bad [07451] for a good [02896]: and if he shall at all [04171] change [04171] beast [0929] for beast [0929], then it and the exchange [08545] thereof shall be holy [06944]. 3 27 11 And if it be any unclean [02931] beast [0929], of which they do not offer [07126] a sacrifice [07133] unto the LORD [03068], then he shall present [05975] the beast [0929] before [06440] the priest [03548]: 3 27 12 And the priest [03548] shall value [06186] it, whether [0996] it be good [02896] or [0996] bad [07451]: as thou valuest [06187] it, who art the priest [03548], so shall it be. 3 27 13 But if he will at all [01350] redeem [01350] it, then he shall add [03254] a fifth [02549] part thereof unto thy estimation [06187]. 3 27 14 And when a man [0376] shall sanctify [06942] his house [01004] to be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068], then the priest [03548] shall estimate [06186] it, whether it be good [02896] or bad [07451]: as the priest [03548] shall estimate [06186] it, so shall it stand [06965]. 3 27 15 And if he that sanctified [06942] it will redeem [01350] his house [01004], then he shall add [03254] the fifth [02549] part of the money [03701] of thy estimation [06187] unto it, and it shall be his. 3 27 16 And if a man [0376] shall sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] some part of a field [07704] of his possession [0272], then thy estimation [06187] shall be according [06310] to the seed [02233] thereof: an homer [02563] of barley [08184] seed [02233] shall be valued at fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]. 3 27 17 If he sanctify [06942] his field [07704] from the year [08141] of jubile [03104], according to thy estimation [06187] it shall stand [06965]. 3 27 18 But if he sanctify [06942] his field [07704] after [0310] the jubile [03104], then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the money [03701] according to [06310] the years [08141] that remain [03498], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104], and it shall be abated [01639] from thy estimation [06187]. 3 27 19 And if he that sanctified [06942] the field [07704] will in any wise [01350] redeem [01350] it, then he shall add [03254] the fifth [02549] part of the money [03701] of thy estimation [06187] unto it, and it shall be assured [06965] to him. 3 27 20 And if he will not redeem [01350] the field [07704], or if he have sold [04376] the field [07704] to another [0312] man [0376], it shall not be redeemed [01350] any more. 3 27 21 But the field [07704], when it goeth out [03318] in the jubile [03104], shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068], as a field [07704] devoted [02764]; the possession [0272] thereof shall be the priest's [03548]. 3 27 22 And if a man sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] a field [07704] which he hath bought [04736], which is not of the fields [07704] of his possession [0272]; 3 27 23 Then the priest [03548] shall reckon [02803] unto him the worth [04373] of thy estimation [06187], even unto the year [08141] of the jubile [03104]: and he shall give [05414] thine estimation [06187] in that day [03117], as a holy thing [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 27 24 In the year [08141] of the jubile [03104] the field [07704] shall return [07725] unto him of whom it was bought [07069], even to him to whom the possession [0272] of the land [0776] did belong. 3 27 25 And all thy estimations [06187] shall be according to the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944]: twenty [06242] gerahs [01626] shall be the shekel [08255]. 3 27 26 Only the firstling [01060] of the beasts [0929], which should be the LORD'S [03068] firstling [01069], no man [0376] shall sanctify [06942] it; whether it be ox [07794], or sheep [07716]: it is the LORD'S [03068]. 3 27 27 And if it be of an unclean [02931] beast [0929], then he shall redeem [06299] it according to thine estimation [06187], and shall add [03254] a fifth [02549] part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed [01350], then it shall be sold [04376] according to thy estimation [06187]. 3 27 28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing [02764], that a man [0376] shall devote [02763] unto the LORD [03068] of all that he hath, both of man [0120] and beast [0929], and of the field [07704] of his possession [0272], shall be sold [04376] or redeemed [01350]: every devoted thing [02764] is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 27 29 None devoted [02764], which shall be [03808] devoted [02763] of men [0120], shall be redeemed [06299]; but shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 3 27 30 And all the tithe [04643] of the land [0776], whether of the seed [02233] of the land [0776], or of the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086], is the LORD'S [03068]: it is holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 27 31 And if a man [0376] will at all [01350] redeem [01350] ought of his tithes [04643], he shall add [03254] thereto the fifth [02549] part thereof. 3 27 32 And concerning the tithe [04643] of the herd [01241], or of the flock [06629], even of whatsoever passeth [05674] under the rod [07626], the tenth [06224] shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 3 27 33 He shall not search [01239] whether it be good [02896] or bad [07451], neither shall he change [04171] it: and if he change [04171] it at all [04171], then both it and the change [08545] thereof shall be holy [06944]; it shall not be redeemed [01350]. 3 27 34 These are the commandments [04687], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514]. 4 1 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514], in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], on the first [0259] day of the second [08145] month [02320], in the second [08145] year [08141] after they were come out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559], 4 1 2 Take [05375] ye the sum [07218] of all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], after their families [04940], by the house [01004] of their fathers [01], with the number [04557] of their names [08034], every male [02145] by their polls [01538];

These things are the burden [04853] of the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 4 16 And to the office [06486] of Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548] pertaineth the oil [08081] for the light [03974], and the sweet [05561] incense [07004], and the daily [08548] meat offering [04503], and the anointing [04888] oil [08081], and the oversight [06486] of all the tabernacle [04908], and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary [06944], and in the vessels [03627] thereof. 4 4 17 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 4 4 18 Cut ye not off [03772] the tribe [07626] of the families [04940] of the Kohathites [06956] from among [08432] the Levites [03881]: 4 4 19 But thus do [06213] unto them, that they may live [02421], and not die [04191], when they approach [05066] unto the most [06944] holy things [06944]: Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall go in [0935], and appoint [07760] them every [0376] one [0376] to his service [05656] and to his burden [04853]: 4 4 20 But they shall not go in [0935] to see [07200] when the holy things [06944] are covered [01104], lest they die [04191]. 4 4 21 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 4 22 Take [05375] also the sum [07218] of the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648], throughout the houses [01004] of their fathers [01], by their families [04940]; 4 4 23 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] until fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121] shalt thou number [06485] them; all that enter in [0935] to perform [06633] the service [06635], to do [05647] the work [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 4 24 This is the service [05656] of the families [04940] of the Gershonites [01649], to serve [05647], and for burdens [04853]: 4 4 25 And they shall bear [05375] the curtains [03407] of the tabernacle [04908], and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], his covering [04372], and the covering [04372] of the badgers [08476]' skins that is above [04605] upon it, and the hanging [04539] for the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], 4 4 26 And the hangings [07050] of the court [02691], and the hanging [04539] for the door [06607] of the gate [08179] of the court [02691], which is by the tabernacle [04908] and by the altar [04196] round about [05439], and their cords [04340], and all the instruments [03627] of their service [05656], and all that is made [06213] for them: so shall they serve [05647]. 4 4 27 At the appointment [06310] of Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] shall be all the service [05656] of the sons [01121] of the Gershonites [01649], in all their burdens [04853], and in all their service [05656]: and ye shall appoint [06485] unto them in charge [04931] all their burdens [04853]. 4 4 28 This is the service [05656] of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Gershon [01649] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and their charge [04931] shall be under the hand [03027] of Ithamar [0385] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548]. 4 4 29 As for the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], thou shalt number [06485] them after their families [04940], by the house [01004] of their fathers [01]; 4 4 30 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] even unto fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121] shalt thou number [06485] them, every one that entereth [0935] into the service [06635], to do [05647] the work [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 4 31 And this is the charge [04931] of their burden [04853], according to all their service [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]; the boards [07175] of the tabernacle [04908], and the bars [01280] thereof, and the pillars [05982] thereof, and sockets [0134] thereof, 4 4 32 And the pillars [05982] of the court [02691] round about [05439], and their sockets [0134], and their pins [03489], and their cords [04340], with all their instruments [03627], and with all their service [05656]: and by name [08034] ye shall reckon [06485] the instruments [03627] of the charge [04931] of their burden [04853]. 4 4 33 This is the service [05656] of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], according to all their service [05656], in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], under the hand [03027] of Ithamar [0385] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548]. 4 4 34 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] and the chief [05387] of the congregation [05712] numbered [06485] the sons [01121] of the Kohathites [06956] after their families [04940], and after the house [01004] of their fathers [01], 4 4 35 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] even unto fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121], every one that entereth [0935] into the service [06635], for the work [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: 4 4 36 And those that were numbered [06485] of them by their families [04940] were two thousand [0505] seven [07651] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572]. 4 4 37 These were they that were numbered [06485] of the families [04940] of the Kohathites [06956], all that might do service [05647] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], which Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did number [06485] according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 4 38 And those that were numbered [06485] of the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648], throughout their families [04940], and by the house [01004] of their fathers [01], 4 4 39 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] even unto fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121], every one that entereth [0935] into the service [06635], for the work [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], 4 4 40 Even those that were numbered [06485] of them, throughout their families [04940], by the house [01004] of their fathers [01], were two thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970]. 4 4 41 These are they that were numbered [06485] of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648], of all that might do service [05647] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], whom Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] did number [06485] according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 4 4 42 And those that were numbered [06485] of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], throughout their families [04940], by the house [01004] of their fathers [01], 4 4 43 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] even unto fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121], every one that entereth [0935] into the service [06635], for the work [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], 4 4 44 Even those that were numbered [06485] of them after their families [04940], were three [07969] thousand [0505] and two hundred [03967]. 4 4 45 These be those that were numbered [06485] of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], whom Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] numbered [06485] according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 4 46 All those that were numbered [06485] of the Levites [03881], whom Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] and the chief [05387] of Israel [03478] numbered [06485], after their families [04940], and after the house [01004] of their fathers [01], 4 4 47 From thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] even unto fifty [02572] years [08141] old [01121], every one that came [0935] to do [05647] the service of the ministry [05656], and the service [05656] of the burden [04853] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], 4 4 48 Even those that were numbered [06485] of them, were eight [08083] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084]. 4 4 49 According to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they were numbered [06485] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872], every [0376] one [0376] according to his service [05656], and according to his burden [04853]: thus were they numbered [06485] of him, as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 5 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 5 2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they put out [07971] of the camp [04264] every leper [06879], and every one that hath an issue [02100], and whosoever is defiled [02931] by the dead [05315]: 4 5 3 Both male [02145] and female [05347] shall ye put out [07971], without [02351] the camp [04264] shall ye put [07971] them; that they defile [02930] not their camps [04264], in the midst [08432] whereof [0834] I dwell [07931]. 4 5 4 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did so [06213], and put them out [07971] without [02351] the camp [04264]: as the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], so did [06213] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 5 5 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 5 6 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], When a man [0376] or woman [0802] shall commit [06213] any sin [02403] that men [0120] commit [04603], to do a trespass [04604] against the LORD [03068], and that person [05315] be guilty [0816]; 4 5 7 Then they shall confess [03034] their sin [02403] which they have done [06213]: and he shall recompense [07725] his trespass [0817] with the principal [07218] thereof, and add [03254] unto it the fifth [02549] part thereof, and give [05414] it unto him against whom he hath trespassed [0816]. 4 5 8 But if the man [0376] have no kinsman [01350] to recompense [07725] the trespass [0817] unto, let the trespass [0817] be recompensed [07725] unto the LORD [03068], even to the priest [03548]; beside the ram [0352] of the atonement [03725], whereby an atonement shall be made [03722] for him. 4 5 9 And every offering [08641] of all the holy things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they bring [07126] unto the priest [03548], shall be his. 4 5 10 And every man's [0376] hallowed things [06944] shall be his: whatsoever any man [0376] giveth [05414] the priest [03548], it shall be his. 4 5 11 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 5 12 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, If any [0376] man's [0376] wife [0802] go aside [07847], and commit [04603] a trespass [04604] against him, 4 5 13 And a man [0376] lie [07901] with her carnally [07902] [02233], and it be hid [05956] from the eyes [05869] of her husband [0376], and be kept close [05641], and she be defiled [02930], and there be no witness [05707] against her, neither she be taken [08610] with the manner; 4 5 14 And the spirit [07307] of jealousy [07068] come [05674] upon him, and he be jealous [07065] of his wife [0802], and she be defiled [02930]: or if the spirit [07307] of jealousy [07068] come [05674] upon him, and he be jealous [07065] of his wife [0802], and she be not defiled [02930]: 4 5 15 Then shall the man [0376] bring [0935] his wife [0802] unto the priest [03548], and he shall bring [0935] her offering [07133] for her, the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of barley [08184] meal [07058]; he shall pour [03332] no oil [08081] upon it, nor put [05414] frankincense [03828] thereon; for it is an offering [04503] of jealousy [07068], an offering [04503] of memorial [02146], bringing [02142] iniquity [05771] to remembrance [02142]. 4 5 16 And the priest [03548] shall bring her near [07126], and set [05975] her before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 4 5 17 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] holy [06918] water [04325] in an earthen [02789] vessel [03627]; and of the dust [06083] that is in the floor [07172] of the tabernacle [04908] the priest [03548] shall take [03947], and put [05414] it into the water [04325]: 4 5 18 And the priest [03548] shall set [05975] the woman [0802] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and uncover [06544] the woman's [0802] head [07218], and put [05414] the offering [04503] of memorial [02146] in her hands [03709], which is the jealousy [07068] offering [04503]: and the priest [03548] shall have in his hand [03027] the bitter [04751] water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779]: 4 5 19 And the priest [03548] shall charge her by an oath [07650], and say [0559] unto the woman [0802], If no man [0376] have lain [07901] with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside [07847] to uncleanness [02932] with another instead of thy husband [0376], be thou free [05352] from this bitter [04751] water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779]: 4 5 20 But if thou hast gone aside [07847] to another instead of thy husband [0376], and if thou be defiled [02930], and some man [0376] have [05414] lain [07903] with thee beside [01107] thine husband [0376]: 4 5 21 Then the priest [03548] shall charge [07650] the woman [0802] with an oath [07621] of cursing [0423], and the priest [03548] shall say [0559] unto the woman [0802], The LORD [03068] make [05414] thee a curse [0423] and an oath [07621] among [08432] thy people [05971], when the LORD [03068] doth make [05414] thy thigh [03409] to rot [05307], and thy belly [0990] to swell [06639]; 4 5 22 And this water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779] shall go [0935] into thy bowels [04578], to make thy belly [0990] to swell [06638], and thy thigh [03409] to rot [05307]: And the woman [0802] shall say [0559], Amen [0543], amen [0543]. 4 5 23 And the priest [03548] shall write [03789] these curses [0423] in a book [05612], and he shall blot [04229] them out with the bitter [04751] water [04325]: 4 5 24 And he shall cause the woman [0802] to drink [08248] the bitter [04751] water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779]: and the water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779] shall enter [0935] into her, and become bitter [04751]. 4 5 25 Then the priest [03548] shall take [03947] the jealousy [07068] offering [04503] out of the woman's [0802] hand [03027], and shall wave [05130] the offering [04503] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and offer [07126] it upon the altar [04196]: 4 5 26 And the priest [03548] shall take an handful [07061] of the offering [04503], even the memorial [0234] thereof, and burn [06999] it upon the altar [04196], and afterward [0310] shall cause the woman [0802] to drink [08248] the water [04325]. 4 5 27 And when he hath made her to drink [08248] the water [04325], then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled [02930], and have done [04603] trespass [04604] against her husband [0376], that the water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779] shall enter [0935] into her, and become bitter [04751], and her belly [0990] shall swell [06638], and her thigh [03409] shall rot [05307]: and the woman [0802] shall be a curse [0423] among [07130] her people [05971]. 4 5 28 And if the woman [0802] be not defiled [02930], but be clean [02889];

instead of such as open [06363] every womb [07358], even instead of the firstborn [01060] of all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], have I taken [03947] them unto me. 4 8 17 For all the firstborn [01060] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] are mine, both man [0120] and beast [0929]: on the day [03117] that I smote [05221] every firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] I sanctified [06942] them for myself. 4 8 18 And I have taken [03947] the Levites [03881] for all the firstborn [01060] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 8 19 And I have given [05414] the Levites [03881] as a gift [05414] to Aaron [0175] and to his sons [01121] from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and to make an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: that there be no plague [05063] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] come nigh [05066] unto the sanctuary [06944]. 4 8 20 And Moses [04872], and Aaron [0175], and all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], did [06213] to the Levites [03881] according unto all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] concerning the Levites [03881], so did [06213] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] unto them. 4 8 21 And the Levites [03881] were purified [02398], and they washed [03526] their clothes [0899]; and Aaron [0175] offered [05130] them as an offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and Aaron [0175] made an atonement [03722] for them to cleanse [02891] them. 4 8 22 And after [0310] that went [0935] the Levites [03881] in to do [05647] their service [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] Aaron [0175], and before [06440] his sons [01121]: as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872] concerning the Levites [03881], so did [06213] they unto them. 4 8 23 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 8 24 This is it that belongeth unto the Levites [03881]: from twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605] they shall go in [0935] to wait [06633] [06635] upon the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: 4 8 25 And from the age [01121] of fifty [02572] years [08141] they shall cease [07725] waiting [06635] upon the service [05656] thereof, and shall serve [05647] no more: 4 8 26 But shall minister [08334] with their brethren [0251] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], to keep [08104] the charge [04931], and shall do [05647] no service [05656]. Thus shalt thou do [06213] unto the Levites [03881] touching their charge [04931]. 4 9 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514], in the first [07223] month [02320] of the second [08145] year [08141] after they were come out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559], 4 9 2 Let the children [01121] of Israel [03478] also keep [06213] the passover [06453] at his appointed season [04150]. 4 9 3 In the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of this month [02320], at even [06153], ye shall keep [06213] it in his appointed season [04150]: according to all the rites [02708] of it, and according to all the ceremonies [04941] thereof, shall ye keep [06213] it. 4 9 4 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they should keep [06213] the passover [06453]. 4 9 5 And they kept [06213] the passover [06453] on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320] at even [06153] in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]: according to all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so did [06213] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 9 6 And there were certain men [0582], who were defiled [02931] by the dead body [05315] of a man [0120], that they could [03201] not keep [06213] the passover [06453] on that day [03117]: and they came [07126] before [06440] Moses [04872] and before [06440] Aaron [0175] on that day [03117]: 4 9 7 And those [01992] men [0582] said [0559] unto him, We are defiled [02931] by the dead body [05315] of a man [0120]: wherefore are we kept back [01639], that we may not offer [07126] an offering [07133] of the LORD [03068] in his appointed season [04150] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]? 4 9 8 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, Stand still [05975], and I will hear [08085] what the LORD [03068] will command [06680] concerning you. 4 9 9 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 9 10 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If any [0376] man [0376] of you or of your posterity [01755] shall be unclean [02931] by reason of a dead body [05315], or be in a journey [01870] afar off [07350], yet he shall keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 9 11 The fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the second [08145] month [02320] at even [06153] they shall keep [06213] it, and eat [0398] it with unleavened bread [04682] and bitter [04844] herbs. 4 9 12 They shall leave [07604] none of it unto the morning [01242], nor break [07665] any bone [06106] of it: according to all the ordinances [02708] of the passover [06453] they shall keep [06213] it. 4 9 13 But the man [0376] that is clean [02889], and is not in a journey [01870], and forbeareth [02308] to keep [06213] the passover [06453], even the same soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971]: because he brought [07126] not the offering [07133] of the LORD [03068] in his appointed season [04150], that man [0376] shall bear [05375] his sin [02399]. 4 9 14 And if a stranger [01616] shall sojourn [01481] among you, and will keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068]; according to the ordinance [02708] of the passover [06453], and according to the manner [04941] thereof, so shall he do [06213]: ye shall have one [0259] ordinance [02708], both for the stranger [01616], and for him that was born [0249] in the land [0776]. 4 9 15 And on the day [03117] that the tabernacle [04908] was reared up [06965] the cloud [06051] covered [03680] the tabernacle [04908], namely, the tent [0168] of the testimony [05715]: and at even [06153] there was upon the tabernacle [04908] as it were the appearance [04758] of fire [0784], until the morning [01242]. 4 9 16 So it was alway [08548]: the cloud [06051] covered [03680] it by day, and the appearance [04758] of fire [0784] by night [03915]. 4 9 17 And when [06310] the cloud [06051] was taken up [05927] from the tabernacle [0168], then after [0310] that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265]: and in the place [04725] where the cloud [06051] abode [07931], there the children [01121] of Israel [03478] pitched their tents [02583]. 4 9 18 At the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265], and at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they pitched [02583]: as long as [03117] the cloud [06051] abode [07931] upon the tabernacle [04908] they rested [02583] in their tents. 4 9 19 And when the cloud [06051] tarried long [0748] upon the tabernacle [04908] many [07227] days [03117], then the children [01121] of Israel [03478] kept [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068], and journeyed [05265] not. 4 9 20 And so it was [03426], when the cloud [06051] was a few [04557] days [03117] upon the tabernacle [04908]; according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they abode [02583] in their tents, and according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they journeyed [05265]. 4 9 21 And so it was [03426], when the cloud [06051] abode from even [06153] unto the morning [01242], and that the cloud [06051] was taken up [05927] in the morning [01242], then they journeyed [05265]: whether it was by day [03119] or by night [03915] that the cloud [06051] was taken up [05927], they journeyed [05265]. 4 9 22 Or whether it were two days [03117], or a month [02320], or a year [03117], that the cloud [06051] tarried [0748] upon the tabernacle [04908], remaining [07931] thereon, the children [01121] of Israel [03478] abode [02583] in their tents, and journeyed [05265] not: but when it was taken up [05927], they journeyed [05265]. 4 9 23 At the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they rested [02583] in the tents, and at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] they journeyed [05265]: they kept [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068], at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 10 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 10 2 Make [06213] thee two [08147] trumpets [02689] of silver [03701]; of a whole piece [04749] shalt thou make [06213] them: that thou mayest use [01961] them for the calling [04744] of the assembly [05712], and for the journeying [04550] of the camps [04264]. 4 10 3 And when they shall blow [08628] with them [02004], all the assembly [05712] shall assemble [03259] themselves to thee at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 10 4 And if they blow [08628] but with one [0259] trumpet, then the princes [05387], which are heads [07218] of the thousands [0505] of Israel [03478], shall gather [03259] themselves unto thee. 4 10 5 When ye blow [08628] an alarm [08643], then the camps [04264] that lie [02583] on the east parts [06924] shall go forward [05265]. 4 10 6 When ye blow [08628] an alarm [08643] the second time [08145], then the camps [04264] that lie [02583] on the south side [08486] shall take their journey [05265]: they shall blow [08628] an alarm [08643] for their journeys [04550]. 4 10 7 But when the congregation [06951] is to be gathered together [06950], ye shall blow [08628], but ye shall not sound an alarm [07321]. 4 10 8 And the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], the priests [03548], shall blow [08628] with the trumpets [02689]; and they shall be to you for an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755]. 4 10 9 And if ye go [0935] to war [04421] in your land [0776] against [06862] the enemy that oppresseth [06887] you, then ye shall blow an alarm [07321] with the trumpets [02689]; and ye shall be remembered [02142] before [06440] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and ye shall be saved [03467] from your enemies [0341]. 4 10 10 Also in the day [03117] of your gladness [08057], and in your solemn days [04150], and in the beginnings [07218] of your months [02320], ye shall blow [08628] with the trumpets [02689] over your burnt offerings [05930], and over the sacrifices [02077] of your peace offerings [08002]; that they may be to you for a memorial [02146] before [06440] your God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 4 10 11 And it came to pass on the twentieth [06242] day of the second [08145] month [02320], in the second [08145] year [08141], that the cloud [06051] was taken up [05927] from off the tabernacle [04908] of the testimony [05715]. 4 10 12 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took [05265] their journeys [04550] out of the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]; and the cloud [06051] rested [07931] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]. 4 10 13 And they first [07223] took their journey [05265] according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 10 14 In the first [07223] place went [05265] the standard [01714] of the camp [04264] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063] according to their armies [06635]: and over his host was Nahshon [05177] the son [01121] of Amminadab [05992]. 4 10 15 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Issachar [03485] was Nethaneel [05417] the son [01121] of Zuar [06686]. 4 10 16 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Zebulun [02074] was Eliab [0446] the son [01121] of Helon [02497]. 4 10 17 And the tabernacle [04908] was taken down [03381]; and the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648] and the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] set forward [05265], bearing [05375] the tabernacle [04908]. 4 10 18 And the standard [01714] of the camp [04264] of Reuben [07205] set forward [05265] according to their armies [06635]: and over his host [06635] was Elizur [0468] the son [01121] of Shedeur [07707]. 4 10 19 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Simeon [08095] was Shelumiel [08017] the son [01121] of Zurishaddai [06701]. 4 10 20 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Gad [01410] was Eliasaph [0460] the son [01121] of Deuel [01845]. 4 10 21 And the Kohathites [06956] set forward [05265], bearing [05375] the sanctuary [04720]: and the other did set up [06965] the tabernacle [04908] against they came [0935]. 4 10 22 And the standard [01714] of the camp [04264] of the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669] set forward [05265] according to their armies [06635]: and over his host [06635] was Elishama [0476] the son [01121] of Ammihud [05989]. 4 10 23 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Manasseh [04519] was Gamaliel [01583] the son [01121] of Pedahzur [06301]. 4 10 24 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] was Abidan [027] the son [01121] of Gideoni [01441]. 4 10 25 And the standard [01714] of the camp [04264] of the children [01121] of Dan [01835] set forward [05265], which was the rereward [0622] of all the camps [04264] throughout their hosts [06635]: and over his host [06635] was Ahiezer [0295] the son [01121] of Ammishaddai [05996]. 4 10 26 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Asher [0836] was Pagiel [06295] the son [01121] of Ocran [05918]. 4 10 27 And over the host [06635] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Naphtali [05321] was Ahira [0299] the son [01121] of Enan [05881]. 4 10 28 Thus were [0428] the journeyings [04550] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] according to their armies [06635], when they set forward [05265]. 4 10 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Hobab [02246], the son [01121] of Raguel [07467] the Midianite [04084], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], We are journeying [05265] unto the place [04725] of which the LORD [03068] said [0559], I will give [05414] it you: come [03212] thou with us, and we will do thee good [02895]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] good [02896] concerning Israel [03478]. 4 10 30 And he said [0559] unto him, I will not go [03212]; but I will depart [03212] to mine own land [0776], and to my kindred [04138]. 4 10 31 And he said [0559], Leave [05800] us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest [03651] [03045] how we are to encamp [02583] in the wilderness [04057], and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes [05869]. 4 10 32 And it shall be, if thou go [03212] with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness [02896] the LORD [03068] shall do [03190] unto us, the same will we do [02895] unto thee. 4 10 33 And they departed [05265] from the mount [02022] of the LORD [03068] three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870]: and the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] went [05265] before [06440] them in the three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870], to search out [08446] a resting place [04496] for them. 4 10 34 And the cloud [06051] of the LORD [03068] was upon them by day [03119], when they went out [05265] of the camp [04264]. 4 10 35 And it came to pass, when the ark [0727] set forward [05265], that Moses [04872] said [0559], Rise up [06965], LORD [03068], and let thine enemies [0341] be scattered [06327]; and let them that hate [08130] thee flee [05127] before [06440] thee. 4 10 36 And when it rested [05117], he said [0559], Return [07725], O LORD [03068], unto the many [07233] thousands [0505] of Israel [03478]. 4 11 1 And when the people [05971] complained [0596], it displeased [07451] [0241] the LORD [03068]: and the LORD [03068] heard [08085] it; and his anger [0639] was kindled [02734]; and the fire [0784] of the LORD [03068] burnt [01197] among them, and consumed [0398] them that were in the uttermost parts [07097] of the camp [04264]. 4 11 2 And the people [05971] cried [06817] unto Moses [04872]; and when Moses [04872] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], the fire [0784] was quenched [08257]. 4 11 3 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of the [01931] place [04725] Taberah [08404]: because the fire [0784] of the LORD [03068] burnt [01197] among them. 4 11 4 And the mixt multitude [0628] that was among [07130] them fell a lusting [0183] [08378]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] also wept [01058] again [07725], and said [0559], Who shall give us flesh [01320] to eat [0398]? 4 11 5 We remember [02142] the fish [01710], which we did eat [0398] in Egypt [04714] freely [02600]; the cucumbers [07180], and the melons [020], and the leeks [02682], and the onions [01211], and the garlick [07762]: 4 11 6 But now our soul [05315] is dried away [03002]: there is nothing at all, beside [01115] this manna [04478], before our eyes [05869]. 4 11 7 And the manna [04478] was as coriander [01407] seed [02233], and the colour [05869] thereof as the colour [05869] of bdellium [0916]. 4 11 8 And the people [05971] went about [07751], and gathered [03950] it, and ground [02912] it in mills [07347], or beat [01743] it in a mortar [04085], and baked [01310] it in pans [06517], and made [06213] cakes [05692] of it: and the taste [02940] of it was as the taste [02940] of fresh [03955] oil [08081]. 4 11 9 And when the dew [02919] fell [03381] upon the camp [04264] in the night [03915], the manna [04478] fell [03381] upon it. 4 11 10 Then Moses [04872] heard [08085] the people [05971] weep [01058] throughout their families [04940], every man [0376] in the door [06607] of his tent [0168]: and the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] greatly [03966]; Moses [04872] also was displeased [07489] [05869]. 4 11 11 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], Wherefore hast thou afflicted [07489] thy servant [05650]? and wherefore have I not found [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869], that thou layest [07760] the burden [04853] of all this people [05971] upon me? 4 11 12 Have I conceived [02029] all this people [05971]? have I begotten [03205] them, that thou shouldest say [0559] unto me, Carry [05375] them in thy bosom [02436], as a nursing father [0539] beareth [05375] the sucking child [03243], unto the land [0127] which thou swarest [07650] unto their fathers [01]? 4 11 13 Whence [0370] should I have flesh [01320] to give [05414] unto all this people [05971]? for they weep [01058] unto me, saying [0559], Give [05414] us flesh [01320], that we may eat [0398]. 4 11 14 I am not able [03201] to bear [05375] all this people [05971] alone [0905], because it is too heavy [03515] for me. 4 11 15 And if thou deal [06213] thus with me, kill [02026] me, I pray thee, out of hand [02026], if I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869]; and let me not see [07200] my wretchedness [07451]. 4 11 16 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Gather [0622] unto me seventy [07657] men [0376] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], whom thou knowest [03045] to be the elders [02205] of the people [05971], and officers [07860] over them; and bring [03947] them unto the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], that they may stand [03320] there with thee. 4 11 17 And I will come down [03381] and talk [01696] with thee there: and I will take [0680] of the spirit [07307] which is upon thee, and will put [07760] it upon them; and they shall bear [05375] the burden [04853] of the people [05971] with thee, that thou bear [05375] it not thyself alone. 4 11 18 And say [0559] thou unto the people [05971], Sanctify [06942] yourselves against to morrow [04279], and ye shall eat [0398] flesh [01320]: for ye have wept [01058] in the ears [0241] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Who shall give us flesh [01320] to eat [0398]? for it was well [02895] with us in Egypt [04714]: therefore the LORD [03068] will give [05414] you flesh [01320], and ye shall eat [0398]. 4 11 19 Ye shall not eat [0398] one [0259] day [03117], nor two days [03117], nor five [02568] days [03117], neither ten [06235] days [03117], nor twenty [06242] days [03117]; 4 11 20 But even a whole month [02320] [03117], until it come out [03318] at your nostrils [0639], and it be loathsome [02214] unto you: because [03282] that ye have despised [03988] the LORD [03068] which is among [07130] you, and have wept [01058] before [06440] him, saying [0559], Why came we forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]? 4 11 21 And Moses [04872] said [0559], The people [05971], among [07130] whom I am, are six [08337] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] footmen [07273]; and thou hast said [0559], I will give [05414] them flesh [01320], that they may eat [0398] a whole [03117] month [02320]. 4 11 22 Shall the flocks [06629] and the herds [01241] be slain [07819] for them, to suffice [04672] them? or shall all the fish [01709] of the sea [03220] be gathered together [0622] for them, to suffice [04672] them? 4 11 23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Is the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027] waxed short [07114]? thou shalt see [07200] now whether my word [01697] shall come to pass [07136] unto thee or not. 4 11 24 And Moses [04872] went out [03318], and told [01696] the people [05971] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and gathered [0622] the seventy [07657] men [0376] of the elders [02205] of the people [05971], and set [05975] them round about [05439] the tabernacle [0168]. 4 11 25 And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] in a cloud [06051], and spake [01696] unto him, and took [0680] of the spirit [07307] that was upon him, and gave [05414] it unto the seventy [07657] elders [02205] [0376]: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit [07307] rested [05117] upon them, they prophesied [05012], and did not cease [03254]. 4 11 26 But there remained [07604] two [08147] of the men [0582] in the camp [04264], the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Eldad [0419], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Medad [04312]: and the spirit [07307] rested [05117] upon them; and they were of them that were written [03789], but went not out [03318] unto the tabernacle [0168]: and they prophesied [05012] in the camp [04264]. 4 11 27 And there ran [07323] a young man [05288], and told [05046] Moses [04872], and said [0559], Eldad [0419] and Medad [04312] do prophesy [05012] in the camp [04264]. 4 11 28 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [08334] of Moses [04872], one of his young men [0979], answered [06030] and said [0559], My lord [0113] Moses [04872], forbid [03607] them. 4 11 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto him, Enviest [07065] thou for my sake? would God that all the [05414] LORD'S [03068] people [05971] were prophets [05030], and that the LORD [03068] would put [05414] his spirit [07307] upon them! 4 11 30 And Moses [04872] gat [0622] him into the camp [04264], he and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]. 4 11 31 And there went forth [05265] a wind [07307] from the LORD [03068], and brought [01468] quails [07958] from the sea [03220], and let them fall [05203] by the camp [04264], as it were a day's [03117] journey [01870] on this side [03541], and as it were a day's [03117] journey [01870] on the other side [03541], round about [05439] the camp [04264], and as it were two cubits [0520] high upon the face [06440] of the earth [0776]. 4 11 32 And the people [05971] stood up [06965] all that day [03117], and all that night [03915], and all the next [04283] day [03117], and they gathered [0622] the quails [07958]: he that gathered least [04591] gathered [0622] ten [06235] homers [02563]: and they spread [07849] them all abroad [07849] for themselves round about [05439] the camp [04264]. 4 11 33 And while the flesh [01320] was yet [02962] between their teeth [08127], ere it was chewed [03772], the wrath [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against the people [05971], and the LORD [03068] smote [05221] the people [05971] with a very [03966] great [07227] plague [04347]. 4 11 34 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Kibrothhattaavah [06914]: because there they buried [06912] the people [05971] that lusted [0183]. 4 11 35 And the people [05971] journeyed [05265] from Kibrothhattaavah [06914] unto Hazeroth [02698]; and abode at Hazeroth [02698]. 4 12 1 And Miriam [04813] and Aaron [0175] spake [01696] against Moses [04872] because of [0182] the Ethiopian [03571] woman [0802] whom he had married [03947]: for he had married [03947] an Ethiopian [03571] woman [0802]. 4 12 2 And they said [0559], Hath the LORD [03068] indeed spoken [01696] only by Moses [04872]? hath he not spoken [01696] also by us? And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] it. 4 12 3 (Now the man [0376] Moses [04872] was very [03966] meek [06035] [06035], above all the men [0120] which were upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127].) 4 12 4 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] suddenly [06597] unto Moses [04872], and unto Aaron [0175], and unto Miriam [04813], Come out [03318] ye three [07969] unto the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. And they three [07969] came out [03318]. 4 12 5 And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] in the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051], and stood [05975] in the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168], and called [07121] Aaron [0175] and Miriam [04813]: and they both [08147] came forth [03318]. 4 12 6 And he said [0559], Hear [08085] now my words [01697]: If there be a prophet [05030] among you, I the LORD [03068] will make myself known [03045] unto him in a vision [04759], and will speak [01696] unto him in a dream [02472]. 4 12 7 My servant [05650] Moses [04872] is not so, who is faithful [0539] in all mine house [01004]. 4 12 8 With him will I speak [01696] mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], even apparently [04758], and not in dark speeches [02420]; and the similitude [08544] of the LORD [03068] shall he behold [05027]: wherefore then were ye not afraid [03372] to speak [01696] against my servant [05650] Moses [04872]? 4 12 9 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against them; and he departed [03212]. 4 12 10 And the cloud [06051] departed [05493] from off the tabernacle [0168]; and, behold, Miriam [04813] became leprous [06879], white as snow [07950]: and Aaron [0175] looked [06437] upon Miriam [04813], and, behold, she was leprous [06879]. 4 12 11 And Aaron [0175] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Alas [0994], my lord [0113], I beseech thee, lay [07896] not the sin [02403] upon us, wherein we have done foolishly [02973], and wherein we have sinned [02398]. 4 12 12 Let her not be as one dead [04994] [04191], of whom the flesh [01320] is half [02677] consumed [0398] when he cometh out [03318] of his mother's [0517] womb [07358]. 4 12 13 And Moses [04872] cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Heal [07495] her now, O God [0410], I beseech thee. 4 12 14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], If her father [01] had but [03417] spit [03417] in her face [06440], should she not be ashamed [03637] seven [07651] days [03117]? let her be shut [05462] out [02351] from the camp [04264] seven [07651] days [03117], and after [0310] that let her be received [0622] in again. 4 12 15 And Miriam [04813] was shut [05462] out [02351] from the camp [04264] seven [07651] days [03117]: and the people [05971] journeyed [05265] not till Miriam [04813] was brought [0622] in again. 4 12 16 And afterward [0310] the people [05971] removed [05265] from Hazeroth [02698], and pitched [02583] in the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]. 4 13 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 13 2 Send [07971] thou men [0582], that they may search [08446] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which I give [05414] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: of every [0376] tribe [04294] of their fathers [01] shall ye send [07971] a man [0259], every one a ruler [05387] among them. 4 13 3 And Moses [04872] by the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] sent [07971] them from the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]: all those men [0582] were [01992] heads [07218] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 13 4 And these were their names [08034]: of the tribe [04294] of Reuben [07205], Shammua [08051] the son [01121] of Zaccur [02139]. 4 13 5 Of the tribe [04294] of Simeon [08095], Shaphat [08202] the son [01121] of Hori [02753]. 4 13 6 Of the tribe [04294] of Judah [03063], Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]. 4 13 7 Of the tribe [04294] of Issachar [03485], Igal [03008] the son [01121] of Joseph [03130]. 4 13 8 Of the tribe [04294] of Ephraim [0669], Oshea [01954] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 4 13 9 Of the tribe [04294] of Benjamin [01144], Palti [06406] the son [01121] of Raphu [07505]. 4 13 10 Of the tribe [04294] of Zebulun [02074], Gaddiel [01427] the son [01121] of Sodi [05476]. 4 13 11 Of the tribe [04294] of Joseph [03130], namely, of the tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519], Gaddi [01426] the son [01121] of Susi [05485]. 4 13 12 Of the tribe [04294] of Dan [01835], Ammiel [05988] the son [01121] of Gemalli [01582]. 4 13 13 Of the tribe [04294] of Asher [0836], Sethur [05639] the son [01121] of Michael [04317]. 4 13 14 Of the tribe [04294] of Naphtali [05321], Nahbi [05147] the son [01121] of Vophsi [02058]. 4 13 15 Of the tribe [04294] of Gad [01410], Geuel [01345] the son [01121] of Machi [04352]. 4 13 16 These are the names [08034] of the men [0582] which Moses [04872] sent [07971] to spy out [08446] the land [0776]. And Moses [04872] called [07121] Oshea [01954] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] Jehoshua [03091]. 4 13 17 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] them to spy out [08446] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and said [0559] unto them, Get you up [05927] this way southward [05045], and go up [05927] into the mountain [02022]: 4 13 18 And see [07200] the land [0776], what it is; and the people [05971] that dwelleth [03427] therein, whether they be strong [02389] or weak [07504], few [04592] or many [07227]; 4 13 19 And what the land [0776] is that they dwell in [03427], whether it be good [02896] or bad [07451]; and what cities [05892] they be that they dwell [03427] in [02007], whether in tents [04264], or in strong holds [04013]; 4 13 20 And what the land [0776] is, whether it be fat [08082] or lean [07330], whether there be [03426] wood [06086] therein, or not. And be ye of good courage [02388], and bring [03947] of the fruit [06529] of the land [0776]. Now the time [03117] was the time [03117] of the firstripe [01061] grapes [06025]. 4 13 21 So they went up [05927], and searched [08446] the land [0776] from the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790] unto Rehob [07340], as men come [0935] to Hamath [02574]. 4 13 22 And they ascended [05927] by the south [05045], and came [0935] unto Hebron [02275]; where Ahiman [0289], Sheshai [08344], and Talmai [08526], the children [03211] of Anak [06061], were. (Now Hebron [02275] was built [01129] seven [07651] years [08141] before [06440] Zoan [06814] in Egypt [04714].) 4 13 23 And they came [0935] unto the brook [05158] of Eshcol [0812], and cut down [03772] from thence a branch [02156] with one [0259] cluster [0811] of grapes [06025], and they bare [05375] it between two [08147] upon a staff [04132]; and they brought of the pomegranates [07416], and of the figs [08384]. 4 13 24 The place [04725] was called [07121] the brook [05158] Eshcol [0812], because of [0182] the cluster of grapes [0811] which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cut down [03772] from thence. 4 13 25 And they returned [07725] from searching [08446] of the land [0776] after [07093] forty [0705] days [03117]. 4 13 26 And they went [03212] and came [0935] to Moses [04872], and to Aaron [0175], and to all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], unto the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290], to Kadesh [06946]; and brought back [07725] word [01697] unto them, and unto all the congregation [05712], and shewed [07200] them the fruit [06529] of the land [0776]. 4 13 27 And they told [05608] him, and said [0559], We came [0935] unto the land [0776] whither thou sentest [07971] us, and surely it floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; and this is the fruit [06529] of it. 4 13 28 Nevertheless [0657] the people [05971] be strong [05794] that dwell [03427] in the land [0776], and the cities [05892] are walled [01219], and very [03966] great [01419]: and moreover we saw [07200] the children [03211] of Anak [06061] there. 4 13 29 The Amalekites [06002] dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of the south [05045]: and the Hittites [02850], and the Jebusites [02983], and the Amorites [0567], dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022]: and the Canaanites [03669] dwell [03427] by the sea [03220], and by the coast [03027] of Jordan [03383]. 4 13 30 And Caleb [03612] stilled [02013] the people [05971] before Moses [04872], and said [0559], Let us go up [05927] at once [05927], and possess [03423] it; for we are well able [03201] to overcome [03201] it. 4 13 31 But the men [0582] that went up [05927] with him said [0559], We be not able [03201] to go up [05927] against the people [05971]; for they are stronger [02389] than we. 4 13 32 And they brought up [03318] an evil report [01681] of the land [0776] which they had searched [08446] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The land [0776], through which we have gone [05674] to search [08446] it, is a land [0776] that eateth up [0398] the inhabitants [03427] thereof; and all the people [05971] that we saw [07200] in it [08432] are men [0582] of a great stature [04060]. 4 13 33 And there we saw [07200] the giants [05303], the sons [01121] of Anak [06061], which come of the giants [05303]: and we were in our own sight [05869] as grasshoppers [02284], and so we were in their sight [05869]. 4 14 1 And all the congregation [05712] lifted up [05375] their voice [06963], and cried [05414]; and the people [05971] wept [01058] that night [03915]. 4 14 2 And all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175]: and the whole congregation [05712] said [0559] unto them, Would God [03863] that we had died [04191] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]! or would God [03863] we had died [04191] in this wilderness [04057]! 4 14 3 And wherefore hath the LORD [03068] brought [0935] us unto this land [0776], to fall [05307] by the sword [02719], that our wives [0802] and our children [02945] should be a prey [0957]? were it not better [02896] for us to return [07725] into Egypt [04714]? 4 14 4 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], Let us make [05414] a captain [07218], and let us return [07725] into Egypt [04714]. 4 14 5 Then Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] fell [05307] on their faces [06440] before [06440] all the assembly [06951] of the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 14 6 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of them that searched [08446] the land [0776], rent [07167] their clothes [0899]: 4 14 7 And they spake [0559] unto all the company [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The land [0776], which we passed [05674] through to search [08446] it, is an exceeding [03966] [03966] good [02896] land [0776]. 4 14 8 If the LORD [03068] delight [02654] in us, then he will bring [0935] us into this land [0776], and give [05414] it us; a land [0776] which floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 4 14 9 Only rebel [04775] not ye against the LORD [03068], neither fear [03372] ye the people [05971] of the land [0776]; for they are bread [03899] for us: their defence [06738] is departed [05493] from them, and the LORD [03068] is with us: fear [03372] them not. 4 14 10 But all the congregation [05712] bade [0559] stone [07275] them with stones [068]. And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before all the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 14 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], How long will this people [05971] provoke [05006] me? and how long will it be ere [03808] they believe [0539] me, for all the signs [0226] which I have shewed [06213] among [07130] them? 4 14 12 I will smite [05221] them with the pestilence [01698], and disinherit [03423] them, and will make [06213] of thee a greater [01419] nation [01471] and mightier [06099] than they. 4 14 13 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], Then the Egyptians [04714] shall hear [08085] it, (for thou broughtest up [05927] this people [05971] in thy might [03581] from among [07130] them;) 4 14 14 And they will tell [0559] it to the inhabitants [03427] of this land [0776]: for they have heard [08085] that thou LORD [03068] art among [07130] this people [05971], that thou LORD [03068] art seen [07200] face [05869] to face [05869], and that thy cloud [06051] standeth [05975] over them, and that thou goest [01980] before [06440] them, by day time [03119] in a pillar [05982] of a cloud [06051], and in a pillar [05982] of fire [0784] by night [03915]. 4 14 15 Now if thou shalt kill [04191] all this people [05971] as one [0259] man [0376], then the nations [01471] which have heard [08085] the fame [08088] of thee will speak [0559], saying [0559], 4 14 16 Because the LORD [03068] was not [01115] able [03201] to bring [0935] this people [05971] into the land [0776] which he sware [07650] unto them, therefore he hath slain [07819] them in the wilderness [04057]. 4 14 17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power [03581] of my Lord [0136] be great [01431], according [0834] as thou hast spoken [01696], saying [0559], 4 14 18 The LORD [03068] is longsuffering [0750] [0639], and of great [07227] mercy [02617], forgiving [05375] iniquity [05771] and transgression [06588], and by no means [05352] clearing [05352] the guilty, visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121] unto the third [08029] and fourth [07256] generation. 4 14 19 Pardon [05545], I beseech thee, the iniquity [05771] of this people [05971] according unto the greatness [01433] of thy mercy [02617], and as thou hast forgiven [05375] this people [05971], from Egypt [04714] even until now [02008]. 4 14 20 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have pardoned [05545] according to thy word [01697]: 4 14 21 But as truly [0199] as I live [02416], all the earth [0776] shall be filled [04390] with the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068]. 4 14 22 Because all those men [0582] which have seen [07200] my glory [03519], and my miracles [0226], which I did [06213] in Egypt [04714] and in the wilderness [04057], and have tempted [05254] [0853] me now these ten [06235] times [06471], and have not hearkened [08085] to my voice [06963]; 4 14 23 Surely they shall not [0518] see [07200] the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01], neither shall any of them that provoked [05006] me see [07200] it: 4 14 24 But my servant [05650] Caleb [03612], because [06118] he had another [0312] spirit [07307] with him, and hath followed [0310] me fully [04390], him will I bring [0935] into the land [0776] whereinto he went [0935]; and his seed [02233] shall possess [03423] it. 4 14 25 (Now the Amalekites [06003] and the Canaanites [03669] dwelt [03427] in the valley [06010].) To morrow [04279] turn [06437] you, and get [05265] you into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 4 14 26 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 4 14 27 How long shall I bear with this evil [07451] congregation [05712], which murmur [03885] against me? I have heard [08085] the murmurings [08519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they murmur [03885] against me. 4 14 28 Say [0559] unto them, As truly as [03808] I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], as ye have spoken [01696] in mine ears [0241], so will I do [06213] to you: 4 14 29 Your carcases [06297] shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057]; and all that were numbered [06485] of you, according to your whole number [04557], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], which have murmured [03885] against me, 4 14 30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 4 14 31 But your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], them will I bring in [0935], and they shall know [03045] the land [0776] which ye have despised [03988]. 4 14 32 But as for you, your carcases [06297], they shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057]. 4 14 33 And your children [01121] shall wander [07462] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], and bear [05375] your whoredoms [02184], until your carcases [06297] be wasted [08552] in the wilderness [04057]. 4 14 34 After the number [04557] of the days [03117] in which ye searched [08446] the land [0776], even forty [0705] days [03117], each day [03117] for a year [08141] [03117] [08141], shall ye bear [05375] your iniquities [05771], even forty [0705] years [08141], and ye shall know [03045] my breach of promise [08569]. 4 14 35 I the LORD [03068] have said [01696], I will surely [0518] [03808] do [06213] it [02063] unto all this evil [07451] congregation [05712], that are gathered together [03259] against me: in this wilderness [04057] they shall be consumed [08552], and there they shall die [04191]. 4 14 36 And the men [0582], which Moses [04872] sent [07971] to search [08446] the land [0776], who returned [07725], and made all the congregation [05712] to murmur [03885] [03885] against him, by bringing up [03318] a slander [01681] upon the land [0776], 4 14 37 Even those [0582] men [0582] that did bring up [03318] the evil [07451] report [01681] upon the land [0776], died [04191] by the plague [04046] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 14 38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of the men [01992] [0582] that went [01980] to search [08446] the land [0776], lived [02421] still. 4 14 39 And Moses [04872] told [01696] these sayings [01697] unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and the people [05971] mourned [056] greatly [03966]. 4 14 40 And they rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and gat them up [05927] into the top [07218] of the mountain [02022], saying [0559], Lo [02009], we be here, and will go up [05927] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] hath promised [0559]: for we have sinned [02398]. 4 14 41 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Wherefore now do ye transgress [05674] the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068]? but it shall not prosper [06743]. 4 14 42 Go not up [05927], for the LORD [03068] is not among [07130] you; that ye be not smitten [05062] before [06440] your enemies [0341]. 4 14 43 For the Amalekites [06003] and the Canaanites [03669] are there before [06440] you, and ye shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]: because ye are turned [07725] away [0310] from the LORD [03068], therefore the LORD [03068] will not be with you. 4 14 44 But they presumed [06075] to go up [05927] unto the hill [02022] top [07218]: nevertheless the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and Moses [04872], departed [04185] not out [07130] of the camp [04264]. 4 14 45 Then the Amalekites [06003] came down [03381], and the Canaanites [03669] which dwelt [03427] in that hill [02022], and smote [05221] them, and discomfited [03807] them, even unto Hormah [02767]. 4 15 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 15 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye be come [0935] into the land [0776] of your habitations [04186], which I give [05414] unto you, 4 15 3 And will make [06213] an offering by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068], a burnt offering [05930], or a sacrifice [02077] in performing [06381] a vow [05088], or in a freewill offering [05071], or in your solemn feasts [04150], to make [06213] a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068], of the herd [01241], or of the flock [06629]: 4 15 4 Then shall he that offereth [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] bring [07126] a meat offering [04503] of a tenth deal [06241] of flour [05560] mingled [01101] with the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969] of oil [08081]. 4 15 5 And the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969] of wine [03196] for a drink offering [05262] shalt thou prepare [06213] with the burnt offering [05930] or sacrifice [02077], for one [0259] lamb [03532]. 4 15 6 Or for a ram [0352], thou shalt prepare [06213] for a meat offering [04503] two [08147] tenth deals [06241] of flour [05560] mingled [01101] with the third [07992] part of an hin [01969] of oil [08081]. 4 15 7 And for a drink offering [05262] thou shalt offer [07126] the third [07992] part of an hin [01969] of wine [03196], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 15 8 And when thou preparest [06213] a bullock [01121] [01241] for a burnt offering [05930], or for a sacrifice [02077] in performing [06381] a vow [05088], or peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068]: 4 15 9 Then shall he bring [07126] with a bullock [01241] [01121] a meat offering [04503] of three [07969] tenth deals [06241] of flour [05560] mingled [01101] with half [02677] an hin [01969] of oil [08081]. 4 15 10 And thou shalt bring [07126] for a drink offering [05262] half [02677] an hin [01969] of wine [03196], for an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 15 11 Thus shall it be done [06213] for one [0259] bullock [07794], or for one [0259] ram [0352], or for a lamb [03532] [07716], or a kid [05795]. 4 15 12 According to the number [04557] that ye shall prepare [06213], so [03602] shall ye do [06213] to every one [0259] according to their number [04557]. 4 15 13 All that are born of the country [0249] shall do [06213] these things after this manner, in offering [07126] an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 15 14 And if a stranger [01616] sojourn [01481] with you, or whosoever be among [08432] you in your generations [01755], and will offer [06213] an offering made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]; as ye do [06213], so he shall do [06213]. 4 15 15 One [0259] ordinance [02708] shall be both for you of the congregation [06951], and also for the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] with you, an ordinance [02708] for ever [05769] in your generations [01755]: as ye are, so shall the stranger [01616] be before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 15 16 One [0259] law [08451] and one [0259] manner [04941] shall be for you, and for the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] with you. 4 15 17 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 15 18 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye come [0935] into the land [0776] whither I bring [0935] you, 4 15 19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat [0398] of the bread [03899] of the land [0776], ye shall offer up [07311] an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 15 20 Ye shall offer up [07311] a cake [02471] of the first [07225] of your dough [06182] for an heave offering [08641]: as ye do the heave offering [08641] of the threshingfloor [01637], so shall ye heave [07311] it. 4 15 21 Of the first [07225] of your dough [06182] ye shall give [05414] unto the LORD [03068] an heave offering [08641] in your generations [01755]. 4 15 22 And if ye have erred [07686], and not observed [06213] all these commandments [04687], which the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] unto Moses [04872], 4 15 23 Even all that the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680] you by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872], from the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses, and henceforward [01973] among your generations [01755]; 4 15 24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed [06213] by ignorance [07684] without the knowledge [05869] of the congregation [05712], that all the congregation [05712] shall offer [06213] one [0259] young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] for a burnt offering [05930], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068], with his meat offering [04503], and his drink offering [05262], according to the manner [04941], and one [0259] kid [08163] of the goats [05795] for a sin offering [02403]. 4 15 25 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and it shall be forgiven [05545] them; for it is ignorance [07684]: and they shall bring [0935] their offering [07133], a sacrifice made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068], and their sin offering [02403] before [06440] the LORD [03068], for their ignorance [07684]: 4 15 26 And it shall be forgiven [05545] all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] them; seeing all the people [05971] were in ignorance [07684]. 4 15 27 And if any [0259] soul [05315] sin [02398] through ignorance [07684], then he shall bring [07126] a she goat [05795] of the first [01323] year [08141] for a sin offering [02403]. 4 15 28 And the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for the soul [05315] that sinneth ignorantly [07683], when he sinneth [02398] by ignorance [07684] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to make an atonement [03722] for him; and it shall be forgiven [05545] him. 4 15 29 Ye shall have one [0259] law [08451] for him that sinneth [06213] through ignorance [07684], both for him that is born [0249] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and for the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] them. 4 15 30 But the soul [05315] that doeth [06213] ought presumptuously [07311] [03027], whether he be born in the land [0249], or a stranger [04480] [01616], the same reproacheth [01442] the LORD [03068]; and that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among [07130] his people [05971]. 4 15 31 Because he hath despised [0959] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and hath broken [06565] his commandment [04687], that soul [05315] shall utterly [03772] be cut off [03772]; his iniquity [05771] shall be upon him. 4 15 32 And while the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were in the wilderness [04057], they found [04672] a man [0376] that gathered [07197] sticks [06086] upon the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. 4 15 33 And they that found [04672] him gathering [07197] sticks [06086] brought [07126] him unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], and unto all the congregation [05712]. 4 15 34 And they put [03240] him in ward [04929], because it was not declared [06567] what should be done [06213] to him. 4 15 35 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], The man [0376] shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]: all the congregation [05712] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068] without [02351] the camp [04264]. 4 15 36 And all the congregation [05712] brought [03318] him without [02351] the camp [04264], and stoned [07275] him with stones [068], and he died [04191]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 15 37 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 15 38 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and bid [0559] them that they make [06213] them fringes [06734] in the borders [03671] of their garments [0899] throughout their generations [01755], and that they put [05414] upon the fringe [06734] of the borders [03671] a ribband [06616] of blue [08504]: 4 15 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe [06734], that ye may look [07200] upon it, and remember [02142] all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], and do [06213] them; and that ye seek [08446] not after [0310] your own heart [03824] and your own eyes [05869], after [0310] which ye use to go a whoring [02181]: 4 15 40 That ye may remember [02142], and do [06213] all my commandments [04687], and be [01961] holy [06918] unto your God [0430]. 4 15 41 I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to be your God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 4 16 1 Now Korah [07141], the son [01121] of Izhar [03324], the son [01121] of Kohath [06955], the son [01121] of Levi [03878], and Dathan [01885] and Abiram [048], the sons [01121] of Eliab [0446], and On [0203], the son [01121] of Peleth [06431], sons [01121] of Reuben [07205], took [03947] men: 4 16 2 And they rose up [06965] before [06440] Moses [04872], with certain [0582] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] princes [05387] of the assembly [05712], famous [07148] in the congregation [04150], men [0582] of renown [08034]: 4 16 3 And they gathered themselves together [06950] against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175], and said [0559] unto them, Ye take too much [07227] upon you, seeing all the congregation [05712] are holy [06918], every one of them, and the LORD [03068] is among [08432] them: wherefore then lift ye up [05375] yourselves above the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]? 4 16 4 And when Moses [04872] heard [08085] it, he fell [05307] upon his face [06440]: 4 16 5 And he spake [01696] unto Korah [07141] and unto all his company [05712], saying [0559], Even to morrow [01242] the LORD [03068] will shew [03045] who are his, and who is holy [06918]; and will cause him to come near [07126] unto him: even him whom he hath chosen [0977] will he cause to come near [07126] unto him. 4 16 6 This do [06213]; Take [03947] you censers [04289], Korah [07141], and all his company [05712]; 4 16 7 And put [05414] fire [0784] therein [02004], and put [07760] incense [07004] in them before [06440] the LORD [03068] to morrow [04279]: and it shall be that the man [0376] whom the LORD [03068] doth choose [0977], he shall be holy [06918]: ye take too much [07227] upon you, ye sons [01121] of Levi [03878]. 4 16 8 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Korah [07141], Hear [08085], I pray you, ye sons [01121] of Levi [03878]: 4 16 9 Seemeth it but a small thing [04592] unto you, that the God [0430] of Israel [03478] hath separated [0914] you from the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], to bring you near [07126] to himself to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068], and to stand [05975] before [06440] the congregation [05712] to minister [08334] unto them? 4 16 10 And he hath brought thee near [07126] to him, and all thy brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] with thee: and seek [01245] ye the priesthood [03550] also? 4 16 11 For which cause [03651] both thou and all thy company [05712] are gathered together [03259] against the LORD [03068]: and what is Aaron [0175], that ye murmur [03885] [03885] against him? 4 16 12 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] to call [07121] Dathan [01885] and Abiram [048], the sons [01121] of Eliab [0446]: which said [0559], We will not come up [05927]: 4 16 13 Is it a small thing [04592] that [03588] thou hast brought us up [05927] out of a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], to kill [04191] us in the wilderness [04057], except thou make [08323] thyself altogether [08323] a prince [08323] over us? 4 16 14 Moreover [0637] thou hast not brought [0935] us into a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], or given [05414] us inheritance [05159] of fields [07704] and vineyards [03754]: wilt thou put out [05365] the eyes [05869] of these men [0582]? we will not come up [05927]. 4 16 15 And Moses [04872] was very [03966] wroth [02734], and said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], Respect [06437] not thou their offering [04503]: I have not taken [05375] one [0259] ass [02543] from them, neither have I hurt [07489] one [0259] of them. 4 16 16 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Korah [07141], Be thou and all thy company [05712] before [06440] the LORD [03068], thou, and they, and Aaron [0175], to morrow [04279]: 4 16 17 And take [03947] every man [0376] his censer [04289], and put [05414] incense [07004] in them, and bring [07126] ye before [06440] the LORD [03068] every man [0376] his censer [04289], two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] censers [04289]; thou also, and Aaron [0175], each [0376] of you his censer [04289]. 4 16 18 And they took [03947] every man [0376] his censer [04289], and put [05414] fire [0784] in them, and laid [07760] incense [07004] thereon, and stood [05975] in the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] with Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175]. 4 16 19 And Korah [07141] gathered [06950] all the congregation [05712] against them unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto all the congregation [05712]. 4 16 20 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 4 16 21 Separate [0914] yourselves from among [08432] this congregation [05712], that I may consume [03615] them in a moment [07281]. 4 16 22 And they fell [05307] upon their faces [06440], and said [0559], O God [0410], the God [0430] of the spirits [07307] of all flesh [01320], shall one [0259] man [0376] sin [02398], and wilt thou be wroth [07107] with all the congregation [05712]? 4 16 23 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 16 24 Speak [01696] unto the congregation [05712], saying [0559], Get you up [05927] from about [05439] the tabernacle [04908] of Korah [07141], Dathan [01885], and Abiram [048]. 4 16 25 And Moses [04872] rose up [06965] and went [03212] unto Dathan [01885] and Abiram [048]; and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] followed [03212] him [0310]. 4 16 26 And he spake [01696] unto the congregation [05712], saying [0559], Depart [05493], I pray you, from the tents [0168] of these wicked [07563] men [0582], and touch [05060] nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed [05595] in all their sins [02403]. 4 16 27 So they gat up [05927] from the tabernacle [04908] of Korah [07141], Dathan [01885], and Abiram [048], on every side [05439]: and Dathan [01885] and Abiram [048] came out [03318], and stood [05324] in the door [06607] of their tents [0168], and their wives [0802], and their sons [01121], and their little children [02945]. 4 16 28 And Moses [04872] said [0559], Hereby ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me to do [06213] all these works [04639]; for I have not done them of mine own mind [03820]. 4 16 29 If these men die [04191] the common death [04194] of all men [0120], or if they be visited [06485] after the visitation [06486] of all men [0120]; then the LORD [03068] hath not sent [07971] me. 4 16 30 But if the LORD [03068] make [01254] a new thing [01278], and the earth [0127] open [06475] her mouth [06310], and swallow them up [01104], with all that appertain unto them, and they go down [03381] quick [02416] into the pit [07585]; then ye shall understand [03045] that these men [0582] have provoked [05006] the LORD [03068]. 4 16 31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all these words [01697], that the ground [0127] clave asunder [01234] that was under them: 4 16 32 And the earth [0776] opened [06605] her mouth [06310], and swallowed them up [01104], and their houses [01004], and all the men [0120] that appertained unto Korah [07141], and all their goods [07399]. 4 16 33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down [03381] alive [02416] into the pit [07585], and the earth [0776] closed [03680] upon them: and they perished [06] from among [08432] the congregation [06951]. 4 16 34 And all Israel [03478] that were round about [05439] them fled [05127] at the cry [06963] of them: for they said [0559], Lest the earth [0776] swallow us up [01104] also. 4 16 35 And there came out [03318] a fire [0784] from the LORD [03068], and consumed [0398] the two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] men [0376] that offered [07126] incense [07004]. 4 16 36 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 16 37 Speak [0559] unto Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], that he take up [07311] the censers [04289] out [0996] of the burning [08316], and scatter [02219] thou the fire [0784] yonder [01973]; for they are hallowed [06942]. 4 16 38 The censers [04289] of these sinners [02400] against their own souls [05315], let them make [06213] them broad [07555] plates [06341] for a covering [06826] of the altar [04196]: for they offered [07126] them before [06440] the LORD [03068], therefore they are hallowed [06942]: and they shall be a sign [0226] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 16 39 And Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] took [03947] the brasen [05178] censers [04289], wherewith they that were burnt [08313] had offered [07126]; and they were made broad [07554] plates for a covering [06826] of the altar [04196]: 4 16 40 To be a memorial [02146] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that [0834] [04616] no stranger [0376] [02114], which is not of the seed [02233] of Aaron [0175], come near [07126] to offer [06999] incense [07004] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; that he be not as Korah [07141], and as his company [05712]: as the LORD [03068] said [01696] to him by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 16 41 But on the morrow [04283] all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175], saying [0559], Ye have killed [04191] the people [05971] of the LORD [03068]. 4 16 42 And it came to pass, when the congregation [05712] was gathered [06950] against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175], that they looked [06437] toward the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and, behold, the cloud [06051] covered [03680] it, and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200]. 4 16 43 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] came [0935] before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 16 44 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 16 45 Get you up [07426] from among [08432] this congregation [05712], that I may consume [03615] them as in a moment [07281]. And they fell [05307] upon their faces [06440]. 4 16 46 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Take [03947] a censer [04289], and put [05414] fire [0784] therein from off [06440] the altar [04196], and put [07760] on incense [07004], and go [03212] quickly [04120] unto the congregation [05712], and make an atonement [03722] for them: for there is wrath [07110] gone out [03318] from the LORD [03068]; the plague [05063] is begun [02490]. 4 16 47 And Aaron [0175] took [03947] as Moses [04872] commanded [01696], and ran [07323] into the midst [08432] of the congregation [06951]; and, behold, the plague [05063] was begun [02490] among the people [05971]: and he put [05414] on incense [07004], and made an atonement [03722] for the people [05971]. 4 16 48 And he stood [05975] between the dead [04191] and the living [02416]; and the plague [04046] was stayed [06113]. 4 16 49 Now they that died [04191] in the plague [04046] were fourteen [0702] [06240] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967], beside them that died [04191] about the matter [01697] of Korah [07141]. 4 16 50 And Aaron [0175] returned [07725] unto Moses [04872] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]: and the plague [04046] was stayed [06113]. 4 17 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 17 2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and take [03947] of every one of them a rod [04294] [04294] according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], of all their princes [05387] according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01] twelve [08147] [06240] rods [04294]: write [03789] thou every man's [0376] name [08034] upon his rod [04294]. 4 17 3 And thou shalt write [03789] Aaron's [0175] name [08034] upon the rod [04294] of Levi [03878]: for one [0259] rod [04294] shall be for the head [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 4 17 4 And thou shalt lay them up [03240] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the testimony [05715], where I will meet [03259] with you. 4 17 5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's [0376] rod [04294], whom I shall choose [0977], shall blossom [06524]: and I will make to cease [07918] from me the murmurings [08519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], whereby they murmur [03885] against you. 4 17 6 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and every one of their princes [05387] gave [05414] him a rod [04294] [04294] apiece, for each prince [05387] [05387] one [0259] [0259], according to their fathers [01]' houses [01004], even twelve [06240] [08147] rods [04294]: and the rod [04294] of Aaron [0175] was among [08432] their rods [04294]. 4 17 7 And Moses [04872] laid up [03240] the rods [04294] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in the tabernacle [0168] of witness [05715]. 4 17 8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow [04283] Moses [04872] went [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of witness [05715]; and, behold, the rod [04294] of Aaron [0175] for the house [01004] of Levi [03878] was budded [06524], and brought forth [03318] buds [06525], and bloomed [06692] blossoms [06731], and yielded [01580] almonds [08247]. 4 17 9 And Moses [04872] brought out [03318] all the rods [04294] from before [06440] the LORD [03068] unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and they looked [07200], and took [03947] every man [0376] his rod [04294]. 4 17 10 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Bring [07725] Aaron's [0175] rod [04294] again [07725] before [06440] the testimony [05715], to be kept [04931] for a token [0226] against the rebels [04805] [01121]; and thou shalt quite take away [03615] their murmurings [08519] from me, that they die [04191] not. 4 17 11 And Moses [04872] did [06213] so: as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him, so did [06213] he. 4 17 12 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], Behold, we die [01478], we perish [06], we all perish [06]. 4 17 13 Whosoever cometh any thing near [07131] unto the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068] shall die [04191]: shall we be consumed [08552] with dying [01478]? 4 18 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou and thy sons [01121] and thy father's [01] house [01004] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the sanctuary [04720]: and thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of your priesthood [03550]. 4 18 2 And thy brethren [0251] also of the tribe [04294] of Levi [03878], the tribe [07626] of thy father [01], bring [07126] thou with thee, that they may be joined [03867] unto thee, and minister [08334] unto thee: but thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall minister before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of witness [05715]. 4 18 3 And they shall keep [08104] thy charge [04931], and the charge [04931] of all the tabernacle [0168]: only they shall not come nigh [07126] the vessels [03627] of the sanctuary [06944] and the altar [04196], that neither they, nor ye also, die [04191]. 4 18 4 And they shall be joined [03867] unto thee, and keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], for all the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168]: and a stranger [02114] shall not come nigh [07126] unto you. 4 18 5 And ye shall keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the sanctuary [06944], and the charge [04931] of the altar [04196]: that there be no wrath [07110] any more upon the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 18 6 And I, behold, I have taken [03947] your brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] from among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: to you they are given [05414] as a gift [04979] for the LORD [03068], to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 18 7 Therefore thou and thy sons [01121] with thee shall keep [08104] your priest's office [03550] for every thing [01697] of the altar [04196], and within [01004] the vail [06532]; and ye shall serve [05647]: I have given [05414] your priest's office [03550] unto you as a service [05656] of gift [04979]: and the stranger [02114] that cometh nigh [07131] shall be put to death [04191]. 4 18 8 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Aaron [0175], Behold, I also have given [05414] thee the charge [04931] of mine heave offerings [08641] of all the hallowed things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; unto thee have I given [05414] them by reason of the anointing [04888], and to thy sons [01121], by an ordinance [02706] for ever [05769]. 4 18 9 This shall be thine of the most [06944] holy things [06944], reserved from the fire [0784]: every oblation [07133] of theirs, every meat offering [04503] of theirs, and every sin offering [02403] of theirs, and every trespass offering [0817] of theirs, which they shall render [07725] unto me, shall be most [06944] holy [06944] for thee and for thy sons [01121]. 4 18 10 In the most [06944] holy [06944] place shalt thou eat [0398] it; every male [02145] shall eat [0398] it: it shall be holy [06944] unto thee. 4 18 11 And this is thine; the heave offering [08641] of their gift [04976], with all the wave offerings [08573] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: I have given [05414] them unto thee, and to thy sons [01121] and to thy daughters [01323] with thee, by a statute [02706] for ever [05769]: every one that is clean [02889] in thy house [01004] shall eat [0398] of it. 4 18 12 All the best [02459] of the oil [03323], and all the best [02459] of the wine [08492], and of the wheat [01715], the firstfruits [07225] of them which they shall offer [05414] unto the LORD [03068], them have I given [05414] thee. 4 18 13 And whatsoever is first ripe [01061] in the land [0776], which they shall bring [0935] unto the LORD [03068], shall be thine; every one that is clean [02889] in thine house [01004] shall eat [0398] of it. 4 18 14 Every thing devoted [02764] in Israel [03478] shall be thine. 4 18 15 Every thing that openeth [06363] the matrix [07358] in all flesh [01320], which they bring [07126] unto the LORD [03068], whether it be of men [0120] or beasts [0929], shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn [01060] of man [0120] shalt thou surely [06299] redeem [06299], and the firstling [01060] of unclean [02931] beasts [0929] shalt thou redeem [06299]. 4 18 16 And those that are to be redeemed [06299] from a month [02320] old [01121] shalt thou redeem [06299], according to thine estimation [06187], for the money [03701] of five [02568] shekels [08255], after the shekel [08255] of the sanctuary [06944], which is twenty [06242] gerahs [01626]. 4 18 17 But the firstling [01060] of a cow [07794], or the firstling [01060] of a sheep [03775], or the firstling [01060] of a goat [05795], thou shalt not redeem [06299]; they are holy [06944]: thou shalt sprinkle [02236] their blood [01818] upon the altar [04196], and shalt burn [06999] their fat [02459] for an offering made by fire [0801], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 18 18 And the flesh [01320] of them shall be thine, as the wave [08573] breast [02373] and as the right [03225] shoulder [07785] are thine. 4 18 19 All the heave offerings [08641] of the holy things [06944], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] offer [07311] unto the LORD [03068], have I given [05414] thee, and thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] with thee, by a statute [02706] for ever [05769]: it is a covenant [01285] of salt [04417] for ever [05769] before [06440] the LORD [03068] unto thee and to thy seed [02233] with thee. 4 18 20 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Aaron [0175], Thou shalt have no inheritance [05157] in their land [0776], neither shalt thou have any part [02506] among [08432] them: I am thy part [02506] and thine inheritance [05159] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 18 21 And, behold, I have given [05414] the children [01121] of Levi [03878] all the tenth [04643] in Israel [03478] for an inheritance [05159], for [02500] their service [05656] which they serve [05647], even the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 18 22 Neither must the children [01121] of Israel [03478] henceforth [05750] come nigh [07126] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest they bear [05375] sin [02399], and die [04191]. 4 18 23 But the Levites [03881] shall do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and they shall bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755], that among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] they have [05157] no inheritance [05159]. 4 18 24 But the tithes [04643] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they offer [07311] as an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068], I have given [05414] to the Levites [03881] to inherit [05159]: therefore I have said [0559] unto them, Among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] they shall have [05157] no inheritance [05159]. 4 18 25 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 18 26 Thus speak [01696] unto the Levites [03881], and say [0559] unto them, When ye take [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] the tithes [04643] which I have given [05414] you from them for your inheritance [05159], then ye shall offer [07311] up an heave offering [08641] of it for the LORD [03068], even a tenth [04643] part of the tithe [04643]. 4 18 27 And this your heave offering [08641] shall be reckoned [02803] unto you, as though it were the corn [01715] of the threshingfloor [01637], and as the fulness [04395] of the winepress [03342]. 4 18 28 Thus ye also shall offer [07311] an heave offering [08641] unto the LORD [03068] of all your tithes [04643], which ye receive [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and ye shall give [05414] thereof the LORD'S [03068] heave offering [08641] to Aaron [0175] the priest [03548]. 4 18 29 Out of all your gifts [04979] ye shall offer [07311] every heave offering [08641] of the LORD [03068], of all the best [02459] thereof, even the hallowed part [04720] thereof out of it. 4 18 30 Therefore thou shalt say [0559] unto them, When ye have heaved [07311] the best [02459] thereof from it, then it shall be counted [02803] unto the Levites [03881] as the increase [08393] of the threshingfloor [01637], and as the increase [08393] of the winepress [03342]. 4 18 31 And ye shall eat [0398] it in every place [04725], ye and your households [01004]: for it is your reward [07939] for [02500] your service [05656] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 18 32 And ye shall bear [05375] no sin [02399] by reason of it, when ye have heaved [07311] from it the best [02459] of it: neither shall ye pollute [02490] the holy things [06944] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], lest ye die [04191]. 4 19 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559], 4 19 2 This is the ordinance [02708] of the law [08451] which the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680], saying [0559], Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they bring [03947] thee a red [0122] heifer [06510] without spot [08549], wherein is no blemish [03971], and upon which never [03808] came [05927] yoke [05923]: 4 19 3 And ye shall give [05414] her unto Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], that he may bring her forth [03318] without [02351] the camp [04264], and one shall slay [07819] her before [06440] his face: 4 19 4 And Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] shall take [03947] of her blood [01818] with his finger [0676], and sprinkle [05137] of her blood [01818] directly [05227] before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] seven [07651] times [06471]: 4 19 5 And one shall burn [08313] the heifer [06510] in his sight [05869]; her skin [05785], and her flesh [01320], and her blood [01818], with her dung [06569], shall he burn [08313]: 4 19 6 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] cedar [0730] wood [06086], and hyssop [0231], and scarlet [08438] [08144], and cast [07993] it into the midst [08432] of the burning [08316] of the heifer [06510]. 4 19 7 Then the priest [03548] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and he shall bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and afterward [0310] he shall come [0935] into the camp [04264], and the priest [03548] shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 4 19 8 And he that burneth [08313] her shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899] in water [04325], and bathe [07364] his flesh [01320] in water [04325], and shall be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]. 4 19 9 And a man [0376] that is clean [02889] shall gather [0622] up the ashes [0665] of the heifer [06510], and lay them up [03240] without [02351] the camp [04264] in a clean [02889] place [04725], and it shall be kept [04931] for the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for a water [04325] of separation [05079]: it is a purification for sin [02403]. 4 19 10 And he that gathereth [0622] the ashes [0665] of the heifer [06510] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and be unclean [02930] until the even [06153]: and it shall be unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and unto the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] among [08432] them, for a statute [02708] for ever [05769]. 4 19 11 He that toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117]. 4 19 12 He shall purify [02398] himself with it on the third [07992] day [03117], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] he shall be clean [02891]: but if he purify [02398] not himself the third [07992] day [03117], then the seventh [07637] day [03117] he shall not be clean [02891]. 4 19 13 Whosoever toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] that is dead [04191], and purifieth [02398] not himself, defileth [02930] the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]; and that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from Israel [03478]: because the water [04325] of separation [05079] was not sprinkled [02236] upon him, he shall be unclean [02931]; his uncleanness [02932] is yet upon him. 4 19 14 This is the law [08451], when a man [0120] dieth [04191] in a tent [0168]: all that come [0935] into the tent [0168], and all that is in the tent [0168], shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117]. 4 19 15 And every open [06605] vessel [03627], which hath no covering [06781] bound [06616] upon it, is unclean [02931]. 4 19 16 And whosoever toucheth [05060] one that is slain [02491] with a sword [02719] in the open [06440] fields [07704], or a dead body [04191], or a bone [06106] of a man [0120], or a grave [06913], shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117]. 4 19 17 And for an unclean [02931] person they shall take [03947] of the ashes [06083] of the burnt heifer [08316] of purification for sin [02403], and running [02416] water [04325] shall be put [05414] thereto in a vessel [03627]: 4 19 18 And a clean [02889] person [0376] shall take [03947] hyssop [0231], and dip [02881] it in the water [04325], and sprinkle [05137] it upon the tent [0168], and upon all the vessels [03627], and upon the persons [05315] that were there, and upon him that touched [05060] a bone [06106], or one slain [02491], or one dead [04191], or a grave [06913]: 4 19 19 And the clean [02889] person shall sprinkle [05137] upon the unclean [02931] on the third [07992] day [03117], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117]: and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] he shall purify [02398] himself, and wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and shall be clean [02891] at even [06153]. 4 19 20 But the man [0376] that shall be unclean [02930], and shall not purify [02398] himself, that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among [08432] the congregation [06951], because he hath defiled [02930] the sanctuary [04720] of the LORD [03068]: the water [04325] of separation [05079] hath not been sprinkled [02236] upon him; he is unclean [02931]. 4 19 21 And it shall be a perpetual [05769] statute [02708] unto them, that he that sprinkleth [05137] the water [04325] of separation [05079] shall wash [03526] his clothes [0899]; and he that toucheth [05060] the water [04325] of separation [05079] shall be unclean [02930] until even [06153]. 4 19 22 And whatsoever the unclean [02931] person toucheth [05060] shall be unclean [02930]; and the soul [05315] that toucheth [05060] it shall be unclean [02930] until even [06153]. 4 20 1 Then came [0935] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], even the whole congregation [05712], into the desert [04057] of Zin [06790] in the first [07223] month [02320]: and the people [05971] abode [03427] in Kadesh [06946]; and Miriam [04813] died [04191] there, and was buried [06912] there. 4 20 2 And there was no water [04325] for the congregation [05712]: and they gathered [06950] themselves together against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175]. 4 20 3 And the people [05971] chode [07378] with Moses [04872], and spake [0559], saying [0559], Would God that [03863] we had died [01478] when our brethren [0251] died [01478] before [06440] the LORD [03068]! 4 20 4 And why have ye brought up [0935] the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068] into this wilderness [04057], that we and our cattle [01165] should die [04191] there? 4 20 5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], to bring [0935] us in unto this evil [07451] place [04725]? it is no place [04725] of seed [02233], or of figs [08384], or of vines [01612], or of pomegranates [07416]; neither is there any water [04325] to drink [08354]. 4 20 6 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] went [0935] from the presence [06440] of the assembly [06951] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and they fell [05307] upon their faces [06440]: and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto them. 4 20 7 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 20 8 Take [03947] the rod [04294], and gather [06950] thou the assembly [05712] together, thou, and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], and speak [01696] ye unto the rock [05553] before their eyes [05869]; and it shall give forth [05414] his water [04325], and thou shalt bring forth [03318] to them water [04325] out of the rock [05553]: so thou shalt give [08248] the congregation [05712] and their beasts [01165] drink [08248]. 4 20 9 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the rod [04294] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], as he commanded [06680] him. 4 20 10 And Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] gathered [06950] the congregation [06951] together before [06440] the rock [05553], and he said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085] now, ye rebels [04784]; must we fetch [03318] you water [04325] out of this rock [05553]? 4 20 11 And Moses [04872] lifted up [07311] his hand [03027], and with his rod [04294] he smote [05221] the rock [05553] twice [06471]: and the water [04325] came out [03318] abundantly [07227], and the congregation [05712] drank [08354], and their beasts [01165] also. 4 20 12 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], Because ye believed [0539] me not, to sanctify [06942] me in the eyes [05869] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], therefore ye shall not bring [0935] this congregation [06951] into the land [0776] which I have given [05414] them. 4 20 13 This is [01992] the water [04325] of Meribah [04809]; because the children [01121] of Israel [03478] strove [07378] with the LORD [03068], and he was sanctified [06942] in them. 4 20 14 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] messengers [04397] from Kadesh [06946] unto the king [04428] of Edom [0123], Thus saith [0559] thy brother [0251] Israel [03478], Thou knowest [03045] all the travail [08513] that hath befallen [04672] us: 4 20 15 How our fathers [01] went down [03381] into Egypt [04714], and we have dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714] a long [07227] time [03117]; and the Egyptians [04714] vexed [07489] us, and our fathers [01]: 4 20 16 And when we cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], he heard [08085] our voice [06963], and sent [07971] an angel [04397], and hath brought us forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]: and, behold, we are in Kadesh [06946], a city [05892] in the uttermost [07097] of thy border [01366]: 4 20 17 Let us pass [05674], I pray thee, through thy country [0776]: we will not pass [05674] through the fields [07704], or through the vineyards [03754], neither will we drink [08354] of the water [04325] of the wells [0875]: we will go [03212] by the king's [04428] high way [01870], we will not turn [05186] to the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040], until we have passed [05674] thy borders [01366]. 4 20 18 And Edom [0123] said [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not pass [05674] by me, lest I come out [03318] against [07125] thee with the sword [02719]. 4 20 19 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, We will go [05927] by the high way [04546]: and if I and my cattle [04735] drink [08354] of thy water [04325], then I will pay [05414] [04377] for it: I will only, without doing any thing [01697] else, go through [05674] on my feet [07272]. 4 20 20 And he said [0559], Thou shalt not go through [05674]. And Edom [0123] came out [03318] against [07125] him with much [03515] people [05971], and with a strong [02389] hand [03027]. 4 20 21 Thus Edom [0123] refused [03985] to give [05414] Israel [03478] passage [05674] through his border [01366]: wherefore Israel [03478] turned away [05186] from him. 4 20 22 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478], even the whole congregation [05712], journeyed [05265] from Kadesh [06946], and came [0935] unto mount [02022] Hor [02023]. 4 20 23 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] in mount [02022] Hor [02023], by the coast [01366] of the land [0776] of Edom [0123], saying [0559], 4 20 24 Aaron [0175] shall be gathered [0622] unto his people [05971]: for he shall not enter [0935] into the land [0776] which I have given [05414] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], because ye rebelled against [04784] my word [06310] at the water [04325] of Meribah [04809]. 4 20 25 Take [03947] Aaron [0175] and Eleazar [0499] his son [01121], and bring them up [05927] unto mount [02022] Hor [02023]: 4 20 26 And strip [06584] Aaron [0175] of his garments [0899], and put [03847] them upon Eleazar [0499] his son [01121]: and Aaron [0175] shall be gathered [0622] unto his people, and shall die [04191] there. 4 20 27 And Moses [04872] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]: and they went up [05927] into mount [02022] Hor [02023] in the sight [05869] of all the congregation [05712]. 4 20 28 And Moses [04872] stripped [06584] Aaron [0175] of his garments [0899], and put [03847] them upon Eleazar [0499] his son [01121]; and Aaron [0175] died [04191] there in the top [07218] of the mount [02022]: and Moses [04872] and Eleazar [0499] came down [03381] from the mount [02022]. 4 20 29 And when all the congregation [05712] saw [07200] that Aaron [0175] was dead [01478], they mourned [01058] for Aaron [0175] thirty [07970] days [03117], even all the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 4 21 1 And when king [04428] Arad [06166] the Canaanite [03669], which dwelt [03427] in the south [05045], heard [08085] tell that Israel [03478] came [0935] by the way [01870] of the spies [0871]; then he fought [03898] against Israel [03478], and took [07617] some of them prisoners [07628]. 4 21 2 And Israel [03478] vowed [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], If thou wilt indeed [05414] deliver [05414] this people [05971] into my hand [03027], then I will utterly destroy [02763] their cities [05892]. 4 21 3 And the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of Israel [03478], and delivered up [05414] the Canaanites [03669]; and they utterly destroyed [02763] them and their cities [05892]: and he called [07121] the name [08034] of the place [04725] Hormah [02767]. 4 21 4 And they journeyed [05265] from mount [02022] Hor [02023] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220], to compass [05437] the land [0776] of Edom [0123]: and the soul [05315] of the people [05971] was much discouraged [07114] because of the way [01870]. 4 21 5 And the people [05971] spake [01696] against God [0430], and against Moses [04872], Wherefore have ye brought us up [05927] out of Egypt [04714] to die [04191] in the wilderness [04057]? for there is no bread [03899], neither is there any water [04325]; and our soul [05315] loatheth [06973] this light [07052] bread [03899]. 4 21 6 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] fiery [08314] serpents [05175] among the people [05971], and they bit [05391] the people [05971]; and much [07227] people [05971] of Israel [03478] died [04191]. 4 21 7 Therefore the people [05971] came [0935] to Moses [04872], and said [0559], We have sinned [02398], for we have spoken [01696] against the LORD [03068], and against thee; pray [06419] unto the LORD [03068], that he take away [05493] the serpents [05175] from us. And Moses [04872] prayed [06419] for the people [05971]. 4 21 8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Make [06213] thee a fiery serpent [08314], and set [07760] it upon a pole [05251]: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten [05391], when he looketh [07200] upon it, shall live [02425]. 4 21 9 And Moses [04872] made [06213] a serpent [05175] of brass [05178], and put [07760] it upon a pole [05251], and it came to pass, that if a serpent [05175] had bitten [05391] any man [0376], when he beheld [05027] the serpent [05175] of brass [05178], he lived [02425]. 4 21 10 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] set forward [05265], and pitched [02583] in Oboth [088]. 4 21 11 And they journeyed [05265] from Oboth [088], and pitched [02583] at Ijeabarim [05863], in the wilderness [04057] which is before [06440] Moab [04124], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121]. 4 21 12 From thence they removed [05265], and pitched [02583] in the valley [05158] of Zared [02218]. 4 21 13 From thence they removed [05265], and pitched [02583] on the other side [05676] of Arnon [0769], which is in the wilderness [04057] that cometh out [03318] of the coasts [01366] of the Amorites [0567]: for Arnon [0769] is the border [01366] of Moab [04124], between Moab [04124] and the Amorites [0567]. 4 21 14 Wherefore it is said [0559] in the book [05612] of the wars [04421] of the LORD [03068], What he did [02052] in the Red sea [05492], and in the brooks [05158] of Arnon [0769], 4 21 15 And at the stream [0793] of the brooks [05158] that goeth down [05186] to the dwelling [03427] of Ar [06144], and lieth [08172] upon the border [01366] of Moab [04124]. 4 21 16 And from thence they went to Beer [0876]: that is the well [0875] whereof the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], Gather [0622] the people [05971] together [0622], and I will give [05414] them water [04325]. 4 21 17 Then Israel [03478] sang [07891] this song [07892], Spring up [05927], O well [0875]; sing [06030] ye unto it: 4 21 18 The princes [08269] digged [02658] the well [0875], the nobles [05081] of the people [05971] digged [03738] it, by the direction of the lawgiver [02710], with their staves [04938]. And from the wilderness [04057] they went to Mattanah [04980]: 4 21 19 And from Mattanah [04980] to Nahaliel [05160]: and from Nahaliel [05160] to Bamoth [01120]: 4 21 20 And from Bamoth [01120] in the valley [01516], that is in the country [07704] of Moab [04124], to the top [07218] of Pisgah [06449], which looketh [08259] toward [06440] Jeshimon [03452]. 4 21 21 And Israel [03478] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], saying [0559], 4 21 22 Let me pass [05674] through thy land [0776]: we will not turn [05186] into the fields [07704], or into the vineyards [03754]; we will not drink [08354] of the waters [04325] of the well [0875]: but we will go along [03212] by the king's [04428] high way [01870], until we be past [05674] thy borders [01366]. 4 21 23 And Sihon [05511] would not suffer [05414] Israel [03478] to pass [05674] through his border [01366]: but Sihon [05511] gathered [0622] all his people [05971] together [0622], and went out [03318] against [07125] Israel [03478] into the wilderness [04057]: and he came [0935] to Jahaz [03096], and fought [03898] against Israel [03478]. 4 21 24 And Israel [03478] smote [05221] him with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and possessed [03423] his land [0776] from Arnon [0769] unto Jabbok [02999], even unto the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]: for the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] was strong [05794]. 4 21 25 And Israel [03478] took [03947] all these cities [05892]: and Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in all the cities [05892] of the Amorites [0567], in Heshbon [02809], and in all the villages [01323] thereof. 4 21 26 For Heshbon [02809] was the city [05892] of Sihon [05511] the king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], who had fought [03898] against the former [07223] king [04428] of Moab [04124], and taken [03947] all his land [0776] out of his hand [03027], even unto Arnon [0769]. 4 21 27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs [04911] say [0559], Come [0935] into Heshbon [02809], let the city [05892] of Sihon [05511] be built [01129] and prepared [03559]: 4 21 28 For there is a fire [0784] gone out [03318] of Heshbon [02809], a flame [03852] from the city [07151] of Sihon [05511]: it hath consumed [0398] Ar [06144] of Moab [04124], and the lords of the high places [01181] of Arnon [0769]. 4 21 29 Woe [0188] to thee, Moab [04124]! thou art undone [06], O people [05971] of Chemosh [03645]: he hath given [05414] his sons [01121] that escaped [06412], and his daughters [01323], into captivity [07622] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567]. 4 21 30 We have shot [03384] at them; Heshbon [02809] is perished [06] even unto Dibon [01769], and we have laid them waste [08074] even unto Nophah [05302], which reacheth unto Medeba [04311]. 4 21 31 Thus Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of the Amorites [0567]. 4 21 32 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] to spy out [07270] Jaazer [03270], and they took [03920] the villages [01323] thereof, and drove out [03423] [03423] the Amorites [0567] that were there. 4 21 33 And they turned [06437] and went up [05927] by the way [01870] of Bashan [01316]: and Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316] went out [03318] against [07125] them, he, and all his people [05971], to the battle [04421] at Edrei [0154]. 4 21 34 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Fear [03372] him not: for I have delivered [05414] him into thy hand [03027], and all his people [05971], and his land [0776]; and thou shalt do [06213] to him as thou didst [06213] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] at Heshbon [02809]. 4 21 35 So they smote [05221] him, and his sons [01121], and all his people [05971], until there was none [01115] left [07604] him alive [08300]: and they possessed [03423] his land [0776]. 4 22 1 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] set forward [05265], and pitched [02583] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] by Jericho [03405]. 4 22 2 And Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834] saw [07200] all that Israel [03478] had done [06213] to the Amorites [0567]. 4 22 3 And Moab [04124] was sore [03966] afraid [01481] of [06440] the people [05971], because they were many [07227]: and Moab [04124] was distressed [06973] because of [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 22 4 And Moab [04124] said [0559] unto the elders [02205] of Midian [04080], Now shall this company [06951] lick up [03897] all that are round about [05439] us, as the ox [07794] licketh up [03897] the grass [03418] of the field [07704]. And Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834] was king [04428] of the Moabites [04124] at that time [06256]. 4 22 5 He sent [07971] messengers [04397] therefore unto Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] to Pethor [06604], which is by the river [05104] of the land [0776] of the children [01121] of his people [05971], to call [07121] him, saying [0559], Behold, there is a people [05971] come out [03318] from Egypt [04714]: behold, they cover [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776], and they abide [03427] over against [04136] me: 4 22 6 Come [03212] now therefore, I pray thee, curse [0779] me this people [05971]; for they are too mighty [06099] for me: peradventure I shall prevail [03201], that we may smite [05221] them, and that I may drive them out [01644] of the land [0776]: for I wot [03045] that he whom thou blessest [01288] is blessed [01288], and he whom thou cursest [0779] is cursed [0779]. 4 22 7 And the elders [02205] of Moab [04124] and the elders [02205] of Midian [04080] departed [03212] with the rewards of divination [07081] in their hand [03027]; and they came [0935] unto Balaam [01109], and spake [01696] unto him the words [01697] of Balak [01111]. 4 22 8 And he said [0559] unto them, Lodge [03885] here this night [03915], and I will bring [07725] you word [01697] again [07725], as the LORD [03068] shall speak [01696] unto me: and the princes [08269] of Moab [04124] abode [03427] with Balaam [01109]. 4 22 9 And God [0430] came [0935] unto Balaam [01109], and said [0559], What men [0582] are these with thee? 4 22 10 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto God [0430], Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834], king [04428] of Moab [04124], hath sent [07971] unto me, saying, 4 22 11 Behold, there is a people [05971] come out [03318] of Egypt [04714], which covereth [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776]: come [03212] now, curse [06895] me them; peradventure I shall be able [03201] to overcome [03898] them, and drive them out [01644]. 4 22 12 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Thou shalt not go [03212] with them; thou shalt not curse [0779] the people [05971]: for they are blessed [01288]. 4 22 13 And Balaam [01109] rose up [06965] in the morning [01242], and said [0559] unto the princes [08269] of Balak [01111], Get [03212] you into your land [0776]: for the LORD [03068] refuseth [03985] to give me leave [05414] to go [01980] with you. 4 22 14 And the princes [08269] of Moab [04124] rose up [06965], and they went [0935] unto Balak [01111], and said [0559], Balaam [01109] refuseth [03985] to come [01980] with us. 4 22 15 And Balak [01111] sent [07971] yet again [03254] princes [08269], more [07227], and more honourable [03513] than they. 4 22 16 And they came [0935] to Balaam [01109], and said [0559] to him, Thus saith [0559] Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834], Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder [04513] thee from coming [01980] unto me: 4 22 17 For I will promote [03513] thee unto very [03966] great [03513] honour [03513], and I will do [06213] whatsoever thou sayest [0559] unto me: come [03212] therefore, I pray thee, curse [06895] me this people [05971]. 4 22 18 And Balaam [01109] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto the servants [05650] of Balak [01111], If Balak [01111] would give [05414] me his house [01004] full [04393] of silver [03701] and gold [02091], I cannot [03201] go beyond [05674] the word [06310] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], to do [06213] less [06996] or more [01419]. 4 22 19 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry [03427] ye also here this night [03915], that I may know [03045] what the LORD [03068] will say [01696] unto me more [03254]. 4 22 20 And God [0430] came [0935] unto Balaam [01109] at night [03915], and said [0559] unto him, If the men [0582] come [0935] to call [07121] thee, rise up [06965], and go [03212] with them; but yet [0389] the word [01697] which I shall say [01696] unto thee, that shalt thou do [06213]. 4 22 21 And Balaam [01109] rose up [06965] in the morning [01242], and saddled [02280] his ass [0860], and went [03212] with the princes [08269] of Moab [04124]. 4 22 22 And God's [0430] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] because he went [01980]: and the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] stood [03320] in the way [01870] for an adversary [07854] against him. Now he was riding [07392] upon his ass [0860], and his two [08147] servants [05288] were with him. 4 22 23 And the ass [0860] saw [07200] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] standing [05324] in the way [01870], and his sword [02719] drawn [08025] in his hand [03027]: and the ass [0860] turned aside [05186] out of the way [01870], and went [03212] into the field [07704]: and Balaam [01109] smote [05221] the ass [0860], to turn [05186] her into the way [01870]. 4 22 24 But the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] stood [05975] in a path [04934] of the vineyards [03754], a wall [01447] being on this side, and a wall [01447] on that side. 4 22 25 And when the ass [0860] saw [07200] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], she thrust [03905] herself unto the wall [07023], and crushed [03905] Balaam's [01109] foot [07272] against the wall [07023]: and he smote [05221] her again [03254]. 4 22 26 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] went [05674] further [03254], and stood [05975] in a narrow [06862] place [04725], where was no way [01870] to turn [05186] either to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040]. 4 22 27 And when the ass [0860] saw [07200] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], she fell down [07257] under Balaam [01109]: and Balaam's [01109] anger [0639] was kindled [02734], and he smote [05221] the ass [0860] with a staff [04731]. 4 22 28 And the LORD [03068] opened [06605] the mouth [06310] of the ass [0860], and she said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], What have I done [06213] unto thee, that thou hast smitten [05221] me these three [07969] times [07272]? 4 22 29 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto the ass [0860], Because thou hast mocked [05953] me: I would [03863] there were [03426] a sword [02719] in mine hand [03027], for now would I kill [02026] thee. 4 22 30 And the ass [0860] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Am not I thine ass [0860], upon which thou hast ridden [07392] ever since I was thine unto this day [03117]? was I ever [05532] wont [05532] to do so [06213] unto thee? And he said [0559], Nay. 4 22 31 Then the LORD [03068] opened [01540] the eyes [05869] of Balaam [01109], and he saw [07200] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] standing [05324] in the way [01870], and his sword [02719] drawn [08025] in his hand [03027]: and he bowed down [06915] his head, and fell flat [07812] on his face [0639]. 4 22 32 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten [05221] thine ass [0860] these three [07969] times [07272]? behold, I went out [03318] to withstand [07854] thee, because thy way [01870] is perverse [03399] before me: 4 22 33 And the ass [0860] saw [07200] me, and turned [05186] from me [06440] these three [07969] times [07272]: unless [0194] she had turned [05186] from me [06440], surely now also I had slain [02026] thee, and saved her alive [02421]. 4 22 34 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], I have sinned [02398]; for I knew [03045] not that thou stoodest [05324] in the way [01870] against [07125] me: now therefore, if it displease thee [07489] [05869], I will get me back again [07725]. 4 22 35 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Go [03212] with the men [0582]: but only [0657] the word [01697] that I shall speak [01696] unto thee, that thou shalt speak [01696]. So Balaam [01109] went [03212] with the princes [08269] of Balak [01111]. 4 22 36 And when Balak [01111] heard [08085] that Balaam [01109] was come [0935], he went out [03318] to meet [07125] him unto a city [05892] of Moab [04124], which is in the border [01366] of Arnon [0769], which is in the utmost [07097] coast [01366]. 4 22 37 And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Did I not earnestly [07971] send [07971] unto thee to call [07121] thee? wherefore camest [01980] thou not unto me? am I not able [03201] indeed [0552] to promote thee to honour [03513]? 4 22 38 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Lo, I am come [0935] unto thee: have I now any power [03201] at all [03201] to say [01696] any thing [03972]? the word [01697] that God [0430] putteth [07760] in my mouth [06310], that shall I speak [01696]. 4 22 39 And Balaam [01109] went [03212] with Balak [01111], and they came [0935] unto Kirjathhuzoth [02351] [07155]. 4 22 40 And Balak [01111] offered [02076] oxen [01241] and sheep [06629], and sent [07971] to Balaam [01109], and to the princes [08269] that were with him. 4 22 41 And it came to pass on the morrow [01242], that Balak [01111] took [03947] Balaam [01109], and brought him up [05927] into the high places [01116] of Baal [01120], that thence he might see [07200] the utmost [07097] part of the people [05971]. 4 23 1 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Build [01129] me here seven [07651] altars [04196], and prepare [03559] me here seven [07651] oxen [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352]. 4 23 2 And Balak [01111] did [06213] as Balaam [01109] had spoken [01696]; and Balak [01111] and Balaam [01109] offered [05927] on every altar [04196] a bullock [06499] and a ram [0352]. 4 23 3 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Stand [03320] by thy burnt offering [05930], and I will go [03212]: peradventure the LORD [03068] will come [07136] to meet [07125] me: and whatsoever [01697] he sheweth [07200] me I will tell [05046] thee. And he went [03212] to an high place [08205]. 4 23 4 And God [0430] met [07136] Balaam [01109]: and he said [0559] unto him, I have prepared [06186] seven [07651] altars [04196], and I have offered [05927] upon every altar [04196] a bullock [06499] and a ram [0352]. 4 23 5 And the LORD [03068] put [07760] a word [01697] in Balaam's [01109] mouth [06310], and said [0559], Return [07725] unto Balak [01111], and thus thou shalt speak [01696]. 4 23 6 And he returned [07725] unto him, and, lo, he stood [05324] by his burnt sacrifice [05930], he, and all the princes [08269] of Moab [04124]. 4 23 7 And he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Balak [01111] the king [04428] of Moab [04124] hath brought [05148] me from Aram [0758], out of the mountains [02042] of the east [06924], saying, Come [03212], curse [0779] me Jacob [03290], and come [03212], defy [02194] Israel [03478]. 4 23 8 How [04100] shall I curse [05344], whom God [0410] hath not cursed [06895]? or how shall I defy [02194], whom the LORD [03068] hath not defied [02194]? 4 23 9 For from the top [07218] of the rocks [06697] I see [07200] him, and from the hills [01389] I behold [07789] him: lo, the people [05971] shall dwell [07931] alone [0910], and shall not be reckoned [02803] among the nations [01471]. 4 23 10 Who can count [04487] the dust [06083] of Jacob [03290], and the number [04557] of the fourth [07255] part of Israel [03478]? Let me die [04191] [05315] the death [04194] of the righteous [03477], and let my last [0319] end be like his! 4 23 11 And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], What hast thou done [06213] unto me? I took [03947] thee to curse [06895] mine enemies [0341], and, behold, thou hast blessed [01288] them altogether [01288]. 4 23 12 And he answered [06030] and said [0559], Must I not take heed [08104] to speak [01696] that which the LORD [03068] hath put [07760] in my mouth [06310]? 4 23 13 And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto him, Come [03212], I pray thee, with me unto another [0312] place [04725], from whence thou mayest see [07200] them: thou shalt see [07200] but [0657] the utmost [07097] part of them, and shalt not see [07200] them all: and curse [06895] me them from thence. 4 23 14 And he brought [03947] him into the field [07704] of Zophim [06839] [06822], to the top [07218] of Pisgah [06449], and built [01129] seven [07651] altars [04196], and offered [05927] a bullock [06499] and a ram [0352] on every altar [04196]. 4 23 15 And he said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Stand [03320] here [03541] by thy burnt offering [05930], while I meet [07136] the LORD yonder [03541]. 4 23 16 And the LORD [03068] met [07136] Balaam [01109], and put [07760] a word [01697] in his mouth [06310], and said [0559], Go again [07725] unto Balak [01111], and say [01696] thus. 4 23 17 And when he came [0935] to him, behold, he stood [05324] by his burnt offering [05930], and the princes [08269] of Moab [04124] with him. And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto him, What hath the LORD [03068] spoken [01696]? 4 23 18 And he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Rise up [06965], Balak [01111], and hear [08085]; hearken [0238] unto me, thou son [01121] of Zippor [06834]: 4 23 19 God [0410] is not a man [0376], that he should lie [03576]; neither the son [01121] of man [0120], that he should repent [05162]: hath he said [0559], and shall he not do [06213] it? or hath he spoken [01696], and shall he not make it good [06965]? 4 23 20 Behold, I have received [03947] commandment to bless [01288]: and he hath blessed [01288]; and I cannot reverse [07725] it. 4 23 21 He hath not beheld [05027] iniquity [0205] in Jacob [03290], neither hath he seen [07200] perverseness [05999] in Israel [03478]: the LORD [03068] his God [0430] is with him, and the shout [08643] of a king [04428] is among them. 4 23 22 God [0410] brought them out [03318] of Egypt [04714]; he hath as it were the strength [08443] of an unicorn [07214]. 4 23 23 Surely there is no enchantment [05173] against Jacob [03290], neither is there any divination [07081] against Israel [03478]: according to this time [06256] it shall be said [0559] of Jacob [03290] and of Israel [03478], What hath God [0410] wrought [06466] ! 4 23 24 Behold, the people [05971] shall rise up [06965] as a great lion [03833], and lift up [05375] himself as a young lion [0738]: he shall not lie down [07901] until he eat [0398] of the prey [02964], and drink [08354] the blood [01818] of the slain [02491]. 4 23 25 And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Neither curse [05344] them at all [06895], nor bless [01288] them at all [01288]. 4 23 26 But Balaam [01109] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Told [01696] not I thee, saying [0559], All that the LORD [03068] speaketh [01696], that I must do [06213]? 4 23 27 And Balak [01111] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], Come [03212], I pray thee, I will bring [03947] thee unto another [0312] place [04725]; peradventure it will please [03474] [05869] God [0430] that thou mayest curse [06895] me them from thence. 4 23 28 And Balak [01111] brought [03947] Balaam [01109] unto the top [07218] of Peor [06465], that looketh [08259] toward [06440] Jeshimon [03452]. 4 23 29 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Build [01129] me here seven [07651] altars [04196], and prepare [03559] me here seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352]. 4 23 30 And Balak [01111] did [06213] as Balaam [01109] had said [0559], and offered [05927] a bullock [06499] and a ram [0352] on every altar [04196]. 4 24 1 And when Balaam [01109] saw [07200] that it pleased [05869] [02895] the LORD [03068] to bless [01288] Israel [03478], he went [01980] not, as at other times [06471], to seek [07125] for enchantments [05173], but he set [07896] his face [06440] toward the wilderness [04057]. 4 24 2 And Balaam [01109] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and he saw [07200] Israel [03478] abiding [07931] in his tents according to their tribes [07626]; and the spirit [07307] of God [0430] came upon him. 4 24 3 And he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] hath said [05002], and the man [01397] whose eyes [05869] are open [08365] hath said [05002]: 4 24 4 He hath said [05002], which heard [08085] the words [0561] of God [0410], which saw [02372] the vision [04236] of the Almighty [07706], falling [05307] into a trance, but having his eyes [05869] open [01540]: 4 24 5 How goodly [02895] are thy tents [0168], O Jacob [03290], and thy tabernacles [04908], O Israel [03478]! 4 24 6 As the valleys [05158] are they spread forth [05186], as gardens [01593] by the river's side [05104], as the trees of lign aloes [0174] which the LORD [03068] hath planted [05193], and as cedar trees [0730] beside the waters [04325]. 4 24 7 He shall pour [05140] the water [04325] out [05140] of his buckets [01805], and his seed [02233] shall be in many [07227] waters [04325], and his king [04428] shall be higher [07311] than Agag [090], and his kingdom [04438] shall be exalted [05375]. 4 24 8 God [0410] brought him forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]; he hath as it were the strength [08443] of an unicorn [07214]: he shall eat up [0398] the nations [01471] his enemies [06862], and shall break [01633] their bones [06106], and pierce [04272] them through with his arrows [02671]. 4 24 9 He couched [03766], he lay down [07901] as a lion [0738], and as a great lion [03833]: who shall stir him up [06965]? Blessed [01288] is he that blesseth [01288] thee, and cursed [0779] is he that curseth [0779] thee. 4 24 10 And Balak's [01111] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Balaam [01109], and he smote [05606] his hands [03709] together [05606]: and Balak [01111] said [0559] unto Balaam [01109], I called [07121] thee to curse [06895] mine enemies [0341], and, behold, thou hast altogether [01288] blessed [01288] them these three [07969] times [06471]. 4 24 11 Therefore now flee [01272] thou to thy place [04725]: I thought [0559] to promote [03513] thee unto great [03513] honour [03513]; but, lo, the LORD [03068] hath kept thee back [04513] from honour [03519]. 4 24 12 And Balaam [01109] said [0559] unto Balak [01111], Spake [01696] I not also to thy messengers [04397] which thou sentest [07971] unto me, saying [0559], 4 24 13 If Balak [01111] would give [05414] me his house [01004] full [04393] of silver [03701] and gold [02091], I cannot [03201] go beyond [05674] the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] either good [02896] or bad [07451] of mine own mind [03820]; but what the LORD [03068] saith [01696], that will I speak [01696]? 4 24 14 And now, behold, I go [01980] unto my people [05971]: come [03212] therefore, and I will advertise [03289] thee what this people [05971] shall do [06213] to thy people [05971] in the latter [0319] days [03117]. 4 24 15 And he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] hath said [05002], and the man [01397] whose eyes [05869] are open [08365] hath said [05002]: 4 24 16 He hath said [05002], which heard [08085] the words [0561] of God [0410], and knew [03045] the knowledge [01847] of the most High [05945], which saw [02372] the vision [04236] of the Almighty [07706], falling [05307] into a trance, but having his eyes [05869] open [01540]: 4 24 17 I shall see [07200] him, but not now: I shall behold [07789] him, but not nigh [07138]: there shall come [01869] a Star [03556] out of Jacob [03290], and a Sceptre [07626] shall rise [06965] out of Israel [03478], and shall smite [04272] the corners [06285] of Moab [04124], and destroy [06979] all the children [01121] of Sheth [08352] [08351]. 4 24 18 And Edom [0123] shall be a possession [03424], Seir [08165] also shall be a possession [03424] for his enemies [0341]; and Israel [03478] shall do [06213] valiantly [02428]. 4 24 19 Out of Jacob [03290] shall come he that shall have dominion [07287], and shall destroy [06] him that remaineth [08300] of the city [05892]. 4 24 20 And when he looked [07200] on Amalek [06002], he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Amalek [06002] was the first [07225] of the nations [01471]; but his latter [0319] end shall be that he perish [08] for ever [05703]. 4 24 21 And he looked [07200] on the Kenites [07017], and took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Strong [0386] is thy dwellingplace [04186], and thou puttest [07760] thy nest [07064] in a rock [05553]. 4 24 22 Nevertheless the Kenite [07014] shall [0518] be wasted [01197], until Asshur [0804] shall carry thee away captive [07617]. 4 24 23 And he took up [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], Alas [0188], who shall live [02421] when God [0410] doeth [07760] this! 4 24 24 And ships [06716] shall come from the coast [03027] of Chittim [03794], and shall afflict [06031] Asshur [0804], and shall afflict [06031] Eber [05677], and he also shall perish [08] for ever [05703]. 4 24 25 And Balaam [01109] rose up [06965], and went [03212] and returned [07725] to his place [04725]: and Balak [01111] also went [01980] his way [01870]. 4 25 1 And Israel [03478] abode [03427] in Shittim [07851], and the people [05971] began [02490] to commit whoredom [02181] with the daughters [01323] of Moab [04124]. 4 25 2 And they called [07121] the people [05971] unto the sacrifices [02077] of their gods [0430]: and the people [05971] did eat [0398], and bowed down [07812] to their gods [0430]. 4 25 3 And Israel [03478] joined [06775] himself unto Baalpeor [01187]: and the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Israel [03478]. 4 25 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] all the heads [07218] of the people [05971], and hang them up [03363] before [05048] the LORD [03068] against the sun [08121], that the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] may be turned away [07725] from Israel [03478]. 4 25 5 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the judges [08199] of Israel [03478], Slay [02026] ye every [0376] one [0376] his men [0582] that were joined [06775] unto Baalpeor [01187]. 4 25 6 And, behold, one [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came [0935] and brought [07126] unto his brethren [0251] a Midianitish woman [04084] in the sight [05869] of Moses [04872], and in the sight [05869] of all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who were weeping [01058] before the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 4 25 7 And when Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], saw [07200] it, he rose up [06965] from among [08432] the congregation [05712], and took [03947] a javelin [07420] in his hand [03027]; 4 25 8 And he went [0935] after [0310] the man [0376] of Israel [03478] into the tent [06898], and thrust [01856] both [08147] of them through, the man [0376] of Israel [03478], and the woman [0802] through [0413] her belly [06897]. So the plague [04046] was stayed [06113] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 25 9 And those that died [04191] in the plague [04046] were twenty [06242] and four [0702] thousand [0505]. 4 25 10 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 25 11 Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], hath turned [07725] my wrath [02534] away [07725] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478], while he was zealous [07065] for my sake [07068] among [08432] them, that I consumed [03615] not the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in my jealousy [07068]. 4 25 12 Wherefore say [0559], Behold, I give [05414] unto him my covenant [01285] of peace [07965]: 4 25 13 And he shall have it, and his seed [02233] after [0310] him, even the covenant [01285] of an everlasting [05769] priesthood [03550]; because [0834] he was zealous [07065] for his God [0430], and made an atonement [03722] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 25 14 Now the name [08034] of the Israelite [0376] that was slain [05221], even that was slain [05221] with the Midianitish woman [04084], was Zimri [02174], the son [01121] of Salu [05543], a prince [05387] of a chief [01] house [01004] among the Simeonites [08099]. 4 25 15 And the name [08034] of the Midianitish [04084] woman [0802] that was slain [05221] was Cozbi [03579], the daughter [01323] of Zur [06698]; he was head [07218] over a people [0523], and of a chief [01] house [01004] in Midian [04080]. 4 25 16 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 25 17 Vex [06887] the Midianites [04084], and smite [05221] them: 4 25 18 For they vex [06887] you with their wiles [05231], wherewith they have beguiled [05230] you in the matter [01697] of Peor [06465], and in the matter [01697] of Cozbi [03579], the daughter [01323] of a prince [05387] of Midian [04080], their sister [0269], which was slain [05221] in the day [03117] of the plague [04046] for Peor's [06465] sake [01697]. 4 26 1 And it came to pass after [0310] the plague [04046], that the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872] and unto Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548], saying [0559], 4 26 2 Take [05375] the sum [07218] of all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], throughout their fathers [01]' house [01004], all that are able to go [03318] to war [06635] in Israel [03478]. 4 26 3 And Moses [04872] and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] spake [01696] with them in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] by Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405], saying [0559], 4 26 4 Take the sum of the people, from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which went forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 4 26 5 Reuben [07205], the eldest [01060] son of Israel [03478]: the children [01121] of Reuben [07205]; Hanoch [02585], of whom cometh the family [04940] of the Hanochites [02599]: of Pallu [06396], the family [04940] of the Palluites [06384]: 4 26 6 Of Hezron [02696], the family [04940] of the Hezronites [02697]: of Carmi [03756], the family [04940] of the Carmites [03757]. 4 26 7 These are the families [04940] of the Reubenites [07206]: and they that were numbered [06485] of them were forty [0705] and three [07969] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970]. 4 26 8 And the sons [01121] of Pallu [06396]; Eliab [0446]. 4 26 9 And the sons [01121] of Eliab [0446]; Nemuel [05241], and Dathan [01885], and Abiram [048].

And there was not left [03498] a man [0376] of them, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 4 27 1 Then came [07126] the daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765], the son [01121] of Hepher [02660], the son [01121] of Gilead [01568], the son [01121] of Machir [04353], the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], of the families [04940] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Joseph [03130]: and these are the names [08034] of his daughters [01323]; Mahlah [04244], Noah [05270], and Hoglah [02295], and Milcah [04435], and Tirzah [08656]. 4 27 2 And they stood [05975] before [06440] Moses [04872], and before [06440] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and before [06440] the princes [05387] and all the congregation [05712], by the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], saying [0559], 4 27 3 Our father [01] died [04191] in the wilderness [04057], and he was not in [08432] the company [05712] of them that gathered themselves together [03259] against the LORD [03068] in the company [05712] of Korah [07141]; but died [04191] in his own sin [02399], and had no sons [01121]. 4 27 4 Why should the name [08034] of our father [01] be done away [01639] from among [08432] his family [04940], because he hath no son [01121]? Give [05414] unto us therefore a possession [0272] among [08432] the brethren [0251] of our father [01]. 4 27 5 And Moses [04872] brought [07126] their cause [04941] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 27 6 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 27 7 The daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765] speak [01696] right [03651]: thou shalt surely [05414] give [05414] them a possession [0272] of an inheritance [05159] among [08432] their father's [01] brethren [0251]; and thou shalt cause the inheritance [05159] of their father [01] to pass [05674] unto them. 4 27 8 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If a man [0376] die [04191], and have no son [01121], then ye shall cause his inheritance [05159] to pass [05674] unto his daughter [01323]. 4 27 9 And if he have no daughter [01323], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his brethren [0251]. 4 27 10 And if he have no brethren [0251], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his father's [01] brethren [0251]. 4 27 11 And if his father [01] have no brethren [0251], then ye shall give [05414] his inheritance [05159] unto his kinsman [07607] that is next [07138] to him of his family [04940], and he shall possess [03423] it: and it shall be unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] a statute [02708] of judgment [04941], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 27 12 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Get thee up [05927] into this mount [02022] Abarim [05682], and see [07200] the land [0776] which I have given [05414] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 27 13 And when thou hast seen [07200] it, thou also shalt be gathered [0622] unto thy people [05971], as Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] was gathered [0622]. 4 27 14 For ye rebelled [04784] against my commandment [06310] in the desert [04057] of Zin [06790], in the strife [04808] of the congregation [05712], to sanctify [06942] me at the water [04325] before their eyes [05869]: that is the water [04325] of Meribah [04809] in Kadesh [06946] in the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790]. 4 27 15 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 4 27 16 Let the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of the spirits [07307] of all flesh [01320], set [06485] a man [0376] over the congregation [05712], 4 27 17 Which may go out [03318] before [06440] them, and which may go in [0935] before [06440] them, and which may lead them out [03318], and which may bring them in [0935]; that the congregation [05712] of the LORD [03068] be not as sheep [06629] which have no shepherd [07462]. 4 27 18 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] thee Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], a man [0376] in whom is the spirit [07307], and lay [05564] thine hand [03027] upon him; 4 27 19 And set [05975] him before [06440] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and before [06440] all the congregation [05712]; and give him a charge [06680] in their sight [05869]. 4 27 20 And thou shalt put [05414] some of thine honour [01935] upon him, that all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] may be obedient [08085]. 4 27 21 And he shall stand [05975] before [06440] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], who shall ask [07592] counsel for him after the judgment [04941] of Urim [0224] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: at his word [06310] shall they go out [03318], and at his word [06310] they shall come in [0935], both he, and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] with him, even all the congregation [05712]. 4 27 22 And Moses [04872] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] him: and he took [03947] Joshua [03091], and set [05975] him before [06440] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and before [06440] all the congregation [05712]: 4 27 23 And he laid [05564] his hands [03027] upon him, and gave him a charge [06680], as the LORD [03068] commanded [01696] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 4 28 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 28 2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, My offering [07133], and my bread [03899] for my sacrifices made by fire [0801], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto me, shall ye observe [08104] to offer [07126] unto me in their due season [04150]. 4 28 3 And thou shalt say [0559] unto them, This is the offering made by fire [0801] which ye shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068]; two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without spot [08549] day by day [03117], for a continual [08548] burnt offering [05930]. 4 28 4 The one [0259] lamb [03532] shalt thou offer [06213] in the morning [01242], and the other [08145] lamb [03532] shalt thou offer [06213] at even [06153]; 4 28 5 And a tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969] of beaten [03795] oil [08081]. 4 28 6 It is a continual [08548] burnt offering [05930], which was ordained [06213] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381], a sacrifice made by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 28 7 And the drink offering [05262] thereof shall be the fourth [07243] part of an hin [01969] for the one [0259] lamb [03532]: in the holy [06944] place shalt thou cause the strong wine [07941] to be poured [05258] unto the LORD [03068] for a drink offering [05262]. 4 28 8 And the other [08145] lamb [03532] shalt thou offer [06213] at even [06153]: as the meat offering [04503] of the morning [01242], and as the drink offering [05262] thereof, thou shalt offer [06213] it, a sacrifice made by fire [0801], of a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068]. 4 28 9 And on the sabbath [07676] day [03117] two [08147] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without spot [08549], and two [08147] tenth [06241] deals of flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and the drink offering [05262] thereof: 4 28 10 This is the burnt offering [05930] of every sabbath [07676], beside the continual [08548] burnt offering [05930], and his drink offering [05262]. 4 28 11 And in the beginnings [07218] of your months [02320] ye shall offer [07126] a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]; two [08147] young [01241] bullocks [06499], and one [0259] ram [0352], seven [07651] lambs [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without spot [08549]; 4 28 12 And three [07969] tenth deals [06241] of flour [05560] for a meat offering [04503], mingled [01101] with oil [08081], for one [0259] bullock [06499]; and two [08147] tenth [06241] deals of flour

And Moses [04872] told [0559] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] according to all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 30 1 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the heads [07218] of the tribes [04294] concerning the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680]. 4 30 2 If a man [0376] vow [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], or swear [07650] an oath [07621] to bind [0631] his soul [05315] with a bond [0632]; he shall not break [02490] his word [01697], he shall do [06213] according to all that proceedeth [03318] out of his mouth [06310]. 4 30 3 If a woman [0802] also vow [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], and bind [0631] herself by a bond [0632], being in her father's [01] house [01004] in her youth [05271]; 4 30 4 And her father [01] hear [08085] her vow [05088], and her bond [0632] wherewith she hath bound [0631] her soul [05315], and her father [01] shall hold his peace [02790] at her: then all her vows [05088] shall stand [06965], and every bond [0632] wherewith she hath bound [0631] her soul [05315] shall stand [06965]. 4 30 5 But if her father [01] disallow [05106] her in the day [03117] that he heareth [08085]; not any of her vows [05088], or of her bonds [0632] wherewith she hath bound [0631] her soul [05315], shall stand [06965]: and the LORD [03068] shall forgive [05545] her, because her father [01] disallowed [05106] her. 4 30 6 And if she had at all an husband [0376], when she vowed [05088], or uttered [04008] ought out of her lips [08193], wherewith she bound [0631] her soul [05315]; 4 30 7 And her husband [0376] heard [08085] it, and held his peace [02790] at her in the day [03117] that he heard [08085] it: then her vows [05088] shall stand [06965], and her bonds [0632] wherewith she bound [0631] her soul [05315] shall stand [06965]. 4 30 8 But if her husband [0376] disallowed [05106] her on the day [03117] that he heard [08085] it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed [05088], and that which she uttered [04008] with her lips [08193], wherewith she bound [0631] her soul [05315], of none effect [06565]: and the LORD [03068] shall forgive [05545] her. 4 30 9 But every vow [05088] of a widow [0490], and of her that is divorced [01644], wherewith they have bound [0631] their souls [05315], shall stand [06965] against her. 4 30 10 And if she vowed [05087] in her husband's [0376] house [01004], or bound [0631] her soul [05315] by a bond [0632] with an oath [07621]; 4 30 11 And her husband [0376] heard [08085] it, and held his peace [02790] at her, and disallowed [05106] her not: then all her vows [05088] shall stand [06965], and every bond [0632] wherewith she bound [0631] her soul [05315] shall stand [06965]. 4 30 12 But if her husband [0376] hath utterly [06565] made them void [06565] on the day [03117] he heard [08085] them; then whatsoever proceeded [04161] out of her lips [08193] concerning her vows [05088], or concerning the bond [0632] of her soul [05315], shall not stand [06965]: her husband [0376] hath made them void [06565]; and the LORD [03068] shall forgive [05545] her. 4 30 13 Every vow [05088], and every binding [0632] oath [07621] to afflict [06031] the soul [05315], her husband [0376] may establish [06965] it, or her husband [0376] may make it void [06565]. 4 30 14 But if her husband [0376] altogether [02790] hold his peace [02790] at her from day [03117] to day [03117]; then he establisheth [06965] all her vows [05088], or all her bonds [0632], which are upon her: he confirmeth [06965] them, because he held his peace [02790] at her in the day [03117] that he heard [08085] them. 4 30 15 But if he shall any ways [06565] make them void [06565] after [0310] that he hath heard [08085] them; then he shall bear [05375] her iniquity [05771]. 4 30 16 These are the statutes [02706], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], between a man [0376] and his wife [0802], between the father [01] and his daughter [01323], being yet in her youth [05271] in her father's [01] house [01004]. 4 31 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 31 2 Avenge [05358] [05360] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] of the Midianites [04084]: afterward [0310] shalt thou be gathered [0622] unto thy people [05971]. 4 31 3 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the people [05971], saying [0559], Arm [02502] some [0582] of yourselves unto the war [06635], and let them go against the Midianites [04080], and avenge [05414] [05360] the LORD [03068] of Midian [04080]. 4 31 4 Of every tribe [04294] [04294] a thousand [0505] [0505], throughout all the tribes [04294] of Israel [03478], shall ye send [07971] to the war [06635]. 4 31 5 So there were delivered [04560] out of the thousands [0505] of Israel [03478], a thousand [0505] of every tribe [04294], twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] armed [02502] for war [06635]. 4 31 6 And Moses [04872] sent [07971] them to the war [06635], a thousand [0505] of every tribe [04294], them and Phinehas [06372] the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], to the war [06635], with the holy [06944] instruments [03627], and the trumpets [02689] to blow [08643] in his hand [03027]. 4 31 7 And they warred [06633] against the Midianites [04080], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]; and they slew [02026] all the males [02145]. 4 31 8 And they slew [02026] the kings [04428] of Midian [04080], beside [05921] the rest of them that were slain [02491]; namely, Evi [0189], and Rekem [07552], and Zur [06698], and Hur [02354], and Reba [07254], five [02568] kings [04428] of Midian [04080]: Balaam [01109] also the son [01121] of Beor [01160] they slew [02026] with the sword [02719]. 4 31 9 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took all the women [0802] of Midian [04080] captives [07617], and their little ones [02945], and took the spoil [0962] of all their cattle [0929], and all their flocks [04735], and all their goods [02428]. 4 31 10 And they burnt [08313] all their cities [05892] wherein they dwelt [04186], and all their goodly castles [02918], with fire [0784]. 4 31 11 And they took [03947] all the spoil [07998], and all the prey [04455], both of men [0120] and of beasts [0929]. 4 31 12 And they brought [0935] the captives [07628], and the prey [04455], and the spoil [07998], unto Moses [04872], and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and unto the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], unto the camp [04264] at the plains [06160] of Moab [04124], which are by Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405]. 4 31 13 And Moses [04872], and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and all the princes [05387] of the congregation [05712], went forth [03318] to meet [07125] them without [02351] the camp [04264]. 4 31 14 And Moses [04872] was wroth [07107] with the officers [06485] of the host [02428], with the captains [08269] over thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over hundreds [03967], which came [0935] from [06635] the battle [04421]. 4 31 15 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, Have ye saved [02421] all the women [05347] alive [02421]? 4 31 16 Behold, these [02007] caused [01961] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], through the counsel [01697] of Balaam [01109], to commit [04560] trespass [04604] against the LORD [03068] in the matter [01697] of Peor [06465], and there was a plague [04046] among the congregation [05712] of the LORD [03068]. 4 31 17 Now therefore kill [02026] every male [02145] among the little ones [02945], and kill [02026] every woman [0802] that hath known [03045] man [0376] by lying [04904] with him [02145]. 4 31 18 But all the women [0802] children [02945], that have not known [03045] a man [02145] by lying [04904] with him, keep alive [02421] for yourselves. 4 31 19 And do ye abide [02583] without [02351] the camp [04264] seven [07651] days [03117]: whosoever hath killed [02026] any person [05315], and whosoever hath touched [05060] any slain [02491], purify [02398] both yourselves and your captives [07628] on the third [07992] day [03117], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117]. 4 31 20 And purify [02398] all your raiment [0899], and all that is made [03627] of skins [05785], and all work [04639] of goats [05795]' hair, and all things made [03627] of wood [06086]. 4 31 21 And Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] said [0559] unto the men [0582] of war [06635] which went [0935] to the battle [04421], This is the ordinance [02708] of the law [08451] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]; 4 31 22 Only the gold [02091], and the silver [03701], the brass [05178], the iron [01270], the tin [0913], and the lead [05777], 4 31 23 Every thing [01697] that may abide [0935] the fire [0784], ye shall make it go through [05674] the fire [0784], and it shall be clean [02891]: nevertheless it shall be purified [02398] with the water [04325] of separation [05079]: and all that abideth [0935] not the fire [0784] ye shall make go through [05674] the water [04325]. 4 31 24 And ye shall wash [03526] your clothes [0899] on the seventh [07637] day [03117], and ye shall be clean [02891], and afterward [0310] ye shall come [0935] into the camp [04264]. 4 31 25 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 31 26 Take [05375] the sum [07218] of the prey [04455] that was taken [07628], both of man [0120] and of beast [0929], thou, and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and the chief [07218] fathers [01] of the congregation [05712]: 4 31 27 And divide [02673] the prey [04455] into two parts [02673]; between them that took [08610] the war [04421] upon them, who went out [03318] to battle [06635], and between all the congregation [05712]: 4 31 28 And levy [07311] a tribute [04371] unto the LORD [03068] of the men [0582] of war [04421] which went out [03318] to battle [06635]: one [0259] soul [05315] of five [02568] hundred [03967], both of the persons [0120], and of the beeves [01241], and of the asses [02543], and of the sheep [06629]: 4 31 29 Take [03947] it of their half [04276], and give [05414] it unto Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], for an heave offering [08641] of the LORD [03068]. 4 31 30 And of the children [01121] of Israel's [03478] half [04276], thou shalt take [03947] one [0259] portion [0270] of fifty [02572], of the persons [0120], of the beeves [01241], of the asses [02543], and of the flocks [06629], of all manner of beasts [0929], and give [05414] them unto the Levites [03881], which keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]. 4 31 31 And Moses [04872] and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 31 32 And the booty [04455], being the rest [03499] of the prey [0957] which the men of [05971] war [06635] had caught [0962], was six [08337] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] and seventy [07657] thousand [0505] and five [02568] thousand [0505] sheep [06629], 4 31 33 And threescore and twelve [07657] [08147] thousand [0505] beeves [01241], 4 31 34 And threescore [08346] and one [0259] thousand [0505] asses [02543], 4 31 35 And thirty [07970] and two [08147] thousand [0505] persons [05315] [0120] in all [03605], of women [0802] that had not known [03045] man [02145] by lying [04904] with him. 4 31 36 And the half [04275], which was the portion [02506] of them that went out [03318] to war [06635], was in number [04557] three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] and thirty [07970] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967] sheep [06629]: 4 31 37 And the LORD'S [03068] tribute [04371] of the sheep [06629] was six [08337] hundred [03967] and threescore and fifteen [07657] [02568]. 4 31 38 And the beeves [01241] were thirty [07970] and six [08337] thousand [0505]; of which the LORD'S [03068] tribute [04371] was threescore and twelve [07657] [08147]. 4 31 39 And the asses [02543] were thirty [07970] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967]; of which the LORD'S [03068] tribute [04371] was threescore [08346] and one [0259]. 4 31 40 And the persons [0120] [05315] were sixteen [08337] [06240] thousand [0505]; of which the LORD'S [03068] tribute [04371] was thirty [07970] and two [08147] persons [05315]. 4 31 41 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] the tribute [04371], which was the LORD'S [03068] heave offering [08641], unto Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 31 42 And of the children [01121] of Israel's [03478] half [04276], which Moses [04872] divided [02673] from the men [0582] that warred [06633], 4 31 43 (Now the half [04275] that pertained unto the congregation [05712] was three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] and thirty [07970] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967] sheep [04480] [06629], 4 31 44 And thirty [07970] and six [08337] thousand [0505] beeves [01241], 4 31 45 And thirty [07970] thousand [0505] asses [02543] and five [02568] hundred [03967], 4 31 46 And sixteen [08337] [06240] thousand [0505] persons [05315] [0120];) 4 31 47 Even of the children [01121] of Israel's [03478] half [04276], Moses [04872] took [03947] one [0259] portion [0270] of fifty [02572], both of man [0120] and of beast [0929], and gave [05414] them unto the Levites [03881], which kept [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 4 31 48 And the officers [06485] which were over thousands [0505] of the host [06635], the captains [08269] of thousands [0505], and captains [08269] of hundreds [03967], came near [07126] unto Moses [04872]: 4 31 49 And they said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Thy servants [05650] have taken [05375] the sum [07218] of the men [0582] of war [04421] which are under our charge [03027], and there lacketh [06485] not one man [0376] of us. 4 31 50 We have therefore brought [07126] an oblation [07133] for the LORD [03068], what every man [0376] hath gotten [04672], of jewels [03627] of gold [02091], chains [0685], and bracelets [06781], rings [02885], earrings [05694], and tablets [03558], to make an atonement [03722] for our souls [05315] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 31 51 And Moses [04872] and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] took [03947] the gold [02091] of them, even all wrought [04639] jewels [03627]. 4 31 52 And all the gold [02091] of the offering [08641] that they offered up [07311] to the LORD [03068], of the captains [08269] of thousands [0505], and of the captains [08269] of hundreds [03967], was sixteen [08337] [06240] thousand [0505] seven [07651] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] shekels [08255]. 4 31 53 (For the men [0582] of war [06635] had taken spoil [0962], every man [0376] for himself.) 4 31 54 And Moses [04872] and Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] took [03947] the gold [02091] of the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and of hundreds [03967], and brought [0935] it into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], for a memorial [02146] for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 32 1 Now the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] had a very [03966] great [06099] multitude [07227] of cattle [04735]: and when they saw [07200] the land [0776] of Jazer [03270], and the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], that, behold, the place [04725] was a place [04725] for cattle [04735]; 4 32 2 The children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] came [0935] and spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], and to Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and unto the princes [05387] of the congregation [05712], saying [0559], 4 32 3 Ataroth [05852], and Dibon [01769], and Jazer [03270], and Nimrah [05247], and Heshbon [02809], and Elealeh [0500], and Shebam [07643], and Nebo [05015], and Beon [01194], 4 32 4 Even the country [0776] which the LORD [03068] smote [05221] before [06440] the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], is a land [0776] for cattle [04735], and thy servants [05650] have cattle [04735]: 4 32 5 Wherefore, said [0559] they, if we have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], let this land [0776] be given [05414] unto thy servants [05650] for a possession [0272], and bring us not over [05674] Jordan [03383]. 4 32 6 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and to the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], Shall your brethren [0251] go [0935] to war [04421], and shall ye sit [03427] here? 4 32 7 And wherefore discourage ye [05106] [05106] the heart [03820] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from going over [05674] into the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] them? 4 32 8 Thus did [06213] your fathers [01], when I sent [07971] them from Kadeshbarnea [06947] to see [07200] the land [0776]. 4 32 9 For when they went up [05927] unto the valley [05158] of Eshcol [0812], and saw [07200] the land [0776], they discouraged [05106] the heart [03820] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they should not go [0935] into the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] had given [05414] them. 4 32 10 And the LORD'S [03068] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] the same time [03117], and he sware [07650], saying [0559], 4 32 11 Surely [0518] none of the men [0582] that came up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], shall see [07200] the land [0127] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290]; because they have not wholly [04390] followed [0310] me: 4 32 12 Save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]: for they have wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068]. 4 32 13 And the LORD'S [03068] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Israel [03478], and he made them wander [05128] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], until all the generation [01755], that had done [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], was consumed [08552]. 4 32 14 And, behold, ye are risen up [06965] in your fathers [01]' stead, an increase [08635] of sinful [02400] men [0582], to augment [05595] yet the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] toward Israel [03478]. 4 32 15 For if ye turn away [07725] from after [0310] him, he will yet again [03254] leave [03240] them in the wilderness [04057]; and ye shall destroy [07843] all this people [05971]. 4 32 16 And they came near [05066] unto him, and said [0559], We will build [01129] sheepfolds [01448] [06629] here for our cattle [04735], and cities [05892] for our little ones [02945]: 4 32 17 But we ourselves [0587] will go ready [02363] armed [02502] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], until we have brought [0935] them unto their place [04725]: and our little ones [02945] shall dwell [03427] in the fenced [04013] cities [05892] because [06440] of the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]. 4 32 18 We will not return [07725] unto our houses [01004], until the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have inherited [05157] every man [0376] his inheritance [05159]. 4 32 19 For we will not inherit [05157] with them on yonder side [05676] Jordan [03383], or forward [01973]; because our inheritance [05159] is fallen [0935] to us on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] eastward [04217]. 4 32 20 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, If ye will do [06213] this thing [01697], if ye will go armed [02502] before [06440] the LORD [03068] to war [04421], 4 32 21 And will go [05674] all of you armed [02502] over [05674] Jordan [03383] before [06440] the LORD [03068], until he hath driven out [03423] his enemies [0341] from before [06440] him, 4 32 22 And the land [0776] be subdued [03533] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: then afterward [0310] ye shall return [07725], and be guiltless [05355] before the LORD [03068], and before Israel [03478]; and this land [0776] shall be your possession [0272] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 4 32 23 But if ye will not do so [06213], behold, ye have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]: and be sure [03045] your sin [02403] will find you out [04672]. 4 32 24 Build [01129] you cities [05892] for your little ones [02945], and folds [01448] for your sheep [06792]; and do [06213] that which hath proceeded [03318] out of your mouth [06310]. 4 32 25 And the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], Thy servants [05650] will do [06213] as my lord [0113] commandeth [06680]. 4 32 26 Our little ones [02945], our wives [0802], our flocks [04735], and all our cattle [0929], shall be there in the cities [05892] of Gilead [01568]: 4 32 27 But thy servants [05650] will pass over [05674], every man armed [02502] for war [06635], before [06440] the LORD [03068] to battle [04421], as my lord [0113] saith [01696]. 4 32 28 So concerning them Moses [04872] commanded [06680] Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the chief [07218] fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 4 32 29 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto them, If the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] will pass with you over [05674] Jordan [03383], every man armed [02502] to battle [04421], before [06440] the LORD [03068], and the land [0776] shall be subdued [03533] before [06440] you; then ye shall give [05414] them the land [0776] of Gilead [01568] for a possession [0272]: 4 32 30 But if they will not pass over [05674] with you armed [02502], they shall have possessions [0270] among [08432] you in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 4 32 31 And the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] answered [06030], saying [0559], As the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] unto thy servants [05650], so will we do [06213]. 4 32 32 We will [05168] pass over [05674] armed [02502] before [06440] the LORD [03068] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], that the possession [0272] of our inheritance [05159] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] may be ours. 4 32 33 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] unto them, even to the children [01121] of Gad [01410], and to the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and unto half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Joseph [03130], the kingdom [04467] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and the kingdom [04467] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], the land [0776], with the cities [05892] thereof in the coasts [01367], even the cities [05892] of the country [0776] round about [05439]. 4 32 34 And the children [01121] of Gad [01410] built [01129] Dibon [01769], and Ataroth [05852], and Aroer [06177], 4 32 35 And Atroth, Shophan [05855], and Jaazer [03270], and Jogbehah [03011], 4 32 36 And Bethnimrah [01039], and Bethharan [01028], fenced [04013] cities [05892]: and folds [01448] for sheep [06629]. 4 32 37 And the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] built [01129] Heshbon [02809], and Elealeh [0500], and Kirjathaim [07156], 4 32 38 And Nebo [05015], and Baalmeon [01186], (their names [08034] being changed [04142] and Shibmah [07643]: and gave [07121] other names [08034] [08034] unto the cities [05892] which they builded [01129]. 4 32 39 And the children [01121] of Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] went [03212] to Gilead [01568], and took [03920] it, and dispossessed [03423] the Amorite [0567] which was in it. 4 32 40 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] Gilead [01568] unto Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519]; and he dwelt [03427] therein. 4 32 41 And Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] went [01980] and took [03920] the small towns [02333] thereof, and called [07121] them Havothjair [02334]. 4 32 42 And Nobah [05025] went [01980] and took [03920] Kenath [07079], and the villages [01323] thereof, and called [07121] it Nobah [05025], after his own name [08034]. 4 33 1 These are the journeys [04550] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which went forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] with their armies [06635] under the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175]. 4 33 2 And Moses [04872] wrote [03789] their goings out [04161] according to their journeys [04550] by the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068]: and these are their journeys [04550] according to their goings out [04161]. 4 33 3 And they departed [05265] from Rameses [07486] in the first [07223] month [02320], on the fifteenth [06240] [02568] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320]; on the morrow [04283] after the passover [06453] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went out [03318] with an high [07311] hand [03027] in the sight [05869] of all the Egyptians [04714]. 4 33 4 For the Egyptians [04714] buried [06912] all their firstborn [01060], which the LORD [03068] had smitten [05221] among them: upon their gods [0430] also the LORD [03068] executed [06213] judgments [08201]. 4 33 5 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] removed [05265] from Rameses [07486], and pitched [02583] in Succoth [05523]. 4 33 6 And they departed [05265] from Succoth [05523], and pitched [02583] in Etham [0864], which is in the edge [07097] of the wilderness [04057]. 4 33 7 And they removed [05265] from Etham [0864], and turned again [07725] unto Pihahiroth [06367], which is before Baalzephon [01189]: and they pitched [02583] before [06440] Migdol [04024]. 4 33 8 And they departed [05265] from before [06440] Pihahiroth [06367], and passed through [05674] the midst [08432] of the sea [03220] into the wilderness [04057], and went [03212] three [07969] days [03117]' journey [01870] in the wilderness [04057] of Etham [0864], and pitched

threescore and ten [07657] palm trees [08558]; and they pitched [02583] there. 4 33 10 And they removed [05265] from Elim [0362], and encamped [02583] by the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 4 33 11 And they removed [05265] from the Red [05488] sea [03220], and encamped [02583] in the wilderness [04057] of Sin [05512]. 4 33 12 And they took their journey [05265] out of the wilderness [04057] of Sin [05512], and encamped [02583] in Dophkah [01850]. 4 33 13 And they departed [05265] from Dophkah [01850], and encamped [02583] in Alush [0442]. 4 33 14 And they removed [05265] from Alush [0442], and encamped [02583] at Rephidim [07508], where was no water [04325] for the people [05971] to drink [08354]. 4 33 15 And they departed [05265] from Rephidim [07508], and pitched [02583] in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514]. 4 33 16 And they removed [05265] from the desert [04057] of Sinai [05514], and pitched [02583] at Kibrothhattaavah [06914]. 4 33 17 And they departed [05265] from

departed [05265] from Tahath [08480], and pitched [02583] at Tarah [08646]. 4 33 28 And they removed [05265] from Tarah [08646], and pitched [02583] in Mithcah [04989]. 4 33 29 And they went [05265]

the priest [03548] went up [05927] into mount [02022] Hor [02023] at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], and died [04191] there, in the fortieth [0705] year [08141] after the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were come out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the first [0259] day of the fifth [02549] month [02320]. 4 33 39 And Aaron [0175] was an hundred [03967] and twenty

[063] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124]. 4 33 50 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] by Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405], saying [0559], 4 33 51 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye are passed over [05674] Jordan [03383] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; 4 33 52 Then ye shall drive out [03423] all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] from before [06440] you, and destroy [06] all their pictures [04906], and destroy [06] all their molten [04541] images [06754], and quite pluck down [08045] all their high places [01116]: 4 33 53 And ye shall dispossess [03423] the inhabitants of the land [0776], and dwell [03427] therein: for I have given [05414] you the land [0776] to possess [03423] it. 4 33 54 And ye shall divide [05157] the land [0776] by lot [01486] for an inheritance [05157] among your families [04940]: and to the more [07227] ye shall give the more [07235] inheritance [05159], and to the fewer [04592] ye shall give the less [04591] inheritance [05159]: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot [01486] falleth [03318]; according to the tribes [04294] of your fathers [01] ye shall inherit [05157]. 4 33 55 But if ye will not drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] from before [06440] you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain [03498] of them shall be pricks [07899] in your eyes [05869], and thorns [06796] in your sides [06654], and shall vex [06887] you in the land [0776] wherein ye dwell [03427]. 4 33 56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do [06213] unto you, as I thought [01819] to do [06213] unto them. 4 34 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 34 2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye come [0935] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; (this is the land [0776] that shall fall [05307] unto you for an inheritance [05159], even the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] with the coasts [01367] thereof:) 4 34 3 Then your south [05045] quarter [06285] shall be from the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790] along by the coast [03027] of Edom [0123], and your south [05045] border [01366] shall be the outmost coast [07097] of the salt [04417] sea [03220] eastward [06924]: 4 34 4 And your border [01366] shall turn [05437] from the south [05045] to the ascent [04608] of Akrabbim [04610], and pass on [05674] to Zin [06790]: and the going forth [08444] thereof shall be from the south [05045] to Kadeshbarnea [06947], and shall go on [03318] to Hazaraddar [02692], and pass on [05674] to Azmon [06111]: 4 34 5 And the border [01366] shall fetch a compass [05437] from Azmon [06111] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the sea [03220]. 4 34 6 And as for the western [03220] border [01366], ye shall even have the great [01419] sea [03220] for a border [01366]: this shall be your west [03220] border [01366]. 4 34 7 And this shall be your north [06828] border [01366]: from the great [01419] sea [03220] ye shall point out [08376] for you mount [02022] Hor [02023]: 4 34 8 From mount [02022] Hor [02023] ye shall point out [08376] your border unto the entrance [0935] of Hamath [02574]; and the goings forth [08444] of the border [01366] shall be to Zedad [06657]: 4 34 9 And the border [01366] shall go on [03318] to Ziphron [02202], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at Hazarenan [02704]: this shall be your north [06828] border [01366]. 4 34 10 And ye shall point out [0184] your east [06924] border [01366] from Hazarenan [02704] to Shepham [08221]: 4 34 11 And the coast [01366] shall go down [03381] from Shepham [08221] to Riblah [07247], on the east side [06924] of Ain [05871]; and the border [01366] shall descend [03381], and shall reach [04229] unto the side [03802] of the sea [03220] of Chinnereth [03672] eastward [06924]: 4 34 12 And the border [01366] shall go down [03381] to Jordan [03383], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the salt [04417] sea [03220]: this shall be your land [0776] with the coasts [01367] thereof round about [05439]. 4 34 13 And Moses [04872] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], This is the land [0776] which ye shall inherit [05157] by lot [01486], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to give [05414] unto the nine [08672] tribes [04294], and to the half [02677] tribe [04294]: 4 34 14 For the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Reuben [07206] according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], and the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Gad [01425] according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01], have received [03947] their inheritance; and half [02677] the tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519] have received [03947] their inheritance [05159]: 4 34 15 The two [08147] tribes [04294] and the half [02677] tribe [04294] have received [03947] their inheritance [05159] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405] eastward [06924], toward the sunrising [04217]. 4 34 16 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 34 17 These are the names [08034] of the men [0582] which shall divide [05157] the land [0776] unto you: Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 4 34 18 And ye shall take [03947] one [0259] prince [05387] of every tribe [04294], to divide [05157] the land [0776] by inheritance [05157]. 4 34 19 And the names [08034] of the men [0582] are these: Of the tribe [04294] of Judah [03063], Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]. 4 34 20 And of the tribe [04294] of the

Parnach [06535]. 4 34 26 And the prince [05387] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Issachar [03485], Paltiel [06409] the son [01121] of Azzan [05821]. 4 34 27 And the prince [05387] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Asher [0836], Ahihud [0282] the son [01121] of Shelomi [08015]. 4 34 28 And the prince [05387] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Naphtali [05321], Pedahel [06300] the son [01121] of Ammihud [05989]. 4 34 29 These are they whom the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] to divide the inheritance [05157] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 4 35 1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] by Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405], saying [0559], 4 35 2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they give [05414] unto the Levites [03881] of the inheritance [05159] of their possession [0272] cities [05892] to dwell in [03427]; and ye shall give [05414] also unto the Levites [03881] suburbs [04054] for the cities [05892] round about [05439] them. 4 35 3 And the cities [05892] shall they have to dwell in [03427]; and the suburbs [04054] of them shall be for their cattle [0929], and for their goods [07399], and for all their beasts [02416]. 4 35 4 And the suburbs [04054] of the cities [05892], which ye shall give [05414] unto the Levites [03881], shall reach from the wall [07023] of the city [05892] and outward [02351] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520] round about [05439]. 4 35 5 And ye shall measure [04058] from without [02351] the city [05892] on the east [06924] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the south [05045] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the west [03220] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and on the north [06828] side [06285] two thousand [0505] cubits [0520]; and the city [05892] shall be in the midst [08432]: this shall be to them the suburbs [04054] of the cities [05892]. 4 35 6 And among the cities [05892] which ye shall give [05414] unto the Levites [03881] there shall be six [08337] cities [05892] for refuge [04733], which ye shall appoint [05414] for the manslayer [07523], that he may flee [05127] thither: and to them ye shall add [05414] forty [0705] and two [08147] cities [05892]. 4 35 7 So all the cities [05892] which ye shall give [05414] to the Levites [03881] shall be forty [0705] and eight [08083] cities [05892]: them shall ye give with their suburbs [04054]. 4 35 8 And the cities [05892] which ye shall give [05414] shall be of the possession [0272] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: from them that have many [07227] ye shall give many [07235]; but from them that have few [04592] ye shall give few [04591]: every one [0376] shall give [05414] of his cities [05892] unto the Levites [03881] according [06310] to his inheritance [05159] which he inheriteth [05157]. 4 35 9 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559], 4 35 10 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye be come over [05674] Jordan [03383] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; 4 35 11 Then ye shall appoint [07136] you cities [05892] to be cities [05892] of refuge [04733] for you; that the slayer [07523] may flee [05127] thither, which killeth [05221] any person [05315] at unawares [07684]. 4 35 12 And they shall be unto you cities [05892] for refuge [04733] from the avenger [01350]; that the manslayer [07523] die [04191] not, until he stand [05975] before [06440] the congregation [05712] in judgment [04941]. 4 35 13 And of these cities [05892] which ye shall give [05414] six [08337] cities [05892] shall ye have for refuge [04733]. 4 35 14 Ye shall give [05414] three [07969] cities [05892] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383], and three [07969] cities [05892] shall ye give [05414] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which shall be cities [05892] of refuge [04733]. 4 35 15 These six [08337] cities [05892] shall be a refuge [04733], both for the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and for the stranger [01616], and for the sojourner [08453] among [08432] them: that every one that killeth [05221] any person [05315] unawares [07684] may flee [05127] thither. 4 35 16 And if he smite [05221] him with an instrument [03627] of iron [01270], so that he die [04191], he is a murderer [07523]: the murderer [07523] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 4 35 17 And if he smite [05221] him with throwing [03027] a stone [068], wherewith he may die [04191], and he die [04191], he is a murderer [07523]: the murderer [07523] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 4 35 18 Or if he smite [05221] him with an hand [03027] weapon [03627] of wood [06086], wherewith he may die [04191], and he die [04191], he is a murderer [07523]: the murderer [07523] shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 4 35 19 The revenger [01350] of blood [01818] himself shall slay [04191] the murderer [07523]: when he meeteth [06293] him, he [01931] shall slay [04191] him. 4 35 20 But if he thrust [01920] him of hatred [08135], or hurl [07993] at him by laying of wait [06660], that he die [04191]; 4 35 21 Or in enmity [0342] smite [05221] him with his hand [03027], that he die [04191]: he that smote [05221] him shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]; for he is a murderer [07523]: the revenger [01350] of blood [01818] shall slay [04191] the murderer [07523], when he meeteth [06293] him. 4 35 22 But if he thrust [01920] him suddenly [06621] without [03808] enmity [0342], or have cast [07993] upon him any thing [03627] without laying of wait [06660], 4 35 23 Or with any stone [068], wherewith a man may die [04191], seeing [07200] him not [03808], and cast [05307] it upon him, that he die [04191], and was not his enemy [0341], neither sought [01245] his harm [07451]: 4 35 24 Then the congregation [05712] shall judge [08199] between the slayer [05221] and the revenger [01350] of blood [01818] according to these judgments [04941]: 4 35 25 And the congregation [05712] shall deliver [05337] the slayer [07523] out of the hand [03027] of the revenger [01350] of blood [01818], and the congregation [05712] shall restore [07725] him to the city [05892] of his refuge [04733], whither he was fled [05127]: and he shall abide [03427] in it unto the death [04194] of the high [01419] priest [03548], which was anointed [04886] with the holy [06944] oil [08081]. 4 35 26 But if the slayer [07523] shall at any time [03318] come [03318] without the border [01366] of the city [05892] of his refuge [04733], whither he was fled [05127]; 4 35 27 And the revenger [01350] of blood [01818] find [04672] him without [02351] the borders [01366] of the city [05892] of his refuge [04733], and the revenger [01350] of blood [01818] kill [07523] the slayer [07523]; he shall not be guilty of blood [01818]: 4 35 28 Because he should have remained [03427] in the city [05892] of his refuge [04733] until the death [04194] of the high [01419] priest [03548]: but after [0310] the death [04194] of the high [01419] priest [03548] the slayer [07523] shall return [07725] into the land [0776] of his possession [0272]. 4 35 29 So these things shall be for a statute [02708] of judgment [04941] unto you throughout your generations [01755] in all your dwellings [04186]. 4 35 30 Whoso killeth [05221] any person [05315], the murderer [07523] shall be put to death [07523] by the mouth [06310] of witnesses [05707]: but one [0259] witness [05707] shall not testify [06030] against any person [05315] to cause him to die [04191]. 4 35 31 Moreover ye shall take [03947] no satisfaction [03724] for the life [05315] of a murderer [07523], which is guilty [07563] of death [04191]: but he shall be surely [04191] put to death [04191]. 4 35 32 And ye shall take [03947] no satisfaction [03724] for him that is fled [05127] to the city [05892] of his refuge [04733], that he should come again [07725] to dwell [03427] in the land [0776], until the death [04194] of the priest [03548]. 4 35 33 So ye shall not pollute [02610] the land [0776] wherein ye are: for blood [01818] it defileth [02610] the land [0776]: and the land [0776] cannot be cleansed [03722] of the blood [01818] that is shed [08210] therein, but by the blood [01818] of him that shed [08210] it. 4 35 34 Defile [02930] not therefore the land [0776] which ye shall inhabit [03427], wherein [08432] I dwell [07931]: for I the LORD [03068] dwell [07931] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 4 36 1 And the chief [07218] fathers [01] of the families [04940] of the children [01121] of Gilead [01568], the son [01121] of Machir [04353], the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], of the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Joseph [03130], came near [07126], and spake [01696] before [06440] Moses [04872], and before [06440] the princes [05387], the chief [07218] fathers [01] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 4 36 2 And they said [0559], The LORD [03068] commanded [06680] my lord [0113] to give [05414] the land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] by lot [01486] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and my lord [0113] was commanded [06680] by the LORD [03068] to give [05414] the inheritance [05159] of Zelophehad [06765] our brother [0251] unto his daughters [01323]. 4 36 3 And if they be married [0802] to any [0259] of the sons [01121] of the other tribes [07626] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], then shall their inheritance [05159] be taken [01639] from the inheritance [05159] of our fathers [01], and shall be put [03254] to the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken [01639] from the lot [01486] of our inheritance [05159]. 4 36 4 And when the jubile [03104] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall be, then shall their inheritance [05159] be put [03254] unto the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance [05159] be taken away [01639] from the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] of our fathers [01]. 4 36 5 And Moses [04872] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The tribe [04294] of the sons [01121] of Joseph [03130] hath said [01696] well. 4 36 6 This is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] doth command [06680] concerning the daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765], saying [0559], Let them marry [0802] to whom they think [05869] best [02896]; only to the family [04940] of the tribe [04294] of their father [01] shall they marry [0802]. 4 36 7 So shall not the inheritance [05159] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] remove [05437] from tribe [04294] to tribe [04294]: for every one [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall keep [01692] himself to the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] of his fathers [01]. 4 36 8 And every daughter [01323], that possesseth [03423] an inheritance [05159] in any tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], shall be wife [0802] unto one [0259] of the family [04940] of the tribe [04294] of her father [01], that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] may enjoy [03423] every man [0376] the inheritance [05159] of his fathers [01]. 4 36 9 Neither shall the inheritance [05159] remove [05437] from one tribe [04294] to another [0312] tribe [04294]; but every one [0376] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall keep [01692] himself to his own inheritance [05159]. 4 36 10 Even as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so did [06213] the daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765]: 4 36 11 For Mahlah [04244], Tirzah [08656], and Hoglah [02295], and Milcah [04435], and Noah [05270], the daughters [01323] of Zelophehad [06765], were married [0802] unto their father's [01730] brothers' sons [01121]: 4 36 12 And they were married [0802] into the families [04940] of the sons [01121] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Joseph [03130], and their inheritance [05159] remained in the tribe [04294] of the family [04940] of their father [01]. 4 36 13 These are the commandments [04687] and the judgments [04941], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] by Jordan [03383] near Jericho [03405]. 5 1 1 These be the words [01697] which Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto all Israel [03478] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] in the wilderness [04057], in the plain [06160] over against [04136] the Red [05489] sea, between Paran [06290], and Tophel [08603], and Laban [03837], and Hazeroth [02698], and Dizahab [01774]. 5 1 2 (There are eleven [0259] [06240] days [03117]' journey from Horeb [02722] by the way [01870] of mount [02022] Seir [08165] unto Kadeshbarnea [06947].) 5 1 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth [0705] year [08141], in the eleventh [06249] [06240] month [02320], on the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], according unto all that the LORD [03068] had given him in commandment [06680] unto them; 5 1 4 After [0310] he had slain [05221] Sihon [05511] the king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] in Heshbon [02809], and Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which dwelt [03427] at Astaroth [06252] in Edrei [0154]: 5 1 5 On this side [05676] Jordan [03383], in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], began [02974] Moses [04872] to declare [0874] this law [08451], saying [0559], 5 1 6 The LORD [03068] our God [0430] spake [01696] unto us in Horeb [02722], saying [0559], Ye have dwelt [03427] long enough [07227] in this mount [02022]: 5 1 7 Turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265], and go [0935] to the mount [02022] of the Amorites [0567], and unto all the places nigh [07934] thereunto, in the plain [06160], in the hills [02022], and in the vale [08219], and in the south [05045], and by the sea [03220] side [02348], to the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and unto Lebanon [03844], unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]. 5 1 8 Behold [07200], I have set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] you: go [0935] in and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto your fathers [01], Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290], to give [05414] unto them and to their seed [02233] after [0310] them. 5 1 9 And I spake [0559] unto you at that time [06256], saying [0559], I am not able [03201] to bear [05375] you myself alone [0905]: 5 1 10 The LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath multiplied [07235] you, and, behold, ye are this day [03117] as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064] for multitude [07230]. 5 1 11 (The LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] make you a thousand [0505] times [06471] so many more as [03254] ye are, and bless [01288] you, as he hath promised [01696] you!) 5 1 12 How [0349] can I myself alone bear [05375] your cumbrance [02960], and your burden [04853], and your strife [07379]? 5 1 13 Take [03051] you wise [02450] men [0582], and understanding [0995], and known [03045] among your tribes [07626], and I will make [07760] them rulers [07218] over you. 5 1 14 And ye answered [06030] me, and said [0559], The thing [01697] which thou hast spoken [01696] is good [02896] for us to do [06213]. 5 1 15 So I took [03947] the chief [07218] of your tribes [07626], wise [02450] men [0582], and known [03045], and made [05414] them heads [07218] over you, captains [08269] over thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over hundreds [03967], and captains [08269] over fifties [02572], and captains [08269] over tens [06235], and officers [07860] among your tribes [07626]. 5 1 16 And I charged [06680] your judges [08199] at that time [06256], saying [0559], Hear [08085] the causes between your brethren [0251], and judge [08199] righteously [06664] between every man [0376] and his brother [0251], and the stranger [01616] that is with him. 5 1 17 Ye shall not respect [05234] persons [06440] in judgment [04941]; but ye shall hear [08085] the small [06996] as well as the great [01419]; ye shall not be afraid [01481] of the face [06440] of man [0376]; for the judgment [04941] is God's [0430]: and the cause [01697] that is too hard [07185] for you, bring [07126] it unto me, and I will hear [08085] it. 5 1 18 And I commanded [06680] you at that time [06256] all the things [01697] which ye should do [06213]. 5 1 19 And when we departed [05265] from Horeb [02722], we went through [03212] all that great [01419] and terrible [03372] wilderness [04057], which ye saw [07200] by the way [01870] of the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] commanded [06680] us; and we came [0935] to Kadeshbarnea [06947]. 5 1 20 And I said [0559] unto you, Ye are come [0935] unto the mountain [02022] of the Amorites [0567], which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] unto us. 5 1 21 Behold [07200], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath set [05414] the land [0776] before [06440] thee: go up [05927] and possess [03423] it, as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath said [01696] unto thee; fear [03372] not, neither be discouraged [02865]. 5 1 22 And ye came near [07126] unto me every one of you, and said [0559], We will send [07971] men [0582] before [06440] us, and they shall search us out [02658] the land [0776], and bring [07725] us word [01697] again [07725] by what way [01870] we must go up [05927], and into what cities [05892] we shall come [0935]. 5 1 23 And the saying [01697] pleased me well [03190] [05869]: and I took [03947] twelve [08147] [06240] men [0582] of you, one [0259] of a tribe [0376] [07626]: 5 1 24 And they turned [06437] and went up [05927] into the mountain [02022], and came [0935] unto the valley [05158] of Eshcol [0812], and searched it out [07270]. 5 1 25 And they took [03947] of the fruit [06529] of the land [0776] in their hands [03027], and brought it down [03381] unto us, and brought [07725] us word [01697] again [07725], and said [0559], It is a good [02896] land [0776] which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] doth give [05414] us. 5 1 26 Notwithstanding ye would [014] not go up [05927], but rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: 5 1 27 And ye murmured [07279] in your tents [0168], and said [0559], Because the LORD [03068] hated [08135] us, he hath brought us forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Amorites [0567], to destroy [08045] us. 5 1 28 Whither shall we go up [05927]? our brethren [0251] have discouraged [04549] our heart [03824], saying [0559], The people [05971] is greater [01419] and taller [07311] than we; the cities [05892] are great [01419] and walled up [01219] to heaven [08064]; and moreover we have seen [07200] the sons [01121] of the Anakims [06062] there. 5 1 29 Then I said [0559] unto you, Dread [06206] not, neither be afraid [03372] of them. 5 1 30 The LORD [03068] your God [0430] which goeth [01980] before [06440] you, he shall fight [03898] for you, according to all that he did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869]; 5 1 31 And in the wilderness [04057], where thou hast seen [07200] how that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] bare [05375] thee, as a man [0376] doth bear [05375] his son [01121], in all the way [01870] that ye went [01980], until ye came [0935] into this place [04725]. 5 1 32 Yet in this thing [01697] ye did not believe [0539] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], 5 1 33 Who went [01980] in the way [01870] before [06440] you, to search you out [08446] a place [04725] to pitch your tents [02583] in, in fire [0784] by night [03915], to shew [07200] you by what way [01870] ye should go [03212], and in a cloud [06051] by day [03119]. 5 1 34 And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], and was wroth [07107], and sware [07650], saying [0559], 5 1 35 Surely there shall not one [0376] of these men [0582] of this evil [07451] generation [01755] see [07200] that good [02896] land [0776], which I sware [07650] to give [05414] unto your fathers [01], 5 1 36 Save [02108] Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]; he shall see [07200] it, and to him will I give [05414] the land [0776] that [0834] he hath trodden upon [01869], and to his children [01121], because he hath wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068]. 5 1 37 Also the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with me for your sakes [01558], saying [0559], Thou also shalt not go [0935] in thither [08033]. 5 1 38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], which standeth [05975] before [06440] thee, he shall go in [0935] thither: encourage [02388] him: for he shall cause Israel [03478] to inherit [05157] it. 5 1 39 Moreover your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], and your children [01121], which in that day [03117] had no knowledge [03045] between good [02896] and evil [07451], they shall go in [0935] thither, and unto them will I give [05414] it, and they shall possess [03423] it. 5 1 40 But as for you, turn [06437] you, and take your journey [05265] into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 5 1 41 Then ye answered [06030] and said [0559] unto me, We have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068], we will go up [05927] and fight [03898], according to all that the LORD [03068] our God [0430] commanded [06680] us. And when ye had girded [02296] on every man [0376] his weapons [03627] of war [04421], ye were ready [01951] to go up [05927] into the hill [02022]. 5 1 42 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Say [0559] unto them, Go not up [05927], neither fight [03898]; for I am not among [07130] you; lest ye be smitten [05062] before [06440] your enemies [0341]. 5 1 43 So I spake [01696] unto you; and ye would not hear [08085], but rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], and went [05927] presumptuously [02102] up [05927] into the hill [02022]. 5 1 44 And the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] in that mountain [02022], came out [03318] against [07125] you, and chased [07291] you, as bees [01682] do [06213], and destroyed [03807] you in Seir [08165], even unto Hormah [02767]. 5 1 45 And ye returned [07725] and wept [01058] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; but the LORD [03068] would not hearken [08085] to your voice [06963], nor give ear [0238] unto you. 5 1 46 So ye abode [03427] in Kadesh [06946] many [07227] days [03117], according unto the days [03117] that ye abode [03427] there. 5 2 1 Then we turned [06437], and took our journey [05265] into the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] of the Red [05488] sea [03220], as the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto me: and we compassed [05437] mount [02022] Seir [08165] many [07227] days [03117]. 5 2 2 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto me, saying [0559], 5 2 3 Ye have compassed [05437] this mountain [02022] long enough [07227]: turn [06437] you northward [06828]. 5 2 4 And command [06680] thou the people [05971], saying [0559], Ye are to pass [05674] through the coast [01366] of your brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Esau [06215], which dwell [03427] in Seir [08165]; and they shall be afraid [03372] of you: take ye good [03966] heed [08104] unto yourselves therefore: 5 2 5 Meddle [01624] not with them; for I will not give [05414] you of their land [0776], no, not so much as a foot [07272] breadth [04096] [03709]; because I have given [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] unto Esau [06215] for a possession [03425]. 5 2 6 Ye shall buy [07666] meat [0400] of them for money [03701], that ye may eat [0398]; and ye shall also buy [03739] water [04325] of them for money [03701], that ye may drink [08354]. 5 2 7 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee in all the works [04639] of thy hand [03027]: he knoweth [03045] thy walking [03212] through this great [01419] wilderness [04057]: these forty [0705] years [08141] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath been with thee; thou hast lacked [02637] nothing [01697]. 5 2 8 And when we passed [05674] by from our brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Esau [06215], which dwelt [03427] in Seir [08165], through the way [01870] of the plain [06160] from Elath [0359], and from Eziongaber [06100], we turned [06437] and passed [05674] by the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057] of Moab [04124]. 5 2 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Distress [06696] not the Moabites [04124], neither contend [01624] with them in battle [04421]: for I will not give [05414] thee of their land [0776] for a possession [03425]; because I have given [05414] Ar [06144] unto the children [01121] of Lot [03876] for a possession [03425]. 5 2 10 The Emims [0368] dwelt [03427] therein in times past [06440], a people [05971] great [01419], and many [07227], and tall [07311], as the Anakims [06062]; 5 2 11 Which [01992] also were accounted [02803] giants [07497], as the Anakims [06062]; but the Moabites [04125] call [07121] them Emims [0368]. 5 2 12 The Horims [02752] also dwelt [03427] in Seir [08165] beforetime [06440]; but the children [01121] of Esau [06215] succeeded [03423] them, when they had destroyed [08045] them from before [06440] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead; as Israel [03478] did [06213] unto the land [0776] of his possession [03425], which the LORD [03068] gave [05414] unto them. 5 2 13 Now rise up [06965], said I, and get you over [05674] the brook [05158] Zered [02218]. And we went over [05674] the brook [05158] Zered [02218]. 5 2 14 And the space [03117] in which we came [01980] from Kadeshbarnea [06947], until we were come over [05674] the brook [05158] Zered [02218], was thirty [07970] and eight [08083] years [08141]; until all the generation [01755] of the men [0582] of war [04421] were wasted out [08552] from among [07130] the host [04264], as the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto them. 5 2 15 For indeed the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against them, to destroy [02000] them from among [07130] the host [04264], until they were consumed [08552]. 5 2 16 So it came to pass, when all the men [0582] of war [04421] were consumed [08552] and dead [04191] from among [07130] the people [05971], 5 2 17 That the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto me, saying [0559], 5 2 18 Thou art to pass over [05674] through Ar [06144], the coast [01366] of Moab [04124], this day [03117]: 5 2 19 And when thou comest nigh [07126] over against [04136] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], distress [06696] them not, nor meddle [01624] with them: for I will not give [05414] thee of the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] any possession [03425]; because I have given [05414] it unto the children [01121] of Lot [03876] for a possession [03425]. 5 2 20 (That also was accounted [02803] a land [0776] of giants [07497]: giants [07497] dwelt [03427] therein in old time [06440]; and the Ammonites [05984] call [07121] them Zamzummims [02157]; 5 2 21 A people [05971] great [01419], and many [07227], and tall [07311], as the Anakims [06062]; but the LORD [03068] destroyed [08045] them before [06440] them; and they succeeded [03423] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead: 5 2 22 As he did [06213] to the children [01121] of Esau [06215], which dwelt [03427] in Seir [08165], when he destroyed [08045] the Horims [02752] from before [06440] them; and they succeeded [03423] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead even unto this day [03117]: 5 2 23 And the Avims [05761] which dwelt [03427] in Hazerim [02699], even unto Azzah [05804], the Caphtorims [03732], which came forth [03318] out of Caphtor [03731], destroyed [08045] them, and dwelt [03427] in their stead.) 5 2 24 Rise ye up [06965], take your journey [05265], and pass over [05674] the river [05158] Arnon [0769]: behold [07200], I have given [05414] into thine hand [03027] Sihon [05511] the Amorite [0567], king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], and his land [0776]: begin [02490] to possess [03423] it, and contend [01624] with him in battle [04421]. 5 2 25 This day [03117] will I begin [02490] to put [05414] the dread [06343] of thee and the fear [03374] of thee upon the nations [06440] [05971] that are under the whole heaven [08064], who shall hear [08085] report [08088] of thee, and shall tremble [07264], and be in anguish [02342] because of thee [06440]. 5 2 26 And I sent [07971] messengers [04397] out of the wilderness [04057] of Kedemoth [06932] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809] with words [01697] of peace [07965], saying [0559], 5 2 27 Let me pass [05674] through thy land [0776]: I will go [03212] along by the high way [01870] [01870], I will neither turn [05493] unto the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040]. 5 2 28 Thou shalt sell [07666] me meat [0400] for money [03701], that I may eat [0398]; and give [05414] me water [04325] for money [03701], that I may drink [08354]: only I will pass through [05674] on my feet [07272]; 5 2 29 (As the children [01121] of Esau [06215] which dwell [03427] in Seir [08165], and the Moabites [04125] which dwell [03427] in Ar [06144], did [06213] unto me;) until I shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] into the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] giveth [05414] us. 5 2 30 But Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809] would [014] not let us pass [05674] by him: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hardened [07185] his spirit [07307], and made his heart [03824] obstinate [0553], that he might deliver [05414] him into thy hand [03027], as appeareth this day [03117]. 5 2 31 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Behold [07200], I have begun [02490] to give [05414] Sihon [05511] and his land [0776] before [06440] thee: begin [02490] to possess [03423], that thou mayest inherit [03423] his land [0776]. 5 2 32 Then Sihon [05511] came out [03318] against [07125] us, he and all his people [05971], to fight [04421] at Jahaz [03096]. 5 2 33 And the LORD [03068] our God [0430] delivered [05414] him before [06440] us; and we smote [05221] him, and his sons [01121], and all his people [05971]. 5 2 34 And we took [03920] all his cities [05892] at that time [06256], and utterly destroyed [02763] the men [04962], and the women [0802], and the little ones [02945], of every city [05892], we left [07604] none to remain [08300]: 5 2 35 Only the cattle [0929] we took for a prey [0962] unto ourselves, and the spoil [07998] of the cities [05892] which we took [03920]. 5 2 36 From Aroer [06177], which is by the brink [08193] of the river [05158] of Arnon [0769], and from the city [05892] that is by the river [05158], even unto Gilead [01568], there was not one city [07151] too strong [07682] for us: the LORD [03068] our God [0430] delivered [05414] all unto us [06440]: 5 2 37 Only unto the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] thou camest [07126] not, nor unto any place [03027] of the river [05158] Jabbok [02999], nor unto the cities [05892] in the mountains [02022], nor unto whatsoever the LORD [03068] our God [0430] forbad [06680] us. 5 3 1 Then we turned [06437], and went up [05927] the way [01870] to Bashan [01316]: and Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316] came out [03318] against [07125] us, he and all his people [05971], to battle [04421] at Edrei [0154]. 5 3 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Fear [03372] him not: for I will deliver [05414] him, and all his people [05971], and his land [0776], into thy hand [03027]; and thou shalt do [06213] unto him as thou didst [06213] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] at Heshbon [02809]. 5 3 3 So the LORD [03068] our God [0430] delivered [05414] into our hands [03027] Og [05747] also, the king [04428] of Bashan [01316], and all his people [05971]: and we smote [05221] him until none was left [07604] to him remaining [08300]. 5 3 4 And we took [03920] all his cities [05892] at that time [06256], there was not a city [07151] which we took [03947] not from them, threescore [08346] cities [05892], all the region [02256] of Argob [0709], the kingdom [04467] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316]. 5 3 5 All these cities [05892] were fenced [01219] with high [01364] walls [02346], gates [01817], and bars [01280]; beside unwalled [06521] towns [05892] a great [03966] many [07235]. 5 3 6 And we utterly destroyed [02763] them, as we did [06213] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], utterly destroying [02763] the men [04962], women [0802], and children [02945], of every city [05892]. 5 3 7 But all the cattle [0929], and the spoil [07998] of the cities [05892], we took for a prey [0962] to ourselves. 5 3 8 And we took [03947] at that time [06256] out [03947] of the hand [03027] of the two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567] the land [0776] that was on this side [05676] Jordan [03383], from the river [05158] of Arnon [0769] unto mount [02022] Hermon [02768]; 5 3 9 (Which Hermon [02768] the Sidonians [06722] call [07121] Sirion [08303]; and the Amorites [0567] call [07121] it Shenir [08149];) 5 3 10 All the cities [05892] of the plain [04334], and all Gilead [01568], and all Bashan [01316], unto Salchah [05548] and Edrei [0154], cities [05892] of the kingdom [04467] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316]. 5 3 11 For only Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316] remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of giants [07497]; behold, his bedstead [06210] was a bedstead [06210] of iron [01270]; is it not [03808] in Rabbath [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? nine [08672] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] of it, after the cubit [0520] of a man [0376]. 5 3 12 And this land [0776], which we possessed [03423] at that time [06256], from Aroer [06177], which is by the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and half [02677] mount [02022] Gilead [01568], and the cities [05892] thereof, gave [05414] I unto the Reubenites [07206] and to the Gadites [01425]. 5 3 13 And the rest [03499] of Gilead [01568], and all Bashan [01316], being the kingdom [04467] of Og [05747], gave [05414] I unto the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519]; all the region [02256] of Argob [0709], with all Bashan [01316], which [01931] was called [07121] the land [0776] of giants [07497]. 5 3 14 Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519] took [03947] all the country [02256] of Argob [0709] unto the coasts [01366] of Geshuri [01651] and Maachathi [04602]; and called [07121] them after his own name [08034], Bashanhavothjair [01316] [02334], unto this day [03117]. 5 3 15 And I gave [05414] Gilead [01568] unto Machir [04353]. 5 3 16 And unto the Reubenites [07206] and unto the Gadites [01425] I gave [05414] from Gilead [01568] even unto the river [05158] Arnon [0769] half [08432] the valley [05158], and the border [01366] even unto the river [05158] Jabbok [02999], which is the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]; 5 3 17 The plain [06160] also, and Jordan [03383], and the coast [01366] thereof, from Chinnereth [03672] even unto the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], even the salt [04417] sea [03220], under Ashdothpisgah [0798] [0794] eastward [04217]. 5 3 18 And I commanded [06680] you at that time [06256], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given [05414] you this land [0776] to possess [03423] it: ye shall pass over [05674] armed [02502] before [06440] your brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], all that are meet [01121] for the war [02428]. 5 3 19 But your wives [0802], and your little ones [02945], and your cattle [04735], (for I know [03045] that ye have much [07227] cattle [04735],) shall abide [03427] in your cities [05892] which I have given [05414] you; 5 3 20 Until the LORD [03068] have given rest [05117] unto your brethren [0251], as well as unto you, and until they also possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given [05414] them beyond [05676] Jordan [03383]: and then shall ye return [07725] every man [0376] unto his possession [03425], which I have given [05414] you. 5 3 21 And I commanded [06680] Joshua [03091] at that time [06256], saying [0559], Thine eyes [05869] have seen [07200] all that the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath done [06213] unto these two [08147] kings [04428]: so shall the LORD [03068] do [06213] unto all the kingdoms [04467] whither thou passest [05674]. 5 3 22 Ye shall not fear [03372] them: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] he shall fight [03898] for you. 5 3 23 And I besought [02603] the LORD [03068] at that time [06256], saying [0559], 5 3 24 O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], thou hast begun [02490] to shew [07200] thy servant [05650] thy greatness [01433], and thy mighty [02389] hand [03027]: for what God [0410] is there in heaven [08064] or in earth [0776], that can do [06213] according to thy works [04639], and according to thy might [01369]? 5 3 25 I pray thee, let me go over [05674], and see [07200] the good [02896] land [0776] that is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], that goodly [02896] mountain [02022], and Lebanon [03844]. 5 3 26 But the LORD [03068] was wroth [05674] with me for your sakes, and would not hear [08085] me: and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Let it suffice [07227] thee; speak [01696] no more [03254] unto me of this matter [01697]. 5 3 27 Get thee up [05927] into the top [07218] of Pisgah [06449], and lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] westward [03220], and northward [06828], and southward [08486], and eastward [04217], and behold [07200] it with thine eyes [05869]: for thou shalt not go over [05674] this Jordan [03383]. 5 3 28 But charge [06680] Joshua [03091], and encourage [02388] him, and strengthen [0553] him: for he shall go over [05674] before [06440] this people [05971], and he shall cause them to inherit [05157] the land [0776] which thou shalt see [07200]. 5 3 29 So we abode [03427] in the valley [01516] over against [04136] Bethpeor [01047]. 5 4 1 Now therefore hearken [08085], O Israel [03478], unto the statutes [02706] and unto the judgments [04941], which I teach [03925] you, for to do [06213] them, that ye may live [02421], and go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] giveth [05414] you. 5 4 2 Ye shall not add [03254] unto the word [01697] which I command [06680] you, neither shall ye diminish [01639] ought from it, that ye may keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430] which I command [06680] you. 5 4 3 Your eyes [05869] have seen [07200] what the LORD [03068] did [06213] because of Baalpeor [01187]: for all the men [0376] that followed [0310] [01980] Baalpeor [01187], the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath destroyed [08045] them from among [07130] you. 5 4 4 But ye that did cleave [01695] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430] are alive [02416] every one of you this day [03117]. 5 4 5 Behold [07200], I have taught [03925] you statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], even as [0834] the LORD [03068] my God [0430] commanded [06680] me, that ye should do [06213] so in [07130] the land [0776] whither ye go [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 4 6 Keep [08104] therefore and do [06213] them; for this is your wisdom [02451] and your understanding [0998] in the sight [05869] of the nations [05971], which shall hear [08085] all these statutes [02706], and say [0559], Surely this great [01419] nation [01471] is a wise [02450] and understanding [0995] people [05971]. 5 4 7 For what nation [01471] is there so great [01419], who hath God [0430] so nigh [07138] unto them, as the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is in all things that we call [07121] upon him for? 5 4 8 And what nation [01471] is there so great [01419], that hath statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] so righteous [06662] as all this law [08451], which I set [05414] before [06440] you this day [03117]? 5 4 9 Only take heed [08104] to thyself, and keep [08104] thy soul [05315] diligently [03966], lest thou forget [07911] the things [01697] which thine eyes [05869] have seen [07200], and lest they depart [05493] from thy heart [03824] all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]: but teach [03045] them thy sons [01121], and thy sons [01121]' sons [01121]; 5 4 10 Specially the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722], when the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Gather [06950] me the people [05971] together [06950], and I will make them hear [08085] my words [01697], that they may learn [03925] to fear [03372] me all the days [03117] that they shall live [02416] upon the earth [0127], and that they may teach [03925] their children [01121]. 5 4 11 And ye came near [07126] and stood [05975] under the mountain [02022]; and the mountain [02022] burned [01197] with fire [0784] unto the midst [03820] of heaven [08064], with darkness [06205], clouds [06051], and thick darkness [02822]. 5 4 12 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto you out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]: ye heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the words [01697], but saw [07200] no similitude [08544]; only [02108] ye heard a voice [06963]. 5 4 13 And he declared [05046] unto you his covenant [01285], which he commanded [06680] you to perform [06213], even ten [06235] commandments [01697]; and he wrote [03789] them upon two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068]. 5 4 14 And the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] me at that time [06256] to teach [03925] you statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], that ye might do [06213] them in the land [0776] whither ye go over [05674] to possess [03423] it. 5 4 15 Take ye therefore good [03966] heed [08104] unto yourselves [05315]; for ye saw [07200] no manner of similitude [08544] on the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto you in Horeb [02722] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]: 5 4 16 Lest ye corrupt [07843] yourselves, and make [06213] you a graven image [06459], the similitude [08544] of any figure [05566], the likeness [08403] of male [02145] or female [05347], 5 4 17 The likeness [08403] of any beast [0929] that is on the earth [0776], the likeness [08403] of any winged [03671] fowl [06833] that flieth [05774] in the air [08064], 5 4 18 The likeness [08403] of any thing that creepeth [07430] on the ground [0127], the likeness [08403] of any fish [01710] that is in the waters [04325] beneath [08478] the earth [0776]: 5 4 19 And lest thou lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] unto heaven [08064], and when thou seest [07200] the sun [08121], and the moon [03394], and the stars [03556], even all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], shouldest be driven [05080] to worship [07812] them, and serve [05647] them, which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath divided [02505] unto all nations [05971] under the whole heaven [08064]. 5 4 20 But the LORD [03068] hath taken [03947] you, and brought you forth [03318] out of the iron [01270] furnace [03564], even out of Egypt [04714], to be unto him a people [05971] of inheritance [05159], as ye are this day [03117]. 5 4 21 Furthermore the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with me for your sakes [01697], and sware [07650] that I should not go over [05674] Jordan [03383], and that I should not go [0935] in unto that good [02896] land [0776], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159]: 5 4 22 But I must die [04191] in this land [0776], I must not go over [05674] Jordan [03383]: but ye shall go over [05674], and possess [03423] that good [02896] land [0776]. 5 4 23 Take heed [08104] unto yourselves, lest ye forget [07911] the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which he made [03772] with you, and make [06213] you a graven image [06459], or the likeness [08544] of any [03605] thing, which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath forbidden [06680] thee. 5 4 24 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is a consuming [0398] fire [0784], even a jealous [07067] God [0410]. 5 4 25 When thou shalt beget [03205] children [01121], and children's [01121] children [01121], and ye shall have remained long [03462] in the land [0776], and shall corrupt [07843] yourselves, and make [06213] a graven image [06459], or the likeness [08544] of any thing, and shall do [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to provoke him to anger [03707]: 5 4 26 I call [05749] heaven [08064] and earth [0776] to witness [05749] against you this day [03117], that ye shall soon [04118] utterly [06] perish [06] from off the land [0776] whereunto ye go over [05674] Jordan [03383] to possess [03423] it; ye shall not prolong [0748] your days [03117] upon it, but shall utterly [08045] be destroyed [08045]. 5 4 27 And the LORD [03068] shall scatter [06327] you among the nations [05971], and ye shall be left [07604] few [04962] in number [04557] among the heathen [01471], whither the LORD [03068] shall lead [05090] you. 5 4 28 And there ye shall serve [05647] gods [0430], the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027], wood [06086] and stone [068], which neither see [07200], nor hear [08085], nor eat [0398], nor smell [07306]. 5 4 29 But if from thence thou shalt seek [01245] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], thou shalt find [04672] him, if thou seek [01875] him with all thy heart [03824] and with all thy soul [05315]. 5 4 30 When thou art in tribulation [06862], and all these things [01697] are come [04672] upon thee, even in the latter [0319] days [03117], if thou turn [07725] to the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and shalt be obedient [08085] unto his voice [06963]; 5 4 31 (For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is a merciful [07349] God [0410];) he will not forsake [07503] thee, neither destroy [07843] thee, nor forget [07911] the covenant [01285] of thy fathers [01] which he sware [07650] unto them. 5 4 32 For ask [07592] now of the days [03117] that are past [07223], which were [01961] before [06440] thee, since the day [03117] that God [0430] created [01254] man [0120] upon the earth [0776], and ask from the one side [07097] of heaven [08064] unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great [01419] thing [01697] is, or hath been heard [08085] like it? 5 4 33 Did ever people [05971] hear [08085] the voice [06963] of God [0430] speaking out [01696] of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], as thou hast heard [08085], and live [02421]? 5 4 34 Or hath God [0430] assayed [05254] to go [0935] and take [03947] him a nation [01471] from the midst [07130] of another nation [01471], by temptations [04531], by signs [0226], and by wonders [04159], and by war [04421], and by a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and by a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and by great [01419] terrors [04172], according to all that the LORD [03068] your God [0430] did [06213] for you in Egypt [04714] before your eyes [05869]? 5 4 35 Unto thee it was shewed [07200], that thou mightest know [03045] that the LORD [03068] he is God [0430]; there is none else [05750] beside him [0905]. 5 4 36 Out of heaven [08064] he made thee to hear [08085] his voice [06963], that he might instruct [03256] thee: and upon earth [0776] he shewed [07200] thee his great [01419] fire [0784]; and thou heardest [08085] his words [01697] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]. 5 4 37 And because he loved [0157] thy fathers [01], therefore he chose [0977] their seed [02233] after [0310] them, and brought thee out [03318] in his sight [06440] with his mighty [01419] power [03581] out of Egypt [04714]; 5 4 38 To drive out [03423] nations [01471] from before [06440] thee greater [01419] and mightier [06099] than thou art, to bring [0935] thee in, to give [05414] thee their land [0776] for an inheritance [05159], as it is this day [03117]. 5 4 39 Know [03045] therefore this day [03117], and consider [07725] it in thine heart [03824], that the LORD [03068] he is God [0430] in heaven [08064] above [04605], and upon the earth [0776] beneath: there is none else. 5 4 40 Thou shalt keep [08104] therefore his statutes [02706], and his commandments [04687], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], that it may go well [03190] with thee, and with thy children [01121] after [0310] thee, and that thou mayest prolong [0748] thy days [03117] upon the earth [0127], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, for ever. 5 4 41 Then Moses [04872] severed [0914] three [07969] cities [05892] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] toward the sunrising [08121] [04217]; 5 4 42 That the slayer [07523] might flee [05127] thither, which should kill [07523] his neighbour [07453] unawares [01097] [01847], and hated [08130] him not in times [08543] past [08032]; and that fleeing [05127] unto one [0259] of these [0411] cities [05892] he might live [02425]: 5 4 43 Namely, Bezer [01221] in the wilderness [04057], in the plain [04334] country [0776], of the Reubenites [07206]; and Ramoth [07216] in Gilead [01568], of the Gadites [01425]; and Golan [01474] in Bashan [01316], of the Manassites [04520]. 5 4 44 And this is the law [08451] which Moses [04872] set [07760] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 5 4 45 These are the testimonies [05713], and the statutes [02706], and the judgments [04941], which Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], after they came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], 5 4 46 On this side [05676] Jordan [03383], in the valley [01516] over against [04136] Bethpeor [01047], in the land [0776] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], who dwelt [03427] at Heshbon [02809], whom Moses [04872] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] smote [05221], after they were come forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]: 5 4 47 And they possessed [03423] his land [0776], and the land [0776] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which were on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] toward the sunrising [04217] [08121]; 5 4 48 From Aroer [06177], which is by the bank [08193] of the river [05158] Arnon [0769], even unto mount [02022] Sion [07865], which is Hermon [02768], 5 4 49 And all the plain [06160] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] eastward [04217], even unto the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], under the springs [0794] of Pisgah [06449]. 5 5 1 And Moses [04872] called [07121] all Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], O Israel [03478], the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] which I speak [01696] in your ears [0241] this day [03117], that ye may learn [03925] them, and keep [08104], and do [06213] them. 5 5 2 The LORD [03068] our God [0430] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with us in Horeb [02722]. 5 5 3 The LORD [03068] made [03772] not this covenant [01285] with our fathers [01], but with us [0587], even us, who are all of us [0428] here alive [02416] this day [03117]. 5 5 4 The LORD [03068] talked [01696] with you face [06440] to face [06440] in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], 5 5 5 (I stood [05975] between the LORD [03068] and you at that time [06256], to shew [05046] you the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: for ye were afraid [03372] by reason [06440] of the fire [0784], and went not up [05927] into the mount [02022];) saying [0559], 5 5 6 I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which brought thee out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]. 5 5 7 Thou shalt have none other [0312] gods [0430] before [06440] me. 5 5 8 Thou shalt not make [06213] thee any graven image [06459], or any likeness [08544] of any thing that is in heaven [08064] above [04605], or that is in the earth [0776] beneath, or that is in the waters [04325] beneath the earth [0776]: 5 5 9 Thou shalt not bow down [07812] thyself unto them, nor serve [05647] them: for I the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] am a jealous [07067] God [0410], visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121] unto the third [08029] and fourth [07256] generation of them that hate [08130] me, 5 5 10 And shewing [06213] mercy [02617] unto thousands [0505] of them that love [0157] me and keep [08104] my commandments [04687]. 5 5 11 Thou shalt not take [05375] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in vain [07723]: for the LORD [03068] will not hold him guiltless [05352] that taketh [05375] his name [08034] in vain [07723]. 5 5 12 Keep [08104] the sabbath [07676] day [03117] to sanctify [06942] it, as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath commanded [06680] thee. 5 5 13 Six [08337] days [03117] thou shalt labour [05647], and do [06213] all thy work [04399]: 5 5 14 But the seventh [07637] day [03117] is the sabbath [07676] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: in it thou shalt not do [06213] any work [04399], thou, nor thy son [01121], nor thy daughter [01323], nor thy manservant [05650], nor thy maidservant [0519], nor thine ox [07794], nor thine ass [02543], nor any of thy cattle [0929], nor thy stranger [01616] that is within thy gates [08179]; that thy manservant [05650] and thy maidservant [0519] may rest [05117] as well as thou. 5 5 15 And remember [02142] that thou wast a servant [05650] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought [03318] thee out thence through a mighty [02389] hand [03027] and by a stretched out [05186] arm [02220]: therefore the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] thee to keep [06213] the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. 5 5 16 Honour [03513] thy father [01] and thy mother [0517], as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath commanded [06680] thee; that thy days [03117] may be prolonged [0748], and that it may go well [03190] with thee, in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee. 5 5 17 Thou shalt not kill [07523]. 5 5 18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery [05003]. 5 5 19 Neither shalt thou steal [01589]. 5 5 20 Neither shalt thou bear [06030] false [07723] witness [05707] against thy neighbour [07453]. 5 5 21 Neither shalt thou desire [02530] thy neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], neither shalt thou covet [0183] thy neighbour's [07453] house [01004], his field [07704], or his manservant [05650], or his maidservant [0519], his ox [07794], or his ass [02543], or any thing that is thy neighbour's [07453]. 5 5 22 These words [01697] the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto all your assembly [06951] in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], of the cloud [06051], and of the thick darkness [06205], with a great [01419] voice [06963]: and he added no more [03254]. And he wrote [03789] them in two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068], and delivered [05414] them unto me. 5 5 23 And it came to pass, when ye heard [08085] the voice [06963] out of the midst [08432] of the darkness [02822], (for the mountain [02022] did burn [01197] with fire [0784],) that ye came near [07126] unto me, even all the heads [07218] of your tribes [07626], and your elders [02205]; 5 5 24 And ye said [0559], Behold, the LORD [03068] our God [0430] hath shewed [07200] us his glory [03519] and his greatness [01433], and we have heard [08085] his voice [06963] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]: we have seen [07200] this day [03117] that God [0430] doth talk [01696] with man [0120], and he liveth [02425]. 5 5 25 Now therefore why should we die [04191]? for this great [01419] fire [0784] will consume [0398] us: if we hear [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430] any more [03254], then we shall die [04191]. 5 5 26 For who is there of all flesh [01320], that hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the living [02416] God [0430] speaking [01696] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], as we have, and lived [02421]? 5 5 27 Go thou near [07126], and hear [08085] all that the LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall say [0559]: and speak [01696] thou unto us all that the LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall speak [01696] unto thee; and we will hear [08085] it, and do [06213] it. 5 5 28 And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of your words [01697], when ye spake [01696] unto me; and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, I have heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the words [01697] of this people [05971], which they have spoken [01696] unto thee: they have well [03190] said all that they have spoken [01696]. 5 5 29 O that there were such [02088] an [04310] heart [03824] in them [05414], that they would fear [03372] me, and keep [08104] all my commandments [04687] always [03117], that it might be well [03190] with them, and with their children [01121] for ever [05769]! 5 5 30 Go [03212] say [0559] to them, Get [07725] you into your tents [0168] again [07725]. 5 5 31 But as for thee, stand [05975] thou here by me [05978], and I will speak [01696] unto thee all the commandments [04687], and the statutes [02706], and the judgments [04941], which thou shalt teach [03925] them, that they may do [06213] them in the land [0776] which I give [05414] them to possess [03423] it. 5 5 32 Ye shall observe [08104] to do [06213] therefore as the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath commanded [06680] you: ye shall not turn aside [05493] to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040]. 5 5 33 Ye shall walk [03212] in all the ways [01870] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath commanded [06680] you, that ye may live [02421], and that it may be well [02895] with you, and that ye may prolong [0748] your days [03117] in the land [0776] which ye shall possess [03423]. 5 6 1 Now these are the commandments [04687], the statutes [02706], and the judgments [04941], which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] commanded [06680] to teach [03925] you, that ye might do [06213] them in the land [0776] whither ye go [05674] to possess [03423] it: 5 6 2 That thou mightest fear [03372] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] all his statutes [02708] and his commandments [04687], which I command [06680] thee, thou, and thy son [01121], and thy son's [01121] son [01121], all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]; and that thy days [03117] may be prolonged [0748]. 5 6 3 Hear [08085] therefore, O Israel [03478], and observe [08104] to do [06213] it; that it may be well [03190] with thee, and that ye may increase [07235] mightily [03966], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee, in the land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 5 6 4 Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: The LORD [03068] our God [0430] is one [0259] LORD [03068]: 5 6 5 And thou shalt love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315], and with all thy might [03966]. 5 6 6 And these words [01697], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], shall be in thine heart [03824]: 5 6 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently [08150] unto thy children [01121], and shalt talk [01696] of them when thou sittest [03427] in thine house [01004], and when thou walkest [03212] by the way [01870], and when thou liest down [07901], and when thou risest up [06965]. 5 6 8 And thou shalt bind [07194] them for a sign [0226] upon thine hand [03027], and they shall be as frontlets [02903] between thine eyes [05869]. 5 6 9 And thou shalt write [03789] them upon the posts [04201] of thy house [01004], and on thy gates [08179]. 5 6 10 And it shall be, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall have brought [0935] thee into the land [0776] which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290], to give [05414] thee great [01419] and goodly [02896] cities [05892], which thou buildedst [01129] not, 5 6 11 And houses [01004] full [04392] of all good [02898] things, which thou filledst [04390] not, and wells [0953] digged [02672], which thou diggedst [02672] not, vineyards [03754] and olive trees [02132], which thou plantedst [05193] not; when thou shalt have eaten [0398] and be full [07646]; 5 6 12 Then beware [08104] lest thou forget [07911] the LORD [03068], which brought thee forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]. 5 6 13 Thou shalt fear [03372] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and serve [05647] him, and shalt swear [07650] by his name [08034]. 5 6 14 Ye shall not go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], of the gods [0430] of the people [05971] which are round about [05439] you; 5 6 15 (For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is a jealous [07067] God [0410] among [07130] you) lest the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] be kindled [02734] against thee, and destroy [08045] thee from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 5 6 16 Ye shall not tempt [05254] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], as ye tempted [05254] him in Massah [04532]. 5 6 17 Ye shall diligently [08104] keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and his testimonies [05713], and his statutes [02706], which he hath commanded [06680] thee. 5 6 18 And thou shalt do [06213] that which is right [03477] and good [02896] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: that it may be well [03190] with thee, and that thou mayest go in [0935] and possess [03423] the good [02896] land [0776] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], 5 6 19 To cast out [01920] all thine enemies [0341] from before [06440] thee, as the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696]. 5 6 20 And when thy son [01121] asketh [07592] thee in time to come [04279], saying [0559], What mean the testimonies [05713], and the statutes [02706], and the judgments [04941], which the LORD [03068] our God [0430] hath commanded [06680] you? 5 6 21 Then thou shalt say [0559] unto thy son [01121], We were Pharaoh's [06547] bondmen [05650] in Egypt [04714]; and the LORD [03068] brought us out [03318] of Egypt [04714] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027]: 5 6 22 And the LORD [03068] shewed [05414] signs [0226] and wonders [04159], great [01419] and sore [07451], upon Egypt [04714], upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his household [01004], before our eyes [05869]: 5 6 23 And he brought us out [03318] from thence, that he might bring us in [0935], to give [05414] us the land [0776] which he sware [07650] unto our fathers [01]. 5 6 24 And the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] us to do [06213] all these statutes [02706], to fear [03372] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], for our good [02896] always [03117], that he might preserve us alive [02421], as it is at this day [03117]. 5 6 25 And it shall be our righteousness [06666], if we observe [08104] to do [06213] all these [02063] commandments [04687] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], as he hath commanded [06680] us. 5 7 1 When the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bring [0935] thee into the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it, and hath cast out [05394] many [07227] nations [01471] before [06440] thee, the Hittites [02850], and the Girgashites [01622], and the Amorites [0567], and the Canaanites [03669], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983], seven [07651] nations [01471] greater [07227] and mightier [06099] than thou; 5 7 2 And when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] them before [06440] thee; thou shalt smite [05221] them, and utterly [02763] destroy [02763] them; thou shalt make [03772] no covenant [01285] with them, nor shew mercy [02603] unto them: 5 7 3 Neither shalt thou make marriages [02859] with them; thy daughter [01323] thou shalt not give [05414] unto his son [01121], nor his daughter [01323] shalt thou take [03947] unto thy son [01121]. 5 7 4 For they will turn away [05493] thy son [01121] from following [0310] me, that they may serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430]: so will the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] be kindled [02734] against you, and destroy [08045] thee suddenly [04118]. 5 7 5 But thus shall ye deal [06213] with them; ye shall destroy [05422] their altars [04196], and break down [07665] their images [04676], and cut down [01438] their groves [0842], and burn [08313] their graven images [06456] with fire [0784]. 5 7 6 For thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] thee to be a special [05459] people [05971] unto himself, above all people [05971] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 5 7 7 The LORD [03068] did not set his love [02836] upon you, nor choose [0977] you, because ye were more [07230] in number than any people [05971]; for ye were the fewest [04592] of all people [05971]: 5 7 8 But because the LORD [03068] loved [0160] you, and because he would keep [08104] the oath [07621] which he had sworn [07650] unto your fathers [01], hath the LORD [03068] brought you out [03318] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and redeemed [06299] you out of the house [01004] of bondmen [05650], from the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714]. 5 7 9 Know [03045] therefore that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], he is God [0430], the faithful [0539] God [0410], which keepeth [08104] covenant [01285] and mercy [02617] with them that love [0157] him and keep [08104] his commandments [04687] to a thousand [0505] generations [01755]; 5 7 10 And repayeth [07999] them that hate [08130] him to their face [06440], to destroy [06] them: he will not be slack [0309] to him that hateth [08130] him, he will repay [07999] him to his face [06440]. 5 7 11 Thou shalt therefore keep [08104] the commandments [04687], and the statutes [02706], and the judgments [04941], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to do [06213] them. 5 7 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if [06118] ye hearken [08085] to these judgments [04941], and keep [08104], and do [06213] them, that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall keep [08104] unto thee the covenant [01285] and the mercy [02617] which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01]: 5 7 13 And he will love [0157] thee, and bless [01288] thee, and multiply [07235] thee: he will also bless [01288] the fruit [06529] of thy womb [0990], and the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], thy corn [01715], and thy wine [08492], and thine oil [03323], the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], and the flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629], in the land [0127] which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01] to give [05414] thee. 5 7 14 Thou shalt be blessed [01288] above all people [05971]: there shall not be male [06135] or female barren [06135] among you, or among your cattle [0929]. 5 7 15 And the LORD [03068] will take away [05493] from thee all sickness [02483], and will put [07760] none of the evil [07451] diseases [04064] of Egypt [04714], which thou knowest [03045], upon thee; but will lay [05414] them upon all them that hate [08130] thee. 5 7 16 And thou shalt consume [0398] all the people [05971] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] thee; thine eye [05869] shall have no pity [02347] upon them: neither shalt thou serve [05647] their gods [0430]; for that will be a snare [04170] unto thee. 5 7 17 If thou shalt say [0559] in thine heart [03824], These nations [01471] are more [07227] than I; how [0349] can [03201] I dispossess [03423] them? 5 7 18 Thou shalt not be afraid [03372] of them: but shalt well [02142] remember [02142] what the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] did [06213] unto Pharaoh [06547], and unto all Egypt [04714]; 5 7 19 The great [01419] temptations [04531] which thine eyes [05869] saw [07200], and the signs [0226], and the wonders [04159], and the mighty [02389] hand [03027], and the stretched out [05186] arm [02220], whereby the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought thee out [03318]: so shall the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] do [06213] unto all the people [05971] of whom thou art afraid [03373] [06440]. 5 7 20 Moreover the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will send [07971] the hornet [06880] among them, until they that are left [07604], and hide [05641] themselves from [06440] thee, be destroyed [06]. 5 7 21 Thou shalt not be affrighted [06206] at [06440] them: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is among [07130] you, a mighty [01419] God [0410] and terrible [03372]. 5 7 22 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will put out [05394] those [0411] nations [01471] before [06440] thee by little [04592] and little [04592]: thou mayest [03201] not consume [03615] them at once [04118], lest the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] increase [07235] upon thee. 5 7 23 But the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall deliver [05414] them unto thee [06440], and shall destroy [01949] them with a mighty [01419] destruction [04103], until they be destroyed [08045]. 5 7 24 And he shall deliver [05414] their kings [04428] into thine hand [03027], and thou shalt destroy [06] their name [08034] from under heaven [08064]: there shall no man [0376] be able to stand [03320] before [06440] thee, until thou have destroyed [08045] them. 5 7 25 The graven images [06456] of their gods [0430] shall ye burn [08313] with fire [0784]: thou shalt not desire [02530] the silver [03701] or gold [02091] that is on them, nor take [03947] it unto thee, lest thou be snared [03369] therein: for it is an abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 7 26 Neither shalt thou bring [0935] an abomination [08441] into thine house [01004], lest thou be a cursed thing [02764] like it: but thou shalt utterly [08262] detest [08262] it, and thou shalt utterly [08581] abhor [08581] it; for it is a cursed thing [02764]. 5 8 1 All the commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117] shall ye observe [08104] to do [06213], that ye may live [02421], and multiply [07235], and go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto your fathers [01]. 5 8 2 And thou shalt remember [02142] all the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] led [03212] thee these forty [0705] years [08141] in the wilderness [04057], to humble [06031] thee, and to prove [05254] thee, to know [03045] what was in thine heart [03824], whether thou wouldest keep [08104] his commandments [04687], or no. 5 8 3 And he humbled [06031] thee, and suffered thee to hunger [07456], and fed [0398] thee with manna [04478], which thou knewest [03045] not, neither did thy fathers [01] know [03045]; that he might make thee know [03045] that man [0120] doth not live [02421] by bread [03899] only [0905], but by every word that proceedeth [04161] out of the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] doth man [0120] live [02421]. 5 8 4 Thy raiment [08071] waxed not old [01086] upon thee, neither did thy foot [07272] swell [01216], these forty [0705] years [08141]. 5 8 5 Thou shalt also consider [03045] in [05973] thine heart [03824], that, as a man [0376] chasteneth [03256] his son [01121], so the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] chasteneth [03256] thee. 5 8 6 Therefore thou shalt keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], and to fear [03372] him. 5 8 7 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] bringeth [0935] thee into a good [02896] land [0776], a land [0776] of brooks [05158] of water [04325], of fountains [05869] and depths [08415] that spring out [03318] of valleys [01237] and hills [02022]; 5 8 8 A land [0776] of wheat [02406], and barley [08184], and vines [01612], and fig trees [08384], and pomegranates [07416]; a land [0776] of oil [08081] olive [02132], and honey [01706]; 5 8 9 A land [0776] wherein [0834] thou shalt eat [0398] bread [03899] without [03808] scarceness [04544], thou shalt not lack [02637] any thing in it; a land [0776] whose stones [068] are iron [01270], and out of whose hills [02042] thou mayest dig [02672] brass [05178]. 5 8 10 When thou hast eaten [0398] and art full [07646], then thou shalt bless [01288] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] for the good [02896] land [0776] which he hath given [05414] thee. 5 8 11 Beware [08104] that thou forget [07911] not the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], in not keeping [08104] his commandments [04687], and his judgments [04941], and his statutes [02708], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]: 5 8 12 Lest when thou hast eaten [0398] and art full [07646], and hast built [01129] goodly [02896] houses [01004], and dwelt [03427] therein; 5 8 13 And when thy herds [01241] and thy flocks [06629] multiply [07235], and thy silver [03701] and thy gold [02091] is multiplied [07235], and all that thou hast is multiplied [07235]; 5 8 14 Then thine heart [03824] be lifted up [07311], and thou forget [07911] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which brought thee forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]; 5 8 15 Who led [03212] thee through that great [01419] and terrible [03372] wilderness [04057], wherein were fiery [08314] serpents [05175], and scorpions [06137], and drought [06774], where there was no water [04325]; who brought thee forth [03318] water [04325] out of the rock [06697] of flint [02496]; 5 8 16 Who fed [0398] thee in the wilderness [04057] with manna [04478], which thy fathers [01] knew [03045] not, that he might humble [06031] thee, and that he might prove [05254] thee, to do thee good [03190] at thy latter end [0319]; 5 8 17 And thou say [0559] in thine heart [03824], My power [03581] and the might [06108] of mine hand [03027] hath gotten [06213] me this wealth [02428]. 5 8 18 But thou shalt remember [02142] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for it is he that giveth [05414] thee power [03581] to get [06213] wealth [02428], that he may establish [06965] his covenant [01285] which he sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], as it is this day [03117]. 5 8 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all [07911] forget [07911] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and walk [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], and serve [05647] them, and worship [07812] them, I testify [05749] against you this day [03117] that ye shall surely [06] perish [06]. 5 8 20 As the nations [01471] which the LORD [03068] destroyeth [06] before your face [06440], so shall ye perish [06]; because [06118] ye would not be obedient [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 5 9 1 Hear [08085], O Israel [03478]: Thou art to pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] this day [03117], to go in [0935] to possess [03423] nations [01471] greater [01419] and mightier [06099] than thyself, cities [05892] great [01419] and fenced up [01219] to heaven [08064], 5 9 2 A people [05971] great [01419] and tall [07311], the children [01121] of the Anakims [06062], whom thou knowest [03045], and of whom thou hast heard [08085] say, Who can stand [03320] before [06440] the children [01121] of Anak [06061]! 5 9 3 Understand [03045] therefore this day [03117], that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is he which goeth over [05674] before [06440] thee; as a consuming [0398] fire [0784] he shall destroy [08045] them, and he shall bring them down [03665] before thy face [06440]: so shalt thou drive them out [03423], and destroy [06] them quickly [04118], as the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] unto thee. 5 9 4 Speak [0559] not thou in thine heart [03824], after that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath cast them out [01920] from before [06440] thee, saying [0559], For my righteousness [06666] the LORD [03068] hath brought me in [0935] to possess [03423] this land [0776]: but for the wickedness [07564] of these nations [01471] the LORD [03068] doth drive them out [03423] from before [06440] thee. 5 9 5 Not for thy righteousness [06666], or for the uprightness [03476] of thine heart [03824], dost thou go [0935] to possess [03423] their land [0776]: but for the wickedness [07564] of these nations [01471] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] doth drive them out [03423] from before [06440] thee, and that he may perform [06965] the word [01697] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290]. 5 9 6 Understand [03045] therefore, that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee not this good [02896] land [0776] to possess [03423] it for thy righteousness [06666]; for thou art a stiffnecked [06203] [07186] people [05971]. 5 9 7 Remember [02142], and forget [07911] not, how thou provokedst the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] to wrath [07107] in the wilderness [04057]: from [04480] the day [03117] that thou didst depart out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], until ye came [0935] unto this place [04725], ye have been rebellious [04784] against [05973] the LORD [03068]. 5 9 8 Also in Horeb [02722] ye provoked [07107] the LORD [03068] to wrath [07107], so that the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with you to have destroyed [08045] you. 5 9 9 When I was gone up [05927] into the mount [02022] to receive [03947] the tables [03871] of stone [068], even the tables [03871] of the covenant [01285] which the LORD [03068] made [03772] with you, then I abode [03427] in the mount [02022] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915], I neither did eat [0398] bread [03899] nor drink [08354] water [04325]: 5 9 10 And the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] unto me two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] written [03789] with the finger [0676] of God [0430]; and on them was written according to all the words [01697], which the LORD [03068] spake [01696] with you in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951]. 5 9 11 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915], that the LORD [03068] gave [05414] me the two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068], even the tables [03871] of the covenant [01285]. 5 9 12 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Arise [06965], get thee down [03381] quickly [04118] from hence; for thy people [05971] which thou hast brought forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] have corrupted [07843] themselves; they are quickly [04118] turned aside [05493] out of the way [01870] which I commanded [06680] them; they have made [06213] them a molten image [04541]. 5 9 13 Furthermore the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto me, saying [0559], I have seen [07200] this people [05971], and, behold, it is a stiffnecked [06203] [07186] people [05971]: 5 9 14 Let me alone [07503], that I may destroy [08045] them, and blot out [04229] their name [08034] from under heaven [08064]: and I will make [06213] of [0854] thee a nation [01471] mightier [06099] and greater [07227] than they. 5 9 15 So I turned [06437] and came down [03381] from the mount [02022], and the mount [02022] burned [01197] with fire [0784]: and the two [08147] tables [03871] of the covenant [01285] were in my two [08147] hands [03027]. 5 9 16 And I looked [07200], and, behold, ye had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and had made [06213] you a molten [04541] calf [05695]: ye had turned aside [05493] quickly [04118] out of the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] you. 5 9 17 And I took [08610] the two [08147] tables [03871], and cast [07993] them out of [05921] my two [08147] hands [03027], and brake [07665] them before your eyes [05869]. 5 9 18 And I fell down [05307] before [06440] the LORD [03068], as at the first [07223], forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]: I did neither eat [0398] bread [03899], nor drink [08354] water [04325], because of all your sins [02403] which ye sinned [02398], in doing [06213] wickedly [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707]. 5 9 19 For I was afraid [03025] of [06440] the anger [0639] and hot displeasure [02534], wherewith the LORD [03068] was wroth [07107] against you to destroy [08045] you. But the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] unto me at that time [06471] also. 5 9 20 And the LORD [03068] was very [03966] angry [0599] with Aaron [0175] to have destroyed [08045] him: and I prayed [06419] for Aaron [0175] also the same time [06256]. 5 9 21 And I took [03947] your sin [02403], the calf [05695] which ye had made [06213], and burnt [08313] it with fire [0784], and stamped [03807] it, and ground [02912] it very small [03190], even until it was as small [01854] as dust [06083]: and I cast [07993] the dust [06083] thereof into the brook [05158] that descended out [03381] of the mount [02022]. 5 9 22 And at Taberah [08404], and at Massah [04532], and at Kibrothhattaavah [06914], ye provoked the LORD [03068] to wrath [07107]. 5 9 23 Likewise when the LORD [03068] sent [07971] you from Kadeshbarnea [06947], saying [0559], Go up [05927] and possess [03423] the land [0776] which I have given [05414] you; then ye rebelled [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and ye believed [0539] him not, nor hearkened [08085] to his voice [06963]. 5 9 24 Ye have been rebellious [04784] against the LORD [03068] from the day [03117] that I knew [03045] you. 5 9 25 Thus I fell down [05307] before [06440] the LORD [03068] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915], as I fell down [05307] at the first; because the LORD [03068] had said [0559] he would destroy [08045] you. 5 9 26 I prayed [06419] therefore unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], destroy [07843] not thy people [05971] and thine inheritance [05159], which thou hast redeemed [06299] through thy greatness [01433], which thou hast brought forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027]. 5 9 27 Remember [02142] thy servants [05650], Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290]; look [06437] not unto the stubbornness [07190] of this people [05971], nor to their wickedness [07562], nor to their sin [02403]: 5 9 28 Lest the land [0776] whence thou broughtest us out [03318] say [0559], Because the LORD [03068] was not able [03201] to bring [0935] them into the land [0776] which he promised [01696] them, and because he hated [08135] them, he hath brought them out [03318] to slay [04191] them in the wilderness [04057]. 5 9 29 Yet they are thy people [05971] and thine inheritance [05159], which thou broughtest out [03318] by thy mighty [01419] power [03581] and by thy stretched out [05186] arm [02220]. 5 10 1 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Hew [06458] thee two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and come up [05927] unto me into the mount [02022], and make [06213] thee an ark [0727] of wood [06086]. 5 10 2 And I will write [03789] on the tables [03871] the words [01697] that were in the first [07223] tables [03871] which thou brakest [07665], and thou shalt put [07760] them in the ark [0727]. 5 10 3 And I made [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and hewed [06458] two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068] like unto the first [07223], and went up [05927] into the mount [02022], having the two [08147] tables [03871] in mine hand [03027]. 5 10 4 And he wrote [03789] on the tables [03871], according to the first [07223] writing [04385], the ten [06235] commandments [01697], which the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto you in the mount [02022] out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951]: and the LORD [03068] gave [05414] them unto me. 5 10 5 And I turned [06437] myself and came down [03381] from the mount [02022], and put [07760] the tables [03871] in the ark [0727] which I had made [06213]; and there they be, as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] me. 5 10 6 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took their journey [05265] from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan [0885] to Mosera [04149]: there Aaron [0175] died [04191], and there he was buried [06912]; and Eleazar [0499] his son [01121] ministered in the priest's office [03547] in his stead. 5 10 7 From thence they journeyed [05265] unto Gudgodah [01412]; and from Gudgodah [01412] to Jotbath [03193], a land [0776] of rivers [05158] of waters [04325]. 5 10 8 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] separated [0914] the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878], to bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], to stand [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068] to minister [08334] unto him, and to bless [01288] in his name [08034], unto this day [03117]. 5 10 9 Wherefore Levi [03878] hath no part [02506] nor inheritance [05159] with his brethren [0251]; the LORD [03068] is his inheritance [05159], according as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] promised [01696] him. 5 10 10 And I stayed [05975] in the mount [02022], according to the first [07223] time [03117], forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915]; and the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] unto me at that time [06471] also, and the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] thee. 5 10 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Arise [06965], take [03212] thy journey [04550] before [06440] the people [05971], that they may go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776], which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01] to give [05414] unto them. 5 10 12 And now, Israel [03478], what doth the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] require [07592] of thee, but to fear [03372] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to love [0157] him, and to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thy heart [03824] and with all thy soul [05315], 5 10 13 To keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], and his statutes [02708], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117] for thy good [02896]? 5 10 14 Behold, the heaven [08064] and the heaven [08064] of heavens [08064] is the LORD'S [03068] thy God [0430], the earth [0776] also, with all that therein is. 5 10 15 Only the LORD [03068] had a delight [02836] in thy fathers [01] to love [0157] them, and he chose [0977] their seed [02233] after [0310] them, even you above all people [05971], as it is this day [03117]. 5 10 16 Circumcise [04135] therefore the foreskin [06190] of your heart [03824], and be no more stiffnecked [06203] [07185]. 5 10 17 For the LORD [03068] your God [0430] is God [0430] of gods [0430], and Lord [0113] of lords [0113], a great [01419] God [0410], a mighty [01368], and a terrible [03372], which regardeth [05375] not persons [06440], nor taketh [03947] reward [07810]: 5 10 18 He doth execute [06213] the judgment [04941] of the fatherless [03490] and widow [0490], and loveth [0157] the stranger [01616], in giving [05414] him food [03899] and raiment [08071]. 5 10 19 Love [0157] ye therefore the stranger [01616]: for ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 5 10 20 Thou shalt fear [03372] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; him shalt thou serve [05647], and to him shalt thou cleave [01692], and swear [07650] by his name [08034]. 5 10 21 He is thy praise [08416], and he is thy God [0430], that hath done [06213] for thee these great [01419] and terrible things [03372], which thine eyes [05869] have seen [07200]. 5 10 22 Thy fathers [01] went down [03381] into Egypt [04714] with threescore and ten [07657] persons [05315]; and now the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath made [07760] thee as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064] for multitude [07230]. 5 11 1 Therefore thou shalt love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and keep [08104] his charge [04931], and his statutes [02708], and his judgments [04941], and his commandments [04687], alway [03117]. 5 11 2 And know [03045] ye this day [03117]: for I speak not with your children [01121] which have not known [03045], and which have not seen [07200] the chastisement [04148] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], his greatness [01433], his mighty [02389] hand [03027], and his stretched out [05186] arm [02220], 5 11 3 And his miracles [0226], and his acts [04639], which he did [06213] in the midst [08432] of Egypt [04714] unto Pharaoh [06547] the king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and unto all his land [0776]; 5 11 4 And what he did [06213] unto the army [02428] of Egypt [04714], unto their horses [05483], and to their chariots [07393]; how he made the water [04325] of the Red [05488] sea [03220] to overflow [06687] them [06440] as they pursued [07291] after [0310] you, and how the LORD [03068] hath destroyed [06] them unto this day [03117]; 5 11 5 And what he did [06213] unto you in the wilderness [04057], until ye came [0935] into this place [04725]; 5 11 6 And what he did [06213] unto Dathan [01885] and Abiram [048], the sons [01121] of Eliab [0446], the son [01121] of Reuben [07205]: how the earth [0776] opened [06475] her mouth [06310], and swallowed them up [01104], and their households [01004], and their tents [0168], and all the substance [03351] that was in their possession [07272], in the midst [07130] of all Israel [03478]: 5 11 7 But your eyes [05869] have seen [07200] all the great [01419] acts [04639] of the LORD [03068] which he did [06213]. 5 11 8 Therefore shall ye keep [08104] all the commandments [04687] which [0834] I command [06680] you this day [03117], that ye may be strong [02388], and go in [0935] and possess [03423] the land [0776], whither ye go [05674] to possess [03423] it; 5 11 9 And that ye may prolong [0748] your days [03117] in the land [0127], which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto your fathers [01] to give [05414] unto them and to their seed [02233], a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 5 11 10 For the land [0776], whither thou goest in [0935] to possess [03423] it, is not as the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from whence ye came out [03318], where thou sowedst [02232] thy seed [02233], and wateredst [08248] it with thy foot [07272], as a garden [01588] of herbs [03419]: 5 11 11 But the land [0776], whither ye go [05674] to possess [03423] it, is a land [0776] of hills [02022] and valleys [01237], and drinketh [08354] water [04325] of the rain [04306] of heaven [08064]: 5 11 12 A land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] careth for [01875]: the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] are always [08548] upon it, from the beginning [07225] of the year [08141] even unto the end [0319] of the year [08141]. 5 11 13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken [08085] diligently [08085] unto my commandments [04687] which I command [06680] you this day [03117], to love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and to serve [05647] him with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315], 5 11 14 That I will give [05414] you the rain [04306] of your land [0776] in his due season [06256], the first rain [03138] and the latter rain [04456], that thou mayest gather [0622] in thy corn [01715], and thy wine [08492], and thine oil [03323]. 5 11 15 And I will send [05414] grass [06212] in thy fields [07704] for thy cattle [0929], that thou mayest eat [0398] and be full [07646]. 5 11 16 Take heed [08104] to yourselves, that your heart [03824] be not deceived [06601], and ye turn aside [05493], and serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and worship [07812] them; 5 11 17 And then the LORD'S [03068] wrath [0639] be kindled [02734] against you, and he shut up [06113] the heaven [08064], that there be no rain [04306], and that the land [0127] yield [05414] not her fruit [02981]; and lest ye perish [06] quickly [04120] from off the good [02896] land [0776] which the LORD [03068] giveth [05414] you. 5 11 18 Therefore shall ye lay up [07760] these my words [01697] in your heart [03824] and in your soul [05315], and bind [07194] them for a sign [0226] upon your hand [03027], that they may be as frontlets [02903] between your eyes [05869]. 5 11 19 And ye shall teach [03925] them your children [01121], speaking [01696] of them when thou sittest [03427] in thine house [01004], and when thou walkest [03212] by the way [01870], when thou liest [07901] down, and when thou risest up [06965]. 5 11 20 And thou shalt write [03789] them upon the door posts [04201] of thine house [01004], and upon thy gates [08179]: 5 11 21 That your days [03117] may be multiplied [07235], and the days [03117] of your children [01121], in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto your fathers [01] to give [05414] them, as the days [03117] of heaven [08064] upon the earth [0776]. 5 11 22 For if ye shall diligently [08104] keep [08104] all these commandments [04687] which I command [06680] you, to do [06213] them, to love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to cleave [01692] unto him; 5 11 23 Then will the LORD [03068] drive out [03423] all these nations [01471] from before [06440] you, and ye shall possess [03423] greater [01419] nations [01471] and mightier [06099] than yourselves. 5 11 24 Every place [04725] whereon the soles [03709] of your feet [07272] shall tread [01869] shall be yours: from the wilderness [04057] and Lebanon [03844], from the river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578], even unto the uttermost [0314] sea [03220] shall your coast [01366] be. 5 11 25 There shall no man [0376] be able to stand [03320] before [06440] you: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] shall lay [05414] the fear [06343] of you and the dread [04172] of you upon [06440] all the land [0776] that ye shall tread [01869] upon, as he hath said [01696] unto you. 5 11 26 Behold [07200], I set [05414] before [06440] you this day [03117] a blessing [01293] and a curse [07045]; 5 11 27 A blessing [01293], if ye obey [08085] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which I command [06680] you this day [03117]: 5 11 28 And a curse [07045], if ye will not obey [08085] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], but turn aside [05493] out of the way [01870] which I command [06680] you this day [03117], to go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], which ye have not known [03045]. 5 11 29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath brought thee in [0935] unto the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it, that thou shalt put [05414] the blessing [01293] upon mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and the curse [07045] upon mount [02022] Ebal [05858]. 5 11 30 Are they not on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383], by [0310] the way [01870] where the sun [08121] goeth down [03996], in the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], which dwell [03427] in the champaign [06160] over against [04136] Gilgal [01537], beside [0681] the plains [0436] of Moreh [04176]? 5 11 31 For ye shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] to go in [0935] to possess [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] giveth [05414] you, and ye shall possess [03423] it, and dwell [03427] therein. 5 11 32 And ye shall observe [08104] to do [06213] all the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] which I set [05414] before [06440] you this day [03117]. 5 12 1 These are the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], which ye shall observe [08104] to do [06213] in the land [0776], which the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] giveth [05414] thee to possess [03423] it, all the days [03117] that ye live [02416] upon the earth [0127]. 5 12 2 Ye shall utterly [06] destroy [06] all the places [04725], wherein the nations [01471] which [0834] ye shall possess [03423] served [05647] their gods [0430], upon the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]: 5 12 3 And ye shall overthrow [05422] their altars [04196], and break [07665] their pillars [04676], and burn [08313] their groves [0842] with fire [0784]; and ye shall hew down [01438] the graven images [06456] of their gods [0430], and destroy [06] the names [08034] of them out of that place [04725]. 5 12 4 Ye shall not do so [06213] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 5 12 5 But unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] shall choose [0977] out of all your tribes [07626] to put [07760] his name [08034] there, even unto his habitation [07933] shall ye seek [01875], and thither thou shalt come [0935]: 5 12 6 And thither ye shall bring [0935] your burnt offerings [05930], and your sacrifices [02077], and your tithes [04643], and heave offerings [08641] of your hand [03027], and your vows [05088], and your freewill offerings [05071], and the firstlings [01062] of your herds [01241] and of your flocks [06629]: 5 12 7 And there ye shall eat [0398] before [06440] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and ye shall rejoice [08055] in all that ye put [04916] your hand [03027] unto, ye and your households [01004], wherein the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee. 5 12 8 Ye shall not do [06213] after all the things that we do [06213] here this day [03117], every man [0376] whatsoever is right [03477] in his own eyes [05869]. 5 12 9 For ye are not as yet come [0935] to the rest [04496] and to the inheritance [05159], which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] giveth [05414] you. 5 12 10 But when ye go over [05674] Jordan [03383], and dwell [03427] in the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] giveth you to inherit [05157], and when he giveth you rest [05117] from all your enemies [0341] round about [05439], so that ye dwell [03427] in safety [0983]; 5 12 11 Then there shall be a place [04725] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] shall choose [0977] to cause his name [08034] to dwell [07931] there; thither shall ye bring [0935] all that I command [06680] you; your burnt offerings [05930], and your sacrifices [02077], your tithes [04643], and the heave offering [08641] of your hand [03027], and all your choice [04005] vows [05088] which ye vow [05087] unto the LORD [03068]: 5 12 12 And ye shall rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], ye, and your sons [01121], and your daughters [01323], and your menservants [05650], and your maidservants [0519], and the Levite [03881] that is within your gates [08179]; forasmuch [03588] as he hath no part [02506] nor inheritance [05159] with you. 5 12 13 Take heed [08104] to thyself that thou offer [05927] not thy burnt offerings [05930] in every place [04725] that thou seest [07200]: 5 12 14 But in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977] in one [0259] of thy tribes [07626], there thou shalt offer [05927] thy burnt offerings [05930], and there thou shalt do [06213] all that I command [06680] thee. 5 12 15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill [02076] and eat [0398] flesh [01320] in all thy gates [08179], whatsoever thy soul [05315] lusteth after [0185], according to the blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] which he hath given [05414] thee: the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889] may eat [0398] thereof, as of the roebuck [06643], and as of the hart [0354]. 5 12 16 Only ye shall not eat [0398] the blood [01818]; ye shall pour [08210] it upon the earth [0776] as water [04325]. 5 12 17 Thou mayest [03201] not eat [0398] within thy gates [08179] the tithe [04643] of thy corn [01715], or of thy wine [08492], or of thy oil [03323], or the firstlings [01062] of thy herds [01241] or of thy flock [06629], nor any of thy vows [05088] which thou vowest [05087], nor thy freewill offerings [05071], or heave offering [08641] of thine hand [03027]: 5 12 18 But thou must eat [0398] them before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977], thou, and thy son [01121], and thy daughter [01323], and thy manservant [05650], and thy maidservant [0519], and the Levite [03881] that is within thy gates [08179]: and thou shalt rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in all that thou puttest [04916] thine hands [03027] unto. 5 12 19 Take heed [08104] to thyself that thou forsake [05800] not the Levite [03881] as long as thou livest [03117] upon the earth [0127]. 5 12 20 When the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall enlarge [07337] thy border [01366], as he hath promised [01696] thee, and thou shalt say [0559], I will eat [0398] flesh [01320], because thy soul [05315] longeth [0183] to eat [0398] flesh [01320]; thou mayest eat [0398] flesh [01320], whatsoever thy soul [05315] lusteth after [0185]. 5 12 21 If the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] to put [07760] his name [08034] there be too far [07368] from thee, then thou shalt kill [02076] of thy herd [01241] and of thy flock [06629], which the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] thee, as I have commanded [06680] thee, and thou shalt eat [0398] in thy gates [08179] whatsoever thy soul [05315] lusteth after [0185]. 5 12 22 Even as the roebuck [06643] and the hart [0354] is eaten [0398], so thou shalt eat [0398] them: the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889] shall eat [0398] of them alike [03162]. 5 12 23 Only be sure [02388] that thou eat [0398] not the blood [01818]: for the blood [01818] is the life [05315]; and thou mayest not eat [0398] the life [05315] with the flesh [01320]. 5 12 24 Thou shalt not eat [0398] it; thou shalt pour [08210] it upon the earth [0776] as water [04325]. 5 12 25 Thou shalt not eat [0398] it; that it may go well [03190] with thee, and with thy children [01121] after [0310] thee, when thou shalt do [06213] that which is right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 5 12 26 Only thy holy things [06944] which thou hast, and thy vows [05088], thou shalt take [05375], and go [0935] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977]: 5 12 27 And thou shalt offer [06213] thy burnt offerings [05930], the flesh [01320] and the blood [01818], upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: and the blood [01818] of thy sacrifices [02077] shall be poured out [08210] upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and thou shalt eat [0398] the flesh [01320]. 5 12 28 Observe [08104] and hear [08085] all these words [01697] which I command [06680] thee, that it may go well [03190] with thee, and with thy children [01121] after [0310] thee for [05704] ever [05769], when thou doest [06213] that which is good [02896] and right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 12 29 When the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall cut off [03772] the nations [01471] from before [06440] thee, whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] them, and thou succeedest [03423] them, and dwellest [03427] in their land [0776]; 5 12 30 Take heed [08104] to thyself that thou be not snared [05367] by following [0310] them, after [0310] that they be destroyed [08045] from before [06440] thee; and that thou enquire [01875] not after their gods [0430], saying [0559], How did these nations [01471] serve [05647] their gods [0430]? even so will I do [06213] likewise [01571]. 5 12 31 Thou shalt not do [06213] so unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for every abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068], which he hateth [08130], have they done [06213] unto their gods [0430]; for even their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] they have burnt [08313] in the fire [0784] to their gods [0430]. 5 12 32 What thing [01697] soever I command [06680] you, observe [08104] to do [06213] it: thou shalt not add [03254] thereto, nor diminish [01639] from it. 5 13 1 If there arise [06965] among [07130] you a prophet [05030], or a dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472], and giveth [05414] thee a sign [0226] or a wonder [04159], 5 13 2 And the sign [0226] or the wonder [04159] come to pass [0935], whereof he spake [01696] unto thee, saying [0559], Let us go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], which thou hast not known [03045], and let us serve [05647] them; 5 13 3 Thou shalt not hearken [08085] unto the words [01697] of that prophet [05030], or that dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] proveth [05254] you, to know [03045] whether ye [03426] love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430] with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315]. 5 13 4 Ye shall walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and fear [03372] him, and keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and obey [08085] his voice [06963], and ye shall serve [05647] him, and cleave [01692] unto him. 5 13 5 And that prophet [05030], or that dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472], shall be put to death [04191]; because he hath spoken [01696] to turn [05627] you away from the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and redeemed [06299] you out of the house [01004] of bondage [05650], to thrust [05080] thee out of the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] thee to walk in [03212]. So shalt thou put [01197] the evil [07451] away [01197] from the midst [07130] of thee. 5 13 6 If thy brother [0251], the son [01121] of thy mother [0517], or thy son [01121], or thy daughter [01323], or the wife [0802] of thy bosom [02436], or thy friend [07453], which is as thine own soul [05315], entice [05496] thee secretly [05643], saying [0559], Let us go [03212] and serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], which thou hast not known [03045], thou, nor thy fathers [01]; 5 13 7 Namely, of the gods [0430] of the people [05971] which are round about [05439] you, nigh [07138] unto thee, or far off [07350] from thee, from the one end [07097] of the earth [0776] even unto the other end [07097] of the earth [0776]; 5 13 8 Thou shalt not consent [014] unto him, nor hearken [08085] unto him; neither shall thine eye [05869] pity [02347] him, neither shalt thou spare [02550], neither shalt thou conceal [03680] him: 5 13 9 But thou shalt surely [02026] kill [02026] him; thine hand [03027] shall be first [07223] upon him to put him to death [04191], and afterwards [0314] the hand [03027] of all the people [05971]. 5 13 10 And thou shalt stone [05619] him with stones [068], that he die [04191]; because he hath sought [01245] to thrust thee away [05080] from the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which brought thee out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650]. 5 13 11 And all Israel [03478] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and shall do [06213] no more [03254] any [01697] such wickedness [07451] as this is among [07130] you. 5 13 12 If thou shalt hear [08085] say in one [0259] of thy cities [05892], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] thee to dwell [03427] there, saying [0559], 5 13 13 Certain men [0582], the children [01121] of Belial [01100], are gone out [03318] from among [07130] you, and have withdrawn [05080] the inhabitants [03427] of their city [05892], saying [0559], Let us go [03212] and serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], which ye have not known [03045]; 5 13 14 Then shalt thou enquire [01875], and make search [02713], and ask [07592] diligently [03190]; and, behold, if it be truth [0571], and the thing [01697] certain [03559], that such [02063] abomination [08441] is wrought [06213] among [07130] you; 5 13 15 Thou shalt surely [05221] smite [05221] the inhabitants [03427] of that city [05892] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], destroying it utterly [02763], and all that is therein, and the cattle [0929] thereof, with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 5 13 16 And thou shalt gather [06908] all the spoil [07998] of it into the midst [08432] of the street [07339] thereof, and shalt burn [08313] with fire [0784] the city [05892], and all the spoil [07998] thereof every whit [03632], for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: and it shall be an heap [08510] for ever [05769]; it shall not be built again [01129]. 5 13 17 And there shall cleave [01692] nought [03972] of the cursed thing [02764] to thine hand [03027]: that the LORD [03068] may turn [07725] from the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639], and shew [05414] thee mercy [07356], and have compassion [07355] upon thee, and multiply [07235] thee, as he hath sworn [07650] unto thy fathers [01]; 5 13 18 When thou shalt hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to do [06213] that which is right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 14 1 Ye are the children [01121] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: ye shall not cut [01413] yourselves, nor make [07760] any baldness [07144] between your eyes [05869] for the dead [04191]. 5 14 2 For thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] thee to be a peculiar [05459] people [05971] unto himself, above all the nations [05971] that are upon [06440] the earth [0127]. 5 14 3 Thou shalt not eat [0398] any abominable thing [08441]. 5 14 4 These are the beasts [0929] which ye shall eat [0398]: the ox [07794], the sheep [07716] [03775], and the goat [05795], 5 14 5 The hart [0354], and the roebuck [06643], and the fallow deer [03180], and the wild goat [0689], and the pygarg [01788], and the wild ox [08377], and the chamois [02169]. 5 14 6 And every beast [0929] that parteth [06536] the hoof [06541], and cleaveth [08157] the cleft [08156] into two [08147] claws [06541], and cheweth [05927] the cud [01625] among the beasts [0929], that ye shall eat [0398]. 5 14 7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat [0398] of them that chew [05927] the cud [01625], or of them that divide [06536] the cloven [08156] hoof [06541]; as the camel [01581], and the hare [0768], and the coney [08227]: for they chew [05927] the cud [01625], but divide [06536] not the hoof [06541]; therefore they are unclean [02931] unto you. 5 14 8 And the swine [02386], because it divideth [06536] the hoof [06541], yet cheweth not the cud [01625], it is unclean [02931] unto you: ye shall not eat [0398] of their flesh [01320], nor touch [05060] their dead carcase [05038]. 5 14 9 These ye shall eat [0398] of all that are in the waters [04325]: all that have fins [05579] and scales [07193] shall ye eat [0398]: 5 14 10 And whatsoever hath not fins [05579] and scales [07193] ye may not eat [0398]; it is unclean [02931] unto you. 5 14 11 Of all clean [02889] birds [06833] ye shall eat [0398]. 5 14 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat [0398]: the eagle [05404], and the ossifrage [06538], and the ospray [05822], 5 14 13 And the glede [07201], and the kite [0344], and the vulture [01772] after his kind [04327], 5 14 14 And every raven [06158] after his kind [04327], 5 14 15 And the owl [01323] [03284], and the night hawk [08464], and the cuckow [07828], and the hawk [05322] after his kind [04327], 5 14 16 The little owl [03563], and the great owl [03244], and the swan [08580], 5 14 17 And the pelican [06893], and the gier eagle [07360], and the cormorant [07994], 5 14 18 And the stork [02624], and the heron [0601] after her kind [04327], and the lapwing [01744], and the bat [05847]. 5 14 19 And every creeping thing [08318] that flieth [05775] is unclean [02931] unto you: they shall not be eaten [0398]. 5 14 20 But of all clean [02889] fowls [05775] ye may eat [0398]. 5 14 21 Ye shall not eat [0398] of any thing that dieth of itself [05038]: thou shalt give [05414] it unto the stranger [01616] that is in thy gates [08179], that he may eat [0398] it; or thou mayest sell [04376] it unto an alien [05237]: for thou art an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. Thou shalt not seethe [01310] a kid [01423] in his mother's [0517] milk [02461]. 5 14 22 Thou shalt truly [06237] tithe [06237] all the increase [08393] of thy seed [02233], that the field [07704] bringeth forth [03318] year [08141] by year [08141]. 5 14 23 And thou shalt eat [0398] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], in the place [04725] which he shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] there, the tithe [04643] of thy corn [01715], of thy wine [08492], and of thine oil [03323], and the firstlings [01062] of thy herds [01241] and of thy flocks [06629]; that thou mayest learn [03925] to fear [03372] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] always [03117]. 5 14 24 And if the way [01870] be too long [07235] for thee, so that [03588] thou art not able [03201] to carry [05375] it; or if the place [04725] be too far [07368] from thee, which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977] to set [07760] his name [08034] there, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee: 5 14 25 Then shalt thou turn [05414] it into money [03701], and bind up [06696] the money [03701] in thine hand [03027], and shalt go [01980] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977]: 5 14 26 And thou shalt bestow [05414] that money [03701] for whatsoever thy soul [05315] lusteth after [0183], for oxen [01241], or for sheep [06629], or for wine [03196], or for strong drink [07941], or for whatsoever thy soul [05315] desireth [07592]: and thou shalt eat [0398] there before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and thou shalt rejoice [08055], thou, and thine household [01004], 5 14 27 And the Levite [03881] that is within thy gates [08179]; thou shalt not forsake [05800] him; for he hath no part [02506] nor inheritance [05159] with thee. 5 14 28 At the end [07097] of three [07969] years [08141] thou shalt bring forth [03318] all the tithe [04643] of thine increase [08393] the same year [08141], and shalt lay it up [03240] within thy gates [08179]: 5 14 29 And the Levite [03881], (because he hath no part [02506] nor inheritance [05159] with thee,) and the stranger [01616], and the fatherless [03490], and the widow [0490], which are within thy gates [08179], shall come [0935], and shall eat [0398] and be satisfied [07646]; that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] may bless [01288] thee in all the work [04639] of thine hand [03027] which thou doest [06213]. 5 15 1 At the end [07093] of every seven [07651] years [08141] thou shalt make [06213] a release [08059]. 5 15 2 And this is the manner [01697] of the release [08059]: Every creditor [01167] [04874] [03027] that lendeth [05383] ought unto his neighbour [07453] shall release [08058] it; he shall not exact [05065] it of his neighbour [07453], or of his brother [0251]; because it is called [07121] the LORD'S [03068] release [08059]. 5 15 3 Of a foreigner [05237] thou mayest exact [05065] it again: but that which is thine with thy brother [0251] thine hand [03027] shall release [08058]; 5 15 4 Save [0657] when there shall be no poor [034] among you; for the LORD [03068] shall greatly [01288] bless [01288] thee in the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159] to possess [03423] it: 5 15 5 Only if thou carefully [08085] hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] to do [06213] all these commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]. 5 15 6 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] blesseth [01288] thee, as he promised [01696] thee: and thou shalt lend [05670] unto many [07227] nations [01471], but thou shalt not borrow [05670]; and thou shalt reign [04910] over many [07227] nations [01471], but they shall not reign [04910] over thee. 5 15 7 If there be among you a poor man [034] of one [0259] of thy brethren [0251] within any [0259] of thy gates [08179] in thy land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, thou shalt not harden [0553] thine heart [03824], nor shut [07092] thine hand [03027] from thy poor [034] brother [0251]: 5 15 8 But thou shalt open [06605] thine hand [03027] wide [06605] unto him, and shalt surely [05670] lend [05670] him sufficient [01767] for his need [04270], in that which he wanteth [02637]. 5 15 9 Beware [08104] that there be not a thought [01697] in thy wicked [01100] heart [03824], saying [0559], The seventh [07651] year [08141], the year [08141] of release [08059], is at hand [07126]; and thine eye [05869] be evil [07489] against thy poor [034] brother [0251], and thou givest [05414] him nought; and he cry [07121] unto the LORD [03068] against thee, and it be sin [02399] unto thee. 5 15 10 Thou shalt surely [05414] give [05414] him, and thine heart [03824] shall not be grieved [03415] when thou givest [05414] unto him: because [01558] that for this thing [01697] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bless [01288] thee in all thy works [04639], and in all that thou puttest [04916] thine hand [03027] unto. 5 15 11 For the poor [034] shall never cease [02308] out of [07130] the land [0776]: therefore I command [06680] thee, saying [0559], Thou shalt open [06605] thine hand [03027] wide [06605] unto thy brother [0251], to thy poor [06041], and to thy needy [034], in thy land [0776]. 5 15 12 And if thy brother [0251], an Hebrew man [05680], or an Hebrew woman [05680], be sold [04376] unto thee, and serve [05647] thee six [08337] years [08141]; then in the seventh [07637] year [08141] thou shalt let him go [07971] free [02670] from thee. 5 15 13 And when thou sendest [07971] him out free [02670] from thee, thou shalt not let him go away [07971] empty [07387]: 5 15 14 Thou shalt furnish [06059] him liberally [06059] out of thy flock [06629], and out of thy floor [01637], and out of thy winepress [03342]: of that wherewith the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee thou shalt give [05414] unto him. 5 15 15 And thou shalt remember [02142] that thou wast a bondman [05650] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] redeemed [06299] thee: therefore I command [06680] thee this thing [01697] to day [03117]. 5 15 16 And it shall be, if he say [0559] unto thee, I will not go away [03318] from thee; because he loveth [0157] thee and thine house [01004], because he is well [02895] with thee; 5 15 17 Then thou shalt take [03947] an aul [04836], and thrust [05414] it through his ear [0241] unto the door [01817], and he shall be thy servant [05650] for ever [05769]. And also unto thy maidservant [0519] thou shalt do [06213] likewise. 5 15 18 It shall not seem hard [07185] unto thee [05869], when thou sendest him away [07971] free [02670] from thee; for he hath been worth [07939] a double [04932] hired servant [07916] to thee, in serving [05647] thee six [08337] years [08141]: and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bless [01288] thee in all that thou doest [06213]. 5 15 19 All the firstling [01060] males [02145] that come [03205] of thy herd [01241] and of thy flock [06629] thou shalt sanctify [06942] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: thou shalt do no work [05647] with the firstling [01060] of thy bullock [07794], nor shear [01494] the firstling [01060] of thy sheep [06629]. 5 15 20 Thou shalt eat [0398] it before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] year [08141] by year [08141] in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977], thou and thy household [01004]. 5 15 21 And if there be any blemish [03971] therein, as if it be lame [06455], or blind [05787], or have any ill [07451] blemish [03971], thou shalt not sacrifice [02076] it unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 15 22 Thou shalt eat [0398] it within thy gates [08179]: the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889] person shall eat it alike [03162], as the roebuck [06643], and as the hart [0354]. 5 15 23 Only thou shalt not eat [0398] the blood [01818] thereof; thou shalt pour [08210] it upon the ground [0776] as water [04325]. 5 16 1 Observe [08104] the month [02320] of Abib [024], and keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for in the month [02320] of Abib [024] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] brought thee forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] by night [03915]. 5 16 2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], of the flock [06629] and the herd [01241], in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] there. 5 16 3 Thou shalt eat [0398] no leavened bread [02557] with it; seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682] therewith, even the bread [03899] of affliction [06040]; for thou camest forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] in haste [02649]: that thou mayest remember [02142] the day [03117] when thou camest forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]. 5 16 4 And there shall be no leavened bread [07603] seen [07200] with thee in all thy coast [01366] seven [07651] days [03117]; neither shall there any thing of the flesh [01320], which thou sacrificedst [02076] the first [07223] day [03117] at even [06153], remain [03885] all night until the morning [01242]. 5 16 5 Thou mayest [03201] not sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] within any [0259] of thy gates [08179], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee: 5 16 6 But at the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] in, there thou shalt sacrifice [02076] the passover [06453] at even [06153], at the going down [0935] of the sun [08121], at the season [04150] that thou camest forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]. 5 16 7 And thou shalt roast [01310] and eat [0398] it in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977]: and thou shalt turn [06437] in the morning [01242], and go [01980] unto thy tents [0168]. 5 16 8 Six [08337] days [03117] thou shalt eat [0398] unleavened bread [04682]: and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] shall be a solemn assembly [06116] to the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: thou shalt do [06213] no work [04399] therein. 5 16 9 Seven [07651] weeks [07620] shalt thou number [05608] unto thee: begin [02490] to number [05608] the seven [07651] weeks [07620] from such time as thou beginnest [02490] to put the sickle [02770] to the corn [07054]. 5 16 10 And thou shalt keep [06213] the feast [02282] of weeks [07620] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with a tribute [04530] of a freewill offering [05071] of thine hand [03027], which thou shalt give [05414] unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee: 5 16 11 And thou shalt rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], thou, and thy son [01121], and thy daughter [01323], and thy manservant [05650], and thy maidservant [0519], and the Levite [03881] that is within thy gates [08179], and the stranger [01616], and the fatherless [03490], and the widow [0490], that are among [07130] you, in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] there. 5 16 12 And thou shalt remember [02142] that thou wast a bondman [05650] in Egypt [04714]: and thou shalt observe [08104] and do [06213] these statutes [02706]. 5 16 13 Thou shalt observe [06213] the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521] seven [07651] days [03117], after that thou hast gathered [0622] in thy corn [01637] and thy wine [03342]: 5 16 14 And thou shalt rejoice [08055] in thy feast [02282], thou, and thy son [01121], and thy daughter [01323], and thy manservant [05650], and thy maidservant [0519], and the Levite [03881], the stranger [01616], and the fatherless [03490], and the widow [0490], that are within thy gates [08179]. 5 16 15 Seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou keep a solemn feast [02287] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977]: because the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bless [01288] thee in all thine increase [08393], and in all the works [04639] of thine hands [03027], therefore thou shalt surely rejoice [08056]. 5 16 16 Three [07969] times [06471] in a year [08141] shall all thy males [02138] appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the place [04725] which he shall choose [0977]; in the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682], and in the feast [02282] of weeks [07620], and in the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]: and they shall not appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] empty [07387]: 5 16 17 Every man [0376] shall give as he is able [04979] [03027], according to the blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] which he hath given [05414] thee. 5 16 18 Judges [08199] and officers [07860] shalt thou make [05414] thee in all thy gates [08179], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, throughout thy tribes [07626]: and they shall judge [08199] the people [05971] with just [06664] judgment [04941]. 5 16 19 Thou shalt not wrest [05186] judgment [04941]; thou shalt not respect [05234] persons [06440], neither take [03947] a gift [07810]: for a gift [07810] doth blind [05786] the eyes [05869] of the wise [02450], and pervert [05557] the words [01697] of the righteous [06662]. 5 16 20 That which is altogether [06664] just [06664] shalt thou follow [07291], that thou mayest live [02421], and inherit [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee. 5 16 21 Thou shalt not plant [05193] thee a grove [0842] of any trees [06086] near unto [0681] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which thou shalt make [06213] thee. 5 16 22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [06965] any image [04676]; which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hateth [08130]. 5 17 1 Thou shalt not sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] any bullock [07794], or sheep [07716], wherein is blemish [03971], or any evilfavouredness [07451] [01697]: for that is an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 17 2 If there be found [04672] among [07130] you, within any [0259] of thy gates [08179] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, man [0376] or woman [0802], that hath wrought [06213] wickedness [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], in transgressing [05674] his covenant [01285], 5 17 3 And hath gone [03212] and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] them, either the sun [08121], or moon [03394], or any of the host [06635] of heaven [08064], which I have not commanded [06680]; 5 17 4 And it be told [05046] thee, and thou hast heard [08085] of it, and enquired [01875] diligently [03190], and, behold, it be true [0571], and the thing [01697] certain [03559], that such abomination [08441] is wrought [06213] in Israel [03478]: 5 17 5 Then shalt thou bring forth [03318] that man [0376] or that woman [0802], which have committed [06213] that wicked [07451] thing [01697], unto thy gates [08179], even that man [0376] or that woman [0802], and shalt stone [05619] them with stones [068], till they die [04191]. 5 17 6 At the mouth [06310] of two [08147] witnesses [05707], or three [07969] witnesses [05707], shall he that is worthy of death [04191] be put to death [04191]; but at the mouth [06310] of one [0259] witness [05707] he shall not be put to death [04191]. 5 17 7 The hands [03027] of the witnesses [05707] shall be first [07223] upon him to put him to death [04191], and afterward [0314] the hands [03027] of all the people [05971]. So thou shalt put [01197] the evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you. 5 17 8 If there arise a matter [01697] too hard [06381] for thee in judgment [04941], between blood [01818] and blood [01818], between plea [01779] and plea [01779], and between stroke [05061] and stroke [05061], being matters [01697] of controversy [07379] within thy gates [08179]: then shalt thou arise [06965], and get thee up [05927] into the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977]; 5 17 9 And thou shalt come [0935] unto the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], and unto the judge [08199] that shall be in those days [03117], and enquire [01875]; and they shall shew [05046] thee the sentence [01697] of judgment [04941]: 5 17 10 And thou shalt do [06213] according to the sentence [06310] [01697], which they of that place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977] shall shew [05046] thee; and thou shalt observe [08104] to do [06213] according to all that they inform [03384] thee: 5 17 11 According to the sentence [06310] of the law [08451] which they shall teach [03384] thee, and according to the judgment [04941] which they shall tell [0559] thee, thou shalt do [06213]: thou shalt not decline [05493] from the sentence [01697] which they shall shew [05046] thee, to the right hand [03225], nor to the left [08040]. 5 17 12 And the man [0376] that will do [06213] presumptuously [02087], and will not hearken [08085] unto the priest [03548] that standeth [05975] to minister [08334] there before the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], or unto the judge [08199], even that man [0376] shall die [04191]: and thou shalt put away [01197] the evil [07451] from Israel [03478]. 5 17 13 And all the people [05971] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and do no more presumptuously [02102]. 5 17 14 When thou art come [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, and shalt possess [03423] it, and shalt dwell [03427] therein, and shalt say [0559], I will set [07760] a king [04428] over me, like as all the nations [01471] that are about [05439] me; 5 17 15 Thou shalt in any wise [07760] set [07760] him king [04428] over thee, whom the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977]: one from among [07130] thy brethren [0251] shalt thou set [07760] king [04428] over thee: thou mayest [03201] not set [05414] a stranger [05237] [0376] over thee, which is not thy brother [0251]. 5 17 16 But he shall not multiply [07235] horses [05483] to himself, nor cause the people [05971] to return [07725] to Egypt [04714], to the end that he should multiply [07235] horses [05483]: forasmuch as the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto you, Ye shall henceforth [03254] return [07725] no more that way [01870]. 5 17 17 Neither shall he multiply [07235] wives [0802] to himself, that his heart [03824] turn [05493] not away: neither shall he greatly [03966] multiply [07235] to himself silver [03701] and gold [02091]. 5 17 18 And it shall be, when he sitteth [03427] upon the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04467], that he shall write [03789] him a copy [04932] of this law [08451] in a book [05612] out of that which is before [06440] the priests [03548] the Levites [03881]: 5 17 19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read [07121] therein all the days [03117] of his life [02416]: that he may learn [03925] to fear [03372] the LORD [03068] his God [0430], to keep [08104] all the words [01697] of this law [08451] and these statutes [02706], to do [06213] them: 5 17 20 That his heart [03824] be not lifted up [07311] above his brethren [0251], and that he turn not aside [05493] from the commandment [04687], to the right hand [03225], or to the left [08040]: to the end that he may prolong [0748] his days [03117] in his kingdom [04467], he, and his children [01121], in the midst [07130] of Israel [03478]. 5 18 1 The priests [03548] the Levites [03881], and all the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878], shall have no part [02506] nor inheritance [05159] with Israel [03478]: they shall eat [0398] the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], and his inheritance [05159]. 5 18 2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance [05159] among [07130] their brethren [0251]: the LORD [03068] is their inheritance [05159], as he hath said [01696] unto them. 5 18 3 And this shall be the priest's [03548] due [04941] from the people [05971], from them that offer [02076] a sacrifice [02077], whether it be ox [07794] or sheep [07716]; and they shall give [05414] unto the priest [03548] the shoulder [02220], and the two cheeks [03895], and the maw [06896]. 5 18 4 The firstfruit [07225] also of thy corn [01715], of thy wine [08492], and of thine oil [03323], and the first [07225] of the fleece [01488] of thy sheep [06629], shalt thou give [05414] him. 5 18 5 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] him out of all thy tribes [07626], to stand [05975] to minister [08334] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], him and his sons [01121] for ever [03117]. 5 18 6 And if a Levite [03881] come [0935] from any [0259] of thy gates [08179] out of all Israel [03478], where he sojourned [01481], and come [0935] with all the desire [0185] of his mind [05315] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977]; 5 18 7 Then he shall minister [08334] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430], as all his brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] do, which stand [05975] there before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 5 18 8 They shall have like portions [02506] to eat [0398], beside that which cometh of the sale [04465] of his patrimony [01]. 5 18 9 When thou art come [0935] into the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, thou shalt not learn [03925] to do [06213] after the abominations [08441] of those nations [01471]. 5 18 10 There shall not be found [04672] among you any one that maketh his son [01121] or his daughter [01323] to pass [05674] through the fire [0784], or that useth [07080] divination [07081], or an observer of times [06049], or an enchanter [05172], or a witch [03784], 5 18 11 Or a charmer [02266] [02267], or a consulter [07592] with familiar spirits [0178], or a wizard [03049], or a necromancer [01875] [04191]. 5 18 12 For all that do [06213] these things are an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068]: and because [01558] of these abominations [08441] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] doth drive them out [03423] from before [06440] thee. 5 18 13 Thou shalt be perfect [08549] with the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 18 14 For these nations [01471], which thou shalt possess [03423], hearkened [08085] unto observers of times [06049], and unto diviners [07080]: but as for thee, the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath not suffered [05414] thee so to do. 5 18 15 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085]; 5 18 16 According to all that thou desiredst [07592] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951], saying [0559], Let me not hear [08085] again [03254] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], neither let me see [07200] this great [01419] fire [0784] any more, that I die [04191] not. 5 18 17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, They have well [03190] spoken that which they have spoken [01696]. 5 18 18 I will raise them up [06965] a Prophet [05030] from among [07130] their brethren [0251], like unto thee, and will put [05414] my words [01697] in his mouth [06310]; and he shall speak [01696] unto them all that I shall command [06680] him. 5 18 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever [0376] will not hearken [08085] unto my words [01697] which he shall speak [01696] in my name [08034], I will require [01875] it of him. 5 18 20 But the prophet [05030], which shall presume [02102] to speak [01696] a word [01697] in my name [08034], which I have not commanded [06680] him to speak [01696], or that shall speak [01696] in the name [08034] of other [0312] gods [0430], even that prophet [05030] shall die [04191]. 5 18 21 And if thou say [0559] in thine heart [03824], How shall we know [03045] the word [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696]? 5 18 22 When a prophet [05030] speaketh [01696] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], if the thing [01697] follow not, nor come to pass [0935], that is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696], but the prophet [05030] hath spoken [01696] it presumptuously [02087]: thou shalt not be afraid [01481] of him. 5 19 1 When the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath cut off [03772] the nations [01471], whose land [0776] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, and thou succeedest [03423] them, and dwellest [03427] in their cities [05892], and in their houses [01004]; 5 19 2 Thou shalt separate [0914] three [07969] cities [05892] for thee in the midst [08432] of thy land [0776], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee to possess [03423] it. 5 19 3 Thou shalt prepare [03559] thee a way [01870], and divide the coasts [01366] of thy land [0776], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth thee to inherit [05157], into three parts [08027], that every slayer [07523] may flee [05127] thither. 5 19 4 And this is the case [01697] of the slayer [07523], which shall flee [05127] thither, that he may live [02425]: Whoso killeth [05221] his neighbour [07453] ignorantly [01097] [01847], whom he hated [08130] not in time [08543] past [08032]; 5 19 5 As when a man goeth [0935] into the wood [03293] with his neighbour [07453] to hew [02404] wood [06086], and his hand [03027] fetcheth a stroke [05080] with the axe [01631] to cut down [03772] the tree [06086], and the head [01270] slippeth [05394] from the helve [06086], and lighteth [04672] upon his neighbour [07453], that he die [04191]; he shall flee [05127] unto one [0259] of those cities [05892], and live [02425]: 5 19 6 Lest the avenger [01350] of the blood [01818] pursue [07291] the slayer [0310] [07523], while [03588] his heart [03824] is hot [03179], and overtake [05381] him, because the way [01870] is long [07235], and slay [05221] him [05315]; whereas he was not worthy [04941] of death [04194], inasmuch as [03588] he hated [08130] him not in time [08543] past [08032]. 5 19 7 Wherefore I command [06680] thee, saying [0559], Thou shalt separate [0914] three [07969] cities [05892] for thee. 5 19 8 And if the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] enlarge [07337] thy coast [01366], as he hath sworn [07650] unto thy fathers [01], and give [05414] thee all the land [0776] which he promised [01696] to give [05414] unto thy fathers [01]; 5 19 9 If thou shalt keep [08104] all these commandments [04687] to do [06213] them, which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and to walk [03212] ever [03117] in his ways [01870]; then shalt thou add [03254] three [07969] cities [05892] more for thee, beside these three [07969]: 5 19 10 That innocent [05355] blood [01818] be not shed [08210] in [07130] thy land [0776], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159], and so blood [01818] be upon thee. 5 19 11 But if any man [0376] hate [08130] his neighbour [07453], and lie in wait [0693] for him, and rise up [06965] against him, and smite [05221] him mortally [05315] that he die [04191], and fleeth [05127] into one [0259] of these [0411] cities [05892]: 5 19 12 Then the elders [02205] of his city [05892] shall send [07971] and fetch [03947] him thence, and deliver [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the avenger [01350] of blood [01818], that he may die [04191]. 5 19 13 Thine eye [05869] shall not pity [02347] him, but thou shalt put away [01197] the guilt of innocent [05355] blood [01818] from Israel [03478], that it may go well [02895] with thee. 5 19 14 Thou shalt not remove [05253] thy neighbour's [07453] landmark [01366], which they of old time [07223] have set [01379] in thine inheritance [05159], which thou shalt inherit [05157] in the land [0776] that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee to possess [03423] it. 5 19 15 One [0259] witness [05707] shall not rise up [06965] against a man [0376] for any iniquity [05771], or for any sin [02403], in any sin [02399] that he sinneth [02398]: at the mouth [06310] of two [08147] witnesses [05707], or at the mouth [06310] of three [07969] witnesses [05707], shall the matter [01697] be established [06965]. 5 19 16 If a false [02555] witness [05707] rise up [06965] against any man [0376] to testify [06030] against him that which is wrong [05627]; 5 19 17 Then both [08147] the men [0582], between whom the controversy [07379] is, shall stand [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068], before [06440] the priests [03548] and the judges [08199], which shall be in those days [03117]; 5 19 18 And the judges [08199] shall make diligent [03190] inquisition [01875]: and, behold, if the witness [05707] be a false [08267] witness [05707], and hath testified [06030] falsely [08267] against his brother [0251]; 5 19 19 Then shall ye do [06213] unto him, as he had thought [02161] to have done [06213] unto his brother [0251]: so shalt thou put [01197] the evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you. 5 19 20 And those which remain [07604] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372], and shall henceforth [03254] commit [06213] no more any [01697] such evil [07451] among [07130] you. 5 19 21 And thine eye [05869] shall not pity [02347]; but life [05315] shall go for life [05315], eye [05869] for eye [05869], tooth [08127] for tooth [08127], hand [03027] for hand [03027], foot [07272] for foot [07272]. 5 20 1 When thou goest out [03318] to battle [04421] against thine enemies [0341], and seest [07200] horses [05483], and chariots [07393], and a people [05971] more [07227] than thou, be not afraid [03372] of them: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is with thee, which brought thee up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 5 20 2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh [07126] unto the battle [04421], that the priest [03548] shall approach [05066] and speak [01696] unto the people [05971], 5 20 3 And shall say [0559] unto them, Hear [08085], O Israel [03478], ye approach [07131] this day [03117] unto battle [04421] against your enemies [0341]: let not your hearts [03824] faint [07401], fear [03372] not, and do not tremble [02648], neither be ye terrified [06206] because [06440] of them; 5 20 4 For the LORD [03068] your God [0430] is he that goeth [01980] with you, to fight [03898] for you against your enemies [0341], to save [03467] you. 5 20 5 And the officers [07860] shall speak [01696] unto the people [05971], saying [0559], What man [0376] is there that hath built [01129] a new [02319] house [01004], and hath not dedicated [02596] it? let him go [03212] and return [07725] to his house [01004], lest he die [04191] in the battle [04421], and another [0312] man [0376] dedicate [02596] it. 5 20 6 And what man [0376] is he that hath planted [05193] a vineyard [03754], and hath not yet eaten [02490] of it? let him also go [03212] and return [07725] unto his house [01004], lest he die [04191] in the battle [04421], and another [0312] man [0376] eat [02490] of it. 5 20 7 And what man [0376] is there that hath betrothed [0781] a wife [0802], and hath not taken [03947] her? let him go [03212] and return [07725] unto his house [01004], lest he die [04191] in the battle [04421], and another [0312] man [0376] take [03947] her. 5 20 8 And the officers [07860] shall speak [01696] further [03254] unto the people [05971], and they shall say [0559], What man [0376] is there that is fearful [03373] and fainthearted [07390] [03824]? let him go [03212] and return [07725] unto his house [01004], lest his brethren's [0251] heart [03824] faint [04549] as well as his heart [03824]. 5 20 9 And it shall be, when the officers [07860] have made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] unto the people [05971], that they shall make [06485] captains [08269] of the armies [06635] to lead [07218] the people [05971]. 5 20 10 When thou comest nigh [07126] unto a city [05892] to fight [03898] against it, then proclaim [07121] peace [07965] unto it. 5 20 11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer [06030] of peace [07965], and open [06605] unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people [05971] that is found [04672] therein shall be tributaries [04522] unto thee, and they shall serve [05647] thee. 5 20 12 And if it will make no peace [07999] with thee, but will make [06213] war [04421] against thee, then thou shalt besiege [06696] it: 5 20 13 And when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath delivered [05414] it into thine hands [03027], thou shalt smite [05221] every male [02138] thereof with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]: 5 20 14 But the women [0802], and the little ones [02945], and the cattle [0929], and all that is in the city [05892], even all the spoil [07998] thereof, shalt thou take [0962] unto thyself; and thou shalt eat [0398] the spoil [07998] of thine enemies [0341], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] thee. 5 20 15 Thus shalt thou do [06213] unto all the cities [05892] which are very [03966] far off [07350] from thee, which [02007] are not of the cities [05892] of these nations [01471]. 5 20 16 But of the cities [05892] of these people [05971], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] doth give [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159], thou shalt save alive [02421] nothing that breatheth [05397]: 5 20 17 But thou shalt utterly [02763] destroy [02763] them; namely, the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], the Canaanites [03669], and the Perizzites [06522], the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]; as the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath commanded [06680] thee: 5 20 18 That they teach [03925] you not to do [06213] after all their abominations [08441], which they have done [06213] unto their gods [0430]; so should ye sin [02398] against the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 5 20 19 When thou shalt besiege [06696] a city [05892] a long [07227] time [03117], in making war [03898] against it to take [08610] it, thou shalt not destroy [07843] the trees [06086] thereof by forcing [05080] an axe [01631] against them: for thou mayest eat [0398] of them, and thou shalt not cut them down [03772] (for the tree [06086] of the field [07704] is man's [0120] life) to employ [0935] them in the siege [06440] [04692]: 5 20 20 Only the trees [06086] which thou knowest [03045] that they be not trees [06086] for meat [03978], thou shalt destroy [07843] and cut them down [03772]; and thou shalt build [01129] bulwarks [04692] against the city [05892] that maketh [06213] war [04421] with thee, until it be subdued [03381]. 5 21 1 If one be found [04672] slain [02491] in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee to possess [03423] it, lying [05307] in the field [07704], and it be not known [03045] who hath slain [05221] him: 5 21 2 Then thy elders [02205] and thy judges [08199] shall come forth [03318], and they shall measure [04058] unto the cities [05892] which are round about [05439] him that is slain [02491]: 5 21 3 And it shall be, that the city [05892] which is next [07138] unto the slain man [02491], even the elders [02205] of that city [05892] shall take [03947] an heifer [01241] [05697], which hath not been wrought with [05647], and which hath not drawn [04900] in the yoke [05923]; 5 21 4 And the elders [02205] of that city [05892] shall bring down [03381] the heifer [05697] unto a rough [0386] valley [05158], which is neither eared [05647] nor sown [02232], and shall strike off [06202] the heifer's [05697] neck [06202] there in the valley [05158]: 5 21 5 And the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] shall come near [05066]; for them the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath chosen [0977] to minister [08334] unto him, and to bless [01288] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]; and by their word [06310] shall every controversy [07379] and every stroke [05061] be tried: 5 21 6 And all the elders [02205] of that city [05892], that are next [07138] unto the slain [02491] man, shall wash [07364] their hands [03027] over the heifer [05697] that is beheaded [06202] in the valley [05158]: 5 21 7 And they shall answer [06030] and say [0559], Our hands [03027] have not shed [08210] this blood [01818], neither have our eyes [05869] seen [07200] it. 5 21 8 Be merciful [03722], O LORD [03068], unto thy people [05971] Israel [03478], whom thou hast redeemed [06299], and lay [05414] not innocent [05355] blood [01818] unto thy people [05971] of Israel's [03478] charge [07130]. And the blood [01818] shall be forgiven [03722] them. 5 21 9 So shalt thou put away [01197] the guilt of innocent [05355] blood [01818] from among [07130] you, when thou shalt do [06213] that which is right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 5 21 10 When thou goest forth [03318] to war [04421] against thine enemies [0341], and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath delivered [05414] them into thine hands [03027], and thou hast taken [07617] them captive [07628], 5 21 11 And seest [07200] among the captives [07633] a beautiful [08389] [03303] woman [0802], and hast a desire [02836] unto her, that thou wouldest have her [03947] to thy wife [0802]; 5 21 12 Then thou shalt bring [0935] her home [08432] to thine house [01004]; and she shall shave [01548] her head [07218], and pare [06213] her nails [06856]; 5 21 13 And she shall put [05493] the raiment [08071] of her captivity [07628] from off her, and shall remain [03427] in thine house [01004], and bewail [01058] her father [01] and her mother [0517] a full [03117] month [03391]: and after [0310] that thou shalt go [0935] in unto her, and be her husband [01166], and she shall be thy wife [0802]. 5 21 14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight [02654] in her, then thou shalt let her go [07971] whither she will [05315]; but thou shalt not sell [04376] her at all [04376] for money [03701], thou shalt not make merchandise [06014] of her, because [0834] thou hast humbled [06031] her. 5 21 15 If a man [0376] have two [08147] wives [0802], one [0259] beloved [0157], and another [0259] hated [08130], and they have born [03205] him children [01121], both the beloved [0157] and the hated [08130]; and if the firstborn [01060] son [01121] be hers that was hated [08146]: 5 21 16 Then it shall be, when [03117] he maketh his sons [01121] to inherit [05157] that which he hath, that he may [03201] not make the son [01121] of the beloved [0157] firstborn [01069] before [06440] the son [01121] of the hated [08130], which is indeed the firstborn [01060]: 5 21 17 But he shall acknowledge [05234] the son [01121] of the hated [08130] for the firstborn [01060], by giving [05414] him a double [08147] portion [06310] of all that he hath [04672]: for he is the beginning [07225] of his strength [0202]; the right [04941] of the firstborn [01062] is his. 5 21 18 If a man [0376] have a stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784] son [01121], which will not obey [08085] the voice [06963] of his father [01], or the voice [06963] of his mother [0517], and that, when they have chastened [03256] him, will not hearken [08085] unto them: 5 21 19 Then shall his father [01] and his mother [0517] lay hold [08610] on him, and bring him out [03318] unto the elders [02205] of his city [05892], and unto the gate [08179] of his place [04725]; 5 21 20 And they shall say [0559] unto the elders [02205] of his city [05892], This our son [01121] is stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784], he will not obey [08085] our voice [06963]; he is a glutton [02151], and a drunkard [05433]. 5 21 21 And all the men [0582] of his city [05892] shall stone [07275] him with stones [068], that he die [04191]: so shalt thou put [01197] evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you; and all Israel [03478] shall hear [08085], and fear [03372]. 5 21 22 And if a man [0376] have committed a sin [02399] worthy of [04941] death [04194], and he be to be put to death [04191], and thou hang [08518] him on a tree [06086]: 5 21 23 His body [05038] shall not remain all night [03885] upon the tree [06086], but thou shalt in any wise [06912] bury [06912] him that day [03117]; (for he that is hanged [08518] is accursed [07045] of God [0430];) that thy land [0127] be not defiled [02930], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159]. 5 22 1 Thou shalt not see [07200] thy brother's [0251] ox [07794] or his sheep [07716] go astray [05080], and hide [05956] thyself from them: thou shalt in any case [07725] bring them again [07725] unto thy brother [0251]. 5 22 2 And if thy brother [0251] be not nigh [07138] unto thee, or if thou know [03045] him not, then thou shalt bring [0622] it unto [08432] thine own house [01004], and it shall be with thee until thy brother [0251] seek [01875] after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again [07725]. 5 22 3 In like manner [03651] shalt thou do [06213] with his ass [02543]; and so shalt thou do [06213] with his raiment [08071]; and with all lost thing [09] of thy brother's [0251], which he hath lost [06], and thou hast found [04672], shalt thou do [06213] likewise: thou mayest [03201] not hide [05956] thyself. 5 22 4 Thou shalt not see [07200] thy brother's [0251] ass [02543] or his ox [07794] fall down [05307] by the way [01870], and hide [05956] thyself from them: thou shalt surely [06965] help him to lift them up again [06965]. 5 22 5 The woman [0802] shall not wear that which pertaineth [03627] unto a man [01397], neither shall a man [01397] put [03847] on a woman's [0802] garment [08071]: for all that do [06213] so [0428] are abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 22 6 If a bird's [06833] nest [07064] chance [07122] to be before [06440] thee in the way [01870] in any tree [06086], or on the ground [0776], whether they be young ones [0667], or eggs [01000], and the dam [0517] sitting [07257] upon the young [0667], or upon the eggs [01000], thou shalt not take [03947] the dam [0517] with the young [01121]: 5 22 7 But thou shalt in any wise [07971] let the dam [0517] go [07971], and take [03947] the young [01121] to thee; that it may be well [03190] with thee, and that thou mayest prolong [0748] thy days [03117]. 5 22 8 When thou buildest [01129] a new [02319] house [01004], then thou shalt make [06213] a battlement [04624] for thy roof [01406], that thou bring [07760] not blood [01818] upon thine house [01004], if any man [05307] fall [05307] from thence. 5 22 9 Thou shalt not sow [02232] thy vineyard [03754] with divers seeds [03610]: lest the fruit [04395] of thy seed [02233] which thou hast sown [02232], and the fruit [08393] of thy vineyard [03754], be defiled [06942]. 5 22 10 Thou shalt not plow [02790] with an ox [07794] and an ass [02543] together [03162]. 5 22 11 Thou shalt not wear [03847] a garment of divers sorts [08162], as of woollen [06785] and linen [06593] together [03162]. 5 22 12 Thou shalt make [06213] thee fringes [01434] upon the four [0702] quarters [03671] of thy vesture [03682], wherewith thou coverest [03680] thyself. 5 22 13 If any man [0376] take [03947] a wife [0802], and go in [0935] unto her, and hate [08130] her, 5 22 14 And give [07760] occasions [05949] of speech [01697] against her, and bring up [03318] an evil [07451] name [08034] upon her, and say [0559], I took [03947] this woman [0802], and when I came [07126] to her, I found [04672] her not a maid [01331]: 5 22 15 Then shall the father [01] of the damsel [05291], and her mother [0517], take [03947] and bring forth [03318] the tokens of the damsel's [05291] virginity [01331] unto the elders [02205] of the city [05892] in the gate [08179]: 5 22 16 And the damsel's [05291] father [01] shall say [0559] unto the elders [02205], I gave [05414] my daughter [01323] unto this man [0376] to wife [0802], and he hateth [08130] her; 5 22 17 And, lo, he hath given [07760] occasions [05949] of speech [01697] against her, saying [0559], I found [04672] not thy daughter [01323] a maid [01331]; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's [01323] virginity [01331]. And they shall spread [06566] the cloth [08071] before [06440] the elders [02205] of the city [05892]. 5 22 18 And the elders [02205] of that city [05892] shall take [03947] that man [0376] and chastise [03256] him; 5 22 19 And they shall amerce [06064] him in an hundred [03967] shekels of silver [03701], and give [05414] them unto the father [01] of the damsel [05291], because he hath brought up [03318] an evil [07451] name [08034] upon a virgin [01330] of Israel [03478]: and she shall be his wife [0802]; he may [03201] not put her away [07971] all his days [03117]. 5 22 20 But if this thing [01697] be true [0571], and the tokens of virginity [01331] be not found [04672] for the damsel [05291]: 5 22 21 Then they shall bring out [03318] the damsel [05291] to the door [06607] of her father's [01] house [01004], and the men [0582] of her city [05892] shall stone [05619] her with stones [068] that she die [04191]: because she hath wrought [06213] folly [05039] in Israel [03478], to play the whore [02181] in her father's [01] house [01004]: so shalt thou put [01197] evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you. 5 22 22 If a man [0376] be found [04672] lying [07901] with a woman [0802] married [01166] to an husband [01167], then they shall both of them [08147] die [04191], both the man [0376] that lay [07901] with the woman [0802], and the woman [0802]: so shalt thou put away [01197] evil [07451] from Israel [03478]. 5 22 23 If a damsel [05291] that is a virgin [01330] be betrothed [0781] unto an husband [0376], and a man [0376] find [04672] her in the city [05892], and lie [07901] with her; 5 22 24 Then ye shall bring [03318] them both [08147] out unto the gate [08179] of that city [05892], and ye shall stone [05619] them with stones [068] that they die [04191]; the damsel [05291], because [0834] [01697] she cried [06817] not, being in the city [05892]; and the man [0376], because [0834] [01697] he hath humbled [06031] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]: so thou shalt put away [01197] evil [07451] from among [07130] you. 5 22 25 But if a man [0376] find [04672] a betrothed [0781] damsel [05291] in the field [07704], and the man [0376] force [02388] her, and lie [07901] with her: then the man [0376] only that lay [07901] with her shall die [04191]: 5 22 26 But unto the damsel [05291] thou shalt do [06213] nothing [01697]; there is in the damsel [05291] no sin [02399] worthy of death [04194]: for as when a man [0376] riseth [06965] against his neighbour [07453], and slayeth [07523] [05315] him, even so is this matter [01697]: 5 22 27 For he found [04672] her in the field [07704], and the betrothed [0781] damsel [05291] cried [06817], and there was none to save [03467] her. 5 22 28 If a man [0376] find [04672] a damsel [05291] that is a virgin [01330], which is not betrothed [0781], and lay hold [08610] on her, and lie [07901] with her, and they be found [04672]; 5 22 29 Then the man [0376] that lay [07901] with her shall give [05414] unto the damsel's [05291] father [01] fifty [02572] shekels of silver [03701], and she shall be his wife [0802]; because he hath humbled [06031] her, he may [03201] not put her away [07971] all his days [03117]. 5 22 30 A man [0376] shall not take [03947] his father's [01] wife [0802], nor discover [01540] his father's [01] skirt [03671]. 5 23 1 He that is wounded in the stones [06481] [01795], or hath his privy member [08212] cut off [03772], shall not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]. 5 23 2 A bastard [04464] shall not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]; even to his tenth [06224] generation [01755] shall he not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]. 5 23 3 An Ammonite [05984] or Moabite [04125] shall not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]; even to their tenth [06224] generation [01755] shall they not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068] for [05704] ever [05769]: 5 23 4 Because [01697] they met [06923] you not with bread [03899] and with water [04325] in the way [01870], when ye came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]; and because they hired [07936] against thee Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] of Pethor [06604] of Mesopotamia [0763], to curse [07043] thee. 5 23 5 Nevertheless the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] would [014] not hearken [08085] unto Balaam [01109]; but the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] turned [02015] the curse [07045] into a blessing [01293] unto thee, because the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] loved [0157] thee. 5 23 6 Thou shalt not seek [01875] their peace [07965] nor their prosperity [02896] all thy days [03117] for ever [05769]. 5 23 7 Thou shalt not abhor [08581] an Edomite [0130]; for he is thy brother [0251]: thou shalt not abhor [08581] an Egyptian [04713]; because thou wast a stranger [01616] in his land [0776]. 5 23 8 The children [01121] that are begotten [03205] of them shall enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068] in their third [07992] generation [01755]. 5 23 9 When the host [04264] goeth forth [03318] against thine enemies [0341], then keep [08104] thee from every wicked [07451] thing [01697]. 5 23 10 If there be among you any man [0376], that is not clean [02889] by reason of uncleanness that chanceth [07137] him by night [03915], then shall he go [03318] abroad [02351] out of the camp [04264], he shall not come [0935] within [08432] the camp [04264]: 5 23 11 But it shall be, when evening [06153] cometh on [06437], he shall wash [07364] himself with water [04325]: and when the sun [08121] is down [0935], he shall come [0935] into [08432] the camp [04264] again. 5 23 12 Thou shalt have a place also [03027] without [02351] the camp [04264], whither thou shalt go forth [03318] abroad [02351]: 5 23 13 And thou shalt have a paddle [03489] upon thy weapon [0240]; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease [03427] thyself abroad [02351], thou shalt dig [02658] therewith, and shalt turn back [07725] and cover [03680] that which cometh [06627] from thee: 5 23 14 For the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] walketh [01980] in the midst [07130] of thy camp [04264], to deliver [05337] thee, and to give up [05414] thine enemies [0341] before [06440] thee; therefore shall thy camp [04264] be holy [06918]: that he see [07200] no unclean [06172] thing [01697] in thee, and turn away [07725] from thee [0310]. 5 23 15 Thou shalt not deliver [05462] unto his master [0113] the servant [05650] which is escaped [05337] from his master [0113] unto thee: 5 23 16 He shall dwell [03427] with thee, even among [07130] you, in that place [04725] which he shall choose [0977] in one [0259] of thy gates [08179], where it liketh him best [02896]: thou shalt not oppress [03238] him. 5 23 17 There shall be no whore [06948] of the daughters [01323] of Israel [03478], nor a sodomite [06945] of the sons [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 23 18 Thou shalt not bring [0935] the hire [0868] of a whore [02181], or the price [04242] of a dog [03611], into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] for any vow [05088]: for even both [08147] these are abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 23 19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury [05391] to thy brother [0251]; usury [05392] of money [03701], usury [05392] of victuals [0400], usury [05392] of any thing [01697] that is lent upon usury [05391]: 5 23 20 Unto a stranger [05237] thou mayest lend upon usury [05391]; but unto thy brother [0251] thou shalt not lend upon usury [05391]: that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] may bless [01288] thee in all that thou settest [04916] thine hand [03027] to in the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 23 21 When thou shalt vow [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], thou shalt not slack [0309] to pay [07999] it: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will surely [01875] require [01875] it of thee; and it would be sin [02399] in thee. 5 23 22 But if thou shalt forbear [02308] to vow [05087], it shall be no sin [02399] in thee. 5 23 23 That which is gone out [04161] of thy lips [08193] thou shalt keep [08104] and perform [06213]; even a freewill offering [05071], according as thou hast vowed [05087] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which thou hast promised [01696] with thy mouth [06310]. 5 23 24 When thou comest [0935] into thy neighbour's [07453] vineyard [03754], then thou mayest eat [0398] grapes [06025] thy fill [07648] at thine own pleasure [05315]; but thou shalt not put [05414] any in thy vessel [03627]. 5 23 25 When thou comest [0935] into the standing corn [07054] of thy neighbour [07453], then thou mayest pluck [06998] the ears [04425] with thine hand [03027]; but thou shalt not move [05130] a sickle [02770] unto thy neighbour's [07453] standing corn [07054]. 5 24 1 When a man [0376] hath taken [03947] a wife [0802], and married [01166] her, and it come to pass that she find [04672] no favour [02580] in his eyes [05869], because he hath found [04672] some [01697] uncleanness [06172] in her: then let him write [03789] her a bill [05612] of divorcement [03748], and give [05414] it in her hand [03027], and send [07971] her out of his house [01004]. 5 24 2 And when she is departed out [03318] of his house [01004], she may go [01980] and be another [0312] man's [0376] wife. 5 24 3 And if the latter [0314] husband [0376] hate [08130] her, and write [03789] her a bill [05612] of divorcement [03748], and giveth [05414] it in her hand [03027], and sendeth [07971] her out of his house [01004]; or if the latter [0314] husband [0376] die [04191], which took [03947] her to be his wife [0802]; 5 24 4 Her former [07223] husband [01167], which sent her away [07971], may [03201] not take [03947] her again [07725] to be his wife [0802], after [0310] that she is defiled [02930]; for that is abomination [08441] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and thou shalt not cause the land [0776] to sin [02398], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159]. 5 24 5 When a man [0376] hath taken [03947] a new [02319] wife [0802], he shall not go out [03318] to war [06635], neither shall he be charged [05674] with any business [01697]: but he shall be free [05355] at home [01004] one [0259] year [08141], and shall cheer up [08055] his wife [0802] which he hath taken [03947]. 5 24 6 No man shall take [02254] the nether [07347] or the upper millstone [07393] to pledge [02254]: for he taketh [02254] a man's life [05315] to pledge [02254]. 5 24 7 If a man [0376] be found [04672] stealing [01589] any [05315] of his brethren [0251] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and maketh merchandise [06014] of him, or selleth [04376] him; then that thief [01590] shall die [04191]; and thou shalt put [01197] evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you. 5 24 8 Take heed [08104] in the plague [05061] of leprosy [06883], that thou observe [08104] diligently [03966], and do [06213] according to all that the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] shall teach [03384] you: as I commanded [06680] them, so ye shall observe [08104] to do [06213]. 5 24 9 Remember [02142] what the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] did [06213] unto Miriam [04813] by the way [01870], after that ye were come forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]. 5 24 10 When thou dost lend [05383] thy brother [07453] any [03972] thing [04859], thou shalt not go [0935] into his house [01004] to fetch [05670] his pledge [05667]. 5 24 11 Thou shalt stand [05975] abroad [02351], and the man [0376] to whom thou dost lend [05383] shall bring out [03318] the pledge [05667] abroad [02351] unto thee. 5 24 12 And if the man [0376] be poor [06041], thou shalt not sleep [07901] with his pledge [05667]: 5 24 13 In any case [07725] thou shalt deliver [07725] him the pledge [05667] again [07725] when the sun [08121] goeth down [0935], that he may sleep [07901] in his own raiment [08008], and bless [01288] thee: and it shall be righteousness [06666] unto thee before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 24 14 Thou shalt not oppress [06231] an hired servant [07916] that is poor [06041] and needy [034], whether he be of thy brethren [0251], or of thy strangers [01616] that are in thy land [0776] within thy gates [08179]: 5 24 15 At his day [03117] thou shalt give [05414] him his hire [07939], neither shall the sun [08121] go down [0935] upon it; for he is poor [06041], and setteth [05375] his heart [05315] upon it: lest he cry [07121] against thee unto the LORD [03068], and it be sin [02399] unto thee. 5 24 16 The fathers [01] shall not be put to death [04191] for the children [01121], neither shall the children [01121] be put to death [04191] for the fathers [01]: every man [0376] shall be put to death [04191] for his own sin [02399]. 5 24 17 Thou shalt not pervert [05186] the judgment [04941] of the stranger [01616], nor of the fatherless [03490]; nor take [02254] a widow's [0490] raiment [0899] to pledge [02254]: 5 24 18 But thou shalt remember [02142] that thou wast a bondman [05650] in Egypt [04714], and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] redeemed [06299] thee thence: therefore I command [06680] thee to do [06213] this thing [01697]. 5 24 19 When thou cuttest down [07114] thine harvest [07105] in thy field [07704], and hast forgot [07911] a sheaf [06016] in the field [07704], thou shalt not go again [07725] to fetch [03947] it: it shall be for the stranger [01616], for the fatherless [03490], and for the widow [0490]: that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] may bless [01288] thee in all the work [04639] of thine hands [03027]. 5 24 20 When thou beatest [02251] thine olive tree [02132], thou shalt not go over the boughs [06286] again [0310]: it shall be for the stranger [01616], for the fatherless [03490], and for the widow [0490]. 5 24 21 When thou gatherest [01219] the grapes of thy vineyard [03754], thou shalt not glean [05953] it afterward [0310]: it shall be for the stranger [01616], for the fatherless [03490], and for the widow [0490]. 5 24 22 And thou shalt remember [02142] that thou wast a bondman [05650] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: therefore I command [06680] thee to do [06213] this thing [01697]. 5 25 1 If there be a controversy [07379] between men [0582], and they come [05066] unto judgment [04941], that the judges may judge [08199] them; then they shall justify [06663] the righteous [06662], and condemn [07561] the wicked [07563]. 5 25 2 And it shall be, if the wicked man [07563] be worthy [01121] to be beaten [05221], that the judge [08199] shall cause him to lie down [05307], and to be beaten [05221] before his face [06440], according [01767] to his fault [07564], by a certain number [04557]. 5 25 3 Forty [0705] stripes [05221] he may give him, and not exceed [03254]: lest, if he should exceed [03254], and beat [05221] him above these with many [07227] stripes [04347], then thy brother [0251] should seem vile [07034] [05869] unto thee. 5 25 4 Thou shalt not muzzle [02629] the ox [07794] when he treadeth out [01778] the corn. 5 25 5 If brethren [0251] dwell [03427] together [03162], and one [0259] of them die [04191], and have no child [01121], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191] shall not marry without [02351] unto a stranger [0376] [02114]: her husband's brother [02993] shall go in [0935] unto her, and take [03947] her to him to wife [0802], and perform the duty of an husband's brother [02992] unto her. 5 25 6 And it shall be, that the firstborn [01060] which she beareth [03205] shall succeed [06965] in the name [08034] of his brother [0251] which is dead [04191], that his name [08034] be not put out [04229] of Israel [03478]. 5 25 7 And if the man [0376] like [02654] not to take [03947] his brother's wife [02994], then let his brother's wife [02994] go up [05927] to the gate [08179] unto the elders [02205], and say [0559], My husband's brother [02993] refuseth [03985] to raise up [06965] unto his brother [0251] a name [08034] in Israel [03478], he will [014] not perform the duty of my husband's brother [02992]. 5 25 8 Then the elders [02205] of his city [05892] shall call [07121] him, and speak [01696] unto him: and if he stand [05975] to it, and say [0559], I like [02654] not to take [03947] her; 5 25 9 Then shall his brother's wife [02994] come [05066] unto him in the presence [05869] of the elders [02205], and loose [02502] his shoe [05275] from off his foot [07272], and spit [03417] in his face [06440], and shall answer [06030] and say [0559], So shall it be done [06213] unto that man [0376] that will not build up [01129] his brother's [0251] house [01004]. 5 25 10 And his name [08034] shall be called [07121] in Israel [03478], The house [01004] of him that hath his shoe [05275] loosed [02502]. 5 25 11 When men [0582] strive [05327] together [03162] one with another [0251] [0376], and the wife [0802] of the one [0259] draweth near [07126] for to deliver [05337] her husband [0376] out of the hand [03027] of him that smiteth [05221] him, and putteth forth [07971] her hand [03027], and taketh [02388] him by the secrets [04016]: 5 25 12 Then thou shalt cut off [07112] her hand [03709], thine eye [05869] shall not pity [02347] her. 5 25 13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag [03599] divers weights [068] [068], a great [01419] and a small [06996]. 5 25 14 Thou shalt not have in thine house [01004] divers measures [0374] [0374], a great [01419] and a small [06996]. 5 25 15 But thou shalt have a perfect [08003] and just [06664] weight [068], a perfect [08003] and just [06664] measure [0374] shalt thou have: that thy days [03117] may be lengthened [0748] in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee. 5 25 16 For all that do [06213] such things [0428], and all that do [06213] unrighteously [05766], are an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 25 17 Remember [02142] what Amalek [06002] did [06213] unto thee by the way [01870], when ye were come forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]; 5 25 18 How he met [07136] thee by the way [01870], and smote the hindmost [02179] of thee, even all that were feeble [02826] behind [0310] thee, when thou wast faint [05889] and weary [03023]; and he feared [03373] not God [0430]. 5 25 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given thee rest [05117] from all thine enemies [0341] round about [05439], in the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159] to possess [03423] it, that thou shalt blot out [04229] the remembrance [02143] of Amalek [06002] from under heaven [08064]; thou shalt not forget [07911] it. 5 26 1 And it shall be, when thou art come in [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee for an inheritance [05159], and possessest [03423] it, and dwellest [03427] therein; 5 26 2 That thou shalt take [03947] of the first [07225] of all the fruit [06529] of the earth [0127], which thou shalt bring [0935] of thy land [0776] that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, and shalt put [07760] it in a basket [02935], and shalt go [01980] unto the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall choose [0977] to place [07931] his name [08034] there. 5 26 3 And thou shalt go [0935] unto the priest [03548] that shall be in those days [03117], and say [0559] unto him, I profess [05046] this day [03117] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], that I am come [0935] unto the country [0776] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto our fathers [01] for to give [05414] us. 5 26 4 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] the basket [02935] out of thine hand [03027], and set it down [03240] before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 26 5 And thou shalt speak [06030] and say [0559] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], A Syrian [0761] ready to perish [06] was my father [01], and he went down [03381] into Egypt [04714], and sojourned [01481] there with [04962] a few [04592], and became there a nation [01471], great [01419], mighty [06099], and populous [07227]: 5 26 6 And the Egyptians [04713] evil entreated [07489] us, and afflicted [06031] us, and laid [05414] upon us hard [07186] bondage [05656]: 5 26 7 And when we cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of our fathers [01], the LORD [03068] heard [08085] our voice [06963], and looked [07200] on our affliction [06040], and our labour [05999], and our oppression [03906]: 5 26 8 And the LORD [03068] brought us forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with an outstretched [05186] arm [02220], and with great [01419] terribleness [04172], and with signs [0226], and with wonders [04159]: 5 26 9 And he hath brought [0935] us into this place [04725], and hath given [05414] us this land [0776], even a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 5 26 10 And now, behold, I have brought [0935] the firstfruits [06529] [07225] of the land [0127], which thou, O LORD [03068], hast given [05414] me. And thou shalt set [03240] it before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and worship [07812] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: 5 26 11 And thou shalt rejoice [08055] in every good [02896] thing which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] unto thee, and unto thine house [01004], thou, and the Levite [03881], and the stranger [01616] that is among [07130] you. 5 26 12 When thou hast made an end [03615] of tithing [06237] all the tithes [04643] of thine increase [08393] the third [07992] year [08141], which is the year [08141] of tithing [04643], and hast given [05414] it unto the Levite [03881], the stranger [01616], the fatherless [03490], and the widow [0490], that they may eat [0398] within thy gates [08179], and be filled [07646]; 5 26 13 Then thou shalt say [0559] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], I have brought away [01197] the hallowed things [06944] out of mine house [01004], and also have given [05414] them unto the Levite [03881], and unto the stranger [01616], to the fatherless [03490], and to the widow [0490], according to all thy commandments [04687] which thou hast commanded [06680] me: I have not transgressed [05674] thy commandments [04687], neither have I forgotten [07911] them: 5 26 14 I have not eaten [0398] thereof in my mourning [0205], neither have I taken away [01197] ought thereof for any unclean [02931] use, nor given [05414] ought thereof for the dead [04191]: but I have hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], and have done [06213] according to all that thou hast commanded [06680] me. 5 26 15 Look down [08259] from thy holy [06944] habitation [04583], from heaven [08064], and bless [01288] thy people [05971] Israel [03478], and the land [0127] which thou hast given [05414] us, as thou swarest [07650] unto our fathers [01], a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 5 26 16 This day [03117] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath commanded [06680] thee to do [06213] these statutes [02706] and judgments [04941]: thou shalt therefore keep [08104] and do [06213] them with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315]. 5 26 17 Thou hast avouched [0559] the LORD [03068] this day [03117] to be thy God [0430], and to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his statutes [02706], and his commandments [04687], and his judgments [04941], and to hearken [08085] unto his voice [06963]: 5 26 18 And the LORD [03068] hath avouched [0559] thee this day [03117] to be his peculiar [05459] people [05971], as he hath promised [01696] thee, and that thou shouldest keep [08104] all his commandments [04687]; 5 26 19 And to make [05414] thee high [05945] above all nations [01471] which he hath made [06213], in praise [08416], and in name [08034], and in honour [08597]; and that thou mayest be an holy [06918] people [05971] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], as he hath spoken [01696]. 5 27 1 And Moses [04872] with the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] commanded [06680] the people [05971], saying [0559], Keep [08104] all the commandments [04687] which I command [06680] you this day [03117]. 5 27 2 And it shall be on the day [03117] when ye shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, that thou shalt set thee up [06965] great [01419] stones [068], and plaister [07874] them with plaister [07875]: 5 27 3 And thou shalt write [03789] upon them all the words [01697] of this law [08451], when thou art passed over [05674], that thou mayest go in [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee. 5 27 4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over [05674] Jordan [03383], that ye shall set up [06965] these stones [068], which I command [06680] you this day [03117], in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], and thou shalt plaister [07875] them with plaister [07874]. 5 27 5 And there shalt thou build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], an altar [04196] of stones [068]: thou shalt not lift up [05130] any iron [01270] tool upon them. 5 27 6 Thou shalt build [01129] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] of whole [08003] stones [068]: and thou shalt offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: 5 27 7 And thou shalt offer [02076] peace offerings [08002], and shalt eat [0398] there, and rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 27 8 And thou shalt write [03789] upon the stones [068] all the words [01697] of this law [08451] very [03190] plainly [0874]. 5 27 9 And Moses [04872] and the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] spake [01696] unto all Israel [03478], saying [0559], Take heed [05535], and hearken [08085], O Israel [03478]; this day [03117] thou art become [01961] the people [05971] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 27 10 Thou shalt therefore obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and do [06213] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02706], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]. 5 27 11 And Moses [04872] charged [06680] the people [05971] the same day [03117], saying [0559], 5 27 12 These shall stand [05975] upon mount [02022] Gerizim [01630] to bless [01288] the people [05971], when ye are come over [05674] Jordan [03383]; Simeon [08095], and Levi [03878], and Judah [03063], and Issachar [03485], and Joseph [03130], and Benjamin [01144]: 5 27 13 And these shall stand [05975] upon mount [02022] Ebal [05858] to curse [07045]; Reuben [07205], Gad [01410], and Asher [0836], and Zebulun [02074], Dan [01835], and Naphtali [05321]. 5 27 14 And the Levites [03881] shall speak [06030], and say [0559] unto all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] with a loud [07311] voice [06963], 5 27 15 Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] that maketh [06213] any graven [06459] or molten image [04541], an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068], the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of the craftsman [02796], and putteth [07760] it in a secret [05643] place. And all the people [05971] shall answer [06030] and say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 16 Cursed [0779] be he that setteth light [07034] by his father [01] or his mother [0517]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 17 Cursed [0779] be he that removeth [05253] his neighbour's [07453] landmark [01366]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 18 Cursed [0779] be he that maketh the blind [05787] to wander [07686] out of the way [01870]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 19 Cursed [0779] be he that perverteth [05186] the judgment [04941] of the stranger [01616], fatherless [03490], and widow [0490]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 20 Cursed [0779] be he that lieth [07901] with his father's [01] wife [0802]; because he uncovereth [01540] his father's [01] skirt [03671]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 21 Cursed [0779] be he that lieth [07901] with any manner of beast [0929]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 22 Cursed [0779] be he that lieth [07901] with his sister [0269], the daughter [01323] of his father [01], or the daughter [01323] of his mother [0517]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 23 Cursed [0779] be he that lieth [07901] with his mother in law [02859]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 24 Cursed [0779] be he that smiteth [05221] his neighbour [07453] secretly [05643]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 25 Cursed [0779] be he that taketh [03947] reward [07810] to slay [05221] an innocent [05355] person [05315] [01818]. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 27 26 Cursed [0779] be he that confirmeth [06965] not all the words [01697] of this law [08451] to do [06213] them. And all the people [05971] shall say [0559], Amen [0543]. 5 28 1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken [08085] diligently [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] and to do [06213] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will set [05414] thee on high [05945] above all nations [01471] of the earth [0776]: 5 28 2 And all these blessings [01293] shall come [0935] on thee, and overtake [05381] thee, if thou shalt hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 28 3 Blessed [01288] shalt thou be in the city [05892], and blessed [01288] shalt thou be in the field [07704]. 5 28 4 Blessed [01288] shall be the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and the fruit [06529] of thy ground [0127], and the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], and the flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629]. 5 28 5 Blessed [01288] shall be thy basket [02935] and thy store [04863]. 5 28 6 Blessed [01288] shalt thou be when thou comest in [0935], and blessed [01288] shalt thou be when thou goest out [03318]. 5 28 7 The LORD [03068] shall cause [05414] thine enemies [0341] that rise up [06965] against thee to be smitten [05062] before thy face [06440]: they shall come out [03318] against thee one [0259] way [01870], and flee [05127] before [06440] thee seven [07651] ways [01870]. 5 28 8 The LORD [03068] shall command [06680] the blessing [01293] upon thee in thy storehouses [0618], and in all that thou settest [04916] thine hand [03027] unto; and he shall bless [01288] thee in the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee. 5 28 9 The LORD [03068] shall establish [06965] thee an holy [06918] people [05971] unto himself, as he hath sworn [07650] unto thee, if thou shalt keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and walk [01980] in his ways [01870]. 5 28 10 And all people [05971] of the earth [0776] shall see [07200] that thou art called [07121] by the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]; and they shall be afraid [03372] of thee. 5 28 11 And the LORD [03068] shall make thee plenteous [03498] in goods [02896], in the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and in the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and in the fruit [06529] of thy ground [0127], in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01] to give [05414] thee. 5 28 12 The LORD [03068] shall open [06605] unto thee his good [02896] treasure [0214], the heaven [08064] to give [05414] the rain [04306] unto thy land [0776] in his season [06256], and to bless [01288] all the work [04639] of thine hand [03027]: and thou shalt lend [03867] unto many [07227] nations [01471], and thou shalt not borrow [03867]. 5 28 13 And the LORD [03068] shall make [05414] thee the head [07218], and not the tail [02180]; and thou shalt be above only [04605], and thou shalt not be beneath [04295]; if that thou hearken [08085] unto the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to observe [08104] and to do [06213] them: 5 28 14 And thou shalt not go aside [05493] from any of the words [01697] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to the right hand [03225], or to the left [08040], to go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them. 5 28 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to observe [08104] to do [06213] all his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]; that all these curses [07045] shall come [0935] upon thee, and overtake [05381] thee: 5 28 16 Cursed [0779] shalt thou be in the city [05892], and cursed [0779] shalt thou be in the field [07704]. 5 28 17 Cursed [0779] shall be thy basket [02935] and thy store [04863]. 5 28 18 Cursed [0779] shall be the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], and the flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629]. 5 28 19 Cursed [0779] shalt thou be when thou comest in [0935], and cursed [0779] shalt thou be when thou goest out [03318]. 5 28 20 The LORD [03068] shall send [07971] upon thee cursing [03994], vexation [04103], and rebuke [04045], in all that thou settest [04916] thine hand [03027] unto for to do [06213], until thou be destroyed [08045], and until thou perish [06] quickly [04118]; because [06440] of the wickedness [07455] of thy doings [04611], whereby thou hast forsaken [05800] me. 5 28 21 The LORD [03068] shall make the pestilence [01698] cleave [01692] unto thee, until he have consumed [03615] thee from off the land [0127], whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 28 22 The LORD [03068] shall smite [05221] thee with a consumption [07829], and with a fever [06920], and with an inflammation [01816], and with an extreme burning [02746], and with the sword [02719], and with blasting [07711], and with mildew [03420]; and they shall pursue [07291] thee until thou perish [06]. 5 28 23 And thy heaven [08064] that is over thy head [07218] shall be brass [05178], and the earth [0776] that is under thee shall be iron [01270]. 5 28 24 The LORD [03068] shall make [05414] the rain [04306] of thy land [0776] powder [080] and dust [06083]: from heaven [08064] shall it come down [03381] upon thee, until thou be destroyed [08045]. 5 28 25 The LORD [03068] shall cause [05414] thee to be smitten [05062] before [06440] thine enemies [0341]: thou shalt go out [03318] one [0259] way [01870] against them, and flee [05127] seven [07651] ways [01870] before [06440] them: and shalt be removed [02189] into all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]. 5 28 26 And thy carcase [05038] shall be meat [03978] unto all fowls [05775] of the air [08064], and unto the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776], and no man shall fray them away [02729]. 5 28 27 The LORD [03068] will smite [05221] thee with the botch [07822] of Egypt [04714], and with the emerods [02914] [06076], and with the scab [01618], and with the itch [02775], whereof thou canst [03201] not be healed [07495]. 5 28 28 The LORD [03068] shall smite [05221] thee with madness [07697], and blindness [05788], and astonishment [08541] of heart [03824]: 5 28 29 And thou shalt grope [04959] at noonday [06672], as the blind [05787] gropeth [04959] in darkness [0653], and thou shalt not prosper [06743] in thy ways [01870]: and thou shalt be only oppressed [06231] and spoiled [01497] evermore [03117], and no man shall save [03467] thee. 5 28 30 Thou shalt betroth [0781] a wife [0802], and another [0312] man [0376] shall lie [07901] [07693] with her: thou shalt build [01129] an house [01004], and thou shalt not dwell [03427] therein: thou shalt plant [05193] a vineyard [03754], and shalt not gather the grapes [02490] thereof. 5 28 31 Thine ox [07794] shall be slain [02873] before thine eyes [05869], and thou shalt not eat [0398] thereof: thine ass [02543] shall be violently taken away [01497] from before thy face [06440], and shall not be restored [07725] to thee: thy sheep [06629] shall be given [05414] unto thine enemies [0341], and thou shalt have none to rescue [03467] them. 5 28 32 Thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] shall be given [05414] unto another [0312] people [05971], and thine eyes [05869] shall look [07200], and fail [03616] with longing for them all the day [03117] long: and there shall be no might [0410] in thine hand [03027]. 5 28 33 The fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], and all thy labours [03018], shall a nation [05971] which thou knowest [03045] not eat up [0398]; and thou shalt be only oppressed [06231] and crushed [07533] alway [03117]: 5 28 34 So that thou shalt be mad [07696] for the sight [04758] of thine eyes [05869] which thou shalt see [07200]. 5 28 35 The LORD [03068] shall smite [05221] thee in the knees [01290], and in the legs [07785], with a sore [07451] botch [07822] that cannot [03201] be healed [07495], from the sole [03709] of thy foot [07272] unto the top of thy head [06936]. 5 28 36 The LORD [03068] shall bring [03212] thee, and thy king [04428] which thou shalt set [06965] over thee, unto a nation [01471] which neither thou nor thy fathers [01] have known [03045]; and there shalt thou serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], wood [06086] and stone [068]. 5 28 37 And thou shalt become an astonishment [08047], a proverb [04912], and a byword [08148], among all nations [05971] whither the LORD [03068] shall lead [05090] thee. 5 28 38 Thou shalt carry [03318] much [07227] seed [02233] out [03318] into the field [07704], and shalt gather [0622] but little [04592] in [0622]; for the locust [0697] shall consume [02628] it. 5 28 39 Thou shalt plant [05193] vineyards [03754], and dress [05647] them, but shalt neither drink [08354] of the wine [03196], nor gather [0103] the grapes; for the worms [08438] shall eat [0398] them. 5 28 40 Thou shalt have olive trees [02132] throughout all thy coasts [01366], but thou shalt not anoint [05480] thyself with the oil [08081]; for thine olive [02132] shall cast [05394] his fruit. 5 28 41 Thou shalt beget [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323], but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]. 5 28 42 All thy trees [06086] and fruit [06529] of thy land [0127] shall the locust [06767] consume [03423]. 5 28 43 The stranger [01616] that is within [07130] thee shall get up [05927] above thee very [04605] high [04605]; and thou shalt come down [03381] very [04295] low [04295]. 5 28 44 He shall lend [03867] to thee, and thou shalt not lend [03867] to him: he shall be the head [07218], and thou shalt be the tail [02180]. 5 28 45 Moreover all these curses [07045] shall come [0935] upon thee, and shall pursue [07291] thee, and overtake [05381] thee, till thou be destroyed [08045]; because thou hearkenedst [08085] not unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which he commanded [06680] thee: 5 28 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign [0226] and for a wonder [04159], and upon thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769]. 5 28 47 Because thou servedst [05647] not the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with joyfulness [08057], and with gladness [02898] of heart [03824], for the abundance [07230] of all things; 5 28 48 Therefore shalt thou serve [05647] thine enemies [0341] which the LORD [03068] shall send [07971] against thee, in hunger [07458], and in thirst [06772], and in nakedness [05903], and in want [02640] of all things: and he shall put [05414] a yoke [05923] of iron [01270] upon thy neck [06677], until he have destroyed [08045] thee. 5 28 49 The LORD [03068] shall bring [05375] a nation [01471] against thee from far [07350], from the end [07097] of the earth [0776], as swift as the eagle [05404] flieth [01675]; a nation [01471] whose tongue [03956] thou shalt not understand [08085]; 5 28 50 A nation [01471] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], which shall not regard [05375] the person [06440] of the old [02205], nor shew favour [02603] to the young [05288]: 5 28 51 And he shall eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], until thou be destroyed [08045]: which also shall not leave [07604] thee either corn [01715], wine [08492], or oil [03323], or the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], or flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629], until he have destroyed [06] thee. 5 28 52 And he shall besiege [06887] thee in all thy gates [08179], until thy high [01364] and fenced [01219] walls [02346] come down [03381], wherein [02004] thou trustedst [0982], throughout all thy land [0776]: and he shall besiege [06887] thee in all thy gates [08179] throughout all thy land [0776], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] thee. 5 28 53 And thou shalt eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of thine own body [0990], the flesh [01320] of thy sons [01121] and of thy daughters [01323], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath given [05414] thee, in the siege [04692], and in the straitness [04689], wherewith thine enemies [0341] shall distress [06693] thee: 5 28 54 So that the man [0376] that is tender [07390] among you, and very [03966] delicate [06028], his eye [05869] shall be evil [03415] toward his brother [0251], and toward the wife [0802] of his bosom [02436], and toward the remnant [03499] of his children [01121] which he shall leave [03498]: 5 28 55 So that he will not give [05414] to any [0259] of them of the flesh [01320] of his children [01121] whom he shall eat [0398]: because he hath nothing left [07604] him in the siege [04692], and in the straitness [04689], wherewith thine enemies [0341] shall distress [06693] thee in all thy gates [08179]. 5 28 56 The tender [07390] and delicate [06028] woman among you, which would not adventure [05254] to set [03322] the sole [03709] of her foot [07272] upon the ground [0776] for delicateness [06026] and tenderness [07391], her eye [05869] shall be evil [03415] toward the husband [0376] of her bosom [02436], and toward her son [01121], and toward her daughter [01323], 5 28 57 And toward her young one [07988] that cometh out [03318] from between her feet [07272], and toward her children [01121] which she shall bear [03205]: for she shall eat [0398] them for want [02640] of all things secretly [05643] in the siege [04692] and straitness [04689], wherewith thine enemy [0341] shall distress [06693] thee in thy gates [08179]. 5 28 58 If thou wilt not observe [08104] to do [06213] all the words [01697] of this law [08451] that are written [03789] in this book [05612], that thou mayest fear [03372] this glorious [03513] and fearful [03372] name [08034], THE LORD [03068] THY GOD [0430]; 5 28 59 Then the LORD [03068] will make [06381] thy plagues [04347] wonderful [06381], and the plagues [04347] of thy seed [02233], even great [01419] plagues [04347], and of long continuance [0539], and sore [07451] sicknesses [02483], and of long continuance [0539]. 5 28 60 Moreover he will bring [07725] upon thee all the diseases [04064] of Egypt [04714], which thou wast afraid [03025] of [06440]; and they shall cleave [01692] unto thee. 5 28 61 Also every sickness [02483], and every plague [04347], which is not written [03789] in the book [05612] of this law [08451], them will the LORD [03068] bring [05927] upon thee, until thou be destroyed [08045]. 5 28 62 And ye shall be left [07604] few [04592] in number [04962], whereas [0834] ye were as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064] for multitude [07230]; because thou wouldest not obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 5 28 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD [03068] rejoiced [07797] over you to do you good [03190], and to multiply [07235] you; so the LORD [03068] will rejoice [07797] over you to destroy [06] you, and to bring you to nought [08045]; and ye shall be plucked [05255] from off the land [0127] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 28 64 And the LORD [03068] shall scatter [06327] thee among all people [05971], from the one end [07097] of the earth [0776] even unto the other [07097]; and there thou shalt serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], which neither thou nor thy fathers [01] have known [03045], even wood [06086] and stone [068]. 5 28 65 And among these [01992] nations [01471] shalt thou find no ease [07280], neither shall the sole [03709] of thy foot [07272] have rest [04494]: but the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] thee there a trembling [07268] heart [03820], and failing [03631] of eyes [05869], and sorrow [01671] of mind [05315]: 5 28 66 And thy life [02416] shall hang [08511] in doubt before [05048] thee; and thou shalt fear [06342] day [03119] and night [03915], and shalt have none assurance [0539] of thy life [02416]: 5 28 67 In the morning [01242] thou shalt say [0559], Would God it were [05414] even [06153]! and at even [06153] thou shalt say [0559], Would God it were [05414] morning [01242]! for the fear [06343] of thine heart [03824] wherewith thou shalt fear [06342], and for the sight [04758] of thine eyes [05869] which thou shalt see [07200]. 5 28 68 And the LORD [03068] shall bring [07725] thee into Egypt [04714] again [07725] with ships [0591], by the way [01870] whereof I spake [0559] unto thee, Thou shalt see [07200] it no more again [03254]: and there ye shall be sold [04376] unto your enemies [0341] for bondmen [05650] and bondwomen [08198], and no man shall buy [07069] you. 5 29 1 These are the words [01697] of the covenant [01285], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] to make [03772] with the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], beside the covenant [01285] which he made [03772] with them in Horeb [02722]. 5 29 2 And Moses [04872] called [07121] unto all Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Ye have seen [07200] all that the LORD [03068] did [06213] before your eyes [05869] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] unto Pharaoh [06547], and unto all his servants [05650], and unto all his land [0776]; 5 29 3 The great [01419] temptations [04531] which thine eyes [05869] have seen [07200], the signs [0226], and those great [01419] miracles [04159]: 5 29 4 Yet the LORD [03068] hath not given [05414] you an heart [03820] to perceive [03045], and eyes [05869] to see [07200], and ears [0241] to hear [08085], unto this day [03117]. 5 29 5 And I have led [03212] you forty [0705] years [08141] in the wilderness [04057]: your clothes [08008] are not waxen old [01086] upon you, and thy shoe [05275] is not waxen old [01086] upon thy foot [07272]. 5 29 6 Ye have not eaten [0398] bread [03899], neither have ye drunk [08354] wine [03196] or strong drink [07941]: that ye might know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 5 29 7 And when ye came [0935] unto this place [04725], Sihon [05511] the king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], and Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316], came out [03318] against [07125] us unto battle [04421], and we smote [05221] them: 5 29 8 And we took [03947] their land [0776], and gave [05414] it for an inheritance [05159] unto the Reubenites [07206], and to the Gadites [01425], and to the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04520]. 5 29 9 Keep [08104] therefore the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], and do [06213] them, that ye may prosper [07919] in all that ye do [06213]. 5 29 10 Ye stand [05324] this day [03117] all of you before [06440] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; your captains [07218] of your tribes [07626], your elders [02205], and your officers [07860], with all the men [0376] of Israel [03478], 5 29 11 Your little ones [02945], your wives [0802], and thy stranger [01616] that is in [07130] thy camp [04264], from the hewer [02404] of thy wood [06086] unto the drawer [07579] of thy water [04325]: 5 29 12 That thou shouldest enter [05674] into covenant [01285] with the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and into his oath [0423], which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] maketh [03772] with thee this day [03117]: 5 29 13 That he may establish [06965] thee to day [03117] for a people [05971] unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God [0430], as he hath said [01696] unto thee, and as he hath sworn [07650] unto thy fathers [01], to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290]. 5 29 14 Neither with you only do I make [03772] this covenant [01285] and this oath [0423]; 5 29 15 But with him that standeth [05975] here with us this [03426] day [03117] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and also with him that is not here with us this day [03117]: 5 29 16 (For ye know [03045] how we have dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and how we came [05674] through [07130] the nations [01471] which ye passed by [05674]; 5 29 17 And ye have seen [07200] their abominations [08251], and their idols [01544], wood [06086] and stone [068], silver [03701] and gold [02091], which were among them:) 5 29 18 Lest there should be [03426] among you man [0376], or woman [0802], or family [04940], or tribe [07626], whose heart [03824] turneth away [06437] this day [03117] from the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to go [03212] and serve [05647] the gods [0430] of these nations [01471]; lest there should be [03426] among you a root [08328] that beareth [06509] gall [07219] and wormwood [03939]; 5 29 19 And it come to pass, when he heareth [08085] the words [01697] of this curse [0423], that he bless [01288] himself in his heart [03824], saying [0559], I shall have peace [07965], though [03588] I walk [03212] in the imagination [08307] of mine heart [03820], to add [05595] drunkenness [07302] to thirst [06771]: 5 29 20 The LORD [03068] will [014] not spare [05545] him, but then the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] and his jealousy [07068] shall smoke [06225] against that man [0376], and all the curses [0423] that are written [03789] in this book [05612] shall lie [07257] upon him, and the LORD [03068] shall blot out [04229] his name [08034] from under heaven [08064]. 5 29 21 And the LORD [03068] shall separate [0914] him unto evil [07451] out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], according to all the curses [0423] of the covenant [01285] that are written [03789] in this book [05612] of the law [08451]: 5 29 22 So that the generation [01755] to come [0314] of your children [01121] that shall rise up [06965] after [0310] you, and the stranger [05237] that shall come [0935] from a far [07350] land [0776], shall say [0559], when they see [07200] the plagues [04347] of that land [0776], and the sicknesses [08463] which the LORD [03068] hath laid [02470] upon it; 5 29 23 And that the whole land [0776] thereof is brimstone [01614], and salt [04417], and burning [08316], that it is not sown [02232], nor beareth [06779], nor any grass [06212] groweth [05927] therein, like the overthrow [04114] of Sodom [05467], and Gomorrah [06017], Admah [0126], and Zeboim [06636], which the LORD [03068] overthrew [02015] in his anger [0639], and in his wrath [02534]: 5 29 24 Even all nations [01471] shall say [0559], Wherefore hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this land [0776]? what meaneth the heat [02750] of this great [01419] anger [0639]? 5 29 25 Then men shall say [0559], Because they have forsaken [05800] the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], which he made [03772] with them when he brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: 5 29 26 For they went [03212] and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] them, gods [0430] whom they knew [03045] not, and whom he had not given [02505] unto them: 5 29 27 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against this land [0776], to bring [0935] upon it all the curses [07045] that are written [03789] in this book [05612]: 5 29 28 And the LORD [03068] rooted [05428] them out of their land [0127] in anger [0639], and in wrath [02534], and in great [01419] indignation [07110], and cast [07993] them into another [0312] land [0776], as it is this day [03117]. 5 29 29 The secret [05641] things belong unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: but those things which are revealed [01540] belong unto us and to our children [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], that we may do [06213] all the words [01697] of this law [08451]. 5 30 1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things [01697] are come [0935] upon thee, the blessing [01293] and the curse [07045], which I have set [05414] before [06440] thee, and thou shalt call [07725] them to mind [03824] among all the nations [01471], whither the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath driven [05080] thee, 5 30 2 And shalt return [07725] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and shalt obey [08085] his voice [06963] according to all that I command [06680] thee this day [03117], thou and thy children [01121], with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315]; 5 30 3 That then the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will turn [07725] thy captivity [07622], and have compassion [07355] upon thee, and will return [07725] and gather [06908] thee from all the nations [05971], whither the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath scattered [06327] thee. 5 30 4 If any of thine be driven out [05080] unto the outmost [07097] parts of heaven [08064], from thence will the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] gather [06908] thee, and from thence will he fetch [03947] thee: 5 30 5 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will bring [0935] thee into the land [0776] which thy fathers [01] possessed [03423], and thou shalt possess [03423] it; and he will do thee good [03190], and multiply [07235] thee above thy fathers [01]. 5 30 6 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will circumcise [04135] thine heart [03824], and the heart [03824] of thy seed [02233], to love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315], that thou mayest live [02416]. 5 30 7 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will put [05414] all these curses [0423] upon thine enemies [0341], and on them that hate [08130] thee, which persecuted [07291] thee. 5 30 8 And thou shalt return [07725] and obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], and do [06213] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117]. 5 30 9 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will make thee plenteous [03498] in every work [04639] of thine hand [03027], in the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and in the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and in the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], for good [02896]: for the LORD [03068] will again [07725] rejoice [07797] over thee for good [02896], as he rejoiced [07797] over thy fathers [01]: 5 30 10 If thou shalt hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which are written [03789] in this book [05612] of the law [08451], and if thou turn [07725] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315]. 5 30 11 For this commandment [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], it is not hidden [06381] from thee, neither is it far off [07350]. 5 30 12 It is not in heaven [08064], that thou shouldest say [0559], Who shall go up [05927] for us to heaven [08064], and bring [03947] it unto us, that we may hear [08085] it, and do [06213] it? 5 30 13 Neither is it beyond [05676] the sea [03220], that thou shouldest say [0559], Who shall go [05674] over [05676] the sea [03220] for us, and bring [03947] it unto us, that we may hear [08085] it, and do [06213] it? 5 30 14 But the word [01697] is very [03966] nigh [07138] unto thee, in thy mouth [06310], and in thy heart [03824], that thou mayest do [06213] it. 5 30 15 See [07200], I have set [05414] before [06440] thee this day [03117] life [02416] and good [02896], and death [04194] and evil [07451]; 5 30 16 In that I command [06680] thee this day [03117] to love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] and his judgments [04941], that thou mayest live [02421] and multiply [07235]: and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall bless [01288] thee in the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 30 17 But if thine heart [03824] turn away [06437], so that thou wilt not hear [08085], but shalt be drawn away [05080], and worship [07812] other [0312] gods [0430], and serve [05647] them; 5 30 18 I denounce [05046] unto you this day [03117], that ye shall surely [06] perish [06], and that ye shall not prolong [0748] your days [03117] upon the land [0127], whither thou passest over [05674] Jordan [03383] to go [0935] to possess [03423] it. 5 30 19 I call [05749] heaven [08064] and earth [0776] to record [05749] this day [03117] against you, that I have set [05414] before [06440] you life [02416] and death [04194], blessing [01293] and cursing [07045]: therefore choose [0977] life [02416], that both thou and thy seed [02233] may live [02421]: 5 30 20 That thou mayest love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and that thou mayest obey [08085] his voice [06963], and that thou mayest cleave [01692] unto him: for he is thy life [02416], and the length [0753] of thy days [03117]: that thou mayest dwell [03427] in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01], to Abraham [085], to Isaac [03327], and to Jacob [03290], to give [05414] them. 5 31 1 And Moses [04872] went [03212] and spake [01696] these words [01697] unto all Israel [03478]. 5 31 2 And he said [0559] unto them, I am an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] this day [03117]; I can [03201] no more go out [03318] and come in [0935]: also the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto me, Thou shalt not go over [05674] this Jordan [03383]. 5 31 3 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430], he will go over [05674] before [06440] thee, and he will destroy [08045] these nations [01471] from before [06440] thee, and thou shalt possess [03423] them: and Joshua [03091], he shall go over [05674] before [06440] thee, as the LORD [03068] hath said [01696]. 5 31 4 And the LORD [03068] shall do [06213] unto them as he did [06213] to Sihon [05511] and to Og [05747], kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and unto the land [0776] of them, whom he destroyed [08045]. 5 31 5 And the LORD [03068] shall give them up [05414] before your face [06440], that ye may do [06213] unto them according unto all the commandments [04687] which I have commanded [06680] you. 5 31 6 Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553], fear [03372] not, nor be afraid [06206] of them [06440]: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], he it is that doth go [01980] with thee; he will not fail [07503] thee, nor forsake [05800] thee. 5 31 7 And Moses [04872] called [07121] unto Joshua [03091], and said [0559] unto him in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478], Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]: for thou must go [0935] with this people [05971] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] unto their fathers [01] to give [05414] them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit [05157] it. 5 31 8 And the LORD [03068], he it is that doth go [01980] before [06440] thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail [07503] thee, neither forsake [05800] thee: fear [03372] not, neither be dismayed [02865]. 5 31 9 And Moses [04872] wrote [03789] this law [08451], and delivered [05414] it unto the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Levi [03878], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and unto all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]. 5 31 10 And Moses [04872] commanded [06680] them, saying [0559], At the end [07093] of every seven [07651] years [08141], in the solemnity [04150] of the year [08141] of release [08059], in the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521], 5 31 11 When all Israel [03478] is come [0935] to appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the place [04725] which he shall choose [0977], thou shalt read [07121] this law [08451] before all Israel [03478] in their hearing [0241]. 5 31 12 Gather [06950] the people [05971] together [06950], men [0582], and women [0802], and children [02945], and thy stranger [01616] that is within thy gates [08179], that they may hear [08085], and that they may learn [03925], and fear [03372] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and observe [08104] to do [06213] all the words [01697] of this law [08451]: 5 31 13 And that their children [01121], which have not known [03045] any thing, may hear [08085], and learn [03925] to fear [03372] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], as long as [03117] ye live [02416] in the land [0127] whither ye go over [05674] Jordan [03383] to possess [03423] it. 5 31 14 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Behold, thy days [03117] approach [07126] that thou must die [04191]: call [07121] Joshua [03091], and present [03320] yourselves in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], that I may give him a charge [06680]. And Moses [04872] and Joshua [03091] went [03212], and presented [03320] themselves in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 5 31 15 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] in the tabernacle [0168] in a pillar [05982] of a cloud [06051]: and the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051] stood [05975] over the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168]. 5 31 16 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Behold, thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01]; and this people [05971] will rise up [06965], and go a whoring [02181] after [0310] the gods [0430] of the strangers [05236] of the land [0776], whither they go [0935] to be among [07130] them, and will forsake [05800] me, and break [06565] my covenant [01285] which I have made [03772] with them. 5 31 17 Then my anger [0639] shall be kindled [02734] against them in that day [03117], and I will forsake [05800] them, and I will hide [05641] my face [06440] from them, and they shall be devoured [0398], and many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] shall befall [04672] them; so that they will say [0559] in that day [03117], Are not these evils [07451] come [04672] upon us, because our God [0430] is not among [07130] us? 5 31 18 And I will surely [05641] hide [05641] my face [06440] in that day [03117] for all the evils [07451] which they shall have wrought [06213], in that [03588] they are turned [06437] unto other [0312] gods [0430]. 5 31 19 Now therefore write [03789] ye this song [07892] for you, and teach [03925] it the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: put [07760] it in their mouths [06310], that this song [07892] may be a witness [05707] for me against the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 31 20 For when I shall have brought [0935] them into the land [0127] which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01], that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; and they shall have eaten [0398] and filled [07646] themselves, and waxen fat [01878]; then will they turn [06437] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and serve [05647] them, and provoke [05006] me, and break [06565] my covenant [01285]. 5 31 21 And it shall come to pass, when many [07227] evils [07451] and troubles [06869] are befallen [04672] them, that this song [07892] shall testify [06030] against [06440] them as a witness [05707]; for it shall not be forgotten [07911] out of the mouths [06310] of their seed [02233]: for I know [03045] their imagination [03336] which they go about [06213], even now [03117], before I have brought [0935] them into the land [0776] which I sware [07650]. 5 31 22 Moses [04872] therefore wrote [03789] this song [07892] the same day [03117], and taught [03925] it the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 31 23 And he gave Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] a charge [06680], and said [0559], Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]: for thou shalt bring [0935] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] into the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto them: and I will be with thee. 5 31 24 And it came to pass, when Moses [04872] had made an end [03615] of writing [03789] the words [01697] of this law [08451] in a book [05612], until they were finished [08552], 5 31 25 That Moses [04872] commanded [06680] the Levites [03881], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 5 31 26 Take [03947] this book [05612] of the law [08451], and put [07760] it in the side [06654] of the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], that it may be there for a witness [05707] against thee. 5 31 27 For I know [03045] thy rebellion [04805], and thy stiff [07186] neck [06203]: behold, while I am yet alive [02416] with you this day [03117], ye have been rebellious [04784] against the LORD [03068]; and how much more after [0310] my death [04194]? 5 31 28 Gather [06950] unto me all the elders [02205] of your tribes [07626], and your officers [07860], that I may speak [01696] these words [01697] in their ears [0241], and call [05749] heaven [08064] and earth [0776] to record [05749] against them. 5 31 29 For I know [03045] that after [0310] my death [04194] ye will utterly [07843] corrupt [07843] yourselves, and turn aside [05493] from the way [01870] which I have commanded [06680] you; and evil [07451] will befall [07122] you in the latter [0319] days [03117]; because ye will do [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707] through the work [04639] of your hands [03027]. 5 31 30 And Moses [04872] spake [01696] in the ears [0241] of all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478] the words [01697] of this song [07892], until they were ended [08552]. 5 32 1 Give ear [0238], O ye heavens [08064], and I will speak [01696]; and hear [08085], O earth [0776], the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 5 32 2 My doctrine [03948] shall drop [06201] as the rain [04306], my speech [0565] shall distil [05140] as the dew [02919], as the small rain [08164] upon the tender herb [01877], and as the showers [07241] upon the grass [06212]: 5 32 3 Because I will publish [07121] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]: ascribe [03051] ye greatness [01433] unto our God [0430]. 5 32 4 He is the Rock [06697], his work [06467] is perfect [08549]: for all his ways [01870] are judgment [04941]: a God [0410] of truth [0530] and without iniquity [05766], just [06662] and right [03477] is he. 5 32 5 They have corrupted [07843] themselves, their spot [03971] is not the spot of his children [01121]: they are a perverse [06141] and crooked [06618] generation [01755]. 5 32 6 Do ye thus requite [01580] the LORD [03068], O foolish [05036] people [05971] and unwise [02450]? is not he thy father [01] that hath bought [07069] thee? hath he not made [06213] thee, and established [03559] thee? 5 32 7 Remember [02142] the days [03117] of old [05769], consider [0995] the years [08141] of many [01755] generations [01755]: ask [07592] thy father [01], and he will shew [05046] thee; thy elders [02205], and they will tell [0559] thee. 5 32 8 When the most High [05945] divided [05157] to the nations [01471] their inheritance [05157], when he separated [06504] the sons [01121] of Adam [0120], he set [05324] the bounds [01367] of the people [05971] according to the number [04557] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 32 9 For the LORD'S [03068] portion [02506] is his people [05971]; Jacob [03290] is the lot [02256] of his inheritance [05159]. 5 32 10 He found [04672] him in a desert [04057] land [0776], and in the waste [08414] howling [03214] wilderness [03452]; he led him about [05437], he instructed [0995] him, he kept [05341] him as the apple [0380] of his eye [05869]. 5 32 11 As an eagle [05404] stirreth up [05782] her nest [07064], fluttereth [07363] over her young [01469], spreadeth abroad [06566] her wings [03671], taketh [03947] them, beareth [05375] them on her wings [084]: 5 32 12 So the LORD [03068] alone [0910] did lead [05148] him, and there was no strange [05236] god [0410] with him. 5 32 13 He made him ride [07392] on the high places [01116] of the earth [0776], that he might eat [0398] the increase [08570] of the fields [07704]; and he made him to suck [03243] honey [01706] out of the rock [05553], and oil [08081] out of the flinty [02496] rock [06697]; 5 32 14 Butter [02529] of kine [01241], and milk [02461] of sheep [06629], with fat [02459] of lambs [03733], and rams [0352] of the breed [01121] of Bashan [01316], and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of kidneys [03629] of wheat [02406]; and thou didst drink [08354] the pure [02561] blood [01818] of the grape [06025]. 5 32 15 But Jeshurun [03484] waxed fat [08080], and kicked [01163]: thou art waxen fat [08080], thou art grown thick [05666], thou art covered [03780] with fatness; then he forsook [05203] God [0433] which made [06213] him, and lightly esteemed [05034] the Rock [06697] of his salvation [03444]. 5 32 16 They provoked him to jealousy [07065] with strange [02114] gods, with abominations [08441] provoked they him to anger [03707]. 5 32 17 They sacrificed [02076] unto devils [07700], not to God [0433]; to gods [0430] whom they knew [03045] not, to new [02319] gods that came [0935] newly [07138] up [0935], whom your fathers [01] feared [08175] not. 5 32 18 Of the Rock [06697] that begat [03205] thee thou art unmindful [07876], and hast forgotten [07911] God [0410] that formed [02342] thee. 5 32 19 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] it, he abhorred [05006] them, because of the provoking [03708] of his sons [01121], and of his daughters [01323]. 5 32 20 And he said [0559], I will hide [05641] my face [06440] from them, I will see [07200] what their end [0319] shall be: for they are a very froward [08419] generation [01755], children [01121] in whom is no faith [0529]. 5 32 21 They have moved me to jealousy [07065] with that which is not [03808] God [0410]; they have provoked me to anger [03707] with their vanities [01892]: and I will move them to jealousy [07065] with those which are not a people [05971]; I will provoke them to anger [03707] with a foolish [05036] nation [01471]. 5 32 22 For a fire [0784] is kindled [06919] in mine anger [0639], and shall burn [03344] unto the lowest [08482] hell [07585], and shall consume [0398] the earth [0776] with her increase [02981], and set on fire [03857] the foundations [04144] of the mountains [02022]. 5 32 23 I will heap [05595] mischiefs [07451] upon them; I will spend [03615] mine arrows [02671] upon them. 5 32 24 They shall be burnt [04198] with hunger [07458], and devoured [03898] with burning heat [07565], and with bitter [04815] destruction [06986]: I will also send [07971] the teeth [08127] of beasts [0929] upon them, with the poison [02534] of serpents [02119] of the dust [06083]. 5 32 25 The sword [02719] without [02351], and terror [0367] within [02315], shall destroy [07921] both the young man [0970] and the virgin [01330], the suckling [03243] also with the man [0376] of gray hairs [07872]. 5 32 26 I said [0559], I would scatter them into corners [06284], I would make the remembrance [02143] of them to cease [07673] from among men [0582]: 5 32 27 Were it not [03884] that I feared [01481] the wrath [03708] of the enemy [0341], lest their adversaries [06862] should behave themselves strangely [05234], and lest they should say [0559], Our hand [03027] is high [07311], and the LORD [03068] hath not done [06466] all this. 5 32 28 For they are a nation [01471] void [06] of counsel [06098], neither is there any understanding [08394] in them. 5 32 29 O that [03863] they were wise [02449], that they understood [07919] this, that they would consider [0995] their latter end [0319]! 5 32 30 How should one [0259] chase [07291] a thousand [0505], and two [08147] put ten [07233] thousand [0505] to flight [05127], except [03808] their Rock [06697] had sold [04376] them [03588], and the LORD [03068] had shut them up [05462]? 5 32 31 For their rock [06697] is not as our Rock [06697], even our enemies [0341] themselves being judges [06414]. 5 32 32 For their vine [01612] is of the vine [01612] of Sodom [05467], and of the fields [07709] of Gomorrah [06017]: their grapes [06025] are grapes [06025] of gall [07219], their clusters [0811] are bitter [04846]: 5 32 33 Their wine [03196] is the poison [02534] of dragons [08577], and the cruel [0393] venom [07219] of asps [06620]. 5 32 34 Is not this laid up in store [03647] with me, and sealed up [02856] among my treasures [0214]? 5 32 35 To me belongeth vengeance [05359], and recompence [08005]; their foot [07272] shall slide [04131] in due time [06256]: for the day [03117] of their calamity [0343] is at hand [07138], and the things that shall come [06264] upon them make haste [02363]. 5 32 36 For the LORD [03068] shall judge [01777] his people [05971], and repent [05162] himself for his servants [05650], when he seeth [07200] that their power [03027] is gone [0235], and there is none [0657] shut up [06113], or left [05800]. 5 32 37 And he shall say [0559], Where are their gods [0430], their rock [06697] in whom they trusted [02620], 5 32 38 Which did eat [0398] the fat [02459] of their sacrifices [02077], and drank [08354] the wine [03196] of their drink offerings [05257]? let them rise up [06965] and help [05826] you, and be your protection [05643]. 5 32 39 See [07200] now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god [0430] with me: I kill [04191], and I make alive [02421]; I wound [04272], and I heal [07495]: neither is there any that can deliver [05337] out of my hand [03027]. 5 32 40 For I lift up [05375] my hand [03027] to heaven [08064], and say [0559], I live [02416] for ever [05769]. 5 32 41 If I whet [08150] my glittering [01300] sword [02719], and mine hand [03027] take hold [0270] on judgment [04941]; I will render [07725] vengeance [05359] to mine enemies [06862], and will reward [07999] them that hate [08130] me. 5 32 42 I will make mine arrows [02671] drunk [07937] with blood [01818], and my sword [02719] shall devour [0398] flesh [01320]; and that with the blood [01818] of the slain [02491] and of the captives [07633], from the beginning [07218] of revenges [06546] upon the enemy [0341]. 5 32 43 Rejoice [07442], O ye nations [01471], with his people [05971]: for he will avenge [05358] the blood [01818] of his servants [05650], and will render [07725] vengeance [05359] to his adversaries [06862], and will be merciful [03722] unto his land [0127], and to his people [05971]. 5 32 44 And Moses [04872] came [0935] and spake [01696] all the words [01697] of this song [07892] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], he, and Hoshea [01954] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 5 32 45 And Moses [04872] made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all these words [01697] to all Israel [03478]: 5 32 46 And he said [0559] unto them, Set [07760] your hearts [03824] unto all the words [01697] which I testify [05749] among you this day [03117], which ye shall command [06680] your children [01121] to observe [08104] to do [06213], all the words [01697] of this law [08451]. 5 32 47 For it is not a vain [07386] thing [01697] for you; because it is your life [02416]: and through this thing [01697] ye shall prolong [0748] your days [03117] in the land [0127], whither ye go over [05674] Jordan [03383] to possess [03423] it. 5 32 48 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] that selfsame [06106] day [03117], saying [0559], 5 32 49 Get thee up [05927] into this mountain [02022] Abarim [05682], unto mount [02022] Nebo [05015], which is in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], that is over against [06440] Jericho [03405]; and behold [07200] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which I give [05414] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for a possession [0272]: 5 32 50 And die [04191] in the mount [02022] whither thou goest up [05927], and be gathered [0622] unto thy people [05971]; as Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251] died [04191] in mount [02022] Hor [02023], and was gathered [0622] unto his people [05971]: 5 32 51 Because ye trespassed [04603] against me among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] at the waters [04325] of Meribah-Kadesh [04808] [06946], in the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790]; because ye sanctified [06942] me not in the midst [08432] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 32 52 Yet thou shalt see [07200] the land [0776] before thee; but thou shalt not go [0935] thither unto the land [0776] which I give [05414] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 5 33 1 And this is the blessing [01293], wherewith Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430] blessed [01288] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] before [06440] his death [04194]. 5 33 2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] came [0935] from Sinai [05514], and rose up [02224] from Seir [08165] unto them; he shined forth [03313] from mount [02022] Paran [06290], and he came [0857] with ten thousands [07233] of saints [06944]: from his right hand [03225] went a fiery [0799] [0784] law [01881] for them. 5 33 3 Yea [0637], he loved [02245] the people [05971]; all his saints [06918] are in thy hand [03027]: and they sat down [08497] at thy feet [07272]; every one shall receive [05375] of thy words [01703]. 5 33 4 Moses [04872] commanded [06680] us a law [08451], even the inheritance [04181] of the congregation [06952] of Jacob [03290]. 5 33 5 And he was king [04428] in Jeshurun [03484], when the heads [07218] of the people [05971] and the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] were gathered [0622] together [03162]. 5 33 6 Let Reuben [07205] live [02421], and not die [04191]; and let not his men [04962] be few [04557]. 5 33 7 And this is the blessing of Judah [03063]: and he said [0559], Hear [08085], LORD [03068], the voice [06963] of Judah [03063], and bring [0935] him unto his people [05971]: let his hands [03027] be sufficient [07227] for him; and be thou an help [05828] to him from his enemies [06862]. 5 33 8 And of Levi [03878] he said [0559], Let thy Thummim [08550] and thy Urim [0224] be with thy holy [02623] one [0376], whom thou didst prove [05254] at Massah [04532], and with whom thou didst strive [07378] at the waters [04325] of Meribah [04809]; 5 33 9 Who said [0559] unto his father [01] and to his mother [0517], I have not seen [07200] him; neither did he acknowledge [05234] his brethren [0251], nor knew [03045] his own children [01121]: for they have observed [08104] thy word [0565], and kept [05341] thy covenant [01285]. 5 33 10 They shall teach [03384] Jacob [03290] thy judgments [04941], and Israel [03478] thy law [08451]: they shall put [07760] incense [06988] before [0639] thee, and whole burnt sacrifice [03632] upon thine altar [04196]. 5 33 11 Bless [01288], LORD [03068], his substance [02428], and accept [07521] the work [06467] of his hands [03027]: smite [04272] through the loins [04975] of them that rise [06965] against him, and of them that hate [08130] him, that they rise [06965] not [04480] again [06965]. 5 33 12 And of Benjamin [01144] he said [0559], The beloved [03039] of the LORD [03068] shall dwell [07931] in safety [0983] by him; and the LORD shall cover [02653] him all the day [03117] long, and he shall dwell [07931] between his shoulders [03802]. 5 33 13 And of Joseph [03130] he said [0559], Blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068] be his land [0776], for the precious things [04022] of heaven [08064], for the dew [02919], and for the deep [08415] that coucheth beneath [07257], 5 33 14 And for the precious [04022] fruits [08393] brought forth by the sun [08121], and for the precious things [04022] put forth [01645] by the moon [03391], 5 33 15 And for the chief things [07218] of the ancient [06924] mountains [02042], and for the precious things [04022] of the lasting [05769] hills [01389], 5 33 16 And for the precious things [04022] of the earth [0776] and fulness [04393] thereof, and for the good will [07522] of him that dwelt [07931] in the bush [05572]: let the blessing come [0935] upon the head [07218] of Joseph [03130], and upon the top of the head [06936] of him that was separated [05139] from his brethren [0251]. 5 33 17 His glory [01926] is like the firstling [01060] of his bullock [07794], and his horns [07161] are like the horns [07161] of unicorns [07214]: with them he shall push [05055] the people [05971] together [03162] to the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]: and they are the ten thousands [07233] of Ephraim [0669], and they are the thousands [0505] of Manasseh [04519]. 5 33 18 And of Zebulun [02074] he said [0559], Rejoice [08055], Zebulun [02074], in thy going out [03318]; and, Issachar [03485], in thy tents [0168]. 5 33 19 They shall call [07121] the people [05971] unto the mountain [02022]; there they shall offer [02076] sacrifices [02077] of righteousness [06664]: for they shall suck [03243] of the abundance [08228] of the seas [03220], and of treasures [08226] hid [02934] in the sand [02344]. 5 33 20 And of Gad [01410] he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be he that enlargeth [07337] Gad [01410]: he dwelleth [07931] as a lion [03833], and teareth [02963] the arm [02220] with [0637] the crown of the head [06936]. 5 33 21 And he provided [07200] the first part [07225] for himself, because there, in a portion [02513] of the lawgiver [02710], was he seated [05603]; and he came [0857] with the heads [07218] of the people [05971], he executed [06213] the justice [06666] of the LORD [03068], and his judgments [04941] with Israel [03478]. 5 33 22 And of Dan [01835] he said [0559], Dan [01835] is a lion's [0738] whelp [01482]: he shall leap [02187] from Bashan [01316]. 5 33 23 And of Naphtali [05321] he said [0559], O Naphtali [05321], satisfied [07649] with favour [07522], and full [04392] with the blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068]: possess [03423] thou the west [03220] and the south [01864]. 5 33 24 And of Asher [0836] he said [0559], Let Asher [0836] be blessed [01288] with children [01121]; let him be acceptable [07521] to his brethren [0251], and let him dip [02881] his foot [07272] in oil [08081]. 5 33 25 Thy shoes [04515] shall be iron [01270] and brass [05178]; and as thy days [03117], so shall thy strength [01679] be. 5 33 26 There is none like unto the God [0410] of Jeshurun [03484], who rideth [07392] upon the heaven [08064] in thy help [05828], and in his excellency [01346] on the sky [07834]. 5 33 27 The eternal [06924] God [0430] is thy refuge [04585], and underneath are the everlasting [05769] arms [02220]: and he shall thrust out [01644] the enemy [0341] from before [06440] thee; and shall say [0559], Destroy [08045] them. 5 33 28 Israel [03478] then shall dwell [07931] in safety [0983] alone [0910]: the fountain [05869] of Jacob [03290] shall be upon a land [0776] of corn [01715] and wine [08492]; also his heavens [08064] shall drop down [06201] dew [02919]. 5 33 29 Happy [0835] art thou, O Israel [03478]: who is like unto thee, O people [05971] saved [03467] by the LORD [03068], the shield [04043] of thy help [05828], and who is the sword [02719] of thy excellency [01346]! and thine enemies [0341] shall be found liars [03584] unto thee; and thou shalt tread [01869] upon their high places [01116]. 5 34 1 And Moses [04872] went up [05927] from the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] unto the mountain [02022] of Nebo [05015], to the top [07218] of Pisgah [06449], that is over against [06440] Jericho [03405]. And the LORD [03068] shewed [07200] him all the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], unto Dan [01835], 5 34 2 And all Naphtali [05321], and the land [0776] of Ephraim [0669], and Manasseh [04519], and all the land [0776] of Judah [03063], unto the utmost [0314] sea [03220], 5 34 3 And the south [05045], and the plain [03603] of the valley [01237] of Jericho [03405], the city [05892] of palm trees [08558] [05899], unto Zoar [06820]. 5 34 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, This is the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290], saying [0559], I will give [05414] it unto thy seed [02233]: I have caused thee to see [07200] it with thine eyes [05869], but thou shalt not go over [05674] thither. 5 34 5 So Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] died [04191] there in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 5 34 6 And he buried [06912] him in a valley [01516] in the land [0776] of Moab [04124], over against [04136] Bethpeor [01047]: but no man [0376] knoweth [03045] of his sepulchre [06900] unto this day [03117]. 5 34 7 And Moses [04872] was an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he died [04194]: his eye [05869] was not dim [03543], nor his natural force [03893] abated [05127]. 5 34 8 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] wept [01058] for Moses [04872] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124] thirty [07970] days [03117]: so the days [03117] of weeping [01065] and mourning [060] for Moses [04872] were ended [08552]. 5 34 9 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] was full [04392] of the spirit [07307] of wisdom [02451]; for Moses [04872] had laid [05564] his hands [03027] upon him: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] hearkened [08085] unto him, and did [06213] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 5 34 10 And there arose [06965] not a prophet [05030] since [05750] in Israel [03478] like unto Moses [04872], whom the LORD [03068] knew [03045] face [06440] to face [06440], 5 34 11 In all the signs [0226] and the wonders [04159], which the LORD [03068] sent [07971] him to do [06213] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to Pharaoh [06547], and to all his servants [05650], and to all his land [0776], 5 34 12 And in all that mighty [02389] hand [03027], and in all the great [01419] terror [04172] which Moses [04872] shewed [06213] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478]. 6 1 1 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] it came to pass, that the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], Moses [04872]' minister [08334], saying [0559], 6 1 2 Moses [04872] my servant [05650] is dead [04191]; now therefore arise [06965], go over [05674] this Jordan [03383], thou, and all this people [05971], unto the land [0776] which I do give [05414] to them, even to the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 1 3 Every place [04725] that the sole [03709] of your foot [07272] shall tread upon [01869], that have I given [05414] unto you, as I said [01696] unto Moses [04872]. 6 1 4 From the wilderness [04057] and this Lebanon [03844] even unto the great [01419] river [05104], the river [05104] Euphrates [06578], all the land [0776] of the Hittites [02850], and unto the great [01419] sea [03220] toward the going down [03996] of the sun [08121], shall be your coast [01366]. 6 1 5 There shall not any man [0376] be able to stand [03320] before [06440] thee all the days [03117] of thy life [02416]: as I was with Moses [04872], so I will be with thee: I will not fail [07503] thee, nor forsake [05800] thee. 6 1 6 Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]: for unto this people [05971] shalt thou divide for an inheritance [05157] the land [0776], which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01] to give [05414] them. 6 1 7 Only be thou strong [02388] and very [03966] courageous [0553], that thou mayest observe [08104] to do [06213] according to all the law [08451], which Moses [04872] my servant [05650] commanded [06680] thee: turn [05493] not from it to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040], that thou mayest prosper [07919] whithersoever thou goest [03212]. 6 1 8 This book [05612] of the law [08451] shall not depart [04185] out of thy mouth [06310]; but thou shalt meditate [01897] therein day [03119] and night [03915], that thou mayest observe [08104] to do [06213] according to all that is written [03789] therein: for then thou shalt make [06743] thy way [01870] prosperous [06743], and then thou shalt have good success [07919]. 6 1 9 Have not I commanded [06680] thee? Be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]; be not afraid [06206], neither be thou dismayed [02865]: for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] is with thee whithersoever thou goest [03212]. 6 1 10 Then Joshua [03091] commanded [06680] the officers [07860] of the people [05971], saying [0559], 6 1 11 Pass [05674] through [07130] the host [04264], and command [06680] the people [05971], saying [0559], Prepare [03559] you victuals [06720]; for within three [07969] days [03117] ye shall pass over [05674] this Jordan [03383], to go in [0935] to possess [03423] the land [0776], which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] giveth [05414] you to possess [03423] it. 6 1 12 And to the Reubenites [07206], and to the Gadites [01425], and to half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], spake [0559] Joshua [03091], saying [0559], 6 1 13 Remember [02142] the word [01697] which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] you, saying [0559], The LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given you rest [05117], and hath given [05414] you this land [0776]. 6 1 14 Your wives [0802], your little ones [02945], and your cattle [04735], shall remain [03427] in the land [0776] which Moses [04872] gave [05414] you on this side [05676] Jordan [03383]; but ye shall pass [05674] before [06440] your brethren [0251] armed [02571], all the mighty [01368] men of valour [02428], and help [05826] them; 6 1 15 Until the LORD [03068] have given [05117] your brethren [0251] rest [05117], as he hath given you, and they also have possessed [03423] the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] giveth [05414] them: then ye shall return [07725] unto the land [0776] of your possession [03425], and enjoy [03423] it, which Moses [04872] the LORD'S [03068] servant [05650] gave [05414] you on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] toward the sunrising [04217] [08121]. 6 1 16 And they answered [06030] Joshua [03091], saying [0559], All that thou commandest [06680] us we will do [06213], and whithersoever [0834] thou sendest [07971] us, we will go [03212]. 6 1 17 According as we hearkened [08085] unto Moses [04872] in all things, so will we hearken [08085] unto thee: only the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] be with thee, as he was with Moses [04872]. 6 1 18 Whosoever [0376] he be that doth rebel [04784] against thy commandment [06310], and will not hearken [08085] unto thy words [01697] in all that thou commandest [06680] him, he shall be put to death [04191]: only be strong [02388] and of a good courage [0553]. 6 2 1 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] sent [07971] out of Shittim [07851] two [08147] men [0582] to spy [07270] secretly [02791], saying [0559], Go [03212] view [07200] the land [0776], even Jericho [03405]. And they went [03212], and came [0935] into an harlot's [02181] house [0802] [01004], named [08034] Rahab [07343], and lodged [07901] there. 6 2 2 And it was told [0559] the king [04428] of Jericho [03405], saying [0559], Behold, there came [0935] men [0582] in hither to night [03915] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to search out [02658] the country [0776]. 6 2 3 And the king [04428] of Jericho [03405] sent [07971] unto Rahab [07343], saying [0559], Bring forth [03318] the men [0582] that are come [0935] to thee, which are entered [0935] into thine house [01004]: for they be come [0935] to search out [02658] all the country [0776]. 6 2 4 And the woman [0802] took [03947] the two [08147] men [0582], and hid [06845] them, and said [0559] thus, There came [0935] men [0582] unto me, but I wist [03045] not whence [0370] they were: 6 2 5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting [05462] of the gate [08179], when it was dark [02822], that the men [0582] went out [03318]: whither the men [0582] went [01980] I wot [03045] not: pursue [07291] after [0310] them quickly [04118]; for ye shall overtake [05381] them. 6 2 6 But she had brought them up [05927] to the roof [01406] of the house, and hid [02934] them with the stalks [06086] of flax [06593], which she had laid in order [06186] upon the roof [01406]. 6 2 7 And the men [0582] pursued [07291] after [0310] them the way [01870] to Jordan [03383] unto the fords [04569]: and as soon as they which pursued [07291] after [0310] them were gone out [03318], they shut [05462] the gate [08179]. 6 2 8 And before they were laid down [07901], she came up [05927] unto them upon the roof [01406]; 6 2 9 And she said [0559] unto the men [0582], I know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you the land [0776], and that your terror [0367] is fallen [05307] upon us, and that all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] faint [04127] because [06440] of you. 6 2 10 For we have heard [08085] how the LORD [03068] dried up [03001] the water [04325] of the Red [05488] sea [03220] for you [06440], when ye came out [03318] of Egypt [04714]; and what ye did [06213] unto the two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], that were on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383], Sihon [05511] and Og [05747], whom ye utterly destroyed [02763]. 6 2 11 And as soon as we had heard [08085] these things, our hearts [03824] did melt [04549], neither did there remain [06965] any more courage [07307] in any man [0376], because [06440] of you: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430], he is God [0430] in heaven [08064] above [04605], and in earth [0776] beneath. 6 2 12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear [07650] unto me by the LORD [03068], since [03588] I have shewed [06213] you kindness [02617], that ye will also shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto my father's [01] house [01004], and give [05414] me a true [0571] token [0226]: 6 2 13 And that ye will save alive [02421] my father [01], and my mother [0517], and my brethren [0251], and my sisters [0269], and all that they have, and deliver [05337] our lives [05315] from death [04194]. 6 2 14 And the men [0582] answered [0559] her, Our life [05315] for yours [04191], if ye utter [05046] not this our business [01697]. And it shall be, when the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] us the land [0776], that we will deal [06213] kindly [02617] and truly [0571] with thee. 6 2 15 Then she let them down [03381] by a cord [02256] through [01157] the window [02474]: for her house [01004] was upon the town [07023] wall [02346], and she dwelt [03427] upon the wall [02346]. 6 2 16 And she said [0559] unto them, Get [03212] you to the mountain [02022], lest the pursuers [07291] meet [06293] you; and hide [02247] yourselves there three [07969] days [03117], until the pursuers [07291] be returned [07725]: and afterward [0310] may ye go [03212] your way [01870]. 6 2 17 And the men [0582] said [0559] unto her, We will be blameless [05355] of this thine oath [07621] which thou hast made us swear [07650]. 6 2 18 Behold, when we come [0935] into the land [0776], thou shalt bind [07194] this line [08615] of scarlet [08144] thread [02339] in the window [02474] which thou didst let us down by [03381]: and thou shalt bring [0622] thy father [01], and thy mother [0517], and thy brethren [0251], and all thy father's [01] household [01004], home [01004] unto thee. 6 2 19 And it shall be, that whosoever [0834] shall go out [03318] of the doors [01817] of thy house [01004] into the street [02351], his blood [01818] shall be upon his head [07218], and we will be guiltless [05355]: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house [01004], his blood [01818] shall be on our head [07218], if any hand [03027] be upon him. 6 2 20 And if thou utter [05046] this our business [01697], then we will be quit [05355] of thine oath [07621] which thou hast made us to swear [07650]. 6 2 21 And she said [0559], According unto your words [01697], so be it. And she sent them away [07971], and they departed [03212]: and she bound [07194] the scarlet [08144] line [08615] in the window [02474]. 6 2 22 And they went [03212], and came [0935] unto the mountain [02022], and abode [03427] there three [07969] days [03117], until the pursuers [07291] were returned [07725]: and the pursuers [07291] sought [01245] them throughout all the way [01870], but found [04672] them not. 6 2 23 So the two [08147] men [0582] returned [07725], and descended [03381] from the mountain [02022], and passed over [05674], and came [0935] to Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and told [05608] him all things that befell [04672] them: 6 2 24 And they said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Truly [03588] the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] into our hands [03027] all the land [0776]; for even all the inhabitants [03427] of the country [0776] do faint [04127] because [06440] of us. 6 3 1 And Joshua [03091] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242]; and they removed [05265] from Shittim [07851], and came [0935] to Jordan [03383], he and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and lodged [03885] there before they passed over [05674]. 6 3 2 And it came to pass after [07097] three [07969] days [03117], that the officers [07860] went [05674] through [07130] the host [04264]; 6 3 3 And they commanded [06680] the people [05971], saying [0559], When ye see [07200] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] bearing [05375] it, then ye shall remove [05265] from your place [04725], and go [01980] after [0310] it. 6 3 4 Yet there shall be a space [07350] between you and it, about two thousand [0505] cubits [0520] by measure [04060]: come not near [07126] unto it, that ye may know [03045] the way [01870] by which ye must go [03212]: for ye have not passed [05674] this way [01870] heretofore [08543] [08032]. 6 3 5 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Sanctify [06942] yourselves: for to morrow [04279] the LORD [03068] will do [06213] wonders [06381] among [07130] you. 6 3 6 And Joshua [03091] spake [0559] unto the priests [03548], saying [0559], Take up [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285], and pass over [05674] before [06440] the people [05971]. And they took up [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285], and went [03212] before [06440] the people [05971]. 6 3 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], This day [03117] will I begin [02490] to magnify [01431] thee in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478], that they may know [03045] that, as I was with Moses [04872], so I will be with thee. 6 3 8 And thou shalt command [06680] the priests [03548] that bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285], saying [0559], When ye are come [0935] to the brink [07097] of the water [04325] of Jordan [03383], ye shall stand still [05975] in Jordan [03383]. 6 3 9 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Come hither [05066], and hear [08085] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 6 3 10 And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Hereby ye shall know [03045] that the living [02416] God [0410] is among [07130] you, and that he will without fail [03423] drive out [03423] from before [06440] you the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Hivites [02340], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Girgashites [01622], and the Amorites [0567], and the Jebusites [02983]. 6 3 11 Behold, the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [0113] of all the earth [0776] passeth over [05674] before [06440] you into Jordan [03383]. 6 3 12 Now therefore take [03947] you twelve [08147] [06240] men [0376] out of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], out of every [0259] tribe [07626] a man [0376]. 6 3 13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles [03709] of the feet [07272] of the priests [03548] that bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], the Lord [0113] of all the earth [0776], shall rest [05117] in the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383], that the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] shall be cut off [03772] from the waters [04325] that come down [03381] from above [04605]; and they shall stand [05975] upon an [0259] heap [05067]. 6 3 14 And it came to pass, when the people [05971] removed [05265] from their tents [0168], to pass over [05674] Jordan [03383], and the priests [03548] bearing [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] before [06440] the people [05971]; 6 3 15 And as they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] were come [0935] unto Jordan [03383], and the feet [07272] of the priests [03548] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] were dipped [02881] in the brim [07097] of the water [04325], (for Jordan [03383] overfloweth [04390] all his banks [01415] all the time [03117] of harvest [07105],) 6 3 16 That the waters [04325] which came down [03381] from above [04605] stood [05975] and rose up [06965] upon an [0259] heap [05067] very [03966] far [07368] from the city [05892] Adam [0121], that is beside [06654] Zaretan [06891]: and those that came down [03381] toward the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], even the salt [04417] sea [03220], failed [08552], and were cut off [03772]: and the people [05971] passed over [05674] right against Jericho [03405]. 6 3 17 And the priests [03548] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] stood [05975] firm [03559] on dry ground [02724] in the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], and all the Israelites [03478] passed over [05674] on dry ground [02724], until all the people [01471] were passed [05674] clean [08552] over [05674] Jordan [03383]. 6 4 1 And it came to pass, when all the people [01471] were clean [08552] passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], that the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Joshua [03091], saying [0559], 6 4 2 Take [03947] you twelve [08147] [06240] men [0582] out of the people [05971], out of every [0259] tribe [07626] a man [0376], 6 4 3 And command [06680] ye them, saying [0559], Take [05375] you hence out of the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], out of the place where the priests [03548]' feet [07272] stood [04673] firm [03559], twelve [08147] [06240] stones [068], and ye shall carry them over [05674] with you, and leave [03240] them in the lodging place [04411], where ye shall lodge [03885] this night [03915]. 6 4 4 Then Joshua [03091] called [07121] the twelve [08147] [06240] men [0376], whom he had prepared [03559] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], out of every [0259] tribe [07626] a man [0376]: 6 4 5 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto them, Pass over [05674] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430] into the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], and take ye up [07311] every [0259] man [0376] of you a stone [068] upon his shoulder [07926], according unto the number [04557] of the tribes [07626] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 6 4 6 That this may be a sign [0226] among [07130] you, that when your children [01121] ask [07592] their fathers in time to come [04279], saying [0559], What mean ye by these stones [068]? 6 4 7 Then ye shall answer [0559] them, That the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] were cut off [03772] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068]; when it passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] were cut off [03772]: and these stones [068] shall be for a memorial [02146] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for [05704] ever [05769]. 6 4 8 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] so as Joshua [03091] commanded [06680], and took up [05375] twelve [08147] [06240] stones [068] out of the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], as the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Joshua [03091], according to the number [04557] of the tribes [07626] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and carried them over [05674] with them unto the place where they lodged [04411], and laid them down [03240] there. 6 4 9 And Joshua [03091] set up [06965] twelve [08147] [06240] stones [068] in the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], in the place where the feet [07272] of the priests [03548] which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] stood [04673]: and they are there unto this day [03117]. 6 4 10 For the priests [03548] which bare [05375] the ark [0727] stood [05975] in the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], until every thing [01697] was finished [08552] that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Joshua [03091] to speak [01696] unto the people [05971], according to all that Moses [04872] commanded [06680] Joshua [03091]: and the people [05971] hasted [04116] and passed over [05674]. 6 4 11 And it came to pass, when all the people [05971] were clean [08552] passed over [05674], that the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] passed over [05674], and the priests [03548], in the presence [06440] of the people [05971]. 6 4 12 And the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and the children [01121] of Gad [01410], and half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], passed over [05674] armed [02571] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], as Moses [04872] spake [01696] unto them: 6 4 13 About forty [0705] thousand [0505] prepared [02502] for war [06635] passed over [05674] before [06440] the LORD [03068] unto battle [04421], to the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]. 6 4 14 On that day [03117] the LORD [03068] magnified [01431] Joshua [03091] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478]; and they feared [03372] him, as they feared [03372] Moses [04872], all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 6 4 15 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Joshua [03091], saying [0559], 6 4 16 Command [06680] the priests [03548] that bear [05375] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], that they come up [05927] out of Jordan [03383]. 6 4 17 Joshua [03091] therefore commanded [06680] the priests [03548], saying [0559], Come ye up [05927] out of Jordan [03383]. 6 4 18 And it came to pass, when the priests [03548] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] were come up [05927] out of the midst [08432] of Jordan [03383], and the soles [03709] of the priests [03548]' feet [07272] were lifted up [05423] unto the dry land [02724], that the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] returned [07725] unto their place [04725], and flowed [03212] over all his banks [01415], as [08543] they did before [08032]. 6 4 19 And the people [05971] came up [05927] out of Jordan [03383] on the tenth [06218] day of the first [07223] month [02320], and encamped [02583] in Gilgal [01537], in the east [04217] border [07097] of Jericho [03405]. 6 4 20 And those twelve [08147] [06240] stones [068], which they took out [03947] of Jordan [03383], did Joshua [03091] pitch [06965] in Gilgal [01537]. 6 4 21 And he spake [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], When your children [01121] shall ask [07592] their fathers [01] in time to come [04279], saying [0559], What mean these stones [068]? 6 4 22 Then ye shall let your children [01121] know [03045], saying [0559], Israel [03478] came over [05674] this Jordan [03383] on dry land [03004]. 6 4 23 For the LORD [03068] your God [0430] dried up [03001] the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] from before [06440] you, until ye were passed over [05674], as the LORD [03068] your God [0430] did [06213] to the Red [05488] sea [03220], which he dried up [03001] from before [06440] us, until we were gone over [05674]: 6 4 24 That all the people [05971] of the earth [0776] might know [03045] the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068], that it is mighty [02389]: that ye might fear [03372] the LORD [03068] your God [0430] for ever [03117]. 6 5 1 And it came to pass, when all the kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which were on the side [05676] of Jordan [03383] westward [03220], and all the kings [04428] of the Canaanites [03669], which were by the sea [03220], heard [08085] that the LORD [03068] had dried up [03001] the waters [04325] of Jordan [03383] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], until we were passed over [05674], that their heart [03824] melted [04549], neither was there spirit [07307] in them any more, because [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 5 2 At that time [06256] the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Make [06213] thee sharp [06697] knives [02719], and circumcise [04135] again [07725] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] the second time [08145]. 6 5 3 And Joshua [03091] made [06213] him sharp [06697] knives [02719], and circumcised [04135] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] at the hill [01389] of the foreskins [06190]. 6 5 4 And this is the cause [01697] why Joshua [03091] did circumcise [04135]: All the people [05971] that came out [03318] of Egypt [04714], that were males [02145], even all the men [0582] of war [04421], died [04191] in the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870], after they came out [03318] of Egypt [04714]. 6 5 5 Now [03588] all the people [05971] that came out [03318] were circumcised [04135]: but all the people [05971] that were born [03209] in the wilderness [04057] by the way [01870] as they came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], them they had not circumcised [04135]. 6 5 6 For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] walked [01980] forty [0705] years [08141] in the wilderness [04057], till all the people [01471] that were men [0582] of war [04421], which came out [03318] of Egypt [04714], were consumed [08552], because they obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]: unto whom the LORD [03068] sware [07650] that he would not shew [07200] them the land [0776], which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto their fathers [01] that he would give [05414] us, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]. 6 5 7 And their children [01121], whom he raised up [06965] in their stead, them Joshua [03091] circumcised [04135]: for they were uncircumcised [06189], because they had not circumcised [04135] them by the way [01870]. 6 5 8 And it came to pass, when they had done [08552] circumcising [04135] all the people [01471], that they abode [03427] in their places in the camp [04264], till they were whole [02421]. 6 5 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], This day [03117] have I rolled away [01556] the reproach [02781] of Egypt [04714] from off you. Wherefore the name [08034] of the place [04725] is called [07121] Gilgal [01537] unto this day [03117]. 6 5 10 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] encamped [02583] in Gilgal [01537], and kept [06213] the passover [06453] on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320] at even [06153] in the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]. 6 5 11 And they did eat [0398] of the old corn [05669] of the land [0776] on the morrow [04283] after the passover [06453], unleavened cakes [04682], and parched [07033] corn in the selfsame [06106] day [03117]. 6 5 12 And the manna [04478] ceased [07673] on the morrow [04283] after they had eaten [0398] of the old corn [05669] of the land [0776]; neither had the children [01121] of Israel [03478] manna [04478] any more; but they did eat [0398] of the fruit [08393] of the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] that year [08141]. 6 5 13 And it came to pass, when Joshua [03091] was by Jericho [03405], that he lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869] and looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] a man [0376] over against him with his sword [02719] drawn [08025] in his hand [03027]: and Joshua [03091] went [03212] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries [06862]? 6 5 14 And he said [0559], Nay; but as captain [08269] of the host [06635] of the LORD [03068] am I now come [0935]. And Joshua [03091] fell [05307] on his face [06440] to the earth [0776], and did worship [07812], and said [0559] unto him, What saith [01696] my lord [0113] unto his servant [05650]? 6 5 15 And the captain [08269] of the LORD'S [03068] host [06635] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Loose [05394] thy shoe [05275] from off thy foot [07272]; for the place [04725] whereon thou standest [05975] is holy [06944]. And Joshua [03091] did [06213] so. 6 6 1 Now Jericho [03405] was straitly [05462] shut up [05462] because [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: none went out [03318], and none came in [0935]. 6 6 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], See [07200], I have given [05414] into thine hand [03027] Jericho [03405], and the king [04428] thereof, and the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428]. 6 6 3 And ye shall compass [05437] the city [05892], all ye men [0582] of war [04421], and go round about [05362] the city [05892] once [06471] [0259]. Thus shalt thou do [06213] six [08337] days [03117]. 6 6 4 And seven [07651] priests [03548] shall bear [05375] before [06440] the ark [0727] seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104]: and the seventh [07637] day [03117] ye shall compass [05437] the city [05892] seven [07651] times [06471], and the priests [03548] shall blow [08628] with the trumpets [07782]. 6 6 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [04900] blast with the ram's [03104] horn [07161], and when ye hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], all the people [05971] shall shout [07321] with a great [01419] shout [08643]; and the wall [02346] of the city [05892] shall fall down [05307] flat [08478], and the people [05971] shall ascend up [05927] every man [0376] straight before him. 6 6 6 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] called [07121] the priests [03548], and said [0559] unto them, Take up [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285], and let seven [07651] priests [03548] bear [05375] seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. 6 6 7 And he said [0559] unto the people [05971], Pass on [05674], and compass [05437] the city [05892], and let him that is armed [02502] pass on [05674] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. 6 6 8 And it came to pass, when Joshua [03091] had spoken [0559] unto the people [05971], that the seven [07651] priests [03548] bearing [05375] the seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104] passed on [05674] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782]: and the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] followed [01980] them [0310]. 6 6 9 And the armed [02502] men went [01980] before [06440] the priests [03548] that blew [08628] [08628] with the trumpets [07782], and the rereward [0622] came [01980] after [0310] the ark [0727], the priests going on [01980], and blowing [08628] with the trumpets [07782]. 6 6 10 And Joshua [03091] had commanded [06680] the people [05971], saying [0559], Ye shall not shout [07321], nor make any noise [08085] with your voice [06963], neither shall any word [01697] proceed [03318] out of your mouth [06310], until the day [03117] I bid [0559] you shout [07321]; then shall ye shout [07321]. 6 6 11 So the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] compassed [05437] the city [05892], going about [05362] it once [06471] [0259]: and they came [0935] into the camp [04264], and lodged [03885] in the camp [04264]. 6 6 12 And Joshua [03091] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242], and the priests [03548] took up [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. 6 6 13 And seven [07651] priests [03548] bearing [05375] seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] went on [01980] continually [01980], and blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782]: and the armed men [02502] went [01980] before [06440] them; but the rereward [0622] came [01980] after [0310] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], the priests going on [01980], and blowing [08628] with the trumpets [07782]. 6 6 14 And the second [08145] day [03117] they compassed [05437] the city [05892] once [06471] [0259], and returned [07725] into the camp [04264]: so they did [06213] six [08337] days [03117]. 6 6 15 And it came to pass on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that they rose early [07925] about the dawning [05927] of the day [07837], and compassed [05437] the city [05892] after the same manner [04941] seven [07651] times [06471]: only on that day [03117] they compassed [05437] the city [05892] seven [07651] times [06471]. 6 6 16 And it came to pass at the seventh [07637] time [06471], when the priests [03548] blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782], Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Shout [07321]; for the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you the city [05892]. 6 6 17 And the city [05892] shall be accursed [02764], even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD [03068]: only Rahab [07343] the harlot [02181] shall live [02421], she and all that are with her in the house [01004], because she hid [02244] the messengers [04397] that we sent [07971]. 6 6 18 And ye, in any wise [07535] keep [08104] yourselves from the accursed thing [02764], lest ye make yourselves accursed [02763], when ye take [03947] of the accursed thing [02764], and make [07760] the camp [04264] of Israel [03478] a curse [02764], and trouble [05916] it. 6 6 19 But all the silver [03701], and gold [02091], and vessels [03627] of brass [05178] and iron [01270], are consecrated [06944] unto the LORD [03068]: they shall come [0935] into the treasury [0214] of the LORD [03068]. 6 6 20 So the people [05971] shouted [07321] when the priests blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782]: and it came to pass, when the people [05971] heard [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], and the people [05971] shouted [07321] with a great [01419] shout [08643], that the wall [02346] fell down flat [05307], so that the people [05971] went up [05927] into the city [05892], every man [0376] straight before him, and they took [03920] the city [05892]. 6 6 21 And they utterly destroyed [02763] all that was in the city [05892], both man [0376] and woman [0802], young [05288] and old [02205], and ox [07794], and sheep [07716], and ass [02543], with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 6 6 22 But Joshua [03091] had said [0559] unto the two [08147] men [0582] that had spied out [07270] the country [0776], Go [0935] into the harlot's [02181] house [01004], and bring out [03318] thence the woman [0802], and all that she hath, as ye sware [07650] unto her. 6 6 23 And the young men [05288] that were spies [07270] went in [0935], and brought out [03318] Rahab [07343], and her father [01], and her mother [0517], and her brethren [0251], and all that she had; and they brought out [03318] all her kindred [04940], and left [03240] them without [02351] the camp [04264] of Israel [03478]. 6 6 24 And they burnt [08313] the city [05892] with fire [0784], and all that was therein: only the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the vessels [03627] of brass [05178] and of iron [01270], they put [05414] into the treasury [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 6 6 25 And Joshua [03091] saved [02421] Rahab [07343] the harlot [02181] alive [02421], and her father's [01] household [01004], and all that she had; and she dwelleth [03427] in [07130] Israel [03478] even unto this day [03117]; because she hid [02244] the messengers [04397], which Joshua [03091] sent [07971] to spy out [07270] Jericho [03405]. 6 6 26 And Joshua [03091] adjured [07650] them at that time [06256], saying [0559], Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] before [06440] the LORD [03068], that riseth up [06965] and buildeth [01129] this city [05892] Jericho [03405]: he shall lay the foundation [03245] thereof in his firstborn [01060], and in his youngest [06810] son shall he set up [05324] the gates [01817] of it. 6 6 27 So the LORD [03068] was with Joshua [03091]; and his fame [08089] was noised throughout all the country [0776]. 6 7 1 But the children [01121] of Israel [03478] committed [04603] a trespass [04604] in the accursed thing [02764]: for Achan [05912], the son [01121] of Carmi [03756], the son [01121] of Zabdi [02067], the son [01121] of Zerah [02226], of the tribe [04294] of Judah [03063], took [03947] of the accursed thing [02764]: and the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 7 2 And Joshua [03091] sent [07971] men [0582] from Jericho [03405] to Ai [05857], which is beside [05973] Bethaven [01007], on the east side [06924] of Bethel [01008], and spake [0559] unto them, saying [0559], Go up [05927] and view [07270] the country [0776]. And the men [0582] went up [05927] and viewed [07270] Ai [05857]. 6 7 3 And they returned [07725] to Joshua [03091], and said [0559] unto him, Let not all the people [05971] go up [05927]; but let about two or three [07969] thousand [0505] men [0376] go up [05927] and smite [05221] Ai [05857]; and make not all the people [05971] to labour [03021] thither; for they are but few [04592]. 6 7 4 So there went up [05927] thither of the people [05971] about three [07969] thousand [0505] men [0376]: and they fled [05127] before [06440] the men [0582] of Ai [05857]. 6 7 5 And the men [0582] of Ai [05857] smote [05221] of them about thirty [07970] and six [08337] men [0376]: for they chased [07291] them from before [06440] the gate [08179] even unto Shebarim [07671], and smote [05221] them in the going down [04174]: wherefore the hearts [03824] of the people [05971] melted [04549], and became as water [04325]. 6 7 6 And Joshua [03091] rent [07167] his clothes [08071], and fell [05307] to the earth [0776] upon his face [06440] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] until the eventide [06153], he and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and put [05927] dust [06083] upon their heads [07218]. 6 7 7 And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Alas, O [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069], wherefore hast thou at all [05674] brought [05674] this people [05971] over [05674] Jordan [03383], to deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Amorites [0567], to destroy [06] us? would to God [03863] we had been content [02974], and dwelt [03427] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]! 6 7 8 O [0994] Lord [0136], what shall I say [0559], when [0310] Israel [03478] turneth [02015] their backs [06203] before [06440] their enemies [0341] ! 6 7 9 For the Canaanites [03669] and all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] shall hear [08085] of it, and shall environ us round [05437], and cut off [03772] our name [08034] from the earth [0776]: and what wilt thou do [06213] unto thy great [01419] name [08034]? 6 7 10 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Get thee up [06965]; wherefore liest [05307] thou thus upon thy face [06440]? 6 7 11 Israel [03478] hath sinned [02398], and they have also transgressed [05674] my covenant [01285] which I commanded [06680] them: for they have even taken [03947] of the accursed thing [02764], and have also stolen [01589], and dissembled [03584] also, and they have put [07760] it even among their own stuff [03627]. 6 7 12 Therefore the children [01121] of Israel [03478] could [03201] not stand [06965] before [06440] their enemies [0341], but turned [06437] their backs [06203] before [06440] their enemies [0341], because they were accursed [02764]: neither will I be with you any more [03254], except [03808] ye destroy [08045] the accursed [02764] from among [07130] you. 6 7 13 Up [06965], sanctify [06942] the people [05971], and say [0559], Sanctify [06942] yourselves against to morrow [04279]: for thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], There is an accursed thing [02764] in the midst [07130] of thee, O Israel [03478]: thou canst [03201] not stand [06965] before [06440] thine enemies [0341], until ye take away [05493] the accursed thing [02764] from among [07130] you. 6 7 14 In the morning [01242] therefore ye shall be brought [07126] according to your tribes [07626]: and it shall be, that the tribe [07626] which the LORD [03068] taketh [03920] shall come [07126] according to the families [04940] thereof; and the family [04940] which the LORD [03068] shall take [03920] shall come [07126] by households [01004]; and the household [01004] which the LORD [03068] shall take [03920] shall come [07126] man [01397] by man [01397]. 6 7 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken [03920] with the accursed thing [02764] shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784], he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed [05674] the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and because he hath wrought [06213] folly [05039] in Israel [03478]. 6 7 16 So Joshua [03091] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and brought [07126] Israel [03478] by their tribes [07626]; and the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063] was taken [03920]: 6 7 17 And he brought [07126] the family [04940] of Judah [03063]; and he took [03920] the family [04940] of the Zarhites [02227]: and he brought [07126] the family [04940] of the Zarhites [02227] man [01397] by man [01397]; and Zabdi [02067] was taken [03920]: 6 7 18 And he brought [07126] his household [01004] man [01397] by man [01397]; and Achan [05912], the son [01121] of Carmi [03756], the son [01121] of Zabdi [02067], the son [01121] of Zerah [02226], of the tribe [04294] of Judah [03063], was taken [03920]. 6 7 19 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto Achan [05912], My son [01121], give [07760], I pray thee, glory [03519] to the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], and make [05414] confession [08426] unto him; and tell [05046] me now what thou hast done [06213]; hide [03582] it not from me. 6 7 20 And Achan [05912] answered [06030] Joshua [03091], and said [0559], Indeed [0546] I have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], and thus and thus have I done [06213]: 6 7 21 When I saw [07200] among the spoils [07998] a [0259] goodly [02896] Babylonish [08152] garment [0155], and two hundred [03967] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], and a [0259] wedge [03956] of gold [02091] of fifty [02572] shekels [08255] weight [04948], then I coveted [02530] them, and took [03947] them; and, behold, they are hid [02934] in the earth [0776] in the midst [08432] of my tent [0168], and the silver [03701] under it. 6 7 22 So Joshua [03091] sent [07971] messengers [04397], and they ran [07323] unto the tent [0168]; and, behold, it was hid [02934] in his tent [0168], and the silver [03701] under it. 6 7 23 And they took [03947] them out of the midst [08432] of the tent [0168], and brought [0935] them unto Joshua [03091], and unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and laid them out [03332] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 6 7 24 And Joshua [03091], and all Israel [03478] with him, took [03947] Achan [05912] the son [01121] of Zerah [02226], and the silver [03701], and the garment [0155], and the wedge [03956] of gold [02091], and his sons [01121], and his daughters [01323], and his oxen [07794], and his asses [02543], and his sheep [06629], and his tent [0168], and all that he had: and they brought [05927] them unto the valley [06010] of Achor [05911]. 6 7 25 And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Why [04100] hast thou troubled [05916] us? the LORD [03068] shall trouble [05916] thee this day [03117]. And all Israel [03478] stoned [07275] him with stones [068], and burned [08313] them with fire [0784], after they had stoned [05619] them with stones [068]. 6 7 26 And they raised [06965] over him a great [01419] heap [01530] of stones [068] unto this day [03117]. So the LORD [03068] turned [07725] from the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639]. Wherefore the name [08034] of that place [04725] was called [07121], The valley [06010] of Achor [05911], unto this day [03117]. 6 8 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Fear [03372] not, neither be thou dismayed [02865]: take [03947] all the people [05971] of war [04421] with thee, and arise [06965], go up [05927] to Ai [05857]: see [07200], I have given [05414] into thy hand [03027] the king [04428] of Ai [05857], and his people [05971], and his city [05892], and his land [0776]: 6 8 2 And thou shalt do [06213] to Ai [05857] and her king [04428] as thou didst [06213] unto Jericho [03405] and her king [04428]: only the spoil [07998] thereof, and the cattle [0929] thereof, shall ye take for a prey [0962] unto yourselves: lay [07760] thee an ambush [0693] for the city [05892] behind [0310] it. 6 8 3 So Joshua [03091] arose [06965], and all the people [05971] of war [04421], to go up [05927] against Ai [05857]: and Joshua [03091] chose out [0977] thirty [07970] thousand [0505] mighty [01368] men [0376] of valour [02428], and sent them away [07971] by night [03915]. 6 8 4 And he commanded [06680] them, saying [0559], Behold [07200], ye shall lie in wait [0693] against the city [05892], even behind [0310] the city [05892]: go [07368] not very [03966] far [07368] from the city [05892], but be ye all ready [03559]: 6 8 5 And I, and all the people [05971] that are with me, will approach [07126] unto the city [05892]: and it shall come to pass, when they come out [03318] against [07125] us, as at the first [07223], that we will flee [05127] before [06440] them, 6 8 6 (For they will come out [03318] after [0310] us) till we have drawn [05423] them from the city [05892]; for they will say [0559], They flee [05127] before [06440] us, as at the first [07223]: therefore we will flee [05127] before [06440] them. 6 8 7 Then ye shall rise up [06965] from the ambush [0693], and seize [03423] upon the city [05892]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] will deliver [05414] it into your hand [03027]. 6 8 8 And it shall be, when ye have taken [08610] the city [05892], that ye shall set [03341] the city [05892] on fire [0784]: according to the commandment [01697] of the LORD [03068] shall ye do [06213]. See [07200], I have commanded [06680] you. 6 8 9 Joshua [03091] therefore sent them forth [07971]: and they went [03212] to lie in ambush [03993], and abode [03427] between Bethel [01008] and Ai [05857], on the west side [03220] of Ai [05857]: but Joshua [03091] lodged [03885] that night [03915] among [08432] the people [05971]. 6 8 10 And Joshua [03091] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and numbered [06485] the people [05971], and went up [05927], he and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], before [06440] the people [05971] to Ai [05857]. 6 8 11 And all the people [05971], even the people of war [04421] that were with him, went up [05927], and drew nigh [05066], and came [0935] before the city [05892], and pitched [02583] on the north side [06828] of Ai [05857]: now there was a valley [01516] between them and Ai [05857]. 6 8 12 And he took [03947] about five [02568] thousand [0505] men [0376], and set [07760] them to lie in ambush [0693] between Bethel [01008] and Ai [05857], on the west side [03220] of the city [05857] [05892]. 6 8 13 And when they had set [07760] the people [05971], even all the host [04264] that was on the north [06828] of the city [05892], and their liers in wait [06119] on the west [03220] of the city [05892], Joshua [03091] went [03212] that night [03915] into the midst [08432] of the valley [06010]. 6 8 14 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] of Ai [05857] saw [07200] it, that they hasted [04116] and rose up early [07925], and the men [0582] of the city [05892] went out [03318] against [07125] Israel [03478] to battle [04421], he and all his people [05971], at a time appointed [04150], before [06440] the plain [06160]; but he wist [03045] not that there were liers in ambush [0693] against him behind [0310] the city [05892]. 6 8 15 And Joshua [03091] and all Israel [03478] made as if they were beaten [05060] before [06440] them, and fled [05127] by the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057]. 6 8 16 And all the people [05971] that were in Ai [05857] [05892] were called [02199] together to pursue [07291] after [0310] them: and they pursued [07291] after [0310] Joshua [03091], and were drawn away [05423] from the city [05892]. 6 8 17 And there was not a man [0376] left [07604] in Ai [05857] or Bethel [01008], that went not out [03318] after [0310] Israel [03478]: and they left [05800] the city [05892] open [06605], and pursued [07291] after Israel [03478]. 6 8 18 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Stretch out [05186] the spear [03591] that is in thy hand [03027] toward Ai [05857]; for I will give [05414] it into thine hand [03027]. And Joshua [03091] stretched out [05186] the spear [03591] that he had in his hand [03027] toward the city [05892]. 6 8 19 And the ambush [0693] arose [06965] quickly [04120] out of their place [04725], and they ran [07323] as soon as he had stretched out [05186] his hand [03027]: and they entered [0935] into the city [05892], and took [03920] it, and hasted [04116] and set [03341] the city [05892] on fire [0784]. 6 8 20 And when the men [0582] of Ai [05857] looked [06437] behind [0310] them, they saw [07200], and, behold, the smoke [06227] of the city [05892] ascended up [05927] to heaven [08064], and they had no power [03027] to flee [05127] this way or that way [02008]: and the people [05971] that fled [05127] to the wilderness [04057] turned back [02015] upon the pursuers [07291]. 6 8 21 And when Joshua [03091] and all Israel [03478] saw [07200] that the ambush [0693] had taken [03920] the city [05892], and that the smoke [06227] of the city [05892] ascended [05927], then they turned again [07725], and slew [05221] the men [0582] of Ai [05857]. 6 8 22 And the other [0428] issued out [03318] of the city [05892] against [07125] them; so they were in the midst [08432] of Israel [03478], some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote [05221] them, so that [05704] they let [07604] none of them remain [08300] or escape [06412]. 6 8 23 And the king [04428] of Ai [05857] they took [08610] alive [02416], and brought [07126] him to Joshua [03091]. 6 8 24 And it came to pass, when Israel [03478] had made an end [03615] of slaying [02026] all the inhabitants [03427] of Ai [05857] in the field [07704], in the wilderness [04057] wherein they chased [07291] them, and when they were all fallen [05307] on the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], until they were consumed [08552], that all the Israelites [03478] returned [07725] unto Ai [05857], and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 6 8 25 And so it was, that all that fell [05307] that day [03117], both of men [0376] and women [0802], were twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505], even all the men [0582] of Ai [05857]. 6 8 26 For Joshua [03091] drew [07725] not his hand [03027] back [07725], wherewith he stretched out [05186] the spear [03591], until he had utterly destroyed [02763] all the inhabitants [03427] of Ai [05857]. 6 8 27 Only the cattle [0929] and the spoil [07998] of that city [05892] Israel [03478] took for a prey [0962] unto themselves, according unto the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which he commanded [06680] Joshua [03091]. 6 8 28 And Joshua [03091] burnt [08313] Ai [05857], and made [07760] it an heap [08510] for ever [05769], even a desolation [08077] unto this day [03117]. 6 8 29 And the king [04428] of Ai [05857] he hanged [08518] on a tree [06086] until eventide [06256] [06153]: and as soon as the sun [08121] was down [0935], Joshua [03091] commanded [06680] that they should take [03381] his carcase [05038] down [03381] from the tree [06086], and cast [07993] it at the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892], and raise [06965] thereon a great [01419] heap [01530] of stones [068], that remaineth unto this day [03117]. 6 8 30 Then Joshua [03091] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], 6 8 31 As Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], as it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], an altar [04196] of whole [08003] stones [068], over which no man hath lift up [05130] any iron [01270]: and they offered [05927] thereon burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068], and sacrificed [02076] peace offerings [08002]. 6 8 32 And he wrote [03789] there upon the stones [068] a copy [04932] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which he wrote [03789] in the presence [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 8 33 And all Israel [03478], and their elders [02205], and officers [07860], and their judges [08199], stood [05975] on this side the ark [0727] and on that side before the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], as well the stranger [01616], as he that was born [0249] among them; half [02677] of them over [0413] against [04136] mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and half [02677] of them over against [04136] mount [02022] Ebal [05858]; as Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] before [07223], that they should bless [01288] the people [05971] of Israel [03478]. 6 8 34 And afterward [0310] he read [07121] all the words [01697] of the law [08451], the blessings [01293] and cursings [07045], according to all that is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451]. 6 8 35 There was not a word [01697] of all that Moses [04872] commanded [06680], which Joshua [03091] read [07121] not before all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], with the women [0802], and the little ones [02945], and the strangers [01616] that were conversant [01980] among [07130] them. 6 9 1 And it came to pass, when all the kings [04428] which were on this side [05676] Jordan [03383], in the hills [02022], and in the valleys [08219], and in all the coasts [02348] of the great [01419] sea [03220] over against [04136] Lebanon [03844], the Hittite [02850], and the Amorite [0567], the Canaanite [03669], the Perizzite [06522], the Hivite [02340], and the Jebusite [02983], heard [08085] thereof; 6 9 2 That they gathered [06908] themselves together [03162], to fight [03898] with Joshua [03091] and with Israel [03478], with one [0259] accord [06310]. 6 9 3 And when the inhabitants [03427] of Gibeon [01391] heard [08085] what Joshua [03091] had done [06213] unto Jericho [03405] and to Ai [05857], 6 9 4 They did work [06213] wilily [06195], and went [03212] and made as if they had been ambassadors [06737], and took [03947] old [01087] sacks [08242] upon their asses [02543], and wine [03196] bottles [04997], old [01087], and rent [01234], and bound up [06887]; 6 9 5 And old [01087] shoes [05275] and clouted [02921] upon their feet [07272], and old [01087] garments [08008] upon them; and all the bread [03899] of their provision [06718] was dry [03001] and mouldy [05350]. 6 9 6 And they went [03212] to Joshua [03091] unto the camp [04264] at Gilgal [01537], and said [0559] unto him, and to the men [0376] of Israel [03478], We be come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776]: now therefore make [03772] ye a league [01285] with us. 6 9 7 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto the Hivites [02340], Peradventure [0194] ye dwell [03427] among [07130] us; and how shall we make [03772] a league [01285] with you? 6 9 8 And they said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], We are thy servants [05650]. And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto them, Who are ye? and from whence [0370] come [0935] ye? 6 9 9 And they said [0559] unto him, From a very [03966] far [07350] country [0776] thy servants [05650] are come [0935] because of the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: for we have heard [08085] the fame [08089] of him, and all that he did [06213] in Egypt [04714], 6 9 10 And all that he did [06213] to the two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], that were beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], to Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], and to Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which was at Ashtaroth [06252]. 6 9 11 Wherefore our elders [02205] and all the inhabitants [03427] of our country [0776] spake [0559] to us, saying [0559], Take [03947] victuals [06720] with you [03027] for the journey [01870], and go [03212] to meet [07125] them, and say [0559] unto them, We are your servants [05650]: therefore now make [03772] ye a league [01285] with us. 6 9 12 This our bread [03899] we took hot [02525] for our provision [06679] out of our houses [01004] on the day [03117] we came forth [03318] to go [03212] unto you; but now, behold, it is dry [03001], and it is mouldy [05350]: 6 9 13 And these bottles [04997] of wine [03196], which we filled [04390], were new [02319]; and, behold, they be rent [01234]: and these our garments [08008] and our shoes [05275] are become old [01086] by reason of the very [03966] long [07230] journey [01870]. 6 9 14 And the men [0582] took [03947] of their victuals [06718], and asked [07592] not counsel at the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 6 9 15 And Joshua [03091] made [06213] peace [07965] with them, and made [03772] a league [01285] with them, to let them live [02421]: and the princes [05387] of the congregation [05712] sware [07650] unto them. 6 9 16 And it came to pass at the end [07097] of three [07969] days [03117] after [0310] they had made [03772] a league [01285] with them, that they heard [08085] that they were their neighbours [07138], and that they dwelt [03427] among [07130] them. 6 9 17 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] journeyed [05265], and came [0935] unto their cities [05892] on the third [07992] day [03117]. Now their cities [05892] were Gibeon [01391], and Chephirah [03716], and Beeroth [0881], and Kirjathjearim [07157]. 6 9 18 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] smote [05221] them not, because the princes [05387] of the congregation [05712] had sworn [07650] unto them by the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. And all the congregation [05712] murmured [03885] against the princes [05387]. 6 9 19 But all the princes [05387] said [0559] unto all the congregation [05712], We have sworn [07650] unto them by the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]: now therefore we may [03201] not touch [05060] them. 6 9 20 This we will do [06213] to them; we will even let them live [02421], lest wrath [07110] be upon us, because of the oath [07621] which we sware [07650] unto them. 6 9 21 And the princes [05387] said [0559] unto them, Let them live [02421]; but let them be hewers [02404] of wood [06086] and drawers [07579] of water [04325] unto all the congregation [05712]; as the princes [05387] had promised [01696] them. 6 9 22 And Joshua [03091] called [07121] for them, and he spake [01696] unto them, saying [0559], Wherefore have ye beguiled [07411] us, saying [0559], We are very [03966] far [07350] from you; when ye dwell [03427] among [07130] us? 6 9 23 Now therefore ye are cursed [0779], and there shall none of you be freed [03772] from being bondmen [05650], and hewers [02404] of wood [06086] and drawers [07579] of water [04325] for the house [01004] of my God [0430]. 6 9 24 And they answered [06030] Joshua [03091], and said [0559], Because it was certainly [05046] told [05046] thy servants [05650], how that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] his servant [05650] Moses [04872] to give [05414] you all the land [0776], and to destroy [08045] all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] from before [06440] you, therefore we were sore [03966] afraid [03372] of our lives [05315] because [06440] of you, and have done [06213] this thing [01697]. 6 9 25 And now, behold, we [02009] are in thine hand [03027]: as it seemeth [05869] good [02896] and right [03477] unto thee to do [06213] unto us, do [06213]. 6 9 26 And so did [06213] he unto them, and delivered [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that they slew [02026] them not. 6 9 27 And Joshua [03091] made [05414] them that day [03117] hewers [02404] of wood [06086] and drawers [07579] of water [04325] for the congregation [05712], and for the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], even unto this day [03117], in the place [04725] which he should choose [0977]. 6 10 1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek [0139] king [04428] of Jerusalem [03389] had heard [08085] how [03588] Joshua [03091] had taken [03920] Ai [05857], and had utterly destroyed [02763] it; as he had done [06213] to Jericho [03405] and her king [04428], so he had done [06213] to Ai [05857] and her king [04428]; and how the inhabitants [03427] of Gibeon [01391] had made peace [07999] with Israel [03478], and were among [07130] them; 6 10 2 That they feared [03372] greatly [03966], because Gibeon [01391] was a great [01419] city [05892], as one [0259] of the royal [04467] cities [05892], and because it was greater [01419] than Ai [05857], and all the men [0582] thereof were mighty [01368]. 6 10 3 Wherefore Adonizedek [0139] king [04428] of Jerusalem [03389] sent [07971] unto Hoham [01944] king [04428] of Hebron [02275], and unto Piram [06502] king [04428] of Jarmuth [03412], and unto Japhia [03309] king [04428] of Lachish [03923], and unto Debir [01688] king [04428] of Eglon [05700], saying [0559], 6 10 4 Come up [05927] unto me, and help [05826] me, that we may smite [05221] Gibeon [01391]: for it hath made peace [07999] with Joshua [03091] and with the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 10 5 Therefore the five [02568] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567], the king [04428] of Jerusalem [03389], the king [04428] of Hebron [02275], the king [04428] of Jarmuth [03412], the king [04428] of Lachish [03923], the king [04428] of Eglon [05700], gathered themselves together [0622], and went up [05927], they and all their hosts [04264], and encamped [02583] before Gibeon [01391], and made war [03898] against it. 6 10 6 And the men [0582] of Gibeon [01391] sent [07971] unto Joshua [03091] to the camp [04264] to Gilgal [01537], saying [0559], Slack [07503] not thy hand [03027] from thy servants [05650]; come up [05927] to us quickly [04120], and save [03467] us, and help [05826] us: for all the kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567] that dwell [03427] in the mountains [02022] are gathered together [06908] against us. 6 10 7 So Joshua [03091] ascended [05927] from Gilgal [01537], he, and all the people [05971] of war [04421] with him, and all the mighty [01368] men of valour [02428]. 6 10 8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Fear [03372] them not: for I have delivered [05414] them into thine hand [03027]; there shall not a man [0376] of them stand [05975] before [06440] thee. 6 10 9 Joshua [03091] therefore came [0935] unto them suddenly [06597], and went up [05927] from Gilgal [01537] all night [03915]. 6 10 10 And the LORD [03068] discomfited [02000] them before [06440] Israel [03478], and slew [05221] them with a great [01419] slaughter [04347] at Gibeon [01391], and chased [07291] them along the way [01870] that goeth up [04608] to Bethhoron [01032], and smote [05221] them to Azekah [05825], and unto Makkedah [04719]. 6 10 11 And it came to pass, as they fled [05127] from before [06440] Israel [03478], and were in the going down [04174] to Bethhoron [01032], that the LORD [03068] cast down [07993] great [01419] stones [068] from heaven [08064] upon them unto Azekah [05825], and they died [04191]: they were more [07227] which died [04191] with hailstones [01259] [068] than they whom [0834] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [02026] with the sword [02719]. 6 10 12 Then spake [01696] Joshua [03091] to the LORD [03068] in the day [03117] when the LORD [03068] delivered up [05414] the Amorites [0567] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and he said [0559] in the sight [05869] of Israel [03478], Sun [08121], stand thou still [01826] upon Gibeon [01391]; and thou, Moon [03394], in the valley [06010] of Ajalon [0357]. 6 10 13 And the sun [08121] stood still [01826], and the moon [03394] stayed [05975], until the people [01471] had avenged [05358] themselves upon their enemies [0341]. Is not this [01931] written [03789] in the book [05612] of Jasher [03477]? So the sun [08121] stood still [05975] in the midst [02677] of heaven [08064], and hasted [0213] not to go down [0935] about a whole [08549] day [03117]. 6 10 14 And there was no day [03117] like that before [06440] it or after [0310] it, that the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] unto the voice [06963] of a man [0376]: for the LORD [03068] fought [03898] for Israel [03478]. 6 10 15 And Joshua [03091] returned [07725], and all Israel [03478] with him, unto the camp [04264] to Gilgal [01537]. 6 10 16 But these five [02568] kings [04428] fled [05127], and hid [02244] themselves in a cave [04631] at Makkedah [04719]. 6 10 17 And it was told [05046] Joshua [03091], saying [0559], The five [02568] kings [04428] are found [04672] hid [02244] in a cave [04631] at Makkedah [04719]. 6 10 18 And Joshua [03091] said [0559], Roll [01556] great [01419] stones [068] upon the mouth [06310] of the cave [04631], and set [06485] men [0582] by it for to keep [08104] them: 6 10 19 And stay [05975] ye not, but pursue [07291] after [0310] your enemies [0341], and smite the hindmost [02179] of them; suffer [05414] them not to enter [0935] into their cities [05892]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath delivered [05414] them into your hand [03027]. 6 10 20 And it came to pass, when Joshua [03091] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had made an end [03615] of slaying [05221] them with a very [03966] great [01419] slaughter [04347], till they were consumed [08552], that the rest [08300] which remained [08277] of them entered [0935] into fenced [04013] cities [05892]. 6 10 21 And all the people [05971] returned [07725] to the camp [04264] to Joshua [03091] at Makkedah [04719] in peace [07965]: none moved [02782] his tongue [03956] against any [0376] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 10 22 Then said [0559] Joshua [03091], Open [06605] the mouth [06310] of the cave [04631], and bring out [03318] those five [02568] kings [04428] unto me out of the cave [04631]. 6 10 23 And they did [06213] so, and brought forth [03318] those five [02568] kings [04428] unto him out of the cave [04631], the king [04428] of Jerusalem [03389], the king [04428] of Hebron [02275], the king [04428] of Jarmuth [03412], the king [04428] of Lachish [03923], and the king [04428] of Eglon [05700]. 6 10 24 And it came to pass, when they brought out [03318] those kings [04428] unto Joshua [03091], that Joshua [03091] called [07121] for all the men [0376] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto the captains [07101] of the men [0582] of war [04421] which went [01980] with him, Come near [07126], put [07760] your feet [07272] upon the necks [06677] of these kings [04428]. And they came near [07126], and put [07760] their feet [07272] upon the necks [06677] of them. 6 10 25 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto them, Fear [03372] not, nor be dismayed [02865], be strong [02388] and of good courage [0553]: for thus shall the LORD [03068] do [06213] to all your enemies [0341] against whom ye fight [03898]. 6 10 26 And afterward [0310] Joshua [03091] smote [05221] them, and slew [04191] them, and hanged [08518] them on five [02568] trees [06086]: and they were hanging [08518] upon the trees [06086] until the evening [06153]. 6 10 27 And it came to pass at the time [06256] of the going down [0935] of the sun [08121], that Joshua [03091] commanded [06680], and they took them down [03381] off the trees [06086], and cast [07993] them into the cave [04631] wherein they had been hid [02244], and laid [07760] great [01419] stones [068] in the cave's [04631] mouth [06310], which remain until this very [06106] day [03117]. 6 10 28 And that day [03117] Joshua [03091] took [03920] Makkedah [04719], and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and the king [04428] thereof he utterly destroyed [02763], them, and all the souls [05315] that were therein; he let [07604] none remain [08300]: and he did [06213] to the king [04428] of Makkedah [04719] as he did [06213] unto the king [04428] of Jericho [03405]. 6 10 29 Then Joshua [03091] passed [05674] from Makkedah [04719], and all Israel [03478] with him, unto Libnah [03841], and fought [03898] against Libnah [03841]: 6 10 30 And the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] it also, and the king [04428] thereof, into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478]; and he smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and all the souls [05315] that were therein; he let [07604] none remain [08300] in it; but did [06213] unto the king [04428] thereof as he did [06213] unto the king [04428] of Jericho [03405]. 6 10 31 And Joshua [03091] passed [05674] from Libnah [03841], and all Israel [03478] with him, unto Lachish [03923], and encamped [02583] against it, and fought [03898] against it: 6 10 32 And the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] Lachish [03923] into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478], which took [03920] it on the second [08145] day [03117], and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and all the souls [05315] that were therein, according to all that he had done [06213] to Libnah [03841]. 6 10 33 Then Horam [02036] king [04428] of Gezer [01507] came up [05927] to help [05826] Lachish [03923]; and Joshua [03091] smote [05221] him and his people [05971], until he had left [07604] him none remaining [08300]. 6 10 34 And from Lachish [03923] Joshua [03091] passed [05674] unto Eglon [05700], and all Israel [03478] with him; and they encamped [02583] against it, and fought [03898] against it: 6 10 35 And they took [03920] it on that day [03117], and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and all the souls [05315] that were therein he utterly destroyed [02763] that day [03117], according to all that he had done [06213] to Lachish [03923]. 6 10 36 And Joshua [03091] went up [05927] from Eglon [05700], and all Israel [03478] with him, unto Hebron [02275]; and they fought [03898] against it: 6 10 37 And they took [03920] it, and smote [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and the king [04428] thereof, and all the cities [05892] thereof, and all the souls [05315] that were therein; he left [07604] none remaining [08300], according to all that he had done [06213] to Eglon [05700]; but destroyed [02763] it utterly, and all the souls [05315] that were therein. 6 10 38 And Joshua [03091] returned [07725], and all Israel [03478] with him, to Debir [01688]; and fought [03898] against it: 6 10 39 And he took [03920] it, and the king [04428] thereof, and all the cities [05892] thereof; and they smote [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and utterly destroyed [02763] all the souls [05315] that were therein; he left [07604] none remaining [08300]: as he had done [06213] to Hebron [02275], so he did [06213] to Debir [01688], and to the king [04428] thereof; as he had done [06213] also to Libnah [03841], and to her king [04428]. 6 10 40 So Joshua [03091] smote [05221] all the country [0776] of the hills [02022], and of the south [05045], and of the vale [08219], and of the springs [0794], and all their kings [04428]: he left [07604] none remaining [08300], but utterly destroyed [02763] all that breathed [05397], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] commanded [06680]. 6 10 41 And Joshua [03091] smote [05221] them from Kadeshbarnea [06947] even unto Gaza [05804], and all the country [0776] of Goshen [01657], even unto Gibeon [01391]. 6 10 42 And all these kings [04428] and their land [0776] did Joshua [03091] take [03920] at one [0259] time [06471], because the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] fought [03898] for Israel [03478]. 6 10 43 And Joshua [03091] returned [07725], and all Israel [03478] with him, unto the camp [04264] to Gilgal [01537]. 6 11 1 And it came to pass, when Jabin [02985] king [04428] of Hazor [02674] had heard [08085] those things, that he sent [07971] to Jobab [03103] king [04428] of Madon [04068], and to the king [04428] of Shimron [08110], and to the king [04428] of Achshaph [0407], 6 11 2 And to the kings [04428] that were on the north [06828] of the mountains [02022], and of the plains [06160] south [05045] of Chinneroth [03672], and in the valley [08219], and in the borders [05299] of Dor [01756] on the west [03220], 6 11 3 And to the Canaanite [03669] on the east [04217] and on the west [03220], and to the Amorite [0567], and the Hittite [02850], and the Perizzite [06522], and the Jebusite [02983] in the mountains [02022], and to the Hivite [02340] under Hermon [02768] in the land [0776] of Mizpeh [04709]. 6 11 4 And they went out [03318], they and all their hosts [04264] with them, much [07227] people [05971], even as the sand [02344] that is upon the sea [03220] shore [08193] in multitude [07230], with horses [05483] and chariots [07393] very [03966] many [07227]. 6 11 5 And when all these kings [04428] were met together [03259], they came [0935] and pitched [02583] together [03162] at the waters [04325] of Merom [04792], to fight [03898] against Israel [03478]. 6 11 6 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Be not afraid [03372] because [06440] of them: for to morrow [04279] about this time [06256] will I deliver them up [05414] all slain [02491] before [06440] Israel [03478]: thou shalt hough [06131] their horses [05483], and burn [08313] their chariots [04818] with fire [0784]. 6 11 7 So Joshua [03091] came [0935], and all the people [05971] of war [04421] with him, against them by the waters [04325] of Merom [04792] suddenly [06597]; and they fell upon [05307] them. 6 11 8 And the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478], who smote [05221] them, and chased [07291] them unto great [07227] Zidon [06721], and unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and unto the valley [01237] of Mizpeh [04708] eastward [04217]; and they smote [05221] them, until they left [07604] them none remaining [08300]. 6 11 9 And Joshua [03091] did [06213] unto them as the LORD [03068] bade [0559] him: he houghed [06131] their horses [05483], and burnt [08313] their chariots [04818] with fire [0784]. 6 11 10 And Joshua [03091] at that time [06256] turned back [07725], and took [03920] Hazor [02674], and smote [05221] the king [04428] thereof with the sword [02719]: for Hazor [02674] beforetime [06440] was the head [07218] of all those kingdoms [04467]. 6 11 11 And they smote [05221] all the souls [05315] that were therein with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], utterly destroying [02763] them: there was not any left [03498] to breathe [05397]: and he burnt [08313] Hazor [02674] with fire [0784]. 6 11 12 And all the cities [05892] of those kings [04428], and all the kings [04428] of them, did Joshua [03091] take [03920], and smote [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and he utterly destroyed [02763] them, as Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]. 6 11 13 But as for the cities [05892] that stood [05975] still in their strength [08510], Israel [03478] burned [08313] none of them, save [02108] Hazor [02674] only; that did Joshua [03091] burn [08313]. 6 11 14 And all the spoil [07998] of these cities [05892], and the cattle [0929], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] took for a prey [0962] unto themselves; but every man [0120] they smote [05221] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], until they had destroyed [08045] them, neither left [07604] they any to breathe [05397]. 6 11 15 As the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] his servant [05650], so did Moses [04872] command [06680] Joshua [03091], and so did [06213] Joshua [03091]; he left [05493] nothing [01697] undone [05493] of all that the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 6 11 16 So Joshua [03091] took [03947] all that land [0776], the hills [02022], and all the south country [05045], and all the land [0776] of Goshen [01657], and the valley [08219], and the plain [06160], and the mountain [02022] of Israel [03478], and the valley [08219] of the same; 6 11 17 Even from the mount [02022] Halak [02510], that goeth up [05927] to Seir [08165], even unto Baalgad [01171] in the valley [01237] of Lebanon [03844] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768]: and all their kings [04428] he took [03920], and smote [05221] them, and slew [04191] them. 6 11 18 Joshua [03091] made [06213] war [04421] a long [07227] time [03117] with all those kings [04428]. 6 11 19 There was not a city [05892] that made peace [07999] with the children [01121] of Israel [03478], save the Hivites [02340] the inhabitants [03427] of Gibeon [01391]: all other they took [03947] in battle [04421]. 6 11 20 For it was of the LORD [03068] to harden [02388] their hearts [03820], that they should come against [07125] Israel [03478] in battle [04421], that he might destroy them utterly [02763], and that they might have no favour [08467], but that he might destroy [08045] them, as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 6 11 21 And at that time [06256] came [0935] Joshua [03091], and cut off [03772] the Anakims [06062] from the mountains [02022], from Hebron [02275], from Debir [01688], from Anab [06024], and from all the mountains [02022] of Judah [03063], and from all the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478]: Joshua [03091] destroyed them utterly [02763] with their cities [05892]. 6 11 22 There was none of the Anakims [06062] left [03498] in the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only in Gaza [05804], in Gath [01661], and in Ashdod [0795], there remained [07604]. 6 11 23 So Joshua [03091] took [03947] the whole land [0776], according to all that the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872]; and Joshua [03091] gave [05414] it for an inheritance [05159] unto Israel [03478] according to their divisions [04256] by their tribes [07626]. And the land [0776] rested [08252] from war [04421]. 6 12 1 Now these are the kings [04428] of the land [0776], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] smote [05221], and possessed [03423] their land [0776] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383] toward the rising [04217] of the sun [08121], from the river [05158] Arnon [0769] unto mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and all the plain [06160] on the east [04217]: 6 12 2 Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], who dwelt [03427] in Heshbon [02809], and ruled [04910] from Aroer [06177], which is upon the bank [08193] of the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and from the middle [08432] of the river [05158], and from half [02677] Gilead [01568], even unto the river [05158] Jabbok [02999], which is the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]; 6 12 3 And from the plain [06160] to the sea [03220] of Chinneroth [03672] on the east [04217], and unto the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], even the salt [04417] sea [03220] on the east [04217], the way [01870] to Bethjeshimoth [01020]; and from the south [08486], under Ashdothpisgah [0798] [0794]: 6 12 4 And the coast [01366] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], which was of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497], that dwelt [03427] at Ashtaroth [06252] and at Edrei [0154], 6 12 5 And reigned [04910] in mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and in Salcah [05548], and in all Bashan [01316], unto the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and the Maachathites [04602], and half [02677] Gilead [01568], the border [01366] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809]. 6 12 6 Them did Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] smite [05221]: and Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] it for a possession [03425] unto the Reubenites [07206], and the Gadites [01425], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519]. 6 12 7 And these are the kings [04428] of the country [0776] which Joshua [03091] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] smote [05221] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] on the west [03220], from Baalgad [01171] in the valley [01237] of Lebanon [03844] even unto the mount [02022] Halak [02510], that goeth up [05927] to Seir [08165]; which Joshua [03091] gave [05414] unto the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] for a possession [03425] according to their divisions [04256]; 6 12 8 In the mountains [02022], and in the valleys [08219], and in the plains [06160], and in the springs [0794], and in the wilderness [04057], and in the south country [05045]; the Hittites [02850], the Amorites [0567], and the Canaanites [03669], the Perizzites [06522], the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]: 6 12 9 The king [04428] of Jericho [03405], one [0259]; the king [04428] of Ai [05857], which is beside [06654] Bethel [01008], one [0259];

and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Thou art old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117], and there remaineth [07604] yet very [03966] much [07235] land [0776] to be possessed [03423]. 6 13 2 This is the land [0776] that yet remaineth [07604]: all the borders [01552] of the Philistines [06430], and all Geshuri [01651], 6 13 3 From Sihor [07883], which is before [06440] Egypt [04714], even unto the borders [01366] of Ekron [06138] northward [06828], which is counted [02803] to the Canaanite [03669]: five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]; the Gazathites [05841], and the Ashdothites [0796], the Eshkalonites [0832], the Gittites [01663], and the Ekronites [06139]; also the Avites [05761]: 6 13 4 From the south [08486], all the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], and Mearah [04632] that is beside the Sidonians [06722], unto Aphek [0663], to the borders [01366] of the Amorites [0567]: 6 13 5 And the land [0776] of the Giblites [01382], and all Lebanon [03844], toward the sunrising [04217] [08121], from Baalgad [01171] under mount [02022] Hermon [02768] unto the entering [0935] into Hamath [02574]. 6 13 6 All the inhabitants [03427] of the hill country [02022] from Lebanon [03844] unto Misrephothmaim [04956], and all the Sidonians [06722], them will I drive out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: only divide thou it by lot [05307] unto the Israelites [03478] for an inheritance [05159], as I have commanded [06680] thee. 6 13 7 Now therefore divide [02505] this land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] unto the nine [08672] tribes [07626], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], 6 13 8 With whom the Reubenites [07206] and the Gadites [01425] have received [03947] their inheritance [05159], which Moses [04872] gave [05414] them, beyond [05676] Jordan [03383] eastward [04217], even as Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] them; 6 13 9 From Aroer [06177], that is upon the bank [08193] of the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and the city [05892] that is in the midst [08432] of the river [05158], and all the plain [04334] of Medeba [04311] unto Dibon [01769]; 6 13 10 And all the cities [05892] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which reigned [04427] in Heshbon [02809], unto the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]; 6 13 11 And Gilead [01568], and the border [01366] of the Geshurites [01651] and Maachathites [04602], and all mount [02022] Hermon [02768], and all Bashan [01316] unto Salcah [05548]; 6 13 12 All the kingdom [04468] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316], which reigned [04427] in Ashtaroth [06252] and in Edrei [0154], who remained [07604] of the remnant [03499] of the giants [07497]: for these did Moses [04872] smite [05221], and cast them out [03423]. 6 13 13 Nevertheless the children [01121] of Israel [03478] expelled [03423] not the Geshurites [01651], nor the Maachathites [04602]: but the Geshurites [01650] and the Maachathites [04601] dwell [03427] among [07130] the Israelites [03478] until this day [03117]. 6 13 14 Only unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159]; the sacrifices [0801] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] made by fire [0801] are their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them. 6 13 15 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] unto the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] inheritance according to their families [04940]. 6 13 16 And their coast [01366] was from Aroer [06177], that is on the bank [08193] of the river [05158] Arnon [0769], and the city [05892] that is in the midst [08432] of the river [05158], and all the plain [04334] by Medeba [04311]; 6 13 17 Heshbon [02809], and all her cities [05892] that are in the plain [04334]; Dibon [01769], and Bamothbaal [01120], and Bethbaalmeon [01010], 6 13 18 And Jahazah [03096], and Kedemoth [06932], and Mephaath [04158], 6 13 19 And Kirjathaim [07156], and Sibmah [07643], and Zarethshahar [06890] in the mount [02022] of the valley [06010], 6 13 20 And Bethpeor [01047], and Ashdothpisgah [0798] [0794], and Bethjeshimoth [01020], 6 13 21 And all the cities [05892] of the plain [04334], and all the kingdom [04468] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], which reigned [04427] in Heshbon [02809], whom Moses [04872] smote [05221] with the princes [05387] of Midian [04080], Evi [0189], and Rekem [07552], and Zur [06698], and Hur [02354], and Reba [07254], which were dukes [05257] of Sihon [05511], dwelling [03427] in the country [0776]. 6 13 22 Balaam [01109] also the son [01121] of Beor [01160], the soothsayer [07080], did the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slay [02026] with the sword [02719] among them [0413] that were slain [02491] by them. 6 13 23 And the border [01366] of the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] was Jordan [03383], and the border [01366] thereof. This was the inheritance [05159] of the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] after their families [04940], the cities [05892] and the villages [02691] thereof. 6 13 24 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] inheritance unto the tribe [04294] of Gad [01410], even unto the children [01121] of Gad [01410] according to their families [04940]. 6 13 25 And their coast [01366] was Jazer [03270], and all the cities [05892] of Gilead [01568], and half [02677] the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], unto Aroer [06177] that is before [06440] Rabbah [07237]; 6 13 26 And from Heshbon [02809] unto Ramathmizpeh [07434], and Betonim [0993]; and from Mahanaim [04266] unto the border [01366] of Debir [01688]; 6 13 27 And in the valley [06010], Betharam [01027], and Bethnimrah [01039], and Succoth [05523], and Zaphon [06829], the rest [03499] of the kingdom [04468] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], Jordan [03383] and his border [01366], even unto the edge [07097] of the sea [03220] of Chinnereth [03672] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383] eastward [04217]. 6 13 28 This is the inheritance [05159] of the children [01121] of Gad [01410] after their families [04940], the cities [05892], and their villages [02691]. 6 13 29 And Moses [04872] gave [05414] inheritance unto the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519]: and this was the possession of the half [02677] tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Manasseh [04519] by their families [04940]. 6 13 30 And their coast [01366] was from Mahanaim [04266], all Bashan [01316], all the kingdom [04468] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], and all the towns [02333] of Jair [02971], which are in Bashan [01316], threescore [08346] cities [05892]: 6 13 31 And half [02677] Gilead [01568], and Ashtaroth [06252], and Edrei [0154], cities [05892] of the kingdom [04468] of Og [05747] in Bashan [01316], were pertaining unto the children [01121] of Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], even to the one half [02677] of the children [01121] of Machir [04353] by their families [04940]. 6 13 32 These are the countries which Moses [04872] did distribute for inheritance [05157] in the plains [06160] of Moab [04124], on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383], by Jericho [03405], eastward [04217]. 6 13 33 But unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] Moses [04872] gave [05414] not any inheritance [05159]: the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] was their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them. 6 14 1 And these are the countries which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] inherited [05157] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], which Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and the heads [07218] of the fathers [01] of the tribes [04294] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], distributed for inheritance [05157] to them. 6 14 2 By lot [01486] was their inheritance [05159], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872], for the nine [08672] tribes [04294], and for the half [02677] tribe [04294]. 6 14 3 For Moses [04872] had given [05414] the inheritance [05159] of two [08147] tribes [04294] and an half [02677] tribe [04294] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]: but unto the Levites [03881] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159] among [08432] them. 6 14 4 For the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] were two [08147] tribes [04294], Manasseh [04519] and Ephraim [0669]: therefore they gave [05414] no part [02506] unto the Levites [03881] in the land [0776], save cities [05892] to dwell [03427] in, with their suburbs [04054] for their cattle [04735] and for their substance [07075]. 6 14 5 As the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872], so the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213], and they divided [02505] the land [0776]. 6 14 6 Then the children [01121] of Judah [03063] came [05066] unto Joshua [03091] in Gilgal [01537]: and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] said [0559] unto him, Thou knowest [03045] the thing [01697] that the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430] concerning me [0182] and thee [0182] in Kadeshbarnea [06947]. 6 14 7 Forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] was I when Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] sent [07971] me from Kadeshbarnea [06947] to espy out [07270] the land [0776]; and I brought [07725] him word [01697] again [07725] as it was in mine heart [03824]. 6 14 8 Nevertheless my brethren [0251] that went up [05927] with me made the heart [03820] of the people [05971] melt [04529]: but I wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430]. 6 14 9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430]. 6 14 10 And now, behold, the LORD [03068] hath kept me alive [02421], as he said [01696], these forty [0705] and five [02568] years [08141], even since [0227] the LORD [03068] spake [01696] this word [01697] unto Moses [04872], while the children of Israel [03478] wandered [01980] in the wilderness [04057]: and now, lo, I am this day [03117] fourscore [08084] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121]. 6 14 11 As yet I am as strong [02389] this day [03117] as I was in the day [03117] that Moses [04872] sent [07971] me: as my strength [03581] was then, even so is my strength [03581] now, for war [04421], both to go out [03318], and to come in [0935]. 6 14 12 Now therefore give [05414] me this mountain [02022], whereof the LORD [03068] spake [01696] in that day [03117]; for thou heardest [08085] in that day [03117] how the Anakims [06062] were there, and that the cities [05892] were great [01419] and fenced [01219]: if so be [0194] the LORD [03068] will be with [0854] me, then I shall be able to drive them out [03423], as the LORD [03068] said [01696]. 6 14 13 And Joshua [03091] blessed [01288] him, and gave [05414] unto Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] Hebron [02275] for an inheritance [05159]. 6 14 14 Hebron [02275] therefore became the inheritance [05159] of Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] unto this day [03117], because that he wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 6 14 15 And the name [08034] of Hebron [02275] before [06440] was Kirjatharba [07153]; which Arba was a great [01419] man [0120] among the Anakims [06062]. And the land [0776] had rest [08252] from war [04421]. 6 15 1 This then was the lot [01486] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063] by their families [04940]; even to the border [01366] of Edom [0123] the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790] southward [05045] was the uttermost part [07097] of the south coast [08486]. 6 15 2 And their south [05045] border [01366] was from the shore [07097] of the salt [04417] sea [03220], from the bay [03956] that looketh [06437] southward [05045]: 6 15 3 And it went out [03318] to the south side [05045] to Maalehacrabbim [04610], and passed [05674] along to Zin [06790], and ascended up [05927] on the south side [05045] unto Kadeshbarnea [06947], and passed [05674] along to Hezron [02696], and went up [05927] to Adar [0146], and fetched a compass [05437] to Karkaa [07173]: 6 15 4 From thence it passed [05674] toward Azmon [06111], and went out [03318] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714]; and the goings out [08444] of that coast [01366] were at the sea [03220]: this shall be your south [05045] coast [01366]. 6 15 5 And the east [06924] border [01366] was the salt [04417] sea [03220], even unto the end [07097] of Jordan [03383].

This is the coast [01366] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063] round about [05439] according to their families [04940]. 6 15 13 And unto Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] he gave [05414] a part [02506] among [08432] the children [01121] of Judah [03063], according [0413] to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] to Joshua [03091], even the city [07151] of Arba [0704] [07153] the father [01] of Anak [06061], which city is Hebron [02275]. 6 15 14 And Caleb [03612] drove [03423] thence the three [07969] sons [01121] of Anak [06061], Sheshai [08344], and Ahiman [0289], and Talmai [08526], the children [03211] of Anak [06061]. 6 15 15 And he went up [05927] thence to the inhabitants [03427] of Debir [01688]: and the name [08034] of Debir [01688] before [06440] was Kirjathsepher [07158]. 6 15 16 And Caleb [03612] said [0559], He that smiteth [05221] Kirjathsepher [07158], and taketh [03920] it, to him will I give [05414] Achsah [05915] my daughter [01323] to wife [0802]. 6 15 17 And Othniel [06274] the son [01121] of Kenaz [07073], the brother [0251] of Caleb [03612], took [03920] it: and he gave [05414] him Achsah [05915] his daughter [01323] to wife [0802]. 6 15 18 And it came to pass, as she came [0935] unto him, that she moved [05496] him to ask [07592] of her father [01] a field [07704]: and she lighted off [06795] her ass [02543]; and Caleb [03612] said [0559] unto her, What wouldest thou? 6 15 19 Who answered [0559], Give [05414] me a blessing [01293]; for thou hast given [05414] me a south [05045] land [0776]; give [05414] me also springs [01543] of water [04325].

Therefore according to the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] he gave [05414] them an inheritance [05159] among [08432] the brethren [0251] of their father [01]. 6 17 5 And there fell [05307] ten [06235] portions [02256] to Manasseh [04519], beside the land [0776] of Gilead [01568] and Bashan [01316], which were on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]; 6 17 6 Because the daughters [01323] of Manasseh [04519] had [05157] an inheritance [05159] among [08432] his sons [01121]: and the rest [03498] of Manasseh's [04519] sons [01121] had the land [0776] of Gilead [01568]. 6 17 7 And the coast [01366] of Manasseh [04519] was from Asher [0836] to Michmethah [04366], that lieth before [06440] Shechem [07927]; and the border [01366] went along [01980] on the right hand [03225] unto the inhabitants [03427] of Entappuah [05887]. 6 17 8 Now Manasseh [04519] had the land [0776] of Tappuah [08599]: but Tappuah [08599] on the border [01366] of Manasseh [04519] belonged to the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669]; 6 17 9 And the coast [01366] descended [03381] unto the river [05158] Kanah [07071], southward [05045] of the river [05158]: these cities [05892] of Ephraim [0669] are among [08432] the cities [05892] of Manasseh [04519]: the coast [01366] of Manasseh [04519] also was on the north side [06828] of the river [05158], and the outgoings [08444] of it were at the sea [03220]: 6 17 10 Southward [05045] it was Ephraim's [0669], and northward [06828] it was Manasseh's [04519], and the sea [03220] is his border [01366]; and they met together [06293] in Asher [0836] on the north [06828], and in Issachar [03485] on the east [04217]. 6 17 11 And Manasseh [04519] had in Issachar [03485] and in Asher [0836] Bethshean [01052] and her towns [01323], and Ibleam [02991] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Dor [01756] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Endor [05874] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Taanach [08590] and her towns [01323], and the inhabitants [03427] of Megiddo [04023] and her towns [01323], even three [07969] countries [05316]. 6 17 12 Yet the children [01121] of Manasseh [04519] could [03201] not drive out [03423] the inhabitants of those cities [05892]; but the Canaanites [03669] would [02974] dwell [03427] in that land [0776]. 6 17 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were waxen strong [02388], that they put [05414] the Canaanites [03669] to tribute [04522]; but did not utterly [03423] drive them out [03423]. 6 17 14 And the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] spake [01696] unto Joshua [03091], saying [0559], Why hast thou given [05414] me but one [0259] lot [01486] and one [0259] portion [02256] to inherit [05159], seeing I am a great [07227] people [05971], forasmuch as [05704] the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] me hitherto [03541]? 6 17 15 And Joshua [03091] answered [0559] them, If thou be a great [07227] people [05971], then get thee up [05927] to the wood [03293] country, and cut down [01254] for thyself there in the land [0776] of the Perizzites [06522] and of the giants [07497], if mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] be too narrow [0213] for thee. 6 17 16 And the children [01121] of Joseph [03130] said [0559], The hill [02022] is not enough [04672] for us: and all the Canaanites [03669] that dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of the valley [06010] have chariots [07393] of iron [01270], both they who are of Bethshean [01052] and her towns [01323], and they who are of the valley [06010] of Jezreel [03157]. 6 17 17 And Joshua [03091] spake [0559] unto the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], even to Ephraim [0669] and to Manasseh [04519], saying [0559], Thou art a great [07227] people [05971], and hast great [01419] power [03581]: thou shalt not have one [0259] lot [01486] only: 6 17 18 But the mountain [02022] shall be thine; for it is a wood [03293], and thou shalt cut it down [01254]: and the outgoings [08444] of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out [03423] the Canaanites [03669], though they have iron [01270] chariots [07393], and though they be strong [02389]. 6 18 1 And the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] assembled together [06950] at Shiloh [07887], and set up [07931] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] there. And the land [0776] was subdued [03533] before [06440] them. 6 18 2 And there remained [03498] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478] seven [07651] tribes [07626], which had not yet received [02505] their inheritance [05159]. 6 18 3 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], How long are ye slack [07503] to go [0935] to possess [03423] the land [0776], which the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] hath given [05414] you? 6 18 4 Give out [03051] from among you three [07969] men [0582] for each tribe [07626]: and I will send [07971] them, and they shall rise [06965], and go [01980] through the land [0776], and describe [03789] it according [06310] to the inheritance [05159] of them; and they shall come [0935] again to me. 6 18 5 And they shall divide [02505] it into seven [07651] parts [02506]: Judah [03063] shall abide [05975] in their coast [01366] on the south [05045], and the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] shall abide [05975] in their coasts [01366] on the north [06828]. 6 18 6 Ye shall therefore describe [03789] the land [0776] into seven [07651] parts [02506], and bring [0935] the description hither to me, that I may cast [03384] lots [01486] for you here before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 6 18 7 But the Levites [03881] have no part [02506] among [07130] you; for the priesthood [03550] of the LORD [03068] is their inheritance [05159]: and Gad [01410], and Reuben [07205], and half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], have received [03947] their inheritance [05159] beyond [05676] Jordan [03383] on the east [04217], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] them. 6 18 8 And the men [0582] arose [06965], and went away [03212]: and Joshua [03091] charged [06680] them that went [01980] to describe [03789] the land [0776], saying [0559], Go [03212] and walk [01980] through the land [0776], and describe [03789] it, and come again [07725] to me, that I may here cast [07993] lots [01486] for you before [06440] the LORD [03068] in Shiloh [07887]. 6 18 9 And the men [0582] went [03212] and passed through [05674] the land [0776], and described [03789] it by cities [05892] into seven [07651] parts [02506] in a book [05612], and came [0935] again to Joshua [03091] to the host [04264] at Shiloh [07887]. 6 18 10 And Joshua [03091] cast [07993] lots [01486] for them in Shiloh [07887] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and there Joshua [03091] divided [02505] the land [0776] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478] according to their divisions [04256]. 6 18 11 And the lot [01486] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] came up [05927] according to their families [04940]: and the coast [01366] of their lot [01486] came forth [03318] between the children [01121] of Judah [03063] and the children [01121] of Joseph [03130]. 6 18 12 And their border [01366] on the north [06828] side [06285] was from Jordan [03383]; and the border [01366] went up [05927] to the side [03802] of Jericho [03405] on the north [06828] side, and went up [05927] through the mountains [02022] westward [03220]; and the goings out [08444] thereof were at the wilderness [04057] of Bethaven [01007]. 6 18 13 And the border [01366] went over [05674] from thence toward Luz [03870], to the side [03802] of Luz [03870], which is Bethel [01008], southward [05045]; and the border [01366] descended [03381] to Atarothadar [05853], near the hill [02022] that lieth on the south side [05045] of the nether [08481] Bethhoron [01032]. 6 18 14 And the border [01366] was drawn [08388] thence, and compassed [05437] the corner [06285] of the sea [03220] southward [05045], from the hill [02022] that lieth before [06440] Bethhoron [01032] southward [05045]; and the goings out [08444] thereof were at Kirjathbaal [07154], which is Kirjathjearim [07157], a city [05892] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063]: this was the west [03220] quarter [06285]. 6 18 15 And the south [05045] quarter [06285] was from the end [07097] of Kirjathjearim [07157], and the border [01366] went out [03318] on the west [03220], and went out [03318] to the well [04599] of waters [04325] of Nephtoah [05318]: 6 18 16 And the border [01366] came down [03381] to the end [07097] of the mountain [02022] that lieth before [06440] the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], and which is in the valley [06010] of the giants [07497] on the north [06828], and descended [03381] to the valley [01516] of Hinnom [02011], to the side [03802] of Jebusi [02983] on the south [05045], and descended [03381] to Enrogel [05883], 6 18 17 And was drawn [08388] from the north [06828], and went forth [03318] to Enshemesh [05885], and went forth [03318] toward Geliloth [01553], which is over against [05227] the going up [04608] of Adummim [0131], and descended [03381] to the stone [068] of Bohan [0932] the son [01121] of Reuben [07205], 6 18 18 And passed along [05674] toward the side [03802] over against [04136] Arabah [06160] northward [06828], and went down [03381] unto Arabah [06160]: 6 18 19 And the border [01366] passed along [05674] to the side [03802] of Bethhoglah [01031] northward [06828]: and the outgoings [08444] of the border [01366] were at the north [06828] bay [03956] of the salt [04417] sea [03220] at the south [05045] end [07097] of Jordan [03383]: this was the south [05045] coast [01366]. 6 18 20 And Jordan [03383] was the border [01379] of it on the east [06924] side [06285]. This was the inheritance [05159] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], by the coasts [01367] thereof round about [05439], according to their families [04940]. 6 18 21 Now the cities [05892] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] according to their families [04940] were Jericho [03405], and Bethhoglah [01031], and the valley [06010] of Keziz [07104], 6 18 22 And Betharabah [01026], and Zemaraim [06787], and Bethel [01008], 6 18 23 And Avim [05761], and Parah [06511], and Ophrah [06084], 6 18 24 And Chepharhaammonai [03726], and Ophni [06078], and Gaba [01387]; twelve [08147] [06240] cities [05892] with their villages [02691]: 6 18 25 Gibeon [01391], and Ramah [07414], and Beeroth [0881], 6 18 26 And Mizpeh [04708], and Chephirah [03716], and Mozah [04681], 6 18 27 And Rekem [07552], and Irpeel [03416], and Taralah [08634], 6 18 28 And Zelah [06762], Eleph [0507], and Jebusi [02983], which is Jerusalem [03389], Gibeath [01394], and Kirjath [07157]; fourteen [0702] [06240] cities [05892] with their villages [02691].

and Mahanaim [04266] with her suburbs [04054], 6 21 39 Heshbon [02809] with her suburbs [04054], Jazer [03270] with her suburbs [04054]; four [0702] cities [05892] in all. 6 21 40 So all the cities [05892] for the children [01121] of Merari [04847] by their families [04940], which were remaining [03498] of the families [04940] of the Levites [03881], were by their lot [01486] twelve [08147] [06240] cities [05892]. 6 21 41 All the cities [05892] of the Levites [03881] within [08432] the possession [0272] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were forty [0705] and eight [08083] cities [05892] with their suburbs [04054]. 6 21 42 These cities [05892] were every one [05892] [05892] with their suburbs [04054] round about [05439] them: thus were all these cities [05892]. 6 21 43 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] unto Israel [03478] all the land [0776] which he sware [07650] to give [05414] unto their fathers [01]; and they possessed [03423] it, and dwelt [03427] therein. 6 21 44 And the LORD [03068] gave them rest [05117] round about [05439], according to all that he sware [07650] unto their fathers [01]: and there stood [05975] not a man [0376] of all their enemies [0341] before [06440] them; the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] all their enemies [0341] into their hand [03027]. 6 21 45 There failed [05307] not ought [01697] of any good [02896] thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; all came to pass [0935]. 6 22 1 Then Joshua [03091] called [07121] the Reubenites [07206], and the Gadites [01425], and the half [02677] tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519], 6 22 2 And said [0559] unto them, Ye have kept [08104] all that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] you, and have obeyed [08085] my voice [06963] in all that I commanded [06680] you: 6 22 3 Ye have not left [05800] your brethren [0251] these many [07227] days [03117] unto this day [03117], but have kept [08104] the charge [04931] of the commandment [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 6 22 4 And now the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given rest [05117] unto your brethren [0251], as he promised [01696] them: therefore now return [06437] ye, and get [03212] you unto your tents [0168], and unto the land [0776] of your possession [0272], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] you on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]. 6 22 5 But take diligent [03966] heed [08104] to do [06213] the commandment [04687] and the law [08451], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] charged [06680] you, to love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and to cleave [01692] unto him, and to serve [05647] him with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315]. 6 22 6 So Joshua [03091] blessed [01288] them, and sent them away [07971]: and they went [03212] unto their tents [0168]. 6 22 7 Now to the one half [02677] of the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] Moses [04872] had given [05414] possession in Bashan [01316]: but unto the other half [02677] thereof gave [05414] Joshua [03091] among [05973] their brethren [0251] on this side [05676] Jordan [03383] westward [03220]. And when Joshua [03091] sent them away [07971] also unto their tents [0168], then he blessed [01288] them, 6 22 8 And he spake [0559] unto them, saying [0559], Return [07725] with much [07227] riches [05233] unto your tents [0168], and with very [03966] much [07227] cattle [04735], with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with brass [05178], and with iron [01270], and with very [03966] much [07235] raiment [08008]: divide [02505] the spoil [07998] of your enemies [0341] with your brethren [0251]. 6 22 9 And the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] returned [07725], and departed [03212] from the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Shiloh [07887], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], to go [03212] unto the country [0776] of Gilead [01568], to the land [0776] of their possession [0272], whereof they were possessed [0270], according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 6 22 10 And when they came [0935] unto the borders [01552] of Jordan [03383], that are in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] built [01129] there an altar [04196] by Jordan [03383], a great [01419] altar [04196] to see to [04758]. 6 22 11 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] heard [08085] say [0559], Behold, the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] have built [01129] an altar [04196] over against [04136] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], in the borders [01552] of Jordan [03383], at the passage [05676] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 6 22 12 And when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] heard [08085] of it, the whole congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] gathered themselves together [06950] at Shiloh [07887], to go up [05927] to war [06635] against them. 6 22 13 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] unto the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and to the children [01121] of Gad [01410], and to the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], into the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], Phinehas [06372] the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], 6 22 14 And with him ten [06235] princes [05387], of each [0259] [0259] chief [05387] [05387] house [01004] a prince [01] throughout all the tribes [04294] of Israel [03478]; and each one [0376] was an head [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01] among the thousands [0505] of Israel [03478]. 6 22 15 And they came [0935] unto the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and to the children [01121] of Gad [01410], and to the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], unto the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], and they spake [01696] with them, saying [0559], 6 22 16 Thus saith [0559] the whole congregation [05712] of the LORD [03068], What trespass [04604] is this that ye have committed [04603] against the God [0430] of Israel [03478], to turn away [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], in that ye have builded [01129] you an altar [04196], that ye might rebel [04775] this day [03117] against the LORD [03068]? 6 22 17 Is the iniquity [05771] of Peor [06465] too little [04592] for us, from which we are not cleansed [02891] until this day [03117], although there was a plague [05063] in the congregation [05712] of the LORD [03068], 6 22 18 But that ye must turn away [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the LORD [03068]? and it will be, seeing ye rebel [04775] to day [03117] against the LORD [03068], that to morrow [04279] he will be wroth [07107] with the whole congregation [05712] of Israel [03478]. 6 22 19 Notwithstanding [0389], if the land [0776] of your possession [0272] be unclean [02931], then pass ye over [05674] unto the land [0776] of the possession [0272] of the LORD [03068], wherein the LORD'S [03068] tabernacle [04908] dwelleth [07931], and take possession [0270] among [08432] us: but rebel [04775] not against the LORD [03068], nor [0408] rebel [04775] against us, in building [01129] you an altar [04196] beside [01107] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 6 22 20 Did not Achan [05912] the son [01121] of Zerah [02226] commit [04603] a trespass [04604] in the accursed thing [02764], and wrath [07110] fell [01961] on all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478]? and that man [0376] perished [01478] not alone [0259] in his iniquity [05771]. 6 22 21 Then the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] answered [06030], and said [01696] unto the heads [07218] of the thousands [0505] of Israel [03478], 6 22 22 The LORD [03068] God [0410] of gods [0430], the LORD [03068] God [0410] of gods [0430], he knoweth [03045], and Israel [03478] he shall know [03045]; if it be in rebellion [04777], or if in transgression [04604] against the LORD [03068], (save [03467] us not this day [03117],) 6 22 23 That we have built [01129] us an altar [04196] to turn [07725] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], or if to offer [05927] thereon burnt offering [05930] or meat offering [04503], or if to offer [06213] peace [08002] offerings [02077] thereon, let the LORD [03068] himself require [01245] it; 6 22 24 And if we have not rather done [06213] it for fear [01674] of this thing [01697], saying [0559], In time to come [04279] your children [01121] might speak [0559] unto our children [01121], saying [0559], What have ye to do with the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]? 6 22 25 For the LORD [03068] hath made [05414] Jordan [03383] a border [01366] between us and you, ye children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and children [01121] of Gad [01410]; ye have no part [02506] in the LORD [03068]: so shall your children [01121] make [07673] our children [01121] cease [07673] from [01115] fearing [03372] the LORD [03068]. 6 22 26 Therefore we said [0559], Let us now prepare [06213] to build [01129] us an altar [04196], not for burnt offering [05930], nor for sacrifice [02077]: 6 22 27 But that it may be a witness [05707] between us, and you, and our generations [01755] after [0310] us, that we might do [05647] the service [05656] of the LORD [03068] before [06440] him with our burnt offerings [05930], and with our sacrifices [02077], and with our peace offerings [08002]; that your children [01121] may not say [0559] to our children [01121] in time to come [04279], Ye have no part [02506] in the LORD [03068]. 6 22 28 Therefore said [0559] we, that it shall be, when they should so say [0559] to us or to our generations [01755] in time to come [04279], that we may say [0559] again, Behold [07200] the pattern [08403] of the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], which our fathers [01] made [06213], not for burnt offerings [05930], nor for sacrifices [02077]; but it is a witness [05707] between us and you. 6 22 29 God forbid [02486] that we should rebel [04775] against the LORD [03068], and turn [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], to build [01129] an altar [04196] for burnt offerings [05930], for meat offerings [04503], or for sacrifices [02077], beside the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430] that is before [06440] his tabernacle [04908]. 6 22 30 And when Phinehas [06372] the priest [03548], and the princes [05387] of the congregation [05712] and heads [07218] of the thousands [0505] of Israel [03478] which were with him, heard [08085] the words [01697] that the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the children [01121] of Manasseh [04519] spake [01696], it pleased [03190] [05869] them. 6 22 31 And Phinehas [06372] the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and to the children [01121] of Gad [01410], and to the children [01121] of Manasseh [04519], This day [03117] we perceive [03045] that the LORD [03068] is among [08432] us, because ye have not committed [04603] this trespass [04604] against the LORD [03068]: now [0227] ye have delivered [05337] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068]. 6 22 32 And Phinehas [06372] the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499] the priest [03548], and the princes [05387], returned [07725] from the children [01121] of Reuben [07205], and from the children [01121] of Gad [01410], out of the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], unto the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and brought [07725] them word [01697] again [07725]. 6 22 33 And the thing [01697] pleased [03190] [05869] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] blessed [01288] God [0430], and did not intend [0559] to go up [05927] against them in battle [06635], to destroy [07843] the land [0776] wherein the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and Gad [01410] dwelt [03427]. 6 22 34 And the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] called [07121] the altar [04196] Ed: for it shall be a witness [05707] between us that the LORD [03068] is God [0430]. 6 23 1 And it came to pass a long [07227] time [03117] after [0310] that the LORD [03068] had given rest [05117] unto Israel [03478] from all their enemies [0341] round about [05439], that Joshua [03091] waxed old [02204] and stricken [0935] in age [03117]. 6 23 2 And Joshua [03091] called [07121] for all Israel [03478], and for their elders [02205], and for their heads [07218], and for their judges [08199], and for their officers [07860], and said [0559] unto them, I am old [02204] and stricken [0935] in age [03117]: 6 23 3 And ye have seen [07200] all that the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath done [06213] unto all these nations [01471] because [06440] of you; for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] is he that hath fought [03898] for you. 6 23 4 Behold [07200], I have divided [05307] unto you by lot these nations [01471] that remain [07604], to be an inheritance [05159] for your tribes [07626], from Jordan [03383], with all the nations [01471] that I have cut off [03772], even unto the great [01419] sea [03220] westward [03996] [08121]. 6 23 5 And the LORD [03068] your God [0430], he shall expel [01920] them from before [06440] you, and drive [03423] them from out of your sight [06440]; and ye shall possess [03423] their land [0776], as the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath promised [01696] unto you. 6 23 6 Be ye therefore very [03966] courageous [02388] to keep [08104] and to do [06213] all that is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], that ye turn [05493] not aside therefrom to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040]; 6 23 7 That ye come [0935] not among these nations [01471], these that remain [07604] among you; neither make mention [02142] of the name [08034] of their gods [0430], nor cause to swear [07650] by them, neither serve [05647] them, nor bow [07812] yourselves unto them: 6 23 8 But cleave [01692] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430], as ye have done [06213] unto this day [03117]. 6 23 9 For the LORD [03068] hath driven out [03423] from before [06440] you great [01419] nations [01471] and strong [06099]: but as for you, no man [0376] hath been able to stand [05975] before [06440] you unto this day [03117]. 6 23 10 One [0259] man [0376] of you shall chase [07291] a thousand [0505]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430], he it is that fighteth [03898] for you, as he hath promised [01696] you. 6 23 11 Take good [03966] heed [08104] therefore unto yourselves [05315], that ye love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 6 23 12 Else if ye do in any wise [07725] go back [07725], and cleave [01692] unto the remnant [03499] of these nations [01471], even these that remain [07604] among you, and shall make marriages [02859] with them, and go in [0935] unto them, and they to you: 6 23 13 Know [03045] for a certainty [03045] that the LORD [03068] your God [0430] will no more [03254] drive out [03423] any of these nations [01471] from before [06440] you; but they shall be snares [06341] and traps [04170] unto you, and scourges [07850] in your sides [06654], and thorns [06796] in your eyes [05869], until ye perish [06] from off this good [02896] land [0127] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given [05414] you. 6 23 14 And, behold, this day [03117] I am going [01980] the way [01870] of all the earth [0776]: and ye know [03045] in all your hearts [03824] and in all your souls [05315], that not one [0259] thing [01697] hath failed [05307] of all the good [02896] things [01697] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] spake [01696] concerning you; all are come to pass [0935] unto you, and not one [0259] thing [01697] hath failed [05307] thereof. 6 23 15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good [02896] things [01697] are come [0935] upon you, which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] promised [01696] you; so shall the LORD [03068] bring [0935] upon you all evil [07451] things [01697], until he have destroyed [08045] you from off this good [02896] land [0127] which the LORD [03068] your God [0430] hath given [05414] you. 6 23 16 When ye have transgressed [05674] the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which he commanded [06680] you, and have gone [01980] and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and bowed [07812] yourselves to them; then shall the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] be kindled [02734] against you, and ye shall perish [06] quickly [04120] from off the good [02896] land [0776] which he hath given [05414] unto you. 6 24 1 And Joshua [03091] gathered [0622] all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to Shechem [07927], and called [07121] for the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and for their heads [07218], and for their judges [08199], and for their officers [07860]; and they presented [03320] themselves before [06440] God [0430]. 6 24 2 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Your fathers [01] dwelt [03427] on the other side [05676] of the flood [05104] in old time [05769], even Terah [08646], the father [01] of Abraham [085], and the father [01] of Nachor [05152]: and they served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430]. 6 24 3 And I took [03947] your father [01] Abraham [085] from the other side [05676] of the flood [05104], and led [03212] him throughout all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and multiplied [07235] his seed [02233], and gave [05414] him Isaac [03327]. 6 24 4 And I gave [05414] unto Isaac [03327] Jacob [03290] and Esau [06215]: and I gave [05414] unto Esau [06215] mount [02022] Seir [08165], to possess [03423] it; but Jacob [03290] and his children [01121] went down [03381] into Egypt [04714]. 6 24 5 I sent [07971] Moses [04872] also and Aaron [0175], and I plagued [05062] Egypt [04714], according to that which [0834] I did [06213] among [07130] them: and afterward [0310] I brought you out [03318]. 6 24 6 And I brought [03318] your fathers [01] out of Egypt [04714]: and ye came [0935] unto the sea [03220]; and the Egyptians [04714] pursued [07291] after [0310] your fathers [01] with chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571] unto the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 6 24 7 And when they cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], he put [07760] darkness [03990] between you and the Egyptians [04713], and brought [0935] the sea [03220] upon them, and covered [03680] them; and your eyes [05869] have seen [07200] what I have done [06213] in Egypt [04714]: and ye dwelt [03427] in the wilderness [04057] a long [07227] season [03117]. 6 24 8 And I brought [0935] you into the land [0776] of the Amorites [0567], which dwelt [03427] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]; and they fought [03898] with you: and I gave [05414] them into your hand [03027], that ye might possess [03423] their land [0776]; and I destroyed [08045] them from before [06440] you. 6 24 9 Then Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834], king [04428] of Moab [04124], arose [06965] and warred [03898] against Israel [03478], and sent [07971] and called [07121] Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] to curse [07043] you: 6 24 10 But I would [014] not hearken [08085] unto Balaam [01109]; therefore he blessed [01288] you still [01288]: so I delivered [05337] you out of his hand [03027]. 6 24 11 And ye went over [05674] Jordan [03383], and came [0935] unto Jericho [03405]: and the men [01167] of Jericho [03405] fought [03898] against you, the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Girgashites [01622], the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]; and I delivered [05414] them into your hand [03027]. 6 24 12 And I sent [07971] the hornet [06880] before [06440] you, which drave them out [01644] from before [06440] you, even the two [08147] kings [04428] of the Amorites [0567]; but not with thy sword [02719], nor with thy bow [07198]. 6 24 13 And I have given [05414] you a land [0776] for which ye did not labour [03021], and cities [05892] which ye built [01129] not, and ye dwell [03427] in them; of the vineyards [03754] and oliveyards [02132] which ye planted [05193] not do ye eat [0398]. 6 24 14 Now therefore fear [03372] the LORD [03068], and serve [05647] him in sincerity [08549] and in truth [0571]: and put away [05493] the gods [0430] which your fathers [01] served [05647] on the other side [05676] of the flood [05104], and in Egypt [04714]; and serve [05647] ye the LORD [03068]. 6 24 15 And if it seem evil [07489] unto you [04310] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068], choose [0977] you this day [03117] whom [05869] ye will serve [05647]; whether the gods [0430] which your fathers [01] served [05647] that were on the other side [05676] of the flood [05104], or the gods [0430] of the Amorites [0567], in whose land [0776] ye dwell [03427]: but as for me and my house [01004], we will serve [05647] the LORD [03068]. 6 24 16 And the people [05971] answered [06030] and said [0559], God forbid [02486] that we should forsake [05800] the LORD [03068], to serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430]; 6 24 17 For the LORD [03068] our God [0430], he it is that brought us up [05927] and our fathers [01] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the house [01004] of bondage [05650], and which did [06213] those great [01419] signs [0226] in our sight [05869], and preserved [08104] us in all the way [01870] wherein we went [01980], and among all the people [05971] through [07130] whom we passed [05674]: 6 24 18 And the LORD [03068] drave out [01644] from before [06440] us all the people [05971], even the Amorites [0567] which dwelt [03427] in the land [0776]: therefore will we also serve [05647] the LORD [03068]; for he is our God [0430]. 6 24 19 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Ye cannot [03201] serve [05647] the LORD [03068]: for he is an holy [06918] God [0430]; he is a jealous [07072] God [0410]; he will not forgive [05375] your transgressions [06588] nor your sins [02403]. 6 24 20 If ye forsake [05800] the LORD [03068], and serve [05647] strange [05236] gods [0430], then he will turn [07725] and do you hurt [07489], and consume [03615] you, after [0310] that he hath done you good [03190]. 6 24 21 And the people [05971] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Nay; but we will serve [05647] the LORD [03068]. 6 24 22 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Ye are witnesses [05707] against yourselves that ye have chosen [0977] you the LORD [03068], to serve [05647] him. And they said [0559], We are witnesses [05707]. 6 24 23 Now therefore put away [05493], said he, the strange [05236] gods [0430] which are among [07130] you, and incline [05186] your heart [03824] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 6 24 24 And the people [05971] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], The LORD [03068] our God [0430] will we serve [05647], and his voice [06963] will we obey [08085]. 6 24 25 So Joshua [03091] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with the people [05971] that day [03117], and set [07760] them a statute [02706] and an ordinance [04941] in Shechem [07927]. 6 24 26 And Joshua [03091] wrote [03789] these words [01697] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of God [0430], and took [03947] a great [01419] stone [068], and set it up [06965] there under an oak [0427], that was by the sanctuary [04720] of the LORD [03068]. 6 24 27 And Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], Behold, this stone [068] shall be a witness [05713] unto us; for it hath heard [08085] all the words [0561] of the LORD [03068] which he spake [01696] unto us: it shall be therefore a witness [05713] unto you, lest ye deny [03584] your God [0430]. 6 24 28 So Joshua [03091] let the people [05971] depart [07971], every man [0376] unto his inheritance [05159]. 6 24 29 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121]. 6 24 30 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathserah [08556], which is in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] of Gaash [01608]. 6 24 31 And Israel [03478] served [05647] the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of Joshua [03091], and all the days [03117] of the elders [02205] that overlived [0748] [03117] [0310] Joshua [03091], and which had known [03045] all the works [04639] of the LORD [03068], that he had done [06213] for Israel [03478]. 6 24 32 And the bones [06106] of Joseph [03130], which the children [01121] of Israel [03478] brought up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], buried [06912] they in Shechem [07927], in a parcel [02513] of ground [07704] which Jacob [03290] bought [07069] of the sons [01121] of Hamor [02544] the father [01] of Shechem [07927] for an hundred [03967] pieces of silver [07192]: and it became the inheritance [05159] of the children [01121] of Joseph [03130]. 6 24 33 And Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] died [04191]; and they buried [06912] him in a hill [01389] that pertained to Phinehas [06372] his son [01121], which was given [05414] him in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]. 7 1 1 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Joshua [03091] it came to pass, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] asked [07592] the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Who shall go up [05927] for us against the Canaanites [03669] first [08462], to fight [03898] against them? 7 1 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Judah [03063] shall go up [05927]: behold, I have delivered [05414] the land [0776] into his hand [03027]. 7 1 3 And Judah [03063] said [0559] unto Simeon [08095] his brother [0251], Come up [05927] with me into my lot [01486], that we may fight [03898] against the Canaanites [03669]; and I likewise will go [01980] with thee into thy lot [01486]. So Simeon [08095] went [03212] with him. 7 1 4 And Judah [03063] went up [05927]; and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] the Canaanites [03669] and the Perizzites [06522] into their hand [03027]: and they slew [05221] of them in Bezek [0966] ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 7 1 5 And they found [04672] Adonibezek [0137] in Bezek [0966]: and they fought [03898] against him, and they slew [05221] the Canaanites [03669] and the Perizzites [06522]. 7 1 6 But Adonibezek [0137] fled [05127]; and they pursued [07291] after [0310] him, and caught [0270] him, and cut off [07112] his thumbs [0931] [03027] and his great toes [07272]. 7 1 7 And Adonibezek [0137] said [0559], Threescore and ten [07657] kings [04428], having their thumbs [0931] [03027] and their great toes [07272] cut off [07112], gathered [03950] their meat under my table [07979]: as I have done [06213], so God [0430] hath requited [07999] me. And they brought [0935] him to Jerusalem [03389], and there he died [04191]. 7 1 8 Now the children [01121] of Judah [03063] had fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and had taken [03920] it, and smitten [05221] it with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and set [07971] the city [05892] on fire [0784]. 7 1 9 And afterward [0310] the children [01121] of Judah [03063] went down [03381] to fight [03898] against the Canaanites [03669], that dwelt [03427] in the mountain [02022], and in the south [05045], and in the valley [08219]. 7 1 10 And Judah [03063] went [03212] against the Canaanites [03669] that dwelt [03427] in Hebron [02275]: (now the name [08034] of Hebron [02275] before [06440] was Kirjatharba [07153]:) and they slew [05221] Sheshai [08344], and Ahiman [0289], and Talmai [08526]. 7 1 11 And from thence he went [03212] against the inhabitants [03427] of Debir [01688]: and the name [08034] of Debir [01688] before [06440] was Kirjathsepher [07158]: 7 1 12 And Caleb [03612] said [0559], He that smiteth [05221] Kirjathsepher [07158], and taketh [03920] it, to him will I give [05414] Achsah [05915] my daughter [01323] to wife [0802]. 7 1 13 And Othniel [06274] the son [01121] of Kenaz [07073], Caleb's [03612] younger [06996] brother [0251], took [03920] it: and he gave [05414] him Achsah [05915] his daughter [01323] to wife [0802]. 7 1 14 And it came to pass, when she came [0935] to him, that she moved [05496] him to ask [07592] of her father [01] a field [07704]: and she lighted [06795] from off her ass [02543]; and Caleb [03612] said [0559] unto her, What wilt thou? 7 1 15 And she said [0559] unto him, Give [03051] me a blessing [01293]: for thou hast given [05414] me a south [05045] land [0776]; give [05414] me also springs [01543] of water [04325]. And Caleb [03612] gave [05414] her the upper [05942] springs [01543] and the nether [08482] springs [01543]. 7 1 16 And the children [01121] of the Kenite [07017], Moses [04872]' father in law [02859], went up [05927] out of the city [05892] of palm trees [08558] [05899] with the children [01121] of Judah [03063] into the wilderness [04057] of Judah [03063], which lieth in the south [05045] of Arad [06166]; and they went [03212] and dwelt [03427] among [0854] the people [05971]. 7 1 17 And Judah [03063] went [03212] with Simeon [08095] his brother [0251], and they slew [05221] the Canaanites [03669] that inhabited [03427] Zephath [06857], and utterly destroyed [02763] it. And the name [08034] of the city [05892] was called [07121] Hormah [02767]. 7 1 18 Also Judah [03063] took [03920] Gaza [05804] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Askelon [0831] with the coast [01366] thereof, and Ekron [06138] with the coast [01366] thereof. 7 1 19 And the LORD [03068] was with Judah [03063]; and he drave out [03423] the inhabitants of the mountain [02022]; but could not [03808] drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of the valley [06010], because they had chariots [07393] of iron [01270]. 7 1 20 And they gave [05414] Hebron [02275] unto Caleb [03612], as Moses [04872] said [01696]: and he expelled [03423] thence the three [07969] sons [01121] of Anak [06061]. 7 1 21 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] did not drive out [03423] the Jebusites [02983] that inhabited [03427] Jerusalem [03389]; but the Jebusites [02983] dwell [03427] with the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] in Jerusalem [03389] unto this day [03117]. 7 1 22 And the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], they also went up [05927] against Bethel [01008]: and the LORD [03068] was with them. 7 1 23 And the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] sent to descry [08446] Bethel [01008]. (Now the name [08034] of the city [05892] before [06440] was Luz [03870].) 7 1 24 And the spies [08104] saw [07200] a man [0376] come forth [03318] out of the city [05892], and they said [0559] unto him, Shew [07200] us, we pray thee, the entrance [03996] into the city [05892], and we will shew [06213] thee mercy [02617]. 7 1 25 And when he shewed [07200] them the entrance [03996] into the city [05892], they smote [05221] the city [05892] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; but they let go [07971] the man [0376] and all his family [04940]. 7 1 26 And the man [0376] went [03212] into the land [0776] of the Hittites [02850], and built [01129] a city [05892], and called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Luz [03870]: which is the name [08034] thereof unto this day [03117]. 7 1 27 Neither did Manasseh [04519] drive out [03423] the inhabitants of Bethshean [01052] and her towns [01323], nor Taanach [08590] and her towns [01323], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Dor [01756] and her towns [01323], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Ibleam [02991] and her towns [01323], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Megiddo [04023] and her towns [01323]: but the Canaanites [03669] would [02974] dwell [03427] in that land [0776]. 7 1 28 And it came to pass, when Israel [03478] was strong [02388], that they put [07760] the Canaanites [03669] to tribute [04522], and did not utterly [03423] drive them out [03423]. 7 1 29 Neither did Ephraim [0669] drive out [03423] the Canaanites [03669] that dwelt [03427] in Gezer [01507]; but the Canaanites [03669] dwelt [03427] in Gezer [01507] among [07130] them. 7 1 30 Neither did Zebulun [02074] drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of Kitron [07003], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Nahalol [05096]; but the Canaanites [03669] dwelt [03427] among [07130] them, and became tributaries [04522]. 7 1 31 Neither did Asher [0836] drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of Accho [05910], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Zidon [06721], nor of Ahlab [0303], nor of Achzib [0392], nor of Helbah [02462], nor of Aphik [0663], nor of Rehob [07340]: 7 1 32 But the Asherites [0843] dwelt [03427] among [07130] the Canaanites [03669], the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]: for they did not drive them out [03423]. 7 1 33 Neither did Naphtali [05321] drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of Bethshemesh [01053], nor the inhabitants [03427] of Bethanath [01043]; but he dwelt [03427] among [07130] the Canaanites [03669], the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]: nevertheless the inhabitants [03427] of Bethshemesh [01053] and of Bethanath [01043] became tributaries [04522] unto them. 7 1 34 And the Amorites [0567] forced [03905] the children [01121] of Dan [01835] into the mountain [02022]: for they would not suffer [05414] them to come down [03381] to the valley [06010]: 7 1 35 But the Amorites [0567] would [02974] dwell [03427] in mount [02022] Heres [02776] in Aijalon [0357], and in Shaalbim [08169]: yet the hand [03027] of the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] prevailed [03513], so that they became tributaries [04522]. 7 1 36 And the coast [01366] of the Amorites [0567] was from the going up [04608] to Akrabbim [04610], from the rock [05553], and upward [04605]. 7 2 1 And an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] came up [05927] from Gilgal [01537] to Bochim [01066], and said [0559], I made you to go up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], and have brought [0935] you unto the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto your fathers [01]; and I said [0559], I will never [05769] break [06565] my covenant [01285] with you. 7 2 2 And ye shall make [03772] no league [01285] with the inhabitants [03427] of this land [0776]; ye shall throw down [05422] their altars [04196]: but ye have not obeyed [08085] my voice [06963]: why have ye done [06213] this? 7 2 3 Wherefore I also said [0559], I will not drive them out [01644] from before [06440] you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides [06654], and their gods [0430] shall be a snare [04170] unto you. 7 2 4 And it came to pass, when the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] spake [01696] these words [01697] unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], that the people [05971] lifted up [05375] their voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 7 2 5 And they called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Bochim [01066]: and they sacrificed [02076] there unto the LORD [03068]. 7 2 6 And when Joshua [03091] had let the people [05971] go [07971], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went [03212] every man [0376] unto his inheritance [05159] to possess [03423] the land [0776]. 7 2 7 And the people [05971] served [05647] the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of Joshua [03091], and all the days [03117] of the elders [02205] that outlived [0748] [03117] [0310] Joshua [03091], who had seen [07200] all the great [01419] works [04639] of the LORD [03068], that he did [06213] for Israel [03478]. 7 2 8 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], died [04191], being an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] years [08141] old [01121]. 7 2 9 And they buried [06912] him in the border [01366] of his inheritance [05159] in Timnathheres [08556], in the mount [02022] of Ephraim [0669], on the north side [06828] of the hill [02022] Gaash [01608]. 7 2 10 And also all that generation [01755] were gathered [0622] unto their fathers [01]: and there arose [06965] another [0312] generation [01755] after [0310] them, which knew [03045] not the LORD [03068], nor yet the works [04639] which he had done [06213] for Israel [03478]. 7 2 11 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baalim [01168]: 7 2 12 And they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], which brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and followed [03212] [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], of the gods [0430] of the people [05971] that were round about [05439] them, and bowed [07812] themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD [03068] to anger [03707]. 7 2 13 And they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baal [01168] and Ashtaroth [06252]. 7 2 14 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was hot [02734] against Israel [03478], and he delivered [05414] them into the hands [03027] of spoilers [08154] that spoiled [08155] them, and he sold [04376] them into the hands [03027] of their enemies [0341] round about [05439], so that they could [03201] not any longer [05750] stand [05975] before [06440] their enemies [0341]. 7 2 15 Whithersoever they went out [03318], the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against them for evil [07451], as the LORD [03068] had said [01696], and as the LORD [03068] had sworn [07650] unto them: and they were greatly [03966] distressed [03334]. 7 2 16 Nevertheless the LORD [03068] raised up [06965] judges [08199], which delivered [03467] them out of the hand [03027] of those that spoiled [08154] them. 7 2 17 And yet they would not hearken [08085] unto their judges [08199], but they went a whoring [02181] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], and bowed [07812] themselves unto them: they turned [05493] quickly [04118] out of the way [01870] which their fathers [01] walked in [01980], obeying [08085] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068]; but they did [06213] not so. 7 2 18 And when the LORD [03068] raised [06965] them up judges [08199], then the LORD [03068] was with the judge [08199], and delivered [03467] them out of the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341] all the days [03117] of the judge [08199]: for it repented [05162] the LORD [03068] because [06440] of their groanings [05009] by reason of them that oppressed [03905] them and vexed [01766] them. 7 2 19 And it came to pass, when the judge [08199] was dead [04194], that they returned [07725], and corrupted [07843] themselves more than their fathers [01], in following [03212] [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them, and to bow down [07812] unto them; they ceased [05307] not from their own doings [04611], nor from their stubborn [07186] way [01870]. 7 2 20 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was hot [02734] against Israel [03478]; and he said [0559], Because that this people [01471] hath transgressed [05674] my covenant [01285] which I commanded [06680] their fathers [01], and have not hearkened [08085] unto my voice [06963]; 7 2 21 I also will not henceforth [03254] drive out [03423] any [0376] from before [06440] them of the nations [01471] which Joshua [03091] left [05800] when he died [04191]: 7 2 22 That through them I may prove [05254] Israel [03478], whether they will keep [08104] the way [01870] of the LORD [03068] to walk [03212] therein, as their fathers [01] did keep [08104] it, or not. 7 2 23 Therefore the LORD [03068] left [03240] those nations [01471], without [01115] driving them out [03423] hastily [04118]; neither delivered [05414] he them into the hand [03027] of Joshua [03091]. 7 3 1 Now these are the nations [01471] which the LORD [03068] left [03240], to prove [05254] Israel [03478] by them, even as many of Israel as had not known [03045] all the wars [04421] of Canaan [03667]; 7 3 2 Only that [07535] the generations [01755] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] might know [03045], to teach [03925] them war [04421], at the least such as before [06440] knew [03045] nothing thereof; 7 3 3 Namely, five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430], and all the Canaanites [03669], and the Sidonians [06722], and the Hivites [02340] that dwelt [03427] in mount [02022] Lebanon [03844], from mount [02022] Baalhermon [01179] unto the entering in [0935] of Hamath [02574]. 7 3 4 And they were to prove [05254] Israel [03478] by them, to know [03045] whether they would hearken [08085] unto the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], which he commanded [06680] their fathers [01] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 7 3 5 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] among [07130] the Canaanites [03669], Hittites [02850], and Amorites [0567], and Perizzites [06522], and Hivites [02340], and Jebusites [02983]: 7 3 6 And they took [03947] their daughters [01323] to be their wives [0802], and gave [05414] their daughters [01323] to their sons [01121], and served [05647] their gods [0430]. 7 3 7 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and forgat [07911] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and served [05647] Baalim [01168] and the groves [0842]. 7 3 8 Therefore the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was hot [02734] against Israel [03478], and he sold [04376] them into the hand [03027] of Chushanrishathaim [03573] king [04428] of Mesopotamia [0763]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] served [05647] Chushanrishathaim [03573] eight [08083] years [08141]. 7 3 9 And when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], the LORD [03068] raised up [06965] a deliverer [03467] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who delivered [03467] them, even Othniel [06274] the son [01121] of Kenaz [07073], Caleb's [03612] younger [06996] brother [0251]. 7 3 10 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came upon him, and he judged [08199] Israel [03478], and went out [03318] to war [04421]: and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] Chushanrishathaim [03573] king [04428] of Mesopotamia [0763] into his hand [03027]; and his hand [03027] prevailed [05810] against Chushanrishathaim [03573]. 7 3 11 And the land [0776] had rest [08252] forty [0705] years [08141]. And Othniel [06274] the son [01121] of Kenaz [07073] died [04191]. 7 3 12 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] again [03254] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: and the LORD [03068] strengthened [02388] Eglon [05700] the king [04428] of Moab [04124] against Israel [03478], because they had done [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 7 3 13 And he gathered [0622] unto him the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] and Amalek [06002], and went [03212] and smote [05221] Israel [03478], and possessed [03423] the city [05892] of palm trees [08558] [05899]. 7 3 14 So the children [01121] of Israel [03478] served [05647] Eglon [05700] the king [04428] of Moab [04124] eighteen [08083] [06240] years [08141]. 7 3 15 But when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], the LORD [03068] raised them up [06965] a deliverer [03467], Ehud [0164] the son [01121] of Gera [01617], a Benjamite [01145], a man [0376] lefthanded [0334] [03225]: and by him [03027] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] a present [04503] unto Eglon [05700] the king [04428] of Moab [04124]. 7 3 16 But Ehud [0164] made [06213] him a dagger [02719] which had two [08147] edges [06366], of a cubit [01574] length [0753]; and he did gird [02296] it under his raiment [04055] upon his right [03225] thigh [03409]. 7 3 17 And he brought [07126] the present [04503] unto Eglon [05700] king [04428] of Moab [04124]: and Eglon [05700] was a very [03966] fat [01277] man [0376]. 7 3 18 And when he had made an end [03615] to offer [07126] the present [04503], he sent away [07971] the people [05971] that bare [05375] the present [04503]. 7 3 19 But he himself turned again [07725] from the quarries [06456] that were by Gilgal [01537], and said [0559], I have a secret [05643] errand [01697] unto thee, O king [04428]: who said [0559], Keep silence [02013]. And all that stood [05975] by him went out [03318] from him. 7 3 20 And Ehud [0164] came [0935] unto him; and he was sitting [03427] in a summer [04747] parlour [05944], which he had for himself alone. And Ehud [0164] said [0559], I have a message [01697] from God [0430] unto thee. And he arose [06965] out of his seat [03678]. 7 3 21 And Ehud [0164] put forth [07971] his left [08040] hand [03027], and took [03947] the dagger [02719] from his right [03225] thigh [03409], and thrust [08628] it into his belly [0990]: 7 3 22 And the haft [05325] also went in [0935] after [0310] the blade [03851]; and the fat [02459] closed [05462] upon [01157] the blade [03851], so that he could not draw [08025] the dagger [02719] out of his belly [0990]; and the dirt [06574] came out [03318]. 7 3 23 Then Ehud [0164] went forth [03318] through the porch [04528], and shut [05462] the doors [01817] of the parlour [05944] upon him, and locked [05274] them. 7 3 24 When he was gone out [03318], his servants [05650] came [0935]; and when they saw [07200] that, behold, the doors [01817] of the parlour [05944] were locked [05274], they said [0559], Surely he covereth [05526] his feet [07272] in his summer [04747] chamber [02315]. 7 3 25 And they tarried [02342] till they were ashamed [0954]: and, behold, he opened [06605] not the doors [01817] of the parlour [05944]; therefore they took [03947] a key [04668], and opened [06605] them: and, behold, their lord [0113] was fallen down [05307] dead [04191] on the earth [0776]. 7 3 26 And Ehud [0164] escaped [04422] while they tarried [04102], and passed beyond [05674] the quarries [06456], and escaped [04422] unto Seirath [08167]. 7 3 27 And it came to pass, when he was come [0935], that he blew [08628] a trumpet [07782] in the mountain [02022] of Ephraim [0669], and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went down [03381] with him from the mount [02022], and he before [06440] them. 7 3 28 And he said [0559] unto them, Follow [07291] after [0310] me: for the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] your enemies [0341] the Moabites [04124] into your hand [03027]. And they went down [03381] after [0310] him, and took [03920] the fords [04569] of Jordan [03383] toward Moab [04124], and suffered [05414] not a man [0376] to pass over [05674]. 7 3 29 And they slew [05221] of Moab [04124] at that time [06256] about ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376], all lusty [08082], and all men [0376] of valour [02428]; and there escaped [04422] not a man [0376]. 7 3 30 So Moab [04124] was subdued [03665] that day [03117] under the hand [03027] of Israel [03478]. And the land [0776] had rest [08252] fourscore [08084] years [08141]. 7 3 31 And after [0310] him was Shamgar [08044] the son [01121] of Anath [06067], which slew [05221] of the Philistines [06430] six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] with an ox [01241] goad [04451]: and he also delivered [03467] Israel [03478]. 7 4 1 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] again [03254] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], when Ehud [0164] was dead [04191]. 7 4 2 And the LORD [03068] sold [04376] them into the hand [03027] of Jabin [02985] king [04428] of Canaan [03667], that reigned [04427] in Hazor [02674]; the captain [08269] of whose host [06635] was Sisera [05516], which dwelt [03427] in Harosheth [02800] of the Gentiles [01471]. 7 4 3 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068]: for he had nine [08672] hundred [03967] chariots [07393] of iron [01270]; and twenty [06242] years [08141] he mightily [02394] oppressed [03905] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 7 4 4 And Deborah [01683], a prophetess [05031], the wife [0802] of Lapidoth [03941], she judged [08199] Israel [03478] at that time [06256]. 7 4 5 And she dwelt [03427] under the palm tree [08560] of Deborah [01683] between Ramah [07414] and Bethel [01008] in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came up [05927] to her for judgment [04941]. 7 4 6 And she sent [07971] and called [07121] Barak [01301] the son [01121] of Abinoam [042] out of Kedeshnaphtali [06943], and said [0559] unto him, Hath not the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] commanded [06680], saying, Go [03212] and draw [04900] toward mount [02022] Tabor [08396], and take [03947] with thee ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376] of the children [01121] of Naphtali [05321] and of the children [01121] of Zebulun [02074]? 7 4 7 And I will draw [04900] unto thee to the river [05158] Kishon [07028] Sisera [05516], the captain [08269] of Jabin's [02985] army [06635], with his chariots [07393] and his multitude [01995]; and I will deliver [05414] him into thine hand [03027]. 7 4 8 And Barak [01301] said [0559] unto her, If thou wilt go [03212] with me, then I will go [01980]: but if thou wilt not go [03212] with me, then I will not go [03212]. 7 4 9 And she said [0559], I will surely [01980] go [03212] with thee: notwithstanding [0657] the journey [01870] that thou takest [01980] shall not be for thine honour [08597]; for the LORD [03068] shall sell [04376] Sisera [05516] into the hand [03027] of a woman [0802]. And Deborah [01683] arose [06965], and went [03212] with Barak [01301] to Kedesh [06943]. 7 4 10 And Barak [01301] called [02199] Zebulun [02074] and Naphtali [05321] to Kedesh [06943]; and he went up [05927] with ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376] at his feet [07272]: and Deborah [01683] went up [05927] with him. 7 4 11 Now Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017], which was of the children [01121] of Hobab [02246] the father in law [02859] of Moses [04872], had severed [06504] himself from the Kenites [07017], and pitched [05186] his tent [0168] unto the plain [0436] of Zaanaim [06815], which is by Kedesh [06943]. 7 4 12 And they shewed [05046] Sisera [05516] that Barak [01301] the son [01121] of Abinoam [042] was gone up [05927] to mount [02022] Tabor [08396]. 7 4 13 And Sisera [05516] gathered together [02199] all his chariots [07393], even nine [08672] hundred [03967] chariots [07393] of iron [01270], and all the people [05971] that were with him, from Harosheth [02800] of the Gentiles [01471] unto the river [05158] of Kishon [07028]. 7 4 14 And Deborah [01683] said [0559] unto Barak [01301], Up [06965]; for this is the day [03117] in which the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] Sisera [05516] into thine hand [03027]: is not the LORD [03068] gone out [03318] before [06440] thee? So Barak [01301] went down [03381] from mount [02022] Tabor [08396], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376] after [0310] him. 7 4 15 And the LORD [03068] discomfited [02000] Sisera [05516], and all his chariots [07393], and all his host [04264], with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719] before [06440] Barak [01301]; so that Sisera [05516] lighted down [03381] off his chariot [04818], and fled away [05127] on his feet [07272]. 7 4 16 But Barak [01301] pursued [07291] after [0310] the chariots [07393], and after the host [04264], unto Harosheth [02800] of the Gentiles [01471]: and all the host [04264] of Sisera [05516] fell [05307] upon the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and there was not a man [0259] left [07604]. 7 4 17 Howbeit Sisera [05516] fled away [05127] on his feet [07272] to the tent [0168] of Jael [03278] the wife [0802] of Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017]: for there was peace [07965] between Jabin [02985] the king [04428] of Hazor [02674] and the house [01004] of Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017]. 7 4 18 And Jael [03278] went out [03318] to meet [07125] Sisera [05516], and said [0559] unto him, Turn in [05493], my lord [0113], turn in [05493] to me; fear [03372] not. And when he had turned in [05493] unto her into the tent [0168], she covered [03680] him with a mantle [08063]. 7 4 19 And he said [0559] unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little [04592] water [04325] to drink [08248]; for I am thirsty [06770]. And she opened [06605] a bottle [04997] of milk [02461], and gave him drink [08248], and covered [03680] him. 7 4 20 Again he said [0559] unto her, Stand in [05975] the door [06607] of the tent [0168], and it shall be, when any man [0376] doth come [0935] and enquire [07592] of thee, and say [0559], Is there [03426] any man [0376] here [03426]? that thou shalt say [0559], No. 7 4 21 Then Jael [03278] Heber's [02268] wife [0802] took [03947] a nail [03489] of the tent [0168], and took [07760] an hammer [04718] in her hand [03027], and went [0935] softly [03814] unto him, and smote [08628] the nail [03489] into his temples [07541], and fastened [06795] it into the ground [0776]: for he was fast asleep [07290] and weary [05774]. So he died [04191]. 7 4 22 And, behold, as Barak [01301] pursued [07291] Sisera [05516], Jael [03278] came out [03318] to meet [07125] him, and said [0559] unto him, Come [03212], and I will shew [07200] thee the man [0376] whom thou seekest [01245]. And when he came [0935] into her tent, behold, Sisera [05516] lay [05307] dead [04191], and the nail [03489] was in his temples [07541]. 7 4 23 So God [0430] subdued [03665] on that day [03117] Jabin [02985] the king [04428] of Canaan [03667] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 7 4 24 And the hand [03027] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] prospered [03212] [01980], and prevailed [07186] against Jabin [02985] the king [04428] of Canaan [03667], until they had destroyed [03772] Jabin [02985] king [04428] of Canaan [03667]. 7 5 1 Then sang [07891] Deborah [01683] and Barak [01301] the son [01121] of Abinoam [042] on that day [03117], saying [0559], 7 5 2 Praise [01288] ye the LORD [03068] for the avenging [06544] [06546] of Israel [03478], when the people [05971] willingly offered [05068] themselves. 7 5 3 Hear [08085], O ye kings [04428]; give ear [0238], O ye princes [07336]; I, even I, will sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068]; I will sing [02167] praise to the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 7 5 4 LORD [03068], when thou wentest out [03318] of Seir [08165], when thou marchedst out [06805] of the field [07704] of Edom [0123], the earth [0776] trembled [07493], and the heavens [08064] dropped [05197], the clouds [05645] also dropped [05197] water [04325]. 7 5 5 The mountains [02022] melted [05140] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], even that Sinai [05514] from before [06440] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 7 5 6 In the days [03117] of Shamgar [08044] the son [01121] of Anath [06067], in the days [03117] of Jael [03278], the highways [0734] were unoccupied [02308], and the travellers [01980] walked [03212] through byways [06128] [05410]. 7 5 7 The inhabitants of the villages [06520] ceased [02308], they ceased [02308] in Israel [03478], until that I Deborah [01683] arose [06965], that I arose [06965] a mother [0517] in Israel [03478]. 7 5 8 They chose [0977] new [02319] gods [0430]; then was war [03901] in the gates [08179]: was there a shield [04043] or spear [07420] seen [07200] among forty [0705] thousand [0505] in Israel [03478]? 7 5 9 My heart [03820] is toward the governors [02710] of Israel [03478], that offered themselves willingly [05068] among the people [05971]. Bless [01288] ye the LORD [03068]. 7 5 10 Speak [07878], ye that ride [07392] on white [06715] asses [0860], ye that sit [03427] in judgment [04055], and walk [01980] by the way [01870]. 7 5 11 They that are delivered from the noise [06963] of archers [02686] in the places of drawing water [04857], there shall they rehearse [08567] the righteous acts [06666] of the LORD [03068], even the righteous acts [06666] toward the inhabitants of his villages [06520] in Israel [03478]: then shall the people [05971] of the LORD [03068] go down [03381] to the gates [08179]. 7 5 12 Awake [05782], awake [05782], Deborah [01683]: awake [05782], awake [05782], utter [01696] a song [07892]: arise [06965], Barak [01301], and lead thy captivity [07628] captive [07617], thou son [01121] of Abinoam [042]. 7 5 13 Then he made him that remaineth [08300] have dominion [07287] over the nobles [0117] among the people [05971]: the LORD [03068] made me have dominion [07287] over the mighty [01368]. 7 5 14 Out of Ephraim [0669] was there a root [08328] of them against Amalek [06002]; after [0310] thee, Benjamin [01144], among thy people [05971]; out of Machir [04353] came down [03381] governors [02710], and out of Zebulun [02074] they that handle [04900] the pen [07626] of the writer [05608]. 7 5 15 And the princes [08269] of Issachar [03485] were with Deborah [01683]; even Issachar [03485], and also Barak [01301]: he was sent [07971] on foot [07272] into the valley [06010]. For the divisions [06390] of Reuben [07205] there were great [01419] thoughts [02711] of heart [03820]. 7 5 16 Why abodest [03427] thou among [0996] the sheepfolds [04942], to hear [08085] the bleatings [08292] of the flocks [05739]? For the divisions [06390] of Reuben [07205] there were great [01419] searchings [02714] of heart [03820]. 7 5 17 Gilead [01568] abode [07931] beyond [05676] Jordan [03383]: and why did Dan [01835] remain [01481] in ships [0591]? Asher [0836] continued [03427] on the sea [03220] shore [02348], and abode [07931] in his breaches [04664]. 7 5 18 Zebulun [02074] and Naphtali [05321] were a people [05971] that jeoparded [02778] their lives [05315] unto the death [04191] in the high places [04791] of the field [07704]. 7 5 19 The kings [04428] came [0935] and fought [03898], then fought [03898] the kings [04428] of Canaan [03667] in Taanach [08590] by the waters [04325] of Megiddo [04023]; they took [03947] no gain [01215] of money [03701]. 7 5 20 They fought [03898] from heaven [08064]; the stars [03556] in their courses [04546] fought [03898] against Sisera [05516]. 7 5 21 The river [05158] of Kishon [07028] swept them away [01640], that ancient [06917] river [05158], the river [05158] Kishon [07028]. O my soul [05315], thou hast trodden down [01869] strength [05797]. 7 5 22 Then were the horsehoofs [06119] [05483] broken [01986] by the means of the pransings [01726], the pransings [01726] of their mighty ones [047]. 7 5 23 Curse [0779] ye Meroz [04789], said [0559] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], curse [0779] ye bitterly [0779] the inhabitants [03427] thereof; because they came [0935] not to the help [05833] of the LORD [03068], to the help [05833] of the LORD [03068] against the mighty [01368]. 7 5 24 Blessed [01288] above women [0802] shall Jael [03278] the wife [0802] of Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017] be, blessed [01288] shall she be above women [0802] in the tent [0168]. 7 5 25 He asked [07592] water [04325], and she gave [05414] him milk [02461]; she brought forth [07126] butter [02529] in a lordly [0117] dish [05602]. 7 5 26 She put [07971] her hand [03027] to the nail [03489], and her right hand [03225] to the workmen's [06001] hammer [01989]; and with the hammer she smote [01986] Sisera [05516], she smote off [04277] his head [07218], when she had pierced [04272] and stricken through [02498] his temples [07541]. 7 5 27 At her feet [07272] he bowed [03766], he fell [05307], he lay down [07901]: at her feet [07272] he bowed [03766], he fell [05307]: where [0834] he bowed [03766], there he fell down [05307] dead [07703]. 7 5 28 The mother [0517] of Sisera [05516] looked [08259] out at a window [02474], and cried [02980] through the lattice [0822], Why is his chariot [07393] so long [0954] in coming [0935]? why tarry [0309] the wheels [06471] of his chariots [04818]? 7 5 29 Her wise [02450] ladies [08282] answered [06030] her, yea, she returned [07725] answer [0561] to herself, 7 5 30 Have they not sped [04672]? have they not divided [02505] the prey [07998]; to every [07218] man [01397] a damsel [07356] or two [07361]; to Sisera [05516] a prey [07998] of divers colours [06648], a prey [07998] of divers colours [06648] of needlework [07553], of divers colours [06648] of needlework on both sides [07553], meet for the necks [06677] of them that take the spoil [07998]? 7 5 31 So let all thine enemies [0341] perish [06], O LORD [03068]: but let them that love [0157] him be as the sun [08121] when he goeth forth [03318] in his might [01369]. And the land [0776] had rest [08252] forty [0705] years [08141]. 7 6 1 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Midian [04080] seven [07651] years [08141]. 7 6 2 And the hand [03027] of Midian [04080] prevailed [05810] against Israel [03478]: and because [06440] of the Midianites [04080] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] made [06213] them the dens [04492] which are in the mountains [02022], and caves [04631], and strong holds [04679]. 7 6 3 And so it was, when Israel [03478] had sown [02232], that the Midianites [04080] came up [05927], and the Amalekites [06002], and the children [01121] of the east [06924], even they came up [05927] against them; 7 6 4 And they encamped [02583] against them, and destroyed [07843] the increase [02981] of the earth [0776], till thou come [0935] unto Gaza [05804], and left [07604] no sustenance [04241] for Israel [03478], neither sheep [07716], nor ox [07794], nor ass [02543]. 7 6 5 For they came up [05927] with their cattle [04735] and their tents [0168], and they came [0935] [0935] as [01767] grasshoppers [0697] for multitude [07230]; for both they and their camels [01581] were without number [04557]: and they entered [0935] into the land [0776] to destroy [07843] it. 7 6 6 And Israel [03478] was greatly [03966] impoverished [01809] because [06440] of the Midianites [04080]; and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068]. 7 6 7 And it came to pass, when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068] because [0182] of the Midianites [04080], 7 6 8 That the LORD [03068] sent [07971] a prophet [0376] [05030] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I brought you up [05927] from Egypt [04714], and brought you forth [03318] out of the house [01004] of bondage [05650]; 7 6 9 And I delivered [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and out of the hand [03027] of all that oppressed [03905] you, and drave them out [01644] from before [06440] you, and gave [05414] you their land [0776]; 7 6 10 And I said [0559] unto you, I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; fear [03372] not the gods [0430] of the Amorites [0567], in whose land [0776] ye dwell [03427]: but ye have not obeyed [08085] my voice [06963]. 7 6 11 And there came [0935] an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], and sat [03427] under an oak [0424] which was in Ophrah [06084], that pertained unto Joash [03101] the Abiezrite [033]: and his son [01121] Gideon [01439] threshed [02251] wheat [02406] by the winepress [01660], to hide [05127] it from [06440] the Midianites [04080]. 7 6 12 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] is with thee, thou mighty [01368] man of valour [02428]. 7 6 13 And Gideon [01439] said [0559] unto him, Oh [0994] my Lord [0113], if [03426] the LORD [03068] be with us, why then is all this befallen [04672] us? and where be all his miracles [06381] which our fathers [01] told [05608] us of, saying [0559], Did not the LORD [03068] bring us up [05927] from Egypt [04714]? but now the LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05203] us, and delivered [05414] us into the hands [03709] of the Midianites [04080]. 7 6 14 And the LORD [03068] looked [06437] upon him, and said [0559], Go [03212] in this thy might [03581], and thou shalt save [03467] Israel [03478] from the hand [03709] of the Midianites [04080]: have not I sent [07971] thee? 7 6 15 And he said [0559] unto him, Oh [0994] my Lord [0136], wherewith [04100] shall I save [03467] Israel [03478]? behold, my family [0504] [0505] is poor [01800] in Manasseh [04519], and I am the least [06810] in my father's [01] house [01004]. 7 6 16 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite [05221] the Midianites [04080] as one [0259] man [0376]. 7 6 17 And he said [0559] unto him, If now I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], then shew [06213] me a sign [0226] that thou talkest [01696] with me. 7 6 18 Depart [04185] not hence, I pray thee, until I come [0935] unto thee, and bring forth [03318] my present [04503], and set [03240] it before [06440] thee. And he said [0559], I will tarry [03427] until thou come again [07725]. 7 6 19 And Gideon [01439] went in [0935], and made ready [06213] a kid [05795] [01423], and unleavened cakes [04682] of an ephah [0374] of flour [07058]: the flesh [01320] he put [07760] in a basket [05536], and he put [07760] the broth [04839] in a pot [06517], and brought it out [03318] unto him under the oak [0424], and presented [05066] it. 7 6 20 And the angel [04397] of God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Take [03947] the flesh [01320] and the unleavened cakes [04682], and lay [03240] them upon this [01975] rock [05553], and pour out [08210] the broth [04839]. And he did [06213] so. 7 6 21 Then the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] put forth [07971] the end [07097] of the staff [04938] that was in his hand [03027], and touched [05060] the flesh [01320] and the unleavened cakes [04682]; and there rose up [05927] fire [0784] out of the rock [06697], and consumed [0398] the flesh [01320] and the unleavened cakes [04682]. Then the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] departed [01980] out of his sight [05869]. 7 6 22 And when Gideon [01439] perceived [07200] that he was an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], Gideon [01439] said [0559], Alas [0162], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! for because [03651] I have seen [07200] an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] face [06440] to face [06440]. 7 6 23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Peace [07965] be unto thee; fear [03372] not: thou shalt not die [04191]. 7 6 24 Then Gideon [01439] built [01129] an altar [04196] there unto the LORD [03068], and called [07121] it Jehovahshalom [03073]: unto this day [03117] it is yet in Ophrah [06084] of the Abiezrites [033]. 7 6 25 And it came to pass the same night [03915], that the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Take [03947] thy father's [01] young [06499] bullock [07794], even the second [08145] bullock [06499] of seven [07651] years old [08141], and throw down [02040] the altar [04196] of Baal [01168] that thy father [01] hath, and cut down [03772] the grove [0842] that is by it: 7 6 26 And build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] upon the top [07218] of this rock [04581], in the ordered place [04634], and take [03947] the second [08145] bullock [06499], and offer [05927] a burnt sacrifice [05930] with the wood [06086] of the grove [0842] which thou shalt cut down [03772]. 7 6 27 Then Gideon [01439] took [03947] ten [06235] men [0582] of his servants [05650], and did [06213] as the LORD [03068] had said [01696] unto him: and so it was, because he feared [03372] his father's [01] household [01004], and the men [0582] of the city [05892], that he could not do [06213] it by day [03119], that he did [06213] it by night [03915]. 7 6 28 And when the men [0582] of the city [05892] arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], behold, the altar [04196] of Baal [01168] was cast down [05422], and the grove [0842] was cut down [03772] that was by it, and the second [08145] bullock [06499] was offered [05927] upon the altar [04196] that was built [01129]. 7 6 29 And they said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], Who hath done [06213] this thing [01697]? And when they enquired [01875] and asked [01245], they said [0559], Gideon [01439] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] hath done [06213] this thing [01697]. 7 6 30 Then the men [0582] of the city [05892] said [0559] unto Joash [03101], Bring out [03318] thy son [01121], that he may die [04191]: because he hath cast down [05422] the altar [04196] of Baal [01168], and because he hath cut down [03772] the grove [0842] that was by it. 7 6 31 And Joash [03101] said [0559] unto all that stood [05975] against him, Will ye plead [07378] for Baal [01168]? will ye save [03467] him? he that will plead [07378] for him, let him be put to death [04191] whilst it is yet morning [01242]: if he be a god [0430], let him plead [07378] for himself, because one hath cast down [05422] his altar [04196]. 7 6 32 Therefore on that day [03117] he called [07121] him Jerubbaal [03378], saying [0559], Let Baal [01168] plead [07378] against him, because he hath thrown down [05422] his altar [04196]. 7 6 33 Then all the Midianites [04080] and the Amalekites [06002] and the children [01121] of the east [06924] were gathered [0622] together [03162], and went over [05674], and pitched [02583] in the valley [06010] of Jezreel [03157]. 7 6 34 But the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came [03847] upon Gideon [01439], and he blew [08628] a trumpet [07782]; and Abiezer [044] was gathered [02199] after [0310] him. 7 6 35 And he sent [07971] messengers [04397] throughout all Manasseh [04519]; who also was gathered [02199] after [0310] him: and he sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto Asher [0836], and unto Zebulun [02074], and unto Naphtali [05321]; and they came up [05927] to meet [07125] them. 7 6 36 And Gideon [01439] said [0559] unto God [0430], If thou wilt [03426] save [03467] Israel [03478] by mine hand [03027], as thou hast said [01696], 7 6 37 Behold, I will put [03322] a fleece [01492] of wool [06785] in the floor [01637]; and if the dew [02919] be on the fleece [01492] only, and it be dry [02721] upon all the earth [0776] beside, then shall I know [03045] that thou wilt save [03467] Israel [03478] by mine hand [03027], as thou hast said [01696]. 7 6 38 And it was so: for he rose up early [07925] on the morrow [04283], and thrust [02115] the fleece [01492] together [02115], and wringed [04680] the dew [02919] out of the fleece [01492], a bowl [05602] full [04393] of water [04325]. 7 6 39 And Gideon [01439] said [0559] unto God [0430], Let not thine anger [0639] be hot [02734] against me, and I will speak [01696] but this once [06471]: let me prove [05254], I pray thee, but this once [06471] with the fleece [01492]; let it now be dry [02721] only upon the fleece [01492], and upon all the ground [0776] let there be dew [02919]. 7 6 40 And God [0430] did [06213] so that night [03915]: for it was dry [02721] upon the fleece [01492] only, and there was dew [02919] on all the ground [0776]. 7 7 1 Then Jerubbaal [03378], who is Gideon [01439], and all the people [05971] that were with him, rose up early [07925], and pitched [02583] beside the well of Harod [05878]: so that the host [04264] of the Midianites [04080] were on the north side [06828] of them, by the hill [01389] of Moreh [04176], in the valley [06010]. 7 7 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Gideon [01439], The people [05971] that are with thee are too many [07227] for me to give [05414] the Midianites [04080] into their hands [03027], lest Israel [03478] vaunt [06286] themselves against me, saying [0559], Mine own hand [03027] hath saved [03467] me. 7 7 3 Now therefore go to [04994], proclaim [07121] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], saying [0559], Whosoever is fearful [03373] and afraid [02730], let him return [07725] and depart early [06852] from mount [02022] Gilead [01568]. And there returned [07725] of the people [05971] twenty [06242] and two [08147] thousand [0505]; and there remained [07604] ten [06235] thousand [0505]. 7 7 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Gideon [01439], The people [05971] are yet too many [07227]; bring them down [03381] unto the water [04325], and I will try [06884] them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say [0559] unto thee, This shall go [03212] with thee, the same shall go [03212] with thee; and of whomsoever I say [0559] unto thee, This shall not go [03212] with thee, the same shall not go [03212]. 7 7 5 So he brought down [03381] the people [05971] unto the water [04325]: and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Gideon [01439], Every one that lappeth [03952] of the water [04325] with his tongue [03956], as a dog [03611] lappeth [03952], him shalt thou set [03322] by himself; likewise every one that boweth down [03766] upon his knees [01290] to drink [08354]. 7 7 6 And the number [04557] of them that lapped [03952], putting their hand [03027] to their mouth [06310], were three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376]: but all the rest [03499] of the people [05971] bowed down [03766] upon their knees [01290] to drink [08354] water [04325]. 7 7 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Gideon [01439], By the three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376] that lapped [03952] will I save [03467] you, and deliver [05414] the Midianites [04080] into thine hand [03027]: and let all the other people [05971] go [03212] every man [0376] unto his place [04725]. 7 7 8 So the people [05971] took [03947] victuals [06720] in their hand [03027], and their trumpets [07782]: and he sent [07971] all [0376] the rest of Israel [03478] every man [0376] unto his tent [0168], and retained [02388] those three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376]: and the host [04264] of Midian [04080] was beneath him in the valley [06010]. 7 7 9 And it came to pass the same night [03915], that the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Arise [06965], get thee down [03381] unto the host [04264]; for I have delivered [05414] it into thine hand [03027]. 7 7 10 But if thou fear [03373] to go down [03381], go [03381] thou with Phurah [06513] thy servant [05288] down [03381] to the host [04264]: 7 7 11 And thou shalt hear [08085] what they say [01696]; and afterward [0310] shall thine hands [03027] be strengthened [02388] to go down [03381] unto the host [04264]. Then went he down [03381] with Phurah [06513] his servant [05288] unto the outside [07097] of the armed men [02571] that were in the host [04264]. 7 7 12 And the Midianites [04080] and the Amalekites [06002] and all the children [01121] of the east [06924] lay [05307] along in the valley [06010] like grasshoppers [0697] for multitude [07230]; and their camels [01581] were without number [04557], as the sand [02344] by the sea [03220] side [08193] for multitude [07230]. 7 7 13 And when Gideon [01439] was come [0935], behold, there was a man [0376] that told [05608] a dream [02472] unto his fellow [07453], and said [0559], Behold, I dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and, lo, a cake [06742] [06742] of barley [08184] bread [03899] tumbled [02015] into the host [04264] of Midian [04080], and came [0935] unto a tent [0168], and smote [05221] it that it fell [05307], and overturned [02015] [04605] it, that the tent [0168] lay along [05307]. 7 7 14 And his fellow [07453] answered [06030] and said [0559], This is nothing else save the sword [02719] of Gideon [01439] the son [01121] of Joash [03101], a man [0376] of Israel [03478]: for into his hand [03027] hath God [0430] delivered [05414] Midian [04080], and all the host [04264]. 7 7 15 And it was so, when Gideon [01439] heard [08085] the telling [04557] of the dream [02472], and the interpretation [07667] thereof, that he worshipped [07812], and returned [07725] into the host [04264] of Israel [03478], and said [0559], Arise [06965]; for the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] into your hand [03027] the host [04264] of Midian [04080]. 7 7 16 And he divided [02673] the three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376] into three [07969] companies [07218], and he put [05414] a trumpet [07782] in every man's hand [03027], with empty [07386] pitchers [03537], and lamps [03940] within [08432] the pitchers [03537]. 7 7 17 And he said [0559] unto them, Look [07200] on me, and do [06213] likewise: and, behold, when I come [0935] to the outside [07097] of the camp [04264], it shall be that, as I do [06213], so shall ye do [06213]. 7 7 18 When I blow [08628] with a trumpet [07782], I and all that are with me, then blow [08628] ye the trumpets [07782] also on every side [05439] of all the camp [04264], and say [0559], The sword of the LORD [03068], and of Gideon [01439]. 7 7 19 So Gideon [01439], and the hundred [03967] men [0376] that were with him, came [0935] unto the outside [07097] of the camp [04264] in the beginning [07218] of the middle [08484] watch [0821]; and they had but [0389] newly [06965] set [06965] the watch [08104]: and they blew [08628] the trumpets [07782], and brake [05310] the pitchers [03537] that were in their hands [03027]. 7 7 20 And the three [07969] companies [07218] blew [08628] the trumpets [07782], and brake [07665] the pitchers [03537], and held [02388] the lamps [03940] in their left [08040] hands [03027], and the trumpets [07782] in their right [03225] hands [03027] to blow [08628] withal: and they cried [07121], The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068], and of Gideon [01439]. 7 7 21 And they stood [05975] every man [0376] in his place round about [05439] the camp [04264]: and all the host [04264] ran [07323], and cried [07321], and fled [05127] [05127]. 7 7 22 And the three [07969] hundred [03967] blew [08628] the trumpets [07782], and the LORD [03068] set [07760] every man's [0376] sword [02719] against his fellow [07453], even throughout all the host [04264]: and the host [04264] fled [05127] to Bethshittah [01029] in Zererath [06888], and to the border [08193] of Abelmeholah [065], unto Tabbath [02888]. 7 7 23 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] gathered themselves together [06817] out of Naphtali [05321], and out of Asher [0836], and out of all Manasseh [04519], and pursued [07291] after [0310] the Midianites [04080]. 7 7 24 And Gideon [01439] sent [07971] messengers [04397] throughout all mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], saying [0559], Come down [03381] against [07125] the Midianites [04080], and take [03920] before them the waters [04325] unto Bethbarah [01012] and Jordan [03383]. Then all the men [0376] of Ephraim [0669] gathered themselves together [06817], and took [03920] the waters [04325] unto Bethbarah [01012] and Jordan [03383]. 7 7 25 And they took [03920] two [08147] princes [08269] of the Midianites [04080], Oreb [06159] and Zeeb [02062]; and they slew [02026] Oreb [06159] upon the rock [06697] Oreb [06159], and Zeeb [02062] they slew [02026] at the winepress [03342] of Zeeb [02062], and pursued [07291] Midian [04080], and brought [0935] the heads [07218] of Oreb [06159] and Zeeb [02062] to Gideon [01439] on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383]. 7 8 1 And the men [0376] of Ephraim [0669] said [0559] unto him, Why hast thou [04100] served [06213] us thus [01697], that thou calledst [07121] us not, when thou wentest [01980] to fight [03898] with the Midianites [04080]? And they did chide [07378] with him sharply [02394]. 7 8 2 And he said [0559] unto them, What have I done [06213] now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning [05955] of the grapes of Ephraim [0669] better [02896] than the vintage [01210] of Abiezer [044]? 7 8 3 God [0430] hath delivered [05414] into your hands [03027] the princes [08269] of Midian [04080], Oreb [06159] and Zeeb [02062]: and what was I able [03201] to do [06213] in comparison of you? Then their anger [07307] was abated [07503] toward him, when he had said [01697] that [01696]. 7 8 4 And Gideon [01439] came [0935] to Jordan [03383], and passed over [05674], he, and the three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376] that were with him, faint [05889], yet pursuing [07291] them. 7 8 5 And he said [0559] unto the men [0582] of Succoth [05523], Give [05414], I pray you, loaves [03603] of bread [03899] unto the people [05971] that follow [07272] me; for they be faint [05889], and I am pursuing [07291] after [0310] Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759], kings [04428] of Midian [04080]. 7 8 6 And the princes [08269] of Succoth [05523] said [0559], Are the hands [03709] of Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] now in thine hand [03027], that we should give [05414] bread [03899] unto thine army [06635]? 7 8 7 And Gideon [01439] said [0559], Therefore when the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] into mine hand [03027], then I will tear [01758] your flesh [01320] with the thorns [06975] of the wilderness [04057] and with briers [01303]. 7 8 8 And he went up [05927] thence to Penuel [06439], and spake [01696] unto them likewise [02063]: and the men [0582] of Penuel [06439] answered [06030] him as the men [0582] of Succoth [05523] had answered [06030] him. 7 8 9 And he spake [0559] also unto the men [0582] of Penuel [06439], saying [0559], When I come again [07725] in peace [07965], I will break down [05422] this tower [04026]. 7 8 10 Now Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] were in Karkor [07174], and their hosts [04264] with them, about fifteen [02568] [06240] thousand [0505] men, all that were left [03498] of all the hosts [04264] of the children [01121] of the east [06924]: for there fell [05307] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] sword [02719]. 7 8 11 And Gideon [01439] went up [05927] by the way [01870] of them that dwelt [07931] in tents [0168] on the east [06924] of Nobah [05025] and Jogbehah [03011], and smote [05221] the host [04264]: for the host [04264] was secure [0983]. 7 8 12 And when Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] fled [05127], he pursued [07291] after [0310] them, and took [03920] the two [08147] kings [04428] of Midian [04080], Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759], and discomfited [02729] all the host [04264]. 7 8 13 And Gideon [01439] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] returned [07725] from battle [04421] before [04608] the sun [02775] was up, 7 8 14 And caught [03920] a young man [05288] of the men [0582] of Succoth [05523], and enquired [07592] of him: and he described [03789] unto him the princes [08269] of Succoth [05523], and the elders [02205] thereof, even threescore and seventeen [07657] [07651] men [0376]. 7 8 15 And he came [0935] unto the men [0582] of Succoth [05523], and said [0559], Behold Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759], with whom ye did upbraid [02778] me, saying [0559], Are the hands [03709] of Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] now in thine hand [03027], that we should give [05414] bread [03899] unto thy men [0582] that are weary [03287]? 7 8 16 And he took [03947] the elders [02205] of the city [05892], and thorns [06975] of the wilderness [04057] and briers [01303], and with them he taught [03045] the men [0582] of Succoth [05523]. 7 8 17 And he beat down [05422] the tower [04026] of Penuel [06439], and slew [02026] the men [0582] of the city [05892]. 7 8 18 Then said [0559] he unto Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759], What [0375] manner of men [0582] were they whom ye slew [02026] at Tabor [08396]? And they answered [0559], As thou [03644] art, so were they; each one [0259] resembled [08389] the children [01121] of a king [04428]. 7 8 19 And he said [0559], They were my brethren [0251], even the sons [01121] of my mother [0517]: as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], if [03863] ye had saved them alive [02421], I would not slay [02026] you. 7 8 20 And he said [0559] unto Jether [03500] his firstborn [01060], Up [06965], and slay [02026] them. But the youth [05288] drew [08025] not his sword [02719]: for he feared [03372], because he was yet a youth [05288]. 7 8 21 Then Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759] said [0559], Rise [06965] thou, and fall [06293] upon us: for as the man [0376] is, so is his strength [01369]. And Gideon [01439] arose [06965], and slew [02026] Zebah [02078] and Zalmunna [06759], and took away [03947] the ornaments [07720] that were on their camels [01581]' necks [06677]. 7 8 22 Then the men [0376] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Gideon [01439], Rule [04910] thou over us, both thou, and thy son [01121], and thy son's [01121] son [01121] also: for thou hast delivered [03467] us from the hand [03027] of Midian [04080]. 7 8 23 And Gideon [01439] said [0559] unto them, I will not rule [04910] over you, neither shall my son [01121] rule [04910] over you: the LORD [03068] shall rule [04910] over you. 7 8 24 And Gideon [01439] said [0559] unto them, I would desire [07592] a request [07596] of you, that ye would give [05414] me every man [0376] the earrings [05141] of his prey [07998]. (For they had golden [02091] earrings [05141], because they were Ishmaelites [03459].) 7 8 25 And they answered [0559], We will willingly [05414] give [05414] them. And they spread [06566] a garment [08071], and did cast [07993] therein every man [0376] the earrings [05141] of his prey [07998]. 7 8 26 And the weight [04948] of the golden [02091] earrings [05141] that he requested [07592] was a thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967] shekels of gold [02091]; beside ornaments [07720], and collars [05188], and purple [0713] raiment [0899] that was on the kings [04428] of Midian [04080], and beside the chains [06060] that were about their camels [01581]' necks [06677]. 7 8 27 And Gideon [01439] made [06213] an ephod [0646] thereof, and put [03322] it in his city [05892], even in Ophrah [06084]: and all Israel [03478] went thither a whoring [02181] after [0310] it: which thing became a snare [04170] unto Gideon [01439], and to his house [01004]. 7 8 28 Thus was Midian [04080] subdued [03665] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], so that they lifted up [05375] their heads [07218] no more [03254]. And the country [0776] was in quietness [08252] forty [0705] years [08141] in the days [03117] of Gideon [01439]. 7 8 29 And Jerubbaal [03378] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] went [03212] and dwelt [03427] in his own house [01004]. 7 8 30 And Gideon [01439] had threescore and ten [07657] sons [01121] of his body [03409] begotten [03318]: for he had many [07227] wives [0802]. 7 8 31 And his concubine [06370] that was in Shechem [07927], she also bare [03205] him a son [01121], whose name [08034] he called [07760] Abimelech [040]. 7 8 32 And Gideon [01439] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] died [04191] in a good [02896] old age [07872], and was buried [06912] in the sepulchre [06913] of Joash [03101] his father [01], in Ophrah [06084] of the Abiezrites [033]. 7 8 33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon [01439] was dead [04191], that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] turned again [07725], and went a whoring [02181] after [0310] Baalim [01168], and made [07760] Baalberith [01170] their god [0430]. 7 8 34 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] remembered [02142] not the LORD [03068] their God [0430], who had delivered [05337] them out of the hands [03027] of all their enemies [0341] on every side [05439]: 7 8 35 Neither shewed [06213] they kindness [02617] to the house [01004] of Jerubbaal [03378], namely, Gideon [01439], according to all the goodness [02896] which he had shewed [06213] unto Israel [03478]. 7 9 1 And Abimelech [040] the son [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378] went [03212] to Shechem [07927] unto his mother's [0517] brethren [0251], and communed [01696] with them, and with all the family [04940] of the house [01004] of his mother's [0517] father [01], saying [0559], 7 9 2 Speak [01696], I pray you, in the ears [0241] of all the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], Whether is better [02896] for you, either that all the sons [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378], which are threescore and ten [07657] persons [0376], reign [04910] over you, or that one [0259] reign [04910] over you? remember [02142] also that I am your bone [06106] and your flesh [01320]. 7 9 3 And his mother's [0517] brethren [0251] spake [01696] of him in the ears [0241] of all the men [01167] of Shechem [07927] all these words [01697]: and their hearts [03820] inclined [05186] to follow [0310] Abimelech [040]; for they said [0559], He is our brother [0251]. 7 9 4 And they gave [05414] him threescore and ten [07657] pieces of silver [03701] out of the house [01004] of Baalberith [01170], wherewith Abimelech [040] hired [07936] vain [07386] and light [06348] persons [0582], which followed [03212] him [0310]. 7 9 5 And he went [0935] unto his father's [01] house [01004] at Ophrah [06084], and slew [02026] his brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378], being threescore and ten [07657] persons [0376], upon one [0259] stone [068]: notwithstanding yet Jotham [03147] the youngest [06996] son [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378] was left [03498]; for he hid [02244] himself. 7 9 6 And all the men [01167] of Shechem [07927] gathered together [0622], and all the house [01004] of Millo [04407] [01037], and went [03212], and made [04427] Abimelech [040] king [04428], by the plain [0436] of the pillar [05324] that was in Shechem [07927]. 7 9 7 And when they told [05046] it to Jotham [03147], he went [03212] and stood [05975] in the top [07218] of mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and cried [07121], and said [0559] unto them, Hearken [08085] unto me, ye men [01167] of Shechem [07927], that God [0430] may hearken [08085] unto you. 7 9 8 The trees [06086] went forth [01980] [01980] on a time to anoint [04886] a king [04428] over them; and they said [0559] unto the olive tree [02132], Reign [04427] thou over us. 7 9 9 But the olive tree [02132] said [0559] unto them, Should I leave [02308] my fatness [01880], wherewith by me they honour [03513] God [0430] and man [0582], and go [01980] to be promoted [05128] over the trees [06086]? 7 9 10 And the trees [06086] said [0559] to the fig tree [08384], Come [03212] thou, and reign [04427] over us. 7 9 11 But the fig tree [08384] said [0559] unto them, Should I forsake [02308] my sweetness [04987], and my good [02896] fruit [08570], and go [01980] to be promoted [05128] over the trees [06086]? 7 9 12 Then said [0559] the trees [06086] unto the vine [01612], Come [03212] thou, and reign [04427] over us. 7 9 13 And the vine [01612] said [0559] unto them, Should I leave [02308] my wine [08492], which cheereth [08055] God [0430] and man [0582], and go [01980] to be promoted [05128] over the trees [06086]? 7 9 14 Then said [0559] all the trees [06086] unto the bramble [0329], Come [03212] thou, and reign [04427] over us. 7 9 15 And the bramble [0329] said [0559] unto the trees [06086], If in truth [0571] ye anoint [04886] me king [04428] over you, then come [0935] and put your trust [02620] in my shadow [06738]: and if not, let fire [0784] come out [03318] of the bramble [0329], and devour [0398] the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844]. 7 9 16 Now therefore, if ye have done [06213] truly [0571] and sincerely [08549], in that ye have made Abimelech [040] king [04427], and if ye have dealt [06213] well [02896] with Jerubbaal [03378] and his house [01004], and have done [06213] unto him according to the deserving [01576] of his hands [03027]; 7 9 17 (For my father [01] fought [03898] for you, and adventured [07993] his life [05315] far [05048], and delivered [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of Midian [04080]: 7 9 18 And ye are risen up [06965] against my father's [01] house [01004] this day [03117], and have slain [02026] his sons [01121], threescore and ten [07657] persons [0376], upon one [0259] stone [068], and have made Abimelech [040], the son [01121] of his maidservant [0519], king [04427] over the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], because he is your brother [0251];) 7 9 19 If ye then have dealt [06213] truly [0571] and sincerely [08549] with Jerubbaal [03378] and with his house [01004] this day [03117], then rejoice [08055] ye in Abimelech [040], and let him also rejoice [08055] in you: 7 9 20 But if not, let fire [0784] come out [03318] from Abimelech [040], and devour [0398] the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], and the house [01004] of Millo [04407] [01037]; and let fire [0784] come out [03318] from the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], and from the house [01004] of Millo [04407] [01037], and devour [0398] Abimelech [040]. 7 9 21 And Jotham [03147] ran away [01272], and fled [05127], and went [03212] to Beer [0876], and dwelt [03427] there, for fear [06440] of Abimelech [040] his brother [0251]. 7 9 22 When Abimelech [040] had reigned [07786] three [07969] years [08141] over Israel [03478], 7 9 23 Then God [0430] sent [07971] an evil [07451] spirit [07307] between Abimelech [040] and the men [01167] of Shechem [07927]; and the men [01167] of Shechem [07927] dealt treacherously [0898] with Abimelech [040]: 7 9 24 That the cruelty [02555] done to the threescore and ten [07657] sons [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378] might come [0935], and their blood [01818] be laid [07760] upon Abimelech [040] their brother [0251], which slew [02026] them; and upon the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], which aided [02388] [03027] him in the killing [02026] of his brethren [0251]. 7 9 25 And the men [01167] of Shechem [07927] set [07760] liers in wait [0693] for him in the top [07218] of the mountains [02022], and they robbed [01497] all that came [05674] along that way [01870] by them: and it was told [05046] Abimelech [040]. 7 9 26 And Gaal [01603] the son [01121] of Ebed [05651] came [0935] with his brethren [0251], and went over [05674] to Shechem [07927]: and the men [01167] of Shechem [07927] put their confidence [0982] in him. 7 9 27 And they went out [03318] into the fields [07704], and gathered [01219] their vineyards [03754], and trode [01869] the grapes, and made [06213] merry [01974], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of their god [0430], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and cursed [07043] Abimelech [040]. 7 9 28 And Gaal [01603] the son [01121] of Ebed [05651] said [0559], Who is Abimelech [040], and who is Shechem [07927], that we should serve [05647] him? is not he the son [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378]? and Zebul [02083] his officer [06496]? serve [05647] the men [0582] of Hamor [02544] the father [01] of Shechem [07927]: for why should we serve [05647] him? 7 9 29 And would to God this people [05971] were under [05414] my hand [03027]! then would I remove [05493] Abimelech [040]. And he said [0559] to Abimelech [040], Increase [07235] thine army [06635], and come out [03318]. 7 9 30 And when Zebul [02083] the ruler [08269] of the city [05892] heard [08085] the words [01697] of Gaal [01603] the son [01121] of Ebed [05651], his anger [0639] was kindled [02734]. 7 9 31 And he sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto Abimelech [040] privily [08649], saying [0559], Behold, Gaal [01603] the son [01121] of Ebed [05651] and his brethren [0251] be come [0935] to Shechem [07927]; and, behold, they fortify [06696] the city [05892] against thee. 7 9 32 Now therefore up [06965] by night [03915], thou and the people [05971] that is with thee, and lie in wait [0693] in the field [07704]: 7 9 33 And it shall be, that in the morning [01242], as soon as the sun [08121] is up [02224], thou shalt rise early [07925], and set [06584] upon the city [05892]: and, behold, when he and the people [05971] that is with him come out [03318] against thee, then mayest thou do [06213] to them as thou [03027] shalt find occasion [04672]. 7 9 34 And Abimelech [040] rose up [06965], and all the people [05971] that were with him, by night [03915], and they laid wait [0693] against Shechem [07927] in four [0702] companies [07218]. 7 9 35 And Gaal [01603] the son [01121] of Ebed [05651] went out [03318], and stood [05975] in the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892]: and Abimelech [040] rose up [06965], and the people [05971] that were with him, from lying in wait [03993]. 7 9 36 And when Gaal [01603] saw [07200] the people [05971], he said [0559] to Zebul [02083], Behold, there come [03381] people [05971] down [03381] from the top [07218] of the mountains [02022]. And Zebul [02083] said [0559] unto him, Thou seest [07200] the shadow [06738] of the mountains [02022] as if they were men [0582]. 7 9 37 And Gaal [01603] spake [01696] again [03254] and said [0559], See there come [03381] people [05971] down [03381] by the middle [02872] of the land [0776], and another [0259] company [07218] come [0935] along by the plain [0436] of [01870] Meonenim [06049]. 7 9 38 Then said [0559] Zebul [02083] unto him, Where is now [0645] thy mouth [06310], wherewith thou saidst [0559], Who is Abimelech [040], that we should serve [05647] him? is not this the people [05971] that thou hast despised [03988]? go out [03318], I pray now [04994], and fight [03898] with them. 7 9 39 And Gaal [01603] went out [03318] before [06440] the men [01167] of Shechem [07927], and fought [03898] with Abimelech [040]. 7 9 40 And Abimelech [040] chased [07291] him, and he fled [05127] before [06440] him, and many [07227] were overthrown [05307] and wounded [02491], even unto the entering [06607] of the gate [08179]. 7 9 41 And Abimelech [040] dwelt [03427] at Arumah [0725]: and Zebul [02083] thrust out [01644] Gaal [01603] and his brethren [0251], that they should not dwell [03427] in Shechem [07927]. 7 9 42 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that the people [05971] went out [03318] into the field [07704]; and they told [05046] Abimelech [040]. 7 9 43 And he took [03947] the people [05971], and divided [02673] them into three [07969] companies [07218], and laid wait [0693] in the field [07704], and looked [07200], and, behold, the people [05971] were come forth [03318] out of the city [05892]; and he rose up [06965] against them, and smote [05221] them. 7 9 44 And Abimelech [040], and the company [07218] that was with him, rushed forward [06584], and stood [05975] in the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892]: and the two [08147] other companies [07218] ran upon [06584] all the people that were in the fields [07704], and slew [05221] them. 7 9 45 And Abimelech [040] fought [03898] against the city [05892] all that day [03117]; and he took [03920] the city [05892], and slew [02026] the people [05971] that was therein, and beat down [05422] the city [05892], and sowed [02232] it with salt [04417]. 7 9 46 And when all the men [01167] of the tower [04026] of Shechem [07927] heard [08085] that, they entered [0935] into an hold [06877] of the house [01004] of the god [0410] Berith [01286]. 7 9 47 And it was told [05046] Abimelech [040], that all the men [01167] of the tower [04026] of Shechem [07927] were gathered together [06908]. 7 9 48 And Abimelech [040] gat him up [05927] to mount [02022] Zalmon [06756], he and all the people [05971] that were with him; and Abimelech [040] took [03947] an axe [07134] in his hand [03027], and cut down [03772] a bough [07754] from the trees [06086], and took [05375] it, and laid [07760] it on his shoulder [07926], and said [0559] unto the people [05971] that were with him, What ye have seen [07200] me do [06213], make haste [04116], and do [06213] as I [03644] have done. 7 9 49 And all the people [05971] likewise cut down [03772] every man [0376] his bough [07754], and followed [03212] [0310] Abimelech [040], and put [07760] them to the hold [06877], and set [03341] the hold [06877] on fire [0784] upon them; so that all the men [0582] of the tower [04026] of Shechem [07927] died [04191] also, about a thousand [0505] men [0376] and women [0802]. 7 9 50 Then went [03212] Abimelech [040] to Thebez [08405], and encamped [02583] against Thebez [08405], and took [03920] it. 7 9 51 But there was a strong [05797] tower [04026] within [08432] the city [05892], and thither fled [05127] all the men [0582] and women [0802], and all they [01167] of the city [05892], and shut [05462] it to them, and gat them up [05927] to the top [01406] of the tower [04026]. 7 9 52 And Abimelech [040] came [0935] unto the tower [04026], and fought [03898] against it, and went hard [05066] unto the door [06607] of the tower [04026] to burn [08313] it with fire [0784]. 7 9 53 And a certain [0259] woman [0802] cast [07993] a piece [06400] of a millstone [07393] upon Abimelech's [040] head [07218], and all to brake [07533] his skull [01538]. 7 9 54 Then he called [07121] hastily [04120] unto the young man [05288] his armourbearer [05375] [03627], and said [0559] unto him, Draw [08025] thy sword [02719], and slay [04191] me, that men say [0559] not of me, A woman [0802] slew [02026] him. And his young man [05288] thrust him through [01856], and he died [04191]. 7 9 55 And when the men [0376] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] that Abimelech [040] was dead [04191], they departed [03212] every man [0376] unto his place [04725]. 7 9 56 Thus God [0430] rendered [07725] the wickedness [07451] of Abimelech [040], which he did [06213] unto his father [01], in slaying [02026] his seventy [07657] brethren [0251]: 7 9 57 And all the evil [07451] of the men [0582] of Shechem [07927] did God [0430] render [07725] upon their heads [07218]: and upon them came [0935] the curse [07045] of Jotham [03147] the son [01121] of Jerubbaal [03378]. 7 10 1 And after [0310] Abimelech [040] there arose [06965] to defend [03467] Israel [03478] Tola [08439] the son [01121] of Puah [06312], the son [01121] of Dodo [01734], a man [0376] of Issachar [03485]; and he dwelt [03427] in Shamir [08069] in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]. 7 10 2 And he judged [08199] Israel [03478] twenty [06242] and three [07969] years [08141], and died [04191], and was buried [06912] in Shamir [08069]. 7 10 3 And after [0310] him arose [06965] Jair [02971], a Gileadite [01569], and judged [08199] Israel [03478] twenty [06242] and two [08147] years [08141]. 7 10 4 And he had thirty [07970] sons [01121] that rode [07392] on thirty [07970] ass colts [05895], and they had thirty [07970] cities [05892], which are called [07121] Havothjair [02334] unto this day [03117], which are in the land [0776] of Gilead [01568]. 7 10 5 And Jair [02971] died [04191], and was buried [06912] in Camon [07056]. 7 10 6 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] again [03254] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baalim [01168], and Ashtaroth [06252], and the gods [0430] of Syria [0758], and the gods [0430] of Zidon [06721], and the gods [0430] of Moab [04124], and the gods [0430] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and the gods [0430] of the Philistines [06430], and forsook [05800] the LORD [03068], and served [05647] not him. 7 10 7 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was hot [02734] against Israel [03478], and he sold [04376] them into the hands [03027] of the Philistines [06430], and into the hands [03027] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 7 10 8 And that year [08141] they vexed [07492] and oppressed [07533] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: eighteen [08083] [06240] years [08141], all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] that were on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383] in the land [0776] of the Amorites [0567], which is in Gilead [01568]. 7 10 9 Moreover the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] passed over [05674] Jordan [03383] to fight [03898] also against Judah [03063], and against Benjamin [01144], and against the house [01004] of Ephraim [0669]; so that Israel [03478] was sore [03966] distressed [03334]. 7 10 10 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], We have sinned [02398] against thee, both because we have forsaken [05800] our God [0430], and also served [05647] Baalim [01168]. 7 10 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians [04714], and from the Amorites [0567], from the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and from the Philistines [06430]? 7 10 12 The Zidonians [06722] also, and the Amalekites [06002], and the Maonites [04584], did oppress [03905] you; and ye cried [06817] to me, and I delivered [03467] you out of their hand [03027]. 7 10 13 Yet ye have forsaken [05800] me, and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430]: wherefore I will deliver [03467] you no more [03254]. 7 10 14 Go [03212] and cry [02199] unto the gods [0430] which ye have chosen [0977]; let them [01992] deliver [03467] you in the time [06256] of your tribulation [06869]. 7 10 15 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], We have sinned [02398]: do [06213] thou unto us whatsoever seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto thee; deliver [05337] us only, we pray thee, this day [03117]. 7 10 16 And they put away [05493] the strange [05236] gods [0430] from among [07130] them, and served [05647] the LORD [03068]: and his soul [05315] was grieved [07114] for the misery [05999] of Israel [03478]. 7 10 17 Then the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] were gathered together [06817], and encamped [02583] in Gilead [01568]. And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] assembled themselves together [0622], and encamped [02583] in Mizpeh [04709]. 7 10 18 And the people [05971] and princes [08269] of Gilead [01568] said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], What man [0376] is he that will begin [02490] to fight [03898] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]? he shall be head [07218] over all the inhabitants [03427] of Gilead [01568]. 7 11 1 Now Jephthah [03316] the Gileadite [01569] was a mighty man [01368] of valour [02428], and he was the son [01121] of an harlot [0802] [02181]: and Gilead [01568] begat [03205] Jephthah [03316]. 7 11 2 And Gilead's [01568] wife [0802] bare [03205] him sons [01121]; and his wife's [0802] sons [01121] grew up [01431], and they thrust out [01644] Jephthah [03316], and said [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not inherit [05157] in our father's [01] house [01004]; for thou art the son [01121] of a strange [0312] woman [0802]. 7 11 3 Then Jephthah [03316] fled [01272] from [06440] his brethren [0251], and dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Tob [02897]: and there were gathered [03950] vain [07386] men [0582] to Jephthah [03316], and went out [03318] with him. 7 11 4 And it came to pass in process of time [03117], that the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] made war [03898] against Israel [03478]. 7 11 5 And it was so, that when the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] made war [03898] against Israel [03478], the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568] went [03212] to fetch [03947] Jephthah [03316] out of the land [0776] of Tob [02897]: 7 11 6 And they said [0559] unto Jephthah [03316], Come [03212], and be our captain [07101], that we may fight [03898] with the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 7 11 7 And Jephthah [03316] said [0559] unto the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568], Did not ye hate [08130] me, and expel [01644] me out of my father's [01] house [01004]? and why are ye come [0935] unto me now when ye are in distress [06887]? 7 11 8 And the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568] said [0559] unto Jephthah [03316], Therefore we turn again [07725] to thee now, that thou mayest go [01980] with us, and fight [03898] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and be our head [07218] over all the inhabitants [03427] of Gilead [01568]. 7 11 9 And Jephthah [03316] said [0559] unto the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568], If ye bring me home again [07725] to fight [03898] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and the LORD [03068] deliver [05414] them before [06440] me, shall I be your head [07218]? 7 11 10 And the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568] said [0559] unto Jephthah [03316], The LORD [03068] be witness [08085] between us, if we do [06213] not so according to thy words [01697]. 7 11 11 Then Jephthah [03316] went [03212] with the elders [02205] of Gilead [01568], and the people [05971] made [07760] him head [07218] and captain [07101] over them: and Jephthah [03316] uttered [01696] all his words [01697] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in Mizpeh [04709]. 7 11 12 And Jephthah [03316] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], saying [0559], What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come [0935] against me to fight [03898] in my land [0776]? 7 11 13 And the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] answered [0559] unto the messengers [04397] of Jephthah [03316], Because Israel [03478] took away [03947] my land [0776], when they came up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], from Arnon [0769] even unto Jabbok [02999], and unto Jordan [03383]: now therefore restore those lands again [07725] peaceably [07965]. 7 11 14 And Jephthah [03316] sent [07971] messengers [04397] again [03254] unto the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]: 7 11 15 And said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Jephthah [03316], Israel [03478] took not away [03947] the land [0776] of Moab [04124], nor the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]: 7 11 16 But when Israel [03478] came up [05927] from Egypt [04714], and walked [03212] through the wilderness [04057] unto the Red [05488] sea [03220], and came [0935] to Kadesh [06946]; 7 11 17 Then Israel [03478] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto the king [04428] of Edom [0123], saying [0559], Let me, I pray thee, pass through [05674] thy land [0776]: but the king [04428] of Edom [0123] would not hearken [08085] thereto. And in like manner they sent [07971] unto the king [04428] of Moab [04124]: but he would [014] not consent: and Israel [03478] abode [03427] in Kadesh [06946]. 7 11 18 Then they went along [03212] through the wilderness [04057], and compassed [05437] the land [0776] of Edom [0123], and the land [0776] of Moab [04124], and came [0935] by the east side [04217] [08121] of the land [0776] of Moab [04124], and pitched [02583] on the other side [05676] of Arnon [0769], but came [0935] not within the border [01366] of Moab [04124]: for Arnon [0769] was the border [01366] of Moab [04124]. 7 11 19 And Israel [03478] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], the king [04428] of Heshbon [02809]; and Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, Let us pass [05674], we pray thee, through thy land [0776] into [05704] my place [04725]. 7 11 20 But Sihon [05511] trusted [0539] not Israel [03478] to pass [05674] through his coast [01366]: but Sihon [05511] gathered [0622] all his people [05971] together [0622], and pitched [02583] in Jahaz [03096], and fought [03898] against Israel [03478]. 7 11 21 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] delivered [05414] Sihon [05511] and all his people [05971] into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478], and they smote [05221] them: so Israel [03478] possessed [03423] all the land [0776] of the Amorites [0567], the inhabitants [03427] of that country [0776]. 7 11 22 And they possessed [03423] all the coasts [01366] of the Amorites [0567], from Arnon [0769] even unto Jabbok [02999], and from the wilderness [04057] even unto Jordan [03383]. 7 11 23 So now the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] hath dispossessed [03423] the Amorites [0567] from before [06440] his people [05971] Israel [03478], and shouldest thou possess [03423] it? 7 11 24 Wilt not thou possess [03423] that which Chemosh [03645] thy god [0430] giveth thee to possess [03423]? So whomsoever the LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall drive out [03423] from before [06440] us, them will we possess [03423]. 7 11 25 And now art thou any thing better [02896] than Balak [01111] the son [01121] of Zippor [06834], king [04428] of Moab [04124]? did he ever [07378] strive [07378] against Israel [03478], or did he ever [03898] fight [03898] against them, 7 11 26 While Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in Heshbon [02809] and her towns [01323], and in Aroer [06177] and her towns [01323], and in all the cities [05892] that be along by the coasts [03027] of Arnon [0769], three [07969] hundred [03967] years [08141]? why therefore did ye not recover [05337] them within that time [06256]? 7 11 27 Wherefore I have not sinned [02398] against thee, but thou doest [06213] [0853] me wrong [07451] to war [03898] against me: the LORD [03068] the Judge [08199] be judge [08199] this day [03117] between the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 7 11 28 Howbeit the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] hearkened [08085] not unto the words [01697] of Jephthah [03316] which he sent [07971] him. 7 11 29 Then the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came upon Jephthah [03316], and he passed over [05674] Gilead [01568], and Manasseh [04519], and passed over [05674] Mizpeh [04708] of Gilead [01568], and from Mizpeh [04708] of Gilead [01568] he passed over [05674] unto the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 7 11 30 And Jephthah [03316] vowed [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], If thou shalt without fail [05414] deliver [05414] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] into mine hands [03027], 7 11 31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever [03318] cometh forth [03318] of the doors [01817] of my house [01004] to meet [07125] me, when I return [07725] in peace [07965] from the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], shall surely be the LORD'S [03068], and I will offer it up [05927] for a burnt offering [05930]. 7 11 32 So Jephthah [03316] passed over [05674] unto the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] to fight [03898] against them; and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] them into his hands [03027]. 7 11 33 And he smote [05221] them from Aroer [06177], even till thou come [0935] to Minnith [04511], even twenty [06242] cities [05892], and unto the plain [058] of the vineyards [03754] [064], with a very [03966] great [01419] slaughter [04347]. Thus the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] were subdued [03665] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 7 11 34 And Jephthah [03316] came [0935] to Mizpeh [04709] unto his house [01004], and, behold, his daughter [01323] came out [03318] to meet [07125] him with timbrels [08596] and with dances [04246]: and she was his only child [03173]; beside her he had neither son [01121] nor [0176] daughter [01323]. 7 11 35 And it came to pass, when he saw [07200] her, that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and said [0559], Alas [0162], my daughter [01323]! thou hast brought [03766] me very [03766] low [03766], and thou art one of them that trouble [05916] me: for I have opened [06475] my mouth [06310] unto the LORD [03068], and I cannot [03201] go back [07725]. 7 11 36 And she said [0559] unto him, My father [01], if thou hast opened [06475] thy mouth [06310] unto the LORD [03068], do [06213] to me according to that which [0834] hath proceeded [03318] out of thy mouth [06310]; forasmuch [0310] as the LORD [03068] hath taken [06213] vengeance [05360] for thee of thine enemies [0341], even of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 7 11 37 And she said [0559] unto her father [01], Let this thing [01697] be done [06213] for me: let me alone [07503] two [08147] months [02320], that I may go up [03212] and down [03381] upon the mountains [02022], and bewail [01058] my virginity [01331], I and my fellows [07464] [07474]. 7 11 38 And he said [0559], Go [03212]. And he sent her away [07971] for two [08147] months [02320]: and she went [03212] with her companions [07464], and bewailed [01058] her virginity [01331] upon the mountains [02022]. 7 11 39 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of two [08147] months [02320], that she returned [07725] unto her father [01], who did [06213] with her according to his vow [05088] which he had vowed [05087]: and she knew [03045] no man [0376]. And it was a custom [02706] in Israel [03478], 7 11 40 That the daughters [01323] of Israel [03478] went [03212] yearly [03117] [03117] to lament [08567] the daughter [01323] of Jephthah [03316] the Gileadite [01569] four [0702] days [03117] in a year [08141]. 7 12 1 And the men [0376] of Ephraim [0669] gathered themselves together [06817], and went [05674] northward [06828], and said [0559] unto Jephthah [03316], Wherefore passedst thou over [05674] to fight [03898] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and didst not call [07121] us to go [03212] with thee? we will burn [08313] thine house [01004] upon thee with fire [0784]. 7 12 2 And Jephthah [03316] said [0559] unto them, I and my people [05971] were [01961] at great [03966] strife [0376] [07379] with the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]; and when I called [02199] you, ye delivered [03467] me not out of their hands [03027]. 7 12 3 And when I saw [07200] that ye delivered [03467] me not, I put [07760] my life [05315] in my hands [03709], and passed over [05674] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] them into my hand [03027]: wherefore then are ye come up [05927] unto me this day [03117], to fight [03898] against me? 7 12 4 Then Jephthah [03316] gathered together [06908] all the men [0582] of Gilead [01568], and fought [03898] with Ephraim [0669]: and the men [0582] of Gilead [01568] smote [05221] Ephraim [0669], because they said [0559], Ye Gileadites [01568] are fugitives [06412] of Ephraim [0669] among [08432] the Ephraimites [0669], and among [08432] the Manassites [04519]. 7 12 5 And the Gileadites [01568] took [03920] the passages [04569] of Jordan [03383] before the Ephraimites [0669]: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites [0669] which were escaped [06412] said [0559], Let me go over [05674]; that the men [0582] of Gilead [01568] said [0559] unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite [0673]? If he said [0559], Nay; 7 12 6 Then said [0559] they unto him, Say [0559] now Shibboleth [07641]: and he said [0559] Sibboleth [05451]: for he could not frame [03559] to pronounce [01696] it right [03559]. Then they took [0270] him, and slew [07819] him at the passages [04569] of Jordan [03383]: and there fell [05307] at that time [06256] of the Ephraimites [0669] forty [0705] and two [08147] thousand [0505]. 7 12 7 And Jephthah [03316] judged [08199] Israel [03478] six [08337] years [08141]. Then died [04191] Jephthah [03316] the Gileadite [01569], and was buried [06912] in one of the cities [05892] of Gilead [01568]. 7 12 8 And after [0310] him Ibzan [078] of Bethlehem [01035] judged [08199] Israel [03478]. 7 12 9 And he had thirty [07970] sons [01121], and thirty [07970] daughters [01323], whom he sent [07971] abroad [02351], and took [0935] in thirty [07970] daughters [01323] from abroad [02351] for his sons [01121]. And he judged [08199] Israel [03478] seven [07651] years [08141]. 7 12 10 Then died [04191] Ibzan [078], and was buried [06912] at Bethlehem [01035]. 7 12 11 And after [0310] him Elon [0356], a Zebulonite [02075], judged [08199] Israel [03478]; and he judged [08199] Israel [03478] ten [06235] years [08141]. 7 12 12 And Elon [0356] the Zebulonite [02075] died [04191], and was buried [06912] in Aijalon [0357] in the country [0776] of Zebulun [02074]. 7 12 13 And after [0310] him Abdon [05658] the son [01121] of Hillel [01985], a Pirathonite [06553], judged [08199] Israel [03478]. 7 12 14 And he had forty [0705] sons [01121] and thirty [07970] nephews [01121] [01121], that rode [07392] on threescore and ten [07657] ass colts [05895]: and he judged [08199] Israel [03478] eight [08083] years [08141]. 7 12 15 And Abdon [05658] the son [01121] of Hillel [01985] the Pirathonite [06553] died [04191], and was buried [06912] in Pirathon [06552] in the land [0776] of Ephraim [0669], in the mount [02022] of the Amalekites [06003]. 7 13 1 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] again [03254] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430] forty [0705] years [08141]. 7 13 2 And there was a certain [0259] man [0376] of Zorah [06881], of the family [04940] of the Danites [01839], whose name [08034] was Manoah [04495]; and his wife [0802] was barren [06135], and bare [03205] not. 7 13 3 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto the woman [0802], and said [0559] unto her, Behold now, thou art barren [06135], and bearest [03205] not: but thou shalt conceive [02029], and bear [03205] a son [01121]. 7 13 4 Now therefore beware [08104], I pray thee, and drink [08354] not wine [03196] nor strong drink [07941], and eat [0398] not any unclean [02931] thing: 7 13 5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and no razor [04177] shall come [05927] on his head [07218]: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] unto God [0430] from the womb [0990]: and he shall begin [02490] to deliver [03467] Israel [03478] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 7 13 6 Then the woman [0802] came [0935] and told [0559] her husband [0376], saying [0559], A man [0376] of God [0430] came [0935] unto me, and his countenance [04758] was like the countenance [04758] of an angel [04397] of God [0430], very [03966] terrible [03372]: but I asked [07592] him not whence he was, neither told [05046] he me his name [08034]: 7 13 7 But he said [0559] unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and now drink [07941] no wine [03196] nor strong drink [08354], neither eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] to God [0430] from the womb [0990] to the day [03117] of his death [04194]. 7 13 8 Then Manoah [04495] intreated [06279] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O [0994] my Lord [0136], let [04994] the man [0376] of God [0430] which thou didst send [07971] come again [0935] unto us, and teach [03384] us what we shall do [06213] unto the child [05288] that shall be born [03205]. 7 13 9 And God [0430] hearkened [08085] to the voice [06963] of Manoah [04495]; and the angel [04397] of God [0430] came again [0935] unto the woman [0802] as she sat [03427] in the field [07704]: but Manoah [04495] her husband [0376] was not with her. 7 13 10 And the woman [0802] made haste [04116], and ran [07323], and shewed [05046] her husband [0376], and said [0559] unto him, Behold, the man [0376] hath appeared [07200] unto me, that came [0935] unto me the other day [03117]. 7 13 11 And Manoah [04495] arose [06965], and went [03212] after [0310] his wife [0802], and came [0935] to the man [0376], and said [0559] unto him, Art thou the man [0376] that spakest [01696] unto the woman [0802]? And he said [0559], I am. 7 13 12 And Manoah [04495] said [0559], Now let thy words [01697] come to pass [0935]. How shall we order [04941] the child [05288], and how shall we do [04639] unto him? 7 13 13 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Manoah [04495], Of all that I said [0559] unto the woman [0802] let her beware [08104]. 7 13 14 She may not eat [0398] of any thing that cometh [03318] of the vine [01612], neither let her drink [08354] wine [03196] or strong drink [07941], nor eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: all that I commanded [06680] her let her observe [08104]. 7 13 15 And Manoah [04495] said [0559] unto the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], I pray thee, let us detain [06113] thee, until we shall have made ready [06213] a kid [01423] [05795] for [06440] thee. 7 13 16 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Manoah [04495], Though thou detain [06113] me, I will not eat [0398] of thy bread [03899]: and if [0518] thou wilt offer [06213] a burnt offering [05930], thou must offer [05927] it unto the LORD [03068]. For Manoah [04495] knew [03045] not that he was an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068]. 7 13 17 And Manoah [04495] said [0559] unto the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], What is thy name [08034], that when thy sayings [01697] come to pass [0935] we may do thee honour [03513]? 7 13 18 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Why askest [07592] thou thus after my name [08034], seeing it is secret [06383] [06383]? 7 13 19 So Manoah [04495] took [03947] a kid [01423] [05795] with a meat offering [04503], and offered [05927] it upon a rock [06697] unto the LORD [03068]: and the angel did [06213] wondrously [06381]; and Manoah [04495] and his wife [0802] looked on [07200]. 7 13 20 For it came to pass, when the flame [03851] went up [05927] toward heaven [08064] from off the altar [04196], that the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] ascended [05927] in the flame [03851] of the altar [04196]. And Manoah [04495] and his wife [0802] looked on [07200] it, and fell on [05307] their faces [06440] to the ground [0776]. 7 13 21 But the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] did no more [03254] appear [07200] to Manoah [04495] and to his wife [0802]. Then Manoah [04495] knew [03045] that he was an angel [04397] of the LORD [03068]. 7 13 22 And Manoah [04495] said [0559] unto his wife [0802], We shall surely [04191] die [04191], because we have seen [07200] God [0430]. 7 13 23 But his wife [0802] said [0559] unto him, If [03863] the LORD [03068] were pleased [02654] to kill [04191] us, he would not have received [03947] a burnt offering [05930] and a meat offering [04503] at our hands [03027], neither would he have shewed [07200] us all these things, nor would as at this time [06256] have told [08085] us such things as these [02063]. 7 13 24 And the woman [0802] bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Samson [08123]: and the child [05288] grew [01431], and the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] him. 7 13 25 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] began [02490] to move him at times [06470] in the camp [04264] of Dan [01835] between Zorah [06881] and Eshtaol [0847]. 7 14 1 And Samson [08123] went down [03381] to Timnath [08553], and saw [07200] a woman [0802] in Timnath [08553] of the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430]. 7 14 2 And he came up [05927], and told [05046] his father [01] and his mother [0517], and said [0559], I have seen [07200] a woman [0802] in Timnath [08553] of the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430]: now therefore get [03947] her for me to wife [0802]. 7 14 3 Then his father [01] and his mother [0517] said [0559] unto him, Is there never [0369] a woman [0802] among the daughters [01323] of thy brethren [0251], or among all my people [05971], that thou goest [01980] to take [03947] a wife [0802] of the uncircumcised [06189] Philistines [06430]? And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto his father [01], Get [03947] her for me; for she pleaseth me well [03474] [05869]. 7 14 4 But his father [01] and his mother [0517] knew [03045] not that it was of the LORD [03068], that he sought [01245] an occasion [08385] against the Philistines [06430]: for at that time [06256] the Philistines [06430] had dominion [04910] over Israel [03478]. 7 14 5 Then went [03381] Samson [08123] down [03381], and his father [01] and his mother [0517], to Timnath [08553], and came [0935] to the vineyards [03754] of Timnath [08553]: and, behold, a young [03715] lion [0738] roared [07580] against [07125] him. 7 14 6 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came mightily [06743] upon him, and he rent [08156] him as he would have rent [08156] a kid [01423], and he had nothing [03972] in his hand [03027]: but he told [05046] not his father [01] or his mother [0517] what he had done [06213]. 7 14 7 And he went down [03381], and talked [01696] with the woman [0802]; and she pleased [03474] Samson [08123] well [03474] [05869]. 7 14 8 And after a time [03117] he returned [07725] to take [03947] her, and he turned aside [05493] to see [07200] the carcase [04658] of the lion [0738]: and, behold, there was a swarm [05712] of bees [01682] and honey [01706] in the carcase [01472] of the lion [0738]. 7 14 9 And he took [07287] thereof in his hands [03709], and went on [03212] eating [0398], and came [01980] to his father [01] and mother [0517], and he gave [05414] them, and they did eat [0398]: but he told [05046] not them that he had taken [07287] the honey [01706] out of the carcase [01472] of the lion [0738]. 7 14 10 So his father [01] went down [03381] unto the woman [0802]: and Samson [08123] made [06213] there a feast [04960]; for so used the young men [0970] to do [06213]. 7 14 11 And it came to pass, when they saw [07200] him, that they brought [03947] thirty [07970] companions [04828] to be with him. 7 14 12 And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto them, I will now put forth [02330] a riddle [02420] unto you: if ye can certainly [05046] declare [05046] it me within the seven [07651] days [03117] of the feast [04960], and find it out [04672], then I will give [05414] you thirty [07970] sheets [05466] and thirty [07970] change [02487] of garments [0899]: 7 14 13 But if ye cannot [03201] declare [05046] it me, then shall ye give [05414] me thirty [07970] sheets [05466] and thirty [07970] change [02487] of garments [0899]. And they said [0559] unto him, Put forth [02330] thy riddle [02420], that we may hear [08085] it. 7 14 14 And he said [0559] unto them, Out of the eater [0398] came forth [03318] meat [03978], and out of the strong [05794] came forth [03318] sweetness [04966]. And they could [03201] not in three [07969] days [03117] expound [05046] the riddle [02420]. 7 14 15 And it came to pass on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that they said [0559] unto Samson's [08123] wife [0802], Entice [06601] thy husband [0376], that he may declare [05046] unto us the riddle [02420], lest we burn [08313] thee and thy father's [01] house [01004] with fire [0784]: have ye called [07121] us to take that we have [03423]? is it not so? 7 14 16 And Samson's [08123] wife [0802] wept [01058] before him, and said [0559], Thou dost but hate [08130] me, and lovest [0157] me not: thou hast put forth [02330] a riddle [02420] unto the children [01121] of my people [05971], and hast not told [05046] it me. And he said [0559] unto her, Behold, I have not told [05046] it my father [01] nor my mother [0517], and shall I tell [05046] it thee? 7 14 17 And she wept [01058] before him the seven [07651] days [03117], while their feast [04960] lasted [01961]: and it came to pass on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that he told [05046] her, because she lay sore [06693] upon him: and she told [05046] the riddle [02420] to the children [01121] of her people [05971]. 7 14 18 And the men [0582] of the city [05892] said [0559] unto him on the seventh [07637] day [03117] before the sun [02775] went down [0935], What is sweeter [04966] than honey [01706]? and what is stronger [05794] than a lion [0738]? And he said [0559] unto them, If [03884] ye had not plowed [02790] with my heifer [05697], ye had not found out [04672] my riddle [02420]. 7 14 19 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came [06743] upon him, and he went down [03381] to Ashkelon [0831], and slew [05221] thirty [07970] men [0376] of them, and took [03947] their spoil [02488], and gave [05414] change [02487] of garments unto them which expounded [05046] the riddle [02420]. And his anger [0639] was kindled [02734], and he went up [05927] to his father's [01] house [01004]. 7 14 20 But Samson's [08123] wife [0802] was given to his companion [04828], whom he had used as his friend [07462]. 7 15 1 But it came to pass within a while after [03117], in the time [03117] of wheat [02406] harvest [07105], that Samson [08123] visited [06485] his wife [0802] with a kid [01423] [05795]; and he said [0559], I will go in [0935] to my wife [0802] into the chamber [02315]. But her father [01] would not suffer [05414] him to go in [0935]. 7 15 2 And her father [01] said [0559], I verily [0559] thought [0559] that thou hadst utterly [08130] hated [08130] her; therefore I gave [05414] her to thy companion [04828]: is not her younger [06996] sister [0269] fairer [02896] than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 7 15 3 And Samson [08123] said [0559] concerning them, Now [06471] shall I be more blameless [05352] than the Philistines [06430], though I do [06213] them a displeasure [07451]. 7 15 4 And Samson [08123] went [03212] and caught [03920] three [07969] hundred [03967] foxes [07776], and took [03947] firebrands [03940], and turned [06437] tail [02180] to tail [02180], and put [07760] a [0259] firebrand [03940] in the midst [08432] between two [08147] tails [02180]. 7 15 5 And when he had set [01197] the brands [03940] on fire [0784], he let them go [07971] into the standing corn [07054] of the Philistines [06430], and burnt up [01197] both the shocks [01430], and also the standing corn [07054], with the vineyards [03754] and olives [02132]. 7 15 6 Then the Philistines [06430] said [0559], Who hath done [06213] this? And they answered [0559], Samson [08123], the son in law [02860] of the Timnite [08554], because he had taken [03947] his wife [0802], and given [05414] her to his companion [04828]. And the Philistines [06430] came up [05927], and burnt [08313] her and her father [01] with fire [0784]. 7 15 7 And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto them, Though [0518] ye have done [06213] this [02063], yet will I be avenged [05358] of you, and after [0310] that I will cease [02308]. 7 15 8 And he smote [05221] them hip [07785] and [05921] thigh [03409] with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]: and he went down [03381] and dwelt [03427] in the top [05585] of the rock [05553] Etam [05862]. 7 15 9 Then the Philistines [06430] went up [05927], and pitched [02583] in Judah [03063], and spread [05203] themselves in Lehi [03896]. 7 15 10 And the men [0376] of Judah [03063] said [0559], Why are ye come up [05927] against us? And they answered [0559], To bind [0631] Samson [08123] are we come up [05927], to do [06213] to him as he hath done [06213] to us. 7 15 11 Then three [07969] thousand [0505] men [0376] of Judah [03063] went [03381] to the top [05585] of the rock [05553] Etam [05862], and said [0559] to Samson [08123], Knowest [03045] thou not that the Philistines [06430] are rulers [04910] over us? what is this that thou hast done [06213] unto us? And he said [0559] unto them, As they did [06213] unto me, so have I done [06213] unto them. 7 15 12 And they said [0559] unto him, We are come down [03381] to bind [0631] thee, that we may deliver [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto them, Swear [07650] unto me, that ye will not fall upon [06293] me yourselves. 7 15 13 And they spake [0559] unto him, saying [0559], No; but we will bind [0631] thee fast [0631], and deliver [05414] thee into their hand [03027]: but surely [04191] we will not kill [04191] thee. And they bound [0631] him with two [08147] new [02319] cords [05688], and brought him up [05927] from the rock [05553]. 7 15 14 And when he came [0935] unto Lehi [03896], the Philistines [06430] shouted [07321] against [07125] him: and the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came mightily [06743] upon him, and the cords [05688] that were upon his arms [02220] became as flax [06593] that was burnt [01197] with fire [0784], and his bands [0612] loosed [04549] from off his hands [03027]. 7 15 15 And he found [04672] a new [02961] jawbone [03895] of an ass [02543], and put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took [03947] it, and slew [05221] a thousand [0505] men [0376] therewith. 7 15 16 And Samson [08123] said [0559], With the jawbone [03895] of an ass [02543], heaps [02565] upon heaps [02565], with the jaw [03895] of an ass [02543] have I slain [05221] a thousand [0505] men [0376]. 7 15 17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696], that he cast away [07993] the jawbone [03895] out of his hand [03027], and called [07121] that place [04725] Ramathlehi [07437]. 7 15 18 And he was sore [03966] athirst [06770], and called [07121] on the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Thou hast given [05414] this great [01419] deliverance [08668] into the hand [03027] of thy servant [05650]: and now shall I die [04191] for thirst [06772], and fall [05307] into the hand [03027] of the uncircumcised [06189]? 7 15 19 But God [0430] clave [01234] an hollow place [04388] that was in the jaw [03895], and there came [03318] water [04325] thereout; and when he had drunk [08354], his spirit [07307] came again [07725], and he revived [02421]: wherefore he called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Enhakkore [05875], which is in Lehi [03896] unto this day [03117]. 7 15 20 And he judged [08199] Israel [03478] in the days [03117] of the Philistines [06430] twenty [06242] years [08141]. 7 16 1 Then went [03212] Samson [08123] to Gaza [05804], and saw [07200] there an harlot [0802] [02181], and went in [0935] unto her. 7 16 2 And it was told the Gazites [05841], saying [0559], Samson [08123] is come [0935] hither. And they compassed him in [05437], and laid wait [0693] for him all night [03915] in the gate [08179] of the city [05892], and were quiet [02790] all the night [03915], saying [0559], In the morning [01242], when it is day [0216], we shall kill [02026] him. 7 16 3 And Samson [08123] lay [07901] till midnight [02677] [03915], and arose [06965] at midnight [02677] [03915], and took [0270] the doors [01817] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892], and the two [08147] posts [04201], and went away [05265] with them, bar [01280] and all, and put [07760] them upon his shoulders [03802], and carried them up [05927] to the top [07218] of an hill [02022] that is before [06440] Hebron [02275]. 7 16 4 And it came to pass afterward [0310], that he loved [0157] a woman [0802] in the valley [05158] of Sorek [07796], whose name [08034] was Delilah [01807]. 7 16 5 And the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] unto her, and said [0559] unto her, Entice [06601] him, and see [07200] wherein his great [01419] strength [03581] lieth, and by what means we may prevail [03201] against him, that we may bind [0631] him to afflict [06031] him: and we will give [05414] thee every one [0376] of us eleven hundred [0505] [03967] pieces of silver [03701]. 7 16 6 And Delilah [01807] said [0559] to Samson [08123], Tell [05046] me, I pray thee, wherein thy great [01419] strength [03581] lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound [0631] to afflict [06031] thee. 7 16 7 And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto her, If they bind [0631] me with seven [07651] green [03892] withs [03499] that were never dried [02717], then shall I be weak [02470], and be as another [0259] man [0120]. 7 16 8 Then the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] brought up [05927] to her seven [07651] green [03892] withs [03499] which had not been dried [02717], and she bound [0631] him with them. 7 16 9 Now there were men lying in wait [0693], abiding [03427] with her in the chamber [02315]. And she said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [06430] be upon thee, Samson [08123]. And he brake [05423] the withs [03499], as a thread [06616] of tow [05296] is broken [05423] when it toucheth [07306] the fire [0784]. So his strength [03581] was not known [03045]. 7 16 10 And Delilah [01807] said [0559] unto Samson [08123], Behold, thou hast mocked [02048] me, and told [01696] me lies [03577]: now tell [05046] me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound [0631]. 7 16 11 And he said [0559] unto her, If they bind [0631] me fast [0631] with new [02319] ropes [05688] that never were occupied [04399] [06213], then shall I be weak [02470], and be as another [0259] man [0120]. 7 16 12 Delilah [01807] therefore took [03947] new [02319] ropes [05688], and bound [0631] him therewith, and said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [06430] be upon thee, Samson [08123]. And there were liers in wait [0693] abiding [03427] in the chamber [02315]. And he brake [05423] them from off his arms [02220] like a thread [02339]. 7 16 13 And Delilah [01807] said [0559] unto Samson [08123], Hitherto [02008] thou hast mocked [02048] me, and told [01696] me lies [03577]: tell [05046] me wherewith thou mightest be bound [0631]. And he said [0559] unto her, If thou weavest [0707] the seven [07651] locks [04253] of my head [07218] with the web [04545]. 7 16 14 And she fastened [08628] it with the pin [03489], and said [0559] unto him, The Philistines [06430] be upon thee, Samson [08123]. And he awaked [03364] out of his sleep [08142], and went away [05265] with the pin [03489] of the beam [0708], and with the web [04545]. 7 16 15 And she said [0559] unto him, How [0349] canst thou say [0559], I love [0157] thee, when thine heart [03820] is not with me? thou hast mocked [02048] me these three [07969] times [06471], and hast not told [05046] me wherein thy great [01419] strength [03581] lieth. 7 16 16 And it came to pass, when she pressed [06693] him daily [03117] with her words [01697], and urged [0509] him, so that his soul [05315] was vexed [07114] unto death [04191]; 7 16 17 That he told [05046] her all his heart [03820], and said [0559] unto her, There hath not come [05927] a razor [04177] upon mine head [07218]; for I have been a Nazarite [05139] unto God [0430] from my mother's [0517] womb [0990]: if I be shaven [01548], then my strength [03581] will go [05493] from me, and I shall become weak [02470], and be like any other man [0120]. 7 16 18 And when Delilah [01807] saw [07200] that he had told [05046] her all his heart [03820], she sent [07971] and called [07121] for the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430], saying [0559], Come up [05927] this once [06471], for he hath shewed [05046] me all his heart [03820]. Then the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] unto her, and brought [05927] money [03701] in their hand [03027]. 7 16 19 And she made him sleep [03462] upon her knees [01290]; and she called [07121] for a man [0376], and she caused him to shave off [01548] the seven [07651] locks [04253] of his head [07218]; and she began [02490] to afflict [06031] him, and his strength [03581] went [05493] from him. 7 16 20 And she said [0559], The Philistines [06430] be upon thee, Samson [08123]. And he awoke [03364] out of his sleep [08142], and said [0559], I will go out [03318] as at other times before [06471], and shake [05287] myself. And he wist [03045] not that the LORD [03068] was departed [05493] from him. 7 16 21 But the Philistines [06430] took [0270] him, and put out [05365] his eyes [05869], and brought him down [03381] to Gaza [05804], and bound [0631] him with fetters of brass [05178]; and he did grind [02912] in the prison [0631] house [01004]. 7 16 22 Howbeit the hair [08181] of his head [07218] began [02490] to grow again [06779] after [0834] he was shaven [01548]. 7 16 23 Then the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] gathered them together [0622] for to offer [02076] a great [01419] sacrifice [02077] unto Dagon [01712] their god [0430], and to rejoice [08057]: for they said [0559], Our god [0430] hath delivered [05414] Samson [08123] our enemy [0341] into our hand [03027]. 7 16 24 And when the people [05971] saw [07200] him, they praised [01984] their god [0430]: for they said [0559], Our god [0430] hath delivered [05414] into our hands [03027] our enemy [0341], and the destroyer [02717] of our country [0776], which slew [02491] many [07235] of us. 7 16 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts [03820] were merry [02896], that they said [0559], Call [07121] for Samson [08123], that he may make us sport [07832]. And they called [07121] for Samson [08123] out of the prison [0631] house [01004]; and he made them [06440] sport [06711]: and they set [05975] him between the pillars [05982]. 7 16 26 And Samson [08123] said [0559] unto the lad [05288] that held [02388] him by the hand [03027], Suffer [03240] me that I may feel [04184] [03237] the pillars [05982] whereupon the house [01004] standeth [03559], that I may lean [08172] upon them. 7 16 27 Now the house [01004] was full [04390] of men [0582] and women [0802]; and all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] were there; and there were upon the roof [01406] about three [07969] thousand [0505] men [0376] and women [0802], that beheld [07200] while Samson [08123] made sport [07832]. 7 16 28 And Samson [08123] called [07121] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], remember [02142] me, I pray thee, and strengthen [02388] me, I pray thee, only this once [06471], O God [0430], that I may be at once [0259] avenged [05358] [05359] of the Philistines [06430] for my two [08147] eyes [05869]. 7 16 29 And Samson [08123] took hold [03943] of the two [08147] middle [08432] pillars [05982] upon which the house [01004] stood [03559], and on which it was borne up [05564], of the one [0259] with his right hand [03225], and of the other [0259] with his left [08040]. 7 16 30 And Samson [08123] said [0559], Let me die [04191] [05315] with the Philistines [06430]. And he bowed [05186] himself with all his might [03581]; and the house [01004] fell [05307] upon the lords [05633], and upon all the people [05971] that were therein. So the dead [04191] which he slew [04191] at his death [04194] were more [07227] than they which he slew [04191] in his life [02416]. 7 16 31 Then his brethren [0251] and all the house [01004] of his father [01] came down [03381], and took [05375] him, and brought him up [05927], and buried [06912] him between Zorah [06881] and Eshtaol [0847] in the buryingplace [06913] of Manoah [04495] his father [01]. And he judged [08199] Israel [03478] twenty [06242] years [08141]. 7 17 1 And there was a man [0376] of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], whose name [08034] was Micah [04321]. 7 17 2 And he said [0559] unto his mother [0517], The eleven hundred [0505] [03967] shekels of silver [03701] that were taken [03947] from thee, about which thou cursedst [0422], and spakest [0559] of also in mine ears [0241], behold, the silver [03701] is with me; I took [03947] it. And his mother [0517] said [0559], Blessed [01288] be thou of the LORD [03068], my son [01121]. 7 17 3 And when he had restored [07725] the eleven hundred [0505] [03967] shekels of silver [03701] to his mother [0517], his mother [0517] said [0559], I had wholly [06942] dedicated [06942] the silver [03701] unto the LORD [03068] from my hand [03027] for my son [01121], to make [06213] a graven image [06459] and a molten image [04541]: now therefore I will restore [07725] it unto thee. 7 17 4 Yet he restored [07725] the money [03701] unto his mother [0517]; and his mother [0517] took [03947] two hundred [03967] shekels of silver [03701], and gave [05414] them to the founder [06884], who made [06213] thereof a graven image [06459] and a molten image [04541]: and they were in the house [01004] of Micah [04321]. 7 17 5 And the man [0376] Micah [04318] had an house [01004] of gods [0430], and made [06213] an ephod [0646], and teraphim [08655], and consecrated [04390] [03027] one [0259] of his sons [01121], who became his priest [03548]. 7 17 6 In those days [03117] there was no king [04428] in Israel [03478], but every man [0376] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in his own eyes [05869]. 7 17 7 And there was a young man [05288] out of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063] of the family [04940] of Judah [03063], who was a Levite [03881], and he sojourned [01481] there. 7 17 8 And the man [0376] departed [03212] out of the city [05892] from Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063] to sojourn [01481] where he could find [04672] a place: and he came [0935] to mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] to the house [01004] of Micah [04318], as he journeyed [06213] [01870]. 7 17 9 And Micah [04318] said [0559] unto him, Whence [0370] comest [0935] thou? And he said [0559] unto him, I am a Levite [03881] of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063], and I go [01980] to sojourn [01481] where I may find [04672] a place. 7 17 10 And Micah [04318] said [0559] unto him, Dwell [03427] with me, and be unto me a father [01] and a priest [03548], and I will give [05414] thee ten [06235] shekels of silver [03701] by the year [03117], and a suit [06187] of apparel [0899], and thy victuals [04241]. So the Levite [03881] went in [03212]. 7 17 11 And the Levite [03881] was content [02974] to dwell [03427] with the man [0376]; and the young man [05288] was unto him as one [0259] of his sons [01121]. 7 17 12 And Micah [04318] consecrated [04390] [03027] the Levite [03881]; and the young man [05288] became his priest [03548], and was in the house [01004] of Micah [04318]. 7 17 13 Then said [0559] Micah [04318], Now know [03045] I that the LORD [03068] will do me good [03190], seeing I have a Levite [03881] to my priest [03548]. 7 18 1 In those days [03117] there was no king [04428] in Israel [03478]: and in those days [03117] the tribe [07626] of the Danites [01839] sought [01245] them an inheritance [05159] to dwell in [03427]; for unto that day [03117] all their inheritance [05159] had not fallen [05307] unto them among [08432] the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 7 18 2 And the children [01121] of Dan [01835] sent [07971] of their family [04940] five [02568] men [0582] from their coasts [07098], men [01121] of valour [02428], from Zorah [06881], and from Eshtaol [0847], to spy [07270] out the land [0776], and to search [02713] it; and they said [0559] unto them, Go [03212], search [02713] the land [0776]: who when they came [0935] to mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], to the house [01004] of Micah [04318], they lodged [03885] there. 7 18 3 When they were by the house [01004] of Micah [04318], they knew [05234] the voice [06963] of the young man [05288] the Levite [03881]: and they turned in [05493] thither, and said [0559] unto him, Who brought [0935] thee hither [01988]? and what makest [06213] thou in this place? and what hast thou here? 7 18 4 And he said [0559] unto them, Thus [02090] and thus [02090] dealeth [06213] Micah [04318] with me, and hath hired [07936] me, and I am his priest [03548]. 7 18 5 And they said [0559] unto him, Ask counsel [07592], we pray thee, of God [0430], that we may know [03045] whether our way [01870] which we go [01980] shall be prosperous [06743]. 7 18 6 And the priest [03548] said [0559] unto them, Go [03212] in peace [07965]: before [05227] the LORD [03068] is your way [01870] wherein ye go [03212]. 7 18 7 Then the five [02568] men [0582] departed [03212], and came [0935] to Laish [03919], and saw [07200] the people [05971] that were therein [07130], how they dwelt [03427] careless [0983], after the manner [04941] of the Zidonians [06722], quiet [08252] and secure [0982]; and there was no magistrate [03423] [06114] in the land [0776], that might put them to shame [03637] in any thing [01697]; and they were far [07350] from the Zidonians [06722], and had no business [01697] with any man [0120]. 7 18 8 And they came [0935] unto their brethren [0251] to Zorah [06881] and Eshtaol [0847]: and their brethren [0251] said [0559] unto them, What say ye? 7 18 9 And they said [0559], Arise [06965], that we may go up [05927] against them: for we have seen [07200] the land [0776], and, behold, it is very [03966] good [02896]: and are ye still [02814]? be not slothful [06101] to go [03212], and to enter [0935] to possess [03423] the land [0776]. 7 18 10 When ye go [0935], ye shall come [0935] unto a people [05971] secure [0982], and to a large [07342] land [0776]: for God [0430] hath given [05414] it into your hands [03027]; a place [04725] where there is no want [04270] of any thing [01697] that is in the earth [0776]. 7 18 11 And there went [05265] from thence of the family [04940] of the Danites [01839], out of Zorah [06881] and out of Eshtaol [0847], six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] appointed [02296] with weapons [03627] of war [04421]. 7 18 12 And they went up [05927], and pitched [02583] in Kirjathjearim [07157], in Judah [03063]: wherefore they called [07121] that place [04725] Mahanehdan [04265] unto this day [03117]: behold, it is behind [0310] Kirjathjearim [07157]. 7 18 13 And they passed [05674] thence unto mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and came [0935] unto the house [01004] of Micah [04318]. 7 18 14 Then answered [06030] the five [02568] men [0582] that went [01980] to spy out [07270] the country [0776] of Laish [03919], and said [0559] unto their brethren [0251], Do ye know [03045] that there is [03426] in these houses [01004] an ephod [0646], and teraphim [08655], and a graven image [06459], and a molten image [04541]? now therefore consider [03045] what ye have to do [06213]. 7 18 15 And they turned [05493] thitherward, and came [0935] to the house [01004] of the young man [05288] the Levite [03881], even unto the house [01004] of Micah [04318], and saluted [07592] [07965] him. 7 18 16 And the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] appointed [02296] with their weapons [03627] of war [04421], which were of the children [01121] of Dan [01835], stood [05324] by the entering [06607] of the gate [08179]. 7 18 17 And the five [02568] men [0582] that went [01980] to spy out [07270] the land [0776] went up [05927], and came in [0935] thither, and took [03947] the graven image [06459], and the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the molten image [04541]: and the priest [03548] stood [05324] in the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] with the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] that were appointed [02296] with weapons [03627] of war [04421]. 7 18 18 And these went [0935] into Micah's [04318] house [01004], and fetched [03947] the carved image [06459], the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the molten image [04541]. Then said [0559] the priest [03548] unto them, What do [06213] ye? 7 18 19 And they said [0559] unto him, Hold thy peace [02790], lay [07760] thine hand [03027] upon thy mouth [06310], and go [03212] with us, and be to us [01961] a father [01] and a priest [03548]: is it better [02896] for thee to be a priest [03548] unto the house [01004] of one [0259] man [0376], or that thou be a priest [03548] unto a tribe [07626] and a family [04940] in Israel [03478]? 7 18 20 And the priest's [03548] heart [03820] was glad [03190], and he took [03947] the ephod [0646], and the teraphim [08655], and the graven image [06459], and went in [0935] the midst [07130] of the people [05971]. 7 18 21 So they turned [06437] and departed [03212], and put [07760] the little ones [02945] and the cattle [04735] and the carriage [03520] before [06440] them. 7 18 22 And when they were a good way [07368] from the house [01004] of Micah [04318], the men [0582] that were in the houses [01004] near to Micah's [04318] house [01004] were gathered together [02199], and overtook [01692] the children [01121] of Dan [01835]. 7 18 23 And they cried [07121] unto the children [01121] of Dan [01835]. And they turned [05437] their faces [06440], and said [0559] unto Micah [04318], What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company [02199]? 7 18 24 And he said [0559], Ye have taken away [03947] my gods [0430] which I made [06213], and the priest [03548], and ye are gone away [03212]: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say [0559] unto me, What aileth thee? 7 18 25 And the children [01121] of Dan [01835] said [0559] unto him, Let not thy voice [06963] be heard [08085] among us, lest angry [04751] [05315] fellows [0582] run [06293] upon thee, and thou lose [0622] thy life [05315], with the lives [05315] of thy household [01004]. 7 18 26 And the children [01121] of Dan [01835] went [03212] their way [01870]: and when Micah [04318] saw [07200] that they were too strong [02389] for him, he turned [06437] and went back [07725] unto his house [01004]. 7 18 27 And they took [03947] the things which Micah [04318] had made [06213], and the priest [03548] which he had, and came [0935] unto Laish [03919], unto a people [05971] that were at quiet [08252] and secure [0982]: and they smote [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], and burnt [08313] the city [05892] with fire [0784]. 7 18 28 And there was no deliverer [05337], because it was far [07350] from Zidon [06721], and they had no business [01697] with any man [0120]; and it was in the valley [06010] that lieth by Bethrehob [01050]. And they built [01129] a city [05892], and dwelt [03427] therein. 7 18 29 And they called [07121] the name [08034] of the city [05892] Dan [01835], after the name [08034] of Dan [01835] their father [01], who was born [03205] unto Israel [03478]: howbeit [0199] the name [08034] of the city [05892] was Laish [03919] at the first [07223]. 7 18 30 And the children [01121] of Dan [01835] set up [06965] the graven image [06459]: and Jonathan [03083], the son [01121] of Gershom [01647], the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], he and his sons [01121] were priests [03548] to the tribe [07626] of Dan [01839] until the day [03117] of the captivity [01540] of the land [0776]. 7 18 31 And they set them up [07760] Micah's [04318] graven image [06459], which he made [06213], all the time [03117] that the house [01004] of God [0430] was in Shiloh [07887]. 7 19 1 And it came to pass in those days [03117], when there was no king [04428] in Israel [03478], that there was a certain [0376] Levite [03881] sojourning [01481] on the side [03411] of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], who took [03947] to him a concubine [0802] [06370] out of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063]. 7 19 2 And his concubine [06370] played the whore [02181] against him, and went away [03212] from him unto her father's [01] house [01004] to Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063], and was there four [0702] whole months [02320] [03117]. 7 19 3 And her husband [0376] arose [06965], and went [03212] after [0310] her, to speak [01696] friendly [03820] unto her, and to bring her again [07725], having his servant [05288] with him, and a couple [06776] of asses [02543]: and she brought [0935] him into her father's [01] house [01004]: and when the father [01] of the damsel [05291] saw [07200] him, he rejoiced [08055] to meet [07125] him. 7 19 4 And his father in law [02859], the damsel's [05291] father [01], retained [02388] him; and he abode [03427] with him three [07969] days [03117]: so they did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and lodged [03885] there. 7 19 5 And it came to pass on the fourth [07243] day [03117], when they arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], that he rose up [06965] to depart [03212]: and the damsel's [05291] father [01] said [0559] unto his son in law [02860], Comfort [05582] thine heart [03820] with a morsel [06595] of bread [03899], and afterward [0310] go your way [03212]. 7 19 6 And they sat down [03427], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354] both [08147] of them together [03162]: for the damsel's [05291] father [01] had said [0559] unto the man [0376], Be content [02974], I pray thee, and tarry all night [03885], and let thine heart [03820] be merry [03190]. 7 19 7 And when the man [0376] rose up [06965] to depart [03212], his father in law [02859] urged [06484] him: therefore he lodged [03885] there again [07725]. 7 19 8 And he arose early [07925] in the morning [01242] on the fifth [02549] day [03117] to depart [03212]: and the damsel's [05291] father [01] said [0559], Comfort [05582] thine heart [03824], I pray thee. And they tarried [04102] until afternoon [03117] [05186], and they did eat [0398] both [08147] of them. 7 19 9 And when the man [0376] rose up [06965] to depart [03212], he, and his concubine [06370], and his servant [05288], his father in law [02859], the damsel's [05291] father [01], said [0559] unto him, Behold, now the day [03117] draweth [07503] toward evening [06150], I pray you tarry all night [03885]: behold, the day [03117] groweth to an end [02583], lodge [03885] here, that thine heart [03824] may be merry [03190]; and to morrow [04279] get you early [07925] on your way [01870], that thou mayest go [01980] home [0168]. 7 19 10 But the man [0376] would [014] not tarry that night [03885], but he rose up [06965] and departed [03212], and came [0935] over against [05227] Jebus [02982], which is Jerusalem [03389]; and there were with him two [06776] asses [02543] saddled [02280], his concubine [06370] also was with him. 7 19 11 And when they were by Jebus [02982], the day [03117] was far [03966] spent [07286]; and the servant [05288] said [0559] unto his master [0113], Come [03212], I pray thee, and let us turn in [05493] into this city [05892] of the Jebusites [02983], and lodge [03885] in it. 7 19 12 And his master [0113] said [0559] unto him, We will not turn aside [05493] hither into the city [05892] of a stranger [05237], that is not of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; we will pass over [05674] to Gibeah [01390]. 7 19 13 And he said [0559] unto his servant [05288], Come [03212], and let us draw near [07126] to one [0259] of these places [04725] to lodge all night [03885], in Gibeah [01390], or in Ramah [07414]. 7 19 14 And they passed on [05674] and went their way [03212]; and the sun [08121] went down [0935] upon them when they were by [0681] Gibeah [01390], which belongeth to Benjamin [01144]. 7 19 15 And they turned aside [05493] thither, to go in [0935] and to lodge [03885] in Gibeah [01390]: and when he went in [0935], he sat him down [03427] in a street [07339] of the city [05892]: for there was no man [0376] that took [0622] them into his house [01004] to lodging [03885]. 7 19 16 And, behold, there came [0935] an old [02205] man [0376] from his work [04639] out of the field [07704] at even [06153], which was also [0376] of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]; and he sojourned [01481] in Gibeah [01390]: but the men [0582] of the place [04725] were Benjamites [01145]. 7 19 17 And when he had lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], he saw [07200] a wayfaring [0732] man [0376] in the street [07339] of the city [05892]: and the old [02205] man [0376] said [0559], Whither goest [03212] thou? and whence [0370] comest [0935] thou? 7 19 18 And he said [0559] unto him, We are passing [05674] from Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063] toward the side [03411] of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]; from thence am I: and I went [03212] to Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063], but I am now going [01980] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; and there is no man [0376] that receiveth [0622] me to house [01004]. 7 19 19 Yet there is [03426] both straw [08401] and provender [04554] for our asses [02543]; and there is bread [03899] and wine [03196] also for me, and for thy handmaid [0519], and for the young man [05288] which is with thy servants [05650]: there is no want [04270] of any thing [01697]. 7 19 20 And the old [02205] man [0376] said [0559], Peace [07965] be with thee; howsoever [07535] let all thy wants [04270] lie upon me; only lodge [03885] not in the street [07339]. 7 19 21 So he brought [0935] him into his house [01004], and gave provender [01101] unto the asses [02543]: and they washed [07364] their feet [07272], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354]. 7 19 22 Now as they were making their hearts [03820] merry [03190], behold, the men [0582] of the city [05892], certain [0582] sons [01121] of Belial [01100], beset [05437] the house [01004] round about [05437], and beat [01849] at the door [01817], and spake [0559] to the master [01167] of the house [01004], the old [02205] man [0376], saying [0559], Bring forth [03318] the man [0376] that came [0935] into thine house [01004], that we may know [03045] him. 7 19 23 And the man [0376], the master [01167] of the house [01004], went out [03318] unto them, and said [0559] unto them, Nay [0408], my brethren [0251], nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly [07489]; seeing [0310] that this man [0376] is come [0935] into mine house [01004], do [06213] not this folly [05039]. 7 19 24 Behold, here is my daughter [01323] a maiden [01330], and his concubine [06370]; them I will bring out [03318] now, and humble [06031] ye them, and do [06213] with them what seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto you: but unto this man [0376] do [06213] not so [02063] vile [05039] a thing [01697]. 7 19 25 But the men [0582] would [014] not hearken [08085] to him: so the man [0376] took [02388] his concubine [06370], and brought [03318] her forth [02351] unto them; and they knew [03045] her, and abused [05953] her all the night [03915] until the morning [01242]: and when the day [07837] began to spring [05927], they let her go [07971]. 7 19 26 Then came [0935] the woman [0802] in the dawning [06437] of the day [01242], and fell down [05307] at the door [06607] of the man's [0376] house [01004] where her lord [0113] was, till it was light [0216]. 7 19 27 And her lord [0113] rose up [06965] in the morning [01242], and opened [06605] the doors [01817] of the house [01004], and went out [03318] to go [03212] his way [01870]: and, behold, the woman [0802] his concubine [06370] was fallen down [05307] at the door [06607] of the house [01004], and her hands [03027] were upon the threshold [05592]. 7 19 28 And he said [0559] unto her, Up [06965], and let us be going [03212]. But none answered [06030]. Then the man [0376] took [03947] her up upon an ass [02543], and the man [0376] rose up [06965], and gat [03212] him unto his place [04725]. 7 19 29 And when he was come [0935] into his house [01004], he took [03947] a knife [03979], and laid hold [02388] on his concubine [06370], and divided [05408] her, together with her bones [06106], into twelve [08147] [06240] pieces [05409], and sent [07971] her into all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478]. 7 19 30 And it was so [01961], that all that saw [07200] it said [0559], There was no such deed [02063] done nor seen [07200] from the day [03117] that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] unto this day [03117]: consider [07760] of it, take advice [05779], and speak [01696] your minds. 7 20 1 Then all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went out [03318], and the congregation [05712] was gathered together [06950] as one [0259] man [0376], from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884], with the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], unto the LORD [03068] in Mizpeh [04709]. 7 20 2 And the chief [06438] of all the people [05971], even of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], presented [03320] themselves in the assembly [06951] of the people [05971] of God [0430], four [0702] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] footmen [0376] [07273] that drew [08025] sword [02719]. 7 20 3 (Now the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] heard [08085] that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were gone up [05927] to Mizpeh [04709].) Then said [0559] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Tell [01696] us, how was [01961] this wickedness [07451]? 7 20 4 And the Levite [03881] [0376], the husband [0376] of the woman [0802] that was slain [07523], answered [06030] and said [0559], I came [0935] into Gibeah [01390] that belongeth to Benjamin [01144], I and my concubine [06370], to lodge [03885]. 7 20 5 And the men [01167] of Gibeah [01390] rose [06965] against me, and beset [05437] the house [01004] round about [05437] upon me by night [03915], and thought [01819] to have slain [02026] me: and my concubine [06370] have they forced [06031], that she is dead [04191]. 7 20 6 And I took [0270] my concubine [06370], and cut her in pieces [05408], and sent [07971] her throughout all the country [07704] of the inheritance [05159] of Israel [03478]: for they have committed [06213] lewdness [02154] and folly [05039] in Israel [03478]. 7 20 7 Behold, ye are all children [01121] of Israel [03478]; give [03051] here [01988] your advice [01697] and counsel [06098]. 7 20 8 And all the people [05971] arose [06965] as one [0259] man [0376], saying [0559], We will not any [0376] of us go [03212] to his tent [0168], neither will we any [0376] of us turn [05493] into his house [01004]. 7 20 9 But now this shall be the thing [01697] which we will do [06213] to Gibeah [01390]; we will go up by lot [01486] against it; 7 20 10 And we will take [03947] ten [06235] men [0582] of an hundred [03967] throughout all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], and an hundred [03967] of a thousand [0505], and a thousand [0505] out of ten thousand [07233], to fetch [03947] victual [06720] for the people [05971], that they may do [06213], when they come [0935] to Gibeah [01387] of Benjamin [01144], according to all the folly [05039] that they have wrought [06213] in Israel [03478]. 7 20 11 So all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] were gathered [0622] against the city [05892], knit together [02270] as one [0259] man [0376]. 7 20 12 And the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] men [0582] through all the tribe [07626] of Benjamin [01144], saying [0559], What wickedness [07451] is this that is done [01961] among you? 7 20 13 Now therefore deliver [05414] us the men [0582], the children [01121] of Belial [01100], which are in Gibeah [01390], that we may put them to death [04191], and put away [01197] evil [07451] from Israel [03478]. But the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] would [014] not hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of their brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: 7 20 14 But the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] gathered themselves together [0622] out of the cities [05892] unto Gibeah [01390], to go out [03318] to battle [04421] against the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 7 20 15 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] were numbered [06485] at that time [03117] out of the cities [05892] twenty [06242] and six [08337] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] sword [02719], beside the inhabitants [03427] of Gibeah [01390], which were numbered [06485] seven [07651] hundred [03967] chosen [0977] men [0376]. 7 20 16 Among all this people [05971] there were seven [07651] hundred [03967] chosen [0977] men [0376] lefthanded [0334] [03027] [03225]; every one could sling [07049] stones [068] at an hair [08185] breadth, and not miss [02398]. 7 20 17 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478], beside Benjamin [01144], were numbered [06485] four [0702] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] sword [02719]: all these were men [0376] of war [04421]. 7 20 18 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] arose [06965], and went up [05927] to the house [01004] of God [0430] [01008], and asked [07592] counsel of God [0430], and said [0559], Which [04310] of us shall go up [05927] first [08462] to the battle [04421] against the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Judah [03063] shall go up first [08462]. 7 20 19 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] rose up [06965] in the morning [01242], and encamped [02583] against Gibeah [01390]. 7 20 20 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] went out [03318] to battle [04421] against Benjamin [01144]; and the men [0376] of Israel [03478] put themselves in array [06186] to fight [04421] against them at Gibeah [01390]. 7 20 21 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] came forth [03318] out of Gibeah [01390], and destroyed down [07843] to the ground [0776] of the Israelites [03478] that day [03117] twenty [06242] and two [08147] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 7 20 22 And the people [05971] the men [0376] of Israel [03478] encouraged [02388] themselves, and set their battle [04421] again [03254] in array [06186] in the place [04725] where they put themselves in array [06186] the first [07223] day [03117]. 7 20 23 (And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went up [05927] and wept [01058] before [06440] the LORD [03068] until even [06153], and asked [07592] counsel of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Shall I go up [05066] again [03254] to battle [04421] against the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] my brother [0251]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Go up [05927] against him.) 7 20 24 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] came near [07126] against the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] the second [08145] day [03117]. 7 20 25 And Benjamin [01144] went forth [03318] against [07125] them out of Gibeah [01390] the second [08145] day [03117], and destroyed down [07843] to the ground [0776] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] again eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505] men [0376]; all these drew [08025] the sword [02719]. 7 20 26 Then all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and all the people [05971], went up [05927], and came [0935] unto the house [01004] of God [0430] [01008], and wept [01058], and sat [03427] there before [06440] the LORD [03068], and fasted [06684] that day [03117] until even [06153], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 7 20 27 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], (for the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of God [0430] was there in those days [03117], 7 20 28 And Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175], stood [05975] before [06440] it in those days [03117],) saying [0559], Shall I yet again [03254] go out [03318] to battle [04421] against the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] my brother [0251], or shall I cease [02308]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Go up [05927]; for to morrow [04279] I will deliver [05414] them into thine hand [03027]. 7 20 29 And Israel [03478] set [07760] liers in wait [0693] round about [05439] Gibeah [01390]. 7 20 30 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went up [05927] against the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] on the third [07992] day [03117], and put themselves in array [06186] against Gibeah [01390], as at other times [06471]. 7 20 31 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] went out [03318] against [07125] the people [05971], and were drawn away [05423] from the city [05892]; and they began [02490] to smite [05221] of the people [05971], and kill [02491], as at other times [06471], in the highways [04546], of which one [0259] goeth up [05927] to the house [01004] of God [0430] [01008], and the other [0259] to Gibeah [01390] in the field [07704], about thirty [07970] men [0376] of Israel [03478]. 7 20 32 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] said [0559], They are smitten down [05062] before [06440] us, as at the first [07223]. But the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Let us flee [05127], and draw [05423] them from the city [05892] unto the highways [04546]. 7 20 33 And all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] rose up [06965] out of their place [04725], and put themselves in array [06186] at Baaltamar [01193]: and the liers in wait [0693] of Israel [03478] came forth [01518] out of their places [04725], even out of the meadows [04629] of Gibeah [01387]. 7 20 34 And there came [0935] against [05048] Gibeah [01390] ten [06235] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376] out of all Israel [03478], and the battle [04421] was sore [03513]: but they knew [03045] not that evil [07451] was near [05060] them. 7 20 35 And the LORD [03068] smote [05062] Benjamin [01144] before [06440] Israel [03478]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] destroyed [07843] of the Benjamites [01145] that day [03117] twenty [06242] and five [02568] thousand [0505] and an hundred [03967] men [0376]: all these drew [08025] the sword [02719]. 7 20 36 So the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] saw [07200] that they were smitten [05062]: for the men [0376] of Israel [03478] gave [05414] place [04725] to the Benjamites [01145], because they trusted [0982] unto the liers in wait [0693] which they had set [07760] beside Gibeah [01390]. 7 20 37 And the liers in wait [0693] hasted [02363], and rushed [06584] upon Gibeah [01390]; and the liers in wait [0693] drew themselves along [04900], and smote [05221] all the city [05892] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 7 20 38 Now there was an appointed sign [04150] between the men [0376] of Israel [03478] and [05973] the liers in wait [0693], that they should make a great [07235] flame [04864] with smoke [06227] rise up [05927] out of the city [05892]. 7 20 39 And when the men [0376] of Israel [03478] retired [02015] in the battle [04421], Benjamin [01144] began [02490] to smite [05221] and kill [02491] of the men [0376] of Israel [03478] about thirty [07970] persons [0376]: for they said [0559], Surely [05062] they are smitten down [05062] before [06440] us, as in the first [07223] battle [04421]. 7 20 40 But when the flame [04864] began [02490] to arise up [05927] out of the city [05892] with a pillar [05982] of smoke [06227], the Benjamites [01145] looked [06437] behind [0310] them, and, behold, the flame [03632] of the city [05892] ascended up [05927] to heaven [08064]. 7 20 41 And when the men [0376] of Israel [03478] turned again [02015], the men [0376] of Benjamin [01144] were amazed [0926]: for they saw [07200] that evil [07451] was come [05060] upon them. 7 20 42 Therefore they turned [06437] their backs before [06440] the men [0376] of Israel [03478] unto the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057]; but the battle [04421] overtook [01692] them; and them which came out of the cities [05892] they destroyed [07843] in the midst [08432] of them. 7 20 43 Thus they inclosed [03803] the Benjamites [01145] round about [03803], and chased [07291] them, and trode them down [01869] with ease [04496] over against [05227] Gibeah [01390] toward the sunrising [04217] [08121]. 7 20 44 And there fell [05307] of Benjamin [01144] eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505] men [0376]; all these were men [0582] of valour [02428]. 7 20 45 And they turned [06437] and fled [05127] toward the wilderness [04057] unto the rock [05553] of Rimmon [07417]: and they gleaned [05953] of them in the highways [04546] five [02568] thousand [0505] men [0376]; and pursued [01692] hard after [0310] them unto Gidom [01440], and slew [05221] two thousand [0505] men [0376] of them. 7 20 46 So that all which fell [05307] that day [03117] of Benjamin [01144] were twenty [06242] and five [02568] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] the sword [02719]; all these were men [0582] of valour [02428]. 7 20 47 But six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] turned [06437] and fled [05127] to the wilderness [04057] unto the rock [05553] Rimmon [07417], and abode [03427] in the rock [05553] Rimmon [07417] four [0702] months [02320]. 7 20 48 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] turned again [07725] upon the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], and smote [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], as well the men [04974] of every city [05892], as [05704] the beast [0929], and all that came to hand [04672]: also they set [07971] on fire [0784] all the cities [05892] that they came to [04672]. 7 21 1 Now the men [0376] of Israel [03478] had sworn [07650] in Mizpeh [04709], saying [0559], There shall not any [0376] of us give [05414] his daughter [01323] unto Benjamin [01144] to wife [0802]. 7 21 2 And the people [05971] came [0935] to the house [01004] of God [0430] [01008], and abode [03427] there till even [06153] before [06440] God [0430], and lifted up [05375] their voices [06963], and wept [01058] [01065] sore [01419]; 7 21 3 And said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], why is this come to pass in Israel [03478], that there should be to day [03117] one [0259] tribe [07626] lacking [06485] in Israel [03478]? 7 21 4 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that the people [05971] rose early [07925], and built [01129] there an altar [04196], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002]. 7 21 5 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Who is there among all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] that [0834] came [05927] not up with the congregation [06951] unto the LORD [03068]? For they had made a great [01419] oath [07621] concerning him that came not up [05927] to the LORD [03068] to Mizpeh [04709], saying [0559], He shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191]. 7 21 6 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] repented [05162] them for Benjamin [01144] their brother [0251], and said [0559], There is one [0259] tribe [07626] cut off [01438] from Israel [03478] this day [03117]. 7 21 7 How shall we do [06213] for wives [0802] for them that remain [03498], seeing we have sworn [07650] by the LORD [03068] that we will not give [05414] them of our daughters [01323] to wives [0802]? 7 21 8 And they said [0559], What one [0259] is there of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] that came not up [05927] to Mizpeh [04709] to the LORD [03068]? And, behold, there came [0935] none [0376] to the camp [04264] from Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] to the assembly [06951]. 7 21 9 For the people [05971] were numbered [06485], and, behold, there were none [0376] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] there. 7 21 10 And the congregation [05712] sent [07971] thither twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] men [0376] of the valiantest [01121] [02428], and commanded [06680] them, saying [0559], Go [03212] and smite [05221] the inhabitants [03427] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], with the women [0802] and the children [02945]. 7 21 11 And this is the thing [01697] that ye shall do [06213], Ye shall utterly destroy [02763] every male [02145], and every woman [0802] that hath lain [04904] by man [03045]. 7 21 12 And they found [04672] among the inhabitants [03427] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] four [0702] hundred [03967] young [05291] virgins [01330], that had known [03045] no man [0376] by lying [04904] with any male [02145]: and they brought [0935] them unto the camp [04264] to Shiloh [07887], which is in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. 7 21 13 And the whole congregation [05712] sent [07971] some to speak [01696] to the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] that were in the rock [05553] Rimmon [07417], and to call [07121] peaceably [07965] unto them. 7 21 14 And Benjamin [01144] came again [07725] at that time [06256]; and they gave [05414] them wives [0802] which they had saved alive [02421] of the women [0802] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568]: and yet so they sufficed [04672] them not. 7 21 15 And the people [05971] repented [05162] them for Benjamin [01144], because that the LORD [03068] had made [06213] a breach [06556] in the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 7 21 16 Then the elders [02205] of the congregation [05712] said [0559], How shall we do [06213] for wives [0802] for them that remain [03498], seeing the women [0802] are destroyed [08045] out of Benjamin [01144]? 7 21 17 And they said [0559], There must be an inheritance [03425] for them that be escaped [06413] of Benjamin [01144], that a tribe [07626] be not destroyed [04229] out of Israel [03478]. 7 21 18 Howbeit we may [03201] not give [05414] them wives [0802] of our daughters [01323]: for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have sworn [07650], saying [0559], Cursed [0779] be he that giveth [05414] a wife [0802] to Benjamin [01144]. 7 21 19 Then they said [0559], Behold, there is a feast [02282] of the LORD [03068] in Shiloh [07887] yearly [03117] [03117] in a place which is on the north side [06828] of Bethel [01008], on the east side [04217] [08121] of the highway [04546] that goeth up [05927] from Bethel [01008] to Shechem [07927], and on the south [05045] of Lebonah [03829]. 7 21 20 Therefore they commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], saying [0559], Go [03212] and lie in wait [0693] in the vineyards [03754]; 7 21 21 And see [07200], and, behold, if the daughters [01323] of Shiloh [07887] come out [03318] to dance [02342] in dances [04246], then come ye out [03318] of the vineyards [03754], and catch [02414] you every man [0376] his wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Shiloh [07887], and go [01980] to the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144]. 7 21 22 And it shall be, when their fathers [01] or their brethren [0251] come [0935] unto us to complain [07378], that we will say [0559] unto them, Be favourable [02603] unto them for our sakes: because we reserved [03947] not to each man [0376] his wife [0802] in the war [04421]: for ye did not give [05414] unto them at this time [06256], that ye should be guilty [0816]. 7 21 23 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] did so [06213], and took [05375] them wives [0802], according to their number [04557], of them that danced [02342], whom they caught [01497]: and they went [03212] and returned [07725] unto their inheritance [05159], and repaired [01129] the cities [05892], and dwelt [03427] in them. 7 21 24 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] departed [01980] thence at that time [06256], every man [0376] to his tribe [07626] and to his family [04940], and they went out [03318] from thence every man [0376] to his inheritance [05159]. 7 21 25 In those days [03117] there was no king [04428] in Israel [03478]: every man [0376] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in his own eyes [05869]. 8 1 1 Now it came to pass in the days [03117] when the judges [08199] ruled [08199], that there was a famine [07458] in the land [0776]. And a certain man [0376] of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063] went [03212] to sojourn [01481] in the country [07704] of Moab [04124], he, and his wife [0802], and his two [08147] sons [01121]. 8 1 2 And the name [08034] of the man [0376] was Elimelech [0458], and the name [08034] of his wife [0802] Naomi [05281], and the name [08034] of his two [08147] sons [01121] Mahlon [04248] and Chilion [03630], Ephrathites [0673] of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063]. And they came [0935] into the country [07704] of Moab [04124], and continued there. 8 1 3 And Elimelech [0458] Naomi's [05281] husband [0376] died [04191]; and she was left [07604], and her two [08147] sons [01121]. 8 1 4 And they took [05375] them wives [0802] of the women [0802] of Moab [04125]; the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Orpah [06204], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Ruth [07327]: and they dwelled [03427] there about ten [06235] years [08141]. 8 1 5 And Mahlon [04248] and Chilion [03630] died [04191] also both [08147] of them; and the woman [0802] was left [07604] of her two [08147] sons [03206] and her husband [0376]. 8 1 6 Then she arose [06965] with her daughters in law [03618], that she might return [07725] from the country [07704] of Moab [04124]: for she had heard [08085] in the country [07704] of Moab [04124] how that the LORD [03068] had visited [06485] his people [05971] in giving [05414] them bread [03899]. 8 1 7 Wherefore she went forth [03318] out of the place [04725] where she was, and her two [08147] daughters in law [03618] with her; and they went [03212] on the way [01870] to return [07725] unto the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. 8 1 8 And Naomi [05281] said [0559] unto her two [08147] daughters in law [03618], Go [03212], return [07725] each [0802] to her mother's [0517] house [01004]: the LORD [03068] deal [06213] kindly [02617] with you, as ye have dealt [06213] with the dead [04191], and with me. 8 1 9 The LORD [03068] grant [05414] you that ye may find [04672] rest [04496], each [0802] of you in the house [01004] of her husband [0376]. Then she kissed [05401] them; and they lifted up [05375] their voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 8 1 10 And they said [0559] unto her, Surely we will return [07725] with thee unto thy people [05971]. 8 1 11 And Naomi [05281] said [0559], Turn again [07725], my daughters [01323]: why will ye go [03212] with me? are there yet any more sons [01121] in my womb [04578], that they may be your husbands [0582]? 8 1 12 Turn again [07725], my daughters [01323], go [03212] your way; for I am too old [02204] to have an husband [0376]. If I should say [0559], I have [03426] hope [08615], if I should have an husband [0376] also to night [03915], and should also bear [03205] sons [01121]; 8 1 13 Would ye tarry [07663] for them [03860] till they were grown [01431]? would ye stay [05702] for them [03860] from having husbands [0376]? nay, my daughters [01323]; for it grieveth [04843] me much [03966] for your sakes that the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] is gone out [03318] against me. 8 1 14 And they lifted up [05375] their voice [06963], and wept again [01058]: and Orpah [06204] kissed [05401] her mother in law [02545]; but Ruth [07327] clave [01692] unto her. 8 1 15 And she said [0559], Behold, thy sister in law [02994] is gone back [07725] unto her people [05971], and unto her gods [0430]: return [07725] thou after [0310] thy sister in law [02994]. 8 1 16 And Ruth [07327] said [0559], Intreat [06293] me not to leave [05800] thee, or to return [07725] from following after [0310] thee: for whither thou goest [03212], I will go [03212]; and where thou lodgest [03885], I will lodge [03885]: thy people [05971] shall be my people [05971], and thy God [0430] my God [0430]: 8 1 17 Where thou diest [04191], will I die [04191], and there will I be buried [06912]: the LORD [03068] do [06213] so to me, and more [03254] also, if ought but death [04194] part [06504] thee and me. 8 1 18 When she saw [07200] that she was stedfastly minded [0553] to go [03212] with her, then she left [02308] speaking [01696] unto her. 8 1 19 So they two [08147] went [03212] until they came [0935] to Bethlehem [01035]. And it came to pass, when they were come [0935] to Bethlehem [01035], that all the city [05892] was moved [01949] about them, and they said [0559], Is this Naomi [05281]? 8 1 20 And she said [0559] unto them, Call [07121] me not Naomi [05281], call [07121] me Mara [04755]: for the Almighty [07706] hath dealt very [03966] bitterly [04843] with me. 8 1 21 I went out [01980] full [04392], and the LORD [03068] hath brought me home again [07725] empty [07387]: why then call [07121] ye me Naomi [05281], seeing the LORD [03068] hath testified [06030] against me, and the Almighty [07706] hath afflicted [07489] me? 8 1 22 So Naomi [05281] returned [07725], and Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], her daughter in law [03618], with her, which returned [07725] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124]: and they came [0935] to Bethlehem [01035] in the beginning [08462] of barley [08184] harvest [07105]. 8 2 1 And Naomi [05281] had a kinsman [04129] [03045] of her husband's [0376], a mighty [01368] man [0376] of wealth [02428], of the family [04940] of Elimelech [0458]; and his name [08034] was Boaz [01162]. 8 2 2 And Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125] said [0559] unto Naomi [05281], Let me now go [03212] to the field [07704], and glean [03950] ears of corn [07641] after [0310] him in whose sight [05869] I shall find [04672] grace [02580]. And she said [0559] unto her, Go [03212], my daughter [01323]. 8 2 3 And she went [03212], and came [0935], and gleaned [03950] in the field [07704] after [0310] the reapers [07114]: and her hap [04745] was to light [07136] on a part [02513] of the field [07704] belonging unto Boaz [01162], who was of the kindred [04940] of Elimelech [0458]. 8 2 4 And, behold, Boaz [01162] came [0935] from Bethlehem [01035], and said [0559] unto the reapers [07114], The LORD [03068] be with you. And they answered [0559] him, The LORD [03068] bless [01288] thee. 8 2 5 Then said [0559] Boaz [01162] unto his servant [05288] that was set [05324] over the reapers [07114], Whose damsel [05291] is this? 8 2 6 And the servant [05288] that was set [05324] over the reapers [07114] answered [06030] and said [0559], It is the Moabitish [04125] damsel [05291] that came back [07725] with Naomi [05281] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124]: 8 2 7 And she said [0559], I pray you, let me glean [03950] and gather [0622] after [0310] the reapers [07114] among the sheaves [06016]: so she came [0935], and hath continued [05975] even [0227] from the morning [01242] until now, that she tarried [03427] a little [04592] in the house [01004]. 8 2 8 Then said [0559] Boaz [01162] unto Ruth [07327], Hearest [08085] thou not, my daughter [01323]? Go [03212] not to glean [03950] in another [0312] field [07704], neither go [05674] from hence, but abide [01692] here fast by my maidens [05291]: 8 2 9 Let thine eyes [05869] be on the field [07704] that they do reap [07114], and go [01980] thou after [0310] them: have I not charged [06680] the young men [05288] that they shall not touch [05060] thee? and when thou art athirst [06770], go [01980] unto the vessels [03627], and drink [08354] of that which the young men [05288] have drawn [07579]. 8 2 10 Then she fell [05307] on her face [06440], and bowed [07812] herself to the ground [0776], and said [0559] unto him, Why have I found [04672] grace [02580] in thine eyes [05869], that thou shouldest take knowledge [05234] of me, seeing I am a stranger [05237]? 8 2 11 And Boaz [01162] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto her, It hath fully [05046] been shewed [05046] me, all that thou hast done [06213] unto thy mother in law [02545] since [0310] the death [04194] of thine husband [0376]: and how thou hast left [05800] thy father [01] and thy mother [0517], and the land [0776] of thy nativity [04138], and art come [03212] unto a people [05971] which thou knewest [03045] not heretofore [08543] [08032]. 8 2 12 The LORD [03068] recompense [07999] thy work [06467], and a full [08003] reward [04909] be given thee of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], under whose wings [03671] thou art come [0935] to trust [02620]. 8 2 13 Then she said [0559], Let me find [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869], my lord [0113]; for that thou hast comforted [05162] me, and for that thou hast spoken [01696] friendly [03820] unto thine handmaid [08198], though I be not like unto one [0259] of thine handmaidens [08198]. 8 2 14 And Boaz [01162] said [0559] unto her, At mealtime [06256] [0400] come [05066] thou hither [01988], and eat [0398] of the bread [03899], and dip [02881] thy morsel [06595] in the vinegar [02558]. And she sat [03427] beside [06654] the reapers [07114]: and he reached [06642] her parched [07039] corn, and she did eat [0398], and was sufficed [07646], and left [03498]. 8 2 15 And when she was risen up [06965] to glean [03950], Boaz [01162] commanded [06680] his young men [05288], saying [0559], Let her glean [03950] even among the sheaves [06016], and reproach [03637] her not: 8 2 16 And let fall [07997] also some of the handfuls [06653] of purpose [07997] for her, and leave [05800] them, that she may glean [03950] them, and rebuke [01605] her not. 8 2 17 So she gleaned [03950] in the field [07704] until even [06153], and beat out [02251] that she had gleaned [03950]: and it was about an ephah [0374] of barley [08184]. 8 2 18 And she took it up [05375], and went [0935] into the city [05892]: and her mother in law [02545] saw [07200] what she had gleaned [03950]: and she brought forth [03318], and gave [05414] to her that she had reserved [03498] after she was sufficed [07648]. 8 2 19 And her mother in law [02545] said [0559] unto her, Where hast thou gleaned [03950] to day [03117]? and where [0375] wroughtest [06213] thou? blessed [01288] be he that did take knowledge [05234] of thee. And she shewed [05046] her mother in law [02545] with whom she had wrought [06213], and said [0559], The man's [0376] name [08034] with whom I wrought [06213] to day [03117] is Boaz [01162]. 8 2 20 And Naomi [05281] said [0559] unto her daughter in law [03618], Blessed [01288] be he of the LORD [03068], who hath not left off [05800] his kindness [02617] to the living [02416] and to the dead [04191]. And Naomi [05281] said [0559] unto her, The man [0376] is near of kin [07138] unto us, one of our next kinsmen [01350]. 8 2 21 And Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125] said [0559], He said [0559] unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast [01692] by my young men [05288], until they have ended [03615] all my harvest [07105]. 8 2 22 And Naomi [05281] said [0559] unto Ruth [07327] her daughter in law [03618], It is good [02896], my daughter [01323], that thou go out [03318] with his maidens [05291], that they meet [06293] thee not in any other [0312] field [07704]. 8 2 23 So she kept fast [01692] by the maidens [05291] of Boaz [01162] to glean [03950] unto the end [03615] of barley [08184] harvest [07105] and of wheat [02406] harvest [07105]; and dwelt [03427] with her mother in law [02545]. 8 3 1 Then Naomi [05281] her mother in law [02545] said [0559] unto her, My daughter [01323], shall I not seek [01245] rest [04494] for thee, that it may be well [03190] with thee? 8 3 2 And now is not Boaz [01162] of our kindred [04130], with whose maidens [05291] thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth [02219] barley [08184] to night [03915] in the threshingfloor [01637]. 8 3 3 Wash [07364] thyself therefore, and anoint [05480] thee, and put [07760] thy raiment [08071] upon thee, and get thee down [03381] to the floor [01637]: but make not thyself known [03045] unto the man [0376], until he shall have done [03615] eating [0398] and drinking [08354]. 8 3 4 And it shall be, when he lieth down [07901], that thou shalt mark [03045] the place [04725] where he shall lie [07901], and thou shalt go in [0935], and uncover [01540] his feet [04772], and lay thee down [07901]; and he will tell [05046] thee what thou shalt do [06213]. 8 3 5 And she said [0559] unto her, All that thou sayest [0559] unto me I will do [06213]. 8 3 6 And she went down [03381] unto the floor [01637], and did [06213] according to all that her mother in law [02545] bade [06680] her. 8 3 7 And when Boaz [01162] had eaten [0398] and drunk [08354], and his heart [03820] was merry [03190], he went [0935] to lie down [07901] at the end [07097] of the heap of corn [06194]: and she came [0935] softly [03909], and uncovered [01540] his feet [04772], and laid her down [07901]. 8 3 8 And it came to pass at midnight [02677] [03915], that the man [0376] was afraid [02729], and turned [03943] himself: and, behold, a woman [0802] lay [07901] at his feet [04772]. 8 3 9 And he said [0559], Who art thou? And she answered [0559], I am Ruth [07327] thine handmaid [0519]: spread [06566] therefore thy skirt [03671] over thine handmaid [0519]; for thou art a near kinsman [01350]. 8 3 10 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be thou of the LORD [03068], my daughter [01323]: for thou hast shewed [03190] more kindness [02617] in the latter end [0314] than at the beginning [07223], inasmuch as thou followedst [03212] [0310] not [01115] young men [0970], whether poor [01800] or rich [06223]. 8 3 11 And now, my daughter [01323], fear [03372] not; I will do [06213] to thee all that thou requirest [0559]: for all the city [08179] of my people [05971] doth know [03045] that thou art a virtuous [02428] woman [0802]. 8 3 12 And now it is true [0551] that I am thy near kinsman [01350]: howbeit there is [03426] a kinsman [01350] nearer [07138] than I. 8 3 13 Tarry [03885] this night [03915], and it shall be in the morning [01242], that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman [01350], well [02896]; let him do the kinsman's part [01350]: but if he will [02654] not do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman [01350] to thee, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416]: lie down [07901] until the morning [01242]. 8 3 14 And she lay [07901] at his feet [04772] until the morning [01242]: and she rose up [06965] before [02958] one [0376] could know [05234] another [07453]. And he said [0559], Let it not be known [03045] that a woman [0802] came [0935] into the floor [01637]. 8 3 15 Also he said [0559], Bring [03051] the vail [04304] that thou hast upon thee, and hold [0270] it. And when she held [0270] it, he measured [04058] six [08337] measures of barley [08184], and laid [07896] it on her: and she went [0935] into the city [05892]. 8 3 16 And when she came [0935] to her mother in law [02545], she said [0559], Who art thou, my daughter [01323]? And she told [05046] her all that the man [0376] had done [06213] to her. 8 3 17 And she said [0559], These six [08337] measures of barley [08184] gave [05414] he me; for he said [0559] to me, Go [0935] not empty [07387] unto thy mother in law [02545]. 8 3 18 Then said [0559] she, Sit still [03427], my daughter [01323], until thou know [03045] how the matter [01697] will fall [05307]: for the man [0376] will not be in rest [08252], until [0518] he have finished [03615] the thing [01697] this day [03117]. 8 4 1 Then went [05927] Boaz [01162] up [05927] to the gate [08179], and sat him down [03427] there: and, behold, the kinsman [01350] of whom Boaz [01162] spake [01696] came [05674] by; unto whom he said [0559], Ho [01945], such [06423] a one [0492]! turn aside [05493], sit down [03427] here. And he turned aside [05493], and sat down [03427]. 8 4 2 And he took [03947] ten [06235] men [0582] of the elders [02205] of the city [05892], and said [0559], Sit ye down [03427] here. And they sat down [03427]. 8 4 3 And he said [0559] unto the kinsman [01350], Naomi [05281], that is come again [07725] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124], selleth [04376] a parcel [02513] of land [07704], which was our brother [0251] Elimelech's [0458]: 8 4 4 And I thought [0559] to advertise [01540] [0241] thee, saying [0559], Buy [07069] it before the inhabitants [03427], and before the elders [02205] of my people [05971]. If thou wilt redeem [01350] it, redeem [01350] it: but if thou wilt not redeem [01350] it, then tell [05046] me, that I may know [03045]: for there is none to redeem [01350] it beside [02108] thee; and I am after [0310] thee. And he said [0559], I will redeem [01350] it. 8 4 5 Then said [0559] Boaz [01162], What day [03117] thou buyest [07069] the field [07704] of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281], thou must buy [07069] it also of Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of the dead [04191], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159]. 8 4 6 And the kinsman [01350] said [0559], I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it for myself, lest I mar [07843] mine own inheritance [05159]: redeem [01350] thou my right [01353] to thyself; for I cannot [03201] redeem [01350] it. 8 4 7 Now this was the manner in former time [06440] in Israel [03478] concerning redeeming [01353] and concerning changing [08545], for to confirm [06965] all things [01697]; a man [0376] plucked off [08025] his shoe [05275], and gave [05414] it to his neighbour [07453]: and this was a testimony [08584] in Israel [03478]. 8 4 8 Therefore the kinsman [01350] said [0559] unto Boaz [01162], Buy [07069] it for thee. So he drew off [08025] his shoe [05275]. 8 4 9 And Boaz [01162] said [0559] unto the elders [02205], and unto all the people [05971], Ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117], that I have bought [07069] all that was Elimelech's [0458], and all that was Chilion's [03630] and Mahlon's [04248], of the hand [03027] of Naomi [05281]. 8 4 10 Moreover Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125], the wife [0802] of Mahlon [04248], have I purchased [07069] to be my wife [0802], to raise up [06965] the name [08034] of the dead [04191] upon his inheritance [05159], that the name [08034] of the dead [04191] be not cut off [03772] from among [05973] his brethren [0251], and from the gate [08179] of his place [04725]: ye are witnesses [05707] this day [03117]. 8 4 11 And all the people [05971] that were in the gate [08179], and the elders [02205], said [0559], We are witnesses [05707]. The LORD [03068] make [05414] the woman [0802] that is come [0935] into thine house [01004] like Rachel [07354] and like Leah [03812], which two [08147] did build [01129] the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: and do [06213] thou worthily [02428] in Ephratah [0672], and be famous [07121] [08034] in Bethlehem [01035]: 8 4 12 And let thy house [01004] be like the house [01004] of Pharez [06557], whom Tamar [08559] bare [03205] unto Judah [03063], of the seed [02233] which the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] thee of this young woman [05291]. 8 4 13 So Boaz [01162] took [03947] Ruth [07327], and she was his wife [0802]: and when he went in [0935] unto her, the LORD [03068] gave [05414] her conception [02032], and she bare [03205] a son [01121]. 8 4 14 And the women [0802] said [0559] unto Naomi [05281], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068], which hath not left [07673] thee this day [03117] without a kinsman [01350], that his name [08034] may be famous [07121] in Israel [03478]. 8 4 15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer [07725] of thy life [05315], and a nourisher [03557] of thine old age [07872]: for thy daughter in law [03618], which loveth [0157] thee, which is better [02896] to thee than seven [07651] sons [01121], hath born [03205] him. 8 4 16 And Naomi [05281] took [03947] the child [03206], and laid [07896] it in her bosom [02436], and became nurse [0539] unto it. 8 4 17 And the women her neighbours [07934] gave [07121] it a name [08034], saying [0559], There is a son [01121] born [03205] to Naomi [05281]; and they called [07121] his name [08034] Obed [05744]: he is the father [01] of Jesse [03448], the father [01] of David [01732]. 8 4 18 Now these are the generations [08435] of Pharez [06557]: Pharez [06557] begat [03205] Hezron [02696], 8 4 19 And Hezron [02696] begat [03205] Ram [07410], and Ram [07410] begat [03205] Amminadab [05992], 8 4 20 And Amminadab [05992] begat [03205] Nahshon [05177], and Nahshon [05177] begat [03205] Salmon [08009], 8 4 21 And Salmon [08012] begat [03205] Boaz [01162], and Boaz [01162] begat [03205] Obed [05744], 8 4 22 And Obed [05744] begat [03205] Jesse [03448], and Jesse [03448] begat [03205] David [01732]. 9 1 1 Now there was a certain [0259] man [0376] of Ramathaimzophim [07436], of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and his name [08034] was Elkanah [0511], the son [01121] of Jeroham [03395], the son [01121] of Elihu [0453], the son [01121] of Tohu [08459], the son [01121] of Zuph [06689], an Ephrathite [0673]: 9 1 2 And he had two [08147] wives [0802]; the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Hannah [02584], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Peninnah [06444]: and Peninnah [06444] had children [03206], but Hannah [02584] had no children [03206]. 9 1 3 And this [01931] man [0376] went up [05927] out of his city [05892] yearly [03117] [03117] to worship [07812] and to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] in Shiloh [07887]. And the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], were there. 9 1 4 And when the time [03117] was that Elkanah [0511] offered [02076], he gave [05414] to Peninnah [06444] his wife [0802], and to all her sons [01121] and her daughters [01323], portions [04490]: 9 1 5 But unto Hannah [02584] he gave [05414] a [0259] worthy [0639] portion [04490]; for he loved [0157] Hannah [02584]: but the LORD [03068] had shut up [05462] her womb [07358]. 9 1 6 And her adversary [06869] also provoked [03707] her sore [03708], for to make her fret [07481], because the LORD [03068] had shut [05462] up [01157] her womb [07358]. 9 1 7 And as he did [06213] so year [08141] by year [08141], when [01767] she went up [05927] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], so she provoked [03707] her; therefore she wept [01058], and did not eat [0398]. 9 1 8 Then said [0559] Elkanah [0511] her husband [0376] to her, Hannah [02584], why weepest [01058] thou? and why eatest [0398] thou not? and why is thy heart [03824] grieved [03415]? am not I better [02896] to thee than ten [06235] sons [01121]? 9 1 9 So Hannah [02584] rose up [06965] after [0310] they had eaten [0398] in Shiloh [07887], and after [0310] they had drunk [08354]. Now Eli [05941] the priest [03548] sat [03427] upon a seat [03678] by a post [04201] of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]. 9 1 10 And she was in bitterness [04751] of soul [05315], and prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], and wept [01058] sore [01058]. 9 1 11 And she vowed [05087] a vow [05088], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], if thou wilt indeed [07200] look [07200] on the affliction [06040] of thine handmaid [0519], and remember [02142] me, and not forget [07911] thine handmaid [0519], but wilt give [05414] unto thine handmaid [0519] a man [0582] child [02233], then I will give [05414] him unto the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of his life [02416], and there shall no razor [04177] come [05927] upon his head [07218]. 9 1 12 And it came to pass, as she continued [07235] praying [06419] before [06440] the LORD [03068], that Eli [05941] marked [08104] her mouth [06310]. 9 1 13 Now Hannah [02584], she spake [01696] in her heart [03820]; only her lips [08193] moved [05128], but her voice [06963] was not heard [08085]: therefore Eli [05941] thought [02803] she had been drunken [07910]. 9 1 14 And Eli [05941] said [0559] unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken [07937]? put away [05493] thy wine [03196] from thee. 9 1 15 And Hannah [02584] answered [06030] and said [0559], No, my lord [0113], I am a woman [0802] of a sorrowful [07186] spirit [07307]: I have drunk [08354] neither wine [03196] nor strong drink [07941], but have poured out [08210] my soul [05315] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 9 1 16 Count [05414] not thine handmaid [0519] for [06440] a daughter [01323] of Belial [01100]: for out of the abundance [07230] of my complaint [07879] and grief [03708] have I spoken [01696] hitherto. 9 1 17 Then Eli [05941] answered [06030] and said [0559], Go [03212] in peace [07965]: and the God [0430] of Israel [03478] grant [05414] thee thy petition [07596] that thou hast asked [07592] of him. 9 1 18 And she said [0559], Let thine handmaid [08198] find [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869]. So the woman [0802] went [03212] her way [01870], and did eat [0398], and her countenance [06440] was no more sad. 9 1 19 And they rose up [07925] in the morning [01242] early [07925], and worshipped [07812] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and returned [07725], and came [0935] to their house [01004] to Ramah [07414]: and Elkanah [0511] knew [03045] Hannah [02584] his wife [0802]; and the LORD [03068] remembered [02142] her. 9 1 20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time [03117] was come [08622] about after Hannah [02584] had conceived [02029], that she bare [03205] a son [01121], and called [07121] his name [08034] Samuel [08050], saying, Because I have asked [07592] him of the LORD [03068]. 9 1 21 And the man [0376] Elkanah [0511], and all his house [01004], went up [05927] to offer [02076] unto the LORD [03068] the yearly [03117] sacrifice [02077], and his vow [05088]. 9 1 22 But Hannah [02584] went not up [05927]; for she said [0559] unto her husband [0376], I will not go up until the child [05288] be weaned [01580], and then I will bring [0935] him, that he may appear [07200] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and there abide [03427] for [05704] ever [05769]. 9 1 23 And Elkanah [0511] her husband [0376] said [0559] unto her, Do [06213] what seemeth [05869] thee good [02896]; tarry [03427] until thou have weaned [01580] him; only the LORD [03068] establish [06965] his word [01697]. So the woman [0802] abode [03427], and gave her son [01121] suck [03243] until she weaned [01580] him. 9 1 24 And when she had weaned [01580] him, she took him up [05927] with her, with three [07969] bullocks [06499], and one [0259] ephah [0374] of flour [07058], and a bottle [05035] of wine [03196], and brought [0935] him unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] in Shiloh [07887]: and the child [05288] was young [05288]. 9 1 25 And they slew [07819] a bullock [06499], and brought [0935] the child [05288] to Eli [05941]. 9 1 26 And she said [0559], Oh [0994] my lord [0113], as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], my lord [0113], I am the woman [0802] that stood [05324] by thee here, praying [06419] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 1 27 For this child [05288] I prayed [06419]; and the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] me my petition [07596] which I asked [07592] of him: 9 1 28 Therefore also I have lent [07592] him to the LORD [03068]; as long as he liveth [03117] he shall be lent [07592] to the LORD [03068]. And he worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068] there. 9 2 1 And Hannah [02584] prayed [06419], and said [0559], My heart [03820] rejoiceth [05970] in the LORD [03068], mine horn [07161] is exalted [07311] in the LORD [03068]: my mouth [06310] is enlarged [07337] over mine enemies [0341]; because I rejoice [08055] in thy salvation [03444]. 9 2 2 There is none holy [06918] as the LORD [03068]: for there is none beside [01115] thee: neither is there any rock [06697] like our God [0430]. 9 2 3 Talk [01696] no more [07235] so exceeding [01364] proudly [01364]; let not arrogancy [06277] come [03318] out of your mouth [06310]: for the LORD [03068] is a God [0410] of knowledge [01844], and by him actions [05949] are weighed [08505]. 9 2 4 The bows [07198] of the mighty men [01368] are broken [02844], and they that stumbled [03782] are girded [0247] with strength [02428]. 9 2 5 They that were full [07649] have hired out [07936] themselves for bread [03899]; and they that were hungry [07457] ceased [02308]: so that the barren [06135] hath born [03205] seven [07651]; and she that hath many [07227] children [01121] is waxed feeble [0535]. 9 2 6 The LORD [03068] killeth [04191], and maketh alive [02421]: he bringeth down [03381] to the grave [07585], and bringeth up [05927]. 9 2 7 The LORD [03068] maketh poor [03423], and maketh rich [06238]: he bringeth low [08213], and [0637] lifteth up [07311]. 9 2 8 He raiseth up [06965] the poor [01800] out of the dust [06083], and lifteth up [07311] the beggar [034] from the dunghill [0830], to set [03427] them among princes [05081], and to make them inherit [05157] the throne [03678] of glory [03519]: for the pillars [04690] of the earth [0776] are the LORD'S [03068], and he hath set [07896] the world [08398] upon them. 9 2 9 He will keep [08104] the feet [07272] of his saints [02623], and the wicked [07563] shall be silent [01826] in darkness [02822]; for by strength [03581] shall no man [0376] prevail [01396]. 9 2 10 The adversaries [07378] of the LORD [03068] shall be broken to pieces [02865]; out of heaven [08064] shall he thunder [07481] upon them: the LORD [03068] shall judge [01777] the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]; and he shall give [05414] strength [05797] unto his king [04428], and exalt [07311] the horn [07161] of his anointed [04899]. 9 2 11 And Elkanah [0511] went [03212] to Ramah [07414] to his house [01004]. And the child [05288] did [01961] minister [08334] unto the LORD [03068] before [06440] Eli [05941] the priest [03548]. 9 2 12 Now the sons [01121] of Eli [05941] were sons [01121] of Belial [01100]; they knew [03045] not the LORD [03068]. 9 2 13 And the priests [03548]' custom [04941] with the people [05971] was, that, when any man [0376] offered [02076] sacrifice [02077], the priest's [03548] servant [05288] came [0935], while the flesh [01320] was in seething [01310], with a fleshhook [04207] of three [07969] teeth [08127] in his hand [03027]; 9 2 14 And he struck [05221] it into the pan [03595], or kettle [01731], or caldron [07037], or pot [06517]; all that the fleshhook [04207] brought up [05927] the priest [03548] took [03947] for himself. So they did [06213] in Shiloh [07887] unto all the Israelites [03478] that came [0935] thither. 9 2 15 Also before they burnt [06999] the fat [02459], the priest's [03548] servant [05288] came [0935], and said [0559] to the man [0376] that sacrificed [02076], Give [05414] flesh [01320] to roast [06740] for the priest [03548]; for he will not have [03947] sodden [01310] flesh [01320] of thee, but raw [02416]. 9 2 16 And if any man [0376] said [0559] unto him, Let them not fail [06999] to burn [06999] the fat [02459] presently [03117], and then take [03947] as much as thy soul [05315] desireth [0183]; then he would answer [0559] him, Nay; but thou shalt give [05414] it me now: and if not, I will take [03947] it by force [02394]. 9 2 17 Wherefore the sin [02403] of the young men [05288] was very [03966] great [01419] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for men [0582] abhorred [05006] the offering [04503] of the LORD [03068]. 9 2 18 But Samuel [08050] ministered [08334] before [06440] the LORD [03068], being a child [05288], girded [02296] with a linen [0906] ephod [0646]. 9 2 19 Moreover his mother [0517] made [06213] him a little [06996] coat [04598], and brought [05927] it to him from year [03117] to year [03117], when she came up [05927] with her husband [0376] to offer [02076] the yearly [03117] sacrifice [02077]. 9 2 20 And Eli [05941] blessed [01288] Elkanah [0511] and his wife [0802], and said [0559], The LORD [03068] give [07760] thee seed [02233] of this woman [0802] for the loan [07596] which is lent [07592] to the LORD [03068]. And they went [01980] unto their own home [04725]. 9 2 21 And [03588] the LORD [03068] visited [06485] Hannah [02584], so that she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] three [07969] sons [01121] and two [08147] daughters [01323]. And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] grew [01431] before [05973] the LORD [03068]. 9 2 22 Now Eli [05941] was very [03966] old [02204], and heard [08085] all that his sons [01121] did [06213] unto all Israel [03478]; and how they lay [07901] with the women [0802] that assembled [06633] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]. 9 2 23 And he said [0559] unto them, Why do [06213] ye such things [01697]? for I hear [08085] of your evil [07451] dealings [01697] by all this people [05971]. 9 2 24 Nay, my sons [01121]; for it is no good [02896] report [08052] that I hear [08085]: ye make the LORD'S [03068] people [05971] to transgress [05674]. 9 2 25 If one man [0376] sin [02398] against another [0376], the judge [0430] shall judge [06419] him: but if a man [0376] sin [02398] against the LORD [03068], who shall intreat [06419] for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened [08085] not unto the voice [06963] of their father [01], because the LORD [03068] would [02654] slay [04191] them. 9 2 26 And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] grew [01432] on [01980], and was in favour [02896] both with the LORD [03068], and also with men [0582]. 9 2 27 And there came [0935] a man [0376] of God [0430] unto Eli [05941], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Did I plainly [01540] appear [01540] unto the house [01004] of thy father [01], when they were in Egypt [04714] in Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004]? 9 2 28 And did I choose [0977] him out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to be my priest [03548], to offer [05927] upon mine altar [04196], to burn [06999] incense [07004], to wear [05375] an ephod [0646] before [06440] me? and did I give [05414] unto the house [01004] of thy father [01] all the offerings made by fire [0801] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]? 9 2 29 Wherefore kick [01163] ye at my sacrifice [02077] and at mine offering [04503], which I have commanded [06680] in my habitation [04583]; and honourest [03513] thy sons [01121] above me, to make yourselves fat [01254] with the chiefest [07225] of all the offerings [04503] of Israel [03478] my people [05971]? 9 2 30 Wherefore the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] saith [05002], I said [0559] indeed [0559] that thy house [01004], and the house [01004] of thy father [01], should walk [01980] before [06440] me for [05704] ever [05769]: but now the LORD [03068] saith [05002], Be it far from me [02486]; for them that honour [03513] me I will honour [03513], and they that despise [0959] me shall be lightly esteemed [07043]. 9 2 31 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], that I will cut off [01438] thine arm [02220], and the arm [02220] of thy father's [01] house [01004], that there shall not be an old man [02205] in thine house [01004]. 9 2 32 And thou shalt see [05027] an enemy [06862] in my habitation [04583], in all the wealth which God shall give [03190] Israel [03478]: and there shall not be an old man [02205] in thine house [01004] for ever [03117]. 9 2 33 And the man [0376] of thine, whom I shall not cut off [03772] from mine altar [04196], shall be to consume [03615] thine eyes [05869], and to grieve [0109] thine heart [05315]: and all the increase [04768] of thine house [01004] shall die [04191] in the flower of their age [0582]. 9 2 34 And this shall be a sign [0226] unto thee, that shall come [0935] upon thy two [08147] sons [01121], on Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372]; in one [0259] day [03117] they shall die [04191] both [08147] of them. 9 2 35 And I will raise me up [06965] a faithful [0539] priest [03548], that shall do [06213] according to that which is in mine heart [03824] and in my mind [05315]: and I will build [01129] him a sure [0539] house [01004]; and he shall walk [01980] before [06440] mine anointed [04899] for ever [03117]. 9 2 36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left [03498] in thine house [01004] shall come [0935] and crouch [07812] to him for a piece [095] of silver [03701] and a morsel [03603] of bread [03899], and shall say [0559], Put [05596] me, I pray thee, into one [0259] of the priests' offices [03550], that I may eat [0398] a piece [06595] of bread [03899]. 9 3 1 And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] ministered [08334] unto the LORD [03068] before [06440] Eli [05941]. And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] was precious [03368] in those days [03117]; there was no open [06555] vision [02377]. 9 3 2 And it came to pass at that time [03117], when Eli [05941] was laid down [07901] in his place [04725], and his eyes [05869] began [02490] to wax dim [03544], that he could [03201] not see [07200]; 9 3 3 And ere the lamp [05216] of God [0430] went out [03518] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], where the ark [0727] of God [0430] was, and Samuel [08050] was laid down [07901] to sleep; 9 3 4 That the LORD [03068] called [07121] Samuel [08050]: and he answered [0559], Here am I. 9 3 5 And he ran [07323] unto Eli [05941], and said [0559], Here am I [02009]; for thou calledst [07121] me. And he said [0559], I called [07121] not; lie down [07901] again [07725]. And he went [03212] and lay down [07901]. 9 3 6 And the LORD [03068] called [07121] yet again [03254], Samuel [08050]. And Samuel [08050] arose [06965] and went [03212] to Eli [05941], and said [0559], Here am I; for thou didst call [07121] me. And he answered [0559], I called [07121] not, my son [01121]; lie down [07901] again [07725]. 9 3 7 Now Samuel [08050] did not yet [02962] know [03045] the LORD [03068], neither was the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] yet revealed [01540] unto him. 9 3 8 And the LORD [03068] called [07121] Samuel [08050] again [03254] the third time [07992]. And he arose [06965] and went [03212] to Eli [05941], and said [0559], Here am I; for thou didst call [07121] me. And Eli [05941] perceived [0995] that the LORD [03068] had called [07121] the child [05288]. 9 3 9 Therefore Eli [05941] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Go [03212], lie down [07901]: and it shall be, if he call [07121] thee, that thou shalt say [0559], Speak [01696], LORD [03068]; for thy servant [05650] heareth [08085]. So Samuel [08050] went [03212] and lay down [07901] in his place [04725]. 9 3 10 And the LORD [03068] came [0935], and stood [03320], and called [07121] as at other times [06471], Samuel [08050], Samuel [08050]. Then Samuel [08050] answered [0559], Speak [01696]; for thy servant [05650] heareth [08085]. 9 3 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] to Samuel [08050], Behold, I will do [06213] a thing [01697] in Israel [03478], at which both [08147] the ears [0241] of every one that heareth [08085] it shall tingle [06750]. 9 3 12 In that day [03117] I will perform [06965] against Eli [05941] all things which I have spoken [01696] concerning [0413] his house [01004]: when I begin [02490], I will also make an end [03615]. 9 3 13 For I have told [05046] him that I will judge [08199] his house [01004] for [05704] ever [05769] for the iniquity [05771] which he knoweth [03045]; because his sons [01121] made themselves vile [07043], and he restrained [03543] them not. 9 3 14 And therefore I have sworn [07650] unto the house [01004] of Eli [05941], that the iniquity [05771] of Eli's [05941] house [01004] shall not be purged [03722] with sacrifice [02077] nor offering [04503] for [05704] ever [05769]. 9 3 15 And Samuel [08050] lay [07901] until the morning [01242], and opened [06605] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And Samuel [08050] feared [03372] to shew [05046] Eli [05941] the vision [04759]. 9 3 16 Then Eli [05941] called [07121] Samuel [08050], and said [0559], Samuel [08050], my son [01121]. And he answered [0559], Here am I. 9 3 17 And he said [0559], What is the thing [01697] that the LORD hath said [01696] unto thee? I pray thee hide [03582] it not from me: God [0430] do so [06213] to thee, and more also [03254], if thou hide [03582] any thing [01697] from me of all the things [01697] that he said [01696] unto thee. 9 3 18 And Samuel [08050] told [05046] him every whit [01697], and hid [03582] nothing from him. And he said [0559], It is the LORD [03068]: let him do [06213] what seemeth [05869] him good [02896]. 9 3 19 And Samuel [08050] grew [01431], and the LORD [03068] was with him, and did let none of his words [01697] fall [05307] to the ground [0776]. 9 3 20 And all Israel [03478] from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884] knew [03045] that Samuel [08050] was established [0539] to be a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068]. 9 3 21 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] again [03254] in Shiloh [07887]: for the LORD [03068] revealed [01540] himself to Samuel [08050] in Shiloh [07887] by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 9 4 1 And the word [01697] of Samuel [08050] came to all Israel [03478]. Now Israel [03478] went out [03318] against [07125] the Philistines [06430] to battle [04421], and pitched [02583] beside Ebenezer [072]: and the Philistines [06430] pitched [02583] in Aphek [0663]. 9 4 2 And the Philistines [06430] put themselves in array [06186] against [07125] Israel [03478]: and when they joined [05203] battle [04421], Israel [03478] was smitten [05062] before [06440] the Philistines [06430]: and they slew [05221] of the army [04634] in the field [07704] about four [0702] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 9 4 3 And when the people [05971] were come [0935] into the camp [04264], the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Wherefore hath the LORD [03068] smitten [05062] us to day [03117] before [06440] the Philistines [06430]? Let us fetch [03947] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] out of Shiloh [07887] unto us, that, when it cometh [0935] among [07130] us, it may save [03467] us out of the hand [03709] of our enemies [0341]. 9 4 4 So the people [05971] sent [07971] to Shiloh [07887], that they might bring [05375] from thence the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which dwelleth [03427] between the cherubims [03742]: and the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], were there with the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of God [0430]. 9 4 5 And when the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] into the camp [04264], all Israel [03478] shouted [07321] with a great [01419] shout [08643], so that the earth [0776] rang again [01949]. 9 4 6 And when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the shout [08643], they said [0559], What meaneth the noise [06963] of this great [01419] shout [08643] in the camp [04264] of the Hebrews [05680]? And they understood [03045] that the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] was come [0935] into the camp [04264]. 9 4 7 And the Philistines [06430] were afraid [03372], for they said [0559], God [0430] is come [0935] into the camp [04264]. And they said [0559], Woe [0188] unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore [0865] [08032]. 9 4 8 Woe [0188] unto us! who shall deliver [05337] us out of the hand [03027] of these mighty [0117] Gods [0430]? these are the Gods [0430] that smote [05221] the Egyptians [04714] with all the plagues [04347] in the wilderness [04057]. 9 4 9 Be strong [02388], and quit [01961] yourselves like men [0582], O ye Philistines [06430], that ye be not servants [05647] unto the Hebrews [05680], as they have been [05647] to you: quit [01961] yourselves like men [0582], and fight [03898]. 9 4 10 And the Philistines [06430] fought [03898], and Israel [03478] was smitten [05062], and they fled [05127] every man [0376] into his tent [0168]: and there was a very [03966] great [01419] slaughter [04347]; for there fell [05307] of Israel [03478] thirty [07970] thousand [0505] footmen [07273]. 9 4 11 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947]; and the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], were slain [04191]. 9 4 12 And there ran [07323] a man [0376] of Benjamin [01144] out of the army [04634], and came [0935] to Shiloh [07887] the same day [03117] with his clothes [04055] rent [07167], and with earth [0127] upon his head [07218]. 9 4 13 And when he came [0935], lo, Eli [05941] sat [03427] upon a seat [03678] by the wayside [01870] [03027] [03197] watching [06822]: for his heart [03820] trembled [02730] for the ark [0727] of God [0430]. And when the man [0376] came [0935] into the city [05892], and told [05046] it, all the city [05892] cried out [02199]. 9 4 14 And when Eli [05941] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the crying [06818], he said [0559], What meaneth the noise [06963] of this tumult [01995]? And the man [0376] came [0935] in hastily [04116], and told [05046] Eli [05941]. 9 4 15 Now Eli [05941] was ninety [08673] and eight [08083] years [08141] old [01121]; and his eyes [05869] were dim [06965], that he could [03201] not see [07200]. 9 4 16 And the man [0376] said [0559] unto Eli [05941], I am he that came [0935] out of the army [04634], and I fled [05127] to day [03117] out of the army [04634]. And he said [0559], What is there done [01697], my son [01121]? 9 4 17 And the messenger [01319] answered [06030] and said [0559], Israel [03478] is fled [05127] before [06440] the Philistines [06430], and there hath been also a great [01419] slaughter [04046] among the people [05971], and thy two [08147] sons [01121] also, Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], are dead [04191], and the ark [0727] of God [0430] is taken [03947]. 9 4 18 And it came to pass, when he made mention [02142] of the ark [0727] of God [0430], that he fell [05307] from off the seat [03678] backward [0322] by [01157] the side [03027] of the gate [08179], and his neck [04665] brake [07665], and he died [04191]: for he was an old [02204] man [0376], and heavy [03513]. And he had judged [08199] Israel [03478] forty [0705] years [08141]. 9 4 19 And his daughter in law [03618], Phinehas [06372]' wife [0802], was with child [02030], near to be delivered [03205]: and when she heard [08085] the tidings [08052] that [0413] the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947], and that her father in law [02524] and her husband [0376] were dead [04191], she bowed [03766] herself and travailed [03205]; for her pains [06735] came [02015] upon her. 9 4 20 And about the time [06256] of her death [04191] the women that stood [05324] by her said [01696] unto her, Fear [03372] not; for thou hast born [03205] a son [01121]. But she answered [06030] not, neither did she regard [07896] [03820] it. 9 4 21 And she named [07121] the child [05288] Ichabod [0350], saying [0559], The glory [03519] is departed [01540] from Israel [03478]: because [0413] the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947], and because of her father in law [02524] and her husband [0376]. 9 4 22 And she said [0559], The glory [03519] is departed [01540] from Israel [03478]: for the ark [0727] of God [0430] is taken [03947]. 9 5 1 And the Philistines [06430] took [03947] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and brought [0935] it from Ebenezer [072] unto Ashdod [0795]. 9 5 2 When the Philistines [06430] took [03947] the ark [0727] of God [0430], they brought [0935] it into the house [01004] of Dagon [01712], and set [03322] it by [0681] Dagon [01712]. 9 5 3 And when they of Ashdod [0796] arose early [07925] on the morrow [04283], behold, Dagon [01712] was fallen [05307] upon his face [06440] to the earth [0776] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. And they took [03947] Dagon [01712], and set [07725] him in his place [04725] again [07725]. 9 5 4 And when they arose early [07925] on the morrow [04283] morning [01242], behold, Dagon [01712] was fallen [05307] upon his face [06440] to the ground [0776] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]; and the head [07218] of Dagon [01712] and both [08147] the palms [03709] of his hands [03027] were cut off [03772] upon the threshold [04670]; only the stump of Dagon [01712] was left [07604] to him. 9 5 5 Therefore neither the priests [03548] of Dagon [01712], nor any that come [0935] into Dagon's [01712] house [01004], tread [01869] on the threshold [04670] of Dagon [01712] in Ashdod [0795] unto this day [03117]. 9 5 6 But the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was heavy [03513] upon them of Ashdod [0796], and he destroyed [08074] them, and smote [05221] them with emerods [02914] [06076], even Ashdod [0795] and the coasts [01366] thereof. 9 5 7 And when the men [0582] of Ashdod [0795] saw [07200] that it was so, they said [0559], The ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] shall not abide [03427] with us: for his hand [03027] is sore [07185] upon us, and upon Dagon [01712] our god [0430]. 9 5 8 They sent [07971] therefore and gathered [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] unto them, and said [0559], What shall we do [06213] with the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478]? And they answered [0559], Let the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] be carried about [05437] unto Gath [01661]. And they carried [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] about [05437] thither. 9 5 9 And it was so, that, after [0310] they had carried it about [05437], the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against the city [05892] with a very [03966] great [01419] destruction [04103]: and he smote [05221] the men [0582] of the city [05892], both small [06996] and great [01419], and they had emerods [02914] [06076] in their secret parts [08368]. 9 5 10 Therefore they sent [07971] the ark [0727] of God [0430] to Ekron [06138]. And it came to pass, as the ark [0727] of God [0430] came [0935] to Ekron [06138], that the Ekronites [06139] cried out [02199], saying [0559], They have brought about [05437] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] to us, to slay [04191] us and our people [05971]. 9 5 11 So they sent [07971] and gathered together [0622] all the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430], and said [0559], Send away [07971] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], and let it go again [07725] to his own place [04725], that it slay [04191] us not, and our people [05971]: for there was a deadly [04194] destruction [04103] throughout all the city [05892]; the hand [03027] of God [0430] was very [03966] heavy [03513] there. 9 5 12 And the men [0582] that died [04191] not were smitten [05221] with the emerods [02914] [06076]: and the cry [07775] of the city [05892] went up [05927] to heaven [08064]. 9 6 1 And the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] was in the country [07704] of the Philistines [06430] seven [07651] months [02320]. 9 6 2 And the Philistines [06430] called [07121] for the priests [03548] and the diviners [07080], saying [0559], What shall we do [06213] to the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]? tell [03045] us wherewith we shall send [07971] it to his place [04725]. 9 6 3 And they said [0559], If ye send away [07971] the ark [0727] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], send [07971] it not empty [07387]; but in any wise [07725] return [07725] him a trespass offering [0817]: then ye shall be healed [07495], and it shall be known [03045] to you why his hand [03027] is not removed [05493] from you. 9 6 4 Then said [0559] they, What shall be the trespass offering [0817] which we shall return [07725] to him? They answered [0559], Five [02568] golden [02091] emerods [02914] [06076], and five [02568] golden [02091] mice [05909], according to the number [04557] of the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]: for one [0259] plague [04046] was on you all, and on your lords [05633]. 9 6 5 Wherefore ye shall make [06213] images [06754] of your emerods [02914] [06076], and images [06754] of your mice [05909] that mar [07843] the land [0776]; and ye shall give [05414] glory [03519] unto the God [0430] of Israel [03478]: peradventure he will lighten [07043] his hand [03027] from off you, and from off your gods [0430], and from off your land [0776]. 9 6 6 Wherefore then do ye harden [03513] your hearts [03824], as the Egyptians [04714] and Pharaoh [06547] hardened [03513] their hearts [03820]? when he had wrought wonderfully [05953] among them, did they not let the people go [07971], and they departed [03212]? 9 6 7 Now therefore make [06213] a [0259] new [02319] cart [05699], and take [03947] two [08147] milch [05763] kine [06510], on which there hath come [05927] no yoke [05923], and tie [0631] the kine [06510] to the cart [05699], and bring [07725] their calves [01121] home [01004] from them [0310]: 9 6 8 And take [03947] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and lay [05414] it upon the cart [05699]; and put [07760] the jewels [03627] of gold [02091], which ye return [07725] him for a trespass offering [0817], in a coffer [0712] by the side [06654] thereof; and send it away [07971], that it may go [01980]. 9 6 9 And see [07200], if it goeth up [05927] by the way [01870] of his own coast [01366] to Bethshemesh [01053], then he hath done [06213] us this great [01419] evil [07451]: but if not, then we shall know [03045] that it is not his hand [03027] that smote [05060] us: it was a chance [04745] that happened to us [01961]. 9 6 10 And the men [0582] did so [06213]; and took [03947] two [08147] milch [05763] kine [06510], and tied [0631] them to the cart [05699], and shut up [03607] their calves [01121] at home [01004]: 9 6 11 And they laid [07760] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] upon the cart [05699], and the coffer [0712] with the mice [05909] of gold [02091] and the images [06754] of their emerods [02914]. 9 6 12 And the kine [06510] took the straight [03474] way [01870] to the way [01870] of Bethshemesh [01053], and went along [01980] the highway [04546] [0259], lowing [01600] as they went [01980], and turned not aside [05493] to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040]; and the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] went [01980] after [0310] them unto the border [01366] of Bethshemesh [01053]. 9 6 13 And they of Bethshemesh [01053] were reaping [07114] their wheat [02406] harvest [07105] in the valley [06010]: and they lifted up [05375] their eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the ark [0727], and rejoiced [08055] to see [07200] it. 9 6 14 And the cart [05699] came [0935] into the field [07704] of Joshua [03091], a Bethshemite [01030], and stood [05975] there, where there was a great [01419] stone [068]: and they clave [01234] the wood [06086] of the cart [05699], and offered [05927] the kine [06510] a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 6 15 And the Levites [03881] took down [03381] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and the coffer [0712] that was with it, wherein the jewels [03627] of gold [02091] were, and put [07760] them on the great [01419] stone [068]: and the men [0582] of Bethshemesh [01053] offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and sacrificed [02076] sacrifices [02077] the same day [03117] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 6 16 And when the five [02568] lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] had seen [07200] it, they returned [07725] to Ekron [06138] the same day [03117]. 9 6 17 And these are the golden [02091] emerods [02914] which the Philistines [06430] returned [07725] for a trespass offering [0817] unto the LORD [03068]; for Ashdod [0795] one [0259], for Gaza [05804] one [0259], for Askelon [0831] one [0259], for Gath [01661] one [0259], for Ekron [06138] one [0259]; 9 6 18 And the golden [02091] mice [05909], according to the number [04557] of all the cities [05892] of the Philistines [06430] belonging to the five [02568] lords [05633], both of fenced [04013] cities [05892], and of country [06521] villages [03724], even unto the great [01419] stone of Abel [059], whereon they set down [03240] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]: which stone remaineth unto this day [03117] in the field [07704] of Joshua [03091], the Bethshemite [01030]. 9 6 19 And he smote [05221] the men [0376] of Bethshemesh [01053], because they had looked [07200] into the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], even he smote [05221] of the people [05971] fifty [02572] thousand [0505] and threescore and ten [07657] men [0582]: and the people [05971] lamented [056], because the LORD [03068] had smitten [05221] many of the people [05971] with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]. 9 6 20 And the men [0582] of Bethshemesh [01053] said [0559], Who is able [03201] to stand [05975] before [06440] this holy [06918] LORD [03068] God [0430]? and to whom shall he go up [05927] from us? 9 6 21 And they sent [07971] messengers [04397] to the inhabitants [03427] of Kirjathjearim [07157], saying [0559], The Philistines [06430] have brought again [07725] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]; come ye down [03381], and fetch it up [05927] to you. 9 7 1 And the men [0582] of Kirjathjearim [07157] came [0935], and fetched up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and brought [0935] it into the house [01004] of Abinadab [041] in the hill [01389], and sanctified [06942] Eleazar [0499] his son [01121] to keep [08104] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068]. 9 7 2 And it came to pass, while [03117] the ark [0727] abode [03427] in Kirjathjearim [07157], that the time [03117] was long [07235]; for it was twenty [06242] years [08141]: and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] lamented [05091] after [0310] the LORD [03068]. 9 7 3 And Samuel [08050] spake [0559] unto all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], If ye do return [07725] unto the LORD [03068] with all your hearts [03824], then put away [05493] the strange [05236] gods [0430] and Ashtaroth [06252] from among [08432] you, and prepare [03559] your hearts [03824] unto the LORD [03068], and serve [05647] him only: and he will deliver [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 7 4 Then the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did put away [05493] Baalim [01168] and Ashtaroth [06252], and served [05647] the LORD [03068] only. 9 7 5 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], Gather [06908] all Israel [03478] to Mizpeh [04708], and I will pray [06419] for you unto the LORD [03068]. 9 7 6 And they gathered together [06908] to Mizpeh [04709], and drew [07579] water [04325], and poured it out [08210] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and fasted [06684] on that day [03117], and said [0559] there, We have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]. And Samuel [08050] judged [08199] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] in Mizpeh [04708]. 9 7 7 And when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were gathered together [06908] to Mizpeh [04708], the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] went up [05927] against Israel [03478]. And when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] heard [08085] it, they were afraid [03372] of [06440] the Philistines [06430]. 9 7 8 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] said [0559] to Samuel [08050], Cease [02790] not to cry [02199] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430] for us, that he will save [03467] us out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 7 9 And Samuel [08050] took [03947] a [0259] sucking [02461] lamb [02924], and offered [05927] it for a burnt offering [05930] wholly [03632] unto the LORD [03068]: and Samuel [08050] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068] for Israel [03478]; and the LORD [03068] heard [06030] him. 9 7 10 And as Samuel [08050] was offering up [05927] the burnt offering [05930], the Philistines [06430] drew near [05066] to battle [04421] against Israel [03478]: but the LORD [03068] thundered [07481] with a great [01419] thunder [06963] on that day [03117] upon the Philistines [06430], and discomfited [02000] them; and they were smitten [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478]. 9 7 11 And the men [0582] of Israel [03478] went out [03318] of Mizpeh [04709], and pursued [07291] the Philistines [06430], and smote [05221] them, until they came under Bethcar [01033]. 9 7 12 Then Samuel [08050] took [03947] a [0259] stone [068], and set [07760] it between Mizpeh [04709] and Shen [08129], and called [07121] the name [08034] of it Ebenezer [072], saying [0559], Hitherto hath the LORD [03068] helped [05826] us. 9 7 13 So the Philistines [06430] were subdued [03665], and they came [0935] no more [03254] into the coast [01366] of Israel [03478]: and the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was against the Philistines [06430] all the days [03117] of Samuel [08050]. 9 7 14 And the cities [05892] which the Philistines [06430] had taken [03947] from Israel [03478] were restored [07725] to Israel [03478], from Ekron [06138] even unto Gath [01661]; and the coasts [01366] thereof did Israel [03478] deliver [05337] out of the hands [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. And there was peace [07965] between Israel [03478] and the Amorites [0567]. 9 7 15 And Samuel [08050] judged [08199] Israel [03478] all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 9 7 16 And he went [01980] from [01767] year [08141] to year [08141] in circuit [05437] to Bethel [01008], and Gilgal [01537], and Mizpeh [04709], and judged [08199] Israel [03478] in all those places [04725]. 9 7 17 And his return [08666] was to Ramah [07414]; for there was his house [01004]; and there he judged [08199] Israel [03478]; and there he built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 8 1 And it came to pass, when Samuel [08050] was old [02204], that he made [07760] his sons [01121] judges [08199] over Israel [03478]. 9 8 2 Now the name [08034] of his firstborn [01121] [01060] was Joel [03100]; and the name [08034] of his second [04932], Abiah [029]: they were judges [08199] in Beersheba [0884]. 9 8 3 And his sons [01121] walked [01980] not in his ways [01870], but turned aside [05186] after [0310] lucre [01215], and took [03947] bribes [07810], and perverted [05186] judgment [04941]. 9 8 4 Then all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] gathered themselves together [06908], and came [0935] to Samuel [08050] unto Ramah [07414], 9 8 5 And said [0559] unto him, Behold, thou art old [02204], and thy sons [01121] walk [01980] not in thy ways [01870]: now make [07760] us a king [04428] to judge [08199] us like all the nations [01471]. 9 8 6 But the thing [01697] displeased [03415] [05869] Samuel [08050], when they said [0559], Give [05414] us a king [04428] to judge [08199] us. And Samuel [08050] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 8 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the people [05971] in all that they say [0559] unto thee: for they have not rejected [03988] thee, but they have rejected [03988] me, that I should not reign [04427] over them. 9 8 8 According to all the works [04639] which they have done [06213] since the day [03117] that I brought them up [05927] out of Egypt [04714] even unto this day [03117], wherewith they have forsaken [05800] me, and served [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], so do [06213] they also unto thee. 9 8 9 Now therefore hearken [08085] unto their voice [06963]: howbeit [0389] yet protest [05749] solemnly [05749] unto them, and shew [05046] them the manner [04941] of the king [04428] that shall reign [04427] over them. 9 8 10 And Samuel [08050] told [0559] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto the people [05971] that asked [07592] of him a king [04428]. 9 8 11 And he said [0559], This will be the manner [04941] of the king [04428] that shall reign [04427] over you: He will take [03947] your sons [01121], and appoint [07760] them for himself, for his chariots [04818], and to be his horsemen [06571]; and some shall run [07323] before [06440] his chariots [04818]. 9 8 12 And he will appoint [07760] him captains [08269] over thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over fifties [02572]; and will set them to ear [02790] his ground [02758], and to reap [07114] his harvest [07105], and to make [06213] his instruments [03627] of war [04421], and instruments [03627] of his chariots [07393]. 9 8 13 And he will take [03947] your daughters [01323] to be confectionaries [07548], and to be cooks [02879], and to be bakers [0644]. 9 8 14 And he will take [03947] your fields [07704], and your vineyards [03754], and your oliveyards [02132], even the best [02896] of them, and give [05414] them to his servants [05650]. 9 8 15 And he will take the tenth [06237] of your seed [02233], and of your vineyards [03754], and give [05414] to his officers [05631], and to his servants [05650]. 9 8 16 And he will take [03947] your menservants [05650], and your maidservants [08198], and your goodliest [02896] young men [0970], and your asses [02543], and put [06213] them to his work [04399]. 9 8 17 He will take the tenth [06237] of your sheep [06629]: and ye shall be his servants [05650]. 9 8 18 And ye shall cry out [02199] in that day [03117] because [06440] of your king [04428] which ye shall have chosen [0977] you; and the LORD [03068] will not hear [06030] you in that day [03117]. 9 8 19 Nevertheless the people [05971] refused [03985] to obey [08085] the voice [06963] of Samuel [08050]; and they said [0559], Nay; but we will have a king [04428] over us; 9 8 20 That we also may be like all the nations [01471]; and that our king [04428] may judge [08199] us, and go out [03318] before [06440] us, and fight [03898] our battles [04421]. 9 8 21 And Samuel [08050] heard [08085] all the words [01697] of the people [05971], and he rehearsed [01696] them in the ears [0241] of the LORD [03068]. 9 8 22 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] to Samuel [08050], Hearken [08085] unto their voice [06963], and make [04427] them a king [04428]. And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto the men [0582] of Israel [03478], Go [03212] ye every man [0376] unto his city [05892]. 9 9 1 Now there was a man [0376] of Benjamin [01144], whose name [08034] was Kish [07027], the son [01121] of Abiel [022], the son [01121] of Zeror [06872], the son [01121] of Bechorath [01064], the son [01121] of Aphiah [0647], a Benjamite [01145], a mighty [01368] man [0376] of power [02428]. 9 9 2 And he had a son [01121], whose name [08034] was Saul [07586], a choice young man [0970], and a goodly [02896]: and there was not among the children [01121] of Israel [03478] a goodlier [02896] person [0376] than he: from his shoulders [07926] and upward [04605] he was higher [01364] than any of the people [05971]. 9 9 3 And the asses [0860] of Kish [07027] Saul's [07586] father [01] were lost [06]. And Kish [07027] said [0559] to Saul [07586] his son [01121], Take [03947] now one [0259] of the servants [05288] with thee, and arise [06965], go [03212] seek [01245] the asses [0860]. 9 9 4 And he passed through [05674] mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and passed through [05674] the land [0776] of Shalisha [08031], but they found [04672] them not: then they passed through [05674] the land [0776] of Shalim [08171], and there they were not: and he passed through [05674] the land [0776] of the Benjamites [01145], but they found [04672] them not. 9 9 5 And when they were come [0935] to the land [0776] of Zuph [06689], Saul [07586] said [0559] to his servant [05288] that was with him, Come [03212], and let us return [07725]; lest my father [01] leave [02308] caring for the asses [0860], and take thought [01672] for us. 9 9 6 And he said [0559] unto him, Behold now, there is in this city [05892] a man [0376] of God [0430], and he is an honourable [03513] man [0376]; all that he saith [01696] cometh [0935] surely to pass [0935]: now let us go [03212] thither; peradventure he can shew [05046] us our way [01870] that we should go [01980]. 9 9 7 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] to his servant [05288], But, behold, if we go [03212], what shall we bring [0935] the man [0376]? for the bread [03899] is spent [0235] in our vessels [03627], and there is not a present [08670] to bring [0935] to the man [0376] of God [0430]: what have we? 9 9 8 And the servant [05288] answered [06030] Saul [07586] again [03254], and said [0559], Behold, I have [04672] here at hand [03027] the fourth part [07253] of a shekel [08255] of silver [03701]: that will I give [05414] to the man [0376] of God [0430], to tell [05046] us our way [01870]. 9 9 9 (Beforetime [06440] in Israel [03478], when a man [0376] went [03212] to enquire [01875] of God [0430], thus he spake [0559], Come [03212], and let us go [03212] to the seer [07200]: for he that is now [03117] called a Prophet [05030] was beforetime [06440] called [07121] a Seer [07200] 9 9 10 Then said [01697] Saul [07586] to his servant [05288], Well [02896] said [0559]; come [03212], let us go [03212]. So they went [03212] unto the city [05892] where the man [0376] of God [0430] was. 9 9 11 And as they went up [05927] the hill [04608] to the city [05892], they found [04672] young maidens [05291] going out [03318] to draw [07579] water [04325], and said [0559] unto them, Is [03426] the seer [07200] here? 9 9 12 And they answered [06030] them, and said [0559], He is [03426]; behold, he is before [06440] you: make haste [04116] now, for he came [0935] to day [03117] to the city [05892]; for there is a sacrifice [02077] of the people [05971] to day [03117] in the high place [01116]: 9 9 13 As soon as ye be come [0935] into the city [05892], ye shall straightway [03651] find [04672] him, before he go up [05927] to the high place [01116] to eat [0398]: for the people [05971] will not eat [0398] until he come [0935], because he doth bless [01288] the sacrifice [02077]; and afterwards [0310] [03651] they eat [0398] that be bidden [07121]. Now therefore get you up [05927]; for about this time [03117] ye shall find [04672] him. 9 9 14 And they went up [05927] into [08432] the city [05892]: and when they were come [0935] into the city [05892], behold, Samuel [08050] came out [03318] against [07125] them, for to go up [05927] to the high place [01116]. 9 9 15 Now the LORD [03068] had told [01540] Samuel [08050] in his ear [0241] a [0259] day [03117] before [06440] Saul [07586] came [0935], saying [0559], 9 9 16 To morrow [04279] about this time [06256] I will send [07971] thee a man [0376] out of the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and thou shalt anoint [04886] him to be captain [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478], that he may save [03467] my people [05971] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]: for I have looked [07200] upon my people [05971], because their cry [06818] is come [0935] unto me. 9 9 17 And when Samuel [08050] saw [07200] Saul [07586], the LORD [03068] said [06030] unto him, Behold the man [0376] whom I spake [0559] to thee of! this same shall reign [06113] over my people [05971]. 9 9 18 Then Saul [07586] drew near [05066] to Samuel [08050] in [08432] the gate [08179], and said [0559], Tell [05046] me, I pray thee, where [0335] the seer's [07200] house [01004] is. 9 9 19 And Samuel [08050] answered [06030] Saul [07586], and said [0559], I am the seer [07200]: go up [05927] before [06440] me unto the high place [01116]; for ye shall eat [0398] with me to day [03117], and to morrow [01242] I will let thee go [07971], and will tell [05046] thee all that is in thine heart [03824]. 9 9 20 And as for thine asses [0860] that were lost [06] three [07969] days [03117] ago [03117], set [07760] not thy mind [03820] on them; for they are found [04672]. And on whom is all the desire [02532] of Israel [03478]? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's [01] house [01004]? 9 9 21 And Saul [07586] answered [06030] and said [0559], Am not I a Benjamite [01145], of the smallest [06996] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]? and my family [04940] the least [06810] of all the families [04940] of the tribe [07626] of Benjamin [01144]? wherefore then speakest [01696] thou so [01697] to me? 9 9 22 And Samuel [08050] took [03947] Saul [07586] and his servant [05288], and brought [0935] them into the parlour [03957], and made them sit [05414] in the chiefest [07218] place [04725] among them that were bidden [07121], which were about thirty [07970] persons [0376]. 9 9 23 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto the cook [02876], Bring [05414] the portion [04490] which I gave [05414] thee, of which I said [0559] unto thee, Set [07760] it by thee. 9 9 24 And the cook [02876] took up [07311] the shoulder [07785], and that which was upon it, and set [07760] it before [06440] Saul [07586]. And Samuel said [0559], Behold that which is left [07604] ! set [07760] it before [06440] thee, and eat [0398]: for unto this time [04150] hath it been kept [08104] for thee since I said [0559], I have invited [07121] the people [05971]. So Saul [07586] did eat [0398] with Samuel [08050] that day [03117]. 9 9 25 And when they were come down [03381] from the high place [01116] into the city [05892], Samuel communed [01696] with Saul [07586] upon the top of the house [01406]. 9 9 26 And they arose early [07925]: and it came to pass about the spring [05927] of the day [07837], that Samuel [08050] called [07121] Saul [07586] to the top of the house [01406], saying [0559], Up [06965], that I may send thee away [07971]. And Saul [07586] arose [06965], and they went out [03318] both [08147] of them, he and Samuel [08050], abroad [02351]. 9 9 27 And as they were going down [03381] to the end [07097] of the city [05892], Samuel [08050] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Bid [0559] the servant [05288] pass on [05674] before [06440] us, (and he passed on [05674] but stand [05975] thou still a while [03117], that I may shew [08085] thee the word [01697] of God [0430]. 9 10 1 Then Samuel [08050] took [03947] a vial [06378] of oil [08081], and poured [03332] it upon his head [07218], and kissed [05401] him, and said [0559], Is it not because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] thee to be captain [05057] over his inheritance [05159]? 9 10 2 When thou art departed [03212] from me [05978] to day [03117], then thou shalt find [04672] two [08147] men [0582] by Rachel's [07354] sepulchre [06900] in the border [01366] of Benjamin [01144] at Zelzah [06766]; and they will say [0559] unto thee, The asses [0860] which thou wentest [01980] to seek [01245] are found [04672]: and, lo, thy father [01] hath left [05203] the care [01697] of the asses [0860], and sorroweth [01672] for you, saying [0559], What shall I do [06213] for my son [01121]? 9 10 3 Then shalt thou go on [02498] forward [01973] from thence, and thou shalt come [0935] to the plain [0436] of Tabor [08396], and there shall meet [04672] thee three [07969] men [0582] going up [05927] to God [0430] to Bethel [01008], one [0259] carrying [05375] three [07969] kids [01423], and another [0259] carrying [05375] three [07969] loaves [03603] of bread [03899], and another [0259] carrying [05375] a bottle [05035] of wine [03196]: 9 10 4 And they will [07592] salute [07965] thee, and give [05414] thee two [08147] loaves of bread [03899]; which thou shalt receive [03947] of their hands [03027]. 9 10 5 After [0310] that thou shalt come [0935] to the hill [01389] of God [0430], where is the garrison [05333] of the Philistines [06430]: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither [0935] to the city [05892], that thou shalt meet [06293] a company [02256] of prophets [05030] coming down [03381] from the high place [01116] with a psaltery [05035], and a tabret [08596], and a pipe [02485], and a harp [03658], before [06440] them; and they shall prophesy [05012]: 9 10 6 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] will come [06743] upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy [05012] with them, and shalt be turned [02015] into another [0312] man [0376]. 9 10 7 And let it be, when these signs [0226] are come [0935] unto thee, that thou do [06213] as occasion [04672] serve [03027] thee; for God [0430] is with thee. 9 10 8 And thou shalt go down [03381] before [06440] me to Gilgal [01537]; and, behold, I will come down [03381] unto thee, to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and to sacrifice [02076] sacrifices [02077] of peace offerings [08002]: seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou tarry [03176], till I come [0935] to thee, and shew [03045] thee what thou shalt do [06213]. 9 10 9 And it was so, that when he had turned [06437] his back [07926] to go [03212] from Samuel [08050], God [0430] gave [02015] him another [0312] heart [03820]: and all those signs [0226] came [0935] to pass that day [03117]. 9 10 10 And when they came [0935] thither to the hill [01389], behold, a company [02256] of prophets [05030] met [07125] him; and the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] came [06743] upon him, and he prophesied [05012] among [08432] them. 9 10 11 And it came to pass, when all that knew [03045] him beforetime [0865] [08032] saw [07200] that, behold, he prophesied [05012] among the prophets [05030], then the people [05971] said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], What is this that is come unto the son [01121] of Kish [07027]? Is Saul [07586] also among the prophets [05030]? 9 10 12 And one [0376] of the same place answered [06030] and said [0559], But who is their father [01]? Therefore it became a proverb [04912], Is Saul [07586] also among the prophets [05030]? 9 10 13 And when he had made an end [03615] of prophesying [05012], he came [0935] to the high place [01116]. 9 10 14 And Saul's [07586] uncle [01730] said [0559] unto him and to his servant [05288], Whither [0575] went [01980] ye? And he said [0559], To seek [01245] the asses [0860]: and when we saw [07200] that they were no where [0369], we came [0935] to Samuel [08050]. 9 10 15 And Saul's [07586] uncle [01730] said [0559], Tell [05046] me, I pray thee, what Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto you. 9 10 16 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto his uncle [01730], He told [05046] us plainly [05046] that the asses [0860] were found [04672]. But of the matter [01697] of the kingdom [04410], whereof Samuel [08050] spake [0559], he told [05046] him not. 9 10 17 And Samuel [08050] called [06817] the people [05971] together unto the LORD [03068] to Mizpeh [04709]; 9 10 18 And said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I brought up [05927] Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714], and delivered [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and out of the hand [03027] of all kingdoms [04467], and of them that oppressed [03905] you: 9 10 19 And ye have this day [03117] rejected [03988] your God [0430], who himself saved [03467] you out of all your adversities [07451] and your tribulations [06869]; and ye have said [0559] unto him, Nay, but set [07760] a king [04428] over us. Now therefore present [03320] yourselves before [06440] the LORD [03068] by your tribes [07626], and by your thousands [0505]. 9 10 20 And when Samuel [08050] had caused all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to come near [07126], the tribe [07626] of Benjamin [01144] was taken [03920]. 9 10 21 When he had caused the tribe [07626] of Benjamin [01144] to come near [07126] by their families [04940], the family [04940] of Matri [04309] was taken [03920], and Saul [07586] the son [01121] of Kish [07027] was taken [03920]: and when they sought [01245] him, he could not be found [04672]. 9 10 22 Therefore they enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068] further, if the man [0376] should yet come [0935] thither [01988]. And the LORD [03068] answered [0559], Behold, he hath hid [02244] himself among the stuff [03627]. 9 10 23 And they ran [07323] and fetched [03947] him thence: and when he stood [03320] among [08432] the people [05971], he was higher [01361] than any of the people [05971] from his shoulders [07926] and upward [04605]. 9 10 24 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] to all the people [05971], See [07200] ye him whom the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977], that there is none like him among all the people [05971]? And all the people [05971] shouted [07321], and said [0559], God save [02421] the king [04428]. 9 10 25 Then Samuel [08050] told [01696] the people [05971] the manner [04941] of the kingdom [04410], and wrote [03789] it in a book [05612], and laid it up [03240] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. And Samuel [08050] sent [07971] all the people [05971] away [07971], every man [0376] to his house [01004]. 9 10 26 And Saul [07586] also went [01980] home [01004] to Gibeah [01390]; and there went [03212] with him a band of men [02428], whose hearts [03820] God [0430] had touched [05060]. 9 10 27 But the children [01121] of Belial [01100] said [0559], How shall this man save [03467] us? And they despised [0959] him, and brought [0935] him no presents [04503]. But he held his peace [02790]. 9 11 1 Then Nahash [05176] the Ammonite [05984] came up [05927], and encamped [02583] against Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568]: and all the men [0582] of Jabesh [03003] said [0559] unto Nahash [05176], Make [03772] a covenant [01285] with us, and we will serve [05647] thee. 9 11 2 And Nahash [05176] the Ammonite [05984] answered [0559] them, On this [02063] condition will I make [03772] a covenant with you, that I may thrust out [05365] all your right [03225] eyes [05869], and lay [07760] it for a reproach [02781] upon all Israel [03478]. 9 11 3 And the elders [02205] of Jabesh [03003] said [0559] unto him, Give us seven [07651] days [03117]' respite [07503], that we may send [07971] messengers [04397] unto all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478]: and then, if there be no man to save [03467] us, we will come out [03318] to thee. 9 11 4 Then came [0935] the messengers [04397] to Gibeah [01390] of Saul [07586], and told [01696] the tidings [01697] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971]: and all the people [05971] lifted up [05375] their voices [06963], and wept [01058]. 9 11 5 And, behold, Saul [07586] came [0935] after [0310] the herd [01241] out of the field [07704]; and Saul [07586] said [0559], What aileth the people [05971] that they weep [01058]? And they told [05608] him the tidings [01697] of the men [0582] of Jabesh [03003]. 9 11 6 And the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] came [06743] upon Saul [07586] when he heard [08085] those tidings [01697], and his anger [0639] was kindled [02734] greatly [03966]. 9 11 7 And he took [03947] a yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and hewed them in pieces [05408], and sent [07971] them throughout all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478] by the hands [03027] of messengers [04397], saying [0559], Whosoever cometh not forth [03318] after [0310] Saul [07586] and after [0310] Samuel [08050], so shall it be done [06213] unto his oxen [01241]. And the fear [06343] of the LORD [03068] fell [05307] on the people [05971], and they came out [03318] with one [0259] consent [0376]. 9 11 8 And when he numbered [06485] them in Bezek [0966], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505], and the men [0376] of Judah [03063] thirty [07970] thousand [0505]. 9 11 9 And they said [0559] unto the messengers [04397] that came [0935], Thus shall ye say [0559] unto the men [0376] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568], To morrow [04279], by that time the sun [08121] be hot [02527], ye shall have help [08668]. And the messengers [04397] came [0935] and shewed [05046] it to the men [0582] of Jabesh [03003]; and they were glad [08055]. 9 11 10 Therefore the men [0582] of Jabesh [03003] said [0559], To morrow [04279] we will come out [03318] unto you, and ye shall do [06213] with us all that seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto you. 9 11 11 And it was so on the morrow [04283], that Saul [07586] put [07760] the people [05971] in three [07969] companies [07218]; and they came [0935] into the midst [08432] of the host [04264] in the morning [01242] watch [0821], and slew [05221] the Ammonites [05983] until the heat [02527] of the day [03117]: and it came to pass, that they which remained [07604] were scattered [06327], so that two [08147] of them were not left [07604] together [03162]. 9 11 12 And the people [05971] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Who is he that said [0559], Shall Saul [07586] reign [04427] over us? bring [05414] the men [0582], that we may put them to death [04191]. 9 11 13 And Saul [07586] said [0559], There shall not a man [0376] be put to death [04191] this day [03117]: for to day [03117] the LORD [03068] hath wrought [06213] salvation [08668] in Israel [03478]. 9 11 14 Then said [0559] Samuel [08050] to the people [05971], Come [03212], and let us go [03212] to Gilgal [01537], and renew [02318] the kingdom [04410] there. 9 11 15 And all the people [05971] went [03212] to Gilgal [01537]; and there they made Saul [07586] king [04427] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in Gilgal [01537]; and there they sacrificed [02076] sacrifices [02077] of peace offerings [08002] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and there Saul [07586] and all the men [0582] of Israel [03478] rejoiced [08055] greatly [03966]. 9 12 1 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto all Israel [03478], Behold, I have hearkened [08085] unto your voice [06963] in all that ye said [0559] unto me, and have made [04427] a king [04428] over you. 9 12 2 And now, behold, the king [04428] walketh [01980] before [06440] you: and I am old [02204] and grayheaded [07867]; and, behold, my sons [01121] are with you: and I have walked [01980] before [06440] you from my childhood [05271] unto this day [03117]. 9 12 3 Behold, here I am: witness [06030] against me before the LORD [03068], and before his anointed [04899]: whose ox [07794] have I taken [03947]? or whose ass [02543] have I taken [03947]? or whom have I defrauded [06231]? whom have I oppressed [07533]? or of whose hand [03027] have I received any bribe [03724] to blind [05956] mine eyes [05869] therewith? and I will restore [07725] it you. 9 12 4 And they said [0559], Thou hast not defrauded [06231] us, nor oppressed [07533] us, neither hast thou taken [03947] ought [03972] of any man's [0376] hand [03027]. 9 12 5 And he said [0559] unto them, The LORD [03068] is witness [05707] against you, and his anointed [04899] is witness [05707] this day [03117], that ye have not found [04672] ought [03972] in my hand [03027]. And they answered [0559], He is witness [05707]. 9 12 6 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto the people [05971], It is the LORD [03068] that advanced [06213] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], and that brought [05927] your fathers [01] up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 9 12 7 Now therefore stand still [03320], that I may reason [08199] with you before [06440] the LORD [03068] of all the righteous acts [06666] of the LORD [03068], which he did [06213] to you and to your fathers [01]. 9 12 8 When Jacob [03290] was come [0935] into Egypt [04714], and your fathers [01] cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], then the LORD [03068] sent [07971] Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175], which brought forth [03318] your fathers [01] out of Egypt [04714], and made them dwell [03427] in this place [04725]. 9 12 9 And when they forgat [07911] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], he sold [04376] them into the hand [03027] of Sisera [05516], captain [08269] of the host [06635] of Hazor [02674], and into the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430], and into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Moab [04124], and they fought [03898] against them. 9 12 10 And they cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], We have sinned [02398], because we have forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068], and have served [05647] Baalim [01168] and Ashtaroth [06252]: but now deliver [05337] us out of the hand [03027] of our enemies [0341], and we will serve [05647] thee. 9 12 11 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] Jerubbaal [03378], and Bedan [0917], and Jephthah [03316], and Samuel [08050], and delivered [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of your enemies [0341] on every side [05439], and ye dwelled [03427] safe [0983]. 9 12 12 And when ye saw [07200] that Nahash [05176] the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] came [0935] against you, ye said [0559] unto me, Nay; but a king [04428] shall reign [04427] over us: when the LORD [03068] your God [0430] was your king [04428]. 9 12 13 Now therefore behold the king [04428] whom ye have chosen [0977], and whom ye have desired [07592] ! and, behold, the LORD [03068] hath set [05414] a king [04428] over you. 9 12 14 If ye will fear [03372] the LORD [03068], and serve [05647] him, and obey [08085] his voice [06963], and not rebel [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], then shall both ye and also the king [04428] that reigneth [04427] over you continue following [0310] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: 9 12 15 But if ye will not obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], but rebel [04784] against the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], then shall the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] be against you, as it was against your fathers [01]. 9 12 16 Now therefore [01571] stand [03320] and see [07200] this great [01419] thing [01697], which the LORD [03068] will do [06213] before your eyes [05869]. 9 12 17 Is it not wheat [02406] harvest [07105] to day [03117]? I will call [07121] unto the LORD [03068], and he shall send [05414] thunder [06963] and rain [04306]; that ye may perceive [03045] and see [07200] that your wickedness [07451] is great [07227], which ye have done [06213] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], in asking [07592] you a king [04428]. 9 12 18 So Samuel [08050] called [07121] unto the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] sent [05414] thunder [06963] and rain [04306] that day [03117]: and all the people [05971] greatly [03966] feared [03372] the LORD [03068] and Samuel [08050]. 9 12 19 And all the people [05971] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Pray [06419] for thy servants [05650] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], that we die [04191] not: for we have added [03254] unto all our sins [02403] this evil [07451], to ask [07592] us a king [04428]. 9 12 20 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Fear [03372] not: ye have done [06213] all this wickedness [07451]: yet turn not aside [05493] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], but serve [05647] the LORD [03068] with all your heart [03824]; 9 12 21 And turn ye not aside [05493]: for then should ye go after [0310] vain [08414] things, which cannot profit [03276] nor deliver [05337]; for they are vain [08414]. 9 12 22 For the LORD [03068] will not forsake [05203] his people [05971] for his great [01419] name's [08034] sake: because it hath pleased [02974] the LORD [03068] to make [06213] you his people [05971]. 9 12 23 Moreover as for me [0595], God forbid [02486] that I should sin [02398] against the LORD [03068] in ceasing [02308] to pray [06419] for you: but I will teach [03384] you the good [02896] and the right [03477] way [01870]: 9 12 24 Only fear [03372] the LORD [03068], and serve [05647] him in truth [0571] with all your heart [03824]: for consider [07200] how great things he hath done [01431] for you. 9 12 25 But if ye shall still [07489] do wickedly [07489], ye shall be consumed [05595], both ye and your king [04428]. 9 13 1 Saul [07586] reigned [04427] one year [01121] [08141]; and when he had reigned [04427] two [08147] years [08141] over Israel [03478], 9 13 2 Saul [07586] chose [0977] him three [07969] thousand [0505] men of Israel [03478]; whereof two thousand [0505] were with Saul [07586] in Michmash [04363] and in mount [02022] Bethel [01008], and a thousand [0505] were with Jonathan [03129] in Gibeah [01390] of Benjamin [01144]: and the rest [03499] of the people [05971] he sent [07971] every man [0376] to his tent [0168]. 9 13 3 And Jonathan [03129] smote [05221] the garrison [05333] of the Philistines [06430] that was in Geba [01387], and the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] of it. And Saul [07586] blew [08628] the trumpet [07782] throughout all the land [0776], saying [0559], Let the Hebrews [05680] hear [08085]. 9 13 4 And all Israel [03478] heard [08085] say [0559] that Saul [07586] had smitten [05221] a garrison [05333] of the Philistines [06430], and that Israel [03478] also was had in abomination [0887] with the Philistines [06430]. And the people [05971] were called together [06817] after [0310] Saul [07586] to Gilgal [01537]. 9 13 5 And the Philistines [06430] gathered themselves together [0622] to fight [03898] with Israel [03478], thirty [07970] thousand [0505] chariots [07393], and six [08337] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571], and people [05971] as the sand [02344] which is on the sea [03220] shore [08193] in multitude [07230]: and they came up [05927], and pitched [02583] in Michmash [04363], eastward [06926] from Bethaven [01007]. 9 13 6 When the men [0376] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] that they were in a strait [06887], (for the people [05971] were distressed [05065] then the people [05971] did hide [02244] themselves in caves [04631], and in thickets [02337], and in rocks [05553], and in high places [06877], and in pits [0953]. 9 13 7 And some of the Hebrews [05680] went over [05674] Jordan [03383] to the land [0776] of Gad [01410] and Gilead [01568]. As for Saul [07586], he was yet in Gilgal [01537], and all the people [05971] followed [0310] him trembling [02729]. 9 13 8 And he tarried [03176] [03176] seven [07651] days [03117], according to the set time [04150] that Samuel [08050] had appointed: but Samuel [08050] came [0935] not to Gilgal [01537]; and the people [05971] were scattered [06327] from him. 9 13 9 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Bring hither [05066] a burnt offering [05930] to me, and peace offerings [08002]. And he offered [05927] the burnt offering [05930]. 9 13 10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end [03615] of offering [05927] the burnt offering [05930], behold, Samuel [08050] came [0935]; and Saul [07586] went out [03318] to meet [07125] him, that he might salute [01288] him. 9 13 11 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], What hast thou done [06213]? And Saul [07586] said [0559], Because I saw [07200] that the people [05971] were scattered [05310] from me, and that thou camest [0935] not within the days [03117] appointed [04150], and that the Philistines [06430] gathered themselves together [0622] at Michmash [04363]; 9 13 12 Therefore said [0559] I, The Philistines [06430] will come down [03381] now upon me to Gilgal [01537], and I have not made supplication [02470] unto [06440] the LORD [03068]: I forced [0662] myself therefore, and offered [05927] a burnt offering [05930]. 9 13 13 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Thou hast done foolishly [05528]: thou hast not kept [08104] the commandment [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which he commanded [06680] thee: for now would the LORD [03068] have established [03559] thy kingdom [04467] upon Israel [03478] for [05704] ever [05769]. 9 13 14 But now thy kingdom [04467] shall not continue [06965]: the LORD [03068] hath sought [01245] him a man [0376] after his own heart [03824], and the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680] him to be captain [05057] over his people [05971], because thou hast not kept [08104] that which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] thee. 9 13 15 And Samuel [08050] arose [06965], and gat him up [05927] from Gilgal [01537] unto Gibeah [01390] of Benjamin [01144]. And Saul [07586] numbered [06485] the people [05971] that were present [04672] with him, about six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376]. 9 13 16 And Saul [07586], and Jonathan [03129] his son [01121], and the people [05971] that were present [04672] with them, abode [03427] in Gibeah [01387] of Benjamin [01144]: but the Philistines [06430] encamped [02583] in Michmash [04363]. 9 13 17 And the spoilers [07843] came out [03318] of the camp [04264] of the Philistines [06430] in three [07969] companies [07218]: one [0259] company [07218] turned [06437] unto the way [01870] that leadeth to Ophrah [06084], unto the land [0776] of Shual [07777]: 9 13 18 And another [0259] company [07218] turned [06437] the way [01870] to Bethhoron [01032]: and another [0259] company [07218] turned [06437] to the way [01870] of the border [01366] that looketh [08259] to the valley [01516] of Zeboim [06650] toward the wilderness [04057]. 9 13 19 Now there was no smith [02796] found [04672] throughout all the land [0776] of Israel [03478]: for the Philistines [06430] said [0559], Lest the Hebrews [05680] make [06213] them swords [02719] or spears [02595]: 9 13 20 But all the Israelites [03478] went down [03381] to the Philistines [06430], to sharpen [03913] every man [0376] his share [04282], and his coulter [0855], and his axe [07134], and his mattock [04281]. 9 13 21 Yet they had a file [06477] [06310] for the mattocks [04281], and for the coulters [0855], and for the forks [07969] [07053], and for the axes [07134], and to sharpen [05324] the goads [01861]. 9 13 22 So it came to pass in the day [03117] of battle [04421], that there was neither sword [02719] nor spear [02595] found [04672] in the hand [03027] of any of the people [05971] that were with Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03129]: but with Saul [07586] and with Jonathan [03129] his son [01121] was there found [04672]. 9 13 23 And the garrison [04673] of the Philistines [06430] went out [03318] to the passage [04569] of Michmash [04363]. 9 14 1 Now it came to pass upon a day [03117], that Jonathan [03129] the son [01121] of Saul [07586] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that bare [05375] his armour [03627], Come [03212], and let us go over [05674] to the Philistines [06430]' garrison [04673], that is on the other side [05676] [01975]. But he told [05046] not his father [01]. 9 14 2 And Saul [07586] tarried [03427] in the uttermost [07097] part of Gibeah [01390] under a pomegranate tree [07416] which is in Migron [04051]: and the people [05971] that were with him were about six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376]; 9 14 3 And Ahiah [0281], the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], Ichabod's [0350] brother [0251], the son [01121] of Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eli [05941], the LORD'S [03068] priest [03548] in Shiloh [07887], wearing [05375] an ephod [0646]. And the people [05971] knew [03045] not that Jonathan [03129] was gone [01980]. 9 14 4 And between the passages [04569], by which Jonathan [03129] sought [01245] to go over [05674] unto the Philistines [06430]' garrison [04673], there was a sharp [08127] rock [05553] on the one side [05676], and a sharp [08127] rock [05553] on the other side [05676]: and the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Bozez [0949], and the name [08034] of the other [0259] Seneh [05573]. 9 14 5 The forefront [08127] of the one [0259] was situate [04690] northward [06828] over against [04136] Michmash [04363], and the other [0259] southward [05045] over against [04136] Gibeah [01387]. 9 14 6 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] to the young man [05288] that bare [05375] his armour [03627], Come [03212], and let us go over [05674] unto the garrison [04673] of these uncircumcised [06189]: it may be that the LORD [03068] will work [06213] for us: for there is no restraint [04622] to the LORD [03068] to save [03467] by many [07227] or by few [04592]. 9 14 7 And his armourbearer [05375] [03627] said [0559] unto him, Do [06213] all that is in thine heart [03824]: turn [05186] thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart [03824]. 9 14 8 Then said [0559] Jonathan [03083], Behold, we will pass over [05674] unto these men [0582], and we will discover [01540] ourselves unto them. 9 14 9 If they say [0559] thus unto us, Tarry [01826] until we come [05060] to you; then we will stand still [05975] in our place, and will not go up [05927] unto them. 9 14 10 But if they say [0559] thus, Come up [05927] unto us; then we will go up [05927]: for the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] them into our hand [03027]: and this shall be a sign [0226] unto us. 9 14 11 And both [08147] of them discovered [01540] themselves unto the garrison [04673] of the Philistines [06430]: and the Philistines [06430] said [0559], Behold, the Hebrews [05680] come forth [03318] out of the holes [02356] where they had hid [02244] themselves. 9 14 12 And the men [0582] of the garrison [04675] answered [06030] Jonathan [03129] and his armourbearer [05375] [03627], and said [0559], Come up [05927] to us, and we will shew [03045] you a thing [01697]. And Jonathan [03129] said [0559] unto his armourbearer [05375] [03627], Come up [05927] after [0310] me: for the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478]. 9 14 13 And Jonathan [03129] climbed up [05927] upon his hands [03027] and upon his feet [07272], and his armourbearer [05375] [03627] after [0310] him: and they fell [05307] before [06440] Jonathan [03129]; and his armourbearer [05375] [03627] slew [04191] after [0310] him. 9 14 14 And that first [07223] slaughter [04347], which Jonathan [03129] and his armourbearer [05375] [03627] made [05221], was about twenty [06242] men [0376], within as it were an half [02677] acre [04618] of land [07704], which a yoke [06776] of oxen might plow. 9 14 15 And there was trembling [02731] in the host [04264], in the field [07704], and among all the people [05971]: the garrison [04673], and the spoilers [07843], they also trembled [02729], and the earth [0776] quaked [07264]: so it was a very great [0430] trembling [02731]. 9 14 16 And the watchmen [06822] of Saul [07586] in Gibeah [01390] of Benjamin [01144] looked [07200]; and, behold, the multitude [01995] melted away [04127], and they went [03212] on beating down [01986] one another. 9 14 17 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] unto the people [05971] that were with him, Number [06485] now, and see [07200] who is gone [01980] from us. And when they had numbered [06485], behold, Jonathan [03129] and his armourbearer [05375] [03627] were not there. 9 14 18 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto Ahiah [0281], Bring hither [05066] the ark [0727] of God [0430]. For the ark [0727] of God [0430] was at that time [03117] with the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 9 14 19 And it came to pass, while Saul [07586] talked [01696] unto the priest [03548], that the noise [01995] that was in the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430] went [03212] on [01980] and increased [07227]: and Saul [07586] said [0559] unto the priest [03548], Withdraw [0622] thine hand [03027]. 9 14 20 And Saul [07586] and all the people [05971] that were with him assembled [02199] themselves, and they came [0935] to the battle [04421]: and, behold, every man's [0376] sword [02719] was against his fellow [07453], and there was a very [03966] great [01419] discomfiture [04103]. 9 14 21 Moreover the Hebrews [05680] that were with the Philistines [06430] before [0865] that time [08032], which went up [05927] with them into the camp [04264] from the country round about [05439], even they also turned to be with the Israelites [03478] that were with Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03129]. 9 14 22 Likewise all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] which had hid [02244] themselves in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], when they heard [08085] that the Philistines [06430] fled [05127], even they also followed hard [01692] after [0310] them in the battle [04421]. 9 14 23 So the LORD [03068] saved [03467] Israel [03478] that day [03117]: and the battle [04421] passed over [05674] unto Bethaven [01007]. 9 14 24 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] were distressed [05065] that day [03117]: for Saul [07586] had adjured [0422] the people [05971], saying [0559], Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] that eateth [0398] any food [03899] until evening [06153], that I may be avenged [05358] on mine enemies [0341]. So none of the people [05971] tasted [02938] any food [03899]. 9 14 25 And all they of the land [0776] came [0935] to a wood [03293]; and there was honey [01706] upon [06440] the ground [07704]. 9 14 26 And when the people [05971] were come [0935] into the wood [03293], behold, the honey [01706] dropped [01982]; but no man put [05381] his hand [03027] to his mouth [06310]: for the people [05971] feared [03372] the oath [07621]. 9 14 27 But Jonathan [03129] heard [08085] not when his father [01] charged [07650] the people [05971] with the oath [07650]: wherefore he put forth [07971] the end [07097] of the rod [04294] that was in his hand [03027], and dipped [02881] it in an honeycomb [03295] [01706], and put [07725] his hand [03027] to his mouth [06310]; and his eyes [05869] were enlightened [0215]. 9 14 28 Then answered [06030] one [0376] of the people [05971], and said [0559], Thy father [01] straitly [07650] charged [07650] the people [05971] with an oath [07650], saying [0559], Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] that eateth [0398] any food [03899] this day [03117]. And the people [05971] were faint [05774]. 9 14 29 Then said [0559] Jonathan [03129], My father [01] hath troubled [05916] the land [0776]: see [07200], I pray you, how mine eyes [05869] have been enlightened [0215], because I tasted [02938] a little [04592] of this honey [01706]. 9 14 30 How much more [0637], if haply [03863] the people [05971] had eaten [0398] freely [0398] to day [03117] of the spoil [07998] of their enemies [0341] which they found [04672]? for had there not been now a much greater [07235] slaughter [04347] among the Philistines [06430]? 9 14 31 And they smote [05221] the Philistines [06430] that day [03117] from Michmash [04363] to Aijalon [0357]: and the people [05971] were very [03966] faint [05774]. 9 14 32 And the people [05971] flew [05860] [06213] upon the spoil [07998], and took [03947] sheep [06629], and oxen [01241], and calves [01121], and slew [07819] them on the ground [0776]: and the people [05971] did eat [0398] them with the blood [01818]. 9 14 33 Then they told [05046] Saul [07586], saying [0559], Behold, the people [05971] sin [02398] against the LORD [03068], in that they eat [0398] with the blood [01818]. And he said [0559], Ye have transgressed [0898]: roll [01556] a great [01419] stone [068] unto me this day [03117]. 9 14 34 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Disperse [06327] yourselves among the people [05971], and say [0559] unto them, Bring me hither [05066] every man [0376] his ox [07794], and every man [0376] his sheep [07716], and slay [07819] them here, and eat [0398]; and sin [02398] not against the LORD [03068] in eating [0398] with the blood [01818]. And all the people [05971] brought [05066] every man [0376] his ox [07794] with him [03027] that night [03915], and slew [07819] them there. 9 14 35 And Saul [07586] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068]: the same was the first [02490] altar [04196] that he built [01129] unto the LORD [03068]. 9 14 36 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Let us go down [03381] after [0310] the Philistines [06430] by night [03915], and spoil [0962] them until the morning [01242] light [0216], and let us not leave [07604] a man [0376] of them. And they said [0559], Do [06213] whatsoever seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto thee. Then said [0559] the priest [03548], Let us draw near [07126] hither [01988] unto God [0430]. 9 14 37 And Saul [07586] asked [07592] counsel of God [0430], Shall I go down [03381] after [0310] the Philistines [06430]? wilt thou deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Israel [03478]? But he answered [06030] him not that day [03117]. 9 14 38 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Draw ye near [05066] hither [01988], all the chief [06438] of the people [05971]: and know [03045] and see [07200] wherein [04100] this sin [02403] hath been this day [03117]. 9 14 39 For, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which saveth [03467] Israel [03478], though it be [03426] in Jonathan [03129] my son [01121], he shall surely [04191] die [04191]. But there was not a man among all the people [05971] that answered [06030] him. 9 14 40 Then said [0559] he unto all Israel [03478], Be ye on one [0259] side [05676], and I and Jonathan [03129] my son [01121] will be on the other [0259] side [05676]. And the people [05971] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], Do [06213] what seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto thee. 9 14 41 Therefore Saul [07586] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Give [03051] a perfect [08549] lot. And Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03129] were taken [03920]: but the people [05971] escaped [03318]. 9 14 42 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Cast [05307] lots between me and Jonathan [03129] my son [01121]. And Jonathan [03129] was taken [03920]. 9 14 43 Then Saul [07586] said [0559] to Jonathan [03129], Tell [05046] me what thou hast done [06213]. And Jonathan [03129] told [05046] him, and said [0559], I did but [02938] taste [02938] a little [04592] honey [01706] with the end [07097] of the rod [04294] that was in mine hand [03027], and, lo [02009], I must die [04191]. 9 14 44 And Saul [07586] answered [0559], God [0430] do so [06213] and more also [03254]: for thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191], Jonathan [03129]. 9 14 45 And the people [05971] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], Shall Jonathan [03129] die [04191], who hath wrought [06213] this great [01419] salvation [03444] in Israel [03478]? God forbid [02486]: as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], there shall not one hair [08185] of his head [07218] fall [05307] to the ground [0776]; for he hath wrought [06213] with God [0430] this day [03117]. So the people [05971] rescued [06299] Jonathan [03129], that he died [04191] not. 9 14 46 Then Saul [07586] went up [05927] from following [0310] the Philistines [06430]: and the Philistines [06430] went [01980] to their own place [04725]. 9 14 47 So Saul [07586] took [03920] the kingdom [04410] over Israel [03478], and fought [03898] against all his enemies [0341] on every side [05439], against Moab [04124], and against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and against Edom [0123], and against the kings [04428] of Zobah [06678], and against the Philistines [06430]: and whithersoever he turned [06437] himself, he vexed [07561] them. 9 14 48 And he gathered [06213] an host [02428], and smote [05221] the Amalekites [06002], and delivered [05337] Israel [03478] out of the hands [03027] of them that spoiled [08154] them. 9 14 49 Now the sons [01121] of Saul [07586] were Jonathan [03129], and Ishui [03440], and Melchishua [04444]: and the names [08034] of his two [08147] daughters [01323] were these; the name [08034] of the firstborn [01067] Merab [04764], and the name [08034] of the younger [06996] Michal [04324]: 9 14 50 And the name [08034] of Saul's [07586] wife [0802] was Ahinoam [0293], the daughter [01323] of Ahimaaz [0290]: and the name [08034] of the captain [08269] of his host [06635] was Abner [074], the son [01121] of Ner [05369], Saul's [07586] uncle [01730]. 9 14 51 And Kish [07027] was the father [01] of Saul [07586]; and Ner [05369] the father [01] of Abner [074] was the son [01121] of Abiel [022]. 9 14 52 And there was sore [02389] war [04421] against the Philistines [06430] all the days [03117] of Saul [07586]: and when Saul [07586] saw [07200] any strong [01368] man [0376], or any valiant [02428] man [01121], he took [0622] him unto him. 9 15 1 Samuel [08050] also said [0559] unto Saul [07586], The LORD [03068] sent [07971] me to anoint [04886] thee to be king [04428] over his people [05971], over Israel [03478]: now therefore hearken [08085] thou unto the voice [06963] of the words [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 9 15 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I remember [06485] that which Amalek [06002] did [06213] to Israel [03478], how he laid [07760] wait for him in the way [01870], when he came up [05927] from Egypt [04714]. 9 15 3 Now go [03212] and smite [05221] Amalek [06002], and utterly destroy [02763] all that they have, and spare [02550] them not; but slay [04191] both man [0376] and woman [0802], infant [05768] and suckling [03243], ox [07794] and sheep [07716], camel [01581] and ass [02543]. 9 15 4 And Saul [07586] gathered [08085] the people [05971] together [08085], and numbered [06485] them in Telaim [02923], two hundred [03967] thousand [0505] footmen [07273], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] men [0376] of Judah [03063]. 9 15 5 And Saul [07586] came [0935] to a city [05892] of Amalek [06002], and laid wait [07378] [0693] in the valley [05158]. 9 15 6 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto the Kenites [07017], Go [03212], depart [05493], get you down [03381] from among [08432] the Amalekites [06002], lest I destroy [0622] you with them: for ye shewed [06213] kindness [02617] to all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when they came up [05927] out of Egypt [04714]. So the Kenites [07017] departed [05493] from among [08432] the Amalekites [06003]. 9 15 7 And Saul [07586] smote [05221] the Amalekites [06002] from Havilah [02341] until thou comest [0935] to Shur [07793], that is over against [06440] Egypt [04714]. 9 15 8 And he took [08610] Agag [090] the king [04428] of the Amalekites [06002] alive [02416], and utterly destroyed [02763] all the people [05971] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 9 15 9 But Saul [07586] and the people [05971] spared [02550] Agag [090], and the best [04315] of the sheep [06629], and of the oxen [01241], and of the fatlings [04932], and the lambs [03733], and all that was good [02896], and would [014] not utterly destroy [02763] them: but every thing [04399] that was vile [05240] and refuse [04549], that they destroyed utterly [02763]. 9 15 10 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Samuel [08050], saying [0559], 9 15 11 It repenteth [05162] me that I have set up [04427] Saul [07586] to be king [04428]: for he is turned back [07725] from following [0310] me, and hath not performed [06965] my commandments [01697]. And it grieved [02734] Samuel [08050]; and he cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068] all night [03915]. 9 15 12 And when Samuel [08050] rose early [07925] to meet [07125] Saul [07586] in the morning [01242], it was told [05046] Samuel [08050], saying [0559], Saul [07586] came [0935] to Carmel [03760], and, behold, he set him up [05324] a place [03027], and is gone about [05437], and passed on [05674], and gone down [03381] to Gilgal [01537]. 9 15 13 And Samuel [08050] came [0935] to Saul [07586]: and Saul [07586] said [0559] unto him, Blessed [01288] be thou of the LORD [03068]: I have performed [06965] the commandment [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 9 15 14 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], What meaneth then this bleating [06963] of the sheep [06629] in mine ears [0241], and the lowing [06963] of the oxen [01241] which I hear [08085]? 9 15 15 And Saul [07586] said [0559], They have brought [0935] them from the Amalekites [06003]: for the people [05971] spared [02550] the best [04315] of the sheep [06629] and of the oxen [01241], to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; and the rest [03498] we have utterly destroyed [02763]. 9 15 16 Then Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], Stay [07503], and I will tell [05046] thee what the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] to me this night [03915]. And he said [0559] unto him, Say on [01696]. 9 15 17 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], When thou wast little [06996] in thine own sight [05869], wast thou not made the head [07218] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], and the LORD [03068] anointed [04886] thee king [04428] over Israel [03478]? 9 15 18 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] thee on a journey [01870], and said [0559], Go [03212] and utterly destroy [02763] the sinners [02400] the Amalekites [06002], and fight [03898] against them until they be consumed [03615]. 9 15 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], but didst fly [05860] upon the spoil [07998], and didst [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]? 9 15 20 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Yea, I have obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], and have gone [03212] the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] sent [07971] me, and have brought [0935] Agag [090] the king [04428] of Amalek [06002], and have utterly destroyed [02763] the Amalekites [06002]. 9 15 21 But the people [05971] took [03947] of the spoil [07998], sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], the chief [07225] of the things which should have been utterly destroyed [02764], to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Gilgal [01537]. 9 15 22 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], Hath the LORD [03068] as great delight [02656] in burnt offerings [05930] and sacrifices [02077], as in obeying [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]? Behold, to obey [08085] is better [02896] than sacrifice [02077], and to hearken [07181] than the fat [02459] of rams [0352]. 9 15 23 For rebellion [04805] is as the sin [02403] of witchcraft [07081], and stubbornness [06484] is as iniquity [0205] and idolatry [08655]. Because thou hast rejected [03988] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], he hath also rejected [03988] thee from being king [04428]. 9 15 24 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], I have sinned [02398]: for I have transgressed [05674] the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068], and thy words [01697]: because I feared [03372] the people [05971], and obeyed [08085] their voice [06963]. 9 15 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon [05375] my sin [02403], and turn again [07725] with me, that I may worship [07812] the LORD [03068]. 9 15 26 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], I will not return [07725] with thee: for thou hast rejected [03988] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and the LORD [03068] hath rejected [03988] thee from being king [04428] over Israel [03478]. 9 15 27 And as Samuel [08050] turned about [05437] to go away [03212], he laid hold [02388] upon the skirt [03671] of his mantle [04598], and it rent [07167]. 9 15 28 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] hath rent [07167] the kingdom [04468] of Israel [03478] from thee this day [03117], and hath given [05414] it to a neighbour [07453] of thine, that is better [02896] than thou. 9 15 29 And also the Strength [05331] of Israel [03478] will not lie [08266] nor repent [05162]: for he is not a man [0120], that he should repent [05162]. 9 15 30 Then he said [0559], I have sinned [02398]: yet honour [03513] me now, I pray thee, before the elders [02205] of my people [05971], and before Israel [03478], and turn again [07725] with me, that I may worship [07812] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 9 15 31 So Samuel [08050] turned again [07725] after [0310] Saul [07586]; and Saul [07586] worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068]. 9 15 32 Then said [0559] Samuel [08050], Bring ye hither [05066] to me Agag [090] the king [04428] of the Amalekites [06002]. And Agag [090] came [03212] unto him delicately [04574]. And Agag [090] said [0559], Surely [0403] the bitterness [04751] of death [04194] is past [05493]. 9 15 33 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], As thy sword [02719] hath made women [0802] childless [07921], so shall thy mother [0517] be childless [07921] among women [0802]. And Samuel [08050] hewed [08158] Agag [090] in pieces [08158] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in Gilgal [01537]. 9 15 34 Then Samuel [08050] went [03212] to Ramah [07414]; and Saul [07586] went up [05927] to his house [01004] to Gibeah [01390] of Saul [07586]. 9 15 35 And Samuel [08050] came no more [03254] to see [07200] Saul [07586] until the day [03117] of his death [04194]: nevertheless [03588] Samuel [08050] mourned [056] for Saul [07586]: and the LORD [03068] repented [05162] that he had made Saul [07586] king [04427] over Israel [03478]. 9 16 1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], How long wilt thou mourn [056] for Saul [07586], seeing I have rejected [03988] him from reigning [04427] over Israel [03478]? fill [04390] thine horn [07161] with oil [08081], and go [03212], I will send [07971] thee to Jesse [03448] the Bethlehemite [01022]: for I have provided [07200] me a king [04428] among his sons [01121]. 9 16 2 And Samuel [08050] said [0559], How can I go [03212]? if Saul [07586] hear [08085] it, he will kill [02026] me. And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Take [03947] an heifer [01241] [05697] with thee [03027], and say [0559], I am come [0935] to sacrifice [02076] to the LORD [03068]. 9 16 3 And call [07121] Jesse [03448] to the sacrifice [02077], and I will shew [03045] thee what thou shalt do [06213]: and thou shalt anoint [04886] unto me him whom I name [0559] unto thee. 9 16 4 And Samuel [08050] did [06213] that which the LORD [03068] spake [01696], and came [0935] to Bethlehem [01035]. And the elders [02205] of the town [05892] trembled [02729] at his coming [07125], and said [0559], Comest [0935] thou peaceably [07965]? 9 16 5 And he said [0559], Peaceably [07965]: I am come [0935] to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068]: sanctify [06942] yourselves, and come [0935] with me to the sacrifice [02077]. And he sanctified [06942] Jesse [03448] and his sons [01121], and called [07121] them to the sacrifice [02077]. 9 16 6 And it came to pass, when they were come [0935], that he looked [07200] on Eliab [0446], and said [0559], Surely the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899] is before him. 9 16 7 But the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Samuel [08050], Look [05027] not on his countenance [04758], or on the height [01364] of his stature [06967]; because I have refused [03988] him: for the LORD seeth not as man [0120] seeth [07200]; for man [0120] looketh [07200] on the outward appearance [05869], but the LORD [03068] looketh [07200] on the heart [03824]. 9 16 8 Then Jesse [03448] called [07121] Abinadab [041], and made him pass [05674] before [06440] Samuel [08050]. And he said [0559], Neither hath the LORD [03068] chosen [0977] this. 9 16 9 Then Jesse [03448] made Shammah [08048] to pass by [05674]. And he said [0559], Neither hath the LORD [03068] chosen [0977] this. 9 16 10 Again, Jesse [03448] made seven [07651] of his sons [01121] to pass [05674] before [06440] Samuel [08050]. And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Jesse [03448], The LORD [03068] hath not chosen [0977] these. 9 16 11 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Jesse [03448], Are here all [08552] thy children [05288]? And he said [0559], There remaineth [07604] yet the youngest [06996], and, behold, he keepeth [07462] the sheep [06629]. And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Jesse [03448], Send [07971] and fetch [03947] him: for we will not sit down [05437] till he come [0935] hither [06311]. 9 16 12 And he sent [07971], and brought him in [0935]. Now he was ruddy [0132], and withal [05973] of a beautiful [03303] countenance [05869], and goodly [02896] to look to [07210]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Arise [06965], anoint [04886] him: for this is he. 9 16 13 Then Samuel [08050] took [03947] the horn [07161] of oil [08081], and anointed [04886] him in the midst [07130] of his brethren [0251]: and the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] came [06743] upon David [01732] from that day [03117] forward [04605]. So Samuel [08050] rose up [06965], and went [03212] to Ramah [07414]. 9 16 14 But the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] departed [05493] from Saul [07586], and an evil [07451] spirit [07307] from the LORD [03068] troubled [01204] him. 9 16 15 And Saul's [07586] servants [05650] said [0559] unto him, Behold now, an evil [07451] spirit [07307] from God [0430] troubleth [01204] thee. 9 16 16 Let our lord [0113] now command [0559] thy servants [05650], which are before [06440] thee, to seek out [01245] a man [0376], who is a cunning [03045] player [05059] on an harp [03658]: and it shall come to pass, when the evil [07451] spirit [07307] from God [0430] is upon thee, that he shall play [05059] with his hand [03027], and thou shalt be well [02895]. 9 16 17 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Provide [07200] me now a man [0376] that can play [05059] well [03190], and bring [0935] him to me. 9 16 18 Then answered [06030] one [0259] of the servants [05288], and said [0559], Behold, I have seen [07200] a son [01121] of Jesse [03448] the Bethlehemite [01022], that is cunning [03045] in playing [05059], and a mighty [01368] valiant man [02428], and a man [0376] of war [04421], and prudent [0995] in matters [01697], and a comely [08389] person [0376], and the LORD [03068] is with him. 9 16 19 Wherefore Saul [07586] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto Jesse [03448], and said [0559], Send [07971] me David [01732] thy son [01121], which is with the sheep [06629]. 9 16 20 And Jesse [03448] took [03947] an ass [02543] laden with bread [03899], and a bottle [04997] of wine [03196], and a [0259] kid [01423] [05795], and sent [07971] them by [03027] David [01732] his son [01121] unto Saul [07586]. 9 16 21 And David [01732] came [0935] to Saul [07586], and stood [05975] before [06440] him: and he loved [0157] him greatly [03966]; and he became his armourbearer [05375] [03627]. 9 16 22 And Saul [07586] sent [07971] to Jesse [03448], saying [0559], Let David [01732], I pray thee, stand [05975] before [06440] me; for he hath found [04672] favour [02580] in my sight [05869]. 9 16 23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit [07307] from God [0430] was upon Saul [07586], that David [01732] took [03947] an harp [03658], and played [05059] with his hand [03027]: so Saul [07586] was refreshed [07304], and was well [02895], and the evil [07451] spirit [07307] departed [05493] from him. 9 17 1 Now the Philistines [06430] gathered together [0622] their armies [04264] to battle [04421], and were gathered together [0622] at Shochoh [07755], which belongeth to Judah [03063], and pitched [02583] between Shochoh [07755] and Azekah [05825], in Ephesdammim [0658]. 9 17 2 And Saul [07586] and the men [0376] of Israel [03478] were gathered together [0622], and pitched [02583] by the valley [06010] of Elah [0425], and set the battle [04421] in array [06186] against [07125] the Philistines [06430]. 9 17 3 And the Philistines [06430] stood [05975] on a mountain [02022] on the one side, and Israel [03478] stood [05975] on a mountain [02022] on the other side: and there was a valley [01516] between them. 9 17 4 And there went out [03318] a champion [0376] [01143] out of the camp [04264] of the Philistines [06430], named [08034] Goliath [01555], of Gath [01661], whose height [01363] was six [08337] cubits [0520] and a span [02239]. 9 17 5 And he had an helmet [03553] of brass [05178] upon his head [07218], and he was armed [03847] with a coat [08302] of mail [07193]; and the weight [04948] of the coat [08302] was five [02568] thousand [0505] shekels [08255] of brass [05178]. 9 17 6 And he had greaves [04697] of brass [05178] upon his legs [07272], and a target [03591] of brass [05178] between his shoulders [03802]. 9 17 7 And the staff [06086] [02671] of his spear [02595] was like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500]; and his spear's [02595] head [03852] weighed six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels [08255] of iron [01270]: and one bearing [05375] a shield [06793] went [01980] before [06440] him. 9 17 8 And he stood [05975] and cried [07121] unto the armies [04634] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto them, Why are ye come out [03318] to set your battle [04421] in array [06186]? am not I a Philistine [06430], and ye servants [05650] to Saul [07586]? choose [01262] you a man [0376] for you, and let him come down [03381] to me. 9 17 9 If he be able [03201] to fight [03898] with me, and to kill [05221] me, then will we be your servants [05650]: but if I prevail [03201] against him, and kill [05221] him, then shall ye be our servants [05650], and serve [05647] us. 9 17 10 And the Philistine [06430] said [0559], I defy [02778] the armies [04634] of Israel [03478] this day [03117]; give [05414] me a man [0376], that we may fight [03898] together [03162]. 9 17 11 When Saul [07586] and all Israel [03478] heard [08085] those words [01697] of the Philistine [06430], they were dismayed [02865], and greatly [03966] afraid [03372]. 9 17 12 Now David [01732] was the son [01121] of that Ephrathite [0376] [0673] of Bethlehemjudah [01035] [03063], whose name [08034] was Jesse [03448]; and he had eight [08083] sons [01121]: and the man [0376] went [0935] among men [0582] for an old man [02204] in the days [03117] of Saul [07586]. 9 17 13 And the three [07969] eldest [01419] sons [01121] of Jesse [03448] went [03212] and followed [0310] Saul [07586] to the battle [04421]: and the names [08034] of his three [07969] sons [01121] that went [01980] to the battle [04421] were Eliab [0446] the firstborn [01060], and next [04932] unto him Abinadab [041], and the third [07992] Shammah [08048]. 9 17 14 And David [01732] was the youngest [06996]: and the three [07969] eldest [01419] followed [01980] [0310] Saul [07586]. 9 17 15 But David [01732] went [01980] and returned [07725] from Saul [07586] to feed [07462] his father's [01] sheep [06629] at Bethlehem [01035]. 9 17 16 And the Philistine [06430] drew near [05066] morning [07925] and evening [06150], and presented [03320] himself forty [0705] days [03117]. 9 17 17 And Jesse [03448] said [0559] unto David [01732] his son [01121], Take [03947] now for thy brethren [0251] an ephah [0374] of this [02088] parched [07039] corn, and these ten [06235] loaves [03899], and run [07323] to the camp [04264] to thy brethren [0251]; 9 17 18 And carry [0935] these ten [06235] cheeses [02461] [02757] unto the captain [08269] of their thousand [0505], and look [06485] how thy brethren [0251] fare [07965], and take [03947] their pledge [06161]. 9 17 19 Now Saul [07586], and they, and all the men [0376] of Israel [03478], were in the valley [06010] of Elah [0425], fighting [03898] with the Philistines [06430]. 9 17 20 And David [01732] rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and left [05203] the sheep [06629] with a keeper [08104], and took [05375], and went [03212], as Jesse [03448] had commanded [06680] him; and he came [0935] to the trench [04570], as the host [02428] was going forth [03318] to the fight [04634], and shouted [07321] for the battle [04421]. 9 17 21 For Israel [03478] and the Philistines [06430] had put the battle in array [06186], army [04634] against [07125] army [04634]. 9 17 22 And David [01732] left [05203] his carriage [03627] in the hand [03027] of the keeper [08104] of the carriage [03627], and ran [07323] into the army [04634], and came [0935] and saluted [07592] [07965] his brethren [0251]. 9 17 23 And as he talked [01696] with them, behold, there came up [05927] the champion [0376] [01143], the Philistine [06430] of Gath [01661], Goliath [01555] by name [08034], out of the armies [04634] [04630] of the Philistines [06430], and spake [01696] according to the same [0428] words [01697]: and David [01732] heard [08085] them. 9 17 24 And all the men [0376] of Israel [03478], when they saw [07200] the man [0376], fled [05127] from him [06440], and were sore [03966] afraid [03372]. 9 17 25 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Have ye seen [07200] this man [0376] that is come up [05927]? surely to defy [02778] Israel [03478] is he come up [05927]: and it shall be, that the man [0376] who killeth [05221] him, the king [04428] will enrich [06238] him with great [01419] riches [06239], and will give [05414] him his daughter [01323], and make [06213] his father's [01] house [01004] free [02670] in Israel [03478]. 9 17 26 And David [01732] spake [0559] to the men [0582] that stood [05975] by him, saying [0559], What shall be done [06213] to the man [0376] that killeth [05221] this [01975] Philistine [06430], and taketh away [05493] the reproach [02781] from Israel [03478]? for who is this uncircumcised [06189] Philistine [06430], that he should defy [02778] the armies [04634] of the living [02416] God [0430]? 9 17 27 And the people [05971] answered [0559] him after this manner [01697], saying [0559], So shall it be done [06213] to the man [0376] that killeth [05221] him. 9 17 28 And Eliab [0446] his eldest [01419] brother [0251] heard [08085] when he spake [01696] unto the men [0582]; and Eliab's [0446] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against David [01732], and he said [0559], Why camest thou down [03381] hither? and with whom hast thou left [05203] those [02007] few [04592] sheep [06629] in the wilderness [04057]? I know [03045] thy pride [02087], and the naughtiness [07455] of thine heart [03824]; for thou art come down [03381] that thou mightest see [07200] the battle [04421]. 9 17 29 And David [01732] said [0559], What have I now done [06213]? Is there not a cause [01697]? 9 17 30 And he turned [05437] from him [0681] toward [04136] another [0312], and spake [0559] after the same manner [01697]: and the people [05971] answered [01697] him again [07725] after the former [07223] manner [01697]. 9 17 31 And when the words [01697] were heard [08085] which David [01732] spake [01696], they rehearsed [05046] them before [06440] Saul [07586]: and he sent [03947] for him. 9 17 32 And David [01732] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Let no man's [0120] heart [03820] fail [05307] because of him; thy servant [05650] will go [03212] and fight [03898] with this Philistine [06430]. 9 17 33 And Saul [07586] said [0559] to David [01732], Thou art not able [03201] to go [03212] against this Philistine [06430] to fight [03898] with him: for thou art but a youth [05288], and he a man [0376] of war [04421] from his youth [05271]. 9 17 34 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], Thy servant [05650] kept [07462] his father's [01] sheep [06629], and there came [0935] a lion [0738], and a bear [01677], and took [05375] a lamb [07716] [02089] out of the flock [05739]: 9 17 35 And I went out [03318] after [0310] him, and smote [05221] him, and delivered [05337] it out of his mouth [06310]: and when he arose [06965] against me, I caught [02388] him by his beard [02206], and smote [05221] him, and slew [04191] him. 9 17 36 Thy servant [05650] slew [05221] both the lion [0738] and the bear [01677]: and this uncircumcised [06189] Philistine [06430] shall be as one [0259] of them, seeing he hath defied [02778] the armies [04634] of the living [02416] God [0430]. 9 17 37 David [01732] said [0559] moreover, The LORD [03068] that delivered [05337] me out of the paw [03027] of the lion [0738], and out of the paw [03027] of the bear [01677], he will deliver [05337] me out of the hand [03027] of this Philistine [06430]. And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto David [01732], Go [03212], and the LORD [03068] be with thee. 9 17 38 And Saul [07586] armed [03847] David [01732] with his armour [04055], and he put [05414] an helmet [06959] of brass [05178] upon his head [07218]; also he armed [03847] him with a coat of mail [08302]. 9 17 39 And David [01732] girded [02296] his sword [02719] upon his armour [04055], and he assayed [02974] to go [03212]; for he had not proved [05254] it. And David [01732] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], I cannot [03201] go [03212] with these; for I have not proved [05254] them. And David [01732] put [05493] them off him. 9 17 40 And he took [03947] his staff [04731] in his hand [03027], and chose [0977] him five [02568] smooth [02512] stones [068] out of the brook [05158], and put [07760] them in a shepherd's [07462] bag [03627] which he had, even in a scrip [03219]; and his sling [07050] was in his hand [03027]: and he drew near [05066] to the Philistine [06430]. 9 17 41 And the Philistine [06430] came [03212] on [01980] and drew near [07131] unto David [01732]; and the man [0376] that bare [05375] the shield [06793] went before [06440] him. 9 17 42 And when the Philistine [06430] looked about [05027], and saw [07200] David [01732], he disdained [0959] him: for he was but a youth [05288], and ruddy [0132], and of a fair [03303] countenance [04758]. 9 17 43 And the Philistine [06430] said [0559] unto David [01732], Am I a dog [03611], that thou comest [0935] to me with staves [04731]? And the Philistine [06430] cursed [07043] David [01732] by his gods [0430]. 9 17 44 And the Philistine [06430] said [0559] to David [01732], Come [03212] to me, and I will give [05414] thy flesh [01320] unto the fowls [05775] of the air [08064], and to the beasts [0929] of the field [07704]. 9 17 45 Then said [0559] David [01732] to the Philistine [06430], Thou comest [0935] to me with a sword [02719], and with a spear [02595], and with a shield [03591]: but I come [0935] to thee in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of the armies [04634] of Israel [03478], whom thou hast defied [02778]. 9 17 46 This day [03117] will the LORD [03068] deliver [05462] thee into mine hand [03027]; and I will smite [05221] thee, and take [05493] thine head [07218] from thee; and I will give [05414] the carcases [06297] of the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430] this day [03117] unto the fowls [05775] of the air [08064], and to the wild beasts [02416] of the earth [0776]; that all the earth [0776] may know [03045] that there is [03426] a God [0430] in Israel [03478]. 9 17 47 And all this assembly [06951] shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] saveth [03467] not with sword [02719] and spear [02595]: for the battle [04421] is the LORD'S [03068], and he will give [05414] you into our hands [03027]. 9 17 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine [06430] arose [06965], and came [03212] and drew nigh [07126] to meet [07125] David [01732], that David [01732] hasted [04116], and ran [07323] toward the army [04634] to meet [07125] the Philistine [06430]. 9 17 49 And David [01732] put [07971] his hand [03027] in his bag [03627], and took [03947] thence a stone [068], and slang [07049] it, and smote [05221] the Philistine [06430] in his forehead [04696], that the stone [068] sunk [02883] into his forehead [04696]; and he fell [05307] upon his face [06440] to the earth [0776]. 9 17 50 So David [01732] prevailed [02388] over [04480] the Philistine [06430] with a sling [07050] and with a stone [068], and smote [05221] the Philistine [06430], and slew [04191] him; but there was no sword [02719] in the hand [03027] of David [01732]. 9 17 51 Therefore David [01732] ran [07323], and stood [05975] upon the Philistine [06430], and took [03947] his sword [02719], and drew [08025] it out of the sheath [08593] thereof, and slew [04191] him, and cut off [03772] his head [07218] therewith. And when the Philistines [06430] saw [07200] their champion [01368] was dead [04191], they fled [05127]. 9 17 52 And the men [0582] of Israel [03478] and of Judah [03063] arose [06965], and shouted [07321], and pursued [07291] the Philistines [06430], until thou come [0935] to the valley [01516], and to the gates [08179] of Ekron [06138]. And the wounded [02491] of the Philistines [06430] fell down [05307] by the way [01870] to Shaaraim [08189], even unto Gath [01661], and unto Ekron [06138]. 9 17 53 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] returned [07725] from chasing [01814] after [0310] the Philistines [06430], and they spoiled [08155] their tents [04264]. 9 17 54 And David [01732] took [03947] the head [07218] of the Philistine [06430], and brought [0935] it to Jerusalem [03389]; but he put [07760] his armour [03627] in his tent [0168]. 9 17 55 And when Saul [07586] saw [07200] David [01732] go forth [03318] against [07125] the Philistine [06430], he said [0559] unto Abner [074], the captain [08269] of the host [06635], Abner [074], whose son [01121] is this youth [05288]? And Abner [074] said [0559], As thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], O king [04428], I cannot [0518] tell [03045]. 9 17 56 And the king [04428] said [0559], Enquire [07592] thou whose son [01121] the stripling [05958] is. 9 17 57 And as David [01732] returned [07725] from the slaughter [05221] of the Philistine [06430], Abner [074] took [03947] him, and brought [0935] him before [06440] Saul [07586] with the head [07218] of the Philistine [06430] in his hand [03027]. 9 17 58 And Saul [07586] said [0559] to him, Whose son [01121] art thou, thou young man [05288]? And David [01732] answered [0559], I am the son [01121] of thy servant [05650] Jesse [03448] the Bethlehemite [01022]. 9 18 1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] unto Saul [07586], that the soul [05315] of Jonathan [03083] was knit [07194] with the soul [05315] of David [01732], and Jonathan [03083] loved [0157] him as his own soul [05315]. 9 18 2 And Saul [07586] took [03947] him that day [03117], and would let [05414] him go no more home [07725] to his father's [01] house [01004]. 9 18 3 Then Jonathan [03083] and David [01732] made [03772] a covenant [01285], because he loved [0160] him as his own soul [05315]. 9 18 4 And Jonathan [03083] stripped [06584] himself of the robe [04598] that was upon him, and gave [05414] it to David [01732], and his garments [04055], even to his sword [02719], and to his bow [07198], and to his girdle [02289]. 9 18 5 And David [01732] went out [03318] whithersoever Saul [07586] sent [07971] him, and behaved himself wisely [07919]: and Saul [07586] set [07760] him over the men [0582] of war [04421], and he was accepted [03190] in the sight [05869] of all the people [05971], and also in the sight [05869] of Saul's [07586] servants [05650]. 9 18 6 And it came to pass as they came [0935], when David [01732] was returned [07725] from the slaughter [05221] of the Philistine [06430], that the women [0802] came out [03318] of all cities [05892] of Israel [03478], singing [07891] and dancing [04246], to meet [07125] king [04428] Saul [07586], with tabrets [08596], with joy [08057], and with instruments of musick [07991]. 9 18 7 And the women [0802] answered [06030] one another as they played [07832], and said [0559], Saul [07586] hath slain [05221] his thousands [0505], and David [01732] his ten thousands [07233]. 9 18 8 And Saul [07586] was very [03966] wroth [02734], and the saying [01697] displeased [03415] [05869] him; and he said [0559], They have ascribed [05414] unto David [01732] ten thousands [07233], and to me they have ascribed [05414] but thousands [0505]: and what can he have more but the kingdom [04410]? 9 18 9 And Saul [07586] eyed [05770] David [01732] from that day [03117] and forward [01973]. 9 18 10 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that the evil [07451] spirit [07307] from God [0430] came [06743] upon Saul [07586], and he prophesied [05012] in the midst [08432] of the house [01004]: and David [01732] played [05059] with his hand [03027], as at other times [03117]: and there was a javelin [02595] in Saul's [07586] hand [03027]. 9 18 11 And Saul [07586] cast [02904] the javelin [02595]; for he said [0559], I will smite [05221] David [01732] even to the wall [07023] with it. And David [01732] avoided out [05437] of his presence [06440] twice [06471]. 9 18 12 And Saul [07586] was afraid [03372] of [06440] David [01732], because the LORD [03068] was with him, and was departed [05493] from Saul [07586]. 9 18 13 Therefore Saul [07586] removed [05493] him from him, and made [07760] him his captain [08269] over a thousand [0505]; and he went out [03318] and came in [0935] before [06440] the people [05971]. 9 18 14 And David [01732] behaved himself wisely [07919] in all his ways [01870]; and the LORD [03068] was with him. 9 18 15 Wherefore when Saul [07586] saw [07200] that he behaved [07919] himself very [03966] wisely [07919], he was afraid [01481] of [06440] him. 9 18 16 But all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063] loved [0157] David [01732], because he went out [03318] and came in [0935] before [06440] them. 9 18 17 And Saul [07586] said [0559] to David [01732], Behold my elder [01419] daughter [01323] Merab [04764], her will I give [05414] thee to wife [0802]: only be thou valiant [01121] [02428] for me, and fight [03898] the LORD'S [03068] battles [04421]. For Saul [07586] said [0559], Let not mine hand [03027] be upon him, but let the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430] be upon him. 9 18 18 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], Who am I? and what is my life [02416], or my father's [01] family [04940] in Israel [03478], that I should be son in law [02860] to the king [04428]? 9 18 19 But it came to pass at the time [06256] when Merab [04764] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323] should have been given [05414] to David [01732], that she was given [05414] unto Adriel [05741] the Meholathite [04259] to wife [0802]. 9 18 20 And Michal [04324] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323] loved [0157] David [01732]: and they told [05046] Saul [07586], and the thing [01697] pleased [03474] [05869] him. 9 18 21 And Saul [07586] said [0559], I will give [05414] him her, that she may be a snare [04170] to him, and that the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430] may be against him. Wherefore Saul [07586] said [0559] to David [01732], Thou shalt this day [03117] be my son in law [02859] in the one of the twain [08147]. 9 18 22 And Saul [07586] commanded [06680] his servants [05650], saying, Commune [01696] with David [01732] secretly [03909], and say [0559], Behold, the king [04428] hath delight [02654] in thee, and all his servants [05650] love [0157] thee: now therefore be the king's [04428] son in law [02859]. 9 18 23 And Saul's [07586] servants [05650] spake [01696] those words [01697] in the ears [0241] of David [01732]. And David [01732] said [0559], Seemeth [05869] it to you a light [07043] thing to be a king's [04428] son in law [02859], seeing that I am a poor [07326] man [0376], and lightly esteemed [07034]? 9 18 24 And the servants [05650] of Saul [07586] told [05046] him, saying [0559], On this manner [01697] spake [01696] David [01732]. 9 18 25 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Thus shall ye say [0559] to David [01732], The king [04428] desireth [02656] not any dowry [04119], but an hundred [03967] foreskins [06190] of the Philistines [06430], to be avenged [05358] of the king's [04428] enemies [0341]. But Saul [07586] thought [02803] to make David [01732] fall [05307] by the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 18 26 And when his servants [05650] told [05046] David [01732] these words [01697], it pleased [03474] [01697] [05869] David [01732] well to be the king's [04428] son in law [02859]: and the days [03117] were not expired [04390]. 9 18 27 Wherefore David [01732] arose [06965] and went [03212], he and his men [0582], and slew [05221] of the Philistines [06430] two hundred [03967] men [0376]; and David [01732] brought [0935] their foreskins [06190], and they gave them in full tale [04390] to the king [04428], that he might be the king's [04428] son in law [02859]. And Saul [07586] gave [05414] him Michal [04324] his daughter [01323] to wife [0802]. 9 18 28 And Saul [07586] saw [07200] and knew [03045] that the LORD [03068] was with David [01732], and that Michal [04324] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323] loved [0157] him. 9 18 29 And Saul [07586] was yet the more [03254] afraid [03372] of [06440] David [01732]; and Saul [07586] became David's [01732] enemy [0341] continually [03117]. 9 18 30 Then the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] went forth [03318]: and it came to pass, after [01767] they went forth [03318], that David [01732] behaved himself more wisely [07919] than all the servants [05650] of Saul [07586]; so that his name [08034] was much [03966] set by [03365]. 9 19 1 And Saul [07586] spake [01696] to Jonathan [03129] his son [01121], and to all his servants [05650], that they should kill [04191] David [01732]. 9 19 2 But Jonathan [03083] Saul's [07586] son [01121] delighted [02654] much [03966] in David [01732]: and Jonathan [03083] told [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], Saul [07586] my father [01] seeketh [01245] to kill [04191] thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed [08104] to thyself until the morning [01242], and abide [03427] in a secret [05643] place, and hide [02244] thyself: 9 19 3 And I will go out [03318] and stand [05975] beside [03027] my father [01] in the field [07704] where thou art, and I will commune [01696] with my father [01] of thee; and what [04100] I see [07200], that I will tell [05046] thee. 9 19 4 And Jonathan [03083] spake [01696] good [02896] of David [01732] unto Saul [07586] his father [01], and said [0559] unto him, Let not the king [04428] sin [02398] against his servant [05650], against David [01732]; because he hath not sinned [02398] against thee, and because his works [04639] have been to thee-ward very [03966] good [02896]: 9 19 5 For he did put [07760] his life [05315] in his hand [03709], and slew [05221] the Philistine [06430], and the LORD [03068] wrought [06213] a great [01419] salvation [08668] for all Israel [03478]: thou sawest [07200] it, and didst rejoice [08055]: wherefore then wilt thou sin [02398] against innocent [05355] blood [01818], to slay [04191] David [01732] without a cause [02600]? 9 19 6 And Saul [07586] hearkened [08085] unto the voice [06963] of Jonathan [03083]: and Saul [07586] sware [07650], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], he shall not [0518] be slain [04191]. 9 19 7 And Jonathan [03083] called [07121] David [01732], and Jonathan [03083] shewed [05046] him all those things [01697]. And Jonathan [03083] brought [0935] David [01732] to Saul [07586], and he was in his presence [06440], as in times past [0865] [08032]. 9 19 8 And there was war [04421] again [03254]: and David [01732] went out [03318], and fought [03898] with the Philistines [06430], and slew [05221] them with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]; and they fled [05127] from [06440] him. 9 19 9 And the evil [07451] spirit [07307] from the LORD [03068] was upon Saul [07586], as he sat [03427] in his house [01004] with his javelin [02595] in his hand [03027]: and David [01732] played [05059] with his hand [03027]. 9 19 10 And Saul [07586] sought [01245] to smite [05221] David [01732] even to the wall [07023] with the javelin [02595]; but he slipped away [06362] out of Saul's [07586] presence [06440], and he smote [05221] the javelin [02595] into the wall [07023]: and David [01732] fled [05127], and escaped [04422] that night [03915]. 9 19 11 Saul [07586] also sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto David's [01732] house [01004], to watch [08104] him, and to slay [04191] him in the morning [01242]: and Michal [04324] David's [01732] wife [0802] told [05046] him, saying [0559], If thou save [04422] not thy life [05315] to night [03915], to morrow [04279] thou shalt be slain [04191]. 9 19 12 So Michal [04324] let [03381] David [01732] down [03381] through a window [02474]: and he went [03212], and fled [01272], and escaped [04422]. 9 19 13 And Michal [04324] took [03947] an image [08655], and laid [07760] it in the bed [04296], and put [07760] a pillow [03523] of goats [05795]' hair for his bolster [04763], and covered [03680] it with a cloth [0899]. 9 19 14 And when Saul [07586] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to take [03947] David [01732], she said [0559], He is sick [02470]. 9 19 15 And Saul [07586] sent [07971] the messengers [04397] again to see [07200] David [01732], saying [0559], Bring him up [05927] to me in the bed [04296], that I may slay [04191] him. 9 19 16 And when the messengers [04397] were come in [0935], behold, there was an image [08655] in the bed [04296], with a pillow [03523] of goats [05795]' hair for his bolster [04763]. 9 19 17 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto Michal [04324], Why hast thou deceived me so [07411], and sent away [07971] mine enemy [0341], that he is escaped [04422]? And Michal [04324] answered [0559] Saul [07586], He said [0559] unto me, Let me go [07971]; why should I kill [04191] thee? 9 19 18 So David [01732] fled [01272], and escaped [04422], and came [0935] to Samuel [08050] to Ramah [07414], and told [05046] him all that Saul [07586] had done [06213] to him. And he and Samuel [08050] went [03212] and dwelt [03427] in Naioth [05121]. 9 19 19 And it was told [05046] Saul [07586], saying [0559], Behold, David [01732] is at Naioth [05121] in Ramah [07414]. 9 19 20 And Saul [07586] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to take [03947] David [01732]: and when they saw [07200] the company [03862] of the prophets [05030] prophesying [05012], and Samuel [08050] standing [05975] as appointed [05324] over them, the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] was upon the messengers [04397] of Saul [07586], and they also prophesied [05012]. 9 19 21 And when it was told [05046] Saul [07586], he sent [07971] other [0312] messengers [04397], and they prophesied [05012] likewise. And Saul [07586] sent [07971] messengers [04397] again [03254] the third [07992] time, and they prophesied [05012] also. 9 19 22 Then went [03212] he also to Ramah [07414], and came [0935] to a great [01419] well [0953] that is in Sechu [07906]: and he asked [07592] and said [0559], Where [0375] are Samuel [08050] and David [01732]? And one said [0559], Behold, they be at Naioth [05121] in Ramah [07414]. 9 19 23 And he went [03212] thither to Naioth [05121] in Ramah [07414]: and the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] was upon him also, and he went [03212] on [01980], and prophesied [05012], until he came [0935] to Naioth [05121] in Ramah [07414]. 9 19 24 And he stripped off [06584] his clothes [0899] also [01571], and prophesied [05012] before [06440] Samuel [08050] in like manner, and lay down [05307] naked [06174] all that day [03117] and all that night [03915]. Wherefore they say [0559], Is Saul [07586] also among the prophets [05030]? 9 20 1 And David [01732] fled [01272] from Naioth [05121] in Ramah [07414], and came [0935] and said [0559] before [06440] Jonathan [03083], What have I done [06213]? what is mine iniquity [05771]? and what is my sin [02403] before [06440] thy father [01], that he seeketh [01245] my life [05315]? 9 20 2 And he said [0559] unto him, God forbid [02486]; thou shalt not die [04191]: behold, my father [01] will do [06213] [06213] nothing [01697] either great [01419] or small [06996], but that he will shew [01540] [0241] it me: and why should my father [01] hide [05641] this thing [01697] from me? it is not so. 9 20 3 And David [01732] sware [07650] moreover, and said [0559], Thy father [01] certainly [03045] knoweth [03045] that I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thine eyes [05869]; and he saith [0559], Let not Jonathan [03083] know [03045] this, lest he be grieved [06087]: but truly [0199] as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], there is but a step [06587] between me and death [04194]. 9 20 4 Then said [0559] Jonathan [03083] unto David [01732], Whatsoever thy soul [05315] desireth [0559], I will even do [06213] it for thee. 9 20 5 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Jonathan [03083], Behold, to morrow [04279] is the new moon [02320], and I should not fail [03427] to sit [03427] with the king [04428] at meat [0398]: but let me go [07971], that I may hide [05641] myself in the field [07704] unto the third [07992] day at even [06153]. 9 20 6 If thy father [01] at all [06485] miss [06485] me, then say [0559], David [01732] earnestly [07592] asked [07592] leave of me that he might run [07323] to Bethlehem [01035] his city [05892]: for there is a yearly [03117] sacrifice [02077] there for all the family [04940]. 9 20 7 If he say [0559] thus, It is well [02896]; thy servant [05650] shall have peace [07965]: but if he be very [02734] wroth [02734], then be sure [03045] that evil [07451] is determined [03615] by him. 9 20 8 Therefore thou shalt deal [06213] kindly [02617] with thy servant [05650]; for thou hast brought [0935] thy servant [05650] into a covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] with thee: notwithstanding, if there be [03426] in me iniquity [05771], slay [04191] me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring [0935] me to thy father [01]? 9 20 9 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559], Far be it from thee [02486]: for if I knew [03045] certainly [03045] that evil [07451] were determined [03615] by my father [01] to come [0935] upon thee, then would not I tell [05046] it thee? 9 20 10 Then said [0559] David [01732] to Jonathan [03083], Who shall tell [05046] me? or what if thy father [01] answer [06030] thee roughly [07186]? 9 20 11 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] unto David [01732], Come [03212], and let us go out [03318] into the field [07704]. And they went out [03318] both [08147] of them into the field [07704]. 9 20 12 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] unto David [01732], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], when I have sounded [02713] my father [01] about to morrow [04279] any time [06256], or the third [07992] day, and, behold, if there be good [02895] toward David [01732], and I then send [07971] not unto thee, and shew [01540] [0241] it thee; 9 20 13 The LORD [03068] do [06213] so [03541] and much more [03254] to Jonathan [03083]: but if it please [03190] my father [01] to do thee evil [07451], then I will shew [01540] [0241] it thee, and send thee away [07971], that thou mayest go [01980] in peace [07965]: and the LORD [03068] be with thee, as he hath been with my father [01]. 9 20 14 And thou shalt not only while yet [0518] I live [02416] shew [06213] me the kindness [02617] of the LORD [03068], that I die [04191] not: 9 20 15 But also thou shalt not cut off [03772] thy kindness [02617] from my house [01004] for [05704] ever [05769]: no, not when the LORD [03068] hath cut off [03772] the enemies [0341] of David [01732] every one [0376] from the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 9 20 16 So Jonathan [03083] made [03772] a covenant with the house [01004] of David [01732], saying, Let the LORD [03068] even require [01245] it at the hand [03027] of David's [01732] enemies [0341]. 9 20 17 And Jonathan [03083] caused David [01732] to swear [07650] again [03254], because he loved [0160] him: for he loved [0157] him as he loved [0160] his own soul [05315]. 9 20 18 Then Jonathan [03083] said [0559] to David [01732], To morrow [04279] is the new moon [02320]: and thou shalt be missed [06485], because thy seat [04186] will be empty [06485]. 9 20 19 And when thou hast stayed three days [08027], then thou shalt go down [03381] quickly [03966], and come [0935] to the place [04725] where thou didst hide [05641] thyself when [03117] the business [04639] was in hand, and shalt remain [03427] by [0681] the stone [068] Ezel [0237]. 9 20 20 And I will shoot [03384] three [07969] arrows [02671] on the side [06654] thereof, as though I shot [07971] at a mark [04307]. 9 20 21 And, behold, I will send [07971] a lad [05288], saying, Go [03212], find out [04672] the arrows [02671]. If I expressly [0559] say [0559] unto the lad [05288], Behold, the arrows [02671] are on this side of thee, take [03947] them; then come [0935] thou: for there is peace [07965] to thee, and no hurt [01697]; as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416]. 9 20 22 But if I say [0559] thus unto the young man [05958], Behold, the arrows [02671] are beyond [01973] thee; go thy way [03212]: for the LORD [03068] hath sent thee away [07971]. 9 20 23 And as touching the matter [01697] which thou and I have spoken [01696] of, behold, the LORD [03068] be between thee and me for [05704] ever [05769]. 9 20 24 So David [01732] hid [05641] himself in the field [07704]: and when the new moon [02320] was come, the king [04428] sat him down [03427] to eat [0398] meat [03899]. 9 20 25 And the king [04428] sat [03427] upon his seat [04186], as at other times [06471], even upon a seat [04186] by the wall [07023]: and Jonathan [03083] arose [06965], and Abner [074] sat [03427] by Saul's [07586] side [06654], and David's [01732] place [04725] was empty [06485]. 9 20 26 Nevertheless Saul [07586] spake [01696] not any thing [03972] that day [03117]: for he thought [0559], Something hath befallen [04745] him, he is not [01115] clean [02889]; surely he is not clean [02889]. 9 20 27 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], which was the second [08145] day of the month [02320], that David's [01732] place [04725] was empty [06485]: and Saul [07586] said [0559] unto Jonathan [03083] his son [01121], Wherefore cometh [0935] not the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] to meat [03899], neither yesterday [08543], nor to day [03117]? 9 20 28 And Jonathan [03083] answered [06030] Saul [07586], David [01732] earnestly [07592] asked [07592] leave of me [05978] to go to Bethlehem [01035]: 9 20 29 And he said [0559], Let me go [07971], I pray thee; for our family [04940] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the city [05892]; and my brother [0251], he hath commanded [06680] me to be there: and now, if I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thine eyes [05869], let me get away [04422], I pray thee, and see [07200] my brethren [0251]. Therefore he cometh [0935] not unto the king's [04428] table [07979]. 9 20 30 Then Saul's [07586] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Jonathan [03083], and he said [0559] unto him, Thou son [01121] of the perverse [05753] rebellious [04780] woman, do not I know [03045] that thou hast chosen [0977] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] to thine own confusion [01322], and unto the confusion [01322] of thy mother's [0517] nakedness [06172]? 9 20 31 For as long as [03117] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] liveth [02425] upon the ground [0127], thou shalt not be established [03559], nor thy kingdom [04438]. Wherefore now send [07971] and fetch [03947] him unto me, for he shall surely die [01121] [04194]. 9 20 32 And Jonathan [03083] answered [06030] Saul [07586] his father [01], and said [0559] unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain [04191]? what hath he done [06213]? 9 20 33 And Saul [07586] cast [02904] a javelin [02595] at him to smite [05221] him: whereby Jonathan [03083] knew [03045] that it was determined [03617] of his father [01] to slay [04191] David [01732]. 9 20 34 So Jonathan [03083] arose [06965] from the table [07979] in fierce [02750] anger [0639], and did eat [0398] no meat [03899] the second [08145] day [03117] of the month [02320]: for he was grieved [06087] for David [01732], because his father [01] had done him shame [03637]. 9 20 35 And it came to pass in the morning [01242], that Jonathan [03083] went out [03318] into the field [07704] at the time appointed [04150] with David [01732], and a little [06996] lad [05288] with him. 9 20 36 And he said [0559] unto his lad [05288], Run [07323], find out [04672] now the arrows [02671] which I shoot [03384]. And as the lad [05288] ran [07323], he shot [03384] an arrow [02678] beyond [05674] him. 9 20 37 And when the lad [05288] was come [0935] to the place [04725] of the arrow [02678] which Jonathan [03083] had shot [03384], Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], and said [0559], Is not the arrow [02678] beyond [01973] thee? 9 20 38 And Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], Make speed [04120], haste [02363], stay [05975] not. And Jonathan's [03083] lad [05288] gathered up [03950] the arrows [02671] [02678], and came [0935] to his master [0113]. 9 20 39 But the lad [05288] knew [03045] not any thing [03972]: only Jonathan [03083] and David [01732] knew [03045] the matter [01697]. 9 20 40 And Jonathan [03083] gave [05414] his artillery [03627] unto his lad [05288], and said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], carry [0935] them to the city [05892]. 9 20 41 And as soon as the lad [05288] was gone [0935], David [01732] arose [06965] out of a place toward [0681] the south [05045], and fell [05307] on his face [0639] to the ground [0776], and bowed [07812] himself three [07969] times [06471]: and they kissed [05401] one [0376] another [07453], and wept [01058] one [0376] with another [07453], until David [01732] exceeded [01431]. 9 20 42 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] to David [01732], Go [03212] in peace [07965], forasmuch as we have sworn [07650] both [08147] of us in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] be between me and thee, and between my seed [02233] and thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769]. And he arose [06965] and departed [03212]: and Jonathan [03083] went [0935] into the city [05892]. 9 21 1 Then came [0935] David [01732] to Nob [05011] to Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548]: and Ahimelech [0288] was afraid [02729] at the meeting [07125] of David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man [0376] with thee? 9 21 2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], The king [04428] hath commanded [06680] me a business [01697], and hath said [0559] unto me, Let no man [0376] know [03045] any thing [03972] of the business [01697] whereabout I send [07971] thee, and what I have commanded [06680] thee: and I have appointed [03045] my servants [05288] to such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725]. 9 21 3 Now therefore what is [03426] under thine hand [03027]? give [05414] me five [02568] loaves of bread [03899] in mine hand [03027], or what there is present [04672]. 9 21 4 And the priest [03548] answered [06030] David [01732], and said [0559], There is no common [02455] bread [03899] under mine hand [03027], but there is [03426] hallowed [06944] bread [03899]; if the young men [05288] have kept [08104] themselves at least [0389] from women [0802]. 9 21 5 And David [01732] answered [06030] the priest [03548], and said [0559] unto him, Of a truth [0518] women [0802] have been kept [06113] from us about these three [08032] days [08543], since I came out [03318], and the vessels [03627] of the young men [05288] are holy [06944], and the bread is in a manner [01870] common [02455], yea, though it were sanctified [06942] this day [03117] in the vessel [03627]. 9 21 6 So the priest [03548] gave [05414] him hallowed [06944] bread: for there was no bread [03899] there but the shewbread [03899] [06440], that was taken [05493] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], to put [07760] hot [02527] bread [03899] in the day [03117] when it was taken away [03947]. 9 21 7 Now a certain man [0376] of the servants [05650] of Saul [07586] was there that day [03117], detained [06113] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and his name [08034] was Doeg [01673], an Edomite [0130], the chiefest [047] of the herdmen [07462] that belonged to Saul [07586]. 9 21 8 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288], And is there [03426] not [0371] here under thine hand [03027] spear [02595] or sword [02719]? for I have neither brought [03947] my sword [02719] nor my weapons [03627] with me [03027], because the king's [04428] business [01697] required [01961] haste [05169]. 9 21 9 And the priest [03548] said [0559], The sword [02719] of Goliath [01555] the Philistine [06430], whom thou slewest [05221] in the valley [06010] of Elah [0425], behold, it is here wrapped [03874] in a cloth [08071] behind [0310] the ephod [0646]: if thou wilt take [03947] that, take [03947] it: for there is no other [0312] save [02108] that here [02088]. And David [01732] said [0559], There is none like that; give [05414] it me. 9 21 10 And David [01732] arose [06965], and fled [01272] that day [03117] for fear [06440] of Saul [07586], and went [0935] to Achish [0397] the king [04428] of Gath [01661]. 9 21 11 And the servants [05650] of Achish [0397] said [0559] unto him, Is not this David [01732] the king [04428] of the land [0776]? did they not sing [06030] one to another of him [02088] in dances [04246], saying [0559], Saul [07586] hath slain [05221] his thousands [0505], and David [01732] his ten thousands [07233]? 9 21 12 And David [01732] laid up [07760] these words [01697] in his heart [03824], and was sore [03966] afraid [03372] of [06440] Achish [0397] the king [04428] of Gath [01661]. 9 21 13 And he changed [08138] his behaviour [02940] before [05869] them, and feigned himself mad [01984] in their hands [03027], and scrabbled [08427] on the doors [01817] of the gate [08179], and let his spittle [07388] fall down [03381] upon his beard [02206]. 9 21 14 Then said [0559] Achish [0397] unto his servants [05650], Lo, ye see [07200] the man [0376] is mad [07696]: wherefore then have ye brought [0935] him to me? 9 21 15 Have I need [02638] of mad men [07696], that ye have brought [0935] this fellow to play the mad man [07696] in my presence? shall this fellow come [0935] into my house [01004]? 9 22 1 David [01732] therefore departed [03212] thence, and escaped [04422] to the cave [04631] Adullam [05725]: and when his brethren [0251] and all his father's [01] house [01004] heard [08085] it, they went down [03381] thither to him. 9 22 2 And every one [0376] that was in distress [04689], and every one [0376] that was in debt [05378], and every one [0376] that was discontented [04751] [05315], gathered [06908] themselves unto him; and he became a captain [08269] over them: and there were with him about four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376]. 9 22 3 And David [01732] went [03212] thence to Mizpeh [04708] of Moab [04124]: and he said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Moab [04124], Let my father [01] and my mother [0517], I pray thee, come forth [03318], and be with you, till I know [03045] what God [0430] will do [06213] for me. 9 22 4 And he brought [05148] them before [06440] the king [04428] of Moab [04124]: and they dwelt [03427] with him all the while [03117] that David [01732] was in the hold [04686]. 9 22 5 And the prophet [05030] Gad [01410] said [0559] unto David [01732], Abide [03427] not in the hold [04686]; depart [03212], and get [0935] thee into the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. Then David [01732] departed [03212], and came [0935] into the forest [03293] of Hareth [02802]. 9 22 6 When Saul [07586] heard [08085] that David [01732] was discovered [03045], and the men [0582] that were with him, (now Saul [07586] abode [03427] in Gibeah [01390] under a tree [0815] in Ramah [07414], having his spear [02595] in his hand [03027], and all his servants [05650] were standing [05324] about him;) 9 22 7 Then Saul [07586] said [0559] unto his servants [05650] that stood [05324] about him, Hear now [08085], ye Benjamites [01145]; will the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] give [05414] every one of you fields [07704] and vineyards [03754], and make [07760] you all captains [08269] of thousands [0505], and captains [08269] of hundreds [03967]; 9 22 8 That all of you have conspired [07194] against me, and there is none that sheweth [01540] [0241] me that my son [01121] hath made a league [03772] with the son [01121] of Jesse [03448], and there is none of you that is sorry [02470] for me, or sheweth [01540] [0241] unto me that my son [01121] hath stirred up [06965] my servant [05650] against me, to lie in wait [0693], as at this day [03117]? 9 22 9 Then answered [06030] Doeg [01673] the Edomite [0130], which was set [05324] over the servants [05650] of Saul [07586], and said [0559], I saw [07200] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] coming [0935] to Nob [05011], to Ahimelech [0288] the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285]. 9 22 10 And he enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068] for him, and gave [05414] him victuals [06720], and gave [05414] him the sword [02719] of Goliath [01555] the Philistine [06430]. 9 22 11 Then the king [04428] sent [07971] to call [07121] Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], and all his father's [01] house [01004], the priests [03548] that were in Nob [05011]: and they came [0935] all of them to the king [04428]. 9 22 12 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Hear [08085] now, thou son [01121] of Ahitub [0285]. And he answered [0559], Here I am, my lord [0113]. 9 22 13 And Saul [07586] said [0559] unto him, Why have ye conspired [07194] against me, thou and the son [01121] of Jesse [03448], in that thou hast given [05414] him bread [03899], and a sword [02719], and hast enquired [07592] of God [0430] for him, that he should rise [06965] against me, to lie in wait [0693], as at this day [03117]? 9 22 14 Then Ahimelech [0288] answered [06030] the king [04428], and said [0559], And who is so faithful [0539] among all thy servants [05650] as David [01732], which is the king's [04428] son in law [02860], and goeth [05493] at thy bidding [04928], and is honourable [03513] in thine house [01004]? 9 22 15 Did I then [03117] begin [02490] to enquire [07592] of God [0430] for him? be it far from me [02486]: let not the king [04428] impute [07760] any thing [01697] unto his servant [05650], nor to all the house [01004] of my father [01]: for thy servant [05650] knew [03045] nothing [01697] of all this, less [06996] or more [01419]. 9 22 16 And the king [04428] said [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191], Ahimelech [0288], thou, and all thy father's [01] house [01004]. 9 22 17 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto the footmen [07323] that stood [05324] about him, Turn [05437], and slay [04191] the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068]; because their hand [03027] also is with David [01732], and because they knew [03045] when he fled [01272], and did not shew [01540] [0241] it to me. But the servants [05650] of the king [04428] would [014] not put forth [07971] their hand [03027] to fall [06293] upon the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068]. 9 22 18 And the king [04428] said [0559] to Doeg [01673], Turn [05437] thou, and fall [06293] upon the priests [03548]. And Doeg [01673] the Edomite [0130] turned [05437], and he fell [06293] upon the priests [03548], and slew [04191] on that day [03117] fourscore [08084] and five [02568] persons [0376] that did wear [05375] a linen [0906] ephod [0646]. 9 22 19 And Nob [05011], the city [05892] of the priests [03548], smote [05221] he with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719], both men [0376] and women [0802], children [05768] and sucklings [03243], and oxen [07794], and asses [02543], and sheep [07716], with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 9 22 20 And one [0259] of the sons [01121] of Ahimelech [0288] the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], named [08034] Abiathar [054], escaped [04422], and fled [01272] after [0310] David [01732]. 9 22 21 And Abiathar [054] shewed [05046] David [01732] that Saul [07586] had slain [02026] the LORD'S [03068] priests [03548]. 9 22 22 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Abiathar [054], I knew [03045] it that day [03117], when Doeg [01673] the Edomite [0130] was there, that he would surely [05046] tell [05046] Saul [07586]: I have occasioned [05437] the death of all the persons [05315] of thy father's [01] house [01004]. 9 22 23 Abide [03427] thou with me, fear [03372] not: for he that seeketh [01245] my life [05315] seeketh [01245] thy life [05315]: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard [04931]. 9 23 1 Then they told [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], Behold, the Philistines [06430] fight [03898] against Keilah [07084], and they rob [08154] the threshingfloors [01637]. 9 23 2 Therefore David [01732] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Shall I go [03212] and smite [05221] these Philistines [06430]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto David [01732], Go [03212], and smite [05221] the Philistines [06430], and save [03467] Keilah [07084]. 9 23 3 And David's [01732] men [0582] said [0559] unto him, Behold, we be afraid [03373] here in Judah [03063]: how much more then if we come [03212] to Keilah [07084] against the armies [04634] of the Philistines [06430]? 9 23 4 Then David [01732] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068] yet again [03254]. And the LORD [03068] answered [06030] him and said [0559], Arise [06965], go down [03381] to Keilah [07084]; for I will deliver [05414] the Philistines [06430] into thine hand [03027]. 9 23 5 So David [01732] and his men [0582] went [03212] to Keilah [07084], and fought [03898] with the Philistines [06430], and brought away [05090] their cattle [04735], and smote [05221] them with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]. So David [01732] saved [03467] the inhabitants [03427] of Keilah [07084]. 9 23 6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar [054] the son [01121] of Ahimelech [0288] fled [01272] to David [01732] to Keilah [07084], that he came down [03381] with an ephod [0646] in his hand [03027]. 9 23 7 And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was come [0935] to Keilah [07084]. And Saul [07586] said [0559], God [0430] hath delivered [05234] him into mine hand [03027]; for he is shut in [05462], by entering [0935] into a town [05892] that hath gates [01817] and bars [01280]. 9 23 8 And Saul [07586] called [08085] all the people [05971] together [08085] to war [04421], to go down [03381] to Keilah [07084], to besiege [06696] David [01732] and his men [0582]. 9 23 9 And David [01732] knew [03045] that Saul [07586] secretly practised [02790] mischief [07451] against him; and he said [0559] to Abiathar [054] the priest [03548], Bring hither [05066] the ephod [0646]. 9 23 10 Then said [0559] David [01732], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], thy servant [05650] hath certainly [08085] heard [08085] that Saul [07586] seeketh [01245] to come [0935] to Keilah [07084], to destroy [07843] the city [05892] for my sake. 9 23 11 Will the men [01167] of Keilah [07084] deliver me up [05462] into his hand [03027]? will Saul [07586] come down [03381], as thy servant [05650] hath heard [08085]? O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I beseech thee, tell [05046] thy servant [05650]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559], He will come down [03381]. 9 23 12 Then said [0559] David [01732], Will the men [01167] of Keilah [07084] deliver [05462] me and my men [0582] into the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559], They will deliver thee up [05462]. 9 23 13 Then David [01732] and his men [0582], which were about six [08337] hundred [03967] [0376], arose [06965] and departed [03318] out of Keilah [07084], and went [01980] whithersoever [0834] they could go [01980]. And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was escaped [04422] from Keilah [07084]; and he forbare [02308] to go forth [03318]. 9 23 14 And David [01732] abode [03427] in the wilderness [04057] in strong holds [04679], and remained [03427] in a mountain [02022] in the wilderness [04057] of Ziph [02128]. And Saul [07586] sought [01245] him every day [03117], but God [0430] delivered [05414] him not into his hand [03027]. 9 23 15 And David [01732] saw [07200] that Saul [07586] was come out [03318] to seek [01245] his life [05315]: and David [01732] was in the wilderness [04057] of Ziph [02128] in a wood [02793]. 9 23 16 And Jonathan [03083] Saul's [07586] son [01121] arose [06965], and went [03212] to David [01732] into the wood [02793], and strengthened [02388] his hand [03027] in God [0430]. 9 23 17 And he said [0559] unto him, Fear [03372] not: for the hand [03027] of Saul [07586] my father [01] shall not find [04672] thee; and thou shalt be king [04427] over Israel [03478], and I shall be next [04932] unto thee; and that also Saul [07586] my father [01] knoweth [03045]. 9 23 18 And they two [08147] made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and David [01732] abode [03427] in the wood [02793], and Jonathan [03083] went [01980] to his house [01004]. 9 23 19 Then came up [05927] the Ziphites [02130] to Saul [07586] to Gibeah [01390], saying [0559], Doth not David [01732] hide [05641] himself with us in strong holds [04679] in the wood [02793], in the hill [01389] of Hachilah [02444], which is on the south [03225] of Jeshimon [03452]? 9 23 20 Now therefore, O king [04428], come down [03381] according to all the desire [0185] of thy soul [05315] to come down [03381]; and our part shall be to deliver [05462] him into the king's [04428] hand [03027]. 9 23 21 And Saul [07586] said [0559], Blessed [01288] be ye of the LORD [03068]; for ye have compassion [02550] on me. 9 23 22 Go [03212], I pray you, prepare [03559] yet, and know [03045] and see [07200] his place [04725] where his haunt [07272] is, and who hath seen [07200] him there: for it is told [0559] me that he dealeth very [06191] subtilly [06191]. 9 23 23 See [07200] therefore, and take knowledge [03045] of all the lurking places [04224] where he hideth [02244] himself, and come ye again [07725] to me with the certainty [03559], and I will go [01980] with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be [03426] in the land [0776], that I will search [02664] him out throughout all the thousands [0505] of Judah [03063]. 9 23 24 And they arose [06965], and went [03212] to Ziph [02128] before [06440] Saul [07586]: but David [01732] and his men [0582] were in the wilderness [04057] of Maon [04584], in the plain [06160] on the south [03225] of Jeshimon [03452]. 9 23 25 Saul [07586] also and his men [0582] went [03212] to seek [01245] him. And they told [05046] David [01732]: wherefore he came down [03381] into a rock [05553], and abode [03427] in the wilderness [04057] of Maon [04584]. And when Saul [07586] heard [08085] that, he pursued [07291] after [0310] David [01732] in the wilderness [04057] of Maon [04584]. 9 23 26 And Saul [07586] went [03212] on this side [06654] of the mountain [02022], and David [01732] and his men [0582] on that side [06654] of the mountain [02022]: and David [01732] made haste [02648] to get away [03212] for fear [06440] of Saul [07586]; for Saul [07586] and his men [0582] compassed [05849] David [01732] and his men [0582] round about [05849] to take [08610] them. 9 23 27 But there came [0935] a messenger [04397] unto Saul [07586], saying [0559], Haste [04116] thee, and come [03212]; for the Philistines [06430] have invaded [06584] the land [0776]. 9 23 28 Wherefore Saul [07586] returned [07725] from pursuing [07291] after [0310] David [01732], and went [03212] against [07125] the Philistines [06430]: therefore they called [07121] that place [04725] Selahammahlekoth [05555]. 9 23 29 And David [01732] went up [05927] from thence, and dwelt [03427] in strong holds [04679] at Engedi [05872]. 9 24 1 And it came to pass, when Saul [07586] was returned [07725] from following [0310] the Philistines [06430], that it was told [05046] him, saying [0559], Behold, David [01732] is in the wilderness [04057] of Engedi [05872]. 9 24 2 Then Saul [07586] took [03947] three [07969] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376] out of all Israel [03478], and went [03212] to seek [01245] David [01732] and his men [0582] upon [06440] the rocks [06697] of the wild goats [03277]. 9 24 3 And he came [0935] to the sheepcotes [01448] [06629] by the way [01870], where was a cave [04631]; and Saul [07586] went in [0935] to cover [05526] his feet [07272]: and David [01732] and his men [0582] remained [03427] in the sides [03411] of the cave [04631]. 9 24 4 And the men [0582] of David [01732] said [0559] unto him, Behold the day [03117] of which the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto thee, Behold, I will deliver [05414] thine enemy [0341] into thine hand [03027], that thou mayest do [06213] to him as it shall seem good [03190] unto thee [05869]. Then David [01732] arose [06965], and cut off [03772] the skirt [03671] of Saul's [07586] robe [04598] privily [03909]. 9 24 5 And it came to pass afterward [0310], that David's [01732] heart [03820] smote [05221] him, because he had cut off [03772] Saul's [07586] skirt [03671]. 9 24 6 And he said [0559] unto his men [0582], The LORD [03068] forbid [02486] that I should do [06213] this thing [01697] unto my master [0113], the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899], to stretch forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against him, seeing he is the anointed [04899] of the LORD [03068]. 9 24 7 So David [01732] stayed [08156] his servants [0582] with these words [01697], and suffered [05414] them not to rise [06965] against Saul [07586]. But Saul [07586] rose up [06965] out of the cave [04631], and went [03212] on his way [01870]. 9 24 8 David [01732] also arose [06965] afterward, and went out [03318] of the cave [04631], and cried [07121] after [0310] Saul [07586], saying [0559], My lord [0113] the king [04428]. And when Saul [07586] looked [05027] behind [0310] him, David [01732] stooped [06915] with his face [0639] to the earth [0776], and bowed [07812] himself. 9 24 9 And David [01732] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Wherefore hearest [08085] thou men's [0120] words [01697], saying [0559], Behold, David [01732] seeketh [01245] thy hurt [07451]? 9 24 10 Behold, this day [03117] thine eyes [05869] have seen [07200] how that the LORD [03068] had delivered [05414] thee to day [03117] into mine hand [03027] in the cave [04631]: and some bade [0559] me kill [02026] thee: but mine eye spared [02347] thee; and I said [0559], I will not put forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against my lord [0113]; for he is the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]. 9 24 11 Moreover, my father [01], see [07200], yea, see [07200] the skirt [03671] of thy robe [04598] in my hand [03027]: for in that I cut off [03772] the skirt [03671] of thy robe [04598], and killed [02026] thee not, know [03045] thou and see [07200] that there is neither evil [07451] nor transgression [06588] in mine hand [03027], and I have not sinned [02398] against thee; yet thou huntest [06658] my soul [05315] to take [03947] it. 9 24 12 The LORD [03068] judge [08199] between me and thee, and the LORD [03068] avenge [05358] me of thee: but mine hand [03027] shall not be upon thee. 9 24 13 As saith [0559] the proverb [04912] of the ancients [06931], Wickedness [07562] proceedeth [03318] from the wicked [07563]: but mine hand [03027] shall not be upon thee. 9 24 14 After [0310] whom is the king [04428] of Israel [03478] come out [03318]? after [0310] whom dost thou pursue [07291]? after [0310] a dead [04191] dog [03611], after [0310] a [0259] flea [06550]. 9 24 15 The LORD [03068] therefore be judge [01781], and judge [08199] between me and thee, and see [07200], and plead [07378] my cause [07379], and deliver [08199] me out of thine hand [03027]. 9 24 16 And it came to pass, when David [01732] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] these words [01697] unto Saul [07586], that Saul [07586] said [0559], Is this thy voice [06963], my son [01121] David [01732]? And Saul [07586] lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058]. 9 24 17 And he said [0559] to David [01732], Thou art more righteous [06662] than I: for thou hast rewarded [01580] me good [02896], whereas I have rewarded [01580] thee evil [07451]. 9 24 18 And thou hast shewed [05046] this day [03117] how that thou hast dealt [06213] well [02896] with me: forasmuch as when the LORD [03068] had delivered [05462] me into thine hand [03027], thou killedst [02026] me not. 9 24 19 For if a man [0376] find [04672] his enemy [0341], will he let him go [07971] well [02896] away [01870]? wherefore the LORD [03068] reward [07999] thee good [02896] for that thou hast done [06213] unto me this day [03117]. 9 24 20 And now, behold, I know well [03045] that thou shalt surely [04427] be king [04427], and that the kingdom [04467] of Israel [03478] shall be established [06965] in thine hand [03027]. 9 24 21 Swear [07650] now therefore unto me by the LORD [03068], that thou wilt not [0518] cut off [03772] my seed [02233] after [0310] me, and that thou wilt not destroy [08045] my name [08034] out of my father's [01] house [01004]. 9 24 22 And David [01732] sware [07650] unto Saul [07586]. And Saul [07586] went [03212] home [01004]; but David [01732] and his men [0582] gat them up [05927] unto the hold [04686]. 9 25 1 And Samuel [08050] died [04191]; and all the Israelites [03478] were gathered together [06908], and lamented [05594] him, and buried [06912] him in his house [01004] at Ramah [07414]. And David [01732] arose [06965], and went down [03381] to the wilderness [04057] of Paran [06290]. 9 25 2 And there was a man [0376] in Maon [04584], whose possessions [04639] were in Carmel [03760]; and the man [0376] was very [03966] great [01419], and he had three [07969] thousand [0505] sheep [06629], and a thousand [0505] goats [05795]: and he was shearing [01494] his sheep [06629] in Carmel [03760]. 9 25 3 Now the name [08034] of the man [0376] was Nabal [05037]; and the name [08034] of his wife [0802] Abigail [026]: and she was a woman [0802] of good [02896] understanding [07922], and of a beautiful [03303] countenance [08389]: but the man [0376] was churlish [07186] and evil [07451] in his doings [04611]; and he was of the house of Caleb [03614]. 9 25 4 And David [01732] heard [08085] in the wilderness [04057] that Nabal [05037] did shear [01494] his sheep [06629]. 9 25 5 And David [01732] sent out [07971] ten [06235] young men [05288], and David [01732] said [0559] unto the young men [05288], Get you up [05927] to Carmel [03760], and go [0935] to Nabal [05037], and greet [07592] [07965] him in my name [08034]: 9 25 6 And thus shall ye say [0559] to him that liveth [02416] in prosperity, Peace [07965] be both to thee, and peace [07965] be to thine house [01004], and peace [07965] be unto all that thou hast. 9 25 7 And now I have heard [08085] that thou hast shearers [01494]: now thy shepherds [07462] which were with us, we hurt [03637] them not, neither was there ought [03972] missing [06485] unto them, all the while [03117] they were in Carmel [03760]. 9 25 8 Ask [07592] thy young men [05288], and they will shew [05046] thee. Wherefore let the young men [05288] find [04672] favour [02580] in thine eyes [05869]: for we come [0935] in a good [02896] day [03117]: give [05414], I pray thee, whatsoever cometh [04672] to thine hand [03027] unto thy servants [05650], and to thy son [01121] David [01732]. 9 25 9 And when David's [01732] young men [05288] came [0935], they spake [01696] to Nabal [05037] according to all those words [01697] in the name [08034] of David [01732], and ceased [05117]. 9 25 10 And Nabal [05037] answered [06030] David's [01732] servants [05650], and said [0559], Who is David [01732]? and who is the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]? there be many [07231] servants [05650] now a days [03117] that break away [06555] every man [0376] from [06440] his master [0113]. 9 25 11 Shall I then take [03947] my bread [03899], and my water [04325], and my flesh [02878] that I have killed [02873] for my shearers [01494], and give [05414] it unto men [0582], whom I know [03045] not whence they be? 9 25 12 So David's [01732] young men [05288] turned [02015] their way [01870], and went again [07725], and came [0935] and told [05046] him all those sayings [01697]. 9 25 13 And David [01732] said [0559] unto his men [0582], Gird ye on [02296] every man [0376] his sword [02719]. And they girded on [02296] every man [0376] his sword [02719]; and David [01732] also girded on [02296] his sword [02719]: and there went up [05927] after [0310] David [01732] about four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376]; and two hundred [03967] abode [03427] by the stuff [03627]. 9 25 14 But one [0259] of the young men [05288] told [05046] Abigail [026], Nabal's [05037] wife [0802], saying [0559], Behold, David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] out of the wilderness [04057] to salute [01288] our master [0113]; and he railed [05860] on them. 9 25 15 But the men [0582] were very [03966] good [02896] unto us, and we were not hurt [03637], neither missed [06485] we any thing [03972], as long as [03117] we were conversant [01980] with them, when we were in the fields [07704]: 9 25 16 They were a wall [02346] unto us both by night [03915] and day [03119], all the while [03117] we were with them keeping [07462] the sheep [06629]. 9 25 17 Now therefore know [03045] and consider [07200] what thou wilt do [06213]; for evil [07451] is determined [03615] against our master [0113], and against all his household [01004]: for he is such a son [01121] of Belial [01100], that a man cannot speak [01696] to him. 9 25 18 Then Abigail [026] made haste [04116], and took [03947] two hundred [03967] loaves [03899], and two [08147] bottles [05035] of wine [03196], and five [02568] sheep [06629] ready dressed [06213], and five [02568] measures [05429] of parched [07039] corn, and an hundred [03967] clusters of raisins [06778], and two hundred [03967] cakes [01690] of figs, and laid [07760] them on asses [02543]. 9 25 19 And she said [0559] unto her servants [05288], Go on [05674] before [06440] me; behold, I come [0935] after [0310] you. But she told [05046] not her husband [0376] Nabal [05037]. 9 25 20 And it was so, as she rode [07392] on the ass [02543], that she came down [03381] by the covert [05643] of the hill [02022], and, behold, David [01732] and his men [0582] came down [03381] against [07125] her; and she met [06298] them. 9 25 21 Now David [01732] had said [0559], Surely in vain [08267] have I kept [08104] all that this [02088] fellow hath in the wilderness [04057], so that nothing [03972] was missed [06485] of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited [07725] me evil [07451] for good [02896]. 9 25 22 So [03541] and more [03254] also do [06213] God [0430] unto the enemies [0341] of David [01732], if I leave [07604] of all that pertain to him by [05704] the morning [01242] light [0216] any that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023]. 9 25 23 And when Abigail [026] saw [07200] David [01732], she hasted [04116], and lighted off [03381] the ass [02543], and fell [05307] before [0639] David [01732] on her face [06440], and bowed [07812] herself to the ground [0776], 9 25 24 And fell [05307] at his feet [07272], and said [0559], Upon me, my lord [0113], upon me let this iniquity [05771] be: and let thine handmaid [0519], I pray thee, speak [01696] in thine audience [0241], and hear [08085] the words [01697] of thine handmaid [0589]. 9 25 25 Let [07760] not my lord [0113], I pray thee, regard [03820] this man [0376] of Belial [01100], even Nabal [05037]: for as his name [08034] is, so is he; Nabal [05037] is his name [08034], and folly [05039] is with him: but I thine handmaid [0519] saw [07200] not the young men [05288] of my lord [0113], whom thou didst send [07971]. 9 25 26 Now therefore, my lord [0113], as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], seeing the LORD [03068] hath withholden [04513] thee from coming [0935] to shed blood [01818], and from avenging [03467] thyself with thine own hand [03027], now let thine enemies [0341], and they that seek [01245] evil [07451] to my lord [0113], be as Nabal [05037]. 9 25 27 And now this blessing [01293] which thine handmaid [08198] hath brought [0935] unto my lord [0113], let it even be given [05414] unto the young men [05288] that follow [01980] [07272] my lord [0113]. 9 25 28 I pray thee, forgive [05375] the trespass [06588] of thine handmaid [0519]: for the LORD [03068] will certainly [06213] make [06213] my lord [0113] a sure [0539] house [01004]; because my lord [0113] fighteth [03898] the battles [04421] of the LORD [03068], and evil [07451] hath not been found [04672] in thee all thy days [03117]. 9 25 29 Yet a man [0120] is risen [06965] to pursue [07291] thee, and to seek [01245] thy soul [05315]: but the soul [05315] of my lord [0113] shall be bound [06887] in the bundle [06872] of life [02416] with the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; and the souls [05315] of thine enemies [0341], them shall he sling out [07049], as out of the middle [08432] [03709] of a sling [07050]. 9 25 30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] shall have done [06213] to my lord [0113] according to all the good [02896] that he hath spoken [01696] concerning thee, and shall have appointed [06680] thee ruler [05057] over Israel [03478]; 9 25 31 That this shall be no grief [06330] unto thee, nor offence [04383] of heart [03820] unto my lord [0113], either that thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] causeless [02600], or that my lord [0113] hath avenged [03467] himself: but when the LORD [03068] shall have dealt well [03190] with my lord [0113], then remember [02142] thine handmaid [0519]. 9 25 32 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abigail [026], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which sent [07971] thee this day [03117] to meet [07125] me: 9 25 33 And blessed [01288] be thy advice [02940], and blessed [01288] be thou, which hast kept [03607] me this day [03117] from coming [0935] to shed blood [01818], and from avenging [03467] myself with mine own hand [03027]. 9 25 34 For in very deed [0199], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] liveth [02416], which hath kept me back [04513] from hurting [07489] thee, except [03884] thou hadst hasted [04116] and come [0935] to meet [07125] me, surely there had not been left [03498] unto Nabal [05037] by the morning [01242] light [0216] any that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023]. 9 25 35 So David [01732] received [03947] of her hand [03027] that which she had brought [0935] him, and said [0559] unto her, Go up [05927] in peace [07965] to thine house [01004]; see [07200], I have hearkened [08085] to thy voice [06963], and have accepted [05375] thy person [06440]. 9 25 36 And Abigail [026] came [0935] to Nabal [05037]; and, behold, he held a feast [04960] in his house [01004], like the feast [04960] of a king [04428]; and Nabal's [05037] heart [03820] was merry [02896] within him, for he was very [03966] drunken [07910]: wherefore she told [05046] him nothing [01697], less [06996] or more [01419], until the morning [01242] light [0216]. 9 25 37 But it came to pass in the morning [01242], when the wine [03196] was gone out [03318] of Nabal [05037], and his wife [0802] had told [05046] him these things [01697], that his heart [03820] died [04191] within [07130] him, and he became as a stone [068]. 9 25 38 And it came to pass about ten [06235] days [03117] after, that the LORD [03068] smote [05062] Nabal [05037], that he died [04191]. 9 25 39 And when David [01732] heard [08085] that Nabal [05037] was dead [04191], he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068], that hath pleaded [07378] the cause [07379] of my reproach [02781] from the hand [03027] of Nabal [05037], and hath kept [02820] his servant [05650] from evil [07451]: for the LORD [03068] hath returned [07725] the wickedness [07451] of Nabal [05037] upon his own head [07218]. And David [01732] sent [07971] and communed [01696] with Abigail [026], to take [03947] her to him to wife [0802]. 9 25 40 And when the servants [05650] of David [01732] were come [0935] to Abigail [026] to Carmel [03760], they spake [01696] unto her, saying [0559], David [01732] sent [07971] us unto thee, to take [03947] thee to him to wife [0802]. 9 25 41 And she arose [06965], and bowed [07812] herself on her face [0639] to the earth [0776], and said [0559], Behold, let thine handmaid [0519] be a servant [08198] to wash [07364] the feet [07272] of the servants [05650] of my lord [0113]. 9 25 42 And Abigail [026] hasted [04116], and arose [06965], and rode [07392] upon an ass [02543], with five [02568] damsels [05291] of hers that went [01980] after [07272] her; and she went [03212] after [0310] the messengers [04397] of David [01732], and became his wife [0802]. 9 25 43 David [01732] also took [03947] Ahinoam [0293] of Jezreel [03157]; and they were also both [08147] of them his wives [0802]. 9 25 44 But Saul [07586] had given [05414] Michal [04324] his daughter [01323], David's [01732] wife [0802], to Phalti [06406] the son [01121] of Laish [03919], which was of Gallim [01554]. 9 26 1 And the Ziphites [02130] came [0935] unto Saul [07586] to Gibeah [01390], saying [0559], Doth not David [01732] hide [05641] himself in the hill [01389] of Hachilah [02444], which is before [06440] Jeshimon [03452]? 9 26 2 Then Saul [07586] arose [06965], and went down [03381] to the wilderness [04057] of Ziph [02128], having three [07969] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376] of Israel [03478] with him, to seek [01245] David [01732] in the wilderness [04057] of Ziph [02128]. 9 26 3 And Saul [07586] pitched [02583] in the hill [01389] of Hachilah [02444], which is before [06440] Jeshimon [03452], by the way [01870]. But David [01732] abode [03427] in the wilderness [04057], and he saw [07200] that Saul [07586] came [0935] after [0310] him into the wilderness [04057]. 9 26 4 David [01732] therefore sent out [07971] spies [07270], and understood [03045] that Saul [07586] was come [0935] in very deed [03559]. 9 26 5 And David [01732] arose [06965], and came [0935] to the place [04725] where Saul [07586] had pitched [02583]: and David [01732] beheld [07200] the place [04725] where Saul [07586] lay [07901], and Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], the captain [08269] of his host [06635]: and Saul [07586] lay [07901] in the trench [04570], and the people [05971] pitched [02583] round about [05439] him. 9 26 6 Then answered [06030] David [01732] and said [0559] to Ahimelech [0288] the Hittite [02850], and to Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], brother [0251] to Joab [03097], saying [0559], Who will go down [03381] with me to Saul [07586] to the camp [04264]? And Abishai [052] said [0559], I will go down [03381] with thee. 9 26 7 So David [01732] and Abishai [052] came [0935] to the people [05971] by night [03915]: and, behold, Saul [07586] lay [07901] sleeping [03463] within the trench [04570], and his spear [02595] stuck [04600] in the ground [0776] at his bolster [04763]: but Abner [074] and the people [05971] lay [07901] round about [05439] him. 9 26 8 Then said [0559] Abishai [052] to David [01732], God [0430] hath delivered [05462] thine enemy [0341] into thine hand [03027] this day [03117]: now therefore let me smite [05221] him, I pray thee, with the spear [02595] even to the earth [0776] at once [06471] [0259], and I will not smite him the second time [08138]. 9 26 9 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abishai [052], Destroy [07843] him not: for who can stretch forth [07971] his hand [03027] against the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899], and be guiltless [05352]? 9 26 10 David [01732] said [0559] furthermore, As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], the LORD [03068] shall smite [05062] him; or his day [03117] shall come [0935] to die [04191]; or he shall descend [03381] into battle [04421], and perish [05595]. 9 26 11 The LORD [03068] forbid [02486] that I should stretch forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]: but, I pray thee, take [03947] thou now the spear [02595] that is at his bolster [04763], and the cruse [06835] of water [04325], and let us go [03212]. 9 26 12 So David [01732] took [03947] the spear [02595] and the cruse [06835] of water [04325] from Saul's [07586] bolster [07226]; and they gat them away [03212], and no man saw [07200] it, nor knew [03045] it, neither awaked [06974]: for they were all asleep [03463]; because a deep sleep [08639] from the LORD [03068] was fallen [05307] upon them. 9 26 13 Then David [01732] went over [05674] to the other side [05676], and stood [05975] on the top [07218] of an hill [02022] afar off [07350]; a great [07227] space [04725] being between them: 9 26 14 And David [01732] cried [07121] to the people [05971], and to Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], saying [0559], Answerest [06030] thou not, Abner [074]? Then Abner [074] answered [06030] and said [0559], Who art thou that criest [07121] to the king [04428]? 9 26 15 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abner [074], Art not thou a valiant man [0376]? and who is like to thee in Israel [03478]? wherefore then hast thou not kept [08104] thy lord [0113] the king [04428]? for there came [0935] one [0259] of the people [05971] in to destroy [07843] the king [04428] thy lord [0113]. 9 26 16 This thing [01697] is not good [02896] that thou hast done [06213]. As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], ye are worthy [01121] to die [04194], because ye have not kept [08104] your master [0113], the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]. And now see [07200] where the king's [04428] spear [02595] is, and the cruse [06835] of water [04325] that was at his bolster [04763]. 9 26 17 And Saul [07586] knew [05234] David's [01732] voice [06963], and said [0559], Is this thy voice [06963], my son [01121] David [01732]? And David [01732] said [0559], It is my voice [06963], my lord [0113], O king [04428]. 9 26 18 And he said [0559], Wherefore doth my lord [0113] thus pursue [07291] after [0310] his servant [05650]? for what have I done [06213]? or what evil [07451] is in mine hand [03027]? 9 26 19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord [0113] the king [04428] hear [08085] the words [01697] of his servant [05650]. If the LORD [03068] have stirred thee up [05496] against me, let him accept [07306] an offering [04503]: but if they be the children [01121] of men [0120], cursed [0779] be they before [06440] the LORD [03068]; for they have driven [01644] me out this day [03117] from abiding [05596] in the inheritance [05159] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Go [03212], serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430]. 9 26 20 Now therefore, let not my blood [01818] fall [05307] to the earth [0776] before the face [06440] of the LORD [03068]: for the king [04428] of Israel [03478] is come out [03318] to seek [01245] a [0259] flea [06550], as when one doth hunt [07291] a partridge [07124] in the mountains [02022]. 9 26 21 Then said [0559] Saul [07586], I have sinned [02398]: return [07725], my son [01121] David [01732]: for I will no more do thee harm [07489], because my soul [05315] was precious [03365] in thine eyes [05869] this day [03117]: behold, I have played the fool [05528], and have erred [07686] exceedingly [07235] [03966]. 9 26 22 And David [01732] answered [06030] and said [0559], Behold the king's [04428] spear [02595]! and let one [0259] of the young men [05288] come over [05674] and fetch [03947] it. 9 26 23 The LORD [03068] render [07725] to every man [0376] his righteousness [06666] and his faithfulness [0530]: for the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] thee into my hand [03027] to day [03117], but I would [014] not stretch forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]. 9 26 24 And, behold, as thy life [05315] was much set by [01431] this day [03117] in mine eyes [05869], so let my life [05315] be much set by [01431] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], and let him deliver [05337] me out of all tribulation [06869]. 9 26 25 Then Saul [07586] said [0559] to David [01732], Blessed [01288] be thou, my son [01121] David [01732]: thou shalt both do [06213] great [06213] things, and also shalt still [03201] prevail [03201]. So David [01732] went [03212] on his way [01870], and Saul [07586] returned [07725] to his place [04725]. 9 27 1 And David [01732] said [0559] in his heart [03820], I shall now perish [05595] one [0259] day [03117] by the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]: there is nothing better [02896] for me than that [03588] I should speedily [04422] escape [04422] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]; and Saul [07586] shall despair [02976] of me, to seek [01245] me any more in any coast [01366] of Israel [03478]: so shall I escape [04422] out of his hand [03027]. 9 27 2 And David [01732] arose [06965], and he passed over [05674] with the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] that were with him unto Achish [0397], the son [01121] of Maoch [04582], king [04428] of Gath [01661]. 9 27 3 And David [01732] dwelt [03427] with Achish [0397] at Gath [01661], he and his men [0582], every man [0376] with his household [01004], even David [01732] with his two [08147] wives [0802], Ahinoam [0293] the Jezreelitess [03159], and Abigail [026] the Carmelitess [03762], Nabal's [05037] wife [0802]. 9 27 4 And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was fled [01272] to Gath [01661]: and he sought [01245] no more again [03254] [03254] for him. 9 27 5 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Achish [0397], If I have now found [04672] grace [02580] in thine eyes [05869], let them give [05414] me a place [04725] in some [0259] town [05892] in the country [07704], that I may dwell [03427] there: for why should thy servant [05650] dwell [03427] in the royal [04467] city [05892] with thee? 9 27 6 Then Achish [0397] gave [05414] him Ziklag [06860] that day [03117]: wherefore Ziklag [06860] pertaineth unto the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] unto this day [03117]. 9 27 7 And the time [04557] [03117] that David [01732] dwelt [03427] in the country [07704] of the Philistines [06430] was a full year [03117] and four [0702] months [02320]. 9 27 8 And David [01732] and his men [0582] went up [05927], and invaded [06584] the Geshurites [01651], and the Gezrites [01511], and the Amalekites [06003]: for those [02007] nations were of old [05769] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], as thou goest [0935] to Shur [07793], even unto the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 9 27 9 And David [01732] smote [05221] the land [0776], and left neither man [0376] nor woman [0802] alive [02421], and took away [03947] the sheep [06629], and the oxen [01241], and the asses [02543], and the camels [01581], and the apparel [0899], and returned [07725], and came [0935] to Achish [0397]. 9 27 10 And Achish [0397] said [0559], Whither [0408] have ye made a road [06584] to day [03117]? And David [01732] said [0559], Against the south [05045] of Judah [03063], and against the south [05045] of the Jerahmeelites [03397], and against the south [05045] of the Kenites [07017]. 9 27 11 And David [01732] saved [02421] neither man [0376] nor woman [0802] alive [02421], to bring [0935] tidings to Gath [01661], saying [0559], Lest they should tell [05046] on us, saying [0559], So did [06213] David [01732], and so will be his manner [04941] all the while [03117] he dwelleth [03427] in the country [07704] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 27 12 And Achish [0397] believed [0539] David [01732], saying [0559], He hath made his people [05971] Israel [03478] utterly [0887] to abhor [0887] him; therefore he shall be my servant [05650] for ever [05769]. 9 28 1 And it came to pass in those days [03117], that the Philistines [06430] gathered [06908] their armies [04264] together [06908] for warfare [06635], to fight [03898] with Israel [03478]. And Achish [0397] said [0559] unto David [01732], Know [03045] thou assuredly [03045], that thou shalt go out [03318] with me to battle [04264], thou and thy men [0582]. 9 28 2 And David [01732] said [0559] to Achish [0397], Surely [03651] thou shalt know [03045] what thy servant [05650] can do [06213]. And Achish [0397] said [0559] to David [01732], Therefore will I make [07760] thee keeper [08104] of mine head [07218] for ever [03117]. 9 28 3 Now Samuel [08050] was dead [04191], and all Israel [03478] had lamented [05594] him, and buried [06912] him in Ramah [07414], even in his own city [05892]. And Saul [07586] had put away [05493] those that had familiar spirits [0178], and the wizards [03049], out of the land [0776]. 9 28 4 And the Philistines [06430] gathered themselves together [06908], and came [0935] and pitched [02583] in Shunem [07766]: and Saul [07586] gathered [06908] all Israel [03478] together [06908], and they pitched [02583] in Gilboa [01533]. 9 28 5 And when Saul [07586] saw [07200] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430], he was afraid [03372], and his heart [03820] greatly [03966] trembled [02729]. 9 28 6 And when Saul [07586] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], the LORD [03068] answered [06030] him not, neither by dreams [02472], nor by Urim [0224], nor by prophets [05030]. 9 28 7 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] unto his servants [05650], Seek [01245] me a woman [0802] that hath [01172] a familiar spirit [0178], that I may go [03212] to her, and enquire [01875] of her. And his servants [05650] said [0559] to him, Behold, there is a woman [0802] that hath [01172] a familiar spirit [0178] at Endor [05874]. 9 28 8 And Saul [07586] disguised [02664] himself, and put on [03847] other [0312] raiment [0899], and he went [03212], and two [08147] men [0582] with him, and they came [0935] to the woman [0802] by night [03915]: and he said [0559], I pray thee, divine [07080] unto me by the familiar spirit [0178], and bring me him up [05927], whom I shall name [0559] unto thee. 9 28 9 And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto him, Behold, thou knowest [03045] what Saul [07586] hath done [06213], how he hath cut off [03772] those that have familiar spirits [0178], and the wizards [03049], out of the land [0776]: wherefore then layest thou a snare [05367] for my life [05315], to cause me to die [04191]? 9 28 10 And Saul [07586] sware [07650] to her by the LORD [03068], saying [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], there shall [0518] no punishment [05771] happen [07136] to thee for this thing [01697]. 9 28 11 Then said [0559] the woman [0802], Whom shall I bring up [05927] unto thee? And he said [0559], Bring me up [05927] Samuel [08050]. 9 28 12 And when the woman [0802] saw [07200] Samuel [08050], she cried [02199] with a loud [01419] voice [06963]: and the woman [0802] spake [0559] to Saul [07586], saying [0559], Why hast thou deceived [07411] me? for thou art Saul [07586]. 9 28 13 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto her, Be not afraid [03372]: for what sawest [07200] thou? And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto Saul [07586], I saw [07200] gods [0430] ascending [05927] out of the earth [0776]. 9 28 14 And he said [0559] unto her, What form [08389] is he of? And she said [0559], An old [02205] man [0376] cometh up [05927]; and he is covered [05844] with a mantle [04598]. And Saul [07586] perceived [03045] that it was Samuel [08050], and he stooped [06915] with his face [0639] to the ground [0776], and bowed [07812] himself. 9 28 15 And Samuel [08050] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Why hast thou disquieted [07264] me, to bring me up [05927]? And Saul [07586] answered [0559], I am sore [03966] distressed [06887]; for the Philistines [06430] make war [03898] against me, and God [0430] is departed [05493] from me, and answereth [06030] me no more, neither by [03027] prophets [05030], nor by dreams [02472]: therefore I have called [07121] thee, that thou mayest make known [03045] unto me what I shall do [06213]. 9 28 16 Then said [0559] Samuel [08050], Wherefore then dost thou ask [07592] of me, seeing the LORD [03068] is departed [05493] from thee, and is become thine enemy [06145]? 9 28 17 And the LORD [03068] hath done [06213] to him, as he spake [01696] by me [03027]: for the LORD [03068] hath rent [07167] the kingdom [04467] out of thine hand [03027], and given [05414] it to thy neighbour [07453], even to David [01732]: 9 28 18 Because [0834] thou obeyedst [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], nor executedst [06213] his fierce [02740] wrath [0639] upon Amalek [06002], therefore hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] this thing [01697] unto thee this day [03117]. 9 28 19 Moreover the LORD [03068] will also deliver [05414] Israel [03478] with thee into the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]: and to morrow [04279] shalt thou and thy sons [01121] be with me: the LORD [03068] also shall deliver [05414] the host [04264] of Israel [03478] into the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 28 20 Then Saul [07586] fell [05307] straightway [04116] all [04393] along [06967] on the earth [0776], and was sore [03966] afraid [03372], because of the words [01697] of Samuel [08050]: and there was no strength [03581] in him; for he had eaten [0398] no bread [03899] all the day [03117], nor all the night [03915]. 9 28 21 And the woman [0802] came [0935] unto Saul [07586], and saw [07200] that he was sore [03966] troubled [0926], and said [0559] unto him, Behold, thine handmaid [08198] hath obeyed [08085] thy voice [06963], and I have put [07760] my life [05315] in my hand [03709], and have hearkened [08085] unto thy words [01697] which thou spakest [01696] unto me. 9 28 22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken [08085] thou also unto the voice [06963] of thine handmaid [08198], and let me set [07760] a morsel [06595] of bread [03899] before [06440] thee; and eat [0398], that thou mayest have strength [03581], when thou goest [03212] on thy way [01870]. 9 28 23 But he refused [03985], and said [0559], I will not eat [0398]. But his servants [05650], together with the woman [0802], compelled [06555] him; and he hearkened [08085] unto their voice [06963]. So he arose [06965] from the earth [0776], and sat [03427] upon the bed [04296]. 9 28 24 And the woman [0802] had a fat [04770] calf [05695] in the house [01004]; and she hasted [04116], and killed [02076] it, and took [03947] flour [07058], and kneaded [03888] it, and did bake [0644] unleavened bread [04682] thereof: 9 28 25 And she brought [05066] it before [06440] Saul [07586], and before [06440] his servants [05650]; and they did eat [0398]. Then they rose up [06965], and went away [03212] that night [03915]. 9 29 1 Now the Philistines [06430] gathered together [06908] all their armies [04264] to Aphek [0663]: and the Israelites [03478] pitched [02583] by a fountain [05869] which is in Jezreel [03157]. 9 29 2 And the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] passed on [05674] by hundreds [03967], and by thousands [0505]: but David [01732] and his men [0582] passed on [05674] in the rereward [0314] with Achish [0397]. 9 29 3 Then said [0559] the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430], What do these Hebrews [05680] here? And Achish [0397] said [0559] unto the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430], Is not this David [01732], the servant [05650] of Saul [07586] the king [04428] of Israel [03478], which hath been with me these days [03117], or these years [08141], and I have found [04672] no fault [03972] in him since [03117] he fell [05307] unto me unto this day [03117]? 9 29 4 And the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] were wroth [07107] with him; and the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] said [0559] unto him, Make [07725] this fellow [0376] return [07725], that he may go again [07725] to his place [04725] which thou hast appointed [06485] him, and let him not go down [03381] with us to battle [04421], lest in the battle [04421] he be an adversary [07854] to us: for wherewith should he reconcile [07521] himself unto his master [0113]? should it not be with the heads [07218] of these men [0582]? 9 29 5 Is not this David [01732], of whom they sang [06030] one to another in dances [04246], saying [0559], Saul [07586] slew [05221] his thousands [0505], and David [01732] his ten thousands [07233]? 9 29 6 Then Achish [0397] called [07121] David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Surely, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], thou hast been upright [03477], and thy going out [03318] and thy coming in [0935] with me in the host [04264] is good [02896] in my sight [05869]: for I have not found [04672] evil [07451] in thee since the day [03117] of thy coming [0935] unto me unto this day [03117]: nevertheless the lords [05633] favour [02896] thee not [05869]. 9 29 7 Wherefore now return [07725], and go [03212] in peace [07965], that thou displease [06213] [07451] [05869] not the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430]. 9 29 8 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Achish [0397], But what have I done [06213]? and what hast thou found [04672] in thy servant [05650] so long as [03117] I have been with thee [06440] unto this day [03117], that I may not go [0935] fight [03898] against the enemies [0341] of my lord [0113] the king [04428]? 9 29 9 And Achish [0397] answered [06030] and said [0559] to David [01732], I know [03045] that thou art good [02896] in my sight [05869], as an angel [04397] of God [0430]: notwithstanding the princes [08269] of the Philistines [06430] have said [0559], He shall not go up [05927] with us to the battle [04421]. 9 29 10 Wherefore now rise up early [07925] in the morning [01242] with thy master's [0113] servants [05650] that are come [0935] with thee: and as soon as ye be up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and have light [0215], depart [03212]. 9 29 11 So David [01732] and his men [0582] rose up early [07925] to depart [03212] in the morning [01242], to return [07725] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]. And the Philistines [06430] went up [05927] to Jezreel [03157]. 9 30 1 And it came to pass, when David [01732] and his men [0582] were come [0935] to Ziklag [06860] on the third [07992] day [03117], that the Amalekites [06003] had invaded [06584] the south [05045], and Ziklag [06860], and smitten [05221] Ziklag [06860], and burned [08313] it with fire [0784]; 9 30 2 And had taken the women [0802] captives [07617], that were therein: they slew [04191] not any [0376], either great [01419] or small [06996], but carried them away [05090], and went [03212] on their way [01870]. 9 30 3 So David [01732] and his men [0582] came [0935] to the city [05892], and, behold, it was burned [08313] with fire [0784]; and their wives [0802], and their sons [01121], and their daughters [01323], were taken captives [07617]. 9 30 4 Then David [01732] and the people [05971] that were with him lifted up [05375] their voice [06963] and wept [01058], until they had no more power [03581] to weep [01058]. 9 30 5 And David's [01732] two [08147] wives [0802] were taken captives [07617], Ahinoam [0293] the Jezreelitess [03159], and Abigail [026] the wife [0802] of Nabal [05037] the Carmelite [03761]. 9 30 6 And David [01732] was greatly [03966] distressed [03334]; for the people [05971] spake [0559] of stoning [05619] him, because the soul [05315] of all the people [05971] was grieved [04843], every man [0376] for his sons [01121] and for his daughters [01323]: but David [01732] encouraged [02388] himself in the LORD [03068] his God [0430]. 9 30 7 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abiathar [054] the priest [03548], Ahimelech's [0288] son [01121], I pray thee, bring me hither [05066] the ephod [0646]. And Abiathar [054] brought [05066] thither the ephod [0646] to David [01732]. 9 30 8 And David [01732] enquired [07592] at the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Shall I pursue [07291] after [0310] this troop [01416]? shall I overtake [05381] them? And he answered [0559] him, Pursue [07291]: for thou shalt surely [05381] overtake [05381] them, and without fail [05337] recover [05337] all. 9 30 9 So David [01732] went [03212], he and the six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] that were with him, and came [0935] to the brook [05158] Besor [01308], where those that were left behind [03498] stayed [05975]. 9 30 10 But David [01732] pursued [07291], he and four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376]: for two hundred [03967] abode behind [05975], which were so faint [06296] that they could not go over [05674] the brook [05158] Besor [01308]. 9 30 11 And they found [04672] an Egyptian [0376] [04713] in the field [07704], and brought [03947] him to David [01732], and gave [05414] him bread [03899], and he did eat [0398]; and they made him drink [08248] water [04325]; 9 30 12 And they gave [05414] him a piece [06400] of a cake [01690] of figs, and two [08147] clusters of raisins [06778]: and when he had eaten [0398], his spirit [07307] came again [07725] to him: for he had eaten [0398] no bread [03899], nor drunk [08354] any water [04325], three [07969] days [03117] and three [07969] nights [03915]. 9 30 13 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said [0559], I am a young man [05288] of Egypt [04713], servant [05650] to an Amalekite [0376] [06003]; and my master [0113] left [05800] me, because three [07969] days [03117] agone I fell sick [02470]. 9 30 14 We made an invasion [06584] upon the south [05045] of the Cherethites [03774], and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah [03063], and upon the south [05045] of Caleb [03612]; and we burned [08313] Ziklag [06860] with fire [0784]. 9 30 15 And David [01732] said [0559] to him, Canst thou bring me down [03381] to this company [01416]? And he said [0559], Swear [07650] unto me by God [0430], that thou wilt neither kill [04191] me, nor [0518] deliver [05462] me into the hands [03027] of my master [0113], and I will bring thee down [03381] to this company [01416]. 9 30 16 And when he had brought him down [03381], behold, they were spread abroad [05203] upon all [06440] the earth [0776], eating [0398] and drinking [08354], and dancing [02287], because of all the great [01419] spoil [07998] that they had taken [03947] out of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and out of the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. 9 30 17 And David [01732] smote [05221] them from the twilight [05399] even unto the evening [06153] of the next day [04283]: and there escaped [04422] not a man [0376] of them, save four [0702] hundred [03967] young [05288] men [0376], which rode [07392] upon camels [01581], and fled [05127]. 9 30 18 And David [01732] recovered [05337] all that the Amalekites [06002] had carried away [03947]: and David [01732] rescued [05337] his two [08147] wives [0802]. 9 30 19 And there was nothing lacking [05737] to them, neither [04480] small [06996] nor great [01419], neither sons [01121] nor daughters [01323], neither spoil [07998], nor any thing that they had taken [03947] to them: David [01732] recovered [07725] all. 9 30 20 And David [01732] took [03947] all the flocks [06629] and the herds [01241], which they drave [05090] before [06440] those [01931] other cattle [04735], and said [0559], This is David's [01732] spoil [07998]. 9 30 21 And David [01732] came [0935] to the two hundred [03967] men [0582], which were so faint [06296] that they could not follow [03212] [0310] David [01732], whom they had made also to abide [03427] at the brook [05158] Besor [01308]: and they went forth [03318] to meet [07125] David [01732], and to meet [07125] the people [05971] that were with him: and when David [01732] came near [05066] to the people [05971], he saluted [07592] [07965] them. 9 30 22 Then answered [06030] all the wicked [07451] men [0376] and men of Belial [01100], of those [0582] that went [01980] with David [01732], and said [0559], Because they went [01980] not with us, we will not give [05414] them ought of the spoil [07998] that we have recovered [05337], save to every man [0376] his wife [0802] and his children [01121], that they may lead them away [05090], and depart [03212]. 9 30 23 Then said [0559] David [01732], Ye shall not do so [06213], my brethren [0251], with that which the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] us, who hath preserved [08104] us, and delivered [05414] the company [01416] that came [0935] against us into our hand [03027]. 9 30 24 For who will hearken [08085] unto you in this matter [01697]? but as his part [02506] is that goeth down [03381] [03381] to the battle [04421], so shall his part [02506] be that tarrieth [03427] by the stuff [03627]: they shall part [02505] alike [03162]. 9 30 25 And it was so from that day [03117] forward [04605], that he made [07760] it a statute [02706] and an ordinance [04941] for Israel [03478] unto this day [03117]. 9 30 26 And when David [01732] came [0935] to Ziklag [06860], he sent [07971] of the spoil [07998] unto the elders [02205] of Judah [03063], even to his friends [07453], saying [0559], Behold a present [01293] for you of the spoil [07998] of the enemies [0341] of the LORD [03068]; 9 30 27 To them [0834] which were in Bethel [01008], and to them which were in south [05045] Ramoth [07418], and to them which were in Jattir [03492], 9 30 28 And to them which were in Aroer [06177], and to them which were in Siphmoth [08224], and to them which were in Eshtemoa [0851], 9 30 29 And to them which were in Rachal [07403], and to them which were in the cities [05892] of the Jerahmeelites [03397], and to them which were in the cities [05892] of the Kenites [07017], 9 30 30 And to them which were in Hormah [02767], and to them which were in Chorashan [03565], and to them which were in Athach [06269], 9 30 31 And to them which were in Hebron [02275], and to all the places [04725] where David [01732] himself and his men [0582] were wont to haunt [01980]. 9 31 1 Now the Philistines [06430] fought [03898] against Israel [03478]: and the men [0582] of Israel [03478] fled [05127] from before [06440] the Philistines [06430], and fell down [05307] slain [02491] in mount [02022] Gilboa [01533]. 9 31 2 And the Philistines [06430] followed hard [01692] upon Saul [07586] and upon his sons [01121]; and the Philistines [06430] slew [05221] Jonathan [03083], and Abinadab [041], and Malchishua [04444], Saul's [07586] sons [01121]. 9 31 3 And the battle [04421] went sore [03513] against Saul [07586], and the archers [03384] [0582] [07198] hit [04672] him; and he was sore [03966] wounded [02342] of the archers [03384] [0582] [07198]. 9 31 4 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] unto his armourbearer [05375] [03627], Draw [08025] thy sword [02719], and thrust me through [01856] therewith; lest these uncircumcised [06189] come [0935] and thrust me through [01856], and abuse [05953] me. But his armourbearer [05375] [03627] would [014] not; for he was sore [03966] afraid [03372]. Therefore Saul [07586] took [03947] a sword [02719], and fell [05307] upon it. 9 31 5 And when his armourbearer [05375] [03627] saw [07200] that Saul [07586] was dead [04191], he fell [05307] likewise upon his sword [02719], and died [04191] with him. 9 31 6 So Saul [07586] died [04191], and his three [07969] sons [01121], and his armourbearer [05375] [03627], and all his men [0582], that same day [03117] together [03162]. 9 31 7 And when the men [0582] of Israel [03478] that were on the other side [05676] of the valley [06010], and they that were on the other side [05676] Jordan [03383], saw [07200] that the men [0582] of Israel [03478] fled [05127], and that Saul [07586] and his sons [01121] were dead [04191], they forsook [05800] the cities [05892], and fled [05127]; and the Philistines [06430] came [0935] and dwelt [03427] in them. 9 31 8 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], when the Philistines [06430] came [0935] to strip [06584] the slain [02491], that they found [04672] Saul [07586] and his three [07969] sons [01121] fallen [05307] in mount [02022] Gilboa [01533]. 9 31 9 And they cut off [03772] his head [07218], and stripped off [06584] his armour [03627], and sent [07971] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430] round about [05439], to publish [01319] it in the house [01004] of their idols [06091], and among the people [05971]. 9 31 10 And they put [07760] his armour [03627] in the house [01004] of Ashtaroth [06252] [01045]: and they fastened [08628] his body [01472] to the wall [02346] of Bethshan [01052]. 9 31 11 And when the inhabitants [03427] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] heard [08085] of that which the Philistines [06430] had done [06213] to Saul [07586]; 9 31 12 All the valiant [02428] men [0376] [0381] arose [06965], and went [03212] all night [03915], and took [03947] the body [01472] of Saul [07586] and the bodies [01472] of his sons [01121] from the wall [02346] of Bethshan [01052], and came [0935] to Jabesh [03003], and burnt [08313] them there. 9 31 13 And they took [03947] their bones [06106], and buried [06912] them under a tree [0815] at Jabesh [03003], and fasted [06684] seven [07651] days [03117]. 10 1 1 Now it came to pass after [0310] the death [04194] of Saul [07586], when David [01732] was returned [07725] from the slaughter [05221] of the Amalekites [06002], and David [01732] had abode [03427] two [08147] days [03117] in Ziklag [06860]; 10 1 2 It came even to pass on the third [07992] day [03117], that, behold, a man [0376] came [0935] out of the camp [04264] from Saul [07586] with his clothes [0899] rent [07167], and earth [0127] upon his head [07218]: and so it was, when he came [0935] to David [01732], that he fell [05307] to the earth [0776], and did obeisance [07812]. 10 1 3 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, From whence comest [0935] thou? And he said [0559] unto him, Out of the camp [04264] of Israel [03478] am I escaped [04422]. 10 1 4 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, How [04100] went the matter [01697]? I pray thee, tell [05046] me. And he answered [0559], That the people [05971] are fled [05127] from the battle [04421], and many [07235] of the people [05971] also are fallen [05307] and dead [04191]; and Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] his son [01121] are dead [04191] also. 10 1 5 And David [01732] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that told [05046] him, How knowest [03045] thou that Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] his son [01121] be dead [04191]? 10 1 6 And the young man [05288] that told [05046] him said [0559], As I happened [07136] by chance [07122] upon mount [02022] Gilboa [01533], behold, Saul [07586] leaned [08172] upon his spear [02595]; and, lo, the chariots [07393] and horsemen [01167] [06571] followed hard [01692] after him. 10 1 7 And when he looked [06437] behind [0310] him, he saw [07200] me, and called [07121] unto me. And I answered [0559], Here am I. 10 1 8 And he said [0559] unto me, Who art thou? And I answered [0559] him, I am an Amalekite [06003]. 10 1 9 He said [0559] unto me again, Stand [05975], I pray thee, upon me, and slay [04191] me: for anguish [07661] is come [0270] upon me, because my life [05315] is yet whole in me. 10 1 10 So I stood [05975] upon him, and slew [04191] him, because I was sure [03045] that he could not live [02421] after [0310] that he was fallen [05307]: and I took [03947] the crown [05145] that was upon his head [07218], and the bracelet [0685] that was on his arm [02220], and have brought [0935] them hither unto my lord [0113]. 10 1 11 Then David [01732] took hold [02388] on his clothes [0899], and rent [07167] them; and likewise all the men [0582] that were with him: 10 1 12 And they mourned [05594], and wept [01058], and fasted [06684] until even [06153], for Saul [07586], and for Jonathan [03083] his son [01121], and for the people [05971] of the LORD [03068], and for the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; because they were fallen [05307] by the sword [02719]. 10 1 13 And David [01732] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that told [05046] him, Whence art thou? And he answered [0559], I am the son [01121] of a stranger [0376] [01616], an Amalekite [06003]. 10 1 14 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, How wast thou not afraid [03372] to stretch forth [07971] thine hand [03027] to destroy [07843] the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]? 10 1 15 And David [01732] called [07121] one [0259] of the young men [05288], and said [0559], Go near [05066], and fall [06293] upon him. And he smote [05221] him that he died [04191]. 10 1 16 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, Thy blood [01818] be upon thy head [07218]; for thy mouth [06310] hath testified [06030] against thee, saying [0559], I have slain [04191] the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]. 10 1 17 And David [01732] lamented [06969] with this lamentation [07015] over Saul [07586] and over Jonathan [03083] his son [01121]: 10 1 18 (Also he bade [0559] them teach [03925] the children [01121] of Judah [03063] the use of the bow [07198]: behold, it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of Jasher [03477].) 10 1 19 The beauty [06643] of Israel [03478] is slain [02491] upon thy high places [01116]: how are the mighty [01368] fallen [05307] ! 10 1 20 Tell [05046] it not in Gath [01661], publish [01319] it not in the streets [02351] of Askelon [0831]; lest the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430] rejoice [08055], lest the daughters [01323] of the uncircumcised [06189] triumph [05937]. 10 1 21 Ye mountains [02022] of Gilboa [01533], let there be no dew [02919], neither let there be rain [04306], upon you, nor fields [07704] of offerings [08641]: for there the shield [04043] of the mighty [01368] is vilely cast away [01602], the shield [04043] of Saul [07586], as though he had not been anointed [04899] with oil [08081]. 10 1 22 From the blood [01818] of the slain [02491], from the fat [02459] of the mighty [01368], the bow [07198] of Jonathan [03083] turned [07734] not back [0268], and the sword [02719] of Saul [07586] returned [07725] not empty [07387]. 10 1 23 Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] were lovely [0157] and pleasant [05273] in their lives [02416], and in their death [04194] they were not divided [06504]: they were swifter [07043] than eagles [05404], they were stronger [01396] than lions [0738]. 10 1 24 Ye daughters [01323] of Israel [03478], weep over [01058] Saul [07586], who clothed [03847] you in scarlet [08144], with other delights [05730], who put [05927] on ornaments [05716] of gold [02091] upon your apparel [03830]. 10 1 25 How are the mighty [01368] fallen [05307] in the midst [08432] of the battle [04421]! O Jonathan [03083], thou wast slain [02491] in thine high places [01116]. 10 1 26 I am distressed [06887] for thee, my brother [0251] Jonathan [03083]: very [03966] pleasant [05276] hast thou been unto me: thy love [0160] to me was wonderful [06381], passing the love [0160] of women [0802]. 10 1 27 How are the mighty [01368] fallen [05307], and the weapons [03627] of war [04421] perished [06] ! 10 2 1 And it came to pass after this [0310], that David [01732] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Shall I go up [05927] into any [0259] of the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927]. And David [01732] said [0559], Whither shall I go up [05927]? And he said [0559], Unto Hebron [02275]. 10 2 2 So David [01732] went up [05927] thither, and his two [08147] wives [0802] also, Ahinoam [0293] the Jezreelitess [03159], and Abigail [026] Nabal's [05037] wife [0802] the Carmelite [03761]. 10 2 3 And his men [0582] that were with him did David [01732] bring up [05927], every man [0376] with his household [01004]: and they dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] of Hebron [02275]. 10 2 4 And the men [0582] of Judah [03063] came [0935], and there they anointed [04886] David [01732] king [04428] over the house [01004] of Judah [03063]. And they told [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], That the men [0582] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] were they that buried [06912] Saul [07586]. 10 2 5 And David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto the men [0582] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568], and said [0559] unto them, Blessed [01288] be ye of the LORD [03068], that ye have shewed [06213] this kindness [02617] unto your lord [0113], even unto Saul [07586], and have buried [06912] him. 10 2 6 And now the LORD [03068] shew [06213] kindness [02617] and truth [0571] unto you: and I also will requite [06213] you this kindness [02896], because ye have done [06213] this thing [01697]. 10 2 7 Therefore now let your hands [03027] be strengthened [02388], and be ye valiant [01121] [02428]: for your master [0113] Saul [07586] is dead [04191], and also the house [01004] of Judah [03063] have anointed [04886] me king [04428] over them. 10 2 8 But Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], captain [08269] of Saul's [07586] host [06635], took [03947] Ishbosheth [0378] the son [01121] of Saul [07586], and brought him over [05674] to Mahanaim [04266]; 10 2 9 And made him king [04427] over Gilead [01568], and over the Ashurites [0805], and over Jezreel [03157], and over Ephraim [0669], and over Benjamin [01144], and over all Israel [03478]. 10 2 10 Ishbosheth [0378] Saul's [07586] son [01121] was forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478], and reigned [04427] two [08147] years [08141]. But the house [01004] of Judah [03063] followed [0310] David [01732]. 10 2 11 And the time [04557] [03117] that David [01732] was king [04428] in Hebron [02275] over the house [01004] of Judah [03063] was seven [07651] years [08141] and six [08337] months [02320]. 10 2 12 And Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], and the servants [05650] of Ishbosheth [0378] the son [01121] of Saul [07586], went out [03318] from Mahanaim [04266] to Gibeon [01391]. 10 2 13 And Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], and the servants [05650] of David [01732], went out [03318], and met [06298] together [03162] by the pool [01295] of Gibeon [01391]: and they sat down [03427], the one on the one side of the pool [01295], and the other on the other side of the pool [01295]. 10 2 14 And Abner [074] said [0559] to Joab [03097], Let the young men [05288] now arise [06965], and play [07832] before [06440] us. And Joab [03097] said [0559], Let them arise [06965]. 10 2 15 Then there arose [06965] and went over [05674] by number [04557] twelve [08147] [06240] of Benjamin [01144], which pertained to Ishbosheth [0378] the son [01121] of Saul [07586], and twelve [08147] [06240] of the servants [05650] of David [01732]. 10 2 16 And they caught [02388] every one [0376] his fellow [07453] by the head [07218], and thrust his sword [02719] in his fellow's [07453] side [06654]; so they fell down [05307] together [03162]: wherefore that place [04725] was called [07121] Helkathhazzurim [02521], which is in Gibeon [01391]. 10 2 17 And there was a very [03966] sore [07186] battle [04421] that day [03117]; and Abner [074] was beaten [05062], and the men [0582] of Israel [03478], before [06440] the servants [05650] of David [01732]. 10 2 18 And there were three [07969] sons [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] there, Joab [03097], and Abishai [052], and Asahel [06214]: and Asahel [06214] was as light [07031] of foot [07272] as a [0259] wild [07704] roe [06643]. 10 2 19 And Asahel [06214] pursued [07291] after [0310] Abner [074]; and in going [03212] he turned [05186] not to the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040] from following [0310] Abner [074]. 10 2 20 Then Abner [074] looked [06437] behind [0310] him, and said [0559], Art thou Asahel [06214]? And he answered [0559], I am. 10 2 21 And Abner [074] said [0559] to him, Turn thee aside [05186] to thy right hand [03225] or to thy left [08040], and lay thee hold [0270] on one [0259] of the young men [05288], and take [03947] thee his armour [02488]. But Asahel [06214] would [014] not turn aside [05493] from following [0310] of him. 10 2 22 And Abner [074] said [0559] again [03254] to Asahel [06214], Turn thee aside [05493] from following [0310] me: wherefore should I smite [05221] thee to the ground [0776]? how then should I hold up [05375] my face [06440] to Joab [03097] thy brother [0251]? 10 2 23 Howbeit he refused [03985] to turn aside [05493]: wherefore Abner [074] with the hinder end [0310] of the spear [02595] smote [05221] him under [0413] the fifth [02570] rib, that the spear [02595] came out [03318] behind [0310] him; and he fell down [05307] there, and died [04191] in the same place [08478]: and it came to pass, that as many as came [0935] to the place [04725] where Asahel [06214] fell down [05307] and died [04191] stood still [05975]. 10 2 24 Joab [03097] also and Abishai [052] pursued [07291] after [0310] Abner [074]: and the sun [08121] went down [0935] when they were come [0935] to the hill [01389] of Ammah [0522], that lieth before [06440] Giah [01520] by the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057] of Gibeon [01391]. 10 2 25 And the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] gathered themselves together [06908] after [0310] Abner [074], and became one [0259] troop [092], and stood [05975] on the top [07218] of an hill [01389]. 10 2 26 Then Abner [074] called [07121] to Joab [03097], and said [0559], Shall the sword [02719] devour [0398] for ever [05331]? knowest [03045] thou not that it will be bitterness [04751] in the latter end [0314]? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid [0559] the people [05971] return [07725] from following [0310] their brethren [0251]? 10 2 27 And Joab [03097] said [0559], As God [0430] liveth [02416], unless [03884] thou hadst spoken [01696], surely then in the morning [01242] the people [05971] had gone up [05927] every one [0376] from following [0310] his brother [0251]. 10 2 28 So Joab [03097] blew [08628] a trumpet [07782], and all the people [05971] stood still [05975], and pursued [07291] after [0310] Israel [03478] no more, neither fought [03898] they any more [03254]. 10 2 29 And Abner [074] and his men [0582] walked [01980] all that night [03915] through the plain [06160], and passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], and went through [03212] all Bithron [01338], and they came [0935] to Mahanaim [04266]. 10 2 30 And Joab [03097] returned [07725] from following [0310] Abner [074]: and when he had gathered [06908] all the people [05971] together [06908], there lacked [06485] of David's [01732] servants [05650] nineteen [08672] [06240] men [0376] and Asahel [06214]. 10 2 31 But the servants [05650] of David [01732] had smitten [05221] of Benjamin [01144], and of Abner's [074] men [0582], so that three [07969] hundred [03967] and threescore [08346] men [0376] died [04191]. 10 2 32 And they took up [05375] Asahel [06214], and buried [06912] him in the sepulchre [06913] of his father [01], which was in Bethlehem [01035]. And Joab [03097] and his men [0582] went [03212] all night [03915], and they came to Hebron [02275] at break of day [0215]. 10 3 1 Now there was long [0752] war [04421] between the house [01004] of Saul [07586] and the house [01004] of David [01732]: but David [01732] waxed [01980] stronger [02390] and stronger [02390], and the house [01004] of Saul [07586] waxed [01980] weaker [01800] and weaker [01800]. 10 3 2 And unto David [01732] were sons [01121] born [03205] [03205] in Hebron [02275]: and his firstborn [01060] was Amnon [0550], of Ahinoam [0293] the Jezreelitess [03159]; 10 3 3 And his second [04932], Chileab [03609], of Abigail [026] the wife [0802] of Nabal [05037] the Carmelite [03761]; and the third [07992], Absalom [053] the son [01121] of Maacah [04601] the daughter [01323] of Talmai [08526] king [04428] of Geshur [01650]; 10 3 4 And the fourth [07243], Adonijah [0138] the son [01121] of Haggith [02294]; and the fifth [02549], Shephatiah [08203] the son [01121] of Abital [037]; 10 3 5 And the sixth [08345], Ithream [03507], by Eglah [05698] David's [01732] wife [0802]. These were born [03205] to David [01732] in Hebron [02275]. 10 3 6 And it came to pass, while there was war [04421] between the house [01004] of Saul [07586] and the house [01004] of David [01732], that Abner [074] made himself strong [02388] for the house [01004] of Saul [07586]. 10 3 7 And Saul [07586] had a concubine [06370], whose name [08034] was Rizpah [07532], the daughter [01323] of Aiah [0345]: and Ishbosheth said [0559] to Abner [074], Wherefore hast thou gone in [0935] unto my father's [01] concubine [06370]? 10 3 8 Then was Abner [074] very [03966] wroth [02734] for the words [01697] of Ishbosheth [0378], and said [0559], Am I a dog's [03611] head [07218], which against Judah [03063] do shew [06213] kindness [02617] this day [03117] unto the house [01004] of Saul [07586] thy father [01], to his brethren [0251], and to his friends [04828], and have not delivered [04672] thee into the hand [03027] of David [01732], that thou chargest [06485] me to day [03117] with a fault [05771] concerning this woman [0802]? 10 3 9 So do [06213] God [0430] to Abner [074], and more also [03254], except, as the LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] to David [01732], even so I do [06213] to him; 10 3 10 To translate [05674] the kingdom [04467] from the house [01004] of Saul [07586], and to set up [06965] the throne [03678] of David [01732] over Israel [03478] and over Judah [03063], from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884]. 10 3 11 And he could [03201] not answer [07725] Abner [074] a word [01697] again, because he feared [03372] him. 10 3 12 And Abner [074] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to David [01732] on his behalf, saying [0559], Whose is the land [0776]? saying [0559] also, Make [03772] thy league [01285] with me, and, behold, my hand [03027] shall be with thee, to bring about [05437] all Israel [03478] unto thee. 10 3 13 And he said [0559], Well [02896]; I will make [03772] a league [01285] with thee: but one [0259] thing [01697] I require [07592] of thee, that is [0559], Thou shalt not see [07200] my face [06440], except thou first [06440] bring [0935] Michal [04324] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323], when thou comest [0935] to see [07200] my face [06440]. 10 3 14 And David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Ishbosheth [0378] Saul's [07586] son [01121], saying [0559], Deliver [05414] me my wife [0802] Michal [04324], which I espoused [0781] to me for an hundred [03967] foreskins [06190] of the Philistines [06430]. 10 3 15 And Ishbosheth [0378] sent [07971], and took [03947] her from her husband [0376], even from Phaltiel [06409] the son [01121] of Laish [03889] [03919]. 10 3 16 And her husband [0376] went [03212] with her along weeping [01980] [01058] behind [0310] her to Bahurim [0980]. Then said [0559] Abner [074] unto him, Go [03212], return [07725]. And he returned [07725]. 10 3 17 And Abner [074] had communication [01961] [01697] with the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Ye sought [01245] for David [01732] in times [08543] past [08032] to be king [04428] over you: 10 3 18 Now then do [06213] it: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [0559] of David [01732], saying [0559], By the hand [03027] of my servant [05650] David [01732] I will save [03467] my people [05971] Israel [03478] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430], and out of the hand [03027] of all their enemies [0341]. 10 3 19 And Abner [074] also spake [01696] in the ears [0241] of Benjamin [01144]: and Abner [074] went [03212] also to speak [01696] in the ears [0241] of David [01732] in Hebron [02275] all that seemed [05869] good [02896] to Israel [03478], and that seemed good [05869] to the whole house [01004] of Benjamin [01144]. 10 3 20 So Abner [074] came [0935] to David [01732] to Hebron [02275], and twenty [06242] men [0582] with him. And David [01732] made [06213] Abner [074] and the men [0582] that were with him a feast [04960]. 10 3 21 And Abner [074] said [0559] unto David [01732], I will arise [06965] and go [03212], and will gather [06908] all Israel [03478] unto my lord [0113] the king [04428], that they may make [03772] a league [01285] with thee, and that thou mayest reign [04427] over all that thine heart [05315] desireth [0183]. And David [01732] sent [07971] Abner [074] away [07971]; and he went [03212] in peace [07965]. 10 3 22 And, behold, the servants [05650] of David [01732] and Joab [03097] came [0935] from pursuing a troop [01416], and brought in [0935] a great [07227] spoil [07998] with them: but Abner [074] was not with David [01732] in Hebron [02275]; for he had sent him away [07971], and he was gone [03212] in peace [07965]. 10 3 23 When Joab [03097] and all the host [06635] that was with him were come [0935], they told [05046] Joab [03097], saying [0559], Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369] came [0935] to the king [04428], and he hath sent him away [07971], and he is gone [03212] in peace [07965]. 10 3 24 Then Joab [03097] came [0935] to the king [04428], and said [0559], What hast thou done [06213]? behold, Abner [074] came [0935] unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away [07971], and he is quite [01980] gone [03212]? 10 3 25 Thou knowest [03045] Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], that he came [0935] to deceive [06601] thee, and to know [03045] thy going out [04161] and thy coming in [04126] [03996], and to know [03045] all that thou doest [06213]. 10 3 26 And when Joab [03097] was come out [03318] from David [01732], he sent [07971] messengers [04397] after [0310] Abner [074], which brought him again [07725] from the well [0953] of Sirah [05626]: but David [01732] knew [03045] it not. 10 3 27 And when Abner [074] was returned [07725] to Hebron [02275], Joab [03097] took him aside [05186] in [0413] [08432] the gate [08179] to speak [01696] with him quietly [07987], and smote [05221] him there under the fifth [02570] rib, that he died [04191], for the blood [01818] of Asahel [06214] his brother [0251]. 10 3 28 And afterward [0310] when David [01732] heard [08085] it, he said [0559], I and my kingdom [04467] are guiltless [05355] before the LORD [03068] for [05704] ever [05769] from the blood [01818] of Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369]: 10 3 29 Let it rest [02342] on the head [07218] of Joab [03097], and on all his father's [01] house [01004]; and let there not fail [03772] from the house [01004] of Joab [03097] one that hath an issue [02100], or that is a leper [06879], or that leaneth [02388] on a staff [06418], or that falleth [05307] on the sword [02719], or that lacketh [02638] bread [03899]. 10 3 30 So Joab [03097] and Abishai [052] his brother [0251] slew [02026] Abner [074], because he had slain [04191] their brother [0251] Asahel [06214] at Gibeon [01391] in the battle [04421]. 10 3 31 And David [01732] said [0559] to Joab [03097], and to all the people [05971] that were with him, Rend [07167] your clothes [0899], and gird [02296] you with sackcloth [08242], and mourn [05594] before [06440] Abner [074]. And king [04428] David [01732] himself followed [01980] [0310] the bier [04296]. 10 3 32 And they buried [06912] Abner [074] in Hebron [02275]: and the king [04428] lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058] at the grave [06913] of Abner [074]; and all the people [05971] wept [01058]. 10 3 33 And the king [04428] lamented [06969] over Abner [074], and said [0559], Died [04191] Abner [074] as a fool [05036] dieth [04194]? 10 3 34 Thy hands [03027] were not bound [0631], nor thy feet [07272] put [05066] into fetters [05178]: as a man falleth [05307] before [06440] wicked [05766] men [01121], so fellest [05307] thou. And all the people [05971] wept [01058] again [03254] over him. 10 3 35 And when all [03605] the people [05971] came [0935] to cause [01262] David [01732] to eat [01262] meat [03899] while it was yet [05750] day [03117], David [01732] sware [07650], saying [0559], So do [06213] God [0430] to me, and more also [03254], if I taste [02938] bread [03899], or ought [03972] else, till [06440] the sun [08121] be down [0935]. 10 3 36 And all the people [05971] took notice [05234] of it, and it pleased [03190] [05869] them: as whatsoever the king [04428] did [06213] pleased [05869] [02896] all the people [05971]. 10 3 37 For all the people [05971] and all Israel [03478] understood [03045] that day [03117] that it was not of the king [04428] to slay [04191] Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369]. 10 3 38 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Know [03045] ye not that there is a prince [08269] and a great man [01419] fallen [05307] this day [03117] in Israel [03478]? 10 3 39 And I am this day [03117] weak [07390], though anointed [04886] king [04428]; and these men [0582] the sons [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] be too hard [07186] for me: the LORD [03068] shall reward [07999] the doer of evil [06213] according to his wickedness [07451]. 10 4 1 And when Saul's [07586] son [01121] heard [08085] that Abner [074] was dead [04191] in Hebron [02275], his hands [03027] were feeble [07503], and all the Israelites [03478] were troubled [0926]. 10 4 2 And Saul's [07586] son [01121] had [01961] two [08147] men [0582] that were captains [08269] of bands [01416]: the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Baanah [01196], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Rechab [07394], the sons [01121] of Rimmon [07417] a Beerothite [0886], of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144]: (for Beeroth [0881] also was reckoned [02803] to Benjamin [01144]: 10 4 3 And the Beerothites [0886] fled [01272] to Gittaim [01664], and were sojourners [01481] there until this day [03117].) 10 4 4 And Jonathan [03083], Saul's [07586] son [01121], had a son [01121] that was lame [05223] of his feet [07272]. He was five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when the tidings [08052] came [0935] of Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] out of Jezreel [03157], and his nurse [0539] took him up [05375], and fled [05127]: and it came to pass, as she made haste [02648] to flee [05127], that he fell [05307], and became lame [06452]. And his name [08034] was Mephibosheth [04648]. 10 4 5 And the sons [01121] of Rimmon [07417] the Beerothite [0886], Rechab [07394] and Baanah [01196], went [03212], and came [0935] about the heat [02527] of the day [03117] to the house [01004] of Ishbosheth [0378], who lay [07901] on a bed [04904] at noon [06672]. 10 4 6 And they came thither [0935] into the midst [08432] of the house [01004], as though they would have fetched [03947] wheat [02406]; and they smote [05221] him under the fifth [02570] rib: and Rechab [07394] and Baanah [01196] his brother [0251] escaped [04422]. 10 4 7 For when they came [0935] into the house [01004], he lay [07901] on his bed [04296] in his bedchamber [02315] [04904], and they smote [05221] him, and slew [04191] him, and beheaded [05493] him, and took [03947] his head [07218], and gat them away [03212] through [01870] the plain [06160] all night [03915]. 10 4 8 And they brought [0935] the head [07218] of Ishbosheth [0378] unto David [01732] to Hebron [02275], and said [0559] to the king [04428], Behold the head [07218] of Ishbosheth [0378] the son [01121] of Saul [07586] thine enemy [0341], which sought [01245] thy life [05315]; and the LORD [03068] hath [05414] avenged [05360] my lord [0113] the king [04428] this day [03117] of Saul [07586], and of his seed [02233]. 10 4 9 And David [01732] answered [06030] Rechab [07394] and Baanah [01196] his brother [0251], the sons [01121] of Rimmon [07417] the Beerothite [0886], and said [0559] unto them, As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], who hath redeemed [06299] my soul [05315] out of all adversity [06869], 10 4 10 When one told [05046] me, saying [0559], Behold, Saul [07586] is dead [04191], thinking to have brought [05869] good tidings [01319], I took hold [0270] of him, and slew [02026] him in Ziklag [06860], who thought that I would have given [05414] him a reward for his tidings [01309]: 10 4 11 How much more, when wicked [07563] men [0582] have slain [02026] a righteous [06662] person [0376] in his own house [01004] upon his bed [04904]? shall I not therefore now require [01245] his blood [01818] of your hand [03027], and take you away [01197] from the earth [0776]? 10 4 12 And David [01732] commanded [06680] his young men [05288], and they slew [02026] them, and cut off [07112] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272], and hanged them up [08518] over the pool [01295] in Hebron [02275]. But they took [03947] the head [07218] of Ishbosheth [0378], and buried [06912] it in the sepulchre [06913] of Abner [074] in Hebron [02275]. 10 5 1 Then came [0935] all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to David [01732] unto Hebron [02275], and spake [0559], saying [0559], Behold, we are thy bone [06106] and thy flesh [01320]. 10 5 2 Also in time past [0865] [08032], when Saul [07586] was king [04428] over us, thou wast he that leddest out [03318] and broughtest in [0935] Israel [03478]: and the LORD [03068] said [0559] to thee, Thou shalt feed [07462] my people [05971] Israel [03478], and thou shalt be a captain [05057] over Israel [03478]. 10 5 3 So all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935] to the king [04428] to Hebron [02275]; and king [04428] David [01732] made [03772] a league [01285] with them in Hebron [02275] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and they anointed [04886] David [01732] king [04428] over Israel [03478]. 10 5 4 David [01732] was thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] forty [0705] years [08141]. 10 5 5 In Hebron [02275] he reigned [04427] over Judah [03063] seven [07651] years [08141] and six [08337] months [02320]: and in Jerusalem [03389] he reigned [04427] thirty [07970] and three [07969] years [08141] over all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]. 10 5 6 And the king [04428] and his men [0582] went [03212] to Jerusalem [03389] unto the Jebusites [02983], the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]: which spake [0559] unto David [01732], saying [0559], Except thou take away [05493] the blind [05787] and the lame [06455], thou shalt not come in [0935] hither: thinking [0559], David [01732] cannot come in [0935] hither. 10 5 7 Nevertheless David [01732] took [03920] the strong hold [04686] of Zion [06726]: the same is the city [05892] of David [01732]. 10 5 8 And David [01732] said [0559] on that day [03117], Whosoever getteth up [05060] to the gutter [06794], and smiteth [05221] the Jebusites [02983], and the lame [06455] and the blind [05787], that are hated [08130] of David's [01732] soul [05315], he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said [0559], The blind [05787] and the lame [06455] shall not come [0935] into the house [01004]. 10 5 9 So David [01732] dwelt [03427] in the fort [04686], and called [07121] it the city [05892] of David [01732]. And David [01732] built [01129] round about [05439] from Millo [04407] and inward [01004]. 10 5 10 And David [01732] went [03212] on [01980], and grew great [01419], and the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635] was with him. 10 5 11 And Hiram [02438] king [04428] of Tyre [06865] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to David [01732], and cedar [0730] trees [06086], and carpenters [02796], and masons [07023] [068]: and they built [01129] David [01732] an house [01004]. 10 5 12 And David [01732] perceived [03045] that the LORD [03068] had established [03559] him king [04428] over Israel [03478], and that he had exalted [05375] his kingdom [04467] for his people [05971] Israel's [03478] sake. 10 5 13 And David [01732] took [03947] him more concubines [06370] and wives [0802] out of Jerusalem [03389], after [0310] he was come [0935] from Hebron [02275]: and there were yet sons [01121] and daughters [01323] born [03205] to David [01732]. 10 5 14 And these be the names [08034] of those that were born [03209] unto him in Jerusalem [03389]; Shammua [08051], and Shobab [07727], and Nathan [05416], and Solomon [08010], 10 5 15 Ibhar [02984] also, and Elishua [0474], and Nepheg [05298], and Japhia [03309], 10 5 16 And Elishama [0476], and Eliada [0450], and Eliphalet [0467]. 10 5 17 But when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] that they had anointed [04886] David [01732] king [04428] over Israel [03478], all the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] to seek [01245] David [01732]; and David [01732] heard [08085] of it, and went down [03381] to the hold [04686]. 10 5 18 The Philistines [06430] also came [0935] and spread [05203] themselves in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 10 5 19 And David [01732] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Shall I go up [05927] to the Philistines [06430]? wilt thou deliver [05414] them into mine hand [03027]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto David [01732], Go up [05927]: for I will doubtless [05414] deliver [05414] the Philistines [06430] into thine hand [03027]. 10 5 20 And David [01732] came [0935] to Baalperazim [01188], and David [01732] smote [05221] them there, and said [0559], The LORD [03068] hath broken forth [06555] upon mine enemies [0341] before [06440] me, as the breach [06556] of waters [04325]. Therefore he called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Baalperazim [01188]. 10 5 21 And there they left [05800] their images [06091], and David [01732] and his men [0582] burned [05375] them. 10 5 22 And the Philistines [06430] came up [05927] yet again [03254], and spread [05203] themselves in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 10 5 23 And when David [01732] enquired [07592] of the LORD [03068], he said [0559], Thou shalt not go up [05927]; but fetch a compass [05437] behind [0310] them, and come [0935] upon them over against [04136] the mulberry trees [01057]. 10 5 24 And let it be, when thou hearest [08085] the sound [06963] of a going [06807] in the tops [07218] of the mulberry trees [01057], that then thou shalt bestir [02782] thyself: for then shall the LORD [03068] go out [03318] before [06440] thee, to smite [05221] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430]. 10 5 25 And David [01732] did so [06213], as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] him; and smote [05221] the Philistines [06430] from Geba [01387] until thou come [0935] to Gazer [01507]. 10 6 1 Again, David [01732] gathered together [0622] [03254] all the chosen [0977] men of Israel [03478], thirty [07970] thousand [0505]. 10 6 2 And David [01732] arose [06965], and went [03212] with all the people [05971] that were with him from Baale of Judah [01184], to bring up [05927] from thence the ark [0727] of God [0430], whose name [08034] is called [07121] by the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] that dwelleth [03427] between the cherubims [03742]. 10 6 3 And they set [07392] the ark [0727] of God [0430] upon a new [02319] cart [05699], and brought [05375] it out of the house [01004] of Abinadab [041] that was in Gibeah [01390]: and Uzzah [05798] and Ahio [0283], the sons [01121] of Abinadab [041], drave [05090] the new [02319] cart [05699]. 10 6 4 And they brought [05375] it out of the house [01004] of Abinadab [041] which was at Gibeah [01390], accompanying [05973] the ark [0727] of God [0430]: and Ahio [0283] went [01980] before [06440] the ark [0727]. 10 6 5 And David [01732] and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] played [07832] before [06440] the LORD [03068] on all manner of instruments made of fir [01265] wood [06086], even on harps [03658], and on psalteries [05035], and on timbrels [08596], and on cornets [04517], and on cymbals [06767]. 10 6 6 And when they came [0935] to Nachon's [05225] threshingfloor [01637], Uzzah [05798] put forth [07971] his hand to the ark [0727] of God [0430], and took hold [0270] of it; for the oxen [01241] shook [08058] it. 10 6 7 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Uzzah [05798]; and God [0430] smote [05221] him there for his error [07944]; and there he died [04191] by the ark [0727] of God [0430]. 10 6 8 And David [01732] was displeased [02734], because the LORD [03068] had made [06555] a breach [06556] upon Uzzah [05798]: and he called [07121] the name of the place [04725] Perezuzzah [06560] to this day [03117]. 10 6 9 And David [01732] was afraid [03372] of the LORD [03068] that day [03117], and said [0559], How shall the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] come [0935] to me? 10 6 10 So David [01732] would [014] not remove [05493] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] unto him into the city [05892] of David [01732]: but David [01732] carried it aside [05186] into the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] the Gittite [01663]. 10 6 11 And the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] continued [03427] in the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] the Gittite [01663] three [07969] months [02320]: and the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] Obededom [05654], and all his household [01004]. 10 6 12 And it was told [05046] king [04428] David [01732], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark [0727] of God [0430]. So David [01732] went [03212] and brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of God [0430] from the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] into the city [05892] of David [01732] with gladness [08057]. 10 6 13 And it was so, that when they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] had gone [06805] six [08337] paces [06806], he sacrificed [02076] oxen [07794] and fatlings [04806]. 10 6 14 And David [01732] danced [03769] before [06440] the LORD [03068] with all his might [05797]; and David [01732] was girded [02296] with a linen [0906] ephod [0646]. 10 6 15 So David [01732] and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] with shouting [08643], and with the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782]. 10 6 16 And as the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] into the city [05892] of David [01732], Michal [04324] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323] looked [08259] through a window [02474], and saw [07200] king [04428] David [01732] leaping [06339] and dancing [03769] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and she despised [0959] him in her heart [03820]. 10 6 17 And they brought [0935] in the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and set [03322] it in his place [04725], in the midst [08432] of the tabernacle [0168] that David [01732] had pitched [05186] for it: and David [01732] offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 10 6 18 And as soon as David [01732] had made an end [03615] of offering [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002], he blessed [01288] the people [05971] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 10 6 19 And he dealt [02505] among all the people [05971], even among the whole multitude [01995] of Israel [03478], as well to the women [0802] as men [0376], to every one [0376] a [0259] cake [02471] of bread [03899], and a good piece [0829] of flesh, and a flagon [0809] of wine. So all the people [05971] departed [03212] every one [0376] to his house [01004]. 10 6 20 Then David [01732] returned [07725] to bless [01288] his household [01004]. And Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586] came out [03318] to meet [07125] David [01732], and said [0559], How glorious [03513] was the king [04428] of Israel [03478] to day [03117], who uncovered [01540] himself to day [03117] in the eyes [05869] of the handmaids [0519] of his servants [05650], as one [0259] of the vain fellows [07386] shamelessly [01540] uncovereth [01540] himself! 10 6 21 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Michal [04324], It was before [06440] the LORD [03068], which chose [0977] me before thy father [01], and before all his house [01004], to appoint [06680] me ruler [05057] over the people [05971] of the LORD [03068], over Israel [03478]: therefore will I play [07832] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 10 6 22 And I will yet be more vile [07043] than thus [02063], and will be base [08217] in mine own sight [05869]: and of the maidservants [0519] which thou hast spoken [0559] of, of them shall I be had in honour [03513]. 10 6 23 Therefore Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586] had no child [02056] [03206] unto the day [03117] of her death [04194]. 10 7 1 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] sat [03427] in his house [01004], and the LORD [03068] had given him rest [05117] round about [05439] from all his enemies [0341]; 10 7 2 That the king [04428] said [0559] unto Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], See [07200] now, I dwell [03427] in an house [01004] of cedar [0730], but the ark [0727] of God [0430] dwelleth [03427] within [08432] curtains [03407]. 10 7 3 And Nathan [05416] said [0559] to the king [04428], Go [03212], do [06213] all that is in thine heart [03824]; for the LORD [03068] is with thee. 10 7 4 And it came to pass that night [03915], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Nathan [05416], saying [0559], 10 7 5 Go [03212] and tell [0559] my servant [05650] David [01732], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Shalt thou build [01129] me an house [01004] for me to dwell in [03427]? 10 7 6 Whereas I have not dwelt [03427] in any house [01004] since the time [03117] that I brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714], even to this day [03117], but have walked [01980] in a tent [0168] and in a tabernacle [04908]. 10 7 7 In all the places wherein I have walked [01980] with all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] spake [01696] I a word [01697] with any [0259] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], whom I commanded [06680] to feed [07462] my people [05971] Israel [03478], saying [0559], Why build [01129] ye not me an house [01004] of cedar [0730]? 10 7 8 Now therefore so shalt thou say [0559] unto my servant [05650] David [01732], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I took [03947] thee from the sheepcote [05116], from following [0310] the sheep [06629], to be ruler [05057] over my people [05971], over Israel [03478]: 10 7 9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest [01980], and have cut off [03772] all thine enemies [0341] out of thy sight [06440], and have made [06213] thee a great [01419] name [08034], like unto the name [08034] of the great [01419] men that are in the earth [0776]. 10 7 10 Moreover I will appoint [07760] a place [04725] for my people [05971] Israel [03478], and will plant [05193] them, that they may dwell [07931] in a place of their own, and move [07264] no more; neither shall the children [01121] of wickedness [05766] afflict [06031] them any more [03254], as beforetime [07223], 10 7 11 And as since the time [03117] that I commanded [06680] judges [08199] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478], and have caused thee to rest [05117] from all thine enemies [0341]. Also the LORD [03068] telleth [05046] thee that he will make [06213] thee an house [01004]. 10 7 12 And when thy days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], and thou shalt sleep [07901] with thy fathers [01], I will set up [06965] thy seed [02233] after [0310] thee, which shall proceed [03318] out of thy bowels [04578], and I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04467]. 10 7 13 He shall build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], and I will stablish [03559] the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04467] for [05704] ever [05769]. 10 7 14 I will be his father [01], and he shall be my son [01121]. If he commit iniquity [05753], I will chasten [03198] him with the rod [07626] of men [0582], and with the stripes [05061] of the children [01121] of men [0120]: 10 7 15 But my mercy [02617] shall not depart away [05493] from him, as I took [05493] it from Saul [07586], whom I put away [05493] before [06440] thee. 10 7 16 And thine house [01004] and thy kingdom [04467] shall be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769] before [06440] thee: thy throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] ever [05769]. 10 7 17 According to all these words [01697], and according to all this vision [02384], so did Nathan [05416] speak [01696] unto David [01732]. 10 7 18 Then went [0935] king [04428] David [01732] in, and sat [03427] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and he said [0559], Who am I, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]? and what is my house [01004], that thou hast brought [0935] me hitherto [01988]? 10 7 19 And this was yet a small thing [06994] in thy sight [05869], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; but thou hast spoken [01696] also of thy servant's [05650] house [01004] for a great while to come [07350]. And is this the manner [08452] of man [0120], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]? 10 7 20 And what can [03254] David [01732] say [01696] more [03254] unto thee? for thou, Lord [0136] GOD [03069], knowest [03045] thy servant [05650]. 10 7 21 For thy word's [01697] sake, and according to thine own heart [03820], hast thou done [06213] all these great things [01420], to make thy servant [05650] know [03045] them. 10 7 22 Wherefore thou art great [01431], O LORD [03068] God [0430]: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God [0430] beside [02108] thee, according to all that we have heard [08085] with our ears [0241]. 10 7 23 And what one [0259] nation [01471] in the earth [0776] is like thy people [05971], even like Israel [03478], whom God [0430] went [01980] to redeem [06299] for a people [05971] to himself, and to make [07760] him a name [08034], and to do [06213] for you great things [01420] and terrible [03372], for thy land [0776], before [06440] thy people [05971], which thou redeemedst [06299] to thee from Egypt [04714], from the nations [01471] and their gods [0430]? 10 7 24 For thou hast confirmed [03559] to thyself thy people [05971] Israel [03478] to be a people [05971] unto thee for [05704] ever [05769]: and thou, LORD [03068], art become [01961] their God [0430]. 10 7 25 And now, O LORD [03068] God [0430], the word [01697] that thou hast spoken [01696] concerning thy servant [05650], and concerning his house [01004], establish [06965] it for [05704] ever [05769], and do [06213] as thou hast said [01696]. 10 7 26 And let thy name [08034] be magnified [01431] for [05704] ever [05769], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is the God [0430] over Israel [03478]: and let the house [01004] of thy servant [05650] David [01732] be established [03559] before [06440] thee. 10 7 27 For thou, O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], God [0430] of Israel [03478], hast revealed [01540] [0241] to thy servant [05650], saying [0559], I will build [01129] thee an house [01004]: therefore hath thy servant [05650] found [04672] in his heart [03820] to pray [06419] this prayer [08605] unto thee. 10 7 28 And now, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], thou art that God [0430], and thy words [01697] be true [0571], and thou hast promised [01696] this goodness [02896] unto thy servant [05650]: 10 7 29 Therefore now let it please [02974] thee to bless [01288] the house [01004] of thy servant [05650], that it may continue for ever [05769] before [06440] thee: for thou, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], hast spoken [01696] it: and with thy blessing [01293] let the house [01004] of thy servant [05650] be blessed [01288] for ever [05769]. 10 8 1 And after [0310] this it came to pass, that David [01732] smote [05221] the Philistines [06430], and subdued [03665] them: and David [01732] took [03947] Methegammah [04965] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 10 8 2 And he smote [05221] Moab [04124], and measured [04058] them with a line [02256], casting them down [07901] to the ground [0776]; even with two [08147] lines [02256] measured [04058] he to put to death [04191], and with one full [04393] line [02256] to keep alive [02421]. And so the Moabites [04124] became David's [01732] servants [05650], and brought [05375] gifts [04503]. 10 8 3 David [01732] smote [05221] also Hadadezer [01909], the son [01121] of Rehob [07340], king [04428] of Zobah [06678], as he went [03212] to recover [07725] his border [03027] at the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]. 10 8 4 And David [01732] took [03920] from him a thousand [0505] chariots, and seven [07651] hundred [03967] horsemen [06571], and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] footmen [0376] [07273]: and David [01732] houghed [06131] all the chariot [07393] horses, but reserved [03498] of them for an hundred [03967] chariots [07393]. 10 8 5 And when the Syrians [0758] of Damascus [01834] came [0935] to succour [05826] Hadadezer [01909] king [04428] of Zobah [06678], David [01732] slew [05221] of the Syrians [0758] two [08147] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 10 8 6 Then David [01732] put [07760] garrisons [05333] in Syria [0758] of Damascus [01834]: and the Syrians [0758] became servants [05650] to David [01732], and brought [05375] gifts [04503]. And the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980]. 10 8 7 And David [01732] took [03947] the shields [07982] of gold [02091] that were on the servants [05650] of Hadadezer [01909], and brought [0935] them to Jerusalem [03389]. 10 8 8 And from Betah [0984], and from Berothai [01268], cities [05892] of Hadadezer [01909], king [04428] David [01732] took [03947] exceeding [03966] much [07235] brass [05178]. 10 8 9 When Toi [08583] king [04428] of Hamath [02574] heard [08085] that David [01732] had smitten [05221] all the host [02428] of Hadadezer [01909], 10 8 10 Then Toi [08583] sent [07971] Joram [03141] his son [01121] unto king [04428] David [01732], to salute [07592] [07965] him, and to bless [01288] him, because he had fought [03898] against Hadadezer [01909], and smitten [05221] him: for Hadadezer [01909] had wars [0376] [04421] with Toi [08583]. And Joram brought with him [03027] vessels [03627] of silver [03701], and vessels [03627] of gold [02091], and vessels [03627] of brass [05178]: 10 8 11 Which also king [04428] David [01732] did dedicate [06942] unto the LORD [03068], with the silver [03701] and gold [02091] that he had dedicated [06942] of all nations [01471] which he subdued [03533]; 10 8 12 Of Syria [0758], and of Moab [04124], and of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and of the Philistines [06430], and of Amalek [06002], and of the spoil [07998] of Hadadezer [01909], son [01121] of Rehob [07340], king [04428] of Zobah [06678]. 10 8 13 And David [01732] gat [06213] him a name [08034] when he returned [07725] from smiting [05221] of the Syrians [0758] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417], being eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505] men. 10 8 14 And he put [07760] garrisons [05333] in Edom [0123]; throughout all Edom [0123] put [07760] he garrisons [05333], and all they of Edom [0123] became David's [01732] servants [05650]. And the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980]. 10 8 15 And David [01732] reigned [04427] over all Israel [03478]; and David [01732] executed [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666] unto all his people [05971]. 10 8 16 And Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] was over the host [06635]; and Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Ahilud [0286] was recorder [02142]; 10 8 17 And Zadok [06659] the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], and Ahimelech [0288] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054], were the priests [03548]; and Seraiah [08304] was the scribe [05608]; 10 8 18 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over both the Cherethites [03774] and the Pelethites [06432]; and David's [01732] sons [01121] were chief rulers [03548]. 10 9 1 And David [01732] said [0559], Is there yet [03426] any that is left [03498] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], that I may shew [06213] him kindness [02617] for Jonathan's [03083] sake? 10 9 2 And there was of the house [01004] of Saul [07586] a servant [05650] whose name [08034] was Ziba [06717]. And when they had called [07121] him unto David [01732], the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Art thou Ziba [06717]? And he said [0559], Thy servant [05650] is he. 10 9 3 And the king [04428] said [0559], Is there not [0657] yet any [0376] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], that I may shew [06213] the kindness [02617] of God [0430] unto him? And Ziba [06717] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Jonathan [03083] hath yet a son [01121], which is lame [05223] on his feet [07272]. 10 9 4 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Where [0375] is he? And Ziba [06717] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Behold, he is in the house [01004] of Machir [04353], the son [01121] of Ammiel [05988], in Lodebar [03810]. 10 9 5 Then king [04428] David [01732] sent [07971], and fetched [03947] him out of the house [01004] of Machir [04353], the son [01121] of Ammiel [05988], from Lodebar [03810]. 10 9 6 Now when Mephibosheth [04648], the son [01121] of Jonathan [03083], the son [01121] of Saul [07586], was come [0935] unto David [01732], he fell [05307] on his face [06440], and did reverence [07812]. And David [01732] said [0559], Mephibosheth [04648]. And he answered [0559], Behold thy servant [05650]! 10 9 7 And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, Fear [03372] not: for I will surely [06213] shew [06213] thee kindness [02617] for Jonathan [03083] thy father's [01] sake, and will restore [07725] thee all the land [07704] of Saul [07586] thy father [01]; and thou shalt eat [0398] bread [03899] at my table [07979] continually [08548]. 10 9 8 And he bowed [07812] himself, and said [0559], What is thy servant [05650], that thou shouldest look [06437] upon such a dead [04191] dog [03611] as I am? 10 9 9 Then the king [04428] called [07121] to Ziba [06717], Saul's [07586] servant [05288], and said [0559] unto him, I have given [05414] unto thy master's [0113] son [01121] all that pertained [01961] to Saul [07586] and to all his house [01004]. 10 9 10 Thou therefore, and thy sons [01121], and thy servants [05650], shall till [05647] the land [0127] for him, and thou shalt bring [0935] in the fruits, that thy master's [0113] son [01121] may have food [03899] to eat [0398]: but Mephibosheth [04648] thy master's [0113] son [01121] shall eat [0398] bread [03899] alway [08548] at my table [07979]. Now Ziba [06717] had fifteen [02568] [06240] sons [01121] and twenty [06242] servants [05650]. 10 9 11 Then said [0559] Ziba [06717] unto the king [04428], According to all that my lord [0113] the king [04428] hath commanded [06680] his servant [05650], so shall thy servant [05650] do [06213]. As for Mephibosheth [04648], said the king, he shall eat [0398] at my table [07979], as one [0259] of the king's [04428] sons [01121]. 10 9 12 And Mephibosheth [04648] had a young [06996] son [01121], whose name [08034] was Micha [04316]. And all that dwelt [04186] in the house [01004] of Ziba [06717] were servants [05650] unto Mephibosheth [04648]. 10 9 13 So Mephibosheth [04648] dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389]: for he did eat [0398] continually [08548] at the king's [04428] table [07979]; and was lame [06455] on both [08147] his feet [07272]. 10 10 1 And it came to pass after this [0310], that the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] died [04191], and Hanun [02586] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 10 10 2 Then said [0559] David [01732], I will shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto Hanun [02586] the son [01121] of Nahash [05176], as his father [01] shewed [06213] kindness [02617] unto me. And David [01732] sent [07971] to comfort [05162] him by the hand [03027] of his servants [05650] for his father [01]. And David's [01732] servants [05650] came [0935] into the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 10 10 3 And the princes [08269] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] said [0559] unto Hanun [02586] their lord [0113], Thinkest [05869] thou that David [01732] doth honour [03513] thy father [01], that he hath sent [07971] comforters [05162] unto thee? hath not David [01732] rather sent [07971] his servants [05650] unto thee, to [05668] search [02713] the city [05892], and to spy it out [07270], and to overthrow [02015] it? 10 10 4 Wherefore Hanun [02586] took [03947] David's [01732] servants [05650], and shaved off [01548] the one half [02677] of their beards [02206], and cut off [03772] their garments [04063] in the middle [02677], even to their buttocks [08357], and sent them away [07971]. 10 10 5 When they told [05046] it unto David [01732], he sent [07971] to meet [07125] them, because the men [0582] were greatly [03966] ashamed [03637]: and the king [04428] said [0559], Tarry [03427] at Jericho [03405] until your beards [02206] be grown [06779], and then return [07725]. 10 10 6 And when the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] saw [07200] that they stank [0887] before David [01732], the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] sent [07971] and hired [07936] the Syrians [0758] of Bethrehob [01050], and the Syrians [0758] of Zoba [06678], twenty [06242] thousand [0505] footmen [07273], and of king [04428] Maacah [04601] a thousand [0505] men [0376], and of Ishtob [0382] twelve [06240] [08147] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 10 10 7 And when David [01732] heard [08085] of it, he sent [07971] Joab [03097], and all the host [06635] of the mighty men [01368]. 10 10 8 And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] came out [03318], and put the battle [04421] in array [06186] at the entering in [06607] of the gate [08179]: and the Syrians [0758] of Zoba [06678], and of Rehob [07340], and Ishtob [0382], and Maacah [04601], were by themselves [0905] in the field [07704]. 10 10 9 When Joab [03097] saw [07200] that the front [06440] of the battle [04421] was against him before [06440] and behind [0268], he chose [0977] of all the choice [0977] men of Israel [03478], and put them in array [06186] against [07125] the Syrians [0758]: 10 10 10 And the rest [03499] of the people [05971] he delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of Abishai [052] his brother [0251], that he might put them in array [06186] against [07125] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 10 10 11 And he said [0559], If the Syrians [0758] be too strong [02388] for me, then thou shalt help [03444] me: but if the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] be too strong [02388] for thee, then I will come [01980] and help [03467] thee. 10 10 12 Be of good courage [02388], and let us play the men [02388] for our people [05971], and for the cities [05892] of our God [0430]: and the LORD [03068] do [06213] that which seemeth [05869] him good [02896]. 10 10 13 And Joab [03097] drew nigh [05066], and the people [05971] that were with him, unto the battle [04421] against the Syrians [0758]: and they fled [05127] before [06440] him. 10 10 14 And when the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] saw [07200] that the Syrians [0758] were fled [05127], then fled [05127] they also before [06440] Abishai [052], and entered [0935] into the city [05892]. So Joab [03097] returned [07725] from the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 10 10 15 And when the Syrians [0758] saw [07200] that they were smitten [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478], they gathered [0622] themselves together [03162]. 10 10 16 And Hadarezer [01928] sent [07971], and brought out [03318] the Syrians [0758] that were beyond [05676] the river [05104]: and they came [0935] to Helam [02431]; and Shobach [07731] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] of Hadarezer [01928] went before [06440] them. 10 10 17 And when it was told [05046] David [01732], he gathered [0622] all Israel [03478] together [0622], and passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], and came [0935] to Helam [02431]. And the Syrians [0758] set themselves in array [06186] against [07125] David [01732], and fought [03898] with him. 10 10 18 And the Syrians [0758] fled [05127] before [06440] Israel [03478]; and David [01732] slew [02026] the men of seven [07651] hundred [03967] chariots [07393] of the Syrians [0758], and forty [0705] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571], and smote [05221] Shobach [07731] the captain [08269] of their host [06635], who died [04191] there. 10 10 19 And when all the kings [04428] that were servants [05650] to Hadarezer [01928] saw [07200] that they were smitten [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478], they made peace [07999] with Israel [03478], and served [05647] them. So the Syrians [0758] feared [03372] to help [03467] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] any more. 10 11 1 And it came to pass, after the year [08141] was expired [08666], at the time [06256] when kings [04428] [04397] go forth [03318] to battle, that David [01732] sent [07971] Joab [03097], and his servants [05650] with him, and all Israel [03478]; and they destroyed [07843] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and besieged [06696] Rabbah [07237]. But David [01732] tarried still [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]. 10 11 2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide [06153] [06256], that David [01732] arose [06965] from off his bed [04904], and walked [01980] upon the roof [01406] of the king's [04428] house [01004]: and from the roof [01406] he saw [07200] a woman [0802] washing [07364] herself; and the woman [0802] was very [03966] beautiful [02896] to look upon [04758]. 10 11 3 And David [01732] sent [07971] and enquired [01875] after the woman [0802]. And one said [0559], Is not this Bathsheba [01339], the daughter [01323] of Eliam [0463], the wife [0802] of Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850]? 10 11 4 And David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397], and took [03947] her; and she came in [0935] unto him, and he lay [07901] with her; for she was purified [06942] from her uncleanness [02932]: and she returned [07725] unto her house [01004]. 10 11 5 And the woman [0802] conceived [02029], and sent [07971] and told [05046] David [01732], and said [0559], I am with child [02030]. 10 11 6 And David [01732] sent [07971] to Joab [03097], saying, Send [07971] me Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850]. And Joab [03097] sent [07971] Uriah [0223] to David [01732]. 10 11 7 And when Uriah [0223] was come [0935] unto him, David [01732] demanded [07592] of him how Joab [03097] did [07965], and how the people [05971] did [07965], and how the war [04421] prospered [07965]. 10 11 8 And David [01732] said [0559] to Uriah [0223], Go down [03381] to thy house [01004], and wash [07364] thy feet [07272]. And Uriah [0223] departed out [03318] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and there followed [0310] him a mess [04864] of meat from the king [04428]. 10 11 9 But Uriah [0223] slept [07901] at the door [06607] of the king's [04428] house [01004] with all the servants [05650] of his lord [0113], and went not down [03381] to his house [01004]. 10 11 10 And when they had told [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], Uriah [0223] went not down [03381] unto his house [01004], David [01732] said [0559] unto Uriah [0223], Camest [0935] thou not from thy journey [01870]? why then didst thou not go down [03381] unto thine house [01004]? 10 11 11 And Uriah [0223] said [0559] unto David [01732], The ark [0727], and Israel [03478], and Judah [03063], abide [03427] in tents [05521]; and my lord [0113] Joab [03097], and the servants [05650] of my lord [0113], are encamped [02583] in the open [06440] fields [07704]; shall I [0589] then go [0935] into mine house [01004], to eat [0398] and to drink [08354], and to lie [07901] with my wife [0802]? as thou livest [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not do [06213] this thing [01697]. 10 11 12 And David [01732] said [0559] to Uriah [0223], Tarry [03427] here to day [03117] also, and to morrow [04279] I will let thee depart [07971]. So Uriah [0223] abode [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] that day [03117], and the morrow [04283]. 10 11 13 And when David [01732] had called [07121] him, he did eat [0398] and drink [08354] before [06440] him; and he made him drunk [07937]: and at even [06153] he went out [03318] to lie [07901] on his bed [04904] with the servants [05650] of his lord [0113], but went not down [03381] to his house [01004]. 10 11 14 And it came to pass in the morning [01242], that David [01732] wrote [03789] a letter [05612] to Joab [03097], and sent [07971] it by the hand [03027] of Uriah [0223]. 10 11 15 And he wrote [03789] in the letter [05612], saying [0559], Set [03051] ye Uriah [0223] in the forefront [06440] [04136] of the hottest [02389] battle [04421], and retire [07725] ye from him [0310], that he may be smitten [05221], and die [04191]. 10 11 16 And it came to pass, when Joab [03097] observed [08104] the city [05892], that he assigned [05414] Uriah [0223] unto a place [04725] where he knew [03045] that valiant [02428] men [0582] were. 10 11 17 And the men [0582] of the city [05892] went out [03318], and fought [03898] with Joab [03097]: and there fell [05307] some of the people [05971] of the servants [05650] of David [01732]; and Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850] died [04191] also. 10 11 18 Then Joab [03097] sent [07971] and told [05046] David [01732] all the things [01697] concerning the war [04421]; 10 11 19 And charged [06680] the messenger [04397], saying [0559], When thou hast made an end [03615] of telling [01696] the matters [01697] of the war [04421] unto the king [04428], 10 11 20 And if so be that the king's [04428] wrath [02534] arise [05927], and he say [0559] unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh [05066] unto the city [05892] when ye did fight [03898]? knew [03045] ye not that they would shoot [03384] from the wall [02346]? 10 11 21 Who smote [05221] Abimelech [040] the son [01121] of Jerubbesheth [03380]? did not a woman [0802] cast [07993] a piece [06400] of a millstone [07393] upon him from the wall [02346], that he died [04191] in Thebez [08405]? why went ye nigh [05066] the wall [02346]? then say [0559] thou, Thy servant [05650] Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850] is dead [04191] also. 10 11 22 So the messenger [04397] went [03212], and came [0935] and shewed [05046] David [01732] all that Joab [03097] had sent [07971] him for. 10 11 23 And the messenger [04397] said [0559] unto David [01732], Surely the men [0582] prevailed [01396] against us, and came out [03318] unto us into the field [07704], and we were upon them even unto the entering [06607] of the gate [08179]. 10 11 24 And the shooters [03384] shot [03384] from off the wall [02346] upon thy servants [05650]; and some of the king's [04428] servants [05650] be dead [04191], and thy servant [05650] Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850] is dead [04191] also. 10 11 25 Then David [01732] said [0559] unto the messenger [04397], Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto Joab [03097], Let not this thing [01697] displease [03415] [05869] thee, for the sword [02719] devoureth [0398] one as well as another [02090]: make thy battle [04421] more strong [02388] against the city [05892], and overthrow [02040] it: and encourage [02388] thou him. 10 11 26 And when the wife [0802] of Uriah [0223] heard [08085] that Uriah [0223] her husband [0376] was dead [04191], she mourned [05594] for her husband [01167]. 10 11 27 And when the mourning [060] was past [05674], David [01732] sent [07971] and fetched [0622] her to his house [01004], and she became his wife [0802], and bare [03205] him a son [01121]. But the thing [01697] that David [01732] had done [06213] displeased [03415] [05869] the LORD [03068]. 10 12 1 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] Nathan [05416] unto David [01732]. And he came [0935] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, There were two [08147] men [0582] in one [0259] city [05892]; the one [0259] rich [06223], and the other [0259] poor [07326]. 10 12 2 The rich [06223] man had exceeding [03966] many [07235] flocks [06629] and herds [01241]: 10 12 3 But the poor [07326] man had nothing, save one [0259] little [06996] ewe lamb [03535], which he had bought [07069] and nourished up [02421]: and it grew up [01431] together [03162] with him, and with his children [01121]; it did eat [0398] of his own meat [06595], and drank [08354] of his own cup [03563], and lay [07901] in his bosom [02436], and was unto him as a daughter [01323]. 10 12 4 And there came [0935] a traveller [01982] unto the rich [06223] man [0376], and he spared [02550] to take [03947] of his own flock [06629] and of his own herd [01241], to dress [06213] for the wayfaring man [0732] that was come [0935] unto him; but took [03947] the poor [07326] man's [0376] lamb [03535], and dressed [06213] it for the man [0376] that was come [0935] to him. 10 12 5 And David's [01732] anger [0639] was greatly [03966] kindled [02734] against the man [0376]; and he said [0559] to Nathan [05416], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], the man [0376] that hath done [06213] this thing shall surely [01121] die [04194]: 10 12 6 And he shall restore [07999] the lamb [03535] fourfold [0706], because [06118] he did [06213] this thing [01697], and because [0834] he had no pity [02550]. 10 12 7 And Nathan [05416] said [0559] to David [01732], Thou art the man [0376]. Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I anointed [04886] thee king [04428] over Israel [03478], and I delivered [05337] thee out of the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]; 10 12 8 And I gave [05414] thee thy master's [0113] house [01004], and thy master's [0113] wives [0802] into thy bosom [02436], and gave [05414] thee the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and of Judah [03063]; and if that had been too little [04592], I would moreover have given [03254] unto thee such [02007] and such things [02007]. 10 12 9 Wherefore hast thou despised [0959] the commandment [01697] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] evil [07451] in his sight [05869]? thou hast killed [05221] Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850] with the sword [02719], and hast taken [03947] his wife [0802] to be thy wife [0802], and hast slain [02026] him with the sword [02719] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 10 12 10 Now therefore the sword [02719] shall never [05704] [05769] depart [05493] from thine house [01004]; because [06118] thou hast despised [0959] me, and hast taken [03947] the wife [0802] of Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850] to be thy wife [0802]. 10 12 11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will raise up [06965] evil [07451] against thee out of thine own house [01004], and I will take [03947] thy wives [0802] before thine eyes [05869], and give [05414] them unto thy neighbour [07453], and he shall lie [07901] with thy wives [0802] in the sight [05869] of this sun [08121]. 10 12 12 For thou didst [06213] it secretly [05643]: but I will do [06213] this thing [01697] before all Israel [03478], and before the sun [08121]. 10 12 13 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Nathan [05416], I have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]. And Nathan [05416] said [0559] unto David [01732], The LORD [03068] also hath put away [05674] thy sin [02403]; thou shalt not die [04191]. 10 12 14 Howbeit [0657], because by this deed [01697] thou hast given [05006] great occasion [05006] to the enemies [0341] of the LORD [03068] to blaspheme [05006], the child [01121] also that is born [03209] unto thee shall surely [04191] die [04191]. 10 12 15 And Nathan [05416] departed [03212] unto his house [01004]. And the LORD [03068] struck [05062] the child [03206] that Uriah's [0223] wife [0802] bare [03205] unto David [01732], and it was very sick [0605]. 10 12 16 David [01732] therefore besought [01245] God [0430] for the child [05288]; and David [01732] fasted [06684] [06685], and went in [0935], and lay [07901] all night [03885] upon the earth [0776]. 10 12 17 And the elders [02205] of his house [01004] arose [06965], and went to him, to raise him up [06965] from the earth [0776]: but he would [014] not, neither did he eat [01262] bread [03899] with them. 10 12 18 And it came to pass on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that the child [03206] died [04191]. And the servants [05650] of David [01732] feared [03372] to tell [05046] him that the child [03206] was dead [04191]: for they said [0559], Behold, while the child [03206] was yet alive [02416], we spake [01696] unto him, and he would not hearken [08085] unto our voice [06963]: how will he then [06213] vex [07451] himself [06213], if we tell [0559] him that the child [03206] is dead [04191]? 10 12 19 But when David [01732] saw [07200] that his servants [05650] whispered [03907], David [01732] perceived [0995] that the child [03206] was dead [04191]: therefore David [01732] said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Is the child [03206] dead [04191]? And they said [0559], He is dead [04191]. 10 12 20 Then David [01732] arose [06965] from the earth [0776], and washed [07364], and anointed [05480] himself, and changed [02498] his apparel [08071], and came [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and worshipped [07812]: then he came [0935] to his own house [01004]; and when he required [07592], they set [07760] bread [03899] before him, and he did eat [0398]. 10 12 21 Then said [0559] his servants [05650] unto him, What thing [01697] is this that thou hast done [06213]? thou didst fast [06684] and weep [01058] for the child [03206], while it was alive [02416]; but when the child [03206] was dead [04191], thou didst rise [06965] and eat [0398] bread [03899]. 10 12 22 And he said [0559], While the child [03206] was yet alive [02416], I fasted [06684] and wept [01058]: for I said [0559], Who can tell [03045] whether GOD [03068] will be gracious [02603] [02603] to me, that the child [03206] may live [02416]? 10 12 23 But now he is dead [04191], wherefore should I fast [06684]? can [03201] I bring him back again [07725]? I shall go [01980] to him, but he shall not return [07725] to me. 10 12 24 And David [01732] comforted [05162] Bathsheba [01339] his wife [0802], and went in [0935] unto her, and lay [07901] with her: and she bare [03205] a son [01121], and he called [07121] his name [08034] Solomon [08010]: and the LORD [03068] loved [0157] him. 10 12 25 And he sent [07971] by the hand [03027] of Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030]; and he called [07121] his name [08034] Jedidiah [03041], because of the LORD [03068]. 10 12 26 And Joab [03097] fought [03898] against Rabbah [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and took [03920] the royal [04410] city [05892]. 10 12 27 And Joab [03097] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to David [01732], and said [0559], I have fought [03898] against Rabbah [07237], and have taken [03920] the city [05892] of waters [04325]. 10 12 28 Now therefore gather [0622] the rest [03499] of the people [05971] together [0622], and encamp [02583] against the city [05892], and take [03920] it: lest I take [03920] the city [05892], and it be called [07121] after my name [08034]. 10 12 29 And David [01732] gathered [0622] all the people [05971] together [0622], and went [03212] to Rabbah [07237], and fought [03898] against it, and took [03920] it. 10 12 30 And he took [03947] their king's [04428] crown [05850] from off his head [07218], the weight [04948] whereof was a talent [03603] of gold [02091] with the precious [03368] stones [068]: and it was set on David's [01732] head [07218]. And he brought forth [03318] the spoil [07998] of the city [05892] in great [03966] abundance [07235]. 10 12 31 And he brought forth [03318] the people [05971] that were therein, and put [07760] them under saws [04050], and under harrows [02757] of iron [01270], and under axes [04037] of iron [01270], and made them pass [05674] through the brickkiln [04404]: and thus did [06213] he unto all the cities [05892] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. So David [01732] and all the people [05971] returned [07725] unto Jerusalem [03389]. 10 13 1 And it came to pass after [0310] this, that Absalom [053] the son [01121] of David [01732] had a fair [03303] sister [0269], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559]; and Amnon [0550] the son [01121] of David [01732] loved [0157] her. 10 13 2 And Amnon [0550] was so vexed [03334], that he fell sick [02470] for his sister [0269] Tamar [08559]; for she was a virgin [01330]; and Amnon [0550] thought [05869] it hard [06381] for him to do [06213] any thing [03972] to her. 10 13 3 But Amnon [0550] had a friend [07453], whose name [08034] was Jonadab [03122], the son [01121] of Shimeah [08093] David's [01732] brother [0251]: and Jonadab [03122] was a very [03966] subtil [02450] man [0376]. 10 13 4 And he said [0559] unto him, Why art thou, being the king's [04428] son [01121], lean [01800] from day [01242] to day [01242]? wilt thou not tell [05046] me? And Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto him, I love [0157] Tamar [08559], my brother [0251] Absalom's [053] sister [0269]. 10 13 5 And Jonadab [03082] said [0559] unto him, Lay thee down [07901] on thy bed [04904], and make thyself sick [02470]: and when thy father [01] cometh [0935] to see [07200] thee, say [0559] unto him, I pray thee, let my sister [0269] Tamar [08559] come [0935], and give [01262] me meat [03899], and dress [06213] the meat [01279] in my sight [05869], that I may see [07200] it, and eat [0398] it at her hand [03027]. 10 13 6 So Amnon [0550] lay down [07901], and made himself sick [02470]: and when the king [04428] was come [0935] to see [07200] him, Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto the king [04428], I pray thee, let Tamar [08559] my sister [0269] come [0935], and make [03823] me a couple [08147] of cakes [03834] in my sight [05869], that I may eat [01262] at her hand [03027]. 10 13 7 Then David [01732] sent [07971] home [01004] to Tamar [08559], saying [0559], Go [03212] now to thy brother [0251] Amnon's [0550] house [01004], and dress [06213] him meat [01279]. 10 13 8 So Tamar [08559] went [03212] to her brother [0251] Amnon's [0550] house [01004]; and he was laid down [07901]. And she took [03947] flour [01217], and kneaded [03888] it, and made cakes [03823] in his sight [05869], and did bake [01310] the cakes [03834]. 10 13 9 And she took [03947] a pan [04958], and poured them out [03332] before [06440] him; but he refused [03985] to eat [0398]. And Amnon [0550] said [0559], Have out [03318] all men [0376] from me. And they went out [03318] every man [0376] from him. 10 13 10 And Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto Tamar [08559], Bring [0935] the meat [01279] into the chamber [02315], that I may eat [01262] of thine hand [03027]. And Tamar [08559] took [03947] the cakes [03834] which she had made [06213], and brought [0935] them into the chamber [02315] to Amnon [0550] her brother [0251]. 10 13 11 And when she had brought [05066] them unto him to eat [0398], he took hold [02388] of her, and said [0559] unto her, Come [0935] lie [07901] with me, my sister [0269]. 10 13 12 And she answered [0559] him, Nay, my brother [0251], do not force [06031] me; for no such thing ought [03651] to be done [06213] in Israel [03478]: do [06213] not thou this folly [05039]. 10 13 13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame [02781] to go [03212]? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one [0259] of the fools [05036] in Israel [03478]. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak [01696] unto the king [04428]; for he will not withhold [04513] me from thee. 10 13 14 Howbeit he would [014] not hearken [08085] unto her voice [06963]: but, being stronger [02388] than she, forced [06031] her, and lay [07901] with her. 10 13 15 Then Amnon [0550] hated [08130] her exceedingly [03966] [01419]; so that the hatred [08135] wherewith he hated [08130] her was greater [01419] than the love [0160] wherewith he had loved [0157] her. And Amnon [0550] said [0559] unto her, Arise [06965], be gone [03212]. 10 13 16 And she said [0559] unto him, There is no cause [0182]: this evil [07451] in sending me away [07971] is greater [01419] than the other [0312] that thou didst [06213] unto me. But he would [014] not hearken [08085] unto her. 10 13 17 Then he called [07121] his servant [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, and said [0559], Put [07971] now this woman out [02351] from me, and bolt [05274] the door [01817] after [0310] her. 10 13 18 And she had a garment [03801] of divers colours [06446] upon her: for with such robes [04598] were the king's [04428] daughters [01323] that were virgins [01330] apparelled [03847]. Then his servant [08334] brought [03318] her out [02351], and bolted [05274] the door [01817] after [0310] her. 10 13 19 And Tamar [08559] put [03947] ashes [0665] on her head [07218], and rent [07167] her garment [03801] of divers colours [06446] that was on her, and laid [07760] her hand [03027] on her head [07218], and went [03212] on [01980] crying [02199]. 10 13 20 And Absalom [053] her brother [0251] said [0559] unto her, Hath Amnon [0550] thy brother [0251] been with thee? but hold now thy peace [02790], my sister [0269]: he is thy brother [0251]; regard [07896] [03820] not this thing [01697]. So Tamar [08559] remained [03427] desolate [08074] in her brother [0251] Absalom's [053] house [01004]. 10 13 21 But when king [04428] David [01732] heard [08085] of all these things [01697], he was very [03966] wroth [02734]. 10 13 22 And Absalom [053] spake [01696] unto his brother Amnon [0550] neither good [02896] nor bad [07451]: for Absalom [053] hated [08130] Amnon [0550], because [01697] he had forced [06031] his sister [0269] Tamar [08559]. 10 13 23 And it came to pass after two full [03117] years [08141], that Absalom [053] had sheepshearers [01494] in Baalhazor [01178], which is beside Ephraim [0669]: and Absalom [053] invited [07121] all the king's [04428] sons [01121]. 10 13 24 And Absalom [053] came [0935] to the king [04428], and said [0559], Behold now, thy servant [05650] hath sheepshearers [01494]; let [03212] the king [04428], I beseech thee, and his servants [05650] go [03212] with thy servant [05650]. 10 13 25 And the king [04428] said [0559] to Absalom [053], Nay, my son [01121], let us not all now go [03212], lest we be chargeable [03513] unto thee. And he pressed [06555] him: howbeit he would [014] not go [03212], but blessed [01288] him. 10 13 26 Then said [0559] Absalom [053], If not, I pray thee, let my brother [0251] Amnon [0550] go [03212] with us. And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Why should he go [03212] with thee? 10 13 27 But Absalom [053] pressed [06555] him, that he let Amnon [0550] and all the king's [04428] sons [01121] go [07971] with him. 10 13 28 Now Absalom [053] had commanded [06680] his servants [05288], saying [0559], Mark [07200] ye now when Amnon's [0550] heart [03820] is merry [02896] with wine [03196], and when I say [0559] unto you, Smite [05221] Amnon [0550]; then kill [04191] him, fear [03372] not: have not I commanded [06680] you? be courageous [02388], and be valiant [01121] [02428]. 10 13 29 And the servants [05288] of Absalom [053] did [06213] unto Amnon [0550] as Absalom [053] had commanded [06680]. Then all the king's [04428] sons [01121] arose [06965], and every man [0376] gat him up [07392] upon his mule [06505], and fled [05127]. 10 13 30 And it came to pass, while they were in the way [01870], that tidings [08052] came [0935] to David [01732], saying [0559], Absalom [053] hath slain [05221] all the king's [04428] sons [01121], and there is not one [0259] of them left [03498]. 10 13 31 Then the king [04428] arose [06965], and tare [07167] his garments [0899], and lay [07901] on the earth [0776]; and all his servants [05650] stood [05324] by with their clothes [0899] rent [07167]. 10 13 32 And Jonadab [03122], the son [01121] of Shimeah [08093] David's [01732] brother [0251], answered [06030] and said [0559], Let not my lord [0113] suppose [0559] that they have slain [04191] all the young men [05288] the king's [04428] sons [01121]; for Amnon [0550] only is dead [04191]: for by the appointment [06310] of Absalom [053] this hath been determined [07760] from the day [03117] that he forced [06031] his sister [0269] Tamar [08559]. 10 13 33 Now therefore let not my lord [0113] the king [04428] take [07760] the thing [01697] to his heart [03820], to think [0559] that all the king's [04428] sons [01121] are dead [04191]: for Amnon [0550] only is dead [04191]. 10 13 34 But Absalom [053] fled [01272]. And the young man [05288] that kept the watch [06822] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, there came [01980] much [07227] people [05971] by the way [01870] of the hill [02022] side [06654] behind [0310] him. 10 13 35 And Jonadab [03122] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Behold, the king's [04428] sons [01121] come [0935]: as thy servant [05650] said [01697], so it is. 10 13 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696], that, behold, the king's [04428] sons [01121] came [0935], and lifted up [05375] their voice [06963] and wept [01058]: and the king [04428] also and all his servants [05650] wept [01058] very [03966] sore [01065] [01419]. 10 13 37 But Absalom [053] fled [01272], and went [03212] to Talmai [08526], the son [01121] of Ammihud [05991] [05989], king [04428] of Geshur [01650]. And David mourned [056] for his son [01121] every day [03117]. 10 13 38 So Absalom [053] fled [01272], and went [03212] to Geshur [01650], and was there three [07969] years [08141]. 10 13 39 And the soul of king [04428] David [01732] longed [03615] to go forth [03318] unto Absalom [053]: for he was comforted [05162] concerning Amnon [0550], seeing he was dead [04191]. 10 14 1 Now Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] perceived [03045] that the king's [04428] heart [03820] was toward Absalom [053]. 10 14 2 And Joab [03097] sent [07971] to Tekoah [08620], and fetched [03947] thence a wise [02450] woman [0802], and said [0559] unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner [056], and put on [03847] now mourning [060] apparel [0899], and anoint [05480] not thyself with oil [08081], but be as a woman [0802] that had a long [07227] time [03117] mourned [056] for the dead [04191]: 10 14 3 And come [0935] to the king [04428], and speak [01696] on this manner [01697] unto him. So Joab [03097] put [07760] the words [01697] in her mouth [06310]. 10 14 4 And when the woman [0802] of Tekoah [08621] spake [0559] to the king [04428], she fell [05307] on her face [0639] to the ground [0776], and did obeisance [07812], and said [0559], Help [03467], O king [04428]. 10 14 5 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered [0559], I am indeed [061] a widow [0490] woman [0802], and mine husband [0376] is dead [04191]. 10 14 6 And thy handmaid [08198] had two [08147] sons [01121], and they two [08147] strove together [05327] in the field [07704], and there was none to part [05337] them, but the one [0259] smote [05221] the other [0259], and slew [04191] him. 10 14 7 And, behold, the whole family [04940] is risen [06965] against thine handmaid [08198], and they said [0559], Deliver [05414] him that smote [05221] his brother [0251], that we may kill [04191] him, for the life [05315] of his brother [0251] whom he slew [02026]; and we will destroy [08045] the heir [03423] also: and so they shall quench [03518] my coal [01513] which is left [07760], and shall not leave [07604] to my husband [0376] neither name [08034] nor remainder [07611] upon [06440] the earth [0127]. 10 14 8 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Go [03212] to thine house [01004], and I will give charge [06680] concerning thee. 10 14 9 And the woman [0802] of Tekoah [08621] said [0559] unto the king [04428], My lord [0113], O king [04428], the iniquity [05771] be on me, and on my father's [01] house [01004]: and the king [04428] and his throne [03678] be guiltless [05355]. 10 14 10 And the king [04428] said [0559], Whosoever saith [01696] ought unto thee, bring [0935] him to me, and he shall not touch [05060] thee any more [03254]. 10 14 11 Then said [0559] she, I pray thee, let the king [04428] remember [02142] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers [01350] of blood [01818] to destroy [07843] any more [07235], lest they destroy [08045] my son [01121]. And he said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], there shall not one hair [08185] of thy son [01121] fall [05307] to the earth [0776]. 10 14 12 Then the woman [0802] said [0559], Let thine handmaid [08198], I pray thee, speak [01696] one word [01697] unto my lord [0113] the king [04428]. And he said [0559], Say on [01696]. 10 14 13 And the woman [0802] said [0559], Wherefore then hast thou thought [02803] such a thing against the people [05971] of God [0430]? for the king [04428] doth speak [01696] this thing [01697] as one which is faulty [0818], in that the king [04428] doth not fetch home again [07725] his banished [05080]. 10 14 14 For we must needs [04191] die [04191], and are as water [04325] spilt [05064] on the ground [0776], which cannot be gathered up again [0622]; neither doth God [0430] respect [05375] any person [05315]: yet doth he devise [02803] means [04284], that his banished [05080] be not expelled [05080] from him. 10 14 15 Now therefore that I am come [0935] to speak [01696] of this thing [01697] unto my lord [0113] the king [04428], it is because the people [05971] have made me afraid [03372]: and thy handmaid [08198] said [0559], I will now speak [01696] unto the king [04428]; it may be that the king [04428] will perform [06213] the request [01697] of his handmaid [0519]. 10 14 16 For the king [04428] will hear [08085], to deliver [05337] his handmaid [0519] out of the hand [03709] of the man [0376] that would destroy [08045] me and my son [01121] together [03162] out of the inheritance [05159] of God [0430]. 10 14 17 Then thine handmaid [08198] said [0559], The word [01697] of my lord [0113] the king [04428] shall now be comfortable [04496]: for as an angel [04397] of God [0430], so is my lord [0113] the king [04428] to discern [08085] good [02896] and bad [07451]: therefore the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will be with thee. 10 14 18 Then the king [04428] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Hide [03582] not from me, I pray thee, the thing [01697] that I shall ask [07592] thee. And the woman [0802] said [0559], Let my lord [0113] the king [04428] now speak [01696]. 10 14 19 And the king [04428] said [0559], Is not the hand [03027] of Joab [03097] with thee in all this? And the woman [0802] answered [06030] and said [0559], As thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], my lord [0113] the king [04428], none [0376] can [0786] turn to the right hand [03231] or to the left [08041] from ought that my lord [0113] the king [04428] hath spoken [01696]: for thy servant [05650] Joab [03097], he bade [06680] me, and he put [07760] all these words [01697] in the mouth [06310] of thine handmaid [08198]: 10 14 20 To [05668] fetch about [05437] this form [06440] of speech [01697] hath thy servant [05650] Joab [03097] done [06213] this thing [01697]: and my lord [0113] is wise [02450], according to the wisdom [02451] of an angel [04397] of God [0430], to know [03045] all things that are in the earth [0776]. 10 14 21 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Joab [03097], Behold now, I have done [06213] this thing [01697]: go [03212] therefore, bring [07725] the young man [05288] Absalom [053] again [07725]. 10 14 22 And Joab [03097] fell [05307] to the ground [0776] on his face [06440], and bowed [07812] himself, and thanked [01288] the king [04428]: and Joab [03097] said [0559], To day [03117] thy servant [05650] knoweth [03045] that I have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], my lord [0113], O king [04428], in that the king [04428] hath fulfilled [06213] the request [01697] of his servant [05650]. 10 14 23 So Joab [03097] arose [06965] and went [03212] to Geshur [01650], and brought [0935] Absalom [053] to Jerusalem [03389]. 10 14 24 And the king [04428] said [0559], Let him turn [05437] to his own house [01004], and let him not see [07200] my face [06440]. So Absalom [053] returned [05437] to his own house [01004], and saw [07200] not the king's [04428] face [06440]. 10 14 25 But in all Israel [03478] there was none [0376] to be so much [03966] praised [01984] as Absalom [053] for his beauty [03303]: from the sole [03709] of his foot [07272] even to the crown of his head [06936] there was no blemish [03971] in him. 10 14 26 And when he polled [01548] his head [07218], (for it was at every year's [03117] [03117] end [07093] that he polled [01548] it: because the hair was heavy [03513] on him, therefore he polled [01548] it:) he weighed [08254] the hair [08181] of his head [07218] at two hundred [03967] shekels [08255] after the king's [04428] weight [068]. 10 14 27 And unto Absalom [053] there were born [03205] three [07969] sons [01121], and one [0259] daughter [01323], whose name [08034] was Tamar [08559]: she was a woman [0802] of a fair [03303] countenance [04758]. 10 14 28 So Absalom [053] dwelt [03427] two full [03117] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389], and saw [07200] not the king's [04428] face [06440]. 10 14 29 Therefore Absalom [053] sent [07971] for Joab [03097], to have sent [07971] him to the king [04428]; but he would [014] not come [0935] to him: and when he sent again [07971] the second time [08145], he would [014] not come [0935]. 10 14 30 Therefore he said [0559] unto his servants [05650], See [07200], Joab's [03097] field [02513] is near [0413] mine [03027], and he hath barley [08184] there; go [03212] and set [03341] it on fire [0784]. And Absalom's [053] servants [05650] set [03341] the field [02513] on fire [0784]. 10 14 31 Then Joab [03097] arose [06965], and came [0935] to Absalom [053] unto his house [01004], and said [0559] unto him, Wherefore have thy servants [05650] set [03341] my field [02513] on fire [0784]? 10 14 32 And Absalom [053] answered [0559] Joab [03097], Behold, I sent [07971] unto thee, saying [0559], Come [0935] hither, that I may send [07971] thee to the king [04428], to say [0559], Wherefore am I come [0935] from Geshur [01650]? it had been good [02896] for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see [07200] the king's [04428] face [06440]; and if there be [03426] any iniquity [05771] in me, let him kill [04191] me. 10 14 33 So Joab [03097] came [0935] to the king [04428], and told [05046] him: and when he had called [07121] for Absalom [053], he came [0935] to the king [04428], and bowed [07812] himself on his face [0639] to the ground [0776] before [06440] the king [04428]: and the king [04428] kissed [05401] Absalom [053]. 10 15 1 And it came to pass after this [0310], that Absalom [053] prepared [06213] him chariots [04818] and horses [05483], and fifty [02572] men [0376] to run [07323] before [06440] him. 10 15 2 And Absalom [053] rose up early [07925], and stood [05975] beside [03027] the way [01870] of the gate [08179]: and it was so, that when any man [0376] that had a controversy [07379] came [0935] to the king [04428] for judgment [04941], then Absalom [053] called [07121] unto him, and said [0559], Of what [0335] city [05892] art thou? And he said [0559], Thy servant [05650] is of one [0259] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 10 15 3 And Absalom [053] said [0559] unto him, See [07200], thy matters [01697] are good [02896] and right [05228]; but there is no man deputed of the king [04428] to hear [08085] thee. 10 15 4 Absalom [053] said [0559] moreover, Oh that I were made [07760] judge [08199] in the land [0776], that every man [0376] which hath any suit [07379] or cause [04941] might come [0935] unto me, and I would do him justice [06663] ! 10 15 5 And it was so, that when any man [0376] came nigh [07126] to him to do him obeisance [07812], he put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and took [02388] him, and kissed [05401] him. 10 15 6 And on this manner [01697] did [06213] Absalom [053] to all Israel [03478] that came [0935] to the king [04428] for judgment [04941]: so Absalom [053] stole [01589] the hearts [03820] of the men [0582] of Israel [03478]. 10 15 7 And it came to pass after [07093] forty [0705] years [08141], that Absalom [053] said [0559] unto the king [04428], I pray thee, let me go [03212] and pay [07999] my vow [05088], which I have vowed [05087] unto the LORD [03068], in Hebron [02275]. 10 15 8 For thy servant [05650] vowed [05087] a vow [05088] while I abode [03427] at Geshur [01650] in Syria [0758], saying [0559], If the LORD [03068] shall bring me again [07725] [07725] indeed to Jerusalem [03389], then I will serve [05647] the LORD [03068]. 10 15 9 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Go [03212] in peace [07965]. So he arose [06965], and went [03212] to Hebron [02275]. 10 15 10 But Absalom [053] sent [07971] spies [07270] throughout all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], As soon as ye hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], then ye shall say [0559], Absalom [053] reigneth [04427] in Hebron [02275]. 10 15 11 And with Absalom [053] went [01980] two hundred [03967] men [0376] out of Jerusalem [03389], that were called [07121]; and they went [01980] in their simplicity [08537], and they knew [03045] not any thing [01697]. 10 15 12 And Absalom [053] sent [07971] for Ahithophel [0302] the Gilonite [01526], David's [01732] counsellor [03289], from his city [05892], even from Giloh [01542], while he offered [02076] sacrifices [02077]. And the conspiracy [07195] was strong [0533]; for the people [05971] increased [07227] continually [01980] with Absalom [053]. 10 15 13 And there came [0935] a messenger [05046] to David [01732], saying [0559], The hearts [03820] of the men [0376] of Israel [03478] are after [0310] Absalom [053]. 10 15 14 And David [01732] said [0559] unto all his servants [05650] that were with him at Jerusalem [03389], Arise [06965], and let us flee [01272]; for we shall not else escape [06413] from [06440] Absalom [053]: make speed [04116] to depart [03212], lest he overtake [05381] us suddenly [04116], and bring [05080] evil [07451] upon us, and smite [05221] the city [05892] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]. 10 15 15 And the king's [04428] servants [05650] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Behold, thy servants [05650] are ready to do whatsoever my lord [0113] the king [04428] shall appoint [0977]. 10 15 16 And the king [04428] went forth [03318], and all his household [01004] after [07272] him. And the king [04428] left [05800] ten [06235] women [0802], which were concubines [06370], to keep [08104] the house [01004]. 10 15 17 And the king [04428] went forth [03318], and all the people [05971] after [07272] him, and tarried [05975] in a place [01004] that was far off [04801] [01023]. 10 15 18 And all his servants [05650] passed on [05674] beside [03027] him; and all the Cherethites [03774], and all the Pelethites [06432], and all the Gittites [01663], six [08337] hundred [03967] men [0376] which came [0935] after [07272] him from Gath [01661], passed on [05674] before [06440] the king [04428]. 10 15 19 Then said [0559] the king [04428] to Ittai [0863] the Gittite [01663], Wherefore goest [03212] thou also with us? return [07725] to thy place [04725], and abide [03427] with the king [04428]: for thou art a stranger [05237], and also an exile [01540]. 10 15 20 Whereas thou camest [0935] but yesterday [08543], should I this day [03117] make thee go [03212] up and down [05128] [05128] with us? seeing I go [01980] whither I may, return [07725] thou, and take back [07725] thy brethren [0251]: mercy [02617] and truth [0571] be with thee. 10 15 21 And Ittai [0863] answered [06030] the king [04428], and said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as my lord [0113] the king [04428] liveth [02416], surely in what place [04725] my lord [0113] the king [04428] shall be, whether in death [04194] or life [02416], even there also will thy servant [05650] be. 10 15 22 And David [01732] said [0559] to Ittai [0863], Go [03212] and pass over [05674]. And Ittai [0863] the Gittite [01663] passed over [05674], and all his men [0582], and all the little ones [02945] that were with him. 10 15 23 And all the country [0776] wept [01058] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], and all the people [05971] passed over [05674]: the king [04428] also himself passed over [05674] the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and all the people [05971] passed over [05674], toward [06440] the way [01870] of the wilderness [04057]. 10 15 24 And lo Zadok [06659] also, and all the Levites [03881] were with him, bearing [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of God [0430]: and they set down [03332] the ark [0727] of God [0430]; and Abiathar [054] went up [05927], until all the people [05971] had done [08552] passing [05674] out of the city [05892]. 10 15 25 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Zadok [06659], Carry back [07725] the ark [0727] of God [0430] into the city [05892]: if I shall find [04672] favour [02580] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], he will bring me again [07725], and shew [07200] me both it, and his habitation [05116]: 10 15 26 But if he thus say [0559], I have no delight [02654] in thee; behold, here am I, let him do [06213] to me as seemeth [05869] good [02896] unto him. 10 15 27 The king [04428] said [0559] also unto Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], Art not thou a seer [07200]? return [07725] into the city [05892] in peace [07965], and your two [08147] sons [01121] with you, Ahimaaz [0290] thy son [01121], and Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054]. 10 15 28 See [07200], I will tarry [04102] in the plain [06160] [05679] of the wilderness [04057], until there come [0935] word [01697] from you to certify [05046] me. 10 15 29 Zadok [06659] therefore and Abiathar [054] carried [07725] the ark [0727] of God [0430] again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]: and they tarried [03427] there. 10 15 30 And David [01732] went up [05927] by the ascent [04608] of mount Olivet [02132], and wept [01058] as he went up [05927], and had his head [07218] covered [02645], and he went [01980] barefoot [03182]: and all the people [05971] that was with him covered [02645] every man [0376] his head [07218], and they went up [05927], weeping [01058] as they went up [05927]. 10 15 31 And one told [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], Ahithophel [0302] is among the conspirators [07194] with Absalom [053]. And David [01732] said [0559], O LORD [03068], I pray thee, turn the counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302] into foolishness [05528]. 10 15 32 And it came to pass, that when David [01732] was come [0935] to the top [07218] of the mount, where he worshipped [07812] God [0430], behold, Hushai [02365] the Archite [0757] came to meet [07125] him with his coat [03801] rent [07167], and earth [0127] upon his head [07218]: 10 15 33 Unto whom David [01732] said [0559], If thou passest on [05674] with me, then thou shalt be a burden [04853] unto me: 10 15 34 But if thou return [07725] to the city [05892], and say [0559] unto Absalom [053], I will be thy servant [05650], O king [04428]; as I have been thy father's [01] servant [05650] hitherto [0227], so will I now also be thy servant [05650]: then mayest thou for me defeat [06565] the counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302]. 10 15 35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok [06659] and Abiathar [054] the priests [03548]? therefore it shall be, that what thing [01697] soever thou shalt hear [08085] out of the king's [04428] house [01004], thou shalt tell [05046] it to Zadok [06659] and Abiathar [054] the priests [03548]. 10 15 36 Behold, they have there with them their two [08147] sons [01121], Ahimaaz [0290] Zadok's [06659] son, and Jonathan [03083] Abiathar's [054] son; and by them [03027] ye shall send [07971] unto me every thing [01697] that ye can hear [08085]. 10 15 37 So Hushai [02365] David's [01732] friend [07463] came [0935] into the city [05892], and Absalom [053] came [0935] into Jerusalem [03389]. 10 16 1 And when David [01732] was a little [04592] past [05674] the top [07218] of the hill, behold, Ziba [06717] the servant [05288] of Mephibosheth [04648] met [07125] him, with a couple [06776] of asses [02543] saddled [02280], and upon them two hundred [03967] loaves of bread [03899], and an hundred [03967] bunches of raisins [06778], and an hundred [03967] of summer fruits [07019], and a bottle [05035] of wine [03196]. 10 16 2 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Ziba [06717], What meanest thou by these? And Ziba [06717] said [0559], The asses [02543] be for the king's [04428] household [01004] to ride on [07392]; and the bread [03899] and summer fruit [07019] for the young men [05288] to eat [0398]; and the wine [03196], that such as be faint [03287] in the wilderness [04057] may drink [08354]. 10 16 3 And the king [04428] said [0559], And where is thy master's [0113] son [01121]? And Ziba [06717] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Behold, he abideth [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]: for he said [0559], To day [03117] shall the house [01004] of Israel [03478] restore [07725] me the kingdom [04468] of my father [01]. 10 16 4 Then said [0559] the king [04428] to Ziba [06717], Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth [04648]. And Ziba [06717] said [0559], I humbly [07812] beseech thee that I may find [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869], my lord [0113], O king [04428]. 10 16 5 And when king [04428] David [01732] came [0935] to Bahurim [0980], behold, thence came out [03318] a man [0376] of the family [04940] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], whose name [08034] was Shimei [08096], the son [01121] of Gera [01617]: he came forth [03318], and cursed [07043] still as he came [03318]. 10 16 6 And he cast [05619] stones [068] at David [01732], and at all the servants [05650] of king [04428] David [01732]: and all the people [05971] and all the mighty men [01368] were on his right hand [03225] and on his left [08040]. 10 16 7 And thus said [0559] Shimei [08096] when he cursed [07043], Come out [03318], come out [03318], thou bloody [01818] man [0376], and thou man [0376] of Belial [01100]: 10 16 8 The LORD [03068] hath returned [07725] upon thee all the blood [01818] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], in whose stead thou hast reigned [04427]; and the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] the kingdom [04410] into the hand [03027] of Absalom [053] thy son [01121]: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief [07451], because thou art a bloody [01818] man [0376]. 10 16 9 Then said [0559] Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] unto the king [04428], Why should this dead [04191] dog [03611] curse [07043] my lord [0113] the king [04428]? let me go over [05674], I pray thee, and take off [05493] his head [07218]. 10 16 10 And the king [04428] said [0559], What have I to do with you, ye sons [01121] of Zeruiah [06870]? so let him curse [07043], because the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto him, Curse [07043] David [01732]. Who shall then say [0559], Wherefore hast thou done so [06213]? 10 16 11 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abishai [052], and to all his servants [05650], Behold, my son [01121], which came forth [03318] of my bowels [04578], seeketh [01245] my life [05315]: how much more now may this Benjamite [01145] do it? let him alone [03240], and let him curse [07043]; for the LORD [03068] hath bidden [0559] him. 10 16 12 It may be that the LORD [03068] will look [07200] on mine affliction [05869] [06040], and that the LORD [03068] will requite [07725] me good [02896] for his cursing [07045] this day [03117]. 10 16 13 And as David [01732] and his men [0582] went [03212] by the way [01870], Shimei [08096] went along [01980] on the hill's [02022] side [06763] over against [05980] him, and cursed [07043] as he went [01980], and threw [05619] stones [068] at [05980] him, and cast [06080] dust [06083]. 10 16 14 And the king [04428], and all the people [05971] that were with him, came [0935] weary [05889], and refreshed [05314] themselves there. 10 16 15 And Absalom [053], and all the people [05971] the men [0376] of Israel [03478], came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and Ahithophel [0302] with him. 10 16 16 And it came to pass, when Hushai [02365] the Archite [0757], David's [01732] friend [07463], was come [0935] unto Absalom [053], that Hushai [02365] said [0559] unto Absalom [053], God save [02421] the king [04428], God save [02421] the king [04428]. 10 16 17 And Absalom [053] said [0559] to Hushai [02365], Is this thy kindness [02617] to thy friend [07453]? why wentest [01980] thou not with thy friend [07453]? 10 16 18 And Hushai [02365] said [0559] unto Absalom [053], Nay; but whom the LORD [03068], and this people [05971], and all the men [0376] of Israel [03478], choose [0977], his will I be, and with him will I abide [03427]. 10 16 19 And again [08145], whom should I serve [05647]? should I not serve in the presence [06440] of his son [01121]? as I have served [05647] in thy father's [01] presence [06440], so will I be in thy presence [06440]. 10 16 20 Then said [0559] Absalom [053] to Ahithophel [0302], Give [03051] counsel [06098] among you what we shall do [06213]. 10 16 21 And Ahithophel [0302] said [0559] unto Absalom [053], Go in [0935] unto thy father's [01] concubines [06370], which he hath left [03240] to keep [08104] the house [01004]; and all Israel [03478] shall hear [08085] that thou art abhorred [0887] of thy father [01]: then shall the hands [03027] of all that are with thee be strong [02388]. 10 16 22 So they spread [05186] Absalom [053] a tent [0168] upon the top of the house [01406]; and Absalom [053] went in [0935] unto his father's [01] concubines [06370] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478]. 10 16 23 And the counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302], which he counselled [03289] in those days [03117], was as if a man [0376] had enquired [07592] at the oracle [01697] of God [0430]: so was all the counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302] both with David [01732] and with Absalom [053]. 10 17 1 Moreover Ahithophel [0302] said [0559] unto Absalom [053], Let me now choose out [0977] twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] men [0376], and I will arise [06965] and pursue [07291] after [0310] David [01732] this night [03915]: 10 17 2 And I will come [0935] upon him while he is weary [03023] and weak [07504] handed [03027], and will make him afraid [02729]: and all the people [05971] that are with him shall flee [05127]; and I will smite [05221] the king [04428] only: 10 17 3 And I will bring back [07725] all the people [05971] unto thee: the man [0376] whom thou seekest [01245] is as if all returned [07725]: so all the people [05971] shall be in peace [07965]. 10 17 4 And the saying [01697] pleased [03474] Absalom [053] well [05869], and all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]. 10 17 5 Then said [0559] Absalom [053], Call [07121] now Hushai [02365] the Archite [0757] also, and let us hear [08085] likewise what he saith [06310]. 10 17 6 And when Hushai [02365] was come [0935] to Absalom [053], Absalom [053] spake [0559] unto him, saying [0559], Ahithophel [0302] hath spoken [01696] after this manner [01697]: shall we do [06213] after his saying [01697]? if not; speak [01696] thou. 10 17 7 And Hushai [02365] said [0559] unto Absalom [053], The counsel [06098] that Ahithophel [0302] hath given [03289] is not good [02896] at this time [06471]. 10 17 8 For, said [0559] Hushai [02365], thou knowest [03045] thy father [01] and his men [0582], that they be mighty men [01368], and they be chafed [04751] in their minds [05315], as a bear [01677] robbed [07909] of her whelps in the field [07704]: and thy father [01] is a man [0376] of war [04421], and will not lodge [03885] with the people [05971]. 10 17 9 Behold, he is hid [02244] now in some [0259] pit [06354], or in some [0259] other place [04725]: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown [05307] at the first [08462], that whosoever [08085] heareth [08085] it will say [0559], There is a slaughter [04046] among the people [05971] that follow [0310] Absalom [053]. 10 17 10 And he also that is valiant [01121] [02428], whose heart [03820] is as the heart [03820] of a lion [0738], shall utterly [04549] melt [04549]: for all Israel [03478] knoweth [03045] that thy father [01] is a mighty man [01368], and they which be with him are valiant [02428] men [01121]. 10 17 11 Therefore I counsel [03289] that all Israel [03478] be generally [0622] gathered [0622] unto thee, from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884], as the sand [02344] that is by the sea [03220] for multitude [07230]; and that thou go [01980] to battle [07128] in thine own person [06440]. 10 17 12 So shall we come [0935] upon him in some [0259] place [04725] where he shall be found [04672], and we will light [05168] upon him as the dew [02919] falleth [05307] on the ground [0127]: and of him and of all the men [0582] that are with him there shall not be left [03498] so much as [01571] one [0259]. 10 17 13 Moreover, if [0518] he be gotten [0622] into a city [05892], then shall all Israel [03478] bring [05375] ropes [02256] to that city [05892], and we will draw [05498] it into the river [05158], until there be not one [01571] small stone [06872] found [04672] there. 10 17 14 And Absalom [053] and all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] said [0559], The counsel [06098] of Hushai [02365] the Archite [0757] is better [02896] than the counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302]. For the LORD [03068] had appointed [06680] to defeat [06565] the good [02896] counsel [06098] of Ahithophel [0302], to the intent [05668] that the LORD [03068] might bring [0935] evil [07451] upon Absalom [053]. 10 17 15 Then said [0559] Hushai [02365] unto Zadok [06659] and to Abiathar [054] the priests [03548], Thus and thus did Ahithophel [0302] counsel [03289] Absalom [053] and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478]; and thus and thus have I counselled [03289]. 10 17 16 Now therefore send [07971] quickly [04120], and tell [05046] David [01732], saying [0559], Lodge [03885] not this night [03915] in the plains [06160] [05679] of the wilderness [04057], but speedily [05674] pass over [05674]; lest the king [04428] be swallowed up [01104], and all the people [05971] that are with him. 10 17 17 Now Jonathan [03083] and Ahimaaz [0290] stayed [05975] by Enrogel [05883]; for they might [03201] not be seen [07200] to come [0935] into the city [05892]: and a wench [08198] went [01980] and told [05046] them; and they went [03212] and told [05046] king [04428] David [01732]. 10 17 18 Nevertheless a lad [05288] saw [07200] them, and told [05046] Absalom [053]: but they went [03212] both [08147] of them away quickly [04120], and came [0935] to a man's [0376] house [01004] in Bahurim [0980], which had a well [0875] in his court [02691]; whither [08033] they went down [03381]. 10 17 19 And the woman [0802] took [03947] and spread [06566] a covering [04539] over the well's [0875] mouth [06440], and spread [07849] ground corn [07383] thereon; and the thing [01697] was not known [03045]. 10 17 20 And when Absalom's [053] servants [05650] came [0935] to the woman [0802] to the house [01004], they said [0559], Where is Ahimaaz [0290] and Jonathan [03083]? And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto them, They be gone over [05674] the brook [04323] of water [04325]. And when they had sought [01245] and could not find [04672] them, they returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 10 17 21 And it came to pass, after [0310] they were departed [03212], that they came up [05927] out of the well [0875], and went [03212] and told [05046] king [04428] David [01732], and said [0559] unto David [01732], Arise [06965], and pass quickly [04120] over [05674] the water [04325]: for thus hath Ahithophel [0302] counselled [03289] against you. 10 17 22 Then David [01732] arose [06965], and all the people [05971] that were with him, and they passed over [05674] Jordan [03383]: by the morning [01242] light [0216] there lacked [05737] not one [0259] of them that was not gone over [05674] Jordan [03383]. 10 17 23 And when Ahithophel [0302] saw [07200] that his counsel [06098] was not followed [06213], he saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and arose [06965], and gat him home [03212] to his house [01004], to his city [05892], and put his household [01004] in order [06680], and hanged [02614] himself, and died [04191], and was buried [06912] in the sepulchre [06913] of his father [01]. 10 17 24 Then David [01732] came [0935] to Mahanaim [04266]. And Absalom [053] passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], he and all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] with him. 10 17 25 And Absalom [053] made [07760] Amasa [06021] captain of the host [06635] instead of Joab [03097]: which Amasa [06021] was a man's [0376] son [01121], whose name [08034] was Ithra [03501] an Israelite [03481], that went in [0935] to Abigail [026] the daughter [01323] of Nahash [05176], sister [0269] to Zeruiah [06870] Joab's [03097] mother [0517]. 10 17 26 So Israel [03478] and Absalom [053] pitched [02583] in the land [0776] of Gilead [01568]. 10 17 27 And it came to pass, when David [01732] was come [0935] to Mahanaim [04266], that Shobi [07629] the son [01121] of Nahash [05176] of Rabbah [07237] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and Machir [04353] the son [01121] of Ammiel [05988] of Lodebar [03810], and Barzillai [01271] the Gileadite [01569] of Rogelim [07274], 10 17 28 Brought [05066] beds [04904], and basons [05592], and earthen [03335] vessels [03627], and wheat [02406], and barley [08184], and flour [07058], and parched [07039] corn, and beans [06321], and lentiles [05742], and parched [07039] pulse, 10 17 29 And honey [01706], and butter [02529], and sheep [06629], and cheese [08194] of kine [01241], for David [01732], and for the people [05971] that were with him, to eat [0398]: for they said [0559], The people [05971] is hungry [07457], and weary [05889], and thirsty [06771], in the wilderness [04057]. 10 18 1 And David [01732] numbered [06485] the people [05971] that were with him, and set [07760] captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and captains [08269] of hundreds [03967] over them. 10 18 2 And David [01732] sent forth [07971] a third part [07992] of the people [05971] under the hand [03027] of Joab [03097], and a third part [07992] under the hand [03027] of Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], Joab's [03097] brother [0251], and a third part [07992] under the hand [03027] of Ittai [0863] the Gittite [01663]. And the king [04428] said [0559] unto the people [05971], I will surely [03318] go forth [03318] with you myself [0589] also. 10 18 3 But the people [05971] answered [0559], Thou shalt not go forth [03318]: for if we flee [05127] away [05127], they will not care [07760] [03820] for us; neither if half [02677] of us die [04191], will they care [07760] [03820] for us: but now thou art worth [03644] ten [06235] thousand [0505] of us: therefore now it is better [02896] that thou succour [05826] [05826] us out of the city [05892]. 10 18 4 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto them, What seemeth [05869] you best [03190] I will do [06213]. And the king [04428] stood [05975] by the gate [08179] side [03027], and all the people [05971] came out [03318] by hundreds [03967] and by thousands [0505]. 10 18 5 And the king [04428] commanded [06680] Joab [03097] and Abishai [052] and Ittai [0863], saying [0559], Deal gently [0328] for my sake with the young man [05288], even with Absalom [053]. And all the people [05971] heard [08085] when the king [04428] gave all the captains [08269] charge [06680] concerning [01697] Absalom [053]. 10 18 6 So the people [05971] went out [03318] into the field [07704] against [07125] Israel [03478]: and the battle [04421] was in the wood [03293] of Ephraim [0669]; 10 18 7 Where the people [05971] of Israel [03478] were slain [05062] before [06440] the servants [05650] of David [01732], and there was there a great [01419] slaughter [04046] that day [03117] of twenty [06242] thousand [0505] men. 10 18 8 For the battle [04421] was there scattered [06327] over the face [06440] of all the country [0776]: and the wood [03293] devoured [0398] more [07235] people [05971] that day [03117] than the sword [02719] devoured [0398]. 10 18 9 And Absalom [053] met [07122] the servants [06440] [05650] of David [01732]. And Absalom [053] rode [07392] upon a mule [06505], and the mule [06505] went [0935] under the thick boughs [07730] of a great [01419] oak [0424], and his head [07218] caught hold [02388] of the oak [0424], and he was taken up [05414] between the heaven [08064] and the earth [0776]; and the mule [06505] that was under him went away [05674]. 10 18 10 And a certain [0259] man [0376] saw [07200] it, and told [05046] Joab [03097], and said [0559], Behold, I saw [07200] Absalom [053] hanged [08518] in an oak [0424]. 10 18 11 And Joab [03097] said [0559] unto the man [0376] that told [05046] him, And, behold, thou sawest [07200] him, and why didst thou not smite [05221] him there to the ground [0776]? and I would have given [05414] thee ten [06235] shekels of silver [03701], and a [0259] girdle [02290]. 10 18 12 And the man [0376] said [0559] unto Joab [03097], Though [03863] I should receive [08254] a thousand [0505] shekels of silver [03701] in mine hand [03709], yet would I not put forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against the king's [04428] son [01121]: for in our hearing [0241] the king [04428] charged [06680] thee and Abishai [052] and Ittai [0863], saying [0559], Beware [08104] that none touch the young man [05288] Absalom [053]. 10 18 13 Otherwise [0176] I should have wrought [06213] falsehood [08267] against mine own life [05315]: for there is no matter [01697] hid [03582] from the king [04428], and thou thyself wouldest have set [03320] thyself against me. 10 18 14 Then said [0559] Joab [03097], I may not tarry [03176] thus with thee [06440]. And he took [03947] three [07969] darts [07626] in his hand [03709], and thrust [08628] them through the heart [03820] of Absalom [053], while he was yet alive [02416] in the midst of the oak [0424]. 10 18 15 And ten [06235] young men [05288] that bare [05375] Joab's [03097] armour [03627] compassed about [05437] and smote [05221] Absalom [053], and slew [04191] him. 10 18 16 And Joab [03097] blew [08628] the trumpet [07782], and the people [05971] returned [07725] from pursuing [07291] after [0310] Israel [03478]: for Joab [03097] held back [02820] the people [05971]. 10 18 17 And they took [03947] Absalom [053], and cast [07993] him into a great [01419] pit [06354] in the wood [03293], and laid [05324] a very [03966] great [01419] heap [01530] of stones [068] upon him: and all Israel [03478] fled [05127] every one [0376] to his tent [0168]. 10 18 18 Now Absalom [053] in his lifetime [02416] had taken [03947] and reared up [05324] for himself a pillar [04678], which is in the king's [04428] dale [06010]: for he said [0559], I have no son [01121] to keep my name [08034] in remembrance [02142]: and he called [07121] the pillar [04678] after his own name [08034]: and it is called [07121] unto this day [03117], Absalom's [053] place [03027]. 10 18 19 Then said [0559] Ahimaaz [0290] the son [01121] of Zadok [06659], Let me now run [07323], and bear [01319] the king [04428] tidings [01319], how that the LORD [03068] hath avenged [08199] him of his enemies [03027] [0341]. 10 18 20 And Joab [03097] said [0559] unto him, Thou [0376] shalt not bear tidings [01309] this day [03117], but thou shalt bear tidings [01319] another [0312] day [03117]: but this day [03117] thou shalt bear no tidings [01319], because the king's [04428] son [01121] is dead [04191]. 10 18 21 Then said [0559] Joab [03097] to Cushi [03569], Go [03212] tell [05046] the king [04428] what thou hast seen [07200]. And Cushi [03569] bowed [07812] himself unto Joab [03097], and ran [07323]. 10 18 22 Then said [0559] Ahimaaz [0290] the son [01121] of Zadok [06659] yet again [03254] to Joab [03097], But howsoever [04100], let me, I pray thee, also run [07323] after [0310] Cushi [03569]. And Joab [03097] said [0559], Wherefore wilt thou run [07323], my son [01121], seeing that thou hast no tidings [01309] ready [04672]? 10 18 23 But howsoever, said he, let me run [07323]. And he said [0559] unto him, Run [07323]. Then Ahimaaz [0290] ran [07323] by the way [01870] of the plain [03603], and overran [05674] Cushi [03569]. 10 18 24 And David [01732] sat [03427] between the two [08147] gates [08179]: and the watchman [06822] went up [03212] to the roof [01406] over the gate [08179] unto the wall [02346], and lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a man [0376] running [07323] alone. 10 18 25 And the watchman [06822] cried [07121], and told [05046] the king [04428]. And the king [04428] said [0559], If he be alone, there is tidings [01309] in his mouth [06310]. And he came [03212] apace [01980], and drew near [07131]. 10 18 26 And the watchman [06822] saw [07200] another [0312] man [0376] running [07323]: and the watchman [06822] called [07121] unto the porter [07778], and said [0559], Behold another man [0376] running [07323] alone. And the king [04428] said [0559], He also bringeth tidings [01319]. 10 18 27 And the watchman [06822] said [0559], Me thinketh [07200] the running [04794] of the foremost [07223] is like the running [04794] of Ahimaaz [0290] the son [01121] of Zadok [06659]. And the king [04428] said [0559], He is a good [02896] man [0376], and cometh [0935] with good [02896] tidings [01309]. 10 18 28 And Ahimaaz [0290] called [07121], and said [0559] unto the king [04428], All is well [07965]. And he fell down [07812] to the earth [0776] upon his face [0639] before the king [04428], and said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which hath delivered up [05462] the men [0582] that lifted up [05375] their hand [03027] against my lord [0113] the king [04428]. 10 18 29 And the king [04428] said [0559], Is the young man [05288] Absalom [053] safe [07965]? And Ahimaaz [0290] answered [0559], When Joab [03097] sent [07971] the king's [04428] servant [05650], and me thy servant [05650], I saw [07200] a great [01419] tumult [01995], but I knew [03045] not what it was. 10 18 30 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Turn aside [05437], and stand [03320] here [03541]. And he turned aside [05437], and stood still [05975]. 10 18 31 And, behold, Cushi [03569] came [0935]; and Cushi [03569] said [0559], Tidings [01319], my lord [0113] the king [04428]: for the LORD [03068] hath avenged [08199] thee this day [03117] of all them [03027] that rose up [06965] against thee. 10 18 32 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Cushi [03569], Is the young man [05288] Absalom [053] safe [07965]? And Cushi [03569] answered [0559], The enemies [0341] of my lord [0113] the king [04428], and all that rise [06965] against thee to do thee hurt [07451], be as that young man [05288] is. 10 18 33 And the king [04428] was much moved [07264], and went up [05927] to the chamber [05944] over the gate [08179], and wept [01058]: and as he went [03212], thus he said [0559], O my son [01121] Absalom [053], my son [01121], my son [01121] Absalom [053]! would God I had died [04191] for thee [05414], O Absalom [053], my son [01121], my son [01121]! 10 19 1 And it was told [05046] Joab [03097], Behold, the king [04428] weepeth [01058] and mourneth [056] for Absalom [053]. 10 19 2 And the victory [08668] that day [03117] was turned into mourning [060] unto all the people [05971]: for the people [05971] heard [08085] say [0559] that day [03117] how the king [04428] was grieved [06087] for his son [01121]. 10 19 3 And the people [05971] gat [0935] them by stealth [01589] that day [03117] into the city [05892], as people [05971] being ashamed [03637] steal away [01589] when they flee [05127] in battle [04421]. 10 19 4 But the king [04428] covered [03813] his face [06440], and the king [04428] cried [02199] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], O my son [01121] Absalom [053], O Absalom [053], my son [01121], my son [01121]! 10 19 5 And Joab [03097] came [0935] into the house [01004] to the king [04428], and said [0559], Thou hast shamed [03001] this day [03117] the faces [06440] of all thy servants [05650], which this day [03117] have saved [04422] thy life [05315], and the lives [05315] of thy sons [01121] and of thy daughters [01323], and the lives [05315] of thy wives [0802], and the lives [05315] of thy concubines [06370]; 10 19 6 In that thou lovest [0157] thine enemies [08130], and hatest [08130] thy friends [0157]. For thou hast declared [05046] this day [03117], that thou regardest neither princes [08269] nor servants [05650]: for this day [03117] I perceive [03045], that if [03863] Absalom [053] had lived [02416], and all we had died [04191] this day [03117], then it had pleased thee well [03477] [05869]. 10 19 7 Now therefore arise [06965], go forth [03318], and speak [01696] comfortably [03820] unto thy servants [05650]: for I swear [07650] by the LORD [03068], if thou go not forth [03318], there will not tarry [03885] one [0376] with thee this night [03915]: and that will be worse [07489] unto thee than all the evil [07451] that befell [0935] thee from thy youth [05271] until now. 10 19 8 Then the king [04428] arose [06965], and sat [03427] in the gate [08179]. And they told [05046] unto all the people [05971], saying [0559], Behold, the king [04428] doth sit [03427] in the gate [08179]. And all the people [05971] came [0935] before [06440] the king [04428]: for Israel [03478] had fled [05127] every man [0376] to his tent [0168]. 10 19 9 And all the people [05971] were at strife [01777] throughout all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The king [04428] saved [05337] us out of the hand [03709] of our enemies [0341], and he delivered [04422] us out of the hand [03709] of the Philistines [06430]; and now he is fled [01272] out of the land [0776] for Absalom [053]. 10 19 10 And Absalom [053], whom we anointed [04886] over us, is dead [04191] in battle [04421]. Now therefore why speak [02790] ye not a word of bringing [07725] the king [04428] back [07725]? 10 19 11 And king [04428] David [01732] sent [07971] to Zadok [06659] and to Abiathar [054] the priests [03548], saying [0559], Speak [01696] unto the elders [02205] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Why are ye the last [0314] to bring [07725] the king [04428] back [07725] to his house [01004]? seeing the speech [01697] of all Israel [03478] is come [0935] to the king [04428], even to his house [01004]. 10 19 12 Ye are my brethren [0251], ye are my bones [06106] and my flesh [01320]: wherefore then are ye the last [0314] to bring back [07725] the king [04428]? 10 19 13 And say [0559] ye to Amasa [06021], Art thou not of my bone [06106], and of my flesh [01320]? God [0430] do [06213] so to me, and more [03254] also, if thou be not captain [08269] of the host [06635] before [06440] me continually [03117] in the room [08478] of Joab [03097]. 10 19 14 And he bowed [05186] the heart [03824] of all the men [0376] of Judah [03063], even as the heart of one [0259] man [0376]; so that they sent [07971] this word unto the king [04428], Return [07725] thou, and all thy servants [05650]. 10 19 15 So the king [04428] returned [07725], and came [0935] to Jordan [03383]. And Judah [03063] came [0935] to Gilgal [01537], to go [03212] to meet [07125] the king [04428], to conduct [05674] the king [04428] over [05674] Jordan [03383]. 10 19 16 And Shimei [08096] the son [01121] of Gera [01617], a Benjamite [01145], which was of Bahurim [0980], hasted [04116] and came down [03381] with the men [0376] of Judah [03063] to meet [07125] king [04428] David [01732]. 10 19 17 And there were a thousand [0505] men [0376] of Benjamin [01145] with him, and Ziba [06717] the servant [05288] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], and his fifteen [02568] [06240] sons [01121] and his twenty [06242] servants [05650] with him; and they went over [06743] Jordan [03383] before [06440] the king [04428]. 10 19 18 And there went over [05674] a ferry boat [05679] to carry over [05674] the king's [04428] household [01004], and to do [06213] what he thought [05869] good [02896]. And Shimei [08096] the son [01121] of Gera [01617] fell down [05307] before [06440] the king [04428], as he was come over [05674] Jordan [03383]; 10 19 19 And said [0559] unto the king [04428], Let not my lord [0113] impute [02803] iniquity [05771] unto me, neither do thou remember [02142] that which thy servant [05650] did perversely [05753] the day [03117] that my lord [0113] the king [04428] went out [03318] of Jerusalem [03389], that the king [04428] should take [07760] it to his heart [03820]. 10 19 20 For thy servant [05650] doth know [03045] that I have sinned [02398]: therefore, behold, I am come [0935] the first [07223] this day [03117] of all the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] to go down [03381] to meet [07125] my lord [0113] the king [04428]. 10 19 21 But Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] answered [06030] and said [0559], Shall not Shimei [08096] be put to death [04191] for this, because he cursed [07043] the LORD'S [03068] anointed [04899]? 10 19 22 And David [01732] said [0559], What have I to do with you, ye sons [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], that ye should this day [03117] be adversaries [07854] unto me? shall there any man [0376] be put to death [04191] this day [03117] in Israel [03478]? for do not I know [03045] that I am this day [03117] king [04428] over Israel [03478]? 10 19 23 Therefore the king [04428] said [0559] unto Shimei [08096], Thou shalt not die [04191]. And the king [04428] sware [07650] unto him. 10 19 24 And Mephibosheth [04648] the son [01121] of Saul [07586] came down [03381] to meet [07125] the king [04428], and had neither [03808] dressed [06213] his feet [07272], nor trimmed [06213] his beard [08222], nor washed [03526] his clothes [0899], from the day [03117] the king [04428] departed [03212] until the day [03117] he came [0935] again in peace [07965]. 10 19 25 And it came to pass, when he was come [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] to meet [07125] the king [04428], that the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Wherefore wentest [01980] not thou with me, Mephibosheth [04648]? 10 19 26 And he answered [0559], My lord [0113], O king [04428], my servant [05650] deceived [07411] me: for thy servant [05650] said [0559], I will saddle [02280] me an ass [02543], that I may ride [07392] thereon, and go [03212] to the king [04428]; because thy servant [05650] is lame [06455]. 10 19 27 And he hath slandered [07270] thy servant [05650] unto my lord [0113] the king [04428]; but my lord [0113] the king [04428] is as an angel [04397] of God [0430]: do [06213] therefore what is good [02896] in thine eyes [05869]. 10 19 28 For all of my father's [01] house [01004] were but [03808] dead [04194] men [0582] before my lord [0113] the king [04428]: yet didst thou set [07896] thy servant [05650] among them that did eat [0398] at thine own table [07979]. What right [06666] therefore have [03426] I yet to cry [02199] any more unto the king [04428]? 10 19 29 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Why speakest [01696] thou any more of thy matters [01697]? I have said [0559], Thou and Ziba [06717] divide [02505] the land [07704]. 10 19 30 And Mephibosheth [04648] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Yea, let him take [03947] all, forasmuch [0310] as [0834] my lord [0113] the king [04428] is come again [0935] in peace [07965] unto his own house [01004]. 10 19 31 And Barzillai [01271] the Gileadite [01569] came down [03381] from Rogelim [07274], and went over [05674] Jordan [03383] with the king [04428], to conduct [07971] him over Jordan [03383]. 10 19 32 Now Barzillai [01271] was a very [03966] aged [02204] man, even fourscore [08084] years [08141] old [01121]: and he had provided the king [04428] of sustenance [03557] while he lay [07871] at Mahanaim [04266]; for he was a very [03966] great [01419] man [0376]. 10 19 33 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Barzillai [01271], Come thou over [05674] with me, and I will feed [03557] thee with me in Jerusalem [03389]. 10 19 34 And Barzillai [01271] said [0559] unto the king [04428], How long [03117] have I to live [08141] [02416], that I should go up [05927] with the king [04428] unto Jerusalem [03389]? 10 19 35 I am this day [03117] fourscore [08084] years [08141] old [01121]: and can I discern [03045] between good [02896] and evil [07451]? can thy servant [05650] taste [02938] what [0834] I eat [0398] or what [0834] I drink [08354]? can I hear [08085] any more the voice [06963] of singing men [07891] and singing women [07891]? wherefore then should thy servant [05650] be yet a burden [04853] unto my lord [0113] the king [04428]? 10 19 36 Thy servant [05650] will go [05674] a little way [04592] over [05674] Jordan [03383] with the king [04428]: and why should the king [04428] recompense [01580] it me with such a reward [01578]? 10 19 37 Let thy servant [05650], I pray thee, turn back again [07725], that I may die [04191] in mine own city [05892], and be buried by the grave [06913] of my father [01] and of my mother [0517]. But behold thy servant [05650] Chimham [03643]; let him go over [05674] with my lord [0113] the king [04428]; and do [06213] to him what shall seem good [02896] [05869] unto thee. 10 19 38 And the king [04428] answered [0559], Chimham [03643] shall go [05674] over with me, and I will do [06213] to him that which shall seem good [02896] [05869] unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require [0977] of me, that will I do [06213] for thee. 10 19 39 And all the people [05971] went over [05674] Jordan [03383]. And when the king [04428] was come over [05674], the king [04428] kissed [05401] Barzillai [01271], and blessed [01288] him; and he returned [07725] unto his own place [04725]. 10 19 40 Then the king [04428] went on [05674] to Gilgal [01537], and Chimham [03643] went on [05674] with him: and all the people [05971] of Judah [03063] conducted [05674] [05674] the king [04428], and also half [02677] the people [05971] of Israel [03478]. 10 19 41 And, behold, all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] came [0935] to the king [04428], and said [0559] unto the king [04428], Why have our brethren [0251] the men [0376] of Judah [03063] stolen thee away [01589], and have brought [05674] the king [04428], and his household [01004], and all David's [01732] men [0582] with him, over Jordan [03383]? 10 19 42 And all the men [0376] of Judah [03063] answered [06030] the men [0376] of Israel [03478], Because the king [04428] is near of kin [07138] to us: wherefore then be ye angry [02734] for this matter [01697]? have we eaten [0398] at all [0398] of the king's [04428] cost? or hath he given [05375] us any gift [05379]? 10 19 43 And the men [0376] of Israel [03478] answered [06030] the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and said [0559], We have ten [06235] parts [03027] in the king [04428], and we [0589] have also more right in David [01732] than ye: why then did ye despise [07043] us, that our advice [01697] should not be first [07223] had in bringing back [07725] our king [04428]? And the words [01697] of the men [0376] of Judah [03063] were fiercer [07185] than the words [01697] of the men [0376] of Israel [03478]. 10 20 1 And there happened [07122] to be there a man [0376] of Belial [01100], whose name [08034] was Sheba [07652], the son [01121] of Bichri [01075], a Benjamite [01145]: and he blew [08628] a trumpet [07782], and said [0559], We have no part [02506] in David [01732], neither have we inheritance [05159] in the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]: every [0376] man [0376] to his tents [0168], O Israel [03478]. 10 20 2 So every man [0376] of Israel [03478] went up [05927] from after [0310] David [01732], and followed [0310] Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075]: but the men [0376] of Judah [03063] clave [01692] unto their king [04428], from Jordan [03383] even to Jerusalem [03389]. 10 20 3 And David [01732] came [0935] to his house [01004] at Jerusalem [03389]; and the king [04428] took [03947] the ten [06235] women [0802] his concubines [06370], whom he had left [03240] to keep [08104] the house [01004], and put [05414] them in ward [04931], and fed [03557] them, but went not in [0935] unto them. So they were shut up [06887] unto the day [03117] of their death [04191], living [02424] in widowhood [0491]. 10 20 4 Then said [0559] the king [04428] to Amasa [06021], Assemble [02199] me the men [0376] of Judah [03063] within three [07969] days [03117], and be thou here present [05975]. 10 20 5 So Amasa [06021] went [03212] to assemble [02199] the men of Judah [03063]: but he tarried longer [0309] [03186] than the set time [04150] which he had appointed [03259] him. 10 20 6 And David [01732] said [0559] to Abishai [052], Now shall Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075] do us more harm [03415] than did Absalom [053]: take [03947] thou thy lord's [0113] servants [05650], and pursue [07291] after [0310] him, lest he get [04672] him fenced [01219] cities [05892], and escape [05337] us [05869]. 10 20 7 And there went out [03318] after [0310] him Joab's [03097] men [0582], and the Cherethites [03774], and the Pelethites [06432], and all the mighty men [01368]: and they went out [03318] of Jerusalem [03389], to pursue [07291] after [0310] Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075]. 10 20 8 When they were at the great [01419] stone [068] which is in Gibeon [01391], Amasa [06021] went [0935] before [06440] them. And Joab's [03097] garment [04055] that he had put on [03830] was girded [02296] unto him, and upon it a girdle [02289] with a sword [02719] fastened [06775] upon his loins [04975] in the sheath [08593] thereof; and as he went forth [03318] it fell out [05307]. 10 20 9 And Joab [03097] said [0559] to Amasa [06021], Art thou in health [07965], my brother [0251]? And Joab [03097] took [0270] Amasa [06021] by the beard [02206] with the right [03225] hand [03027] to kiss [05401] him. 10 20 10 But Amasa [06021] took no heed [08104] to the sword [02719] that was in Joab's [03097] hand [03027]: so he smote [05221] him therewith in the fifth [02570] rib, and shed out [08210] his bowels [04578] to the ground [0776], and struck him not again [08138]; and he died [04191]. So Joab [03097] and Abishai [052] his brother [0251] pursued [07291] after [0310] Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075]. 10 20 11 And one [0376] of Joab's [03097] men [05288] stood [05975] by him, and said [0559], He [04310] that favoureth [02654] Joab [03097], and he that is for David [01732], let him go after [0310] Joab [03097]. 10 20 12 And Amasa [06021] wallowed [01556] in blood [01818] in the midst [08432] of the highway [04546]. And when the man [0376] saw [07200] that all the people [05971] stood still [05975], he removed [05437] Amasa [06021] out of the highway [04546] into the field [07704], and cast [07993] a cloth [0899] upon him, when he saw [07200] that every one that came [0935] by him stood still [05975]. 10 20 13 When he was removed [03014] out of the highway [04546], all the people [0376] went on [05674] after [0310] Joab [03097], to pursue [07291] after [0310] Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075]. 10 20 14 And he went [05674] through all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] unto Abel [059], and to Bethmaachah [01038], and all the Berites [01276]: and they were gathered together [06950] [07035], and went [0935] also after [0310] him. 10 20 15 And they came [0935] and besieged [06696] him in Abel [059] of Bethmaachah [01038], and they cast up [08210] a bank [05550] against the city [05892], and it stood [05975] in the trench [02426]: and all the people [05971] that were with Joab [03097] battered [07843] the wall [02346], to throw it down [05307]. 10 20 16 Then cried [07121] a wise [02450] woman [0802] out of the city [05892], Hear [08085], hear [08085]; say [0559], I pray you, unto Joab [03097], Come near [07126] hither, that I may speak [01696] with thee. 10 20 17 And when he was come near [07126] unto her, the woman [0802] said [0559], Art thou Joab [03097]? And he answered [0559], I am he. Then she said [0559] unto him, Hear [08085] the words [01697] of thine handmaid [0519]. And he answered [0559], I do hear [08085]. 10 20 18 Then she spake [0559], saying [0559], They were wont [01696] to speak [01696] in old time [07223], saying [0559], They shall surely [07592] ask [07592] counsel at Abel [059]: and so they ended [08552] the matter. 10 20 19 I am one of them that are peaceable [07999] and faithful [0539] in Israel [03478]: thou seekest [01245] to destroy [04191] a city [05892] and a mother [0517] in Israel [03478]: why wilt thou swallow up [01104] the inheritance [05159] of the LORD [03068]? 10 20 20 And Joab [03097] answered [06030] and said [0559], Far be it [02486], far be it [02486] from me, that I should swallow up [01104] or destroy [07843]. 10 20 21 The matter [01697] is not so: but a man [0376] of mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075] by name [08034], hath lifted up [05375] his hand [03027] against the king [04428], even against David [01732]: deliver [05414] him only, and I will depart [03212] from the city [05892]. And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto Joab [03097], Behold, his head [07218] shall be thrown [07993] to thee over [01157] the wall [02346]. 10 20 22 Then the woman [0802] went [0935] unto all the people [05971] in her wisdom [02451]. And they cut off [03772] the head [07218] of Sheba [07652] the son [01121] of Bichri [01075], and cast [07993] it out to Joab [03097]. And he blew [08628] a trumpet [07782], and they retired [06327] from the city [05892], every man [0376] to his tent [0168]. And Joab [03097] returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] unto the king [04428]. 10 20 23 Now Joab [03097] was over all the host [06635] of Israel [03478]: and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over the Cherethites [03774] [03746] and over the Pelethites [06432]: 10 20 24 And Adoram [0151] was over the tribute [04522]: and Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Ahilud [0286] was recorder [02142]: 10 20 25 And Sheva [07864] [07724] was scribe [05608]: and Zadok [06659] and Abiathar [054] were the priests [03548]: 10 20 26 And Ira [05896] also the Jairite [02972] was a chief ruler [03548] about David [01732]. 10 21 1 Then there was a famine [07458] in the days [03117] of David [01732] three [07969] years [08141], year [08141] after [0310] year [08141]; and David [01732] enquired [01245] of [06440] the LORD [03068]. And the LORD [03068] answered [0559], It is for Saul [07586], and for his bloody [01818] house [01004], because he slew [04191] the Gibeonites [01393]. 10 21 2 And the king [04428] called [07121] the Gibeonites [01393], and said [0559] unto them; (now the Gibeonites [01393] were not of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], but of the remnant [03499] of the Amorites [0567]; and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had sworn [07650] unto them: and Saul [07586] sought [01245] to slay [05221] them in his zeal [07065] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063].) 10 21 3 Wherefore David [01732] said [0559] unto the Gibeonites [01393], What shall I do [06213] for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement [03722], that ye may bless [01288] the inheritance [05159] of the LORD [03068]? 10 21 4 And the Gibeonites [01393] said [0559] unto him, We will have no silver [03701] nor gold [02091] of [05973] Saul [07586], nor of his house [01004]; neither for us shalt thou kill [04191] any man [0376] in Israel [03478]. And he said [0559], What ye shall say [0559], that will I do [06213] for you. 10 21 5 And they answered [0559] the king [04428], The man [0376] that consumed [03615] us, and that devised [01819] against us that we should be destroyed [08045] from remaining [03320] in any of the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478], 10 21 6 Let seven [07651] men [0582] of his sons [01121] be delivered [05414] unto us, and we will hang them up [03363] unto the LORD [03068] in Gibeah [01390] of Saul [07586], whom the LORD [03068] did choose [0972]. And the king [04428] said [0559], I will give [05414] them. 10 21 7 But the king [04428] spared [02550] Mephibosheth [04648], the son [01121] of Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Saul [07586], because of the LORD'S [03068] oath [07621] that was between them, between David [01732] and Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Saul [07586]. 10 21 8 But the king [04428] took [03947] the two [08147] sons [01121] of Rizpah [07532] the daughter [01323] of Aiah [0345], whom she bare [03205] unto Saul [07586], Armoni [0764] and Mephibosheth [04648]; and the five [02568] sons [01121] of Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586], whom she brought up [03205] for Adriel [05741] the son [01121] of Barzillai [01271] the Meholathite [04259]: 10 21 9 And he delivered [05414] them into the hands [03027] of the Gibeonites [01393], and they hanged [03363] them in the hill [02022] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: and they fell [05307] all seven [07651] [07659] together [03162], and were put to death [04191] in the days [03117] of harvest [07105], in the first [07223] days, in the beginning [08462] of barley [08184] harvest [07105]. 10 21 10 And Rizpah [07532] the daughter [01323] of Aiah [0345] took [03947] sackcloth [08242], and spread [05186] it for her upon the rock [06697], from the beginning [08462] of harvest [07105] until water [04325] dropped [05413] upon them out of heaven [08064], and suffered [05414] neither the birds [05775] of the air [08064] to rest [05117] on them by day [03119], nor the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] by night [03915]. 10 21 11 And it was told [05046] David [01732] what Rizpah [07532] the daughter [01323] of Aiah [0345], the concubine [06370] of Saul [07586], had done [06213]. 10 21 12 And David [01732] went [03212] and took [03947] the bones [06106] of Saul [07586] and the bones [06106] of Jonathan [03083] his son [01121] from the men [01167] of Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568], which had stolen [01589] them from the street [07339] of Bethshan [01052], where the Philistines [06430] had hanged [08511] [08518] them, when [03117] the Philistines [06430] had slain [05221] Saul [07586] in Gilboa [01533]: 10 21 13 And he brought up [05927] from thence the bones [06106] of Saul [07586] and the bones [06106] of Jonathan [03083] his son [01121]; and they gathered [0622] the bones [06106] of them that were hanged [03363]. 10 21 14 And the bones [06106] of Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] his son [01121] buried [06912] they in the country [0776] of Benjamin [01144] in Zelah [06762], in the sepulchre [06913] of Kish [07027] his father [01]: and they performed [06213] all that the king [04428] commanded [06680]. And after [0310] that God [0430] was intreated [06279] for the land [0776]. 10 21 15 Moreover the Philistines [06430] had yet war [04421] again with Israel [03478]; and David [01732] went down [03381], and his servants [05650] with him, and fought [03898] against the Philistines [06430]: and David [01732] waxed faint [05774]. 10 21 16 And Ishbibenob [03430], which was of the sons [03211] of the giant [07497], the weight [04948] of whose spear [07013] weighed three [07969] hundred [03967] shekels of brass [05178] in weight [04948], he being girded [02296] with a new [02319] sword, thought [0559] to have slain [05221] David [01732]. 10 21 17 But Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] succoured [05826] him, and smote [05221] the Philistine [06430], and killed [04191] him. Then the men [0582] of David [01732] sware [07650] unto him, saying [0559], Thou shalt go [03318] no more out with us to battle [04421], that thou quench [03518] not the light [05216] of Israel [03478]. 10 21 18 And it came to pass after this [0310], that there was again a battle [04421] with the Philistines [06430] at Gob [01359]: then Sibbechai [05444] the Hushathite [02843] slew [05221] Saph [05593], which was of the sons [03211] of the giant [07497]. 10 21 19 And there was again a battle [04421] in Gob [01359] with the Philistines [06430], where Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Jaareoregim [03296], a Bethlehemite [01022], slew [05221] the brother of Goliath [01555] the Gittite [01663], the staff [06086] of whose spear [02595] was like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500]. 10 21 20 And there was yet a battle [04421] in Gath [01661], where was a man [0376] of great stature [04067] [04055], that had on every hand [03027] six [08337] fingers [0676], and on every foot [07272] six [08337] toes [0676], four [0702] and twenty [06242] in number [04557]; and he also was born [03205] to the giant [07497]. 10 21 21 And when he defied [02778] Israel [03478], Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Shimea [08092] the brother [0251] of David [01732] slew [05221] him. 10 21 22 These four [0702] were born [03205] to the giant [07497] in Gath [01661], and fell [05307] by the hand [03027] of David [01732], and by the hand [03027] of his servants [05650]. 10 22 1 And David [01732] spake [01696] unto the LORD [03068] the words [01697] of this song [07892] in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] had delivered [05337] him out of the hand [03709] of all his enemies [0341], and out of the hand [03709] of Saul [07586]: 10 22 2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] is my rock [05553], and my fortress [04686], and my deliverer [06403]; 10 22 3 The God [0430] of my rock [06697]; in him will I trust [02620]: he is my shield [04043], and the horn [07161] of my salvation [03468], my high tower [04869], and my refuge [04498], my saviour [03467]; thou savest [03467] me from violence [02555]. 10 22 4 I will call [07121] on the LORD [03068], who is worthy to be praised [01984]: so shall I be saved [03467] from mine enemies [0341]. 10 22 5 When the waves [04867] of death [04194] compassed [0661] me, the floods [05158] of ungodly men [01100] made me afraid [01204]; 10 22 6 The sorrows [02256] of hell [07585] compassed me about [05437]; the snares [04170] of death [04194] prevented [06923] me; 10 22 7 In my distress [06862] I called [07121] upon the LORD [03068], and cried [07121] to my God [0430]: and he did hear [08085] my voice [06963] out of his temple [01964], and my cry [07775] did enter into his ears [0241]. 10 22 8 Then the earth [0776] shook [01607] [01607] and trembled [07493]; the foundations [04146] of heaven [08064] moved [07264] and shook [01607], because he was wroth [02734]. 10 22 9 There went up [05927] a smoke [06227] out of his nostrils [0639], and fire [0784] out of his mouth [06310] devoured [0398]: coals [01513] were kindled [01197] by it. 10 22 10 He bowed [05186] the heavens [08064] also, and came down [03381]; and darkness [06205] was under his feet [07272]. 10 22 11 And he rode [07392] upon a cherub [03742], and did fly [05774]: and he was seen [07200] upon the wings [03671] of the wind [07307]. 10 22 12 And he made [07896] darkness [02822] pavilions [05521] round about [05439] him, dark [02841] waters [04325], and thick clouds [05645] of the skies [07834]. 10 22 13 Through the brightness [05051] before him were coals [01513] of fire [0784] kindled [01197]. 10 22 14 The LORD [03068] thundered [07481] from heaven [08064], and the most High [05945] uttered [05414] his voice [06963]. 10 22 15 And he sent out [07971] arrows [02671], and scattered [06327] them; lightning [01300], and discomfited [02000] them. 10 22 16 And the channels [0650] of the sea [03220] appeared [07200], the foundations [04146] of the world [08398] were discovered [01540], at the rebuking [01606] of the LORD [03068], at the blast [05397] of the breath [07307] of his nostrils [0639]. 10 22 17 He sent [07971] from above [04791], he took [03947] me; he drew [04871] me out of many [07227] waters [04325]; 10 22 18 He delivered [05337] me from my strong [05794] enemy [0341], and from them that hated [08130] me: for they were too strong [0553] for me. 10 22 19 They prevented [06923] me in the day [03117] of my calamity [0343]: but the LORD [03068] was my stay [04937]. 10 22 20 He brought me forth [03318] also into a large place [04800]: he delivered [02502] me, because he delighted [02654] in me. 10 22 21 The LORD [03068] rewarded [01580] me according to my righteousness [06666]: according to the cleanness [01252] of my hands [03027] hath he recompensed [07725] me. 10 22 22 For I have kept [08104] the ways [01870] of the LORD [03068], and have not wickedly departed [07561] from my God [0430]. 10 22 23 For all his judgments [04941] were before me: and as for his statutes [02708], I did not depart [05493] from them. 10 22 24 I was also upright [08549] before him, and have kept [08104] myself from mine iniquity [05771]. 10 22 25 Therefore the LORD [03068] hath recompensed [07725] me according to my righteousness [06666]; according to my cleanness [01252] in his eye sight [05048] [05869]. 10 22 26 With the merciful [02623] thou wilt shew thyself merciful [02616], and with the upright [08549] man [01368] thou wilt shew thyself upright [08552]. 10 22 27 With the pure [01305] thou wilt shew thyself pure [01305]; and with the froward [06141] thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury [06617]. 10 22 28 And the afflicted [06041] people [05971] thou wilt save [03467]: but thine eyes [05869] are upon the haughty [07311], that thou mayest bring them down [08213]. 10 22 29 For thou art my lamp [05216], O LORD [03068]: and the LORD [03068] will lighten [05050] my darkness [02822]. 10 22 30 For by thee I have run [07323] through a troop [01416]: by my God [0430] have I leaped over [01801] a wall [07791]. 10 22 31 As for God [0410], his way [01870] is perfect [08549]; the word [0565] of the LORD [03068] is tried [06884]: he is a buckler [04043] to all them that trust [02620] in him. 10 22 32 For who is God [0410], save [01107] the LORD [03068]? and who is a rock [06697], save [01107] our God [0430]? 10 22 33 God [0410] is my strength [04581] and power [02428]: and he maketh [05425] my way [01870] perfect [08549]. 10 22 34 He maketh [07737] my feet [07272] like [07737] hinds [0355]' feet: and setteth [05975] me upon my high places [01116]. 10 22 35 He teacheth [03925] my hands [03027] to war [04421]; so that a bow [07198] of steel [05154] is broken [05181] by mine arms [02220]. 10 22 36 Thou hast also given [05414] me the shield [04043] of thy salvation [03468]: and thy gentleness [06031] [06038] hath made me great [07235]. 10 22 37 Thou hast enlarged [07337] my steps [06806] under me; so that my feet [07166] did not slip [04571]. 10 22 38 I have pursued [07291] mine enemies [0341], and destroyed [08045] them; and turned not again [07725] until I had consumed [03615] them. 10 22 39 And I have consumed [03615] them, and wounded [04272] them, that they could not arise [06965]: yea, they are fallen [05307] under my feet [07272]. 10 22 40 For thou hast girded [0247] me with strength [02428] to battle [04421]: them that rose up [06965] against me hast thou subdued [03766] under me. 10 22 41 Thou hast also given [05414] me the necks [06203] of mine enemies [0341], that I might destroy [06789] them that hate [08130] me. 10 22 42 They looked [08159], but there was none to save [03467]; even unto the LORD [03068], but he answered [06030] them not. 10 22 43 Then did I beat [07833] them as small as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], I did stamp [01854] them as the mire [02916] of the street [02351], and did spread them abroad [07554]. 10 22 44 Thou also hast delivered [06403] me from the strivings [07379] of my people [05971], thou hast kept [08104] me to be head [07218] of the heathen [01471]: a people [05971] which I knew [03045] not shall serve [05647] me. 10 22 45 Strangers [01121] [05236] shall submit [03584] themselves unto me: as soon as they hear [08085] [0241], they shall be obedient [08085] unto me. 10 22 46 Strangers [01121] [05236] shall fade away [05034], and they shall be afraid [02296] out of their close places [04526]. 10 22 47 The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]; and blessed [01288] be my rock [06697]; and exalted [07311] be the God [0430] of the rock [06697] of my salvation [03468]. 10 22 48 It is God [0410] that avengeth [05414] [05360] me, and that bringeth down [03381] the people [05971] under me, 10 22 49 And that bringeth me forth [03318] from mine enemies [0341]: thou also hast lifted me up on high [07311] above them that rose up [06965] against me: thou hast delivered [05337] me from the violent [02555] man [0376]. 10 22 50 Therefore I will give thanks [03034] unto thee, O LORD [03068], among the heathen [01471], and I will sing praises [02167] unto thy name [08034]. 10 22 51 He is the tower [04024] [01431] of salvation [03444] for his king [04428]: and sheweth [06213] mercy [02617] to his anointed [04899], unto David [01732], and to his seed [02233] for [05704] evermore [05769]. 10 23 1 Now these be the last [0314] words [01697] of David [01732]. David [01732] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] said [05002], and the man [01397] who was raised up [06965] on high [05920], the anointed [04899] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290], and the sweet [05273] psalmist [02158] of Israel [03478], said [05002], 10 23 2 The Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] spake [01696] by me, and his word [04405] was in my tongue [03956]. 10 23 3 The God [0430] of Israel [03478] said [0559], the Rock [06697] of Israel [03478] spake [01696] to me, He that ruleth [04910] over men [0120] must be just [06662], ruling [04910] in the fear [03374] of God [0430]. 10 23 4 And he shall be as the light [0216] of the morning [01242], when the sun [08121] riseth [02224], even a morning [01242] without [03808] clouds [05645]; as the tender grass [01877] springing out of the earth [0776] by clear shining [05051] after rain [04306]. 10 23 5 Although my house [01004] be not so with God [0410]; yet he hath made [07760] with me an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], ordered [06186] in all things, and sure [08104]: for this is all my salvation [03468], and all my desire [02656], although he make it not to grow [06779]. 10 23 6 But the sons of Belial [01100] shall be all of them as thorns [06975] thrust away [05074], because they cannot be taken [03947] with hands [03027]: 10 23 7 But the man [0376] that shall touch [05060] them must be fenced [04390] with iron [01270] and the staff [06086] of a spear [02595]; and they shall be utterly [08313] burned [08313] with fire [0784] in the same place [07675]. 10 23 8 These be the names [08034] of the mighty men [01368] whom David [01732] had: The Tachmonite [08461] that sat [03427] in the seat [07675] [03429], chief [07218] among the captains [07991]; the same was Adino [05722] the Eznite [06112]: he lift up his spear against eight [08083] hundred [03967], whom he slew [02491] at one [0259] time [06471]. 10 23 9 And after [0310] him was Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Dodo [01734] the Ahohite [0266], one of the three [07969] mighty men [01368] with David [01732], when they defied [02778] the Philistines [06430] that were there gathered together [0622] to battle [04421], and the men [0376] of Israel [03478] were gone away [05927]: 10 23 10 He arose [06965], and smote [05221] the Philistines [06430] until [03588] his hand [03027] was weary [03021], and his hand [03027] clave [01692] unto the sword [02719]: and the LORD [03068] wrought [06213] a great [01419] victory [08668] that day [03117]; and the people [05971] returned [07725] after [0310] him only to spoil [06584]. 10 23 11 And after [0310] him was Shammah [08048] the son [01121] of Agee [089] the Hararite [02043]. And the Philistines [06430] were gathered together [0622] into a troop [02416], where was a piece [02513] of ground [07704] full [04392] of lentiles [05742]: and the people [05971] fled [05127] from [06440] the Philistines [06430]. 10 23 12 But he stood [03320] in the midst [08432] of the ground [02513], and defended [05337] it, and slew [05221] the Philistines [06430]: and the LORD [03068] wrought [06213] a great [01419] victory [08668]. 10 23 13 And three [07969] [07970] of the thirty [07970] chief [07218] went down [03381], and came [0935] to David [01732] in the harvest time [07105] unto the cave [04631] of Adullam [05725]: and the troop [02416] of the Philistines [06430] pitched [02583] in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 10 23 14 And David [01732] was then in an hold [04686], and the garrison [04673] of the Philistines [06430] was then in Bethlehem [01035]. 10 23 15 And David [01732] longed [0183], and said [0559], Oh that one would give me drink [08248] of the water [04325] of the well [0953] of Bethlehem [01035], which is by the gate [08179]! 10 23 16 And the three [07969] mighty men [01368] brake through [01234] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430], and drew [07579] water [04325] out of the well [0953] of Bethlehem [01035], that was by the gate [08179], and took [05375] it, and brought [0935] it to David [01732]: nevertheless he would [014] not drink [08354] thereof, but poured it out [05258] unto the LORD [03068]. 10 23 17 And he said [0559], Be it far [02486] from me, O LORD [03068], that I should do [06213] this: is not this the blood [01818] of the men [0582] that went [01980] in jeopardy of their lives [05315]? therefore he would [014] not drink [08354] it. These things did [06213] these three [07969] mighty men [01368]. 10 23 18 And Abishai [052], the brother [0251] of Joab [03097], the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], was chief [07218] among three [07992]. And he lifted up [05782] his spear [02595] against three [07969] hundred [03967], and slew [02491] them, and had the name [08034] among three [07969]. 10 23 19 Was he not most honourable [03513] of three [07969]? therefore he was their captain [08269]: howbeit he attained [0935] not unto the first three [07969]. 10 23 20 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], the son [01121] of a valiant [02428] man [0376] [0381], of Kabzeel [06909], who had done many [07227] acts [06467], he slew [05221] two [08147] lionlike men [0739] of Moab [04124]: he went down [03381] also and slew [05221] a lion [0738] in the midst [08432] of a pit [0953] in time [03117] of snow [07950]: 10 23 21 And he slew [02026] an Egyptian [04713], a goodly [04758] man [0376]: and the Egyptian [04713] had a spear [02595] in his hand [03027]; but he went down [03381] to him with a staff [07626], and plucked [01497] the spear [02595] out of the Egyptian's [04713] hand [03027], and slew [05221] him with his own spear [02595]. 10 23 22 These things did [06213] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and had the name [08034] among three [07969] mighty men [01368]. 10 23 23 He was more honourable [03513] than the thirty [07970], but he attained [0935] not to the first three [07969]. And David [01732] set [07760] him over his guard [04928]. 10 23 24 Asahel [06214] the brother [0251] of Joab [03097] was one of the thirty [07970]; Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Dodo [01734] of Bethlehem [01035], 10 23 25 Shammah [08048] the Harodite [02733], Elika [0470] the Harodite [02733], 10 23 26 Helez [02503] the Paltite [06407], Ira [05896] the son [01121] of Ikkesh [06142] the Tekoite [08621], 10 23 27 Abiezer [044] the Anethothite [06069], Mebunnai [04012] the Hushathite [02843], 10 23 28 Zalmon [06756] the Ahohite [0266], Maharai [04121] the Netophathite [05200], 10 23 29 Heleb [02460] the son [01121] of Baanah [01196], a Netophathite [05200], Ittai [0863] the son [01121] of Ribai [07380] out of Gibeah [01390] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], 10 23 30 Benaiah [01141] the Pirathonite [06553], Hiddai [01914] of the brooks [05158] of Gaash [01608], 10 23 31 Abialbon [045] the Arbathite [06164], Azmaveth [05820] the Barhumite [01273], 10 23 32 Eliahba [0455] the Shaalbonite [08170], of the sons [01121] of Jashen [03464], Jonathan [03083], 10 23 33 Shammah [08048] the Hararite [02043], Ahiam [0279] the son [01121] of Sharar [08325] the Hararite [02043], 10 23 34 Eliphelet [0467] the son [01121] of Ahasbai [0308], the son [01121] of the Maachathite [04602], Eliam [0463] the son [01121] of Ahithophel [0302] the Gilonite [01526], 10 23 35 Hezrai [02695] the Carmelite [03761], Paarai [06474] the Arbite [0701], 10 23 36 Igal [03008] the son [01121] of Nathan [05416] of Zobah [06678], Bani [01137] the Gadite [01425], 10 23 37 Zelek [06768] the Ammonite [05984], Naharai [05171] the Beerothite [0886], armourbearer [05375] [03627] to Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], 10 23 38 Ira [05896] an Ithrite [03505], Gareb [01619] an Ithrite [03505], 10 23 39 Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850]: thirty [07970] and seven [07651] in all. 10 24 1 And again [03254] the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Israel [03478], and he moved [05496] David [01732] against them to say [0559], Go [03212], number [04487] Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]. 10 24 2 For the king [04428] said [0559] to Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [02428], which was with him, Go now through [07751] all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884], and number [06485] ye the people [05971], that I may know [03045] the number [04557] of the people [05971]. 10 24 3 And Joab [03097] said [0559] unto the king [04428], Now the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] add [03254] unto the people [05971], how many soever [01992] they be, an hundredfold [03967] [06471], and that the eyes [05869] of my lord [0113] the king [04428] may see [07200] it: but why doth my lord [0113] the king [04428] delight [02654] in this thing [01697]? 10 24 4 Notwithstanding the king's [04428] word [01697] prevailed [02388] against Joab [03097], and against the captains [08269] of the host [02428]. And Joab [03097] and the captains [08269] of the host [02428] went out [03318] from the presence [06440] of the king [04428], to number [06485] the people [05971] of Israel [03478]. 10 24 5 And they passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], and pitched [02583] in Aroer [06177], on the right side [03225] of the city [05892] that lieth in the midst [08432] of the river [05158] of Gad [01410], and toward Jazer [03270]: 10 24 6 Then they came [0935] to Gilead [01568], and to the land [0776] of Tahtimhodshi [08483]; and they came [0935] to Danjaan [01842], and about [05439] to Zidon [06721], 10 24 7 And came [0935] to the strong hold [04013] of Tyre [06865], and to all the cities [05892] of the Hivites [02340], and of the Canaanites [03669]: and they went out [03318] to the south [05045] of Judah [03063], even to Beersheba [0884]. 10 24 8 So when they had gone [07751] through all the land [0776], they came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] at the end [07097] of nine [08672] months [02320] and twenty [06242] days [03117]. 10 24 9 And Joab [03097] gave up [05414] the sum [04557] of the number [04662] of the people [05971] unto the king [04428]: and there were in Israel [03478] eight [08083] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] valiant [02428] men [0376] [0381] that drew [08025] the sword [02719]; and the men [0376] of Judah [03063] were five [02568] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 10 24 10 And David's [01732] heart [03820] smote [05221] him after [0310] that he had numbered [05608] the people [05971]. And David [01732] said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], I have sinned [02398] greatly [03966] in that I have done [06213]: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD [03068], take away [05674] the iniquity [05771] of thy servant [05650]; for I have done very [03966] foolishly [05528]. 10 24 11 For when David [01732] was up [06965] in the morning [01242], the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto the prophet [05030] Gad [01410], David's [01732] seer [02374], saying [0559], 10 24 12 Go [01980] and say [0559] unto David [01732], Thus saith [01696] the LORD [03068], I offer [05190] thee three [07969] things; choose [0977] thee one [0259] of them, that I may do it unto thee [06213]. 10 24 13 So Gad [01410] came [0935] to David [01732], and told [05046] him, and said [0559] unto him, Shall seven [07651] years [08141] of famine [07458] come [0935] unto thee in thy land [0776]? or wilt thou flee [05127] three [07969] months [02320] before [06440] thine enemies [06862], while they pursue [07291] thee? or that there be three [07969] days [03117]' pestilence [01698] in thy land [0776]? now advise [03045], and see [07200] what answer [01697] I shall return [07725] to him that sent [07971] me. 10 24 14 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Gad [01410], I am in a great [03966] strait [06887]: let us fall [05307] now into the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068]; for his mercies [07356] are great [07227]: and let me not fall [05307] into the hand [03027] of man [0120]. 10 24 15 So the LORD [03068] sent [05414] a pestilence [01698] upon Israel [03478] from the morning [01242] even to the time [06256] appointed [04150]: and there died [04191] of the people [05971] from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884] seventy [07657] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 10 24 16 And when the angel [04397] stretched out [07971] his hand [03027] upon Jerusalem [03389] to destroy [07843] it, the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451], and said [0559] to the angel [04397] that destroyed [07843] the people [05971], It is enough [07227]: stay [07503] now thine hand [03027]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] was by the threshingplace [01637] of Araunah [0728] the Jebusite [02983]. 10 24 17 And David [01732] spake [0559] unto the LORD [03068] when he saw [07200] the angel [04397] that smote [05221] the people [05971], and said [0559], Lo, I have sinned [02398], and I have done wickedly [05753]: but these sheep [06629], what have they done [06213]? let thine hand [03027], I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's [01] house [01004]. 10 24 18 And Gad [01410] came [0935] that day [03117] to David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927], rear [06965] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] in the threshingfloor [01637] of Araunah [0728] the Jebusite [02983]. 10 24 19 And David [01732], according to the saying [01697] of Gad [01410], went up [05927] as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]. 10 24 20 And Araunah [0728] looked [08259], and saw [07200] the king [04428] and his servants [05650] coming on [05674] toward him: and Araunah [0728] went out [03318], and bowed [07812] himself before the king [04428] on his face [0639] upon the ground [0776]. 10 24 21 And Araunah [0728] said [0559], Wherefore is my lord [0113] the king [04428] come [0935] to his servant [05650]? And David [01732] said [0559], To buy [07069] the threshingfloor [01637] of thee, to build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], that the plague [04046] may be stayed [06113] from the people [05971]. 10 24 22 And Araunah [0728] said [0559] unto David [01732], Let my lord [0113] the king [04428] take [03947] and offer up [05927] what seemeth good [02896] unto him [05869]: behold [07200], here be oxen [01241] for burnt sacrifice [05930], and threshing instruments [04173] and other instruments [03627] of the oxen [01241] for wood [06086]. 10 24 23 All these things did Araunah [0728], as a king [04428], give [05414] unto the king [04428]. And Araunah [0728] said [0559] unto the king [04428], The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] accept [07521] thee. 10 24 24 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Araunah [0728], Nay; but I will surely [07069] buy [07069] it of thee at a price [04242]: neither will I offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068] my God [0430] of that which doth cost me nothing [02600]. So David [01732] bought [07069] the threshingfloor [01637] and the oxen [01241] for fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]. 10 24 25 And David [01732] built [01129] there an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002]. So the LORD [03068] was intreated [06279] for the land [0776], and the plague [04046] was stayed [06113] from Israel [03478]. 11 1 1 Now king [04428] David [01732] was old [02204] and stricken [0935] in years [03117]; and they covered [03680] him with clothes [0899], but he gat no heat [03179]. 11 1 2 Wherefore his servants [05650] said [0559] unto him, Let there be sought [01245] for my lord [0113] the king [04428] a young [05291] virgin [01330]: and let her stand [05975] before [06440] the king [04428], and let her cherish [05532] him, and let her lie [07901] in thy bosom [02436], that my lord [0113] the king [04428] may get heat [02552]. 11 1 3 So they sought [01245] for a fair [03303] damsel [05291] throughout all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478], and found [04672] Abishag [049] a Shunammite [07767], and brought [0935] her to the king [04428]. 11 1 4 And the damsel [05291] was very [03966] fair [03303], and cherished [05532] the king [04428], and ministered [08334] to him: but the king [04428] knew [03045] her not. 11 1 5 Then Adonijah [0138] the son [01121] of Haggith [02294] exalted [04984] himself, saying [0559], I will be king [04427]: and he prepared [06213] him chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571], and fifty [02572] men [0376] to run [07323] before [06440] him. 11 1 6 And his father [01] had not displeased [06087] him at any time [03117] in saying [0559], Why hast thou done so [06213]? and he also was a very [03966] goodly [02896] [08389] man; and his mother bare [03205] him after [0310] Absalom [053]. 11 1 7 And he conferred [01697] with Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], and with Abiathar [054] the priest [03548]: and they following [0310] Adonijah [0138] helped [05826] him. 11 1 8 But Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and Shimei [08096], and Rei [07472], and the mighty men [01368] which belonged to David [01732], were not with Adonijah [0138]. 11 1 9 And Adonijah [0138] slew [02076] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241] and fat cattle [04806] by the stone [068] of Zoheleth [02120], which is by [0681] Enrogel [05883], and called [07121] all his brethren [0251] the king's [04428] sons [01121], and all the men [0582] of Judah [03063] the king's [04428] servants [05650]: 11 1 10 But Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and Benaiah [01141], and the mighty men [01368], and Solomon [08010] his brother [0251], he called [07121] not. 11 1 11 Wherefore Nathan [05416] spake [0559] unto Bathsheba [01339] the mother [0517] of Solomon [08010], saying [0559], Hast thou not heard [08085] that Adonijah [0138] the son [01121] of Haggith [02294] doth reign [04427], and David [01732] our lord [0113] knoweth [03045] it not? 11 1 12 Now therefore come [03212], let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel [03289] [06098], that thou mayest save [04422] thine own life [05315], and the life [05315] of thy son [01121] Solomon [08010]. 11 1 13 Go [03212] and get thee in [0935] unto king [04428] David [01732], and say [0559] unto him, Didst not thou, my lord [0113], O king [04428], swear [07650] unto thine handmaid [0519], saying [0559], Assuredly [03588] Solomon [08010] thy son [01121] shall reign [04427] after [0310] me, and he shall sit [03427] upon my throne [03678]? why then doth Adonijah [0138] reign [04427]? 11 1 14 Behold, while thou yet talkest [01696] there with the king [04428], I also will come in [0935] after [0310] thee, and confirm [04390] thy words [01697]. 11 1 15 And Bathsheba [01339] went in [0935] unto the king [04428] into the chamber [02315]: and the king [04428] was very [03966] old [02204]; and Abishag [049] the Shunammite [07767] ministered [08334] unto the king [04428]. 11 1 16 And Bathsheba [01339] bowed [06915], and did obeisance [07812] unto the king [04428]. And the king [04428] said [0559], What wouldest thou? 11 1 17 And she said [0559] unto him, My lord [0113], thou swarest [07650] by the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] unto thine handmaid [0519], saying, Assuredly Solomon [08010] thy son [01121] shall reign [04427] after [0310] me, and he shall sit [03427] upon my throne [03678]. 11 1 18 And now, behold, Adonijah [0138] reigneth [04427]; and now, my lord [0113] the king [04428], thou knowest [03045] it not: 11 1 19 And he hath slain [02076] oxen [07794] and fat cattle [04806] and sheep [06629] in abundance [07230], and hath called [07121] all the sons [01121] of the king [04428], and Abiathar [054] the priest [03548], and Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [06635]: but Solomon [08010] thy servant [05650] hath he not called [07121]. 11 1 20 And thou, my lord [0113], O king [04428], the eyes [05869] of all Israel [03478] are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell [05046] them who shall sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of my lord [0113] the king [04428] after [0310] him. 11 1 21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord [0113] the king [04428] shall sleep [07901] with his fathers [01], that I and my son [01121] Solomon [08010] shall be counted offenders [02400]. 11 1 22 And, lo, while she yet talked [01696] with the king [04428], Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030] also came in [0935]. 11 1 23 And they told [05046] the king [04428], saying [0559], Behold Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030]. And when he was come in [0935] before [06440] the king [04428], he bowed [07812] himself before the king [04428] with his face [0639] to the ground [0776]. 11 1 24 And Nathan [05416] said [0559], My lord [0113], O king [04428], hast thou said [0559], Adonijah [0138] shall reign [04427] after [0310] me, and he shall sit [03427] upon my throne [03678]? 11 1 25 For he is gone down [03381] this day [03117], and hath slain [02076] oxen [07794] and fat cattle [04806] and sheep [06629] in abundance [07230], and hath called [07121] all the king's [04428] sons [01121], and the captains [08269] of the host [06635], and Abiathar [054] the priest [03548]; and, behold, they eat [0398] and drink [08354] before [06440] him, and say [0559], God save [02421] king [04428] Adonijah [0138]. 11 1 26 But me, even me thy servant [05650], and Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and thy servant [05650] Solomon [08010], hath he not called [07121]. 11 1 27 Is this thing [01697] done [01961] by my lord [0113] the king [04428], and thou hast not shewed [03045] it unto thy servant [05650], who should sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of my lord [0113] the king [04428] after [0310] him? 11 1 28 Then king [04428] David [01732] answered [06030] and said [0559], Call [07121] me Bathsheba [01339]. And she came [0935] into the king's [04428] presence [06440], and stood [05975] before [06440] the king [04428]. 11 1 29 And the king [04428] sware [07650], and said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], that hath redeemed [06299] my soul [05315] out of all distress [06869], 11 1 30 Even as I sware [07650] unto thee by the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Assuredly Solomon [08010] thy son [01121] shall reign [04427] after [0310] me, and he shall sit [03427] upon my throne [03678] in my stead; even so will I certainly do [06213] this day [03117]. 11 1 31 Then Bathsheba [01339] bowed [06915] with her face [0639] to the earth [0776], and did reverence [07812] to the king [04428], and said [0559], Let my lord [0113] king [04428] David [01732] live [02421] for ever [05769]. 11 1 32 And king [04428] David [01732] said [0559], Call [07121] me Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077]. And they came [0935] before [06440] the king [04428]. 11 1 33 The king [04428] also said [0559] unto them, Take [03947] with you the servants [05650] of your lord [0113], and cause Solomon [08010] my son [01121] to ride [07392] upon mine own mule [06506], and bring him down [03381] to Gihon [01521]: 11 1 34 And let Zadok [06659] the priest [03548] and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030] anoint [04886] him there king [04428] over Israel [03478]: and blow [08628] ye with the trumpet [07782], and say [0559], God save [02421] king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 11 1 35 Then ye shall come up [05927] after [0310] him, that he may come [0935] and sit [03427] upon my throne [03678]; for he shall be king [04427] in my stead: and I have appointed [06680] him to be ruler [05057] over Israel [03478] and over Judah [03063]. 11 1 36 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] answered [06030] the king [04428], and said [0559], Amen [0543]: the LORD [03068] God [0430] of my lord [0113] the king [04428] say [0559] so too. 11 1 37 As the LORD [03068] hath been with my lord [0113] the king [04428], even so be he with Solomon [08010], and make [01431] his throne [03678] greater [01431] than the throne [03678] of my lord [0113] king [04428] David [01732]. 11 1 38 So Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and the Cherethites [03774], and the Pelethites [06432], went down [03381], and caused Solomon [08010] to ride [07392] upon king [04428] David's [01732] mule [06506], and brought [03212] him to Gihon [01521]. 11 1 39 And Zadok [06659] the priest [03548] took [03947] an horn [07161] of oil [08081] out of the tabernacle [0168], and anointed [04886] Solomon [08010]. And they blew [08628] the trumpet [07782]; and all the people [05971] said [0559], God save [02421] king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 11 1 40 And all the people [05971] came up [05927] after [0310] him, and the people [05971] piped [02490] with pipes [02485], and rejoiced [08056] with great [01419] joy [08057], so that the earth [0776] rent [01234] with the sound [06963] of them. 11 1 41 And Adonijah [0138] and all the guests [07121] that were with him heard [08085] it as they had made an end [03615] of eating [0398]. And when Joab [03097] heard [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], he said [0559], Wherefore is this noise [06963] of the city [07151] being in an uproar [01993]? 11 1 42 And while he yet spake [01696], behold, Jonathan [03129] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054] the priest [03548] came [0935]: and Adonijah [0138] said [0559] unto him, Come in [0935]; for thou art a valiant [02428] man [0376] [0381], and bringest [01319] good [02896] tidings [01319]. 11 1 43 And Jonathan [03129] answered [06030] and said [0559] to Adonijah [0138], Verily [061] our lord [0113] king [04428] David [01732] hath made Solomon [08010] king [04427]. 11 1 44 And the king [04428] hath sent [07971] with him Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and the Cherethites [03774], and the Pelethites [06432], and they have caused him to ride [07392] upon the king's [04428] mule [06506]: 11 1 45 And Zadok [06659] the priest [03548] and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030] have anointed [04886] him king [04428] in Gihon [01521]: and they are come up [05927] from thence rejoicing [08056], so that the city [07151] rang again [01949]. This is the noise [06963] that ye have heard [08085]. 11 1 46 And also Solomon [08010] sitteth [03427] on the throne [03678] of the kingdom [04410]. 11 1 47 And moreover the king's [04428] servants [05650] came [0935] to bless [01288] our lord [0113] king [04428] David [01732], saying [0559], God [0430] make the name [08034] of Solomon [08010] better [03190] than thy name [08034], and make [01431] his throne [03678] greater [01431] than thy throne [03678]. And the king [04428] bowed [07812] himself upon the bed [04904]. 11 1 48 And also thus said [0559] the king [04428], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which hath given [05414] one to sit [03427] on my throne [03678] this day [03117], mine eyes [05869] even seeing [07200] it. 11 1 49 And all the guests [07121] that were with Adonijah [0138] were afraid [02729], and rose up [06965], and went [03212] every man [0376] his way [01870]. 11 1 50 And Adonijah [0138] feared [03372] because [06440] of Solomon [08010], and arose [06965], and went [03212], and caught hold [02388] on the horns [07161] of the altar [04196]. 11 1 51 And it was told [05046] Solomon [08010], saying [0559], Behold, Adonijah [0138] feareth [03372] king [04428] Solomon [08010]: for, lo, he hath caught hold [0270] on the horns [07161] of the altar [04196], saying [0559], Let king [04428] Solomon [08010] swear [07650] unto me to day [03117] that he will not slay [04191] his servant [05650] with the sword [02719]. 11 1 52 And Solomon [08010] said [0559], If he will shew himself a worthy [02428] man [01121], there shall not an hair [08185] of him fall [05307] to the earth [0776]: but if wickedness [07451] shall be found [04672] in him, he shall die [04191]. 11 1 53 So king [04428] Solomon [08010] sent [07971], and they brought him down [03381] from the altar [04196]. And he came [0935] and bowed [07812] himself to king [04428] Solomon [08010]: and Solomon [08010] said [0559] unto him, Go [03212] to thine house [01004]. 11 2 1 Now the days [03117] of David [01732] drew nigh [07126] that he should die [04191]; and he charged [06680] Solomon [08010] his son [01121], saying [0559], 11 2 2 I go [01980] the way [01870] of all the earth [0776]: be thou strong [02388] therefore, and shew thyself a man [0376]; 11 2 3 And keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to walk [03212] in his ways [01870], to keep [08104] his statutes [02708], and his commandments [04687], and his judgments [04941], and his testimonies [05715], as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872], that thou mayest prosper [07919] in all that thou doest [06213], and whithersoever thou turnest [06437] thyself: 11 2 4 That the LORD [03068] may continue [06965] his word [01697] which he spake [01696] concerning me, saying [0559], If thy children [01121] take heed [08104] to their way [01870], to walk [03212] before [06440] me in truth [0571] with all their heart [03824] and with all their soul [05315], there shall not fail [03772] thee (said [0559] he) a man [0376] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]. 11 2 5 Moreover thou knowest [03045] also what Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] did [06213] to me, and what he did [06213] to the two [08147] captains [08269] of the hosts [06635] of Israel [03478], unto Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], and unto Amasa [06021] the son [01121] of Jether [03500], whom he slew [02026], and shed [07760] the blood [01818] of war [04421] in peace [07965], and put [05414] the blood [01818] of war [04421] upon his girdle [02290] that was about his loins [04975], and in his shoes [05275] that were on his feet [07272]. 11 2 6 Do [06213] therefore according to thy wisdom [02451], and let not his hoar head [07872] go down [03381] to the grave [07585] in peace [07965]. 11 2 7 But shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto the sons [01121] of Barzillai [01271] the Gileadite [01569], and let them be of those that eat [0398] at thy table [07979]: for so they came [07126] to me when I fled [01272] because [06440] of Absalom [053] thy brother [0251]. 11 2 8 And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei [08096] the son [01121] of Gera [01617], a Benjamite [01145] of Bahurim [0980], which cursed [07043] me with a grievous [04834] curse [07045] in the day [03117] when I went [03212] to Mahanaim [04266]: but he came down [03381] to meet [07125] me at Jordan [03383], and I sware [07650] to him by the LORD [03068], saying [0559], I will not put thee to death [04191] with the sword [02719]. 11 2 9 Now therefore hold him not guiltless [05352]: for thou art a wise [02450] man [0376], and knowest [03045] what thou oughtest to do [06213] unto him; but his hoar head [07872] bring thou down [03381] to the grave [07585] with blood [01818]. 11 2 10 So David [01732] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in the city [05892] of David [01732]. 11 2 11 And the days [03117] that David [01732] reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] were forty [0705] years [08141]: seven [07651] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Hebron [02275], and thirty [07970] and three [07969] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Jerusalem [03389]. 11 2 12 Then sat [03427] Solomon [08010] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732] his father [01]; and his kingdom [04438] was established [03559] greatly [03966]. 11 2 13 And Adonijah [0138] the son [01121] of Haggith [02294] came [0935] to Bathsheba [01339] the mother [0517] of Solomon [08010]. And she said [0559], Comest [0935] thou peaceably [07965]? And he said [0559], Peaceably [07965]. 11 2 14 He said [0559] moreover, I have somewhat to say [01697] unto thee. And she said [0559], Say on [01696]. 11 2 15 And he said [0559], Thou knowest [03045] that the kingdom [04410] was mine, and that all Israel [03478] set [07760] their faces [06440] on me, that I should reign [04427]: howbeit the kingdom [04410] is turned about [05437], and is become my brother's [0251]: for it was his from the LORD [03068]. 11 2 16 And now I ask [07592] one [0259] petition [07596] of thee, deny [07725] me [06440] not. And she said [0559] unto him, Say on [01696]. 11 2 17 And he said [0559], Speak [0559], I pray thee, unto Solomon [08010] the king [04428], (for he will not say [07725] thee [06440] nay [07725] that he give [05414] me Abishag [049] the Shunammite [07767] to wife [0802]. 11 2 18 And Bathsheba [01339] said [0559], Well [02896]; I will speak [01696] for thee unto the king [04428]. 11 2 19 Bathsheba [01339] therefore went [0935] unto king [04428] Solomon [08010], to speak [01696] unto him for Adonijah [0138]. And the king [04428] rose up [06965] to meet [07125] her, and bowed [07812] himself unto her, and sat down [03427] on his throne [03678], and caused a seat [03678] to be set [07760] for the king's [04428] mother [0517]; and she sat [03427] on his right hand [03225]. 11 2 20 Then she said [0559], I desire [07592] one [0259] small [06996] petition [07596] of thee; I pray thee, say [07725] me [06440] not nay [07725]. And the king [04428] said [0559] unto her, Ask on [07592], my mother [0517]: for I will not say [07725] thee [06440] nay [07725]. 11 2 21 And she said [0559], Let Abishag [049] the Shunammite [07767] be given [05414] to Adonijah [0138] thy brother [0251] to wife [0802]. 11 2 22 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto his mother [0517], And why dost thou ask [07592] Abishag [049] the Shunammite [07767] for Adonijah [0138]? ask [07592] for him the kingdom [04410] also; for he is mine elder [01419] brother [0251]; even for him, and for Abiathar [054] the priest [03548], and for Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870]. 11 2 23 Then king [04428] Solomon [08010] sware [07650] by the LORD [03068], saying [0559], God [0430] do [06213] so to me, and more also [03254], if Adonijah [0138] have not spoken [01696] this word [01697] against his own life [05315]. 11 2 24 Now therefore, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which hath established [03559] me, and set [03427] me on the throne [03678] of David [01732] my father [01], and who hath made [06213] me an house [01004], as he promised [01696], Adonijah [0138] shall be put to death [04191] this day [03117]. 11 2 25 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] sent [07971] by the hand [03027] of Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077]; and he fell [06293] upon him that he died [04191]. 11 2 26 And unto Abiathar [054] the priest [03548] said [0559] the king [04428], Get [03212] thee to Anathoth [06068], unto thine own fields [07704]; for thou art worthy [0376] of death [04194]: but I will not at this time [03117] put thee to death [04191], because thou barest [05375] the ark [0727] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] before [06440] David [01732] my father [01], and because thou hast been afflicted [06031] in all wherein my father [01] was afflicted [06031]. 11 2 27 So Solomon [08010] thrust out [01644] Abiathar [054] from being priest [03548] unto the LORD [03068]; that he might fulfil [04390] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] concerning the house [01004] of Eli [05941] in Shiloh [07887]. 11 2 28 Then tidings [08052] came [0935] to Joab [03097]: for Joab [03097] had turned [05186] after [0310] Adonijah [0138], though he turned [05186] not after [0310] Absalom [053]. And Joab [03097] fled [05127] unto the tabernacle [0168] of the LORD [03068], and caught hold [02388] on the horns [07161] of the altar [04196]. 11 2 29 And it was told [05046] king [04428] Solomon [08010] that Joab [03097] was fled [05127] unto the tabernacle [0168] of the LORD [03068]; and, behold, he is by [0681] the altar [04196]. Then Solomon [08010] sent [07971] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], saying [0559], Go [03212], fall [06293] upon him. 11 2 30 And Benaiah [01141] came [0935] to the tabernacle [0168] of the LORD [03068], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Come forth [03318]. And he said [0559], Nay; but I will die [04191] here. And Benaiah [01141] brought [07725] the king [04428] word [01697] again [07725], saying [0559], Thus said [01696] Joab [03097], and thus he answered [06030] me. 11 2 31 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Do [06213] as he hath said [01696], and fall [06293] upon him, and bury [06912] him; that thou mayest take away [05493] the innocent [02600] blood [01818], which Joab [03097] shed [08210], from me, and from the house [01004] of my father [01]. 11 2 32 And the LORD [03068] shall return [07725] his blood [01818] upon his own head [07218], who fell [06293] upon two [08147] men [0582] more righteous [06662] and better [02896] than he, and slew [02026] them with the sword [02719], my father [01] David [01732] not knowing [03045] thereof, to wit, Abner [074] the son [01121] of Ner [05369], captain [08269] of the host [06635] of Israel [03478], and Amasa [06021] the son [01121] of Jether [03500], captain [08269] of the host [06635] of Judah [03063]. 11 2 33 Their blood [01818] shall therefore return [07725] upon the head [07218] of Joab [03097], and upon the head [07218] of his seed [02233] for ever [05769]: but upon David [01732], and upon his seed [02233], and upon his house [01004], and upon his throne [03678], shall there be peace [07965] for [05704] ever [05769] from the LORD [03068]. 11 2 34 So Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] went up [05927], and fell [06293] upon him, and slew [04191] him: and he was buried [06912] in his own house [01004] in the wilderness [04057]. 11 2 35 And the king [04428] put [05414] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] in his room over the host [06635]: and Zadok [06659] the priest [03548] did the king [04428] put [05414] in the room of Abiathar [054]. 11 2 36 And the king [04428] sent [07971] and called [07121] for Shimei [08096], and said [0559] unto him, Build [01129] thee an house [01004] in Jerusalem [03389], and dwell [03427] there, and go not forth [03318] thence any whither [0575]. 11 2 37 For it shall be, that on the day [03117] thou goest out [03318], and passest over [05674] the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], thou shalt know [03045] for certain [03045] that thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]: thy blood [01818] shall be upon thine own head [07218]. 11 2 38 And Shimei [08096] said [0559] unto the king [04428], The saying [01697] is good [02896]: as my lord [0113] the king [04428] hath said [01696], so will thy servant [05650] do [06213]. And Shimei [08096] dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] many [07227] days [03117]. 11 2 39 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of three [07969] years [08141], that two [08147] of the servants [05650] of Shimei [08096] ran away [01272] unto Achish [0397] son [01121] of Maachah [04601] king [04428] of Gath [01661]. And they told [05046] Shimei [08096], saying [0559], Behold, thy servants [05650] be in Gath [01661]. 11 2 40 And Shimei [08096] arose [06965], and saddled [02280] his ass [02543], and went [03212] to Gath [01661] to Achish [0397] to seek [01245] his servants [05650]: and Shimei [08096] went [03212], and brought [0935] his servants [05650] from Gath [01661]. 11 2 41 And it was told [05046] Solomon [08010] that Shimei [08096] had gone [01980] from Jerusalem [03389] to Gath [01661], and was come again [07725]. 11 2 42 And the king [04428] sent [07971] and called [07121] for Shimei [08096], and said [0559] unto him, Did I not make thee to swear [07650] by the LORD [03068], and protested [05749] unto thee, saying [0559], Know [03045] for a certain [03045], on the day [03117] thou goest out [03318], and walkest [01980] abroad any whither [0575], that thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]? and thou saidst [0559] unto me, The word [01697] that I have heard [08085] is good [02896]. 11 2 43 Why then hast thou not kept [08104] the oath [07621] of the LORD [03068], and the commandment [04687] that I have charged [06680] thee with? 11 2 44 The king [04428] said [0559] moreover to Shimei [08096], Thou knowest [03045] all the wickedness [07451] which thine heart [03824] is privy to [03045], that thou didst [06213] to David [01732] my father [01]: therefore the LORD [03068] shall return [07725] thy wickedness [07451] upon thine own head [07218]; 11 2 45 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] shall be blessed [01288], and the throne [03678] of David [01732] shall be established [03559] before [06440] the LORD [03068] for [05704] ever [05769]. 11 2 46 So the king [04428] commanded [06680] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077]; which went out [03318], and fell [06293] upon him, that he died [04191]. And the kingdom [04467] was established [03559] in the hand [03027] of Solomon [08010]. 11 3 1 And Solomon [08010] made affinity [02859] with Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and took [03947] Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323], and brought [0935] her into the city [05892] of David [01732], until he had made an end [03615] of building [01129] his own house [01004], and the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] round about [05439]. 11 3 2 Only the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] in high places [01116], because there was no house [01004] built [01129] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], until those days [03117]. 11 3 3 And Solomon [08010] loved [0157] the LORD [03068], walking [03212] in the statutes [02708] of David [01732] his father [01]: only he sacrificed [02076] and burnt incense [06999] in high places [01116]. 11 3 4 And the king [04428] went [03212] to Gibeon [01391] to sacrifice [02076] there; for that [01931] was the great [01419] high place [01116]: a thousand [0505] burnt offerings [05930] did Solomon [08010] offer [05927] upon that altar [04196]. 11 3 5 In Gibeon [01391] the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Solomon [08010] in a dream [02472] by night [03915]: and God [0430] said [0559], Ask [07592] what I shall give [05414] thee. 11 3 6 And Solomon [08010] said [0559], Thou hast shewed [06213] unto thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01] great [01419] mercy [02617], according as he walked [01980] before [06440] thee in truth [0571], and in righteousness [06666], and in uprightness [03483] of heart [03824] with thee; and thou hast kept [08104] for him this great [01419] kindness [02617], that thou hast given [05414] him a son [01121] to sit [03427] on his throne [03678], as it is this day [03117]. 11 3 7 And now, O LORD [03068] my God [0430], thou hast made thy servant [05650] king [04427] instead of David [01732] my father [01]: and I am but a little [06996] child [05288]: I know [03045] not how to go out [03318] or come in [0935]. 11 3 8 And thy servant [05650] is in the midst [08432] of thy people [05971] which thou hast chosen [0977], a great [07227] people [05971], that cannot be numbered [04487] nor counted [05608] for multitude [07230]. 11 3 9 Give [05414] therefore thy servant [05650] an understanding [08085] heart [03820] to judge [08199] thy people [05971], that I may discern [0995] between good [02896] and bad [07451]: for who is able [03201] to judge [08199] this thy so great [03515] a people [05971]? 11 3 10 And the speech [01697] pleased [03190] [05869] the Lord [0136], that Solomon [08010] had asked [07592] this thing [01697]. 11 3 11 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Because thou hast asked [07592] this thing [01697], and hast not asked [07592] for thyself long [07227] life [03117]; neither hast asked [07592] riches [06239] for thyself, nor hast asked [07592] the life [05315] of thine enemies [0341]; but hast asked [07592] for thyself understanding [0995] to discern [08085] judgment [04941]; 11 3 12 Behold, I have done [06213] according to thy words [01697]: lo, I have given [05414] thee a wise [02450] and an understanding [0995] heart [03820]; so that there was none like thee before [06440] thee, neither after [0310] thee shall any arise [06965] like unto thee. 11 3 13 And I have also given [05414] thee that which thou hast not asked [07592], both riches [06239], and honour [03519]: so that there shall not be any [0376] among the kings [04428] like unto thee all thy days [03117]. 11 3 14 And if thou wilt walk [03212] in my ways [01870], to keep [08104] my statutes [02706] and my commandments [04687], as thy father [01] David [01732] did walk [01980], then I will lengthen [0748] thy days [03117]. 11 3 15 And Solomon [08010] awoke [03364]; and, behold, it was a dream [02472]. And he came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and stood [05975] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and offered up [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and offered [06213] peace offerings [08002], and made [06213] a feast [04960] to all his servants [05650]. 11 3 16 Then came [0935] there two [08147] women [0802], that were harlots [02181], unto the king [04428], and stood [05975] before [06440] him. 11 3 17 And the one [0259] woman [0802] said [0559], O [0994] my lord [0113], I and this woman [0802] dwell [03427] in one [0259] house [01004]; and I was delivered of a child [03205] with her in the house [01004]. 11 3 18 And it came to pass the third [07992] day [03117] after that I was delivered [03205], that this woman [0802] was delivered [03205] also: and we were together [03162]; there was no stranger [02114] with us in the house [01004], save [02108] we two [08147] in the house [01004]. 11 3 19 And this woman's [0802] child [01121] died [04191] in the night [03915]; because she overlaid [07901] it. 11 3 20 And she arose [06965] at midnight [08432] [03915], and took [03947] my son [01121] from beside [0681] me, while thine handmaid [0519] slept [03463], and laid [07901] it in her bosom [02436], and laid [07901] her dead [04191] child [01121] in my bosom [02436]. 11 3 21 And when I rose [06965] in the morning [01242] to give my child [01121] suck [03243], behold, it was dead [04191]: but when I had considered [0995] it in the morning [01242], behold, it was not my son [01121], which I did bear [03205]. 11 3 22 And the other [0312] woman [0802] said [0559], Nay; but the living [02416] is my son [01121], and the dead [04191] is thy son [01121]. And this said [0559], No; but the dead [04191] is thy son [01121], and the living [02416] is my son [01121]. Thus they spake [01696] before [06440] the king [04428]. 11 3 23 Then said [0559] the king [04428], The one [02063] saith [0559], This is my son [01121] that liveth [02416], and thy son [01121] is the dead [04191]: and the other [02063] saith [0559], Nay; but thy son [01121] is the dead [04191], and my son [01121] is the living [02416]. 11 3 24 And the king [04428] said [0559], Bring [03947] me a sword [02719]. And they brought [0935] a sword [02719] before [06440] the king [04428]. 11 3 25 And the king [04428] said [0559], Divide [01504] the living [02416] child [03206] in two [08147], and give [05414] half [02677] to the one [0259], and half [02677] to the other [0259]. 11 3 26 Then spake [0559] the woman [0802] whose the living [02416] child [01121] was unto the king [04428], for her bowels [07356] yearned [03648] upon her son [01121], and she said [0559], O [0994] my lord [0113], give [05414] her the living [02416] child [03205], and in no wise [04191] slay [04191] it. But the other said [0559], Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide [01504] it. 11 3 27 Then the king [04428] answered [06030] and said [0559], Give [05414] her the living [02416] child [03205], and in no wise [04191] slay [04191] it: she is the mother [0517] thereof. 11 3 28 And all Israel [03478] heard [08085] of the judgment [04941] which the king [04428] had judged [08199]; and they feared [03372] the king [06440]: for they saw [07200] that the wisdom [02451] of God [0430] was in him [07130], to do [06213] judgment [04941]. 11 4 1 So king [04428] Solomon [08010] was king [04428] over all Israel [03478]. 11 4 2 And these were the princes [08269] which he had; Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], 11 4 3 Elihoreph [0456] and Ahiah [0281], the sons [01121] of Shisha [07894], scribes [05608]; Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Ahilud [0286], the recorder [02142]. 11 4 4 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over the host [06635]: and Zadok [06659] and Abiathar [054] were the priests [03548]: 11 4 5 And Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Nathan [05416] was over the officers [05324]: and Zabud [02071] the son [01121] of Nathan [05416] was principal officer [03548], and the king's [04428] friend [07463]: 11 4 6 And Ahishar [0301] was over the household [01004]: and Adoniram [0141] the son [01121] of Abda [05653] was over the tribute [04522]. 11 4 7 And Solomon [08010] had twelve [08147] [06240] officers [05324] over all Israel [03478], which provided victuals [03557] for the king [04428] and his household [01004]: each man [0259] his month [02320] in a year [08141] made provision [03557]. 11 4 8 And these are their names [08034]: The son of Hur [01133], in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]: 11 4 9 The son of Dekar [01128] [01857], in Makaz [04739], and in Shaalbim [08169], and Bethshemesh [01053], and Elonbethhanan [0358]: 11 4 10 The son of Hesed [01136] [02618], in Aruboth [0700]; to him pertained Sochoh [07755], and all the land [0776] of Hepher [02660]: 11 4 11 The son of Abinadab [01125], in all the region [05299] of Dor [01756]; which had Taphath [02955] the daughter [01323] of Solomon [08010] to wife [0802]: 11 4 12 Baana [01195] the son [01121] of Ahilud [0286]; to him pertained Taanach [08590] and Megiddo [04023], and all Bethshean [01052], which is by [0681] Zartanah [06891] beneath Jezreel [03157], from Bethshean [01052] to Abelmeholah [065], even unto the place that is beyond [05676] Jokneam [03361]: 11 4 13 The son of Geber [01127], in Ramothgilead [01568] [07433]; to him pertained the towns [02333] of Jair [02971] the son [01121] of Manasseh [04519], which are in Gilead [01568]; to him also pertained the region [02256] of Argob [0709], which is in Bashan [01316], threescore [08346] great [01419] cities [05892] with walls [02346] and brasen [05178] bars [01280]: 11 4 14 Ahinadab [0292] the son [01121] of Iddo [05714] had Mahanaim [04266]: 11 4 15 Ahimaaz [0290] was in Naphtali [05321]; he also took [03947] Basmath [01315] the daughter [01323] of Solomon [08010] to wife [0802]: 11 4 16 Baanah [01195] the son [01121] of Hushai [02365] was in Asher [0836] and in Aloth [01175]: 11 4 17 Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Paruah [06515], in Issachar [03485]: 11 4 18 Shimei [08096] the son [01121] of Elah [0414], in Benjamin [01144]: 11 4 19 Geber [01398] the son [01121] of Uri [0221] was in the country [0776] of Gilead [01568], in the country [0776] of Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316]; and he was the only [0259] officer [05333] which was in the land [0776]. 11 4 20 Judah [03063] and Israel [03478] were many [07227], as the sand [02344] which is by the sea [03220] in multitude [07230], eating [0398] and drinking [08354], and making merry [08056]. 11 4 21 And Solomon [08010] reigned [04910] over all kingdoms [04467] from the river [05104] unto the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and unto the border [01366] of Egypt [04714]: they brought [05066] presents [04503], and served [05647] Solomon [08010] all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 11 4 22 And Solomon's [08010] provision [03899] for one [0259] day [03117] was thirty [07970] measures [03734] of fine flour [05560], and threescore [08346] measures [03734] of meal [07058], 11 4 23 Ten [06235] fat [01277] oxen [01241], and twenty [06242] oxen [01241] out of the pastures [07471], and an hundred [03967] sheep [06629], beside harts [0354], and roebucks [06643], and fallowdeer [03180], and fatted [075] fowl [01257]. 11 4 24 For he had dominion [07287] over all the region on this side [05676] the river [05104], from Tiphsah [08607] even to Azzah [05804], over all the kings [04428] on this side [05676] the river [05104]: and he had peace [07965] on all sides [05650] [05676] round about [05439] him. 11 4 25 And Judah [03063] and Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] safely [0983], every man [0376] under his vine [01612] and under his fig tree [08384], from Dan [01835] even to Beersheba [0884], all the days [03117] of Solomon [08010]. 11 4 26 And Solomon [08010] had forty [0705] thousand [0505] stalls [0723] of horses [05483] for his chariots [04817], and twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571]. 11 4 27 And those officers [05324] provided victual [03557] for king [04428] Solomon [08010], and for all that came [07131] unto king [04428] Solomon's [08010] table [07979], every man [0376] in his month [02320]: they lacked [05737] nothing [01697]. 11 4 28 Barley [08184] also and straw [08401] for the horses [05483] and dromedaries [07409] brought [0935] they unto the place [04725] where the officers were, every man [0376] according to his charge [04941]. 11 4 29 And God [0430] gave [05414] Solomon [08010] wisdom [02451] and understanding [08394] exceeding [03966] much [07235], and largeness [07341] of heart [03820], even as the sand [02344] that is on the sea [03220] shore [08193]. 11 4 30 And Solomon's [08010] wisdom [02451] excelled [07235] the wisdom [02451] of all the children [01121] of the east country [06924], and all the wisdom [02451] of Egypt [04714]. 11 4 31 For he was wiser [02449] than all men [0120]; than Ethan [0387] the Ezrahite [0250], and Heman [01968], and Chalcol [03633], and Darda [01862], the sons [01121] of Mahol [04235]: and his fame [08034] was in all nations [01471] round about [05439]. 11 4 32 And he spake [01696] three [07969] thousand [0505] proverbs [04912]: and his songs [07892] were a thousand [0505] and five [02568]. 11 4 33 And he spake [01696] of trees [06086], from the cedar tree [0730] that is in Lebanon [03844] even unto the hyssop [0231] that springeth out [03318] of the wall [07023]: he spake [01696] also of beasts [0929], and of fowl [05775], and of creeping things [07431], and of fishes [01709]. 11 4 34 And there came [0935] of all people [05971] to hear [08085] the wisdom [02451] of Solomon [08010], from all kings [04428] of the earth [0776], which had heard [08085] of his wisdom [02451]. 11 5 1 And Hiram [02438] king [04428] of Tyre [06865] sent [07971] his servants [05650] unto Solomon [08010]; for he had heard [08085] that they had anointed [04886] him king [04428] in the room of his father [01]: for Hiram [02438] was ever [03117] a lover [0157] of David [01732]. 11 5 2 And Solomon [08010] sent [07971] to Hiram [02438], saying [0559], 11 5 3 Thou knowest [03045] how that David [01732] my father [01] could [03201] not build [01129] an house [01004] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430] for [06440] the wars [04421] which were about him on every side [05437], until the LORD [03068] put [05414] them under the soles [03709] of his feet [07272]. 11 5 4 But now the LORD [03068] my God [0430] hath given me rest [05117] on every side [05439], so that there is neither adversary [07854] nor evil [07451] occurrent [06294]. 11 5 5 And, behold, I purpose [0559] to build [01129] an house [01004] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], as the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto David [01732] my father [01], saying [0559], Thy son [01121], whom I will set [05414] upon thy throne [03678] in thy room, he shall build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034]. 11 5 6 Now therefore command [06680] thou that they hew [03772] me cedar trees [0730] out of Lebanon [03844]; and my servants [05650] shall be with thy servants [05650]: and unto thee will I give [05414] hire [07939] for thy servants [05650] according to all that thou shalt appoint [0559]: for thou knowest [03045] that there is not among us any [0376] that can skill [03045] to hew [03772] timber [06086] like unto the Sidonians [06722]. 11 5 7 And it came to pass, when Hiram [02438] heard [08085] the words [01697] of Solomon [08010], that he rejoiced [08055] greatly [03966], and said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] this day [03117], which hath given [05414] unto David [01732] a wise [02450] son [01121] over this great [07227] people [05971]. 11 5 8 And Hiram [02438] sent [07971] to Solomon [08010], saying [0559], I have considered [08085] the things which thou sentest [07971] to me for: and I will do [06213] all thy desire [02656] concerning timber [06086] of cedar [0730], and concerning timber [06086] of fir [01265]. 11 5 9 My servants [05650] shall bring them down [03381] from Lebanon [03844] unto the sea [03220]: and I will convey [07760] them by sea [03220] in floats [01702] unto the place [04725] that thou shalt appoint [07971] me, and will cause them to be discharged [05310] there, and thou shalt receive [05375] them: and thou shalt accomplish [06213] my desire [02656], in giving [05414] food [03899] for my household [01004]. 11 5 10 So Hiram [02438] gave [05414] Solomon [08010] cedar [0730] trees [06086] and fir [01265] trees [06086] according to all his desire [02656]. 11 5 11 And Solomon [08010] gave [05414] Hiram [02438] twenty [06242] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of wheat [02406] for food [04361] to his household [01004], and twenty [06242] measures [03734] of pure [03795] oil [08081]: thus gave [05414] Solomon [08010] to Hiram [02438] year [08141] by year [08141]. 11 5 12 And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] Solomon [08010] wisdom [02451], as he promised [01696] him: and there was peace [07965] between Hiram [02438] and Solomon [08010]; and they two [08147] made [03772] a league [01285] together [08147]. 11 5 13 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] raised [05927] a levy [04522] out of all Israel [03478]; and the levy [04522] was thirty [07970] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 11 5 14 And he sent [07971] them to Lebanon [03844], ten [06235] thousand [0505] a month [02320] by courses [02487]: a month [02320] they were in Lebanon [03844], and two [08147] months [02320] at home [01004]: and Adoniram [0141] was over the levy [04522]. 11 5 15 And Solomon [08010] had threescore and ten [07657] thousand [0505] that bare [05375] burdens [05449], and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] hewers [02672] in the mountains [02022]; 11 5 16 Beside the chief [08269] of Solomon's [08010] officers [05324] which were over the work [04399], three [07969] thousand [0505] and three [07969] hundred [03967], which ruled [07287] over the people [05971] that wrought [06213] in the work [04399]. 11 5 17 And the king [04428] commanded [06680], and they brought [05265] great [01419] stones [068], costly [03368] stones [068], and hewed [01496] stones [068], to lay the foundation [03245] of the house [01004]. 11 5 18 And Solomon's [08010] builders [01129] and Hiram's [02438] builders [01129] did hew [06458] them, and the stonesquarers [01382]: so they prepared [03559] timber [06086] and stones [068] to build [01129] the house [01004]. 11 6 1 And it came to pass in the four [0702] hundred [03967] [08141] and eightieth [08084] year [08141] after the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were come out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Solomon's [08010] reign [04427] over Israel [03478], in the month [02320] Zif [02099], which is the second [08145] month [02320], that he began to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 11 6 2 And the house [01004] which king [04428] Solomon [08010] built [01129] for the LORD [03068], the length [0753] thereof was threescore [08346] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof twenty [06242] cubits, and the height [06967] thereof thirty [07970] cubits [0520]. 11 6 3 And the porch [0197] before [06440] the temple [01964] of the house [01004], twenty [06242] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] thereof, according to the breadth [07341] of the house [01004]; and ten [06235] cubits [0520] was the breadth [07341] thereof before the house [01004]. 11 6 4 And for the house [01004] he made [06213] windows [02474] of narrow [0331] lights [08261]. 11 6 5 And against the wall [07023] of the house [01004] he built [01129] chambers [03326] [03326] round about [05439], against the walls [07023] of the house [01004] round about [05439], both of the temple [01964] and of the oracle [01687]: and he made [06213] chambers [06763] round about [05439]: 11 6 6 The nethermost [08481] chamber [03326] [03326] was five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and the middle [08484] was six [08337] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and the third [07992] was seven [07651] cubits [0520] broad [07341]: for without in the wall of [02351] the house [01004] he made [05414] narrowed rests [04052] round about [05439], that the beams should not be fastened [0270] in the walls [07023] of the house [01004]. 11 6 7 And the house [01004], when it was in building [01129], was built [01129] of stone [068] made ready [08003] before it was brought [04551] thither: so that there was neither hammer [04717] nor axe [01631] nor any tool [03627] of iron [01270] heard [08085] in the house [01004], while it was in building [01129]. 11 6 8 The door [06607] for the middle [08484] chamber [06763] was in the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004]: and they went up [05927] with winding stairs [03883] into the middle [08484] chamber, and out of the middle [08484] into the third [07992]. 11 6 9 So he built [01129] the house [01004], and finished [03615] it; and covered [05603] the house [01004] with beams [01356] and boards [07713] of cedar [0730]. 11 6 10 And then he built [01129] chambers [03326] [03326] against all the house [01004], five [02568] cubits [0520] high [06967]: and they rested [0270] on the house [01004] with timber [06086] of cedar [0730]. 11 6 11 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Solomon [08010], saying [0559], 11 6 12 Concerning this house [01004] which thou art in building [01129], if thou wilt walk [03212] in my statutes [02708], and execute [06213] my judgments [04941], and keep [08104] all my commandments [04687] to walk [03212] in them; then will I perform [06965] my word [01697] with thee, which I spake [01696] unto David [01732] thy father [01]: 11 6 13 And I will dwell [07931] among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and will not forsake [05800] my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 11 6 14 So Solomon [08010] built [01129] the house [01004], and finished [03615] it. 11 6 15 And he built [01129] the walls [07023] of the house [01004] within [01004] with boards [06763] of cedar [0730], both the floor [07172] of the house [01004], and the walls [07023] of the cieling [05604]: and he covered [06823] them on the inside [01004] with wood [06086], and covered [06823] the floor [07172] of the house [01004] with planks [06763] of fir [01265]. 11 6 16 And he built [01129] twenty [06242] cubits [0520] on the sides [03411] of the house [01004], both [04480] the floor [07172] and the walls [07023] with boards [06763] of cedar [0730]: he even built [01129] them for it within [01004], even for the oracle [01687], even for the most [06944] holy [06944] place. 11 6 17 And the house [01004], that is, the temple [01964] before [03942] it, was forty [0705] cubits [0520] long. 11 6 18 And the cedar [0730] of the house [01004] within [06441] was carved [04734] with knops [06497] and open [06362] flowers [06731]: all was cedar [0730]; there was no stone [068] seen [07200]. 11 6 19 And the oracle [01687] he prepared [03559] in [08432] the house [01004] within [06441], to set [05414] there the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068]. 11 6 20 And the oracle [01687] in the forepart [06440] was twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in length [0753], and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in breadth [07341], and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] in the height [06967] thereof: and he overlaid [06823] it with pure [05462] gold [02091]; and so covered [06823] the altar [04196] which was of cedar [0730]. 11 6 21 So Solomon [08010] overlaid [06823] the house [01004] within [06441] with pure [05462] gold [02091]: and he made a partition [05674] by the chains [07572] [07572] of gold [02091] before [06440] the oracle [01687]; and he overlaid [06823] it with gold [02091]. 11 6 22 And the whole house [01004] he overlaid [06823] with gold [02091], until he had finished [08552] all the house [01004]: also the whole altar [04196] that was by the oracle [01687] he overlaid [06823] with gold [02091]. 11 6 23 And within the oracle [01687] he made [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of olive [08081] tree [06086], each ten [06235] cubits [0520] high [06967]. 11 6 24 And five [02568] cubits [0520] was the one [0259] wing [03671] of the cherub [03742], and five [02568] cubits [0520] the other [08145] wing [03671] of the cherub [03742]: from the uttermost part [07098] of the one wing [03671] unto the uttermost part [07098] of the other [03671] were ten [06235] cubits [0520]. 11 6 25 And the other [08145] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520]: both [08147] the cherubims [03742] were of one [0259] measure [04060] and one [0259] size [07095]. 11 6 26 The height [06967] of the one [0259] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520], and so was it of the other [08145] cherub [03742]. 11 6 27 And he set [05414] the cherubims [03742] within [08432] the inner [06442] house [01004]: and they stretched forth [06566] the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742], so that the wing [03671] of the one [0259] touched [05060] the one wall [07023], and the wing [03671] of the other [08145] cherub [03742] touched [05060] the other [08145] wall [07023]; and their wings [03671] touched [05060] one [03671] another [03671] in the midst [08432] of the house [01004]. 11 6 28 And he overlaid [06823] the cherubims [03742] with gold [02091]. 11 6 29 And he carved [07049] all the walls [07023] of the house [01004] round about [04524] with carved [06603] figures [04734] of cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731], within [06441] and without [02435]. 11 6 30 And the floor [07172] of the house [01004] he overlaid [06823] with gold [02091], within [06441] and without [02435]. 11 6 31 And for the entering [06607] of the oracle [01687] he made [06213] doors [01817] of olive [08081] tree [06086]: the lintel [0352] and side posts [04201] were a fifth part [02549] of the wall. 11 6 32 The two [08147] doors [01817] also were of olive [08081] tree [06086]; and he carved [07049] upon them carvings [04734] of cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091], and spread [07286] gold [02091] upon the cherubims [03742], and upon the palm trees [08561]. 11 6 33 So also made [06213] he for the door [06607] of the temple [01964] posts [04201] of olive [08081] tree [06086], a fourth part [07243] of the wall. 11 6 34 And the two [08147] doors [01817] were of fir [01265] tree [06086]: the two [08147] leaves [06763] of the one [0259] door [01817] were folding [01550], and the two [08147] leaves [07050] of the other [08145] door [01817] were folding [01550]. 11 6 35 And he carved [07049] thereon cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] and open [06362] flowers [06731]: and covered [06823] them with gold [02091] fitted [03474] upon the carved work [02707]. 11 6 36 And he built [01129] the inner [06442] court [02691] with three [07969] rows [02905] of hewed stone [01496], and a row [02905] of cedar [0730] beams [03773]. 11 6 37 In the fourth [07243] year [08141] was the foundation [03245] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] laid [03245], in the month [03391] Zif [02099]: 11 6 38 And in the eleventh [0259] [06240] year [08141], in the month [03391] Bul [0945], which is the eighth [08066] month [02320], was the house [01004] finished [03615] throughout all the parts [01697] thereof, and according to all the fashion [04941] of it. So was he seven [07651] years [08141] in building [01129] it. 11 7 1 But Solomon [08010] was building [01129] his own house [01004] thirteen [07969] [06240] years [08141], and he finished [03615] all his house [01004]. 11 7 2 He built [01129] also the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844]; the length [0753] thereof was an hundred [03967] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] thereof thirty [07970] cubits [0520], upon four [0702] rows [02905] of cedar [0730] pillars [05982], with cedar [0730] beams [03773] upon the pillars [05982]. 11 7 3 And it was covered [05603] with cedar [0730] above [04605] upon the beams [06763], that lay on forty [0705] five [02568] pillars [05982], fifteen [06240] in a row [02905]. 11 7 4 And there were windows [08261] in three [07969] rows [02905], and light [04237] was against light [04237] in three [07969] ranks [06471]. 11 7 5 And all the doors [06607] and posts [04201] were square [07251], with the windows [08260]: and light [04237] was against [04136] light [04237] in three [07969] ranks [06471]. 11 7 6 And he made [06213] a porch [0197] of pillars [05982]; the length [0753] thereof was fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof thirty [07970] cubits [0520]: and the porch [0197] was before [06440] them: and the other pillars [05982] and the thick beam [05646] were before them. 11 7 7 Then he made [06213] a porch [0197] for the throne [03678] where he might judge [08199], even the porch [0197] of judgment [04941]: and it was covered [05603] with cedar [0730] from one side of the floor [07172] to the other [07172]. 11 7 8 And his house [01004] where he dwelt [03427] had another [0312] court [02691] within [01004] the porch [0197], which was of the like work [04639]. Solomon [08010] made [06213] also an house [01004] for Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323], whom he had taken [03947] to wife, like unto this porch [0197]. 11 7 9 All these were of costly [03368] stones [068], according to the measures [04060] of hewed stones [01496], sawed [01641] with saws [04050], within [01004] and without [02351], even from the foundation [04527] unto the coping [02947], and so on the outside [02351] toward the great [01419] court [02691]. 11 7 10 And the foundation [03245] was of costly [03368] stones [068], even great [01419] stones [068], stones [068] of ten [06235] cubits [0520], and stones [068] of eight [08083] cubits [0520]. 11 7 11 And above [04605] were costly [03368] stones [068], after the measures [04060] of hewed stones [01496], and cedars [0730]. 11 7 12 And the great [01419] court [02691] round about [05439] was with three [07969] rows [02905] of hewed stones [01496], and a row [02905] of cedar [0730] beams [03773], both for the inner [06442] court [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and for the porch [0197] of the house [01004]. 11 7 13 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] sent [07971] and fetched [03947] Hiram [02438] out of Tyre [06865]. 11 7 14 He was a widow's [0802] [0490] son [01121] of the tribe [04294] of Naphtali [05321], and his father [01] was a man [0376] of Tyre [06876], a worker [02790] in brass [05178]: and he was filled [04390] with wisdom [02451], and understanding [08394], and cunning [01847] to work [06213] all works [04399] in brass [05178]. And he came [0935] to king [04428] Solomon [08010], and wrought [06213] all his work [04399]. 11 7 15 For he cast [06696] two [08147] pillars [05982] of brass [05178], of eighteen [08083] [06240] cubits [0520] high [06967] apiece [05982] [0259]: and a line [02339] of twelve [08147] [06240] cubits [0520] did compass [05437] either [08145] of them about [05437]. 11 7 16 And he made [06213] two [08147] chapiters [03805] of molten [03332] brass [05178], to set [05414] upon the tops [07218] of the pillars [05982]: the height [06967] of the one [0259] chapiter [03805] was five [02568] cubits [0520], and the height [06967] of the other [08145] chapiter [03805] was five [02568] cubits [0520]: 11 7 17 And nets [07638] of checker [07639] work [04639], and wreaths [01434] of chain [08333] work [04639], for the chapiters [03805] which were upon the top [07218] of the pillars [05982]; seven [07651] for the one [0259] chapiter [03805], and seven [07651] for the other [08145] chapiter [03805]. 11 7 18 And he made [06213] the pillars [05982], and two [08147] rows [02905] round about [05439] upon the one [0259] network [07639], to cover [03680] the chapiters [03805] that were upon the top [07218], with pomegranates [07416]: and so did [06213] he for the other [08145] chapiter [03805]. 11 7 19 And the chapiters [03805] that were upon the top [07218] of the pillars [05982] were of lily [07799] work [04639] in the porch [0197], four [0702] cubits [0520]. 11 7 20 And the chapiters [03805] upon the two [08147] pillars [05982] had pomegranates also above [04605], over against [05980] the belly [0990] which was by [05676] the network [07639]: and the pomegranates [07416] were two hundred [03967] in rows [02905] round about [05439] upon the other [08145] chapiter [03805]. 11 7 21 And he set up [06965] the pillars [05982] in the porch [0197] of the temple [01964]: and he set up [06965] the right [03233] pillar [05982], and called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Jachin [03199]: and he set up [06965] the left [08042] pillar [05982], and called [07121] the name [08034] thereof Boaz [01162]. 11 7 22 And upon the top [07218] of the pillars [05982] was lily [07799] work [04639]: so was the work [04399] of the pillars [05982] finished [08552]. 11 7 23 And he made [06213] a molten [03332] sea [03220], ten [06235] cubits [0520] from the one brim [08193] to the other [08193]: it was round [05696] all about [05439], and his height [06967] was five [02568] cubits [0520]: and a line [06957] [06961] of thirty [07970] cubits [0520] did compass [05437] it round about [05439]. 11 7 24 And under the brim [08193] of it round about [05439] there were knops [06497] compassing [05437] it, ten [06235] in a cubit [0520], compassing [05362] the sea [03220] round about [05439]: the knops [06497] were cast [03333] in two [08147] rows [02905], when it was cast [03332]. 11 7 25 It stood [05975] upon twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241], three [07969] looking [06437] toward the north [06828], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the west [03220], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the south [05045], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the east [04217]: and the sea [03220] was set above [04605] upon them, and all their hinder parts [0268] were inward [01004]. 11 7 26 And it was an hand breadth [02947] thick [05672], and the brim [08193] thereof was wrought [04639] like the brim [08193] of a cup [03563], with flowers [06525] of lilies [07799]: it contained [03557] two thousand [0505] baths [01324]. 11 7 27 And he made [06213] ten [06235] bases [04350] of brass [05178]; four [0702] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] of one [0259] base [04350], and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and three [07969] cubits [0520] the height [06967] of it. 11 7 28 And the work [04639] of the bases [04350] was on this manner: they had borders [04526], and the borders [04526] were between the ledges [07948]: 11 7 29 And on the borders [04526] that were between the ledges [07948] were lions [0738], oxen [01241], and cherubims [03742]: and upon the ledges [07948] there was a base [03653] above [04605]: and beneath the lions [0738] and oxen [01241] were certain additions [03914] made of thin [04174] work [04639]. 11 7 30 And every [0259] base [04350] had four [0702] brasen [05178] wheels [0212], and plates [05633] of brass [05178]: and the four [0702] corners [06471] thereof had undersetters [03802]: under the laver [03595] were undersetters [03802] molten [03332], at the side [05676] of every [0376] addition [03914]. 11 7 31 And the mouth [06310] of it within [01004] the chapiter [03805] and above [04605] was a cubit [0520]: but the mouth [06310] thereof was round [05696] after the work [04639] of the base [03653], a cubit [0520] and an half [02677]: and also upon the mouth [06310] of it were gravings [04734] with their borders [04526], foursquare [07251], not round [05696]. 11 7 32 And under [08478] the borders [04526] were four [0702] wheels [0212]; and the axletrees [03027] of the wheels [0212] were joined to the base [04350]: and the height [06967] of a [0259] wheel [0212] was a cubit [0520] and half [02677] a cubit [0520]. 11 7 33 And the work [04639] of the wheels [0212] was like the work [04639] of a chariot [04818] wheel [0212]: their axletrees [03027], and their naves [01354], and their felloes [02839], and their spokes [02840], were all molten [03332]. 11 7 34 And there were four [0702] undersetters [03802] to the four [0702] corners [06438] of one [0259] base [04350]: and the undersetters [03802] were of the very base [04350] itself. 11 7 35 And in the top [07218] of the base [04350] was there a round [05696] compass [05439] of half [02677] a cubit [0520] high [06967]: and on the top [07218] of the base [04350] the ledges [03027] thereof and the borders [04526] thereof were of the same. 11 7 36 For on the plates [03871] of the ledges [03027] thereof, and on the borders [04526] thereof, he graved [06605] cherubims [03742], lions [0738], and palm trees [08561], according to the proportion [04626] of every one [0376], and additions [03914] round about [05439]. 11 7 37 After this manner he made [06213] the ten [06235] bases [04350]: all of them had one [0259] casting [04165], one [0259] measure [04060], and one [0259] size [07095]. 11 7 38 Then made [06213] he ten [06235] lavers [03595] of brass [05178]: one [0259] laver [03595] contained [03557] forty [0705] baths [01324]: and every [0259] laver [03595] was four [0702] cubits [0520]: and upon every one [0259] of the ten [06235] bases [04350] one [0259] laver [03595]. 11 7 39 And he put [05414] five [02568] bases [04350] on the right [03225] side [03802] of the house [01004], and five [02568] on the left [08040] side [03802] of the house [01004]: and he set [05414] the sea [03220] on the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004] eastward [06924] over against [04136] the south [05045]. 11 7 40 And Hiram [02438] made [06213] the lavers [03595], and the shovels [03257], and the basons [04219]. So Hiram [02438] made [03615] an end of doing [06213] all the work [04399] that he made [06213] king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: 11 7 41 The two [08147] pillars [05982], and the two bowls [01543] of the chapiters [03805] that were on the top [07218] of the two [08147] pillars [05982]; and the two [08147] networks [07639], to cover [03680] the two [08147] bowls [01543] of the chapiters [03805] which were upon the top [07218] of the pillars [05982]; 11 7 42 And four [0702] hundred [03967] pomegranates [07416] for the two [08147] networks [07639], even two [08147] rows [02905] of pomegranates [07416] for one [0259] network [07639], to cover [03680] the two [08147] bowls [01543] of the chapiters [03805] that were upon [06440] the pillars [05982]; 11 7 43 And the ten [06235] bases [04350], and ten [06235] lavers [03595] on the bases [04350]; 11 7 44 And one [0259] sea [03220], and twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241] under the sea [03220]; 11 7 45 And the pots [05518], and the shovels [03257], and the basons [04219]: and all these vessels [03627], which Hiram [02438] made [06213] to king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], were of bright [04178] brass [05178]. 11 7 46 In the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383] did the king [04428] cast [03332] them, in the clay [04568] ground [0127] between Succoth [05523] and Zarthan [06891]. 11 7 47 And Solomon [08010] left [03240] all the vessels [03627] unweighed, because they were exceeding [03966] [03966] many [07230]: neither was the weight [04948] of the brass [05178] found out [02713]. 11 7 48 And Solomon [08010] made [06213] all the vessels [03627] that pertained unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: the altar [04196] of gold [02091], and the table [07979] of gold [02091], whereupon the shewbread [03899] [06440] was, 11 7 49 And the candlesticks [04501] of pure [05462] gold [02091], five [02568] on the right [03225] side, and five [02568] on the left [08040], before [06440] the oracle [01687], with the flowers [06525], and the lamps [05216], and the tongs [04457] of gold [02091], 11 7 50 And the bowls [05592], and the snuffers [04212], and the basons [04219], and the spoons [03709], and the censers [04289] of pure [05462] gold [02091]; and the hinges [06596] of gold [02091], both for the doors [01817] of the inner [06442] house [01004], the most [06944] holy [06944] place, and for the doors [01817] of the house [01004], to wit, of the temple [01964]. 11 7 51 So was ended [07999] all the work [04399] that king [04428] Solomon [08010] made [06213] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And Solomon [08010] brought in [0935] the things which David [01732] his father [01] had dedicated [06944]; even the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the vessels [03627], did he put [05414] among the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 11 8 1 Then Solomon [08010] assembled [06950] the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and all the heads [07218] of the tribes [04294], the chief [05387] of the fathers [01] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], unto king [04428] Solomon [08010] in Jerusalem [03389], that they might bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] out of the city [05892] of David [01732], which is Zion [06726]. 11 8 2 And all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] assembled [06950] themselves unto king [04428] Solomon [08010] at the feast [02282] in the month [03391] Ethanim [0388], which is the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 11 8 3 And all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935], and the priests [03548] took up [05375] the ark [0727]. 11 8 4 And they brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and all the holy [06944] vessels [03627] that were in the tabernacle [0168], even those did the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] bring up [05927]. 11 8 5 And king [04428] Solomon [08010], and all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478], that were assembled [03259] unto him, were with him before [06440] the ark [0727], sacrificing [02076] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], that could not be told [05608] nor numbered [04487] for multitude [07230]. 11 8 6 And the priests [03548] brought in [0935] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] unto his place [04725], into the oracle [01687] of the house [01004], to the most [06944] holy [06944] place, even under the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742]. 11 8 7 For the cherubims [03742] spread forth [06566] their two wings [03671] over the place [04725] of the ark [0727], and the cherubims [03742] covered [05526] the ark [0727] and the staves [0905] thereof above [04605]. 11 8 8 And they drew out [0748] the staves [0905], that the ends [07218] of the staves [0905] were seen out [07200] in the holy [06944] place before [06440] the oracle [01687], and they were not seen [07200] without [02351]: and there they are unto this day [03117]. 11 8 9 There was nothing in the ark [0727] save [07535] the two [08147] tables [03871] of stone [068], which Moses [04872] put [03240] there at Horeb [02722], when the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant with the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when they came out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 11 8 10 And it came to pass, when the priests [03548] were come out [03318] of the holy [06944] place, that the cloud [06051] filled [04390] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], 11 8 11 So that the priests [03548] could [03201] not stand [05975] to minister [08334] because [06440] of the cloud [06051]: for the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] had filled [04390] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 11 8 12 Then spake [0559] Solomon [08010], The LORD [03068] said [0559] that he would dwell [07931] in the thick darkness [06205]. 11 8 13 I have surely [01129] built [01129] thee an house [01004] to dwell in [02073], a settled place [04349] for thee to abide in [03427] for ever [05769]. 11 8 14 And the king [04428] turned [05437] his face [06440] about [05437], and blessed [01288] all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478]: (and all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478] stood [05975] 11 8 15 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which spake [01696] with his mouth [06310] unto David [01732] my father [01], and hath with his hand [03027] fulfilled [04390] it, saying [0559], 11 8 16 Since the day [03117] that I brought forth [03318] my people [05971] Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714], I chose [0977] no city [05892] out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to build [01129] an house [01004], that my name [08034] might be therein; but I chose [0977] David [01732] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 11 8 17 And it was in the heart [03824] of David [01732] my father [01] to build [01129] an house [01004] for the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 11 8 18 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto David [01732] my father [01], Whereas [03282] [0834] it was in thine heart [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034], thou didst well [02895] that it was in thine heart [03824]. 11 8 19 Nevertheless [07535] thou shalt not build [01129] the house [01004]; but thy son [01121] that shall come forth out [03318] of thy loins [02504], he shall build [01129] the house [01004] unto my name [08034]. 11 8 20 And the LORD [03068] hath performed [06965] his word [01697] that he spake [01696], and I am risen up [06965] in the room of David [01732] my father [01], and sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478], as the LORD [03068] promised [01696], and have built [01129] an house [01004] for the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 11 8 21 And I have set [07760] there a place [04725] for the ark [0727], wherein is the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], which he made [03772] with our fathers [01], when he brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 11 8 22 And Solomon [08010] stood [05975] before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] in the presence of [05048] all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], and spread forth [06566] his hands [03709] toward heaven [08064]: 11 8 23 And he said [0559], LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], there is no God [0430] like thee, in heaven [08064] above [04605], or on earth [0776] beneath, who keepest [08104] covenant [01285] and mercy [02617] with thy servants [05650] that walk [01980] before [06440] thee with all their heart [03820]: 11 8 24 Who hast kept [08104] with thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01] that thou promisedst [01696] him: thou spakest [01696] also with thy mouth [06310], and hast fulfilled [04390] it with thine hand [03027], as it is this day [03117]. 11 8 25 Therefore now, LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], keep [08104] with thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01] that thou promisedst [01696] him, saying [0559], There shall not fail [03772] thee a man [0376] in my sight [06440] to sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]; so [07535] that thy children [01121] take heed [08104] to their way [01870], that they walk [03212] before [06440] me as thou hast walked [01980] before [06440] me. 11 8 26 And now, O God [0430] of Israel [03478], let thy word [01697], I pray thee, be verified [0539], which thou spakest [01696] unto thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01]. 11 8 27 But will God [0430] indeed [0552] dwell [03427] on the earth [0776]? behold, the heaven [08064] and heaven [08064] of heavens [08064] cannot contain [03557] thee; how much less [0637] this house [01004] that I have builded [01129]? 11 8 28 Yet have thou respect [06437] unto the prayer [08605] of thy servant [05650], and to his supplication [08467], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], to hearken [08085] unto the cry [07440] and to the prayer [08605], which thy servant [05650] prayeth [06419] before [06440] thee to day [03117]: 11 8 29 That thine eyes [05869] may be open [06605] toward this house [01004] night [03915] and day [03117], even toward the place [04725] of which thou hast said [0559], My name [08034] shall be there: that thou mayest hearken [08085] unto the prayer [08605] which thy servant [05650] shall make [06419] toward this place [04725]. 11 8 30 And hearken [08085] thou to the supplication [08467] of thy servant [05650], and of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], when they shall pray [06419] toward this place [04725]: and hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04725]: and when thou hearest [08085], forgive [05545]. 11 8 31 If any man [0376] trespass [02398] against his neighbour [07453], and an oath [0423] be laid [05375] upon him to cause him to swear [0422], and the oath [0423] come [0935] before [06440] thine altar [04196] in this house [01004]: 11 8 32 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064], and do [06213], and judge [08199] thy servants [05650], condemning [07561] the wicked [07563], to bring [05414] his way [01870] upon his head [07218]; and justifying [06663] the righteous [06662], to give [05414] him according to his righteousness [06666]. 11 8 33 When thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be smitten down [05062] before [06440] the enemy [0341], because they have sinned [02398] against thee, and shall turn again [07725] to thee, and confess [03034] thy name [08034], and pray [06419], and make supplication [02603] unto thee in this house [01004]: 11 8 34 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064], and forgive [05545] the sin [02403] of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], and bring them again [07725] unto the land [0127] which thou gavest [05414] unto their fathers [01]. 11 8 35 When heaven [08064] is shut up [06113], and there is no rain [04306], because they have sinned [02398] against thee; if they pray [06419] toward this place [04725], and confess [03034] thy name [08034], and turn [07725] from their sin [02403], when thou afflictest [06031] them: 11 8 36 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064], and forgive [05545] the sin [02403] of thy servants [05650], and of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], that thou teach [03384] them the good [02896] way [01870] wherein they should walk [03212], and give [05414] rain [04306] upon thy land [0776], which thou hast given [05414] to thy people [05971] for an inheritance [05159]. 11 8 37 If there be in the land [0776] famine [07458], if there be pestilence [01698], blasting [07711], mildew [03420], locust [0697], or if there be caterpiller [02625]; if their enemy [0341] besiege [06887] them in the land [0776] of their cities [08179]; whatsoever plague [05061], whatsoever sickness [04245] there be; 11 8 38 What prayer [08605] and supplication [08467] soever be made by any man [0120], or by all thy people [05971] Israel [03478], which shall know [03045] every man [0376] the plague [05061] of his own heart [03824], and spread forth [06566] his hands [03709] toward this house [01004]: 11 8 39 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and forgive [05545], and do [06213], and give [05414] to every man [0376] according to his ways [01870], whose heart [03824] thou knowest [03045]; (for thou, even thou only, knowest [03045] the hearts [03824] of all the children [01121] of men [0120];) 11 8 40 That they may fear [03372] thee all the days [03117] that they live [02416] in [06440] the land [0127] which thou gavest [05414] unto our fathers [01]. 11 8 41 Moreover concerning a stranger [05237], that is not of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], but cometh out [0935] of a far [07350] country [0776] for [04616] thy name's [08034] sake; 11 8 42 (For they shall hear [08085] of thy great [01419] name [08034], and of thy strong [02389] hand [03027], and of thy stretched out [05186] arm [02220];) when he shall come [0935] and pray [06419] toward this house [01004]; 11 8 43 Hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and do [06213] according to all that the stranger [05237] calleth [07121] to thee for: that all people [05971] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] thy name [08034], to fear [03372] thee, as do thy people [05971] Israel [03478]; and that they may know [03045] that this house [01004], which I have builded [01129], is called [07121] by thy name [08034]. 11 8 44 If thy people [05971] go out [03318] to battle [04421] against their enemy [0341], whithersoever [01870] thou shalt send [07971] them, and shall pray [06419] unto the LORD [03068] toward [01870] the city [05892] which thou hast chosen [0977], and toward the house [01004] that I have built [01129] for thy name [08034]: 11 8 45 Then hear [08085] thou in heaven [08064] their prayer [08605] and their supplication [08467], and maintain [06213] their cause [04941]. 11 8 46 If they sin [02398] against thee, (for there is no man [0120] that sinneth [02398] not,) and thou be angry [0599] with them, and deliver [05414] them to the enemy [0341], so that they carry them away [07617] captives [07617] unto [06440] the land [0776] of the enemy [0341], far [07350] or near [07138]; 11 8 47 Yet if they shall bethink [07725] themselves in the land [0776] whither they were carried captives [07617], and repent [07725] [03820], and make supplication [02603] unto thee in the land [0776] of them that carried them captives [07617], saying [0559], We have sinned [02398], and have done perversely [05753], we have committed wickedness [07561]; 11 8 48 And so return [07725] unto thee with all their heart [03824], and with all their soul [05315], in the land [0776] of their enemies [0341], which led them away captive [07617], and pray [06419] unto thee toward [01870] their land [0776], which thou gavest [05414] unto their fathers [01], the city [05892] which thou hast chosen [0977], and the house [01004] which I have built [01129] for thy name [08034]: 11 8 49 Then hear [08085] thou their prayer [08605] and their supplication [08467] in heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and maintain [06213] their cause [04941], 11 8 50 And forgive [05545] thy people [05971] that have sinned [02398] against thee, and all their transgressions [06588] wherein they have transgressed [06586] against thee, and give [05414] them compassion [07356] before [06440] them who carried them captive [07617], that they may have compassion [07355] on them: 11 8 51 For they be thy people [05971], and thine inheritance [05159], which thou broughtest forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], from the midst [08432] of the furnace [03564] of iron [01270]: 11 8 52 That thine eyes [05869] may be open [06605] unto the supplication [08467] of thy servant [05650], and unto the supplication [08467] of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], to hearken [08085] unto them in all that they call [07121] for unto thee. 11 8 53 For thou didst separate [0914] them from among all the people [05971] of the earth [0776], to be thine inheritance [05159], as thou spakest [01696] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] thy servant [05650], when thou broughtest [03318] our fathers [01] out of Egypt [04714], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 11 8 54 And it was so, that when Solomon [08010] had made an end [03615] of praying [06419] all this prayer [08605] and supplication [08467] unto the LORD [03068], he arose [06965] from before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], from kneeling [03766] on his knees [01290] with his hands [03709] spread up [06566] to heaven [08064]. 11 8 55 And he stood [05975], and blessed [01288] all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], saying [0559], 11 8 56 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068], that hath given [05414] rest [04496] unto his people [05971] Israel [03478], according to all that he promised [01696]: there hath not failed [05307] one [0259] word [01697] of all his good [02896] promise [01697], which he promised [01696] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] his servant [05650]. 11 8 57 The LORD [03068] our God [0430] be with us, as he was with our fathers [01]: let him not leave [05800] us, nor forsake [05203] us: 11 8 58 That he may incline [05186] our hearts [03824] unto him, to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and his statutes [02706], and his judgments [04941], which he commanded [06680] our fathers [01]. 11 8 59 And let these my words [01697], wherewith I have made supplication [02603] before [06440] the LORD [03068], be nigh [07138] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430] day [03119] and night [03915], that he maintain [06213] the cause [04941] of his servant [05650], and the cause [04941] of his people [05971] Israel [03478] at all times [03117] [03117], as the matter [01697] shall require: 11 8 60 That all the people [05971] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] that the LORD [03068] is God [0430], and that there is none else. 11 8 61 Let your heart [03824] therefore be perfect [08003] with the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to walk [03212] in his statutes [02706], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], as at this day [03117]. 11 8 62 And the king [04428], and all Israel [03478] with him, offered [02076] sacrifice [02077] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 11 8 63 And Solomon [08010] offered [02076] a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002], which he offered [02076] unto the LORD [03068], two [08147] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] oxen [01241], and an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]. So the king [04428] and all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] dedicated [02596] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 11 8 64 The same day [03117] did the king [04428] hallow [06942] the middle [08432] of the court [02691] that was before [06440] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: for there he offered [06213] burnt offerings [05930], and meat offerings [04503], and the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002]: because the brasen [05178] altar [04196] that was before [06440] the LORD [03068] was too little [06996] to receive [03557] the burnt offerings [05930], and meat offerings [04503], and the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002]. 11 8 65 And at that time [06256] Solomon [08010] held [06213] a feast [02282], and all Israel [03478] with him, a great [01419] congregation [06951], from the entering [0935] in of Hamath [02574] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], seven [07651] days [03117] and seven [07651] days [03117], even fourteen [0702] [06240] days [03117]. 11 8 66 On the eighth [08066] day [03117] he sent [07971] the people [05971] away [07971]: and they blessed [01288] the king [04428], and went [03212] unto their tents [0168] joyful [08056] and glad [02896] of heart [03820] for all the goodness [02896] that the LORD [03068] had done [06213] for David [01732] his servant [05650], and for Israel [03478] his people [05971]. 11 9 1 And it came to pass, when Solomon [08010] had finished [03615] the building [01129] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] house [01004], and all Solomon's [08010] desire [02837] which he was pleased [02654] to do [06213], 11 9 2 That the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Solomon [08010] the second time [08145], as he had appeared [07200] unto him at Gibeon [01391]. 11 9 3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, I have heard [08085] thy prayer [08605] and thy supplication [08467], that thou hast made [02603] before [06440] me: I have hallowed [06942] this house [01004], which thou hast built [01129], to put [07760] my name [08034] there for [05704] ever [05769]; and mine eyes [05869] and mine heart [03820] shall be there perpetually [03117]. 11 9 4 And if thou wilt walk [03212] before [06440] me, as David [01732] thy father [01] walked [01980], in integrity [08537] of heart [03824], and in uprightness [03476], to do [06213] according to all that I have commanded [06680] thee, and wilt keep [08104] my statutes [02706] and my judgments [04941]: 11 9 5 Then I will establish [06965] the throne [03678] of thy kingdom [04467] upon Israel [03478] for ever [05769], as I promised [01696] to David [01732] thy father [01], saying [0559], There shall not fail [03772] thee a man [0376] upon the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]. 11 9 6 But if ye shall at all [07725] turn [07725] from following [0310] me, ye or your children [01121], and will not keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708] which I have set [05414] before [06440] you, but go [01980] and serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and worship [07812] them: 11 9 7 Then will I cut off [03772] Israel [03478] out [06440] of the land [0127] which I have given [05414] them; and this house [01004], which I have hallowed [06942] for my name [08034], will I cast out [07971] of my sight [06440]; and Israel [03478] shall be a proverb [04912] and a byword [08148] among all people [05971]: 11 9 8 And at this house [01004], which is high [05945], every one that passeth [05674] by it shall be astonished [08074], and shall hiss [08319]; and they shall say [0559], Why hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this land [0776], and to this house [01004]? 11 9 9 And they shall answer [0559], Because they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], who brought forth [03318] their fathers [01] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and have taken hold [02388] upon other [0312] gods [0430], and have worshipped [07812] them, and served [05647] them: therefore hath the LORD [03068] brought [0935] upon them all this evil [07451]. 11 9 10 And it came to pass at the end [07097] of twenty [06242] years [08141], when Solomon [08010] had built [01129] the two [08147] houses [01004], the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] house [01004], 11 9 11 (Now Hiram [02438] the king [04428] of Tyre [06865] had furnished [05375] Solomon [08010] with cedar [0730] trees [06086] and fir [01265] trees [06086], and with gold [02091], according to all his desire [02656],) that then [0227] king [04428] Solomon [08010] gave [05414] Hiram [02438] twenty [06242] cities [05892] in the land [0776] of Galilee [01551]. 11 9 12 And Hiram [02438] came out [03318] from Tyre [06865] to see [07200] the cities [05892] which Solomon [08010] had given [05414] him; and they pleased [03474] [05869] him not. 11 9 13 And he said [0559], What cities [05892] are these which thou hast given [05414] me, my brother [0251]? And he called [07121] them the land [0776] of Cabul [03521] unto this day [03117]. 11 9 14 And Hiram [02438] sent [07971] to the king [04428] sixscore [03967] [06242] talents [03603] of gold [02091]. 11 9 15 And this is the reason [01697] of the levy [04522] which king [04428] Solomon [08010] raised [05927]; for to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and his own house [01004], and Millo [04407], and the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], and Hazor [02674], and Megiddo [04023], and Gezer [01507]. 11 9 16 For Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] had gone up [05927], and taken [03920] Gezer [01507], and burnt [08313] it with fire [0784], and slain [02026] the Canaanites [03669] that dwelt [03427] in the city [05892], and given [05414] it for a present [07964] unto his daughter [01323], Solomon's [08010] wife [0802]. 11 9 17 And Solomon [08010] built [01129] Gezer [01507], and Bethhoron [01032] the nether [08481], 11 9 18 And Baalath [01191], and Tadmor [08412] in the wilderness [04057], in the land [0776], 11 9 19 And all the cities [05892] of store [04543] that Solomon [08010] had, and cities [05892] for his chariots [07393], and cities [05892] for his horsemen [06571], and that [02837] which Solomon [08010] desired [02836] to build [01129] in Jerusalem [03389], and in Lebanon [03844], and in all the land [0776] of his dominion [04475]. 11 9 20 And all the people [05971] that were left [03498] of the Amorites [0567], Hittites [02850], Perizzites [06522], Hivites [02340], and Jebusites [02983], which were not of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], 11 9 21 Their children [01121] that were left [03498] after [0310] them in the land [0776], whom the children [01121] of Israel [03478] also were not able [03201] utterly to destroy [02763], upon those did Solomon [08010] levy [05927] a tribute [04522] of bondservice [05647] unto this day [03117]. 11 9 22 But of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did Solomon [08010] make [05414] no bondmen [05650]: but they were men [0582] of war [04421], and his servants [05650], and his princes [08269], and his captains [07991], and rulers [08269] of his chariots [07393], and his horsemen [06571]. 11 9 23 These were the chief [08269] of the officers [05324] that were over Solomon's [08010] work [04399], five [02568] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572], which bare rule [07287] over the people [05971] that wrought [06213] in the work [04399]. 11 9 24 But Pharaoh's [06547] daughter [01323] came up [05927] out of the city [05892] of David [01732] unto her house [01004] which Solomon had built [01129] for her: then did he build [01129] Millo [04407]. 11 9 25 And three [07969] times [06471] in a year [08141] did Solomon [08010] offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002] upon the altar [04196] which he built [01129] unto the LORD [03068], and he burnt incense [06999] upon the altar [04196] that was before [06440] the LORD [03068]. So he finished [07999] the house [01004]. 11 9 26 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] made [06213] a navy of ships [0590] in Eziongeber [06100], which is beside Eloth [0359], on the shore [08193] of the Red [05488] sea [03220], in the land [0776] of Edom [0123]. 11 9 27 And Hiram [02438] sent [07971] in the navy [0590] his servants [05650], shipmen [0582] [0591] that had knowledge [03045] of the sea [03220], with the servants [05650] of Solomon [08010]. 11 9 28 And they came [0935] to Ophir [0211], and fetched [03947] from thence gold [02091], four [0702] hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] talents [03603], and brought [0935] it to king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 11 10 1 And when the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] heard [08085] of the fame [08088] of Solomon [08010] concerning the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], she came [0935] to prove [05254] him with hard questions [02420]. 11 10 2 And she came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] with a very [03966] great [03515] train [02428], with camels [01581] that bare [05375] spices [01314], and very [03966] much [07227] gold [02091], and precious [03368] stones [068]: and when she was come [0935] to Solomon [08010], she communed [01696] with him of all that was in her heart [03824]. 11 10 3 And Solomon [08010] told [05046] her all her questions [01697]: there was not any thing [01697] hid [05956] from the king [04428], which he told [05046] her not. 11 10 4 And when the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] had seen [07200] all Solomon's [08010] wisdom [02451], and the house [01004] that he had built [01129], 11 10 5 And the meat [03978] of his table [07979], and the sitting [04186] of his servants [05650], and the attendance [04612] of his ministers [08334], and their apparel [04403], and his cupbearers [08248], and his ascent [05930] by which he went up [05927] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; there was no more spirit [07307] in her. 11 10 6 And she said [0559] to the king [04428], It was a true [0571] report [01697] that I heard [08085] in mine own land [0776] of thy acts [01697] and of thy wisdom [02451]. 11 10 7 Howbeit I believed [0539] not the words [01697], until I came [0935], and mine eyes [05869] had seen [07200] it: and, behold, the half [02677] was not told [05046] me: thy wisdom [02451] and prosperity [02896] exceedeth [03254] the fame [08052] which I heard [08085]. 11 10 8 Happy [0835] are thy men [0582], happy [0835] are these thy servants [05650], which stand [05975] continually [08548] before [06440] thee, and that hear [08085] thy wisdom [02451]. 11 10 9 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which delighted [02654] in thee, to set [05414] thee on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]: because the LORD [03068] loved [0160] Israel [03478] for ever [05769], therefore made [07760] he thee king [04428], to do [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666]. 11 10 10 And she gave [05414] the king [04428] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] talents [03603] of gold [02091], and of spices [01314] very [03966] great store [07235], and precious [03368] stones [068]: there came [0935] no more such [01931] abundance [07230] of spices [01314] as these which the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] gave [05414] to king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 11 10 11 And the navy [0590] also of Hiram [02438], that brought [05375] gold [02091] from Ophir [0211], brought in [0935] from Ophir [0211] great [03966] plenty [07235] of almug [0484] trees [06086], and precious [03368] stones [068]. 11 10 12 And the king [04428] made [06213] of the almug [0484] trees [06086] pillars [04552] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and for the king's [04428] house [01004], harps [03658] also and psalteries [05035] for singers [07891]: there came [0935] no such almug [0484] trees [06086], nor were seen [07200] unto this day [03117]. 11 10 13 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] gave [05414] unto the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] all her desire [02656], whatsoever she asked [07592], beside that which Solomon [08010] gave [05414] her of his royal [04428] bounty [03027]. So she turned [06437] and went [03212] to her own country [0776], she and her servants [05650]. 11 10 14 Now the weight [04948] of gold [02091] that came [0935] to Solomon [08010] in one [0259] year [08141] was six [08337] hundred [03967] threescore [08346] and six [08337] talents [03603] of gold [02091], 11 10 15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen [0582] [08446], and of the traffick [04536] of the spice merchants [07402], and of all the kings [04428] of Arabia [06153], and of the governors [06346] of the country [0776]. 11 10 16 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] made [06213] two hundred [03967] targets [06793] of beaten [07820] gold [02091]: six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels of gold [02091] went [05927] to one [0259] target [06793]. 11 10 17 And he made three [07969] hundred [03967] shields [04043] of beaten [07820] gold [02091]; three [07969] pound [04488] of gold [02091] went [05927] to one [0259] shield [04043]: and the king [04428] put [05414] them in the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844]. 11 10 18 Moreover the king [04428] made [06213] a great [01419] throne [03678] of ivory [08127], and overlaid [06823] it with the best [06338] gold [02091]. 11 10 19 The throne [03678] had six [08337] steps [04609], and the top [07218] of the throne [03678] was round [05696] behind [0310]: and there were stays [03027] on either side on the place [04725] of the seat [07675], and two [08147] lions [0738] stood [05975] beside [0681] the stays [03027]. 11 10 20 And twelve [08147] [06240] lions [0738] stood [05975] there on the one side and on the other upon the six [08337] steps [04609]: there was not the like [03651] made [06213] in any kingdom [04467]. 11 10 21 And all king [04428] Solomon's [08010] drinking [04945] vessels [03627] were of gold [02091], and all the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844] were of pure [05462] gold [02091]; none were of silver [03701]: it was nothing [03972] accounted [02803] of in the days [03117] of Solomon [08010]. 11 10 22 For the king [04428] had at sea [03220] a navy [0590] of Tharshish [08659] with the navy [0590] of Hiram [02438]: once [0259] in three [07969] years [08141] came [0935] the navy [0590] of Tharshish [08659], bringing [05375] gold [02091], and silver [03701], ivory [08143], and apes [06971], and peacocks [08500]. 11 10 23 So king [04428] Solomon [08010] exceeded [01431] all the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] for riches [06239] and for wisdom [02451]. 11 10 24 And all the earth [0776] sought [01245] to [06440] Solomon [08010], to hear [08085] his wisdom [02451], which God [0430] had put [05414] in his heart [03820]. 11 10 25 And they brought [0935] every man [0376] his present [04503], vessels [03627] of silver [03701], and vessels [03627] of gold [02091], and garments [08008], and armour [05402], and spices [01314], horses [05483], and mules [06505], a rate [01697] year [08141] by year [08141]. 11 10 26 And Solomon [08010] gathered together [0622] chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]: and he had a thousand [0505] and four [0702] hundred [03967] chariots [07393], and twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571], whom he bestowed [05148] in the cities [05892] for chariots [07393], and with the king [04428] at Jerusalem [03389]. 11 10 27 And the king [04428] made [05414] silver [03701] to be in Jerusalem [03389] as stones [068], and cedars [0730] made [05414] he to be as the sycomore trees [08256] that are in the vale [08219], for abundance [07230]. 11 10 28 And Solomon [08010] had horses [05483] brought [04161] out of Egypt [04714], and linen yarn [04723]: the king's [04428] merchants [05503] received [03947] the linen yarn [04723] at a price [04242]. 11 10 29 And a chariot [04818] came up [05927] and went out [03318] of Egypt [04714] for six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels of silver [03701], and an horse [05483] for an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572]: and so for all the kings [04428] of the Hittites [02850], and for the kings [04428] of Syria [0758], did they bring them out [03318] by their means [03027]. 11 11 1 But king [04428] Solomon [08010] loved [0157] many [07227] strange [05237] women [0802], together with the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547], women of the Moabites [04125], Ammonites [05984], Edomites [0130], Zidonians [06722], and Hittites [02850]; 11 11 2 Of the nations [01471] concerning which the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Ye shall not go in [0935] to them, neither shall they come in [0935] unto you: for surely [0403] they will turn away [05186] your heart [03824] after [0310] their gods [0430]: Solomon [08010] clave [01692] unto these in love [0157]. 11 11 3 And he had seven [07651] hundred [03967] wives [0802], princesses [08282], and three [07969] hundred [03967] concubines [06370]: and his wives [0802] turned away [05186] his heart [03820]. 11 11 4 For it came to pass, when [06256] Solomon [08010] was old [02209], that his wives [0802] turned away [05186] his heart [03824] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430]: and his heart [03824] was not perfect [08003] with the LORD [03068] his God [0430], as was the heart [03824] of David [01732] his father [01]. 11 11 5 For Solomon [08010] went [03212] after [0310] Ashtoreth [06253] the goddess [0430] of the Zidonians [06722], and after [0310] Milcom [04445] the abomination [08251] of the Ammonites [05984]. 11 11 6 And Solomon [08010] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and went not fully [04390] after [0310] the LORD [03068], as did David [01732] his father [01]. 11 11 7 Then did Solomon [08010] build [01129] an high place [01116] for Chemosh [03645], the abomination [08251] of Moab [04124], in the hill [02022] that is before [06440] Jerusalem [03389], and for Molech [04432], the abomination [08251] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 11 11 8 And likewise did [06213] he for all his strange [05237] wives [0802], which burnt incense [06999] and sacrificed [02076] unto their gods [0430]. 11 11 9 And the LORD [03068] was angry [0599] with Solomon [08010], because his heart [03824] was turned [05186] from the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which had appeared [07200] unto him twice [06471], 11 11 10 And had commanded [06680] him concerning this thing [01697], that he should not go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430]: but he kept [08104] not that which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680]. 11 11 11 Wherefore the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Solomon [08010], Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept [08104] my covenant [01285] and my statutes [02708], which I have commanded [06680] thee, I will surely [07167] rend [07167] the kingdom [04467] from thee, and will give [05414] it to thy servant [05650]. 11 11 12 Notwithstanding in thy days [03117] I will not do [06213] it for David [01732] thy father's [01] sake: but I will rend [07167] it out of the hand [03027] of thy son [01121]. 11 11 13 Howbeit [07535] I will not rend away [07167] all the kingdom [04467]; but will give [05414] one [0259] tribe [07626] to thy son [01121] for David [01732] my servant's [05650] sake, and for Jerusalem's [03389] sake which I have chosen [0977]. 11 11 14 And the LORD [03068] stirred up [06965] an adversary [07854] unto Solomon [08010], Hadad [01908] the Edomite [0130]: he was of the king's [04428] seed [02233] in Edom [0123]. 11 11 15 For it came to pass, when David [01732] was in Edom [0123], and Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] was gone up [05927] to bury [06912] the slain [02491], after he had smitten [05221] every male [02145] in Edom [0123]; 11 11 16 (For six [08337] months [02320] did Joab [03097] remain [03427] there with all Israel [03478], until he had cut off [03772] every male [02145] in Edom [0123]:) 11 11 17 That Hadad [0111] fled [01272], he and certain [0582] Edomites [0130] of his father's [01] servants [05650] with him, to go [0935] into Egypt [04714]; Hadad [01908] being yet a little [06996] child [05288]. 11 11 18 And they arose [06965] out of Midian [04080], and came [0935] to Paran [06290]: and they took [03947] men [0582] with them out of Paran [06290], and they came [0935] to Egypt [04714], unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714]; which gave [05414] him an house [01004], and appointed [0559] him victuals [03899], and gave [05414] him land [0776]. 11 11 19 And Hadad [01908] found [04672] great [03966] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of Pharaoh [06547], so that he gave [05414] him to wife [0802] the sister [0269] of his own wife [0802], the sister [0269] of Tahpenes [08472] the queen [01377]. 11 11 20 And the sister [0269] of Tahpenes [08472] bare [03205] him Genubath [01592] his son [01121], whom Tahpenes [08472] weaned [01580] in [08432] Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004]: and Genubath [01592] was in Pharaoh's [06547] household [01004] among [08432] the sons [01121] of Pharaoh [06547]. 11 11 21 And when Hadad [01908] heard [08085] in Egypt [04714] that David [01732] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and that Joab [03097] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] was dead [04191], Hadad [01908] said [0559] to Pharaoh [06547], Let me depart [07971], that I may go [03212] to mine own country [0776]. 11 11 22 Then Pharaoh [06547] said [0559] unto him, But what hast thou lacked [02638] with me, that, behold, thou seekest [01245] to go [03212] to thine own country [0776]? And he answered [0559], Nothing: howbeit let me go [07971] in any wise [07971]. 11 11 23 And God [0430] stirred him up [06965] another adversary [07854], Rezon [07331] the son [01121] of Eliadah [0450], which fled [01272] from his lord [0113] Hadadezer [01909] king [04428] of Zobah [06678]: 11 11 24 And he gathered [06908] men [0582] unto him, and became captain [08269] over a band [01416], when David [01732] slew [02026] them of Zobah: and they went [03212] to Damascus [01834], and dwelt [03427] therein, and reigned [04427] in Damascus [01834]. 11 11 25 And he was an adversary [07854] to Israel [03478] all the days [03117] of Solomon [08010], beside the mischief [07451] that Hadad [01908] did: and he abhorred [06973] Israel [03478], and reigned [04427] over Syria [0758]. 11 11 26 And Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], an Ephrathite [0673] of Zereda [06868], Solomon's [08010] servant [05650], whose mother's [0517] name [08034] was Zeruah [06871], a widow [0490] woman [0802], even he lifted up [07311] his hand [03027] against the king [04428]. 11 11 27 And this was the cause [01697] that he lifted up [07311] his hand [03027] against the king [04428]: Solomon [08010] built [01129] Millo [04407], and repaired [05462] the breaches [06556] of the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]. 11 11 28 And the man [0376] Jeroboam [03379] was a mighty man [01368] of valour [02428]: and Solomon [08010] seeing [07200] the young man [05288] that he was industrious [06213] [04399], he made him ruler [06485] over all the charge [05447] of the house [01004] of Joseph [03130]. 11 11 29 And it came to pass at that time [06256] when Jeroboam [03379] went out [03318] of Jerusalem [03389], that the prophet [05030] Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888] found [04672] him in the way [01870]; and he had clad [03680] himself with a new [02319] garment [08008]; and they two [08147] were alone in the field [07704]: 11 11 30 And Ahijah [0281] caught [08610] the new [02319] garment [08008] that was on him, and rent [07167] it in twelve [08147] [06240] pieces [07168]: 11 11 31 And he said [0559] to Jeroboam [03379], Take [03947] thee ten [06235] pieces [07168]: for thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], Behold, I will rend [07167] the kingdom [04467] out of the hand [03027] of Solomon [08010], and will give [05414] ten [06235] tribes [07626] to thee: 11 11 32 (But he shall have one [0259] tribe [07626] for my servant [05650] David's [01732] sake, and for Jerusalem's [03389] sake, the city [05892] which I have chosen [0977] out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]:) 11 11 33 Because that they have forsaken [05800] me, and have worshipped [07812] Ashtoreth [06253] the goddess [0430] of the Zidonians [06722], Chemosh [03645] the god [0430] of the Moabites [04124], and Milcom [04445] the god [0430] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and have not walked [01980] in my ways [01870], to do [06213] that which is right [03477] in mine eyes [05869], and to keep my statutes [02708] and my judgments [04941], as did David [01732] his father [01]. 11 11 34 Howbeit I will not take [03947] the whole kingdom [04467] out of his hand [03027]: but I will make [07896] him prince [05387] all the days [03117] of his life [02416] for David [01732] my servant's [05650] sake, whom I chose [0977], because he kept [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708]: 11 11 35 But I will take [03947] the kingdom [04410] out of his son's [01121] hand [03027], and will give [05414] it unto thee, even ten [06235] tribes [07626]. 11 11 36 And unto his son [01121] will I give [05414] one [0259] tribe [07626], that David [01732] my servant [05650] may have a light [05216] alway [03117] before [06440] me in Jerusalem [03389], the city [05892] which I have chosen [0977] me to put [07760] my name [08034] there. 11 11 37 And I will take [03947] thee, and thou shalt reign [04427] according to all that thy soul [05315] desireth [0183], and shalt be king [04428] over Israel [03478]. 11 11 38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken [08085] unto all that I command [06680] thee, and wilt walk [01980] in my ways [01870], and do [06213] that is right [03477] in my sight [05869], to keep [08104] my statutes [02708] and my commandments [04687], as David [01732] my servant [05650] did [06213]; that I will be with thee, and build [01129] thee a sure [0539] house [01004], as I built [01129] for David [01732], and will give [05414] Israel [03478] unto thee. 11 11 39 And I will for this afflict [06031] the seed [02233] of David [01732], but not for ever [03117]. 11 11 40 Solomon [08010] sought [01245] therefore to kill [04191] Jeroboam [03379]. And Jeroboam [03379] arose [06965], and fled [01272] into Egypt [04714], unto Shishak [07895] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and was in Egypt [04714] until the death [04194] of Solomon [08010]. 11 11 41 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Solomon [08010], and all that he did [06213], and his wisdom [02451], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the acts [01697] of Solomon [08010]? 11 11 42 And the time [03117] that Solomon [08010] reigned [04427] in Jerusalem [03389] over all Israel [03478] was forty [0705] years [08141]. 11 11 43 And Solomon [08010] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]: and Rehoboam [07346] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 12 1 And Rehoboam [07346] went [03212] to Shechem [07927]: for all Israel [03478] were come [0935] to Shechem [07927] to make him king [04427]. 11 12 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who was yet in Egypt [04714], heard [08085] of it, (for he was fled [01272] from the presence [06440] of king [04428] Solomon [08010], and Jeroboam [03379] dwelt [03427] in Egypt [04714];) 11 12 3 That they sent [07971] and called [07121] him. And Jeroboam [03379] and all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478] came [0935], and spake [01696] unto Rehoboam [07346], saying [0559], 11 12 4 Thy father [01] made [07185] our yoke [05923] grievous [07185]: now therefore make thou the grievous [07186] service [05656] of thy father [01], and his heavy [03515] yoke [05923] which he put [05414] upon us, lighter [07043], and we will serve [05647] thee. 11 12 5 And he said [0559] unto them, Depart [03212] yet for three [07969] days [03117], then come again [07725] to me. And the people [05971] departed [03212]. 11 12 6 And king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] consulted [03289] with the old men [02205], that stood [05975] before [06440] Solomon [08010] his father [01] while he yet lived [02416], and said [0559], How do ye advise [03289] that I may [07725] answer [01697] this people [05971]? 11 12 7 And they spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], If thou wilt be a servant [05650] unto this people [05971] this day [03117], and wilt serve [05647] them, and answer [06030] them, and speak [01696] good [02896] words [01697] to them, then they will be thy servants [05650] for ever [03117]. 11 12 8 But he forsook [05800] the counsel [06098] of the old men [02205], which they had given [03289] him, and consulted [03289] with the young men [03206] that were grown up [01431] with him, and which stood [05975] before [06440] him: 11 12 9 And he said [0559] unto them, What counsel give [03289] ye that we may [07725] answer [01697] this people [05971], who have spoken [01696] to me, saying [0559], Make [07043] the yoke [05923] which thy father [01] did put [05414] upon us lighter [07043]? 11 12 10 And the young men [03206] that were grown up [01431] with him spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus shalt thou speak [0559] unto this people [05971] that spake [01696] unto thee, saying [0559], Thy father [01] made [03513] our yoke [05923] heavy [03513], but make thou it lighter [07043] unto us; thus shalt thou say [01696] unto them, My little [06995] finger shall be thicker [05666] than my father's [01] loins [04975]. 11 12 11 And now whereas my father [01] did lade [06006] you with a heavy [03515] yoke [05923], I will add [03254] to your yoke [05923]: my father [01] hath chastised [03256] you with whips [07752], but I will chastise [03256] you with scorpions [06137]. 11 12 12 So Jeroboam [03379] and all the people [05971] came [0935] to Rehoboam [07346] the third [07992] day [03117], as the king [04428] had appointed [01696], saying [0559], Come to me again [07725] the third [07992] day [03117]. 11 12 13 And the king [04428] answered [06030] the people [05971] roughly [07186], and forsook [05800] the old men's [02205] counsel [06098] that they gave [03289] him; 11 12 14 And spake [01696] to them after the counsel [06098] of the young men [03206], saying [0559], My father [01] made [03513] your yoke [05923] heavy [03513], and I will add [03254] to your yoke [05923]: my father [01] also chastised [03256] you with whips [07752], but I will chastise [03256] you with scorpions [06137]. 11 12 15 Wherefore the king [04428] hearkened [08085] not unto the people [05971]; for the cause [05438] was from the LORD [03068], that he might perform [06965] his saying [01697], which the LORD [03068] spake [01696] by [03027] Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888] unto Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028]. 11 12 16 So [07725] when all Israel [03478] saw [07200] that the king [04428] hearkened [08085] not unto them, the people [05971] answered [01697] the king [04428], saying [0559], What portion [02506] have we in David [01732]? neither have we inheritance [05159] in the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]: to your tents [0168], O Israel [03478]: now see [07200] to thine own house [01004], David [01732]. So Israel [03478] departed [03212] unto their tents [0168]. 11 12 17 But as for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] which dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], Rehoboam [07346] reigned [04427] over them. 11 12 18 Then king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] sent [07971] Adoram [0151], who was over the tribute [04522]; and all Israel [03478] stoned [07275] him with stones [068], that he died [04191]. Therefore king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] made speed [0553] to get him up [05927] to his chariot [04818], to flee [05127] to Jerusalem [03389]. 11 12 19 So Israel [03478] rebelled [06586] against the house [01004] of David [01732] unto this day [03117]. 11 12 20 And it came to pass, when all Israel [03478] heard [08085] that Jeroboam [03379] was come again [07725], that they sent [07971] and called [07121] him unto the congregation [05712], and made him king [04427] over all Israel [03478]: there was none that followed [0310] the house [01004] of David [01732], but [02108] the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063] only. 11 12 21 And when Rehoboam [07346] was come [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], he assembled [06950] all the house [01004] of Judah [03063], with the tribe [07626] of Benjamin [01144], an hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] chosen men [0977], which were warriors [06213] [04421], to fight [03898] against the house [01004] of Israel [03478], to bring [07725] the kingdom [04410] again [07725] to Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010]. 11 12 22 But the word [01697] of God [0430] came unto Shemaiah [08098] the man [0376] of God [0430], saying [0559], 11 12 23 Speak [0559] unto Rehoboam [07346], the son [01121] of Solomon [08010], king [04428] of Judah [03063], and unto all the house [01004] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], and to the remnant [03499] of the people [05971], saying [0559], 11 12 24 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Ye shall not go up [05927], nor fight [03898] against your brethren [0251] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: return [07725] every man [0376] to his house [01004]; for this thing [01697] is [01961] from me. They hearkened [08085] therefore to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and returned [07725] to depart [03212], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 11 12 25 Then Jeroboam [03379] built [01129] Shechem [07927] in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and dwelt [03427] therein; and went out [03318] from thence, and built [01129] Penuel [06439]. 11 12 26 And Jeroboam [03379] said [0559] in his heart [03820], Now shall the kingdom [04467] return [07725] to the house [01004] of David [01732]: 11 12 27 If this people [05971] go up [05927] to do [06213] sacrifice [02077] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] at Jerusalem [03389], then shall the heart [03820] of this people [05971] turn again [07725] unto their lord [0113], even unto Rehoboam [07346] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and they shall kill [02026] me, and go again [07725] to Rehoboam [07346] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 11 12 28 Whereupon the king [04428] took counsel [03289], and made [06213] two [08147] calves [05695] of gold [02091], and said [0559] unto them, It is too much [07227] for you to go up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389]: behold thy gods [0430], O Israel [03478], which brought thee up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 11 12 29 And he set [07760] the one [0259] in Bethel [01008], and the other [0259] put [05414] he in Dan [01835]. 11 12 30 And this thing [01697] became a sin [02403]: for the people [05971] went [03212] to worship before [06440] the one [0259], even unto Dan [01835]. 11 12 31 And he made [06213] an house [01004] of high places [01116], and made [06213] priests [03548] of the lowest [07098] of the people [05971], which were not of the sons [01121] of Levi [03878]. 11 12 32 And Jeroboam [03379] ordained [06213] a feast [02282] in the eighth [08066] month [02320], on the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], like unto the feast [02282] that is in Judah [03063], and he offered [05927] upon the altar [04196]. So did [06213] he in Bethel [01008], sacrificing [02076] unto the calves [05695] that he had made [06213]: and he placed [05975] in Bethel [01008] the priests [03548] of the high places [01116] which he had made [06213]. 11 12 33 So he offered [05927] upon the altar [04196] which he had made [06213] in Bethel [01008] the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the eighth [08066] month [02320], even in the month [02320] which he had devised [0908] of his own heart [03820]; and ordained [06213] a feast [02282] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and he offered [05927] upon the altar [04196], and burnt incense [06999]. 11 13 1 And, behold, there came [0935] a man [0376] of God [0430] out of Judah [03063] by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Bethel [01008]: and Jeroboam [03379] stood [05975] by the altar [04196] to burn incense [06999]. 11 13 2 And he cried [07121] against the altar [04196] in the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O altar [04196], altar [04196], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, a child [01121] shall be born [03205] unto the house [01004] of David [01732], Josiah [02977] by name [08034]; and upon thee shall he offer [02076] the priests [03548] of the high places [01116] that burn incense [06999] upon thee, and men's [0120] bones [06106] shall be burnt [08313] upon thee. 11 13 3 And he gave [05414] a sign [04159] the same day [03117], saying [0559], This is the sign [04159] which the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696]; Behold, the altar [04196] shall be rent [07167], and the ashes [01880] that are upon it shall be poured out [08210]. 11 13 4 And it came to pass, when king [04428] Jeroboam [03379] heard [08085] the saying [01697] of the man [0376] of God [0430], which had cried [07121] against the altar [04196] in Bethel [01008], that he put forth [07971] his hand [03027] from the altar [04196], saying [0559], Lay hold [08610] on him. And his hand [03027], which he put forth [07971] against him, dried up [03001], so that he could [03201] not pull it in again [07725] to him. 11 13 5 The altar [04196] also was rent [07167], and the ashes [01880] poured out [08210] from the altar [04196], according to the sign [04159] which the man [0376] of God [0430] had given [05414] by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 11 13 6 And the king [04428] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto the man [0376] of God [0430], Intreat [02470] now the face [06440] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and pray [06419] for me, that my hand [03027] may be restored me again [07725]. And the man [0376] of God [0430] besought [02470] [06440] the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] hand [03027] was restored him again [07725], and became as it was before [07223]. 11 13 7 And the king [04428] said [01696] unto the man [0376] of God [0430], Come [0935] home [01004] with me, and refresh [05582] thyself, and I will give [05414] thee a reward [04991]. 11 13 8 And the man [0376] of God [0430] said [0559] unto the king [04428], If thou wilt give [05414] me half [02677] thine house [01004], I will not go in [0935] with thee, neither will I eat [0398] bread [03899] nor drink [08354] water [04325] in this place [04725]: 11 13 9 For so was it charged [06680] me by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Eat [0398] no bread [03899], nor drink [08354] water [04325], nor turn again [07725] by the same way [01870] that thou camest [01980]. 11 13 10 So he went [03212] another [0312] way [01870], and returned [07725] not by the way [01870] that he came [0935] to Bethel [01008]. 11 13 11 Now there dwelt [03427] an [0259] old [02205] prophet [05030] in Bethel [01008]; and his sons [01121] came [0935] and told [05608] him all the works [04639] that the man [0376] of God [0430] had done [06213] that day [03117] in Bethel [01008]: the words [01697] which he had spoken [01696] unto the king [04428], them they told [05608] also to their father [01]. 11 13 12 And their father [01] said [01696] unto them, What way [01870] went [01980] he? For his sons [01121] had seen [07200] what [0335] way [01870] the man [0376] of God [0430] went [01980], which came [0935] from Judah [03063]. 11 13 13 And he said [0559] unto his sons [01121], Saddle [02280] me the ass [02543]. So they saddled [02280] him the ass [02543]: and he rode [07392] thereon, 11 13 14 And went [03212] after [0310] the man [0376] of God [0430], and found [04672] him sitting [03427] under an oak [0424]: and he said [0559] unto him, Art thou the man [0376] of God [0430] that camest [0935] from Judah [03063]? And he said [0559], I am. 11 13 15 Then he said [0559] unto him, Come [03212] home [01004] with me, and eat [0398] bread [03899]. 11 13 16 And he said [0559], I may [03201] not return [07725] with thee, nor go in [0935] with thee: neither will I eat [0398] bread [03899] nor drink [08354] water [04325] with thee in this place [04725]: 11 13 17 For it was said [01697] to me by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], Thou shalt eat [0398] no bread [03899] nor drink [08354] water [04325] there, nor turn again [07725] to go [03212] by the way [01870] that thou camest [01980]. 11 13 18 He said [0559] unto him, I am a prophet [05030] also as thou art; and an angel [04397] spake [01696] unto me by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], Bring him back [07725] with thee into thine house [01004], that he may eat [0398] bread [03899] and drink [08354] water [04325]. But he lied [03584] unto him. 11 13 19 So he went back [07725] with him, and did eat [0398] bread [03899] in his house [01004], and drank [08354] water [04325]. 11 13 20 And it came to pass, as they sat [03427] at the table [07979], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto the prophet [05030] that brought him back [07725]: 11 13 21 And he cried [07121] unto the man [0376] of God [0430] that came [0935] from Judah [03063], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Forasmuch as [03282] thou hast disobeyed [04784] the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068], and hast not kept [08104] the commandment [04687] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] thee, 11 13 22 But camest back [07725], and hast eaten [0398] bread [03899] and drunk [08354] water [04325] in the place [04725], of the which the LORD did say [01696] to thee, Eat [0398] no bread [03899], and drink [08354] no water [04325]; thy carcase [05038] shall not come [0935] unto the sepulchre [06913] of thy fathers [01]. 11 13 23 And it came to pass, after [0310] he had eaten [0398] bread [03899], and after [0310] he had drunk [08354], that he saddled [02280] for him the ass [02543], to wit, for the prophet [05030] whom he had brought back [07725]. 11 13 24 And when he was gone [03212], a lion [0738] met [04672] him by the way [01870], and slew [04191] him: and his carcase [05038] was cast [07993] in the way [01870], and the ass [02543] stood [05975] by [0681] it, the lion [0738] also stood [05975] by the carcase [05038]. 11 13 25 And, behold, men [0582] passed by [05674], and saw [07200] the carcase [05038] cast [07993] in the way [01870], and the lion [0738] standing [05975] by [0681] the carcase [05038]: and they came [0935] and told [01696] it in the city [05892] where the old [02205] prophet [05030] dwelt [03427]. 11 13 26 And when the prophet [05030] that brought him back [07725] from the way [01870] heard [08085] thereof, he said [0559], It is the man [0376] of God [0430], who was disobedient [04784] unto the word [06310] of the LORD [03068]: therefore the LORD [03068] hath delivered [05414] him unto the lion [0738], which hath torn [07665] him, and slain [04191] him, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] unto him. 11 13 27 And he spake [01696] to his sons [01121], saying [0559], Saddle [02280] me the ass [02543]. And they saddled [02280] him. 11 13 28 And he went [03212] and found [04672] his carcase [05038] cast [07993] in the way [01870], and the ass [02543] and the lion [0738] standing [05975] by [0681] the carcase [05038]: the lion [0738] had not eaten [0398] the carcase [05038], nor torn [07665] the ass [02543]. 11 13 29 And the prophet [05030] took up [05375] the carcase [05038] of the man [0376] of God [0430], and laid [03240] it upon the ass [02543], and brought it back [07725]: and the old [02205] prophet [05030] came [0935] to the city [05892], to mourn [05594] and to bury [06912] him. 11 13 30 And he laid [03240] his carcase [05038] in his own grave [06913]; and they mourned [05594] over him, saying, Alas [01945], my brother [0251]! 11 13 31 And it came to pass, after [0310] he had buried [06912] him, that he spake [0559] to his sons [01121], saying [0559], When I am dead [04191], then bury [06912] me in the sepulchre [06913] wherein the man [0376] of God [0430] is buried [06912]; lay [03240] my bones [06106] beside [0681] his bones [06106]: 11 13 32 For the saying [01697] which he cried [07121] by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] against the altar [04196] in Bethel [01008], and against all the houses [01004] of the high places [01116] which are in the cities [05892] of Samaria [08111], shall surely come to pass. 11 13 33 After [0310] this thing [01697] Jeroboam [03379] returned [07725] not from his evil [07451] way [01870], but made [06213] again [07725] of the lowest [07098] of the people [05971] priests [03548] of the high places [01116]: whosoever would [02655], he consecrated [04390] [03027] him, and he became one of the priests [03548] of the high places [01116]. 11 13 34 And this thing [01697] became sin [02403] unto the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379], even to cut it off [03582], and to destroy [08045] it from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 11 14 1 At that time [06256] Abijah [029] the son [01121] of Jeroboam [03379] fell sick [02470]. 11 14 2 And Jeroboam [03379] said [0559] to his wife [0802], Arise [06965], I pray thee, and disguise [08138] thyself, that thou be not known [03045] to be the wife [0802] of Jeroboam [03379]; and get [01980] thee to Shiloh [07887]: behold, there is Ahijah [0281] the prophet [05030], which told [01696] me that I should be king [04428] over this people [05971]. 11 14 3 And take [03947] with thee [03027] ten [06235] loaves [03899], and cracknels [05350], and a cruse [01228] of honey [01706], and go [0935] to him: he shall tell [05046] thee what shall become of the child [05288]. 11 14 4 And Jeroboam's [03379] wife [0802] did so [06213], and arose [06965], and went [03212] to Shiloh [07887], and came [0935] to the house [01004] of Ahijah [0281]. But Ahijah [0281] could [03201] not see [07200]; for his eyes [05869] were set [06965] by reason of his age [07869]. 11 14 5 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Ahijah [0281], Behold, the wife [0802] of Jeroboam [03379] cometh [0935] to ask [01875] a thing [01697] of thee for her son [01121]; for he is sick [02470]: thus [02090] and thus shalt thou say [01696] unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in [0935], that she shall feign herself to be another [05234] woman. 11 14 6 And it was so, when Ahijah [0281] heard [08085] the sound [06963] of her feet [07272], as she came in [0935] at the door [06607], that he said [0559], Come in [0935], thou wife [0802] of Jeroboam [03379]; why feignest thou thyself to be another [05234]? for I am sent [07971] to thee with heavy [07186] tidings. 11 14 7 Go [03212], tell [0559] Jeroboam [03379], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Forasmuch as [03282] I exalted [07311] thee from among [08432] the people [05971], and made [05414] thee prince [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478], 11 14 8 And rent [07167] the kingdom [04467] away [07167] from the house [01004] of David [01732], and gave [05414] it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant [05650] David [01732], who kept [08104] my commandments [04687], and who followed [01980] [0310] me with all his heart [03824], to do [06213] that only which was right [03477] in mine eyes [05869]; 11 14 9 But hast done [06213] evil [07489] above all that were before [06440] thee: for thou hast gone [03212] and made [06213] thee other [0312] gods [0430], and molten images [04541], to provoke me to anger [03707], and hast cast [07993] me behind [0310] thy back [01458]: 11 14 10 Therefore, behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379], and will cut off [03772] from Jeroboam [03379] him that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023], and him that is shut up [06113] and left [05800] in Israel [03478], and will take away [01197] the remnant [0310] of the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379], as a man taketh away [01197] dung [01557], till it be all gone [08552]. 11 14 11 Him that dieth [04191] of Jeroboam [03379] in the city [05892] shall the dogs [03611] eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] in the field [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 11 14 12 Arise [06965] thou therefore, get [03212] thee to thine own house [01004]: and when thy feet [07272] enter [0935] into the city [05892], the child [03206] shall die [04191]. 11 14 13 And all Israel [03478] shall mourn [05594] for him, and bury [06912] him: for he only of Jeroboam [03379] shall come [0935] to the grave [06913], because in him there is found [04672] some good [02896] thing [01697] toward the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]. 11 14 14 Moreover the LORD [03068] shall raise him up [06965] a king [04428] over Israel [03478], who shall cut off [03772] the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] that day [03117]: but what? even now. 11 14 15 For the LORD [03068] shall smite [05221] Israel [03478], as a reed [07070] is shaken [05110] in the water [04325], and he shall root up [05428] Israel [03478] out of this good [02896] land [0127], which he gave [05414] to their fathers [01], and shall scatter [02219] them beyond [05676] the river [05104], because they have made [06213] their groves [0842], provoking the LORD [03068] to anger [03707]. 11 14 16 And he shall give [05414] Israel [03478] up [05414] because [01558] of the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379], who did sin [02398], and who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 11 14 17 And Jeroboam's [03379] wife [0802] arose [06965], and departed [03212], and came [0935] to Tirzah [08656]: and when she came [0935] to the threshold [05592] of the door [01004], the child [05288] died [04191]; 11 14 18 And they buried [06912] him; and all Israel [03478] mourned [05594] for him, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by the hand [03027] of his servant [05650] Ahijah [0281] the prophet [05030]. 11 14 19 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jeroboam [03379], how he warred [03898], and how he reigned [04427], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 11 14 20 And the days [03117] which Jeroboam [03379] reigned [04427] were two [08147] and twenty [06242] years [08141]: and he slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and Nadab [05070] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 14 21 And Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010] reigned [04427] in Judah [03063]. Rehoboam [07346] was forty [0705] and one [0259] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] seventeen [07651] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389], the city [05892] which the LORD [03068] did choose [0977] out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], to put [07760] his name [08034] there. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Naamah [05279] an Ammonitess [05985]. 11 14 22 And Judah [03063] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and they provoked him to jealousy [07065] with their sins [02403] which they had committed [02398], above all that their fathers [01] had done [06213]. 11 14 23 For they also built [01129] them high places [01116], and images [04676], and groves [0842], on every high [01364] hill [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]. 11 14 24 And there were also sodomites [06945] in the land [0776]: and they did [06213] according to all the abominations [08441] of the nations [01471] which the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 11 14 25 And it came to pass in the fifth [02549] year [08141] of king [04428] Rehoboam [07346], that Shishak [07895] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came up [05927] against Jerusalem [03389]: 11 14 26 And he took away [03947] the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004]; he even took away [03947] all: and he took away [03947] all the shields [04043] of gold [02091] which Solomon [08010] had made [06213]. 11 14 27 And king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] made [06213] in their stead brasen [05178] shields [04043], and committed [06485] them unto the hands [03027] of the chief [08269] of the guard [07323], which kept [08104] the door [06607] of the king's [04428] house [01004]. 11 14 28 And it was so, when [01767] the king [04428] went [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], that the guard [07323] bare [05375] them, and brought them back [07725] into the guard [07323] chamber [08372]. 11 14 29 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Rehoboam [07346], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 11 14 30 And there was war [04421] between Rehoboam [07346] and Jeroboam [03379] all their days [03117]. 11 14 31 And Rehoboam [07346] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Naamah [05279] an Ammonitess [05985]. And Abijam [038] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 15 1 Now in the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028] reigned [04427] Abijam [038] over Judah [03063]. 11 15 2 Three [07969] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Maachah [04601], the daughter [01323] of Abishalom [053]. 11 15 3 And he walked [03212] in all the sins [02403] of his father [01], which he had done [06213] before [06440] him: and his heart [03824] was not perfect [08003] with the LORD [03068] his God [0430], as the heart [03824] of David [01732] his father [01]. 11 15 4 Nevertheless for David's [01732] sake did the LORD [03068] his God [0430] give [05414] him a lamp [05216] in Jerusalem [03389], to set up [06965] his son [01121] after [0310] him, and to establish [05975] Jerusalem [03389]: 11 15 5 Because David [01732] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], and turned not aside [05493] from any thing that he commanded [06680] him all the days [03117] of his life [02416], save only in the matter [01697] of Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850]. 11 15 6 And there was war [04421] between Rehoboam [07346] and Jeroboam [03379] all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 11 15 7 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Abijam [038], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? And there was war [04421] between Abijam [038] and Jeroboam [03379]. 11 15 8 And Abijam [038] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Asa [0609] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 15 9 And in the twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Jeroboam [03379] king [04428] of Israel [03478] reigned [04427] Asa [0609] over Judah [03063]. 11 15 10 And forty [0705] and one [0259] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Maachah [04601], the daughter [01323] of Abishalom [053]. 11 15 11 And Asa [0609] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], as did David [01732] his father [01]. 11 15 12 And he took away [05674] the sodomites [06945] out of the land [0776], and removed [05493] all the idols [01544] that his fathers [01] had made [06213]. 11 15 13 And also Maachah [04601] his mother [0517], even her he removed [05493] from being queen [01377], because she had made [06213] an idol [04656] in a grove [0842]; and Asa [0609] destroyed [03772] her idol [04656], and burnt [08313] it by the brook [05158] Kidron [06939]. 11 15 14 But the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: nevertheless Asa's [0609] heart [03824] was perfect [08003] with the LORD [03068] all his days [03117]. 11 15 15 And he brought [0935] in the things [06944] which his father [01] had dedicated [06944], and the things which himself had dedicated [06944], into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], silver [03701], and gold [02091], and vessels [03627]. 11 15 16 And there was war [04421] between Asa [0609] and Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478] all their days [03117]. 11 15 17 And Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478] went up [05927] against Judah [03063], and built [01129] Ramah [07414], that he might not suffer [05414] any to go out [03318] or come in [0935] to Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 11 15 18 Then Asa [0609] took [03947] all the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] that were left [03498] in the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of his servants [05650]: and king [04428] Asa [0609] sent [07971] them to Benhadad [01130], the son [01121] of Tabrimon [02886], the son [01121] of Hezion [02383], king [04428] of Syria [0758], that dwelt [03427] at Damascus [01834], saying [0559], 11 15 19 There is a league [01285] between me and thee, and between my father [01] and thy father [01]: behold, I have sent [07971] unto thee a present [07810] of silver [03701] and gold [02091]; come [03212] and break [06565] thy league [01285] with Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that he may depart [05927] from me. 11 15 20 So Benhadad [01130] hearkened [08085] unto king [04428] Asa [0609], and sent [07971] the captains [08269] of the hosts [02428] which he had against the cities [05892] of Israel [03478], and smote [05221] Ijon [05859], and Dan [01835], and Abelbethmaachah [062], and all Cinneroth [03672], with all the land [0776] of Naphtali [05321]. 11 15 21 And it came to pass, when Baasha [01201] heard [08085] thereof, that he left off [02308] building [01129] of Ramah [07414], and dwelt [03427] in Tirzah [08656]. 11 15 22 Then king [04428] Asa [0609] made a proclamation [08085] throughout all Judah [03063]; none was exempted [05355]: and they took [05375] away the stones [068] of Ramah [07414], and the timber [06086] thereof, wherewith Baasha [01201] had builded [01129]; and king [04428] Asa [0609] built [01129] with them Geba [01387] of Benjamin [01144], and Mizpah [04709]. 11 15 23 The rest [03499] of all the acts [01697] of Asa [0609], and all his might [01369], and all that he did [06213], and the cities [05892] which he built [01129], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? Nevertheless in the time [06256] of his old age [02209] he was diseased [02470] in his feet [07272]. 11 15 24 And Asa [0609] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]: and Jehoshaphat [03092] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 15 25 And Nadab [05070] the son [01121] of Jeroboam [03379] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in the second [08147] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] two [08147] years [08141]. 11 15 26 And he did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and walked [03212] in the way [01870] of his father [01], and in his sin [02403] wherewith he made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 11 15 27 And Baasha [01201] the son [01121] of Ahijah [0281], of the house [01004] of Issachar [03485], conspired [07194] against him; and Baasha [01201] smote [05221] him at Gibbethon [01405], which belonged to the Philistines [06430]; for Nadab [05070] and all Israel [03478] laid siege [06696] to Gibbethon [01405]. 11 15 28 Even in the third [07969] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did Baasha [01201] slay [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 15 29 And it came to pass, when he reigned [04427], that he smote [05221] all the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]; he left [07604] not to Jeroboam [03379] any that breathed [05397], until he had destroyed [08045] him, according unto the saying [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888]: 11 15 30 Because of the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] which he sinned [02398], and which he made Israel [03478] sin [02398], by his provocation [03708] wherewith he provoked the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] to anger [03707]. 11 15 31 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Nadab [05070], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 15 32 And there was war [04421] between Asa [0609] and Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478] all their days [03117]. 11 15 33 In the third [07969] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Baasha [01201] the son [01121] of Ahijah [0281] to reign [04427] over all Israel [03478] in Tirzah [08656], twenty [06242] and four [0702] years [08141]. 11 15 34 And he did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and walked [03212] in the way [01870] of Jeroboam [03379], and in his sin [02403] wherewith he made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 11 16 1 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607] against Baasha [01201], saying [0559], 11 16 2 Forasmuch as I exalted [07311] thee out of the dust [06083], and made [05414] thee prince [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478]; and thou hast walked [03212] in the way [01870] of Jeroboam [03379], and hast made my people [05971] Israel [03478] to sin [02398], to provoke me to anger [03707] with their sins [02403]; 11 16 3 Behold, I will take away [01197] the posterity [0310] of Baasha [01201], and the posterity [0310] of his house [01004]; and will make [05414] thy house [01004] like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028]. 11 16 4 Him that dieth [04191] of Baasha [01201] in the city [05892] shall the dogs [03611] eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] of his in the fields [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398]. 11 16 5 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Baasha [01201], and what he did [06213], and his might [01369], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 16 6 So Baasha [01201] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in Tirzah [08656]: and Elah [0425] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 16 7 And also by the hand [03027] of the prophet [05030] Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607] came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] against Baasha [01201], and against his house [01004], even for all the evil [07451] that he did [06213] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], in provoking him to anger [03707] with the work [04639] of his hands [03027], in being like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379]; and because he killed [05221] him. 11 16 8 In the twenty [06242] [08141] and sixth [08337] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Elah [0425] the son [01121] of Baasha [01201] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Tirzah [08656], two years [08141]. 11 16 9 And his servant [05650] Zimri [02174], captain [08269] of half [04276] his chariots [07393], conspired [07194] against him, as he was in Tirzah [08656], drinking [08354] himself drunk [07910] in the house [01004] of Arza [0777] steward of his house [01004] in Tirzah [08656]. 11 16 10 And Zimri [02174] went in [0935] and smote [05221] him, and killed [04191] him, in the twenty [06242] and seventh [07651] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 16 11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign [04427], as soon as he sat [03427] on his throne [03678], that he slew [05221] all the house [01004] of Baasha [01201]: he left [07604] him not one that pisseth [08366] against a wall [07023], neither of his kinsfolks [01350], nor of his friends [07453]. 11 16 12 Thus did Zimri [02174] destroy [08045] all the house [01004] of Baasha [01201], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] against Baasha [01201] by [03027] Jehu [03058] the prophet [05030], 11 16 13 For all the sins [02403] of Baasha [01201], and the sins [02403] of Elah [0425] his son [01121], by which they sinned [02398], and by which they made Israel [03478] to sin [02398], in provoking the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] to anger [03707] with their vanities [01892]. 11 16 14 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Elah [0425], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 16 15 In the twenty [06242] [08141] and seventh [07651] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did Zimri [02174] reign [04427] seven [07651] days [03117] in Tirzah [08656]. And the people [05971] were encamped [02583] against Gibbethon [01405], which belonged to the Philistines [06430]. 11 16 16 And the people [05971] that were encamped [02583] heard [08085] say [0559], Zimri [02174] hath conspired [07194], and hath also slain [05221] the king [04428]: wherefore all Israel [03478] made Omri [06018], the captain [08269] of the host [06635], king [04427] over Israel [03478] that day [03117] in the camp [04264]. 11 16 17 And Omri [06018] went up [05927] from Gibbethon [01405], and all Israel [03478] with him, and they besieged [06696] Tirzah [08656]. 11 16 18 And it came to pass, when Zimri [02174] saw [07200] that the city [05892] was taken [03920], that he went [0935] into the palace [0759] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and burnt [08313] the king's [04428] house [01004] over him with fire [0784], and died [04191], 11 16 19 For his sins [02403] which he sinned [02398] in doing [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], in walking [03212] in the way [01870] of Jeroboam [03379], and in his sin [02403] which he did [06213], to make Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 11 16 20 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Zimri [02174], and his treason [07195] that he wrought [07194], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 16 21 Then were the people [05971] of Israel [03478] divided [02505] into two parts [02677]: half [02677] of the people [05971] followed [01961] [0310] Tibni [08402] the son [01121] of Ginath [01527], to make him king [04427]; and half [02677] followed [0310] Omri [06018]. 11 16 22 But the people [05971] that followed [0310] Omri [06018] prevailed [02388] against [0854] the people [05971] that followed [0310] Tibni [08402] the son [01121] of Ginath [01527]: so Tibni [08402] died [04191], and Omri [06018] reigned [04427]. 11 16 23 In the thirty [07970] [08141] and first [0259] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Omri [06018] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478], twelve [08147] [06240] years [08141]: six [08337] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Tirzah [08656]. 11 16 24 And he bought [07069] the hill [02022] Samaria [08111] of Shemer [08106] for two talents [03603] of silver [03701], and built [01129] on the hill [02022], and called [07121] the name [08034] of the city [05892] which he built [01129], after the name [08034] of Shemer [08106], owner [0113] of the hill [02022], Samaria [08111]. 11 16 25 But Omri [06018] wrought [06213] evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], and did worse [07489] than all that were before [06440] him. 11 16 26 For he walked [03212] in all the way [01870] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], and in his sin [02403] wherewith he made Israel [03478] to sin [02398], to provoke the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] to anger [03707] with their vanities [01892]. 11 16 27 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Omri [06018] which he did [06213], and his might [01369] that he shewed [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 16 28 So Omri [06018] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in Samaria [08111]: and Ahab [0256] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 16 29 And in the thirty [07970] [08141] and eighth [08083] year [08141] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Ahab [0256] the son [01121] of Omri [06018] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478]: and Ahab [0256] the son [01121] of Omri [06018] reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] twenty [06242] and two [08147] years [08141]. 11 16 30 And Ahab [0256] the son [01121] of Omri [06018] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] above all that were before [06440] him. 11 16 31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing [07043] for him to walk [03212] in the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], that he took [03947] to wife [0802] Jezebel [0348] the daughter [01323] of Ethbaal [0856] king [04428] of the Zidonians [06722], and went [03212] and served [05647] Baal [01168], and worshipped [07812] him. 11 16 32 And he reared up [06965] an altar [04196] for Baal [01168] in the house [01004] of Baal [01168], which he had built [01129] in Samaria [08111]. 11 16 33 And Ahab [0256] made [06213] a grove [0842]; and Ahab [0256] did [06213] more [03254] to provoke the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] to anger [03707] than all the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] that were before [06440] him. 11 16 34 In his days [03117] did Hiel [02419] the Bethelite [01017] build [01129] Jericho [03405]: he laid the foundation [03245] thereof in Abiram [048] his firstborn [01060], and set up [05324] the gates [01817] thereof in his youngest [06810] son Segub [07687], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]. 11 17 1 And Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], who was of the inhabitants [08453] of Gilead [01568], said [0559] unto Ahab [0256], As the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], there shall not be dew [02919] nor rain [04306] these years [08141], but according [06310] to my word [01697]. 11 17 2 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto him, saying [0559], 11 17 3 Get [03212] thee hence, and turn [06437] thee eastward [06924], and hide [05641] thyself by the brook [05158] Cherith [03747], that is before [06440] Jordan [03383]. 11 17 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink [08354] of the brook [05158]; and I have commanded [06680] the ravens [06158] to feed [03557] thee there. 11 17 5 So he went [03212] and did [06213] according unto the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: for he went [03212] and dwelt [03427] by the brook [05158] Cherith [03747], that is before [06440] Jordan [03383]. 11 17 6 And the ravens [06158] brought [0935] him bread [03899] and flesh [01320] in the morning [01242], and bread [03899] and flesh [01320] in the evening [06153]; and he drank [08354] of the brook [05158]. 11 17 7 And it came to pass after [07093] a while [03117], that the brook [05158] dried up [03001], because there had been no rain [01653] in the land [0776]. 11 17 8 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto him, saying [0559], 11 17 9 Arise [06965], get [03212] thee to Zarephath [06886], which belongeth to Zidon [06721], and dwell [03427] there: behold, I have commanded [06680] a widow [0490] woman [0802] there to sustain [03557] thee. 11 17 10 So he arose [06965] and went [03212] to Zarephath [06886]. And when he came [0935] to the gate [06607] of the city [05892], behold, the widow [0490] woman [0802] was there gathering [07197] of sticks [06086]: and he called [07121] to her, and said [0559], Fetch [03947] me, I pray thee, a little [04592] water [04325] in a vessel [03627], that I may drink [08354]. 11 17 11 And as she was going [03212] to fetch [03947] it, he called [07121] to her, and said [0559], Bring [03947] me, I pray thee, a morsel [06595] of bread [03899] in thine hand [03027]. 11 17 12 And she said [0559], As the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] liveth [02416], I have [03426] not a cake [04580], but an handful [04393] [03709] of meal [07058] in a barrel [03537], and a little [04592] oil [08081] in a cruse [06835]: and, behold, I am gathering [07197] two [08147] sticks [06086], that I may go in [0935] and dress [06213] it for me and my son [01121], that we may eat [0398] it, and die [04191]. 11 17 13 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto her, Fear [03372] not; go [0935] and do [06213] as thou hast said [01697]: but make [06213] me thereof [08033] a little [06996] cake [05692] first [07223], and bring [03318] it unto me, and after [0314] make [06213] for thee and for thy son [01121]. 11 17 14 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], The barrel [03537] of meal [07058] shall not waste [03615], neither shall the cruse [06835] of oil [08081] fail [02637], until the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] sendeth [05414] rain [01653] upon [06440] the earth [0127]. 11 17 15 And she went [03212] and did [06213] according to the saying [01697] of Elijah [0452]: and she, and he, and her house [01004], did eat [0398] many days [03117]. 11 17 16 And the barrel [03537] of meal [07058] wasted [03615] not, neither did the cruse [06835] of oil [08081] fail [02638], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] Elijah [0452]. 11 17 17 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that the son [01121] of the woman [0802], the mistress [01172] of the house [01004], fell sick [02470]; and his sickness [02483] was so [03966] sore [02389], that there was no breath [05397] left [03498] in him. 11 17 18 And she said [0559] unto Elijah [0452], What have I to do with thee, O thou man [0376] of God [0430]? art thou come [0935] unto me to call [02142] my sin [05771] to remembrance [02142], and to slay [04191] my son [01121]? 11 17 19 And he said [0559] unto her, Give [05414] me thy son [01121]. And he took [03947] him out of her bosom [02436], and carried him up [05927] into a loft [05944], where he abode [03427], and laid [07901] him upon his own bed [04296]. 11 17 20 And he cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], hast thou also brought evil [07489] upon the widow [0490] with whom I sojourn [01481], by slaying [04191] her son [01121]? 11 17 21 And he stretched [04058] himself upon the child [03206] three [07969] times [06471], and cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], I pray thee, let this child's [03206] soul [05315] come [07725] into him [07130] again [07725]. 11 17 22 And the LORD [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of Elijah [0452]; and the soul [05315] of the child [03206] came [07725] into him [07130] again [07725], and he revived [02421]. 11 17 23 And Elijah [0452] took [03947] the child [03206], and brought him down [03381] out of the chamber [05944] into the house [01004], and delivered [05414] him unto his mother [0517]: and Elijah [0452] said [0559], See [07200], thy son [01121] liveth [02416]. 11 17 24 And the woman [0802] said [0559] to Elijah [0452], Now by this [02088] I know [03045] that thou art a man [0376] of God [0430], and that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] in thy mouth [06310] is truth [0571]. 11 18 1 And it came to pass after many [07227] days [03117], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Elijah [0452] in the third [07992] year [08141], saying [0559], Go [03212], shew [07200] thyself unto Ahab [0256]; and I will send [05414] rain [04306] upon [06440] the earth [0127]. 11 18 2 And Elijah [0452] went [03212] to shew [07200] himself unto Ahab [0256]. And there was a sore [02389] famine [07458] in Samaria [08111]. 11 18 3 And Ahab [0256] called [07121] Obadiah [05662], which was the governor of his house [01004]. (Now Obadiah [05662] feared [03373] the LORD [03068] greatly [03966]: 11 18 4 For it was so, when Jezebel [0348] cut off [03772] the prophets [05030] of the LORD [03068], that Obadiah [05662] took [03947] an hundred [03967] prophets [05030], and hid [02244] them by fifty [0376] [02572] in a cave [04631], and fed [03557] them with bread [03899] and water [04325].) 11 18 5 And Ahab [0256] said [0559] unto Obadiah [05662], Go [03212] into the land [0776], unto all fountains [04599] of water [04325], and unto all brooks [05158]: peradventure [0194] we may find [04672] grass [02682] to save [02421] the horses [05483] and mules [06505] alive [02421], that we lose [03772] not all the beasts [0929]. 11 18 6 So they divided [02505] the land [0776] between them to pass throughout [05674] it: Ahab [0256] went [01980] one [0259] way [01870] by himself, and Obadiah [05662] went [01980] another [0259] way [01870] by himself. 11 18 7 And as Obadiah [05662] was in the way [01870], behold, Elijah [0452] met [07125] him: and he knew [05234] him, and fell [05307] on his face [06440], and said [0559], Art thou that my lord [0113] Elijah [0452]? 11 18 8 And he answered [0559] him, I am: go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here. 11 18 9 And he said [0559], What have I sinned [02398], that thou wouldest deliver [05414] thy servant [05650] into the hand [03027] of Ahab [0256], to slay [04191] me? 11 18 10 As the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] liveth [02416], there is no [03426] nation [01471] or kingdom [04467], whither [0834] my lord [0113] hath not sent [07971] to seek [01245] thee: and when they said [0559], He is not there; he took an oath [07650] of the kingdom [04467] and nation [01471], that they found [04672] thee not. 11 18 11 And now thou sayest [0559], Go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here. 11 18 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone [03212] from thee, that the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall carry [05375] thee whither I know [03045] not; and so when I come [0935] and tell [05046] Ahab [0256], and he cannot find [04672] thee, he shall slay [02026] me: but I thy servant [05650] fear [03372] the LORD [03068] from my youth [05271]. 11 18 13 Was it not told [05046] my lord [0113] what I did [06213] when Jezebel [0348] slew [02026] the prophets [05030] of the LORD [03068], how I hid [02244] an hundred [03967] men [0376] of the LORD'S [03068] prophets [05030] by fifty [02572] in a cave [04631], and fed [03557] them with bread [03899] and water [04325]? 11 18 14 And now thou sayest [0559], Go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here: and he shall slay [02026] me. 11 18 15 And Elijah [0452] said [0559], As the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], I will surely shew [07200] myself unto him to day [03117]. 11 18 16 So Obadiah [05662] went [03212] to meet [07125] Ahab [0256], and told [05046] him: and Ahab [0256] went [03212] to meet [07125] Elijah [0452]. 11 18 17 And it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] saw [07200] Elijah [0452], that Ahab [0256] said [0559] unto him, Art thou he that troubleth [05916] Israel [03478]? 11 18 18 And he answered [0559], I have not troubled [05916] Israel [03478]; but thou, and thy father's [01] house [01004], in that ye have forsaken [05800] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], and thou hast followed [03212] [0310] Baalim [01168]. 11 18 19 Now therefore send [07971], and gather [06908] to me all Israel [03478] unto mount [02022] Carmel [03760], and the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168] four [0702] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572], and the prophets [05030] of the groves [0842] four [0702] hundred [03967], which eat [0398] at Jezebel's [0348] table [07979]. 11 18 20 So Ahab [0256] sent [07971] unto all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and gathered [06908] the prophets [05030] together [06908] unto mount [02022] Carmel [03760]. 11 18 21 And Elijah [0452] came [05066] unto all the people [05971], and said [0559], How long [05921] halt [06452] ye between two [08147] opinions [05587]? if the LORD [03068] be God [0430], follow him: but if Baal [01168], then follow [03212] [0310] him. And the people [05971] answered [06030] him not a word [01697]. 11 18 22 Then said [0559] Elijah [0452] unto the people [05971], I, even I only, remain [03498] a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068]; but Baal's [01168] prophets [05030] are four [0702] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] men [0376]. 11 18 23 Let them therefore give [05414] us two [08147] bullocks [06499]; and let them choose [0977] one [0259] bullock [06499] for themselves, and cut it in pieces [05408], and lay [07760] it on wood [06086], and put [07760] no fire [0784] under: and I will dress [06213] the other [0259] bullock [06499], and lay [05414] it on wood [06086], and put [07760] no fire [0784] under: 11 18 24 And call [07121] ye on the name [08034] of your gods [0430], and I will call [07121] on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]: and the God [0430] that answereth [06030] by fire [0784], let him be God [0430]. And all the people [05971] answered [06030] and said [0559], It is well [02896] spoken [01697]. 11 18 25 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168], Choose [0977] you one [0259] bullock [06499] for yourselves, and dress [06213] it first [07223]; for ye are many [07227]; and call [07121] on the name [08034] of your gods [0430], but put [07760] no fire [0784] under. 11 18 26 And they took [03947] the bullock [06499] which was given [05414] them, and they dressed [06213] it, and called [07121] on the name [08034] of Baal [01168] from morning [01242] even until noon [06672], saying [0559], O Baal [01168], hear [06030] us. But there was no [0369] voice [06963], nor any that answered [06030]. And they leaped [06452] upon the altar [04196] which was made [06213]. 11 18 27 And it came to pass at noon [06672], that Elijah [0452] mocked [02048] them, and said [0559], Cry [07121] aloud [01419] [06963]: for he is a god [0430]; either he is talking [07879], or he is pursuing [07873], or he is in a journey [01870], or peradventure [0194] he sleepeth [03463], and must be awaked [03364]. 11 18 28 And they cried [07121] aloud [06963] [01419], and cut [01413] themselves after their manner [04941] with knives [02719] and lancets [07420], till the blood [01818] gushed out [08210] upon them. 11 18 29 And it came to pass, when midday [06672] was past [05674], and they prophesied [05012] until the time of the offering [05927] of the evening sacrifice [04503], that there was neither voice [06963], nor any to answer [06030], nor any that regarded [07182]. 11 18 30 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], Come near [05066] unto me. And all the people [05971] came near [05066] unto him. And he repaired [07495] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] that was broken down [02040]. 11 18 31 And Elijah [0452] took [03947] twelve [08147] [06240] stones [068], according to the number [04557] of the tribes [07626] of the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290], unto whom the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came, saying [0559], Israel [03478] shall be thy name [08034]: 11 18 32 And with the stones [068] he built [01129] an altar [04196] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]: and he made [06213] a trench [08585] about [05439] the altar [04196], as great as would contain [01004] two measures [05429] of seed [02233]. 11 18 33 And he put [06186] the wood [06086] in order [06186], and cut [05408] the bullock [06499] in pieces, and laid [07760] him on the wood [06086], and said [0559], Fill [04390] four [0702] barrels [03537] with water [04325], and pour [03332] it on the burnt sacrifice [05930], and on the wood [06086]. 11 18 34 And he said [0559], Do it the second time [08138]. And they did it the second time [08138]. And he said [0559], Do it the third time [08027]. And they did it the third time [08027]. 11 18 35 And the water [04325] ran [03212] round about [05439] the altar [04196]; and he filled [04390] the trench [08585] also with water [04325]. 11 18 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering [05927] of the evening sacrifice [04503], that Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030] came near [05066], and said [0559], LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and of Israel [03478], let it be known [03045] this day [03117] that thou art God [0430] in Israel [03478], and that I am thy servant [05650], and that I have done [06213] all these things at thy word [01697]. 11 18 37 Hear [06030] me, O LORD [03068], hear [06030] me, that this people [05971] may know [03045] that thou art the LORD [03068] God [0430], and that thou hast turned [05437] their heart [03820] back [05437] again [0322]. 11 18 38 Then the fire [0784] of the LORD [03068] fell [05307], and consumed [0398] the burnt sacrifice [05930], and the wood [06086], and the stones [068], and the dust [06083], and licked up [03897] the water [04325] that was in the trench [08585]. 11 18 39 And when all the people [05971] saw [07200] it, they fell [05307] on their faces [06440]: and they said [0559], The LORD [03068], he is the God [0430]; the LORD [03068], he is the God [0430]. 11 18 40 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto them, Take [08610] the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168]; let not one [0376] of them escape [04422]. And they took [08610] them: and Elijah [0452] brought them down [03381] to the brook [05158] Kishon [07028], and slew [07819] them there. 11 18 41 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Ahab [0256], Get thee up [05927], eat [0398] and drink [08354]; for there is a sound [06963] of abundance [01995] of rain [01653]. 11 18 42 So Ahab [0256] went up [05927] to eat [0398] and to drink [08354]. And Elijah [0452] went up [05927] to the top [07218] of Carmel [03760]; and he cast himself down [01457] upon the earth [0776], and put [07760] his face [06440] between his knees [01290], 11 18 43 And said [0559] to his servant [05288], Go up [05927] now, look [05027] toward [01870] the sea [03220]. And he went up [05927], and looked [05027], and said [0559], There is nothing [03972]. And he said [0559], Go again [07725] seven [07651] times [06471]. 11 18 44 And it came to pass at the seventh time [07637], that he said [0559], Behold, there ariseth [05927] a little [06996] cloud [05645] out of the sea [03220], like a man's [0376] hand [03709]. And he said [0559], Go up [05927], say [0559] unto Ahab [0256], Prepare [0631] thy chariot, and get thee down [03381], that the rain [01653] stop [06113] thee not. 11 18 45 And it came to pass in the mean while [03541], that the heaven [08064] was black [06937] with clouds [05645] and wind [07307], and there was a great [01419] rain [01653]. And Ahab [0256] rode [07392], and went [03212] to Jezreel [03157]. 11 18 46 And the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was on Elijah [0452]; and he girded up [08151] his loins [04975], and ran [07323] before [06440] Ahab [0256] to the entrance [0935] of Jezreel [03157]. 11 19 1 And Ahab [0256] told [05046] Jezebel [0348] all that Elijah [0452] had done [06213], and withal how he had slain [02026] all the prophets [05030] with the sword [02719]. 11 19 2 Then Jezebel [0348] sent [07971] a messenger [04397] unto Elijah [0452], saying [0559], So let the gods [0430] do [06213] to me, and more [03254] also, if I make [07760] not thy life [05315] as the life [05315] of one [0259] of them by to morrow [04279] about this time [06256]. 11 19 3 And when he saw [07200] that, he arose [06965], and went [03212] for his life [05315], and came [0935] to Beersheba [0884], which belongeth to Judah [03063], and left [03240] his servant [05288] there. 11 19 4 But he himself went [01980] a day's [03117] journey [01870] into the wilderness [04057], and came [0935] and sat down [03427] under a [0259] juniper tree [07574]: and he requested [07592] for himself [05315] that he might die [04191]; and said [0559], It is enough [07227]; now, O LORD [03068], take away [03947] my life [05315]; for I am not better [02896] than my fathers [01]. 11 19 5 And as he lay [07901] and slept [03462] under a [0259] juniper tree [07574], behold, then an angel [04397] touched [05060] him, and said [0559] unto him, Arise [06965] and eat [0398]. 11 19 6 And he looked [05027], and, behold, there was a cake [05692] baken on the coals [07529], and a cruse [06835] of water [04325] at his head [04763]. And he did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and laid him down [07901] again [07725]. 11 19 7 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] came again [07725] the second time [08145], and touched [05060] him, and said [0559], Arise [06965] and eat [0398]; because the journey [01870] is too great [07227] for thee. 11 19 8 And he arose [06965], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and went [03212] in the strength [03581] of that meat [0396] forty [0705] days [03117] and forty [0705] nights [03915] unto Horeb [02722] the mount [02022] of God [0430]. 11 19 9 And he came [0935] thither unto a cave [04631], and lodged [03885] there; and, behold, the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to him, and he said [0559] unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah [0452]? 11 19 10 And he said [0559], I have been very [07065] jealous [07065] for the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635]: for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have forsaken [05800] thy covenant [01285], thrown down [02040] thine altars [04196], and slain [02026] thy prophets [05030] with the sword [02719]; and I, even I only, am left [03498]; and they seek [01245] my life [05315], to take it away [03947]. 11 19 11 And he said [0559], Go forth [03318], and stand [05975] upon the mount [02022] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. And, behold, the LORD [03068] passed by [05674], and a great [01419] and strong [02389] wind [07307] rent [06561] the mountains [02022], and brake in pieces [07665] the rocks [05553] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; but the LORD [03068] was not in the wind [07307]: and after [0310] the wind [07307] an earthquake [07494]; but the LORD [03068] was not in the earthquake [07494]: 11 19 12 And after [0310] the earthquake [07494] a fire [0784]; but the LORD [03068] was not in the fire [0784]: and after [0310] the fire [0784] a still [01827] small [01851] voice [06963]. 11 19 13 And it was so, when Elijah [0452] heard [08085] it, that he wrapped [03874] his face [06440] in his mantle [0155], and went out [03318], and stood [05975] in the entering in [06607] of the cave [04631]. And, behold, there came a voice [06963] unto him, and said [0559], What doest thou here, Elijah [0452]? 11 19 14 And he said [0559], I have been very [07065] jealous [07065] for the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635]: because the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have forsaken [05800] thy covenant [01285], thrown down [02040] thine altars [04196], and slain [02026] thy prophets [05030] with the sword [02719]; and I, even I only, am left [03498]; and they seek [01245] my life [05315], to take it away [03947]. 11 19 15 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], return [07725] on thy way [01870] to the wilderness [04057] of Damascus [01834]: and when thou comest [0935], anoint [04886] Hazael [02371] to be king [04428] over Syria [0758]: 11 19 16 And Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Nimshi [05250] shalt thou anoint [04886] to be king [04428] over Israel [03478]: and Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202] of Abelmeholah [065] shalt thou anoint [04886] to be prophet [05030] in thy room. 11 19 17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth [04422] the sword [02719] of Hazael [02371] shall Jehu [03058] slay [04191]: and him that escapeth [04422] from the sword [02719] of Jehu [03058] shall Elisha [0477] slay [04191]. 11 19 18 Yet I have left [07604] me seven [07651] thousand [0505] in Israel [03478], all the knees [01290] which have not bowed [03766] unto Baal [01168], and every mouth [06310] which hath not kissed [05401] him. 11 19 19 So he departed [03212] thence, and found [04672] Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202], who was plowing [02790] with twelve [08147] [06240] yoke [06776] of oxen before [06440] him, and he with the twelfth [08147] [06240]: and Elijah [0452] passed [05674] by him, and cast [07993] his mantle [0155] upon him. 11 19 20 And he left [05800] the oxen [01241], and ran [07323] after [0310] Elijah [0452], and said [0559], Let me, I pray thee, kiss [05401] my father [01] and my mother [0517], and then I will follow [03212] [0310] thee. And he said [0559] unto him, Go back [03212] again [07725]: for what have I done [06213] to thee? 11 19 21 And he returned back [07725] from him [0310], and took [03947] a yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and slew [02076] them, and boiled [01310] their flesh [01320] with the instruments [03627] of the oxen [01241], and gave [05414] unto the people [05971], and they did eat [0398]. Then he arose [06965], and went [03212] after [0310] Elijah [0452], and ministered [08334] unto him. 11 20 1 And Benhadad [01130] the king [04428] of Syria [0758] gathered [06908] all his host [02428] together [06908]: and there were thirty [07970] and two [08147] kings [04428] with him, and horses [05483], and chariots [07393]: and he went up [05927] and besieged [06696] Samaria [08111], and warred [03898] against it. 11 20 2 And he sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478] into the city [05892], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Benhadad [01130], 11 20 3 Thy silver [03701] and thy gold [02091] is mine; thy wives [0802] also and thy children [01121], even the goodliest [02896], are mine. 11 20 4 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] answered [06030] and said [0559], My lord [0113], O king [04428], according to thy saying [01697], I am thine, and all that I have. 11 20 5 And the messengers [04397] came again [07725], and said [0559], Thus speaketh [0559] Benhadad [01130], saying [0559], Although I have sent [07971] unto thee, saying [0559], Thou shalt deliver [05414] me thy silver [03701], and thy gold [02091], and thy wives [0802], and thy children [01121]; 11 20 6 Yet I will send [07971] my servants [05650] unto thee to morrow [04279] about this time [06256], and they shall search [02664] thine house [01004], and the houses [01004] of thy servants [05650]; and it shall be [01961], that whatsoever is pleasant [04261] in thine eyes [05869], they shall put [07760] it in their hand [03027], and take it away [03947]. 11 20 7 Then the king [04428] of Israel [03478] called [07121] all the elders [02205] of the land [0776], and said [0559], Mark [03045], I pray you, and see [07200] how this man seeketh [01245] mischief [07451]: for he sent [07971] unto me for my wives [0802], and for my children [01121], and for my silver [03701], and for my gold [02091]; and I denied [04513] him not. 11 20 8 And all the elders [02205] and all the people [05971] said [0559] unto him, Hearken [08085] not unto him, nor consent [014]. 11 20 9 Wherefore he said [0559] unto the messengers [04397] of Benhadad [01130], Tell [0559] my lord [0113] the king [04428], All that thou didst send [07971] for to thy servant [05650] at the first [07223] I will do [06213]: but this thing [01697] I may [03201] not do [06213]. And the messengers [04397] departed [03212], and brought [07725] him word [01697] again [07725]. 11 20 10 And Benhadad [01130] sent [07971] unto him, and said [0559], The gods [0430] do so [06213] unto me, and more also [03254], if the dust [06083] of Samaria [08111] shall suffice [05606] for handfuls [08168] for all the people [05971] that follow [07272] me. 11 20 11 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] answered [06030] and said [0559], Tell [01696] him, Let not him that girdeth [02296] on his harness boast [01984] himself as he that putteth it off [06605]. 11 20 12 And it came to pass, when Benhadad heard [08085] this message [01697], as he was drinking [08354], he and the kings [04428] in the pavilions [05521], that he said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Set [07760] yourselves in array. And they set [07760] themselves in array against the city [05892]. 11 20 13 And, behold, there came [05066] a [0259] prophet [05030] unto Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Hast thou seen [07200] all this great [01419] multitude [01995]? behold, I will deliver [05414] it into thine hand [03027] this day [03117]; and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 11 20 14 And Ahab [0256] said [0559], By whom? And he said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Even by the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082]. Then he said [0559], Who shall order [0631] the battle [04421]? And he answered [0559], Thou. 11 20 15 Then he numbered [06485] the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082], and they were two [08147] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] two [08147]: and after [0310] them he numbered [06485] all the people [05971], even all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], being seven [07651] thousand [0505]. 11 20 16 And they went out [03318] at noon [06672]. But Benhadad [01130] was drinking [08354] himself drunk [07910] in the pavilions [05521], he and the kings [04428], the thirty [07970] and two [08147] kings [04428] that helped [05826] him. 11 20 17 And the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082] went out [03318] first [07223]; and Benhadad [01130] sent out [07971], and they told [05046] him, saying [0559], There are men [0582] come out [03318] of Samaria [08111]. 11 20 18 And he said [0559], Whether they be come out [03318] for peace [07965], take [08610] them alive [02416]; or whether they be come out [03318] for war [04421], take [08610] them alive [02416]. 11 20 19 So these young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082] came out [03318] of the city [05892], and the army [02428] which followed [0310] them. 11 20 20 And they slew [05221] every one [0376] his man [0376]: and the Syrians [0758] fled [05127]; and Israel [03478] pursued [07291] them: and Benhadad [01130] the king [04428] of Syria [0758] escaped [04422] on an horse [05483] with the horsemen [06571]. 11 20 21 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] went out [03318], and smote [05221] the horses [05483] and chariots [07393], and slew [05221] the Syrians [0758] with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]. 11 20 22 And the prophet [05030] came [05066] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478], and said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], strengthen [02388] thyself, and mark [03045], and see [07200] what thou doest [06213]: for at the return [08666] of the year [08141] the king [04428] of Syria [0758] will come up [05927] against thee. 11 20 23 And the servants [05650] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758] said [0559] unto him, Their gods [0430] are gods [0430] of the hills [02022]; therefore they were stronger [02388] than we; but [0199] let us fight [03898] against them in the plain [04334], and surely [03808] we shall be stronger [02388] than they. 11 20 24 And do [06213] this thing [01697], Take [05493] the kings [04428] away, every man [0376] out of his place [04725], and put [07760] captains [06346] in their rooms: 11 20 25 And number [04487] thee an army [02428], like the army [02428] that thou hast lost [05307], horse [05483] for horse [05483], and chariot [07393] for chariot [07393]: and we will fight [03898] against [0854] them in the plain [04334], and surely we shall be stronger [02388] than they. And he hearkened [08085] unto their voice [06963], and did so [06213]. 11 20 26 And it came to pass at the return [08666] of the year [08141], that Benhadad [01130] numbered [06485] the Syrians [0758], and went up [05927] to Aphek [0663], to fight [04421] against Israel [03478]. 11 20 27 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were numbered [06485], and were all present [03557], and went [03212] against [07125] them: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] pitched [02583] before them like two [08147] little flocks [02835] of kids [05795]; but the Syrians [0758] filled [04390] the country [0776]. 11 20 28 And there came [05066] a man [0376] of God [0430], and spake [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], and said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Because the Syrians [0758] have said [0559], The LORD [03068] is God [0430] of the hills [02022], but he is not God [0430] of the valleys [06010], therefore will I deliver [05414] all this great [01419] multitude [01995] into thine hand [03027], and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 11 20 29 And they pitched [02583] one [0428] over against [05227] the other [0428] seven [07651] days [03117]. And so it was, that in the seventh [07637] day [03117] the battle [04421] was joined [07126]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] slew [05221] of the Syrians [0758] an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] footmen [07273] in one [0259] day [03117]. 11 20 30 But the rest [03498] fled [05127] to Aphek [0663], into the city [05892]; and there a wall [02346] fell [05307] upon twenty [06242] and seven [07651] thousand [0505] of the men [0376] that were left [03498]. And Benhadad [01130] fled [05127], and came [0935] into the city [05892], into an inner [02315] chamber [02315]. 11 20 31 And his servants [05650] said [0559] unto him, Behold now, we have heard [08085] that the kings [04428] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] are merciful [02617] kings [04428]: let us, I pray thee, put [07760] sackcloth [08242] on our loins [04975], and ropes [02256] upon our heads [07218], and go out [03318] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478]: peradventure he will save [02421] thy life [05315]. 11 20 32 So they girded [02296] sackcloth [08242] on their loins [04975], and put ropes [02256] on their heads [07218], and came [0935] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478], and said [0559], Thy servant [05650] Benhadad [01130] saith [0559], I pray thee, let me live [02421] [05315]. And he said [0559], Is he yet alive [02416]? he is my brother [0251]. 11 20 33 Now the men [0582] did diligently observe [05172] whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily [04116] catch [02480] it: and they said [0559], Thy brother [0251] Benhadad [01130]. Then he said [0559], Go [0935] ye, bring [03947] him. Then Benhadad [01130] came forth [03318] to him; and he caused him to come up [05927] into the chariot [04818]. 11 20 34 And Benhadad said [0559] unto him, The cities [05892], which my father [01] took [03947] from thy father [01], I will restore [07725]; and thou shalt make [07760] streets [02351] for thee in Damascus [01834], as my father [01] made [07760] in Samaria [08111]. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away [07971] with this covenant [01285]. So he made [03772] a covenant [01285] with him, and sent him away [07971]. 11 20 35 And a certain [0259] man [0376] of the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] said [0559] unto his neighbour [07453] in the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], Smite [05221] me, I pray thee. And the man [0376] refused [03985] to smite [05221] him. 11 20 36 Then said [0559] he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], behold, as soon as thou art departed [01980] from me, a lion [0738] shall slay [05221] thee. And as soon as he was departed [03212] from him [0681], a lion [0738] found [04672] him, and slew [05221] him. 11 20 37 Then he found [04672] another [0312] man [0376], and said [0559], Smite [05221] me, I pray thee. And the man [0376] smote [05221] him, so that in smiting [05221] he wounded [06481] him. 11 20 38 So the prophet [05030] departed [03212], and waited [05975] for the king [04428] by the way [01870], and disguised [02664] himself with ashes [0666] upon his face [05869]. 11 20 39 And as the king [04428] passed by [05674], he cried [06817] unto the king [04428]: and he said [0559], Thy servant [05650] went out [03318] into the midst [07130] of the battle [04421]; and, behold, a man [0376] turned aside [05493], and brought [0935] a man [0376] unto me, and said [0559], Keep [08104] this man [0376]: if by any means [06485] he be missing [06485], then shall thy life [05315] be for his life [05315], or else thou shalt pay [08254] a talent [03603] of silver [03701]. 11 20 40 And as thy servant [05650] was busy [06213] here and there, he was gone [0369]. And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, So shall thy judgment [04941] be; thyself hast decided [02782] it. 11 20 41 And he hasted [04116], and took the ashes [0666] away [05493] from his face [05869]; and the king [04428] of Israel [03478] discerned [05234] him that he was of the prophets [05030]. 11 20 42 And he said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Because thou hast let go [07971] out of thy hand [03027] a man [0376] whom I appointed to utter destruction [02764], therefore thy life [05315] shall go for his life [05315], and thy people [05971] for his people [05971]. 11 20 43 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] went [03212] to his house [01004] heavy [05620] and displeased [02198], and came [0935] to Samaria [08111]. 11 21 1 And it came to pass after [0310] these things [01697], that Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158] had a vineyard [03754], which was in Jezreel [03157], hard by [0681] the palace [01964] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Samaria [08111]. 11 21 2 And Ahab [0256] spake [01696] unto Naboth [05022], saying [0559], Give [05414] me thy vineyard [03754], that I may have it for a garden [01588] of herbs [03419], because it is near [07138] unto [0681] my house [01004]: and I will give [05414] thee for it a better [02896] vineyard [03754] than it; or, if it seem good [02896] to thee [05869], I will give [05414] thee the worth [04242] of it in money [03701]. 11 21 3 And Naboth [05022] said [0559] to Ahab [0256], The LORD [03068] forbid [02486] it me, that I should give [05414] the inheritance [05159] of my fathers [01] unto thee. 11 21 4 And Ahab [0256] came [0935] into his house [01004] heavy [05620] and displeased [02198] because of the word [01697] which Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158] had spoken [01696] to him: for he had said [0559], I will not give [05414] thee the inheritance [05159] of my fathers [01]. And he laid him down [07901] upon his bed [04296], and turned away [05437] his face [06440], and would eat [0398] no bread [03899]. 11 21 5 But Jezebel [0348] his wife [0802] came [0935] to him, and said [01696] unto him, Why is thy spirit [07307] so sad [05620], that thou eatest [0398] no bread [03899]? 11 21 6 And he said [01696] unto her, Because I spake [01696] unto Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158], and said [0559] unto him, Give [05414] me thy vineyard [03754] for money [03701]; or else, if it please [02655] thee, I will give [05414] thee another vineyard [03754] for it: and he answered [0559], I will not give [05414] thee my vineyard [03754]. 11 21 7 And Jezebel [0348] his wife [0802] said [0559] unto him, Dost thou now govern [06213] the kingdom [04410] of Israel [03478]? arise [06965], and eat [0398] bread [03899], and let thine heart [03820] be merry [03190]: I will give [05414] thee the vineyard [03754] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158]. 11 21 8 So she wrote [03789] letters [05612] in Ahab's [0256] name [08034], and sealed [02856] them with his seal [02368], and sent [07971] the letters [05612] unto the elders [02205] and to the nobles [02715] that were in his city [05892], dwelling [03427] with Naboth [05022]. 11 21 9 And she wrote [03789] in the letters [05612], saying [0559], Proclaim [07121] a fast [06685], and set [03427] Naboth [05022] on high [07218] among the people [05971]: 11 21 10 And set [03427] two [08147] men [0582], sons [01121] of Belial [01100], before him, to bear witness [05749] against him, saying [0559], Thou didst blaspheme [01288] God [0430] and the king [04428]. And then carry him out [03318], and stone [05619] him, that he may die [04191]. 11 21 11 And the men [0582] of his city [05892], even the elders [02205] and the nobles [02715] who were the inhabitants [03427] in his city [05892], did [06213] as Jezebel [0348] had sent [07971] unto them, and as it was written [03789] in the letters [05612] which she had sent [07971] unto them. 11 21 12 They proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685], and set [03427] Naboth [05022] on high [07218] among the people [05971]. 11 21 13 And there came [0935] in two [08147] men [0582], children [01121] of Belial [01100], and sat [03427] before him: and the men [0582] of Belial [01100] witnessed [05749] against him, even against Naboth [05022], in the presence of the people [05971], saying [0559], Naboth [05022] did blaspheme [01288] God [0430] and the king [04428]. Then they carried him forth [03318] out [02351] of the city [05892], and stoned [05619] him with stones [068], that he died [04191]. 11 21 14 Then they sent [07971] to Jezebel [0348], saying [0559], Naboth [05022] is stoned [05619], and is dead [04191]. 11 21 15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel [0348] heard [08085] that Naboth [05022] was stoned [05619], and was dead [04191], that Jezebel [0348] said [0559] to Ahab [0256], Arise [06965], take possession [03423] of the vineyard [03754] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158], which he refused [03985] to give [05414] thee for money [03701]: for Naboth [05022] is not alive [02416], but dead [04191]. 11 21 16 And it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] heard [08085] that Naboth [05022] was dead [04191], that Ahab [0256] rose up [06965] to go down [03381] to the vineyard [03754] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158], to take possession [03423] of it. 11 21 17 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559], 11 21 18 Arise [06965], go down [03381] to meet [07125] Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478], which is in Samaria [08111]: behold, he is in the vineyard [03754] of Naboth [05022], whither he is gone down [03381] to possess [03423] it. 11 21 19 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Hast thou killed [07523], and also taken possession [03423]? And thou shalt speak [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], In the place [04725] where dogs [03611] licked [03952] the blood [01818] of Naboth [05022] shall dogs [03611] lick [03952] thy blood [01818], even thine. 11 21 20 And Ahab [0256] said [0559] to Elijah [0452], Hast thou found [04672] me, O mine enemy [0341]? And he answered [0559], I have found [04672] thee: because thou hast sold [04376] thyself to work [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 11 21 21 Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon thee, and will take away [01197] thy posterity [0310], and will cut off [03772] from Ahab [0256] him that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023], and him that is shut up [06113] and left [05800] in Israel [03478], 11 21 22 And will make [05414] thine house [01004] like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], and like the house [01004] of Baasha [01201] the son [01121] of Ahijah [0281], for the provocation [03708] wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger [03707], and made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 11 21 23 And of Jezebel [0348] also spake [01696] the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The dogs [03611] shall eat [0398] Jezebel [0348] by the wall [02426] of Jezreel [03157]. 11 21 24 Him that dieth [04191] of Ahab [0256] in the city [05892] the dogs [03611] shall eat [0398]; and him that dieth [04191] in the field [07704] shall the fowls [05775] of the air [08064] eat [0398]. 11 21 25 But there was none like unto Ahab [0256], which did sell [04376] himself to work [06213] wickedness [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], whom Jezebel [0348] his wife [0802] stirred up [05496]. 11 21 26 And he did very [03966] abominably [08581] in following [03212] [0310] idols [01544], according to all things as did [06213] the Amorites [0567], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 11 21 27 And it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] heard [08085] those words [01697], that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and put [07760] sackcloth [08242] upon his flesh [01320], and fasted [06684], and lay [07901] in sackcloth [08242], and went [01980] softly [0328]. 11 21 28 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559], 11 21 29 Seest [07200] thou how Ahab [0256] humbleth [03665] himself before [06440] me? because [03282] he humbleth [03665] himself before [06440] me, I will not bring [0935] the evil [07451] in his days [03117]: but in his son's [01121] days [03117] will I bring [0935] the evil [07451] upon his house [01004]. 11 22 1 And they continued [03427] three [07969] years [08141] without war [04421] between Syria [0758] and Israel [03478]. 11 22 2 And it came to pass in the third [07992] year [08141], that Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] came down [03381] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 11 22 3 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto his servants [05650], Know [03045] ye that Ramoth [07433] in Gilead [01568] is ours, and we be still [02814], and take [03947] it not out of the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758]? 11 22 4 And he said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], Wilt thou go [03212] with me to battle [04421] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]? And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478], I am as thou [03644] art, my people [05971] as thy people [05971], my horses [05483] as thy horses [05483]. 11 22 5 And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], Enquire [01875], I pray thee, at the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] to day [03117]. 11 22 6 Then the king [04428] of Israel [03478] gathered [06908] the prophets [05030] together [06908], about four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376], and said [0559] unto them, Shall I go [03212] against Ramothgilead [07433] [01568] to battle [04421], or shall I forbear [02308]? And they said [0559], Go up [05927]; for the Lord [0136] shall deliver [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the king [04428]. 11 22 7 And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Is there not here a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068] besides [05750], that we might enquire [01875] of him? 11 22 8 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], There is yet one [0259] man [0376], Micaiah [04321] the son [01121] of Imlah [03229], by whom we may enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068]: but I hate [08130] him; for he doth not prophesy [05012] good [02896] concerning me, but evil [07451]. And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Let not the king [04428] say [0559] so. 11 22 9 Then the king [04428] of Israel [03478] called [07121] an [0259] officer [05631], and said [0559], Hasten [04116] hither Micaiah [04321] the son [01121] of Imlah [03229]. 11 22 10 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] sat [03427] each [0376] on his throne [03678], having put on [03847] their robes [0899], in a void place [01637] in the entrance [06607] of the gate [08179] of Samaria [08111]; and all the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] before [06440] them. 11 22 11 And Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Chenaanah [03668] made [06213] him horns [07161] of iron [01270]: and he said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], With these shalt thou push [05055] the Syrians [0758], until thou have consumed [03615] them. 11 22 12 And all the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] so, saying [0559], Go up [05927] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568], and prosper [06743]: for the LORD [03068] shall deliver [05414] it into the king's [04428] hand [03027]. 11 22 13 And the messenger [04397] that was gone [01980] to call [07121] Micaiah [04321] spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Behold now, the words [01697] of the prophets [05030] declare good [02896] unto the king [04428] with one [0259] mouth [06310]: let thy word [01697], I pray thee, be like the word [01697] of one [0259] of them, and speak [01696] that which is good [02896]. 11 22 14 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], what the LORD [03068] saith [0559] unto me, that will I speak [01696]. 11 22 15 So he came [0935] to the king [04428]. And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Micaiah [04321], shall we go [03212] against Ramothgilead [07433] [01568] to battle [04421], or shall we forbear [02308]? And he answered [0559] him, Go [05927], and prosper [06743]: for the LORD [03068] shall deliver [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the king [04428]. 11 22 16 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, How many times [06471] shall I adjure [07650] thee that thou tell [01696] me nothing but that which is true [0571] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]? 11 22 17 And he said [0559], I saw [07200] all Israel [03478] scattered [06327] upon the hills [02022], as sheep [06629] that have not a shepherd [07462]: and the LORD [03068] said [0559], These have no master [0113]: let them return [07725] every man [0376] to his house [01004] in peace [07965]. 11 22 18 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], Did I not tell [0559] thee that he would prophesy [05012] no good [02896] concerning me, but evil [07451]? 11 22 19 And he said [0559], Hear [08085] thou therefore the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: I saw [07200] the LORD [03068] sitting [03427] on his throne [03678], and all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] standing [05975] by him on his right hand [03225] and on his left [08040]. 11 22 20 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Who shall persuade [06601] Ahab [0256], that he may go up [05927] and fall [05307] at Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]? And one said [0559] on this manner [03541], and another said [0559] on that manner [03541]. 11 22 21 And there came forth [03318] a spirit [07307], and stood [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], I will persuade [06601] him. 11 22 22 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Wherewith? And he said [0559], I will go forth [03318], and I will be a lying [08267] spirit [07307] in the mouth [06310] of all his prophets [05030]. And he said [0559], Thou shalt persuade [06601] him, and prevail [03201] also: go forth [03318], and do [06213] so. 11 22 23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD [03068] hath put [05414] a lying [08267] spirit [07307] in the mouth [06310] of all these thy prophets [05030], and the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] evil [07451] concerning thee. 11 22 24 But Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Chenaanah [03668] went near [05066], and smote [05221] Micaiah [04321] on the cheek [03895], and said [0559], Which way [0335] went [05674] the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] from me to speak [01696] unto thee? 11 22 25 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], Behold, thou shalt see [07200] in that day [03117], when thou shalt go [0935] into an inner [02315] chamber [02315] to hide [02247] thyself. 11 22 26 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Take [03947] Micaiah [04321], and carry him back [07725] unto Amon [0526] the governor [08269] of the city [05892], and to Joash [03101] the king's [04428] son [01121]; 11 22 27 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Put [07760] this fellow in the prison [01004] [03608], and feed [0398] him with bread [03899] of affliction [03906] and with water [04325] of affliction [03906], until I come [0935] in peace [07965]. 11 22 28 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], If thou return [07725] at all [07725] in peace [07965], the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696] by me. And he said [0559], Hearken [08085], O people [05971], every one of you. 11 22 29 So the king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] went up [05927] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]. 11 22 30 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], I will disguise [02664] myself, and enter [0935] into the battle [04421]; but put thou on [03847] thy robes [0899]. And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] disguised [02664] himself, and went [0935] into the battle [04421]. 11 22 31 But the king [04428] of Syria [0758] commanded [06680] his thirty [07970] and two [08147] captains [08269] that had rule over his chariots [07393], saying [0559], Fight [03898] neither with small [06996] nor great [01419], save only with the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 11 22 32 And it came to pass, when the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393] saw [07200] Jehoshaphat [03092], that they said [0559], Surely it is the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. And they turned aside [05493] to fight [03898] against him: and Jehoshaphat [03092] cried out [02199]. 11 22 33 And it came to pass, when the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393] perceived [07200] that it was not the king [04428] of Israel [03478], that they turned back [07725] from pursuing [0310] him. 11 22 34 And a certain man [0376] drew [04900] a bow [07198] at a venture [08537], and smote [05221] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] between the joints [01694] of the harness [08302]: wherefore he said [0559] unto the driver of his chariot [07395], Turn [02015] thine hand [03027], and carry me out [03318] of the host [04264]; for I am wounded [02470]. 11 22 35 And the battle [04421] increased [05927] that day [03117]: and the king [04428] was stayed up [05975] in his chariot [04818] against [05227] the Syrians [0758], and died [04191] at even [06153]: and the blood [01818] ran out [03332] of the wound [04347] into the midst [02436] of the chariot [07393]. 11 22 36 And there went [05674] a proclamation [07440] throughout the host [04264] about the going down [0935] of the sun [08121], saying [0559], Every man [0376] to his city [05892], and every man [0376] to his own country [0776]. 11 22 37 So the king [04428] died [04191], and was brought [0935] to Samaria [08111]; and they buried [06912] the king [04428] in Samaria [08111]. 11 22 38 And one washed [07857] the chariot [07393] in the pool [01295] of Samaria [08111]; and the dogs [03611] licked up [03952] his blood [01818]; and they washed [07364] his armour [02185]; according unto the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which he spake [01696]. 11 22 39 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Ahab [0256], and all that he did [06213], and the ivory [08127] house [01004] which he made [01129], and all the cities [05892] that he built [01129], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 11 22 40 So Ahab [0256] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and Ahaziah [0274] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 22 41 And Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Asa [0609] began to reign [04427] over Judah [03063] in the fourth [0702] year [08141] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 11 22 42 Jehoshaphat [03092] was thirty [07970] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Azubah [05806] the daughter [01323] of Shilhi [07977]. 11 22 43 And he walked [03212] in all the ways [01870] of Asa [0609] his father [01]; he turned not aside [05493] from it, doing [06213] that which was right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068]: nevertheless the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493]; for the people [05971] offered [02076] and burnt incense [06999] yet in the high places [01116]. 11 22 44 And Jehoshaphat [03092] made peace [07999] with the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 11 22 45 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoshaphat [03092], and his might [01369] that he shewed [06213], and how he warred [03898], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 11 22 46 And the remnant [03499] of the sodomites [06945], which remained [07604] in the days [03117] of his father [01] Asa [0609], he took [01197] out of the land [0776]. 11 22 47 There was then no king [04428] in Edom [0123]: a deputy [05324] was king [04428]. 11 22 48 Jehoshaphat [03092] made [06213] [06240] ships [0591] of Tharshish [08659] to go [03212] to Ophir [0211] for gold [02091]: but they went [01980] not; for the ships [0591] were broken [07665] at Eziongeber [06100]. 11 22 49 Then said [0559] Ahaziah [0274] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], Let my servants [05650] go [03212] with thy servants [05650] in the ships [0591]. But Jehoshaphat [03092] would [014] not. 11 22 50 And Jehoshaphat [03092] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]: and Jehoram [03088] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 11 22 51 Ahaziah [0274] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] the seventeenth [07651] [06240] year [08141] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and reigned [04427] two years [08141] over Israel [03478]. 11 22 52 And he did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and walked [03212] in the way [01870] of his father [01], and in the way [01870] of his mother [0517], and in the way [01870] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]: 11 22 53 For he served [05647] Baal [01168], and worshipped [07812] him, and provoked to anger [03707] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], according to all that his father [01] had done [06213]. 12 1 1 Then Moab [04124] rebelled [06586] against Israel [03478] after [0310] the death [04194] of Ahab [0256]. 12 1 2 And Ahaziah [0274] fell down [05307] through a lattice [07639] in his upper chamber [05944] that was in Samaria [08111], and was sick [02470]: and he sent [07971] messengers [04397], and said [0559] unto them, Go [03212], enquire [01875] of Baalzebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138] whether I shall recover [02421] of this disease [02483]. 12 1 3 But the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [01696] to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], Arise [06965], go up [05927] to meet [07125] the messengers [04397] of the king [04428] of Samaria [08111], and say [01696] unto them, Is it not because there is not a God [0430] in Israel [03478], that ye go [01980] to enquire [01875] of Baalzebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138]? 12 1 4 Now therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Thou shalt not come down [03381] from that bed [04296] on which thou art gone up [05927], but shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. And Elijah [0452] departed [03212]. 12 1 5 And when the messengers [04397] turned back [07725] unto him, he said [0559] unto them, Why are ye now [02088] turned back [07725]? 12 1 6 And they said [0559] unto him, There came [05927] a man [0376] up [05927] to meet [07125] us, and said [0559] unto us, Go [03212], turn again [07725] unto the king [04428] that sent [07971] you, and say [01696] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Is it not because there is not a God [0430] in Israel [03478], that thou sendest [07971] to enquire [01875] of Baalzebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138]? therefore thou shalt not come down [03381] from that bed [04296] on which thou art gone up [05927], but shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. 12 1 7 And he said [01696] unto them, What manner [04941] of man [0376] was he which came up [05927] to meet [07125] you, and told [01696] you these words [01697]? 12 1 8 And they answered [0559] him, He was an hairy [08181] man [01167] [0376], and girt [0247] with a girdle [0232] of leather [05785] about his loins [04975]. And he said [0559], It is Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664]. 12 1 9 Then the king [04428] sent [07971] unto him a captain [08269] of fifty [02572] with his fifty [02572]. And he went up [05927] to him: and, behold, he sat [03427] on the top [07218] of an hill [02022]. And he spake [01696] unto him, Thou man [0376] of God [0430], the king [04428] hath said [01696], Come down [03381]. 12 1 10 And Elijah [0452] answered [06030] and said [01696] to the captain [08269] of fifty [02572], If I be a man [0376] of God [0430], then let fire [0784] come down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consume [0398] thee and thy fifty [02572]. And there came down [03381] fire [0784] from heaven [08064], and consumed [0398] him and his fifty [02572]. 12 1 11 Again [07725] also he sent [07971] unto him another [0312] captain [08269] of fifty [02572] with his fifty [02572]. And he answered [06030] and said [01696] unto him, O man [0376] of God [0430], thus hath the king [04428] said [0559], Come down [03381] quickly [04120]. 12 1 12 And Elijah [0452] answered [06030] and said [01696] unto them, If I be a man [0376] of God [0430], let fire [0784] come down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consume [0398] thee and thy fifty [02572]. And the fire [0784] of God [0430] came down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consumed [0398] him and his fifty [02572]. 12 1 13 And he sent [07971] again [07725] a captain [08269] of the third [07992] fifty [02572] with his fifty [02572]. And the third [07992] captain [08269] of fifty [02572] went up [05927], and came [0935] and fell [03766] on his knees [01290] before [05048] Elijah [0452], and besought [02603] him, and said [01696] unto him, O man [0376] of God [0430], I pray thee, let my life [05315], and the life [05315] of these fifty [02572] thy servants [05650], be precious [03365] in thy sight [05869]. 12 1 14 Behold, there came [03381] fire [0784] down [03381] from heaven [08064], and burnt up [0398] the two [08147] captains [08269] of the former [07223] fifties [02572] with their fifties [02572]: therefore let my life [05315] now be precious [03365] in thy sight [05869]. 12 1 15 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Elijah [0452], Go down [03381] with him: be not afraid [03372] of him [06440]. And he arose [06965], and went down [03381] with him unto the king [04428]. 12 1 16 And he said [01696] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Forasmuch as thou hast sent [07971] messengers [04397] to enquire [01875] of Baalzebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138], is it not because there is no God [0430] in Israel [03478] to enquire [01875] of his word [01697]? therefore thou shalt not come down [03381] off that bed [04296] on which thou art gone up [05927], but shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. 12 1 17 So he died [04191] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which Elijah [0452] had spoken [01696]. And Jehoram [03088] reigned [04427] in his stead in the second [08147] year [08141] of Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; because he had no son [01121]. 12 1 18 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Ahaziah [0274] which he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 2 1 And it came to pass, when the LORD [03068] would take up [05927] Elijah [0452] into heaven [08064] by a whirlwind [05591], that Elijah [0452] went [03212] with Elisha [0477] from Gilgal [01537]. 12 2 2 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], Tarry [03427] here, I pray thee; for the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Bethel [01008]. And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto him, As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. So they went down [03381] to Bethel [01008]. 12 2 3 And the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] that were at Bethel [01008] came forth [03318] to Elisha [0477], and said [0559] unto him, Knowest [03045] thou that the LORD [03068] will take away [03947] thy master [0113] from thy head [07218] to day [03117]? And he said [0559], Yea, I know [03045] it; hold ye your peace [02814]. 12 2 4 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto him, Elisha [0477], tarry [03427] here, I pray thee; for the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Jericho [03405]. And he said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. So they came [0935] to Jericho [03405]. 12 2 5 And the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] that were at Jericho [03405] came [05066] to Elisha [0477], and said [0559] unto him, Knowest [03045] thou that the LORD [03068] will take away [03947] thy master [0113] from thy head [07218] to day [03117]? And he answered [0559], Yea, I know [03045] it; hold ye your peace [02814]. 12 2 6 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto him, Tarry [03427], I pray thee, here; for the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Jordan [03383]. And he said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. And they two [08147] went on [03212]. 12 2 7 And fifty [02572] men [0376] of the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] went [01980], and stood [05975] to view [05048] afar off [07350]: and they two [08147] stood [05975] by Jordan [03383]. 12 2 8 And Elijah [0452] took [03947] his mantle [0155], and wrapped it together [01563], and smote [05221] the waters [04325], and they were divided [02673] hither and thither, so that they two [08147] went over [05674] on dry [02724] ground. 12 2 9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over [05674], that Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], Ask [07592] what I shall do [06213] for thee, before I be taken away [03947] from thee. And Elisha [0477] said [0559], I pray thee, let a double [08147] portion [06310] of thy spirit [07307] be upon me. 12 2 10 And he said [0559], Thou hast asked [07592] a hard thing [07185]: nevertheless, if thou see [07200] me when I am taken [03947] from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 12 2 11 And it came to pass, as they still [01980] went on [01980], and talked [01696], that, behold, there appeared a chariot [07393] of fire [0784], and horses [05483] of fire [0784], and parted [06504] them both [08147] asunder [0996]; and Elijah [0452] went up [05927] by a whirlwind [05591] into heaven [08064]. 12 2 12 And Elisha [0477] saw [07200] it, and he cried [06817], My father [01], my father [01], the chariot [07393] of Israel [03478], and the horsemen [06571] thereof. And he saw [07200] him no more: and he took hold [02388] of his own clothes [0899], and rent [07167] them in two [08147] pieces [07168]. 12 2 13 He took up [07311] also the mantle [0155] of Elijah [0452] that fell [05307] from him, and went back [07725], and stood [05975] by the bank [08193] of Jordan [03383]; 12 2 14 And he took [03947] the mantle [0155] of Elijah [0452] that fell [05307] from him, and smote [05221] the waters [04325], and said [0559], Where is the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Elijah [0452]? and when he also had smitten [05221] the waters [04325], they parted [02673] hither and thither: and Elisha [0477] went over [05674]. 12 2 15 And when the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] which were to view at Jericho [03405] saw [07200] him, they said [0559], The spirit [07307] of Elijah [0452] doth rest [05117] on Elisha [0477]. And they came [0935] to meet [07125] him, and bowed [07812] themselves to the ground [0776] before him. 12 2 16 And they said [0559] unto him, Behold now, there be [03426] with thy servants [05650] fifty [02572] strong [02428] men [01121] [0582]; let them go [03212], we pray thee, and seek [01245] thy master [0113]: lest peradventure the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] hath taken him up [05375], and cast [07993] him upon some [0259] mountain [02022], or into some [0259] valley [01516]. And he said [0559], Ye shall not send [07971]. 12 2 17 And when they urged [06484] him till he was ashamed [0954], he said [0559], Send [07971]. They sent [07971] therefore fifty [02572] men [0376]; and they sought [01245] three [07969] days [03117], but found [04672] him not. 12 2 18 And when they came again [07725] to him, (for he tarried [03427] at Jericho [03405],) he said [0559] unto them, Did I not say [0559] unto you, Go [03212] not? 12 2 19 And the men [0582] of the city [05892] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], Behold, I pray thee, the situation [04186] of this city [05892] is pleasant [02896], as my lord [0113] seeth [07200]: but the water [04325] is naught [07451], and the ground [0776] barren [07921]. 12 2 20 And he said [0559], Bring [03947] me a new [02319] cruse [06746], and put [07760] salt [04417] therein. And they brought [03947] it to him. 12 2 21 And he went forth [03318] unto the spring [04161] of the waters [04325], and cast [07993] the salt [04417] in there, and said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], I have healed [07495] these waters [04325]; there shall not be from thence any more death [04194] or barren [07921] land. 12 2 22 So the waters [04325] were healed [07495] unto this day [03117], according to the saying [01697] of Elisha [0477] which he spake [01696]. 12 2 23 And he went up [05927] from thence unto Bethel [01008]: and as he was going up [05927] by the way [01870], there came forth [03318] little [06996] children [05288] out of the city [05892], and mocked [07046] him, and said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927], thou bald head [07142]; go up [05927], thou bald head [07142]. 12 2 24 And he turned [06437] back [0310], and looked [07200] on them, and cursed [07043] them in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. And there came forth [03318] two [08147] she bears [01677] out of the wood [03293], and tare [01234] forty [0705] and two [08147] children [03206] of them. 12 2 25 And he went [03212] from thence to mount [02022] Carmel [03760], and from thence he returned [07725] to Samaria [08111]. 12 3 1 Now Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and reigned [04427] twelve [08147] [06240] years [08141]. 12 3 2 And he wrought [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]; but not like his father [01], and like his mother [0517]: for he put away [05493] the image [04676] of Baal [01168] that his father [01] had made [06213]. 12 3 3 Nevertheless he cleaved [01692] unto the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], which made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]; he departed [05493] not therefrom. 12 3 4 And Mesha [04338] king [04428] of Moab [04124] was a sheepmaster [05349], and rendered [07725] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478] an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] lambs [03733], and an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] rams [0352], with the wool [06785]. 12 3 5 But it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] was dead [04194], that the king [04428] of Moab [04124] rebelled [06586] against the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 3 6 And king [04428] Jehoram [03088] went out [03318] of Samaria [08111] the same time [03117], and numbered [06485] all Israel [03478]. 12 3 7 And he went [03212] and sent [07971] to Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], The king [04428] of Moab [04124] hath rebelled [06586] against me: wilt thou go [03212] with me against Moab [04124] to battle [04421]? And he said [0559], I will go up [05927]: I am as thou art, my people [05971] as thy people [05971], and my horses [05483] as thy horses [05483]. 12 3 8 And he said [0559], Which way [01870] shall we go up [05927]? And he answered [0559], The way [01870] through the wilderness [04057] of Edom [0123]. 12 3 9 So the king [04428] of Israel [03478] went [03212], and the king [04428] of Judah [03063], and the king [04428] of Edom [0123]: and they fetched a compass [05437] of seven [07651] days [03117]' journey [01870]: and there was no water [04325] for the host [04264], and for the cattle [0929] that followed [07272] them. 12 3 10 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Alas [0162]! that the LORD [03068] hath called [07121] these three [07969] kings [04428] together [07121], to deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Moab [04124]! 12 3 11 But Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Is there not here a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068], that we may enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068] by him? And one [0259] of the king [04428] of Israel's [03478] servants [05650] answered [06030] and said [0559], Here is Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202], which poured [03332] water [04325] on the hands [03027] of Elijah [0452]. 12 3 12 And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] is [03426] with him. So the king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Jehoshaphat [03092] and the king [04428] of Edom [0123] went down [03381] to him. 12 3 13 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], What have I to do with thee? get [03212] thee to the prophets [05030] of thy father [01], and to the prophets [05030] of thy mother [0517]. And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto him, Nay: for the LORD [03068] hath called [07121] these three [07969] kings [04428] together [07121], to deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Moab [04124]. 12 3 14 And Elisha [0477] said [0559], As the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], surely, were it not that [03884] I regard [05375] the presence [06440] of Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063], I would not look [05027] toward thee, nor see [07200] thee. 12 3 15 But now bring [03947] me a minstrel [05059]. And it came to pass, when the minstrel [05059] played [05059], that the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] came upon him. 12 3 16 And he said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Make [06213] this valley [05158] full of ditches [01356]. 12 3 17 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Ye shall not see [07200] wind [07307], neither shall ye see [07200] rain [01653]; yet that valley [05158] shall be filled [04390] with water [04325], that ye may drink [08354], both ye, and your cattle [04735], and your beasts [0929]. 12 3 18 And this is but a light thing [07043] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he will deliver [05414] the Moabites [04124] also into your hand [03027]. 12 3 19 And ye shall smite [05221] every fenced [04013] city [05892], and every choice [04004] city [05892], and shall fell [05307] every good [02896] tree [06086], and stop [05640] all wells [04599] of water [04325], and mar [03510] every good [02896] piece [02513] of land with stones [068]. 12 3 20 And it came to pass in the morning [01242], when the meat offering [04503] was offered [05927], that, behold, there came [0935] water [04325] by the way [01870] of Edom [0123], and the country [0776] was filled [04390] with water [04325]. 12 3 21 And when all the Moabites [04124] heard [08085] that the kings [04428] were come up [05927] to fight [03898] against them, they gathered [06817] all that were able to put [02296] on armour [02290], and upward [04605], and stood [05975] in the border [01366]. 12 3 22 And they rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and the sun [08121] shone [02224] upon the water [04325], and the Moabites [04124] saw [07200] the water [04325] on the other side [05048] as red [0122] as blood [01818]: 12 3 23 And they said [0559], This is blood [01818]: the kings [04428] are surely [02717] slain [02717], and they have smitten [05221] one [0376] another [07453]: now therefore, Moab [04124], to the spoil [07998]. 12 3 24 And when they came [0935] to the camp [04264] of Israel [03478], the Israelites [03478] rose up [06965] and smote [05221] the Moabites [04124], so that they fled [05127] before [06440] them: but they went forward [05221] smiting [05221] the Moabites [04124], even in their country. 12 3 25 And they beat down [02040] the cities [05892], and on every good [02896] piece [02513] of land cast [07993] every man [0376] his stone [068], and filled [04390] it; and they stopped [05640] all the wells [04599] of water [04325], and felled [05307] all the good [02896] trees [06086]: only in Kirharaseth [07025] left [07604] they the stones [068] thereof; howbeit the slingers [07051] went about [05437] it, and smote [05221] it. 12 3 26 And when the king [04428] of Moab [04124] saw [07200] that the battle [04421] was too sore [02388] for him, he took [03947] with him seven [07651] hundred [03967] men [0376] that drew [08025] swords [02719], to break through [01234] even unto the king [04428] of Edom [0123]: but they could [03201] not. 12 3 27 Then he took [03947] his eldest [01060] son [01121] that should have reigned [04427] in his stead, and offered [05927] him for a burnt offering [05930] upon the wall [02346]. And there was great [01419] indignation [07110] against Israel [03478]: and they departed [05265] from him, and returned [07725] to their own land [0776]. 12 4 1 Now there cried [06817] a certain [0259] woman [0802] of the wives [0802] of the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] unto Elisha [0477], saying [0559], Thy servant [05650] my husband [0376] is dead [04191]; and thou knowest [03045] that thy servant [05650] did fear [03373] the LORD [03068]: and the creditor [05383] is come [0935] to take [03947] unto him my two [08147] sons [03206] to be bondmen [05650]. 12 4 2 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto her, What shall I do [06213] for thee? tell [05046] me, what hast [03426] thou in the house [01004]? And she said [0559], Thine handmaid [08198] hath not any thing in the house [01004], save a pot [0610] of oil [08081]. 12 4 3 Then he said [0559], Go [03212], borrow [07592] thee vessels [03627] abroad [02351] of all thy neighbours [07934], even empty [07386] vessels [03627]; borrow not a few [04591]. 12 4 4 And when thou art come in [0935], thou shalt shut [05462] the door [01817] upon thee and upon thy sons [01121], and shalt pour out [03332] into all those vessels [03627], and thou shalt set aside [05265] that which is full [04392]. 12 4 5 So she went [03212] from him, and shut [05462] the door [01817] upon her and upon [01157] her sons [01121], who [01992] brought [05066] the vessels to her; and she poured out [03332]. 12 4 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels [03627] were full [04390], that she said [0559] unto her son [01121], Bring [05066] me yet a vessel [03627]. And he said [0559] unto her, There is not a vessel [03627] more. And the oil [08081] stayed [05975]. 12 4 7 Then she came [0935] and told [05046] the man [0376] of God [0430]. And he said [0559], Go [03212], sell [04376] the oil [08081], and pay [07999] thy debt [05386], and live [02421] thou and thy children [01121] of the rest [03498]. 12 4 8 And it fell on a day [03117], that Elisha [0477] passed [05674] to Shunem [07766], where was a great [01419] woman [0802]; and she constrained [02388] him to eat [0398] bread [03899]. And so it was, that as oft [01767] as he passed by [05674], he turned [05493] in thither to eat [0398] bread [03899]. 12 4 9 And she said [0559] unto her husband [0376], Behold now, I perceive [03045] that this is an holy [06918] man [0376] of God [0430], which passeth [05674] by us continually [08548]. 12 4 10 Let us make [06213] a little [06996] chamber [05944], I pray thee, on the wall [07023]; and let us set [07760] for him there a bed [04296], and a table [07979], and a stool [03678], and a candlestick [04501]: and it shall be, when he cometh [0935] to us, that he shall turn [05493] in thither. 12 4 11 And it fell on a day [03117], that he came [0935] thither, and he turned [05493] into the chamber [05944], and lay [07901] there. 12 4 12 And he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522] his servant [05288], Call [07121] this Shunammite [07767]. And when he had called [07121] her, she stood [05975] before [06440] him. 12 4 13 And he said [0559] unto him, Say [0559] now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful [02729] for us with all this care [02731]; what is to be done [06213] for thee? wouldest [03426] thou be spoken [01696] for to the king [04428], or to the captain [08269] of the host [06635]? And she answered [0559], I dwell [03427] among [08432] mine own people [05971]. 12 4 14 And he said [0559], What then is to be done [06213] for her? And Gehazi [01522] answered [0559], Verily [061] she hath no child [01121], and her husband [0376] is old [02204]. 12 4 15 And he said [0559], Call [07121] her. And when he had called [07121] her, she stood [05975] in the door [06607]. 12 4 16 And he said [0559], About this season [04150], according to the time [06256] of life [02416], thou shalt embrace [02263] a son [01121]. And she said [0559], Nay, my lord [0113], thou man [0376] of God [0430], do not lie [03576] unto thine handmaid [08198]. 12 4 17 And the woman [0802] conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121] at that season [04150] that Elisha [0477] had said [01696] unto her, according to the time [06256] of life [02416]. 12 4 18 And when the child [03206] was grown [01431], it fell on a day [03117], that he went out [03318] to his father [01] to the reapers [07114]. 12 4 19 And he said [0559] unto his father [01], My head [07218], my head [07218]. And he said [0559] to a lad [05288], Carry [05375] him to his mother [0517]. 12 4 20 And when he had taken [05375] him, and brought [0935] him to his mother [0517], he sat [03427] on her knees [01290] till noon [06672], and then died [04191]. 12 4 21 And she went up [05927], and laid [07901] him on the bed [04296] of the man [0376] of God [0430], and shut [05462] the door upon him, and went out [03318]. 12 4 22 And she called [07121] unto her husband [0376], and said [0559], Send [07971] me, I pray thee, one [0259] of the young men [05288], and one [0259] of the asses [0860], that I may run [07323] to the man [0376] of God [0430], and come again [07725]. 12 4 23 And he said [0559], Wherefore wilt thou go [01980] to him to day [03117]? it is neither new moon [02320], nor sabbath [07676]. And she said [0559], It shall be well [07965]. 12 4 24 Then she saddled [02280] an ass [0860], and said [0559] to her servant [05288], Drive [05090], and go forward [03212]; slack [06113] not thy riding [07392] for me, except I bid [0559] thee. 12 4 25 So she went [03212] and came [0935] unto the man [0376] of God [0430] to mount [02022] Carmel [03760]. And it came to pass, when the man [0376] of God [0430] saw her afar off [07200], that he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522] his servant [05288], Behold, yonder is that [01975] Shunammite [07767]: 12 4 26 Run [07323] now, I pray thee, to meet [07125] her, and say [0559] unto her, Is it well [07965] with thee? is it well [07965] with thy husband [0376]? is it well [07965] with the child [03206]? And she answered [0559], It is well [07965]. 12 4 27 And when she came [0935] to the man [0376] of God [0430] to the hill [02022], she caught [02388] him by the feet [07272]: but Gehazi [01522] came near [05066] to thrust her away [01920]. And the man [0376] of God [0430] said [0559], Let her alone [07503]; for her soul [05315] is vexed [04843] within her: and the LORD [03068] hath hid [05956] it from me, and hath not told [05046] me. 12 4 28 Then she said [0559], Did I desire [07592] a son [01121] of my lord [0113]? did I not say [0559], Do not deceive [07952] me? 12 4 29 Then he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522], Gird up [02296] thy loins [04975], and take [03947] my staff [04938] in thine hand [03027], and go thy way [03212]: if thou meet [04672] any man [0376], salute [01288] him not; and if any [0376] salute [01288] thee, answer him not again [06030]: and lay [07760] my staff [04938] upon the face [06440] of the child [05288]. 12 4 30 And the mother [0517] of the child [05288] said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. And he arose [06965], and followed [03212] [0310] her. 12 4 31 And Gehazi [01522] passed on [05674] before [06440] them, and laid [07760] the staff [04938] upon the face [06440] of the child [05288]; but there was neither voice [06963], nor hearing [07182]. Wherefore he went again [07725] to meet [07125] him, and told [05046] him, saying [0559], The child [05288] is not awaked [06974]. 12 4 32 And when Elisha [0477] was come [0935] into the house [01004], behold, the child [05288] was dead [04191], and laid [07901] upon his bed [04296]. 12 4 33 He went in [0935] therefore, and shut [05462] the door [01817] upon them twain [08147], and prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068]. 12 4 34 And he went up [05927], and lay [07901] upon the child [03206], and put [07760] his mouth [06310] upon his mouth [06310], and his eyes [05869] upon his eyes [05869], and his hands [03709] upon his hands [03709]: and he stretched [01457] himself upon the child; and the flesh [01320] of the child [03206] waxed warm [02552]. 12 4 35 Then he returned [07725], and walked [03212] in the house [01004] to [0259] [02008] and fro [0259] [02008]; and went up [05927], and stretched [01457] himself upon him: and the child [05288] sneezed [02237] seven [07651] times [06471], and the child [05288] opened [06491] his eyes [05869]. 12 4 36 And he called [07121] Gehazi [01522], and said [0559], Call [07121] this Shunammite [07767]. So he called [07121] her. And when she was come in [0935] unto him, he said [0559], Take up [05375] thy son [01121]. 12 4 37 Then she went in [0935], and fell [05307] at his feet [07272], and bowed [07812] herself to the ground [0776], and took up [05375] her son [01121], and went out [03318]. 12 4 38 And Elisha [0477] came again [07725] to Gilgal [01537]: and there was a dearth [07458] in the land [0776]; and the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] were sitting [03427] before [06440] him: and he said [0559] unto his servant [05288], Set [08239] on the great [01419] pot [05518], and seethe [01310] pottage [05138] for the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030]. 12 4 39 And one [0259] went out [03318] into the field [07704] to gather [03950] herbs [0219], and found [04672] a wild [07704] vine [01612], and gathered [03950] thereof wild [07704] gourds [06498] his lap [0899] full [04393], and came [0935] and shred [06398] them into the pot [05518] of pottage [05138]: for they knew [03045] them not. 12 4 40 So they poured out [03332] for the men [0582] to eat [0398]. And it came to pass, as they were eating [0398] of the pottage [05138], that they cried out [06817], and said [0559], O thou man [0376] of God [0430], there is death [04194] in the pot [05518]. And they could [03201] not eat [0398] thereof. 12 4 41 But he said [0559], Then bring [03947] meal [07058]. And he cast [07993] it into the pot [05518]; and he said [0559], Pour out [03332] for the people [05971], that they may eat [0398]. And there was no harm [01697] [07451] in the pot [05518]. 12 4 42 And there came [0935] a man [0376] from Baalshalisha [01190], and brought [0935] the man [0376] of God [0430] bread [03899] of the firstfruits [01061], twenty [06242] loaves [03899] of barley [08184], and full ears of corn [03759] in the husk [06861] thereof. And he said [0559], Give [05414] unto the people [05971], that they may eat [0398]. 12 4 43 And his servitor [08334] said [0559], What, should I set [05414] this before [06440] an hundred [03967] men [0376]? He said again [0559], Give [05414] the people [05971], that they may eat [0398]: for thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], They shall eat [0398], and shall leave [03498] thereof. 12 4 44 So he set [05414] it before [06440] them, and they did eat [0398], and left [03498] thereof, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 12 5 1 Now Naaman [05283], captain [08269] of the host [06635] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758], was a great [01419] man [0376] with [06440] his master [0113], and honourable [05375], because by him the LORD [03068] had given [05414] deliverance [08668] unto Syria [0758]: he was also a mighty [01368] man [0376] in valour [02428], but he was a leper [06879]. 12 5 2 And the Syrians [0758] had gone out [03318] by companies [01416], and had brought away captive [07617] out of the land [0776] of Israel [03478] a little [06996] maid [05291]; and she waited on [06440] Naaman's [05283] wife [0802]. 12 5 3 And she said [0559] unto her mistress [01404], Would [0305] God my lord [0113] were with [06440] the prophet [05030] that is in Samaria [08111]! for [0227] he would recover [0622] him of his leprosy [06883]. 12 5 4 And one went in [0935], and told [05046] his lord [0113], saying [0559], Thus and thus said [01696] the maid [05291] that is of the land [0776] of Israel [03478]. 12 5 5 And the king [04428] of Syria [0758] said [0559], Go to [03212], go [0935], and I will send [07971] a letter [05612] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. And he departed [03212], and took [03947] with him [03027] ten [06235] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and six [08337] thousand [0505] pieces of gold [02091], and ten [06235] changes [02487] of raiment [0899]. 12 5 6 And he brought [0935] the letter [05612] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Now when this letter [05612] is come [0935] unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent [07971] Naaman [05283] my servant [05650] to thee, that thou mayest recover [0622] him of his leprosy [06883]. 12 5 7 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] of Israel [03478] had read [07121] the letter [05612], that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and said [0559], Am I God [0430], to kill [04191] and to make alive [02421], that this man [02088] doth send [07971] unto me to recover [0622] a man [0376] of his leprosy [06883]? wherefore [0389] consider [03045], I pray you, and see [07200] how he seeketh a quarrel [0579] against me. 12 5 8 And it was so, when Elisha [0477] the man [0376] of God [0430] had heard [08085] that the king [04428] of Israel [03478] had rent [07167] his clothes [0899], that he sent [07971] to the king [04428], saying [0559], Wherefore hast thou rent [07167] thy clothes [0899]? let him come [0935] now to me, and he shall know [03045] that there is [03426] a prophet [05030] in Israel [03478]. 12 5 9 So Naaman [05283] came [0935] with his horses [05483] and with his chariot [07393], and stood [05975] at the door [06607] of the house [01004] of Elisha [0477]. 12 5 10 And Elisha [0477] sent [07971] a messenger [04397] unto him, saying [0559], Go [01980] and wash [07364] in Jordan [03383] seven [07651] times [06471], and thy flesh [01320] shall come again [07725] to thee, and thou shalt be clean [02891]. 12 5 11 But Naaman [05283] was wroth [07107], and went away [03212], and said [0559], Behold, I thought [0559], He will surely [03318] come out [03318] to me, and stand [05975], and call [07121] on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and strike [05130] his hand [03027] over the place [04725], and recover [0622] the leper [06879]. 12 5 12 Are not Abana [071] [0549] and Pharpar [06554], rivers [05104] of Damascus [01834], better [02896] than all the waters [04325] of Israel [03478]? may I not wash [07364] in them, and be clean [02891]? So he turned [06437] and went away [03212] in a rage [02534]. 12 5 13 And his servants [05650] came near [05066], and spake [01696] unto him, and said [0559], My father [01], if the prophet [05030] had bid [01696] thee do some great [01419] thing [01697], wouldest thou not have done [06213] it? how much rather then [0637], when he saith [0559] to thee, Wash [07364], and be clean [02891]? 12 5 14 Then went he down [03381], and dipped [02881] himself seven [07651] times [06471] in Jordan [03383], according to the saying [01697] of the man [0376] of God [0430]: and his flesh [01320] came again [07725] like unto the flesh [01320] of a little [06996] child [05288], and he was clean [02891]. 12 5 15 And he returned [07725] to the man [0376] of God [0430], he and all his company [04264], and came [0935], and stood [05975] before [06440] him: and he said [0559], Behold, now I know [03045] that there is no God [0430] in all the earth [0776], but in Israel [03478]: now therefore, I pray thee, take [03947] a blessing [01293] of thy servant [05650]. 12 5 16 But he said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], I will receive [03947] none. And he urged [06484] him to take [03947] it; but he refused [03985]. 12 5 17 And Naaman [05283] said [0559], Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given [05414] to thy servant [05650] two [06776] mules [06505]' burden [04853] of earth [0127]? for thy servant [05650] will henceforth offer [06213] neither burnt offering [05930] nor sacrifice [02077] unto other [0312] gods [0430], but unto the LORD [03068]. 12 5 18 In this thing [01697] the LORD [03068] pardon [05545] thy servant [05650], that when my master [0113] goeth [0935] into the house [01004] of Rimmon [07417] to worship [07812] there, and he leaneth [08172] on my hand [03027], and I bow [07812] myself in the house [01004] of Rimmon [07417]: when I bow down [07812] myself in the house [01004] of Rimmon [07417], the LORD [03068] pardon [05545] thy servant [05650] in this thing [01697]. 12 5 19 And he said [0559] unto him, Go [03212] in peace [07965]. So he departed [03212] from him a little [03530] way [0776]. 12 5 20 But Gehazi [01522], the servant [05288] of Elisha [0477] the man [0376] of God [0430], said [0559], Behold, my master [0113] hath spared [02820] Naaman [05283] this Syrian [0761], in not receiving [03947] at his hands [03027] that which he brought [0935]: but, as the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], I will run [07323] after [0310] him, and take [03947] somewhat [03972] of him. 12 5 21 So Gehazi [01522] followed [07291] after [0310] Naaman [05283]. And when Naaman [05283] saw [07200] him running [07323] after [0310] him, he lighted down [05307] from the chariot [04818] to meet [07125] him, and said [0559], Is all well [07965]? 12 5 22 And he said [0559], All is well [07965]. My master [0113] hath sent [07971] me, saying [0559], Behold, even now there be come [0935] to me from mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] two [08147] young men [05288] of the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030]: give [05414] them, I pray thee, a talent [03603] of silver [03701], and two [08147] changes [02487] of garments [0899]. 12 5 23 And Naaman [05283] said [0559], Be content [02974], take [03947] two talents [03603]. And he urged [06555] him, and bound [06696] two [08147] talents [03603] of silver [03701] in two [08147] bags [02754], with two [08147] changes [02487] of garments [0899], and laid [05414] them upon two [08147] of his servants [05288]; and they bare [05375] them before [06440] him. 12 5 24 And when he came [0935] to the tower [06076], he took [03947] them from their hand [03027], and bestowed [06485] them in the house [01004]: and he let the men [0582] go [07971], and they departed [03212]. 12 5 25 But he went in [0935], and stood [05975] before his master [0113]. And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto him, Whence [0370] comest thou, Gehazi [01522]? And he said [0559], Thy servant [05650] went [01980] no whither [0575]. 12 5 26 And he said [0559] unto him, Went [01980] not mine heart [03820] with thee, when the man [0376] turned [02015] again from his chariot [04818] to meet [07125] thee? Is it a time [06256] to receive [03947] money [03701], and to receive [03947] garments [0899], and oliveyards [02132], and vineyards [03754], and sheep [06629], and oxen [01241], and menservants [05650], and maidservants [08198]? 12 5 27 The leprosy [06883] therefore of Naaman [05283] shall cleave [01692] unto thee, and unto thy seed [02233] for ever [05769]. And he went out [03318] from his presence [06440] a leper [06879] as white as snow [07950]. 12 6 1 And the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] said [0559] unto [06440] Elisha [0477], Behold now, the place [04725] where we dwell [03427] with thee is too strait [06862] for us. 12 6 2 Let us go [03212], we pray thee, unto Jordan [03383], and take [03947] thence every man [0376] a [0259] beam [06982], and let us make [06213] us a place [04725] there, where we may dwell [03427]. And he answered [0559], Go [03212] ye. 12 6 3 And one [0259] said [0559], Be content [02974], I pray thee, and go [03212] with thy servants [05650]. And he answered [0559], I will go [03212]. 12 6 4 So he went [03212] with them. And when they came [0935] to Jordan [03383], they cut down [01504] wood [06086]. 12 6 5 But as one [0259] was felling [05307] a beam [06982], the axe head [01270] fell [05307] into the water [04325]: and he cried [06817], and said [0559], Alas [0162], master [0113]! for it was borrowed [07592]. 12 6 6 And the man [0376] of God [0430] said [0559], Where [0575] fell [05307] it? And he shewed [07200] him the place [04725]. And he cut down [07094] a stick [06086], and cast [07993] it in thither; and the iron [01270] did swim [06687]. 12 6 7 Therefore said [0559] he, Take it up [07311] to thee. And he put out [07971] his hand [03027], and took [03947] it. 12 6 8 Then the king [04428] of Syria [0758] warred [03898] against Israel [03478], and took counsel [03289] with his servants [05650], saying [0559], In such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725] shall be my camp [08466]. 12 6 9 And the man [0376] of God [0430] sent [07971] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Beware [08104] that thou pass [05674] not such [02088] a place [04725]; for thither the Syrians [0758] are come down [05185]. 12 6 10 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] to the place [04725] which the man [0376] of God [0430] told [0559] him and warned [02094] him of, and saved [08104] himself there, not once [0259] nor twice [08147]. 12 6 11 Therefore the heart [03820] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758] was sore troubled [05590] for this thing [01697]; and he called [07121] his servants [05650], and said [0559] unto them, Will ye not shew [05046] me which of us is for the king [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 6 12 And one [0259] of his servants [05650] said [0559], None, my lord [0113], O king [04428]: but Elisha [0477], the prophet [05030] that is in Israel [03478], telleth [05046] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] the words [01697] that thou speakest [01696] in thy bedchamber [02315] [04904]. 12 6 13 And he said [0559], Go [03212] and spy [07200] where [0351] he is, that I may send [07971] and fetch [03947] him. And it was told [05046] him, saying [0559], Behold, he is in Dothan [01886]. 12 6 14 Therefore sent [07971] he thither horses [05483], and chariots [07393], and a great [03515] host [02428]: and they came [0935] by night [03915], and compassed [05362] the city [05892] about [05362]. 12 6 15 And when the servant [08334] of the man [0376] of God [0430] was risen [06965] early [07925], and gone forth [03318], behold, an host [02428] compassed [05437] the city [05892] both with horses [05483] and chariots [07393]. And his servant [05288] said [0559] unto him, Alas [0162], my master [0113]! how shall we do [06213]? 12 6 16 And he answered [0559], Fear [03372] not: for they that be with us are more [07227] than they that be with them. 12 6 17 And Elisha [0477] prayed [06419], and said [0559], LORD [03068], I pray thee, open [06491] his eyes [05869], that he may see [07200]. And the LORD [03068] opened [06491] the eyes [05869] of the young man [05288]; and he saw [07200]: and, behold, the mountain [02022] was full [04390] of horses [05483] and chariots [07393] of fire [0784] round about [05439] Elisha [0477]. 12 6 18 And when they came down [03381] to him, Elisha [0477] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Smite [05221] this people [01471], I pray thee, with blindness [05575]. And he smote [05221] them with blindness [05575] according to the word [01697] of Elisha [0477]. 12 6 19 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto them, This is not the way [01870], neither is this [02090] the city [05892]: follow [03212] [0310] me, and I will bring [03212] you to the man [0376] whom ye seek [01245]. But he led [03212] them to Samaria [08111]. 12 6 20 And it came to pass, when they were come [0935] into Samaria [08111], that Elisha [0477] said [0559], LORD [03068], open [06491] the eyes [05869] of these men, that they may see [07200]. And the LORD [03068] opened [06491] their eyes [05869], and they saw [07200]; and, behold, they were in the midst [08432] of Samaria [08111]. 12 6 21 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], when he saw [07200] them, My father [01], shall I smite [05221] them? shall I smite [05221] them? 12 6 22 And he answered [0559], Thou shalt not smite [05221] them: wouldest thou smite [05221] those whom thou hast taken captive [07617] with thy sword [02719] and with thy bow [07198]? set [07760] bread [03899] and water [04325] before [06440] them, that they may eat [0398] and drink [08354], and go [03212] to their master [0113]. 12 6 23 And he prepared [03739] great [01419] provision [03740] for them: and when they had eaten [0398] and drunk [08354], he sent them away [07971], and they went [03212] to their master [0113]. So the bands [01416] of Syria [0758] came [0935] no more [03254] into the land [0776] of Israel [03478]. 12 6 24 And it came to pass after this [0310], that Benhadad [01130] king [04428] of Syria [0758] gathered [06908] all his host [04264], and went up [05927], and besieged [06696] Samaria [08111]. 12 6 25 And there was a great [01419] famine [07458] in Samaria [08111]: and, behold, they besieged [06696] it, until an ass's [02543] head [07218] was sold for fourscore [08084] pieces of silver [03701], and the fourth part [07255] of a cab [06894] of dove's dung [01686] [03123] [02755] for five [02568] pieces of silver [03701]. 12 6 26 And as the king [04428] of Israel [03478] was passing by [05674] upon the wall [02346], there cried [06817] a woman [0802] unto him, saying [0559], Help [03467], my lord [0113], O king [04428]. 12 6 27 And he said [0559], If the LORD [03068] do not help [03467] thee, whence [0370] shall I help [03467] thee? out of the barnfloor [01637], or out of the winepress [03342]? 12 6 28 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered [0559], This woman [0802] said [0559] unto me, Give [05414] thy son [01121], that we may eat [0398] him to day [03117], and we will eat [0398] my son [01121] to morrow [04279]. 12 6 29 So we boiled [01310] my son [01121], and did eat [0398] him: and I said [0559] unto her on the next [0312] day [03117], Give [05414] thy son [01121], that we may eat [0398] him: and she hath hid [02244] her son [01121]. 12 6 30 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] heard [08085] the words [01697] of the woman [0802], that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899]; and he passed by [05674] upon the wall [02346], and the people [05971] looked [07200], and, behold, he had sackcloth [08242] within [01004] upon his flesh [01320]. 12 6 31 Then he said [0559], God [0430] do [06213] so and more [03254] also to me, if the head [07218] of Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202] shall stand [05975] on him this day [03117]. 12 6 32 But Elisha [0477] sat [03427] in his house [01004], and the elders [02205] sat [03427] with him; and the king sent [07971] a man [0376] from before [06440] him: but ere the messenger [04397] came [0935] to him, he said [0559] to the elders [02205], See [07200] ye how this son [01121] of a murderer [07523] hath sent [07971] to take away [05493] mine head [07218]? look [07200], when the messenger [04397] cometh [0935], shut [05462] the door [01817], and hold him fast [03905] at the door [01817]: is not the sound [06963] of his master's [0113] feet [07272] behind [0310] him? 12 6 33 And while he yet talked [01696] with them, behold, the messenger [04397] came down [03381] unto him: and he said [0559], Behold, this evil [07451] is of the LORD [03068]; what should I wait [03176] for the LORD [03068] any longer? 12 7 1 Then Elisha [0477] said [0559], Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], To morrow [04279] about this time [06256] shall a measure [05429] of fine flour [05560] be sold for a shekel [08255], and two measures [05429] of barley [08184] for a shekel [08255], in the gate [08179] of Samaria [08111]. 12 7 2 Then a lord [07991] on whose hand [03027] the king [04428] leaned [08172] answered [06030] the man [0376] of God [0430], and said [0559], Behold, if the LORD [03068] would make [06213] windows [0699] in heaven [08064], might this thing [01697] be? And he said [0559], Behold, thou shalt see [07200] it with thine eyes [05869], but shalt not eat [0398] thereof. 12 7 3 And there were four [0702] leprous [06879] men [0582] at the entering in [06607] of the gate [08179]: and they said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], Why sit [03427] we here until we die [04191]? 12 7 4 If we say [0559], We will enter [0935] into the city [05892], then the famine [07458] is in the city [05892], and we shall die [04191] there: and if we sit still [03427] here, we die [04191] also. Now therefore come [03212], and let us fall [05307] unto the host [04264] of the Syrians [0758]: if they save us alive [02421], we shall live [02421]; and if they kill [04191] us, we shall but die [04191]. 12 7 5 And they rose up [06965] in the twilight [05399], to go [0935] unto the camp [04264] of the Syrians [0758]: and when they were come [0935] to the uttermost part [07097] of the camp [04264] of Syria [0758], behold, there was no man [0376] there. 12 7 6 For the Lord [0136] had made the host [04264] of the Syrians [0758] to hear [08085] a noise [06963] of chariots [07393], and a noise [06963] of horses [05483], even the noise [06963] of a great [01419] host [02428]: and they said [0559] one [0376] to another [0251], Lo, the king [04428] of Israel [03478] hath hired [07936] against us the kings [04428] of the Hittites [02850], and the kings [04428] of the Egyptians [04714], to come [0935] upon us. 12 7 7 Wherefore they arose [06965] and fled [05127] in the twilight [05399], and left [05800] their tents [0168], and their horses [05483], and their asses [02543], even the camp [04264] as it was, and fled [05127] for their life [05315]. 12 7 8 And when these lepers [06879] came [0935] to the uttermost part [07097] of the camp [04264], they went [0935] into one [0259] tent [0168], and did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and carried [05375] thence silver [03701], and gold [02091], and raiment [0899], and went [03212] and hid [02934] it; and came again [07725], and entered [0935] into another [0312] tent [0168], and carried [05375] thence also, and went [03212] and hid [02934] it. 12 7 9 Then they said [0559] one [0376] to another [07453], We do [06213] not well: this day [03117] is a day [03117] of good tidings [01309], and we hold our peace [02814]: if we tarry [02442] till the morning [01242] light [0216], some mischief [05771] will come [04672] upon us: now therefore come [03212], that we may go [0935] and tell [05046] the king's [04428] household [01004]. 12 7 10 So they came [0935] and called [07121] unto the porter [07778] of the city [05892]: and they told [05046] them, saying [0559], We came [0935] to the camp [04264] of the Syrians [0758], and, behold, there was no man [0376] there, neither voice [06963] of man [0120], but horses [05483] tied [0631], and asses [02543] tied [0631], and the tents [0168] as they were. 12 7 11 And he called [07121] the porters [07778]; and they told [05046] it to the king's [04428] house [01004] within [06441]. 12 7 12 And the king [04428] arose [06965] in the night [03915], and said [0559] unto his servants [05650], I will now shew [05046] you what the Syrians [0758] have done [06213] to us. They know [03045] that we be hungry [07457]; therefore are they gone out [03318] of the camp [04264] to hide [02247] themselves in the field [07704], saying [0559], When they come out [03318] of the city [05892], we shall catch [08610] them alive [02416], and get [0935] into the city [05892]. 12 7 13 And one [0259] of his servants [05650] answered [06030] and said [0559], Let some take [03947], I pray thee, five [02568] of the horses [05483] that remain [07604], which are left [07604] in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude [01995] of Israel [03478] that are left [07604] in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude [01995] of the Israelites [03478] that are consumed [08552] and let us send [07971] and see [07200]. 12 7 14 They took [03947] therefore two [08147] chariot [07393] horses [05483]; and the king [04428] sent [07971] after [0310] the host [04264] of the Syrians [0758], saying [0559], Go [03212] and see [07200]. 12 7 15 And they went [03212] after [0310] them unto Jordan [03383]: and, lo, all the way [01870] was full [04392] of garments [0899] and vessels [03627], which the Syrians [0758] had cast away [07993] in their haste [02648]. And the messengers [04397] returned [07725], and told [05046] the king [04428]. 12 7 16 And the people [05971] went out [03318], and spoiled [0962] the tents [04264] of the Syrians [0758]. So a measure [05429] of fine flour [05560] was sold for a shekel [08255], and two measures [05429] of barley [08184] for a shekel [08255], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 12 7 17 And the king [04428] appointed [06485] the lord [07991] on whose hand [03027] he leaned [08172] to have the charge of the gate [08179]: and the people [05971] trode [07429] upon him in the gate [08179], and he died [04191], as the man [0376] of God [0430] had said [01696], who spake [01696] when the king [04428] came down [03381] to him. 12 7 18 And it came to pass as the man [0376] of God [0430] had spoken [01696] to the king [04428], saying [0559], Two measures [05429] of barley [08184] for a shekel [08255], and a measure [05429] of fine flour [05560] for a shekel [08255], shall be to morrow [04279] about this time [06256] in the gate [08179] of Samaria [08111]: 12 7 19 And that lord [07991] answered [06030] the man [0376] of God [0430], and said [0559], Now, behold, if the LORD [03068] should make [06213] windows [0699] in heaven [08064], might such a thing [01697] be? And he said [0559], Behold, thou shalt see [07200] it with thine eyes [05869], but shalt not eat [0398] thereof. 12 7 20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people [05971] trode [07429] upon him in the gate [08179], and he died [04191]. 12 8 1 Then spake [01696] Elisha [0477] unto the woman [0802], whose son [01121] he had restored to life [02421], saying [0559], Arise [06965], and go [03212] thou and thine household [01004], and sojourn [01481] wheresoever [0834] thou canst sojourn [01481]: for the LORD [03068] hath called [07121] for a famine [07458]; and it shall also come [0935] upon the land [0776] seven [07651] years [08141]. 12 8 2 And the woman [0802] arose [06965], and did [06213] after the saying [01697] of the man [0376] of God [0430]: and she went [03212] with her household [01004], and sojourned [01481] in the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430] seven [07651] years [08141]. 12 8 3 And it came to pass at the seven [07651] years [08141]' end [07097], that the woman [0802] returned [07725] out of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430]: and she went forth [03318] to cry [06817] unto the king [04428] for her house [01004] and for her land [07704]. 12 8 4 And the king [04428] talked [01696] with Gehazi [01522] the servant [05288] of the man [0376] of God [0430], saying [0559], Tell [05608] me, I pray thee, all the great things [01419] that Elisha [0477] hath done [06213]. 12 8 5 And it came to pass, as he was telling [05608] the king [04428] how he had restored [02421] a dead body [04191] to life [02421], that, behold, the woman [0802], whose son [01121] he had restored to life [02421], cried [06817] to the king [04428] for her house [01004] and for her land [07704]. And Gehazi [01522] said [0559], My lord [0113], O king [04428], this is the woman [0802], and this is her son [01121], whom Elisha [0477] restored to life [02421]. 12 8 6 And when the king [04428] asked [07592] the woman [0802], she told [05608] him. So the king [04428] appointed [05414] unto her a certain [0259] officer [05631], saying [0559], Restore [07725] all that was hers, and all the fruits [08393] of the field [07704] since the day [03117] that she left [05800] the land [0776], even until now. 12 8 7 And Elisha [0477] came [0935] to Damascus [01834]; and Benhadad [01130] the king [04428] of Syria [0758] was sick [02470]; and it was told [05046] him, saying [0559], The man [0376] of God [0430] is come [0935] hither [02008]. 12 8 8 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Hazael [02371], Take [03947] a present [04503] in thine hand [03027], and go [03212], meet [07125] the man [0376] of God [0430], and enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068] by him, saying [0559], Shall I recover [02421] of this disease [02483]? 12 8 9 So Hazael [02371] went [03212] to meet [07125] him, and took [03947] a present [04503] with him [03027], even of every good thing [02898] of Damascus [01834], forty [0705] camels [01581]' burden [04853], and came [0935] and stood [05975] before [06440] him, and said [0559], Thy son [01121] Benhadad [01130] king [04428] of Syria [0758] hath sent [07971] me to thee, saying [0559], Shall I recover [02421] of this disease [02483]? 12 8 10 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], say [0559] unto him, Thou mayest certainly [02421] recover [02421]: howbeit the LORD [03068] hath shewed [07200] me that he shall surely [04191] die [04191]. 12 8 11 And he settled [05975] his countenance [06440] stedfastly [07760], until he was ashamed [0954]: and the man [0376] of God [0430] wept [01058]. 12 8 12 And Hazael [02371] said [0559], Why weepeth [01058] my lord [0113]? And he answered [0559], Because I know [03045] the evil [07451] that thou wilt do [06213] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: their strong holds [04013] wilt thou set [07971] on fire [0784], and their young men [0970] wilt thou slay [02026] with the sword [02719], and wilt dash [07376] their children [05768], and rip up [01234] their women with child [02030]. 12 8 13 And Hazael [02371] said [0559], But what, is thy servant [05650] a dog [03611], that he should do [06213] this great [01419] thing [01697]? And Elisha [0477] answered [0559], The LORD [03068] hath shewed [07200] me that thou shalt be king [04428] over Syria [0758]. 12 8 14 So he departed [03212] from Elisha [0477], and came [0935] to his master [0113]; who said [0559] to him, What said [0559] Elisha [0477] to thee? And he answered [0559], He told [0559] me that thou shouldest surely [02421] recover [02421]. 12 8 15 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that he took [03947] a thick cloth [04346], and dipped [02881] it in water [04325], and spread [06566] it on his face [06440], so that he died [04191]: and Hazael [02371] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 8 16 And in the fifth [02568] year [08141] of Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478], Jehoshaphat [03092] being then king [04428] of Judah [03063], Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427]. 12 8 17 Thirty [07970] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] eight [08083] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. 12 8 18 And he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], as did [06213] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for the daughter [01323] of Ahab [0256] was his wife [0802]: and he did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 12 8 19 Yet the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] Judah [03063] for David [01732] his servant's [05650] sake, as he promised [0559] him to give [05414] him alway [03117] a light [05216], and to his children [01121]. 12 8 20 In his days [03117] Edom [0123] revolted [06586] from under the hand [03027] of Judah [03063], and made [04427] a king [04428] over themselves. 12 8 21 So Joram [03141] went over [05674] to Zair [06811], and all the chariots [07393] with him: and he rose [06965] by night [03915], and smote [05221] the Edomites [0123] which compassed him about [05437], and the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393]: and the people [05971] fled [05127] into their tents [0168]. 12 8 22 Yet Edom [0123] revolted [06586] from under the hand [03027] of Judah [03063] unto this day [03117]. Then Libnah [03841] revolted [06586] at the same [01931] time [06256]. 12 8 23 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Joram [03141], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 8 24 And Joram [03141] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Ahaziah [0274] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 8 25 In the twelfth [08147] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478] did Ahaziah [0274] the son [01121] of Jehoram [03088] king [04428] of Judah [03063] begin to reign [04427]. 12 8 26 Two [08147] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] was Ahaziah [0274] when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] one [0259] year [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Athaliah [06271], the daughter [01323] of Omri [06018] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 8 27 And he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], as did the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for he was the son in law [02860] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]. 12 8 28 And he went [03212] with Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] to the war [04421] against Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758] in Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]; and the Syrians [0761] wounded [05221] Joram [03141]. 12 8 29 And king [04428] Joram [03141] went back [07725] to be healed [07495] in Jezreel [03157] of the wounds [04347] which the Syrians [0761] had given [05221] him at Ramah [07414], when he fought [03898] against Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758]. And Ahaziah [0274] the son [01121] of Jehoram [03088] king [04428] of Judah [03063] went down [03381] to see [07200] Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] in Jezreel [03157], because he was sick [02470]. 12 9 1 And Elisha [0477] the prophet [05030] called [07121] one [0259] of the children [01121] of the prophets [05030], and said [0559] unto him, Gird up [02296] thy loins [04975], and take [03947] this box [06378] of oil [08081] in thine hand [03027], and go [03212] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]: 12 9 2 And when thou comest [0935] thither, look out [07200] there Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Nimshi [05250], and go in [0935], and make him arise up [06965] from among [08432] his brethren [0251], and carry [0935] him to an inner [02315] chamber [02315]; 12 9 3 Then take [03947] the box [06378] of oil [08081], and pour [03332] it on his head [07218], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], I have anointed [04886] thee king [04428] over Israel [03478]. Then open [06605] the door [01817], and flee [05127], and tarry [02442] not. 12 9 4 So the young man [05288], even the young man [05288] the prophet [05030], went [03212] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]. 12 9 5 And when he came [0935], behold, the captains [08269] of the host [02428] were sitting [03427]; and he said [0559], I have an errand [01697] to thee, O captain [08269]. And Jehu [03058] said [0559], Unto which of all us? And he said [0559], To thee, O captain [08269]. 12 9 6 And he arose [06965], and went [0935] into the house [01004]; and he poured [03332] the oil [08081] on his head [07218], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], I have anointed [04886] thee king [04428] over the people [05971] of the LORD [03068], even over Israel [03478]. 12 9 7 And thou shalt smite [05221] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] thy master [0113], that I may avenge [05358] the blood [01818] of my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], and the blood [01818] of all the servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], at the hand [03027] of Jezebel [0348]. 12 9 8 For the whole house [01004] of Ahab [0256] shall perish [06]: and I will cut off [03772] from Ahab [0256] him that pisseth [08366] against the wall [07023], and him that is shut up [06113] and left [05800] in Israel [03478]: 12 9 9 And I will make [05414] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] like the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], and like the house [01004] of Baasha [01201] the son [01121] of Ahijah [0281]: 12 9 10 And the dogs [03611] shall eat [0398] Jezebel [0348] in the portion [02506] of Jezreel [03157], and there shall be none to bury [06912] her. And he opened [06605] the door [01817], and fled [05127]. 12 9 11 Then Jehu [03058] came forth [03318] to the servants [05650] of his lord [0113]: and one said [0559] unto him, Is all well [07965]? wherefore came [0935] this mad [07696] fellow to thee? And he said [0559] unto them, Ye know [03045] the man [0376], and his communication [07879]. 12 9 12 And they said [0559], It is false [08267]; tell [05046] us now. And he said [0559], Thus and thus spake [0559] he to me, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], I have anointed [04886] thee king [04428] over Israel [03478]. 12 9 13 Then they hasted [04116], and took [03947] every man [0376] his garment [0899], and put [07760] it under him on the top [01634] of the stairs [04609], and blew [08628] with trumpets [07782], saying [0559], Jehu [03058] is king [04427]. 12 9 14 So Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Nimshi [05250] conspired [07194] against Joram [03141]. (Now Joram [03141] had kept [08104] Ramothgilead [07433] [01568], he and all Israel [03478], because [06440] of Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758]. 12 9 15 But king [04428] Joram [03088] was returned [07725] to be healed [07495] in Jezreel [03157] of the wounds [04347] which the Syrians [0761] had given [05221] him, when he fought [03898] with Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758].) And Jehu [03058] said [0559], If it be [03426] your minds [05315], then let none [0408] go forth [03318] nor escape [06412] out of the city [05892] to go [03212] to tell [05046] it in Jezreel [03157]. 12 9 16 So Jehu [03058] rode in a chariot [07392], and went [03212] to Jezreel [03157]; for Joram [03141] lay [07901] there. And Ahaziah [0274] king [04428] of Judah [03063] was come down [03381] to see [07200] Joram [03141]. 12 9 17 And there stood [05975] a watchman [06822] on the tower [04026] in Jezreel [03157], and he spied [07200] the company [08229] of Jehu [03058] as he came [0935], and said [0559], I see [07200] a company [08229]. And Joram [03088] said [0559], Take [03947] an horseman [07395], and send [07971] to meet [07125] them, and let him say [0559], Is it peace [07965]? 12 9 18 So there went [03212] one on horseback [07392] [05483] to meet [07125] him, and said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Is it peace [07965]? And Jehu [03058] said [0559], What hast thou to do with peace [07965]? turn [05437] thee behind [0310] me. And the watchman [06822] told [05046], saying [0559], The messenger [04397] came [0935] to them, but he cometh not again [07725]. 12 9 19 Then he sent out [07971] a second [08145] on horseback [07392] [05483], which came [0935] to them, and said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Is it peace [07965]? And Jehu [03058] answered [0559], What hast thou to do with peace [07965]? turn [05437] thee behind [0310] me. 12 9 20 And the watchman [06822] told [05046], saying [0559], He came [0935] even unto them, and cometh not again [07725]: and the driving [04491] is like the driving [04491] of Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Nimshi [05250]; for he driveth [05090] furiously [07697]. 12 9 21 And Joram [03088] said [0559], Make ready [0631]. And his chariot [07393] was made ready [0631]. And Joram [03088] king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Ahaziah [0274] king [04428] of Judah [03063] went out [03318], each [0376] in his chariot [07393], and they went out [03318] against [07125] Jehu [03058], and met [04672] him in the portion [02513] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158]. 12 9 22 And it came to pass, when Joram [03088] saw [07200] Jehu [03058], that he said [0559], Is it peace [07965], Jehu [03058]? And he answered [0559], What peace [07965], so long as [05704] the whoredoms [02183] of thy mother [0517] Jezebel [0348] and her witchcrafts [03785] are so many [07227]? 12 9 23 And Joram [03088] turned [02015] his hands [03027], and fled [05127], and said [0559] to Ahaziah [0274], There is treachery [04820], O Ahaziah [0274]. 12 9 24 And Jehu [03058] drew a bow [07198] with his full [04390] strength [03027], and smote [05221] Jehoram [03088] between his arms [02220], and the arrow [02678] went out [03318] at his heart [03820], and he sunk down [03766] in his chariot [07393]. 12 9 25 Then said [0559] Jehu to Bidkar [0920] his captain [07991], Take up [05375], and cast [07993] him in the portion [02513] of the field [07704] of Naboth [05022] the Jezreelite [03158]: for remember [02142] how that, when I and thou rode [07392] together [06776] after [0310] Ahab [0256] his father [01], the LORD [03068] laid [05375] this burden [04853] upon him; 12 9 26 Surely I have seen [07200] yesterday [0570] the blood [01818] of Naboth [05022], and the blood [01818] of his sons [01121], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will requite [07999] thee in this plat [02513], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Now therefore take [05375] and cast [07993] him into the plat [02513] of ground, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 12 9 27 But when Ahaziah [0274] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] saw [07200] this, he fled [05127] by the way [01870] of the garden [01588] house [01004]. And Jehu [03058] followed [07291] after [0310] him, and said [0559], Smite [05221] him also in the chariot [04818]. And they did so at the going up [04608] to Gur [01483], which is by Ibleam [02991]. And he fled [05127] to Megiddo [04023], and died [04191] there. 12 9 28 And his servants [05650] carried [07392] him in a chariot to Jerusalem [03389], and buried [06912] him in his sepulchre [06900] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]. 12 9 29 And in the eleventh [0259] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Joram [03141] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] began Ahaziah [0274] to reign [04427] over Judah [03063]. 12 9 30 And when Jehu [03058] was come [0935] to Jezreel [03157], Jezebel [0348] heard [08085] of it; and she painted [07760] [06320] her face [05869], and tired [03190] her head [07218], and looked out [08259] at a window [02474]. 12 9 31 And as Jehu [03058] entered in [0935] at the gate [08179], she said [0559], Had Zimri [02174] peace [07965], who slew [02026] his master [0113]? 12 9 32 And he lifted up [05375] his face [06440] to the window [02474], and said [0559], Who is on my side? who? And there looked out [08259] to him two [08147] or three [07969] eunuchs [05631]. 12 9 33 And he said [0559], Throw her down [08058]. So they threw her down [08058]: and some of her blood [01818] was sprinkled [05137] on the wall [07023], and on the horses [05483]: and he trode her under foot [07429]. 12 9 34 And when he was come in [0935], he did eat [0398] and drink [08354], and said [0559], Go [06485], see now this cursed [0779] woman, and bury [06912] her: for she is a king's [04428] daughter [01323]. 12 9 35 And they went [03212] to bury [06912] her: but they found [04672] no more of her than [0518] the skull [01538], and the feet [07272], and the palms [03709] of her hands [03027]. 12 9 36 Wherefore they came again [07725], and told [05046] him. And he said [0559], This is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559], In the portion [02506] of Jezreel [03157] shall dogs [03611] eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of Jezebel [0348]: 12 9 37 And the carcase [05038] of Jezebel [0348] shall be as dung [01828] upon the face [06440] of the field [07704] in the portion [02506] of Jezreel [03157]; so that they shall not say [0559], This is Jezebel [0348]. 12 10 1 And Ahab [0256] had seventy [07657] sons [01121] in Samaria [08111]. And Jehu [03058] wrote [03789] letters [05612], and sent [07971] to Samaria [08111], unto the rulers [08269] of Jezreel [03157], to the elders [02205], and to them that brought up [0539] Ahab's [0256] children, saying [0559], 12 10 2 Now as soon as this letter [05612] cometh [0935] to you, seeing your master's [0113] sons [01121] are with you, and there are with you chariots [07393] and horses [05483], a fenced [04013] city [05892] also, and armour [05402]; 12 10 3 Look even out [07200] the best [02896] and meetest [03477] of your master's [0113] sons [01121], and set [07760] him on his father's [01] throne [03678], and fight [03898] for your master's [0113] house [01004]. 12 10 4 But they were exceedingly [03966] [03966] afraid [03372], and said [0559], Behold, two [08147] kings [04428] stood [05975] not before [06440] him: how then shall we stand [05975]? 12 10 5 And he that was over the house [01004], and he that was over the city [05892], the elders [02205] also, and the bringers up [0539] of the children, sent [07971] to Jehu [03058], saying [0559], We are thy servants [05650], and will do [06213] all that thou shalt bid [0559] us; we will not make any [0376] king [04427]: do [06213] thou that which is good [02896] in thine eyes [05869]. 12 10 6 Then he wrote [03789] a letter [05612] the second time [08145] to them, saying [0559], If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken [08085] unto my voice [06963], take [03947] ye the heads [07218] of the men [0582] your master's [0113] sons [01121], and come [0935] to me to Jezreel [03157] by to morrow [04279] this time [06256]. Now the king's [04428] sons [01121], being seventy [07657] persons [0376], were with the great men [01419] of the city [05892], which brought them up [01431]. 12 10 7 And it came to pass, when the letter [05612] came [0935] to them, that they took [03947] the king's [04428] sons [01121], and slew [07819] seventy [07657] persons [0376], and put [07760] their heads [07218] in baskets [01731], and sent [07971] him them to Jezreel [03157]. 12 10 8 And there came [0935] a messenger [04397], and told [05046] him, saying [0559], They have brought [0935] the heads [07218] of the king's [04428] sons [01121]. And he said [0559], Lay [07760] ye them in two [08147] heaps [06652] at the entering in [06607] of the gate [08179] until the morning [01242]. 12 10 9 And it came to pass in the morning [01242], that he went out [03318], and stood [05975], and said [0559] to all the people [05971], Ye be righteous [06662]: behold, I conspired [07194] against my master [0113], and slew [02026] him: but who slew [05221] all these? 12 10 10 Know [03045] now [0645] that there shall fall [05307] unto the earth [0776] nothing of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which the LORD [03068] spake [01696] concerning the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for the LORD [03068] hath done [06213] that which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Elijah [0452]. 12 10 11 So Jehu [03058] slew [05221] all that remained [07604] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] in Jezreel [03157], and all his great men [01419], and his kinsfolks [03045], and his priests [03548], until he left [07604] him none remaining [08300]. 12 10 12 And he arose [06965] and departed [0935], and came [03212] to Samaria [08111]. And as he was at the shearing [07462] house [01004] [01044] in the way [01870], 12 10 13 Jehu [03058] met [04672] with the brethren [0251] of Ahaziah [0274] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and said [0559], Who are ye? And they answered [0559], We are the brethren [0251] of Ahaziah [0274]; and we go down [03381] to salute [07965] the children [01121] of the king [04428] and the children [01121] of the queen [01377]. 12 10 14 And he said [0559], Take [08610] them alive [02416]. And they took [08610] them alive [02416], and slew [07819] them at the pit [0953] of the shearing house [01044], even two [08147] and forty [0705] men [0376]; neither left [07604] he any [0376] of them. 12 10 15 And when he was departed [03212] thence, he lighted [04672] on Jehonadab [03082] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394] coming to meet [07125] him: and he saluted [01288] him, and said [0559] to him, Is [03426] thine heart [03824] right [03477], as my heart [03824] is with thy heart [03824]? And Jehonadab [03082] answered [0559], It is [03426]. If it be, give [05414] me thine hand [03027]. And he gave [05414] him his hand [03027]; and he took him up [05927] to him into the chariot [04818]. 12 10 16 And he said [0559], Come [03212] with me, and see [07200] my zeal [07068] for the LORD [03068]. So they made him ride [07392] in his chariot [07393]. 12 10 17 And when he came [0935] to Samaria [08111], he slew [05221] all that remained [07604] unto Ahab [0256] in Samaria [08111], till he had destroyed [08045] him, according to the saying [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] to Elijah [0452]. 12 10 18 And Jehu [03058] gathered [06908] all the people [05971] together [06908], and said [0559] unto them, Ahab [0256] served [05647] Baal [01168] a little [04592]; but Jehu [03058] shall serve [05647] him much [07235]. 12 10 19 Now therefore call [07121] unto me all the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168], all his servants [05647], and all his priests [03548]; let none [0376] be wanting [06485]: for I have a great [01419] sacrifice [02077] to do to Baal [01168]; whosoever shall be wanting [06485], he shall not live [02421]. But Jehu [03058] did [06213] it in subtilty [06122], to the intent that he might destroy [06] the worshippers [05647] of Baal [01168]. 12 10 20 And Jehu [03058] said [0559], Proclaim [06942] a solemn assembly [06116] for Baal [01168]. And they proclaimed [07121] it. 12 10 21 And Jehu [03058] sent [07971] through all Israel [03478]: and all the worshippers [05647] of Baal [01168] came [0935], so that there was not a man [0376] left [07604] that came [0935] not. And they came [0935] into the house [01004] of Baal [01168]; and the house [01004] of Baal [01168] was full [04390] from one end [06310] to another [06310]. 12 10 22 And he said [0559] unto him that was over the vestry [04458], Bring forth [03318] vestments [03830] for all the worshippers [05647] of Baal [01168]. And he brought them forth [03318] vestments [04403]. 12 10 23 And Jehu [03058] went [0935], and Jehonadab [03082] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394], into the house [01004] of Baal [01168], and said [0559] unto the worshippers [05647] of Baal [01168], Search [02664], and look [07200] that there be [03426] here with you none of the servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], but the worshippers [05647] of Baal [01168] only. 12 10 24 And when they went in [0935] to offer [06213] sacrifices [02077] and burnt offerings [05930], Jehu [03058] appointed [07760] fourscore [08084] men [0376] without [02351], and said [0559], If any [0376] of the men [0582] whom I have brought [0935] into your hands [03027] escape [04422], he that letteth him go, his life [05315] shall be for the life [05315] of him. 12 10 25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end [03615] of offering [06213] the burnt offering [05930], that Jehu [03058] said [0559] to the guard [07323] and to the captains [07991], Go in [0935], and slay [05221] them; let none [0376] come forth [03318]. And they smote [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and the guard [07323] and the captains [07991] cast them out [07993], and went [03212] to the city [05892] of the house [01004] of Baal [01168]. 12 10 26 And they brought forth [03318] the images [04676] out of the house [01004] of Baal [01168], and burned [08313] them. 12 10 27 And they brake down [05422] the image [04676] of Baal [01168], and brake down [05422] the house [01004] of Baal [01168], and made [07760] it a draught house [04163] [04280] unto this day [03117]. 12 10 28 Thus Jehu [03058] destroyed [08045] Baal [01168] out of Israel [03478]. 12 10 29 Howbeit from the sins [02399] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398], Jehu [03058] departed [05493] not from after [0310] them, to wit, the golden [02091] calves [05695] that were in Bethel [01008], and that were in Dan [01835]. 12 10 30 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Jehu [03058], Because thou hast done well [02895] in executing [06213] that which is right [03477] in mine eyes [05869], and hast done [06213] unto the house [01004] of Ahab [0256] according to all that was in mine heart [03824], thy children [01121] of the fourth [07243] generation shall sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]. 12 10 31 But Jehu [03058] took no heed [08104] to walk [03212] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] with all his heart [03824]: for he departed [05493] not from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379], which made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 10 32 In those days [03117] the LORD [03068] began [02490] to cut [07096] Israel [03478] short [07096]: and Hazael [02371] smote [05221] them in all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478]; 12 10 33 From Jordan [03383] eastward [04217] [08121], all the land [0776] of Gilead [01568], the Gadites [01425], and the Reubenites [07206], and the Manassites [04520], from Aroer [06177], which is by the river [05158] Arnon [0769], even Gilead [01568] and Bashan [01316]. 12 10 34 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehu [03058], and all that he did [06213], and all his might [01369], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 10 35 And Jehu [03058] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]: and they buried [06912] him in Samaria [08111]. And Jehoahaz [03059] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 10 36 And the time [03117] that Jehu [03058] reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] was twenty [06242] and eight [08083] years [08141]. 12 11 1 And when Athaliah [06271] the mother [0517] of Ahaziah [0274] saw [07200] that her son [01121] was dead [04191], she arose [06965] and destroyed [06] all the seed [02233] royal [04467]. 12 11 2 But Jehosheba [03089], the daughter [01323] of king [04428] Joram [03141], sister [0269] of Ahaziah [0274], took [03947] Joash [03101] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], and stole [01589] him from among [08432] the king's [04428] sons [01121] which were slain [04191]; and they hid [05641] him, even him and his nurse [03243], in the bedchamber [02315] [04296] from [06440] Athaliah [06271], so that he was not slain [04191]. 12 11 3 And he was with her hid [02244] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] six [08337] years [08141]. And Athaliah [06271] did reign [04427] over the land [0776]. 12 11 4 And the seventh [07637] year [08141] Jehoiada [03077] sent [07971] and fetched [03947] the rulers [08269] over hundreds [03967], with the captains [03746] and the guard [07323], and brought [0935] them to him into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] with them, and took an oath [07650] of them in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and shewed [07200] them the king's [04428] son [01121]. 12 11 5 And he commanded [06680] them, saying [0559], This is the thing [01697] that ye shall do [06213]; A third part [07992] of you that enter in [0935] on the sabbath [07676] shall even be keepers [08104] of the watch [04931] of the king's [04428] house [01004]; 12 11 6 And a third part [07992] shall be at the gate [08179] of Sur [05495]; and a third part [07992] at the gate [08179] behind [0310] the guard [07323]: so shall ye keep [08104] the watch [04931] of the house [01004], that it be not broken down [04535]. 12 11 7 And two [08147] parts [03027] of all you that go forth [03318] on the sabbath [07676], even they shall keep [08104] the watch [04931] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] about [0413] the king [04428]. 12 11 8 And ye shall compass [05362] the king [04428] round about [05439], every man [0376] with his weapons [03627] in his hand [03027]: and he that cometh [0935] within the ranges [07713], let him be slain [04191]: and be ye with the king [04428] as he goeth out [03318] and as he cometh in [0935]. 12 11 9 And the captains [08269] over the hundreds [03967] did [06213] according to all things that Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] commanded [06680]: and they took [03947] every man [0376] his men [0582] that were to come in [0935] on the sabbath [07676], with them that should go out [03318] on the sabbath [07676], and came [0935] to Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548]. 12 11 10 And to the captains [08269] over hundreds [03967] did the priest [03548] give [05414] king [04428] David's [01732] spears [02595] and shields [07982], that were in the temple [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 11 11 And the guard [07323] stood [05975], every man [0376] with his weapons [03627] in his hand [03027], round about [05439] the king [04428], from the right [03233] corner [03802] of the temple [01004] to the left [08042] corner [03802] of the temple [01004], along by the altar [04196] and the temple [01004]. 12 11 12 And he brought forth [03318] the king's [04428] son [01121], and put [05414] the crown [05145] upon him, and gave him the testimony [05715]; and they made him king [04427], and anointed [04886] him; and they clapped [05221] their hands [03709], and said [0559], God save [02421] the king [04428]. 12 11 13 And when Athaliah [06271] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the guard [07323] and of the people [05971], she came [0935] to the people [05971] into the temple [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 11 14 And when she looked [07200], behold, the king [04428] stood [05975] by a pillar [05982], as the manner [04941] was, and the princes [08269] and the trumpeters [02689] by the king [04428], and all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08056], and blew [08628] with trumpets [02689]: and Athaliah [06271] rent [07167] her clothes [0899], and cried [07121], Treason [07195], Treason [07195]. 12 11 15 But Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] commanded [06680] the captains [08269] of the hundreds [03967], the officers [06485] of the host [02428], and said [0559] unto them, Have her forth [03318] without [01004] the ranges [07713]: and him that followeth [0935] [0310] her kill [04191] with the sword [02719]. For the priest [03548] had said [0559], Let her not be slain [04191] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 11 16 And they laid [07760] hands [03027] on her; and she went [0935] by the way [01870] by the which the horses [05483] came [03996] into the king's [04428] house [01004]: and there was she slain [04191]. 12 11 17 And Jehoiada [03077] made [03772] a covenant [01285] between the LORD [03068] and the king [04428] and the people [05971], that they should be the LORD'S [03068] people [05971]; between the king [04428] also and the people [05971]. 12 11 18 And all the people [05971] of the land [0776] went [0935] into the house [01004] of Baal [01168], and brake it down [05422]; his altars [04196] and his images [06754] brake they in pieces [07665] thoroughly [03190], and slew [02026] Mattan [04977] the priest [03548] of Baal [01168] before [06440] the altars [04196]. And the priest [03548] appointed [07760] officers [06485] [06486] over the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 11 19 And he took [03947] the rulers [08269] over hundreds [03967], and the captains [03746], and the guard [07323], and all the people [05971] of the land [0776]; and they brought down [03381] the king [04428] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and came [0935] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] of the guard [07323] to the king's [04428] house [01004]. And he sat [03427] on the throne [03678] of the kings [04428]. 12 11 20 And all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08055], and the city [05892] was in quiet [08252]: and they slew [04191] Athaliah [06271] with the sword [02719] beside the king's [04428] house [01004]. 12 11 21 Seven [07651] years [08141] old [01121] was Jehoash [03060] when he began to reign [04427]. 12 12 1 In the seventh [07651] year [08141] of Jehu [03058] Jehoash [03060] began to reign [04427]; and forty [0705] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Zibiah [06645] of Beersheba [0884]. 12 12 2 And Jehoash [03060] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] all his days [03117] wherein Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] instructed [03384] him. 12 12 3 But the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493]: the people [05971] still sacrificed [02076] and burnt incense [06999] in the high places [01116]. 12 12 4 And Jehoash [03060] said [0559] to the priests [03548], All the money [03701] of the dedicated things [06944] that is brought [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], even the money [03701] of every one [0376] that passeth [05674] the account, the money [03701] that every man [05315] is set at [06187], and all the money [03701] that cometh [05927] into any man's [0376] heart [03820] to bring [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], 12 12 5 Let the priests [03548] take [03947] it to them, every man [0376] of his acquaintance [04378]: and let them repair [02388] the breaches [0919] of the house [01004], wheresoever any breach [0919] shall be found [04672]. 12 12 6 But it was so, that in the three [07969] [08141] and twentieth [06242] year [08141] of king [04428] Jehoash [03060] the priests [03548] had not repaired [02388] the breaches [0919] of the house [01004]. 12 12 7 Then king [04428] Jehoash [03060] called [07121] for Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], and the other priests [03548], and said [0559] unto them, Why repair [02388] ye not the breaches [0919] of the house [01004]? now therefore receive [03947] no more money [03701] of your acquaintance [04378], but deliver [05414] it for the breaches [0919] of the house [01004]. 12 12 8 And the priests [03548] consented [0225] to receive [03947] no [01115] more money [03701] of the people [05971], neither [01115] to repair [02388] the breaches [0919] of the house [01004]. 12 12 9 But Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] took [03947] a [0259] chest [0727], and bored [05344] a hole [02356] in the lid [01817] of it, and set [05414] it beside [0681] the altar [04196], on the right side [03225] as one [0376] cometh [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and the priests [03548] that kept [08104] the door [05592] put [05414] therein all the money [03701] that was brought [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 12 10 And it was so, when they saw [07200] that there was much [07227] money [03701] in the chest [0727], that the king's [04428] scribe [05608] and the high [01419] priest [03548] came up [05927], and they put up in bags [06696], and told [04487] the money [03701] that was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 12 11 And they gave [05414] the money [03701], being told [08505], into the hands [03027] of them that did [06213] the work [04399], that had the oversight [06485] [06485] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and they laid it out [03318] to the carpenters [02796] [06086] and builders [01129], that wrought [06213] upon the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], 12 12 12 And to masons [01443], and hewers [02672] of stone [068], and to buy [07069] timber [06086] and hewed [04274] stone [068] to repair [02388] the breaches [0919] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and for all that was laid out [03318] for the house [01004] to repair [02394] it. 12 12 13 Howbeit there were not made [06213] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] bowls [05592] of silver [03701], snuffers [04212], basons [04219], trumpets [02689], any vessels [03627] of gold [02091], or vessels [03627] of silver [03701], of the money [03701] that was brought [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: 12 12 14 But they gave [05414] that to the workmen [04399] [06213], and repaired [02388] therewith the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 12 15 Moreover they reckoned [02803] not with the men [0582], into whose hand [03027] they delivered [05414] the money [03701] to be bestowed [05414] on workmen [04399]: for they dealt [06213] faithfully [0530]. 12 12 16 The trespass [0817] money [03701] and sin [02403] money [03701] was not brought [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: it was the priests [03548]'. 12 12 17 Then Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758] went up [05927], and fought [03898] against Gath [01661], and took [03920] it: and Hazael [02371] set [07760] his face [06440] to go up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389]. 12 12 18 And Jehoash [03060] king [04428] of Judah [03063] took [03947] all the hallowed things [06944] that Jehoshaphat [03092], and Jehoram [03088], and Ahaziah [0274], his fathers [01], kings [04428] of Judah [03063], had dedicated [06942], and his own hallowed things [06944], and all the gold [02091] that was found [04672] in the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the king's [04428] house [01004], and sent [07971] it to Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758]: and he went away [05927] from Jerusalem [03389]. 12 12 19 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Joash [03101], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 12 20 And his servants [05650] arose [06965], and made [07194] a conspiracy [07195], and slew [05221] Joash [03101] in the house [01004] of Millo [04407] [01037], which goeth down [03381] to Silla [05538]. 12 12 21 For Jozachar [03108] the son [01121] of Shimeath [08100], and Jehozabad [03075] the son [01121] of Shomer [07763], his servants [05650], smote [05221] him, and he died [04191]; and they buried [06912] him with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Amaziah [0558] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 13 1 In the three [07969] [08141] and twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Joash [03101] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274] king [04428] of Judah [03063] Jehoahaz [03059] the son [01121] of Jehu [03058] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111], and reigned seventeen [07651] [06240] years [08141]. 12 13 2 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and followed [03212] [0310] the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], which made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]; he departed [05493] not therefrom. 12 13 3 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Israel [03478], and he delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758], and into the hand [03027] of Benhadad [01130] the son [01121] of Hazael [02371], all their days [03117]. 12 13 4 And Jehoahaz [03059] besought [02470] the LORD [03068], and the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] unto [06440] him: for he saw [07200] the oppression [03906] of Israel [03478], because the king [04428] of Syria [0758] oppressed [03905] them. 12 13 5 (And the LORD [03068] gave [05414] Israel [03478] a saviour [03467], so that they went out [03318] from under the hand [03027] of the Syrians [0758]: and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in their tents [0168], as beforetime [08032] [08543]. 12 13 6 Nevertheless they departed [05493] not from the sins [02403] of the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379], who made Israel [03478] sin [02398], but walked [01980] therein: and there remained [05975] the grove [0842] also in Samaria [08111].) 12 13 7 Neither did he leave [07604] of the people [05971] to Jehoahaz [03059] but fifty [02572] horsemen [06571], and ten [06235] chariots [07393], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] footmen [07273]; for the king [04428] of Syria [0758] had destroyed [06] them, and had made [07760] them like the dust [06083] by threshing [01758]. 12 13 8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoahaz [03059], and all that he did [06213], and his might [01369], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 13 9 And Jehoahaz [03059] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and they buried [06912] him in Samaria [08111]: and Joash [03101] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 13 10 In the thirty [07970] [08141] and seventh [07651] year [08141] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Jehoash [03060] the son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111], and reigned sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141]. 12 13 11 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]; he departed [05493] not from all the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] sin [02398]: but he walked [01980] therein. 12 13 12 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Joash [03101], and all that he did [06213], and his might [01369] wherewith he fought [03898] against Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 13 13 And Joash [03101] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and Jeroboam [03379] sat [03427] upon his throne [03678]: and Joash [03101] was buried [06912] in Samaria [08111] with the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 13 14 Now Elisha [0477] was fallen sick [02470] of his sickness [02483] whereof he died [04191]. And Joash [03101] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] came down [03381] unto him, and wept [01058] over his face [06440], and said [0559], O my father [01], my father [01], the chariot [07393] of Israel [03478], and the horsemen [06571] thereof. 12 13 15 And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto him, Take [03947] bow [07198] and arrows [02671]. And he took [03947] unto him bow [07198] and arrows [02671]. 12 13 16 And he said [0559] to the king [04428] of Israel [03478], Put [07392] thine hand [03027] upon the bow [07198]. And he put [07392] his hand [03027] upon it: and Elisha [0477] put [07760] his hands [03027] upon the king's [04428] hands [03027]. 12 13 17 And he said [0559], Open [06605] the window [02474] eastward [06924]. And he opened [06605] it. Then Elisha [0477] said [0559], Shoot [03384]. And he shot [03384]. And he said [0559], The arrow [02671] of the LORD'S [03068] deliverance [08668], and the arrow [02671] of deliverance [08668] from Syria [0758]: for thou shalt smite [05221] the Syrians [0758] in Aphek [0663], till thou have consumed [03615] them. 12 13 18 And he said [0559], Take [03947] the arrows [02671]. And he took [03947] them. And he said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], Smite [05221] upon the ground [0776]. And he smote [05221] thrice [07969] [06471], and stayed [05975]. 12 13 19 And the man [0376] of God [0430] was wroth [07107] with him, and said [0559], Thou shouldest have smitten [05221] five [02568] or six [08337] times [06471]; then hadst thou smitten [05221] Syria [0758] till thou hadst consumed [03615] it: whereas now thou shalt smite [05221] Syria [0758] but thrice [07969] [06471]. 12 13 20 And Elisha [0477] died [04191], and they buried [06912] him. And the bands [01416] of the Moabites [04124] invaded [0935] the land [0776] at the coming in [0935] of the year [08141]. 12 13 21 And it came to pass, as they were burying [06912] a man [0376], that, behold, they spied [07200] a band [01416] of men; and they cast [07993] the man [0376] into the sepulchre [06913] of Elisha [0477]: and when the man [0376] was let down [03212], and touched [05060] the bones [06106] of Elisha [0477], he revived [02421], and stood up [06965] on his feet [07272]. 12 13 22 But Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758] oppressed [03905] Israel [03478] all the days [03117] of Jehoahaz [03059]. 12 13 23 And the LORD [03068] was gracious [02603] unto them, and had compassion [07355] on them, and had respect [06437] unto them, because of [04616] his covenant [01285] with Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Jacob [03290], and would [014] not destroy [07843] them, neither cast [07993] he them from his presence [06440] as yet [05704]. 12 13 24 So Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758] died [04191]; and Benhadad [01130] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 13 25 And Jehoash [03060] the son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] took [03947] again [07725] out of the hand [03027] of Benhadad [01130] the son [01121] of Hazael [02371] the cities [05892], which he had taken [03947] out of the hand [03027] of Jehoahaz [03059] his father [01] by war [04421]. Three [07969] times [06471] did Joash [03101] beat [05221] him, and recovered [07725] the cities [05892] of Israel [03478]. 12 14 1 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Joash [03101] son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03099] king [04428] of Israel [03478] reigned [04427] Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 12 14 2 He was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and nine [08672] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jehoaddan [03086] of Jerusalem [03389]. 12 14 3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], yet [07535] not like David [01732] his father [01]: he did [06213] according to all things as Joash [03101] his father [01] did [06213]. 12 14 4 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493]: as yet [05750] the people [05971] did sacrifice [02076] and burnt incense [06999] on the high places [01116]. 12 14 5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom [04467] was confirmed [02388] in his hand [03027], that he slew [05221] his servants [05650] which had slain [05221] the king [04428] his father [01]. 12 14 6 But the children [01121] of the murderers [05221] he slew [04191] not: according unto that which is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], wherein the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], saying [0559], The fathers [01] shall not be put to death [04191] for the children [01121], nor the children [01121] be put to death [04191] for the fathers [01]; but every man [0376] shall be put to death [04191] for his own sin [02399]. 12 14 7 He slew [05221] of Edom [0123] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417] ten [06235] thousand [0505], and took [08610] Selah [05554] by war [04421], and called [07121] the name [08034] of it Joktheel [03371] unto this day [03117]. 12 14 8 Then Amaziah [0558] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Jehoash [03060], the son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] son [01121] of Jehu [03058], king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Come [03212], let us look [07200] one another in the face [06440]. 12 14 9 And Jehoash [03060] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] to Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], The thistle [02336] that was in Lebanon [03844] sent [07971] to the cedar [0730] that was in Lebanon [03844], saying [0559], Give [05414] thy daughter [01323] to my son [01121] to wife [0802]: and there passed [05674] by a wild [07704] beast [02416] that was in Lebanon [03844], and trode down [07429] the thistle [02336]. 12 14 10 Thou hast indeed [05221] smitten [05221] Edom [0123], and thine heart [03820] hath lifted thee up [05375]: glory [03513] of this, and tarry [03427] at home [01004]: for why shouldest thou meddle [01624] to thy hurt [07451], that thou shouldest fall [05307], even thou, and Judah [03063] with thee? 12 14 11 But Amaziah [0558] would not hear [08085]. Therefore Jehoash [03060] king [04428] of Israel [03478] went up [05927]; and he and Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063] looked [07200] one another in the face [06440] at Bethshemesh [01053], which belongeth to Judah [03063]. 12 14 12 And Judah [03063] was put to the worse [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478]; and they fled [05127] every man [0376] to their tents [0168]. 12 14 13 And Jehoash [03060] king [04428] of Israel [03478] took [08610] Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], the son [01121] of Jehoash [03060] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], at Bethshemesh [01053], and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] from the gate [08179] of Ephraim [0669] unto the corner [06438] gate [08179], four [0702] hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 12 14 14 And he took [03947] all the gold [02091] and silver [03701], and all the vessels [03627] that were found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and hostages [01121] [08594], and returned [07725] to Samaria [08111]. 12 14 15 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoash [03060] which he did [06213], and his might [01369], and how he fought [03898] with Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 14 16 And Jehoash [03060] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in Samaria [08111] with the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]; and Jeroboam [03379] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 14 17 And Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063] lived [02421] after [0310] the death [04194] of Jehoash [03060] son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] king [04428] of Israel [03478] fifteen [02568] [06240] years [08141]. 12 14 18 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Amaziah [0558], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 14 19 Now they made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against him in Jerusalem [03389]: and he fled [05127] to Lachish [03923]; but they sent [07971] after [0310] him to Lachish [03923], and slew [04191] him there. 12 14 20 And they brought [05375] him on horses [05483]: and he was buried [06912] at Jerusalem [03389] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]. 12 14 21 And all the people [05971] of Judah [03063] took [03947] Azariah [05838], which was sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] old [01121], and made him king [04427] instead of his father [01] Amaziah [0558]. 12 14 22 He built [01129] Elath [0359], and restored [07725] it to Judah [03063], after [0310] that the king [04428] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]. 12 14 23 In the fifteenth [02568] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063] Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Israel [03478] began to reign [04427] in Samaria [08111], and reigned forty [0705] and one [0259] years [08141]. 12 14 24 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he departed [05493] not from all the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 14 25 He restored [07725] the coast [01366] of Israel [03478] from the entering [0935] of Hamath [02574] unto the sea [03220] of the plain [06160], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which he spake [01696] by the hand [03027] of his servant [05650] Jonah [03124], the son [01121] of Amittai [0573], the prophet [05030], which was of Gathhepher [01662]. 12 14 26 For the LORD [03068] saw [07200] the affliction [06040] of Israel [03478], that it was very [03966] bitter [04784]: for there was not [0657] any shut up [06113], nor any left [05800], nor any helper [05826] for Israel [03478]. 12 14 27 And the LORD [03068] said [01696] not that he would blot out [04229] the name [08034] of Israel [03478] from under heaven [08064]: but he saved [03467] them by the hand [03027] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Joash [03101]. 12 14 28 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jeroboam [03379], and all that he did [06213], and his might [01369], how he warred [03898], and how he recovered [07725] Damascus [01834], and Hamath [02574], which belonged to Judah [03063], for Israel [03478], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 14 29 And Jeroboam [03379] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], even with the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]; and Zachariah [02148] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 15 1 In the twenty [06242] [08141] and seventh [07651] year [08141] of Jeroboam [03379] king [04428] of Israel [03478] began Azariah [05838] son [01121] of Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063] to reign [04427]. 12 15 2 Sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] two [08147] and fifty [02572] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jecholiah [03203] of Jerusalem [03389]. 12 15 3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Amaziah [0558] had done [06213]; 12 15 4 Save that the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] and burnt incense [06999] still on the high places [01116]. 12 15 5 And the LORD [03068] smote [05060] the king [04428], so that he was a leper [06879] unto the day [03117] of his death [04194], and dwelt [03427] in a several [02669] house [01004]. And Jotham [03147] the king's [04428] son [01121] was over the house [01004], judging [08199] the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 12 15 6 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Azariah [05838], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 15 7 So Azariah [05838] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and they buried [06912] him with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Jotham [03147] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 15 8 In the thirty [07970] [08141] and eighth [08083] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did Zachariah [02148] the son [01121] of Jeroboam [03379] reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111] six [08337] months [02320]. 12 15 9 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], as his fathers [01] had done [06213]: he departed [05493] not from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 15 10 And Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Jabesh [03003] conspired [07194] against him, and smote [05221] him before [06905] the people [05971], and slew [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 15 11 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Zachariah [02148], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 15 12 This was the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which he spake [01696] unto Jehu [03058], saying [0559], Thy sons [01121] shall sit [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478] unto the fourth [07243] generation. And so it came to pass. 12 15 13 Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Jabesh [03003] began to reign [04427] in the nine [08672] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; and he reigned [04427] a full [03117] month [03391] in Samaria [08111]. 12 15 14 For Menahem [04505] the son [01121] of Gadi [01424] went up [05927] from Tirzah [08656], and came [0935] to Samaria [08111], and smote [05221] Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Jabesh [03003] in Samaria [08111], and slew [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 15 15 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Shallum [07967], and his conspiracy [07195] which he made [07194], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 15 16 Then Menahem [04505] smote [05221] Tiphsah [08607], and all that were therein, and the coasts [01366] thereof from Tirzah [08656]: because they opened [06605] not to him, therefore he smote [05221] it; and all the women therein that were with child [02030] he ripped up [01234]. 12 15 17 In the nine [08672] [08141] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Menahem [04505] the son [01121] of Gadi [01424] to reign [04427] over Israel [03478], and reigned ten [06235] years [08141] in Samaria [08111]. 12 15 18 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he departed [05493] not all his days [03117] from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 15 19 And Pul [06322] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935] against the land [0776]: and Menahem [04505] gave [05414] Pul [06322] a thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701], that his hand [03027] might be with him to confirm [02388] the kingdom [04467] in his hand [03027]. 12 15 20 And Menahem [04505] exacted [03318] the money [03701] of Israel [03478], even of all the mighty men [01368] of wealth [02428], of each [0259] man [0376] fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of silver [03701], to give [05414] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. So the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] turned back [07725], and stayed [05975] not there in the land [0776]. 12 15 21 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Menahem [04505], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]? 12 15 22 And Menahem [04505] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]; and Pekahiah [06494] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 15 23 In the fiftieth [02572] [08141] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] Pekahiah [06494] the son [01121] of Menahem [04505] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111], and reigned two years [08141]. 12 15 24 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he departed [05493] not from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 15 25 But Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425], a captain [07991] of his, conspired [07194] against him, and smote [05221] him in Samaria [08111], in the palace [0759] of the king's [04428] house [01004], with Argob [0709] and Arieh [0745], and with him fifty [02572] men [0376] of the Gileadites [01121] [01569]: and he killed [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his room. 12 15 26 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Pekahiah [06494], and all that he did [06213], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 15 27 In the two [08147] [08141] and fiftieth [02572] year [08141] of Azariah [05838] king [04428] of Judah [03063] Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] began to reign [04427] over Israel [03478] in Samaria [08111], and reigned twenty [06242] years [08141]. 12 15 28 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he departed [05493] not from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398]. 12 15 29 In the days [03117] of Pekah [06492] king [04428] of Israel [03478] came [0935] Tiglathpileser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and took [03947] Ijon [05859], and Abelbethmaachah [062], and Janoah [03239], and Kedesh [06943], and Hazor [02674], and Gilead [01568], and Galilee [01551], all the land [0776] of Naphtali [05321], and carried them captive [01540] to Assyria [0804]. 12 15 30 And Hoshea [01954] the son [01121] of Elah [0425] made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425], and smote [05221] him, and slew [04191] him, and reigned [04427] in his stead, in the twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Jotham [03147] the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818]. 12 15 31 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Pekah [06492], and all that he did [06213], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 12 15 32 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] king [04428] of Israel [03478] began Jotham [03147] the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063] to reign [04427]. 12 15 33 Five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jerusha [03388], the daughter [01323] of Zadok [06659]. 12 15 34 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he did [06213] according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] had done [06213]. 12 15 35 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not removed [05493]: the people [05971] sacrificed [02076] and burned incense [06999] still in the high places [01116]. He built [01129] the higher [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 15 36 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jotham [03147], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 15 37 In those days [03117] the LORD [03068] began [02490] to send [07971] against Judah [03063] Rezin [07526] the king [04428] of Syria [0758], and Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425]. 12 15 38 And Jotham [03147] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]: and Ahaz [0271] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 16 1 In the seventeenth [07651] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] Ahaz [0271] the son [01121] of Jotham [03147] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427]. 12 16 2 Twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] was Ahaz [0271] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389], and did [06213] not that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430], like David [01732] his father [01]. 12 16 3 But he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], yea, and made his son [01121] to pass through [05674] the fire [0784], according to the abominations [08441] of the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 12 16 4 And he sacrificed [02076] and burnt incense [06999] in the high places [01116], and on the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]. 12 16 5 Then Rezin [07526] king [04428] of Syria [0758] and Pekah [06492] son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] king [04428] of Israel [03478] came up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389] to war [04421]: and they besieged [06696] Ahaz [0271], but could [03201] not overcome [03898] him. 12 16 6 At that time [06256] Rezin [07526] king [04428] of Syria [0758] recovered [07725] Elath [0359] to Syria [0758] [0130], and drave [05394] the Jews [03064] from Elath [0359]: and the Syrians [0726] came [0935] to Elath [0359], and dwelt [03427] there unto this day [03117]. 12 16 7 So Ahaz [0271] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Tiglathpileser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], saying [0559], I am thy servant [05650] and thy son [01121]: come up [05927], and save [03467] me out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758], and out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Israel [03478], which rise up [06965] against me. 12 16 8 And Ahaz [0271] took [03947] the silver [03701] and gold [02091] that was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and sent [07971] it for a present [07810] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 12 16 9 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] hearkened [08085] unto him: for the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] went up [05927] against Damascus [01834], and took [08610] it, and carried the people of it captive [01540] to Kir [07024], and slew [04191] Rezin [07526]. 12 16 10 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] went [03212] to Damascus [01834] to meet [07125] Tiglathpileser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and saw [07200] an altar [04196] that was at Damascus [01834]: and king [04428] Ahaz [0271] sent [07971] to Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] the fashion [01823] of the altar [04196], and the pattern [08403] of it, according to all the workmanship [04639] thereof. 12 16 11 And Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] built [01129] an altar [04196] according to all that king [04428] Ahaz [0271] had sent [07971] from Damascus [01834]: so Urijah [0223] the priest [03548] made [06213] it against king [04428] Ahaz [0271] came [0935] from Damascus [01834]. 12 16 12 And when the king [04428] was come [0935] from Damascus [01834], the king [04428] saw [07200] the altar [04196]: and the king [04428] approached [07126] to the altar [04196], and offered [05927] thereon. 12 16 13 And he burnt [06999] his burnt offering [05930] and his meat offering [04503], and poured [05258] his drink offering [05262], and sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] of his peace offerings [08002], upon the altar [04196]. 12 16 14 And he brought [07126] also the brasen [05178] altar [04196], which was before [06440] the LORD [03068], from the forefront [06440] of the house [01004], from between the altar [04196] and the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and put [05414] it on the north [06828] side [03409] of the altar [04196]. 12 16 15 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] commanded [06680] Urijah [0223] the priest [03548], saying [0559], Upon the great [01419] altar [04196] burn [06999] the morning [01242] burnt offering [05930], and the evening [06153] meat offering [04503], and the king's [04428] burnt sacrifice [05930], and his meat offering [04503], with the burnt offering [05930] of all the people [05971] of the land [0776], and their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262]; and sprinkle [02236] upon it all the blood [01818] of the burnt offering [05930], and all the blood [01818] of the sacrifice [02077]: and the brasen [05178] altar [04196] shall be for me to enquire [01239] by. 12 16 16 Thus did [06213] Urijah [0223] the priest [03548], according to all that king [04428] Ahaz [0271] commanded [06680]. 12 16 17 And king [04428] Ahaz [0271] cut off [07112] the borders [04526] of the bases [04350], and removed [05493] the laver [03595] from off them; and took down [03381] the sea [03220] from off the brasen [05178] oxen [01241] that were under it, and put [05414] it upon a pavement [04837] of stones [068]. 12 16 18 And the covert [04329] [04329] for the sabbath [07676] that they had built [01129] in the house [01004], and the king's [04428] entry [03996] without [02435], turned [05437] he from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] for [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 12 16 19 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Ahaz [0271] which he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 16 20 And Ahaz [0271] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Hezekiah [02396] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 17 1 In the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141] of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began Hoshea [01954] the son [01121] of Elah [0425] to reign [04427] in Samaria [08111] over Israel [03478] nine [08672] years [08141]. 12 17 2 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], but not as the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] that were before [06440] him. 12 17 3 Against him came up [05927] Shalmaneser [08022] king [04428] of Assyria [0804]; and Hoshea [01954] became his servant [05650], and gave [07725] him presents [04503]. 12 17 4 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] found [04672] conspiracy [07195] in Hoshea [01954]: for he had sent [07971] messengers [04397] to So [05471] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and brought [05927] no present [04503] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], as he had done year [08141] by year [08141]: therefore the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] shut him up [06113], and bound [0631] him in prison [01004] [03608]. 12 17 5 Then the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came up [05927] throughout all the land [0776], and went up [05927] to Samaria [08111], and besieged [06696] it three [07969] years [08141]. 12 17 6 In the ninth [08671] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] took [03920] Samaria [08111], and carried [01540] Israel [03478] away [01540] into Assyria [0804], and placed [03427] them in Halah [02477] and in Habor [02249] by the river [05104] of Gozan [01470], and in the cities [05892] of the Medes [04074]. 12 17 7 For so it was, that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] had sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], which had brought them up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from under the hand [03027] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and had feared [03372] other [0312] gods [0430], 12 17 8 And walked [03212] in the statutes [02708] of the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] from before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], which they had made [06213]. 12 17 9 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did secretly [02644] those things [01697] that were not right against the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and they built [01129] them high places [01116] in all their cities [05892], from the tower [04026] of the watchmen [05341] to the fenced [04013] city [05892]. 12 17 10 And they set them up [05324] images [04676] and groves [0842] in every high [01364] hill [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]: 12 17 11 And there they burnt incense [06999] in all the high places [01116], as did the heathen [01471] whom the LORD [03068] carried away [01540] before [06440] them; and wrought [06213] wicked [07451] things [01697] to provoke the LORD [03068] to anger [03707]: 12 17 12 For they served [05647] idols [01544], whereof the LORD [03068] had said [0559] unto them, Ye shall not do [06213] this thing [01697]. 12 17 13 Yet the LORD [03068] testified [05749] against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], by [03027] all the prophets [05030], and by all the seers [02374], saying [0559], Turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870], and keep [08104] my commandments [04687] and my statutes [02708], according to all the law [08451] which I commanded [06680] your fathers [01], and which I sent [07971] to you by [03027] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. 12 17 14 Notwithstanding they would not hear [08085], but hardened [07185] their necks [06203], like to the neck [06203] of their fathers [01], that did not believe [0539] in the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 12 17 15 And they rejected [03988] his statutes [02706], and his covenant [01285] that he made [03772] with their fathers [01], and his testimonies [05715] which he testified [05749] against them; and they followed [03212] [0310] vanity [01892], and became vain [01891], and went after [0310] the heathen [01471] that were round about [05439] them, concerning whom the LORD [03068] had charged [06680] them, that they should not do [06213] like them. 12 17 16 And they left [05800] all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and made [06213] them molten images [04541], even two [08147] calves [05695], and made [06213] a grove [0842], and worshipped [07812] all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and served [05647] Baal [01168]. 12 17 17 And they caused their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] to pass [05674] through the fire [0784], and used [07080] divination [07081] and enchantments [05172], and sold [04376] themselves to do [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707]. 12 17 18 Therefore the LORD [03068] was very [03966] angry [0599] with Israel [03478], and removed [05493] them out of his sight [06440]: there was none left [07604] but the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063] only. 12 17 19 Also Judah [03063] kept [08104] not the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], but walked [03212] in the statutes [02708] of Israel [03478] which they made [06213]. 12 17 20 And the LORD [03068] rejected [03988] all the seed [02233] of Israel [03478], and afflicted [06031] them, and delivered [05414] them into the hand [03027] of spoilers [08154], until he had cast [07993] them out of his sight [06440]. 12 17 21 For he rent [07167] Israel [03478] from the house [01004] of David [01732]; and they made Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028] king [04427]: and Jeroboam [03379] drave [05080] [05077] Israel [03478] from following [0310] the LORD [03068], and made them sin [02398] a great [01419] sin [02401]. 12 17 22 For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] walked [03212] in all the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] which he did [06213]; they departed [05493] not from them; 12 17 23 Until the LORD [03068] removed [05493] Israel [03478] out of his sight [06440], as he had said [01696] by [03027] all his servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. So was Israel [03478] carried away [01540] out of their own land [0127] to Assyria [0804] unto this day [03117]. 12 17 24 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] brought [0935] men from Babylon [0894], and from Cuthah [03575], and from Ava [05755], and from Hamath [02574], and from Sepharvaim [05617], and placed [03427] them in the cities [05892] of Samaria [08111] instead of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and they possessed [03423] Samaria [08111], and dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] thereof. 12 17 25 And so it was at the beginning [08462] of their dwelling [03427] there, that they feared [03372] not the LORD [03068]: therefore the LORD [03068] sent [07971] lions [0738] among them, which slew [02026] some of them. 12 17 26 Wherefore they spake [0559] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], saying [0559], The nations [01471] which thou hast removed [01540], and placed [03427] in the cities [05892] of Samaria [08111], know [03045] not the manner [04941] of the God [0430] of the land [0776]: therefore he hath sent [07971] lions [0738] among them, and, behold, they slay [04191] them, because they know [03045] not the manner [04941] of the God [0430] of the land [0776]. 12 17 27 Then the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] commanded [06680], saying [0559], Carry [03212] thither one [0259] of the priests [03548] whom ye brought [01540] from thence; and let them go [03212] and dwell [03427] there, and let him teach [03384] them the manner [04941] of the God [0430] of the land [0776]. 12 17 28 Then one [0259] of the priests [03548] whom they had carried away [01540] from Samaria [08111] came [0935] and dwelt [03427] in Bethel [01008], and taught [03384] them how they should fear [03372] the LORD [03068]. 12 17 29 Howbeit every nation [01471] made [06213] gods [0430] of their own, and put [03240] them in the houses [01004] of the high places [01116] which the Samaritans [08118] had made [06213], every nation [01471] in their cities [05892] wherein they dwelt [03427]. 12 17 30 And the men [0582] of Babylon [0894] made [06213] Succothbenoth [05524], and the men [0582] of Cuth [03575] made [06213] Nergal [05370], and the men [0582] of Hamath [02574] made [06213] Ashima [0807], 12 17 31 And the Avites [05757] made [06213] Nibhaz [05026] and Tartak [08662], and the Sepharvites [05616] burnt [08313] their children [01121] in fire [0784] to Adrammelech [0152] and Anammelech [06048], the gods [0430] of Sepharvaim [05617]. 12 17 32 So they feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and made [06213] unto themselves of the lowest [07098] of them priests [03548] of the high places [01116], which sacrificed [06213] for them in the houses [01004] of the high places [01116]. 12 17 33 They feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and served [05647] their own gods [0430], after the manner [04941] of the nations [01471] whom they carried away [01540] from thence. 12 17 34 Unto this day [03117] they do [06213] after the former [07223] manners [04941]: they fear [03373] not the LORD [03068], neither do [06213] they after their statutes [02708], or after their ordinances [04941], or after the law [08451] and commandment [04687] which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Jacob [03290], whom he named [07760] [08034] Israel [03478]; 12 17 35 With whom the LORD [03068] had made [03772] a covenant [01285], and charged [06680] them, saying [0559], Ye shall not fear [03372] other [0312] gods [0430], nor bow [07812] yourselves to them, nor serve [05647] them, nor sacrifice [02076] to them: 12 17 36 But the LORD [03068], who brought you up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] with great [01419] power [03581] and a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], him shall ye fear [03372], and him shall ye worship [07812], and to him shall ye do sacrifice [02076]. 12 17 37 And the statutes [02706], and the ordinances [04941], and the law [08451], and the commandment [04687], which he wrote [03789] for you, ye shall observe [08104] to do [06213] for evermore [03117]; and ye shall not fear [03372] other [0312] gods [0430]. 12 17 38 And the covenant [01285] that I have made [03772] with you ye shall not forget [07911]; neither shall ye fear [03372] other [0312] gods [0430]. 12 17 39 But the LORD [03068] your God [0430] ye shall fear [03372]; and he shall deliver [05337] you out of the hand [03027] of all your enemies [0341]. 12 17 40 Howbeit they did not hearken [08085], but they did [06213] after their former [07223] manner [04941]. 12 17 41 So these nations [01471] feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and served [05647] their graven images [06456], both their children [01121], and their children's [01121] children [01121]: as did [06213] their fathers [01], so do [06213] they unto this day [03117]. 12 18 1 Now it came to pass in the third [07969] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] son [01121] of Elah [0425] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that Hezekiah [02396] the son [01121] of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Judah [03063] began to reign [04427]. 12 18 2 Twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and nine [08672] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Abi [021], the daughter [01323] of Zachariah [02148]. 12 18 3 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that David [01732] his father [01] did [06213]. 12 18 4 He removed [05493] the high places [01116], and brake [07665] the images [04676], and cut down [03772] the groves [0842], and brake in pieces [03807] the brasen [05178] serpent [05175] that Moses [04872] had made [06213]: for unto those days [03117] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did burn incense [06999] to it: and he called [07121] it Nehushtan [05180]. 12 18 5 He trusted [0982] in the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]; so that after [0310] him was none like him among all the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], nor any that were before [06440] him. 12 18 6 For he clave [01692] to the LORD [03068], and departed [05493] not from following [0310] him, but kept [08104] his commandments [04687], which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872]. 12 18 7 And the LORD [03068] was with him; and he prospered [07919] whithersoever he went forth [03318]: and he rebelled [04775] against the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and served [05647] him not. 12 18 8 He smote [05221] the Philistines [06430], even unto Gaza [05804], and the borders [01366] thereof, from the tower [04026] of the watchmen [05341] to the fenced [04013] city [05892]. 12 18 9 And it came to pass in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of king [04428] Hezekiah [02396], which was the seventh [07637] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] son [01121] of Elah [0425] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that Shalmaneser [08022] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came up [05927] against Samaria [08111], and besieged [06696] it. 12 18 10 And at the end [07097] of three [07969] years [08141] they took [03920] it: even in the sixth [08337] year [08141] of Hezekiah [02396], that is the ninth [08672] year [08141] of Hoshea [01954] king [04428] of Israel [03478], Samaria [08111] was taken [03920]. 12 18 11 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] did carry away [01540] Israel [03478] unto Assyria [0804], and put [05148] them in Halah [02477] and in Habor [02249] by the river [05104] of Gozan [01470], and in the cities [05892] of the Medes [04074]: 12 18 12 Because they obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], but transgressed [05674] his covenant [01285], and all that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], and would not hear [08085] them, nor do [06213] them. 12 18 13 Now in the fourteenth [0702] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] did Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] come up [05927] against all the fenced [01219] cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and took [08610] them. 12 18 14 And Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] sent [07971] to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] to Lachish [03923], saying [0559], I have offended [02398]; return [07725] from me: that which thou puttest [05414] on me will I bear [05375]. And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] appointed [07760] unto Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] three [07969] hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701] and thirty [07970] talents [03603] of gold [02091]. 12 18 15 And Hezekiah [02396] gave [05414] him all the silver [03701] that was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004]. 12 18 16 At that time [06256] did Hezekiah [02396] cut off [07112] the gold from the doors [01817] of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], and from the pillars [0547] which Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had overlaid [06823], and gave [05414] it to the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 12 18 17 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] sent [07971] Tartan [08661] and Rabsaris [07249] and Rabshakeh [07262] from Lachish [03923] to king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] with a great [03515] host [02426] against Jerusalem [03389]. And they went up [05927] and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. And when they were come up [05927], they came [0935] and stood [05975] by the conduit [08585] of the upper [05945] pool [01295], which is in the highway [04546] of the fuller's [03526] field [07704]. 12 18 18 And when they had called [07121] to the king [04428], there came out [03318] to them Eliakim [0471] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], which was over the household [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and Joah [03098] the son [01121] of Asaph [0623] the recorder [02142]. 12 18 19 And Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559] unto them, Speak [0559] ye now to Hezekiah [02396], Thus saith [0559] the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], What confidence [0986] is this wherein thou trustest [0982]? 12 18 20 Thou sayest [0559], (but they are but vain [08193] words [01697],) I have counsel [06098] and strength [01369] for the war [04421]. Now on whom dost thou trust [0982], that thou rebellest [04775] against me? 12 18 21 Now, behold, thou trustest [0982] upon the staff [04938] of this bruised [07533] reed [07070], even upon Egypt [04714], on which if a man [0376] lean [05564], it will go [0935] into his hand [03709], and pierce [05344] it: so is Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] unto all that trust [0982] on him. 12 18 22 But if ye say [0559] unto me, We trust [0982] in the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: is not that he, whose high places [01116] and whose altars [04196] Hezekiah [02396] hath taken away [05493], and hath said [0559] to Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], Ye shall worship [07812] before [06440] this altar [04196] in Jerusalem [03389]? 12 18 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges [06148] to my lord [0113] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and I will deliver [05414] thee two thousand [0505] horses [05483], if thou be able [03201] on thy part to set [05414] riders [07392] upon them. 12 18 24 How then wilt thou turn away [07725] the face [06440] of one [0259] captain [06346] of the least [06996] of my master's [0113] servants [05650], and put thy trust [0982] on Egypt [04714] for chariots [07393] and for horsemen [06571]? 12 18 25 Am I now come up [05927] without [01107] the LORD [03068] against this place [04725] to destroy [07843] it? The LORD [03068] said [0559] to me, Go up [05927] against this land [0776], and destroy [07843] it. 12 18 26 Then said [0559] Eliakim [0471] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], and Shebna [07644], and Joah [03098], unto Rabshakeh [07262], Speak [01696], I pray thee, to thy servants [05650] in the Syrian language [0762]; for we understand [08085] it: and talk [01696] not with us in the Jews' language [03066] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971] that are on the wall [02346]. 12 18 27 But Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559] unto them, Hath my master [0113] sent [07971] me to thy master [0113], and to thee, to speak [01696] these words [01697]? hath he not sent me to the men [0582] which sit [03427] on the wall [02346], that they may eat [0398] their own dung [06675] [02755], and drink [08354] their own piss [04325] [07272] [07890] with you? 12 18 28 Then Rabshakeh [07262] stood [05975] and cried [07121] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] in the Jews' language [03066], and spake [01696], saying [0559], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: 12 18 29 Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Let not Hezekiah [02396] deceive [05377] you: for he shall not be able [03201] to deliver [05337] you out of his hand [03027]: 12 18 30 Neither let Hezekiah [02396] make you trust [0982] in the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] will surely [05337] deliver [05337] us, and this city [05892] shall not be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 12 18 31 Hearken [08085] not to Hezekiah [02396]: for thus saith [0559] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], Make [06213] an agreement with me by a present [01293], and come out [03318] to me, and then eat [0398] ye every man [0376] of his own vine [01612], and every one [0376] of his fig tree [08384], and drink [08354] ye every one [0376] the waters [04325] of his cistern [0953]: 12 18 32 Until I come [0935] and take you away [03947] to a land [0776] like your own land [0776], a land [0776] of corn [01715] and wine [08492], a land [0776] of bread [03899] and vineyards [03754], a land [0776] of oil [03323] olive [02132] and of honey [01706], that ye may live [02421], and not die [04191]: and hearken [08085] not unto Hezekiah [02396], when he persuadeth [05496] you, saying [0559], The LORD [03068] will deliver [05337] us. 12 18 33 Hath any [0376] of the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] delivered [05337] at all [05337] his land [0776] out of the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]? 12 18 34 Where are the gods [0430] of Hamath [02574], and of Arpad [0774]? where are the gods [0430] of Sepharvaim [05617], Hena [02012], and Ivah [05755]? have they delivered [05337] Samaria [08111] out of mine hand [03027]? 12 18 35 Who are they among all the gods [0430] of the countries [0776], that have delivered [05337] their country [0776] out of mine hand [03027], that the LORD [03068] should deliver [05337] Jerusalem [03389] out of mine hand [03027]? 12 18 36 But the people [05971] held their peace [02790], and answered [06030] him not a word [01697]: for the king's [04428] commandment [04687] was, saying [0559], Answer [06030] him not. 12 18 37 Then came [0935] Eliakim [0471] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], which was over the household [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and Joah [03098] the son [01121] of Asaph [0623] the recorder [02142], to Hezekiah [02396] with their clothes [0899] rent [07167], and told [05046] him the words [01697] of Rabshakeh [07262]. 12 19 1 And it came to pass, when king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] heard [08085] it, that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and covered [03680] himself with sackcloth [08242], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 19 2 And he sent [07971] Eliakim [0471], which was over the household [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and the elders [02205] of the priests [03548], covered [03680] with sackcloth [08242], to Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531]. 12 19 3 And they said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Hezekiah [02396], This day [03117] is a day [03117] of trouble [06869], and of rebuke [08433], and blasphemy [05007]: for the children [01121] are come [0935] to the birth [04866], and there is not strength [03581] to bring forth [03205]. 12 19 4 It may be [0194] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will hear [08085] all the words [01697] of Rabshakeh [07262], whom the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] his master [0113] hath sent [07971] to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430]; and will reprove [03198] the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath heard [08085]: wherefore lift up [05375] thy prayer [08605] for the remnant [07611] that are left [04672]. 12 19 5 So the servants [05650] of king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] came [0935] to Isaiah [03470]. 12 19 6 And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] to your master [0113], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the words [01697] which thou hast heard [08085], with which the servants [05288] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] have blasphemed [01442] me. 12 19 7 Behold, I will send [05414] a blast [07307] upon him, and he shall hear [08085] a rumour [08052], and shall return [07725] to his own land [0776]; and I will cause him to fall [05307] by the sword [02719] in his own land [0776]. 12 19 8 So Rabshakeh [07262] returned [07725], and found [04672] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] warring [03898] against Libnah [03841]: for he had heard [08085] that he was departed [05265] from Lachish [03923]. 12 19 9 And when he heard [08085] say [0559] of Tirhakah [08640] king [04428] of Ethiopia [03568], Behold, he is come out [03318] to fight [03898] against thee: he sent [07971] messengers [04397] again [07725] unto Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559], 12 19 10 Thus shall ye speak [0559] to Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Let not thy God [0430] in whom thou trustest [0982] deceive [05377] thee, saying [0559], Jerusalem [03389] shall not be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 12 19 11 Behold, thou hast heard [08085] what the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] have done [06213] to all lands [0776], by destroying them utterly [02763]: and shalt thou be delivered [05337]? 12 19 12 Have the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] delivered [05337] them which my fathers [01] have destroyed [07843]; as Gozan [01470], and Haran [02771], and Rezeph [07530], and the children [01121] of Eden [05729] which were in Thelasar [08515]? 12 19 13 Where is the king [04428] of Hamath [02574], and the king [04428] of Arpad [0774], and the king [04428] of the city [05892] of Sepharvaim [05617], of Hena [02012], and Ivah [05755]? 12 19 14 And Hezekiah [02396] received [03947] the letter [05612] of the hand [03027] of the messengers [04397], and read [07121] it: and Hezekiah [02396] went up [05927] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and spread [06566] it before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 12 19 15 And Hezekiah [02396] prayed [06419] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], which dwellest [03427] between the cherubims [03742], thou art the God [0430], even thou alone, of all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]; thou hast made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776]. 12 19 16 LORD [03068], bow down [05186] thine ear [0241], and hear [08085]: open [06491], LORD [03068], thine eyes [05869], and see [07200]: and hear [08085] the words [01697] of Sennacherib [05576], which hath sent [07971] him to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430]. 12 19 17 Of a truth [0551], LORD [03068], the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] have destroyed [02717] the nations [01471] and their lands [0776], 12 19 18 And have cast [05414] their gods [0430] into the fire [0784]: for they were no gods [0430], but the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027], wood [06086] and stone [068]: therefore they have destroyed [06] them. 12 19 19 Now therefore, O LORD [03068] our God [0430], I beseech thee, save [03467] thou us out of his hand [03027], that all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] that thou art the LORD [03068] God [0430], even thou only. 12 19 20 Then Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] sent [07971] to Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], That which thou hast prayed [06419] to me against Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] I have heard [08085]. 12 19 21 This is the word [01697] that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] concerning him; The virgin [01330] the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] hath despised [0959] thee, and laughed thee to scorn [03932]; the daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389] hath shaken [05128] her head [07218] at thee [0310]. 12 19 22 Whom hast thou reproached [02778] and blasphemed [01442]? and against whom hast thou exalted [07311] thy voice [06963], and lifted up [05375] thine eyes [05869] on high [04791]? even against the Holy [06918] One of Israel [03478]. 12 19 23 By [03027] thy messengers [04397] thou hast reproached [02778] the Lord [0136], and hast said [0559], With the multitude [07230] of my chariots [07393] [07393] I am come up [05927] to the height [04791] of the mountains [02022], to the sides [03411] of Lebanon [03844], and will cut down [03772] the tall [06967] cedar trees [0730] thereof, and the choice [04004] fir trees [01265] thereof: and I will enter [0935] into the lodgings [04411] of his borders [07093], and into the forest [03293] of his Carmel [03760]. 12 19 24 I have digged [06979] and drunk [08354] strange [02114] waters [04325], and with the sole [03709] of my feet [06471] have I dried [02717] up all the rivers [02975] of besieged places [04693]. 12 19 25 Hast thou not heard [08085] long ago [07350] how I have done [06213] it, and of ancient [06924] times [03117] that I have formed [03335] it? now have I brought [0935] it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste [07582] fenced [01219] cities [05892] into ruinous [05327] heaps [01530]. 12 19 26 Therefore their inhabitants [03427] were of small [07116] power [03027], they were dismayed [02865] and confounded [0954]; they were as the grass [06212] of the field [07704], and as the green [03419] herb [01877], as the grass [02682] on the housetops [01406], and as corn blasted [07711] before [06440] it be grown up [07054]. 12 19 27 But I know [03045] thy abode [03427], and thy going out [03318], and thy coming in [0935], and thy rage [07264] against me. 12 19 28 Because thy rage [07264] against me and thy tumult [07600] is come up [05927] into mine ears [0241], therefore I will put [07760] my hook [02397] in thy nose [0639], and my bridle [04964] in thy lips [08193], and I will turn thee back [07725] by the way [01870] by which thou camest [0935]. 12 19 29 And this shall be a sign [0226] unto thee, Ye shall eat [0398] this year [08141] such things as grow [05599] of themselves, and in the second [08145] year [08141] that which springeth [07823] of the same; and in the third [07992] year [08141] sow [02232] ye, and reap [07114], and plant [05193] vineyards [03754], and eat [0398] the fruits [06529] thereof. 12 19 30 And the remnant [07604] that is escaped [06413] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063] shall yet again [03254] take root [08328] downward [04295], and bear [06213] fruit [06529] upward [04605]. 12 19 31 For out of Jerusalem [03389] shall go forth [03318] a remnant [07611], and they that escape [06413] out of mount [02022] Zion [06726]: the zeal [07068] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall do [06213] this. 12 19 32 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], He shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], nor shoot [03384] an arrow [02671] there, nor come before [06923] it with shield [04043], nor cast [08210] a bank [05550] against it. 12 19 33 By the way [01870] that he came [0935], by the same shall he return [07725], and shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 12 19 34 For I will defend [01598] this city [05892], to save [03467] it, for mine own sake, and for my servant [05650] David's [01732] sake. 12 19 35 And it came to pass that night [03915], that the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] went out [03318], and smote [05221] in the camp [04264] of the Assyrians [0804] an hundred [03967] fourscore [08084] and five [02568] thousand [0505]: and when they arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], behold, they were all dead [04191] corpses [06297]. 12 19 36 So Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] departed [05265], and went [03212] and returned [07725], and dwelt [03427] at Nineveh [05210]. 12 19 37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping [07812] in the house [01004] of Nisroch [05268] his god [0430], that Adrammelech [0152] and Sharezer [08272] his sons [01121] smote [05221] him with the sword [02719]: and they escaped [04422] into the land [0776] of Armenia [0780]. And Esarhaddon [0634] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 20 1 In those days [03117] was Hezekiah [02396] sick [02470] unto death [04191]. And the prophet [05030] Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] came [0935] to him, and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Set thine house [01004] in order [06680]; for thou shalt die [04191], and not live [02421]. 12 20 2 Then he turned [05437] his face [06440] to the wall [07023], and prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 12 20 3 I beseech [0577] thee, O LORD [03068], remember [02142] now how I have walked [01980] before [06440] thee in truth [0571] and with a perfect [08003] heart [03824], and have done [06213] that which is good [02896] in thy sight [05869]. And Hezekiah [02396] wept [01058] [01065] sore [01419]. 12 20 4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah [03470] was gone out [03318] into the middle [08484] court [02691] [05892], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to him, saying [0559], 12 20 5 Turn again [07725], and tell [0559] Hezekiah [02396] the captain [05057] of my people [05971], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of David [01732] thy father [01], I have heard [08085] thy prayer [08605], I have seen [07200] thy tears [01832]: behold, I will heal [07495] thee: on the third [07992] day [03117] thou shalt go up [05927] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 20 6 And I will add [03254] unto thy days [03117] fifteen [02568] [06240] years [08141]; and I will deliver [05337] thee and this city [05892] out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]; and I will defend [01598] this city [05892] for mine own sake, and for my servant [05650] David's [01732] sake. 12 20 7 And Isaiah [03470] said [0559], Take [03947] a lump [01690] of figs [08384]. And they took [03947] and laid [07760] it on the boil [07822], and he recovered [02421]. 12 20 8 And Hezekiah [02396] said [0559] unto Isaiah [03470], What shall be the sign [0226] that the LORD [03068] will heal [07495] me, and that I shall go up [05927] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] the third [07992] day [03117]? 12 20 9 And Isaiah [03470] said [0559], This sign [0226] shalt thou have of the LORD [03068], that the LORD [03068] will do [06213] the thing [01697] that he hath spoken [01696]: shall the shadow [06738] go forward [01980] ten [06235] degrees [04609], or go back [07725] ten [06235] degrees [04609]? 12 20 10 And Hezekiah [03169] answered [0559], It is a light thing [07043] for the shadow [06738] to go down [05186] ten [06235] degrees [04609]: nay, but let the shadow [06738] return [07725] backward [0322] ten [06235] degrees [04609]. 12 20 11 And Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068]: and he brought [07725] the shadow [06738] ten [06235] degrees [04609] backward [0322], by [04609] which it had gone down [03381] in the dial [04609] of Ahaz [0271]. 12 20 12 At that time [06256] Berodachbaladan [01255], the son [01121] of Baladan [01081], king [04428] of Babylon [0894], sent [07971] letters [05612] and a present [04503] unto Hezekiah [02396]: for he had heard [08085] that Hezekiah [02396] had been sick [02470]. 12 20 13 And Hezekiah [02396] hearkened [08085] unto them, and shewed [07200] them all the house [01004] of his precious things [05238], the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the spices [01314], and the precious [02896] ointment [08081], and all the house [01004] of his armour [03627], and all that was found [04672] in his treasures [0214]: there was nothing [01697] in his house [01004], nor in all his dominion [04475], that Hezekiah [02396] shewed [07200] them not. 12 20 14 Then came [0935] Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] unto king [04428] Hezekiah [02396], and said [0559] unto him, What said [0559] these men [0582]? and from whence [0370] came [0935] they unto thee? And Hezekiah [02396] said [0559], They are come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776], even from Babylon [0894]. 12 20 15 And he said [0559], What have they seen [07200] in thine house [01004]? And Hezekiah [02396] answered [0559], All the things that are in mine house [01004] have they seen [07200]: there is nothing [01697] among my treasures [0214] that I have not shewed [07200] them. 12 20 16 And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto Hezekiah [02396], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 12 20 17 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], that all that is in thine house [01004], and that which thy fathers [01] have laid up in store [0686] unto this day [03117], shall be carried [05375] into Babylon [0894]: nothing [01697] shall be left [03498], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 12 20 18 And of thy sons [01121] that shall issue [03318] from thee, which thou shalt beget [03205], shall they take away [03947]; and they shall be eunuchs [05631] in the palace [01964] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 12 20 19 Then said [0559] Hezekiah [02396] unto Isaiah [03470], Good [02896] is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which thou hast spoken [01696]. And he said [0559], Is it not good, if peace [07965] and truth [0571] be in my days [03117]? 12 20 20 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Hezekiah [02396], and all his might [01369], and how he made [06213] a pool [01295], and a conduit [08585], and brought [0935] water [04325] into the city [05892], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 20 21 And Hezekiah [02396] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]: and Manasseh [04519] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 21 1 Manasseh [04519] was twelve [08147] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] fifty [02572] and five [02568] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hephzibah [02657]. 12 21 2 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], after the abominations [08441] of the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 12 21 3 For he built up [01129] again [07725] the high places [01116] which Hezekiah [02396] his father [01] had destroyed [06]; and he reared up [06965] altars [04196] for Baal [01168], and made [06213] a grove [0842], as did [06213] Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478]; and worshipped [07812] all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and served [05647] them. 12 21 4 And he built [01129] altars [04196] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], of which the LORD [03068] said [0559], In Jerusalem [03389] will I put [07760] my name [08034]. 12 21 5 And he built [01129] altars [04196] for all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] in the two [08147] courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 21 6 And he made his son [01121] pass [05674] through the fire [0784], and observed times [06049], and used enchantments [05172], and dealt [06213] with familiar spirits [0178] and wizards [03049]: he wrought [06213] much [07235] wickedness [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707]. 12 21 7 And he set [07760] a graven image [06459] of the grove [0842] that he had made [06213] in the house [01004], of which the LORD [03068] said [0559] to David [01732], and to Solomon [08010] his son [01121], In this house [01004], and in Jerusalem [03389], which I have chosen [0977] out of all tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], will I put [07760] my name [08034] for ever [05769]: 12 21 8 Neither will I make the feet [07272] of Israel [03478] move [05110] any more [03254] out of the land [0127] which I gave [05414] their fathers [01]; only if they will observe [08104] to do [06213] according to all that I have commanded [06680] them, and according to all the law [08451] that my servant [05650] Moses [04872] commanded [06680] them. 12 21 9 But they hearkened [08085] not: and Manasseh [04519] seduced [08582] them to do [06213] more evil [07451] than did the nations [01471] whom the LORD [03068] destroyed [08045] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 12 21 10 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030], saying [0559], 12 21 11 Because Manasseh [04519] king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath done [06213] these abominations [08441], and hath done wickedly [07489] above all that the Amorites [0567] did [06213], which were before [06440] him, and hath made Judah [03063] also to sin [02398] with his idols [01544]: 12 21 12 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Behold, I am bringing [0935] such evil [07451] upon Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], that whosoever heareth [08085] of it, both [08147] his ears [0241] shall tingle [06750]. 12 21 13 And I will stretch [05186] over Jerusalem [03389] the line [06957] of Samaria [08111], and the plummet [04949] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: and I will wipe [04229] Jerusalem [03389] as a man wipeth [04229] a dish [06747], wiping [04229] it, and turning [02015] it upside down [06440]. 12 21 14 And I will forsake [05203] the remnant [07611] of mine inheritance [05159], and deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341]; and they shall become a prey [0957] and a spoil [04933] to all their enemies [0341]; 12 21 15 Because they have done [06213] that which was evil [07451] in my sight [05869], and have provoked [04480] me to anger [03707], since the day [03117] their fathers [01] came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714], even unto this day [03117]. 12 21 16 Moreover Manasseh [04519] shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] very [03966] much [07235], till he had filled [04390] Jerusalem [03389] from one end [06310] to another [06310]; beside his sin [02403] wherewith he made Judah [03063] to sin [02398], in doing [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 12 21 17 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Manasseh [04519], and all that he did [06213], and his sin [02403] that he sinned [02398], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 21 18 And Manasseh [04519] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in the garden [01588] of his own house [01004], in the garden [01588] of Uzza [05798]: and Amon [0526] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 21 19 Amon [0526] was twenty [06242] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] two [08147] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Meshullemeth [04922], the daughter [01323] of Haruz [02743] of Jotbah [03192]. 12 21 20 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], as his father [01] Manasseh [04519] did [06213]. 12 21 21 And he walked [03212] in all the way [01870] that his father [01] walked in [01980], and served [05647] the idols [01544] that his father [01] served [05647], and worshipped [07812] them: 12 21 22 And he forsook [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of his fathers [01], and walked [01980] not in the way [01870] of the LORD [03068]. 12 21 23 And the servants [05650] of Amon [0526] conspired [07194] against him, and slew [04191] the king [04428] in his own house [01004]. 12 21 24 And the people [05971] of the land [0776] slew [05221] all them that had conspired [07194] against king [04428] Amon [0526]; and the people [05971] of the land [0776] made Josiah [02977] his son [01121] king [04427] in his stead. 12 21 25 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Amon [0526] which he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 21 26 And he was buried [06912] in his sepulchre [06900] in the garden [01588] of Uzza [05798]: and Josiah [02977] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 22 1 Josiah [02977] was eight [08083] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] thirty [07970] and one [0259] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jedidah [03040], the daughter [01323] of Adaiah [05718] of Boscath [01218]. 12 22 2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and walked [03212] in all the way [01870] of David [01732] his father [01], and turned not aside [05493] to the right hand [03225] or to the left [08040]. 12 22 3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Josiah [02977], that the king [04428] sent [07971] Shaphan [08227] the son [01121] of Azaliah [0683], the son [01121] of Meshullam [04918], the scribe [05608], to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 12 22 4 Go up [05927] to Hilkiah [02518] the high [01419] priest [03548], that he may sum [08552] the silver [03701] which is brought [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], which the keepers [08104] of the door [05592] have gathered [0622] of the people [05971]: 12 22 5 And let them deliver [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the doers [06213] of the work [04399], that have the oversight [06485] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and let them give [05414] it to the doers [06213] of the work [04399] which is in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to repair [02388] the breaches [0919] of the house [01004], 12 22 6 Unto carpenters [02796], and builders [01129], and masons [01443], and to buy [07069] timber [06086] and hewn [04274] stone [068] to repair [02388] the house [01004]. 12 22 7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made [02803] with them of the money [03701] that was delivered [05414] into their hand [03027], because they dealt [06213] faithfully [0530]. 12 22 8 And Hilkiah [02518] the high [01419] priest [03548] said [0559] unto Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], I have found [04672] the book [05612] of the law [08451] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And Hilkiah [02518] gave [05414] the book [05612] to Shaphan [08227], and he read [07121] it. 12 22 9 And Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608] came [0935] to the king [04428], and brought [07725] the king [04428] word [01697] again [07725], and said [0559], Thy servants [05650] have gathered [05413] the money [03701] that was found [04672] in the house [01004], and have delivered [05414] it into the hand [03027] of them that do [06213] the work [04399], that have the oversight [06485] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 22 10 And Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608] shewed [05046] the king [04428], saying [0559], Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548] hath delivered [05414] me a book [05612]. And Shaphan [08227] read [07121] it before [06440] the king [04428]. 12 22 11 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] had heard [08085] the words [01697] of the book [05612] of the law [08451], that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899]. 12 22 12 And the king [04428] commanded [06680] Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548], and Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Achbor [05907] the son [01121] of Michaiah [04320], and Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], and Asahiah [06222] a servant [05650] of the king's [04428], saying [0559], 12 22 13 Go [03212] ye, enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068] for me, and for the people [05971], and for all Judah [03063], concerning the words [01697] of this book [05612] that is found [04672]: for great [01419] is the wrath [02534] of the LORD [03068] that is kindled [03341] against us, because our fathers [01] have not hearkened [08085] unto the words [01697] of this book [05612], to do [06213] according unto all that which is written [03789] concerning us. 12 22 14 So Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548], and Ahikam [0296], and Achbor [05907], and Shaphan [08227], and Asahiah [06222], went [03212] unto Huldah [02468] the prophetess [05031], the wife [0802] of Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Tikvah [08616], the son [01121] of Harhas [02745], keeper [08104] of the wardrobe [0899]; (now she dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] in the college [04932];) and they communed [01696] with her. 12 22 15 And she said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Tell [0559] the man [0376] that sent [07971] you to me, 12 22 16 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon this place [04725], and upon the inhabitants [03427] thereof, even all the words [01697] of the book [05612] which the king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath read [07121]: 12 22 17 Because they have forsaken [05800] me, and have burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], that they might provoke me to anger [03707] with all the works [04639] of their hands [03027]; therefore my wrath [02534] shall be kindled [03341] against this place [04725], and shall not be quenched [03518]. 12 22 18 But to the king [04428] of Judah [03063] which sent [07971] you to enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068], thus shall ye say [0559] to him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], As touching the words [01697] which thou hast heard [08085]; 12 22 19 Because thine heart [03824] was tender [07401], and thou hast humbled [03665] thyself before [06440] the LORD [03068], when thou heardest [08085] what I spake [01696] against this place [04725], and against the inhabitants [03427] thereof, that they should become a desolation [08047] and a curse [07045], and hast rent [07167] thy clothes [0899], and wept [01058] before [06440] me; I also have heard [08085] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 12 22 20 Behold therefore, I will gather [0622] thee unto thy fathers [01], and thou shalt be gathered [0622] into thy grave [06913] in peace [07965]; and thine eyes [05869] shall not see [07200] all the evil [07451] which I will bring [0935] upon this place [04725]. And they brought [07725] the king [04428] word [01697] again [07725]. 12 23 1 And the king [04428] sent [07971], and they gathered [0622] unto him all the elders [02205] of Judah [03063] and of Jerusalem [03389]. 12 23 2 And the king [04428] went up [05927] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and all the men [0376] of Judah [03063] and all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] with him, and the priests [03548], and the prophets [05030], and all the people [05971], both small [06996] and great [01419]: and he read [07121] in their ears [0241] all the words [01697] of the book [05612] of the covenant [01285] which was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 23 3 And the king [04428] stood [05975] by a pillar [05982], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his testimonies [05715] and his statutes [02708] with all their heart [03820] and all their soul [05315], to perform [06965] the words [01697] of this covenant [01285] that were written [03789] in this book [05612]. And all the people [05971] stood [05975] to the covenant [01285]. 12 23 4 And the king [04428] commanded [06680] Hilkiah [02518] the high [01419] priest [03548], and the priests [03548] of the second order [04932], and the keepers [08104] of the door [05592], to bring forth [03318] out of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] all the vessels [03627] that were made [06213] for Baal [01168], and for the grove [0842], and for all the host [06635] of heaven [08064]: and he burned [08313] them without [02351] Jerusalem [03389] in the fields [07709] of Kidron [06939], and carried [05375] the ashes [06083] of them unto Bethel [01008]. 12 23 5 And he put down [07673] the idolatrous priests [03649], whom the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] had ordained [05414] to burn incense [06999] in the high places [01116] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the places round about [04524] Jerusalem [03389]; them also that burned incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], to the sun [08121], and to the moon [03394], and to the planets [04208], and to all the host [06635] of heaven [08064]. 12 23 6 And he brought out [03318] the grove [0842] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], without [02351] Jerusalem [03389], unto the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and burned [08313] it at the brook [05158] Kidron [06939], and stamped it small [01854] to powder [06083], and cast [07993] the powder [06083] thereof upon the graves [06913] of the children [01121] of the people [05971]. 12 23 7 And he brake down [05422] the houses [01004] of the sodomites [06945], that were by the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], where the women [0802] wove [0707] hangings [01004] for the grove [0842]. 12 23 8 And he brought [0935] all the priests [03548] out of the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and defiled [02930] the high places [01116] where the priests [03548] had burned incense [06999], from Geba [01387] to Beersheba [0884], and brake down [05422] the high places [01116] of the gates [08179] that were in the entering in [06607] of the gate [08179] of Joshua [03091] the governor [08269] of the city [05892], which were on a man's [0376] left hand [08040] at the gate [08179] of the city [05892]. 12 23 9 Nevertheless the priests [03548] of the high places [01116] came not up [05927] to the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] in Jerusalem [03389], but they did eat [0398] of the unleavened bread [04682] among [08432] their brethren [0251]. 12 23 10 And he defiled [02930] Topheth [08612], which is in the valley [01516] of the children [01121] [01121] of Hinnom [02011], that no man [0376] might make his son [01121] or his daughter [01323] to pass through [05674] the fire [0784] to Molech [04432]. 12 23 11 And he took away [07673] the horses [05483] that the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] had given [05414] to the sun [08121], at the entering in [0935] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], by the chamber [03957] of Nathanmelech [05419] the chamberlain [05631], which was in the suburbs [06503], and burned [08313] the chariots [04818] of the sun [08121] with fire [0784]. 12 23 12 And the altars [04196] that were on the top [01406] of the upper chamber [05944] of Ahaz [0271], which the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] had made [06213], and the altars [04196] which Manasseh [04519] had made [06213] in the two [08147] courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], did the king [04428] beat down [05422], and brake them down [07323] from thence, and cast [07993] the dust [06083] of them into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939]. 12 23 13 And the high places [01116] that were before [06440] Jerusalem [03389], which were on the right hand [03225] of the mount [02022] of corruption [04889], which Solomon [08010] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] had builded [01129] for Ashtoreth [06253] the abomination [08251] of the Zidonians [06722], and for Chemosh [03645] the abomination [08251] of the Moabites [04124], and for Milcom [04445] the abomination [08441] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], did the king [04428] defile [02930]. 12 23 14 And he brake in pieces [07665] the images [04676], and cut down [03772] the groves [0842], and filled [04390] their places [04725] with the bones [06106] of men [0120]. 12 23 15 Moreover the altar [04196] that was at Bethel [01008], and the high place [01116] which Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398], had made [06213], both that altar [04196] and the high place [01116] he brake down [05422], and burned [08313] the high place [01116], and stamped [01854] it small to powder [06083], and burned [08313] the grove [0842]. 12 23 16 And as Josiah [02977] turned [06437] himself, he spied [07200] the sepulchres [06913] that were there in the mount [02022], and sent [07971], and took [03947] the bones [06106] out of the sepulchres [06913], and burned [08313] them upon the altar [04196], and polluted [02930] it, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which the man [0376] of God [0430] proclaimed [07121], who proclaimed [07121] these words [01697]. 12 23 17 Then he said [0559], What title [06725] is that [01975] that I see [07200]? And the men [0582] of the city [05892] told [0559] him, It is the sepulchre [06913] of the man [0376] of God [0430], which came [0935] from Judah [03063], and proclaimed [07121] these things [01697] that thou hast done [06213] against the altar [04196] of Bethel [01008]. 12 23 18 And he said [0559], Let him alone [03240]; let no man [0376] move [05128] his bones [06106]. So they let his bones [06106] alone [04422], with the bones [06106] of the prophet [05030] that came out [0935] of Samaria [08111]. 12 23 19 And all the houses [01004] also of the high places [01116] that were in the cities [05892] of Samaria [08111], which the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] had made [06213] to provoke the LORD to anger [03707], Josiah [02977] took away [05493], and did [06213] to them according to all the acts [04639] that he had done [06213] in Bethel [01008]. 12 23 20 And he slew [02076] all the priests [03548] of the high places [01116] that were there upon the altars [04196], and burned [08313] men's [0120] bones [06106] upon them, and returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 12 23 21 And the king [04428] commanded [06680] all the people [05971], saying [0559], Keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430], as it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of this covenant [01285]. 12 23 22 Surely there was not holden [06213] such a passover [06453] from the days [03117] of the judges [08199] that judged [08199] Israel [03478], nor in all the days [03117] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], nor of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]; 12 23 23 But in the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Josiah [02977], wherein this passover [06453] was holden [06213] to the LORD [03068] in Jerusalem [03389]. 12 23 24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits [0178], and the wizards [03049], and the images [08655], and the idols [01544], and all the abominations [08251] that were spied [07200] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063] and in Jerusalem [03389], did Josiah [02977] put away [01197], that he might perform [06965] the words [01697] of the law [08451] which were written [03789] in the book [05612] that Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548] found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 12 23 25 And like unto him was there no king [04428] before [06440] him, that turned [07725] to the LORD [03068] with all his heart [03824], and with all his soul [05315], and with all his might [03966], according to all the law [08451] of Moses [04872]; neither after [0310] him arose [06965] there any like him. 12 23 26 Notwithstanding the LORD [03068] turned [07725] not from the fierceness [02740] of his great [01419] wrath [0639], wherewith his anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Judah [03063], because of all the provocations [03708] that Manasseh [04519] had provoked [03707] him withal. 12 23 27 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I will remove [05493] Judah [03063] also out of my sight [06440], as I have removed [05493] Israel [03478], and will cast off [03988] this city [05892] Jerusalem [03389] which I have chosen [0977], and the house [01004] of which I said [0559], My name [08034] shall be there. 12 23 28 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Josiah [02977], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 23 29 In his days [03117] Pharaohnechoh [06549] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] went up [05927] against the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] to the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]: and king [04428] Josiah [02977] went [03212] against [07125] him; and he slew [04191] him at Megiddo [04023], when he had seen [07200] him. 12 23 30 And his servants [05650] carried him in a chariot [07392] dead [04191] from Megiddo [04023], and brought [0935] him to Jerusalem [03389], and buried [06912] him in his own sepulchre [06900]. And the people [05971] of the land [0776] took [03947] Jehoahaz [03059] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977], and anointed [04886] him, and made him king [04427] in his father's [01] stead. 12 23 31 Jehoahaz [03059] was twenty [06242] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] three [07969] months [02320] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hamutal [02537], the daughter [01323] of Jeremiah [03414] of Libnah [03841]. 12 23 32 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his fathers [01] had done [06213]. 12 23 33 And Pharaohnechoh [06549] put him in bands [0631] at Riblah [07247] in the land [0776] of Hamath [02574], that he might not reign [04427] in Jerusalem [03389]; and put [05414] the land [0776] to a tribute [06066] of an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and a talent [03603] of gold [02091]. 12 23 34 And Pharaohnechoh [06549] made Eliakim [0471] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04427] in the room of Josiah [02977] his father [01], and turned [05437] his name [08034] to Jehoiakim [03079], and took [03947] Jehoahaz [03059] away [03947]: and he came [0935] to Egypt [04714], and died [04191] there. 12 23 35 And Jehoiakim [03079] gave [05414] the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] to Pharaoh [06547]; but he taxed [06186] the land [0776] to give [05414] the money [03701] according to the commandment [06310] of Pharaoh [06547]: he exacted [05065] the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], of every one [0376] according to his taxation [06187], to give [05414] it unto Pharaohnechoh [06549]. 12 23 36 Jehoiakim [03079] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Zebudah [02080], the daughter [01323] of Pedaiah [06305] of Rumah [07316]. 12 23 37 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his fathers [01] had done [06213]. 12 24 1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him. 12 24 2 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] against him bands [01416] of the Chaldees [03778], and bands [01416] of the Syrians [0758], and bands [01416] of the Moabites [04124], and bands [01416] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and sent [07971] them against Judah [03063] to destroy [06] it, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. 12 24 3 Surely at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] came this upon Judah [03063], to remove [05493] them out of his sight [06440], for the sins [02403] of Manasseh [04519], according to all that he did [06213]; 12 24 4 And also for the innocent [05355] blood [01818] that he shed [08210]: for he filled [04390] Jerusalem [03389] with innocent [05355] blood [01818]; which the LORD [03068] would [014] not pardon [05545]. 12 24 5 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and all that he did [06213], are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063]? 12 24 6 So Jehoiakim [03079] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 12 24 7 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came [03318] not again [03254] any more out of his land [0776]: for the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had taken [03947] from the river [05158] of Egypt [04714] unto the river [05104] Euphrates [06578] all that pertained to the king [04428] of Egypt [04714]. 12 24 8 Jehoiachin [03078] was eighteen [08083] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] in Jerusalem [03389] three [07969] months [02320]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Nehushta [05179], the daughter [01323] of Elnathan [0494] of Jerusalem [03389]. 12 24 9 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] had done [06213]. 12 24 10 At that time [06256] the servants [05650] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927] against Jerusalem [03389], and the city [05892] was besieged [0935] [04692]. 12 24 11 And Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came [0935] against the city [05892], and his servants [05650] did besiege [06696] it. 12 24 12 And Jehoiachin [03078] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] went out [03318] to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], he, and his mother [0517], and his servants [05650], and his princes [08269], and his officers [05631]: and the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] took [03947] him in the eighth [08083] year [08141] of his reign [04427]. 12 24 13 And he carried out [03318] thence all the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], and cut in pieces [07112] all the vessels [03627] of gold [02091] which Solomon [08010] king [04428] of Israel [03478] had made [06213] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], as the LORD [03068] had said [01696]. 12 24 14 And he carried away [01540] all Jerusalem [03389], and all the princes [08269], and all the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], even ten [06235] thousand [0505] captives [01540], and all the craftsmen [02796] and smiths [04525]: none remained [07604], save [02108] the poorest sort [01803] of the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 12 24 15 And he carried away [01540] Jehoiachin [03078] to Babylon [0894], and the king's [04428] mother [0517], and the king's [04428] wives [0802], and his officers [05631], and the mighty [0352] [0193] of the land [0776], those carried [03212] he into captivity [01473] from Jerusalem [03389] to Babylon [0894]. 12 24 16 And all the men [0582] of might [02428], even seven [07651] thousand [0505], and craftsmen [02796] and smiths [04525] a thousand [0505], all that were strong [01368] and apt [06213] for war [04421], even them the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] brought [0935] captive [01473] to Babylon [0894]. 12 24 17 And the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] made Mattaniah [04983] his father's brother [01730] king [04427] in his stead, and changed [05437] his name [08034] to Zedekiah [06667]. 12 24 18 Zedekiah [06667] was twenty [06242] and one [0259] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hamutal [02537], the daughter [01323] of Jeremiah [03414] of Libnah [03841]. 12 24 19 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that Jehoiakim [03079] had done [06213]. 12 24 20 For through the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] it came to pass in Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], until he had cast them out [07993] from his presence [06440], that Zedekiah [06667] rebelled [04775] against the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 12 25 1 And it came to pass in the ninth [08671] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the tenth [06224] month [02320], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], that Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came [0935], he, and all his host [02428], against Jerusalem [03389], and pitched [02583] against it; and they built [01129] forts [01785] against it round about [05439]. 12 25 2 And the city [05892] was besieged [0935] [04692] unto the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Zedekiah [06667]. 12 25 3 And on the ninth [08672] day of the fourth month [02320] the famine [07458] prevailed [02388] in the city [05892], and there was no bread [03899] for the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 12 25 4 And the city [05892] was broken up [01234], and all the men [0582] of war [04421] fled by night [03915] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] between two walls [02346], which is by the king's [04428] garden [01588]: (now the Chaldees [03778] were against the city [05892] round about [05439]:) and the king went [03212] the way [01870] toward the plain [06160]. 12 25 5 And the army [02428] of the Chaldees [03778] pursued [07291] after [0310] the king [04428], and overtook [05381] him in the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]: and all his army [02428] were scattered [06327] from him. 12 25 6 So they took [08610] the king [04428], and brought him up [05927] to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247]; and they gave [01696] judgment [04941] upon him. 12 25 7 And they slew [07819] the sons [01121] of Zedekiah [06667] before his eyes [05869], and put out [05786] the eyes [05869] of Zedekiah [06667], and bound [0631] him with fetters [05178] of brass [05178], and carried [0935] him to Babylon [0894]. 12 25 8 And in the fifth [02549] month [02320], on the seventh [07651] day of the month [02320], which is the nineteenth [08672] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of king [04428] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], came [0935] Nebuzaradan [05018], captain [07227] of the guard [02876], a servant [05650] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], unto Jerusalem [03389]: 12 25 9 And he burnt [08313] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] house [01004], and all the houses [01004] of Jerusalem [03389], and every great [01419] man's house [01004] burnt [08313] he with fire [0784]. 12 25 10 And all the army [02428] of the Chaldees [03778], that were with the captain [07227] of the guard [02876], brake down [05422] the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] round about [05439]. 12 25 11 Now the rest [03499] of the people [05971] that were left [07604] in the city [05892], and the fugitives [05307] that fell away [05307] to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], with the remnant [03499] of the multitude [01995], did Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] carry away [01540]. 12 25 12 But the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] left [07604] of the poor [01803] of the land [0776] to be vinedressers [03755] and husbandmen [03009] [01461]. 12 25 13 And the pillars [05982] of brass [05178] that were in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the bases [04350], and the brasen [05178] sea [03220] that was in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], did the Chaldees [03778] break in pieces [07665], and carried [05375] the brass [05178] of them to Babylon [0894]. 12 25 14 And the pots [05518], and the shovels [03257], and the snuffers [04212], and the spoons [03709], and all the vessels [03627] of brass [05178] wherewith they ministered [08334], took they away [03947]. 12 25 15 And the firepans [04289], and the bowls [04219], and such things as were of gold [02091], in gold [02091], and of silver [03701], in silver [03701], the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took away [03947]. 12 25 16 The two [08147] pillars [05982], one [0259] sea [03220], and the bases [04350] which Solomon [08010] had made [06213] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; the brass [05178] of all these vessels [03627] was without [03808] weight [04948]. 12 25 17 The height [06967] of the one [0259] pillar [05982] was eighteen [08083] [06240] cubits [0520], and the chapiter [03805] upon it was brass [05178]: and the height [06967] of the chapiter [03805] three [07969] cubits [0520]; and the wreathen work [07639], and pomegranates [07416] upon the chapiter [03805] round about [05439], all of brass [05178]: and like unto these had the second [08145] pillar [05982] with wreathen work [07639]. 12 25 18 And the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] Seraiah [08304] the chief [07218] priest [03548], and Zephaniah [06846] the second [04932] priest [03548], and the three [07969] keepers [08104] of the door [05592]: 12 25 19 And out of the city [05892] he took [03947] an [0259] officer [05631] that was set [06496] over the men [0582] of war [04421], and five [02568] men [0582] of them that were [07200] in the king's [04428] presence [06440], which were found [04672] in the city [05892], and the principal [08269] scribe [05608] of the host [06635], which mustered [06633] the people [05971] of the land [0776], and threescore [08346] men [0376] of the people [05971] of the land [0776] that were found [04672] in the city [05892]: 12 25 20 And Nebuzaradan [05018] captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] these, and brought [03212] them to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247]: 12 25 21 And the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] smote [05221] them, and slew [04191] them at Riblah [07247] in the land [0776] of Hamath [02574].

but, forasmuch as he defiled [02490] his father's [01] bed [03326], his birthright [01062] was given [05414] unto the sons [01121] of Joseph [03130] the son [01121] of Israel [03478]: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned [03187] after the birthright [01062]. 13 5 2 For Judah [03063] prevailed [01396] above his brethren [0251], and of him came the chief ruler [05057]; but the birthright [01062] was Joseph's [03130]:) 13 5 3 The sons [01121], I say, of Reuben [07205] the firstborn [01060] of Israel [03478] were, Hanoch [02585], and Pallu [06396], Hezron [02696], and Carmi [03756]. 13 5 4 The sons [01121] of Joel [03100];

13 5 15 Ahi [0277] the son [01121] of Abdiel [05661], the son [01121] of Guni [01476], chief [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 13 5 16 And they dwelt [03427] in Gilead [01568] in Bashan [01316], and in her towns [01323], and in all the suburbs [04054] of Sharon [08289], upon their borders [08444]. 13 5 17 All these were reckoned by genealogies [03187] in the days [03117] of Jotham [03147] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and in the days [03117] of Jeroboam [03379] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 13 5 18 The sons [01121] of Reuben [07205], and the Gadites [01425], and half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], of valiant men [02428], men [0582] able to bear [05375] buckler [04043] and sword [02719], and to shoot [01869] with bow [07198], and skilful [03925] in war [04421], were four [0702] and forty [0705] thousand [0505] seven [07651] hundred [03967] and threescore [08346], that went out [03318] to the war [06635]. 13 5 19 And they made [06213] war [04421] with the Hagarites [01905], with Jetur [03195], and Nephish [05305], and Nodab [05114]. 13 5 20 And they were helped [05826] against them, and the Hagarites [01905] were delivered [05414] into their hand [03027], and all that were with them: for they cried [02199] to God [0430] in the battle [04421], and he was intreated [06279] of them; because they put their trust [0982] in him. 13 5 21 And they took away [07617] their cattle [04735]; of their camels [01581] fifty [02572] thousand [0505], and of sheep [06629] two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] thousand [0505], and of asses [02543] two thousand [0505], and of men [0120] [05315] an hundred [03967] thousand [0505]. 13 5 22 For there fell [05307] down many [07227] slain [02491], because the war [04421] was of God [0430]. And they dwelt [03427] in their steads until the captivity [01473]. 13 5 23 And the children [01121] of the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] dwelt [03427] in the land [0776]: they increased [07235] from Bashan [01316] unto Baalhermon [01179] and Senir [08149], and unto mount [02022] Hermon [02768]. 13 5 24 And these were the heads [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01], even Epher [06081], and Ishi [03469], and Eliel [0447], and Azriel [05837], and Jeremiah [03414], and Hodaviah [01938], and Jahdiel [03164], mighty [01368] men [0582] of valour [02428], famous [08034] men [0582], and heads [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 13 5 25 And they transgressed [04603] against the God [0430] of their fathers [01], and went a whoring [02181] after [0310] the gods [0430] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], whom God [0430] destroyed [08045] before [06440] them. 13 5 26 And the God [0430] of Israel [03478] stirred up [05782] the spirit [07307] of Pul [06322] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and the spirit [07307] of Tilgathpilneser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and he carried them away [01540], even the Reubenites [07206], and the Gadites [01425], and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], and brought [0935] them unto Halah [02477], and Habor [02249], and Hara [02024], and to the river [05104] Gozan [01470], unto this day [03117]. 13 6 1 The sons [01121] of Levi [03878]; Gershon [01648], Kohath [06955], and Merari [04847]. 13 6 2 And the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955]; Amram [06019], Izhar [03324], and Hebron [02275], and Uzziel [05816]. 13 6 3 And the children [01121] of Amram [06019]; Aaron [0175], and Moses [04872], and Miriam [04813].

These were reckoned by their genealogy [03187] in their villages [02691], whom [01992] David [01732] and Samuel [08050] the seer [07200] did ordain [03245] in their set office [0530]. 13 9 23 So they and their children [01121] had the oversight of the gates [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], namely, the house [01004] of the tabernacle [0168], by wards [04931]. 13 9 24 In four [0702] quarters [07307] were the porters [07778], toward the east [04217], west [03220], north [06828], and south [05045]. 13 9 25 And their brethren [0251], which were in their villages [02691], were to come [0935] after seven [07651] days [03117] from time [06256] to time [06256] with them. 13 9 26 For these Levites [03881], the four [0702] chief [01368] porters [07778], were in their set office [0530], and were over the chambers [03957] and treasuries [0214] of the house [01004] of God [0430]. 13 9 27 And they lodged [03885] round about [05439] the house [01004] of God [0430], because the charge [04931] was upon them, and the opening [04668] thereof every morning [01242] pertained to them. 13 9 28 And certain of them had the charge of [05921] the ministering [05656] vessels [03627], that they should bring them in [0935] and out [03318] by tale [04557] [04557]. 13 9 29 Some of them also were appointed [04487] to oversee the vessels [03627], and all the instruments [03627] of the sanctuary [06944], and the fine flour [05560], and the wine [03196], and the oil [08081], and the frankincense [03828], and the spices [01314]. 13 9 30 And some of the sons [01121] of the priests [03548] made [07543] the ointment [04842] of the spices [01314]. 13 9 31 And Mattithiah [04993], one of the Levites [03881], who was the firstborn [01060] of Shallum [07967] the Korahite [07145], had the set office [0530] over the things that were made [04639] in the pans [02281]. 13 9 32 And other of their brethren [0251], of the sons [01121] of the Kohathites [06956], were over the shewbread [03899] [04635], to prepare [03559] it every sabbath [07676]. 13 9 33 And these are the singers [07891], chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the Levites [03881], who remaining in the chambers [03957] were free [06362] [06359]: for they were employed in that work [04399] day [03119] and night [03915]. 13 9 34 These chief [07218] fathers [01] of the Levites [03881] were chief [07218] throughout their generations [08435]; these dwelt [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]. 13 9 35 And in Gibeon [01391] dwelt [03427] the father [01] of Gibeon [01391] [025], Jehiel [03273], whose wife's [0802] name [08034] was Maachah [04601]: 13 9 36 And his firstborn [01060] son [01121] Abdon [05658], then Zur [06698], and Kish [07027], and Baal [01168], and Ner [05369], and Nadab [05070], 13 9 37 And Gedor [01446], and Ahio [0283], and Zechariah [02148], and Mikloth [04732]. 13 9 38 And Mikloth [04732] begat [03205] Shimeam [08043]. And they also dwelt [03427] with their brethren [0251] at Jerusalem [03389], over against their brethren [0251]. 13 9 39 And Ner [05369] begat [03205] Kish [07027]; and Kish [07027] begat [03205] Saul [07586]; and Saul [07586] begat [03205] Jonathan [03083], and Malchishua [04444], and Abinadab [041], and Eshbaal [0792]. 13 9 40 And the son [01121] of Jonathan [03083] was Meribbaal [04807]: and Meribbaal [04810] begat [03205] Micah [04318]. 13 9 41 And the sons [01121] of Micah [04318] were, Pithon [06377], and Melech [04429], and Tahrea [08475], and Ahaz. 13 9 42 And Ahaz [0271] begat [03205] Jarah [03294]; and Jarah [03294] begat [03205] Alemeth [05964], and Azmaveth [05820], and Zimri [02174]; and Zimri [02174] begat [03205] Moza [04162]; 13 9 43 And Moza [04162] begat [03205] Binea [01150]; and Rephaiah [07509] his son [01121], Eleasah [0501] his son [01121], Azel [0682] his son [01121]. 13 9 44 And Azel [0682] had six [08337] sons [01121], whose names [08034] are these, Azrikam [05840], Bocheru [01074], and Ishmael [03458], and Sheariah [08187], and Obadiah [05662], and Hanan [02605]: these were the sons [01121] of Azel [0682]. 13 10 1 Now the Philistines [06430] fought [03898] against Israel [03478]; and the men [0376] of Israel [03478] fled [05127] from before [06440] the Philistines [06430], and fell down [05307] slain [02491] in mount [02022] Gilboa [01533]. 13 10 2 And the Philistines [06430] followed hard [01692] after [0310] Saul [07586], and after [0310] his sons [01121]; and the Philistines [06430] slew [05221] Jonathan [03129], and Abinadab [041], and Malchishua [04444], the sons [01121] of Saul [07586]. 13 10 3 And the battle [04421] went sore [03513] against Saul [07586], and the archers [03384] [07198] hit [04672] him, and he was wounded [02342] of the archers [03384]. 13 10 4 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] to his armourbearer [05375] [03627], Draw [08025] thy sword [02719], and thrust [01856] me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised [06189] come [0935] and abuse [05953] me. But his armourbearer [05375] [03627] would [014] not; for he was sore [03966] afraid [03372]. So Saul [07586] took [03947] a sword [02719], and fell [05307] upon it. 13 10 5 And when his armourbearer [05375] [03627] saw [07200] that Saul [07586] was dead [04191], he fell [05307] likewise on the sword [02719], and died [04191]. 13 10 6 So Saul [07586] died [04191], and his three [07969] sons [01121], and all his house [01004] died [04191] together [03162]. 13 10 7 And when all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] that were in the valley [06010] saw [07200] that they fled [05127], and that Saul [07586] and his sons [01121] were dead [04191], then they forsook [05800] their cities [05892], and fled [05127]: and the Philistines [06430] came [0935] and dwelt [03427] in them. 13 10 8 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], when the Philistines [06430] came [0935] to strip [06584] the slain [02491], that they found [04672] Saul [07586] and his sons [01121] fallen [05307] in mount [02022] Gilboa [01533]. 13 10 9 And when they had stripped [06584] him, they took [05375] his head [07218], and his armour [03627], and sent [07971] into the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430] round about [05439], to carry tidings [01319] unto their idols [06091], and to the people [05971]. 13 10 10 And they put [07760] his armour [03627] in the house [01004] of their gods [0430], and fastened [08628] his head [01538] in the temple [01004] of Dagon [01712]. 13 10 11 And when all Jabeshgilead [03003] [01568] heard [08085] all that the Philistines [06430] had done [06213] to Saul [07586], 13 10 12 They arose [06965], all the valiant [02428] men [0376], and took away [05375] the body [01480] of Saul [07586], and the bodies [01480] of his sons [01121], and brought [0935] them to Jabesh [03003], and buried [06912] their bones [06106] under the oak [0424] in Jabesh [03003], and fasted [06684] seven [07651] days [03117]. 13 10 13 So Saul [07586] died [04191] for his transgression [04604] which he committed [04603] against the LORD [03068], even against the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he kept [08104] not, and also for asking [07592] counsel of one that had a familiar spirit [0178], to enquire [01875] of it; 13 10 14 And enquired [01875] not of the LORD [03068]: therefore he slew [04191] him, and turned [05437] the kingdom [04410] unto David [01732] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]. 13 11 1 Then all Israel [03478] gathered [06908] themselves to David [01732] unto Hebron [02275], saying [0559], Behold, we are thy bone [06106] and thy flesh [01320]. 13 11 2 And moreover in time [08543] past [08032], even when Saul [07586] was king [04428], thou wast he that leddest out [03318] and broughtest in [0935] Israel [03478]: and the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] said [0559] unto thee, Thou shalt feed [07462] my people [05971] Israel [03478], and thou shalt be ruler [05057] over my people [01571] Israel [03478]. 13 11 3 Therefore came [0935] all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] to the king [04428] to Hebron [02275]; and David [01732] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with them in Hebron [02275] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and they anointed [04886] David [01732] king [04428] over Israel [03478], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by [03027] Samuel [08050]. 13 11 4 And David [01732] and all Israel [03478] went [03212] to Jerusalem [03389], which is Jebus [02982]; where the Jebusites [02983] were, the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]. 13 11 5 And the inhabitants [03427] of Jebus [02982] said [0559] to David [01732], Thou shalt not come [0935] hither. Nevertheless David [01732] took [03920] the castle [04686] of Zion [06726], which is the city [05892] of David [01732]. 13 11 6 And David [01732] said [0559], Whosoever smiteth [05221] the Jebusites [02983] first [07223] shall be chief [07218] and captain [08269]. So Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] went [05927] first [07223] up [05927], and was chief [07218]. 13 11 7 And David [01732] dwelt [03427] in the castle [04679]; therefore they called [07121] it the city [05892] of David [01732]. 13 11 8 And he built [01129] the city [05892] round about [05439], even from Millo [04407] round about [05439]: and Joab [03097] repaired [02421] the rest [07605] of the city [05892]. 13 11 9 So David [01732] waxed [03212] greater [01980] and greater [01419]: for the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] was with him. 13 11 10 These also are the chief [07218] of the mighty men [01368] whom David [01732] had, who strengthened [02388] themselves with him in his kingdom [04438], and with all Israel [03478], to make him king [04427], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] concerning Israel [03478]. 13 11 11 And this is the number [04557] of the mighty men [01368] whom David [01732] had; Jashobeam [03434], an Hachmonite [02453], the chief [07218] of the captains [07991] [07970]: he lifted up [05782] his spear [02595] against three [07969] hundred [03967] slain [02491] by him at one [0259] time [06471]. 13 11 12 And after [0310] him was Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Dodo [01734], the Ahohite [0266], who was one of the three [07969] mighties [01368]. 13 11 13 He was with David [01732] at Pasdammim [06450], and there the Philistines [06430] were gathered together [0622] to battle [04421], where was a parcel [02513] of ground [07704] full [04392] of barley [08184]; and the people [05971] fled [05127] from before [06440] the Philistines [06430]. 13 11 14 And they set [03320] themselves in the midst [08432] of that parcel [02513], and delivered [05337] it, and slew [05221] the Philistines [06430]; and the LORD [03068] saved [03467] them by a great [01419] deliverance [08668]. 13 11 15 Now three [07969] of the thirty [07970] captains [07218] went down [03381] to the rock [06697] to David [01732], into the cave [04631] of Adullam [05725]; and the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430] encamped [02583] in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 13 11 16 And David [01732] was then in the hold [04686], and the Philistines [06430]' garrison [05333] was then at Bethlehem [01035]. 13 11 17 And David [01732] longed [0183], and said [0559], Oh that one would give me drink [08248] of the water [04325] of the well [0953] of Bethlehem [01035], that is at the gate [08179]! 13 11 18 And the three [07969] brake through [01234] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430], and drew [07579] water [04325] out of the well [0953] of Bethlehem [01035], that was by the gate [08179], and took [05375] it, and brought [0935] it to David [01732]: but David [01732] would [014] not drink [08354] of it, but poured it out [05258] to the LORD [03068], 13 11 19 And said [0559], My God [0430] forbid [02486] it me, that I should do [06213] this thing [02063]: shall I drink [08354] the blood [01818] of these men [0582] that have put their lives in jeopardy [05315]? for with the jeopardy of their lives [05315] they brought [0935] it. Therefore he would [014] not drink [08354] it. These things did [06213] these three [07969] mightiest [01368]. 13 11 20 And Abishai [052] the brother [0251] of Joab [03097], he was chief [07218] of the three [07969]: for lifting up [05782] his spear [02595] against three [07969] hundred [03967], he slew [02491] them, and had a name [08034] among the three [07969]. 13 11 21 Of the three [07969], he was more honourable [03513] than the two [08147]; for he was their captain [08269]: howbeit he attained [0935] not to the first three [07969]. 13 11 22 Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], the son [01121] of a valiant [02428] man [0376] of Kabzeel [06909], who had done many [07227] acts [06467]; he slew [05221] two [08147] lionlike men [0739] of Moab [04124]: also he went down [03381] and slew [05221] a lion [0738] in [08432] a pit [0953] in a snowy [07950] day [03117]. 13 11 23 And he slew [05221] an Egyptian [04713], a man [0376] of great stature [04060], five [02568] cubits [0520] high; and in the Egyptian's [04713] hand [03027] was a spear [02595] like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500]; and he went down [03381] to him with a staff [07626], and plucked [01497] the spear [02595] out of the Egyptian's [04713] hand [03027], and slew [02026] him with his own spear [02595]. 13 11 24 These things did [06213] Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077], and had the name [08034] among the three [07969] mighties [01368]. 13 11 25 Behold [02009], he was honourable [03513] among the thirty [07970], but attained [0935] not to the first three [07969]: and David [01732] set [07760] him over his guard [04928]. 13 11 26 Also the valiant men [01368] of the armies [02428] were, Asahel [06214] the brother [0251] of Joab [03097], Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Dodo [01734] of Bethlehem [01035], 13 11 27 Shammoth [08054] the Harorite [02033], Helez [02503] the Pelonite [06397], 13 11 28 Ira [05896] the son [01121] of Ikkesh [06142] the Tekoite [08621], Abiezer [044] the Antothite [06069], 13 11 29 Sibbecai [05444] the Hushathite [02843], Ilai [05866] the Ahohite [0266], 13 11 30 Maharai [04121] the Netophathite [05200], Heled [02466] the son [01121] of Baanah [01196] the Netophathite [05200], 13 11 31 Ithai [0863] the son [01121] of Ribai [07380] of Gibeah [01390], that pertained to the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], Benaiah [01141] the Pirathonite [06553], 13 11 32 Hurai [02360] of the brooks [05158] of Gaash [01608], Abiel [022] the Arbathite [06164], 13 11 33 Azmaveth [05820] the Baharumite [0978], Eliahba [0455] the Shaalbonite [08170], 13 11 34 The sons [01121] of Hashem [02044] the Gizonite [01493], Jonathan [03129] the son [01121] of Shage [07681] the Hararite [02043], 13 11 35 Ahiam [0279] the son [01121] of Sacar [07940] the Hararite [02043], Eliphal [0465] the son [01121] of Ur [0218], 13 11 36 Hepher [02660] the Mecherathite [04382], Ahijah [0281] the Pelonite [06397], 13 11 37 Hezro [02695] the Carmelite [03761], Naarai [05293] the son [01121] of Ezbai [0229], 13 11 38 Joel [03100] the brother [0251] of Nathan [05416], Mibhar [04006] the son [01121] of Haggeri [01905], 13 11 39 Zelek [06768] the Ammonite [05984], Naharai [05171] the Berothite [01307], the armourbearer [05375] [03627] of Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870], 13 11 40 Ira [05896] the Ithrite [03505], Gareb [01619] the Ithrite [03505], 13 11 41 Uriah [0223] the Hittite [02850], Zabad [02066] the son [01121] of Ahlai [0304], 13 11 42 Adina [05721] the son [01121] of Shiza [07877] the Reubenite [07206], a captain [07218] of the Reubenites [07206], and thirty [07970] with him, 13 11 43 Hanan [02605] the son [01121] of Maachah [04601], and Joshaphat [03146] the Mithnite [04981], 13 11 44 Uzzia [05814] the Ashterathite [06254], Shama [08091] and Jehiel [03273] the sons [01121] of Hothan [02369] the Aroerite [06200], 13 11 45 Jediael [03043] the son [01121] of Shimri [08113], and Joha [03109] his brother [0251], the Tizite [08491], 13 11 46 Eliel [0447] the Mahavite [04233], and Jeribai [03403], and Joshaviah [03145], the sons [01121] of Elnaam [0493], and Ithmah [03495] the Moabite [04125], 13 11 47 Eliel [0447], and Obed [05744], and Jasiel [03300] the Mesobaite [04677]. 13 12 1 Now these are they that came [0935] to David [01732] to Ziklag [06860], while he yet kept himself close [06113] because [06440] of Saul [07586] the son [01121] of Kish [07027]: and they were among the mighty men [01368], helpers [05826] of the war [04421]. 13 12 2 They were armed [05401] with bows [07198], and could use both the right hand [03231] and the left [08041] in hurling stones [068] and shooting arrows [02671] out of a bow [07198], even of Saul's [07586] brethren [0251] of Benjamin [01144]. 13 12 3 The chief [07218] was Ahiezer [0295], then Joash [03101], the sons [01121] of Shemaah [08094] the Gibeathite [01395];

and Jeremiah [03414], and Jahaziel [03166], and Johanan [03110], and Josabad [03107] the Gederathite [01452], 13 12 5 Eluzai [0498], and Jerimoth [03406], and Bealiah [01183], and Shemariah [08114], and Shephatiah [08203] the Haruphite [02741], 13 12 6 Elkanah [0511], and Jesiah [03449], and Azareel [05832], and Joezer [03134], and Jashobeam [03434], the Korhites [07145], 13 12 7 And Joelah [03132], and Zebadiah [02069], the sons [01121] of Jeroham [03395] of Gedor [01446]. 13 12 8 And of the Gadites [01425] there separated [0914] themselves unto David [01732] into the hold [04679] to the wilderness [04057] men [01368] of might [02428], and men [0582] of war [06635] fit for the battle [04421], that could handle [06186] shield [06793] and buckler [07420], whose faces [06440] were like the faces [06440] of lions [0738], and were as swift [04116] as the roes [06643] upon the mountains [02022]; 13 12 9 Ezer [05829] the first [07218], Obadiah [05662] the second [08145], Eliab [0446] the third [07992], 13 12 10 Mishmannah [04925] the fourth [07243], Jeremiah [03414] the fifth [02549], 13 12 11 Attai [06262] the sixth [08345], Eliel [0447] the seventh [07637], 13 12 12 Johanan [03110] the eighth [08066], Elzabad [0443] the ninth [08671], 13 12 13 Jeremiah [03414] the tenth [06224], Machbanai [04344] the eleventh [06249] [06240]. 13 12 14 These were of the sons [01121] of Gad [01410], captains [07218] of the host [06635]: one [0259] of the least [06996] was over an hundred [03967], and the greatest [01419] over a thousand [0505]. 13 12 15 These are they that went over [05674] Jordan [03383] in the first [07223] month [02320], when it had overflown [04390] all his banks [01415] [01428]; and they put to flight [01272] all them of the valleys [06010], both toward the east [04217], and toward the west [04628]. 13 12 16 And there came [0935] of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144] and Judah [03063] to the hold [04679] unto David [01732]. 13 12 17 And David [01732] went out [03318] to meet [06440] them, and answered [06030] and said [0559] unto them, If ye be come [0935] peaceably [07965] unto me to help [05826] me, mine heart [03824] shall be knit [03162] unto you: but if ye be come to betray [07411] me to mine enemies [06862], seeing there is no [03808] wrong [02555] in mine hands [03709], the God [0430] of our fathers [01] look [07200] thereon, and rebuke [03198] it. 13 12 18 Then the spirit [07307] came [03847] upon Amasai [06022], who was chief [07218] of the captains [07970] [07991], and he said, Thine are we, David [01732], and on thy side, thou son [01121] of Jesse [03448]: peace [07965], peace [07965] be unto thee, and peace [07965] be to thine helpers [05826]; for thy God [0430] helpeth [05826] thee. Then David [01732] received [06901] them, and made [05414] them captains [07218] of the band [01416]. 13 12 19 And there fell [05307] some of Manasseh [04519] to David [01732], when he came [0935] with the Philistines [06430] against Saul [07586] to battle [04421]: but they helped [05826] them not: for the lords [05633] of the Philistines [06430] upon advisement [06098] sent [07971] him away, saying [0559], He will fall [05307] to his master [0113] Saul [07586] to the jeopardy of our heads [07218]. 13 12 20 As he went [03212] to Ziklag [06860], there fell [05307] to him of Manasseh [04519], Adnah [05734], and Jozabad [03107], and Jediael [03043], and Michael [04317], and Jozabad [03107], and Elihu [0453], and Zilthai [06769], captains [07218] of the thousands [0505] that were of Manasseh [04519]. 13 12 21 And they helped [05826] David [01732] against the band [01416] of the rovers: for they were all mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], and were captains [08269] in the host [06635]. 13 12 22 For at that time [06256] day [03117] by day [03117] there came [0935] to David [01732] to help [05826] him, until it was a great [01419] host [04264], like the host [04264] of God [0430]. 13 12 23 And these are the numbers [04557] of the bands [07218] that were ready armed [02502] to the war [06635], and came [0935] to David [01732] to Hebron [02275], to turn [05437] the kingdom [04438] of Saul [07586] to him, according to the word [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 13 12 24 The children [01121] of Judah [03063] that bare [05375] shield [06793] and spear [07420] were six [08337] thousand [0505] and eight [08083] hundred [03967], ready armed [02502] to the war [06635]. 13 12 25 Of the children [01121] of Simeon [08095], mighty men [01368] of valour [02428] for the war [06635], seven [07651] thousand [0505] and one hundred [03967]. 13 12 26 Of the children [01121] of Levi [03878] four [0702] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967]. 13 12 27 And Jehoiada [03077] was the leader [05057] of the Aaronites [0175], and with him were three [07969] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967]; 13 12 28 And Zadok [06659], a young man [05288] mighty [01368] of valour [02428], and of his father's [01] house [01004] twenty [06242] and two [08147] captains [08269]. 13 12 29 And of the children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], the kindred [0251] of Saul [07586], three [07969] thousand [0505]: for hitherto the greatest [04768] part of them had kept [08104] the ward [04931] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586]. 13 12 30 And of the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669] twenty [06242] thousand [0505] and eight [08083] hundred [03967], mighty [01368] men [0582] of valour [02428], famous [08034] throughout the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 13 12 31 And of the half [02677] tribe [04294] of Manasseh [04519] eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505], which were expressed [05344] by name [08034], to come [0935] and make David [01732] king [04427]. 13 12 32 And of the children [01121] of Issachar [03485], which were men that had understanding [0998] [03045] of the times [06256], to know [03045] what Israel [03478] ought to do [06213]; the heads [07218] of them were two hundred [03967]; and all their brethren [0251] were at their commandment [06310]. 13 12 33 Of Zebulun [02074], such as went forth [03318] to battle [06635], expert [06186] in war [04421], with all instruments [03627] of war [04421], fifty [02572] thousand [0505], which could keep rank [05737]: they were not of double [03820] heart [03820]. 13 12 34 And of Naphtali [05321] a thousand [0505] captains [08269], and with them with shield [06793] and spear [02595] thirty [07970] and seven [07651] thousand [0505]. 13 12 35 And of the Danites [01839] expert [06186] in war [04421] twenty [06242] and eight [08083] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967]. 13 12 36 And of Asher [0836], such as went forth [03318] to battle [06635], expert [06186] in war [04421], forty [0705] thousand [0505]. 13 12 37 And on the other side [05676] of Jordan [03383], of the Reubenites [07206], and the Gadites [01425], and of the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], with all manner of instruments [03627] of war [06635] for the battle [04421], an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505]. 13 12 38 All these men [0582] of war [04421], that could keep [05737] rank [04634], came [0935] with a perfect [08003] heart [03820] to Hebron [02275], to make David [01732] king [04427] over all Israel [03478]: and all the rest [07611] also of Israel [03478] were of one [0259] heart [03824] to make David [01732] king [04427]. 13 12 39 And there they were with David [01732] three [07969] days [03117], eating [0398] and drinking [08354]: for their brethren [0251] had prepared [03559] for them. 13 12 40 Moreover they that were nigh [07138] them, even unto Issachar [03485] and Zebulun [02074] and Naphtali [05321], brought [0935] bread [03899] on asses [02543], and on camels [01581], and on mules [06505], and on oxen [01241], and meat [03978], meal [07058], cakes [01690] of figs, and bunches of raisins [06778], and wine [03196], and oil [08081], and oxen [01241], and sheep [06629] abundantly [07230]: for there was joy [08057] in Israel [03478]. 13 13 1 And David [01732] consulted [03289] with the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and hundreds [03967], and with every leader [05057]. 13 13 2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], If it seem good [02895] unto you, and that it be of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], let us send [07971] abroad [06555] unto our brethren [0251] every where, that are left [07604] in all the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and with them also to the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] which are in their cities [05892] and suburbs [04054], that they may gather [06908] themselves unto us: 13 13 3 And let us bring again [05437] the ark [0727] of our God [0430] to us: for we enquired [01875] not at it in the days [03117] of Saul [07586]. 13 13 4 And all the congregation [06951] said [0559] that they would do so [06213]: for the thing [01697] was right [03474] in the eyes [05869] of all the people [05971]. 13 13 5 So David [01732] gathered [06950] all Israel [03478] together [06950], from Shihor [07883] of Egypt [04714] even unto the entering [0935] of Hemath [02574], to bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] from Kirjathjearim [07157]. 13 13 6 And David [01732] went up [05927], and all Israel [03478], to Baalah [01173], that is, to Kirjathjearim [07157], which belonged to Judah [03063], to bring up [05927] thence the ark [0727] of God [0430] the LORD [03068], that dwelleth [03427] between the cherubims [03742], whose name [08034] is called [07121] on it. 13 13 7 And they carried [07392] the ark [0727] of God [0430] in a new [02319] cart [05699] out of the house [01004] of Abinadab [041]: and Uzza [05798] and Ahio [0283] drave [05090] the cart [05699]. 13 13 8 And David [01732] and all Israel [03478] played [07832] before [06440] God [0430] with all their might [05797], and with singing [07892], and with harps [03658], and with psalteries [05035], and with timbrels [08596], and with cymbals [04700], and with trumpets [02689]. 13 13 9 And when they came [0935] unto the threshingfloor [01637] of Chidon [03592], Uzza [05798] put forth [07971] his hand [03027] to hold [0270] the ark [0727]; for the oxen [01241] stumbled [08058]. 13 13 10 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Uzza [05798], and he smote [05221] him, because he put [07971] his hand [03027] to the ark [0727]: and there he died [04191] before [06440] God [0430]. 13 13 11 And David [01732] was displeased [02734], because the LORD [03068] had made [06555] a breach [06556] upon Uzza [05798]: wherefore that place [04725] is called [07121] Perezuzza [06560] to this day [03117]. 13 13 12 And David [01732] was afraid [03372] of God [0430] that day [03117], saying [0559], How [01963] shall I bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] home to me? 13 13 13 So David [01732] brought [05493] not the ark [0727] home to himself to the city [05892] of David [01732], but carried it aside [05186] into the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] the Gittite [01663]. 13 13 14 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] remained [03427] with the family [01004] of Obededom [05654] in his house [01004] three [07969] months [02320]. And the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that he had. 13 14 1 Now Hiram [02438] [02361] king [04428] of Tyre [06865] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to David [01732], and timber [06086] of cedars [0730], with masons [07023] and carpenters [02796], to build [01129] him an house [01004]. 13 14 2 And David [01732] perceived [03045] that the LORD [03068] had confirmed [03559] him king [04428] over Israel [03478], for his kingdom [04438] was lifted up [05375] on high [04605], because of his people [05971] Israel [03478]. 13 14 3 And David [01732] took [03947] more wives [0802] at Jerusalem [03389]: and David [01732] begat [03205] more sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 13 14 4 Now these are the names [08034] of his children [03205] which he had in Jerusalem [03389]; Shammua [08051], and Shobab [07727], Nathan [05416], and Solomon [08010], 13 14 5 And Ibhar [02984], and Elishua [0474], and Elpalet [0467], 13 14 6 And Nogah [05052], and Nepheg [05298], and Japhia [03309], 13 14 7 And Elishama [0476], and Beeliada [01182], and Eliphalet [0467]. 13 14 8 And when the Philistines [06430] heard [08085] that David [01732] was anointed [04886] king [04428] over all Israel [03478], all the Philistines [06430] went up [05927] to seek [01245] David [01732]. And David [01732] heard [08085] of it, and went out [03318] against [06440] them. 13 14 9 And the Philistines [06430] came [0935] and spread [06584] themselves in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 13 14 10 And David [01732] enquired [07592] of God [0430], saying [0559], Shall I go up [05927] against the Philistines [06430]? and wilt thou deliver [05414] them into mine hand [03027]? And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927]; for I will deliver [05414] them into thine hand [03027]. 13 14 11 So they came up [05927] to Baalperazim [01188]; and David [01732] smote [05221] them there. Then David [01732] said [0559], God [0430] hath broken in [06555] upon mine enemies [0341] by mine hand [03027] like the breaking forth [06556] of waters [04325]: therefore they called [07121] the name [08034] of that place [04725] Baalperazim [01188]. 13 14 12 And when they had left [05800] their gods [0430] there, David [01732] gave a commandment [0559], and they were burned [08313] with fire [0784]. 13 14 13 And the Philistines [06430] yet again [03254] spread themselves abroad [06584] in the valley [06010]. 13 14 14 Therefore David [01732] enquired [07592] again of God [0430]; and God [0430] said [0559] unto him, Go not up [05927] after [0310] them; turn away [05437] from them, and come [0935] upon them over against [04136] the mulberry trees [01057]. 13 14 15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear [08085] a sound [06963] of going [06807] in the tops [07218] of the mulberry trees [01057], that then thou shalt go out [03318] to battle [04421]: for God [0430] is gone forth [03318] before [06440] thee to smite [05221] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430]. 13 14 16 David [01732] therefore did [06213] as God [0430] commanded [06680] him: and they smote [05221] the host [04264] of the Philistines [06430] from Gibeon [01391] even to Gazer [01507]. 13 14 17 And the fame [08034] of David [01732] went out [03318] into all lands [0776]; and the LORD [03068] brought [05414] the fear [06343] of him upon all nations [01471]. 13 15 1 And David made [06213] him houses [01004] in the city [05892] of David [01732], and prepared [03559] a place [04725] for the ark [0727] of God [0430], and pitched [05186] for it a tent [0168]. 13 15 2 Then David [01732] said [0559], None ought to carry [05375] the ark [0727] of God [0430] but the Levites [03881]: for them hath the LORD [03068] chosen [0977] to carry [05375] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and to minister [08334] unto him for [05704] ever [05769]. 13 15 3 And David [01732] gathered [06950] all Israel [03478] together [06950] to Jerusalem [03389], to bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] unto his place [04725], which he had prepared [03559] for it. 13 15 4 And David [01732] assembled [0622] the children [01121] of Aaron [0175], and the Levites [03881]: 13 15 5 Of the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955]; Uriel [0222] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242]: 13 15 6 Of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847]; Asaiah [06222] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] two hundred [03967] and twenty [06242]: 13 15 7 Of the sons [01121] of Gershom [01647]; Joel [03100] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970]: 13 15 8 Of the sons [01121] of Elizaphan [0469]; Shemaiah [08098] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] two hundred [03967]: 13 15 9 Of the sons [01121] of Hebron [02275]; Eliel [0447] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] fourscore [08084]: 13 15 10 Of the sons [01121] of Uzziel [05816]; Amminadab [05992] the chief [08269], and his brethren [0251] an hundred [03967] and twelve [08147] [06240]. 13 15 11 And David [01732] called [07121] for Zadok [06659] and Abiathar [054] the priests [03548], and for the Levites [03881], for Uriel [0222], Asaiah [06222], and Joel [03100], Shemaiah [08098], and Eliel [0447], and Amminadab [05992], 13 15 12 And said [0559] unto them, Ye are the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the Levites [03881]: sanctify [06942] yourselves, both ye and your brethren [0251], that ye may bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] unto the place that I have prepared [03559] for it. 13 15 13 For because ye did it not at the first [07223], the LORD [03068] our God [0430] made a breach [06555] upon us, for that we sought [01875] him not after the due order [04941]. 13 15 14 So the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] sanctified [06942] themselves to bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 13 15 15 And the children [01121] of the Levites [03881] bare [05375] the ark [0727] of God [0430] upon their shoulders [03802] with the staves [04133] thereon, as Moses [04872] commanded [06680] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 13 15 16 And David [01732] spake [0559] to the chief [08269] of the Levites [03881] to appoint [05975] their brethren [0251] to be the singers [07891] with instruments [03627] of musick [07892], psalteries [05035] and harps [03658] and cymbals [04700], sounding [08085], by lifting up [07311] the voice [06963] with joy [08057]. 13 15 17 So the Levites [03881] appointed [05975] Heman [01968] the son [01121] of Joel [03100]; and of his brethren [0251], Asaph [0623] the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296]; and of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] their brethren [0251], Ethan [0387] the son [01121] of Kushaiah [06984]; 13 15 18 And with them their brethren [0251] of the second [04932] degree, Zechariah [02148], Ben [01122], and Jaaziel [03268], and Shemiramoth [08070], and Jehiel [03171], and Unni [06042], Eliab [0446], and Benaiah [01141], and Maaseiah [04641], and Mattithiah [04993], and Elipheleh [0466], and Mikneiah [04737], and Obededom [05654], and Jeiel [03273], the porters [07778]. 13 15 19 So the singers [07891], Heman [01968], Asaph [0623], and Ethan [0387], were appointed to sound [08085] with cymbals [04700] of brass [05178]; 13 15 20 And Zechariah [02148], and Aziel [05815], and Shemiramoth [08070], and Jehiel [03171], and Unni [06042], and Eliab [0446], and Maaseiah [04641], and Benaiah [01141], with psalteries [05035] on Alamoth [05961]; 13 15 21 And Mattithiah [04993], and Elipheleh [0466], and Mikneiah [04737], and Obededom [05654], and Jeiel [03273], and Azaziah [05812], with harps [03658] on the Sheminith [08067] to excel [05329]. 13 15 22 And Chenaniah [03663], chief [08269] of the Levites [03881], was for song [04853]: he instructed [03256] about the song [04853], because he was skilful [0995]. 13 15 23 And Berechiah [01296] and Elkanah [0511] were doorkeepers [07778] for the ark [0727]. 13 15 24 And Shebaniah [07645], and Jehoshaphat [03146], and Nethaneel [05417], and Amasai [06022], and Zechariah [02148], and Benaiah [01141], and Eliezer [0461], the priests [03548], did blow [02690] [02690] with the trumpets [02689] before [06440] the ark [0727] of God [0430]: and Obededom [05654] and Jehiah [03174] were doorkeepers [07778] for the ark [0727]. 13 15 25 So David [01732], and the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and the captains [08269] over thousands [0505], went [01980] to bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] out of the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] with joy [08057]. 13 15 26 And it came to pass, when God [0430] helped [05826] the Levites [03881] that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], that they offered [02076] seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352]. 13 15 27 And David [01732] was clothed [03736] with a robe [04598] of fine linen [0948], and all the Levites [03881] that bare [05375] the ark [0727], and the singers [07891], and Chenaniah [03663] the master [08269] of the song [04853] with the singers [07891]: David [01732] also had upon him an ephod [0646] of linen [0906]. 13 15 28 Thus all Israel [03478] brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] with shouting [08643], and with sound [06963] of the cornet [07782], and with trumpets [02689], and with cymbals [04700], making a noise [08085] with psalteries [05035] and harps [03658]. 13 15 29 And it came to pass, as the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] to the city [05892] of David [01732], that Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586] looking out [08259] at a window [02474] saw [07200] king [04428] David [01732] dancing [07540] and playing [07832]: and she despised [0959] him in her heart [03820]. 13 16 1 So they brought [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and set [03322] it in the midst [08432] of the tent [0168] that David [01732] had pitched [05186] for it: and they offered [07126] burnt sacrifices [05930] and peace offerings [08002] before [06440] God [0430]. 13 16 2 And when David [01732] had made an end [03615] of offering [05927] the burnt offerings [05930] and the peace offerings [08002], he blessed [01288] the people [05971] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 13 16 3 And he dealt [02505] to every one [0376] of Israel [03478], both man [0376] and woman [0802], to every one [0376] a loaf [03603] of bread [03899], and a good piece of flesh [0829], and a flagon [0809] of wine. 13 16 4 And he appointed [05414] certain of the Levites [03881] to minister [08334] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and to record [02142], and to thank [03034] and praise [01984] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]: 13 16 5 Asaph [0623] the chief [07218], and next [04932] to him Zechariah [02148], Jeiel [03273], and Shemiramoth [08070], and Jehiel [03171], and Mattithiah [04993], and Eliab [0446], and Benaiah [01141], and Obededom [05654]: and Jeiel [03273] with psalteries [05035] [03627] and with harps [03658]; but Asaph [0623] made a sound [08085] with cymbals [04700]; 13 16 6 Benaiah [01141] also and Jahaziel [03166] the priests [03548] with trumpets [02689] continually [08548] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of God [0430]. 13 16 7 Then on that day [03117] David [01732] delivered [05414] first [07218] this psalm to thank [03034] the LORD [03068] into the hand [03027] of Asaph [0623] and his brethren [0251]. 13 16 8 Give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068], call [07121] upon his name [08034], make known [03045] his deeds [05949] among the people [05971]. 13 16 9 Sing [07891] unto him, sing psalms [02167] unto him, talk [07878] ye of all his wondrous [06381] works. 13 16 10 Glory [01984] ye in his holy [06944] name [08034]: let the heart [03820] of them rejoice [08055] that seek [01245] the LORD [03068]. 13 16 11 Seek [01875] the LORD [03068] and his strength [05797], seek [01245] his face [06440] continually [08548]. 13 16 12 Remember [02142] his marvellous [06381] works that he hath done [06213], his wonders [04159], and the judgments [04941] of his mouth [06310]; 13 16 13 O ye seed [02233] of Israel [03478] his servant [05650], ye children [01121] of Jacob [03290], his chosen ones [0972]. 13 16 14 He is the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; his judgments [04941] are in all the earth [0776]. 13 16 15 Be ye mindful [02142] always [05769] of his covenant [01285]; the word [01697] which he commanded [06680] to a thousand [0505] generations [01755]; 13 16 16 Even of the covenant which he made [03772] with Abraham [085], and of his oath [07621] unto Isaac [03327]; 13 16 17 And hath confirmed [05975] the same to Jacob [03290] for a law [02706], and to Israel [03478] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], 13 16 18 Saying [0559], Unto thee will I give [05414] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the lot [02256] of your inheritance [05159]; 13 16 19 When ye were but few [04557] [04962], even a few [04592], and strangers [01481] in it. 13 16 20 And when they went [01980] from nation [01471] to nation [01471], and from one kingdom [04467] to another [0312] people [05971]; 13 16 21 He suffered [03240] no man [0376] to do them wrong [06231]: yea, he reproved [03198] kings [04428] for their sakes, 13 16 22 Saying, Touch [05060] not mine anointed [04899], and do my prophets [05030] no harm [07489]. 13 16 23 Sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], all the earth [0776]; shew forth [01319] from day [03117] to day [03117] his salvation [03444]. 13 16 24 Declare [05608] his glory [03519] among the heathen [01471]; his marvellous works [06381] among all nations [05971]. 13 16 25 For great [01419] is the LORD [03068], and greatly [03966] to be praised [01984]: he also is to be feared [03372] above all gods [0430]. 13 16 26 For all the gods [0430] of the people [05971] are idols [0457]: but the LORD [03068] made [06213] the heavens [08064]. 13 16 27 Glory [01935] and honour [01926] are in his presence [06440]; strength [05797] and gladness [02304] are in his place [04725]. 13 16 28 Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068], ye kindreds [04940] of the people [05971], give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] glory [03519] and strength [05797]. 13 16 29 Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] the glory [03519] due unto his name [08034]: bring [05375] an offering [04503], and come [0935] before [06440] him: worship [07812] the LORD [03068] in the beauty [01927] of holiness [06944]. 13 16 30 Fear [02342] before [06440] him, all the earth [0776]: the world [08398] also shall be stable [03559], that it be not moved [04131]. 13 16 31 Let the heavens [08064] be glad [08055], and let the earth [0776] rejoice [01523]: and let men say [0559] among the nations [01471], The LORD [03068] reigneth [04427]. 13 16 32 Let the sea [03220] roar [07481], and the fulness [04393] thereof: let the fields [07704] rejoice [05970], and all that is therein. 13 16 33 Then shall the trees [06086] of the wood [03293] sing out [07442] at the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], because he cometh [0935] to judge [08199] the earth [0776]. 13 16 34 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; for he is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 13 16 35 And say [0559] ye, Save [03467] us, O God [0430] of our salvation [03468], and gather us together [06908], and deliver [05337] us from the heathen [01471], that we may give thanks [03034] to thy holy [06944] name [08034], and glory [07623] in thy praise [08416]. 13 16 36 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] for ever [05769] and ever [05769]. And all the people [05971] said [0559], Amen [0543], and praised [01984] the LORD [03068]. 13 16 37 So he left [05800] there before [06440] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] Asaph [0623] and his brethren [0251], to minister [08334] before [06440] the ark [0727] continually [08548], as every day's [03117] work [01697] required [03117]: 13 16 38 And Obededom [05654] with their brethren [0251], threescore [08346] and eight [08083]; Obededom [05654] also the son [01121] of Jeduthun [03038] and Hosah [02621] to be porters [07778]: 13 16 39 And Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and his brethren [0251] the priests [03548], before [06440] the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068] in the high place [01116] that was at Gibeon [01391], 13 16 40 To offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068] upon the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930] continually [08548] morning [01242] and evening [06153], and to do according to all that is written [03789] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068], which he commanded [06680] Israel [03478]; 13 16 41 And with them Heman [01968] and Jeduthun [03038], and the rest [07605] that were chosen [01305], who were expressed [05344] by name [08034], to give thanks [03034] to the LORD [03068], because his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]; 13 16 42 And with them Heman [01968] and Jeduthun [03038] with trumpets [02689] and cymbals [04700] for those that should make a sound [08085], and with musical [07892] instruments [03627] of God [0430]. And the sons [01121] of Jeduthun [03038] were porters [08179]. 13 16 43 And all the people [05971] departed [03212] every man [0376] to his house [01004]: and David [01732] returned [05437] to bless [01288] his house [01004]. 13 17 1 Now it came to pass, as David [01732] sat [03427] in his house [01004], that David [01732] said [0559] to Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], Lo, I dwell [03427] in an house [01004] of cedars [0730], but the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] remaineth under curtains [03407]. 13 17 2 Then Nathan [05416] said [0559] unto David [01732], Do [06213] all that is in thine heart [03824]; for God [0430] is with thee. 13 17 3 And it came to pass the same night [03915], that the word [01697] of God [0430] came to Nathan [05416], saying [0559], 13 17 4 Go [03212] and tell [0559] David [01732] my servant [05650], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Thou shalt not build [01129] me an house [01004] to dwell in [03427]: 13 17 5 For I have not dwelt in [03427] an house [01004] since the day [03117] that I brought up [05927] Israel [03478] unto this day [03117]; but have gone from tent [0168] to tent [0168], and from one tabernacle [04908] to another. 13 17 6 Wheresoever I have walked [01980] with all Israel [03478], spake [01696] I a word [01697] to any [0259] of the judges [08199] of Israel [03478], whom I commanded [06680] to feed [07462] my people [05971], saying [0559], Why have ye not built [01129] me an house [01004] of cedars [0730]? 13 17 7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say [0559] unto my servant [05650] David [01732], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I took [03947] thee from the sheepcote [05116], even from following [0310] the sheep [06629], that thou shouldest be ruler [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478]: 13 17 8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked [01980], and have cut off [03772] all thine enemies [0341] from before [06440] thee, and have made [06213] thee a name [08034] like the name [08034] of the great men [01419] that are in the earth [0776]. 13 17 9 Also I will ordain [07760] a place [04725] for my people [05971] Israel [03478], and will plant [05193] them, and they shall dwell [07931] in their place, and shall be moved [07264] no more; neither shall the children [01121] of wickedness [05766] waste [01086] them any more [03254], as at the beginning [07223], 13 17 10 And since the time [03117] that I commanded [06680] judges [08199] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478]. Moreover I will subdue [03665] all thine enemies [0341]. Furthermore I tell [05046] thee that the LORD [03068] will build [01129] thee an house [01004]. 13 17 11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days [03117] be expired [04390] that thou must go [03212] to be with thy fathers [01], that I will raise up [06965] thy seed [02233] after [0310] thee, which shall be of thy sons [01121]; and I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04438]. 13 17 12 He shall build [01129] me an house [01004], and I will stablish [03559] his throne [03678] for [05704] ever [05769]. 13 17 13 I will be his father [01], and he shall be my son [01121]: and I will not take [05493] my mercy [02617] away [05493] from him, as I took [05493] it from him that was before [06440] thee: 13 17 14 But I will settle [05975] him in mine house [01004] and in my kingdom [04438] for ever [05769]: and his throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] evermore [05769]. 13 17 15 According to all these words [01697], and according to all this vision [02377], so did Nathan [05416] speak [01696] unto David [01732]. 13 17 16 And David [01732] the king [04428] came [0935] and sat [03427] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Who am I, O LORD [03068] God [0430], and what is mine house [01004], that thou hast brought [0935] me hitherto [01988]? 13 17 17 And yet this was a small thing [06994] in thine eyes [05869], O God [0430]; for thou hast also spoken [01696] of thy servant's [05650] house [01004] for a great while to come [07350], and hast regarded [07200] me according to the estate [08448] of a man [0120] of high degree [04609], O LORD [03068] God [0430]. 13 17 18 What can [03254] David [01732] speak more [03254] to thee for the honour [03519] of thy servant [05650]? for thou knowest [03045] thy servant [05650]. 13 17 19 O LORD [03068], for thy servant's [05650] sake, and according to thine own heart [03820], hast thou done [06213] all this greatness [01420], in making known [03045] all these great things [01420]. 13 17 20 O LORD [03068], there is none like thee, neither is there any God [0430] beside [02108] thee, according to all that we have heard [08085] with our ears [0241]. 13 17 21 And what one [0259] nation [01471] in the earth [0776] is like thy people [05971] Israel [03478], whom God [0430] went [01980] to redeem [06299] to be his own people [05971], to make [07760] thee a name [08034] of greatness [01420] and terribleness [03372], by driving out [01644] nations [01471] from before [06440] thy people [05971], whom thou hast redeemed [06299] out of Egypt [04714]? 13 17 22 For thy people [05971] Israel [03478] didst thou make [05414] thine own people [05971] for [05704] ever [05769]; and thou, LORD [03068], becamest their God [0430]. 13 17 23 Therefore now, LORD [03068], let the thing [01697] that thou hast spoken [01696] concerning thy servant [05650] and concerning his house [01004] be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769], and do [06213] as thou hast said [01696]. 13 17 24 Let it even be established [0539], that thy name [08034] may be magnified [01431] for [05704] ever [05769], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is the God [0430] of Israel [03478], even a God [0430] to Israel [03478]: and let the house [01004] of David [01732] thy servant [05650] be established [03559] before [06440] thee. 13 17 25 For thou, O my God [0430], hast told [01540] [0241] thy servant [05650] that thou wilt build [01129] him an house [01004]: therefore thy servant [05650] hath found [04672] in his heart to pray [06419] before [06440] thee. 13 17 26 And now, LORD [03068], thou art God [0430], and hast promised [01696] this goodness [02896] unto thy servant [05650]: 13 17 27 Now therefore let it please [02974] thee to bless [01288] the house [01004] of thy servant [05650], that it may be before [06440] thee for ever [05769]: for thou blessest [01288], O LORD [03068], and it shall be blessed [01288] for ever [05769]. 13 18 1 Now after this [0310] it came to pass, that David [01732] smote [05221] the Philistines [06430], and subdued [03665] them, and took [03947] Gath [01661] and her towns [01323] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. 13 18 2 And he smote [05221] Moab [04124]; and the Moabites [04124] became David's [01732] servants [05650], and brought [05375] gifts [04503]. 13 18 3 And David [01732] smote [05221] Hadarezer [01928] king [04428] of Zobah [06678] unto Hamath [02574], as he went [03212] to stablish [05324] his dominion [03027] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]. 13 18 4 And David [01732] took [03920] from him a thousand [0505] chariots [07393], and seven [07651] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571], and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] footmen [0376] [07273]: David [01732] also houghed [06131] all the chariot [07393] horses, but reserved [03498] of them an hundred [03967] chariots [07393]. 13 18 5 And when the Syrians [0758] of Damascus [01834] came [0935] to help [05826] Hadarezer [01928] king [04428] of Zobah [06678], David [01732] slew [05221] of the Syrians [0758] two [08147] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 13 18 6 Then David [01732] put [07760] garrisons in Syriadamascus [0758] [01834]; and the Syrians [0758] became David's [01732] servants [05650], and brought [05375] gifts [04503]. Thus the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980]. 13 18 7 And David [01732] took [03947] the shields [07982] of gold [02091] that were on the servants [05650] of Hadarezer [01928], and brought [0935] them to Jerusalem [03389]. 13 18 8 Likewise from Tibhath [02880], and from Chun [03560], cities [05892] of Hadarezer [01928], brought [03947] David [01732] very [03966] much [07227] brass [05178], wherewith Solomon [08010] made [06213] the brasen [05178] sea [03220], and the pillars [05982], and the vessels [03627] of brass [05178]. 13 18 9 Now when Tou [08583] king [04428] of Hamath [02574] heard [08085] how David [01732] had smitten [05221] all the host [02428] of Hadarezer [01928] king [04428] of Zobah [06678]; 13 18 10 He sent [07971] Hadoram [01913] his son [01121] to king [04428] David [01732], to enquire [07592] of his welfare [07965], and to congratulate [01288] him, because he had fought [03898] against Hadarezer [01928], and smitten [05221] him; (for Hadarezer [01928] had war [0376] [04421] with Tou [08583];) and with him all manner of vessels [03627] of gold [02091] and silver [03701] and brass [05178]. 13 18 11 Them also king [04428] David [01732] dedicated [06942] unto the LORD [03068], with the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] that he brought [05375] from all these nations [01471]; from Edom [0123], and from Moab [04124], and from the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and from the Philistines [06430], and from Amalek [06002]. 13 18 12 Moreover Abishai [052] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] slew [05221] of the Edomites [0123] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417] eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505]. 13 18 13 And he put [07760] garrisons [05333] in Edom [0123]; and all the Edomites [0123] became David's [01732] servants [05650]. Thus the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980]. 13 18 14 So David [01732] reigned [04427] over all Israel [03478], and executed [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666] among all his people [05971]. 13 18 15 And Joab [03097] the son [01121] of Zeruiah [06870] was over the host [06635]; and Jehoshaphat [03092] the son [01121] of Ahilud [0286], recorder [02142]. 13 18 16 And Zadok [06659] the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], and Abimelech [040] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054], were the priests [03548]; and Shavsha [07798] was scribe [05608]; 13 18 17 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over the Cherethites [03774] and the Pelethites [06432]; and the sons [01121] of David [01732] were chief [07223] about [03027] the king [04428]. 13 19 1 Now it came to pass after this [0310], that Nahash [05176] the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] died [04191], and his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 13 19 2 And David [01732] said [0559], I will shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto Hanun [02586] the son [01121] of Nahash [05176], because his father [01] shewed [06213] kindness [02617] to me. And David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to comfort [05162] him concerning his father [01]. So the servants [05650] of David [01732] came [0935] into the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] to Hanun [02586], to comfort [05162] him. 13 19 3 But the princes [08269] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] said [0559] to Hanun [02586], Thinkest [05869] thou that David [01732] doth honour [03513] thy father [01], that he hath sent [07971] comforters [05162] unto thee? are not his servants [05650] come [0935] unto thee for to search [02713], and to overthrow [02015], and to spy out [07270] the land [0776]? 13 19 4 Wherefore Hanun [02586] took [03947] David's [01732] servants [05650], and shaved [01548] them, and cut off [03772] their garments [04063] in the midst [02677] hard by their buttocks [04667], and sent them away [07971]. 13 19 5 Then there went [03212] certain, and told [05046] David [01732] how the men [0582] were served. And he sent [07971] to meet [07125] them: for the men [0582] were greatly [03966] ashamed [03637]. And the king [04428] said [0559], Tarry [03427] at Jericho [03405] until your beards [02206] be grown [06779], and then return [07725]. 13 19 6 And when the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] saw [07200] that they had made themselves odious [0887] to David [01732], Hanun [02586] and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] sent [07971] a thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701] to hire [07936] them chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571] out of Mesopotamia [0763], and out of Syriamaachah [0758] [04601], and out of Zobah [06678]. 13 19 7 So they hired [07936] thirty [07970] and two [08147] thousand [0505] chariots [07393], and the king [04428] of Maachah [04601] and his people [05971]; who came [0935] and pitched [02583] before [06440] Medeba [04311]. And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] gathered themselves together [0622] from their cities [05892], and came [0935] to battle [04421]. 13 19 8 And when David [01732] heard [08085] of it, he sent [07971] Joab [03097], and all the host [06635] of the mighty men [01368]. 13 19 9 And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] came out [03318], and put the battle [04421] in array [06186] before the gate [06607] of the city [05892]: and the kings [04428] that were come [0935] were by themselves in the field [07704]. 13 19 10 Now when Joab [03097] saw [07200] that the battle [04421] was set against him before [06440] and behind [0268], he chose out [0977] of all the choice [0977] of Israel [03478], and put them in array [06186] against [07125] the Syrians [0758]. 13 19 11 And the rest [03499] of the people [05971] he delivered [05414] unto the hand [03027] of Abishai [052] his brother [0251], and they set themselves in array [06186] against [07125] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 13 19 12 And he said [0559], If the Syrians [0758] be too strong [02388] for me, then thou shalt help [08668] me: but if the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] be too strong [02388] for thee, then I will help [03467] thee. 13 19 13 Be of good courage [02388], and let us behave ourselves valiantly [02388] for our people [05971], and for the cities [05892] of our God [0430]: and let the LORD [03068] do [06213] that which is good [02896] in his sight [05869]. 13 19 14 So Joab [03097] and the people [05971] that were with him drew nigh [05066] before [06440] the Syrians [0758] unto the battle [04421]; and they fled [05127] before [06440] him. 13 19 15 And when the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] saw [07200] that the Syrians [0758] were fled [05127], they likewise fled [05127] before [06440] Abishai [052] his brother [0251], and entered [0935] into the city [05892]. Then Joab [03097] came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 13 19 16 And when the Syrians [0758] saw [07200] that they were put to the worse [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478], they sent [07971] messengers [04397], and drew forth [03318] the Syrians [0758] that were beyond [05676] the river [05104]: and Shophach [07780] the captain [08269] of the host [06635] of Hadarezer [01928] went before [06440] them. 13 19 17 And it was told [05046] David [01732]; and he gathered [0622] all Israel [03478], and passed over [05674] Jordan [03383], and came [0935] upon them, and set the battle in array [06186] against them. So when David [01732] had put the battle [04421] in array [06186] against [07125] the Syrians [0758], they fought [03898] with him. 13 19 18 But the Syrians [0758] fled [05127] before [06440] Israel [03478]; and David [01732] slew [02026] of the Syrians [0758] seven [07651] thousand [0505] men which fought in chariots [07393], and forty [0705] thousand [0505] footmen [0376] [07273], and killed [04191] Shophach [07780] the captain [08269] of the host [06635]. 13 19 19 And when the servants [05650] of Hadarezer [01928] saw [07200] that they were put to the worse [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478], they made peace [07999] with David [01732], and became his servants [05647]: neither would [014] the Syrians [0758] help [03467] the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] any more. 13 20 1 And it came to pass, that after [06256] the year [08141] was expired [08666], at the time [06256] that kings [04428] go out [03318] to battle, Joab [03097] led forth [05090] the power [02428] of the army [06635], and wasted [07843] the country [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and came [0935] and besieged [06696] Rabbah [07237]. But David [01732] tarried [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]. And Joab [03097] smote [05221] Rabbah [07237], and destroyed [02040] it. 13 20 2 And David [01732] took [03947] the crown [05850] of their king [04428] from off his head [07218], and found [04672] it to weigh [04948] a talent [03603] of gold [02091], and there were precious [03368] stones [068] in it; and it was set upon David's [01732] head [07218]: and he brought [03318] also exceeding [03966] much [07235] spoil [07998] out of the city [05892]. 13 20 3 And he brought out [03318] the people [05971] that were in it, and cut [07787] them with saws [04050], and with harrows [02757] of iron [01270], and with axes [04050]. Even so dealt [06213] David [01732] with all the cities [05892] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. And David [01732] and all the people [05971] returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 13 20 4 And it came to pass after this [0310], that there arose [05975] war [04421] at Gezer [01507] with the Philistines [06430]; at which time [0227] Sibbechai [05444] the Hushathite [02843] slew [05221] Sippai [05598], that was of the children [03211] of the giant [07497]: and they were subdued [03665]. 13 20 5 And there was war [04421] again with the Philistines [06430]; and Elhanan [0445] the son [01121] of Jair [03265] slew [05221] Lahmi [03902] the brother [0251] of Goliath [01555] the Gittite [01663], whose spear [02595] staff [06086] was like a weaver's [0707] beam [04500]. 13 20 6 And yet again there was war [04421] at Gath [01661], where was a man [0376] of great stature [04060], whose fingers [0676] and toes [0676] were four [0702] and twenty [06242], six [08337] on each hand, and six [08337] on each foot: and he also was the son [03205] of the giant [07497]. 13 20 7 But when he defied [02778] Israel [03478], Jonathan [03083] the son [01121] of Shimea [08092] David's [01732] brother [0251] slew [05221] him. 13 20 8 These [0411] were born [03205] unto the giant [07497] in Gath [01661]; and they fell [05307] by the hand [03027] of David [01732], and by the hand [03027] of his servants [05650]. 13 21 1 And Satan [07854] stood up [05975] against Israel [03478], and provoked [05496] David [01732] to number [04487] Israel [03478]. 13 21 2 And David [01732] said [0559] to Joab [03097] and to the rulers [08269] of the people [05971], Go [03212], number [05608] Israel [03478] from Beersheba [0884] even to Dan [01835]; and bring [0935] the number [04557] of them to me, that I may know [03045] it. 13 21 3 And Joab [03097] answered [0559], The LORD [03068] make his people [05971] an hundred [03967] times [06471] so many more [03254] as they [01992] be: but, my lord [0113] the king [04428], are they not all my lord's [0113] servants [05650]? why then doth my lord [0113] require [01245] this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass [0819] to Israel [03478]? 13 21 4 Nevertheless the king's [04428] word [01697] prevailed [02388] against Joab [03097]. Wherefore Joab [03097] departed [03318], and went [01980] throughout all Israel [03478], and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 13 21 5 And Joab [03097] gave [05414] the sum [04557] of the number [04662] of the people [05971] unto David [01732]. And all they of Israel [03478] were a thousand [0505] thousand [0505] and an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] sword [02719]: and Judah [03063] was four [0702] hundred [03967] threescore and ten [07657] thousand [0505] men [0376] that drew [08025] sword [02719]. 13 21 6 But Levi [03878] and Benjamin [01144] counted [06485] he not among [08432] them: for the king's [04428] word [01697] was abominable [08581] to Joab [03097]. 13 21 7 And God [0430] was displeased [03415] [05869] with this thing [01697]; therefore he smote [05221] Israel [03478]. 13 21 8 And David [01732] said [0559] unto God [0430], I have sinned [02398] greatly [03966], because I have done [06213] this thing [01697]: but now, I beseech thee, do away [05674] the iniquity [05771] of thy servant [05650]; for I have done very [03966] foolishly [05528]. 13 21 9 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Gad [01410], David's [01732] seer [02374], saying [0559], 13 21 10 Go [03212] and tell [01696] David [01732], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], I offer [05186] thee three [07969] things: choose [0977] thee one [0259] of them [02007], that I may do [06213] it unto thee. 13 21 11 So Gad [01410] came [0935] to David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Choose [06901] thee 13 21 12 Either three [07969] years [08141]' famine [07458]; or three [07969] months [02320] to be destroyed [05595] before [06440] thy foes [06862], while that the sword [02719] of thine enemies [0341] overtaketh [05381] thee; or [0518] else three [07969] days [03117] the sword [02719] of the LORD [03068], even the pestilence [01698], in the land [0776], and the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] destroying [07843] throughout all the coasts [01366] of Israel [03478]. Now therefore advise [07200] thyself what word [01697] I shall bring again [07725] to him that sent [07971] me. 13 21 13 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Gad [01410], I am in a great [03966] strait [06887]: let me fall [05307] now into the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068]; for very [03966] great [07227] are his mercies [07356]: but let me not fall [05307] into the hand [03027] of man [0120]. 13 21 14 So the LORD [03068] sent [05414] pestilence [01698] upon Israel [03478]: and there fell [05307] of Israel [03478] seventy [07657] thousand [0505] men [0376]. 13 21 15 And God [0430] sent [07971] an angel [04397] unto Jerusalem [03389] to destroy [07843] it: and as he was destroying [07843], the LORD [03068] beheld [07200], and he repented [05162] him of the evil [07451], and said [0559] to the angel [04397] that destroyed [07843], It is enough [07227], stay [07503] now thine hand [03027]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] stood [05975] by the threshingfloor [01637] of Ornan [0771] the Jebusite [02983]. 13 21 16 And David [01732] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and saw [07200] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] stand [05975] between the earth [0776] and the heaven [08064], having a drawn [08025] sword [02719] in his hand [03027] stretched out [05186] over Jerusalem [03389]. Then David [01732] and the elders [02205] of Israel, who were clothed [03680] in sackcloth [08242], fell [05307] upon their faces [06440]. 13 21 17 And David [01732] said [0559] unto God [0430], Is it not I that commanded [0559] the people [05971] to be numbered [04487]? even I it is that have sinned [02398] and done evil [07489] indeed [07489]; but as for these sheep [06629], what have they done [06213]? let thine hand [03027], I pray thee, O LORD [03068] my God [0430], be on me, and on my father's [01] house [01004]; but not on thy people [05971], that they should be plagued [04046]. 13 21 18 Then the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] commanded [0559] Gad [01410] to say [0559] to David [01732], that David [01732] should go up [05927], and set up [06965] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] in the threshingfloor [01637] of Ornan [0771] the Jebusite [02983]. 13 21 19 And David [01732] went up [05927] at the saying [01697] of Gad [01410], which he spake [01696] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 13 21 20 And Ornan [0771] turned back [07725], and saw [07200] the angel [04397]; and his four [0702] sons [01121] with him hid [02244] themselves. Now Ornan [0771] was threshing [01758] wheat [02406]. 13 21 21 And as David [01732] came [0935] to Ornan [0771], Ornan [0771] looked [05027] and saw [07200] David [01732], and went out [03318] of the threshingfloor [01637], and bowed [07812] himself to David [01732] with his face [0639] to the ground [0776]. 13 21 22 Then David [01732] said [0559] to Ornan [0771], Grant [05414] me the place [04725] of this threshingfloor [01637], that I may build [01129] an altar [04196] therein unto the LORD [03068]: thou shalt grant [05414] it me for the full [04392] price [03701]: that the plague [04046] may be stayed [06113] from the people [05971]. 13 21 23 And Ornan [0771] said [0559] unto David [01732], Take [03947] it to thee, and let my lord [0113] the king [04428] do [06213] that which is good [02896] in his eyes [05869]: lo [07200], I give [05414] thee the oxen [01241] also for burnt offerings [05930], and the threshing instruments [04173] for wood [06086], and the wheat [02406] for the meat offering [04503]; I give [05414] it all. 13 21 24 And king [04428] David [01732] said [0559] to Ornan [0771], Nay; but I will verily [07069] buy [07069] it for the full [04392] price [03701]: for I will not take [05375] that which is thine for the LORD [03068], nor offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] without cost [02600]. 13 21 25 So David [01732] gave [05414] to Ornan [0771] for the place [04725] six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels [08255] of gold [02091] by weight [04948]. 13 21 26 And David [01732] built [01129] there an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002], and called [07121] upon the LORD [03068]; and he answered [06030] him from heaven [08064] by fire [0784] upon the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930]. 13 21 27 And the LORD [03068] commanded [0559] the angel [04397]; and he put up [07725] his sword [02719] again [07725] into the sheath [05084] thereof. 13 21 28 At that time [06256] when David [01732] saw [07200] that the LORD [03068] had answered [06030] him in the threshingfloor [01637] of Ornan [0771] the Jebusite [02983], then he sacrificed [02076] there. 13 21 29 For the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068], which Moses [04872] made [06213] in the wilderness [04057], and the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], were at that season [06256] in the high place [01116] at Gibeon [01391]. 13 21 30 But David [01732] could [03201] not go [03212] before [06440] it to enquire [01875] of God [0430]: for he was afraid [01204] because [06440] of the sword [02719] of the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068]. 13 22 1 Then David [01732] said [0559], This is the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430], and this is the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930] for Israel [03478]. 13 22 2 And David [01732] commanded [0559] to gather together [03664] the strangers [01616] that were in the land [0776] of Israel [03478]; and he set [05975] masons [02672] to hew [02672] wrought [01496] stones [068] to build [01129] the house [01004] of God [0430]. 13 22 3 And David [01732] prepared [03559] iron [01270] in abundance [07230] for the nails [04548] for the doors [01817] of the gates [08179], and for the joinings [04226]; and brass [05178] in abundance [07230] without weight [04948]; 13 22 4 Also cedar [0730] trees [06086] in abundance [0369] [04557]: for the Zidonians [06722] and they of Tyre [06876] brought [0935] much [07230] cedar [0730] wood [06086] to David [01732]. 13 22 5 And David [01732] said [0559], Solomon [08010] my son [01121] is young [05288] and tender [07390], and the house [01004] that is to be builded [01129] for the LORD [03068] must be exceeding [04605] magnifical [01431], of fame [08034] and of glory [08597] throughout all countries [0776]: I will therefore now make preparation [03559] for it. So David [01732] prepared [03559] abundantly [07230] before [06440] his death [04194]. 13 22 6 Then he called [07121] for Solomon [08010] his son [01121], and charged [06680] him to build [01129] an house [01004] for the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 13 22 7 And David [01732] said [0559] to Solomon [08010], My son [01121], as for me, it was in my mind [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430]: 13 22 8 But the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], Thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] abundantly [07230], and hast made [06213] great [01419] wars [04421]: thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034], because thou hast shed [08210] much [07227] blood [01818] upon the earth [0776] in my sight [06440]. 13 22 9 Behold, a son [01121] shall be born [03205] to thee, who shall be a man [0376] of rest [04496]; and I will give him rest [05117] from all his enemies [0341] round about [05439]: for his name [08034] shall be Solomon [08010], and I will give [05414] peace [07965] and quietness [08253] unto Israel [03478] in his days [03117]. 13 22 10 He shall build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034]; and he shall be my son [01121], and I will be his father [01]; and I will establish [03559] the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04438] over Israel [03478] for [05704] ever [05769]. 13 22 11 Now, my son [01121], the LORD [03068] be with thee; and prosper [06743] thou, and build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], as he hath said [01696] of thee. 13 22 12 Only the LORD [03068] give [05414] thee wisdom [07922] and understanding [0998], and give thee charge [06680] concerning Israel [03478], that thou mayest keep [08104] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 13 22 13 Then shalt thou prosper [06743], if thou takest heed [08104] to fulfil [06213] the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941] which the LORD [03068] charged [06680] Moses [04872] with concerning Israel [03478]: be strong [02388], and of good courage [0553]; dread [03372] not, nor be dismayed [02865]. 13 22 14 Now, behold, in my trouble [06040] I have prepared [03559] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of gold [02091], and a thousand [0505] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701]; and of brass [05178] and iron [01270] without weight [04948]; for it is in abundance [07230]: timber [06086] also and stone [068] have I prepared [03559]; and thou mayest add [03254] thereto. 13 22 15 Moreover there are workmen [06213] [04399] with thee in abundance [07230], hewers [02672] and workers [02796] of stone [068] and timber [06086], and all manner of cunning men [02450] for every manner of work [04399]. 13 22 16 Of the gold [02091], the silver [03701], and the brass [05178], and the iron [01270], there is no number [04557]. Arise [06965] therefore, and be doing [06213], and the LORD [03068] be with thee. 13 22 17 David [01732] also commanded [06680] all the princes [08269] of Israel [03478] to help [05826] Solomon [08010] his son [01121], saying, 13 22 18 Is not the LORD [03068] your God [0430] with you? and hath he not given you rest [05117] on every side [05439]? for he hath given [05414] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] into mine hand [03027]; and the land [0776] is subdued [03533] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and before [06440] his people [05971]. 13 22 19 Now set [05414] your heart [03824] and your soul [05315] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; arise [06965] therefore, and build [01129] ye the sanctuary [04720] of the LORD [03068] God [0430], to bring [0935] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and the holy [06944] vessels [03627] of God [0430], into the house [01004] that is to be built [01129] to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 13 23 1 So when David [01732] was old [02204] and full [07646] of days [03117], he made Solomon [08010] his son [01121] king [04427] over Israel [03478]. 13 23 2 And he gathered together [0622] all the princes [08269] of Israel [03478], with the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881]. 13 23 3 Now the Levites [03881] were numbered [05608] from the age [01121] of thirty [07970] years [08141] and upward [04605]: and their number [04557] by their polls [01538], man by man [01397], was thirty [07970] and eight [08083] thousand [0505]. 13 23 4 Of which [0428], twenty [06242] and four [0702] thousand [0505] were to set forward [05329] the work [04399] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; and six [08337] thousand [0505] were officers [07860] and judges [08199]: 13 23 5 Moreover four [0702] thousand [0505] were porters [07778]; and four [0702] thousand [0505] praised [01984] the LORD [03068] with the instruments [03627] which I made [06213], said David, to praise [01984] therewith. 13 23 6 And David [01732] divided [02505] them into courses [04256] among the sons [01121] of Levi [03878], namely, Gershon [01648], Kohath [06955], and Merari [04847]. 13 23 7 Of the Gershonites [01649] were, Laadan [03936], and Shimei [08096]. 13 23 8 The sons [01121] of Laadan [03936]; the chief [07218] was Jehiel [03171], and Zetham [02241], and Joel [03100], three [07969]. 13 23 9 The sons [01121] of Shimei [08096]; Shelomith [08019] [08013], and Haziel [02381], and Haran [02039], three [07969]. These were the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Laadan [03936]. 13 23 10 And the sons [01121] of Shimei [08096] were, Jahath [03189], Zina [02126], and Jeush [03266], and Beriah [01283]. These four [0702] were the sons [01121] of Shimei [08096]. 13 23 11 And Jahath [03189] was the chief [07218], and Zizah [02125] the second [08145]: but Jeush [03266] and Beriah [01283] had not many [07235] sons [01121]; therefore they were in one [0259] reckoning [06486], according to their father's [01] house [01004]. 13 23 12 The sons [01121] of Kohath [06955]; Amram [06019], Izhar [03324], Hebron [02275], and Uzziel [05816], four [0702]. 13 23 13 The sons [01121] of Amram [06019]; Aaron [0175] and Moses [04872]: and Aaron [0175] was separated [0914], that he should sanctify [06942] the most [06944] holy things [06944], he and his sons [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], to burn incense [06999] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to minister [08334] unto him, and to bless [01288] in his name [08034] for [05704] ever [05769]. 13 23 14 Now concerning Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430], his sons [01121] were named [07121] of the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878]. 13 23 15 The sons [01121] of Moses [04872] were, Gershom [01647], and Eliezer [0461]. 13 23 16 Of the sons [01121] of Gershom [01647], Shebuel [07619] was the chief [07218]. 13 23 17 And the sons [01121] of Eliezer [0461] were, Rehabiah [07345] the chief [07218]. And Eliezer [0461] had none other [0312] sons [01121]; but the sons [01121] of Rehabiah [07345] were very [04605] many [07235]. 13 23 18 Of the sons [01121] of Izhar [03324]; Shelomith [08019] the chief [07218]. 13 23 19 Of the sons [01121] of Hebron [02275]; Jeriah [03404] the first [07218], Amariah [0568] the second [08145], Jahaziel [03166] the third [07992], and Jekameam [03360] the fourth [07243]. 13 23 20 Of the sons [01121] of Uzziel [05816]; Michah [04318] the first [07218], and Jesiah [03449] the second [08145]. 13 23 21 The sons [01121] of Merari [04847]; Mahli [04249], and Mushi [04187]. The sons [01121] of Mahli [04249]; Eleazar [0499], and Kish [07027]. 13 23 22 And Eleazar [0499] died [04191], and had no sons [01121], but daughters [01323]: and their brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Kish [07027] took [05375] them. 13 23 23 The sons [01121] of Mushi [04187]; Mahli [04249], and Eder [05740], and Jeremoth [03406], three [07969]. 13 23 24 These were the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] after the house [01004] of their fathers [01]; even the chief [07218] of the fathers [01], as they were counted [06485] by number [04557] of names [08034] by their polls [01538], that did [06213] the work [04399] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], from the age [01121] of twenty [06242] years [08141] and upward [04605]. 13 23 25 For David [01732] said [0559], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] hath given rest [05117] unto his people [05971], that they may dwell [07931] in Jerusalem [03389] for ever [05769]: 13 23 26 And also unto the Levites [03881]; they shall no more carry [05375] the tabernacle [04908], nor any vessels [03627] of it for the service [05656] thereof. 13 23 27 For by the last [0314] words [01697] of David [01732] the Levites [03881] were numbered [04557] from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605]: 13 23 28 Because their office [04612] was to wait [03027] on the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], in the courts [02691], and in the chambers [03957], and in the purifying [02893] of all holy things [06944], and the work [04639] of the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430]; 13 23 29 Both for the shewbread [03899] [04635], and for the fine flour [05560] for meat offering [04503], and for the unleavened [04682] cakes [07550], and for that which is baked in the pan [04227], and for that which is fried [07246], and for all manner of measure [04884] and size [04060]; 13 23 30 And to stand [05975] every morning [01242] to thank [03034] and praise [01984] the LORD [03068], and likewise at even [06153]; 13 23 31 And to offer [05927] all burnt sacrifices [05930] unto the LORD [03068] in the sabbaths [07676], in the new moons [02320], and on the set feasts [04150], by number [04557], according to the order [04941] commanded unto them, continually [08548] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: 13 23 32 And that they should keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the charge [04931] of the holy [06944] place, and the charge [04931] of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] their brethren [0251], in the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 13 24 1 Now these are the divisions [04256] of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175]. The sons [01121] of Aaron [0175]; Nadab [05070], and Abihu [030], Eleazar [0499], and Ithamar [0385]. 13 24 2 But Nadab [05070] and Abihu [030] died [04191] before [06440] their father [01], and had no children [01121]: therefore Eleazar [0499] and Ithamar [0385] executed the priest's office [03547]. 13 24 3 And David [01732] distributed [02505] them, both Zadok [06659] of the sons [01121] of Eleazar [0499], and Ahimelech [0288] of the sons [01121] of Ithamar [0385], according to their offices [06486] in their service [05656]. 13 24 4 And there were more [07227] chief [07218] men [01397] found [04672] of the sons [01121] of Eleazar [0499] than of the sons [01121] of Ithamar [0385]; and thus were they divided [02505]. Among the sons [01121] of Eleazar [0499] there were sixteen [08337] [06240] chief men [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01], and eight [08083] among the sons [01121] of Ithamar [0385] according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 13 24 5 Thus were they divided [02505] by lot [01486], one sort [0428] with another [0428]; for the governors [08269] of the sanctuary [06944], and governors [08269] of the house of God [0430], were of the sons [01121] of Eleazar [0499], and of the sons [01121] of Ithamar [0385]. 13 24 6 And Shemaiah [08098] the son [01121] of Nethaneel [05417] the scribe [05608], one of the Levites [03881], wrote [03789] them before [06440] the king [04428], and the princes [08269], and Zadok [06659] the priest [03548], and Ahimelech [0288] the son [01121] of Abiathar [054], and before the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the priests [03548] and Levites [03881]: one [0259] principal [01] household [01004] being taken [0270] for Eleazar [0499], and one taken [0270] for Ithamar [0385]. 13 24 7 Now the first [07223] lot [01486] came forth [03318] to Jehoiarib [03080], the second [08145] to Jedaiah [03048], 13 24 8 The third [07992] to Harim [02766], the fourth [07243] to Seorim [08188], 13 24 9 The fifth [02549] to Malchijah [04441], the sixth [08345] to Mijamin [04326], 13 24 10 The seventh [07637] to Hakkoz [06976], the eighth [08066] to Abijah [029], 13 24 11 The ninth [08671] to Jeshua [03442], the tenth [06224] to Shecaniah [07935], 13 24 12 The eleventh [06249] [06240] to Eliashib [0475], the twelfth [08147] [06240] to Jakim [03356], 13 24 13 The thirteenth [07969] [06240] to Huppah [02647], the fourteenth [0702] [06240] to Jeshebeab [03428], 13 24 14 The fifteenth [02568] [06240] to Bilgah [01083], the sixteenth [08337] [06240] to Immer [0564], 13 24 15 The seventeenth [07651] [06240] to Hezir [02387], the eighteenth [08083] [06240] to Aphses [06483], 13 24 16 The nineteenth [08672] [06240] to Pethahiah [06611], the twentieth [06242] to Jehezekel [03168], 13 24 17 The one [0259] and twentieth [06242] to Jachin [03199], the two [08147] and twentieth [06242] to Gamul [01577], 13 24 18 The three [07969] and twentieth [06242] to Delaiah [01806], the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] to Maaziah [04590]. 13 24 19 These were the orderings [06486] of them in their service [05656] to come [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], according to their manner [04941], under [03027] Aaron [0175] their father [01], as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] had commanded [06680] him. 13 24 20 And the rest [03498] of the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] were these: Of the sons [01121] of Amram [06019]; Shubael [07619]: of the sons [01121] of Shubael [07619]; Jehdeiah [03165]. 13 24 21 Concerning Rehabiah [07345]: of the sons [01121] of Rehabiah [07345], the first [07218] was Isshiah [03449]. 13 24 22 Of the Izharites [03325]; Shelomoth [08013]: of the sons [01121] of Shelomoth [08013]; Jahath [03189]. 13 24 23 And the sons [01121] of Hebron; Jeriah [03404] the first, Amariah [0568] the second [08145], Jahaziel [03166] the third [07992], Jekameam [03360] the fourth [07243]. 13 24 24 Of the sons [01121] of Uzziel [05816]; Michah [04318]: of the sons [01121] of Michah [04318]; Shamir [08053]. 13 24 25 The brother [0251] of Michah [04318] was Isshiah [03449]: of the sons [01121] of Isshiah [03449]; Zechariah [02148]. 13 24 26 The sons [01121] of Merari [04847] were Mahli [04249] and Mushi [04187]: the sons [01121] of Jaaziah [03269]; Beno [01121]. 13 24 27 The sons [01121] of Merari [04847] by Jaaziah [03269]; Beno [01121], and Shoham [07719], and Zaccur [02139], and Ibri [05681]. 13 24 28 Of Mahli [04249] came Eleazar [0499], who had no sons [01121]. 13 24 29 Concerning Kish [07027]: the son [01121] of Kish [07027] was Jerahmeel [03396]. 13 24 30 The sons [01121] also of Mushi [04187]; Mahli [04249], and Eder [05740], and Jerimoth [03406]. These were the sons [01121] of the Levites [03881] after the house [01004] of their fathers [01]. 13 24 31 These likewise cast [05307] lots [01486] over against [05980] their brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] in the presence [06440] of David [01732] the king [04428], and Zadok [06659], and Ahimelech [0288], and the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the priests [03548] and Levites [03881], even the principal [07218] fathers [01] over against [05980] their younger [06996] brethren [0251]. 13 25 1 Moreover David [01732] and the captains [08269] of the host [06635] separated [0914] to the service [05656] of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623], and of Heman [01968], and of Jeduthun [03038], who should prophesy [05012] [05030] with harps [03658], with psalteries [05035], and with cymbals [04700]: and the number [04557] of the workmen [0582] [04399] according to their service [05656] was: 13 25 2 Of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623]; Zaccur [02139], and Joseph [03130], and Nethaniah [05418], and Asarelah [0841], the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623] under the hands [03027] of Asaph [0623], which prophesied [05012] according to the order [03027] of the king [04428]. 13 25 3 Of Jeduthun [03038]: the sons [01121] of Jeduthun [03038]; Gedaliah [01436], and Zeri [06874], and Jeshaiah [03470], Hashabiah [02811], and Mattithiah [04993], six [08337], under the hands [03027] of their father [01] Jeduthun [03038], who prophesied [05012] with a harp [03658], to give thanks [03034] and to praise [01984] the LORD [03068]. 13 25 4 Of Heman [01968]: the sons [01121] of Heman [01968]; Bukkiah [01232], Mattaniah [04983], Uzziel [05816], Shebuel [07619], and Jerimoth [03406], Hananiah [02608], Hanani [02607], Eliathah [0448], Giddalti [01437], and Romamtiezer [07320], Joshbekashah [03436], Mallothi [04413], Hothir [01956], and Mahazioth [04238]: 13 25 5 All these were the sons [01121] of Heman [01968] the king's [04428] seer [02374] in the words [01697] of God [0430], to lift up [07311] the horn [07161]. And God [0430] gave [05414] to Heman [01968] fourteen [0702] [06240] sons [01121] and three [07969] daughters [01323]. 13 25 6 All these were under the hands [03027] of their father [01] for song

All these were the rulers [08269] of the substance [07399] which was king [04428] David's [01732]. 13 27 32 Also Jonathan [03083] David's [01732] uncle [01730] was a counsellor [03289], a wise [0995] man [0376], and a scribe [05608]: and Jehiel [03171] the son [01121] of Hachmoni [02453] was with the king's [04428] sons [01121]: 13 27 33 And Ahithophel [0302] was the king's [04428] counsellor [03289]: and Hushai [02365] the Archite [0757] was the king's [04428] companion [07453]: 13 27 34 And after [0310] Ahithophel [0302] was Jehoiada [03077] the son [01121] of Benaiah [01141], and Abiathar [054]: and the general [08269] of the king's [04428] army [06635] was Joab [03097]. 13 28 1 And David [01732] assembled [06950] all the princes [08269] of Israel [03478], the princes [08269] of the tribes [07626], and the captains [08269] of the companies [04256] that ministered [08334] to the king [04428] by course [04256], and the captains [08269] over the thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over the hundreds [03967], and the stewards [08269] over all the substance [07399] and possession [04735] of the king [04428], and of his sons [01121], with the officers [05631], and with the mighty men [01368], and with all the valiant men [02428], unto Jerusalem [03389]. 13 28 2 Then David [01732] the king [04428] stood up [06965] upon his feet [07272], and said [0559], Hear [08085] me, my brethren [0251], and my people [05971]: As for me, I had in mine heart [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] of rest [04496] for the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], and for the footstool [01916] [07272] of our God [0430], and had made ready [03559] for the building [01129]: 13 28 3 But God [0430] said [0559] unto me, Thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], because thou hast been a man [0376] of war [04421], and hast shed [08210] blood [01818]. 13 28 4 Howbeit the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] chose [0977] me before all the house [01004] of my father [01] to be king [04428] over Israel [03478] for ever [05769]: for he hath chosen [0977] Judah [03063] to be the ruler [05057]; and of the house [01004] of Judah [03063], the house [01004] of my father [01]; and among the sons [01121] of my father [01] he liked [07521] me to make me king [04427] over all Israel [03478]: 13 28 5 And of all my sons [01121], (for the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] me many [07227] sons [01121],) he hath chosen [0977] Solomon [08010] my son [01121] to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of the kingdom [04438] of the LORD [03068] over Israel [03478]. 13 28 6 And he said [0559] unto me, Solomon [08010] thy son [01121], he shall build [01129] my house [01004] and my courts [02691]: for I have chosen [0977] him to be my son [01121], and I will be his father [01]. 13 28 7 Moreover I will establish [03559] his kingdom [04438] for ever [05769], if he be constant [02388] to do [06213] my commandments [04687] and my judgments [04941], as at this day [03117]. 13 28 8 Now therefore in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478] the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068], and in the audience [0241] of our God [0430], keep [08104] and seek [01875] for all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: that ye may possess [03423] this good [02896] land [0776], and leave it for an inheritance [05157] for your children [01121] after [0310] you for [05704] ever [05769]. 13 28 9 And thou, Solomon [08010] my son [01121], know [03045] thou the God [0430] of thy father [01], and serve [05647] him with a perfect [08003] heart [03820] and with a willing [02655] mind [05315]: for the LORD [03068] searcheth [01875] all hearts [03824], and understandeth [0995] all the imaginations [03336] of the thoughts [04284]: if thou seek [01875] him, he will be found [04672] of thee; but if thou forsake [05800] him, he will cast thee off [02186] for ever [05703]. 13 28 10 Take heed [07200] now; for the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] thee to build [01129] an house [01004] for the sanctuary [04720]: be strong [02388], and do [06213] it. 13 28 11 Then David [01732] gave [05414] to Solomon [08010] his son [01121] the pattern [08403] of the porch [0197], and of the houses [01004] thereof, and of the treasuries [01597] thereof, and of the upper chambers [05944] thereof, and of the inner [06442] parlours [02315] thereof, and of the place [01004] of the mercy seat [03727], 13 28 12 And the pattern [08403] of all that he had by the spirit [07307], of the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and of all the chambers [03957] round about [05439], of the treasuries [0214] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and of the treasuries [0214] of the dedicated things [06944]: 13 28 13 Also for the courses [04256] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and for all the work [04399] of the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and for all the vessels [03627] of service [05656] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 13 28 14 He gave of gold [02091] by weight [04948] for things of gold [02091], for all instruments [03627] of all manner of service [05656]; silver also for all instruments [03627] of silver [03701] by weight [04948], for all instruments [03627] of every kind of service [05656]: 13 28 15 Even the weight [04948] for the candlesticks [04501] of gold [02091], and for their lamps [05216] of gold [02091], by weight [04948] for every candlestick [04501], and for the lamps [05216] thereof: and for the candlesticks [04501] of silver [03701] by weight [04948], both for the candlestick [04501], and also for the lamps [05216] thereof, according to the use [05656] of every candlestick [04501]. 13 28 16 And by weight [04948] he gave gold [02091] for the tables [07979] of shewbread [04635], for every table [07979]; and likewise silver [03701] for the tables [07979] of silver [03701]: 13 28 17 Also pure [02889] gold [02091] for the fleshhooks [04207], and the bowls [04219], and the cups [07184]: and for the golden [02091] basons [03713] he gave gold by weight [04948] for every bason [03713]; and likewise silver by weight [04948] for every bason [03713] of silver [03701]: 13 28 18 And for the altar [04196] of incense [07004] refined [02212] gold [02091] by weight [04948]; and gold [02091] for the pattern [08403] of the chariot [04818] of the cherubims [03742], that spread out [06566] their wings, and covered [05526] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068]. 13 28 19 All this, said David, the LORD [03068] made me understand [07919] in writing [03791] by his hand [03027] upon me, even all the works [04399] of this pattern [08403]. 13 28 20 And David [01732] said [0559] to Solomon [08010] his son [01121], Be strong [02388] and of good courage [0553], and do [06213] it: fear [03372] not, nor be dismayed [02865]: for the LORD [03068] God [0430], even my God [0430], will be with thee; he will not fail [07503] thee, nor forsake [05800] thee, until thou hast finished [03615] all the work [04399] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 13 28 21 And, behold, the courses [04256] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], even they shall be with thee for all the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430]: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship [04399] every willing [05081] skilful man [02451], for any manner of service [05656]: also the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] will be wholly at thy commandment [01697]. 13 29 1 Furthermore David [01732] the king [04428] said [0559] unto all the congregation [06951], Solomon [08010] my son [01121], whom alone [0259] God [0430] hath chosen [0977], is yet young [05288] and tender [07390], and the work [04399] is great [01419]: for the palace [01002] is not for man [0120], but for the LORD [03068] God [0430]. 13 29 2 Now I have prepared [03559] with all my might [03581] for the house [01004] of my God [0430] the gold [02091] for things to be made of gold [02091], and the silver [03701] for things of silver [03701], and the brass [05178] for things of brass [05178], the iron [01270] for things of iron [01270], and wood [06086] for things of wood [06086]; onyx [07718] stones [068], and stones to be set [04394], glistering [06320] stones [068], and of divers colours [07553], and all manner of precious [03368] stones [068], and marble [07893] stones [068] in abundance [07230]. 13 29 3 Moreover, because I have set my affection [07521] to the house [01004] of my God [0430], I have [03426] of mine own proper good [05459], of gold [02091] and silver [03701], which I have given [05414] to the house [01004] of my God [0430], over and above [04605] all that I have prepared [03559] for the holy [06944] house [01004], 13 29 4 Even three [07969] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of gold [02091], of the gold [02091] of Ophir [0211], and seven [07651] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of refined [02212] silver [03701], to overlay [02902] the walls [07023] of the houses [01004] withal: 13 29 5 The gold [02091] for things of gold [02091], and the silver [03701] for things of silver [03701], and for all manner of work [04399] to be made by the hands [03027] of artificers [02796]. And who then is willing [05068] to consecrate [04390] his service [03027] this day [03117] unto the LORD [03068]? 13 29 6 Then the chief [08269] of the fathers [01] and princes [08269] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], and the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and of hundreds [03967], with the rulers [08269] of the king's [04428] work [04399], offered willingly [05068], 13 29 7 And gave [05414] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430] of gold [02091] five [02568] thousand [0505] talents [03603] and ten thousand [07239] drams [0150], and of silver [03701] ten [06235] thousand [0505] talents [03603], and of brass [05178] eighteen [08083] [07239] thousand [0505] talents [03603], and one hundred [03967] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of iron [01270]. 13 29 8 And they with whom precious stones [068] were found [04672] gave [05414] them to the treasure [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], by the hand [03027] of Jehiel [03171] the Gershonite [01649]. 13 29 9 Then the people [05971] rejoiced [08055], for that they offered willingly [05068], because with perfect [08003] heart [03820] they offered willingly [05068] to the LORD [03068]: and David [01732] the king [04428] also rejoiced [08055] with great [01419] joy [08057]. 13 29 10 Wherefore David [01732] blessed [01288] the LORD [03068] before [05869] all the congregation [06951]: and David [01732] said [0559], Blessed [01288] be thou, LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] our father [01], for [05704] ever [05769] and ever [05769]. 13 29 11 Thine, O LORD [03068], is the greatness [01420], and the power [01369], and the glory [08597], and the victory [05331], and the majesty [01935]: for all that is in the heaven [08064] and in the earth [0776] is thine; thine is the kingdom [04467], O LORD [03068], and thou art exalted [04984] as head [07218] above all. 13 29 12 Both riches [06239] and honour [03519] come of thee [06440], and thou reignest [04910] over all; and in thine hand [03027] is power [03581] and might [01369]; and in thine hand [03027] it is to make great [01431], and to give strength [02388] unto all. 13 29 13 Now therefore, our God [0430], we thank [03034] thee, and praise [01984] thy glorious [08597] name [08034]. 13 29 14 But who am I, and what is my people [05971], that we should be [06113] able [03581] to offer so willingly [05068] after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own [03027] have we given [05414] thee. 13 29 15 For we are strangers [01616] before [06440] thee, and sojourners [08453], as were all our fathers [01]: our days [03117] on the earth [0776] are as a shadow [06738], and there is none abiding [04723]. 13 29 16 O LORD [03068] our God [0430], all this store [01995] that we have prepared [03559] to build [01129] thee an house [01004] for thine holy [06944] name [08034] cometh of thine hand [03027], and is all thine own. 13 29 17 I know [03045] also, my God [0430], that thou triest [0974] the heart [03824], and hast pleasure [07521] in uprightness [03476]. As for me, in the uprightness [04339] of mine heart [03824] I have willingly offered [05068] all these things: and now have I seen [07200] with joy [08057] thy people [05971], which are present [04672] here, to offer willingly [05068] unto thee. 13 29 18 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and of Israel [03478], our fathers [01], keep [08104] this for ever [05769] in the imagination [03336] of the thoughts [04284] of the heart [03824] of thy people [05971], and prepare [03559] their heart [03824] unto thee: 13 29 19 And give [05414] unto Solomon [08010] my son [01121] a perfect [08003] heart [03824], to keep [08104] thy commandments [04687], thy testimonies [05715], and thy statutes [02706], and to do [06213] all these things, and to build [01129] the palace [01002], for the which I have made provision [03559]. 13 29 20 And David [01732] said [0559] to all the congregation [06951], Now bless [01288] the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. And all the congregation [06951] blessed [01288] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], and bowed down their heads [06915], and worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068], and the king [04428]. 13 29 21 And they sacrificed [02076] sacrifices [02077] unto the LORD [03068], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068], on the morrow [04283] after that day [03117], even a thousand [0505] bullocks [06499], a thousand [0505] rams [0352], and a thousand [0505] lambs [03532], with their drink offerings [05262], and sacrifices [02077] in abundance [07230] for all Israel [03478]: 13 29 22 And did eat [0398] and drink [08354] before [06440] the LORD [03068] on that day [03117] with great [01419] gladness [08057]. And they made Solomon [08010] the son [01121] of David [01732] king [04427] the second time [08145], and anointed [04886] him unto the LORD [03068] to be the chief governor [05057], and Zadok [06659] to be priest [03548]. 13 29 23 Then Solomon [08010] sat on [03427] the throne [03678] of the LORD [03068] as king [04428] instead of David [01732] his father [01], and prospered [06743]; and all Israel [03478] obeyed [08085] him. 13 29 24 And all the princes [08269], and the mighty men [01368], and all the sons [01121] likewise of king [04428] David [01732], submitted themselves [05414] [03027] [08478] unto Solomon [08010] the king [04428]. 13 29 25 And the LORD [03068] magnified [01431] Solomon [08010] exceedingly [04605] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478], and bestowed [05414] upon him such royal [04438] majesty [01935] as had not been on any king [04428] before [06440] him in Israel [03478]. 13 29 26 Thus David [01732] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] reigned [04427] over all Israel [03478]. 13 29 27 And the time [03117] that he reigned [04427] over Israel [03478] was forty [0705] years [08141]; seven [07651] years [08141] reigned [04427] he in Hebron [02275], and thirty [07970] and three [07969] years reigned [04427] he in Jerusalem [03389]. 13 29 28 And he died [04191] in a good [02896] old age [07872], full [07649] of days [03117], riches [06239], and honour [03519]: and Solomon [08010] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 13 29 29 Now the acts [01697] of David [01732] the king [04428], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [01697] of Samuel [08050] the seer [07200], and in the book [01697] of Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and in the book [01697] of Gad [01410] the seer [02374], 13 29 30 With all his reign [04438] and his might [01369], and the times [06256] that went over [05674] him, and over Israel [03478], and over all the kingdoms [04467] of the countries [0776]. 14 1 1 And Solomon [08010] the son [01121] of David [01732] was strengthened [02388] in his kingdom [04438], and the LORD [03068] his God [0430] was with him, and magnified [01431] him exceedingly [04605]. 14 1 2 Then Solomon [08010] spake [0559] unto all Israel [03478], to the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and of hundreds [03967], and to the judges [08199], and to every governor [05387] in all Israel [03478], the chief [07218] of the fathers [01]. 14 1 3 So Solomon [08010], and all the congregation [06951] with him, went [03212] to the high place [01116] that was at Gibeon [01391]; for there was the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] of God [0430], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] had made [06213] in the wilderness [04057]. 14 1 4 But [061] the ark [0727] of God [0430] had David [01732] brought up [05927] from Kirjathjearim [07157] to the place which David [01732] had prepared [03559] for it: for he had pitched [05186] a tent [0168] for it at Jerusalem [03389]. 14 1 5 Moreover the brasen [05178] altar [04196], that Bezaleel [01212] the son [01121] of Uri [0221], the son [01121] of Hur [02354], had made [06213], he put [07760] before [06440] the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068]: and Solomon [08010] and the congregation [06951] sought [01875] unto it. 14 1 6 And Solomon [08010] went up [05927] thither to the brasen [05178] altar [04196] before [06440] the LORD [03068], which was at the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and offered [05927] a thousand [0505] burnt offerings [05930] upon it. 14 1 7 In that night [03915] did God [0430] appear [07200] unto Solomon [08010], and said [0559] unto him, Ask [07592] what I shall give [05414] thee. 14 1 8 And Solomon [08010] said [0559] unto God [0430], Thou hast shewed [06213] great [01419] mercy [02617] unto David [01732] my father [01], and hast made me to reign [04427] in his stead. 14 1 9 Now, O LORD [03068] God [0430], let thy promise [01697] unto David [01732] my father [01] be established [0539]: for thou hast made me king [04427] over a people [05971] like the dust [06083] of the earth [0776] in multitude [07227]. 14 1 10 Give [05414] me now wisdom [02451] and knowledge [04093], that I may go out [03318] and come in [0935] before [06440] this people [05971]: for who can judge [08199] this thy people [05971], that is so great [01419]? 14 1 11 And God [0430] said [0559] to Solomon [08010], Because this was in thine heart [03824], and thou hast not asked [07592] riches [06239], wealth [05233], or honour [03519], nor the life [05315] of thine enemies [08130], neither yet hast asked [07592] long [07227] life [03117]; but hast asked [07592] wisdom [02451] and knowledge [04093] for thyself, that thou mayest judge [08199] my people [05971], over whom I have made thee king [04427]: 14 1 12 Wisdom [02451] and knowledge [04093] is granted [05414] unto thee; and I will give [05414] thee riches [06239], and wealth [05233], and honour [03519], such as none of the kings [04428] have had that have been before [06440] thee, neither shall there any after [0310] thee have the like. 14 1 13 Then Solomon [08010] came [0935] from his journey to the high place [01116] that was at Gibeon [01391] to Jerusalem [03389], from before [06440] the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and reigned [04427] over Israel [03478]. 14 1 14 And Solomon [08010] gathered [0622] chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]: and he had a thousand [0505] and four [0702] hundred [03967] chariots [07393], and twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571], which he placed [03240] in the chariot [07393] cities [05892], and with the king [04428] at Jerusalem [03389]. 14 1 15 And the king [04428] made [05414] silver [03701] and gold [02091] at Jerusalem [03389] as plenteous as stones [068], and cedar trees [0730] made [05414] he as the sycomore trees [08256] that are in the vale [08219] for abundance [07230]. 14 1 16 And Solomon [08010] had horses [05483] brought [04161] out of Egypt [04714], and linen yarn [04723]: the king's [04428] merchants [05503] received [03947] the linen yarn [04723] at a price [04242]. 14 1 17 And they fetched up [05927], and brought forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714] a chariot [04818] for six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels of silver [03701], and an horse [05483] for an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572]: and so brought they out [03318] horses for all the kings [04428] of the Hittites [02850], and for the kings [04428] of Syria [0758], by their means [03027]. 14 2 1 And Solomon [08010] determined [0559] to build [01129] an house [01004] for the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and an house [01004] for his kingdom [04438]. 14 2 2 And Solomon [08010] told out [05608] threescore and ten [07657] thousand [0505] men [0376] to bear burdens [05449], and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] [0376] to hew [02672] in the mountain [02022], and three [07969] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967] to oversee [05329] them. 14 2 3 And Solomon [08010] sent [07971] to Huram [02361] the king [04428] of Tyre [06865], saying [0559], As thou didst deal [06213] with David [01732] my father [01], and didst send [07971] him cedars [0730] to build [01129] him an house [01004] to dwell [03427] therein, even so deal with me. 14 2 4 Behold, I build [01129] an house [01004] to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], to dedicate [06942] it to him, and to burn [06999] before [06440] him sweet [05561] incense [07004], and for the continual [08548] shewbread [04635], and for the burnt offerings [05930] morning [01242] and evening [06153], on the sabbaths [07676], and on the new moons [02320], and on the solemn feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. This is an ordinance for ever [05769] to Israel [03478]. 14 2 5 And the house [01004] which I build [01129] is great [01419]: for great [01419] is our God [0430] above all gods [0430]. 14 2 6 But who is able [06113] [03581] to build [01129] him an house [01004], seeing the heaven [08064] and heaven [08064] of heavens [08064] cannot contain [03557] him? who am I then, that I should build [01129] him an house [01004], save only [0518] to burn sacrifice [06999] before [06440] him? 14 2 7 Send [07971] me now therefore a man [0376] cunning [02450] to work [06213] in gold [02091], and in silver [03701], and in brass [05178], and in iron [01270], and in purple [0710], and crimson [03758], and blue [08504], and that can skill [03045] to grave [06605] [06603] with the cunning men [02450] that are with me in Judah [03063] and in Jerusalem [03389], whom David [01732] my father [01] did provide [03559]. 14 2 8 Send [07971] me also cedar [0730] trees [06086], fir trees [01265], and algum trees [0418], out of Lebanon [03844]: for I know [03045] that thy servants [05650] can skill [03045] to cut [03772] timber [06086] in Lebanon [03844]; and, behold, my servants [05650] shall be with thy servants [05650], 14 2 9 Even to prepare [03559] me timber [06086] in abundance [07230]: for the house [01004] which I am about to build [01129] shall be wonderful [06381] great [01419]. 14 2 10 And, behold, I will give [05414] to thy servants [05650], the hewers [02404] that cut [03772] timber [06086], twenty [06242] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of beaten [04347] wheat [02406], and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of barley [08184], and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] baths [01324] of wine [03196], and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] baths [01324] of oil [08081]. 14 2 11 Then Huram [02361] the king [04428] of Tyre [06865] answered [0559] in writing [03791], which he sent [07971] to Solomon [08010], Because the LORD [03068] hath loved [0160] his people [05971], he hath made [05414] thee king [04428] over them. 14 2 12 Huram [02361] said [0559] moreover, Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], that made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776], who hath given [05414] to David [01732] the king [04428] a wise [02450] son [01121], endued [03045] with prudence [07922] and understanding [0998], that might build [01129] an house [01004] for the LORD [03068], and an house [01004] for his kingdom [04438]. 14 2 13 And now I have sent [07971] a cunning [02450] man [0376], endued [03045] with understanding [0998], of Huram [02361] my father's [01], 14 2 14 The son [01121] of a woman [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Dan [01835], and his father [01] was a man [0376] of Tyre [06876], skilful [03045] to work [06213] in gold [02091], and in silver [03701], in brass [05178], in iron [01270], in stone [068], and in timber [06086], in purple [0713], in blue [08504], and in fine linen [0948], and in crimson [03758]; also to grave [06605] any manner of graving [06603], and to find out [02803] every device [04284] which shall be put [05414] to him, with thy cunning men [02450], and with the cunning men [02450] of my lord [0113] David [01732] thy father [01]. 14 2 15 Now therefore the wheat [02406], and the barley [08184], the oil [08081], and the wine [03196], which my lord [0113] hath spoken [0559] of, let him send [07971] unto his servants [05650]: 14 2 16 And we will cut [03772] wood [06086] out of Lebanon [03844], as much as thou shalt need [06878]: and we will bring [0935] it to thee in floats [07513] by sea [03220] to Joppa [03305]; and thou shalt carry it up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 2 17 And Solomon [08010] numbered [05608] all the strangers [0582] [01616] that were in the land [0776] of Israel [03478], after [0310] the numbering [05610] wherewith David [01732] his father [01] had numbered [05608] them; and they were found [04672] an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] thousand [0505] and three [07969] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967]. 14 2 18 And he set [06213] threescore and ten [07657] thousand [0505] of them to be bearers of burdens [05449], and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] to be hewers [02672] in the mountain [02022], and three [07969] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967] overseers [05329] to set [05647] the people [05971] a work [05647]. 14 3 1 Then Solomon [08010] began [02490] to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] at Jerusalem [03389] in mount [02022] Moriah [04179], where the LORD appeared [07200] unto David [01732] his father [01], in the place [04725] that David [01732] had prepared [03559] in the threshingfloor [01637] of Ornan [0771] the Jebusite [02983]. 14 3 2 And he began [02490] to build [01129] in the second [08145] day of the second [08145] month [02320], in the fourth [0702] year [08141] of his reign [04438]. 14 3 3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon [08010] was instructed [03245] for the building [01129] of the house [01004] of God [0430]. The length [0753] by cubits [0520] after the first [07223] measure [04060] was threescore [08346] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] twenty [06242] cubits [0520]. 14 3 4 And the porch [0197] that was in the front [06440] of the house, the length [0753] of it was according to the breadth [07341] of the house [01004], twenty [06242] cubits [0520], and the height [01363] was an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242]: and he overlaid [06823] it within [06441] with pure [02889] gold [02091]. 14 3 5 And the greater [01419] house [01004] he cieled [02645] with fir [01265] tree [06086], which he overlaid [02645] with fine [02896] gold [02091], and set [05927] thereon palm trees [08561] and chains [08333]. 14 3 6 And he garnished [06823] the house [01004] with precious [03368] stones [068] for beauty [08597]: and the gold [02091] was gold [02091] of Parvaim [06516]. 14 3 7 He overlaid [02645] also the house [01004], the beams [06982], the posts [05592], and the walls [07023] thereof, and the doors [01817] thereof, with gold [02091]; and graved [06605] cherubims [03742] on the walls [07023]. 14 3 8 And he made [06213] the most [06944] holy [06944] house [01004], the length [0753] whereof was according to [06440] the breadth [07341] of the house [01004], twenty [06242] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof twenty [06242] cubits [0520]: and he overlaid [02645] it with fine [02896] gold [02091], amounting to six [08337] hundred [03967] talents [03603]. 14 3 9 And the weight [04948] of the nails [04548] was fifty [02572] shekels [08255] of gold [02091]. And he overlaid [02645] the upper chambers [05944] with gold [02091]. 14 3 10 And in the most [06944] holy [06944] house [01004] he made [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of image [06816] work [04639], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091]. 14 3 11 And the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742] were twenty [06242] cubits [0520] long [0753]: one [0259] wing [03671] of the one cherub was five [02568] cubits [0520], reaching [05060] to the wall [07023] of the house [01004]: and the other [0312] wing [03671] was likewise five [02568] cubits [0520], reaching [05060] to the wing [03671] of the other [0312] cherub [03742]. 14 3 12 And one wing [03671] of the other [0259] cherub [03742] was five [02568] cubits [0520], reaching [05060] to the wall [07023] of the house [01004]: and the other [0312] wing [03671] was five [02568] cubits [0520] also, joining [01695] to the wing [03671] of the other [0312] cherub [03742]. 14 3 13 The wings [03671] of these cherubims [03742] spread themselves forth [06566] twenty [06242] cubits [0520]: and they stood [05975] on their feet [07272], and their faces [06440] were inward [01004]. 14 3 14 And he made [06213] the vail [06532] of blue [08504], and purple [0713], and crimson [03758], and fine linen [0948], and wrought [05927] cherubims [03742] thereon. 14 3 15 Also he made [06213] before [06440] the house [01004] two [08147] pillars [05982] of thirty [07970] and five [02568] cubits [0520] high [0753], and the chapiter [06858] that was on the top [07218] of each of them was five [02568] cubits [0520]. 14 3 16 And he made [06213] chains [08333], as in the oracle [01687], and put [05414] them on the heads [07218] of the pillars [05982]; and made [06213] an hundred [03967] pomegranates [07416], and put [05414] them on the chains [08333]. 14 3 17 And he reared up [06965] the pillars [05982] before [06440] the temple [01964], one [0259] on the right hand [03225], and the other [0259] on the left [08040]; and called [07121] the name [08034] of that on the right hand [03233] [03227] Jachin [03199], and the name [08034] of that on the left [08042] Boaz [01162]. 14 4 1 Moreover he made [06213] an altar [04196] of brass [05178], twenty [06242] cubits [0520] the length [0753] thereof, and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and ten [06235] cubits [0520] the height [06967] thereof. 14 4 2 Also he made [06213] a molten [03332] sea [03220] of ten [06235] cubits [0520] from brim [08193] to brim [08193], round [05696] in compass [05439], and five [02568] cubits [0520] the height [06967] thereof; and a line [06957] of thirty [07970] cubits [0520] did compass [05437] it round about [05439]. 14 4 3 And under it was the similitude [01823] of oxen [01241], which did compass [05437] it round about [05439]: ten [06235] in a cubit [0520], compassing [05362] the sea [03220] round about [05439]. Two [08147] rows [02905] of oxen [01241] were cast [03332], when it was cast [04166]. 14 4 4 It stood [05975] upon twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241], three [07969] looking [06437] toward the north [06828], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the west [03220], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the south [05045], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the east [04217]: and the sea [03220] was set above [04605] upon them, and all their hinder parts [0268] were inward [01004]. 14 4 5 And the thickness [05672] of it was an handbreadth [02947], and the brim [08193] of it like the work [04639] of the brim [08193] of a cup [03563], with flowers [06525] of lilies [07799]; and it received [02388] and held [03557] three [07969] thousand [0505] baths [01324]. 14 4 6 He made [06213] also ten [06235] lavers [03595], and put [05414] five [02568] on the right hand [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040], to wash [07364] in them: such things as they offered [04639] for the burnt offering [05930] they washed [01740] in them; but the sea [03220] was for the priests [03548] to wash in [07364]. 14 4 7 And he made [06213] ten [06235] candlesticks [04501] of gold [02091] according to their form [04941], and set [05414] them in the temple [01964], five [02568] on the right hand [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040]. 14 4 8 He made [06213] also ten [06235] tables [07979], and placed [03240] them in the temple [01964], five [02568] on the right side [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040]. And he made [06213] an hundred [03967] basons [04219] of gold [02091]. 14 4 9 Furthermore he made [06213] the court [02691] of the priests [03548], and the great [01419] court [05835], and doors [01817] for the court [05835], and overlaid [06823] the doors [01817] of them with brass [05178]. 14 4 10 And he set [05414] the sea [03220] on the right [03233] side [03802] of the east end [06924], over against [04136] the south [05045]. 14 4 11 And Huram [02361] made [06213] the pots [05518], and the shovels [03257], and the basons [04219]. And Huram [02361] [02438] finished [03615] [06213] the work [04399] that he was to make [06213] for king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of God [0430]; 14 4 12 To wit, the two [08147] pillars [05982], and the pommels [01543], and the chapiters [03805] which were on the top [07218] of the two pillars [05982], and the two [08147] wreaths [07639] to cover [03680] the two [08147] pommels [01543] of the chapiters [03805] which were on the top [07218] of the pillars [05982]; 14 4 13 And four [0702] hundred [03967] pomegranates [07416] on the two [08147] wreaths [07639]; two [08147] rows [02905] of pomegranates [07416] on each [0259] wreath [07639], to cover [03680] the two [08147] pommels [01543] of the chapiters [03805] which were upon [06440] the pillars [05982]. 14 4 14 He made [06213] also bases [04350], and lavers [03595] made [06213] he upon the bases [04350]; 14 4 15 One [0259] sea [03220], and twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241] under it. 14 4 16 The pots [05518] also, and the shovels [03257], and the fleshhooks [04207], and all their instruments [03627], did Huram [02361] his father [01] make [06213] to king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of bright [04838] brass [05178]. 14 4 17 In the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383] did the king [04428] cast [03332] them, in the clay [05645] ground [0127] between Succoth [05523] and Zeredathah [06868]. 14 4 18 Thus Solomon [08010] made [06213] all these vessels [03627] in great [03966] abundance [07230]: for the weight [04948] of the brass [05178] could not be found out [02713]. 14 4 19 And Solomon [08010] made [06213] all the vessels [03627] that were for the house [01004] of God [0430], the golden [02091] altar [04196] also, and the tables [07979] whereon the shewbread [03899] [06440] was set; 14 4 20 Moreover the candlesticks [04501] with their lamps [05216], that they should burn [01197] after the manner [04941] before [06440] the oracle [01687], of pure [05462] gold [02091]; 14 4 21 And the flowers [06525], and the lamps [05216], and the tongs [04457], made he of gold [02091], and that perfect [04357] gold [02091]; 14 4 22 And the snuffers [04212], and the basons [04219], and the spoons [03709], and the censers [04289], of pure [05462] gold [02091]: and the entry [06607] of the house [01004], the inner [06442] doors [01817] thereof for the most [06944] holy [06944] place, and the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the temple [01964], were of gold [02091]. 14 5 1 Thus all the work [04399] that Solomon [08010] made [06213] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] was finished [07999]: and Solomon [08010] brought [0935] in all the things [06944] that David [01732] his father [01] had dedicated [06944]; and the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and all the instruments [03627], put [05414] he among the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of God [0430]. 14 5 2 Then Solomon [08010] assembled [06950] the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and all the heads [07218] of the tribes [04294], the chief [05387] of the fathers [01] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], unto Jerusalem [03389], to bring up [05927] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] out of the city [05892] of David [01732], which is Zion [06726]. 14 5 3 Wherefore all the men [0376] of Israel [03478] assembled [06950] themselves unto the king [04428] in the feast [02282] which was in the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 14 5 4 And all the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935]; and the Levites [03881] took up [05375] the ark [0727]. 14 5 5 And they brought up [05927] the ark [0727], and the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and all the holy [06944] vessels [03627] that were in the tabernacle [0168], these did the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] bring up [05927]. 14 5 6 Also king [04428] Solomon [08010], and all the congregation [05712] of Israel [03478] that were assembled [03259] unto him before [06440] the ark [0727], sacrificed [02076] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241], which could not be told [05608] nor numbered [04487] for multitude [07230]. 14 5 7 And the priests [03548] brought in [0935] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] unto his place [04725], to the oracle [01687] of the house [01004], into the most [06944] holy [06944] place, even under the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742]: 14 5 8 For the cherubims [03742] spread forth [06566] their wings [03671] over the place [04725] of the ark [0727], and the cherubims [03742] covered [03680] the ark [0727] and the staves [0905] thereof above [04605]. 14 5 9 And they drew out [0748] the staves [0905] of the ark, that the ends [07218] of the staves [0905] were seen [07200] from the ark [0727] before [06440] the oracle [01687]; but they were not seen [07200] without [02351]. And there it is unto this day [03117]. 14 5 10 There was nothing in the ark [0727] save the two [08147] tables [03871] which Moses [04872] put [05414] therein at Horeb [02722], when the LORD [03068] made [03772] a covenant with the children [01121] of Israel [03478], when they came out [03318] of Egypt [04714]. 14 5 11 And it came to pass, when the priests [03548] were come out [03318] of the holy [06944] place: (for all the priests [03548] that were present [04672] were sanctified [06942], and did not then wait [08104] by course [04256]: 14 5 12 Also the Levites [03881] which were the singers [07891], all of them of Asaph [0623], of Heman [01968], of Jeduthun [03038], with their sons [01121] and their brethren [0251], being arrayed [03847] in white linen [0948], having cymbals [04700] and psalteries [05035] and harps [03658], stood [05975] at the east end [04217] of the altar [04196], and with them an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] priests [03548] sounding [02690] with trumpets [02689]:) 14 5 13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters [02690] [02690] and singers [07891] were as one [0259], to make one [0259] sound [06963] to be heard [08085] in praising [01984] and thanking [03034] the LORD [03068]; and when they lifted up [07311] their voice [06963] with the trumpets [02689] and cymbals [04700] and instruments [03627] of musick [07892], and praised [01984] the LORD [03068], saying, For he is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: that then the house [01004] was filled [04390] with a cloud [06051], even the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; 14 5 14 So that the priests [03548] could [03201] not stand [05975] to minister [08334] by reason [06440] of the cloud [06051]: for the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] had filled [04390] the house [01004] of God [0430]. 14 6 1 Then said [0559] Solomon [08010], The LORD [03068] hath said [0559] that he would dwell [07931] in the thick darkness [06205]. 14 6 2 But I have built [01129] an house [01004] of habitation [02073] for thee, and a place [04349] for thy dwelling [03427] for ever [05769]. 14 6 3 And the king [04428] turned [05437] his face [06440], and blessed [01288] the whole congregation [06951] of Israel [03478]: and all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478] stood [05975]. 14 6 4 And he said [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], who hath with his hands [03027] fulfilled [04390] that which he spake [01696] with his mouth [06310] to my father [01] David [01732], saying [0559], 14 6 5 Since the day [03117] that I brought forth [03318] my people [05971] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] I chose [0977] no city [05892] among all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to build [01129] an house [01004] in, that my name [08034] might be there; neither chose [0977] I any man [0376] to be a ruler [05057] over my people [05971] Israel [03478]: 14 6 6 But I have chosen [0977] Jerusalem [03389], that my name [08034] might be there; and have chosen [0977] David [01732] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 14 6 7 Now it was in the heart [03824] of David [01732] my father [01] to build [01129] an house [01004] for the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 6 8 But the LORD [03068] said [0559] to David [01732] my father [01], Forasmuch as it was in thine heart [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], thou didst well [02895] in that it was in thine heart [03824]: 14 6 9 Notwithstanding [07535] thou shalt not build [01129] the house [01004]; but thy son [01121] which shall come forth [03318] out of thy loins [02504], he shall build [01129] the house [01004] for my name [08034]. 14 6 10 The LORD [03068] therefore hath performed [06965] his word [01697] that he hath spoken [01696]: for I am risen up [06965] in the room of David [01732] my father [01], and am set [03427] on the throne [03678] of Israel [03478], as the LORD [03068] promised [01696], and have built [01129] the house [01004] for the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 6 11 And in it [08033] have I put [07760] the ark [0727], wherein is the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], that he made [03772] with the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 14 6 12 And he stood [05975] before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] in the presence of all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], and spread forth [06566] his hands [03709]: 14 6 13 For Solomon [08010] had made [06213] a brasen [05178] scaffold [03595], of five [02568] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and three [07969] cubits [0520] high [06967], and had set [05414] it in the midst [08432] of the court [05835]: and upon it he stood [05975], and kneeled down [01288] upon his knees [01290] before all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], and spread forth [06566] his hands [03709] toward heaven [08064], 14 6 14 And said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], there is no God [0430] like thee in the heaven [08064], nor in the earth [0776]; which keepest [08104] covenant [01285], and shewest mercy [02617] unto thy servants [05650], that walk [01980] before [06440] thee with all their hearts [03820]: 14 6 15 Thou which hast kept [08104] with thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01] that which thou hast promised [01696] him; and spakest [01696] with thy mouth [06310], and hast fulfilled [04390] it with thine hand [03027], as it is this day [03117]. 14 6 16 Now therefore, O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], keep [08104] with thy servant [05650] David [01732] my father [01] that which thou hast promised [01696] him, saying [0559], There shall not fail [03772] thee a man [0376] in my sight [06440] to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of Israel [03478]; yet so [07535] that thy children [01121] take heed [08104] to their way [01870] to walk [03212] in my law [08451], as thou hast walked [01980] before [06440] me. 14 6 17 Now then, O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], let thy word [01697] be verified [0539], which thou hast spoken [01696] unto thy servant [05650] David [01732]. 14 6 18 But will God [0430] in very deed [0552] dwell [03427] with men [0120] on the earth [0776]? behold, heaven [08064] and the heaven [08064] of heavens [08064] cannot contain [03557] thee; how much less this house [01004] which I have built [01129] ! 14 6 19 Have respect [06437] therefore to the prayer [08605] of thy servant [05650], and to his supplication [08467], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], to hearken [08085] unto the cry [07440] and the prayer [08605] which thy servant [05650] prayeth [06419] before [06440] thee: 14 6 20 That thine eyes [05869] may be open [06605] upon this house [01004] day [03119] and night [03915], upon the place [04725] whereof thou hast said [0559] that thou wouldest put [07760] thy name [08034] there; to hearken [08085] unto the prayer [08605] which thy servant [05650] prayeth [06419] toward this place [04725]. 14 6 21 Hearken [08085] therefore unto the supplications [08469] of thy servant [05650], and of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], which they shall make [06419] toward this place [04725]: hear [08085] thou from thy dwelling [03427] place [04725], even from heaven [08064]; and when thou hearest [08085], forgive [05545]. 14 6 22 If a man [0376] sin [02398] against his neighbour [07453], and an oath [0423] be laid [05375] upon him to make him swear [0422], and the oath [0423] come [0935] before [06440] thine altar [04196] in this house [01004]; 14 6 23 Then hear [08085] thou from heaven [08064], and do [06213], and judge [08199] thy servants [05650], by requiting [07725] the wicked [07563], by recompensing [05414] his way [01870] upon his own head [07218]; and by justifying [06663] the righteous [06662], by giving [05414] him according to his righteousness [06666]. 14 6 24 And if thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be put to the worse [05062] before [06440] the enemy [0341], because they have sinned [02398] against thee; and shall return [07725] and confess [03034] thy name [08034], and pray [06419] and make supplication [02603] before [06440] thee in this house [01004]; 14 6 25 Then hear [08085] thou from the heavens [08064], and forgive [05545] the sin [02403] of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], and bring them again [07725] unto the land [0127] which thou gavest [05414] to them and to their fathers [01]. 14 6 26 When the heaven [08064] is shut up [06113], and there is no rain [04306], because they have sinned [02398] against thee; yet if they pray [06419] toward this place [04725], and confess [03034] thy name [08034], and turn [07725] from their sin [02403], when thou dost afflict [06031] them; 14 6 27 Then hear [08085] thou from heaven [08064], and forgive [05545] the sin [02403] of thy servants [05650], and of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], when thou hast taught [03384] them the good [02896] way [01870], wherein they should walk [03212]; and send [05414] rain [04306] upon thy land [0776], which thou hast given [05414] unto thy people [05971] for an inheritance [05159]. 14 6 28 If there be dearth [07458] in the land [0776], if there be pestilence [01698], if there be blasting [07711], or mildew [03420], locusts [0697], or caterpillers [02625]; if their enemies [0341] besiege [06887] them in the cities [08179] of their land [0776]; whatsoever sore [05061] or whatsoever sickness [04245] there be: 14 6 29 Then what prayer [08605] or what supplication [08467] soever shall be made of any man [0120], or of all thy people [05971] Israel [03478], when every one [0376] shall know [03045] his own sore [05061] and his own grief [04341], and shall spread forth [06566] his hands [03709] in this house [01004]: 14 6 30 Then hear [08085] thou from heaven [08064] thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and forgive [05545], and render [05414] unto every man [0376] according unto all his ways [01870], whose heart [03824] thou knowest [03045]; (for thou only knowest [03045] the hearts [03824] of the children [01121] of men [0120]:) 14 6 31 That they may fear [03372] thee, to walk [03212] in thy ways [01870], so long as [03117] they live [02416] [06440] in the land [0127] which thou gavest [05414] unto our fathers [01]. 14 6 32 Moreover concerning the stranger [05237], which is not of thy people [05971] Israel [03478], but is come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776] for thy great [01419] name's [08034] sake, and thy mighty [02389] hand [03027], and thy stretched out [05186] arm [02220]; if they come [0935] and pray [06419] in this house [01004]; 14 6 33 Then hear [08085] thou from the heavens [08064], even from thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], and do [06213] according to all that the stranger [05237] calleth [07121] to thee for; that all people [05971] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] thy name [08034], and fear [03372] thee, as doth thy people [05971] Israel [03478], and may know [03045] that this house [01004] which I have built [01129] is called [07121] by thy name [08034]. 14 6 34 If thy people [05971] go out [03318] to war [04421] against their enemies [0341] by the way [01870] that thou shalt send [07971] them, and they pray [06419] unto thee toward [01870] this city [05892] which thou hast chosen [0977], and the house [01004] which I have built [01129] for thy name [08034]; 14 6 35 Then hear [08085] thou from the heavens [08064] their prayer [08605] and their supplication [08467], and maintain [06213] their cause [04941]. 14 6 36 If they sin [02398] against thee, (for there is no man [0120] which sinneth [02398] not,) and thou be angry [0599] with them, and deliver [05414] them over before [06440] their enemies [0341], and they carry them away [07617] captives [07617] unto a land [0776] far off [07350] or near [07138]; 14 6 37 Yet if they bethink [07725] [03824] themselves in the land [0776] whither they are carried captive [07617], and turn [07725] and pray [02603] unto thee in the land [0776] of their captivity [07628], saying [0559], We have sinned [02398], we have done amiss [05753], and have dealt wickedly [07561]; 14 6 38 If they return [07725] to thee with all their heart [03820] and with all their soul [05315] in the land [0776] of their captivity [07628], whither they have carried them captives [07617], and pray [06419] toward [01870] their land [0776], which thou gavest [05414] unto their fathers [01], and toward the city [05892] which thou hast chosen [0977], and toward the house [01004] which I have built [01129] for thy name [08034]: 14 6 39 Then hear [08085] thou from the heavens [08064], even from thy dwelling [03427] place [04349], their prayer [08605] and their supplications [08467], and maintain [06213] their cause [04941], and forgive [05545] thy people [05971] which have sinned [02398] against thee. 14 6 40 Now, my God [0430], let, I beseech thee, thine eyes [05869] be open [06605], and let thine ears [0241] be attent [07183] unto the prayer [08605] that is made in this place [04725]. 14 6 41 Now therefore arise [06965], O LORD [03068] God [0430], into thy resting [05118] place, thou, and the ark [0727] of thy strength [05797]: let thy priests [03548], O LORD [03068] God [0430], be clothed [03847] with salvation [08668], and let thy saints [02623] rejoice [08055] in goodness [02896]. 14 6 42 O LORD [03068] God [0430], turn not away [07725] the face [06440] of thine anointed [04899]: remember [02142] the mercies [02617] of David [01732] thy servant [05650]. 14 7 1 Now when Solomon [08010] had made an end [03615] of praying [06419], the fire [0784] came down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consumed [0398] the burnt offering [05930] and the sacrifices [02077]; and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the house [01004]. 14 7 2 And the priests [03548] could [03201] not enter [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], because the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] had filled [04390] the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]. 14 7 3 And when all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] saw [07200] how the fire [0784] came down [03381], and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] upon the house [01004], they bowed [03766] themselves with their faces [0639] to the ground [0776] upon the pavement [07531], and worshipped [07812], and praised [03034] the LORD [03068], saying, For he is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 14 7 4 Then the king [04428] and all the people [05971] offered [02076] sacrifices [02077] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 14 7 5 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] offered [02076] a sacrifice [02077] of twenty [06242] and two [08147] thousand [0505] oxen [01241], and an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]: so the king [04428] and all the people [05971] dedicated [02596] the house [01004] of God [0430]. 14 7 6 And the priests [03548] waited [05975] on their offices [04931]: the Levites [03881] also with instruments [03627] of musick [07892] of the LORD [03068], which David [01732] the king [04428] had made [06213] to praise [03034] the LORD [03068], because his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769], when David [01732] praised [01984] by their ministry [03027]; and the priests [03548] sounded trumpets [02690] [02690] before them, and all Israel [03478] stood [05975]. 14 7 7 Moreover Solomon [08010] hallowed [06942] the middle [08432] of the court [02691] that was before [06440] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: for there he offered [06213] burnt offerings [05930], and the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002], because the brasen [05178] altar [04196] which Solomon [08010] had made [06213] was not able [03201] to receive [03557] the burnt offerings [05930], and the meat offerings [04503], and the fat [02459]. 14 7 8 Also at the same time [06256] Solomon [08010] kept [06213] the feast [02282] seven [07651] days [03117], and all Israel [03478] with him, a very [03966] great [01419] congregation [06951], from the entering in [0935] of Hamath [02574] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714]. 14 7 9 And in the eighth [08066] day [03117] they made [06213] a solemn assembly [06116]: for they kept [06213] the dedication [02598] of the altar [04196] seven [07651] days [03117], and the feast [02282] seven [07651] days [03117]. 14 7 10 And on the three [07969] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the seventh [07637] month [02320] he sent [07971] the people [05971] away [07971] into their tents [0168], glad [08056] and merry [02896] in heart [03820] for the goodness [02896] that the LORD [03068] had shewed [06213] unto David [01732], and to Solomon [08010], and to Israel [03478] his people [05971]. 14 7 11 Thus Solomon [08010] finished [03615] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] house [01004]: and all that came [0935] into Solomon's [08010] heart [03820] to make [06213] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in his own house [01004], he prosperously effected [06743]. 14 7 12 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Solomon [08010] by night [03915], and said [0559] unto him, I have heard [08085] thy prayer [08605], and have chosen [0977] this place [04725] to myself for an house [01004] of sacrifice [02077]. 14 7 13 If [02005] I shut up [06113] heaven [08064] that there be no rain [04306], or if I command [06680] the locusts [02284] to devour [0398] the land [0776], or if I send [07971] pestilence [01698] among my people [05971]; 14 7 14 If my people [05971], which are called [07121] by my name [08034], shall humble [03665] themselves, and pray [06419], and seek [01245] my face [06440], and turn [07725] from their wicked [07451] ways [01870]; then will I hear [08085] from heaven [08064], and will forgive [05545] their sin [02403], and will heal [07495] their land [0776]. 14 7 15 Now mine eyes [05869] shall be open [06605], and mine ears [0241] attent [07183] unto the prayer [08605] that is made in this place [04725]. 14 7 16 For now have I chosen [0977] and sanctified [06942] this house [01004], that my name [08034] may be there for [05704] ever [05769]: and mine eyes [05869] and mine heart [03820] shall be there perpetually [03117]. 14 7 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk [03212] before [06440] me, as David [01732] thy father [01] walked [01980], and do [06213] according to all that I have commanded [06680] thee, and shalt observe [08104] my statutes [02706] and my judgments [04941]; 14 7 18 Then will I stablish [06965] the throne [03678] of thy kingdom [04438], according as I have covenanted [03772] with David [01732] thy father [01], saying [0559], There shall not fail [03772] thee a man [0376] to be ruler [04910] in Israel [03478]. 14 7 19 But if ye turn away [07725], and forsake [05800] my statutes [02708] and my commandments [04687], which I have set [05414] before [06440] you, and shall go [01980] and serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], and worship [07812] them; 14 7 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots [05428] out of my land [0127] which I have given [05414] them; and this house [01004], which I have sanctified [06942] for my name [08034], will I cast out [07993] of my sight [06440], and will make [05414] it to be a proverb [04912] and a byword [08148] among all nations [05971]. 14 7 21 And this house [01004], which is high [05945], shall be an astonishment [08074] to every one that passeth [05674] by it; so that he shall say [0559], Why hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this land [0776], and unto this house [01004]? 14 7 22 And it shall be answered [0559], Because they forsook [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], which brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and laid hold [02388] on other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] them, and served [05647] them: therefore hath he brought [0935] all this evil [07451] upon them. 14 8 1 And it came to pass at the end [07093] of twenty [06242] years [08141], wherein Solomon [08010] had built [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and his own house [01004], 14 8 2 That the cities [05892] which Huram [02361] had restored [05414] to Solomon [08010], Solomon [08010] built [01129] them, and caused the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to dwell [03427] there. 14 8 3 And Solomon [08010] went [03212] to Hamathzobah [02578], and prevailed [02388] against it. 14 8 4 And he built [01129] Tadmor [08412] in the wilderness [04057], and all the store [04543] cities [05892], which he built [01129] in Hamath [02574]. 14 8 5 Also he built [01129] Bethhoron [01032] the upper [05945], and Bethhoron [01032] the nether [08481], fenced [04692] cities [05892], with walls [02346], gates [01817], and bars [01280]; 14 8 6 And Baalath [01191], and all the store [04543] cities [05892] that Solomon [08010] had, and all the chariot [07393] cities [05892], and the cities [05892] of the horsemen [06571], and all that Solomon [08010] desired [02836] [02837] to build [01129] in Jerusalem [03389], and in Lebanon [03844], and throughout all the land [0776] of his dominion [04475]. 14 8 7 As for all the people [05971] that were left [03498] of the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983], which were not of Israel [03478], 14 8 8 But of their children [01121], who were left [03498] after [0310] them in the land [0776], whom the children [01121] of Israel [03478] consumed [03615] not, them did Solomon [08010] make to pay [05927] tribute [04522] until this day [03117]. 14 8 9 But of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did Solomon [08010] make [05414] no servants [05650] for his work [04399]; but they were men [0582] of war [04421], and chief [08269] of his captains [07991], and captains [08269] of his chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]. 14 8 10 And these were the chief [08269] of king [04428] Solomon's [08010] officers [05324] [05333], even two hundred [03967] and fifty [02572], that bare rule [07287] over the people [05971]. 14 8 11 And Solomon [08010] brought up [05927] the daughter [01323] of Pharaoh [06547] out of the city [05892] of David [01732] unto the house [01004] that he had built [01129] for her: for he said [0559], My wife [0802] shall not dwell [03427] in the house [01004] of David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478], because the places are holy [06944], whereunto the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] hath come [0935]. 14 8 12 Then Solomon [08010] offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068] on the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], which he had built [01129] before [06440] the porch [0197], 14 8 13 Even after a certain rate [01697] every day [03117], offering [05927] according to the commandment [04687] of Moses [04872], on the sabbaths [07676], and on the new moons [02320], and on the solemn feasts [04150], three [07969] times [06471] in the year [08141], even in the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682], and in the feast [02282] of weeks [07620], and in the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]. 14 8 14 And he appointed [05975], according to the order [04941] of David [01732] his father [01], the courses [04256] of the priests [03548] to their service [05656], and the Levites [03881] to their charges [04931], to praise [01984] and minister [08334] before the priests [03548], as the duty [01697] of every day [03117] required [03117]: the porters [07778] also by their courses [04256] at every gate [08179]: for so had David [01732] the man [0376] of God [0430] commanded [04687]. 14 8 15 And they departed [05493] not from the commandment [04687] of the king [04428] unto the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] concerning any matter [01697], or concerning the treasures [0214]. 14 8 16 Now all the work [04399] of Solomon [08010] was prepared [03559] unto the day [03117] of the foundation [04143] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and until it was finished [03615]. So the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] was perfected [08003]. 14 8 17 Then went [01980] Solomon [08010] to Eziongeber [06100], and to Eloth [0359], at the sea [03220] side [08193] in the land [0776] of Edom [0123]. 14 8 18 And Huram [02361] sent [07971] him by the hands [03027] of his servants [05650] ships [0591] [0591], and servants [05650] that had knowledge [03045] of the sea [03220]; and they went [0935] with the servants [05650] of Solomon [08010] to Ophir [0211], and took [03947] thence four [0702] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] talents [03603] of gold [02091], and brought [0935] them to king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 14 9 1 And when the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] heard [08085] of the fame [08088] of Solomon [08010], she came [0935] to prove [05254] Solomon [08010] with hard questions [02420] at Jerusalem [03389], with a very [03966] great [03515] company [02428], and camels [01581] that bare [05375] spices [01314], and gold [02091] in abundance [07230], and precious [03368] stones [068]: and when she was come [0935] to Solomon [08010], she communed [01696] with him of all that was in her heart [03824]. 14 9 2 And Solomon [08010] told [05046] her all her questions [01697]: and there was nothing hid [05956] from Solomon [08010] which he told [05046] her not. 14 9 3 And when the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] had seen [07200] the wisdom [02451] of Solomon [08010], and the house [01004] that he had built [01129], 14 9 4 And the meat [03978] of his table [07979], and the sitting [04186] of his servants [05650], and the attendance [04612] of his ministers [08334], and their apparel [04403]; his cupbearers [08248] also, and their apparel [04403]; and his ascent [05944] by which he went up [05927] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; there was no more spirit [07307] in her. 14 9 5 And she said [0559] to the king [04428], It was a true [0571] report [01697] which I heard [08085] in mine own land [0776] of thine acts [01697], and of thy wisdom [02451]: 14 9 6 Howbeit I believed [0539] not their words [01697], until I came [0935], and mine eyes [05869] had seen [07200] it: and, behold, the one half [02677] of the greatness [04768] of thy wisdom [02451] was not told [05046] me: for thou exceedest [03254] the fame [08052] that I heard [08085]. 14 9 7 Happy [0835] are thy men [0582], and happy [0835] are these thy servants [05650], which stand [05975] continually [08548] before [06440] thee, and hear [08085] thy wisdom [02451]. 14 9 8 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which delighted [02654] in thee to set [05414] thee on his throne [03678], to be king [04428] for the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]: because thy God [0430] loved [0160] Israel [03478], to establish [05975] them for ever [05769], therefore made [05414] he thee king [04428] over them, to do [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666]. 14 9 9 And she gave [05414] the king [04428] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] talents [03603] of gold [02091], and of spices [01314] great [03966] abundance [07230], and precious [03368] stones [068]: neither was there any such spice [01314] as the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] gave [05414] king [04428] Solomon [08010]. 14 9 10 And the servants [05650] also of Huram [02361], and the servants [05650] of Solomon [08010], which brought [0935] gold [02091] from Ophir [0211], brought [0935] algum [0418] trees [06086] and precious [03368] stones [068]. 14 9 11 And the king [04428] made [06213] of the algum [0418] trees [06086] terraces [04546] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and to the king's [04428] palace [01004], and harps [03658] and psalteries [05035] for singers [07891]: and there were none such [01992] seen [07200] before [06440] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. 14 9 12 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] gave [05414] to the queen [04436] of Sheba [07614] all her desire [02656], whatsoever she asked [07592], beside that which she had brought [0935] unto the king [04428]. So she turned [02015], and went away [03212] to her own land [0776], she and her servants [05650]. 14 9 13 Now the weight [04948] of gold [02091] that came [0935] to Solomon [08010] in one [0259] year [08141] was six [08337] hundred [03967] and threescore [08346] and six [08337] talents [03603] of gold [02091]; 14 9 14 Beside that which chapmen [0582] [08446] and merchants [05503] brought [0935]. And all the kings [04428] of Arabia [06152] and governors [06346] of the country [0776] brought [0935] gold [02091] and silver [03701] to Solomon [08010]. 14 9 15 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] made [06213] two hundred [03967] targets [06793] of beaten [07820] gold [02091]: six [08337] hundred [03967] shekels of beaten [07820] gold [02091] went [05927] to one [0259] target [06793]. 14 9 16 And three [07969] hundred [03967] shields [04043] made he of beaten [07820] gold [02091]: three [07969] hundred [03967] shekels of gold [02091] went [05927] to one [0259] shield [04043]. And the king [04428] put [05414] them in the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844]. 14 9 17 Moreover the king [04428] made [06213] a great [01419] throne [03678] of ivory [08127], and overlaid [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091]. 14 9 18 And there were six [08337] steps [04609] to the throne [03678], with a footstool [03534] of gold [02091], which were fastened [0270] to the throne [03678], and stays [03027] on each side of the sitting [03427] place [04725], and two [08147] lions [0738] standing [05975] by [0681] the stays [03027]: 14 9 19 And twelve [08147] [06240] lions [0738] stood [05975] there on the one side and on the other upon the six [08337] steps [04609]. There was not the like made [06213] in any kingdom [04467]. 14 9 20 And all the drinking [04945] vessels [03627] of king [04428] Solomon [08010] were of gold [02091], and all the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the forest [03293] of Lebanon [03844] were of pure [05462] gold [02091]: none were of silver [03701]; it was not any [03972] thing accounted [02803] of in the days [03117] of Solomon [08010]. 14 9 21 For the king's [04428] ships [0591] went [01980] to Tarshish [08659] with the servants [05650] of Huram [02361]: every three [07969] years [08141] once [0259] came [0935] the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] bringing [05375] gold [02091], and silver [03701], ivory [08143], and apes [06971], and peacocks [08500]. 14 9 22 And king [04428] Solomon [08010] passed [01431] all the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] in riches [06239] and wisdom [02451]. 14 9 23 And all the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] sought [01245] the presence [06440] of Solomon [08010], to hear [08085] his wisdom [02451], that God [0430] had put [05414] in his heart [03820]. 14 9 24 And they brought [0935] every man [0376] his present [04503], vessels [03627] of silver [03701], and vessels [03627] of gold [02091], and raiment [08008], harness [05402], and spices [01314], horses [05483], and mules [06505], a rate [01697] year [08141] by year [08141]. 14 9 25 And Solomon [08010] had four [0702] thousand [0505] stalls [0723] for horses [05483] and chariots [04818], and twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571]; whom he bestowed [03240] in the chariot [07393] cities [05892], and with the king [04428] at Jerusalem [03389]. 14 9 26 And he reigned [04910] over all the kings [04428] from the river [05104] even unto the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and to the border [01366] of Egypt [04714]. 14 9 27 And the king [04428] made [05414] silver [03701] in Jerusalem [03389] as stones [068], and cedar trees [0730] made [05414] he as the sycomore trees [08256] that are in the low plains [08219] in abundance [07230]. 14 9 28 And they brought [03318] unto Solomon [08010] horses [05483] out of Egypt [04714], and out of all lands [0776]. 14 9 29 Now the rest [07605] of the acts [01697] of Solomon [08010], first [07223] and last [0314], are they not written [03789] in the book [01697] of Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], and in the prophecy [05016] of Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888], and in the visions [02378] of Iddo [03260] the seer [02374] against Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028]? 14 9 30 And Solomon [08010] reigned [04427] in Jerusalem [03389] over all Israel [03478] forty [0705] years [08141]. 14 9 31 And Solomon [08010] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and he was buried [06912] in the city [05892] of David [01732] his father [01]: and Rehoboam [07346] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 10 1 And Rehoboam [07346] went [03212] to Shechem [07927]: for to Shechem [07927] were all Israel [03478] come [0935] to make him king [04427]. 14 10 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who was in Egypt [04714], whither he had fled [01272] from the presence [06440] of Solomon [08010] the king [04428], heard [08085] it, that Jeroboam [03379] returned [07725] out of Egypt [04714]. 14 10 3 And they sent [07971] and called [07121] him. So Jeroboam [03379] and all Israel [03478] came [0935] and spake [01696] to Rehoboam [07346], saying [0559], 14 10 4 Thy father [01] made our yoke [05923] grievous [07185]: now therefore ease [07043] thou somewhat the grievous [07186] servitude [05656] of thy father [01], and his heavy [03515] yoke [05923] that he put [05414] upon us, and we will serve [05647] thee. 14 10 5 And he said [0559] unto them, Come again [07725] unto me after three [07969] days [03117]. And the people [05971] departed [03212]. 14 10 6 And king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] took counsel [03289] with the old [02205] men that had stood [05975] before [06440] Solomon [08010] his father [01] while he yet lived [02416], saying [0559], What [0349] counsel give [03289] ye me to return [07725] answer [01697] to this people [05971]? 14 10 7 And they spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], If thou be kind [02896] to this people [05971], and please [07521] them, and speak [01696] good [02896] words [01697] to them, they will be thy servants [05650] for ever [03117]. 14 10 8 But he forsook [05800] the counsel [06098] which the old men [02205] gave [03289] him, and took counsel [03289] with the young men [03206] that were brought up [01431] with him, that stood [05975] before [06440] him. 14 10 9 And he said [0559] unto them, What advice [03289] give ye that we may return [07725] answer [01697] to this people [05971], which have spoken [01696] to me, saying [0559], Ease [07043] somewhat the yoke [05923] that thy father [01] did put [05414] upon us? 14 10 10 And the young men [03206] that were brought up [01431] with him spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus shalt thou answer [0559] the people [05971] that spake [01696] unto thee, saying [0559], Thy father [01] made [03513] our yoke [05923] heavy [03513], but make thou it somewhat lighter [07043] for us; thus shalt thou say [0559] unto them, My little [06995] finger shall be thicker [05666] than my father's [01] loins [04975]. 14 10 11 For whereas [06258] my father [01] put [06006] a heavy [03515] yoke [05923] upon you, I will put more [03254] to your yoke [05923]: my father [01] chastised [03256] you with whips [07752], but I will chastise you with scorpions [06137]. 14 10 12 So Jeroboam [03379] and all the people [05971] came [0935] to Rehoboam [07346] on the third [07992] day [03117], as the king [04428] bade [01696], saying [0559], Come again [07725] to me on the third [07992] day [03117]. 14 10 13 And the king [04428] answered [06030] them roughly [07186]; and king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] forsook [05800] the counsel [06098] of the old men [02205], 14 10 14 And answered [01696] them after the advice [06098] of the young men [03206], saying [0559], My father [01] made your yoke [05923] heavy [03513], but I will add [03254] thereto: my father [01] chastised [03256] you with whips [07752], but I will chastise you with scorpions [06137]. 14 10 15 So the king [04428] hearkened [08085] not unto the people [05971]: for the cause [05252] was of God [0430], that the LORD [03068] might perform [06965] his word [01697], which he spake [01696] by the hand [03027] of Ahijah [0281] the Shilonite [07888] to Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028]. 14 10 16 And when all Israel [03478] saw [07200] that the king [04428] would not hearken [08085] unto them, the people [05971] answered [07725] the king [04428], saying [0559], What portion [02506] have we in David [01732]? and we have none inheritance [05159] in the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]: every man [0376] to your tents [0168], O Israel [03478]: and now, David [01732], see [07200] to thine own house [01004]. So all Israel [03478] went [03212] to their tents [0168]. 14 10 17 But as for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] that dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], Rehoboam [07346] reigned [04427] over them. 14 10 18 Then king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] sent [07971] Hadoram [01913] that was over the tribute [04522]; and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] stoned [07275] him with stones [068], that he died [04191]. But king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] made speed [0553] to get him up [05927] to his chariot [04818], to flee [05127] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 10 19 And Israel [03478] rebelled [06586] against the house [01004] of David [01732] unto this day [03117]. 14 11 1 And when Rehoboam [07346] was come [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], he gathered [06950] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144] an hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men, which were warriors [06213] [04421], to fight [03898] against Israel [03478], that he might bring [07725] the kingdom [04467] again [07725] to Rehoboam [07346]. 14 11 2 But the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Shemaiah [08098] the man [0376] of God [0430], saying [0559], 14 11 3 Speak [0559] unto Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010], king [04428] of Judah [03063], and to all Israel [03478] in Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], saying [0559], 14 11 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Ye shall not go up [05927], nor fight [03898] against your brethren [0251]: return [07725] every man [0376] to his house [01004]: for this thing [01697] is done [01961] of me. And they obeyed [08085] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and returned [07725] from going [03212] against Jeroboam [03379]. 14 11 5 And Rehoboam [07346] dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389], and built [01129] cities [05892] for defence [04692] in Judah [03063]. 14 11 6 He built [01129] even Bethlehem [01035], and Etam [05862], and Tekoa [08620], 14 11 7 And Bethzur [01049], and Shoco [07755], and Adullam [05725], 14 11 8 And Gath [01661], and Mareshah [04762], and Ziph [02128], 14 11 9 And Adoraim [0115], and Lachish [03923], and Azekah [05825], 14 11 10 And Zorah [06881], and Aijalon [0357], and Hebron [02275], which are in Judah [03063] and in Benjamin [01144] fenced [04694] cities [05892]. 14 11 11 And he fortified [02388] the strong holds [04694], and put [05414] captains [05057] in them, and store [0214] of victual [03978], and of oil [08081] and wine [03196]. 14 11 12 And in every several city [05892] he put shields [06793] and spears [07420], and made them exceeding [07235] [03966] strong [02388], having Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144] on his side. 14 11 13 And the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] that were in all Israel [03478] resorted [03320] to him out of all their coasts [01366]. 14 11 14 For the Levites [03881] left [05800] their suburbs [04054] and their possession [0272], and came [03212] to Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]: for Jeroboam [03379] and his sons [01121] had cast them off [02186] from executing the priest's office [03547] unto the LORD [03068]: 14 11 15 And he ordained [05975] him priests [03548] for the high places [01116], and for the devils [08163], and for the calves [05695] which he had made [06213]. 14 11 16 And after [0310] them out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] such as set [05414] their hearts [03824] to seek [01245] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 11 17 So they strengthened [02388] the kingdom [04438] of Judah [03063], and made Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010] strong [0553], three [07969] years [08141]: for three [07969] years [08141] they walked [01980] in the way [01870] of David [01732] and Solomon [08010]. 14 11 18 And Rehoboam [07346] took [03947] him Mahalath [04258] the daughter [01323] [01121] of Jerimoth [03406] the son [01121] of David [01732] to wife [0802], and Abihail [032] the daughter [01323] of Eliab [0446] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448]; 14 11 19 Which bare [03205] him children [01121]; Jeush [03266], and Shamariah [08114], and Zaham [02093]. 14 11 20 And after [0310] her he took [03947] Maachah [04601] the daughter [01323] of Absalom [053]; which bare [03205] him Abijah [029], and Attai [06262], and Ziza [02124], and Shelomith [08019]. 14 11 21 And Rehoboam [07346] loved [0157] Maachah [04601] the daughter [01323] of Absalom [053] above all his wives [0802] and his concubines [06370]: (for he took [05375] eighteen [08083] [06240] wives [0802], and threescore [08346] concubines [06370]; and begat [03205] twenty [06242] and eight [08083] sons [01121], and threescore [08346] daughters [01323].) 14 11 22 And Rehoboam [07346] made [05975] Abijah [029] the son [01121] of Maachah [04601] the chief [07218], to be ruler [05057] among his brethren [0251]: for he thought to make him king [04427]. 14 11 23 And he dealt wisely [0995], and dispersed [06555] of all his children [01121] throughout all the countries [0776] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], unto every fenced [04694] city [05892]: and he gave [05414] them victual [04202] in abundance [07230]. And he desired [07592] many [01995] wives [0802]. 14 12 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam [07346] had established [03559] the kingdom [04438], and had strengthened [02393] himself, he forsook [05800] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068], and all Israel [03478] with him. 14 12 2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth [02549] year [08141] of king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] Shishak [07895] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came up [05927] against Jerusalem [03389], because they had transgressed [04603] against the LORD [03068], 14 12 3 With twelve hundred [03967] [0505] chariots [07393], and threescore [08346] thousand [0505] horsemen [06571]: and the people [05971] were without number [04557] that came [0935] with him out of Egypt [04714]; the Lubims [03864], the Sukkiims [05525], and the Ethiopians [03569]. 14 12 4 And he took [03920] the fenced [04694] cities [05892] which pertained to Judah [03063], and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 12 5 Then came [0935] Shemaiah [08098] the prophet [05030] to Rehoboam [07346], and to the princes [08269] of Judah [03063], that were gathered together [0622] to Jerusalem [03389] because [06440] of Shishak [07895], and said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Ye have forsaken [05800] me, and therefore have I also [0637] left [05800] you in the hand [03027] of Shishak [07895]. 14 12 6 Whereupon the princes [08269] of Israel [03478] and the king [04428] humbled [03665] themselves; and they said [0559], The LORD [03068] is righteous [06662]. 14 12 7 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that they humbled [03665] themselves, the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Shemaiah [08098], saying [0559], They have humbled [03665] themselves; therefore I will not destroy [07843] them, but I will grant [05414] them some [04592] deliverance [06413]; and my wrath [02534] shall not be poured out [05413] upon Jerusalem [03389] by the hand [03027] of Shishak [07895]. 14 12 8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants [05650]; that they may know [03045] my service [05656], and the service [05656] of the kingdoms [04467] of the countries [0776]. 14 12 9 So Shishak [07895] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came up [05927] against Jerusalem [03389], and took away [03947] the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004]; he took [03947] all: he carried away [03947] also the shields [04043] of gold [02091] which Solomon [08010] had made [06213]. 14 12 10 Instead of which king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] made [06213] shields [04043] of brass [05178], and committed [06485] them to the hands [03027] of the chief [08269] of the guard [07323], that kept [08104] the entrance [06607] of the king's [04428] house [01004]. 14 12 11 And when [01767] the king [04428] entered [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], the guard [07323] came [0935] and fetched [05375] them, and brought them again [07725] into the guard [07323] chamber [08372]. 14 12 12 And when he humbled [03665] himself, the wrath [0639] of the LORD [03068] turned [07725] from him, that he would not destroy [07843] him altogether [03617]: and also in Judah [03063] things [01697] went well [02896]. 14 12 13 So king [04428] Rehoboam [07346] strengthened [02388] himself in Jerusalem [03389], and reigned [04427]: for Rehoboam [07346] was one [0259] and forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] seventeen [07651] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389], the city [05892] which the LORD [03068] had chosen [0977] out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], to put [07760] his name [08034] there. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Naamah [05279] an Ammonitess [05985]. 14 12 14 And he did [06213] evil [07451], because he prepared [03559] not his heart [03820] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068]. 14 12 15 Now the acts [01697] of Rehoboam [07346], first [07223] and last [0314], are they not written [03789] in the book [01697] of Shemaiah [08098] the prophet [05030], and of Iddo [05714] the seer [02374] concerning genealogies [03187]? And there were wars [04421] between Rehoboam [07346] and Jeroboam [03379] continually [03117]. 14 12 16 And Rehoboam [07346] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Abijah [029] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 13 1 Now in the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Jeroboam [03379] began Abijah [029] to reign [04427] over Judah [03063]. 14 13 2 He reigned [04427] three [07969] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Michaiah [04322] the daughter [01323] of Uriel [0222] of Gibeah [01390]. And there was war [04421] between Abijah [029] and Jeroboam [03379]. 14 13 3 And Abijah [029] set [0631] the battle [04421] in array [0631] with an army [02428] of valiant men [01368] of war [04421], even four [0702] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376]: Jeroboam [03379] also set the battle [04421] in array [06186] against him with eight [08083] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376], being mighty men [01368] of valour [02428]. 14 13 4 And Abijah [029] stood up [06965] upon mount [02022] Zemaraim [06787], which is in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and said [0559], Hear [08085] me, thou Jeroboam [03379], and all Israel [03478]; 14 13 5 Ought ye not to know [03045] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] gave [05414] the kingdom [04467] over Israel [03478] to David [01732] for ever [05769], even to him and to his sons [01121] by a covenant [01285] of salt [04417]? 14 13 6 Yet Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], the servant [05650] of Solomon [08010] the son [01121] of David [01732], is risen up [06965], and hath rebelled [04775] against his lord [0113]. 14 13 7 And there are gathered [06908] unto him vain [07386] men [0582], the children [01121] of Belial [01100], and have strengthened [0553] themselves against Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010], when Rehoboam [07346] was young [05288] and tenderhearted [07390] [03824], and could not withstand [02388] them [06440]. 14 13 8 And now ye think [0559] to withstand [02388] the kingdom [06440] [04467] of the LORD [03068] in the hand [03027] of the sons [01121] of David [01732]; and ye be a great [07227] multitude [01995], and there are with you golden [02091] calves [05695], which Jeroboam [03379] made [06213] you for gods [0430]. 14 13 9 Have ye not cast out [05080] the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], and the Levites [03881], and have made [06213] you priests [03548] after the manner of the nations [05971] of other lands [0776]? so that whosoever cometh [0935] to consecrate [04390] [03027] himself with a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352], the same may be a priest [03548] of them that are no [03808] gods [0430]. 14 13 10 But as for us, the LORD [03068] is our God [0430], and we have not forsaken [05800] him; and the priests [03548], which minister [08334] unto the LORD [03068], are the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], and the Levites [03881] wait upon their business [04399]: 14 13 11 And they burn [06999] unto the LORD [03068] every morning [01242] and every evening [06153] burnt sacrifices [05930] and sweet [05561] incense [07004]: the shewbread [03899] [04635] also set they in order upon the pure [02889] table [07979]; and the candlestick [04501] of gold [02091] with the lamps [05216] thereof, to burn [01197] every evening [06153]: for we keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; but ye have forsaken [05800] him. 14 13 12 And, behold, God [0430] himself is with us for our captain [07218], and his priests [03548] with sounding [08643] trumpets [02689] to cry alarm [07321] against you. O children [01121] of Israel [03478], fight [03898] ye not against the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01]; for ye shall not prosper [06743]. 14 13 13 But Jeroboam [03379] caused an ambushment [03993] to come [0935] about [05437] behind [0310] them: so they were before [06440] Judah [03063], and the ambushment [03993] was behind [0310] them. 14 13 14 And when Judah [03063] looked back [06437], behold, the battle [04421] was before [06440] and behind [0268]: and they cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068], and the priests [03548] sounded [02690] [02690] with the trumpets [02689]. 14 13 15 Then the men [0376] of Judah [03063] gave a shout [07321]: and as the men [0376] of Judah [03063] shouted [07321], it came to pass, that God [0430] smote [05062] Jeroboam [03379] and all Israel [03478] before [06440] Abijah [029] and Judah [03063]. 14 13 16 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] fled [05127] before [06440] Judah [03063]: and God [0430] delivered [05414] them into their hand [03027]. 14 13 17 And Abijah [029] and his people [05971] slew [05221] them with a great [07227] slaughter [04347]: so there fell down [05307] slain [02491] of Israel [03478] five [02568] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] chosen [0977] men [0376]. 14 13 18 Thus the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were brought [03665] under at that time [06256], and the children [01121] of Judah [03063] prevailed [0553], because they relied [08172] upon the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 13 19 And Abijah [029] pursued [07291] after [0310] Jeroboam [03379], and took [03920] cities [05892] from him, Bethel [01008] with the towns [01323] thereof, and Jeshanah [03466] with the towns [01323] thereof, and Ephrain [06085] with the towns [01323] thereof. 14 13 20 Neither did Jeroboam [03379] recover [06113] strength [03581] again in the days [03117] of Abijah [029]: and the LORD [03068] struck [05062] him, and he died [04191]. 14 13 21 But Abijah [029] waxed mighty [02388], and married [05375] fourteen [0702] [06240] wives [0802], and begat [03205] twenty [06242] and two [08147] sons [01121], and sixteen [08337] [06240] daughters [01323]. 14 13 22 And the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Abijah [029], and his ways [01870], and his sayings [01697], are written [03789] in the story [04097] of the prophet [05030] Iddo [05714]. 14 14 1 So Abijah [029] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Asa [0609] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. In his days [03117] the land [0776] was quiet [08252] ten [06235] years [08141]. 14 14 2 And Asa [0609] did [06213] that which was good [02896] and right [03477] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430]: 14 14 3 For he took away [05493] the altars [04196] of the strange [05236] gods, and the high places [01116], and brake down [07665] the images [04676], and cut down [01438] the groves [0842]: 14 14 4 And commanded [0559] Judah [03063] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], and to do [06213] the law [08451] and the commandment [04687]. 14 14 5 Also he took away [05493] out of all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] the high places [01116] and the images [02553]: and the kingdom [04467] was quiet [08252] before [06440] him. 14 14 6 And he built [01129] fenced [04694] cities [05892] in Judah [03063]: for the land [0776] had rest [08252], and he had no war [04421] in those years [08141]; because the LORD [03068] had given him rest [05117]. 14 14 7 Therefore he said [0559] unto Judah [03063], Let us build [01129] these cities [05892], and make about [05437] them walls [02346], and towers [04026], gates [01817], and bars [01280], while the land [0776] is yet before [06440] us; because we have sought [01875] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], we have sought [01875] him, and he hath given us rest [05117] on every side [05439]. So they built [01129] and prospered [06743]. 14 14 8 And Asa [0609] had an army [02428] of men that bare [05375] targets [06793] and spears [07420], out of Judah [03063] three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505]; and out of Benjamin [01144], that bare [05375] shields [04043] and drew [01869] bows [07198], two hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505]: all these were mighty men [01368] of valour [02428]. 14 14 9 And there came out [03318] against them Zerah [02226] the Ethiopian [03569] with an host [02428] of a thousand [0505] thousand [0505], and three [07969] hundred [03967] chariots [04818]; and came [0935] unto Mareshah [04762]. 14 14 10 Then Asa [0609] went out [03318] against [06440] him, and they set the battle [04421] in array [06186] in the valley [01516] of Zephathah [06859] at Mareshah [04762]. 14 14 11 And Asa [0609] cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and said [0559], LORD [03068], it is nothing with thee to help [05826], whether [0996] with many [07227], or with them that have no power [03581]: help [05826] us, O LORD [03068] our God [0430]; for we rest [08172] on thee, and in thy name [08034] we go [0935] against this multitude [01995]. O LORD [03068], thou art our God [0430]; let not man [0582] prevail [06113] against thee. 14 14 12 So the LORD [03068] smote [05062] the Ethiopians [03569] before [06440] Asa [0609], and before [06440] Judah [03063]; and the Ethiopians [03569] fled [05127]. 14 14 13 And Asa [0609] and the people [05971] that were with him pursued [07291] them unto Gerar [01642]: and the Ethiopians [03569] were overthrown [05307], that they could not recover [04241] themselves; for they were destroyed [07665] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and before [06440] his host [04264]; and they carried away [05375] very [03966] much [07235] spoil [07998]. 14 14 14 And they smote [05221] all the cities [05892] round about [05439] Gerar [01642]; for the fear [06343] of the LORD [03068] came upon them: and they spoiled [0962] all the cities [05892]; for there was exceeding much [07227] spoil [0961] in them. 14 14 15 They smote [05221] also the tents [0168] of cattle [04735], and carried away [07617] sheep [06629] and camels [01581] in abundance [07230], and returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 15 1 And the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] came upon Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Oded [05752]: 14 15 2 And he went out [03318] to meet [06440] Asa [0609], and said [0559] unto him, Hear [08085] ye me, Asa [0609], and all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144]; The LORD [03068] is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek [01875] him, he will be found [04672] of you; but if ye forsake [05800] him, he will forsake [05800] you. 14 15 3 Now for a long [07227] season [03117] Israel [03478] hath been without [03808] the true [0571] God [0430], and without a teaching [03384] priest [03548], and without law [08451]. 14 15 4 But when they in their trouble [06862] did turn [07725] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], and sought [01245] him, he was found [04672] of them. 14 15 5 And in those times [06256] there was no peace [07965] to him that went out [03318], nor to him that came in [0935], but great [07227] vexations [04103] were upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the countries [0776]. 14 15 6 And nation [01471] was destroyed [03807] of nation [01471], and city [05892] of city [05892]: for God [0430] did vex [02000] them with all adversity [06869]. 14 15 7 Be ye strong [02388] therefore, and let not your hands [03027] be weak [07503]: for your work [06468] shall be [03426] rewarded [07939]. 14 15 8 And when Asa [0609] heard [08085] these words [01697], and the prophecy [05016] of Oded [05752] the prophet [05030], he took courage [02388], and put away [05674] the abominable idols [08251] out of all the land [0776] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], and out of the cities [05892] which he had taken [03920] from mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and renewed [02318] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], that was before [06440] the porch [0197] of the LORD [03068]. 14 15 9 And he gathered [06908] all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], and the strangers [01481] with them out of Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [04519], and out of Simeon [08095]: for they fell [05307] to him out of Israel [03478] in abundance [07230], when they saw [07200] that the LORD [03068] his God [0430] was with him. 14 15 10 So they gathered themselves together [06908] at Jerusalem [03389] in the third [07992] month [02320], in the fifteenth [02568] [06240] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Asa [0609]. 14 15 11 And they offered [02076] unto the LORD [03068] the same time [03117], of the spoil [07998] which they had brought [0935], seven [07651] hundred [03967] oxen [01241] and seven [07651] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]. 14 15 12 And they entered [0935] into a covenant [01285] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01] with all their heart [03824] and with all their soul [05315]; 14 15 13 That whosoever would not seek [01875] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] should be put to death [04191], whether [04480] small [06996] or great [01419], whether man [0376] or woman [0802]. 14 15 14 And they sware [07650] unto the LORD [03068] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], and with shouting [08643], and with trumpets [02689], and with cornets [07782]. 14 15 15 And all Judah [03063] rejoiced [08055] at the oath [07621]: for they had sworn [07650] with all their heart [03824], and sought [01245] him with their whole desire [07522]; and he was found [04672] of them: and the LORD [03068] gave them rest [05117] round about [05439]. 14 15 16 And also concerning Maachah [04601] the mother [0517] of Asa [0609] the king [04428], he removed [05493] her from being queen [01377], because she had made [06213] an idol [04656] in a grove [0842]: and Asa [0609] cut down [03772] her idol [04656], and stamped [01854] it, and burnt [08313] it at the brook [05158] Kidron [06939]. 14 15 17 But the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493] out of Israel [03478]: nevertheless the heart [03824] of Asa [0609] was perfect [08003] all his days [03117]. 14 15 18 And he brought [0935] into the house [01004] of God [0430] the things that his father [01] had dedicated [06944], and that he himself had dedicated [06944], silver [03701], and gold [02091], and vessels [03627]. 14 15 19 And there was no more war [04421] unto the five [02568] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Asa [0609]. 14 16 1 In the six [08337] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Asa [0609] Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478] came up [05927] against Judah [03063], and built [01129] Ramah [07414], to the intent that [01115] he might let [05414] none go out [03318] or come in [0935] to Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 14 16 2 Then Asa [0609] brought out [03318] silver [03701] and gold [02091] out of the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] and of the king's [04428] house [01004], and sent [07971] to Benhadad [01130] king [04428] of Syria [0758], that dwelt [03427] at Damascus [01834], saying [0559], 14 16 3 There is a league [01285] between me and thee, as there was between my father [01] and thy father [01]: behold, I have sent [07971] thee silver [03701] and gold [02091]; go [03212], break [06565] thy league [01285] with Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that he may depart [05927] from me. 14 16 4 And Benhadad [01130] hearkened [08085] unto king [04428] Asa [0609], and sent [07971] the captains [08269] of his armies [02428] against the cities [05892] of Israel [03478]; and they smote [05221] Ijon [05859], and Dan [01835], and Abelmaim [066], and all the store [04543] cities [05892] of Naphtali [05321]. 14 16 5 And it came to pass, when Baasha [01201] heard [08085] it, that he left off [02308] building [01129] of Ramah [07414], and let his work [04399] cease [07673]. 14 16 6 Then Asa [0609] the king [04428] took [03947] all Judah [03063]; and they carried away [05375] the stones [068] of Ramah [07414], and the timber [06086] thereof, wherewith Baasha [01201] was building [01129]; and he built [01129] therewith Geba [01387] and Mizpah [04709]. 14 16 7 And at that time [06256] Hanani [02607] the seer [07200] came [0935] to Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and said [0559] unto him, Because thou hast relied [08172] on the king [04428] of Syria [0758], and not relied [08172] on the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], therefore is the host [02428] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758] escaped [04422] out of thine hand [03027]. 14 16 8 Were not the Ethiopians [03569] and the Lubims [03864] a huge [07230] host [02428], with very [03966] many [07235] chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571]? yet, because thou didst rely [08172] on the LORD [03068], he delivered [05414] them into thine hand [03027]. 14 16 9 For the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] run to and fro [07751] throughout the whole earth [0776], to shew himself strong [02388] in the behalf of them whose heart [03824] is perfect [08003] toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly [05528]: therefore from henceforth [06258] thou shalt have [03426] wars [04421]. 14 16 10 Then Asa [0609] was wroth [03707] with the seer [07200], and put [05414] him in a prison [04115] house [01004]; for he was in a rage [02197] with him because of this thing. And Asa [0609] oppressed [07533] some of the people [05971] the same time [06256]. 14 16 11 And, behold, the acts [01697] of Asa [0609], first [07223] and last [0314], lo, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] and Israel [03478]. 14 16 12 And Asa [0609] in the thirty [07970] and ninth [08672] year [08141] of his reign [04438] was diseased [02456] in his feet [07272], until his disease [02483] was exceeding [04605] great: yet in his disease [02483] he sought [01875] not to the LORD [03068], but to the physicians [07495]. 14 16 13 And Asa [0609] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and died [04191] in the one [0259] and fortieth [0705] year [08141] of his reign [04427]. 14 16 14 And they buried [06912] him in his own sepulchres [06913], which he had made [03738] for himself in the city [05892] of David [01732], and laid [07901] him in the bed [04904] which was filled [04390] with sweet odours [01314] and divers kinds [02177] of spices prepared [07543] by the apothecaries [04842]' art [04639]: and they made [08313] a very [03966] great [01419] burning [08316] for him. 14 17 1 And Jehoshaphat [03092] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead, and strengthened [02388] himself against Israel [03478]. 14 17 2 And he placed [05414] forces [02428] in all the fenced [01219] cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and set [05414] garrisons [05333] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and in the cities [05892] of Ephraim [0669], which Asa [0609] his father [01] had taken [03920]. 14 17 3 And the LORD [03068] was with Jehoshaphat [03092], because he walked [01980] in the first [07223] ways [01870] of his father [01] David [01732], and sought [01875] not unto Baalim [01168]; 14 17 4 But sought [01875] to the LORD God [0430] of his father [01], and walked [01980] in his commandments [04687], and not after the doings [04639] of Israel [03478]. 14 17 5 Therefore the LORD [03068] stablished [03559] the kingdom [04467] in his hand [03027]; and all Judah [03063] brought [05414] to Jehoshaphat [03092] presents [04503]; and he had riches [06239] and honour [03519] in abundance [07230]. 14 17 6 And his heart [03820] was lifted up [01361] in the ways [01870] of the LORD [03068]: moreover he took away [05493] the high places [01116] and groves [0842] out of Judah [03063]. 14 17 7 Also in the third [07969] year [08141] of his reign [04427] he sent [07971] to his princes [08269], even to Benhail [01134], and to Obadiah [05662], and to Zechariah [02148], and to Nethaneel [05417], and to Michaiah [04322], to teach [03925] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 14 17 8 And with them he sent Levites [03881], even Shemaiah [08098], and Nethaniah [05418], and Zebadiah [02069], and Asahel [06214], and Shemiramoth [08070], and Jehonathan [03083], and Adonijah [0138], and Tobijah [02900], and Tobadonijah [02899], Levites [03881]; and with them Elishama [0476] and Jehoram [03088], priests [03548]. 14 17 9 And they taught [03925] in Judah [03063], and had the book [05612] of the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] with them, and went about [05437] throughout all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and taught [03925] the people [05971]. 14 17 10 And the fear [06343] of the LORD [03068] fell upon all the kingdoms [04467] of the lands [0776] that were round about [05439] Judah [03063], so that they made no war [03898] against Jehoshaphat [03092]. 14 17 11 Also some of the Philistines [06430] brought [0935] Jehoshaphat [03092] presents [04503], and tribute [04853] silver [03701]; and the Arabians [06163] brought [0935] him flocks [06629], seven [07651] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967] rams [0352], and seven [07651] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] hundred [03967] he goats [08495]. 14 17 12 And Jehoshaphat [03092] waxed [01980] great [01432] exceedingly [04605]; and he built [01129] in Judah [03063] castles [01003], and cities [05892] of store [04543]. 14 17 13 And he had much [07227] business [04399] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]: and the men [0582] of war [04421], mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], were in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 17 14 And these are the numbers [06486] of them according to the house [01004] of their fathers [01]: Of Judah [03063], the captains [08269] of thousands [0505]; Adnah [05734] the chief [08269], and with him mighty men [01368] of valour [02428] three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505]. 14 17 15 And next [03027] to him was Jehohanan [03076] the captain [08269], and with him two hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505]. 14 17 16 And next [03027] him was Amasiah [06007] the son [01121] of Zichri [02147], who willingly offered [05068] himself unto the LORD [03068]; and with him two hundred [03967] thousand [0505] mighty men [01368] of valour [02428]. 14 17 17 And of Benjamin [01144]; Eliada [0450] a mighty man [01368] of valour [02428], and with him armed men [05401] with bow [07198] and shield [04043] two hundred [03967] thousand [0505]. 14 17 18 And next [03027] him was Jehozabad [03075], and with him an hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] thousand [0505] ready prepared [02502] for the war [06635]. 14 17 19 These waited [08334] on the king [04428], beside those whom the king [04428] put [05414] in the fenced [04013] cities [05892] throughout all Judah [03063]. 14 18 1 Now Jehoshaphat [03092] had riches [06239] and honour [03519] in abundance [07230], and joined affinity [02859] with Ahab [0256]. 14 18 2 And after [07093] certain years [08141] he went down [03381] to Ahab [0256] to Samaria [08111]. And Ahab [0256] killed [02076] sheep [06629] and oxen [01241] for him in abundance [07230], and for the people [05971] that he had with him, and persuaded [05496] him to go up [05927] with him to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]. 14 18 3 And Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063], Wilt thou go [03212] with me to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]? And he answered [0559] him, I am as thou art, and my people [05971] as thy people [05971]; and we will be with thee in the war [04421]. 14 18 4 And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559] unto the king [04428] of Israel [03478], Enquire [01875], I pray thee, at the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] to day [03117]. 14 18 5 Therefore the king [04428] of Israel [03478] gathered together [06908] of prophets [05030] four [0702] hundred [03967] men [0376], and said [0559] unto them, Shall we go [03212] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568] to battle [04421], or shall I forbear [02308]? And they said [0559], Go up [05927]; for God [0430] will deliver [05414] it into the king's [04428] hand [03027]. 14 18 6 But Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Is there not here a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068] besides, that we might enquire [01875] of him? 14 18 7 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], There is yet one [0259] man [0376], by whom we may enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068]: but I hate [08130] him; for he never prophesied [05012] good [02896] unto me, but always [03117] evil [07451]: the same is Micaiah [04321] the son [01121] of Imla [03229]. And Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Let not the king [04428] say [0559] so. 14 18 8 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] called [07121] for one [0259] of his officers [05631], and said [0559], Fetch quickly [04116] Micaiah [04319] the son [01121] of Imla [03229]. 14 18 9 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063] sat [03427] either [0376] of them on his throne [03678], clothed [03847] in their robes [0899], and they sat [03427] in a void place [01637] at the entering in [06607] of the gate [08179] of Samaria [08111]; and all the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] before [06440] them. 14 18 10 And Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Chenaanah [03668] had made [06213] him horns [07161] of iron [01270], and said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], With these thou shalt push [05055] Syria [0758] until they be consumed [03615]. 14 18 11 And all the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] so, saying [0559], Go up [05927] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568], and prosper [06743]: for the LORD [03068] shall deliver [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the king [04428]. 14 18 12 And the messenger [04397] that went [01980] to call [07121] Micaiah [04321] spake [01696] to him, saying [0559], Behold, the words [01697] of the prophets [05030] declare good [02896] to the king [04428] with one [0259] assent [06310]; let thy word [01697] therefore, I pray thee, be like one [0259] of theirs, and speak [01696] thou good [02896]. 14 18 13 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], even what my God [0430] saith [0559], that will I speak [01696]. 14 18 14 And when he was come [0935] to the king [04428], the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, Micaiah [04318], shall we go [03212] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568] to battle [04421], or shall I forbear [02308]? And he said [0559], Go ye up [05927], and prosper [06743], and they shall be delivered [05414] into your hand [03027]. 14 18 15 And the king [04428] said [0559] to him, How many times [06471] shall I adjure [07650] thee that thou say [01696] nothing but the truth [0571] to me in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]? 14 18 16 Then he said [0559], I did see [07200] all Israel [03478] scattered [06327] upon the mountains [02022], as sheep [06629] that have no shepherd [07462]: and the LORD [03068] said [0559], These have no master [0113]; let them return [07725] therefore every man [0376] to his house [01004] in peace [07965]. 14 18 17 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] to Jehoshaphat [03092], Did I not tell [0559] thee that he would not prophesy [05012] good [02896] unto me, but evil [07451]? 14 18 18 Again he said [0559], Therefore hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; I saw [07200] the LORD [03068] sitting [03427] upon his throne [03678], and all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] standing [05975] on his right hand [03225] and on his left [08040]. 14 18 19 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Who shall entice [06601] Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478], that he may go up [05927] and fall [05307] at Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]? And one spake [0559] saying [0559] after this manner [03602], and another saying [0559] after that manner [03602]. 14 18 20 Then there came out [03318] a spirit [07307], and stood [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], I will entice [06601] him. And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Wherewith? 14 18 21 And he said [0559], I will go out [03318], and be a lying [08267] spirit [07307] in the mouth [06310] of all his prophets [05030]. And the LORD said [0559], Thou shalt entice [06601] him, and thou shalt also prevail [03201]: go out [03318], and do [06213] even so. 14 18 22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD [03068] hath put [05414] a lying [08267] spirit [07307] in the mouth [06310] of these thy prophets [05030], and the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] evil [07451] against thee. 14 18 23 Then Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Chenaanah [03668] came near [05066], and smote [05221] Micaiah [04321] upon the cheek [03895], and said [0559], Which [0335] way [01870] went [05674] the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] from me to speak [01696] unto thee? 14 18 24 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], Behold, thou shalt see [07200] on that day [03117] when thou shalt go [0935] into an inner [02315] chamber [02315] to hide [02244] thyself. 14 18 25 Then the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559], Take [03947] ye Micaiah [04321], and carry him back [07725] to Amon [0526] the governor [08269] of the city [05892], and to Joash [03101] the king's [04428] son [01121]; 14 18 26 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Put [07760] this fellow in the prison [01004] [03608], and feed [0398] him with bread [03899] of affliction [03906] and with water [04325] of affliction [03906], until I return [07725] in peace [07965]. 14 18 27 And Micaiah [04321] said [0559], If thou certainly [07725] return [07725] in peace [07965], then hath not the LORD [03068] spoken [01696] by me. And he said [0559], Hearken [08085], all ye people [05971]. 14 18 28 So the king [04428] of Israel [03478] and Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] went up [05927] to Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]. 14 18 29 And the king [04428] of Israel [03478] said [0559] unto Jehoshaphat [03092], I will disguise [02664] myself, and will go [0935] to the battle [04421]; but put [03847] thou on thy robes [0899]. So the king [04428] of Israel [03478] disguised [02664] himself; and they went [0935] to the battle [04421]. 14 18 30 Now the king [04428] of Syria [0758] had commanded [06680] the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393] that were with him, saying [0559], Fight [03898] ye not with small [06996] or great [01419], save only with the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 14 18 31 And it came to pass, when the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393] saw [07200] Jehoshaphat [03092], that they said [0559], It is the king [04428] of Israel [03478]. Therefore they compassed about [05437] him to fight [03898]: but Jehoshaphat [03092] cried out [02199], and the LORD [03068] helped [05826] him; and God [0430] moved [05496] them to depart from him. 14 18 32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393] perceived [07200] that it was not the king [04428] of Israel [03478], they turned back again [07725] from pursuing [0310] him. 14 18 33 And a certain man drew [04900] a bow [07198] at a venture [08537], and smote [05221] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] between the joints [01694] of the harness [08302]: therefore he said [0559] to his chariot [07395] man [0376], Turn [02015] thine hand [03027], that thou mayest carry me out [03318] of the host [04264]; for I am wounded [02470]. 14 18 34 And the battle [04421] increased [05927] that day [03117]: howbeit the king [04428] of Israel [03478] stayed himself up [05975] in his chariot [04818] against [05227] the Syrians [0758] until the even [06153]: and about the time [06256] of the sun [08121] going down [0935] he died [04191]. 14 19 1 And Jehoshaphat [03092] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] returned [07725] to his house [01004] in peace [07965] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 19 2 And Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607] the seer [02374] went out [03318] to meet [06440] him, and said [0559] to king [04428] Jehoshaphat [03092], Shouldest thou help [05826] the ungodly [07563], and love [0157] them that hate [08130] the LORD [03068]? therefore [02063] is wrath [07110] upon thee from before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 14 19 3 Nevertheless [061] there are good [02896] things [01697] found [04672] in thee, in that thou hast taken away [01197] the groves [0842] out of the land [0776], and hast prepared [03559] thine heart [03824] to seek [01875] God [0430]. 14 19 4 And Jehoshaphat [03092] dwelt [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]: and he went out [03318] again [07725] through the people [05971] from Beersheba [0884] to mount [02022] Ephraim [0669], and brought them back [07725] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 19 5 And he set [05975] judges [08199] in the land [0776] throughout all the fenced [01219] cities [05892] of Judah [03063], city [05892] by city [05892], 14 19 6 And said [0559] to the judges [08199], Take heed [07200] what ye do [06213]: for ye judge [08199] not for man [0120], but for the LORD [03068], who is with you in the judgment [01697] [04941]. 14 19 7 Wherefore now let the fear [06343] of the LORD [03068] be upon you; take heed [08104] and do [06213] it: for there is no iniquity [05766] with the LORD [03068] our God [0430], nor respect [04856] of persons [06440], nor taking [04727] of gifts [07810]. 14 19 8 Moreover in Jerusalem [03389] did Jehoshaphat [03092] set [05975] of the Levites [03881], and of the priests [03548], and of the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Israel [03478], for the judgment [04941] of the LORD [03068], and for controversies [07379], when they returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 19 9 And he charged [06680] them, saying [0559], Thus shall ye do [06213] in the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068], faithfully [0530], and with a perfect [08003] heart [03824]. 14 19 10 And what cause [07379] soever shall come [0935] to you of your brethren [0251] that dwell [03427] in their cities [05892], between blood [01818] and blood [01818], between law [08451] and commandment [04687], statutes [02706] and judgments [04941], ye shall even warn [02094] them that they trespass [0816] not against the LORD [03068], and so wrath [07110] come upon you, and upon your brethren [0251]: this [03541] do [06213], and ye shall not trespass [0816]. 14 19 11 And, behold, Amariah [0568] the chief [07218] priest [03548] is over you in all matters [01697] of the LORD [03068]; and Zebadiah [02069] the son [01121] of Ishmael [03458], the ruler [05057] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063], for all the king's [04428] matters [01697]: also the Levites [03881] shall be officers [07860] before [06440] you. Deal [06213] courageously [02388], and the LORD [03068] shall be with the good [02896]. 14 20 1 It came to pass after this [0310] also, that the children [01121] of Moab [04124], and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and with them other beside the Ammonites [05984], came [0935] against Jehoshaphat [03092] to battle [04421]. 14 20 2 Then there came [0935] some that told [05046] Jehoshaphat [03092], saying [0559], There cometh [0935] a great [07227] multitude [01995] against thee from beyond [05676] the sea [03220] on this side Syria [0758]; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar [02688], which is Engedi [05872]. 14 20 3 And Jehoshaphat [03092] feared [03372], and set [05414] himself [06440] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068], and proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685] throughout [05921] all Judah [03063]. 14 20 4 And Judah [03063] gathered themselves together [06908], to ask [01245] help of the LORD [03068]: even out of all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] they came [0935] to seek [01245] the LORD [03068]. 14 20 5 And Jehoshaphat [03092] stood [05975] in the congregation [06951] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], before [06440] the new [02319] court [02691], 14 20 6 And said [0559], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of our fathers [01], art not thou God [0430] in heaven [08064]? and rulest [04910] not thou over all the kingdoms [04467] of the heathen [01471]? and in thine hand [03027] is there not power [03581] and might [01369], so that none is able to withstand [03320] thee? 14 20 7 Art not thou our God [0430], who didst drive out [03423] the inhabitants [03427] of this land [0776] before [06440] thy people [05971] Israel [03478], and gavest [05414] it to the seed [02233] of Abraham [085] thy friend [0157] for ever [05769]? 14 20 8 And they dwelt [03427] therein, and have built [01129] thee a sanctuary [04720] therein for thy name [08034], saying [0559], 14 20 9 If, when evil [07451] cometh [0935] upon us, as the sword [02719], judgment [08196], or pestilence [01698], or famine [07458], we stand [05975] before [06440] this house [01004], and in thy presence [06440], (for thy name [08034] is in this house [01004],) and cry [02199] unto thee in our affliction [06869], then thou wilt hear [08085] and help [03467]. 14 20 10 And now, behold, the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] and Moab [04124] and mount [02022] Seir [08165], whom thou wouldest not let [05414] Israel [03478] invade [0935], when they came out [0935] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], but they turned [05493] from them, and destroyed [08045] them not; 14 20 11 Behold, I say, how they reward [01580] us, to come [0935] to cast us out [01644] of thy possession [03425], which thou hast given us to inherit [03423]. 14 20 12 O our God [0430], wilt thou not judge [08199] them? for we have no might [03581] against [06440] this great [07227] company [01995] that cometh [0935] against us; neither know [03045] we [0587] what to do [06213]: but our eyes [05869] are upon thee. 14 20 13 And all Judah [03063] stood [05975] before [06440] the LORD [03068], with [01571] their little ones [02945], their wives [0802], and their children [01121]. 14 20 14 Then upon Jahaziel [03166] the son [01121] of Zechariah [02148], the son [01121] of Benaiah [01141], the son [01121] of Jeiel [03273], the son [01121] of Mattaniah [04983], a Levite [03881] of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623], came the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] in the midst [08432] of the congregation [06951]; 14 20 15 And he said [0559], Hearken [07181] ye, all Judah [03063], and ye inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and thou king [04428] Jehoshaphat [03092], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto you, Be not afraid [03372] nor dismayed [02865] by reason [06440] of this great [07227] multitude [01995]; for the battle [04421] is not yours, but God's [0430]. 14 20 16 To morrow [04279] go ye down [03381] against them: behold, they come up [05927] by the cliff [04608] of Ziz [06732]; and ye shall find [04672] them at the end [05490] of the brook [05158], before [06440] the wilderness [04057] of Jeruel [03385]. 14 20 17 Ye shall not need to fight [03898] in this [02063] battle: set [03320] yourselves, stand [05975] ye still, and see [07200] the salvation [03444] of the LORD [03068] with you, O Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]: fear [03372] not, nor be dismayed [02865]; to morrow [04279] go out [03318] against [06440] them: for the LORD [03068] will be with you. 14 20 18 And Jehoshaphat [03092] bowed [06915] his head with his face [0639] to the ground [0776]: and all Judah [03063] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] fell [05307] before [06440] the LORD [03068], worshipping [07812] the LORD [03068]. 14 20 19 And the Levites [03881], of the children [01121] of the Kohathites [06956], and of the children [01121] of the Korhites [07145], stood up [06965] to praise [01984] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] on high [04605]. 14 20 20 And they rose early [07925] in the morning [01242], and went forth [03318] into the wilderness [04057] of Tekoa [08620]: and as they went forth [03318], Jehoshaphat [03092] stood [05975] and said [0559], Hear [08085] me, O Judah [03063], and ye inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; Believe [0539] in the LORD [03068] your God [0430], so shall ye be established [0539]; believe [0539] his prophets [05030], so shall ye prosper [06743]. 14 20 21 And when he had consulted [03289] with the people [05971], he appointed [05975] singers [07891] unto the LORD [03068], and that should praise [01984] the beauty [01927] of holiness [06944], as they went out [03318] before [06440] the army [02502], and to say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 14 20 22 And when [06256] they began [02490] to sing [07440] and to praise [08416], the LORD [03068] set [05414] ambushments [0693] against the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], Moab [04124], and mount [02022] Seir [08165], which were come [0935] against Judah [03063]; and they were smitten [05062]. 14 20 23 For the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] and Moab [04124] stood up [05975] against the inhabitants [03427] of mount [02022] Seir [08165], utterly to slay [02763] and destroy [08045] them: and when they had made an end [03615] of the inhabitants [03427] of Seir [08165], every one [0376] helped [05826] to destroy [04889] another [07453]. 14 20 24 And when Judah [03063] came [0935] toward the watch tower [04707] [04708] in the wilderness [04057], they looked [06437] unto the multitude [01995], and, behold, they were dead bodies [06297] fallen [05307] to the earth [0776], and none escaped [06413]. 14 20 25 And when Jehoshaphat [03092] and his people [05971] came [0935] to take away [0962] the spoil [07998] of them, they found [04672] among them in abundance [07230] both riches [07399] with the dead bodies [06297], and precious [02532] jewels [03627], which they stripped off [05337] for themselves, more than [0369] they could carry away [04853]: and they were three [07969] days [03117] in gathering [0962] of the spoil [07998], it was so much [07227]. 14 20 26 And on the fourth [07243] day [03117] they assembled [06950] themselves in the valley [06010] of Berachah [01294]; for there they blessed [01288] the LORD [03068]: therefore the name [08034] of the same place [04725] was called [07121], The valley [06010] of Berachah [01294], unto this day [03117]. 14 20 27 Then they returned [07725], every man [0376] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and Jehoshaphat [03092] in the forefront [07218] of them, to go again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] with joy [08057]; for the LORD [03068] had made them to rejoice [08055] over their enemies [0341]. 14 20 28 And they came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] with psalteries [05035] and harps [03658] and trumpets [02689] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 20 29 And the fear [06343] of God [0430] was on all the kingdoms [04467] of those countries [0776], when they had heard [08085] that the LORD [03068] fought [03898] against the enemies [0341] of Israel [03478]. 14 20 30 So the realm [04438] of Jehoshaphat [03092] was quiet [08252]: for his God [0430] gave him rest [05117] round about [05439]. 14 20 31 And Jehoshaphat [03092] reigned [04427] over Judah [03063]: he was thirty [07970] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Azubah [05806] the daughter [01323] of Shilhi [07977]. 14 20 32 And he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of Asa [0609] his father [01], and departed [05493] not from it, doing [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 14 20 33 Howbeit the high places [01116] were not taken away [05493]: for as yet the people [05971] had not prepared [03559] their hearts [03824] unto the God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 20 34 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoshaphat [03092], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [01697] of Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Hanani [02607], who is mentioned [05927] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 14 20 35 And after [0310] this did Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063] join [02266] himself with Ahaziah [0274] king [04428] of Israel [03478], who did [06213] very wickedly [07561]: 14 20 36 And he joined [02266] himself with him to make [06213] ships [0591] to go [03212] to Tarshish [08659]: and they made [06213] the ships [0591] in Eziongeber [06100]. 14 20 37 Then Eliezer [0461] the son [01121] of Dodavah [01735] of Mareshah [04762] prophesied [05012] against Jehoshaphat [03092], saying [0559], Because thou hast joined [02266] thyself with Ahaziah [0274], the LORD [03068] hath broken [06555] thy works [04639]. And the ships [0591] were broken [07665], that they were not able [06113] to go [03212] to Tarshish [08659]. 14 21 1 Now Jehoshaphat [03092] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and was buried [06912] with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of David [01732]. And Jehoram [03088] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 21 2 And he had brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092], Azariah [05838], and Jehiel [03171], and Zechariah [02148], and Azariah [05838], and Michael [04317], and Shephatiah [08203]: all these were the sons [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 14 21 3 And their father [01] gave [05414] them great [07227] gifts [04979] of silver [03701], and of gold [02091], and of precious things [04030], with fenced [04694] cities [05892] in Judah [03063]: but the kingdom [04467] gave [05414] he to Jehoram [03088]; because he was the firstborn [01060]. 14 21 4 Now when Jehoram [03088] was risen up [06965] to the kingdom [04467] of his father [01], he strengthened [02388] himself, and slew [02026] all his brethren [0251] with the sword [02719], and divers also of the princes [08269] of Israel [03478]. 14 21 5 Jehoram [03088] was thirty [07970] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eight [08083] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 21 6 And he walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], like as did [06213] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for he had the daughter [01323] of Ahab [0256] to wife [0802]: and he wrought [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 14 21 7 Howbeit the LORD [03068] would [014] not destroy [07843] the house [01004] of David [01732], because of the covenant [01285] that he had made [03772] with David [01732], and as he promised [0559] to give [05414] a light [05216] to him and to his sons [01121] for ever [03117]. 14 21 8 In his days [03117] the Edomites [0123] revolted [06586] from under the dominion [03027] of Judah [03063], and made [04427] themselves a king [04428]. 14 21 9 Then Jehoram [03088] went forth [05674] with his princes [08269], and all his chariots [07393] with him: and he rose up [06965] by night [03915], and smote [05221] the Edomites [0123] which compassed him in [05437], and the captains [08269] of the chariots [07393]. 14 21 10 So the Edomites [0123] revolted [06586] from under the hand [03027] of Judah [03063] unto this day [03117]. The same time [06256] also did Libnah [03841] revolt [06586] from under his hand [03027]; because he had forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of his fathers [01]. 14 21 11 Moreover he made [06213] high places [01116] in the mountains [02022] of Judah [03063], and caused the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] to commit fornication [02181], and compelled [05080] Judah [03063] thereto. 14 21 12 And there came [0935] a writing [04385] to him from Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of David [01732] thy father [01], Because thou hast not walked [01980] in the ways [01870] of Jehoshaphat [03092] thy father [01], nor in the ways [01870] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063], 14 21 13 But hast walked [03212] in the way [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], and hast made Judah [03063] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] to go a whoring [02181], like to the whoredoms [02181] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and also hast slain [02026] thy brethren [0251] of thy father's [01] house [01004], which were better [02896] than thyself: 14 21 14 Behold, with a great [01419] plague [04046] will the LORD [03068] smite [05062] thy people [05971], and thy children [01121], and thy wives [0802], and all thy goods [07399]: 14 21 15 And thou shalt have great [07227] sickness [02483] by disease [04245] of thy bowels [04578], until thy bowels [04578] fall out [03318] by reason of the sickness [02483] day [03117] by day [03117]. 14 21 16 Moreover the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] against Jehoram [03088] the spirit [07307] of the Philistines [06430], and of the Arabians [06163], that were near [05921] [03027] the Ethiopians [03569]: 14 21 17 And they came up [05927] into Judah [03063], and brake [01234] into it, and carried away [07617] all the substance [07399] that was found [04672] in the king's [04428] house [01004], and his sons [01121] also, and his wives [0802]; so that there was never a son [01121] left [07604] him, save Jehoahaz [03059], the youngest [06996] of his sons [01121]. 14 21 18 And after [0310] all this the LORD [03068] smote [05062] him in his bowels [04578] with an incurable [0369] [04832] disease [02483]. 14 21 19 And it came to pass, that in process of time [03117], after [03318] [06256] the end [07093] of two [08147] years [03117], his bowels [04578] fell out [03318] by reason [05973] of his sickness [02483]: so he died [04191] of sore [07451] diseases [08463]. And his people [05971] made [06213] no burning [08316] for him, like the burning [08316] of his fathers [01]. 14 21 20 Thirty [07970] and two [08147] years old [01121] was he when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] in Jerusalem [03389] eight [08083] years [08141], and departed [03212] without being desired [02532]. Howbeit they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732], but not in the sepulchres [06913] of the kings [04428]. 14 22 1 And the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] made [04427] Ahaziah [0274] his youngest [06996] son [01121] king [04427] in his stead: for the band of men [01416] that came [0935] with the Arabians [06163] to the camp [04264] had slain [02026] all the eldest [07223]. So Ahaziah [0274] the son [01121] of Jehoram [03088] king [04428] of Judah [03063] reigned [04427]. 14 22 2 Forty [0705] and two [08147] years [08141] old [01121] was Ahaziah [0274] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] one [0259] year [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Athaliah [06271] the daughter [01323] of Omri [06018]. 14 22 3 He also walked [01980] in the ways [01870] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for his mother [0517] was his counsellor [03289] to do wickedly [07561]. 14 22 4 Wherefore he did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] like the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for they were his counsellors [03289] after [0310] the death [04194] of his father [01] to his destruction [04889]. 14 22 5 He walked [01980] also after their counsel [06098], and went [03212] with Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] king [04428] of Israel [03478] to war [04421] against Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758] at Ramothgilead [07433] [01568]: and the Syrians [07421] smote [05221] Joram [03141]. 14 22 6 And he returned [07725] to be healed [07495] in Jezreel [03157] because of the wounds [04347] which were given [05221] him at Ramah [07414], when he fought [03898] with Hazael [02371] king [04428] of Syria [0758]. And Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Jehoram [03088] king [04428] of Judah [03063] went down [03381] to see [07200] Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Ahab [0256] at Jezreel [03157], because he was sick [02470]. 14 22 7 And the destruction [08395] of Ahaziah [0274] was of God [0430] by coming [0935] to Joram [03141]: for when he was come [0935], he went out [03318] with Jehoram [03088] against Jehu [03058] the son [01121] of Nimshi [05250], whom the LORD [03068] had anointed [04886] to cut off [03772] the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]. 14 22 8 And it came to pass, that, when Jehu [03058] was executing judgment [08199] upon the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and found [04672] the princes [08269] of Judah [03063], and the sons [01121] of the brethren [0251] of Ahaziah [0274], that ministered [08334] to Ahaziah [0274], he slew [02026] them. 14 22 9 And he sought [01245] Ahaziah [0274]: and they caught [03920] him, (for he was hid [02244] in Samaria [08111],) and brought [0935] him to Jehu [03058]: and when they had slain [04191] him, they buried [06912] him: Because, said [0559] they, he is the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092], who sought [01875] the LORD [03068] with all his heart [03824]. So the house [01004] of Ahaziah [0274] had no power [03581] to keep [06113] still the kingdom [04467]. 14 22 10 But when Athaliah [06271] the mother [0517] of Ahaziah [0274] saw [07200] that her son [01121] was dead [04191], she arose [06965] and destroyed [01696] all the seed [02233] royal [04467] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063]. 14 22 11 But Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of the king [04428], took [03947] Joash [03101] the son [01121] of Ahaziah [0274], and stole [01589] him from among [08432] the king's [04428] sons [01121] that were slain [04191], and put [05414] him and his nurse [03243] in a bedchamber [02315] [04296]. So Jehoshabeath [03090], the daughter [01323] of king [04428] Jehoram [03088], the wife [0802] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], (for she was the sister [0269] of Ahaziah [0274],) hid [05641] him from [06440] Athaliah [06271], so that she slew [04191] him not. 14 22 12 And he was with them hid [02244] in the house [01004] of God [0430] six [08337] years [08141]: and Athaliah [06271] reigned [04427] over the land [0776]. 14 23 1 And in the seventh [07637] year [08141] Jehoiada [03077] strengthened [02388] himself, and took [03947] the captains [08269] of hundreds [03967], Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Jeroham [03395], and Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Jehohanan [03076], and Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Obed [05744], and Maaseiah [04641] the son [01121] of Adaiah [05718], and Elishaphat [0478] the son [01121] of Zichri [02147], into covenant [01285] with him. 14 23 2 And they went about [05437] in Judah [03063], and gathered [06908] the Levites [03881] out of all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Israel [03478], and they came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 23 3 And all the congregation [06951] made [03772] a covenant [01285] with the king [04428] in the house [01004] of God [0430]. And he said [0559] unto them, Behold, the king's [04428] son [01121] shall reign [04427], as the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] of the sons [01121] of David [01732]. 14 23 4 This is the thing [01697] that ye shall do [06213]; A third part [07992] of you entering [0935] on the sabbath [07676], of the priests [03548] and of the Levites [03881], shall be porters [07778] of the doors [05592]; 14 23 5 And a third part [07992] shall be at the king's [04428] house [01004]; and a third part [07992] at the gate [08179] of the foundation [03247]: and all the people [05971] shall be in the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 23 6 But let none come [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], save the priests [03548], and they that minister [08334] of the Levites [03881]; they shall go in [0935], for they are holy [06944]: but all the people [05971] shall keep [08104] the watch [04931] of the LORD [03068]. 14 23 7 And the Levites [03881] shall compass [05362] the king [04428] round about [05439], every man [0376] with his weapons [03627] in his hand [03027]; and whosoever else cometh [0935] into the house [01004], he shall be put to death [04191]: but be ye with the king [04428] when he cometh in [0935], and when he goeth out [03318]. 14 23 8 So the Levites [03881] and all Judah [03063] did [06213] according to all things that Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] had commanded [06680], and took [03947] every man [0376] his men [0582] that were to come in [0935] on the sabbath [07676], with them that were to go [03318] out on the sabbath [07676]: for Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] dismissed [06358] not the courses [04256]. 14 23 9 Moreover Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] delivered [05414] to the captains [08269] of hundreds [03967] spears [02595], and bucklers [04043], and shields [07982], that had been king [04428] David's [01732], which were in the house [01004] of God [0430]. 14 23 10 And he set [05975] all the people [05971], every man [0376] having his weapon [07973] in his hand [03027], from the right [03233] side [03802] of the temple [01004] to the left [08042] side [03802] of the temple [01004], along by the altar [04196] and the temple [01004], by the king [04428] round about [05439]. 14 23 11 Then they brought out [03318] the king's [04428] son [01121], and put [05414] upon him the crown [05145], and gave him the testimony [05715], and made him king [04427]. And Jehoiada [03077] and his sons [01121] anointed [04886] him, and said [0559], God save [02421] the king [04428]. 14 23 12 Now when Athaliah [06271] heard [08085] the noise [06963] of the people [05971] running [07323] and praising [01984] the king [04428], she came [0935] to the people [05971] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: 14 23 13 And she looked [07200], and, behold, the king [04428] stood [05975] at his pillar [05982] at the entering in [03996], and the princes [08269] and the trumpets [02689] by the king [04428]: and all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08056], and sounded [08628] with trumpets [02689], also the singers [07891] with instruments [03627] of musick [07892], and such as taught [03045] to sing praise [01984]. Then Athaliah [06271] rent [07167] her clothes [0899], and said [0559], Treason [07195], Treason [07195]. 14 23 14 Then Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548] brought out [03318] the captains [08269] of hundreds [03967] that were set over [06485] the host [02428], and said [0559] unto them, Have her forth [03318] of the ranges [01004] [07713]: and whoso followeth [0935] [0310] her, let him be slain [04191] with the sword [02719]. For the priest [03548] said [0559], Slay [04191] her not in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 23 15 So they laid [07760] hands [03027] on her; and when she was come [0935] to the entering [03996] of the horse [05483] gate [08179] by the king's [04428] house [01004], they slew [04191] her there. 14 23 16 And Jehoiada [03077] made [03772] a covenant [01285] between him, and between all the people [05971], and between the king [04428], that they should be the LORD'S [03068] people [05971]. 14 23 17 Then all the people [05971] went [0935] to the house [01004] of Baal [01168], and brake it down [05422], and brake [07665] his altars [04196] and his images [06754] in pieces [07665], and slew [02026] Mattan [04977] the priest [03548] of Baal [01168] before [06440] the altars [04196]. 14 23 18 Also Jehoiada [03077] appointed [07760] the offices [06486] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], whom David [01732] had distributed [02505] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to offer [05927] the burnt offerings [05930] of the LORD [03068], as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872], with rejoicing [08057] and with singing [07892], as it was ordained by [03027] David [01732]. 14 23 19 And he set [05975] the porters [07778] at the gates [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], that none which was unclean [02931] in any thing [01697] should enter in [0935]. 14 23 20 And he took [03947] the captains [08269] of hundreds [03967], and the nobles [0117], and the governors [04910] of the people [05971], and all the people [05971] of the land [0776], and brought down [03381] the king [04428] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and they came [0935] through [08432] the high [05945] gate [08179] into the king's [04428] house [01004], and set [03427] the king [04428] upon the throne [03678] of the kingdom [04467]. 14 23 21 And all the people [05971] of the land [0776] rejoiced [08055]: and the city [05892] was quiet [08252], after that they had slain [04191] Athaliah [06271] with the sword [02719]. 14 24 1 Joash [03101] was seven [07651] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] forty [0705] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Zibiah [06645] of Beersheba [0884]. 14 24 2 And Joash [03101] did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548]. 14 24 3 And Jehoiada [03077] took [05375] for him two [08147] wives [0802]; and he begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. 14 24 4 And it came to pass after [0310] this, that Joash [03101] was minded [03820] to repair [02318] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 24 5 And he gathered together [06908] the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and said [0559] to them, Go out [03318] unto the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and gather [06908] of all Israel [03478] money [03701] to repair [02388] the house [01004] of your God [0430] from [01767] year [08141] to year [08141], and see that ye hasten [04116] the matter [01697]. Howbeit the Levites [03881] hastened [04116] it not. 14 24 6 And the king [04428] called [07121] for Jehoiada [03077] the chief [07218], and said [0559] unto him, Why hast thou not required [01875] of the Levites [03881] to bring in [0935] out of Judah [03063] and out of Jerusalem [03389] the collection [04864], according to the commandment of Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], and of the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], for the tabernacle [0168] of witness [05715]? 14 24 7 For the sons [01121] of Athaliah [06271], that wicked [04849] woman, had broken up [06555] the house [01004] of God [0430]; and also all the dedicated things [06944] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] did they bestow [06213] upon Baalim [01168]. 14 24 8 And at the king's [04428] commandment [0559] they made [06213] a [0259] chest [0727], and set [05414] it without [02351] at the gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 24 9 And they made [05414] a proclamation [06963] through Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], to bring in [0935] to the LORD [03068] the collection [04864] that Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430] laid upon Israel [03478] in the wilderness [04057]. 14 24 10 And all the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] rejoiced [08055], and brought in [0935], and cast [07993] into the chest [0727], until they had made an end [03615]. 14 24 11 Now it came to pass, that at what time [06256] the chest [0727] was brought [0935] unto the king's [04428] office [06486] by the hand [03027] of the Levites [03881], and when they saw [07200] that there was much [07227] money [03701], the king's [04428] scribe [05608] and the high [07218] priest's [03548] officer [06496] came [0935] and emptied [06168] the chest [0727], and took [05375] it, and carried [07725] it to his place [04725] again [07725]. Thus they did [06213] day [03117] by day [03117], and gathered [0622] money [03701] in abundance [07230]. 14 24 12 And the king [04428] and Jehoiada [03077] gave [05414] it to such as did [06213] the work [04399] of the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and hired [07936] masons [02672] and carpenters [02796] to repair [02318] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and also such as wrought [02796] iron [01270] and brass [05178] to mend [02388] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 24 13 So the workmen [04399] [06213] wrought [06213], and the work [04399] was [05927] perfected [0724] by them [03027], and they set [05975] the house [01004] of God [0430] in his state [04971], and strengthened [0553] it. 14 24 14 And when they had finished [03615] it, they brought [0935] the rest [07605] of the money [03701] before [06440] the king [04428] and Jehoiada [03077], whereof were made [06213] vessels [03627] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], even vessels [03627] to minister [08335], and to offer [05927] withal, and spoons [03709], and vessels [03627] of gold [02091] and silver [03701]. And they offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] continually [08548] all the days [03117] of Jehoiada [03077]. 14 24 15 But Jehoiada [03077] waxed old [02204], and was full [07646] of days [03117] when he died [04191]; an hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] years [08141] old [01121] was he when he died [04194]. 14 24 16 And they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732] among the kings [04428], because he had done [06213] good [02896] in Israel [03478], both toward God [0430], and toward his house [01004]. 14 24 17 Now after [0310] the death [04194] of Jehoiada [03077] came [0935] the princes [08269] of Judah [03063], and made obeisance [07812] to the king [04428]. Then the king [04428] hearkened [08085] unto them. 14 24 18 And they left [05800] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], and served [05647] groves [0842] and idols [06091]: and wrath [07110] came upon Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] for this their trespass [0819]. 14 24 19 Yet he sent [07971] prophets [05030] to them, to bring them again [07725] unto the LORD [03068]; and they testified [05749] against them: but they would not give ear [0238]. 14 24 20 And the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] came [03847] upon Zechariah [02148] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], which stood [05975] above the people [05971], and said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] God [0430], Why transgress [05674] ye the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], that ye cannot prosper [06743]? because ye have forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068], he hath also forsaken [05800] you. 14 24 21 And they conspired [07194] against him, and stoned [07275] him with stones [068] at the commandment [04687] of the king [04428] in the court [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 24 22 Thus Joash [03101] the king [04428] remembered [02142] not the kindness [02617] which Jehoiada [03077] his father [01] had done [06213] to him, but slew [02026] his son [01121]. And when he died [04194], he said [0559], The LORD [03068] look [07200] upon it, and require [01875] it. 14 24 23 And it came to pass at the end [08622] of the year [08141], that the host [02428] of Syria [0758] came up [05927] against him: and they came [0935] to Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and destroyed [07843] all the princes [08269] of the people [05971] from among the people [05971], and sent [07971] all the spoil [07998] of them unto the king [04428] of Damascus [01834]. 14 24 24 For the army [02428] of the Syrians [0758] came [0935] with a small [04705] company of men [0582], and the LORD [03068] delivered [05414] a very [03966] great [07230] host [02428] into their hand [03027], because they had forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. So they executed [06213] judgment [08201] against Joash [03101]. 14 24 25 And when they were departed [03212] from him, (for they left [05800] him in great [07227] diseases [04251],) his own servants [05650] conspired [07194] against him for the blood [01818] of the sons [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], and slew [02026] him on his bed [04296], and he died [04191]: and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732], but they buried [06912] him not in the sepulchres [06913] of the kings [04428]. 14 24 26 And these are they that conspired [07194] against him; Zabad [02066] the son [01121] of Shimeath [08100] an Ammonitess [05985], and Jehozabad [03075] the son [01121] of Shimrith [08116] a Moabitess [04125]. 14 24 27 Now concerning his sons [01121], and the greatness [07235] [07230] of the burdens [04853] laid upon him, and the repairing [03247] of the house [01004] of God [0430], behold, they are written [03789] in the story [04097] of the book [05612] of the kings [04428]. And Amaziah [0558] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 25 1 Amaziah [0558] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] twenty [06242] and nine [08672] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Jehoaddan [03086] of Jerusalem [03389]. 14 25 2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], but not with a perfect [08003] heart [03824]. 14 25 3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom [04467] was established [02388] to him, that he slew [02026] his servants [05650] that had killed [05221] the king [04428] his father [01]. 14 25 4 But he slew [04191] not their children [01121], but did as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] in the book [05612] of Moses [04872], where the LORD [03068] commanded [06680], saying [0559], The fathers [01] shall not die [04191] for the children [01121], neither shall the children [01121] die [04191] for the fathers [01], but every man [0376] shall die [04191] for his own sin [02399]. 14 25 5 Moreover Amaziah [0558] gathered [06908] Judah [03063] together [06908], and made [05975] them captains [08269] over thousands [0505], and captains [08269] over hundreds [03967], according to the houses [01004] of their fathers [01], throughout all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144]: and he numbered [06485] them from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605], and found [04672] them three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] choice [0977] men, able to go forth [03318] to war [06635], that could handle [0270] spear [07420] and shield [06793]. 14 25 6 He hired [07936] also an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] mighty [01368] men of valour [02428] out of Israel [03478] for an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701]. 14 25 7 But there came [0935] a man [0376] of God [0430] to him, saying [0559], O king [04428], let not the army [06635] of Israel [03478] go [0935] with thee; for the LORD [03068] is not with Israel [03478], to wit, with all the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669]. 14 25 8 But if thou wilt go [0935], do [06213] it, be strong [02388] for the battle [04421]: God [0430] shall make thee fall [03782] before [06440] the enemy [0341]: for God [0430] hath [03426] power [03581] to help [05826], and to cast down [03782]. 14 25 9 And Amaziah [0558] said [0559] to the man [0376] of God [0430], But what shall we do [06213] for the hundred [03967] talents [03603] which I have given [05414] to the army [01416] of Israel [03478]? And the man [0376] of God [0430] answered [0559], The LORD [03068] is [03426] able to give [05414] thee much more [07235] than this. 14 25 10 Then Amaziah [0558] separated [0914] them, to wit, the army [01416] that was come [0935] to him out of Ephraim [0669], to go [03212] home [04725] again [03212]: wherefore their anger [0639] was greatly [03966] kindled [02734] against Judah [03063], and they returned [07725] home [04725] in great [02750] anger [0639]. 14 25 11 And Amaziah [0558] strengthened [02388] himself, and led forth [05090] his people [05971], and went [03212] to the valley [01516] of salt [04417], and smote [05221] of the children [01121] of Seir [08165] ten [06235] thousand [0505]. 14 25 12 And other ten [06235] thousand [0505] left alive [02416] did the children [01121] of Judah [03063] carry away captive [07617], and brought [0935] them unto the top [07218] of the rock [05553], and cast them down [07993] from the top [07218] of the rock [05553], that they all were broken in pieces [01234]. 14 25 13 But the soldiers [01121] of the army [01416] which Amaziah [0558] sent back [07725], that they should not go [03212] with him to battle [04421], fell [06584] upon the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], from Samaria [08111] even unto Bethhoron [01032], and smote [05221] three [07969] thousand [0505] of them, and took [0962] much [07227] spoil [0961]. 14 25 14 Now it came to pass, after [0310] that Amaziah [0558] was come [0935] from the slaughter [05221] of the Edomites [0130], that he brought [0935] the gods [0430] of the children [01121] of Seir [08165], and set them up [05975] to be his gods [0430], and bowed down [07812] himself before [06440] them, and burned incense [06999] unto them. 14 25 15 Wherefore the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Amaziah [0558], and he sent [07971] unto him a prophet [05030], which said [0559] unto him, Why hast thou sought [01875] after the gods [0430] of the people [05971], which could not deliver [05337] their own people [05971] out of thine hand [03027]? 14 25 16 And it came to pass, as he talked [01696] with him, that the king said [0559] unto him, Art thou made [05414] of the king's [04428] counsel [03289]? forbear [02308]; why shouldest thou be smitten [05221]? Then the prophet [05030] forbare [02308], and said [0559], I know [03045] that God [0430] hath determined [03289] to destroy [07843] thee, because thou hast done [06213] this, and hast not hearkened [08085] unto my counsel [06098]. 14 25 17 Then Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063] took advice [03289], and sent [07971] to Joash [03101], the son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059], the son [01121] of Jehu [03058], king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Come [03212], let us see one another [07200] in the face [06440]. 14 25 18 And Joash [03101] king [04428] of Israel [03478] sent [07971] to Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], The thistle [02336] that was in Lebanon [03844] sent [07971] to the cedar [0730] that was in Lebanon [03844], saying [0559], Give [05414] thy daughter [01323] to my son [01121] to wife [0802]: and there passed by [05674] a wild [07704] beast [02416] that was in Lebanon [03844], and trode down [07429] the thistle [02336]. 14 25 19 Thou sayest [0559], Lo, thou hast smitten [05221] the Edomites [0123]; and thine heart [03820] lifteth thee up [05375] to boast [03513]: abide [03427] now at home [01004]; why shouldest thou meddle [01624] to thine hurt [07451], that thou shouldest fall [05307], even thou, and Judah [03063] with thee? 14 25 20 But Amaziah [0558] would not hear [08085]; for it came of God [0430], that he might deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies, because they sought [01875] after the gods [0430] of Edom [0123]. 14 25 21 So Joash [03101] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] went up [05927]; and they saw one another [07200] in the face [06440], both he and Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], at Bethshemesh [01053], which belongeth to Judah [03063]. 14 25 22 And Judah [03063] was put to the worse [05062] before [06440] Israel [03478], and they fled [05127] every man [0376] to his tent [0168]. 14 25 23 And Joash [03101] the king [04428] of Israel [03478] took [08610] Amaziah [0558] king [04428] of Judah [03063], the son [01121] of Joash [03101], the son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059], at Bethshemesh [01053], and brought [0935] him to Jerusalem [03389], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] from the gate [08179] of Ephraim [0669] to the corner [06437] gate [08179], four [0702] hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 14 25 24 And he took all the gold [02091] and the silver [03701], and all the vessels [03627] that were found [04672] in the house [01004] of God [0430] with Obededom [05654], and the treasures [0214] of the king's [04428] house [01004], the hostages [01121] [08594] also, and returned [07725] to Samaria [08111]. 14 25 25 And Amaziah [0558] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Judah [03063] lived [02421] after [0310] the death [04194] of Joash [03101] son [01121] of Jehoahaz [03059] king [04428] of Israel [03478] fifteen [02568] [06240] years [08141]. 14 25 26 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Amaziah [0558], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] and Israel [03478]? 14 25 27 Now after the time [06256] that Amaziah [0558] did turn away [05493] from following [0310] the LORD [03068] they made [07194] a conspiracy [07195] against him in Jerusalem [03389]; and he fled [05127] to Lachish [03923]: but they sent [07971] to Lachish [03923] after [0310] him, and slew [04191] him there. 14 25 28 And they brought [05375] him upon horses [05483], and buried [06912] him with his fathers [01] in the city [05892] of Judah [03063]. 14 26 1 Then all the people [05971] of Judah [03063] took [03947] Uzziah [05818], who was sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] old [01121], and made him king [04427] in the room of his father [01] Amaziah [0558]. 14 26 2 He built [01129] Eloth [0359], and restored [07725] it to Judah [03063], after [0310] that the king [04428] slept [07901] with his fathers [01]. 14 26 3 Sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] was Uzziah [05818] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] fifty [02572] and two [08147] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Jecoliah [03203] of Jerusalem [03389]. 14 26 4 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Amaziah [0558] did [06213]. 14 26 5 And he sought [01875] God [0430] in the days [03117] of Zechariah [02148], who had understanding [0995] in the visions [07200] of God [0430]: and as long as [03117] he sought [01875] the LORD [03068], God [0430] made him to prosper [06743]. 14 26 6 And he went forth [03318] and warred [03898] against the Philistines [06430], and brake down [06555] the wall [02346] of Gath [01661], and the wall [02346] of Jabneh [02996], and the wall [02346] of Ashdod [0795], and built [01129] cities [05892] about Ashdod [0795], and among the Philistines [06430]. 14 26 7 And God [0430] helped [05826] him against the Philistines [06430], and against the Arabians [06163] that dwelt [03427] in Gurbaal [01485], and the Mehunims [04586]. 14 26 8 And the Ammonites [05984] gave [05414] gifts [04503] to Uzziah [05818]: and his name [08034] spread abroad [03212] even to the entering [0935] in of Egypt [04714]; for he strengthened [02388] himself exceedingly [04605]. 14 26 9 Moreover Uzziah [05818] built [01129] towers [04026] in Jerusalem [03389] at the corner [06438] gate [08179], and at the valley [01516] gate [08179], and at the turning [04740] of the wall, and fortified [02388] them. 14 26 10 Also he built [01129] towers [04026] in the desert [04057], and digged [02672] many [07227] wells [0953]: for he had much [07227] cattle [04735], both in the low country [08219], and in the plains [04334]: husbandmen [0406] also, and vine dressers [03755] in the mountains [02022], and in Carmel [03760]: for he loved [0157] husbandry [0127]. 14 26 11 Moreover Uzziah [05818] had an host [02428] of fighting [04421] men [06213], that went out [03318] to war [06635] by bands [01416], according to the number [04557] of their account [06486] by the hand [03027] of Jeiel [03273] the scribe [05608] and Maaseiah [04641] the ruler [07860], under the hand [03027] of Hananiah [02608], one of the king's [04428] captains [08269]. 14 26 12 The whole number [04557] of the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428] were two thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967]. 14 26 13 And under their hand [03027] was an army [02428] [06635], three [07969] hundred [03967] thousand [0505] and seven [07651] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967], that made [06213] war [04421] with mighty [02428] power [03581], to help [05826] the king [04428] against the enemy [0341]. 14 26 14 And Uzziah [05818] prepared [03559] for them throughout all the host [06635] shields [04043], and spears [07420], and helmets [03553], and habergeons [08302], and bows [07198], and slings [07050] to cast stones [068]. 14 26 15 And he made [06213] in Jerusalem [03389] engines [02810], invented [04284] by cunning men [02803], to be on the towers [04026] and upon the bulwarks [06438], to shoot [03384] arrows [02671] and great [01419] stones [068] withal. And his name [08034] spread [03318] far abroad [07350]; for he was marvellously [06381] helped [05826], till [03588] he was strong [02388]. 14 26 16 But when he was strong [02393], his heart [03820] was lifted up [01361] to his destruction [07843]: for he transgressed [04603] against the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and went [0935] into the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] to burn incense [06999] upon the altar [04196] of incense [07004]. 14 26 17 And Azariah [05838] the priest [03548] went in [0935] after [0310] him, and with him fourscore [08084] priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], that were valiant [02428] men [01121]: 14 26 18 And they withstood [05975] Uzziah [05818] the king [04428], and said [0559] unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah [05818], to burn incense [06999] unto the LORD [03068], but to the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], that are consecrated [06942] to burn incense [06999]: go out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]; for thou hast trespassed [04603]; neither shall it be for thine honour [03519] from the LORD [03068] God [0430]. 14 26 19 Then Uzziah [05818] was wroth [02196], and had a censer [04730] in his hand [03027] to burn incense [06999]: and while he was wroth [02196] with the priests [03548], the leprosy [06883] even rose up [02224] in his forehead [04696] before [06440] the priests [03548] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], from beside the incense [07004] altar [04196]. 14 26 20 And Azariah [05838] the chief [07218] priest [03548], and all the priests [03548], looked [06437] upon him, and, behold, he was leprous [06879] in his forehead [04696], and they thrust him out [0926] from thence; yea, himself hasted [01765] also to go out [03318], because the LORD [03068] had smitten [05060] him. 14 26 21 And Uzziah [05818] the king [04428] was a leper [06879] unto the day [03117] of his death [04194], and dwelt in [03427] a several [02669] [02669] house [01004], being a leper [06879]; for he was cut off [01504] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and Jotham [03147] his son [01121] was over the king's [04428] house [01004], judging [08199] the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 14 26 22 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Uzziah [05818], first [07223] and last [0314], did Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030], the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], write [03789]. 14 26 23 So Uzziah [05818] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him with his fathers [01] in the field [07704] of the burial [06900] which belonged to the kings [04428]; for they said [0559], He is a leper [06879]: and Jotham [03147] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 27 1 Jotham [03147] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. His mother's [0517] name [08034] also was Jerushah [03388], the daughter [01323] of Zadok [06659]. 14 27 2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his father [01] Uzziah [05818] did [06213]: howbeit he entered [0935] not into the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]. And the people [05971] did yet corruptly [07843]. 14 27 3 He built [01129] the high [05945] gate [08179] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and on the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077] he built [01129] much [07230]. 14 27 4 Moreover he built [01129] cities [05892] in the mountains [02022] of Judah [03063], and in the forests [02793] he built [01129] castles [01003] and towers [04026]. 14 27 5 He fought [03898] also with the king [04428] of the Ammonites [05984], and prevailed [02388] against them. And the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] gave [05414] him the same year [08141] an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] measures [03734] of wheat [02406], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] of barley [08184]. So much did the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] pay [07725] unto [02063] him, both the second [08145] year [08141], and the third [07992]. 14 27 6 So Jotham [03147] became mighty [02388], because he prepared [03559] his ways [01870] before [06440] the LORD [03068] his God [0430]. 14 27 7 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jotham [03147], and all his wars [04421], and his ways [01870], lo, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]. 14 27 8 He was five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 27 9 And Jotham [03147] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892] of David [01732]: and Ahaz [0271] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 28 1 Ahaz [0271] was twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] sixteen [08337] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]: but he did [06213] not that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], like David [01732] his father [01]: 14 28 2 For he walked in [03212] the ways [01870] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478], and made [06213] also molten images [04541] for Baalim [01168]. 14 28 3 Moreover he burnt incense [06999] in the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], and burnt [01197] his children [01121] in the fire [0784], after the abominations [08441] of the heathen [01471] whom the LORD [03068] had cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 14 28 4 He sacrificed [02076] also and burnt incense [06999] in the high places [01116], and on the hills [01389], and under every green [07488] tree [06086]. 14 28 5 Wherefore the LORD [03068] his God [0430] delivered [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Syria [0758]; and they smote [05221] him, and carried away [07617] a great multitude [01419] of them captives [07633], and brought [0935] them to Damascus [01834]. And he was also delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Israel [03478], who smote [05221] him with a great [01419] slaughter [04347]. 14 28 6 For Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425] slew [02026] in Judah [03063] an hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] in one [0259] day [03117], which were all valiant [02428] men [01121]; because they had forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 28 7 And Zichri [02147], a mighty man [01368] of Ephraim [0669], slew [02026] Maaseiah [04641] the king's [04428] son [01121], and Azrikam [05840] the governor [05057] of the house [01004], and Elkanah [0511] that was next [04932] to the king [04428]. 14 28 8 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] carried away captive [07617] of their brethren [0251] two hundred [03967] thousand [0505], women [0802], sons [01121], and daughters [01323], and took also away [0962] much [07227] spoil [07998] from them, and brought [0935] the spoil [07998] to Samaria [08111]. 14 28 9 But a prophet [05030] of the LORD [03068] was there, whose name [08034] was Oded [05752]: and he went out [03318] before [06440] the host [06635] that came [0935] to Samaria [08111], and said [0559] unto them, Behold, because the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01] was wroth [02534] with Judah [03063], he hath delivered [05414] them into your hand [03027], and ye have slain [02026] them in a rage [02197] that reacheth up [05060] unto heaven [08064]. 14 28 10 And now ye purpose [0559] to keep under [03533] the children [01121] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] for bondmen [05650] and bondwomen [08198] unto you: but are there not with you, even [07535] with you, sins [0819] against the LORD [03068] your God [0430]? 14 28 11 Now hear [08085] me therefore, and deliver [07725] the captives [07633] again, which ye have taken captive [07617] of your brethren [0251]: for the fierce [02740] wrath [0639] of the LORD [03068] is upon you. 14 28 12 Then certain [0582] of the heads [07218] of the children [01121] of Ephraim [0669], Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Johanan [03076], Berechiah [01296] the son [01121] of Meshillemoth [04919], and Jehizkiah [03169] the son [01121] of Shallum [07967], and Amasa [06021] the son [01121] of Hadlai [02311], stood up [06965] against them that came [0935] from the war [06635], 14 28 13 And said [0559] unto them, Ye shall not bring in [0935] the captives [07633] hither: for whereas we have offended [0819] against the LORD [03068] already, ye intend [0559] to add [03254] more to our sins [02403] and to our trespass [0819]: for our trespass [0819] is great [07227], and there is fierce [02740] wrath [0639] against Israel [03478]. 14 28 14 So the armed men [02502] left [05800] the captives [07633] and the spoil [0961] before [06440] the princes [08269] and all the congregation [06951]. 14 28 15 And the men [0582] which were expressed [05344] by name [08034] rose up [06965], and took [02388] the captives [07633], and with the spoil [07998] clothed [03847] all that were naked [04636] among them, and arrayed [03847] them, and shod [05274] them, and gave them to eat [0398] and to drink [08248], and anointed [05480] them, and carried [05095] all the feeble [03782] of them upon asses [02543], and brought [0935] them to Jericho [03405], the city [05892] of palm trees [08558] [05899], to [0681] their brethren [0251]: then they returned [07725] to Samaria [08111]. 14 28 16 At that time [06256] did king [04428] Ahaz [0271] send [07971] unto the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] to help [05826] him. 14 28 17 For again the Edomites [0130] had come [0935] and smitten [05221] Judah [03063], and carried away [07617] captives [07628]. 14 28 18 The Philistines [06430] also had invaded [06584] the cities [05892] of the low country [08219], and of the south [05045] of Judah [03063], and had taken [03920] Bethshemesh [01053], and Ajalon [0357], and Gederoth [01450], and Shocho [07755] with the villages [01323] thereof, and Timnah [08553] with the villages [01323] thereof, Gimzo [01579] also and the villages [01323] thereof: and they dwelt [03427] there. 14 28 19 For the LORD [03068] brought [03665] Judah [03063] low [03665] because of Ahaz [0271] king [04428] of Israel [03478]; for he made [06544] Judah [03063] naked [06544], and transgressed [04603] sore [04604] against the LORD [03068]. 14 28 20 And Tilgathpilneser [08407] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935] unto him, and distressed [06696] him, but strengthened [02388] him not. 14 28 21 For Ahaz [0271] took away a portion [02505] out of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and out of the house [01004] of the king [04428], and of the princes [08269], and gave [05414] it unto the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: but he helped [05833] him not. 14 28 22 And in the time [06256] of his distress [06887] did he trespass [04603] yet more [03254] against the LORD [03068]: this is that king [04428] Ahaz [0271]. 14 28 23 For he sacrificed [02076] unto the gods [0430] of Damascus [01834], which smote [05221] him: and he said [0559], Because the gods [0430] of the kings [04428] of Syria [0758] help [05826] them, therefore will I sacrifice [02076] to them, that they may help [05826] me. But they were the ruin [03782] of him, and of all Israel [03478]. 14 28 24 And Ahaz [0271] gathered together [0622] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and cut in pieces [07112] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and shut up [05462] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and he made [06213] him altars [04196] in every corner [06438] of Jerusalem [03389]. 14 28 25 And in every several city [05892] of Judah [03063] he made [06213] high places [01116] to burn incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and provoked to anger [03707] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of his fathers [01]. 14 28 26 Now the rest [03499] of his acts [01697] and of all his ways [01870], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] and Israel [03478]. 14 28 27 And Ahaz [0271] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the city [05892], even in Jerusalem [03389]: but they brought [0935] him not into the sepulchres [06913] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]: and Hezekiah [03169] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 29 1 Hezekiah [03169] began to reign [04427] when he was five [02568] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121], and he reigned [04427] nine [08672] and twenty [06242] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Abijah [029], the daughter [01323] of Zechariah [02148]. 14 29 2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that David [01732] his father [01] had done [06213]. 14 29 3 He in the first [07223] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the first [07223] month [02320], opened [06605] the doors [01817] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and repaired [02388] them. 14 29 4 And he brought in [0935] the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and gathered them together [0622] into the east [04217] street [07339], 14 29 5 And said [0559] unto them, Hear [08085] me, ye Levites [03881], sanctify [06942] now yourselves, and sanctify [06942] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], and carry forth [03318] the filthiness [05079] out of the holy [06944] place. 14 29 6 For our fathers [01] have trespassed [04603], and done [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and have forsaken [05800] him, and have turned away [05437] their faces [06440] from the habitation [04908] of the LORD [03068], and turned [05414] their backs [06203]. 14 29 7 Also they have shut up [05462] the doors [01817] of the porch [0197], and put out [03518] the lamps [05216], and have not burned [06999] incense [07004] nor offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] in the holy [06944] place unto the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 29 8 Wherefore the wrath [07110] of the LORD [03068] was upon Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and he hath delivered [05414] them to trouble [02189] [02113], to astonishment [08047], and to hissing [08322], as ye see [07200] with your eyes [05869]. 14 29 9 For, lo, our fathers [01] have fallen [05307] by the sword [02719], and our sons [01121] and our daughters [01323] and our wives [0802] are in captivity [07628] for this. 14 29 10 Now it is in mine heart [03824] to make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], that his fierce [02740] wrath [0639] may turn away [07725] from us. 14 29 11 My sons [01121], be not now negligent [07952]: for the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] you to stand [05975] before [06440] him, to serve [08334] him, and that ye should minister [08334] unto him, and burn incense [06999]. 14 29 12 Then the Levites [03881] arose [06965], Mahath [04287] the son [01121] of Amasai [06022], and Joel [03100] the son [01121] of Azariah [05838], of the sons [01121] of the Kohathites [06956]: and of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], Kish [07027] the son [01121] of Abdi [05660], and Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Jehalelel [03094]: and of the Gershonites [01649]; Joah [03098] the son [01121] of Zimmah [02155], and Eden [05731] the son [01121] of Joah [03098]: 14 29 13 And of the sons [01121] of Elizaphan [0469]; Shimri [08113], and Jeiel [03273]: and of the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623]; Zechariah [02148], and Mattaniah [04983]: 14 29 14 And of the sons [01121] of Heman [01968]; Jehiel [03171], and Shimei [08096]: and of the sons [01121] of Jeduthun [03038]; Shemaiah [08098], and Uzziel [05816]. 14 29 15 And they gathered [0622] their brethren [0251], and sanctified [06942] themselves, and came [0935], according to the commandment [04687] of the king [04428], by the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], to cleanse [02891] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 29 16 And the priests [03548] went [0935] into the inner part [06441] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to cleanse [02891] it, and brought out [03318] all the uncleanness [02932] that they found [04672] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] into the court [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And the Levites [03881] took [06901] it, to carry it out [03318] abroad [02351] into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939]. 14 29 17 Now they began [02490] on the first [0259] day of the first [07223] month [02320] to sanctify [06942], and on the eighth [08083] day [03117] of the month [02320] came [0935] they to the porch [0197] of the LORD [03068]: so they sanctified [06942] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] in eight [08083] days [03117]; and in the sixteenth [08337] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320] they made an end [03615]. 14 29 18 Then they went [0935] in [06441] to Hezekiah [02396] the king [04428], and said [0559], We have cleansed [02891] all the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the altar [04196] of burnt offering [05930], with all the vessels [03627] thereof, and the shewbread [04635] table [07979], with all the vessels [03627] thereof. 14 29 19 Moreover all the vessels [03627], which king [04428] Ahaz [0271] in his reign [04438] did cast away [02186] in his transgression [04604], have we prepared [03559] and sanctified [06942], and, behold, they are before [06440] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068]. 14 29 20 Then Hezekiah [03169] the king [04428] rose early [07925], and gathered [0622] the rulers [08269] of the city [05892], and went up [05927] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 29 21 And they brought [0935] seven [07651] bullocks [06499], and seven [07651] rams [0352], and seven [07651] lambs [03532], and seven [07651] he [06842] goats [05795], for a sin offering [02403] for the kingdom [04467], and for the sanctuary [04720], and for Judah [03063]. And he commanded [0559] the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] to offer [05927] them on the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068]. 14 29 22 So they killed [07819] the bullocks [01241], and the priests [03548] received [06901] the blood [01818], and sprinkled [02236] it on the altar [04196]: likewise, when they had killed [07819] the rams [0352], they sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196]: they killed [07819] also the lambs [03532], and they sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818] upon the altar [04196]. 14 29 23 And they brought forth [05066] the he goats [08163] for the sin offering [02403] before [06440] the king [04428] and the congregation [06951]; and they laid [05564] their hands [03027] upon them: 14 29 24 And the priests [03548] killed [07819] them, and they made reconciliation [02398] with their blood [01818] upon the altar [04196], to make an atonement [03722] for all Israel [03478]: for the king [04428] commanded [0559] that the burnt offering [05930] and the sin offering [02403] should be made for all Israel [03478]. 14 29 25 And he set [05975] the Levites [03881] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] with cymbals [04700], with psalteries [05035], and with harps [03658], according to the commandment [04687] of David [01732], and of Gad [01410] the king's [04428] seer [02374], and Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030]: for so was the commandment [04687] of [03027] the LORD [03068] by [03027] his prophets [05030]. 14 29 26 And the Levites [03881] stood [05975] with the instruments [03627] of David [01732], and the priests [03548] with the trumpets [02689]. 14 29 27 And Hezekiah [02396] commanded [0559] to offer [05927] the burnt offering [05930] upon the altar [04196]. And when [06256] the burnt offering [05930] began [02490], the song [07892] of the LORD [03068] began [02490] also with the trumpets [02689], and with the instruments [03627] ordained by [03027] David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 14 29 28 And all the congregation [06951] worshipped [07812], and the singers [07892] sang [07891], and the trumpeters [02689] sounded [02690] [02690]: and all this continued until the burnt offering [05930] was finished [03615]. 14 29 29 And when they had made an end [03615] of offering [05927], the king [04428] and all that were present [04672] with him bowed [03766] themselves, and worshipped [07812]. 14 29 30 Moreover Hezekiah [03169] the king [04428] and the princes [08269] commanded [0559] the Levites [03881] to sing praise [01984] unto the LORD [03068] with the words [01697] of David [01732], and of Asaph [0623] the seer [02374]. And they sang praises [01984] with gladness [08057], and they bowed their heads [06915] and worshipped [07812]. 14 29 31 Then Hezekiah [03169] answered [06030] and said [0559], Now ye have consecrated [04390] [03027] yourselves unto the LORD [03068], come near [05066] and bring [0935] sacrifices [02077] and thank offerings [08426] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And the congregation [06951] brought in [0935] sacrifices [02077] and thank offerings [08426]; and as many as were of a free [05081] heart [03820] burnt offerings [05930]. 14 29 32 And the number [04557] of the burnt offerings [05930], which the congregation [06951] brought [0935], was threescore and ten [07657] bullocks [01241], an hundred [03967] rams [0352], and two hundred [03967] lambs [03532]: all these were for a burnt offering [05930] to the LORD [03068]. 14 29 33 And the consecrated things [06944] were six [08337] hundred [03967] oxen [01241] and three [07969] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]. 14 29 34 But the priests [03548] were too few [04592], so that they could [03201] not flay [06584] all the burnt offerings [05930]: wherefore their brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] did help [02388] them, till the work [04399] was ended [03615], and until the other priests [03548] had sanctified [06942] themselves: for the Levites [03881] were more upright [03477] in heart [03824] to sanctify [06942] themselves than the priests [03548]. 14 29 35 And also the burnt offerings [05930] were in abundance [07230], with the fat [02459] of the peace offerings [08002], and the drink offerings [05262] for every burnt offering [05930]. So the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] was set in order [03559]. 14 29 36 And Hezekiah [03169] rejoiced [08055], and all the people [05971], that God [0430] had prepared [03559] the people [05971]: for the thing [01697] was done suddenly [06597]. 14 30 1 And Hezekiah [03169] sent [07971] to all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], and wrote [03789] letters [0107] also to Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [04519], that they should come [0935] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] at Jerusalem [03389], to keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 30 2 For the king [04428] had taken counsel [03289], and his princes [08269], and all the congregation [06951] in Jerusalem [03389], to keep [06213] the passover [06453] in the second [08145] month [02320]. 14 30 3 For they could [03201] not keep [06213] it at that time [06256], because the priests [03548] had not sanctified [06942] themselves sufficiently [04078] [01767], neither had the people [05971] gathered themselves together [0622] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 30 4 And the thing [01697] pleased [03474] [05869] the king [04428] and all the congregation [06951]. 14 30 5 So they established [05975] a decree [01697] to make proclamation [05674] [06963] throughout all Israel [03478], from Beersheba [0884] even to Dan [01835], that they should come [0935] to keep [06213] the passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] at Jerusalem [03389]: for they had not done [06213] it of a long [07230] time in such sort as it was written [03789]. 14 30 6 So the posts [07323] went [03212] with the letters [0107] from [03027] the king [04428] and his princes [08269] throughout all Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], and according to the commandment [04687] of the king [04428], saying [0559], Ye children [01121] of Israel [03478], turn again [07725] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and Israel [03478], and he will return [07725] to the remnant [07604] of you, that are escaped [06413] out of the hand [03709] of the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 14 30 7 And be not ye like your fathers [01], and like your brethren [0251], which trespassed [04603] against the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01], who therefore gave them up [05414] to desolation [08047], as ye see [07200]. 14 30 8 Now be ye not stiffnecked [07185] [06203], as your fathers [01] were, but yield [05414] yourselves [03027] unto the LORD [03068], and enter [0935] into his sanctuary [04720], which he hath sanctified [06942] for ever [05769]: and serve [05647] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], that the fierceness [02740] of his wrath [0639] may turn away [07725] from you. 14 30 9 For if ye turn again [07725] unto the LORD [03068], your brethren [0251] and your children [01121] shall find compassion [07356] before [06440] them that lead them captive [07617], so that they shall come again [07725] into this land [0776]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] is gracious [02587] and merciful [07349], and will not turn away [05493] his face [06440] from you, if ye return [07725] unto him. 14 30 10 So the posts [07323] passed [05674] from city [05892] to city [05892] through the country [0776] of Ephraim [0669] and Manasseh [04519] even unto Zebulun [02074]: but they laughed them to scorn [07832], and mocked [03932] them. 14 30 11 Nevertheless divers [0582] of Asher [0836] and Manasseh [04519] and of Zebulun [02074] humbled [03665] themselves, and came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 30 12 Also in Judah [03063] the hand [03027] of God [0430] was to give [05414] them one [0259] heart [03820] to do [06213] the commandment [04687] of the king [04428] and of the princes [08269], by the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 14 30 13 And there assembled [0622] at Jerusalem [03389] much [07227] people [05971] to keep [06213] the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] in the second [08145] month [02320], a very [03966] great [07230] congregation [06951]. 14 30 14 And they arose [06965] and took away [05493] the altars [04196] that were in Jerusalem [03389], and all the altars for incense [06999] took they away [05493], and cast [07993] them into the brook [05158] Kidron [06939]. 14 30 15 Then they killed [07819] the passover [06453] on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day of the second [08145] month [02320]: and the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] were ashamed [03637], and sanctified [06942] themselves, and brought in [0935] the burnt offerings [05930] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 30 16 And they stood [05975] in their place [05977] after their manner [04941], according to the law [08451] of Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430]: the priests [03548] sprinkled [02236] the blood [01818], which they received of the hand [03027] of the Levites [03881]. 14 30 17 For there were many [07227] in the congregation [06951] that were not sanctified [06942]: therefore the Levites [03881] had the charge of the killing [07821] of the passovers [06453] for every one that was not clean [02889], to sanctify [06942] them unto the LORD [03068]. 14 30 18 For a multitude [04768] of the people [05971], even many [07227] of Ephraim [0669], and Manasseh [04519], Issachar [03485], and Zebulun [02074], had not [03808] cleansed [02891] themselves, yet did they eat [0398] the passover [06453] otherwise than it was written [03789]. But Hezekiah [03169] prayed [06419] for them, saying [0559], The good [02896] LORD [03068] pardon [03722] every one 14 30 19 That prepareth [03559] his heart [03824] to seek [01875] God [0430], the LORD [03068] God [0430] of his fathers [01], though he be not cleansed according to the purification [02893] of the sanctuary [06944]. 14 30 20 And the LORD [03068] hearkened [08085] to Hezekiah [03169], and healed [07495] the people [05971]. 14 30 21 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] that were present [04672] at Jerusalem [03389] kept [06213] the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] seven [07651] days [03117] with great [01419] gladness [08057]: and the Levites [03881] and the priests [03548] praised [01984] the LORD [03068] day [03117] by day [03117], singing with loud [05797] instruments [03627] unto the LORD [03068]. 14 30 22 And Hezekiah [03169] spake [01696] comfortably [03820] unto all the Levites [03881] that taught [07919] the good [02896] knowledge [07922] of the LORD [03068]: and they did eat [0398] throughout the feast [04150] seven [07651] days [03117], offering [02076] peace [08002] offerings [02077], and making confession [03034] to the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 30 23 And the whole assembly [06951] took counsel [03289] to keep [06213] other [0312] seven [07651] days [03117]: and they kept [06213] other seven [07651] days [03117] with gladness [08057]. 14 30 24 For Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] did give [07311] to the congregation [06951] a thousand [0505] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]; and the princes [08269] gave [07311] to the congregation [06951] a thousand [0505] bullocks [06499] and ten [06235] thousand [0505] sheep [06629]: and a great number [07230] of priests [03548] sanctified [06942] themselves. 14 30 25 And all the congregation [06951] of Judah [03063], with the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and all the congregation [06951] that came out [0935] of Israel [03478], and the strangers [01616] that came out [0935] of the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and that dwelt [03427] in Judah [03063], rejoiced [08055]. 14 30 26 So there was great [01419] joy [08057] in Jerusalem [03389]: for since the time [03117] of Solomon [08010] the son [01121] of David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478] there was not the like in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 30 27 Then the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] arose [06965] and blessed [01288] the people [05971]: and their voice [06963] was heard [08085], and their prayer [08605] came [0935] up to his holy [06944] dwelling place [04583], even unto heaven [08064]. 14 31 1 Now when all this was finished [03615], all Israel [03478] that were present [04672] went out [03318] to the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and brake [07665] the images [04676] in pieces [07665], and cut down [01438] the groves [0842], and threw down [05422] the high places [01116] and the altars [04196] out of all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], in Ephraim [0669] also and Manasseh [04519], until they had utterly destroyed [03615] them all. Then all the children [01121] of Israel [03478] returned [07725], every man [0376] to his possession [0272], into their own cities [05892]. 14 31 2 And Hezekiah [03169] appointed [05975] the courses [04256] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] after their courses [04256], every man [0376] according [06310] to his service [05656], the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] for burnt offerings [05930] and for peace offerings [08002], to minister [08334], and to give thanks [03034], and to praise [01984] in the gates [08179] of the tents [04264] of the LORD [03068]. 14 31 3 He appointed also the king's [04428] portion [04521] of his substance [07399] for the burnt offerings [05930], to wit, for the morning [01242] and evening [06153] burnt offerings [05930], and the burnt offerings [05930] for the sabbaths [07676], and for the new moons [02320], and for the set feasts [04150], as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068]. 14 31 4 Moreover he commanded [0559] the people [05971] that dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] to give [05414] the portion [04521] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], that they might be encouraged [02388] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068]. 14 31 5 And as soon as the commandment [01697] came abroad [06555], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] brought [0935] in abundance [07235] the firstfruits [07225] of corn [01715], wine [08492], and oil [03323], and honey [01706], and of all the increase [08393] of the field [07704]; and the tithe [04643] of all things brought [0935] they in abundantly [07230]. 14 31 6 And concerning the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], that dwelt [03427] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], they also brought in [0935] the tithe [04643] of oxen [01241] and sheep [06629], and the tithe [04643] of holy things [06944] which were consecrated [06942] unto the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and laid [05414] them by heaps [06194] [06194]. 14 31 7 In the third [07992] month [02320] they began [02490] to lay the foundation [03245] of the heaps [06194], and finished [03615] them in the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 14 31 8 And when Hezekiah [03169] and the princes [08269] came [0935] and saw [07200] the heaps [06194], they blessed [01288] the LORD [03068], and his people [05971] Israel [03478]. 14 31 9 Then Hezekiah [03169] questioned [01875] with the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] concerning the heaps [06194]. 14 31 10 And Azariah [05838] the chief [07218] priest [03548] of the house [01004] of Zadok [06659] answered [0559] him, and said [0559], Since the people began [02490] to bring [0935] the offerings [08641] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], we have had enough [07646] to eat [0398], and have left [03498] plenty [07230]: for the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288] his people [05971]; and that which is left [03498] is this great store [01995]. 14 31 11 Then Hezekiah [03169] commanded [0559] to prepare [03559] chambers [03957] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; and they prepared [03559] them, 14 31 12 And brought in [0935] the offerings [08641] and the tithes [04643] and the dedicated [06944] things faithfully [0530]: over which Cononiah [03562] the Levite [03881] was ruler [05057], and Shimei [08096] his brother [0251] was the next [04932]. 14 31 13 And Jehiel [03171], and Azaziah [05812], and Nahath [05184], and Asahel [06214], and Jerimoth [03406], and Jozabad [03107], and Eliel [0447], and Ismachiah [03253], and Mahath [04287], and Benaiah [01141], were overseers [06496] under the hand [03027] of Cononiah [03562] and Shimei [08096] his brother [0251], at the commandment [04662] of Hezekiah [03169] the king [04428], and Azariah [05838] the ruler [05057] of the house [01004] of God [0430]. 14 31 14 And Kore [06981] the son [01121] of Imnah [03232] the Levite [03881], the porter [07778] toward the east [04217], was over the freewill offerings [05071] of God [0430], to distribute [05414] the oblations [08641] of the LORD [03068], and the most [06944] holy things [06944]. 14 31 15 And next him were Eden [05731], and Miniamin [04509], and Jeshua [03442], and Shemaiah [08098], Amariah [0568], and Shecaniah [07935], in the cities [05892] of the priests [03548], in their set office [0530], to give [05414] to their brethren [0251] by [03027] courses [04256], as well to the great [01419] as to the small [06996]: 14 31 16 Beside their genealogy [03187] of males [02145], from three [07969] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], even unto every one that entereth [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], his daily [03117] [03117] portion [01697] for their service [05656] in their charges [04931] according to their courses [04256]; 14 31 17 Both to the genealogy [03187] of the priests [03548] by the house [01004] of their fathers [01], and the Levites [03881] from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], in their charges [04931] by their courses [04256]; 14 31 18 And to the genealogy [03187] of all their little ones [02945], their wives [0802], and their sons [01121], and their daughters [01323], through all the congregation [06951]: for in their set office [0530] they sanctified [06942] themselves in holiness [06944]: 14 31 19 Also of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priests [03548], which were in the fields [07704] of the suburbs [04054] of their cities [05892], in every several city [05892], the men [0582] that were expressed [05344] by name [08034], to give [05414] portions [04490] to all the males [02145] among the priests [03548], and to all that were reckoned by genealogies [03187] among the Levites [03881]. 14 31 20 And thus did [06213] Hezekiah [03169] throughout all Judah [03063], and wrought [06213] that which was good [02896] and right [03477] and truth [0571] before [06440] the LORD [03068] his God [0430]. 14 31 21 And in every work [04639] that he began [02490] in the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and in the law [08451], and in the commandments [04687], to seek [01875] his God [0430], he did [06213] it with all his heart [03824], and prospered [06743]. 14 32 1 After [0310] these things [01697], and the establishment [0571] thereof, Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935], and entered [0935] into Judah [03063], and encamped [02583] against the fenced [01219] cities [05892], and thought [0559] to win [01234] them for himself. 14 32 2 And when Hezekiah [03169] saw [07200] that Sennacherib [05576] was come [0935], and that he was purposed [06440] to fight [04421] against Jerusalem [03389], 14 32 3 He took counsel [03289] with his princes [08269] and his mighty men [01368] to stop [05640] the waters [04325] of the fountains [05869] which were without [02351] the city [05892]: and they did help [05826] him. 14 32 4 So there was gathered [06908] much [07227] people [05971] together [06908], who stopped [05640] all the fountains [04599], and the brook [05158] that ran [07857] through the midst [08432] of the land [0776], saying [0559], Why should the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] come [0935], and find [04672] much [07227] water [04325]? 14 32 5 Also he strengthened [02388] himself, and built up [01129] all the wall [02346] that was broken [06555], and raised it up [05927] to the towers [04026], and another [0312] wall [02346] without [02351], and repaired [02388] Millo [04407] in the city [05892] of David [01732], and made [06213] darts [07973] and shields [04043] in abundance [07230]. 14 32 6 And he set [05414] captains [08269] of war [04421] over the people [05971], and gathered them together [06908] to him in the street [07339] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892], and spake [01696] comfortably [03824] to them, saying [0559], 14 32 7 Be strong [02388] and courageous [0553], be not afraid [03372] nor dismayed [02865] for [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], nor for all the multitude [01995] that is with him: for there be more [07227] with us than with him: 14 32 8 With him is an arm [02220] of flesh [01320]; but with us is the LORD [03068] our God [0430] to help [05826] us, and to fight [03898] our battles [04421]. And the people [05971] rested [05564] themselves upon the words [01697] of Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 14 32 9 After [0310] this did Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] send [07971] his servants [05650] to Jerusalem [03389], (but he himself laid siege against Lachish [03923], and all his power [04475] with him,) unto Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and unto all Judah [03063] that were at Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], 14 32 10 Thus saith [0559] Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804], Whereon do ye trust [0982], that ye abide [03427] in the siege [04692] in Jerusalem [03389]? 14 32 11 Doth not Hezekiah [03169] persuade [05496] you to give [05414] over yourselves to die [04191] by famine [07458] and by thirst [06772], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall deliver [05337] us out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]? 14 32 12 Hath not the same Hezekiah [03169] taken away [05493] his high places [01116] and his altars [04196], and commanded [0559] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Ye shall worship [07812] before [06440] one [0259] altar [04196], and burn incense [06999] upon it? 14 32 13 Know [03045] ye not what I and my fathers [01] have done [06213] unto all the people [05971] of other lands [0776]? were the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] of those lands [0776] any ways [03201] able [03201] to deliver [05337] their lands [0776] out of mine hand [03027]? 14 32 14 Who was there among all the gods [0430] of those nations [01471] that my fathers [01] utterly destroyed [02763], that could [03201] deliver [05337] his people [05971] out of mine hand [03027], that your God [0430] should be able [03201] to deliver [05337] you out of mine hand [03027]? 14 32 15 Now therefore let not [03808] Hezekiah [02396] deceive [05377] you, nor persuade [05496] you on this manner, neither yet believe [0539] him: for no god [0433] of any nation [01471] or kingdom [04467] was able [03201] to deliver [05337] his people [05971] out of mine hand [03027], and out of the hand [03027] of my fathers [01]: how much less shall your God [0430] deliver [05337] you out of mine hand [03027]? 14 32 16 And his servants [05650] spake [01696] yet more against the LORD [03068] God [0430], and against his servant [05650] Hezekiah [03169]. 14 32 17 He wrote [03789] also letters [05612] to rail [02778] on the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], and to speak [0559] against him, saying [0559], As the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] of other lands [0776] have not delivered [05337] their people [05971] out of mine hand [03027], so shall not the God [0430] of Hezekiah [03169] deliver [05337] his people [05971] out of mine hand [03027]. 14 32 18 Then they cried [07121] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] in the Jews' speech [03066] unto the people [05971] of Jerusalem [03389] that were on the wall [02346], to affright [03372] them, and to trouble [0926] them; that they might take [03920] the city [05892]. 14 32 19 And they spake [01696] against [05921] the God [0430] of Jerusalem [03389], as against the gods [0430] of the people [05971] of the earth [0776], which were the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of man [0120]. 14 32 20 And for this cause Hezekiah [03169] the king [04428], and the prophet [05030] Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], prayed [06419] and cried [02199] to heaven [08064]. 14 32 21 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] an angel [04397], which cut off [03582] all the mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], and the leaders [05057] and captains [08269] in the camp [04264] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. So he returned [07725] with shame [01322] of face [06440] to his own land [0776]. And when he was come [0935] into the house [01004] of his god [0430], they that came forth [03329] of his own bowels [04578] slew [05307] him there with the sword [02719]. 14 32 22 Thus the LORD [03068] saved [03467] Hezekiah [03169] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] from the hand [03027] of Sennacherib [05576] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and from the hand [03027] of all other, and guided [05095] them on every side [05439]. 14 32 23 And many [07227] brought [0935] gifts [04503] unto the LORD [03068] to Jerusalem [03389], and presents [04030] to Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063]: so that he was magnified [05375] in the sight [05869] of all nations [01471] from thenceforth [0310]. 14 32 24 In those days [03117] Hezekiah [03169] was sick [02470] to the death [04191], and prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068]: and he spake [0559] unto him, and he gave [05414] him a sign [04159]. 14 32 25 But Hezekiah [03169] rendered not again [07725] according to the benefit [01576] done unto him; for his heart [03820] was lifted up [01361]: therefore there was wrath [07110] upon him, and upon Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 14 32 26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah [03169] humbled [03665] himself for the pride [01363] of his heart [03820], both he and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], so that the wrath [07110] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] not upon them in the days [03117] of Hezekiah [03169]. 14 32 27 And Hezekiah [03169] had exceeding [03966] much [07235] riches [06239] and honour [03519]: and he made [06213] himself treasuries [0214] for silver [03701], and for gold [02091], and for precious [03368] stones [068], and for spices [01314], and for shields [04043], and for all manner of pleasant [02532] jewels [03627]; 14 32 28 Storehouses [04543] also for the increase [08393] of corn [01715], and wine [08492], and oil [03323]; and stalls [0723] for all manner of beasts [0929], and cotes [0220] for flocks [05739]. 14 32 29 Moreover he provided [06213] him cities [05892], and possessions [04735] of flocks [06629] and herds [01241] in abundance [07230]: for God [0430] had given [05414] him substance [07399] very [03966] much [07227]. 14 32 30 This same Hezekiah [03169] also stopped [05640] the upper [05945] watercourse [04161] [04325] of Gihon [01521], and brought it straight [03474] down [04295] to the west side [04628] of the city [05892] of David [01732]. And Hezekiah [03169] prospered [06743] in all his works [04639]. 14 32 31 Howbeit [03651] in the business of the ambassadors [03887] of the princes [08269] of Babylon [0894], who sent [07971] unto him to enquire [01875] of the wonder [04159] that was done in the land [0776], God [0430] left [05800] him, to try [05254] him, that he might know [03045] all that was in his heart [03824]. 14 32 32 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Hezekiah [03169], and his goodness [02617], behold, they are written [03789] in the vision [02377] of Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030], the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], and in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] and Israel [03478]. 14 32 33 And Hezekiah [03169] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in the chiefest [04608] of the sepulchres [06913] of the sons [01121] of David [01732]: and all Judah [03063] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] did him [06213] honour [03519] at his death [04194]. And Manasseh [04519] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 33 1 Manasseh [04519] was twelve [08147] [06240] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] fifty [02572] and five [02568] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]: 14 33 2 But did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], like unto the abominations [08441] of the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] had cast out [03423] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 14 33 3 For he built [01129] again [07725] the high places [01116] which Hezekiah [03169] his father [01] had broken down [05422], and he reared up [06965] altars [04196] for Baalim [01168], and made [06213] groves [0842], and worshipped [07812] all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and served [05647] them. 14 33 4 Also he built [01129] altars [04196] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], whereof the LORD [03068] had said [0559], In Jerusalem [03389] shall my name [08034] be for ever [05769]. 14 33 5 And he built [01129] altars [04196] for all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] in the two [08147] courts [02691] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 33 6 And he caused [05674] his children [01121] to pass through [05674] the fire [0784] in the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011]: also he observed times [06049], and used enchantments [05172], and used witchcraft [03784], and dealt [06213] with a familiar spirit [0178], and with wizards [03049]: he wrought [06213] much [07235] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], to provoke him to anger [03707]. 14 33 7 And he set [07760] a carved image [06459], the idol [05566] which he had made [06213], in the house [01004] of God [0430], of which God [0430] had said [0559] to David [01732] and to Solomon [08010] his son [01121], In this house [01004], and in Jerusalem [03389], which I have chosen [0977] before all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], will I put [07760] my name [08034] for ever [05865]: 14 33 8 Neither will I any more [03254] remove [05493] the foot [07272] of Israel [03478] from out [05921] of the land [0127] which I have appointed [05975] for your fathers [01]; so that [0518] they will take heed [08104] to do [06213] all that I have commanded [06680] them, according to the whole law [08451] and the statutes [02706] and the ordinances [04941] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 14 33 9 So Manasseh [04519] made [08582] Judah [03063] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] to err [08582], and to do [06213] worse [07451] than the heathen [01471], whom the LORD [03068] had destroyed [08045] before [06440] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 14 33 10 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] to Manasseh [04519], and to his people [05971]: but they would not hearken [07181]. 14 33 11 Wherefore the LORD [03068] brought [0935] upon them the captains of [08269] the host of [06635] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], which took [03920] Manasseh [04519] among the thorns [02336], and bound him [0631] with fetters [05178], and carried [03212] him to Babylon [0894]. 14 33 12 And when he was in affliction [06887], he besought [02470] the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and humbled [03665] himself greatly [03966] before [06440] the God [0430] of his fathers [01], 14 33 13 And prayed [06419] unto him: and he was intreated [06279] of him, and heard [08085] his supplication [08467], and brought him again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] into his kingdom [04438]. Then Manasseh [04519] knew [03045] that the LORD [03068] he was God [0430]. 14 33 14 Now after this [0310] he built [01129] a wall [02346] without [02435] the city [05892] of David [01732], on the west side [04628] of Gihon [01521], in the valley [05158], even to the entering in [0935] at the fish [01709] gate [08179], and compassed [05437] about Ophel [06077], and raised it up [01361] a very great height [03966], and put [07760] captains [08269] of war [02428] in all the fenced [01219] cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 14 33 15 And he took away [05493] the strange [05236] gods [0430], and the idol [05566] out of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and all the altars [04196] that he had built [01129] in the mount [02022] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in Jerusalem [03389], and cast [07993] them out [02351] of the city [05892]. 14 33 16 And he repaired [01129] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], and sacrificed [02076] thereon peace [08002] offerings [02077] and thank offerings [08426], and commanded [0559] Judah [03063] to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 33 17 Nevertheless [061] the people [05971] did sacrifice [02076] still in the high places [01116], yet unto the LORD [03068] their God [0430] only. 14 33 18 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Manasseh [04519], and his prayer [08605] unto his God [0430], and the words [01697] of the seers [02374] that spake [01696] to him in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], behold, they are written in the book [01697] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 14 33 19 His prayer [08605] also, and how God was intreated [06279] of him, and all his sin [02403], and his trespass [04604], and the places [04725] wherein he built [01129] high places [01116], and set up [05975] groves [0842] and graven images [06456], before [06440] he was humbled [03665]: behold, they are written [03789] among the sayings [01697] of the seers [02374] [02335]. 14 33 20 So Manasseh [04519] slept [07901] with his fathers [01], and they buried [06912] him in his own house [01004]: and Amon [0526] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 33 21 Amon [0526] was two [08147] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] two [08147] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 33 22 But he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], as did [06213] Manasseh [04519] his father [01]: for Amon [0526] sacrificed [02076] unto all the carved images [06456] which Manasseh [04519] his father [01] had made [06213], and served [05647] them; 14 33 23 And humbled [03665] not himself before [06440] the LORD [03068], as Manasseh [04519] his father [01] had humbled [03665] himself; but Amon [0526] trespassed [0819] more and more [07235]. 14 33 24 And his servants [05650] conspired [07194] against him, and slew [04191] him in his own house [01004]. 14 33 25 But the people [05971] of the land [0776] slew [05221] all them that had conspired [07194] against king [04428] Amon [0526]; and the people [05971] of the land [0776] made [04427] Josiah [02977] his son [01121] king [04427] in his stead. 14 34 1 Josiah [02977] was eight [08083] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] in Jerusalem [03389] one [0259] and thirty [07970] years [08141]. 14 34 2 And he did [06213] that which was right [03477] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and walked [03212] in the ways [01870] of David [01732] his father [01], and declined [05493] neither to the right hand [03225], nor to the left [08040]. 14 34 3 For in the eighth [08083] year [08141] of his reign [04427], while he was yet young [05288], he began [02490] to seek [01875] after the God [0430] of David [01732] his father [01]: and in the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141] he began [02490] to purge [02891] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] from the high places [01116], and the groves [0842], and the carved images [06456], and the molten images [04541]. 14 34 4 And they brake down [05422] the altars [04196] of Baalim [01168] in his presence [06440]; and the images [02553], that were on high above them [04605], he cut down [01438]; and the groves [0842], and the carved images [06456], and the molten images [04541], he brake in pieces [07665], and made dust [01854] of them, and strowed [02236] it upon [06440] the graves [06913] of them that had sacrificed [02076] unto them. 14 34 5 And he burnt [08313] the bones [06106] of the priests [03548] upon their altars [04196], and cleansed [02891] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 14 34 6 And so did he in the cities [05892] of Manasseh [04519], and Ephraim [0669], and Simeon [08095], even unto Naphtali [05321], with their mattocks [02719] round about [05439]. 14 34 7 And when he had broken down [05422] the altars [04196] and the groves [0842], and had beaten [03807] the graven images [06456] into powder [01854], and cut down [01438] all the idols [02553] throughout all the land [0776] of Israel [03478], he returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 34 8 Now in the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of his reign [04427], when he had purged [02891] the land [0776], and the house [01004], he sent [07971] Shaphan [08227] the son [01121] of Azaliah [0683], and Maaseiah [04641] the governor [08269] of the city [05892], and Joah [03098] the son [01121] of Joahaz [03099] the recorder [02142], to repair [02388] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430]. 14 34 9 And when they came [0935] to Hilkiah [02518] the high [01419] priest [03548], they delivered [05414] the money [03701] that was brought [0935] into the house [01004] of God [0430], which the Levites [03881] that kept [08104] the doors [05592] had gathered [0622] of the hand [03027] of Manasseh [04519] and Ephraim [0669], and of all the remnant [07611] of Israel [03478], and of all Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144]; and they returned [07725] [03427] to Jerusalem [03389]. 14 34 10 And they put [05414] it in the hand [03027] of the workmen [06213] [04399] that had the oversight [06485] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and they gave [05414] it to the workmen [06213] [04399] that wrought [06213] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], to repair [0918] and amend [02388] the house [01004]: 14 34 11 Even to the artificers [02796] and builders [01129] gave [05414] they it, to buy [07069] hewn [04274] stone [068], and timber [06086] for couplings [04226], and to floor [07136] the houses [01004] which the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] had destroyed [07843]. 14 34 12 And the men [0582] did [06213] the work [04399] faithfully [0530]: and the overseers [05329] of them were Jahath [03189] and Obadiah [05662], the Levites [03881], of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847]; and Zechariah [02148] and Meshullam [04918], of the sons of the Kohathites [06956], to set it forward [06485]; and other of the Levites [03881], all that could skill [0995] of instruments [03627] of musick [07892]. 14 34 13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens [05449], and were overseers [05329] of all that wrought [06213] the work [04399] in any manner of service [05656]: and of the Levites [03881] there were scribes [05608], and officers [07860], and porters [07778]. 14 34 14 And when they brought out [03318] the money [03701] that was brought into [0935] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548] found [04672] a book [05612] of the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] given by [03027] Moses [04872]. 14 34 15 And Hilkiah [02518] answered [06030] and said [0559] to Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], I have found [04672] the book [05612] of the law [08451] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. And Hilkiah [02518] delivered [05414] the book [05612] to Shaphan [08227]. 14 34 16 And Shaphan [08227] carried [0935] the book [05612] to the king [04428], and brought [07725] the king [04428] word [01697] back [07725] again, saying [0559], All that was committed [05414] to [03027] thy servants [05650], they do [06213] it. 14 34 17 And they have gathered together [05413] the money [03701] that was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and have delivered [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the overseers [06485], and to the hand [03027] of the workmen [06213] [04399]. 14 34 18 Then Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608] told [05046] the king [04428], saying [0559], Hilkiah [02518] the priest [03548] hath given [05414] me a book [05612]. And Shaphan [08227] read [07121] it before [06440] the king [04428]. 14 34 19 And it came to pass, when the king [04428] had heard [08085] the words [01697] of the law [08451], that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899]. 14 34 20 And the king [04428] commanded [06680] Hilkiah [02518], and Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Abdon [05658] the son [01121] of Micah [04318], and Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], and Asaiah [06222] a servant [05650] of the king's [04428], saying [0559], 14 34 21 Go [03212], enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068] for me, and for them that are left [07604] in Israel [03478] and in Judah [03063], concerning the words [01697] of the book [05612] that is found [04672]: for great [01419] is the wrath [02534] of the LORD [03068] that is poured out [05413] upon us, because our fathers [01] have not kept [08104] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] after all that is written [03789] in this book [05612]. 14 34 22 And Hilkiah [02518], and they that the king [04428] had appointed, went [03212] to Huldah [02468] the prophetess [05031], the wife [0802] of Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Tikvath [08616] [08445], the son [01121] of Hasrah [02641], keeper [08104] of the wardrobe [0899]; (now she dwelt [03427] in Jerusalem [03389] in the college [04932]:) and they spake [01696] to her to that effect. 14 34 23 And she answered [0559] them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Tell [0559] ye the man [0376] that sent [07971] you to me, 14 34 24 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon this place [04725], and upon the inhabitants [03427] thereof, even all the curses [0423] that are written [03789] in the book [05612] which they have read [07121] before [06440] the king [04428] of Judah [03063]: 14 34 25 Because they have forsaken [05800] me, and have burned incense [06999] [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], that they might provoke me to anger [03707] with all the works [04639] of their hands [03027]; therefore my wrath [02534] shall be poured out [05413] upon this place [04725], and shall not be quenched [03518]. 14 34 26 And as for [0413] the king [04428] of Judah [03063], who sent [07971] you to enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068], so shall ye say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] concerning the words [01697] which thou hast heard [08085]; 14 34 27 Because thine heart [03824] was tender [07401], and thou didst humble [03665] thyself before [06440] God [0430], when thou heardest [08085] his words [01697] against this place [04725], and against the inhabitants [03427] thereof, and humbledst [03665] thyself before [06440] me, and didst rend [07167] thy clothes [0899], and weep [01058] before [06440] me; I have even heard [08085] thee also, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 14 34 28 Behold, I will gather [0622] thee to thy fathers [01], and thou shalt be gathered [0622] to thy grave [06913] in peace [07965], neither shall thine eyes [05869] see [07200] all the evil [07451] that I will bring [0935] upon this place [04725], and upon the inhabitants [03427] of the same. So they brought [07725] the king [04428] word [01697] again [07725]. 14 34 29 Then the king [04428] sent [07971] and gathered together [0622] all the elders [02205] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 14 34 30 And the king [04428] went up [05927] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and all the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and all the people [05971], great [01419] and small [06996]: and he read [07121] in their ears [0241] all the words [01697] of the book [05612] of the covenant [01285] that was found [04672] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 14 34 31 And the king [04428] stood [05975] in his place [05977], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and his testimonies [05715], and his statutes [02706], with all his heart [03824], and with all his soul [05315], to perform [06213] the words [01697] of the covenant [01285] which are written [03789] in this book [05612]. 14 34 32 And he caused all that were present [04672] in Jerusalem [03389] and Benjamin [01144] to stand [05975] to it. And the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] did [06213] according to the covenant [01285] of God [0430], the God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 34 33 And Josiah [02977] took away [05493] all the abominations [08441] out of all the countries [0776] that pertained to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and made all that were present [04672] in Israel [03478] to serve [05647], even to serve [05647] the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. And all his days [03117] they departed [05493] not from following [0310] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of their fathers [01]. 14 35 1 Moreover Josiah [02977] kept [06213] a passover [06453] unto the LORD [03068] in Jerusalem [03389]: and they killed [07819] the passover [06453] on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320]. 14 35 2 And he set [05975] the priests [03548] in their charges [04931], and encouraged [02388] them to the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], 14 35 3 And said [0559] unto the Levites [03881] that taught [0995] [04000] all Israel [03478], which were holy [06918] unto the LORD [03068], Put [05414] the holy [06944] ark [0727] in the house [01004] which Solomon [08010] the son [01121] of David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478] did build [01129]; it shall not be a burden [04853] upon your shoulders [03802]: serve [05647] now the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and his people [05971] Israel [03478], 14 35 4 And prepare [03559] [03559] yourselves by the houses [01004] of your fathers [01], after your courses [04256], according to the writing [03791] of David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478], and according to the writing [04385] of Solomon [08010] his son [01121]. 14 35 5 And stand in [05975] the holy [06944] place according to the divisions [06391] of the families [01004] of the fathers [01] of your brethren [0251] the people [01121] [05971], and after the division [02515] of the families [01] [01004] of the Levites [03881]. 14 35 6 So kill [07819] the passover [06453], and sanctify [06942] yourselves, and prepare [03559] your brethren [0251], that they may do [06213] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872]. 14 35 7 And Josiah [02977] gave [07311] to the people [01121] [05971], of the flock [06629], lambs [03532] and kids [01121] [05795], all for the passover offerings [06453], for all that were present [04672], to the number [04557] of thirty [07970] thousand [0505], and three [07969] thousand [0505] bullocks [01241]: these were of the king's [04428] substance [07399]. 14 35 8 And his princes [08269] gave [07311] willingly [05071] unto the people [05971], to the priests [03548], and to the Levites [03881]: Hilkiah [02518] and Zechariah [02148] and Jehiel [03171], rulers [05057] of the house [01004] of God [0430], gave [05414] unto the priests [03548] for the passover offerings [06453] two thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967] small cattle, and three [07969] hundred [03967] oxen [01241]. 14 35 9 Conaniah [03562] also, and Shemaiah [08098] and Nethaneel [05417], his brethren [0251], and Hashabiah [02811] and Jeiel [03273] and Jozabad [03107], chief [08269] of the Levites [03881], gave [07311] unto the Levites [03881] for passover offerings [06453] five [02568] thousand [0505] small cattle, and five [02568] hundred [03967] oxen [01241]. 14 35 10 So the service [05656] was prepared [03559], and the priests [03548] stood [05975] in their place [05977], and the Levites [03881] in their courses [04256], according to the king's [04428] commandment [04687]. 14 35 11 And they killed [07819] the passover [06453], and the priests [03548] sprinkled [02236] the blood from their hands [03027], and the Levites [03881] flayed [06584] them. 14 35 12 And they removed [05493] the burnt offerings [05930], that they might give [05414] according to the divisions [04653] of the families [01] [01004] of the people [01121] [05971], to offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068], as it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of Moses [04872]. And so did they with the oxen [01241]. 14 35 13 And they roasted [01310] the passover [06453] with fire [0784] according to the ordinance [04941]: but the other holy [06944] offerings sod [01310] they in pots [05518], and in caldrons [01731], and in pans [06745], and divided them speedily [07323] among all the people [01121] [05971]. 14 35 14 And afterward [0310] they made ready [03559] for themselves, and for the priests [03548]: because the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] were busied in offering [05927] of burnt offerings [05930] and the fat [02459] until night [03915]; therefore the Levites [03881] prepared [03559] for themselves, and for the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175]. 14 35 15 And the singers [07891] the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623] were in their place [04612], according to the commandment [04687] of David [01732], and Asaph [0623], and Heman [01968], and Jeduthun [03038] the king's [04428] seer [02374]; and the porters [07778] waited at every gate [08179]; they might not depart [05493] from their service [05656]; for their brethren [0251] the Levites [03881] prepared [03559] for them. 14 35 16 So all the service [05656] of the LORD [03068] was prepared [03559] the same day [03117], to keep [06213] the passover [06453], and to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] upon the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068], according to the commandment [04687] of king [04428] Josiah [02977]. 14 35 17 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] that were present [04672] kept [06213] the passover [06453] at that time [06256], and the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] seven [07651] days [03117]. 14 35 18 And there was no passover [06453] like [03644] to that kept [06213] in Israel [03478] from the days [03117] of Samuel [08050] the prophet [05030]; neither did [06213] all the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] keep [06213] such a passover [06453] as Josiah [02977] kept [06213], and the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and all Judah [03063] and Israel [03478] that were present [04672], and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]. 14 35 19 In the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Josiah [02977] was this passover [06453] kept [06213]. 14 35 20 After [0310] all this, when Josiah [02977] had prepared [03559] the temple [01004], Necho [05224] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came up [05927] to fight [03898] against Carchemish [03751] by Euphrates [06578]: and Josiah [02977] went out [03318] against [07125] him. 14 35 21 But he sent [07971] ambassadors [04397] to him, saying [0559], What have I to do with thee, thou king [04428] of Judah [03063]? I come not against thee this day [03117], but against the house [01004] wherewith I have war [04421]: for God [0430] commanded [0559] me to make haste [0926]: forbear [02308] thee from meddling with God [0430], who is with me, that he destroy [07843] thee not. 14 35 22 Nevertheless Josiah [02977] would not turn [05437] his face [06440] from him, but disguised [02664] himself, that he might fight [03898] with him, and hearkened [08085] not unto the words [01697] of Necho [05224] from the mouth [06310] of God [0430], and came [0935] to fight [03898] in the valley [01237] of Megiddo [04023]. 14 35 23 And the archers [03384] shot [03384] at king [04428] Josiah [02977]; and the king [04428] said [0559] to his servants [05650], Have me away [05674]; for I am sore [03966] wounded [02470]. 14 35 24 His servants [05650] therefore took [05674] him out of that chariot [04818], and put [07392] him in the second [04932] chariot [07393] that he had; and they brought [03212] him to Jerusalem [03389], and he died [04191], and was buried [06912] in one of the sepulchres [06913] of his fathers [01]. And all Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] mourned [056] for Josiah [02977]. 14 35 25 And Jeremiah [03414] lamented [06969] for Josiah [02977]: and all the singing men [07891] and the singing women [07891] spake [0559] of Josiah [02977] in their lamentations [07015] to this day [03117], and made [05414] them an ordinance [02706] in Israel [03478]: and, behold, they are written [03789] in the lamentations [07015]. 14 35 26 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Josiah [02977], and his goodness [02617], according to that which was written [03789] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068], 14 35 27 And his deeds [01697], first [07223] and last [0314], behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]. 14 36 1 Then the people [05971] of the land [0776] took [03947] Jehoahaz [03059] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977], and made him king [04427] in his father's [01] stead in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 36 2 Jehoahaz [03099] was twenty [06242] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] three [07969] months [02320] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 36 3 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] put him down [05493] at Jerusalem [03389], and condemned [06064] the land [0776] in an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701] and a talent [03603] of gold [02091]. 14 36 4 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] made Eliakim [0471] his brother [0251] king [04427] over Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and turned [05437] his name [08034] to Jehoiakim [03079]. And Necho [05224] took [03947] Jehoahaz [03099] his brother [0251], and carried [0935] him to Egypt [04714]. 14 36 5 Jehoiakim [03079] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]: and he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430]. 14 36 6 Against him came up [05927] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and bound [0631] him in fetters [05178], to carry [03212] him to Babylon [0894]. 14 36 7 Nebuchadnezzar [05019] also carried [0935] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] to Babylon [0894], and put [05414] them in his temple [01964] at Babylon [0894]. 14 36 8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 14 36 9 Jehoiachin [03078] was eight [08083] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] three [07969] months [02320] and ten [06235] days [03117] in Jerusalem [03389]: and he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]. 14 36 10 And when the year [08141] was expired [08666], king [04428] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] sent [07971], and brought [0935] him to Babylon [0894], with the goodly [02532] vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and made Zedekiah [06667] his brother [0251] king [04427] over Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 14 36 11 Zedekiah [06667] was one [0259] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 36 12 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430], and humbled [03665] not himself before [06440] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] speaking from the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 14 36 13 And he also rebelled [04775] against king [04428] Nebuchadnezzar [05019], who had made him swear [07650] by God [0430]: but he stiffened [07185] his neck [06203], and hardened [0553] his heart [03824] from turning [07725] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 14 36 14 Moreover all the chief [08269] of the priests [03548], and the people [05971], transgressed [04603] very [04604] much [07235] after all the abominations [08441] of the heathen [01471]; and polluted [02930] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] which he had hallowed [06942] in Jerusalem [03389]. 14 36 15 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] of their fathers [01] sent [07971] to them by [03027] his messengers [04397], rising up betimes [07925], and sending [07971]; because he had compassion [02550] on his people [05971], and on his dwelling place [04583]: 14 36 16 But they mocked [03931] the messengers [04397] of God [0430], and despised [0959] his words [01697], and misused [08591] his prophets [05030], until the wrath [02534] of the LORD [03068] arose [05927] against his people [05971], till there was no remedy [04832]. 14 36 17 Therefore he brought [05927] upon them the king [04428] of the Chaldees [03778], who slew [02026] their young men [0970] with the sword [02719] in the house [01004] of their sanctuary [04720], and had no compassion [02550] upon young man [0970] or maiden [01330], old man [02205], or him that stooped for age [03486]: he gave [05414] them all into his hand [03027]. 14 36 18 And all the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], great [01419] and small [06996], and the treasures [0214] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the treasures [0214] of the king [04428], and of his princes [08269]; all these he brought [0935] to Babylon [0894]. 14 36 19 And they burnt [08313] the house [01004] of God [0430], and brake down [05422] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], and burnt [08313] all the palaces [0759] thereof with fire [0784], and destroyed [07843] all the goodly [04261] vessels [03627] thereof. 14 36 20 And them that had escaped [07611] from the sword [02719] carried he away [01540] to Babylon [0894]; where they were servants [05650] to him and his sons [01121] until the reign [04427] of the kingdom [04438] of Persia [06539]: 14 36 21 To fulfil [04390] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], until the land [0776] had enjoyed [07521] her sabbaths [07676]: for as long as [03117] she lay desolate [08074] she kept sabbath [07673], to fulfil [04390] threescore and ten [07657] years [08141]. 14 36 22 Now in the first [0259] year [08141] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] spoken by the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] might be accomplished [03615], the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] the spirit [07307] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], that he made a proclamation [05674] [06963] throughout all his kingdom [04438], and put it also in writing [04385], saying [0559], 14 36 23 Thus saith [0559] Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], All the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] hath the LORD [03068] God [0430] of heaven [08064] given [05414] me; and he hath charged [06485] me to build [01129] him an house [01004] in Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063]. Who is there among you of all his people [05971]? The LORD [03068] his God [0430] be with him, and let him go up [05927]. 15 1 1 Now in the first [0259] year [08141] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] might be fulfilled [03615], the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] the spirit [07307] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], that he made a proclamation [05674] [06963] throughout all his kingdom [04438], and put it also in writing [04385], saying [0559], 15 1 2 Thus saith [0559] Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of heaven [08064] hath given [05414] me all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]; and he hath charged [06485] me to build [01129] him an house [01004] at Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063]. 15 1 3 Who is there among you of all his people [05971]? his God [0430] be with him, and let him go up [05927] to Jerusalem [03389], which is in Judah [03063], and build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], (he is the God [0430],) which is in Jerusalem [03389]. 15 1 4 And whosoever remaineth [07604] in any place [04725] where he sojourneth [01481], let the men [0582] of his place [04725] help [05375] him with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with goods [07399], and with beasts [0929], beside the freewill offering [05071] for the house [01004] of God [0430] that is in Jerusalem [03389]. 15 1 5 Then rose up [06965] the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144], and the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], with all them whose spirit [07307] God [0430] had raised [05782], to go up [05927] to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] which is in Jerusalem [03389]. 15 1 6 And all they that were about [05439] them strengthened [02388] their hands [03027] with vessels [03627] of silver [03701], with gold [02091], with goods [07399], and with beasts [0929], and with precious things [04030], beside all that was willingly offered [05068]. 15 1 7 Also Cyrus [03566] the king [04428] brought forth [03318] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], which Nebuchadnezzar [05019] had brought forth [03318] out of Jerusalem [03389], and had put [05414] them in the house [01004] of his gods [0430]; 15 1 8 Even those did Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539] bring forth [03318] by the hand [03027] of Mithredath [04990] the treasurer [01489], and numbered [05608] them unto Sheshbazzar [08339], the prince [05387] of Judah [03063]. 15 1 9 And this is the number [04557] of them: thirty [07970] chargers [0105] of gold [02091], a thousand [0505] chargers [0105] of silver [03701], nine [08672] and twenty [06242] knives [04252], 15 1 10 Thirty [07970] basons [03713] of gold [02091], silver [03701] basons [03713] of a second [04932] sort four [0702] hundred [03967] and ten [06235], and other [0312] vessels [03627] a thousand [0505]. 15 1 11 All the vessels [03627] of gold [02091] and of silver [03701] were five [02568] thousand [0505] and four [0702] hundred [03967]. All these did Sheshbazzar [08339] bring up [05927] with them of the captivity [01473] that were brought up [05927] from Babylon [0894] unto Jerusalem [03389]. 15 2 1 Now these are the children [01121] of the province [04082] that went up [05927] out of the captivity [07628], of those which had been carried away [01473], whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had carried away [01540] unto Babylon [0894], and came again [07725] unto Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], every one [0376] unto his city [05892]; 15 2 2 Which came [0935] with Zerubbabel [02216]: Jeshua [03442], Nehemiah [05166], Seraiah [08304], Reelaiah [07480], Mordecai [04782], Bilshan [01114], Mispar [04558], Bigvai [0902], Rehum [07348], Baanah [01196].

[0564]: but they could [03201] not shew [05046] their father's [01] house [01004], and their seed [02233], whether they were of Israel [03478]: 15 2 60 The children [01121] of Delaiah [01806], the children [01121] of Tobiah [02900], the children [01121] of Nekoda [05353], six [08337] hundred [03967] fifty [02572] and two [08147]. 15 2 61 And of the children [01121] of the priests [03548]: the children [01121] of Habaiah [02252], the children [01121] of Koz [06976], the children [01121] of Barzillai [01271]; which took [03947] a wife [0802] of the daughters [01323] of Barzillai [01271] the Gileadite [01569], and was called [07121] after their name [08034]: 15 2 62 These sought [01245] their register [03791] among those that were reckoned by genealogy [03187], but they were not found [04672]: therefore were they, as polluted [01351], put from the priesthood [03550]. 15 2 63 And the Tirshatha [08660] said [0559] unto them, that they should not eat [0398] of the most [06944] holy things [06944], till there stood up [05975] a priest [03548] with Urim [0224] and with Thummim [08550]. 15 2 64 The whole congregation [06951] together [0259] was forty [0702] [07239] and two thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and threescore [08346], 15 2 65 Beside their servants [05650] and their maids [0519], of whom there were seven [07651] thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and seven [07651]: and there were [0428] among them two hundred [03967] singing men [07891] and singing women [07891]. 15 2 66 Their horses [05483] were seven [07651] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and six [08337]; their mules [06505], two hundred [03967] forty [0705] and five [02568]; 15 2 67 Their camels [01581], four [0702] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and five [02568]; their asses [02543], six [08337] thousand [0505] seven [07651] hundred [03967] and twenty [06242]. 15 2 68 And some of the chief [07218] of the fathers [01], when they came [0935] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] which is at Jerusalem [03389], offered freely [05068] for the house [01004] of God [0430] to set it up [05975] in his place [04349]: 15 2 69 They gave [05414] after their ability [03581] unto the treasure [0214] of the work [04399] threescore [08337] [07239] and one thousand [0505] drams [01871] of gold [02091], and five [02568] thousand [0505] pound [04488] of silver [03701], and one hundred [03967] priests [03548]' garments [03801]. 15 2 70 So the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and some of the people [05971], and the singers [07891], and the porters [07778], and the Nethinims [05411], dwelt [03427] in their cities [05892], and all Israel [03478] in their cities [05892]. 15 3 1 And when the seventh [07637] month [02320] was come [05060], and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were in the cities [05892], the people [05971] gathered themselves together [0622] as one [0259] man [0376] to Jerusalem [03389]. 15 3 2 Then stood up [06965] Jeshua [03442] the son [01121] of Jozadak [03136], and his brethren [0251] the priests [03548], and Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], and his brethren [0251], and builded [01129] the altar [04196] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon, as it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430]. 15 3 3 And they set [03559] the altar [04196] upon his bases [04350]; for fear [0367] was upon them because of the people [05971] of those countries [0776]: and they offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon unto the LORD [03068], even burnt offerings [05930] morning [01242] and evening [06153]. 15 3 4 They kept [06213] also the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521], as it is written [03789], and offered the daily [03117] [03117] burnt offerings [05930] by number [04557], according to the custom [04941], as the duty [01697] of every day [03117] required [03117]; 15 3 5 And afterward [0310] offered the continual [08548] burnt offering [05930], both of the new moons [02320], and of all the set feasts [04150] of the LORD [03068] that were consecrated [06942], and of every one that willingly offered [05068] a freewill offering [05071] unto the LORD [03068]. 15 3 6 From the first [0259] day [03117] of the seventh [07637] month [02320] began [02490] they to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068]. But the foundation [03245] of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068] was not yet laid [03245]. 15 3 7 They gave [05414] money [03701] also unto the masons [02672], and to the carpenters [02796]; and meat [03978], and drink [04960], and oil [08081], unto them of Zidon [06722], and to them of Tyre [06876], to bring [0935] cedar [0730] trees [06086] from Lebanon [03844] to the sea [03220] of Joppa [03305], according to the grant [07558] that they had of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539]. 15 3 8 Now in the second [08145] year [08141] of their coming [0935] unto the house [01004] of God [0430] at Jerusalem [03389], in the second [08145] month [02320], began [02490] Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], and Jeshua [03442] the son [01121] of Jozadak [03136], and the remnant [07605] of their brethren [0251] the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and all they that were come out [0935] of the captivity [07628] unto Jerusalem [03389]; and appointed [05975] the Levites [03881], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], to set forward [05329] the work [04399] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 15 3 9 Then stood [05975] Jeshua [03442] with his sons [01121] and his brethren [0251], Kadmiel [06934] and his sons [01121], the sons [01121] of Judah [03063], together [0259], to set forward [05329] the workmen [06213] [04399] in the house [01004] of God [0430]: the sons [01121] of Henadad [02582], with their sons [01121] and their brethren [0251] the Levites [03881]. 15 3 10 And when the builders [01129] laid the foundation [03245] of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], they set [05975] the priests [03548] in their apparel [03847] with trumpets [02689], and the Levites [03881] the sons [01121] of Asaph [0623] with cymbals [04700], to praise [01984] the LORD [03068], after the ordinance [03027] of David [01732] king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 15 3 11 And they sang together by course [06030] in praising [01984] and giving thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; because he is good [02896], for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769] toward Israel [03478]. And all the people [05971] shouted [07321] with a great [01419] shout [08643], when they praised [01984] the LORD [03068], because the foundation [03245] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] was laid [03245]. 15 3 12 But many [07227] of the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] and chief [07218] of the fathers [01], who were ancient men [02205], that had seen [07200] the first [07223] house [01004], when the foundation [03245] of this house [01004] was laid [03245] before their eyes [05869], wept [01058] with a loud [01419] voice [06963]; and many [07227] shouted [08643] aloud [07311] for joy [08057]: 15 3 13 So that the people [05971] could not discern [05234] the noise [06963] of the shout [08643] of joy [08057] from the noise [06963] of the weeping [01065] of the people [05971]: for the people [05971] shouted [07321] with a loud [01419] shout [08643], and the noise [06963] was heard [08085] afar off [07350]. 15 4 1 Now when the adversaries [06862] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144] heard [08085] that the children [01121] of the captivity [01473] builded [01129] the temple [01964] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]; 15 4 2 Then they came [05066] to Zerubbabel [02216], and to the chief [07218] of the fathers [01], and said [0559] unto them, Let us build [01129] with you: for we seek [01875] your God [0430], as ye do; and we do sacrifice [02076] unto him since the days [03117] of Esarhaddon [0634] king [04428] of Assur [0804], which brought us up hither [05927]. 15 4 3 But Zerubbabel [02216], and Jeshua [03442], and the rest [07605] of the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of Israel [03478], said [0559] unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build [01129] an house [01004] unto our God [0430]; but we ourselves together [03162] will build [01129] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], as king [04428] Cyrus [03566] the king [04428] of Persia [06539] hath commanded [06680] us. 15 4 4 Then the people [05971] of the land [0776] weakened [07503] the hands [03027] of the people [05971] of Judah [03063], and troubled [0926] [01089] them in building [01129], 15 4 5 And hired [07936] counsellors [03289] against them, to frustrate [06565] their purpose [06098], all the days [03117] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539], even until the reign [04438] of Darius [01867] king [04428] of Persia [06539]. 15 4 6 And in the reign [04438] of Ahasuerus [0325], in the beginning [08462] of his reign [04438], wrote [03789] they unto him an accusation [07855] against the inhabitants [03427] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 15 4 7 And in the days [03117] of Artaxerxes [0783] wrote [03789] Bishlam [01312], Mithredath [04990], Tabeel [02870], and the rest [07605] of their companions [03674], unto Artaxerxes [0783] king [04428] of Persia [06539]; and the writing [03791] of the letter [05406] was written [03789] in the Syrian tongue [0762], and interpreted [08638] in the Syrian tongue [0762]. 15 4 8 Rehum [07348] the chancellor [01169] [02942] and Shimshai [08124] the scribe [05613] wrote [03790] a [02298] letter [0104] against [05922] Jerusalem [03390] to Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04430] in this sort [03660]: 15 4 9 Then [0116] wrote Rehum [07348] the chancellor [01169] [02942], and Shimshai [08124] the scribe [05613], and the rest [07606] of their companions [03675]; the Dinaites [01784], the Apharsathchites [0671], the Tarpelites [02967], the Apharsites [0670], the Archevites [0756], the Babylonians [0896], the Susanchites [07801], the Dehavites [01723], and the Elamites [05962], 15 4 10 And the rest [07606] of the nations [0524] whom [01768] the great [07229] and noble [03358] Asnappar [0620] brought over [01541], and set [03488] [01994] in the cities [07149] of Samaria [08115], and the rest [07606] that are on this side [05675] the river [05103], and at such a time [03706]. 15 4 11 This [01836] is the copy [06573] of the letter [0104] that [01768] they sent [07972] unto him [05922], even unto Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04430]; Thy servants [05649] the men [0606] on this side [05675] the river [05103], and at such a time [03706]. 15 4 12 Be it [01934] known [03046] unto the king [04430], that the Jews [03062] which [01768] came up [05559] from [04481] thee [03890] to us [05922] are come [0858] unto Jerusalem [03390], building [01124] the rebellious [04779] and the bad [0873] city [07149], and have set up [03635] [03635] the walls [07792] thereof, and joined [02338] the foundations [0787]. 15 4 13 Be it known [03046] [01934] now [03705] unto the king [04430], that, if [02006] this [01791] city [07149] be builded [01124], and the walls [07792] set up [03635] again, then will they not [03809] pay [05415] toll [04061], tribute [01093], and custom [01983], and so thou shalt endamage [05142] the revenue [0674] of the kings [04430]. 15 4 14 Now [03705] because [06903] [03606] we have [01768] maintenance [04415] [04416] from the king's palace [01965], and it was not [03809] meet [0749] for us to see [02370] the king's [04430] dishonour [06173], therefore [05922] [01836] have we sent [07972] and certified [03046] the king [04430]; 15 4 15 That search [01240] may be made in the book [05609] of the records [01799] of thy fathers [02]: so shalt thou find [07912] in the book [05609] of the records [01799], and know [03046] that this [01791] city [07149] is a rebellious [04779] city [07149], and hurtful [05142] unto kings [04430] and provinces [04083], and that they have moved [05648] sedition [0849] within the same [01459] of [04481] old [05957] time [03118]: for [05922] which [01836] cause was this [01791] city [07149] destroyed [02718]. 15 4 16 We [0586] certify [03046] the king [04430] that, if [02006] this [01791] city [07149] be builded [01124] again, and the walls [07792] thereof set up [03635], by this [01836] means [06903] thou shalt have [0383] no [03809] portion [02508] on this side [05675] the river [05103]. 15 4 17 Then sent [07972] the king [04430] an answer [06600] unto [05922] Rehum [07348] the chancellor [01169] [02942], and to Shimshai [08124] the scribe [05613], and to the rest [07606] of their companions [03675] that dwell [03488] in Samaria [08115], and unto the rest [07606] beyond [05675] the river [05103], Peace [08001], and at such a time [03706]. 15 4 18 The letter [05407] which ye sent [07972] unto us [05922] hath been plainly [06568] read [07123] before [06925] me. 15 4 19 And I [04481] commanded [07761] [02942], and search [01240] hath been made, and it is found [07912] that this [01791] city [07149] of [04481] old [05957] time [03118] hath made insurrection [05376] against [05922] kings [04430], and that rebellion [04776] and sedition [0849] have been made [05648] therein. 15 4 20 There have been [01934] mighty [08624] kings [04430] also over [05922] Jerusalem [03390], which have ruled [07990] over all [03606] countries beyond [05675] the river [05103]; and toll [04061], tribute [01093], and custom [01983], was paid [03052] unto them. 15 4 21 Give [07761] ye now [03705] commandment [02942] to cause [0989] these [0479] men [01400] to cease [0989], and that this [01791] city [07149] be not [03809] builded [01124], until [05705] another commandment [02941] shall be given [07761] from me [04481]. 15 4 22 Take heed [01934] [02095] now that ye fail [07960] not to do [05922] [05648] this [01836]: why [04101] should damage [02257] grow [07680] to the hurt [05142] of the kings [04430]? 15 4 23 Now [0116] when [04481] [01768] the copy [06573] of king [04430] Artaxerxes [0783]' letter [05407] was read [07123] before [06925] Rehum [07348], and Shimshai [08124] the scribe [05613], and their companions [03675], they went up [0236] in haste [0924] to Jerusalem [03390] unto [05922] the Jews [03062], and made them [01994] to cease [0989] by force [0153] and power [02429]. 15 4 24 Then [0116] ceased [0989] the work [05673] of the house [01005] of God [0426] which is at Jerusalem [03390]. So it ceased [01934] [0989] unto [05705] the second [08648] year [08140] of the reign [04437] of Darius [01868] king [04430] of Persia [06540]. 15 5 1 Then the prophets [05029], Haggai [02292] the prophet [05029], and Zechariah [02148] the son [01247] of Iddo [05714], prophesied [05013] unto [05922] the Jews [03062] that were in Judah [03061] and Jerusalem [03390] in the name [08036] of the God [0426] of Israel [03479], even unto [05922] them. 15 5 2 Then [0116] rose up [06966] Zerubbabel [02217] the son [01247] of Shealtiel [07598], and Jeshua [03443] the son [01247] of Jozadak [03136], and began [08271] to build [01124] the house [01005] of God [0426] which is at Jerusalem [03390]: and with them [05974] were the prophets [05029] of God [0426] helping [05583] them. 15 5 3 At the same time [02166] came [0858] to them Tatnai, governor [06347] on this side [05675] the river [05103], and Shetharboznai [08370], and their companions [03675], and said [0560] thus [03652] unto them [05922], Who [04479] hath commanded [07761] [02942] you to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005], and to make up [03635] this [01836] wall [0846]? 15 5 4 Then [0116] said [0560] we unto them after this manner [03660], What [04479] are [0581] the names [08036] of the men [01400] that make [01124] this [01836] building [01147]? 15 5 5 But the eye [05870] of their God [0426] was [01934] upon [05922] the elders [07868] of the Jews [03062], that they could not [03809] cause [0989] them [01994] to cease [0989], till [05705] the matter [02941] came [01946] to Darius [01868]: and then [0116] they returned answer [08421] by letter [05407] concerning [05922] this [01836] matter. 15 5 6 The copy [06573] of the letter [0104] that Tatnai, governor [06347] on this side [05675] the river [05103], and Shetharboznai [08370], and his companions [03675] the Apharsachites [0671], which were on this side [05675] the river [05103], sent [07972] unto [05922] Darius [01868] the king [04430]: 15 5 7 They sent [07972] a letter [06600] unto [05922] him, wherein [01459] was written [03790] thus [01836]; Unto Darius [01868] the king [04430], all [03606] peace [08001]. 15 5 8 Be it known [01934] [03046] unto the king [04430], that we went [0236] into the province [04083] of Judea [03061], to the house [01005] of the great [07229] God [0426], which is builded [01124] with great [01560] stones [069], and timber [0636] is laid [07761] in the walls [03797], and this [01791] work [05673] goeth [05648] fast [0629] on, and prospereth [06744] in their hands [03028]. 15 5 9 Then [0116] asked [07593] we those [0479] elders [07868], and said [0560] unto them thus [03660], Who [04479] commanded [07761] [02942] you to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005], and to make up [03635] these [01836] walls [0846]? 15 5 10 We asked [07593] their names [08036] also [0638], to certify [03046] thee, that we might write [03790] the names [08036] of the men [01400] that were the chief [07217] of them. 15 5 11 And thus [03660] they returned [08421] us answer [06600], saying [0560], We [0586] are [01994] the servants [05649] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065] and earth [0772], and build [01124] the house [01005] that was [01934] builded [01124] these [01836] many [07690] years [08140] ago [06928], which a great [07229] king [04430] of Israel [03479] builded [01124] and set up [03635]. 15 5 12 But [03861] after [04481] that our fathers [02] had provoked [07265] the God [0426] of heaven [08065] unto wrath [07265], he gave [03052] them [01994] into the hand [03028] of Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] of Babylon [0895], the Chaldean [03679], who destroyed [05642] this [01836] house [01005], and carried [01541] the people [05972] away [01541] into Babylon [0895]. 15 5 13 But [01297] in the first [02298] year [08140] of Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] of Babylon [0895] the same king [04430] Cyrus [03567] made [07761] a decree [02942] to build [01124] this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426]. 15 5 14 And the vessels [03984] also [0638] of [01768] gold [01722] and silver [03702] of the house [01005] of God [0426], which Nebuchadnezzar [05020] took [05312] out of [04481] the temple [01965] that was in Jerusalem [03390], and brought [02987] them into the temple [01965] of Babylon [0895], those [01994] did Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] take [05312] out of [04481] the temple [01965] of Babylon [0895], and they were delivered [03052] unto one, whose name [08036] was Sheshbazzar [08340], whom he had made [07761] governor [06347]; 15 5 15 And said [0560] unto him, Take [05376] these [0412] vessels [03984], go [0236], carry [05182] them [01994] into the temple [01965] that is in Jerusalem [03390], and let the house [01005] of God [0426] be builded [01124] in [05922] his place [0870]. 15 5 16 Then [0116] came [0858] the same [01791] Sheshbazzar [08340], and laid [03052] the foundation [0787] of the house [01005] of God [0426] which is in Jerusalem [03390]: and since [04481] that time [0116] even until [05705] now [03705] hath it been in building [01124], and yet it is not [03809] finished [08000]. 15 5 17 Now [03705] therefore, if [02006] it seem good [02869] to [05922] the king [04430], let there be search [01240] made in the king's [04430] treasure [01596] house [01005], which is there [08536] at Babylon [0895], whether [02006] it be [0383] so, that a decree [02942] was made [07761] of [04481] Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] to build [01124] this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426] at Jerusalem [03390], and let the king [04430] send [07972] his pleasure [07470] to us concerning [05922] this matter [01836]. 15 6 1 Then [0116] Darius [01868] the king [04430] made [07761] a decree [02942], and search [01240] was made in the house [01005] of the rolls [05609], where [08536] the treasures [01596] were laid up [05182] in Babylon [0895]. 15 6 2 And there was found [07912] at Achmetha [0307], in the palace [01001] that is in the province [04083] of the Medes [04076], a [02298] roll [04040], and therein [01459] was a record [01799] thus [03652] written [03790]: 15 6 3 In the first [02298] year [08140] of Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] the same Cyrus [03567] the king [04430] made [07761] a decree [02942] concerning the house [01005] of God [0426] at Jerusalem [03390], Let the house [01005] be builded [01124], the place [0870] where they offered [01684] sacrifices [01685], and let the foundations [0787] thereof be strongly laid [05446]; the height [07314] thereof threescore [08361] cubits [0521], and the breadth [06613] thereof threescore [08361] cubits [0521]; 15 6 4 With three [08532] rows [05073] of great [01560] stones [069], and a row [05073] of new [02323] timber [0636]: and let the expenses [05313] be given [03052] out of [04481] the king's [04430] house [01005]: 15 6 5 And also [0638] let the golden [01722] and silver [03702] vessels [03984] of the house [01005] of God [0426], which Nebuchadnezzar [05020] took forth [05312] out of [04481] the temple [01965] which is at Jerusalem [03390], and brought [02987] unto Babylon [0895], be restored [08421], and brought again [01946] unto the temple [01965] which is at Jerusalem [03390], every one to his place [0870], and place [05182] them in the house [01005] of God [0426]. 15 6 6 Now [03705] therefore, Tatnai, governor [06347] beyond [05675] the river [05103], Shetharboznai [08370], and your companions [03675] the Apharsachites [0671], which are beyond [05675] the river [05103], be ye [01934] far [07352] from [04481] thence [08536]: 15 6 7 Let the work [05673] of this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426] alone [07662]; let the governor [06347] of the Jews [03062] and the elders [07868] of the Jews [03062] build [01124] this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426] in [05922] his place [0870]. 15 6 8 Moreover I [04481] make [07761] a decree [02942] what [03964] ye shall do [05648] to [05974] the elders [07868] of these [0479] Jews [03062] for the building [01124] of this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426]: that of the king's [04430] goods [05232], even of [01768] the tribute [04061] beyond [05675] the river [05103], forthwith [0629] expenses [05313] be [01934] given [03052] unto these [0479] men [01400], that they be not [03809] hindered [0989]. 15 6 9 And that which [04101] they have need of [02818], both young [01123] bullocks [08450], and rams [01798], and lambs [0563], for the burnt offerings [05928] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065], wheat [02591], salt [04416], wine [02562], and oil [04887], according to the appointment [03983] of the priests [03549] which are at Jerusalem [03390], let it be [01934] given [03052] them day [03118] by day [03118] without [03809] fail [07960]: 15 6 10 That they may offer [01934] [07127] sacrifices of sweet savours [05208] unto the God [0426] of heaven [08065], and pray [06739] for the life [02417] of the king [04430], and of his sons [01123]. 15 6 11 Also [04481] I have made [07761] a decree [02942], that whosoever [03606] [0606] shall alter [08133] this [01836] word [06600], let timber [0636] be pulled down [05256] from [04481] his house [01005], and being set up [02211], let him be hanged [04223] thereon [05922]; and let his house [01005] be made [05648] a dunghill [05122] for [05922] this [01836]. 15 6 12 And the God [0426] that hath caused his name [08036] to dwell [07932] there [08536] destroy [04049] all [03606] kings [04430] and people [05972], that shall put [07972] to their hand [03028] to alter [08133] and to destroy [02255] this [01791] house [01005] of God [0426] which is at Jerusalem [03390]. I [0576] Darius [01868] have made [07761] a decree [02942]; let it be done [05648] with speed [0629]. 15 6 13 Then [0116] Tatnai, governor [06347] on this side [05675] the river [05103], Shetharboznai [08370], and their companions [03675], according [06903] to that which Darius [01868] the king [04430] had sent [07972], so [03660] they did [05648] speedily [0629]. 15 6 14 And the elders [07868] of the Jews [03062] builded [01124], and they prospered [06744] through the prophesying [05017] of Haggai [02292] the prophet [05029] and Zechariah [02148] the son [01247] of Iddo [05714]. And they builded [01124], and finished [03635] it, according [04481] to the commandment [02941] of the God [0426] of Israel [03479], and according to the commandment [02942] of Cyrus [03567], and Darius [01868], and Artaxerxes [0783] king [04430] of Persia [06540]. 15 6 15 And this [01836] house [01005] was finished [03319] on [05705] the third [08532] day [03118] of the month [03393] Adar [0144], which was [01932] in the sixth [08353] year [08140] of the reign [04437] of Darius [01868] the king [04430]. 15 6 16 And the children [01123] of Israel [03479], the priests [03549], and the Levites [03879], and the rest [07606] of the children [01123] of the captivity [01547], kept [05648] the dedication [02597] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426] with joy [02305], 15 6 17 And offered [07127] at the dedication [02597] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426] an hundred [03969] bullocks [08450], two hundred [03969] rams [01798], four [0703] hundred [03969] lambs [0563]; and for a sin offering [02402] [02409] for [05922] all [03606] Israel [03479], twelve [08648] [06236] he [06841] goats [05796], according to the number [04510] of the tribes [07625] of Israel [03479]. 15 6 18 And they set [06966] the priests [03549] in their divisions [06392], and the Levites [03879] in their courses [04255], for [05922] the service [05673] of God [0426], which is at Jerusalem [03390]; as it is written [03792] in the book [05609] of Moses [04873]. 15 6 19 And the children [01121] of the captivity [01473] kept [06213] the passover [06453] upon the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320]. 15 6 20 For the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] were purified [02891] together [0259], all of them were pure [02889], and killed [07819] the passover [06453] for all the children [01121] of the captivity [01473], and for their brethren [0251] the priests [03548], and for themselves. 15 6 21 And the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which were come again [07725] out of captivity [01473], and all such as had separated [0914] themselves unto them from the filthiness [02932] of the heathen [01471] of the land [0776], to seek [01875] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], did eat [0398], 15 6 22 And kept [06213] the feast [02282] of unleavened bread [04682] seven [07651] days [03117] with joy [08057]: for the LORD [03068] had made them joyful [08055], and turned [05437] the heart [03820] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] unto them, to strengthen [02388] their hands [03027] in the work [04399] of the house [01004] of God [0430], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 15 7 1 Now after [0310] these things [01697], in the reign [04438] of Artaxerxes [0783] king [04428] of Persia [06539], Ezra [05830] the son [01121] of Seraiah [08304], the son [01121] of Azariah [05838], the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], 15 7 2 The son [01121] of Shallum [07967], the son [01121] of Zadok [06659], the son [01121] of Ahitub [0285], 15 7 3 The son [01121] of Amariah [0568], the son [01121] of Azariah [05838], the son [01121] of Meraioth [04812], 15 7 4 The son [01121] of Zerahiah [02228], the son [01121] of Uzzi [05813], the son [01121] of Bukki [01231], 15 7 5 The son [01121] of Abishua [050], the son [01121] of Phinehas [06372], the son [01121] of Eleazar [0499], the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the chief [07218] priest [03548]: 15 7 6 This Ezra [05830] went up [05927] from Babylon [0894]; and he was a ready [04106] scribe [05608] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] had given [05414]: and the king [04428] granted [05414] him all his request [01246], according to the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430] upon him. 15 7 7 And there went up [05927] some of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and of the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and the singers [07891], and the porters [07778], and the Nethinims [05411], unto Jerusalem [03389], in the seventh [07651] year [08141] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04428]. 15 7 8 And he came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] in the fifth [02549] month [02320], which was in the seventh [07637] year [08141] of the king [04428]. 15 7 9 For upon the first [0259] day of the first [07223] month [02320] began [03246] he to go up [04609] from Babylon [0894], and on the first [0259] day of the fifth [02549] month [02320] came [0935] he to Jerusalem [03389], according to the good [02896] hand [03027] of his God [0430] upon him. 15 7 10 For Ezra [05830] had prepared [03559] his heart [03824] to seek [01875] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068], and to do [06213] it, and to teach [03925] in Israel [03478] statutes [02706] and judgments [04941]. 15 7 11 Now this is the copy [06572] of the letter [05406] that the king [04428] Artaxerxes [0783] gave [05414] unto Ezra [05830] the priest [03548], the scribe [05608], even a scribe [05608] of the words [01697] of the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068], and of his statutes [02706] to Israel [03478]. 15 7 12 Artaxerxes [0783], king [04430] of kings [04430], unto Ezra [05831] the priest [03549], a scribe [05613] of the law [01882] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065], perfect [01585] peace, and at such a time [03706]. 15 7 13 I [04481] make [07761] a decree [02942], that all [03606] they of [04481] the people [05972] of Israel [03479], and of his priests [03549] and Levites [03879], in my realm [04437], which are minded of their own freewill [05069] to go up [01946] to Jerusalem [03390], go [01946] with thee [05974]. 15 7 14 Forasmuch [01768] [06903] as [03606] thou art sent [07972] of [04481] [06925] the king [04430], and of his seven [07655] counsellors [03272], to enquire [01240] concerning [05922] Judah [03061] and Jerusalem [03390], according to the law [01882] of thy God [0426] which is in thine hand [03028]; 15 7 15 And to carry [02987] the silver [03702] and gold [01722], which the king [04430] and his counsellors [03272] have freely offered [05069] unto the God [0426] of Israel [03479], whose [01768] habitation [04907] is in Jerusalem [03390], 15 7 16 And all [03606] the silver [03702] and gold [01722] that thou canst find [07912] in all [03606] the province [04083] of Babylon [0895], with [05974] the freewill offering [05069] of the people [05972], and of the priests [03549], offering willingly [05069] for the house [01005] of their God [0426] which is in Jerusalem [03390]: 15 7 17 That [03606] [06903] thou mayest buy [07066] speedily [0629] with this [01836] money [03702] bullocks [08450], rams [01798], lambs [0563], with their meat offerings [04504] and their drink offerings [05261], and offer [07127] them [01994] upon [05922] the altar [04056] of the house [01005] of your God [0426] which is in Jerusalem [03390]. 15 7 18 And whatsoever [04101] [01768] shall seem good [03191] to thee, and to [05922] thy brethren [0252], to do [05648] with the rest [07606] of the silver [03702] and the gold [01722], that do [05648] after the will [07470] of your God [0426]. 15 7 19 The vessels [03984] also that are given [03052] thee for the service [06402] of the house [01005] of thy God [0426], those deliver [08000] thou before [06925] the God [0426] of Jerusalem [03390]. 15 7 20 And whatsoever more [07606] shall be needful [02819] for the house [01005] of thy God [0426], which thou shalt have occasion [05308] to bestow [05415], bestow [05415] it out of [04481] the king's [04430] treasure [01596] house [01005]. 15 7 21 And I [04481], even I [0576] Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04430], do make [07761] a decree [02942] to all [03606] the treasurers [01490] which are beyond [05675] the river [05103], that whatsoever Ezra [05831] the priest [03549], the scribe [05613] of the law [01882] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065], shall require [07593] of you, it be done [05648] speedily [0629], 15 7 22 Unto [05705] an hundred [03969] talents [03604] of silver [03702], and to an hundred [03969] measures [03734] of wheat [02591], and to an hundred [03969] baths [01325] of wine [02562], and to an hundred [03969] baths [01325] of oil [04887], and salt [04416] without [03809] prescribing [03792] how much. 15 7 23 Whatsoever [03606] is commanded by [02941] [04481] the God [0426] of heaven [08065], let it be diligently [0149] done [05648] for the house [01005] of the God [0426] of heaven [08065]: for [01768] why [04101] should there be [01934] wrath [07109] against [05922] the realm [04437] of the king [04430] and his sons [01123]? 15 7 24 Also we certify [03046] you, that touching any [03606] of the priests [03549] and Levites [03879], singers [02171], porters [08652], Nethinims [05412], or ministers [06399] of this [01836] house [01005] of God [0426], it shall not [03809] be lawful [07990] to impose [07412] toll [04061], tribute [01093], or custom [01983], upon [05922] them. 15 7 25 And thou [0607], Ezra [05831], after the wisdom [02452] of thy God [0426], that is in thine hand [03028], set [04483] magistrates [08200] and judges [01782], which may judge [01934] [01778] all [03606] the people [05972] that are beyond [05675] the river [05103], all [03606] such as know [03046] the laws [01882] of thy God [0426]; and teach [03046] ye them that know [03046] them not [03809]. 15 7 26 And whosoever [03606] will not [03809] do [01934] [05648] the law [01882] of thy God [0426], and the law [01882] of the king [04430], let judgment [01780] be [01934] executed [05648] speedily [0629] upon him [04481], whether [02006] it be unto death [04193], or [02006] to banishment [08332], or [02006] to confiscation [06065] of goods [05232], or to imprisonment [0613]. 15 7 27 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of our fathers [01], which hath put [05414] such a thing as this in the king's [04428] heart [03820], to beautify [06286] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] which is in Jerusalem [03389]: 15 7 28 And hath extended [05186] mercy [02617] unto me before [06440] the king [04428], and his counsellors [03289], and before all the king's [04428] mighty [01368] princes [08269]. And I was strengthened [02388] as the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430] was upon me, and I gathered together [06908] out of Israel [03478] chief men [07218] to go up [05927] with me. 15 8 1 These are now the chief [07218] of their fathers [01], and this is the genealogy [03187] of them that went up [05927] with me from Babylon [0894], in the reign [04438] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04428]. 15 8 2 Of the sons [01121] of Phinehas [06372]; Gershom [01647]: of the sons [01121] of Ithamar [0385]; Daniel [01840]: of the sons [01121] of David [01732]; Hattush [02407]. 15 8 3 Of the sons [01121] of Shechaniah [07935], of the sons [01121] of Pharosh [06551]; Zechariah [02148]: and with him were reckoned by genealogy [03187] of the males [02145] an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572]. 15 8 4 Of the sons [01121] of Pahathmoab [06355]; Elihoenai [0454] the son [01121] of Zerahiah [02228], and with him two hundred [03967] males [02145]. 15 8 5 Of the sons [01121] of Shechaniah [07935];

Obadiah [05662] the son [01121] of Jehiel [03171], and with him two hundred [03967] and eighteen [08083] [06240] males [02145]. 15 8 10 And of the sons [01121] of Shelomith [08019]; the son [01121] of Josiphiah [03131], and with him an hundred [03967] and threescore [08346] males [02145]. 15 8 11 And of the sons [01121] of Bebai [0893]; Zechariah [02148] the son [01121] of Bebai [0893], and with him twenty [06242] and eight [08083] males [02145]. 15 8 12 And of the sons [01121] of Azgad [05803]; Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Hakkatan [06997], and with him an hundred [03967] and ten [06235] males [02145]. 15 8 13 And of the last [0314] sons [01121] of Adonikam [0140], whose names [08034] are these, Eliphelet [0467], Jeiel [03273], and Shemaiah [08098], and with them threescore [08346] males [02145]. 15 8 14 Of the sons [01121] also of Bigvai [0902]; Uthai [05793], and Zabbud [02072] [02139], and with them seventy [07657] males [02145]. 15 8 15 And I gathered them together [06908] to the river [05104] that runneth [0935] to Ahava [0163]; and there abode we in tents [02583] three [07969] days [03117]: and I viewed [0995] the people [05971], and the priests [03548], and found [04672] there none of the sons [01121] of Levi [03878]. 15 8 16 Then sent [07971] I for Eliezer [0461], for Ariel [0740], for Shemaiah [08098], and for Elnathan [0494], and for Jarib [03402], and for Elnathan [0494], and for Nathan [05416], and for Zechariah [02148], and for Meshullam [04918], chief men [07218]; also for Joiarib [03114], and for Elnathan [0494], men of understanding [0995]. 15 8 17 And I sent [06680] them with commandment [03318] unto Iddo [0112] the chief [07218] at the place [04725] Casiphia [03703], and I told [07760] [06310] them what [01697] they should say [01696] unto Iddo [0112], and to his brethren [0251] the Nethinims [05411] [05411], at the place [04725] Casiphia [03703], that they should bring [0935] unto us ministers [08334] for the house [01004] of our God [0430]. 15 8 18 And by the good [02896] hand [03027] of our God [0430] upon us they brought [0935] us a man [0376] of understanding [07922], of the sons [01121] of Mahli [04249], the son [01121] of Levi [03878], the son [01121] of Israel [03478]; and Sherebiah [08274], with his sons [01121] and his brethren [0251], eighteen [08083] [06240]; 15 8 19 And Hashabiah [02811], and with him Jeshaiah [03470] of the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], his brethren [0251] and their sons [01121], twenty [06242]; 15 8 20 Also of the Nethinims [05411], whom David [01732] and the princes [08269] had appointed [05414] for the service [05656] of the Levites [03881], two hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] Nethinims [05411]: all of them were expressed [05344] by name [08034]. 15 8 21 Then I proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685] there, at the river [05104] of Ahava [0163], that we might afflict [06031] ourselves before [06440] our God [0430], to seek [01245] of him a right [03477] way [01870] for us, and for our little ones [02945], and for all our substance [07399]. 15 8 22 For I was ashamed [0954] to require [07592] of the king [04428] a band of soldiers [02428] and horsemen [06571] to help [05826] us against the enemy [0341] in the way [01870]: because we had spoken [0559] unto the king [04428], saying [0559], The hand [03027] of our God [0430] is upon all them for good [02896] that seek [01245] him; but his power [05797] and his wrath [0639] is against all them that forsake [05800] him. 15 8 23 So we fasted [06684] and besought [01245] our God [0430] for this: and he was intreated [06279] of us. 15 8 24 Then I separated [0914] twelve [08147] [06240] of the chief [08269] of the priests [03548], Sherebiah [08274], Hashabiah [02811], and ten [06235] of their brethren [0251] with them, 15 8 25 And weighed [08254] unto them the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the vessels [03627], even the offering [08641] of the house [01004] of our God [0430], which the king [04428], and his counsellors [03289], and his lords [08269], and all Israel [03478] there present [04672], had offered [07311]: 15 8 26 I even weighed [08254] unto their hand [03027] six [08337] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] talents [03603] of silver [03701], and silver [03701] vessels [03627] an hundred [03967] talents [03603], and of gold [02091] an hundred [03967] talents [03603]; 15 8 27 Also twenty [06242] basons [03713] of gold [02091], of a thousand [0505] drams [0150]; and two [08147] vessels [03627] of fine [02896] [06668] copper [05178], precious [02532] as gold [02091]. 15 8 28 And I said [0559] unto them, Ye are holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]; the vessels [03627] are holy [06944] also; and the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] are a freewill offering [05071] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01]. 15 8 29 Watch [08245] ye, and keep [08104] them, until ye weigh [08254] them before [06440] the chief [08269] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], and chief [08269] of the fathers [01] of Israel [03478], at Jerusalem [03389], in the chambers [03957] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 15 8 30 So took [06901] the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881] the weight [04948] of the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the vessels [03627], to bring [0935] them to Jerusalem [03389] unto the house [01004] of our God [0430]. 15 8 31 Then we departed [05265] from the river [05104] of Ahava [0163] on the twelfth [08147] [06240] day of the first [07223] month [02320], to go [03212] unto Jerusalem [03389]: and the hand [03027] of our God [0430] was upon us, and he delivered [05337] us from the hand [03709] of the enemy [0341], and of such as lay in wait [0693] by the way [01870]. 15 8 32 And we came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and abode [03427] there three [07969] days [03117]. 15 8 33 Now on the fourth [07243] day [03117] was the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] and the vessels [03627] weighed [08254] in the house [01004] of our God [0430] by the hand [03027] of Meremoth [04822] the son [01121] of Uriah [0223] the priest [03548]; and with him was Eleazar [0499] the son [01121] of Phinehas [06372]; and with them was Jozabad [03107] the son [01121] of Jeshua [03442], and Noadiah [05129] the son [01121] of Binnui [01131], Levites [03881]; 15 8 34 By number [04557] and by weight [04948] of every one: and all the weight [04948] was written [03789] at that time [06256]. 15 8 35 Also the children [01121] of those that had been carried away [01473], which were come out [0935] of the captivity [07628], offered [07126] burnt offerings [05930] unto the God [0430] of Israel [03478], twelve [08147] [06240] bullocks [06499] for all Israel [03478], ninety [08673] and six [08337] rams [0352], seventy [07657] and seven [07651] lambs [03532], twelve [08147] [06240] he goats [06842] for a sin offering [02403]: all this was a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]. 15 8 36 And they delivered [05414] the king's [04428] commissions [01881] unto the king's [04428] lieutenants [0323], and to the governors [06346] on this side [05676] the river [05104]: and they furthered [05375] the people [05971], and the house [01004] of God [0430]. 15 9 1 Now when these things were done [03615], the princes [08269] came [05066] to me, saying [0559], The people [05971] of Israel [03478], and the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], have not separated [0914] themselves from the people [05971] of the lands [0776], doing according to their abominations [08441], even of the Canaanites [03669], the Hittites [02850], the Perizzites [06522], the Jebusites [02983], the Ammonites [05984], the Moabites [04125], the Egyptians [04713], and the Amorites [0567]. 15 9 2 For they have taken [05375] of their daughters [01323] for themselves, and for their sons [01121]: so that the holy [06944] seed [02233] have mingled [06148] themselves with the people [05971] of those lands [0776]: yea, the hand [03027] of the princes [08269] and rulers [05461] hath been chief [07223] in this trespass [04604]. 15 9 3 And when I heard [08085] this thing [01697], I rent [07167] my garment [0899] and my mantle [04598], and plucked off [04803] the hair [08181] of my head [07218] and of my beard [02206], and sat down [03427] astonied [08074]. 15 9 4 Then were assembled [0622] unto me every one that trembled [02730] at the words [01697] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], because of the transgression [04604] of those that had been carried away [01473]; and I sat [03427] astonied [08074] until the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503]. 15 9 5 And at the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503] I arose up [06965] from my heaviness [08589]; and having rent [07167] my garment [0899] and my mantle [04598], I fell [03766] upon my knees [01290], and spread out [06566] my hands [03709] unto the LORD [03068] my God [0430], 15 9 6 And said [0559], O my God [0430], I am ashamed [0954] and blush [03637] to lift up [07311] my face [06440] to thee, my God [0430]: for our iniquities [05771] are increased [07235] over [04605] our head [07218], and our trespass [0819] is grown up [01431] unto the heavens [08064]. 15 9 7 Since the days [03117] of our fathers [01] have we been in a great [01419] trespass [0819] unto this day [03117]; and for our iniquities [05771] have we, our kings [04428], and our priests [03548], been delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the kings [04428] of the lands [0776], to the sword [02719], to captivity [07628], and to a spoil [0961], and to confusion [01322] of face [06440], as it is this day [03117]. 15 9 8 And now for a little [04592] space [07281] grace [08467] hath been shewed from the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to leave [07604] us a remnant to escape [06413], and to give [05414] us a nail [03489] in his holy [06944] place [04725], that our God [0430] may lighten [0215] our eyes [05869], and give [05414] us a little [04592] reviving [04241] in our bondage [05659]. 15 9 9 For we were bondmen [05650]; yet our God [0430] hath not forsaken [05800] us in our bondage [05659], but hath extended [05186] mercy [02617] unto us in the sight [06440] of the kings [04428] of Persia [06539], to give [05414] us a reviving [04241], to set up [07311] the house [01004] of our God [0430], and to repair [05975] the desolations [02723] thereof, and to give [05414] us a wall [01447] in Judah [03063] and in Jerusalem [03389]. 15 9 10 And now, O our God [0430], what shall we say [0559] after [0310] this? for we have forsaken [05800] thy commandments [04687], 15 9 11 Which thou hast commanded [06680] by [03027] thy servants [05650] the prophets [05030], saying [0559], The land [0776], unto which ye go [0935] to possess [03423] it, is an unclean [05079] land [0776] with the filthiness [05079] of the people [05971] of the lands [0776], with their abominations [08441], which have filled [04390] it from one end [06310] to another [06310] with their uncleanness [02932]. 15 9 12 Now therefore give [05414] not your daughters [01323] unto their sons [01121], neither take [05375] their daughters [01323] unto your sons [01121], nor seek [01875] their peace [07965] or their wealth [02896] for [05704] ever [05769]: that ye may be strong [02388], and eat [0398] the good [02898] of the land [0776], and leave it for an inheritance [03423] to your children [01121] for ever [05769]. 15 9 13 And after [0310] all that is come [0935] upon us for our evil [07451] deeds [04639], and for our great [01419] trespass [0819], seeing that thou our God [0430] hast punished [02820] us less [04295] than our iniquities [05771] deserve, and hast given [05414] us such deliverance [06413] as this; 15 9 14 Should we again [07725] break [06565] thy commandments [04687], and join in affinity [02859] with the people [05971] of these abominations [08441]? wouldest not thou be angry [0599] with us till thou hadst consumed [03615] us, so that there should be no remnant [07611] nor escaping [06413]? 15 9 15 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], thou art righteous [06662]: for we remain [07604] yet escaped [06413], as it is this day [03117]: behold, we are before [06440] thee in our trespasses [0819]: for we cannot stand [05975] before [06440] thee because of this. 15 10 1 Now when Ezra [05830] had prayed [06419], and when he had confessed [03034], weeping [01058] and casting himself down [05307] before [06440] the house [01004] of God [0430], there assembled [06908] unto him out of Israel [03478] a very [03966] great [07227] congregation [06951] of men [0582] and women [0802] and children [03206]: for the people [05971] wept [01058] very [07235] sore [01059]. 15 10 2 And Shechaniah [07935] the son [01121] of Jehiel [03171], one of the sons [01121] of Elam [05867], answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Ezra [05830], We have trespassed [04603] against our God [0430], and have taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802] of the people [05971] of the land [0776]: yet now there is [03426] hope [04723] in Israel [03478] concerning this thing. 15 10 3 Now therefore let us make [03772] a covenant [01285] with our God [0430] to put away [03318] all the wives [0802], and such as are born [03205] of them, according to the counsel [06098] of my lord [0136], and of those that tremble [02730] at the commandment [04687] of our God [0430]; and let it be done [06213] according to the law [08451]. 15 10 4 Arise [06965]; for this matter [01697] belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage [02388], and do [06213] it. 15 10 5 Then arose [06965] Ezra [05830], and made the chief [08269] priests [03548], the Levites [03881], and all Israel [03478], to swear [07650] that they should do [06213] according to this word [01697]. And they sware [07650]. 15 10 6 Then Ezra [05830] rose up [06965] from before [06440] the house [01004] of God [0430], and went [03212] into the chamber [03957] of Johanan [03076] the son [01121] of Eliashib [0475]: and when he came [03212] thither, he did eat [0398] no bread [03899], nor drink [08354] water [04325]: for he mourned [056] because of the transgression [04604] of them that had been carried away [01473]. 15 10 7 And they made proclamation [05674] [06963] throughout Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] unto all the children [01121] of the captivity [01473], that they should gather themselves together [06908] unto Jerusalem [03389]; 15 10 8 And that whosoever would not come [0935] within three [07969] days [03117], according to the counsel [06098] of the princes [08269] and the elders [02205], all his substance [07399] should be forfeited [02763], and himself separated [0914] from the congregation [06951] of those that had been carried away [01473]. 15 10 9 Then all the men [0582] of Judah [03063] and Benjamin [01144] gathered themselves together [06908] unto Jerusalem [03389] within three [07969] days [03117]. It was the ninth [08671] month [02320], on the twentieth [06242] day of the month [02320]; and all the people [05971] sat [03427] in the street [07339] of the house [01004] of God [0430], trembling [07460] because of this matter [01697], and for the great rain [01653]. 15 10 10 And Ezra [05830] the priest [03548] stood up [06965], and said [0559] unto them, Ye have transgressed [04603], and have taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802], to increase [03254] the trespass [0819] of Israel [03478]. 15 10 11 Now therefore make [05414] confession [08426] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of your fathers [01], and do [06213] his pleasure [07522]: and separate [0914] yourselves from the people [05971] of the land [0776], and from the strange [05237] wives [0802]. 15 10 12 Then all the congregation [06951] answered [06030] and said [0559] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], As thou hast said [01697], so must we do [06213]. 15 10 13 But [061] the people [05971] are many [07227], and it is a time [06256] of much rain [01653], and we are not able [03581] to stand [05975] without [02351], neither is this a work [04399] of one [0259] day [03117] or two [08147]: for we are many [07235] that have transgressed [06586] in this thing [01697]. 15 10 14 Let now our rulers [08269] of all the congregation [06951] stand [05975], and let all them which have taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802] in our cities [05892] come [0935] at appointed [02163] times [06256], and with them the elders [02205] of every city [05892], and the judges [08199] thereof, until the fierce [02740] wrath [0639] of our God [0430] for this matter [01697] be turned [07725] from us. 15 10 15 Only Jonathan [03129] the son [01121] of Asahel [06214] and Jahaziah [03167] the son [01121] of Tikvah [08616] were employed [05975] about this matter: and Meshullam [04918] and Shabbethai [07678] the Levite [03881] helped [05826] them. 15 10 16 And the children [01121] of the captivity [01473] did so [06213]. And Ezra [05830] the priest [03548], with certain [0582] chief [07218] of the fathers [01], after the house [01004] of their fathers [01], and all of them by their names [08034], were separated [0914], and sat down [03427] in the first [0259] day [03117] of the tenth [06224] month [02320] to examine [01875] the matter [01697]. 15 10 17 And they made an end [03615] with all the men [0582] that had taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802] by the first [0259] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320]. 15 10 18 And among the sons [01121] of the priests [03548] there were found [04672] that had taken [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802]: namely, of the sons [01121] of Jeshua [03442] the son [01121] of Jozadak [03136], and his brethren [0251]; Maaseiah [04641], and Eliezer [0461], and Jarib [03402], and Gedaliah [01436]. 15 10 19 And they gave [05414] their hands [03027] that they would put away [03318] their wives [0802]; and being guilty [0818], they offered a ram [0352] of the flock [06629] for their trespass [0819]. 15 10 20 And of the sons [01121] of Immer [0564]; Hanani [02607], and Zebadiah [02069]. 15 10 21 And of the sons [01121] of Harim [02766]; Maaseiah [04641], and Elijah [0452], and Shemaiah [08098], and Jehiel [03171], and Uzziah [05818]. 15 10 22 And of the sons [01121] of Pashur [06583]; Elioenai [0454], Maaseiah [04641], Ishmael [03458], Nethaneel [05417], Jozabad [03107], and Elasah [0501]. 15 10 23 Also of the Levites [03881]; Jozabad [03107], and Shimei [08096], and Kelaiah [07041], (the same is Kelita [07042],) Pethahiah [06611], Judah [03063], and Eliezer [0461]. 15 10 24 Of the singers [07891] also; Eliashib [0475]: and of the porters [07778]; Shallum [07967], and Telem [02928], and Uri [0221]. 15 10 25 Moreover of Israel [03478]: of the sons [01121] of Parosh [06551]; Ramiah [07422], and Jeziah [03150], and Malchiah [04441], and Miamin [04326], and Eleazar [0499], and Malchijah [04441], and Benaiah [01141]. 15 10 26 And of the sons [01121] of Elam [05867]; Mattaniah [04983], Zechariah [02148], and Jehiel [03171], and Abdi [05660], and Jeremoth [03406], and Eliah [0452]. 15 10 27 And of the sons [01121] of Zattu [02240]; Elioenai [0454], Eliashib [0475], Mattaniah [04983], and Jeremoth [03406], and Zabad [02066], and Aziza [05819]. 15 10 28 Of the sons [01121] also of Bebai [0893]; Jehohanan [03076], Hananiah [02608], Zabbai [02140] [02079], and Athlai [06270]. 15 10 29 And of the sons [01121] of Bani [01137]; Meshullam [04918], Malluch [04409], and Adaiah [05718], Jashub [03437], and Sheal [07594], and Ramoth [07433]. 15 10 30 And of the sons [01121] of Pahathmoab [06355]; Adna [05733], and Chelal [03636], Benaiah [01141], Maaseiah [04641], Mattaniah [04983], Bezaleel [01212], and Binnui [01131], and Manasseh [04519]. 15 10 31 And of the sons [01121] of Harim [02766]; Eliezer [0461], Ishijah [03449], Malchiah [04441], Shemaiah [08098], Shimeon [08095], 15 10 32 Benjamin [01144], Malluch [04409], and Shemariah [08114]. 15 10 33 Of the sons [01121] of Hashum [02828]; Mattenai [04982], Mattathah [04992], Zabad [02066], Eliphelet [0467], Jeremai [03413], Manasseh [04519], and Shimei [08096]. 15 10 34 Of the sons [01121] of Bani [01137]; Maadai [04572], Amram [06019], and Uel [0177], 15 10 35 Benaiah [01141], Bedeiah [0912], Chelluh [03622], 15 10 36 Vaniah [02057], Meremoth [04822], Eliashib [0475], 15 10 37 Mattaniah [04983], Mattenai [04982], and Jaasau [03299], 15 10 38 And Bani [01137], and Binnui [01131], Shimei [08096], 15 10 39 And Shelemiah [08018], and Nathan [05416], and Adaiah [05718], 15 10 40 Machnadebai [04367], Shashai [08343], Sharai [08298], 15 10 41 Azareel [05832], and Shelemiah [08018], Shemariah [08114], 15 10 42 Shallum [07967], Amariah [0568], and Joseph [03130]. 15 10 43 Of the sons [01121] of Nebo [05015]; Jeiel [03273], Mattithiah [04993], Zabad [02066], Zebina [02081], Jadau [03035], and Joel [03100], Benaiah [01141]. 15 10 44 All these had taken [05375] [05375] strange [05237] wives [0802]: and some of them had [03426] wives [0802] by whom they had [07760] children [01121]. 16 1 1 The words [01697] of Nehemiah [05166] the son [01121] of Hachaliah [02446]. And it came to pass in the month [02320] Chisleu [03691], in the twentieth [06242] year [08141], as I was in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], 16 1 2 That Hanani [02607], one [0259] of my brethren [0251], came [0935], he and certain men [0582] of Judah [03063]; and I asked [07592] them concerning the Jews [03064] that had escaped [06413], which were left [07604] of the captivity [07628], and concerning Jerusalem [03389]. 16 1 3 And they said [0559] unto me, The remnant [07604] that are left [07604] of the captivity [07628] there in the province [04082] are in great [01419] affliction [07451] and reproach [02781]: the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] also is broken down [06555], and the gates [08179] thereof are burned [03341] with fire [0784]. 16 1 4 And it came to pass, when I heard [08085] these words [01697], that I sat down [03427] and wept [01058], and mourned [056] certain days [03117], and fasted [06684], and prayed [06419] before [06440] the God [0430] of heaven [08064], 16 1 5 And said [0559], I beseech [0577] thee, O LORD [03068] God [0430] of heaven [08064], the great [01419] and terrible [03372] God [0410], that keepeth [08104] covenant [01285] and mercy [02617] for them that love [0157] him and observe [08104] his commandments [04687]: 16 1 6 Let thine ear [0241] now be attentive [07183], and thine eyes [05869] open [06605], that thou mayest hear [08085] the prayer [08605] of thy servant [05650], which I pray [06419] before [06440] thee now [03117], day [03119] and night [03915], for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] thy servants [05650], and confess [03034] the sins [02403] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which we have sinned [02398] against thee: both I and my father's [01] house [01004] have sinned [02398]. 16 1 7 We have dealt very [02254] corruptly [02254] against thee, and have not kept [08104] the commandments [04687], nor the statutes [02706], nor the judgments [04941], which thou commandedst [06680] thy servant [05650] Moses [04872]. 16 1 8 Remember [02142], I beseech thee, the word [01697] that thou commandedst [06680] thy servant [05650] Moses [04872], saying [0559], If ye transgress [04603], I will scatter you abroad [06327] among the nations [05971]: 16 1 9 But if ye turn [07725] unto me, and keep [08104] my commandments [04687], and do [06213] them; though there were of you cast out [05080] unto the uttermost part [07097] of the heaven [08064], yet will I gather [06908] them from thence, and will bring [0935] them unto the place [04725] that I have chosen [0977] to set [07931] my name [08034] there. 16 1 10 Now these are thy servants [05650] and thy people [05971], whom thou hast redeemed [06299] by thy great [01419] power [03581], and by thy strong [02389] hand [03027]. 16 1 11 O Lord [0136], I beseech [0577] thee, let now thine ear [0241] be attentive [07183] to the prayer [08605] of thy servant [05650], and to the prayer [08605] of thy servants [05650], who desire [02655] to fear [03372] thy name [08034]: and prosper [06743], I pray thee, thy servant [05650] this day [03117], and grant [05414] him mercy [07356] in the sight [06440] of this man [0376]. For I was the king's [04428] cupbearer [08248]. 16 2 1 And it came to pass in the month [02320] Nisan [05212], in the twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04428], that wine [03196] was before [06440] him: and I took up [05375] the wine [03196], and gave [05414] it unto the king [04428]. Now I had not been beforetime sad [07451] in his presence [06440]. 16 2 2 Wherefore the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, Why is thy countenance [06440] sad [07451], seeing thou art not sick [02470]? this is nothing else but sorrow [07455] of heart [03820]. Then I was very [03966] sore [07235] afraid [03372], 16 2 3 And said [0559] unto the king [04428], Let the king [04428] live [02421] for ever [05769]: why should not my countenance [06440] be sad [03415], when the city [05892], the place [01004] of my fathers [01]' sepulchres [06913], lieth waste [02720], and the gates [08179] thereof are consumed [0398] with fire [0784]? 16 2 4 Then the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, For what dost thou make request [01245]? So I prayed [06419] to the God [0430] of heaven [08064]. 16 2 5 And I said [0559] unto the king [04428], If it please [02895] the king [04428], and if thy servant [05650] have found favour [03190] in thy sight [06440], that thou wouldest send [07971] me unto Judah [03063], unto the city [05892] of my fathers [01]' sepulchres [06913], that I may build [01129] it. 16 2 6 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto me, (the queen [07694] also sitting [03427] by him [0681],) For how long shall thy journey [04109] be? and when wilt thou return [07725]? So it pleased [03190] [06440] the king [04428] to send [07971] me; and I set [05414] him a time [02165]. 16 2 7 Moreover I said [0559] unto the king [04428], If it please [02895] the king [04428], let letters [0107] be given [05414] me to the governors [06346] beyond [05676] the river [05104], that they may convey me over [05674] till I come [0935] into Judah [03063]; 16 2 8 And a letter [0107] unto Asaph [0623] the keeper [08104] of the king's [04428] forest [06508], that he may give [05414] me timber [06086] to make beams [07136] for the gates [08179] of the palace [01002] which appertained to the house [01004], and for the wall [02346] of the city [05892], and for the house [01004] that I shall enter into [0935]. And the king [04428] granted [05414] me, according to the good [02896] hand [03027] of my God [0430] upon me. 16 2 9 Then I came [0935] to the governors [06346] beyond [05676] the river [05104], and gave [05414] them the king's [04428] letters [0107]. Now the king [04428] had sent [07971] captains [08269] of the army [02428] and horsemen [06571] with me. 16 2 10 When Sanballat [05571] the Horonite [02772], and Tobiah [02900] the servant [05650], the Ammonite [05984], heard [08085] of it, it grieved [03415] them exceedingly [07451] [01419] that there was come [0935] a man [0120] to seek [01245] the welfare [02896] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 16 2 11 So I came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and was there three [07969] days [03117]. 16 2 12 And I arose [06965] in the night [03915], I and some [04592] few [04592] men [0582] with me; neither told [05046] I any man [0120] what my God [0430] had put [05414] in my heart [03820] to do [06213] at Jerusalem [03389]: neither was there any beast [0929] with me, save the beast [0929] that I rode upon [07392]. 16 2 13 And I went out [03318] by night [03915] by the gate [08179] of the valley [01516], even before [06440] the dragon [08577] well [05869] [05886], and to the dung [0830] port [08179], and viewed [07663] [07665] the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], which were broken down [06555], and the gates [08179] thereof were consumed [0398] with fire [0784]. 16 2 14 Then I went on [05674] to the gate [08179] of the fountain [05869], and to the king's [04428] pool [01295]: but there was no place [04725] for the beast [0929] that was under me to pass [05674]. 16 2 15 Then went I up [05927] in the night [03915] by the brook [05158], and viewed [07663] [07665] the wall [02346], and turned back [07725], and entered [0935] by the gate [08179] of the valley [01516], and so returned [07725]. 16 2 16 And the rulers [05461] knew [03045] not whither I went [01980], or what I did [06213]; neither had I as yet [03651] told [05046] it to the Jews [03064], nor to the priests [03548], nor to the nobles [02715], nor to the rulers [05461], nor to the rest [03499] that did [06213] the work [04399]. 16 2 17 Then said [0559] I unto them, Ye see [07200] the distress [07451] that we are in, how Jerusalem [03389] lieth waste [02720], and the gates [08179] thereof are burned [03341] with fire [0784]: come [03212], and let us build up [01129] the wall [02346] of Jerusalem [03389], that we be no more a reproach [02781]. 16 2 18 Then I told [05046] them of the hand [03027] of my God [0430] which was good [02896] upon me; as also the king's [04428] words [01697] that he had spoken [0559] unto me. And they said [0559], Let us rise up [06965] and build [01129]. So they strengthened [02388] their hands [03027] for this good [02896] work. 16 2 19 But when Sanballat [05571] the Horonite [02772], and Tobiah [02900] the servant [05650], the Ammonite [05984], and Geshem [01654] the Arabian [06163], heard [08085] it, they laughed us to scorn [03932], and despised [0959] us, and said [0559], What is this thing [01697] that ye do [06213]? will ye rebel [04775] against the king [04428]? 16 2 20 Then answered [07725] [01697] I them, and said [0559] unto them, The God [0430] of heaven [08064], he will prosper [06743] us; therefore we his servants [05650] will arise [06965] and build [01129]: but ye have no portion [02506], nor right [06666], nor memorial [02146], in Jerusalem [03389]. 16 3 1 Then Eliashib [0475] the high [01419] priest [03548] rose up [06965] with his brethren [0251] the priests [03548], and they builded [01129] the sheep [06629] gate [08179]; they sanctified [06942] it, and set up [05975] the doors [01817] of it; even unto the tower [04026] of Meah [03968] they sanctified [06942] it, unto the tower [04026] of Hananeel [02606]. 16 3 2 And next unto him [03027] builded [01129] the men [0582] of Jericho [03405]. And next to them builded [01129] Zaccur [02139] the son [01121] of Imri [0566]. 16 3 3 But the fish [01709] gate [08179] did the sons [01121] of Hassenaah [05570] build [01129], who also laid the beams [07136] thereof, and set up [05975] the doors [01817] thereof, the locks [04514] thereof, and the bars [01280] thereof. 16 3 4 And next unto them [03027] repaired [02388] Meremoth [04822] the son [01121] of Urijah [0223], the son [01121] of Koz [06976].

Next unto him [03027] repaired [02388] Hashabiah [02811], the ruler [08269] of the half [02677] part [06418] of Keilah [07084], in his part [06418]. 16 3 18 After [0310] him repaired [02388] their brethren [0251], Bavai [0942] the son [01121] of Henadad [02582], the ruler [08269] of the half [02677] part [06418] of Keilah [07084]. 16 3 19 And next to him [03027] repaired [02388] Ezer [05829] the son [01121] of Jeshua [03442], the ruler [08269] of Mizpah [04709], another [08145] piece [04060] over against the going up [05927] to the armoury [05402] at the turning [04740] of the wall. 16 3 20 After [0310] him Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Zabbai [02079] earnestly [02734] repaired [02388] the other [08145] piece [04060], from the turning [04740] of the wall unto the door [06607] of the house [01004] of Eliashib [0475] the high [01419] priest [03548]. 16 3 21 After [0310] him repaired [02388] Meremoth [04822] the son [01121] of Urijah [0223] the son [01121] of Koz [06976] another [08145] piece [04060], from the door [06607] of the house [01004] of Eliashib [0475] even to the end [08503] of the house [01004] of Eliashib [0475]. 16 3 22 And after [0310] him repaired [02388] the priests [03548], the men [0582] of the plain [03603]. 16 3 23 After [0310] him repaired [02388] Benjamin [01144] and Hashub [02815] over against their house [01004]. After [0310] him repaired [02388] Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the son [01121] of Ananiah [06055] by [0681] his house [01004]. 16 3 24 After [0310] him repaired [02388] Binnui [01131] the son [01121] of Henadad [02582] another [08145] piece [04060], from the house [01004] of Azariah [05838] unto the turning [04740] of the wall, even unto the corner [06438]. 16 3 25 Palal [06420] the son [01121] of Uzai [0186], over against the turning [04740] of the wall, and the tower [04026] which lieth out [03318] from the king's [04428] high [05945] house [01004], that was by the court [02691] of the prison [04307]. After [0310] him Pedaiah [06305] the son [01121] of Parosh [06551]. 16 3 26 Moreover the Nethinims [05411] dwelt [03427] in Ophel [06077], unto the place over against the water [04325] gate [08179] toward the east [04217], and the tower [04026] that lieth out [03318]. 16 3 27 After [0310] them the Tekoites [08621] repaired [02388] another [08145] piece [04060], over against the great [01419] tower [04026] that lieth out [03318], even unto the wall [02346] of Ophel [06077]. 16 3 28 From above the horse [05483] gate [08179] repaired [02388] the priests [03548], every one [0376] over against [05048] his house [01004]. 16 3 29 After [0310] them repaired [02388] Zadok [06659] the son [01121] of Immer [0564] over against his house [01004]. After [0310] him repaired [02388] also Shemaiah [08098] the son [01121] of Shechaniah [07935], the keeper [08104] of the east [04217] gate [08179]. 16 3 30 After [0310] him repaired [02388] Hananiah [02608] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], and Hanun [02586] the sixth [08345] son [01121] of Zalaph [06764], another [08145] piece [04060]. After [0310] him repaired [02388] Meshullam [04918] the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296] over against his chamber [05393]. 16 3 31 After [0310] him repaired [02388] Malchiah [04441] the goldsmith's [06885] son [01121] unto the place [01004] of the Nethinims [05411], and of the merchants [07402], over against the gate [08179] Miphkad [04663], and to the going up [05944] of the corner [06438]. 16 3 32 And between the going up [05944] of the corner [06438] unto the sheep [06629] gate [08179] repaired [02388] the goldsmiths [06884] and the merchants [07402]. 16 4 1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat [05571] heard [08085] that we builded [01129] the wall [02346], he was wroth [02734], and took great [07235] indignation [03707], and mocked [03932] the Jews [03064]. 16 4 2 And he spake [0559] before [06440] his brethren [0251] and the army [02428] of Samaria [08111], and said [0559], What do [06213] these feeble [0537] Jews [03064]? will they fortify [05800] themselves? will they sacrifice [02076]? will they make an end [03615] in a day [03117]? will they revive [02421] the stones [068] out of the heaps [06194] of the rubbish [06083] which are burned [08313]? 16 4 3 Now Tobiah [02900] the Ammonite [05984] was by him [0681], and he said [0559], Even that which they build [01129], if a fox [07776] go up [05927], he shall even break down [06555] their stone [068] wall [02346]. 16 4 4 Hear [08085], O our God [0430]; for we are despised [0939]: and turn [07725] their reproach [02781] upon their own head [07218], and give [05414] them for a prey [0961] in the land [0776] of captivity [07633]: 16 4 5 And cover [03680] not their iniquity [05771], and let not their sin [02403] be blotted out [04229] from before [06440] thee: for they have provoked thee to anger [03707] before the builders [01129]. 16 4 6 So built [01129] we the wall [02346]; and all the wall [02346] was joined together [07194] unto the half [02677] thereof: for the people [05971] had a mind [03820] to work [06213]. 16 4 7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat [05571], and Tobiah [02900], and the Arabians [06163], and the Ammonites [05984], and the Ashdodites [0796], heard [08085] that the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] were made up [0724] [05927], and that the breaches [06555] began [02490] to be stopped [05640], then they were very [03966] wroth [02734], 16 4 8 And conspired [07194] all of them together [03162] to come [0935] and to fight [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and to hinder [06213] [08442] it. 16 4 9 Nevertheless we made our prayer [06419] unto our God [0430], and set [05975] a watch [04929] against them day [03119] and night [03915], because [06440] of them. 16 4 10 And Judah [03063] said [0559], The strength [03581] of the bearers of burdens [05449] is decayed [03782], and there is much [07235] rubbish [06083]; so that we are not able [03201] to build [01129] the wall [02346]. 16 4 11 And our adversaries [06862] said [0559], They shall not know [03045], neither see [07200], till we come [0935] in the midst [08432] among [08432] them, and slay [02026] them, and cause the work [04399] to cease [07673]. 16 4 12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews [03064] which dwelt [03427] by them [0681] came [0935], they said [0559] unto us ten [06235] times [06471], From all places [04725] whence ye shall return [07725] unto us they will be upon you. 16 4 13 Therefore set [05975] I in the lower [08482] places [04725] behind [0310] the wall [02346], and on the higher places [06706] [06708], I even set [05975] the people [05971] after their families [04940] with their swords [02719], their spears [07420], and their bows [07198]. 16 4 14 And I looked [07200], and rose up [06965], and said [0559] unto the nobles [02715], and to the rulers [05461], and to the rest [03499] of the people [05971], Be not ye afraid [03372] of them [06440]: remember [02142] the Lord [0136], which is great [01419] and terrible [03372], and fight [03898] for your brethren [0251], your sons [01121], and your daughters [01323], your wives [0802], and your houses [01004]. 16 4 15 And it came to pass, when our enemies [0341] heard [08085] that it was known [03045] unto us, and God [0430] had brought [06565] their counsel [06098] to nought [06565], that we returned [07725] all of us to the wall [02346], every one [0376] unto his work [04399]. 16 4 16 And it came to pass from that time [03117] forth, that the half [02677] of my servants [05288] wrought [06213] in the work [04399], and the other half [02677] of them held [02388] both the spears [07420], the shields [04043], and the bows [07198], and the habergeons [08302]; and the rulers [08269] were behind [0310] all the house [01004] of Judah [03063]. 16 4 17 They which builded [01129] on the wall [02346], and they that bare [05375] burdens [05447], with those that laded [06006], every one with one [0259] of his hands [03027] wrought [06213] in the work [04399], and with the other [0259] hand held [02388] a weapon [07973]. 16 4 18 For the builders [01129], every one [0376] had his sword [02719] girded [0631] by his side [04975], and so builded [01129]. And he that sounded [08628] the trumpet [07782] was by me [0681]. 16 4 19 And I said [0559] unto the nobles [02715], and to the rulers [05461], and to the rest [03499] of the people [05971], The work [04399] is great [07235] and large [07342], and we are separated [06504] upon the wall [02346], one [0376] far from [07350] another [0251]. 16 4 20 In what place [04725] therefore ye hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], resort [06908] ye thither unto us: our God [0430] shall fight [03898] for us. 16 4 21 So we laboured [06213] in the work [04399]: and half [02677] of them held [02388] the spears [07420] from the rising [05927] of the morning [07837] till the stars [03556] appeared [03318]. 16 4 22 Likewise at the same time [06256] said [0559] I unto the people [05971], Let every one [0376] with his servant [05288] lodge [03885] within [08432] Jerusalem [03389], that in the night [03915] they may be a guard [04929] to us, and labour [04399] on the day [03117]. 16 4 23 So neither I, nor my brethren [0251], nor my servants [05288], nor the men [0582] of the guard [04929] which followed [0310] me, none of us [0587] put off [06584] our clothes [0899], saving that every one [0376] put them off [07973] for washing [04325]. 16 5 1 And there was a great [01419] cry [06818] of the people [05971] and of their wives [0802] against their brethren [0251] the Jews [03064]. 16 5 2 For there were [03426] that said [0559], We, our sons [01121], and our daughters [01323], are many [07227]: therefore we take up [03947] corn [01715] for them, that we may eat [0398], and live [02421]. 16 5 3 Some also there were [03426] that said [0559], We have mortgaged [06148] our lands [07704], vineyards [03754], and houses [01004], that we might buy [03947] corn [01715], because of the dearth [07458]. 16 5 4 There were [03426] also that said [0559], We have borrowed [03867] money [03701] for the king's [04428] tribute [04060], and that upon our lands [07704] and vineyards [03754]. 16 5 5 Yet now our flesh [01320] is as the flesh [01320] of our brethren [0251], our children [01121] as their children [01121]: and, lo, we bring into bondage [03533] our sons [01121] and our daughters [01323] to be servants [05650], and some of our daughters [01323] are [03426] brought unto bondage [03533] already: neither is it in our power [0410] [03027] to redeem them; for other men [0312] have our lands [07704] and vineyards [03754]. 16 5 6 And I was very [03966] angry [02734] when I heard [08085] their cry [02201] and these words [01697]. 16 5 7 Then I consulted [04427] with myself [03820], and I rebuked [07378] the nobles [02715], and the rulers [05461], and said [0559] unto them, Ye exact [05378] [05383] [05375] usury [04855], every one [0376] of his brother [0251]. And I set [05414] a great [01419] assembly [06952] against them. 16 5 8 And I said [0559] unto them, We after our ability [01767] have redeemed [07069] our brethren [0251] the Jews [03064], which were sold [04376] unto the heathen [01471]; and will ye even sell [04376] your brethren [0251]? or shall they be sold [04376] unto us? Then held they their peace [02790], and found [04672] nothing [01697] to answer. 16 5 9 Also I said [0559], It is not good [02896] that [01697] ye do [06213]: ought ye not to walk [03212] in the fear [03374] of our God [0430] because of the reproach [02781] of the heathen [01471] our enemies [0341]? 16 5 10 I likewise, and my brethren [0251], and my servants [05288], might exact [05383] of them money [03701] and corn [01715]: I pray you, let us leave off [05800] this usury [04855]. 16 5 11 Restore [07725], I pray you, to them, even this day [03117], their lands [07704], their vineyards [03754], their oliveyards [02132], and their houses [01004], also the hundredth [03967] part of the money [03701], and of the corn [01715], the wine [08492], and the oil [03323], that ye exact [05383] of them. 16 5 12 Then said [0559] they, We will restore [07725] them, and will require [01245] nothing of them; so will we do [06213] as thou sayest [0559]. Then I called [07121] the priests [03548], and took an oath [07650] of them, that they should do [06213] according to this promise [01697]. 16 5 13 Also I shook [05287] my lap [02684], and said [0559], So God [0430] shake out [05287] every man [0376] from his house [01004], and from his labour [03018], that performeth [06965] not this promise [01697], even thus be he shaken out [05287], and emptied [07386]. And all the congregation [06951] said [0559], Amen [0543], and praised [01984] the LORD [03068]. And the people [05971] did [06213] according to this promise [01697]. 16 5 14 Moreover from the time [03117] that I was appointed [06680] to be their governor [06346] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063], from the twentieth [06242] year [08141] even unto the two [08147] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of Artaxerxes [0783] the king [04428], that is, twelve [08147] [06240] years [08141], I and my brethren [0251] have not eaten [0398] the bread [03899] of the governor [06346]. 16 5 15 But the former [07223] governors [06346] that had been before [06440] me were chargeable [03513] unto the people [05971], and had taken [03947] of them bread [03899] and wine [03196], beside [0310] forty [0705] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]; yea, even [01571] their servants [05288] bare rule [07980] over the people [05971]: but so did [06213] not I, because [06440] of the fear [03374] of God [0430]. 16 5 16 Yea, also I continued [02388] in the work [04399] of this wall [02346], neither bought [07069] we any land [07704]: and all my servants [05288] were gathered [06908] thither unto the work [04399]. 16 5 17 Moreover there were at my table [07979] an hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] [0376] of the Jews [03064] and rulers [05461], beside those that came [0935] unto us from among the heathen [01471] that are about us [05439]. 16 5 18 Now that which was prepared [06213] for me daily [03117] was one [0259] ox [07794] and six [08337] choice [01305] sheep [06629]; also fowls [06833] were prepared [06213] for me, and once in ten [06235] days [03117] store [07235] of all sorts of wine [03196]: yet for all [05973] this required [01245] not I the bread [03899] of the governor [06346], because the bondage [05656] was heavy [03513] upon this people [05971]. 16 5 19 Think [02142] upon me, my God [0430], for good [02896], according to all that I have done [06213] for this people [05971]. 16 6 1 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat [05571], and Tobiah [02900], and Geshem [01654] the Arabian [06163], and the rest [03499] of our enemies [0341], heard [08085] that I had builded [01129] the wall [02346], and that there was no breach [06556] left [03498] therein; (though [01571] [05704] at that time [06256] I had not set up [05975] the doors [01817] upon the gates [08179];) 16 6 2 That Sanballat [05571] and Geshem [01654] sent [07971] unto me, saying [0559], Come [03212], let us meet [03259] together [03162] in some one of the villages [03715] in the plain [01237] of Ono [0207]. But they thought [02803] to do [06213] me mischief [07451]. 16 6 3 And I sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto them, saying [0559], I am doing [06213] a great [01419] work [04399], so that I cannot [03201] come down [03381]: why should the work [04399] cease [07673], whilst [0834] I leave [07503] it, and come down [03381] to you? 16 6 4 Yet they sent [07971] unto me four [0702] times [06471] after this sort [01697]; and I answered [07725] them after the same manner [01697]. 16 6 5 Then sent [07971] Sanballat [05571] his servant [05288] unto me in like manner [01697] the fifth [02549] time [06471] with an open [06605] letter [0107] in his hand [03027]; 16 6 6 Wherein was written [03789], It is reported [08085] among the heathen [01471], and Gashmu [01654] saith [0559] it, that thou and the Jews [03064] think [02803] to rebel [04775]: for which cause [03651] thou buildest [01129] the wall [02346], that thou mayest be [01933] their king [04428], according to these words [01697]. 16 6 7 And thou hast also appointed [05975] prophets [05030] to preach [07121] of thee at Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], There is a king [04428] in Judah [03063]: and now shall it be reported [08085] to the king [04428] according to these words [01697]. Come [03212] now therefore, and let us take counsel [03289] together [03162]. 16 6 8 Then I sent [07971] unto him, saying [0559], There are [01961] no such things [01697] done [01961] as thou sayest [0559], but thou feignest [0908] them out of thine own heart [03820]. 16 6 9 For they all made us afraid [03372], saying [0559], Their hands [03027] shall be weakened [07503] from the work [04399], that it be not done [06213]. Now therefore, O God, strengthen [02388] my hands [03027]. 16 6 10 Afterward I came [0935] unto the house [01004] of Shemaiah [08098] the son [01121] of Delaiah [01806] the son [01121] of Mehetabeel [04105], who was shut up [06113]; and he said [0559], Let us meet together [03259] in the house [01004] of God [0430], within [08432] the temple [01964], and let us shut [05462] the doors [01817] of the temple [01964]: for they will come [0935] to slay [02026] thee; yea, in the night [03915] will they come [0935] to slay [02026] thee. 16 6 11 And I said [0559], Should such [03644] a man [0376] as I flee [01272]? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go [0935] into the temple [01964] to save his life [02425]? I will not go in [0935]. 16 6 12 And, lo, I perceived [05234] that God [0430] had not sent [07971] him; but that he pronounced [01696] this prophecy [05016] against me: for Tobiah [02900] and Sanballat [05571] had hired [07936] him. 16 6 13 Therefore was he hired [07936], that I should be afraid [03372], and do so [06213], and sin [02398], and that they might have matter for an evil [07451] report [08034], that they might reproach [02778] me. 16 6 14 My God [0430], think [02142] thou upon Tobiah [02900] and Sanballat [05571] according to these their works [04639], and on the prophetess [05031] Noadiah [05129], and the rest [03499] of the prophets [05030], that would have put me in fear [03372]. 16 6 15 So the wall [02346] was finished [07999] in the twenty [06242] and fifth [02568] day of the month Elul [0435], in fifty [02572] and two [08147] days [03117]. 16 6 16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies [0341] heard [08085] thereof, and all the heathen [01471] that were about us [05439] saw [07200] these things, they were much [03966] cast down [05307] in their own eyes [05869]: for they perceived [03045] that this work [04399] was wrought [06213] of our God [0430]. 16 6 17 Moreover in those days [03117] the nobles [02715] of Judah [03063] sent [01980] many [07235] letters [0107] unto Tobiah [02900], and the letters of Tobiah [02900] came [0935] unto them. 16 6 18 For there were many [07227] in Judah [03063] sworn [01167] [07621] unto him, because he was the son in law [02860] of Shechaniah [07935] the son [01121] of Arah [0733]; and his son [01121] Johanan [03076] had taken [03947] the daughter [01323] of Meshullam [04918] the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296]. 16 6 19 Also they reported [0559] his good deeds [02896] before [06440] me, and uttered [03318] my words [01697] to him. And Tobiah [02900] sent [07971] letters [0107] to put me in fear [03372]. 16 7 1 Now it came to pass, when the wall [02346] was built [01129], and I had set up [05975] the doors [01817], and the porters [07778] and the singers [07891] and the Levites [03881] were appointed [06485], 16 7 2 That I gave my brother [0251] Hanani [02607], and Hananiah [02608] the ruler [08269] of the palace [01002], charge [06680] over Jerusalem [03389]: for he was a faithful [0571] man [0376], and feared [03372] God [0430] above many [07227]. 16 7 3 And I said [0559] unto them, Let not the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] be opened [06605] until the sun [08121] be hot [02527]; and while they stand by [05975], let them shut [01479] the doors [01817], and bar [0270] them: and appoint [05975] watches [04931] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], every one [0376] in his watch [04929], and every one [0376] to be over against his house [01004]. 16 7 4 Now the city [05892] was large [07342] [03027] and great [01419]: but the people [05971] were few [04592] therein [08432], and the houses [01004] were not builded [01129]. 16 7 5 And my God [0430] put [05414] into mine heart [03820] to gather together [06908] the nobles [02715], and the rulers [05461], and the people [05971], that they might be reckoned by genealogy [03187]. And I found [04672] a register [05612] of the genealogy [03188] of them which came up [05927] at the first [07223], and found [04672] written [03789] therein, 16 7 6 These are the children [01121] of the province [04082], that went up [05927] out of the captivity [07628], of those that had been carried away [01473], whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had carried away [01540], and came again [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] and to Judah [03063], every one [0376] unto his city [05892]; 16 7 7 Who came [0935] with Zerubbabel [02216], Jeshua [03442], Nehemiah [05166], Azariah [05838], Raamiah [07485], Nahamani [05167], Mordecai [04782], Bilshan [01114], Mispereth [04559], Bigvai [0902], Nehum [05149], Baanah [01196]. The number [04557], I say, of the men [0582] of the people [05971] of Israel [03478] was this; 16 7 8 The children [01121] of Parosh [06551], two [08147] thousand [0505] an hundred [03967] seventy

[01121] of Koz [06976], the children [01121] of Barzillai [01271], which took [03947] one of the daughters [01323] of Barzillai [01271] the Gileadite [01569] to wife [0802], and was called [07121] after their name [08034]. 16 7 64 These sought [01245] their register [03791] among those that were reckoned by genealogy [03187], but it was not found [04672]: therefore were they, as polluted [01351], put from the priesthood [03550]. 16 7 65 And the Tirshatha [08660] said [0559] unto them, that they should not eat [0398] of the most [06944] holy things [06944], till there stood [05975] up a priest [03548] with Urim [0224] and Thummim [08550]. 16 7 66 The whole congregation [06951] together [0259] was forty [0702] [07239] and two thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and threescore [08346], 16 7 67 Beside their manservants [05650] and their maidservants [0519], of whom there were seven [07651] thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and seven [07651]: and they had two hundred [03967] forty [0705] and five [02568] singing men [07891] and singing women [07891]. 16 7 68 Their horses [05483], seven [07651] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and six [08337]: their mules [06505], two hundred [03967] forty [0705] and five [02568]: 16 7 69 Their camels [01581], four [0702] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and five [02568]: six [08337] thousand [0505] seven [07651] hundred [03967] and twenty [06242] asses [02543]. 16 7 70 And some of [07117] the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] gave [05414] unto the work [04399]. The Tirshatha [08660] gave [05414] to the treasure [0214] a thousand [0505] drams [01871] of gold [02091], fifty [02572] basons [04219], five [02568] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] priests [03548]' garments [03801]. 16 7 71 And some of the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] gave [05414] to the treasure [0214] of the work [04399] twenty [08147] thousand [07239] drams [01871] of gold [02091], and two thousand [0505] and two hundred [03967] pound [04488] of silver [03701]. 16 7 72 And that which the rest [07611] of the people [05971] gave [05414] was twenty [08147] thousand [07239] drams [01871] of gold [02091], and two thousand [0505] pound [04488] of silver [03701], and threescore [08346] and seven [07651] priests [03548]' garments [03801]. 16 7 73 So the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], and the porters [07778], and the singers [07891], and some of the people [05971], and the Nethinims [05411], and all Israel [03478], dwelt [03427] in their cities [05892]; and when the seventh [07637] month [02320] came [05060], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were in their cities [05892]. 16 8 1 And all the people [05971] gathered themselves together [0622] as one [0259] man [0376] into the street [07339] that was before [06440] the water [04325] gate [08179]; and they spake [0559] unto Ezra [05830] the scribe [05608] to bring [0935] the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] to Israel [03478]. 16 8 2 And Ezra [05830] the priest [03548] brought [0935] the law [08451] before [06440] the congregation [06951] both of men [0376] and women [0802], and all that could hear [08085] with understanding [0995], upon the first [0259] day [03117] of the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 16 8 3 And he read [07121] therein before [06440] the street [07339] that was before [06440] the water [04325] gate [08179] from the morning [0216] until midday [04276] [03117], before the men [0582] and the women [0802], and those that could understand [0995]; and the ears [0241] of all the people [05971] were attentive unto the book [05612] of the law [08451]. 16 8 4 And Ezra [05830] the scribe [05608] stood [05975] upon a pulpit [04026] of wood [06086], which they had made [06213] for the purpose [01697]; and beside [0681] him stood [05975] Mattithiah [04993], and Shema [08087], and Anaiah [06043], and Urijah [0223], and Hilkiah [02518], and Maaseiah [04641], on his right hand [03225]; and on his left hand [08040], Pedaiah [06305], and Mishael [04332], and Malchiah [04441], and Hashum [02828], and Hashbadana [02806], Zechariah [02148], and Meshullam [04918]. 16 8 5 And Ezra [05830] opened [06605] the book [05612] in the sight [05869] of all the people [05971]; (for he was above all the people [05971];) and when he opened [06605] it, all the people [05971] stood up [05975]: 16 8 6 And Ezra [05830] blessed [01288] the LORD [03068], the great [01419] God [0430]. And all the people [05971] answered [06030], Amen [0543], Amen [0543], with lifting up [04607] their hands [03027]: and they bowed [06915] their heads, and worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068] with their faces [0639] to the ground [0776]. 16 8 7 Also Jeshua [03442], and Bani [01137], and Sherebiah [08274], Jamin [03226], Akkub [06126], Shabbethai [07678], Hodijah [01941], Maaseiah [04641], Kelita [07042], Azariah [05838], Jozabad [03107], Hanan [02605], Pelaiah [06411], and the Levites [03881], caused the people [05971] to understand [0995] the law [08451]: and the people [05971] stood in their place [05977]. 16 8 8 So they read [07121] in the book [05612] in the law [08451] of God [0430] distinctly [06567], and gave [07760] the sense [07922], and caused them to understand [0995] the reading [04744]. 16 8 9 And Nehemiah [05166], which is the Tirshatha [08660], and Ezra [05830] the priest [03548] the scribe [05608], and the Levites [03881] that taught [0995] the people [05971], said [0559] unto all the people [05971], This day [03117] is holy [06918] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; mourn [056] not, nor weep [01058]. For all the people [05971] wept [01058], when they heard [08085] the words [01697] of the law [08451]. 16 8 10 Then he said [0559] unto them, Go your way [03212], eat [0398] the fat [04924], and drink [08354] the sweet [04477], and send [07971] portions [04490] unto them for whom nothing is prepared [03559]: for this day [03117] is holy [06918] unto our Lord [0113]: neither be ye sorry [06087]; for the joy [02304] of the LORD [03068] is your strength [04581]. 16 8 11 So the Levites [03881] stilled [02814] all the people [05971], saying [0559], Hold your peace [02013], for the day [03117] is holy [06918]; neither be ye grieved [06087]. 16 8 12 And all the people [05971] went their way [03212] to eat [0398], and to drink [08354], and to send [07971] portions [04490], and to make [06213] great [01419] mirth [08057], because they had understood [0995] the words [01697] that were declared [03045] unto them. 16 8 13 And on the second [08145] day [03117] were gathered together [0622] the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of all the people [05971], the priests [03548], and the Levites [03881], unto Ezra [05830] the scribe [05608], even to understand [07919] the words [01697] of the law [08451]. 16 8 14 And they found [04672] written [03789] in the law [08451] which the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] by [03027] Moses [04872], that the children [01121] of Israel [03478] should dwell [03427] in booths [05521] in the feast [02282] of the seventh [07637] month [02320]: 16 8 15 And that they should publish [08085] and proclaim [05674] [06963] in all their cities [05892], and in Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Go forth [03318] unto the mount [02022], and fetch [0935] olive [02132] branches [05929], and pine [08081] branches [06086] [05929], and myrtle [01918] branches [05929], and palm [08558] branches [05929], and branches [05929] of thick [05687] trees [06086], to make [06213] booths [05521], as it is written [03789]. 16 8 16 So the people [05971] went forth [03318], and brought [0935] them, and made [06213] themselves booths [05521], every one [0376] upon the roof of his house [01406], and in their courts [02691], and in the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of God [0430], and in the street [07339] of the water [04325] gate [08179], and in the street [07339] of the gate [08179] of Ephraim [0669]. 16 8 17 And all the congregation [06951] of them that were come again [07725] out of the captivity [07628] made [06213] booths [05521], and sat [03427] under the booths [05521]: for since the days [03117] of Jeshua [03442] the son [01121] of Nun [05126] unto that day [03117] had not the children [01121] of Israel [03478] done so [06213]. And there was very [03966] great [01419] gladness [08057]. 16 8 18 Also day [03117] by day [03117], from the first [07223] day [03117] unto the last [0314] day [03117], he read [07121] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of God [0430]. And they kept [06213] the feast [02282] seven [07651] days [03117]; and on the eighth [08066] day [03117] was a solemn assembly [06116], according unto the manner [04941]. 16 9 1 Now in the twenty [06242] and fourth [0702] day [03117] of this month [02320] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] were assembled [0622] with fasting [06685], and with sackclothes [08242], and earth [0127] upon them. 16 9 2 And the seed [02233] of Israel [03478] separated [0914] themselves from all strangers [01121] [05236], and stood [05975] and confessed [03034] their sins [02403], and the iniquities [05771] of their fathers [01]. 16 9 3 And they stood up [06965] in their place [05977], and read [07121] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430] one fourth part [07243] of the day [03117]; and another fourth part [07243] they confessed [03034], and worshipped [07812] the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 16 9 4 Then stood up [06965] upon the stairs [04608], of the Levites [03881], Jeshua [03442], and Bani [01137], Kadmiel [06934], Shebaniah [07645], Bunni [01138], Sherebiah [08274], Bani [01137], and Chenani [03662], and cried [02199] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] unto the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 16 9 5 Then the Levites [03881], Jeshua [03442], and Kadmiel [06934], Bani [01137], Hashabniah [02813], Sherebiah [08274], Hodijah [01941], Shebaniah [07645], and Pethahiah [06611], said [0559], Stand up [06965] and bless [01288] the LORD [03068] your God [0430] for ever [05769] and ever [05769]: and blessed [01288] be thy glorious [03519] name [08034], which is exalted [07311] above all blessing [01293] and praise [08416]. 16 9 6 Thou, even thou, art LORD [03068] alone; thou hast made [06213] heaven [08064], the heaven [08064] of heavens [08064], with all their host [06635], the earth [0776], and all things that are therein, the seas [03220], and all that is therein, and thou preservest [02421] them all; and the host [06635] of heaven [08064] worshippeth [07812] thee. 16 9 7 Thou art the LORD [03068] the God [0430], who didst choose [0977] Abram [087], and broughtest him forth [03318] out of Ur [0218] of the Chaldees [03778], and gavest [07760] him the name [08034] of Abraham [085]; 16 9 8 And foundest [04672] his heart [03824] faithful [0539] before [06440] thee, and madest [03772] a covenant [01285] with him to give [05414] the land [0776] of the Canaanites [03669], the Hittites [02850], the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Jebusites [02983], and the Girgashites [01622], to give [05414] it, I say, to his seed [02233], and hast performed [06965] thy words [01697]; for thou art righteous [06662]: 16 9 9 And didst see [07200] the affliction [06040] of our fathers [01] in Egypt [04714], and heardest [08085] their cry [02201] by the Red [05488] sea [03220]; 16 9 10 And shewedst [05414] signs [0226] and wonders [04159] upon Pharaoh [06547], and on all his servants [05650], and on all the people [05971] of his land [0776]: for thou knewest [03045] that they dealt proudly [02102] against them. So didst thou get [06213] thee a name [08034], as it is this day [03117]. 16 9 11 And thou didst divide [01234] the sea [03220] before [06440] them, so that they went through [05674] the midst [08432] of the sea [03220] on the dry land [03004]; and their persecutors [07291] thou threwest [07993] into the deeps [04688], as a stone [068] into the mighty [05794] waters [04325]. 16 9 12 Moreover thou leddest [05148] them in the day [03119] by a cloudy [06051] pillar [05982]; and in the night [03915] by a pillar [05982] of fire [0784], to give them light [0215] in the way [01870] wherein they should go [03212]. 16 9 13 Thou camest down [03381] also upon mount [02022] Sinai [05514], and spakest [01696] with them from heaven [08064], and gavest [05414] them right [03477] judgments [04941], and true [0571] laws [08451], good [02896] statutes [02706] and commandments [04687]: 16 9 14 And madest known [03045] unto them thy holy [06944] sabbath [07676], and commandedst [06680] them precepts [04687], statutes [02706], and laws [08451], by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] thy servant [05650]: 16 9 15 And gavest [05414] them bread [03899] from heaven [08064] for their hunger [07458], and broughtest forth [03318] water [04325] for them out of the rock [05553] for their thirst [06772], and promisedst [0559] them that they should go in [0935] to possess [03423] the land [0776] which thou hadst sworn [03027] [05375] to give [05414] them. 16 9 16 But they and our fathers [01] dealt proudly [02102], and hardened [07185] their necks [06203], and hearkened [08085] not to thy commandments [04687], 16 9 17 And refused [03985] to obey [08085], neither were mindful [02142] of thy wonders [06381] that thou didst [06213] among them; but hardened [07185] their necks [06203], and in their rebellion [04805] appointed [05414] a captain [07218] to return [07725] to their bondage [05659]: but thou art a God [0433] ready to pardon [05547], gracious [02587] and merciful [07349], slow [0750] to anger [0639], and of great [07227] kindness [02617], and forsookest [05800] them not. 16 9 18 Yea, when they had made [06213] them a molten [04541] calf [05695], and said [0559], This is thy God [0430] that brought thee up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], and had wrought [06213] great [01419] provocations [05007]; 16 9 19 Yet thou in thy manifold [07227] mercies [07356] forsookest [05800] them not in the wilderness [04057]: the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051] departed [05493] not from them by day [03119], to lead [05148] them in the way [01870]; neither the pillar [05982] of fire [0784] by night [03915], to shew them light [0215], and the way [01870] wherein they should go [03212]. 16 9 20 Thou gavest [05414] also thy good [02896] spirit [07307] to instruct [07919] them, and withheldest [04513] not thy manna [04478] from their mouth [06310], and gavest [05414] them water [04325] for their thirst [06772]. 16 9 21 Yea, forty [0705] years [08141] didst thou sustain [03557] them in the wilderness [04057], so that they lacked [02637] nothing; their clothes [08008] waxed not old [01086], and their feet [07272] swelled [01216] not. 16 9 22 Moreover thou gavest [05414] them kingdoms [04467] and nations [05971], and didst divide [02505] them into corners [06285]: so they possessed [03423] the land [0776] of Sihon [05511], and the land [0776] of the king [04428] of Heshbon [02809], and the land [0776] of Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316]. 16 9 23 Their children [01121] also multipliedst [07235] thou as the stars [03556] of heaven [08064], and broughtest [0935] them into the land [0776], concerning which thou hadst promised [0559] to their fathers [01], that they should go in [0935] to possess [03423] it. 16 9 24 So the children [01121] went in [0935] and possessed [03423] the land [0776], and thou subduedst [03665] before [06440] them the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], the Canaanites [03669], and gavest [05414] them into their hands [03027], with their kings [04428], and the people [05971] of the land [0776], that they might do [06213] with them as they would [07522]. 16 9 25 And they took [03920] strong [01219] cities [05892], and a fat [08082] land [0127], and possessed [03423] houses [01004] full [04392] of all goods [02898], wells [0953] digged [02672], vineyards [03754], and oliveyards [02132], and fruit [03978] trees [06086] in abundance [07230]: so they did eat [0398], and were filled [07646], and became fat [08080], and delighted [05727] themselves in thy great [01419] goodness [02898]. 16 9 26 Nevertheless they were disobedient [04784], and rebelled [04775] against thee, and cast [07993] thy law [08451] behind [0310] their backs [01458], and slew [02026] thy prophets [05030] which testified [05749] against them to turn [07725] them to thee, and they wrought [06213] great [01419] provocations [05007]. 16 9 27 Therefore thou deliveredst [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [06862], who vexed [06887] them: and in the time [06256] of their trouble [06869], when they cried [06817] unto thee, thou heardest [08085] them from heaven [08064]; and according to thy manifold [07227] mercies [07356] thou gavest [05414] them saviours [03467], who saved [03467] them out of the hand [03027] of their enemies [06862]. 16 9 28 But after they had rest [05117], they did [06213] evil [07451] again [07725] before [06440] thee: therefore leftest [05800] thou them in the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], so that they had the dominion [07287] over them: yet when they returned [07725], and cried [02199] unto thee, thou heardest [08085] them from heaven [08064]; and many [07227] times [06256] didst thou deliver [05337] them according to thy mercies [07356]; 16 9 29 And testifiedst [05749] against them, that thou mightest bring them again [07725] unto thy law [08451]: yet they dealt proudly [02102], and hearkened [08085] not unto thy commandments [04687], but sinned [02398] against thy judgments [04941], (which if a man [0120] do [06213], he shall live [02421] in them;) and withdrew [05414] [05637] the shoulder [03802], and hardened [07185] their neck [06203], and would not hear [08085]. 16 9 30 Yet many [07227] years [08141] didst thou forbear [04900] them, and testifiedst [05749] against them by thy spirit [07307] in [03027] thy prophets [05030]: yet would they not give ear [0238]: therefore gavest [05414] thou them into the hand [03027] of the people [05971] of the lands [0776]. 16 9 31 Nevertheless for thy great [07227] mercies [07356]' sake thou didst [06213] not utterly consume [03617] them, nor forsake [05800] them; for thou art a gracious [02587] and merciful [07349] God [0410]. 16 9 32 Now therefore, our God [0430], the great [01419], the mighty [01368], and the terrible [03372] God [0410], who keepest [08104] covenant [01285] and mercy [02617], let not all the trouble [08513] seem little [04591] before [06440] thee, that hath come [04672] upon us, on our kings [04428], on our princes [08269], and on our priests [03548], and on our prophets [05030], and on our fathers [01], and on all thy people [05971], since the time [03117] of the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] unto this day [03117]. 16 9 33 Howbeit thou art just [06662] in all that is brought [0935] upon us; for thou hast done [06213] right [0571], but we have done wickedly [07561]: 16 9 34 Neither have our kings [04428], our princes [08269], our priests [03548], nor our fathers [01], kept [06213] thy law [08451], nor hearkened [07181] unto thy commandments [04687] and thy testimonies [05715], wherewith thou didst testify [05749] against them. 16 9 35 For they have not served [05647] thee in their kingdom [04438], and in thy great [07227] goodness [02898] that thou gavest [05414] them, and in the large [07342] and fat [08082] land [0776] which thou gavest [05414] before [06440] them, neither turned [07725] they from their wicked [07451] works [04611]. 16 9 36 Behold, we are servants [05650] this day [03117], and for the land [0776] that thou gavest [05414] unto our fathers [01] to eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof and the good [02898] thereof, behold, we are servants [05650] in it: 16 9 37 And it yieldeth much [07235] increase [08393] unto the kings [04428] whom thou hast set [05414] over us because of our sins [02403]: also they have dominion [04910] over our bodies [01472], and over our cattle [0929], at their pleasure [07522], and we are in great [01419] distress [06869]. 16 9 38 And because of all this we make [03772] a sure [0548] covenant, and write [03789] it; and our princes [08269], Levites [03881], and priests [03548], seal [02856] unto it. 16 10 1 Now those that sealed [02856] were, Nehemiah [05166], the Tirshatha [08660], the son [01121] of Hachaliah [02446], and Zidkijah [06667], 16 10 2 Seraiah [08304], Azariah [05838], Jeremiah [03414], 16 10 3 Pashur [06583], Amariah [0568], Malchijah [04441], 16 10 4 Hattush [02407], Shebaniah [07645], Malluch [04409], 16 10 5 Harim [02766], Meremoth [04822], Obadiah [05662], 16 10 6 Daniel [01840], Ginnethon [01599], Baruch [01263], 16 10 7 Meshullam [04918], Abijah [029], Mijamin [04326], 16 10 8 Maaziah [04590], Bilgai [01084], Shemaiah [08098]: these were the priests [03548]. 16 10 9 And the Levites [03881]: both Jeshua [03442] the son [01121] of Azaniah [0245], Binnui [01131] of the sons [01121] of Henadad [02582], Kadmiel [06934];

16 10 29 They clave [02388] to their brethren [0251], their nobles [0117], and entered [0935] into a curse [0423], and into an oath [07621], to walk [03212] in God's [0430] law [08451], which was given [05414] by [03027] Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430], and to observe [08104] and do [06213] all the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] our Lord [0113], and his judgments [04941] and his statutes [02706]; 16 10 30 And that we would not give [05414] our daughters [01323] unto the people [05971] of the land [0776], nor take [03947] their daughters [01323] for our sons [01121]: 16 10 31 And if the people [05971] of the land [0776] bring [0935] ware [04728] or any victuals [07668] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117] to sell [04376], that we would not buy [03947] it of them on the sabbath [07676], or on the holy [06944] day [03117]: and that we would leave [05203] the seventh [07637] year [08141], and the exaction [04853] of every debt [03027]. 16 10 32 Also we made [05975] ordinances [04687] for us, to charge [05414] ourselves yearly [08141] with the third part [07992] of a shekel [08255] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of our God [0430];

16 12 39 And from above the gate [08179] of Ephraim [0669], and above the old [03465] gate [08179], and above the fish [01709] gate [08179], and the tower [04026] of Hananeel [02606], and the tower [04026] of Meah [03968], even unto the sheep [06629] gate [08179]: and they stood still [05975] in the prison [04307] gate [08179]. 16 12 40 So stood [05975] the two [08147] companies of them that gave thanks [08426] in the house [01004] of God [0430], and I, and the half [02677] of the rulers [05461] with me: 16 12 41 And the priests [03548]; Eliakim [0471], Maaseiah [04641], Miniamin [04509], Michaiah [04320], Elioenai [0454], Zechariah [02148], and Hananiah [02608], with trumpets [02689]; 16 12 42 And Maaseiah [04641], and Shemaiah [08098], and Eleazar [0499], and Uzzi [05813], and Jehohanan [03076], and Malchijah [04441], and Elam [05867], and Ezer [05829]. And the singers [07891] sang loud [08085], with Jezrahiah [03156] their overseer [06496]. 16 12 43 Also that day [03117] they offered [02076] great [01419] sacrifices [02077], and rejoiced [08055]: for God [0430] had made them rejoice [08055] with great [01419] joy [08057]: the wives [0802] also and the children [03206] rejoiced [08055]: so that the joy [08057] of Jerusalem [03389] was heard [08085] even afar off [07350]. 16 12 44 And at that time [03117] were some [0582] appointed [06485] over the chambers [05393] for the treasures [0214], for the offerings [08641], for the firstfruits [07225], and for the tithes [04643], to gather [03664] into them out of the fields [07704] of the cities [05892] the portions [04521] of the law [08451] for the priests [03548] and Levites [03881]: for Judah [03063] rejoiced [08057] for the priests [03548] and for the Levites [03881] that waited [05975]. 16 12 45 And both the singers [07891] and the porters [07778] kept [08104] the ward [04931] of their God [0430], and the ward [04931] of the purification [02893], according to the commandment [04687] of David [01732], and of Solomon [08010] his son [01121]. 16 12 46 For in the days [03117] of David [01732] and Asaph [0623] of old [06924] there were chief [07218] of the singers [07891], and songs [07892] of praise [08416] and thanksgiving [03034] unto God [0430]. 16 12 47 And all Israel [03478] in the days [03117] of Zerubbabel [02216], and in the days [03117] of Nehemiah [05166], gave [05414] the portions [04521] of the singers [07891] and the porters [07778], every day [03117] his portion [01697]: and they sanctified [06942] holy things unto the Levites [03881]; and the Levites [03881] sanctified [06942] them unto the children [01121] of Aaron [0175]. 16 13 1 On that day [03117] they read [07121] in the book [05612] of Moses [04872] in the audience [0241] of the people [05971]; and therein was found [04672] written [03789], that the Ammonite [05984] and the Moabite [04125] should not come [0935] into the congregation [06951] of God [0430] for [05704] ever [05769]; 16 13 2 Because they met [06923] not the children [01121] of Israel [03478] with bread [03899] and with water [04325], but hired [07936] Balaam [01109] against them, that he should curse [07043] them: howbeit our God [0430] turned [02015] the curse [07045] into a blessing [01293]. 16 13 3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard [08085] the law [08451], that they separated [0914] from Israel [03478] all the mixed multitude [06154]. 16 13 4 And before [06440] this, Eliashib [0475] the priest [03548], having the oversight [05414] of the chamber [03957] of the house [01004] of our God [0430], was allied [07138] unto Tobiah [02900]: 16 13 5 And he had prepared [06213] for him a great [01419] chamber [03957], where aforetime [06440] they laid [05414] the meat offerings [04503], the frankincense [03828], and the vessels [03627], and the tithes [04643] of the corn [01715], the new wine [08492], and the oil [03323], which was commanded [04687] to be given to the Levites [03881], and the singers [07891], and the porters [07778]; and the offerings [08641] of the priests [03548]. 16 13 6 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem [03389]: for in the two [08147] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of Artaxerxes [0783] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came [0935] I unto the king [04428], and after [07093] certain days [03117] obtained I leave [07592] of the king [04428]: 16 13 7 And I came [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and understood [0995] of the evil [07451] that Eliashib [0475] did [06213] for Tobiah [02900], in preparing [06213] him a chamber [05393] in the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of God [0430]. 16 13 8 And it grieved [03415] me sore [03966]: therefore I cast forth [07993] all the household [01004] stuff [03627] of Tobiah [02900] out of [02351] the chamber [03957]. 16 13 9 Then I commanded [0559], and they cleansed [02891] the chambers [03957]: and thither brought I again [07725] the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430], with the meat offering [04503] and the frankincense [03828]. 16 13 10 And I perceived [03045] that the portions [04521] of the Levites [03881] had not been given [05414] them: for the Levites [03881] and the singers [07891], that did [06213] the work [04399], were fled [01272] every one [0376] to his field [07704]. 16 13 11 Then contended [07378] I with the rulers [05461], and said [0559], Why is the house [01004] of God [0430] forsaken [05800]? And I gathered them together [06908], and set [05975] them in their place [05977]. 16 13 12 Then brought [0935] all Judah [03063] the tithe [04643] of the corn [01715] and the new wine [08492] and the oil [03323] unto the treasuries [0214]. 16 13 13 And I made treasurers [0686] over the treasuries [0214], Shelemiah [08018] the priest [03548], and Zadok [06659] the scribe [05608], and of the Levites [03881], Pedaiah [06305]: and next to them [03027] was Hanan [02605] the son [01121] of Zaccur [02139], the son [01121] of Mattaniah [04983]: for they were counted [02803] faithful [0539], and their office was to distribute [02505] unto their brethren [0251]. 16 13 14 Remember [02142] me, O my God [0430], concerning this, and wipe not out [04229] my good [02617] deeds that I have done [06213] for the house [01004] of my God [0430], and for the offices [04929] thereof. 16 13 15 In those days [03117] saw [07200] I in Judah [03063] some treading [01869] wine presses [01660] on the sabbath [07676], and bringing in [0935] sheaves [06194], and lading [06006] asses [02543]; as also wine [03196], grapes [06025], and figs [08384], and all manner of burdens [04853], which they brought [0935] into Jerusalem [03389] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117]: and I testified [05749] against them in the day [03117] wherein they sold [04376] victuals [06718]. 16 13 16 There dwelt [03427] men of Tyre [06876] also therein, which brought [0935] fish [01709] [01709], and all manner of ware [04377], and sold [04376] on the sabbath [07676] unto the children [01121] of Judah [03063], and in Jerusalem [03389]. 16 13 17 Then I contended [07378] with the nobles [02715] of Judah [03063], and said [0559] unto them, What evil [07451] thing [01697] is this that ye do [06213], and profane [02490] the sabbath [07676] day [03117]? 16 13 18 Did [06213] not your fathers [01] thus, and did [0935] not our God [0430] bring [0935] all this evil [07451] upon us, and upon this city [05892]? yet ye bring [0935] more [03254] wrath [02740] upon Israel [03478] by profaning [02490] the sabbath [07676]. 16 13 19 And it came to pass, that when the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] began to be dark [06751] before [06440] the sabbath [07676], I commanded [0559] that the gates [01817] should be shut [05462], and charged [0559] that they should not be opened [06605] till after [0310] the sabbath [07676]: and some of my servants [05288] set [05975] I at the gates [08179], that there should no burden [04853] be brought in [0935] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. 16 13 20 So the merchants [07402] and sellers [04376] of all kind of ware [04465] lodged [03885] without [02351] Jerusalem [03389] once [06471] or twice [08147]. 16 13 21 Then I testified [05749] against them, and said [0559] unto them, Why lodge [03885] ye about [05048] the wall [02346]? if ye do so again [08138], I will lay [07971] hands [03027] on you. From that time [06256] forth came [0935] they no more on the sabbath [07676]. 16 13 22 And I commanded [0559] the Levites [03881] that they should cleanse [02891] themselves, and that they should come [0935] and keep [08104] the gates [08179], to sanctify [06942] the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. Remember [02142] me, O my God [0430], concerning this also, and spare [02347] me according to the greatness [07230] of thy mercy [02617]. 16 13 23 In those days [03117] also saw [07200] I Jews [03064] that had married [03427] wives [0802] of Ashdod [0796], of Ammon [05984], and of Moab [04125]: 16 13 24 And their children [01121] spake [01696] half [02677] in the speech of Ashdod [0797], and could [05234] not speak [01696] in the Jews' language [03066], but according to the language [03956] of each [05971] people [05971]. 16 13 25 And I contended [07378] with them, and cursed [07043] them, and smote [05221] certain [0582] of them, and plucked off their hair [04803], and made them swear [07650] by God [0430], saying, Ye shall not give [05414] your daughters [01323] unto their sons [01121], nor take [05375] their daughters [01323] unto your sons [01121], or for yourselves. 16 13 26 Did not Solomon [08010] king [04428] of Israel [03478] sin [02398] by these things? yet among many [07227] nations [01471] was there no king [04428] like him, who was beloved [0157] of his God [0430], and God [0430] made [05414] him king [04428] over all Israel [03478]: nevertheless even him [01571] did outlandish [05237] women [0802] cause to sin [02398]. 16 13 27 Shall we then hearken [08085] unto you to do [06213] all this great [01419] evil [07451], to transgress [04603] against our God [0430] in marrying [03427] strange [05237] wives [0802]? 16 13 28 And one of the sons [01121] of Joiada [03111], the son [01121] of Eliashib [0475] the high [01419] priest [03548], was son in law [02860] to Sanballat [05571] the Horonite [02772]: therefore I chased [01272] him from me. 16 13 29 Remember [02142] them, O my God [0430], because they have defiled [01352] the priesthood [03550], and the covenant [01285] of the priesthood [03550], and of the Levites [03881]. 16 13 30 Thus cleansed [02891] I them from all strangers [05236], and appointed [05975] the wards [04931] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], every one [0376] in his business [04399]; 16 13 31 And for the wood [06086] offering [07133], at times [06256] appointed [02163], and for the firstfruits [01061]. Remember [02142] me, O my God [0430], for good [02896]. 17 1 1 Now it came to pass in the days [03117] of Ahasuerus [0325], (this is Ahasuerus [0325] which reigned [04427], from India [01912] even unto Ethiopia [03568], over an hundred [03967] and seven [07651] and twenty [06242] provinces [04082]:) 17 1 2 That in those days [03117], when the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] sat [03427] on the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04438], which was in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], 17 1 3 In the third [07969] year [08141] of his reign [04427], he made [06213] a feast [04960] unto all his princes [08269] and his servants [05650]; the power [02428] of Persia [06539] and Media [04074], the nobles [06579] and princes [08269] of the provinces [04082], being before [06440] him: 17 1 4 When he shewed [07200] the riches [06239] of his glorious [03519] kingdom [04438] and the honour [03366] of his excellent [08597] majesty [01420] many [07227] days [03117], even an hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] days [03117]. 17 1 5 And when these days [03117] were expired [04390], the king [04428] made [06213] a feast [04960] unto all the people [05971] that were present [04672] in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], both unto great [01419] and small [06996], seven [07651] days [03117], in the court [02691] of the garden [01594] of the king's [04428] palace [01055]; 17 1 6 Where were white [02353], green [03768], and blue [08504], hangings, fastened [0270] with cords [02256] of fine linen [0948] and purple [0713] to silver [03701] rings [01550] and pillars [05982] of marble [08336]: the beds [04296] were of gold [02091] and silver [03701], upon a pavement [07531] of red [0923], and blue [08504], and white [01858], and black [05508], marble [08336]. 17 1 7 And they gave them drink [08248] in vessels [03627] of gold [02091], (the vessels [03627] being diverse [08138] one from another [03627],) and royal [04438] wine [03196] in abundance [07227], according to the state [03027] of the king [04428]. 17 1 8 And the drinking [08360] was according to the law [01881]; none did compel [0597]: for so the king [04428] had appointed [03245] to all the officers [07227] of his house [01004], that they should do [06213] according to every man's [0376] pleasure [07522]. 17 1 9 Also Vashti [02060] the queen [04436] made [06213] a feast [04960] for the women [0802] in the royal [04438] house [01004] which belonged to king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]. 17 1 10 On the seventh [07637] day [03117], when the heart [03820] of the king [04428] was merry [02896] with wine [03196], he commanded [0559] Mehuman [04104], Biztha [0968], Harbona [02726], Bigtha [0903], and Abagtha [05], Zethar [02242], and Carcas [03752], the seven [07651] chamberlains [05631] that served [08334] in the presence [06440] of Ahasuerus [0325] the king [04428], 17 1 11 To bring [0935] Vashti [02060] the queen [04436] before [06440] the king [04428] with the crown [03804] royal [04438], to shew [07200] the people [05971] and the princes [08269] her beauty [03308]: for she was fair [02896] to look on [04758]. 17 1 12 But the queen [04436] Vashti [02060] refused [03985] to come [0935] at the king's [04428] commandment [01697] by [03027] his chamberlains [05631]: therefore was the king [04428] very [03966] wroth [07107], and his anger [02534] burned [01197] in him. 17 1 13 Then the king [04428] said [0559] to the wise men [02450], which knew [03045] the times [06256], (for so was the king's [04428] manner [01697] toward [06440] all that knew [03045] law [01881] and judgment [01779]: 17 1 14 And the next [07138] unto him was Carshena [03771], Shethar [08369], Admatha [0133], Tarshish [08659], Meres [04825], Marsena [04826], and Memucan [04462], the seven [07651] princes [08269] of Persia [06539] and Media [04074], which saw [07200] the king's [04428] face [06440], and which sat [03427] the first [07223] in the kingdom [04438];) 17 1 15 What shall we do [06213] unto the queen [04436] Vashti [02060] according to law [01881], because she hath not performed [06213] the commandment [03982] of the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] by [03027] the chamberlains [05631]? 17 1 16 And Memucan [04462] answered [0559] before [06440] the king [04428] and the princes [08269], Vashti [02060] the queen [04436] hath not done wrong [05753] to the king [04428] only, but also to all the princes [08269], and to all the people [05971] that are in all the provinces [04082] of the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]. 17 1 17 For this deed [01697] of the queen [04436] shall come abroad [03318] unto all women [0802], so that they shall despise [0959] their husbands [01167] in their eyes [05869], when it shall be reported [0559], The king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] commanded [0559] Vashti [02060] the queen [04436] to be brought in [0935] before [06440] him, but she came [0935] not. 17 1 18 Likewise shall the ladies [08282] of Persia [06539] and Media [04074] say [0559] this day [03117] unto all the king's [04428] princes [08269], which have heard [08085] of the deed [01697] of the queen [04436]. Thus shall there arise too much [01767] contempt [0963] and wrath [07110]. 17 1 19 If it please [02895] the king [04428], let there go [03318] a royal [04438] commandment [01697] from him [06440], and let it be written [03789] among the laws [01881] of the Persians [06539] and the Medes [04074], that it be not altered [05674], That Vashti [02060] come [0935] no more before [06440] king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]; and let the king [04428] give [05414] her royal estate [04438] unto another [07468] that is better [02896] than she. 17 1 20 And when the king's [04428] decree [06599] which he shall make [06213] shall be published [08085] throughout all his empire [04438], (for it is great [07227],) all the wives [0802] shall give [05414] to their husbands [01167] honour [03366], both to great [01419] and small [06996]. 17 1 21 And the saying [01697] pleased [03190] [05869] the king [04428] and the princes [08269]; and the king [04428] did [06213] according to the word [01697] of Memucan [04462]: 17 1 22 For he sent [07971] letters [05612] into all the king's [04428] provinces [04082], into every province [04082] according to the writing [03791] thereof, and to every people [05971] after their language [03956], that every man [0376] should bear rule [08323] in his own house [01004], and that it should be published [01696] according to the language [03956] of every people [05971]. 17 2 1 After [0310] these things [01697], when the wrath [02534] of king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] was appeased [07918], he remembered [02142] Vashti [02060], and what she had done [06213], and what was decreed [01504] against her. 17 2 2 Then said [0559] the king's [04428] servants [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, Let there be fair [02896] [04758] young [05291] virgins [01330] sought [01245] for the king [04428]: 17 2 3 And let the king [04428] appoint [06485] officers [06496] in all the provinces [04082] of his kingdom [04438], that they may gather together [06908] all the fair [02896] [04758] young [05291] virgins [01330] unto Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], to the house [01004] of the women [0802], unto the custody [03027] of Hege [01896] the king's [04428] chamberlain [05631], keeper [08104] of the women [0802]; and let their things for purification [08562] be given [05414] them: 17 2 4 And let the maiden [05291] which pleaseth [03190] [05869] the king [04428] be queen [04427] instead of Vashti [02060]. And the thing [01697] pleased [03190] [05869] the king [04428]; and he did so [06213]. 17 2 5 Now in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002] there was a certain [0376] Jew [03064], whose name [08034] was Mordecai [04782], the son [01121] of Jair [02971], the son [01121] of Shimei [08096], the son [01121] of Kish [07027], a Benjamite [01145]; 17 2 6 Who had been carried away [01540] from Jerusalem [03389] with the captivity [01473] which had been carried away [01540] with Jeconiah [03204] king [04428] of Judah [03063], whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had carried away [01540]. 17 2 7 And he brought up [0539] Hadassah [01919], that is, Esther [0635], his uncle's [01730] daughter [01323]: for she had neither father [01] nor mother [0517], and the maid [05291] was fair [03303] [08389] and beautiful [02896] [04758]; whom Mordecai [04782], when her father [01] and mother [0517] were dead [04194], took [03947] for his own daughter [01323]. 17 2 8 So it came to pass, when the king's [04428] commandment [01697] and his decree [01881] was heard [08085], and when many [07227] maidens [05291] were gathered together [06908] unto Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], to the custody [03027] of Hegai [01896], that Esther [0635] was brought [03947] also unto the king's [04428] house [01004], to the custody [03027] of Hegai [01896], keeper [08104] of the women [0802]. 17 2 9 And the maiden [05291] pleased [03190] [05869] him, and she obtained [05375] kindness [02617] of him [06440]; and he speedily [0926] gave [05414] her her things for purification [08562], with such things as belonged [04490] to her, and seven [07651] maidens [05291], which were meet [07200] to be given [05414] her, out of the king's [04428] house [01004]: and he preferred [08138] her and her maids [05291] unto the best [02896] place of the house [01004] of the women [0802]. 17 2 10 Esther [0635] had not shewed [05046] her people [05971] nor her kindred [04138]: for Mordecai [04782] had charged [06680] her that she should not shew [05046] it. 17 2 11 And Mordecai [04782] walked [01980] every day [03117] before [06440] the court [02691] of the women's [0802] house [01004], to know [03045] how Esther [0635] did [07965], and what should become [06213] of her. 17 2 12 Now when every maid's [05291] turn [08447] was come [05060] to go in [0935] to king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], after [07093] that she had been twelve [08147] [06240] months [02320], according to the manner [01881] of the women [0802], (for so were the days [03117] of their purifications [04795] accomplished [04390], to wit, six [08337] months [02320] with oil [08081] of myrrh [04753], and six [08337] months [02320] with sweet odours [01314], and with other things for the purifying [08562] of the women [0802];) 17 2 13 Then thus came [0935] every maiden [05291] unto the king [04428]; whatsoever she desired [0559] was given [05414] her to go [0935] with her out of the house [01004] of the women [0802] unto the king's [04428] house [01004]. 17 2 14 In the evening [06153] she went [0935], and on the morrow [01242] she returned [07725] into the second [08145] house [01004] of the women [0802], to the custody [03027] of Shaashgaz [08190], the king's [04428] chamberlain [05631], which kept [08104] the concubines [06370]: she came in [0935] unto the king [04428] no more, except the king [04428] delighted [02654] in her, and that she were called [07121] by name [08034]. 17 2 15 Now when the turn [08447] of Esther [0635], the daughter [01323] of Abihail [032] the uncle [01730] of Mordecai [04782], who had taken [03947] her for his daughter [01323], was come [05060] to go in [0935] unto the king [04428], she required [01245] nothing [01697] but what Hegai [01896] the king's [04428] chamberlain [05631], the keeper [08104] of the women [0802], appointed [0559]. And Esther [0635] obtained [05375] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of all them that looked [07200] upon her. 17 2 16 So Esther [0635] was taken [03947] unto king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] into his house [01004] royal [04438] in the tenth [06224] month [02320], which is the month [02320] Tebeth [02887], in the seventh [07651] year [08141] of his reign [04438]. 17 2 17 And the king [04428] loved [0157] Esther [0635] above all the women [0802], and she obtained [05375] grace [02580] and favour [02617] in his sight [06440] more than all the virgins [01330]; so that he set [07760] the royal [04438] crown [03804] upon her head [07218], and made her queen [04427] instead of Vashti [02060]. 17 2 18 Then the king [04428] made [06213] a great [01419] feast [04960] unto all his princes [08269] and his servants [05650], even Esther's [0635] feast [04960]; and he made [06213] a release [02010] to the provinces [04082], and gave [05414] gifts [04864], according to the state [03027] of the king [04428]. 17 2 19 And when the virgins [01330] were gathered together [06908] the second time [08145], then Mordecai [04782] sat [03427] in the king's [04428] gate [08179]. 17 2 20 Esther [0635] had not yet shewed [05046] her kindred [04138] nor her people [05971]; as Mordecai [04782] had charged [06680] her: for Esther [0635] did [06213] the commandment [03982] of Mordecai [04782], like as when she was brought up [0545] with him. 17 2 21 In those days [03117], while Mordecai [04782] sat [03427] in the king's [04428] gate [08179], two [08147] of the king's [04428] chamberlains [05631], Bigthan [0904] and Teresh [08657], of those which kept [08104] the door [05592], were wroth [07107], and sought [01245] to lay [07971] hand [03027] on the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]. 17 2 22 And the thing [01697] was known [03045] to Mordecai [04782], who told [05046] it unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436]; and Esther [0635] certified [0559] the king [04428] thereof in Mordecai's [04782] name [08034]. 17 2 23 And when inquisition [01245] was made of the matter [01697], it was found out [04672]; therefore they were both [08147] hanged [08518] on a tree [06086]: and it was written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] before [06440] the king [04428]. 17 3 1 After [0310] these things [01697] did king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] promote [01431] Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], and advanced [05375] him, and set [07760] his seat [03678] above all the princes [08269] that were with him. 17 3 2 And all the king's [04428] servants [05650], that were in the king's [04428] gate [08179], bowed [03766], and reverenced [07812] Haman [02001]: for the king [04428] had so commanded [06680] concerning him. But Mordecai [04782] bowed [03766] not, nor did him reverence [07812]. 17 3 3 Then the king's [04428] servants [05650], which were in the king's [04428] gate [08179], said [0559] unto Mordecai [04782], Why transgressest [05674] thou the king's [04428] commandment [04687]? 17 3 4 Now it came to pass, when they spake [0559] daily [03117] [03117] unto him, and he hearkened [08085] not unto them, that they told [05046] Haman [02001], to see [07200] whether Mordecai's [04782] matters [01697] would stand [05975]: for he had told [05046] them that he was a Jew [03064]. 17 3 5 And when Haman [02001] saw [07200] that Mordecai [04782] bowed [03766] not, nor did him reverence [07812], then was Haman [02001] full [04390] of wrath [02534]. 17 3 6 And he thought [05869] scorn [0959] to lay [07971] hands [03027] on Mordecai [04782] alone; for they had shewed [05046] him the people [05971] of Mordecai [04782]: wherefore Haman [02001] sought [01245] to destroy [08045] all the Jews [03064] that were throughout the whole kingdom [04438] of Ahasuerus [0325], even the people [05971] of Mordecai [04782]. 17 3 7 In the first [07223] month [02320], that is, the month [02320] Nisan [05212], in the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], they cast [05307] Pur [06332], that is, the lot [01486], before [06440] Haman [02001] from day [03117] to day [03117], and from month [02320] to month [02320], to the twelfth [08147] [06240] month, that is, the month [02320] Adar [0143]. 17 3 8 And Haman [02001] said [0559] unto king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], There is [03426] a certain [0259] people [05971] scattered abroad [06340] and dispersed [06504] among the people [05971] in all the provinces [04082] of thy kingdom [04438]; and their laws [01881] are diverse [08138] from all people [05971]; neither keep [06213] they the king's [04428] laws [01881]: therefore it is not for the king's [04428] profit [07737] to suffer [03240] them. 17 3 9 If it please [02895] the king [04428], let it be written [03789] that they may be destroyed [06]: and I will pay [08254] ten [06235] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701] to the hands [03027] of those that have the charge [06213] of the business [04399], to bring [0935] it into the king's [04428] treasuries [01595]. 17 3 10 And the king [04428] took [05493] his ring [02885] from his hand [03027], and gave [05414] it unto Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], the Jews [03064]' enemy [06887]. 17 3 11 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Haman [02001], The silver [03701] is given [05414] to thee, the people [05971] also, to do [06213] with them as it seemeth [05869] good [02896] to thee. 17 3 12 Then were the king's [04428] scribes [05608] called [07121] on the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320], and there was written [03789] according to all that Haman [02001] had commanded [06680] unto the king's [04428] lieutenants [0323], and to the governors [06346] that were over every province [04082], and to the rulers [08269] of every people [05971] of every province [04082] according to the writing [03791] thereof, and to every people [05971] after their language [03956]; in the name [08034] of king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] was it written [03789], and sealed [02856] with the king's [04428] ring [02885]. 17 3 13 And the letters [05612] were sent [07971] by [03027] posts [07323] into all the king's [04428] provinces [04082], to destroy [08045], to kill [02026], and to cause to perish [06], all Jews [03064], both young [05288] and old [02205], little children [02945] and women [0802], in one [0259] day [03117], even upon the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day of the twelfth [08147] [06240] month [02320], which is the month [02320] Adar [0143], and to take the spoil [07998] of them for a prey [0962]. 17 3 14 The copy [06572] of the writing [03791] for a commandment [01881] to be given [05414] in every province [04082] was published [01540] unto all people [05971], that they should be ready [06264] against that day [03117]. 17 3 15 The posts [07323] went out [03318], being hastened [01765] by the king's [04428] commandment [01697], and the decree [01881] was given [05414] in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002]. And the king [04428] and Haman [02001] sat down [03427] to drink [08354]; but the city [05892] Shushan [07800] was perplexed [0943]. 17 4 1 When Mordecai [04782] perceived [03045] all that was done [06213], Mordecai [04782] rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and put on [03847] sackcloth [08242] with ashes [0665], and went out [03318] into the midst [08432] of the city [05892], and cried [02199] with a loud [01419] and a bitter [04751] cry [02201]; 17 4 2 And came [0935] even before [06440] the king's [04428] gate [08179]: for none might enter [0935] into the king's [04428] gate [08179] clothed [03830] with sackcloth [08242]. 17 4 3 And in every province [04082], whithersoever [04725] the king's [04428] commandment [01697] and his decree [01881] came [05060], there was great [01419] mourning [060] among the Jews [03064], and fasting [06685], and weeping [01065], and wailing [04553]; and many [07227] lay [03331] in sackcloth [08242] and ashes [0665]. 17 4 4 So Esther's [0635] maids [05291] and her chamberlains [05631] came [0935] and told [05046] it her. Then was the queen [04436] exceedingly [03966] grieved [02342]; and she sent [07971] raiment [0899] to clothe [03847] Mordecai [04782], and to take away [05493] his sackcloth [08242] from him: but he received [06901] it not. 17 4 5 Then called [07121] Esther [0635] for Hatach [02047], one of the king's [04428] chamberlains [05631], whom he had appointed [05975] to attend [06440] upon her, and gave him a commandment [06680] to Mordecai [04782], to know [03045] what it was, and why it was. 17 4 6 So Hatach [02047] went forth [03318] to Mordecai [04782] unto the street [07339] of the city [05892], which was before [06440] the king's [04428] gate [08179]. 17 4 7 And Mordecai [04782] told [05046] him of all that had happened [07136] unto him, and of the sum [06575] of the money [03701] that Haman [02001] had promised [0559] to pay [08254] to the king's [04428] treasuries [01595] for the Jews [03064], to destroy [06] them. 17 4 8 Also he gave [05414] him the copy [06572] of the writing [03791] of the decree [01881] that was given [05414] at Shushan [07800] to destroy [08045] them, to shew [07200] it unto Esther [0635], and to declare [05046] it unto her, and to charge [06680] her that she should go in [0935] unto the king [04428], to make supplication [02603] unto him, and to make request [01245] before [06440] him for her people [05971]. 17 4 9 And Hatach [02047] came [0935] and told [05046] Esther [0635] the words [01697] of Mordecai [04782]. 17 4 10 Again Esther [0635] spake [0559] unto Hatach [02047], and gave him commandment [06680] unto Mordecai [04782]; 17 4 11 All the king's [04428] servants [05650], and the people [05971] of the king's [04428] provinces [04082], do know [03045], that whosoever, whether man [0376] or woman [0802], shall come [0935] unto the king [04428] into the inner [06442] court [02691], who is not called [07121], there is one [0259] law [01881] of his to put him to death [04191], except [0905] such to whom the king [04428] shall hold out [03447] the golden [02091] sceptre [08275], that he may live [02421]: but I have not been called [07121] to come in [0935] unto the king [04428] these thirty [07970] days [03117]. 17 4 12 And they told [05046] to Mordecai [04782] Esther's [0635] words [01697]. 17 4 13 Then Mordecai [04782] commanded [0559] to answer [07725] Esther [0635], Think [01819] not with thyself [05315] that thou shalt escape [04422] in the king's [04428] house [01004], more than all the Jews [03064]. 17 4 14 For if thou altogether [02790] holdest thy peace [02790] at this time [06256], then shall there enlargement [07305] and deliverance [02020] arise [05975] to the Jews [03064] from another [0312] place [04725]; but thou and thy father's [01] house [01004] shall be destroyed [06]: and who knoweth [03045] whether thou art come [05060] to the kingdom [04438] for such a time [06256] as this? 17 4 15 Then Esther [0635] bade [0559] them return [07725] Mordecai [04782] this answer, 17 4 16 Go [03212], gather together [03664] all the Jews [03064] that are present [04672] in Shushan [07800], and fast [06684] ye for me, and neither eat [0398] nor drink [08354] three [07969] days [03117], night [03915] or day [03117]: I also and my maidens [05291] will fast [06684] likewise; and so [03651] will I go [0935] in unto the king [04428], which is not according to the law [01881]: and if I perish [06], I perish [06]. 17 4 17 So Mordecai [04782] went his way [05674], and did [06213] according to all that Esther [0635] had commanded [06680] him. 17 5 1 Now it came to pass on the third [07992] day [03117], that Esther [0635] put on [03847] her royal [04438] apparel, and stood [05975] in the inner [06442] court [02691] of the king's [04428] house [01004], over against [05227] the king's [04428] house [01004]: and the king [04428] sat [03427] upon his royal [04438] throne [03678] in the royal [04438] house [01004], over against [05227] the gate [06607] of the house [01004]. 17 5 2 And it was so, when the king [04428] saw [07200] Esther [0635] the queen [04436] standing [05975] in the court [02691], that she obtained [05375] favour [02580] in his sight [05869]: and the king [04428] held out [03447] to Esther [0635] the golden [02091] sceptre [08275] that was in his hand [03027]. So Esther [0635] drew near [07126], and touched [05060] the top [07218] of the sceptre [08275]. 17 5 3 Then said [0559] the king [04428] unto her, What wilt thou, queen [04436] Esther [0635]? and what is thy request [01246]? it shall be even given [05414] thee to the half [02677] of the kingdom [04438]. 17 5 4 And Esther [0635] answered [0559], If it seem good [02895] unto the king [04428], let the king [04428] and Haman [02001] come [0935] this day [03117] unto the banquet [04960] that I have prepared [06213] for him. 17 5 5 Then the king [04428] said [0559], Cause Haman [02001] to make haste [04116], that he may do [06213] as Esther [0635] hath said [01697]. So the king [04428] and Haman [02001] came [0935] to the banquet [04960] that Esther [0635] had prepared [06213]. 17 5 6 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Esther [0635] at the banquet [04960] of wine [03196], What is thy petition [07596]? and it shall be granted [05414] thee: and what is thy request [01246]? even to the half [02677] of the kingdom [04438] it shall be performed [06213]. 17 5 7 Then answered [06030] Esther [0635], and said [0559], My petition [07596] and my request [01246] is; 17 5 8 If I have found [04672] favour [02580] in the sight [05869] of the king [04428], and if it please [02895] the king [04428] to grant [05414] my petition [07596], and to perform [06213] my request [01246], let the king [04428] and Haman [02001] come [0935] to the banquet [04960] that I shall prepare [06213] for them, and I will do [06213] to morrow [04279] as the king [04428] hath said [01697]. 17 5 9 Then went [03318] Haman [02001] forth [03318] that day [03117] joyful [08056] and with a glad [02896] heart [03820]: but when Haman [02001] saw [07200] Mordecai [04782] in the king's [04428] gate [08179], that he stood not up [06965], nor moved [02111] for him, he [02001] was full [04390] of indignation [02534] against Mordecai [04782]. 17 5 10 Nevertheless Haman [02001] refrained [0662] himself: and when he came [0935] home [01004], he sent [07971] and called [0935] for his friends [0157], and Zeresh [02238] his wife [0802]. 17 5 11 And Haman [02001] told [05608] them of the glory [03519] of his riches [06239], and the multitude [07230] of his children [01121], and all the things wherein the king [04428] had promoted [01431] him, and how he had advanced [05375] him above the princes [08269] and servants [05650] of the king [04428]. 17 5 12 Haman [02001] said [0559] moreover, Yea, Esther [0635] the queen [04436] did let no man come in [0935] with the king [04428] unto the banquet [04960] that she had prepared [06213] but myself; and to morrow [04279] am I invited [07121] unto her also with the king [04428]. 17 5 13 Yet all this availeth [07737] me nothing, so long as [06256] I see [07200] Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064] sitting [03427] at the king's [04428] gate [08179]. 17 5 14 Then said [0559] Zeresh [02238] his wife [0802] and all his friends [0157] unto him, Let a gallows [06086] be made [06213] of fifty [02572] cubits [0520] high [01364], and to morrow [01242] speak [0559] thou unto the king [04428] that Mordecai [04782] may be hanged [08518] thereon: then go [0935] thou in merrily [08056] with the king [04428] unto the banquet [04960]. And the thing [01697] pleased [03190] [06440] Haman [02001]; and he caused [06213] the gallows [06086] to be made [06213]. 17 6 1 On that night [03915] could not [05074] the king [04428] sleep [08142], and he commanded [0559] to bring [0935] the book [05612] of records [02146] of the chronicles [01697] [03117]; and they were read [07121] before [06440] the king [04428]. 17 6 2 And it was found [04672] written [03789], that Mordecai [04782] had told [05046] of Bigthana [0904] and Teresh [08657], two [08147] of the king's [04428] chamberlains [05631], the keepers [08104] of the door [05592], who sought [01245] to lay [07971] hand [03027] on the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]. 17 6 3 And the king [04428] said [0559], What honour [03366] and dignity [01420] hath been done [06213] to Mordecai [04782] for this? Then said [0559] the king's [04428] servants [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, There is nothing [01697] done [06213] for him. 17 6 4 And the king [04428] said [0559], Who is in the court [02691]? Now Haman [02001] was come [0935] into the outward [02435] court [02691] of the king's [04428] house [01004], to speak [0559] unto the king [04428] to hang [08518] Mordecai [04782] on the gallows [06086] that he had prepared [03559] for him. 17 6 5 And the king's [04428] servants [05288] said [0559] unto him, Behold, Haman [02001] standeth [05975] in the court [02691]. And the king [04428] said [0559], Let him come in [0935]. 17 6 6 So Haman [02001] came in [0935]. And the king [04428] said [0559] unto him, What shall be done [06213] unto the man [0376] whom the king [04428] delighteth [02654] to honour [03366]? Now Haman [02001] thought [0559] in his heart [03820], To whom would the king [04428] delight [02654] to do [06213] honour [03366] more [03148] than to myself? 17 6 7 And Haman [02001] answered [0559] the king [04428], For the man [0376] whom the king [04428] delighteth [02654] to honour [03366], 17 6 8 Let the royal [04438] apparel [03830] be brought [0935] which the king [04428] useth to wear [03847], and the horse [05483] that the king [04428] rideth [07392] upon, and the crown [03804] royal [04438] which is set [05414] upon his head [07218]: 17 6 9 And let this apparel [03830] and horse [05483] be delivered [05414] to the hand [03027] of one [0376] of the king's [04428] most noble [06579] princes [08269], that they may array [03847] the man [0376] withal whom the king [04428] delighteth [02654] to honour [03366], and bring [07392] him on horseback [05483] through the street [07339] of the city [05892], and proclaim [07121] before [06440] him, Thus shall it be done [06213] to the man [0376] whom the king [04428] delighteth [02654] to honour [03366]. 17 6 10 Then the king [04428] said [0559] to Haman [02001], Make haste [04116], and take [03947] the apparel [03830] and the horse [05483], as thou hast said [01696], and do [06213] even so to Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064], that sitteth [03427] at the king's [04428] gate [08179]: let nothing [01697] fail [05307] of all that thou hast spoken [01696]. 17 6 11 Then took [03947] Haman [02001] the apparel [03830] and the horse [05483], and arrayed [03847] Mordecai [04782], and brought him on horseback [07392] through the street [07339] of the city [05892], and proclaimed [07121] before [06440] him, Thus shall it be done [06213] unto the man [0376] whom the king [04428] delighteth [02654] to honour [03366]. 17 6 12 And Mordecai [04782] came again [07725] to the king's [04428] gate [08179]. But Haman [02001] hasted [01765] to his house [01004] mourning [057], and having his head [07218] covered [02645]. 17 6 13 And Haman [02001] told [05608] Zeresh [02238] his wife [0802] and all his friends [0157] every thing that had befallen [07136] him. Then said [0559] his wise men [02450] and Zeresh [02238] his wife [0802] unto him, If Mordecai [04782] be of the seed [02233] of the Jews [03064], before [06440] whom thou hast begun [02490] to fall [05307], thou shalt not prevail [03201] against him, but shalt surely [05307] fall [05307] before [06440] him. 17 6 14 And while they were yet talking [01696] with him, came [05060] the king's [04428] chamberlains [05631], and hasted [0926] to bring [0935] Haman [02001] unto the banquet [04960] that Esther [0635] had prepared [06213]. 17 7 1 So the king [04428] and Haman [02001] came [0935] to banquet [08354] with Esther [0635] the queen [04436]. 17 7 2 And the king [04428] said [0559] again unto Esther [0635] on the second [08145] day [03117] at the banquet [04960] of wine [03196], What is thy petition [07596], queen [04436] Esther [0635]? and it shall be granted [05414] thee: and what is thy request [01246]? and it shall be performed [06213], even to the half [02677] of the kingdom [04438]. 17 7 3 Then Esther [0635] the queen [04436] answered [06030] and said [0559], If I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869], O king [04428], and if it please [02895] the king [04428], let my life [05315] be given [05414] me at my petition [07596], and my people [05971] at my request [01246]: 17 7 4 For we are sold [04376], I and my people [05971], to be destroyed [08045], to be slain [02026], and to perish [06]. But if [0432] we had been sold [04376] for bondmen [05650] and bondwomen [08198], I had held my tongue [02790], although the enemy [06862] could not countervail [07737] the king's [04428] damage [05143]. 17 7 5 Then the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] answered [0559] and said [0559] unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436], Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume [04390] in his heart [03820] to do [06213] so? 17 7 6 And Esther [0635] said [0559], The adversary [0376] [06862] and enemy [0341] is this wicked [07451] Haman [02001]. Then Haman [02001] was afraid [01204] before [06440] the king [04428] and the queen [04436]. 17 7 7 And the king [04428] arising [06965] from the banquet [04960] of wine [03196] in his wrath [02534] went into the palace [01055] garden [01594]: and Haman [02001] stood up [05975] to make request [01245] for his life [05315] to Esther [0635] the queen [04436]; for he saw [07200] that there was evil [07451] determined [03615] against him by the king [04428]. 17 7 8 Then the king [04428] returned [07725] out of the palace [01055] garden [01594] into the place [01004] of the banquet [04960] of wine [03196]; and Haman [02001] was fallen [05307] upon the bed [04296] whereon Esther [0635] was. Then said [0559] the king [04428], Will he force [03533] the queen [04436] also before me in the house [01004]? As the word [01697] went out [03318] of the king's [04428] mouth [06310], they covered [02645] Haman's [02001] face [06440]. 17 7 9 And Harbonah [02726], one [0259] of the chamberlains [05631], said [0559] before [06440] the king [04428], Behold also, the gallows [06086] fifty [02572] cubits [0520] high [01364], which Haman [02001] had made [06213] for Mordecai [04782], who had spoken [01696] good [02896] for the king [04428], standeth [05975] in the house [01004] of Haman [02001]. Then the king [04428] said [0559], Hang [08518] him thereon. 17 7 10 So they hanged [08518] Haman [02001] on the gallows [06086] that he had prepared [03559] for Mordecai [04782]. Then was the king's [04428] wrath [02534] pacified [07918]. 17 8 1 On that day [03117] did the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] give [05414] the house [01004] of Haman [02001] the Jews [03064]' enemy [06887] unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436]. And Mordecai [04782] came [0935] before [06440] the king [04428]; for Esther [0635] had told [05046] what he was unto her. 17 8 2 And the king [04428] took off [05493] his ring [02885], which he had taken [05674] from Haman [02001], and gave [05414] it unto Mordecai [04782]. And Esther [0635] set [07760] Mordecai [04782] over the house [01004] of Haman [02001]. 17 8 3 And Esther [0635] spake [01696] yet again [03254] before [06440] the king [04428], and fell down [05307] at [06440] his feet [07272], and besought [02603] him with tears [01058] to put away [05674] the mischief [07451] of Haman [02001] the Agagite [091], and his device [04284] that he had devised [02803] against the Jews [03064]. 17 8 4 Then the king [04428] held out [03447] the golden [02091] sceptre [08275] toward Esther [0635]. So Esther [0635] arose [06965], and stood [05975] before [06440] the king [04428], 17 8 5 And said [0559], If it please [02896] the king [04428], and if I have found [04672] favour [02580] in his sight [06440], and the thing [01697] seem right [03787] before [06440] the king [04428], and I be pleasing [02896] in his eyes [05869], let it be written [03789] to reverse [07725] the letters [05612] devised [04284] by Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], which he wrote [03789] to destroy [06] the Jews [03064] which are in all the king's [04428] provinces [04082]: 17 8 6 For how [0349] can I endure [03201] to see [07200] the evil [07451] that shall come [04672] unto my people [05971]? or how [0349] can I endure [03201] to see [07200] the destruction [013] of my kindred [04138]? 17 8 7 Then the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] said [0559] unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436] and to Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064], Behold, I have given [05414] Esther [0635] the house [01004] of Haman [02001], and him they have hanged [08518] upon the gallows [06086], because he laid [07971] his hand [03027] upon the Jews [03064]. 17 8 8 Write [03789] ye also for the Jews [03064], as it liketh [02896] you [05869], in the king's [04428] name [08034], and seal [02856] it with the king's [04428] ring [02885]: for the writing [03791] which is written [03789] in the king's [04428] name [08034], and sealed [02856] with the king's [04428] ring [02885], may no man reverse [07725]. 17 8 9 Then were the king's [04428] scribes [05608] called [07121] at that time [06256] in the third [07992] month [02320], that is, the month [02320] Sivan [05510], on the three [07969] and twentieth [06242] day thereof; and it was written [03789] according to all that Mordecai [04782] commanded [06680] unto the Jews [03064], and to the lieutenants [0323], and the deputies [06346] and rulers [08269] of the provinces [04082] which are from India [01912] unto Ethiopia [03568], an hundred [03967] twenty [06242] and seven [07651] provinces [04082], unto every province [04082] according to the writing [03791] thereof, and unto every people [05971] after their language [03956], and to the Jews [03064] according to their writing [03791], and according to their language [03956]. 17 8 10 And he wrote [03789] in the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325]' name [08034], and sealed [02856] it with the king's [04428] ring [02885], and sent [07971] letters [05612] by [03027] posts [07323] on horseback [05483], and riders [07392] on mules [07409], camels [0327], and young [01121] dromedaries [07424]: 17 8 11 Wherein the king [04428] granted [05414] the Jews [03064] which were in every city [05892] to gather themselves together [06950], and to stand [05975] for their life [05315], to destroy [08045], to slay [02026], and to cause to perish [06], all the power [02428] of the people [05971] and province [04082] that would assault [06696] them, both little ones [02945] and women [0802], and to take the spoil [07998] of them for a prey [0962], 17 8 12 Upon one [0259] day [03117] in all the provinces [04082] of king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], namely, upon the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day of the twelfth [08147] [06240] month [02320], which is the month [02320] Adar [0143]. 17 8 13 The copy [06572] of the writing [03791] for a commandment [01881] to be given [05414] in every province [04082] was published [01540] unto all people [05971], and that the Jews [03064] should be ready [06264] [06259] against that day [03117] to avenge [05358] themselves on their enemies [0341]. 17 8 14 So the posts [07323] that rode [07392] upon mules [07409] and camels [0327] went out [03318], being hastened [0926] and pressed on [01765] by the king's [04428] commandment [01697]. And the decree [01881] was given [05414] at Shushan [07800] the palace [01002]. 17 8 15 And Mordecai [04782] went out [03318] from the presence [06440] of the king [04428] in royal [04438] apparel [03830] of blue [08504] and white [02353], and with a great [01419] crown [05850] of gold [02091], and with a garment [08509] of fine linen [0948] and purple [0713]: and the city [05892] of Shushan [07800] rejoiced [06670] and was glad [08056]. 17 8 16 The Jews [03064] had light [0219], and gladness [08057], and joy [08342], and honour [03366]. 17 8 17 And in every province [04082], and in every city [05892], whithersoever [04725] the king's [04428] commandment [01697] and his decree [01881] came [05060], the Jews [03064] had joy [08057] and gladness [08342], a feast [04960] and a good [02896] day [03117]. And many [07227] of the people [05971] of the land [0776] became Jews [03054]; for the fear [06343] of the Jews [03064] fell [05307] upon them. 17 9 1 Now in the twelfth [08147] [06240] month [02320], that is, the month [02320] Adar [0143], on the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day [03117] of the same, when the king's [04428] commandment [01697] and his decree [01881] drew near [05060] to be put in execution [06213], in the day [03117] that the enemies [0341] of the Jews [03064] hoped [07663] to have power [07980] over them, (though it was turned [02015] to the contrary, that the Jews [03064] had rule [07980] over them that hated [08130] them;) 17 9 2 The Jews [03064] gathered themselves together [06950] in their cities [05892] throughout all the provinces [04082] of the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], to lay [07971] hand [03027] on such as sought [01245] their hurt [07451]: and no man [0376] could withstand [05975] them [06440]; for the fear [06343] of them fell [05307] upon all people [05971]. 17 9 3 And all the rulers [08269] of the provinces [04082], and the lieutenants [0323], and the deputies [06346], and officers [06213] [04399] of the king [04428], helped [05375] the Jews [03064]; because the fear [06343] of Mordecai [04782] fell [05307] upon them. 17 9 4 For Mordecai [04782] was great [01419] in the king's [04428] house [01004], and his fame [08089] went out [01980] throughout all the provinces [04082]: for this man [0376] Mordecai [04782] waxed [01980] greater and greater [01419]. 17 9 5 Thus the Jews [03064] smote [05221] all their enemies [0341] with the stroke [04347] of the sword [02719], and slaughter [02027], and destruction [012], and did [06213] what they would [07522] unto those that hated [08130] them. 17 9 6 And in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002] the Jews [03064] slew [02026] and destroyed [06] five [02568] hundred [03967] men [0376]. 17 9 7 And Parshandatha [06577], and Dalphon [01813], and Aspatha [0630], 17 9 8 And Poratha [06334], and Adalia [0118], and Aridatha [0743], 17 9 9 And Parmashta [06534], and Arisai [0747], and Aridai [0742], and Vajezatha [02055], 17 9 10 The ten [06235] sons [01121] of Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099], the enemy [06887] of the Jews [03064], slew [02026] they; but on the spoil [0961] laid [07971] they not their hand [03027]. 17 9 11 On that day [03117] the number [04557] of those that were slain [02026] in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002] was brought [0935] before [06440] the king [04428]. 17 9 12 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436], The Jews [03064] have slain [02026] and destroyed [06] five [02568] hundred [03967] men [0376] in Shushan [07800] the palace [01002], and the ten [06235] sons [01121] of Haman [02001]; what have they done [06213] in the rest [07605] of the king's [04428] provinces [04082]? now what is thy petition [07596]? and it shall be granted [05414] thee: or what is thy request [01246] further [05750]? and it shall be done [06213]. 17 9 13 Then said [0559] Esther [0635], If it please [02896] the king [04428], let it be granted [05414] to the Jews [03064] which are in Shushan [07800] to do [06213] to morrow [04279] also according unto this day's [03117] decree [01881], and let Haman's [02001] ten [06235] sons [01121] be hanged [08518] upon the gallows [06086]. 17 9 14 And the king [04428] commanded [0559] it so to be done [06213]: and the decree [01881] was given [05414] at Shushan [07800]; and they hanged [08518] Haman's [02001] ten [06235] sons [01121]. 17 9 15 For the Jews [03064] that were in Shushan [07800] gathered themselves together [06950] on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] also of the month [02320] Adar [0143], and slew [02026] three [07969] hundred [03967] men [0376] at Shushan [07800]; but on the prey [0961] they laid [07971] not their hand [03027]. 17 9 16 But the other [07605] Jews [03064] that were in the king's [04428] provinces [04082] gathered themselves together [06950], and stood [05975] for their lives [05315], and had rest [05118] from their enemies [0341], and slew [02026] of their foes [08130] seventy [07657] and five [02568] thousand [0505], but they laid [07971] not their hands [03027] on the prey [0961], 17 9 17 On the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143]; and on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day of the same rested [05118] they, and made [06213] it a day [03117] of feasting [04960] and gladness [08057]. 17 9 18 But the Jews [03064] that were at Shushan [07800] assembled together [06950] on the thirteenth [07969] [06240] day thereof, and on the fourteenth [0702] [06240] thereof; and on the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day of the same they rested [05118], and made [06213] it a day [03117] of feasting [04960] and gladness [08057]. 17 9 19 Therefore the Jews [03064] of the villages [06521], that dwelt [03427] in the unwalled [06519] towns [05892], made [06213] the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143] a day of gladness [08057] and feasting [04960], and a good [02896] day [03117], and of sending [04916] portions [04490] one [0376] to another [07453]. 17 9 20 And Mordecai [04782] wrote [03789] these things [01697], and sent [07971] letters [05612] unto all the Jews [03064] that were in all the provinces [04082] of the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], both nigh [07138] and far [07350], 17 9 21 To stablish [06965] this among them, that they should keep [06213] the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143], and the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the same, yearly [08141] [08141], 17 9 22 As the days [03117] wherein the Jews [03064] rested [05117] from their enemies [0341], and the month [02320] which was turned [02015] unto them from sorrow [03015] to joy [08057], and from mourning [060] into a good [02896] day [03117]: that they should make [06213] them days [03117] of feasting [04960] and joy [08057], and of sending [04916] portions [04490] one [0376] to another [07453], and gifts [04979] to the poor [034]. 17 9 23 And the Jews [03064] undertook [06901] to do [06213] as they had begun [02490], and as Mordecai [04782] had written [03789] unto them; 17 9 24 Because Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099], the Agagite [091], the enemy [06887] of all the Jews [03064], had devised [02803] against the Jews [03064] to destroy [06] them, and had cast [05307] Pur [06332], that is, the lot [01486], to consume [02000] them, and to destroy [06] them; 17 9 25 But when Esther came [0935] before [06440] the king [04428], he commanded [0559] by letters [05612] that his wicked [07451] device [04284], which he devised [02803] against the Jews [03064], should return [07725] upon his own head [07218], and that he and his sons [01121] should be hanged [08518] on the gallows [06086]. 17 9 26 Wherefore they called [07121] these days [03117] Purim [06332] after the name [08034] of Pur [06332]. Therefore for all the words [01697] of this letter [0107], and of that which they had seen [07200] concerning this matter [03602], and which had come [05060] unto them, 17 9 27 The Jews [03064] ordained [06965], and took [06901] upon them, and upon their seed [02233], and upon all such as joined [03867] themselves unto them, so as it should not fail [05674], that they would keep [06213] these two [08147] days [03117] according to their writing [03791], and according to their appointed time [02165] every year [08141] [08141]; 17 9 28 And that these days [03117] should be remembered [02142] and kept [06213] throughout [01755] every generation [01755], every family [04940], every province [04082], and every city [05892]; and that these days [03117] of Purim [06332] should not fail [05674] from among [08432] the Jews [03064], nor the memorial [02143] of them perish [05486] from their seed [02233]. 17 9 29 Then Esther [0635] the queen [04436], the daughter [01323] of Abihail [032], and Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064], wrote [03789] with all authority [08633], to confirm [06965] this second [08145] letter [0107] of Purim [06332]. 17 9 30 And he sent [07971] the letters [05612] unto all the Jews [03064], to the hundred [03967] twenty [06242] and seven [07651] provinces [04082] of the kingdom [04438] of Ahasuerus [0325], with words [01697] of peace [07965] and truth [0571], 17 9 31 To confirm [06965] these days [03117] of Purim [06332] in their times [02165] appointed, according as Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064] and Esther [0635] the queen [04436] had enjoined [06965] them, and as they had decreed [06965] for themselves [05315] and for their seed [02233], the matters [01697] of the fastings [06685] and their cry [02201]. 17 9 32 And the decree [03982] of Esther [0635] confirmed [06965] these matters [01697] of Purim [06332]; and it was written [03789] in the book [05612]. 17 10 1 And the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] laid [07760] a tribute [04522] upon the land [0776], and upon the isles [0339] of the sea [03220]. 17 10 2 And all the acts [04639] of his power [08633] and of his might [01369], and the declaration [06575] of the greatness [01420] of Mordecai [04782], whereunto the king [04428] advanced [01431] him, are they not written [03789] in the book [05612] of the chronicles [01697] [03117] of the kings [04428] of Media [04074] and Persia [06539]? 17 10 3 For Mordecai [04782] the Jew [03064] was next [04932] unto king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325], and great [01419] among the Jews [03064], and accepted [07521] of the multitude [07230] of his brethren [0251], seeking [01875] the wealth [02896] of his people [05971], and speaking [01696] peace [07965] to all his seed [02233]. 18 1 1 There was a man [0376] in the land [0776] of Uz [05780], whose name [08034] was Job [0347]; and that man [0376] was perfect [08535] and upright [03477], and one that feared [03373] God [0430], and eschewed [05493] evil [07451]. 18 1 2 And there were born [03205] unto him seven [07651] sons [01121] and three [07969] daughters [01323]. 18 1 3 His substance [04735] also was seven [07651] thousand [0505] sheep [06629], and three [07969] thousand [0505] camels [01581], and five [02568] hundred [03967] yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and five [02568] hundred [03967] she asses [0860], and a very [03966] great [07227] household [05657]; so that this man [0376] was the greatest [01419] of all the men [01121] of the east [06924]. 18 1 4 And his sons [01121] went [01980] and feasted [04960] [06213] in their houses [01004], every one [0376] his day [03117]; and sent [07971] and called [07121] for their three [07969] sisters [0269] to eat [0398] and to drink [08354] with them. 18 1 5 And it was so, when the days [03117] of their feasting [04960] were gone about [05362], that Job [0347] sent [07971] and sanctified [06942] them, and rose up early [07925] in the morning [01242], and offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] according to the number [04557] of them all: for Job [0347] said [0559], It may be [0194] that my sons [01121] have sinned [02398], and cursed [01288] God [0430] in their hearts [03824]. Thus did [06213] Job [0347] continually [03117]. 18 1 6 Now there was a day [03117] when the sons [01121] of God [0430] came [0935] to present [03320] themselves before the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] came [0935] also among [08432] them. 18 1 7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], Whence [0370] comest [0935] thou? Then Satan [07854] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], From going to and fro [07751] in the earth [0776], and from walking up and down [01980] in it. 18 1 8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], Hast thou considered [07760] [03820] my servant [05650] Job [0347], that there is none like him in the earth [0776], a perfect [08535] and an upright [03477] man [0376], one that feareth [03373] God [0430], and escheweth [05493] evil [07451]? 18 1 9 Then Satan [07854] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Doth Job [0347] fear [03372] God [0430] for nought [02600]? 18 1 10 Hast not thou made an hedge [07753] about him, and about [01157] his house [01004], and about all that he hath on every side [05439]? thou hast blessed [01288] the work [04639] of his hands [03027], and his substance [04735] is increased [06555] in the land [0776]. 18 1 11 But [0199] put forth [07971] thine hand [03027] now, and touch [05060] all that he hath, and he will curse [01288] [03808] thee to thy face [06440]. 18 1 12 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], Behold, all that he hath is in thy power [03027]; only upon himself put not forth [07971] thine hand [03027]. So Satan [07854] went forth [03318] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068]. 18 1 13 And there was a day [03117] when his sons [01121] and his daughters [01323] were eating [0398] and drinking [08354] wine [03196] in their eldest [01060] brother's [0251] house [01004]: 18 1 14 And there came [0935] a messenger [04397] unto Job [0347], and said [0559], The oxen [01241] were plowing [02790], and the asses [0860] feeding [07462] beside [03027] them: 18 1 15 And the Sabeans [07614] fell [05307] upon them, and took them away [03947]; yea, they have slain [05221] the servants [05288] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee. 18 1 16 While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The fire [0784] of God [0430] is fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], and hath burned up [01197] the sheep [06629], and the servants [05288], and consumed [0398] them; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee. 18 1 17 While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The Chaldeans [03778] made out [07760] three [07969] bands [07218], and fell [06584] upon the camels [01581], and have carried them away [03947], yea, and slain [05221] the servants [05288] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee. 18 1 18 While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], Thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] were eating [0398] and drinking [08354] wine [03196] in their eldest [01060] brother's [0251] house [01004]: 18 1 19 And, behold, there came [0935] a great [01419] wind [07307] from [05676] the wilderness [04057], and smote [05060] the four [0702] corners [06438] of the house [01004], and it fell [05307] upon the young men [05288], and they are dead [04191]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee. 18 1 20 Then Job [0347] arose [06965], and rent [07167] his mantle [04598], and shaved [01494] his head [07218], and fell down [05307] upon the ground [0776], and worshipped [07812], 18 1 21 And said [0559], Naked [06174] came I out [03318] of my mother's [0517] womb [0990], and naked [06174] shall I return [07725] thither: the LORD [03068] gave [05414], and the LORD [03068] hath taken away [03947]; blessed [01288] be the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 18 1 22 In all this Job [0347] sinned [02398] not, nor charged [05414] God [0430] foolishly [08604]. 18 2 1 Again there was a day [03117] when the sons [01121] of God [0430] came [0935] to present [03320] themselves before the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] came [0935] also among [08432] them to present [03320] himself before the LORD [03068]. 18 2 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], From whence [0335] comest [0935] thou? And Satan [07854] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], From going to and fro [07751] in the earth [0776], and from walking up and down [01980] in it. 18 2 3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], Hast thou [07760] considered [03820] my servant [05650] Job [0347], that there is none like him in the earth [0776], a perfect [08535] and an upright [03477] man [0376], one that feareth [03373] God [0430], and escheweth [05493] evil [07451]? and still he holdeth fast [02388] his integrity [08538], although thou movedst [05496] me against him, to destroy [01104] him without cause [02600]. 18 2 4 And Satan [07854] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], Skin [05785] for skin [05785], yea, all that a man [0376] hath will he give [05414] for his life [05315]. 18 2 5 But [0199] put forth [07971] thine hand [03027] now, and touch [05060] his bone [06106] and his flesh [01320], and he will curse [01288] thee to thy face [06440]. 18 2 6 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], Behold, he is in thine hand [03027]; but save [08104] his life [05315]. 18 2 7 So went [03318] Satan [07854] forth [03318] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], and smote [05221] Job [0347] with sore [07451] boils [07822] from the sole [03709] of his foot [07272] unto his crown [06936]. 18 2 8 And he took [03947] him a potsherd [02789] to scrape [01623] himself withal; and he sat down [03427] among [08432] the ashes [0665]. 18 2 9 Then said [0559] his wife [0802] unto him, Dost thou still retain [02388] thine integrity [08538]? curse [01288] God [0430], and die [04191]. 18 2 10 But he said [0559] unto her, Thou speakest [01696] as one [0259] of the foolish women [05036] speaketh [01696]. What [01571]? shall we receive [06901] good [02896] at the hand of God [0430], and shall we not receive [06901] evil [07451]? In all this did not Job [0347] sin [02398] with his lips [08193]. 18 2 11 Now when Job's [0347] three [07969] friends [07453] heard [08085] of all this evil [07451] that was come [0935] upon him, they came [0935] every one [0376] from his own place [04725]; Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489], and Bildad [01085] the Shuhite [07747], and Zophar [06691] the Naamathite [05284]: for they had made an appointment [03259] together [03162] to come [0935] to mourn [05110] with him and to comfort [05162] him. 18 2 12 And when they lifted up [05375] their eyes [05869] afar off [07350], and knew [05234] him not, they lifted up [05375] their voice [06963], and wept [01058]; and they rent [07167] every one [0376] his mantle [04598], and sprinkled [02236] dust [06083] upon their heads [07218] toward heaven [08064]. 18 2 13 So they sat down [03427] with him upon the ground [0776] seven [07651] days [03117] and seven [07651] nights [03915], and none spake [01696] a word [01697] unto him: for they saw [07200] that his grief [03511] was very [03966] great [01431]. 18 3 1 After [0310] this opened [06605] Job [0347] his mouth [06310], and cursed [07043] his day [03117]. 18 3 2 And Job [0347] spake [06030], and said [0559], 18 3 3 Let the day [03117] perish [06] wherein I was born [03205], and the night [03915] in which it was said [0559], There is a man child [01397] conceived [02029]. 18 3 4 Let that day [03117] be darkness [02822]; let not God [0433] regard [01875] it from above [04605], neither let the light [05105] shine [03313] upon it. 18 3 5 Let darkness [02822] and the shadow of death [06757] stain [01350] it; let a cloud [06053] dwell [07931] upon it; let the blackness [03650] of the day [03117] terrify [01204] it. 18 3 6 As for that night [03915], let darkness [0652] seize [03947] upon it; let it not be joined [02302] unto the days [03117] of the year [08141], let it not come [0935] into the number [04557] of the months [03391]. 18 3 7 Lo, let that night [03915] be solitary [01565], let no joyful voice [07445] come [0935] therein. 18 3 8 Let them curse [05344] it that curse [0779] the day [03117], who are ready [06264] to raise up [05782] their mourning [03882]. 18 3 9 Let the stars [03556] of the twilight [05399] thereof be dark [02821]; let it look [06960] for light [0216], but have none; neither let it see [07200] the dawning [06079] of the day [07837]: 18 3 10 Because it shut not up [05462] the doors [01817] of my mother's womb [0990], nor hid [05641] sorrow [05999] from mine eyes [05869]. 18 3 11 Why died [04191] I not from the womb [07358]? why did I not give up the ghost [01478] when I came out [03318] of the belly [0990]? 18 3 12 Why did the knees [01290] prevent [06923] me? or why the breasts [07699] that I should suck [03243]? 18 3 13 For now should I have lain still [07901] and been quiet [08252], I should have slept [03462]: then had I been at rest [05117], 18 3 14 With kings [04428] and counsellors [03289] of the earth [0776], which built [01129] desolate places [02723] for themselves; 18 3 15 Or with princes [08269] that had gold [02091], who filled [04390] their houses [01004] with silver [03701]: 18 3 16 Or as an hidden [02934] untimely birth [05309] I had not been; as infants [05768] which never saw [07200] light [0216]. 18 3 17 There the wicked [07563] cease [02308] from troubling [07267]; and there the weary [03019] [03581] be at rest [05117]. 18 3 18 There the prisoners [0615] rest [07599] together [03162]; they hear [08085] not the voice [06963] of the oppressor [05065]. 18 3 19 The small [06996] and great [01419] are there; and the servant [05650] is free [02670] from his master [0113]. 18 3 20 Wherefore is light [0216] given [05414] to him that is in misery [06001], and life [02416] unto the bitter [04751] in soul [05315]; 18 3 21 Which long [02442] for death [04194], but it cometh not; and dig [02658] for it more than for hid treasures [04301]; 18 3 22 Which rejoice [08056] exceedingly [01524], and are glad [07797], when they can find [04672] the grave [06913]? 18 3 23 Why is light given to a man [01397] whose way [01870] is hid [05641], and whom God [0433] hath hedged in [05526]? 18 3 24 For my sighing [0585] cometh [0935] before [06440] I eat [03899], and my roarings [07581] are poured out [05413] like the waters [04325]. 18 3 25 For the thing which I greatly [06343] feared [06342] is come [0857] upon me, and that which I was afraid [03025] of is come [0935] unto me. 18 3 26 I was not in safety [07951], neither had I rest [08252], neither was I quiet [05117]; yet trouble [07267] came [0935]. 18 4 1 Then Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 4 2 If we assay [05254] to commune [01697] with thee, wilt thou be grieved [03811]? but who can [03201] withhold [06113] himself from speaking [04405]? 18 4 3 Behold, thou hast instructed [03256] many [07227], and thou hast strengthened [02388] the weak [07504] hands [03027]. 18 4 4 Thy words [04405] have upholden [06965] him that was falling [03782], and thou hast strengthened [0553] the feeble [03766] knees [01290]. 18 4 5 But now it is come [0935] upon thee, and thou faintest [03811]; it toucheth [05060] thee, and thou art troubled [0926]. 18 4 6 Is not this thy fear [03374], thy confidence [03690], thy hope [08615], and the uprightness [08537] of thy ways [01870]? 18 4 7 Remember [02142], I pray thee, who ever perished [06], being innocent [05355]? or where [0375] were the righteous [03477] cut off [03582]? 18 4 8 Even as I have seen [07200], they that plow [02790] iniquity [0205], and sow [02232] wickedness [05999], reap [07114] the same. 18 4 9 By the blast [05397] of God [0433] they perish [06], and by the breath [07307] of his nostrils [0639] are they consumed [03615]. 18 4 10 The roaring [07581] of the lion [0738], and the voice [06963] of the fierce lion [07826], and the teeth [08127] of the young lions [03715], are broken [05421]. 18 4 11 The old lion [03918] perisheth [06] for lack [01097] of prey [02964], and the stout lion's [03833] whelps [01121] are scattered abroad [06504]. 18 4 12 Now a thing [01697] was secretly brought [01589] to me, and mine ear [0241] received [03947] a little [08102] thereof. 18 4 13 In thoughts [05587] from the visions [02384] of the night [03915], when deep sleep [08639] falleth [05307] on men [0582], 18 4 14 Fear [06343] came [07122] upon me, and trembling [07461], which made all [07230] my bones [06106] to shake [06342]. 18 4 15 Then a spirit [07307] passed [02498] before my face [06440]; the hair [08185] of my flesh [01320] stood up [05568]: 18 4 16 It stood still [05975], but I could not discern [05234] the form [04758] thereof: an image [08544] was before mine eyes [05869], there was silence [01827], and I heard [08085] a voice [06963], saying, 18 4 17 Shall mortal man [0582] be more just [06663] than God [0433]? shall a man [01397] be more pure [02891] than his maker [06213]? 18 4 18 Behold, he put no trust [0539] in his servants [05650]; and his angels [04397] he charged [07760] with folly [08417]: 18 4 19 How much less [0637] in them that dwell [07931] in houses [01004] of clay [02563], whose foundation [03247] is in the dust [06083], which are crushed [01792] before [06440] the moth [06211]? 18 4 20 They are destroyed [03807] from morning [01242] to evening [06153]: they perish [06] for ever [05331] without any regarding [07760] it. 18 4 21 Doth not their excellency [03499] which is in them go away [05265]? they die [04191], even without wisdom [02451]. 18 5 1 Call [07121] now, if there be [03426] any that will answer [06030] thee; and to which of the saints [06918] wilt thou turn [06437]? 18 5 2 For wrath [03708] killeth [02026] the foolish man [0191], and envy [07068] slayeth [04191] the silly one [06601]. 18 5 3 I have seen [07200] the foolish [0191] taking root [08327]: but suddenly [06597] I cursed [05344] his habitation [05116]. 18 5 4 His children [01121] are far [07368] from safety [03468], and they are crushed [01792] in the gate [08179], neither is there any to deliver [05337] them. 18 5 5 Whose harvest [07105] the hungry [07457] eateth up [0398], and taketh [03947] it even out [0413] of the thorns [06791], and the robber [06782] swalloweth up [07602] their substance [02428]. 18 5 6 Although affliction [0205] cometh not forth [03318] of the dust [06083], neither doth trouble [05999] spring out [06779] of the ground [0127]; 18 5 7 Yet man [0120] is born [03205] unto trouble [05999], as the sparks [01121] [07565] fly [05774] upward [01361]. 18 5 8 I would seek [0199] [01875] unto God [0410], and unto God [0430] would I commit [07760] my cause [01700]: 18 5 9 Which doeth [06213] great things [01419] and unsearchable [0369] [02714]; marvellous things [06381] without number [04557]: 18 5 10 Who giveth [05414] rain [04306] upon [06440] the earth [0776], and sendeth [07971] waters [04325] upon [06440] the fields [02351]: 18 5 11 To set up [07760] on high [04791] those that be low [08217]; that those which mourn [06937] may be exalted [07682] to safety [03468]. 18 5 12 He disappointeth [06565] the devices [04284] of the crafty [06175], so that their hands [03027] cannot perform [06213] their enterprise [08454]. 18 5 13 He taketh [03920] the wise [02450] in their own craftiness [06193]: and the counsel [06098] of the froward [06617] is carried headlong [04116]. 18 5 14 They meet [06298] with darkness [02822] in the daytime [03119], and grope [04959] in the noonday [06672] as in the night [03915]. 18 5 15 But he saveth [03467] the poor [034] from the sword [02719], from their mouth [06310], and from the hand [03027] of the mighty [02389]. 18 5 16 So the poor [01800] hath hope [08615], and iniquity [05766] stoppeth [07092] her mouth [06310]. 18 5 17 Behold, happy [0835] is the man [0582] whom God [0433] correcteth [03198]: therefore despise [03988] not thou the chastening [04148] of the Almighty [07706]: 18 5 18 For he maketh sore [03510], and bindeth up [02280]: he woundeth [04272], and his hands [03027] make whole [07495]. 18 5 19 He shall deliver [05337] thee in six [08337] troubles [06869]: yea, in seven [07651] there shall no evil [07451] touch [05060] thee. 18 5 20 In famine [07458] he shall redeem [06299] thee from death [04194]: and in war [04421] from the power [03027] of the sword [02719]. 18 5 21 Thou shalt be hid [02244] from the scourge [07752] of the tongue [03956]: neither shalt thou be afraid [03372] of destruction [07701] when it cometh [0935]. 18 5 22 At destruction [07701] and famine [03720] thou shalt laugh [07832]: neither shalt thou be afraid [03372] of the beasts [02416] of the earth [0776]. 18 5 23 For thou shalt be in league [01285] with the stones [068] of the field [07704]: and the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] shall be at peace [07999] with thee. 18 5 24 And thou shalt know [03045] that thy tabernacle [0168] shall be in peace [07965]; and thou shalt visit [06485] thy habitation [05116], and shalt not sin [02398]. 18 5 25 Thou shalt know [03045] also that thy seed [02233] shall be great [07227], and thine offspring [06631] as the grass [06212] of the earth [0776]. 18 5 26 Thou shalt come [0935] to thy grave [06913] in a full age [03624], like as a shock of corn [01430] cometh in [05927] in his season [06256]. 18 5 27 Lo this, we have searched [02713] it, so it is; hear [08085] it, and know [03045] thou it for thy good. 18 6 1 But Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 6 2 Oh that [03863] my grief [03708] were throughly [08254] weighed [08254], and my calamity [01942] [01962] laid [05375] in the balances [03976] together [03162]! 18 6 3 For now it would be heavier [03513] than the sand [02344] of the sea [03220]: therefore my words [01697] are swallowed up [03886]. 18 6 4 For the arrows [02671] of the Almighty [07706] are within [05978] me, the poison [02534] whereof drinketh up [08354] my spirit [07307]: the terrors [01161] of God [0433] do set themselves in array [06186] against me. 18 6 5 Doth the wild ass [06501] bray [05101] when he hath grass [01877]? or loweth [01600] the ox [07794] over his fodder [01098]? 18 6 6 Can that which is unsavoury [08602] be eaten [0398] without salt [04417]? or is there [03426] any taste [02940] in the white [07388] of an egg [02495]? 18 6 7 The things that my soul [05315] refused [03985] to touch [05060] are as my sorrowful [01741] meat [03899]. 18 6 8 Oh that I might have [0935] my request [07596]; and that God [0433] would grant [05414] me the thing that I long for [08615]! 18 6 9 Even that it would please [02974] God [0433] to destroy [01792] me; that he would let loose [05425] his hand [03027], and cut me off [01214] ! 18 6 10 Then should I yet have comfort [05165]; yea, I would harden [05539] myself in sorrow [02427]: let him not spare [02550]; for I have not concealed [03582] the words [0561] of the Holy One [06918]. 18 6 11 What is my strength [03581], that I should hope [03176]? and what is mine end [07093], that I should prolong [0748] my life [05315]? 18 6 12 Is my strength [03581] the strength [03581] of stones [068]? or is my flesh [01320] of brass [05153]? 18 6 13 Is not my help [05833] in me? and is wisdom [08454] driven quite [05080] from me? 18 6 14 To him that is afflicted [04523] pity [02617] should be shewed from his friend [07453]; but he forsaketh [05800] the fear [03374] of the Almighty [07706]. 18 6 15 My brethren [0251] have dealt deceitfully [0898] as a brook [05158], and as the stream [0650] of brooks [05158] they pass away [05674]; 18 6 16 Which are blackish [06937] by reason of the ice [07140], and wherein the snow [07950] is hid [05956]: 18 6 17 What time [06256] they wax warm [02215], they vanish [06789]: when it is hot [02527], they are consumed out [01846] of their place [04725]. 18 6 18 The paths [0734] of their way [01870] are turned aside [03943]; they go [05927] to nothing [08414], and perish [06]. 18 6 19 The troops [0734] of Tema [08485] looked [05027], the companies [01979] of Sheba [07614] waited [06960] for them. 18 6 20 They were confounded [0954] because they had hoped [0982]; they came [0935] thither, and were ashamed [02659]. 18 6 21 For now ye are nothing; ye see [07200] my casting down [02866], and are afraid [03372]. 18 6 22 Did I say [0559], Bring [03051] unto me? or, Give a reward [07809] for me of your substance [03581]? 18 6 23 Or, Deliver [04422] me from the enemy's [06862] hand [03027]? or, Redeem [06299] me from the hand [03027] of the mighty [06184]? 18 6 24 Teach [03384] me, and I will hold my tongue [02790]: and cause me to understand [0995] wherein I have erred [07686]. 18 6 25 How forcible [04834] are right [03476] words [0561]! but what doth your arguing [03198] reprove [03198]? 18 6 26 Do ye imagine [02803] to reprove [03198] words [04405], and the speeches [0561] of one that is desperate [02976], which are as wind [07307]? 18 6 27 Yea, ye overwhelm [05307] the fatherless [03490], and ye dig [03738] a pit for your friend [07453]. 18 6 28 Now therefore be content [02974], look [06437] upon me; for it is evident [06440] unto you if I lie [03576]. 18 6 29 Return [07725], I pray you, let it not be iniquity [05766]; yea, return again [07725], my righteousness [06664] is in it. 18 6 30 Is there [03426] iniquity [05766] in my tongue [03956]? cannot my taste [02441] discern [0995] perverse things [01942]? 18 7 1 Is there not an appointed time [06635] to man [0582] upon earth [0776]? are not his days [03117] also like the days [03117] of an hireling [07916]? 18 7 2 As a servant [05650] earnestly desireth [07602] the shadow [06738], and as an hireling [07916] looketh [06960] for the reward of his work [06467]: 18 7 3 So am I made to possess [05157] months [03391] of vanity [07723], and wearisome [05999] nights [03915] are appointed [04487] to me. 18 7 4 When I lie down [07901], I say [0559], When shall I arise [06965], and the night [06153] be gone [04059]? and I am full [07646] of tossings to and fro [05076] unto the dawning of the day [05399]. 18 7 5 My flesh [01320] is clothed [03847] with worms [07415] and clods [01487] of dust [06083]; my skin [05785] is broken [07280], and become loathsome [03988]. 18 7 6 My days [03117] are swifter [07043] than a weaver's shuttle [0708], and are spent [03615] without [0657] hope [08615]. 18 7 7 O remember [02142] that my life [02416] is wind [07307]: mine eye [05869] shall no more [07725] see [07200] good [02896]. 18 7 8 The eye [05869] of him that hath seen [07210] me shall see [07789] me no more: thine eyes [05869] are upon me, and I am not. 18 7 9 As the cloud [06051] is consumed [03615] and vanisheth away [03212]: so he that goeth down [03381] to the grave [07585] shall come up [05927] no more. 18 7 10 He shall return [07725] no more to his house [01004], neither shall his place [04725] know [05234] him any more. 18 7 11 Therefore I will not refrain [02820] my mouth [06310]; I will speak [01696] in the anguish [06862] of my spirit [07307]; I will complain [07878] in the bitterness [04751] of my soul [05315]. 18 7 12 Am I a sea [03220], or a whale [08577], that thou settest [07760] a watch [04929] over me? 18 7 13 When I say [0559], My bed [06210] shall comfort [05162] me, my couch [04904] shall ease [05375] my complaint [07879]; 18 7 14 Then thou scarest [02865] me with dreams [02472], and terrifiest [01204] me through visions [02384]: 18 7 15 So that my soul [05315] chooseth [0977] strangling [04267], and death [04194] rather than my life [06106]. 18 7 16 I loathe [03988] it; I would not live [02421] alway [05769]: let me alone [02308]; for my days [03117] are vanity [01892]. 18 7 17 What is man [0582], that thou shouldest magnify [01431] him? and that thou shouldest set [07896] thine heart [03820] upon him? 18 7 18 And that thou shouldest visit [06485] him every morning [01242], and try [0974] him every moment [07281]? 18 7 19 How long [04100] wilt thou not depart [08159] from me, nor let me alone [07503] till I swallow down [01104] my spittle [07536]? 18 7 20 I have sinned [02398]; what shall I do [06466] unto thee, O thou preserver [05341] of men [0120]? why hast thou set [07760] me as a mark [04645] against thee, so that I am a burden [04853] to myself? 18 7 21 And why dost thou not pardon [05375] my transgression [06588], and take away [05674] mine iniquity [05771]? for now shall I sleep [07901] in the dust [06083]; and thou shalt seek me in the morning [07836], but I shall not be. 18 8 1 Then answered [06030] Bildad [01085] the Shuhite [07747], and said [0559], 18 8 2 How [0575] long [05704] wilt thou speak [04448] these things? and how long shall the words [0561] of thy mouth [06310] be like a strong [03524] wind [07307]? 18 8 3 Doth God [0410] pervert [05791] judgment [04941]? or doth the Almighty [07706] pervert [05791] justice [06664]? 18 8 4 If thy children [01121] have sinned [02398] against him, and he have cast them away [07971] for [03027] their transgression [06588]; 18 8 5 If thou wouldest seek [07836] unto God [0410] betimes [07836], and make thy supplication [02603] to the Almighty [07706]; 18 8 6 If thou wert pure [02134] and upright [03477]; surely now he would awake [05782] for thee, and make the habitation [05116] of thy righteousness [06664] prosperous [07999]. 18 8 7 Though thy beginning [07225] was small [04705], yet thy latter end [0319] should greatly [03966] increase [07685]. 18 8 8 For enquire [07592], I pray thee, of the former [07223] [07223] age [01755], and prepare [03559] thyself to the search [02714] of their fathers [01]: 18 8 9 (For we are but of yesterday [08543], and know [03045] nothing, because our days [03117] upon earth [0776] are a shadow [06738]:) 18 8 10 Shall not they teach [03384] thee, and tell [0559] thee, and utter [03318] words [04405] out of their heart [03820]? 18 8 11 Can the rush [01573] grow up [01342] without mire [01207]? can [07685] the flag [0260] grow [07685] without [01097] water [04325]? 18 8 12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness [03], and not cut down [06998], it withereth [03001] before [06440] any other herb [02682]. 18 8 13 So are the paths [0734] of all that forget [07911] God [0410]; and the hypocrite's [02611] hope [08615] shall perish [06]: 18 8 14 Whose hope [03689] shall be cut off [06990], and whose trust [04009] shall be a spider's [05908] web [01004]. 18 8 15 He shall lean [08172] upon his house [01004], but it shall not stand [05975]: he shall hold [02388] it fast, but it shall not endure [06965]. 18 8 16 He is green [07373] before [06440] the sun [08121], and his branch [03127] shooteth forth [03318] in his garden [01593]. 18 8 17 His roots [08328] are wrapped about [05440] the heap [01530], and seeth [02372] the place [01004] of stones [068]. 18 8 18 If he destroy [01104] him from his place [04725], then it shall deny [03584] him, saying, I have not seen [07200] thee. 18 8 19 Behold, this is the joy [04885] of his way [01870], and out of the earth [06083] shall others [0312] grow [06779]. 18 8 20 Behold, God [0410] will not cast away [03988] a perfect [08535] man, neither will he help [02388] [03027] the evil doers [07489]: 18 8 21 Till he fill [04390] thy mouth [06310] with laughing [07814], and thy lips [08193] with rejoicing [08643]. 18 8 22 They that hate [08130] thee shall be clothed [03847] with shame [01322]; and the dwelling [0168] place of the wicked [07563] shall come to nought [0369]. 18 9 1 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 9 2 I know [03045] it is so of a truth [0551]: but how should man [0582] be just [06663] with God [0410]? 18 9 3 If he will [02654] contend [07378] with him, he cannot answer [06030] him one [0259] of a thousand [0505]. 18 9 4 He is wise [02450] in heart [03824], and mighty [0533] in strength [03581]: who hath hardened [07185] himself against him, and hath prospered [07999]? 18 9 5 Which removeth [06275] the mountains [02022], and they know [03045] not: which overturneth [02015] them in his anger [0639]. 18 9 6 Which shaketh [07264] the earth [0776] out of her place [04725], and the pillars [05982] thereof tremble [06426]. 18 9 7 Which commandeth [0559] the sun [02775], and it riseth [02224] not; and sealeth up [02856] the stars [03556]. 18 9 8 Which alone spreadeth out [05186] the heavens [08064], and treadeth [01869] upon the waves [01116] of the sea [03220]. 18 9 9 Which maketh [06213] Arcturus [05906], Orion [03685], and Pleiades [03598], and the chambers [02315] of the south [08486]. 18 9 10 Which doeth [06213] great things [01419] past [0369] finding out [02714]; yea, and wonders [06381] without number [04557]. 18 9 11 Lo, he goeth [05674] by me, and I see [07200] him not: he passeth on [02498] also, but I perceive [0995] him not. 18 9 12 Behold, he taketh away [02862], who can hinder [07725] him? who will say [0559] unto him, What doest [06213] thou? 18 9 13 If God [0433] will not withdraw [07725] his anger [0639], the proud [07293] helpers [05826] do stoop [07817] under him. 18 9 14 How much less shall I answer [06030] him, and choose out [0977] my words [01697] to reason with him? 18 9 15 Whom, though I were righteous [06663], yet would I not answer [06030], but I would make supplication [02603] to my judge [08199]. 18 9 16 If I had called [07121], and he had answered [06030] me; yet would I not believe [0539] that he had hearkened [0238] unto my voice [06963]. 18 9 17 For he breaketh [07779] me with a tempest [08183], and multiplieth [07235] my wounds [06482] without cause [02600]. 18 9 18 He will not suffer [05414] me to take [07725] my breath [07307], but filleth [07646] me with bitterness [04472]. 18 9 19 If I speak of strength [03581], lo, he is strong [0533]: and if of judgment [04941], who shall set [03259] me a time to plead? 18 9 20 If I justify [06663] myself, mine own mouth [06310] shall condemn [07561] me: if I say, I am perfect [08535], it shall also prove me perverse [06140]. 18 9 21 Though I were perfect [08535], yet would I not know [03045] my soul [05315]: I would despise [03988] my life [02416]. 18 9 22 This is one [0259] thing, therefore I said [0559] it, He destroyeth [03615] the perfect [08535] and the wicked [07563]. 18 9 23 If the scourge [07752] slay [04191] suddenly [06597], he will laugh [03932] at the trial [04531] of the innocent [05355]. 18 9 24 The earth [0776] is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563]: he covereth [03680] the faces [06440] of the judges [08199] thereof; if not, where [0645], and who is he? 18 9 25 Now my days [03117] are swifter [07043] than a post [07323]: they flee away [01272], they see [07200] no good [02896]. 18 9 26 They are passed away [02498] as [05973] the swift [016] ships [0591]: as the eagle [05404] that hasteth [02907] to the prey [0400]. 18 9 27 If I say [0559], I will forget [07911] my complaint [07879], I will leave off [05800] my heaviness [06440], and comfort [01082] myself: 18 9 28 I am afraid [03025] of all my sorrows [06094], I know [03045] that thou wilt not hold me innocent [05352]. 18 9 29 If I be wicked [07561], why then labour [03021] I in vain [01892]? 18 9 30 If I wash [07364] myself with [07950] snow water [04325] [01119], and make my hands [03709] never [01252] [01253] so clean [02141]; 18 9 31 Yet [0227] shalt thou plunge [02881] me in the ditch [07845], and mine own clothes [08008] shall abhor [08581] me. 18 9 32 For he is not a man [0376], as I am, that I should answer [06030] him, and we should come [0935] together [03162] in judgment [04941]. 18 9 33 Neither is [03426] there any daysman [03198] betwixt us, that might lay [07896] his hand [03027] upon us both [08147]. 18 9 34 Let him take [05493] his rod [07626] away [05493] from me, and let not his fear [0367] terrify [01204] me: 18 9 35 Then would I speak [01696], and not fear [03372] him; but it is not so with me. 18 10 1 My soul [05315] is weary [05354] of my life [02416]; I will leave [05800] my complaint [07879] upon myself; I will speak [01696] in the bitterness [04751] of my soul [05315]. 18 10 2 I will say [0559] unto God [0433], Do not condemn [07561] me; shew [03045] me wherefore thou contendest [07378] with me. 18 10 3 Is it good [02895] unto thee that thou shouldest oppress [06231], that thou shouldest despise [03988] the work [03018] of thine hands [03709], and shine [03313] upon the counsel [06098] of the wicked [07563]? 18 10 4 Hast thou eyes [05869] of flesh [01320]? or seest [07200] thou as man [0582] seeth [07200]? 18 10 5 Are thy days [03117] as the days [03117] of man [0582]? are thy years [08141] as man's [01397] days [03117], 18 10 6 That thou enquirest [01245] after mine iniquity [05771], and searchest [01875] after my sin [02403]? 18 10 7 Thou knowest [01847] that I am not wicked [07561]; and there is none that can deliver [05337] out of thine hand [03027]. 18 10 8 Thine hands [03027] have made [06087] me and fashioned [06213] me together [03162] round about [05439]; yet thou dost destroy [01104] me. 18 10 9 Remember [02142], I beseech thee, that thou hast made [06213] me as the clay [02563]; and wilt thou bring [07725] me into dust [06083] again [07725]? 18 10 10 Hast thou not poured me out [05413] as milk [02461], and curdled [07087] me like cheese [01385]? 18 10 11 Thou hast clothed [03847] me with skin [05785] and flesh [01320], and hast fenced [07753] me with bones [06106] and sinews [01517]. 18 10 12 Thou hast granted [06213] me life [02416] and favour [02617], and thy visitation [06486] hath preserved [08104] my spirit [07307]. 18 10 13 And these things hast thou hid [06845] in thine heart [03824]: I know [03045] that this is with thee. 18 10 14 If I sin [02398], then thou markest [08104] me, and thou wilt not acquit [05352] me from mine iniquity [05771]. 18 10 15 If I be wicked [07561], woe [0480] unto me; and if I be righteous [06663], yet will I not lift up [05375] my head [07218]. I am full [07649] of confusion [07036]; therefore see [07202] [07200] thou mine affliction [06040]; 18 10 16 For it increaseth [01342]. Thou huntest [06679] me as a fierce lion [07826]: and again [07725] thou shewest thyself marvellous [06381] upon me. 18 10 17 Thou renewest [02318] thy witnesses [05707] against me, and increasest [07235] thine indignation [03708] upon me [05978]; changes [02487] and war [06635] are against me. 18 10 18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth [03318] out of the womb [07358]? Oh that I had given up the ghost [01478], and no eye [05869] had seen [07200] me! 18 10 19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried [02986] from the womb [0990] to the grave [06913]. 18 10 20 Are not my days [03117] few [04592]? cease [02308] [02308] then, and let me alone [07896] [07896], that I may take comfort [01082] a little [04592], 18 10 21 Before I go [03212] whence I shall not return [07725], even to the land [0776] of darkness [02822] and the shadow of death [06757]; 18 10 22 A land [0776] of darkness [05890], as darkness [0652] itself; and of the shadow of death [06757], without any order [05468], and where the light [03313] is as darkness [0652]. 18 11 1 Then answered [06030] Zophar [06691] the Naamathite [05284], and said [0559], 18 11 2 Should not the multitude [07230] of words [01697] be answered [06030]? and should a man [0376] full of talk [08193] be justified [06663]? 18 11 3 Should thy lies [0907] make [02790] men [04962] hold their peace [02790]? and when thou mockest [03932], shall no man make thee ashamed [03637]? 18 11 4 For thou hast said [0559], My doctrine [03948] is pure [02134], and I am clean [01249] in thine eyes [05869]. 18 11 5 But [0199] oh that [05414] God [0433] would speak [01696], and open [06605] his lips [08193] against thee; 18 11 6 And that he would shew [05046] thee the secrets [08587] of wisdom [02451], that they are double [03718] to that which is [08454]! Know [03045] therefore that God [0433] exacteth [05382] of thee less than thine iniquity [05771] deserveth. 18 11 7 Canst thou by searching [02714] find out [04672] God [0433]? canst thou find [04672] out the Almighty [07706] unto perfection [08503]? 18 11 8 It is as high [01363] as heaven [08064]; what canst thou do [06466]? deeper [06013] than hell [07585]; what canst thou know [03045]? 18 11 9 The measure [04055] thereof is longer [0752] than the earth [0776], and broader [07342] than the sea [03220]. 18 11 10 If he cut off [02498], and shut up [05462], or gather together [06950], then who can hinder [07725] him? 18 11 11 For he knoweth [03045] vain [07723] men [04962]: he seeth [07200] wickedness [0205] also; will he not then consider [0995] it? 18 11 12 For vain [05014] man [0376] would be wise [03823], though man [0120] be born [03205] like a wild ass's [06501] colt [05895]. 18 11 13 If thou prepare [03559] thine heart [03820], and stretch [06566] out thine hands [03709] toward him; 18 11 14 If iniquity [0205] be in thine hand [03027], put it far away [07368], and let not wickedness [05766] dwell [07931] in thy tabernacles [0168]. 18 11 15 For then shalt thou lift up [05375] thy face [06440] without spot [03971]; yea, thou shalt be stedfast [03332], and shalt not fear [03372]: 18 11 16 Because thou shalt forget [07911] thy misery [05999], and remember [02142] it as waters [04325] that pass away [05674]: 18 11 17 And thine age [02465] shall be clearer [06965] than the noonday [06672]; thou shalt shine forth [05774], thou shalt be as the morning [01242]. 18 11 18 And thou shalt be secure [0982], because there is [03426] hope [08615]; yea, thou shalt dig [02658] about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest [07901] in safety [0983]. 18 11 19 Also thou shalt lie down [07257], and none shall make thee afraid [02729]; yea, many [07227] shall make suit [02470] unto thee [06440]. 18 11 20 But the eyes [05869] of the wicked [07563] shall fail [03615], and they shall not escape [06] [04498], and their hope [08615] shall be as the giving up [04646] of the ghost [05315]. 18 12 1 And Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 12 2 No doubt [0551] but ye are the people [05971], and wisdom [02451] shall die [04191] with you. 18 12 3 But [01571] I have understanding [03824] as well as you; I am not inferior [05307] to you: yea, who knoweth not such things [03644] as these? 18 12 4 I am as one mocked [07814] of his neighbour [07453], who calleth [07121] upon God [0433], and he answereth [06030] him: the just [06662] upright [08549] man is laughed to scorn [07814]. 18 12 5 He that is ready [03559] to slip [04571] with his feet [07272] is as a lamp [03940] despised [0937] in the thought [06248] of him that is at ease [07600]. 18 12 6 The tabernacles [0168] of robbers [07703] prosper [07951], and they that provoke [07264] God [0410] are secure [0987]; into whose hand [03027] God [0433] bringeth [0935] abundantly. 18 12 7 But [0199] ask [07592] now the beasts [0929], and they shall teach [03384] thee; and the fowls [05775] of the air [08064], and they shall tell [05046] thee: 18 12 8 Or speak [07878] to the earth [0776], and it shall teach [03384] thee: and the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220] shall declare [05608] unto thee. 18 12 9 Who knoweth [03045] not in all these that the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] hath wrought [06213] this? 18 12 10 In whose hand [03027] is the soul [05315] of every living thing [02416], and the breath [07307] of all mankind [0376] [01320]. 18 12 11 Doth not the ear [0241] try [0974] words [04405]? and the mouth [02441] taste [02938] his meat [0400]? 18 12 12 With the ancient [03453] is wisdom [02451]; and in length [0753] of days [03117] understanding [08394]. 18 12 13 With him is wisdom [02451] and strength [01369], he hath counsel [06098] and understanding [08394]. 18 12 14 Behold, he breaketh down [02040], and it cannot be built again [01129]: he shutteth up [05462] a man [0376], and there can be no opening [06605]. 18 12 15 Behold, he withholdeth [06113] the waters [04325], and they dry up [03001]: also he sendeth them out [07971], and they overturn [02015] the earth [0776]. 18 12 16 With him is strength [05797] and wisdom [08454]: the deceived [07683] and the deceiver [07686] are his. 18 12 17 He leadeth [03212] counsellors [03289] away spoiled [07758], and maketh the judges [08199] fools [01984]. 18 12 18 He looseth [06605] the bond [04148] of kings [04428], and girdeth [0631] their loins [04975] with a girdle [0232]. 18 12 19 He leadeth [03212] princes [03548] away spoiled [07758], and overthroweth [05557] the mighty [0386]. 18 12 20 He removeth away [05493] the speech [08193] of the trusty [0539], and taketh away [03947] the understanding [02940] of the aged [02205]. 18 12 21 He poureth [08210] contempt [0937] upon princes [05081], and weakeneth [07503] the strength [04206] of the mighty [0650]. 18 12 22 He discovereth [01540] deep things [06013] out of darkness [02822], and bringeth out [03318] to light [0216] the shadow of death [06757]. 18 12 23 He increaseth [07679] the nations [01471], and destroyeth [06] them: he enlargeth [07849] the nations [01471], and straiteneth [05148] them again. 18 12 24 He taketh away [05493] the heart [03820] of the chief [07218] of the people [05971] of the earth [0776], and causeth them to wander [08582] in a wilderness [08414] where there is no way [01870]. 18 12 25 They grope [04959] in the dark [02822] without light [0216], and he maketh them to stagger [08582] like a drunken [07910] man. 18 13 1 Lo, mine eye [05869] hath seen [07200] all this, mine ear [0241] hath heard [08085] and understood [0995] it. 18 13 2 What ye know [01847], the same do I know [03045] also: I am not inferior [05307] unto you. 18 13 3 Surely [0199] I would speak [01696] to the Almighty [07706], and I desire [02654] to reason [03198] with God [0410]. 18 13 4 But [0199] ye are forgers [02950] of lies [08267], ye are all physicians [07495] of no value [0457]. 18 13 5 O that [05414] ye would altogether [02790] hold your peace [02790] ! and it should be your wisdom [02451]. 18 13 6 Hear [08085] now my reasoning [08433], and hearken [07181] to the pleadings [07379] of my lips [08193]. 18 13 7 Will ye speak [01696] wickedly [05766] for God [0410]? and talk [01696] deceitfully [07423] for him? 18 13 8 Will ye accept [05375] his person [06440]? will ye contend [07378] for God [0410]? 18 13 9 Is it good [02895] that he should search you out [02713]? or as one man [0582] mocketh [02048] another, do ye so mock [02048] him? 18 13 10 He will surely [03198] reprove [03198] you, if ye do secretly [05643] accept [05375] persons [06440]. 18 13 11 Shall not his excellency [07613] make you afraid [01204]? and his dread [06343] fall [05307] upon you? 18 13 12 Your remembrances [02146] are like [04912] unto ashes [0665], your bodies [01354] to bodies [01354] of clay [02563]. 18 13 13 Hold your peace [02790], let me alone, that I may speak [01696], and let come [05674] on me what will. 18 13 14 Wherefore do I take [05375] my flesh [01320] in my teeth [08127], and put [07760] my life [05315] in mine hand [03709]? 18 13 15 Though [02005] he slay [06991] me, yet will I trust [03176] in him: but I will maintain [03198] mine own ways [01870] before [06440] him. 18 13 16 He also shall be my salvation [03444]: for an hypocrite [02611] shall not come [0935] before [06440] him. 18 13 17 Hear [08085] diligently [08085] my speech [04405], and my declaration [0262] with your ears [0241]. 18 13 18 Behold now, I have ordered [06186] my cause [04941]; I know [03045] that I shall be justified [06663]. 18 13 19 Who is he that will plead [07378] with me? for now, if I hold my tongue [02790], I shall give up the ghost [01478]. 18 13 20 Only do [06213] not two [08147] things unto me: then will I not hide [05641] myself from thee [06440]. 18 13 21 Withdraw [07368] thine hand [03709] far [07368] from me: and let not thy dread [0367] make me afraid [01204]. 18 13 22 Then call [07121] thou, and I will answer [06030]: or let me speak [01696], and answer [07725] thou me. 18 13 23 How many are mine iniquities [05771] and sins [02403]? make me to know [03045] my transgression [06588] and my sin [02403]. 18 13 24 Wherefore hidest [05641] thou thy face [06440], and holdest [02803] me for thine enemy [0341]? 18 13 25 Wilt thou break [06206] a leaf [05929] driven to and fro [05086]? and wilt thou pursue [07291] the dry [03002] stubble [07179]? 18 13 26 For thou writest [03789] bitter things [04846] against me, and makest me to possess [03423] the iniquities [05771] of my youth [05271]. 18 13 27 Thou puttest [07760] my feet [07272] also in the stocks [05465], and lookest narrowly [08104] unto all my paths [0734]; thou settest a print [02707] upon the heels [08328] of my feet [07272]. 18 13 28 And he, as a rotten thing [07538], consumeth [01086], as a garment [0899] that is moth [06211] eaten [0398]. 18 14 1 Man [0120] that is born [03205] of a woman [0802] is of few [07116] days [03117], and full [07649] of trouble [07267]. 18 14 2 He cometh forth [03318] like a flower [06731], and is cut down [05243]: he fleeth [01272] also as a shadow [06738], and continueth [05975] not. 18 14 3 And dost thou open [06491] thine eyes [05869] upon such an one [02088], and bringest [0935] me into judgment [04941] with thee? 18 14 4 Who can bring [05414] a clean [02889] thing out of an unclean [02931]? not one [0259]. 18 14 5 Seeing [0518] his days [03117] are determined [02782], the number [04557] of his months [02320] are with thee, thou hast appointed [06213] his bounds [02706] that he cannot pass [05674]; 18 14 6 Turn [08159] from him, that he may rest [02308], till he shall accomplish [07521], as an hireling [07916], his day [03117]. 18 14 7 For there is [03426] hope [08615] of a tree [06086], if it be cut down [03772], that it will sprout again [02498], and that the tender branch [03127] thereof will not cease [02308]. 18 14 8 Though the root [08328] thereof wax old [02204] in the earth [0776], and the stock [01503] thereof die [04191] in the ground [06083]; 18 14 9 Yet through the scent [07381] of water [04325] it will bud [06524], and bring forth [06213] boughs [07105] like a plant [05194]. 18 14 10 But man [01397] dieth [04191], and wasteth away [02522]: yea, man [0120] giveth up the ghost [01478], and where is he? 18 14 11 As the waters [04325] fail [0235] from the sea [03220], and the flood [05104] decayeth [02717] and drieth up [03001]: 18 14 12 So man [0376] lieth down [07901], and riseth [06965] not: till the heavens [08064] be no more [01115], they shall not awake [06974], nor be raised out [05782] of their sleep [08142]. 18 14 13 O that [05414] thou wouldest hide [06845] me in the grave [07585], that thou wouldest keep me secret [05641], until thy wrath [0639] be past [07725], that thou wouldest appoint [07896] me a set time [02706], and remember [02142] me! 18 14 14 If a man [01397] die [04191], shall he live [02421] again? all the days [03117] of my appointed time [06635] will I wait [03176], till my change [02487] come [0935]. 18 14 15 Thou shalt call [07121], and I will answer [06030] thee: thou wilt have a desire [03700] to the work [04639] of thine hands [03027]. 18 14 16 For now thou numberest [05608] my steps [06806]: dost thou not watch [08104] over my sin [02403]? 18 14 17 My transgression [06588] is sealed up [02856] in a bag [06872], and thou sewest up [02950] mine iniquity [05771]. 18 14 18 And surely [0199] the mountain [02022] falling [05307] cometh to nought [05034], and the rock [06697] is removed [06275] out of his place [04725]. 18 14 19 The waters [04325] wear [07833] the stones [068]: thou washest away [07857] the things which grow [05599] out of the dust [06083] of the earth [0776]; and thou destroyest [06] the hope [08615] of man [0582]. 18 14 20 Thou prevailest [08630] for ever [05331] against him, and he passeth [01980]: thou changest [08138] his countenance [06440], and sendest him away [07971]. 18 14 21 His sons [01121] come to honour [03513], and he knoweth [03045] it not; and they are brought low [06819], but he perceiveth [0995] it not of them. 18 14 22 But his flesh [01320] upon him shall have pain [03510], and his soul [05315] within him shall mourn [056]. 18 15 1 Then answered [06030] Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489], and said [0559], 18 15 2 Should a wise man [02450] utter [06030] vain [07307] knowledge [01847], and fill [04390] his belly [0990] with the east wind [06921]? 18 15 3 Should he reason [03198] with unprofitable [05532] talk [01697]? or with speeches [04405] wherewith he can do no good [03276]? 18 15 4 Yea, thou castest off [06565] fear [03374], and restrainest [01639] prayer [07881] before [06440] God [0410]. 18 15 5 For thy mouth [06310] uttereth [0502] thine iniquity [05771], and thou choosest [0977] the tongue [03956] of the crafty [06175]. 18 15 6 Thine own mouth [06310] condemneth [07561] thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips [08193] testify [06030] against thee. 18 15 7 Art thou the first [07223] [07223] man [0120] that was born [03205]? or wast thou made [02342] before [06440] the hills [01389]? 18 15 8 Hast thou heard [08085] the secret [05475] of God [0433]? and dost thou restrain [01639] wisdom [02451] to thyself? 18 15 9 What knowest [03045] thou, that we know [03045] not? what understandest [0995] thou, which is not in us? 18 15 10 With us are both the grayheaded [07867] and very aged [03453] men, much [03524] elder [03117] than thy father [01]. 18 15 11 Are the consolations [08575] of God [0410] small [04592] with thee? is there any secret [0328] thing [01697] with thee? 18 15 12 Why doth thine heart [03820] carry thee away [03947]? and what do thy eyes [05869] wink at [07335], 18 15 13 That thou turnest [07725] thy spirit [07307] against God [0410], and lettest such words [04405] go out [03318] of thy mouth [06310]? 18 15 14 What is man [0582], that he should be clean [02135]? and he which is born [03205] of a woman [0802], that he should be righteous [06663]? 18 15 15 Behold, he putteth no trust [0539] in his saints [06918]; yea, the heavens [08064] are not clean [02141] in his sight [05869]. 18 15 16 How much more abominable [08581] and filthy [0444] is man [0376], which drinketh [08354] iniquity [05766] [05766] like water [04325]? 18 15 17 I will shew [02331] thee, hear [08085] me; and that which I have seen [02372] I will declare [05608]; 18 15 18 Which wise [02450] men have told [05046] from their fathers [01], and have not hid [03582] it: 18 15 19 Unto whom alone the earth [0776] was given [05414], and no stranger [02114] passed [05674] among [08432] them. 18 15 20 The wicked [07563] man travaileth [02342] with pain all his days [03117], and the number [04557] of years [08141] is hidden [06845] to the oppressor [06184]. 18 15 21 A dreadful [06343] sound [06963] is in his ears [0241]: in prosperity [07965] the destroyer [07703] shall come [0935] upon him. 18 15 22 He believeth [0539] not that he shall return [07725] out of darkness [02822], and he is waited [06822] for of the sword [02719]. 18 15 23 He wandereth abroad [05074] for bread [03899], saying, Where is it? he knoweth [03045] that the day [03117] of darkness [02822] is ready [03559] at his hand [03027]. 18 15 24 Trouble [06862] and anguish [04691] shall make him afraid [01204]; they shall prevail [08630] against him, as a king [04428] ready [06264] to the battle [03593]. 18 15 25 For he stretcheth out [05186] his hand [03027] against God [0410], and strengtheneth [01396] himself against the Almighty [07706]. 18 15 26 He runneth [07323] upon him, even on his neck [06677], upon the thick [05672] bosses [01354] of his bucklers [04043]: 18 15 27 Because he covereth [03680] his face [06440] with his fatness [02459], and maketh [06213] collops of fat [06371] on his flanks [03689]. 18 15 28 And he dwelleth [07931] in desolate [03582] cities [05892], and in houses [01004] which no man inhabiteth [03427], which are ready [06257] to become heaps [01530]. 18 15 29 He shall not be rich [06238], neither shall his substance [02428] continue [06965], neither shall he prolong [05186] the perfection [04512] thereof upon the earth [0776]. 18 15 30 He shall not depart [05493] out of darkness [02822]; the flame [07957] shall dry up [03001] his branches [03127], and by the breath [07307] of his mouth [06310] shall he go away [05493]. 18 15 31 Let not him that is deceived [08582] trust [0539] in vanity [07723]: for vanity [07723] shall be his recompence [08545]. 18 15 32 It shall be accomplished [04390] before [03808] his time [03117], and his branch [03712] shall not be green [07488]. 18 15 33 He shall shake off [02554] his unripe grape [01154] as the vine [01612], and shall cast off [07993] his flower [05328] as the olive [02132]. 18 15 34 For the congregation [05712] of hypocrites [02611] shall be desolate [01565], and fire [0784] shall consume [0398] the tabernacles [0168] of bribery [07810]. 18 15 35 They conceive [02029] mischief [05999], and bring forth [03205] vanity [0205], and their belly [0990] prepareth [03559] deceit [04820]. 18 16 1 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 16 2 I have heard [08085] many such things [07227]: miserable [05999] comforters [05162] are ye all. 18 16 3 Shall vain [07307] words [01697] have an end [07093]? or what emboldeneth [04834] thee that thou answerest [06030]? 18 16 4 I also could speak [01696] as ye do: if [03863] your soul [05315] were [03426] in my soul's [05315] stead, I could heap up [02266] words [04405] against you, and shake [05128] mine head [07218] at [01119] you. 18 16 5 But I would strengthen [0553] you with [01119] my mouth [06310], and the moving [05205] of my lips [08193] should asswage [02820] your grief. 18 16 6 Though I speak [01696], my grief [03511] is not asswaged [02820]: and though I forbear [02308], what am I eased [01980]? 18 16 7 But now he hath made me weary [03811]: thou hast made desolate [08074] all my company [05712]. 18 16 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles [07059], which is a witness [05707] against me: and my leanness [03585] rising up [06965] in me beareth witness [06030] to my face [06440]. 18 16 9 He teareth [02963] me in his wrath [0639], who hateth [07852] me: he gnasheth [02786] upon me with his teeth [08127]; mine enemy [06862] sharpeneth [03913] his eyes [05869] upon me. 18 16 10 They have gaped [06473] upon me with their mouth [06310]; they have smitten [05221] me upon the cheek [03895] reproachfully [02781]; they have gathered [04390] themselves together [03162] against me. 18 16 11 God [0410] hath delivered [05462] me to the ungodly [05760], and turned me over [03399] into the hands [03027] of the wicked [07563]. 18 16 12 I was at ease [07961], but he hath broken me asunder [06565]: he hath also taken [0270] me by my neck [06203], and shaken me to pieces [06327], and set me up [06965] for his mark [04307]. 18 16 13 His archers [07228] compass me round about [05437], he cleaveth [06398] my reins [03629] asunder [06398], and doth not spare [02550]; he poureth out [08210] my gall [04845] upon the ground [0776]. 18 16 14 He breaketh [06555] me with breach [06556] upon [06440] breach [06556], he runneth [07323] upon me like a giant [01368]. 18 16 15 I have sewed [08609] sackcloth [08242] upon my skin [01539], and defiled [05953] my horn [07161] in the dust [06083]. 18 16 16 My face [06440] is foul [02560] with weeping [01065], and on my eyelids [06079] is the shadow of death [06757]; 18 16 17 Not for any injustice [02555] in mine hands [03709]: also my prayer [08605] is pure [02134]. 18 16 18 O earth [0776], cover [03680] not thou my blood [01818], and let my cry [02201] have no place [04725]. 18 16 19 Also now, behold, my witness [05707] is in heaven [08064], and my record [07717] is on high [04791]. 18 16 20 My friends [07453] scorn [03887] me: but mine eye [05869] poureth out [01811] tears unto God [0433]. 18 16 21 O that one might plead [03198] for a man [01397] with God [0433], as a man [0120] pleadeth for his neighbour [01121] [07453]! 18 16 22 When a few [04557] years [08141] are come [0857], then I shall go [01980] the way [0734] whence I shall not return [07725]. 18 17 1 My breath [07307] is corrupt [02254], my days [03117] are extinct [02193], the graves [06913] are ready for me. 18 17 2 Are there not mockers [02049] with me? and doth not mine eye [05869] continue [03885] in their provocation [04784]? 18 17 3 Lay down [07760] now, put me in a surety [06148] with thee; who is he that will strike [08628] hands [03027] with me? 18 17 4 For thou hast hid [06845] their heart [03820] from understanding [07922]: therefore shalt thou not exalt [07311] them. 18 17 5 He that speaketh [05046] flattery [02506] to his friends [07453], even the eyes [05869] of his children [01121] shall fail [03615]. 18 17 6 He hath made [03322] me also a byword [04914] of the people [05971]; and aforetime [06440] I was as a tabret [08611]. 18 17 7 Mine eye [05869] also is dim [03543] by reason of sorrow [03708], and all my members [03338] are as a shadow [06738]. 18 17 8 Upright [03477] men shall be astonied [08074] at this, and the innocent [05355] shall stir up [05782] himself against the hypocrite [02611]. 18 17 9 The righteous [06662] also shall hold [0270] on his way [01870], and he that hath clean [02890] hands [03027] shall be [03254] stronger and stronger [0555]. 18 17 10 But [0199] as for you all, do ye return [07725], and come now [0935]: for I cannot find [04672] one wise [02450] man among you. 18 17 11 My days [03117] are past [05674], my purposes [02154] are broken off [05423], even the thoughts [04180] of my heart [03824]. 18 17 12 They change [07760] the night [03915] into day [03117]: the light [0216] is short [07138] because [06440] of darkness [02822]. 18 17 13 If I wait [06960], the grave [07585] is mine house [01004]: I have made [07502] my bed [03326] in the darkness [02822]. 18 17 14 I have said [07121] to corruption [07845], Thou art my father [01]: to the worm [07415], Thou art my mother [0517], and my sister [0269]. 18 17 15 And where is now [0645] my hope [08615]? as for my hope [08615], who shall see [07789] it? 18 17 16 They shall go down [03381] to the bars [0905] of the pit [07585], when our rest [05183] together [03162] is in the dust [06083]. 18 18 1 Then answered [06030] Bildad [01085] the Shuhite [07747], and said [0559], 18 18 2 How long [05704] will it be ere ye make [07760] an end [07078] of words [04405]? mark [0995], and afterwards [0310] we will speak [01696]. 18 18 3 Wherefore are we counted [02803] as beasts [0929], and reputed vile [02933] in your sight [05869]? 18 18 4 He teareth [02963] himself [05315] in his anger [0639]: shall the earth [0776] be forsaken [05800] for thee? and shall the rock [06697] be removed [06275] out of his place [04725]? 18 18 5 Yea, the light [0216] of the wicked [07563] shall be put out [01846], and the spark [07632] of his fire [0784] shall not shine [05050]. 18 18 6 The light [0216] shall be dark [02821] in his tabernacle [0168], and his candle [05216] shall be put out [01846] with him. 18 18 7 The steps [06806] of his strength [0202] shall be straitened [03334], and his own counsel [06098] shall cast him down [07993]. 18 18 8 For he is cast [07971] into a net [07568] by his own feet [07272], and he walketh [01980] upon a snare [07639]. 18 18 9 The gin [06341] shall take [0270] him by the heel [06119], and the robber [06782] shall prevail [02388] against him. 18 18 10 The snare [02256] is laid [02934] for him in the ground [0776], and a trap [04434] for him in the way [05410]. 18 18 11 Terrors [01091] shall make him afraid [01204] on every side [05439], and shall drive [06327] him to his feet [07272]. 18 18 12 His strength [0202] shall be hungerbitten [07457], and destruction [0343] shall be ready [03559] at his side [06763]. 18 18 13 It shall devour [0398] the strength [0905] of his skin [05785]: even the firstborn [01060] of death [04194] shall devour [0398] his strength [0905]. 18 18 14 His confidence [04009] shall be rooted out [05423] of his tabernacle [0168], and it shall bring [06805] him to the king [04428] of terrors [01091]. 18 18 15 It shall dwell [07931] in his tabernacle [0168], because it is none [01097] of his: brimstone [01614] shall be scattered [02219] upon his habitation [05116]. 18 18 16 His roots [08328] shall be dried up [03001] beneath, and above [04605] shall his branch [07105] be cut off [05243]. 18 18 17 His remembrance [02143] shall perish [06] from the earth [0776], and he shall have no name [08034] in the street [06440] [02351]. 18 18 18 He shall be driven [01920] from light [0216] into darkness [02822], and chased [05074] out of the world [08398]. 18 18 19 He shall neither have son [05209] nor nephew [05220] among his people [05971], nor any remaining [08300] in his dwellings [04033]. 18 18 20 They that come after [0314] him shall be astonied [08074] at his day [03117], as they that went before [06931] were affrighted [0270] [08178]. 18 18 21 Surely such are the dwellings [04908] of the wicked [05767], and this is the place [04725] of him that knoweth [03045] not God [0410]. 18 19 1 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 19 2 How long will ye vex [03013] my soul [05315], and break [01792] me in pieces with words [04405]? 18 19 3 These ten [06235] times [06471] have ye reproached [03637] me: ye are not ashamed [0954] that ye make yourselves strange [01970] to me. 18 19 4 And be it indeed [0551] that I have erred [07686], mine error [04879] remaineth [03885] with myself. 18 19 5 If indeed [0551] ye will magnify [01431] yourselves against me, and plead [03198] against me my reproach [02781]: 18 19 6 Know [03045] now [0645] that God [0433] hath overthrown [05791] me, and hath compassed [05362] me with his net [04686]. 18 19 7 Behold, I cry out [06817] of wrong [02555], but I am not heard [06030]: I cry aloud [07768], but there is no judgment [04941]. 18 19 8 He hath fenced up [01443] my way [0734] that I cannot pass [05674], and he hath set [07760] darkness [02822] in my paths [05410]. 18 19 9 He hath stripped [06584] me of my glory [03519], and taken [05493] the crown [05850] from my head [07218]. 18 19 10 He hath destroyed [05422] me on every side [05439], and I am gone [03212]: and mine hope [08615] hath he removed [05265] like a tree [06086]. 18 19 11 He hath also kindled [02734] his wrath [0639] against me, and he counteth [02803] me unto him as one of his enemies [06862]. 18 19 12 His troops [01416] come [0935] together [03162], and raise up [05549] their way [01870] against me, and encamp [02583] round about [05439] my tabernacle [0168]. 18 19 13 He hath put [07368] my brethren [0251] far [07368] from me, and mine acquaintance [03045] are verily estranged [02114] from me. 18 19 14 My kinsfolk [07138] have failed [02308], and my familiar friends [03045] have forgotten [07911] me. 18 19 15 They that dwell [01481] in mine house [01004], and my maids [0519], count [02803] me for a stranger [02114]: I am an alien [05237] in their sight [05869]. 18 19 16 I called [07121] my servant [05650], and he gave me no answer [06030]; I intreated [02603] him with [01119] my mouth [06310]. 18 19 17 My breath [07307] is strange [02114] to my wife [0802], though I intreated [02589] for the children's [01121] sake of mine own body [0990]. 18 19 18 Yea, young children [05759] despised [03988] me; I arose [06965], and they spake [01696] against me. 18 19 19 All my inward [05475] friends [04962] abhorred [08581] me: and they whom I loved [0157] are turned [02015] against me. 18 19 20 My bone [06106] cleaveth [01692] to my skin [05785] and to my flesh [01320], and I am escaped [04422] with the skin [05785] of my teeth [08127]. 18 19 21 Have pity [02603] upon me, have pity [02603] upon me, O ye my friends [07453]; for the hand [03027] of God [0433] hath touched [05060] me. 18 19 22 Why do ye persecute [07291] me as God [0410], and are not satisfied [07646] with my flesh [01320]? 18 19 23 Oh that [05414] my words [04405] were now [0645] written [03789] ! oh that [05414] they were printed [02710] in a book [05612]! 18 19 24 That they were graven [02672] with an iron [01270] pen [05842] and lead [05777] in the rock [06697] for ever [05703]! 18 19 25 For I know [03045] that my redeemer [01350] liveth [02416], and that he shall stand [06965] at the latter [0314] day upon the earth [06083]: 18 19 26 And though after [0310] my skin [05785] worms destroy [05362] this body, yet in my flesh [01320] shall I see [02372] God [0433]: 18 19 27 Whom I shall see [02372] for myself, and mine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200], and not another [02114]; though my reins [03629] be consumed [03615] within [02436] me. 18 19 28 But ye should say [0559], Why persecute [07291] we him, seeing the root [08328] of the matter [01697] is found [04672] in me? 18 19 29 Be ye afraid [01481] of the sword [02719]: for wrath [02534] bringeth the punishments [05771] of [06440] the sword [02719], that ye may know [03045] there is a judgment [01779] [01779]. 18 20 1 Then answered [06030] Zophar [06691] the Naamathite [05284], and said [0559], 18 20 2 Therefore do my thoughts [05587] cause me to answer [07725], and for this I make haste [02363]. 18 20 3 I have heard [08085] the check [04148] of my reproach [03639], and the spirit [07307] of my understanding [0998] causeth me to answer [06030]. 18 20 4 Knowest [03045] thou not this of old [05703], since man [0120] was placed [07760] upon earth [0776], 18 20 5 That the triumphing [07445] of the wicked [07563] is short [07138], and the joy [08057] of the hypocrite [02611] but for a moment [07281]? 18 20 6 Though his excellency [07863] mount up [05927] to the heavens [08064], and his head [07218] reach [05060] unto the clouds [05645]; 18 20 7 Yet he shall perish [06] for ever [05331] like his own dung [01561]: they which have seen [07200] him shall say [0559], Where [0335] is he? 18 20 8 He shall fly away [05774] as a dream [02472], and shall not be found [04672]: yea, he shall be chased away [05074] as a vision [02384] of the night [03915]. 18 20 9 The eye [05869] also which saw [07805] him shall see him no more [03254]; neither shall his place [04725] any more behold [07789] him. 18 20 10 His children [01121] shall seek to please [07521] the poor [01800], and his hands [03027] shall restore [07725] their goods [0202]. 18 20 11 His bones [06106] are full [04390] of the sin of his youth [05934], which shall lie down [07901] with him in the dust [06083]. 18 20 12 Though wickedness [07451] be sweet [04985] in his mouth [06310], though he hide [03582] it under his tongue [03956]; 18 20 13 Though he spare [02550] it, and forsake [05800] it not; but keep it still [04513] within [08432] his mouth [02441]: 18 20 14 Yet his meat [03899] in his bowels [04578] is turned [02015], it is the gall [04846] of asps [06620] within [07130] him. 18 20 15 He hath swallowed down [01104] riches [02428], and he shall vomit them up again [06958]: God [0410] shall cast them out [03423] of his belly [0990]. 18 20 16 He shall suck [03243] the poison [07219] of asps [06620]: the viper's [0660] tongue [03956] shall slay [02026] him. 18 20 17 He shall not see [07200] the rivers [06390], the floods [05104], the brooks [05158] of honey [01706] and butter [02529]. 18 20 18 That which he laboured [03022] for shall he restore [07725], and shall not swallow it down [01104]: according to his substance [02428] shall the restitution [08545] be, and he shall not rejoice [05965] therein. 18 20 19 Because he hath oppressed [07533] and hath forsaken [05800] the poor [01800]; because he hath violently taken away [01497] an house [01004] which he builded [01129] not; 18 20 20 Surely he shall not feel [03045] quietness [07961] in his belly [0990], he shall not save [04422] of that which he desired [02530]. 18 20 21 There shall none of his meat [0400] be left [08300]; therefore shall no man look [02342] for his goods [02898]. 18 20 22 In the fulness [04390] [04390] of his sufficiency [05607] he shall be in straits [03334]: every hand [03027] of the wicked [06001] shall come [0935] upon him. 18 20 23 When he is about to fill [04390] his belly [0990], God shall cast [07971] the fury [02740] of his wrath [0639] upon him, and shall rain [04305] it upon him while he is eating [03894]. 18 20 24 He shall flee [01272] from the iron [01270] weapon [05402], and the bow [07198] of steel [05154] shall strike him through [02498]. 18 20 25 It is drawn [08025], and cometh out [03318] of the body [01465]; yea, the glittering sword [01300] cometh out [01980] of his gall [04846]: terrors [0367] are upon him. 18 20 26 All darkness [02822] shall be hid [02934] in his secret places [06845]: a fire [0784] not blown [05301] shall consume [0398] him; it shall go ill [03415] with him that is left [08300] in his tabernacle [0168]. 18 20 27 The heaven [08064] shall reveal [01540] his iniquity [05771]; and the earth [0776] shall rise up [06965] against him. 18 20 28 The increase [02981] of his house [01004] shall depart [01540], and his goods shall flow away [05064] in the day [03117] of his wrath [0639]. 18 20 29 This is the portion [02506] of a wicked [07563] man [0120] from God [0430], and the heritage [05159] appointed [0561] unto him by God [0410]. 18 21 1 But Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 21 2 Hear [08085] diligently [08085] my speech [04405], and let this be your consolations [08575]. 18 21 3 Suffer [05375] me that I may speak [01696]; and after [0310] that I have spoken [01696], mock on [03932]. 18 21 4 As for me, is my complaint [07879] to man [0120]? and if it were so, why should not my spirit [07307] be troubled [07114]? 18 21 5 Mark [06437] me, and be astonished [08074], and lay [07760] your hand [03027] upon your mouth [06310]. 18 21 6 Even when I remember [02142] I am afraid [0926], and trembling [06427] taketh hold on [0270] my flesh [01320]. 18 21 7 Wherefore do the wicked [07563] live [02421], become old [06275], yea, are mighty [01396] in power [02428]? 18 21 8 Their seed [02233] is established [03559] in their sight [06440] with them, and their offspring [06631] before their eyes [05869]. 18 21 9 Their houses [01004] are safe [07965] from fear [06343], neither is the rod [07626] of God [0433] upon them. 18 21 10 Their bull [07794] gendereth [05674], and faileth [01602] not; their cow [06510] calveth [06403], and casteth not her calf [07921]. 18 21 11 They send forth [07971] their little ones [05759] like a flock [06629], and their children [03206] dance [07540]. 18 21 12 They take [05375] the timbrel [08596] and harp [03658], and rejoice [08055] at the sound [06963] of the organ [05748]. 18 21 13 They spend [03615] [01086] their days [03117] in wealth [02896], and in a moment [07281] go down [02865] [05181] to the grave [07585]. 18 21 14 Therefore they say [0559] unto God [0410], Depart [05493] from us; for we desire [02654] not the knowledge [01847] of thy ways [01870]. 18 21 15 What is the Almighty [07706], that we should serve [05647] him? and what profit [03276] should we have, if we pray [06293] unto him? 18 21 16 Lo, their good [02898] is not in their hand [03027]: the counsel [06098] of the wicked [07563] is far [07368] from me. 18 21 17 How oft is the candle [05216] of the wicked [07563] put out [01846] ! and how oft cometh [0935] their destruction [0343] upon them! God distributeth [02505] sorrows [02256] in his anger [0639]. 18 21 18 They are as stubble [08401] before [06440] the wind [07307], and as chaff [04671] that the storm [05492] carrieth away [01589]. 18 21 19 God [0433] layeth up [06845] his iniquity [0205] for his children [01121]: he rewardeth [07999] him, and he shall know [03045] it. 18 21 20 His eyes [05869] shall see [07200] his destruction [03589], and he shall drink [08354] of the wrath [02534] of the Almighty [07706]. 18 21 21 For what pleasure [02656] hath he in his house [01004] after [0310] him, when the number [04557] of his months [02320] is cut off in the midst [02686]? 18 21 22 Shall any teach [03925] God [0410] knowledge [01847]? seeing he judgeth [08199] those that are high [07311]. 18 21 23 One dieth [04191] in his full [08537] strength [06106], being wholly at ease [07946] and quiet [07961]. 18 21 24 His breasts [05845] are full [04390] of milk [02461], and his bones [06106] are moistened [08248] with marrow [04221]. 18 21 25 And another dieth [04191] in the bitterness [04751] of his soul [05315], and never eateth [0398] with pleasure [02896]. 18 21 26 They shall lie down [07901] alike [03162] in the dust [06083], and the worms [07415] shall cover [03680] them. 18 21 27 Behold, I know [03045] your thoughts [04284], and the devices [04209] which ye wrongfully imagine [02554] against me. 18 21 28 For ye say [0559], Where is the house [01004] of the prince [05081]? and where are the dwelling [04908] places [0168] of the wicked [07563]? 18 21 29 Have ye not asked [07592] them that go [05674] by the way [01870]? and do ye not know [05234] their tokens [0226], 18 21 30 That the wicked [07451] is reserved [02820] to the day [03117] of destruction [0343]? they shall be brought forth [02986] to the day [03117] of wrath [05678]. 18 21 31 Who shall declare [05046] his way [01870] to his face [06440]? and who shall repay [07999] him what he hath done [06213]? 18 21 32 Yet shall he be brought [02986] to the grave [06913], and shall remain [08245] in the tomb [01430]. 18 21 33 The clods [07263] of the valley [05158] shall be sweet [04985] unto him, and every man [0120] shall draw [04900] after [0310] him, as there are innumerable [04557] before [06440] him. 18 21 34 How then comfort [05162] ye me in vain [01892], seeing in your answers [08666] there remaineth [07604] falsehood [04604]? 18 22 1 Then Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 22 2 Can a man [01397] be profitable [05532] unto God [0410], as [03588] he that is wise [07919] may be profitable [05532] unto himself? 18 22 3 Is it any pleasure [02656] to the Almighty [07706], that thou art righteous [06663]? or is it gain [01215] to him, that thou makest thy ways [01870] perfect [08552]? 18 22 4 Will he reprove [03198] thee for fear [03374] of thee? will he enter [0935] with thee into judgment [04941]? 18 22 5 Is not thy wickedness [07451] great [07227]? and thine iniquities [05771] infinite [07093]? 18 22 6 For thou hast taken a pledge [02254] from thy brother [0251] for nought [02600], and stripped [06584] the naked [06174] of their clothing [0899]. 18 22 7 Thou hast not given water [04325] to the weary [05889] to drink [08248], and thou hast withholden [04513] bread [03899] from the hungry [07457]. 18 22 8 But as for the mighty [02220] man [0376], he had the earth [0776]; and the honourable man [05375] [06440] dwelt [03427] in it. 18 22 9 Thou hast sent [07971] widows [0490] away empty [07387], and the arms [02220] of the fatherless [03490] have been broken [01792]. 18 22 10 Therefore snares [06341] are round about [05439] thee, and sudden [06597] fear [06343] troubleth [0926] thee; 18 22 11 Or darkness [02822], that thou canst not see [07200]; and abundance [08229] of waters [04325] cover [03680] thee. 18 22 12 Is not God [0433] in the height [01363] of heaven [08064]? and behold [07200] the height [07218] of the stars [03556], how high [07311] they are! 18 22 13 And thou sayest [0559], How doth God [0410] know [03045]? can he judge [08199] through the dark cloud [06205]? 18 22 14 Thick clouds [05645] are a covering [05643] to him, that he seeth [07200] not; and he walketh [01980] in the circuit [02329] of heaven [08064]. 18 22 15 Hast thou marked [08104] the old [05769] way [0734] which wicked [0205] men [04962] have trodden [01869]? 18 22 16 Which were cut down [07059] out of time [06256], whose foundation [03247] was overflown [03332] with a flood [05104]: 18 22 17 Which said [0559] unto God [0410], Depart [05493] from us: and what can the Almighty [07706] do [06466] for them? 18 22 18 Yet he filled [04390] their houses [01004] with good [02896] things: but the counsel [06098] of the wicked [07563] is far [07368] from me. 18 22 19 The righteous [06662] see [07200] it, and are glad [08055]: and the innocent [05355] laugh them to scorn [03932]. 18 22 20 Whereas [0518] our substance [07009] is not cut down [03582], but the remnant [03499] of them the fire [0784] consumeth [0398]. 18 22 21 Acquaint [05532] now thyself with him, and be at peace [07999]: thereby good [02896] shall come [0935] unto thee. 18 22 22 Receive [03947], I pray thee, the law [08451] from his mouth [06310], and lay up [07760] his words [0561] in thine heart [03824]. 18 22 23 If thou return [07725] to the Almighty [07706], thou shalt be built up [01129], thou shalt put away [07368] iniquity [05766] far [07368] from thy tabernacles [0168]. 18 22 24 Then shalt thou lay up [07896] gold [01220] as [05921] dust [06083], and the gold of Ophir [0211] as the stones [06697] of the brooks [05158]. 18 22 25 Yea, the Almighty [07706] shall be thy defence [01220], and thou shalt have plenty [08443] of silver [03701]. 18 22 26 For then shalt thou have thy delight [06026] in the Almighty [07706], and shalt lift up [05375] thy face [06440] unto God [0433]. 18 22 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer [06279] unto him, and he shall hear [08085] thee, and thou shalt pay [07999] thy vows [05088]. 18 22 28 Thou shalt also decree [01504] a thing [0562], and it shall be established [06965] unto thee: and the light [0216] shall shine [05050] upon thy ways [01870]. 18 22 29 When men are cast down [08213], then thou shalt say [0559], There is lifting up [01466]; and he shall save [03467] the humble [07807] person [05869]. 18 22 30 He shall deliver [04422] the island [0336] of the innocent [05355]: and it is delivered [04422] by the pureness [01252] of thine hands [03709]. 18 23 1 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 23 2 Even to day [03117] is my complaint [07879] bitter [04805]: my stroke [03027] is heavier [03513] than my groaning [0585]. 18 23 3 Oh that [05414] I knew [03045] where I might find [04672] him! that I might come [0935] even to his seat [08499]! 18 23 4 I would order [06186] my cause [04941] before [06440] him, and fill [04390] my mouth [06310] with arguments [08433]. 18 23 5 I would know [03045] the words [04405] which he would answer [06030] me, and understand [0995] what he would say [0559] unto me. 18 23 6 Will he plead [07378] against [05978] me with his great [07230] power [03581]? No; but he would put [07760] strength in me. 18 23 7 There the righteous [03477] might dispute [03198] with him; so should I be delivered [06403] for ever [05331] from my judge [08199]. 18 23 8 Behold, I go [01980] forward [06924], but he is not there; and backward [0268], but I cannot perceive [0995] him: 18 23 9 On the left hand [08040], where he doth work [06213], but I cannot behold [02372] him: he hideth [05848] himself on the right hand [03225], that I cannot see [07200] him: 18 23 10 But he knoweth [03045] the way [01870] that I take [05978]: when he hath tried [0974] me, I shall come forth [03318] as gold [02091]. 18 23 11 My foot [07272] hath held [0270] his steps [0838], his way [01870] have I kept [08104], and not declined [05186]. 18 23 12 Neither have I gone back [04185] from the commandment [04687] of his lips [08193]; I have esteemed [06845] the words [0561] of his mouth [06310] more than my necessary [02706] food. 18 23 13 But he is in one [0259] mind, and who can turn [07725] him? and what his soul [05315] desireth [0183], even that he doeth [06213]. 18 23 14 For he performeth [07999] the thing that is appointed [02706] for me: and many [07227] such [02007] things are with him. 18 23 15 Therefore am I troubled [0926] at his presence [06440]: when I consider [0995], I am afraid [06342] of him. 18 23 16 For God [0410] maketh my heart [03820] soft [07401], and the Almighty [07706] troubleth [0926] me: 18 23 17 Because I was not cut off [06789] before [06440] the darkness [02822], neither hath he covered [03680] the darkness [0652] from my face [06440]. 18 24 1 Why, seeing times [06256] are not hidden [06845] from the Almighty [07706], do they that know [03045] him not see [02372] his days [03117]? 18 24 2 Some remove [05381] the landmarks [01367]; they violently take away [01497] flocks [05739], and feed [07462] thereof. 18 24 3 They drive away [05090] the ass [02543] of the fatherless [03490], they take [02254] the widow's [0490] ox [07794] for a pledge [02254]. 18 24 4 They turn [05186] the needy [034] out of the way [01870]: the poor [06041] [06035] of the earth [0776] hide [02244] themselves together [03162]. 18 24 5 Behold, as wild asses [06501] in the desert [04057], go they forth [03318] to their work [06467]; rising betimes [07836] for a prey [02964]: the wilderness [06160] yieldeth food [03899] for them and for their children [05288]. 18 24 6 They reap [07114] [07114] every one his corn [01098] in the field [07704]: and they gather [03953] the vintage [03754] of the wicked [07563]. 18 24 7 They cause the naked [06174] to lodge [03885] without clothing [03830], that they have no covering [03682] in the cold [07135]. 18 24 8 They are wet [07372] with the showers [02230] of the mountains [02022], and embrace [02263] the rock [06697] for want of a shelter [04268]. 18 24 9 They pluck [01497] the fatherless [03490] from the breast [07699], and take a pledge [02254] of the poor [06041]. 18 24 10 They cause him to go [01980] naked [06174] without clothing [03830], and they take away [05375] the sheaf [06016] from the hungry [07457]; 18 24 11 Which make oil [06671] within [0996] their walls [07791], and tread [01869] their winepresses [03342], and suffer thirst [06770]. 18 24 12 Men [04962] groan [05008] from out of the city [05892], and the soul [05315] of the wounded [02491] crieth out [07768]: yet God [0433] layeth [07760] not folly [08604] to them. 18 24 13 They are of those that rebel [04775] against the light [0216]; they know [05234] not the ways [01870] thereof, nor abide [03427] in the paths [05410] thereof. 18 24 14 The murderer [07523] rising [06965] with the light [0216] killeth [06991] the poor [06041] and needy [034], and in the night [03915] is as a thief [01590]. 18 24 15 The eye [05869] also of the adulterer [05003] waiteth [08104] for the twilight [05399], saying [0559], No eye [05869] shall see [07789] me: and disguiseth [05643] [07760] his face [06440]. 18 24 16 In the dark [02822] they dig through [02864] houses [01004], which they had marked [02856] for themselves in the daytime [03119]: they know [03045] not the light [0216]. 18 24 17 For the morning [01242] is to them even as [03162] the shadow of death [06757]: if one know [05234] them, they are in the terrors [01091] of the shadow of death [06757]. 18 24 18 He is swift [07031] as the waters [06440] [04325]; their portion [02513] is cursed [07043] in the earth [0776]: he beholdeth [06437] not the way [01870] of the vineyards [03754]. 18 24 19 Drought [06723] and heat [02527] consume [01497] the snow [07950] waters [04325]: so doth the grave [07585] those which have sinned [02398]. 18 24 20 The womb [07358] shall forget [07911] him; the worm [07415] shall feed sweetly [04988] on him; he shall be no more remembered [02142]; and wickedness [05766] shall be broken [07665] as a tree [06086]. 18 24 21 He evil entreateth [07462] the barren [06135] that beareth [03205] not: and doeth not good [03190] to the widow [0490]. 18 24 22 He draweth [04900] also the mighty [047] with his power [03581]: he riseth up [06965], and no man is sure [0539] of life [02416]. 18 24 23 Though it be given [05414] him to be in safety [0983], whereon he resteth [08172]; yet his eyes [05869] are upon their ways [01870]. 18 24 24 They are exalted [07426] for a little while [04592], but are gone and brought low [04355]; they are taken out [07092] of the way [01870] as all other, and cut off [05243] as the tops [07218] of the ears of corn [07641]. 18 24 25 And if it be not so now [0645], who will make [07760] me a liar [03576], and make [07760] my speech [04405] nothing worth [0408]? 18 25 1 Then answered [06030] Bildad [01085] the Shuhite [07747], and said [0559], 18 25 2 Dominion [04910] and fear [06343] are with him, he maketh [06213] peace [07965] in his high places [04791]. 18 25 3 Is there [03426] any number [04557] of his armies [01416]? and upon whom doth not his light [0216] arise [06965]? 18 25 4 How then can man [0582] be justified [06663] with God [0410]? or how can he be clean [02135] that is born [03205] of a woman [0802]? 18 25 5 Behold even to the moon [03394], and it shineth [0166] not; yea, the stars [03556] are not pure [02141] in his sight [05869]. 18 25 6 How much less man [0582], that is a worm [07415]? and the son [01121] of man [0120], which is a worm [08438]? 18 26 1 But Job [0347] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 26 2 How hast thou helped [05826] him that is without power [03581]? how savest [03467] thou the arm [02220] that hath no [03808] strength [05797]? 18 26 3 How hast thou counselled [03289] him that hath no [03808] wisdom [02451]? and how hast thou plentifully [07230] declared [03045] the thing as it is [08454]? 18 26 4 To whom hast thou uttered [05046] words [04405]? and whose spirit [05397] came [03318] from thee? 18 26 5 Dead [07496] things are formed [02342] from under the waters [04325], and the inhabitants [07931] thereof. 18 26 6 Hell [07585] is naked [06174] before him, and destruction [011] hath no covering [03682]. 18 26 7 He stretcheth out [05186] the north [06828] over the empty place [08414], and hangeth [08518] the earth [0776] upon nothing [01099]. 18 26 8 He bindeth up [06887] the waters [04325] in his thick clouds [05645]; and the cloud [06051] is not rent [01234] under them. 18 26 9 He holdeth back [0270] the face [06440] of his throne [03678], and spreadeth [06576] his cloud [06051] upon it. 18 26 10 He hath compassed [02328] the waters [06440] [04325] with bounds [02706], until the day [0216] and night [02822] come to an end [08503]. 18 26 11 The pillars [05982] of heaven [08064] tremble [07322] and are astonished [08539] at his reproof [01606]. 18 26 12 He divideth [07280] the sea [03220] with his power [03581], and by his understanding [08394] [08394] he smiteth [04272] through the proud [07293]. 18 26 13 By his spirit [07307] he hath garnished [08235] the heavens [08064]; his hand [03027] hath formed [02342] the crooked [01281] serpent [05175]. 18 26 14 Lo, these are parts [07098] of his ways [01870]: but how little [08102] a portion [01697] is heard [08085] of him? but the thunder [07482] of his power [01369] who can understand [0995]? 18 27 1 Moreover Job [0347] continued [03254] [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], 18 27 2 As God [0410] liveth [02416], who hath taken away [05493] my judgment [04941]; and the Almighty [07706], who hath vexed [04843] my soul [05315]; 18 27 3 All the while [05750] my breath [05397] is in me, and the spirit [07307] of God [0433] is in my nostrils [0639]; 18 27 4 My lips [08193] shall not speak [01696] wickedness [05766], nor my tongue [03956] utter [01897] deceit [07423]. 18 27 5 God forbid [02486] that I should justify [06663] you: till I die [01478] I will not remove [05493] mine integrity [08538] from me. 18 27 6 My righteousness [06666] I hold [02388] fast, and will not let it go [07503]: my heart [03824] shall not reproach [02778] me so long as I live [03117]. 18 27 7 Let mine enemy [0341] be as the wicked [07563], and he that riseth up [06965] against me as the unrighteous [05767]. 18 27 8 For what is the hope [08615] of the hypocrite [02611], though he hath gained [01214], when God [0433] taketh away [07953] his soul [05315]? 18 27 9 Will God [0410] hear [08085] his cry [06818] when trouble [06869] cometh [0935] upon him? 18 27 10 Will he delight [06026] himself in the Almighty [07706]? will he always [06256] call [07121] upon God [0433]? 18 27 11 I will teach [03384] you by the hand [03027] of God [0410]: that which is with the Almighty [07706] will I not conceal [03582]. 18 27 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [02372] it; why then are ye thus altogether [01892] vain [01891]? 18 27 13 This is the portion [02506] of a wicked [07563] man [0120] with God [0410], and the heritage [05159] of oppressors [06184], which they shall receive [03947] of the Almighty [07706]. 18 27 14 If his children [01121] be multiplied [07235], it is for [03926] the sword [02719]: and his offspring [06631] shall not be satisfied [07646] with bread [03899]. 18 27 15 Those that remain [08300] of him shall be buried [06912] in death [04194]: and his widows [0490] shall not weep [01058]. 18 27 16 Though he heap up [06651] silver [03701] as the dust [06083], and prepare [03559] raiment [04403] as the clay [02563]; 18 27 17 He may prepare [03559] it, but the just [06662] shall put it on [03847], and the innocent [05355] shall divide [02505] the silver [03701]. 18 27 18 He buildeth [01129] his house [01004] as a moth [06211], and as a booth [05521] that the keeper [05341] maketh [06213]. 18 27 19 The rich [06223] man shall lie down [07901], but he shall not be gathered [0622]: he openeth [06491] his eyes [05869], and he is not. 18 27 20 Terrors [01091] take hold [05381] on him as waters [04325], a tempest [05492] stealeth him away [01589] in the night [03915]. 18 27 21 The east [06921] wind carrieth him away [05375], and he departeth [03212]: and as a storm hurleth [08175] him out of his place [04725]. 18 27 22 For God shall cast [07993] upon him, and not spare [02550]: he would fain [01272] flee [01272] out of his hand [03027]. 18 27 23 Men shall clap [05606] their hands [03709] at him, and shall hiss [08319] him out of his place [04725]. 18 28 1 Surely [03426] there is a vein [04161] for the silver [03701], and a place [04725] for gold [02091] where they fine [02212] it. 18 28 2 Iron [01270] is taken [03947] out of the earth [06083], and brass [05154] is molten [06694] out of the stone [068]. 18 28 3 He setteth [07760] an end [07093] to darkness [02822], and searcheth out [02713] all perfection [08503]: the stones [068] of darkness [0652], and the shadow of death [06757]. 18 28 4 The flood [05158] breaketh out [06555] from the inhabitant [01481]; even the waters forgotten [07911] of the foot [07272]: they are dried up [01809], they are gone away [05128] from men [0582]. 18 28 5 As for the earth [0776], out of it cometh [03318] bread [03899]: and under it is turned up [02015] as it were fire [0784]. 18 28 6 The stones [068] of it are the place [04725] of sapphires [05601]: and it hath dust [06083] of gold [02091]. 18 28 7 There is a path [05410] which no fowl [05861] knoweth [03045], and which the vulture's [0344] eye [05869] hath not seen [07805]: 18 28 8 The lion's [07830] whelps [01121] have not trodden [01869] it, nor the fierce lion [07826] passed [05710] by it. 18 28 9 He putteth forth [07971] his hand [03027] upon the rock [02496]; he overturneth [02015] the mountains [02022] by the roots [08328]. 18 28 10 He cutteth out [01234] rivers [02975] among the rocks [06697]; and his eye [05869] seeth [07200] every precious thing [03366]. 18 28 11 He bindeth [02280] the floods [05104] from overflowing [01065]; and the thing that is hid [08587] bringeth he forth [03318] to light [0216]. 18 28 12 But where [0370] shall wisdom [02451] be found [04672]? and where is the place [04725] of understanding [0998]? 18 28 13 Man [0582] knoweth [03045] not the price [06187] thereof; neither is it found [04672] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 18 28 14 The depth [08415] saith [0559], It is not in me: and the sea [03220] saith [0559], It is not with me. 18 28 15 It cannot be gotten [05414] for gold [05458], neither shall silver [03701] be weighed [08254] for the price [04242] thereof. 18 28 16 It cannot be valued [05541] with the gold [03800] of Ophir [0211], with the precious [03368] onyx [07718], or the sapphire [05601]. 18 28 17 The gold [02091] and the crystal [02137] cannot equal [06186] it: and the exchange [08545] of it shall not be for jewels [03627] of fine gold [06337]. 18 28 18 No mention [02142] shall be made of coral [07215], or of pearls [01378]: for the price [04901] of wisdom [02451] is above rubies [06443]. 18 28 19 The topaz [06357] of Ethiopia [03568] shall not equal [06186] it, neither shall it be valued [05541] with pure [02889] gold [03800]. 18 28 20 Whence [0370] then cometh [0935] wisdom [02451]? and where is the place [04725] of understanding [0998]? 18 28 21 Seeing it is hid [05956] from the eyes [05869] of all living [02416], and kept close [05641] from the fowls [05775] of the air [08064]. 18 28 22 Destruction [011] and death [04194] say [0559], We have heard [08085] the fame [08088] thereof with our ears [0241]. 18 28 23 God [0430] understandeth [0995] the way [01870] thereof, and he knoweth [03045] the place [04725] thereof. 18 28 24 For he looketh [05027] to the ends [07098] of the earth [0776], and seeth [07200] under the whole heaven [08064]; 18 28 25 To make [06213] the weight [04948] for the winds [07307]; and he weigheth [08505] the waters [04325] by measure [04060]. 18 28 26 When he made [06213] a decree [02706] for the rain [04306], and a way [01870] for the lightning [02385] of the thunder [06963]: 18 28 27 Then did he see [07200] it, and declare [05608] it; he prepared [03559] it, yea, and searched it out [02713]. 18 28 28 And unto man [0120] he said [0559], Behold, the fear [03374] of the Lord [0136], that is wisdom [02451]; and to depart [05493] from evil [07451] is understanding [0998]. 18 29 1 Moreover Job [0347] continued [03254] [05375] his parable [04912], and said [0559], 18 29 2 Oh that [05414] I were as in months [03391] past [06924], as in the days [03117] when God [0433] preserved [08104] me; 18 29 3 When his candle [05216] shined [01984] upon my head [07218], and when by his light [0216] I walked [03212] through darkness [02822]; 18 29 4 As I was in the days [03117] of my youth [02779], when the secret [05475] of God [0433] was upon my tabernacle [0168]; 18 29 5 When the Almighty [07706] was yet with me, when my children [05288] were about [05439] me; 18 29 6 When I washed [07364] my steps [01978] with butter [02529], and the rock [06697] poured me out [06694] rivers [06388] of oil [08081]; 18 29 7 When I went out [03318] to the gate [08179] through the city [07176], when I prepared [03559] my seat [04186] in the street [07339]! 18 29 8 The young men [05288] saw [07200] me, and hid [02244] themselves: and the aged [03453] arose [06965], and stood up [05975]. 18 29 9 The princes [08269] refrained [06113] talking [04405], and laid [07760] their hand [03709] on their mouth [06310]. 18 29 10 The nobles [05057] held [02244] their peace [06963], and their tongue [03956] cleaved [01692] to the roof of their mouth [02441]. 18 29 11 When the ear [0241] heard [08085] me, then it blessed [0833] me; and when the eye [05869] saw [07200] me, it gave witness [05749] to me: 18 29 12 Because I delivered [04422] the poor [06041] that cried [07768], and the fatherless [03490], and him that had none to help [05826] him. 18 29 13 The blessing [01293] of him that was ready to perish [06] came [0935] upon me: and I caused the widow's [0490] heart [03820] to sing for joy [07442]. 18 29 14 I put [03847] on righteousness [06664], and it clothed [03847] me: my judgment [04941] was as a robe [04598] and a diadem [06797]. 18 29 15 I was eyes [05869] to the blind [05787], and feet [07272] was I to the lame [06455]. 18 29 16 I was a father [01] to the poor [034]: and the cause [07379] which I knew [03045] not I searched out [02713]. 18 29 17 And I brake [07665] the jaws [04973] of the wicked [05767], and plucked [07993] the spoil [02964] out of his teeth [08127]. 18 29 18 Then I said [0559], I shall die [01478] in my nest [07064], and I shall multiply [07235] my days [03117] as the sand [02344]. 18 29 19 My root [08328] was spread out [06605] by the waters [04325], and the dew [02919] lay all night [03885] upon my branch [07105]. 18 29 20 My glory [03519] was fresh [02319] in me [05978], and my bow [07198] was renewed [02498] in my hand [03027]. 18 29 21 Unto me men gave ear [08085], and waited [03176], and kept silence [01826] at [03926] my counsel [06098]. 18 29 22 After [0310] my words [01697] they spake not again [08138]; and my speech [04405] dropped [05197] upon them. 18 29 23 And they waited [03176] for me as for the rain [04306]; and they opened [06473] their mouth [06310] wide as for the latter rain [04456]. 18 29 24 If I laughed [07832] on them, they believed [0539] it not; and the light [0216] of my countenance [06440] they cast not down [05307]. 18 29 25 I chose [0977] out their way [01870], and sat [03427] chief [07218], and dwelt [07931] as a king [04428] in the army [01416], as one that comforteth [05162] the mourners [057]. 18 30 1 But now they that are younger [06810] [03117] than I have me in derision [07832], whose fathers [01] I would have disdained [03988] to have set [07896] with the dogs [03611] of my flock [06629]. 18 30 2 Yea, whereto [04100] might the strength [03581] of their hands [03027] profit me, in whom old age [03624] was perished [06]? 18 30 3 For want [02639] and famine [03720] they were solitary [01565]; fleeing [06207] into the wilderness [06723] in former time [0570] desolate [07722] and waste [04875]. 18 30 4 Who cut up [06998] mallows [04408] by the bushes [07880], and juniper [07574] roots [08328] for their meat [03899]. 18 30 5 They were driven forth [01644] from among [01460] men, (they cried [07321] after them as after a thief [01590];) 18 30 6 To dwell [07931] in the clifts [06178] of the valleys [05158], in caves [02356] of the earth [06083], and in the rocks [03710]. 18 30 7 Among the bushes [07880] they brayed [05101]; under the nettles [02738] they were gathered together [05596]. 18 30 8 They were children [01121] of fools [05036], yea, children [01121] of base men [08034]: they were viler [05217] than the earth [0776]. 18 30 9 And now am I their song [05058], yea, I am their byword [04405]. 18 30 10 They abhor [08581] me, they flee far [07368] from me, and spare [02820] not to spit [07536] in my face [06440]. 18 30 11 Because he hath loosed [06605] my cord [03499], and afflicted [06031] me, they have also let loose [07971] the bridle [07448] before [06440] me. 18 30 12 Upon my right [03225] hand rise [06965] the youth [06526]; they push away [07971] my feet [07272], and they raise up [05549] against me the ways [0734] of their destruction [0343]. 18 30 13 They mar [05420] my path [05410], they set forward [03276] my calamity [01942] [01962], they have no helper [05826]. 18 30 14 They came [0857] upon me as a wide [07342] breaking [06556] in of waters: in [08478] the desolation [07722] they rolled [01556] themselves upon me. 18 30 15 Terrors [01091] are turned [02015] upon me: they pursue [07291] my soul [05082] as the wind [07307]: and my welfare [03444] passeth away [05674] as a cloud [05645]. 18 30 16 And now my soul [05315] is poured out [08210] upon me; the days [03117] of affliction [06040] have taken hold [0270] upon me. 18 30 17 My bones [06106] are pierced [05365] in me in the night season [03915]: and my sinews [06207] take no rest [07901]. 18 30 18 By the great [07230] force [03581] of my disease is my garment [03830] changed [02664]: it bindeth me about [0247] as the collar [06310] of my coat [03801]. 18 30 19 He hath cast [03384] me into the mire [02563], and I am become like [04911] dust [06083] and ashes [0665]. 18 30 20 I cry [07768] unto thee, and thou dost not hear [06030] me: I stand up [05975], and thou regardest [0995] me not. 18 30 21 Thou art become [02015] cruel [0393] to me: with thy strong [06108] hand [03027] thou opposest [07852] thyself against me. 18 30 22 Thou liftest me up [05375] to the wind [07307]; thou causest me to ride [07392] upon it, and dissolvest [04127] my substance [08454] [07738]. 18 30 23 For I know [03045] that thou wilt bring [07725] me to death [04194], and to the house [01004] appointed [04150] for all living [02416]. 18 30 24 Howbeit he will not stretch out [07971] his hand [03027] to the grave [01164], though they cry [07769] in his destruction [06365]. 18 30 25 Did not I weep [01058] for him that was in trouble [07186] [03117]? was not my soul [05315] grieved [05701] for the poor [034]? 18 30 26 When I looked [06960] for good [02896], then evil [07451] came [0935] unto me: and when I waited [03176] for light [0216], there came [0935] darkness [0652]. 18 30 27 My bowels [04578] boiled [07570], and rested [01826] not: the days [03117] of affliction [06040] prevented [06923] me. 18 30 28 I went [01980] mourning [06937] without the sun [02535]: I stood up [06965], and I cried [07768] in the congregation [06951]. 18 30 29 I am a brother [0251] to dragons [08577], and a companion [07453] to owls [01323] [03284]. 18 30 30 My skin [05785] is black [07835] upon me, and my bones [06106] are burned [02787] with heat [02721]. 18 30 31 My harp [03658] also is turned to mourning [060], and my organ [05748] into the voice [06963] of them that weep [01058]. 18 31 1 I made [03772] a covenant [01285] with mine eyes [05869]; why then should I think [0995] upon a maid [01330]? 18 31 2 For what portion [02506] of God [0433] is there from above [04605]? and what inheritance [05159] of the Almighty [07706] from on high [04791]? 18 31 3 Is not destruction [0343] to the wicked [05767]? and a strange [05235] punishment to the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]? 18 31 4 Doth not he see [07200] my ways [01870], and count [05608] all my steps [06806]? 18 31 5 If I have walked [01980] with vanity [07723], or if my foot [07272] hath hasted [02363] to deceit [04820]; 18 31 6 Let me be weighed [08254] in an even [06664] balance [03976], that God [0433] may know [03045] mine integrity [08538]. 18 31 7 If my step [0838] hath turned out [05186] of the way [01870], and mine heart [03820] walked [01980] after [0310] mine eyes [05869], and if any blot [03971] hath cleaved [01692] to mine hands [03709]; 18 31 8 Then let me sow [02232], and let another [0312] eat [0398]; yea, let my offspring [06631] be rooted out [08327]. 18 31 9 If mine heart [03820] have been deceived [06601] by a woman [0802], or if I have laid wait [0693] at my neighbour's [07453] door [06607]; 18 31 10 Then let my wife [0802] grind [02912] unto another [0312], and let others [0312] bow down [03766] upon her. 18 31 11 For this is an heinous crime [02154]; yea, it is an iniquity [05771] to be punished by the judges [06414]. 18 31 12 For it is a fire [0784] that consumeth [0398] to destruction [011], and would root out [08327] all mine increase [08393]. 18 31 13 If I did despise [03988] the cause [04941] of my manservant [05650] or of my maidservant [0519], when they contended [07379] with me; 18 31 14 What then shall I do [06213] when God [0410] riseth up [06965]? and when he visiteth [06485], what shall I answer [07725] him? 18 31 15 Did not he that made [06213] me in the womb [0990] make [06213] him? and did not one [0259] fashion [03559] us in the womb [07358]? 18 31 16 If I have withheld [04513] the poor [01800] from their desire [02656], or have caused the eyes [05869] of the widow [0490] to fail [03615]; 18 31 17 Or have eaten [0398] my morsel [06595] myself alone, and the fatherless [03490] hath not eaten [0398] thereof; 18 31 18 (For from my youth [05271] he was brought up [01431] with me, as with a father [01], and I have guided [05148] her from my mother's [0517] womb [0990];) 18 31 19 If I have seen [07200] any perish [06] for want of clothing [03830], or any poor [034] without covering [03682]; 18 31 20 If his loins [02504] have not blessed [01288] me, and if he were not warmed [02552] with the fleece [01488] of my sheep [03532]; 18 31 21 If I have lifted up [05130] my hand [03027] against the fatherless [03490], when I saw [07200] my help [05833] in the gate [08179]: 18 31 22 Then let mine arm [03802] fall [05307] from my shoulder blade [07929], and mine arm [0248] be broken [07665] from the bone [07070]. 18 31 23 For destruction [0343] from God [0410] was a terror [06343] to me, and by reason of his highness [07613] I could [03201] not endure. 18 31 24 If I have made [07760] gold [02091] my hope [03689], or have said [0559] to the fine gold [03800], Thou art my confidence [04009]; 18 31 25 If I rejoiced [08055] because my wealth [02428] was great [07227], and because mine hand [03027] had gotten [04672] much [03524]; 18 31 26 If I beheld [07200] the sun [0216] when it shined [01984], or the moon [03394] walking [01980] in brightness [03368]; 18 31 27 And my heart [03820] hath been secretly [05643] enticed [06601], or my mouth [06310] hath kissed [05401] my hand [03027]: 18 31 28 This also were an iniquity [05771] to be punished by the judge [06416]: for I should have denied [03584] the God [0410] that is above [04605]. 18 31 29 If I rejoiced [08055] at the destruction [06365] of him that hated [08130] me, or lifted up [05782] myself when evil [07451] found [04672] him: 18 31 30 Neither have I suffered [05414] my mouth [02441] to sin [02398] by wishing [07592] a curse [0423] to his soul [05315]. 18 31 31 If the men [04962] of my tabernacle [0168] said [0559] not, Oh that we had [05414] of his flesh [01320]! we cannot be satisfied [07646]. 18 31 32 The stranger [01616] did not lodge [03885] in the street [02351]: but I opened [06605] my doors [01817] to the traveller [0734]. 18 31 33 If I covered [03680] my transgressions [06588] as Adam [0121], by hiding [02934] mine iniquity [05771] in my bosom [02243]: 18 31 34 Did I fear [06206] a great [07227] multitude [01995], or did the contempt [0937] of families [04940] terrify [02865] me, that I kept silence [01826], and went not out [03318] of the door [06607]? 18 31 35 Oh that [05414] one would hear [08085] me! behold, my desire [08420] is, that the Almighty [07706] would answer [06030] me, and that mine adversary [0376] [07379] had written [03789] a book [05612]. 18 31 36 Surely I would take [05375] it upon my shoulder [07926], and bind [06029] it as a crown [05850] to me. 18 31 37 I would declare [05046] unto him the number [04557] of my steps [06806]; as a prince [05057] would I go near [07126] unto him. 18 31 38 If my land [0127] cry [02199] against me, or that the furrows [08525] likewise [03162] thereof complain [01058]; 18 31 39 If I have eaten [0398] the fruits [03581] thereof without money [03701], or have caused the owners [01167] thereof to lose [05301] their life [05315]: 18 31 40 Let thistles [02336] grow [03318] instead of wheat [02406], and cockle [0890] instead of barley [08184]. The words [01697] of Job [0347] are ended [08552]. 18 32 1 So these three [07969] men [0582] ceased [07673] to answer [06030] Job [0347], because he was righteous [06662] in his own eyes [05869]. 18 32 2 Then was kindled [02734] the wrath [0639] of Elihu [0453] the son [01121] of Barachel [01292] the Buzite [0940], of the kindred [04940] of Ram [07410]: against Job [0347] was his wrath [0639] kindled [02734], because he justified [06663] himself [05315] rather than God [0430]. 18 32 3 Also against his three [07969] friends [07453] was his wrath [0639] kindled [02734], because they had found [04672] no answer [04617], and yet had condemned [07561] Job [0347]. 18 32 4 Now Elihu [0453] had waited [02442] till Job [0347] had spoken [01697], because they were elder [02205] [03117] than he. 18 32 5 When Elihu [0453] saw [07200] that there was no answer [04617] in the mouth [06310] of these three [07969] men [0582], then his wrath [0639] was kindled [02734]. 18 32 6 And Elihu [0453] the son [01121] of Barachel [01292] the Buzite [0940] answered [06030] and said [0559], I am young [06810] [03117], and ye are very old [03453]; wherefore I was afraid [02119], and durst [03372] not shew [02331] you mine opinion [01843]. 18 32 7 I said [0559], Days [03117] should speak [01696], and multitude [07230] of years [08141] should teach [03045] wisdom [02451]. 18 32 8 But [0403] there is a spirit [07307] in man [0582]: and the inspiration [05397] of the Almighty [07706] giveth them understanding [0995]. 18 32 9 Great men [07227] are not always wise [02449]: neither do the aged [02205] understand [0995] judgment [04941]. 18 32 10 Therefore I said [0559], Hearken [08085] to me; I also will shew [02331] mine opinion [01843]. 18 32 11 Behold, I waited [03176] for your words [01697]; I gave ear [0238] to your reasons [08394], whilst ye searched out [02713] what to say [04405]. 18 32 12 Yea, I attended [0995] unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced [03198] Job [0347], or that answered [06030] his words [0561]: 18 32 13 Lest ye should say [0559], We have found out [04672] wisdom [02451]: God [0410] thrusteth him down [05086], not man [0376]. 18 32 14 Now he hath not directed [06186] his words [04405] against me: neither will I answer [07725] him with your speeches [0561]. 18 32 15 They were amazed [02865], they answered [06030] no more: they left off [06275] speaking [04405]. 18 32 16 When I had waited [03176], (for they spake [01696] not, but stood still [05975], and answered [06030] no more;) 18 32 17 I said, I will answer [06030] also my part [02506], I also will shew [02331] mine opinion [01843]. 18 32 18 For I am full [04390] of matter [04405], the spirit [07307] within [0990] me constraineth [06693] me. 18 32 19 Behold, my belly [0990] is as wine [03196] which hath no vent [06605]; it is ready to burst [01234] like new [02319] bottles [0178]. 18 32 20 I will speak [01696], that I may be refreshed [07304]: I will open [06605] my lips [08193] and answer [06030]. 18 32 21 Let me not, I pray you, accept [05375] any man's [0376] person [06440], neither let me give flattering titles [03655] unto man [0120]. 18 32 22 For I know [03045] not to give flattering titles [03655]; in so doing my maker [06213] would soon [04592] take me away [05375]. 18 33 1 Wherefore [0199], Job [0347], I pray thee, hear [08085] my speeches [04405], and hearken [0238] to all my words [01697]. 18 33 2 Behold, now I have opened [06605] my mouth [06310], my tongue [03956] hath spoken [01696] in my mouth [02441]. 18 33 3 My words [0561] shall be of the uprightness [03476] of my heart [03820]: and my lips [08193] shall utter [04448] knowledge [01847] clearly [01305]. 18 33 4 The Spirit [07307] of God [0410] hath made [06213] me, and the breath [05397] of the Almighty [07706] hath given me life [02421]. 18 33 5 If thou canst [03201] answer [07725] me, set thy words in order [06186] before [06440] me, stand up [03320]. 18 33 6 Behold, I am according to thy wish [06310] in God's [0410] stead: I also am formed [07169] out of the clay [02563]. 18 33 7 Behold, my terror [0367] shall not make thee afraid [01204], neither shall my hand [0405] be heavy [03513] upon thee. 18 33 8 Surely thou hast spoken [0559] in mine hearing [0241], and I have heard [08085] the voice [06963] of thy words [04405], saying, 18 33 9 I am clean [02134] without transgression [06588], I am innocent [02643]; neither is there iniquity [05771] in me. 18 33 10 Behold, he findeth [04672] occasions [08569] against me, he counteth [02803] me for his enemy [0341], 18 33 11 He putteth [07760] my feet [07272] in the stocks [05465], he marketh [08104] all my paths [0734]. 18 33 12 Behold, in this thou art not just [06663]: I will answer [06030] thee, that God [0433] is greater [07235] than man [0582]. 18 33 13 Why dost thou strive [07378] against him? for he giveth not account [06030] of any of his matters [01697]. 18 33 14 For God [0410] speaketh [01696] once [0259], yea twice [08147], yet man perceiveth [07789] it not. 18 33 15 In a dream [02472], in a vision [02384] of the night [03915], when deep [08639] sleep falleth [05307] upon men [0582], in slumberings [08572] upon the bed [04904]; 18 33 16 Then he openeth [01540] the ears [0241] of men [0582], and sealeth [02856] their instruction [04561], 18 33 17 That he may withdraw [05493] man [0120] from his purpose [04639], and hide [03680] pride [01466] from man [01397]. 18 33 18 He keepeth back [02820] his soul [05315] from the pit [07845], and his life [02416] from perishing [05674] by the sword [07973]. 18 33 19 He is chastened [03198] also with pain [04341] upon his bed [04904], and the multitude [07230] [07379] of his bones [06106] with strong [0386] pain: 18 33 20 So that his life [02416] abhorreth [02092] bread [03899], and his soul [05315] dainty [08378] meat [03978]. 18 33 21 His flesh [01320] is consumed away [03615], that it cannot be seen [07210]; and his bones [06106] that were not seen [07200] stick out [08192] [08205]. 18 33 22 Yea, his soul [05315] draweth near [07126] unto the grave [07845], and his life [02416] to the destroyers [04191]. 18 33 23 If there [03426] be a messenger [04397] with him, an interpreter [03887], one [0259] among a thousand [0505], to shew [05046] unto man [0120] his uprightness [03476]: 18 33 24 Then he is gracious [02603] unto him, and saith [0559], Deliver [06308] him from going down [03381] to the pit [07845]: I have found [04672] a ransom [03724]. 18 33 25 His flesh [01320] shall be fresher [07375] than a child's [05290]: he shall return [07725] to the days [03117] of his youth [05934]: 18 33 26 He shall pray [06279] unto God [0433], and he will be favourable [07521] unto him: and he shall see [07200] his face [06440] with joy [08643]: for he will render [07725] unto man [0582] his righteousness [06666]. 18 33 27 He looketh [07789] upon men [0582], and if any say [0559], I have sinned [02398], and perverted [05753] that which was right [03477], and it profited [07737] me not; 18 33 28 He will deliver [06299] his soul [05315] from going [05674] into the pit [07845], and his life [02416] shall see [07200] the light [0216]. 18 33 29 Lo, all these things worketh [06466] God [0410] oftentimes [06471] [07969] with man [01397], 18 33 30 To bring back [07725] his soul [05315] from the pit [07845], to be enlightened [0215] with the light [0216] of the living [02416]. 18 33 31 Mark well [07181], O Job [0347], hearken [08085] unto me: hold thy peace [02790], and I will speak [01696]. 18 33 32 If thou hast [03426] any thing to say [04405], answer [07725] me: speak [01696], for I desire [02654] to justify [06663] thee. 18 33 33 If not, hearken [08085] unto me: hold thy peace [02790], and I shall teach [0502] thee wisdom [02451]. 18 34 1 Furthermore Elihu [0453] answered [06030] and said [0559], 18 34 2 Hear [08085] my words [04405], O ye wise [02450] men; and give ear [0238] unto me, ye that have knowledge [03045]. 18 34 3 For the ear [0241] trieth [0974] words [04405], as the mouth [02441] tasteth [02938] meat [0398]. 18 34 4 Let us choose [0977] to us judgment [04941]: let us know [03045] among ourselves what is good [02896]. 18 34 5 For Job [0347] hath said [0559], I am righteous [06663]: and God [0410] hath taken away [05493] my judgment [04941]. 18 34 6 Should I lie [03576] against my right [04941]? my wound [02671] is incurable [0605] without transgression [06588]. 18 34 7 What man [01397] is like Job [0347], who drinketh up [08354] scorning [03933] like water [04325]? 18 34 8 Which goeth [0732] in company [02274] with the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205], and walketh [03212] with wicked [07562] men [0582]. 18 34 9 For he hath said [0559], It profiteth [05532] a man [01397] nothing that he should delight [07521] himself with God [0430]. 18 34 10 Therefore hearken [08085] unto me, ye men [0582] of understanding [03824]: far be it [02486] from God [0410], that he should do wickedness [07562]; and from the Almighty [07706], that he should commit iniquity [05766]. 18 34 11 For the work [06467] of a man [0120] shall he render [07999] unto him, and cause every man [0376] to find [04672] according to his ways [0734]. 18 34 12 Yea, surely [0551] God [0410] will not do wickedly [07561], neither will the Almighty [07706] pervert [05791] judgment [04941]. 18 34 13 Who hath given him a charge [06485] over the earth [0776]? or who hath disposed [07760] the whole world [08398]? 18 34 14 If he set [07760] his heart [03820] upon man, if he gather [0622] unto himself his spirit [07307] and his breath [05397]; 18 34 15 All flesh [01320] shall perish [01478] together [03162], and man [0120] shall turn again [07725] unto dust [06083]. 18 34 16 If now thou hast understanding [0998], hear [08085] this: hearken [0238] to the voice [06963] of my words [04405]. 18 34 17 Shall even he that hateth [08130] right [04941] govern [02280]? and wilt thou condemn [07561] him that is most [03524] just [06662]? 18 34 18 Is it fit to say [0559] to a king [04428], Thou art wicked [01100]? and to princes [05081], Ye are ungodly [07563]? 18 34 19 How much less to him that accepteth [05375] not the persons [06440] of princes [08269], nor regardeth [05234] the rich [07771] more than [06440] the poor [01800]? for they all are the work [04639] of his hands [03027]. 18 34 20 In a moment [07281] shall they die [04191], and the people [05971] shall be troubled [01607] at midnight [02676] [03915], and pass away [05674]: and the mighty [047] shall be taken away [05493] without hand [03027]. 18 34 21 For his eyes [05869] are upon the ways [01870] of man [0376], and he seeth [07200] all his goings [06806]. 18 34 22 There is no darkness [02822], nor shadow of death [06757], where the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] may hide [05641] themselves. 18 34 23 For he will not lay [07760] upon man [0376] more than right; that he should enter [01980] into judgment [04941] with God [0410]. 18 34 24 He shall break in pieces [07489] mighty men [03524] without number [02714], and set [05975] others [0312] in their stead. 18 34 25 Therefore he knoweth [05234] their works [04566], and he overturneth [02015] them in the night [03915], so that they are destroyed [01792]. 18 34 26 He striketh [05606] them as [08478] wicked men [07563] in the open [04725] sight [07200] of others; 18 34 27 Because they turned back [05493] from him [0310], and would not consider [07919] any of his ways [01870]: 18 34 28 So that they cause the cry [06818] of the poor [01800] to come [0935] unto him, and he heareth [08085] the cry [06818] of the afflicted [06041]. 18 34 29 When he giveth quietness [08252], who then can make trouble [07561]? and when he hideth [05641] his face [06440], who then can behold [07789] him? whether it be done against a nation [01471], or against a man [0120] only [03162]: 18 34 30 That the hypocrite [0120] [02611] reign [04427] not, lest the people [05971] be ensnared [04170]. 18 34 31 Surely it is meet to be said [0559] unto God [0410], I have borne [05375] chastisement, I will not offend [02254] any more: 18 34 32 That which I see [02372] not [01107] teach [03384] thou me: if I have done [06466] iniquity [05766], I will do [03254] no more. 18 34 33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense [07999] it, whether thou refuse [03588] [03988], or whether thou choose [0977]; and not I: therefore speak [01696] what thou knowest [03045]. 18 34 34 Let men [0582] of understanding [03824] tell [0559] me, and let a wise [02450] man [01397] hearken [08085] unto me. 18 34 35 Job [0347] hath spoken [01696] without knowledge [01847], and his words [01697] were without wisdom [07919]. 18 34 36 My desire [015] [01] is that Job [0347] may be tried [0974] unto the end [05331] because of his answers [08666] for wicked [0205] men [0582]. 18 34 37 For he addeth [03254] rebellion [06588] unto his sin [02403], he clappeth [05606] his hands among us, and multiplieth [07235] his words [0561] against God [0410]. 18 35 1 Elihu [0453] spake [06030] moreover, and said [0559], 18 35 2 Thinkest [02803] thou this to be right [04941], that thou saidst [0559], My righteousness [06664] is more than God's [0410]? 18 35 3 For thou saidst [0559], What advantage [05532] will it be unto thee? and, What profit [03276] shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin [02403]? 18 35 4 I will answer [07725] [04405] thee, and thy companions [07453] with thee. 18 35 5 Look [05027] unto the heavens [08064], and see [07200]; and behold [07789] the clouds [07834] which are higher [01361] than thou. 18 35 6 If thou sinnest [02398], what doest [06466] thou against him? or if thy transgressions [06588] be multiplied [07231], what doest [06213] thou unto him? 18 35 7 If thou be righteous [06663], what givest [05414] thou him? or what receiveth [03947] he of thine hand [03027]? 18 35 8 Thy wickedness [07562] may hurt a man [0376] as thou art; and thy righteousness [06666] may profit the son [01121] of man [0120]. 18 35 9 By reason of the multitude [07230] of oppressions [06217] they make the oppressed to cry [02199]: they cry out [07768] by reason of the arm [02220] of the mighty [07227]. 18 35 10 But none saith [0559], Where is God [0433] my maker [06213], who giveth [05414] songs [02158] in the night [03915]; 18 35 11 Who teacheth [0502] us more than the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776], and maketh us wiser [02449] than the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064]? 18 35 12 There they cry [06817], but none giveth answer [06030], because [06440] of the pride [01347] of evil men [07451]. 18 35 13 Surely God [0410] will not hear [08085] vanity [07723], neither will the Almighty [07706] regard [07789] it. 18 35 14 Although [0637] thou sayest [0559] thou shalt not see [07789] him, yet judgment [01779] is before [06440] him; therefore trust [02342] thou in him. 18 35 15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited [06485] in his anger [0639]; yet he knoweth [03045] it not in great [03966] extremity [06580]: 18 35 16 Therefore doth Job [0347] open [06475] his mouth [06310] in vain [01892]; he multiplieth [03527] words [04405] without [01097] knowledge [01847]. 18 36 1 Elihu [0453] also proceeded [03254], and said [0559], 18 36 2 Suffer [03803] me a little [02191], and I will shew [02331] thee that I have yet to speak [04405] on God's [0433] behalf. 18 36 3 I will fetch [05375] my knowledge [01843] from afar [07350], and will ascribe [05414] righteousness [06664] to my Maker [06466]. 18 36 4 For truly [0551] my words [04405] shall not be false [08267]: he that is perfect [08549] in knowledge [01844] is with thee. 18 36 5 Behold, God [0410] is mighty [03524], and despiseth [03988] not any: he is mighty [03524] in strength [03581] and wisdom [03820]. 18 36 6 He preserveth not the life [02421] of the wicked [07563]: but giveth [05414] right [04941] to the poor [06041]. 18 36 7 He withdraweth [01639] not his eyes [05869] from the righteous [06662]: but with kings [04428] are they on the throne [03678]; yea, he doth establish [03427] them for ever [05331], and they are exalted [01361]. 18 36 8 And if they be bound [0631] in fetters [02131], and be holden [03920] in cords [02256] of affliction [06040]; 18 36 9 Then he sheweth [05046] them their work [06467], and their transgressions [06588] that they have exceeded [01396]. 18 36 10 He openeth [01540] also their ear [0241] to discipline [04148], and commandeth [0559] that they return [07725] from iniquity [0205]. 18 36 11 If they obey [08085] and serve [05647] him, they shall spend [03615] their days [03117] in prosperity [02896], and their years [08141] in pleasures [05273]. 18 36 12 But if they obey [08085] not, they shall perish [05674] by the sword [07973], and they shall die [01478] without knowledge [01847]. 18 36 13 But the hypocrites [02611] in heart [03820] heap up [07760] wrath [0639]: they cry [07768] not when he bindeth [0631] them. 18 36 14 They [05315] die [04191] in youth [05290], and their life [02416] is among the unclean [06945]. 18 36 15 He delivereth [02502] the poor [06041] in his affliction [06040], and openeth [01540] their ears [0241] in oppression [03906]. 18 36 16 Even so would he have removed [05496] thee out of the strait [06310] [06862] into a broad place [07338], where [08478] there is no straitness [04164]; and that which should be set [05183] on thy table [07979] should be full [04390] of fatness [01880]. 18 36 17 But thou hast fulfilled [04390] the judgment [01779] of the wicked [07563]: judgment [01779] and justice [04941] take hold [08551] on thee. 18 36 18 Because there is wrath [02534], beware lest he take thee away [05496] with his stroke [05607]: then a great [07230] ransom [03724] cannot deliver [05186] thee. 18 36 19 Will he esteem [06186] thy riches [07769]? no, not gold [01222], nor all the forces [03981] of strength [03581]. 18 36 20 Desire [07602] not the night [03915], when people [05971] are cut off [05927] in their place. 18 36 21 Take heed [08104], regard [06437] not iniquity [0205]: for this hast thou chosen [0977] rather than affliction [06040]. 18 36 22 Behold, God [0410] exalteth [07682] by his power [03581]: who teacheth [03384] like him? 18 36 23 Who hath enjoined [06485] him his way [01870]? or who can say [0559], Thou hast wrought [06466] iniquity [05766]? 18 36 24 Remember [02142] that thou magnify [07679] his work [06467], which men [0582] behold [07891]. 18 36 25 Every man [0120] may see [02372] it; man [0582] may behold [05027] it afar off [07350]. 18 36 26 Behold, God [0410] is great [07689], and we know [03045] him not, neither can the number [04557] of his years [08141] be searched out [02714]. 18 36 27 For he maketh small [01639] the drops [05198] of water [04325]: they pour down [02212] rain [04306] according to the vapour [0108] thereof: 18 36 28 Which the clouds [07834] do drop [05140] and distil [07491] upon man [0120] abundantly [07227]. 18 36 29 Also can any understand [0995] the spreadings [04666] of the clouds [05645], or the noise [08663] of his tabernacle [05521]? 18 36 30 Behold, he spreadeth [06566] his light [0216] upon it, and covereth [03680] the bottom [08328] of the sea [03220]. 18 36 31 For by them judgeth [01777] he the people [05971]; he giveth [05414] meat [0400] in abundance [04342]. 18 36 32 With clouds [03709] he covereth [03680] the light [0216]; and commandeth [06680] it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt [06293]. 18 36 33 The noise [07452] thereof sheweth [05046] concerning it, the cattle [04735] also concerning the vapour [05927]. 18 37 1 At this [02063] also my heart [03820] trembleth [02729], and is moved out [05425] of his place [04725]. 18 37 2 Hear [08085] attentively [08085] the noise [07267] of his voice [06963], and the sound [01899] that goeth out [03318] of his mouth [06310]. 18 37 3 He directeth [03474] it [08281] under the whole heaven [08064], and his lightning [0216] unto the ends [03671] of the earth [0776]. 18 37 4 After [0310] it a voice [06963] roareth [07580]: he thundereth [07481] with the voice [06963] of his excellency [01347]; and he will not stay [06117] them when his voice [06963] is heard [08085]. 18 37 5 God [0410] thundereth [07481] marvellously [06381] with his voice [06963]; great things [01419] doeth [06213] he, which we cannot comprehend [03045]. 18 37 6 For he saith [0559] to the snow [07950], Be thou [01933] on the earth [0776]; likewise to the small [04306] rain [01653], and to the great [04306] rain [01653] of his strength [05797]. 18 37 7 He sealeth up [02856] the hand [03027] of every man [0120]; that all men [0582] may know [03045] his work [04639]. 18 37 8 Then the beasts [02416] go [0935] into [01119] dens [0695], and remain [07931] in their places [04585]. 18 37 9 Out of the south [02315] cometh [0935] the whirlwind [05492]: and cold [07135] out of the north [04215]. 18 37 10 By the breath [05397] of God [0410] frost [07140] is given [05414]: and the breadth [07341] of the waters [04325] is straitened [04164]. 18 37 11 Also by watering [07377] he wearieth [02959] the thick cloud [05645]: he scattereth [06327] his bright [0216] cloud [06051]: 18 37 12 And it is turned [02015] round about [04524] by his counsels [08458]: that they may do [06467] whatsoever he commandeth [06680] them upon the face [06440] of the world [08398] in the earth [0776]. 18 37 13 He causeth it to come [04672], whether for correction [07626], or for his land [0776], or for mercy [02617]. 18 37 14 Hearken [0238] unto this, O Job [0347]: stand still [05975], and consider [0995] the wondrous [06381] works of God [0410]. 18 37 15 Dost thou know [03045] when God [0433] disposed [07760] them, and caused the light [0216] of his cloud [06051] to shine [03313]? 18 37 16 Dost thou know [03045] the balancings [04657] of the clouds [05645], the wondrous works [04652] of him which is perfect [08549] in knowledge [01843]? 18 37 17 How thy garments [0899] are warm [02525], when he quieteth [08252] the earth [0776] by the south [01864] wind? 18 37 18 Hast thou with him spread out [07554] the sky [07834], which is strong [02389], and as a molten [03332] looking glass [07209]? 18 37 19 Teach [03045] us what we shall say [0559] unto him; for we cannot order [06186] our speech by reason [06440] of darkness [02822]. 18 37 20 Shall it be told [05608] him that I speak [01696]? if a man [0376] speak [0559], surely he shall be swallowed up [01104]. 18 37 21 And now men see [07200] not the bright [0925] light [0216] which is in the clouds [07834]: but the wind [07307] passeth [05674], and cleanseth [02891] them. 18 37 22 Fair weather [02091] cometh [0857] out of the north [06828]: with God [0433] is terrible [03372] majesty [01935]. 18 37 23 Touching the Almighty [07706], we cannot find him out [04672]: he is excellent [07689] in power [03581], and in judgment [04941], and in plenty [07230] of justice [06666]: he will not afflict [06031]. 18 37 24 Men [0582] do therefore fear [03372] him: he respecteth [07200] not any that are wise [02450] of heart [03820]. 18 38 1 Then the LORD [03068] answered [06030] Job [0347] out of the whirlwind [05591], and said [0559], 18 38 2 Who is this that darkeneth [02821] counsel [06098] by words [04405] without knowledge [01847]? 18 38 3 Gird up [0247] now thy loins [02504] like a man [01397]; for I will demand [07592] of thee, and answer [03045] thou me. 18 38 4 Where [0375] wast thou when I laid the foundations [03245] of the earth [0776]? declare [05046], if thou hast [03045] understanding [0998]. 18 38 5 Who hath laid [07760] the measures [04461] thereof, if thou knowest [03045]? or who hath stretched [05186] the line [06957] upon it? 18 38 6 Whereupon are the foundations [0134] thereof fastened [02883]? or who laid [03384] the corner [06438] stone [068] thereof; 18 38 7 When the morning [01242] stars [03556] sang [07442] together [03162], and all the sons [01121] of God [0430] shouted [07321] for joy? 18 38 8 Or who shut up [05526] the sea [03220] with doors [01817], when it brake forth [01518], as if it had issued out [03318] of the womb [07358]? 18 38 9 When I made [07760] the cloud [06051] the garment [03830] thereof, and thick darkness [06205] a swaddlingband [02854] for it, 18 38 10 And brake up [07665] for it my decreed [02706] place, and set [07760] bars [01280] and doors [01817], 18 38 11 And said [0559], Hitherto [05704] [06311] shalt thou come [0935], but no further [03254]: and here shall thy proud [01347] waves [01530] be stayed [07896]? 18 38 12 Hast thou commanded [06680] the morning [01242] since thy days [03117]; and caused the dayspring [07837] to know [03045] his place [04725]; 18 38 13 That it might take hold [0270] of the ends [03671] of the earth [0776], that the wicked [07563] might be shaken out [05287] of it? 18 38 14 It is turned [02015] as clay [02563] to the seal [02368]; and they stand [03320] as a garment [03830]. 18 38 15 And from the wicked [07563] their light [0216] is withholden [04513], and the high [07311] arm [02220] shall be broken [07665]. 18 38 16 Hast thou entered [0935] into the springs [05033] of the sea [03220]? or hast thou walked [01980] in the search [02714] of the depth [08415]? 18 38 17 Have the gates [08179] of death [04194] been opened [01540] unto thee? or hast thou seen [07200] the doors [08179] of the shadow of death [06757]? 18 38 18 Hast thou perceived [0995] the breadth [07338] of the earth [0776]? declare [05046] if thou knowest [03045] it all. 18 38 19 Where is the way [01870] where light [0216] dwelleth [07931]? and as for darkness [02822], where is the place [04725] thereof, 18 38 20 That thou shouldest take [03947] it to the bound [01366] thereof, and that thou shouldest know [0995] the paths [05410] to the house [01004] thereof? 18 38 21 Knowest [03045] thou it, because thou wast then born [03205]? or because the number [04557] of thy days [03117] is great [07227]? 18 38 22 Hast thou entered [0935] into the treasures [0214] of the snow [07950]? or hast thou seen [07200] the treasures [0214] of the hail [01259], 18 38 23 Which I have reserved [02820] against the time [06256] of trouble [06862], against the day [03117] of battle [07128] and war [04421]? 18 38 24 By what [0335] way [01870] is the light [0216] parted [02505], which scattereth [06327] the east wind [06921] upon the earth [0776]? 18 38 25 Who hath divided [06385] a watercourse [08585] for the overflowing of waters [07858], or a way [01870] for the lightning [02385] of thunder [06963]; 18 38 26 To cause it to rain [04305] on the earth [0776], where no man [0376] is; on the wilderness [04057], wherein there is no man [0120]; 18 38 27 To satisfy [07646] the desolate [07722] and waste [04875] ground; and to cause the bud [04161] of the tender herb [01877] to spring forth [06779]? 18 38 28 Hath [03426] the rain [04306] a father [01]? or who hath begotten [03205] the drops [096] of dew [02919]? 18 38 29 Out of whose womb [0990] came [03318] the ice [07140]? and the hoary frost [03713] of heaven [08064], who hath gendered [03205] it? 18 38 30 The waters [04325] are hid [02244] as with a stone [068], and the face [06440] of the deep [08415] is frozen [03920]. 18 38 31 Canst thou bind [07194] the sweet influences [04575] of Pleiades [03598], or loose [06605] the bands [04189] of Orion [03685]? 18 38 32 Canst thou bring forth [03318] Mazzaroth [04216] in his season [06256]? or canst thou guide [05148] Arcturus [05906] with his sons [01121]? 18 38 33 Knowest [03045] thou the ordinances [02708] of heaven [08064]? canst thou set [07760] the dominion [04896] thereof in the earth [0776]? 18 38 34 Canst thou lift up [07311] thy voice [06963] to the clouds [05645], that abundance [08229] of waters [04325] may cover [03680] thee? 18 38 35 Canst thou send [07971] lightnings [01300], that they may go [03212], and say [0559] unto thee, Here we are? 18 38 36 Who hath put [07896] wisdom [02451] in the inward parts [02910]? or who hath given [05414] understanding [0998] to the heart [07907]? 18 38 37 Who can number [05608] the clouds [07834] in wisdom [02451]? or who can stay [07901] the bottles [05035] of heaven [08064], 18 38 38 When the dust [06083] groweth [03332] into hardness [04165], and the clods [07263] cleave fast together [01692]? 18 38 39 Wilt thou hunt [06679] the prey [02964] for the lion [03833]? or fill [04390] the appetite [02416] of the young lions [03715], 18 38 40 When they couch [07817] in their dens [04585], and abide [03427] in the covert [05521] to [03926] lie in wait [0695]? 18 38 41 Who provideth [03559] for the raven [06158] his food [06718]? when his young ones [03206] cry [07768] unto God [0410], they wander [08582] for lack [01097] of meat [0400]. 18 39 1 Knowest [03045] thou the time [06256] when the wild goats [03277] of the rock [05553] bring forth [03205]? or canst thou mark [08104] when the hinds [0355] do calve [02342]? 18 39 2 Canst thou number [05608] the months [03391] that they fulfil [04390]? or knowest [03045] thou the time [06256] when they bring forth [03205]? 18 39 3 They bow [03766] themselves, they bring forth [06398] their young ones [03206], they cast out [07971] their sorrows [02256]. 18 39 4 Their young ones [01121] are in good liking [02492], they grow up [07235] with corn [01250]; they go forth [03318], and return [07725] not unto them. 18 39 5 Who hath sent out [07971] the wild ass [06501] free [02670]? or who hath loosed [06605] the bands [04147] of the wild ass [06171]? 18 39 6 Whose house [01004] I have made [07760] the wilderness [06160], and the barren [04420] land his dwellings [04908]. 18 39 7 He scorneth [07832] the multitude [01995] of the city [07151], neither regardeth [08085] he the crying [08663] of the driver [05065]. 18 39 8 The range [03491] of the mountains [02022] is his pasture [04829], and he searcheth [01875] after [0310] every green thing [03387]. 18 39 9 Will the unicorn [07214] be willing [014] to serve [05647] thee, or abide [03885] by thy crib [018]? 18 39 10 Canst thou bind [07194] the unicorn [07214] with his band [05688] in the furrow [08525]? or will he harrow [07702] the valleys [06010] after [0310] thee? 18 39 11 Wilt thou trust [0982] him, because his strength [03581] is great [07227]? or wilt thou leave [05800] thy labour [03018] to him? 18 39 12 Wilt thou believe [0539] him, that he will bring home [07725] [07725] thy seed [02233], and gather [0622] it into thy barn [01637]? 18 39 13 Gavest thou the goodly [07443] wings [03671] unto the peacocks [05965]? or wings [084] and feathers [02624] unto the ostrich [05133]? 18 39 14 Which leaveth [05800] her eggs [01000] in the earth [0776], and warmeth [02552] them in dust [06083], 18 39 15 And forgetteth [07911] that the foot [07272] may crush [02115] them, or that the wild [07704] beast [02416] may break [01758] them. 18 39 16 She is hardened [07188] against her young ones [01121], as though they were not [03808] hers: her labour [03018] is in vain [07385] without fear [06343]; 18 39 17 Because God [0433] hath deprived [05382] her of wisdom [02451], neither hath he imparted [02505] to her understanding [0998]. 18 39 18 What time [06256] she lifteth up [04754] herself on high [04791], she scorneth [07832] the horse [05483] and his rider [07392]. 18 39 19 Hast thou given [05414] the horse [05483] strength [01369]? hast thou clothed [03847] his neck [06677] with thunder [07483]? 18 39 20 Canst thou make him afraid [07493] as a grasshopper [0697]? the glory [01935] of his nostrils [05170] is terrible [0367]. 18 39 21 He paweth [02658] in the valley [06010], and rejoiceth [07797] in his strength [03581]: he goeth on [03318] to meet [07125] the armed men [05402]. 18 39 22 He mocketh [07832] at fear [06343], and is not affrighted [02865]; neither turneth he back [07725] from [06440] the sword [02719]. 18 39 23 The quiver [0827] rattleth [07439] against him, the glittering [03851] spear [02595] and the shield [03591]. 18 39 24 He swalloweth [01572] the ground [0776] with fierceness [07494] and rage [07267]: neither believeth [0539] he that it is the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782]. 18 39 25 He saith [0559] among [01767] the trumpets [07782], Ha [01889], ha [01889]; and he smelleth [07306] the battle [04421] afar off [07350], the thunder [07482] of the captains [08269], and the shouting [08643]. 18 39 26 Doth the hawk [05322] fly [082] by thy wisdom [0998], and stretch [06566] her wings [03671] toward the south [08486]? 18 39 27 Doth the eagle [05404] mount up [01361] at thy command [06310], and make [07311] her nest [07064] on high [07311]? 18 39 28 She dwelleth [07931] and abideth [03885] on the rock [05553], upon the crag [08127] of the rock [05553], and the strong place [04686]. 18 39 29 From thence she seeketh [02658] the prey [0400], and her eyes [05869] behold [05027] afar off [07350]. 18 39 30 Her young ones [0667] also suck up [05966] blood [01818]: and where the slain [02491] are, there is she [01931]. 18 40 1 Moreover the LORD [03068] answered [06030] Job [0347], and said [0559], 18 40 2 Shall he that contendeth [07378] with the Almighty [07706] instruct [03250] him? he that reproveth [03198] God [0433], let him answer [06030] it. 18 40 3 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], 18 40 4 Behold, I am vile [07043]; what shall I answer [07725] thee? I will lay [07760] mine hand [03027] upon [03926] my mouth [06310]. 18 40 5 Once [0259] have I spoken [01696]; but I will not answer [06030]: yea, twice [08147]; but I will proceed no further [03254]. 18 40 6 Then answered [06030] the LORD [03068] unto Job [0347] out of the whirlwind [05591], and said [0559], 18 40 7 Gird up [0247] thy loins [02504] now like a man [01397]: I will demand [07592] of thee, and declare [03045] thou unto me. 18 40 8 Wilt thou also disannul [06565] my judgment [04941]? wilt thou condemn [07561] me, that thou mayest be righteous [06663]? 18 40 9 Hast thou an arm [02220] like God [0410]? or canst thou thunder [07481] with a voice [06963] like him? 18 40 10 Deck [05710] thyself now with majesty [01347] and excellency [01363]; and array [03847] thyself with glory [01935] and beauty [01926]. 18 40 11 Cast abroad [06327] the rage [05678] of thy wrath [0639]: and behold [07200] every one that is proud [01343], and abase [08213] him. 18 40 12 Look [07200] on every one that is proud [01343], and bring him low [03665]; and tread down [01915] the wicked [07563] in their place. 18 40 13 Hide [02934] them in the dust [06083] together [03162]; and bind [02280] their faces [06440] in secret [02934]. 18 40 14 Then will I also confess [03034] unto thee that thine own right hand [03225] can save [03467] thee. 18 40 15 Behold now behemoth [0930], which I made [06213] with thee; he eateth [0398] grass [02682] as an ox [01241]. 18 40 16 Lo now, his strength [03581] is in his loins [04975], and his force [0202] is in the navel [08306] of his belly [0990]. 18 40 17 He moveth [02654] his tail [02180] like a cedar [0730]: the sinews [01517] of his stones [06344] are wrapped together [08276]. 18 40 18 His bones [06106] are as strong [0650] pieces of brass [05154]; his bones [01634] are like bars [04300] of iron [01270]. 18 40 19 He is the chief [07225] of the ways [01870] of God [0410]: he that made [06213] him can make [05066] his sword [02719] to approach [05066] unto him. 18 40 20 Surely the mountains [02022] bring him forth [05375] food [0944], where all the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] play [07832]. 18 40 21 He lieth [07901] under the shady trees [06628], in the covert [05643] of the reed [07070], and fens [01207]. 18 40 22 The shady trees [06628] cover [05526] him with their shadow [06752]; the willows [06155] of the brook [05158] compass him about [05437]. 18 40 23 Behold, he drinketh up [06231] a river [05104], and hasteth [02648] not: he trusteth [0982] that he can draw up [01518] Jordan [03383] into his mouth [06310]. 18 40 24 He taketh [03947] it with his eyes [05869]: his nose [0639] pierceth through [05344] snares [04170]. 18 41 1 Canst thou draw out [04900] leviathan [03882] with an hook [02443]? or his tongue [03956] with a cord [02256] which thou lettest down [08257]? 18 41 2 Canst thou put [07760] an hook [0100] into his nose [0639]? or bore [05344] his jaw [03895] through with a thorn [02336]? 18 41 3 Will he make many [07235] supplications [08469] unto thee? will he speak [01696] soft [07390] words unto thee? 18 41 4 Will he make [03772] a covenant [01285] with thee? wilt thou take [03947] him for a servant [05650] for ever [05769]? 18 41 5 Wilt thou play [07832] with him as with a bird [06833]? or wilt thou bind [07194] him for thy maidens [05291]? 18 41 6 Shall the companions [02271] make a banquet [03739] of him? shall they part [02673] him among the merchants [03669]? 18 41 7 Canst thou fill [04390] his skin [05785] with barbed irons [07905]? or his head [07218] with fish [01709] spears [06767]? 18 41 8 Lay [07760] thine hand [03709] upon him, remember [02142] the battle [04421], do no more [03254]. 18 41 9 Behold, the hope [08431] of him is in vain [03576]: shall not one be cast down [02904] even at the sight [04758] of him? 18 41 10 None is so fierce [0393] that dare stir him up [05782] [05782]: who then is able to stand [03320] before [06440] me? 18 41 11 Who hath prevented [06923] me, that I should repay [07999] him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven [08064] is mine. 18 41 12 I will not conceal [02790] his parts [0907], nor his power [01369] [01697], nor his comely [02433] proportion [06187]. 18 41 13 Who can discover [01540] the face [06440] of his garment [03830]? or who can come [0935] to him with his double [03718] bridle [07448]? 18 41 14 Who can open [06605] the doors [01817] of his face [06440]? his teeth [08127] are terrible [0367] round about [05439]. 18 41 15 His scales [04043] [0650] are his pride [01346], shut up together [05462] as with a close [06862] seal [02368]. 18 41 16 One [0259] is so near [05066] to another [0259], that no air [07307] can come [0935] between them. 18 41 17 They are joined [01692] one [0376] to another [0251], they stick together [03920], that they cannot be sundered [06504]. 18 41 18 By his neesings [05846] a light [0216] doth shine [01984], and his eyes [05869] are like the eyelids [06079] of the morning [07837]. 18 41 19 Out of his mouth [06310] go [01980] burning lamps [03940], and sparks [03590] of fire [0784] leap out [04422]. 18 41 20 Out of his nostrils [05156] goeth [03318] smoke [06227], as out of a seething [05301] pot [01731] or caldron [0100]. 18 41 21 His breath [05315] kindleth [03857] coals [01513], and a flame [03851] goeth out [03318] of his mouth [06310]. 18 41 22 In his neck [06677] remaineth [03885] strength [05797], and sorrow [01670] is turned into joy [01750] before [06440] him. 18 41 23 The flakes [04651] of his flesh [01320] are joined together [01692]: they are firm [03332] in themselves; they cannot be moved [04131]. 18 41 24 His heart [03820] is as firm [03332] as a stone [068]; yea, as hard [03332] as a piece [06400] of the nether [08482] millstone. 18 41 25 When he raiseth up [07613] himself, the mighty [0352] are afraid [01481]: by reason of breakings [07667] they purify [02398] themselves. 18 41 26 The sword [02719] of him that layeth [05381] at him cannot hold [06965]: the spear [02595], the dart [04551], nor the habergeon [08302]. 18 41 27 He esteemeth [02803] iron [01270] as straw [08401], and brass [05154] as rotten [07539] wood [06086]. 18 41 28 The arrow [01121] [07198] cannot make him flee [01272]: slingstones [068] [07050] are turned [02015] with him into stubble [07179]. 18 41 29 Darts [08455] are counted [02803] as stubble [07179]: he laugheth [07832] at the shaking [07494] of a spear [03591]. 18 41 30 Sharp [02303] stones [02789] are under him: he spreadeth [07502] sharp pointed things [02742] upon the mire [02916]. 18 41 31 He maketh the deep [04688] to boil [07570] like a pot [05518]: he maketh [07760] the sea [03220] like a pot of ointment [04841]. 18 41 32 He maketh a path [05410] to shine [0215] after [0310] him; one would think [02803] the deep [08415] to be hoary [07872]. 18 41 33 Upon earth [06083] there is not his like [04915], who is made [06213] without [01097] fear [02844]. 18 41 34 He beholdeth [07200] all high [01364] things: he is a king [04428] over all the children [01121] of pride [07830]. 18 42 1 Then Job [0347] answered [06030] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], 18 42 2 I know [03045] that thou canst do [03201] every thing, and that no thought [04209] can be withholden [01219] from thee. 18 42 3 Who is he that hideth [05956] counsel [06098] without knowledge [01847]? therefore have I uttered [05046] that I understood [0995] not; things too wonderful [06381] for me, which I knew [03045] not. 18 42 4 Hear [08085], I beseech thee, and I will speak [01696]: I will demand [07592] of thee, and declare [03045] thou unto me. 18 42 5 I have heard [08085] of thee by the hearing [08088] of the ear [0241]: but now mine eye [05869] seeth [07200] thee. 18 42 6 Wherefore I abhor [03988] myself, and repent [05162] in dust [06083] and ashes [0665]. 18 42 7 And it was so, that after [0310] the LORD [03068] had spoken [01696] these words [01697] unto Job [0347], the LORD [03068] said [0559] to Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489], My wrath [0639] is kindled [02734] against thee, and against thy two [08147] friends [07453]: for ye have not spoken [01696] of me the thing that is right [03559], as my servant [05650] Job [0347] hath. 18 42 8 Therefore take [03947] unto you now seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352], and go [03212] to my servant [05650] Job [0347], and offer up [05927] for yourselves a burnt offering [05930]; and my servant [05650] Job [0347] shall pray [06419] for you: for him [06440] will I accept [05375]: lest I deal [06213] with you after your folly [05039], in that ye have not spoken [01696] of me the thing which is right [03559], like my servant [05650] Job [0347]. 18 42 9 So Eliphaz [0464] the Temanite [08489] and Bildad [01085] the Shuhite [07747] and Zophar [06691] the Naamathite [05284] went [03212], and did [06213] according as the LORD [03068] commanded [01696] them: the LORD [03068] also accepted [05375] Job [06440] [0347]. 18 42 10 And the LORD [03068] turned [07725] the captivity [07622] [07622] of Job [0347], when he prayed [06419] for his friends [07453]: also the LORD [03068] gave [03254] Job [0347] twice as much [04932] as he had before. 18 42 11 Then came [0935] there unto him all his brethren [0251], and all his sisters [0269], and all they that had been of his acquaintance [03045] before [06440], and did eat [0398] bread [03899] with him in his house [01004]: and they bemoaned [05110] him, and comforted [05162] him over all the evil [07451] that the LORD [03068] had brought [0935] upon him: every man [0376] also gave [05414] him a [0259] piece of money [07192], and every one [0376] an earring [05141] of gold [02091]. 18 42 12 So the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the latter end [0319] of Job [0347] more than his beginning [07225]: for he had fourteen [0702] [06240] thousand [0505] sheep [06629], and six [08337] thousand [0505] camels [01581], and a thousand [0505] yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and a thousand [0505] she asses [0860]. 18 42 13 He had also seven [07658] sons [01121] and three [07969] daughters [01323]. 18 42 14 And he called [07121] the name [08034] of the first [0259], Jemima [03224]; and the name [08034] of the second [08145], Kezia [07103]; and the name [08034] of the third [07992], Kerenhappuch [07163]. 18 42 15 And in all the land [0776] were no women [0802] found [04672] so fair [03303] as the daughters [01323] of Job [0347]: and their father [01] gave [05414] them inheritance [05159] among [08432] their brethren [0251]. 18 42 16 After [0310] this lived [02421] Job [0347] an hundred [03967] and forty [0705] years [08141], and saw [07200] his sons [01121], and his sons [01121]' sons [01121], even four [0702] generations [01755]. 18 42 17 So Job [0347] died [04191], being old [02205] and full [07649] of days [03117]. 19 1 1 Blessed [0835] is the man [0376] that walketh [01980] not in the counsel [06098] of the ungodly [07563], nor standeth [05975] in the way [01870] of sinners [02400], nor sitteth [03427] in the seat [04186] of the scornful [03887]. 19 1 2 But his delight [02656] is in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068]; and in his law [08451] doth he meditate [01897] day [03119] and night [03915]. 19 1 3 And he shall be like a tree [06086] planted [08362] by the rivers [06388] of water [04325], that bringeth forth [05414] his fruit [06529] in his season [06256]; his leaf [05929] also shall not wither [05034]; and whatsoever he doeth [06213] shall prosper [06743]. 19 1 4 The ungodly [07563] are not so: but are like the chaff [04671] which the wind [07307] driveth away [05086]. 19 1 5 Therefore the ungodly [07563] shall not stand [06965] in the judgment [04941], nor sinners [02400] in the congregation [05712] of the righteous [06662]. 19 1 6 For the LORD [03068] knoweth [03045] the way [01870] of the righteous [06662]: but the way [01870] of the ungodly [07563] shall perish [06]. 19 2 1 Why do the heathen [01471] rage [07283], and the people [03816] imagine [01897] a vain thing [07385]? 19 2 2 The kings [04428] of the earth [0776] set [03320] themselves, and the rulers [07336] take counsel [03245] together [03162], against the LORD [03068], and against his anointed [04899], saying, 19 2 3 Let us break [05423] their bands [04147] asunder [05423], and cast away [07993] their cords [05688] from us. 19 2 4 He that sitteth [03427] in the heavens [08064] shall laugh [07832]: the Lord [0136] shall have them in derision [03932]. 19 2 5 Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740]. 19 2 6 Yet have I set [05258] my king [04428] upon my holy [06944] hill [02022] of Zion [06726]. 19 2 7 I will declare [05608] the decree [02706]: the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto me, Thou art my Son [01121]; this day [03117] have I begotten [03205] thee. 19 2 8 Ask [07592] of me, and I shall give [05414] thee the heathen [01471] for thine inheritance [05159], and the uttermost parts [0657] of the earth [0776] for thy possession [0272]. 19 2 9 Thou shalt break [07489] them with a rod [07626] of iron [01270]; thou shalt dash them in pieces [05310] like a potter's [03335] vessel [03627]. 19 2 10 Be wise [07919] now therefore, O ye kings [04428]: be instructed [03256], ye judges [08199] of the earth [0776]. 19 2 11 Serve [05647] the LORD [03068] with fear [03374], and rejoice [01523] with trembling [07461]. 19 2 12 Kiss [05401] the Son [01248], lest he be angry [0599], and ye perish [06] from the way [01870], when his wrath [0639] is kindled [01197] but a little [04592]. Blessed [0835] are all they that put their trust [02620] in him. 19 3 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when he fled [01272] from [06440] Absalom [053] his son [01121]. LORD [03068], how are they increased [07231] that trouble [06862] me! many [07227] are they that rise up [06965] against me. 19 3 2 Many [07227] there be which say [0559] of my soul [05315], There is no help [03444] for him in God [0430]. Selah [05542]. 19 3 3 But thou, O LORD [03068], art a shield [04043] for me; my glory [03519], and the lifter up [07311] of mine head [07218]. 19 3 4 I cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068] with my voice [06963], and he heard [06030] me out of his holy [06944] hill [02022]. Selah [05542]. 19 3 5 I laid me down [07901] and slept [03462]; I awaked [06974]; for the LORD [03068] sustained [05564] me. 19 3 6 I will not be afraid [03372] of ten thousands [07233] of people [05971], that have set [07896] themselves against me round about [05439]. 19 3 7 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; save [03467] me, O my God [0430]: for thou hast smitten [05221] all mine enemies [0341] upon the cheek bone [03895]; thou hast broken [07665] the teeth [08127] of the ungodly [07563]. 19 3 8 Salvation [03444] belongeth unto the LORD [03068]: thy blessing [01293] is upon thy people [05971]. Selah [05542]. 19 4 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Hear [06030] me when I call [07121], O God [0430] of my righteousness [06664]: thou hast enlarged [07337] me when I was in distress [06862]; have mercy [02603] upon me, and hear [08085] my prayer [08605]. 19 4 2 O ye sons [01121] of men [0376], how long [05704] will ye turn my glory [03519] into shame [03639]? how long will ye love [0157] vanity [07385], and seek [01245] after leasing [03577]? Selah [05542]. 19 4 3 But know [03045] that the LORD [03068] hath set apart [06395] him that is godly [02623] for himself: the LORD [03068] will hear [08085] when I call [07121] unto him. 19 4 4 Stand in awe [07264], and sin [02398] not: commune [0559] with your own heart [03824] upon your bed [04904], and be still [01826]. Selah [05542]. 19 4 5 Offer [02076] the sacrifices [02077] of righteousness [06664], and put your trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]. 19 4 6 There be many [07227] that say [0559], Who will shew [07200] us any good [02896]? LORD [03068], lift thou up [05375] the light [0216] of thy countenance [06440] upon us. 19 4 7 Thou hast put [05414] gladness [08057] in my heart [03820], more than in the time [06256] that their corn [01715] and their wine [08492] increased [07231]. 19 4 8 I will both [03162] lay me down [07901] in peace [07965], and sleep [03462]: for thou, LORD [03068], only [0910] makest me dwell [03427] in safety [0983]. 19 5 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Nehiloth [05155], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Give ear [0238] to my words [0561], O LORD [03068], consider [0995] my meditation [01901]. 19 5 2 Hearken [07181] unto the voice [06963] of my cry [07773], my King [04428], and my God [0430]: for unto thee will I pray [06419]. 19 5 3 My voice [06963] shalt thou hear [08085] in the morning [01242], O LORD [03068]; in the morning [01242] will I direct [06186] my prayer unto thee, and will look up [06822]. 19 5 4 For thou art not a God [0410] that hath pleasure [02655] in wickedness [07562]: neither shall evil [07451] dwell [01481] with thee. 19 5 5 The foolish [01984] shall not stand [03320] in thy sight [05869]: thou hatest [08130] all workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]. 19 5 6 Thou shalt destroy [06] them that speak [01696] leasing [03577]: the LORD [03068] will abhor [08581] the bloody [01818] and deceitful [04820] man [0376]. 19 5 7 But as for me, I will come [0935] into thy house [01004] in the multitude [07230] of thy mercy [02617]: and in thy fear [03374] will I worship [07812] toward thy holy [06944] temple [01964]. 19 5 8 Lead [05148] me, O LORD [03068], in thy righteousness [06666] because of mine enemies [08324]; make thy way [01870] straight [03474] before my face [06440]. 19 5 9 For there is no faithfulness [03559] in their mouth [06310]; their inward [07130] part is very wickedness [01942]; their throat [01627] is an open [06605] sepulchre [06913]; they flatter [02505] with their tongue [03956]. 19 5 10 Destroy [0816] thou them, O God [0430]; let them fall [05307] by their own counsels [04156]; cast them out [05080] in the multitude [07230] of their transgressions [06588]; for they have rebelled [04784] against thee. 19 5 11 But let all those that put their trust [02620] in thee rejoice [08055]: let them ever [05769] shout for joy [07442], because thou defendest [05526] them: let them also that love [0157] thy name [08034] be joyful [05970] in thee. 19 5 12 For thou, LORD [03068], wilt bless [01288] the righteous [06662]; with favour [07522] wilt thou compass [05849] him as with a shield [06793]. 19 6 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058] upon Sheminith [08067], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O LORD [03068], rebuke [03198] me not in thine anger [0639], neither chasten [03256] me in thy hot displeasure [02534]. 19 6 2 Have mercy [02603] upon me, O LORD [03068]; for I am weak [0536]: O LORD [03068], heal [07495] me; for my bones [06106] are vexed [0926]. 19 6 3 My soul [05315] is also sore [03966] vexed [0926]: but thou, O LORD [03068], how long? 19 6 4 Return [07725], O LORD [03068], deliver [02502] my soul [05315]: oh save [03467] me for thy mercies [02617]' sake. 19 6 5 For in death [04194] there is no remembrance [02143] of thee: in the grave [07585] who shall give thee thanks [03034]? 19 6 6 I am weary [03021] with my groaning [0585]; all the night [03915] make I my bed [04296] to swim [07811]; I water [04529] my couch [06210] with my tears [01832]. 19 6 7 Mine eye [05869] is consumed [06244] because of grief [03708]; it waxeth old [06275] because of all mine enemies [06887]. 19 6 8 Depart [05493] from me, all ye workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]; for the LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of my weeping [01065]. 19 6 9 The LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] my supplication [08467]; the LORD [03068] will receive [03947] my prayer [08605]. 19 6 10 Let all mine enemies [0341] be ashamed [0954] and sore [03966] vexed [0926]: let them return [07725] and be ashamed [0954] suddenly [07281]. 19 7 1 Shiggaion [07692] of David [01732], which he sang [07891] unto the LORD [03068], concerning the words [01697] of Cush [03568] the Benjamite [01121] [01145]. O LORD [03068] my God [0430], in thee do I put my trust [02620]: save [03467] me from all them that persecute [07291] me, and deliver [05337] me: 19 7 2 Lest he tear [02963] my soul [05315] like a lion [0738], rending it in pieces [06561], while there is none to deliver [05337]. 19 7 3 O LORD [03068] my God [0430], if I have done [06213] this; if there be [03426] iniquity [05766] in my hands [03709]; 19 7 4 If I have rewarded [01580] evil [07451] unto him that was at peace [07999] with me; (yea, I have delivered [02502] him that without cause [07387] is mine enemy [06887] 19 7 5 Let the enemy [0341] persecute [07291] my soul [05315], and take [05381] it; yea, let him tread down [07429] my life [02416] upon the earth [0776], and lay [07931] mine honour [03519] in the dust [06083]. Selah [05542]. 19 7 6 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068], in thine anger [0639], lift up [05375] thyself because of the rage [05678] of mine enemies [06887]: and awake [05782] for me to the judgment [04941] that thou hast commanded [06680]. 19 7 7 So shall the congregation [05712] of the people [03816] compass thee about [05437]: for their sakes therefore return [07725] thou on high [04791]. 19 7 8 The LORD [03068] shall judge [01777] the people [05971]: judge [08199] me, O LORD [03068], according to my righteousness [06664], and according to mine integrity [08537] that is in me. 19 7 9 Oh let the wickedness [07451] of the wicked [07563] come to an end [01584]; but establish [03559] the just [06662]: for the righteous [06662] God [0430] trieth [0974] the hearts [03826] and reins [03629]. 19 7 10 My defence [04043] is of God [0430], which saveth [03467] the upright [03477] in heart [03820]. 19 7 11 God [0430] judgeth [08199] the righteous [06662], and God [0410] is angry [02194] with the wicked every day [03117]. 19 7 12 If he turn [07725] not, he will whet [03913] his sword [02719]; he hath bent [01869] his bow [07198], and made it ready [03559]. 19 7 13 He hath also prepared [03559] for him the instruments [03627] of death [04194]; he ordaineth [06466] his arrows [02671] against the persecutors [01814]. 19 7 14 Behold, he travaileth [02254] with iniquity [0205], and hath conceived [02029] mischief [05999], and brought forth [03205] falsehood [08267]. 19 7 15 He made [03738] a pit [0953], and digged [02658] it, and is fallen [05307] into the ditch [07845] which he made [06466]. 19 7 16 His mischief [05999] shall return [07725] upon his own head [07218], and his violent [02555] dealing shall come down [03381] upon his own pate [06936]. 19 7 17 I will praise [03034] the LORD [03068] according to his righteousness [06664]: and will sing praise [02167] to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] most high [05945]. 19 8 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Gittith [01665], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O LORD [03068] our Lord [0113], how excellent [0117] is thy name [08034] in all the earth [0776]! who hast set [05414] thy glory [01935] above the heavens [08064]. 19 8 2 Out of the mouth [06310] of babes [05768] and sucklings [03243] hast thou ordained [03245] strength [05797] because of thine enemies [06887], that thou mightest still [07673] the enemy [0341] and the avenger [05358]. 19 8 3 When I consider [07200] thy heavens [08064], the work [04639] of thy fingers [0676], the moon [03394] and the stars [03556], which thou hast ordained [03559]; 19 8 4 What is man [0582], that thou art mindful [02142] of him? and the son [01121] of man [0120], that thou visitest [06485] him? 19 8 5 For thou hast made him a little [04592] lower [02637] than the angels [0430], and hast crowned [05849] him with glory [03519] and honour [01926]. 19 8 6 Thou madest him to have dominion [04910] over the works [04639] of thy hands [03027]; thou hast put [07896] all things under his feet [07272]: 19 8 7 All sheep [06792] and oxen [0504], yea, and the beasts [0929] of the field [07704]; 19 8 8 The fowl [06833] of the air [08064], and the fish [01709] of the sea [03220], and whatsoever passeth through [05674] the paths [0734] of the seas [03220]. 19 8 9 O LORD [03068] our Lord [0113], how excellent [0117] is thy name [08034] in all the earth [0776]! 19 9 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Muthlabben [04192] [01121], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. I will praise [03034] thee, O LORD [03068], with my whole heart [03820]; I will shew forth [05608] all thy marvellous works [06381]. 19 9 2 I will be glad [08055] and rejoice [05970] in thee: I will sing praise [02167] to thy name [08034], O thou most High [05945]. 19 9 3 When mine enemies [0341] are turned [07725] back [0268], they shall fall [03782] and perish [06] at thy presence [06440]. 19 9 4 For thou hast maintained [06213] my right [04941] and my cause [01779]; thou satest [03427] in the throne [03678] judging [08199] right [06664]. 19 9 5 Thou hast rebuked [01605] the heathen [01471], thou hast destroyed [06] the wicked [07563], thou hast put out [04229] their name [08034] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 9 6 O thou enemy [0341], destructions [02723] are come to a perpetual [05331] end [08552]: and thou hast destroyed [05428] cities [06145] [05892]; their memorial [02143] is perished [06] with them [01992]. 19 9 7 But the LORD [03068] shall endure [03427] for ever [05769]: he hath prepared [03559] his throne [03678] for judgment [04941]. 19 9 8 And he shall judge [08199] the world [08398] in righteousness [06664], he shall minister judgment [01777] to the people [03816] in uprightness [04339]. 19 9 9 The LORD [03068] also will be a refuge [04869] for the oppressed [01790], a refuge [04869] in times [06256] of trouble [06869]. 19 9 10 And they that know [03045] thy name [08034] will put their trust [0982] in thee: for thou, LORD [03068], hast not forsaken [05800] them that seek [01875] thee. 19 9 11 Sing praises [02167] to the LORD [03068], which dwelleth [03427] in Zion [06726]: declare [05046] among the people [05971] his doings [05949]. 19 9 12 When he maketh inquisition [01875] for blood [01818], he remembereth [02142] them: he forgetteth [07911] not the cry [06818] of the humble [06035] [06041]. 19 9 13 Have mercy [02603] upon me, O LORD [03068]; consider [07200] my trouble [06040] which I suffer of them that hate [08130] me, thou that liftest me up [07311] from the gates [08179] of death [04194]: 19 9 14 That I may shew forth [05608] all thy praise [08416] in the gates [08179] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: I will rejoice [01523] in thy salvation [03444]. 19 9 15 The heathen [01471] are sunk down [02883] in the pit [07845] that they made [06213]: in the net [07568] which [02098] they hid [02934] is their own foot [07272] taken [03920]. 19 9 16 The LORD [03068] is known [03045] by the judgment [04941] which he executeth [06213]: the wicked [07563] is snared [05367] in the work [06467] of his own hands [03709]. Higgaion [01902]. Selah [05542]. 19 9 17 The wicked [07563] shall be turned [07725] into hell [07585], and all the nations [01471] that forget [07913] God [0430]. 19 9 18 For the needy [034] shall not alway [05331] be forgotten [07911]: the expectation [08615] of the poor [06041] [06035] shall not perish [06] for ever [05703]. 19 9 19 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; let not man [0582] prevail [05810]: let the heathen [01471] be judged [08199] in thy sight [06440]. 19 9 20 Put [07896] them in fear [04172] [04172], O LORD [03068]: that the nations [01471] may know [03045] themselves to be but men [0582]. Selah [05542]. 19 10 1 Why standest [05975] thou afar off [07350], O LORD [03068]? why hidest [05956] thou thyself in times [06256] of trouble [06869]? 19 10 2 The wicked [07563] in his pride [01346] doth persecute [01814] the poor [06041]: let them be taken [08610] in the devices [04209] that [02098] they have imagined [02803]. 19 10 3 For the wicked [07563] boasteth [01984] of his heart's [05315] desire [08378], and blesseth [01288] the covetous [01214], whom the LORD [03068] abhorreth [05006]. 19 10 4 The wicked [07563], through the pride [01363] of his countenance [0639], will not seek [01875] after God: God [0430] is not in all his thoughts [04209]. 19 10 5 His ways [01870] are always [06256] grievous [02342]; thy judgments [04941] are far above [04791] out of his sight: as for all his enemies [06887], he puffeth [06315] at them. 19 10 6 He hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], I shall not be moved [04131]: for I shall never [01755] [01755] be in adversity [07451]. 19 10 7 His mouth [06310] is full [04390] of cursing [0423] and deceit [04820] and fraud [08496]: under his tongue [03956] is mischief [05999] and vanity [0205]. 19 10 8 He sitteth [03427] in the lurking places [03993] of the villages [02691]: in the secret places [04565] doth he murder [02026] the innocent [05355]: his eyes [05869] are privily set [06845] against the poor [02489]. 19 10 9 He lieth in wait [0693] secretly [04565] as a lion [0738] in his den [05520]: he lieth in wait [0693] to catch [02414] the poor [06041]: he doth catch [02414] the poor [06041], when he draweth [04900] him into his net [07568]. 19 10 10 He croucheth [01794], and humbleth [07817] himself, that the poor [02426] [02489] [02489] may fall [05307] by his strong ones [06099]. 19 10 11 He hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], God [0410] hath forgotten [07911]: he hideth [05641] his face [06440]; he will never [05331] see [07200] it. 19 10 12 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068]; O God [0410], lift up [05375] thine hand [03027]: forget [07911] not the humble [06035] [06041]. 19 10 13 Wherefore doth the wicked [07563] contemn [05006] God [0430]? he hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], Thou wilt not require [01875] it. 19 10 14 Thou hast seen [07200] it; for thou beholdest [05027] mischief [05999] and spite [03708], to requite [05414] it with thy hand [03027]: the poor [02489] committeth [05800] himself unto thee; thou art the helper [05826] of the fatherless [03490]. 19 10 15 Break [07665] thou the arm [02220] of the wicked [07563] and the evil [07451] man: seek out [01875] his wickedness [07562] till thou find [04672] none [01077]. 19 10 16 The LORD [03068] is King [04428] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: the heathen [01471] are perished [06] out of his land [0776]. 19 10 17 LORD [03068], thou hast heard [08085] the desire [08378] of the humble [06035]: thou wilt prepare [03559] their heart [03820], thou wilt cause thine ear [0241] to hear [07181]: 19 10 18 To judge [08199] the fatherless [03490] and the oppressed [01790], that the man [0582] of the earth [0776] may no more [03254] oppress [06206]. 19 11 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732]. In the LORD [03068] put I my trust [02620]: how say [0559] ye to my soul [05315], Flee [05110] as a bird [06833] to your mountain [02022]? 19 11 2 For, lo, the wicked [07563] bend [01869] their bow [07198], they make ready [03559] their arrow [02671] upon the string [03499], that they may privily [0652] [01119] shoot [03384] at the upright [03477] in heart [03820]. 19 11 3 If the foundations [08356] be destroyed [02040], what can the righteous [06662] do [06466]? 19 11 4 The LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964], the LORD'S [03068] throne [03678] is in heaven [08064]: his eyes [05869] behold [02372], his eyelids [06079] try [0974], the children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 11 5 The LORD [03068] trieth [0974] the righteous [06662]: but the wicked [07563] and him that loveth [0157] violence [02555] his soul [05315] hateth [08130]. 19 11 6 Upon the wicked [07563] he shall rain [04305] snares [06341], fire [0784] and brimstone [01614], and an horrible [02152] tempest [07307]: this shall be the portion [04521] of their cup [03563]. 19 11 7 For the righteous [06662] LORD [03068] loveth [0157] righteousness [06666]; his countenance [06440] doth behold [02372] the upright [03477]. 19 12 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Sheminith [08067], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Help [03467], LORD [03068]; for the godly man [02623] ceaseth [01584]; for the faithful [0539] fail [06461] from among the children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 12 2 They speak [01696] vanity [07723] every one [0376] with his neighbour [07453]: with flattering [02513] lips [08193] and with a double [03820] heart [03820] do they speak [01696]. 19 12 3 The LORD [03068] shall cut off [03772] all flattering [02513] lips [08193], and the tongue [03956] that speaketh [01696] proud [01419] things: 19 12 4 Who have said [0559], With our tongue [03956] will we prevail [01396]; our lips [08193] are our own: who is lord [0113] over us? 19 12 5 For the oppression [07701] of the poor [06041], for the sighing [0603] of the needy [034], now will I arise [06965], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; I will set [07896] him in safety [03468] from him that puffeth [06315] at him. 19 12 6 The words [0565] of the LORD [03068] are pure [02889] words [0565]: as silver [03701] tried [06884] in a furnace [05948] of earth [0776], purified [02212] seven times [07659]. 19 12 7 Thou shalt keep [08104] them, O LORD [03068], thou shalt preserve [05341] them from this [02098] generation [01755] for ever [05769]. 19 12 8 The wicked [07563] walk [01980] on every side [05439], when the vilest [02149] men [01121] [0120] are exalted [07311]. 19 13 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. How long wilt thou forget [07911] me, O LORD [03068]? for ever [05331]? how long wilt thou hide [05641] thy face [06440] from me? 19 13 2 How long shall I take [07896] counsel [06098] in my soul [05315], having sorrow [03015] in my heart [03824] daily [03119]? how long shall mine enemy [0341] be exalted [07311] over me? 19 13 3 Consider [05027] and hear [06030] me, O LORD [03068] my God [0430]: lighten [0215] mine eyes [05869], lest I sleep [03462] the sleep of death [04194]; 19 13 4 Lest mine enemy [0341] say [0559], I have prevailed [03201] against him; and those that trouble [06862] me rejoice [01523] when I am moved [04131]. 19 13 5 But I have trusted [0982] in thy mercy [02617]; my heart [03820] shall rejoice [01523] in thy salvation [03444]. 19 13 6 I will sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], because he hath dealt bountifully [01580] with me. 19 14 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732]. The fool [05036] hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], There is no God [0430]. They are corrupt [07843], they have done abominable [08581] works [05949], there is none that doeth [06213] good [02896]. 19 14 2 The LORD [03068] looked down [08259] from heaven [08064] upon the children [01121] of men [0120], to see [07200] if there [03426] were any that did understand [07919], and seek [01875] God [0430]. 19 14 3 They are all gone aside [05493], they are all together [03162] become filthy [0444]: there is none that doeth [06213] good [02896], no, not one [0259]. 19 14 4 Have all the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] no knowledge [03045]? who eat up [0398] my people [05971] as they eat [0398] bread [03899], and call [07121] not upon the LORD [03068]. 19 14 5 There were they in great [06343] fear [06342]: for God [0430] is in the generation [01755] of the righteous [06662]. 19 14 6 Ye have shamed [0954] the counsel [06098] of the poor [06041], because the LORD [03068] is his refuge [04268]. 19 14 7 Oh that [05414] the salvation [03444] of Israel [03478] were come out of Zion [06726]! when the LORD [03068] bringeth back [07725] the captivity [07622] of his people [05971], Jacob [03290] shall rejoice [01523], and Israel [03478] shall be glad [08055]. 19 15 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. LORD [03068], who shall abide [01481] in thy tabernacle [0168]? who shall dwell [07931] in thy holy [06944] hill [02022]? 19 15 2 He that walketh [01980] uprightly [08549], and worketh [06466] righteousness [06664], and speaketh [01696] the truth [0571] in his heart [03824]. 19 15 3 He that backbiteth [07270] not with his tongue [03956], nor doeth [06213] evil [07451] to his neighbour [07453], nor taketh up [05375] a reproach [02781] against his neighbour [07138]. 19 15 4 In whose eyes [05869] a vile person [03988] is contemned [0959]; but he honoureth [03513] them that fear [03373] the LORD [03068]. He that sweareth [07650] to his own hurt [07489], and changeth [04171] not. 19 15 5 He that putteth not out [05414] his money [03701] to usury [05392], nor taketh [03947] reward [07810] against the innocent [05355]. He that doeth [06213] these things shall never [05769] be moved [04131]. 19 16 1 Michtam [04387] of David [01732]. Preserve [08104] me, O God [0410]: for in thee do I put my trust [02620]. 19 16 2 O my soul, thou hast said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], Thou art my Lord [0136]: my goodness [02896] extendeth not to thee; 19 16 3 But to the saints [06918] that [01992] are in the earth [0776], and to the excellent [0117], in whom is all my delight [02656]. 19 16 4 Their sorrows [06094] shall be multiplied [07235] that hasten [04116] after another [0312] god: their drink offerings [05262] of blood [01818] will I not offer [05258], nor [01077] take up [05375] their names [08034] into my lips [08193]. 19 16 5 The LORD [03068] is the portion [04490] of mine inheritance [02506] and of my cup [03563]: thou maintainest [08551] my lot [01486]. 19 16 6 The lines [02256] are fallen [05307] unto me in pleasant [05273] places; yea, I have a goodly [08231] heritage [05159]. 19 16 7 I will bless [01288] the LORD [03068], who hath given me counsel [03289]: my reins [03629] also instruct [03256] me in the night seasons [03915]. 19 16 8 I have set [07737] the LORD [03068] always [08548] before me: because he is at my right hand [03225], I shall not be moved [04131]. 19 16 9 Therefore my heart [03820] is glad [08055], and my glory [03519] rejoiceth [01523]: my flesh [01320] also shall rest [07931] in hope [0983]. 19 16 10 For thou wilt not leave [05800] my soul [05315] in hell [07585]; neither wilt thou suffer [05414] thine Holy One [02623] to see [07200] corruption [07845]. 19 16 11 Thou wilt shew [03045] me the path [0734] of life [02416]: in thy presence [06440] is fulness [07648] of joy [08057]; at thy right hand [03225] there are pleasures [05273] for evermore [05331]. 19 17 1 A Prayer [08605] of David [01732]. Hear [08085] the right [06664], O LORD [03068], attend [07181] unto my cry [07440], give ear [0238] unto my prayer [08605], that goeth not [03808] out of feigned [04820] lips [08193]. 19 17 2 Let my sentence [04941] come forth [03318] from thy presence [06440]; let thine eyes [05869] behold [02372] the things that are equal [04339]. 19 17 3 Thou hast proved [0974] mine heart [03820]; thou hast visited [06485] me in the night [03915]; thou hast tried [06884] me, and shalt find [04672] nothing; I am purposed [02161] that my mouth [06310] shall not transgress [05674]. 19 17 4 Concerning the works [06468] of men [0120], by the word [01697] of thy lips [08193] I have kept [08104] me from the paths [0734] of the destroyer [06530]. 19 17 5 Hold up [08551] my goings [0838] in thy paths [04570], that my footsteps [06471] slip [04131] not. 19 17 6 I have called [07121] upon thee, for thou wilt hear [06030] me, O God [0410]: incline [05186] thine ear [0241] unto me, and hear [08085] my speech [0565]. 19 17 7 Shew thy marvellous [06395] lovingkindness [02617], O thou that savest [03467] by thy right hand [03225] them which put their trust [02620] in thee from those that rise up [06965] against them. 19 17 8 Keep [08104] me as the apple [0380] of the eye [01323] [05869], hide [05641] me under the shadow [06738] of thy wings [03671], 19 17 9 From [06440] the wicked [07563] that [02098] oppress [07703] me, from my deadly [05315] enemies [0341], who compass me about [05362]. 19 17 10 They are inclosed [05462] in their own fat [02459]: with their mouth [06310] they speak [01696] proudly [01348]. 19 17 11 They have now compassed [05437] us in our steps [0838]: they have set [07896] their eyes [05869] bowing down [05186] to the earth [0776]; 19 17 12 Like [01825] as a lion [0738] that is greedy [03700] of his prey [02963], and as it were a young lion [03715] lurking [03427] in secret places [04565]. 19 17 13 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068], disappoint [06923] him [06440], cast him down [03766]: deliver [06403] my soul [05315] from the wicked [07563], which is thy sword [02719]: 19 17 14 From men [04962] which are thy hand [03027], O LORD [03068], from men [04962] of the world [02465], which have their portion [02506] in this life [02416], and whose belly [0990] thou fillest [04390] with thy hid [06840] treasure: they are full [07646] of children [01121], and leave [03240] the rest [03499] of their substance to their babes [05768]. 19 17 15 As for me, I will behold [02372] thy face [06440] in righteousness [06664]: I shall be satisfied [07646], when I awake [06974], with thy likeness [08544]. 19 18 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732], the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068], who spake [01696] unto the LORD [03068] the words [01697] of this song [07892] in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] delivered [05337] him from the hand [03709] of all his enemies [0341], and from the hand [03027] of Saul [07586]: And he said [0559], I will love [07355] thee, O LORD [03068], my strength [02391]. 19 18 2 The LORD [03068] is my rock [05553], and my fortress [04686], and my deliverer [06403]; my God [0410], my strength [06697], in whom I will trust [02620]; my buckler [04043], and the horn [07161] of my salvation [03468], and my high tower [04869]. 19 18 3 I will call [07121] upon the LORD [03068], who is worthy to be praised [01984]: so shall I be saved [03467] from mine enemies [0341]. 19 18 4 The sorrows [02256] of death [04194] compassed [0661] me, and the floods [05158] of ungodly men [01100] made me afraid [01204]. 19 18 5 The sorrows [02256] of hell [07585] compassed me about [05437]: the snares [04170] of death [04194] prevented [06923] me. 19 18 6 In my distress [06862] I called [07121] upon the LORD [03068], and cried [07768] unto my God [0430]: he heard [08085] my voice [06963] out of his temple [01964], and my cry [07775] came [0935] before [06440] him, even into his ears [0241]. 19 18 7 Then the earth [0776] shook [01607] and trembled [07493]; the foundations [04146] also of the hills [02022] moved [07264] and were shaken [01607], because he was wroth [02734]. 19 18 8 There went up [05927] a smoke [06227] out of his nostrils [0639], and fire [0784] out of his mouth [06310] devoured [0398]: coals [01513] were kindled [01197] by it. 19 18 9 He bowed [05186] the heavens [08064] also, and came down [03381]: and darkness [06205] was under his feet [07272]. 19 18 10 And he rode [07392] upon a cherub [03742], and did fly [05774]: yea, he did fly [01675] upon the wings [03671] of the wind [07307]. 19 18 11 He made [07896] darkness [02822] his secret place [05643]; his pavilion [05521] round about [05439] him were dark [02824] waters [04325] and thick clouds [05645] of the skies [07834]. 19 18 12 At the brightness [05051] that was before him his thick clouds [05645] passed [05674], hail [01259] stones and coals [01513] of fire [0784]. 19 18 13 The LORD [03068] also thundered [07481] in the heavens [08064], and the Highest [05945] gave [05414] his voice [06963]; hail [01259] stones and coals [01513] of fire [0784]. 19 18 14 Yea, he sent out [07971] his arrows [02671], and scattered [06327] them; and he shot out [07232] lightnings [01300], and discomfited [02000] them. 19 18 15 Then the channels [0650] of waters [04325] were seen [07200], and the foundations [04146] of the world [08398] were discovered [01540] at thy rebuke [01606], O LORD [03068], at the blast [05397] of the breath [07307] of thy nostrils [0639]. 19 18 16 He sent [07971] from above [04791], he took [03947] me, he drew [04871] me out of many [07227] waters [04325]. 19 18 17 He delivered [05337] me from my strong [05794] enemy [0341], and from them which hated [08130] me: for they were too strong [0553] for me. 19 18 18 They prevented [06923] me in the day [03117] of my calamity [0343]: but the LORD [03068] was my stay [04937]. 19 18 19 He brought me forth [03318] also into a large place [04800]; he delivered [02502] me, because he delighted [02654] in me. 19 18 20 The LORD [03068] rewarded [01580] me according to my righteousness [06664]; according to the cleanness [01252] of my hands [03027] hath he recompensed [07725] me. 19 18 21 For I have kept [08104] the ways [01870] of the LORD [03068], and have not wickedly departed [07561] from my God [0430]. 19 18 22 For all his judgments [04941] were before me, and I did not put away [05493] his statutes [02708] from me. 19 18 23 I was also upright [08549] before him, and I kept [08104] myself from mine iniquity [05771]. 19 18 24 Therefore hath the LORD [03068] recompensed [07725] me according to my righteousness [06664], according to the cleanness [01252] of my hands [03027] in his eyesight [05869]. 19 18 25 With the merciful [02623] thou wilt shew thyself merciful [02616]; with an upright [08549] man [01399] thou wilt shew thyself upright [08552]; 19 18 26 With the pure [01305] thou wilt shew thyself pure [01305]; and with the froward [06141] thou wilt shew thyself froward [06617]. 19 18 27 For thou wilt save [03467] the afflicted [06041] people [05971]; but wilt bring down [08213] high [07311] looks [05869]. 19 18 28 For thou wilt light [0215] my candle [05216]: the LORD [03068] my God [0430] will enlighten [05050] my darkness [02822]. 19 18 29 For by thee I have run through [07323] a troop [01416]; and by my God [0430] have I leaped over [01801] a wall [07791]. 19 18 30 As for God [0410], his way [01870] is perfect [08549]: the word [0565] of the LORD [03068] is tried [06884]: he is a buckler [04043] to all those that trust [02620] in him. 19 18 31 For who is God [0433] save [01107] the LORD [03068]? or who is a rock [06697] save [02108] our God [0430]? 19 18 32 It is God [0410] that girdeth [0247] me with strength [02428], and maketh [05414] my way [01870] perfect [08549]. 19 18 33 He maketh [07737] my feet [07272] like hinds [0355]' feet, and setteth [05975] me upon my high places [01116]. 19 18 34 He teacheth [03925] my hands [03027] to war [04421], so that a bow [07198] of steel [05154] is broken [05181] by mine arms [02220]. 19 18 35 Thou hast also given [05414] me the shield [04043] of thy salvation [03468]: and thy right hand [03225] hath holden me up [05582], and thy gentleness [06037] hath made me great [07235]. 19 18 36 Thou hast enlarged [07337] my steps [06806] under me, that my feet [07166] did not slip [04571]. 19 18 37 I have pursued [07291] mine enemies [0341], and overtaken [05381] them: neither did I turn again [07725] till they were consumed [03615]. 19 18 38 I have wounded [04272] them that they were not able [03201] to rise [06965]: they are fallen [05307] under my feet [07272]. 19 18 39 For thou hast girded [0247] me with strength [02428] unto the battle [04421]: thou hast subdued [03766] under me those that rose up [06965] against me. 19 18 40 Thou hast also given [05414] me the necks [06203] of mine enemies [0341]; that I might destroy [06789] them that hate [08130] me. 19 18 41 They cried [07768], but there was none to save [03467] them: even unto the LORD [03068], but he answered [06030] them not. 19 18 42 Then did I beat [07833] them small as the dust [06083] before [06440] the wind [07307]: I did cast them out [07324] as the dirt [02916] in the streets [02351]. 19 18 43 Thou hast delivered [06403] me from the strivings [07379] of the people [05971]; and thou hast made [07760] me the head [07218] of the heathen [01471]: a people [05971] whom I have not known [03045] shall serve [05647] me. 19 18 44 As soon as they hear [08088] [0241] of me, they shall obey [08085] me: the strangers [01121] [05236] shall submit [03584] themselves unto me. 19 18 45 The strangers [01121] [05236] shall fade away [05034], and be afraid [02727] out of their close places [04526]. 19 18 46 The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]; and blessed [01288] be my rock [06697]; and let the God [0430] of my salvation [03468] be exalted [07311]. 19 18 47 It is God [0410] that avengeth [05414] [05360] me, and subdueth [01696] the people [05971] under me. 19 18 48 He delivereth [06403] me from mine enemies [0341]: yea, thou liftest me up [07311] above those that rise up [06965] against me: thou hast delivered [05337] me from the violent [02555] man [0376]. 19 18 49 Therefore will I give thanks [03034] unto thee, O LORD [03068], among the heathen [01471], and sing praises [02167] unto thy name [08034]. 19 18 50 Great [01431] deliverance [03444] giveth he to his king [04428]; and sheweth [06213] mercy [02617] to his anointed [04899], to David [01732], and to his seed [02233] for [05704] evermore [05769]. 19 19 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The heavens [08064] declare [05608] the glory [03519] of God [0410]; and the firmament [07549] sheweth his [05046] handywork [04639] [03027]. 19 19 2 Day [03117] unto day [03117] uttereth [05042] speech [0562], and night [03915] unto night [03915] sheweth [02331] knowledge [01847]. 19 19 3 There is no speech [0562] nor language [01697], where their voice [06963] is not heard [08085]. 19 19 4 Their line [06957] is gone out [03318] through all the earth [0776], and their words [04405] to the end [07097] of the world [08398]. In them hath he set [07760] a tabernacle [0168] for the sun [08121], 19 19 5 Which is as a bridegroom [02860] coming out [03318] of his chamber [02646], and rejoiceth [07797] as a strong man [01368] to run [07323] a race [0734]. 19 19 6 His going forth [04161] is from the end [07097] of the heaven [08064], and his circuit [08622] unto the ends [07098] of it: and there is nothing hid [05641] from the heat [02535] thereof. 19 19 7 The law [08451] of the LORD [03068] is perfect [08549], converting [07725] the soul [05315]: the testimony [05715] of the LORD [03068] is sure [0539], making wise [02449] the simple [06612]. 19 19 8 The statutes [06490] of the LORD [03068] are right [03477], rejoicing [08055] the heart [03820]: the commandment [04687] of the LORD [03068] is pure [01249], enlightening [0215] the eyes [05869]. 19 19 9 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is clean [02889], enduring [05975] for ever [05703]: the judgments [04941] of the LORD [03068] are true [0571] and righteous [06663] altogether [03162]. 19 19 10 More to be desired [02530] are they than gold [02091], yea, than much [07227] fine gold [06337]: sweeter [04966] also than honey [01706] and the honeycomb [05317] [06688]. 19 19 11 Moreover by them is thy servant [05650] warned [02094]: and in keeping [08104] of them there is great [07227] reward [06118]. 19 19 12 Who can understand [0995] his errors [07691]? cleanse [05352] thou me from secret [05641] faults. 19 19 13 Keep back [02820] thy servant [05650] also from presumptuous [02086] sins; let them not have dominion [04910] over me: then shall I be upright [08552], and I shall be innocent [05352] from the great [07227] transgression [06588]. 19 19 14 Let the words [0561] of my mouth [06310], and the meditation [01902] of my heart [03820], be acceptable [07522] in thy sight [06440], O LORD [03068], my strength [06697], and my redeemer [01350]. 19 20 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] hear [06030] thee in the day [03117] of trouble [06869]; the name [08034] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290] defend [07682] thee; 19 20 2 Send [07971] thee help [05828] from the sanctuary [06944], and strengthen [05582] thee out of Zion [06726]; 19 20 3 Remember [02142] all thy offerings [04503], and accept [01878] thy burnt sacrifice [05930]; Selah [05542]. 19 20 4 Grant [05414] thee according to thine own heart [03824], and fulfil [04390] all thy counsel [06098]. 19 20 5 We will rejoice [07442] in thy salvation [03444], and in the name [08034] of our God [0430] we will set up our banners [01713]: the LORD [03068] fulfil [04390] all thy petitions [04862]. 19 20 6 Now know [03045] I that the LORD [03068] saveth [03467] his anointed [04899]; he will hear [06030] him from his holy [06944] heaven [08064] with the saving [03468] strength [01369] of his right hand [03225]. 19 20 7 Some trust in chariots [07393], and some in horses [05483]: but we will remember [02142] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 19 20 8 They are brought down [03766] and fallen [05307]: but we are risen [06965], and stand upright [05749]. 19 20 9 Save [03467], LORD [03068]: let the king [04428] hear [06030] us when [03117] we call [07121]. 19 21 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The king [04428] shall joy [08055] in thy strength [05797], O LORD [03068]; and in thy salvation [03444] how greatly [03966] shall he rejoice [01523] ! 19 21 2 Thou hast given [05414] him his heart's [03820] desire [08378], and hast not withholden [04513] the request [0782] of his lips [08193]. Selah [05542]. 19 21 3 For thou preventest [06923] him with the blessings [01293] of goodness [02896]: thou settest [07896] a crown [05850] of pure gold [06337] on his head [07218]. 19 21 4 He asked [07592] life [02416] of thee, and thou gavest [05414] it him, even length [0753] of days [03117] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 21 5 His glory [03519] is great [01419] in thy salvation [03444]: honour [01935] and majesty [01926] hast thou laid [07737] upon him. 19 21 6 For thou hast made [07896] him most blessed [01293] for ever [05703]: thou hast made [02302] him exceeding glad [08057] with thy countenance [06440]. 19 21 7 For the king [04428] trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], and through the mercy [02617] of the most High [05945] he shall not be moved [04131]. 19 21 8 Thine hand [03027] shall find out [04672] all thine enemies [0341]: thy right hand [03225] shall find out [04672] those that hate [08130] thee. 19 21 9 Thou shalt make [07896] them as a fiery [0784] oven [08574] in the time [06256] of thine anger [06440]: the LORD [03068] shall swallow them up [01104] in his wrath [0639], and the fire [0784] shall devour [0398] them. 19 21 10 Their fruit [06529] shalt thou destroy [06] from the earth [0776], and their seed [02233] from among the children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 21 11 For they intended [05186] evil [07451] against thee: they imagined [02803] a mischievous device [04209], which they are not able [03201] to perform. 19 21 12 Therefore shalt thou make [07896] them turn their back [07926], when thou shalt make ready [03559] thine arrows upon thy strings [04340] against the face [06440] of them. 19 21 13 Be thou exalted [07311], LORD [03068], in thine own strength [05797]: so will we sing [07891] and praise [02167] thy power [01369]. 19 22 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Aijeleth [0365] Shahar [07837], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. My God [0410], my God [0410], why hast thou forsaken [05800] me? why art thou so far [07350] from helping [03444] me, and from the words [01697] of my roaring [07581]? 19 22 2 O my God [0430], I cry [07121] in the daytime [03119], but thou hearest [06030] not; and in the night season [03915], and am not silent [01747]. 19 22 3 But thou art holy [06918], O thou that inhabitest [03427] the praises [08416] of Israel [03478]. 19 22 4 Our fathers [01] trusted [0982] in thee: they trusted [0982], and thou didst deliver [06403] them. 19 22 5 They cried [02199] unto thee, and were delivered [04422]: they trusted [0982] in thee, and were not confounded [0954]. 19 22 6 But I am a worm [08438], and no man [0376]; a reproach [02781] of men [0120], and despised [0959] of the people [05971]. 19 22 7 All they that see [07200] me laugh me to scorn [03932]: they shoot out [06358] the lip [08193], they shake [05128] the head [07218], saying, 19 22 8 He trusted [01556] on the LORD [03068] that he would deliver [06403] him: let him deliver [05337] him, seeing he delighted [02654] in him. 19 22 9 But thou art he that took [01518] me out of the womb [0990]: thou didst make me hope [0982] when I was upon my mother's [0517] breasts [07699]. 19 22 10 I was cast [07993] upon thee from the womb [07358]: thou art my God [0410] from my mother's [0517] belly [0990]. 19 22 11 Be not far [07368] from me; for trouble [06869] is near [07138]; for there is none to help [05826]. 19 22 12 Many [07227] bulls [06499] have compassed [05437] me: strong [047] bulls of Bashan [01316] have beset me round [03803]. 19 22 13 They gaped [06475] upon me with their mouths [06310], as a ravening [02963] and a roaring [07580] lion [0738]. 19 22 14 I am poured out [08210] like water [04325], and all my bones [06106] are out of joint [06504]: my heart [03820] is like wax [01749]; it is melted [04549] in the midst [08432] of my bowels [04578]. 19 22 15 My strength [03581] is dried up [03001] like a potsherd [02789]; and my tongue [03956] cleaveth [01692] to my jaws [04455]; and thou hast brought [08239] me into the dust [06083] of death [04194]. 19 22 16 For dogs [03611] have compassed [05437] me: the assembly [05712] of the wicked [07489] have inclosed [05362] me: they pierced [03738] [0738] my hands [03027] and my feet [07272]. 19 22 17 I may tell [05608] all my bones [06106]: they look [05027] and stare [07200] upon me. 19 22 18 They part [02505] my garments [0899] among them, and cast [05307] lots [01486] upon my vesture [03830]. 19 22 19 But be not thou far [07368] from me, O LORD [03068]: O my strength [0360], haste [02363] thee to help [05833] me. 19 22 20 Deliver [05337] my soul [05315] from the sword [02719]; my darling [03173] from the power [03027] of the dog [03611]. 19 22 21 Save [03467] me from the lion's [0738] mouth [06310]: for thou hast heard [06030] me from the horns [07161] of the unicorns [07214]. 19 22 22 I will declare [05608] thy name [08034] unto my brethren [0251]: in the midst [08432] of the congregation [06951] will I praise [01984] thee. 19 22 23 Ye that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], praise [01984] him; all ye the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], glorify [03513] him; and fear [01481] him, all ye the seed [02233] of Israel [03478]. 19 22 24 For he hath not despised [0959] nor abhorred [08262] the affliction [06039] of the afflicted [06041]; neither hath he hid [05641] his face [06440] from him; but when he cried [07768] unto him, he heard [08085]. 19 22 25 My praise [08416] shall be of thee in the great [07227] congregation [06951]: I will pay [07999] my vows [05088] before them that fear [03373] him. 19 22 26 The meek [06035] shall eat [0398] and be satisfied [07646]: they shall praise [01984] the LORD [03068] that seek [01875] him: your heart [03824] shall live [02421] for ever [05703]. 19 22 27 All the ends [0657] of the world [0776] shall remember [02142] and turn [07725] unto the LORD [03068]: and all the kindreds [04940] of the nations [01471] shall worship [07812] before [06440] thee. 19 22 28 For the kingdom [04410] is the LORD'S [03068]: and he is the governor [04910] among the nations [01471]. 19 22 29 All they that be fat [01879] upon earth [0776] shall eat [0398] and worship [07812]: all they that go down [03381] to the dust [06083] shall bow [03766] before [06440] him: and none can keep alive [02421] his own soul [05315]. 19 22 30 A seed [02233] shall serve [05647] him; it shall be accounted [05608] to the Lord [0136] for a generation [01755]. 19 22 31 They shall come [0935], and shall declare [05046] his righteousness [06666] unto a people [05971] that shall be born [03205], that he hath done [06213] this. 19 23 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] is my shepherd [07462]; I shall not want [02637]. 19 23 2 He maketh me to lie down [07257] in green [01877] pastures [04999]: he leadeth [05095] me beside the still [04496] waters [04325]. 19 23 3 He restoreth [07725] my soul [05315]: he leadeth [05148] me in the paths [04570] of righteousness [06664] for his name's [08034] sake. 19 23 4 Yea, though I walk [03212] through the valley [01516] of the shadow of death [06757], I will fear [03372] no evil [07451]: for thou art with me; thy rod [07626] and thy staff [04938] they comfort [05162] me. 19 23 5 Thou preparest [06186] a table [07979] before [06440] me in the presence of mine enemies [06887]: thou anointest [01878] my head [07218] with oil [08081]; my cup [03563] runneth over [07310]. 19 23 6 Surely goodness [02896] and mercy [02617] shall follow [07291] me all the days [03117] of my life [02416]: and I will dwell [03427] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] for ever [0753] [03117]. 19 24 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The earth [0776] is the LORD'S [03068], and the fulness [04393] thereof; the world [08398], and they that dwell [03427] therein. 19 24 2 For he hath founded [03245] it upon the seas [03220], and established [03559] it upon the floods [05104]. 19 24 3 Who shall ascend [05927] into the hill [02022] of the LORD [03068]? or who shall stand [06965] in his holy [06944] place [04725]? 19 24 4 He that hath clean [05355] hands [03709], and a pure [01249] heart [03824]; who hath not lifted up [05375] his soul [05315] unto vanity [07723], nor sworn [07650] deceitfully [04820]. 19 24 5 He shall receive [05375] the blessing [01293] from the LORD [03068], and righteousness [06666] from the God [0430] of his salvation [03468]. 19 24 6 This is the generation [01755] of them that seek [01875] him, that seek [01245] thy face [06440], O Jacob [03290]. Selah [05542]. 19 24 7 Lift up [05375] your heads [07218], O ye gates [08179]; and be ye lift up [05375], ye everlasting [05769] doors [06607]; and the King [04428] of glory [03519] shall come in [0935]. 19 24 8 Who is this King [04428] of glory [03519]? The LORD [03068] strong [05808] and mighty [01368], the LORD [03068] mighty [01368] in battle [04421]. 19 24 9 Lift up [05375] your heads [07218], O ye gates [08179]; even lift them up [05375], ye everlasting [05769] doors [06607]; and the King [04428] of glory [03519] shall come in [0935]. 19 24 10 Who is this King [04428] of glory [03519]? The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], he is the King [04428] of glory [03519]. Selah [05542]. 19 25 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Unto thee, O LORD [03068], do I lift up [05375] my soul [05315]. 19 25 2 O my God [0430], I trust [0982] in thee: let me not be ashamed [0954], let not mine enemies [0341] triumph [05970] over me. 19 25 3 Yea, let none that wait [06960] on thee be ashamed [0954]: let them be ashamed [0954] which transgress [0898] without cause [07387]. 19 25 4 Shew [03045] me thy ways [01870], O LORD [03068]; teach [03925] me thy paths [0734]. 19 25 5 Lead [01869] me in thy truth [0571], and teach [03925] me: for thou art the God [0430] of my salvation [03468]; on thee do I wait [06960] all the day [03117]. 19 25 6 Remember [02142], O LORD [03068], thy tender mercies [07356] and thy lovingkindnesses [02617]; for they have been ever of old [05769]. 19 25 7 Remember [02142] not the sins [02403] of my youth [05271], nor my transgressions [06588]: according to thy mercy [02617] remember [02142] thou me for thy goodness [02898]' sake, O LORD [03068]. 19 25 8 Good [02896] and upright [03477] is the LORD [03068]: therefore will he teach [03384] sinners [02400] in the way [01870]. 19 25 9 The meek [06035] will he guide [01869] in judgment [04941]: and the meek [06035] will he teach [03925] his way [01870]. 19 25 10 All the paths [0734] of the LORD [03068] are mercy [02617] and truth [0571] unto such as keep [05341] his covenant [01285] and his testimonies [05713]. 19 25 11 For thy name's [08034] sake, O LORD [03068], pardon [05545] mine iniquity [05771]; for it is great [07227]. 19 25 12 What man [0376] is he that feareth [03373] the LORD [03068]? him shall he teach [03384] in the way [01870] that he shall choose [0977]. 19 25 13 His soul [05315] shall dwell [03885] at ease [02896]; and his seed [02233] shall inherit [03423] the earth [0776]. 19 25 14 The secret [05475] of the LORD [03068] is with them that fear [03373] him; and he will shew [03045] them his covenant [01285]. 19 25 15 Mine eyes [05869] are ever [08548] toward the LORD [03068]; for he shall pluck [03318] my feet [07272] out of the net [07568]. 19 25 16 Turn [06437] thee unto me, and have mercy [02603] upon me; for I am desolate [03173] and afflicted [06041]. 19 25 17 The troubles [06869] of my heart [03824] are enlarged [07337]: O bring thou me out [03318] of my distresses [04691]. 19 25 18 Look [07200] upon mine affliction [06040] and my pain [05999]; and forgive [05375] all my sins [02403]. 19 25 19 Consider [07200] mine enemies [0341]; for they are many [07231]; and they hate [08130] me with cruel [02555] hatred [08135]. 19 25 20 O keep [08104] my soul [05315], and deliver [05337] me: let me not be ashamed [0954]; for I put my trust [02620] in thee. 19 25 21 Let integrity [08537] and uprightness [03476] preserve [05341] me; for I wait [06960] on thee. 19 25 22 Redeem [06299] Israel [03478], O God [0430], out of all his troubles [06869]. 19 26 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Judge [08199] me, O LORD [03068]; for I have walked [01980] in mine integrity [08537]: I have trusted [0982] also in the LORD [03068]; therefore I shall not slide [04571]. 19 26 2 Examine [0974] me, O LORD [03068], and prove [05254] me; try [06884] my reins [03629] and my heart [03820]. 19 26 3 For thy lovingkindness [02617] is before mine eyes [05869]: and I have walked [01980] in thy truth [0571]. 19 26 4 I have not sat [03427] with vain [07723] persons [04962], neither will I go in [0935] with dissemblers [05956]. 19 26 5 I have hated [08130] the congregation [06951] of evil doers [07489]; and will not sit [03427] with the wicked [07563]. 19 26 6 I will wash [07364] mine hands [03709] in innocency [05356]: so will I compass [05437] thine altar [04196], O LORD [03068]: 19 26 7 That I may publish [08085] with the voice [06963] of thanksgiving [08426], and tell [05608] of all thy wondrous works [06381]. 19 26 8 LORD [03068], I have loved [0157] the habitation [04583] of thy house [01004], and the place [04725] where thine honour [03519] dwelleth [04908]. 19 26 9 Gather [0622] not my soul [05315] with sinners [02400], nor my life [02416] with bloody [01818] men [0582]: 19 26 10 In whose hands [03027] is mischief [02154], and their right hand [03225] is full [04390] of bribes [07810]. 19 26 11 But as for me, I will walk [03212] in mine integrity [08537]: redeem [06299] me, and be merciful [02603] unto me. 19 26 12 My foot [07272] standeth [05975] in an even place [04334]: in the congregations [04721] will I bless [01288] the LORD [03068]. 19 27 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] is my light [0216] and my salvation [03468]; whom shall I fear [03372]? the LORD [03068] is the strength [04581] of my life [02416]; of whom shall I be afraid [06342]? 19 27 2 When the wicked [07489], even mine enemies [06862] and my foes [0341], came [07126] upon me to eat up [0398] my flesh [01320], they stumbled [03782] and fell [05307]. 19 27 3 Though an host [04264] should encamp [02583] against me, my heart [03820] shall not fear [03372]: though war [04421] should rise [06965] against me, in this will I be confident [0982]. 19 27 4 One [0259] thing have I desired [07592] of the LORD [03068], that will I seek [01245] after; that I may dwell [03427] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of my life [02416], to behold [02372] the beauty [05278] of the LORD [03068], and to enquire [01239] in his temple [01964]. 19 27 5 For in the time [03117] of trouble [07451] he shall hide [06845] me in his pavilion [05520]: in the secret [05643] of his tabernacle [0168] shall he hide [05641] me; he shall set me up [07311] upon a rock [06697]. 19 27 6 And now shall mine head [07218] be lifted up [07311] above mine enemies [0341] round about [05439] me: therefore will I offer [02076] in his tabernacle [0168] sacrifices [02077] of joy [08643]; I will sing [07891], yea, I will sing praises [02167] unto the LORD [03068]. 19 27 7 Hear [08085], O LORD [03068], when I cry [07121] with my voice [06963]: have mercy [02603] also upon me, and answer [06030] me. 19 27 8 When thou saidst, Seek [01245] ye my face [06440]; my heart [03820] said [0559] unto thee, Thy face [06440], LORD [03068], will I seek [01245]. 19 27 9 Hide [05641] not thy face [06440] far from me; put [05186] not thy servant [05650] away [05186] in anger [0639]: thou hast been my help [05833]; leave [05203] me not, neither forsake [05800] me, O God [0430] of my salvation [03468]. 19 27 10 When my father [01] and my mother [0517] forsake [05800] me, then the LORD [03068] will take me up [0622]. 19 27 11 Teach [03384] me thy way [01870], O LORD [03068], and lead [05148] me in a plain [04334] path [0734], because of mine enemies [08324]. 19 27 12 Deliver [05414] me not over unto the will [05315] of mine enemies [06862]: for false [08267] witnesses [05707] are risen up [06965] against me, and such as breathe out [03307] cruelty [02555]. 19 27 13 I had fainted, unless [03884] I had believed [0539] to see [07200] the goodness [02898] of the LORD [03068] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 19 27 14 Wait [06960] on the LORD [03068]: be of good courage [02388], and he shall strengthen [0553] thine heart [03820]: wait [06960], I say, on the LORD [03068]. 19 28 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Unto thee will I cry [07121], O LORD [03068] my rock [06697]; be not silent [02814] to me: lest, if thou be silent [02790] to me, I become [04911] like them that go down [03381] into the pit [0953]. 19 28 2 Hear [08085] the voice [06963] of my supplications [08469], when I cry [07768] unto thee, when I lift up [05375] my hands [03027] toward thy holy [06944] oracle [01687]. 19 28 3 Draw me not away [04900] with the wicked [07563], and with the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205], which speak [01696] peace [07965] to their neighbours [07453], but mischief [07451] is in their hearts [03824]. 19 28 4 Give [05414] them according to their deeds [06467], and according to the wickedness [07455] of their endeavours [04611]: give [05414] them after the work [04639] of their hands [03027]; render [07725] to them their desert [01576]. 19 28 5 Because they regard [0995] not the works [06468] of the LORD [03068], nor the operation [04639] of his hands [03027], he shall destroy [02040] them, and not build them up [01129]. 19 28 6 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068], because he hath heard [08085] the voice [06963] of my supplications [08469]. 19 28 7 The LORD [03068] is my strength [05797] and my shield [04043]; my heart [03820] trusted [0982] in him, and I am helped [05826]: therefore my heart [03820] greatly rejoiceth [05937]; and with my song [07892] will I praise [03034] him. 19 28 8 The LORD [03068] is their strength [05797], and he is the saving [03444] strength [04581] of his anointed [04899]. 19 28 9 Save [03467] thy people [05971], and bless [01288] thine inheritance [05159]: feed [07462] them also, and lift them up [05375] for ever [05769]. 19 29 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068], O ye mighty [01121] [0410], give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] glory [03519] and strength [05797]. 19 29 2 Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] the glory [03519] due unto his name [08034]; worship [07812] the LORD [03068] in the beauty [01927] of holiness [06944]. 19 29 3 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] is upon the waters [04325]: the God [0410] of glory [03519] thundereth [07481]: the LORD [03068] is upon many [07227] waters [04325]. 19 29 4 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] is powerful [03581]; the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] is full of majesty [01926]. 19 29 5 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] breaketh [07665] the cedars [0730]; yea, the LORD [03068] breaketh [07665] the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844]. 19 29 6 He maketh them also to skip [07540] like a calf [05695]; Lebanon [03844] and Sirion [08303] like a young [01121] unicorn [07214]. 19 29 7 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] divideth [02672] the flames [03852] of fire [0784]. 19 29 8 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] shaketh [02342] the wilderness [04057]; the LORD [03068] shaketh [02342] the wilderness [04057] of Kadesh [06946]. 19 29 9 The voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] maketh the hinds [0355] to calve [02342], and discovereth [02834] the forests [03295]: and in his temple [01964] doth every one speak [0559] of his glory [03519]. 19 29 10 The LORD [03068] sitteth [03427] upon the flood [03999]; yea, the LORD [03068] sitteth [03427] King [04428] for ever [05769]. 19 29 11 The LORD [03068] will give [05414] strength [05797] unto his people [05971]; the LORD [03068] will bless [01288] his people [05971] with peace [07965]. 19 30 1 A Psalm [04210] and Song [07892] at the dedication [02598] of the house [01004] of David [01732]. I will extol [07311] thee, O LORD [03068]; for thou hast lifted me up [01802], and hast not made my foes [0341] to rejoice [08055] over me. 19 30 2 O LORD [03068] my God [0430], I cried [07768] unto thee, and thou hast healed [07495] me. 19 30 3 O LORD [03068], thou hast brought up [05927] my soul [05315] from the grave [07585]: thou hast kept me alive [02421], that I should not go down [03381] [03381] to the pit [0953]. 19 30 4 Sing [02167] unto the LORD [03068], O ye saints [02623] of his, and give thanks [03034] at the remembrance [02143] of his holiness [06944]. 19 30 5 For his anger [0639] endureth but a moment [07281]; in his favour [07522] is life [02416]: weeping [01065] may endure [03885] for a night [06153], but joy [07440] cometh in the morning [01242]. 19 30 6 And in my prosperity [07959] I said [0559], I shall never [05769] be moved [04131]. 19 30 7 LORD [03068], by thy favour [07522] thou hast made my mountain [02042] to stand [05975] strong [05797]: thou didst hide [05641] thy face [06440], and I was troubled [0926]. 19 30 8 I cried [07121] to thee, O LORD [03068]; and unto the LORD [03068] I made supplication [02603]. 19 30 9 What profit [01215] is there in my blood [01818], when I go down [03381] to the pit [07845]? Shall the dust [06083] praise [03034] thee? shall it declare [05046] thy truth [0571]? 19 30 10 Hear [08085], O LORD [03068], and have mercy [02603] upon me: LORD [03068], be thou my helper [05826]. 19 30 11 Thou hast turned [02015] for me my mourning [04553] into dancing [04234]: thou hast put off [06605] my sackcloth [08242], and girded [0247] me with gladness [08057]; 19 30 12 To the end that my glory [03519] may sing [02167] praise to thee, and not be silent [01826]. O LORD [03068] my God [0430], I will give thanks [03034] unto thee for ever [05769]. 19 31 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. In thee, O LORD [03068], do I put my trust [02620]; let me never [0408] [05769] be ashamed [0954]: deliver [06403] me in thy righteousness [06666]. 19 31 2 Bow down [05186] thine ear [0241] to me; deliver [05337] me speedily [04120]: be thou my strong [04581] rock [06697], for an house [01004] of defence [04686] to save [03467] me. 19 31 3 For thou art my rock [05553] and my fortress [04686]; therefore for thy name's [08034] sake lead [05148] me, and guide [05095] me. 19 31 4 Pull me out [03318] of the net [07568] that [02098] they have laid privily [02934] for me: for thou art my strength [04581]. 19 31 5 Into thine hand [03027] I commit [06485] my spirit [07307]: thou hast redeemed [06299] me, O LORD [03068] God [0410] of truth [0571]. 19 31 6 I have hated [08130] them that regard [08104] lying [07723] vanities [01892]: but I trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]. 19 31 7 I will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in thy mercy [02617]: for thou hast considered [07200] my trouble [06040]; thou hast known [03045] my soul [05315] in adversities [06869]; 19 31 8 And hast not shut me up [05462] into the hand [03027] of the enemy [0341]: thou hast set [05975] my feet [07272] in a large room [04800]. 19 31 9 Have mercy [02603] upon me, O LORD [03068], for I am in trouble [06887]: mine eye [05869] is consumed [06244] with grief [03708], yea, my soul [05315] and my belly [0990]. 19 31 10 For my life [02416] is spent [03615] with grief [03015], and my years [08141] with sighing [0585]: my strength [03581] faileth [03782] because of mine iniquity [05771], and my bones [06106] are consumed [06244]. 19 31 11 I was a reproach [02781] among all mine enemies [06887], but especially [03966] among my neighbours [07934], and a fear [06343] to mine acquaintance [03045]: they that did see [07200] me without [02351] fled [05074] from me. 19 31 12 I am forgotten [07911] as a dead man [04191] out of mind [03820]: I am like a broken [06] vessel [03627]. 19 31 13 For I have heard [08085] the slander [01681] of many [07227]: fear [04032] was on every side [05439]: while they took counsel [03245] together [03162] against me, they devised [02161] to take away [03947] my life [05315]. 19 31 14 But I trusted [0982] in thee, O LORD [03068]: I said [0559], Thou art my God [0430]. 19 31 15 My times [06256] are in thy hand [03027]: deliver [05337] me from the hand [03027] of mine enemies [0341], and from them that persecute [07291] me. 19 31 16 Make thy face [06440] to shine [0215] upon thy servant [05650]: save [03467] me for thy mercies [02617]' sake. 19 31 17 Let me not be ashamed [0954], O LORD [03068]; for I have called [07121] upon thee: let the wicked [07563] be ashamed [0954], and let them be silent [01826] in the grave [07585]. 19 31 18 Let the lying [08267] lips [08193] be put to silence [0481]; which speak [01696] grievous [06277] things proudly [01346] and contemptuously [0937] against the righteous [06662]. 19 31 19 Oh how great [07227] is thy goodness [02898], which thou hast laid up [06845] for them that fear [03373] thee; which thou hast wrought [06466] for them that trust [02620] in thee before the sons [01121] of men [0120]! 19 31 20 Thou shalt hide [05641] them in the secret [05643] of thy presence [06440] from the pride [07407] of man [0376]: thou shalt keep them secretly [06845] in a pavilion [05521] from the strife [07379] of tongues [03956]. 19 31 21 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068]: for he hath shewed me his marvellous [06381] kindness [02617] in a strong [04692] city [05892]. 19 31 22 For I said [0559] in my haste [02648], I am cut off [01629] from before [05048] thine eyes [05869]: nevertheless [0403] thou heardest [08085] the voice [06963] of my supplications [08469] when I cried [07768] unto thee. 19 31 23 O love [0157] the LORD [03068], all ye his saints [02623]: for the LORD [03068] preserveth [05341] the faithful [0539], and plentifully [03499] rewardeth [07999] the proud [01346] doer [06213]. 19 31 24 Be of good courage [02388], and he shall strengthen [0553] your heart [03824], all ye that hope [03176] in the LORD [03068]. 19 32 1 A Psalm of David [01732], Maschil [04905]. Blessed [0835] is he whose transgression [06588] is forgiven [05375], whose sin [02401] is covered [03680]. 19 32 2 Blessed [0835] is the man [0120] unto whom the LORD [03068] imputeth [02803] not iniquity [05771], and in whose spirit [07307] there is no guile [07423]. 19 32 3 When I kept silence [02790], my bones [06106] waxed old [01086] through my roaring [07581] all the day [03117] long. 19 32 4 For day [03119] and night [03915] thy hand [03027] was heavy [03513] upon me: my moisture [03955] is turned [02015] into the drought [02725] of summer [07019]. Selah [05542]. 19 32 5 I acknowledged [03045] my sin [02403] unto thee, and mine iniquity [05771] have I not hid [03680]. I said [0559], I will confess [03034] my transgressions [06588] unto the LORD [03068]; and thou forgavest [05375] the iniquity [05771] of my sin [02403]. Selah [05542]. 19 32 6 For this shall every one that is godly [02623] pray [06419] unto thee in a time [06256] when thou mayest be found [04672]: surely in the floods [07858] of great [07227] waters [04325] they shall not come nigh [05060] unto him. 19 32 7 Thou art my hiding place [05643]; thou shalt preserve [05341] me from trouble [06862]; thou shalt compass [05437] me about with songs [07438] of deliverance [06405]. Selah [05542]. 19 32 8 I will instruct [07919] thee and teach [03384] thee in the way [01870] which [02098] thou shalt go [03212]: I will guide [03289] thee with mine eye [05869]. 19 32 9 Be ye not as the horse [05483], or as the mule [06505], which have no understanding [0995]: whose mouth [05716] must be held [01102] in with bit [04964] and bridle [07448], lest [01077] they come near [07126] unto thee. 19 32 10 Many [07227] sorrows [04341] shall be to the wicked [07563]: but he that trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], mercy [02617] shall compass [05437] him about. 19 32 11 Be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068], and rejoice [01523], ye righteous [06662]: and shout [07442] for joy, all ye that are upright [03477] in heart [03820]. 19 33 1 Rejoice [07442] in the LORD [03068], O ye righteous [06662]: for praise [08416] is comely [05000] for the upright [03477]. 19 33 2 Praise [03034] the LORD [03068] with harp [03658]: sing [02167] unto him with the psaltery [05035] and an instrument of ten strings [06218]. 19 33 3 Sing [07891] unto him a new [02319] song [07892]; play [05059] skilfully [03190] with a loud noise [08643]. 19 33 4 For the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] is right [03477]; and all his works [04639] are done in truth [0530]. 19 33 5 He loveth [0157] righteousness [06666] and judgment [04941]: the earth [0776] is full [04390] of the goodness [02617] of the LORD [03068]. 19 33 6 By the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] were the heavens [08064] made [06213]; and all the host [06635] of them by the breath [07307] of his mouth [06310]. 19 33 7 He gathereth [03664] the waters [04325] of the sea [03220] together as an heap [05067]: he layeth up [05414] the depth [08415] in storehouses [0214]. 19 33 8 Let all the earth [0776] fear [03372] the LORD [03068]: let all the inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398] stand in awe [01481] of him. 19 33 9 For he spake [0559], and it was done; he commanded [06680], and it stood fast [05975]. 19 33 10 The LORD [03068] bringeth [06331] the counsel [06098] of the heathen [01471] to nought [06331]: he maketh [05106] the devices [04284] of the people [05971] of none effect [05106]. 19 33 11 The counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068] standeth [05975] for ever [05769], the thoughts [04284] of his heart [03820] to all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 33 12 Blessed [0835] is the nation [01471] whose God [0430] is the LORD [03068]; and the people [05971] whom he hath chosen [0977] for his own inheritance [05159]. 19 33 13 The LORD [03068] looketh [05027] from heaven [08064]; he beholdeth [07200] all the sons [01121] of men [0120]. 19 33 14 From the place [04349] of his habitation [03427] he looketh [07688] upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776]. 19 33 15 He fashioneth [03335] their hearts [03820] alike [03162]; he considereth [0995] all their works [04639]. 19 33 16 There is no king [04428] saved [03467] by the multitude [07230] of an host [02428]: a mighty man [01368] is not delivered [05337] by much [07230] strength [03581]. 19 33 17 An horse [05483] is a vain thing [08267] for safety [08668]: neither shall he deliver [04422] any by his great [07230] strength [02428]. 19 33 18 Behold, the eye [05869] of the LORD [03068] is upon them that fear [03373] him, upon them that hope [03176] in his mercy [02617]; 19 33 19 To deliver [05337] their soul [05315] from death [04194], and to keep them alive [02421] in famine [07458]. 19 33 20 Our soul [05315] waiteth [02442] for the LORD [03068]: he is our help [05828] and our shield [04043]. 19 33 21 For our heart [03820] shall rejoice [08055] in him, because we have trusted [0982] in his holy [06944] name [08034]. 19 33 22 Let thy mercy [02617], O LORD [03068], be upon us, according as we hope [03176] in thee. 19 34 1 A Psalm of David [01732], when he changed [08138] his behaviour [02940] before [06440] Abimelech [040]; who drove him away [01644], and he departed [03212]. I will bless [01288] the LORD [03068] at all times [06256]: his praise [08416] shall continually [08548] be in my mouth [06310]. 19 34 2 My soul [05315] shall make her boast [01984] in the LORD [03068]: the humble [06035] shall hear [08085] thereof, and be glad [08055]. 19 34 3 O magnify [01431] the LORD [03068] with me, and let us exalt [07311] his name [08034] together [03162]. 19 34 4 I sought [01875] the LORD [03068], and he heard [06030] me, and delivered [05337] me from all my fears [04035]. 19 34 5 They looked [05027] unto him, and were lightened [05102]: and their faces [06440] were not ashamed [02659]. 19 34 6 This poor man [06041] cried [07121], and the LORD [03068] heard [08085] him, and saved [03467] him out of all his troubles [06869]. 19 34 7 The angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] encampeth [02583] round about [05439] them that fear [03373] him, and delivereth [02502] them. 19 34 8 O taste [02938] and see [07200] that the LORD [03068] is good [02896]: blessed [0835] is the man [01397] that trusteth [02620] in him. 19 34 9 O fear [03372] the LORD [03068], ye his saints [06918]: for there is no want [04270] to them that fear [03373] him. 19 34 10 The young lions [03715] do lack [07326], and suffer hunger [07456]: but they that seek [01875] the LORD [03068] shall not want [02637] any good [02896] thing. 19 34 11 Come [03212], ye children [01121], hearken [08085] unto me: I will teach [03925] you the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]. 19 34 12 What man [0376] is he that desireth [02655] life [02416], and loveth [0157] many days [03117], that he may see [07200] good [02896]? 19 34 13 Keep [05341] thy tongue [03956] from evil [07451], and thy lips [08193] from speaking [01696] guile [04820]. 19 34 14 Depart [05493] from evil [07451], and do [06213] good [02896]; seek [01245] peace [07965], and pursue [07291] it. 19 34 15 The eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] are upon the righteous [06662], and his ears [0241] are open unto their cry [07775]. 19 34 16 The face [06440] of the LORD [03068] is against them that do [06213] evil [07451], to cut off [03772] the remembrance [02143] of them from the earth [0776]. 19 34 17 The righteous cry [06817], and the LORD [03068] heareth [08085], and delivereth [05337] them out of all their troubles [06869]. 19 34 18 The LORD [03068] is nigh [07138] unto them that are of a broken [07665] heart [03820]; and saveth [03467] such as be of a contrite [01793] spirit [07307]. 19 34 19 Many [07227] are the afflictions [07451] of the righteous [06662]: but the LORD [03068] delivereth [05337] him out of them all. 19 34 20 He keepeth [08104] all his bones [06106]: not one [0259] of them [02007] is broken [07665]. 19 34 21 Evil [07451] shall slay [04191] the wicked [07563]: and they that hate [08130] the righteous [06662] shall be desolate [0816]. 19 34 22 The LORD [03068] redeemeth [06299] the soul [05315] of his servants [05650]: and none of them that trust [02620] in him shall be desolate [0816]. 19 35 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Plead [07378] my cause, O LORD [03068], with them that strive [03401] with me: fight [03898] against them that fight [03898] against me. 19 35 2 Take hold [02388] of shield [04043] and buckler [06793], and stand up [06965] for mine help [05833]. 19 35 3 Draw out [07324] also the spear [02595], and stop [05462] the way against [07125] them that persecute [07291] me: say [0559] unto my soul [05315], I am thy salvation [03444]. 19 35 4 Let them be confounded [0954] and put to shame [03637] that seek [01245] after my soul [05315]: let them be turned [05472] back [0268] and brought to confusion [02659] that devise [02803] my hurt [07451]. 19 35 5 Let them be as chaff [04671] before [06440] the wind [07307]: and let the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] chase [01760] them. 19 35 6 Let their way [01870] be dark [02822] and slippery [02519]: and let the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] persecute [07291] them. 19 35 7 For without cause [02600] have they hid [02934] for me their net [07568] in a pit [07845], which without cause [02600] they have digged [02658] for my soul [05315]. 19 35 8 Let destruction [07722] come [0935] upon him at unawares [03045] [03808]; and let his net [07568] that he hath hid [02934] catch [03920] himself: into that very destruction [07722] let him fall [05307]. 19 35 9 And my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in the LORD [03068]: it shall rejoice [07797] in his salvation [03444]. 19 35 10 All my bones [06106] shall say [0559], LORD [03068], who is like unto thee, which deliverest [05337] the poor [06041] from him that is too strong [02389] for him, yea, the poor [06041] and the needy [034] from him that spoileth [01497] him? 19 35 11 False [02555] witnesses [05707] did rise up [06965]; they laid to my charge [07592] things that I knew [03045] not. 19 35 12 They rewarded [07999] me evil [07451] for good [02896] to the spoiling [07908] of my soul [05315]. 19 35 13 But as for me, when they were sick [02470], my clothing [03830] was sackcloth [08242]: I humbled [06031] my soul [05315] with fasting [06685]; and my prayer [08605] returned [07725] into mine own bosom [02436]. 19 35 14 I behaved [01980] myself as though he had been my friend [07453] or brother [0251]: I bowed down [07817] heavily [06937], as one that mourneth [057] for his mother [0517]. 19 35 15 But in mine adversity [06761] they rejoiced [08055], and gathered themselves together [0622]: yea, the abjects [05222] gathered themselves together [0622] against me, and I knew [03045] it not; they did tear [07167] me, and ceased [01826] not: 19 35 16 With hypocritical [02611] mockers [03934] in feasts [04580], they gnashed [02786] upon me with their teeth [08127]. 19 35 17 Lord [0136], how long wilt thou look on [07200]? rescue [07725] my soul [05315] from their destructions [07722], my darling [03173] from the lions [03715]. 19 35 18 I will give thee thanks [03034] in the great [07227] congregation [06951]: I will praise [01984] thee among much [06099] people [05971]. 19 35 19 Let not them that are mine enemies [0341] wrongfully [08267] rejoice [08055] over me: neither let them wink [07169] with the eye [05869] that hate [08130] me without a cause [02600]. 19 35 20 For they speak [01696] not peace [07965]: but they devise [02803] deceitful [04820] matters [01697] against them that are quiet [07282] in the land [0776]. 19 35 21 Yea, they opened their mouth [06310] wide [07337] against me, and said [0559], Aha [01889], aha [01889], our eye [05869] hath seen [07200] it. 19 35 22 This thou hast seen [07200], O LORD [03068]: keep not silence [02790]: O Lord [0136], be not far [07368] from me. 19 35 23 Stir up [05782] thyself, and awake [06974] to my judgment [04941], even unto my cause [07379], my God [0430] and my Lord [0136]. 19 35 24 Judge [08199] me, O LORD [03068] my God [0430], according to thy righteousness [06664]; and let them not rejoice [08055] over me. 19 35 25 Let them not say [0559] in their hearts [03820], Ah [01889], so would we have it [05315]: let them not say [0559], We have swallowed him up [01104]. 19 35 26 Let them be ashamed [0954] and brought to confusion [02659] together [03162] that rejoice [08056] at mine hurt [07451]: let them be clothed [03847] with shame [01322] and dishonour [03639] that magnify [01431] themselves against me. 19 35 27 Let them shout for joy [07442], and be glad [08055], that favour [02655] my righteous cause [06664]: yea, let them say [0559] continually [08548], Let the LORD [03068] be magnified [01431], which hath pleasure [02655] in the prosperity [07965] of his servant [05650]. 19 35 28 And my tongue [03956] shall speak [01897] of thy righteousness [06664] and of thy praise [08416] all the day [03117] long. 19 36 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068]. The transgression [06588] of the wicked [07563] saith [05002] within [07130] my heart [03820], that there is no fear [06343] of God [0430] before his eyes [05869]. 19 36 2 For he flattereth [02505] himself in his own eyes [05869], until his iniquity [05771] be found [04672] to be hateful [08130]. 19 36 3 The words [01697] of his mouth [06310] are iniquity [0205] and deceit [04820]: he hath left off [02308] to be wise [07919], and to do good [03190]. 19 36 4 He deviseth [02803] mischief [0205] upon his bed [04904]; he setteth [03320] himself in a way [01870] that is not good [02896]; he abhorreth [03988] not evil [07451]. 19 36 5 Thy mercy [02617], O LORD [03068], is in the heavens [08064]; and thy faithfulness [0530] reacheth unto the clouds [07834]. 19 36 6 Thy righteousness [06666] is like the great [0410] mountains [02042]; thy judgments [04941] are a great [07227] deep [08415]: O LORD [03068], thou preservest [03467] man [0120] and beast [0929]. 19 36 7 How excellent [03368] is thy lovingkindness [02617], O God [0430]! therefore the children [01121] of men [0120] put their trust [02620] under the shadow [06738] of thy wings [03671]. 19 36 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied [07301] with the fatness [01880] of thy house [01004]; and thou shalt make them drink [08248] of the river [05158] of thy pleasures [05730]. 19 36 9 For with thee is the fountain [04726] of life [02416]: in thy light [0216] shall we see [07200] light [0216]. 19 36 10 O continue [04900] thy lovingkindness [02617] unto them that know [03045] thee; and thy righteousness [06666] to the upright [03477] in heart [03820]. 19 36 11 Let not the foot [07272] of pride [01346] come [0935] against me, and let not the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563] remove [05110] me. 19 36 12 There are the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] fallen [05307]: they are cast down [01760], and shall not be able [03201] to rise [06965]. 19 37 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Fret [02734] not thyself because of evildoers [07489], neither be thou envious [07065] against the workers [06213] of iniquity [05766]. 19 37 2 For they shall soon [04120] be cut down [05243] like the grass [02682], and wither [05034] as the green [03418] herb [01877]. 19 37 3 Trust [0982] in the LORD [03068], and do [06213] good [02896]; so shalt thou dwell [07931] in the land [0776], and verily [0530] thou shalt be fed [07462]. 19 37 4 Delight [06026] thyself also in the LORD [03068]; and he shall give [05414] thee the desires [04862] of thine heart [03820]. 19 37 5 Commit [01556] thy way [01870] unto the LORD [03068]; trust [0982] also in him; and he shall bring it to pass [06213]. 19 37 6 And he shall bring forth [03318] thy righteousness [06664] as the light [0216], and thy judgment [04941] as the noonday [06672]. 19 37 7 Rest [01826] in the LORD [03068], and wait patiently [02342] for him: fret [02734] not thyself because of him who prospereth [06743] in his way [01870], because of the man [0376] who bringeth [06213] wicked devices [04209] to pass [06213]. 19 37 8 Cease [07503] from anger [0639], and forsake [05800] wrath [02534]: fret [02734] not thyself in any wise [0389] to do evil [07489]. 19 37 9 For evildoers [07489] shall be cut off [03772]: but those that wait [06960] upon the LORD [03068], they shall inherit [03423] the earth [0776]. 19 37 10 For yet a little while [04592], and the wicked [07563] shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider [0995] his place [04725], and it shall not be. 19 37 11 But the meek [06035] shall inherit [03423] the earth [0776]; and shall delight [06026] themselves in the abundance [07230] of peace [07965]. 19 37 12 The wicked [07563] plotteth [02161] against the just [06662], and gnasheth [02786] upon him with his teeth [08127]. 19 37 13 The Lord [0136] shall laugh [07832] at him: for he seeth [07200] that his day [03117] is coming [0935]. 19 37 14 The wicked [07563] have drawn out [06605] the sword [02719], and have bent [01869] their bow [07198], to cast down [05307] the poor [06041] and needy [034], and to slay [02873] such as be of upright [03477] conversation [01870]. 19 37 15 Their sword [02719] shall enter [0935] into their own heart [03820], and their bows [07198] shall be broken [07665]. 19 37 16 A little [04592] that a righteous man [06662] hath is better [02896] than the riches [01995] of many [07227] wicked [07563]. 19 37 17 For the arms [02220] of the wicked [07563] shall be broken [07665]: but the LORD [03068] upholdeth [05564] the righteous [06662]. 19 37 18 The LORD [03068] knoweth [03045] the days [03117] of the upright [08549]: and their inheritance [05159] shall be for ever [05769]. 19 37 19 They shall not be ashamed [0954] in the evil [07451] time [06256]: and in the days [03117] of famine [07459] they shall be satisfied [07646]. 19 37 20 But the wicked [07563] shall perish [06], and the enemies [0341] of the LORD [03068] shall be as the fat [03368] of lambs [03733]: they shall consume [03615]; into smoke [06227] shall they consume away [03615]. 19 37 21 The wicked [07563] borroweth [03867], and payeth not again [07999]: but the righteous [06662] sheweth mercy [02603], and giveth [05414]. 19 37 22 For such as be blessed [01288] of him shall inherit [03423] the earth [0776]; and they that be cursed [07043] of him shall be cut off [03772]. 19 37 23 The steps [04703] of a good man [01397] are ordered [03559] by the LORD [03068]: and he delighteth [02654] in his way [01870]. 19 37 24 Though he fall [05307], he shall not be utterly cast down [02904]: for the LORD [03068] upholdeth [05564] him with his hand [03027]. 19 37 25 I have been young [05288], and now am old [02204]; yet have I not seen [07200] the righteous [06662] forsaken [05800], nor his seed [02233] begging [01245] bread [03899]. 19 37 26 He is ever [03117] merciful [02603], and lendeth [03867]; and his seed [02233] is blessed [01293]. 19 37 27 Depart [05493] from evil [07451], and do [06213] good [02896]; and dwell [07931] for evermore [05769]. 19 37 28 For the LORD [03068] loveth [0157] judgment [04941], and forsaketh [05800] not his saints [02623]; they are preserved [08104] for ever [05769]: but the seed [02233] of the wicked [07563] shall be cut off [03772]. 19 37 29 The righteous [06662] shall inherit [03423] the land [0776], and dwell [07931] therein for ever [05703]. 19 37 30 The mouth [06310] of the righteous [06662] speaketh [01897] wisdom [02451], and his tongue [03956] talketh [01696] of judgment [04941]. 19 37 31 The law [08451] of his God [0430] is in his heart [03820]; none of his steps [0838] shall slide [04571]. 19 37 32 The wicked [07563] watcheth [06822] the righteous [06662], and seeketh [01245] to slay [04191] him. 19 37 33 The LORD [03068] will not leave [05800] him in his hand [03027], nor condemn [07561] him when he is judged [08199]. 19 37 34 Wait [06960] on the LORD [03068], and keep [08104] his way [01870], and he shall exalt [07311] thee to inherit [03423] the land [0776]: when the wicked [07563] are cut off [03772], thou shalt see [07200] it. 19 37 35 I have seen [07200] the wicked [07563] in great power [06184], and spreading [06168] himself like a green [07488] bay tree [0249]. 19 37 36 Yet he passed away [05674], and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought [01245] him, but he could not be found [04672]. 19 37 37 Mark [08104] the perfect [08535] man, and behold [07200] the upright [03477]: for the end [0319] of that man [0376] is peace [07965]. 19 37 38 But the transgressors [06586] shall be destroyed [08045] together [03162]: the end [0319] of the wicked [07563] shall be cut off [03772]. 19 37 39 But the salvation [08668] of the righteous [06662] is of the LORD [03068]: he is their strength [04581] in the time [06256] of trouble [06869]. 19 37 40 And the LORD [03068] shall help [05826] them, and deliver [06403] them: he shall deliver [06403] them from the wicked [07563], and save [03467] them, because they trust [02620] in him. 19 38 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], to bring to remembrance [02142]. O LORD [03068], rebuke [03198] me not in thy wrath [07110]: neither chasten [03256] me in thy hot displeasure [02534]. 19 38 2 For thine arrows [02671] stick fast [05181] in me, and thy hand [03027] presseth me sore [05181]. 19 38 3 There is no soundness [04974] in my flesh [01320] because [06440] of thine anger [02195]; neither is there any rest [07965] in my bones [06106] because [06440] of my sin [02403]. 19 38 4 For mine iniquities [05771] are gone over [05674] mine head [07218]: as an heavy [03515] burden [04853] they are too heavy [03513] for me. 19 38 5 My wounds [02250] stink [0887] and are corrupt [04743] because [06440] of my foolishness [0200]. 19 38 6 I am troubled [05753]; I am bowed down [07817] greatly [03966]; I go [01980] mourning [06937] all the day [03117] long. 19 38 7 For my loins [03689] are filled [04390] with a loathsome [07033] disease: and there is no soundness [04974] in my flesh [01320]. 19 38 8 I am feeble [06313] and sore [03966] broken [01794]: I have roared [07580] by reason of the disquietness [05100] of my heart [03820]. 19 38 9 Lord [0136], all my desire [08378] is before thee; and my groaning [0585] is not hid [05641] from thee. 19 38 10 My heart [03820] panteth [05503], my strength [03581] faileth [05800] me: as for the light [0216] of mine eyes [05869], it [01992] also is gone [0369] from me. 19 38 11 My lovers [0157] and my friends [07453] stand [05975] aloof from [05048] my sore [05061]; and my kinsmen [07138] stand [05975] afar off [07350]. 19 38 12 They also that seek [01245] after my life [05315] lay snares [05367] for me: and they that seek [01875] my hurt [07451] speak [01696] mischievous things [01942], and imagine [01897] deceits [04820] all the day [03117] long. 19 38 13 But I, as a deaf [02795] man, heard [08085] not; and I was as a dumb man [0483] that openeth [06605] not his mouth [06310]. 19 38 14 Thus I was as a man [0376] that heareth [08085] not, and in whose mouth [06310] are no reproofs [08433]. 19 38 15 For in thee, O LORD [03068], do I hope [03176]: thou wilt hear [06030], O Lord [0136] my God [0430]. 19 38 16 For I said [0559], Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice [08055] over me: when my foot [07272] slippeth [04131], they magnify [01431] themselves against me. 19 38 17 For I am ready [03559] to halt [06761], and my sorrow [04341] is continually [08548] before me. 19 38 18 For I will declare [05046] mine iniquity [05771]; I will be sorry [01672] for my sin [02403]. 19 38 19 But mine enemies [0341] are lively [02416], and they are strong [06105]: and they that hate [08130] me wrongfully [08267] are multiplied [07231]. 19 38 20 They also that render [07999] evil [07451] for good [02896] are mine adversaries [07853]; because I follow [07291] the thing that good [02896] is. 19 38 21 Forsake [05800] me not, O LORD [03068]: O my God [0430], be not far [07368] from me. 19 38 22 Make haste [02363] to help [05833] me, O Lord [0136] my salvation [08668]. 19 39 1 To the chief Musician [05329], even to Jeduthun [03038], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. I said [0559], I will take heed [08104] to my ways [01870], that I sin [02398] not with my tongue [03956]: I will keep [08104] my mouth [06310] with a bridle [04269], while the wicked [07563] is before me. 19 39 2 I was dumb [0481] with silence [01747], I held my peace [02814], even from good [02896]; and my sorrow [03511] was stirred [05916]. 19 39 3 My heart [03820] was hot [02552] within [07130] me, while I was musing [01901] the fire [0784] burned [01197]: then [0227] spake [01696] I with my tongue [03956], 19 39 4 LORD [03068], make me to know [03045] mine end [07093], and the measure [04060] of my days [03117], what it is; that I may know [03045] how frail [02310] I am. 19 39 5 Behold, thou hast made [05414] my days [03117] as an handbreadth [02947]; and mine age [02465] is as nothing before thee: verily every [03605] man [0120] at his best state [05324] is altogether [03605] vanity [01892]. Selah [05542]. 19 39 6 Surely every man [0376] walketh [01980] in a vain shew [06754]: surely they are disquieted [01993] in vain [01892]: he heapeth up [06651] riches, and knoweth [03045] not who shall gather [0622] them. 19 39 7 And now, Lord [0136], what wait [06960] I for? my hope [08431] is in thee. 19 39 8 Deliver [05337] me from all my transgressions [06588]: make [07760] me not the reproach [02781] of the foolish [05036]. 19 39 9 I was dumb [0481], I opened [06605] not my mouth [06310]; because thou didst [06213] it. 19 39 10 Remove [05493] thy stroke [05061] away [05493] from me: I am consumed [03615] by the blow [08409] of thine hand [03027]. 19 39 11 When thou with rebukes [08433] dost correct [03256] man [0376] for iniquity [05771], thou makest his beauty [02530] to consume away [04529] like a moth [06211]: surely every man [0120] is vanity [01892]. Selah [05542]. 19 39 12 Hear [08085] my prayer [08605], O LORD [03068], and give ear [0238] unto my cry [07775]; hold not thy peace [02790] at my tears [01832]: for I am a stranger [01616] with thee, and a sojourner [08453], as all my fathers [01] were. 19 39 13 O spare [08159] me, that I may recover strength [01082], before I go hence [03212], and be no more. 19 40 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. I waited [06960] patiently [06960] for the LORD [03068]; and he inclined [05186] unto me, and heard [08085] my cry [07775]. 19 40 2 He brought me up [05927] also out of an horrible [07588] pit [0953], out of the miry [03121] clay [02916], and set [06965] my feet [07272] upon a rock [05553], and established [03559] my goings [0838]. 19 40 3 And he hath put [05414] a new [02319] song [07892] in my mouth [06310], even praise [08416] unto our God [0430]: many [07227] shall see [07200] it, and fear [03372], and shall trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]. 19 40 4 Blessed [0835] is that man [01397] that maketh [07760] the LORD [03068] his trust [04009], and respecteth [06437] not the proud [07295], nor such as turn aside [07750] to lies [03577]. 19 40 5 Many [07227], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], are thy wonderful [06381] works which thou hast done [06213], and thy thoughts [04284] which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order [06186] unto thee: if I would declare [05046] and speak [01696] of them, they are more [06105] than can be numbered [05608]. 19 40 6 Sacrifice [02077] and offering [04503] thou didst not desire [02654]; mine ears [0241] hast thou opened [03738]: burnt offering [05930] and sin offering [02401] hast thou not required [07592]. 19 40 7 Then said [0559] I, Lo, I come [0935]: in the volume [04039] of the book [05612] it is written [03789] of me, 19 40 8 I delight [02654] to do [06213] thy will [07522], O my God [0430]: yea, thy law [08451] is within [08432] my heart [04578]. 19 40 9 I have preached [01319] righteousness [06664] in the great [07227] congregation [06951]: lo, I have not refrained [03607] my lips [08193], O LORD [03068], thou knowest [03045]. 19 40 10 I have not hid [03680] thy righteousness [06666] within [08432] my heart [03820]; I have declared [0559] thy faithfulness [0530] and thy salvation [08668]: I have not concealed [03582] thy lovingkindness [02617] and thy truth [0571] from the great [07227] congregation [06951]. 19 40 11 Withhold [03607] not thou thy tender mercies [07356] from me, O LORD [03068]: let thy lovingkindness [02617] and thy truth [0571] continually [08548] preserve [05341] me. 19 40 12 For innumerable [04557] evils [07451] have compassed [0661] me about: mine iniquities [05771] have taken hold [05381] upon me, so that I am not able [03201] to look up [07200]; they are more [06105] than the hairs [08185] of mine head [07218]: therefore my heart [03820] faileth [05800] me. 19 40 13 Be pleased [07521], O LORD [03068], to deliver [05337] me: O LORD [03068], make haste [02363] to help [05833] me. 19 40 14 Let them be ashamed [0954] and confounded [02659] together [03162] that seek [01245] after my soul [05315] to destroy [05595] it; let them be driven [05472] backward [0268] and put to shame [03637] that wish [02655] me evil [07451]. 19 40 15 Let them be desolate [08074] for a reward [06118] of their shame [01322] that say [0559] unto me, Aha [01889], aha [01889]. 19 40 16 Let all those that seek [01245] thee rejoice [07797] and be glad [08055] in thee: let such as love [0157] thy salvation [08668] say [0559] continually [08548], The LORD [03068] be magnified [01431]. 19 40 17 But I am poor [06041] and needy [034]; yet the Lord [0136] thinketh [02803] upon me: thou art my help [05833] and my deliverer [06403]; make no tarrying [0309], O my God [0430]. 19 41 1 {To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Blessed [0835] is he that considereth [07919] the poor [01800]: the LORD [03068] will deliver [04422] him in time [03117] of trouble [07451]. 19 41 2 The LORD [03068] will preserve [08104] him, and keep him alive [02421]; and he shall be blessed [0833] upon the earth [0776]: and thou wilt not deliver [05414] him unto the will [05315] of his enemies [0341]. 19 41 3 The LORD [03068] will strengthen [05582] him upon the bed [06210] of languishing [01741]: thou wilt make [02015] all his bed [04904] in his sickness [02483]. 19 41 4 I said [0559], LORD [03068], be merciful [02603] unto me: heal [07495] my soul [05315]; for I have sinned [02398] against thee. 19 41 5 Mine enemies [0341] speak [0559] evil [07451] of me, When shall he die [04191], and his name [08034] perish [06]? 19 41 6 And if he come [0935] to see [07200] me, he speaketh [01696] vanity [07723]: his heart [03820] gathereth [06908] iniquity [0205] to itself; when he goeth [03318] abroad [02351], he telleth [01696] it. 19 41 7 All that hate [08130] me whisper [03907] together [03162] against me: against me do they devise [02803] my hurt [07451]. 19 41 8 An evil [01100] disease [01697], say they, cleaveth fast [03332] unto him: and now that he lieth [07901] he shall rise up [06965] no more [03254]. 19 41 9 Yea, mine own familiar [07965] friend [0376], in whom I trusted [0982], which did eat [0398] of my bread [03899], hath lifted up [01431] his heel [06119] against me. 19 41 10 But thou, O LORD [03068], be merciful [02603] unto me, and raise me up [06965], that I may requite [07999] them. 19 41 11 By this I know [03045] that thou favourest [02654] me, because mine enemy [0341] doth not triumph [07321] over me. 19 41 12 And as for me, thou upholdest [08551] me in mine integrity [08537], and settest [05324] me before thy face [06440] for ever [05769]. 19 41 13 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] from everlasting [05769], and to everlasting [05769]. Amen [0543], and Amen [0543]. 19 42 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Maschil [04905], for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. As the hart [0354] panteth [06165] after the water [04325] brooks [0650], so panteth [06165] my soul [05315] after thee, O God [0430]. 19 42 2 My soul [05315] thirsteth [06770] for God [0430], for the living [02416] God [0410]: when shall I come [0935] and appear [07200] before [06440] God [0430]? 19 42 3 My tears [01832] have been my meat [03899] day [03119] and night [03915], while they continually [03117] say [0559] unto me, Where is thy God [0430]? 19 42 4 When I remember [02142] these things, I pour out [08210] my soul [05315] in me: for I had gone [05674] with the multitude [05519], I went [01718] with them to the house [01004] of God [0430], with the voice [06963] of joy [07440] and praise [08426], with a multitude [01995] that kept holyday [02287]. 19 42 5 Why art thou cast down [07817], O my soul [05315]? and why art thou disquieted [01993] in me? hope [03176] thou in God [0430]: for I shall yet praise [03034] him for the help [03444] of his countenance [06440]. 19 42 6 O my God [0430], my soul [05315] is cast down [07817] within me: therefore will I remember [02142] thee from the land [0776] of Jordan [03383], and of the Hermonites [02769], from the hill [02022] Mizar [04706]. 19 42 7 Deep [08415] calleth [07121] unto deep [08415] at the noise [06963] of thy waterspouts [06794]: all thy waves [04867] and thy billows [01530] are gone [05674] over me. 19 42 8 Yet the LORD [03068] will command [06680] his lovingkindness [02617] in the daytime [03119], and in the night [03915] his song [07892] shall be with me, and my prayer [08605] unto the God [0410] of my life [02416]. 19 42 9 I will say [0559] unto God [0410] my rock [05553], Why hast thou forgotten [07911] me? why go [03212] I mourning [06937] because of the oppression [03906] of the enemy [0341]? 19 42 10 As with a sword [07524] in my bones [06106], mine enemies [06887] reproach [02778] me; while they say [0559] daily [03117] unto me, Where is thy God [0430]? 19 42 11 Why art thou cast down [07817], O my soul [05315]? and why art thou disquieted [01993] within me? hope [03176] thou in God [0430]: for I shall yet praise [03034] him, who is the health [03444] of my countenance [06440], and my God [0430]. 19 43 1 Judge [08199] me, O God [0430], and plead [07378] my cause [07379] against an ungodly [03808] [02623] nation [01471]: O deliver [06403] me from the deceitful [04820] and unjust [05766] man [0376]. 19 43 2 For thou art the God [0430] of my strength [04581]: why dost thou cast me off [02186]? why go [01980] I mourning [06937] because of the oppression [03906] of the enemy [0341]? 19 43 3 O send out [07971] thy light [0216] and thy truth [0571]: let them lead [05148] me; let them bring [0935] me unto thy holy [06944] hill [02022], and to thy tabernacles [04908]. 19 43 4 Then will I go [0935] unto the altar [04196] of God [0430], unto God [0410] my exceeding [08057] joy [01524]: yea, upon the harp [03658] will I praise [03034] thee, O God [0430] my God [0430]. 19 43 5 Why art thou cast down [07817], O my soul [05315]? and why art thou disquieted [01993] within me? hope [03176] in God [0430]: for I shall yet praise [03034] him, who is the health [03444] of my countenance [06440], and my God [0430]. 19 44 1 To the chief Musician [05329] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141], Maschil [04905]. We have heard [08085] with our ears [0241], O God [0430], our fathers [01] have told [05608] us, what work [06467] thou didst [06466] in their days [03117], in the times [03117] of old [06924]. 19 44 2 How thou didst drive out [03423] the heathen [01471] with thy hand [03027], and plantedst [05193] them; how thou didst afflict [07489] the people [03816], and cast them out [07971]. 19 44 3 For they got [03423] not the land [0776] in possession [03423] by their own sword [02719], neither did their own arm [02220] save [03467] them: but thy right hand [03225], and thine arm [02220], and the light [0216] of thy countenance [06440], because thou hadst a favour [07521] unto them. 19 44 4 Thou art my King [04428], O God [0430]: command [06680] deliverances [03444] for Jacob [03290]. 19 44 5 Through thee will we push down [05055] our enemies [06862]: through thy name [08034] will we tread them under [0947] that rise up [06965] against us. 19 44 6 For I will not trust [0982] in my bow [07198], neither shall my sword [02719] save [03467] me. 19 44 7 But thou hast saved [03467] us from our enemies [06862], and hast put them to shame [0954] that hated [08130] us. 19 44 8 In God [0430] we boast [01984] all the day [03117] long, and praise [03034] thy name [08034] for ever [05769]. Selah [05542]. 19 44 9 But [0637] thou hast cast off [02186], and put us to shame [03637]; and goest not forth [03318] with our armies [06635]. 19 44 10 Thou makest us to turn [07725] back [0268] from the enemy [06862]: and they which hate [08130] us spoil [08154] for themselves. 19 44 11 Thou hast given [05414] us like sheep [06629] appointed for meat [03978]; and hast scattered [02219] us among the heathen [01471]. 19 44 12 Thou sellest [04376] thy people [05971] for nought [01952], and dost not increase [07235] thy wealth by their price [04242]. 19 44 13 Thou makest [07760] us a reproach [02781] to our neighbours [07934], a scorn [03933] and a derision [07047] to them that are round about [05439] us. 19 44 14 Thou makest [07760] us a byword [04912] among the heathen [01471], a shaking [04493] of the head [07218] among the people [03816]. 19 44 15 My confusion [03639] is continually [03117] before me, and the shame [01322] of my face [06440] hath covered [03680] me, 19 44 16 For the voice [06963] of him that reproacheth [02778] and blasphemeth [01442]; by reason [06440] of the enemy [0341] and avenger [05358]. 19 44 17 All this is come [0935] upon us; yet have we not forgotten [07911] thee, neither have we dealt falsely [08266] in thy covenant [01285]. 19 44 18 Our heart [03820] is not turned [05472] back [0268], neither have our steps [0838] declined [05186] from thy way [0734]; 19 44 19 Though thou hast sore broken [01794] us in the place [04725] of dragons [08577], and covered [03680] us with the shadow of death [06757]. 19 44 20 If we have forgotten [07911] the name [08034] of our God [0430], or stretched out [06566] our hands [03709] to a strange [02114] god [0410]; 19 44 21 Shall not God [0430] search this out [02713]? for he knoweth [03045] the secrets [08587] of the heart [03820]. 19 44 22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed [02026] all the day [03117] long; we are counted [02803] as sheep [06629] for the slaughter [02878]. 19 44 23 Awake [05782], why sleepest [03462] thou, O Lord [0136]? arise [06974], cast us not off [02186] for ever [05331]. 19 44 24 Wherefore hidest [05641] thou thy face [06440], and forgettest [07911] our affliction [06040] and our oppression [03906]? 19 44 25 For our soul [05315] is bowed down [07743] to the dust [06083]: our belly [0990] cleaveth [01692] unto the earth [0776]. 19 44 26 Arise [06965] for our help [05833], and redeem [06299] us for thy mercies [02617]' sake. 19 45 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Shoshannim [07799], for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141], Maschil [04905], A Song [07892] of loves [03039]. My heart [03820] is inditing [07370] a good [02896] matter [01697]: I speak [0559] of the things which I have made [04639] touching the king [04428]: my tongue [03956] is the pen [05842] of a ready [04106] writer [05608]. 19 45 2 Thou art fairer [03302] than the children [01121] of men [0120]: grace [02580] is poured [03332] into thy lips [08193]: therefore God [0430] hath blessed [01288] thee for ever [05769]. 19 45 3 Gird [02296] thy sword [02719] upon thy thigh [03409], O most mighty [01368], with thy glory [01935] and thy majesty [01926]. 19 45 4 And in thy majesty [01926] ride [07392] prosperously [06743] because [01697] of truth [0571] and meekness [06037] and righteousness [06664]; and thy right hand [03225] shall teach [03384] thee terrible things [03372]. 19 45 5 Thine arrows [02671] are sharp [08150] in the heart [03820] of the king's [04428] enemies [0341]; whereby the people [05971] fall [05307] under thee. 19 45 6 Thy throne [03678], O God [0430], is for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: the sceptre [07626] of thy kingdom [04438] is a right [04334] sceptre [07626]. 19 45 7 Thou lovest [0157] righteousness [06664], and hatest [08130] wickedness [07562]: therefore God [0430], thy God [0430], hath anointed [04886] thee with the oil [08081] of gladness [08342] above thy fellows [02270]. 19 45 8 All thy garments [0899] smell of myrrh [04753], and aloes [0174], and cassia [07102], out of the ivory [08127] palaces [01964], whereby [04482] they have made thee glad [08055]. 19 45 9 Kings [04428]' daughters [01323] were among thy honourable women [03368]: upon thy right hand [03225] did stand [05324] the queen [07694] in gold [03800] of Ophir [0211]. 19 45 10 Hearken [08085], O daughter [01323], and consider [07200], and incline [05186] thine ear [0241]; forget [07911] also thine own people [05971], and thy father's [01] house [01004]; 19 45 11 So shall the king [04428] greatly desire [0183] thy beauty [03308]: for he is thy Lord [0113]; and worship [07812] thou him. 19 45 12 And the daughter [01323] of Tyre [06865] shall be there with a gift [04503]; even the rich [06223] among the people [05971] shall intreat [02470] thy favour [06440]. 19 45 13 The king's [04428] daughter [01323] is all glorious [03520] within [06441]: her clothing [03830] is of wrought [04865] gold [02091]. 19 45 14 She shall be brought [02986] unto the king [04428] in raiment of needlework [07553]: the virgins [01330] her companions [07464] that follow [0310] her shall be brought [0935] unto thee. 19 45 15 With gladness [08057] and rejoicing [01524] shall they be brought [02986]: they shall enter [0935] into the king's [04428] palace [01964]. 19 45 16 Instead of thy fathers [01] shall be thy children [01121], whom thou mayest make [07896] princes [08269] in all the earth [0776]. 19 45 17 I will make thy name [08034] to be remembered [02142] in all [01755] generations [01755]: therefore shall the people [05971] praise [03034] thee for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 46 1 To the chief Musician [05329] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141], A Song [07892] upon Alamoth [05961]. God [0430] is our refuge [04268] and strength [05797], a very [03966] present [04672] help [05833] in trouble [06869]. 19 46 2 Therefore will not we fear [03372], though the earth [0776] be removed [04171], and though the mountains [02022] be carried [04131] into the midst [03820] of the sea [03220]; 19 46 3 Though the waters [04325] thereof roar [01993] and be troubled [02560], though the mountains [02022] shake [07493] with the swelling [01346] thereof. Selah [05542]. 19 46 4 There is a river [05104], the streams [06388] whereof shall make glad [08055] the city [05892] of God [0430], the holy [06918] place of the tabernacles [04908] of the most High [05945]. 19 46 5 God [0430] is in the midst [07130] of her; she shall not be moved [04131]: God [0430] shall help [05826] her, and that right [06437] early [01242]. 19 46 6 The heathen [01471] raged [01993], the kingdoms [04467] were moved [04131]: he uttered [05414] his voice [06963], the earth [0776] melted [04127]. 19 46 7 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is with us; the God [0430] of Jacob [03290] is our refuge [04869]. Selah [05542]. 19 46 8 Come [03212], behold [02372] the works [04659] of the LORD [03068], what desolations [08047] he hath made [07760] in the earth [0776]. 19 46 9 He maketh wars [04421] to cease [07673] unto the end [07097] of the earth [0776]; he breaketh [07665] the bow [07198], and cutteth [07112] the spear [02595] in sunder [07112]; he burneth [08313] the chariot [05699] in the fire [0784]. 19 46 10 Be still [07503], and know [03045] that I am God [0430]: I will be exalted [07311] among the heathen [01471], I will be exalted [07311] in the earth [0776]. 19 46 11 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is with us; the God [0430] of Jacob [03290] is our refuge [04869].

Selah [05542]. 19 47 5 God [0430] is gone up [05927] with a shout [08643], the LORD [03068] with the sound [06963] of a trumpet [07782]. 19 47 6 Sing praises [02167] to God [0430], sing praises [02167]: sing praises [02167] unto our King [04428], sing praises [02167]. 19 47 7 For God [0430] is the King [04428] of all the earth [0776]: sing ye praises [02167] with understanding [07919]. 19 47 8 God [0430] reigneth [04427] over the heathen [01471]: God [0430] sitteth [03427] upon the throne [03678] of his holiness [06944]. 19 47 9 The princes [05081] of the people [05971] are gathered together [0622], even the people [05971] of the God [0430] of Abraham [085]: for the shields [04043] of the earth [0776] belong unto God [0430]: he is greatly [03966] exalted [05927]. 19 48 1 A Song [07892] and Psalm [04210] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. Great [01419] is the LORD [03068], and greatly [03966] to be praised [01984] in the city [05892] of our God [0430], in the mountain [02022] of his holiness [06944]. 19 48 2 Beautiful [03303] for situation [05131], the joy [04885] of the whole earth [0776], is mount [02022] Zion [06726], on the sides [03411] of the north [06828], the city [07151] of the great [07227] King [04428]. 19 48 3 God [0430] is known [03045] in her palaces [0759] for a refuge [04869]. 19 48 4 For, lo, the kings [04428] were assembled [03259], they passed by [05674] together [03162]. 19 48 5 They saw [07200] it, and so they marvelled [08539]; they were troubled [0926], and hasted away [02648]. 19 48 6 Fear [07461] took hold [0270] upon them there, and pain [02427], as of a woman in travail [03205]. 19 48 7 Thou breakest [07665] the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] with an east [06921] wind [07307]. 19 48 8 As we have heard [08085], so have we seen [07200] in the city [05892] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], in the city [05892] of our God [0430]: God [0430] will establish [03559] it for [05704] ever [05769]. Selah [05542]. 19 48 9 We have thought [01819] of thy lovingkindness [02617], O God [0430], in the midst [07130] of thy temple [01964]. 19 48 10 According to thy name [08034], O God [0430], so is thy praise [08416] unto the ends [07099] of the earth [0776]: thy right hand [03225] is full [04390] of righteousness [06664]. 19 48 11 Let mount [02022] Zion [06726] rejoice [08055], let the daughters [01323] of Judah [03063] be glad [01523], because of thy judgments [04941]. 19 48 12 Walk about [05437] Zion [06726], and go round about [05362] her: tell [05608] the towers [04026] thereof. 19 48 13 Mark [07896] ye well [03820] her bulwarks [02430], consider [06448] her palaces [0759]; that ye may tell [05608] it to the generation [01755] following [0314]. 19 48 14 For this God [0430] is our God [0430] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: he will be our guide [05090] even unto death [04192]. 19 49 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. Hear [08085] this, all ye people [05971]; give ear [0238], all ye inhabitants [03427] of the world [02465]: 19 49 2 Both low [01121] [0120] and high [01121] [0376], rich [06223] and poor [034], together [03162]. 19 49 3 My mouth [06310] shall speak [01696] of wisdom [02454]; and the meditation [01900] of my heart [03820] shall be of understanding [08394]. 19 49 4 I will incline [05186] mine ear [0241] to a parable [04912]: I will open [06605] my dark saying [02420] upon the harp [03658]. 19 49 5 Wherefore should I fear [03372] in the days [03117] of evil [07451], when the iniquity [05771] of my heels [06120] shall compass [05437] me about? 19 49 6 They that trust [0982] in their wealth [02428], and boast [01984] themselves in the multitude [07230] of their riches [06239]; 19 49 7 None of them can [0376] by any means [06299] redeem [06299] his brother [0251], nor give [05414] to God [0430] a ransom [03724] for him: 19 49 8 (For the redemption [06306] of their soul [05315] is precious [03365], and it ceaseth [02308] for ever [05769]:) 19 49 9 That he should still live [02421] for ever [05331], and not see [07200] corruption [07845]. 19 49 10 For he seeth [07200] that wise men [02450] die [04191], likewise [03162] the fool [03684] and the brutish person [01198] perish [06], and leave [05800] their wealth [02428] to others [0312]. 19 49 11 Their inward [07130] thought is, that their houses [01004] shall continue for ever [05769], and their dwelling [04908] places to all [01755] generations [01755]; they call [07121] their lands [0127] after their own names [08034]. 19 49 12 Nevertheless man [0120] being in honour [03366] abideth [03885] not: he is like [04911] the beasts [0929] that perish [01820]. 19 49 13 This their way [01870] is their folly [03689]: yet their posterity [0310] approve [07521] their sayings [06310]. Selah [05542]. 19 49 14 Like sheep [06629] they are laid [08371] in the grave [07585]; death [04194] shall feed [07462] on them; and the upright [03477] shall have dominion [07287] over them in the morning [01242]; and their beauty [06697] [06736] shall consume [01086] in the grave [07585] from their dwelling [02073]. 19 49 15 But God [0430] will redeem [06299] my soul [05315] from the power [03027] of the grave [07585]: for he shall receive [03947] me. Selah [05542]. 19 49 16 Be not thou afraid [03372] when one [0376] is made rich [06238], when the glory [03519] of his house [01004] is increased [07235]; 19 49 17 For when he dieth [04194] he shall carry nothing away [03947]: his glory [03519] shall not descend [03381] after [0310] him. 19 49 18 Though while he lived [02416] he blessed [01288] his soul [05315]: and men will praise [03034] thee, when thou doest well [03190] to thyself. 19 49 19 He shall go [0935] to the generation [01755] of his fathers [01]; they shall never [03808] [05331] see [07200] light [0216]. 19 49 20 Man [0120] that is in honour [03366], and understandeth [0995] not, is like [04911] the beasts [0929] that perish [01820]. 19 50 1 A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. The mighty [0410] God [0430], even the LORD [03068], hath spoken [01696], and called [07121] the earth [0776] from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121] unto the going down [03996] thereof. 19 50 2 Out of Zion [06726], the perfection [04359] of beauty [03308], God [0430] hath shined [03313]. 19 50 3 Our God [0430] shall come [0935], and shall not keep silence [02790]: a fire [0784] shall devour [0398] before [06440] him, and it shall be very [03966] tempestuous [08175] round about [05439] him. 19 50 4 He shall call [07121] to the heavens [08064] from above [05920], and to the earth [0776], that he may judge [01777] his people [05971]. 19 50 5 Gather [0622] my saints [02623] together unto me; those that have made [03772] a covenant [01285] with me by sacrifice [02077]. 19 50 6 And the heavens [08064] shall declare [05046] his righteousness [06664]: for God [0430] is judge [08199] himself. Selah [05542]. 19 50 7 Hear [08085], O my people [05971], and I will speak [01696]; O Israel [03478], and I will testify [05749] against thee: I am God [0430], even thy God [0430]. 19 50 8 I will not reprove [03198] thee for thy sacrifices [02077] or thy burnt offerings [05930], to have been continually [08548] before me. 19 50 9 I will take [03947] no bullock [06499] out of thy house [01004], nor he goats [06260] out of thy folds [04356]. 19 50 10 For every beast [02416] of the forest [03293] is mine, and the cattle [0929] upon a thousand [0505] hills [02042]. 19 50 11 I know [03045] all the fowls [05775] of the mountains [02022]: and the wild beasts [02123] of the field [07704] are mine [05978]. 19 50 12 If I were hungry [07456], I would not tell [0559] thee: for the world [08398] is mine, and the fulness [04393] thereof. 19 50 13 Will I eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of bulls [047], or drink [08354] the blood [01818] of goats [06260]? 19 50 14 Offer [02076] unto God [0430] thanksgiving [08426]; and pay [07999] thy vows [05088] unto the most High [05945]: 19 50 15 And call [07121] upon me in the day [03117] of trouble [06869]: I will deliver [02502] thee, and thou shalt glorify [03513] me. 19 50 16 But unto the wicked [07563] God [0430] saith [0559], What hast thou to do to declare [05608] my statutes [02706], or that thou shouldest take [05375] my covenant [01285] in thy mouth [06310]? 19 50 17 Seeing thou hatest [08130] instruction [04148], and castest [07993] my words [01697] behind [0310] thee. 19 50 18 When thou sawest [07200] a thief [01590], then thou consentedst [07521] with him, and hast been partaker [02506] with adulterers [05003]. 19 50 19 Thou givest [07971] thy mouth [06310] to evil [07451], and thy tongue [03956] frameth [06775] deceit [04820]. 19 50 20 Thou sittest [03427] and speakest [01696] against thy brother [0251]; thou [05414] slanderest [01848] thine own mother's [0517] son [01121]. 19 50 21 These things hast thou done [06213], and I kept silence [02790]; thou thoughtest [01819] that I was altogether [01961] such an one as thyself: but I will reprove [03198] thee, and set them in order [06186] before thine eyes [05869]. 19 50 22 Now consider [0995] this, ye that forget [07911] God [0433], lest I tear you in pieces [02963], and there be none to deliver [05337]. 19 50 23 Whoso offereth [02076] praise [08426] glorifieth [03513] me: and to him that ordereth [07760] his conversation [01870] aright will I shew [07200] the salvation [03468] of God [0430]. 19 51 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030] came [0935] unto him, after he had gone in [0935] to Bathsheba [01339]. Have mercy [02603] upon me, O God [0430], according to thy lovingkindness [02617]: according unto the multitude [07230] of thy tender mercies [07356] blot out [04229] my transgressions [06588]. 19 51 2 Wash [03526] me throughly [07235] from mine iniquity [05771], and cleanse [02891] me from my sin [02403]. 19 51 3 For I acknowledge [03045] my transgressions [06588]: and my sin [02403] is ever [08548] before me. 19 51 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned [02398], and done [06213] this evil [07451] in thy sight [05869]: that thou mightest be justified [06663] when thou speakest [01696], and be clear [02135] when thou judgest [08199]. 19 51 5 Behold, I was shapen [02342] in iniquity [05771]; and in sin [02399] did my mother [0517] conceive [03179] me. 19 51 6 Behold, thou desirest [02654] truth [0571] in the inward parts [02910]: and in the hidden [05640] part thou shalt make me to know [03045] wisdom [02451]. 19 51 7 Purge [02398] me with hyssop [0231], and I shall be clean [02891]: wash [03526] me, and I shall be whiter [03835] than snow [07950]. 19 51 8 Make me to hear [08085] joy [08342] and gladness [08057]; that the bones [06106] which thou hast broken [01794] may rejoice [01523]. 19 51 9 Hide [05641] thy face [06440] from my sins [02399], and blot out [04229] all mine iniquities [05771]. 19 51 10 Create [01254] in me a clean [02889] heart [03820], O God [0430]; and renew [02318] a right [03559] spirit [07307] within [07130] me. 19 51 11 Cast me not away [07993] from thy presence [06440]; and take [03947] not thy holy [06944] spirit [07307] from me. 19 51 12 Restore [07725] unto me the joy [08342] of thy salvation [03468]; and uphold [05564] me with thy free [05081] spirit [07307]. 19 51 13 Then will I teach [03925] transgressors [06586] thy ways [01870]; and sinners [02400] shall be converted [07725] unto thee. 19 51 14 Deliver [05337] me from bloodguiltiness [01818], O God [0430], thou God [0430] of my salvation [08668]: and my tongue [03956] shall sing aloud [07442] of thy righteousness [06666]. 19 51 15 O Lord [0136], open [06605] thou my lips [08193]; and my mouth [06310] shall shew forth [05046] thy praise [08416]. 19 51 16 For thou desirest [02654] not sacrifice [02077]; else would I give [05414] it: thou delightest [07521] not in burnt offering [05930]. 19 51 17 The sacrifices [02077] of God [0430] are a broken [07665] spirit [07307]: a broken [07665] and a contrite [01794] heart [03820], O God [0430], thou wilt not despise [0959]. 19 51 18 Do good [03190] in thy good pleasure [07522] unto Zion [06726]: build [01129] thou the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389]. 19 51 19 Then shalt thou be pleased [02654] with the sacrifices [02077] of righteousness [06664], with burnt offering [05930] and whole [03632] burnt offering [05930]: then shall they offer [05927] bullocks [06499] upon thine altar [04196]. 19 52 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Maschil [04905], A Psalm of David [01732], when Doeg [01673] the Edomite [0130] came [0935] and told [05046] Saul [07586], and said [0559] unto him, David [01732] is come [0935] to the house [01004] of Ahimelech [0288]. Why boastest [01984] thou thyself in mischief [07451], O mighty [01368] man? the goodness [02617] of God [0410] endureth continually [03117]. 19 52 2 Thy tongue [03956] deviseth [02803] mischiefs [01942]; like a sharp [03913] razor [08593], working [06213] deceitfully [07423]. 19 52 3 Thou lovest [0157] evil [07451] more than good [02896]; and lying [08267] rather than to speak [01696] righteousness [06664]. Selah [05542]. 19 52 4 Thou lovest [0157] all devouring [01105] words [01697], O thou deceitful [04820] tongue [03956]. 19 52 5 God [0410] shall likewise destroy [05422] thee for ever [05331], he shall take thee away [02846], and pluck thee out [05255] of thy dwelling place [0168], and root thee out [08327] of the land [0776] of the living [02416]. Selah [05542]. 19 52 6 The righteous [06662] also shall see [07200], and fear [03372], and shall laugh [07832] at him: 19 52 7 Lo, this is the man [01397] that made [07760] not God [0430] his strength [04581]; but trusted [0982] in the abundance [07230] of his riches [06239], and strengthened [05810] himself in his wickedness [01942]. 19 52 8 But I am like a green [07488] olive tree [02132] in the house [01004] of God [0430]: I trust [0982] in the mercy [02617] of God [0430] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 52 9 I will praise [03034] thee for ever [05769], because thou hast done [06213] it: and I will wait [06960] on thy name [08034]; for it is good [02896] before thy saints [02623]. 19 53 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Mahalath [04257], Maschil [04905], A Psalm of David [01732]. The fool [05036] hath said [0559] in his heart [03820], There is no God [0430]. Corrupt [07843] are they, and have done abominable [08581] iniquity [05766]: there is none that doeth [06213] good [02896]. 19 53 2 God [0430] looked down [08259] from heaven [08064] upon the children [01121] of men [0120], to see [07200] if there were [03426] any that did understand [07919], that did seek [01875] God [0430]. 19 53 3 Every one of them is gone back [05472]: they are altogether [03162] become filthy [0444]; there is none that doeth [06213] good [02896], no, not one [0259]. 19 53 4 Have the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] no knowledge [03045]? who eat up [0398] my people [05971] as they eat [0398] bread [03899]: they have not called [07121] upon God [0430]. 19 53 5 There were they in great [06343] fear [06342], where no fear [06343] was: for God [0430] hath scattered [06340] the bones [06106] of him that encampeth [02583] against thee: thou hast put them to shame [0954], because God [0430] hath despised [03988] them. 19 53 6 Oh that [05414] the salvation [03444] of Israel [03478] were come out of Zion [06726]! When God [0430] bringeth back [07725] the captivity [07622] of his people [05971], Jacob [03290] shall rejoice [01523], and Israel [03478] shall be glad [08055]. 19 54 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], Maschil [04905], A Psalm of David [01732], when the Ziphims [02130] came [0935] and said [0559] to Saul [07586], Doth not David [01732] hide [05641] himself with us? Save [03467] me, O God [0430], by thy name [08034], and judge [01777] me by thy strength [01369]. 19 54 2 Hear [08085] my prayer [08605], O God [0430]; give ear [0238] to the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 19 54 3 For strangers [02114] are risen up [06965] against me, and oppressors [06184] seek [01245] after my soul [05315]: they have not set [07760] God [0430] before them. Selah [05542]. 19 54 4 Behold, God [0430] is mine helper [05826]: the Lord [0136] is with them that uphold [05564] my soul [05315]. 19 54 5 He shall reward [07725] [07725] evil [07451] unto mine enemies [08324]: cut them off [06789] in thy truth [0571]. 19 54 6 I will freely [05071] sacrifice [02076] unto thee: I will praise [03034] thy name [08034], O LORD [03068]; for it is good [02896]. 19 54 7 For he hath delivered [05337] me out of all trouble [06869]: and mine eye [05869] hath seen [07200] his desire upon mine enemies [0341]. 19 55 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], Maschil [04905], A Psalm of David [01732]. Give ear [0238] to my prayer [08605], O God [0430]; and hide [05956] not thyself from my supplication [08467]. 19 55 2 Attend [07181] unto me, and hear [06030] me: I mourn [07300] in my complaint [07879], and make a noise [01949]; 19 55 3 Because of the voice [06963] of the enemy [0341], because [06440] of the oppression [06125] of the wicked [07563]: for they cast [04131] iniquity [0205] upon me, and in wrath [0639] they hate [07852] me. 19 55 4 My heart [03820] is sore pained [02342] within [07130] me: and the terrors [0367] of death [04194] are fallen [05307] upon me. 19 55 5 Fearfulness [03374] and trembling [07461] are come [0935] upon me, and horror [06427] hath overwhelmed [03680] me. 19 55 6 And I said [0559], Oh that [05414] I had wings [083] like a dove [03123]! for then would I fly away [05774], and be at rest [07931]. 19 55 7 Lo, then would I wander [05074] far off [07368], and remain [03885] in the wilderness [04057]. Selah [05542]. 19 55 8 I would hasten [02363] my escape [04655] from the windy [07307] storm [05584] and tempest [05591]. 19 55 9 Destroy [01104], O Lord [0136], and divide [06385] their tongues [03956]: for I have seen [07200] violence [02555] and strife [07379] in the city [05892]. 19 55 10 Day [03119] and night [03915] they go about [05437] it upon the walls [02346] thereof: mischief [0205] also and sorrow [05999] are in the midst [07130] of it. 19 55 11 Wickedness [01942] is in the midst [07130] thereof: deceit [08496] and guile [04820] depart [04185] not from her streets [07339]. 19 55 12 For it was not an enemy [0341] that reproached [02778] me; then I could have borne [05375] it: neither was it he that hated [08130] me that did magnify [01431] himself against me; then I would have hid [05641] myself from him: 19 55 13 But it was thou, a man [0582] mine equal [06187], my guide [0441], and mine acquaintance [03045]. 19 55 14 We took sweet [04985] counsel [05475] together [03162], and walked [01980] unto the house [01004] of God [0430] in company [07285]. 19 55 15 Let death [04194] seize [05377] [03451] upon them, and let them go down [03381] quick [02416] into hell [07585]: for wickedness [07451] is in their dwellings [04033], and among [07130] them. 19 55 16 As for me, I will call [07121] upon God [0430]; and the LORD [03068] shall save [03467] me. 19 55 17 Evening [06153], and morning [01242], and at noon [06672], will I pray [07878], and cry aloud [01993]: and he shall hear [08085] my voice [06963]. 19 55 18 He hath delivered [06299] my soul [05315] in peace [07965] from the battle [07128] that was against me: for there were many [07227] with me. 19 55 19 God [0410] shall hear [08085], and afflict [06030] them, even he that abideth [03427] of old [06924]. Selah [05542]. Because they have no changes [02487], therefore they fear [03372] not God [0430]. 19 55 20 He hath put forth [07971] his hands [03027] against such as be at peace [07965] with him: he hath broken [02490] his covenant [01285]. 19 55 21 The words of his mouth [06310] were smoother [02505] than butter [04260], but war [07128] was in his heart [03820]: his words [01697] were softer [07401] than oil [08081], yet were they drawn swords [06609]. 19 55 22 Cast [07993] thy burden [03053] upon the LORD [03068], and he shall sustain [03557] thee: he shall never [05769] suffer [05414] the righteous [06662] to be moved [04131]. 19 55 23 But thou, O God [0430], shalt bring them down [03381] into the pit [0875] of destruction [07845]: bloody [01818] and deceitful [04820] men [0582] shall not live out half [02673] their days [03117]; but I will trust [0982] in thee. 19 56 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Jonathelemrechokim [03128], Michtam [04387] of David [01732], when the Philistines [06430] took [0270] him in Gath [01661]. Be merciful [02603] unto me, O God [0430]: for man [0582] would swallow me up [07602]; he fighting [03898] daily [03117] oppresseth [03905] me. 19 56 2 Mine enemies [08324] would daily [03117] swallow [07602] me up: for they be many [07227] that fight [03898] against me, O thou most High [04791]. 19 56 3 What time [03117] I am afraid [03372], I will trust [0982] in thee. 19 56 4 In God [0430] I will praise [01984] his word [01697], in God [0430] I have put my trust [0982]; I will not fear [03372] what flesh [01320] can do [06213] unto me. 19 56 5 Every day [03117] they wrest [06087] my words [01697]: all their thoughts [04284] are against me for evil [07451]. 19 56 6 They gather themselves together [01481], they hide [06845] [06845] themselves, they mark [08104] my steps [06119], when they wait [06960] for my soul [05315]. 19 56 7 Shall they escape [06405] by iniquity [0205]? in thine anger [0639] cast down [03381] the people [05971], O God [0430]. 19 56 8 Thou tellest [05608] my wanderings [05112]: put [07760] thou my tears [01832] into thy bottle [04997]: are they not in thy book [05612]? 19 56 9 When [03117] I cry [07121] unto thee, then shall mine enemies [0341] turn [07725] back [0268]: this I know [03045]; for God [0430] is for me. 19 56 10 In God [0430] will I praise [01984] his word [01697]: in the LORD [03068] will I praise [01984] his word [01697]. 19 56 11 In God [0430] have I put my trust [0982]: I will not be afraid [03372] what man [0120] can do [06213] unto me. 19 56 12 Thy vows [05088] are upon me, O God [0430]: I will render [07999] praises [08426] unto thee. 19 56 13 For thou hast delivered [05337] my soul [05315] from death [04194]: wilt not thou deliver my feet [07272] from falling [01762], that I may walk [01980] before [06440] God [0430] in the light [0216] of the living [02416]? 19 57 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Altaschith [0516], Michtam [04387] of David [01732], when he fled [01272] from [06440] Saul [07586] in the cave [04631]. Be merciful [02603] unto me, O God [0430], be merciful [02603] unto me: for my soul [05315] trusteth [02620] in thee: yea, in the shadow [06738] of thy wings [03671] will I make my refuge [02620], until these calamities [01942] be overpast [05674]. 19 57 2 I will cry [07121] unto God [0430] most high [05945]; unto God [0410] that performeth [01584] all things for me. 19 57 3 He shall send [07971] from heaven [08064], and save [03467] me from the reproach [02778] of him that would swallow me up [07602]. Selah [05542]. God [0430] shall send forth [07971] his mercy [02617] and his truth [0571]. 19 57 4 My soul [05315] is among [08432] lions [03833]: and I lie [07901] even among them that are set on fire [03857], even the sons [01121] of men [0120], whose teeth [08127] are spears [02595] and arrows [02671], and their tongue [03956] a sharp [02299] sword [02719]. 19 57 5 Be thou exalted [07311], O God [0430], above the heavens [08064]; let thy glory [03519] be above all the earth [0776]. 19 57 6 They have prepared [03559] a net [07568] for my steps [06471]; my soul [05315] is bowed down [03721]: they have digged [03738] a pit [07882] before [06440] me, into the midst [08432] whereof they are fallen [05307] themselves. Selah [05542]. 19 57 7 My heart [03820] is fixed [03559], O God [0430], my heart [03820] is fixed [03559]: I will sing [07891] and give praise [02167]. 19 57 8 Awake up [05782], my glory [03519]; awake [05782], psaltery [05035] and harp [03658]: I myself will awake [05782] early [07837]. 19 57 9 I will praise [03034] thee, O Lord [0136], among the people [05971]: I will sing [02167] unto thee among the nations [03816]. 19 57 10 For thy mercy [02617] is great [01419] unto the heavens [08064], and thy truth [0571] unto the clouds [07834]. 19 57 11 Be thou exalted [07311], O God [0430], above the heavens [08064]: let thy glory [03519] be above all the earth [0776]. 19 58 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Altaschith [0516], Michtam [04387] of David [01732]. Do ye indeed [0552] speak [01696] righteousness [06664], O congregation [0482]? do ye judge [08199] uprightly [04339], O ye sons [01121] of men [0120]? 19 58 2 Yea, in heart [03820] ye work [06466] wickedness [05766]; ye weigh [06424] the violence [02555] of your hands [03027] in the earth [0776]. 19 58 3 The wicked [07563] are estranged [02114] from the womb [07358]: they go astray [08582] as soon as they be born [0990], speaking [01696] lies [03577]. 19 58 4 Their poison [02534] is like [01823] the poison [02534] of a serpent [05175]: they are like the deaf [02795] adder [06620] that stoppeth [0331] her ear [0241]; 19 58 5 Which will not hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of charmers [03907], charming [02266] [02267] never so wisely [02449]. 19 58 6 Break [02040] their teeth [08127], O God [0430], in their mouth [06310]: break out [05422] the great teeth [04459] of the young lions [03715], O LORD [03068]. 19 58 7 Let them melt away [03988] as waters [04325] which run continually [01980]: when he bendeth [01869] his bow to shoot his arrows [02671], let them be as cut in pieces [04135]. 19 58 8 As a snail [07642] which melteth [08557], let every one of them pass away [01980]: like the untimely birth [05309] of a woman [0802], that they may not see [02372] the sun [08121]. 19 58 9 Before your pots [05518] can feel [0995] the thorns [0329], he shall take them away as with a whirlwind [08175], both living [02416], and in his wrath [02740]. 19 58 10 The righteous [06662] shall rejoice [08055] when he seeth [02372] the vengeance [05359]: he shall wash [07364] his feet [06471] in the blood [01818] of the wicked [07563]. 19 58 11 So that a man [0120] shall say [0559], Verily there is a reward [06529] for the righteous [06662]: verily he is [03426] a God [0430] that judgeth [08199] in the earth [0776]. 19 59 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Altaschith [0516], Michtam [04387] of David [01732]; when Saul [07586] sent [07971], and they watched [08104] the house [01004] to kill him [04191]. Deliver [05337] me from mine enemies [0341], O my God [0430]: defend [07682] me from them that rise up [06965] against me. 19 59 2 Deliver [05337] me from the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205], and save [03467] me from bloody [01818] men [0582]. 19 59 3 For, lo, they lie in wait [0693] for my soul [05315]: the mighty [05794] are gathered [01481] against me; not for my transgression [06588], nor for my sin [02403], O LORD [03068]. 19 59 4 They run [07323] and prepare [03559] themselves without my fault [05771]: awake [05782] to help [07125] me, and behold [07200]. 19 59 5 Thou therefore, O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], awake [06974] to visit [06485] all the heathen [01471]: be not merciful [02603] to any wicked [0205] transgressors [0898]. Selah [05542]. 19 59 6 They return [07725] at evening [06153]: they make a noise [01993] like a dog [03611], and go round about [05437] the city [05892]. 19 59 7 Behold, they belch out [05042] with their mouth [06310]: swords [02719] are in their lips [08193]: for who, say they, doth hear [08085]? 19 59 8 But thou, O LORD [03068], shalt laugh [07832] at them; thou shalt have all the heathen [01471] in derision [03932]. 19 59 9 Because of his strength [05797] will I wait [08104] upon thee: for God [0430] is my defence [04869]. 19 59 10 The God [0430] of my mercy [02617] shall prevent [06923] me: God [0430] shall let me see [07200] my desire upon mine enemies [08324]. 19 59 11 Slay [02026] them not, lest my people [05971] forget [07911]: scatter [05128] them by thy power [02428]; and bring them down [03381], O Lord [0136] our shield [04043]. 19 59 12 For the sin [02403] of their mouth [06310] and the words [01697] of their lips [08193] let them even be taken [03920] in their pride [01347]: and for cursing [0423] and lying [03585] which they speak [05608]. 19 59 13 Consume [03615] them in wrath [02534], consume [03615] them, that they may not be: and let them know [03045] that God [0430] ruleth [04910] in Jacob [03290] unto the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]. Selah [05542]. 19 59 14 And at evening [06153] let them return [07725]; and let them make a noise [01993] like a dog [03611], and go round about [05437] the city [05892]. 19 59 15 Let them wander up and down [05128] [05128] for meat [0398], and grudge [03885] if they be not satisfied [07646]. 19 59 16 But I will sing [07891] of thy power [05797]; yea, I will sing aloud [07442] of thy mercy [02617] in the morning [01242]: for thou hast been my defence [04869] and refuge [04498] in the day [03117] of my trouble [06862]. 19 59 17 Unto thee, O my strength [05797], will I sing [02167]: for God [0430] is my defence [04869], and the God [0430] of my mercy [02617]. 19 60 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Shushaneduth [07802], Michtam [04387] of David [01732], to teach [03925]; when he strove [05327] with Aramnaharaim [0763] [05104] and with Aramzobah [0760], when Joab [03097] returned [07725], and smote [05221] of Edom [0123] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417] twelve [08147] [06240] thousand [0505]. O God [0430], thou hast cast us off [02186], thou hast scattered [06555] us, thou hast been displeased [0599]; O turn thyself to us again [07725]. 19 60 2 Thou hast made the earth [0776] to tremble [07493]; thou hast broken [06480] it: heal [07495] the breaches [07667] thereof; for it shaketh [04131]. 19 60 3 Thou hast shewed [07200] thy people [05971] hard things [07186]: thou hast made us to drink [08248] the wine [03196] of astonishment [08653]. 19 60 4 Thou hast given [05414] a banner [05251] to them that fear [03373] thee, that it may be displayed [05127] because [06440] of the truth [07189]. Selah [05542]. 19 60 5 That thy beloved [03039] may be delivered [02502]; save [03467] with thy right hand [03225], and hear [06030] me. 19 60 6 God [0430] hath spoken [01696] in his holiness [06944]; I will rejoice [05937], I will divide [02505] Shechem [07927], and mete out [04058] the valley [06010] of Succoth [05523]. 19 60 7 Gilead [01568] is mine, and Manasseh [04519] is mine; Ephraim [0669] also is the strength [04581] of mine head [07218]; Judah [03063] is my lawgiver [02710]; 19 60 8 Moab [04124] is my washpot [05518] [07366]; over Edom [0123] will I cast out [07993] my shoe [05275]: Philistia [06429], triumph [07321] thou because of me. 19 60 9 Who will bring [02986] me into the strong [04692] city [05892]? who will lead [05148] me into Edom [0123]? 19 60 10 Wilt not thou, O God [0430], which hadst cast us off [02186]? and thou, O God [0430], which didst not go out [03318] with our armies [06635]? 19 60 11 Give [03051] us help [05833] from trouble [06862]: for vain [07723] is the help [08668] of man [0120]. 19 60 12 Through God [0430] we shall do [06213] valiantly [02428]: for he it is that shall tread down [0947] our enemies [06862]. 19 61 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Neginah [05058], A Psalm of David [01732]. Hear [08085] my cry [07440], O God [0430]; attend [07181] unto my prayer [08605]. 19 61 2 From the end [07097] of the earth [0776] will I cry [07121] unto thee, when my heart [03820] is overwhelmed [05848]: lead [05148] me to the rock [06697] that is higher [07311] than I. 19 61 3 For thou hast been a shelter [04268] for me, and a strong [05797] tower [04026] from [06440] the enemy [0341]. 19 61 4 I will abide [01481] in thy tabernacle [0168] for ever [05769]: I will trust [02620] in the covert [05643] of thy wings [03671]. Selah [05542]. 19 61 5 For thou, O God [0430], hast heard [08085] my vows [05088]: thou hast given [05414] me the heritage [03425] of those that fear [03373] thy name [08034]. 19 61 6 Thou wilt prolong [03254] the king's [04428] life [03117] [03117]: and his years [08141] as many [01755] generations [01755]. 19 61 7 He shall abide [03427] before [06440] God [0430] for ever [05769]: O prepare [04487] mercy [02617] and truth [0571], which may preserve [05341] him. 19 61 8 So will I sing [02167] praise unto thy name [08034] for ever [05703], that I may daily [03117] [03117] perform [07999] my vows [05088]. 19 62 1 To the chief Musician [05329], to Jeduthun [03038], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Truly my soul [05315] waiteth [01747] upon God [0430]: from him cometh my salvation [03444]. 19 62 2 He only is my rock [06697] and my salvation [03444]; he is my defence [04869]; I shall not be greatly [07227] moved [04131]. 19 62 3 How long will ye imagine mischief [02050] against a man [0376]? ye shall be slain [07523] all of you: as a bowing [05186] wall [07023] shall ye be, and as a tottering [01760] fence [01447]. 19 62 4 They only consult [03289] to cast him down [05080] from his excellency [07613]: they delight [07521] in lies [03577]: they bless [01288] with their mouth [06310], but they curse [07043] inwardly [07130]. Selah [05542]. 19 62 5 My soul [05315], wait [01826] thou only upon God [0430]; for my expectation [08615] is from him. 19 62 6 He only is my rock [06697] and my salvation [03444]: he is my defence [04869]; I shall not be moved [04131]. 19 62 7 In God [0430] is my salvation [03468] and my glory [03519]: the rock [06697] of my strength [05797], and my refuge [04268], is in God [0430]. 19 62 8 Trust [0982] in him at all times [06256]; ye people [05971], pour out [08210] your heart [03824] before [06440] him: God [0430] is a refuge [04268] for us. Selah [05542]. 19 62 9 Surely men [0120] [01121] of low degree are vanity [01892], and men [0376] of high degree are a lie [03577]: to be laid [05927] in the balance [03976], they are altogether [03162] lighter than vanity [01892]. 19 62 10 Trust [0982] not in oppression [06233], and become not vain [01891] in robbery [01498]: if riches [02428] increase [05107], set [07896] not your heart [03820] upon them. 19 62 11 God [0430] hath spoken [01696] once [0259]; twice [08147] have I heard [08085] this [02098]; that power [05797] belongeth unto God [0430]. 19 62 12 Also unto thee, O Lord [0136], belongeth mercy [02617]: for thou renderest [07999] to every man [0376] according to his work [04639]. 19 63 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732], when he was in the wilderness [04057] of Judah [03063]. O God [0430], thou art my God [0410]; early will I seek [07836] thee: my soul [05315] thirsteth [06770] for thee, my flesh [01320] longeth [03642] for thee in a dry [06723] and thirsty [05889] land [0776], where no [01097] water [04325] is; 19 63 2 To see [07200] thy power [05797] and thy glory [03519], so as I have seen [02372] thee in the sanctuary [06944]. 19 63 3 Because thy lovingkindness [02617] is better [02896] than life [02416], my lips [08193] shall praise [07623] thee. 19 63 4 Thus will I bless [01288] thee while I live [02416]: I will lift up [05375] my hands [03709] in thy name [08034]. 19 63 5 My soul [05315] shall be satisfied [07646] as with marrow [02459] and fatness [01880]; and my mouth [06310] shall praise [01984] thee with joyful [07445] lips [08193]: 19 63 6 When I remember [02142] thee upon my bed [03326], and meditate [01897] on thee in the night watches [0821]. 19 63 7 Because thou hast been my help [05833], therefore in the shadow [06738] of thy wings [03671] will I rejoice [07442]. 19 63 8 My soul [05315] followeth hard [01692] after [0310] thee: thy right hand [03225] upholdeth [08551] me. 19 63 9 But those that seek [01245] my soul [05315], to destroy [07722] it, shall go [0935] into the lower parts [08482] of the earth [0776]. 19 63 10 They shall fall [05064] by the sword [03027] [02719]: they shall be a portion [04521] for foxes [07776]. 19 63 11 But the king [04428] shall rejoice [08055] in God [0430]; every one that sweareth [07650] by him shall glory [01984]: but the mouth [06310] of them that speak [01696] lies [08267] shall be stopped [05534]. 19 64 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Hear [08085] my voice [06963], O God [0430], in my prayer [07879]: preserve [05341] my life [02416] from fear [06343] of the enemy [0341]. 19 64 2 Hide [05641] me from the secret counsel [05475] of the wicked [07489]; from the insurrection [07285] of the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]: 19 64 3 Who whet [08150] their tongue [03956] like a sword [02719], and bend [01869] their bows to shoot their arrows [02671], even bitter [04751] words [01697]: 19 64 4 That they may shoot [03384] in secret [04565] at the perfect [08535]: suddenly [06597] do they shoot [03384] at him, and fear [03372] not. 19 64 5 They encourage [02388] themselves in an evil [07451] matter [01697]: they commune [05608] of laying [02934] snares [04170] privily [02934]; they say [0559], Who shall see [07200] them? 19 64 6 They search out [02664] iniquities [05766]; they accomplish [08552] a diligent [02664] search [02665]: both the inward [07130] thought of every one [0376] of them, and the heart [03820], is deep [06013]. 19 64 7 But God [0430] shall shoot [03384] at them with an arrow [02671]; suddenly [06597] shall they be wounded [04347]. 19 64 8 So they shall make their own tongue [03956] to fall [03782] upon themselves: all that see [07200] them shall flee away [05074]. 19 64 9 And all men [0120] shall fear [03372], and shall declare [05046] the work [06467] of God [0430]; for they shall wisely consider [07919] of his doing [04639]. 19 64 10 The righteous [06662] shall be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068], and shall trust [02620] in him; and all the upright [03477] in heart [03820] shall glory [01984]. 19 65 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] and Song [07892] of David [01732]. Praise [08416] waiteth [01747] for thee, O God [0430], in Sion [06726]: and unto thee shall the vow [05088] be performed [07999]. 19 65 2 O thou that hearest [08085] prayer [08605], unto thee shall all flesh [01320] come [0935]. 19 65 3 Iniquities [01697] [05771] prevail [01396] against me: as for our transgressions [06588], thou shalt purge them away [03722]. 19 65 4 Blessed [0835] is the man whom thou choosest [0977], and causest to approach [07126] unto thee, that he may dwell [07931] in thy courts [02691]: we shall be satisfied [07646] with the goodness [02898] of thy house [01004], even of thy holy [06918] temple [01964]. 19 65 5 By terrible things [03372] in righteousness [06664] wilt thou answer [06030] us, O God [0430] of our salvation [03468]; who art the confidence [04009] of all the ends [07099] of the earth [0776], and of them that are afar off [07350] upon the sea [03220]: 19 65 6 Which by his strength [03581] setteth fast [03559] the mountains [02022]; being girded [0247] with power [01369]: 19 65 7 Which stilleth [07623] the noise [07588] of the seas [03220], the noise [07588] of their waves [01530], and the tumult [01995] of the people [03816]. 19 65 8 They also that dwell [03427] in the uttermost parts [07099] are afraid [03372] at thy tokens [0226]: thou makest the outgoings [04161] of the morning [01242] and evening [06153] to rejoice [07442]. 19 65 9 Thou visitest [06485] the earth [0776], and waterest [07783] it: thou greatly [07227] enrichest [06238] it with the river [06388] of God [0430], which is full [04390] of water [04325]: thou preparest [03559] them corn [01715], when thou hast so provided [03559] for it. 19 65 10 Thou waterest [07301] the ridges [08525] thereof abundantly [07301]: thou settlest [05181] the furrows [01417] [01418] thereof: thou makest it soft [04127] with showers [07241]: thou blessest [01288] the springing [06780] thereof. 19 65 11 Thou crownest [05849] the year [08141] with thy goodness [02896]; and thy paths [04570] drop [07491] fatness [01880]. 19 65 12 They drop [07491] upon the pastures [04999] of the wilderness [04057]: and the little hills [01389] rejoice [01524] on every side [02296]. 19 65 13 The pastures [03733] are clothed [03847] with flocks [06629]; the valleys [06010] also are covered over [05848] with corn [01250]; they shout for joy [07321], they also sing [07891]. 19 66 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Song [07892] or Psalm [04210]. Make a joyful noise [07321] unto God [0430], all ye lands [0776]: 19 66 2 Sing forth [02167] the honour [03519] of his name [08034]: make [07760] his praise [08416] glorious [03519]. 19 66 3 Say [0559] unto God [0430], How terrible [03372] art thou in thy works [04639]! through the greatness [07230] of thy power [05797] shall thine enemies [0341] submit [03584] themselves unto thee. 19 66 4 All the earth [0776] shall worship [07812] thee, and shall sing [02167] unto thee; they shall sing [02167] to thy name [08034]. Selah [05542]. 19 66 5 Come [03212] and see [07200] the works [04659] of God [0430]: he is terrible [03372] in his doing [05949] toward the children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 66 6 He turned [02015] the sea [03220] into dry [03004] land: they went [05674] through the flood [05104] on foot [07272]: there did we rejoice [08055] in him. 19 66 7 He ruleth [04910] by his power [01369] for ever [05769]; his eyes [05869] behold [06822] the nations [01471]: let not the rebellious [05637] exalt [07311] [07311] themselves. Selah [05542]. 19 66 8 O bless [01288] our God [0430], ye people [05971], and make the voice [06963] of his praise [08416] to be heard [08085]: 19 66 9 Which holdeth [07760] our soul [05315] in life [02416], and suffereth [05414] not our feet [07272] to be moved [04132]. 19 66 10 For thou, O God [0430], hast proved [0974] us: thou hast tried [06884] us, as silver [03701] is tried [06884]. 19 66 11 Thou broughtest [0935] us into the net [04686]; thou laidst [07760] affliction [04157] upon our loins [04975]. 19 66 12 Thou hast caused men [0582] to ride [07392] over our heads [07218]; we went [0935] through fire [0784] and through water [04325]: but thou broughtest us out [03318] into a wealthy [07310] place. 19 66 13 I will go [0935] into thy house [01004] with burnt offerings [05930]: I will pay [07999] thee my vows [05088], 19 66 14 Which my lips [08193] have uttered [06475], and my mouth [06310] hath spoken [01696], when I was in trouble [06862]. 19 66 15 I will offer [05927] unto thee burnt sacrifices [05930] of fatlings [04220], with the incense [07004] of rams [0352]; I will offer [06213] bullocks [01241] with goats [06260]. Selah [05542]. 19 66 16 Come [03212] and hear [08085], all ye that fear [03373] God [0430], and I will declare [05608] what he hath done [06213] for my soul [05315]. 19 66 17 I cried [07121] unto him with my mouth [06310], and he was extolled [07311] [07318] with [08478] my tongue [03956]. 19 66 18 If I regard [07200] iniquity [0205] in my heart [03820], the Lord [0136] will not hear [08085] me: 19 66 19 But verily [0403] God [0430] hath heard [08085] me; he hath attended [07181] to the voice [06963] of my prayer [08605]. 19 66 20 Blessed [01288] be God [0430], which hath not turned away [05493] my prayer [08605], nor his mercy [02617] from me. 19 67 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892]. God [0430] be merciful [02603] unto us, and bless [01288] us; and cause his face [06440] to shine [0215] upon us; Selah [05542]. 19 67 2 That thy way [01870] may be known [03045] upon earth [0776], thy saving health [03444] among all nations [01471]. 19 67 3 Let the people [05971] praise [03034] thee, O God [0430]; let all the people [05971] praise [03034] thee. 19 67 4 O let the nations [03816] be glad [08055] and sing for joy [07442]: for thou shalt judge [08199] the people [05971] righteously [04334], and govern [05148] the nations [03816] upon earth [0776]. Selah [05542]. 19 67 5 Let the people [05971] praise [03034] thee, O God [0430]; let all the people [05971] praise [03034] thee. 19 67 6 Then shall the earth [0776] yield [05414] her increase [02981]; and God [0430], even our own God [0430], shall bless [01288] us. 19 67 7 God [0430] shall bless [01288] us; and all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776] shall fear [03372] him. 19 68 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892] of David [01732]. Let God [0430] arise [06965], let his enemies [0341] be scattered [06327]: let them also that hate [08130] him flee [05127] before [06440] him. 19 68 2 As smoke [06227] is driven away [05086], so drive them away [05086]: as wax [01749] melteth [04549] before [06440] the fire [0784], so let the wicked [07563] perish [06] at the presence [06440] of God [0430]. 19 68 3 But let the righteous [06662] be glad [08055]; let them rejoice [05970] before [06440] God [0430]: yea, let them exceedingly [08057] rejoice [07797]. 19 68 4 Sing [07891] unto God [0430], sing praises [02167] to his name [08034]: extol [05549] him that rideth [07392] upon the heavens [06160] by his name [08034] JAH [03050], and rejoice [05937] before [06440] him. 19 68 5 A father [01] of the fatherless [03490], and a judge [01781] of the widows [0490], is God [0430] in his holy [06944] habitation [04583]. 19 68 6 God [0430] setteth [03427] the solitary [03173] in families [01004]: he bringeth out [03318] those which are bound [0615] with chains [03574]: but the rebellious [05637] dwell [07931] in a dry [06707] land. 19 68 7 O God [0430], when thou wentest forth [03318] before [06440] thy people [05971], when thou didst march [06805] through the wilderness [03452]; Selah [05542]: 19 68 8 The earth [0776] shook [07493], the heavens [08064] also dropped [05197] at the presence [06440] of God [0430]: even Sinai [05514] itself [02088] was moved at the presence [06440] of God [0430], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 19 68 9 Thou, O God [0430], didst send [05130] a plentiful [05071] rain [01653], whereby thou didst confirm [03559] thine inheritance [05159], when it was weary [03811]. 19 68 10 Thy congregation [02416] hath dwelt [03427] therein: thou, O God [0430], hast prepared [03559] of thy goodness [02896] for the poor [06041]. 19 68 11 The Lord [0136] gave [05414] the word [0562]: great [07227] was the company [06635] of those that published [01319] it. 19 68 12 Kings [04428] of armies [06635] did flee [05074] apace [05074]: and she that tarried [05116] at home [01004] divided [02505] the spoil [07998]. 19 68 13 Though ye have lien [07901] among the pots [08240], yet shall ye be as the wings [03671] of a dove [03123] covered [02645] with silver [03701], and her feathers [084] with yellow [03422] gold [02742]. 19 68 14 When the Almighty [07706] scattered [06566] kings [04428] in it, it was white as snow [07949] in Salmon [06756]. 19 68 15 The hill [02022] of God [0430] is as the hill [02022] of Bashan [01316]; an high [01386] hill [02022] as the hill [02022] of Bashan [01316]. 19 68 16 Why leap [07520] ye, ye high [01386] hills [02022]? this is the hill [02022] which God [0430] desireth [02530] to dwell in [03427]; yea, the LORD [03068] will dwell [07931] in it for ever [05331]. 19 68 17 The chariots [07393] of God [0430] are twenty thousand [07239], even thousands [0505] of angels [08136]: the Lord [0136] is among them, as in Sinai [05514], in the holy [06944] place. 19 68 18 Thou hast ascended [05927] on high [04791], thou hast led captivity [07628] captive [07617]: thou hast received [03947] gifts [04979] for men [0120]; yea, for the rebellious [05637] also, that the LORD [03050] God [0430] might dwell [07931] among them. 19 68 19 Blessed [01288] be the Lord [0136], who daily [03117] [03117] loadeth [06006] us with benefits, even the God [0410] of our salvation [03444]. Selah [05542]. 19 68 20 He that is our God [0410] is the God [0410] of salvation [04190]; and unto GOD [03069] the Lord [0136] belong the issues [08444] from death [04194]. 19 68 21 But God [0430] shall wound [04272] the head [07218] of his enemies [0341], and the hairy [08181] scalp [06936] of such an one as goeth on still [01980] in his trespasses [0817]. 19 68 22 The Lord [0136] said [0559], I will bring again [07725] from Bashan [01316], I will bring my people again [07725] from the depths [04688] of the sea [03220]: 19 68 23 That thy foot [07272] may be dipped [04272] in the blood [01818] of thine enemies [0341], and the tongue [03956] of thy dogs [03611] in the same. 19 68 24 They have seen [07200] thy goings [01979], O God [0430]; even the goings [01979] of my God [0410], my King [04428], in the sanctuary [06944]. 19 68 25 The singers [07891] went before [06923], the players on instruments [05059] followed after [0310]; among [08432] them were the damsels [05959] playing with timbrels [08608]. 19 68 26 Bless [01288] ye God [0430] in the congregations [04721], even the Lord [0136], from the fountain [04726] of Israel [03478]. 19 68 27 There is little [06810] Benjamin [01144] with their ruler [07287], the princes [08269] of Judah [03063] and their council [07277], the princes [08269] of Zebulun [02074], and the princes [08269] of Naphtali [05321]. 19 68 28 Thy God [0430] hath commanded [06680] thy strength [05797]: strengthen [05810], O God [0430], that which [02098] thou hast wrought [06466] for us. 19 68 29 Because of thy temple [01964] at Jerusalem [03389] shall kings [04428] bring [02986] presents [07862] unto thee. 19 68 30 Rebuke [01605] the company [02416] of spearmen [07070], the multitude [05712] of the bulls [047], with the calves [05695] of the people [05971], till every one submit [07511] himself with pieces [07518] of silver [03701]: scatter [0967] thou the people [05971] that delight [02654] in war [07128]. 19 68 31 Princes [02831] shall come out [0857] of Egypt [04714]; Ethiopia [03568] shall soon stretch out [07323] her hands [03027] unto God [0430]. 19 68 32 Sing [07891] unto God [0430], ye kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]; O sing praises [02167] unto the Lord [0136]; Selah [05542]: 19 68 33 To him that rideth [07392] upon the heavens [08064] of heavens [08064], which were of old [06924]; lo, he doth send out [05414] his voice [06963], and that a mighty [05797] voice [06963]. 19 68 34 Ascribe [05414] ye strength [05797] unto God [0430]: his excellency [01346] is over Israel [03478], and his strength [05797] is in the clouds [07834]. 19 68 35 O God [0430], thou art terrible [03372] out of thy holy places [04720]: the God [0410] of Israel [03478] is he that giveth [05414] strength [05797] and power [08592] unto his people [05971]. Blessed [01288] be God [0430]. 19 69 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Shoshannim [07799], A Psalm of David [01732]. Save [03467] me, O God [0430]; for the waters [04325] are come [0935] in unto my soul [05315]. 19 69 2 I sink [02883] in deep [04688] mire [03121], where there is no standing [04613]: I am come [0935] into deep [04615] waters [04325], where the floods [07641] overflow [07857] me. 19 69 3 I am weary [03021] of my crying [07121]: my throat [01627] is dried [02787]: mine eyes [05869] fail [03615] while I wait [03176] for my God [0430]. 19 69 4 They that hate [08130] me without a cause [02600] are more [07231] than the hairs [08185] of mine head [07218]: they that would destroy [06789] me, being mine enemies [0341] wrongfully [08267], are mighty [06105]: then I restored [07725] that which I took not away [01497]. 19 69 5 O God [0430], thou knowest [03045] my foolishness [0200]; and my sins [0819] are not hid [03582] from thee. 19 69 6 Let not them that wait [06960] on thee, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], be ashamed [0954] for my sake: let not those that seek [01245] thee be confounded [03637] for my sake, O God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 19 69 7 Because for thy sake I have borne [05375] reproach [02781]; shame [03639] hath covered [03680] my face [06440]. 19 69 8 I am become a stranger [02114] unto my brethren [0251], and an alien [05237] unto my mother's [0517] children [01121]. 19 69 9 For the zeal [07068] of thine house [01004] hath eaten me up [0398]; and the reproaches [02781] of them that reproached [02778] thee are fallen [05307] upon me. 19 69 10 When I wept [01058], and chastened my soul [05315] with fasting [06685], that was to my reproach [02781]. 19 69 11 I made [05414] sackcloth [08242] also my garment [03830]; and I became a proverb [04912] to them. 19 69 12 They that sit in [03427] the gate [08179] speak [07878] against me; and I was the song [05058] of the drunkards [08354] [07941]. 19 69 13 But as for me, my prayer [08605] is unto thee, O LORD [03068], in an acceptable [07522] time [06256]: O God [0430], in the multitude [07230] of thy mercy [02617] hear [06030] me, in the truth [0571] of thy salvation [03468]. 19 69 14 Deliver [05337] me out of the mire [02916], and let me not sink [02883]: let me be delivered [05337] from them that hate [08130] me, and out of the deep [04615] waters [04325]. 19 69 15 Let not the waterflood [04325] [07641] overflow [07857] me, neither let the deep [04688] swallow me up [01104], and let not the pit [0875] shut [0332] her mouth [06310] upon me. 19 69 16 Hear [06030] me, O LORD [03068]; for thy lovingkindness [02617] is good [02896]: turn [06437] unto me according to the multitude [07230] of thy tender mercies [07356]. 19 69 17 And hide [05641] not thy face [06440] from thy servant [05650]; for I am in trouble [06887]: hear [06030] me speedily [04118]. 19 69 18 Draw nigh [07126] unto my soul [05315], and redeem [01350] it: deliver [06299] me because of mine enemies [0341]. 19 69 19 Thou hast known [03045] my reproach [02781], and my shame [01322], and my dishonour [03639]: mine adversaries [06887] are all before thee. 19 69 20 Reproach [02781] hath broken [07665] my heart [03820]; and I am full of heaviness [05136]: and I looked [06960] for some to take pity [05110], but there was none; and for comforters [05162], but I found [04672] none. 19 69 21 They gave [05414] me also gall [07219] for my meat [01267]; and in my thirst [06772] they gave me vinegar [02558] to drink [08248]. 19 69 22 Let their table [07979] become a snare [06341] before [06440] them: and that which should have been for their welfare [07965], let it become a trap [04170]. 19 69 23 Let their eyes [05869] be darkened [02821], that they see [07200] not; and make their loins [04975] continually [08548] to shake [04571]. 19 69 24 Pour out [08210] thine indignation [02195] upon them, and let thy wrathful [02740] anger [0639] take hold [05381] of them. 19 69 25 Let their habitation [02918] be desolate [08074]; and let none dwell [03427] in their tents [0168]. 19 69 26 For they persecute [07291] him whom thou hast smitten [05221]; and they talk [05608] to the grief [04341] of those whom thou hast wounded [02491]. 19 69 27 Add [05414] iniquity [05771] unto their iniquity [05771]: and let them not come [0935] into thy righteousness [06666]. 19 69 28 Let them be blotted [04229] out of the book [05612] of the living [02416], and not be written [03789] with the righteous [06662]. 19 69 29 But I am poor [06041] and sorrowful [03510]: let thy salvation [03444], O God [0430], set me up on high [07682]. 19 69 30 I will praise [01984] the name [08034] of God [0430] with a song [07892], and will magnify [01431] him with thanksgiving [08426]. 19 69 31 This also shall please [03190] the LORD [03068] better [03190] than an ox [07794] or bullock [06499] that hath horns [07160] and hoofs [06536]. 19 69 32 The humble [06035] shall see [07200] this, and be glad [08055]: and your heart [03824] shall live [02421] that seek [01875] God [0430]. 19 69 33 For the LORD [03068] heareth [08085] the poor [034], and despiseth [0959] not his prisoners [0615]. 19 69 34 Let the heaven [08064] and earth [0776] praise [01984] him, the seas [03220], and every thing that moveth [07430] therein. 19 69 35 For God [0430] will save [03467] Zion [06726], and will build [01129] the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]: that they may dwell [03427] there, and have it in possession [03423]. 19 69 36 The seed [02233] also of his servants [05650] shall inherit [05157] it: and they that love [0157] his name [08034] shall dwell [07931] therein. 19 70 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm of David [01732], to bring to remembrance [02142]. Make haste, O God [0430], to deliver [05337] me; make haste [02363] to help [05833] me, O LORD [03068]. 19 70 2 Let them be ashamed [0954] and confounded [02659] that seek [01245] after my soul [05315]: let them be turned [05472] backward [0268], and put to confusion [03637], that desire [02655] my hurt [07451]. 19 70 3 Let them be turned back [07725] for a reward [06118] of their shame [01322] that say [0559], Aha [01889], aha [01889]. 19 70 4 Let all those that seek [01245] thee rejoice [07797] and be glad [08055] in thee: and let such as love [0157] thy salvation [03444] say [0559] continually [08548], Let God [0430] be magnified [01431]. 19 70 5 But I am poor [06041] and needy [034]: make haste [02363] unto me, O God [0430]: thou art my help [05828] and my deliverer [06403]; O LORD [03068], make no tarrying [0309]. 19 71 1 In thee, O LORD [03068], do I put my trust [02620]: let me never [0408] [05769] be put to confusion [0954]. 19 71 2 Deliver [05337] me in thy righteousness [06666], and cause me to escape [06403]: incline [05186] thine ear [0241] unto me, and save [03467] me. 19 71 3 Be thou my strong [06697] habitation [04583], whereunto I may continually [08548] resort [0935]: thou hast given commandment [06680] to save [03467] me; for thou art my rock [05553] and my fortress [04686]. 19 71 4 Deliver [06403] me, O my God [0430], out of the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563], out of the hand [03709] of the unrighteous [05765] and cruel man [02556]. 19 71 5 For thou art my hope [08615], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: thou art my trust [04009] from my youth [05271]. 19 71 6 By thee have I been holden up [05564] from the womb [0990]: thou art he that took [01491] me out of my mother's [0517] bowels [04578]: my praise [08416] shall be continually [08548] of thee. 19 71 7 I am as a wonder [04159] unto many [07227]; but thou art my strong [05797] refuge [04268]. 19 71 8 Let my mouth [06310] be filled [04390] with thy praise [08416] and with thy honour [08597] all the day [03117]. 19 71 9 Cast me not off [07993] in the time [06256] of old age [02209]; forsake [05800] me not when my strength [03581] faileth [03615]. 19 71 10 For mine enemies [0341] speak [0559] against me; and they that lay wait [08104] for my soul [05315] take counsel [03289] together [03162], 19 71 11 Saying [0559], God [0430] hath forsaken [05800] him: persecute [07291] and take [08610] him; for there is none to deliver [05337] him. 19 71 12 O God [0430], be not far [07368] from me: O my God [0430], make haste [02363] [02439] for my help [05833]. 19 71 13 Let them be confounded [0954] and consumed [03615] that are adversaries [07853] to my soul [05315]; let them be covered [05844] with reproach [02781] and dishonour [03639] that seek [01245] my hurt [07451]. 19 71 14 But I will hope [03176] continually [08548], and will yet praise [08416] thee more [03254] and more [03254]. 19 71 15 My mouth [06310] shall shew forth [05608] thy righteousness [06666] and thy salvation [08668] all the day [03117]; for I know [03045] not the numbers [05615] thereof. 19 71 16 I will go in [0935] the strength [01369] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: I will make mention [02142] of thy righteousness [06666], even of thine only. 19 71 17 O God [0430], thou hast taught [03925] me from my youth [05271]: and hitherto have I declared [05046] thy wondrous works [06381]. 19 71 18 Now also when [05704] I am old [02209] and grayheaded [07872], O God [0430], forsake [05800] me not; until I have shewed [05046] thy strength [02220] unto this generation [01755], and thy power [01369] to every one that is to come [0935]. 19 71 19 Thy righteousness [06666] also, O God [0430], is very high [04791], who hast done [06213] great things [01419]: O God [0430], who is like unto thee! 19 71 20 Thou, which hast shewed [07200] me great [07227] and sore [07451] troubles [06869], shalt quicken [02421] me again [07725], and shalt bring me up [05927] again [07725] from the depths [08415] of the earth [0776]. 19 71 21 Thou shalt increase [07235] my greatness [01420], and comfort [05162] me on every side [05437]. 19 71 22 I will also praise [03034] thee with the psaltery [03627] [05035], even thy truth [0571], O my God [0430]: unto thee will I sing [02167] with the harp [03658], O thou Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 19 71 23 My lips [08193] shall greatly rejoice [07442] when I sing [02167] unto thee; and my soul [05315], which thou hast redeemed [06299]. 19 71 24 My tongue [03956] also shall talk [01897] of thy righteousness [06666] all the day [03117] long: for they are confounded [0954], for they are brought unto shame [02659], that seek [01245] my hurt [07451]. 19 72 1 A Psalm for Solomon [08010]. Give [05414] the king [04428] thy judgments [04941], O God [0430], and thy righteousness [06666] unto the king's [04428] son [01121]. 19 72 2 He shall judge [01777] thy people [05971] with righteousness [06664], and thy poor [06041] with judgment [04941]. 19 72 3 The mountains [02022] shall bring [05375] peace [07965] to the people [05971], and the little hills [01389], by righteousness [06666]. 19 72 4 He shall judge [08199] the poor [06041] of the people [05971], he shall save [03467] the children [01121] of the needy [034], and shall break in pieces [01792] the oppressor [06231]. 19 72 5 They shall fear [03372] thee as long as [05973] the sun [08121] and moon [03394] endure [06440], throughout all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 72 6 He shall come down [03381] like rain [04306] upon the mown [01488] grass: as showers [07241] that water [02222] the earth [0776]. 19 72 7 In his days [03117] shall the righteous [06662] flourish [06524]; and abundance [07230] of peace [07965] so long as the moon [03394] endureth. 19 72 8 He shall have dominion [07287] also from sea [03220] to sea [03220], and from the river [05104] unto the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]. 19 72 9 They that dwell in the wilderness [06728] shall bow [03766] before [06440] him; and his enemies [0341] shall lick [03897] the dust [06083]. 19 72 10 The kings [04428] of Tarshish [08659] and of the isles [0339] shall bring [07725] presents [04503]: the kings [04428] of Sheba [07614] and Seba [05434] shall offer [07126] gifts [0814]. 19 72 11 Yea, all kings [04428] shall fall down [07812] before him: all nations [01471] shall serve [05647] him. 19 72 12 For he shall deliver [05337] the needy [034] when he crieth [07768]; the poor [06041] also, and him that hath no helper [05826]. 19 72 13 He shall spare [02347] the poor [01800] and needy [034], and shall save [03467] the souls [05315] of the needy [034]. 19 72 14 He shall redeem [01350] their soul [05315] from deceit [08496] and violence [02555]: and precious [03365] shall their blood [01818] be in his sight [05869]. 19 72 15 And he shall live [02421], and to him shall be given [05414] of the gold [02091] of Sheba [07614]: prayer also shall be made [06419] for him continually [08548]; and daily [03117] shall he be praised [01288]. 19 72 16 There shall be an handful [06451] of corn [01250] in the earth [0776] upon the top [07218] of the mountains [02022]; the fruit [06529] thereof shall shake [07493] like Lebanon [03844]: and they of the city [05892] shall flourish [06692] like grass [06212] of the earth [0776]. 19 72 17 His name [08034] shall endure for ever [05769]: his name [08034] shall be continued [05125] [05125] as long as [06440] the sun [08121]: and men shall be blessed [01288] in him: all nations [01471] shall call him blessed [0833]. 19 72 18 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], who only doeth [06213] wondrous things [06381]. 19 72 19 And blessed [01288] be his glorious [03519] name [08034] for ever [05769]: and let the whole earth [0776] be filled [04390] with his glory [03519]; Amen [0543], and Amen [0543]. 19 72 20 The prayers [08605] of David [01732] the son [01121] of Jesse [03448] are ended [03615]. 19 73 1 A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. Truly God [0430] is good [02896] to Israel [03478], even to such as are of a clean [01249] heart [03824]. 19 73 2 But as for me, my feet [07272] were almost [04592] gone [05186] [05186]; my steps [0838] had well nigh [0369] slipped [08210]. 19 73 3 For I was envious [07065] at the foolish [01984], when I saw [07200] the prosperity [07965] of the wicked [07563]. 19 73 4 For there are no bands [02784] in their death [04194]: but their strength [0193] is firm [01277]. 19 73 5 They are not in trouble [05999] as other men [0582]; neither are they plagued [05060] like [05973] other men [0120]. 19 73 6 Therefore pride [01346] compasseth them about as a chain [06059]; violence [02555] covereth [05848] them as a garment [07897]. 19 73 7 Their eyes [05869] stand out [03318] with fatness [02459]: they have more [05674] than heart [03824] could wish [04906]. 19 73 8 They are corrupt [04167], and speak [01696] wickedly [07451] concerning oppression [06233]: they speak [01696] loftily [04791]. 19 73 9 They set [08371] their mouth [06310] against the heavens [08064], and their tongue [03956] walketh [01980] through the earth [0776]. 19 73 10 Therefore his people [05971] return [07725] [07725] hither [01988]: and waters [04325] of a full [04392] cup are wrung out [04680] to them. 19 73 11 And they say [0559], How doth God [0410] know [03045]? and is there [03426] knowledge [01844] in the most High [05945]? 19 73 12 Behold, these are the ungodly [07563], who prosper [07961] in the world [05769]; they increase [07685] in riches [02428]. 19 73 13 Verily I have cleansed [02135] my heart [03824] in vain [07385], and washed [07364] my hands [03709] in innocency [05356]. 19 73 14 For all the day [03117] long have I been plagued [05060], and chastened [08433] every morning [01242]. 19 73 15 If I say [0559], I will speak [05608] thus [03644]; behold, I should offend [0898] against the generation [01755] of thy children [01121]. 19 73 16 When I thought [02803] to know [03045] this, it was too painful [05999] for me [05869]; 19 73 17 Until I went [0935] into the sanctuary [04720] of God [0410]; then understood [0995] I their end [0319]. 19 73 18 Surely thou didst set [07896] them in slippery places [02513]: thou castedst them down [05307] into destruction [04876]. 19 73 19 How are they brought into desolation [08047], as in a moment [07281]! they are utterly [05486] consumed [08552] with terrors [01091]. 19 73 20 As a dream [02472] when one awaketh [06974]; so, O Lord [0136], when thou awakest [05782], thou shalt despise [0959] their image [06754]. 19 73 21 Thus my heart [03824] was grieved [02556], and I was pricked [08150] in my reins [03629]. 19 73 22 So foolish [01198] was I, and ignorant [03045]: I was as a beast [0929] before thee. 19 73 23 Nevertheless I am continually [08548] with thee: thou hast holden [0270] me by my right [03225] hand [03027]. 19 73 24 Thou shalt guide [05148] me with thy counsel [06098], and afterward [0310] receive [03947] me to glory [03519]. 19 73 25 Whom have I in heaven [08064] but thee? and there is none upon earth [0776] that I desire [02654] beside thee. 19 73 26 My flesh [07607] and my heart [03824] faileth [03615]: but God [0430] is the strength [06697] of my heart [03824], and my portion [02506] for ever [05769]. 19 73 27 For, lo, they that are far [07369] from thee shall perish [06]: thou hast destroyed [06789] all them that go a whoring [02181] from thee. 19 73 28 But [0589] it is good [02896] for me to draw near [07132] to God [0430]: I have put [07896] my trust [04268] in the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I may declare [05608] all thy works [04399]. 19 74 1 Maschil [04905] of Asaph [0623]. O God [0430], why hast thou cast us off [02186] for ever [05331]? why doth thine anger [0639] smoke [06225] against the sheep [06629] of thy pasture [04830]? 19 74 2 Remember [02142] thy congregation [05712], which thou hast purchased [07069] of old [06924]; the rod [07626] of thine inheritance [05159], which thou hast redeemed [01350]; this mount [02022] Zion [06726], wherein thou hast dwelt [07931]. 19 74 3 Lift up [07311] thy feet [06471] unto the perpetual [05331] desolations [04876]; even all that the enemy [0341] hath done wickedly [07489] in the sanctuary [06944]. 19 74 4 Thine enemies [06887] roar [07580] in the midst [07130] of thy congregations [04150]; they set up [07760] their ensigns [0226] for signs [0226]. 19 74 5 A man was famous [03045] according as he had lifted up [0935] [04605] axes [07134] upon the thick [05442] trees [06086]. 19 74 6 But now they break down [01986] the carved work [06603] thereof at once [03162] with axes [03781] and hammers [03597]. 19 74 7 They have cast [07971] fire [0784] into thy sanctuary [04720], they have defiled [02490] by casting down the dwelling place [04908] of thy name [08034] to the ground [0776]. 19 74 8 They said [0559] in their hearts [03820], Let us destroy [03238] them together [03162]: they have burned up [08313] all the synagogues [04150] of God [0410] in the land [0776]. 19 74 9 We see [07200] not our signs [0226]: there is no more any prophet [05030]: neither is there among us any that knoweth [03045] how long [05704]. 19 74 10 O God [0430], how long shall the adversary [06862] reproach [02778]? shall the enemy [0341] blaspheme [05006] thy name [08034] for ever [05331]? 19 74 11 Why withdrawest [07725] thou thy hand [03027], even thy right hand [03225]? pluck [03615] it out of [07130] thy bosom [02436] [02436]. 19 74 12 For God [0430] is my King [04428] of old [06924], working [06466] salvation [03444] in the midst [07130] of the earth [0776]. 19 74 13 Thou didst divide [06565] the sea [03220] by thy strength [05797]: thou brakest [07665] the heads [07218] of the dragons [08577] in the waters [04325]. 19 74 14 Thou brakest [07533] the heads [07218] of leviathan [03882] in pieces, and gavest [05414] him to be meat [03978] to the people [05971] inhabiting the wilderness [06728]. 19 74 15 Thou didst cleave [01234] the fountain [04599] and the flood [05158]: thou driedst up [03001] mighty [0386] rivers [05104]. 19 74 16 The day [03117] is thine, the night [03915] also is thine: thou hast prepared [03559] the light [03974] and the sun [08121]. 19 74 17 Thou hast set [05324] all the borders [01367] of the earth [0776]: thou hast made [03335] summer [07019] and winter [02779]. 19 74 18 Remember [02142] this, that the enemy [0341] hath reproached [02778], O LORD [03068], and that the foolish [05036] people [05971] have blasphemed [05006] thy name [08034]. 19 74 19 O deliver [05414] not the soul [05315] of thy turtledove [08449] unto the multitude [02416] of the wicked: forget [07911] not the congregation [02416] of thy poor [06041] for ever [05331]. 19 74 20 Have respect [05027] unto the covenant [01285]: for the dark [04285] places of the earth [0776] are full [04390] of the habitations [04999] of cruelty [02555]. 19 74 21 O let not the oppressed [01790] return [07725] ashamed [03637]: let the poor [06041] and needy [034] praise [01984] thy name [08034]. 19 74 22 Arise [06965], O God [0430], plead [07378] thine own cause [07379]: remember [02142] how the foolish man [05036] reproacheth [02781] thee daily [03117]. 19 74 23 Forget [07911] not the voice [06963] of thine enemies [06887]: the tumult [07588] of those that rise up [06965] against thee increaseth [05927] continually [08548]. 19 75 1 To the chief Musician [05329], Altaschith [0516], A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892] of Asaph [0623]. Unto thee, O God [0430], do we give thanks [03034], unto thee do we give thanks [03034]: for that thy name [08034] is near [07138] thy wondrous works [06381] declare [05608]. 19 75 2 When I shall receive [03947] the congregation [04150] I will judge [08199] uprightly [04339]. 19 75 3 The earth [0776] and all the inhabitants [03427] thereof are dissolved [04127]: I bear up [08505] the pillars [05982] of it. Selah [05542]. 19 75 4 I said [0559] unto the fools [01984], Deal not foolishly [01984]: and to the wicked [07563], Lift not up [07311] the horn [07161]: 19 75 5 Lift not up [07311] your horn [07161] on high [04791]: speak [01696] not with a stiff [06277] neck [06677]. 19 75 6 For promotion [07311] [02022] cometh neither from the east [04161], nor from the west [04628], nor from the south [04057]. 19 75 7 But God [0430] is the judge [08199]: he putteth down [08213] one, and setteth up [07311] another. 19 75 8 For in the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] there is a cup [03563], and the wine [03196] is red [02560]; it is full [04392] of mixture [04538]; and he poureth out [05064] of the same [02088]: but the dregs [08105] thereof, all the wicked [07563] of the earth [0776] shall wring them out [04680], and drink [08354] them. 19 75 9 But I will declare [05046] for ever [05769]; I will sing praises [02167] to the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. 19 75 10 All the horns [07161] of the wicked [07563] also will I cut off [01438]; but the horns [07161] of the righteous [06662] shall be exalted [07311]. 19 76 1 To the chief Musician [05329] on Neginoth [05058], A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892] of Asaph [0623]. In Judah [03063] is God [0430] known [03045]: his name [08034] is great [01419] in Israel [03478]. 19 76 2 In Salem [08004] also is his tabernacle [05520], and his dwelling place [04585] in Zion [06726]. 19 76 3 There brake [07665] he the arrows [07565] of the bow [07198], the shield [04043], and the sword [02719], and the battle [04421]. Selah [05542]. 19 76 4 Thou art more glorious [0215] and excellent [0117] than the mountains [02042] of prey [02964]. 19 76 5 The stouthearted [047] [03820] are spoiled [07997], they have slept [05123] their sleep [08142]: and none of the men [0582] of might [02428] have found [04672] their hands [03027]. 19 76 6 At thy rebuke [01606], O God [0430] of Jacob [03290], both the chariot [07393] and horse [05483] are cast into a dead sleep [07290]. 19 76 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared [03372]: and who may stand [05975] in thy sight [06440] when [0227] once thou art angry [0639]? 19 76 8 Thou didst cause judgment [01779] to be heard [08085] from heaven [08064]; the earth [0776] feared [03372], and was still [08252], 19 76 9 When God [0430] arose [06965] to judgment [04941], to save [03467] all the meek [06035] of the earth [0776]. Selah [05542]. 19 76 10 Surely the wrath [02534] of man [0120] shall praise [03034] thee: the remainder [07611] of wrath [02534] shalt thou restrain [02296]. 19 76 11 Vow [05087], and pay [07999] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: let all that be round about [05439] him bring [02986] presents [07862] unto him that ought to be feared [04172]. 19 76 12 He shall cut off [01219] the spirit [07307] of princes [05057]: he is terrible [03372] to the kings [04428] of the earth [0776]. 19 77 1 To the chief Musician [05329], to Jeduthun [03038], A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. I cried [06817] unto God [0430] with my voice [06963], even unto God [0430] with my voice [06963]; and he gave ear [0238] unto me. 19 77 2 In the day [03117] of my trouble [06869] I sought [01875] the Lord [0136]: my sore [03027] ran [05064] in the night [03915], and ceased [06313] not: my soul [05315] refused [03985] to be comforted [05162]. 19 77 3 I remembered [02142] God [0430], and was troubled [01993]: I complained [07878], and my spirit [07307] was overwhelmed [05848]. Selah [05542]. 19 77 4 Thou holdest [0270] mine eyes [05869] waking [08109]: I am so troubled [06470] that I cannot speak [01696]. 19 77 5 I have considered [02803] the days [03117] of old [06924], the years [08141] of ancient times [05769]. 19 77 6 I call to remembrance [02142] my song [05058] in the night [03915]: I commune [07878] with mine own heart [03824]: and my spirit [07307] made diligent search [02664]. 19 77 7 Will the Lord [0136] cast off [02186] for ever [05769]? and will [03254] he be favourable [07521] no more? 19 77 8 Is his mercy [02617] clean gone [0656] for ever [05331]? doth his promise [0562] fail [01584] for evermore [01755] [01755]? 19 77 9 Hath God [0410] forgotten [07911] to be gracious [02589]? hath he in anger [0639] shut up [07092] his tender mercies [07356]? Selah [05542]. 19 77 10 And I said [0559], This is my infirmity [02470]: but I will remember the years [08141] of the right hand [03225] of the most High [05945]. 19 77 11 I will remember [02142] [02142] the works [04611] of the LORD [03050]: surely I will remember [02142] thy wonders [06382] of old [06924]. 19 77 12 I will meditate [01897] also of all thy work [06467], and talk [07878] of thy doings [05949]. 19 77 13 Thy way [01870], O God [0430], is in the sanctuary [06944]: who is so great [01419] a God [0410] as our God [0430]? 19 77 14 Thou art the God [0410] that doest [06213] wonders [06382]: thou hast declared [03045] thy strength [05797] among the people [05971]. 19 77 15 Thou hast with thine arm [02220] redeemed [01350] thy people [05971], the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] and Joseph [03130]. Selah [05542]. 19 77 16 The waters [04325] saw [07200] thee, O God [0430], the waters [04325] saw [07200] thee; they were afraid [02342]: the depths [08415] also were troubled [07264]. 19 77 17 The clouds [05645] poured out [02229] water [04325]: the skies [07834] sent out [05414] a sound [06963]: thine arrows [02687] also went abroad [01980]. 19 77 18 The voice [06963] of thy thunder [07482] was in the heaven [01534]: the lightnings [01300] lightened [0215] the world [08398]: the earth [0776] trembled [07264] and shook [07493]. 19 77 19 Thy way [01870] is in the sea [03220], and thy path [07635] in the great [07227] waters [04325], and thy footsteps [06119] are not known [03045]. 19 77 20 Thou leddest [05148] thy people [05971] like a flock [06629] by the hand [03027] of Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175]. 19 78 1 Maschil [04905] of Asaph [0623]. Give ear [0238], O my people [05971], to my law [08451]: incline [05186] your ears [0241] to the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 19 78 2 I will open [06605] my mouth [06310] in a parable [04912]: I will utter [05042] dark sayings [02420] of old [06924]: 19 78 3 Which we have heard [08085] and known [03045], and our fathers [01] have told [05608] us. 19 78 4 We will not hide [03582] them from their children [01121], shewing [05608] to the generation [01755] to come [0314] the praises [08416] of the LORD [03068], and his strength [05807], and his wonderful works [06381] that he hath done [06213]. 19 78 5 For he established [06965] a testimony [05715] in Jacob [03290], and appointed [07760] a law [08451] in Israel [03478], which he commanded [06680] our fathers [01], that they should make them known [03045] to their children [01121]: 19 78 6 That the generation [01755] to come [0314] might know [03045] them, even the children [01121] which should be born [03205]; who should arise [06965] and declare [05608] them to their children [01121]: 19 78 7 That they might set [07760] their hope [03689] in God [0430], and not forget [07911] the works [04611] of God [0410], but keep [05341] his commandments [04687]: 19 78 8 And might not be as their fathers [01], a stubborn [05637] and rebellious [04784] generation [01755]; a generation [01755] that set [03559] not their heart [03820] aright [03559], and whose spirit [07307] was not stedfast [0539] with God [0410]. 19 78 9 The children [01121] of Ephraim [0669], being armed [05401], and carrying [07411] bows [07198], turned back [02015] in the day [03117] of battle [07128]. 19 78 10 They kept [08104] not the covenant [01285] of God [0430], and refused [03985] to walk [03212] in his law [08451]; 19 78 11 And forgat [07911] his works [05949], and his wonders [06381] that he had shewed [07200] them. 19 78 12 Marvellous things [06382] did [06213] he in the sight [05048] of their fathers [01], in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in the field [07704] of Zoan [06814]. 19 78 13 He divided [01234] the sea [03220], and caused them to pass through [05674]; and he made the waters [04325] to stand [05324] as an heap [05067]. 19 78 14 In the daytime [03119] also he led [05148] them with a cloud [06051], and all the night [03915] with a light [0216] of fire [0784]. 19 78 15 He clave [01234] the rocks [06697] in the wilderness [04057], and gave them drink [08248] as out of the great [07227] depths [08415]. 19 78 16 He brought [03318] streams [05140] also out of the rock [05553], and caused waters [04325] to run down [03381] like rivers [05104]. 19 78 17 And they sinned [02398] yet more [03254] against him by provoking [04784] the most High [05945] in the wilderness [06723]. 19 78 18 And they tempted [05254] God [0410] in their heart [03824] by asking [07592] meat [0400] for their lust [05315]. 19 78 19 Yea, they spake [01696] against God [0430]; they said [0559], Can [03201] God [0410] furnish [06186] a table [07979] in the wilderness [04057]? 19 78 20 Behold, he smote [05221] the rock [06697], that the waters [04325] gushed out [02100], and the streams [05158] overflowed [07857]; can [03201] he give [05414] bread [03899] also? can [03201] he provide [03559] flesh [07607] for his people [05971]? 19 78 21 Therefore the LORD [03068] heard [08085] this, and was wroth [05674]: so a fire [0784] was kindled [05400] against Jacob [03290], and anger [0639] also came up [05927] against Israel [03478]; 19 78 22 Because they believed [0539] not in God [0430], and trusted [0982] not in his salvation [03444]: 19 78 23 Though he had commanded [06680] the clouds [07834] from above [04605], and opened [06605] the doors [01817] of heaven [08064], 19 78 24 And had rained down [04305] manna [04478] upon them to eat [0398], and had given [05414] them of the corn [01715] of heaven [08064]. 19 78 25 Man [0376] did eat [0398] angels [047]' food [03899]: he sent [07971] them meat [06720] to the full [07648]. 19 78 26 He caused an east wind [06921] to blow [05265] in the heaven [08064]: and by his power [05797] he brought in [05090] the south wind [08486]. 19 78 27 He rained [04305] flesh [07607] also upon them as dust [06083], and feathered [03671] fowls [05775] like as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220]: 19 78 28 And he let it fall [05307] in the midst [07130] of their camp [04264], round about [05439] their habitations [04908]. 19 78 29 So they did eat [0398], and were well [03966] filled [07646]: for he gave [0935] them their own desire [08378]; 19 78 30 They were not estranged [02114] from their lust [08378]. But while their meat [0400] was yet in their mouths [06310], 19 78 31 The wrath [0639] of God [0430] came [05927] upon them, and slew [02026] the fattest [04924] of them, and smote down [03766] the chosen [0970] men of Israel [03478]. 19 78 32 For all this they sinned [02398] still, and believed [0539] not for his wondrous works [06381]. 19 78 33 Therefore their days [03117] did he consume [03615] in vanity [01892], and their years [08141] in trouble [0928]. 19 78 34 When he slew [02026] them, then they sought [01875] him: and they returned [07725] and enquired early [07836] after God [0410]. 19 78 35 And they remembered [02142] that God [0430] was their rock [06697], and the high [05945] God [0410] their redeemer [01350]. 19 78 36 Nevertheless they did flatter [06601] him with their mouth [06310], and they lied [03576] unto him with their tongues [03956]. 19 78 37 For their heart [03820] was not right [03559] with him, neither were they stedfast [0539] in his covenant [01285]. 19 78 38 But he, being full of compassion [07349], forgave [03722] their iniquity [05771], and destroyed [07843] them not: yea, many a time [07235] turned [07725] he his anger [0639] away [07725], and did not stir up [05782] all his wrath [02534]. 19 78 39 For he remembered [02142] that they were but flesh [01320]; a wind [07307] that passeth away [01980], and cometh not again [07725]. 19 78 40 How [04100] oft did they provoke [04784] him in the wilderness [04057], and grieve [06087] him in the desert [03452]! 19 78 41 Yea, they turned back [07725] and tempted [05254] God [0410], and limited [08428] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 19 78 42 They remembered [02142] not his hand [03027], nor the day [03117] when he delivered [06299] them from the enemy [06862]. 19 78 43 How he had wrought [07760] his signs [0226] in Egypt [04714], and his wonders [04159] in the field [07704] of Zoan [06814]: 19 78 44 And had turned [02015] their rivers [02975] into blood [01818]; and their floods [05140], that they could not drink [08354]. 19 78 45 He sent [07971] divers sorts of flies [06157] among them, which devoured [0398] them; and frogs [06854], which destroyed [07843] them. 19 78 46 He gave [05414] also their increase [02981] unto the caterpiller [02625], and their labour [03018] unto the locust [0697]. 19 78 47 He destroyed [02026] their vines [01612] with hail [01259], and their sycomore trees [08256] with frost [02602]. 19 78 48 He gave up [05462] their cattle [01165] also to the hail [01259], and their flocks [04735] to hot thunderbolts [07565]. 19 78 49 He cast [07971] upon them the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639], wrath [05678], and indignation [02195], and trouble [06869], by sending [04917] evil [07451] angels [04397] among them. 19 78 50 He made [06424] a way [05410] to his anger [0639]; he spared [02820] not their soul [05315] from death [04194], but gave [05462] their life [02416] over [05462] to the pestilence [01698]; 19 78 51 And smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in Egypt [04714]; the chief [07225] of their strength [0202] in the tabernacles [0168] of Ham [02526]: 19 78 52 But made his own people [05971] to go forth [05265] like sheep [06629], and guided [05090] them in the wilderness [04057] like a flock [05739]. 19 78 53 And he led [05148] them on safely [0983], so that they feared [06342] not: but the sea [03220] overwhelmed [03680] their enemies [0341]. 19 78 54 And he brought [0935] them to the border [01366] of his sanctuary [06944], even to this mountain [02022], which his right hand [03225] had purchased [07069]. 19 78 55 He cast out [01644] the heathen [01471] also before [06440] them, and divided [05307] them an inheritance [05159] by line [02256], and made the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to dwell [07931] in their tents [0168]. 19 78 56 Yet they tempted [05254] and provoked [04784] the most high [05945] God [0430], and kept [08104] not his testimonies [05713]: 19 78 57 But turned back [05472], and dealt unfaithfully [0898] like their fathers [01]: they were turned aside [02015] like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198]. 19 78 58 For they provoked him to anger [03707] with their high places [01116], and moved him to jealousy [07065] with their graven images [06456]. 19 78 59 When God [0430] heard [08085] this, he was wroth [05674], and greatly [03966] abhorred [03988] Israel [03478]: 19 78 60 So that he forsook [05203] the tabernacle [04908] of Shiloh [07887], the tent [0168] which he placed [07931] among men [0120]; 19 78 61 And delivered [05414] his strength [05797] into captivity [07628], and his glory [08597] into the enemy's [06862] hand [03027]. 19 78 62 He gave [05462] his people [05971] over [05462] also unto the sword [02719]; and was wroth [05674] with his inheritance [05159]. 19 78 63 The fire [0784] consumed [0398] their young men [0970]; and their maidens [01330] were not given to marriage [01984]. 19 78 64 Their priests [03548] fell [05307] by the sword [02719]; and their widows [0490] made no lamentation [01058]. 19 78 65 Then the Lord [0136] awaked [03364] as one out of sleep [03463], and like a mighty man [01368] that shouteth [07442] by reason of wine [03196]. 19 78 66 And he smote [05221] his enemies [06862] in the hinder parts [0268]: he put [05414] them to a perpetual [05769] reproach [02781]. 19 78 67 Moreover he refused [03988] the tabernacle [0168] of Joseph [03130], and chose [0977] not the tribe [07626] of Ephraim [0669]: 19 78 68 But chose [0977] the tribe [07626] of Judah [03063], the mount [02022] Zion [06726] which he loved [0157]. 19 78 69 And he built [01129] his sanctuary [04720] like high [07311] palaces, like the earth [0776] which he hath established [03245] for ever [05769]. 19 78 70 He chose [0977] David [01732] also his servant [05650], and took [03947] him from the sheepfolds [04356] [06629]: 19 78 71 From following [0310] the ewes great with young [05763] he brought [0935] him to feed [07462] Jacob [03290] his people [05971], and Israel [03478] his inheritance [05159]. 19 78 72 So he fed [07462] them according to the integrity [08537] of his heart [03824]; and guided [05148] them by the skilfulness [08394] of his hands [03709]. 19 79 1 A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. O God [0430], the heathen [01471] are come [0935] into thine inheritance [05159]; thy holy [06944] temple [01964] have they defiled [02930]; they have laid [07760] Jerusalem [03389] on heaps [05856]. 19 79 2 The dead bodies [05038] of thy servants [05650] have they given [05414] to be meat [03978] unto the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], the flesh [01320] of thy saints [02623] unto the beasts [02416] of the earth [0776]. 19 79 3 Their blood [01818] have they shed [08210] like water [04325] round about [05439] Jerusalem [03389]; and there was none to bury [06912] them. 19 79 4 We are become a reproach [02781] to our neighbours [07934], a scorn [03933] and derision [07047] to them that are round about [05439] us. 19 79 5 How long, LORD [03068]? wilt thou be angry [0599] for ever [05331]? shall thy jealousy [07068] burn [01197] like fire [0784]? 19 79 6 Pour out [08210] thy wrath [02534] upon the heathen [01471] that have not known [03045] thee, and upon the kingdoms [04467] that have not called [07121] upon thy name [08034]. 19 79 7 For they have devoured [0398] Jacob [03290], and laid waste [08074] his dwelling place [05116]. 19 79 8 O remember [02142] not against us former [07223] iniquities [05771]: let thy tender mercies [07356] speedily [04118] prevent [06923] us: for we are brought [01809] very [03966] low [01809]. 19 79 9 Help [05826] us, O God [0430] of our salvation [03468], for [01697] the glory [03519] of thy name [08034]: and deliver [05337] us, and purge away [03722] our sins [02403], for thy name's [08034] sake. 19 79 10 Wherefore should the heathen [01471] say [0559], Where is their God [0430]? let him be known [03045] among the heathen [01471] in our sight [05869] by the revenging [05360] of the blood [01818] of thy servants [05650] which is shed [08210]. 19 79 11 Let the sighing [0603] of the prisoner [0615] come [0935] before [06440] thee; according to the greatness [01433] of thy power [02220] preserve [03498] thou those that are appointed [01121] to die [08546]; 19 79 12 And render [07725] unto our neighbours [07934] sevenfold [07659] into their bosom [02436] their reproach [02781], wherewith they have reproached [02778] thee, O Lord [0136]. 19 79 13 So we thy people [05971] and sheep [06629] of thy pasture [04830] will give thee thanks [03034] for ever [05769]: we will shew forth [05608] thy praise [08416] to all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 80 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Shoshannimeduth [07802], A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. Give ear [0238], O Shepherd [07462] of Israel [03478], thou that leadest [05090] Joseph [03130] like a flock [06629]; thou that dwellest [03427] between the cherubims [03742], shine forth [03313]. 19 80 2 Before [06440] Ephraim [0669] and Benjamin [01144] and Manasseh [04519] stir up [05782] thy strength [01369], and come [03212] and save [03444] us. 19 80 3 Turn us again [07725], O God [0430], and cause thy face [06440] to shine [0215]; and we shall be saved [03467]. 19 80 4 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], how long wilt thou be angry [06225] against the prayer [08605] of thy people [05971]? 19 80 5 Thou feedest [0398] them with the bread [03899] of tears [01832]; and givest them tears [01832] to drink [08248] in great measure [07991]. 19 80 6 Thou makest [07760] us a strife [04066] unto our neighbours [07934]: and our enemies [0341] laugh [03932] among themselves. 19 80 7 Turn us again [07725], O God [0430] of hosts [06635], and cause thy face [06440] to shine [0215]; and we shall be saved [03467]. 19 80 8 Thou hast brought [05265] a vine [01612] out of Egypt [04714]: thou hast cast out [01644] the heathen [01471], and planted [05193] it. 19 80 9 Thou preparedst [06437] room before [06440] it, and didst cause it to take deep [08328] root [08327], and it filled [04390] the land [0776]. 19 80 10 The hills [02022] were covered [03680] with the shadow [06738] of it, and the boughs [06057] thereof were like the goodly [0410] cedars [0730]. 19 80 11 She sent out [07971] her boughs [07105] unto the sea [03220], and her branches [03127] unto the river [05104]. 19 80 12 Why hast thou then broken down [06555] her hedges [01447], so that all they which pass [05674] by the way [01870] do pluck [0717] her? 19 80 13 The boar [02386] out of the wood [03293] doth waste [03765] it, and the wild beast [02123] of the field [07704] doth devour [07462] it. 19 80 14 Return [07725], we beseech thee, O God [0430] of hosts [06635]: look down [05027] from heaven [08064], and behold [07200], and visit [06485] this vine [01612]; 19 80 15 And the vineyard [03657] [03661] which thy right hand [03225] hath planted [05193], and the branch [01121] that thou madest strong [0553] for thyself. 19 80 16 It is burned [08313] with fire [0784], it is cut down [03683]: they perish [06] at the rebuke [01606] of thy countenance [06440]. 19 80 17 Let thy hand [03027] be upon the man [0376] of thy right hand [03225], upon the son [01121] of man [0120] whom thou madest strong [0553] for thyself. 19 80 18 So will not we go back [05472] from thee: quicken [02421] us, and we will call [07121] upon thy name [08034]. 19 80 19 Turn us again [07725], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], cause thy face [06440] to shine [0215]; and we shall be saved [03467]. 19 81 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Gittith [01665], A Psalm of Asaph [0623]. Sing aloud [07442] unto God [0430] our strength [05797]: make a joyful noise [07321] unto the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. 19 81 2 Take [05375] a psalm [02172], and bring [05414] hither the timbrel [08596], the pleasant [05273] harp [03658] with the psaltery [05035]. 19 81 3 Blow up [08628] the trumpet [07782] in the new moon [02320], in the time appointed [03677], on our solemn feast [02282] day [03117]. 19 81 4 For this was a statute [02706] for Israel [03478], and a law [04941] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. 19 81 5 This he ordained [07760] in Joseph [03084] for a testimony [05715], when he went out [03318] through the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: where I heard [08085] a language [08193] that I understood [03045] not. 19 81 6 I removed [05493] his shoulder [07926] from the burden [05447]: his hands [03709] were delivered [05674] from the pots [01731]. 19 81 7 Thou calledst [07121] in trouble [06869], and I delivered [02502] thee; I answered [06030] thee in the secret place [05643] of thunder [07482]: I proved [0974] thee at the waters [04325] of Meribah [04809]. Selah [05542]. 19 81 8 Hear [08085], O my people [05971], and I will testify [05749] unto thee: O Israel [03478], if thou wilt hearken [08085] unto me; 19 81 9 There shall no strange [02114] god [0410] be in thee; neither shalt thou worship [07812] any strange [05236] god [0410]. 19 81 10 I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which brought [05927] thee out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: open thy mouth [06310] wide [07337], and I will fill [04390] it. 19 81 11 But my people [05971] would not hearken [08085] to my voice [06963]; and Israel [03478] would [014] none of me. 19 81 12 So I gave them up [07971] unto their own hearts [03820]' lust [08307]: and they walked [03212] in their own counsels [04156]. 19 81 13 Oh [03863] that my people [05971] had hearkened [08085] unto me, and Israel [03478] had walked [01980] in my ways [01870]! 19 81 14 I should soon [04592] have subdued [03665] their enemies [0341], and turned [07725] my hand [03027] against their adversaries [06862]. 19 81 15 The haters [08130] of the LORD [03068] should have submitted [03584] themselves unto him: but their time [06256] should have endured for ever [05769]. 19 81 16 He should have fed [0398] them also with the finest [02459] of the wheat [02406]: and with honey [01706] out of the rock [06697] should I have satisfied [07646] thee. 19 82 1 A Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. God [0430] standeth [05324] in the congregation [05712] of the mighty [0410]; he judgeth [08199] among [07130] the gods [0430]. 19 82 2 How long will ye judge [08199] unjustly [05766], and accept [05375] the persons [06440] of the wicked [07563]? Selah [05542]. 19 82 3 Defend [08199] the poor [01800] and fatherless [03490]: do justice [06663] to the afflicted [06041] and needy [07326]. 19 82 4 Deliver [06403] the poor [01800] and needy [034]: rid [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563]. 19 82 5 They know [03045] not, neither will they understand [0995]; they walk [01980] on in darkness [02825]: all the foundations [04144] of the earth [0776] are out of course [04131]. 19 82 6 I have said [0559], Ye are gods [0430]; and all of you are children [01121] of the most High [05945]. 19 82 7 But [0403] ye shall die [04191] like men [0120], and fall [05307] like one [0259] of the princes [08269]. 19 82 8 Arise [06965], O God [0430], judge [08199] the earth [0776]: for thou shalt inherit [05157] all nations [01471]. 19 83 1 A Song [07892] or Psalm [04210] of Asaph [0623]. Keep not thou silence [01824], O God [0430]: hold not thy peace [02790], and be not still [08252], O God [0410]. 19 83 2 For, lo, thine enemies [0341] make a tumult [01993]: and they that hate [08130] thee have lifted up [05375] the head [07218]. 19 83 3 They have taken crafty [06191] counsel [05475] against thy people [05971], and consulted [03289] against thy hidden ones [06845]. 19 83 4 They have said [0559], Come [03212], and let us cut them off [03582] from being a nation [01471]; that the name [08034] of Israel [03478] may be no more in remembrance [02142]. 19 83 5 For they have consulted [03289] together [03162] with one consent [03820]: they are [03772] confederate [01285] against thee: 19 83 6 The tabernacles [0168] of Edom [0123], and the Ishmaelites [03459]; of Moab [04124], and the Hagarenes [01905]; 19 83 7 Gebal [01381], and Ammon [05983], and Amalek [06002]; the Philistines [06429] with the inhabitants [03427] of Tyre [06865]; 19 83 8 Assur [0804] also is joined [03867] with them: they have holpen [02220] the children [01121] of Lot [03876]. Selah [05542]. 19 83 9 Do [06213] unto them as unto the Midianites [04080]; as to Sisera [05516], as to Jabin [02985], at the brook [05158] of Kison [07028]: 19 83 10 Which perished [08045] at Endor [05874]: they became as dung [01828] for the earth [0127]. 19 83 11 Make [07896] their nobles [05081] like Oreb [06159], and like Zeeb [02062]: yea, all their princes [05257] as Zebah [02078], and as Zalmunna [06759]: 19 83 12 Who said [0559], Let us take to ourselves the houses [04999] of God [0430] in possession [03423]. 19 83 13 O my God [0430], make [07896] them like a wheel [01534]; as the stubble [07179] before [06440] the wind [07307]. 19 83 14 As the fire [0784] burneth [01197] a wood [03293], and as the flame [03852] setteth [03857] the mountains [02022] on fire [03857]; 19 83 15 So persecute [07291] them with thy tempest [05591], and make them afraid [0926] with thy storm [05492]. 19 83 16 Fill [04390] their faces [06440] with shame [07036]; that they may seek [01245] thy name [08034], O LORD [03068]. 19 83 17 Let them be confounded [0954] and troubled [0926] for ever [05703]; yea, let them be put to shame [02659], and perish [06]: 19 83 18 That men may know [03045] that thou, whose name [08034] alone is JEHOVAH [03068], art the most high [05945] over all the earth [0776]. 19 84 1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Gittith [01665], A Psalm [04210] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. How amiable [03039] are thy tabernacles [04908], O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]! 19 84 2 My soul [05315] longeth [03700], yea, even fainteth [03615] for the courts [02691] of the LORD [03068]: my heart [03820] and my flesh [01320] crieth out [07442] for the living [02416] God [0410]. 19 84 3 Yea, the sparrow [06833] hath found [04672] an house [01004], and the swallow [01866] a nest [07064] for herself, where she may lay [07896] her young [0667], even thine altars [04196], O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], my King [04428], and my God [0430]. 19 84 4 Blessed [0835] are they that dwell [03427] in thy house [01004]: they will be still praising [01984] thee. Selah [05542]. 19 84 5 Blessed [0835] is the man [0120] whose strength [05797] is in thee; in whose heart [03824] are the ways [04546] of them. 19 84 6 Who passing [05674] through the valley [06010] of Baca [01056] [01057] make [07896] it a well [04599]; the rain [04175] also filleth [05844] the pools [01293]. 19 84 7 They go [03212] from strength [02428] to strength [02428], every one of them in Zion [06726] appeareth [07200] before God [0430]. 19 84 8 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], hear [08085] my prayer [08605]: give ear [0238], O God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. Selah [05542]. 19 84 9 Behold [07200], O God [0430] our shield [04043], and look [05027] upon the face [06440] of thine anointed [04899]. 19 84 10 For a day [03117] in thy courts [02691] is better [02896] than a thousand [0505]. I had rather [0977] be a doorkeeper [05605] in the house [01004] of my God [0430], than to dwell [01752] in the tents [0168] of wickedness [07562]. 19 84 11 For the LORD [03068] God [0430] is a sun [08121] and shield [04043]: the LORD [03068] will give [05414] grace [02580] and glory [03519]: no good [02896] thing will he withhold [04513] from them that walk [01980] uprightly [08549]. 19 84 12 O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], blessed [0835] is the man [0120] that trusteth [0982] in thee. 19 85 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. LORD [03068], thou hast been favourable [07521] unto thy land [0776]: thou hast brought back [07725] the captivity [07622] [07622] of Jacob [03290]. 19 85 2 Thou hast forgiven [05375] the iniquity [05771] of thy people [05971], thou hast covered [03680] all their sin [02403]. Selah [05542]. 19 85 3 Thou hast taken away [0622] all thy wrath [05678]: thou hast turned [07725] thyself from the fierceness [02740] of thine anger [0639]. 19 85 4 Turn [07725] us, O God [0430] of our salvation [03468], and cause thine anger [03708] toward us to cease [06565]. 19 85 5 Wilt thou be angry [0599] with us for ever [05769]? wilt thou draw out [04900] thine anger [0639] to all [01755] generations [01755]? 19 85 6 Wilt thou not revive [02421] us again [07725]: that thy people [05971] may rejoice [08055] in thee? 19 85 7 Shew [07200] us thy mercy [02617], O LORD [03068], and grant [05414] us thy salvation [03468]. 19 85 8 I will hear [08085] what God [0410] the LORD [03068] will speak [01696]: for he will speak [01696] peace [07965] unto his people [05971], and to his saints [02623]: but let them not turn again [07725] to folly [03690]. 19 85 9 Surely his salvation [03468] is nigh [07138] them that fear [03373] him; that glory [03519] may dwell [07931] in our land [0776]. 19 85 10 Mercy [02617] and truth [0571] are met together [06298]; righteousness [06664] and peace [07965] have kissed [05401] each other. 19 85 11 Truth [0571] shall spring out [06779] of the earth [0776]; and righteousness [06664] shall look down [08259] from heaven [08064]. 19 85 12 Yea, the LORD [03068] shall give [05414] that which is good [02896]; and our land [0776] shall yield [05414] her increase [02981]. 19 85 13 Righteousness [06664] shall go [01980] before [06440] him; and shall set [07760] us in the way [01870] of his steps [06471]. 19 86 1 A Prayer [08605] of David [01732]. Bow down [05186] thine ear [0241], O LORD [03068], hear [06030] me: for I am poor [06041] and needy [034]. 19 86 2 Preserve [08104] my soul [05315]; for I am holy [02623]: O thou my God [0430], save [03467] thy servant [05650] that trusteth [0982] in thee. 19 86 3 Be merciful [02603] unto me, O Lord [0136]: for I cry [07121] unto thee daily [03117]. 19 86 4 Rejoice [08055] the soul [05315] of thy servant [05650]: for unto thee, O Lord [0136], do I lift up [05375] my soul [05315]. 19 86 5 For thou, Lord [0136], art good [02896], and ready to forgive [05546]; and plenteous [07227] in mercy [02617] unto all them that call [07121] upon thee. 19 86 6 Give ear [0238], O LORD [03068], unto my prayer [08605]; and attend [07181] to the voice [06963] of my supplications [08469]. 19 86 7 In the day [03117] of my trouble [06869] I will call [07121] upon thee: for thou wilt answer [06030] me. 19 86 8 Among the gods [0430] there is none like unto thee, O Lord [0136]; neither are there any works like unto thy works [04639]. 19 86 9 All nations [01471] whom thou hast made [06213] shall come [0935] and worship [07812] before [06440] thee, O Lord [0136]; and shall glorify [03513] thy name [08034]. 19 86 10 For thou art great [01419], and doest [06213] wondrous things [06381]: thou art God [0430] alone. 19 86 11 Teach [03384] me thy way [01870], O LORD [03068]; I will walk [01980] in thy truth [0571]: unite [03161] my heart [03824] to fear [03372] thy name [08034]. 19 86 12 I will praise [03034] thee, O Lord [0136] my God [0430], with all my heart [03824]: and I will glorify [03513] thy name [08034] for evermore [05769]. 19 86 13 For great [01419] is thy mercy [02617] toward me: and thou hast delivered [05337] my soul [05315] from the lowest [08482] hell [07585]. 19 86 14 O God [0430], the proud [02086] are risen [06965] against me, and the assemblies [05712] of violent [06184] men have sought [01245] after my soul [05315]; and have not set [07760] thee before them. 19 86 15 But thou, O Lord [0136], art a God [0410] full of compassion [07349], and gracious [02587], longsuffering [0750] [0639], and plenteous [07227] in mercy [02617] and truth [0571]. 19 86 16 O turn [06437] unto me, and have mercy [02603] upon me; give [05414] thy strength [05797] unto thy servant [05650], and save [03467] the son [01121] of thine handmaid [0519]. 19 86 17 Shew [06213] me a token [0226] for good [02896]; that they which hate [08130] me may see [07200] it, and be ashamed [0954]: because thou, LORD [03068], hast holpen [05826] me, and comforted [05162] me. 19 87 1 A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141]. His foundation [03248] is in the holy [06944] mountains [02042]. 19 87 2 The LORD [03068] loveth [0157] the gates [08179] of Zion [06726] more than all the dwellings [04908] of Jacob [03290]. 19 87 3 Glorious things [03513] are spoken [01696] of thee, O city [05892] of God [0430]. Selah [05542]. 19 87 4 I will make mention [02142] of Rahab [07294] and Babylon [0894] to them that know [03045] me: behold Philistia [06429], and Tyre [06865], with Ethiopia [03568]; this man was born [03205] there. 19 87 5 And of Zion [06726] it shall be said [0559], This and that man [0376] was born [03205] in her: and the highest [05945] himself shall establish [03559] her. 19 87 6 The LORD [03068] shall count [05608], when he writeth up [03789] the people [05971], that this man was born [03205] there. Selah [05542]. 19 87 7 As well the singers [07891] as the players [02490] on instruments shall be there: all my springs [04599] are in thee. 19 88 1 A Song [07892] or Psalm [04210] for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141], to the chief Musician [05329] upon Mahalath [04257] Leannoth [06031], Maschil [04905] of Heman [01968] the Ezrahite [0250]. O LORD [03068] God [0430] of my salvation [03444], I have cried [06817] day [03117] and night [03915] before thee: 19 88 2 Let my prayer [08605] come [0935] before [06440] thee: incline [05186] thine ear [0241] unto my cry [07440]; 19 88 3 For my soul [05315] is full [07646] of troubles [07451]: and my life [02416] draweth nigh [05060] unto the grave [07585]. 19 88 4 I am counted [02803] with them that go down [03381] into the pit [0953]: I am as a man [01397] that hath no strength [0353]: 19 88 5 Free [02670] among the dead [04191], like the slain [02491] that lie [07901] in the grave [06913], whom thou rememberest [02142] no more: and they are cut off [01504] from thy hand [03027]. 19 88 6 Thou hast laid [07896] me in the lowest [08482] pit [0953], in darkness [04285], in the deeps [04688]. 19 88 7 Thy wrath [02534] lieth hard [05564] upon me, and thou hast afflicted [06031] me with all thy waves [04867]. Selah [05542]. 19 88 8 Thou hast put away [07368] mine acquaintance [03045] far [07368] from me; thou hast made [07896] me an abomination [08441] unto them: I am shut up [03607], and I cannot come forth [03318]. 19 88 9 Mine eye [05869] mourneth [01669] by reason of affliction [06040]: LORD [03068], I have called [07121] daily [03117] upon thee, I have stretched out [07849] my hands [03709] unto thee. 19 88 10 Wilt thou shew [06213] wonders [06382] to the dead [04191]? shall the dead [07496] arise [06965] and praise [03034] thee? Selah [05542]. 19 88 11 Shall thy lovingkindness [02617] be declared [05608] in the grave [06913]? or thy faithfulness [0530] in destruction [011]? 19 88 12 Shall thy wonders [06382] be known [03045] in the dark [02822]? and thy righteousness [06666] in the land [0776] of forgetfulness [05388]? 19 88 13 But unto thee have I cried [07768], O LORD [03068]; and in the morning [01242] shall my prayer [08605] prevent [06923] thee. 19 88 14 LORD [03068], why castest thou off [02186] my soul [05315]? why hidest [05641] thou thy face [06440] from me? 19 88 15 I am afflicted [06041] and ready to die [01478] from my youth [05290] up: while I suffer [05375] thy terrors [0367] I am distracted [06323]. 19 88 16 Thy fierce wrath [02740] goeth over [05674] me; thy terrors [01161] have cut me off [06789]. 19 88 17 They came round about [05437] me daily [03117] like water [04325]; they compassed [05362] me about together [03162]. 19 88 18 Lover [0157] and friend [07453] hast thou put far [07368] from me, and mine acquaintance [03045] into darkness [04285]. 19 89 1 Maschil [04905] of Ethan [0387] the Ezrahite [0250]. I will sing [07891] of the mercies [02617] of the LORD [03068] for ever [05769]: with my mouth [06310] will I make known [03045] thy faithfulness [0530] to all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 89 2 For I have said [0559], Mercy [02617] shall be built up [01129] for ever [05769]: thy faithfulness [0530] shalt thou establish [03559] in the very heavens [08064]. 19 89 3 I have made [03772] a covenant [01285] with my chosen [0972], I have sworn [07650] unto David [01732] my servant [05650], 19 89 4 Thy seed [02233] will I establish [03559] for [05704] ever [05769], and build up [01129] thy throne [03678] to all [01755] generations [01755]. Selah [05542]. 19 89 5 And the heavens [08064] shall praise [03034] thy wonders [06382], O LORD [03068]: thy faithfulness [0530] also in the congregation [06951] of the saints [06918]. 19 89 6 For who in the heaven [07834] can be compared [06186] unto the LORD [03068]? who among the sons [01121] of the mighty [0410] can be likened [01819] unto the LORD [03068]? 19 89 7 God [0410] is greatly [07227] to be feared [06206] in the assembly [05475] of the saints [06918], and to be had in reverence [03372] of all them that are about [05439] him. 19 89 8 O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], who is a strong [02626] LORD [03050] like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness [0530] round about [05439] thee? 19 89 9 Thou rulest [04910] the raging [01348] of the sea [03220]: when the waves [01530] thereof arise [07721], thou stillest [07623] them. 19 89 10 Thou hast broken [01792] Rahab [07294] in pieces [01792], as one that is slain [02491]; thou hast scattered [06340] thine enemies [0341] with thy strong [05797] arm [02220]. 19 89 11 The heavens [08064] are thine, the earth [0776] also is thine: as for the world [08398] and the fulness [04393] thereof, thou hast founded [03245] them. 19 89 12 The north [06828] and the south [03225] thou hast created [01254] them: Tabor [08396] and Hermon [02768] shall rejoice [07442] in thy name [08034]. 19 89 13 Thou hast a mighty [01369] arm [02220]: strong [05810] is thy hand [03027], and high [07311] is thy right hand [03225]. 19 89 14 Justice [06664] and judgment [04941] are the habitation [04349] of thy throne [03678]: mercy [02617] and truth [0571] shall go [06923] before thy face [06440]. 19 89 15 Blessed [0835] is the people [05971] that know [03045] the joyful sound [08643]: they shall walk [01980], O LORD [03068], in the light [0216] of thy countenance [06440]. 19 89 16 In thy name [08034] shall they rejoice [01523] all the day [03117]: and in thy righteousness [06666] shall they be exalted [07311]. 19 89 17 For thou art the glory [08597] of their strength [05797]: and in thy favour [07522] our horn [07161] shall be exalted [07311] [07311]. 19 89 18 For the LORD [03068] is our defence [04043]; and the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] is our king [04428]. 19 89 19 Then thou spakest [01696] in vision [02377] to thy holy one [02623], and saidst [0559], I have laid [07737] help [05828] upon one that is mighty [01368]; I have exalted [07311] one chosen [0977] out of the people [05971]. 19 89 20 I have found [04672] David [01732] my servant [05650]; with my holy [06944] oil [08081] have I anointed [04886] him: 19 89 21 With whom my hand [03027] shall be established [03559]: mine arm [02220] also shall strengthen [0553] him. 19 89 22 The enemy [0341] shall not exact [05378] upon him; nor the son [01121] of wickedness [05766] afflict [06031] him. 19 89 23 And I will beat down [03807] his foes [06862] before his face [06440], and plague [05062] them that hate [08130] him. 19 89 24 But my faithfulness [0530] and my mercy [02617] shall be with him: and in my name [08034] shall his horn [07161] be exalted [07311]. 19 89 25 I will set [07760] his hand [03027] also in the sea [03220], and his right hand [03225] in the rivers [05104]. 19 89 26 He shall cry [07121] unto me, Thou art my father [01], my God [0410], and the rock [06697] of my salvation [03444]. 19 89 27 Also I will make [05414] him my firstborn [01060], higher [05945] than the kings [04428] of the earth [0776]. 19 89 28 My mercy [02617] will I keep [08104] for him for evermore [05769], and my covenant [01285] shall stand fast [0539] with him. 19 89 29 His seed [02233] also will I make [07760] to endure for ever [05703], and his throne [03678] as the days [03117] of heaven [08064]. 19 89 30 If his children [01121] forsake [05800] my law [08451], and walk [03212] not in my judgments [04941]; 19 89 31 If they break [02490] my statutes [02708], and keep [08104] not my commandments [04687]; 19 89 32 Then will I visit [06485] their transgression [06588] with the rod [07626], and their iniquity [05771] with stripes [05061]. 19 89 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness [02617] will I not utterly take [06331] from him, nor suffer my faithfulness [0530] to fail [08266]. 19 89 34 My covenant [01285] will I not break [02490], nor alter [08138] the thing that is gone out [04161] of my lips [08193]. 19 89 35 Once [0259] have I sworn [07650] by my holiness [06944] that I will not lie [03576] unto David [01732]. 19 89 36 His seed [02233] shall endure for ever [05769], and his throne [03678] as the sun [08121] before me. 19 89 37 It shall be established [03559] for ever [05769] as the moon [03394], and as a faithful [0539] witness [05707] in heaven [07834]. Selah [05542]. 19 89 38 But thou hast cast off [02186] and abhorred [03988], thou hast been wroth [05674] with thine anointed [04899]. 19 89 39 Thou hast made void [05010] the covenant [01285] of thy servant [05650]: thou hast profaned [02490] his crown [05145] by casting it to the ground [0776]. 19 89 40 Thou hast broken down [06555] all his hedges [01448]; thou hast brought [07760] his strong holds [04013] to ruin [04288]. 19 89 41 All that pass by [05674] the way [01870] spoil [08155] him: he is a reproach [02781] to his neighbours [07934]. 19 89 42 Thou hast set up [07311] the right hand [03225] of his adversaries [06862]; thou hast made all his enemies [0341] to rejoice [08055]. 19 89 43 Thou hast also turned [07725] the edge [06697] of his sword [02719], and hast not made him to stand [06965] in the battle [04421]. 19 89 44 Thou hast made his glory [02892] to cease [07673], and cast [04048] his throne [03678] down [04048] to the ground [0776]. 19 89 45 The days [03117] of his youth [05934] hast thou shortened [07114]: thou hast covered [05844] him with shame [0955]. Selah [05542]. 19 89 46 How long, LORD [03068]? wilt thou hide [05641] thyself for ever [05331]? shall thy wrath [02534] burn [01197] like fire [0784]? 19 89 47 Remember [02142] how short [02465] my time is: wherefore hast thou made [01254] all men [01121] [0120] in vain [07723]? 19 89 48 What man [01397] is he that liveth [02421], and shall not see [07200] death [04194]? shall he deliver [04422] his soul [05315] from the hand [03027] of the grave [07585]? Selah [05542]. 19 89 49 Lord [0136], where are thy former [07223] lovingkindnesses [02617], which thou swarest [07650] unto David [01732] in thy truth [0530]? 19 89 50 Remember [02142], Lord [0136], the reproach [02781] of thy servants [05650]; how I do bear [05375] in my bosom [02436] the reproach of all the mighty [07227] people [05971]; 19 89 51 Wherewith thine enemies [0341] have reproached [02778], O LORD [03068]; wherewith they have reproached [02778] the footsteps [06119] of thine anointed [04899]. 19 89 52 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] for evermore [05769]. Amen [0543], and Amen [0543]. 19 90 1 A Prayer [08605] of Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430]. Lord [0136], thou hast been our dwelling place [04583] in all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 90 2 Before the mountains [02022] were brought forth [03205], or ever thou hadst formed [02342] the earth [0776] and the world [08398], even from everlasting [05769] to [05704] everlasting [05769], thou art God [0410]. 19 90 3 Thou turnest [07725] man [0582] to destruction [01793]; and sayest [0559], Return [07725], ye children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 90 4 For a thousand [0505] years [08141] in thy sight [05869] are but as [03117] yesterday [0865] when it is past [05674], and as a watch [0821] in the night [03915]. 19 90 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood [02229]; they are as a sleep [08142]: in the morning [01242] they are like grass [02682] which groweth up [02498]. 19 90 6 In the morning [01242] it flourisheth [06692], and groweth up [02498]; in the evening [06153] it is cut down [04135], and withereth [03001]. 19 90 7 For we are consumed [03615] by thine anger [0639], and by thy wrath [02534] are we troubled [0926]. 19 90 8 Thou hast set [07896] our iniquities [05771] before thee, our secret [05956] sins in the light [03974] of thy countenance [06440]. 19 90 9 For all our days [03117] are passed away [06437] in thy wrath [05678]: we spend [03615] our years [08141] as a tale [01899] that is told. 19 90 10 The days [03117] of our years [08141] are threescore [07657] years [08141] and ten [07657]; and if by reason of strength [01369] they be fourscore [08084] years [08141], yet is their strength [07296] labour [05999] and sorrow [0205]; for it is soon [02440] cut off [01468], and we fly away [05774]. 19 90 11 Who knoweth [03045] the power [05797] of thine anger [0639]? even according to thy fear [03374], so is thy wrath [05678]. 19 90 12 So teach [03045] us to number [04487] our days [03117], that we may apply [0935] our hearts [03824] unto wisdom [02451]. 19 90 13 Return [07725], O LORD [03068], how long? and let it repent [05162] thee concerning thy servants [05650]. 19 90 14 O satisfy [07646] us early [01242] with thy mercy [02617]; that we may rejoice [07442] and be glad [08055] all our days [03117]. 19 90 15 Make us glad [08055] according to the days [03117] wherein thou hast afflicted [06031] us, and the years [08141] wherein we have seen [07200] evil [07451]. 19 90 16 Let thy work [06467] appear [07200] unto thy servants [05650], and thy glory [01926] unto their children [01121]. 19 90 17 And let the beauty [05278] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430] be upon us: and establish [03559] thou the work [04639] of our hands [03027] upon us; yea, the work [04639] of our hands [03027] establish [03559] thou it. 19 91 1 He that dwelleth [03427] in the secret [05643] place of the most High [05945] shall abide [03885] under the shadow [06738] of the Almighty [07706]. 19 91 2 I will say [0559] of the LORD [03068], He is my refuge [04268] and my fortress [04686]: my God [0430]; in him will I trust [0982]. 19 91 3 Surely he shall deliver [05337] thee from the snare [06341] of the fowler [03353], and from the noisome [01942] pestilence [01698]. 19 91 4 He shall cover [05526] thee with his feathers [084], and under his wings [03671] shalt thou trust [02620]: his truth [0571] shall be thy shield [06793] and buckler [05507]. 19 91 5 Thou shalt not be afraid [03372] for the terror [06343] by night [03915]; nor for the arrow [02671] that flieth [05774] by day [03119]; 19 91 6 Nor for the pestilence [01698] that walketh [01980] in darkness [0652]; nor for the destruction [06986] that wasteth [07736] at noonday [06672]. 19 91 7 A thousand [0505] shall fall [05307] at thy side [06654], and ten thousand [07233] at thy right hand [03225]; but it shall not come nigh [05066] thee. 19 91 8 Only with thine eyes [05869] shalt thou behold [05027] and see [07200] the reward [08011] of the wicked [07563]. 19 91 9 Because thou hast made [07760] the LORD [03068], which is my refuge [04268], even the most High [05945], thy habitation [04583]; 19 91 10 There shall no evil [07451] befall [0579] thee, neither shall any plague [05061] come nigh [07126] thy dwelling [0168]. 19 91 11 For he shall give his angels [04397] charge [06680] over thee, to keep [08104] thee in all thy ways [01870]. 19 91 12 They shall bear thee up [05375] in their hands [03709], lest thou dash [05062] thy foot [07272] against a stone [068]. 19 91 13 Thou shalt tread [01869] upon the lion [07826] and adder [06620]: the young lion [03715] and the dragon [08577] shalt thou trample under feet [07429]. 19 91 14 Because he hath set his love [02836] upon me, therefore will I deliver [06403] him: I will set him on high [07682], because he hath known [03045] my name [08034]. 19 91 15 He shall call [07121] upon me, and I will answer [06030] him: I will be with him in trouble [06869]; I will deliver [02502] him, and honour [03513] him. 19 91 16 With long [0753] life [03117] will I satisfy [07646] him, and shew [07200] him my salvation [03444]. 19 92 1 A Psalm [04210] or Song [07892] for the sabbath [07676] day [03117]. It is a good [02896] thing to give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068], and to sing praises [02167] unto thy name [08034], O most High [05945]: 19 92 2 To shew forth [05046] thy lovingkindness [02617] in the morning [01242], and thy faithfulness [0530] every night [03915], 19 92 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings [06218], and upon the psaltery [05035]; upon the harp [03658] with a solemn sound [01902]. 19 92 4 For thou, LORD [03068], hast made me glad [08055] through thy work [06467]: I will triumph [07442] in the works [04639] of thy hands [03027]. 19 92 5 O LORD [03068], how great [01431] are thy works [04639]! and thy thoughts [04284] are very [03966] deep [06009]. 19 92 6 A brutish [01198] man [0376] knoweth [03045] not; neither doth a fool [03684] understand [0995] this. 19 92 7 When the wicked [07563] spring [06524] as the grass [06212], and when all the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] do flourish [06692]; it is that they shall be destroyed [08045] for ever [05703]: 19 92 8 But thou, LORD [03068], art most high [04791] for evermore [05769]. 19 92 9 For, lo, thine enemies [0341], O LORD [03068], for, lo, thine enemies [0341] shall perish [06]; all the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] shall be scattered [06504]. 19 92 10 But my horn [07161] shalt thou exalt [07311] like the horn of an unicorn [07214]: I shall be anointed [01101] with fresh [07488] oil [08081]. 19 92 11 Mine eye [05869] also shall see [05027] my desire on mine enemies [07790], and mine ears [0241] shall hear [08085] my desire of the wicked [07489] that rise up [06965] against me. 19 92 12 The righteous [06662] shall flourish [06524] like the palm tree [08558]: he shall grow [07685] like a cedar [0730] in Lebanon [03844]. 19 92 13 Those that be planted [08362] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] shall flourish [06524] in the courts [02691] of our God [0430]. 19 92 14 They shall still bring forth fruit [05107] in old age [07872]; they shall be fat [01879] and flourishing [07488]; 19 92 15 To shew [05046] that the LORD [03068] is upright [03477]: he is my rock [06697], and there is no unrighteousness [05766] [05766] in him. 19 93 1 The LORD [03068] reigneth [04427], he is clothed [03847] with majesty [01348]; the LORD [03068] is clothed [03847] with strength [05797], wherewith he hath girded [0247] himself: the world [08398] also is stablished [03559], that it cannot be moved [04131]. 19 93 2 Thy throne [03678] is established [03559] of old [0227]: thou art from everlasting [05769]. 19 93 3 The floods [05104] have lifted up [05375], O LORD [03068], the floods [05104] have lifted up [05375] their voice [06963]; the floods [05104] lift up [05375] their waves [01796]. 19 93 4 The LORD [03068] on high [04791] is mightier [0117] than the noise [06963] of many [07227] waters [04325], yea, than the mighty [0117] waves [04867] of the sea [03220]. 19 93 5 Thy testimonies [05713] are very [03966] sure [0539]: holiness [06944] becometh [04998] thine house [01004], O LORD [03068], for ever [0753] [03117]. 19 94 1 O LORD [03068] God [0410], to whom vengeance [05360] belongeth; O God [0410], to whom vengeance [05360] belongeth, shew [03313] thyself. 19 94 2 Lift up [05375] thyself, thou judge [08199] of the earth [0776]: render [07725] a reward [01576] to the proud [01343]. 19 94 3 LORD [03068], how long shall the wicked [07563], how long shall the wicked [07563] triumph [05937]? 19 94 4 How long shall they utter [05042] and speak [01696] hard things [06277]? and all the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205] boast [0559] themselves? 19 94 5 They break in pieces [01792] thy people [05971], O LORD [03068], and afflict [06031] thine heritage [05159]. 19 94 6 They slay [02026] the widow [0490] and the stranger [01616], and murder [07523] the fatherless [03490]. 19 94 7 Yet they say [0559], The LORD [03050] shall not see [07200], neither shall the God [0430] of Jacob [03290] regard [0995] it. 19 94 8 Understand [0995], ye brutish [01197] among the people [05971]: and ye fools [03684], when will ye be wise [07919]? 19 94 9 He that planted [05193] the ear [0241], shall he not hear [08085]? he that formed [03335] the eye [05869], shall he not see [05027]? 19 94 10 He that chastiseth [03256] the heathen [01471], shall not he correct [03198]? he that teacheth [03925] man [0120] knowledge [01847], shall not he know? 19 94 11 The LORD [03068] knoweth [03045] the thoughts [04284] of man [0120], that they are vanity [01892]. 19 94 12 Blessed [0835] is the man [01397] whom thou chastenest [03256], O LORD [03050], and teachest [03925] him out of thy law [08451]; 19 94 13 That thou mayest give him rest [08252] from the days [03117] of adversity [07451], until the pit [07845] be digged [03738] for the wicked [07563]. 19 94 14 For the LORD [03068] will not cast off [05203] his people [05971], neither will he forsake [05800] his inheritance [05159]. 19 94 15 But judgment [04941] shall return [07725] unto righteousness [06664]: and all the upright [03477] in heart [03820] shall follow [0310] it. 19 94 16 Who will rise up [06965] for me against the evildoers [07489]? or who will stand up [03320] for me against the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]? 19 94 17 Unless [03884] the LORD [03068] had been my help [05833], my soul [05315] had almost [04592] dwelt [07931] in silence [01745]. 19 94 18 When I said [0559], My foot [07272] slippeth [04131]; thy mercy [02617], O LORD [03068], held me up [05582]. 19 94 19 In the multitude [07230] of my thoughts [08312] within [07130] me thy comforts [08575] delight [08173] my soul [05315]. 19 94 20 Shall the throne [03678] of iniquity [01942] have fellowship [02266] with thee, which frameth [03335] mischief [05999] by a law [02706]? 19 94 21 They gather themselves together [01413] against the soul [05315] of the righteous [06662], and condemn [07561] the innocent [05355] blood [01818]. 19 94 22 But the LORD [03068] is my defence [04869]; and my God [0430] is the rock [06697] of my refuge [04268]. 19 94 23 And he shall bring [07725] upon them their own iniquity [0205], and shall cut them off [06789] in their own wickedness [07451]; yea, the LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall cut them off [06789]. 19 95 1 O come [03212], let us sing [07442] unto the LORD [03068]: let us make a joyful noise [07321] to the rock [06697] of our salvation [03468]. 19 95 2 Let us come [06923] before his presence [06440] with thanksgiving [08426], and make a joyful noise [07321] unto him with psalms [02158]. 19 95 3 For the LORD [03068] is a great [01419] God [0410], and a great [01419] King [04428] above all gods [0430]. 19 95 4 In his hand [03027] are the deep places [04278] of the earth [0776]: the strength [08443] of the hills [02022] is his also. 19 95 5 The sea [03220] is his, and he made [06213] it: and his hands [03027] formed [03335] the dry [03006] land. 19 95 6 O come [0935], let us worship [07812] and bow down [03766]: let us kneel [01288] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our maker [06213]. 19 95 7 For he is our God [0430]; and we are the people [05971] of his pasture [04830], and the sheep [06629] of his hand [03027]. To day [03117] if ye will hear [08085] his voice [06963], 19 95 8 Harden [07185] not your heart [03824], as in the provocation [04808], and as in the day [03117] of temptation [04531] in the wilderness [04057]: 19 95 9 When your fathers [01] tempted [05254] me, proved [0974] me, and saw [07200] my work [06467]. 19 95 10 Forty [0705] years [08141] long was I grieved [06962] with this generation [01755], and said [0559], It is a people [05971] that do err [08582] in their heart [03824], and they have not known [03045] my ways [01870]: 19 95 11 Unto whom I sware [07650] in my wrath [0639] that they should not enter [0935] into my rest [04496]. 19 96 1 O sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068] a new [02319] song [07892]: sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], all the earth [0776]. 19 96 2 Sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], bless [01288] his name [08034]; shew forth [01319] his salvation [03444] from day [03117] to day [03117]. 19 96 3 Declare [05608] his glory [03519] among the heathen [01471], his wonders [06381] among all people [05971]. 19 96 4 For the LORD [03068] is great [01419], and greatly [03966] to be praised [01984]: he is to be feared [03372] above all gods [0430]. 19 96 5 For all the gods [0430] of the nations [05971] are idols [0457]: but the LORD [03068] made [06213] the heavens [08064]. 19 96 6 Honour [01935] and majesty [01926] are before [06440] him: strength [05797] and beauty [08597] are in his sanctuary [04720]. 19 96 7 Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068], O ye kindreds [04940] of the people [05971], give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] glory [03519] and strength [05797]. 19 96 8 Give [03051] unto the LORD [03068] the glory [03519] due unto his name [08034]: bring [05375] an offering [04503], and come [0935] into his courts [02691]. 19 96 9 O worship [07812] the LORD [03068] in the beauty [01927] of holiness [06944]: fear [02342] before [06440] him, all the earth [0776]. 19 96 10 Say [0559] among the heathen [01471] that the LORD [03068] reigneth [04427]: the world [08398] also shall be established [03559] that it shall not be moved [04131]: he shall judge [01777] the people [05971] righteously [04339]. 19 96 11 Let the heavens [08064] rejoice [08055], and let the earth [0776] be glad [01523]; let the sea [03220] roar [07481], and the fulness [04393] thereof. 19 96 12 Let the field [07704] be joyful [05937], and all that is therein: then shall all the trees [06086] of the wood [03293] rejoice [07442] 19 96 13 Before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for he cometh [0935], for he cometh [0935] to judge [08199] the earth [0776]: he shall judge [08199] the world [08398] with righteousness [06664], and the people [05971] with his truth [0530]. 19 97 1 The LORD [03068] reigneth [04427]; let the earth [0776] rejoice [01523]; let the multitude [07227] of isles [0339] be glad [08055] thereof. 19 97 2 Clouds [06051] and darkness [06205] are round about [05439] him: righteousness [06664] and judgment [04941] are the habitation [04349] of his throne [03678]. 19 97 3 A fire [0784] goeth [03212] before [06440] him, and burneth up [03857] his enemies [06862] round about [05439]. 19 97 4 His lightnings [01300] enlightened [0215] the world [08398]: the earth [0776] saw [07200], and trembled [02342]. 19 97 5 The hills [02022] melted [04549] like wax [01749] at the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0113] of the whole earth [0776]. 19 97 6 The heavens [08064] declare [05046] his righteousness [06664], and all the people [05971] see [07200] his glory [03519]. 19 97 7 Confounded [0954] be all they that serve [05647] graven images [06459], that boast [01984] themselves of idols [0457]: worship [07812] him, all ye gods [0430]. 19 97 8 Zion [06726] heard [08085], and was glad [08055]; and the daughters [01323] of Judah [03063] rejoiced [01523] because of thy judgments [04941], O LORD [03068]. 19 97 9 For thou, LORD [03068], art high above [05945] all the earth [0776]: thou art exalted [05927] far above [03966] all gods [0430]. 19 97 10 Ye that love [0157] the LORD [03068], hate [08130] evil [07451]: he preserveth [08104] the souls [05315] of his saints [02623]; he delivereth [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the wicked [07563]. 19 97 11 Light [0216] is sown [02232] for the righteous [06662], and gladness [08057] for the upright [03477] in heart [03820]. 19 97 12 Rejoice [08055] in the LORD [03068], ye righteous [06662]; and give thanks [03034] at the remembrance [02143] of his holiness [06944]. 19 98 1 A Psalm [04210]. O sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068] a new [02319] song [07892]; for he hath done [06213] marvellous things [06381]: his right hand [03225], and his holy [06944] arm [02220], hath gotten him the victory [03467]. 19 98 2 The LORD [03068] hath made known [03045] his salvation [03444]: his righteousness [06666] hath he openly shewed [01540] in the sight [05869] of the heathen [01471]. 19 98 3 He hath remembered [02142] his mercy [02617] and his truth [0530] toward the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776] have seen [07200] the salvation [03444] of our God [0430]. 19 98 4 Make a joyful noise [07321] unto the LORD [03068], all the earth [0776]: make a loud noise [06476], and rejoice [07442], and sing [02167] praise. 19 98 5 Sing [02167] unto the LORD [03068] with the harp [03658]; with the harp [03658], and the voice [06963] of a psalm [02172]. 19 98 6 With trumpets [02689] and sound [06963] of cornet [07782] make a joyful noise [07321] before [06440] the LORD [03068], the King [04428]. 19 98 7 Let the sea [03220] roar [07481], and the fulness [04393] thereof; the world [08398], and they that dwell [03427] therein. 19 98 8 Let the floods [05104] clap [04222] their hands [03709]: let the hills [02022] be joyful [07442] together [03162] 19 98 9 Before [06440] the LORD [03068]; for he cometh [0935] to judge [08199] the earth [0776]: with righteousness [06664] shall he judge [08199] the world [08398], and the people [05971] with equity [04339]. 19 99 1 The LORD [03068] reigneth [04427]; let the people [05971] tremble [07264]: he sitteth [03427] between the cherubims [03742]; let the earth [0776] be moved [05120]. 19 99 2 The LORD [03068] is great [01419] in Zion [06726]; and he is high [07311] above all the people [05971]. 19 99 3 Let them praise [03034] thy great [01419] and terrible [03372] name [08034]; for it is holy [06918]. 19 99 4 The king's [04428] strength [05797] also loveth [0157] judgment [04941]; thou dost establish [03559] equity [04339], thou executest [06213] judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666] in Jacob [03290]. 19 99 5 Exalt [07311] ye the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and worship [07812] at his footstool [07272] [01916]; for he is holy [06918]. 19 99 6 Moses [04872] and Aaron [0175] among his priests [03548], and Samuel [08050] among them that call [07121] upon his name [08034]; they called [07121] upon the LORD [03068], and he answered [06030] them. 19 99 7 He spake [01696] unto them in the cloudy [06051] pillar [05982]: they kept [08104] his testimonies [05713], and the ordinance [02706] that he gave [05414] them. 19 99 8 Thou answeredst [06030] them, O LORD [03068] our God [0430]: thou wast a God [0410] that forgavest [05375] them, though thou tookest vengeance [05358] of their inventions [05949]. 19 99 9 Exalt [07311] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and worship [07812] at his holy [06944] hill [02022]; for the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is holy [06918]. 19 100 1 A Psalm [04210] of praise [08426]. Make a joyful noise [07321] unto the LORD [03068], all ye lands [0776]. 19 100 2 Serve [05647] the LORD [03068] with gladness [08057]: come [0935] before his presence [06440] with singing [07445]. 19 100 3 Know [03045] ye that the LORD [03068] he is God [0430]: it is he that hath made [06213] us, and not we ourselves; we are his people [05971], and the sheep [06629] of his pasture [04830]. 19 100 4 Enter [0935] into his gates [08179] with thanksgiving [08426], and into his courts [02691] with praise [08416]: be thankful [03034] unto him, and bless [01288] his name [08034]. 19 100 5 For the LORD [03068] is good [02896]; his mercy [02617] is everlasting [05769]; and his truth [0530] endureth to all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 101 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. I will sing [07891] of mercy [02617] and judgment [04941]: unto thee, O LORD [03068], will I sing [02167]. 19 101 2 I will behave myself wisely [07919] in a perfect [08549] way [01870]. O when wilt thou come [0935] unto me? I will walk [01980] within [07130] my house [01004] with a perfect [08537] heart [03824]. 19 101 3 I will set [07896] no wicked [01100] thing [01697] before mine eyes [05869]: I hate [08130] the work [06213] of them that turn aside [07750]; it shall not cleave [01692] to me. 19 101 4 A froward [06141] heart [03824] shall depart [05493] from me: I will not know [03045] a wicked [07451] person. 19 101 5 Whoso privily [05643] slandereth [03960] [03960] his neighbour [07453], him will I cut off [06789]: him that hath an high [01362] look [05869] and a proud [07342] heart [03824] will not I suffer [03201]. 19 101 6 Mine eyes [05869] shall be upon the faithful [0539] of the land [0776], that they may dwell [03427] with me: he that walketh [01980] in a perfect [08549] way [01870], he shall serve [08334] me. 19 101 7 He that worketh [06213] deceit [07423] shall not dwell [03427] within [07130] my house [01004]: he that telleth [01696] lies [08267] shall not tarry [03559] in my sight [05869]. 19 101 8 I will early [01242] destroy [06789] all the wicked [07563] of the land [0776]; that I may cut off [03772] all wicked [0205] doers [06466] from the city [05892] of the LORD [03068]. 19 102 1 A Prayer [08605] of the afflicted [06041], when he is overwhelmed [05848], and poureth out [08210] his complaint [07879] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. Hear [08085] my prayer [08605], O LORD [03068], and let my cry [07775] come [0935] unto thee. 19 102 2 Hide [05641] not thy face [06440] from me in the day [03117] when I am in trouble [06862]; incline [05186] thine ear [0241] unto me: in the day [03117] when I call [07121] answer [06030] me speedily [04118]. 19 102 3 For my days [03117] are consumed [03615] like smoke [06227], and my bones [06106] are burned [02787] as an hearth [04168]. 19 102 4 My heart [03820] is smitten [05221], and withered [03001] like grass [06212]; so that I forget [07911] to eat [0398] my bread [03899]. 19 102 5 By reason of the voice [06963] of my groaning [0585] my bones [06106] cleave [01692] to my skin [01320]. 19 102 6 I am like [01819] a pelican [06893] of the wilderness [04057]: I am like an owl [03563] of the desert [02723]. 19 102 7 I watch [08245], and am as a sparrow [06833] alone [0909] upon the house top [01406]. 19 102 8 Mine enemies [0341] reproach [02778] me all the day [03117]; and they that are mad [01984] against me are sworn [07650] against me. 19 102 9 For I have eaten [0398] ashes [0665] like bread [03899], and mingled [04537] my drink [08249] with weeping [01065], 19 102 10 Because [06440] of thine indignation [02195] and thy wrath [07110]: for thou hast lifted me up [05375], and cast me down [07993]. 19 102 11 My days [03117] are like a shadow [06738] that declineth [05186]; and I am withered [03001] like grass [06212]. 19 102 12 But thou, O LORD [03068], shalt endure [03427] for ever [05769]; and thy remembrance [02143] unto all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 102 13 Thou shalt arise [06965], and have mercy [07355] upon Zion [06726]: for the time [06256] to favour [02603] her, yea, the set time [04150], is come [0935]. 19 102 14 For thy servants [05650] take pleasure [07521] in her stones [068], and favour [02603] the dust [06083] thereof. 19 102 15 So the heathen [01471] shall fear [03372] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and all the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] thy glory [03519]. 19 102 16 When the LORD [03068] shall build up [01129] Zion [06726], he shall appear [07200] in his glory [03519]. 19 102 17 He will regard [06437] the prayer [08605] of the destitute [06199], and not despise [0959] their prayer [08605]. 19 102 18 This shall be written [03789] for the generation [01755] to come [0314]: and the people [05971] which shall be created [01254] shall praise [01984] the LORD [03050]. 19 102 19 For he hath looked down [08259] from the height [04791] of his sanctuary [06944]; from heaven [08064] did the LORD [03068] behold [05027] the earth [0776]; 19 102 20 To hear [08085] the groaning [0603] of the prisoner [0615]; to loose [06605] those that are appointed [01121] to death [08546]; 19 102 21 To declare [05608] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] in Zion [06726], and his praise [08416] in Jerusalem [03389]; 19 102 22 When the people [05971] are gathered [06908] together [03162], and the kingdoms [04467], to serve [05647] the LORD [03068]. 19 102 23 He weakened [06031] my strength [03581] in the way [01870]; he shortened [07114] my days [03117]. 19 102 24 I said [0559], O my God [0410], take me not away [05927] in the midst [02677] of my days [03117]: thy years [08141] are throughout all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 102 25 Of old [06440] hast thou laid the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776]: and the heavens [08064] are the work [04639] of thy hands [03027]. 19 102 26 They shall perish [06], but thou shalt endure [05975]: yea, all of them shall wax old [01086] like a garment [0899]; as a vesture [03830] shalt thou change [02498] them, and they shall be changed [02498]: 19 102 27 But thou art the same, and thy years [08141] shall have no end [08552]. 19 102 28 The children [01121] of thy servants [05650] shall continue [07931], and their seed [02233] shall be established [03559] before [06440] thee. 19 103 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315]: and all that is within [07130] me, bless his holy [06944] name [08034]. 19 103 2 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315], and forget [07911] not all his benefits [01576]: 19 103 3 Who forgiveth [05545] all thine iniquities [05771]; who healeth [07495] all thy diseases [08463]; 19 103 4 Who redeemeth [01350] thy life [02416] from destruction [07845]; who crowneth [05849] thee with lovingkindness [02617] and tender mercies [07356]; 19 103 5 Who satisfieth [07646] thy mouth [05716] with good [02896] things; so that thy youth [05271] is renewed [02318] like the eagle's [05404]. 19 103 6 The LORD [03068] executeth [06213] righteousness [06666] and judgment [04941] for all that are oppressed [06231]. 19 103 7 He made known [03045] his ways [01870] unto Moses [04872], his acts [05949] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 19 103 8 The LORD [03068] is merciful [07349] and gracious [02587], slow [0750] to anger [0639], and plenteous [07227] in mercy [02617]. 19 103 9 He will not always [05331] chide [07378]: neither will he keep [05201] his anger for ever [05769]. 19 103 10 He hath not dealt [06213] with us after our sins [02399]; nor rewarded [01580] us according to our iniquities [05771]. 19 103 11 For as the heaven [08064] is high above [01361] the earth [0776], so great [01396] is his mercy [02617] toward them that fear [03373] him. 19 103 12 As far as [07368] the east [04217] is from the west [04628], so far hath he removed [07368] our transgressions [06588] from us. 19 103 13 Like as a father [01] pitieth [07355] his children [01121], so the LORD [03068] pitieth [07355] them that fear [03373] him. 19 103 14 For he knoweth [03045] our frame [03336]; he remembereth [02142] that we are dust [06083]. 19 103 15 As for man [0582], his days [03117] are as grass [02682]: as a flower [06731] of the field [07704], so he flourisheth [06692]. 19 103 16 For the wind [07307] passeth over [05674] it, and it is gone; and the place [04725] thereof shall know [05234] it no more. 19 103 17 But the mercy [02617] of the LORD [03068] is from everlasting [05769] to [05704] everlasting [05769] upon them that fear [03373] him, and his righteousness [06666] unto children's [01121] children [01121]; 19 103 18 To such as keep [08104] his covenant [01285], and to those that remember [02142] his commandments [06490] to do [06213] them. 19 103 19 The LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] his throne [03678] in the heavens [08064]; and his kingdom [04438] ruleth [04910] over all. 19 103 20 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], ye his angels [04397], that excel [01368] in strength [03581], that do [06213] his commandments [01697], hearkening [08085] unto the voice [06963] of his word [01697]. 19 103 21 Bless [01288] ye the LORD [03068], all ye his hosts [06635]; ye ministers [08334] of his, that do [06213] his pleasure [07522]. 19 103 22 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], all his works [04639] in all places [04725] of his dominion [04475]: bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315]. 19 104 1 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315]. O LORD [03068] my God [0430], thou art very [03966] great [01431]; thou art clothed [03847] with honour [01935] and majesty [01926]. 19 104 2 Who coverest [05844] thyself with light [0216] as with a garment [08008]: who stretchest out [05186] the heavens [08064] like a curtain [03407]: 19 104 3 Who layeth the beams [07136] of his chambers [05944] in the waters [04325]: who maketh [07760] the clouds [05645] his chariot [07398]: who walketh [01980] upon the wings [03671] of the wind [07307]: 19 104 4 Who maketh [06213] his angels [04397] spirits [07307]; his ministers [08334] a flaming [03857] fire [0784]: 19 104 5 Who laid [03245] the foundations [04349] of the earth [0776], that it should not be removed [04131] for ever [05769] [05703]. 19 104 6 Thou coveredst [03680] it with the deep [08415] as with a garment [03830]: the waters [04325] stood [05975] above the mountains [02022]. 19 104 7 At [04480] thy rebuke [01606] they fled [05127]; at the voice [06963] of thy thunder [07482] they hasted [02648] away. 19 104 8 They go up [05927] by the mountains [02022]; they go down [03381] by the valleys [01237] unto the place [04725] which [02088] thou hast founded [03245] for them. 19 104 9 Thou hast set [07760] a bound [01366] that they may not pass over [05674]; that they turn not again [07725] to cover [03680] the earth [0776]. 19 104 10 He sendeth [07971] the springs [04599] into the valleys [05158], which run [01980] among the hills [02022]. 19 104 11 They give drink [08248] to every beast [02416] of the field [07704]: the wild asses [06501] quench [07665] their thirst [06772]. 19 104 12 By them shall the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064] have their habitation [07931], which sing [05414] [06963] among [0996] the branches [06073]. 19 104 13 He watereth [08248] the hills [02022] from his chambers [05944]: the earth [0776] is satisfied [07646] with the fruit [06529] of thy works [04639]. 19 104 14 He causeth the grass [02682] to grow [06779] for the cattle [0929], and herb [06212] for the service [05656] of man [0120]: that he may bring forth [03318] food [03899] out of the earth [0776]; 19 104 15 And wine [03196] that maketh glad [08055] the heart [03824] of man [0582], and oil [08081] to make his face [06440] to shine [06670], and bread [03899] which strengtheneth [05582] man's [0582] heart [03824]. 19 104 16 The trees [06086] of the LORD [03068] are full [07646] of sap; the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844], which he hath planted [05193]; 19 104 17 Where the birds [06833] make their nests [07077]: as for the stork [02624], the fir trees [01265] are her house [01004]. 19 104 18 The high [01364] hills [02022] are a refuge [04268] for the wild goats [03277]; and the rocks [05553] for the conies [08227]. 19 104 19 He appointed [06213] the moon [03394] for seasons [04150]: the sun [08121] knoweth [03045] his going down [03996]. 19 104 20 Thou makest [07896] darkness [02822], and it is night [03915]: wherein all the beasts [02416] of the forest [03293] do creep [07430] forth. 19 104 21 The young lions [03715] roar [07580] after their prey [02964], and seek [01245] their meat [0400] from God [0410]. 19 104 22 The sun [08121] ariseth [02224], they gather themselves together [0622], and lay them down [07257] in their dens [04585]. 19 104 23 Man [0120] goeth forth [03318] unto his work [06467] and to his labour [05656] until the evening [06153]. 19 104 24 O LORD [03068], how manifold [07231] are thy works [04639]! in wisdom [02451] hast thou made [06213] them all: the earth [0776] is full [04390] of thy riches [07075]. 19 104 25 So is this great [01419] and wide [07342] [03027] sea [03220], wherein are things creeping [07431] innumerable [04557], both small [06996] and great [01419] beasts [02416]. 19 104 26 There go [01980] the ships [0591]: there is that leviathan [03882], whom thou hast made [03335] to play [07832] therein. 19 104 27 These wait [07663] all upon thee; that thou mayest give [05414] them their meat [0400] in due season [06256]. 19 104 28 That thou givest [05414] them they gather [03950]: thou openest [06605] thine hand [03027], they are filled [07646] with good [02896]. 19 104 29 Thou hidest [05641] thy face [06440], they are troubled [0926]: thou takest away [0622] their breath [07307], they die [01478], and return [07725] to their dust [06083]. 19 104 30 Thou sendest [07971] forth thy spirit [07307], they are created [01254]: and thou renewest [02318] the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 19 104 31 The glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] shall endure for ever [05769]: the LORD [03068] shall rejoice [08055] in his works [04639]. 19 104 32 He looketh [05027] on the earth [0776], and it trembleth [07460]: he toucheth [05060] the hills [02022], and they smoke [06225]. 19 104 33 I will sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068] as long as I live [02416]: I will sing [02167] praise to my God [0430] while I have my being [05750]. 19 104 34 My meditation [07879] of him shall be sweet [06149]: I will be glad [08055] in the LORD [03068]. 19 104 35 Let the sinners [02400] be consumed [08552] out of the earth [0776], and let the wicked [07563] be no more. Bless [01288] thou the LORD [03068], O my soul [05315]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 105 1 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; call [07121] upon his name [08034]: make known [03045] his deeds [05949] among the people [05971]. 19 105 2 Sing [07891] unto him, sing psalms [02167] unto him: talk [07878] ye of all his wondrous works [06381]. 19 105 3 Glory [01984] ye in his holy [06944] name [08034]: let the heart [03820] of them rejoice [08055] that seek [01245] the LORD [03068]. 19 105 4 Seek [01875] the LORD [03068], and his strength [05797]: seek [01245] his face [06440] evermore [08548]. 19 105 5 Remember [02142] his marvellous works [06381] that he hath done [06213]; his wonders [04159], and the judgments [04941] of his mouth [06310]; 19 105 6 O ye seed [02233] of Abraham [085] his servant [05650], ye children [01121] of Jacob [03290] his chosen [0972]. 19 105 7 He is the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: his judgments [04941] are in all the earth [0776]. 19 105 8 He hath remembered [02142] his covenant [01285] for ever [05769], the word [01697] which he commanded [06680] to a thousand [0505] generations [01755]. 19 105 9 Which covenant he made [03772] with Abraham [085], and his oath [07621] unto Isaac [03446]; 19 105 10 And confirmed [05975] the same unto Jacob [03290] for a law [02706], and to Israel [03478] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285]: 19 105 11 Saying [0559], Unto thee will I give [05414] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the lot [02256] of your inheritance [05159]: 19 105 12 When they were but a few men [04962] in number [04557]; yea, very few [04592], and strangers [01481] in it. 19 105 13 When they went [01980] from one nation [01471] to another, from one kingdom [04467] to another [0312] people [05971]; 19 105 14 He suffered [03240] no man [0120] to do them wrong [06231]: yea, he reproved [03198] kings [04428] for their sakes; 19 105 15 Saying, Touch [05060] not mine anointed [04899], and do my prophets [05030] no harm [07489]. 19 105 16 Moreover he called [07121] for a famine [07458] upon the land [0776]: he brake [07665] the whole staff [04294] of bread [03899]. 19 105 17 He sent [07971] a man [0376] before [06440] them, even Joseph [03130], who was sold [04376] for a servant [05650]: 19 105 18 Whose feet [07272] they hurt [06031] with fetters [03525]: he [05315] was laid [0935] in iron [01270]: 19 105 19 Until the time [06256] that his word [01697] came [0935]: the word [0565] of the LORD [03068] tried [06884] him. 19 105 20 The king [04428] sent [07971] and loosed [05425] him; even the ruler [04910] of the people [05971], and let him go free [06605]. 19 105 21 He made [07760] him lord [0113] of his house [01004], and ruler [04910] of all his substance [07075]: 19 105 22 To bind [0631] his princes [08269] at his pleasure [05315]; and teach his senators [02205] wisdom [02449]. 19 105 23 Israel [03478] also came [0935] into Egypt [04714]; and Jacob [03290] sojourned [01481] in the land [0776] of Ham [02526]. 19 105 24 And he increased [06509] his people [05971] greatly [03966]; and made them stronger [06105] than their enemies [06862]. 19 105 25 He turned [02015] their heart [03820] to hate [08130] his people [05971], to deal subtilly [05230] with his servants [05650]. 19 105 26 He sent [07971] Moses [04872] his servant [05650]; and Aaron [0175] whom he had chosen [0977]. 19 105 27 They shewed [07760] his signs [0226] [01697] among them, and wonders [04159] in the land [0776] of Ham [02526]. 19 105 28 He sent [07971] darkness [02822], and made it dark [02821]; and they rebelled [04784] not against his word [01697]. 19 105 29 He turned [02015] their waters [04325] into blood [01818], and slew [04191] their fish [01710]. 19 105 30 Their land [0776] brought forth [08317] frogs [06854] in abundance [08317], in the chambers [02315] of their kings [04428]. 19 105 31 He spake [0559], and there came [0935] divers sorts of flies [06157], and lice [03654] in all their coasts [01366]. 19 105 32 He gave [05414] them hail [01259] for rain [01653], and flaming [03852] fire [0784] in their land [0776]. 19 105 33 He smote [05221] their vines [01612] also and their fig trees [08384]; and brake [07665] the trees [06086] of their coasts [01366]. 19 105 34 He spake [0559], and the locusts [0697] came [0935], and caterpillers [03218], and that without number [04557], 19 105 35 And did eat up [0398] all the herbs [06212] in their land [0776], and devoured [0398] the fruit [06529] of their ground [0127]. 19 105 36 He smote [05221] also all the firstborn [01060] in their land [0776], the chief [07225] of all their strength [0202]. 19 105 37 He brought them forth [03318] also with silver [03701] and gold [02091]: and there was not one feeble [03782] person among their tribes [07626]. 19 105 38 Egypt [04714] was glad [08055] when they departed [03318]: for the fear [06343] of them fell [05307] upon them. 19 105 39 He spread [06566] a cloud [06051] for a covering [04539]; and fire [0784] to give light [0215] in the night [03915]. 19 105 40 The people asked [07592], and he brought [0935] quails [07958], and satisfied [07646] them with the bread [03899] of heaven [08064]. 19 105 41 He opened [06605] the rock [06697], and the waters [04325] gushed out [02100]; they ran [01980] in the dry places [06723] like a river [05104]. 19 105 42 For he remembered [02142] his holy [06944] promise [01697], and Abraham [085] his servant [05650]. 19 105 43 And he brought forth [03318] his people [05971] with joy [08342], and his chosen [0972] with gladness [07440]: 19 105 44 And gave [05414] them the lands [0776] of the heathen [01471]: and they inherited [03423] the labour [05999] of the people [03816]; 19 105 45 That they might observe [08104] his statutes [02706], and keep [05341] his laws [08451]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 106 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; for he is good [02896]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 106 2 Who can utter [04448] the mighty acts [01369] of the LORD [03068]? who can shew forth [08085] all his praise [08416]? 19 106 3 Blessed [0835] are they that keep [08104] judgment [04941], and he that doeth [06213] righteousness [06666] at all times [06256]. 19 106 4 Remember [02142] me, O LORD [03068], with the favour [07522] that thou bearest unto thy people [05971]: O visit [06485] me with thy salvation [03444]; 19 106 5 That I may see [07200] the good [02896] of thy chosen [0972], that I may rejoice [08055] in the gladness [08057] of thy nation [01471], that I may glory [01984] with thine inheritance [05159]. 19 106 6 We have sinned [02398] with our fathers [01], we have committed iniquity [05753], we have done wickedly [07561]. 19 106 7 Our fathers [01] understood [07919] not thy wonders [06381] in Egypt [04714]; they remembered [02142] not the multitude [07230] of thy mercies [02617]; but provoked [04784] him at the sea [03220], even at the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 19 106 8 Nevertheless he saved [03467] them for his name's [08034] sake, that he might make his mighty power [01369] to be known [03045]. 19 106 9 He rebuked [01605] the Red [05488] sea [03220] also, and it was dried up [02717]: so he led [03212] them through the depths [08415], as through the wilderness [04057]. 19 106 10 And he saved [03467] them from the hand [03027] of him that hated [08130] them, and redeemed [01350] them from the hand [03027] of the enemy [0341]. 19 106 11 And the waters [04325] covered [03680] their enemies [06862]: there was not one [0259] of them left [03498]. 19 106 12 Then believed [0539] they his words [01697]; they sang [07891] his praise [08416]. 19 106 13 They soon [04116] forgat [07911] his works [04639]; they waited [02442] not for his counsel [06098]: 19 106 14 But lusted [0183] exceedingly [08378] in the wilderness [04057], and tempted [05254] God [0410] in the desert [03452]. 19 106 15 And he gave [05414] them their request [07596]; but sent [07971] leanness [07332] into their soul [05315]. 19 106 16 They envied [07065] Moses [04872] also in the camp [04264], and Aaron [0175] the saint [06918] of the LORD [03068]. 19 106 17 The earth [0776] opened [06605] and swallowed up [01104] Dathan [01885], and covered [03680] the company [05712] of Abiram [048]. 19 106 18 And a fire [0784] was kindled [01197] in their company [05712]; the flame [03852] burned up [03857] the wicked [07563]. 19 106 19 They made [06213] a calf [05695] in Horeb [02722], and worshipped [07812] the molten image [04541]. 19 106 20 Thus they changed [04171] their glory [03519] into the similitude [08403] of an ox [07794] that eateth [0398] grass [06212]. 19 106 21 They forgat [07911] God [0410] their saviour [03467], which had done [06213] great things [01419] in Egypt [04714]; 19 106 22 Wondrous works [06381] in the land [0776] of Ham [02526], and terrible things [03372] by the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 19 106 23 Therefore he said [0559] that he would destroy [08045] them, had not [03884] Moses [04872] his chosen [0972] stood [05975] before [06440] him in the breach [06556], to turn away [07725] his wrath [02534], lest he should destroy [07843] them. 19 106 24 Yea, they despised [03988] the pleasant [02532] land [0776], they believed [0539] not his word [01697]: 19 106 25 But murmured [07279] in their tents [0168], and hearkened [08085] not unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]. 19 106 26 Therefore he lifted up [05375] his hand [03027] against them, to overthrow [05307] them in the wilderness [04057]: 19 106 27 To overthrow [05307] their seed [02233] also among the nations [01471], and to scatter [02219] them in the lands [0776]. 19 106 28 They joined [06775] themselves also unto Baalpeor [01187], and ate [0398] the sacrifices [02077] of the dead [04191]. 19 106 29 Thus they provoked him to anger [03707] with their inventions [04611]: and the plague [04046] brake in [06555] upon them. 19 106 30 Then stood up [05975] Phinehas [06372], and executed judgment [06419]: and so the plague [04046] was stayed [06113]. 19 106 31 And that was counted [02803] unto him for righteousness [06666] unto all [01755] generations [01755] for [05704] evermore [05769]. 19 106 32 They angered [07107] him also at the waters [04325] of strife [04808] [04809], so that it went ill [03415] with Moses [04872] for their sakes: 19 106 33 Because they provoked [04784] his spirit [07307], so that he spake unadvisedly [0981] with his lips [08193]. 19 106 34 They did not destroy [08045] the nations [05971], concerning whom the LORD [03068] commanded [0559] them: 19 106 35 But were mingled [06148] among the heathen [01471], and learned [03925] their works [04639]. 19 106 36 And they served [05647] their idols [06091]: which were a snare [04170] unto them. 19 106 37 Yea, they sacrificed [02076] their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] unto devils [07700], 19 106 38 And shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818], even the blood [01818] of their sons [01121] and of their daughters [01323], whom they sacrificed [02076] unto the idols [06091] of Canaan [03667]: and the land [0776] was polluted [02610] with blood [01818]. 19 106 39 Thus were they defiled [02930] with their own works [04639], and went a whoring [02181] with their own inventions [04611]. 19 106 40 Therefore was the wrath [0639] of the LORD [03068] kindled [02734] against his people [05971], insomuch that he abhorred [08581] his own inheritance [05159]. 19 106 41 And he gave [05414] them into the hand [03027] of the heathen [01471]; and they that hated [08130] them ruled [04910] over them. 19 106 42 Their enemies [0341] also oppressed [03905] them, and they were brought into subjection [03665] under their hand [03027]. 19 106 43 Many [07227] times [06471] did he deliver [05337] them; but they provoked [04784] him with their counsel [06098], and were brought low [04355] for their iniquity [05771]. 19 106 44 Nevertheless he regarded [07200] their affliction [06862], when he heard [08085] their cry [07440]: 19 106 45 And he remembered [02142] for them his covenant [01285], and repented [05162] according to the multitude [07230] of his mercies [02617]. 19 106 46 He made [05414] them also to be pitied [07356] of [06440] all those that carried them captives [07617]. 19 106 47 Save [03467] us, O LORD [03068] our God [0430], and gather [06908] us from among the heathen [01471], to give thanks [03034] unto thy holy [06944] name [08034], and to triumph [07623] in thy praise [08416]. 19 106 48 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] from everlasting [05769] to everlasting [05769]: and let all the people [05971] say [0559], Amen [0543]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 107 1 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068], for he is good [02896]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 107 2 Let the redeemed [01350] of the LORD [03068] say [0559] so, whom he hath redeemed [01350] from the hand [03027] of the enemy [06862]; 19 107 3 And gathered [06908] them out of the lands [0776], from the east [04217], and from the west [04628], from the north [06828], and from the south [03220]. 19 107 4 They wandered [08582] in the wilderness [04057] in a solitary [03452] way [01870]; they found [04672] no city [05892] to dwell [04186] in. 19 107 5 Hungry [07457] and thirsty [06771], their soul [05315] fainted [05848] in them. 19 107 6 Then they cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068] in their trouble [06862], and he delivered [05337] them out of their distresses [04691]. 19 107 7 And he led them forth [01869] by the right [03477] way [01870], that they might go [03212] to a city [05892] of habitation [04186]. 19 107 8 Oh that men would praise [03034] the LORD [03068] for his goodness [02617], and for his wonderful works [06381] to the children [01121] of men [0120]! 19 107 9 For he satisfieth [07646] the longing [08264] soul [05315], and filleth [04390] the hungry [07457] soul [05315] with goodness [02896]. 19 107 10 Such as sit [03427] in darkness [02822] and in the shadow of death [06757], being bound [0615] in affliction [06040] and iron [01270]; 19 107 11 Because they rebelled [04784] against the words [0561] of God [0410], and contemned [05006] the counsel [06098] of the most High [05945]: 19 107 12 Therefore he brought down [03665] their heart [03820] with labour [05999]; they fell down [03782], and there was none to help [05826]. 19 107 13 Then they cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068] in their trouble [06862], and he saved [03467] them out of their distresses [04691]. 19 107 14 He brought them out [03318] of darkness [02822] and the shadow of death [06757], and brake [05423] their bands [04147] in sunder [05423]. 19 107 15 Oh that men would praise [03034] the LORD [03068] for his goodness [02617], and for his wonderful works [06381] to the children [01121] of men [0120]! 19 107 16 For he hath broken [07665] the gates [01817] of brass [05178], and cut [01438] the bars [01280] of iron [01270] in sunder [01438]. 19 107 17 Fools [0191] because [01870] of their transgression [06588], and because of their iniquities [05771], are afflicted [06031]. 19 107 18 Their soul [05315] abhorreth [08581] all manner of meat [0400]; and they draw near [05060] unto the gates [08179] of death [04194]. 19 107 19 Then they cry [02199] unto the LORD [03068] in their trouble [06862], and he saveth [03467] them out of their distresses [04691]. 19 107 20 He sent [07971] his word [01697], and healed [07495] them, and delivered [04422] them from their destructions [07825]. 19 107 21 Oh that men would praise [03034] the LORD [03068] for his goodness [02617], and for his wonderful works [06381] to the children [01121] of men [0120]! 19 107 22 And let them sacrifice [02076] the sacrifices [02077] of thanksgiving [08426], and declare [05608] his works [04639] with rejoicing [07440]. 19 107 23 They that go down [03381] to the sea [03220] in ships [0591], that do [06213] business [04399] in great [07227] waters [04325]; 19 107 24 These see [07200] the works [04639] of the LORD [03068], and his wonders [06381] in the deep [04688]. 19 107 25 For he commandeth [0559], and raiseth [05975] the stormy [05591] wind [07307], which lifteth up [07311] the waves [01530] thereof. 19 107 26 They mount up [05927] to the heaven [08064], they go down [03381] again to the depths [08415]: their soul [05315] is melted [04127] because of trouble [07451]. 19 107 27 They reel to and fro [02287], and stagger [05128] like a drunken man [07910], and are at their wits [02451]' end [01104]. 19 107 28 Then they cry [06817] unto the LORD [03068] in their trouble [06862], and he bringeth them out [03318] of their distresses [04691]. 19 107 29 He maketh [06965] the storm [05591] a calm [01827], so that the waves [01530] thereof are still [02814]. 19 107 30 Then are they glad [08055] because they be quiet [08367]; so he bringeth [05148] them unto their desired [02656] haven [04231]. 19 107 31 Oh that men would praise [03034] the LORD [03068] for his goodness [02617], and for his wonderful works [06381] to the children [01121] of men [0120]! 19 107 32 Let them exalt [07311] him also in the congregation [06951] of the people [05971], and praise [01984] him in the assembly [04186] of the elders [02205]. 19 107 33 He turneth [07760] rivers [05104] into a wilderness [04057], and the watersprings [04325] [04161] into dry ground [06774]; 19 107 34 A fruitful [06529] land [0776] into barrenness [04420], for the wickedness [07451] of them that dwell [03427] therein. 19 107 35 He turneth [07760] the wilderness [04057] into a standing [098] water [04325], and dry [06723] ground [0776] into watersprings [04325] [04161]. 19 107 36 And there he maketh the hungry [07457] to dwell [03427], that they may prepare [03559] a city [05892] for habitation [04186]; 19 107 37 And sow [02232] the fields [07704], and plant [05193] vineyards [03754], which may yield [06213] fruits [06529] of increase [08393]. 19 107 38 He blesseth [01288] them also, so that they are multiplied [07235] greatly [03966]; and suffereth [04591] not their cattle [0929] to decrease [04591]. 19 107 39 Again, they are minished [04591] and brought low [07817] through oppression [06115], affliction [07451], and sorrow [03015]. 19 107 40 He poureth [08210] contempt [0937] upon princes [05081], and causeth them to wander [08582] in the wilderness [08414], where there is no way [01870]. 19 107 41 Yet setteth he the poor [034] on high [07682] from affliction [06040], and maketh [07760] him families [04940] like a flock [06629]. 19 107 42 The righteous [03477] shall see [07200] it, and rejoice [08055]: and all iniquity [05766] shall stop [07092] her mouth [06310]. 19 107 43 Whoso is wise [02450], and will observe [08104] these things, even they shall understand [0995] the lovingkindness [02617] of the LORD [03068]. 19 108 1 A Song [07892] or Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O God [0430], my heart [03820] is fixed [03559]; I will sing [07891] and give praise [02167], even with my glory [03519]. 19 108 2 Awake [05782], psaltery [05035] and harp [03658]: I myself will awake [05782] early [07837]. 19 108 3 I will praise [03034] thee, O LORD [03068], among the people [05971]: and I will sing praises [02167] unto thee among the nations [03816]. 19 108 4 For thy mercy [02617] is great [01419] above the heavens [08064]: and thy truth [0571] reacheth unto the clouds [07834]. 19 108 5 Be thou exalted [07311], O God [0430], above the heavens [08064]: and thy glory [03519] above all the earth [0776]; 19 108 6 That thy beloved [03039] may be delivered [02502]: save [03467] with thy right hand [03225], and answer [06030] me. 19 108 7 God [0430] hath spoken [01696] in his holiness [06944]; I will rejoice [05937], I will divide [02505] Shechem [07927], and mete out [04058] the valley [06010] of Succoth [05523]. 19 108 8 Gilead [01568] is mine; Manasseh [04519] is mine; Ephraim [0669] also is the strength [04581] of mine head [07218]; Judah [03063] is my lawgiver [02710]; 19 108 9 Moab [04124] is my washpot [07366] [05518]; over Edom [0123] will I cast out [07993] my shoe [05275]; over Philistia [06429] will I triumph [07321]. 19 108 10 Who will bring [02986] me into the strong [04013] city [05892]? who will lead [05148] me into Edom [0123]? 19 108 11 Wilt not thou, O God [0430], who hast cast us off [02186]? and wilt not thou, O God [0430], go forth [03318] with our hosts [06635]? 19 108 12 Give [03051] us help [05833] from trouble [06862]: for vain [07723] is the help [08668] of man [0120]. 19 108 13 Through God [0430] we shall do [06213] valiantly [02428]: for he it is that shall tread down [0947] our enemies [06862]. 19 109 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Hold not thy peace [02790], O God [0430] of my praise [08416]; 19 109 2 For the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563] and the mouth [06310] of the deceitful [04820] are opened [06605] against me: they have spoken [01696] against me with a lying [08267] tongue [03956]. 19 109 3 They compassed [05437] me about also with words [01697] of hatred [08135]; and fought [03898] against me without a cause [02600]. 19 109 4 For my love [0160] they are my adversaries [07853]: but I give myself unto prayer [08605]. 19 109 5 And they have rewarded [07760] me evil [07451] for good [02896], and hatred [08135] for my love [0160]. 19 109 6 Set [06485] thou a wicked man [07563] over him: and let Satan [07854] stand [05975] at his right hand [03225]. 19 109 7 When he shall be judged [08199], let him be [03318] condemned [07563]: and let his prayer [08605] become sin [02401]. 19 109 8 Let his days [03117] be few [04592]; and let another [0312] take [03947] his office [06486]. 19 109 9 Let his children [01121] be fatherless [03490], and his wife [0802] a widow [0490]. 19 109 10 Let his children [01121] be continually [05128] vagabonds [05128], and beg [07592]: let them seek [01875] their bread also out of their desolate places [02723]. 19 109 11 Let the extortioner [05383] catch [05367] all that he hath; and let the strangers [02114] spoil [0962] his labour [03018]. 19 109 12 Let there be none to extend [04900] mercy [02617] unto him: neither let there be any to favour [02603] his fatherless children [03490]. 19 109 13 Let his posterity [0319] be cut off [03772]; and in the generation [01755] following [0312] let their name [08034] be blotted out [04229]. 19 109 14 Let the iniquity [05771] of his fathers [01] be remembered [02142] with the LORD [03068]; and let not the sin [02403] of his mother [0517] be blotted out [04229]. 19 109 15 Let them be before the LORD [03068] continually [08548], that he may cut off [03772] the memory [02143] of them from the earth [0776]. 19 109 16 Because that he remembered [02142] not to shew [06213] mercy [02617], but persecuted [07291] the poor [06041] and needy [034] man [0376], that he might even slay [04191] the broken [03512] in heart [03824]. 19 109 17 As he loved [0157] cursing [07045], so let it come [0935] unto him: as he delighted [02654] not in blessing [01293], so let it be far [07368] from him. 19 109 18 As he clothed [03847] himself with cursing [07045] like as with his garment [04055], so let it come [0935] into his bowels [07130] like water [04325], and like oil [08081] into his bones [06106]. 19 109 19 Let it be unto him as the garment [0899] which covereth [05844] him, and for a girdle [04206] wherewith he is girded [02296] continually [08548]. 19 109 20 Let this be the reward [06468] of mine adversaries [07853] from the LORD [03068], and of them that speak [01696] evil [07451] against my soul [05315]. 19 109 21 But do [06213] thou for me, O GOD [03069] the Lord [0136], for thy name's [08034] sake: because thy mercy [02617] is good [02896], deliver [05337] thou me. 19 109 22 For I am poor [06041] and needy [034], and my heart [03820] is wounded [02490] within [07130] me. 19 109 23 I am gone [01980] like the shadow [06738] when it declineth [05186]: I am tossed up and down [05287] as the locust [0697]. 19 109 24 My knees [01290] are weak [03782] through fasting [06685]; and my flesh [01320] faileth [03584] of fatness [08081]. 19 109 25 I became also a reproach [02781] unto them: when they looked [07200] upon me they shaked [05128] their heads [07218]. 19 109 26 Help [05826] me, O LORD [03068] my God [0430]: O save [03467] me according to thy mercy [02617]: 19 109 27 That they may know [03045] that this is thy hand [03027]; that thou, LORD [03068], hast done [06213] it. 19 109 28 Let them curse [07043], but bless [01288] thou: when they arise [06965], let them be ashamed [0954]; but let thy servant [05650] rejoice [08055]. 19 109 29 Let mine adversaries [07853] be clothed [03847] with shame [03639], and let them cover [05844] themselves with their own confusion [01322], as with a mantle [04598]. 19 109 30 I will greatly [03966] praise [03034] the LORD [03068] with my mouth [06310]; yea, I will praise [01984] him among [08432] the multitude [07227]. 19 109 31 For he shall stand [05975] at the right hand [03225] of the poor [034], to save [03467] him from those that condemn [08199] his soul [05315]. 19 110 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] said [05002] unto my Lord [0113], Sit [03427] thou at my right hand [03225], until I make [07896] thine enemies [0341] thy footstool [01916] [07272]. 19 110 2 The LORD [03068] shall send [07971] the rod [04294] of thy strength [05797] out of Zion [06726]: rule [07287] thou in the midst [07130] of thine enemies [0341]. 19 110 3 Thy people [05971] shall be willing [05071] in the day [03117] of thy power [02428], in the beauties [01926] of holiness [06944] from the womb [07358] of the morning [04891]: thou hast the dew [02919] of thy youth [03208]. 19 110 4 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650], and will not repent [05162], Thou art a priest [03548] for ever [05769] after the order [01700] of Melchizedek [04442]. 19 110 5 The Lord [0136] at thy right hand [03225] shall strike [04272] through kings [04428] in the day [03117] of his wrath [0639]. 19 110 6 He shall judge [01777] among the heathen [01471], he shall fill [04390] the places with the dead bodies [01472]; he shall wound [04272] the heads [07218] over many [07227] countries [0776]. 19 110 7 He shall drink [08354] of the brook [05158] in the way [01870]: therefore shall he lift up [07311] the head [07218]. 19 111 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. I will praise [03034] the LORD [03068] with my whole heart [03824], in the assembly [05475] of the upright [03477], and in the congregation [05712]. 19 111 2 The works [04639] of the LORD [03068] are great [01419], sought out [01875] of all them that have pleasure [02656] therein. 19 111 3 His work [06467] is honourable [01935] and glorious [01926]: and his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]. 19 111 4 He hath made [06213] his wonderful works [06381] to be remembered [02143]: the LORD [03068] is gracious [02587] and full of compassion [07349]. 19 111 5 He hath given [05414] meat [02964] unto them that fear [03373] him: he will ever [05769] be mindful [02142] of his covenant [01285]. 19 111 6 He hath shewed [05046] his people [05971] the power [03581] of his works [04639], that he may give [05414] them the heritage [05159] of the heathen [01471]. 19 111 7 The works [04639] of his hands [03027] are verity [0571] and judgment [04941]; all his commandments [06490] are sure [0539]. 19 111 8 They stand fast [05564] for ever [05703] and ever [05769], and are done [06213] in truth [0571] and uprightness [03477]. 19 111 9 He sent [07971] redemption [06304] unto his people [05971]: he hath commanded [06680] his covenant [01285] for ever [05769]: holy [06918] and reverend [03372] is his name [08034]. 19 111 10 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [07225] of wisdom [02451]: a good [02896] understanding [07922] have all they that do [06213] his commandments: his praise [08416] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]. 19 112 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. Blessed [0835] is the man [0376] that feareth [03372] the LORD [03068], that delighteth [02654] greatly [03966] in his commandments [04687]. 19 112 2 His seed [02233] shall be mighty [01368] upon earth [0776]: the generation [01755] of the upright [03477] shall be blessed [01288]. 19 112 3 Wealth [01952] and riches [06239] shall be in his house [01004]: and his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]. 19 112 4 Unto the upright [03477] there ariseth [02224] light [0216] in the darkness [02822]: he is gracious [02587], and full of compassion [07349], and righteous [06662]. 19 112 5 A good [02896] man [0376] sheweth favour [02603], and lendeth [03867]: he will guide [03557] his affairs [01697] with discretion [04941]. 19 112 6 Surely he shall not be moved [04131] for ever [05769]: the righteous [06662] shall be in everlasting [05769] remembrance [02143]. 19 112 7 He shall not be afraid [03372] of evil [07451] tidings [08052]: his heart [03820] is fixed [03559], trusting [0982] in the LORD [03068]. 19 112 8 His heart [03820] is established [05564], he shall not be afraid [03372], until he see [07200] his desire upon his enemies [06862]. 19 112 9 He hath dispersed [06340], he hath given [05414] to the poor [034]; his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703]; his horn [07161] shall be exalted [07311] with honour [03519]. 19 112 10 The wicked [07563] shall see [07200] it, and be grieved [03707]; he shall gnash [02786] with his teeth [08127], and melt away [04549]: the desire [08378] of the wicked [07563] shall perish [06]. 19 113 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. Praise [01984], O ye servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], praise [01984] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 19 113 2 Blessed [01288] be the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] from this time forth [06258] and for [05704] evermore [05769]. 19 113 3 From the rising [04217] of the sun [08121] unto the going down [03996] of the same the LORD'S [03068] name [08034] is to be praised [01984]. 19 113 4 The LORD [03068] is high [07311] above all nations [01471], and his glory [03519] above the heavens [08064]. 19 113 5 Who is like unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430], who dwelleth [03427] on high [01361], 19 113 6 Who humbleth [08213] himself to behold [07200] the things that are in heaven [08064], and in the earth [0776]! 19 113 7 He raiseth up [06965] the poor [01800] out of the dust [06083], and lifteth [07311] the needy [034] out of the dunghill [0830]; 19 113 8 That he may set [03427] him with princes [05081], even with the princes [05081] of his people [05971]. 19 113 9 He maketh the barren woman [06135] to keep [03427] house [01004], and to be a joyful [08056] mother [0517] of children [01121]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 114 1 When Israel [03478] went out [03318] of Egypt [04714], the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] from a people [05971] of strange language [03937]; 19 114 2 Judah [03063] was his sanctuary [06944], and Israel [03478] his dominion [04475]. 19 114 3 The sea [03220] saw [07200] it, and fled [05127]: Jordan [03383] was driven [05437] back [0268]. 19 114 4 The mountains [02022] skipped [07540] like rams [0352], and the little hills [01389] like lambs [01121] [06629]. 19 114 5 What ailed thee, O thou sea [03220], that thou fleddest [05127]? thou Jordan [03383], that thou wast driven [05437] back [0268]? 19 114 6 Ye mountains [02022], that ye skipped [07540] like rams [0352]; and ye little hills [01389], like lambs [01121] [06629]? 19 114 7 Tremble [02342], thou earth [0776], at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0113], at the presence [06440] of the God [0433] of Jacob [03290]; 19 114 8 Which turned [02015] the rock [06697] into a standing [098] water [04325], the flint [02496] into a fountain [04599] of waters [04325]. 19 115 1 Not unto us, O LORD [03068], not unto us, but unto thy name [08034] give [05414] glory [03519], for thy mercy [02617], and for thy truth's [0571] sake. 19 115 2 Wherefore should the heathen [01471] say [0559], Where is now their God [0430]? 19 115 3 But our God [0430] is in the heavens [08064]: he hath done [06213] whatsoever he hath pleased [02654]. 19 115 4 Their idols [06091] are silver [03701] and gold [02091], the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027]. 19 115 5 They have mouths [06310], but they speak [01696] not: eyes [05869] have they, but they see [07200] not: 19 115 6 They have ears [0241], but they hear [08085] not: noses [0639] have they, but they smell [07306] not: 19 115 7 They have hands [03027], but they handle [04184] not: feet [07272] have they, but they walk [01980] not: neither speak [01897] they through their throat [01627]. 19 115 8 They that make [06213] them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth [0982] in them. 19 115 9 O Israel [03478], trust [0982] thou in the LORD [03068]: he is their help [05828] and their shield [04043]. 19 115 10 O house [01004] of Aaron [0175], trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]: he is their help [05828] and their shield [04043]. 19 115 11 Ye that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], trust [0982] in the LORD [03068]: he is their help [05828] and their shield [04043]. 19 115 12 The LORD [03068] hath been mindful [02142] of us: he will bless [01288] us; he will bless [01288] the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; he will bless [01288] the house [01004] of Aaron [0175]. 19 115 13 He will bless [01288] them that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], both small [06996] and great [01419]. 19 115 14 The LORD [03068] shall increase [03254] you more and more, you and your children [01121]. 19 115 15 Ye are blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068] which made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776]. 19 115 16 The heaven [08064], even the heavens [08064], are the LORD'S [03068]: but the earth [0776] hath he given [05414] to the children [01121] of men [0120]. 19 115 17 The dead [04191] praise [01984] not the LORD [03050], neither any that go down [03381] into silence [01745]. 19 115 18 But we will bless [01288] the LORD [03050] from this time forth and for [05704] evermore [05769]. Praise [01984] the LORD [03050]. 19 116 1 I love [0157] the LORD [03068], because he hath heard [08085] my voice [06963] and my supplications [08469]. 19 116 2 Because he hath inclined [05186] his ear [0241] unto me, therefore will I call [07121] upon him as long as I live [03117]. 19 116 3 The sorrows [02256] of death [04194] compassed [0661] me, and the pains [04712] of hell [07585] gat hold [04672] upon me: I found [04672] trouble [06869] and sorrow [03015]. 19 116 4 Then called [07121] I upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]; O LORD [03068], I beseech [0577] thee, deliver [04422] my soul [05315]. 19 116 5 Gracious [02587] is the LORD [03068], and righteous [06662]; yea, our God [0430] is merciful [07355]. 19 116 6 The LORD [03068] preserveth [08104] the simple [06612]: I was brought low [01809], and he helped [03467] me. 19 116 7 Return [07725] unto thy rest [04494], O my soul [05315]; for the LORD [03068] hath dealt bountifully [01580] with thee. 19 116 8 For thou hast delivered [02502] my soul [05315] from death [04194], mine eyes [05869] from tears [01832], and my feet [07272] from falling [01762]. 19 116 9 I will walk [01980] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 19 116 10 I believed [0539], therefore have I spoken [01696]: I was greatly [03966] afflicted [06031]: 19 116 11 I said [0559] in my haste [02648], All men [0120] are liars [03576]. 19 116 12 What shall I render [07725] unto the LORD [03068] for all his benefits [08408] toward me? 19 116 13 I will take [05375] the cup [03563] of salvation [03444], and call [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 19 116 14 I will pay [07999] my vows [05088] unto the LORD [03068] now in the presence of all his people [05971]. 19 116 15 Precious [03368] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] is the death [04194] of his saints [02623]. 19 116 16 O LORD [03068], truly [0577] I am thy servant [05650]; I am thy servant [05650], and the son [01121] of thine handmaid [0519]: thou hast loosed [06605] my bonds [04147]. 19 116 17 I will offer [02076] to thee the sacrifice [02077] of thanksgiving [08426], and will call [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 19 116 18 I will pay [07999] my vows [05088] unto the LORD [03068] now in the presence of all his people [05971], 19 116 19 In the courts [02691] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], in the midst [08432] of thee, O Jerusalem [03389]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 117 1 O praise [01984] the LORD [03068], all ye nations [01471]: praise [07623] him, all ye people [0523]. 19 117 2 For his merciful [02617] kindness [02617] is great [01396] toward us: and the truth [0571] of the LORD [03068] endureth for ever [05769]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 118 1 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; for he is good [02896]: because his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 118 2 Let Israel [03478] now say [0559], that his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 118 3 Let the house [01004] of Aaron [0175] now say [0559], that his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 118 4 Let them now that fear [03373] the LORD [03068] say [0559], that his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 118 5 I called [07121] upon the LORD [03050] in distress [04712]: the LORD [03050] answered [06030] me, and set me in a large place [04800]. 19 118 6 The LORD [03068] is on my side; I will not fear [03372]: what can [06213] man [0120] do [06213] unto me? 19 118 7 The LORD [03068] taketh my part with them that help [05826] me: therefore shall I see [07200] my desire upon them that hate [08130] me. 19 118 8 It is better [02896] to trust [02620] in the LORD [03068] than to put confidence [0982] in man [0120]. 19 118 9 It is better [02896] to trust [02620] in the LORD [03068] than to put confidence [0982] in princes [05081]. 19 118 10 All nations [01471] compassed me about [05437]: but in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] will I destroy [04135] them. 19 118 11 They compassed me about [05437]; yea, they compassed me about [05437]: but in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] I will destroy [04135] them. 19 118 12 They compassed me about [05437] like bees [01682]; they are quenched [01846] as the fire [0784] of thorns [06975]: for in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] I will destroy [04135] them. 19 118 13 Thou hast thrust [01760] sore [01760] at me that I might fall [05307]: but the LORD [03068] helped [05826] me. 19 118 14 The LORD [03050] is my strength [05797] and song [02176], and is become my salvation [03444]. 19 118 15 The voice [06963] of rejoicing [07440] and salvation [03444] is in the tabernacles [0168] of the righteous [06662]: the right hand [03225] of the LORD [03068] doeth [06213] valiantly [02428]. 19 118 16 The right hand [03225] of the LORD [03068] is exalted [07426]: the right hand [03225] of the LORD [03068] doeth [06213] valiantly [02428]. 19 118 17 I shall not die [04191], but live [02421], and declare [05608] the works [04639] of the LORD [03050]. 19 118 18 The LORD [03050] hath chastened [03256] me sore [03256]: but he hath not given me over [05414] unto death [04194]. 19 118 19 Open [06605] to me the gates [08179] of righteousness [06664]: I will go [0935] into them, and I will praise [03034] the LORD [03050]: 19 118 20 This gate [08179] of the LORD [03068], into which the righteous [06662] shall enter [0935]. 19 118 21 I will praise [03034] thee: for thou hast heard [06030] me, and art become my salvation [03444]. 19 118 22 The stone [068] which the builders [01129] refused [03988] is become the head [07218] stone of the corner [06438]. 19 118 23 This is the LORD'S [03068] doing; it is marvellous [06381] in our eyes [05869]. 19 118 24 This is the day [03117] which the LORD [03068] hath made [06213]; we will rejoice [01523] and be glad [08055] in it. 19 118 25 Save [03467] now, I beseech [0577] thee, O LORD [03068]: O LORD [03068], I beseech [0577] thee, send now prosperity [06743]. 19 118 26 Blessed [01288] be he that cometh [0935] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]: we have blessed [01288] you out of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 19 118 27 God [0410] is the LORD [03068], which hath shewed us light [0215]: bind [0631] the sacrifice [02282] with cords [05688], even unto the horns [07161] of the altar [04196]. 19 118 28 Thou art my God [0410], and I will praise [03034] thee: thou art my God [0430], I will exalt [07311] thee. 19 118 29 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; for he is good [02896]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 119 1 ALEPH. Blessed [0835] are the undefiled [08549] in the way [01870], who walk [01980] in the law [08451] of the LORD [03068]. 19 119 2 Blessed [0835] are they that keep [05341] his testimonies [05713], and that seek [01875] him with the whole heart [03820]. 19 119 3 They also do [06466] no iniquity [05766]: they walk [01980] in his ways [01870]. 19 119 4 Thou hast commanded [06680] us to keep [08104] thy precepts [06490] diligently [03966]. 19 119 5 O that [0305] my ways [01870] were directed [03559] to keep [08104] thy statutes [02706]! 19 119 6 Then shall I not be ashamed [0954], when I have respect [05027] unto all thy commandments [04687]. 19 119 7 I will praise [03034] thee with uprightness [03476] of heart [03824], when I shall have learned [03925] thy righteous [06664] judgments [04941]. 19 119 8 I will keep [08104] thy statutes [02706]: O forsake [05800] me not utterly [03966]. 19 119 9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man [05288] cleanse [02135] his way [0734]? by taking heed [08104] thereto according to thy word [01697]. 19 119 10 With my whole heart [03820] have I sought [01875] thee: O let me not wander [07686] from thy commandments [04687]. 19 119 11 Thy word [0565] have I hid [06845] in mine heart [03820], that I might not sin [02398] against thee. 19 119 12 Blessed [01288] art thou, O LORD [03068]: teach [03925] me thy statutes [02706]. 19 119 13 With my lips [08193] have I declared [05608] all the judgments [04941] of thy mouth [06310]. 19 119 14 I have rejoiced [07797] in the way [01870] of thy testimonies [05715], as much as in [05921] all riches [01952]. 19 119 15 I will meditate [07878] in thy precepts [06490], and have respect [05027] unto thy ways [0734]. 19 119 16 I will delight [08173] myself in thy statutes [02708]: I will not forget [07911] thy word [01697]. 19 119 17 GIMEL.

Princes [08269] have persecuted [07291] me without a cause [02600]: but my heart [03820] standeth in awe [06342] of thy word [01697]. 19 119 162 I rejoice [07797] at thy word [0565], as one that findeth [04672] great [07227] spoil [07998]. 19 119 163 I hate [08130] and abhor [08581] lying [08267]: but thy law [08451] do I love [0157]. 19 119 164 Seven times [07651] a day [03117] do I praise [01984] thee because of thy righteous [06664] judgments [04941]. 19 119 165 Great [07227] peace [07965] have they which love [0157] thy law [08451]: and nothing shall offend [04383] them. 19 119 166 LORD [03068], I have hoped [07663] for thy salvation [03444], and done [06213] thy commandments [04687]. 19 119 167 My soul [05315] hath kept [08104] thy testimonies [05713]; and I love [0157] them exceedingly [03966]. 19 119 168 I have kept [08104] thy precepts [06490] and thy testimonies [05713]: for all my ways [01870] are before thee. 19 119 169 TAU. Let my cry [07440] come near [07126] before [06440] thee, O LORD [03068]: give me understanding [0995] according to thy word [01697]. 19 119 170 Let my supplication [08467] come [0935] before [06440] thee: deliver [05337] me according to thy word [0565]. 19 119 171 My lips [08193] shall utter [05042] praise [08416], when thou hast taught [03925] me thy statutes [02706]. 19 119 172 My tongue [03956] shall speak [06030] of thy word [0565]: for all thy commandments [04687] are righteousness [06664]. 19 119 173 Let thine hand [03027] help [05826] me; for I have chosen [0977] thy precepts [06490]. 19 119 174 I have longed [08373] for thy salvation [03444], O LORD [03068]; and thy law [08451] is my delight [08191]. 19 119 175 Let my soul [05315] live [02421], and it shall praise [01984] thee; and let thy judgments [04941] help [05826] me. 19 119 176 I have gone astray [08582] like a lost [06] sheep [07716]; seek [01245] thy servant [05650]; for I do not forget [07911] thy commandments [04687]. 19 120 1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609].

When the LORD [03068] turned again [07725] the captivity [07870] of Zion [06726], we were like them that dream [02492]. 19 126 2 Then was our mouth [06310] filled [04390] with laughter [07814], and our tongue [03956] with singing [07440]: then said [0559] they among the heathen [01471], The LORD [03068] hath done [06213] great things [01431] for them. 19 126 3 The LORD [03068] hath done [06213] great things [01431] for us; whereof we are glad [08056]. 19 126 4 Turn again [07725] our captivity [07622] [07622], O LORD [03068], as the streams [0650] in the south [05045]. 19 126 5 They that sow [02232] in tears [01832] shall reap [07114] in joy [07440]. 19 126 6 He that goeth [03212] forth [01980] and weepeth [01058], bearing [05375] precious [04901] seed [02233], shall doubtless [0935] come [0935] again with rejoicing [07440], bringing [05375] his sheaves [0485] with him. 19 127 1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609] for Solomon [08010].

LORD [03068], my heart [03820] is not haughty [01361], nor mine eyes [05869] lofty [07311]: neither do I exercise [01980] myself in great matters [01419], or in things too high [06381] for me. 19 131 2 Surely I have behaved [07737] and quieted [01826] myself [05315], as a child that is weaned [01580] of his mother [0517]: my soul [05315] is even as a weaned child [01580]. 19 131 3 Let Israel [03478] hope [03176] in the LORD [03068] from henceforth and for [05704] ever [05769]. 19 132 1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609]. LORD [03068], remember [02142] David [01732], and all his afflictions [06031]: 19 132 2 How he sware [07650] unto the LORD [03068], and vowed [05087] unto the mighty [046] God of Jacob [03290]; 19 132 3 Surely I will not come [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of my house [01004], nor go up [05927] into my bed [06210] [03326]; 19 132 4 I will not give [05414] sleep [08153] to mine eyes [05869], or slumber [08572] to mine eyelids [06079], 19 132 5 Until I find out [04672] a place [04725] for the LORD [03068], an habitation [04908] for the mighty [046] God of Jacob [03290]. 19 132 6 Lo, we heard [08085] of it at Ephratah [0672]: we found [04672] it in the fields [07704] of the wood [03293]. 19 132 7 We will go [0935] into his tabernacles [04908]: we will worship [07812] at his footstool [01916] [07272]. 19 132 8 Arise [06965], O LORD [03068], into thy rest [04496]; thou, and the ark [0727] of thy strength [05797]. 19 132 9 Let thy priests [03548] be clothed [03847] with righteousness [06664]; and let thy saints [02623] shout for joy [07442]. 19 132 10 For thy servant [05650] David's [01732] sake turn not away [07725] the face [06440] of thine anointed [04899]. 19 132 11 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] in truth [0571] unto David [01732]; he will not turn [07725] from it; Of the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990] will I set [07896] upon thy throne [03678]. 19 132 12 If thy children [01121] will keep [08104] my covenant [01285] and my testimony [05713] that [02090] [02097] I shall teach [03925] them, their children [01121] shall also sit [03427] upon thy throne [03678] for evermore [05703]. 19 132 13 For the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] Zion [06726]; he hath desired [0183] it for his habitation [04186]. 19 132 14 This is my rest [04496] for ever [05703]: here will I dwell [03427]; for I have desired [0183] it. 19 132 15 I will abundantly [01288] bless [01288] her provision [06718]: I will satisfy [07646] her poor [034] with bread [03899]. 19 132 16 I will also clothe [03847] her priests [03548] with salvation [03468]: and her saints [02623] shall shout aloud [07442] for joy [07444]. 19 132 17 There will I make [06779] the horn [07161] of David [01732] to bud [06779]: I have ordained [06186] a lamp [05216] for mine anointed [04899]. 19 132 18 His enemies [0341] will I clothe [03847] with shame [01322]: but upon himself shall his crown [05145] flourish [06692]. 19 133 1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609] of David [01732]. Behold, how good [02896] and how pleasant [05273] it is for brethren [0251] to dwell [03427] together [03162] in unity [03162]! 19 133 2 It is like the precious [02896] ointment [08081] upon the head [07218], that ran down [03381] upon the beard [02206], even Aaron's [0175] beard [02206]: that went down [03381] to the skirts [06310] of his garments [04060]; 19 133 3 As the dew [02919] of Hermon [02768], and as the dew that descended [03381] upon the mountains [02042] of Zion [06726]: for there the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] the blessing [01293], even life [02416] for evermore [05769]. 19 134 1 A Song [07892] of degrees [04609]. Behold, bless [01288] ye the LORD [03068], all ye servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], which by night [03915] stand [05975] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 19 134 2 Lift up [05375] your hands [03027] in the sanctuary [06944], and bless [01288] the LORD [03068]. 19 134 3 The LORD [03068] that made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776] bless [01288] thee out of Zion [06726]. 19 135 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. Praise [01984] ye the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]; praise [01984] him, O ye servants [05650] of the LORD [03068]. 19 135 2 Ye that stand [05975] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], in the courts [02691] of the house [01004] of our God [0430], 19 135 3 Praise [01984] the LORD [03050]; for the LORD [03068] is good [02896]: sing praises [02167] unto his name [08034]; for it is pleasant [05273]. 19 135 4 For the LORD [03050] hath chosen [0977] Jacob [03290] unto himself, and Israel [03478] for his peculiar treasure [05459]. 19 135 5 For I know [03045] that the LORD [03068] is great [01419], and that our Lord [0113] is above all gods [0430]. 19 135 6 Whatsoever the LORD [03068] pleased [02654], that did [06213] he in heaven [08064], and in earth [0776], in the seas [03220], and all deep places [08415]. 19 135 7 He causeth the vapours [05387] to ascend [05927] from the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]; he maketh [06213] lightnings [01300] for the rain [04306]; he bringeth [03318] the wind [07307] out of his treasuries [0214]. 19 135 8 Who smote [05221] the firstborn [01060] of Egypt [04714], both of man [0120] and beast [0929]. 19 135 9 Who sent [07971] tokens [0226] and wonders [04159] into the midst [08432] of thee, O Egypt [04714], upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon all his servants [05650]. 19 135 10 Who smote [05221] great [07227] nations [01471], and slew [02026] mighty [06099] kings [04428]; 19 135 11 Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567], and Og [05747] king [04428] of Bashan [01316], and all the kingdoms [04467] of Canaan [03667]: 19 135 12 And gave [05414] their land [0776] for an heritage [05159], an heritage [05159] unto Israel [03478] his people [05971]. 19 135 13 Thy name [08034], O LORD [03068], endureth for ever [05769]; and thy memorial [02143], O LORD [03068], throughout all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 135 14 For the LORD [03068] will judge [01777] his people [05971], and he will repent [05162] himself concerning his servants [05650]. 19 135 15 The idols [06091] of the heathen [01471] are silver [03701] and gold [02091], the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027]. 19 135 16 They have mouths [06310], but they speak [01696] not; eyes [05869] have they, but they see [07200] not; 19 135 17 They have ears [0241], but they hear [0238] not; neither is there [03426] any breath [07307] in their mouths [06310]. 19 135 18 They that make [06213] them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth [0982] in them. 19 135 19 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]: bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O house [01004] of Aaron [0175]: 19 135 20 Bless [01288] the LORD [03068], O house [01004] of Levi [03878]: ye that fear [03373] the LORD [03068], bless [01288] the LORD [03068]. 19 135 21 Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] out of Zion [06726], which dwelleth [07931] at Jerusalem [03389]. Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. 19 136 1 O give thanks [03034] unto the LORD [03068]; for he is good [02896]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 2 O give thanks [03034] unto the God [0430] of gods [0430]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 3 O give thanks [03034] to the Lord [0113] of lords [0113]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 4 To him who alone doeth [06213] great [01419] wonders [06381]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 5 To him that by wisdom [08394] made [06213] the heavens [08064]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 6 To him that stretched out [07554] the earth [0776] above the waters [04325]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 7 To him that made [06213] great [01419] lights [0216]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 8 The sun [08121] to rule [04475] by day [03117]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 9 The moon [03394] and stars [03556] to rule [04475] by night [03915]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 10 To him that smote [05221] Egypt [04714] in their firstborn [01060]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 11 And brought out [03318] Israel [03478] from among [08432] them: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 12 With a strong [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 13 To him which divided [01504] the Red [05488] sea [03220] into parts [01506]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 14 And made Israel [03478] to pass through [05674] the midst [08432] of it: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 15 But overthrew [05287] Pharaoh [06547] and his host [02428] in the Red [05488] sea [03220]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 16 To him which led [03212] his people [05971] through the wilderness [04057]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 17 To him which smote [05221] great [01419] kings [04428]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 18 And slew [02026] famous [0117] kings [04428]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 19 Sihon [05511] king [04428] of the Amorites [0567]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 20 And Og [05747] the king [04428] of Bashan [01316]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 21 And gave [05414] their land [0776] for an heritage [05159]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 22 Even an heritage [05159] unto Israel [03478] his servant [05650]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 23 Who remembered [02142] us in our low estate [08216]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: 19 136 24 And hath redeemed [06561] us from our enemies [06862]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 25 Who giveth [05414] food [03899] to all flesh [01320]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 136 26 O give thanks [03034] unto the God [0410] of heaven [08064]: for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]. 19 137 1 By the rivers [05104] of Babylon [0894], there we sat down [03427], yea, we wept [01058], when we remembered [02142] Zion [06726]. 19 137 2 We hanged [08518] our harps [03658] upon the willows [06155] in the midst [08432] thereof. 19 137 3 For there they that carried us away captive [07617] required [07592] of us a song [01697] [07892]; and they that wasted [08437] us required of us mirth [08057], saying, Sing [07891] us one of the songs [07892] of Zion [06726]. 19 137 4 How shall we sing [07891] the LORD'S [03068] song [07892] in a strange [05236] land [0127]? 19 137 5 If I forget [07911] thee, O Jerusalem [03389], let my right hand [03225] forget [07911] her cunning. 19 137 6 If I do not remember [02142] thee, let my tongue [03956] cleave [01692] to the roof of my mouth [02441]; if I prefer [05927] not Jerusalem [03389] above my chief [07218] joy [08057]. 19 137 7 Remember [02142], O LORD [03068], the children [01121] of Edom [0123] in the day [03117] of Jerusalem [03389]; who said [0559], Rase [06168] it, rase [06168] it, even to the foundation [03247] thereof. 19 137 8 O daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894], who art to be destroyed [07703]; happy [0835] shall he be, that rewardeth [07999] thee as thou hast served [01580] [01576] us. 19 137 9 Happy [0835] shall he be, that taketh [0270] and dasheth [05310] thy little ones [05768] against the stones [05553]. 19 138 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. I will praise [03034] thee with my whole heart [03820]: before the gods [0430] will I sing praise [02167] unto thee. 19 138 2 I will worship [07812] toward thy holy [06944] temple [01964], and praise [03034] thy name [08034] for thy lovingkindness [02617] and for thy truth [0571]: for thou hast magnified [01431] thy word [0565] above all thy name [08034]. 19 138 3 In the day [03117] when I cried [07121] thou answeredst [06030] me, and strengthenedst [07292] me with strength [05797] in my soul [05315]. 19 138 4 All the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] shall praise [03034] thee, O LORD [03068], when they hear [08085] the words [0561] of thy mouth [06310]. 19 138 5 Yea, they shall sing [07891] in the ways [01870] of the LORD [03068]: for great [01419] is the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068]. 19 138 6 Though the LORD [03068] be high [07311], yet hath he respect [07200] unto the lowly [08217]: but the proud [01364] he knoweth [03045] afar off [04801]. 19 138 7 Though I walk [03212] in the midst [07130] of trouble [06869], thou wilt revive [02421] me: thou shalt stretch forth [07971] thine hand [03027] against the wrath [0639] of mine enemies [0341], and thy right hand [03225] shall save [03467] me. 19 138 8 The LORD [03068] will perfect [01584] that which concerneth me: thy mercy [02617], O LORD [03068], endureth for ever [05769]: forsake [07503] not the works [04639] of thine own hands [03027]. 19 139 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O LORD [03068], thou hast searched [02713] me, and known [03045] me. 19 139 2 Thou knowest [03045] my downsitting [03427] and mine uprising [06965], thou understandest [0995] my thought [07454] afar off [07350]. 19 139 3 Thou compassest [02219] my path [0734] and my lying down [07252], and art acquainted [05532] with all my ways [01870]. 19 139 4 For there is not a word [04405] in my tongue [03956], but, lo, O LORD [03068], thou knowest [03045] it altogether. 19 139 5 Thou hast beset [06696] me behind [0268] and before [06924], and laid [07896] thine hand [03709] upon me. 19 139 6 Such knowledge [01847] is too wonderful [06383] [06383] for me; it is high [07682], I cannot [03201] attain unto it. 19 139 7 Whither shall I go [03212] from thy spirit [07307]? or whither shall I flee [01272] from thy presence [06440]? 19 139 8 If I ascend up [05266] into heaven [08064], thou art there: if I make my bed [03331] in hell [07585], behold, thou art there. 19 139 9 If I take [05375] the wings [03671] of the morning [07837], and dwell [07931] in the uttermost parts [0319] of the sea [03220]; 19 139 10 Even there shall thy hand [03027] lead [05148] me, and thy right hand [03225] shall hold [0270] me. 19 139 11 If I say [0559], Surely the darkness [02822] shall cover [07779] me; even the night [03915] shall be light [0216] about me [01157]. 19 139 12 Yea, the darkness [02822] hideth [02821] not from thee; but the night [03915] shineth [0215] as the day [03117]: the darkness [02825] and the light [0219] are both alike to thee. 19 139 13 For thou hast possessed [07069] my reins [03629]: thou hast covered [05526] me in my mother's [0517] womb [0990]. 19 139 14 I will praise [03034] thee; for I am fearfully [03372] and wonderfully made [06395]: marvellous [06381] are thy works [04639]; and that my soul [05315] knoweth [03045] right well [03966]. 19 139 15 My substance [06108] was not hid [03582] from thee, when I was made [06213] in secret [05643], and curiously wrought [07551] in the lowest parts [08482] of the earth [0776]. 19 139 16 Thine eyes [05869] did see [07200] my substance, yet being unperfect [01564]; and in thy book [05612] all my members were written [03789], which in continuance [03117] were fashioned [03335], when as yet there was none [0259] of them. 19 139 17 How precious [03365] also are thy thoughts [07454] unto me, O God [0410]! how great [06105] is the sum [07218] of them! 19 139 18 If I should count [05608] them, they are more in number [07235] than the sand [02344]: when I awake [06974], I am still [05750] with thee. 19 139 19 Surely thou wilt slay [06991] the wicked [07563], O God [0433]: depart [05493] from me therefore, ye bloody [01818] men [0582]. 19 139 20 For they speak [0559] against thee wickedly [04209], and thine enemies [06145] take [05375] thy name in vain [07723]. 19 139 21 Do not I hate [08130] them, O LORD [03068], that hate [08130] thee? and am not I grieved [06962] with those that rise up [08618] against thee? 19 139 22 I hate [08130] them with perfect [08503] hatred [08135]: I count them mine enemies [0341]. 19 139 23 Search [02713] me, O God [0410], and know [03045] my heart [03824]: try [0974] me, and know [03045] my thoughts [08312]: 19 139 24 And see [07200] if there be any wicked [06090] way [01870] in me, and lead [05148] me in the way [01870] everlasting [05769]. 19 140 1 To the chief Musician [05329], A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Deliver [02502] me, O LORD [03068], from the evil [07451] man [0120]: preserve [05341] me from the violent [02555] man [0376]; 19 140 2 Which imagine [02803] mischiefs [07451] in their heart [03820]; continually [03117] are they gathered together [01481] for war [04421]. 19 140 3 They have sharpened [08150] their tongues [03956] like a serpent [05175]; adders [05919]' poison [02534] is under their lips [08193]. Selah [05542]. 19 140 4 Keep [08104] me, O LORD [03068], from the hands [03027] of the wicked [07563]; preserve [05341] me from the violent [02555] man [0376]; who have purposed [02803] to overthrow [01760] my goings [06471]. 19 140 5 The proud [01343] have hid [02934] a snare [06341] for me, and cords [02256]; they have spread [06566] a net [07568] by the wayside [03027] [04570]; they have set [07896] gins [04170] for me. Selah [05542]. 19 140 6 I said [0559] unto the LORD [03068], Thou art my God [0410]: hear [0238] the voice [06963] of my supplications [08469], O LORD [03068]. 19 140 7 O GOD [03069] the Lord [0136], the strength [05797] of my salvation [03444], thou hast covered [05526] my head [07218] in the day [03117] of battle [05402]. 19 140 8 Grant [05414] not, O LORD [03068], the desires [03970] of the wicked [07563]: further [06329] not his wicked device [02162]; lest they exalt [07311] themselves. Selah [05542]. 19 140 9 As for the head [07218] of those that compass me about [04524], let the mischief [05999] of their own lips [08193] cover [03680] them. 19 140 10 Let burning coals [01513] fall [04131] [04131] upon them: let them be cast [05307] into the fire [0784]; into deep pits [04113], that they rise not up again [06965]. 19 140 11 Let not an evil speaker [0376] [03956] be established [03559] in the earth [0776]: evil [07451] shall hunt [06679] the violent [02555] man [0376] to overthrow [04073] him. 19 140 12 I know [03045] that the LORD [03068] will maintain [06213] the cause [01779] of the afflicted [06041], and the right [04941] of the poor [034]. 19 140 13 Surely the righteous [06662] shall give thanks [03034] unto thy name [08034]: the upright [03477] shall dwell [03427] in thy presence [06440]. 19 141 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. LORD [03068], I cry [07121] unto thee: make haste [02363] unto me; give ear [0238] unto my voice [06963], when I cry [07121] unto thee. 19 141 2 Let my prayer [08605] be set forth [03559] before [06440] thee as incense [07004]; and the lifting up [04864] of my hands [03709] as the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503]. 19 141 3 Set [07896] a watch [08108], O LORD [03068], before my mouth [06310]; keep [05341] the door [01817] of my lips [08193]. 19 141 4 Incline [05186] not my heart [03820] to any evil [07451] thing [01697], to practise [05953] wicked [07562] works [05949] with men [0376] that work [06466] iniquity [0205]: and let me not eat [03898] of their dainties [04516]. 19 141 5 Let the righteous [06662] smite [01986] me; it shall be a kindness [02617]: and let him reprove [03198] me; it shall be an excellent [07218] oil [08081], which shall not break [05106] my head [07218]: for yet my prayer [08605] also shall be in their calamities [07451]. 19 141 6 When their judges [08199] are overthrown [08058] in stony [05553] places [03027], they shall hear [08085] my words [0561]; for they are sweet [05276]. 19 141 7 Our bones [06106] are scattered [06340] at the grave's [07585] mouth [06310], as when one cutteth [06398] and cleaveth [01234] wood upon the earth [0776]. 19 141 8 But mine eyes [05869] are unto thee, O GOD [03069] the Lord [0136]: in thee is my trust [02620]; leave [06168] not my soul [05315] destitute [06168]. 19 141 9 Keep [08104] me from the snares [03027] [06341] which they have laid [03369] for me, and the gins [04170] of the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]. 19 141 10 Let the wicked [07563] fall [05307] into their own nets [04364], whilst that I withal [03162] escape [05674]. 19 142 1 Maschil [04905] of David [01732]; A Prayer [08605] when he was in the cave [04631]. I cried [02199] unto the LORD [03068] with my voice [06963]; with my voice [06963] unto the LORD [03068] did I make my supplication [02603]. 19 142 2 I poured out [08210] my complaint [07879] before [06440] him; I shewed [05046] before [06440] him my trouble [06869]. 19 142 3 When my spirit [07307] was overwhelmed [05848] within me, then thou knewest [03045] my path [05410]. In the way [0734] wherein [02098] I walked [01980] have they privily laid [02934] a snare [06341] for me. 19 142 4 I looked [05027] on my right hand [03225], and beheld [07200], but there was no man that would know [05234] me: refuge [04498] failed [06] me; no man cared [01875] for my soul [05315]. 19 142 5 I cried [02199] unto thee, O LORD [03068]: I said [0559], Thou art my refuge [04268] and my portion [02506] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 19 142 6 Attend [07181] unto my cry [07440]; for I am brought [01809] very [03966] low [01809]: deliver [05337] me from my persecutors [07291]; for they are stronger [0553] than I. 19 142 7 Bring [03318] my soul [05315] out of prison [04525], that I may praise [03034] thy name [08034]: the righteous [06662] shall compass me about [03803]; for thou shalt deal bountifully [01580] with me. 19 143 1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. Hear [08085] my prayer [08605], O LORD [03068], give ear [0238] to my supplications [08469]: in thy faithfulness [0530] answer [06030] me, and in thy righteousness [06666]. 19 143 2 And enter [0935] not into judgment [04941] with thy servant [05650]: for in thy sight [06440] shall no man living [02416] be justified [06663]. 19 143 3 For the enemy [0341] hath persecuted [07291] my soul [05315]; he hath smitten [01792] my life [02416] down [01792] to the ground [0776]; he hath made me to dwell [03427] in darkness [04285], as those that have been long [05769] dead [04191]. 19 143 4 Therefore is my spirit [07307] overwhelmed [05848] within me; my heart [03820] within [08432] me is desolate [08074]. 19 143 5 I remember [02142] the days [03117] of old [06924]; I meditate [01897] on all thy works [06467]; I muse [07878] on the work [04639] of thy hands [03027]. 19 143 6 I stretch forth [06566] my hands [03027] unto thee: my soul [05315] thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty [05889] land [0776]. Selah [05542]. 19 143 7 Hear [06030] me speedily [04118], O LORD [03068]: my spirit [07307] faileth [03615]: hide [05641] not thy face [06440] from me, lest I be like [04911] unto them that go down [03381] into the pit [0953]. 19 143 8 Cause me to hear [08085] thy lovingkindness [02617] in the morning [01242]; for in thee do I trust [0982]: cause me to know [03045] the way [01870] wherein [02098] I should walk [03212]; for I lift up [05375] my soul [05315] unto thee. 19 143 9 Deliver [05337] me, O LORD [03068], from mine enemies [0341]: I flee unto thee to hide [03680] me. 19 143 10 Teach [03925] me to do [06213] thy will [07522]; for thou art my God [0430]: thy spirit [07307] is good [02896]; lead [05148] me into the land [0776] of uprightness [04334]. 19 143 11 Quicken [02421] me, O LORD [03068], for thy name's [08034] sake: for thy righteousness [06666]' sake bring [03318] my soul [05315] out of trouble [06869]. 19 143 12 And of thy mercy [02617] cut off [06789] mine enemies [0341], and destroy [06] all them that afflict [06887] my soul [05315]: for I am thy servant [05650]. 19 144 1 A Psalm of David [01732]. Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068] my strength [06697], which teacheth [03925] my hands [03027] to war [07128], and my fingers [0676] to fight [04421]: 19 144 2 My goodness [02617], and my fortress [04686]; my high tower [04869], and my deliverer [06403]; my shield [04043], and he in whom I trust [02620]; who subdueth [07286] my people [05971] under me. 19 144 3 LORD [03068], what is man [0120], that thou takest knowledge [03045] of him! or the son [01121] of man [0582], that thou makest account [02803] of him! 19 144 4 Man [0120] is like [01819] to vanity [01892]: his days [03117] are as a shadow [06738] that passeth away [05674]. 19 144 5 Bow [05186] thy heavens [08064], O LORD [03068], and come down [03381]: touch [05060] the mountains [02022], and they shall smoke [06225]. 19 144 6 Cast forth [01299] lightning [01300], and scatter [06327] them: shoot out [07971] thine arrows [02671], and destroy [02000] them. 19 144 7 Send [07971] thine hand [03027] from above [04791]; rid [06475] me, and deliver [05337] me out of great [07227] waters [04325], from the hand [03027] of strange [05236] children [01121]; 19 144 8 Whose mouth [06310] speaketh [01696] vanity [07723], and their right hand [03225] is a right hand [03225] of falsehood [08267]. 19 144 9 I will sing [07891] a new [02319] song [07892] unto thee, O God [0430]: upon a psaltery [05035] and an instrument of ten strings [06218] will I sing praises [02167] unto thee. 19 144 10 It is he that giveth [05414] salvation [08668] unto kings [04428]: who delivereth [06475] David [01732] his servant [05650] from the hurtful [07451] sword [02719]. 19 144 11 Rid [06475] me, and deliver [05337] me from the hand [03027] of strange [05236] children [01121], whose mouth [06310] speaketh [01696] vanity [07723], and their right hand [03225] is a right hand [03225] of falsehood [08267]: 19 144 12 That our sons [01121] may be as plants [05195] grown up [01431] in their youth [05271]; that our daughters [01323] may be as corner stones [02106], polished [02404] after the similitude [08403] of a palace [01964]: 19 144 13 That our garners [04200] may be full [04392], affording [06329] all manner of store [02177] [02177]: that our sheep [06629] may bring forth thousands [0503] and ten thousands [07231] in our streets [02351]: 19 144 14 That our oxen [0441] may be strong to labour [05445]; that there be no breaking in [06556], nor going out [03318]; that there be no complaining [06682] in our streets [07339]. 19 144 15 Happy [0835] is that people [05971], that is in such a case [03602]: yea, happy [0835] is that people [05971], whose God [0430] is the LORD [03068]. 19 145 1 David's [01732] Psalm of praise [08416]. I will extol [07311] thee, my God [0430], O king [04428]; and I will bless [01288] thy name [08034] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 145 2 Every day [03117] will I bless [01288] thee; and I will praise [01984] thy name [08034] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 145 3 Great [01419] is the LORD [03068], and greatly [03966] to be praised [01984]; and his greatness [01420] is unsearchable [02714]. 19 145 4 One [01755] generation [01755] shall praise [07623] thy works [04639] to another, and shall declare [05046] thy mighty acts [01369]. 19 145 5 I will speak [07878] of the glorious [03519] honour [01926] of thy majesty [01935], and of thy wondrous [06381] works [01697]. 19 145 6 And men shall speak [0559] of the might [05807] of thy terrible acts [03372]: and I will declare [05608] thy greatness [01420]. 19 145 7 They shall abundantly utter [05042] the memory [02143] of thy great [07227] goodness [02898], and shall sing [07442] of thy righteousness [06666]. 19 145 8 The LORD [03068] is gracious [02587], and full of compassion [07349]; slow [0750] to anger [0639], and of great [01419] mercy [02617]. 19 145 9 The LORD [03068] is good [02896] to all: and his tender mercies [07356] are over all his works [04639]. 19 145 10 All thy works [04639] shall praise [03034] thee, O LORD [03068]; and thy saints [02623] shall bless [01288] thee. 19 145 11 They shall speak [0559] of the glory [03519] of thy kingdom [04438], and talk [01696] of thy power [01369]; 19 145 12 To make known [03045] to the sons [01121] of men [0120] his mighty acts [01369], and the glorious [03519] majesty [01926] of his kingdom [04438]. 19 145 13 Thy kingdom [04438] is an everlasting [05769] kingdom [04438], and thy dominion [04475] endureth throughout all [01755] generations [01755]. 19 145 14 The LORD [03068] upholdeth [05564] all that fall [05307], and raiseth up [02210] all those that be bowed down [03721]. 19 145 15 The eyes [05869] of all wait [07663] upon thee; and thou givest [05414] them their meat [0400] in due season [06256]. 19 145 16 Thou openest [06605] thine hand [03027], and satisfiest [07646] the desire [07522] of every living thing [02416]. 19 145 17 The LORD [03068] is righteous [06662] in all his ways [01870], and holy [02623] in all his works [04639]. 19 145 18 The LORD [03068] is nigh [07138] unto all them that call [07121] upon him, to all that call [07121] upon him in truth [0571]. 19 145 19 He will fulfil [06213] the desire [07522] of them that fear [03373] him: he also will hear [08085] their cry [07775], and will save [03467] them. 19 145 20 The LORD [03068] preserveth [08104] all them that love [0157] him: but all the wicked [07563] will he destroy [08045]. 19 145 21 My mouth [06310] shall speak [01696] the praise [08416] of the LORD [03068]: and let all flesh [01320] bless [01288] his holy [06944] name [08034] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 19 146 1 Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050].

The LORD [03068] looseth [05425] the prisoners [0631]: 19 146 8 The LORD [03068] openeth [06491] the eyes of the blind [05787]: the LORD [03068] raiseth [02210] them that are bowed down [03721]: the LORD [03068] loveth [0157] the righteous [06662]: 19 146 9 The LORD [03068] preserveth [08104] the strangers [01616]; he relieveth [05749] the fatherless [03490] and widow [0490]: but the way [01870] of the wicked [07563] he turneth upside down [05791]. 19 146 10 The LORD [03068] shall reign [04427] for ever [05769], even thy God [0430], O Zion [06726], unto all [01755] generations [01755].

and a man of understanding [0995] shall attain [07069] unto wise counsels [08458]: 20 1 6 To understand [0995] a proverb [04912], and the interpretation [04426]; the words [01697] of the wise [02450], and their dark sayings [02420]. 20 1 7 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [07225] of knowledge [01847]: but fools [0191] despise [0936] wisdom [02451] and instruction [04148]. 20 1 8 My son [01121], hear [08085] the instruction [04148] of thy father [01], and forsake [05203] not the law [08451] of thy mother [0517]: 20 1 9 For they shall be an ornament [03880] of grace [02580] unto thy head [07218], and chains [06060] about thy neck [01621]. 20 1 10 My son [01121], if sinners [02400] entice [06601] thee, consent [014] thou not. 20 1 11 If they say [0559], Come [03212] with us, let us lay wait [0693] for blood [01818], let us lurk [06845] privily for the innocent [05355] without cause [02600]: 20 1 12 Let us swallow them up [01104] alive [02416] as the grave [07585]; and whole [08549], as those that go down [03381] into the pit [0953]: 20 1 13 We shall find [04672] all precious [03368] substance [01952], we shall fill [04390] our houses [01004] with spoil [07998]: 20 1 14 Cast [05307] in thy lot [01486] among [08432] us; let us all have one [0259] purse [03599]: 20 1 15 My son [01121], walk [03212] not thou in the way [01870] with them; refrain [04513] thy foot [07272] from their path [05410]: 20 1 16 For their feet [07272] run [07323] to evil [07451], and make haste [04116] to shed [08210] blood [01818]. 20 1 17 Surely in vain [02600] the net [07568] is spread [02219] in the sight [05869] of any bird [01167] [03671]. 20 1 18 And they lay wait [0693] for their own blood [01818]; they lurk privily [06845] for their own lives [05315]. 20 1 19 So are the ways [0734] of every one that is greedy [01214] of gain [01215]; which taketh away [03947] the life [05315] of the owners [01167] thereof. 20 1 20 Wisdom [02454] crieth [07442] without [02351]; she uttereth [05414] her voice [06963] in the streets [07339]: 20 1 21 She crieth [07121] in the chief place [07218] of concourse [01993], in the openings [06607] of the gates [08179]: in the city [05892] she uttereth [0559] her words [0561], saying, 20 1 22 How long, ye simple ones [06612], will ye love [0157] simplicity [06612]? and the scorners [03887] delight [02530] in their scorning [03944], and fools [03684] hate [08130] knowledge [01847]? 20 1 23 Turn [07725] you at my reproof [08433]: behold, I will pour out [05042] my spirit [07307] unto you, I will make known [03045] my words [01697] unto you. 20 1 24 Because I have called [07121], and ye refused [03985]; I have stretched out [05186] my hand [03027], and no man regarded [07181]; 20 1 25 But ye have set at nought [06544] all my counsel [06098], and would [014] none of my reproof [08433]: 20 1 26 I also will laugh [07832] at your calamity [0343]; I will mock [03932] when your fear [06343] cometh [0935]; 20 1 27 When your fear [06343] cometh [0935] as desolation [07722] [07584], and your destruction [0343] cometh [0857] as a whirlwind [05492]; when distress [06869] and anguish [06695] cometh [0935] upon you. 20 1 28 Then shall they call [07121] upon me, but I will not answer [06030]; they shall seek me early [07836], but they shall not find [04672] me: 20 1 29 For that they hated [08130] knowledge [01847], and did not choose [0977] the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]: 20 1 30 They would [014] none of my counsel [06098]: they despised [05006] all my reproof [08433]. 20 1 31 Therefore shall they eat [0398] of the fruit [06529] of their own way [01870], and be filled [07646] with their own devices [04156]. 20 1 32 For the turning away [04878] of the simple [06612] shall slay [02026] them, and the prosperity [07962] of fools [03684] shall destroy [06] them. 20 1 33 But whoso hearkeneth [08085] unto me shall dwell [07931] safely [0983], and shall be quiet [07599] from fear [06343] of evil [07451]. 20 2 1 My son [01121], if thou wilt receive [03947] my words [0561], and hide [06845] my commandments [04687] with thee; 20 2 2 So that thou incline [07181] thine ear [0241] unto wisdom [02451], and apply [05186] thine heart [03820] to understanding [08394]; 20 2 3 Yea, if thou criest [07121] after knowledge [0998], and liftest up [05414] thy voice [06963] for understanding [08394]; 20 2 4 If thou seekest [01245] her as silver [03701], and searchest [02664] for her as for hid treasures [04301]; 20 2 5 Then shalt thou understand [0995] the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068], and find [04672] the knowledge [01847] of God [0430]. 20 2 6 For the LORD [03068] giveth [05414] wisdom [02451]: out of his mouth [06310] cometh knowledge [01847] and understanding [08394]. 20 2 7 He layeth up [06845] [06845] sound wisdom [08454] for the righteous [03477]: he is a buckler [04043] to them that walk [01980] uprightly [08537]. 20 2 8 He keepeth [05341] the paths [0734] of judgment [04941], and preserveth [08104] the way [01870] of his saints [02623]. 20 2 9 Then shalt thou understand [0995] righteousness [06664], and judgment [04941], and equity [04339]; yea, every good [02896] path [04570]. 20 2 10 When wisdom [02451] entereth [0935] into thine heart [03820], and knowledge [01847] is pleasant [05276] unto thy soul [05315]; 20 2 11 Discretion [04209] shall preserve [08104] thee, understanding [08394] shall keep [05341] thee: 20 2 12 To deliver [05337] thee from the way [01870] of the evil [07451] man, from the man [0376] that speaketh [01696] froward things [08419]; 20 2 13 Who leave [05800] the paths [0734] of uprightness [03476], to walk [03212] in the ways [01870] of darkness [02822]; 20 2 14 Who rejoice [08056] to do [06213] evil [07451], and delight [01523] in the frowardness [08419] of the wicked [07451]; 20 2 15 Whose ways [0734] are crooked [06141], and they froward [03868] in their paths [04570]: 20 2 16 To deliver [05337] thee from the strange [02114] woman [0802], even from the stranger [05237] which flattereth [02505] with her words [0561]; 20 2 17 Which forsaketh [05800] the guide [0441] of her youth [05271], and forgetteth [07911] the covenant [01285] of her God [0430]. 20 2 18 For her house [01004] inclineth [07743] unto death [04194], and her paths [04570] unto the dead [07496]. 20 2 19 None that go [0935] unto her return again [07725], neither take they hold [05381] of the paths [0734] of life [02416]. 20 2 20 That thou mayest walk [03212] in the way [01870] of good [02896] men, and keep [08104] the paths [0734] of the righteous [06662]. 20 2 21 For the upright [03477] shall dwell [07931] in the land [0776], and the perfect [08549] shall remain [03498] in it. 20 2 22 But the wicked [07563] shall be cut off [03772] from the earth [0776], and the transgressors [0898] shall be rooted out [05255] of it. 20 3 1 My son [01121], forget [07911] not my law [08451]; but let thine heart [03820] keep [05341] my commandments [04687]: 20 3 2 For length [0753] of days [03117], and long [08141] life [02416], and peace [07965], shall they add [03254] to thee. 20 3 3 Let not mercy [02617] and truth [0571] forsake [05800] thee: bind [07194] them about thy neck [01621]; write [03789] them upon the table [03871] of thine heart [03820]: 20 3 4 So shalt thou find [04672] favour [02580] and good [02896] understanding [07922] in the sight [05869] of God [0430] and man [0120]. 20 3 5 Trust [0982] in the LORD [03068] with all thine heart [03820]; and lean [08172] not unto thine own understanding [0998]. 20 3 6 In all thy ways [01870] acknowledge [03045] him, and he shall direct [03474] thy paths [0734]. 20 3 7 Be not wise [02450] in thine own eyes [05869]: fear [03372] the LORD [03068], and depart [05493] from evil [07451]. 20 3 8 It shall be health [07500] to thy navel [08270], and marrow [08250] to thy bones [06106]. 20 3 9 Honour [03513] the LORD [03068] with thy substance [01952], and with the firstfruits [07225] of all thine increase [08393]: 20 3 10 So shall thy barns [0618] be filled [04390] with plenty [07647], and thy presses [03342] shall burst out [06555] with new wine [08492]. 20 3 11 My son [01121], despise [03988] not the chastening [04148] of the LORD [03068]; neither be weary [06973] of his correction [08433]: 20 3 12 For whom the LORD [03068] loveth [0157] he correcteth [03198]; even as a father [01] the son [01121] in whom he delighteth [07521]. 20 3 13 Happy [0835] is the man [0120] that findeth [04672] wisdom [02451], and the man [0120] that getteth [06329] understanding [08394]. 20 3 14 For the merchandise [05504] of it is better [02896] than the merchandise [05505] of silver [03701], and the gain [08393] thereof than fine gold [02742]. 20 3 15 She is more precious [03368] than rubies [06443]: and all the things thou canst desire [02656] are not to be compared [07737] unto her. 20 3 16 Length [0753] of days [03117] is in her right hand [03225]; and in her left hand [08040] riches [06239] and honour [03519]. 20 3 17 Her ways [01870] are ways [01870] of pleasantness [05278], and all her paths [05410] are peace [07965]. 20 3 18 She is a tree [06086] of life [02416] to them that lay hold [02388] upon her: and happy [0833] is every one that retaineth [08551] her. 20 3 19 The LORD [03068] by wisdom [02451] hath founded [03245] the earth [0776]; by understanding [08394] hath he established [03559] the heavens [08064]. 20 3 20 By his knowledge [01847] the depths [08415] are broken up [01234], and the clouds [07834] drop down [07491] the dew [02919]. 20 3 21 My son [01121], let not them depart [03868] from thine eyes [05869]: keep [05341] sound wisdom [08454] and discretion [04209]: 20 3 22 So shall they be life [02416] unto thy soul [05315], and grace [02580] to thy neck [01621]. 20 3 23 Then shalt thou walk [03212] in thy way [01870] safely [0983], and thy foot [07272] shall not stumble [05062]. 20 3 24 When thou liest down [07901], thou shalt not be afraid [06342]: yea, thou shalt lie down [07901], and thy sleep [08142] shall be sweet [06149]. 20 3 25 Be not afraid [03372] of sudden [06597] fear [06343], neither of the desolation [07722] of the wicked [07563], when it cometh [0935]. 20 3 26 For the LORD [03068] shall be thy confidence [03689], and shall keep [08104] thy foot [07272] from being taken [03921]. 20 3 27 Withhold [04513] not good [02896] from them to whom it is due [01167], when it is in the power [0410] of thine hand [03027] to do [06213] it. 20 3 28 Say [0559] not unto thy neighbour [07453], Go [03212], and come again [07725], and to morrow [04279] I will give [05414]; when thou hast [03426] it by thee. 20 3 29 Devise [02790] not evil [07451] against thy neighbour [07453], seeing he dwelleth [03427] securely [0983] by thee. 20 3 30 Strive [07378] not with a man [0120] without cause [02600], if he have done [01580] thee no harm [07451]. 20 3 31 Envy [07065] thou not the oppressor [0376] [02555], and choose [0977] none of his ways [01870]. 20 3 32 For the froward [03868] is abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but his secret [05475] is with the righteous [03477]. 20 3 33 The curse [03994] of the LORD [03068] is in the house [01004] of the wicked [07563]: but he blesseth [01288] the habitation [05116] of the just [06662]. 20 3 34 Surely he scorneth [03887] the scorners [03887]: but he giveth [05414] grace [02580] unto the lowly [06035] [06041]. 20 3 35 The wise [02450] shall inherit [05157] glory [03519]: but shame [07036] shall be the promotion [07311] of fools [03684]. 20 4 1 Hear [08085], ye children [01121], the instruction [04148] of a father [01], and attend [07181] to know [03045] understanding [0998]. 20 4 2 For I give [05414] you good [02896] doctrine [03948], forsake [05800] ye not my law [08451]. 20 4 3 For I was my father's [01] son [01121], tender [07390] and only [03173] beloved in the sight [06440] of my mother [0517]. 20 4 4 He taught [03384] me also, and said [0559] unto me, Let thine heart [03820] retain [08551] my words [01697]: keep [08104] my commandments [04687], and live [02421]. 20 4 5 Get [07069] wisdom [02451], get [07069] understanding [0998]: forget [07911] it not; neither decline [05186] from the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 20 4 6 Forsake [05800] her not, and she shall preserve [08104] thee: love [0157] her, and she shall keep [05341] thee. 20 4 7 Wisdom [02451] is the principal thing [07225]; therefore get [07069] wisdom [02451]: and with all thy getting [07075] get understanding [0998]. 20 4 8 Exalt [05549] her, and she shall promote [07311] thee: she shall bring thee to honour [03513], when thou dost embrace [02263] her. 20 4 9 She shall give [05414] to thine head [07218] an ornament [03880] of grace [02580]: a crown [05850] of glory [08597] shall she deliver [04042] to thee. 20 4 10 Hear [08085], O my son [01121], and receive [03947] my sayings [0561]; and the years [08141] of thy life [02416] shall be many [07235]. 20 4 11 I have taught [03384] thee in the way [01870] of wisdom [02451]; I have led [01869] thee in right [03476] paths [04570]. 20 4 12 When thou goest [03212], thy steps [06806] shall not be straitened [03334]; and when thou runnest [07323], thou shalt not stumble [03782]. 20 4 13 Take fast hold [02388] of instruction [04148]; let her not go [07503]: keep [05341] her; for she is thy life [02416]. 20 4 14 Enter [0935] not into the path [0734] of the wicked [07563], and go [0833] not in the way [01870] of evil [07451] men. 20 4 15 Avoid [06544] it, pass [05674] not by it, turn [07847] from it, and pass away [05674]. 20 4 16 For they sleep [03462] not, except they have done mischief [07489]; and their sleep [08142] is taken away [01497], unless they cause some to fall [03782] [03782]. 20 4 17 For they eat [03898] the bread [03899] of wickedness [07562], and drink [08354] the wine [03196] of violence [02555]. 20 4 18 But the path [0734] of the just [06662] is as the shining [05051] light [0216], that shineth [0215] more [01980] and more unto the perfect [03559] day [03117]. 20 4 19 The way [01870] of the wicked [07563] is as darkness [0653]: they know [03045] not at what they stumble [03782]. 20 4 20 My son [01121], attend [07181] to my words [01697]; incline [05186] thine ear [0241] unto my sayings [0561]. 20 4 21 Let them not depart [03868] from thine eyes [05869]; keep [08104] them in the midst [08432] of thine heart [03824]. 20 4 22 For they are life [02416] unto those that find [04672] them, and health [04832] to all their flesh [01320]. 20 4 23 Keep [05341] thy heart [03820] with all diligence [04929]; for out of it are the issues [08444] of life [02416]. 20 4 24 Put away [05493] from thee a froward [06143] mouth [06310], and perverse [03891] lips [08193] put far [07368] from thee. 20 4 25 Let thine eyes [05869] look [05027] right on [05227], and let thine eyelids [06079] look straight [03474] before thee. 20 4 26 Ponder [06424] the path [04570] of thy feet [07272], and let all thy ways [01870] be established [03559]. 20 4 27 Turn [05186] not to the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040]: remove [05493] thy foot [07272] from evil [07451]. 20 5 1 My son [01121], attend [07181] unto my wisdom [02451], and bow [05186] thine ear [0241] to my understanding [08394]: 20 5 2 That thou mayest regard [08104] discretion [04209], and that thy lips [08193] may keep [05341] knowledge [01847]. 20 5 3 For the lips [08193] of a strange woman [02114] drop [05197] as an honeycomb [05317], and her mouth [02441] is smoother [02509] than oil [08081]: 20 5 4 But her end [0319] is bitter [04751] as wormwood [03939], sharp [02299] as a twoedged [06310] sword [02719]. 20 5 5 Her feet [07272] go down [03381] to death [04194]; her steps [06806] take hold [08551] on hell [07585]. 20 5 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder [06424] the path [0734] of life [02416], her ways [04570] are moveable [05128], that thou canst not know [03045] them. 20 5 7 Hear [08085] me now therefore, O ye children [01121], and depart [05493] not from the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 20 5 8 Remove [07368] thy way [01870] far [07368] from her, and come not nigh [07126] the door [06607] of her house [01004]: 20 5 9 Lest thou give [05414] thine honour [01935] unto others [0312], and thy years [08141] unto the cruel [0394]: 20 5 10 Lest strangers [02114] be filled [07646] with thy wealth [03581]; and thy labours [06089] be in the house [01004] of a stranger [05237]; 20 5 11 And thou mourn [05098] at the last [0319], when thy flesh [01320] and thy body [07607] are consumed [03615], 20 5 12 And say [0559], How have I hated [08130] instruction [04148], and my heart [03820] despised [05006] reproof [08433]; 20 5 13 And have not obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of my teachers [03384], nor inclined [05186] mine ear [0241] to them that instructed [03925] me! 20 5 14 I was almost [04592] in all evil [07451] in the midst [08432] of the congregation [06951] and assembly [05712]. 20 5 15 Drink [08354] waters [04325] out of thine own cistern [0953], and running waters [05140] out of [08432] thine own well [0875]. 20 5 16 Let thy fountains [04599] be dispersed [06327] abroad [02351], and rivers [06388] of waters [04325] in the streets [07339]. 20 5 17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers [02114] ' with thee. 20 5 18 Let thy fountain [04726] be blessed [01288]: and rejoice [08055] with the wife [0802] of thy youth [05271]. 20 5 19 Let her be as the loving [0158] hind [0365] and pleasant [02580] roe [03280]; let her breasts [01717] satisfy [07301] thee at all times [06256]; and be thou ravished [07686] always [08548] with her love [0160]. 20 5 20 And why wilt thou, my son [01121], be ravished [07686] with a strange woman [02114], and embrace [02263] the bosom [02436] of a stranger [05237]? 20 5 21 For the ways [01870] of man [0376] are before [05227] the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], and he pondereth [06424] all his goings [04570]. 20 5 22 His own iniquities [05771] shall take [03920] the wicked [07563] himself, and he shall be holden [08551] with the cords [02256] of his sins [02403]. 20 5 23 He shall die [04191] without instruction [04148]; and in the greatness [07230] of his folly [0200] he shall go astray [07686]. 20 6 1 My son [01121], if thou be surety [06148] for thy friend [07453], if thou hast stricken [08628] thy hand [03709] with a stranger [02114], 20 6 2 Thou art snared [03369] with the words [0561] of thy mouth [06310], thou art taken [03920] with the words [0561] of thy mouth [06310]. 20 6 3 Do [06213] this now [0645], my son [01121], and deliver [05337] thyself, when thou art come [0935] into the hand [03709] of thy friend [07453]; go [03212], humble [07511] thyself, and make sure[07292] thy friend [07453]. 20 6 4 Give [05414] not sleep [08142] to thine eyes [05869], nor slumber [08572] to thine eyelids [06079]. 20 6 5 Deliver [05337] thyself as a roe [06643] from the hand [03027] of the hunter, and as a bird [06833] from the hand [03027] of the fowler [03353]. 20 6 6 Go [03212] to the ant [05244], thou sluggard [06102]; consider [07200] her ways [01870], and be wise [02449]: 20 6 7 Which having no guide [07101], overseer [07860], or ruler [04910], 20 6 8 Provideth [03559] her meat [03899] in the summer [07019], and gathereth [0103] her food [03978] in the harvest [07105]. 20 6 9 How long wilt thou sleep [07901], O sluggard [06102]? when wilt thou arise [06965] out of thy sleep [08142]? 20 6 10 Yet a little [04592] sleep [08142], a little [04592] slumber [08572], a little [04592] folding [02264] of the hands [03027] to sleep [07901]: 20 6 11 So shall thy poverty [07389] come [0935] as one that travelleth [01980], and thy want [04270] as an armed [04043] man [0376]. 20 6 12 A naughty [01100] person [0120], a wicked [0205] man [0376], walketh [01980] with a froward [06143] mouth [06310]. 20 6 13 He winketh [07169] with his eyes [05869], he speaketh [04448] with his feet [07272], he teacheth [03384] with his fingers [0676]; 20 6 14 Frowardness [08419] is in his heart [03820], he deviseth [02790] mischief [07451] continually [06256]; he soweth [07971] discord [04066] [04090]. 20 6 15 Therefore shall his calamity [0343] come [0935] suddenly [06597]; suddenly [06621] shall he be broken [07665] without remedy [04832]. 20 6 16 These six [08337] things doth the LORD [03068] hate [08130]: yea, seven [07651] are an abomination [08441] unto him [05315]: 20 6 17 A proud [07311] look [05869], a lying [08267] tongue [03956], and hands [03027] that shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818], 20 6 18 An heart [03820] that deviseth [02790] wicked [0205] imaginations [04284], feet [07272] that be swift [04116] in running [07323] to mischief [07451], 20 6 19 A false [08267] witness [05707] that speaketh [06315] lies [03577], and he that soweth [07971] discord [04090] among brethren [0251]. 20 6 20 My son [01121], keep [05341] thy father's [01] commandment [04687], and forsake [05203] not the law [08451] of thy mother [0517]: 20 6 21 Bind [07194] them continually [08548] upon thine heart [03820], and tie [06029] them about thy neck [01621]. 20 6 22 When thou goest [01980], it shall lead [05148] thee; when thou sleepest [07901], it shall keep [08104] thee; and when thou awakest [06974], it shall talk [07878] with thee. 20 6 23 For the commandment [04687] is a lamp [05216]; and the law [08451] is light [0216]; and reproofs [08433] of instruction [04148] are the way [01870] of life [02416]: 20 6 24 To keep [08104] thee from the evil [07451] woman [0802], from the flattery [02513] of the tongue [03956] of a strange woman [05237]. 20 6 25 Lust [02530] not after her beauty [03308] in thine heart [03824]; neither let her take [03947] thee with her eyelids [06079]. 20 6 26 For by means of [01157] a whorish [02181] woman [0802] a man is brought to a piece [03603] of bread [03899]: and the adulteress [0802] [0376] will hunt [06679] for the precious [03368] life [05315]. 20 6 27 Can a man [0376] take [02846] fire [0784] in his bosom [02436], and his clothes [0899] not be burned [08313]? 20 6 28 Can one [0376] go [01980] upon hot coals [01513], and his feet [07272] not be burned [03554]? 20 6 29 So he that goeth in [0935] to his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]; whosoever toucheth [05060] her shall not be innocent [05352]. 20 6 30 Men do not despise [0936] a thief [01590], if he steal [01589] to satisfy [04390] his soul [05315] when he is hungry [07456]; 20 6 31 But if he be found [04672], he shall restore [07999] sevenfold [07659]; he shall give [05414] all the substance [01952] of his house [01004]. 20 6 32 But whoso committeth adultery [05003] with a woman [0802] lacketh [02638] understanding [03820]: he that doeth [06213] it destroyeth [07843] his own soul [05315]. 20 6 33 A wound [05061] and dishonour [07036] shall he get [04672]; and his reproach [02781] shall not be wiped away [04229]. 20 6 34 For jealousy [07068] is the rage [02534] of a man [01397]: therefore he will not spare [02550] in the day [03117] of vengeance [05359]. 20 6 35 He will not regard [05375] [06440] any ransom [03724]; neither will he rest content [014], though thou givest many [07235] gifts [07810]. 20 7 1 My son [01121], keep [08104] my words [0561], and lay up [06845] my commandments [04687] with thee. 20 7 2 Keep [08104] my commandments [04687], and live [02421]; and my law [08451] as the apple [0380] of thine eye [05869]. 20 7 3 Bind [07194] them upon thy fingers [0676], write [03789] them upon the table [03871] of thine heart [03820]. 20 7 4 Say [0559] unto wisdom [02451], Thou art my sister [0269]; and call [07121] understanding [0998] thy kinswoman [04129]: 20 7 5 That they may keep [08104] thee from the strange [02114] woman [0802], from the stranger [05237] which flattereth [02505] with her words [0561]. 20 7 6 For at the window [02474] of my house [01004] I looked [08259] through my casement [0822], 20 7 7 And beheld [07200] among the simple ones [06612], I discerned [0995] among the youths [01121], a young man [05288] void [02638] of understanding [03820], 20 7 8 Passing through [05674] the street [07784] near [0681] her corner [06434]; and he went [06805] the way [01870] to her house [01004], 20 7 9 In the twilight [05399], in the evening [03117] [06153], in the black [0380] and dark [0653] night [03915]: 20 7 10 And, behold, there met [07125] him a woman [0802] with the attire [07897] of an harlot [02181], and subtil [05341] of heart [03820]. 20 7 11 (She is loud [01993] and stubborn [05637]; her feet [07272] abide [07931] not in her house [01004]: 20 7 12 Now [06471] is she without [02351], now [06471] in the streets [07339], and lieth in wait [0693] at [0681] every corner [06438].) 20 7 13 So she caught [02388] him, and kissed [05401] him, and with an impudent [05810] face [06440] said [0559] unto him, 20 7 14 I have peace [08002] offerings [02077] with me; this day [03117] have I payed [07999] my vows [05088]. 20 7 15 Therefore came I forth [03318] to meet [07125] thee, diligently to seek [07836] thy face [06440], and I have found [04672] thee. 20 7 16 I have decked [07234] my bed [06210] with coverings [04765] of tapestry, with carved [02405] works, with fine linen [0330] of Egypt [04714]. 20 7 17 I have perfumed [05130] my bed [04904] with myrrh [04753], aloes [0174], and cinnamon [07076]. 20 7 18 Come [03212], let us take our fill [07301] of love [01730] until the morning [01242]: let us solace [05965] ourselves with loves [0159]. 20 7 19 For the goodman [0376] is not at home [01004], he is gone [01980] a long [07350] journey [01870]: 20 7 20 He hath taken [03947] a bag [06872] of money [03701] with him [03027], and will come [0935] home [01004] at the day [03117] appointed [03677]. 20 7 21 With her much [07230] fair speech [03948] she caused him to yield [05186], with the flattering [02506] of her lips [08193] she forced [05080] him. 20 7 22 He goeth [01980] after [0310] her straightway [06597], as an ox [07794] goeth [0935] to the slaughter [02874], or as a fool [0191] to the correction [04148] of the stocks [05914]; 20 7 23 Till a dart [02671] strike [06398] through his liver [03516]; as a bird [06833] hasteth [04116] to the snare [06341], and knoweth [03045] not that it is for his life [05315]. 20 7 24 Hearken [08085] unto me now therefore, O ye children [01121], and attend [07181] to the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]. 20 7 25 Let not thine heart [03820] decline [07847] to her ways [01870], go not astray [08582] in her paths [05410]. 20 7 26 For she hath cast down [05307] many [07227] wounded [02491]: yea, many strong [06099] men have been slain [02026] by her. 20 7 27 Her house [01004] is the way [01870] to hell [07585], going down [03381] to the chambers [02315] of death [04194]. 20 8 1 Doth not wisdom [02451] cry [07121]? and understanding [08394] put forth [05414] her voice [06963]? 20 8 2 She standeth [05324] in the top [07218] of high places [04791], by the way [01870] in the places [01004] of the paths [05410]. 20 8 3 She crieth [07442] at [03027] the gates [08179], at the entry [06310] of the city [07176], at the coming [03996] in at the doors [06607]. 20 8 4 Unto you, O men [0376], I call [07121]; and my voice [06963] is to the sons [01121] of man [0120]. 20 8 5 O ye simple [06612], understand [0995] wisdom [06195]: and, ye fools [03684], be ye of an understanding [0995] heart [03820]. 20 8 6 Hear [08085]; for I will speak [01696] of excellent things [05057]; and the opening [04669] of my lips [08193] shall be right things [04339]. 20 8 7 For my mouth [02441] shall speak [01897] truth [0571]; and wickedness [07562] is an abomination [08441] to my lips [08193]. 20 8 8 All the words [0561] of my mouth [06310] are in righteousness [06664]; there is nothing froward [06617] or perverse [06141] in them. 20 8 9 They are all plain [05228] to him that understandeth [0995], and right [03477] to them that find [04672] knowledge [01847]. 20 8 10 Receive [03947] my instruction [04148], and not silver [03701]; and knowledge [01847] rather than choice [0977] gold [02742]. 20 8 11 For wisdom [02451] is better [02896] than rubies [06443]; and all the things that may be desired [02656] are not to be compared [07737] to it. 20 8 12 I wisdom [02451] dwell [07931] with prudence [06195], and find out [04672] knowledge [01847] of witty inventions [04209]. 20 8 13 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is to hate [08130] evil [07451]: pride [01344], and arrogancy [01347], and the evil [07451] way [01870], and the froward [08419] mouth [06310], do I hate [08130]. 20 8 14 Counsel [06098] is mine, and sound wisdom [08454]: I am understanding [0998]; I have strength [01369]. 20 8 15 By me kings [04428] reign [04427], and princes [07336] decree [02710] justice [06664]. 20 8 16 By me princes [08269] rule [08323], and nobles [05081], even all the judges [08199] of the earth [0776]. 20 8 17 I love [0157] them that love [0157] me; and those that seek me early [07836] shall find [04672] me. 20 8 18 Riches [06239] and honour [03519] are with me; yea, durable [06276] riches [01952] and righteousness [06666]. 20 8 19 My fruit [06529] is better [02896] than gold [02742], yea, than fine gold [06337]; and my revenue [08393] than choice [0977] silver [03701]. 20 8 20 I lead [01980] in the way [0734] of righteousness [06666], in the midst [08432] of the paths [05410] of judgment [04941]: 20 8 21 That I may cause those that love [0157] me to inherit [05157] substance [03426]; and I will fill [04390] their treasures [0214]. 20 8 22 The LORD [03068] possessed [07069] me in the beginning [07225] of his way [01870], before [06924] his works [04659] of old. 20 8 23 I was set up [05258] from everlasting [05769], from the beginning [07218], or ever [06924] the earth [0776] was. 20 8 24 When there were no depths [08415], I was brought forth [02342]; when there were no fountains [04599] abounding [03513] with water [04325]. 20 8 25 Before the mountains [02022] were settled [02883], before [06440] the hills [01389] was I brought forth [02342]: 20 8 26 While as yet he had not made [06213] the earth [0776], nor the fields [02351], nor the highest part [07218] of the dust [06083] of the world [08398]. 20 8 27 When he prepared [03559] the heavens [08064], I was there: when he set [02710] a compass [02329] upon the face [06440] of the depth [08415]: 20 8 28 When he established [0553] the clouds [07834] above [04605]: when he strengthened [05810] the fountains [05869] of the deep [08415]: 20 8 29 When he gave [07760] to the sea [03220] his decree [02706], that the waters [04325] should not pass [05674] his commandment [06310]: when he appointed [02710] the foundations [04144] of the earth [0776]: 20 8 30 Then I was by him [0681], as one brought up [0525] with him: and I was daily [03117] [03117] his delight [08191], rejoicing [07832] always [06256] before [06440] him; 20 8 31 Rejoicing [07832] in the habitable part [08398] of his earth [0776]; and my delights [08191] were with the sons [01121] of men [0120]. 20 8 32 Now therefore hearken [08085] unto me, O ye children [01121]: for blessed [0835] are they that keep [08104] my ways [01870]. 20 8 33 Hear [08085] instruction [04148], and be wise [02449], and refuse [06544] it not. 20 8 34 Blessed [0835] is the man [0120] that heareth [08085] me, watching [08245] daily [03117] [03117] at my gates [01817], waiting [08104] at the posts [04201] of my doors [06607]. 20 8 35 For whoso findeth [04672] me findeth [04672] [04672] life [02416], and shall obtain [06329] favour [07522] of the LORD [03068]. 20 8 36 But he that sinneth [02398] against me wrongeth [02554] his own soul [05315]: all they that hate [08130] me love [0157] death [04194]. 20 9 1 Wisdom [02454] hath builded [01129] her house [01004], she hath hewn out [02672] her seven [07651] pillars [05982]: 20 9 2 She hath killed [02873] her beasts [02874]; she hath mingled [04537] her wine [03196]; she hath also furnished [06186] her table [07979]. 20 9 3 She hath sent forth [07971] her maidens [05291]: she crieth [07121] upon [01610] the highest places [04791] of the city [07176], 20 9 4 Whoso is simple [06612], let him turn in [05493] hither: as for him that wanteth [02638] understanding [03820], she saith [0559] to him, 20 9 5 Come [03212], eat [03898] of my bread [03899], and drink [08354] of the wine [03196] which I have mingled [04537]. 20 9 6 Forsake [05800] the foolish [06612], and live [02421]; and go [0833] in the way [01870] of understanding [0998]. 20 9 7 He that reproveth [03256] a scorner [03887] getteth [03947] to himself shame [07036]: and he that rebuketh [03198] a wicked [07563] man getteth himself a blot [03971]. 20 9 8 Reprove [03198] not a scorner [03887], lest he hate [08130] thee: rebuke [03198] a wise man [02450], and he will love [0157] thee. 20 9 9 Give [05414] instruction to a wise [02450] man, and he will be yet wiser [02449]: teach [03045] a just [06662] man, and he will increase [03254] in learning [03948]. 20 9 10 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [08462] of wisdom [02451]: and the knowledge [01847] of the holy [06918] is understanding [0998]. 20 9 11 For by me thy days [03117] shall be multiplied [07235], and the years [08141] of thy life [02416] shall be increased [03254]. 20 9 12 If thou be wise [02449], thou shalt be wise [02449] for thyself: but if thou scornest [03887], thou alone shalt bear [05375] it. 20 9 13 A foolish [03687] woman [0802] is clamorous [01993]: she is simple [06615], and [01077] knoweth [03045] nothing [04100]. 20 9 14 For she sitteth [03427] at the door [06607] of her house [01004], on a seat [03678] in the high places [04791] of the city [07176], 20 9 15 To call [07121] passengers [05674] [01870] who go right [03474] on their ways [0734]: 20 9 16 Whoso is simple [06612], let him turn in [05493] hither: and as for him that wanteth [02638] understanding [03820], she saith [0559] to him, 20 9 17 Stolen [01589] waters [04325] are sweet [04985], and bread [03899] eaten in secret [05643] is pleasant [05276]. 20 9 18 But he knoweth [03045] not that the dead [07496] are there; and that her guests [07121] are in the depths [06012] of hell [07585]. 20 10 1 The proverbs [04912] of Solomon [08010]. A wise [02450] son [01121] maketh a glad [08055] father [01]: but a foolish [03684] son [01121] is the heaviness [08424] of his mother [0517]. 20 10 2 Treasures [0214] of wickedness [07562] profit [03276] nothing: but righteousness [06666] delivereth [05337] from death [04194]. 20 10 3 The LORD [03068] will not suffer [07456] the soul [05315] of the righteous [06662] to famish [07456]: but he casteth away [01920] the substance [01942] of the wicked [07563]. 20 10 4 He becometh poor [07326] that dealeth [06213] with a slack [07423] hand [03709]: but the hand [03027] of the diligent [02742] maketh rich [06238]. 20 10 5 He that gathereth [0103] in summer [07019] is a wise [07919] son [01121]: but he that sleepeth [07290] in harvest [07105] is a son [01121] that causeth shame [0954]. 20 10 6 Blessings [01293] are upon the head [07218] of the just [06662]: but violence [02555] covereth [03680] the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563]. 20 10 7 The memory [02143] of the just [06662] is blessed [01293]: but the name [08034] of the wicked [07563] shall rot [07537]. 20 10 8 The wise [02450] in heart [03820] will receive [03947] commandments [04687]: but a prating [08193] fool [0191] shall fall [03832]. 20 10 9 He that walketh [03212] uprightly [08537] walketh [01980] surely [0983]: but he that perverteth [06140] his ways [01870] shall be known [03045]. 20 10 10 He that winketh [07169] with the eye [05869] causeth [05414] sorrow [06094]: but a prating [08193] fool [0191] shall fall [03832]. 20 10 11 The mouth [06310] of a righteous [06662] man is a well [04726] of life [02416]: but violence [02555] covereth [03680] the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563]. 20 10 12 Hatred [08135] stirreth up [05782] strifes [04090]: but love [0160] covereth [03680] all sins [06588]. 20 10 13 In the lips [08193] of him that hath understanding [0995] wisdom [02451] is found [04672]: but a rod [07626] is for the back [01460] of him that is void [02638] of understanding [03820]. 20 10 14 Wise [02450] men lay up [06845] knowledge [01847]: but the mouth [06310] of the foolish [0191] is near [07138] destruction [04288]. 20 10 15 The rich man's [06223] wealth [01952] is his strong [05797] city [07151]: the destruction [04288] of the poor [01800] is their poverty [07389]. 20 10 16 The labour [06468] of the righteous [06662] tendeth to life [02416]: the fruit [08393] of the wicked [07563] to sin [02403]. 20 10 17 He is in the way [0734] of life [02416] that keepeth [08104] instruction [04148]: but he that refuseth [05800] reproof [08433] erreth [08582]. 20 10 18 He that hideth [03680] hatred [08135] with lying [08267] lips [08193], and he that uttereth [03318] a slander [01681], is a fool [03684]. 20 10 19 In the multitude [07230] of words [01697] there wanteth [02308] not sin [06588]: but he that refraineth [02820] his lips [08193] is wise [07919]. 20 10 20 The tongue [03956] of the just [06662] is as choice [0977] silver [03701]: the heart [03820] of the wicked [07563] is little worth [04592]. 20 10 21 The lips [08193] of the righteous [06662] feed [07462] many [07227]: but fools [0191] die [04191] for want [02638] of wisdom [03820]. 20 10 22 The blessing [01293] of the LORD [03068], it maketh rich [06238], and he addeth [03254] no sorrow [06089] with it. 20 10 23 It is as sport [07814] to a fool [03684] to do [06213] mischief [02154]: but a man [0376] of understanding [08394] hath wisdom [02451]. 20 10 24 The fear [04034] of the wicked [07563], it shall come [0935] upon him: but the desire [08378] of the righteous [06662] shall be granted [05414]. 20 10 25 As the whirlwind [05492] passeth [05674], so is the wicked [07563] no more: but the righteous [06662] is an everlasting [05769] foundation [03247]. 20 10 26 As vinegar [02558] to the teeth [08127], and as smoke [06227] to the eyes [05869], so is the sluggard [06102] to them that send [07971] him. 20 10 27 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] prolongeth [03254] days [03117]: but the years [08141] of the wicked [07563] shall be shortened [07114]. 20 10 28 The hope [08431] of the righteous [06662] shall be gladness [08057]: but the expectation [08615] of the wicked [07563] shall perish [06]. 20 10 29 The way [01870] of the LORD [03068] is strength [04581] to the upright [08537]: but destruction [04288] shall be to the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]. 20 10 30 The righteous [06662] shall never [05769] be removed [04131]: but the wicked [07563] shall not inhabit [07931] the earth [0776]. 20 10 31 The mouth [06310] of the just [06662] bringeth forth [05107] wisdom [02451]: but the froward [08419] tongue [03956] shall be cut out [03772]. 20 10 32 The lips [08193] of the righteous [06662] know [03045] what is acceptable [07522]: but the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563] speaketh frowardness [08419]. 20 11 1 A false [04820] balance [03976] is abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but a just [08003] weight [068] is his delight [07522]. 20 11 2 When pride [02087] cometh [0935], then cometh [0935] shame [07036]: but with the lowly [06800] is wisdom [02451]. 20 11 3 The integrity [08538] of the upright [03477] shall guide [05148] them: but the perverseness [05558] of transgressors [0898] shall destroy [07703] [07703] them. 20 11 4 Riches [01952] profit [03276] not in the day [03117] of wrath [05678]: but righteousness [06666] delivereth [05337] from death [04194]. 20 11 5 The righteousness [06666] of the perfect [08549] shall direct [03474] his way [01870]: but the wicked [07563] shall fall [05307] by his own wickedness [07564]. 20 11 6 The righteousness [06666] of the upright [03477] shall deliver [05337] them: but transgressors [0898] shall be taken [03920] in their own naughtiness [01942]. 20 11 7 When a wicked [07563] man [0120] dieth [04194], his expectation [08615] shall perish [06]: and the hope [08431] of unjust [0205] men perisheth [06]. 20 11 8 The righteous [06662] is delivered out [02502] of trouble [06869], and the wicked [07563] cometh [0935] in his stead. 20 11 9 An hypocrite [02611] with his mouth [06310] destroyeth [07843] his neighbour [07453]: but through knowledge [01847] shall the just [06662] be delivered [02502]. 20 11 10 When it goeth well [02898] with the righteous [06662], the city [07151] rejoiceth [05970]: and when the wicked [07563] perish [06], there is shouting [07440]. 20 11 11 By the blessing [01293] of the upright [03477] the city [07176] is exalted [07311]: but it is overthrown [02040] by the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563]. 20 11 12 He that is void [02638] of wisdom [03820] despiseth [0936] his neighbour [07453]: but a man [0376] of understanding [08394] holdeth his peace [02790]. 20 11 13 A talebearer [01980] [07400] revealeth [01540] secrets [05475]: but he that is of a faithful [0539] spirit [07307] concealeth [03680] the matter [01697]. 20 11 14 Where no counsel [08458] is, the people [05971] fall [05307]: but in the multitude [07230] of counsellors [03289] there is safety [08668]. 20 11 15 He that is surety [06148] for a stranger [02114] shall smart [07321] [07451] for it: and he that hateth [08130] suretiship [08628] is sure [0982]. 20 11 16 A gracious [02580] woman [0802] retaineth [08551] honour [03519]: and strong [06184] men retain [08551] riches [06239]. 20 11 17 The merciful [02617] man [0376] doeth good [01580] to his own soul [05315]: but he that is cruel [0394] troubleth [05916] his own flesh [07607]. 20 11 18 The wicked [07563] worketh [06213] a deceitful [08267] work [06468]: but to him that soweth [02232] righteousness [06666] shall be a sure [0571] reward [07938]. 20 11 19 As righteousness [06666] tendeth to life [02416]: so he that pursueth [07291] evil [07451] pursueth it to his own death [04194]. 20 11 20 They that are of a froward [06141] heart [03820] are abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but such as are upright [08549] in their way [01870] are his delight [07522]. 20 11 21 Though hand [03027] join in hand [03027], the wicked [07451] shall not be unpunished [05352]: but the seed [02233] of the righteous [06662] shall be delivered [04422]. 20 11 22 As a jewel [05141] of gold [02091] in a swine's [02386] snout [0639], so is a fair [03303] woman [0802] which is without [05493] discretion [02940]. 20 11 23 The desire [08378] of the righteous [06662] is only good [02896]: but the expectation [08615] of the wicked [07563] is wrath [05678]. 20 11 24 There is [03426] that scattereth [06340], and yet increaseth [03254]; and there is that withholdeth [02820] more than is meet [03476], but it tendeth to poverty [04270]. 20 11 25 The liberal [01293] soul [05315] shall be made fat [01878]: and he that watereth [07301] shall be watered [03384] also himself. 20 11 26 He that withholdeth [04513] corn [01250], the people [03816] shall curse [05344] him: but blessing [01293] shall be upon the head [07218] of him that selleth [07666] it. 20 11 27 He that diligently seeketh [07836] good [02896] procureth [01245] favour [07522]: but he that seeketh [01875] mischief [07451], it shall come [0935] unto him. 20 11 28 He that trusteth [0982] in his riches [06239] shall fall [05307]: but the righteous [06662] shall flourish [06524] as a branch [05929]. 20 11 29 He that troubleth [05916] his own house [01004] shall inherit [05157] the wind [07307]: and the fool [0191] shall be servant [05650] to the wise [02450] of heart [03820]. 20 11 30 The fruit [06529] of the righteous [06662] is a tree [06086] of life [02416]; and he that winneth [03947] souls [05315] is wise [02450]. 20 11 31 Behold, the righteous [06662] shall be recompensed [07999] in the earth [0776]: much more the wicked [07563] and the sinner [02398]. 20 12 1 Whoso loveth [0157] instruction [04148] loveth [0157] knowledge [01847]: but he that hateth [08130] reproof [08433] is brutish [01198]. 20 12 2 A good [02896] man obtaineth [06329] favour [07522] of the LORD [03068]: but a man [0376] of wicked devices [04209] will he condemn [07561]. 20 12 3 A man [0120] shall not be established [03559] by wickedness [07562]: but the root [08328] of the righteous [06662] shall not be moved [04131]. 20 12 4 A virtuous [02428] woman [0802] is a crown [05850] to her husband [01167]: but she that maketh ashamed [0954] is as rottenness [07538] in his bones [06106]. 20 12 5 The thoughts [04284] of the righteous [06662] are right [04941]: but the counsels [08458] of the wicked [07563] are deceit [04820]. 20 12 6 The words [01697] of the wicked [07563] are to lie in wait [0693] for blood [01818]: but the mouth [06310] of the upright [03477] shall deliver [05337] them. 20 12 7 The wicked [07563] are overthrown [02015], and are not: but the house [01004] of the righteous [06662] shall stand [05975]. 20 12 8 A man [0376] shall be commended [01984] according [06310] to his wisdom [07922]: but he that is of a perverse [05753] heart [03820] shall be despised [0937]. 20 12 9 He that is despised [07034], and hath a servant [05650], is better [02896] than he that honoureth [03513] himself, and lacketh [02638] bread [03899]. 20 12 10 A righteous [06662] man regardeth [03045] the life [05315] of his beast [0929]: but the tender mercies [07356] of the wicked [07563] are cruel [0394]. 20 12 11 He that tilleth [05647] his land [0127] shall be satisfied [07646] with bread [03899]: but he that followeth [07291] vain [07386] persons is void [02638] of understanding [03820]. 20 12 12 The wicked [07563] desireth [02530] the net [04685] of evil [07451] men: but the root [08328] of the righteous [06662] yieldeth [05414] fruit. 20 12 13 The wicked [07451] is snared [04170] by the transgression [06588] of his lips [08193]: but the just [06662] shall come out [03318] of trouble [06869]. 20 12 14 A man [0376] shall be satisfied [07646] with good [02896] by the fruit [06529] of his mouth [06310]: and the recompence [01576] of a man's [0120] hands [03027] shall be rendered [07725] [07725] untohim. 20 12 15 The way [01870] of a fool [0191] is right [03477] in his own eyes [05869]: but he that hearkeneth [08085] unto counsel [06098] is wise [02450]. 20 12 16 A fool's [0191] wrath [03708] is presently [03117] known [03045]: but a prudent [06175] man covereth [03680] shame [07036]. 20 12 17 He that speaketh [06315] truth [0530] sheweth forth [05046] righteousness [06664]: but a false [08267] witness [05707] deceit [04820]. 20 12 18 There is [03426] that speaketh [0981] like the piercings [04094] of a sword [02719]: but the tongue [03956] of the wise [02450] is health [04832]. 20 12 19 The lip [08193] of truth [0571] shall be established [03559] for ever [05703]: but a lying [08267] tongue [03956] is but for a moment [07280]. 20 12 20 Deceit [04820] is in the heart [03820] of them that imagine [02790] evil [07451]: but to the counsellors [03289] of peace [07965] is joy [08057]. 20 12 21 There shall no evil [0205] happen [0579] to the just [06662]: but the wicked [07563] shall be filled [04390] with mischief [07451]. 20 12 22 Lying [08267] lips [08193] are abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but they that deal [06213] truly [0530] are his delight [07522]. 20 12 23 A prudent [06175] man [0120] concealeth [03680] knowledge [01847]: but the heart [03820] of fools [03684] proclaimeth [07121] foolishness [0200]. 20 12 24 The hand [03027] of the diligent [02742] shall bear rule [04910]: but the slothful [07423] shall be under tribute [04522]. 20 12 25 Heaviness [01674] in the heart [03820] of man [0376] maketh it stoop [07812]: but a good [02896] word [01697] maketh it glad [08055]. 20 12 26 The righteous [06662] is more excellent [08446] than his neighbour [07453]: but the way [01870] of the wicked [07563] seduceth [08582] them. 20 12 27 The slothful [07423] man roasteth [02760] not that which he took in hunting [06718]: but the substance [01952] of a diligent [02742] man [0120] is precious [03368]. 20 12 28 In the way [0734] of righteousness [06666] is life [02416]; and in the pathway [05410] [01870] thereof there is no death [04194]. 20 13 1 A wise [02450] son [01121] heareth his father's [01] instruction [04148]: but a scorner [03887] heareth [08085] not rebuke [01606]. 20 13 2 A man [0376] shall eat [0398] good [02896] by the fruit [06529] of his mouth [06310]: but the soul [05315] of the transgressors [0898] shall eat violence [02555]. 20 13 3 He that keepeth [05341] his mouth [06310] keepeth [08104] his life [05315]: but he that openeth wide [06589] his lips [08193] shall have destruction [04288]. 20 13 4 The soul [05315] of the sluggard [06102] desireth [0183], and hath nothing: but the soul [05315] of the diligent [02742] shall be made fat [01878]. 20 13 5 A righteous [06662] man hateth [08130] lying [01697] [08267]: but a wicked [07563] man is loathsome [0887], and cometh to shame [02659]. 20 13 6 Righteousness [06666] keepeth [05341] him that is upright [08537] in the way [01870]: but wickedness [07564] overthroweth [05557] the sinner [02403]. 20 13 7 There is [03426] that maketh himself rich [06238], yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor [07326], yet [03605] hath great [07227] riches [01952]. 20 13 8 The ransom [03724] of a man's [0376] life [05315] are his riches [06239]: but the poor [07326] heareth [08085] not rebuke [01606]. 20 13 9 The light [0216] of the righteous [06662] rejoiceth [08055]: but the lamp [05216] of the wicked [07563] shall be put out [01846]. 20 13 10 Only by pride [02087] cometh [05414] contention [04683]: but with the well advised [03289] is wisdom [02451]. 20 13 11 Wealth [01952] gotten by vanity [01892] shall be diminished [04591]: but he that gathereth [06908] by labour [03027] shall increase [07235]. 20 13 12 Hope [08431] deferred [04900] maketh the heart [03820] sick [02470]: but when the desire [08378] cometh [0935], it is a tree [06086] of life [02416]. 20 13 13 Whoso despiseth [0936] the word [01697] shall be destroyed [02254]: but he that feareth [03373] the commandment [04687] shall be rewarded [07999]. 20 13 14 The law [08451] of the wise [02450] is a fountain [04726] of life [02416], to depart [05493] from the snares [04170] of death [04194]. 20 13 15 Good [02896] understanding [07922] giveth [05414] favour [02580]: but the way [01870] of transgressors [0898] is hard [0386]. 20 13 16 Every prudent [06175] man dealeth [06213] with knowledge [01847]: but a fool [03684] layeth open [06566] his folly [0200]. 20 13 17 A wicked [07563] messenger [04397] falleth [05307] into mischief [07451]: but a faithful [0529] ambassador [06735] is health [04832]. 20 13 18 Poverty [07389] and shame [07036] shall be to him that refuseth [06544] instruction [04148]: but he that regardeth [08104] reproof [08433] shall be honoured [03513]. 20 13 19 The desire [08378] accomplished [01961] is sweet [06149] to the soul [05315]: but it is abomination [08441] to fools [03684] to depart [05493] from evil [07451]. 20 13 20 He that walketh [01980] with wise [02450] men shall be wise [02449]: but a companion [07462] of fools [03684] shall be destroyed [07321]. 20 13 21 Evil [07451] pursueth [07291] sinners [02400]: but to the righteous [06662] good [02896] shall be repayed [07999]. 20 13 22 A good [02896] man leaveth an inheritance [05157] to his children's [01121] children [01121]: and the wealth [02428] of the sinner [02398] is laid up [06845] for the just [06662]. 20 13 23 Much [07230] food [0400] is in the tillage [05215] of the poor [07218] [07326]: but there is [03426] that is destroyed [05595] for want [03808] of judgment [04941]. 20 13 24 He that spareth [02820] his rod [07626] hateth [08130] his son [01121]: but he that loveth [0157] him chasteneth [04148] him betimes [07836]. 20 13 25 The righteous [06662] eateth [0398] to the satisfying [07648] of his soul [05315]: but the belly [0990] of the wicked [07563] shall want [02637]. 20 14 1 Every wise [02454] woman [0802] buildeth [01129] her house [01004]: but the foolish [0200] plucketh it down [02040] with her hands [03027]. 20 14 2 He that walketh [01980] in his uprightness [03476] feareth [03373] the LORD [03068]: but he that is perverse [03868] in his ways [01870] despiseth [0959] him. 20 14 3 In the mouth [06310] of the foolish [0191] is a rod [02415] of pride [01346]: but the lips [08193] of the wise [02450] shall preserve [08104] them. 20 14 4 Where no oxen [0504] are, the crib [018] is clean [01249]: but much [07230] increase [08393] is by the strength [03581] of the ox [07794]. 20 14 5 A faithful [0529] witness [05707] will not lie [03577]: but a false [08267] witness [05707] will utter [06315] lies [03576]. 20 14 6 A scorner [03887] seeketh [01245] wisdom [02451], and findeth it not: but knowledge [01847] is easy [07043] unto him that understandeth [0995]. 20 14 7 Go [03212] from the presence [05048] of a foolish [03684] man [0376], when thou perceivest [03045] not in him the lips [08193] of knowledge [01847]. 20 14 8 The wisdom [02451] of the prudent [06175] is to understand [0995] his way [01870]: but the folly [0200] of fools [03684] is deceit [04820]. 20 14 9 Fools [0191] make a mock [03887] at sin [0817]: but among the righteous [03477] there is favour [07522]. 20 14 10 The heart [03820] knoweth [03045] his own [05315] bitterness [04787]; and a stranger [02114] doth not intermeddle [06148] with his joy [08057]. 20 14 11 The house [01004] of the wicked [07563] shall be overthrown [08045]: but the tabernacle [0168] of the upright [03477] shall flourish [06524]. 20 14 12 There is [03426] a way [01870] which seemeth right [03477] unto [06440] a man [0376], but the end [0319] thereof are the ways [01870] of death [04194]. 20 14 13 Even in laughter [07814] the heart [03820] is sorrowful [03510]; and the end [0319] of that mirth [08057] is heaviness [08424]. 20 14 14 The backslider [05472] in heart [03820] shall be filled [07646] with his own ways [01870]: and a good [02896] man [0376] shall be satisfied from himself. 20 14 15 The simple [06612] believeth [0539] every word [01697]: but the prudent [06175] man looketh well [0995] to his going [0838]. 20 14 16 A wise [02450] man feareth [03373], and departeth [05493] from evil [07451]: but the fool [03684] rageth [05674], and is confident [0982]. 20 14 17 He that is soon [07116] angry [0639] dealeth [06213] foolishly [0200]: and a man [0376] of wicked devices [04209] is hated [08130]. 20 14 18 The simple [06612] inherit [05157] folly [0200]: but the prudent [06175] are crowned [03803] with knowledge [01847]. 20 14 19 The evil [07451] bow [07817] before [06440] the good [02896]; and the wicked [07563] at the gates [08179] of the righteous [06662]. 20 14 20 The poor [07326] is hated [08130] even of his own neighbour [07453]: but the rich [06223] hath many [07227] friends [0157]. 20 14 21 He that despiseth [0936] his neighbour [07453] sinneth [02398]: but he that hath mercy [02603] on the poor [06035] [06041], happy [0835] is he. 20 14 22 Do they not err [08582] that devise [02790] evil [07451]? but mercy [02617] and truth [0571] shall be to them that devise [02790] good [02896]. 20 14 23 In all labour [06089] there is profit [04195]: but the talk [01697] of the lips [08193] tendeth only to penury [04270]. 20 14 24 The crown [05850] of the wise [02450] is their riches [06239]: but the foolishness [0200] of fools [03684] is folly [0200]. 20 14 25 A true [0571] witness [05707] delivereth [05337] souls [05315]: but a deceitful [04820] witness speaketh [06315] lies [03577]. 20 14 26 In the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is strong [05797] confidence [04009]: and his children [01121] shall have a place of refuge [04268]. 20 14 27 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is a fountain [04726] of life [02416], to depart [05493] from the snares [04170] of death [04194]. 20 14 28 In the multitude [07230] of people [05971] is the king's [04428] honour [01927]: but in the want [0657] of people [03816] is the destruction [04288] of the prince [07333]. 20 14 29 He that is slow [0750] to wrath [0639] is of great [07227] understanding [08394]: but he that is hasty [07116] of spirit [07307] exalteth [07311] folly [0200]. 20 14 30 A sound [04832] heart [03820] is the life [02416] of the flesh [01320]: but envy [07068] the rottenness [07538] of the bones [06106]. 20 14 31 He that oppresseth [06231] the poor [01800] reproacheth [02778] his Maker [06213]: but he that honoureth [03513] him hath mercy [02603] on the poor [034]. 20 14 32 The wicked [07563] is driven away [01760] in his wickedness [07451]: but the righteous [06662] hath hope [02620] in his death [04194]. 20 14 33 Wisdom [02451] resteth [05117] in the heart [03820] of him that hath understanding [0995]: but that which is in the midst [07130] of fools [03684] is made known [03045]. 20 14 34 Righteousness [06666] exalteth [07311] a nation [01471]: but sin [02403] is a reproach [02617] to any people [03816]. 20 14 35 The king's [04428] favour [07522] is toward a wise [07919] servant [05650]: but his wrath [05678] is against him that causeth shame [0954]. 20 15 1 A soft [07390] answer [04617] turneth [07725] away wrath [02534]: but grievous [06089] words [01697] stir up [05927] anger [0639]. 20 15 2 The tongue [03956] of the wise [02450] useth knowledge [01847] aright [03190]: but the mouth [06310] of fools [03684] poureth out [05042] foolishness [0200]. 20 15 3 The eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] are in every place [04725], beholding [06822] the evil [07451] and the good [02896]. 20 15 4 A wholesome [04832] tongue [03956] is a tree [06086] of life [02416]: but perverseness [05558] therein is a breach [07667] in the spirit [07307]. 20 15 5 A fool [0191] despiseth [05006] his father's [01] instruction [04148]: but he that regardeth [08104] reproof [08433] is prudent [06191]. 20 15 6 In the house [01004] of the righteous [06662] is much [07227] treasure [02633]: but in the revenues [08393] of the wicked [07563] is trouble [05916]. 20 15 7 The lips [08193] of the wise [02450] disperse [02219] knowledge [01847]: but the heart [03820] of the foolish [03684] doeth not so. 20 15 8 The sacrifice [02077] of the wicked [07563] is an abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but the prayer [08605] of the upright [03477] is his delight [07522]. 20 15 9 The way [01870] of the wicked [07563] is an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068]: but he loveth [0157] him that followeth [07291] after righteousness [06666]. 20 15 10 Correction [04148] is grievous [07451] unto him that forsaketh [05800] the way [0734]: and he that hateth [08130] reproof [08433] shall die [04191]. 20 15 11 Hell [07585] and destruction [011] are before the LORD [03068]: how much more then the hearts [03826] of the children [01121] of men [0120]? 20 15 12 A scorner [03887] loveth [0157] not one that reproveth [03198] him: neither will he go [03212] unto the wise [02450]. 20 15 13 A merry [08056] heart [03820] maketh a cheerful [03190] countenance [06440]: but by sorrow [06094] of the heart [03820] the spirit [07307] is broken [05218]. 20 15 14 The heart [03820] of him that hath understanding [0995] seeketh [01245] knowledge [01847]: but the mouth [06310] [06440] of fools [03684] feedeth [07462] on foolishness [0200]. 20 15 15 All the days [03117] of the afflicted [06041] are evil [07451]: but he that is of a merry [02896] heart [03820] hath a continual [08548] feast [04960]. 20 15 16 Better [02896] is little [04592] with the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] than great [07227] treasure [0214] and trouble [04103] therewith. 20 15 17 Better [02896] is a dinner [0737] of herbs [03419] where love [0160] is, than a stalled [075] ox [07794] and hatred [08135] therewith. 20 15 18 A wrathful [02534] man [0376] stirreth up [01624] strife [04066]: but he that is slow [0750] to anger [0639] appeaseth [08252] strife [07379]. 20 15 19 The way [01870] of the slothful [06102] man is as an hedge [04881] of thorns [02312]: but the way [0734] of the righteous [03477] is made plain [05549]. 20 15 20 A wise [02450] son [01121] maketh a glad [08055] father [01]: but a foolish [03684] man [0120] despiseth [0959] his mother [0517]. 20 15 21 Folly [0200] is joy [08057] to him that is destitute [02638] of wisdom [03820]: but a man [0376] of understanding [08394] walketh [03212] uprightly [03474]. 20 15 22 Without counsel [05475] purposes [04284] are disappointed [06565]: but in the multitude [07230] of counsellors [03289] they are established [06965]. 20 15 23 A man [0376] hath joy [08057] by the answer [04617] of his mouth [06310]: and a word [01697] spoken in due season [06256], how good [02896] is it! 20 15 24 The way [0734] of life [02416] is above [04605] to the wise [07919], that he may depart [05493] from hell [07585] beneath [04295]. 20 15 25 The LORD [03068] will destroy [05255] the house [01004] of the proud [01343]: but he will establish [05324] the border [01366] of the widow [0490]. 20 15 26 The thoughts [04284] of the wicked [07451] are an abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: but the words of the pure [02889] are pleasant [05278] words [0561]. 20 15 27 He that is greedy [01214] of gain [01215] troubleth [05916] his own house [01004]; but he that hateth [08130] gifts [04979] shall live [02421]. 20 15 28 The heart [03820] of the righteous [06662] studieth [01897] to answer [06030]: but the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563] poureth [05042] out evil things [07451]. 20 15 29 The LORD [03068] is far [07350] from the wicked [07563]: but he heareth [08085] the prayer [08605] of the righteous [06662]. 20 15 30 The light [03974] of the eyes [05869] rejoiceth [08055] the heart [03820]: and a good [02896] report [08052] maketh [01878] the bones [06106] fat [01878]. 20 15 31 The ear [0241] that heareth [08085] the reproof [08433] of life [02416] abideth [03885] among [07130] the wise [02450]. 20 15 32 He that refuseth [06544] instruction [04148] despiseth [03988] his own soul [05315]: but he that heareth [08085] reproof [08433] getteth [07069] understanding [03820]. 20 15 33 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the instruction [04148] of wisdom [02451]; and before [06440] honour [03519] is humility [06038]. 20 16 1 The preparations [04633] of the heart [03820] in man [0120], and the answer [04617] of the tongue [03956], is from the LORD [03068]. 20 16 2 All the ways [01870] of a man [0376] are clean [02134] in his own eyes [05869]; but the LORD [03068] weigheth [08505] the spirits [07307]. 20 16 3 Commit [01556] thy works [04639] unto the LORD [03068], and thy thoughts [04284] shall be established [03559]. 20 16 4 The LORD [03068] hath made [06466] all things for himself [04617]: yea, even the wicked [07563] for the day [03117] of evil [07451]. 20 16 5 Every one that is proud [01362] in heart [03820] is an abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]: though hand [03027] join in hand [03027], he shall not be unpunished [05352]. 20 16 6 By mercy [02617] and truth [0571] iniquity [05771] is purged [03722]: and by the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] men depart [05493] from evil [07451]. 20 16 7 When a man's [0376] ways [01870] please [07521] the LORD [03068], he maketh even his enemies [0341] to be at peace [07999] with him. 20 16 8 Better [02896] is a little [04592] with righteousness [06666] than great [07230] revenues [08393] without right [04941]. 20 16 9 A man's [0120] heart [03820] deviseth [02803] his way [01870]: but the LORD [03068] directeth [03559] his steps [06806]. 20 16 10 A divine sentence [07081] is in the lips [08193] of the king [04428]: his mouth [06310] transgresseth [04603] not in judgment [04941]. 20 16 11 A just [04941] weight [06425] and balance [03976] are the LORD'S [03068]: all the weights [068] of the bag [03599] are his work [04639]. 20 16 12 It is an abomination [08441] to kings [04428] to commit [06213] wickedness [07562]: for the throne [03678] is established [03559] by righteousness [06666]. 20 16 13 Righteous [06664] lips [08193] are the delight [07522] of kings [04428]; and they love [0157] him that speaketh [01696] right [03477]. 20 16 14 The wrath [02534] of a king [04428] is as messengers [04397] of death [04194]: but a wise [02450] man [0376] will pacify [03722] it. 20 16 15 In the light [0216] of the king's [04428] countenance [06440] is life [02416]; and his favour [07522] is as a cloud [05645] of the latter rain [04456]. 20 16 16 How much better [02896] is it to get [07069] wisdom [02451] than gold [02742]! and to get [07069] understanding [0998] rather to be chosen [0977] than silver [03701]! 20 16 17 The highway [04546] of the upright [03477] is to depart [05493] from evil [07451]: he that keepeth [05341] his way [01870] preserveth [08104] his soul [05315]. 20 16 18 Pride [01347] goeth before [06440] destruction [07667], and an haughty [01363] spirit [07307] before [06440] a fall [03783]. 20 16 19 Better [02896] it is to be of an humble [08217] spirit [07307] with the lowly [06035] [06041], than to divide [02505] the spoil [07998] with the proud [01343]. 20 16 20 He that handleth a matter [01697] wisely [07919] shall find [04672] good [02896]: and whoso trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], happy [0835] is he. 20 16 21 The wise [02450] in heart [03820] shall be called [07121] prudent [0995]: and the sweetness [04986] of the lips [08193] increaseth [03254] learning [03948]. 20 16 22 Understanding [07922] is a wellspring [04726] of life [02416] unto him that hath [01167] it: but the instruction [04148] of fools [0191] is folly [0200]. 20 16 23 The heart [03820] of the wise [02450] teacheth [07919] his mouth [06310], and addeth [03254] learning [03948] to his lips [08193]. 20 16 24 Pleasant [05278] words [0561] are as an honeycomb [06688] [01706], sweet [04966] to the soul [05315], and health [04832] to the bones [06106]. 20 16 25 There is [03426] a way [01870] that seemeth right [03477] unto [06440] a man [0376], but the end [0319] thereof are the ways [01870] of death [04194]. 20 16 26 He [05315] that laboureth [06001] laboureth [05998] for himself; for his mouth [06310] craveth [0404] it of him. 20 16 27 An ungodly [01100] man [0376] diggeth up [03738] evil [07451]: and in his lips [08193] there is as a burning [06867] fire [0784]. 20 16 28 A froward [08419] man [0376] soweth [07971] strife [04066]: and a whisperer [05372] separateth [06504] chief friends [0441]. 20 16 29 A violent [02555] man [0376] enticeth [06601] his neighbour [07453], and leadeth [03212] him into the way [01870] that is not good [02896]. 20 16 30 He shutteth [06095] his eyes [05869] to devise [02803] froward things [08419]: moving [07169] his lips [08193] he bringeth [03615] evil [07451] to pass [03615]. 20 16 31 The hoary head [07872] is a crown [05850] of glory [08597], if it be found [04672] in the way [01870] of righteousness [06666]. 20 16 32 He that is slow [0750] to anger [0639] is better [02896] than the mighty [01368]; and he that ruleth [04910] his spirit [07307] than he that taketh [03920] a city [05892]. 20 16 33 The lot [01486] is cast [02904] into the lap [02436]; but the whole disposing [04941] thereof is of the LORD [03068]. 20 17 1 Better [02896] is a dry [02720] morsel [06595], and quietness [07962] therewith, than an house [01004] full [04392] of sacrifices [02077] with strife [07379]. 20 17 2 A wise [07919] servant [05650] shall have rule [04910] over a son [01121] that causeth shame [0954], and shall have part [02505] of the inheritance [05159] among [08432] the brethren [0251]. 20 17 3 The fining pot [04715] is for silver [03701], and the furnace [03564] for gold [02091]: but the LORD [03068] trieth [0974] the hearts [03826]. 20 17 4 A wicked doer [07489] giveth heed [07181] to false [0205] lips [08193]; and a liar [08267] giveth ear [0238] to a naughty [01942] tongue [03956]. 20 17 5 Whoso mocketh [03932] the poor [07326] reproacheth [02778] his Maker [06213]: and he that is glad [08056] at calamities [0343] shall not be unpunished [05352]. 20 17 6 Children's [01121] children [01121] are the crown [05850] of old men [02205]; and the glory [08597] of children [01121] are their fathers [01]. 20 17 7 Excellent [03499] speech [08193] becometh [05000] not a fool [05036]: much less do lying [08267] lips [08193] a prince [05081]. 20 17 8 A gift [07810] is as a precious [02580] stone [068] in the eyes [05869] of him that hath [01167] it: whithersoever it turneth [06437], it prospereth [07919]. 20 17 9 He that covereth [03680] a transgression [06588] seeketh [01245] love [0160]; but he that repeateth [08138] a matter [01697] separateth [06504] very friends [0441]. 20 17 10 A reproof [01606] entereth [05181] more into a wise man [0995] than an hundred [03967] stripes [05221] into a fool [03684]. 20 17 11 An evil [07451] man seeketh [01245] only rebellion [04805]: therefore a cruel [0394] messenger [04397] shall be sent [07971] against him. 20 17 12 Let a bear [01677] robbed [07909] of her whelps meet [06298] a man [0376], rather than [0408] a fool [03684] in his folly [0200]. 20 17 13 Whoso rewardeth [07725] evil [07451] for good [02896], evil [07451] shall not depart [04185] [04185] from his house [01004]. 20 17 14 The beginning [07225] of strife [04066] is as when one letteth out [06362] water [04325]: therefore leave off [05203] contention [07379], before [06440] it be meddled [01566] with. 20 17 15 He that justifieth [06663] the wicked [07563], and he that condemneth [07561] the just [06662], even they both [08147] are abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]. 20 17 16 Wherefore is there a price [04242] in the hand [03027] of a fool [03684] to get [07069] wisdom [02451], seeing he hath no heart [03820] to it? 20 17 17 A friend [07453] loveth [0157] at all times [06256], and a brother [0251] is born [03205] for adversity [06869]. 20 17 18 A man [0120] void [02638] of understanding [03820] striketh [08628] hands [03709], and becometh [06148] surety [06161] in the presence [06440] of his friend [07453]. 20 17 19 He loveth [0157] transgression [06588] that loveth [0157] strife [04683]: and he that exalteth [01361] his gate [06607] seeketh [01245] destruction [07667]. 20 17 20 He that hath a froward [06141] heart [03820] findeth [04672] no good [02896]: and he that hath a perverse [02015] tongue [03956] falleth [05307] into mischief [07451]. 20 17 21 He that begetteth [03205] a fool [03684] doeth it to his sorrow [08424]: and the father [01] of a fool [05036] hath no joy [08055]. 20 17 22 A merry [08056] heart [03820] doeth good [03190] like a medicine [01456]: but a broken [05218] spirit [07307] drieth [03001] the bones [01634]. 20 17 23 A wicked [07563] man taketh [03947] a gift [07810] out of the bosom [02436] to pervert [05186] the ways [0734] of judgment [04941]. 20 17 24 Wisdom [02451] is before him that hath understanding [06440] [0995]; but the eyes [05869] of a fool [03684] are in the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]. 20 17 25 A foolish [03684] son [01121] is a grief [03708] to his father [01], and bitterness [04470] to her that bare [03205] him. 20 17 26 Also to punish [06064] the just [06662] is not good [02896], nor to strike [05221] princes [05081] for equity [03476]. 20 17 27 He that hath [03045] knowledge [01847] spareth [02820] his words [0561]: and a man [0376] of understanding [08394] is of an excellent [03368] [07119] spirit [07307]. 20 17 28 Even a fool [0191], when he holdeth his peace [02790], is counted [02803] wise [02450]: and he that shutteth [0331] his lips [08193] is esteemed a man of understanding [0995]. 20 18 1 Through desire [08378] a man, having separated [06504] himself, seeketh [01245] and intermeddleth [01566] with all wisdom [08454]. 20 18 2 A fool [03684] hath no delight [02654] in understanding [08394], but that his heart [03820] may discover [01540] itself. 20 18 3 When the wicked [07563] cometh [0935], then cometh [0935] also contempt [0937], and with ignominy [07036] reproach [02781]. 20 18 4 The words [01697] of a man's [0376] mouth [06310] are as deep [06013] waters [04325], and the wellspring [04726] of wisdom [02451] as a flowing [05042] brook [05158]. 20 18 5 It is not good [02896] to accept [05375] the person [06440] of the wicked [07563], to overthrow [05186] the righteous [06662] in judgment [04941]. 20 18 6 A fool's [03684] lips [08193] enter [0935] into contention [07379], and his mouth [06310] calleth [07121] for strokes [04112]. 20 18 7 A fool's [03684] mouth [06310] is his destruction [04288], and his lips [08193] are the snare [04170] of his soul [05315]. 20 18 8 The words [01697] of a talebearer [05372] are as wounds [03859], and they go down [03381] into the innermost parts [02315] of the belly [0990]. 20 18 9 He also that is slothful [07503] in his work [04399] is brother [0251] to him that is a great [01167] waster [07843]. 20 18 10 The name [08034] of the LORD [03068] is a strong [05797] tower [04026]: the righteous [06662] runneth [07323] into it, and is safe [07682]. 20 18 11 The rich man's [06223] wealth [01952] is his strong [05797] city [07151], and as an high [07682] wall [02346] in his own conceit [04906]. 20 18 12 Before [06440] destruction [07667] the heart [03820] of man [0376] is haughty [01361], and before [06440] honour [03519] is humility [06038]. 20 18 13 He that answereth [07725] a matter [01697] before he heareth [08085] it, it is folly [0200] and shame [03639] unto him. 20 18 14 The spirit [07307] of a man [0376] will sustain [03557] his infirmity [04245]; but a wounded [05218] spirit [07307] who can bear [05375]? 20 18 15 The heart [03820] of the prudent [0995] getteth [07069] knowledge [01847]; and the ear [0241] of the wise [02450] seeketh [01245] knowledge [01847]. 20 18 16 A man's [0120] gift [04976] maketh room [07337] for him, and bringeth [05148] him before [06440] great men [01419]. 20 18 17 He that is first [07223] in his own cause [07379] seemeth just [06662]; but his neighbour [07453] cometh [0935] [0935] and searcheth [02713] him. 20 18 18 The lot [01486] causeth contentions [04079] to cease [07673], and parteth [06504] between the mighty [06099]. 20 18 19 A brother [0251] offended [06586] is harder to be won than a strong [05797] city [07151]: and their contentions [04079] [04066] are like the bars [01280] of a castle [0759]. 20 18 20 A man's [0376] belly [0990] shall be satisfied [07646] with the fruit [06529] of his mouth [06310]; and with the increase [08393] of his lips [08193] shall he be filled [07646]. 20 18 21 Death [04194] and life [02416] are in the power [03027] of the tongue [03956]: and they that love [0157] it shall eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof. 20 18 22 Whoso findeth [04672] a wife [0802] findeth [04672] a good [02896] thing, and obtaineth [06329] favour [07522] of the LORD [03068]. 20 18 23 The poor [07326] useth [01696] intreaties [08469]; but the rich [06223] answereth [06030] roughly [05794]. 20 18 24 A man [0376] that hath friends [07453] must shew himself friendly [07489]: and there is [03426] a friend [0157] that sticketh closer [01695] than a brother [0251]. 20 19 1 Better [02896] is the poor [07326] that walketh [01980] in his integrity [08537], than he that is perverse [06141] in his lips [08193], and is a fool [03684]. 20 19 2 Also, that the soul [05315] be without knowledge [01847], it is not good [02896]; and he that hasteth [0213] with his feet [07272] sinneth [02398]. 20 19 3 The foolishness [0200] of man [0120] perverteth [05557] his way [01870]: and his heart [03820] fretteth [02196] against the LORD [03068]. 20 19 4 Wealth [01952] maketh [03254] many [07227] friends [07453]; but the poor [01800] is separated [06504] from his neighbour [07453]. 20 19 5 A false [08267] witness [05707] shall not be unpunished [05352], and he that speaketh [06315] lies [03577] shall not escape [04422]. 20 19 6 Many [07227] will intreat [02470] the favour [06440] of the prince [05081]: and every man is a friend [07453] to him [0376] that giveth gifts [04976]. 20 19 7 All the brethren [0251] of the poor [07326] do hate [08130] him: how much more do his friends [04828] go far [07368] from him? he pursueth [07291] them with words [0561], yet they are wanting to him. 20 19 8 He that getteth [07069] wisdom [03820] loveth [0157] his own soul [05315]: he that keepeth [08104] understanding [08394] shall find [04672] good [02896]. 20 19 9 A false [08267] witness [05707] shall not be unpunished [05352], and he that speaketh [06315] lies [03577] shall perish [06]. 20 19 10 Delight [08588] is not seemly [05000] for a fool [03684]; much less for a servant [05650] to have rule [04910] over princes [08269]. 20 19 11 The discretion [07922] of a man [0120] deferreth [0748] his anger [0639]; and it is his glory [08597] to pass over [05674] a transgression [06588]. 20 19 12 The king's [04428] wrath [02197] is as the roaring [05099] of a lion [03715]; but his favour [07522] is as dew [02919] upon the grass [06212]. 20 19 13 A foolish [03684] son [01121] is the calamity [01942] of his father [01]: and the contentions [04079] of a wife [0802] are a continual [02956] dropping [01812]. 20 19 14 House [01004] and riches [01952] are the inheritance [05159] of fathers [01]: and a prudent [07919] wife [0802] is from the LORD [03068]. 20 19 15 Slothfulness [06103] casteth [05307] into a deep sleep [08639]; and an idle [07423] soul [05315] shall suffer hunger [07456]. 20 19 16 He that keepeth [08104] the commandment [04687] keepeth [08104] his own soul [05315]; but he that despiseth [0959] his ways [01870] shall die [04191]. 20 19 17 He that hath pity [02603] upon the poor [01800] lendeth [03867] unto the LORD [03068]; and that which he hath given [01576] will he pay him again [07999]. 20 19 18 Chasten [03256] thy son [01121] while there is [03426] hope [08615], and let not thy soul [05315] spare [05375] for his crying [04191]. 20 19 19 A man [01419] of great [01632] wrath [02534] shall suffer [05375] punishment [06066]: for if thou deliver [05337] him, yet thou must do it again [03254]. 20 19 20 Hear [08085] counsel [06098], and receive [06901] instruction [04148], that thou mayest be wise [02449] in thy latter end [0319]. 20 19 21 There are many [07227] devices [04284] in a man's [0376] heart [03820]; nevertheless the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068], that shall stand [06965]. 20 19 22 The desire [08378] of a man [0120] is his kindness [02617]: and a poor man [07326] is better [02896] than [0376] a liar [03577]. 20 19 23 The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] tendeth to life [02416]: and he that hath it shall abide [03885] satisfied [07649]; he shall not be visited [06485] with evil [07451]. 20 19 24 A slothful [06102] man hideth [02934] his hand [03027] in his bosom [06747], and will not so much as bring [07725] it to his mouth [06310] again [07725]. 20 19 25 Smite [05221] a scorner [03887], and the simple [06612] will beware [06191]: and reprove [03198] one that hath understanding [0995], and he will understand [0995] knowledge [01847]. 20 19 26 He that wasteth [07703] his father [01], and chaseth away [01272] his mother [0517], is a son [01121] that causeth shame [0954], and bringeth reproach [02659]. 20 19 27 Cease [02308], my son [01121], to hear [08085] the instruction [04148] that causeth to err [07686] from the words [0561] of knowledge [01847]. 20 19 28 An ungodly [01100] witness [05707] scorneth [03887] judgment [04941]: and the mouth [06310] of the wicked [07563] devoureth [01104] iniquity [0205]. 20 19 29 Judgments [08201] are prepared [03559] for scorners [03887], and stripes [04112] for the back [01460] of fools [03684]. 20 20 1 Wine [03196] is a mocker [03887], strong drink [07941] is raging [01993]: and whosoever is deceived [07686] thereby is not wise [02449]. 20 20 2 The fear [0367] of a king [04428] is as the roaring [05099] of a lion [03715]: whoso provoketh him to anger [05674] sinneth [02398] against his own soul [05315]. 20 20 3 It is an honour [03519] for a man [0376] to cease [07674] from strife [07379]: but every fool [0191] will be meddling [01566]. 20 20 4 The sluggard [06102] will not plow [02790] by reason of the cold [02779]; therefore shall he beg [07592] [07592] in harvest [07105], and have nothing. 20 20 5 Counsel [06098] in the heart [03820] of man [0376] is like deep [06013] water [04325]; but a man [0376] of understanding [08394] will draw it out [01802]. 20 20 6 Most [07230] men [0120] will proclaim [07121] every one [0376] his own goodness [02617]: but a faithful [0529] man [0376] who can find [04672]? 20 20 7 The just [06662] man walketh [01980] in his integrity [08537]: his children [01121] are blessed [0835] after [0310] him. 20 20 8 A king [04428] that sitteth in [03427] the throne [03678] of judgment [01779] scattereth away [02219] all evil [07451] with his eyes [05869]. 20 20 9 Who can say [0559], I have made my heart [03820] clean [02135], I am pure [02891] from my sin [02403]? 20 20 10 Divers weights [068] [068], and divers measures [0374] [0374], both [08147] of them are alike [01571] abomination [08441] to the LORD [03068]. 20 20 11 Even a child [05288] is known [05234] by his doings [04611], whether his work [06467] be pure [02134], and whether it be right [03477]. 20 20 12 The hearing [08085] ear [0241], and the seeing [07200] eye [05869], the LORD [03068] hath made [06213] even both [08147] of them. 20 20 13 Love [0157] not sleep [08142], lest thou come to poverty [03423]; open [06491] thine eyes [05869], and thou shalt be satisfied [07646] with bread [03899]. 20 20 14 It is naught [07451], it is naught [07451], saith [0559] the buyer [07069]: but when he is gone [0235] his way, then he boasteth [01984]. 20 20 15 There is [03426] gold [02091], and a multitude [07230] of rubies [06443]: but the lips [08193] of knowledge [01847] are a precious [03366] jewel [03627]. 20 20 16 Take [03947] his garment [0899] that is surety [06148] for a stranger [02114]: and take a pledge [02254] of him for a strange woman [05237]. 20 20 17 Bread [03899] of deceit [08267] is sweet [06156] to a man [0376]; but afterwards [0310] his mouth [06310] shall be filled [04390] with gravel [02687]. 20 20 18 Every purpose [04284] is established [03559] by counsel [06098]: and with good advice [08458] make [06213] war [04421]. 20 20 19 He that goeth about [01980] as a talebearer [07400] revealeth [01540] secrets [05475]: therefore meddle [06148] not with him that flattereth [06601] with his lips [08193]. 20 20 20 Whoso curseth [07043] his father [01] or his mother [0517], his lamp [05216] shall be put out [01846] in obscure [0380] [0380] darkness [02822]. 20 20 21 An inheritance [05159] may be gotten hastily [0926] [0973] at the beginning [07223]; but the end [0319] thereof shall not be blessed [01288]. 20 20 22 Say [0559] not thou, I will recompense [07999] evil [07451]; but wait on [06960] the LORD [03068], and he shall save [03467] thee. 20 20 23 Divers weights [068] [068] are an abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068]; and a false [04820] balance [03976] is not good [02896]. 20 20 24 Man's [01397] goings [04703] are of the LORD [03068]; how can a man [0120] then understand [0995] his own way [01870]? 20 20 25 It is a snare [04170] to the man [0120] who devoureth [03216] that which is holy [06944], and after [0310] vows [05088] to make enquiry [01239]. 20 20 26 A wise [02450] king [04428] scattereth [02219] the wicked [07563], and bringeth [07725] the wheel [0212] over them. 20 20 27 The spirit [05397] of man [0120] is the candle [05216] of the LORD [03068], searching [02664] all the inward parts [02315] of the belly [0990]. 20 20 28 Mercy [02617] and truth [0571] preserve [05341] the king [04428]: and his throne [03678] is upholden [05582] by mercy [02617]. 20 20 29 The glory [08597] of young men [0970] is their strength [03581]: and the beauty [01926] of old men [02205] is the gray head [07872]. 20 20 30 The blueness [02250] of a wound [06482] cleanseth [08562] away evil [07451]: so do stripes [04347] the inward parts [02315] of the belly [0990]. 20 21 1 The king's [04428] heart [03820] is in the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068], as the rivers [06388] of water [04325]: he turneth [05186] it whithersoever he will [02654]. 20 21 2 Every way [01870] of a man [0376] is right [03477] in his own eyes [05869]: but the LORD [03068] pondereth [08505] the hearts [03826]. 20 21 3 To do [06213] justice [06666] and judgment [04941] is more acceptable [0977] to the LORD [03068] than sacrifice [02077]. 20 21 4 An high [07312] look [05869], and a proud [07342] heart [03820], and the plowing [05215] of the wicked [07563], is sin [02403]. 20 21 5 The thoughts [04284] of the diligent [02742] tend only to plenteousness [04195]; but of every one that is hasty [0213] only to want [04270]. 20 21 6 The getting [06467] of treasures [0214] by a lying [08267] tongue [03956] is a vanity [01892] tossed to and fro of [05086] them that seek [01245] death [04194]. 20 21 7 The robbery [07701] of the wicked [07563] shall destroy [01641] them; because they refuse [03985] to do [06213] judgment [04941]. 20 21 8 The way [01870] of man [0376] is froward [02019] and strange [02054]: but as for the pure [02134], his work [06467] is right [03477]. 20 21 9 It is better [02896] to dwell [03427] in a corner [06438] of the housetop [01406], than with a brawling [04079] [04066] woman [0802] in a wide [02267] house [01004]. 20 21 10 The soul [05315] of the wicked [07563] desireth [0183] evil [07451]: his neighbour [07453] findeth no favour [02603] in his eyes [05869]. 20 21 11 When the scorner [03887] is punished [06064], the simple [06612] is made wise [02449]: and when the wise [02450] is instructed [07919], he receiveth [03947] knowledge [01847]. 20 21 12 The righteous [06662] man wisely considereth [07919] the house [01004] of the wicked [07563]: but God overthroweth [05557] the wicked [07563] for their wickedness [07451]. 20 21 13 Whoso stoppeth [0331] his ears [0241] at the cry [02201] of the poor [01800], he also shall cry [07121] himself, but shall not be heard [06030]. 20 21 14 A gift [04976] in secret [05643] pacifieth [03711] anger [0639]: and a reward [07810] in the bosom [02436] strong [05794] wrath [02534]. 20 21 15 It is joy [08057] to the just [06662] to do [06213] judgment [04941]: but destruction [04288] shall be to the workers [06466] of iniquity [0205]. 20 21 16 The man [0120] that wandereth [08582] out of the way [01870] of understanding [07919] shall remain [05117] in the congregation [06951] of the dead [07496]. 20 21 17 He that loveth [0157] pleasure [08057] shall be a poor [04270] man [0376]: he that loveth [0157] wine [03196] and oil [08081] shall not be rich [06238]. 20 21 18 The wicked [07563] shall be a ransom [03724] for the righteous [06662], and the transgressor [0898] for the upright [03477]. 20 21 19 It is better [02896] to dwell [03427] in the wilderness [0776] [04057], than with a contentious [04079] [04066] and an angry [03708] woman [0802]. 20 21 20 There is treasure [0214] to be desired [02530] and oil [08081] in the dwelling [05116] of the wise [02450]; but a foolish [03684] man [0120] spendeth it up [01104]. 20 21 21 He that followeth [07291] after righteousness [06666] and mercy [02617] findeth [04672] life [02416], righteousness [06666], and honour [03519]. 20 21 22 A wise [02450] man scaleth [05927] the city [05892] of the mighty [01368], and casteth down [03381] the strength [05797] of the confidence [04009] thereof. 20 21 23 Whoso keepeth [08104] his mouth [06310] and his tongue [03956] keepeth [08104] his soul [05315] from troubles [06869]. 20 21 24 Proud [02086] and haughty [03093] scorner [03887] is his name [08034], who dealeth [06213] in proud [02087] wrath [05678]. 20 21 25 The desire [08378] of the slothful [06102] killeth [04191] him; for his hands [03027] refuse [03985] to labour [06213]. 20 21 26 He coveteth [0183] greedily [08378] all the day [03117] long: but the righteous [06662] giveth [05414] and spareth [02820] not. 20 21 27 The sacrifice [02077] of the wicked [07563] is abomination [08441]: how much more, when he bringeth [0935] it with a wicked mind [02154]? 20 21 28 A false [03577] witness [05707] shall perish [06]: but the man [0376] that heareth [08085] speaketh [01696] constantly [05331]. 20 21 29 A wicked [07563] man [0376] hardeneth [05810] his face [06440]: but as for the upright [03477], he directeth [0995] [03559] his way [01870]. 20 21 30 There is no wisdom [02451] nor understanding [08394] nor counsel [06098] against the LORD [03068]. 20 21 31 The horse [05483] is prepared [03559] against the day [03117] of battle [04421]: but safety [08668] is of the LORD [03068]. 20 22 1 A good name [08034] is rather to be chosen [0977] than great [07227] riches [06239], and loving [02896] favour [02580] rather than silver [03701] and gold [02091]. 20 22 2 The rich [06223] and poor [07326] meet together [06298]: the LORD [03068] is the maker [06213] of them all. 20 22 3 A prudent [06175] man foreseeth [07200] the evil [07451], and hideth [05641] [05641] himself: but the simple [06612] pass on [05674], and are punished [06064]. 20 22 4 By [06118] humility [06038] and the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] are riches [06239], and honour [03519], and life [02416]. 20 22 5 Thorns [06791] and snares [06341] are in the way [01870] of the froward [06141]: he that doth keep [08104] his soul [05315] shall be far [07368] from them. 20 22 6 Train up [02596] a child [05288] in the way [01870] he should go [06310]: and when he is old [02204], he will not depart [05493] from it. 20 22 7 The rich [06223] ruleth [04910] over the poor [07326], and the borrower [03867] is servant [05650] to the lender [0376] [03867]. 20 22 8 He that soweth [02232] iniquity [05766] shall reap [07114] vanity [0205]: and the rod [07626] of his anger [05678] shall fail [03615]. 20 22 9 He that hath a bountiful [02896] eye [05869] shall be blessed [01288]; for he giveth [05414] of his bread [03899] to the poor [01800]. 20 22 10 Cast out [01644] the scorner [03887], and contention [04066] shall go out [03318]; yea, strife [01779] and reproach [07036] shall cease [07673]. 20 22 11 He that loveth [0157] pureness [02890] [02889] of heart [03820], for the grace [02580] of his lips [08193] the king [04428] shall be his friend [07453]. 20 22 12 The eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068] preserve [05341] knowledge [01847], and he overthroweth [05557] the words [01697] of the transgressor [0898]. 20 22 13 The slothful [06102] man saith [0559], There is a lion [0738] without [02351], I shall be slain [07523] in [08432] the streets [07339]. 20 22 14 The mouth [06310] of strange women [02114] is a deep [06013] pit [07745]: he that is abhorred [02194] of the LORD [03068] shall fall [05307] therein. 20 22 15 Foolishness [0200] is bound [07194] in the heart [03820] of a child [05288]; but the rod [07626] of correction [04148] shall drive it far [07368] from him. 20 22 16 He that oppresseth [06231] the poor [01800] to increase [07235] his riches, and he that giveth [05414] to the rich [06223], shall surely come to want [04270]. 20 22 17 Bow down [05186] thine ear [0241], and hear [08085] the words [01697] of the wise [02450], and apply [07896] thine heart [03820] unto my knowledge [01847]. 20 22 18 For it is a pleasant thing [05273] if thou keep [08104] them within [0990] thee; they shall withal [03162] be fitted [03559] in thy lips [08193]. 20 22 19 That thy trust [04009] may be in the LORD [03068], I have made known [03045] to thee this day [03117], even to thee. 20 22 20 Have not I written [03789] to thee [08032] excellent things [07991] in counsels [04156] and knowledge [01847], 20 22 21 That I might make thee know [03045] the certainty [07189] of the words [0561] of truth [0571]; that thou mightest answer [07725] the words [0561] of truth [0571] to them that send [07971] unto thee? 20 22 22 Rob [01497] not the poor [01800], because he is poor [01800]: neither oppress [01792] the afflicted [06041] in the gate [08179]: 20 22 23 For the LORD [03068] will plead [07378] their cause [07379], and spoil [06906] the soul [05315] of those that spoiled [06906] them. 20 22 24 Make no friendship [07462] with an angry [0639] man [01167]; and with a furious [02534] man [0376] thou shalt not go [0935]: 20 22 25 Lest thou learn [0502] his ways [0734], and get [03947] a snare [04170] to thy soul [05315]. 20 22 26 Be not thou one of them that strike [08628] hands [03709], or of them that are sureties [06148] for debts [04859]. 20 22 27 If thou hast nothing to pay [07999], why should he take away [03947] thy bed [04904] from under thee? 20 22 28 Remove [05253] not the ancient [05769] landmark [01366], which thy fathers [01] have set [06213]. 20 22 29 Seest [02372] thou a man [0376] diligent [04106] in his business [04399]? he shall stand [03320] before [06440] kings [04428]; he shall not stand [03320] before [06440] mean [02823] men. 20 23 1 When thou sittest [03427] to eat [03898] with a ruler [04910], consider [0995] diligently [0995] what is before [06440] thee: 20 23 2 And put [07760] a knife [07915] to thy throat [03930], if thou be a man given [01167] to appetite [05315]. 20 23 3 Be not desirous [0183] of his dainties [04303]: for they are deceitful [03577] meat [03899]. 20 23 4 Labour [03021] not to be rich [06238]: cease [02308] from thine own wisdom [0998]. 20 23 5 Wilt thou set [05774] [05774] thine eyes [05869] upon that which is not? for riches certainly [06213] make [06213] themselves wings [03671]; they fly away [05774] [05774] as an eagle [05404] toward heaven [08064]. 20 23 6 Eat [03898] thou not the bread [03899] of him that hath an evil [07451] eye [05869], neither desire [0183] thou his dainty meats [04303]: 20 23 7 For as he thinketh [08176] in his heart [05315], so is he: Eat [0398] and drink [08354], saith [0559] he to thee; but his heart [03820] is not with thee. 20 23 8 The morsel [06595] which thou hast eaten [0398] shalt thou vomit up [06958], and lose [07843] thy sweet [05273] words [01697]. 20 23 9 Speak [01696] not in the ears [0241] of a fool [03684]: for he will despise [0936] the wisdom [07922] of thy words [04405]. 20 23 10 Remove [05253] not the old [05769] landmark [01366]; and enter [0935] not into the fields [07704] of the fatherless [03490]: 20 23 11 For their redeemer [01350] is mighty [02389]; he shall plead [07378] their cause [07379] with thee. 20 23 12 Apply [0935] thine heart [03820] unto instruction [04148], and thine ears [0241] to the words [0561] of knowledge [01847]. 20 23 13 Withhold [04513] not correction [04148] from the child [05288]: for if thou beatest [05221] him with the rod [07626], he shall not die [04191]. 20 23 14 Thou shalt beat [05221] him with the rod [07626], and shalt deliver [05337] his soul [05315] from hell [07585]. 20 23 15 My son [01121], if thine heart [03820] be wise [02449], my heart [03820] shall rejoice [08055], even mine [0589]. 20 23 16 Yea, my reins [03629] shall rejoice [05937], when thy lips [08193] speak [01696] right things [04339]. 20 23 17 Let not thine heart [03820] envy [07065] sinners [02400]: but be thou in the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] all the day [03117] long. 20 23 18 For surely there is [03426] an end [0319]; and thine expectation [08615] shall not be cut off [03772]. 20 23 19 Hear [08085] thou, my son [01121], and be wise [02449], and guide [0833] thine heart [03820] in the way [01870]. 20 23 20 Be not among winebibbers [03196] [05433]; among riotous eaters [02151] of flesh [01320]: 20 23 21 For the drunkard [05433] and the glutton [02151] shall come to poverty [03423]: and drowsiness [05124] shall clothe [03847] a man with rags [07168]. 20 23 22 Hearken [08085] unto thy father [01] that begat [03205] thee, and despise [0936] not thy mother [0517] when she is old [02204]. 20 23 23 Buy [07069] the truth [0571], and sell [04376] it not; also wisdom [02451], and instruction [04148], and understanding [0998]. 20 23 24 The father [01] of the righteous [06662] shall greatly [01524] rejoice [01523]: and he that begetteth [03205] a wise [02450] child shall have joy [08055] of him. 20 23 25 Thy father [01] and thy mother [0517] shall be glad [08055], and she that bare [03205] thee shall rejoice [01523]. 20 23 26 My son [01121], give [05414] me thine heart [03820], and let thine eyes [05869] observe [07521] [05341] my ways [01870]. 20 23 27 For a whore [02181] is a deep [06013] ditch [07745]; and a strange woman [05237] is a narrow [06862] pit [0875]. 20 23 28 She also lieth in wait [0693] as for a prey [02863], and increaseth [03254] the transgressors [0898] among men [0120]. 20 23 29 Who hath woe [0188]? who hath sorrow [017]? who hath contentions [04079] [04066]? who hath babbling [07879]? who hath wounds [06482] without cause [02600]? who hath redness [02448] of eyes [05869]? 20 23 30 They that tarry long [0309] at the wine [03196]; they that go [0935] to seek [02713] mixed wine [04469]. 20 23 31 Look [07200] not thou upon the wine [03196] when it is red [0119], when it giveth [05414] his colour [05869] in the cup [03563] [03599], when it moveth [01980] itself aright [04339]. 20 23 32 At the last [0319] it biteth [05391] like a serpent [05175], and stingeth [06567] like an adder [06848]. 20 23 33 Thine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] strange women [02114], and thine heart [03820] shall utter [01696] perverse things [08419]. 20 23 34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down [07901] in the midst [03820] of the sea [03220], or as he that lieth [07901] upon the top [07218] of a mast [02260]. 20 23 35 They have stricken [05221] me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick [02470]; they have beaten [01986] me, and I felt [03045] it not: when shall I awake [06974]? I will seek [01245] it yet[03254] again. 20 24 1 Be not thou envious [07065] against evil [07451] men [0582], neither desire [0183] to be with them. 20 24 2 For their heart [03820] studieth [01897] destruction [07701], and their lips [08193] talk [01696] of mischief [05999]. 20 24 3 Through wisdom [02451] is an house [01004] builded [01129]; and by understanding [08394] it is established [03559]: 20 24 4 And by knowledge [01847] shall the chambers [02315] be filled [04390] with all precious [03368] and pleasant [05273] riches [01952]. 20 24 5 A wise [02450] man [01397] is strong [05797]; yea, a man [0376] of knowledge [01847] increaseth [0553] strength [03581]. 20 24 6 For by wise counsel [08458] thou shalt make [06213] thy war [04421]: and in multitude [07230] of counsellors [03289] there is safety [08668]. 20 24 7 Wisdom [02454] is too high [07311] for a fool [0191]: he openeth [06605] not his mouth [06310] in the gate [08179]. 20 24 8 He that deviseth [02803] to do evil [07489] shall be called [07121] a mischievous [04209] person [01167]. 20 24 9 The thought [02154] of foolishness [0200] is sin [02403]: and the scorner [03887] is an abomination [08441] to men [0120]. 20 24 10 If thou faint [07503] in the day [03117] of adversity [06869], thy strength [03581] is small [06862]. 20 24 11 If thou forbear [02820] to deliver [05337] them that are drawn [03947] unto death [04194], and those that are ready [04131] to be slain [02027]; 20 24 12 If thou sayest [0559], Behold, we knew [03045] it not; doth not he that pondereth [08505] the heart [03826] consider [0995] it? and he that keepeth [05341] thy soul [05315], doth not he know[03045] it? and shall not he render [07725] to every man [0120] according to his works [06467]? 20 24 13 My son [01121], eat [0398] thou honey [01706], because it is good [02896]; and the honeycomb [05317], which is sweet [04966] to thy taste [02441]: 20 24 14 So shall the knowledge [03045] of wisdom [02451] be unto thy soul [05315]: when thou hast found [04672] it, then there shall be [03426] a reward [0319], and thy expectation [08615] shall not be cut off [03772](8735). 20 24 15 Lay not wait [0693], O wicked [07563] man, against the dwelling [05116] of the righteous [06662]; spoil [07703] not his resting place [07258]: 20 24 16 For a just [06662] man falleth [05307] seven times [07651], and riseth up again [06965]: but the wicked [07563] shall fall [03782] into mischief [07451]. 20 24 17 Rejoice [08055] not when thine enemy [0341] falleth [05307], and let not thine heart [03820] be glad [01523] when he stumbleth [03782]: 20 24 18 Lest the LORD [03068] see [07200] it, and it displease [07489] [05869] him, and he turn away [07725] his wrath [0639] from him. 20 24 19 Fret [02734] not thyself because of evil [07489] men, neither be thou envious [07065] at the wicked [07563]; 20 24 20 For there shall be no reward [0319] to the evil [07451] man; the candle [05216] of the wicked [07563] shall be put out [01846]. 20 24 21 My son [01121], fear [03372] thou the LORD [03068] and the king [04428]: and meddle [06148] not with them that are given to change [08138]: 20 24 22 For their calamity [0343] shall rise [06965] suddenly [06597]; and who knoweth [03045] the ruin [06365] of them both [08147]? 20 24 23 These things also belong to the wise [02450]. It is not good [02896] to have respect [05234] of persons [06440] in judgment [04941]. 20 24 24 He that saith [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou art righteous [06662]; him shall the people [05971] curse [05344], nations [03816] shall abhor [02194] him: 20 24 25 But to them that rebuke [03198] him shall be delight [05276], and a good [02896] blessing [01293] shall come [0935] upon them. 20 24 26 Every man shall kiss [05401] his lips [08193] that giveth [07725] a right [05228] answer [01697]. 20 24 27 Prepare [03559] thy work [04399] without [02351], and make it fit [06257] for thyself in the field [07704]; and afterwards [0310] build [01129] thine house [01004]. 20 24 28 Be not a witness [05707] against thy neighbour [07453] without cause [02600]; and deceive [06601] not with thy lips [08193]. 20 24 29 Say [0559] not, I will do [06213] so to him as he hath done [06213] to me: I will render [07725] to the man [0376] according to his work [06467]. 20 24 30 I went [05674] by the field [07704] of the slothful [0376] [06102], and by the vineyard [03754] of the man [0120] void [02638] of understanding [03820]; 20 24 31 And, lo, it was all grown over [05927] with thorns [07063], and nettles [02738] had covered [03680] the face [06440] thereof, and the stone [068] wall [01444] thereof was broken down [02040]. 20 24 32 Then I saw [02372], and considered it well [07896] [03820]: I looked [07200] upon it, and received [03947] instruction [04148]. 20 24 33 Yet a little [04592] sleep [08142], a little [04592] slumber [08572], a little [04592] folding [02264] of the hands [03027] to sleep [07901]: 20 24 34 So shall thy poverty [07389] come [0935] as one that travelleth [01980]; and thy want [04270] as an armed [04043] man [0376]. 20 25 1 These are also proverbs [04912] of Solomon [08010], which the men [0582] of Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] copied out [06275]. 20 25 2 It is the glory [03519] of God [0430] to conceal [05641] a thing [01697]: but the honour [03519] of kings [04428] is to search out [02713] a matter [01697]. 20 25 3 The heaven [08064] for height [07312], and the earth [0776] for depth [06011], and the heart [03820] of kings [04428] is unsearchable [02714]. 20 25 4 Take away [01898] the dross [05509] from the silver [03701], and there shall come forth [03318] a vessel [03627] for the finer [06884]. 20 25 5 Take away [01898] the wicked [07563] from before [06440] the king [04428], and his throne [03678] shall be established [03559] in righteousness [06664]. 20 25 6 Put not forth [01921] thyself in the presence [06440] of the king [04428], and stand [05975] not in the place [04725] of great [01419] men: 20 25 7 For better [02896] it is that it be said [0559] unto thee, Come up [05927] hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower [08213] in the presence [06440] of the prince [05081] whom thine eyes [05869] haveseen [07200]. 20 25 8 Go not forth [03318] hastily [04118] to strive [07378], lest thou know not what to do [06213] in the end [0319] thereof, when thy neighbour [07453] hath put thee to shame [03637]. 20 25 9 Debate [07378] thy cause [07379] with thy neighbour [07453] himself; and discover [01540] not a secret [05475] to another [0312]: 20 25 10 Lest he that heareth [08085] it put thee to shame [02616], and thine infamy [01681] turn not away [07725]. 20 25 11 A word [01697] fitly [0212] [0655] spoken [01696] is like apples [08598] of gold [02091] in pictures [04906] of silver [03701]. 20 25 12 As an earring [05141] of gold [02091], and an ornament [02481] of fine gold [03800], so is a wise [02450] reprover [03198] upon an obedient [08085] ear [0241]. 20 25 13 As the cold [06793] of snow [07950] in the time [03117] of harvest [07105], so is a faithful [0539] messenger [06735] to them that send [07971] him: for he refresheth [07725] the soul [05315] of his masters[0113]. 20 25 14 Whoso [0376] boasteth [01984] himself of a false [08267] gift [04991] is like clouds [05387] and wind [07307] without rain [01653]. 20 25 15 By long [0753] forbearing [0639] is a prince [07101] persuaded [06601], and a soft [07390] tongue [03956] breaketh [07665] the bone [01634]. 20 25 16 Hast thou found [04672] honey [01706]? eat [0398] so much as is sufficient [01767] for thee, lest thou be filled [07646] therewith, and vomit [06958] it. 20 25 17 Withdraw [03365] thy foot [07272] from thy neighbour's [07453] house [01004]; lest he be weary [07646] of thee, and so hate [08130] thee. 20 25 18 A man [0376] that beareth [06030] false [08267] witness [05707] against his neighbour [07453] is a maul [04650], and a sword [02719], and a sharp [08150] arrow [02671]. 20 25 19 Confidence [04009] in an unfaithful man [0898] in time [03117] of trouble [06869] is like a broken [07465] tooth [08127], and a foot [07272] out of joint [04154]. 20 25 20 As he that taketh away [05710] a garment [0899] in cold [07135] weather [03117], and as vinegar [02558] upon nitre [05427], so is he that singeth [07891] songs [07892] to an heavy [07451] heart [03820]. 20 25 21 If thine enemy [08130] be hungry [07457], give him bread [03899] to eat [0398]; and if he be thirsty [06771], give him water [04325] to drink [08248]: 20 25 22 For thou shalt heap [02846] coals of fire [01513] upon his head [07218], and the LORD [03068] shall reward [07999] thee. 20 25 23 The north [06828] wind [07307] driveth away [02342] rain [01653]: so doth an angry [02194] countenance [06440] a backbiting [05643] tongue [03956]. 20 25 24 It is better [02896] to dwell [03427] in the corner [06438] of the housetop [01406], than with a brawling [04079] [04066] woman [0802] and in a wide [02267] house [01004]. 20 25 25 As cold [07119] waters [04325] to a thirsty [05889] soul [05315], so is good [02896] news [08052] from a far [04801] country [0776]. 20 25 26 A righteous [06662] man falling down [04131] before [06440] the wicked [07563] is as a troubled [07515] fountain [04599], and a corrupt [07843] spring [04726]. 20 25 27 It is not good [02896] to eat [0398] much [07235] honey [01706]: so for men to search [02714] their own glory [03519] is not glory [03519]. 20 25 28 He [0376] that hath no rule [04623] over his own spirit [07307] is like a city [05892] that is broken down [06555], and without walls [02346]. 20 26 1 As snow [07950] in summer [07019], and as rain [04306] in harvest [07105], so honour [03519] is not seemly [05000] for a fool [03684]. 20 26 2 As the bird [06833] by wandering [05110], as the swallow [01866] by flying [05774], so the curse [07045] causeless [02600] shall not come [0935]. 20 26 3 A whip [07752] for the horse [05483], a bridle [04964] for the ass [02543], and a rod [07626] for the fool's [03684] back [01460]. 20 26 4 Answer [06030] not a fool [03684] according to his folly [0200], lest thou also be like [07737] unto him. 20 26 5 Answer [06030] a fool [03684] according to his folly [0200], lest he be wise [02450] in his own conceit [05869]. 20 26 6 He that sendeth [07971] a message [01697] by the hand [03027] of a fool [03684] cutteth off [07096] the feet [07272], and drinketh [08354] damage [02555]. 20 26 7 The legs [07785] of the lame [06455] are not equal [01809]: so is a parable [04912] in the mouth [06310] of fools [03684]. 20 26 8 As he that bindeth [06872] [06887] a stone [068] in a sling [04773], so is he that giveth [05414] honour [03519] to a fool [03684]. 20 26 9 As a thorn [02336] goeth up [05927] into the hand [03027] of a drunkard [07910], so is a parable [04912] in the mouth [06310] of fools [03684]. 20 26 10 The great [07227] God that formed [02342] all things both rewardeth [07936] the fool [03684], and rewardeth [07936] transgressors [05674]. 20 26 11 As a dog [03611] returneth [07725] to his vomit [06892], so a fool [03684] returneth [08138] to his folly [0200]. 20 26 12 Seest [07200] thou a man [0376] wise [02450] in his own conceit [05869]? there is more hope [08615] of a fool [03684] than of him. 20 26 13 The slothful [06102] man saith [0559], There is a lion [07826] in the way [01870]; a lion [0738] is in the streets [07339]. 20 26 14 As the door [01817] turneth [05437] upon his hinges [06735], so doth the slothful [06102] upon his bed [04296]. 20 26 15 The slothful [06102] hideth [02934] his hand [03027] in his bosom [06747]; it grieveth [03811] him to bring it again [07725] to his mouth [06310]. 20 26 16 The sluggard [06102] is wiser [02450] in his own conceit [05869] than seven men [07651] that can render [07725] a reason [02940]. 20 26 17 He that passeth by [05674], and meddleth [05674] with strife [07379] belonging not to him, is like one that taketh [02388] a dog [03611] by the ears [0241]. 20 26 18 As a mad [03856] man who casteth [03384] firebrands [02131], arrows [02671], and death [04194], 20 26 19 So is the man [0376] that deceiveth [07411] his neighbour [07453], and saith [0559], Am not I in sport [07832]? 20 26 20 Where no [0657] wood [06086] is, there the fire [0784] goeth out [03518]: so where there is no talebearer [05372], the strife [04066] ceaseth [08367]. 20 26 21 As coals [06352] are to burning coals [01513], and wood [06086] to fire [0784]; so is a contentious [04079] [04066] man [0376] to kindle [02787] strife [07379]. 20 26 22 The words [01697] of a talebearer [05372] are as wounds [03859], and they go down [03381] into the innermost parts [02315] of the belly [0990]. 20 26 23 Burning [01814] lips [08193] and a wicked [07451] heart [03820] are like a potsherd [02789] covered [06823] with silver [03701] dross [05509]. 20 26 24 He that hateth [08130] dissembleth [05234] with his lips [08193], and layeth up [07896] deceit [04820] within [07130] him; 20 26 25 When he speaketh [06963] fair [02603], believe [0539] him not: for there are seven [07651] abominations [08441] in his heart [03820]. 20 26 26 Whose hatred [08135] is covered [03680] by deceit [04860], his wickedness [07451] shall be shewed [01540] before the whole congregation [06951]. 20 26 27 Whoso diggeth [03738] a pit [07845] shall fall [05307] therein: and he that rolleth [01556] a stone [068], it will return [07725] upon him. 20 26 28 A lying [08267] tongue [03956] hateth [08130] those that are afflicted [01790] by it; and a flattering [02509] mouth [06310] worketh [06213] ruin [04072]. 20 27 1 Boast [01984] not thyself of to morrow [04279]; for thou knowest [03045] not what a day [03117] may bring forth [03205]. 20 27 2 Let another man [02114] praise [01984] thee, and not thine own mouth [06310]; a stranger [05237], and not thine own lips [08193]. 20 27 3 A stone [068] is heavy [03514], and the sand [02344] weighty [05192]; but a fool's [0191] wrath [03708] is heavier [03515] than them both [08147]. 20 27 4 Wrath [02534] is cruel [0395], and anger [0639] is outrageous [07858]; but who is able to stand [05975] before [06440] envy [07068]? 20 27 5 Open [01540] rebuke [08433] is better [02896] than secret [05641] love [0160]. 20 27 6 Faithful [0539] are the wounds [06482] of a friend [0157]; but the kisses [05390] of an enemy [08130] are deceitful [06280]. 20 27 7 The full [07649] soul [05315] loatheth [0947] an honeycomb [05317]; but to the hungry [07457] soul [05315] every bitter thing [04751] is sweet [04966]. 20 27 8 As a bird [06833] that wandereth [05074] from her nest [07064], so is a man [0376] that wandereth [05074] from his place [04725]. 20 27 9 Ointment [08081] and perfume [07004] rejoice [08055] the heart [03820]: so doth the sweetness [04986] of a man's friend [07453] by hearty [05315] counsel [06098]. 20 27 10 Thine own friend [07453], and thy father's [01] friend [07453], forsake [05800] not; neither go [0935] into thy brother's [0251] house [01004] in the day [03117] of thy calamity [0343]: for better [02896] is aneighbour [07934] that is near [07138] than a brother [0251] far off [07350]. 20 27 11 My son [01121], be wise [02449], and make my heart [03820] glad [08055], that I may answer [07725] [01697] him that reproacheth [02778] me. 20 27 12 A prudent [06175] man foreseeth [07200] the evil [07451], and hideth [05641] himself; but the simple [06612] pass on [05674], and are punished [06064]. 20 27 13 Take [03947] his garment [0899] that is surety [06148] for a stranger [02114], and take a pledge [02254] of him for a strange woman [05237]. 20 27 14 He that blesseth [01288] his friend [07453] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], rising early [07925] in the morning [01242], it shall be counted [02803] a curse [07045] to him. 20 27 15 A continual [02956] dropping [01812] in a very rainy [05464] day [03117] and a contentious [04079] [04066] woman [0802] are alike [07737]. 20 27 16 Whosoever hideth [06845] her hideth [06845] the wind [07307], and the ointment [08081] of his right hand [03225], which bewrayeth [07121] itself. 20 27 17 Iron [01270] sharpeneth [02300] iron [01270]; so a man [0376] sharpeneth [02300] the countenance [06440] of his friend [07453]. 20 27 18 Whoso keepeth [05341] the fig tree [08384] shall eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof: so he that waiteth [08104] on his master [0113] shall be honoured [03513]. 20 27 19 As in water [04325] face [06440] answereth to face [06440], so the heart [03820] of man [0120] to man [0120]. 20 27 20 Hell [07585] and destruction [011] [010] are never [03808] full [07646]; so the eyes [05869] of man [0120] are never satisfied [07646]. 20 27 21 As the fining pot [04715] for silver [03701], and the furnace [03564] for gold [02091]; so is a man [0376] to [06310] his praise [04110]. 20 27 22 Though thou shouldest bray [03806] a fool [0191] in a mortar [04388] among [08432] wheat [07383] with a pestle [05940], yet will not his foolishness [0200] depart [05493] from him. 20 27 23 Be thou diligent [03045] to know [03045] the state [06440] of thy flocks [06629], and look [07896] well [03820] to thy herds [05739]. 20 27 24 For riches [02633] are not for ever [05769]: and doth the crown [05145] endure to every [01755] generation [01755]? 20 27 25 The hay [02682] appeareth [01540], and the tender grass [01877] sheweth [07200] itself, and herbs [06212] of the mountains [02022] are gathered [0622]. 20 27 26 The lambs [03532] are for thy clothing [03830], and the goats [06260] are the price [04242] of the field [07704]. 20 27 27 And thou shalt have goats [05795]' milk [02461] enough [01767] for thy food [03899], for the food [03899] of thy household [01004], and for the maintenance [02416] for thy maidens [05291]. 20 28 1 The wicked [07563] flee [05127] when no man pursueth [07291]: but the righteous [06662] are bold [0982] as a lion [03715]. 20 28 2 For the transgression [06588] of a land [0776] many [07227] are the princes [08269] thereof: but by a man [0120] of understanding [0995] and knowledge [03045] the state [03651] thereof shall be prolonged [0748](8686). 20 28 3 A poor [07326] man [01397] that oppresseth [06231] the poor [01800] is like a sweeping [05502] rain [04306] which leaveth no food [03899]. 20 28 4 They that forsake [05800] the law [08451] praise [01984] the wicked [07563]: but such as keep [08104] the law [08451] contend [01624] with them. 20 28 5 Evil [07451] men [0582] understand [0995] not judgment [04941]: but they that seek [01245] the LORD [03068] understand [0995] all things. 20 28 6 Better [02896] is the poor [07326] that walketh [01980] in his uprightness [08537], than he that is perverse [06141] in his ways [01870], though he be rich [06223]. 20 28 7 Whoso keepeth [05341] the law [08451] is a wise [0995] son [01121]: but he that is a companion [07462] of riotous [02151] men shameth [03637] his father [01]. 20 28 8 He that by usury [05392] and unjust gain [08636] increaseth [07235] his substance [01952], he shall gather [06908] it for him that will pity [02603] the poor [01800]. 20 28 9 He that turneth away [05493] his ear [0241] from hearing [08085] the law [08451], even his prayer [08605] shall be abomination [08441]. 20 28 10 Whoso causeth the righteous [03477] to go astray [07686] in an evil [07451] way [01870], he shall fall [05307] himself into his own pit [07816]: but the upright [08549] shall have good [02896] things in possession[05157]. 20 28 11 The rich [06223] man [0376] is wise [02450] in his own conceit [05869]; but the poor [01800] that hath understanding [0995] searcheth him out [02713]. 20 28 12 When righteous [06662] men do rejoice [05970], there is great [07227] glory [08597]: but when the wicked [07563] rise [06965], a man [0120] is hidden [02664]. 20 28 13 He that covereth [03680] his sins [06588] shall not prosper [06743]: but whoso confesseth [03034] and forsaketh [05800] them shall have mercy [07355]. 20 28 14 Happy [0835] is the man [0120] that feareth [06342] alway [08548]: but he that hardeneth [07185] his heart [03820] shall fall [05307] into mischief [07451]. 20 28 15 As a roaring [05098] lion [0738], and a ranging [08264] bear [01677]; so is a wicked [07563] ruler [04910] over the poor [01800] people [05971]. 20 28 16 The prince [05057] that wanteth [02638] understanding [08394] is also a great [07227] oppressor [04642]: but he that hateth [08130] covetousness [01215] shall prolong [0748] his days [03117]. 20 28 17 A man [0120] that doeth violence [06231] to the blood [01818] of any person [05315] shall flee [05127] to the pit [0953]; let no man stay [08551] him. 20 28 18 Whoso walketh [01980] uprightly [08549] shall be saved [03467]: but he that is perverse [06140] in his ways [01870] shall fall [05307] at once [0259]. 20 28 19 He that tilleth [05647] his land [0127] shall have plenty [07646] of bread [03899]: but he that followeth [07291] after vain [07386] persons shall have poverty enough [07389]. 20 28 20 A faithful [0530] man [0376] shall abound [07227] with blessings [01293]: but he that maketh haste [0213] to be rich [06238] shall not be innocent [05352]. 20 28 21 To have respect [05234] of persons [06440] is not good [02896]: for for a piece [06595] of bread [03899] that man [01397] will transgress [06586]. 20 28 22 He [0376] that hasteth [0926] to be rich [01952] hath an evil [07451] eye [05869], and considereth [03045] not that poverty [02639] shall come [0935] upon him. 20 28 23 He that rebuketh [03198] a man [0120] afterwards [0310] shall find [04672] more favour [02580] than he that flattereth [02505] with the tongue [03956]. 20 28 24 Whoso robbeth [01497] his father [01] or his mother [0517], and saith [0559], It is no transgression [06588]; the same is the companion [02270] of a destroyer [0376] [07843]. 20 28 25 He that is of a proud [07342] heart [05315] stirreth up [01624] strife [04066]: but he that putteth his trust [0982] in the LORD [03068] shall be made fat [01878]. 20 28 26 He that trusteth [0982] in his own heart [03820] is a fool [03684]: but whoso walketh [01980] wisely [02451], he shall be delivered [04422]. 20 28 27 He that giveth [05414] unto the poor [07326] shall not lack [04270]: but he that hideth [05956] his eyes [05869] shall have many [07227] a curse [03994]. 20 28 28 When the wicked [07563] rise [06965], men [0120] hide [05641] themselves: but when they perish [06], the righteous [06662] increase [07235]. 20 29 1 He [0376], that being often reproved [08433] hardeneth [07185] his neck [06203], shall suddenly [06621] be destroyed [07665], and that without remedy [04832]. 20 29 2 When the righteous [06662] are in authority [07235], the people [05971] rejoice [08055]: but when the wicked [07563] beareth rule [04910], the people [05971] mourn [0584]. 20 29 3 Whoso [0376] loveth [0157] wisdom [02451] rejoiceth [08055] his father [01]: but he that keepeth company [07462] with harlots [02181] spendeth [06] his substance [01952]. 20 29 4 The king [04428] by judgment [04941] establisheth [05975] the land [0776]: but he [0376] that receiveth gifts [08641] overthroweth [02040] it. 20 29 5 A man [01397] that flattereth [02505] his neighbour [07453] spreadeth [06566] a net [07568] for his feet [06471]. 20 29 6 In the transgression [06588] of an evil [07451] man [0376] there is a snare [04170]: but the righteous [06662] doth sing [07442] and rejoice [08056]. 20 29 7 The righteous [06662] considereth [03045] the cause [01779] of the poor [01800]: but the wicked [07563] regardeth [0995] not to know [01847] it. 20 29 8 Scornful [03944] men [0582] bring [06315] a city [07151] into a snare [06315]: but wise [02450] men turn away [07725] wrath [0639]. 20 29 9 If a wise [02450] man [0376] contendeth [08199] with a foolish [0191] man [0376], whether he rage [07264] or laugh [07832], there is no rest [05183]. 20 29 10 The bloodthirsty [0582] [01818] hate [08130] the upright [08535]: but the just [03477] seek [01245] his soul [05315]. 20 29 11 A fool [03684] uttereth [03318] all his mind [07307]: but a wise [02450] man keepeth [07623] it in till afterwards [0268]. 20 29 12 If a ruler [04910] hearken [07181] to lies [01697] [08267], all his servants [08334] are wicked [07563]. 20 29 13 The poor [07326] and the deceitful [08501] man [0376] meet together [06298]: the LORD [03068] lighteneth [0215] both [08147] their eyes [05869]. 20 29 14 The king [04428] that faithfully [0571] judgeth [08199] the poor [01800], his throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for ever [05703]. 20 29 15 The rod [07626] and reproof [08433] give [05414] wisdom [02451]: but a child [05288] left [07971] to himself bringeth his mother [0517] to shame [0954]. 20 29 16 When the wicked [07563] are multiplied [07235], transgression [06588] increaseth [07235]: but the righteous [06662] shall see [07200] their fall [04658]. 20 29 17 Correct [03256] thy son [01121], and he shall give thee rest [05117]; yea, he shall give [05414] delight [04574] unto thy soul [05315]. 20 29 18 Where there is no vision [02377], the people [05971] perish [06544]: but he that keepeth [08104] the law [08451], happy [0835] is he. 20 29 19 A servant [05650] will not be corrected [03256] by words [01697]: for though he understand [0995] he will not answer [04617]. 20 29 20 Seest [02372] thou a man [0376] that is hasty [0213] in his words [01697]? there is more hope [08615] of a fool [03684] than of him. 20 29 21 He that delicately bringeth up [06445] his servant [05650] from a child [05290] shall have him become his son [04497] at the length [0319]. 20 29 22 An angry [0639] man [0376] stirreth up [01624] strife [04066], and a furious [02534] man [01167] aboundeth in [07227] transgression [06588]. 20 29 23 A man's [0120] pride [01346] shall bring him low [08213]: but honour [03519] shall uphold [08551] the humble [08217] in spirit [07307]. 20 29 24 Whoso is partner [02505] with a thief [01590] hateth [08130] his own soul [05315]: he heareth [08085] cursing [0423], and bewrayeth [05046] it not. 20 29 25 The fear [02731] of man [0120] bringeth [05414] a snare [04170]: but whoso putteth his trust [0982] in the LORD [03068] shall be safe [07682]. 20 29 26 Many [07227] seek [01245] the ruler's [04910] favour [06440]; but every man's [0376] judgment [04941] cometh from the LORD [03068]. 20 29 27 An unjust [05766] man [0376] is an abomination [08441] to the just [06662]: and he that is upright [03477] in the way [01870] is abomination [08441] to the wicked [07563]. 20 30 1 The words [01697] of Agur [094] the son [01121] of Jakeh [03348], even the prophecy [04853]: the man [01397] spake [05002] unto Ithiel [0384], even unto Ithiel [0384] and Ucal [0401], 20 30 2 Surely I am more brutish [01198] than any man [0376], and have not the understanding [0998] of a man [0120]. 20 30 3 I neither learned [03925] wisdom [02451], nor have [03045] the knowledge [01847] of the holy [06918]. 20 30 4 Who hath ascended up [05927] into heaven [08064], or descended [03381]? who hath gathered [0622] the wind [07307] in his fists [02651]? who hath bound [06887] the waters [04325] in a garment [08071]?who hath established [06965] all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]? what is his name [08034], and what is his son's [01121] name [08034], if thou canst tell [03045]? 20 30 5 Every word [0565] of God [0433] is pure [06884]: he is a shield [04043] unto them that put their trust [02620] in him. 20 30 6 Add [03254] thou not unto his words [01697], lest he reprove [03198] thee, and thou be found a liar [03576]. 20 30 7 Two [08147] things have I required [07592] of thee; deny [04513] me them not before I die [04191]: 20 30 8 Remove far [07368] from me vanity [07723] and lies [01697] [03577]: give [05414] me neither poverty [07389] nor riches [06239]; feed [02963] me with food [03899] convenient [02706] for me: 20 30 9 Lest I be full [07646], and deny [03584] thee, and say [0559], Who is the LORD [03068]? or lest I be poor [03423], and steal [01589], and take [08610] the name [08034] of my God [0430]in vain. 20 30 10 Accuse [03960] not a servant [05650] unto his master [0113], lest he curse [07043] thee, and thou be found guilty [0816]. 20 30 11 There is a generation [01755] that curseth [07043] their father [01], and doth not bless [01288] their mother [0517]. 20 30 12 There is a generation [01755] that are pure [02889] in their own eyes [05869], and yet is not washed [07364] from their filthiness [06675]. 20 30 13 There is a generation [01755], O how lofty [07311] are their eyes [05869]! and their eyelids [06079] are lifted up [05375]. 20 30 14 There is a generation [01755], whose teeth [08127] are as swords [02719], and their jaw teeth [04973] as knives [03979], to devour [0398] the poor [06041] from off the earth [0776], and the needy [034] from among men[0120]. 20 30 15 The horseleach [05936] hath two [08147] daughters [01323], crying, Give [03051], give [03051]. There are three [07969] things that are never satisfied [07646], yea, four [0702] things say [0559] not,It is enough [01952]: 20 30 16 The grave [07585]; and the barren [06115] womb [07356]; the earth [0776] that is not filled [07646] with water [04325]; and the fire [0784] that saith [0559] not, It is enough [01952]. 20 30 17 The eye [05869] that mocketh [03932] at his father [01], and despiseth [0936] to obey [03349] his mother [0517], the ravens [06158] of the valley [05158] shall pick it out [05365], and the young [01121]eagles [05404] shall eat [0398] it. 20 30 18 There be three [07969] things which are too wonderful [06381] for me, yea, four [0702] which I know [03045] not: 20 30 19 The way [01870] of an eagle [05404] in the air [08064]; the way [01870] of a serpent [05175] upon a rock [06697]; the way [01870] of a ship [0591] in the midst [03820] of the sea [03220]; and the way [01870] of a man [01397]with a maid [05959]. 20 30 20 Such is the way [01870] of an adulterous [05003] woman [0802]; she eateth [0398], and wipeth [04229] her mouth [06310], and saith [0559], I have done [06466] no wickedness [0205]. 20 30 21 For three [07969] things the earth [0776] is disquieted [07264], and for four [0702] which it cannot [03201] bear [05375]: 20 30 22 For a servant [05650] when he reigneth [04427]; and a fool [05036] when he is filled [07646] with meat [03899]; 20 30 23 For an odious [08130] woman when she is married [01166]; and an handmaid [08198] that is heir [03423] to her mistress [01404]. 20 30 24 There be four [0702] things which are little [06996] upon the earth [0776], but they are exceeding [02449] wise [02450]: 20 30 25 The ants [05244] are a people [05971] not strong [05794], yet they prepare [03559] their meat [03899] in the summer [07019]; 20 30 26 The conies [08227] are but a feeble [06099] folk [05971], yet make [07760] they their houses [01004] in the rocks [05553]; 20 30 27 The locusts [0697] have no king [04428], yet go they forth [03318] all of them by bands [02686]; 20 30 28 The spider [08079] taketh hold [08610] with her hands [03027], and is in kings [04428]' palaces [01964]. 20 30 29 There be three [07969] things which go [06806] well [03190], yea, four [0702] are comely [02895] in going [03212]: 20 30 30 A lion [03918] which is strongest [01368] among beasts [0929], and turneth not away [07725] for [06440] any; 20 30 31 A greyhound [04975] [02223]; an he goat [08495] also [0176]; and a king [04428], against whom there is no rising up [0510]. 20 30 32 If thou hast done foolishly [05034] in lifting up [05375] thyself, or if thou hast thought evil [02161], lay thine hand [03027] upon thy mouth [06310]. 20 30 33 Surely the churning [04330] of milk [02461] bringeth forth [03318] butter [02529], and the wringing [04330] of the nose [0639] bringeth forth [03318] blood [01818]: so the forcing [04330] of wrath [0639] bringethforth [03318] strife [07379]. 20 31 1 The words [01697] of king [04428] Lemuel [03927], the prophecy [04853] that his mother [0517] taught [03256] him. 20 31 2 What, my son [01248]? and what, the son [01248] of my womb [0990]? and what, the son [01248] of my vows [05088]? 20 31 3 Give [05414] not thy strength [02428] unto women [0802], nor thy ways [01870] to that which destroyeth [04229] kings [04428]. 20 31 4 It is not for kings [04428], O Lemuel [03927], it is not for kings [04428] to drink [08354] wine [03196]; nor for [0335] [0176] princes [07336] strong drink [07941]: 20 31 5 Lest they drink [08354], and forget [07911] the law [02710], and pervert [08138] the judgment [01779] of any of the afflicted [01121] [06040]. 20 31 6 Give [05414] strong drink [07941] unto him that is ready to perish [06], and wine [03196] unto those that be of heavy [04751] hearts [05315]. 20 31 7 Let him drink [08354], and forget [07911] his poverty [07389], and remember [02142] his misery [05999] no more. 20 31 8 Open [06605] thy mouth [06310] for the dumb [0483] in the cause [01779] of all such as are appointed [01121] to destruction [02475]. 20 31 9 Open [06605] thy mouth [06310], judge [08199] righteously [06664], and plead [01777] the cause of the poor [06041] and needy [034]. 20 31 10 Who can find [04672] a virtuous [02428] woman [0802]? for her price [04377] is far [07350] above rubies [06443]. 20 31 11 The heart [03820] of her husband [01167] doth safely trust [0982] in her, so that he shall have no need [02637] of spoil [07998]. 20 31 12 She will do [01580] him good [02896] and not evil [07451] all the days [03117] of her life [02416]. 20 31 13 She seeketh [01875] wool [06785], and flax [06593], and worketh [06213] willingly [02656] with her hands [03709]. 20 31 14 She is like the merchants [05503] ' ships [0591]; she bringeth [0935] her food [03899] from afar [04801]. 20 31 15 She riseth [06965] also while it is yet night [03915], and giveth [05414] meat [02964] to her household [01004], and a portion [02706] to her maidens [05291]. 20 31 16 She considereth [02161] a field [07704], and buyeth [03947] it: with the fruit [06529] of her hands [03709] she planteth [05193] a vineyard [03754]. 20 31 17 She girdeth [02296] her loins [04975] with strength [05797], and strengtheneth [0553] her arms [02220]. 20 31 18 She perceiveth [02938] that her merchandise [05504] is good [02896]: her candle [05216] goeth not out [03518] by night [03915]. 20 31 19 She layeth [07971] her hands [03027] to the spindle [03601], and her hands [03709] hold [08551] the distaff [06418]. 20 31 20 She stretcheth out [06566] her hand [03709] to the poor [06041]; yea, she reacheth forth [07971] her hands [03027] to the needy [034]. 20 31 21 She is not afraid [03372] of the snow [07950] for her household [01004]: for all her household [01004] are clothed [03847] with scarlet [08144]. 20 31 22 She maketh [06213] herself coverings of tapestry [04765]; her clothing [03830] is silk [08336] and purple [0713]. 20 31 23 Her husband [01167] is known [03045] in the gates [08179], when he sitteth [03427] among the elders [02205] of the land [0776]. 20 31 24 She maketh [06213] fine linen [05466], and selleth [04376] it; and delivereth [05414] girdles [02289] unto the merchant [03669]. 20 31 25 Strength [05797] and honour [01926] are her clothing [03830]; and she shall rejoice [07832] in time [03117] to come [0314]. 20 31 26 She openeth [06605] her mouth [06310] with wisdom [02451]; and in her tongue [03956] is the law [08451] of kindness [02617]. 20 31 27 She looketh well [06822] to the ways [01979] [01979] of her household [01004], and eateth [0398] not the bread [03899] of idleness [06104]. 20 31 28 Her children [01121] arise up [06965], and call her blessed [0833]; her husband [01167] also, and he praiseth [01984] her. 20 31 29 Many [07227] daughters [01323] have done [06213] virtuously [02428], but thou excellest [05927] them all. 20 31 30 Favour [02580] is deceitful [08267], and beauty [03308] is vain [01892]: but a woman [0802] that feareth [03373] the LORD [03068], she shall be praised [01984]. 20 31 31 Give [05414] her of the fruit [06529] of her hands [03027]; and let her own works [04639] praise [01984] her in the gates [08179]. 21 1 1 The words [01697] of the Preacher [06953], the son [01121] of David [01732], king [04428] in Jerusalem [03389]. 21 1 2 Vanity [01892] of vanities [01892], saith [0559] the Preacher [06953], vanity [01892] of vanities [01892]; all is vanity [01892]. 21 1 3 What profit [03504] hath a man [0120] of all his labour [05999] which he taketh [05998] under the sun [08121]? 21 1 4 One generation [01755] passeth away [01980], and another generation [01755] cometh [0935] [0935]: but the earth [0776] abideth [05975] for ever [05769]. 21 1 5 The sun [08121] also ariseth [02224], and the sun [08121] goeth down [0935], and hasteth [07602] to his place [04725] where he arose [02224]. 21 1 6 The wind [07307] goeth [01980] toward the south [01864], and turneth about [05437] unto the north [06828]; it whirleth about continually [01980], and the wind [07307] returneth again [07725] according to his circuits [05439]. 21 1 7 All the rivers [05158] run [01980] into the sea [03220]; yet the sea [03220] is not full [04392]; unto the place [04725] from whence the rivers [05158] come [01980], thither they return [07725] again [03212]. 21 1 8 All things [01697] are full of labour [03023]; man [0376] cannot [03201] utter [01696] it: the eye [05869] is not satisfied [07646] with seeing [07200], nor the ear [0241] filled [04390] with hearing [08085]. 21 1 9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done [06213] is that which shall be done [06213]: and there is no new [02319] thing under the sun [08121]. 21 1 10 Is there [03426] any thing [01697] whereof it may be said [0559], See [07200], this is new [02319]? it hath been already [03528] of old time [05769], which was before [06440] us. 21 1 11 There is no remembrance [02146] of former [07223] things; neither shall there be any remembrance [02146] of things that are to come [0314] with those that shall come after [0314]. 21 1 12 I the Preacher [06953] was king [04428] over Israel [03478] in Jerusalem [03389]. 21 1 13 And I gave [05414] my heart [03820] to seek [01875] and search out [08446] by wisdom [02451] concerning all things that are done [06213] under heaven [08064]: this sore [07451] travail [06045] hath God [0430] given [05414] to the sons [01121] of man [0120] to be exercised [06031] therewith. 21 1 14 I have seen [07200] all the works [04639] that are done [06213] under the sun [08121]; and, behold, all is vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 1 15 That which is crooked [05791] cannot [03201] be made straight [08626]: and that which is wanting [02642] cannot [03201] be numbered [04487]. 21 1 16 I communed [01696] with mine own heart [03820], saying [0559], Lo, I am come to great estate [01431], and have gotten [03254] more wisdom [02451] than all they that have been before [06440] me in Jerusalem [03389]: yea, my heart [03820] had great [07235] experience [07200] of wisdom [02451] and knowledge [01847]. 21 1 17 And I gave [05414] my heart [03820] to know [03045] wisdom [02451], and to know [03045] madness [01947] and folly [05531]: I perceived [03045] that this [01571] also is vexation [07475] of spirit [07307]. 21 1 18 For in much [07230] wisdom [02451] is much [07230] grief [03708]: and he that increaseth [03254] knowledge [01847] increaseth [03254] sorrow [04341]. 21 2 1 I said [0559] in mine heart [03820], Go to now [03212], I will prove [05254] thee with mirth [08057], therefore enjoy [07200] pleasure [02896]: and, behold, this also is vanity [01892]. 21 2 2 I said [0559] of laughter [07814], It is mad [01984]: and of mirth [08057], What [02090] doeth [06213] it? 21 2 3 I sought [08446] in mine heart [03820] to give [04900] myself [01320] unto wine [03196], yet acquainting [05090] mine heart [03820] with wisdom [02451]; and to lay hold [0270] on folly [05531], till I might see [07200] what was that good [02896] for the sons [01121] of men [0120], which they should do [06213] under the heaven [08064] all [04557] the days [03117] of their life [02416]. 21 2 4 I made me great [01431] works [04639]; I builded [01129] me houses [01004]; I planted [05193] me vineyards [03754]: 21 2 5 I made [06213] me gardens [01593] and orchards [06508], and I planted [05193] trees [06086] in them of all kind of fruits [06529]: 21 2 6 I made [06213] me pools [01295] of water [04325], to water [08248] therewith the wood [03293] that bringeth forth [06779] trees [06086]: 21 2 7 I got [07069] me servants [05650] and maidens [08198], and had servants born [01121] in my house [01004]; also I had great [07235] possessions [04735] of great [01241] and small cattle [06629] above all that were in Jerusalem [03389] before [06440] me: 21 2 8 I gathered [03664] me also silver [03701] and gold [02091], and the peculiar treasure [05459] of kings [04428] and of the provinces [04082]: I gat [06213] me men singers [07891] and women singers [07891], and the delights [08588] of the sons [01121] of men [0120], as musical instruments [07705] [07705], and that of all sorts. 21 2 9 So I was great [01431], and increased [03254] more than all that were before [06440] me in Jerusalem [03389]: also my wisdom [02451] remained [05975] with me. 21 2 10 And whatsoever mine eyes [05869] desired [07592] I kept [0680] not from them, I withheld [04513] not my heart [03820] from any joy [08057]; for my heart [03820] rejoiced [08056] in all my labour [05999]: and this was my portion [02506] of all my labour [05999]. 21 2 11 Then I looked [06437] on all the works [04639] that my hands [03027] had wrought [06213], and on the labour [05999] that I had laboured [05998] to do [06213]: and, behold, all was vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307], and there was no profit [03504] under the sun [08121]. 21 2 12 And I turned [06437] myself to behold [07200] wisdom [02451], and madness [01947], and folly [05531]: for what can the man [0120] do that cometh [0935] after [0310] the king [04428]? even that which hath been already [03528] done [06213]. 21 2 13 Then I saw [07200] that [03426] wisdom [02451] excelleth [03504] folly [05531], as far as light [0216] excelleth [03504] darkness [02822]. 21 2 14 The wise man's [02450] eyes [05869] are in his head [07218]; but the fool [03684] walketh [01980] in darkness [02822]: and I myself perceived [03045] also that one [0259] event [04745] happeneth [07136] to them all. 21 2 15 Then [0227] said [0559] I in my heart [03820], As it happeneth [04745] to the fool [03684], so it happeneth [07136] even to me [01571]; and why was I then more [03148] wise [02449]? Then I said [01696] in my heart [03820], that this also is vanity [01892]. 21 2 16 For there is no remembrance [02146] of the wise [02450] more than [05973] of the fool [03684] for ever [05769]; seeing that which now [03528] is in the days [03117] to come [0935] shall all be forgotten [07911]. And how dieth [04191] the wise [02450] man? as the fool [03684]. 21 2 17 Therefore I hated [08130] life [02416]; because the work [04639] that is wrought [06213] under the sun [08121] is grievous [07451] unto me: for all is vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 2 18 Yea, I hated [08130] all my labour [05999] which I had taken [06001] under the sun [08121]: because I should leave [03240] it unto the man [0120] that shall be after [0310] me. 21 2 19 And who knoweth [03045] whether he shall be a wise [02450] man or a fool [05530]? yet shall he have rule [07980] over all my labour [05999] wherein I have laboured [05998], and wherein I have shewed myself wise [02449] under the sun [08121]. This is also vanity [01892]. 21 2 20 Therefore I went about [05437] to cause [02976] my heart [03820] to despair [02976] of all the labour [05999] which I took [05998] under the sun [08121]. 21 2 21 For there is [03426] a man [0120] whose labour [05999] is in wisdom [02451], and in knowledge [01847], and in equity [03788]; yet to a man [0120] that hath not laboured [05998] therein shall he leave [05414] it for his portion [02506]. This also is vanity [01892] and a great [07227] evil [07451]. 21 2 22 For what hath [01933] man [0120] of all his labour [05999], and of the vexation [07475] of his heart [03820], wherein [01931] he hath laboured [06001] under the sun [08121]? 21 2 23 For all his days [03117] are sorrows [04341], and his travail [06045] grief [03708]; yea, his heart [03820] taketh not rest [07901] in the night [03915]. This is also vanity [01892]. 21 2 24 There is nothing better [02896] for a man [0120], than that he should eat [0398] and drink [08354], and that he should make his soul [05315] enjoy [07200] good [02896] in his labour [05999]. This [02090] also I saw [07200], that it was from the hand [03027] of God [0430]. 21 2 25 For who can eat [0398], or who else can hasten [02363] hereunto, more [02351] than I? 21 2 26 For God giveth [05414] to a man [0120] that is good [02896] in his sight [06440] wisdom [02451], and knowledge [01847], and joy [08057]: but to the sinner [02398] he giveth [05414] travail [06045], to gather [0622] and to heap up [03664], that he may give [05414] to him that is good [02896] before [06440] God [0430]. This also is vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 3 1 To every thing there is a season [02165], and a time [06256] to every purpose [02656] under the heaven [08064]: 21 3 2 A time [06256] to be born [03205], and a time [06256] to die [04191]; a time [06256] to plant [05193], and a time [06256] to pluck up [06131] that which is planted [05193]; 21 3 3 A time [06256] to kill [02026], and a time [06256] to heal [07495]; a time [06256] to break down [06555], and a time [06256] to build up [01129]; 21 3 4 A time [06256] to weep [01058], and a time [06256] to laugh [07832]; a time [06256] to mourn [05594], and a time [06256] to dance [07540]; 21 3 5 A time [06256] to cast away [07993] stones [068], and a time [06256] to gather [03664] stones [068] together [03664]; a time [06256] to embrace [02263], and a time [06256] to refrain [07368] from embracing [02263]; 21 3 6 A time [06256] to get [01245], and a time [06256] to lose [06]; a time [06256] to keep [08104], and a time [06256] to cast away [07993]; 21 3 7 A time [06256] to rend [07167], and a time [06256] to sew [08609]; a time [06256] to keep silence [02814], and a time [06256] to speak [01696]; 21 3 8 A time [06256] to love [0157], and a time [06256] to hate [08130]; a time [06256] of war [04421], and a time [06256] of peace [07965]. 21 3 9 What profit [03504] hath he that worketh [06213] in that wherein [0834] he laboureth [06001]? 21 3 10 I have seen [07200] the travail [06045], which God [0430] hath given [05414] to the sons [01121] of men [0120] to be exercised [06031] in it. 21 3 11 He hath made [06213] every thing beautiful [03303] in his time [06256]: also he hath set [05414] the world [05769] in their heart [03820], so that [01097] no man [0120] can find out [04672] the work [04639] that God [0430] maketh [06213] from the beginning [07218] to the end [05490]. 21 3 12 I know [03045] that there is no good [02896] in them, but for a man to rejoice [08055], and to do [06213] good [02896] in his life [02416]. 21 3 13 And also that every man [0120] should eat [0398] and drink [08354], and enjoy [07200] the good [02896] of all his labour [05999], it is the gift [04991] of God [0430]. 21 3 14 I know [03045] that, whatsoever God [0430] doeth [06213], it shall be for ever [05769]: nothing [0369] can be put [03254] to it, nor any thing taken [01639] from it: and God [0430] doeth [06213] it, that men should fear [03372] before [06440] him. 21 3 15 That which hath been is now [03528]; and that which is to be hath already [03528] been; and God [0430] requireth [01245] that which is past [07291]. 21 3 16 And moreover I saw [07200] under the sun [08121] the place [04725] of judgment [04941], that wickedness [07562] was there; and the place [04725] of righteousness [06664], that iniquity [07562] was there. 21 3 17 I said [0559] in mine heart [03820], God [0430] shall judge [08199] the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563]: for there is a time [06256] there for every purpose [02656] and for every work [04639]. 21 3 18 I said [0559] in mine heart [03820] concerning the estate [01700] of the sons [01121] of men [0120], that God [0430] might manifest [01305] them, and that they might see [07200] that they [01992] themselves are beasts [0929]. 21 3 19 For that which befalleth [04745] the sons [01121] of men [0120] befalleth [04745] beasts [0929]; even one thing [0259] befalleth [04745] them: as the one dieth [04194], so dieth [04194] the other [02088]; yea, they have all one [0259] breath [07307]; so that a man [0120] hath no preeminence [04195] above a beast [0929]: for all is vanity [01892]. 21 3 20 All go [01980] unto one [0259] place [04725]; all are of the dust [06083], and all turn [07725] to dust [06083] again [07725]. 21 3 21 Who knoweth [03045] the spirit [07307] of man [01121] [0120] that goeth [05927] upward [04605], and the spirit [07307] of the beast [0929] that goeth [03381] downward [04295] to the earth [0776]? 21 3 22 Wherefore I perceive [07200] that there is nothing better [02896], than that a man [0120] should rejoice [08055] in his own works [04639]; for that is his portion [02506]: for who shall bring [0935] him to see [07200] what shall be after [0310] him? 21 4 1 So I returned [07725], and considered [07200] all the oppressions [06217] that are done [06213] under the sun [08121]: and behold the tears [01832] of such as were oppressed [06231], and they had no comforter [05162]; and on the side [03027] of their oppressors [06231] there was power [03581]; but they had no comforter [05162]. 21 4 2 Wherefore I praised [07623] the dead [04191] which are already [03528] dead [04191] more than the living [02416] which are yet [05728] alive [02416]. 21 4 3 Yea, better [02896] is he than both [08147] they, which hath not yet [05728] been, who hath not seen [07200] the evil [07451] work [04639] that is done [06213] under the sun [08121]. 21 4 4 Again, I considered [07200] all travail [05999], and every right [03788] work [04639], that for this a man [0376] is envied [07068] of his neighbour [07453]. This is also vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 4 5 The fool [03684] foldeth [02263] his hands [03027] together [02263], and eateth [0398] his own flesh [01320]. 21 4 6 Better [02896] is an handful [03709] with quietness [05183], than both the hands [02651] full [04393] with travail [05999] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 4 7 Then I returned [07725], and I saw [07200] vanity [01892] under the sun [08121]. 21 4 8 There is [03426] one [0259] alone, and there is not a second [08145]; yea, he hath neither child [01121] nor brother [0251]: yet is there no end [07093] of all his labour [05999]; neither is his eye [05869] satisfied [07646] with riches [06239]; neither saith he, For whom do I labour [06001], and bereave [02637] my soul [05315] of good [02896]? This is also vanity [01892], yea, it is a sore [07451] travail [06045]. 21 4 9 Two [08147] are better [02896] than one [0259]; because they have [03426] a good [02896] reward [07939] for their labour [05999]. 21 4 10 For if they fall [05307], the one [0259] will lift up [06965] his fellow [02270]: but woe [0337] to him that is alone [0259] when he falleth [05307]; for he hath not another [08145] to help him up [06965]. 21 4 11 Again [01571], if two [08147] lie together [07901], then they have heat [02552]: but how can one [0259] be warm [03179] alone? 21 4 12 And if one [0259] prevail [08630] against him, two [08147] shall withstand [05975] him; and a threefold [08027] cord [02339] is not quickly [04120] broken [05423]. 21 4 13 Better [02896] is a poor [04542] and a wise [02450] child [03206] than an old [02205] and foolish [03684] king [04428], who will [03045] no more be admonished [02094]. 21 4 14 For out of prison [0631] [01004] he cometh [03318] to reign [04427]; whereas also he that is born [03205] in his kingdom [04438] becometh poor [07326]. 21 4 15 I considered [07200] all the living [02416] which walk [01980] under the sun [08121], with the second [08145] child [03206] that shall stand up [05975] in his stead. 21 4 16 There is no end [07093] of all the people [05971], even of all that have been before [06440] them: they also that come after [0314] shall not rejoice [08055] in him. Surely this also is vanity [01892] and vexation [07475] of spirit [07307]. 21 5 1 Keep [08104] thy foot [07272] when thou goest [03212] to the house [01004] of God [0430], and be more ready [07138] to hear [08085], than to give [05414] the sacrifice [02077] of fools [03684]: for they consider [03045] not that they do [06213] evil [07451]. 21 5 2 Be not rash [0926] with thy mouth [06310], and let not thine heart [03820] be hasty [04116] to utter [03318] any thing [01697] before [06440] God [0430]: for God [0430] is in heaven [08064], and thou upon earth [0776]: therefore let thy words [01697] be few [04592]. 21 5 3 For a dream [02472] cometh [0935] through the multitude [07230] of business [06045]; and a fool's [03684] voice [06963] is known by multitude [07230] of words [01697]. 21 5 4 When thou vowest [05087] a vow [05088] unto God [0430], defer [0309] not to pay [07999] it; for he hath no pleasure [02656] in fools [03684]: pay [07999] that which thou hast vowed [05087]. 21 5 5 Better [02896] is it that thou shouldest not vow [05087], than that thou shouldest vow [05087] and not pay [07999]. 21 5 6 Suffer [05414] not thy mouth [06310] to cause thy flesh [01320] to sin [02398]; neither say [0559] thou before [06440] the angel [04397], that it was an error [07684]: wherefore should God [0430] be angry [07107] at thy voice [06963], and destroy [02254] the work [04639] of thine hands [03027]? 21 5 7 For in the multitude [07230] of dreams [02472] and many [07235] words [01697] there are also divers vanities [01892]: but fear [03372] thou God [0430]. 21 5 8 If thou seest [07200] the oppression [06233] of the poor [07326], and violent [01499] perverting of judgment [04941] and justice [06664] in a province [04082], marvel [08539] not at the matter [02656]: for he that is higher [01364] than the highest [01364] regardeth [08104]; and there be higher [01364] than they [05921]. 21 5 9 Moreover the profit [03504] of the earth [0776] is for all: the king [04428] himself is served [05647] by the field [07704]. 21 5 10 He that loveth [0157] silver [03701] shall not be satisfied [07646] with silver [03701]; nor he that loveth [0157] abundance [01995] with increase [08393]: this is also vanity [01892]. 21 5 11 When goods [02896] increase [07235], they are increased [07231] that eat [0398] them: and what good [03788] is there to the owners [01167] thereof, saving [0518] the beholding [07207] [07212] of them with their eyes [05869]? 21 5 12 The sleep [08142] of a labouring man [05647] is sweet [04966], whether he eat [0398] little [04592] or much [07235]: but the abundance [07647] of the rich [06223] will not suffer [03240] him to sleep [03462]. 21 5 13 There is [03426] a sore [02470] evil [07451] which I have seen [07200] under the sun [08121], namely, riches [06239] kept [08104] for the owners [01167] thereof to their hurt [07451]. 21 5 14 But those riches [06239] perish [06] by evil [07451] travail [06045]: and he begetteth [03205] a son [01121], and there is nothing [03972] in his hand [03027]. 21 5 15 As he came forth [03318] of his mother's [0517] womb [0990], naked [06174] shall he return [07725] to go [03212] as he came [0935], and shall take [05375] nothing [03972] of his labour [05999], which he may carry away [03212] in his hand [03027]. 21 5 16 And this [02090] also is a sore [02470] evil [07451], that in all points [05980] as he came [0935], so shall he go [03212]: and what profit [03504] hath he that hath laboured [05998] for the wind [07307]? 21 5 17 All his days [03117] also he eateth [0398] in darkness [02822], and he hath much [07235] sorrow [03707] and wrath [07110] with his sickness [02483]. 21 5 18 Behold that which I have seen [07200]: it is good [02896] and comely [03303] for one to eat [0398] and to drink [08354], and to enjoy [07200] the good [02896] of all his labour [05999] that he taketh [05998] under the sun [08121] all [04557] the days [03117] of his life [02416], which God [0430] giveth [05414] him: for it is his portion [02506]. 21 5 19 Every man [0120] also to whom God [0430] hath given [05414] riches [06239] and wealth [05233], and hath given him power [07980] to eat [0398] thereof, and to take [05375] his portion [02506], and to rejoice [08055] in his labour [05999]; this [02090] is the gift [04991] of God [0430]. 21 5 20 For he shall not much [07235] remember [02142] the days [03117] of his life [02416]; because God [0430] answereth [06031] him in the joy [08057] of his heart [03820]. 21 6 1 There is [03426] an evil [07451] which I have seen [07200] under the sun [08121], and it is common [07227] among men [0120]: 21 6 2 A man [0376] to whom God [0430] hath given [05414] riches [06239], wealth [05233], and honour [03519], so that he wanteth [02638] nothing for his soul [05315] of all that he desireth [0183], yet God [0430] giveth him not power [07980] to eat [0398] thereof, but a stranger [0376] [05237] eateth [0398] it: this is vanity [01892], and it is an evil [07451] disease [02483]. 21 6 3 If a man [0376] beget [03205] an hundred [03967] children, and live [02421] many [07227] years [08141], so that the days [03117] of his years [08141] be many [07227], and his soul [05315] be not filled [07646] with good [02896], and also that he have no burial [06900]; I say [0559], that an untimely birth [05309] is better [02896] than he. 21 6 4 For he cometh [0935] in with vanity [01892], and departeth [03212] in darkness [02822], and his name [08034] shall be covered [03680] with darkness [02822]. 21 6 5 Moreover he hath not seen [07200] the sun [08121], nor known [03045] any thing: this [02088] hath more rest [05183] than [02088] the other. 21 6 6 Yea, though [0432] he live [02421] a thousand [0505] years [08141] twice [06471] told, yet hath he seen [07200] no good [02896]: do not all go [01980] to one [0259] place [04725]? 21 6 7 All the labour [05999] of man [0120] is for his mouth [06310], and yet the appetite [05315] is not filled [04390]. 21 6 8 For what hath the wise [02450] more [03148] than the fool [03684]? what hath the poor [06041], that knoweth [03045] to walk [01980] before the living [02416]? 21 6 9 Better [02896] is the sight [04758] of the eyes [05869] than the wandering [01980] of the desire [05315]: this is also vanity [01892] and vexation [07469] of spirit [07307]. 21 6 10 That which hath been is named [07121] [08034] already [03528], and it is known [03045] that it is man [0120]: neither may [03201] he contend [01777] with him that is mightier [08623] than he. 21 6 11 Seeing there be [03426] many [07235] things [01697] that increase [07235] vanity [01892], what is man [0120] the better [03148]? 21 6 12 For who knoweth [03045] what is good [02896] for man [0120] in this life [02416], all [04557] the days [03117] of his vain [01892] life [02416] which he spendeth [06213] as a shadow [06738]? for who can tell [05046] a man [0120] what shall be after [0310] him under the sun [08121]? 21 7 1 A good name [08034] is better [02896] than precious [02896] ointment [08081]; and the day [03117] of death [04194] than the day [03117] of one's birth [03205]. 21 7 2 It is better [02896] to go [03212] to the house [01004] of mourning [060], than to go [03212] to the house [01004] of feasting [04960]: for [0834] that is the end [05490] of all men [0120]; and the living [02416] will lay [05414] it to his heart [03820]. 21 7 3 Sorrow [03708] is better [02896] than laughter [07814]: for by the sadness [07455] of the countenance [06440] the heart [03820] is made better [03190]. 21 7 4 The heart [03820] of the wise [02450] is in the house [01004] of mourning [060]; but the heart [03820] of fools [03684] is in the house [01004] of mirth [08057]. 21 7 5 It is better [02896] to hear [08085] the rebuke [01606] of the wise [02450], than for a man [0376] to hear [08085] the song [07892] of fools [03684]. 21 7 6 For as the crackling [06963] of thorns [05518] under a pot [05518], so is the laughter [07814] of the fool [03684]: this also is vanity [01892]. 21 7 7 Surely oppression [06233] maketh a wise man [02450] mad [01984]; and a gift [04979] destroyeth [06] the heart [03820]. 21 7 8 Better [02896] is the end [0319] of a thing [01697] than the beginning [07225] thereof: and the patient [0750] in spirit [07307] is better [02896] than the proud [01362] in spirit [07307]. 21 7 9 Be not hasty [0926] in thy spirit [07307] to be angry [03707]: for anger [03708] resteth [05117] in the bosom [02436] of fools [03684]. 21 7 10 Say [0559] not thou, What is the cause that the former [07223] days [03117] were better [02896] than these? for thou dost not enquire [07592] wisely [02451] concerning this. 21 7 11 Wisdom [02451] is good [02896] with an inheritance [05159]: and by it there is profit [03148] to them that see [07200] the sun [08121]. 21 7 12 For wisdom [02451] is a defence [06738], and money [03701] is a defence [06738]: but the excellency [03504] of knowledge [01847] is, that wisdom [02451] giveth life [02421] to them that have [01167] it. 21 7 13 Consider [07200] the work [04639] of God [0430]: for who can [03201] make that straight [08626], which he hath made crooked [05791]? 21 7 14 In the day [03117] of prosperity [02896] be joyful [02896], but in the day [03117] of adversity [07451] consider [07200]: God [0430] also hath set [06213] the one over against [05980] the other, to the end [01700] that man [0120] should find [04672] nothing [03972] after [0310] him. 21 7 15 All things have I seen [07200] in the days [03117] of my vanity [01892]: there is [03426] a just [06662] man that perisheth [06] in his righteousness [06664], and there is a wicked [07563] man that prolongeth [0748] his life in his wickedness [07451]. 21 7 16 Be not righteous [06662] over much [07235]; neither make thyself over [03148] wise [02449]: why shouldest thou destroy [08074] thyself? 21 7 17 Be not over much [07235] wicked [07561], neither be thou foolish [05530]: why shouldest thou die [04191] before thy time [06256]? 21 7 18 It is good [02896] that thou shouldest take hold [0270] of this; yea, also from this [02088] withdraw [03240] not thine hand [03027]: for he that feareth [03373] God [0430] shall come forth [03318] of them all. 21 7 19 Wisdom [02451] strengtheneth [05810] the wise [02450] more than ten [06235] mighty [07989] men which are in the city [05892]. 21 7 20 For there is not a just [06662] man [0120] upon earth [0776], that doeth [06213] good [02896], and sinneth [02398] not. 21 7 21 Also take [05414] no heed [03820] unto all words [01697] that are spoken [01696]; lest thou hear [08085] thy servant [05650] curse [07043] thee: 21 7 22 For oftentimes [06471] [07227] also thine own heart [03820] knoweth [03045] that thou thyself likewise hast cursed [07043] others [0312]. 21 7 23 All this [02090] have I proved [05254] by wisdom [02451]: I said [0559], I will be wise [02449]; but it was far [07350] from me. 21 7 24 That which is far off [07350], and exceeding deep [06013], who can find it out [04672]? 21 7 25 I applied [05437] mine heart [03820] to know [03045], and to search [08446], and to seek out [01245] wisdom [02451], and the reason [02808] of things, and to know [03045] the wickedness [07562] of folly [03689], even of foolishness [05531] and madness [01947]: 21 7 26 And I find [04672] more bitter [04751] than death [04194] the woman [0802], whose heart [03820] is snares [04685] and nets [02764], and her hands [03027] as bands [0612]: whoso pleaseth [02896] [06440] God [0430] shall escape [04422] from her; but the sinner [02398] shall be taken [03920] by her. 21 7 27 Behold [07200], this have I found [04672], saith [0559] the preacher [06953], counting one [0259] by one [0259], to find out [04672] the account [02808]: 21 7 28 Which yet my soul [05315] seeketh [01245], but I find [04672] not: one [0259] man [0120] among a thousand [0505] have I found [04672]; but a woman [0802] among all those have I not found [04672]. 21 7 29 Lo [07200], this only [0905] have I found [04672], that God [0430] hath made [06213] man [0120] upright [03477]; but they have sought out [01245] many [07227] inventions [02810]. 21 8 1 Who is as the wise [02450] man? and who knoweth [03045] the interpretation [06592] of a thing [01697]? a man's [0120] wisdom [02451] maketh his face [06440] to shine [0215], and the boldness [05797] of his face [06440] shall be changed [08132]. 21 8 2 I counsel thee to keep [08104] the king's [04428] commandment [06310], and that in regard [01700] of the oath [07621] of God [0430]. 21 8 3 Be not hasty [0926] to go out [03212] of his sight [06440]: stand [05975] not in an evil [07451] thing [01697]; for he doeth [06213] whatsoever pleaseth [02654] him. 21 8 4 Where the word [01697] of a king [04428] is, there is power [07983]: and who may say [0559] unto him, What doest [06213] thou? 21 8 5 Whoso keepeth [08104] the commandment [04687] shall feel [03045] no evil [07451] thing [01697]: and a wise man's [02450] heart [03820] discerneth [03045] both time [06256] and judgment [04941]. 21 8 6 Because to every purpose [02656] there is [03426] time [06256] and judgment [04941], therefore the misery [07451] of man [0120] is great [07227] upon him. 21 8 7 For he knoweth [03045] not that which shall be: for who can tell [05046] him when it shall be? 21 8 8 There is no man [0120] that hath power [07989] over the spirit [07307] to retain [03607] the spirit [07307]; neither hath he power [07983] in the day [03117] of death [04194]: and there is no discharge [04917] in that war [04421]; neither shall wickedness [07562] deliver [04422] those that are given [01167] to it. 21 8 9 All this have I seen [07200], and applied [05414] my heart [03820] unto every work [04639] that is done [06213] under the sun [08121]: there is a time [06256] wherein one man [0120] ruleth [07980] over another to his own hurt [07451]. 21 8 10 And so [03651] I saw [07200] the wicked [07563] buried [06912], who had come [0935] and gone [01980] from the place [04725] of the holy [06918], and they were forgotten [07911] in the city [05892] where they had so done [06213]: this is also vanity [01892]. 21 8 11 Because sentence [06599] against an evil [07451] work [04639] is not executed [06213] speedily [04120], therefore the heart [03820] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] is fully set [04390] in them to do [06213] evil [07451]. 21 8 12 Though a sinner [02398] do [06213] evil [07451] an hundred times [03967], and his days be prolonged [0748], yet surely I know [03045] that it shall be well [02896] with them that fear [03373] God [0430], which fear [03372] before [06440] him: 21 8 13 But it shall not be well [02896] with the wicked [07563], neither shall he prolong [0748] his days [03117], which are as a shadow [06738]; because he feareth [03373] not before [06440] God [0430]. 21 8 14 There is [03426] a vanity [01892] which is done [06213] upon the earth [0776]; that there be just [06662] men, unto whom it happeneth [05060] according to the work [04639] of the wicked [07563]; again, there be [03426] wicked [07563] men, to whom it happeneth [05060] according to the work [04639] of the righteous [06662]: I said [0559] that this also [01571] is vanity [01892]. 21 8 15 Then I commended [07623] mirth [08057], because a man [0120] hath no better thing [02896] under the sun [08121], than to eat [0398], and to drink [08354], and to be merry [08055]: for that shall abide [03867] with him of his labour [05999] the days [03117] of his life [02416], which God [0430] giveth [05414] him under the sun [08121]. 21 8 16 When I applied [05414] mine heart [03820] to know [03045] wisdom [02451], and to see [07200] the business [06045] that is done [06213] upon the earth [0776]: (for also there is that neither day [03117] nor night [03915] seeth [07200] sleep [08142] with his eyes [05869]:) 21 8 17 Then I beheld [07200] all the work [04639] of God [0430], that a man [0120] cannot [03201] find out [04672] the work [04639] that is done [06213] under the sun [08121]: because [0834] though [07945] a man [0120] labour [05998] to seek it out [01245], yet he shall not find [04672] it; yea further; though a wise [02450] man think [0559] to know [03045] it, yet shall he not be able [03201] to find [04672] it. 21 9 1 For all this I considered [05414] in my heart [03820] even to declare [0952] all this, that the righteous [06662], and the wise [02450], and their works [05652], are in the hand [03027] of God [0430]: no man [0120] knoweth [03045] either [01571] love [0160] or hatred [08135] by all that is before [06440] them. 21 9 2 All things come alike to all: there is one [0259] event [04745] to the righteous [06662], and to the wicked [07563]; to the good [02896] and to the clean [02889], and to the unclean [02931]; to him that sacrificeth [02076], and to him that [0834] sacrificeth [02076] not: as is the good [02896], so is the sinner [02398]; and he that sweareth [07650], as he that feareth [03373] an oath [07621]. 21 9 3 This is an evil [07451] among all things that are done [06213] under the sun [08121], that there is one [0259] event [04745] unto all: yea, also the heart [03820] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] is full [04390] of evil [07451], and madness [01947] is in their heart [03824] while they live [02416], and after [0310] that they go to the dead [04191]. 21 9 4 For [04310] to him that is [03426] joined [02266] [0977] to all the living [02416] there is hope [0986]: for a living [02416] dog [03611] is better [02896] than a dead [04191] lion [0738]. 21 9 5 For the living [02416] know [03045] that they shall die [04191]: but the dead [04191] know [03045] not any thing [03972], neither have they any more a reward [07939]; for the memory [02143] of them is forgotten [07911]. 21 9 6 Also their love [0160], and their hatred [08135], and their envy [07068], is now [03528] perished [06]; neither have they any more a portion [02506] for ever [05769] in any thing that is done [06213] under the sun [08121]. 21 9 7 Go thy way [03212], eat [0398] thy bread [03899] with joy [08057], and drink [08354] thy wine [03196] with a merry [02896] heart [03820]; for God [0430] now [03528] accepteth [07521] thy works [04639]. 21 9 8 Let thy garments [0899] be always [06256] white [03836]; and let thy head [07218] lack [02637] no ointment [08081]. 21 9 9 Live [02416] joyfully [07200] with the wife [0802] whom thou lovest [0157] all the days [03117] of the life [02416] of thy vanity [01892], which he hath given [05414] thee under the sun [08121], all the days [03117] of thy vanity [01892]: for that is thy portion [02506] in this life [02416], and in thy labour [05999] which thou takest [06001] under the sun [08121]. 21 9 10 Whatsoever thy hand [03027] findeth [04672] to do [06213], do [06213] it with thy might [03581]; for there is no work [04639], nor device [02808], nor knowledge [01847], nor wisdom [02451], in the grave [07585], whither thou goest [01980]. 21 9 11 I returned [07725], and saw [07200] under the sun [08121], that the race [04793] is not to the swift [07031], nor the battle [04421] to the strong [01368], neither yet bread [03899] to the wise [02450], nor yet riches [06239] to men of understanding [0995], nor yet favour [02580] to men of skill [03045]; but time [06256] and chance [06294] happeneth [07136] to them all. 21 9 12 For man [0120] also knoweth [03045] not his time [06256]: as the fishes [01709] that are taken [0270] in an evil [07451] net [04685], and as the birds [06833] that are caught [0270] in the snare [06341]; so [01992] are the sons [01121] of men [0120] snared [03369] in an evil [07451] time [06256], when it falleth [05307] suddenly [06597] upon them. 21 9 13 This [02090] wisdom [02451] have I seen [07200] also under the sun [08121], and it seemed great [01419] unto me: 21 9 14 There was a little [06996] city [05892], and few [04592] men [0582] within it; and there came [0935] a great [01419] king [04428] against it, and besieged [05437] it, and built [01129] great [01419] bulwarks [04685] against it: 21 9 15 Now there was found [04672] in it a poor [04542] wise [02450] man [0376], and he by his wisdom [02451] delivered [04422] the city [05892]; yet no man [0120] remembered [02142] that same poor [04542] man [0376]. 21 9 16 Then said [0559] I, Wisdom [02451] is better [02896] than strength [01369]: nevertheless the poor man's [04542] wisdom [02451] is despised [0959], and his words [01697] are not heard [08085]. 21 9 17 The words [01697] of wise [02450] men are heard [08085] in quiet [05183] more than the cry [02201] of him that ruleth [04910] among fools [03684]. 21 9 18 Wisdom [02451] is better [02896] than weapons [03627] of war [07128]: but one [0259] sinner [02398] destroyeth [06] much [07235] good [02896]. 21 10 1 Dead [04194] flies [02070] cause the ointment [08081] of the apothecary [07543] to send forth [05042] a stinking savour [0887]: so doth a little [04592] folly [05531] him that is in reputation [03368] for wisdom [02451] and honour [03519]. 21 10 2 A wise man's [02450] heart [03820] is at his right hand [03225]; but a fool's [03684] heart [03820] at his left [08040]. 21 10 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool [05530] walketh [01980] by the way [01870], his wisdom [03820] faileth [02638] him, and he saith [0559] to every one that he is a fool [05530]. 21 10 4 If the spirit [07307] of the ruler [04910] rise up [05927] against thee, leave [03240] not thy place [04725]; for yielding [04832] pacifieth [03240] great [01419] offences [02399]. 21 10 5 There is [03426] an evil [07451] which I have seen [07200] under the sun [08121], as an error [07684] which proceedeth [03318] from [06440] the ruler [07989]: 21 10 6 Folly [05529] is set [05414] in great [07227] dignity [04791], and the rich [06223] sit [03427] in low place [08216]. 21 10 7 I have seen [07200] servants [05650] upon horses [05483], and princes [08269] walking [01980] as servants [05650] upon the earth [0776]. 21 10 8 He that diggeth [02658] a pit [01475] shall fall [05307] into it; and whoso breaketh [06555] an hedge [01447], a serpent [05175] shall bite [05391] him. 21 10 9 Whoso removeth [05265] stones [068] shall be hurt [06087] therewith; and he that cleaveth [01234] wood [06086] shall be endangered [05533] thereby. 21 10 10 If the iron [01270] be blunt [06949], and he do not whet [07043] the edge [06440], then must he put [01396] to more strength [02428]: but wisdom [02451] is profitable [03504] to direct [03787]. 21 10 11 Surely the serpent [05175] will bite [05391] without enchantment [03908]; and a babbler [03956] [01167] is no better [03504]. 21 10 12 The words [01697] of a wise man's [02450] mouth [06310] are gracious [02580]; but the lips [08193] of a fool [03684] will swallow up [01104] himself. 21 10 13 The beginning [08462] of the words [01697] of his mouth [06310] is foolishness [05531]: and the end [0319] of his talk [06310] is mischievous [07451] madness [01948]. 21 10 14 A fool [05530] also is full [07235] of words [01697]: a man [0120] cannot tell [03045] what shall be; and what shall be after [0310] him, who can tell [05046] him? 21 10 15 The labour [05999] of the foolish [03684] wearieth [03021] every one of them, because he knoweth [03045] not how to go [03212] to the city [05892]. 21 10 16 Woe [0337] to thee, O land [0776], when thy king [04428] is a child [05288], and thy princes [08269] eat [0398] in the morning [01242]! 21 10 17 Blessed [0835] art thou, O land [0776], when thy king [04428] is the son [01121] of nobles [02715], and thy princes [08269] eat [0398] in due season [06256], for strength [01369], and not for drunkenness [08358]! 21 10 18 By much slothfulness [06103] the building [04746] decayeth [04355]; and through idleness [08220] of the hands [03027] the house [01004] droppeth through [01811]. 21 10 19 A feast [03899] is made [06213] for laughter [07814], and wine [03196] maketh merry [08055] [02416]: but money [03701] answereth [06030] all things. 21 10 20 Curse [07043] not the king [04428], no not in thy thought [04093]; and curse [07043] not the rich [06223] in thy bedchamber [02315] [04904]: for a bird [05775] of the air [08064] shall carry [03212] the voice [06963], and that which hath [01167] wings [03671] shall tell [05046] the matter [01697]. 21 11 1 Cast [07971] thy bread [03899] upon [06440] the waters [04325]: for thou shalt find [04672] it after many [07230] days [03117]. 21 11 2 Give [05414] a portion [02506] to seven [07651], and also to eight [08083]; for thou knowest [03045] not what evil [07451] shall be upon the earth [0776]. 21 11 3 If the clouds [05645] be full [04390] of rain [01653], they empty [07324] themselves upon the earth [0776]: and if the tree [06086] fall [05307] toward the south [01864], or toward the north [06828], in the place [04725] where the tree [06086] falleth [05307], there it shall be [01933]. 21 11 4 He that observeth [08104] the wind [07307] shall not sow [02232]; and he that regardeth [07200] the clouds [05645] shall not reap [07114]. 21 11 5 As thou knowest [03045] not what is the way [01870] of the spirit [07307], nor how the bones [06106] do grow in the womb [0990] of her that is with child [04392]: even so thou knowest [03045] not the works [04639] of God [0430] who maketh [06213] all. 21 11 6 In the morning [01242] sow [02232] thy seed [02233], and in the evening [06153] withhold [03240] not thine hand [03027]: for thou knowest [03045] not whether [0335] shall prosper [03787], either this or that, or whether they both [08147] shall be alike [0259] good [02896]. 21 11 7 Truly the light [0216] is sweet [04966], and a pleasant [02896] thing it is for the eyes [05869] to behold [07200] the sun [08121]: 21 11 8 But if a man [0120] live [02421] many [07235] years [08141], and rejoice [08055] in them all; yet let him remember [02142] the days [03117] of darkness [02822]; for they shall be many [07235]. All that cometh [0935] is vanity [01892]. 21 11 9 Rejoice [08055], O young man [0970], in thy youth [03208]; and let thy heart [03820] cheer [02895] thee in the days [03117] of thy youth [0979], and walk [01980] in the ways [01870] of thine heart [03820], and in the sight [04758] of thine eyes [05869]: but know [03045] thou, that for all these things God [0430] will bring [0935] thee into judgment [04941]. 21 11 10 Therefore remove [05493] sorrow [03708] from thy heart [03820], and put away [05674] evil [07451] from thy flesh [01320]: for childhood [03208] and youth [07839] are vanity [01892]. 21 12 1 Remember [02142] now thy Creator [01254] in the days [03117] of thy youth [0979], while the evil [07451] days [03117] come [0935] not, nor the years [08141] draw nigh [05060], when thou shalt say [0559], I have no pleasure [02656] in them; 21 12 2 While the sun [08121], or the light [0216], or the moon [03394], or the stars [03556], be not darkened [02821], nor the clouds [05645] return [07725] after [0310] the rain [01653]: 21 12 3 In the day [03117] when the keepers [08104] of the house [01004] shall tremble [02111], and the strong [02428] men [0582] shall bow [05791] themselves, and the grinders [02912] cease [0988] because they are few [04591], and those that look out [07200] of the windows [0699] be darkened [02821], 21 12 4 And the doors [01817] shall be shut [05462] in the streets [07784], when the sound [06963] of the grinding [02913] is low [08217], and he shall rise up [06965] at the voice [06963] of the bird [06833], and all the daughters [01323] of musick [07892] shall be brought low [07817]; 21 12 5 Also when they shall be afraid [03372] of that which is high [01364], and fears [02849] shall be in the way [01870], and the almond tree [08247] shall flourish [05006], and the grasshopper [02284] shall be a burden [05445], and desire [035] shall fail [06565]: because man [0120] goeth [01980] to his long [05769] home [01004], and the mourners [05594] go about [05437] the streets [07784]: 21 12 6 Or ever [03808] the silver [03701] cord [02256] be loosed [07576] [07368], or the golden [02091] bowl [01543] be broken [07533], or the pitcher [03537] be broken [07665] at the fountain [04002], or the wheel [01534] broken [07533] at the cistern [0953]. 21 12 7 Then shall the dust [06083] return [07725] to the earth [0776] as it was: and the spirit [07307] shall return [07725] unto God [0430] who gave [05414] it. 21 12 8 Vanity [01892] of vanities [01892], saith [0559] the preacher [06953]; all is vanity [01892]. 21 12 9 And moreover [03148], because the preacher [06953] was wise [02450], he still taught [03925] the people [05971] knowledge [01847]; yea, he gave good heed [0239], and sought out [02713], and set in order [08626] many [07235] proverbs [04912]. 21 12 10 The preacher [06953] sought [01245] to find out [04672] acceptable [02656] words [01697]: and that which was written [03789] was upright [03476], even words [01697] of truth [0571]. 21 12 11 The words [01697] of the wise [02450] are as goads [01861], and as nails [04930] fastened [05193] by the masters [01167] of assemblies [0627], which are given [05414] from one [0259] shepherd [07462]. 21 12 12 And further [03148], by these [01992], my son [01121], be admonished [02094]: of making [06213] many [07235] books [05612] there is no end [07093]; and much [07235] study [03854] is a weariness [03024] of the flesh [01320]. 21 12 13 Let us hear [08085] the conclusion [05490] of the whole matter [01697]: Fear [03372] God [0430], and keep [08104] his commandments [04687]: for this is the whole duty of man [0120]. 21 12 14 For God [0430] shall bring [0935] every work [04639] into judgment [04941], with every secret thing [05956], whether it be good [02896], or whether it be evil [07451]. 22 1 1 The song [07892] of songs [07892], which is Solomon's [08010]. 22 1 2 Let him kiss [05401] me with the kisses [05390] of his mouth [06310]: for thy love [01730] is better [02896] than wine [03196]. 22 1 3 Because of the savour [07381] of thy good [02896] ointments [08081] thy name [08034] is as ointment [08081] poured forth [07324], therefore do the virgins [05959] love [0157] thee. 22 1 4 Draw [04900] me, we will run [07323] after [0310] thee: the king [04428] hath brought [0935] me into his chambers [02315]: we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in thee, we will remember [02142] thy love [01730] more than wine [03196]: the upright [04339] love [0157] thee. 22 1 5 I am black [07838], but comely [05000], O ye daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], as the tents [0168] of Kedar [06938], as the curtains [03407] of Solomon [08010]. 22 1 6 Look [07200] not upon me, because I am black [07840], because the sun [08121] hath looked [07805] upon me: my mother's [0517] children [01121] were angry [02787] with me; they made [07760] me the keeper [05201] of the vineyards [03754]; but mine own vineyard [03754] have I not kept [05201]. 22 1 7 Tell [05046] me, O thou whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157], where thou feedest [07462], where [0349] thou makest thy flock to rest [07257] at noon [06672]: for [04100] why should I be as one that turneth aside [05844] by the flocks [05739] of thy companions [02270]? 22 1 8 If thou know [03045] not, O thou fairest [03303] among women [0802], go thy way forth [03318] by the footsteps [06119] of the flock [06629], and feed [07462] thy kids [01429] beside the shepherds [07462] ' tents [04908]. 22 1 9 I have compared [01819] thee, O my love [07474], to a company of horses [05484] in Pharaoh's [06547] chariots [07393]. 22 1 10 Thy cheeks [03895] are comely [04998] with rows [08447] of jewels, thy neck [06677] with chains [02737] of gold. 22 1 11 We will make [06213] thee borders [08447] of gold [02091] with studs [05351] of silver [03701]. 22 1 12 While the king [04428] sitteth at his table [04524], my spikenard [05373] sendeth forth [05414] the smell [07381] thereof. 22 1 13 A bundle [06872] of myrrh [04753] is my wellbeloved [01730] unto me; he shall lie [03885] all night betwixt my breasts [07699]. 22 1 14 My beloved [01730] is unto me as a cluster [0811] of camphire [03724] in the vineyards [03754] of Engedi [05872]. 22 1 15 Behold, thou art fair [03303], my love [07474]; behold, thou art fair [03303]; thou hast doves [03123]' eyes [05869]. 22 1 16 Behold, thou art fair [03303], my beloved [01730], yea, pleasant [05273]: also our bed [06210] is green [07488]. 22 1 17 The beams [06982] of our house [01004] are cedar [0730], and our rafters [07351] [07351] of fir [01266]. 22 2 1 I am the rose [02261] of Sharon [08289], and the lily [07799] of the valleys [06010]. 22 2 2 As the lily [07799] among thorns [02336], so is my love [07474] among the daughters [01323]. 22 2 3 As the apple tree [08598] among the trees [06086] of the wood [03293], so is my beloved [01730] among the sons [01121]. I sat [03427] down under his shadow [06738] with great delight [02530], and his fruit [06529] was sweet [04966] to my taste [02441]. 22 2 4 He brought [0935] me to the banqueting [03196] house [01004], and his banner [01714] over me was love [0160]. 22 2 5 Stay [05564] me with flagons [0809], comfort [07502] me with apples [08598]: for I am sick [02470] of love [0160]. 22 2 6 His left hand [08040] is under my head [07218], and his right hand [03225] doth embrace [02263] me. 22 2 7 I charge [07650] you, O ye daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], by the roes [06643], and [0176] by the hinds [0355] of the field [07704], that ye stir not up [05782], nor awake [05782] my love [0160], till he please [02654]. 22 2 8 The voice [06963] of my beloved [01730]! behold, he cometh [0935] leaping [01801] upon the mountains [02022], skipping [07092] upon the hills [01389]. 22 2 9 My beloved [01730] is like [01819] a roe [06643] or a young [06082] hart [0354]: behold, he standeth [05975] behind [0310] our wall [03796], he looketh forth [07688] at the windows [02474], shewing [06692] himself through the lattice [02762]. 22 2 10 My beloved [01730] spake [06030], and said [0559] unto me, Rise up [06965], my love [07474], my fair one [03303], and come away [03212]. 22 2 11 For, lo, the winter [05638] is past [05674], the rain [01653] is over [02498] and gone [01980]; 22 2 12 The flowers [05339] appear [07200] on the earth [0776]; the time [06256] of the singing [02158] of birds is come [05060], and the voice [06963] of the turtle [08449] is heard [08085] in our land [0776]; 22 2 13 The fig tree [08384] putteth forth [02590] her green figs [06291], and the vines [01612] with the tender grape [05563] give [05414] a good smell [07381]. Arise [06965], my love [07474], my fair one [03303], and come away [03212]. 22 2 14 O my dove [03123], that art in the clefts [02288] of the rock [05553], in the secret [05643] places of the stairs [04095], let me see [07200] thy countenance [04758], let me hear [08085] thy voice [06963]; for sweet [06156] is thy voice [06963], and thy countenance [04758] is comely [05000]. 22 2 15 Take [0270] us the foxes [07776], the little [06996] foxes [07776], that spoil [02254] the vines [03754]: for our vines [03754] have tender grapes [05563]. 22 2 16 My beloved [01730] is mine, and I am his: he feedeth [07462] among the lilies [07799]. 22 2 17 Until the day [03117] break [06315], and the shadows [06752] flee away [05127], turn [05437], my beloved [01730], and be thou like [01819] a roe [06643] or a young [06082] hart [0354] upon the mountains [02022] of Bether [01336]. 22 3 1 By night [03915] on my bed [04904] I sought [01245] him whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157]: I sought [01245] him, but I found [04672] him not. 22 3 2 I will rise [06965] now, and go about [05437] the city [05892] in the streets [07784], and in the broad ways [07339] I will seek [01245] him whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157]: I sought [01245] him, but I found [04672] him not. 22 3 3 The watchmen [08104] that go about [05437] the city [05892] found [04672] me: to whom I said, Saw [07200] ye him whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157]? 22 3 4 It was but a little [04592] that I passed [05674] from them, but I found [04672] him whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157]: I held [0270] him, and would not let him go [07503], until I had brought [0935] him into my mother's [0517] house [01004], and into the chamber [02315] of her that conceived [02029] me. 22 3 5 I charge [07650] you, O ye daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], by the roes [06643], and [0176] by the hinds [0355] of the field [07704], that ye stir not up [05782], nor awake [05782] my love [0160], till he please [02654]. 22 3 6 Who is this that cometh [05927] out of the wilderness [04057] like pillars [08490] of smoke [06227], perfumed [06999] with myrrh [04753] and frankincense [03828], with all powders [081] of the merchant [07402]? 22 3 7 Behold his bed [04296], which is Solomon's [08010]; threescore [08346] valiant [01368] men are about [05439] it, of the valiant [01368] of Israel [03478]. 22 3 8 They all hold [0270] swords [02719], being expert [03925] in war [04421]: every man [0376] hath his sword [02719] upon his thigh [03409] because of fear [06343] in the night [03915]. 22 3 9 King [04428] Solomon [08010] made [06213] himself a chariot [0668] of the wood [06086] of Lebanon [03844]. 22 3 10 He made [06213] the pillars [05982] thereof of silver [03701], the bottom [07507] thereof of gold [02091], the covering [04817] of it of purple [0713], the midst [08432] thereof being paved [07528] with love [0160], for the daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]. 22 3 11 Go forth [03318], O ye daughters [01323] of Zion [06726], and behold [07200] king [04428] Solomon [08010] with the crown [05850] wherewith his mother [0517] crowned [05849] him in the day [03117] of his espousals [02861], and in the day [03117] of the gladness [08057] of his heart [03820]. 22 4 1 Behold, thou art fair [03303], my love [07474]; behold, thou art fair [03303]; thou hast doves [03123]' eyes [05869] within [01157] thy locks [06777]: thy hair [08181] is as a flock [05739] of goats [05795], that appear [01570] from mount [02022] Gilead [01568]. 22 4 2 Thy teeth [08127] are like a flock [05739] of sheep that are even shorn [07094], which came up [05927] from the washing [07367]; whereof every one bear twins [08382], and none is barren [07909] among them. 22 4 3 Thy lips [08193] are like a thread [02339] of scarlet [08144], and thy speech [04057] is comely [05000]: thy temples [07541] are like a piece [06400] of a pomegranate [07416] within [01157] thy locks [06777]. 22 4 4 Thy neck [06677] is like the tower [04026] of David [01732] builded [01129] for an armoury [08530], whereon there hang [08518] a thousand [0505] bucklers [04043], all shields [07982] of mighty men [01368]. 22 4 5 Thy two [08147] breasts [07699] are like two [08147] young [06082] roes [06646] that are twins [08380], which feed [07462] among the lilies [07799]. 22 4 6 Until the day [03117] break [06315], and the shadows [06752] flee away [05127], I will get [03212] me to the mountain [02022] of myrrh [04753], and to the hill [01389] of frankincense [03828]. 22 4 7 Thou art all fair [03303], my love [07474]; there is no spot [03971] in thee. 22 4 8 Come [0935] with me from Lebanon [03844], my spouse [03618], with me from Lebanon [03844]: look [07789] from the top [07218] of Amana [0549], from the top [07218] of Shenir [08149] and Hermon [02768], from the lions [0738]' dens [04585], from the mountains [02042] of the leopards [05246]. 22 4 9 Thou hast ravished my heart [03823], my sister [0269], my spouse [03618]; thou hast ravished my heart [03823] with one [0259] of thine eyes [05869], with one [0259] chain [06060] of thy neck [06677]. 22 4 10 How fair [03302] is thy love [01730], my sister [0269], my spouse [03618]! how much better [02895] is thy love [01730] than wine [03196]! and the smell [07381] of thine ointments [08081] than all spices [01314]! 22 4 11 Thy lips [08193], O my spouse [03618], drop [05197] as the honeycomb [05317]: honey [01706] and milk [02461] are under thy tongue [03956]; and the smell [07381] of thy garments [08008] is like the smell [07381] of Lebanon [03844]. 22 4 12 A garden [01588] inclosed [05274] is my sister [0269], my spouse [03618]; a spring [01530] shut up [05274], a fountain [04599] sealed [02856]. 22 4 13 Thy plants [07973] are an orchard [06508] of pomegranates [07416], with pleasant [04022] fruits [06529]; camphire [03724], with spikenard [05373], 22 4 14 Spikenard [05373] and saffron [03750]; calamus [07070] and cinnamon [07076], with all trees [06086] of frankincense [03828]; myrrh [04753] and aloes [0174], with all the chief [07218] spices [01314]: 22 4 15 A fountain [04599] of gardens [01588], a well [0875] of living [02416] waters [04325], and streams [05140] from Lebanon [03844]. 22 4 16 Awake [05782], O north wind [06828]; and come [0935], thou south [08486]; blow [06315] upon my garden [01588], that the spices [01314] thereof may flow out [05140]. Let my beloved [01730] come [0935] into his garden [01588], and eat [0398] his pleasant [04022] fruits [06529]. 22 5 1 I am come [0935] into my garden [01588], my sister [0269], my spouse [03618]: I have gathered [0717] my myrrh [04753] with my spice [01313]; I have eaten [0398] my honeycomb [03293] with my honey [01706]; I have drunk [08354] my wine [03196] with my milk [02461]: eat [0398], O friends [07453]; drink [08354], yea, drink abundantly [07937], O beloved [01730]. 22 5 2 I sleep [03463], but my heart [03820] waketh [05782]: it is the voice [06963] of my beloved [01730] that knocketh [01849], saying, Open [06605] to me, my sister [0269], my love [07474], my dove [03123], my undefiled [08535]: for my head [07218] is filled [04390] with dew [02919], and my locks [06977] with the drops [07447] of the night [03915]. 22 5 3 I have put off [06584] my coat [03801]; how [0349] shall I put it on [03847]? I have washed [07364] my feet [07272]; how [0349] shall I defile [02936] them? 22 5 4 My beloved [01730] put in [07971] his hand [03027] by [04480] the hole [02356] of the door, and my bowels [04578] were moved [01993] for him. 22 5 5 I rose up [06965] to open [06605] to my beloved [01730]; and my hands [03027] dropped [05197] with myrrh [04753], and my fingers [0676] with sweet smelling [05674] myrrh [04753], upon the handles [03709] of the lock [04514]. 22 5 6 I opened [06605] to my beloved [01730]; but my beloved [01730] had withdrawn [02559] himself, and was gone [05674]: my soul [05315] failed [03318] when he spake [01696]: I sought [01245] him, but I could not find [04672] him; I called [07121] him, but he gave me no answer [06030]. 22 5 7 The watchmen [08104] that went about [05437] the city [05892] found [04672] me, they smote [05221] me, they wounded [06481] me; the keepers [08104] of the walls [02346] took away [05375] my veil [07289] from me. 22 5 8 I charge [07650] you, O daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], if ye find [04672] my beloved [01730], that ye tell [05046] him, that I am sick [02470] of love [0160]. 22 5 9 What is thy beloved [01730] more than another beloved [01730], O thou fairest [03303] among women [0802]? what is thy beloved [01730] more than another beloved [01730], that thou [03602] dost so charge [07650] us? 22 5 10 My beloved [01730] is white [06703] and ruddy [0122], the chiefest [01713] among ten thousand [07233]. 22 5 11 His head [07218] is as the most [03800] fine gold [06337], his locks [06977] are bushy [08534], and black [07838] as a raven [06158]. 22 5 12 His eyes [05869] are as the eyes of doves [03123] by the rivers [0650] of waters [04325], washed [07364] with milk [02461], and fitly set [03427] [04402]. 22 5 13 His cheeks [03895] are as a bed [06170] of spices [01314], as sweet [04840] flowers [04026]: his lips [08193] like lilies [07799], dropping [05197] sweet smelling [05674] myrrh [04753]. 22 5 14 His hands [03027] are as gold [02091] rings [01550] set [04390] with the beryl [08658]: his belly [04578] is as bright [06247] ivory [08127] overlaid [05968] with sapphires [05601]. 22 5 15 His legs [07785] are as pillars [05982] of marble [08336], set [03245] upon sockets [0134] of fine gold [06337]: his countenance [04758] is as Lebanon [03844], excellent [0977] as the cedars [0730]. 22 5 16 His mouth [02441] is most sweet [04477]: yea, he is altogether lovely [04261]. This is my beloved [01730], and this is my friend [07453], O daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]. 22 6 1 Whither is thy beloved [01730] gone [01980], O thou fairest [03303] among women [0802]? whither is thy beloved [01730] turned aside [06437]? that we may seek [01245] him with thee. 22 6 2 My beloved [01730] is gone down [03381] into his garden [01588], to the beds [06170] of spices [01314], to feed [07462] in the gardens [01588], and to gather [03950] lilies [07799]. 22 6 3 I am my beloved's [01730], and my beloved [01730] is mine: he feedeth [07462] among the lilies [07799]. 22 6 4 Thou art beautiful [03303], O my love [07474], as Tirzah [08656], comely [05000] as Jerusalem [03389], terrible [0366] as an army with banners [01713]. 22 6 5 Turn away [05437] thine eyes [05869] from me, for they [01992] have overcome [07292] me: thy hair [08181] is as a flock [05739] of goats [05795] that appear [01570] from Gilead [01568]. 22 6 6 Thy teeth [08127] are as a flock [05739] of sheep [07353] which go up [05927] from the washing [07367], whereof every one beareth twins [08382], and there is not one barren [07909] among them. 22 6 7 As a piece [06400] of a pomegranate [07416] are thy temples [07541] within [01157] thy locks [06777]. 22 6 8 There are threescore [08346] queens [04436], and fourscore [08084] concubines [06370], and virgins [05959] without number [04557]. 22 6 9 My dove [03123], my undefiled [08535] is but one [0259]; she is the only one [0259] of her mother [0517], she is the choice [01249] one of her that bare [03205] her. The daughters [01323] saw [07200] her, and blessed [0833] her; yea, the queens [04436] and the concubines [06370], and they praised [01984] her. 22 6 10 Who is she that looketh forth [08259] as the morning [07837], fair [03303] as the moon [03842], clear [01249] as the sun [02535], and terrible [0366] as an army with banners [01713]? 22 6 11 I went down [03381] into the garden [01594] of nuts [093] to see [07200] the fruits [03] of the valley [05158], and to see [07200] whether the vine [01612] flourished [06524], and the pomegranates [07416] budded [05132]. 22 6 12 Or ever I was aware [03045], my soul [05315] made [07760] me like the chariots [04818] of Amminadib [05993]. 22 6 13 Return [07725], return [07725], O Shulamite [07759]; return [07725], return [07725], that we may look [02372] upon thee. What will ye see [02372] in the Shulamite [07759]? As it were the company [04246] of two armies [04264]. 22 7 1 How beautiful [03302] are thy feet [06471] with shoes [05275], O prince's [05081] daughter [01323]! the joints [02542] of thy thighs [03409] are like jewels [02481], the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of a cunning workman [0542]. 22 7 2 Thy navel [08326] is like a round [05469] goblet [0101], which wanteth [02637] not liquor [04197]: thy belly [0990] is like an heap [06194] of wheat [02406] set about [05473] with lilies [07799]. 22 7 3 Thy two [08147] breasts [07699] are like two [08147] young [06082] roes [06646] that are twins [08380]. 22 7 4 Thy neck [06677] is as a tower [04026] of ivory [08127]; thine eyes [05869] like the fishpools [01295] in Heshbon [02809], by the gate [08179] of Bathrabbim [01337]: thy nose [0639] is as the tower [04026] of Lebanon [03844] which looketh [06822] toward [06440] Damascus [01834]. 22 7 5 Thine head [07218] upon thee is like Carmel [03760], and the hair [01803] of thine head [07218] like purple [0713]; the king [04428] is held [0631] in the galleries [07298]. 22 7 6 How fair [03302] and how pleasant [05276] art thou, O love [0160], for delights [08588]! 22 7 7 This thy stature [06967] is like [01819] to a palm tree [08558], and thy breasts [07699] to clusters [0811] of grapes. 22 7 8 I said [0559], I will go up [05927] to the palm tree [08558], I will take hold [0270] of the boughs [05577] thereof: now also thy breasts [07699] shall be as clusters [0811] of the vine [01612], and the smell [07381] of thy nose [0639] like apples [08598]; 22 7 9 And the roof of thy mouth [02441] like the best [02896] wine [03196] for my beloved [01730], that goeth [01980] down sweetly [04339], causing the lips [08193] of those that are asleep [03463] to speak [01680]. 22 7 10 I am my beloved's [01730], and his desire [08669] is toward me. 22 7 11 Come [03212], my beloved [01730], let us go forth [03318] into the field [07704]; let us lodge [03885] in the villages [03723]. 22 7 12 Let us get up early [07925] to the vineyards [03754]; let us see [07200] if the vine [01612] flourish [06524], whether the tender grape [05563] appear [06605], and the pomegranates [07416] bud forth [05132]: there will I give [05414] thee my loves [01730]. 22 7 13 The mandrakes [01736] give [05414] a smell [07381], and at our gates [06607] are all manner of pleasant [04022] fruits, new [02319] and old [03465], which I have laid up [06845] for thee, O my beloved [01730]. 22 8 1 O that [05414] thou wert as my brother [0251], that sucked [03243] the breasts [07699] of my mother [0517]! when I should find [04672] thee without [02351], I would kiss [05401] thee; yea, I should not be despised [0936]. 22 8 2 I would lead [05090] thee, and bring [0935] thee into my mother's [0517] house [01004], who would instruct [03925] me: I would cause thee to drink [08248] of spiced [07544] wine [03196] of the juice [06071] of my pomegranate [07416]. 22 8 3 His left hand [08040] should be under my head [07218], and his right hand [03225] should embrace [02263] me. 22 8 4 I charge [07650] you, O daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], that ye stir not up [05782], nor awake [05782] my love [0160], until he please [02654]. 22 8 5 Who is this that cometh up [05927] from the wilderness [04057], leaning [07514] upon her beloved [01730]? I raised [05782] thee up under the apple tree [08598]: there thy mother [0517] brought thee forth [02254]: there she brought thee forth [02254] that bare [03205] thee. 22 8 6 Set [07760] me as a seal [02368] upon thine heart [03820], as a seal [02368] upon thine arm [02220]: for love [0160] is strong [05794] as death [04194]; jealousy [07068] is cruel [07186] as the grave [07585]: the coals [07565] thereof are coals [07565] of fire [0784], which hath a most vehement flame [07957]. 22 8 7 Many [07227] waters [04325] cannot [03201] quench [03518] love [0160], neither can the floods [05104] drown [07857] it: if a man [0376] would give [05414] all the substance [01952] of his house [01004] for love [0160], it would utterly [0936] be contemned [0936]. 22 8 8 We have a little [06996] sister [0269], and she hath no breasts [07699]: what shall we do [06213] for our sister [0269] in the day [03117] when she shall be spoken for [01696]? 22 8 9 If she be a wall [02346], we will build [01129] upon her a palace [02918] of silver [03701]: and if she be a door [01817], we will inclose [06696] her with boards [03871] of cedar [0730]. 22 8 10 I am a wall [02346], and my breasts [07699] like towers [04026]: then was I in his eyes [05869] as one that found [04672] favour [07965]. 22 8 11 Solomon [08010] had a vineyard [03754] at Baalhamon [01174]; he let out [05414] the vineyard [03754] unto keepers [05201]; every one [0376] for the fruit [06529] thereof was to bring [0935] a thousand [0505] pieces of silver [03701]. 22 8 12 My vineyard [03754], which is mine, is before [06440] me: thou, O Solomon [08010], must have a thousand [0505], and those that keep [05201] the fruit [06529] thereof two hundred [03967]. 22 8 13 Thou that dwellest [03427] in the gardens [01588], the companions [02270] hearken [07181] to thy voice [06963]: cause me to hear [08085] it. 22 8 14 Make haste [01272], my beloved [01730], and be thou like [01819] to a roe [06643] or to a young [06082] hart [0354] upon the mountains [02022] of spices [01314]. 23 1 1 The vision [02377] of Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], which he saw [02372] concerning Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818], Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063]. 23 1 2 Hear [08085], O heavens [08064], and give ear [0238], O earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], I have nourished [01431] and brought up [07311] children [01121], and they have rebelled [06586] against me. 23 1 3 The ox [07794] knoweth [03045] his owner [07069], and the ass [02543] his master's [01167] crib [018]: but Israel [03478] doth not know [03045], my people [05971] doth not consider [0995]. 23 1 4 Ah [01945] sinful [02398] nation [01471], a people [05971] laden [03515] with iniquity [05771], a seed [02233] of evildoers [07489], children [01121] that are corrupters [07843]: they have forsaken [05800] [0853] the LORD [03068], they have provoked [05006] [0853] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] unto anger [05006], they are gone away [02114] backward [0268]. 23 1 5 Why should ye be stricken [05221] any more? ye will revolt [05627] more and more [03254]: the whole head [07218] is sick [02483], and the whole heart [03824] faint [01742]. 23 1 6 From the sole [03709] of the foot [07272] even unto the head [07218] there is no soundness [04974] in it; but wounds [06482], and bruises [02250], and putrifying [02961] sores [04347]: they have not been closed [02115], neither bound up [02280], neither mollified [07401] with ointment [08081]. 23 1 7 Your country [0776] is desolate [08077], your cities [05892] are burned [08313] with fire [0784]: your land [0127], strangers [02114] devour [0398] it in your presence, and it is desolate [08077], as overthrown [04114] by strangers [02114]. 23 1 8 And the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] is left [03498] as a cottage [05521] in a vineyard [03754], as a lodge [04412] in a garden of cucumbers [04750], as a besieged [05341] city [05892]. 23 1 9 Except [03884] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] had left [03498] unto us a very small [04592] remnant [08300], we should have been [01961] as Sodom [05467], and we should have been like [01819] unto Gomorrah [06017]. 23 1 10 Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye rulers [07101] of Sodom [05467]; give ear [0238] unto the law [08451] of our God [0430], ye people [05971] of Gomorrah [06017]. 23 1 11 To what [04100] purpose is the multitude [07230] of your sacrifices [02077] unto me? saith [0559] the LORD [03068]: I am full [07646] of the burnt offerings [05930] of rams [0352], and the fat [02459] of fed beasts [04806]; and I delight [02654] not in the blood [01818] of bullocks [06499], or of lambs [03532], or of he goats [06260]. 23 1 12 When ye come [0935] to appear [07200] before [06440] me, who hath required [01245] this at your hand [03027], to tread [07429] my courts [02691]? 23 1 13 Bring [0935] no more [03254] vain [07723] oblations [04503]; incense [07004] is an abomination [08441] unto me; the new moons [02320] and sabbaths [07676], the calling [07121] of assemblies [04744], I cannot away with [03201]; it is iniquity [0205], even the solemn meeting [06116]. 23 1 14 Your new moons [02320] and your appointed feasts [04150] my soul [05315] hateth [08130]: they are a trouble [02960] unto me; I am weary [03811] to bear [05375] them. 23 1 15 And when ye spread forth [06566] your hands [03709], I will hide [05956] mine eyes [05869] from you: yea, when ye make many [07235] prayers [08605], I will not hear [08085]: your hands [03027] are full [04390] of blood [01818]. 23 1 16 Wash [07364] you, make you clean [02135]; put away [05493] the evil [07455] of your doings [04611] from before [05048] mine eyes [05869]; cease [02308] to do evil [07489]; 23 1 17 Learn [03925] to do well [03190]; seek [01875] judgment [04941], relieve [0833] the oppressed [02541], judge [08199] the fatherless [03490], plead [07378] for the widow [0490]. 23 1 18 Come now [03212], and let us reason together [03198], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]: though your sins [02399] be as scarlet [08144], they shall be as white [03835] as snow [07950]; though they be red [0119] like crimson [08438], they shall be as wool [06785]. 23 1 19 If ye be willing [014] and obedient [08085], ye shall eat [0398] the good [02898] of the land [0776]: 23 1 20 But if ye refuse [03985] and rebel [04784], ye shall be devoured [0398] with the sword [02719]: for the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 1 21 How is the faithful [0539] city [07151] become an harlot [02181] ! it was full [04392] of judgment [04941]; righteousness [06664] lodged [03885] in it; but now murderers [07523]. 23 1 22 Thy silver [03701] is become dross [05509], thy wine [05435] mixed [04107] with water [04325]: 23 1 23 Thy princes [08269] are rebellious [05637], and companions [02270] of thieves [01590]: every one loveth [0157] gifts [07810], and followeth [07291] after rewards [08021]: they judge [08199] not the fatherless [03490], neither doth the cause [07379] of the widow [0490] come [0935] unto them. 23 1 24 Therefore saith [05002] the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the mighty One [046] of Israel [03478], Ah [01945], I will ease [05162] me of mine adversaries [06862], and avenge [05358] me of mine enemies [0341]: 23 1 25 And I will turn [07725] my hand [03027] upon thee, and purely [01253] purge away [06884] thy dross [05509], and take away [05493] all thy tin [0913]: 23 1 26 And I will restore [07725] thy judges [08199] as at the first [07223], and thy counsellors [03289] as at the beginning [08462]: afterward [0310] thou shalt be called [07121], The city [05892] of righteousness [06664], the faithful [0539] city [07151]. 23 1 27 Zion [06726] shall be redeemed [06299] with judgment [04941], and her converts [07725] with righteousness [06666]. 23 1 28 And the destruction [07667] of the transgressors [06586] and of the sinners [02400] shall be together [03162], and they that forsake [05800] the LORD [03068] shall be consumed [03615]. 23 1 29 For they shall be ashamed [0954] of the oaks [0352] which ye have desired [02530], and ye shall be confounded [02659] for the gardens [01593] that ye have chosen [0977]. 23 1 30 For ye shall be as an oak [0424] whose leaf [05929] fadeth [05034], and as a garden [01593] that hath no water [04325]. 23 1 31 And the strong [02634] shall be as tow [05296], and the maker [06467] of it as a spark [05213], and they shall both [08147] burn [01197] together [03162], and none shall quench [03518] them. 23 2 1 The word [01697] that Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] saw [02372] concerning Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]. 23 2 2 And it shall come to pass in the last [0319] days [03117], that the mountain [02022] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall be established [03559] in the top [07218] of the mountains [02022], and shall be exalted [05375] above the hills [01389]; and all nations [01471] shall flow [05102] unto it. 23 2 3 And many [07227] people [05971] shall go [01980] and say [0559], Come [03212] ye, and let us go up [05927] to the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], to the house [01004] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]; and he will teach [03384] us of his ways [01870], and we will walk [03212] in his paths [0734]: for out of Zion [06726] shall go forth [03318] the law [08451], and the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] from Jerusalem [03389]. 23 2 4 And he shall judge [08199] among the nations [01471], and shall rebuke [03198] many [07227] people [05971]: and they shall beat [03807] their swords [02719] into plowshares [0855], and their spears [02595] into pruninghooks [04211]: nation [01471] shall not lift up [05375] sword [02719] against nation [01471], neither shall they learn [03925] war [04421] any more. 23 2 5 O house [01004] of Jacob [03290], come [03212] ye, and let us walk [03212] in the light [0216] of the LORD [03068]. 23 2 6 Therefore thou hast forsaken [05203] thy people [05971] the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], because they be replenished [04390] from the east [06924], and are soothsayers [06049] like the Philistines [06430], and they please [05606] themselves in the children [03206] of strangers [05237]. 23 2 7 Their land [0776] also is full [04390] of silver [03701] and gold [02091], neither is there any end [07097] of their treasures [0214]; their land [0776] is also full [04390] of horses [05483], neither is there any end [07097] of their chariots [04818]: 23 2 8 Their land [0776] also is full [04390] of idols [0457]; they worship [07812] the work [04639] of their own hands [03027], that which their own fingers [0676] have made [06213]: 23 2 9 And the mean man [0120] boweth down [07817], and the great man [0376] humbleth [08213] himself: therefore forgive [05375] them not. 23 2 10 Enter [0935] into the rock [06697], and hide [02934] thee in the dust [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347]. 23 2 11 The lofty [01365] looks [05869] of man [0120] shall be humbled [08213], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be bowed down [07817], and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117]. 23 2 12 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be upon every one that is proud [01343] and lofty [07311], and upon every one that is lifted up [05375]; and he shall be brought low [08213]: 23 2 13 And upon all the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844], that are high [07311] and lifted up [05375], and upon all the oaks [0437] of Bashan [01316], 23 2 14 And upon all the high [07311] mountains [02022], and upon all the hills [01389] that are lifted up [05375], 23 2 15 And upon every high [01364] tower [04026], and upon every fenced [01219] wall [02346], 23 2 16 And upon all the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659], and upon all pleasant [02532] pictures [07914]. 23 2 17 And the loftiness [01365] of man [0120] shall be bowed down [07817], and the haughtiness [07312] of men [0582] shall be made low [08213]: and the LORD [03068] alone shall be exalted [07682] in that day [03117]. 23 2 18 And the idols [0457] he shall utterly [03632] abolish [02498]. 23 2 19 And they shall go [0935] into the holes [04631] of the rocks [06697], and into the caves [04247] of the earth [06083], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776]. 23 2 20 In that day [03117] a man [0120] shall cast [07993] his idols [0457] of silver [03701], and his idols [0457] of gold [02091], which they made each one for himself [06213] to worship [07812], to the moles [02661] [06512] and to the bats [05847]; 23 2 21 To go [0935] into the clefts [05366] of the rocks [06697], and into the tops [05585] of the ragged rocks [05553], for [06440] fear [06343] of the LORD [03068], and for the glory [01926] of his majesty [01347], when he ariseth [06965] to shake terribly [06206] the earth [0776]. 23 2 22 Cease [02308] ye from man [0120], whose breath [05397] is in his nostrils [0639]: for wherein is he to be accounted of [02803]? 23 3 1 For, behold, the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], doth take away [05493] from Jerusalem [03389] and from Judah [03063] the stay [04937] and the staff [04938], the whole stay [04937] of bread [03899], and the whole [03605] stay [04937] of water [04325], 23 3 2 The mighty man [01368], and the man [0376] of war [04421], the judge [08199], and the prophet [05030], and the prudent [07080], and the ancient [02205], 23 3 3 The captain [08269] of fifty [02572], and the honourable [05375] man [06440], and the counsellor [03289], and the cunning [02450] artificer [02791], and the eloquent [0995] orator [03908]. 23 3 4 And I will give [05414] children [05288] to be their princes [08269], and babes [08586] shall rule [04910] over them. 23 3 5 And the people [05971] shall be oppressed [05065], every one [0376] by another [0376], and every one [0376] by his neighbour [07453]: the child [05288] shall behave himself proudly [07292] against the ancient [02205], and the base [07034] against the honourable [03513]. 23 3 6 When a man [0376] shall take hold [08610] of his brother [0251] of the house [01004] of his father [01], saying, Thou hast clothing [08071], be thou our ruler [07101], and let this ruin [04384] be under thy hand [03027]: 23 3 7 In that day [03117] shall he swear [05375], saying [0559], I will not be an healer [02280]; for in my house [01004] is neither bread [03899] nor clothing [08071]: make [07760] me not a ruler [07101] of the people [05971]. 23 3 8 For Jerusalem [03389] is ruined [03782], and Judah [03063] is fallen [05307]: because their tongue [03956] and their doings [04611] are against the LORD [03068], to provoke [04784] the eyes [05869] of his glory [03519]. 23 3 9 The shew [01971] of their countenance [06440] doth witness against them [06030]; and they declare [05046] their sin [02403] as Sodom [05467], they hide [03582] it not. Woe [0188] unto their soul [05315]! for they have rewarded [01580] evil [07451] unto themselves. 23 3 10 Say [0559] ye to the righteous [06662], that it shall be well [02896] with him: for they shall eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of their doings [04611]. 23 3 11 Woe [0188] unto the wicked [07563]! it shall be ill [07451] with him: for the reward [01576] of his hands [03027] shall be given [06213] him. 23 3 12 As for my people [05971], children [05953] are their oppressors [05065], and women [0802] rule [04910] over them. O my people [05971], they which lead [0833] thee cause thee to err [08582], and destroy [01104] the way [01870] of thy paths [0734]. 23 3 13 The LORD [03068] standeth up [05324] to plead [07378], and standeth [05975] to judge [01777] the people [05971]. 23 3 14 The LORD [03068] will enter [0935] into judgment [04941] with the ancients [02205] of his people [05971], and the princes [08269] thereof: for ye have eaten up [01197] the vineyard [03754]; the spoil [01500] of the poor [06041] is in your houses [01004]. 23 3 15 What mean ye that ye beat [01792] my people [05971] to pieces [01792], and grind [02912] the faces [06440] of the poor [06041]? saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635]. 23 3 16 Moreover the LORD [03068] saith [0559], Because [03282] the daughters [01323] of Zion [06726] are haughty [01361], and walk [03212] with stretched forth [05186] necks [01627] and wanton [08265] eyes [05869], walking [01980] and mincing [02952] as they go [03212], and making a tinkling [05913] with their feet [07272]: 23 3 17 Therefore the Lord [0136] will smite with a scab [05596] the crown of the head [06936] of the daughters [01323] of Zion [06726], and the LORD [03068] will discover [06168] their secret parts [06596]. 23 3 18 In that day [03117] the Lord [0136] will take away [05493] the bravery [08597] of their tinkling ornaments [05914] about their feet, and their cauls [07636], and their round tires like the moon [07720], 23 3 19 The chains [05188], and the bracelets [08285], and the mufflers [07479], 23 3 20 The bonnets [06287], and the ornaments of the legs [06807], and the headbands [07196], and the tablets [05315] [01004], and the earrings [03908], 23 3 21 The rings [02885], and nose [0639] jewels [05141], 23 3 22 The changeable suits of apparel [04254], and the mantles [04595], and the wimples [04304], and the crisping pins [02754], 23 3 23 The glasses [01549], and the fine linen [05466], and the hoods [06797], and the vails [07289]. 23 3 24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell [01314] there shall be stink [04716]; and instead of a girdle [02290] a rent [05364]; and instead of well set [04639] hair [04748] baldness [07144]; and instead of a stomacher [06614] a girding [04228] of sackcloth [08242]; and burning [03587] instead of beauty [03308]. 23 3 25 Thy men [04962] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], and thy mighty [01369] in the war [04421]. 23 3 26 And her gates [06607] shall lament [0578] and mourn [056]; and she being desolate [05352] shall sit [03427] upon the ground [0776]. 23 4 1 And in that day [03117] seven [07651] women [0802] shall take hold [02388] of one [0259] man [0376], saying [0559], We will eat [0398] our own bread [03899], and wear [03847] our own apparel [08071]: only let us be called [07121] by thy name [08034], to take away [0622] our reproach [02781]. 23 4 2 In that day [03117] shall the branch [06780] of the LORD [03068] be beautiful [06643] and glorious [03519], and the fruit [06529] of the earth [0776] shall be excellent [01347] and comely for [08597] them that are escaped [06413] of Israel [03478]. 23 4 3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left [07604] in Zion [06726], and he that remaineth [03498] in Jerusalem [03389], shall be called [0559] holy [06918], even every one that is written [03789] among the living [02416] in Jerusalem [03389]: 23 4 4 When the Lord [0136] shall have washed away [07364] the filth [06675] of the daughters [01323] of Zion [06726], and shall have purged [01740] the blood [01818] of Jerusalem [03389] from the midst [07130] thereof by the spirit [07307] of judgment [04941], and by the spirit [07307] of burning [01197]. 23 4 5 And the LORD [03068] will create [01254] upon every dwelling place [04349] of mount [02022] Zion [06726], and upon her assemblies [04744], a cloud [06051] and smoke [06227] by day [03119], and the shining [05051] of a flaming [03852] fire [0784] by night [03915]: for upon all the glory [03519] shall be a defence [02646]. 23 4 6 And there shall be a tabernacle [05521] for a shadow [06738] in the daytime [03119] from the heat [02721], and for a place of refuge [04268], and for a covert [04563] from storm [02230] and from rain [04306]. 23 5 1 Now will I sing [07891] to my wellbeloved [03039] a song [07892] of my beloved [01730] touching his vineyard [03754]. My wellbeloved [03039] hath a vineyard [03754] in a very fruitful [01121] [08081] hill [07161]: 23 5 2 And he fenced [05823] it, and gathered out the stones [05619] thereof, and planted [05193] it with the choicest vine [08321], and built [01129] a tower [04026] in the midst [08432] of it, and also made [02672] a winepress [03342] therein: and he looked [06960] that it should bring forth [06213] grapes [06025], and it brought forth [06213] wild grapes [0891]. 23 5 3 And now, O inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and men [0376] of Judah [03063], judge [08199], I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard [03754]. 23 5 4 What could have been done [06213] more to my vineyard [03754], that I have not done [06213] in it? wherefore [04069], when I looked [06960] that it should bring forth [06213] grapes [06025], brought it forth [06213] wild grapes [0891]? 23 5 5 And now go to; I will tell [03045] you what I will do [06213] to my vineyard [03754]: I will take away [05493] the hedge [04881] thereof, and it shall be eaten up [01197]; and break down [06555] the wall [01447] thereof, and it shall be trodden down [04823]: 23 5 6 And I will lay [07896] it waste [01326]: it shall not be pruned [02168], nor digged [05737]; but there shall come up [05927] briers [08068] and thorns [07898]: I will also command [06680] the clouds [05645] that they rain [04305] no rain [04306] upon it. 23 5 7 For the vineyard [03754] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and the men [0376] of Judah [03063] his pleasant [08191] plant [05194]: and he looked [06960] for judgment [04941], but behold oppression [04939]; for righteousness [06666], but behold a cry [06818]. 23 5 8 Woe [01945] unto them that join [05060] house [01004] to house [01004], that lay [07126] field [07704] to field [07704], till there be no [0657] place [04725], that they may be placed [03427] alone in the midst [07130] of the earth [0776]! 23 5 9 In mine ears [0241] said the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Of a truth [03808] many [07227] houses [01004] shall be desolate [08047], even great [01419] and fair [02896], without inhabitant [03427]. 23 5 10 Yea [03588], ten [06235] acres [06776] of vineyard [03754] shall yield [06213] one [0259] bath [01324], and the seed [02233] of an homer [02563] shall yield [06213] an ephah [0374]. 23 5 11 Woe [01945] unto them that rise up early [07925] in the morning [01242], that they may follow [07291] strong drink [07941]; that continue [0309] until night [05399], till wine [03196] inflame [01814] them! 23 5 12 And the harp [03658], and the viol [05035], the tabret [08596], and pipe [02485], and wine [03196], are in their feasts [04960]: but they regard [05027] not the work [06467] of the LORD [03068], neither consider [07200] the operation [04639] of his hands [03027]. 23 5 13 Therefore my people [05971] are gone into captivity [01540], because they have no knowledge [01847]: and their honourable [03519] men [04962] are famished [07458], and their multitude [01995] dried up [06704] with thirst [06772]. 23 5 14 Therefore hell [07585] hath enlarged [07337] herself [05315], and opened [06473] her mouth [06310] without measure [02706]: and their glory [01926], and their multitude [01995], and their pomp [07588], and he that rejoiceth [05938], shall descend [03381] into it. 23 5 15 And the mean man [0120] shall be brought down [07817], and the mighty man [0376] shall be humbled [08213], and the eyes [05869] of the lofty [01364] shall be humbled [08213]: 23 5 16 But the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall be exalted [01361] in judgment [04941], and God [0410] that is holy [06918] shall be sanctified [06942] in righteousness [06666]. 23 5 17 Then shall the lambs [03532] feed [07462] after their manner [01699], and the waste places [02723] of the fat ones [04220] shall strangers [01481] eat [0398]. 23 5 18 Woe [01945] unto them that draw [04900] iniquity [05771] with cords [02256] of vanity [07723], and sin [02403] as it were with a cart [05699] rope [05688]: 23 5 19 That say [0559], Let him make speed [04116], and hasten [02363] his work [04639], that we may see [07200] it: and let the counsel [06098] of the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] draw nigh [07126] and come [0935], that we may know [03045] it! 23 5 20 Woe [01945] unto them that call [0559] evil [07451] good [02896], and good [02896] evil [07451]; that put [07760] darkness [02822] for light [0216], and light [0216] for darkness [02822]; that put [07760] bitter [04751] for sweet [04966], and sweet [04966] for bitter [04751]! 23 5 21 Woe [01945] unto them that are wise [02450] in their own eyes [05869], and prudent [0995] in their own sight [06440]! 23 5 22 Woe [01945] unto them that are mighty [01368] to drink [08354] wine [03196], and men [0582] of strength [02428] to mingle [04537] strong drink [07941]: 23 5 23 Which justify [06663] the wicked [07563] for [06118] reward [07810], and take away [05493] the righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] from him! 23 5 24 Therefore as the fire [0784] devoureth [0398] the stubble [07179], and the flame [03956] [03852] consumeth [07503] the chaff [02842], so their root [08328] shall be as rottenness [04716], and their blossom [06525] shall go up [05927] as dust [080]: because they have cast away [03988] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and despised [05006] the word [0565] of the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 5 25 Therefore is the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] kindled [02734] against his people [05971], and he hath stretched forth [05186] his hand [03027] against them, and hath smitten [05221] them: and the hills [02022] did tremble [07264], and their carcases [05038] were torn [05478] in the midst [07130] of the streets [02351]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out [05186] still. 23 5 26 And he will lift up [05375] an ensign [05251] to the nations [01471] from far [07350], and will hiss [08319] unto them from the end [07097] of the earth [0776]: and, behold, they shall come [0935] with speed [04120] swiftly [07031]: 23 5 27 None shall be weary [05889] nor stumble [03782] among them; none shall slumber [05123] nor sleep [03462]; neither shall the girdle [0232] of their loins [02504] be loosed [06605], nor the latchet [08288] of their shoes [05275] be broken [05423]: 23 5 28 Whose arrows [02671] are sharp [08150], and all their bows [07198] bent [01869], their horses [05483]' hoofs [06541] shall be counted [02803] like flint [06862], and their wheels [01534] like a whirlwind [05492]: 23 5 29 Their roaring [07581] shall be like a lion [03833], they shall roar [07580] [07580] like young lions [03715]: yea, they shall roar [05098], and lay hold [0270] of the prey [02964], and shall carry it away safe [06403], and none shall deliver [05337] it. 23 5 30 And in that day [03117] they shall roar [05098] against them like the roaring [05100] of the sea [03220]: and if one look [05027] unto the land [0776], behold darkness [02822] and sorrow [06862], and the light [0216] is darkened [02821] in the heavens [06183] thereof. 23 6 1 In the year [08141] that king [04428] Uzziah [05818] died [04194] I saw [07200] also [0853] the Lord [0136] sitting [03427] upon a throne [03678], high [07311] and lifted up [05375], and his train [07757] filled [04392] [0853] the temple [01964]. 23 6 2 Above [04605] it stood [05975] the seraphims [08314]: each one [0259] had six [08337] wings [03671]; with twain [08147] he covered [03680] his face [06440], and with twain [08147] he covered [03680] his feet [07272], and with twain [08147] he did fly [05774]. 23 6 3 And one cried [07121] unto another, and said [0559], Holy [06918], holy [06918], holy [06918], is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: the whole earth [0776] is full [04393] of his glory [03519]. 23 6 4 And the posts [0520] of the door [05592] moved [05128] at the voice [06963] of him that cried [07121], and the house [01004] was filled [04390] with smoke [06227]. 23 6 5 Then said [0559] I, Woe [0188] is me! for I am undone [01820]; because I am a man [0376] of unclean [02931] lips [08193], and I dwell [03427] in the midst [08432] of a people [05971] of unclean [02931] lips [08193]: for mine eyes [05869] have seen [07200] the King [04428], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 6 6 Then flew [05774] one [0259] of the seraphims [08314] unto me, having a live coal [07531] in his hand [03027], which he had taken [03947] with the tongs [04457] from off the altar [04196]: 23 6 7 And he laid [05060] it upon my mouth [06310], and said [0559], Lo, this hath touched [05060] thy lips [08193]; and thine iniquity [05771] is taken away [05493], and thy sin [02403] purged [03722]. 23 6 8 Also I heard [08085] the voice [06963] of the Lord [0136], saying [0559], Whom shall I send [07971], and who will go [03212] for us? Then said [0559] I, Here am I; send [07971] me. 23 6 9 And he said [0559], Go [03212], and tell [0559] this people [05971], Hear [08085] ye indeed [08085], but understand [0995] not; and see [07200] ye indeed [07200], but perceive [03045] not. 23 6 10 Make the heart [03820] of this people [05971] fat [08080], and make their ears [0241] heavy [03513], and shut [08173] their eyes [05869]; lest they see [07200] with their eyes [05869], and hear [08085] with their ears [0241], and understand [0995] with their heart [03824], and convert [07725], and be healed [07495]. 23 6 11 Then said [0559] I, Lord [0136], how long? And he answered [0559], Until the cities [05892] be wasted [07582] without inhabitant [03427], and the houses [01004] without man [0120], and the land [0127] be utterly [08077] desolate [07582], 23 6 12 And the LORD [03068] have removed [07368] men [0120] far away [07368], and there be a great [07227] forsaking [05805] in the midst [07130] of the land [0776]. 23 6 13 But yet in it shall be a tenth [06224], and it shall return [07725], and shall be eaten [01197]: as a teil tree [0424], and as an oak [0437], whose substance [04678] is in them, when they cast [07995] their leaves: so the holy [06944] seed [02233] shall be the substance [04678] thereof. 23 7 1 And it came to pass in the days [03117] of Ahaz [0271] the son [01121] of Jotham [03147], the son [01121] of Uzziah [05818], king [04428] of Judah [03063], that Rezin [07526] the king [04428] of Syria [0758], and Pekah [06492] the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425], king [04428] of Israel [03478], went up [05927] toward Jerusalem [03389] to war [04421] against it, but could [03201] not prevail [03898] against it. 23 7 2 And it was told [05046] the house [01004] of David [01732], saying [0559], Syria [0758] is confederate [05117] with Ephraim [0669]. And his heart [03824] was moved [05128], and the heart [03824] of his people [05971], as the trees [06086] of the wood [03293] are moved [05128] with [06440] the wind [07307]. 23 7 3 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto Isaiah [03470], Go forth [03318] now to meet [07125] Ahaz [0271], thou, and Shearjashub [07610] thy son [01121], at the end [07097] of the conduit [08585] of the upper [05945] pool [01295] in the highway [04546] of the fuller's [03526] field [07704]; 23 7 4 And say [0559] unto him, Take heed [08104], and be quiet [08252]; fear [03372] not, neither be fainthearted [07401] [03824] for the two [08147] tails [02180] of these smoking [06226] firebrands [0181], for the fierce [02750] anger [0639] of Rezin [07526] with Syria [0758], and of the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425]. 23 7 5 Because Syria [0758], Ephraim [0669], and the son [01121] of Remaliah [07425], have taken evil [07451] counsel [03289] against thee, saying [0559], 23 7 6 Let us go up [05927] against Judah [03063], and vex [06973] it, and let us make a breach [01234] therein for us, and set [04427] a king [04428] in the midst [08432] of it, even the son [01121] of Tabeal [02870]: 23 7 7 Thus [03541] saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], It shall not stand [06965], neither shall it come to pass. 23 7 8 For the head [07218] of Syria [0758] is Damascus [01834], and the head [07218] of Damascus [01834] is Rezin [07526]; and within threescore [08346] and five [02568] years [08141] shall Ephraim [0669] be broken [02865], that it be not a people [05971]. 23 7 9 And the head [07218] of Ephraim [0669] is Samaria [08111], and the head [07218] of Samaria [08111] is Remaliah's [07425] son [01121]. If ye will not believe [0539], surely ye shall not be established [0539]. 23 7 10 Moreover the LORD [03068] spake [01696] again [03254] unto Ahaz [0271], saying [0559], 23 7 11 Ask [07592] thee a sign [0226] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; ask [07592] it either in the depth [06009], or in the height [01361] above [04605]. 23 7 12 But Ahaz [0271] said [0559], I will not ask [07592], neither will I tempt [05254] [0853] the LORD [03068]. 23 7 13 And he said [0559], Hear [08085] ye now, O house [01004] of David [01732]; Is it a small thing [04592] for you to weary [03811] men [0582], but will ye weary [03811] my God [0430] also? 23 7 14 Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410]. 23 7 15 Butter [02529] and honey [01706] shall he eat [0398], that he may know [03045] to refuse [03988] the evil [07451], and choose [0977] the good [02896]. 23 7 16 For before the child [05288] shall know [03045] to refuse [03988] the evil [07451], and choose [0977] the good [02896], the land [0127] that thou abhorrest [06973] shall be [06440] forsaken [05800] of both [08147] her kings [04428]. 23 7 17 The LORD [03068] shall bring [0935] upon thee, and upon thy people [05971], and upon thy father's [01] house [01004], days [03117] that have not come [0935], from the day [03117] that Ephraim [0669] departed [05493] from Judah [03063]; even the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 23 7 18 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the LORD [03068] shall hiss [08319] for the fly [02070] that is in the uttermost part [07097] of the rivers [02975] of Egypt [04714], and for the bee [01682] that is in the land [0776] of Assyria [0804]. 23 7 19 And they shall come [0935], and shall rest [05117] all of them in the desolate [01327] valleys [05158], and in the holes [05357] of the rocks [05553], and upon all thorns [05285], and upon all bushes [05097]. 23 7 20 In the same day [03117] shall the Lord [0136] shave [01548] with a razor [08593] that is hired [07917], namely, by them beyond [05676] the river [05104], by the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], the head [07218], and the hair [08181] of the feet [07272]: and it shall also consume [05595] the beard [02206]. 23 7 21 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that a man [0376] shall nourish [02421] a young [01241] cow [05697], and two [08147] sheep [06629]; 23 7 22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance [07230] of milk [02461] that they shall give [06213] he shall eat [0398] butter [02529]: for butter [02529] and honey [01706] shall every one eat [0398] that is left [03498] in [07130] the land [0776]. 23 7 23 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that every place [04725] shall be, where there were a thousand [0505] vines [01612] at a thousand [0505] silverlings [03701], it shall even be for briers [08068] and thorns [07898]. 23 7 24 With arrows [02671] and with bows [07198] shall men come [0935] thither; because all the land [0776] shall become briers [08068] and thorns [07898]. 23 7 25 And on all hills [02022] that shall be digged [05737] with the mattock [04576], there shall not come thither [0935] the fear [03374] of briers [08068] and thorns [07898]: but it shall be for the sending forth [04916] of oxen [07794], and for the treading [04823] of lesser cattle [07716]. 23 8 1 Moreover the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Take [03947] thee a great [01419] roll [01549], and write [03789] in it with a man's [0582] pen [02747] concerning Mahershalalhashbaz [04122]. 23 8 2 And I took [05749] unto me faithful [0539] witnesses [05707] to record [05749], Uriah [0223] the priest [03548], and Zechariah [02148] the son [01121] of Jeberechiah [03000]. 23 8 3 And I went [07126] unto the prophetess [05031]; and she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] to me, Call [07121] his name [08034] Mahershalalhashbaz [04122]. 23 8 4 For before the child [05288] shall have knowledge [03045] to cry [07121], My father [01], and my mother [0517], the riches [02428] of Damascus [01834] and the spoil [07998] of Samaria [08111] shall be taken away [05375] before [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 23 8 5 The LORD [03068] spake [01696] also unto me again [03254], saying [0559], 23 8 6 Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] refuseth [03988] the waters [04325] of Shiloah [07975] that go [01980] softly [0328], and rejoice [04885] in Rezin [07526] and Remaliah's [07425] son [01121]; 23 8 7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord [0136] bringeth up [05927] upon them the waters [04325] of the river [05104], strong [06099] and many [07227], even the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and all his glory [03519]: and he shall come up [05927] over all his channels [0650], and go over [01980] all his banks [01415]: 23 8 8 And he shall pass [02498] through Judah [03063]; he shall overflow [07857] and go over [05674], he shall reach [05060] even to the neck [06677]; and the stretching out [04298] of his wings [03671] shall fill [04393] the breadth [07341] of thy land [0776], O Immanuel [06005] [0410]. 23 8 9 Associate [07489] yourselves, O ye people [05971], and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865]; and give ear [0238], all [03605] ye of far [04801] countries [0776]: gird [0247] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865]; gird [0247] yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces [02865]. 23 8 10 Take [05779] counsel [06098] together [05779], and it shall come to nought [06565]; speak [01696] the word [01697], and it shall not stand [06965]: for God [0410] is with us. 23 8 11 For the LORD [03068] spake [0559] thus to me with a strong [02393] hand [03027], and instructed [03256] me that I should not walk [03212] in the way [01870] of this people [05971], saying [0559], 23 8 12 Say [0559] ye not, A confederacy [07195], to all them to whom this people [05971] shall say [0559], A confederacy [07195]; neither fear [03372] ye their fear [04172], nor be afraid [06206]. 23 8 13 Sanctify [06942] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] himself; and let him be your fear [04172], and let him be your dread [06206]. 23 8 14 And he shall be for a sanctuary [04720]; but for a stone [068] of stumbling [05063] and for a rock [06697] of offence [04383] to both [08147] the houses [01004] of Israel [03478], for a gin [06341] and for a snare [04170] to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]. 23 8 15 And many [07227] among them shall stumble [03782], and fall [05307], and be broken [07665], and be snared [03369], and be taken [03920]. 23 8 16 Bind up [06887] the testimony [08584], seal [02856] the law [08451] among my disciples [03928]. 23 8 17 And I will wait [02442] upon the LORD [03068], that hideth [05641] his face [06440] from the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and I will look [06960] for him. 23 8 18 Behold, I and the children [03206] whom the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] me are for signs [0226] and for wonders [04159] in Israel [03478] from the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which dwelleth [07931] in mount [02022] Zion [06726]. 23 8 19 And when they shall say [0559] unto you, Seek [01875] unto them that have familiar spirits [0178], and unto wizards [03049] that peep [06850], and that mutter [01897]: should not a people [05971] seek [01875] unto their God [0430]? for the living [02416] to the dead [04191]? 23 8 20 To the law [08451] and to the testimony [08584]: if they speak [0559] not according to this word [01697], it is because there is no light [07837] in them. 23 8 21 And they shall pass [05674] through it, hardly bestead [07185] and hungry [07457]: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry [07456], they shall fret [07107] themselves, and curse [07043] their king [04428] and their God [0430], and look [06437] upward [04605]. 23 8 22 And they shall look [05027] unto the earth [0776]; and behold trouble [06869] and darkness [02825], dimness [04588] of anguish [06695]; and they shall be driven [05080] to darkness [0653]. 23 9 1 Nevertheless the dimness [04155] shall not be such as was in her vexation [04164], when [06256] at the first [07223] he lightly afflicted [07043] the land [0776] of Zebulun [02074] and the land [0776] of Naphtali [05321], and afterward [0314] did more grievously afflict [03513] her by the way [01870] of the sea [03220], beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], in Galilee [01551] of the nations [01471]. 23 9 2 The people [05971] that walked [01980] in darkness [02822] have seen [07200] a great [01419] light [0216]: they that dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of the shadow of death [06757], upon them hath the light [0216] shined [05050]. 23 9 3 Thou hast multiplied [07235] the nation [01471], and not increased [01431] the joy [08057]: they joy [08055] before [06440] thee according to the joy [08057] in harvest [07105], and as men rejoice [01523] when they divide [02505] the spoil [07998]. 23 9 4 For thou hast broken [02865] the yoke [05923] of his burden [05448], and the staff [04294] of his shoulder [07926], the rod [07626] of his oppressor [05065], as in the day [03117] of Midian [04080]. 23 9 5 For every battle [05430] of the warrior [05431] is with confused noise [07494], and garments [08071] rolled [01556] in blood [01818]; but this shall be with burning [08316] and fuel [03980] of fire [0784]. 23 9 6 For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965]. 23 9 7 Of the increase [04766] of his government [04951] and peace [07965] there shall be no end [07093], upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and upon his kingdom [04467], to order [03559] it, and to establish [05582] it with judgment [04941] and with justice [06666] from henceforth even for [05704] ever [05769]. The zeal [07068] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] will perform [06213] this. 23 9 8 The Lord [0136] sent [07971] a word [01697] into Jacob [03290], and it hath lighted [05307] upon Israel [03478]. 23 9 9 And all the people [05971] shall know [03045], even Ephraim [0669] and the inhabitant [03427] of Samaria [08111], that say [0559] in the pride [01346] and stoutness [01433] of heart [03824], 23 9 10 The bricks [03843] are fallen down [05307], but we will build [01129] with hewn stones [01496]: the sycomores [08256] are cut down [01438], but we will change [02498] them into cedars [0730]. 23 9 11 Therefore the LORD [03068] shall set up [07682] the adversaries [06862] of Rezin [07526] against him, and join [05526] his enemies [0341] together [05526]; 23 9 12 The Syrians [0758] before [06924], and the Philistines [06430] behind [0268]; and they shall devour [0398] Israel [03478] with open mouth [06310]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out still [05186]. 23 9 13 For the people [05971] turneth [07725] not unto him that smiteth [05221] them, neither do they seek [01875] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 9 14 Therefore the LORD [03068] will cut off [03772] from Israel [03478] head [07218] and tail [02180], branch [03712] and rush [0100], in one [0259] day [03117]. 23 9 15 The ancient [02205] and honourable [06440] [05375], he [01931] is the head [07218]; and the prophet [05030] that teacheth [03384] lies [08267], he is the tail [02180]. 23 9 16 For the leaders [0833] of this people [05971] cause them to err [08582]; and they that are led [0833] of them are destroyed [01104]. 23 9 17 Therefore the Lord [0136] shall have no joy [08055] in their young men [0970], neither shall have mercy [07355] on their fatherless [03490] and widows [0490]: for every one is an hypocrite [02611] and an evildoer [07489], and every mouth [06310] speaketh [01696] folly [05039]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out still [05186]. 23 9 18 For wickedness [07564] burneth [01197] as the fire [0784]: it shall devour [0398] the briers [08068] and thorns [07898], and shall kindle [03341] in the thickets [05442] of the forest [03293], and they shall mount up [055] like the lifting up [01348] of smoke [06227]. 23 9 19 Through the wrath [05678] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is the land [0776] darkened [06272], and the people [05971] shall be as the fuel [03980] of the fire [0784]: no man [0376] shall spare [02550] his brother [0251]. 23 9 20 And he shall snatch [01504] on the right hand [03225], and be hungry [07457]; and he shall eat [0398] on the left hand [08040], and they shall not be satisfied [07646]: they shall eat [0398] every man [0376] the flesh [01320] of his own arm [02220]: 23 9 21 Manasseh [04519], Ephraim [0669]; and Ephraim [0669], Manasseh [04519]: and they together [03162] shall be against Judah [03063]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out still [05186]. 23 10 1 Woe [01945] unto them that decree [02710] unrighteous [0205] decrees [02711], and that write [03789] grievousness [05999] which they have prescribed [03789]; 23 10 2 To turn aside [05186] the needy [01800] from judgment [01779], and to take away [01497] the right [04941] from the poor [06041] of my people [05971], that widows [0490] may be their prey [07998], and that they may rob [0962] the fatherless [03490]! 23 10 3 And what will ye do [06213] in the day [03117] of visitation [06486], and in the desolation [07722] which shall come [0935] from far [04801]? to whom will ye flee [05127] for help [05833]? and where will ye leave [05800] your glory [03519]? 23 10 4 Without me they shall [01115] bow down [03766] under the prisoners [0616], and they shall fall [05307] under the slain [02026]. For all this his anger [0639] is not turned away [07725], but his hand [03027] is stretched out still [05186]. 23 10 5 O [01945] Assyrian [0804], the rod [07626] of mine anger [0639], and the staff [04294] in their hand [03027] is mine indignation [02195]. 23 10 6 I will send [07971] him against an hypocritical [02611] nation [01471], and against the people [05971] of my wrath [05678] will I give him a charge [06680], to take [07997] the spoil [07998], and to take [0962] the prey [0957], and to tread them down [07760] [04823] like the mire [02563] of the streets [02351]. 23 10 7 Howbeit he meaneth [01819] not so, neither doth his heart [03824] think [02803] so; but it is in his heart [03824] to destroy [08045] and cut off [03772] nations [01471] not a few [04592]. 23 10 8 For he saith [0559], Are not my princes [08269] altogether [03162] kings [04428]? 23 10 9 Is not Calno [03641] as Carchemish [03751]? is not Hamath [02574] as Arpad [0774]? is not Samaria [08111] as Damascus [01834]? 23 10 10 As my hand [03027] hath found [04672] the kingdoms [04467] of the idols [0457], and whose graven images [06456] did excel them of Jerusalem [03389] and of Samaria [08111]; 23 10 11 Shall I not, as I have done [06213] unto Samaria [08111] and her idols [0457], so do [06213] to Jerusalem [03389] and her idols [06091]? 23 10 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord [0136] hath performed [01214] his whole work [04639] upon mount [02022] Zion [06726] and on Jerusalem [03389], I will punish [06485] the fruit [06529] of the stout [01433] heart [03824] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and the glory [08597] of his high [07312] looks [05869]. 23 10 13 For he saith [0559], By the strength [03581] of my hand [03027] I have done [06213] it, and by my wisdom [02451]; for I am prudent [0995]: and I have removed [05493] the bounds [01367] of the people [05971], and have robbed [08154] their treasures [06259] [06264], and I have put down [03381] the inhabitants [03427] like a valiant [047] [03524] man: 23 10 14 And my hand [03027] hath found [04672] as a nest [07064] the riches [02428] of the people [05971]: and as one gathereth [0622] eggs [01000] that are left [05800], have I gathered [0622] all the earth [0776]; and there was none that moved [05074] the wing [03671], or opened [06475] the mouth [06310], or peeped [06850]. 23 10 15 Shall the axe [01631] boast [06286] itself against him that heweth [02672] therewith? or shall the saw [04883] magnify [01431] itself against him that shaketh [05130] it? as if the rod [07626] should shake [05130] itself against them that lift it up [07311], or as if the staff [04294] should lift up [07311] itself, as if it were no wood [06086]. 23 10 16 Therefore shall the Lord [0113], the Lord [0136] [03068] of hosts [06635], send [07971] among his fat ones [04924] leanness [07332]; and under his glory [03519] he shall kindle [03344] a burning [03350] like the burning of a fire [0784]. 23 10 17 And the light [0216] of Israel [03478] shall be for a fire [0784], and his Holy One [06918] for a flame [03852]: and it shall burn [01197] and devour [0398] his thorns [07898] and his briers [08068] in one [0259] day [03117]; 23 10 18 And shall consume [03615] the glory [03519] of his forest [03293], and of his fruitful field [03759], both soul [05315] and body [01320]: and they shall be as when a standardbearer [05263] fainteth [04549]. 23 10 19 And the rest [07605] of the trees [06086] of his forest [03293] shall be few [04557], that a child [05288] may write [03789] them. 23 10 20 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the remnant [07605] of Israel [03478], and such as are escaped [06413] of the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], shall no more again [03254] stay [08172] upon him that smote [05221] them; but shall stay [08172] upon the LORD [03068], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], in truth [0571]. 23 10 21 The remnant [07605] shall return [07725], even the remnant [07605] of Jacob [03290], unto the mighty [01368] God [0410]. 23 10 22 For though thy people [05971] Israel [03478] be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], yet a remnant [07605] of them shall return [07725]: the consumption [03631] decreed [02782] shall overflow [07857] with righteousness [06666]. 23 10 23 For the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] shall make [06213] a consumption [03617], even determined [02782], in the midst [07130] of all the land [0776]. 23 10 24 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], O my people [05971] that dwellest [03427] in Zion [06726], be not afraid [03372] of the Assyrian [0804]: he shall smite [05221] thee with a rod [07626], and shall lift up [05375] his staff [04294] against thee, after the manner [01870] of Egypt [04714]. 23 10 25 For yet a very [04213] little while [04592], and the indignation [02195] shall cease [03615], and mine anger [0639] in their destruction [08399]. 23 10 26 And the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall stir up [05782] a scourge [07752] for him according to the slaughter [04347] of Midian [04080] at the rock [06697] of Oreb [06159]: and as his rod [04294] was upon the sea [03220], so shall he lift it up [05375] after the manner [01870] of Egypt [04714]. 23 10 27 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that his burden [05448] shall be taken away [05493] from off thy shoulder [07926], and his yoke [05923] from off thy neck [06677], and the yoke [05923] shall be destroyed [02254] because [06440] of the anointing [08081]. 23 10 28 He is come [0935] to Aiath [05857], he is passed [05674] to Migron [04051]; at Michmash [04363] he hath laid up [06485] his carriages [03627]: 23 10 29 They are gone over [05674] the passage [04569]: they have taken up their lodging [04411] at Geba [01387]; Ramah [07414] is afraid [02729]; Gibeah [01390] of Saul [07586] is fled [05127]. 23 10 30 Lift up [06670] thy voice [06963], O daughter [01323] of [01530] Gallim [01554]: cause it to be heard [07181] unto Laish [03919], O poor [06041] Anathoth [06068]. 23 10 31 Madmenah [04088] is removed [05074]; the inhabitants [03427] of Gebim [01374] gather themselves to flee [05756]. 23 10 32 As yet shall he remain [05975] at Nob [05011] that day [03117]: he shall shake [05130] his hand [03027] against the mount [02022] of the daughter [01323] [01004] of Zion [06726], the hill [01389] of Jerusalem [03389]. 23 10 33 Behold, the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], shall lop [05586] the bough [06288] with terror [04637]: and the high ones [07311] of stature [06967] shall be hewn down [01438], and the haughty [01364] shall be humbled [08213]. 23 10 34 And he shall cut down [05362] the thickets [05442] of the forest [03293] with iron [01270], and Lebanon [03844] shall fall [05307] by a mighty one [0117]. 23 11 1 And there shall come forth [03318] a rod [02415] out of the stem [01503] of Jesse [03448], and a Branch [05342] shall grow [06509] out of his roots [08328]: 23 11 2 And the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall rest [05117] upon him, the spirit [07307] of wisdom [02451] and understanding [0998], the spirit [07307] of counsel [06098] and might [01369], the spirit [07307] of knowledge [01847] and of the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]; 23 11 3 And shall make him of quick understanding [07306] in the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]: and he shall not judge [08199] after the sight [04758] of his eyes [05869], neither reprove [03198] after the hearing [04926] of his ears [0241]: 23 11 4 But with righteousness [06664] shall he judge [08199] the poor [01800], and reprove [03198] with equity [04334] for the meek [06035] of the earth [0776]: and he shall smite [05221] the earth [0776] with the rod [07626] of his mouth [06310], and with the breath [07307] of his lips [08193] shall he slay [04191] the wicked [07563]. 23 11 5 And righteousness [06664] shall be the girdle [0232] of his loins [04975], and faithfulness [0530] the girdle [0232] of his reins [02504]. 23 11 6 The wolf [02061] also shall dwell [01481] with the lamb [03532], and the leopard [05246] shall lie down [07257] with the kid [01423]; and the calf [05695] and the young lion [03715] and the fatling [04806] together [03162]; and a little [06996] child [05288] shall lead [05090] them. 23 11 7 And the cow [06510] and the bear [01677] shall feed [07462]; their young ones [03206] shall lie down [07257] together [03162]: and the lion [0738] shall eat [0398] straw [08401] like the ox [01241]. 23 11 8 And the sucking child [03243] shall play [08173] on the hole [02352] of the asp [06620], and the weaned child [01580] shall put [01911] his hand [03027] on the cockatrice [06848]' den [03975]. 23 11 9 They shall not hurt [07489] nor destroy [07843] in all my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: for the earth [0776] shall be full [04390] of the knowledge [01844] of the LORD [03068], as the waters [04325] cover [03680] the sea [03220]. 23 11 10 And in that day [03117] there shall be a root [08328] of Jesse [03448], which shall stand [05975] for an ensign [05251] of the people [05971]; to it shall the Gentiles [01471] seek [01875]: and his rest [04496] shall be glorious [03519]. 23 11 11 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the Lord [0136] shall set [03254] his hand [03027] again [03254] the second time [08145] to recover [07069] the remnant [07605] of his people [05971], which shall be left [07604], from Assyria [0804], and from Egypt [04714], and from Pathros [06624], and from Cush [03568], and from Elam [05867], and from Shinar [08152], and from Hamath [02574], and from the islands [0339] of the sea [03220]. 23 11 12 And he shall set up [05375] an ensign [05251] for the nations [01471], and shall assemble [0622] the outcasts [01760] of Israel [03478], and gather together [06908] the dispersed [05310] of Judah [03063] from the four [0702] corners [03671] of the earth [0776]. 23 11 13 The envy [07068] also of Ephraim [0669] shall depart [05493], and the adversaries [06887] of Judah [03063] shall be cut off [03772]: Ephraim [0669] shall not envy [07065] Judah [03063], and Judah [03063] shall not vex [06887] Ephraim [0669]. 23 11 14 But they shall fly [05774] upon the shoulders [03802] of the Philistines [06430] toward the west [03220]; they shall spoil [0962] them [01121] of the east [06924] together [03162]: they shall lay [04916] their hand [03027] upon Edom [0123] and Moab [04124]; and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] shall obey [04928] them. 23 11 15 And the LORD [03068] shall utterly destroy [02763] the tongue [03956] of the Egyptian [04714] sea [03220]; and with his mighty [05868] wind [07307] shall he shake [05130] his hand [03027] over the river [05104], and shall smite [05221] it in the seven [07651] streams [05158], and make men go over [01869] dryshod [05275]. 23 11 16 And there shall be an highway [04546] for the remnant [07605] of his people [05971], which [0834] shall be left [07604], from Assyria [0804]; like as it was to Israel [03478] in the day [03117] that he came up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 23 12 1 And in that day [03117] thou shalt say [0559], O LORD [03068], I will praise [03034] thee: though thou wast angry [0599] with me, thine anger [0639] is turned away [07725], and thou comfortedst [05162] me. 23 12 2 Behold, God [0410] is my salvation [03444]; I will trust [0982], and not be afraid [06342]: for the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is my strength [05797] and my song [02176]; he also is become my salvation [03444]. 23 12 3 Therefore with joy [08342] shall ye draw [07579] water [04325] out of the wells [04599] of salvation [03444]. 23 12 4 And in that day [03117] shall ye say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068], call [07121] upon his name [08034], declare [03045] his doings [05949] among the people [05971], make mention [02142] that his name [08034] is exalted [07682]. 23 12 5 Sing [02167] unto the LORD [03068]; for he hath done [06213] excellent things [01348]: this is known [03045] [03045] in all the earth [0776]. 23 12 6 Cry out [06670] and shout [07442], thou inhabitant [03427] of Zion [06726]: for great [01419] is the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] in the midst [07130] of thee. 23 13 1 The burden [04853] of Babylon [0894], which Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] did see [02372]. 23 13 2 Lift ye up [05375] a banner [05251] upon the high [08192] mountain [02022], exalt [07311] the voice [06963] unto them, shake [05130] the hand [03027], that they may go [0935] into the gates [06607] of the nobles [05081]. 23 13 3 I have commanded [06680] my sanctified ones [06942], I have also called [07121] my mighty ones [01368] for mine anger [0639], even them that rejoice [05947] in my highness [01346]. 23 13 4 The noise [06963] of a multitude [01995] in the mountains [02022], like as [01823] of a great [07227] people [05971]; a tumultuous [07588] noise [06963] of the kingdoms [04467] of nations [01471] gathered together [0622]: the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] mustereth [06485] the host [06635] of the battle [04421]. 23 13 5 They come [0935] from a far [04801] country [0776], from the end [07097] of heaven [08064], even the LORD [03068], and the weapons [03627] of his indignation [02195], to destroy [02254] the whole land [0776]. 23 13 6 Howl [03213] ye; for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]; it shall come [0935] as a destruction [07701] from the Almighty [07706]. 23 13 7 Therefore shall all hands [03027] be faint [07503], and every man's [0582] heart [03824] shall melt [04549]: 23 13 8 And they shall be afraid [0926]: pangs [06735] and sorrows [02256] shall take hold [0270] of them; they shall be in pain [02342] as a woman that travaileth [03205]: they shall be amazed [08539] one [0376] at another [07453]; their faces [06440] shall be as flames [03851]. 23 13 9 Behold, the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] cometh [0935], cruel [0394] both with wrath [05678] and fierce [02740] anger [0639], to lay [07760] the land [0776] desolate [08047]: and he shall destroy [08045] the sinners [02400] thereof out of it. 23 13 10 For the stars [03556] of heaven [08064] and the constellations [03685] thereof shall not give [01984] their light [0216]: the sun [08121] shall be darkened [02821] in his going forth [03318], and the moon [03394] shall not cause her light [0216] to shine [05050]. 23 13 11 And I will punish [06485] the world [08398] for their evil [07451], and the wicked [07563] for their iniquity [05771]; and I will cause the arrogancy [01347] of the proud [02086] to cease [07673], and will lay low [08213] the haughtiness [01346] of the terrible [06184]. 23 13 12 I will make a man [0582] more precious [03365] than fine gold [06337]; even a man [0120] than the golden wedge [03800] of Ophir [0211]. 23 13 13 Therefore I will shake [07264] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] shall remove [07493] out of her place [04725], in the wrath [05678] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and in the day [03117] of his fierce [02740] anger [0639]. 23 13 14 And it shall be as the chased [05080] roe [06643], and as a sheep [06629] that no man taketh up [06908]: they shall every man [0376] turn [06437] to his own people [05971], and flee [05127] every one [0376] into his own land [0776]. 23 13 15 Every one that is found [04672] shall be thrust through [01856]; and every one that is joined [05595] unto them shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]. 23 13 16 Their children [05768] also shall be dashed to pieces [07376] before their eyes [05869]; their houses [01004] shall be spoiled [08155], and their wives [0802] ravished [07901] [07693]. 23 13 17 Behold, I will stir up [05782] the Medes [04074] against them, which shall not regard [02803] silver [03701]; and as for gold [02091], they shall not delight [02654] in it. 23 13 18 Their bows [07198] also shall dash [07376] the young men [05288] to pieces [07376]; and they shall have no pity [07355] on the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990]; their eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] children [01121]. 23 13 19 And Babylon [0894], the glory [06643] of kingdoms [04467], the beauty [08597] of the Chaldees [03778]' excellency [01347], shall be as when God [0430] overthrew [04114] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017]. 23 13 20 It shall never [05331] be inhabited [03427], neither shall it be dwelt [07931] in from generation [01755] to generation [01755]: neither shall the Arabian [06163] pitch tent [0167] there; neither shall the shepherds [07462] make their fold [07257] there. 23 13 21 But wild beasts of the desert [06728] shall lie [07257] there; and their houses [01004] shall be full [04390] of doleful creatures [0255]; and owls [01323] [03284] shall dwell [07931] there, and satyrs [08163] shall dance [07540] there. 23 13 22 And the wild beasts of the islands [0338] shall cry [06030] in their desolate houses [0490], and dragons [08577] in their pleasant [06027] palaces [01964]: and her time [06256] is near [07138] to come [0935], and her days [03117] shall not be prolonged [04900]. 23 14 1 For the LORD [03068] will have mercy [07355] on Jacob [03290], and will yet choose [0977] Israel [03478], and set [03240] them in their own land [0127]: and the strangers [01616] shall be joined [03867] with them, and they shall cleave [05596] to the house [01004] of Jacob [03290]. 23 14 2 And the people [05971] shall take [03947] them, and bring [0935] them to their place [04725]: and the house [01004] of Israel [03478] shall possess [05157] them in the land [0127] of the LORD [03068] for servants [05650] and handmaids [08198]: and they shall take them captives [07617], whose captives [07617] they were; and they shall rule [07287] over their oppressors [05065]. 23 14 3 And it shall come to pass in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] shall give thee rest [05117] from thy sorrow [06090], and from thy fear [07267], and from the hard [07186] bondage [05656] wherein thou wast made to serve [05647], 23 14 4 That thou shalt take up [05375] this proverb [04912] against the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and say [0559], How hath the oppressor [05065] ceased [07673] ! the golden city [04062] ceased [07673] ! 23 14 5 The LORD [03068] hath broken [07665] the staff [04294] of the wicked [07563], and the sceptre [07626] of the rulers [04910]. 23 14 6 He who smote [05221] the people [05971] in wrath [05678] with a continual [01115] [05627] stroke [04347], he that ruled [07287] the nations [01471] in anger [0639], is persecuted [04783], and none [01097] hindereth [02820]. 23 14 7 The whole earth [0776] is at rest [05117], and is quiet [08252]: they break forth [06476] into singing [07440]. 23 14 8 Yea, the fir trees [01265] rejoice [08055] at thee, and the cedars [0730] of Lebanon [03844], saying, Since thou art laid down [07901], no feller [03772] is come up [05927] against us. 23 14 9 Hell [07585] from beneath is moved [07264] for thee to meet [07125] thee at thy coming [0935]: it stirreth up [05782] the dead [07496] for thee, even all the chief ones [06260] of the earth [0776]; it hath raised up [06965] from their thrones [03678] all the kings [04428] of the nations [01471]. 23 14 10 All they shall speak [06030] and say [0559] unto thee, Art thou also become weak [02470] as we? art thou become like [04911] unto us? 23 14 11 Thy pomp [01347] is brought down [03381] to the grave [07585], and the noise [01998] of thy viols [05035]: the worm [07415] is spread [03331] under thee, and the worms [08438] cover [04374] thee. 23 14 12 How art thou fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], O Lucifer [01966], son [01121] of the morning [07837] [03213] ! how art thou cut down [01438] to the ground [0776], which didst weaken [02522] the nations [01471]! 23 14 13 For thou hast said [0559] in thine heart [03824], I will ascend [05927] into heaven [08064], I will exalt [07311] my throne [03678] above [04605] the stars [03556] of God [0410]: I will sit [03427] also upon the mount [02022] of the congregation [04150], in the sides [03411] of the north [06828]: 23 14 14 I will ascend [05927] above the heights [01116] of the clouds [05645]; I will be like [01819] the most High [05945]. 23 14 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down [03381] to hell [07585], to the sides [03411] of the pit [0953]. 23 14 16 They that see [07200] thee shall narrowly look [07688] upon thee, and consider [0995] thee, saying, Is this the man [0376] that made the earth [0776] to tremble [07264], that did shake [07493] kingdoms [04467]; 23 14 17 That made [07760] the world [08398] as a wilderness [04057], and destroyed [02040] the cities [05892] thereof; that opened [06605] not the house [01004] of his prisoners [0615]? 23 14 18 All the kings [04428] of the nations [01471], even all of them, lie [07901] in glory [03519], every one [0376] in his own house [01004]. 23 14 19 But thou art cast out [07993] of thy grave [06913] like an abominable [08581] branch [05342], and as the raiment [03830] of those that are slain [02026], thrust through [02944] with a sword [02719], that go down [03381] to the stones [068] of the pit [0953]; as a carcase [06297] trodden under feet [0947]. 23 14 20 Thou shalt not be joined [03161] with them in burial [06900], because thou hast destroyed [07843] thy land [0776], and slain [02026] thy people [05971]: the seed [02233] of evildoers [07489] shall never [05769] be renowned [07121]. 23 14 21 Prepare [03559] slaughter [04293] for his children [01121] for the iniquity [05771] of their fathers [01]; that they do not [01077] rise [06965], nor possess [03423] the land [0776], nor fill [04390] the face [06440] of the world [08398] with cities [06145] [05892]. 23 14 22 For I will rise up [06965] against them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and cut off [03772] from Babylon [0894] the name [08034], and remnant [07605], and son [05209], and nephew [05220], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 14 23 I will also make [07760] it a possession [04180] for the bittern [07090], and pools [098] of water [04325]: and I will sweep [02894] it with the besom [04292] of destruction [08045], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 14 24 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sworn [07650], saying [0559], Surely as I have thought [01819], so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed [03289], so shall it stand [06965]: 23 14 25 That I will break [07665] the Assyrian [0804] in my land [0776], and upon my mountains [02022] tread him under foot [0947]: then shall his yoke [05923] depart [05493] from off them, and his burden [05448] depart [05493] from off their shoulders [07926]. 23 14 26 This is the purpose [06098] that is purposed [03289] upon the whole earth [0776]: and this is the hand [03027] that is stretched out [05186] upon all the nations [01471]. 23 14 27 For the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath purposed [03289], and who shall disannul [06565] it? and his hand [03027] is stretched out [05186], and who shall turn it back [07725]? 23 14 28 In the year [08141] that king [04428] Ahaz [0271] died [04194] was this burden [04853]. 23 14 29 Rejoice [08055] not thou, whole Palestina [06429], because the rod [07626] of him that smote [05221] thee is broken [07665]: for out of the serpent's [05175] root [08328] shall come forth [03318] a cockatrice [06848], and his fruit [06529] shall be a fiery [08314] flying [05774] serpent [08314]. 23 14 30 And the firstborn [01060] of the poor [01800] shall feed [07462], and the needy [034] shall lie down [07257] in safety [0983]: and I will kill [04191] thy root [08328] with famine [07458], and he shall slay [02026] thy remnant [07611]. 23 14 31 Howl [03213], O gate [08179]; cry [02199], O city [05892]; thou, whole Palestina [06429], art dissolved [04127]: for there shall come [0935] from the north [06828] a smoke [06227], and none shall be alone [0909] in his appointed times [04151]. 23 14 32 What shall one then answer [06030] the messengers [04397] of the nation [01471]? That the LORD [03068] hath founded [03245] Zion [06726], and the poor [06041] of his people [05971] shall trust [02620] in it. 23 15 1 The burden [04853] of Moab [04124]. Because in the night [03915] Ar [06144] of Moab [04124] is laid waste [07703], and brought to silence [01820]; because in the night [03915] Kir [07024] of Moab [04124] is laid waste [07703], and brought to silence [01820]; 23 15 2 He is gone up [05927] to Bajith [01006], and to Dibon [01769], the high places [01116], to weep [01065]: Moab [04124] shall howl [03213] over Nebo [05015], and over Medeba [04311]: on all their heads [07218] shall be baldness [07144], and every beard [02206] cut off [01438]. 23 15 3 In their streets [02351] they shall gird [02296] themselves with sackcloth [08242]: on the tops [01406] of their houses, and in their streets [07339], every one shall howl [03213], weeping [01065] abundantly [03381]. 23 15 4 And Heshbon [02809] shall cry [02199], and Elealeh [0500]: their voice [06963] shall be heard [08085] even unto Jahaz [03096]: therefore the armed soldiers [02502] of Moab [04124] shall cry out [07321]; his life [05315] shall be grievous [03415] unto him. 23 15 5 My heart [03820] shall cry out [02199] for Moab [04124]; his fugitives [01280] shall flee unto Zoar [06820], an heifer [05697] of three years old [07992]: for by the mounting up [04608] of Luhith [03872] with weeping [01065] shall they go it up [05927]; for in the way [01870] of Horonaim [02773] they shall raise up [05782] a cry [02201] of destruction [07667]. 23 15 6 For the waters [04325] of Nimrim [05249] shall be desolate [04923]: for the hay [02682] is withered away [03001], the grass [01877] faileth [03615], there is no green thing [03418]. 23 15 7 Therefore the abundance [03502] they have gotten [06213], and that which they have laid up [06486], shall they carry away [05375] to the brook [05158] of the willows [06155]. 23 15 8 For the cry [02201] is gone round about [05362] the borders [01366] of Moab [04124]; the howling [03215] thereof unto Eglaim [097], and the howling [03215] thereof unto Beerelim [0879]. 23 15 9 For the waters [04325] of Dimon [01775] shall be full [04390] of blood [01818]: for I will bring [07896] more [03254] upon Dimon [01775], lions [0738] upon him that escapeth [06413] of Moab [04124], and upon the remnant [07611] of the land [0127]. 23 16 1 Send [07971] ye the lamb [03733] to the ruler [04910] of the land [0776] from Sela [05554] to the wilderness [04057], unto the mount [02022] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]. 23 16 2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering [05074] bird [05775] cast out [07971] of the nest [07064], so the daughters [01323] of Moab [04124] shall be at the fords [04569] of Arnon [0769]. 23 16 3 Take [0935] counsel [06098], execute [06213] judgment [06415]; make [07896] thy shadow [06738] as the night [03915] in the midst [08432] of the noonday [06672]; hide [05641] the outcasts [05080]; bewray [01540] not him that wandereth [05074]. 23 16 4 Let mine outcasts [05080] dwell [01481] with thee, Moab [04124]; be [01933] thou a covert [05643] to them from the face [06440] of the spoiler [07703]: for the extortioner [04160] is at an end [0656], the spoiler [07701] ceaseth [03615], the oppressors [07429] are consumed [08552] out of the land [0776]. 23 16 5 And in mercy [02617] shall the throne [03678] be established [03559]: and he shall sit [03427] upon it in truth [0571] in the tabernacle [0168] of David [01732], judging [08199], and seeking [01875] judgment [04941], and hasting [04106] righteousness [06664]. 23 16 6 We have heard [08085] of the pride [01347] of Moab [04124]; he is very [03966] proud [01341]: even of his haughtiness [01346], and his pride [01347], and his wrath [05678]: but his lies [0907] shall not be so. 23 16 7 Therefore shall Moab [04124] howl [03213] for Moab [04124], every one shall howl [03213]: for the foundations [0808] of Kirhareseth [07025] shall ye mourn [01897]; surely they are stricken [05218]. 23 16 8 For the fields [07709] of Heshbon [02809] languish [0535], and the vine [01612] of Sibmah [07643]: the lords [01167] of the heathen [01471] have broken down [01986] the principal plants [08291] thereof, they are come [05060] even unto Jazer [03270], they wandered [08582] through the wilderness [04057]: her branches [07976] are stretched out [05203], they are gone over [05674] the sea [03220]. 23 16 9 Therefore I will bewail [01058] with the weeping [01065] of Jazer [03270] the vine [01612] of Sibmah [07643]: I will water [07301] thee with my tears [01832], O Heshbon [02809], and Elealeh [0500]: for the shouting [01959] for thy summer fruits [07019] and for thy harvest [07105] is fallen [05307]. 23 16 10 And gladness [08057] is taken away [0622], and joy [01524] out of the plentiful field [03759]; and in the vineyards [03754] there shall be no singing [07442], neither shall there be shouting [07321]: the treaders [01869] shall tread out [01869] no wine [03196] in their presses [03342]; I have made their vintage shouting [01959] to cease [07673]. 23 16 11 Wherefore my bowels [04578] shall sound [01993] like an harp [03658] for Moab [04124], and mine inward parts [07130] for Kirharesh [07025]. 23 16 12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen [07200] that Moab [04124] is weary [03811] on the high place [01116], that he shall come [0935] to his sanctuary [04720] to pray [06419]; but he shall not prevail [03201]. 23 16 13 This is the word [01697] that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] concerning Moab [04124] since that time [0227]. 23 16 14 But now the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], saying [0559], Within three [07969] years [08141], as the years [08141] of an hireling [07916], and the glory [03519] of Moab [04124] shall be contemned [07034], with all that great [07227] multitude [01995]; and the remnant [07605] shall be very [04592] small [04213] and feeble [03808] [03524]. 23 17 1 The burden [04853] of Damascus [01834]. Behold, Damascus [01834] is taken away [05493] from being a city [05892], and it shall be a ruinous [04654] heap [04596]. 23 17 2 The cities [05892] of Aroer [06177] are forsaken [05800]: they shall be for flocks [05739], which shall lie down [07257], and none shall make them afraid [02729]. 23 17 3 The fortress [04013] also shall cease [07673] from Ephraim [0669], and the kingdom [04467] from Damascus [01834], and the remnant [07605] of Syria [0758]: they shall be as the glory [03519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 17 4 And in that day [03117] it shall come to pass, that the glory [03519] of Jacob [03290] shall be made thin [01809], and the fatness [04924] of his flesh [01320] shall wax lean [07329]. 23 17 5 And it shall be as when the harvestman [07105] gathereth [0622] the corn [07054], and reapeth [07114] the ears [07641] with his arm [02220]; and it shall be as he that gathereth [03950] ears [07641] in the valley [06010] of Rephaim [07497]. 23 17 6 Yet gleaning grapes [05955] shall be left [07604] in it, as the shaking [05363] of an olive tree [02132], two [08147] or three [07969] berries [01620] in the top [07218] of the uppermost bough [0534], four [0702] or five [02568] in the outmost fruitful [06509] branches [05585] thereof, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 23 17 7 At that day [03117] shall a man [0120] look [08159] to his Maker [06213], and his eyes [05869] shall have respect [07200] to the Holy [06918] One of Israel [03478]. 23 17 8 And he shall not look [08159] to the altars [04196], the work [04639] of his hands [03027], neither shall respect [07200] that which his fingers [0676] have made [06213], either the groves [0842], or the images [02553]. 23 17 9 In that day [03117] shall his strong [04581] cities [05892] be as a forsaken [05800] bough [02793], and an uppermost branch [0534], which they left [05800] because [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and there shall be desolation [08077]. 23 17 10 Because thou hast forgotten [07911] the God [0430] of thy salvation [03468], and hast not been mindful [02142] of the rock [06697] of thy strength [04581], therefore shalt thou plant [05193] pleasant [05282] plants [05194], and shalt set [02232] it with strange [02114] slips [02156]: 23 17 11 In the day [03117] shalt thou make thy plant [05194] to grow [07735], and in the morning [01242] shalt thou make thy seed [02233] to flourish [06524]: but the harvest [07105] shall be a heap [05067] in the day [03117] of grief [02470] and of desperate [0605] sorrow [03511]. 23 17 12 Woe [01945] to the multitude [01995] of many [07227] people [05971], which make a noise [01993] like the noise [01993] of the seas [03220]; and to the rushing [07588] of nations [03816], that make a rushing like the rushing [07582] of mighty [03524] waters [04325]! 23 17 13 The nations [03816] shall rush [07582] like the rushing [07588] of many [07227] waters [04325]: but God shall rebuke [01605] them, and they shall flee [05127] far off [04801], and shall be chased [07291] as the chaff [04671] of the mountains [02022] before [06440] the wind [07307], and like a rolling thing [01534] before [06440] the whirlwind [05492]. 23 17 14 And behold at eveningtide [06256] [06153] trouble [01091]; and before the morning [01242] he is not. This is the portion [02506] of them that spoil [08154] us, and the lot [01486] of them that rob [0962] us. 23 18 1 Woe [01945] to the land [0776] shadowing [06767] with wings [03671], which is beyond [05676] the rivers [05104] of Ethiopia [03568]: 23 18 2 That sendeth [07971] ambassadors [06735] by the sea [03220], even in vessels [03627] of bulrushes [01573] upon [06440] the waters [04325], saying, Go [03212], ye swift [07031] messengers [04397], to a nation [01471] scattered [04900] and peeled [04178], to a people [05971] terrible [03372] from their beginning hitherto [01973]; a nation [01471] meted out [06978] and trodden down [04001], whose land [0776] the rivers [05104] have spoiled [0958] ! 23 18 3 All ye inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398], and dwellers [07931] on the earth [0776], see [07200] ye, when he lifteth up [05375] an ensign [05251] on the mountains [02022]; and when he bloweth [08628] a trumpet [07782], hear [08085] ye. 23 18 4 For so [03541] the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, I will take my rest [08252], and I will consider [05027] in my dwelling place [04349] like a clear [06703] heat [02527] upon herbs [0216], and like a cloud [05645] of dew [02919] in the heat [02527] of harvest [07105]. 23 18 5 For afore [06440] the harvest [07105], when the bud [06525] is perfect [08552], and the sour grape [01155] is ripening [01580] in the flower [05328], he shall both cut off [03772] the sprigs [02150] with pruning hooks [04211], and take away [05493] and cut down [08456] the branches [05189]. 23 18 6 They shall be left [05800] together [03162] unto the fowls [05861] of the mountains [02022], and to the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]: and the fowls [05861] shall summer [06972] upon them, and all the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776] shall winter [02778] upon them. 23 18 7 In that time [06256] shall the present [07862] be brought [02986] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] of a people [05971] scattered [04900] and peeled [04178], and from a people [05971] terrible [03372] from their beginning hitherto [01973]; a nation [01471] meted out [06978] and trodden under foot [04001], whose land [0776] the rivers [05104] have spoiled [0958], to the place [04725] of the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the mount [02022] Zion [06726]. 23 19 1 The burden [04853] of Egypt [04714]. Behold, the LORD [03068] rideth [07392] upon a swift [07031] cloud [05645], and shall come [0935] into Egypt [04714]: and the idols [0457] of Egypt [04714] shall be moved [05128] at his presence [06440], and the heart [03824] of Egypt [04714] shall melt [04549] in the midst [07130] of it. 23 19 2 And I will set [05526] the Egyptians [04714] against the Egyptians [04714]: and they shall fight [03898] every one [0376] against his brother [0251], and every one [0376] against his neighbour [07453]; city [05892] against city [05892], and kingdom [04467] against kingdom [04467]. 23 19 3 And the spirit [07307] of Egypt [04714] shall fail [01238] in the midst [07130] thereof; and I will destroy [01104] the counsel [06098] thereof: and they shall seek [01875] to the idols [0457], and to the charmers [0328], and to them that have familiar spirits [0178], and to the wizards [03049]. 23 19 4 And [0853] the Egyptians [04714] will I give over [05534] into the hand [03027] of a cruel [07186] lord [0113]; and a fierce [05794] king [04428] shall rule [04910] over them, saith [05002] the Lord [0113], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 19 5 And the waters [04325] shall fail [05405] from the sea [03220], and the river [05104] shall be wasted [02717] and dried up [03001]. 23 19 6 And they shall turn [02186] the rivers [05104] far away [02186]; and the brooks [02975] of defence [04693] shall be emptied [01809] and dried up [02717]: the reeds [07070] and flags [05488] shall wither [07060]. 23 19 7 The paper reeds [06169] by the brooks [02975], by the mouth [06310] of the brooks [02975], and every thing sown [04218] by the brooks [02975], shall wither [03001], be driven away [05086], and be no more. 23 19 8 The fishers [01771] also shall mourn [0578], and all they that cast [07993] angle [02443] into the brooks [02975] shall lament [056], and they that spread [06566] nets [04365] upon [06440] the waters [04325] shall languish [0535]. 23 19 9 Moreover they that work [05647] in fine [08305] flax [06593], and they that weave [0707] networks [02355], shall be confounded [0954]. 23 19 10 And they shall be broken [01792] in the purposes [08356] thereof, all that make [06213] sluices [07938] and ponds [099] for fish [05315]. 23 19 11 Surely the princes [08269] of Zoan [06814] are fools [0191], the counsel [06098] of the wise [02450] counsellors [03289] of Pharaoh [06547] is become brutish [01197]: how say [0559] ye unto Pharaoh [06547], I am the son [01121] of the wise [02450], the son [01121] of ancient [06924] kings [04428]? 23 19 12 Where [0335] are they? where [0645] are thy wise [02450] men? and let them tell [05046] thee now, and let them know [03045] what the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath purposed [03289] upon Egypt [04714]. 23 19 13 The princes [08269] of Zoan [06814] are become fools [02973], the princes [08269] of Noph [05297] are deceived [05377]; they have also seduced [08582] Egypt [04714], even they that are the stay [06438] of the tribes [07626] thereof. 23 19 14 The LORD [03068] hath mingled [04537] a perverse [05773] spirit [07307] in the midst [07130] thereof: and they have caused Egypt [04714] to err [08582] in every work [04639] thereof, as a drunken [07910] man staggereth [08582] in his vomit [06892]. 23 19 15 Neither shall there be any work [04639] for Egypt [04714], which the head [07218] or tail [02180], branch [03712] or rush [0100], may do [06213]. 23 19 16 In that day [03117] shall Egypt [04714] be like unto women [0802]: and it shall be afraid [02729] and fear [06342] because [06440] of the shaking [08573] of the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which he shaketh [05130] over it. 23 19 17 And the land [0127] of Judah [03063] shall be a terror [02283] unto Egypt [04714], every one that maketh mention [02142] thereof shall be afraid [06342] in himself, because [06440] of the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which he hath determined [03289] against it. 23 19 18 In that day [03117] shall five [02568] cities [05892] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] speak [01696] the language [08193] of Canaan [03667], and swear [07650] to the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; one [0259] shall be called [0559], The city [05892] of destruction [02041]. 23 19 19 In that day [03117] shall there be an altar [04196] to the LORD [03068] in the midst [08432] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and a pillar [04676] at [0681] the border [01366] thereof to the LORD [03068]. 23 19 20 And it shall be for a sign [0226] and for a witness [05707] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: for they shall cry [06817] unto the LORD [03068] because [06440] of the oppressors [03905], and he shall send [07971] them a saviour [03467], and a great one [07227], and he shall deliver [05337] them. 23 19 21 And the LORD [03068] shall be known [03045] to Egypt [04714], and the Egyptians [04714] shall know [03045] the LORD [03068] in that day [03117], and shall do [05647] sacrifice [02077] and oblation [04503]; yea, they shall vow [05087] a vow [05088] unto the LORD [03068], and perform [07999] it. 23 19 22 And the LORD [03068] shall smite [05062] Egypt [04714]: he shall smite [05062] and heal [07495] it: and they shall return [07725] even to the LORD [03068], and he shall be intreated [06279] of them, and shall heal [07495] them. 23 19 23 In that day [03117] shall there be a highway [04546] out of Egypt [04714] to Assyria [0804], and the Assyrian [0804] shall come [0935] into Egypt [04714], and the Egyptian [04714] into Assyria [0804], and the Egyptians [04714] shall serve [05647] with the Assyrians [0804]. 23 19 24 In that day [03117] shall Israel [03478] be the third [07992] with Egypt [04714] and with Assyria [0804], even a blessing [01293] in the midst [07130] of the land [0776]: 23 19 25 Whom the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall bless [01288], saying [0559], Blessed [01288] be Egypt [04714] my people [05971], and Assyria [0804] the work [04639] of my hands [03027], and Israel [03478] mine inheritance [05159]. 23 20 1 In the year [08141] that Tartan [08661] came [0935] unto Ashdod [0795], (when Sargon [05623] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] sent [07971] him,) and fought [03898] against Ashdod [0795], and took [03920] it; 23 20 2 At the same time [06256] spake [01696] the LORD [03068] by [03027] Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], saying [0559], Go [03212] and loose [06605] the sackcloth [08242] from off thy loins [04975], and put off [02502] thy shoe [05275] from thy foot [07272]. And he did so [06213], walking [01980] naked [06174] and barefoot [03182]. 23 20 3 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Like as my servant [05650] Isaiah [03470] hath walked [01980] naked [06174] and barefoot [03182] three [07969] years [08141] for a sign [0226] and wonder [04159] upon Egypt [04714] and upon Ethiopia [03568]; 23 20 4 So shall the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] lead away [05090] the Egyptians [04714] prisoners [07628], and the Ethiopians [03568] captives [01546], young [05288] and old [02205], naked [06174] and barefoot [03182], even with their buttocks [08357] uncovered [02834], to the shame [06172] of Egypt [04714]. 23 20 5 And they shall be afraid [02865] and ashamed [0954] of Ethiopia [03568] their expectation [04007], and of Egypt [04714] their glory [08597]. 23 20 6 And the inhabitant [03427] of this isle [0339] shall say [0559] in that day [03117], Behold, such [03541] is our expectation [04007], whither we flee [05127] for help [05833] to be delivered [05337] from [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: and how shall we escape [04422]? 23 21 1 The burden [04853] of the desert [04057] of the sea [03220]. As whirlwinds [05492] in the south [05045] pass [02498] through; so it cometh [0935] from the desert [04057], from a terrible [03372] land [0776]. 23 21 2 A grievous [07186] vision [02380] is declared [05046] unto me; the treacherous dealer [0898] dealeth treacherously [0898], and the spoiler [07703] spoileth [07703]. Go up [05927], O Elam [05867]: besiege [06696], O Media [04074]; all the sighing [0585] thereof have I made to cease [07673]. 23 21 3 Therefore are my loins [04975] filled [04390] with pain [02479]: pangs [06735] have taken hold [0270] upon me, as the pangs [06735] of a woman that travaileth [03205]: I was bowed down [05753] at the hearing [08085] of it; I was dismayed [0926] at the seeing [07200] of it. 23 21 4 My heart [03824] panted [08582], fearfulness [06427] affrighted [01204] me: the night [05399] of my pleasure [02837] hath he turned [07760] into fear [02731] unto me. 23 21 5 Prepare [06186] the table [07979], watch [06822] in the watchtower [06844], eat [0398], drink [08354]: arise [06965], ye princes [08269], and anoint [04886] the shield [04043]. 23 21 6 For thus hath the Lord [0136] said [0559] unto me, Go [03212], set [05975] a watchman [06822], let him declare [05046] what he seeth [07200]. 23 21 7 And he saw [07200] a chariot [07393] with a couple [06776] of horsemen [06571], a chariot [07393] of asses [02543], and a chariot [07393] of camels [01581]; and he hearkened [07181] diligently [07182] with much [07227] heed [07182]: 23 21 8 And he cried [07121], A lion [0738]: My lord [0136], I stand [05975] continually [08548] upon the watchtower [04707] in the daytime [03119], and I am set [05324] in my ward [04931] whole nights [03915]: 23 21 9 And, behold, here cometh [0935] a chariot [07393] of men [0376], with a couple [06776] of horsemen [06571]. And he answered [06030] and said [0559], Babylon [0894] is fallen [05307], is fallen [05307]; and all the graven images [06456] of her gods [0430] he hath broken [07665] unto the ground [0776]. 23 21 10 O my threshing [04098], and the corn [01121] of my floor [01637]: that which I have heard [08085] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], have I declared [05046] unto you. 23 21 11 The burden [04853] of Dumah [01746]. He calleth [07121] to me out of Seir [08165], Watchman [08104], what of the night [03915]? Watchman [08104], what of the night [03915]? 23 21 12 The watchman [08104] said [0559], The morning [01242] cometh [0857], and also the night [03915]: if ye will enquire [01158], enquire [01158] ye: return [07725], come [0857]. 23 21 13 The burden [04853] upon Arabia [06152]. In the forest [03293] in Arabia [06152] shall ye lodge [03885], O ye travelling companies [0736] of Dedanim [01720]. 23 21 14 The inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] of Tema [08485] brought [0857] water [04325] to him [07125] that was thirsty [06771], they prevented [06923] with their bread [03899] him that fled [05074]. 23 21 15 For they fled [05074] from [06440] the swords [02719], from [06440] the drawn [05203] sword [02719], and from [06440] the bent [01869] bow [07198], and from [06440] the grievousness [03514] of war [04421]. 23 21 16 For thus hath the Lord [0136] said [0559] unto me, Within a year [08141], according to the years [08141] of an hireling [07916], and all the glory [03519] of Kedar [06938] shall fail [03615]: 23 21 17 And the residue [07605] of the number [04557] of archers [07198], the mighty men [01368] of the children [01121] of Kedar [06938], shall be diminished [04591]: for the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 22 1 The burden [04853] of the valley [01516] of vision [02384]. What aileth thee now [0645], that thou art wholly gone up [05927] to the housetops [01406]? 23 22 2 Thou that art full [04392] of stirs [08663], a tumultuous [01993] city [05892], a joyous [05947] city [07151]: thy slain [02491] men are not slain [02491] with the sword [02719], nor dead [04191] in battle [04421]. 23 22 3 All thy rulers [07101] are fled [05074] together [03162], they are bound [0631] by the archers [07198]: all that are found [04672] in thee are bound [0631] together [03162], which have fled [01272] from far [07350]. 23 22 4 Therefore said [0559] I, Look away [08159] from me; I will weep [01065] bitterly [04843], labour [0213] not to comfort [05162] me, because of the spoiling [07701] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]. 23 22 5 For it is a day [03117] of trouble [04103], and of treading down [04001], and of perplexity [03998] by the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] in the valley [01516] of vision [02384], breaking [06979] down the walls [07023], and of crying [07771] to the mountains [02022]. 23 22 6 And Elam [05867] bare [05375] the quiver [0827] with chariots [07393] of men [0120] and horsemen [06571], and Kir [07024] uncovered [06168] the shield [04043]. 23 22 7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest [04005] valleys [06010] shall be full [04390] of chariots [07393], and the horsemen [06571] shall set [07896] themselves in array [07896] at the gate [08179]. 23 22 8 And he discovered [01540] the covering [04539] of Judah [03063], and thou didst look [05027] in that day [03117] to the armour [05402] of the house [01004] of the forest [03293]. 23 22 9 Ye have seen [07200] also the breaches [01233] of the city [05892] of David [01732], that they are many [07231]: and ye gathered together [06908] the waters [04325] of the lower [08481] pool [01295]. 23 22 10 And ye have numbered [05608] the houses [01004] of Jerusalem [03389], and the houses [01004] have ye broken down [05422] to fortify [01219] the wall [02346]. 23 22 11 Ye made [06213] also a ditch [04724] between the two walls [02346] for the water [04325] of the old [03465] pool [01295]: but ye have not looked [05027] unto the maker [06213] thereof, neither had respect [07200] unto him that fashioned [03335] it long ago [07350]. 23 22 12 And in that day [03117] did the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] call [07121] to weeping [01065], and to mourning [04553], and to baldness [07144], and to girding [02296] with sackcloth [08242]: 23 22 13 And behold joy [08342] and gladness [08057], slaying [02026] oxen [01241], and killing [07819] sheep [06629], eating [0398] flesh [01320], and drinking [08354] wine [03196]: let us eat [0398] and drink [08354]; for to morrow [04279] we shall die [04191]. 23 22 14 And it was revealed [01540] in mine ears [0241] by the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Surely this iniquity [05771] shall not be purged [03722] from you till ye die [04191], saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635]. 23 22 15 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], Go [03212], get [0935] thee unto this treasurer [05532], even unto Shebna [07644], which is over the house [01004], and say, 23 22 16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out [02672] a sepulchre [06913] here [06311], as he that heweth him out [02672] a sepulchre [06913] on high [04791], and that graveth [02710] an habitation [04908] for himself in a rock [05553]? 23 22 17 Behold, the LORD [03068] will carry thee away [02904] with a mighty [01397] captivity [02925], and will surely [05844] cover [05844] thee. 23 22 18 He will surely [06801] violently turn [06801] and toss [06802] thee like a ball [01754] into a large [07342] [03027] country [0776]: there shalt thou die [04191], and there the chariots [04818] of thy glory [03519] shall be the shame [07036] of thy lord's [0113] house [01004]. 23 22 19 And I will drive [01920] thee from thy station [04673], and from thy state [04612] shall he pull thee down [02040]. 23 22 20 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that I will call [07121] my servant [05650] Eliakim [0471] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518]: 23 22 21 And I will clothe [03847] him with thy robe [03801], and strengthen [02388] him with thy girdle [073], and I will commit [05414] thy government [04475] into his hand [03027]: and he shall be a father [01] to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063]. 23 22 22 And the key [04668] of the house [01004] of David [01732] will I lay [05414] upon his shoulder [07926]; so he shall open [06605], and none shall shut [05462]; and he shall shut [05462], and none shall open [06605]. 23 22 23 And I will fasten [08628] him as a nail [03489] in a sure [0539] place [04725]; and he shall be for a glorious [03519] throne [03678] to his father's [01] house [01004]. 23 22 24 And they shall hang [08518] upon him all the glory [03519] of his father's [01] house [01004], the offspring [06631] and the issue [06849], all vessels [03627] of small [06996] quantity, from the vessels [03627] of cups [0101], even to all the vessels [03627] of flagons [05035]. 23 22 25 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], shall the nail [03489] that is fastened [08628] in the sure [0539] place [04725] be removed [04185], and be cut down [01438], and fall [05307]; and the burden [04853] that was upon it shall be cut off [03772]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 23 1 The burden [04853] of Tyre [06865]. Howl [03213], ye ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659]; for it is laid waste [07703], so that there is no house [01004], no entering in [0935]: from the land [0776] of Chittim [03794] it is revealed [01540] to them. 23 23 2 Be still [01826], ye inhabitants [03427] of the isle [0339]; thou whom the merchants [05503] of Zidon [06721], that pass over [05674] the sea [03220], have replenished [04390]. 23 23 3 And by great [07227] waters [04325] the seed [02233] of Sihor [07883], the harvest [07105] of the river [02975], is her revenue [08393]; and she is a mart [05505] of nations [01471]. 23 23 4 Be thou ashamed [0954], O Zidon [06721]: for the sea [03220] hath spoken [0559], even the strength [04581] of the sea [03220], saying [0559], I travail [02342] not, nor bring forth children [03205], neither do I nourish up [01431] young men [0970], nor bring up [07311] virgins [01330]. 23 23 5 As at the report [08088] concerning Egypt [04714], so shall they be sorely pained [02342] at the report [08088] of Tyre [06865]. 23 23 6 Pass ye over [05674] to Tarshish [08659]; howl [03213], ye inhabitants [03427] of the isle [0339]. 23 23 7 Is this your joyous [05947] city, whose antiquity [06927] is of ancient [06924] days [03117]? her own feet [07272] shall carry [02986] her afar off [07350] to sojourn [01481]. 23 23 8 Who hath taken this counsel [03289] against Tyre [06865], the crowning [05849] city, whose merchants [05503] are princes [08269], whose traffickers [03667] are the honourable [03513] of the earth [0776]? 23 23 9 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath purposed [03289] it, to stain [02490] the pride [01347] of all glory [06643], and to bring into contempt [07043] all the honourable [03513] of the earth [0776]. 23 23 10 Pass [05674] through thy land [0776] as a river [02975], O daughter [01323] of Tarshish [08659]: there is no more strength [04206]. 23 23 11 He stretched out [05186] his hand [03027] over the sea [03220], he shook [07264] the kingdoms [04467]: the LORD [03068] hath given a commandment [06680] against the merchant [03667] city, to destroy [08045] the strong [04581] holds [04581] thereof. 23 23 12 And he said [0559], Thou shalt no more [03254] rejoice [05937], O thou oppressed [06231] virgin [01330], daughter [01323] of Zidon [06721]: arise [06965], pass over [05674] to Chittim [03794]; there also shalt thou have no rest [05117]. 23 23 13 Behold the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]; this people [05971] was not, till the Assyrian [0804] founded [03245] it for them that dwell in the wilderness [06728]: they set up [06965] the towers [0971] thereof, they raised up [06209] the palaces [0759] thereof; and he brought [07760] it to ruin [04654]. 23 23 14 Howl [03213], ye ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659]: for your strength [04581] is laid waste [07703]. 23 23 15 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that Tyre [06865] shall be forgotten [07911] seventy [07657] years [08141], according to the days [03117] of one [0259] king [04428]: after the end [07093] of seventy [07657] years [08141] shall Tyre [06865] sing [07892] as an harlot [02181]. 23 23 16 Take [03947] an harp [03658], go about [05437] the city [05892], thou harlot [02181] that hast been forgotten [07911]; make sweet [03190] melody [05059], sing many [07235] songs [07892], that thou mayest be remembered [02142]. 23 23 17 And it shall come to pass after the end [07093] of seventy [07657] years [08141], that the LORD [03068] will visit [06485] Tyre [06865], and she shall turn [07725] to her hire [0868], and shall commit fornication [02181] with all the kingdoms [04467] of the world [0776] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 23 23 18 And her merchandise [05504] and her hire [0868] shall be holiness [06944] to the LORD [03068]: it shall not be treasured [0686] nor laid up [02630]; for her merchandise [05504] shall be for them that dwell [03427] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to eat [0398] sufficiently [07654], and for durable [06266] clothing [04374]. 23 24 1 Behold, the LORD [03068] maketh the earth [0776] empty [01238], and maketh it waste [01110], and turneth [05753] it upside down [06440], and scattereth abroad [06327] the inhabitants [03427] thereof. 23 24 2 And it shall be, as with the people [05971], so with the priest [03548]; as with the servant [05650], so with his master [0113]; as with the maid [08198], so with her mistress [01404]; as with the buyer [07069], so with the seller [04376]; as with the lender [03867], so with the borrower [03867]; as with the taker of usury [05383], so [0834] with the giver of usury [05378] to him. 23 24 3 The land [0776] shall be utterly [01238] emptied [01238], and utterly [0962] spoiled [0962]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] this word [01697]. 23 24 4 The earth [0776] mourneth [056] and fadeth away [05034], the world [08398] languisheth [0535] and fadeth away [05034], the haughty [04791] people [05971] of the earth [0776] do languish [0535]. 23 24 5 The earth [0776] also is defiled [02610] under the inhabitants [03427] thereof; because they have transgressed [05674] the laws [08451], changed [02498] the ordinance [02706], broken [06565] the everlasting [05769] covenant [01285]. 23 24 6 Therefore hath the curse [0423] devoured [0398] the earth [0776], and they that dwell [03427] therein are desolate [0816]: therefore the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776] are burned [02787], and few [04213] men [0582] left [07604]. 23 24 7 The new wine [08492] mourneth [056], the vine [01612] languisheth [0535], all the merryhearted [08056] [03820] do sigh [0584]. 23 24 8 The mirth [04885] of tabrets [08596] ceaseth [07673], the noise [07588] of them that rejoice [05947] endeth [02308], the joy [04885] of the harp [03658] ceaseth [07673]. 23 24 9 They shall not drink [08354] wine [03196] with a song [07892]; strong drink [07941] shall be bitter [04843] to them that drink [08354] it. 23 24 10 The city [07151] of confusion [08414] is broken down [07665]: every house [01004] is shut up [05462], that no man may come in [0935]. 23 24 11 There is a crying [06682] for wine [03196] in the streets [02351]; all joy [08057] is darkened [06150], the mirth [04885] of the land [0776] is gone [01540]. 23 24 12 In the city [05892] is left [07604] desolation [08047], and the gate [08179] is smitten [03807] with destruction [07591]. 23 24 13 When thus it shall be in the midst [07130] of the land [0776] among [08432] the people [05971], there shall be as the shaking [05363] of an olive tree [02132], and as the gleaning grapes [05955] when the vintage [01210] is done [03615]. 23 24 14 They shall lift up [05375] their voice [06963], they shall sing [07442] for the majesty [01347] of the LORD [03068], they shall cry aloud [06670] from the sea [03220]. 23 24 15 Wherefore glorify [03513] ye the LORD [03068] in the fires [0217], even the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in the isles [0339] of the sea [03220]. 23 24 16 From the uttermost part [03671] of the earth [0776] have we heard [08085] songs [02158], even glory [06643] to the righteous [06662]. But I said [0559], My leanness [07334], my leanness [07334], woe [0188] unto me! the treacherous dealers [0898] have dealt treacherously [0898]; yea, the treacherous dealers [0898] have dealt very [0899] treacherously [0898]. 23 24 17 Fear [06343], and the pit [06354], and the snare [06341], are upon thee, O inhabitant [03427] of the earth [0776]. 23 24 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth [05127] from the noise [06963] of the fear [06343] shall fall [05307] into the pit [06354]; and he that cometh up [05927] out of the midst [08432] of the pit [06354] shall be taken [03920] in the snare [06341]: for the windows [0699] from on high [04791] are open [06605], and the foundations [04146] of the earth [0776] do shake [07493]. 23 24 19 The earth [0776] is utterly [07489] broken down [07489], the earth [0776] is clean [06565] dissolved [06565], the earth [0776] is moved [04131] exceedingly [04131]. 23 24 20 The earth [0776] shall reel [05128] to and fro [05128] like a drunkard [07910], and shall be removed [05110] like a cottage [04412]; and the transgression [06588] thereof shall be heavy [03513] upon it; and it shall fall [05307], and not rise [06965] again [03254]. 23 24 21 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the LORD [03068] shall punish [06485] the host [06635] of the high ones [04791] that are on high [04791], and the kings [04428] of the earth [0127] upon the earth [0127]. 23 24 22 And they shall be gathered together [0622], as prisoners [0616] are gathered [0626] in the pit [0953], and shall be shut up [05462] in the prison [04525], and after many [07230] days [03117] shall they be visited [06485]. 23 24 23 Then the moon [03842] shall be confounded [02659], and the sun [02535] ashamed [0954], when the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall reign [04427] in mount [02022] Zion [06726], and in Jerusalem [03389], and before his ancients [02205] gloriously [03519]. 23 25 1 O LORD [03068], thou art my God [0430]; I will exalt [07311] thee, I will praise [03034] thy name [08034]; for thou hast done [06213] wonderful [06382] things; thy counsels [06098] of old [07350] are faithfulness [0530] and truth [0544]. 23 25 2 For thou hast made [07760] of a city [05892] an heap [01530]; of a defenced [01219] city [07151] a ruin [04654]: a palace [0759] of strangers [02114] to be no city [05892]; it shall never [05769] be built [01129]. 23 25 3 Therefore shall the strong [05794] people [05971] glorify [03513] thee, the city [07151] of the terrible [06184] nations [01471] shall fear [03372] thee. 23 25 4 For thou hast been a strength [04581] to the poor [01800], a strength [04581] to the needy [034] in his distress [06862], a refuge [04268] from the storm [02230], a shadow [06738] from the heat [02721], when the blast [07307] of the terrible ones [06184] is as a storm [02230] against the wall [07023]. 23 25 5 Thou shalt bring down [03665] the noise [07588] of strangers [02114], as the heat [02721] in a dry place [06724]; even the heat [02721] with the shadow [06738] of a cloud [05645]: the branch [02159] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be brought low [06030]. 23 25 6 And in this mountain [02022] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] make [06213] unto all people [05971] a feast [04960] of fat things [08081], a feast [04960] of wines on the lees [08105], of fat things [08081] full of marrow [04229], of wines on the lees [08105] well refined [02212]. 23 25 7 And he will destroy [01104] in this mountain [02022] the face [06440] of the covering [03875] cast over [03874] all people [05971], and the vail [04541] that is spread [05259] over all nations [01471]. 23 25 8 He will swallow up [01104] death [04194] in victory [05331]; and the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will wipe away [04229] tears [01832] from off all faces [06440]; and the rebuke [02781] of his people [05971] shall he take away [05493] from off all the earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 25 9 And it shall be said [0559] in that day [03117], Lo, this is our God [0430]; we have waited [06960] for him, and he will save [03467] us: this is the LORD [03068]; we have waited [06960] for him, we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in his salvation [03444]. 23 25 10 For in this mountain [02022] shall the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] rest [05117], and Moab [04124] shall be trodden down [01758] under him, even as straw [04963] is trodden down [01758] for the dunghill [01119] [04087] [04325]. 23 25 11 And he shall spread forth [06566] his hands [03027] in the midst [07130] of them, as he that swimmeth [07811] spreadeth forth [06566] his hands to swim [07811]: and he shall bring down [08213] their pride [01346] together with the spoils [0698] of their hands [03027]. 23 25 12 And the fortress [04013] of the high fort [04869] of thy walls [02346] shall he bring down [07817], lay low [08213], and bring [05060] to the ground [0776], even to the dust [06083]. 23 26 1 In that day [03117] shall this song [07892] be sung [07891] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063]; We have a strong [05797] city [05892]; salvation [03444] will God appoint [07896] for walls [02346] and bulwarks [02426]. 23 26 2 Open [06605] ye the gates [08179], that the righteous [06662] nation [01471] which keepeth [08104] the truth [0529] may enter in [0935]. 23 26 3 Thou wilt keep [05341] him in perfect [07965] peace [07965], whose mind [03336] is stayed [05564] on thee: because he trusteth [0982] in thee. 23 26 4 Trust [0982] ye in the LORD [03068] for ever [05703]: for in the LORD [03050] JEHOVAH [03068] is everlasting [05769] strength [06697]: 23 26 5 For he bringeth down [07817] them that dwell [03427] on high [04791]; the lofty [07682] city [07151], he layeth it low [08213]; he layeth it low [08213], even to the ground [0776]; he bringeth [05060] it even to the dust [06083]. 23 26 6 The foot [07272] shall tread it down [07429], even the feet [07272] of the poor [06041], and the steps [06471] of the needy [01800]. 23 26 7 The way [0734] of the just [06662] is uprightness [04339]: thou, most upright [03477], dost weigh [06424] the path [04570] of the just [06662]. 23 26 8 Yea, in the way [0734] of thy judgments [04941], O LORD [03068], have we waited [06960] for thee; the desire [08378] of our soul [05315] is to thy name [08034], and to the remembrance [02143] of thee. 23 26 9 With my soul [05315] have I desired [0183] thee in the night [03915]; yea, with my spirit [07307] within [07130] me will I seek thee early [07836]: for when thy judgments [04941] are in the earth [0776], the inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398] will learn [03925] righteousness [06664]. 23 26 10 Let favour be shewed [02603] to the wicked [07563], yet will he not [01077] learn [03925] righteousness [06664]: in the land [0776] of uprightness [05229] will he deal unjustly [05765], and will not [01077] behold [07200] the majesty [01348] of the LORD [03068]. 23 26 11 LORD [03068], when thy hand [03027] is lifted up [07311], they will not see [02372]: but they shall see [02372], and be ashamed [0954] for their envy [07068] at the people [05971]; yea, the fire [0784] of thine enemies [06862] shall devour [0398] them. 23 26 12 LORD [03068], thou wilt ordain [08239] peace [07965] for us: for thou also hast wrought [06466] all our works [04639] in us. 23 26 13 O LORD [03068] our God [0430], other lords [0113] beside [02108] thee have had dominion [01166] over us: but by thee only will we make mention [02142] of thy name [08034]. 23 26 14 They are dead [04191], they shall not live [02421]; they are deceased [07496], they shall not rise [06965]: therefore hast thou visited [06485] and destroyed [08045] them, and made all their memory [02143] to perish [06]. 23 26 15 Thou hast increased [03254] the nation [01471], O LORD [03068], thou hast increased [03254] the nation [01471]: thou art glorified [03513]: thou hadst removed it far [07368] unto all the ends [07099] of the earth [0776]. 23 26 16 LORD [03068], in trouble [06862] have they visited [06485] thee, they poured out [06694] a prayer [03908] when thy chastening [04148] was upon them. 23 26 17 Like [03644] as a woman with child [02030], that draweth near [07126] the time of her delivery [03205], is in pain [02342], and crieth out [02199] in her pangs [02256]; so have we been in thy sight [06440], O LORD [03068]. 23 26 18 We have been with child [02029], we have been in pain [02342], we have as it were [03644] brought forth [03205] wind [07307]; we have not wrought [06213] any deliverance [03444] in the earth [0776]; neither [01077] have the inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398] fallen [05307]. 23 26 19 Thy dead [04191] men shall live [02421], together with my dead body [05038] shall they arise [06965]. Awake [06974] and sing [07442], ye that dwell [07931] in dust [06083]: for thy dew [02919] is as the dew [02919] of herbs [0219], and the earth [0776] shall cast out [05307] the dead [07496]. 23 26 20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674]. 23 26 21 For, behold, the LORD [03068] cometh out [03318] of his place [04725] to punish [06485] the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776] for their iniquity [05771]: the earth [0776] also shall disclose [01540] her blood [01818], and shall no more cover [03680] her slain [02026]. 23 27 1 In that day [03117] the LORD [03068] with his sore [07186] and great [01419] and strong [02389] sword [02719] shall punish [06485] leviathan [03882] the piercing [01281] serpent [05175], even leviathan [03882] that crooked [06129] serpent [05175]; and he shall slay [02026] the dragon [08577] that is in the sea [03220]. 23 27 2 In that day [03117] sing [06031] ye unto her, A vineyard [03754] of red wine [02561] [02531]. 23 27 3 I the LORD [03068] do keep [05341] it; I will water [08248] it every moment [07281]: lest any hurt [06485] it, I will keep [05341] it night [03915] and day [03117]. 23 27 4 Fury [02534] is not in me: who would set [05414] the briers [08068] and thorns [07898] against me in battle [04421]? I would go [06585] through them, I would burn [06702] them together [03162]. 23 27 5 Or let him take hold [02388] of my strength [04581], that he may make [06213] peace [07965] with me; and he shall make [06213] peace [07965] with me. 23 27 6 He shall cause them that come [0935] of Jacob [03290] to take root [08327]: Israel [03478] shall blossom [06692] and bud [06524], and fill [04390] the face [06440] of the world [08398] with fruit [08570]. 23 27 7 Hath he smitten [05221] him, as he smote [04347] those that smote [05221] him? or is he slain [02026] according to the slaughter [02027] of them that are slain [02026] by him? 23 27 8 In measure [05432], when it shooteth forth [07971], thou wilt debate [07378] with it: he stayeth [01898] his rough [07186] wind [07307] in the day [03117] of the east wind [06921]. 23 27 9 By this [02063] therefore shall the iniquity [05771] of Jacob [03290] be purged [03722]; and this is all the fruit [06529] to take away [05493] his sin [02403]; when he maketh [07760] all the stones [068] of the altar [04196] as chalkstones [01615] that are beaten in sunder [05310], the groves [0842] and images [02553] shall not stand up [06965]. 23 27 10 Yet the defenced [01219] city [05892] shall be desolate [0910], and the habitation [05116] forsaken [07971], and left [05800] like a wilderness [04057]: there shall the calf [05695] feed [07462], and there shall he lie down [07257], and consume [03615] the branches [05585] thereof. 23 27 11 When the boughs [07105] thereof are withered [03001], they shall be broken off [07665]: the women [0802] come [0935], and set them on fire [0215]: for it is a people [05971] of no understanding [0998]: therefore he that made [06213] them will not have mercy [07355] on them, and he that formed [03335] them will shew them no favour [02603]. 23 27 12 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the LORD [03068] shall beat off [02251] from the channel [07641] of the river [05104] unto the stream [05158] of Egypt [04714], and ye shall be gathered [03950] one [0259] by one [0259], O ye children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 23 27 13 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the great [01419] trumpet [07782] shall be blown [08628], and they shall come [0935] which were ready to perish [06] in the land [0776] of Assyria [0804], and the outcasts [05080] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and shall worship [07812] the LORD [03068] in the holy [06944] mount [02022] at Jerusalem [03389]. 23 28 1 Woe [01945] to the crown [05850] of pride [01348], to the drunkards [07910] of Ephraim [0669], whose glorious [06643] beauty [08597] is a fading [05034] flower [06731], which are on the head [07218] of the fat [08081] valleys [01516] of them that are overcome [01986] with wine [03196]! 23 28 2 Behold, the Lord [0136] hath a mighty [02389] and strong one [0533], which as a tempest [02230] of hail [01259] and a destroying [06986] storm [08178], as a flood [02230] of mighty [03524] waters [04325] overflowing [07857], shall cast down [03240] to the earth [0776] with the hand [03027]. 23 28 3 The crown [05850] of pride [01348], the drunkards [07910] of Ephraim [0669], shall be trodden [07429] under feet [07272]: 23 28 4 And the glorious [06643] beauty [08597], which is on the head [07218] of the fat [08081] valley [01516], shall be a fading [05034] flower [06733], and as the hasty fruit [01061] before the summer [07019]; which when he that looketh [07200] upon it seeth [07200], while it is yet in his hand [03709] he eateth it up [01104]. 23 28 5 In that day [03117] shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] be for a crown [05850] of glory [06643], and for a diadem [06843] of beauty [08597], unto the residue [07605] of his people [05971], 23 28 6 And for a spirit [07307] of judgment [04941] to him that sitteth [03427] in judgment [04941], and for strength [01369] to them that turn [07725] the battle [04421] to the gate [08179]. 23 28 7 But they [0428] also have erred [07686] through wine [03196], and through strong drink [07941] are out of the way [08582]; the priest [03548] and the prophet [05030] have erred [07686] through strong drink [07941], they are swallowed up [01104] of [04480] wine [03196], they are out of the way [08582] through strong drink [07941]; they err [07686] in vision [07203], they stumble [06328] in judgment [06417]. 23 28 8 For all tables [07979] are full [04390] of vomit [06892] and filthiness [06675], so that there is no place [04725] clean. 23 28 9 Whom shall he teach [03384] knowledge [01844]? and whom shall he make to understand [0995] doctrine [08052]? them that are weaned [01580] from the milk [02461], and drawn [06267] from the breasts [07699]. 23 28 10 For precept [06673] must be upon precept [06673], precept [06673] upon precept [06673]; line [06957] upon line [06957], line [06957] upon line [06957]; here a little [02191], and there a little [02191]: 23 28 11 For with stammering [03934] lips [08193] and another [0312] tongue [03956] will he speak [01696] to this people [05971]. 23 28 12 To whom he said [0559], This is the rest [04496] wherewith ye may cause the weary [05889] to rest [05117]; and this is the refreshing [04774]: yet they would [014] not hear [08085]. 23 28 13 But the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] was unto them precept [06673] upon precept [06673], precept [06673] upon precept [06673]; line [06957] upon line [06957], line [06957] upon line [06957]; here a little [02191], and there a little [02191]; that they might go [03212], and fall [03782] backward [0268], and be broken [07665], and snared [03369], and taken [03920]. 23 28 14 Wherefore hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye scornful [03944] men [0582], that rule [04910] this people [05971] which is in Jerusalem [03389]. 23 28 15 Because ye have said [0559], We have made [03772] a covenant [01285] with death [04194], and with hell [07585] are we [06213] at agreement [02374]; when the overflowing [07857] scourge [07752] [07885] shall pass through [05674] [05674], it shall not come [0935] unto us: for we have made [07760] lies [03577] our refuge [04268], and under falsehood [08267] have we hid [05641] ourselves: 23 28 16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Behold, I lay [03245] in Zion [06726] for a foundation a stone [068], a tried [0976] stone [068], a precious [03368] corner [06438] stone, a sure [03245] foundation [04143]: he that believeth [0539] shall not make haste [02363]. 23 28 17 Judgment [04941] also will I lay [07760] to the line [06957], and righteousness [06666] to the plummet [04949]: and the hail [01259] shall sweep away [03261] the refuge [04268] of lies [03577], and the waters [04325] shall overflow [07857] the hiding place [05643]. 23 28 18 And your covenant [01285] with death [04194] shall be disannulled [03722], and your agreement [02380] with hell [07585] shall not stand [06965]; when the overflowing [07857] scourge [07752] shall pass through [05674], then ye shall be trodden down [04823] by it. 23 28 19 From the time [01767] that it goeth forth [05674] it shall take [03947] you: for morning [01242] by morning [01242] shall it pass over [05674], by day [03117] and by night [03915]: and it shall be a vexation [02113] only to understand [0995] the report [08052]. 23 28 20 For the bed [04702] is shorter [07114] than that a man can stretch [08311] himself on it: and the covering [04541] narrower [06887] than that he can wrap [03664] himself in it. 23 28 21 For the LORD [03068] shall rise up [06965] as in mount [02022] Perazim [06559], he shall be wroth [07264] as in the valley [06010] of Gibeon [01391], that he may do [06213] his work [04639], his strange [02114] work [04639]; and bring to pass [05647] his act [05656], his strange [05237] act [05656]. 23 28 22 Now therefore be ye not mockers [03887], lest your bands [04147] be made strong [02388]: for I have heard [08085] from the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] a consumption [03617], even determined [02782] upon the whole earth [0776]. 23 28 23 Give ye ear [0238], and hear [08085] my voice [06963]; hearken [07181], and hear [08085] my speech [0565]. 23 28 24 Doth the plowman [02790] plow [02790] all day [03117] to sow [02232]? doth he open [06605] and break the clods [07702] of his ground [0127]? 23 28 25 When he hath made plain [07737] the face [06440] thereof, doth he not cast abroad [06327] the fitches [07100], and scatter [02236] the cummin [03646], and cast [07760] in the principal [07795] wheat [02406] and the appointed [05567] barley [08184] and the rie [03698] in their place [01367]? 23 28 26 For his God [0430] doth instruct [03256] him to discretion [04941], and doth teach [03384] him. 23 28 27 For the fitches [07100] are not threshed [01758] with a threshing instrument [02742], neither is a cart [05699] wheel [0212] turned about [05437] upon the cummin [03646]; but the fitches [07100] are beaten out [02251] with a staff [04294], and the cummin [03646] with a rod [07626]. 23 28 28 Bread [03899] corn is bruised [01854]; because he will not ever [05331] be threshing [0156] [01758] it, nor break [02000] it with the wheel [01536] of his cart [05699], nor bruise [01854] it with his horsemen [06571]. 23 28 29 This also cometh forth [03318] from the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], which is wonderful [06381] in counsel [06098], and excellent [01431] in working [08454]. 23 29 1 Woe [01945] to Ariel [0740], to Ariel [0740], the city [07151] where David [01732] dwelt [02583] ! add [05595] ye year [08141] to year [08141]; let them kill [05362] sacrifices [02282]. 23 29 2 Yet I will distress [06693] Ariel [0740], and there shall be heaviness [08386] and sorrow [0592]: and it shall be unto me as Ariel [0740]. 23 29 3 And I will camp [02583] against thee round about [01754], and will lay siege [06696] against thee with a mount [04674], and I will raise [06965] forts [04694] against thee. 23 29 4 And thou shalt be brought down [08213], and shalt speak [01696] out of the ground [0776], and thy speech [0565] shall be low [07817] out of the dust [06083], and thy voice [06963] shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit [0178], out of the ground [0776], and thy speech [0565] shall whisper [06850] out of the dust [06083]. 23 29 5 Moreover the multitude [01995] of thy strangers [02114] shall be like small [01851] dust [080], and the multitude [01995] of the terrible ones [06184] shall be as chaff [04671] that passeth away [05674]: yea, it shall be at an instant [06621] suddenly [06597]. 23 29 6 Thou shalt be visited [06485] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] with thunder [07482], and with earthquake [07494], and great [01419] noise [06963], with storm [05492] and tempest [05591], and the flame [03851] of devouring [0398] fire [0784]. 23 29 7 And the multitude [01995] of all the nations [01471] that fight [06633] against Ariel [0740], even all that fight [06638] against her and her munition [04685], and that distress [06693] her, shall be as a dream [02472] of a night [03915] vision [02377]. 23 29 8 It shall even be as when an hungry [07457] man dreameth [02492], and, behold, he eateth [0398]; but he awaketh [06974], and his soul [05315] is empty [07386]: or as when [0834] a thirsty man [06771] dreameth [02492], and, behold, he drinketh [08354]; but he awaketh [06974], and, behold, he is faint [05889], and his soul [05315] hath appetite [08264]: so shall the multitude [01995] of all the nations [01471] be, that fight [06633] against mount [02022] Zion [06726]. 23 29 9 Stay [04102] yourselves, and wonder [08539]; cry ye out [08173], and cry [08173]: they are drunken [07937], but not with wine [03196]; they stagger [05128], but not with strong drink [07941]. 23 29 10 For the LORD [03068] hath poured out [05258] upon you the spirit [07307] of deep sleep [08639], and hath closed [06105] your eyes [05869]: the prophets [05030] and your rulers [07218], the seers [02374] hath he covered [03680]. 23 29 11 And the vision [02380] of all is become unto you as the words [01697] of a book [05612] that is sealed [02856], which men deliver [05414] to one that is learned [03045], saying [0559], Read [07121] this, I pray thee: and he saith [0559], I cannot [03201]; for it is sealed [02856]: 23 29 12 And the book [05612] is delivered [05414] to him that is not learned [03045] [05612], saying [0559], Read [07121] this, I pray thee: and he saith [0559], I am not learned [03045]. 23 29 13 Wherefore the Lord [0136] said [0559], Forasmuch [03282] as this people [05971] draw near [05066] me with their mouth [06310], and with their lips [08193] do honour [03513] me, but have removed [07368] their heart [03820] far [07368] from me, and their fear [03374] toward me is taught [03925] by the precept [04687] of men [0582]: 23 29 14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed [03254] to do a marvellous work [06381] among this people [05971], even a marvellous work [06381] and a wonder [06382]: for the wisdom [02451] of their wise [02450] men shall perish [06], and the understanding [0998] of their prudent [0995] men shall be hid [05641]. 23 29 15 Woe [01945] unto them that seek deep [06009] to hide [05641] their counsel [06098] from the LORD [03068], and their works [04639] are in the dark [04285], and they say [0559], Who seeth [07200] us? and who knoweth [03045] us? 23 29 16 Surely your turning of things upside down [02017] shall be esteemed [02803] as the potter's [03335] clay [02563]: for shall the work [04639] say [0559] of him that made [06213] it, He made [06213] me not? or shall the thing framed [03336] say [0559] of him that framed [03335] it, He had no understanding [0995]? 23 29 17 Is it not yet a very [04213] little while [04592], and Lebanon [03844] shall be turned [07725] into a fruitful field [03759], and the fruitful field [03759] shall be esteemed [02803] as a forest [03293]? 23 29 18 And in that day [03117] shall the deaf [02795] hear [08085] the words [01697] of the book [05612], and the eyes [05869] of the blind [05787] shall see [07200] out of obscurity [0652], and out of darkness [02822]. 23 29 19 The meek [06035] also shall increase [03254] their joy [08057] in the LORD [03068], and the poor [034] among men [0120] shall rejoice [01523] in the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 29 20 For the terrible one [06184] is brought to nought [0656], and the scorner [03887] is consumed [03615], and all that watch [08245] for iniquity [0205] are cut off [03772]: 23 29 21 That make a man [0120] an offender [02398] for a word [01697], and lay a snare [06983] for him that reproveth [03198] in the gate [08179], and turn aside [05186] the just [06662] for a thing of nought [08414]. 23 29 22 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], who redeemed [06299] Abraham [085], concerning the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], Jacob [03290] shall not now be ashamed [0954], neither shall his face [06440] now wax pale [02357]. 23 29 23 But when he seeth [07200] his children [03206], the work [04639] of mine hands [03027], in the midst [07130] of him, they shall sanctify [06942] my name [08034], and sanctify [06942] the Holy One [06918] of Jacob [03290], and shall fear [06206] the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 23 29 24 They also that erred [08582] in spirit [07307] shall come [03045] to understanding [0998], and they that murmured [07279] shall learn [03925] doctrine [03948]. 23 30 1 Woe [01945] to the rebellious [05637] children [01121], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that take [06213] counsel [06098], but not of me; and that cover [05258] with a covering [04541], but not of my spirit [07307], that they may add [05595] sin [02403] to sin [02403]: 23 30 2 That walk [01980] to go down [03381] into Egypt [04714], and have not asked [07592] at my mouth [06310]; to strengthen [05810] themselves in the strength [04581] of Pharaoh [06547], and to trust [02620] in the shadow [06738] of Egypt [04714]! 23 30 3 Therefore shall the strength [04581] of Pharaoh [06547] be your shame [01322], and the trust [02622] in the shadow [06738] of Egypt [04714] your confusion [03639]. 23 30 4 For his princes [08269] were at Zoan [06814], and his ambassadors [04397] came [05060] to Hanes [02609]. 23 30 5 They were all ashamed [03001] of a people [05971] that could not profit [03276] them, nor be an help [05828] nor profit [03276], but a shame [01322], and also a reproach [02781]. 23 30 6 The burden [04853] of the beasts [0929] of the south [05045]: into the land [0776] of trouble [06869] and anguish [06695], from whence come the young [03833] and old lion [03918], the viper [0660] and fiery [08314] flying [05774] serpent [08314], they will carry [05375] their riches [02428] upon the shoulders [03802] of young asses [05895], and their treasures [0214] upon the bunches [01707] of camels [01581], to a people [05971] that shall not profit [03276] them. 23 30 7 For the Egyptians [04714] shall help [05826] in vain [01892], and to no purpose [07385]: therefore have I cried [07121] concerning this [02063], Their [01992] strength [07293] is to sit still [07674]. 23 30 8 Now go [0935], write [03789] it before them in a table [03871], and note [02710] it in a book [05612], that it may be for the time [03117] to come [0314] for [05704] ever [05703] and ever [05769]: 23 30 9 That this is a rebellious [04805] people [05971], lying [03586] children [01121], children [01121] that will [014] not hear [08085] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068]: 23 30 10 Which say [0559] to the seers [07200], See [07200] not; and to the prophets [02374], Prophesy [02372] not unto us right things [05229], speak [01696] unto us smooth things [02513], prophesy [02372] deceits [04123]: 23 30 11 Get you out [05493] of the way [01870], turn aside [05186] out of the path [0734], cause the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] to cease [07673] from before [06440] us. 23 30 12 Wherefore thus saith [0559] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], Because ye despise [03988] this word [01697], and trust [0982] in oppression [06233] and perverseness [03868], and stay [08172] thereon: 23 30 13 Therefore this iniquity [05771] shall be to you as a breach [06556] ready to fall [05307], swelling out [01158] in a high [07682] wall [02346], whose breaking [07667] cometh [0935] suddenly [06597] at an instant [06621]. 23 30 14 And he shall break [07665] it as the breaking [07667] of the potters [03335] ' vessel [05035] that is broken in pieces [03807]; he shall not spare [02550]: so that there shall not be found [04672] in the bursting [04386] of it a sherd [02789] to take [02846] fire [0784] from the hearth [03344], or to take [02834] water [04325] withal out of the pit [01360]. 23 30 15 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; In returning [07729] and rest [05183] shall ye be saved [03467]; in quietness [08252] and in confidence [0985] shall be your strength [01369]: and ye would [014] not. 23 30 16 But ye said [0559], No; for we will flee [05127] upon horses [05483]; therefore shall ye flee [05127]: and, We will ride [07392] upon the swift [07031]; therefore shall they that pursue [07291] you be swift [07043]. 23 30 17 One [0259] thousand [0505] shall flee at [06440] the rebuke [01606] of one [0259]; at [06440] the rebuke [01606] of five [02568] shall ye flee [05127]: till ye be left [03498] as a beacon [08650] upon the top [07218] of a mountain [02022], and as an ensign [05251] on an hill [01389]. 23 30 18 And therefore will the LORD [03068] wait [02442], that he may be gracious [02603] unto you, and therefore will he be exalted [07311], that he may have mercy [07355] upon you: for the LORD [03068] is a God [0430] of judgment [04941]: blessed [0835] are all they that wait [02442] for him. 23 30 19 For the people [05971] shall dwell [03427] in Zion [06726] at Jerusalem [03389]: thou shalt weep [01058] no more [01058]: he will be very [02603] gracious [02603] unto thee at the voice [06963] of thy cry [02199]; when he shall hear [08085] it, he will answer [06030] thee. 23 30 20 And though the Lord [0136] give [05414] you the bread [03899] of adversity [06862], and the water [04325] of affliction [03906], yet shall not thy teachers [03384] be removed into a corner [03670] any more, but thine eyes [05869] shall see [07200] thy teachers [03384]: 23 30 21 And thine ears [0241] shall hear [08085] a word [01697] behind [0310] thee, saying [0559], This is the way [01870], walk ye in it [03212], when ye turn to the right hand [0541], and when ye turn to the left [08041]. 23 30 22 Ye shall defile [02930] also the covering [06826] of thy graven images [06456] of silver [03701], and the ornament [0642] of thy molten images [04541] of gold [02091]: thou shalt cast them away [02219] as a menstruous cloth [01739]; thou shalt say [0559] unto it, Get thee hence [03318]. 23 30 23 Then shall he give [05414] the rain [04306] of thy seed [02233], that thou shalt sow [02232] the ground [0127] withal; and bread [03899] of the increase [08393] of the earth [0127], and it shall be fat [01879] and plenteous [08082]: in that day [03117] shall thy cattle [04735] feed [07462] in large [07337] pastures [03733]. 23 30 24 The oxen [0504] likewise and the young asses [05895] that ear [05647] the ground [0127] shall eat [0398] clean [02548] provender [01098], which hath been winnowed [02219] with the shovel [07371] and with the fan [04214]. 23 30 25 And there shall be upon every high [01364] mountain [02022], and upon every high [05375] hill [01389], rivers [06388] and streams [02988] of waters [04325] in the day [03117] of the great [07227] slaughter [02027], when the towers [04026] fall [05307]. 23 30 26 Moreover the light [0216] of the moon [03842] shall be as the light [0216] of the sun [02535], and the light [0216] of the sun [02535] shall be sevenfold [07659], as the light [0216] of seven [07651] days [03117], in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] bindeth up [02280] the breach [07667] of his people [05971], and healeth [07495] the stroke [04273] of their wound [04347]. 23 30 27 Behold, the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] cometh [0935] from far [04801], burning [01197] with his anger [0639], and the burden [04858] thereof is heavy [03514]: his lips [08193] are full [04390] of indignation [02195], and his tongue [03956] as a devouring [0398] fire [0784]: 23 30 28 And his breath [07307], as an overflowing [07857] stream [05158], shall reach to the midst [02673] of the neck [06677], to sift [05130] the nations [01471] with the sieve [05299] of vanity [07723]: and there shall be a bridle [07448] in the jaws [03895] of the people [05971], causing them to err [08582]. 23 30 29 Ye shall have a song [07892], as in the night [03915] when a holy [06942] solemnity [02282] is kept [06942]; and gladness [08057] of heart [03824], as when one goeth [01980] with a pipe [02485] to come [0935] into the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], to the mighty One [06697] of Israel [03478]. 23 30 30 And the LORD [03068] shall cause his glorious [01935] voice [06963] to be heard [08085], and shall shew [07200] the lighting down [05183] of his arm [02220], with the indignation [02197] of his anger [0639], and with the flame [03851] of a devouring [0398] fire [0784], with scattering [05311], and tempest [02230], and hailstones [068] [01259]. 23 30 31 For through the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] shall the Assyrian [0804] be beaten down [02865], which smote [05221] with a rod [07626]. 23 30 32 And in every place [03605] where the grounded [04145] staff [04294] shall pass [04569], which the LORD [03068] shall lay [05117] upon him, it shall be with tabrets [08596] and harps [03658]: and in battles [04421] of shaking [08573] will he fight [03898] with it. 23 30 33 For Tophet [08613] is ordained [06186] of old [0865]; yea, for the king [04428] it is prepared [03559]; he hath made it deep [06009] and large [07337]: the pile [04071] thereof is fire [0784] and much [07235] wood [06086]; the breath [05397] of the LORD [03068], like a stream [05158] of brimstone [01614], doth kindle [01197] it. 23 31 1 Woe [01945] to them that go down [03381] to Egypt [04714] for help [05833]; and stay [08172] on horses [05483], and trust [0982] in chariots [07393], because they are many [07227]; and in horsemen [06571], because they are very [03966] strong [06105]; but they look [08159] not unto the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], neither seek [01875] the LORD [03068]! 23 31 2 Yet he also is wise [02450], and will bring [0935] evil [07451], and will not call back [05493] his words [01697]: but will arise [06965] against the house [01004] of the evildoers [07489], and against the help [05833] of them that work [06466] iniquity [0205]. 23 31 3 Now the Egyptians [04714] are men [0120], and not God [0410]; and their horses [05483] flesh [01320], and not spirit [07307]. When the LORD [03068] shall stretch out [05186] his hand [03027], both he that helpeth [05826] shall fall [03782], and he that is holpen [05826] shall fall down [05307], and they all shall fail [03615] together [03162]. 23 31 4 For thus hath the LORD [03068] spoken [0559] unto me, Like as the lion [0738] and the young lion [03715] roaring [01897] on his prey [02964], when a multitude [04393] of shepherds [07462] is called forth [07121] against him, he will not be afraid [02865] of their voice [06963], nor abase [06031] himself for the noise [01995] of them: so shall the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] come down [03381] to fight [06633] for mount [02022] Zion [06726], and for the hill [01389] thereof. 23 31 5 As birds [06833] flying [05774], so will the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] defend [01598] Jerusalem [03389]; defending [01598] also he will deliver [05337] it; and passing over [06452] he will preserve [04422] it. 23 31 6 Turn [07725] ye unto him from whom the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have deeply [06009] revolted [05627]. 23 31 7 For in that day [03117] every man [0376] shall cast away [03988] his idols [0457] of silver [03701], and his idols [0457] of gold [02091], which your own hands [03027] have made [06213] unto you for a sin [02399]. 23 31 8 Then shall the Assyrian [0804] fall [05307] with the sword [02719], not of a mighty man [0376]; and the sword [02719], not of a mean man [0120], shall devour [0398] him: but he shall flee [05127] from [06440] the sword [02719], and his young men [0970] shall be discomfited [04522]. 23 31 9 And he shall pass over [05674] to his strong hold [05553] for fear [04032], and his princes [08269] shall be afraid [02865] of the ensign [05251], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], whose fire [0217] is in Zion [06726], and his furnace [08574] in Jerusalem [03389]. 23 32 1 Behold, a king [04428] shall reign [04427] in righteousness [06664], and princes [08269] shall rule [08323] in judgment [04941]. 23 32 2 And a man [0376] shall be as an hiding place [04224] from the wind [07307], and a covert [05643] from the tempest [02230]; as rivers [06388] of water [04325] in a dry place [06724], as the shadow [06738] of a great [03515] rock [05553] in a weary [05889] land [0776]. 23 32 3 And the eyes [05869] of them that see [07200] shall not be dim [08159], and the ears [0241] of them that hear [08085] shall hearken [07181]. 23 32 4 The heart [03824] also of the rash [04116] shall understand [0995] knowledge [01847], and the tongue [03956] of the stammerers [05926] shall be ready [04116] to speak [01696] plainly [06703]. 23 32 5 The vile person [05036] shall be no more called [07121] liberal [05081], nor the churl [03596] said [0559] to be bountiful [07771]. 23 32 6 For the vile person [05036] will speak [01696] villany [05039], and his heart [03820] will work [06213] iniquity [0205], to practise [06213] hypocrisy [02612], and to utter [01696] error [08442] against the LORD [03068], to make empty [07324] the soul [05315] of the hungry [07457], and he will cause the drink [04945] of the thirsty [06771] to fail [02637]. 23 32 7 The instruments [03627] also of the churl [03596] are evil [07451]: he deviseth [03289] wicked devices [02154] to destroy [02254] the poor [06041] [06035] with lying [08267] words [0561], even when the needy [034] speaketh [01696] right [04941]. 23 32 8 But the liberal [05081] deviseth [03289] liberal things [05081]; and by liberal things [05081] shall he stand [06965]. 23 32 9 Rise up [06965], ye women [0802] that are at ease [07600]; hear [08085] my voice [06963], ye careless [0982] daughters [01323]; give ear [0238] unto my speech [0565]. 23 32 10 Many days [03117] and years [08141] shall ye be troubled [07264], ye careless women [0982]: for the vintage [01210] shall fail [03615], the gathering [0625] shall not come [0935]. 23 32 11 Tremble [02729], ye women that are at ease [07600]; be troubled [07264], ye careless ones [0982]: strip [06584] you, and make you bare [06209], and gird [02290] sackcloth upon your loins [02504]. 23 32 12 They shall lament [05594] for the teats [07699], for the pleasant [02531] fields [07704], for the fruitful [06509] vine [01612]. 23 32 13 Upon the land [0127] of my people [05971] shall come up [05927] thorns [06975] and briers [08068]; yea, upon all the houses [01004] of joy [04885] in the joyous [05947] city [07151]: 23 32 14 Because the palaces [0759] shall be forsaken [05203]; the multitude [01995] of the city [05892] shall be left [05800]; the forts [06076] and towers [0975] shall be for dens [04631] for [05704] ever [05769], a joy [04885] of wild asses [06501], a pasture [04829] of flocks [05739]; 23 32 15 Until the spirit [07307] be poured [06168] upon us from on high [04791], and the wilderness [04057] be a fruitful field [03759], and the fruitful field [03759] be counted [02803] for a forest [03293]. 23 32 16 Then judgment [04941] shall dwell [07931] in the wilderness [04057], and righteousness [06666] remain [03427] in the fruitful field [03759]. 23 32 17 And the work [04639] of righteousness [06666] shall be peace [07965]; and the effect [05656] of righteousness [06666] quietness [08252] and assurance [0983] for [05704] ever [05769]. 23 32 18 And my people [05971] shall dwell [03427] in a peaceable [07965] habitation [05116], and in sure [04009] dwellings [04908], and in quiet [07600] resting places [04496]; 23 32 19 When it shall hail [01258], coming down [03381] on the forest [03293]; and the city [05892] shall be low [08213] in a low place [08218]. 23 32 20 Blessed [0835] are ye that sow [02232] beside all waters [04325], that send forth [07971] thither the feet [07272] of the ox [07794] and the ass [02543]. 23 33 1 Woe [01945] to thee that spoilest [07703], and thou wast not spoiled [07703]; and dealest treacherously [0898], and they dealt not treacherously [0898] with thee! when thou shalt cease [08552] to spoil [07703], thou shalt be spoiled [07703]; and when thou shalt make an end [05239] to deal treacherously [0898], they shall deal treacherously [0898] with thee. 23 33 2 O LORD [03068], be gracious [02603] unto us; we have waited [06960] for thee: be thou their arm [02220] every morning [01242], our salvation [03444] also in the time [06256] of trouble [06869]. 23 33 3 At the noise [06963] of the tumult [01995] the people [05971] fled [05074]; at the lifting up [07427] of thyself the nations [01471] were scattered [05310]. 23 33 4 And your spoil [07998] shall be gathered [0622] like the gathering [0625] of the caterpiller [02625]: as the running to and fro [04944] of locusts [01357] shall he run [08264] upon them. 23 33 5 The LORD [03068] is exalted [07682]; for he dwelleth [07931] on high [04791]: he hath filled [04390] Zion [06726] with judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666]. 23 33 6 And wisdom [02451] and knowledge [01847] shall be the stability [0530] of thy times [06256], and strength [02633] of salvation [03444]: the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is his treasure [0214]. 23 33 7 Behold, their valiant ones [0691] shall cry [06817] without [02351]: the ambassadors [04397] of peace [07965] shall weep [01058] bitterly [04751]. 23 33 8 The highways [04546] lie waste [08074], the wayfaring man [05674] [0734] ceaseth [07673]: he hath broken [06565] the covenant [01285], he hath despised [03988] the cities [05892], he regardeth [02803] no man [0582]. 23 33 9 The earth [0776] mourneth [056] and languisheth [0535]: Lebanon [03844] is ashamed [02659] and hewn down [07060]: Sharon [08289] is like a wilderness [06160]; and Bashan [01316] and Carmel [03760] shake off [05287] their fruits. 23 33 10 Now will I rise [06965], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; now will I be exalted [07426]; now will I lift up [05375] myself. 23 33 11 Ye shall conceive [02029] chaff [02842], ye shall bring forth [03205] stubble [07179]: your breath [07307], as fire [0784], shall devour [0398] you. 23 33 12 And the people [05971] shall be as the burnings [04955] of lime [07875]: as thorns [06975] cut up [03683] shall they be burned [03341] in the fire [0784]. 23 33 13 Hear [08085], ye that are far off [07350], what I have done [06213]; and, ye that are near [07138], acknowledge [03045] my might [01369]. 23 33 14 The sinners [02400] in Zion [06726] are afraid [06342]; fearfulness [07461] hath surprised [0270] the hypocrites [02611]. Who among us shall dwell [01481] with the devouring [0398] fire [0784]? who among us shall dwell [01481] with everlasting [05769] burnings [04168]? 23 33 15 He that walketh [01980] righteously [06666], and speaketh [01696] uprightly [04339]; he that despiseth [03988] the gain [01215] of oppressions [04642], that shaketh [05287] his hands [03709] from holding [08551] of bribes [07810], that stoppeth [0331] his ears [0241] from hearing [08085] of blood [01818], and shutteth [06105] his eyes [05869] from seeing [07200] evil [07451]; 23 33 16 He shall dwell [07931] on high [04791]: his place of defence [04869] shall be the munitions [04679] of rocks [05553]: bread [03899] shall be given [05414] him; his waters [04325] shall be sure [0539]. 23 33 17 Thine eyes [05869] shall see [02372] the king [04428] in his beauty [03308]: they shall behold [07200] the land [0776] that is very far off [04801]. 23 33 18 Thine heart [03820] shall meditate [01897] terror [0367]. Where is the scribe [05608]? where is the receiver [08254]? where is he that counted [05608] the towers [04026]? 23 33 19 Thou shalt not see [07200] a fierce [03267] people [05971], a people [05971] of a deeper [06012] speech [08193] than thou canst perceive [08085]; of a stammering [03932] tongue [03956], that thou canst not understand [0998]. 23 33 20 Look [02372] upon Zion [06726], the city [07151] of our solemnities [04150]: thine eyes [05869] shall see [07200] Jerusalem [03389] a quiet [07600] habitation [05116], a tabernacle [0168] that shall not be taken down [06813]; not one of the stakes [03489] thereof shall ever [05331] be removed [05265], neither shall any of the cords [02256] thereof be broken [05423]. 23 33 21 But there the glorious [0117] LORD [03068] will be unto us a place [04725] of broad [07342] [03027] rivers [05104] and streams [02975]; wherein shall go [03212] no [01077] galley [0590] with oars [07885], neither shall gallant [0117] ship [06716] pass [05674] thereby. 23 33 22 For the LORD [03068] is our judge [08199], the LORD [03068] is our lawgiver [02710], the LORD [03068] is our king [04428]; he will save [03467] us. 23 33 23 Thy tacklings [02256] are loosed [05203]; they could not well [03653] strengthen [02388] their mast [08650], they could not spread [06566] the sail [05251]: then is the prey [05706] of a great [04766] spoil [07998] divided [02505]; the lame [06455] take [0962] the prey [0957]. 23 33 24 And the inhabitant [07934] shall not say [0559], I am sick [02470]: the people [05971] that dwell [03427] therein shall be forgiven [05375] their iniquity [05771]. 23 34 1 Come near [07126], ye nations [01471], to hear [08085]; and hearken [07181], ye people [03816]: let the earth [0776] hear [08085], and all that is therein [04393]; the world [08398], and all things that come forth [06631] of it. 23 34 2 For the indignation [07110] of the LORD [03068] is upon all nations [01471], and his fury [02534] upon all their armies [06635]: he hath utterly destroyed [02763] them, he hath delivered [05414] them to the slaughter [02874]. 23 34 3 Their slain [02491] also shall be cast out [07993], and their stink [0889] shall come up [05927] out of their carcases [06297], and the mountains [02022] shall be melted [04549] with their blood [01818]. 23 34 4 And all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] shall be dissolved [04743], and the heavens [08064] shall be rolled together [01556] as a scroll [05612]: and all their host [06635] shall fall down [05034], as the leaf [05929] falleth off [05034] from the vine [01612], and as a falling [05034] fig from the fig tree [08384]. 23 34 5 For my sword [02719] shall be bathed [07301] in heaven [08064]: behold, it shall come down [03381] upon Idumea [0123], and upon the people [05971] of my curse [02764], to judgment [04941]. 23 34 6 The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the LORD [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123]. 23 34 7 And the unicorns [07214] shall come down [03381] with them, and the bullocks [06499] with the bulls [047]; and their land [0776] shall be soaked [07301] with blood [01818], and their dust [06083] made fat [01878] with fatness [02459]. 23 34 8 For it is the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] vengeance [05359], and the year [08141] of recompences [07966] for the controversy [07379] of Zion [06726]. 23 34 9 And the streams [05158] thereof shall be turned [02015] into pitch [02203], and the dust [06083] thereof into brimstone [01614], and the land [0776] thereof shall become burning [01197] pitch [02203]. 23 34 10 It shall not be quenched [03518] night [03915] nor day [03119]; the smoke [06227] thereof shall go up [05927] for ever [05769]: from generation [01755] to generation [01755] it shall lie waste [02717]; none shall pass through [05674] it for ever [05331] and ever [05331]. 23 34 11 But the cormorant [06893] and the bittern [07090] shall possess [03423] it; the owl [03244] also and the raven [06158] shall dwell [07931] in it: and he shall stretch out [05186] upon it the line [06957] of confusion [08414], and the stones [068] of emptiness [0922]. 23 34 12 They shall call [07121] the nobles [02715] thereof to the kingdom [04410], but none shall be there, and all her princes [08269] shall be nothing [0657]. 23 34 13 And thorns [05518] shall come up [05927] in her palaces [0759], nettles [07057] and brambles [02336] in the fortresses [04013] thereof: and it shall be an habitation [05116] of dragons [08577], and a court [02681] for owls [01323] [03284]. 23 34 14 The wild beasts of the desert [06728] shall also meet [06298] with the wild beasts of the island [0338], and the satyr [08163] shall cry [07121] to his fellow [07453]; the screech owl [03917] also shall rest [07280] there, and find [04672] for herself a place of rest [04494]. 23 34 15 There shall the great owl [07091] make her nest [07077], and lay [04422], and hatch [01234], and gather [01716] under her shadow [06738]: there shall the vultures [01772] also be gathered [06908], every one [0802] with her mate [07468]. 23 34 16 Seek ye out [01875] of the book [05612] of the LORD [03068], and read [07121]: no one [0259] of these [02007] shall fail [05737], none [0802] shall want [06485] her mate [07468]: for my mouth [06310] it hath commanded [06680], and his spirit [07307] it hath gathered [06908] them. 23 34 17 And he hath cast [05307] the lot [01486] for them, and his hand [03027] hath divided [02505] it unto them by line [06957]: they shall possess [03423] it for [05704] ever [05769], from generation [01755] to generation [01755] shall they dwell [07931] therein. 23 35 1 The wilderness [04057] and the solitary place [06723] shall be glad [07797] for them; and the desert [06160] shall rejoice [01523], and blossom [06524] as the rose [02261]. 23 35 2 It shall blossom [06524] abundantly [06524], and rejoice [01523] even with joy [01525] and singing [07444]: the glory [03519] of Lebanon [03844] shall be given [05414] unto it, the excellency [01926] of Carmel [03760] and Sharon [08289], they shall see [07200] the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068], and the excellency [01926] of our God [0430]. 23 35 3 Strengthen [02388] ye the weak [07504] hands [03027], and confirm [0553] the feeble [03782] knees [01290]. 23 35 4 Say [0559] to them that are of a fearful [04116] heart [03820], Be strong [02388], fear [03372] not: behold, your God [0430] will come [0935] with vengeance [05359], even God [0430] with a recompence [01576]; he will come [0935] and save [03467] you. 23 35 5 Then the eyes [05869] of the blind [05787] shall be opened [06491], and the ears [0241] of the deaf [02795] shall be unstopped [06605]. 23 35 6 Then shall the lame [06455] man leap [01801] as an hart [0354], and the tongue [03956] of the dumb [0483] sing [07442]: for in the wilderness [04057] shall waters [04325] break out [01234], and streams [05158] in the desert [06160]. 23 35 7 And the parched ground [08273] shall become a pool [098], and the thirsty land [06774] springs [04002] of water [04325]: in the habitation [05116] of dragons [08577], where each lay [07258], shall be grass [02682] with reeds [07070] and rushes [01573]. 23 35 8 And an highway [04547] shall be there, and a way [01870], and it shall be called [07121] The way [01870] of holiness [06944]; the unclean [02931] shall not pass over [05674] it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men [01980], though fools [0191], shall not err [08582] therein. 23 35 9 No lion [0738] shall be there, nor any ravenous [06530] beast [02416] shall go up [05927] thereon, it shall not be found [04672] there; but the redeemed [01350] shall walk [01980] there: 23 35 10 And the ransomed [06299] of the LORD [03068] shall return [07725], and come [0935] to Zion [06726] with songs [07440] and everlasting [05769] joy [08057] upon their heads [07218]: they shall obtain [05381] joy [08057] and gladness [08342], and sorrow [03015] and sighing [0585] shall flee away [05127]. 23 36 1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth [0702] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Hezekiah [02396], that Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came up [05927] against all the defenced [01219] cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and took [08610] them. 23 36 2 And the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] sent [07971] Rabshakeh [07262] from Lachish [03923] to Jerusalem [03389] unto king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] with a great [03515] army [02426]. And he stood [05975] by the conduit [08585] of the upper [05945] pool [01295] in the highway [04546] of the fuller's [03526] field [07704]. 23 36 3 Then came forth [03318] unto him Eliakim [0471], Hilkiah's [02518] son [01121], which was over the house [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and Joah [03098], Asaph's [0623] son [01121], the recorder [02142]. 23 36 4 And Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559] unto them, Say [0559] ye now to Hezekiah [02396], Thus saith [0559] the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], What confidence [0986] is this wherein thou trustest [0982]? 23 36 5 I say [0559], sayest thou, (but they are but vain [08193] words [01697]) I have counsel [06098] and strength [01369] for war [04421]: now on whom dost thou trust [0982], that thou rebellest [04775] against me? 23 36 6 Lo, thou trustest [0982] in the staff [04938] of this broken [07533] reed [07070], on Egypt [04714]; whereon if a man [0376] lean [05564], it will go [0935] into his hand [03709], and pierce [05344] it: so is Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] to all that trust [0982] in him. 23 36 7 But if thou say [0559] to me, We trust [0982] in the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: is it not he, whose high places [01116] and whose altars [04196] Hezekiah [02396] hath taken away [05493], and said [0559] to Judah [03063] and to Jerusalem [03389], Ye shall worship [07812] before [06440] this altar [04196]? 23 36 8 Now therefore give pledges [06148], I pray thee, to my master [0113] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], and I will give [05414] thee two thousand [0505] horses [05483], if thou be able [03201] on thy part to set [05414] riders [07392] upon them. 23 36 9 How then wilt thou turn away [07725] the face [06440] of one [0259] captain [06346] of the least [06996] of my master's [0113] servants [05650], and put thy trust [0982] on Egypt [04714] for chariots [07393] and for horsemen [06571]? 23 36 10 And am I now come up [05927] without [01107] the LORD [03068] against this land [0776] to destroy [07843] it? the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Go up [05927] against this land [0776], and destroy [07843] it. 23 36 11 Then said [0559] Eliakim [0471] and Shebna [07644] and Joah [03098] unto Rabshakeh [07262], Speak [01696], I pray thee, unto thy servants [05650] in the Syrian language [0762]; for we understand [08085] it: and speak [01696] not to us in the Jews' language [03066], in the ears [0241] of the people [05971] that are on the wall [02346]. 23 36 12 But Rabshakeh [07262] said [0559], Hath my master [0113] sent [07971] me to thy master [0113] and to thee to speak [01696] these words [01697]? hath he not sent me to the men [0582] that sit [03427] upon the wall [02346], that they may eat [0398] their own dung [02716] [06675], and drink [08354] their own piss [04325] [07272] [07890] with you? 23 36 13 Then Rabshakeh [07262] stood [05975], and cried [07121] with a loud [01419] voice [06963] in the Jews' language [03066], and said [0559], Hear [08085] ye the words [01697] of the great [01419] king [04428], the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 23 36 14 Thus saith [0559] the king [04428], Let not Hezekiah [02396] deceive [05377] you: for he shall not be able [03201] to deliver [05337] you. 23 36 15 Neither let Hezekiah [02396] make you trust [0982] in the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] will surely [05337] deliver [05337] us: this city [05892] shall not be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 23 36 16 Hearken [08085] not to Hezekiah [02396]: for thus saith [0559] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], Make [06213] an agreement with me by a present [01293], and come out [03318] to me: and eat [0398] ye every one [0376] of his vine [01612], and every one [0376] of his fig tree [08384], and drink [08354] ye every one [0376] the waters [04325] of his own cistern [0953]; 23 36 17 Until I come [0935] and take you away [03947] to a land [0776] like your own land [0776], a land [0776] of corn [01715] and wine [08492], a land [0776] of bread [03899] and vineyards [03754]. 23 36 18 Beware lest Hezekiah [02396] persuade [05496] you, saying [0559], The LORD [03068] will deliver [05337] us. Hath any [0376] of the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] delivered [05337] his land [0776] out of the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]? 23 36 19 Where are the gods [0430] of Hamath [02574] and Arphad [0774]? where are the gods [0430] of Sepharvaim [05617]? and have they delivered [05337] Samaria [08111] out of my hand [03027]? 23 36 20 Who are they among all the gods [0430] of these lands [0776], that have delivered [05337] their land [0776] out of my hand [03027], that the LORD [03068] should deliver [05337] Jerusalem [03389] out of my hand [03027]? 23 36 21 But they held their peace [02790], and answered [06030] him not a word [01697]: for the king's [04428] commandment [04687] was, saying [0559], Answer [06030] him not. 23 36 22 Then came [0935] Eliakim [0471], the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], that was over the household [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and Joah [03098], the son [01121] of Asaph [0623], the recorder [02142], to Hezekiah [02396] with their clothes [0899] rent [07167], and told [05046] him the words [01697] of Rabshakeh [07262]. 23 37 1 And it came to pass, when king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] heard [08085] it, that he rent [07167] his clothes [0899], and covered [03680] himself with sackcloth [08242], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 23 37 2 And he sent [07971] Eliakim [0471], who was over the household [01004], and Shebna [07644] the scribe [05608], and the elders [02205] of the priests [03548] covered [03680] with sackcloth [08242], unto Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531]. 23 37 3 And they said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Hezekiah [02396], This day [03117] is a day [03117] of trouble [06869], and of rebuke [08433], and of blasphemy [05007]: for the children [01121] are come [0935] to the birth [04866], and there is not strength [03581] to bring forth [03205]. 23 37 4 It may be the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will hear [08085] the words [01697] of Rabshakeh [07262], whom the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] his master [0113] hath sent [07971] to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430], and will reprove [03198] the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath heard [08085]: wherefore lift up [05375] thy prayer [08605] for the remnant [07611] that is left [04672]. 23 37 5 So the servants [05650] of king [04428] Hezekiah [02396] came [0935] to Isaiah [03470]. 23 37 6 And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] unto your master [0113], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the words [01697] that thou hast heard [08085], wherewith the servants [05288] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] have blasphemed [01442] me. 23 37 7 Behold, I will send [05414] a blast [07307] upon him, and he shall hear [08085] a rumour [08052], and return [07725] to his own land [0776]; and I will cause him to fall [05307] by the sword [02719] in his own land [0776]. 23 37 8 So Rabshakeh [07262] returned [07725], and found [04672] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] warring [03898] against Libnah [03841]: for he had heard [08085] that he was departed [05265] from Lachish [03923]. 23 37 9 And he heard [08085] say [0559] concerning Tirhakah [08640] king [04428] of Ethiopia [03568], He is come forth [03318] to make war [03898] with thee. And when he heard [08085] it, he sent [07971] messengers [04397] to Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559], 23 37 10 Thus shall ye speak [0559] to Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Let not thy God [0430], in whom thou trustest [0982], deceive [05377] thee, saying [0559], Jerusalem [03389] shall not be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 23 37 11 Behold, thou hast heard [08085] what the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] have done [06213] to all lands [0776] by destroying them utterly [02763]; and shalt thou be delivered [05337]? 23 37 12 Have the gods [0430] of the nations [01471] delivered [05337] them which my fathers [01] have destroyed [07843], as Gozan [01470], and Haran [02771], and Rezeph [07530], and the children [01121] of Eden [05729] which were in Telassar [08515]? 23 37 13 Where is the king [04428] of Hamath [02574], and the king [04428] of Arphad [0774], and the king [04428] of the city [05892] of Sepharvaim [05617], Hena [02012], and Ivah [05755]? 23 37 14 And Hezekiah [02396] received [03947] the letter [05612] from the hand [03027] of the messengers [04397], and read [07121] it: and Hezekiah [02396] went up [05927] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and spread [06566] it before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 23 37 15 And Hezekiah [02396] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 23 37 16 O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], God [0430] of Israel [03478], that dwellest [03427] between the cherubims [03742], thou art the God [0430], even thou alone, of all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]: thou hast made [06213] heaven [08064] and earth [0776]. 23 37 17 Incline [05186] thine ear [0241], O LORD [03068], and hear [08085]; open [06491] thine eyes [05869], O LORD [03068], and see [07200]: and hear [08085] all the words [01697] of Sennacherib [05576], which hath sent [07971] to reproach [02778] the living [02416] God [0430]. 23 37 18 Of a truth [0551], LORD [03068], the kings [04428] of Assyria [0804] have laid waste [02717] all the nations [0776], and their countries [0776], 23 37 19 And have cast [05414] their gods [0430] into the fire [0784]: for they were no gods [0430], but the work [04639] of men's [0120] hands [03027], wood [06086] and stone [068]: therefore they have destroyed [06] them. 23 37 20 Now therefore, O LORD [03068] our God [0430], save [03467] us from his hand [03027], that all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] may know [03045] that thou art the LORD [03068], even thou only. 23 37 21 Then Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] sent [07971] unto Hezekiah [02396], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Whereas thou hast prayed [06419] to me against Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: 23 37 22 This is the word [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] concerning him; The virgin [01330], the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], hath despised [0959] thee, and laughed thee to scorn; [03932] the daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389] hath shaken [05128] her head [07218] at thee [0310]. 23 37 23 Whom hast thou reproached [02778] and blasphemed [01442]? and against whom hast thou exalted [07311] thy voice [06963], and lifted up [05375] thine eyes [05869] on high [04791]? even against the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 37 24 By [03027] thy servants [05650] hast thou reproached [02778] the Lord [0136], and hast said [0559], By the multitude [07230] of my chariots [07393] am I come up [05927] to the height [04791] of the mountains [02022], to the sides [03411] of Lebanon [03844]; and I will cut down [03772] the tall [06967] cedars [0730] thereof, and the choice [04005] fir trees [01265] thereof: and I will enter [0935] into the height [04791] of his border [07093], and the forest [03293] of his Carmel [03760]. 23 37 25 I have digged [06979], and drunk [08354] water [04325]; and with the sole [03709] of my feet [06471] have I dried up [02717] all the rivers [02975] of the besieged places [04693]. 23 37 26 Hast thou not heard [08085] long ago [07350], how I have done [06213] it; and of ancient [06924] times [03117], that I have formed [03335] it? now have I brought [0935] it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste [07582] defenced [01219] cities [05892] into ruinous [05327] heaps [01530]. 23 37 27 Therefore their inhabitants [03427] were of small [07116] power [03027], they were dismayed [02865] and confounded [0954]: they were as the grass [06212] of the field [07704], and as the green [03419] herb [01877], as the grass [02682] on the housetops [01406], and as corn blasted [07709] before [06440] it be grown up [07054]. 23 37 28 But I know [03045] thy abode [03427], and thy going out [03318], and thy coming in [0935], and thy rage [07264] against me. 23 37 29 Because thy rage [07264] against me, and thy tumult [07600], is come up [05927] into mine ears [0241], therefore will I put [07760] my hook [02397] in thy nose [0639], and my bridle [04964] in thy lips [08193], and I will turn thee back [07725] by the way [01870] by which thou camest [0935]. 23 37 30 And this shall be a sign [0226] unto thee, Ye shall eat [0398] this year [08141] such as groweth [05599] of itself; and the second [08145] year [08141] that which springeth [07823] of the same: and in the third [07992] year [08141] sow [02232] ye, and reap [07114], and plant [05193] vineyards [03754], and eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof. 23 37 31 And the remnant [07604] that is escaped [06413] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063] shall again [03254] take root [08328] downward [04295], and bear [06213] fruit [06529] upward [04605]: 23 37 32 For out of Jerusalem [03389] shall go forth [03318] a remnant [07611], and they that escape [06413] out of mount [02022] Zion [06726]: the zeal [07068] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall do [06213] this. 23 37 33 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the king [04428] of Assyria [0804], He shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], nor shoot [03384] an arrow [02671] there, nor come before [06923] it with shields [04043], nor cast [08210] a bank [05550] against it. 23 37 34 By the way [01870] that he came [0935], by the same shall he return [07725], and shall not come [0935] into this city [05892], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 37 35 For I will defend [01598] this city [05892] to save [03467] it for mine own sake, and for my servant [05650] David's [01732] sake. 23 37 36 Then the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] went forth [03318], and smote [05221] in the camp [04264] of the Assyrians [0804] a hundred [03967] and fourscore [08084] and five [02568] thousand [0505]: and when they arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], behold, they were all dead [04191] corpses [06297]. 23 37 37 So Sennacherib [05576] king [04428] of Assyria [0804] departed [05265], and went [03212] and returned [07725], and dwelt [03427] at Nineveh [05210]. 23 37 38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping [07812] in the house [01004] of Nisroch [05268] his god [0430], that Adrammelech [0152] and Sharezer [08272] his sons [01121] smote [05221] him with the sword [02719]; and they escaped [04422] into the land [0776] of Armenia [0780]: and Esarhaddon [0634] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead. 23 38 1 In those days [03117] was Hezekiah [02396] sick [02470] unto death [04191]. And Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531] came [0935] unto him, and said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Set thine house [01004] in order [06680]: for thou shalt die [04191], and not live [02421]. 23 38 2 Then Hezekiah [02396] turned [05437] his face [06440] toward the wall [07023], and prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], 23 38 3 And said [0559], Remember [02142] now, O LORD [03068], I beseech [0577] thee, how I have walked [01980] before [06440] thee in truth [0571] and with a perfect [08003] heart [03820], and have done [06213] that which is good [02896] in thy sight [05869]. And Hezekiah [02396] wept [01058] [01065] sore [01419]. 23 38 4 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] to Isaiah [03470], saying [0559], 23 38 5 Go [01980], and say [0559] to Hezekiah [02396], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of David [01732] thy father [01], I have heard [08085] thy prayer [08605], I have seen [07200] thy tears [01832]: behold, I will add [03254] unto thy days [03117] fifteen [02568] [06240] years [08141]. 23 38 6 And I will deliver [05337] thee and this city [05892] out of the hand [03709] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: and I will defend [01598] this city [05892]. 23 38 7 And this shall be a sign [0226] unto thee from the LORD [03068], that the LORD [03068] will do [06213] this thing [01697] that he hath spoken [01696]; 23 38 8 Behold, I will bring again [07725] the shadow [06738] of the degrees [04609], which is gone down [03381] in the sun [08121] dial [04609] of Ahaz [0271], ten [06235] degrees [04609] backward [0322]. So the sun [08121] returned [07725] ten [06235] degrees [04609], by which degrees [04609] it was gone down [03381]. 23 38 9 The writing [04385] of Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], when he had been sick [02470], and was recovered [02421] of his sickness [02483]: 23 38 10 I said [0559] in the cutting off [01824] of my days [03117], I shall go [03212] to the gates [08179] of the grave [07585]: I am deprived [06485] of the residue [03499] of my years [08141]. 23 38 11 I said [0559], I shall not see [07200] the LORD [03050], even the LORD [03050], in the land [0776] of the living [02416]: I shall behold [05027] man [0120] no more with the inhabitants [03427] of the world [02309]. 23 38 12 Mine age [01755] is departed [05265], and is removed [01540] from me as a shepherd's [07473] tent [0168]: I have cut off [07088] like a weaver [0707] my life [02416]: he will cut me off [01214] with pining sickness [01803]: from day [03117] even to night [03915] wilt thou make an end [07999] of me. 23 38 13 I reckoned [07737] till morning [01242], that, as a lion [0738], so will he break [07665] all my bones [06106]: from day [03117] even to night [03915] wilt thou make an end [07999] of me. 23 38 14 Like a crane [05483] or a swallow [05693], so did I chatter [06850]: I did mourn [01897] as a dove [03123]: mine eyes [05869] fail [01809] with looking upward [04791]: O LORD [03068], I am oppressed [06234]; undertake [06148] for me. 23 38 15 What shall I say [01696]? he hath both spoken [0559] unto me, and himself hath done [06213] it: I shall go softly [01718] all my years [08141] in the bitterness [04751] of my soul [05315]. 23 38 16 O Lord [0136], by these things men live [02421], and in all these things is the life [02416] of my spirit [07307]: so wilt thou recover [02492] me, and make me to live [02421]. 23 38 17 Behold, for peace [07965] I had great bitterness [04751] [04843]: but thou hast in love [02836] to my soul [05315] delivered it from the pit [07845] of corruption [01097]: for thou hast cast [07993] all my sins [02399] behind [0310] thy back [01460]. 23 38 18 For the grave [07585] cannot praise [03034] thee, death [04194] can not celebrate [01984] thee: they that go down [03381] into the pit [0953] cannot hope [07663] for thy truth [0571]. 23 38 19 The living [02416], the living [02416], he shall praise [03034] thee, as I do this day [03117]: the father [01] to the children [01121] shall make known [03045] thy truth [0571]. 23 38 20 The LORD [03068] was ready to save [03467] me: therefore we will sing my songs [05058] to the stringed instruments [05059] all the days [03117] of our life [02416] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 23 38 21 For Isaiah [03470] had said [0559], Let them take [05375] a lump [01690] of figs [08384], and lay it for a plaister [04799] upon the boil [07822], and he shall recover [02421]. 23 38 22 Hezekiah [02396] also had said [0559], What is the sign [0226] that I shall go up [05927] to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]? 23 39 1 At that time [06256] Merodachbaladan [04757], the son [01121] of Baladan [01081], king [04428] of Babylon [0894], sent [07971] letters [05612] and a present [04503] to Hezekiah [02396]: for he had heard [08085] that he had been sick [02470], and was recovered [02388]. 23 39 2 And Hezekiah [02396] was glad [08055] of them, and shewed [07200] them the house [01004] of his precious things [05238], the silver [03701], and the gold [02091], and the spices [01314], and the precious [02896] ointment [08081], and all the house [01004] of his armour [03627], and all that was found [04672] in his treasures [0214]: there was nothing [01697] in his house [01004], nor in all his dominion [04475], that Hezekiah [02396] shewed [07200] them not. 23 39 3 Then came [0935] Isaiah [03470] the prophet [05030] unto king [04428] Hezekiah [02396], and said [0559] unto him, What said [0559] these men [0582]? and from whence [0370] came [0935] they unto thee? And Hezekiah [02396] said [0559], They are come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776] unto me, even from Babylon [0894]. 23 39 4 Then said [0559] he, What have they seen [07200] in thine house [01004]? And Hezekiah [02396] answered [0559], All that is in mine house [01004] have they seen [07200]: there is nothing [01697] among my treasures [0214] that I have not shewed [07200] them. 23 39 5 Then said [0559] Isaiah [03470] to Hezekiah [02396], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: 23 39 6 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], that all that is in thine house [01004], and that which thy fathers [01] have laid up in store [0686] until this day [03117], shall be carried [05375] to Babylon [0894]: nothing [01697] shall be left [03498], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 23 39 7 And of thy sons [01121] that shall issue [03318] from thee, which thou shalt beget [03205], shall they take away [03947]; and they shall be eunuchs [05631] in the palace [01964] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 23 39 8 Then said [0559] Hezekiah [02396] to Isaiah [03470], Good [02896] is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which thou hast spoken [01696]. He said [0559] moreover, For there shall be peace [07965] and truth [0571] in my days [03117]. 23 40 1 Comfort [05162] ye, comfort [05162] ye my people [05971], saith [0559] your God [0430]. 23 40 2 Speak [01696] ye comfortably [03820] to Jerusalem [03389], and cry [07121] unto her, that her warfare [06635] is accomplished [04390], that her iniquity [05771] is pardoned [07521]: for she hath received [03947] of the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027] double [03718] for all her sins [02403]. 23 40 3 The voice [06963] of him that crieth [07121] in the wilderness [04057], Prepare [06437] ye the way [01870] of the LORD [03068], make straight [03474] in the desert [06160] a highway [04546] for our God [0430]. 23 40 4 Every valley [01516] shall be exalted [05375], and every mountain [02022] and hill [01389] shall be made low [08213]: and the crooked [06121] shall be made straight [04334], and the rough places [07406] plain [01237]: 23 40 5 And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] shall be revealed [01540], and all flesh [01320] shall see [07200] it together [03162]: for the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 40 6 The voice [06963] said [0559], Cry [07121]. And he said [0559], What shall I cry [07121]? All flesh [01320] is grass [02682], and all the goodliness [02617] thereof is as the flower [06731] of the field [07704]: 23 40 7 The grass [02682] withereth [03001], the flower [06731] fadeth [05034]: because the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] bloweth [05380] upon it: surely [0403] the people [05971] is grass [02682]. 23 40 8 The grass [02682] withereth [03001], the flower [06731] fadeth [05034]: but the word [01697] of our God [0430] shall stand [06965] for ever [05769]. 23 40 9 O Zion [06726], that bringest good tidings [01319], get thee up [05927] into the high [01364] mountain [02022]; O Jerusalem [03389], that bringest good tidings [01319], lift up [07311] thy voice [06963] with strength [03581]; lift it up [07311], be not afraid [03372]; say [0559] unto the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], Behold your God [0430]! 23 40 10 Behold, the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will come [0935] with strong [02389] hand, and his arm [02220] shall rule [04910] for him: behold, his reward [07939] is with him, and his work [06468] before [06440] him. 23 40 11 He shall feed [07462] his flock [05739] like a shepherd [07462]: he shall gather [06908] the lambs [02922] with his arm [02220], and carry [05375] them in his bosom [02436], and shall gently lead [05095] those that are with young [05763]. 23 40 12 Who hath measured [04058] the waters [04325] in the hollow of his hand [08168], and meted out [08505] heaven [08064] with the span [02239], and comprehended [03557] the dust [06083] of the earth [0776] in a measure [07991], and weighed [08254] the mountains [02022] in scales [06425], and the hills [01389] in a balance [03976]? 23 40 13 Who hath directed [08505] the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068], or being his counsellor [0376] [06098] hath taught [03045] him? 23 40 14 With whom took he counsel [03289], and who instructed [0995] him, and taught [03925] him in the path [0734] of judgment [04941], and taught [03925] him knowledge [01847], and shewed [03045] to him the way [01870] of understanding [08394]? 23 40 15 Behold, the nations [01471] are as a drop [04752] of a bucket [01805], and are counted [02803] as the small dust [07834] of the balance [03976]: behold, he taketh up [05190] the isles [0339] as a very little thing [01851]. 23 40 16 And Lebanon [03844] is not [0369] sufficient [01767] to burn [01197], nor the beasts [02416] thereof sufficient [01767] for a burnt offering [05930]. 23 40 17 All nations [01471] before him are as nothing; and they are counted [02803] to him less than nothing [0657], and vanity [08414]. 23 40 18 To whom then will ye liken [01819] God [0410]? or what likeness [01823] will ye compare [06186] unto him? 23 40 19 The workman [02796] melteth [05258] a graven image [06459], and the goldsmith [06884] spreadeth [07554] it over with gold [02091], and casteth [06884] silver [03701] chains [07577]. 23 40 20 He that is so impoverished [05533] [05534] that he hath no oblation [08641] chooseth [0977] a tree [06086] that will not rot [07537]; he seeketh [01245] unto him a cunning [02450] workman [02796] to prepare [03559] a graven image [06459], that shall not be moved [04131]. 23 40 21 Have ye not known [03045]? have ye not heard [08085]? hath it not been told [05046] you from the beginning [07218]? have ye not understood [0995] from the foundations [04146] of the earth [0776]? 23 40 22 It is he that sitteth [03427] upon the circle [02329] of the earth [0776], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof are as grasshoppers [02284]; that stretcheth out [05186] the heavens [08064] as a curtain [01852], and spreadeth them out [04969] as a tent [0168] to dwell in [03427]: 23 40 23 That bringeth [05414] the princes [07336] to nothing; he maketh [06213] the judges [08199] of the earth [0776] as vanity [08414]. 23 40 24 Yea, they shall not be planted [05193]; yea, they shall not be sown [02232]: yea, their stock [01503] shall not take root [08327] in the earth [0776]: and he shall also blow [05398] upon them, and they shall wither [03001], and the whirlwind [05591] shall take [05375] them away as stubble [07179]. 23 40 25 To whom then will ye liken [01819] me, or shall I be equal [07737]? saith [0559] the Holy One [06918]. 23 40 26 Lift up [05375] your eyes [05869] on high [04791], and behold [07200] who hath created [01254] these things, that bringeth out [03318] their host [06635] by number [04557]: he calleth [07121] them all by names [08034] by the greatness [07230] of his might [0202], for that he is strong [0533] in power [03581]; not one [0376] faileth [05737]. 23 40 27 Why sayest [0559] thou, O Jacob [03290], and speakest [01696], O Israel [03478], My way [01870] is hid [05641] from the LORD [03068], and my judgment [04941] is passed over [05674] from my God [0430]? 23 40 28 Hast thou not known [03045]? hast thou not heard [08085], that the everlasting [05769] God [0430], the LORD [03068], the Creator [01254] of the ends [07098] of the earth [0776], fainteth [03286] not, neither is weary [03021]? there is no searching [02714] of his understanding [08394]. 23 40 29 He giveth [05414] power [03581] to the faint [03287]; and to them that have no might [0202] he increaseth [07235] strength [06109]. 23 40 30 Even the youths [05288] shall faint [03286] and be weary [03021], and the young men [0970] shall utterly [03782] fall [03782]: 23 40 31 But they that wait [06960] upon the LORD [03068] shall renew [02498] their strength [03581]; they shall mount up [05927] with wings [083] as eagles [05404]; they shall run [07323], and not be weary [03021]; and they shall walk [03212], and not faint [03286]. 23 41 1 Keep silence [02790] before me, O islands [0339]; and let the people [03816] renew [02498] their strength [03581]: let them come near [05066]; then let them speak [01696]: let us come near [07126] together [03162] to judgment [04941]. 23 41 2 Who raised up [05782] the righteous [06664] man from the east [04217], called [07121] him to his foot [07272], gave [05414] the nations [01471] before [06440] him, and made him rule [07287] over kings [04428]? he gave [05414] them as the dust [06083] to his sword [02719], and as driven [05086] stubble [07179] to his bow [07198]. 23 41 3 He pursued [07291] them, and passed [05674] safely [07965]; even by the way [0734] that he had not gone [0935] with his feet [07272]. 23 41 4 Who hath wrought [06466] and done [06213] it, calling [07121] the generations [01755] from the beginning [07218]? I the LORD [03068], the first [07223], and with the last [0314]; I am he. 23 41 5 The isles [0339] saw [07200] it, and feared [03372]; the ends [07098] of the earth [0776] were afraid [02729], drew near [07126], and came [0857]. 23 41 6 They helped [05826] every one [0376] his neighbour [07453]; and every one said [0559] to his brother [0251], Be of good courage [02388]. 23 41 7 So the carpenter [02796] encouraged [02388] the goldsmith [06884], and he that smootheth [02505] with the hammer [06360] him that smote [01986] the anvil [06471], saying [0559], It is ready [02896] for the sodering [01694]: and he fastened [02388] it with nails [04548], that it should not be moved [04131]. 23 41 8 But thou, Israel [03478], art my servant [05650], Jacob [03290] whom I have chosen [0977], the seed [02233] of Abraham [085] my friend [0157]. 23 41 9 Thou whom I have taken [02388] from the ends [07098] of the earth [0776], and called [07121] thee from the chief men [0678] thereof, and said [0559] unto thee, Thou art my servant [05650]; I have chosen [0977] thee, and not cast thee away [03988]. 23 41 10 Fear [03372] thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed [08159]; for I am thy God [0430]: I will strengthen [0553] thee; yea, I will help [05826] thee; yea, I will uphold [08551] thee with the right hand [03225] of my righteousness [06664]. 23 41 11 Behold, all they that were incensed [02734] against thee shall be ashamed [0954] and confounded [03637]: they shall be as nothing; and they [0582] that strive [07379] with thee shall perish [06]. 23 41 12 Thou shalt seek [01245] them, and shalt not find [04672] them, even them [0582] that contended [04695] with thee: they that war [04421] against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought [0657]. 23 41 13 For I the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will hold [02388] thy right hand [03225], saying [0559] unto thee, Fear [03372] not; I will help [05826] thee. 23 41 14 Fear [03372] not, thou worm [08438] Jacob [03290], and ye men [04962] of Israel [03478]; I will help [05826] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and thy redeemer [01350], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 41 15 Behold, I will make [07760] thee a new [02319] sharp [02742] threshing [04173] instrument having [01167] teeth [06374]: thou shalt thresh [01758] the mountains [02022], and beat them small [01854], and shalt make [07760] the hills [01389] as chaff [04671]. 23 41 16 Thou shalt fan [02219] them, and the wind [07307] shall carry them away [05375], and the whirlwind [05591] shall scatter [06327] them: and thou shalt rejoice [01523] in the LORD [03068], and shalt glory [01984] in the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 41 17 When the poor [06041] and needy [034] seek [01245] water [04325], and there is none, and their tongue [03956] faileth [05405] for thirst [06772], I the LORD [03068] will hear [06030] them, I the God [0430] of Israel [03478] will not forsake [05800] them. 23 41 18 I will open [06605] rivers [05104] in high places [08205], and fountains [04599] in the midst [08432] of the valleys [01237]: I will make [07760] the wilderness [04057] a pool [098] of water [04325], and the dry [06723] land [0776] springs [04161] of water [04325]. 23 41 19 I will plant [05414] in the wilderness [04057] the cedar [0730], the shittah tree [07848], and the myrtle [01918], and the oil [08081] tree [06086]; I will set [07760] in the desert [06160] the fir tree [01265], and the pine [08410], and the box tree [08391] together [03162]: 23 41 20 That they may see [07200], and know [03045], and consider [07760], and understand [07919] together [03162], that the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] hath done [06213] this, and the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478] hath created [01254] it. 23 41 21 Produce [07126] your cause [07379], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; bring forth [05066] your strong [06110] reasons, saith [0559] the King [04428] of Jacob [03290]. 23 41 22 Let them bring them forth [05066], and shew [05046] us what shall happen [07136]: let them shew [05046] the former things [07223], what they be, that we may consider [07760] [03820] them, and know [03045] the latter end [0319] of them; or declare [08085] us things for to come [0935]. 23 41 23 Shew [05046] the things that are to come [0857] hereafter [0268], that we may know [03045] that ye are gods [0430]: yea, do good [03190], or do evil [07489], that we may be dismayed [08159], and behold [07200] it together [03162]. 23 41 24 Behold, ye are of nothing [0369], and your work [06467] of nought [0659]: an abomination [08441] is he that chooseth [0977] you. 23 41 25 I have raised up [05782] one from the north [06828], and he shall come [0857]: from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121] shall he call [07121] upon my name [08034]: and he shall come [0935] upon princes [05461] as upon morter [02563], and as the potter [03335] treadeth [07429] clay [02916]. 23 41 26 Who hath declared [05046] from the beginning [07218], that we may know [03045]? and beforetime [06440], that we may say [0559], He is righteous [06662]? yea, there is none that sheweth [05046], yea, there is none that declareth [08085], yea, there is none that heareth [08085] your words [0561]. 23 41 27 The first [07223] shall say to Zion [06726], Behold [02009], behold [02009] them: and I will give [05414] to Jerusalem [03389] one that bringeth good tidings [01319]. 23 41 28 For I beheld [07200], and there was no man [0376]; even among them, and there was no counsellor [03289], that, when I asked [07592] of them, could answer [07725] a word [01697]. 23 41 29 Behold, they are all vanity [0205]; their works [04639] are nothing [0657]: their molten images [05262] are wind [07307] and confusion [08414]. 23 42 1 Behold my servant [05650], whom I uphold [08551]; mine elect [0972], in whom my soul [05315] delighteth [07521]; I have put [05414] my spirit [07307] upon him: he shall bring forth [03318] judgment [04941] to the Gentiles [01471]. 23 42 2 He shall not cry [06817], nor lift up [05375], nor cause his voice [06963] to be heard [08085] in the street [02351]. 23 42 3 A bruised [07533] reed [07070] shall he not break [07665], and the smoking [03544] flax [06594] shall he not quench [03518]: he shall bring forth [03318] judgment [04941] unto truth [0571]. 23 42 4 He shall not fail [03543] nor be discouraged [07533], till he have set [07760] judgment [04941] in the earth [0776]: and the isles [0339] shall wait [03176] for his law [08451]. 23 42 5 Thus saith [0559] God [0410] the LORD [03068], he that created [01254] the heavens [08064], and stretched them out [05186]; he that spread forth [07554] the earth [0776], and that which cometh out [06631] of it; he that giveth [05414] breath [05397] unto the people [05971] upon it, and spirit [07307] to them that walk [01980] therein: 23 42 6 I the LORD [03068] have called [07121] thee in righteousness [06664], and will hold [02388] thine hand [03027], and will keep [05341] thee, and give [05414] thee for a covenant [01285] of the people [05971], for a light [0216] of the Gentiles [01471]; 23 42 7 To open [06491] the blind [05787] eyes [05869], to bring out [03318] the prisoners [0616] from the prison [04525], and them that sit [03427] in darkness [02822] out of the prison [03608] house [01004]. 23 42 8 I am the LORD [03068]: that is my name [08034]: and my glory [03519] will I not give [05414] to another [0312], neither my praise [08416] to graven images [06456]. 23 42 9 Behold, the former things [07223] are come to pass [0935], and new things [02319] do I declare [05046]: before they spring forth [06779] I tell [08085] you of them. 23 42 10 Sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068] a new [02319] song [07892], and his praise [08416] from the end [07097] of the earth [0776], ye that go down [03381] to the sea [03220], and all that is therein [04393]; the isles [0339], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof. 23 42 11 Let the wilderness [04057] and the cities [05892] thereof lift up [05375] their voice, the villages [02691] that Kedar [06938] doth inhabit [03427]: let the inhabitants [03427] of the rock [05553] sing [07442], let them shout [06681] from the top [07218] of the mountains [02022]. 23 42 12 Let them give [07760] glory [03519] unto the LORD [03068], and declare [05046] his praise [08416] in the islands [0339]. 23 42 13 The LORD [03068] shall go forth [03318] as a mighty man [01368], he shall stir up [05782] jealousy [07068] like a man [0376] of war [04421]: he shall cry [07321], yea, roar [06873]; he shall prevail [01396] against his enemies [0341]. 23 42 14 I have long time [05769] holden my peace [02814]; I have been still [02790], and refrained [0662] myself: now will I cry [06463] like a travailing woman [03205]; I will destroy [05395] [08074] and devour [07602] at once [03162]. 23 42 15 I will make waste [02717] mountains [02022] and hills [01389], and dry up [03001] all their herbs [06212]; and I will make [07760] the rivers [05104] islands [0339], and I will dry up [03001] the pools [098]. 23 42 16 And I will bring [03212] the blind [05787] by a way [01870] that they knew [03045] not; I will lead [01869] them in paths [05410] that they have not known [03045]: I will make [07760] darkness [04285] light [0216] before [06440] them, and crooked things [04625] straight [04334]. These things [01697] will I do [06213] unto them, and not forsake [05800] them. 23 42 17 They shall be turned [05472] back [0268], they shall be greatly [01322] ashamed [0954], that trust [0982] in graven images [06459], that say [0559] to the molten images [04541], Ye are our gods [0430]. 23 42 18 Hear [08085], ye deaf [02795]; and look [05027], ye blind [05787], that ye may see [07200]. 23 42 19 Who is blind [05787], but my servant [05650]? or deaf [02795], as my messenger [04397] that I sent [07971]? who is blind [05787] as he that is perfect [07999], and blind [05787] as the LORD'S [03068] servant [05650]? 23 42 20 Seeing [07200] [07200] many things [07227], but thou observest [08104] not; opening [06491] the ears [0241], but he heareth [08085] not. 23 42 21 The LORD [03068] is well pleased [02654] for his righteousness [06664]' sake; he will magnify [01431] the law [08451], and make it honourable [0142]. 23 42 22 But this is a people [05971] robbed [0962] and spoiled [08154]; they are all of them snared [06351] in holes [02352] [0970], and they are hid [02244] in prison [03608] houses [01004]: they are for a prey [0957], and none delivereth [05337]; for a spoil [04933], and none saith [0559], Restore [07725]. 23 42 23 Who among you will give ear [0238] to this? who will hearken [07181] and hear [08085] for the time to come [0268]? 23 42 24 Who gave [05414] Jacob [03290] for a spoil [04933] [04882], and Israel [03478] to the robbers [0962]? did not the LORD [03068], he against whom [02098] we have sinned [02398]? for they would [014] not walk [01980] in his ways [01870], neither were they obedient [08085] unto his law [08451]. 23 42 25 Therefore he hath poured [08210] upon him the fury [02534] of his anger [0639], and the strength [05807] of battle [04421]: and it hath set him on fire [03857] round about [05439], yet he knew [03045] not; and it burned [01197] him, yet he laid [07760] it not to heart [03820]. 23 43 1 But now thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that created [01254] thee, O Jacob [03290], and he that formed [03335] thee, O Israel [03478], Fear [03372] not: for I have redeemed [01350] thee, I have called [07121] thee by thy name [08034]; thou art mine. 23 43 2 When thou passest through [05674] the waters [04325], I will be with thee; and through the rivers [05104], they shall not overflow [07857] thee: when thou walkest [03212] through [01119] the fire [0784], thou shalt not be burned [03554]; neither shall the flame [03852] kindle [01197] upon thee. 23 43 3 For I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], thy Saviour [03467]: I gave [05414] Egypt [04714] for thy ransom [03724], Ethiopia [03568] and Seba [05434] for thee. 23 43 4 Since thou wast precious [03365] in my sight [05869], thou hast been honourable [03513], and I have loved [0157] thee: therefore will I give [05414] men [0120] for thee, and people [03816] for thy life [05315]. 23 43 5 Fear [03372] not: for I am with thee: I will bring [0935] thy seed [02233] from the east [04217], and gather [06908] thee from the west [04628]; 23 43 6 I will say [0559] to the north [06828], Give up [05414]; and to the south [08486], Keep not back [03607]: bring [0935] my sons [01121] from far [07350], and my daughters [01323] from the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]; 23 43 7 Even every one [03605] that is called [07121] by my name [08034]: for I have created [01254] him for my glory [03519], I have formed [03335] him; yea, I have made [06213] him. 23 43 8 Bring forth [03318] the blind [05787] people [05971] that have [03426] eyes [05869], and the deaf [02795] that have ears [0241]. 23 43 9 Let all the nations [01471] be gathered [06908] together [03162], and let the people [03816] be assembled [0622]: who among them can declare [05046] this, and shew [08085] us former things [07223]? let them bring forth [05414] their witnesses [05707], that they may be justified [06663]: or let them hear [08085], and say [0559], It is truth [0571]. 23 43 10 Ye are my witnesses [05707], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and my servant [05650] whom I have chosen [0977]: that ye may know [03045] and believe [0539] me, and understand [0995] that I am he: before [06440] me there was no God [0410] formed [03335], neither shall there be after [0310] me. 23 43 11 I, even I, am the LORD [03068]; and beside [01107] me there is no saviour [03467]. 23 43 12 I have declared [05046], and have saved [03467], and I have shewed [08085], when there was no strange [02114] god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses [05707], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I am God [0410]. 23 43 13 Yea, before the day [03117] was I am he; and there is none that can deliver [05337] out of my hand [03027]: I will work [06466], and who shall let [07725] it? 23 43 14 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], your redeemer [01350], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; For your sake I have sent [07971] to Babylon [0894], and have brought down [03381] all their nobles [01281], and the Chaldeans [03778], whose cry [07440] is in the ships [0591]. 23 43 15 I am the LORD [03068], your Holy One [06918], the creator [01254] of Israel [03478], your King [04428]. 23 43 16 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], which maketh [05414] a way [01870] in the sea [03220], and a path [05410] in the mighty [05794] waters [04325]; 23 43 17 Which bringeth forth [03318] the chariot [07393] and horse [05483], the army [02428] and the power [05808]; they shall lie down [07901] together [03162], they shall not rise [06965]: they are extinct [01846], they are quenched [03518] as tow [06594]. 23 43 18 Remember [02142] ye not the former things [07223], neither consider [0995] the things of old [06931]. 23 43 19 Behold, I will do [06213] a new thing [02319]; now it shall spring forth [06779]; shall ye not know [03045] it? I will even make [07760] a way [01870] in the wilderness [04057], and rivers [05104] in the desert [03452]. 23 43 20 The beast [02416] of the field [07704] shall honour [03513] me, the dragons [08577] and the owls [01323] [03284]: because I give [05414] waters [04325] in the wilderness [04057], and rivers [05104] in the desert [03452], to give drink [08248] to my people [05971], my chosen [0972]. 23 43 21 This [02098] people [05971] have I formed [03335] for myself; they shall shew forth [05608] my praise [08416]. 23 43 22 But thou hast not called [07121] upon me, O Jacob [03290]; but thou hast been weary [03021] of me, O Israel [03478]. 23 43 23 Thou hast not brought [0935] me the small cattle [07716] of thy burnt offerings [05930]; neither hast thou honoured [03513] me with thy sacrifices [02077]. I have not caused thee to serve [05647] with an offering [04503], nor wearied [03021] thee with incense [03828]. 23 43 24 Thou hast bought [07069] me no sweet cane [07070] with money [03701], neither hast thou filled [07301] me with the fat [02459] of thy sacrifices [02077]: but thou hast made me to serve [05647] with thy sins [02403], thou hast wearied [03021] me with thine iniquities [05771]. 23 43 25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out [04229] thy transgressions [06588] for mine own sake, and will not remember [02142] thy sins [02403]. 23 43 26 Put me in remembrance [02142]: let us plead [08199] together [03162]: declare [05608] thou, that thou mayest be justified [06663]. 23 43 27 Thy first [07223] father [01] hath sinned [02398], and thy teachers [03887] have transgressed [06586] against me. 23 43 28 Therefore I have profaned [02490] the princes [08269] of the sanctuary [06944], and have given [05414] Jacob [03290] to the curse [02764], and Israel [03478] to reproaches [01421]. 23 44 1 Yet now hear [08085], O Jacob [03290] my servant [05650]; and Israel [03478], whom I have chosen [0977]: 23 44 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that made [06213] thee, and formed [03335] thee from the womb [0990], which will help [05826] thee; Fear [03372] not, O Jacob [03290], my servant [05650]; and thou, Jesurun [03484], whom I have chosen [0977]. 23 44 3 For I will pour [03332] water [04325] upon him that is thirsty [06771], and floods [05140] upon the dry ground [03004]: I will pour [03332] my spirit [07307] upon thy seed [02233], and my blessing [01293] upon thine offspring [06631]: 23 44 4 And they shall spring up [06779] as among [0996] the grass [02682], as willows [06155] by the water [04325] courses [02988]. 23 44 5 One shall say [0559], I am the LORD'S [03068]; and another shall call [07121] himself by the name [08034] of Jacob [03290]; and another shall subscribe [03789] with his hand [03027] unto the LORD [03068], and surname [03655] himself by the name [08034] of Israel [03478]. 23 44 6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] the King [04428] of Israel [03478], and his redeemer [01350] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; I am the first [07223], and I am the last [0314]; and beside [01107] me there is no God [0430]. 23 44 7 And who, as I, shall call [07121], and shall declare [05046] it, and set it in order [06186] for me, since I appointed [07760] the ancient [05769] people [05971]? and the things that are coming [0857], and shall come [0935], let them shew [05046] unto them. 23 44 8 Fear [06342] ye not, neither be afraid [07297] [07297]: have not I told [08085] thee from that time [0227], and have declared [05046] it? ye are even my witnesses [05707]. Is there [03426] a God [0433] beside [01107] me? yea, there is no God [06697]; I know [03045] not any. 23 44 9 They that make [03335] a graven image [06459] are all of them vanity [08414]; and their delectable things [02530] shall not profit [03276]; and they are their own witnesses [05707]; they see [07200] not, nor know [03045]; that they may be ashamed [0954]. 23 44 10 Who hath formed [03335] a god [0410], or molten [05258] a graven image [06459] that is profitable [03276] for nothing [01115]? 23 44 11 Behold, all his fellows [02270] shall be ashamed [0954]: and the workmen [02796], they are of men [0120]: let them all be gathered together [06908], let them stand up [05975]; yet they shall fear [06342], and they shall be ashamed [0954] together [03162]. 23 44 12 The smith [01270] [02796] with the tongs [04621] both worketh [06466] in the coals [06352], and fashioneth [03335] it with hammers [04717], and worketh [06466] it with the strength [03581] of his arms [02220]: yea, he is hungry [07457], and his strength [03581] faileth [0369]: he drinketh [08354] no water [04325], and is faint [03286]. 23 44 13 The carpenter [02796] [06086] stretcheth out [05186] his rule [06957]; he marketh it out [08388] with a line [08279]; he fitteth [06213] it with planes [04741], and he marketh it out [08388] with the compass [04230], and maketh [06213] it after the figure [08403] of a man [0376], according to the beauty [08597] of a man [0120]; that it may remain [03427] in the house [01004]. 23 44 14 He heweth him down [03772] cedars [0730], and taketh [03947] the cypress [08645] and the oak [0437], which he strengtheneth [0553] for himself among the trees [06086] of the forest [03293]: he planteth [05193] an ash [0766], and the rain [01653] doth nourish [01431] it. 23 44 15 Then shall it be for a man [0120] to burn [01197]: for he will take [03947] thereof, and warm [02552] himself; yea, he kindleth [05400] it, and baketh [0644] bread [03899]; yea, he maketh [06466] a god [0410], and worshippeth [07812] it; he maketh [06213] it a graven image [06459], and falleth down [05456] thereto. 23 44 16 He burneth [08313] part [02677] thereof in [01119] the fire [0784]; with part [02677] thereof he eateth [0398] flesh [01320]; he roasteth [06740] roast [06748], and is satisfied [07646]: yea, he warmeth [02552] himself, and saith [0559], Aha [01889], I am warm [02552], I have seen [07200] the fire [0217]: 23 44 17 And the residue [07611] thereof he maketh [06213] a god [0410], even his graven image [06459]: he falleth down [05456] unto it, and worshippeth [07812] it, and prayeth [06419] unto it, and saith [0559], Deliver [05337] me; for thou art my god [0410]. 23 44 18 They have not known [03045] nor understood [0995]: for he hath shut [02902] their eyes [05869], that they cannot see [07200]; and their hearts [03826], that they cannot understand [07919]. 23 44 19 And none considereth [07725] in his heart [03820], neither is there knowledge [01847] nor understanding [08394] to say [0559], I have burned [08313] part [02677] of it in [01119] the fire [0784]; yea, also I have baked [0644] bread [03899] upon the coals [01513] thereof; I have roasted [06740] flesh [01320], and eaten [0398] it: and shall I make [06213] the residue [03499] thereof an abomination [08441]? shall I fall down [05456] to the stock [0944] of a tree [06086]? 23 44 20 He feedeth [07462] on ashes [0665]: a deceived [02048] heart [03820] hath turned him aside [05186], that he cannot deliver [05337] his soul [05315], nor say [0559], Is there not a lie [08267] in my right hand [03225]? 23 44 21 Remember [02142] these, O Jacob [03290] and Israel [03478]; for thou art my servant [05650]: I have formed [03335] thee; thou art my servant [05650]: O Israel [03478], thou shalt not be forgotten [05382] of me. 23 44 22 I have blotted out [04229], as a thick cloud [05645], thy transgressions [06588], and, as a cloud [06051], thy sins [02403]: return [07725] unto me; for I have redeemed [01350] thee. 23 44 23 Sing [07442], O ye heavens [08064]; for the LORD [03068] hath done [06213] it: shout [07321], ye lower parts [08482] of the earth [0776]: break forth [06476] into singing [07440], ye mountains [02022], O forest [03293], and every tree [06086] therein: for the LORD [03068] hath redeemed [01350] Jacob [03290], and glorified [06286] himself in Israel [03478]. 23 44 24 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], thy redeemer [01350], and he that formed [03335] thee from the womb [0990], I am the LORD [03068] that maketh [06213] all things; that stretcheth forth [05186] the heavens [08064] alone; that spreadeth abroad [07554] the earth [0776] by myself; 23 44 25 That frustrateth [06565] the tokens [0226] of the liars [0907], and maketh diviners [07080] mad [01984]; that turneth [07725] wise [02450] men backward [0268], and maketh their knowledge [01847] foolish [05528]; 23 44 26 That confirmeth [06965] the word [01697] of his servant [05650], and performeth [07999] the counsel [06098] of his messengers [04397]; that saith [0559] to Jerusalem [03389], Thou shalt be inhabited [03427]; and to the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], Ye shall be built [01129], and I will raise up [06965] the decayed places [02723] thereof: 23 44 27 That saith [0559] to the deep [06683], Be dry [02717], and I will dry up [03001] thy rivers [05104]: 23 44 28 That saith [0559] of Cyrus [03566], He is my shepherd [07462], and shall perform [07999] all my pleasure [02656]: even saying [0559] to Jerusalem [03389], Thou shalt be built [01129]; and to the temple [01964], Thy foundation shall be laid [03245]. 23 45 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] to his anointed [04899], to Cyrus [03566], whose right hand [03225] I have holden [02388], to subdue [07286] nations [01471] before [06440] him; and I will loose [06605] the loins [04975] of kings [04428], to open [06605] before [06440] him the two leaved gates [01817]; and the gates [08179] shall not be shut [05462]; 23 45 2 I will go [03212] before [06440] thee, and make [03474] the crooked places [01921] straight [03474] [03474]: I will break in pieces [07665] the gates [01817] of brass [05154], and cut in sunder [01438] the bars [01280] of iron [01270]: 23 45 3 And I will give [05414] thee the treasures [0214] of darkness [02822], and hidden riches [04301] of secret places [04565], that thou mayest know [03045] that I, the LORD [03068], which call [07121] thee by thy name [08034], am the God [0430] of Israel [03478]. 23 45 4 For Jacob [03290] my servant's [05650] sake, and Israel [03478] mine elect [0972], I have even called [07121] thee by thy name [08034]: I have surnamed [03655] thee, though thou hast not known [03045] me. 23 45 5 I am the LORD [03068], and there is none else, there is no God [0430] beside [02108] me: I girded [0247] thee, though thou hast not known [03045] me: 23 45 6 That they may know [03045] from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121], and from the west [04628], that there is none [0657] beside [01107] me. I am the LORD [03068], and there is none else. 23 45 7 I form [03335] the light [0216], and create [01254] darkness [02822]: I make [06213] peace [07965], and create [01254] evil [07451]: I the LORD [03068] do [06213] all these things. 23 45 8 Drop down [07491], ye heavens [08064], from above [04605], and let the skies [07834] pour down [05140] righteousness [06664]: let the earth [0776] open [06605], and let them bring forth [06509] salvation [03468], and let righteousness [06666] spring up [06779] together [03162]; I the LORD [03068] have created [01254] it. 23 45 9 Woe [01945] unto him that striveth [07378] with his Maker [03335] ! Let the potsherd [02789] strive with the potsherds [02789] of the earth [0127]. Shall the clay [02563] say [0559] to him that fashioneth [03335] it, What makest [06213] thou? or thy work [06467], He hath no hands [03027]? 23 45 10 Woe [01945] unto him that saith [0559] unto his father [01], What begettest [03205] thou? or to the woman [0802], What hast thou brought forth [02342]? 23 45 11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], and his Maker [03335], Ask [07592] me of things to come [0857] concerning my sons [01121], and concerning the work [06467] of my hands [03027] command [06680] ye me. 23 45 12 I have made [06213] the earth [0776], and created [01254] man [0120] upon it: I, even my hands [03027], have stretched out [05186] the heavens [08064], and all their host [06635] have I commanded [06680]. 23 45 13 I have raised him up [05782] in righteousness [06664], and I will direct [03474] all his ways [01870]: he shall build [01129] my city [05892], and he shall let go [07971] my captives [01546], not for price [04242] nor reward [07810], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 23 45 14 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], The labour [03018] of Egypt [04714], and merchandise [05505] of Ethiopia [03568] and of the Sabeans [05436], men [0582] of stature [04060], shall come over [05674] unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come [03212] after [0310] thee; in chains [02131] they shall come over [05674], and they shall fall down [07812] unto thee, they shall make supplication [06419] unto thee, saying, Surely God [0410] is in thee; and there is none else, there is no [0657] God [0430]. 23 45 15 Verily [0403] thou art a God [0410] that hidest [05641] thyself, O God [0430] of Israel [03478], the Saviour [03467]. 23 45 16 They shall be ashamed [0954], and also confounded [03637], all of them: they shall go [01980] to confusion [03639] together [03162] that are makers [02796] of idols [06736]. 23 45 17 But Israel [03478] shall be saved [03467] in the LORD [03068] with an everlasting [05769] salvation [08668]: ye shall not be ashamed [0954] nor confounded [03637] world [05769] without end [05703]. 23 45 18 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that created [01254] the heavens [08064]; God [0430] himself that formed [03335] the earth [0776] and made [06213] it; he hath established [03559] it, he created [01254] it not in vain [08414], he formed [03335] it to be inhabited [03427]: I am the LORD [03068]; and there is none else. 23 45 19 I have not spoken [01696] in secret [05643], in a dark [02822] place [04725] of the earth [0776]: I said [0559] not unto the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], Seek [01245] ye me in vain [08414]: I the LORD [03068] speak [01696] righteousness [06664], I declare [05046] things that are right [04339]. 23 45 20 Assemble [06908] yourselves and come [0935]; draw near [05066] together [03162], ye that are escaped [06412] of the nations [01471]: they have no knowledge [03045] that set up [05375] the wood [06086] of their graven image [06459], and pray [06419] unto a god [0410] that cannot save [03467]. 23 45 21 Tell [05046] ye, and bring them near [05066]; yea, let them take counsel [03289] together [03162]: who hath declared [08085] this from ancient time [06924]? who hath told [05046] it from that time? have not I the LORD [03068]? and there is no God [0430] else beside [01107] me; a just [06662] God [0410] and a Saviour [03467]; there is none [0369] beside [02108] me. 23 45 22 Look [06437] unto me, and be ye saved [03467], all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]: for I am God [0410], and there is none else. 23 45 23 I have sworn [07650] by myself, the word [01697] is gone out [03318] of my mouth [06310] in righteousness [06666], and shall not return [07725], That unto me every knee [01290] shall bow [03766], every tongue [03956] shall swear [07650]. 23 45 24 Surely, shall one say [0559], in the LORD [03068] have I righteousness [06666] and strength [05797]: even to him shall men come [0935]; and all that are incensed [02734] against him shall be ashamed [0954]. 23 45 25 In the LORD [03068] shall all the seed [02233] of Israel [03478] be justified [06663], and shall glory [01984]. 23 46 1 Bel [01078] boweth down [03766], Nebo [05015] stoopeth [07164], their idols [06091] were upon the beasts [02416], and upon the cattle [0929]: your carriages [05385] were heavy loaden [06006]; they are a burden [04853] to the weary [05889] beast. 23 46 2 They stoop [07164], they bow down [03766] together [03162]; they could [03201] not deliver [04422] the burden [04853], but themselves [05315] are gone [01980] into captivity [07628]. 23 46 3 Hearken [08085] unto me, O house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and all the remnant [07611] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], which are borne [06006] by me from the belly [0990], which are carried [05375] from the womb [07356]: 23 46 4 And even to your old age [02209] I am he; and even to hoar hairs [07872] will I carry [05445] you: I have made [06213], and I will bear [05375]; even I will carry [05445], and will deliver [04422] you. 23 46 5 To whom will ye liken [01819] me, and make me equal [07737], and compare [04911] me, that we may be like [01819]? 23 46 6 They lavish [02107] gold [02091] out of the bag [03599], and weigh [08254] silver [03701] in the balance [07070], and hire [07936] a goldsmith [06884]; and he maketh [06213] it a god [0410]: they fall down [05456], yea, they worship [07812]. 23 46 7 They bear [05375] him upon the shoulder [03802], they carry [05445] him, and set him in his place [03240], and he standeth [05975]; from his place [04725] shall he not remove [04185]: yea, one shall cry [06817] unto him, yet can he not answer [06030], nor save [03467] him out of his trouble [06869]. 23 46 8 Remember [02142] this, and shew yourselves men [0377]: bring it again [07725] to mind [03820], O ye transgressors [06586]. 23 46 9 Remember [02142] the former things [07223] of old [05769]: for I am God [0410], and there is none else; I am God [0430], and there is none [0657] like [03644] me, 23 46 10 Declaring [05046] the end [0319] from the beginning [07225], and from ancient times [06924] the things that are not yet done [06213], saying [0559], My counsel [06098] shall stand [06965], and I will do [06213] all my pleasure [02656]: 23 46 11 Calling [07121] a ravenous bird [05861] from the east [04217], the man [0376] that executeth my counsel [06098] from a far [04801] country [0776]: yea, I have spoken [01696] it, I will also bring [0935] it to pass; I have purposed [03335] it, I will also do [06213] it. 23 46 12 Hearken [08085] unto me, ye stouthearted [047] [03820], that are far from [07350] righteousness [06666]: 23 46 13 I bring near [07126] my righteousness [06666]; it shall not be far off [07368], and my salvation [08668] shall not tarry [0309]: and I will place [05414] salvation [08668] in Zion [06726] for Israel [03478] my glory [08597]. 23 47 1 Come down [03381], and sit [03427] in the dust [06083], O virgin [01330] daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894], sit [03427] on the ground [0776]: there is no throne [03678], O daughter [01323] of the Chaldeans [03778]: for thou shalt no more [03254] be called [07121] tender [07390] and delicate [06028]. 23 47 2 Take [03947] the millstones [07347], and grind [02912] meal [07058]: uncover [01540] thy locks [06777], make bare [02834] the leg [07640], uncover [01540] the thigh [07785], pass over [05674] the rivers [05104]. 23 47 3 Thy nakedness [06172] shall be uncovered [01540], yea, thy shame [02781] shall be seen [07200]: I will take [03947] vengeance [05359], and I will not meet [06293] thee as a man [0120]. 23 47 4 As for our redeemer [01350], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 47 5 Sit [03427] thou silent [01748], and get [0935] thee into darkness [02822], O daughter [01323] of the Chaldeans [03778]: for thou shalt no more [03254] be called [07121], The lady [01404] of kingdoms [04467]. 23 47 6 I was wroth [07107] with my people [05971], I have polluted [02490] mine inheritance [05159], and given [05414] them into thine hand [03027]: thou didst shew [07760] them no mercy [07356]; upon the ancient [02205] hast thou very [03966] heavily [03513] laid thy yoke [05923]. 23 47 7 And thou saidst [0559], I shall be a lady [01404] for ever [05769]: so that thou didst not lay [07760] these things to thy heart [03820], neither didst remember [02142] the latter end [0319] of it. 23 47 8 Therefore hear [08085] now this, thou that art given to pleasures [05719], that dwellest [03427] carelessly [0983], that sayest [0559] in thine heart [03824], I am, and none else [0657] beside me; I shall not sit [03427] as a widow [0490], neither shall I know [03045] the loss of children [07908]: 23 47 9 But these two [08147] things shall come [0935] to thee in a moment [07281] in one [0259] day [03117], the loss of children [07908], and widowhood [0489]: they shall come [0935] upon thee in their perfection [08537] for the multitude [07230] of thy sorceries [03785], and for the great [03966] abundance [06109] of thine enchantments [02267]. 23 47 10 For thou hast trusted [0982] in thy wickedness [07451]: thou hast said [0559], None seeth [07200] me. Thy wisdom [02451] and thy knowledge [01847], it hath perverted [07725] thee; and thou hast said [0559] in thine heart [03820], I am, and none else [0657] beside me. 23 47 11 Therefore shall evil [07451] come [0935] upon thee; thou shalt not know [03045] from whence it riseth [07837]: and mischief [01943] shall fall [05307] upon thee; thou shalt not be able [03201] to put it off [03722]: and desolation [07722] shall come [0935] upon thee suddenly [06597], which thou shalt not know [03045]. 23 47 12 Stand [05975] now with thine enchantments [02267], and with the multitude [07230] of thy sorceries [03785], wherein [0834] thou hast laboured [03021] from thy youth [05271]; if so be thou shalt be able [03201] to profit [03276], if so be thou mayest prevail [06206]. 23 47 13 Thou art wearied [03811] in the multitude [07230] of thy counsels [06098]. Let now the astrologers [01895] [08064], the stargazers [02374] [03556], the monthly [02320] prognosticators [03045], stand up [05975], and save [03467] thee from these things that shall come [0935] upon thee. 23 47 14 Behold, they shall be as stubble [07179]; the fire [0784] shall burn [08313] them; they shall not deliver [05337] themselves [05315] from the power [03027] of the flame [03852]: there shall not be a coal [01513] to warm [02552] at, nor fire [0217] to sit [03427] before it. 23 47 15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured [03021], even thy merchants [05503], from thy youth [05271]: they shall wander [08582] every one [0376] to his quarter [05676]; none shall save [03467] thee. 23 48 1 Hear [08085] ye this, O house [01004] of Jacob [03290], which are called [07121] by the name [08034] of Israel [03478], and are come forth [03318] out of the waters [04325] of Judah [03063], which swear [07650] by the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and make mention [02142] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478], but not in truth [0571], nor in righteousness [06666]. 23 48 2 For they call [07121] themselves of the holy [06944] city [05892], and stay [05564] themselves upon the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]. 23 48 3 I have declared [05046] the former things [07223] from the beginning [0227]; and they went forth [03318] out of my mouth [06310], and I shewed [08085] them; I did [06213] them suddenly [06597], and they came to pass [0935]. 23 48 4 Because I knew [01847] that thou art obstinate [07186], and thy neck [06203] is an iron [01270] sinew [01517], and thy brow [04696] brass [05154]; 23 48 5 I have even from the beginning [0227] declared [05046] it to thee; before it came to pass [0935] I shewed [08085] it thee: lest thou shouldest say [0559], Mine idol [06090] hath done [06213] them, and my graven image [06459], and my molten image [05262], hath commanded [06680] them. 23 48 6 Thou hast heard [08085], see [02372] all this; and will not ye declare [05046] it? I have shewed [08085] thee new things [02319] from this time [06258], even hidden things [05341], and thou didst not know [03045] them. 23 48 7 They are created [01254] now, and not from the beginning; even before [06440] the day [03117] when thou heardest [08085] them not; lest thou shouldest say [0559], Behold, I knew [03045] them. 23 48 8 Yea, thou heardest [08085] not; yea, thou knewest [03045] not; yea, from that time that thine ear [0241] was not opened [06605]: for I knew [03045] that thou wouldest deal very [0898] treacherously [0898], and wast called [07121] a transgressor [06586] from the womb [0990]. 23 48 9 For my name's [08034] sake will I defer [0748] mine anger [0639], and for my praise [08416] will I refrain [02413] for thee, that I cut thee not off [03772]. 23 48 10 Behold, I have refined [06884] thee, but not with silver [03701]; I have chosen [0977] thee in the furnace [03564] of affliction [06040]. 23 48 11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do [06213] it: for how should my name be polluted [02490]? and I will not give [05414] my glory [03519] unto another [0312]. 23 48 12 Hearken [08085] unto me, O Jacob [03290] and Israel [03478], my called [07121]; I am he; I am the first [07223], I also am the last [0314]. 23 48 13 Mine hand [03027] also hath laid the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776], and my right hand [03225] hath spanned [02946] the heavens [08064]: when I call [07121] unto them, they stand up [05975] together [03162]. 23 48 14 All ye, assemble [06908] yourselves, and hear [08085]; which among them hath declared [05046] these things? The LORD [03068] hath loved [0157] him: he will do [06213] his pleasure [02656] on Babylon [0894], and his arm [02220] shall be on the Chaldeans [03778]. 23 48 15 I, even I, have spoken [01696]; yea, I have called [07121] him: I have brought [0935] him, and he shall make his way [01870] prosperous [06743]. 23 48 16 Come [07126] ye near [07126] unto me, hear [08085] ye this; I have not spoken [01696] in secret [05643] from the beginning [07218]; from the time [06256] that it was, there am I: and now the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and his Spirit [07307], hath sent [07971] me. 23 48 17 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], thy Redeemer [01350], the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] which teacheth [03925] thee to profit [03276], which leadeth [01869] thee by the way [01870] that thou shouldest go [03212]. 23 48 18 O that [03863] thou hadst hearkened [07181] to my commandments [04687]! then had thy peace [07965] been as a river [05104], and thy righteousness [06666] as the waves [01530] of the sea [03220]: 23 48 19 Thy seed [02233] also had been as the sand [02344], and the offspring [06631] of thy bowels [04578] like the gravel [04579] thereof; his name [08034] should not have been cut off [03772] nor destroyed [08045] from before [06440] me. 23 48 20 Go ye forth [03318] of Babylon [0894], flee [01272] ye from the Chaldeans [03778], with a voice [06963] of singing [07440] declare [05046] ye, tell [08085] this, utter [03318] it even to the end [07097] of the earth [0776]; say [0559] ye, The LORD [03068] hath redeemed [01350] his servant [05650] Jacob [03290]. 23 48 21 And they thirsted [06770] not when he led [03212] them through the deserts [02723]: he caused the waters [04325] to flow [05140] out of the rock [06697] for them: he clave [01234] the rock [06697] also, and the waters [04325] gushed out [02100]. 23 48 22 There is no peace [07965], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], unto the wicked [07563]. 23 49 1 Listen [08085], O isles [0339], unto me; and hearken [07181], ye people [03816], from far [07350]; The LORD [03068] hath called [07121] me from the womb [0990]; from the bowels [04578] of my mother [0517] hath he made mention [02142] of my name [08034]. 23 49 2 And he hath made [07760] my mouth [06310] like a sharp [02299] sword [02719]; in the shadow [06738] of his hand [03027] hath he hid [02244] me, and made [07760] me a polished [01305] shaft [02671]; in his quiver [0827] hath he hid [05641] me; 23 49 3 And said [0559] unto me, Thou art my servant [05650], O Israel [03478], in whom I will be glorified [06286]. 23 49 4 Then I said [0559], I have laboured [03021] in vain [07385], I have spent [03615] my strength [03581] for nought [08414], and in vain [01892]: yet surely [0403] my judgment [04941] is with the LORD [03068], and my work [06468] with my God [0430]. 23 49 5 And now, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that formed [03335] me from the womb [0990] to be his servant [05650], to bring [07725] Jacob [03290] again [07725] to him, Though Israel [03478] be not gathered [0622], yet shall I be glorious [03513] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], and my God [0430] shall be my strength [05797]. 23 49 6 And he said [0559], It is a light thing [07043] that thou shouldest be my servant [05650] to raise up [06965] the tribes [07626] of Jacob [03290], and to restore [07725] the preserved [05341] [05336] of Israel [03478]: I will also give [05414] thee for a light [0216] to the Gentiles [01471], that thou mayest be my salvation [03444] unto the end [07097] of the earth [0776]. 23 49 7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the Redeemer [01350] of Israel [03478], and his Holy One [06918], to him whom man [05315] despiseth [0960], to him whom the nation [01471] abhorreth [08581], to a servant [05650] of rulers [04910], Kings [04428] shall see [07200] and arise [06965], princes [08269] also shall worship [07812], because of the LORD [03068] that is faithful [0539], and the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], and he shall choose [0977] thee. 23 49 8 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], In an acceptable [07522] time [06256] have I heard [06030] thee, and in a day [03117] of salvation [03444] have I helped [05826] thee: and I will preserve [05341] thee, and give [05414] thee for a covenant [01285] of the people [05971], to establish [06965] the earth [0776], to cause to inherit [05157] the desolate [08074] heritages [05159]; 23 49 9 That thou mayest say [0559] to the prisoners [0631], Go forth [03318]; to them that are in darkness [02822], Shew [01540] yourselves. They shall feed [07462] in the ways [01870], and their pastures [04830] shall be in all high places [08205]. 23 49 10 They shall not hunger [07456] nor thirst [06770]; neither shall the heat [08273] nor sun [08121] smite [05221] them: for he that hath mercy [07355] on them shall lead [05090] them, even by the springs [04002] of water [04325] shall he guide [05095] them. 23 49 11 And I will make [07760] all my mountains [02022] a way [01870], and my highways [04546] shall be exalted [07311]. 23 49 12 Behold, these shall come [0935] from far [07350]: and, lo, these from the north [06828] and from the west [03220]; and these from the land [0776] of Sinim [05515]. 23 49 13 Sing [07442], O heavens [08064]; and be joyful [01523], O earth [0776]; and break forth [06476] into singing [07440], O mountains [02022]: for the LORD [03068] hath comforted [05162] his people [05971], and will have mercy [07355] upon his afflicted [06041]. 23 49 14 But Zion [06726] said [0559], The LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05800] me, and my Lord [0136] hath forgotten [07911] me. 23 49 15 Can a woman [0802] forget [07911] her sucking child [05764], that she should not have compassion [07355] on the son [01121] of her womb [0990]? yea, they may forget [07911], yet will I not forget [07911] thee. 23 49 16 Behold, I have graven [02710] thee upon the palms of my hands [03709]; thy walls [02346] are continually [08548] before me. 23 49 17 Thy children [01121] shall make haste [04116]; thy destroyers [02040] and they that made thee waste [02717] shall go forth [03318] of thee. 23 49 18 Lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] round about [05439], and behold [07200]: all these gather themselves together [06908], and come [0935] to thee. As I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], thou shalt surely clothe [03847] thee with them all, as with an ornament [05716], and bind [07194] them on thee, as a bride [03618] doeth. 23 49 19 For thy waste [02723] and thy desolate places [08074], and the land [0776] of thy destruction [02035], shall even now be too narrow [03334] by reason of the inhabitants [03427], and they that swallowed thee up [01104] shall be far away [07368]. 23 49 20 The children [01121] which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost [07923] the other, shall say [0559] again in thine ears [0241], The place [04725] is too strait [06862] for me: give [05066] place [04725] to me that I may dwell [03427]. 23 49 21 Then shalt thou say [0559] in thine heart [03824], Who hath begotten [03205] me these, seeing I have lost my children [07921], and am desolate [01565], a captive [01540], and removing to and fro [05493]? and who hath brought up [01431] these? Behold, I was left [07604] alone; these, where [0375] had they been? 23 49 22 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Behold, I will lift up [05375] mine hand [03027] to the Gentiles [01471], and set up [07311] my standard [05251] to the people [05971]: and they shall bring [0935] thy sons [01121] in their arms [02684], and thy daughters [01323] shall be carried [05375] upon their shoulders [03802]. 23 49 23 And kings [04428] shall be thy nursing fathers [0539], and their queens [08282] thy nursing mothers [03243]: they shall bow down [07812] to thee with their face [0639] toward the earth [0776], and lick up [03897] the dust [06083] of thy feet [07272]; and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]: for they shall not be ashamed [0954] that wait [06960] for me. 23 49 24 Shall the prey [04455] be taken [03947] from the mighty [01368], or the lawful [06662] captive [07628] delivered [04422]? 23 49 25 But thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Even the captives [07628] of the mighty [01368] shall be taken away [03947], and the prey [04455] of the terrible [06184] shall be delivered [04422]: for I will contend [07378] with him that contendeth [03401] with thee, and I will save [03467] thy children [01121]. 23 49 26 And I will feed [0398] them that oppress [03238] thee with their own flesh [01320]; and they shall be drunken [07937] with their own blood [01818], as with sweet wine [06071]: and all flesh [01320] shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] am thy Saviour [03467] and thy Redeemer [01350], the mighty One [046] of Jacob [03290]. 23 50 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Where is the bill [05612] of your mother's [0517] divorcement [03748], whom I have put away [07971]? or which of my creditors [05383] is it to whom I have sold [04376] you? Behold, for your iniquities [05771] have ye sold [04376] yourselves, and for your transgressions [06588] is your mother [0517] put away [07971]. 23 50 2 Wherefore, when I came [0935], was there no man [0376]? when I called [07121], was there none to answer [06030]? Is my hand [03027] shortened [07114] at all [07114], that it cannot redeem [06304]? or have I no power [03581] to deliver [05337]? behold, at my rebuke [01606] I dry up [02717] the sea [03220], I make [07760] the rivers [05104] a wilderness [04057]: their fish [01710] stinketh [0887], because there is no water [04325], and dieth [04191] for thirst [06772]. 23 50 3 I clothe [03847] the heavens [08064] with blackness [06940], and I make [07760] sackcloth [08242] their covering [03682]. 23 50 4 The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] hath given [05414] me the tongue [03956] of the learned [03928], that I should know [03045] how to speak [05790] a word [01697] in season to him that is weary [03287]: he wakeneth [05782] morning [01242] by morning [01242], he wakeneth [05782] mine ear [0241] to hear [08085] as the learned [03928]. 23 50 5 The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] hath opened [06605] mine ear [0241], and I was not rebellious [04784], neither turned away [05472] back [0268]. 23 50 6 I gave [05414] my back [01460] to the smiters [05221], and my cheeks [03895] to them that plucked off [04803] the hair: I hid [05641] not my face [06440] from shame [03639] and spitting [07536]. 23 50 7 For the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will help [05826] me; therefore shall I not be confounded [03637]: therefore have I set [07760] my face [06440] like a flint [02496], and I know [03045] that I shall not be ashamed [0954]. 23 50 8 He is near [07138] that justifieth [06663] me; who will contend [07378] with me? let us stand [05975] together [03162]: who is mine adversary [01167] [04941]? let him come near [05066] to me. 23 50 9 Behold, the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will help [05826] me; who is he that shall condemn [07561] me? lo, they all shall wax old [01086] as a garment [0899]; the moth [06211] shall eat them up [0398]. 23 50 10 Who is among you that feareth [03373] the LORD [03068], that obeyeth [08085] the voice [06963] of his servant [05650], that walketh [01980] in darkness [02825], and hath no light [05051]? let him trust [0982] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and stay [08172] upon his God [0430]. 23 50 11 Behold, all ye that kindle [06919] a fire [0784], that compass yourselves about [0247] with sparks [02131]: walk [03212] in the light [0217] of your fire [0784], and in the sparks [02131] that ye have kindled [01197]. This shall ye have of mine hand [03027]; ye shall lie down [07901] in sorrow [04620]. 23 51 1 Hearken [08085] to me, ye that follow after [07291] righteousness [06664], ye that seek [01245] the LORD [03068]: look [05027] unto the rock [06697] whence ye are hewn [02672], and to the hole [04718] of the pit [0953] whence ye are digged [05365]. 23 51 2 Look [05027] unto Abraham [085] your father [01], and unto Sarah [08283] that bare [02342] you: for I called [07121] him alone [0259], and blessed [01288] him, and increased [07235] him. 23 51 3 For the LORD [03068] shall comfort [05162] Zion [06726]: he will comfort [05162] all her waste places [02723]; and he will make [07760] her wilderness [04057] like Eden [05731], and her desert [06160] like the garden [01588] of the LORD [03068]; joy [08342] and gladness [08057] shall be found [04672] therein, thanksgiving [08426], and the voice [06963] of melody [02172]. 23 51 4 Hearken [07181] unto me, my people [05971]; and give ear [0238] unto me, O my nation [03816]: for a law [08451] shall proceed [03318] from me, and I will make my judgment [04941] to rest [07280] for a light [0216] of the people [05971]. 23 51 5 My righteousness [06664] is near [07138]; my salvation [03468] is gone forth [03318], and mine arms [02220] shall judge [08199] the people [05971]; the isles [0339] shall wait [06960] upon me, and on mine arm [02220] shall they trust [03176]. 23 51 6 Lift up [05375] your eyes [05869] to the heavens [08064], and look [05027] upon the earth [0776] beneath: for the heavens [08064] shall vanish away [04414] like smoke [06227], and the earth [0776] shall wax old [01086] like a garment [0899], and they that dwell [03427] therein shall die [04191] in like [03644] manner [03654]: but my salvation [03444] shall be for ever [05769], and my righteousness [06666] shall not be abolished [02865]. 23 51 7 Hearken [08085] unto me, ye that know [03045] righteousness [06664], the people [05971] in whose heart [03820] is my law [08451]; fear [03372] ye not the reproach [02781] of men [0582], neither be ye afraid [02865] of their revilings [01421]. 23 51 8 For the moth [06211] shall eat them up [0398] like a garment [0899], and the worm [05580] shall eat [0398] them like wool [06785]: but my righteousness [06666] shall be for ever [05769], and my salvation [03444] from generation [01755] to generation [01755]. 23 51 9 Awake [05782], awake [05782], put on [03847] strength [05797], O arm [02220] of the LORD [03068]; awake [05782], as in the ancient [06924] days [03117], in the generations [01755] of old [05769]. Art thou not it that hath cut [02672] Rahab [07294], and wounded [02490] the dragon [08577]? 23 51 10 Art thou not it which hath dried [02717] the sea [03220], the waters [04325] of the great [07227] deep [08415]; that hath made [07760] the depths [04615] of the sea [03220] a way [01870] for the ransomed [01350] to pass over [05674]? 23 51 11 Therefore the redeemed [06299] of the LORD [03068] shall return [07725], and come [0935] with singing [07440] unto Zion [06726]; and everlasting [05769] joy [08057] shall be upon their head [07218]: they shall obtain [05381] gladness [08342] and joy [08057]; and sorrow [03015] and mourning [0585] shall flee away [05127]. 23 51 12 I, even I, am he that comforteth [05162] you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid [03372] of a man [0582] that shall die [04191], and of the son [01121] of man [0120] which shall be made [05414] as grass [02682]; 23 51 13 And forgettest [07911] the LORD [03068] thy maker [06213], that hath stretched forth [05186] the heavens [08064], and laid the foundations [03245] of the earth [0776]; and hast feared [06342] continually [08548] every day [03117] because [06440] of the fury [02534] of the oppressor [06693], as if [0834] he were ready [03559] to destroy [07843]? and where is the fury [02534] of the oppressor [06693]? 23 51 14 The captive exile [06808] hasteneth [04116] that he may be loosed [06605], and that he should not die [04191] in the pit [07845], nor that his bread [03899] should fail [02637]. 23 51 15 But I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], that divided [07280] the sea [03220], whose waves [01530] roared [01993]: The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]. 23 51 16 And I have put [07760] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310], and I have covered [03680] thee in the shadow [06738] of mine hand [03027], that I may plant [05193] the heavens [08064], and lay the foundations [03245] of the earth [0776], and say [0559] unto Zion [06726], Thou art my people [05971]. 23 51 17 Awake [05782], awake [05782], stand up [06965], O Jerusalem [03389], which hast drunk [08354] at the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] the cup [03563] of his fury [02534]; thou hast drunken [08354] the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], and wrung them out [04680]. 23 51 18 There is none to guide [05095] her among all the sons [01121] whom she hath brought forth [03205]; neither is there any that taketh [02388] her by the hand [03027] of all the sons [01121] that she hath brought up [01431]. 23 51 19 These two [08147] things are come [07122] unto thee; who shall be sorry [05110] for thee? desolation [07701], and destruction [07667], and the famine [07458], and the sword [02719]: by whom shall I comfort [05162] thee? 23 51 20 Thy sons [01121] have fainted [05968], they lie [07901] at the head [07218] of all the streets [02351], as a wild bull [08377] in a net [04364]: they are full [04392] of the fury [02534] of the LORD [03068], the rebuke [01606] of thy God [0430]. 23 51 21 Therefore hear [08085] now this, thou afflicted [06041], and drunken [07937], but not with wine [03196]: 23 51 22 Thus saith [0559] thy Lord [0113] the LORD [03068], and thy God [0430] that pleadeth [07378] the cause of his people [05971], Behold, I have taken out [03947] of thine hand [03027] the cup [03563] of trembling [08653], even the dregs [06907] of the cup [03563] of my fury [02534]; thou shalt no more [03254] drink it again [08354]: 23 51 23 But I will put [07760] it into the hand [03027] of them that afflict [03013] thee; which have said [0559] to thy soul [05315], Bow down [07812], that we may go over [05674]: and thou hast laid [07760] thy body [01460] as the ground [0776], and as the street [02351], to them that went over [05674]. 23 52 1 Awake [05782], awake [05782]; put on [03847] thy strength [05797], O Zion [06726]; put on [03847] thy beautiful [08597] garments [0899], O Jerusalem [03389], the holy [06944] city [05892]: for henceforth there shall no more [03254] come [0935] into thee the uncircumcised [06189] and the unclean [02931]. 23 52 2 Shake [05287] thyself from the dust [06083]; arise [06965], and sit down [03427], O Jerusalem [03389]: loose [06605] thyself from the bands [04147] of thy neck [06677], O captive [07628] daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]. 23 52 3 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Ye have sold [04376] yourselves for nought [02600]; and ye shall be redeemed [01350] without money [03701]. 23 52 4 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], My people [05971] went down [03381] aforetime [07223] into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there; and the Assyrian [0804] oppressed [06231] them without cause [0657]. 23 52 5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that my people [05971] is taken away [03947] for nought [02600]? they that rule [04910] over them make them to howl [03213], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and my name [08034] continually [08548] every day [03117] is blasphemed [05006]. 23 52 6 Therefore my people [05971] shall know [03045] my name [08034]: therefore they shall know in that day [03117] that I am he that doth speak [01696]: behold, it is I. 23 52 7 How beautiful [04998] upon the mountains [02022] are the feet [07272] of him that bringeth good tidings [01319], that publisheth [08085] peace [07965]; that bringeth good tidings [01319] of good [02896], that publisheth [08085] salvation [03444]; that saith [0559] unto Zion [06726], Thy God [0430] reigneth [04427] ! 23 52 8 Thy watchmen [06822] shall lift up [05375] the voice [06963]; with the voice [06963] together [03162] shall they sing [07442]: for they shall see [07200] eye [05869] to eye [05869], when the LORD [03068] shall bring again [07725] Zion [06726]. 23 52 9 Break forth into joy [06476], sing [07442] together [03162], ye waste places [02723] of Jerusalem [03389]: for the LORD [03068] hath comforted [05162] his people [05971], he hath redeemed [01350] Jerusalem [03389]. 23 52 10 The LORD [03068] hath made bare [02834] his holy [06944] arm [02220] in the eyes [05869] of all the nations [01471]; and all the ends [0657] of the earth [0776] shall see [07200] the salvation [03444] of our God [0430]. 23 52 11 Depart [05493] ye, depart [05493] ye, go ye out [03318] from thence, touch [05060] no unclean [02931] thing; go ye out [03318] of the midst [08432] of her; be ye clean [01305], that bear [05375] the vessels [03627] of the LORD [03068]. 23 52 12 For ye shall not go out [03318] with haste [02649], nor go [03212] by flight [04499]: for the LORD [03068] will go [01980] before [06440] you; and the God [0430] of Israel [03478] will be your rereward [0622]. 23 52 13 Behold, my servant [05650] shall deal prudently [07919], he shall be exalted [07311] and extolled [05375], and be very [03966] high [01361]. 23 52 14 As many [07227] were astonied [08074] at thee; his visage [04758] was so marred [04893] more than any man [0376], and his form [08389] more than the sons [01121] of men [0120]: 23 52 15 So shall he sprinkle [05137] many [07227] nations [01471]; the kings [04428] shall shut [07092] their mouths [06310] at him: for that which had not been told [05608] them shall they see [07200]; and that which they had not heard [08085] shall they consider [0995]. 23 53 1 Who hath believed [0539] our report [08052]? and to whom is the arm [02220] of the LORD [03068] revealed [01540]? 23 53 2 For he shall grow up [05927] before [06440] him as a tender plant [03126], and as a root [08328] out of a dry [06723] ground [0776]: he hath no form [08389] nor comeliness [01926]; and when we shall see [07200] him, there is no beauty [04758] that we should desire [02530] him. 23 53 3 He is despised [0959] and rejected [02310] of men [0376]; a man [0376] of sorrows [04341], and acquainted [03045] with grief [02483]: and we hid as it were [04564] our faces [06440] from him; he was despised [0959], and we esteemed [02803] him not. 23 53 4 Surely [0403] he hath borne [05375] our griefs [02483], and carried [05445] our sorrows [04341]: yet we did esteem [02803] him stricken [05060], smitten [05221] of God [0430], and afflicted [06031]. 23 53 5 But he was wounded [02490] for our transgressions [06588], he was bruised [01792] for our iniquities [05771]: the chastisement [04148] of our peace [07965] was upon him; and with his stripes [02250] we are healed [07495]. 23 53 6 All we like sheep [06629] have gone astray [08582]; we have turned [06437] every one [0376] to his own way [01870]; and the LORD [03068] hath laid [06293] on him the iniquity [05771] of us all. 23 53 7 He was oppressed [05065], and he was afflicted [06031], yet he opened [06605] not his mouth [06310]: he is brought [02986] as a lamb [07716] to the slaughter [02874], and as a sheep [07353] before [06440] her shearers [01494] is dumb [0481], so he openeth [06605] not his mouth [06310]. 23 53 8 He was taken [03947] from prison [06115] and from judgment [04941]: and who shall declare [07878] his generation [01755]? for he was cut off [01504] out of the land [0776] of the living [02416]: for the transgression [06588] of my people [05971] was he stricken [05061]. 23 53 9 And he made [05414] his grave [06913] with the wicked [07563], and with the rich [06223] in his death [04194]; because he had done [06213] no violence [02555], neither was any deceit [04820] in his mouth [06310]. 23 53 10 Yet it pleased [02654] the LORD [03068] to bruise [01792] him; he hath put him to grief [02470]: when thou shalt make [07760] his soul [05315] an offering for sin [0817], he shall see [07200] his seed [02233], he shall prolong [0748] his days [03117], and the pleasure [02656] of the LORD [03068] shall prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]. 23 53 11 He shall see [07200] of the travail [05999] of his soul [05315], and shall be satisfied [07646]: by his knowledge [01847] shall my righteous [06662] servant [05650] justify [06663] many [07227]; for he shall bear [05445] their iniquities [05771]. 23 53 12 Therefore will I divide [02505] him a portion with the great [07227], and he shall divide [02505] the spoil [07998] with the strong [06099]; because he hath poured out [06168] his soul [05315] unto death [04194]: and he was numbered [04487] with the transgressors [06586]; and he bare [05375] the sin [02399] of many [07227], and made intercession [06293] for the transgressors [06586]. 23 54 1 Sing [07442], O barren [06135], thou that didst not bear [03205]; break forth [06476] into singing [07440], and cry aloud [06670], thou that didst not travail with child [02342]: for more [07227] are the children [01121] of the desolate [08074] than the children [01121] of the married wife [01166], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 23 54 2 Enlarge [07337] the place [04725] of thy tent [0168], and let them stretch forth [05186] the curtains [03407] of thine habitations [04908]: spare [02820] not, lengthen [0748] thy cords [04340], and strengthen [02388] thy stakes [03489]; 23 54 3 For thou shalt break forth [06555] on the right hand [03225] and on the left [08040]; and thy seed [02233] shall inherit [03423] the Gentiles [01471], and make the desolate [08074] cities [05892] to be inhabited [03427]. 23 54 4 Fear [03372] not; for thou shalt not be ashamed [0954]: neither be thou confounded [03637]; for thou shalt not be put to shame [02659]: for thou shalt forget [07911] the shame [01322] of thy youth [05934], and shalt not remember [02142] the reproach [02781] of thy widowhood [0491] any more. 23 54 5 For thy Maker [06213] is thine husband [01166]; the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]; and thy Redeemer [01350] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; The God [0430] of the whole earth [0776] shall he be called [07121]. 23 54 6 For the LORD [03068] hath called [07121] thee as a woman [0802] forsaken [05800] and grieved [06087] in spirit [07307], and a wife [0802] of youth [05271], when thou wast refused [03988], saith [0559] thy God [0430]. 23 54 7 For a small [06996] moment [07281] have I forsaken [05800] thee; but with great [01419] mercies [07356] will I gather [06908] thee. 23 54 8 In a little [08241] wrath [07110] I hid [05641] my face [06440] from thee for a moment [07281]; but with everlasting [05769] kindness [02617] will I have mercy [07355] on thee, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] thy Redeemer [01350]. 23 54 9 For this is as the waters [04325] of Noah [05146] unto me: for as I have sworn [07650] that the waters [04325] of Noah [05146] should no more go over [05674] the earth [0776]; so have I sworn [07650] that I would not be wroth [07107] with thee, nor rebuke [01605] thee. 23 54 10 For the mountains [02022] shall depart [04185], and the hills [01389] be removed [04131]; but my kindness [02617] shall not depart [04185] from thee, neither shall the covenant [01285] of my peace [07965] be removed [04131], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] that hath mercy [07355] on thee. 23 54 11 O thou afflicted [06041], tossed with tempest [05590], and not comforted [05162], behold, I will lay [07257] thy stones [068] with fair colours [06320], and lay thy foundations [03245] with sapphires [05601]. 23 54 12 And I will make [07760] thy windows [08121] of agates [03539], and thy gates [08179] of carbuncles [068] [0688], and all thy borders [01366] of pleasant [02656] stones [068]. 23 54 13 And all thy children [01121] shall be taught [03928] of the LORD [03068]; and great [07227] shall be the peace [07965] of thy children [01121]. 23 54 14 In righteousness [06666] shalt thou be established [03559]: thou shalt be far [07368] from oppression [06233]; for thou shalt not fear [03372]: and from terror [04288]; for it shall not come near [07126] thee. 23 54 15 Behold, they shall surely [01481] gather together [01481], but not [0657] by me: whosoever [04310] shall gather together [01481] against thee shall fall [05307] for thy sake. 23 54 16 Behold, I have created [01254] the smith [02796] that bloweth [05301] the coals [06352] in the fire [0784], and that bringeth forth [03318] an instrument [03627] for his work [04639]; and I have created [01254] the waster [07843] to destroy [02254]. 23 54 17 No weapon [03627] that is formed [03335] against thee shall prosper [06743]; and every tongue [03956] that shall rise [06965] against thee in judgment [04941] thou shalt condemn [07561]. This is the heritage [05159] of the servants [05650] of the LORD [03068], and their righteousness [06666] is of me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 55 1 Ho [01945], every one that thirsteth [06771], come [03212] ye to the waters [04325], and he that hath no money [03701]; come [03212] ye, buy [07666], and eat [0398]; yea, come [03212], buy [07666] wine [03196] and milk [02461] without money [03701] and without price [04242]. 23 55 2 Wherefore do ye spend [08254] money [03701] for that which is not bread [03899]? and your labour [03018] for that which satisfieth [07654] not [03808]? hearken [08085] diligently [08085] unto me, and eat [0398] ye that which is good [02896], and let your soul [05315] delight [06026] itself in fatness [01880]. 23 55 3 Incline [05186] your ear [0241], and come [03212] unto me: hear [08085], and your soul [05315] shall live [02421]; and I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with you, even the sure [0539] mercies [02617] of David [01732]. 23 55 4 Behold, I have given [05414] him for a witness [05707] to the people [03816], a leader [05057] and commander [06680] to the people [03816]. 23 55 5 Behold, thou shalt call [07121] a nation [01471] that thou knowest [03045] not, and nations [01471] that knew [03045] not thee shall run [07323] unto thee because of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and for the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]; for he hath glorified [06286] thee. 23 55 6 Seek [01875] ye the LORD [03068] while he may be found [04672], call [07121] ye upon him while he is near [07138]: 23 55 7 Let the wicked [07563] forsake [05800] his way [01870], and the unrighteous [0205] man [0376] his thoughts [04284]: and let him return [07725] unto the LORD [03068], and he will have mercy [07355] upon him; and to our God [0430], for he will abundantly [07235] pardon [05545]. 23 55 8 For my thoughts [04284] are not your thoughts [04284], neither are your ways [01870] my ways [01870], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 55 9 For as the heavens [08064] are higher [01361] than the earth [0776], so are my ways [01870] higher [01361] than your ways [01870], and my thoughts [04284] than your thoughts [04284]. 23 55 10 For as the rain [01653] cometh down [03381], and the snow [07950] from heaven [08064], and returneth [07725] not thither, but watereth [07301] the earth [0776], and maketh it bring forth [03205] and bud [06779], that it may give [05414] seed [02233] to the sower [02232], and bread [03899] to the eater [0398]: 23 55 11 So shall my word [01697] be that goeth forth [03318] out of my mouth [06310]: it shall not return [07725] unto me void [07387], but it shall accomplish [06213] that which I please [02654], and it shall prosper [06743] in the thing whereto I sent [07971] it. 23 55 12 For ye shall go out [03318] with joy [08057], and be led forth [02986] with peace [07965]: the mountains [02022] and the hills [01389] shall break forth [06476] before [06440] you into singing [07440], and all the trees [06086] of the field [07704] shall clap [04222] their hands [03709]. 23 55 13 Instead of the thorn [05285] shall come up [05927] the fir tree [01265], and instead of the brier [05636] shall come up [05927] the myrtle tree [01918]: and it shall be to the LORD [03068] for a name [08034], for an everlasting [05769] sign [0226] that shall not be cut off [03772]. 23 56 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Keep [08104] ye judgment [04941], and do [06213] justice [06666]: for my salvation [03444] is near [07138] to come [0935], and my righteousness [06666] to be revealed [01540]. 23 56 2 Blessed [0835] is the man [0582] that doeth [06213] this, and the son [01121] of man [0120] that layeth hold [02388] on it; that keepeth [08104] the sabbath [07676] from polluting [02490] it, and keepeth [08104] his hand [03027] from doing [06213] any evil [07451]. 23 56 3 Neither let the son [01121] of the stranger [05236], that hath joined [03867] himself to the LORD [03068], speak [0559], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] hath utterly [0914] separated [0914] me from his people [05971]: neither let the eunuch [05631] say [0559], Behold, I am a dry [03002] tree [06086]. 23 56 4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto the eunuchs [05631] that keep [08104] my sabbaths [07676], and choose [0977] the things that please [02654] me, and take hold [02388] of my covenant [01285]; 23 56 5 Even unto them will I give [05414] in mine house [01004] and within my walls [02346] a place [03027] and a name [08034] better [02896] than of sons [01121] and of daughters [01323]: I will give [05414] them an everlasting [05769] name [08034], that shall not be cut off [03772]. 23 56 6 Also the sons [01121] of the stranger [05236], that join [03867] themselves to the LORD [03068], to serve [08334] him, and to love [0157] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], to be his servants [05650], every one that keepeth [08104] the sabbath [07676] from polluting [02490] it, and taketh hold [02388] of my covenant [01285]; 23 56 7 Even them will I bring [0935] to my holy [06944] mountain [02022], and make them joyful [08055] in my house [01004] of prayer [08605]: their burnt offerings [05930] and their sacrifices [02077] shall be accepted [07522] upon mine altar [04196]; for mine house [01004] shall be called [07121] an house [01004] of prayer [08605] for all people [05971]. 23 56 8 The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] which gathereth [06908] the outcasts [01760] of Israel [03478] saith [05002], Yet will I gather [06908] others to him, beside those that are gathered [06908] unto him. 23 56 9 All ye beasts [02416] of the field [07704], come [0857] to devour [0398], yea, all ye beasts [02416] in the forest [03293]. 23 56 10 His watchmen [06822] are blind [05787]: they are all ignorant [03045], they are all dumb [0483] dogs [03611], they cannot [03201] bark [05024]; sleeping [01957], lying down [07901], loving [0157] to slumber [05123]. 23 56 11 Yea, they are greedy [05794] [05315] dogs [03611] which can [03045] never have [03045] enough [07654], and they are shepherds [07462] that cannot understand [0995]: they all look [06437] to their own way [01870], every one [0376] for his gain [01215], from his quarter [07097]. 23 56 12 Come [0857] ye, say they, I will fetch [03947] wine [03196], and we will fill [05433] ourselves with strong drink [07941]; and to morrow [04279] shall be as this day [03117], and much [03966] more [03499] abundant [01419]. 23 57 1 The righteous [06662] perisheth [06], and no man [0376] layeth [07760] it to heart [03820]: and merciful [02617] men [0582] are taken away [0622], none considering [0995] that the righteous [06662] is taken away [0622] from [06440] the evil [07451] to come. 23 57 2 He shall enter [0935] into peace [07965]: they shall rest [05117] in their beds [04904], each one walking [01980] in his uprightness [05228]. 23 57 3 But draw near [07126] hither, ye sons [01121] of the sorceress [06049], the seed [02233] of the adulterer [05003] and the whore [02181]. 23 57 4 Against whom do ye sport [06026] yourselves? against whom make ye a wide [07337] mouth [06310], and draw out [0748] the tongue [03956]? are ye not children [03206] of transgression [06588], a seed [02233] of falsehood [08267], 23 57 5 Enflaming [02552] yourselves with idols [0410] under every green [07488] tree [06086], slaying [07819] the children [03206] in the valleys [05158] under the clifts [05585] of the rocks [05553]? 23 57 6 Among the smooth [02511] stones of the stream [05158] is thy portion [02506]; they, they are thy lot [01486]: even to them hast thou poured [08210] a drink offering [05262], thou hast offered [05927] a meat offering [04503]. Should I receive comfort [05162] in these? 23 57 7 Upon a lofty [01364] and high [05375] mountain [02022] hast thou set [07760] thy bed [04904]: even thither wentest thou up [05927] to offer [02076] sacrifice [02077]. 23 57 8 Behind [0310] the doors [01817] also and the posts [04201] hast thou set up [07760] thy remembrance [02146]: for thou hast discovered [01540] thyself to another than me, and art gone up [05927]; thou hast enlarged [07337] thy bed [04904], and made [03772] thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst [0157] their bed [04904] where [03027] thou sawest [02372] it. 23 57 9 And thou wentest [07788] to the king [04428] with ointment [08081], and didst increase [07235] thy perfumes [07547], and didst send [07971] thy messengers [06735] far off [07350], and didst debase [08213] thyself even unto hell [07585]. 23 57 10 Thou art wearied [03021] in the greatness [07230] of thy way [01870]; yet saidst [0559] thou not, There is no hope [02976]: thou hast found [04672] the life [02416] of thine hand [03027]; therefore thou wast not grieved [02470]. 23 57 11 And of whom hast thou been afraid [01672] or feared [03372], that thou hast lied [03576], and hast not remembered [02142] me, nor laid [07760] it to thy heart [03820]? have not I held my peace [02814] even of old [05769], and thou fearest [03372] me not? 23 57 12 I will declare [05046] thy righteousness [06666], and thy works [04639]; for they shall not profit [03276] thee. 23 57 13 When thou criest [02199], let thy companies [06899] deliver [05337] thee; but the wind [07307] shall carry them all away [05375]; vanity [01892] shall take [03947] them: but he that putteth his trust [02620] in me shall possess [05157] the land [0776], and shall inherit [03423] my holy [06944] mountain [02022]; 23 57 14 And shall say [0559], Cast ye up [05549], cast ye up [05549], prepare [06437] the way [01870], take up [07311] the stumblingblock [04383] out of the way [01870] of my people [05971]. 23 57 15 For thus saith [0559] the high [07311] and lofty One [05375] that inhabiteth [07931] eternity [05703], whose name [08034] is Holy [06918]; I dwell [07931] in the high [04791] and holy [06918] place, with him also that is of a contrite [01793] and humble [08217] spirit [07307], to revive [02421] the spirit [07307] of the humble [08217], and to revive [02421] the heart [03820] of the contrite ones [01792]. 23 57 16 For I will not contend [07378] for ever [05769], neither will I be always [05331] wroth [07107]: for the spirit [07307] should fail [05848] before [06440] me, and the souls [05397] which I have made [06213]. 23 57 17 For the iniquity [05771] of his covetousness [01215] was I wroth [07107], and smote [05221] him: I hid [05641] me, and was wroth [07107], and he went on [03212] frowardly [07726] in the way [01870] of his heart [03820]. 23 57 18 I have seen [07200] his ways [01870], and will heal [07495] him: I will lead [05148] him also, and restore [07999] comforts [05150] unto him and to his mourners [057]. 23 57 19 I create [01254] the fruit [05108] of the lips [08193]; Peace [07965], peace [07965] to him that is far off [07350], and to him that is near [07138], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; and I will heal [07495] him. 23 57 20 But the wicked [07563] are like the troubled [01644] sea [03220], when it cannot [03201] rest [08252], whose waters [04325] cast up [01644] mire [07516] and dirt [02916]. 23 57 21 There is no peace [07965], saith [0559] my God [0430], to the wicked [07563]. 23 58 1 Cry [07121] aloud [01627], spare [02820] not, lift [07311] up thy voice [06963] like a trumpet [07782], and shew [05046] my people [05971] their transgression [06588], and the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] their sins [02403]. 23 58 2 Yet they seek [01875] me daily [03117] [03117], and delight [02654] to know [01847] my ways [01870], as a nation [01471] that did [06213] righteousness [06666], and forsook [05800] not the ordinance [04941] of their God [0430]: they ask [07592] of me the ordinances [04941] of justice [06664]; they take delight [02654] in approaching [07132] to God [0430]. 23 58 3 Wherefore have we fasted [06684], say they, and thou seest [07200] not? wherefore have we afflicted [06031] our soul [05315], and thou takest no knowledge [03045]? Behold, in the day [03117] of your fast [06685] ye find [04672] pleasure [02656], and exact [05065] all your labours [06092]. 23 58 4 Behold, ye fast [06684] for strife [07379] and debate [04683], and to smite [05221] with the fist [0106] of wickedness [07562]: ye shall not fast [06684] as ye do this day [03117], to make your voice [06963] to be heard [08085] on high [04791]. 23 58 5 Is it such a fast [06685] that I have chosen [0977]? a day [03117] for a man [0120] to afflict [06031] his soul [05315]? is it to bow down [03721] his head [07218] as a bulrush [0100], and to spread [03331] sackcloth [08242] and ashes [0665] under him? wilt thou call [07121] this [02088] a fast [06685], and an acceptable [07522] day [03117] to the LORD [03068]? 23 58 6 Is not this the fast [06685] that I have chosen [0977]? to loose [06605] the bands [02784] of wickedness [07562], to undo [05425] the heavy [04133] burdens [092], and to let the oppressed [07533] go [07971] free [02670], and that ye break [05423] every yoke [04133]? 23 58 7 Is it not to deal [06536] thy bread [03899] to the hungry [07457], and that thou bring [0935] the poor [06041] that are cast out [04788] to thy house [01004]? when thou seest [07200] the naked [06174], that thou cover [03680] him; and that thou hide [05956] not thyself from thine own flesh [01320]? 23 58 8 Then shall thy light [0216] break forth [01234] as the morning [07837], and thine health [0724] shall spring forth [06779] speedily [04120]: and thy righteousness [06664] shall go [01980] before [06440] thee; the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] shall be thy rereward [0622]. 23 58 9 Then shalt thou call [07121], and the LORD [03068] shall answer [06030]; thou shalt cry [07768], and he shall say [0559], Here I am. If thou take away [05493] from the midst [08432] of thee the yoke [04133], the putting forth [07971] of the finger [0676], and speaking [01696] vanity [0205]; 23 58 10 And if thou draw out [06329] thy soul [05315] to the hungry [07457], and satisfy [07646] the afflicted [06031] soul [05315]; then shall thy light [0216] rise [02224] in obscurity [02822], and thy darkness [0653] be as the noonday [06672]: 23 58 11 And the LORD [03068] shall guide [05148] thee continually [08548], and satisfy [07646] thy soul [05315] in drought [06710], and make fat [02502] thy bones [06106]: and thou shalt be like a watered [07302] garden [01588], and like a spring [04161] of water [04325], whose waters [04325] fail [03576] not. 23 58 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build [01129] the old [05769] waste places [02723]: thou shalt raise up [06965] the foundations [04146] of many [01755] generations [01755]; and thou shalt be called [07121], The repairer [01443] of the breach [06556], The restorer [07725] of paths [05410] to dwell in [03427]. 23 58 13 If thou turn away [07725] thy foot [07272] from the sabbath [07676], from doing [06213] thy pleasure [02656] on my holy [06944] day [03117]; and call [07121] the sabbath [07676] a delight [06027], the holy [06918] of the LORD [03068], honourable [03513]; and shalt honour [03513] him, not doing [06213] thine own ways [01870], nor finding [04672] thine own pleasure [02656], nor speaking [01696] thine own words [01697]: 23 58 14 Then shalt thou delight [06026] thyself in the LORD [03068]; and I will cause thee to ride [07392] upon the high places [01116] of the earth [0776], and feed [0398] thee with the heritage [05159] of Jacob [03290] thy father [01]: for the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 23 59 1 Behold [02005], the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027] is not shortened [07114], that it cannot save [03467]; neither his ear [0241] heavy [03513], that it cannot hear [08085]: 23 59 2 But your iniquities [05771] have separated [0914] between [0996] you and your God [0430], and your sins [02403] have hid [05641] his face [06440] from you, that he will not hear [08085]. 23 59 3 For your hands [03709] are defiled [01351] with blood [01818], and your fingers [0676] with iniquity [05771]; your lips [08193] have spoken [01696] lies [08267], your tongue [03956] hath muttered [01897] perverseness [05766]. 23 59 4 None calleth [07121] for justice [06664], nor any pleadeth [08199] for truth [0530]: they trust [0982] in vanity [08414], and speak [01696] lies [07723]; they conceive [02029] mischief [05999], and bring forth [03205] iniquity [0205]. 23 59 5 They hatch [01234] cockatrice [06848]' eggs [01000], and weave [0707] the spider's [05908] web [06980]: he that eateth [0398] of their eggs [01000] dieth [04191], and that which is crushed [02116] breaketh out [01234] into a viper [0660]. 23 59 6 Their webs [06980] shall not become garments [0899], neither shall they cover [03680] themselves with their works [04639]: their works [04639] are works [04639] of iniquity [0205], and the act [06467] of violence [02555] is in their hands [03709]. 23 59 7 Their feet [07272] run [07323] to evil [07451], and they make haste [04116] to shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818]: their thoughts [04284] are thoughts [04284] of iniquity [0205]; wasting [07701] and destruction [07667] are in their paths [04546]. 23 59 8 The way [01870] of peace [07965] they know [03045] not; and there is no judgment [04941] in their goings [04570]: they have made them crooked [06140] paths [05410]: whosoever goeth [01869] therein shall not know [03045] peace [07965]. 23 59 9 Therefore is judgment [04941] far [07368] from us, neither doth justice [06666] overtake [05381] us: we wait [06960] for light [0216], but behold obscurity [02822]; for brightness [05054], but we walk [01980] in darkness [0653]. 23 59 10 We grope [01659] for the wall [07023] like the blind [05787], and we grope [01659] as if we had no eyes [05869]: we stumble [03782] at noonday [06672] as in the night [05399]; we are in desolate [0820] places as dead [04191] men. 23 59 11 We roar [01993] all like bears [01677], and mourn [01897] sore [01897] like doves [03123]: we look [06960] for judgment [04941], but there is none; for salvation [03444], but it is far off [07368] from us. 23 59 12 For our transgressions [06588] are multiplied [07231] before thee, and our sins [02403] testify [06030] against us: for our transgressions [06588] are with us; and as for our iniquities [05771], we know [03045] them; 23 59 13 In transgressing [06586] and lying [03584] against the LORD [03068], and departing away [05253] from [0310] our God [0430], speaking [01696] oppression [06233] and revolt [05627], conceiving [02029] and uttering [01897] from the heart [03820] words [01697] of falsehood [08267]. 23 59 14 And judgment [04941] is turned away [05253] backward [0268], and justice [06666] standeth [05975] afar off [07350]: for truth [0571] is fallen [03782] in the street [07339], and equity [05229] cannot [03201] enter [0935]. 23 59 15 Yea, truth [0571] faileth [05737]; and he that departeth [05493] from evil [07451] maketh himself a prey [07997]: and the LORD [03068] saw [07200] it, and it displeased [03415] [05869] him that there was no judgment [04941]. 23 59 16 And he saw [07200] that there was no man [0376], and wondered [08074] that there was no intercessor [06293]: therefore his arm [02220] brought salvation [03467] unto him; and his righteousness [06666], it sustained [05564] him. 23 59 17 For he put on [03847] righteousness [06666] as a breastplate [08302], and an helmet [03553] of salvation [03444] upon his head [07218]; and he put on [03847] the garments [0899] of vengeance [05359] for clothing [08516], and was clad [05844] with zeal [07068] as a cloke [04598]. 23 59 18 According to [05921] their deeds [01578], accordingly he will repay [07999], fury [02534] to his adversaries [06862], recompence [01576] to his enemies [0341]; to the islands [0339] he will repay [07999] recompence [01576]. 23 59 19 So shall they fear [03372] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] from the west [04628], and his glory [03519] from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121]. When the enemy [06862] shall come in [0935] like a flood [05104], the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall lift up a standard [05127] against him. 23 59 20 And the Redeemer [01350] shall come [0935] to Zion [06726], and unto them that turn [07725] from transgression [06588] in Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 59 21 As for me, this is my covenant [01285] with them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; My spirit [07307] that is upon thee, and my words [01697] which I have put [07760] in thy mouth [06310], shall not depart [04185] out of thy mouth [06310], nor out of the mouth [06310] of thy seed [02233], nor out of the mouth [06310] of thy seed's [02233] seed [02233], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], from henceforth and for [05704] ever [05769]. 23 60 1 Arise [06965], shine [0215]; for thy light [0216] is come [0935], and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] is risen [02224] upon thee. 23 60 2 For, behold, the darkness [02822] shall cover [03680] the earth [0776], and gross darkness [06205] the people [03816]: but the LORD [03068] shall arise [02224] upon thee, and his glory [03519] shall be seen [07200] upon thee. 23 60 3 And the Gentiles [01471] shall come [01980] to thy light [0216], and kings [04428] to the brightness [05051] of thy rising [02225]. 23 60 4 Lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] round about [05439], and see [07200]: all they gather themselves together [06908], they come [0935] to thee: thy sons [01121] shall come [0935] from far [07350], and thy daughters [01323] shall be nursed [0539] at thy side [06654]. 23 60 5 Then thou shalt see [07200] [03372], and flow together [05102], and thine heart [03824] shall fear [06342], and be enlarged [07337]; because the abundance [01995] of the sea [03220] shall be converted [02015] unto thee, the forces [02428] of the Gentiles [01471] shall come [0935] unto thee. 23 60 6 The multitude [08229] of camels [01581] shall cover [03680] thee, the dromedaries [01070] of Midian [04080] and Ephah [05891]; all they from Sheba [07614] shall come [0935]: they shall bring [05375] gold [02091] and incense [03828]; and they shall shew forth [01319] the praises [08416] of the LORD [03068]. 23 60 7 All the flocks [06629] of Kedar [06938] shall be gathered together [06908] unto thee, the rams [0352] of Nebaioth [05032] shall minister [08334] unto thee: they shall come up [05927] with acceptance [07522] on mine altar [04196], and I will glorify [06286] the house [01004] of my glory [08597]. 23 60 8 Who are these that fly [05774] as a cloud [05645], and as the doves [03123] to their windows [0699]? 23 60 9 Surely the isles [0339] shall wait [06960] for me, and the ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] first [07223], to bring [0935] thy sons [01121] from far [07350], their silver [03701] and their gold [02091] with them, unto the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and to the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478], because he hath glorified [06286] thee. 23 60 10 And the sons [01121] of strangers [05236] shall build up [01129] thy walls [02346], and their kings [04428] shall minister [08334] unto thee: for in my wrath [07110] I smote [05221] thee, but in my favour [07522] have I had mercy [07355] on thee. 23 60 11 Therefore thy gates [08179] shall be open [06605] continually [08548]; they shall not be shut [05462] day [03119] nor night [03915]; that men may bring [0935] unto thee the forces [02428] of the Gentiles [01471], and that their kings [04428] may be brought [05090]. 23 60 12 For the nation [01471] and kingdom [04467] that will not serve [05647] thee shall perish [06]; yea, those nations [01471] shall be utterly [02717] wasted [02717]. 23 60 13 The glory [03519] of Lebanon [03844] shall come [0935] unto thee, the fir tree [01265], the pine tree [08410], and the box [08391] together [03162], to beautify [06286] the place [04725] of my sanctuary [04720]; and I will make the place [04725] of my feet [07272] glorious [03513]. 23 60 14 The sons [01121] also of them that afflicted [06031] thee shall come [01980] bending [07817] unto thee; and all they that despised [05006] thee shall bow themselves down [07812] at the soles [03709] of thy feet [07272]; and they shall call [07121] thee, The city [05892] of the LORD [03068], The Zion [06726] of the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 23 60 15 Whereas [08478] thou hast been forsaken [05800] and hated [08130], so that no man went through [05674] thee, I will make [07760] thee an eternal [05769] excellency [01347], a joy [04885] of many [01755] generations [01755]. 23 60 16 Thou shalt also suck [03243] the milk [02461] of the Gentiles [01471], and shalt suck [03243] the breast [07699] of kings [04428]: and thou shalt know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] am thy Saviour [03467] and thy Redeemer [01350], the mighty One [046] of Jacob [03290]. 23 60 17 For brass [05178] I will bring [0935] gold [02091], and for iron [01270] I will bring [0935] silver [03701], and for wood [06086] brass [05178], and for stones [068] iron [01270]: I will also make [07760] thy officers [06486] peace [07965], and thine exactors [05065] righteousness [06666]. 23 60 18 Violence [02555] shall no more be heard [08085] in thy land [0776], wasting [07701] nor destruction [07667] within thy borders [01366]; but thou shalt call [07121] thy walls [02346] Salvation [03444], and thy gates [08179] Praise [08416]. 23 60 19 The sun [08121] shall be no more thy light [0216] by day [03119]; neither for brightness [05051] shall the moon [03394] give light [0216] unto thee: but the LORD [03068] shall be unto thee an everlasting [05769] light [0215], and thy God [0430] thy glory [08597]. 23 60 20 Thy sun [08121] shall no more go down [0935]; neither shall thy moon [03391] withdraw [0622] itself: for the LORD [03068] shall be thine everlasting [05769] light [0216], and the days [03117] of thy mourning [060] shall be ended [07999]. 23 60 21 Thy people [05971] also shall be all righteous [06662]: they shall inherit [03423] the land [0776] for ever [05769], the branch [05342] of my planting [04302], the work [04639] of my hands [03027], that I may be glorified [06286]. 23 60 22 A little one [06996] shall become a thousand [0505], and a small one [06810] a strong [06099] nation [01471]: I the LORD [03068] will hasten [02363] it in his time [06256]. 23 61 1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631]; 23 61 2 To proclaim [07121] the acceptable [07522] year [08141] of the LORD [03068], and the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] of our God [0430]; to comfort [05162] all that mourn [057]; 23 61 3 To appoint [07760] unto them that mourn [057] in Zion [06726], to give [05414] unto them beauty [06287] for ashes [0665], the oil [08081] of joy [08342] for mourning [060], the garment [04594] of praise [08416] for the spirit [07307] of heaviness [03544]; that they might be called [07121] trees [0352] of righteousness [06664], the planting [04302] of the LORD [03068], that he might be glorified [06286]. 23 61 4 And they shall build [01129] the old [05769] wastes [02723], they shall raise up [06965] the former [07223] desolations [08074], and they shall repair [02318] the waste [02721] cities [05892], the desolations [08074] of many [01755] generations [01755]. 23 61 5 And strangers [02114] shall stand [05975] and feed [07462] your flocks [06629], and the sons [01121] of the alien [05236] shall be your plowmen [0406] and your vinedressers [03755]. 23 61 6 But ye shall be named [07121] the Priests [03548] of the LORD [03068]: men shall call [0559] you the Ministers [08334] of our God [0430]: ye shall eat [0398] the riches [02428] of the Gentiles [01471], and in their glory [03519] shall ye boast [03235] yourselves. 23 61 7 For your shame [01322] ye shall have double [04932]; and for confusion [03639] they shall rejoice [07442] in their portion [02506]: therefore in their land [0776] they shall possess [03423] the double [04932]: everlasting [05769] joy [08057] shall be unto them. 23 61 8 For I the LORD [03068] love [0157] judgment [04941], I hate [08130] robbery [01498] for burnt offering [05930]; and I will direct [05414] their work [06468] in truth [0571], and I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them. 23 61 9 And their seed [02233] shall be known [03045] among the Gentiles [01471], and their offspring [06631] among [08432] the people [05971]: all that see [07200] them shall acknowledge [05234] them, that they are the seed [02233] which the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288]. 23 61 10 I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the LORD [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627]. 23 61 11 For as the earth [0776] bringeth forth [03318] her bud [06780], and as the garden [01593] causeth the things that are sown [02221] in it to spring forth [06779]; so the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will cause righteousness [06666] and praise [08416] to spring forth [06779] before all the nations [01471]. 23 62 1 For Zion's [06726] sake will I not hold my peace [02814], and for Jerusalem's [03389] sake I will not rest [08252], until the righteousness [06664] thereof go forth [03318] as brightness [05051], and the salvation [03444] thereof as a lamp [03940] that burneth [01197]. 23 62 2 And the Gentiles [01471] shall see [07200] thy righteousness [06664], and all kings [04428] thy glory [03519]: and thou shalt be called [07121] by a new [02319] name [05344], which the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] shall name [08034]. 23 62 3 Thou shalt also be a crown [05850] of glory [08597] in the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068], and a royal [04410] diadem [06797] [06797] in the hand [03709] of thy God [0430]. 23 62 4 Thou shalt no more be termed [0559] Forsaken [05800]; neither shall thy land [0776] any more be termed [0559] Desolate [08077]: but thou shalt be called [07121] Hephzibah [02657], and thy land [0776] Beulah [01166]: for the LORD [03068] delighteth [02654] in thee, and thy land [0776] shall be married [01166]. 23 62 5 For as a young man [0970] marrieth [01166] a virgin [01330], so shall thy sons [01121] marry [01166] thee: and as the bridegroom [02860] rejoiceth [04885] over the bride [03618], so shall thy God [0430] rejoice [07797] over thee. 23 62 6 I have set [06485] watchmen [08104] upon thy walls [02346], O Jerusalem [03389], which shall never [08548] hold their peace [02814] day [03117] nor night [03915]: ye that make mention [02142] of the LORD [03068], keep not silence [01824], 23 62 7 And give [05414] him no rest [01824], till he establish [03559], and till he make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a praise [08416] in the earth [0776]. 23 62 8 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] by his right hand [03225], and by the arm [02220] of his strength [05797], Surely I will [0518] no more give [05414] thy corn [01715] to be meat [03978] for thine enemies [0341]; and the sons [01121] of the stranger [05236] shall not drink [08354] thy wine [08492], for the which thou hast laboured [03021]: 23 62 9 But they that have gathered [0622] it shall eat [0398] it, and praise [01984] the LORD [03068]; and they that have brought it together [06908] shall drink [08354] it in the courts [02691] of my holiness [06944]. 23 62 10 Go through [05674], go through [05674] the gates [08179]; prepare [06437] ye the way [01870] of the people [05971]; cast up [05549], cast up [05549] the highway [04546]; gather out [05619] the stones [068]; lift up [07311] a standard [05251] for the people [05971]. 23 62 11 Behold, the LORD [03068] hath proclaimed [08085] unto the end [07097] of the world [0776], Say [0559] ye to the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], Behold, thy salvation [03468] cometh [0935]; behold, his reward [07939] is with him, and his work [06468] before [06440] him. 23 62 12 And they shall call [07121] them, The holy [06944] people [05971], The redeemed [01350] of the LORD [03068]: and thou shalt be called [07121], Sought out [01875], A city [05892] not forsaken [05800]. 23 63 1 Who is this that cometh [0935] from Edom [0123], with dyed [02556] garments [0899] from Bozrah [01224]? this that is glorious [01921] in his apparel [03830], travelling [06808] in the greatness [07230] of his strength [03581]? I that speak [01696] in righteousness [06666], mighty [07227] to save [03467]. 23 63 2 Wherefore art thou red [0122] in thine apparel [03830], and thy garments [0899] like him that treadeth [01869] in the winefat [01660]? 23 63 3 I have trodden [01869] the winepress [06333] alone; and of the people [05971] there was none [0376] with me: for I will tread [01869] them in mine anger [0639], and trample [07429] them in my fury [02534]; and their blood [05332] shall be sprinkled [05137] upon my garments [0899], and I will stain [01351] all my raiment [04403]. 23 63 4 For the day [03117] of vengeance [05359] is in mine heart [03820], and the year [08141] of my redeemed [01350] is come [0935]. 23 63 5 And I looked [05027], and there was none to help [05826]; and I wondered [08074] that there was none to uphold [05564]: therefore mine own arm [02220] brought salvation [03467] unto me; and my fury [02534], it upheld [05564] me. 23 63 6 And I will tread down [0947] the people [05971] in mine anger [0639], and make them drunk [07937] in my fury [02534], and I will bring down [03381] their strength [05332] to the earth [0776]. 23 63 7 I will mention [02142] the lovingkindnesses [02617] of the LORD [03068], and the praises [08416] of the LORD [03068], according to all that the LORD [03068] hath bestowed [01580] on us, and the great [07227] goodness [02898] toward the house [01004] of Israel [03478], which he hath bestowed [01580] on them according to his mercies [07356], and according to the multitude [07230] of his lovingkindnesses [02617]. 23 63 8 For he said [0559], Surely they are my people [05971], children [01121] that will not lie [08266]: so he was their Saviour [03467]. 23 63 9 In all their affliction [06869] he was afflicted [06862], and the angel [04397] of his presence [06440] saved [03467] them: in his love [0160] and in his pity [02551] he redeemed [01350] them; and he bare [05190] them, and carried [05375] them all the days [03117] of old [05769]. 23 63 10 But they rebelled [04784], and vexed [06087] his holy [06944] Spirit [07307]: therefore he was turned [02015] to be their enemy [0341], and he fought [03898] against them. 23 63 11 Then he remembered [02142] the days [03117] of old [05769], Moses [04872], and his people [05971], saying, Where is he that brought them up [05927] out of the sea [03220] with the shepherd [07462] of his flock [06629]? where is he that put [07760] his holy [06944] Spirit [07307] within [07130] him? 23 63 12 That led [03212] them by the right hand [03225] of Moses [04872] with his glorious [08597] arm [02220], dividing [01234] the water [04325] before [06440] them, to make [06213] himself an everlasting [05769] name [08034]? 23 63 13 That led [03212] them through the deep [08415], as an horse [05483] in the wilderness [04057], that they should not stumble [03782]? 23 63 14 As a beast [0929] goeth down [03381] into the valley [01237], the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] caused him to rest [05117]: so didst thou lead [05090] thy people [05971], to make [06213] thyself a glorious [08597] name [08034]. 23 63 15 Look down [05027] from heaven [08064], and behold [07200] from the habitation [02073] of thy holiness [06944] and of thy glory [08597]: where is thy zeal [07068] and thy strength [01369], the sounding [01995] of thy bowels [04578] and of thy mercies [07356] toward me? are they restrained [0662]? 23 63 16 Doubtless [03588] thou art our father [01], though Abraham [085] be ignorant [03808] [03045] of us, and Israel [03478] acknowledge [05234] us not: thou, O LORD [03068], art our father [01], our redeemer [01350]; thy name [08034] is from everlasting [05769]. 23 63 17 O LORD [03068], why hast thou made us to err [08582] from thy ways [01870], and hardened [07188] our heart [03820] from thy fear [03374]? Return [07725] for thy servants [05650]' sake, the tribes [07626] of thine inheritance [05159]. 23 63 18 The people [05971] of thy holiness [06944] have possessed [03423] it but a little while [04705]: our adversaries [06862] have trodden down [0947] thy sanctuary [04720]. 23 63 19 We are thine: thou never [05769] barest rule [04910] over them; they were not called [07121] by thy name [08034]. 23 64 1 Oh [03863] that thou wouldest rend [07167] the heavens [08064], that thou wouldest come down [03381], that the mountains [02022] might flow down [02151] at thy presence [06440], 23 64 2 As when the melting [02003] fire [0784] burneth [06919], the fire [0784] causeth the waters [04325] to boil [01158], to make thy name [08034] known [03045] to thine adversaries [06862], that the nations [01471] may tremble [07264] at thy presence [06440]! 23 64 3 When thou didst [06213] terrible things [03372] which we looked [06960] not for, thou camest down [03381], the mountains [02022] flowed down [02151] at thy presence [06440]. 23 64 4 For since the beginning of the world [05769] men have not heard [08085], nor perceived by the ear [0238], neither hath the eye [05869] seen [07200], O God [0430], beside [02108] thee, what he hath prepared [06213] for him that waiteth [02442] for him. 23 64 5 Thou meetest [06293] him that rejoiceth [07797] and worketh [06213] righteousness [06664], those that remember [02142] thee in thy ways [01870]: behold, thou art wroth [07107]; for we have sinned [02398]: in those is continuance [05769], and we shall be saved [03467]. 23 64 6 But we are all as an unclean [02931] thing, and all our righteousnesses [06666] are as filthy [05708] rags [0899]; and we all do fade [05034] [01101] as a leaf [05929]; and our iniquities [05771], like the wind [07307], have taken us away [05375]. 23 64 7 And there is none that calleth [07121] upon thy name [08034], that stirreth up [05782] himself to take hold [02388] of thee: for thou hast hid [05641] thy face [06440] from us, and hast consumed [04127] us, because [03027] of our iniquities [05771]. 23 64 8 But now, O LORD [03068], thou art our father [01]; we are the clay [02563], and thou our potter [03335]; and we all are the work [04639] of thy hand [03027]. 23 64 9 Be not wroth [07107] very sore [03966], O LORD [03068], neither remember [02142] iniquity [05771] for ever [05703]: behold, see [05027], we beseech thee, we are all thy people [05971]. 23 64 10 Thy holy [06944] cities [05892] are a wilderness [04057], Zion [06726] is a wilderness [04057], Jerusalem [03389] a desolation [08077]. 23 64 11 Our holy [06944] and our beautiful [08597] house [01004], where our fathers [01] praised [01984] thee, is burned up [08316] with fire [0784]: and all our pleasant things [04261] are laid waste [02723]. 23 64 12 Wilt thou refrain [0662] thyself for these things, O LORD [03068]? wilt thou hold thy peace [02814], and afflict [06031] us very sore [03966]? 23 65 1 I am sought [01875] of them that asked [07592] not [03808] for me; I am found [04672] of them that sought [01245] me not [03808]: I said [0559], Behold me, behold me, unto a nation [01471] that was not called [07121] by my name [08034]. 23 65 2 I have spread out [06566] my hands [03027] all the day [03117] unto a rebellious [05637] people [05971], which walketh [01980] in a way [01870] that was not good [02896], after [0310] their own thoughts [04284]; 23 65 3 A people [05971] that provoketh me to anger [03707] continually [08548] to my face [06440]; that sacrificeth [02076] in gardens [01593], and burneth incense [06999] upon altars of brick [03843]; 23 65 4 Which remain [03427] among the graves [06913], and lodge [03885] in the monuments [05341], which eat [0398] swine's [02386] flesh [01320], and broth [04839] [06564] of abominable [06292] things is in their vessels [03627]; 23 65 5 Which say [0559], Stand [07126] by thyself, come not near [05066] to me; for I am holier [06942] than thou. These are a smoke [06227] in my nose [0639], a fire [0784] that burneth [03344] all the day [03117]. 23 65 6 Behold, it is written [03789] before [06440] me: I will not keep silence [02814], but will recompense [07999], even recompense [07999] into their bosom [02436], 23 65 7 Your iniquities [05771], and the iniquities [05771] of your fathers [01] together [03162], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], which have burned incense [06999] upon the mountains [02022], and blasphemed [02778] me upon the hills [01389]: therefore will I measure [04058] their former [07223] work [06468] into their bosom [02436]. 23 65 8 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], As the new wine [08492] is found [04672] in the cluster [0811], and one saith [0559], Destroy [07843] it not; for a blessing [01293] is in it: so will I do [06213] for my servants [05650]' sakes, that I may not destroy [07843] them all. 23 65 9 And I will bring forth [03318] a seed [02233] out of Jacob [03290], and out of Judah [03063] an inheritor [03423] of my mountains [02022]: and mine elect [0972] shall inherit [03423] it, and my servants [05650] shall dwell [07931] there. 23 65 10 And Sharon [08289] shall be a fold [05116] of flocks [06629], and the valley [06010] of Achor [05911] a place for the herds [01241] to lie down in [07258], for my people [05971] that have sought [01875] me. 23 65 11 But ye are they that forsake [05800] the LORD [03068], that forget [07913] my holy [06944] mountain [02022], that prepare [06186] a table [07979] for that troop [01409] [01408], and that furnish [04390] the drink offering [04469] unto that number [04507]. 23 65 12 Therefore will I number [04487] you to the sword [02719], and ye shall all bow down [03766] to the slaughter [02874]: because when I called [07121], ye did not answer [06030]; when I spake [01696], ye did not hear [08085]; but did [06213] evil [07451] before mine eyes [05869], and did choose [0977] that wherein I delighted [02654] not. 23 65 13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Behold, my servants [05650] shall eat [0398], but ye shall be hungry [07456]: behold, my servants [05650] shall drink [08354], but ye shall be thirsty [06770]: behold, my servants [05650] shall rejoice [08055], but ye shall be ashamed [0954]: 23 65 14 Behold, my servants [05650] shall sing [07442] for joy [02898] of heart [03820], but ye shall cry [06817] for sorrow [03511] of heart [03820], and shall howl [03213] for vexation [07667] of spirit [07307]. 23 65 15 And ye shall leave [03240] your name [08034] for a curse [07621] unto my chosen [0972]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] shall slay [04191] thee, and call [07121] his servants [05650] by another [0312] name [08034]: 23 65 16 That he who blesseth [01288] himself in the earth [0776] shall bless [01288] himself in the God [0430] of truth [0543]; and he that sweareth [07650] in the earth [0776] shall swear [07650] by the God [0430] of truth [0543]; because the former [07223] troubles [06869] are forgotten [07911], and because they are hid [05641] from mine eyes [05869]. 23 65 17 For, behold, I create [01254] new [02319] heavens [08064] and a new [02319] earth [0776]: and the former [07223] shall not be remembered [02142], nor come [05927] into mind [03820]. 23 65 18 But be ye glad [07797] and rejoice [01523] for ever [05703] in that which I create [01254]: for, behold, I create [01254] Jerusalem [03389] a rejoicing [01525], and her people [05971] a joy [04885]. 23 65 19 And I will rejoice [01523] in Jerusalem [03389], and joy [07797] in my people [05971]: and the voice [06963] of weeping [01065] shall be no more heard [08085] in her, nor the voice [06963] of crying [02201]. 23 65 20 There shall be no more thence an infant [05764] of days [03117], nor an old man [02205] that hath not filled [04390] his days [03117]: for the child [05288] shall die [04191] an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121]; but the sinner [02398] being an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121] shall be accursed [07043]. 23 65 21 And they shall build [01129] houses [01004], and inhabit [03427] them; and they shall plant [05193] vineyards [03754], and eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of them. 23 65 22 They shall not build [01129], and another [0312] inhabit [03427]; they shall not plant [05193], and another [0312] eat [0398]: for as the days [03117] of a tree [06086] are the days [03117] of my people [05971], and mine elect [0972] shall long enjoy [01086] the work [04639] of their hands [03027]. 23 65 23 They shall not labour [03021] in vain [07385], nor bring forth [03205] for trouble [0928]; for they are the seed [02233] of the blessed [01288] of the LORD [03068], and their offspring [06631] with them. 23 65 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call [07121], I will answer [06030]; and while they are yet speaking [01696], I will hear [08085]. 23 65 25 The wolf [02061] and the lamb [02924] shall feed [07462] together [0259], and the lion [0738] shall eat [0398] straw [08401] like the bullock [01241]: and dust [06083] shall be the serpent's [05175] meat [03899]. They shall not hurt [07489] nor destroy [07843] in all my holy [06944] mountain [02022], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 23 66 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], The heaven [08064] is my throne [03678], and the earth [0776] is my footstool [07272] [01916]: where is the house [01004] that ye build [01129] unto me? and where is the place [04725] of my rest [04496]? 23 66 2 For all those things hath mine hand [03027] made [06213], and all those things have been, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: but to this man will I look [05027], even to him that is poor [06041] and of a contrite [05223] spirit [07307], and trembleth [02730] at my word [01697]. 23 66 3 He that killeth [07819] an ox [07794] is as if he slew [05221] a man [0376]; he that sacrificeth [02076] a lamb [07716], as if he cut off [06202] a dog's [03611] neck [06202]; he that offereth [05927] an oblation [04503], as if he offered swine's [02386] blood [01818]; he that burneth [02142] incense [03828], as if he blessed [01288] an idol [0205]. Yea, they have chosen [0977] their own ways [01870], and their soul [05315] delighteth [02654] in their abominations [08251]. 23 66 4 I also will choose [0977] their delusions [08586], and will bring [0935] their fears [04035] upon them; because when I called [07121], none did answer [06030]; when I spake [01696], they did not hear [08085]: but they did [06213] evil [07451] before mine eyes [05869], and chose [0977] that in which I delighted [02654] not. 23 66 5 Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye that tremble [02730] at his word [01697]; Your brethren [0251] that hated [08130] you, that cast you out [05077] for my name's [08034] sake, said [0559], Let the LORD [03068] be glorified [03513]: but he shall appear [07200] to your joy [08057], and they shall be ashamed [0954]. 23 66 6 A voice [06963] of noise [07588] from the city [05892], a voice [06963] from the temple [01964], a voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] that rendereth [07999] recompence [01576] to his enemies [0341]. 23 66 7 Before she travailed [02342], she brought forth [03205]; before her pain [02256] came [0935], she was delivered [04422] of a man child [02145]. 23 66 8 Who hath heard [08085] such a thing? who hath seen [07200] such things? Shall the earth [0776] be made to bring forth [02342] in one [0259] day [03117]? or shall a nation [01471] be born [03205] at once [06471]? for as soon as [01571] Zion [06726] travailed [02342], she brought forth [03205] her children [01121]. 23 66 9 Shall I bring to the birth [07665], and not cause to bring forth [03205]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068]: shall I [0589] cause to bring forth [03205], and shut [06113] the womb? saith [0559] thy God [0430]. 23 66 10 Rejoice [08055] ye with Jerusalem [03389], and be glad [01523] with her, all ye that love [0157] her: rejoice [07797] for joy [04885] with her, all ye that mourn [056] for her: 23 66 11 That ye may suck [03243], and be satisfied [07646] with the breasts [07699] of her consolations [08575]; that ye may milk out [04711], and be delighted [06026] with the abundance [02123] of her glory [03519]. 23 66 12 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will extend [05186] peace [07965] to her like a river [05104], and the glory [03519] of the Gentiles [01471] like a flowing [07857] stream [05158]: then shall ye suck [03243], ye shall be borne [05375] upon her sides [06654], and be dandled [08173] upon her knees [01290]. 23 66 13 As one [0376] whom his mother [0517] comforteth [05162], so will I comfort [05162] you; and ye shall be comforted [05162] in Jerusalem [03389]. 23 66 14 And when ye see [07200] this, your heart [03820] shall rejoice [07797], and your bones [06106] shall flourish [06524] like an herb [01877]: and the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] shall be known [03045] toward his servants [05650], and his indignation [02194] toward his enemies [0341]. 23 66 15 For, behold, the LORD [03068] will come [0935] with fire [0784], and with his chariots [04818] like a whirlwind [05492], to render [07725] his anger [0639] with fury [02534], and his rebuke [01606] with flames [03851] of fire [0784]. 23 66 16 For by fire [0784] and by his sword [02719] will the LORD [03068] plead [08199] with all flesh [01320]: and the slain [02491] of the LORD [03068] shall be many [07231]. 23 66 17 They that sanctify [06942] themselves, and purify [02891] themselves in the gardens [01593] behind [0310] one [0259] tree in the midst [08432], eating [0398] swine's [02386] flesh [01320], and the abomination [08263], and the mouse [05909], shall be consumed [05486] together [03162], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 23 66 18 For I know their works [04639] and their thoughts [04284]: it shall come [0935], that I will gather [06908] all nations [01471] and tongues [03956]; and they shall come [0935], and see [07200] my glory [03519]. 23 66 19 And I will set [07760] a sign [0226] among them, and I will send [07971] those that escape [06412] of them unto the nations [01471], to Tarshish [08659], Pul [06322], and Lud [03865], that draw [04900] the bow [07198], to Tubal [08422], and Javan [03120], to the isles [0339] afar off [07350], that have not heard [08085] my fame [08088], neither have seen [07200] my glory [03519]; and they shall declare [05046] my glory [03519] among the Gentiles [01471]. 23 66 20 And they shall bring [0935] all your brethren [0251] for an offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068] out of all nations [01471] upon horses [05483], and in chariots [07393], and in litters [06632], and upon mules [06505], and upon swift beasts [03753], to my holy [06944] mountain [02022] Jerusalem [03389], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], as the children [01121] of Israel [03478] bring [0935] an offering [04503] in a clean [02889] vessel [03627] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 23 66 21 And I will also take [03947] of them for priests [03548] and for Levites [03881], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 23 66 22 For as the new [02319] heavens [08064] and the new [02319] earth [0776], which I will make [06213], shall remain [05975] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], so shall your seed [02233] and your name [08034] remain [05975]. 23 66 23 And it shall come to pass, that from [01767] one new moon [02320] to another [02320], and from [01767] one sabbath [07676] to another [07676], shall all flesh [01320] come [0935] to worship [07812] before [06440] me, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 23 66 24 And they shall go forth [03318], and look [07200] upon the carcases [06297] of the men [0582] that have transgressed [06586] against me: for their worm [08438] shall not die [04191], neither shall their fire [0784] be quenched [03518]; and they shall be an abhorring [01860] unto all flesh [01320]. 24 1 1 The words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], of the priests [03548] that were in Anathoth [06068] in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144]: 24 1 2 To whom the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Amon [0526] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the thirteenth [07969] [06240] year [08141] of his reign [04427]. 24 1 3 It came also in the days [03117] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], unto the end [08552] of the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], unto the carrying away [01540] of Jerusalem [03389] captive [01540] in the fifth [02549] month [02320]. 24 1 4 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 24 1 5 Before [02962] I formed [03335] thee in the belly [0990] I knew [03045] thee; and before thou camest forth [03318] out of the womb [07358] I sanctified [06942] thee, and I ordained [05414] thee a prophet [05030] unto the nations [01471]. 24 1 6 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, I cannot [03045] speak [01696]: for I am a child [05288]. 24 1 7 But the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Say [0559] not, I am a child [05288]: for thou shalt go [03212] to all that I shall send [07971] thee, and whatsoever I command [06680] thee thou shalt speak [01696]. 24 1 8 Be not afraid [03372] of their faces [06440]: for I am with thee to deliver [05337] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 1 9 Then the LORD [03068] put forth [07971] his hand [03027], and touched [05060] my mouth [06310]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Behold, I have put [05414] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310]. 24 1 10 See [07200], I have this day [03117] set [06485] thee over the nations [01471] and over the kingdoms [04467], to root out [05428], and to pull down [05422], and to destroy [06], and to throw down [02040], to build [01129], and to plant [05193]. 24 1 11 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], Jeremiah [03414], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I see [07200] a rod [04731] of an almond tree [08247]. 24 1 12 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Thou hast well [03190] seen [07200]: for I will hasten [08245] my word [01697] to perform [06213] it. 24 1 13 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me the second time [08145], saying [0559], What seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I see [07200] a seething [05301] pot [05518]; and the face [06440] thereof is toward [06440] the north [06828]. 24 1 14 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Out of the north [06828] an evil [07451] shall break forth [06605] upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]. 24 1 15 For, lo, I will call [07121] all the families [04940] of the kingdoms [04467] of the north [06828], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and they shall come [0935], and they shall set [05414] every one [0376] his throne [03678] at the entering [06607] of the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389], and against all the walls [02346] thereof round about [05439], and against all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 24 1 16 And I will utter [01696] my judgments [04941] against them touching [05921] all their wickedness [07451], who have forsaken [05800] me, and have burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and worshipped [07812] the works [04639] of their own hands [03027]. 24 1 17 Thou therefore gird up [0247] thy loins [04975], and arise [06965], and speak [01696] unto them all that I command [06680] thee: be not dismayed [02865] at their faces [06440], lest I confound [02865] thee before [06440] them. 24 1 18 For, behold, I [0589] have made [05414] thee this day [03117] a defenced [04013] city [05892], and an iron [01270] pillar [05982], and brasen [05178] walls [02346] against the whole land [0776], against the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], against the princes [08269] thereof, against the priests [03548] thereof, and against the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 24 1 19 And they shall fight [03898] against thee; but they shall not prevail [03201] against thee; for I am with thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to deliver [05337] thee. 24 2 1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], 24 2 2 Go [01980] and cry [07121] in the ears [0241] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; I remember [02142] thee, the kindness [02617] of thy youth [05271], the love [0160] of thine espousals [03623], when thou wentest [03212] after [0310] me in the wilderness [04057], in a land [0776] that was not sown [02232]. 24 2 3 Israel [03478] was holiness [06944] unto the LORD [03068], and the firstfruits [07225] of his increase [08393]: all that devour [0398] him shall offend [0816]; evil [07451] shall come [0935] upon them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 2 4 Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and all the families [04940] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: 24 2 5 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], What iniquity [05766] have your fathers [01] found [04672] in me, that they are gone far [07368] from me, and have walked [03212] after [0310] vanity [01892], and are become vain [01891]? 24 2 6 Neither said [0559] they, Where is the LORD [03068] that brought us up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], that led [03212] us through the wilderness [04057], through a land [0776] of deserts [06160] and of pits [07745], through a land [0776] of drought [06723], and of the shadow of death [06757], through a land [0776] that no man [0376] passed through [05674], and where no man [0120] dwelt [03427]? 24 2 7 And I brought [0935] you into a plentiful [03759] country [0776], to eat [0398] the fruit [06529] thereof and the goodness [02898] thereof; but when ye entered [0935], ye defiled [02930] my land [0776], and made [07760] mine heritage [05159] an abomination [08441]. 24 2 8 The priests [03548] said [0559] not, Where is the LORD [03068]? and they that handle [08610] the law [08451] knew [03045] me not: the pastors [07462] also transgressed [06586] against me, and the prophets [05030] prophesied [05012] by Baal [01168], and walked [01980] after [0310] things that do not profit [03276]. 24 2 9 Wherefore I will yet plead [07378] with you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and with your children's [01121] children [01121] will I plead [07378]. 24 2 10 For pass over [05674] the isles [0339] of Chittim [03794], and see [07200]; and send [07971] unto Kedar [06938], and consider [0995] diligently [03966], and see [07200] if there be such a thing. 24 2 11 Hath a nation [01471] changed [03235] their gods [0430], which are yet no gods [0430]? but my people [05971] have changed [04171] their glory [03519] for that which doth not profit [03276]. 24 2 12 Be astonished [08074], O ye heavens [08064], at this, and be horribly afraid [08175], be ye very [03966] desolate [02717], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 2 13 For my people [05971] have committed [06213] two [08147] evils [07451]; they have forsaken [05800] me the fountain [04726] of living [02416] waters [04325], and hewed them out [02672] cisterns [0877], broken [07665] cisterns [0877], that can hold [03557] no water [04325]. 24 2 14 Is Israel [03478] a servant [05650]? is he a homeborn [01004] [03211] slave? why [04069] is he spoiled [0957]? 24 2 15 The young lions [03715] roared [07580] upon him, and yelled [05414] [06963], and they made [07896] his land [0776] waste [08047]: his cities [05892] are burned [03341] without inhabitant [03427]. 24 2 16 Also the children [01121] of Noph [05297] and Tahapanes [08471] have broken [07462] the crown of thy head [06936]. 24 2 17 Hast thou not procured [06213] this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], when [06256] he led [03212] thee by the way [01870]? 24 2 18 And now what hast thou to do in the way [01870] of Egypt [04714], to drink [08354] the waters [04325] of Sihor [07883]? or what hast thou to do in the way [01870] of Assyria [0804], to drink [08354] the waters [04325] of the river [05104]? 24 2 19 Thine own wickedness [07451] shall correct [03256] thee, and thy backslidings [04878] shall reprove [03198] thee: know [03045] therefore and see [07200] that it is an evil [07451] thing and bitter [04751], that thou hast forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and that my fear [06345] is not in thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635]. 24 2 20 For of old time [05769] I have broken [07665] thy yoke [05923], and burst [05423] thy bands [04147]; and thou saidst [0559], I will not transgress [05674] [05647]; when upon every high [01364] hill [01389] and under every green [07488] tree [06086] thou wanderest [06808], playing the harlot [02181]. 24 2 21 Yet I had planted [05193] thee a noble vine [08321], wholly a right [0571] seed [02233]: how then art thou turned [02015] into the degenerate plant [05494] of a strange [05237] vine [01612] unto me? 24 2 22 For though thou wash [03526] thee with nitre [05427], and take thee much [07235] soap [01287], yet thine iniquity [05771] is marked [03799] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 24 2 23 How canst thou say [0559], I am not polluted [02930], I have not gone [01980] after [0310] Baalim [01168]? see [07200] thy way [01870] in the valley [01516], know [03045] what thou hast done [06213]: thou art a swift [07031] dromedary [01072] traversing [08308] her ways [01870]; 24 2 24 A wild ass [06501] used [03928] to the wilderness [04057], that snuffeth up [07602] the wind [07307] at her pleasure [0185] [05315]; in her occasion [08385] who can turn her away [07725]? all they that seek [01245] her will not weary [03286] themselves; in her month [02320] they shall find [04672] her. 24 2 25 Withhold [04513] thy foot [07272] from being unshod [03182], and thy throat [01627] from thirst [06773]: but thou saidst [0559], There is no hope [02976]: no; for I have loved [0157] strangers [02114], and after [0310] them will I go [03212]. 24 2 26 As the thief [01590] is ashamed [01322] when he is found [04672], so is the house [01004] of Israel [03478] ashamed [03001]; they, their kings [04428], their princes [08269], and their priests [03548], and their prophets [05030], 24 2 27 Saying [0559] to a stock [06086], Thou art my father [01]; and to a stone [068], Thou hast brought me forth [03205]: for they have turned [06437] their back [06203] unto me, and not their face [06440]: but in the time [06256] of their trouble [07451] they will say [0559], Arise [06965], and save [03467] us. 24 2 28 But where are thy gods [0430] that thou hast made [06213] thee? let them arise [06965], if they can save [03467] thee in the time [06256] of thy trouble [07451]: for according to the number [04557] of thy cities [05892] are thy gods [0430], O Judah [03063]. 24 2 29 Wherefore will ye plead [07378] with me? ye all have transgressed [06586] against me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 2 30 In vain [07723] have I smitten [05221] your children [01121]; they received [03947] no correction [04148]: your own sword [02719] hath devoured [0398] your prophets [05030], like a destroying [07843] lion [0738]. 24 2 31 O generation [01755], see [07200] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. Have I been a wilderness [04057] unto Israel [03478]? a land [0776] of darkness [03991]? wherefore say [0559] my people [05971], We are lords [07300]; we will come [0935] no more unto thee? 24 2 32 Can a maid [01330] forget [07911] her ornaments [05716], or a bride [03618] her attire [07196]? yet my people [05971] have forgotten [07911] me days [03117] without number [04557]. 24 2 33 Why trimmest [03190] thou thy way [01870] to seek [01245] love [0160]? therefore hast thou also taught [03925] the wicked ones [07451] thy ways [01870]. 24 2 34 Also in thy skirts [03671] is found [04672] the blood [01818] of the souls [05315] of the poor [034] innocents [05355]: I have not found [04672] it by secret search [04290], but upon all these. 24 2 35 Yet thou sayest [0559], Because I am innocent [05352], surely his anger [0639] shall turn [07725] from me. Behold, I will plead [08199] with thee, because thou sayest [0559], I have not sinned [02398]. 24 2 36 Why gaddest thou about [0235] so much [03966] to change [08138] thy way [01870]? thou also shalt be ashamed [0954] of Egypt [04714], as thou wast ashamed [0954] of Assyria [0804]. 24 2 37 Yea, thou shalt go forth [03318] from him, and thine hands [03027] upon thine head [07218]: for the LORD [03068] hath rejected [03988] thy confidences [04009], and thou shalt not prosper [06743] in them. 24 3 1 They say [0559], If a man [0376] put away [07971] his wife [0802], and she go [01980] from him, and become another [0312] man's [0376], shall he return unto her again [07725]? shall not that land [0776] be greatly [02610] polluted [02610]? but thou hast played the harlot [02181] with many [07227] lovers [07453]; yet return again [07725] to me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 3 2 Lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] unto the high places [08205], and see [07200] where [0375] thou hast not been lien [07693] [07901] with. In the ways [01870] hast thou sat [03427] for them, as the Arabian [06163] in the wilderness [04057]; and thou hast polluted [02610] the land [0776] with thy whoredoms [02184] and with thy wickedness [07451]. 24 3 3 Therefore the showers [07241] have been withholden [04513], and there hath been no latter rain [04456]; and thou hadst a whore's [02181] [0802] forehead [04696], thou refusedst [03985] to be ashamed [03637]. 24 3 4 Wilt thou not from this time cry [07121] unto me, My father [01], thou art the guide [0441] of my youth [05271]? 24 3 5 Will he reserve [05201] his anger for ever [05769]? will he keep [08104] it to the end [05331]? Behold, thou hast spoken [01696] and done [06213] evil things [07451] as thou couldest [03201]. 24 3 6 The LORD [03068] said [0559] also unto me in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the king [04428], Hast thou seen [07200] that which backsliding [04878] Israel [03478] hath done [06213]? she is gone up [01980] upon every high [01364] mountain [02022] and under [08478] every green [07488] tree [06086], and there hath played the harlot [02181]. 24 3 7 And I said [0559] after [0310] she had done [06213] all these things, Turn [07725] thou unto me. But she returned [07725] not. And her treacherous [0901] sister [0269] Judah [03063] saw [07200] it. 24 3 8 And I saw [07200], when for all the causes [0182] whereby backsliding [04878] Israel [03478] committed adultery [05003] I had put her away [07971], and given [05414] her a bill [05612] of divorce [03748]; yet her treacherous [0898] sister [0269] Judah [03063] feared [03372] not, but went [03212] and played the harlot [02181] also. 24 3 9 And it came to pass through the lightness [06963] of her whoredom [02184], that she defiled [02610] the land [0776], and committed adultery [05003] with stones [068] and with stocks [06086]. 24 3 10 And yet for all this her treacherous [0901] sister [0269] Judah [03063] hath not turned [07725] unto me with her whole heart [03820], but feignedly [08267], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 3 11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, The backsliding [04878] Israel [03478] hath justified [06663] herself [05315] more than treacherous [0898] Judah [03063]. 24 3 12 Go [01980] and proclaim [07121] these words [01697] toward the north [06828], and say [0559], Return [07725], thou backsliding [04878] Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will not cause mine anger [06440] to fall [05307] upon you: for I am merciful [02623], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and I will not keep [05201] anger for ever [05769]. 24 3 13 Only acknowledge [03045] thine iniquity [05771], that thou hast transgressed [06586] against the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and hast scattered [06340] thy ways [01870] to the strangers [02114] under every green [07488] tree [06086], and ye have not obeyed [08085] my voice [06963], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 3 14 Turn [07725], O backsliding [07726] children [01121], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; for I am married [01166] unto you: and I will take [03947] you one [0259] of a city [05892], and two [08147] of a family [04940], and I will bring [0935] you to Zion [06726]: 24 3 15 And I will give [05414] you pastors [07462] according to mine heart [03820], which shall feed [07462] you with knowledge [01844] and understanding [07919]. 24 3 16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied [07235] and increased [06509] in the land [0776], in those days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], they shall say [0559] no more, The ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068]: neither shall it come [05927] to mind [03820]: neither shall they remember [02142] it; neither shall they visit [06485] it; neither shall that be done [06213] any more. 24 3 17 At that time [06256] they shall call [07121] Jerusalem [03389] the throne [03678] of the LORD [03068]; and all the nations [01471] shall be gathered [06960] unto it, to the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], to Jerusalem [03389]: neither shall they walk [03212] any more after [0310] the imagination [08307] of their evil [07451] heart [03820]. 24 3 18 In those days [03117] the house [01004] of Judah [03063] shall walk [03212] with the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and they shall come [0935] together [03162] out of the land [0776] of the north [06828] to the land [0776] that I have given for an inheritance [05157] unto your fathers [01]. 24 3 19 But I said [0559], How shall I put [07896] thee among the children [01121], and give [05414] thee a pleasant [02532] land [0776], a goodly [06643] heritage [05159] of the hosts [06635] of nations [01471]? and I said [0559], Thou shalt call [07121] me, My father [01]; and shalt not turn away [07725] from me [0310]. 24 3 20 Surely [0403] as a wife [0802] treacherously [0898] departeth from her husband [07453], so have ye dealt treacherously [0898] with me, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 3 21 A voice [06963] was heard [08085] upon the high places [08205], weeping [01065] and supplications [08469] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: for they have perverted [05753] their way [01870], and they have forgotten [07911] the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 24 3 22 Return [07725], ye backsliding [07726] children [01121], and I will heal [07495] your backslidings [04878]. Behold, we come [0857] unto thee; for thou art the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 3 23 Truly [0403] in vain [08267] is salvation hoped for from the hills [01389], and from the multitude [01995] of mountains [02022]: truly [0403] in the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is the salvation [08668] of Israel [03478]. 24 3 24 For shame [01322] hath devoured [0398] the labour [03018] of our fathers [01] from our youth [05271]; their flocks [06629] and their herds [01241], their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323]. 24 3 25 We lie down [07901] in our shame [01322], and our confusion [03639] covereth [03680] us: for we have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068] our God [0430], we and our fathers [01], from our youth [05271] even unto this day [03117], and have not obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 4 1 If thou wilt return [07725], O Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], return [07725] unto me: and if thou wilt put away [05493] thine abominations [08251] out of my sight [06440], then shalt thou not remove [05110]. 24 4 2 And thou shalt swear [07650], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], in truth [0571], in judgment [04941], and in righteousness [06666]; and the nations [01471] shall bless [01288] themselves in him, and in him shall they glory [01984]. 24 4 3 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] to the men [0376] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], Break up [05214] your fallow ground [05215], and sow [02232] not among thorns [06975]. 24 4 4 Circumcise [04135] yourselves to the LORD [03068], and take away [05493] the foreskins [06190] of your heart [03824], ye men [0376] of Judah [03063] and inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]: lest my fury [02534] come forth [03318] like fire [0784], and burn [01197] that none can quench [03518] it, because [06440] of the evil [07455] of your doings [04611]. 24 4 5 Declare [05046] ye in Judah [03063], and publish [08085] in Jerusalem [03389]; and say [0559], Blow [08628] ye the trumpet [07782] in the land [0776]: cry [07121], gather together [04390], and say [0559], Assemble [0622] yourselves, and let us go [0935] into the defenced [04013] cities [05892]. 24 4 6 Set up [05375] the standard [05251] toward Zion [06726]: retire [05756], stay [05975] not: for I will bring [0935] evil [07451] from the north [06828], and a great [01419] destruction [07667]. 24 4 7 The lion [0738] is come up [05927] from his thicket [05441], and the destroyer [07843] of the Gentiles [01471] is on his way [05265]; he is gone forth [03318] from his place [04725] to make [07760] thy land [0776] desolate [08047]; and thy cities [05892] shall be laid waste [05327], without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 4 8 For this gird [02296] you with sackcloth [08242], lament [05594] and howl [03213]: for the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] is not turned back [07725] from us. 24 4 9 And it shall come to pass at that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that the heart [03820] of the king [04428] shall perish [06], and the heart [03820] of the princes [08269]; and the priests [03548] shall be astonished [08074], and the prophets [05030] shall wonder [08539]. 24 4 10 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! surely [0403] thou hast greatly [05377] deceived [05377] this people [05971] and Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Ye shall have peace [07965]; whereas the sword [02719] reacheth [05060] unto the soul [05315]. 24 4 11 At that time [06256] shall it be said [0559] to this people [05971] and to Jerusalem [03389], A dry [06703] wind [07307] of the high places [08205] in the wilderness [04057] toward [01870] the daughter [01323] of my people [05971], not to fan [02219], nor to cleanse [01305], 24 4 12 Even a full [04392] wind [07307] from those places shall come [0935] unto me: now also will I give [01696] sentence [04941] against them. 24 4 13 Behold, he shall come up [05927] as clouds [06051], and his chariots [04818] shall be as a whirlwind [05492]: his horses [05483] are swifter [07043] than eagles [05404]. Woe [0188] unto us! for we are spoiled [07703]. 24 4 14 O Jerusalem [03389], wash [03526] thine heart [03820] from wickedness [07451], that thou mayest be saved [03467]. How long shall thy vain [0205] thoughts [04284] lodge [03885] within [07130] thee? 24 4 15 For a voice [06963] declareth [05046] from Dan [01835], and publisheth [08085] affliction [0205] from mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]. 24 4 16 Make ye mention [02142] to the nations [01471]; behold, publish [08085] against Jerusalem [03389], that watchers [05341] come [0935] from a far [04801] country [0776], and give out [05414] their voice [06963] against the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 24 4 17 As keepers [08104] of a field [07704], are they against her round about [05439]; because she hath been rebellious [04784] against me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 4 18 Thy way [01870] and thy doings [04611] have procured [06213] these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness [07451], because it is bitter [04751], because it reacheth [05060] unto thine heart [03820]. 24 4 19 My bowels [04578], my bowels [04578]! I am pained [02342] [03176] at my very [07023] heart [03820]; my heart [03820] maketh a noise [01993] in me; I cannot hold my peace [02790], because thou hast heard [08085], O my soul [05315], the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], the alarm [08643] of war [04421]. 24 4 20 Destruction [07667] upon destruction [07667] is cried [07121]; for the whole land [0776] is spoiled [07703]: suddenly [06597] are my tents [0168] spoiled [07703], and my curtains [03407] in a moment [07281]. 24 4 21 How long shall I see [07200] the standard [05251], and hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782]? 24 4 22 For my people [05971] is foolish [0191], they have not known [03045] me; they are sottish [05530] children [01121], and they have none understanding [0995]: they are wise [02450] to do evil [07489], but to do good [03190] they have no knowledge [03045]. 24 4 23 I beheld [07200] the earth [0776], and, lo, it was without form [08414], and void [0922]; and the heavens [08064], and they had no light [0216]. 24 4 24 I beheld [07200] the mountains [02022], and, lo, they trembled [07493], and all the hills [01389] moved lightly [07043]. 24 4 25 I beheld [07200], and, lo, there was no man [0120], and all the birds [05775] of the heavens [08064] were fled [05074]. 24 4 26 I beheld [07200], and, lo, the fruitful place [03759] was a wilderness [04057], and all the cities [05892] thereof were broken down [05422] at the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], and by his fierce [02740] anger [0639]. 24 4 27 For thus hath the LORD [03068] said [0559], The whole land [0776] shall be desolate [08077]; yet will I not make [06213] a full end [03617]. 24 4 28 For this shall the earth [0776] mourn [056], and the heavens [08064] above [04605] be black [06937]: because I have spoken [01696] it, I have purposed [02161] it, and will not repent [05162], neither will I turn back [07725] from it. 24 4 29 The whole city [05892] shall flee [01272] for the noise [06963] of the horsemen [06571] and bowmen [07198] [07411]; they shall go [0935] into thickets [05645], and climb up [05927] upon the rocks [03710]: every city [05892] shall be forsaken [05800], and not a man [0376] dwell [03427] therein [02004]. 24 4 30 And when thou art spoiled [07703], what wilt thou do [06213]? Though thou clothest [03847] thyself with crimson [08144], though thou deckest [05710] thee with ornaments [05716] of gold [02091], though thou rentest [07167] thy face [05869] with painting [06320], in vain [07723] shalt thou make thyself fair [03302]; thy lovers [05689] will despise [03988] thee, they will seek [01245] thy life [05315]. 24 4 31 For I have heard [08085] a voice [06963] as of a woman in travail [02470], and the anguish [06869] as of her that bringeth forth her first child [01069], the voice [06963] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], that bewaileth [03306] herself, that spreadeth [06566] her hands [03709], saying, Woe [0188] is me now! for my soul [05315] is wearied [05888] because of murderers [02026]. 24 5 1 Run ye to and fro [07751] through the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], and see [07200] now, and know [03045], and seek [01245] in the broad places [07339] thereof, if ye can find [04672] a man [0376], if there be [03426] any that executeth [06213] judgment [04941], that seeketh [01245] the truth [0530]; and I will pardon [05545] it. 24 5 2 And though they say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]; surely they swear [07650] falsely [08267]. 24 5 3 O LORD [03068], are not thine eyes [05869] upon the truth [0530]? thou hast stricken [05221] them, but they have not grieved [02342]; thou hast consumed [03615] them, but they have refused [03985] to receive [03947] correction [04148]: they have made their faces [06440] harder [02388] than a rock [05553]; they have refused [03985] to return [07725]. 24 5 4 Therefore I said [0559], Surely these are poor [01800]; they are foolish [02973]: for they know [03045] not the way [01870] of the LORD [03068], nor the judgment [04941] of their God [0430]. 24 5 5 I will get [03212] me unto the great men [01419], and will speak [01696] unto them; for they have known [03045] the way [01870] of the LORD [03068], and the judgment [04941] of their God [0430]: but these have altogether [03162] broken [07665] the yoke [05923], and burst [05423] the bonds [04147]. 24 5 6 Wherefore a lion [0738] out of the forest [03293] shall slay [05221] them, and a wolf [02061] of the evenings [06160] shall spoil [07703] them, a leopard [05246] shall watch [08245] over their cities [05892]: every one that goeth out [03318] thence shall [02007] be torn in pieces [02963]: because their transgressions [06588] are many [07231], and their backslidings [04878] are increased [06105]. 24 5 7 How [0335] shall I pardon [05545] thee for this [02063]? thy children [01121] have forsaken [05800] me, and sworn [07650] by them that are no [03808] gods [0430]: when I had fed them to the full [07650], they then committed adultery [05003], and assembled themselves by troops [01413] in the harlots [02181] ' houses [01004]. 24 5 8 They were as fed [02109] horses [05483] in the morning [07904]: every one [0376] neighed [06670] after his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]. 24 5 9 Shall I not visit [06485] for these things? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: and shall not my soul [05315] be avenged [05358] on such a nation [01471] as this? 24 5 10 Go ye up [05927] upon her walls [08284], and destroy [07843]; but make [06213] not a full end [03617]: take away [05493] her battlements [05189]; for they are not the LORD'S [03068]. 24 5 11 For the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and the house [01004] of Judah [03063] have dealt very [0898] treacherously [0898] against me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 5 12 They have belied [03584] the LORD [03068], and said [0559], It is not he; neither shall evil [07451] come [0935] upon us; neither shall we see [07200] sword [02719] nor famine [07458]: 24 5 13 And the prophets [05030] shall become wind [07307], and the word [01696] is not in them: thus shall it be done [06213] unto them. 24 5 14 Wherefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], Because ye speak [01696] this word [01697], behold, I will make [05414] my words [01697] in thy mouth [06310] fire [0784], and this people [05971] wood [06086], and it shall devour [0398] them. 24 5 15 Lo, I will bring [0935] a nation [01471] upon you from far [04801], O house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: it is a mighty [0386] nation [01471], it is an ancient [05769] nation [01471], a nation [01471] whose language [03956] thou knowest [03045] not, neither understandest [08085] what they say [01696]. 24 5 16 Their quiver [0827] is as an open [06605] sepulchre [06913], they are all mighty men [01368]. 24 5 17 And they shall eat up [0398] thine harvest [07105], and thy bread [03899], which thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] should eat [0398]: they shall eat up [0398] thy flocks [06629] and thine herds [01241]: they shall eat up [0398] thy vines [01612] and thy fig trees [08384]: they shall impoverish [07567] thy fenced [04013] cities [05892], wherein thou [02007] trustedst [0982], with the sword [02719]. 24 5 18 Nevertheless in those days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will not make [06213] a full end [03617] with you. 24 5 19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say [0559], Wherefore [08478] [04100] doeth [06213] the LORD [03068] our God [0430] all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer [0559] them, Like as ye have forsaken [05800] me, and served [05647] strange [05236] gods [0430] in your land [0776], so shall ye serve [05647] strangers [02114] in a land [0776] that is not yours. 24 5 20 Declare [05046] this in the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and publish [08085] it in Judah [03063], saying [0559], 24 5 21 Hear [08085] now this, O foolish [05530] people [05971], and without understanding [03820]; which have eyes [05869], and see [07200] not; which have ears [0241], and hear [08085] not: 24 5 22 Fear [03372] ye not me? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: will ye not tremble [02342] at my presence [06440], which have placed [07760] the sand [02344] for the bound [01366] of the sea [03220] by a perpetual [05769] decree [02706], that it cannot pass [05674] it: and though the waves [01530] thereof toss [01607] themselves, yet can they not prevail [03201]; though they roar [01993], yet can they not pass over [05674] it? 24 5 23 But this people [05971] hath a revolting [05637] and a rebellious [04784] heart [03820]; they are revolted [05493] and gone [03212]. 24 5 24 Neither say [0559] they in their heart [03824], Let us now fear [03372] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], that giveth [05414] rain [01653], both the former [03138] and the latter [04456], in his season [06256]: he reserveth [08104] unto us the appointed [02708] weeks [07620] of the harvest [07105]. 24 5 25 Your iniquities [05771] have turned away [05186] these things, and your sins [02403] have withholden [04513] good [02896] things from you. 24 5 26 For among my people [05971] are found [04672] wicked [07563] men: they lay wait [07789], as he that setteth [07918] snares [03353]; they set [05324] a trap [04889], they catch [03920] men [0582]. 24 5 27 As a cage [03619] is full [04392] of birds [05775], so are their houses [01004] full [04392] of deceit [04820]: therefore they are become great [01431], and waxen rich [06238]. 24 5 28 They are waxen fat [08080], they shine [06245]: yea, they overpass [05674] the deeds [01697] of the wicked [07451]: they judge [01777] not the cause [01779], the cause of the fatherless [03490], yet they prosper [06743]; and the right [04941] of the needy [034] do they not judge [08199]. 24 5 29 Shall I not visit [06485] for these things? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: shall not my soul [05315] be avenged [05358] on such a nation [01471] as this? 24 5 30 A wonderful [08047] and horrible thing [08186] is committed [01961] in the land [0776]; 24 5 31 The prophets [05030] prophesy [05012] falsely [08267], and the priests [03548] bear rule [07287] by their means [03027]; and my people [05971] love [0157] to have it so: and what will ye do [06213] in the end [0319] thereof? 24 6 1 O ye children [01121] of Benjamin [01144], gather yourselves to flee [05756] out of the midst [07130] of Jerusalem [03389], and blow [08628] the trumpet [07782] in Tekoa [08620], and set up [05375] a sign [04864] of fire in Bethhaccerem [01021]: for evil [07451] appeareth [08259] out of the north [06828], and great [01419] destruction [07667]. 24 6 2 I have likened [01820] the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] to a comely [05116] and delicate [06026] woman. 24 6 3 The shepherds [07462] with their flocks [05739] shall come [0935] unto her; they shall pitch [08628] their tents [0168] against her round about [05439]; they shall feed [07462] every one [0376] in his place [03027]. 24 6 4 Prepare [06942] ye war [04421] against her; arise [06965], and let us go up [05927] at noon [06672]. Woe [0188] unto us! for the day [03117] goeth away [06437], for the shadows [06752] of the evening [06153] are stretched out [05186]. 24 6 5 Arise [06965], and let us go [05927] by night [03915], and let us destroy [07843] her palaces [0759]. 24 6 6 For thus hath the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] said [0559], Hew ye down [03772] trees [06097], and cast [08210] a mount [05550] against Jerusalem [03389]: this is the city [05892] to be visited [06485]; she is wholly oppression [06233] in the midst [07130] of her. 24 6 7 As a fountain [0953] casteth out [06979] her waters [04325], so she casteth out [06979] her wickedness [07451]: violence [02555] and spoil [07701] is heard [08085] in her; before me [06440] continually [08548] is grief [02483] and wounds [04347]. 24 6 8 Be thou instructed [03256], O Jerusalem [03389], lest my soul [05315] depart [03363] from thee; lest I make [07760] thee desolate [08077], a land [0776] not inhabited [03427]. 24 6 9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], They shall throughly [05953] glean [05953] the remnant [07611] of Israel [03478] as a vine [01612]: turn back [07725] thine hand [03027] as a grapegatherer [01219] into the baskets [05552]. 24 6 10 To whom shall I speak [01696], and give warning [05749], that they may hear [08085]? behold, their ear [0241] is uncircumcised [06189], and they cannot [03201] hearken [07181]: behold, the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] is unto them a reproach [02781]; they have no delight [02654] in it. 24 6 11 Therefore I am full [04392] of the fury [02534] of the LORD [03068]; I am weary [03811] with holding in [03557]: I will pour it out [08210] upon the children [05768] abroad [02351], and upon the assembly [05475] of young men [0970] together [03162]: for even the husband [0376] with the wife [0802] shall be taken [03920], the aged [02205] with him that is full [04390] of days [03117]. 24 6 12 And their houses [01004] shall be turned [05437] unto others [0312], with their fields [07704] and wives [0802] together [03162]: for I will stretch out [05186] my hand [03027] upon the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 6 13 For from the least [06996] of them even unto the greatest [01419] of them every one is given [01214] to covetousness [01215]; and from the prophet [05030] even unto the priest [03548] every one dealeth [06213] falsely [08267]. 24 6 14 They have healed [07495] also the hurt [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] slightly [07043], saying [0559], Peace [07965], peace [07965]; when there is no peace [07965]. 24 6 15 Were they ashamed [03001] when they had committed [06213] abomination [08441]? nay [01571], they were not at all [0954] ashamed [0954], neither [01571] could [03045] they blush [03637]: therefore they shall fall [05307] among them that fall [05307]: at the time [06256] that I visit [06485] them they shall be cast down [03782], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 24 6 16 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Stand [05975] ye in the ways [01870], and see [07200], and ask [07592] for the old [05769] paths [05410], where is the good [02896] way [01870], and walk [03212] therein, and ye shall find [04672] rest [04771] for your souls [05315]. But they said [0559], We will not walk [03212] therein. 24 6 17 Also I set [06965] watchmen [06822] over you, saying, Hearken [07181] to the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782]. But they said [0559], We will not hearken [07181]. 24 6 18 Therefore hear [08085], ye nations [01471], and know [03045], O congregation [05712], what is among them. 24 6 19 Hear [08085], O earth [0776]: behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon this people [05971], even the fruit [06529] of their thoughts [04284], because they have not hearkened [07181] unto my words [01697], nor to my law [08451], but rejected [03988] it. 24 6 20 To what purpose cometh [0935] there to me incense [03828] from Sheba [07614], and the sweet [02896] cane [07070] from a far [04801] country [0776]? your burnt offerings [05930] are not acceptable [07522], nor your sacrifices [02077] sweet [06149] unto me. 24 6 21 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will lay [05414] stumblingblocks [04383] before this people [05971], and the fathers [01] and the sons [01121] together [03162] shall fall [03782] upon them; the neighbour [07934] and his friend [07453] shall perish [06]. 24 6 22 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, a people [05971] cometh [0935] from the north [06828] country [0776], and a great [01419] nation [01471] shall be raised [05782] from the sides [03411] of the earth [0776]. 24 6 23 They shall lay hold [02388] on bow [07198] and spear [03591]; they are cruel [0394], and have no mercy [07355]; their voice [06963] roareth [01993] like the sea [03220]; and they ride [07392] upon horses [05483], set in array [06186] as men [0376] for war [04421] against thee, O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]. 24 6 24 We have heard [08085] the fame [08089] thereof: our hands [03027] wax feeble [07503]: anguish [06869] hath taken hold [02388] of us, and pain [02427], as of a woman in travail [03205]. 24 6 25 Go not forth [03318] into the field [07704], nor walk [03212] by the way [01870]; for the sword [02719] of the enemy [0341] and fear [04032] is on every side [05439]. 24 6 26 O daughter [01323] of my people [05971], gird [02296] thee with sackcloth [08242], and wallow [06428] thyself in ashes [0665]: make [06213] thee mourning [060], as for an only son [03173], most bitter [08563] lamentation [04553]: for the spoiler [07703] shall suddenly [06597] come [0935] upon us. 24 6 27 I have set [05414] thee for a tower [0969] and a fortress [04013] among my people [05971], that thou mayest know [03045] and try [0974] their way [01870]. 24 6 28 They are all grievous [05493] revolters [05637], walking [01980] with slanders [07400]: they are brass [05178] and iron [01270]; they are all corrupters [07843]. 24 6 29 The bellows [04647] are burned [02787], the lead [05777] is consumed [08552] of the fire [0800] [0784]; the founder [06884] melteth [06884] in vain [07723]: for the wicked [07451] are not plucked away [05423]. 24 6 30 Reprobate [03988] silver [03701] shall men call [07121] them, because the LORD [03068] hath rejected [03988] them. 24 7 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 7 2 Stand [05975] in the gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], and proclaim [07121] there this word [01697], and say [0559], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], all ye of Judah [03063], that enter in [0935] at these gates [08179] to worship [07812] the LORD [03068]. 24 7 3 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], Amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611], and I will cause you to dwell [07931] in this place [04725]. 24 7 4 Trust [0982] ye not in lying [08267] words [01697], saying [0559], The temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], The temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], The temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], are these. 24 7 5 For if ye throughly [03190] amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611]; if ye throughly [06213] execute [06213] judgment [04941] between a man [0376] and his neighbour [07453]; 24 7 6 If ye oppress [06231] not the stranger [01616], the fatherless [03490], and the widow [0490], and shed [08210] not innocent [05355] blood [01818] in this place [04725], neither walk [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to your hurt [07451]: 24 7 7 Then will I cause you to dwell [07931] in this place [04725], in the land [0776] that I gave [05414] to your fathers [01], for [05704] ever [05769] and ever [05769]. 24 7 8 Behold, ye trust [0982] in lying [08267] words [01697], that cannot profit [03276]. 24 7 9 Will ye steal [01589], murder [07523], and commit adultery [05003], and swear [07650] falsely [08267], and burn incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and walk [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] whom ye know [03045] not; 24 7 10 And come [0935] and stand [05975] before [06440] me in this house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], and say [0559], We are delivered [05337] to do [06213] all these abominations [08441]? 24 7 11 Is this house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], become a den [04631] of robbers [06530] in your eyes [05869]? Behold, even I have seen [07200] it, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 7 12 But go [03212] ye now unto my place [04725] which was in Shiloh [07887], where I set [07931] my name [08034] at the first [07223], and see [07200] what I did [06213] to it for [06440] the wickedness [07451] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 24 7 13 And now, because ye have done [06213] all these works [04639], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and I spake [01696] unto you, rising up early [07925] and speaking [01696], but ye heard [08085] not; and I called [07121] you, but ye answered [06030] not; 24 7 14 Therefore will I do [06213] unto this house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], wherein ye trust [0982], and unto the place [04725] which I gave [05414] to you and to your fathers [01], as I have done [06213] to Shiloh [07887]. 24 7 15 And I will cast you out [07993] of my sight [06440], as I have cast out [07993] all your brethren [0251], even the whole seed [02233] of Ephraim [0669]. 24 7 16 Therefore pray [06419] not thou for this people [05971], neither lift up [05375] cry [07440] nor prayer [08605] for them [01157], neither make intercession [06293] to me: for I will not hear [08085] thee. 24 7 17 Seest [07200] thou not what they do [06213] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389]? 24 7 18 The children [01121] gather [03950] wood [06086], and the fathers [01] kindle [01197] the fire [0784], and the women [0802] knead [03888] their dough [01217], to make [06213] cakes [03561] to the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and to pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto other [0312] gods [0430], that they may provoke me to anger [03707]. 24 7 19 Do they provoke me to anger [03707]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion [01322] of their own faces [06440]? 24 7 20 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, mine anger [0639] and my fury [02534] shall be poured out [05413] upon this place [04725], upon man [0120], and upon beast [0929], and upon the trees [06086] of the field [07704], and upon the fruit [06529] of the ground [0127]; and it shall burn [01197], and shall not be quenched [03518]. 24 7 21 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Put [05595] your burnt offerings [05930] unto your sacrifices [02077], and eat [0398] flesh [01320]. 24 7 22 For I spake [01696] not unto your fathers [01], nor commanded [06680] them in the day [03117] that I brought them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], concerning [01697] burnt offerings [05930] or sacrifices [02077]: 24 7 23 But this thing [01697] commanded [06680] I them, saying [0559], Obey [08085] my voice [06963], and I will be your God [0430], and ye shall be my people [05971]: and walk [01980] ye in all the ways [01870] that I have commanded [06680] you, that it may be well [03190] unto you. 24 7 24 But they hearkened [08085] not, nor inclined [05186] their ear [0241], but walked [03212] in the counsels [04156] and in the imagination [08307] of their evil [07451] heart [03820], and went backward [0268], and not forward [06440]. 24 7 25 Since the day [03117] that your fathers [01] came forth out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] unto this day [03117] I have even sent [07971] unto you all my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], daily [03117] rising up early [07925] and sending [07971] them: 24 7 26 Yet they hearkened [08085] not unto me, nor inclined [05186] their ear [0241], but hardened [07185] their neck [06203]: they did worse [07489] than their fathers [01]. 24 7 27 Therefore thou shalt speak [01696] all these words [01697] unto them; but they will not hearken [08085] to thee: thou shalt also call [07121] unto them; but they will not answer [06030] thee. 24 7 28 But thou shalt say [0559] unto them, This is a nation [01471] that obeyeth [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], nor receiveth [03947] correction [04148]: truth [0530] is perished [06], and is cut off [03772] from their mouth [06310]. 24 7 29 Cut off [01494] thine hair [05145], O Jerusalem, and cast it away [07993], and take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] on high places [08205]; for the LORD [03068] hath rejected [03988] and forsaken [05203] the generation [01755] of his wrath [05678]. 24 7 30 For the children [01121] of Judah [03063] have done [06213] evil [07451] in my sight [05869], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: they have set [07760] their abominations [08251] in the house [01004] which is called [07121] by my name [08034], to pollute [02930] it. 24 7 31 And they have built [01129] the high places [01116] of Tophet [08612], which is in the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], to burn [08313] their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] in the fire [0784]; which I commanded [06680] them not, neither came [05927] it into my heart [03820]. 24 7 32 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that it shall no more be called [0559] Tophet [08612], nor the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], but the valley [01516] of slaughter [02028]: for they shall bury [06912] in Tophet [08612], till there be no [0369] place [04725]. 24 7 33 And the carcases [05038] of this people [05971] shall be meat [03978] for the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and for the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]; and none shall fray them away [02729]. 24 7 34 Then will I cause to cease [07673] from the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and from the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], the voice [06963] of mirth [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618]: for the land [0776] shall be desolate [02723]. 24 8 1 At that time [06256], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], they shall bring out [03318] the bones [06106] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and the bones [06106] of his princes [08269], and the bones [06106] of the priests [03548], and the bones [06106] of the prophets [05030], and the bones [06106] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], out of their graves [06913]: 24 8 2 And they shall spread [07849] them before the sun [08121], and the moon [03394], and all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], whom they have loved [0157], and whom they have served [05647], and after [0310] whom they have walked [01980], and whom they have sought [01875], and whom they have worshipped [07812]: they shall not be gathered [0622], nor be buried [06912]; they shall be for dung [01828] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]. 24 8 3 And death [04194] shall be chosen [0977] rather than life [02416] by all the residue [07611] of them that remain [07604] of this evil [07451] family [04940], which remain [07604] in all the places [04725] whither I have driven [05080] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 24 8 4 Moreover thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Shall they fall [05307], and not arise [06965]? shall he turn away [07725], and not return [07725]? 24 8 5 Why then is this people [05971] of Jerusalem [03389] slidden back [07725] by a perpetual [05329] backsliding [04878]? they hold [02388] fast deceit [08649], they refuse [03985] to return [07725]. 24 8 6 I hearkened [07181] and heard [08085], but they spake not aright [01696]: no man [0376] repented [05162] him of [05921] his wickedness [07451], saying [0559], What have I done [06213]? every one turned [07725] to his course [04794], as the horse [05483] rusheth [07857] into the battle [04421]. 24 8 7 Yea, the stork [02624] in the heaven [08064] knoweth [03045] her appointed times [04150]; and the turtle [08449] and the crane [05483] and the swallow [05693] observe [08104] the time [06256] of their coming [0935]; but my people [05971] know [03045] not the judgment [04941] of the LORD [03068]. 24 8 8 How do ye say [0559], We are wise [02450], and the law [08451] of the LORD [03068] is with us? Lo, certainly [0403] in vain [08267] made [06213] he it; the pen [05842] of the scribes [05608] is in vain [08267]. 24 8 9 The wise [02450] men are ashamed [03001], they are dismayed [02865] and taken [03920]: lo, they have rejected [03988] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; and what wisdom [02451] is in them? 24 8 10 Therefore will I give [05414] their wives [0802] unto others [0312], and their fields [07704] to them that shall inherit [03423] them: for every one from the least [06996] even unto the greatest [01419] is given [01214] to covetousness [01215], from the prophet [05030] even unto the priest [03548] every one dealeth [06213] falsely [08267]. 24 8 11 For they have healed [07495] the hurt [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] slightly [07043], saying [0559], Peace [07965], peace [07965]; when there is no peace [07965]. 24 8 12 Were they ashamed [03001] when they had committed [06213] abomination [08441]? nay, they were not at all [0954] ashamed [0954], neither could [03045] they blush [03637]: therefore shall they fall [05307] among them that fall [05307]: in the time [06256] of their visitation [06486] they shall be cast down [03782], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 24 8 13 I will surely [0622] consume [05486] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: there shall be no grapes [06025] on the vine [01612], nor figs [08384] on the fig tree [08384], and the leaf [05929] shall fade [05034]; and the things that I have given [05414] them shall pass away [05674] from them. 24 8 14 Why do we sit still [03427]? assemble [0622] yourselves, and let us enter [0935] into the defenced [04013] cities [05892], and let us be silent [01826] there: for the LORD [03068] our God [0430] hath put us to silence [01826], and given us water [04325] of gall [07219] to drink [08248], because we have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]. 24 8 15 We looked [06960] for peace [07965], but no good [02896] came; and for a time [06256] of health [04832], and behold trouble [01205]! 24 8 16 The snorting [05170] of his horses [05483] was heard [08085] from Dan [01835]: the whole land [0776] trembled [07493] at the sound [06963] of the neighing [04684] of his strong ones [047]; for they are come [0935], and have devoured [0398] the land [0776], and all [04393] that is in it; the city [05892], and those that dwell [03427] therein. 24 8 17 For, behold, I will send [07971] serpents [05175], cockatrices [06848], among you, which will not be charmed [03908], and they shall bite [05391] you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 8 18 When I would comfort [04010] myself against sorrow [03015], my heart [03820] is faint [01742] in me. 24 8 19 Behold the voice [06963] of the cry [07775] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] because of them that dwell in a far [04801] country [0776]: Is not the LORD [03068] in Zion [06726]? is not her king [04428] in her? Why have they provoked me to anger [03707] with their graven images [06456], and with strange [05236] vanities [01892]? 24 8 20 The harvest [07105] is past [05674], the summer [07019] is ended [03615], and we are not saved [03467]. 24 8 21 For the hurt [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] am I hurt [07665]; I am black [06937]; astonishment [08047] hath taken hold [02388] on me. 24 8 22 Is there no balm [06875] in Gilead [01568]; is there no physician [07495] there? why then [03588] is not the health [0724] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] recovered [05927]? 24 9 1 Oh that [05414] my head [07218] were waters [04325], and mine eyes [05869] a fountain [04726] of tears [01832], that I might weep [01058] day [03119] and night [03915] for the slain [02491] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]! 24 9 2 Oh that [05414] I had in the wilderness [04057] a lodging place [04411] of wayfaring men [0732]; that I might leave [05800] my people [05971], and go [03212] from them! for they be all adulterers [05003], an assembly [06116] of treacherous men [0898]. 24 9 3 And they bend [01869] their tongues [03956] like their bow [07198] for lies [08267]: but they are not valiant [01396] for the truth [0530] upon the earth [0776]; for they proceed [03318] from evil [07451] to evil [07451], and they know [03045] not me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 9 4 Take ye heed [08104] every one [0376] of his neighbour [07453], and trust [0982] ye not in any brother [0251]: for every brother [0251] will utterly [06117] supplant [06117], and every neighbour [07453] will walk [01980] with slanders [07400]. 24 9 5 And they will deceive [02048] every one [0376] his neighbour [07453], and will not speak [01696] the truth [0571]: they have taught [03925] their tongue [03956] to speak [01696] lies [08267], and weary [03811] themselves to commit iniquity [05753]. 24 9 6 Thine habitation [03427] is in the midst [08432] of deceit [04820]; through deceit [04820] they refuse [03985] to know [03045] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 9 7 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Behold, I will melt [06884] them, and try [0974] them; for how shall I do [06213] for [06440] the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]? 24 9 8 Their tongue [03956] is as an arrow [02671] shot out [07819]; it speaketh [01696] deceit [04820]: one speaketh [01696] peaceably [07965] to his neighbour [07453] with his mouth [06310], but in heart [07130] he layeth [07760] his wait [0696]. 24 9 9 Shall I not visit [06485] them for these things? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: shall not my soul [05315] be avenged [05358] on such a nation [01471] as this? 24 9 10 For the mountains [02022] will I take up [05375] a weeping [01065] and wailing [05092], and for the habitations [04999] of the wilderness [04057] a lamentation [07015], because they are burned up [03341], so that none [0376] can pass [05674] through them; neither can men hear [08085] the voice [06963] of the cattle [04735]; both the fowl [05775] of the heavens [08064] and the beast [0929] are fled [05074]; they are gone [01980]. 24 9 11 And I will make [05414] Jerusalem [03389] heaps [01530], and a den [04583] of dragons [08577]; and I will make [05414] the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] desolate [08077], without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 9 12 Who is the wise [02450] man [0376], that may understand [0995] this? and who is he to whom the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], that he may declare [05046] it, for what the land [0776] perisheth [06] and is burned up [03341] like a wilderness [04057], that none passeth through [05674]? 24 9 13 And the LORD [03068] saith [0559], Because they have forsaken [05800] my law [08451] which I set [05414] before [06440] them, and have not obeyed [08085] my voice [06963], neither walked [01980] therein; 24 9 14 But have walked [03212] after [0310] the imagination [08307] of their own heart [03820], and after [0310] Baalim [01168], which their fathers [01] taught [03925] them: 24 9 15 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will feed [0398] them, even this people [05971], with wormwood [03939], and give them water [04325] of gall [07219] to drink [08248]. 24 9 16 I will scatter [06327] them also among the heathen [01471], whom neither they nor their fathers [01] have known [03045]: and I will send [07971] a sword [02719] after [0310] them, till I have consumed [03615] them. 24 9 17 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Consider [0995] ye, and call [07121] for the mourning women [06969], that they may come [0935]; and send [07971] for cunning [02450] women, that they may come [0935]: 24 9 18 And let them make haste [04116], and take up [05375] a wailing [05092] for us, that our eyes [05869] may run down [03381] with tears [01832], and our eyelids [06079] gush out [05140] with waters [04325]. 24 9 19 For a voice [06963] of wailing [05092] is heard [08085] out of Zion [06726], How are we spoiled [07703] ! we are greatly [03966] confounded [0954], because we have forsaken [05800] the land [0776], because our dwellings [04908] have cast us out [07993]. 24 9 20 Yet hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O ye women [0802], and let your ear [0241] receive [03947] the word [01697] of his mouth [06310], and teach [03925] your daughters [01323] wailing [05092], and every one [0802] her neighbour [07468] lamentation [07015]. 24 9 21 For death [04194] is come up [05927] into our windows [02474], and is entered [0935] into our palaces [0759], to cut off [03772] the children [05768] from without [02351], and the young men [0970] from the streets [07339]. 24 9 22 Speak [01696], Thus saith [05002] the LORD [03068], Even the carcases [05038] of men [0120] shall fall [05307] as dung [01828] upon the open [06440] field [07704], and as the handful [05995] after [0310] the harvestman [07114], and none shall gather [0622] them. 24 9 23 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Let not the wise [02450] man glory [01984] in his wisdom [02451], neither let the mighty [01368] man glory [01984] in his might [01369], let not the rich [06223] man glory [01984] in his riches [06239]: 24 9 24 But let him that glorieth [01984] glory [01984] in this, that he understandeth [07919] and knoweth [03045] me, that I am the LORD [03068] which exercise [06213] lovingkindness [02617], judgment [04941], and righteousness [06666], in the earth [0776]: for in these things I delight [02654], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 9 25 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will punish [06485] all them which are circumcised [04135] with the uncircumcised [06190]; 24 9 26 Egypt [04714], and Judah [03063], and Edom [0123], and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and Moab [04124], and all that are in the utmost [07112] corners [06285], that dwell [03427] in the wilderness [04057]: for all these nations [01471] are uncircumcised [06189], and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] are uncircumcised [06189] in the heart [03820]. 24 10 1 Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] which the LORD [03068] speaketh [01696] unto you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478]: 24 10 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Learn [03925] not the way [01870] of the heathen [01471], and be not dismayed [02865] at the signs [0226] of heaven [08064]; for the heathen [01471] are dismayed [02865] at them [01992]. 24 10 3 For the customs [02708] of the people [05971] are vain [01892]: for one cutteth [03772] a tree [06086] out of the forest [03293], the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of the workman [02796], with the axe [04621]. 24 10 4 They deck [03302] it with silver [03701] and with gold [02091]; they fasten [02388] it with nails [04548] and with hammers [04717], that it move [06328] not. 24 10 5 They are upright [04749] as the palm tree [08560], but speak [01696] not: they must needs [05375] be borne [05375], because they cannot go [06805]. Be not afraid [03372] of them; for they cannot do evil [07489], neither also is it in them to do good [03190]. 24 10 6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD [03068]; thou art great [01419], and thy name [08034] is great [01419] in might [01369]. 24 10 7 Who would not fear [03372] thee, O King [04428] of nations [01471]? for to thee doth it appertain [02969]: forasmuch as among all the wise [02450] men of the nations [01471], and in all their kingdoms [04438], there is none like unto thee. 24 10 8 But they are altogether [0259] brutish [01197] and foolish [03688]: the stock [06086] is a doctrine [04148] of vanities [01892]. 24 10 9 Silver [03701] spread into plates [07554] is brought [0935] from Tarshish [08659], and gold [02091] from Uphaz [0210], the work [04639] of the workman [02796], and of the hands [03027] of the founder [06884]: blue [08504] and purple [0713] is their clothing [03830]: they are all the work [04639] of cunning [02450] men. 24 10 10 But the LORD [03068] is the true [0571] God [0430], he is the living [02416] God [0430], and an everlasting [05769] king [04428]: at his wrath [07110] the earth [0776] shall tremble [07493], and the nations [01471] shall not be able to abide [03557] his indignation [02195]. 24 10 11 Thus [01836] shall ye say [0560] unto them, The gods [0426] that have not [03809] made [05648] the heavens [08065] and the earth [0778], even they shall perish [07] from the earth [0772], and from under [08460] these [0429] heavens [08065]. 24 10 12 He hath made [06213] the earth [0776] by his power [03581], he hath established [03559] the world [08398] by his wisdom [02451], and hath stretched out [05186] the heavens [08064] by his discretion [08394]. 24 10 13 When he uttereth [05414] his voice [06963], there is a multitude [01995] of waters [04325] in the heavens [08064], and he causeth the vapours [05387] to ascend [05927] from the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]; he maketh [06213] lightnings [01300] with rain [04306], and bringeth forth [03318] the wind [07307] out of his treasures [0214]. 24 10 14 Every man [0120] is brutish [01197] in his knowledge [01847]: every founder [06884] is confounded [03001] by the graven image [06459]: for his molten image [05262] is falsehood [08267], and there is no breath [07307] in them. 24 10 15 They are vanity [01892], and the work [04639] of errors [08595]: in the time [06256] of their visitation [06486] they shall perish [06]. 24 10 16 The portion [02506] of Jacob [03290] is not like them: for he is the former [03335] of all things; and Israel [03478] is the rod [07626] of his inheritance [05159]: The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]. 24 10 17 Gather up [0622] thy wares [03666] out of the land [0776], O inhabitant [03427] of the fortress [04692]. 24 10 18 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will sling [07049] out the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] at this once [06471], and will distress [06887] them, that they may find [04672] it so. 24 10 19 Woe [0188] is me for my hurt [07667]! my wound [04347] is grievous [02470]: but I said [0559], Truly [0389] this is a grief [02483], and I must bear [05375] it. 24 10 20 My tabernacle [0168] is spoiled [07703], and all my cords [04340] are broken [05423]: my children [01121] are gone forth [03318] of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth [05186] my tent [0168] any more, and to set up [06965] my curtains [03407]. 24 10 21 For the pastors [07462] are become brutish [01197], and have not sought [01875] the LORD [03068]: therefore they shall not prosper [07919], and all their flocks [04830] shall be scattered [06327]. 24 10 22 Behold, the noise [06963] of the bruit [08052] is come [0935], and a great [01419] commotion [07494] out of the north [06828] country [0776], to make [07760] the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] desolate [08077], and a den [04583] of dragons [08577]. 24 10 23 O LORD [03068], I know [03045] that the way [01870] of man [0120] is not in himself: it is not in man [0376] that walketh [01980] to direct [03559] his steps [06806]. 24 10 24 O LORD [03068], correct [03256] me, but with judgment [04941]; not in thine anger [0639], lest thou bring me to nothing [04591]. 24 10 25 Pour out [08210] thy fury [02534] upon the heathen [01471] that know [03045] thee not, and upon the families [04940] that call [07121] not on thy name [08034]: for they have eaten up [0398] Jacob [03290], and devoured [0398] him, and consumed [03615] him, and have made his habitation [05116] desolate [08074]. 24 11 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 11 2 Hear [08085] ye the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], and speak [01696] unto the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; 24 11 3 And say [0559] thou unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] that obeyeth [08085] not the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], 24 11 4 Which I commanded [06680] your fathers [01] in the day [03117] that I brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the iron [01270] furnace [03564], saying [0559], Obey [08085] my voice [06963], and do [06213] them, according to all which I command [06680] you: so shall ye be my people [05971], and I will be your God [0430]: 24 11 5 That I may perform [06965] the oath [07621] which I have sworn [07650] unto your fathers [01], to give [05414] them a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], as it is this day [03117]. Then answered [06030] I, and said [0559], So be it [0543], O LORD [03068]. 24 11 6 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Proclaim [07121] all these words [01697] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Hear [08085] ye the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], and do [06213] them. 24 11 7 For I earnestly [05749] protested [05749] unto your fathers [01] in the day [03117] that I brought them up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], even unto this day [03117], rising early [07925] and protesting [05749], saying [0559], Obey [08085] my voice [06963]. 24 11 8 Yet they obeyed [08085] not, nor inclined [05186] their ear [0241], but walked [03212] every one [0376] in the imagination [08307] of their evil [07451] heart [03820]: therefore I will bring [0935] upon them all the words [01697] of this covenant [01285], which I commanded [06680] them to do [06213]; but they did [06213] them not. 24 11 9 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, A conspiracy [07195] is found [04672] among the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and among the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]. 24 11 10 They are turned back [07725] to the iniquities [05771] of their forefathers [07223] [01], which refused [03985] to hear [08085] my words [01697]; and they went [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them: the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and the house [01004] of Judah [03063] have broken [06565] my covenant [01285] which I made [03772] with their fathers [01]. 24 11 11 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon them, which they shall not be able [03201] to escape [03318]; and though they shall cry [02199] unto me, I will not hearken [08085] unto them. 24 11 12 Then shall the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] and inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] go [01980], and cry [02199] unto the gods [0430] unto whom they offer incense [06999]: but they shall not save [03467] them at all [03467] in the time [06256] of their trouble [07451]. 24 11 13 For according to the number [04557] of thy cities [05892] were thy gods [0430], O Judah [03063]; and according to the number [04557] of the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389] have ye set up [07760] altars [04196] to that shameful thing [01322], even altars [04196] to burn incense [06999] unto Baal [01168]. 24 11 14 Therefore pray [06419] not thou for this people [05971], neither lift up [05375] a cry [07440] or prayer [08605] for them: for I will not hear [08085] them in the time [06256] that they cry [07121] unto me for their trouble [07451]. 24 11 15 What hath my beloved [03039] to do in mine house [01004], seeing she hath wrought [06213] lewdness [04209] with many [07227], and the holy [06944] flesh [01320] is passed [05674] from thee? when thou doest evil [07451], then thou rejoicest [05937]. 24 11 16 The LORD [03068] called [07121] thy name [08034], A green [07488] olive tree [02132], fair [03303], and of goodly [08389] fruit [06529]: with the noise [06963] of a great [01419] tumult [01999] he hath kindled [03341] fire [0784] upon it, and the branches [01808] of it are broken [07489]. 24 11 17 For the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that planted [05193] thee, hath pronounced [01696] evil [07451] against thee, for [01558] the evil [07451] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and of the house [01004] of Judah [03063], which they have done [06213] against themselves to provoke me to anger [03707] in offering incense [06999] unto Baal [01168]. 24 11 18 And the LORD [03068] hath given me knowledge [03045] of it, and I know [03045] it: then thou shewedst [07200] me their doings [04611]. 24 11 19 But I was like a lamb [03532] or an ox [0441] that is brought [02986] to the slaughter [02873]; and I knew [03045] not that they had devised [02803] devices [04284] against me, saying, Let us destroy [07843] the tree [06086] with the fruit [03899] thereof, and let us cut him off [03772] from the land [0776] of the living [02416], that his name [08034] may be no more remembered [02142]. 24 11 20 But, O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that judgest [08199] righteously [06664], that triest [0974] the reins [03629] and the heart [03820], let me see [07200] thy vengeance [05360] on them: for unto thee have I revealed [01540] my cause [07379]. 24 11 21 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of the men [0582] of Anathoth [06068], that seek [01245] thy life [05315], saying [0559], Prophesy [05012] not in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], that thou die [04191] not by our hand [03027]: 24 11 22 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Behold, I will punish [06485] them: the young men [0970] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719]; their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] shall die [04191] by famine [07458]: 24 11 23 And there shall be no remnant [07611] of them: for I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon the men [0582] of Anathoth [06068], even the year [08141] of their visitation [06486]. 24 12 1 Righteous [06662] art thou, O LORD [03068], when I plead [07378] with thee: yet let me talk [01696] with thee of thy judgments [04941]: Wherefore doth the way [01870] of the wicked [07563] prosper [06743]? wherefore are all they happy [07951] that deal very [0899] treacherously [0898]? 24 12 2 Thou hast planted [05193] them, yea, they have taken root [08327]: they grow [03212], yea, they bring forth [06213] fruit [06529]: thou art near [07138] in their mouth [06310], and far from [07350] their reins [03629]. 24 12 3 But thou, O LORD [03068], knowest [03045] me: thou hast seen [07200] me, and tried [0974] mine heart [03820] toward thee: pull them out [05423] like sheep [06629] for the slaughter [02878], and prepare [06942] them for the day [03117] of slaughter [02028]. 24 12 4 How long shall the land [0776] mourn [056], and the herbs [06212] of every field [07704] wither [03001], for the wickedness [07451] of them that dwell [03427] therein? the beasts [0929] are consumed [05595], and the birds [05775]; because they said [0559], He shall not see [07200] our last end [0319]. 24 12 5 If thou hast run [07323] with the footmen [07273], and they have wearied [03811] thee, then how canst thou contend [08474] with horses [05483]? and if in the land [0776] of peace [07965], wherein thou trustedst [0982], they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do [06213] in the swelling [01347] of Jordan [03383]? 24 12 6 For even thy brethren [0251], and the house [01004] of thy father [01], even they have dealt treacherously [0898] with thee; yea, they have called [07121] a multitude [04392] after [0310] thee: believe [0539] them not, though they speak [01696] fair words [02896] unto thee. 24 12 7 I have forsaken [05800] mine house [01004], I have left [05203] mine heritage [05159]; I have given [05414] the dearly beloved [03033] of my soul [05315] into the hand [03709] of her enemies [0341]. 24 12 8 Mine heritage [05159] is unto me as a lion [0738] in the forest [03293]; it crieth out [05414] [06963] against me: therefore have I hated [08130] it. 24 12 9 Mine heritage [05159] is unto me as a speckled [06641] bird [05861], the birds [05861] round about [05439] are against her; come [03212] ye, assemble [0622] all the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], come [0857] to devour [0402]. 24 12 10 Many [07227] pastors [07462] have destroyed [07843] my vineyard [03754], they have trodden [0947] my portion [02513] under foot [0947], they have made [05414] my pleasant [02532] portion [02513] a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057]. 24 12 11 They have made [07760] it desolate [08076], and being desolate [08077] it mourneth [056] unto me; the whole land [0776] is made desolate [08074], because no man [0376] layeth [07760] it to heart [03820]. 24 12 12 The spoilers [07703] are come [0935] upon all high places [08205] through the wilderness [04057]: for the sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] shall devour [0398] from the one end [07097] of the land [0776] even to the other end [07097] of the land [0776]: no flesh [01320] shall have peace [07965]. 24 12 13 They have sown [02232] wheat [02406], but shall reap [07114] thorns [06975]: they have put themselves to pain [02470], but shall not profit [03276]: and they shall be ashamed [0954] of your revenues [08393] because of the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068]. 24 12 14 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] against all mine evil [07451] neighbours [07934], that touch [05060] the inheritance [05159] which I have caused my people [05971] Israel [03478] to inherit [05157]; Behold, I will pluck them out [05428] of their land [0127], and pluck out [05428] the house [01004] of Judah [03063] from among [08432] them. 24 12 15 And it shall come to pass, after [0310] that I have plucked them out [05428] I will return [07725], and have compassion [07355] on them, and will bring them again [07725], every man [0376] to his heritage [05159], and every man [0376] to his land [0776]. 24 12 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently [03925] learn [03925] the ways [01870] of my people [05971], to swear [07650] by my name [08034], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]; as they taught [03925] my people [05971] to swear [07650] by Baal [01168]; then shall they be built [01129] in the midst [08432] of my people [05971]. 24 12 17 But if they will not obey [08085], I will utterly [05428] pluck up [05428] and destroy [06] that nation [01471], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 13 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Go [01980] and get [07069] thee a linen [06593] girdle [0232], and put [07760] it upon thy loins [04975], and put [0935] it not in water [04325]. 24 13 2 So I got [07069] a girdle [0232] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and put [07760] it on my loins [04975]. 24 13 3 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me the second time [08145], saying [0559], 24 13 4 Take [03947] the girdle [0232] that thou hast got [07069], which is upon thy loins [04975], and arise [06965], go [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and hide [02934] it there in a hole [05357] of the rock [05553]. 24 13 5 So I went [03212], and hid [02934] it by Euphrates [06578], as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] me. 24 13 6 And it came to pass after [07093] many [07227] days [03117], that the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Arise [06965], go [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and take [03947] the girdle [0232] from thence, which I commanded [06680] thee to hide [02934] there. 24 13 7 Then I went [03212] to Euphrates [06578], and digged [02658], and took [03947] the girdle [0232] from the place [04725] where I had hid [02934] it: and, behold, the girdle [0232] was marred [07843], it was profitable [06743] for nothing. 24 13 8 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 24 13 9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], After this manner will I mar [07843] the pride [01347] of Judah [03063], and the great [07227] pride [01347] of Jerusalem [03389]. 24 13 10 This evil [07451] people [05971], which refuse [03987] to hear [08085] my words [01697], which walk [01980] in the imagination [08307] of their heart [03820], and walk [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], to serve [05647] them, and to worship [07812] them, shall even be as this girdle [0232], which is good [06743] for nothing. 24 13 11 For as the girdle [0232] cleaveth [01692] to the loins [04975] of a man [0376], so have I caused to cleave [01692] unto me the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478] and the whole house [01004] of Judah [03063], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; that they might be unto me for a people [05971], and for a name [08034], and for a praise [08416], and for a glory [08597]: but they would not hear [08085]. 24 13 12 Therefore thou shalt speak [0559] unto them this word [01697]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], Every bottle [05035] shall be filled [04390] with wine [03196]: and they shall say [0559] unto thee, Do we not certainly [03045] know [03045] that every bottle [05035] shall be filled [04390] with wine [03196]? 24 13 13 Then shalt thou say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will fill [04390] all the inhabitants [03427] of this land [0776], even the kings [04428] that sit [03427] upon David's [01732] throne [03678], and the priests [03548], and the prophets [05030], and all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], with drunkenness [07943]. 24 13 14 And I will dash [05310] them one [0376] against another [0251], even the fathers [01] and the sons [01121] together [03162], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: I will not pity [02550], nor spare [02347], nor have mercy [07355], but destroy [07843] them. 24 13 15 Hear [08085] ye, and give ear [0238]; be not proud [01361]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696]. 24 13 16 Give [05414] glory [03519] to the LORD [03068] your God [0430], before he cause darkness [02821], and before your feet [07272] stumble [05062] upon the dark [05399] mountains [02022], and, while ye look [06960] for light [0216], he turn [07760] it into the shadow of death [06757], and make [07896] [07896] it gross darkness [06205]. 24 13 17 But if ye will not hear [08085] it, my soul [05315] shall weep [01058] in secret places [04565] for [06440] your pride [01466]; and mine eye [05869] shall weep [01830] sore [01830], and run down [03381] with tears [01832], because the LORD'S [03068] flock [05739] is carried away captive [07617]. 24 13 18 Say [0559] unto the king [04428] and to the queen [01377], Humble [08213] yourselves, sit down [03427]: for your principalities [04761] shall come down [03381], even the crown [05850] of your glory [08597]. 24 13 19 The cities [05892] of the south [05045] shall be shut up [05462], and none shall open [06605] them: Judah [03063] shall be carried away captive [01540] all of it, it shall be wholly [07965] carried away captive [01540]. 24 13 20 Lift up [05375] your eyes [05869], and behold [07200] them that come [0935] from the north [06828]: where is the flock [05739] that was given [05414] thee, thy beautiful [08597] flock [06629]? 24 13 21 What wilt thou say [0559] when he shall punish [06485] thee? for thou hast taught [03925] them to be captains [0441], and as chief [07218] over thee: shall not sorrows [02256] take [0270] thee, as a woman [0802] in travail [03205]? 24 13 22 And if thou say [0559] in thine heart [03824], Wherefore come [07122] these things upon me? For the greatness [07230] of thine iniquity [05771] are thy skirts [07757] discovered [01540], and thy heels [06119] made bare [02554]. 24 13 23 Can the Ethiopian [03569] change [02015] his skin [05785], or the leopard [05246] his spots [02272]? then may [03201] ye also do good [03190], that are accustomed [03928] to do evil [07489]. 24 13 24 Therefore will I scatter [06327] them as the stubble [07179] that passeth away [05674] by the wind [07307] of the wilderness [04057]. 24 13 25 This is thy lot [01486], the portion [04490] of thy measures [04055] from me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; because thou hast forgotten [07911] me, and trusted [0982] in falsehood [08267]. 24 13 26 Therefore will I discover [02834] thy skirts [07757] upon thy face [06440], that thy shame [07036] may appear [07200]. 24 13 27 I have seen [07200] thine adulteries [05004], and thy neighings [04684], the lewdness [02154] of thy whoredom [02184], and thine abominations [08251] on the hills [01389] in the fields [07704]. Woe [0188] unto thee, O Jerusalem [03389]! wilt thou not be made clean [02891]? when shall it once [05750] [0310] be? 24 14 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning [01697] the dearth [01226]. 24 14 2 Judah [03063] mourneth [056], and the gates [08179] thereof languish [0535]; they are black [06937] unto the ground [0776]; and the cry [06682] of Jerusalem [03389] is gone up [05927]. 24 14 3 And their nobles [0117] have sent [07971] their little ones [06810] to the waters [04325]: they came [0935] to the pits [01356] [01360], and found [04672] no water [04325]; they returned [07725] with their vessels [03627] empty [07387]; they were ashamed [0954] and confounded [03637], and covered [02645] their heads [07218]. 24 14 4 Because the ground [0127] is chapt [02865], for there was no rain [01653] in the earth [0776], the plowmen [0406] were ashamed [0954], they covered [02645] their heads [07218]. 24 14 5 Yea, the hind [0365] also calved [03205] in the field [07704], and forsook [05800] it, because there was no grass [01877]. 24 14 6 And the wild asses [06501] did stand [05975] in the high places [08205], they snuffed up [07602] the wind [07307] like dragons [08577]; their eyes [05869] did fail [03615], because there was no grass [06212]. 24 14 7 O LORD [03068], though our iniquities [05771] testify [06030] against us, do [06213] thou it for thy name's [08034] sake: for our backslidings [04878] are many [07231]; we have sinned [02398] against thee. 24 14 8 O the hope [04723] of Israel [03478], the saviour [03467] thereof in time [06256] of trouble [06869], why shouldest thou be as a stranger [01616] in the land [0776], and as a wayfaring man [0732] that turneth aside [05186] to tarry for a night [03885]? 24 14 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man [0376] astonied [01724], as a mighty man [01368] that cannot [03201] save [03467]? yet thou, O LORD [03068], art in the midst [07130] of us, and we are called [07121] by thy name [08034]; leave [03240] us not. 24 14 10 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto this people [05971], Thus have they loved [0157] to wander [05128], they have not refrained [02820] their feet [07272], therefore the LORD [03068] doth not accept [07521] them; he will now remember [02142] their iniquity [05771], and visit [06485] their sins [02403]. 24 14 11 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Pray [06419] not for this people [05971] for their good [02896]. 24 14 12 When they fast [06684], I will not hear [08085] their cry [07440]; and when they offer [05927] burnt offering [05930] and an oblation [04503], I will not accept [07521] them: but I will consume [03615] them by the sword [02719], and by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]. 24 14 13 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, the prophets [05030] say [0559] unto them, Ye shall not see [07200] the sword [02719], neither shall ye have famine [07458]; but I will give [05414] you assured [0571] peace [07965] in this place [04725]. 24 14 14 Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, The prophets [05030] prophesy [05012] lies [08267] in my name [08034]: I sent [07971] them not, neither have I commanded [06680] them, neither spake [01696] unto them: they prophesy [05012] unto you a false [08267] vision [02377] and divination [07081], and a thing of nought [0457] [0434], and the deceit [08649] of their heart [03820]. 24 14 15 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] in my name [08034], and I sent [07971] them not, yet they say [0559], Sword [02719] and famine [07458] shall not be in this land [0776]; By sword [02719] and famine [07458] shall those prophets [05030] be consumed [08552]. 24 14 16 And the people [05971] to whom they prophesy [05012] shall be cast out [07993] in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389] because [06440] of the famine [07458] and the sword [02719]; and they shall have none to bury [06912] them [01992], them, their wives [0802], nor their sons [01121], nor their daughters [01323]: for I will pour [08210] their wickedness [07451] upon them. 24 14 17 Therefore thou shalt say [0559] this word [01697] unto them; Let mine eyes [05869] run down [03381] with tears [01832] night [03915] and day [03119], and let them not cease [01820]: for the virgin [01330] daughter [01323] of my people [05971] is broken [07665] with a great [01419] breach [07667], with a very [03966] grievous [02470] blow [04347]. 24 14 18 If I go forth [03318] into the field [07704], then behold the slain [02491] with the sword [02719]! and if I enter [0935] into the city [05892], then behold them that are sick [08463] with famine [07458]! yea, both the prophet [05030] and the priest [03548] go about [05503] into a land [0776] that they know [03045] not. 24 14 19 Hast thou utterly [03988] rejected [03988] Judah [03063]? hath thy soul [05315] lothed [01602] Zion [06726]? why hast thou smitten [05221] us, and there is no healing [04832] for us? we looked [06960] for peace [07965], and there is no good [02896]; and for the time [06256] of healing [04832], and behold trouble [01205]! 24 14 20 We acknowledge [03045], O LORD [03068], our wickedness [07562], and the iniquity [05771] of our fathers [01]: for we have sinned [02398] against thee. 24 14 21 Do not abhor [05006] us, for thy name's [08034] sake, do not disgrace [05034] the throne [03678] of thy glory [03519]: remember [02142], break [06565] not thy covenant [01285] with us. 24 14 22 Are there [03426] any among the vanities [01892] of the Gentiles [01471] that can cause rain [01652]? or can the heavens [08064] give [05414] showers [07241]? art not thou he, O LORD [03068] our God [0430]? therefore we will wait [06960] upon thee: for thou hast made [06213] all these things. 24 15 1 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Though Moses [04872] and Samuel [08050] stood [05975] before [06440] me, yet my mind [05315] could not be toward this people [05971]: cast them out [07971] of my sight [06440], and let them go forth [03318]. 24 15 2 And it shall come to pass, if they say [0559] unto thee, Whither shall we go forth [03318]? then thou shalt tell [0559] them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Such as are for death [04194], to death [04194]; and such as are for the sword [02719], to the sword [02719]; and such as are for the famine [07458], to the famine [07458]; and such as are for the captivity [07628], to the captivity [07628]. 24 15 3 And I will appoint [06485] over them four [0702] kinds [04940], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: the sword [02719] to slay [02026], and the dogs [03611] to tear [05498], and the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776], to devour [0398] and destroy [07843]. 24 15 4 And I will cause [05414] them to be removed [02189] [02113] into all kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776], because [01558] of Manasseh [04519] the son [01121] of Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063], for that which he did [06213] in Jerusalem [03389]. 24 15 5 For who shall have pity [02550] upon thee, O Jerusalem [03389]? or who shall bemoan [05110] thee? or who shall go aside [05493] to ask [07592] how thou doest [07965]? 24 15 6 Thou hast forsaken [05203] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], thou art gone [03212] backward [0268]: therefore will I stretch out [05186] my hand [03027] against thee, and destroy [07843] thee; I am weary [03811] with repenting [05162]. 24 15 7 And I will fan [02219] them with a fan [04214] in the gates [08179] of the land [0776]; I will bereave [07921] them of children, I will destroy [06] my people [05971], since they return [07725] not from their ways [01870]. 24 15 8 Their widows [0490] are increased [06105] to me above the sand [02344] of the seas [03220]: I have brought [0935] upon them against the mother [0517] of the young men [0970] a spoiler [07703] at noonday [06672]: I have caused him to fall [05307] upon it suddenly [06597], and terrors [0928] upon the city [05892]. 24 15 9 She that hath borne [03205] seven [07651] languisheth [0535]: she hath given up [05301] the ghost [05315]; her sun [08121] is gone [0935] down while it was yet day [03119] [03117]: she hath been ashamed [0954] and confounded [02659]: and the residue [07611] of them will I deliver [05414] to the sword [02719] before [06440] their enemies [0341], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 15 10 Woe [0188] is me, my mother [0517], that thou hast borne [03205] me a man [0376] of strife [07379] and a man [0376] of contention [04066] to the whole earth [0776]! I have neither lent on usury [05383], nor men have lent to me on usury [05383]; yet every one of them doth curse [07043] me. 24 15 11 The LORD [03068] said [0559], Verily [03808] [0518] it shall be well [02896] with thy remnant [08281] [08293]; verily [0518] I will cause the enemy [0341] to entreat [06293] thee well in the time [06256] of evil [07451] and in the time [06256] of affliction [06869]. 24 15 12 Shall iron [01270] break [07489] the northern [06828] iron [01270] and the steel [05178]? 24 15 13 Thy substance [02428] and thy treasures [0214] will I give [05414] to the spoil [0957] without price [04242], and that for all thy sins [02403], even in all thy borders [01366]. 24 15 14 And I will make thee to pass [05674] with thine enemies [0341] into a land [0776] which thou knowest [03045] not: for a fire [0784] is kindled [06919] in mine anger [0639], which shall burn [03344] upon you. 24 15 15 O LORD [03068], thou knowest [03045]: remember [02142] me, and visit [06485] me, and revenge [05358] me of my persecutors [07291]; take me not away [03947] in thy longsuffering [0639] [0750]: know [03045] that for thy sake I have suffered [05375] rebuke [02781]. 24 15 16 Thy words [01697] were found [04672], and I did eat [0398] them; and thy word [01697] was unto me the joy [08342] and rejoicing [08057] of mine heart [03824]: for I am called [07121] by thy name [08034], O LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635]. 24 15 17 I sat [03427] not in the assembly [05475] of the mockers [07832], nor rejoiced [05937]; I sat [03427] alone [0910] because [06440] of thy hand [03027]: for thou hast filled [04390] me with indignation [02195]. 24 15 18 Why is my pain [03511] perpetual [05331], and my wound [04347] incurable [0605], which refuseth [03985] to be healed [07495]? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar [0391], and as waters [04325] that fail [0539]? 24 15 19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], If thou return [07725], then will I bring thee again [07725], and thou shalt stand [05975] before [06440] me: and if thou take forth [03318] the precious [03368] from the vile [02151], thou shalt be as my mouth [06310]: let them return [07725] unto thee; but return [07725] not thou unto them. 24 15 20 And I will make [05414] thee unto this people [05971] a fenced [01219] brasen [05178] wall [02346]: and they shall fight [03898] against thee, but they shall not prevail [03201] against thee: for I am with thee to save [03467] thee and to deliver [05337] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 15 21 And I will deliver [05337] thee out of the hand [03027] of the wicked [07451], and I will redeem [06299] thee out of the hand [03709] of the terrible [06184]. 24 16 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came also unto me, saying [0559], 24 16 2 Thou shalt not take [03947] thee a wife [0802], neither shalt thou have sons [01121] or daughters [01323] in this place [04725]. 24 16 3 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the sons [01121] and concerning the daughters [01323] that are born [03205] in this place [04725], and concerning their mothers [0517] that bare [03205] them, and concerning their fathers [01] that begat [03209] them in this land [0776]; 24 16 4 They shall die [04191] of grievous [08463] deaths [04463]; they shall not be lamented [05594]; neither shall they be buried [06912]; but they shall be as dung [01828] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]: and they shall be consumed [03615] by the sword [02719], and by famine [07458]; and their carcases [05038] shall be meat [03978] for the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064], and for the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]. 24 16 5 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Enter [0935] not into the house [01004] of mourning [04798], neither go [03212] to lament [05594] nor bemoan [05110] them: for I have taken away [0622] my peace [07965] from this people [05971], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], even lovingkindness [02617] and mercies [07356]. 24 16 6 Both the great [01419] and the small [06996] shall die [04191] in this land [0776]: they shall not be buried [06912], neither shall men lament [05594] for them, nor cut [01413] themselves, nor make themselves bald [07139] for them: 24 16 7 Neither shall men tear [06536] themselves for them in mourning [060], to comfort [05162] them for the dead [04191]; neither shall men give them the cup [03563] of consolation [08575] to drink [08248] for their father [01] or for their mother [0517]. 24 16 8 Thou shalt not also go [0935] into the house [01004] of feasting [04960], to sit [03427] with them to eat [0398] and to drink [08354]. 24 16 9 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will cause to cease [07673] out of this place [04725] in your eyes [05869], and in your days [03117], the voice [06963] of mirth [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618]. 24 16 10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew [05046] this people [05971] all these words [01697], and they shall say [0559] unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD [03068] pronounced [01696] all this great [01419] evil [07451] against us? or what is our iniquity [05771]? or what is our sin [02403] that we have committed [02398] against the LORD [03068] our God [0430]? 24 16 11 Then shalt thou say [0559] unto them, Because your fathers [01] have forsaken [05800] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and have walked [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], and have served [05647] them, and have worshipped [07812] them, and have forsaken [05800] me, and have not kept [08104] my law [08451]; 24 16 12 And ye have done [06213] worse [07489] than your fathers [01]; for, behold [02009], ye walk [01980] every one [0376] after [0310] the imagination [08307] of his evil [07451] heart [03820], that they may not hearken [08085] unto me: 24 16 13 Therefore will I cast [02904] you out of this land [0776] into a land [0776] that ye know [03045] not, neither ye nor your fathers [01]; and there shall ye serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430] day [03119] and night [03915]; where I will not shew [05414] you favour [02594]. 24 16 14 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that it shall no more be said [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], that brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; 24 16 15 But, The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], that brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from the land [0776] of the north [06828], and from all the lands [0776] whither he had driven [05080] them: and I will bring them again [07725] into their land [0127] that I gave [05414] unto their fathers [01]. 24 16 16 Behold, I will send [07971] for many [07227] fishers [01771] [01728], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and they shall fish [01770] them; and after [0310] will I send [07971] for many [07227] hunters [06719], and they shall hunt [06679] them from every mountain [02022], and from every hill [01389], and out of the holes [05357] of the rocks [05553]. 24 16 17 For mine eyes [05869] are upon all their ways [01870]: they are not hid [05641] from my face [06440], neither is their iniquity [05771] hid [06845] from [05048] mine eyes [05869]. 24 16 18 And first [07223] I will recompense [07999] their iniquity [05771] and their sin [02403] double [04932]; because they have defiled [02490] my land [0776], they have filled [04390] mine inheritance [05159] with the carcases [05038] of their detestable [08251] and abominable things [08441]. 24 16 19 O LORD [03068], my strength [05797], and my fortress [04581], and my refuge [04498] in the day [03117] of affliction [06869], the Gentiles [01471] shall come [0935] unto thee from the ends [0657] of the earth [0776], and shall say [0559], Surely our fathers [01] have inherited [05157] lies [08267], vanity [01892], and things wherein there is no profit [03276]. 24 16 20 Shall a man [0120] make [06213] gods [0430] unto himself, and they are no gods [0430]? 24 16 21 Therefore, behold, I will this once [06471] cause them to know [03045], I will cause them to know [03045] mine hand [03027] and my might [01369]; and they shall know [03045] that my name [08034] is The LORD [03068]. 24 17 1 The sin [02403] of Judah [03063] is written [03789] with a pen [05842] of iron [01270], and with the point [06856] of a diamond [08068]: it is graven [02790] upon the table [03871] of their heart [03820], and upon the horns [07161] of your altars [04196]; 24 17 2 Whilst their children [01121] remember [02142] their altars [04196] and their groves [0842] by the green [07488] trees [06086] upon the high [01364] hills [01389]. 24 17 3 O my mountain [02042] in the field [07704], I will give [05414] thy substance [02428] and all thy treasures [0214] to the spoil [0957], and thy high places [01116] for sin [02403], throughout all thy borders [01366]. 24 17 4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue [08058] from thine heritage [05159] that I gave [05414] thee; and I will cause thee to serve [05647] thine enemies [0341] in the land [0776] which thou knowest [03045] not: for ye have kindled [06919] a fire [0784] in mine anger [0639], which shall burn [03344] for [05704] ever [05769]. 24 17 5 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Cursed [0779] be the man [01397] that trusteth [0982] in man [0120], and maketh [07760] flesh [01320] his arm [02220], and whose heart [03820] departeth [05493] from the LORD [03068]. 24 17 6 For he shall be like the heath [06199] in the desert [06160], and shall not see [07200] when good [02896] cometh [0935]; but shall inhabit [07931] the parched places [02788] in the wilderness [04057], in a salt [04420] land [0776] and not inhabited [03427]. 24 17 7 Blessed [01288] is the man [01397] that trusteth [0982] in the LORD [03068], and whose hope [04009] the LORD [03068] is. 24 17 8 For he shall be as a tree [06086] planted [08362] by the waters [04325], and that spreadeth out [07971] her roots [08328] by the river [03105], and shall not see [07200] when heat [02527] cometh [0935], but her leaf [05929] shall be green [07488]; and shall not be careful [01672] in the year [08141] of drought [01226], neither shall cease [04185] from yielding [06213] fruit [06529]. 24 17 9 The heart [03820] is deceitful [06121] above all things, and desperately wicked [0605]: who can know [03045] it? 24 17 10 I the LORD [03068] search [02713] the heart [03820], I try [0974] the reins [03629], even to give [05414] every man [0376] according to his ways [01870], and according to the fruit [06529] of his doings [04611]. 24 17 11 As the partridge [07124] sitteth [01716] on eggs, and hatcheth [03205] them not; so he that getteth [06213] riches [06239], and not by right [04941], shall leave [05800] them in the midst [02677] of his days [03117], and at his end [0319] shall be a fool [05036]. 24 17 12 A glorious [03519] high [04791] throne [03678] from the beginning [07223] is the place [04725] of our sanctuary [04720]. 24 17 13 O LORD [03068], the hope [04723] of Israel [03478], all that forsake [05800] thee shall be ashamed [0954], and they that depart [03249] from me [05493] shall be written [03789] in the earth [0776], because they have forsaken [05800] the LORD [03068], the fountain [04726] of living [02416] waters [04325]. 24 17 14 Heal [07495] me, O LORD [03068], and I shall be healed [07495]; save [03467] me, and I shall be saved [03467]: for thou art my praise [08416]. 24 17 15 Behold, they say [0559] unto me, Where is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]? let it come [0935] now. 24 17 16 As for me, I have not hastened [0213] from being a pastor [07462] to follow [0310] thee: neither have I desired [0183] the woeful [0605] day [03117]; thou knowest [03045]: that which came out [04161] of my lips [08193] was right before [05227] thee [06440]. 24 17 17 Be not a terror [04288] unto me: thou art my hope [04268] in the day [03117] of evil [07451]. 24 17 18 Let them be confounded [0954] that persecute [07291] me, but let not me be confounded [0954]: let them be dismayed [02865], but let not me be dismayed [02865]: bring [0935] upon them the day [03117] of evil [07451], and destroy [07665] them with double [04932] destruction [07670]. 24 17 19 Thus said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me; Go [01980] and stand [05975] in the gate [08179] of the children [01121] of the people [05971], whereby the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] come in [0935], and by the which they go out [03318], and in all the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389]; 24 17 20 And say [0559] unto them, Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and all Judah [03063], and all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], that enter in [0935] by these gates [08179]: 24 17 21 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Take heed [08104] to yourselves [05315], and bear [05375] no burden [04853] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117], nor bring [0935] it in by the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389]; 24 17 22 Neither carry forth [03318] a burden [04853] out of your houses [01004] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117], neither do [06213] ye any work [04399], but hallow [06942] ye the sabbath [07676] day [03117], as I commanded [06680] your fathers [01]. 24 17 23 But they obeyed [08085] not, neither inclined [05186] their ear [0241], but made their neck [06203] stiff [07185], that they might not hear [08085], nor receive [03947] instruction [04148]. 24 17 24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently [08085] hearken [08085] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to bring [0935] in no burden [04853] through the gates [08179] of this city [05892] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117], but hallow [06942] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], to do [06213] no [01115] work [04399] therein; 24 17 25 Then shall there enter [0935] into the gates [08179] of this city [05892] kings [04428] and princes [08269] sitting [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], riding [07392] in chariots [07393] and on horses [05483], they, and their princes [08269], the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]: and this city [05892] shall remain [03427] for ever [05769]. 24 17 26 And they shall come [0935] from the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and from the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and from the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and from the plain [08219], and from the mountains [02022], and from the south [05045], bringing [0935] burnt offerings [05930], and sacrifices [02077], and meat offerings [04503], and incense [03828], and bringing [0935] sacrifices of praise [08426], unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 24 17 27 But if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me to hallow [06942] the sabbath [07676] day [03117], and not to bear [05375] a burden [04853], even entering in [0935] at the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117]; then will I kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the gates [08179] thereof, and it shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Jerusalem [03389], and it shall not be quenched [03518]. 24 18 1 The word [01697] which came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 18 2 Arise [06965], and go down [03381] to the potter's [03335] house [01004], and there I will cause thee to hear [08085] my words [01697]. 24 18 3 Then I went down [03381] to the potter's [03335] house [01004], and, behold [02009], he wrought [06213] a work [04399] on the wheels [070]. 24 18 4 And the vessel [03627] that he made [06213] of clay [02563] was marred [07843] in the hand [03027] of the potter [03335]: so he made [06213] it again [07725] another [0312] vessel [03627], as seemed [05869] good [03474] to the potter [03335] to make [06213] it. 24 18 5 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], 24 18 6 O house [01004] of Israel [03478], cannot [03201] I do [06213] with you as this potter [03335]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Behold, as the clay [02563] is in the potter's [03335] hand [03027], so are ye in mine hand [03027], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 24 18 7 At what instant [07281] I shall speak [01696] concerning a nation [01471], and concerning a kingdom [04467], to pluck up [05428], and to pull down [05422], and to destroy [06] it; 24 18 8 If that nation [01471], against whom I have pronounced [01696], turn [07725] from their evil [07451], I will repent [05162] of the evil [07451] that I thought [02803] to do [06213] unto them. 24 18 9 And at what instant [07281] I shall speak [01696] concerning a nation [01471], and concerning a kingdom [04467], to build [01129] and to plant [05193] it; 24 18 10 If it do [06213] evil [07451] in my sight [05869], that it obey [08085] not my voice [06963], then I will repent [05162] of the good [02896], wherewith I said [0559] I would benefit [03190] them. 24 18 11 Now therefore go to, speak [0559] to the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I frame [03335] evil [07451] against you, and devise [02803] a device [04284] against you: return [07725] ye now every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and make your ways [01870] and your doings [04611] good [03190]. 24 18 12 And they said [0559], There is no hope [02976]: but we will walk [03212] after [0310] our own devices [04284], and we will every one [0376] do [06213] the imagination [08307] of his evil [07451] heart [03820]. 24 18 13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Ask [07592] ye now among the heathen [01471], who hath heard [08085] such things: the virgin [01330] of Israel [03478] hath done [06213] a very [03966] horrible thing [08186]. 24 18 14 Will a man leave [05800] the snow [07950] of Lebanon [03844] which cometh from the rock [06697] of the field [07704]? or shall the cold [07119] flowing [05140] waters [04325] that come from another place [02114] be forsaken [05428]? 24 18 15 Because my people [05971] hath forgotten [07911] me, they have burned incense [06999] to vanity [07723], and they have caused them to stumble [03782] in their ways [01870] from the ancient [05769] paths [07635] [07635], to walk [03212] in paths [05410], in a way [01870] not cast up [05549]; 24 18 16 To make [07760] their land [0776] desolate [08047], and a perpetual [05769] hissing [08292] [08292]; every one that passeth [05674] thereby shall be astonished [08074], and wag [05110] his head [07218]. 24 18 17 I will scatter [06327] them as with an east [06921] wind [07307] before [06440] the enemy [0341]; I will shew [07200] them the back [06203], and not the face [06440], in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343]. 24 18 18 Then said [0559] they, Come [03212], and let us devise [02803] devices [04284] against Jeremiah [03414]; for the law [08451] shall not perish [06] from the priest [03548], nor counsel [06098] from the wise [02450], nor the word [01697] from the prophet [05030]. Come [03212], and let us smite [05221] him with the tongue [03956], and let us not give heed [07181] to any of his words [01697]. 24 18 19 Give heed [07181] to me, O LORD [03068], and hearken [08085] to the voice [06963] of them that contend [03401] with me. 24 18 20 Shall evil [07451] be recompensed [07999] for good [02896]? for they have digged [03738] a pit [07745] for my soul [05315]. Remember [02142] that I stood [05975] before [06440] thee to speak [01696] good [02896] for them, and to turn away [07725] thy wrath [02534] from them. 24 18 21 Therefore deliver up [05414] their children [01121] to the famine [07458], and pour out [05064] their blood by the force [03027] of the sword [02719]; and let their wives [0802] be bereaved [07909] of their children, and be widows [0490]; and let their men [0582] be put [02026] to death [04194]; let their young men [0970] be slain [05221] by the sword [02719] in battle [04421]. 24 18 22 Let a cry [02201] be heard [08085] from their houses [01004], when thou shalt bring [0935] a troop [01416] suddenly [06597] upon them: for they have digged [03738] a pit [07745] [07882] to take [03920] me, and hid [02934] snares [06341] for my feet [07272]. 24 18 23 Yet, LORD [03068], thou knowest [03045] all their counsel [06098] against me to slay [04194] me: forgive [03722] not their iniquity [05771], neither blot out [04229] their sin [02403] from thy sight [06440], but let them be overthrown [03782] before [06440] thee; deal [06213] thus with them in the time [06256] of thine anger [0639]. 24 19 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Go [01980] and get [07069] a potter's [03335] earthen [02789] bottle [01228], and take of the ancients [02205] of the people [05971], and of the ancients [02205] of the priests [03548]; 24 19 2 And go forth [03318] unto the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], which is by the entry [06607] of the east [02777] gate [08179], and proclaim [07121] there the words [01697] that I shall tell [01696] thee, 24 19 3 And say [0559], Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon this place [04725], the which whosoever heareth [08085], his ears [0241] shall tingle [06750]. 24 19 4 Because they have forsaken [05800] me, and have estranged [05234] this place [04725], and have burned incense [06999] in it unto other [0312] gods [0430], whom neither they nor their fathers [01] have known [03045], nor the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and have filled [04390] this place [04725] with the blood [01818] of innocents [05355]; 24 19 5 They have built [01129] also the high places [01116] of Baal [01168], to burn [08313] their sons [01121] with fire [0784] for burnt offerings [05930] unto Baal [01168], which I commanded [06680] not, nor spake [01696] it, neither came [05927] it into my mind [03820]: 24 19 6 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that this place [04725] shall no more be called [07121] Tophet [08612], nor The valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], but The valley [01516] of slaughter [02028]. 24 19 7 And I will make void [01238] the counsel [06098] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] in this place [04725]; and I will cause them to fall [05307] by the sword [02719] before [06440] their enemies [0341], and by the hands [03027] of them that seek [01245] their lives [05315]: and their carcases [05038] will I give [05414] to be meat [03978] for the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and for the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]. 24 19 8 And I will make [07760] this city [05892] desolate [08047], and an hissing [08322]; every one that passeth [05674] thereby shall be astonished [08074] and hiss [08319] because of all the plagues [04347] thereof. 24 19 9 And I will cause them to eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of their sons [01121] and the flesh [01320] of their daughters [01323], and they shall eat [0398] every one [0376] the flesh [01320] of his friend [07453] in the siege [04692] and straitness [04689], wherewith their enemies [0341], and they that seek [01245] their lives [05315], shall straiten [06693] them. 24 19 10 Then shalt thou break [07665] the bottle [01228] in the sight [05869] of the men [0582] that go [01980] with thee, 24 19 11 And shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Even so [03602] will I break [07665] this people [05971] and this city [05892], as one breaketh [07665] a potter's [03335] vessel [03627], that cannot [03201] be made whole again [07495]: and they shall bury [06912] them in Tophet [08612], till there be no place [04725] to bury [06912]. 24 19 12 Thus will I do [06213] unto this place [04725], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and to the inhabitants [03427] thereof, and even make [05414] this city [05892] as Tophet [08612]: 24 19 13 And the houses [01004] of Jerusalem [03389], and the houses [01004] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], shall be defiled [02931] as the place [04725] of Tophet [08612], because of all the houses [01004] upon whose roofs [01406] they have burned incense [06999] unto all the host [06635] of heaven [08064], and have poured out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto other [0312] gods [0430]. 24 19 14 Then came [0935] Jeremiah [03414] from Tophet [08612], whither the LORD [03068] had sent [07971] him to prophesy [05012]; and he stood [05975] in the court [02691] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]; and said [0559] to all the people [05971], 24 19 15 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will bring [0935] upon this city [05892] and upon all her towns [05892] all the evil [07451] that I have pronounced [01696] against it, because they have hardened [07185] their necks [06203], that they might not hear [08085] my words [01697]. 24 20 1 Now Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Immer [0564] the priest [03548], who was also chief [06496] governor [05057] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], heard [08085] that Jeremiah [03414] prophesied [05012] these things [01697]. 24 20 2 Then Pashur [06583] smote [05221] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], and put [05414] him in the stocks [04115] that were in the high [05945] gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144], which was by the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 24 20 3 And it came to pass on the morrow [04283], that Pashur [06583] brought forth [03318] Jeremiah [03414] out of the stocks [04115]. Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto him, The LORD [03068] hath not called [07121] thy name [08034] Pashur [06583], but Magormissabib [04036]. 24 20 4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will make [05414] thee a terror [04032] to thyself, and to all thy friends [0157]: and they shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] of their enemies [0341], and thine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] it: and I will give [05414] all Judah [03063] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall carry them captive [01540] into Babylon [0894], and shall slay [05221] them with the sword [02719]. 24 20 5 Moreover I will deliver [05414] all the strength [02633] of this city [05892], and all the labours [03018] thereof, and all the precious things [03366] thereof, and all the treasures [0214] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063] will I give [05414] into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], which shall spoil [0962] them, and take [03947] them, and carry [0935] them to Babylon [0894]. 24 20 6 And thou, Pashur [06583], and all that dwell [03427] in thine house [01004] shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]: and thou shalt come [0935] to Babylon [0894], and there thou shalt die [04191], and shalt be buried [06912] there, thou, and all thy friends [0157], to whom thou hast prophesied [05012] lies [08267]. 24 20 7 O LORD [03068], thou hast deceived [06601] me, and I was deceived [06601]: thou art stronger [02388] than I, and hast prevailed [03201]: I am in derision [07814] daily [03117], every one mocketh [03932] me. 24 20 8 For since [01767] I spake [01696], I cried out [02199], I cried [07121] violence [02555] and spoil [07701]; because the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] was made a reproach [02781] unto me, and a derision [07047], daily [03117]. 24 20 9 Then I said [0559], I will not make mention [02142] of him, nor speak [01696] any more in his name [08034]. But his word was in mine heart [03820] as a burning [01197] fire [0784] shut up [06113] in my bones [06106], and I was weary [03811] with forbearing [03557], and I could [03201] not stay. 24 20 10 For I heard [08085] the defaming [01681] of many [07227], fear [04032] on every side [05439]. Report [05046], say they, and we will report [05046] it. All my familiars [0582] [07965] watched [08104] for my halting [06763] [06761], saying, Peradventure he will be enticed [06601], and we shall prevail [03201] against him, and we shall take [03947] our revenge [05360] on him. 24 20 11 But the LORD [03068] is with me as a mighty [01368] terrible one [06184]: therefore my persecutors [07291] shall stumble [03782], and they shall not prevail [03201]: they shall be greatly [03966] ashamed [0954]; for they shall not prosper [07919]: their everlasting [05769] confusion [03639] shall never be forgotten [07911]. 24 20 12 But, O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that triest [0974] the righteous [06662], and seest [07200] the reins [03629] and the heart [03820], let me see [07200] thy vengeance [05360] on them: for unto thee have I opened [01540] my cause [07379]. 24 20 13 Sing [07891] unto the LORD [03068], praise [01984] ye the LORD [03068]: for he hath delivered [05337] the soul [05315] of the poor [034] from the hand [03027] of evildoers [07489]. 24 20 14 Cursed [0779] be the day [03117] wherein I was born [03205]: let not the day [03117] wherein my mother [0517] bare [03205] me be blessed [01288]. 24 20 15 Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] who brought tidings [01319] to my father [01], saying [0559], A man [02145] child [01121] is born [03205] unto thee; making him very [08055] glad [08055]. 24 20 16 And let that man [0376] be as the cities [05892] which the LORD [03068] overthrew [02015], and repented [05162] not: and let him hear [08085] the cry [02201] in the morning [01242], and the shouting [08643] at noontide [06256] [06672]; 24 20 17 Because he slew [04191] me not from the womb [07358]; or that my mother [0517] might have been my grave [06913], and her womb [07358] to be always [05769] great [02030] with me. 24 20 18 Wherefore came I forth [03318] out of the womb [07358] to see [07200] labour [05999] and sorrow [03015], that my days [03117] should be consumed [03615] with shame [01322]? 24 21 1 The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], when king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] sent [07971] unto him Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Melchiah [04441], and Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the priest [03548], saying [0559], 24 21 2 Enquire [01875], I pray thee, of the LORD [03068] for us [01157]; for Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] maketh war [03898] against us; if so be that the LORD [03068] will deal [06213] with us according to all his wondrous works [06381], that he may go up [05927] from us. 24 21 3 Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] to Zedekiah [06667]: 24 21 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will turn back [05437] the weapons [03627] of war [04421] that are in your hands [03027], wherewith ye fight [03898] against the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and against the Chaldeans [03778], which besiege [06696] you without [02351] the walls [02346], and I will assemble [0622] them into the midst [08432] of this city [05892]. 24 21 5 And I myself will fight [03898] against you with an outstretched [05186] hand [03027] and with a strong [02389] arm [02220], even in anger [0639], and in fury [02534], and in great [01419] wrath [07110]. 24 21 6 And I will smite [05221] the inhabitants [03427] of this city [05892], both man [0120] and beast [0929]: they shall die [04191] of a great [01419] pestilence [01698]. 24 21 7 And afterward [0310], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will deliver [05414] Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and his servants [05650], and the people [05971], and such as are left [07604] in this city [05892] from the pestilence [01698], from the sword [02719], and from the famine [07458], into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of those that seek [01245] their life [05315]: and he shall smite [05221] them with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; he shall not spare [02347] them, neither have pity [02550], nor have mercy [07355]. 24 21 8 And unto this people [05971] thou shalt say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I set [05414] before [06440] you the way [01870] of life [02416], and the way [01870] of death [04194]. 24 21 9 He that abideth [03427] in this city [05892] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], and by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]: but he that goeth out [03318], and falleth [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778] that besiege [06696] you, he shall live [02421] [02421], and his life [05315] shall be unto him for a prey [07998]. 24 21 10 For I have set [07760] my face [06440] against this city [05892] for evil [07451], and not for good [02896], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: it shall be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall burn [08313] it with fire [0784]. 24 21 11 And touching the house [01004] of the king [04428] of Judah [03063], say, Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; 24 21 12 O house [01004] of David [01732], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Execute [01777] judgment [04941] in the morning [01242], and deliver [05337] him that is spoiled [01497] out of the hand [03027] of the oppressor [06231], lest my fury [02534] go out [03318] like fire [0784], and burn [01197] that none can quench [03518] it, because [06440] of the evil [07455] of your doings [04611]. 24 21 13 Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant [03427] of the valley [06010], and rock [06697] of the plain [04334], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; which say [0559], Who shall come down [05181] against us? or who shall enter [0935] into our habitations [04585]? 24 21 14 But I will punish [06485] you according to the fruit [06529] of your doings [04611], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: and I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the forest [03293] thereof, and it shall devour [0398] all things round about [05439] it. 24 22 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Go down [03381] to the house [01004] of the king [04428] of Judah [03063], and speak [01696] there this word [01697], 24 22 2 And say [0559], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O king [04428] of Judah [03063], that sittest [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], thou, and thy servants [05650], and thy people [05971] that enter [0935] in by these gates [08179]: 24 22 3 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Execute [06213] ye judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666], and deliver [05337] the spoiled [01497] out of the hand [03027] of the oppressor [06216]: and do no wrong [03238], do no violence [02554] to the stranger [01616], the fatherless [03490], nor the widow [0490], neither shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in this place [04725]. 24 22 4 For if ye do [06213] this thing [01697] indeed [06213], then shall there enter in [0935] by the gates [08179] of this house [01004] kings [04428] sitting [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], riding [07392] in chariots [07393] and on horses [05483], he, and his servants [05650], and his people [05971]. 24 22 5 But if ye will not hear [08085] these words [01697], I swear [07650] by myself, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that this house [01004] shall become a desolation [02723]. 24 22 6 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto the king's [04428] house [01004] of Judah [03063]; Thou art Gilead [01568] unto me, and the head [07218] of Lebanon [03844]: yet surely I will make [07896] thee a wilderness [04057], and cities [05892] which are not inhabited [03427] [03427]. 24 22 7 And I will prepare [06942] destroyers [07843] against thee, every one [0376] with his weapons [03627]: and they shall cut down [03772] thy choice [04005] cedars [0730], and cast [05307] them into the fire [0784]. 24 22 8 And many [07227] nations [01471] shall pass [05674] by this city [05892], and they shall say [0559] every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453], Wherefore hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this great [01419] city [05892]? 24 22 9 Then they shall answer [0559], Because they have forsaken [05800] the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and worshipped [07812] other [0312] gods [0430], and served [05647] them. 24 22 10 Weep [01058] ye not for the dead [04191], neither bemoan [05110] him: but weep [01058] sore [01058] for him that goeth away [01980]: for he shall return [07725] no more, nor see [07200] his native [04138] country [0776]. 24 22 11 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] touching [0413] Shallum [07967] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], which reigned [04427] instead of Josiah [02977] his father [01], which went forth [03318] out of this place [04725]; He shall not return [07725] thither any more: 24 22 12 But he shall die [04191] in the place [04725] whither they have led him captive [01540], and shall see [07200] this land [0776] no more. 24 22 13 Woe [01945] unto him that buildeth [01129] his house [01004] by [03808] unrighteousness [06664], and his chambers [05944] by wrong [04941]; that useth his neighbour's [07453] service [05647] without wages [02600], and giveth [05414] him not for his work [06467]; 24 22 14 That saith [0559], I will build [01129] me a wide [04060] house [01004] and large [07304] chambers [05944], and cutteth him out [07167] windows [02474]; and it is cieled [05603] with cedar [0730], and painted [04886] with vermilion [08350]. 24 22 15 Shalt thou reign [04427], because thou closest [08474] thyself in cedar [0730]? did not thy father [01] eat [0398] and drink [08354], and do [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666], and then it was well [02896] with him? 24 22 16 He judged [01777] the cause [01779] of the poor [06041] and needy [034]; then it was well [02896] with him: was not this to know [01847] me? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 22 17 But thine eyes [05869] and thine heart [03820] are not but for thy covetousness [01215], and for to shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818], and for oppression [06233], and for violence [04835], to do [06213] it. 24 22 18 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; They shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] my brother [0251]! or, Ah [01945] sister [0269]! they shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] lord [0113]! or, Ah [01945] his glory [01935]! 24 22 19 He shall be buried [06912] with the burial [06900] of an ass [02543], drawn [05498] and cast forth [07993] beyond [01973] the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389]. 24 22 20 Go up [05927] to Lebanon [03844], and cry [06817]; and lift up [05414] thy voice [06963] in Bashan [01316], and cry [06817] from the passages [05676]: for all thy lovers [0157] are destroyed [07665]. 24 22 21 I spake [01696] unto thee in thy prosperity [07962]; but thou saidst [0559], I will not hear [08085]. This hath been thy manner [01870] from thy youth [05271], that thou obeyedst [08085] not my voice [06963]. 24 22 22 The wind [07307] shall eat up [07462] all thy pastors [07462], and thy lovers [0157] shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]: surely then shalt thou be ashamed [0954] and confounded [03637] for all thy wickedness [07451]. 24 22 23 O inhabitant [03427] of Lebanon [03844], that makest thy nest [07077] in the cedars [0730], how gracious [02603] shalt thou be when pangs [02256] come [0935] upon thee, the pain [02427] as of a woman in travail [03205] ! 24 22 24 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], though Coniah [03659] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] were the signet [02368] upon my right [03225] hand [03027], yet would I pluck [05423] thee thence; 24 22 25 And I will give [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] thy life [05315], and into the hand [03027] of them whose face [06440] thou fearest [03016], even into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778]. 24 22 26 And I will cast thee out [02904], and thy mother [0517] that bare [03205] thee, into another [0312] country [0776], where ye were not born [03205]; and there shall ye die [04191]. 24 22 27 But to the land [0776] whereunto they desire [05375] [05315] to return [07725], thither shall they not return [07725]. 24 22 28 Is this man [0376] Coniah [03659] a despised [0959] broken [05310] idol [06089]? is he a vessel [03627] wherein is no pleasure [02656]? wherefore are they cast out [07993], he and his seed [02233], and are cast [02904] into a land [0776] which they know [03045] not? 24 22 29 O earth [0776], earth [0776], earth [0776], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 24 22 30 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Write [03789] ye this man [0376] childless [06185], a man [01397] that shall not prosper [06743] in his days [03117]: for no man [0376] of his seed [02233] shall prosper [06743], sitting [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and ruling [04910] any more in Judah [03063]. 24 23 1 Woe [01945] be unto the pastors [07462] that destroy [06] and scatter [06327] the sheep [06629] of my pasture [04830]! saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 2 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] against the pastors [07462] that feed [07462] my people [05971]; Ye have scattered [06327] my flock [06629], and driven them away [05080], and have not visited [06485] them: behold, I will visit [06485] upon you the evil [07455] of your doings [04611], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 3 And I will gather [06908] the remnant [07611] of my flock [06629] out of all countries [0776] whither I have driven [05080] them, and will bring them again [07725] to their folds [05116]; and they shall be fruitful [06509] and increase [07235]. 24 23 4 And I will set up [06965] shepherds [07462] over them which shall feed [07462] them: and they shall fear [03372] no more, nor be dismayed [02865], neither shall they be lacking [06485], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 5 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will raise [06965] unto David [01732] a righteous [06662] Branch [06780], and a King [04428] shall reign [04427] and prosper [07919], and shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666] in the earth [0776]. 24 23 6 In his days [03117] Judah [03063] shall be saved [03467], and Israel [03478] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is his name [08034] whereby he shall be called [07121], THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS [03072]. 24 23 7 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that they shall no more say [0559], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; 24 23 8 But, The LORD [03068] liveth [02416], which brought up [05927] and which led [0935] the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] out of the north [06828] country [0776], and from all countries [0776] whither I had driven [05080] them; and they shall dwell [03427] in their own land [0127]. 24 23 9 Mine heart [03820] within [07130] me is broken [07665] because of the prophets [05030]; all my bones [06106] shake [07363]; I am like a drunken [07910] man [0376], and like a man [01397] whom wine [03196] hath overcome [05674], because [06440] of the LORD [03068], and because of the words [01697] of his holiness [06944]. 24 23 10 For the land [0776] is full [04390] of adulterers [05003]; for because [06440] of swearing [0423] the land [0776] mourneth [056]; the pleasant places [04999] of the wilderness [04057] are dried up [03001], and their course [04794] is evil [07451], and their force [01369] is not right. 24 23 11 For both prophet [05030] and priest [03548] are profane [02610]; yea, in my house [01004] have I found [04672] their wickedness [07451], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 12 Wherefore their way [01870] shall be unto them as slippery [02519] ways in the darkness [0653]: they shall be driven on [01760], and fall [05307] therein: for I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon them, even the year [08141] of their visitation [06486], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 13 And I have seen [07200] folly [08604] in the prophets [05030] of Samaria [08111]; they prophesied [05012] in Baal [01168], and caused my people [05971] Israel [03478] to err [08582]. 24 23 14 I have seen [07200] also in the prophets [05030] of Jerusalem [03389] an horrible thing [08186]: they commit adultery [05003], and walk [01980] in lies [08267]: they strengthen [02388] also the hands [03027] of evildoers [07489], that none [0376] doth return [07725] from his wickedness [07451]: they are all of them unto me as Sodom [05467], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof as Gomorrah [06017]. 24 23 15 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] concerning the prophets [05030]; Behold, I will feed [0398] them with wormwood [03939], and make them drink [08248] the water [04325] of gall [07219]: for from the prophets [05030] of Jerusalem [03389] is profaneness [02613] gone forth [03318] into all the land [0776]. 24 23 16 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Hearken [08085] not unto the words [01697] of the prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] unto you: they make you vain [01891]: they speak [01696] a vision [02377] of their own heart [03820], and not out of the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068]. 24 23 17 They say [0559] still [0559] unto them that despise [05006] me, The LORD [03068] hath said [01696], Ye shall have peace [07965]; and they say [0559] unto every one that walketh [01980] after the imagination [08307] of his own heart [03820], No evil [07451] shall come [0935] upon you. 24 23 18 For who hath stood [05975] in the counsel [05475] of the LORD [03068], and hath perceived [07200] and heard [08085] his word [01697]? who hath marked [07181] his word [01697], and heard [08085] it? 24 23 19 Behold, a whirlwind [05591] of the LORD [03068] is gone forth [03318] in fury [02534], even a grievous [02342] whirlwind [05591]: it shall fall grievously [02342] upon the head [07218] of the wicked [07563]. 24 23 20 The anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] shall not return [07725], until he have executed [06213], and till he have performed [06965] the thoughts [04209] of his heart [03820]: in the latter [0319] days [03117] ye shall consider [0995] it perfectly [0998]. 24 23 21 I have not sent [07971] these prophets [05030], yet they ran [07323]: I have not spoken [01696] to them, yet they prophesied [05012]. 24 23 22 But if they had stood [05975] in my counsel [05475], and had caused my people [05971] to hear [08085] my words [01697], then they should have turned [07725] them from their evil [07451] way [01870], and from the evil [07455] of their doings [04611]. 24 23 23 Am I a God [0430] at hand [07138], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and not a God [0430] afar off [07350]? 24 23 24 Can any [0376] hide [05641] himself in secret places [04565] that I shall not see [07200] him? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Do not I fill [04392] heaven [08064] and earth [0776]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 25 I have heard [08085] what the prophets [05030] said [0559], that prophesy [05012] lies [08267] in my name [08034], saying [0559], I have dreamed [02492], I have dreamed [02492]. 24 23 26 How long shall this be [03426] in the heart [03820] of the prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] lies [08267]? yea, they are prophets [05030] of the deceit [08649] of their own heart [03820]; 24 23 27 Which think [02803] to cause my people [05971] to forget [07911] my name [08034] by their dreams [02472] which they tell [05608] every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453], as their fathers [01] have forgotten [07911] my name [08034] for Baal [01168]. 24 23 28 The prophet [05030] that hath a dream [02472], let him tell [05608] a dream [02472]; and he that hath my word [01697], let him speak [01696] my word [01697] faithfully [0571]. What is the chaff [08401] to the wheat [01250]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 29 Is not my word [01697] like [03541] as a fire [0784]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and like a hammer [06360] that breaketh [06327] the rock [05553] in pieces [06327]? 24 23 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets [05030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that steal [01589] my words [01697] every one [0376] from his neighbour [07453]. 24 23 31 Behold, I am against the prophets [05030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that use [03947] their tongues [03956], and say [05001], He saith [05002]. 24 23 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy [05012] false [08267] dreams [02472], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and do tell [05608] them, and cause my people [05971] to err [08582] by their lies [08267], and by their lightness [06350]; yet I sent [07971] them not, nor commanded [06680] them: therefore they shall not profit [03276] this people [05971] at all [03276], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 33 And when this people [05971], or the prophet [05030], or a priest [03548], shall ask [07592] thee, saying [0559], What is the burden [04853] of the LORD [03068]? thou shalt then say [0559] unto them, What burden [04853]? I will even forsake [05203] you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 23 34 And as for the prophet [05030], and the priest [03548], and the people [05971], that shall say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068], I will even punish [06485] that man [0376] and his house [01004]. 24 23 35 Thus shall ye say [0559] every one [0376] to his neighbour [07453], and every one [0376] to his brother [0251], What hath the LORD [03068] answered [06030]? and, What hath the LORD [03068] spoken [01696]? 24 23 36 And the burden [04853] of the LORD [03068] shall ye mention [02142] no more: for every man's [0376] word [01697] shall be his burden [04853]; for ye have perverted [02015] the words [01697] of the living [02416] God [0430], of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] our God [0430]. 24 23 37 Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the prophet [05030], What hath the LORD [03068] answered [06030] thee? and, What hath the LORD [03068] spoken [01696]? 24 23 38 But [0518] since ye say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068]; therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Because ye say [0559] this word [01697], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068], and I have sent [07971] unto you, saying [0559], Ye shall not say [0559], The burden [04853] of the LORD [03068]; 24 23 39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly [05377] forget [05382] you, and I will forsake [05203] you, and the city [05892] that I gave [05414] you and your fathers [01], and cast you out of my presence [06440]: 24 23 40 And I will bring [05414] an everlasting [05769] reproach [02781] upon you, and a perpetual [05769] shame [03640], which shall not be forgotten [07911]. 24 24 1 The LORD [03068] shewed [07200] me, and, behold, two [08147] baskets [01736] of figs [08384] were set [03259] before [06440] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], after [0310] that Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had carried away captive [01540] Jeconiah [03204] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and the princes [08269] of Judah [03063], with the carpenters [02796] and smiths [04525], from Jerusalem [03389], and had brought [0935] them to Babylon [0894]. 24 24 2 One [0259] basket [01731] had very [03966] good [02896] figs [08384], even like the figs [08384] that are first ripe [01073]: and the other [0259] basket [01731] had very [03966] naughty [07451] figs [08384], which could not be eaten [0398], they were so bad [07455]. 24 24 3 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, What seest [07200] thou, Jeremiah [03414]? And I said [0559], Figs [08384]; the good [02896] figs [08384], very [03966] good [02896]; and the evil [07451], very [03966] evil [07451], that cannot be eaten [0398], they are so evil [07455]. 24 24 4 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 24 24 5 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Like these good [02896] figs [08384], so will I acknowledge [05234] them that are carried away captive [01546] of Judah [03063], whom I have sent [07971] out of this place [04725] into the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778] for their good [02896]. 24 24 6 For I will set [07760] mine eyes [05869] upon them for good [02896], and I will bring them again [07725] to this land [0776]: and I will build [01129] them, and not pull them down [02040]; and I will plant [05193] them, and not pluck them up [05428]. 24 24 7 And I will give [05414] them an heart [03820] to know [03045] me, that I am the LORD [03068]: and they shall be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430]: for they shall return [07725] unto me with their whole heart [03820]. 24 24 8 And as the evil [07451] figs [08384], which cannot be eaten [0398], they are so evil [07455]; surely thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], So will I give [05414] Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] of Judah [03063], and his princes [08269], and the residue [07611] of Jerusalem [03389], that remain [07604] in this land [0776], and them that dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: 24 24 9 And I will deliver [05414] them to be removed [02189] [02113] into all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] for their hurt [07451], to be a reproach [02781] and a proverb [04912], a taunt [08148] and a curse [07045], in all places [04725] whither I shall drive [05080] them. 24 24 10 And I will send [07971] the sword [02719], the famine [07458], and the pestilence [01698], among them, till they be consumed [08552] from off the land [0127] that I gave [05414] unto them and to their fathers [01]. 24 25 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning all the people [05971] of Judah [03063] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], that was the first [07224] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]; 24 25 2 The which Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] unto all the people [05971] of Judah [03063], and to all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], 24 25 3 From the thirteenth [07969] [06240] year [08141] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Amon [0526] king [04428] of Judah [03063], even unto this day [03117], that is the three [07969] and twentieth [06242] year [08141], the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] hath come unto me, and I have spoken [01696] unto you, rising early [07925] and speaking [01696]; but ye have not hearkened [08085]. 24 25 4 And the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] unto you all his servants [05650] the prophets [05030], rising early [07925] and sending [07971] them; but ye have not hearkened [08085], nor inclined [05186] your ear [0241] to hear [08085]. 24 25 5 They said [0559], Turn ye again [07725] now every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and from the evil [07455] of your doings [04611], and dwell [03427] in the land [0127] that the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] unto you and to your fathers [01] for [05704] ever [05769] and ever [05769]: 24 25 6 And go [03212] not after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them, and to worship [07812] them, and provoke me not to anger [03707] with the works [04639] of your hands [03027]; and I will do you no hurt [07489]. 24 25 7 Yet ye have not hearkened [08085] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; that ye might provoke me to anger [03707] with the works [04639] of your hands [03027] to your own hurt [07451]. 24 25 8 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Because ye have not heard [08085] my words [01697], 24 25 9 Behold, I will send [07971] and take [03947] all the families [04940] of the north [06828], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650], and will bring [0935] them against this land [0776], and against the inhabitants [03427] thereof, and against all these nations [01471] round about [05439], and will utterly destroy [02763] them, and make [07760] them an astonishment [08047], and an hissing [08322], and perpetual [05769] desolations [02723]. 24 25 10 Moreover I will take [06] from them the voice [06963] of mirth [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618], the sound [06963] of the millstones [07347], and the light [0216] of the candle [05216]. 24 25 11 And this whole land [0776] shall be a desolation [02723], and an astonishment [08047]; and these nations [01471] shall serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] seventy [07657] years [08141]. 24 25 12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy [07657] years [08141] are accomplished [04390], that I will punish [06485] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and that nation [01471], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], for their iniquity [05771], and the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778], and will make [07760] it perpetual [05769] desolations [08077]. 24 25 13 And I will bring [0935] upon that land [0776] all my words [01697] which I have pronounced [01696] against it, even all that is written [03789] in this book [05612], which Jeremiah [03414] hath prophesied [05012] against all the nations [01471]. 24 25 14 For many [07227] nations [01471] and great [01419] kings [04428] shall serve [05647] themselves of them also: and I will recompense [07999] them according to their deeds [06467], and according to the works [04639] of their own hands [03027]. 24 25 15 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] unto me; Take [03947] the wine [03196] cup [03563] of this fury [02534] at my hand [03027], and cause all the nations [01471], to whom I send [07971] thee, to drink [08248] it. 24 25 16 And they shall drink [08354], and be moved [01607], and be mad [01984], because [06440] of the sword [02719] that I will send [07971] among them. 24 25 17 Then took [03947] I the cup [03563] at the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027], and made all the nations [01471] to drink [08248], unto whom the LORD [03068] had sent [07971] me: 24 25 18 To wit, Jerusalem [03389], and the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and the kings [04428] thereof, and the princes [08269] thereof, to make [05414] them a desolation [02723], an astonishment [08047], an hissing [08322], and a curse [07045]; as it is this day [03117]; 24 25 19 Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and his servants [05650], and his princes [08269], and all his people [05971]; 24 25 20 And all the mingled [06153] people, and all the kings [04428] of the land [0776] of Uz [05780], and all the kings [04428] of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and Ashkelon [0831], and Azzah [05804], and Ekron [06138], and the remnant [07611] of Ashdod [0795], 24 25 21 Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], 24 25 22 And all the kings [04428] of Tyrus [06865], and all the kings [04428] of Zidon [06721], and the kings [04428] of the isles [0339] which are beyond [05676] the sea [03220], 24 25 23 Dedan [01719], and Tema [08485], and Buz [0938], and all that are in the utmost [07112] corners [06285], 24 25 24 And all the kings [04428] of Arabia [06152], and all the kings [04428] of the mingled people [06153] that dwell [07931] in the desert [04057], 24 25 25 And all the kings [04428] of Zimri [02174], and all the kings [04428] of Elam [05867], and all the kings [04428] of the Medes [04074], 24 25 26 And all the kings [04428] of the north [06828], far [07350] and near [07138], one [0376] with another [0251], and all the kingdoms [04467] of the world [0776], which are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127]: and the king [04428] of Sheshach [08347] shall drink [08354] after [0310] them. 24 25 27 Therefore thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Drink [08354] ye, and be drunken [07937], and spue [07006], and fall [05307], and rise [06965] no more, because [06440] of the sword [02719] which I will send [07971] among you. 24 25 28 And it shall be, if they refuse [03985] to take [03947] the cup [03563] at thine hand [03027] to drink [08354], then shalt thou say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Ye shall certainly [08354] drink [08354]. 24 25 29 For, lo, I begin [02490] to bring evil [07489] on the city [05892] which is called [07121] by my name [08034], and should ye be utterly [05352] unpunished [05352]? Ye shall not be unpunished [05352]: for I will call [07121] for a sword [02719] upon all the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 24 25 30 Therefore prophesy [05012] thou against them all these words [01697], and say [0559] unto them, The LORD [03068] shall roar [07580] from on high [04791], and utter [05414] his voice [06963] from his holy [06944] habitation [04583]; he shall mightily [07580] roar [07580] upon his habitation [05116]; he shall give [06030] a shout [01959], as they that tread [01869] the grapes, against all the inhabitants [03427] of the earth [0776]. 24 25 31 A noise [07588] shall come [0935] even to the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]; for the LORD [03068] hath a controversy [07379] with the nations [01471], he will plead [08199] with all flesh [01320]; he will give [05414] them that are wicked [07563] to the sword [02719], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 25 32 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Behold, evil [07451] shall go forth [03318] from nation [01471] to nation [01471], and a great [01419] whirlwind [05591] shall be raised up [05782] from the coasts [03411] of the earth [0776]. 24 25 33 And the slain [02491] of the LORD [03068] shall be at that day [03117] from one end [07097] of the earth [0776] even unto the other end [07097] of the earth [0776]: they shall not be lamented [05594], neither gathered [0622], nor buried [06912]; they shall be dung [01828] upon [06440] the ground [0127]. 24 25 34 Howl [03213], ye shepherds [07462], and cry [02199]; and wallow [06428] yourselves in the ashes, ye principal [0117] of the flock [06629]: for the days [03117] of your slaughter [02873] and of your dispersions [08600] are accomplished [04390]; and ye shall fall [05307] like a pleasant [02532] vessel [03627]. 24 25 35 And the shepherds [07462] shall have no way [04498] to flee [06], nor the principal [0117] of the flock [06629] to escape [06413]. 24 25 36 A voice [06963] of the cry [06818] of the shepherds [07462], and an howling [03215] of the principal [0117] of the flock [06629], shall be heard: for the LORD [03068] hath spoiled [07703] their pasture [04830]. 24 25 37 And the peaceable [07965] habitations [04999] are cut down [01826] because [06440] of the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068]. 24 25 38 He hath forsaken [05800] his covert [05520], as the lion [03715]: for their land [0776] is desolate [08047] because [06440] of the fierceness [02740] of the oppressor [03238], and because [06440] of his fierce [02740] anger [0639]. 24 26 1 In the beginning [07225] of the reign [04468] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came this word [01697] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 26 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Stand [05975] in the court [02691] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], and speak [01696] unto all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], which come [0935] to worship [07812] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], all the words [01697] that I command [06680] thee to speak [01696] unto them; diminish [01639] not a word [01697]: 24 26 3 If so be they will hearken [08085], and turn [07725] every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], that I may repent [05162] me of the evil [07451], which I purpose [02803] to do [06213] unto them because [06440] of the evil [07455] of their doings [04611]. 24 26 4 And thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If ye will not hearken [08085] to me, to walk [03212] in my law [08451], which I have set [05414] before [06440] you, 24 26 5 To hearken [08085] to the words [01697] of my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], whom I sent [07971] unto you, both rising up early [07925], and sending [07971] them, but ye have not hearkened [08085]; 24 26 6 Then will I make [05414] this house [01004] like Shiloh [07887], and will make [05414] this city [05892] a curse [07045] to all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776]. 24 26 7 So the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] heard [08085] Jeremiah [03414] speaking [01696] these words [01697] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 24 26 8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] all that the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] him to speak [01696] unto all the people [05971], that the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] and all the people [05971] took [08610] him, saying [0559], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. 24 26 9 Why hast thou prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], This house [01004] shall be like Shiloh [07887], and this city [05892] shall be desolate [02717] without an inhabitant [03427]? And all the people [05971] were gathered [06950] against Jeremiah [03414] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 24 26 10 When the princes [08269] of Judah [03063] heard [08085] these things [01697], then they came up [05927] from the king's [04428] house [01004] unto the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and sat down [03427] in the entry [06607] of the new [02319] gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house. 24 26 11 Then spake [0559] the priests [03548] and the prophets [05030] unto the princes [08269] and to all the people [05971], saying [0559], This man [0376] is worthy [04941] to die [04194]; for he hath prophesied [05012] against this city [05892], as ye have heard [08085] with your ears [0241]. 24 26 12 Then spake [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto all the princes [08269] and to all the people [05971], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] sent [07971] me to prophesy [05012] against this house [01004] and against this city [05892] all the words [01697] that ye have heard [08085]. 24 26 13 Therefore now amend [03190] your ways [01870] and your doings [04611], and obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; and the LORD [03068] will repent [05162] him of the evil [07451] that he hath pronounced [01696] against you. 24 26 14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand [03027]: do [06213] with me as seemeth [05869] good [02896] and meet [03477] unto you. 24 26 15 But know [03045] ye for certain [03045], that if ye put me to death [04191], ye shall surely bring [05414] innocent [05355] blood [01818] upon yourselves, and upon this city [05892], and upon the inhabitants [03427] thereof: for of a truth [0571] the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me unto you to speak [01696] all these words [01697] in your ears [0241]. 24 26 16 Then said [0559] the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] unto the priests [03548] and to the prophets [05030]; This man [0376] is not worthy [04941] to die [04194]: for he hath spoken [01696] to us in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 26 17 Then rose up [06965] certain [0582] of the elders [02205] of the land [0776], and spake [0559] to all the assembly [06951] of the people [05971], saying [0559], 24 26 18 Micah [04320] the Morasthite [04183] prophesied [05012] in the days [03117] of Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and spake [0559] to all the people [05971] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Zion [06726] shall be plowed [02790] like a field [07704], and Jerusalem [03389] shall become heaps [05856], and the mountain [02022] of the house [01004] as the high places [01116] of a forest [03293]. 24 26 19 Did Hezekiah [02396] king [04428] of Judah [03063] and all Judah [03063] put him at all [04191] to death [04191]? did he not fear [03373] the LORD [03068], and besought [02470] the LORD [03068] [06440], and the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451] which he had pronounced [01696] against them? Thus [0587] might we procure [06213] great [01419] evil [07451] against our souls [05315]. 24 26 20 And there was also a man [0376] that prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], Urijah [0223] the son [01121] of Shemaiah [08098] of Kirjathjearim [07157], who prophesied [05012] against this city [05892] and against this land [0776] according to all the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414]: 24 26 21 And when Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428], with all his mighty men [01368], and all the princes [08269], heard [08085] his words [01697], the king [04428] sought [01245] to put him to death [04191]: but when Urijah [0223] heard [08085] it, he was afraid [03372], and fled [01272], and went [0935] into Egypt [04714]; 24 26 22 And Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428] sent [07971] men [0582] into Egypt [04714], namely, Elnathan [0494] the son [01121] of Achbor [05907], and certain men [0582] with him into Egypt [04714]. 24 26 23 And they fetched forth [03318] Urijah [0223] out of Egypt [04714], and brought [0935] him unto Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428]; who slew [05221] him with the sword [02719], and cast [07993] his dead body [05038] into the graves [06913] of the common [01121] people [05971]. 24 26 24 Nevertheless the hand [03027] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] was with Jeremiah [03414], that they should not give [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the people [05971] to put him to death [04191]. 24 27 1 In the beginning [07225] of the reign [04467] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came this word [01697] unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 27 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] to me; Make [06213] thee bonds [04147] and yokes [04133], and put [05414] them upon thy neck [06677], 24 27 3 And send [07971] them to the king [04428] of Edom [0123], and to the king [04428] of Moab [04124], and to the king [04428] of the Ammonites [01121] [05983], and to the king [04428] of Tyrus [06865], and to the king [04428] of Zidon [06721], by the hand [03027] of the messengers [04397] which come [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] unto Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; 24 27 4 And command [06680] them to say [0559] unto their masters [0113], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Thus shall ye say [0559] unto your masters [0113]; 24 27 5 I have made [06213] the earth [0776], the man [0120] and the beast [0929] that are upon [06440] the ground [0776], by my great [01419] power [03581] and by my outstretched [05186] arm [02220], and have given [05414] it unto whom it seemed [05869] meet [03474] unto me. 24 27 6 And now have I given [05414] all these lands [0776] into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650]; and the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] have I given [05414] him also to serve [05647] him. 24 27 7 And all nations [01471] shall serve [05647] him, and his son [01121], and his son's [01121] son [01121], until the very time [06256] of his land [0776] come [0935]: and then many [07227] nations [01471] and great [01419] kings [04428] shall serve [05647] themselves of him. 24 27 8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation [01471] and kingdom [04467] which will not serve [05647] the same Nebuchadnezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and that will not put [05414] their neck [06677] under the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], that nation [01471] will I punish [06485], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], with the sword [02719], and with the famine [07458], and with the pestilence [01698], until I have consumed [08552] them by his hand [03027]. 24 27 9 Therefore hearken [08085] not ye to your prophets [05030], nor to your diviners [07080], nor to your dreamers [02472], nor to your enchanters [06049], nor to your sorcerers [03786], which speak [0559] unto you, saying [0559], Ye shall not serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]: 24 27 10 For they prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] unto you, to remove you far [07368] from your land [0127]; and that I should drive you out [05080], and ye should perish [06]. 24 27 11 But the nations [01471] that bring [0935] their neck [06677] under the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and serve [05647] him, those will I let remain still [03240] in their own land [0127], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and they shall till [05647] it, and dwell [03427] therein. 24 27 12 I spake [01696] also to Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] according to all these words [01697], saying [0559], Bring [0935] your necks [06677] under the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and serve [05647] him and his people [05971], and live [02421]. 24 27 13 Why will ye die [04191], thou and thy people [05971], by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698], as the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] against the nation [01471] that will not serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]? 24 27 14 Therefore hearken [08085] not unto the words [01697] of the prophets [05030] that speak [0559] unto you, saying [0559], Ye shall not serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]: for they prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] unto you. 24 27 15 For I have not sent [07971] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], yet they prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] in my name [08034]; that I might drive you out [05080], and that ye might perish [06], ye, and the prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] unto you. 24 27 16 Also I spake [01696] to the priests [03548] and to all this people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Hearken [08085] not to the words [01697] of your prophets [05030] that prophesy [05012] unto you, saying [0559], Behold, the vessels [03627] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall now shortly [04120] be brought again [07725] from Babylon [0894]: for they prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] unto you. 24 27 17 Hearken [08085] not unto them; serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and live [02421]: wherefore should this city [05892] be laid waste [02723]? 24 27 18 But if they be prophets [05030], and if the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] be [03426] with them, let them now make intercession [06293] to the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that the vessels [03627] which are left [03498] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the house [01004] of the king [04428] of Judah [03063], and at Jerusalem [03389], go [0935] not to Babylon [0894]. 24 27 19 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] concerning the pillars [05982], and concerning the sea [03220], and concerning the bases [04350], and concerning the residue [03499] of the vessels [03627] that remain [03498] in this city [05892], 24 27 20 Which Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] took [03947] not, when he carried away captive [01540] Jeconiah [03204] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] from Jerusalem [03389] to Babylon [0894], and all the nobles [02715] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389]; 24 27 21 Yea, thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning the vessels [03627] that remain [03498] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and in the house [01004] of the king [04428] of Judah [03063] and of Jerusalem [03389]; 24 27 22 They shall be carried [0935] to Babylon [0894], and there shall they be until the day [03117] that I visit [06485] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; then will I bring [05927] them up, and restore [07725] them to this place [04725]. 24 28 1 And it came to pass the same year [08141], in the beginning [07225] of the reign [04467] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the fourth [07243] year [08141], and in the fifth [02549] month [02320], that Hananiah [02608] the son [01121] of Azur [05809] the prophet [05030], which was of Gibeon [01391], spake [0559] unto me in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], in the presence [05869] of the priests [03548] and of all the people [05971], saying [0559], 24 28 2 Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], I have broken [07665] the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 24 28 3 Within two full [03117] years [08141] will I bring again [07725] into this place [04725] all the vessels [03627] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], that Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] took away [03947] from this place [04725], and carried [0935] them to Babylon [0894]: 24 28 4 And I will bring again [07725] to this place [04725] Jeconiah [03204] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063], with all the captives [01546] of Judah [03063], that went [0935] into Babylon [0894], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: for I will break [07665] the yoke [05923] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 24 28 5 Then the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto the prophet [05030] Hananiah [02608] in the presence [05869] of the priests [03548], and in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971] that stood [05975] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], 24 28 6 Even the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], Amen [0543]: the LORD [03068] do [06213] so: the LORD [03068] perform [06965] thy words [01697] which thou hast prophesied [05012], to bring again [07725] the vessels [03627] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], and all that is carried away captive [01473], from Babylon [0894] into this place [04725]. 24 28 7 Nevertheless hear [08085] thou now this word [01697] that I speak [01696] in thine ears [0241], and in the ears [0241] of all the people [05971]; 24 28 8 The prophets [05030] that have been before [06440] me and before [06440] thee of old [05769] prophesied [05012] both against many [07227] countries [0776], and against great [01419] kingdoms [04467], of war [04421], and of evil [07451], and of pestilence [01698]. 24 28 9 The prophet [05030] which prophesieth [05012] of peace [07965], when the word [01697] of the prophet [05030] shall come to pass [0935], then [0227] shall the prophet [05030] be known [03045], that the LORD [03068] hath truly [0571] sent [07971] him. 24 28 10 Then Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] took [03947] the yoke [04133] from off the prophet [05030] Jeremiah's [03414] neck [06677], and brake [07665] it. 24 28 11 And Hananiah [02608] spake [0559] in the presence [05869] of all the people [05971], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Even so will I break [07665] the yoke [05923] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] from the neck [06677] of all nations [01471] within the space of two full [03117] years [08141]. And the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] went [03212] his way [01870]. 24 28 12 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet, after [0310] that Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] had broken [07665] the yoke [04133] from off the neck [06677] of the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 28 13 Go [01980] and tell [0559] Hananiah [02608], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thou hast broken [07665] the yokes [04133] of wood [06086]; but thou shalt make [06213] for them yokes [04133] of iron [01270]. 24 28 14 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; I have put [05414] a yoke [05923] of iron [01270] upon the neck [06677] of all these nations [01471], that they may serve [05647] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]; and they shall serve [05647] him: and I have given [05414] him the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] also. 24 28 15 Then said [0559] the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414] unto Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030], Hear [08085] now, Hananiah [02608]; The LORD [03068] hath not sent [07971] thee; but thou makest this people [05971] to trust [0982] in a lie [08267]. 24 28 16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will cast [07971] thee from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]: this year [08141] thou shalt die [04191], because thou hast taught [01696] rebellion [05627] against the LORD [03068]. 24 28 17 So Hananiah [02608] the prophet [05030] died [04191] the same year [08141] in the seventh [07637] month [02320]. 24 29 1 Now these are the words [01697] of the letter [05612] that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] sent [07971] from Jerusalem [03389] unto the residue [03499] of the elders [02205] which were carried away captives [01473], and to the priests [03548], and to the prophets [05030], and to all the people [05971] whom Nebuchadnezzar [05019] had carried away captive [01540] from Jerusalem [03389] to Babylon [0894]; 24 29 2 (After [0310] that Jeconiah [03204] the king [04428], and the queen [01377], and the eunuchs [05631], the princes [08269] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], and the carpenters [02796], and the smiths [04525], were departed [03318] from Jerusalem [03389];) 24 29 3 By the hand [03027] of Elasah [0501] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Gemariah [01587] the son [01121] of Hilkiah [02518], (whom Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] sent [07971] unto Babylon [0894] to Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]) saying [0559], 24 29 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], unto all that are carried away captives [01473], whom I have caused to be carried away [01540] from Jerusalem [03389] unto Babylon [0894]; 24 29 5 Build [01129] ye houses [01004], and dwell [03427] in them; and plant [05193] gardens [01593], and eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of them; 24 29 6 Take [03947] ye wives [0802], and beget [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]; and take [03947] wives [0802] for your sons [01121], and give [05414] your daughters [01323] to husbands [0582], that they may bear [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01121]; that ye may be increased [07235] there, and not diminished [04591]. 24 29 7 And seek [01875] the peace [07965] of the city [05892] whither I have caused you to be carried away captives [01540], and pray [06419] unto the LORD [03068] for it: for in the peace [07965] thereof shall ye have peace [07965]. 24 29 8 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Let not your prophets [05030] and your diviners [07080], that be in the midst [07130] of you, deceive [05377] you, neither hearken [08085] to your dreams [02472] which ye cause to be dreamed [02492]. 24 29 9 For they prophesy [05012] falsely [08267] unto you in my name [08034]: I have not sent [07971] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 29 10 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], That after [06310] seventy [07657] years [08141] be accomplished [04390] at Babylon [0894] I will visit [06485] you, and perform [06965] my good [02896] word [01697] toward you, in causing you to return [07725] to this place [04725]. 24 29 11 For I know [03045] the thoughts [04284] that I think [02803] toward you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], thoughts [04284] of peace [07965], and not of evil [07451], to give [05414] you an expected [08615] end [0319]. 24 29 12 Then shall ye call [07121] upon me, and ye shall go [01980] and pray [06419] unto me, and I will hearken [08085] unto you. 24 29 13 And ye shall seek [01245] me, and find [04672] me, when ye shall search [01875] for me with all your heart [03824]. 24 29 14 And I will be found [04672] of you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: and I will turn away [07725] your captivity [07622] [07622], and I will gather [06908] you from all the nations [01471], and from all the places [04725] whither I have driven [05080] you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will bring you again [07725] into the place [04725] whence I caused you to be carried away captive [01540]. 24 29 15 Because ye have said [0559], The LORD [03068] hath raised us up [06965] prophets [05030] in Babylon [0894]; 24 29 16 Know that thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of the king [04428] that sitteth [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and of all the people [05971] that dwelleth [03427] in this city [05892], and of your brethren [0251] that are not gone forth [03318] with you into captivity [01473]; 24 29 17 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Behold, I will send [07971] upon them the sword [02719], the famine [07458], and the pestilence [01698], and will make [05414] them like vile [08182] figs [08384], that cannot be eaten [0398], they are so evil [07455]. 24 29 18 And I will persecute [07291] them [0310] with the sword [02719], with the famine [07458], and with the pestilence [01698], and will deliver [05414] them to be removed [02189] [02113] to all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776], to be a curse [0423], and an astonishment [08047], and an hissing [08322], and a reproach [02781], among all the nations [01471] whither I have driven [05080] them: 24 29 19 Because they have not hearkened [08085] to my words [01697], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which I sent [07971] unto them by my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], rising up early [07925] and sending [07971] them; but ye would not hear [08085], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 29 20 Hear [08085] ye therefore the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], all ye of the captivity [01473], whom I have sent [07971] from Jerusalem [03389] to Babylon [0894]: 24 29 21 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], of Ahab [0256] the son [01121] of Kolaiah [06964], and of Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641], which prophesy [05012] a lie [08267] unto you in my name [08034]; Behold, I will deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]; and he shall slay [05221] them before your eyes [05869]; 24 29 22 And of them shall be taken up [03947] a curse [07045] by all the captivity [01546] of Judah [03063] which are in Babylon [0894], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] make [07760] thee like Zedekiah [06667] and like Ahab [0256], whom the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] roasted [07033] in the fire [0784]; 24 29 23 Because they have committed [06213] villany [05039] in Israel [03478], and have committed [06213] adultery [05003] with their neighbours [07453]' wives [0802], and have spoken [01696] lying [08267] words [01697] in my name [08034], which I have not commanded [06680] them; even I know [03045], and am a witness [05707], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 29 24 Thus shalt thou also speak [0559] to Shemaiah [08098] the Nehelamite [05161], saying [0559], 24 29 25 Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Because thou hast sent [07971] letters [05612] in thy name [08034] unto all the people [05971] that are at Jerusalem [03389], and to Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the priest [03548], and to all the priests [03548], saying [0559], 24 29 26 The LORD [03068] hath made [05414] thee priest [03548] in the stead of Jehoiada [03077] the priest [03548], that ye should be officers [06496] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], for every man [0376] that is mad [07696], and maketh himself a prophet [05012], that thou shouldest put [05414] him in prison [04115], and in the stocks [06729]. 24 29 27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved [01605] Jeremiah [03414] of Anathoth [06069], which maketh himself a prophet [05012] to you? 24 29 28 For therefore he sent [07971] unto us in Babylon [0894], saying [0559], This [01931] captivity is long [0752]: build [01129] ye houses [01004], and dwell [03427] in them; and plant [05193] gardens [01593], and eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of them. 24 29 29 And Zephaniah [06846] the priest [03548] read [07121] this letter [05612] in the ears [0241] of Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030]. 24 29 30 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 29 31 Send [07971] to all them of the captivity [01473], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning Shemaiah [08098] the Nehelamite [05161]; Because that Shemaiah [08098] hath prophesied [05012] unto you, and I sent [07971] him not, and he caused you to trust [0982] in a lie [08267]: 24 29 32 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will punish [06485] Shemaiah [08098] the Nehelamite [05161], and his seed [02233]: he shall not have a man [0376] to dwell [03427] among [08432] this people [05971]; neither shall he behold [07200] the good [02896] that I will do [06213] for my people [05971], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; because he hath taught [01696] rebellion [05627] against the LORD [03068]. 24 30 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 30 2 Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Write [03789] thee all the words [01697] that I have spoken [01696] unto thee in a book [05612]. 24 30 3 For, lo, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of my people [05971] Israel [03478] and Judah [03063], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]: and I will cause them to return [07725] to the land [0776] that I gave [05414] to their fathers [01], and they shall possess [03423] it. 24 30 4 And these are the words [01697] that the LORD [03068] spake [01696] concerning Israel [03478] and concerning Judah [03063]. 24 30 5 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; We have heard [08085] a voice [06963] of trembling [02731], of fear [06343], and not of peace [07965]. 24 30 6 Ask [07592] ye now, and see [07200] whether a man [02145] doth travail with child [03205]? wherefore do I see [07200] every man [01397] with his hands [03027] on his loins [02504], as a woman in travail [03205], and all faces [06440] are turned [02015] into paleness [03420]? 24 30 7 Alas [01945]! for that day [03117] is great [01419], so that [0369] none is like it: it is even the time [06256] of Jacob's [03290] trouble [06869]; but he shall be saved [03467] out of it. 24 30 8 For it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that I will break [07665] his yoke [05923] from off thy neck [06677], and will burst [05423] thy bonds [04147], and strangers [02114] shall no more serve [05647] themselves of him: 24 30 9 But they shall serve [05647] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428], whom I will raise up [06965] unto them. 24 30 10 Therefore fear [03372] thou not, O my servant [05650] Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; neither be dismayed [02865], O Israel [03478]: for, lo, I will save [03467] thee from afar [07350], and thy seed [02233] from the land [0776] of their captivity [07628]; and Jacob [03290] shall return [07725], and shall be in rest [08252], and be quiet [07599], and none shall make him afraid [02729]. 24 30 11 For I am with thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to save [03467] thee: though I make [06213] a full end [03617] of all nations [01471] whither I have scattered [06327] thee, yet will I not make [06213] a full end [03617] of thee: but I will correct [03256] thee in measure [04941], and will not leave thee altogether [05352] unpunished [05352]. 24 30 12 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Thy bruise [07667] is incurable [0605], and thy wound [04347] is grievous [02470]. 24 30 13 There is none to plead [01777] thy cause [01779], that thou mayest be bound up [04205]: thou hast no healing [08585] medicines [07499]. 24 30 14 All thy lovers [0157] have forgotten [07911] thee; they seek [01875] thee not; for I have wounded [05221] thee with the wound [04347] of an enemy [0341], with the chastisement [04148] of a cruel one [0394], for the multitude [07230] of thine iniquity [05771]; because thy sins [02403] were increased [06105]. 24 30 15 Why criest [02199] thou for thine affliction [07667]? thy sorrow [04341] is incurable [0605] for the multitude [07230] of thine iniquity [05771]: because thy sins [02403] were increased [06105], I have done [06213] these things unto thee. 24 30 16 Therefore all they that devour [0398] thee shall be devoured [0398]; and all thine adversaries [06862], every one of them, shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]; and they that spoil [07601] [08154] thee shall be a spoil [04933], and all that prey [0962] upon thee will I give [05414] for a prey [0957]. 24 30 17 For I will restore [05927] health [0724] unto thee, and I will heal [07495] thee of thy wounds [04347], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; because they called [07121] thee an Outcast [05080], saying, This is Zion [06726], whom no man seeketh after [01875]. 24 30 18 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of Jacob's [03290] tents [0168], and have mercy [07355] on his dwellingplaces [04908]; and the city [05892] shall be builded [01129] upon her own heap [08510], and the palace [0759] shall remain [03427] after the manner [04941] thereof. 24 30 19 And out of them shall proceed [03318] thanksgiving [08426] and the voice [06963] of them that make merry [07832]: and I will multiply [07235] them, and they shall not be few [04591]; I will also glorify [03513] them, and they shall not be small [06819]. 24 30 20 Their children [01121] also shall be as aforetime [06924], and their congregation [05712] shall be established [03559] before [06440] me, and I will punish [06485] all that oppress [03905] them. 24 30 21 And their nobles [0117] shall be of themselves, and their governor [04910] shall proceed [03318] from the midst [07130] of them; and I will cause him to draw near [07126], and he shall approach [05066] unto me: for who is this that engaged [06148] his heart [03820] to approach [05066] unto me? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 30 22 And ye shall be my people [05971], and I will be your God [0430]. 24 30 23 Behold, the whirlwind [05591] of the LORD [03068] goeth forth [03318] with fury [02534], a continuing [01641] whirlwind [05591]: it shall fall with pain [02342] upon the head [07218] of the wicked [07563]. 24 30 24 The fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] shall not return [07725], until he have done [06213] it, and until he have performed [06965] the intents [04209] of his heart [03820]: in the latter [0319] days [03117] ye shall consider [0995] it. 24 31 1 At the same time [06256], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], will I be the God [0430] of all the families [04940] of Israel [03478], and they shall be my people [05971]. 24 31 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], The people [05971] which were left [08300] of the sword [02719] found [04672] grace [02580] in the wilderness [04057]; even Israel [03478], when I went [01980] to cause him to rest [07280]. 24 31 3 The LORD [03068] hath appeared [07200] of old [07350] unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved [0157] thee with an everlasting [05769] love [0160]: therefore with lovingkindness [02617] have I drawn [04900] thee. 24 31 4 Again I will build [01129] thee, and thou shalt be built [01129], O virgin [01330] of Israel [03478]: thou shalt again be adorned [05710] with thy tabrets [08596], and shalt go forth [03318] in the dances [04234] of them that make merry [07832]. 24 31 5 Thou shalt yet plant [05193] vines [03754] upon the mountains [02022] of Samaria [08111]: the planters [05193] shall plant [05193], and shall eat them as common things [02490]. 24 31 6 For there shall be [03426] a day [03117], that the watchmen [05341] upon the mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] shall cry [07121], Arise [06965] ye, and let us go up [05927] to Zion [06726] unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 31 7 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Sing [07442] with gladness [08057] for Jacob [03290], and shout [06670] among the chief [07218] of the nations [01471]: publish [08085] ye, praise [01984] ye, and say [0559], O LORD [03068], save [03467] thy people [05971], the remnant [07611] of Israel [03478]. 24 31 8 Behold, I will bring [0935] them from the north [06828] country [0776], and gather [06908] them from the coasts [03411] of the earth [0776], and with them the blind [05787] and the lame [06455], the woman with child [02030] and her that travaileth with child [03205] together [03162]: a great [01419] company [06951] shall return [07725] thither. 24 31 9 They shall come [0935] with weeping [01065], and with supplications [08469] will I lead [02986] them: I will cause them to walk [03212] by the rivers [05158] of waters [04325] in a straight [03477] way [01870], wherein they shall not stumble [03782]: for I am a father [01] to Israel [03478], and Ephraim [0669] is my firstborn [01060]. 24 31 10 Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O ye nations [01471], and declare [05046] it in the isles [0339] afar off [04801], and say [0559], He that scattered [02219] Israel [03478] will gather [06908] him, and keep [08104] him, as a shepherd [07462] doth his flock [05739]. 24 31 11 For the LORD [03068] hath redeemed [06299] Jacob [03290], and ransomed [01350] him from the hand [03027] of him that was stronger [02389] than he. 24 31 12 Therefore they shall come [0935] and sing [07442] in the height [04791] of Zion [06726], and shall flow together [05102] to the goodness [02898] of the LORD [03068], for wheat [01715], and for wine [08492], and for oil [03323], and for the young [01121] of the flock [06629] and of the herd [01241]: and their soul [05315] shall be as a watered [07302] garden [01588]; and they shall not sorrow [01669] any more [03254] at all. 24 31 13 Then shall the virgin [01330] rejoice [08055] in the dance [04234], both young men [0970] and old [02205] together [03162]: for I will turn [02015] their mourning [060] into joy [08342], and will comfort [05162] them, and make them rejoice [08055] from their sorrow [03015]. 24 31 14 And I will satiate [07301] the soul [05315] of the priests [03548] with fatness [01880], and my people [05971] shall be satisfied [07646] with my goodness [02898], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 31 15 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; A voice [06963] was heard [08085] in Ramah [07414], lamentation [05092], and bitter [08563] weeping [01065]; Rahel [07354] weeping [01058] for her children [01121] refused [03985] to be comforted [05162] for her children [01121], because they were not. 24 31 16 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Refrain [04513] thy voice [06963] from weeping [01065], and thine eyes [05869] from tears [01832]: for thy work [06468] shall be [03426] rewarded [07939], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and they shall come again [07725] from the land [0776] of the enemy [0341]. 24 31 17 And there is [03426] hope [08615] in thine end [0319], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that thy children [01121] shall come again [07725] to their own border [01366]. 24 31 18 I have surely [08085] heard [08085] Ephraim [0669] bemoaning [05110] himself thus; Thou hast chastised [03256] me, and I was chastised [03256], as a bullock [05695] unaccustomed [03808] [03925] to the yoke: turn [07725] thou me, and I shall be turned [07725]; for thou art the LORD [03068] my God [0430]. 24 31 19 Surely after [0310] that I was turned [07725], I repented [05162]; and after [0310] that I was instructed [03045], I smote [05606] upon my thigh [03409]: I was ashamed [0954], yea, even confounded [03637], because I did bear [05375] the reproach [02781] of my youth [05271]. 24 31 20 Is Ephraim [0669] my dear [03357] son [01121]? is he a pleasant [08191] child [03206]? for since [01767] I spake [01696] against him, I do earnestly [02142] remember [02142] him still: therefore my bowels [04578] are troubled [01993] for him; I will surely [07355] have mercy [07355] upon him, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 31 21 Set thee up [05324] waymarks [06725], make [07760] thee high heaps [08564]: set [07896] thine heart [03820] toward the highway [04546], even the way [01870] which thou wentest [01980]: turn again [07725], O virgin [01330] of Israel [03478], turn again [07725] to these thy cities [05892]. 24 31 22 How long wilt thou go about [02559], O thou backsliding [07728] daughter [01323]? for the LORD [03068] hath created [01254] a new thing [02319] in the earth [0776], A woman [05347] shall compass [05437] a man [01397]. 24 31 23 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; As yet they shall use [0559] this speech [01697] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063] and in the cities [05892] thereof, when I shall bring again [07725] their captivity [07622]; The LORD [03068] bless [01288] thee, O habitation [05116] of justice [06664], and mountain [02022] of holiness [06944]. 24 31 24 And there shall dwell [03427] in Judah [03063] itself, and in all the cities [05892] thereof together [03162], husbandmen [0406], and they that go forth [05265] with flocks [05739]. 24 31 25 For I have satiated [07301] the weary [05889] soul [05315], and I have replenished [04390] every sorrowful [01669] soul [05315]. 24 31 26 Upon this I awaked [06974], and beheld [07200]; and my sleep [08142] was sweet [06149] unto me. 24 31 27 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will sow [02232] the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and the house [01004] of Judah [03063] with the seed [02233] of man [0120], and with the seed [02233] of beast [0929]. 24 31 28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over [08245] them, to pluck up [05428], and to break down [05422], and to throw down [02040], and to destroy [06], and to afflict [07489]; so will I watch over [08245] them, to build [01129], and to plant [05193], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 31 29 In those days [03117] they shall say [0559] no more, The fathers [01] have eaten [0398] a sour grape [01155], and the children's [01121] teeth [08127] are set on edge [06949]. 24 31 30 But every one [0376] shall die [04191] for his own iniquity [05771]: every man [0120] that eateth [0398] the sour grape [01155], his teeth [08127] shall be set on edge [06949]. 24 31 31 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will make [03772] a new [02319] covenant [01285] with the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and with the house [01004] of Judah [03063]: 24 31 32 Not according to the covenant [01285] that I made [03772] with their fathers [01] in the day [03117] that I took [02388] them by the hand [03027] to bring them out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; which my covenant [01285] they brake [06565], although I was an husband [01166] unto them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: 24 31 33 But this shall be the covenant [01285] that I will make [03772] with the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; After [0310] those days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will put [05414] my law [08451] in their inward parts [07130], and write [03789] it in their hearts [03820]; and will be their God [0430], and they shall be my people [05971]. 24 31 34 And they shall teach [03925] no more every man [0376] his neighbour [07453], and every man [0376] his brother [0251], saying [0559], Know [03045] the LORD [03068]: for they shall all know [03045] me, from the least [06996] of them unto the greatest [01419] of them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: for I will forgive [05545] their iniquity [05771], and I will remember [02142] their sin [02403] no more. 24 31 35 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], which giveth [05414] the sun [08121] for a light [0216] by day [03119], and the ordinances [02708] of the moon [03394] and of the stars [03556] for a light [0216] by night [03915], which divideth [07280] the sea [03220] when the waves [01530] thereof roar [01993]; The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]: 24 31 36 If those ordinances [02706] depart [04185] from before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], then the seed [02233] of Israel [03478] also shall cease [07673] from being a nation [01471] before [06440] me for ever [03117]. 24 31 37 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If heaven [08064] above [04605] can be measured [04058], and the foundations [04146] of the earth [0776] searched out [02713] beneath [04295], I will also cast off [03988] all the seed [02233] of Israel [03478] for all that they have done [06213], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 31 38 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that the city [05892] shall be built [01129] to the LORD [03068] from the tower [04026] of Hananeel [02606] unto the gate [08179] of the corner [06438]. 24 31 39 And the measuring [04060] line [06957] [06961] shall yet go forth [03318] over against it upon the hill [01389] Gareb [01619], and shall compass about [05437] to Goath [01601]. 24 31 40 And the whole valley [06010] of the dead bodies [06297], and of the ashes [01880], and all the fields [07709] [08309] unto the brook [05158] of Kidron [06939], unto the corner [06438] of the horse [05483] gate [08179] toward the east [04217], shall be holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]; it shall not be plucked up [05428], nor thrown down [02040] any more for ever [05769]. 24 32 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068] in the tenth [06224] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], which was the eighteenth [08083] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019]. 24 32 2 For then the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] besieged [06696] Jerusalem [03389]: and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] was shut up [03607] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], which was in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004]. 24 32 3 For Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had shut him up [03607], saying [0559], Wherefore dost thou prophesy [05012], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall take [03920] it; 24 32 4 And Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] shall not escape [04422] out of the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], but shall surely [05414] be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and shall speak [01696] with him mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], and his eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] his eyes [05869]; 24 32 5 And he shall lead [03212] Zedekiah [06667] to Babylon [0894], and there shall he be until I visit [06485] him, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: though ye fight [03898] with the Chaldeans [03778], ye shall not prosper [06743]. 24 32 6 And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 24 32 7 Behold, Hanameel [02601] the son [01121] of Shallum [07967] thine uncle [01730] shall come [0935] unto thee, saying [0559], Buy [07069] thee my field [07704] that is in Anathoth [06068]: for the right [04941] of redemption [01353] is thine to buy [07069] it. 24 32 8 So Hanameel [02601] mine uncle's [01730] son [01121] came [0935] to me in the court [02691] of the prison [04307] according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and said [0559] unto me, Buy [07069] my field [07704], I pray thee, that is in Anathoth [06068], which is in the country [0776] of Benjamin [01144]: for the right [04941] of inheritance [03425] is thine, and the redemption [01353] is thine; buy [07069] it for thyself. Then I knew [03045] that this was the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 24 32 9 And I bought [07069] the field [07704] of Hanameel [02601] my uncle's [01730] son [01121], that was in Anathoth [06068], and weighed [08254] him the money [03701], even seventeen [07651] [06235] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]. 24 32 10 And I subscribed [03789] the evidence [05612], and sealed [02856] it, and took [05749] witnesses [05707], and weighed [08254] him the money [03701] in the balances [03976]. 24 32 11 So I took [03947] the evidence [05612] of the purchase [04736], both that which was sealed [02856] according to the law [04687] and custom [02706], and that which was open [01540]: 24 32 12 And I gave [05414] the evidence [05612] of the purchase [04736] unto Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04271], in the sight [05869] of Hanameel [02601] mine uncle's [01730] son, and in the presence [05869] of the witnesses [05707] that subscribed [03789] the book [05612] of the purchase [04736], before [05869] all the Jews [03064] that sat [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]. 24 32 13 And I charged [06680] Baruch [01263] before [05869] them, saying [0559], 24 32 14 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Take [03947] these evidences [05612], this evidence [05612] of the purchase [04736], both which is sealed [02856], and this evidence [05612] which is open [01540]; and put [05414] them in an earthen [02789] vessel [03627], that they may continue [05975] many [07227] days [03117]. 24 32 15 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Houses [01004] and fields [07704] and vineyards [03754] shall be possessed again [07069] in this land [0776]. 24 32 16 Now when [0310] I had delivered [05414] the evidence [05612] of the purchase [04736] unto Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], I prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 32 17 Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, thou hast made [06213] the heaven [08064] and the earth [0776] by thy great [01419] power [03581] and stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and there is nothing [01697] too hard [06381] for thee: 24 32 18 Thou shewest [06213] lovingkindness [02617] unto thousands [0505], and recompensest [07999] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] into the bosom [02436] of their children [01121] after [0310] them: the Great [01419], the Mighty [01368] God [0410], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], is his name [08034], 24 32 19 Great [01419] in counsel [06098], and mighty [07227] in work [05950]: for thine eyes [05869] are open [06491] upon all the ways [01870] of the sons [01121] of men [0120]: to give [05414] every one [0376] according to his ways [01870], and according to the fruit [06529] of his doings [04611]: 24 32 20 Which hast set [07760] signs [0226] and wonders [04159] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], even unto this day [03117], and in Israel [03478], and among other men [0120]; and hast made [06213] thee a name [08034], as at this day [03117]; 24 32 21 And hast brought forth [03318] thy people [05971] Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] with signs [0226], and with wonders [04159], and with a strong [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [0248], and with great [01419] terror [04172]; 24 32 22 And hast given [05414] them this land [0776], which thou didst swear [07650] to their fathers [01] to give [05414] them, a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; 24 32 23 And they came in [0935], and possessed [03423] it; but they obeyed [08085] not thy voice [06963], neither walked [01980] in thy law [08451]; they have done [06213] nothing of all that thou commandedst [06680] them to do [06213]: therefore thou hast caused all this evil [07451] to come [07122] upon them: 24 32 24 Behold the mounts [05550], they are come [0935] unto the city [05892] to take [03920] it; and the city [05892] is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], that fight [03898] against it, because [06440] of the sword [02719], and of the famine [07458], and of the pestilence [01698]: and what thou hast spoken [01696] is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest [07200] it. 24 32 25 And thou hast said [0559] unto me, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Buy [07069] thee the field [07704] for money [03701], and take [05749] witnesses [05707]; for the city [05892] is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778]. 24 32 26 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 32 27 Behold, I am the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of all flesh [01320]: is there any thing [01697] too hard [06381] for me? 24 32 28 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], and into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall take [03920] it: 24 32 29 And the Chaldeans [03778], that fight [03898] against this city [05892], shall come [0935] and set [03341] fire [0784] on this city [05892], and burn [08313] it with the houses [01004], upon whose roofs [01406] they have offered incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and poured out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto other [0312] gods [0430], to provoke me to anger [03707]. 24 32 30 For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and the children [01121] of Judah [03063] have only done [06213] evil [07451] before [05869] me from their youth [05271]: for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] have only provoked me to anger [03707] with the work [04639] of their hands [03027], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 32 31 For this city [05892] hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger [0639] and of my fury [02534] from the day [03117] that they built [01129] it even unto this day [03117]; that I should remove [05493] it from before my face [06440], 24 32 32 Because of all the evil [07451] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] and of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], which they have done [06213] to provoke me to anger [03707], they, their kings [04428], their princes [08269], their priests [03548], and their prophets [05030], and the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]. 24 32 33 And they have turned [06437] unto me the back [06203], and not the face [06440]: though I taught [03925] them, rising up early [07925] and teaching [03925] them, yet they have not hearkened [08085] to receive [03947] instruction [04148]. 24 32 34 But they set [07760] their abominations [08251] in the house [01004], which is called [07121] by my name [08034], to defile [02930] it. 24 32 35 And they built [01129] the high places [01116] of Baal [01168], which are in the valley [01516] of the son [01121] of Hinnom [02011], to cause their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323] to pass [05674] through the fire unto Molech [04432]; which I commanded [06680] them not, neither came [05927] it into my mind [03820], that they should do [06213] this abomination [08441], to cause Judah [03063] to sin [02398]. 24 32 36 And now therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning this city [05892], whereof ye say [0559], It shall be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] by the sword [02719], and by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]; 24 32 37 Behold, I will gather them out [06908] of all countries [0776], whither I have driven [05080] them in mine anger [0639], and in my fury [02534], and in great [01419] wrath [07110]; and I will bring them again [07725] unto this place [04725], and I will cause them to dwell [03427] safely [0983]: 24 32 38 And they shall be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430]: 24 32 39 And I will give [05414] them one [0259] heart [03820], and one [0259] way [01870], that they may fear [03372] me for ever [03117], for the good [02896] of them, and of their children [01121] after [0310] them: 24 32 40 And I will make [03772] an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them, that I will not turn away [07725] from them [0310], to do them good [03190]; but I will put [05414] my fear [03374] in their hearts [03824], that they shall not depart [05493] from me. 24 32 41 Yea, I will rejoice [07797] over them to do them good [02895], and I will plant [05193] them in this land [0776] assuredly [0571] with my whole heart [03820] and with my whole soul [05315]. 24 32 42 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Like as I have brought [0935] all this great [01419] evil [07451] upon this people [05971], so will I bring [0935] upon them all the good [02896] that I have promised [01696] them. 24 32 43 And fields [07704] shall be bought [07069] in this land [0776], whereof ye say [0559], It is desolate [08077] without man [0120] or beast [0929]; it is given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778]. 24 32 44 Men shall buy [07069] fields [07704] for money [03701], and subscribe [03789] evidences [05612], and seal [02856] them, and take [05749] witnesses [05707] in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], and in the cities [05892] of the valley [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 33 1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414] the second [08145] time, while he was yet shut up [06113] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], saying [0559], 24 33 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] the maker [06213] thereof, the LORD [03068] that formed [03335] it, to establish [03559] it; the LORD [03068] is his name [08034]; 24 33 3 Call [07121] unto me, and I will answer [06030] thee, and shew [05046] thee great [01419] and mighty things [01219], which thou knowest [03045] not. 24 33 4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], concerning the houses [01004] of this city [05892], and concerning the houses [01004] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], which are thrown down [05422] by the mounts [05550], and by the sword [02719]; 24 33 5 They come [0935] to fight [03898] with the Chaldeans [03778], but it is to fill [04390] them with the dead bodies [06297] of men [0120], whom I have slain [05221] in mine anger [0639] and in my fury [02534], and for all whose wickedness [07451] I have hid [05641] my face [06440] from this city [05892]. 24 33 6 Behold, I will bring [05927] it health [0724] and cure [04832], and I will cure [07495] them, and will reveal [01540] unto them the abundance [06283] of peace [07965] and truth [0571]. 24 33 7 And I will cause the captivity [07622] of Judah [03063] and the captivity [07622] of Israel [03478] to return [07725], and will build [01129] them, as at the first [07223]. 24 33 8 And I will cleanse [02891] them from all their iniquity [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398] against me; and I will pardon [05545] all their iniquities [05771], whereby they have sinned [02398], and whereby they have transgressed [06586] against me. 24 33 9 And it shall be to me a name [08034] of joy [08342], a praise [08416] and an honour [08597] before all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776], which shall hear [08085] all the good [02896] that I do [06213] unto them: and they shall fear [06342] and tremble [07264] for all the goodness [02896] and for all the prosperity [07965] that I procure [06213] unto it. 24 33 10 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Again there shall be heard [08085] in this place [04725], which ye say [0559] shall be desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], even in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], that are desolate [08074], without man [0120], and without inhabitant [03427], and without beast [0929], 24 33 11 The voice [06963] of joy [08342], and the voice [06963] of gladness [08057], the voice [06963] of the bridegroom [02860], and the voice [06963] of the bride [03618], the voice [06963] of them that shall say [0559], Praise [03034] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: for the LORD [03068] is good [02896]; for his mercy [02617] endureth for ever [05769]: and of them that shall bring [0935] the sacrifice of praise [08426] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. For I will cause to return [07725] the captivity [07622] of the land [0776], as at the first [07223], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 24 33 12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Again in this place [04725], which is desolate [02720] without man [0120] and without beast [0929], and in all the cities [05892] thereof, shall be an habitation [05116] of shepherds [07462] causing their flocks [06629] to lie down [07257]. 24 33 13 In the cities [05892] of the mountains [02022], in the cities [05892] of the vale [08219], and in the cities [05892] of the south [05045], and in the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], and in the places about [05439] Jerusalem [03389], and in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], shall the flocks [06629] pass again [05674] under the hands [03027] of him that telleth [04487] them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 24 33 14 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will perform [06965] that good [02896] thing [01697] which I have promised [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063]. 24 33 15 In those days [03117], and at that time [06256], will I cause the Branch [06780] of righteousness [06666] to grow up [06779] unto David [01732]; and he shall execute [06213] judgment [04941] and righteousness [06666] in the land [0776]. 24 33 16 In those days [03117] shall Judah [03063] be saved [03467], and Jerusalem [03389] shall dwell [07931] safely [0983]: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called [07121], The LORD our righteousness [03072]. 24 33 17 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; David [01732] shall never [03808] want [03772] a man [0376] to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; 24 33 18 Neither shall the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] want [03772] a man [0376] before [06440] me to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930], and to kindle [06999] meat offerings [04503], and to do [06213] sacrifice [02077] continually [03117]. 24 33 19 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 33 20 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If ye can break [06565] my covenant [01285] of the day [03117], and my covenant [01285] of the night [03915], and that there should not be day [03119] and night [03915] in their season [06256]; 24 33 21 Then may also my covenant [01285] be broken [06565] with David [01732] my servant [05650], that he should not have a son [01121] to reign [04427] upon his throne [03678]; and with the Levites [03881] the priests [03548], my ministers [08334]. 24 33 22 As the host [06635] of heaven [08064] cannot be numbered [05608], neither the sand [02344] of the sea [03220] measured [04058]: so will I multiply [07235] the seed [02233] of David [01732] my servant [05650], and the Levites [03881] that minister [08334] unto me. 24 33 23 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 33 24 Considerest [07200] thou not what this people [05971] have spoken [01696], saying [0559], The two [08147] families [04940] which the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977], he hath even cast them off [03988]? thus they have despised [05006] my people [05971], that they should be no more a nation [01471] before [06440] them. 24 33 25 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; If my covenant [01285] be not with day [03119] and night [03915], and if I have not appointed [07760] the ordinances [02708] of heaven [08064] and earth [0776]; 24 33 26 Then [01571] will I cast away [03988] the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], and David [01732] my servant [05650], so that I will not take [03947] any of his seed [02233] to be rulers [04910] over the seed [02233] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03446], and Jacob [03290]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725] [07725], and have mercy [07355] on them. 24 34 1 The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], when Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and all his army [02428], and all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776] of his dominion [03027] [04475], and all the people [05971], fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] thereof, saying [0559], 24 34 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Go [01980] and speak [0559] to Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and tell [0559] him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will give [05414] this city [05892] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall burn [08313] it with fire [0784]: 24 34 3 And thou shalt not escape out [04422] of his hand [03027], but shalt surely [08610] be taken [08610], and delivered [05414] into his hand [03027]; and thine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] the eyes [05869] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall speak [01696] with thee mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], and thou shalt go [0935] to Babylon [0894]. 24 34 4 Yet hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], O Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of thee, Thou shalt not die [04191] by the sword [02719]: 24 34 5 But thou shalt die [04191] in peace [07965]: and with the burnings [04955] of thy fathers [01], the former [07223] kings [04428] which were before [06440] thee, so shall they burn [08313] odours for thee; and they will lament [05594] thee, saying, Ah [01945] lord [0113]! for I have pronounced [01696] the word [01697], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 34 6 Then Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] all these words [01697] unto Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] in Jerusalem [03389], 24 34 7 When the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428] fought [03898] against Jerusalem [03389], and against all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] that were left [03498], against Lachish [03923], and against Azekah [05825]: for these defenced [04013] cities [05892] remained [07604] of the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 24 34 8 This is the word [01697] that came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], after [0310] that the king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] had made [03772] a covenant [01285] with all the people [05971] which were at Jerusalem [03389], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] unto them; 24 34 9 That every man [0376] should let his manservant [05650], and every man [0376] his maidservant [08198], being an Hebrew [05680] or an Hebrewess [05680], go [07971] free [02670]; that none should serve [05647] himself of them, to wit, of a Jew [03064] his brother [0251]. 24 34 10 Now when all the princes [08269], and all the people [05971], which had entered [0935] into the covenant [01285], heard [08085] that every one [0376] should let his manservant [05650], and every one [0376] his maidservant [08198], go [07971] free [02670], that none should serve [05647] themselves of them any more, then they obeyed [08085], and let them go [07971]. 24 34 11 But afterward [0310] they turned [07725], and caused the servants [05650] and the handmaids [08198], whom they had let go [07971] free [02670], to return [07725], and brought them into subjection [03533] [03533] for servants [05650] and for handmaids [08198]. 24 34 12 Therefore the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 34 13 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; I made [03772] a covenant [01285] with your fathers [01] in the day [03117] that I brought them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], out of the house [01004] of bondmen [05650], saying [0559], 24 34 14 At the end [07093] of seven [07651] years [08141] let ye go [07971] every man [0376] his brother [0251] an Hebrew [05680], which hath been sold [04376] unto thee; and when he hath served [05647] thee six [08337] years [08141], thou shalt let him go [07971] free [02670] from thee: but your fathers [01] hearkened [08085] not unto me, neither inclined [05186] their ear [0241]. 24 34 15 And ye were now [03117] turned [07725], and had done [06213] right [03477] in my sight [05869], in proclaiming [07121] liberty [01865] every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453]; and ye had made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] me in the house [01004] which is called [07121] by my name [08034]: 24 34 16 But ye turned [07725] and polluted [02490] my name [08034], and caused every man [0376] his servant [05650], and every man [0376] his handmaid [08198], whom ye had set [07971] at liberty [02670] at their pleasure [05315], to return [07725], and brought them into subjection [03533], to be unto you for servants [05650] and for handmaids [08198]. 24 34 17 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Ye have not hearkened [08085] unto me, in proclaiming [07121] liberty [01865], every one [0376] to his brother [0251], and every man [0376] to his neighbour [07453]: behold, I proclaim [07121] a liberty [01865] for you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], to the sword [02719], to the pestilence [01698], and to the famine [07458]; and I will make [05414] you to be removed [02189] [02113] into all the kingdoms [04467] of the earth [0776]. 24 34 18 And I will give [05414] the men [0582] that have transgressed [05674] my covenant [01285], which have not performed [06965] the words [01697] of the covenant [01285] which they had made [03772] before [06440] me, when they cut [03772] the calf [05695] in twain [08147], and passed [05674] between the parts [01335] thereof, 24 34 19 The princes [08269] of Judah [03063], and the princes [08269] of Jerusalem [03389], the eunuchs [05631], and the priests [03548], and all the people [05971] of the land [0776], which passed [05674] between the parts [01335] of the calf [05695]; 24 34 20 I will even give [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] their life [05315]: and their dead bodies [05038] shall be for meat [03978] unto the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and to the beasts [0929] of the earth [0776]. 24 34 21 And Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] and his princes [08269] will I give [05414] into the hand [03027] of their enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] their life [05315], and into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428], which are gone up [05927] from you. 24 34 22 Behold, I will command [06680], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and cause them to return [07725] to this city [05892]; and they shall fight [03898] against it, and take [03920] it, and burn [08313] it with fire [0784]: and I will make [05414] the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] a desolation [08077] without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 35 1 The word [01697] which came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068] in the days [03117] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], 24 35 2 Go [01980] unto the house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397], and speak [01696] unto them, and bring [0935] them into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], into one [0259] of the chambers [03957], and give them wine [03196] to drink [08248]. 24 35 3 Then I took [03947] Jaazaniah [02970] the son [01121] of Jeremiah [03414], the son [01121] of Habaziniah [02262], and his brethren [0251], and all his sons [01121], and the whole house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397]; 24 35 4 And I brought [0935] them into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], into the chamber [03957] of the sons [01121] of Hanan [02605], the son [01121] of Igdaliah [03012], a man [0376] of God [0430], which was by [0681] the chamber [03957] of the princes [08269], which was above [04605] the chamber [03957] of Maaseiah [04641] the son [01121] of Shallum [07967], the keeper [08104] of the door [05592]: 24 35 5 And I set [05414] before [06440] the sons [01121] of the house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397] pots [01375] full [04392] of wine [03196], and cups [03563], and I said [0559] unto them, Drink [08354] ye wine [03196]. 24 35 6 But they said [0559], We will drink [08354] no wine [03196]: for Jonadab [03122] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394] our father [01] commanded [06680] us, saying [0559], Ye shall drink [08354] no wine [03196], neither ye, nor your sons [01121] for [05704] ever [05769]: 24 35 7 Neither shall ye build [01129] house [01004], nor sow [02232] seed [02233], nor plant [05193] vineyard [03754], nor have any: but all your days [03117] ye shall dwell [03427] in tents [0168]; that ye may live [02421] many [07227] days [03117] in [06440] the land [0127] where ye be strangers [01481]. 24 35 8 Thus have we obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of Jonadab [03082] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394] our father [01] in all that he hath charged [06680] us, to drink [08354] no wine [03196] all our days [03117], we, our wives [0802], our sons [01121], nor our daughters [01323]; 24 35 9 Nor to build [01129] houses [01004] for us to dwell in [03427]: neither have we vineyard [03754], nor field [07704], nor seed [02233]: 24 35 10 But we have dwelt in [03427] tents [0168], and have obeyed [08085], and done [06213] according to all that Jonadab [03122] our father [01] commanded [06680] us. 24 35 11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927] into the land [0776], that we said [0559], Come [0935], and let us go [0935] to Jerusalem [03389] for fear [06440] of the army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778], and for fear [06440] of the army [02428] of the Syrians [0758]: so we dwell [03427] at Jerusalem [03389]. 24 35 12 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 35 13 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Go [01980] and tell [0559] the men [0376] of Judah [03063] and the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], Will ye not receive [03947] instruction [04148] to hearken [08085] to my words [01697]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 35 14 The words [01697] of Jonadab [03082] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394], that he commanded [06680] his sons [01121] not to drink [08354] wine [03196], are performed [06965]; for unto this day [03117] they drink [08354] none, but obey [08085] their father's [01] commandment [04687]: notwithstanding I have spoken [01696] unto you, rising early [07925] and speaking [01696]; but ye hearkened [08085] not unto me. 24 35 15 I have sent [07971] also unto you all my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], rising up early [07925] and sending [07971] them, saying [0559], Return [07725] ye now every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and amend [03190] your doings [04611], and go [03212] not after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them, and ye shall dwell in [03427] the land [0127] which I have given [05414] to you and to your fathers [01]: but ye have not inclined [05186] your ear [0241], nor hearkened [08085] unto me. 24 35 16 Because the sons [01121] of Jonadab [03082] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394] have performed [06965] the commandment [04687] of their father [01], which he commanded [06680] them; but this people [05971] hath not hearkened [08085] unto me: 24 35 17 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will bring [0935] upon Judah [03063] and upon all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] all the evil [07451] that I have pronounced [01696] against them: because I have spoken [01696] unto them, but they have not heard [08085]; and I have called [07121] unto them, but they have not answered [06030]. 24 35 18 And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto the house [01004] of the Rechabites [07397], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Because ye have obeyed [08085] the commandment [04687] of Jonadab [03082] your father [01], and kept [08104] all his precepts [04687], and done [06213] according unto all that he hath commanded [06680] you: 24 35 19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Jonadab [03122] the son [01121] of Rechab [07394] shall not want [03772] a man [0376] to stand [05975] before [06440] me for ever [03117]. 24 36 1 And it came to pass in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], that this word [01697] came unto Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], saying [0559], 24 36 2 Take [03947] thee a roll [04039] of a book [05612], and write [03789] therein all the words [01697] that I have spoken [01696] unto thee against Israel [03478], and against Judah [03063], and against all the nations [01471], from the day [03117] I spake [01696] unto thee, from the days [03117] of Josiah [02977], even unto this day [03117]. 24 36 3 It may be that the house [01004] of Judah [03063] will hear [08085] all the evil [07451] which I purpose [02803] to do [06213] unto them; that they may return [07725] every man [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]; that I may forgive [05545] their iniquity [05771] and their sin [02403]. 24 36 4 Then Jeremiah [03414] called [07121] Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]: and Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he had spoken [01696] unto him, upon a roll [04039] of a book [05612]. 24 36 5 And Jeremiah [03414] commanded [06680] Baruch [01263], saying [0559], I am shut up [06113]; I cannot [03201] go [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: 24 36 6 Therefore go [0935] thou, and read [07121] in the roll [04039], which thou hast written [03789] from my mouth [06310], the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] upon the fasting [06685] day [03117]: and also thou shalt read [07121] them in the ears [0241] of all Judah [03063] that come out [0935] of their cities [05892]. 24 36 7 It may be they will present [05307] their supplication [08467] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and will return [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]: for great [01419] is the anger [0639] and the fury [02534] that the LORD [03068] hath pronounced [01696] against this people [05971]. 24 36 8 And Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] did [06213] according to all that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] commanded [06680] him, reading [07121] in the book [05612] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]. 24 36 9 And it came to pass in the fifth [02549] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the ninth [08671] month [02320], that they proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685] before [06440] the LORD [03068] to all the people [05971] in Jerusalem [03389], and to all the people [05971] that came [0935] from the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] unto Jerusalem [03389]. 24 36 10 Then read [07121] Baruch [01263] in the book [05612] the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], in the chamber [03957] of Gemariah [01587] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] the scribe [05608], in the higher [05945] court [02691], at the entry [06607] of the new [02319] gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], in the ears [0241] of all the people [05971]. 24 36 11 When Michaiah [04321] the son [01121] of Gemariah [01587], the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], had heard [08085] out of the book [05612] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], 24 36 12 Then he went down [03381] into the king's [04428] house [01004], into the scribe's [05608] chamber [03957]: and, lo, all the princes [08269] sat [03427] there, even Elishama [0476] the scribe [05608], and Delaiah [01806] the son [01121] of Shemaiah [08098], and Elnathan [0494] the son [01121] of Achbor [05907], and Gemariah [01587] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Hananiah [02608], and all the princes [08269]. 24 36 13 Then Michaiah [04321] declared [05046] unto them all the words [01697] that he had heard [08085], when Baruch [01263] read [07121] the book [05612] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971]. 24 36 14 Therefore all the princes [08269] sent [07971] Jehudi [03065] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], the son [01121] of Cushi [03570], unto Baruch [01263], saying [0559], Take [03947] in thine hand [03027] the roll [04039] wherein thou hast read [07121] in the ears [0241] of the people [05971], and come [03212]. So Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] took [03947] the roll [04039] in his hand [03027], and came [0935] unto them. 24 36 15 And they said [0559] unto him, Sit down [03427] now, and read [07121] it in our ears [0241]. So Baruch [01263] read [07121] it in their ears [0241]. 24 36 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard [08085] all the words [01697], they were afraid [06342] both [0413] one [0376] and other [07453], and said [0559] unto Baruch [01263], We will surely [05046] tell [05046] the king [04428] of all these words [01697]. 24 36 17 And they asked [07592] Baruch [01263], saying [0559], Tell [05046] us now, How didst thou write [03789] all these words [01697] at his mouth [06310]? 24 36 18 Then Baruch [01263] answered [0559] them, He pronounced [07121] all these words [01697] unto me with his mouth [06310], and I wrote [03789] them with ink [01773] in the book [05612]. 24 36 19 Then said [0559] the princes [08269] unto Baruch [01263], Go [03212], hide [05641] thee, thou and Jeremiah [03414]; and let no man [0376] know [03045] where [0375] ye be. 24 36 20 And they went in [0935] to the king [04428] into the court [02691], but they laid up [06485] the roll [04039] in the chamber [03957] of Elishama [0476] the scribe [05608], and told [05046] all the words [01697] in the ears [0241] of the king [04428]. 24 36 21 So the king [04428] sent [07971] Jehudi [03065] to fetch [03947] the roll [04039]: and he took [03947] it out of Elishama [0476] the scribe's [05608] chamber [03957]. And Jehudi [03065] read [07121] it in the ears [0241] of the king [04428], and in the ears [0241] of all the princes [08269] which stood [05975] beside [05921] the king [04428]. 24 36 22 Now the king [04428] sat [03427] in the winterhouse [01004] [02779] in the ninth [08671] month [02320]: and there was a fire on the hearth [0254] burning [01197] before [06440] him. 24 36 23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi [03065] had read [07121] three [07969] or four [0702] leaves [01817], he cut [07167] it with the penknife [08593] [05608], and cast [07993] it into the fire [0784] that was on the hearth [0254], until all the roll [04039] was consumed [08552] in the fire [0784] that was on the hearth [0254]. 24 36 24 Yet they were not afraid [06342], nor rent [07167] their garments [0899], neither the king [04428], nor any of his servants [05650] that heard [08085] all these words [01697]. 24 36 25 Nevertheless Elnathan [0494] and Delaiah [01806] and Gemariah [01587] had made intercession [06293] to the king [04428] that he would not burn [08313] the roll [04039]: but he would not hear [08085] them. 24 36 26 But the king [04428] commanded [06680] Jerahmeel [03396] the son [01121] of Hammelech [04429], and Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Azriel [05837], and Shelemiah [08018] the son [01121] of Abdeel [05655], to take [03947] Baruch [01263] the scribe [05608] and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030]: but the LORD [03068] hid [05641] them. 24 36 27 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414], after [0310] that the king [04428] had burned [08313] the roll [04039], and the words [01697] which Baruch [01263] wrote [03789] at the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 36 28 Take [03947] thee again [07725] another [0312] roll [04039], and write [03789] in it all the former [07223] words [01697] that were in the first [07223] roll [04039], which Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] hath burned [08313]. 24 36 29 And thou shalt say [0559] to Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thou hast burned [08313] this roll [04039], saying [0559], Why hast thou written [03789] therein, saying [0559], The king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall certainly [0935] come [0935] and destroy [07843] this land [0776], and shall cause to cease [07673] from thence man [0120] and beast [0929]? 24 36 30 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; He shall have none to sit [03427] upon the throne [03678] of David [01732]: and his dead body [05038] shall be cast out [07993] in the day [03117] to the heat [02721], and in the night [03915] to the frost [07140]. 24 36 31 And I will punish [06485] him and his seed [02233] and his servants [05650] for their iniquity [05771]; and I will bring [0935] upon them, and upon the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and upon the men [0376] of Judah [03063], all the evil [07451] that I have pronounced [01696] against them; but they hearkened [08085] not. 24 36 32 Then took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] another [0312] roll [04039], and gave [05414] it to Baruch [01263] the scribe [05608], the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]; who wrote [03789] therein from the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414] all the words [01697] of the book [05612] which Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] had burned [08313] in the fire [0784]: and there were added [03254] besides unto them many [07227] like [01992] words [01697]. 24 37 1 And king [04428] Zedekiah [06667] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] reigned [04427] instead of Coniah [03659] the son [01121] of Jehoiakim [03079], whom Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] made king [04427] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. 24 37 2 But neither he, nor his servants [05650], nor the people [05971] of the land [0776], did hearken [08085] unto the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414]. 24 37 3 And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971] Jehucal [03081] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018] and Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04641] the priest [03548] to the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], Pray [06419] now unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430] for us. 24 37 4 Now Jeremiah [03414] came in [0935] and went out [03318] among [08432] the people [05971]: for they had not put [05414] him into prison [01004] [03628]. 24 37 5 Then Pharaoh's [06547] army [02428] was come forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]: and when the Chaldeans [03778] that besieged [06696] Jerusalem [03389] heard [08085] tidings [08088] of them, they departed [05927] from Jerusalem [03389]. 24 37 6 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto the prophet [05030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 37 7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Thus shall ye say [0559] to the king [04428] of Judah [03063], that sent [07971] you unto me to enquire [01875] of me; Behold, Pharaoh's [06547] army [02428], which is come forth [03318] to help [05833] you, shall return [07725] to Egypt [04714] into their own land [0776]. 24 37 8 And the Chaldeans [03778] shall come again [07725], and fight [03898] against this city [05892], and take [03920] it, and burn [08313] it with fire [0784]. 24 37 9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Deceive [05377] not yourselves [05315], saying [0559], The Chaldeans [03778] shall surely [01980] depart [03212] from us: for they shall not depart [03212]. 24 37 10 For though ye had smitten [05221] the whole army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778] that fight [03898] against you, and there remained [07604] but wounded [01856] men [0582] among them, yet should they rise up [06965] every man [0376] in his tent [0168], and burn [08313] this city [05892] with fire [0784]. 24 37 11 And it came to pass, that when the army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778] was broken up [05927] from Jerusalem [03389] for fear [06440] of Pharaoh's [06547] army [02428], 24 37 12 Then Jeremiah [03414] went forth [03318] out of Jerusalem [03389] to go [03212] into the land [0776] of Benjamin [01144], to separate [02505] himself thence in the midst [08432] of the people [05971]. 24 37 13 And when he was in the gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144], a captain [01167] of the ward [06488] was there, whose name [08034] was Irijah [03376], the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], the son [01121] of Hananiah [02608]; and he took [08610] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], Thou fallest away [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778]. 24 37 14 Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414], It is false [08267]; I fall not away [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778]. But he hearkened [08085] not to him: so Irijah [03376] took [08610] Jeremiah [03414], and brought [0935] him to the princes [08269]. 24 37 15 Wherefore the princes [08269] were wroth [07107] with Jeremiah [03414], and smote [05221] him, and put [05414] him in prison [0612] in the house [01004] of Jonathan [03083] the scribe [05608]: for they had made [06213] that the prison [03608]. 24 37 16 When Jeremiah [03414] was entered [0935] into the dungeon [01004] [0953], and into the cabins [02588], and Jeremiah [03414] had remained [03427] there many [07227] days [03117]; 24 37 17 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971], and took him out [03947]: and the king [04428] asked [07592] him secretly [05643] in his house [01004], and said [0559], Is there any word [01697] from the LORD [03068]? And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], There is [03426]: for, said [0559] he, thou shalt be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 24 37 18 Moreover Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto king [04428] Zedekiah [06667], What have I offended [02398] against thee, or against thy servants [05650], or against this people [05971], that ye have put [05414] me in prison [01004] [03608]? 24 37 19 Where are now [0346] your prophets [05030] which prophesied [05012] unto you, saying [0559], The king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall not come [0935] against you, nor against this land [0776]? 24 37 20 Therefore hear [08085] now, I pray thee, O my lord [0113] the king [04428]: let my supplication [08467], I pray thee, be accepted [05307] before [06440] thee; that thou cause me not to return [07725] to the house [01004] of Jonathan [03083] the scribe [05608], lest I die [04191] there. 24 37 21 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] commanded [06680] that they should commit [06485] Jeremiah [03414] into the court [02691] of the prison [04307], and that they should give [05414] him daily [03117] a piece [03603] of bread [03899] out of the bakers [0644] ' street [02351], until all the bread [03899] in the city [05892] were spent [08552]. Thus Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]. 24 38 1 Then Shephatiah [08203] the son [01121] of Mattan [04977], and Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Pashur [06583], and Jucal [03116] the son [01121] of Shelemiah [08018], and Pashur [06583] the son [01121] of Malchiah [04441], heard [08085] the words [01697] that Jeremiah [03414] had spoken [01696] unto all the people [05971], saying [0559], 24 38 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], He that remaineth [03427] in this city [05892] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]: but he that goeth forth [03318] to the Chaldeans [03778] shall live [02421]; for he shall have his life [05315] for a prey [07998], and shall live [02421] [02425]. 24 38 3 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], This city [05892] shall surely [05414] be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] army [02428], which shall take [03920] it. 24 38 4 Therefore the princes [08269] said [0559] unto the king [04428], We beseech thee, let this man [0376] be put to death [04191]: for thus [03651] he weakeneth [07503] the hands [03027] of the men [0582] of war [04421] that remain [07604] in this city [05892], and the hands [03027] of all the people [05971], in speaking [01696] such words [01697] unto them: for this man [0376] seeketh [01875] not the welfare [07965] of this people [05971], but the hurt [07451]. 24 38 5 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] said [0559], Behold, he is in your hand [03027]: for the king [04428] is not he that can [03201] do any thing [01697] against you. 24 38 6 Then took [03947] they Jeremiah [03414], and cast [07993] him into the dungeon [0953] of Malchiah [04441] the son [01121] of Hammelech [04428], that was in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]: and they let down [07971] Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256]. And in the dungeon [0953] there was no water [04325], but mire [02916]: so Jeremiah [03414] sunk [02883] in the mire [02916]. 24 38 7 Now when Ebedmelech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569], one [0376] of the eunuchs [05631] which was in the king's [04428] house [01004], heard [08085] that they had put [05414] Jeremiah [03414] in the dungeon [0953]; the king [04428] then sitting [03427] in the gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144]; 24 38 8 Ebedmelech [05663] went forth [03318] out of the king's [04428] house [01004], and spake [01696] to the king [04428], saying [0559], 24 38 9 My lord [0113] the king [04428], these men [0582] have done evil [07489] in all that they have done [06213] to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], whom they have cast [07993] into the dungeon [0953]; and he is like to die [04191] for [06440] hunger [07458] in the place [08478] where he is: for there is no more bread [03899] in the city [05892]. 24 38 10 Then the king [04428] commanded [06680] Ebedmelech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569], saying [0559], Take [03947] from hence thirty [07970] men [0582] with thee [03027], and take up [05927] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] out of the dungeon [0953], before he die [04191]. 24 38 11 So Ebedmelech [05663] took [03947] the men [0582] with him [03027], and went [0935] into the house [01004] of the king [04428] under the treasury [0214], and took [03947] thence old [01094] cast clouts [05499] and old [01094] rotten rags [04418], and let them down [07971] by cords [02256] into the dungeon [0953] to Jeremiah [03414]. 24 38 12 And Ebedmelech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], Put [07760] now these old [01094] cast clouts [05499] and rotten rags [04418] under thine armholes [0679] [03027] under the cords [02256]. And Jeremiah [03414] did [06213] so. 24 38 13 So they drew up [04900] Jeremiah [03414] with cords [02256], and took him up [05927] out of the dungeon [0953]: and Jeremiah [03414] remained [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307]. 24 38 14 Then Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sent [07971], and took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] unto him into the third [07992] entry [03996] that is in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and the king [04428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], I will ask [07592] thee a thing [01697]; hide [03582] nothing from me. 24 38 15 Then Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto Zedekiah [06667], If I declare [05046] it unto thee, wilt thou not surely [04191] put me to death [04191]? and if I give thee counsel [03289], wilt thou not hearken [08085] unto me? 24 38 16 So Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] sware [07650] secretly [05643] unto Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], that made [06213] us this soul [05315], I will not put thee to death [04191], neither will I give [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of these men [0582] that seek [01245] thy life [05315]. 24 38 17 Then said [0559] Jeremiah [03414] unto Zedekiah [06667], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If thou wilt assuredly [03318] go forth [03318] unto the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then thy soul [05315] shall live [02421], and this city [05892] shall not be burned [08313] with fire [0784]; and thou shalt live [02421], and thine house [01004]: 24 38 18 But if thou wilt not go forth [03318] to the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], then shall this city [05892] be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], and they shall burn [08313] it with fire [0784], and thou shalt not escape out [04422] of their hand [03027]. 24 38 19 And Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], I am afraid [01672] of the Jews [03064] that are fallen [05307] to the Chaldeans [03778], lest they deliver [05414] me into their hand [03027], and they mock [05953] me. 24 38 20 But Jeremiah [03414] said [0559], They shall not deliver [05414] thee. Obey [08085], I beseech thee, the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], which I speak [01696] unto thee: so it shall be well [03190] unto thee, and thy soul [05315] shall live [02421]. 24 38 21 But if thou refuse [03986] to go forth [03318], this is the word [01697] that the LORD [03068] hath shewed [07200] me: 24 38 22 And, behold, all the women [0802] that are left [07604] in the king [04428] of Judah's [03063] house [01004] shall be brought forth [03318] to the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [08269], and those women shall say [0559], Thy friends [0582] [07965] have set thee on [05496], and have prevailed [03201] against thee: thy feet [07272] are sunk [02883] in the mire [01206], and they are turned away [05472] back [0268]. 24 38 23 So they shall bring out [03318] all thy wives [0802] and thy children [01121] to the Chaldeans [03778]: and thou shalt not escape out [04422] of their hand [03027], but shalt be taken [08610] by the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]: and thou shalt cause this city [05892] to be burned [08313] with fire [0784]. 24 38 24 Then said [0559] Zedekiah [06667] unto Jeremiah [03414], Let no man [0376] know [03045] of these words [01697], and thou shalt not die [04191]. 24 38 25 But if the princes [08269] hear [08085] that I have talked [01696] with thee, and they come [0935] unto thee, and say [0559] unto thee, Declare [05046] unto us now what thou hast said [01696] unto the king [04428], hide [03582] it not from us, and we will not put thee to death [04191]; also what the king [04428] said [01696] unto thee: 24 38 26 Then thou shalt say [0559] unto them, I presented [05307] my supplication [08467] before [06440] the king [04428], that he would not cause me to return [07725] to Jonathan's [03083] house [01004], to die [04191] there. 24 38 27 Then came [0935] all the princes [08269] unto Jeremiah [03414], and asked [07592] him: and he told [05046] them according to all these words [01697] that the king [04428] had commanded [06680]. So they left off speaking [02790] with him; for the matter [01697] was not perceived [08085]. 24 38 28 So Jeremiah [03414] abode [03427] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307] until the day [03117] that Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920]: and he was there when Jerusalem [03389] was taken [03920]. 24 39 1 In the ninth [08671] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the tenth [06224] month [02320], came [0935] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] and all his army [02428] against Jerusalem [03389], and they besieged [06696] it. 24 39 2 And in the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of Zedekiah [06667], in the fourth [07243] month [02320], the ninth [08672] day of the month [02320], the city [05892] was broken up [01234]. 24 39 3 And all the princes [08269] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came in [0935], and sat [03427] in the middle [08432] gate [08179], even Nergalsharezer [05371], Samgarnebo [05562], Sarsechim [08310], Rabsaris [07249], Nergalsharezer [05371], Rabmag [07248], with all the residue [07611] of the princes [08269] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 24 39 4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] saw [07200] them, and all the men [0582] of war [04421], then they fled [01272], and went forth [03318] out of the city [05892] by night [03915], by the way [01870] of the king's [04428] garden [01588], by the gate [08179] betwixt the two walls [02346]: and he went out [03318] the way [01870] of the plain [06160]. 24 39 5 But the Chaldeans [03778]' army [02428] pursued [07291] after [0310] them, and overtook [05381] Zedekiah [06667] in the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]: and when they had taken [03947] him, they brought him up [05927] to Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247] in the land [0776] of Hamath [02574], where he gave [01696] judgment [04941] upon him. 24 39 6 Then the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] slew [07819] the sons [01121] of Zedekiah [06667] in Riblah [07247] before his eyes [05869]: also the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] slew [07819] all the nobles [02715] of Judah [03063]. 24 39 7 Moreover he put out [05786] Zedekiah's [06667] eyes [05869], and bound [0631] him with chains [05178], to carry [0935] him to Babylon [0894]. 24 39 8 And the Chaldeans [03778] burned [08313] the king's [04428] house [01004], and the houses [01004] of the people [05971], with fire [0784], and brake down [05422] the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389]. 24 39 9 Then Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] carried away captive [01540] into Babylon [0894] the remnant [03499] of the people [05971] that remained [07604] in the city [05892], and those that fell away [05307], that fell [05307] to him, with the rest [03499] of the people [05971] that remained [07604]. 24 39 10 But Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] left [07604] of the poor [01800] of the people [05971], which had nothing [03972], in the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and gave [05414] them vineyards [03754] and fields [03010] at the same time [03117]. 24 39 11 Now Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] gave charge [06680] concerning Jeremiah [03414] to [03027] Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876], saying [0559], 24 39 12 Take [03947] him, and look well [05869] [07760] to him, and do [06213] him no harm [03972] [07451]; but do [06213] unto him even as he shall say [01696] unto thee. 24 39 13 So Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] sent [07971], and Nebushasban [05021], Rabsaris [07249], and Nergalsharezer [05371], Rabmag [07248], and all the king [04428] of Babylon's [0894] princes [07227]; 24 39 14 Even they sent [07971], and took [03947] Jeremiah [03414] out of the court [02691] of the prison [04307], and committed [05414] him unto Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], that he should carry [03318] him home [01004]: so he dwelt [03427] among [08432] the people [05971]. 24 39 15 Now the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414], while he was shut up [06113] in the court [02691] of the prison [04307], saying [0559], 24 39 16 Go [01980] and speak [0559] to Ebedmelech [05663] the Ethiopian [03569], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will bring [0935] my words [01697] upon this city [05892] for evil [07451], and not for good [02896]; and they shall be accomplished in that day [03117] before [06440] thee. 24 39 17 But I will deliver [05337] thee in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: and thou shalt not be given [05414] into the hand [03027] of the men [0582] of whom [06440] thou art afraid [03016]. 24 39 18 For I will surely [04422] deliver [04422] thee, and thou shalt not fall [05307] by the sword [02719], but thy life [05315] shall be for a prey [07998] unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust [0982] in me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 40 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] from the LORD [03068], after [0310] that Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had let him go [07971] from Ramah [07414], when he had taken [03947] him being bound [0631] in chains [0246] among [08432] all that were carried away captive [01546] of Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], which were carried away captive [01540] unto Babylon [0894]. 24 40 2 And the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] Jeremiah [03414], and said [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath pronounced [01696] this evil [07451] upon this place [04725]. 24 40 3 Now the LORD [03068] hath brought [0935] it, and done [06213] according as he hath said [01696]: because ye have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068], and have not obeyed [08085] his voice [06963], therefore this thing [01697] is come upon you. 24 40 4 And now, behold, I loose [06605] thee this day [03117] from the chains [0246] which were upon thine hand [03027]. If it seem good [02896] [05869] unto thee to come [0935] with me into Babylon [0894], come [0935]; and I will look well [07760] [05869] unto thee: but if it seem ill [07489] [05869] unto thee to come [0935] with me into Babylon [0894], forbear [02308]: behold [07200], all the land [0776] is before [06440] thee: whither it seemeth [0413] good [02896] and convenient [03477] [05869] for thee to go [03212], thither go [03212]. 24 40 5 Now while he was not yet gone back [07725], he said, Go back [07725] also to Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], whom the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath made governor [06485] over the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and dwell [03427] with him among [08432] the people [05971]: or go [03212] wheresoever it seemeth convenient [03477] [05869] unto thee to go [03212]. So the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] gave [05414] him victuals [0737] and a reward [04864], and let him go [07971]. 24 40 6 Then went [0935] Jeremiah [03414] unto Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] to Mizpah [04708]; and dwelt [03427] with him among [08432] the people [05971] that were left [07604] in the land [0776]. 24 40 7 Now when all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] which were in the fields [07704], even they and their men [0582], heard [08085] that the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had made Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] governor [06485] in the land [0776], and had committed [06485] unto him men [0582], and women [0802], and children [02945], and of the poor [01803] of the land [0776], of them that were not carried away captive [01540] to Babylon [0894]; 24 40 8 Then they came [0935] to Gedaliah [01436] to Mizpah [04708], even Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], and Johanan [03110] and Jonathan [03129] the sons [01121] of Kareah [07143], and Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Tanhumeth [08576], and the sons [01121] of Ephai [05778] the Netophathite [05200], and Jezaniah [03153] the son [01121] of a Maachathite [04602], they and their men [0582]. 24 40 9 And Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] sware [07650] unto them and to their men [0582], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not to serve [05647] the Chaldeans [03778]: dwell in [03427] the land [0776], and serve [05647] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and it shall be well [03190] with you. 24 40 10 As for me, behold, I will dwell [03427] at Mizpah [04709] to serve [05975] [06440] the Chaldeans [03778], which will come [0935] unto us: but ye, gather [0622] ye wine [03196], and summer fruits [07019], and oil [08081], and put [07760] them in your vessels [03627], and dwell [03427] in your cities [05892] that ye have taken [08610]. 24 40 11 Likewise when all the Jews [03064] that were in Moab [04124], and among the Ammonites [05983], and in Edom [0123], and that were in all the countries [0776], heard [08085] that the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had left [05414] a remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], and that he had set [06485] over them Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227]; 24 40 12 Even all the Jews [03064] returned out [07725] of all places [04725] whither they were driven [05080], and came [0935] to the land [0776] of Judah [03063], to Gedaliah [01436], unto Mizpah [04708], and gathered [0622] wine [03196] and summer fruits [07019] very [03966] much [07235]. 24 40 13 Moreover Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] that were in the fields [07704], came [0935] to Gedaliah [01436] to Mizpah [04708], 24 40 14 And said [0559] unto him, Dost thou certainly [03045] know [03045] that Baalis [01185] the king [04428] of the Ammonites [01121] [05983] hath sent [07971] Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] to slay [05221] [05315] thee? But Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] believed [0539] them not. 24 40 15 Then Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143] spake [0559] to Gedaliah [01436] in Mizpah [04709] secretly [05643], saying [0559], Let me go [03212], I pray thee, and I will slay [05221] Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], and no man [0376] shall know [03045] it: wherefore should he slay [05221] [05315] thee, that all the Jews [03064] which are gathered [06908] unto thee should be scattered [06327], and the remnant [07611] in Judah [03063] perish [06]? 24 40 16 But Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] said [0559] unto Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], Thou shalt not do [06213] this thing [01697]: for thou speakest [01696] falsely [08267] of Ishmael [03458]. 24 41 1 Now it came to pass in the seventh [07637] month [02320], that Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] the son [01121] of Elishama [0476], of the seed [02233] royal [04410], and the princes [07227] of the king [04428], even ten [06235] men [0582] with him, came [0935] unto Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] to Mizpah [04709]; and there they did eat [0398] bread [03899] together [03162] in Mizpah [04708]. 24 41 2 Then arose [06965] Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], and the ten [06235] men [0582] that were with him, and smote [05221] Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] with the sword [02719], and slew [04191] him, whom the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had made governor [06485] over the land [0776]. 24 41 3 Ishmael [03458] also slew [05221] all the Jews [03064] that were with him, even with Gedaliah [01436], at Mizpah [04709], and the Chaldeans [03778] that were found [04672] there, and the men [0582] of war [04421]. 24 41 4 And it came to pass the second [08145] day [03117] after he had slain [04191] Gedaliah [01436], and no man [0376] knew [03045] it, 24 41 5 That there came [0935] certain [0582] from Shechem [07927], from Shiloh [07887], and from Samaria [08111], even fourscore [08084] men [0376], having their beards [02206] shaven [01548], and their clothes [0899] rent [07167], and having cut [01413] themselves, with offerings [04503] and incense [03828] in their hand [03027], to bring [0935] them to the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 24 41 6 And Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] went forth [03318] from Mizpah [04709] to meet [07125] them, weeping [01058] all along [01980] as he went [01980]: and it came to pass, as he met [06298] them, he said [0559] unto them, Come [0935] to Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296]. 24 41 7 And it was so, when they came [0935] into the midst [08432] of the city [05892], that Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] slew [07819] them, and cast them into the midst [08432] of the pit [0953], he, and the men [0582] that were with him. 24 41 8 But ten [06235] men [0582] were found [04672] among them that said [0559] unto Ishmael [03458], Slay [04191] us not: for we have [03426] treasures [04301] in the field [07704], of wheat [02406], and of barley [08184], and of oil [08081], and of honey [01706]. So he forbare [02308], and slew [04191] them not among [08432] their brethren [0251]. 24 41 9 Now the pit [0953] wherein Ishmael [03458] had cast [07993] all the dead bodies [06297] of the men [0582], whom he had slain [05221] because [03027] of Gedaliah [01436], was it which Asa [0609] the king [04428] had made [06213] for fear [06440] of Baasha [01201] king [04428] of Israel [03478]: and Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] filled [04390] it with them that were slain [02491]. 24 41 10 Then Ishmael [03458] carried away captive [07617] all the residue [07611] of the people [05971] that were in Mizpah [04709], even the king's [04428] daughters [01323], and all the people [05971] that remained [07604] in Mizpah [04709], whom Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had committed [06485] to Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296]: and Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] carried them away captive [07617], and departed [03212] to go over [05674] to the Ammonites [01121] [05983]. 24 41 11 But when Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] that were with him, heard [08085] of all the evil [07451] that Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] had done [06213], 24 41 12 Then they took [03947] all the men [0582], and went [03212] to fight [03898] with Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], and found [04672] him by the great [07227] waters [04325] that are in Gibeon [01391]. 24 41 13 Now it came to pass, that when all the people [05971] which were with Ishmael [03458] saw [07200] Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] that were with him, then they were glad [08055]. 24 41 14 So all the people [05971] that Ishmael [03458] had carried away captive [07617] from Mizpah [04709] cast about [05437] and returned [07725], and went [03212] unto Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143]. 24 41 15 But Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] escaped [04422] from [06440] Johanan [03110] with eight [08083] men [0582], and went [03212] to the Ammonites [01121] [05983]. 24 41 16 Then took [03947] Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] that were with him, all the remnant [07611] of the people [05971] whom he had recovered [07725] from Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418], from Mizpah [04709], after [0310] that he had slain [05221] Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296], even mighty [01397] men [0582] of war [04421], and the women [0802], and the children [02945], and the eunuchs [05631], whom he had brought again [07725] from Gibeon [01391]: 24 41 17 And they departed [03212], and dwelt in [03427] the habitation [01628] of Chimham [03643], which is by [0681] Bethlehem [01035], to go [03212] to enter [0935] into Egypt [04714], 24 41 18 Because [06440] of the Chaldeans [03778]: for they were afraid [03372] of them, because Ishmael [03458] the son [01121] of Nethaniah [05418] had slain [05221] Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296], whom the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] made governor [06485] in the land [0776]. 24 42 1 Then all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], and Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and Jezaniah [03153] the son [01121] of Hoshaiah [01955], and all the people [05971] from the least [06996] even unto the greatest [01419], came near [05066], 24 42 2 And said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], Let, we beseech thee, our supplication [08467] be accepted [05307] before [06440] thee, and pray [06419] for us unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], even for all this remnant [07611]; (for we are left [07604] but a few [04592] of many [07235], as thine eyes [05869] do behold [07200] us:) 24 42 3 That the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] may shew [05046] us the way [01870] wherein we may walk [03212], and the thing [01697] that we may do [06213]. 24 42 4 Then Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] said [0559] unto them, I have heard [08085] you; behold, I will pray [06419] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430] according to your words [01697]; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing [01697] the LORD [03068] shall answer [06030] you, I will declare [05046] it unto you; I will keep [04513] nothing [01697] back [04513] from you. 24 42 5 Then they said [0559] to Jeremiah [03414], The LORD [03068] be a true [0571] and faithful [0539] witness [05707] between us, if we do [06213] not even according to all things [01697] for the which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] shall send [07971] thee to us. 24 42 6 Whether it be good [02896], or whether it be evil [07451], we will obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to whom we [0580] send [07971] thee; that it may be well [03190] with us, when we obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 42 7 And it came to pass after [07093] ten [06235] days [03117], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jeremiah [03414]. 24 42 8 Then called [07121] he Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428] which were with him, and all the people [05971] from the least [06996] even to the greatest [01419], 24 42 9 And said [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], unto whom ye sent [07971] me to present [05307] your supplication [08467] before [06440] him; 24 42 10 If ye will still [07725] abide [03427] in this land [0776], then will I build [01129] you, and not pull you down [02040], and I will plant [05193] you, and not pluck you up [05428]: for I repent [05162] me of the evil [07451] that I have done [06213] unto you. 24 42 11 Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], of whom [06440] ye are afraid [03373]; be not afraid [03372] of him, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: for I am with you to save [03467] you, and to deliver [05337] you from his hand [03027]. 24 42 12 And I will shew [05414] mercies [07356] unto you, that he may have mercy [07355] upon you, and cause you to return [07725] to your own land [0127]. 24 42 13 But if ye say [0559], We will not dwell [03427] in this land [0776], neither obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], 24 42 14 Saying [0559], No; but we will go [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], where we shall see [07200] no war [04421], nor hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], nor have hunger [07456] of bread [03899]; and there will we dwell [03427]: 24 42 15 And now therefore hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye remnant [07611] of Judah [03063]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If ye wholly [07760] set [07760] your faces [06440] to enter [0935] into Egypt [04714], and go [0935] to sojourn [01481] there; 24 42 16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword [02719], which ye feared [03373], shall overtake [05381] you there in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and the famine [07458], whereof ye were afraid [01672], shall follow close [01692] after [0310] you there in Egypt [04714]; and there ye shall die [04191]. 24 42 17 So shall it be with all the men [0582] that set [07760] their faces [06440] to go [0935] into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there; they shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]: and none of them shall remain [08300] or escape [06412] from [06440] the evil [07451] that I will bring [0935] upon them. 24 42 18 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; As mine anger [0639] and my fury [02534] hath been poured forth [05413] upon the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; so shall my fury [02534] be poured forth [05413] upon you, when ye shall enter [0935] into Egypt [04714]: and ye shall be an execration [0423], and an astonishment [08047], and a curse [07045], and a reproach [02781]; and ye shall see [07200] this place [04725] no more. 24 42 19 The LORD [03068] hath said [01696] concerning you, O ye remnant [07611] of Judah [03063]; Go [0935] ye not into Egypt [04714]: know [03045] certainly [03045] that I have admonished [05749] you this day [03117]. 24 42 20 For ye dissembled [08582] in your hearts [05315], when ye sent [07971] me unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430], saying [0559], Pray [06419] for us unto the LORD [03068] our God [0430]; and according unto all that the LORD [03068] our God [0430] shall say [0559], so declare [05046] unto us, and we will do [06213] it. 24 42 21 And now I have this day [03117] declared [05046] it to you; but ye have not obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], nor any thing for the which he hath sent [07971] me unto you. 24 42 22 Now therefore know [03045] certainly [03045] that ye shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698], in the place [04725] whither ye desire [02654] to go [0935] and to sojourn [01481]. 24 43 1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah [03414] had made an end [03615] of speaking [01696] unto all the people [05971] all the words [01697] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], for which the LORD [03068] their God [0430] had sent [07971] him to them, even all these words [01697], 24 43 2 Then spake [0559] Azariah [05838] the son [01121] of Hoshaiah [01955], and Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the proud [02086] men [0582], saying [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414], Thou speakest [01696] falsely [08267]: the LORD [03068] our God [0430] hath not sent [07971] thee to say [0559], Go [0935] not into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there: 24 43 3 But Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374] setteth thee on [05496] against us, for to [04616] deliver [05414] us into the hand [03027] of the Chaldeans [03778], that they might put us to death [04191], and carry us away captives [01540] into Babylon [0894]. 24 43 4 So Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], and all the people [05971], obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], to dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063]. 24 43 5 But Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], took [03947] all the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that were returned [07725] from all nations [01471], whither they had been driven [05080], to dwell [01481] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063]; 24 43 6 Even men [01397], and women [0802], and children [02945], and the king's [04428] daughters [01323], and every person [05315] that Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] had left [03240] with Gedaliah [01436] the son [01121] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], and Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], and Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374]. 24 43 7 So they came [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: for they obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068]: thus came [0935] they even to Tahpanhes [08471]. 24 43 8 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414] in Tahpanhes [08471], saying [0559], 24 43 9 Take [03947] great [01419] stones [068] in thine hand [03027], and hide [02934] them in the clay [04423] in the brickkiln [04404], which is at the entry [06607] of Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004] in Tahpanhes [08471], in the sight [05869] of the men [0582] of Judah [03064]; 24 43 10 And say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will send [07971] and take [03947] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650], and will set [07760] his throne [03678] upon [04605] these stones [068] that I have hid [02934]; and he shall spread [05186] his royal pavilion [08237] over them. 24 43 11 And when he cometh [0935], he shall smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and deliver such as are for death [04194] to death [04194]; and such as are for captivity [07628] to captivity [07628]; and such as are for the sword [02719] to the sword [02719]. 24 43 12 And I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of Egypt [04714]; and he shall burn [08313] them, and carry them away captives [07617]: and he shall array [05844] himself with the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as a shepherd [07462] putteth on [05844] his garment [0899]; and he shall go forth [03318] from thence in peace [07965]. 24 43 13 He shall break [07665] also the images [04676] of Bethshemesh [01053], that is in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of the Egyptians [04714] shall he burn [08313] with fire [0784]. 24 44 1 The word [01697] that came to Jeremiah [03414] concerning all the Jews [03064] which dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], which dwell [03427] at Migdol [04024], and at Tahpanhes [08471], and at Noph [05297], and in the country [0776] of Pathros [06624], saying [0559], 24 44 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Ye have seen [07200] all the evil [07451] that I have brought [0935] upon Jerusalem [03389], and upon all the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]; and, behold, this day [03117] they are a desolation [02723], and no man dwelleth [03427] therein, 24 44 3 Because [06440] of their wickedness [07451] which they have committed [06213] to provoke me to anger [03707], in that they went [03212] to burn incense [06999], and to serve [05647] other [0312] gods [0430], whom they knew [03045] not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers [01]. 24 44 4 Howbeit I sent [07971] unto you all my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], rising early [07925] and sending [07971] them, saying [0559], Oh, do [06213] not this abominable [08441] thing [01697] that I hate [08130]. 24 44 5 But they hearkened [08085] not, nor inclined [05186] their ear [0241] to turn [07725] from their wickedness [07451], to burn no incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430]. 24 44 6 Wherefore my fury [02534] and mine anger [0639] was poured forth [05413], and was kindled [01197] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063] and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389]; and they are wasted [02723] and desolate [08077], as at this day [03117]. 24 44 7 Therefore now thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Wherefore commit [06213] ye this great [01419] evil [07451] against your souls [05315], to cut off [03772] from you man [0376] and woman [0802], child [05768] and suckling [03243], out [08432] of Judah [03063], to leave [03498] you none to remain [07611]; 24 44 8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath [03707] with the works [04639] of your hands [03027], burning incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], whither ye be gone [0935] to dwell [01481], that ye might cut yourselves off [03772], and that ye might be a curse [07045] and a reproach [02781] among all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776]? 24 44 9 Have ye forgotten [07911] the wickedness [07451] of your fathers [01], and the wickedness [07451] of the kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and the wickedness [07451] of their wives [0802], and your own wickedness [07451], and the wickedness [07451] of your wives [0802], which they have committed [06213] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389]? 24 44 10 They are not humbled [01792] even unto this day [03117], neither have they feared [03372], nor walked [01980] in my law [08451], nor in my statutes [02708], that I set [05414] before [06440] you and before [06440] your fathers [01]. 24 44 11 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will set [07760] my face [06440] against you for evil [07451], and to cut off [03772] all Judah [03063]. 24 44 12 And I will take [03947] the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that have set [07760] their faces [06440] to go [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, and they shall all be consumed [08552], and fall [05307] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; they shall even be consumed [08552] by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458]: they shall die [04191], from the least [06996] even unto the greatest [01419], by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458]: and they shall be an execration [0423], and an astonishment [08047], and a curse [07045], and a reproach [02781]. 24 44 13 For I will punish [06485] them that dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as I have punished [06485] Jerusalem [03389], by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]: 24 44 14 So that none of the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], which are gone [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, shall escape [06412] or remain [08300], that they should return [07725] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], to the which they have [05375] a desire [05315] to return [07725] to dwell [03427] there: for none shall return [07725] but such as shall escape [06405]. 24 44 15 Then all the men [0582] which knew [03045] that their wives [0802] had burned incense [06999] unto other [0312] gods [0430], and all the women [0802] that stood by [05975], a great [01419] multitude [06951], even all the people [05971] that dwelt [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], in Pathros [06624], answered [06030] Jeremiah [03414], saying [0559], 24 44 16 As for the word [01697] that thou hast spoken [01696] unto us in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], we will not hearken [08085] unto thee. 24 44 17 But we will certainly [06213] do [06213] whatsoever thing [01697] goeth forth [03318] out of our own mouth [06310], to burn incense [06999] unto the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and to pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her, as we have done [06213], we, and our fathers [01], our kings [04428], and our princes [08269], in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389]: for then had we plenty [07646] of victuals [03899], and were well [02896], and saw [07200] no evil [07451]. 24 44 18 But since we left off [02308] to burn incense [06999] to the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and to pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her, we have wanted [02637] all things, and have been consumed [08552] by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458]. 24 44 19 And when we burned incense [06999] to the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and poured out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her, did we make [06213] her cakes [03561] to worship [06087] her, and pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her, without [01107] our men [0582]? 24 44 20 Then Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], to the men [01397], and to the women [0802], and to all the people [05971] which had given him that answer [01697] [06030], saying [0559], 24 44 21 The incense [07002] that ye burned [06999] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389], ye, and your fathers [01], your kings [04428], and your princes [08269], and the people [05971] of the land [0776], did not the LORD [03068] remember [02142] them, and came [05927] it not into his mind [03820]? 24 44 22 So that the LORD [03068] could [03201] no longer bear [05375], because [06440] of the evil [07455] of your doings [04611], and because [06440] of the abominations [08441] which ye have committed [06213]; therefore is your land [0776] a desolation [02723], and an astonishment [08047], and a curse [07045], without an inhabitant [03427], as at this day [03117]. 24 44 23 Because [06440] [0834] ye have burned incense [06999], and because ye have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068], and have not obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], nor walked [01980] in his law [08451], nor in his statutes [02708], nor in his testimonies [05715]; therefore this evil [07451] is happened [07122] unto you, as at this day [03117]. 24 44 24 Moreover Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], and to all the women [0802], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], all Judah [03063] that are in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: 24 44 25 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], saying [0559]; Ye and your wives [0802] have both spoken [01696] with your mouths [06310], and fulfilled [04390] with your hand [03027], saying [0559], We will surely [06213] perform [06213] our vows [05088] that we have vowed [05087], to burn incense [06999] to the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and to pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her: ye will surely [06965] accomplish [06965] your vows [05088], and surely [06213] perform [06213] your vows [05088]. 24 44 26 Therefore hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], all Judah [03063] that dwell [03427] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; Behold, I have sworn [07650] by my great [01419] name [08034], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], that my name [08034] shall no more be named [07121] in the mouth [06310] of any man [0376] of Judah [03063] in all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559], The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] liveth [02416]. 24 44 27 Behold, I will watch [08245] over them for evil [07451], and not for good [02896]: and all the men [0376] of Judah [03063] that are in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall be consumed [08552] by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458], until there be an end [03615] of them. 24 44 28 Yet a small [04962] number [04557] that escape [06412] the sword [02719] shall return out [07725] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and all the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that are gone [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, shall know [03045] whose words [01697] shall stand [06965], mine, or theirs. 24 44 29 And this shall be a sign [0226] unto you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will punish [06485] you in this place [04725], that ye may know [03045] that my words [01697] shall surely [06965] stand [06965] against you for evil [07451]: 24 44 30 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will give [05414] Pharaohhophra [06548] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] into the hand [03027] of his enemies [0341], and into the hand [03027] of them that seek [01245] his life [05315]; as I gave [05414] Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063] into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], his enemy [0341], and that sought [01245] his life [05315]. 24 45 1 The word [01697] that Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] spake [01696] unto Baruch [01263] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], when he had written [03789] these words [01697] in a book [05612] at the mouth [06310] of Jeremiah [03414], in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], 24 45 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], unto thee, O Baruch [01263]; 24 45 3 Thou didst say [0559], Woe [0188] is me now! for the LORD [03068] hath added [03254] grief [03015] to my sorrow [04341]; I fainted [03021] in my sighing [0585], and I find [04672] no rest [04496]. 24 45 4 Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto him, The LORD [03068] saith [0559] thus; Behold, that which I have built [01129] will I break down [02040], and that which I have planted [05193] I will pluck up [05428], even this whole land [0776]. 24 45 5 And seekest [01245] thou great things [01419] for thyself? seek [01245] them not: for, behold, I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon all flesh [01320], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: but thy life [05315] will I give [05414] unto thee for a prey [07998] in all places [04725] whither thou goest [03212]. 24 46 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against the Gentiles [01471]; 24 46 2 Against Egypt [04714], against the army [02428] of Pharaohnecho [06549] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], which was by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578] in Carchemish [03751], which Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] smote [05221] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 24 46 3 Order [06186] ye the buckler [04043] and shield [06793], and draw near [05066] to battle [04421]. 24 46 4 Harness [0631] the horses [05483]; and get up [05927], ye horsemen [06571], and stand forth [03320] with your helmets [03553]; furbish [04838] the spears [07420], and put on [03847] the brigandines [05630]. 24 46 5 Wherefore have I seen [07200] them dismayed [02844] and turned [05472] away back [0268]? and their mighty ones [01368] are beaten down [03807], and are fled [05127] apace [04498], and look not back [06437]: for fear [04032] was round about [05439], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 46 6 Let not the swift [07031] flee away [05127], nor the mighty man [01368] escape [04422]; they shall stumble [03782], and fall [05307] toward the north [06828] by [03027] the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]. 24 46 7 Who is this that cometh up [05927] as a flood [02975], whose waters [04325] are moved [01607] as the rivers [05104]? 24 46 8 Egypt [04714] riseth up [05927] like a flood [02975], and his waters [04325] are moved [01607] like the rivers [05104]; and he saith [0559], I will go up [05927], and will cover [03680] the earth [0776]; I will destroy [06] the city [05892] and the inhabitants [03427] thereof. 24 46 9 Come up [05927], ye horses [05483]; and rage [01984], ye chariots [07393]; and let the mighty men [01368] come forth [03318]; the Ethiopians [03568] and the Libyans [06316], that handle [08610] the shield [04043]; and the Lydians [03866], that handle [08610] and bend [01869] the bow [07198]. 24 46 10 For this is the day [03117] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], a day [03117] of vengeance [05360], that he may avenge [05358] him of his adversaries [06862]: and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398], and it shall be satiate [07646] and made drunk [07301] with their blood [01818]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the north [06828] country [0776] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578]. 24 46 11 Go up [05927] into Gilead [01568], and take [03947] balm [06875], O virgin [01330], the daughter [01323] of Egypt [04714]: in vain [07723] shalt thou use many [07235] medicines [07499]; for thou shalt not be cured [08585]. 24 46 12 The nations [01471] have heard [08085] of thy shame [07036], and thy cry [06682] hath filled [04390] the land [0776]: for the mighty man [01368] hath stumbled [03782] against the mighty [01368], and they are fallen [05307] both [08147] together [03162]. 24 46 13 The word [01697] that the LORD [03068] spake [01696] to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], how Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] should come [0935] and smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 24 46 14 Declare [05046] ye in Egypt [04714], and publish [08085] in Migdol [04024], and publish [08085] in Noph [05297] and in Tahpanhes [08471]: say [0559] ye, Stand fast [03320], and prepare [03559] thee; for the sword [02719] shall devour [0398] round about [05439] thee. 24 46 15 Why are thy valiant [047] men swept away [05502]? they stood [05975] not, because the LORD [03068] did drive [01920] them. 24 46 16 He made many [07235] to fall [03782], yea, one [0376] fell [05307] upon another [07453]: and they said [0559], Arise [06965], and let us go again [07725] to our own people [05971], and to the land [0776] of our nativity [04138], from [06440] the oppressing [03238] sword [02719]. 24 46 17 They did cry [07121] there, Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714] is but a noise [07588]; he hath passed [05674] the time appointed [04150]. 24 46 18 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the King [04428], whose name [08034] is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], Surely as Tabor [08396] is among the mountains [02022], and as Carmel [03760] by the sea [03220], so shall he come [0935]. 24 46 19 O thou daughter [01323] dwelling [03427] in Egypt [04714], furnish [06213] thyself to go into captivity [03627] [01473]: for Noph [05297] shall be waste [08047] and desolate [03341] without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 46 20 Egypt [04714] is like a very fair [03304] heifer [05697], but destruction [07171] cometh [0935]; it cometh out [0935] of the north [06828]. 24 46 21 Also her hired men [07916] are in the midst [07130] of her like fatted [04770] bullocks [05695]; for they also are turned back [06437], and are fled away [05127] together [03162]: they did not stand [05975], because the day [03117] of their calamity [0343] was come [0935] upon them, and the time [06256] of their visitation [06486]. 24 46 22 The voice [06963] thereof shall go [03212] like a serpent [05175]; for they shall march [03212] with an army [02428], and come [0935] against her with axes [07134], as hewers [02404] of wood [06086]. 24 46 23 They shall cut down [03772] her forest [03293], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], though it cannot be searched [02713]; because they are more [07231] than the grasshoppers [0697], and are innumerable [0369] [04557]. 24 46 24 The daughter [01323] of Egypt [04714] shall be confounded [03001]; she shall be delivered [05414] into the hand [03027] of the people [05971] of the north [06828]. 24 46 25 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], saith [0559]; Behold, I will punish [06485] the multitude [0527] [0528] of No [04996], and Pharaoh [06547], and Egypt [04714], with their gods [0430], and their kings [04428]; even Pharaoh [06547], and all them that trust [0982] in him: 24 46 26 And I will deliver [05414] them into the hand [03027] of those that seek [01245] their lives [05315], and into the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and into the hand [03027] of his servants [05650]: and afterward [0310] it shall be inhabited [07931], as in the days [03117] of old [06924], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 46 27 But fear [03372] not thou, O my servant [05650] Jacob [03290], and be not dismayed [02865], O Israel [03478]: for, behold, I will save [03467] thee from afar off [07350], and thy seed [02233] from the land [0776] of their captivity [07628]; and Jacob [03290] shall return [07725], and be in rest [08252] and at ease [07599], and none shall make him afraid [02729]. 24 46 28 Fear [03372] thou not, O Jacob [03290] my servant [05650], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: for I am with thee; for I will make [06213] a full end [03617] of all the nations [01471] whither I have driven [05080] thee: but I will not make [06213] a full end [03617] of thee, but correct [03256] thee in measure [04941]; yet will I not leave thee wholly [05352] unpunished [05352]. 24 47 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against the Philistines [06430], before that Pharaoh [06547] smote [05221] Gaza [05804]. 24 47 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, waters [04325] rise up [05927] out of the north [06828], and shall be an overflowing [07857] flood [05158], and shall overflow [07857] the land [0776], and all that is therein [04393]; the city [05892], and them that dwell [03427] therein: then the men [0120] shall cry [02199], and all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] shall howl [03213]. 24 47 3 At the noise [06963] of the stamping [08161] of the hoofs [06541] of his strong [047] horses, at the rushing [07494] of his chariots [07393], and at the rumbling [01995] of his wheels [01534], the fathers [01] shall not look back [06437] to their children [01121] for feebleness [07510] of hands [03027]; 24 47 4 Because of the day [03117] that cometh [0935] to spoil [07703] all the Philistines [06430], and to cut off [03772] from Tyrus [06865] and Zidon [06721] every helper [05826] that remaineth [08300]: for the LORD [03068] will spoil [07703] the Philistines [06430], the remnant [07611] of the country [0339] of Caphtor [03731]. 24 47 5 Baldness [07144] is come [0935] upon Gaza [05804]; Ashkelon [0831] is cut off [01820] with the remnant [07611] of their valley [06010]: how long wilt thou cut [01413] thyself? 24 47 6 O [01945] thou sword [02719] of the LORD [03068], how long will it be ere [03808] thou be quiet [08252]? put up [0622] thyself into thy scabbard [08593], rest [07280], and be still [01826]. 24 47 7 How can it be quiet [08252], seeing the LORD [03068] hath given it a charge [06680] against Ashkelon [0831], and against the sea [03220] shore [02348]? there hath he appointed [03259] it. 24 48 1 Against Moab [04124] thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Woe [01945] unto Nebo [05015]! for it is spoiled [07703]: Kiriathaim [07156] is confounded [03001] and taken [03920]: Misgab [04869] is confounded [03001] and dismayed [02865]. 24 48 2 There shall be no more praise [08416] of Moab [04124]: in Heshbon [02809] they have devised [02803] evil [07451] against it; come [03212], and let us cut it off [03772] from being a nation [01471]. Also thou shalt be cut down [01826], O Madmen [04086]; the sword [02719] shall pursue [03212] thee [0310]. 24 48 3 A voice [06963] of crying [06818] shall be from Horonaim [02773], spoiling [07701] and great [01419] destruction [07667]. 24 48 4 Moab [04124] is destroyed [07665]; her little ones [06810] have caused a cry [02201] to be heard [08085]. 24 48 5 For in the going up [04608] of Luhith [03872] continual [01065] weeping [01065] shall go up [05927]; for in the going down [04174] of Horonaim [02773] the enemies [06862] have heard [08085] a cry [06818] of destruction [07667]. 24 48 6 Flee [05127], save [04422] your lives [05315], and be [01961] like the heath [06176] in the wilderness [04057]. 24 48 7 For because thou hast trusted [0982] in thy works [04639] and in thy treasures [0214], thou shalt also be taken [03920]: and Chemosh [03645] shall go forth [03318] into captivity [01473] with his priests [03548] and his princes [08269] together [03162]. 24 48 8 And the spoiler [07703] shall come [0935] upon every city [05892], and no city [05892] shall escape [04422]: the valley [06010] also shall perish [06], and the plain [04334] shall be destroyed [08045], as the LORD [03068] hath spoken [0559]. 24 48 9 Give [05414] wings [06731] unto Moab [04124], that it may flee [05323] and get away [03318]: for the cities [05892] thereof shall be desolate [08047], without any to dwell [03427] therein [02004]. 24 48 10 Cursed [0779] be he that doeth [06213] the work [04399] of the LORD [03068] deceitfully [07423], and cursed [0779] be he that keepeth back [04513] his sword [02719] from blood [01818]. 24 48 11 Moab [04124] hath been at ease [07599] from his youth [05271], and he hath settled [08252] on his lees [08105], and hath not been emptied [07324] from vessel [03627] to vessel [03627], neither hath he gone [01980] into captivity [01473]: therefore his taste [02940] remained [05975] in him, and his scent [07381] is not changed [04171]. 24 48 12 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will send [07971] unto him wanderers [06808], that shall cause him to wander [06808], and shall empty [07324] his vessels [03627], and break [05310] their bottles [05035]. 24 48 13 And Moab [04124] shall be ashamed [0954] of Chemosh [03645], as the house [01004] of Israel [03478] was ashamed [0954] of Bethel [01008] their confidence [04009]. 24 48 14 How say [0559] ye, We are mighty [01368] and strong [02428] men [0582] for the war [04421]? 24 48 15 Moab [04124] is spoiled [07703], and gone up [05927] out of her cities [05892], and his chosen [04005] young men [0970] are gone down [03381] to the slaughter [02874], saith [05002] the King [04428], whose name [08034] is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 24 48 16 The calamity [0343] of Moab [04124] is near [07138] to come [0935], and his affliction [07451] hasteth [04116] fast [03966]. 24 48 17 All ye that are about [05439] him, bemoan [05110] him; and all ye that know [03045] his name [08034], say [0559], How is the strong [05797] staff [04294] broken [07665], and the beautiful [08597] rod [04731]! 24 48 18 Thou daughter [01323] that dost inhabit [03427] Dibon [01769], come down [03381] from thy glory [03519], and sit [03427] in thirst [06772]; for the spoiler [07703] of Moab [04124] shall come [05927] upon thee, and he shall destroy [07843] thy strong holds [04013]. 24 48 19 O inhabitant [03427] of Aroer [06177], stand [05975] by the way [01870], and espy [06822]; ask [07592] him that fleeth [05127], and her that escapeth [04422], and say [0559], What is done [01961]? 24 48 20 Moab [04124] is confounded [03001]; for it is broken down [02865]: howl [03213] and cry [02199]; tell [05046] ye it in Arnon [0769], that Moab [04124] is spoiled [07703], 24 48 21 And judgment [04941] is come [0935] upon the plain [04334] country [0776]; upon Holon [02473], and upon Jahazah [03096], and upon Mephaath [04158], 24 48 22 And upon Dibon [01769], and upon Nebo [05015], and upon Bethdiblathaim [01015], 24 48 23 And upon Kiriathaim [07156], and upon Bethgamul [01014], and upon Bethmeon [01010], 24 48 24 And upon Kerioth [07152], and upon Bozrah [01224], and upon all the cities [05892] of the land [0776] of Moab [04124], far [07350] or near [07138]. 24 48 25 The horn [07161] of Moab [04124] is cut off [01438], and his arm [02220] is broken [07665], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 48 26 Make ye him drunken [07937]: for he magnified [01431] himself against the LORD [03068]: Moab [04124] also shall wallow [05606] in his vomit [06892], and he also shall be in derision [07814]. 24 48 27 For was not Israel [03478] a derision [07814] unto thee? was he found [04672] among thieves [01590]? for since [01767] thou spakest [01697] of him, thou skippedst [05110] for joy. 24 48 28 O ye that dwell [03427] in Moab [04124], leave [05800] the cities [05892], and dwell [07931] in the rock [05553], and be like the dove [03123] that maketh her nest [07077] in the sides [05676] of the hole's [06354] mouth [06310]. 24 48 29 We have heard [08085] the pride [01347] of Moab [04124], (he is exceeding [03966] proud [01343]) his loftiness [01363], and his arrogancy [01346], and his pride [01347], and the haughtiness [07312] of his heart [03820]. 24 48 30 I know [03045] his wrath [05678], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; but it shall not be so; his lies [0907] shall not so effect [06213] it. 24 48 31 Therefore will I howl [03213] for Moab [04124], and I will cry out [02199] for all Moab [04124]; mine heart shall mourn [01897] for the men [0582] of Kirheres [07025]. 24 48 32 O vine [01612] of Sibmah [07643], I will weep [01058] for thee with the weeping [01065] of Jazer [03270]: thy plants [05189] are gone over [05674] the sea [03220], they reach [05060] even to the sea [03220] of Jazer [03270]: the spoiler [07703] is fallen [05307] upon thy summer fruits [07019] and upon thy vintage [01210]. 24 48 33 And joy [08057] and gladness [01524] is taken [0622] from the plentiful field [03759], and from the land [0776] of Moab [04124]; and I have caused wine [03196] to fail [07673] from the winepresses [03342]: none shall tread [01869] with shouting [01959]; their shouting [01959] shall be no shouting [01959]. 24 48 34 From the cry [02201] of Heshbon [02809] even unto Elealeh [0500], and even unto Jahaz [03096], have they uttered [05414] their voice [06963], from Zoar [06820] even unto Horonaim [02773], as an heifer [05697] of three years old [07992]: for the waters [04325] also of Nimrim [05249] shall be desolate [04923]. 24 48 35 Moreover I will cause to cease [07673] in Moab [04124], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], him that offereth [05927] in the high places [01116], and him that burneth incense [06999] to his gods [0430]. 24 48 36 Therefore mine heart [03820] shall sound [01993] for Moab [04124] like pipes [02485], and mine heart [03820] shall sound [01993] like pipes [02485] for the men [0582] of Kirheres [07025]: because the riches [03502] that he hath gotten [06213] are perished [06]. 24 48 37 For every head [07218] shall be bald [07144], and every beard [02206] clipped [01639]: upon all the hands [03027] shall be cuttings [01417], and upon the loins [04975] sackcloth [08242]. 24 48 38 There shall be lamentation [04553] generally upon all the housetops [01406] of Moab [04124], and in the streets [07339] thereof: for I have broken [07665] Moab [04124] like a vessel [03627] wherein is no pleasure [02656], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 48 39 They shall howl [03213], saying, How is it broken down [02865] ! how hath Moab [04124] turned [06437] the back [06203] with shame [0954] ! so shall Moab [04124] be a derision [07814] and a dismaying [04288] to all them about [05439] him. 24 48 40 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, he shall fly [01675] as an eagle [05404], and shall spread [06566] his wings [03671] over Moab [04124]. 24 48 41 Kerioth [07152] is taken [03920], and the strong holds [04679] are surprised [08610], and the mighty men's [01368] hearts [03820] in Moab [04124] at that day [03117] shall be as the heart [03820] of a woman [0802] in her pangs [06887]. 24 48 42 And Moab [04124] shall be destroyed [08045] from being a people [05971], because he hath magnified [01431] himself against the LORD [03068]. 24 48 43 Fear [06343], and the pit [06354], and the snare [06341], shall be upon thee, O inhabitant [03427] of Moab [04124], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 48 44 He that fleeth [05127] [05211] from [06440] the fear [06343] shall fall [05307] into the pit [06354]; and he that getteth up [05927] out of the pit [06354] shall be taken [03920] in the snare [06341]: for I will bring [0935] upon it, even upon Moab [04124], the year [08141] of their visitation [06486], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 48 45 They that fled [05127] stood [05975] under the shadow [06738] of Heshbon [02809] because of the force [03581]: but a fire [0784] shall come forth [03318] out of Heshbon [02809], and a flame [03852] from the midst [0996] of Sihon [05511], and shall devour [0398] the corner [06285] of Moab [04124], and the crown of the head [06936] of the tumultuous [07588] ones [01121]. 24 48 46 Woe [0188] be unto thee, O Moab [04124]! the people [05971] of Chemosh [03645] perisheth [06]: for thy sons [01121] are taken [03947] captives [07628], and thy daughters [01323] captives [07633]. 24 48 47 Yet will I bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of Moab [04124] in the latter [0319] days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Thus far [02008] is the judgment [04941] of Moab [04124]. 24 49 1 Concerning the Ammonites [01121] [05983], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Hath Israel [03478] no sons [01121]? hath he no heir [03423]? why then doth their king [04428] inherit [03423] Gad [01410], and his people [05971] dwell [03427] in his cities [05892]? 24 49 2 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], that I will cause an alarm [08643] of war [04421] to be heard [08085] in Rabbah [07237] of the Ammonites [01121] [05983]; and it shall be a desolate [08077] heap [08510], and her daughters [01323] shall be burned [03341] with fire [0784]: then shall Israel [03478] be heir [03423] unto them that were his heirs [03423], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 49 3 Howl [03213], O Heshbon [02809], for Ai [05857] is spoiled [07703]: cry [06817], ye daughters [01323] of Rabbah [07237], gird [02296] you with sackcloth [08242]; lament [05594], and run to and fro [07751] by the hedges [01448]; for their king [04428] shall go [03212] into captivity [01473], and his priests [03548] and his princes [08269] together [03162]. 24 49 4 Wherefore gloriest [01984] thou in the valleys [06010], thy flowing [02100] valley [06010], O backsliding [07728] daughter [01323]? that trusted [0982] in her treasures [0214], saying, Who shall come [0935] unto me? 24 49 5 Behold, I will bring [0935] a fear [06343] upon thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], from all those that be about [05439] thee; and ye shall be driven out [05080] every man [0376] right forth [06440]; and none shall gather up [06908] him that wandereth [05074]. 24 49 6 And afterward [0310] I will bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 49 7 Concerning Edom [0123], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Is wisdom [02451] no more in Teman [08487]? is counsel [06098] perished [06] from the prudent [0995]? is their wisdom [02451] vanished [05628]? 24 49 8 Flee [05127] ye, turn back [06437], dwell [03427] deep [06009], O inhabitants [03427] of Dedan [01719]; for I will bring [0935] the calamity [0343] of Esau [06215] upon him, the time [06256] that I will visit [06485] him. 24 49 9 If grapegatherers [01219] come [0935] to thee, would they not leave [07604] some gleaning grapes [05955]? if thieves [01590] by night [03915], they will destroy [07843] till they have enough [01767]. 24 49 10 But I have made Esau [06215] bare [02834], I have uncovered [01540] his secret places [04565], and he shall not be able [03201] to hide [02247] himself: his seed [02233] is spoiled [07703], and his brethren [0251], and his neighbours [07934], and he is not. 24 49 11 Leave [05800] thy fatherless children [03490], I will preserve them alive [02421]; and let thy widows [0490] trust [0982] in me. 24 49 12 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, they whose judgment [04941] was not to drink [08354] of the cup [03563] have assuredly [08354] drunken [08354]; and art thou he that shall altogether [05352] go unpunished [05352]? thou shalt not go unpunished [05352], but thou shalt surely [08354] drink [08354] of it. 24 49 13 For I have sworn [07650] by myself, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that Bozrah [01224] shall become a desolation [08047], a reproach [02781], a waste [02721], and a curse [07045]; and all the cities [05892] thereof shall be perpetual [05769] wastes [02723]. 24 49 14 I have heard [08085] a rumour [08052] from the LORD [03068], and an ambassador [06735] is sent [07971] unto the heathen [01471], saying, Gather ye together [06908], and come [0935] against her, and rise up [06965] to the battle [04421]. 24 49 15 For, lo, I will make [05414] thee small [06996] among the heathen [01471], and despised [0959] among men [0120]. 24 49 16 Thy terribleness [08606] hath deceived [05377] thee, and the pride [02087] of thine heart [03820], O thou that dwellest [07931] in the clefts [02288] of the rock [05553], that holdest [08610] the height [04791] of the hill [01389]: though thou shouldest make thy nest [07064] as high [01361] as the eagle [05404], I will bring thee down [03381] from thence, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 49 17 Also Edom [0123] shall be a desolation [08047]: every one that goeth [05674] by it shall be astonished [08074], and shall hiss [08319] at all the plagues [04347] thereof. 24 49 18 As in the overthrow [04114] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] and the neighbour [07934] cities thereof, saith [0559] the LORD [03068], no man [0376] shall abide [03427] there, neither shall a son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] in it. 24 49 19 Behold, he shall come up [05927] like a lion [0738] from the swelling [01347] of Jordan [03383] against the habitation [05116] of the strong [0386]: but I will suddenly [07280] make him run away [07323] from her: and who is a chosen [0977] man, that I may appoint [06485] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time [03259]? and who is that shepherd [07462] that will stand [05975] before [06440] me? 24 49 20 Therefore hear [08085] the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068], that he hath taken [03289] against Edom [0123]; and his purposes [04284], that he hath purposed [02803] against the inhabitants [03427] of Teman [08487]: Surely the least [06810] of the flock [06629] shall draw them out [05498]: surely he shall make their habitations [05116] desolate [08074] with them. 24 49 21 The earth [0776] is moved [07493] at the noise [06963] of their fall [05307], at the cry [06818] the noise [06963] thereof was heard [08085] in the Red [05488] sea [03220]. 24 49 22 Behold, he shall come up [05927] and fly [01675] as the eagle [05404], and spread [06566] his wings [03671] over Bozrah [01224]: and at that day [03117] shall the heart [03820] of the mighty men [01368] of Edom [0123] be as the heart [03820] of a woman [0802] in her pangs [06887]. 24 49 23 Concerning Damascus [01834]. Hamath [02574] is confounded [0954], and Arpad [0774]: for they have heard [08085] evil [07451] tidings [08052]: they are fainthearted [04127]; there is sorrow [01674] on the sea [03220]; it cannot [03201] be quiet [08252]. 24 49 24 Damascus [01834] is waxed feeble [07503], and turneth [06437] herself to flee [05127], and fear [07374] hath seized [02388] on her: anguish [06869] and sorrows [02256] have taken [0270] her, as a woman in travail [03205]. 24 49 25 How is the city [05892] of praise [08416] not left [05800], the city [07151] of my joy [04885]! 24 49 26 Therefore her young men [0970] shall fall [05307] in her streets [07339], and all the men [0582] of war [04421] shall be cut off [01826] in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 24 49 27 And I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the wall [02346] of Damascus [01834], and it shall consume [0398] the palaces [0759] of Benhadad [01130]. 24 49 28 Concerning Kedar [06938], and concerning the kingdoms [04467] of Hazor [02674], which Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall smite [05221], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Arise [06965] ye, go up [05927] to Kedar [06938], and spoil [07703] the men [01121] of the east [06924]. 24 49 29 Their tents [0168] and their flocks [06629] shall they take away [03947]: they shall take [05375] to themselves their curtains [03407], and all their vessels [03627], and their camels [01581]; and they shall cry [07121] unto them, Fear [04032] is on every side [05439]. 24 49 30 Flee [05127], get [05110] you far off [03966], dwell [03427] deep [06009], O ye inhabitants [03427] of Hazor [02674], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; for Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath taken counsel [06098] [03289] against you, and hath conceived [02803] a purpose [04284] against you. 24 49 31 Arise [06965], get you up [05927] unto the wealthy [07961] nation [01471], that dwelleth [03427] without care [0983], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which have neither gates [01817] nor bars [01280], which dwell [07931] alone [0910]. 24 49 32 And their camels [01581] shall be a booty [0957], and the multitude [01995] of their cattle [04735] a spoil [07998]: and I will scatter [02219] into all winds [07307] them that are in the utmost [07112] corners [06285]; and I will bring [0935] their calamity [0343] from all sides [05676] thereof, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 49 33 And Hazor [02674] shall be a dwelling [04583] for dragons [08577], and a desolation [08077] for [05704] ever [05769]: there shall no man [0376] abide [03427] there, nor any son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] in it. 24 49 34 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] against Elam [05867] in the beginning [07225] of the reign [04438] of Zedekiah [06667] king [04428] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], 24 49 35 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Behold, I will break [07665] the bow [07198] of Elam [05867], the chief [07225] of their might [01369]. 24 49 36 And upon Elam [05867] will I bring [0935] the four [0702] winds [07307] from the four [0702] quarters [07098] of heaven [08064], and will scatter [02219] them toward all those winds [07307]; and there shall be no nation [01471] whither the outcasts [05080] of Elam [05867] [05769] shall not come [0935]. 24 49 37 For I will cause Elam [05867] to be dismayed [02865] before [06440] their enemies [0341], and before [06440] them that seek [01245] their life [05315]: and I will bring [0935] evil [07451] upon them, even my fierce [02740] anger [0639], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will send [07971] the sword [02719] after [0310] them, till I have consumed [03615] them: 24 49 38 And I will set [07760] my throne [03678] in Elam [05867], and will destroy [06] from thence the king [04428] and the princes [08269], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 49 39 But it shall come to pass in the latter [0319] days [03117], that I will bring again [07725] [07725] the captivity [07622] [07622] of Elam [05867], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 50 1 The word [01697] that the LORD [03068] spake [01696] against Babylon [0894] and against the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778] by [03027] Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030]. 24 50 2 Declare [05046] ye among the nations [01471], and publish [08085], and set up [05375] a standard [05251]; publish [08085], and conceal [03582] not: say [0559], Babylon [0894] is taken [03920], Bel [01078] is confounded [03001], Merodach [04781] is broken in pieces [02865]; her idols [06091] are confounded [03001], her images [01544] are broken in pieces [02865]. 24 50 3 For out of the north [06828] there cometh up [05927] a nation [01471] against her, which shall make [07896] her land [0776] desolate [08047], and none shall dwell [03427] therein: they shall remove [05110], they shall depart [01980], both man [0120] and beast [0929]. 24 50 4 In those days [03117], and in that time [06256], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall come [0935], they and the children [01121] of Judah [03063] together [03162], going [01980] and weeping [01058]: they shall go [03212], and seek [01245] the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 24 50 5 They shall ask [07592] the way [01870] to Zion [06726] with their faces [06440] thitherward [02008], saying, Come [0935], and let us join [03867] ourselves to the LORD [03068] in a perpetual [05769] covenant [01285] that shall not be forgotten [07911]. 24 50 6 My people [05971] hath been lost [06] sheep [06629]: their shepherds [07462] have caused them to go astray [08582], they have turned them away [07725] [07726] on the mountains [02022]: they have gone [01980] from mountain [02022] to hill [01389], they have forgotten [07911] their restingplace [07258]. 24 50 7 All that found [04672] them have devoured [0398] them: and their adversaries [06862] said [0559], We offend [0816] not, because they have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068], the habitation [05116] of justice [06664], even the LORD [03068], the hope [04723] of their fathers [01]. 24 50 8 Remove [05110] out of the midst [08432] of Babylon [0894], and go forth [03318] [03318] out of the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778], and be as the he goats [06260] before [06440] the flocks [06629]. 24 50 9 For, lo, I will raise [05782] and cause to come up [05927] against Babylon [0894] an assembly [06951] of great [01419] nations [01471] from the north [06828] country [0776]: and they shall set themselves in array [06186] against her; from thence she shall be taken [03920]: their arrows [02671] shall be as of a mighty [01368] expert man [07919] [07921]; none shall return [07725] in vain [07387]. 24 50 10 And Chaldea [03778] shall be a spoil [07998]: all that spoil [07997] her shall be satisfied [07646], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 50 11 Because ye were glad [08055], because ye rejoiced [05937], O ye destroyers [08154] of mine heritage [05159], because ye are grown fat [06335] as the heifer [05697] at grass [01877] [01758], and bellow [06670] as bulls [047]; 24 50 12 Your mother [0517] shall be sore [03966] confounded [0954]; she that bare [03205] you shall be ashamed [02659]: behold, the hindermost [0319] of the nations [01471] shall be a wilderness [04057], a dry land [06723], and a desert [06160]. 24 50 13 Because of the wrath [07110] of the LORD [03068] it shall not be inhabited [03427], but it shall be wholly desolate [08077]: every one that goeth [05674] by Babylon [0894] shall be astonished [08074], and hiss [08319] at all her plagues [04347]. 24 50 14 Put yourselves in array [06186] against Babylon [0894] round about [05439]: all ye that bend [01869] the bow [07198], shoot [03034] at her, spare [02550] no arrows [02671]: for she hath sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]. 24 50 15 Shout [07321] against her round about [05439]: she hath given [05414] her hand [03027]: her foundations [0803] are fallen [05307], her walls [02346] are thrown down [02040]: for it is the vengeance [05360] of the LORD [03068]: take vengeance [05358] upon her; as she hath done [06213], do [06213] unto her. 24 50 16 Cut off [03772] the sower [02232] from Babylon [0894], and him that handleth [08610] the sickle [04038] in the time [06256] of harvest [07105]: for fear [06440] of the oppressing [03238] sword [02719] they shall turn [06437] every one [0376] to his people [05971], and they shall flee [05127] every one [0376] to his own land [0776]. 24 50 17 Israel [03478] is a scattered [06340] sheep [07716]; the lions [0738] have driven him away [05080]: first [07223] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] hath devoured [0398] him; and last [0314] this Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath broken his bones [06105]. 24 50 18 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will punish [06485] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] and his land [0776], as I have punished [06485] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804]. 24 50 19 And I will bring [07725] Israel [03478] again [07725] to his habitation [05116], and he shall feed [07462] on Carmel [03760] and Bashan [01316], and his soul [05315] shall be satisfied [07646] upon mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] and Gilead [01568]. 24 50 20 In those days [03117], and in that time [06256], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], the iniquity [05771] of Israel [03478] shall be sought for [01245], and there shall be none; and the sins [02403] of Judah [03063], and they shall not be found [04672]: for I will pardon [05545] them whom I reserve [07604]. 24 50 21 Go up [05927] against the land [0776] of Merathaim [04850], even against it, and against the inhabitants [03427] of Pekod [06489]: waste [02717] and utterly destroy [02763] after [0310] them, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and do [06213] according to all that I have commanded [06680] thee. 24 50 22 A sound [06963] of battle [04421] is in the land [0776], and of great [01419] destruction [07667]. 24 50 23 How is the hammer [06360] of the whole earth [0776] cut asunder [01438] and broken [07665] ! how is Babylon [0894] become a desolation [08047] among the nations [01471]! 24 50 24 I have laid a snare [03369] for thee, and thou art also taken [03920], O Babylon [0894], and thou wast not aware [03045]: thou art found [04672], and also caught [08610], because thou hast striven [01624] against the LORD [03068]. 24 50 25 The LORD [03068] hath opened [06605] his armoury [0214], and hath brought forth [03318] the weapons [03627] of his indignation [02195]: for this is the work [04399] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] in the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]. 24 50 26 Come [0935] against her from the utmost border [07093], open [06605] her storehouses [03965]: cast her up [05549] as heaps [06194], and destroy her utterly [02763]: let nothing of her be left [07611]. 24 50 27 Slay [02717] all her bullocks [06499]; let them go down [03381] to the slaughter [02874]: woe [01945] unto them! for their day [03117] is come [0935], the time [06256] of their visitation [06486]. 24 50 28 The voice [06963] of them that flee [05127] and escape out [06405] of the land [0776] of Babylon [0894], to declare [05046] in Zion [06726] the vengeance [05360] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], the vengeance [05360] of his temple [01964]. 24 50 29 Call together [08085] the archers [07228] against Babylon [0894]: all ye that bend [01869] the bow [07198], camp [02583] against it round about [05439]; let none thereof escape [06413]: recompense [07999] her according to her work [06467]; according to all that she hath done [06213], do [06213] unto her: for she hath been proud [02102] against the LORD [03068], against the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 24 50 30 Therefore shall her young men [0970] fall [05307] in the streets [07339], and all her men [0582] of war [04421] shall be cut off [01826] in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 50 31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud [02087], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635]: for thy day [03117] is come [0935], the time [06256] that I will visit [06485] thee. 24 50 32 And the most proud [02087] shall stumble [03782] and fall [05307], and none shall raise him up [06965]: and I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in his cities [05892], and it shall devour [0398] all round about [05439] him. 24 50 33 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; The children [01121] of Israel [03478] and the children [01121] of Judah [03063] were oppressed [06231] together [03162]: and all that took them captives [07617] held them fast [02388]; they refused [03985] to let them go [07971]. 24 50 34 Their Redeemer [01350] is strong [02389]; the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]: he shall throughly [07378] plead [07378] their cause [07379], that he may give rest [07280] to the land [0776], and disquiet [07264] the inhabitants [03427] of Babylon [0894]. 24 50 35 A sword [02719] is upon the Chaldeans [03778], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and upon the inhabitants [03427] of Babylon [0894], and upon her princes [08269], and upon her wise [02450] men. 24 50 36 A sword [02719] is upon the liars [0907]; and they shall dote [02973]: a sword [02719] is upon her mighty men [01368]; and they shall be dismayed [02865]. 24 50 37 A sword [02719] is upon their horses [05483], and upon their chariots [07393], and upon all the mingled people [06153] that are in the midst [08432] of her; and they shall become as women [0802]: a sword [02719] is upon her treasures [0214]; and they shall be robbed [0962]. 24 50 38 A drought [02721] is upon her waters [04325]; and they shall be dried up [03001]: for it is the land [0776] of graven images [06456], and they are mad [01984] upon their idols [0367]. 24 50 39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert [06728] with the wild beasts of the islands [0338] shall dwell [03427] there, and the owls [01323] [03284] shall dwell [03427] therein: and it shall be no more inhabited [03427] for ever [05331]; neither shall it be dwelt [07931] in from generation [01755] to generation [01755]. 24 50 40 As God [0430] overthrew [04114] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] and the neighbour [07934] cities thereof, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; so shall no man [0376] abide [03427] there, neither shall any son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] therein. 24 50 41 Behold, a people [05971] shall come [0935] from the north [06828], and a great [01419] nation [01471], and many [07227] kings [04428] shall be raised up [05782] from the coasts [03411] of the earth [0776]. 24 50 42 They shall hold [02388] the bow [07198] and the lance [03591]: they are cruel [0394], and will not shew mercy [07355]: their voice [06963] shall roar [01993] like the sea [03220], and they shall ride [07392] upon horses [05483], every one put in array [06186], like a man [0376] to the battle [04421], against thee, O daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894]. 24 50 43 The king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath heard [08085] the report [08088] of them, and his hands [03027] waxed feeble [07503]: anguish [06869] took hold [02388] of him, and pangs [02427] as of a woman in travail [03205]. 24 50 44 Behold, he shall come up [05927] like a lion [0738] from the swelling [01347] of Jordan [03383] unto the habitation [05116] of the strong [0386]: but I will make [07323] them suddenly [07280] run away [07323] [07323] from her: and who is a chosen [0977] man, that I may appoint [06485] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time [03259]? and who is that shepherd [07462] that will stand [05975] before [06440] me? 24 50 45 Therefore hear [08085] ye the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068], that he hath taken [03289] against Babylon [0894]; and his purposes [04284], that he hath purposed [02803] against the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]: Surely the least [06810] of the flock [06629] shall draw them out [05498]: surely he shall make their habitation [05116] desolate [08074] with them. 24 50 46 At the noise [06963] of the taking [08610] of Babylon [0894] the earth [0776] is moved [07493], and the cry [02201] is heard [08085] among the nations [01471]. 24 51 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will raise up [05782] against Babylon [0894], and against them that dwell [03427] in the midst [03820] of them that rise up [06965] against me, a destroying [07843] wind [07307]; 24 51 2 And will send [07971] unto Babylon [0894] fanners [02114], that shall fan [02219] her, and shall empty [01238] her land [0776]: for in the day [03117] of trouble [07451] they shall be against her round about [05439]. 24 51 3 Against him that bendeth [01869] let the archer [01869] bend [01869] his bow [07198], and against him that lifteth himself up [05927] in his brigandine [05630]: and spare [02550] ye not her young men [0970]; destroy ye utterly [02763] all her host [06635]. 24 51 4 Thus the slain [02491] shall fall [05307] in the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778], and they that are thrust through [01856] in her streets [02351]. 24 51 5 For Israel [03478] hath not been forsaken [0488], nor Judah [03063] of his God [0430], of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; though their land [0776] was filled [04390] with sin [0817] against the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478]. 24 51 6 Flee out [05127] of the midst [08432] of Babylon [0894], and deliver [04422] every man [0376] his soul [05315]: be not cut off [01826] in her iniquity [05771]; for this is the time [06256] of the LORD'S [03068] vengeance [05360]; he will render [07999] unto her a recompence [01576]. 24 51 7 Babylon [0894] hath been a golden [02091] cup [03563] in the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027], that made all the earth [0776] drunken [07937]: the nations [01471] have drunken [08354] of her wine [03196]; therefore the nations [01471] are mad [01984]. 24 51 8 Babylon [0894] is suddenly [06597] fallen [05307] and destroyed [07665]: howl [03213] for her; take [03947] balm [06875] for her pain [04341], if so be she may be healed [07495]. 24 51 9 We would have healed [07495] Babylon [0894], but she is not healed [07495]: forsake [05800] her, and let us go [03212] every one [0376] into his own country [0776]: for her judgment [04941] reacheth [05060] unto heaven [08064], and is lifted up [05375] even to the skies [07834]. 24 51 10 The LORD [03068] hath brought forth [03318] our righteousness [06666]: come [0935], and let us declare [05608] in Zion [06726] the work [04639] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430]. 24 51 11 Make bright [01305] the arrows [02671]; gather [04390] the shields [07982]: the LORD [03068] hath raised up [05782] the spirit [07307] of the kings [04428] of the Medes [04074]: for his device [04209] is against Babylon [0894], to destroy [07843] it; because it is the vengeance [05360] of the LORD [03068], the vengeance [05360] of his temple [01964]. 24 51 12 Set up [05375] the standard [05251] upon the walls [02346] of Babylon [0894], make the watch [04929] strong [02388], set up [06965] the watchmen [08104], prepare [03559] the ambushes [0693]: for the LORD [03068] hath both devised [02161] and done [06213] that which he spake [01696] against the inhabitants [03427] of Babylon [0894]. 24 51 13 O thou that dwellest [07931] [07931] upon many [07227] waters [04325], abundant [07227] in treasures [0214], thine end [07093] is come [0935], and the measure [0520] of thy covetousness [01215]. 24 51 14 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sworn [07650] by himself [05315], saying, Surely I will fill [04390] thee with men [0120], as with caterpillers [03218]; and they shall lift up [06030] a shout [01959] against thee. 24 51 15 He hath made [06213] the earth [0776] by his power [03581], he hath established [03559] the world [08398] by his wisdom [02451], and hath stretched out [05186] the heaven [08064] by his understanding [08394]. 24 51 16 When he uttereth [05414] his voice [06963], there is a multitude [01995] of waters [04325] in the heavens [08064]; and he causeth the vapours [05387] to ascend [05927] from the ends [07097] of the earth [0776]: he maketh [06213] lightnings [01300] with rain [04306], and bringeth forth [03318] the wind [07307] out of his treasures [0214]. 24 51 17 Every man [0120] is brutish [01197] by his knowledge [01847]; every founder [06884] is confounded [03001] by the graven image [06459]: for his molten image [05262] is falsehood [08267], and there is no breath [07307] in them. 24 51 18 They are vanity [01892], the work [04639] of errors [08595]: in the time [06256] of their visitation [06486] they shall perish [06]. 24 51 19 The portion [02506] of Jacob [03290] is not like them; for he is the former [03335] of all things: and Israel is the rod [07626] of his inheritance [05159]: the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] is his name [08034]. 24 51 20 Thou art my battle axe [04661] and weapons [03627] of war [04421]: for with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the nations [01471], and with thee will I destroy [07843] kingdoms [04467]; 24 51 21 And with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the horse [05483] and his rider [07392]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the chariot [07393] and his rider [07392]; 24 51 22 With thee also will I break in pieces [05310] man [0376] and woman [0802]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] old [02205] and young [05288]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the young man [0970] and the maid [01330]; 24 51 23 I will also break in pieces [05310] with thee the shepherd [07462] and his flock [05739]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the husbandman [0406] and his yoke of oxen [06776]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] captains [06346] and rulers [05461]. 24 51 24 And I will render [07999] unto Babylon [0894] and to all the inhabitants [03427] of Chaldea [03778] all their evil [07451] that they have done [06213] in Zion [06726] in your sight [05869], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 51 25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying [04889] mountain [02022], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which destroyest [07843] all the earth [0776]: and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon thee, and roll thee down [01556] from the rocks [05553], and will make [05414] thee a burnt [08316] mountain [02022]. 24 51 26 And they shall not take [03947] of thee a stone [068] for a corner [06438], nor a stone [068] for foundations [04146]; but thou shalt be desolate [08077] for ever [05769], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 51 27 Set ye up [05375] a standard [05251] in the land [0776], blow [08628] the trumpet [07782] among the nations [01471], prepare [06942] the nations [01471] against her, call together [08085] against her the kingdoms [04467] of Ararat [0780], Minni [04508], and Ashchenaz [0813]; appoint [06485] a captain [02951] against her; cause the horses [05483] to come up [05927] as the rough [05569] caterpillers [03218]. 24 51 28 Prepare [06942] against her the nations [01471] with the kings [04428] of the Medes [04074], the captains [06346] thereof, and all the rulers [05461] thereof, and all the land [0776] of his dominion [04475]. 24 51 29 And the land [0776] shall tremble [07493] and sorrow [02342]: for every purpose [04284] of the LORD [03068] shall be performed [06965] against Babylon [0894], to make [07760] the land [0776] of Babylon [0894] a desolation [08047] without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 51 30 The mighty men [01368] of Babylon [0894] have forborn [02308] to fight [03898], they have remained [03427] in their holds [04679]: their might [01369] hath failed [05405]; they became as women [0802]: they have burned [03341] her dwellingplaces [04908]; her bars [01280] are broken [07665]. 24 51 31 One post [07323] shall run [07323] to meet [07125] another [07323], and one messenger [05046] to meet [07125] another [05046], to shew [05046] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] that his city [05892] is taken [03920] at one end [07097], 24 51 32 And that the passages [04569] are stopped [08610], and the reeds [098] they have burned [08313] with fire [0784], and the men [0582] of war [04421] are affrighted [0926]. 24 51 33 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; The daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894] is like a threshingfloor [01637], it is time [06256] to thresh [01869] her: yet a little while [04592], and the time [06256] of her harvest [07105] shall come [0935]. 24 51 34 Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath devoured [0398] me, he hath crushed [02000] me, he hath made [03322] me an empty [07385] vessel [03627], he hath swallowed me up [01104] like a dragon [08577], he hath filled [04390] his belly [03770] with my delicates [05730], he hath cast me out [01740]. 24 51 35 The violence [02555] done to me and to my flesh [07607] be upon Babylon [0894], shall the inhabitant [03427] of Zion [06726] say [0559]; and my blood [01818] upon the inhabitants [03427] of Chaldea [03778], shall Jerusalem [03389] say [0559]. 24 51 36 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I will plead [07378] thy cause [07379], and take vengeance [05358] for thee [05360]; and I will dry up [02717] her sea [03220], and make her springs [04726] dry [03001]. 24 51 37 And Babylon [0894] shall become heaps [01530], a dwellingplace [04583] for dragons [08577], an astonishment [08047], and an hissing [08322], without an inhabitant [03427]. 24 51 38 They shall roar [07580] together [03162] like lions [03715]: they shall yell [05286] as lions [0738]' whelps [01484]. 24 51 39 In their heat [02527] I will make [07896] their feasts [04960], and I will make them drunken [07937], that they may rejoice [05937], and sleep [03462] a perpetual [05769] sleep [08142], and not wake [06974], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 51 40 I will bring them down [03381] like lambs [03733] to the slaughter [02873], like rams [0352] with he goats [06260]. 24 51 41 How is Sheshach [08347] taken [03920] ! and how is the praise [08416] of the whole earth [0776] surprised [08610] ! how is Babylon [0894] become an astonishment [08047] among the nations [01471]! 24 51 42 The sea [03220] is come up [05927] upon Babylon [0894]: she is covered [03680] with the multitude [01995] of the waves [01530] thereof. 24 51 43 Her cities [05892] are a desolation [08047], a dry [06723] land [0776], and a wilderness [06160], a land [0776] wherein no man [0376] dwelleth [03427], neither doth any son [01121] of man [0120] pass [05674] thereby [02004]. 24 51 44 And I will punish [06485] Bel [01078] in Babylon [0894], and I will bring forth [03318] out of his mouth [06310] that which he hath swallowed up [01105]: and the nations [01471] shall not flow together [05102] any more unto him: yea, the wall [02346] of Babylon [0894] shall fall [05307]. 24 51 45 My people [05971], go ye out [03318] of the midst [08432] of her, and deliver [04422] ye every man [0376] his soul [05315] from the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068]. 24 51 46 And lest your heart [03824] faint [07401], and ye fear [03372] for the rumour [08052] that shall be heard [08085] in the land [0776]; a rumour [08052] shall both come [0935] one year [08141], and after [0310] that in another year [08141] shall come a rumour [08052], and violence [02555] in the land [0776], ruler [04910] against ruler [04910]. 24 51 47 Therefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], that I will do judgment [06485] upon the graven images [06456] of Babylon [0894]: and her whole land [0776] shall be confounded [0954], and all her slain [02491] shall fall [05307] in the midst [08432] of her. 24 51 48 Then the heaven [08064] and the earth [0776], and all that is therein, shall sing [07442] for Babylon [0894]: for the spoilers [07703] shall come [0935] unto her from the north [06828], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 51 49 As [01571] Babylon [0894] hath caused the slain [02491] of Israel [03478] to fall [05307], so at Babylon [0894] shall fall [05307] the slain [02491] of all the earth [0776]. 24 51 50 Ye that have escaped [06405] the sword [02719], go away [01980], stand not still [05975]: remember [02142] the LORD [03068] afar off [07350], and let Jerusalem [03389] come [05927] into your mind [03824]. 24 51 51 We are confounded [0954], because we have heard [08085] reproach [02781]: shame [03639] hath covered [03680] our faces [06440]: for strangers [02114] are come [0935] into the sanctuaries [04720] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]. 24 51 52 Wherefore, behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will do judgment [06485] upon her graven images [06456]: and through all her land [0776] the wounded [02491] shall groan [0602]. 24 51 53 Though Babylon [0894] should mount up [05927] to heaven [08064], and though she should fortify [01219] the height [04791] of her strength [05797], yet [0227] from me shall spoilers [07703] come [0935] unto her, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 24 51 54 A sound [06963] of a cry [02201] cometh from Babylon [0894], and great [01419] destruction [07667] from the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]: 24 51 55 Because the LORD [03068] hath spoiled [07703] Babylon [0894], and destroyed [06] out of her the great [01419] voice [06963]; when her waves [01530] do roar [01993] like great [07227] waters [04325], a noise [07588] of their voice [06963] is uttered [05414]: 24 51 56 Because the spoiler [07703] is come [0935] upon her, even upon Babylon [0894], and her mighty men [01368] are taken [03920], every one of their bows [07198] is broken [02865]: for the LORD [03068] God [0410] of recompences [01578] shall surely [07999] requite [07999]. 24 51 57 And I will make drunk [07937] her princes [08269], and her wise [02450] men, her captains [06346], and her rulers [05461], and her mighty men [01368]: and they shall sleep [03462] a perpetual [05769] sleep [08142], and not wake [06974], saith [05002] the King [04428], whose name [08034] is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 24 51 58 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; The broad [07342] walls [02346] of Babylon [0894] shall be utterly [06209] broken [06209], and her high [01364] gates [08179] shall be burned [03341] with fire [0784]; and the people [05971] shall labour [03021] in vain [07385], and the folk [03816] in [01767] the fire [0784], and they shall be weary [03286]. 24 51 59 The word [01697] which Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030] commanded [06680] Seraiah [08304] the son [01121] of Neriah [05374], the son [01121] of Maaseiah [04271], when he went [03212] with Zedekiah [06667] the king [04428] of Judah [03063] into Babylon [0894] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of his reign [04427]. And this Seraiah [08304] was a quiet [04496] prince [08269]. 24 51 60 So Jeremiah [03414] wrote [03789] in a [0259] book [05612] all the evil [07451] that should come [0935] upon Babylon [0894], even all these words [01697] that are written [03789] against Babylon [0894]. 24 51 61 And Jeremiah [03414] said [0559] to Seraiah [08304], When thou comest [0935] to Babylon [0894], and shalt see [07200], and shalt read [07121] all these words [01697]; 24 51 62 Then shalt thou say [0559], O LORD [03068], thou hast spoken [01696] against this place [04725], to cut it off [03772], that none shall remain [03427] in it, neither man [0120] nor beast [0929], but that it shall be desolate [08077] for ever [05769]. 24 51 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end [03615] of reading [07121] this book [05612], that thou shalt bind [07194] a stone [068] to it, and cast [07993] it into the midst [08432] of Euphrates [06578]: 24 51 64 And thou shalt say [0559], Thus shall Babylon [0894] sink [08257], and shall not rise [06965] from [06440] the evil [07451] that I will bring [0935] upon her: and they shall be weary [03286]. Thus far are the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414]. 24 52 1 Zedekiah [06667] was one [0259] and twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hamutal [02537] the daughter [01323] of Jeremiah [03414] of Libnah [03841]. 24 52 2 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that Jehoiakim [03079] had done [06213]. 24 52 3 For through [05921] the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] it came to pass in Jerusalem [03389] and Judah [03063], till he had cast them out [07993] from his presence [06440], that Zedekiah [06667] rebelled [04775] against the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 24 52 4 And it came to pass in the ninth [08671] year [08141] of his reign [04427], in the tenth [06224] month [02320], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], that Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came [0935], he and all his army [02428], against Jerusalem [03389], and pitched [02583] against it, and built [01129] forts [01785] against it round about [05439]. 24 52 5 So [0935] the city [05892] was besieged [04692] unto the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141] of king [04428] Zedekiah [06667]. 24 52 6 And in the fourth [07243] month [02320], in the ninth [08672] day of the month [02320], the famine [07458] was sore [02388] in the city [05892], so that there was no bread [03899] for the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 24 52 7 Then the city [05892] was broken up [01234], and all the men [0582] of war [04421] fled [01272], and went forth [03318] out of the city [05892] by night [03915] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] between the two walls [02346], which was by the king's [04428] garden [01588]; (now the Chaldeans [03778] were by the city [05892] round about [05439]:) and they went [03212] by the way [01870] of the plain [06160]. 24 52 8 But the army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778] pursued [07291] after [0310] the king [04428], and overtook [05381] Zedekiah [06667] in the plains [06160] of Jericho [03405]; and all his army [02428] was scattered [06327] from him. 24 52 9 Then they took [08610] the king [04428], and carried him up [05927] unto the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247] in the land [0776] of Hamath [02574]; where he gave [01696] judgment [04941] upon him. 24 52 10 And the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] slew [07819] the sons [01121] of Zedekiah [06667] before his eyes [05869]: he slew [07819] also all the princes [08269] of Judah [03063] in Riblah [07247]. 24 52 11 Then he put out [05786] the eyes [05869] of Zedekiah [06667]; and the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] bound [0631] him in chains [05178], and carried [0935] him to Babylon [0894], and put [05414] him in prison [01004] [06486] till the day [03117] of his death [04194]. 24 52 12 Now in the fifth [02549] month [02320], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], which was the nineteenth [08672] [06240] [08141] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], came [0935] Nebuzaradan [05018], captain [07227] of the guard [02876], which served [05975] [06440] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], into Jerusalem [03389], 24 52 13 And burned [08313] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the king's [04428] house [01004]; and all the houses [01004] of Jerusalem [03389], and all the houses [01004] of the great [01419] men, burned [08313] he with fire [0784]: 24 52 14 And all the army [02428] of the Chaldeans [03778], that were with the captain [07227] of the guard [02876], brake down [05422] all the walls [02346] of Jerusalem [03389] round about [05439]. 24 52 15 Then Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] carried away captive [01540] certain of the poor [01803] of the people [05971], and the residue [03499] of the people [05971] that remained [07604] in the city [05892], and those that fell away [05307], that fell [05307] to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and the rest [03499] of the multitude [0527]. 24 52 16 But Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] left [07604] certain of the poor [01803] of the land [0776] for vinedressers [03755] and for husbandmen [03009]. 24 52 17 Also the pillars [05982] of brass [05178] that were in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and the bases [04350], and the brasen [05178] sea [03220] that was in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], the Chaldeans [03778] brake [07665], and carried [05375] all the brass [05178] of them to Babylon [0894]. 24 52 18 The caldrons [05518] also, and the shovels [03257], and the snuffers [04212], and the bowls [04219], and the spoons [03709], and all the vessels [03627] of brass [05178] wherewith they ministered [08334], took they away [03947]. 24 52 19 And the basons [05592], and the firepans [04289], and the bowls [04219], and the caldrons [05518], and the candlesticks [04501], and the spoons [03709], and the cups [04518]; that which was of gold [02091] in gold [02091], and that which was of silver [03701] in silver [03701], took [03947] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] away [03947]. 24 52 20 The two [08147] pillars [05982], one [0259] sea [03220], and twelve [08147] [06240] brasen [05178] bulls [01241] that were under the bases [04350], which king [04428] Solomon [08010] had made [06213] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: the brass [05178] of all these vessels [03627] was without weight [04948]. 24 52 21 And concerning the pillars [05982], the height [06967] of one [0259] pillar [05982] was eighteen [08083] [06240] cubits [0520]; and a fillet [02339] of twelve [08147] [06240] cubits [0520] did compass [05437] it; and the thickness [05672] thereof was four [0702] fingers [0676]: it was hollow [05014]. 24 52 22 And a chapiter [03805] of brass [05178] was upon it; and the height [06967] of one [0259] chapiter [03805] was five [02568] cubits [0520], with network [07639] and pomegranates [07416] upon the chapiters [03805] round about [05439], all of brass [05178]. The second [08145] pillar [05982] also and the pomegranates [07416] were like unto these. 24 52 23 And there were ninety [08673] and six [08337] pomegranates [07416] on a side [07307]; and all the pomegranates [07416] upon the network [07639] were an hundred [03967] round about [05439]. 24 52 24 And the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] Seraiah [08304] the chief [07218] priest [03548], and Zephaniah [06846] the second [04932] priest [03548], and the three [07969] keepers [08104] of the door [05592]: 24 52 25 He took [03947] also out of the city [05892] an [0259] eunuch [05631], which had the charge [06496] of the men [0582] of war [04421]; and seven [07651] men [0582] of them that were near [07200] the king's [04428] person [06440], which were found [04672] in the city [05892]; and the principal [08269] scribe [05608] of the host [06635], who mustered [06633] the people [05971] of the land [0776]; and threescore [08346] men [0376] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], that were found [04672] in the midst [08432] of the city [05892]. 24 52 26 So Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] took [03947] them, and brought [03212] them to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] to Riblah [07247]. 24 52 27 And the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] smote [05221] them, and put them to death [04191] in Riblah [07247] in the land [0127] of Hamath [02574]. Thus Judah [03063] was carried away captive [01540] out of his own land [0776]. 24 52 28 This is the people [05971] whom Nebuchadrezzar [05019] carried away captive [01540]: in the seventh [07651] year [08141] three [07969] thousand [0505] Jews [03064] and three [07969] and twenty [06242]: 24 52 29 In the eighteenth [08083] [06240] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] he carried away captive [01540] from Jerusalem [03389] eight [08083] hundred [03967] thirty [07970] and two [08147] persons [05315]: 24 52 30 In the three [07969] and twentieth [06242] year [08141] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] Nebuzaradan [05018] the captain [07227] of the guard [02876] carried away captive [01540] of the Jews [03064] seven [07651] hundred [03967] forty [0705] and five [02568] persons [05315]: all the persons [05315] were four [0702] thousand [0505] and six [08337] hundred [03967]. 24 52 31 And it came to pass in the seven [07651] and thirtieth [07970] year [08141] of the captivity [01546] of Jehoiachin [03078] king [04428] of Judah [03063], in the twelfth [08147] [06240] month [02320], in the five [02568] and twentieth [06242] day of the month [02320], that Evilmerodach [0192] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] in the first year [08141] of his reign [04438] lifted up [05375] the head [07218] of Jehoiachin [03078] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and brought him forth [03318] out of prison [01004] [03628], 24 52 32 And spake [01696] kindly [02896] unto him, and set [05414] his throne [03678] above [04605] the throne [03678] of the kings [04428] that were with him in Babylon [0894], 24 52 33 And changed [08138] his prison [03608] garments [0899]: and he did continually [08548] eat [0398] bread [03899] before [06440] him all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 24 52 34 And for his diet [0737], there was a continual [08548] diet [0737] given [05414] him of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], every [03117] day [03117] a portion [01697] until the day [03117] of his death [04194], all the days [03117] of his life [02416]. 25 1 1 How doth the city [05892] sit [03427] solitary [0910], that was full [07227] of people [05971]! how is she become as a widow [0490]! she that was great [07227] among the nations [01471], and princess [08282] among the provinces [04082], how is she become tributary [04522]! 25 1 2 She weepeth [01058] sore [01058] in the night [03915], and her tears [01832] are on her cheeks [03895]: among all her lovers [0157] she hath none to comfort [05162] her: all her friends [07453] have dealt treacherously [0898] with her, they are become her enemies [0341]. 25 1 3 Judah [03063] is gone into captivity [01540] because of affliction [06040], and because of great [07230] servitude [05656]: she dwelleth [03427] among the heathen [01471], she findeth [04672] no rest [04494]: all her persecutors [07291] overtook [05381] her between the straits [04712]. 25 1 4 The ways [01870] of Zion [06726] do mourn [057], because none come [0935] to the solemn feasts [04150]: all her gates [08179] are desolate [08074]: her priests [03548] sigh [0584], her virgins [01330] are afflicted [03013], and she is in bitterness [04843]. 25 1 5 Her adversaries [06862] are the chief [07218], her enemies [0341] prosper [07951]; for the LORD [03068] hath afflicted [03013] her for the multitude [07230] of her transgressions [06588]: her children [05768] are gone [01980] into captivity [07628] before [06440] the enemy [06862]. 25 1 6 And from the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] all her beauty [01926] is departed [03318]: her princes [08269] are become like harts [0354] that find [04672] no pasture [04829], and they are gone [03212] without strength [03581] before [06440] the pursuer [07291]. 25 1 7 Jerusalem [03389] remembered [02142] in the days [03117] of her affliction [06040] and of her miseries [04788] all her pleasant things [04262] that she had in the days [03117] of old [06924], when her people [05971] fell [05307] into the hand [03027] of the enemy [06862], and none did help [05826] her: the adversaries [06862] saw [07200] her, and did mock [07832] at her sabbaths [04868]. 25 1 8 Jerusalem [03389] hath grievously [02399] sinned [02398]; therefore she is removed [05206]: all that honoured [03513] her despise [02107] her, because they have seen [07200] her nakedness [06172]: yea, she sigheth [0584], and turneth [07725] backward [0268]. 25 1 9 Her filthiness [02932] is in her skirts [07757]; she remembereth [02142] not her last end [0319]; therefore she came down [03381] wonderfully [06382]: she had no comforter [05162]. O LORD [03068], behold [07200] my affliction [06040]: for the enemy [0341] hath magnified [01431] himself. 25 1 10 The adversary [06862] hath spread out [06566] his hand [03027] upon all her pleasant things [04261]: for she hath seen [07200] that the heathen [01471] entered [0935] into her sanctuary [04720], whom thou didst command [06680] that they should not enter [0935] into thy congregation [06951]. 25 1 11 All her people [05971] sigh [0584], they seek [01245] bread [03899]; they have given [05414] their pleasant things [04261] [04262] for meat [0400] to relieve [07725] the soul [05315]: see [07200], O LORD [03068], and consider [05027]; for I am become vile [02151]. 25 1 12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass [05674] by [01870]? behold [05027], and see [07200] if there be [03426] any sorrow [04341] like unto my sorrow [04341], which is done [05953] unto me, wherewith the LORD [03068] hath afflicted [03013] me in the day [03117] of his fierce [02740] anger [0639]. 25 1 13 From above [04791] hath he sent [07971] fire [0784] into my bones [06106], and it prevaileth [07287] against them: he hath spread [06566] a net [07568] for my feet [07272], he hath turned [07725] me back [0268]: he hath made [05414] me desolate [08074] and faint [01739] all the day [03117]. 25 1 14 The yoke [05923] of my transgressions [06588] is bound [08244] by his hand [03027]: they are wreathed [08276], and come up [05927] upon my neck [06677]: he hath made my strength [03581] to fall [03782], the Lord [0136] hath delivered [05414] me into their hands [03027], from whom I am not able [03201] to rise up [06965]. 25 1 15 The Lord [0136] hath trodden under foot [05541] all my mighty [047] men in the midst [07130] of me: he hath called [07121] an assembly [04150] against me to crush [07665] my young men [0970]: the Lord [0136] hath trodden [01869] the virgin [01330], the daughter [01323] of Judah [03063], as in a winepress [01660]. 25 1 16 For these things I weep [01058]; mine eye [05869], mine eye [05869] runneth down [03381] with water [04325], because the comforter [05162] that should relieve [07725] my soul [05315] is far [07368] from me: my children [01121] are desolate [08074], because the enemy [0341] prevailed [01396]. 25 1 17 Zion [06726] spreadeth forth [06566] her hands [03027], and there is none to comfort [05162] her: the LORD [03068] hath commanded [06680] concerning Jacob [03290], that his adversaries [06862] should be round about [05439] him: Jerusalem [03389] is as a menstruous woman [05079] among them. 25 1 18 The LORD [03068] is righteous [06662]; for I have rebelled [04784] against his commandment [06310]: hear [08085], I pray you, all people [05971], and behold [07200] my sorrow [04341]: my virgins [01330] and my young men [0970] are gone [01980] into captivity [07628]. 25 1 19 I called [07121] for my lovers [0157], but they deceived [07411] me: my priests [03548] and mine elders [02205] gave up the ghost [01478] in the city [05892], while they sought [01245] their meat [0400] to relieve [07725] their souls [05315]. 25 1 20 Behold [07200], O LORD [03068]; for I am in distress [06887]: my bowels [04578] are troubled [02560]; mine heart [03820] is turned [02015] within [07130] me; for I have grievously [04784] rebelled [04784]: abroad [02351] the sword [02719] bereaveth [07921], at home [01004] there is as death [04194]. 25 1 21 They have heard [08085] that I sigh [0584]: there is none to comfort [05162] me: all mine enemies [0341] have heard [08085] of my trouble [07451]; they are glad [07797] that thou hast done [06213] it: thou wilt bring [0935] the day [03117] that thou hast called [07121], and they shall be like [03644] unto me. 25 1 22 Let all their wickedness [07451] come [0935] before [06440] thee; and do [05953] unto them, as thou hast done [05953] unto me for all my transgressions [06588]: for my sighs [0585] are many [07227], and my heart [03820] is faint [01742]. 25 2 1 How hath the Lord [0136] covered [05743] the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] with a cloud [05743] in his anger [0639], and cast down [07993] from heaven [08064] unto the earth [0776] the beauty [08597] of Israel [03478], and remembered [02142] not his footstool [01916] [07272] in the day [03117] of his anger [0639]! 25 2 2 The Lord [0136] hath swallowed up [01104] all the habitations [04999] of Jacob [03290], and hath not pitied [02550]: he hath thrown down [02040] in his wrath [05678] the strong holds [04013] of the daughter [01323] of Judah [03063]; he hath brought them down [05060] to the ground [0776]: he hath polluted [02490] the kingdom [04467] and the princes [08269] thereof. 25 2 3 He hath cut off [01438] in his fierce [02750] anger [0639] all the horn [07161] of Israel [03478]: he hath drawn [07725] back [0268] his right hand [03225] from before [06440] the enemy [0341], and he burned [01197] against Jacob [03290] like a flaming [03852] fire [0784], which devoureth [0398] round about [05439]. 25 2 4 He hath bent [01869] his bow [07198] like an enemy [0341]: he stood [05324] with his right hand [03225] as an adversary [06862], and slew [02026] all that were pleasant [04261] to the eye [05869] in the tabernacle [0168] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: he poured out [08210] his fury [02534] like fire [0784]. 25 2 5 The Lord [0136] was as an enemy [0341]: he hath swallowed up [01104] Israel [03478], he hath swallowed up [01104] all her palaces [0759]: he hath destroyed [07843] his strong holds [04013], and hath increased [07235] in the daughter [01323] of Judah [03063] mourning [08386] and lamentation [0592]. 25 2 6 And he hath violently taken away [02554] his tabernacle [07900], as if it were of a garden [01588]: he hath destroyed [07843] his places of the assembly [04150]: the LORD [03068] hath caused the solemn feasts [04150] and sabbaths [07676] to be forgotten [07911] in Zion [06726], and hath despised [05006] in the indignation [02195] of his anger [0639] the king [04428] and the priest [03548]. 25 2 7 The Lord [0136] hath cast off [02186] his altar [04196], he hath abhorred [05010] his sanctuary [04720], he hath given up [05462] into the hand [03027] of the enemy [0341] the walls [02346] of her palaces [0759]; they have made [05414] a noise [06963] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], as in the day [03117] of a solemn feast [04150]. 25 2 8 The LORD [03068] hath purposed [02803] to destroy [07843] the wall [02346] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: he hath stretched out [05186] a line [06957], he hath not withdrawn [07725] his hand [03027] from destroying [01104]: therefore he made the rampart [02426] and the wall [02346] to lament [056]; they languished [0535] together [03162]. 25 2 9 Her gates [08179] are sunk [02883] into the ground [0776]; he hath destroyed [06] and broken [07665] her bars [01280]: her king [04428] and her princes [08269] are among the Gentiles [01471]: the law [08451] is no more; her prophets [05030] also find [04672] no vision [02377] from the LORD [03068]. 25 2 10 The elders [02205] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726] sit [03427] upon the ground [0776], and keep silence [01826]: they have cast up [05927] dust [06083] upon their heads [07218]; they have girded [02296] themselves with sackcloth [08242]: the virgins [01330] of Jerusalem [03389] hang down [03381] their heads [07218] to the ground [0776]. 25 2 11 Mine eyes [05869] do fail [03615] with tears [01832], my bowels [04578] are troubled [02560], my liver [03516] is poured [08210] upon the earth [0776], for the destruction [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]; because the children [05768] and the sucklings [03243] swoon [05848] in the streets [07339] of the city [07151]. 25 2 12 They say [0559] to their mothers [0517], Where is corn [01715] and wine [03196]? when they swooned [05848] as the wounded [02491] in the streets [07339] of the city [05892], when their soul [05315] was poured out [08210] into their mothers [0517]' bosom [02436]. 25 2 13 What thing shall I take to witness [05749] [05749] for thee? what thing [04100] shall I liken [01819] to thee, O daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]? what shall I equal [07737] to thee, that I may comfort [05162] thee, O virgin [01330] daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]? for thy breach [07667] is great [01419] like the sea [03220]: who can heal [07495] thee? 25 2 14 Thy prophets [05030] have seen [02372] vain [07723] and foolish things [08602] for thee: and they have not discovered [01540] thine iniquity [05771], to turn away [07725] thy captivity [07622] [07622]; but have seen [02372] for thee false [07723] burdens [04864] and causes of banishment [04065]. 25 2 15 All that pass [05674] by clap [05606] their hands [03709] at thee [01870]; they hiss [08319] and wag [05128] their head [07218] at the daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], saying, Is this the city [05892] that men call [0559] The perfection [03632] of beauty [03308], The joy [04885] of the whole earth [0776]? 25 2 16 All thine enemies [0341] have opened [06475] their mouth [06310] against thee: they hiss [08319] and gnash [02786] the teeth [08127]: they say [0559], We have swallowed her up [01104]: certainly [0389] this is the day [03117] that we looked for [06960]; we have found [04672], we have seen [07200] it. 25 2 17 The LORD [03068] hath done [06213] that which he had devised [02161]; he hath fulfilled [01214] his word [0565] that he had commanded [06680] in the days [03117] of old [06924]: he hath thrown down [02040], and hath not pitied [02550]: and he hath caused thine enemy [0341] to rejoice [08055] over thee, he hath set up [07311] the horn [07161] of thine adversaries [06862]. 25 2 18 Their heart [03820] cried [06817] unto the Lord [0136], O wall [02346] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], let tears [01832] run down [03381] like a river [05158] day [03119] and night [03915]: give [05414] thyself no rest [06314]; let not the apple [01323] of thine eye [05869] cease [01826]. 25 2 19 Arise [06965], cry out [07442] in the night [03915]: in the beginning [07218] of the watches [0821] pour out [08210] thine heart [03820] like water [04325] before [05227] the face [06440] of the Lord [0136]: lift up [05375] thy hands [03709] toward him for the life [05315] of thy young children [05768], that faint [05848] for hunger [07458] in the top [07218] of every street [02351]. 25 2 20 Behold [07200], O LORD [03068], and consider [05027] to whom thou hast done [05953] this [03541]. Shall the women [0802] eat [0398] their fruit [06529], and children [05768] of a span long [02949]? shall the priest [03548] and the prophet [05030] be slain [02026] in the sanctuary [04720] of the Lord [0136]? 25 2 21 The young [05288] and the old [02205] lie [07901] on the ground [0776] in the streets [02351]: my virgins [01330] and my young men [0970] are fallen [05307] by the sword [02719]; thou hast slain [02026] them in the day [03117] of thine anger [0639]; thou hast killed [02873], and not pitied [02550]. 25 2 22 Thou hast called [07121] as in a solemn [04150] day [03117] my terrors [04032] round about [05439], so that in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] anger [0639] none escaped [06412] nor remained [08300]: those that I have swaddled [02946] and brought up [07235] hath mine enemy [0341] consumed [03615]. 25 3 1 I am the man [01397] that hath seen [07200] affliction [06040] by the rod [07626] of his wrath [05678]. 25 3 2 He hath led [05090] me, and brought [03212] me into darkness [02822], but not into light [0216]. 25 3 3 Surely against me is he turned [07725]; he turneth [02015] his hand [03027] against me all the day [03117]. 25 3 4 My flesh [01320] and my skin [05785] hath he made old [01086]; he hath broken [07665] my bones [06106]. 25 3 5 He hath builded against [01129] me, and compassed [05362] me with gall [07219] and travail [08513]. 25 3 6 He hath set [03427] me in dark places [04285], as they that be dead [04191] of old [05769]. 25 3 7 He hath hedged [01443] me about, that I cannot get out [03318]: he hath made my chain [05178] heavy [03513]. 25 3 8 Also when I cry [02199] and shout [07768], he shutteth out [05640] my prayer [08605]. 25 3 9 He hath inclosed [01443] my ways [01870] with hewn stone [01496], he hath made my paths [05410] crooked [05753]. 25 3 10 He was unto me as a bear [01677] lying in wait [0693], and as a lion [0738] in secret places [04565]. 25 3 11 He hath turned aside [05493] my ways [01870], and pulled me in pieces [06582]: he hath made [07760] me desolate [08074]. 25 3 12 He hath bent [01869] his bow [07198], and set [05324] me as a mark [04307] for the arrow [02671]. 25 3 13 He hath caused the arrows [01121] of his quiver [0827] to enter [0935] into my reins [03629]. 25 3 14 I was a derision [07814] to all my people [05971]; and their song [05058] all the day [03117]. 25 3 15 He hath filled [07646] me with bitterness [04844], he hath made me drunken [07301] with wormwood [03939]. 25 3 16 He hath also broken [01638] my teeth [08127] with gravel stones [02687], he hath covered [03728] me with ashes [0665]. 25 3 17 And thou hast removed [02186] my soul [05315] far off [02186] from peace [07965]: I forgat [05382] prosperity [02896]. 25 3 18 And I said [0559], My strength [05331] and my hope [08431] is perished [06] from the LORD [03068]: 25 3 19 Remembering [02142] mine affliction [06040] and my misery [04788], the wormwood [03939] and the gall [07219]. 25 3 20 My soul [05315] hath them still [02142] in remembrance [02142], and is humbled [07743] in me. 25 3 21 This I recall [07725] to my mind [03820], therefore have I hope [03176]. 25 3 22 It is of the LORD'S [03068] mercies [02617] that we are not consumed [08552], because his compassions [07356] fail [03615] not. 25 3 23 They are new [02319] every morning [01242]: great [07227] is thy faithfulness [0530]. 25 3 24 The LORD [03068] is my portion [02506], saith [0559] my soul [05315]; therefore will I hope [03176] in him. 25 3 25 The LORD [03068] is good [02896] unto them that wait [06960] for him, to the soul [05315] that seeketh [01875] him. 25 3 26 It is good [02896] that a man should both hope [03175] [02342] and quietly wait [01748] for the salvation [08668] of the LORD [03068]. 25 3 27 It is good [02896] for a man [01397] that he bear [05375] the yoke [05923] in his youth [05271]. 25 3 28 He sitteth [03427] alone [0910] and keepeth silence [01826], because he hath borne [05190] it upon him. 25 3 29 He putteth [05414] his mouth [06310] in the dust [06083]; if so be there may be [03426] hope [08615]. 25 3 30 He giveth [05414] his cheek [03895] to him that smiteth [05221] him: he is filled full [07646] with reproach [02781]. 25 3 31 For the Lord [0136] will not cast off [02186] for ever [05769]: 25 3 32 But though he cause grief [03013], yet will he have compassion [07355] according to the multitude [07230] of his mercies [02617]. 25 3 33 For he doth not afflict [06031] willingly [03820] nor grieve [03013] the children [01121] of men [0376]. 25 3 34 To crush [01792] under his feet [07272] all the prisoners [0615] of the earth [0776], 25 3 35 To turn aside [05186] the right [04941] of a man [01397] before the face [06440] of the most High [05945], 25 3 36 To subvert [05791] a man [0120] in his cause [07379], the Lord [0136] approveth [07200] not. 25 3 37 Who is he that saith [0559], and it cometh to pass, when the Lord [0136] commandeth [06680] it not? 25 3 38 Out of the mouth [06310] of the most High [05945] proceedeth [03318] not evil [07451] and good [02896]? 25 3 39 Wherefore doth a living [02416] man [0120] complain [0596], a man [01397] for the punishment of his sins [02399]? 25 3 40 Let us search [02664] and try [02713] our ways [01870], and turn again [07725] to the LORD [03068]. 25 3 41 Let us lift up [05375] our heart [03824] with our hands [03709] unto God [0410] in the heavens [08064]. 25 3 42 We [05168] have transgressed [06586] and have rebelled [04784]: thou hast not pardoned [05545]. 25 3 43 Thou hast covered [05526] with anger [0639], and persecuted [07291] us: thou hast slain [02026], thou hast not pitied [02550]. 25 3 44 Thou hast covered [05526] thyself with a cloud [06051], that our prayer [08605] should not pass through [05674]. 25 3 45 Thou hast made [07760] us as the offscouring [05501] and refuse [03973] in the midst [07130] of the people [05971]. 25 3 46 All our enemies [0341] have opened [06475] their mouths [06310] against us. 25 3 47 Fear [06343] and a snare [06354] is come upon us, desolation [07612] and destruction [07667]. 25 3 48 Mine eye [05869] runneth down [03381] with rivers [06388] of water [04325] for the destruction [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]. 25 3 49 Mine eye [05869] trickleth down [05064], and ceaseth [01820] not, without any intermission [02014], 25 3 50 Till the LORD [03068] look down [08259], and behold [07200] from heaven [08064]. 25 3 51 Mine eye [05869] affecteth [05953] mine heart [05315] because of all the daughters [01323] of my city [05892]. 25 3 52 Mine enemies [0341] chased [06679] me sore [06679], like a bird [06833], without cause [02600]. 25 3 53 They have cut off [06789] my life [02416] in the dungeon [0953], and cast [03034] a stone [068] upon me. 25 3 54 Waters [04325] flowed over [06687] mine head [07218]; then I said [0559], I am cut off [01504]. 25 3 55 I called [07121] upon thy name [08034], O LORD [03068], out of the low [08482] dungeon [0953]. 25 3 56 Thou hast heard [08085] my voice [06963]: hide [05956] not thine ear [0241] at my breathing [07309], at my cry [07775]. 25 3 57 Thou drewest near [07126] in the day [03117] that I called [07121] upon thee: thou saidst [0559], Fear [03372] not. 25 3 58 O Lord [0136], thou hast pleaded [07378] the causes [07379] of my soul [05315]; thou hast redeemed [01350] my life [02416]. 25 3 59 O LORD [03068], thou hast seen [07200] my wrong [05792]: judge [08199] thou my cause [04941]. 25 3 60 Thou hast seen [07200] all their vengeance [05360] and all their imaginations [04284] against me. 25 3 61 Thou hast heard [08085] their reproach [02781], O LORD [03068], and all their imaginations [04284] against me; 25 3 62 The lips [08193] of those that rose up [06965] against me, and their device [01902] against me all the day [03117]. 25 3 63 Behold [05027] their sitting down [03427], and their rising up [07012]; I am their musick [04485]. 25 3 64 Render [07725] unto them a recompence [01576], O LORD [03068], according to the work [04639] of their hands [03027]. 25 3 65 Give [05414] them sorrow [04044] of heart [03820], thy curse [08381] unto them. 25 3 66 Persecute [07291] and destroy [08045] them in anger [0639] from under the heavens [08064] of the LORD [03068]. 25 4 1 How is the gold [02091] become dim [06004] ! how is the most [02896] fine gold [03800] changed [08132] ! the stones [068] of the sanctuary [06944] are poured out [08210] in the top [07218] of every street [02351]. 25 4 2 The precious [03368] sons [01121] of Zion [06726], comparable [05537] to fine gold [06337], how are they esteemed [02803] as earthen [02789] pitchers [05035], the work [04639] of the hands [03027] of the potter [03335] ! 25 4 3 Even the sea monsters [08577] draw out [02502] the breast [07699], they give suck [03243] to their young ones [01482]: the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] is become cruel [0393], like the ostriches [03283] in the wilderness [04057]. 25 4 4 The tongue [03956] of the sucking child [03243] cleaveth [01692] to the roof of his mouth [02441] for thirst [06772]: the young children [05768] ask [07592] bread [03899], and no man breaketh [06566] it unto them. 25 4 5 They that did feed [0398] delicately [04574] are desolate [08074] in the streets [02351]: they that were brought up [0539] in scarlet [08438] embrace [02263] dunghills [0830]. 25 4 6 For the punishment of the iniquity [05771] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971] is greater [01431] than the punishment [02403] of the sin of Sodom [05467], that was overthrown [02015] as in a moment [07281], and no hands [03027] stayed [02342] on her. 25 4 7 Her Nazarites [05139] were purer [02141] than snow [07950], they were whiter [06705] than milk [02461], they were more ruddy [0119] in body [06106] than rubies [06443], their polishing [01508] was of sapphire [05601]: 25 4 8 Their visage [08389] is blacker [02821] than a coal [07815]; they are not known [05234] in the streets [02351]: their skin [05785] cleaveth [06821] to their bones [06106]; it is withered [03001], it is become like a stick [06086]. 25 4 9 They that be slain [02491] with the sword [02719] are better [02896] than they that be slain [02491] with hunger [07458]: for these [01992] pine away [02100], stricken [01856] through for want of the fruits [08570] of the field [07704]. 25 4 10 The hands [03027] of the pitiful [07362] women [0802] have sodden [01310] their own children [03206]: they were their meat [01262] in the destruction [07667] of the daughter [01323] of my people [05971]. 25 4 11 The LORD [03068] hath accomplished [03615] his fury [02534]; he hath poured out [08210] his fierce [02740] anger [0639], and hath kindled [03341] a fire [0784] in Zion [06726], and it hath devoured [0398] the foundations [03247] thereof. 25 4 12 The kings [04428] of the earth [0776], and all the inhabitants [03427] of the world [08398], would not have believed [0539] that the adversary [06862] and the enemy [0341] should have entered [0935] into the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389]. 25 4 13 For the sins [02403] of her prophets [05030], and the iniquities [05771] of her priests [03548], that have shed [08210] the blood [01818] of the just [06662] in the midst [07130] of her, 25 4 14 They have wandered [05128] as blind [05787] men in the streets [02351], they have polluted [01351] themselves with blood [01818], so that men could [03201] not [03808] touch [05060] their garments [03830]. 25 4 15 They cried [07121] unto them, Depart [05493] ye; it is unclean [02931]; depart [05493], depart [05493], touch [05060] not: when they fled away [05132] and wandered [05128], they said [0559] among the heathen [01471], They shall no more [03254] sojourn [01481] there. 25 4 16 The anger [06440] of the LORD [03068] hath divided [02505] them; he will no more [03254] regard [05027] them: they respected [05375] not the persons [06440] of the priests [03548], they favoured [02603] not the elders [02205]. 25 4 17 As for us, our eyes [05869] as yet failed [03615] for our vain [01892] help [05833]: in our watching [06836] we have watched [06822] for a nation [01471] that could not save [03467] us. 25 4 18 They hunt [06679] our steps [06806], that we cannot go [03212] in our streets [07339]: our end [07093] is near [07126], our days [03117] are fulfilled [04390]; for our end [07093] is come [0935]. 25 4 19 Our persecutors [07291] are swifter [07031] than the eagles [05404] of the heaven [08064]: they pursued [01814] us upon the mountains [02022], they laid wait [0693] for us in the wilderness [04057]. 25 4 20 The breath [07307] of our nostrils [0639], the anointed [04899] of the LORD [03068], was taken [03920] in their pits [07825], of whom we said [0559], Under his shadow [06738] we shall live [02421] among the heathen [01471]. 25 4 21 Rejoice [07797] and be glad [08055], O daughter [01323] of Edom [0123], that dwellest [03427] in the land [0776] of Uz [05780]; the cup [03563] also shall pass [05674] through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken [07937], and shalt make thyself naked [06168]. 25 4 22 The punishment of thine iniquity [05771] is accomplished [08552], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]; he will no more [03254] carry thee away into captivity [01540]: he will visit [06485] thine iniquity [05771], O daughter [01323] of Edom [0123]; he will discover [01540] thy sins [02403]. 25 5 1 Remember [02142], O LORD [03068], what is come upon us: consider [05027], and behold [07200] our reproach [02781]. 25 5 2 Our inheritance [05159] is turned [02015] to strangers [02114], our houses [01004] to aliens [05237]. 25 5 3 We are orphans [03490] and fatherless [0369] [01], our mothers [0517] are as widows [0490]. 25 5 4 We have drunken [08354] our water [04325] for money [03701]; our wood [06086] is sold [0935] [04242] unto us. 25 5 5 Our necks [06677] are under persecution [07291]: we labour [03021], and have no rest [05117]. 25 5 6 We have given [05414] the hand [03027] to the Egyptians [04714], and to the Assyrians [0804], to be satisfied [07646] with bread [03899]. 25 5 7 Our fathers [01] have sinned [02398], and are not [0369]; and we have borne [05445] their iniquities [05771]. 25 5 8 Servants [05650] have ruled [04910] over us: there is none that doth deliver [06561] us out of their hand [03027]. 25 5 9 We gat [0935] our bread [03899] with the peril of our lives [05315] because [06440] of the sword [02719] of the wilderness [04057]. 25 5 10 Our skin [05785] was black [03648] like an oven [08574] because [06440] of the terrible [02152] famine [07458]. 25 5 11 They ravished [06031] the women [0802] in Zion [06726], and the maids [01330] in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063]. 25 5 12 Princes [08269] are hanged up [08518] by their hand [03027]: the faces [06440] of elders [02205] were not honoured [01921]. 25 5 13 They took [05375] the young men [0970] to grind [02911], and the children [05288] fell [03782] under the wood [06086]. 25 5 14 The elders [02205] have ceased [07673] from the gate [08179], the young men [0970] from their musick [05058]. 25 5 15 The joy [04885] of our heart [03820] is ceased [07673]; our dance [04234] is turned [02015] into mourning [060]. 25 5 16 The crown [05850] is fallen [05307] from our head [07218]: woe [0188] unto us, that we have sinned [02398] ! 25 5 17 For this our heart [03820] is faint [01739]; for these things our eyes [05869] are dim [02821]. 25 5 18 Because of the mountain [02022] of Zion [06726], which is desolate [08074], the foxes [07776] walk [01980] upon it. 25 5 19 Thou, O LORD [03068], remainest [03427] for ever [05769]; thy throne [03678] from generation [01755] to generation [01755]. 25 5 20 Wherefore dost thou forget [07911] us for ever [05331], and forsake [05800] us so long [0753] time [03117]? 25 5 21 Turn [07725] thou us unto thee, O LORD [03068], and we shall be turned [07725]; renew [02318] our days [03117] as of old [06924]. 25 5 22 But thou hast utterly [03988] rejected [03988] us; thou art very [03966] wroth [07107] against us. 26 1 1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth [07970] year [08141], in the fourth [07243] month, in the fifth [02568] day of the month [02320], as I was among [08432] the captives [01473] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529], that the heavens [08064] were opened [06605], and I saw [07200] visions [04759] of God [0430]. 26 1 2 In the fifth [02568] day of the month [02320], which was the fifth [02549] year [08141] of king [04428] Jehoiachin's [03112] captivity [01546], 26 1 3 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came expressly unto Ezekiel [03168] the priest [03548], the son [01121] of Buzi [0941], in the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778] by the river [05104] Chebar [03529]; and the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was there upon him. 26 1 4 And I looked [07200], and, behold, a whirlwind [07307] [05591] came [0935] out of the north [06828], a great [01419] cloud [06051], and a fire [0784] infolding [03947] itself, and a brightness [05051] was about [05439] it, and out of the midst [08432] thereof as the colour [05869] of amber [02830], out of the midst [08432] of the fire [0784]. 26 1 5 Also out of the midst [08432] thereof came the likeness [01823] of four [0702] living creatures [02416]. And this was their appearance [04758]; they [02007] had the likeness [01823] of a man [0120]. 26 1 6 And every one [0259] had four [0702] faces [06440], and every one [0259] had four [0702] wings [03671]. 26 1 7 And their feet [07272] were straight [03477] feet [07272]; and the sole [03709] of their feet [07272] was like the sole [03709] of a calf's [05695] foot [07272]: and they sparkled [05340] like the colour [05869] of burnished [07044] brass [05178]. 26 1 8 And they had the hands [03027] of a man [0120] under their wings [03671] on their four [0702] sides [07253]; and they four [0702] had their faces [06440] and their wings [03671]. 26 1 9 Their wings [03671] were joined [02266] one [0802] to another [0269]; they turned [05437] not when they went [03212]; they went [03212] every one [0376] straight [05676] forward [06440]. 26 1 10 As for the likeness [01823] of their faces [06440], they four [0702] had the face [06440] of a man [0120], and the face [06440] of a lion [0738], on the right side [03225]: and they four [0702] had the face [06440] of an ox [07794] on the left side [08040]; they four [0702] also had the face [06440] of an eagle [05404]. 26 1 11 Thus were their faces [06440]: and their wings [03671] were stretched [06504] upward [04605]; two [08147] wings of every one [0376] were joined [02266] one [0376] to another [0376], and two [08147] covered [03680] their bodies [01472]. 26 1 12 And they went [03212] every one [0376] straight [05676] forward [06440]: whither the spirit [07307] was to go [03212], they went [03212]; and they turned [05437] not when they went [03212]. 26 1 13 As for the likeness [01823] of the living creatures [02416], their appearance [04758] was like burning [01197] coals [01513] of fire [0784], and like the appearance [04758] of lamps [03940]: it went up and down [01980] among the living creatures [02416]; and the fire [0784] was bright [05051], and out of the fire [0784] went forth [03318] lightning [01300]. 26 1 14 And the living creatures [02416] ran [07519] and returned [07725] as the appearance [04758] of a flash of lightning [0965]. 26 1 15 Now as I beheld [07200] the living creatures [02416], behold one [0259] wheel [0212] upon the earth [0776] by [0681] the living creatures [02416], with his four [0702] faces [06440]. 26 1 16 The appearance [04758] of the wheels [0212] and their work [04639] was like unto the colour [05869] of a beryl [08658]: and they four [0702] had one [0259] likeness [01823]: and their appearance [04758] and their work [04639] was as it were a wheel [0212] in the middle [08432] of a wheel [0212]. 26 1 17 When they went [03212], they went [03212] upon their four [0702] sides [07253]: and they turned [05437] not when they went [03212]. 26 1 18 As for their rings [01354], they were so high [01363] that they were dreadful [03374]; and their rings [01354] were full [04392] of eyes [05869] round about [05439] them four [0702]. 26 1 19 And when the living creatures [02416] went [03212], the wheels [0212] went [03212] by them [0681]: and when the living creatures [02416] were lifted up [05375] from the earth [0776], the wheels [0212] were lifted up [05375]. 26 1 20 Whithersoever the spirit [07307] was to go [03212], they went [03212], thither was their spirit [07307] to go [03212]; and the wheels [0212] were lifted up [05375] over against [05980] them: for the spirit [07307] of the living creature [02416] was in the wheels [0212]. 26 1 21 When those went [03212], these went [03212]; and when those stood [05975], these stood [05975]; and when those were lifted up [05375] from the earth [0776], the wheels [0212] were lifted up [05375] over against [05980] them: for the spirit [07307] of the living creature [02416] was in the wheels [0212]. 26 1 22 And the likeness [01823] of the firmament [07549] upon the heads [07218] of the living creature [02416] was as the colour [05869] of the terrible [03372] crystal [07140], stretched forth [05186] over their heads [07218] above [04605]. 26 1 23 And under the firmament [07549] were their wings [03671] straight [03477], the one [0802] toward the other [0269]: every one [0376] had two [08147], which covered [03680] on this side [02007], and every one [0376] had two [08147], which covered [03680] on that side [02007], their bodies [01472]. 26 1 24 And when they went [03212], I heard [08085] the noise [06963] of their wings [03671], like the noise [06963] of great [07227] waters [04325], as the voice [06963] of the Almighty [07706], the voice [06963] of speech [01999], as the noise [06963] of an host [04264]: when they stood [05975], they let down [07503] their wings [03671]. 26 1 25 And there was a voice [06963] from the firmament [07549] that was over their heads [07218], when they stood [05975], and had let down [07503] their wings [03671]. 26 1 26 And above [04605] the firmament [07549] that was over their heads [07218] was the likeness [01823] of a throne [03678], as the appearance [04758] of a sapphire [05601] stone [068]: and upon the likeness [01823] of the throne [03678] was the likeness [01823] as the appearance [04758] of a man [0120] above [04605] upon it. 26 1 27 And I saw [07200] as the colour [05869] of amber [02830], as the appearance [04758] of fire [0784] round about [05439] within [01004] it, from the appearance [04758] of his loins [04975] even upward [04605], and from the appearance [04758] of his loins [04975] even downward [04295], I saw [07200] as it were the appearance [04758] of fire [0784], and it had brightness [05051] round about [05439]. 26 1 28 As the appearance [04758] of the bow [07198] that is in the cloud [06051] in the day [03117] of rain [01653], so was the appearance [04758] of the brightness [05051] round about [05439]. This was the appearance [04758] of the likeness [01823] of the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068]. And when I saw [07200] it, I fell [05307] upon my face [06440], and I heard [08085] a voice [06963] of one that spake [01696]. 26 2 1 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], stand [05975] upon thy feet [07272], and I will speak [01696] unto thee. 26 2 2 And the spirit [07307] entered [0935] into me when he spake [01696] unto me, and set [05975] me upon my feet [07272], that I heard [08085] him that spake [01696] unto me. 26 2 3 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], I send [07971] thee to the children [01121] of Israel [03478], to a rebellious [04775] nation [01471] that hath rebelled [04775] against me: they and their fathers [01] have transgressed [06586] against me, even unto this very [06106] day [03117]. 26 2 4 For they are impudent [07186] [06440] children [01121] and stiffhearted [02389] [03820]. I do send [07971] thee unto them; and thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 2 5 And they, whether they will hear [08085], or whether they will forbear [02308], (for they are a rebellious [04805] house [01004],) yet shall know [03045] that there hath been a prophet [05030] among [08432] them. 26 2 6 And thou, son [01121] of man [0120], be not afraid [03372] of them, neither be afraid [03372] of their words [01697], though briers [05621] and thorns [05544] be with thee, and thou dost dwell [03427] among scorpions [06137]: be not afraid [03372] of their words [01697], nor be dismayed [02865] at their looks [06440], though they be a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 2 7 And thou shalt speak [01696] my words [01697] unto them, whether they will hear [08085], or whether they will forbear [02308]: for they are most rebellious [04805]. 26 2 8 But thou, son [01121] of man [0120], hear [08085] what I say [01696] unto thee; Be not [01961] thou rebellious [04805] like that rebellious [04805] house [01004]: open [06475] thy mouth [06310], and eat [0398] that I give [05414] thee. 26 2 9 And when I looked [07200], behold, an hand [03027] was sent [07971] unto me; and, lo, a roll [04039] of a book [05612] was therein; 26 2 10 And he spread [06566] it before [06440] me; and it was written [03789] within [06440] and without [0268]: and there was written [03789] therein lamentations [07015], and mourning [01899], and woe [01958]. 26 3 1 Moreover he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], eat [0398] that thou findest [04672]; eat [0398] this roll [04039], and go [03212] speak [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 3 2 So I opened [06605] my mouth [06310], and he caused me to eat [0398] that roll [04039]. 26 3 3 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], cause thy belly [0990] to eat [0398], and fill [04390] thy bowels [04578] with this roll [04039] that I give [05414] thee. Then did I eat [0398] it; and it was in my mouth [06310] as honey [01706] for sweetness [04966]. 26 3 4 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], go [03212], get [0935] thee unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and speak [01696] with my words [01697] unto them. 26 3 5 For thou art not sent [07971] to a people [05971] of a strange [06012] speech [08193] and of an hard [03515] language [03956], but to the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; 26 3 6 Not to many [07227] people [05971] of a strange [06012] speech [08193] and of an hard [03515] language [03956], whose words [01697] thou canst not understand [08085]. Surely, had I sent [07971] thee to them, they would have hearkened [08085] unto thee. 26 3 7 But the house [01004] of Israel [03478] will [014] not hearken [08085] unto thee; for they will [014] not hearken [08085] unto me: for all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] are impudent [02389] [04696] and hardhearted [07186] [03820]. 26 3 8 Behold, I have made [05414] thy face [06440] strong [02389] against [05980] their faces [06440], and thy forehead [04696] strong [02389] against [05980] their foreheads [04696]. 26 3 9 As an adamant [08068] harder [02389] than flint [06864] have I made [05414] thy forehead [04696]: fear [03372] them not, neither be dismayed [02865] at their looks [06440], though they be a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 3 10 Moreover he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], all my words [01697] that I shall speak [01696] unto thee receive [03947] in thine heart [03824], and hear [08085] with thine ears [0241]. 26 3 11 And go [03212], get [0935] thee to them of the captivity [01473], unto the children [01121] of thy people [05971], and speak [01696] unto them, and tell [0559] them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; whether they will hear [08085], or whether they will forbear [02308]. 26 3 12 Then the spirit [07307] took me up [05375], and I heard [08085] behind [0310] me a voice [06963] of a great [01419] rushing [07494], saying, Blessed [01288] be the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] from his place [04725]. 26 3 13 I heard also the noise [06963] of the wings [03671] of the living creatures [02416] that touched [05401] one [0802] another [0269], and the noise [06963] of the wheels [0212] over against [05980] them, and a noise [06963] of a great [01419] rushing [07494]. 26 3 14 So the spirit [07307] lifted me up [05375], and took me away [03947], and I went [03212] in bitterness [04751], in the heat [02534] of my spirit [07307]; but the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was strong [02388] upon me. 26 3 15 Then I came [0935] to them of the captivity [01473] at Telabib [08512], that dwelt [03427] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529], and I sat [03427] where they sat [03427], and remained [03427] there astonished [08074] among [08432] them seven [07651] days [03117]. 26 3 16 And it came to pass at the end [07097] of seven [07651] days [03117], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 3 17 Son [01121] of man [0120], I have made [05414] thee a watchman [06822] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: therefore hear [08085] the word [01697] at my mouth [06310], and give them warning [02094] from me. 26 3 18 When I say [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]; and thou givest him not warning [02094], nor speakest [01696] to warn [02094] the wicked [07563] from his wicked [07563] way [01870], to save his life [02421]; the same wicked [07563] man shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027]. 26 3 19 Yet if thou warn [02094] the wicked [07563], and he turn [07725] not from his wickedness [07562], nor from his wicked [07563] way [01870], he shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315]. 26 3 20 Again [07725], When a righteous [06662] man doth turn [07725] from his righteousness [06664], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], and I lay [05414] a stumblingblock [04383] before [06440] him, he shall die [04191]: because thou hast not given him warning [02094], he shall die [04191] in his sin [02403], and his righteousness [06666] which he hath done [06213] shall not be remembered [02142]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027]. 26 3 21 Nevertheless if thou warn [02094] the righteous [06662] man, that the righteous [06662] sin [02398] not, and he doth not sin [02398], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], because he is warned [02094]; also thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315]. 26 3 22 And the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was there upon me; and he said [0559] unto me, Arise [06965], go forth [03318] into the plain [01237], and I will there talk [01696] with thee. 26 3 23 Then I arose [06965], and went forth [03318] into the plain [01237]: and, behold, the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] stood [05975] there, as the glory [03519] which I saw [07200] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529]: and I fell [05307] on my face [06440]. 26 3 24 Then the spirit [07307] entered [0935] into me, and set [05975] me upon my feet [07272], and spake [01696] with me, and said [0559] unto me, Go [0935], shut [05462] thyself within [08432] thine house [01004]. 26 3 25 But thou, O son [01121] of man [0120], behold, they shall put [05414] bands [05688] upon thee, and shall bind [0631] thee with them, and thou shalt not go out [03318] among [08432] them: 26 3 26 And I will make thy tongue [03956] cleave [01692] to the roof of thy mouth [02441], that thou shalt be dumb [0481], and shalt not be to them a reprover [0376] [03198]: for they are a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 3 27 But when I speak [01696] with [0854] thee, I will open [06605] thy mouth [06310], and thou shalt say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; He that heareth [08085], let him hear [08085]; and he that forbeareth [02310], let him forbear [02308]: for they are a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 4 1 Thou also, son [01121] of man [0120], take [03947] thee a tile [03843], and lay [05414] it before [06440] thee, and pourtray [02710] upon it the city [05892], even Jerusalem [03389]: 26 4 2 And lay [05414] siege [04692] against it, and build [01129] a fort [01785] against it, and cast [08210] a mount [05550] against it; set [05414] the camp [04264] also against it, and set [07760] battering rams [03733] against it round about [05439]. 26 4 3 Moreover take [03947] thou unto thee an iron [01270] pan [04227], and set [05414] it for a wall [07023] of iron [01270] between thee and the city [05892]: and set [03559] thy face [06440] against it, and it shall be besieged [04692], and thou shalt lay siege [06696] against it. This shall be a sign [0226] to the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 4 4 Lie [07901] thou also upon thy left [08042] side [06654], and lay [07760] the iniquity [05771] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] upon it: according to the number [04557] of the days [03117] that thou shalt lie [07901] upon it thou shalt bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]. 26 4 5 For I have laid [05414] upon thee the years [08141] of their iniquity [05771], according to the number [04557] of the days [03117], three [07969] hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117]: so shalt thou bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 4 6 And when thou hast accomplished [03615] them [0428], lie [07901] again [08145] on thy right [03233] [03227] side [06654], and thou shalt bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063] forty [0705] days [03117]: I have appointed [05414] thee each day [03117] [03117] for a year [08141] [08141]. 26 4 7 Therefore thou shalt set [03559] thy face [06440] toward the siege [04692] of Jerusalem [03389], and thine arm [02220] shall be uncovered [02834], and thou shalt prophesy [05012] against it. 26 4 8 And, behold, I will lay [05414] bands [05688] upon thee, and thou shalt not turn [02015] thee from one side [06654] to another [06654], till thou hast ended [03615] the days [03117] of thy siege [04692]. 26 4 9 Take [03947] thou also unto thee wheat [02406], and barley [08184], and beans [06321], and lentiles [05742], and millet [01764], and fitches [03698], and put [05414] them in one [0259] vessel [03627], and make [06213] thee bread [03899] thereof, according to the number [04557] of the days [03117] that thou shalt lie [07901] upon thy side [06654], three [07969] hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117] shalt thou eat [0398] thereof. 26 4 10 And thy meat [03978] which thou shalt eat [0398] shall be by weight [04946], twenty [06242] shekels [08255] a day [03117]: from time [06256] to time [06256] shalt thou eat [0398] it. 26 4 11 Thou shalt drink [08354] also water [04325] by measure [04884], the sixth part [08345] of an hin [01969]: from time [06256] to time [06256] shalt thou drink [08354]. 26 4 12 And thou shalt eat [0398] it as barley [08184] cakes [05692], and thou shalt bake [05746] it with dung [01561] that cometh out [06627] of man [0120], in their sight [05869]. 26 4 13 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Even thus shall the children [01121] of Israel [03478] eat [0398] their defiled [02931] bread [03899] among the Gentiles [01471], whither I will drive [05080] them. 26 4 14 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! behold, my soul [05315] hath not been polluted [02930]: for from my youth [05271] up even till now have I not eaten [0398] of that which dieth of itself [05038], or is torn in pieces [02966]; neither came [0935] there abominable [06292] flesh [01320] into my mouth [06310]. 26 4 15 Then he said [0559] unto me, Lo [07200], I have given [05414] thee cow's [01241] dung [06832] [06832] for man's [0120] dung [01561], and thou shalt prepare [06213] thy bread [03899] therewith. 26 4 16 Moreover he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], behold, I will break [07665] the staff [04294] of bread [03899] in Jerusalem [03389]: and they shall eat [0398] bread [03899] by weight [04948], and with care [01674]; and they shall drink [08354] water [04325] by measure [04884], and with astonishment [08078]: 26 4 17 That they may want [02637] bread [03899] and water [04325], and be astonied [08074] one [0376] with another [0251], and consume away [04743] for their iniquity [05771]. 26 5 1 And thou, son [01121] of man [0120], take [03947] thee a sharp [02299] knife [02719], take [03947] thee a barber's [01532] razor [08593], and cause it to pass [05674] upon thine head [07218] and upon thy beard [02206]: then take [03947] thee balances [03976] to weigh [04948], and divide [02505] the hair. 26 5 2 Thou shalt burn [01197] with fire [0217] a third part [07992] in the midst [08432] of the city [05892], when the days [03117] of the siege [04692] are fulfilled [04390]: and thou shalt take [03947] a third part [07992], and smite [05221] about [05439] it with a knife [02719]: and a third part [07992] thou shalt scatter [02219] in the wind [07307]; and I will draw out [07324] a sword [02719] after [0310] them. 26 5 3 Thou shalt also take [03947] thereof a few [04592] in number [04557], and bind [06696] them in thy skirts [03671]. 26 5 4 Then take of them again [03947], and cast [07993] them into the midst [08432] of the fire [0784], and burn [08313] them in the fire [0784]; for thereof shall a fire [0784] come forth [03318] into all the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 5 5 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; This is Jerusalem [03389]: I have set [07760] it in the midst [08432] of the nations [01471] and countries [0776] that are round about [05439] her. 26 5 6 And she hath changed [04784] my judgments [04941] into wickedness [07564] more than the nations [01471], and my statutes [02708] more than the countries [0776] that are round about [05439] her: for they have refused [03988] my judgments [04941] and my statutes [02708], they have not walked [01980] in them. 26 5 7 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because ye multiplied [01995] more than the nations [01471] that are round about [05439] you, and have not walked [01980] in my statutes [02708], neither have kept [06213] my judgments [04941], neither have done [06213] according to the judgments [04941] of the nations [01471] that are round about [05439] you; 26 5 8 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute [06213] judgments [04941] in the midst [08432] of thee in the sight [05869] of the nations [01471]. 26 5 9 And I will do [06213] in thee that which I have not done [06213], and whereunto I will not do [06213] any more the like, because [03282] of all thine abominations [08441]. 26 5 10 Therefore the fathers [01] shall eat [0398] the sons [01121] in the midst [08432] of thee, and the sons [01121] shall eat [0398] their fathers [01]; and I will execute [06213] judgments [08201] in thee, and the whole remnant [07611] of thee will I scatter [02219] into all the winds [07307]. 26 5 11 Wherefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Surely, because thou hast defiled [02930] my sanctuary [04720] with all thy detestable things [08251], and with all thine abominations [08441], therefore will I also diminish [01639] thee; neither shall mine eye [05869] spare [02347], neither will I have any pity [02550]. 26 5 12 A third part [07992] of thee shall die [04191] with the pestilence [01698], and with famine [07458] shall they be consumed [03615] in the midst [08432] of thee: and a third part [07992] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] round about [05439] thee; and I will scatter [02219] a third part [07992] into all the winds [07307], and I will draw out [07324] a sword [02719] after [0310] them. 26 5 13 Thus shall mine anger [0639] be accomplished [03615], and I will cause my fury [02534] to rest [05117] upon them, and I will be comforted [05162]: and they shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it in my zeal [07068], when I have accomplished [03615] my fury [02534] in them. 26 5 14 Moreover I will make [05414] thee waste [02723], and a reproach [02781] among the nations [01471] that are round about [05439] thee, in the sight [05869] of all that pass by [05674]. 26 5 15 So it shall be a reproach [02781] and a taunt [01422], an instruction [04148] and an astonishment [04923] unto the nations [01471] that are round about [05439] thee, when I shall execute [06213] judgments [08201] in thee in anger [0639] and in fury [02534] and in furious [02534] rebukes [08433]. I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 5 16 When I shall send [07971] upon them the evil [07451] arrows [02671] of famine [07458], which shall be for their destruction [04889], and which I will send [07971] to destroy [07843] you: and I will increase [03254] the famine [07458] upon you, and will break [07665] your staff [04294] of bread [03899]: 26 5 17 So will I send [07971] upon you famine [07458] and evil [07451] beasts [02416], and they shall bereave [07921] thee; and pestilence [01698] and blood [01818] shall pass through [05674] thee; and I will bring [0935] the sword [02719] upon thee. I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 6 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 6 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] toward the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], and prophesy [05012] against them, 26 6 3 And say [0559], Ye mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] to the mountains [02022], and to the hills [01389], to the rivers [0650], and to the valleys [01516]; Behold, I, even I, will bring [0935] a sword [02719] upon you, and I will destroy [06] your high places [01116]. 26 6 4 And your altars [04196] shall be desolate [08074], and your images [02553] shall be broken [07665]: and I will cast down [05307] your slain [02491] men before [06440] your idols [01544]. 26 6 5 And I will lay [05414] the dead carcases [06297] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] before [06440] their idols [01544]; and I will scatter [02219] your bones [06106] round about [05439] your altars [04196]. 26 6 6 In all your dwellingplaces [04186] the cities [05892] shall be laid waste [02717], and the high places [01116] shall be desolate [03456]; that your altars [04196] may be laid waste [02717] and made desolate [0816], and your idols [01544] may be broken [07665] and cease [07673], and your images [02553] may be cut down [01438], and your works [04639] may be abolished [04229]. 26 6 7 And the slain [02491] shall fall [05307] in the midst [08432] of you, and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 6 8 Yet will I leave a remnant [03498], that ye may have some that shall escape [06412] the sword [02719] among the nations [01471], when ye shall be scattered [02219] through the countries [0776]. 26 6 9 And they that escape [06412] of you shall remember [02142] me among the nations [01471] whither they shall be carried captives [07617], because I am broken [07665] with their whorish [02181] heart [03820], which hath departed [05493] from me, and with their eyes [05869], which go a whoring [02181] after [0310] their idols [01544]: and they shall lothe [06962] themselves [06440] for the evils [07451] which they have committed [06213] in all their abominations [08441]. 26 6 10 And they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have not said [01696] in vain [02600] that I would do [06213] this evil [07451] unto them. 26 6 11 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Smite [05221] with thine hand [03709], and stamp [07554] with thy foot [07272], and say [0559], Alas [0253] for all the evil [07451] abominations [08441] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]! for they shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]. 26 6 12 He that is far off [07350] shall die [04191] of the pestilence [01698]; and he that is near [07138] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]; and he that remaineth [07604] and is besieged [05341] shall die [04191] by the famine [07458]: thus will I accomplish [03615] my fury [02534] upon them. 26 6 13 Then shall ye know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when their slain [02491] men shall be among [08432] their idols [01544] round about [05439] their altars [04196], upon every high [07311] hill [01389], in all the tops [07218] of the mountains [02022], and under every green [07488] tree [06086], and under every thick [05687] oak [0424], the place [04725] where they did offer [05414] sweet [05207] savour [07381] to all their idols [01544]. 26 6 14 So will I stretch out [05186] my hand [03027] upon them, and make [05414] the land [0776] desolate [08077], yea, more desolate [04923] than the wilderness [04057] toward Diblath [01689], in all their habitations [04186]: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 7 1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 7 2 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto the land [0127] of Israel [03478]; An end [07093], the end [07093] is come [0935] upon the four [0702] corners [03671] of the land [0776]. 26 7 3 Now is the end [07093] come upon thee, and I will send [07971] mine anger [0639] upon thee, and will judge [08199] thee according to thy ways [01870], and will recompense [05414] upon thee all thine abominations [08441]. 26 7 4 And mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] thee, neither will I have pity [02550]: but I will recompense [05414] thy ways [01870] upon thee, and thine abominations [08441] shall be in the midst [08432] of thee: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 7 5 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; An evil [07451], an only [0259] evil [07451], behold, is come [0935]. 26 7 6 An end [07093] is come [0935], the end [07093] is come [0935]: it watcheth [06974] for thee; behold, it is come [0935]. 26 7 7 The morning [06843] is come [0935] unto thee, O thou that dwellest [03427] in the land [0776]: the time [06256] is come [0935] [0935], the day [03117] of trouble [04103] is near [07138], and not the sounding again [01906] of the mountains [02022]. 26 7 8 Now will I shortly [07138] pour out [08210] my fury [02534] upon thee, and accomplish [03615] mine anger [0639] upon thee: and I will judge [08199] thee according to thy ways [01870], and will recompense [05414] thee for all thine abominations [08441]. 26 7 9 And mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347], neither will I have pity [02550]: I will recompense [05414] thee according to thy ways [01870] and thine abominations [08441] that are in the midst [08432] of thee; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] that smiteth [05221]. 26 7 10 Behold the day [03117], behold, it is come [0935]: the morning [06843] is gone forth [03318]; the rod [04294] hath blossomed [06692], pride [02087] hath budded [06524]. 26 7 11 Violence [02555] is risen up [06965] into a rod [04294] of wickedness [07562]: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude [01995], nor of any [01991] of theirs: neither shall there be wailing [05089] for them. 26 7 12 The time [06256] is come [0935], the day [03117] draweth near [05060]: let not the buyer [07069] rejoice [08055], nor the seller [04376] mourn [056]: for wrath [02740] is upon all the multitude [01995] thereof. 26 7 13 For the seller [04376] shall not return [07725] to that which is sold [04465], although they were yet alive [02416]: for the vision [02377] is touching the whole multitude [01995] thereof, which shall not return [07725]; neither shall any [0376] strengthen [02388] himself in the iniquity [05771] of his life [02416]. 26 7 14 They have blown [08628] the trumpet [08619], even to make all ready [03559]; but none goeth [01980] to the battle [04421]: for my wrath [02740] is upon all the multitude [01995] thereof. 26 7 15 The sword [02719] is without [02351], and the pestilence [01698] and the famine [07458] within [01004]: he that is in the field [07704] shall die [04191] with the sword [02719]; and he that is in the city [05892], famine [07458] and pestilence [01698] shall devour [0398] him. 26 7 16 But they that escape [06403] of them shall escape [06412], and shall be on the mountains [02022] like doves [03123] of the valleys [01516], all of them mourning [01993], every one [0376] for his iniquity [05771]. 26 7 17 All hands [03027] shall be feeble [07503], and all knees [01290] shall be weak [03212] as water [04325]. 26 7 18 They shall also gird [02296] themselves with sackcloth [08242], and horror [06427] shall cover [03680] them; and shame [0955] shall be upon all faces [06440], and baldness [07144] upon all their heads [07218]. 26 7 19 They shall cast [07993] their silver [03701] in the streets [02351], and their gold [02091] shall be removed [05079]: their silver [03701] and their gold [02091] shall not be able [03201] to deliver [05337] them in the day [03117] of the wrath [05678] of the LORD [03068]: they shall not satisfy [07646] their souls [05315], neither fill [04390] their bowels [04578]: because it is the stumblingblock [04383] of their iniquity [05771]. 26 7 20 As for the beauty [06643] of his ornament [05716], he set [07760] it in majesty [01347]: but they made [06213] the images [06754] of their abominations [08441] and of their detestable things [08251] therein: therefore have I set [05414] it far [05079] from them. 26 7 21 And I will give [05414] it into the hands [03027] of the strangers [02114] for a prey [0957], and to the wicked [07563] of the earth [0776] for a spoil [07998]; and they shall pollute [02490] it. 26 7 22 My face [06440] will I turn [05437] also from them, and they shall pollute [02490] my secret [06845] place: for the robbers [06530] shall enter [0935] into it, and defile [02490] it. 26 7 23 Make [06213] a chain [07569]: for the land [0776] is full [04390] of bloody [01818] crimes [04941], and the city [05892] is full [04390] of violence [02555]. 26 7 24 Wherefore I will bring [0935] the worst [07451] of the heathen [01471], and they shall possess [03423] their houses [01004]: I will also make the pomp [01347] of the strong [05794] to cease [07673]; and their holy places [06942] shall be defiled [02490] [05157]. 26 7 25 Destruction [07089] cometh [0935]; and they shall seek [01245] peace [07965], and there shall be none. 26 7 26 Mischief [01943] shall come [0935] upon mischief [01943], and rumour [08052] shall be upon rumour [08052]; then shall they seek [01245] a vision [02377] of the prophet [05030]; but the law [08451] shall perish [06] from the priest [03548], and counsel [06098] from the ancients [02205]. 26 7 27 The king [04428] shall mourn [056], and the prince [05387] shall be clothed [03847] with desolation [08077], and the hands [03027] of the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall be troubled [0926]: I will do [06213] unto them after their way [01870], and according to their deserts [04941] will I judge [08199] them; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 8 1 And it came to pass in the sixth [08345] year [08141], in the sixth [08345] month, in the fifth [02568] day of the month [02320], as I sat [03427] in mine house [01004], and the elders [02205] of Judah [03063] sat [03427] before [06440] me, that the hand [03027] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] fell [05307] there upon me. 26 8 2 Then I beheld [07200], and lo a likeness [01823] as the appearance [04758] of fire [0784]: from the appearance [04758] of his loins [04975] even downward [04295], fire [0784]; and from his loins [04975] even upward [04605], as the appearance [04758] of brightness [02096], as the colour [05869] of amber [02830]. 26 8 3 And he put forth [07971] the form [08403] of an hand [03027], and took [03947] me by a lock [06734] of mine head [07218]; and the spirit [07307] lifted me up [05375] between the earth [0776] and the heaven [08064], and brought [0935] me in the visions [04759] of God [0430] to Jerusalem [03389], to the door [06607] of the inner [06442] gate [08179] that looketh [06437] toward the north [06828]; where was the seat [04186] of the image [05566] of jealousy [07068], which provoketh to jealousy [07069]. 26 8 4 And, behold, the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was there, according to the vision [04758] that I saw [07200] in the plain [01237]. 26 8 5 Then said [0559] he unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] now the way [01870] toward the north [06828]. So I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869] the way [01870] toward the north [06828], and behold northward [06828] at the gate [08179] of the altar [04196] this image [05566] of jealousy [07068] in the entry [0872]. 26 8 6 He said [0559] furthermore unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], seest [07200] thou what they do [06213]? even the great [01419] abominations [08441] that the house [01004] of Israel [03478] committeth [06213] here, that I should go far off [07368] from my sanctuary [04720]? but turn [07725] thee yet again, and thou shalt see [07200] greater [01419] abominations [08441]. 26 8 7 And he brought [0935] me to the door [06607] of the court [02691]; and when I looked [07200], behold a [0259] hole [02356] in the wall [07023]. 26 8 8 Then said [0559] he unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], dig [02864] now in the wall [07023]: and when I had digged [02864] in the wall [07023], behold a [0259] door [06607]. 26 8 9 And he said [0559] unto me, Go in [0935], and behold [07200] the wicked [07451] abominations [08441] that they do [06213] here. 26 8 10 So I went in [0935] and saw [07200]; and behold every form [08403] of creeping things [07431], and abominable [08263] beasts [0929], and all the idols [01544] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], pourtrayed [02707] upon the wall [07023] round about [05439]. 26 8 11 And there stood [05975] before [06440] them seventy [07657] men [0376] of the ancients [02205] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and in the midst [08432] of them stood [05975] Jaazaniah [02970] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227], with every man [0376] his censer [04730] in his hand [03027]; and a thick [06282] cloud [06051] of incense [07004] went up [05927]. 26 8 12 Then said [0559] he unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] what the ancients [02205] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] do [06213] in the dark [02822], every man [0376] in the chambers [02315] of his imagery [04906]? for they say [0559], The LORD [03068] seeth [07200] us not; the LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05800] the earth [0776]. 26 8 13 He said [0559] also unto me, Turn [07725] thee yet again, and thou shalt see [07200] greater [01419] abominations [08441] that they do [06213]. 26 8 14 Then he brought [0935] me to the door [06607] of the gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] which was toward the north [06828]; and, behold, there sat [03427] women [0802] weeping [01058] for Tammuz [08542]. 26 8 15 Then said [0559] he unto me, Hast thou seen [07200] this, O son [01121] of man [0120]? turn [07725] thee yet again, and thou shalt see [07200] greater [01419] abominations [08441] than these. 26 8 16 And he brought [0935] me into the inner [06442] court [02691] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], and, behold, at the door [06607] of the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], between the porch [0197] and the altar [04196], were about five [02568] and twenty [06242] men [0376], with their backs [0268] toward the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], and their faces [06440] toward the east [06924]; and they worshipped [07812] the sun [08121] toward the east [06924]. 26 8 17 Then he said [0559] unto me, Hast thou seen [07200] this, O son [01121] of man [0120]? Is it a light thing [07043] to the house [01004] of Judah [03063] that they commit [06213] the abominations [08441] which they commit [06213] here? for they have filled [04390] the land [0776] with violence [02555], and have returned [07725] to provoke me to anger [03707]: and, lo, they put [07971] the branch [02156] to their nose [0639]. 26 8 18 Therefore will I also deal [06213] in fury [02534]: mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347], neither will I have pity [02550]: and though they cry [07121] in mine ears [0241] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], yet will I not hear [08085] them. 26 9 1 He cried [07121] also in mine ears [0241] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], saying [0559], Cause them that have charge [06486] over the city [05892] to draw near [07126], even every man [0376] with his destroying [04892] weapon [03627] in his hand [03027]. 26 9 2 And, behold, six [08337] men [0582] came [0935] from the way [01870] of the higher [05945] gate [08179], which lieth [06437] toward the north [06828], and every man [0376] a slaughter [04660] weapon [03627] in his hand [03027]; and one [0259] man [0376] among [08432] them was clothed [03847] with linen [0906], with a writer's [05608] inkhorn [07083] by his side [04975]: and they went in [0935], and stood [05975] beside [0681] the brasen [05178] altar [04196]. 26 9 3 And the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was gone up [05927] from the cherub [03742], whereupon he was, to the threshold [04670] of the house [01004]. And he called [07121] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] with linen [0906], which had the writer's [05608] inkhorn [07083] by his side [04975]; 26 9 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Go through [05674] the midst [08432] of the city [05892], through the midst [08432] of Jerusalem [03389], and set [08427] a mark [08420] upon the foreheads [04696] of the men [0582] that sigh [0584] and that cry [0602] for all the abominations [08441] that be done [06213] in the midst [08432] thereof. 26 9 5 And to the others [0428] he said [0559] in mine hearing [0241], Go [05674] ye after [0310] him through the city [05892], and smite [05221]: let not your eye [05869] spare [02347], neither have ye pity [02550]: 26 9 6 Slay [02026] utterly [04889] old [02205] and young [0970], both maids [01330], and little children [02945], and women [0802]: but come not near [05066] any man [0376] upon whom is the mark [08420]; and begin [02490] at my sanctuary [04720]. Then they began [02490] at the ancient [02205] men [0582] which were before [06440] the house [01004]. 26 9 7 And he said [0559] unto them, Defile [02930] the house [01004], and fill [04390] the courts [02691] with the slain [02491]: go ye forth [03318]. And they went forth [03318], and slew [05221] in the city [05892]. 26 9 8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying [05221] them, and I was left [07604], that I fell [05307] upon my face [06440], and cried [02199], and said [0559], Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! wilt thou destroy [07843] all the residue [07611] of Israel [03478] in thy pouring out [08210] of thy fury [02534] upon Jerusalem [03389]? 26 9 9 Then said [0559] he unto me, The iniquity [05771] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063] is exceeding [03966] [03966] great [01419], and the land [0776] is full [04390] of blood [01818], and the city [05892] full [04390] of perverseness [04297]: for they say [0559], The LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05800] the earth [0776], and the LORD [03068] seeth [07200] not. 26 9 10 And as for me also, mine eye [05869] shall not spare [02347], neither will I have pity [02550], but I will recompense [05414] their way [01870] upon their head [07218]. 26 9 11 And, behold, the man [0376] clothed [03847] with linen [0906], which had the inkhorn [07083] by his side [04975], reported [07725] the matter [01697], saying [0559], I have done [06213] as thou hast commanded [06680] me. 26 10 1 Then I looked [07200], and, behold, in the firmament [07549] that was above the head [07218] of the cherubims [03742] there appeared [07200] over them as it were a sapphire [05601] stone [068], as the appearance [04758] of the likeness [01823] of a throne [03678]. 26 10 2 And he spake [0559] unto the man [0376] clothed [03847] with linen [0906], and said [0559], Go in [0935] between [0996] the wheels [01534], even under the cherub [03742], and fill [04390] thine hand [02651] with coals [01513] of fire [0784] from between [0996] the cherubims [03742], and scatter [02236] them over the city [05892]. And he went in [0935] in my sight [05869]. 26 10 3 Now the cherubims [03742] stood [05975] on the right side [03225] of the house [01004], when the man [0376] went in [0935]; and the cloud [06051] filled [04390] the inner [06442] court [02691]. 26 10 4 Then the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] went up [07311] from the cherub [03742], and stood over the threshold [04670] of the house [01004]; and the house [01004] was filled [04390] with the cloud [06051], and the court [02691] was full [04390] of the brightness [05051] of the LORD'S [03068] glory [03519]. 26 10 5 And the sound [06963] of the cherubims [03742]' wings [03671] was heard [08085] even to the outer [02435] court [02691], as the voice [06963] of the Almighty [07706] God [0410] when he speaketh [01696]. 26 10 6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded [06680] the man [0376] clothed [03847] with linen [0906], saying [0559], Take [03947] fire [0784] from between the wheels [01534], from between the cherubims [03742]; then he went in [0935], and stood [05975] beside [0681] the wheels [0212]. 26 10 7 And one cherub [03742] stretched forth [07971] his hand [03027] from between the cherubims [03742] unto the fire [0784] that was between the cherubims [03742], and took [05375] thereof, and put [05414] it into the hands [02651] of him that was clothed [03847] with linen [0906]: who took [03947] it, and went out [03318]. 26 10 8 And there appeared [07200] in the cherubims [03742] the form [08403] of a man's [0120] hand [03027] under their wings [03671]. 26 10 9 And when I looked [07200], behold the four [0702] wheels [0212] by [0681] the cherubims [03742], one [0259] wheel [0212] by [0681] one [0259] cherub [03742], and another [0259] wheel [0212] by [0681] another [0259] cherub [03742]: and the appearance [04758] of the wheels [0212] was as the colour [05869] of a beryl [08658] stone [068]. 26 10 10 And as for their appearances [04758], they four [0702] had one [0259] likeness [01823], as if a wheel [0212] had been in the midst [08432] of a wheel [0212]. 26 10 11 When they went [03212], they went [03212] upon their four [0702] sides [07253]; they turned [05437] not as they went [03212], but to the place [04725] whither the head [07218] looked [06437] they followed [03212] [0310] it; they turned [05437] not as they went [03212]. 26 10 12 And their whole body [01320], and their backs [01354], and their hands [03027], and their wings [03671], and the wheels [0212], were full [04392] of eyes [05869] round about [05439], even the wheels [0212] that they four [0702] had. 26 10 13 As for the wheels [0212], it was cried [07121] unto them in my hearing [0241], O wheel [01534]. 26 10 14 And every one [0259] had four [0702] faces [06440]: the first [0259] face [06440] was the face [06440] of a cherub [03742], and the second [08145] face [06440] was the face [06440] of a man [0120], and the third [07992] the face [06440] of a lion [0738], and the fourth [07243] the face [06440] of an eagle [05404]. 26 10 15 And the cherubims [03742] were lifted up [07426]. This is the living creature [02416] that I saw [07200] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529]. 26 10 16 And when the cherubims [03742] went [03212], the wheels [0212] went [03212] by them [0681]: and when the cherubims [03742] lifted up [05375] their wings [03671] to mount up [07311] from the earth [0776], the same wheels [0212] also [01992] turned [05437] not from beside [0681] them. 26 10 17 When they stood [05975], these stood [05975]; and when they were lifted up [07311], these lifted up [07426] themselves also: for the spirit [07307] of the living creature [02416] was in them. 26 10 18 Then the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] departed [03318] from off the threshold [04670] of the house [01004], and stood [05975] over the cherubims [03742]. 26 10 19 And the cherubims [03742] lifted up [05375] their wings [03671], and mounted up [07426] from the earth [0776] in my sight [05869]: when they went out [03318], the wheels [0212] also were beside [05980] them, and every one stood [05975] at the door [06607] of the east [06931] gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004]; and the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was over them above [04605]. 26 10 20 This is the living creature [02416] that I saw [07200] under the God [0430] of Israel [03478] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529]; and I knew [03045] that they were the cherubims [03742]. 26 10 21 Every one [0259] had four [0702] faces [06440] apiece [0259], and every one [0259] four [0702] wings [03671]; and the likeness [01823] of the hands [03027] of a man [0120] was under their wings [03671]. 26 10 22 And the likeness [01823] of their faces [06440] was the same [01992] faces [06440] which I saw [07200] by the river [05104] of Chebar [03529], their appearances [04758] and themselves: they went [03212] every one [0376] straight [05676] forward [06440]. 26 11 1 Moreover the spirit [07307] lifted me up [05375], and brought [0935] me unto the east [06931] gate [08179] of the LORD'S [03068] house [01004], which looketh [06437] eastward [06921]: and behold at the door [06607] of the gate [08179] five [02568] and twenty [06242] men [0376]; among [08432] whom I saw [07200] Jaazaniah [02970] the son [01121] of Azur [05809], and Pelatiah [06410] the son [01121] of Benaiah [01141], princes [08269] of the people [05971]. 26 11 2 Then said [0559] he unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], these are the men [0582] that devise [02803] mischief [0205], and give [03289] wicked [07451] counsel [06098] in this city [05892]: 26 11 3 Which say [0559], It is not near [07138]; let us build [01129] houses [01004]: this city is the caldron [05518], and we be the flesh [01320]. 26 11 4 Therefore prophesy [05012] against them, prophesy [05012], O son [01121] of man [0120]. 26 11 5 And the Spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] fell [05307] upon me, and said [0559] unto me, Speak [0559]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thus have ye said [0559], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]: for I know [03045] the things that come [04609] into your mind [07307], every one of them. 26 11 6 Ye have multiplied [07235] your slain [02491] in this city [05892], and ye have filled [04390] the streets [02351] thereof with the slain [02491]. 26 11 7 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Your slain [02491] whom ye have laid [07760] in the midst [08432] of it, they are the flesh [01320], and this city is the caldron [05518]: but I will bring you forth [03318] out of the midst [08432] of it. 26 11 8 Ye have feared [03372] the sword [02719]; and I will bring [0935] a sword [02719] upon you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 11 9 And I will bring you out [03318] of the midst [08432] thereof, and deliver [05414] you into the hands [03027] of strangers [02114], and will execute [06213] judgments [08201] among you. 26 11 10 Ye shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]; I will judge [08199] you in the border [01366] of Israel [03478]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 11 11 This city shall not be your caldron [05518], neither shall ye be the flesh [01320] in the midst [08432] thereof; but I will judge [08199] you in the border [01366] of Israel [03478]: 26 11 12 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]: for ye have not walked [01980] in my statutes [02706], neither executed [06213] my judgments [04941], but have done [06213] after the manners [04941] of the heathen [01471] that are round about [05439] you. 26 11 13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied [05012], that Pelatiah [06410] the son [01121] of Benaiah [01141] died [04191]. Then fell I down [05307] upon my face [06440], and cried [02199] with a loud [01419] voice [06963], and said [0559], Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! wilt thou make [06213] a full end [03617] of the remnant [07611] of Israel [03478]? 26 11 14 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 11 15 Son [01121] of man [0120], thy brethren [0251], even thy brethren [0251], the men [0582] of thy kindred [01353], and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] have said [0559], Get you far [07368] from the LORD [03068]: unto us is this land [0776] given [05414] in possession [04181]. 26 11 16 Therefore say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Although I have cast them far off [07368] among the heathen [01471], and although I have scattered [06327] them among the countries [0776], yet will I be to them as a little [04592] sanctuary [04720] in the countries [0776] where they shall come [0935]. 26 11 17 Therefore say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will even gather [06908] you from the people [05971], and assemble [0622] you out of the countries [0776] where ye have been scattered [06327], and I will give [05414] you the land [0127] of Israel [03478]. 26 11 18 And they shall come [0935] thither, and they shall take away [05493] all the detestable things [08251] thereof and all the abominations [08441] thereof from thence. 26 11 19 And I will give [05414] them one [0259] heart [03820], and I will put [05414] a new [02319] spirit [07307] within [07130] you; and I will take [05493] the stony [068] heart [03820] out of their flesh [01320], and will give [05414] them an heart [03820] of flesh [01320]: 26 11 20 That they may walk [03212] in my statutes [02708], and keep [08104] mine ordinances [04941], and do [06213] them: and they shall be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430]. 26 11 21 But as for them whose heart [03820] walketh [01980] after the heart [03820] of their detestable things [08251] and their abominations [08441], I will recompense [05414] their way [01870] upon their own heads [07218], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 11 22 Then did the cherubims [03742] lift up [05375] their wings [03671], and the wheels [0212] beside [05980] them; and the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was over them above [04605]. 26 11 23 And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] went up [05927] from the midst [08432] of the city [05892], and stood [05975] upon the mountain [02022] which is on the east side [06924] of the city [05892]. 26 11 24 Afterwards the spirit [07307] took me up [05375], and brought [0935] me in a vision [04758] by the Spirit [07307] of God [0430] into Chaldea [03778], to them of the captivity [01473]. So the vision [04758] that I had seen [07200] went up [05927] from me. 26 11 25 Then I spake [01696] unto them of the captivity [01473] all the things [01697] that the LORD [03068] had shewed [07200] me. 26 12 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] also came unto me, saying [0559], 26 12 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], thou dwellest [03427] in the midst [08432] of a rebellious [04805] house [01004], which have eyes [05869] to see [07200], and see [07200] not; they have ears [0241] to hear [08085], and hear [08085] not: for they are a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 12 3 Therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], prepare [06213] thee stuff [03627] for removing [01473], and remove [01540] by day [03119] in their sight [05869]; and thou shalt remove [01540] from thy place [04725] to another [0312] place [04725] in their sight [05869]: it may be they will consider [07200], though they be a rebellious [04805] house [01004]. 26 12 4 Then shalt thou bring forth [03318] thy stuff [03627] by day [03119] in their sight [05869], as stuff [03627] for removing [01473]: and thou shalt go forth [03318] at even [06153] in their sight [05869], as they that go forth [04161] into captivity [01473]. 26 12 5 Dig [02864] thou through the wall [07023] in their sight [05869], and carry out [03318] thereby. 26 12 6 In their sight [05869] shalt thou bear [05375] it upon thy shoulders [03802], and carry it forth [03318] in the twilight [05939]: thou shalt cover [03680] thy face [06440], that thou see [07200] not the ground [0776]: for I have set [05414] thee for a sign [04159] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 12 7 And I did [06213] so as I was commanded [06680]: I brought forth [03318] my stuff [03627] by day [03119], as stuff [03627] for captivity [01473], and in the even [06153] I digged [02864] through the wall [07023] with mine hand [03027]; I brought it forth [03318] in the twilight [05939], and I bare [05375] it upon my shoulder [03802] in their sight [05869]. 26 12 8 And in the morning [01242] came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto me, saying [0559], 26 12 9 Son [01121] of man [0120], hath not the house [01004] of Israel [03478], the rebellious [04805] house [01004], said [0559] unto thee, What doest [06213] thou? 26 12 10 Say [0559] thou unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; This burden [04853] concerneth the prince [05387] in Jerusalem [03389], and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] that are among [08432] them. 26 12 11 Say [0559], I am your sign [04159]: like as I have done [06213], so shall it be done [06213] unto them: they shall remove [01473] and go [03212] into captivity [07628]. 26 12 12 And the prince [05387] that is among [08432] them shall bear [05375] upon his shoulder [03802] in the twilight [05939], and shall go forth [03318]: they shall dig [02864] through the wall [07023] to carry out [03318] thereby: he shall cover [03680] his face [06440], that [03282] he see [07200] not the ground [0776] with his eyes [05869]. 26 12 13 My net [07568] also will I spread [06566] upon him, and he shall be taken [08610] in my snare [04686]: and I will bring [0935] him to Babylon [0894] to the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [03778]; yet shall he not see [07200] it, though he shall die [04191] there. 26 12 14 And I will scatter [02219] toward every wind [07307] all that are about [05439] him to help [05828] him, and all his bands [0102]; and I will draw out [07324] the sword [02719] after [0310] them. 26 12 15 And they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall scatter [06327] them among the nations [01471], and disperse [02219] them in the countries [0776]. 26 12 16 But I will leave [03498] a few [04557] men [0582] of them from the sword [02719], from the famine [07458], and from the pestilence [01698]; that they may declare [05608] all their abominations [08441] among the heathen [01471] whither they come [0935]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 12 17 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], 26 12 18 Son [01121] of man [0120], eat [0398] thy bread [03899] with quaking [07494], and drink [08354] thy water [04325] with trembling [07269] and with carefulness [01674]; 26 12 19 And say [0559] unto the people [05971] of the land [0127], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and of the land [0776] of Israel [03478]; They shall eat [0398] their bread [03899] with carefulness [01674], and drink [08354] their water [04325] with astonishment [08078], that her land [0776] may be desolate [03456] from all that is therein [04393], because of the violence [02555] of all them that dwell [03427] therein. 26 12 20 And the cities [05892] that are inhabited [03427] shall be laid waste [02717], and the land [0776] shall be desolate [08077]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 12 21 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 12 22 Son [01121] of man [0120], what is that proverb [04912] that ye have in the land [0127] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The days [03117] are prolonged [0748], and every vision [02377] faileth [06]? 26 12 23 Tell [0559] them therefore, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will make this proverb [04912] to cease [07673], and they shall no more use it as a proverb [04911] in Israel [03478]; but say [01696] unto them, The days [03117] are at hand [07126], and the effect [01697] of every vision [02377]. 26 12 24 For there shall be no more any vain [07723] vision [02377] nor flattering [02509] divination [04738] within [08432] the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 12 25 For I am the LORD [03068]: I will speak [01696], and the word [01697] that I shall speak [01696] shall come to pass [06213]; it shall be no more prolonged [04900]: for in your days [03117], O rebellious [04805] house [01004], will I say [01696] the word [01697], and will perform [06213] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 12 26 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to me, saying [0559], 26 12 27 Son [01121] of man [0120], behold, they of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] say [0559], The vision [02377] that he seeth [02372] is for many [07227] days [03117] to come, and he prophesieth [05012] of the times [06256] that are far [07350] off. 26 12 28 Therefore say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; There shall none of my words [01697] be prolonged [04900] any more, but the word [01697] which I have spoken [01696] shall be done [06213], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 13 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 13 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] against the prophets [05030] of Israel [03478] that prophesy [05012], and say [0559] thou unto them that prophesy [05030] out of their own hearts [03820], Hear [08085] ye the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; 26 13 3 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Woe [01945] unto the foolish [05036] prophets [05030], that follow [01980] [0310] their own spirit [07307], and have seen [07200] nothing! 26 13 4 O Israel [03478], thy prophets [05030] are like the foxes [07776] in the deserts [02723]. 26 13 5 Ye have not gone up [05927] into the gaps [06556], neither made up [01443] the hedge [01447] for the house [01004] of Israel [03478] to stand [05975] in the battle [04421] in the day [03117] of the LORD [03068]. 26 13 6 They have seen [02372] vanity [07723] and lying [03577] divination [07081], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] saith [05002]: and the LORD [03068] hath not sent [07971] them: and they have made others to hope [03176] that they would confirm [06965] the word [01697]. 26 13 7 Have ye not seen [02372] a vain [07723] vision [04236], and have ye not spoken [01696] a lying [03577] divination [04738], whereas ye say [0559], The LORD [03068] saith [05002] it; albeit I have not spoken [0559]? 26 13 8 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because ye have spoken [01696] vanity [07723], and seen [02372] lies [03577], therefore, behold, I am against you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 13 9 And mine hand [03027] shall be upon the prophets [05030] that see [02374] vanity [07723], and that divine [07080] lies [03577]: they shall not be in the assembly [05475] of my people [05971], neither shall they be written [03789] in the writing [03791] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], neither shall they enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 13 10 Because, even because they have seduced [02937] my people [05971], saying [0559], Peace [07965]; and there was no peace [07965]; and one built up [01129] a wall [02434], and, lo [02009], others daubed [02902] it with untempered [08602] morter: 26 13 11 Say [0559] unto them which daub [02902] it with untempered [08602] morter, that it shall fall [05307]: there shall be an overflowing [07857] shower [01653]; and ye [0859], O great hailstones [0417] [068], shall fall [05307]; and a stormy [05591] wind [07307] shall rend [01234] it. 26 13 12 Lo, when the wall [07023] is fallen [05307], shall it not be said [0559] unto you, Where is the daubing [02915] wherewith ye have daubed [02902] it? 26 13 13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will even rend [01234] it with a stormy [05591] wind [07307] in my fury [02534]; and there shall be an overflowing [07857] shower [01653] in mine anger [0639], and great hailstones [0417] [068] in my fury [02534] to consume [03617] it. 26 13 14 So will I break down [02040] the wall [07023] that ye have daubed [02902] with untempered [08602] morter, and bring [05060] it down to the ground [0776], so that the foundation [03247] thereof shall be discovered [01540], and it shall fall [05307], and ye shall be consumed [03615] in the midst [08432] thereof: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 13 15 Thus will I accomplish [03615] my wrath [02534] upon the wall [07023], and upon them that have daubed [02902] it with untempered [08602] morter, and will say [0559] unto you, The wall [07023] is no more, neither they that daubed [02902] it; 26 13 16 To wit, the prophets [05030] of Israel [03478] which prophesy [05012] concerning Jerusalem [03389], and which see [02374] visions [02377] of peace [07965] for her, and there is no peace [07965], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 13 17 Likewise, thou son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against the daughters [01323] of thy people [05971], which prophesy [05012] out of their own heart [03820]; and prophesy [05012] thou against them, 26 13 18 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Woe [01945] to the women that sew [08609] pillows [03704] to all armholes [0679] [03027], and make [06213] kerchiefs [04555] upon the head [07218] of every stature [06967] to hunt [06679] souls [05315]! Will ye hunt [06679] the souls [05315] of my people [05971], and will ye save [02421] the souls [05315] alive [02421] that come unto you? 26 13 19 And will ye pollute [02490] me among my people [05971] for handfuls [08168] of barley [08184] and for pieces [06595] of bread [03899], to slay [04191] the souls [05315] that should not die [04191], and to save [02421] the souls [05315] alive [02421] that should not live [02421], by your lying [03576] to my people [05971] that hear [08085] your lies [03577]? 26 13 20 Wherefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against your pillows [03704], wherewith ye [0859] there hunt [06679] the souls [05315] to make them fly [06524], and I will tear [07167] them from your arms [02220], and will let the souls [05315] go [07971], even the souls [05315] that ye hunt [06679] to make them fly [06524]. 26 13 21 Your kerchiefs [04555] also will I tear [07167], and deliver [05337] my people [05971] out of your hand [03027], and they shall be no more in your hand [03027] to be hunted [04686]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 13 22 Because with lies [08267] ye have made the heart [03820] of the righteous [06662] sad [03512], whom I have not made sad [03510]; and strengthened [02388] the hands [03027] of the wicked [07451], that he should not return [07725] from his wicked [07563] way [01870], by promising him life [02421]: 26 13 23 Therefore ye shall see [02372] no more vanity [07723], nor divine [07080] divinations [07081]: for I will deliver [05337] my people [05971] out of your hand [03027]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 14 1 Then came [0935] certain [0582] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] unto me, and sat [03427] before [06440] me. 26 14 2 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 14 3 Son [01121] of man [0120], these men [0582] have set up [05927] their idols [01544] in their heart [03820], and put [05414] the stumblingblock [04383] of their iniquity [05771] before [05227] their face [06440]: should I be enquired [01875] of at all [01875] by them? 26 14 4 Therefore speak [01696] unto them, and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Every man [0376] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] that setteth up [05927] his idols [01544] in his heart [03820], and putteth [07760] the stumblingblock [04383] of his iniquity [05771] before [05227] his face [06440], and cometh [0935] to the prophet [05030]; I the LORD [03068] will answer [06030] him that cometh [0935] according to the multitude [07230] of his idols [01544]; 26 14 5 That I may take [08610] the house [01004] of Israel [03478] in their own heart [03820], because they are all estranged [02114] from me through their idols [01544]. 26 14 6 Therefore say [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Repent [07725], and turn [07725] yourselves from your idols [01544]; and turn away [07725] your faces [06440] from all your abominations [08441]. 26 14 7 For every one [0376] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or of the stranger [01616] that sojourneth [01481] in Israel [03478], which separateth [05144] himself from me [0310], and setteth up [05927] his idols [01544] in his heart [03820], and putteth [07760] the stumblingblock [04383] of his iniquity [05771] before [05227] his face [06440], and cometh [0935] to a prophet [05030] to enquire [01875] of him concerning me; I the LORD [03068] will answer [06030] him by myself: 26 14 8 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against that man [0376], and will make [08074] him a sign [0226] and a proverb [04912], and I will cut him off [03772] from the midst [08432] of my people [05971]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 14 9 And if the prophet [05030] be deceived [06601] when he hath spoken [01696] a thing [01697], I the LORD [03068] have deceived [06601] that prophet [05030], and I will stretch out [05186] my hand [03027] upon him, and will destroy [08045] him from the midst [08432] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 26 14 10 And they shall bear [05375] the punishment of their iniquity [05771]: the punishment [05771] of the prophet [05030] shall be even as the punishment [05771] of him that seeketh [01875] unto him; 26 14 11 That the house [01004] of Israel [03478] may go no more astray [08582] from me [0310], neither be polluted [02930] any more with all their transgressions [06588]; but that they may be my people [05971], and I may be their God [0430], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 14 12 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again to me, saying [0559], 26 14 13 Son [01121] of man [0120], when the land [0776] sinneth [02398] against me by trespassing [04603] grievously [04604], then will I stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon it, and will break [07665] the staff [04294] of the bread [03899] thereof, and will send [07971] famine [07458] upon it, and will cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it: 26 14 14 Though these three [07969] men [0582], Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], they should deliver [05337] but their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 14 15 If [03863] I cause noisome [07451] beasts [02416] to pass through [05674] the land [0776], and they spoil [07921] it, so that it be desolate [08077], that no man may pass through [05674] because [06440] of the beasts [02416]: 26 14 16 Though these three [07969] men [0582] were in it [08432], as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], they shall deliver [05337] neither sons [01121] nor daughters [01323]; they only shall be delivered [05337], but the land [0776] shall be desolate [08077]. 26 14 17 Or if I bring [0935] a sword [02719] upon that land [0776], and say [0559], Sword [02719], go through [05674] the land [0776]; so that I cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it: 26 14 18 Though these three [07969] men [0582] were in it [08432], as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], they shall deliver [05337] neither sons [01121] nor daughters [01323], but they only shall be delivered [05337] themselves. 26 14 19 Or if I send [07971] a pestilence [01698] into that land [0776], and pour out [08210] my fury [02534] upon it in blood [01818], to cut off [03772] from it man [0120] and beast [0929]: 26 14 20 Though Noah [05146], Daniel [01840], and Job [0347], were in it [08432], as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], they shall deliver [05337] neither son [01121] nor [0518] daughter [01323]; they shall but deliver [05337] their own souls [05315] by their righteousness [06666]. 26 14 21 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; How much more when I send [07971] my four [0702] sore [07451] judgments [08201] upon Jerusalem [03389], the sword [02719], and the famine [07458], and the noisome [07451] beast [02416], and the pestilence [01698], to cut off [03772] from it man [0120] and beast [0929]? 26 14 22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left [03498] a remnant [06413] that shall be brought forth [03318], both sons [01121] and daughters [01323]: behold, they shall come forth [03318] unto you, and ye shall see [07200] their way [01870] and their doings [05949]: and ye shall be comforted [05162] concerning the evil [07451] that I have brought [0935] upon Jerusalem [03389], even concerning all that I have brought [0935] upon it. 26 14 23 And they shall comfort [05162] you, when ye see [07200] their ways [01870] and their doings [05949]: and ye shall know [03045] that I have not done [06213] without cause [02600] all that I have done [06213] in it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 15 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 15 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], What is the vine [01612] tree [06086] more than any tree [06086], or than a branch [02156] which is among the trees [06086] of the forest [03293]? 26 15 3 Shall wood [06086] be taken [03947] thereof to do [06213] any work [04399]? or will men take [03947] a pin [03489] of it to hang [08518] any vessel [03627] thereon? 26 15 4 Behold, it is cast [05414] into the fire [0784] for fuel [0402]; the fire [0784] devoureth [0398] both [08147] the ends [07098] of it, and the midst [08432] of it is burned [02787]. Is it meet [06743] for any work [04399]? 26 15 5 Behold, when it was whole [08549], it was meet [06213] for no work [04399]: how much less shall it be meet [06213] yet for any work [04399], when the fire [0784] hath devoured [0398] it, and it is burned [02787]? 26 15 6 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; As the vine [01612] tree [06086] among the trees [06086] of the forest [03293], which I have given [05414] to the fire [0784] for fuel [0402], so will I give [05414] the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]. 26 15 7 And I will set [05414] my face [06440] against them; they shall go out [03318] from one fire [0784], and another fire [0784] shall devour [0398] them; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I set [07760] my face [06440] against them. 26 15 8 And I will make [05414] the land [0776] desolate [08077], because they have committed [04603] a trespass [04604], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 16 1 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 16 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], cause Jerusalem [03389] to know [03045] her abominations [08441], 26 16 3 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto Jerusalem [03389]; Thy birth [04351] and thy nativity [04138] is of the land [0776] of Canaan [03669]; thy father [01] was an Amorite [0567], and thy mother [0517] an Hittite [02850]. 26 16 4 And as for thy nativity [04138], in the day [03117] thou wast born [03205] thy navel [08270] was not cut [03772], neither wast thou washed [07364] in water [04325] to supple [04935] thee; thou wast not salted [04414] at all [04414], nor swaddled [02853] at all [02853]. 26 16 5 None eye [05869] pitied [02347] thee, to do [06213] any [0259] of these unto thee, to have compassion [02550] upon thee; but thou wast cast out [07993] in the open [06440] field [07704], to the lothing [01604] of thy person [05315], in the day [03117] that thou wast born [03205]. 26 16 6 And when I passed [05674] by thee, and saw [07200] thee polluted [0947] in thine own blood [01818], I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421]; yea, I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421]. 26 16 7 I have caused [05414] thee to multiply [07233] as the bud [06780] of the field [07704], and thou hast increased [07235] and waxen great [01431], and thou art come [0935] to excellent [05716] ornaments [05716]: thy breasts [07699] are fashioned [03559], and thine hair [08181] is grown [06779], whereas thou wast naked [05903] and bare [06181]. 26 16 8 Now when I passed [05674] by thee, and looked [07200] upon thee, behold, thy time [06256] was the time [06256] of love [01730]; and I spread [06566] my skirt [03671] over thee, and covered [03680] thy nakedness [06172]: yea, I sware [07650] unto thee, and entered [0935] into a covenant [01285] with thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and thou becamest mine. 26 16 9 Then washed [07364] I thee with water [04325]; yea, I throughly washed away [07857] thy blood [01818] from thee, and I anointed [05480] thee with oil [08081]. 26 16 10 I clothed [03847] thee also with broidered work [07553], and shod [05274] thee with badgers' skin [08476], and I girded [02280] thee about with fine linen [08336], and I covered [03680] thee with silk [04897]. 26 16 11 I decked [05710] thee also with ornaments [05716], and I put [05414] bracelets [06781] upon thy hands [03027], and a chain [07242] on thy neck [01627]. 26 16 12 And I put [05414] a jewel [05141] on thy forehead [0639], and earrings [05694] in thine ears [0241], and a beautiful [08597] crown [05850] upon thine head [07218]. 26 16 13 Thus wast thou decked [05710] with gold [02091] and silver [03701]; and thy raiment [04403] was of fine linen [08336] [08336], and silk [04897], and broidered work [07553]; thou didst eat [0398] fine flour [05560], and honey [01706], and oil [08081]: and thou wast exceeding [03966] beautiful [03302], and thou didst prosper [06743] into a kingdom [04410]. 26 16 14 And thy renown [08034] went forth [03318] among the heathen [01471] for thy beauty [03308]: for it was perfect [03632] through my comeliness [01926], which I had put [07760] upon thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 16 15 But thou didst trust [0982] in thine own beauty [03308], and playedst the harlot [02181] because of thy renown [08034], and pouredst out [08210] thy fornications [08457] on every one that passed by [05674]; his it was. 26 16 16 And of thy garments [0899] thou didst take [03947], and deckedst [06213] thy high places [01116] with divers colours [02921], and playedst the harlot [02181] thereupon: the like things shall not come [0935], neither shall it be so. 26 16 17 Thou hast also taken [03947] thy fair [08597] jewels [03627] of my gold [02091] and of my silver [03701], which I had given [05414] thee, and madest [06213] to thyself images [06754] of men [02145], and didst commit whoredom [02181] with them, 26 16 18 And tookest [03947] thy broidered [07553] garments [0899], and coveredst [03680] them: and thou hast set [05414] mine oil [08081] and mine incense [07004] before [06440] them. 26 16 19 My meat [03899] also which I gave [05414] thee, fine flour [05560], and oil [08081], and honey [01706], wherewith I fed [0398] thee, thou hast even set [05414] it before [06440] them for a sweet [05207] savour [07381]: and thus it was, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 16 20 Moreover thou hast taken [03947] thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323], whom thou hast borne [03205] unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed [02076] unto them to be devoured [0398]. Is this of thy whoredoms [08457] a small matter [04592], 26 16 21 That thou hast slain [07819] my children [01121], and delivered [05414] them to cause them to pass through [05674] the fire for them? 26 16 22 And in all thine abominations [08441] and thy whoredoms [08457] thou hast not remembered [02142] the days [03117] of thy youth [05271], when thou wast naked [05903] and bare [06181], and wast polluted [0947] in thy blood [01818]. 26 16 23 And it came to pass after [0310] all thy wickedness [07451], (woe [0188], woe [0188] unto thee! saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069];) 26 16 24 That thou hast also built [01129] unto thee an eminent place [01354], and hast made [06213] thee an high place [07413] in every street [07339]. 26 16 25 Thou hast built [01129] thy high place [07413] at every head [07218] of the way [01870], and hast made thy beauty [03308] to be abhorred [08581], and hast opened [06589] thy feet [07272] to every one that passed by [05674], and multiplied [07235] thy whoredoms [08457]. 26 16 26 Thou hast also committed fornication [02181] with the Egyptians [01121] [04714] thy neighbours [07934], great [01432] of flesh [01320]; and hast increased [07235] thy whoredoms [08457], to provoke me to anger [03707]. 26 16 27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out [05186] my hand [03027] over thee, and have diminished [01639] thine ordinary [02706] food, and delivered [05414] thee unto the will [05315] of them that hate [08130] thee, the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430], which are ashamed [03637] of thy lewd [02154] way [01870]. 26 16 28 Thou hast played the whore [02181] also with the Assyrians [01121] [0804], because [01115] thou wast unsatiable [07646]; yea, thou hast played the harlot [02181] with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied [07654]. 26 16 29 Thou hast moreover multiplied [07235] thy fornication [08457] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] unto Chaldea [03778]; and yet thou wast not satisfied [07646] herewith [02063]. 26 16 30 How weak [0535] is thine heart [03826], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], seeing thou doest [06213] all these things, the work [04639] of an imperious [07986] whorish [02181] woman [0802]; 26 16 31 In that thou buildest [01129] thine eminent place [01354] in the head [07218] of every way [01870], and makest [06213] thine high place [07413] in every street [07339]; and hast not been as an harlot [02181], in that thou scornest [07046] hire [0868]; 26 16 32 But as a wife [0802] that committeth adultery [05003], which taketh [03947] strangers [02114] instead of her husband [0376]! 26 16 33 They give [05414] gifts [05078] to all whores [02181]: but thou givest [05414] thy gifts [05083] to all thy lovers [0157], and hirest [07809] them, that they may come [0935] unto thee on every side [05439] for thy whoredom [08457]. 26 16 34 And the contrary [02016] is in thee from other women [0802] in thy whoredoms [08457], whereas none followeth [0310] thee to commit whoredoms [02181]: and in that thou givest [05414] a reward [0868], and no reward [0868] is given [05414] unto thee, therefore thou art [01961] contrary [02016]. 26 16 35 Wherefore, O harlot [02181], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: 26 16 36 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thy filthiness [05178] was poured out [08210], and thy nakedness [06172] discovered [01540] through thy whoredoms [08457] with thy lovers [0157], and with all the idols [01544] of thy abominations [08441], and by the blood [01818] of thy children [01121], which thou didst give [05414] unto them; 26 16 37 Behold, therefore I will gather [06908] all thy lovers [0157], with whom thou hast taken pleasure [06149], and all them that thou hast loved [0157], with all them that thou hast hated [08130]; I will even gather [06908] them round about [05439] against thee, and will discover [01540] thy nakedness [06172] unto them, that they may see [07200] all thy nakedness [06172]. 26 16 38 And I will judge [08199] thee, as women that break wedlock [05003] and shed [08210] blood [01818] are judged [04941]; and I will give [05414] thee blood [01818] in fury [02534] and jealousy [07068]. 26 16 39 And I will also give [05414] thee into their hand [03027], and they shall throw down [02040] thine eminent place [01354], and shall break down [05422] thy high places [07413]: they shall strip [06584] thee also of thy clothes [0899], and shall take [03947] thy fair [08597] jewels [03627], and leave [03240] thee naked [05903] and bare [06181]. 26 16 40 They shall also bring up [05927] a company [06951] against thee, and they shall stone [07275] thee with stones [068], and thrust thee through [01333] with their swords [02719]. 26 16 41 And they shall burn [08313] thine houses [01004] with fire [0784], and execute [06213] judgments [08201] upon thee in the sight [05869] of many [07227] women [0802]: and I will cause thee to cease [07673] from playing the harlot [02181], and thou also shalt give [05414] no hire [0868] any more. 26 16 42 So will I make my fury [02534] toward thee to rest [05117], and my jealousy [07068] shall depart [05493] from thee, and I will be quiet [08252], and will be no more angry [03707]. 26 16 43 Because thou hast not remembered [02142] the days [03117] of thy youth [05271], but hast fretted [07264] me in all these things; behold [01887], therefore I also will recompense [05414] thy way [01870] upon thine head [07218], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: and thou shalt not commit [06213] this lewdness [02154] above all thine abominations [08441]. 26 16 44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs [04911] shall use this proverb [04911] against thee, saying [0559], As is the mother [0517], so is her daughter [01323]. 26 16 45 Thou art thy mother's [0517] daughter [01323], that lotheth [01602] her husband [0376] and her children [01121]; and thou art the sister [0269] of thy sisters [0269], which lothed [01602] their husbands [0582] and their children [01121]: your mother [0517] was an Hittite [02850], and your father [01] an Amorite [0567]. 26 16 46 And thine elder [01419] sister [0269] is Samaria [08111], she and her daughters [01323] that dwell [03427] at thy left hand [08040]: and thy younger [06996] sister [0269], that dwelleth [03427] at thy right hand [03225], is Sodom [05467] and her daughters [01323]. 26 16 47 Yet hast thou not walked [01980] after their ways [01870], nor done [06213] after their abominations [08441]: but, as if that were a very [06985] little [04592] [06962] thing, thou wast corrupted [07843] more than they [02004] in all thy ways [01870]. 26 16 48 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Sodom [05467] thy sister [0269] hath not done [06213], she nor her daughters [01323], as thou hast done [06213], thou and thy daughters [01323]. 26 16 49 Behold, this was the iniquity [05771] of thy sister [0269] Sodom [05467], pride [01347], fulness [07653] of bread [03899], and abundance [07962] of idleness [08252] was in her and in her daughters [01323], neither did she strengthen [02388] the hand [03027] of the poor [06041] and needy [034]. 26 16 50 And they were haughty [01361], and committed [06213] abomination [08441] before [06440] me: therefore I took them away [05493] as I saw [07200] good. 26 16 51 Neither hath Samaria [08111] committed [02398] half [02677] of thy sins [02403]; but thou hast multiplied [07235] thine abominations [08441] more than they [02007], and hast justified [06663] thy sisters [0269] in all thine abominations [08441] which thou hast done [06213]. 26 16 52 Thou also, which hast judged [06419] thy sisters [0269], bear [05375] thine own shame [03639] for thy sins [02403] that thou hast committed more abominable [08581] than they [02004]: they are more righteous [06663] than thou: yea, be thou confounded [0954] also, and bear [05375] thy shame [03639], in that thou hast justified [06663] thy sisters [0269]. 26 16 53 When I shall bring again [07725] their captivity [07622] [07622], the captivity [07622] [07622] of Sodom [05467] and her daughters [01323], and the captivity [07622] [07622] of Samaria [08111] and her daughters [01323], then will I bring again the captivity [07622] [07622] of thy captives [07622] in the midst [08432] of them: 26 16 54 That thou mayest bear [05375] thine own shame [03639], and mayest be confounded [03637] in all that thou hast done [06213], in that thou art a comfort [05162] unto them. 26 16 55 When thy sisters [0269], Sodom [05467] and her daughters [01323], shall return [07725] to their former estate [06927], and Samaria [08111] and her daughters [01323] shall return [07725] to their former estate [06927], then thou and thy daughters [01323] shall return [07725] to your former estate [06927]. 26 16 56 For thy sister [0269] Sodom [05467] was not mentioned [08052] by thy mouth [06310] in the day [03117] of thy pride [01347], 26 16 57 Before thy wickedness [07451] was discovered [01540], as at the time [06256] of thy reproach [02781] of the daughters [01323] of Syria [0758], and all that are round about [05439] her, the daughters [01323] of the Philistines [06430], which despise [07590] thee round about [05439]. 26 16 58 Thou hast borne [05375] thy lewdness [02154] and thine abominations [08441], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 26 16 59 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will even deal [06213] with thee as thou hast done [06213], which hast despised [0959] the oath [0423] in breaking [06565] the covenant [01285]. 26 16 60 Nevertheless I will remember [02142] my covenant [01285] with thee in the days [03117] of thy youth [05271], and I will establish [06965] unto thee an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285]. 26 16 61 Then thou shalt remember [02142] thy ways [01870], and be ashamed [03637], when thou shalt receive [03947] thy sisters [0269], thine elder [01419] and thy younger [06996]: and I will give [05414] them unto thee for daughters [01323], but not by thy covenant [01285]. 26 16 62 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with thee; and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]: 26 16 63 That thou mayest remember [02142], and be confounded [0954], and never open [06610] thy mouth [06310] any more because [06440] of thy shame [03639], when I am pacified [03722] toward thee for all that thou hast done [06213], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 17 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 17 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], put forth [02330] a riddle [02420], and speak [04911] a parable [04912] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; 26 17 3 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; A great [01419] eagle [05404] with great [01419] wings [03671], longwinged [083] [0750], full [04392] of feathers [05133], which had divers colours [07553], came [0935] unto Lebanon [03844], and took [03947] the highest branch [06788] of the cedar [0730]: 26 17 4 He cropped off [06998] the top [07218] of his young twigs [03242], and carried [0935] it into a land [0776] of traffick [03667]; he set [07760] it in a city [05892] of merchants [07402]. 26 17 5 He took [03947] also of the seed [02233] of the land [0776], and planted [05414] it in a fruitful [02233] field [07704]; he placed [03947] it by great [07227] waters [04325], and set [07760] it as a willow tree [06851]. 26 17 6 And it grew [06779], and became a spreading [05628] vine [01612] of low [08217] stature [06967], whose branches [01808] turned [06437] toward him, and the roots [08328] thereof were under him: so it became a vine [01612], and brought forth [06213] branches [0905], and shot [07971] forth sprigs [06288]. 26 17 7 There was also another [0259] great [01419] eagle [05404] with great [01419] wings [03671] and many [07227] feathers [05133]: and, behold, this vine [01612] did bend [03719] her roots [08328] toward him, and shot forth [07971] her branches [01808] toward him, that he might water [08248] it by the furrows [06170] of her plantation [04302]. 26 17 8 It was planted [08362] in a good [02896] soil [07704] by great [07227] waters [04325], that it might bring forth [06213] branches [06057], and that it might bear [05375] fruit [06529], that it might be a goodly [0155] vine [01612]. 26 17 9 Say [0559] thou, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Shall it prosper [06743]? shall he not pull up [05423] the roots [08328] thereof, and cut off [07082] the fruit [06529] thereof, that it wither [03001]? it shall wither [03001] in all the leaves [02964] of her spring [06780], even without great [01419] power [02220] or many [07227] people [05971] to pluck it up [05375] by the roots [08328] thereof. 26 17 10 Yea, behold, being planted [08362], shall it prosper [06743]? shall it not utterly [03001] wither [03001], when the east [06921] wind [07307] toucheth [05060] it? it shall wither [03001] in the furrows [06170] where it grew [06780]. 26 17 11 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 17 12 Say [0559] now to the rebellious [04805] house [01004], Know [03045] ye not what these things mean? tell [0559] them, Behold, the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] is come [0935] to Jerusalem [03389], and hath taken [03947] the king [04428] thereof, and the princes [08269] thereof, and led [0935] them with him to Babylon [0894]; 26 17 13 And hath taken [03947] of the king's [04410] seed [02233], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] with him, and hath taken [0935] an oath [0423] of him: he hath also taken [03947] the mighty [0352] of the land [0776]: 26 17 14 That the kingdom [04467] might be base [08217], that it might not lift itself up [05375], but that by keeping [08104] of his covenant [01285] it might stand [05975]. 26 17 15 But he rebelled [04775] against him in sending [07971] his ambassadors [04397] into Egypt [04714], that they might give [05414] him horses [05483] and much [07227] people [05971]. Shall he prosper [06743]? shall he escape [04422] that doeth [06213] such things? or shall he break [06565] the covenant [01285], and be delivered [04422]? 26 17 16 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely in the place [04725] where the king [04428] dwelleth that made him king [04427], whose oath [0423] he despised [0959], and whose covenant [01285] he brake [06565], even with him in the midst [08432] of Babylon [0894] he shall die [04191]. 26 17 17 Neither shall Pharaoh [06547] with his mighty [01419] army [02428] and great [07227] company [06951] make [06213] for him in the war [04421], by casting up [08210] mounts [05550], and building [01129] forts [01785], to cut off [03772] many [07227] persons [05315]: 26 17 18 Seeing he despised [0959] the oath [0423] by breaking [06565] the covenant [01285], when, lo, he had given [05414] his hand [03027], and hath done [06213] all these things, he shall not escape [04422]. 26 17 19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; As I live [02416], surely mine oath [0423] that he hath despised [0959], and my covenant [01285] that he hath broken [06331], even it will I recompense [05414] upon his own head [07218]. 26 17 20 And I will spread [06566] my net [07568] upon him, and he shall be taken [08610] in my snare [04686], and I will bring [0935] him to Babylon [0894], and will plead [08199] with him there for his trespass [04603] that he hath trespassed [04604] against me. 26 17 21 And all his fugitives [04015] with all his bands [0102] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], and they that remain [07604] shall be scattered [06566] toward all winds [07307]: and ye shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 17 22 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also take [03947] of the highest branch [06788] of the high [07311] cedar [0730], and will set [05414] it; I will crop off [06998] from the top [07218] of his young twigs [03127] a tender one [07390], and will plant [08362] it upon an high [01364] mountain [02022] and eminent [08524]: 26 17 23 In the mountain [02022] of the height [04791] of Israel [03478] will I plant [08362] it: and it shall bring forth [05375] boughs [06057], and bear [06213] fruit [06529], and be a goodly [0117] cedar [0730]: and under it shall dwell [07931] all fowl [06833] of every wing [03671]; in the shadow [06738] of the branches [01808] thereof shall they dwell [07931]. 26 17 24 And all the trees [06086] of the field [07704] shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have brought down [08213] the high [01364] tree [06086], have exalted [01361] the low [08217] tree [06086], have dried [03001] up the green [03892] tree [06086], and have made the dry [03002] tree [06086] to flourish [06524]: I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] and have done [06213] it. 26 18 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me again, saying [0559], 26 18 2 What mean ye, that ye use [04911] this proverb [04912] concerning the land [0127] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The fathers [01] have eaten [0398] sour grapes [01155], and the children's [01121] teeth [08127] are set on edge [06949]? 26 18 3 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], ye shall not have occasion any more to use [04911] this proverb [04912] in Israel [03478]. 26 18 4 Behold, all souls [05315] are mine; as the soul [05315] of the father [01], so also the soul [05315] of the son [01121] is mine: the soul [05315] that sinneth [02398], it shall die [04191]. 26 18 5 But if a man [0376] be just [06662], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], 26 18 6 And hath not eaten [0398] upon the mountains [02022], neither hath lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869] to the idols [01544] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], neither hath defiled [02930] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], neither hath come near [07126] to a menstruous [05079] woman [0802], 26 18 7 And hath not oppressed [03238] any [0376], but hath restored [07725] to the debtor [02326] his pledge [02258], hath spoiled [01497] none by violence [01500], hath given [05414] his bread [03899] to the hungry [07457], and hath covered [03680] the naked [05903] with a garment [0899]; 26 18 8 He that hath not given forth [05414] upon usury [05392], neither hath taken [03947] any increase [08636], that hath withdrawn [07725] his hand [03027] from iniquity [05766], hath executed [06213] true [0571] judgment [04941] between man [0376] and man [0376], 26 18 9 Hath walked [01980] in my statutes [02708], and hath kept [08104] my judgments [04941], to deal [06213] truly [0571]; he is just [06662], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 18 10 If he beget [03205] a son [01121] that is a robber [06530], a shedder [08210] of blood [01818], and that doeth [06213] the like [0251] to any one [0259] of these things, 26 18 11 And that doeth [06213] not any of those duties, but even hath eaten [0398] upon the mountains [02022], and defiled [02930] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], 26 18 12 Hath oppressed [03238] the poor [06041] and needy [034], hath spoiled [01497] by violence [01500], hath not restored [07725] the pledge [02258], and hath lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869] to the idols [01544], hath committed [06213] abomination [08441], 26 18 13 Hath given forth [05414] upon usury [05392], and hath taken [03947] increase [08636]: shall he then live [02425]? he shall not live [02421]: he hath done [06213] all these abominations [08441]; he shall surely [04191] die [04191]; his blood [01818] shall be upon him. 26 18 14 Now, lo, if he beget [03205] a son [01121], that seeth [07200] all his father's [01] sins [02403] which he hath done [06213], and considereth [07200], and doeth [06213] not such like [02004], 26 18 15 That hath not eaten [0398] upon the mountains [02022], neither hath lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869] to the idols [01544] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], hath not defiled [02930] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802], 26 18 16 Neither hath oppressed [03238] any [0376], hath not withholden [02254] the pledge [02258], neither hath spoiled [01497] by violence [01500], but hath given [05414] his bread [03899] to the hungry [07457], and hath covered [03680] the naked [05903] with a garment [0899], 26 18 17 That hath taken off [07725] his hand [03027] from the poor [06041], that hath not received [03947] usury [05392] nor increase [08636], hath executed [06213] my judgments [04941], hath walked [01980] in my statutes [02708]; he shall not die [04191] for the iniquity [05771] of his father [01], he shall surely [02421] live [02421]. 26 18 18 As for his father [01], because he cruelly [06233] oppressed [06231], spoiled [01497] his brother [0251] by violence [01499], and did [06213] that which is not good [02896] among [08432] his people [05971], lo, even he shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]. 26 18 19 Yet say [0559] ye, Why? doth not the son [01121] bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the father [01]? When the son [01121] hath done [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], and hath kept [08104] all my statutes [02708], and hath done [06213] them, he shall surely [02421] live [02421]. 26 18 20 The soul [05315] that sinneth [02398], it shall die [04191]. The son [01121] shall not bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the father [01], neither shall the father [01] bear [05375] the iniquity [05771] of the son [01121]: the righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] shall be upon him, and the wickedness [07564] of the wicked [07563] shall be upon him. 26 18 21 But if the wicked [07563] will turn [07725] from all his sins [02403] that he hath committed [06213], and keep [08104] all my statutes [02708], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191]. 26 18 22 All his transgressions [06588] that he hath committed [06213], they shall not be mentioned [02142] unto him: in his righteousness [06666] that he hath done [06213] he shall live [02421]. 26 18 23 Have I any pleasure [02654] at all [02654] that the wicked [07563] should die [04194]? saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: and not that he should return [07725] from his ways [01870], and live [02421]? 26 18 24 But when the righteous [06662] turneth away [07725] from his righteousness [06666], and committeth [06213] iniquity [05766], and doeth [06213] according to all the abominations [08441] that the wicked [07563] man doeth [06213], shall he live [02425]? All his righteousness [06666] that he hath done [06213] shall not be mentioned [02142]: in his trespass [04603] that he hath trespassed [04604], and in his sin [02403] that he hath sinned [02398], in them shall he die [04191]. 26 18 25 Yet ye say [0559], The way [01870] of the Lord [0136] is not equal [08505]. Hear [08085] now, O house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Is not my way [01870] equal [08505]? are not your ways [01870] unequal [08505]? 26 18 26 When a righteous [06662] man turneth away [07725] from his righteousness [06666], and committeth [06213] iniquity [05766], and dieth [04191] in them; for his iniquity [05766] that he hath done [06213] shall he die [04191]. 26 18 27 Again, when the wicked [07563] man turneth away [07725] from his wickedness [07564] that he hath committed [06213], and doeth [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall save [02421] his soul [05315] alive [02421]. 26 18 28 Because he considereth [07200], and turneth away [07725] from all his transgressions [06588] that he hath committed [06213], he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191]. 26 18 29 Yet saith [0559] the house [01004] of Israel [03478], The way [01870] of the Lord [0136] is not equal [08505]. O house [01004] of Israel [03478], are not my ways [01870] equal [08505]? are not your ways [01870] unequal [08505]? 26 18 30 Therefore I will judge [08199] you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], every one [0376] according to his ways [01870], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. Repent [07725], and turn [07725] yourselves from all your transgressions [06588]; so iniquity [05771] shall not be your ruin [04383]. 26 18 31 Cast away [07993] from you all your transgressions [06588], whereby ye have transgressed [06586]; and make [06213] you a new [02319] heart [03820] and a new [02319] spirit [07307]: for why will ye die [04191], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]? 26 18 32 For I have no pleasure [02654] in the death [04194] of him that dieth [04191], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: wherefore turn [07725] yourselves, and live [02421] ye. 26 19 1 Moreover take thou up [05375] a lamentation [07015] for the princes [05387] of Israel [03478], 26 19 2 And say [0559], What is thy mother [0517]? A lioness [03833]: she lay down [07257] among lions [0738], she nourished [07235] her whelps [01482] among [08432] young lions [03715]. 26 19 3 And she brought up [05927] one [0259] of her whelps [01482]: it became a young lion [03715], and it learned [03925] to catch [02963] the prey [02964]; it devoured [0398] men [0120]. 26 19 4 The nations [01471] also heard [08085] of him; he was taken [08610] in their pit [07845], and they brought [0935] him with chains [02397] unto the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 19 5 Now when she saw [07200] that she had waited [03176], and her hope [08615] was lost [06], then she took [03947] another [0259] of her whelps [01482], and made [07760] him a young lion [03715]. 26 19 6 And he went up and down [01980] among [08432] the lions [0738], he became a young lion [03715], and learned [03925] to catch [02963] the prey [02964], and devoured [0398] men [0120]. 26 19 7 And he knew [03045] their desolate palaces [0490], and he laid waste [02717] their cities [05892]; and the land [0776] was desolate [03456], and the fulness [04393] thereof, by the noise [06963] of his roaring [07581]. 26 19 8 Then the nations [01471] set [05414] against him on every side [05439] from the provinces [04082], and spread [06566] their net [07568] over him: he was taken [08610] in their pit [07845]. 26 19 9 And they put [05414] him in ward [05474] in chains [02397], and brought [0935] him to the king [04428] of Babylon [0894]: they brought [0935] him into holds [04685], that his voice [06963] should no more be heard [08085] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478]. 26 19 10 Thy mother [0517] is like a vine [01612] in thy blood [01818] [01818], planted [08362] by the waters [04325]: she was fruitful [06509] and full of branches [06058] by reason of many [07227] waters [04325]. 26 19 11 And she had strong [05797] rods [04294] for the sceptres [07626] of them that bare rule [04910], and her stature [06967] was exalted [01361] among the thick branches [05688], and she appeared [07200] in her height [01363] with the multitude [07230] of her branches [01808]. 26 19 12 But she was plucked up [05428] in fury [02534], she was cast down [07993] to the ground [0776], and the east [06921] wind [07307] dried up [03001] her fruit [06529]: her strong [05797] rods [04294] were broken [06561] and withered [03001]; the fire [0784] consumed [0398] them. 26 19 13 And now she is planted [08362] in the wilderness [04057], in a dry [06723] and thirsty [06772] ground [0776]. 26 19 14 And fire [0784] is gone out [03318] of a rod [04294] of her branches [0905], which hath devoured [0398] her fruit [06529], so that she hath no strong [05797] rod [04294] to be a sceptre [07626] to rule [04910]. This is a lamentation [07015], and shall be for a lamentation [07015]. 26 20 1 And it came to pass in the seventh [07637] year [08141], in the fifth [02549] month, the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], that certain [0582] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478] came [0935] to enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068], and sat [03427] before [06440] me. 26 20 2 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto me, saying [0559], 26 20 3 Son [01121] of man [0120], speak [01696] unto the elders [02205] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Are ye come [0935] to enquire [01875] of me? As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will not be enquired [01875] of by you. 26 20 4 Wilt thou judge [08199] them, son [01121] of man [0120], wilt thou judge [08199] them? cause them to know [03045] the abominations [08441] of their fathers [01]: 26 20 5 And say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In the day [03117] when I chose [0977] Israel [03478], and lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] unto the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and made myself known [03045] unto them in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], when I lifted [05375] up mine hand [03027] unto them, saying [0559], I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; 26 20 6 In the day [03117] that I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] unto them, to bring them forth [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] into a land [0776] that I had espied [08446] for them, flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], which is the glory [06643] of all lands [0776]: 26 20 7 Then said [0559] I unto them, Cast ye away [07993] every man [0376] the abominations [08251] of his eyes [05869], and defile [02930] not yourselves with the idols [01544] of Egypt [04714]: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 26 20 8 But they rebelled [04784] against me, and would [014] not hearken [08085] unto me: they did not every man [0376] cast away [07993] the abominations [08251] of their eyes [05869], neither did they forsake [05800] the idols [01544] of Egypt [04714]: then I said [0559], I will pour out [08210] my fury [02534] upon them, to accomplish [03615] my anger [0639] against them in the midst [08432] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 20 9 But I wrought [06213] for my name's [08034] sake, that it should not be polluted [02490] before [05869] the heathen [01471], among [08432] whom they were, in whose sight [05869] I made myself known [03045] unto them, in bringing them forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 20 10 Wherefore I caused them to go forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and brought [0935] them into the wilderness [04057]. 26 20 11 And I gave [05414] them my statutes [02708], and shewed [03045] them my judgments [04941], which if a man [0120] do [06213], he shall even live [02425] in them. 26 20 12 Moreover also I gave [05414] them my sabbaths [07676], to be a sign [0226] between me and them, that they might know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] that sanctify [06942] them. 26 20 13 But the house [01004] of Israel [03478] rebelled [04784] against me in the wilderness [04057]: they walked [01980] not in my statutes [02708], and they despised [03988] my judgments [04941], which if a man [0120] do [06213], he shall even live [02425] in them; and my sabbaths [07676] they greatly [03966] polluted [02490]: then I said [0559], I would pour out [08210] my fury [02534] upon them in the wilderness [04057], to consume [03615] them. 26 20 14 But I wrought [06213] for my name's [08034] sake, that it should not be polluted [02490] before [05869] the heathen [01471], in whose sight [05869] I brought them out [03318]. 26 20 15 Yet also I lifted up [05375] my hand [03027] unto them in the wilderness [04057], that I would not bring [0935] them into the land [0776] which I had given [05414] them, flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706], which is the glory [06643] of all lands [0776]; 26 20 16 Because they despised [03988] my judgments [04941], and walked [01980] not in my statutes [02708], but polluted [02490] my sabbaths [07676]: for their heart [03820] went [01980] after [0310] their idols [01544]. 26 20 17 Nevertheless mine eye [05869] spared [02347] them from destroying [07843] them, neither did I make [06213] an end [03617] of them in the wilderness [04057]. 26 20 18 But I said [0559] unto their children [01121] in the wilderness [04057], Walk [03212] ye not in the statutes [02706] of your fathers [01], neither observe [08104] their judgments [04941], nor defile [02930] yourselves with their idols [01544]: 26 20 19 I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]; walk [03212] in my statutes [02708], and keep [08104] my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them; 26 20 20 And hallow [06942] my sabbaths [07676]; and they shall be a sign [0226] between me and you, that ye may know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 26 20 21 Notwithstanding the children [01121] rebelled [04784] against me: they walked [01980] not in my statutes [02708], neither kept [08104] my judgments [04941] to do [06213] them, which if a man [0120] do [06213], he shall even live [02425] in them; they polluted [02490] my sabbaths [07676]: then I said [0559], I would pour out [08210] my fury [02534] upon them, to accomplish [03615] my anger [0639] against them in the wilderness [04057]. 26 20 22 Nevertheless I withdrew [07725] mine hand [03027], and wrought [06213] for my name's [08034] sake, that it should not be polluted [02490] in the sight [05869] of the heathen [01471], in whose sight [05869] I brought them forth [03318]. 26 20 23 I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] unto them also in the wilderness [04057], that I would scatter [06327] them among the heathen [01471], and disperse [02219] them through the countries [0776]; 26 20 24 Because they had not executed [06213] my judgments [04941], but had despised [03988] my statutes [02708], and had polluted [02490] my sabbaths [07676], and their eyes [05869] were after [0310] their fathers [01]' idols [01544]. 26 20 25 Wherefore I gave [05414] them also statutes [02706] that were not good [02896], and judgments [04941] whereby they should not live [02421]; 26 20 26 And I polluted [02930] them in their own gifts [04979], in that they caused to pass through [05674] the fire all that openeth [06363] the womb [07356], that I might make them desolate [08074], to the end that they might know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 20 27 Therefore, son [01121] of man [0120], speak [01696] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Yet in this your fathers [01] have blasphemed [01442] me, in that they have committed [04603] a trespass [04604] against me. 26 20 28 For when I had brought [0935] them into the land [0776], for the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it to them, then they saw [07200] every high [07311] hill [01389], and all the thick [05687] trees [06086], and they offered [02076] there their sacrifices [02077], and there they presented [05414] the provocation [03708] of their offering [07133]: there also they made [07760] their sweet [05207] savour [07381], and poured out [05258] there their drink offerings [05262]. 26 20 29 Then I said [0559] unto them, What is the high place [01116] whereunto ye go [0935]? And the name [08034] thereof is called [07121] Bamah [01117] unto this day [03117]. 26 20 30 Wherefore say [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Are ye polluted [02930] after the manner [01870] of your fathers [01]? and commit ye whoredom [02181] after [0310] their abominations [08251]? 26 20 31 For when ye offer [05375] your gifts [04979], when ye make your sons [01121] to pass through [05674] the fire [0784], ye pollute [02930] yourselves with all your idols [01544], even unto this day [03117]: and shall I be enquired [01875] of by you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478]? As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will not be enquired [01875] of by you. 26 20 32 And that which cometh [05927] into your mind [07307] shall not be at all, that ye say [0559], We will be [01961] as the heathen [01471], as the families [04940] of the countries [0776], to serve [08334] wood [06086] and stone [068]. 26 20 33 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210], will I rule [04427] over you: 26 20 34 And I will bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and will gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye are scattered [06327], with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and with a stretched out [05186] arm [02220], and with fury [02534] poured out [08210]. 26 20 35 And I will bring [0935] you into the wilderness [04057] of the people [05971], and there will I plead [08199] with you face [06440] to face [06440]. 26 20 36 Like as I pleaded [08199] with your fathers [01] in the wilderness [04057] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], so will I plead [08199] with you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 20 37 And I will cause you to pass [05674] under the rod [07626], and I will bring [0935] you into the bond [04562] of the covenant [01285]: 26 20 38 And I will purge out [01305] from among you the rebels [04775], and them that transgress [06586] against me: I will bring them forth [03318] out of the country [0776] where they sojourn [04033], and they shall not enter [0935] into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 20 39 As for you, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Go [03212] ye, serve [05647] ye every one [0376] his idols [01544], and hereafter [0310] also, if ye will not hearken [08085] unto me: but pollute [02490] ye my holy [06944] name [08034] no more with your gifts [04979], and with your idols [01544]. 26 20 40 For in mine holy [06944] mountain [02022], in the mountain [02022] of the height [04791] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], there shall all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], all of them in the land [0776], serve [05647] me: there will I accept [07521] them, and there will I require [01875] your offerings [08641], and the firstfruits [07225] of your oblations [04864], with all your holy things [06944]. 26 20 41 I will accept [07521] you with your sweet [05207] savour [07381], when I bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye have been scattered [06327]; and I will be sanctified [06942] in you before [05869] the heathen [01471]. 26 20 42 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall bring [0935] you into the land [0127] of Israel [03478], into the country [0776] for the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it to your fathers [01]. 26 20 43 And there shall ye remember [02142] your ways [01870], and all your doings [05949], wherein ye have been defiled [02930]; and ye shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for all your evils [07451] that ye have committed [06213]. 26 20 44 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have wrought [06213] with you for my name's [08034] sake, not according to your wicked [07451] ways [01870], nor according to your corrupt [07843] doings [05949], O ye house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 20 45 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 20 46 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] toward [01870] the south [08486], and drop [05197] thy word toward the south [01864], and prophesy [05012] against the forest [03293] of the south [05045] field [07704]; 26 20 47 And say [0559] to the forest [03293] of the south [05045], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in thee, and it shall devour [0398] every green [03892] tree [06086] in thee, and every dry [03002] tree [06086]: the flaming [03852] flame [07957] shall not be quenched [03518], and all faces [06440] from the south [05045] to the north [06828] shall be burned [06866] therein. 26 20 48 And all flesh [01320] shall see [07200] that I the LORD [03068] have kindled [01197] it: it shall not be quenched [03518]. 26 20 49 Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162] Lord [0136] GOD [03069]! they say [0559] of me, Doth he not speak [04911] parables [04912]? 26 21 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 21 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] toward Jerusalem [03389], and drop [05197] thy word toward the holy places [04720], and prophesy [05012] against the land [0127] of Israel [03478], 26 21 3 And say [0559] to the land [0127] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth [03318] my sword [02719] out of his sheath [08593], and will cut off [03772] from thee the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563]. 26 21 4 Seeing [03282] then that I will cut off [03772] from thee the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563], therefore shall my sword [02719] go forth [03318] out of his sheath [08593] against all flesh [01320] from the south [05045] to the north [06828]: 26 21 5 That all flesh [01320] may know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have drawn forth [03318] my sword [02719] out of his sheath [08593]: it shall not return [07725] any more. 26 21 6 Sigh [0584] therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], with the breaking [07670] of thy loins [04975]; and with bitterness [04814] sigh [0584] before their eyes [05869]. 26 21 7 And it shall be, when they say [0559] unto thee, Wherefore sighest [0584] thou? that thou shalt answer [0559], For the tidings [08052]; because it cometh [0935]: and every heart [03820] shall melt [04549], and all hands [03027] shall be feeble [07503], and every spirit [07307] shall faint [03543], and all knees [01290] shall be weak [03212] as water [04325]: behold, it cometh [0935], and shall be brought to pass [01961], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 21 8 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 21 9 Son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Say [0559], A sword [02719], a sword [02719] is sharpened [02300], and also furbished [04803]: 26 21 10 It is sharpened [02300] to make a sore [02874] slaughter [02873]; it is furbished [04178] that it may glitter [01300]: should [0176] we then make mirth [07797]? it contemneth [03988] the rod [07626] of my son [01121], as every tree [06086]. 26 21 11 And he hath given [05414] it to be furbished [04803], that it may be handled [03709] [08610]: this sword [02719] is sharpened [02300], and it is furbished [04178], to give [05414] it into the hand [03027] of the slayer [02026]. 26 21 12 Cry [02199] and howl [03213], son [01121] of man [0120]: for it shall be upon my people [05971], it shall be upon all the princes [05387] of Israel [03478]: terrors [04048] by reason of [0413] the sword [02719] shall be upon my people [05971]: smite [05606] therefore upon thy thigh [03409]. 26 21 13 Because it is a trial [0974], and what if the sword contemn [03988] even the rod [07626]? it shall be no more, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 21 14 Thou therefore, son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012], and smite [05221] thine hands [03709] [03709] together [05221], and let the sword [02719] be doubled [03717] the third [07992] time, the sword [02719] of the slain [02491]: it is the sword [02719] of the great [01419] men that are slain [02491], which entereth into their privy chambers [02314]. 26 21 15 I have set [05414] the point [019] of the sword [02719] against all their gates [08179], that their heart [03820] may faint [04127], and their ruins [04383] be multiplied [07235]: ah [0253]! it is made [06213] bright [01300], it is wrapped up [04593] for the slaughter [02874]. 26 21 16 Go thee one way or other [0258], either on [07760] the right hand [03231], or on the left [08041], whithersoever [0575] thy face [06440] is set [03259]. 26 21 17 I will also smite [05221] mine hands [03709] together [03709], and I will cause my fury [02534] to rest [05117]: I the LORD [03068] have said [01696] it. 26 21 18 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me again, saying [0559], 26 21 19 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], appoint [07760] thee two [08147] ways [01870], that the sword [02719] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] may come [0935]: both twain [08147] shall come forth [03318] out of one [0259] land [0776]: and choose [01254] thou a place [03027], choose [01254] it at the head [07218] of the way [01870] to the city [05892]. 26 21 20 Appoint [07760] a way [01870], that the sword [02719] may come [0935] to Rabbath [07237] of the Ammonites [01121] [05983], and to Judah [03063] in Jerusalem [03389] the defenced [01219]. 26 21 21 For the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] stood [05975] at the parting [0517] of the way [01870], at the head [07218] of the two [08147] ways [01870], to use [07080] divination [07081]: he made his arrows [02671] bright [07043], he consulted [07592] with images [08655], he looked [07200] in the liver [03516]. 26 21 22 At his right hand [03225] was the divination [07081] for Jerusalem [03389], to appoint [07760] captains [03733], to open [06605] the mouth [06310] in the slaughter [07524], to lift up [07311] the voice [06963] with shouting [08643], to appoint [07760] battering rams [03733] against the gates [08179], to cast [08210] a mount [05550], and to build [01129] a fort [01785]. 26 21 23 And it shall be unto them as a false [07723] divination [07080] in their sight [05869], to them that have sworn [07650] oaths [07621]: but he will call to remembrance [02142] the iniquity [05771], that they may be taken [08610]. 26 21 24 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because ye have made your iniquity [05771] to be remembered [02142], in that your transgressions [06588] are discovered [01540], so that in all your doings [05949] your sins [02403] do appear [07200]; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance [02142], ye shall be taken [08610] with the hand [03709]. 26 21 25 And thou, profane [02491] wicked [07563] prince [05387] of Israel [03478], whose day [03117] is come [0935], when [06256] iniquity [05771] shall have an end [07093], 26 21 26 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Remove [05493] the diadem [04701], and take off [07311] the crown [05850]: this shall not be the same [02063]: exalt [01361] him that is low [08217], and abase [08213] him that is high [01364]. 26 21 27 I will overturn [05754], overturn [05754], overturn [05754], it: and it shall be [07760] no more, until he come [0935] whose right [04941] it is; and I will give [05414] it him. 26 21 28 And thou, son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] concerning the Ammonites [01121] [05983], and concerning their reproach [02781]; even say [0559] thou, The sword [02719], the sword [02719] is drawn [06605]: for the slaughter [02874] it is furbished [04803], to consume [0398] because of the glittering [01300]: 26 21 29 Whiles they see [02372] vanity [07723] unto thee, whiles they divine [07080] a lie [03577] unto thee, to bring [05414] thee upon the necks [06677] of them that are slain [02491], of the wicked [07563], whose day [03117] is come [0935], when [06256] their iniquity [05771] shall have an end [07093]. 26 21 30 Shall I cause it to return [07725] into his sheath [08593]? I will judge [08199] thee in the place [04725] where thou wast created [01254], in the land [0776] of thy nativity [04351]. 26 21 31 And I will pour out [08210] mine indignation [02195] upon thee, I will blow [06315] against thee in the fire [0784] of my wrath [05678], and deliver [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of brutish [01197] men [0582], and skilful [02796] to destroy [04889]. 26 21 32 Thou shalt be for fuel [0402] to the fire [0784]; thy blood [01818] shall be in the midst [08432] of the land [0776]; thou shalt be no more remembered [02142]: for I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 22 1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 22 2 Now, thou son [01121] of man [0120], wilt thou judge [08199], wilt thou judge [08199] the bloody [01818] city [05892]? yea, thou shalt shew [03045] her all her abominations [08441]. 26 22 3 Then say [0559] thou, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], The city [05892] sheddeth [08210] blood [01818] in the midst [08432] of it, that her time [06256] may come [0935], and maketh [06213] idols [01544] against herself to defile [02930] herself. 26 22 4 Thou art become guilty [0816] in thy blood [01818] that thou hast shed [08210]; and hast defiled [02930] thyself in thine idols [01544] which thou hast made [06213]; and thou hast caused thy days [03117] to draw near [07126], and art come [0935] even unto thy years [08141]: therefore have I made [05414] thee a reproach [02781] unto the heathen [01471], and a mocking [07048] to all countries [0776]. 26 22 5 Those that be near [07138], and those that be far [07350] from thee, shall mock [07046] thee, which art infamous [02931] [08034] and much [07227] vexed [04103]. 26 22 6 Behold, the princes [05387] of Israel [03478], every one [0376] were in thee to their power [02220] to shed [08210] blood [01818]. 26 22 7 In thee have they set light [07043] by father [01] and mother [0517]: in the midst [08432] of thee have they dealt [06213] by oppression [06233] with the stranger [01616]: in thee have they vexed [03238] the fatherless [03490] and the widow [0490]. 26 22 8 Thou hast despised [0959] mine holy things [06944], and hast profaned [02490] my sabbaths [07676]. 26 22 9 In thee are men [0582] that carry tales [07400] to shed [08210] blood [01818]: and in thee they eat [0398] upon the mountains [02022]: in the midst [08432] of thee they commit [06213] lewdness [02154]. 26 22 10 In thee have they discovered [01540] their fathers [01]' nakedness [06172]: in thee have they humbled [06031] her that was set apart [05079] for pollution [02931]. 26 22 11 And one [0376] hath committed [06213] abomination [08441] with his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]; and another [0376] hath lewdly [02154] defiled [02930] his daughter in law [03618]; and another [0376] in thee hath humbled [06031] his sister [0269], his father's [01] daughter [01323]. 26 22 12 In thee have they taken [03947] gifts [07810] to shed [08210] blood [01818]; thou hast taken [03947] usury [05392] and increase [08636], and thou hast greedily gained [01214] of thy neighbours [07453] by extortion [06233], and hast forgotten [07911] me, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 22 13 Behold, therefore I have smitten [05221] mine hand [03709] at thy dishonest gain [01215] which thou hast made [06213], and at thy blood [01818] which hath been in the midst [08432] of thee. 26 22 14 Can thine heart [03820] endure [05975], or can thine hands [03027] be strong [02388], in the days [03117] that I shall deal [06213] with thee? I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it, and will do [06213] it. 26 22 15 And I will scatter [06327] thee among the heathen [01471], and disperse [02219] thee in the countries [0776], and will consume [08552] thy filthiness [02932] out of thee. 26 22 16 And thou shalt take thine inheritance [02490] [05157] in thyself in the sight [05869] of the heathen [01471], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 22 17 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 22 18 Son [01121] of man [0120], the house [01004] of Israel [03478] is to me become dross [05509]: all they are brass [05178], and tin [0913], and iron [01270], and lead [05777], in the midst [08432] of the furnace [03564]; they are even the dross [05509] of silver [03701]. 26 22 19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because ye are all become dross [05509], behold, therefore I will gather [06908] you into the midst [08432] of Jerusalem [03389]. 26 22 20 As they gather [06910] silver [03701], and brass [05178], and iron [01270], and lead [05777], and tin [0913], into the midst [08432] of the furnace [03564], to blow [05301] the fire [0784] upon it, to melt [05413] it; so will I gather [06908] you in mine anger [0639] and in my fury [02534], and I will leave [03240] you there, and melt [05413] you. 26 22 21 Yea, I will gather [03664] you, and blow [05301] upon you in the fire [0784] of my wrath [05678], and ye shall be melted [05413] in the midst [08432] thereof. 26 22 22 As silver [03701] is melted [02046] in the midst [08432] of the furnace [03564], so shall ye be melted [05413] in the midst [08432] thereof; and ye shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have poured out [08210] my fury [02534] upon you. 26 22 23 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 22 24 Son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto her, Thou art the land [0776] that is not cleansed [02891], nor rained [01656] upon in the day [03117] of indignation [02195]. 26 22 25 There is a conspiracy [07195] of her prophets [05030] in the midst [08432] thereof, like a roaring [07580] lion [0738] ravening [02963] the prey [02964]; they have devoured [0398] souls [05315]; they have taken [03947] the treasure [02633] and precious things [03366]; they have made her many [07235] widows [0490] in the midst [08432] thereof. 26 22 26 Her priests [03548] have violated [02554] my law [08451], and have profaned [02490] mine holy things [06944]: they have put no difference [0914] between the holy [06944] and profane [02455], neither have they shewed [03045] difference between the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889], and have hid [05956] their eyes [05869] from my sabbaths [07676], and I am profaned [02490] among [08432] them. 26 22 27 Her princes [08269] in the midst [07130] thereof are like wolves [02061] ravening [02963] the prey [02964], to shed [08210] blood [01818], and to destroy [06] souls [05315], to get [01214] dishonest gain [01215]. 26 22 28 And her prophets [05030] have daubed [02902] them with untempered [08602] morter, seeing [02374] vanity [07723], and divining [07080] lies [03577] unto them, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], when the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696]. 26 22 29 The people [05971] of the land [0776] have used oppression [06231] [06233], and exercised [01497] robbery [01498], and have vexed [03238] the poor [06041] and needy [034]: yea, they have oppressed [06231] the stranger [01616] wrongfully [04941]. 26 22 30 And I sought [01245] for a man [0376] among them, that should make up [01443] the hedge [01447], and stand [05975] in the gap [06556] before [06440] me for the land [0776], that I should not destroy [07843] it: but I found [04672] none. 26 22 31 Therefore have I poured out [08210] mine indignation [02195] upon them; I have consumed [03615] them with the fire [0784] of my wrath [05678]: their own way [01870] have I recompensed [05414] upon their heads [07218], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 23 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 23 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], there were two [08147] women [0802], the daughters [01323] of one [0259] mother [0517]: 26 23 3 And they committed whoredoms [02181] in Egypt [04714]; they committed whoredoms [02181] in their youth [05271]: there were their breasts [07699] pressed [04600], and there they bruised [06213] the teats [01717] of their virginity [01331]. 26 23 4 And the names [08034] of them were Aholah [0170] the elder [01419], and Aholibah [0172] her sister [0269]: and they were mine, and they bare [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]. Thus were their names [08034]; Samaria [08111] is Aholah [0170], and Jerusalem [03389] Aholibah [0172]. 26 23 5 And Aholah [0170] played the harlot [02181] when she was mine [08478]; and she doted [05689] on her lovers [0157], on the Assyrians [0804] her neighbours [07138], 26 23 6 Which were clothed [03847] with blue [08504], captains [06346] and rulers [05461], all of them desirable [02531] young men [0970], horsemen [06571] riding [07392] upon horses [05483]. 26 23 7 Thus she committed [05414] her whoredoms [08457] with them, with all them that were the chosen [04005] men [01121] of Assyria [0804], and with all on whom she doted [05689]: with all their idols [01544] she defiled [02930] herself. 26 23 8 Neither left [05800] she her whoredoms [08457] brought from Egypt [04714]: for in her youth [05271] they lay [07901] with her, and they bruised [06213] the breasts [01717] of her virginity [01331], and poured [08210] their whoredom [08457] upon her. 26 23 9 Wherefore I have delivered [05414] her into the hand [03027] of her lovers [0157], into the hand [03027] of the Assyrians [01121] [0804], upon whom she doted [05689]. 26 23 10 These discovered [01540] her nakedness [06172]: they took [03947] her sons [01121] and her daughters [01323], and slew [02026] her with the sword [02719]: and she became famous [08034] among women [0802]; for they had executed [06213] judgment [08196] upon her. 26 23 11 And when her sister [0269] Aholibah [0172] saw [07200] this, she was more corrupt [07843] in her inordinate love [05691] than she, and in her whoredoms [08457] more than her sister [0269] in her whoredoms [02183]. 26 23 12 She doted [05689] upon the Assyrians [01121] [0804] her neighbours [07138], captains [06346] and rulers [05461] clothed [03847] most gorgeously [04358], horsemen [06571] riding [07392] upon horses [05483], all of them desirable [02531] young men [0970]. 26 23 13 Then I saw [07200] that she was defiled [02930], that they took both [08147] one [0259] way [01870], 26 23 14 And that she increased [03254] her whoredoms [08457]: for when she saw [07200] men [0582] pourtrayed [02707] upon the wall [07023], the images [06754] of the Chaldeans [03778] pourtrayed [02710] with vermilion [08350], 26 23 15 Girded [02289] with girdles [0232] upon their loins [04975], exceeding [05628] in dyed attire [02871] upon their heads [07218], all of them princes [07991] to look to [04758], after the manner [01823] of the Babylonians [01121] [0894] of Chaldea [03778], the land [0776] of their nativity [04138]: 26 23 16 And as soon as she saw [04758] them with her eyes [05869], she doted [05689] upon them, and sent [07971] messengers [04397] unto them into Chaldea [03778]. 26 23 17 And the Babylonians [01121] [0894] came [0935] to her into the bed [04904] of love [01730], and they defiled [02930] her with their whoredom [08457], and she was polluted [02930] with them, and her mind [05315] was alienated [03363] from them. 26 23 18 So she discovered [01540] her whoredoms [08457], and discovered [01540] her nakedness [06172]: then my mind [05315] was alienated [03363] from her, like as my mind [05315] was alienated [05361] from her sister [0269]. 26 23 19 Yet she multiplied [07235] her whoredoms [08457], in calling to remembrance [02142] the days [03117] of her youth [05271], wherein she had played the harlot [02181] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 23 20 For she doted [05689] upon their paramours [06370], whose flesh [01320] is as the flesh [01320] of asses [02543], and whose issue [02231] is like the issue [02231] of horses [05483]. 26 23 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance [06485] the lewdness [02154] of thy youth [05271], in bruising [06213] thy teats [01717] by the Egyptians [04714] for the paps [07699] of thy youth [05271]. 26 23 22 Therefore, O Aholibah [0172], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will raise up [05782] thy lovers [0157] against thee, from whom thy mind [05315] is alienated [05361], and I will bring [0935] them against thee on every side [05439]; 26 23 23 The Babylonians [01121] [0894], and all the Chaldeans [03778], Pekod [06489], and Shoa [07772], and Koa [06970], and all the Assyrians [01121] [0804] with them: all of them desirable [02531] young men [0970], captains [06346] and rulers [05461], great lords [07991] and renowned [07121], all of them riding [07392] upon horses [05483]. 26 23 24 And they shall come [0935] against thee with chariots [02021], wagons [07393], and wheels [01534], and with an assembly [06951] of people [05971], which shall set [07760] against thee buckler [06793] and shield [04043] and helmet [06959] round about [05439]: and I will set [05414] judgment [04941] before [06440] them, and they shall judge [08199] thee according to their judgments [04941]. 26 23 25 And I will set [05414] my jealousy [07068] against thee, and they shall deal [06213] furiously [02534] with thee: they shall take away [05493] thy nose [0639] and thine ears [0241]; and thy remnant [0319] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]: they shall take [03947] thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323]; and thy residue [0319] shall be devoured [0398] by the fire [0784]. 26 23 26 They shall also strip [06584] thee out of thy clothes [0899], and take away [03947] thy fair [08597] jewels [03627]. 26 23 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness [02154] to cease [07673] from thee, and thy whoredom [02184] brought from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: so that thou shalt not lift up [05375] thine eyes [05869] unto them, nor remember [02142] Egypt [04714] any more. 26 23 28 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will deliver [05414] thee into the hand [03027] of them whom thou hatest [08130], into the hand [03027] of them from whom thy mind [05315] is alienated [05361]: 26 23 29 And they shall deal [06213] with thee hatefully [08135], and shall take away [03947] all thy labour [03018], and shall leave [05800] thee naked [05903] and bare [06181]: and the nakedness [06172] of thy whoredoms [02183] shall be discovered [01540], both thy lewdness [02154] and thy whoredoms [08457]. 26 23 30 I will do [06213] these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring [02181] after [0310] the heathen [01471], and because thou art polluted [02930] with their idols [01544]. 26 23 31 Thou hast walked [01980] in the way [01870] of thy sister [0269]; therefore will I give [05414] her cup [03563] into thine hand [03027]. 26 23 32 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Thou shalt drink [08354] of thy sister's [0269] cup [03563] deep [06013] and large [07342]: thou shalt be laughed to scorn [06712] and had in derision [03933]; it containeth [03557] much [04767]. 26 23 33 Thou shalt be filled [04390] with drunkenness [07943] and sorrow [03015], with the cup [03563] of astonishment [08047] and desolation [08077], with the cup [03563] of thy sister [0269] Samaria [08111]. 26 23 34 Thou shalt even drink [08354] it and suck it out [04680], and thou shalt break [01633] the sherds [02789] thereof, and pluck off [05423] thine own breasts [07699]: for I have spoken [01696] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 23 35 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou hast forgotten [07911] me, and cast [07993] me behind [0310] thy back [01458], therefore bear [05375] thou also thy lewdness [02154] and thy whoredoms [08457]. 26 23 36 The LORD [03068] said [0559] moreover unto me; Son [01121] of man [0120], wilt thou judge [08199] Aholah [0170] and Aholibah [0172]? yea, declare [05046] unto them their abominations [08441]; 26 23 37 That they have committed adultery [05003], and blood [01818] is in their hands [03027], and with their idols [01544] have they committed adultery [05003], and have also caused their sons [01121], whom they bare [03205] unto me, to pass for them through [05674] the fire, to devour [0402] them. 26 23 38 Moreover this they have done [06213] unto me: they have defiled [02930] my sanctuary [04720] in the same day [03117], and have profaned [02490] my sabbaths [07676]. 26 23 39 For when they had slain [07819] their children [01121] to their idols [01544], then they came [0935] the same day [03117] into my sanctuary [04720] to profane [02490] it; and, lo, thus have they done [06213] in the midst [08432] of mine house [01004]. 26 23 40 And furthermore [0637], that ye have sent [07971] for men [0582] to come [0935] from far [04801], unto whom a messenger [04397] was sent [07971]; and, lo, they came [0935]: for whom thou didst wash [07364] thyself, paintedst [03583] thy eyes [05869], and deckedst [05710] thyself with ornaments [05716], 26 23 41 And satest [03427] upon a stately [03520] bed [04296], and a table [07979] prepared [06186] before [06440] it, whereupon thou hast set [07760] mine incense [07004] and mine oil [08081]. 26 23 42 And a voice [06963] of a multitude [01995] being at ease [07961] was with her: and with the men [0582] of the common sort [07230] [0120] were brought [0935] Sabeans [05436] [05433] from the wilderness [04057], which put [05414] bracelets [06781] upon their hands [03027], and beautiful [08597] crowns [05850] upon their heads [07218]. 26 23 43 Then said [0559] I unto her that was old [01087] in adulteries [05004], Will they now commit [02181] whoredoms [08457] with her, and she with them? 26 23 44 Yet they went in [0935] unto her, as they go in [0935] unto a woman [0802] that playeth the harlot [02181]: so went they in [0935] unto Aholah [0170] and unto Aholibah [0172], the lewd [02154] women [0802]. 26 23 45 And the righteous [06662] men [0582], they shall judge [08199] them after the manner [04941] of adulteresses [05003], and after the manner [04941] of women that shed [08210] blood [01818]; because they are adulteresses [05003], and blood [01818] is in their hands [03027]. 26 23 46 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will bring up [05927] a company [06951] upon them, and will give [05414] them to be removed [02189] and spoiled [0957]. 26 23 47 And the company [06951] shall stone [07275] them with stones [068], and dispatch [01254] them with their swords [02719]; they shall slay [02026] their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323], and burn up [08313] their houses [01004] with fire [0784]. 26 23 48 Thus will I cause lewdness [02154] to cease [07673] out of the land [0776], that all women [0802] may be taught [03256] not to do [06213] after your lewdness [02154]. 26 23 49 And they shall recompense [05414] your lewdness [02154] upon you, and ye shall bear [05375] the sins [02399] of your idols [01544]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 24 1 Again in the ninth [08671] year [08141], in the tenth [06224] month [02320], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 24 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], write [03789] thee the name [08034] of the day [03117], even of this same [06106] day [03117]: the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] set [05564] himself against Jerusalem [03389] this same [06106] day [03117]. 26 24 3 And utter [04911] a parable [04912] unto the rebellious [04805] house [01004], and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Set on [08239] a pot [05518], set it on [08239], and also pour [03332] water [04325] into it: 26 24 4 Gather [0622] the pieces [05409] thereof into it, even every good [02896] piece [05409], the thigh [03409], and the shoulder [03802]; fill [04390] it with the choice [04005] bones [06106]. 26 24 5 Take [03947] the choice [04005] of the flock [06629], and burn [01754] also the bones [06106] under it, and make it boil [07570] well [07571], and let them seethe [01310] the bones [06106] of it therein [08432]. 26 24 6 Wherefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Woe [0188] to the bloody [01818] city [05892], to the pot [05518] whose scum [02457] is therein, and whose scum [02457] is not gone out [03318] of it! bring it out [03318] piece [05409] by piece [05409]; let no lot [01486] fall [05307] upon it. 26 24 7 For her blood [01818] is in the midst [08432] of her; she set [07760] it upon the top [06706] of a rock [05553]; she poured [08210] it not upon the ground [0776], to cover [03680] it with dust [06083]; 26 24 8 That it might cause fury [02534] to come up [05927] to take [05358] vengeance [05359]; I have set [05414] her blood [01818] upon the top [06706] of a rock [05553], that it should not be covered [03680]. 26 24 9 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Woe [0188] to the bloody [01818] city [05892]! I will even make the pile [04071] for fire great [01431]. 26 24 10 Heap [07235] on wood [06086], kindle [01814] the fire [0784], consume [08552] the flesh [01320], and spice [07543] it well [04841], and let the bones [06106] be burned [02787]. 26 24 11 Then set [05975] it empty [07386] upon the coals [01513] thereof, that the brass [05178] of it may be hot [03179], and may burn [02787], and that the filthiness [02932] of it may be molten [05413] in it [08432], that the scum [02457] of it may be consumed [08552]. 26 24 12 She hath wearied [03811] herself with lies [08383], and her great [07227] scum [02457] went not forth [03318] out of her: her scum [02457] shall be in the fire [0784]. 26 24 13 In thy filthiness [02932] is lewdness [02154]: because I have purged [02891] thee, and thou wast not purged [02891], thou shalt not be purged [02891] from thy filthiness [02932] any more, till I have caused my fury [02534] to rest [05117] upon thee. 26 24 14 I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it: it shall come to pass [0935], and I will do [06213] it; I will not go back [06544], neither will I spare [02347], neither will I repent [05162]; according to thy ways [01870], and according to thy doings [05949], shall they judge [08199] thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 24 15 Also the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 24 16 Son [01121] of man [0120], behold, I take away [03947] from thee the desire [04261] of thine eyes [05869] with a stroke [04046]: yet neither shalt thou mourn [05594] nor weep [01058], neither shall thy tears [01832] run down [0935]. 26 24 17 Forbear [01826] to cry [0602], make [06213] no mourning [060] for the dead [04191], bind [02280] the tire of thine head [06287] upon thee, and put on [07760] thy shoes [05275] upon thy feet [07272], and cover [05844] not thy lips [08222], and eat [0398] not the bread [03899] of men [0582]. 26 24 18 So I spake [01696] unto the people [05971] in the morning [01242]: and at even [06153] my wife [0802] died [04191]; and I did [06213] in the morning [01242] as I was commanded [06680]. 26 24 19 And the people [05971] said [0559] unto me, Wilt thou not tell [05046] us what these things are to us, that thou doest [06213] so? 26 24 20 Then I answered [0559] them, The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 24 21 Speak [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will profane [02490] my sanctuary [04720], the excellency [01347] of your strength [05797], the desire [04261] of your eyes [05869], and that which your soul [05315] pitieth [04263]; and your sons [01121] and your daughters [01323] whom ye have left [05800] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]. 26 24 22 And ye shall do [06213] as I have done [06213]: ye shall not cover [05844] your lips [08222], nor eat [0398] the bread [03899] of men [0582]. 26 24 23 And your tires [06287] shall be upon your heads [07218], and your shoes [05275] upon your feet [07272]: ye shall not mourn [05594] nor weep [01058]; but ye shall pine away [04743] for your iniquities [05771], and mourn [05098] one [0376] toward another [0251]. 26 24 24 Thus Ezekiel [03168] is unto you a sign [04159]: according to all that he hath done [06213] shall ye do [06213]: and when this cometh [0935], ye shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 24 25 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], shall it not be in the day [03117] when I take [03947] from them their strength [04581], the joy [04885] of their glory [08597], the desire [04261] of their eyes [05869], and that whereupon they set [04853] their minds [05315], their sons [01121] and their daughters [01323], 26 24 26 That he that escapeth [06412] in that day [03117] shall come [0935] unto thee, to cause thee to hear [02045] it with thine ears [0241]? 26 24 27 In that day [03117] shall thy mouth [06310] be opened [06605] to him which is escaped [06412], and thou shalt speak [01696], and be no more dumb [0481]: and thou shalt be a sign [04159] unto them; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 25 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 25 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against the Ammonites [01121] [05983], and prophesy [05012] against them; 26 25 3 And say [0559] unto the Ammonites [01121] [05983], Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou saidst [0559], Aha [01889], against my sanctuary [04720], when it was profaned [02490]; and against the land [0127] of Israel [03478], when it was desolate [08074]; and against the house [01004] of Judah [03063], when they went [01980] into captivity [01473]; 26 25 4 Behold, therefore I will deliver [05414] thee to the men [01121] of the east [06924] for a possession [04181], and they shall set [03427] their palaces [02918] in thee, and make [05414] their dwellings [04908] in thee: they shall eat [0398] thy fruit [06529], and they shall drink [08354] thy milk [02461]. 26 25 5 And I will make [05414] Rabbah [07237] a stable [05116] for camels [01581], and the Ammonites [01121] [05983] a couchingplace [04769] for flocks [06629]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 25 6 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou hast clapped [04222] thine hands [03027], and stamped [07554] with the feet [07272], and rejoiced [08055] in heart [05315] with all thy despite [07589] against the land [0127] of Israel [03478]; 26 25 7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon thee, and will deliver [05414] thee for a spoil [0957] [0897] to the heathen [01471]; and I will cut thee off [03772] from the people [05971], and I will cause thee to perish [06] out of the countries [0776]: I will destroy [08045] thee; and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 25 8 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because [03282] that Moab [04124] and Seir [08165] do say [0559], Behold, the house [01004] of Judah [03063] is like unto all the heathen [01471]; 26 25 9 Therefore, behold, I will open [06605] the side [03802] of Moab [04124] from the cities [05892], from his cities [05892] which are on his frontiers [07097], the glory [06643] of the country [0776], Bethjeshimoth [01020], Baalmeon [01186], and Kiriathaim [07156], 26 25 10 Unto the men [01121] of the east [06924] with the Ammonites [01121] [05983], and will give [05414] them in possession [04181], that the Ammonites [01121] [05983] may not be remembered [02142] among the nations [01471]. 26 25 11 And I will execute [06213] judgments [08201] upon Moab [04124]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 25 12 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because that Edom [0123] hath dealt [06213] against the house [01004] of Judah [03063] by taking [05358] vengeance [05359], and hath greatly [0816] offended [0816], and revenged [05358] himself upon them; 26 25 13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Edom [0123], and will cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it; and I will make [05414] it desolate [02723] from Teman [08487]; and they of Dedan [01719] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]. 26 25 14 And I will lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon Edom [0123] by the hand [03027] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: and they shall do [06213] in Edom [0123] according to mine anger [0639] and according to my fury [02534]; and they shall know [03045] my vengeance [05360], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 25 15 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because the Philistines [06430] have dealt [06213] by revenge [05360], and have taken [05358] vengeance [05359] with a despiteful [07589] heart [05315], to destroy [04889] it for the old [05769] hatred [0342]; 26 25 16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon the Philistines [06430], and I will cut off [03772] the Cherethims [03774], and destroy [06] the remnant [07611] of the sea [03220] coast [02348]. 26 25 17 And I will execute [06213] great [01419] vengeance [05360] upon them with furious [02534] rebukes [08433]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon them. 26 26 1 And it came to pass in the eleventh [06249] [06240] year [08141], in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 26 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], because that Tyrus [06865] hath said [0559] against Jerusalem [03389], Aha [01889], she is broken [07665] that was the gates [01817] of the people [05971]: she is turned [05437] unto me: I shall be replenished [04390], now she is laid waste [02717]: 26 26 3 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus [06865], and will cause many [07227] nations [01471] to come up [05927] against thee, as the sea [03220] causeth his waves [01530] to come up [05927]. 26 26 4 And they shall destroy [07843] the walls [02346] of Tyrus [06865], and break down [02040] her towers [04026]: I will also scrape [05500] her dust [06083] from her, and make [05414] her like the top [06706] of a rock [05553]. 26 26 5 It shall be a place for the spreading [04894] of nets [02764] in the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]: for I have spoken [01696] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: and it shall become a spoil [0957] to the nations [01471]. 26 26 6 And her daughters [01323] which are in the field [07704] shall be slain [02026] by the sword [02719]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 26 7 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will bring [0935] upon Tyrus [06865] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], a king [04428] of kings [04428], from the north [06828], with horses [05483], and with chariots [07393], and with horsemen [06571], and companies [06951], and much [07227] people [05971]. 26 26 8 He shall slay [02026] with the sword [02719] thy daughters [01323] in the field [07704]: and he shall make [05414] a fort [01785] against thee, and cast [08210] a mount [05550] against thee, and lift up [06965] the buckler [06793] against thee. 26 26 9 And he shall set [05414] engines [04239] of war [06904] against thy walls [02346], and with his axes [02719] he shall break down [05422] thy towers [04026]. 26 26 10 By reason of the abundance [08229] of his horses [05483] their dust [080] shall cover [03680] thee: thy walls [02346] shall shake [07493] at the noise [06963] of the horsemen [06571], and of the wheels [01534], and of the chariots [07393], when he shall enter [0935] into thy gates [08179], as men enter [03996] into a city [05892] wherein is made a breach [01234]. 26 26 11 With the hoofs [06541] of his horses [05483] shall he tread down [07429] all thy streets [02351]: he shall slay [02026] thy people [05971] by the sword [02719], and thy strong [05797] garrisons [04676] shall go down [03381] to the ground [0776]. 26 26 12 And they shall make a spoil [07997] of thy riches [02428], and make a prey [0962] of thy merchandise [07404]: and they shall break down [02040] thy walls [02346], and destroy [05422] thy pleasant [02532] houses [01004]: and they shall lay [07760] thy stones [068] and thy timber [06086] and thy dust [06083] in the midst [08432] of the water [04325]. 26 26 13 And I will cause the noise [01995] of thy songs [07892] to cease [07673]; and the sound [06963] of thy harps [03658] shall be no more heard [08085]. 26 26 14 And I will make [05414] thee like the top [06706] of a rock [05553]: thou shalt be a place to spread [04894] nets [02764] upon [04894]; thou shalt be built [01129] no more: for I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 26 15 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] to Tyrus [06865]; Shall not the isles [0339] shake [07493] at the sound [06963] of thy fall [04658], when the wounded [02491] cry [0602], when the slaughter [02027] is made [02026] in the midst [08432] of thee? 26 26 16 Then all the princes [05387] of the sea [03220] shall come down [03381] from their thrones [03678], and lay away [05493] their robes [04598], and put off [06584] their broidered [07553] garments [0899]: they shall clothe [03847] themselves with trembling [02731]; they shall sit [03427] upon the ground [0776], and shall tremble [02729] at every moment [07281], and be astonished [08074] at thee. 26 26 17 And they shall take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] for thee, and say [0559] to thee, How art thou destroyed [06], that wast inhabited [03427] of seafaring men [03220], the renowned [01984] city [05892], which wast strong [02389] in the sea [03220], she and her inhabitants [03427], which cause [05414] their terror [02851] to be on all that haunt [03427] it! 26 26 18 Now shall the isles [0339] tremble [02729] in the day [03117] of thy fall [04658]; yea, the isles [0339] that are in the sea [03220] shall be troubled [0926] at thy departure [03318]. 26 26 19 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When I shall make [05414] thee a desolate [02717] city [05892], like the cities [05892] that are not inhabited [03427]; when I shall bring up [05927] the deep [08415] upon thee, and great [07227] waters [04325] shall cover [03680] thee; 26 26 20 When I shall bring thee down [03381] with them that descend [03381] into the pit [0953], with the people [05971] of old time [05769], and shall set [03427] thee in the low parts [08482] of the earth [0776], in places desolate [02723] of old [05769], with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953], that thou be not inhabited [03427]; and I shall set [05414] glory [06643] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]; 26 26 21 I will make [05414] thee a terror [01091], and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for [01245], yet shalt thou never [05769] be found [04672] again, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 27 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 27 2 Now, thou son [01121] of man [0120], take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] for Tyrus [06865]; 26 27 3 And say [0559] unto Tyrus [06865], O thou that art situate [03427] at the entry [03997] of the sea [03220], which art a merchant [07402] of the people [05971] for many [07227] isles [0339], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; O Tyrus [06865], thou hast said [0559], I am of perfect [03632] beauty [03308]. 26 27 4 Thy borders [01366] are in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220], thy builders [01129] have perfected [03634] thy beauty [03308]. 26 27 5 They have made [01129] all thy ship boards [03871] of fir trees [01265] of Senir [08149]: they have taken [03947] cedars [0730] from Lebanon [03844] to make [06213] masts [08650] for thee. 26 27 6 Of the oaks [0437] of Bashan [01316] have they made [06213] thine oars [04880]; the company [01323] of the Ashurites [0839] have made [06213] thy benches [07175] of ivory [08127], brought out of the isles [0339] of Chittim [03794]. 26 27 7 Fine linen [08336] with broidered work [07553] from Egypt [04714] was that which thou spreadest forth [04666] to be thy sail [05251]; blue [08504] and purple [0713] from the isles [0339] of Elishah [0473] was that which covered [04374] thee. 26 27 8 The inhabitants [03427] of Zidon [06721] and Arvad [0719] were thy mariners [07751]: thy wise [02450] men, O Tyrus [06865], that were in thee, were thy pilots [02259]. 26 27 9 The ancients [02205] of Gebal [01380] and the wise [02450] men thereof were in thee thy calkers [0919] [02388]: all the ships [0591] of the sea [03220] with their mariners [04419] were in thee to occupy [06148] thy merchandise [04627]. 26 27 10 They of Persia [06539] and of Lud [03865] and of Phut [06316] were in thine army [02428], thy men [0582] of war [04421]: they hanged [08518] the shield [04043] and helmet [03553] in thee; they set forth [05414] thy comeliness [01926]. 26 27 11 The men [01121] of Arvad [0719] with thine army [02428] were upon thy walls [02346] round about [05439], and the Gammadims [01575] were in thy towers [04026]: they hanged [08518] their shields [07982] upon thy walls [02346] round about [05439]; they have made [03634] thy beauty [03308] perfect [03634]. 26 27 12 Tarshish [08659] was thy merchant [05503] by reason of the multitude [07230] of all kind of riches [01952]; with silver [03701], iron [01270], tin [0913], and lead [05777], they traded [05414] in thy fairs [05801]. 26 27 13 Javan [03120], Tubal [08422], and Meshech [04902], they were thy merchants [07402]: they traded [05414] the persons [05315] of men [0120] and vessels [03627] of brass [05178] in thy market [04627]. 26 27 14 They of the house [01004] of Togarmah [08425] traded [05414] in thy fairs [05801] with horses [05483] and horsemen [06571] and mules [06505]. 26 27 15 The men [01121] of Dedan [01719] were thy merchants [07402]; many [07227] isles [0339] were the merchandise [05506] of thine hand [03027]: they brought [07725] thee for a present [0814] horns [07161] of ivory [08127] and ebony [01894]. 26 27 16 Syria [0758] was thy merchant [05503] by reason of the multitude [07230] of the wares of thy making [04639]: they occupied [05414] in thy fairs [05801] with emeralds [05306], purple [0713], and broidered work [07553], and fine linen [0948], and coral [07215], and agate [03539]. 26 27 17 Judah [03063], and the land [0776] of Israel [03478], they were thy merchants [07402]: they traded [05414] in thy market [04627] wheat [02406] of Minnith [04511], and Pannag [06436], and honey [01706], and oil [08081], and balm [06875]. 26 27 18 Damascus [01834] was thy merchant [05503] in the multitude [07230] of the wares of thy making [04639], for the multitude [07230] of all riches [01952]; in the wine [03196] of Helbon [02463], and white [06713] wool [06785]. 26 27 19 Dan [02051] [01835] also and Javan [03120] going to and fro [0235] occupied [05414] in thy fairs [05801]: bright [06219] iron [01270], cassia [06916], and calamus [07070], were in thy market [04627]. 26 27 20 Dedan [01719] was thy merchant [07402] in precious [02667] clothes [0899] for chariots [07396]. 26 27 21 Arabia [06152], and all the princes [05387] of Kedar [06938], they occupied [05503] with thee [03027] in lambs [03733], and rams [0352], and goats [06260]: in these were they thy merchants [05503]. 26 27 22 The merchants [07402] of Sheba [07614] and Raamah [07484], they were thy merchants [07402]: they occupied [05414] in thy fairs [05801] with chief [07218] of all spices [01314], and with all precious [03368] stones [068], and gold [02091]. 26 27 23 Haran [02771], and Canneh [03656], and Eden [05729], the merchants [07402] of Sheba [07614], Asshur [0804], and Chilmad [03638], were thy merchants [07402]. 26 27 24 These were thy merchants [07402] in all sorts [04360] of things, in blue [08504] clothes [01545], and broidered work [07553], and in chests [01595] of rich apparel [01264], bound [02280] with cords [02256], and made of cedar [0729], among thy merchandise [04819]. 26 27 25 The ships [0591] of Tarshish [08659] did sing [07788] of thee in thy market [04627]: and thou wast replenished [04390], and made very [03966] glorious [03513] in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]. 26 27 26 Thy rowers [07751] have brought [0935] thee into great [07227] waters [04325]: the east [06921] wind [07307] hath broken [07665] thee in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]. 26 27 27 Thy riches [01952], and thy fairs [05801], thy merchandise [04627], thy mariners [04419], and thy pilots [02259], thy calkers [0919] [02388], and the occupiers [06148] of thy merchandise [04627], and all thy men [0582] of war [04421], that are in thee, and in all thy company [06951] which is in the midst [08432] of thee, shall fall [05307] into the midst [03820] of the seas [03220] in the day [03117] of thy ruin [04658]. 26 27 28 The suburbs [04054] shall shake [07493] at the sound [06963] of the cry [02201] of thy pilots [02259]. 26 27 29 And all that handle [08610] the oar [04880], the mariners [04419], and all the pilots [02259] of the sea [03220], shall come down [03381] from their ships [0591], they shall stand [05975] upon the land [0776]; 26 27 30 And shall cause their voice [06963] to be heard [08085] against thee, and shall cry [02199] bitterly [04751], and shall cast up [05927] dust [06083] upon their heads [07218], they shall wallow [06428] themselves in the ashes [0665]: 26 27 31 And they shall make themselves utterly [07144] bald [07139] for thee, and gird [02296] them with sackcloth [08242], and they shall weep [01058] for thee with bitterness [04751] of heart [05315] and bitter [04751] wailing [04553]. 26 27 32 And in their wailing [05204] they shall take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] for thee, and lament [06969] over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus [06865], like the destroyed [01822] in the midst [08432] of the sea [03220]? 26 27 33 When thy wares [05801] went forth [03318] out of the seas [03220], thou filledst [07646] many [07227] people [05971]; thou didst enrich [06238] the kings [04428] of the earth [0776] with the multitude [07230] of thy riches [01952] and of thy merchandise [04627]. 26 27 34 In the time [06256] when thou shalt be broken [07665] by the seas [03220] in the depths [04615] of the waters [04325] thy merchandise [04627] and all thy company [06951] in the midst [08432] of thee shall fall [05307]. 26 27 35 All the inhabitants [03427] of the isles [0339] shall be astonished [08074] at thee, and their kings [04428] shall be sore [08178] afraid [08175], they shall be troubled [07481] in their countenance [06440]. 26 27 36 The merchants [05503] among the people [05971] shall hiss [08319] at thee; thou shalt be a terror [01091], and never shalt be any more [05704] [05769]. 26 28 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 28 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the prince [05057] of Tyrus [06865], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thine heart [03820] is lifted up [01361], and thou hast said [0559], I am a God [0410], I sit [03427] in the seat [04186] of God [0430], in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]; yet thou art a man [0120], and not God [0410], though thou set [05414] thine heart [03820] as the heart [03820] of God [0430]: 26 28 3 Behold, thou art wiser [02450] than Daniel [01840]; there is no secret [05640] that they can hide [06004] from thee: 26 28 4 With thy wisdom [02451] and with thine understanding [08394] thou hast gotten [06213] thee riches [02428], and hast gotten [06213] gold [02091] and silver [03701] into thy treasures [0214]: 26 28 5 By thy great [07230] wisdom [02451] and by thy traffick [07404] hast thou increased [07235] thy riches [02428], and thine heart [03824] is lifted up [01361] because of thy riches [02428]: 26 28 6 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou hast set [05414] thine heart [03820] as the heart [03824] of God [0430]; 26 28 7 Behold, therefore I will bring [0935] strangers [02114] upon thee, the terrible [06184] of the nations [01471]: and they shall draw [07324] their swords [02719] against the beauty [03308] of thy wisdom [02451], and they shall defile [02490] thy brightness [03314]. 26 28 8 They shall bring thee down [03381] to the pit [07845], and thou shalt die [04191] the deaths [04463] of them that are slain [02491] in the midst [03820] of the seas [03220]. 26 28 9 Wilt thou yet [0559] say [0559] before [06440] him that slayeth [02026] thee, I am God [0430]? but thou shalt be a man [0120], and no God [0410], in the hand [03027] of him that slayeth [02490] thee. 26 28 10 Thou shalt die [04191] the deaths [04194] of the uncircumcised [06189] by the hand [03027] of strangers [02114]: for I have spoken [01696] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 28 11 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 28 12 Son [01121] of man [0120], take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] upon the king [04428] of Tyrus [06865], and say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Thou sealest up [02856] the sum [08508], full [04392] of wisdom [02451], and perfect [03632] in beauty [03308]. 26 28 13 Thou hast been in Eden [05731] the garden [01588] of God [0430]; every precious [03368] stone [068] was thy covering [04540], the sardius [0124], topaz [06357], and the diamond [03095], the beryl [08658], the onyx [07718], and the jasper [03471], the sapphire [05601], the emerald [05306], and the carbuncle [01304], and gold [02091]: the workmanship [04399] of thy tabrets [08596] and of thy pipes [05345] was prepared [03559] in thee in the day [03117] that thou wast created [01254]. 26 28 14 Thou art the anointed [04473] cherub [03742] that covereth [05526]; and I have set [05414] thee so: thou wast upon the holy [06944] mountain [02022] of God [0430]; thou hast walked up and down [01980] in the midst [08432] of the stones [068] of fire [0784]. 26 28 15 Thou wast perfect [08549] in thy ways [01870] from the day [03117] that thou wast created [01254], till iniquity [05766] was found [04672] in thee. 26 28 16 By the multitude [07230] of thy merchandise [07404] they have filled [04390] the midst [08432] of thee with violence [02555], and thou hast sinned [02398]: therefore I will cast thee as profane [02490] out of the mountain [02022] of God [0430]: and I will destroy [06] thee, O covering [05526] cherub [03742], from the midst [08432] of the stones [068] of fire [0784]. 26 28 17 Thine heart [03820] was lifted up [01361] because of thy beauty [03308], thou hast corrupted [07843] thy wisdom [02451] by reason of [05921] thy brightness [03314]: I will cast [07993] thee to the ground [0776], I will lay [05414] thee before [06440] kings [04428], that they may behold [07200] thee. 26 28 18 Thou hast defiled [02490] thy sanctuaries [04720] by the multitude [07230] of thine iniquities [05771], by the iniquity [05766] of thy traffick [07404]; therefore will I bring forth [03318] a fire [0784] from the midst [08432] of thee, it shall devour [0398] thee, and I will bring [05414] thee to ashes [0665] upon the earth [0776] in the sight [05869] of all them that behold [07200] thee. 26 28 19 All they that know [03045] thee among the people [05971] shall be astonished [08074] at thee: thou shalt be a terror [01091], and never [0369] shalt thou be any more [05704] [05769]. 26 28 20 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 28 21 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against Zidon [06721], and prophesy [05012] against it, 26 28 22 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon [06721]; and I will be glorified [03513] in the midst [08432] of thee: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall have executed [06213] judgments [08201] in her, and shall be sanctified [06942] in her. 26 28 23 For I will send [07971] into her pestilence [01698], and blood [01818] into her streets [02351]; and the wounded [02491] shall be judged [05307] in the midst [08432] of her by the sword [02719] upon her on every side [05439]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 28 24 And there shall be no more a pricking [03992] brier [05544] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], nor any grieving [03510] thorn [06975] of all that are round about [05439] them, that despised [07590] them; and they shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 28 25 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When I shall have gathered [06908] the house [01004] of Israel [03478] from the people [05971] among whom they are scattered [06327], and shall be sanctified [06942] in them in the sight [05869] of the heathen [01471], then shall they dwell [03427] in their land [0127] that I have given [05414] to my servant [05650] Jacob [03290]. 26 28 26 And they shall dwell [03427] safely [0983] therein, and shall build [01129] houses [01004], and plant [05193] vineyards [03754]; yea, they shall dwell [03427] with confidence [0983], when I have executed [06213] judgments [08201] upon all those that despise [07590] them round about [05439] them; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430]. 26 29 1 In the tenth [06224] year [08141], in the tenth [06224] month, in the twelfth [08147] [06240] day of the month [02320], the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 29 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and prophesy [05012] against him, and against all Egypt [04714]: 26 29 3 Speak [01696], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], the great [01419] dragon [08577] that lieth [07257] in the midst [08432] of his rivers [02975], which hath said [0559], My river [02975] is mine own, and I have made [06213] it for myself. 26 29 4 But I will put [05414] hooks [02397] [02397] in thy jaws [03895], and I will cause the fish [01710] of thy rivers [02975] to stick [01692] unto thy scales [07193], and I will bring thee up [05927] out of the midst [08432] of thy rivers [02975], and all the fish [01710] of thy rivers [02975] shall stick [01692] unto thy scales [07193]. 26 29 5 And I will leave [05203] thee thrown into the wilderness [04057], thee and all the fish [01710] of thy rivers [02975]: thou shalt fall [05307] upon the open [06440] fields [07704]; thou shalt not be brought together [0622], nor gathered [06908]: I have given [05414] thee for meat [0402] to the beasts [02416] of the field [0776] and to the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064]. 26 29 6 And all the inhabitants [03427] of Egypt [04714] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], because they have been a staff [04938] of reed [07070] to the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 29 7 When they took hold [08610] of thee by thy hand [03709], thou didst break [07533], and rend [01234] all their shoulder [03802]: and when they leaned [08172] upon thee, thou brakest [07665], and madest all their loins [04975] to be at a stand [05976]. 26 29 8 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will bring [0935] a sword [02719] upon thee, and cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] out of thee. 26 29 9 And the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall be desolate [08077] and waste [02723]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]: because he hath said [0559], The river [02975] is mine, and I have made [06213] it. 26 29 10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers [02975], and I will make [05414] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] utterly [02721] waste [02723] and desolate [08077], from the tower [04024] of Syene [05482] even unto the border [01366] of Ethiopia [03568]. 26 29 11 No foot [07272] of man [0120] shall pass through [05674] it, nor foot [07272] of beast [0929] shall pass through [05674] it, neither shall it be inhabited [03427] forty [0705] years [08141]. 26 29 12 And I will make [05414] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] desolate [08077] in the midst [08432] of the countries [0776] that are desolate [08074], and her cities [05892] among [08432] the cities [05892] that are laid waste [02717] shall be desolate [08077] forty [0705] years [08141]: and I will scatter [06327] the Egyptians [04714] among the nations [01471], and will disperse [02219] them through the countries [0776]. 26 29 13 Yet thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; At the end [07093] of forty [0705] years [08141] will I gather [06908] the Egyptians [04714] from the people [05971] whither they were scattered [06327]: 26 29 14 And I will bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of Egypt [04714], and will cause them to return [07725] into the land [0776] of Pathros [06624], into the land [0776] of their habitation [04351]; and they shall be there a base [08217] kingdom [04467]. 26 29 15 It shall be the basest [08217] of the kingdoms [04467]; neither shall it exalt [05375] itself any more above the nations [01471]: for I will diminish [04591] them, that they shall no more rule [07287] over the nations [01471]. 26 29 16 And it shall be no more the confidence [04009] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], which bringeth [02142] their iniquity [05771] to remembrance [02142], when they shall look [06437] after [0310] them: but they shall know [03045] that I am the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 29 17 And it came to pass in the seven [07651] and twentieth [06242] year [08141], in the first [07223] month, in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 29 18 Son [01121] of man [0120], Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] caused [05647] his army [02428] to serve [05647] a great [01419] service [05656] against Tyrus [06865]: every head [07218] was made bald [07139], and every shoulder [03802] was peeled [04803]: yet had he no wages [07939], nor his army [02428], for Tyrus [06865], for the service [05656] that he had served [05647] against it: 26 29 19 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will give [05414] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] unto Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]; and he shall take [05375] her multitude [01995], and take [07997] her spoil [07998], and take [0962] her prey [0957]; and it shall be the wages [07939] for his army [02428]. 26 29 20 I have given [05414] him the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] for his labour [06468] wherewith he served [05647] against it, because they wrought [06213] for me, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 29 21 In that day [03117] will I cause [06779] the horn [07161] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] to bud forth [06779], and I will give [05414] thee the opening [06610] of the mouth [06310] in the midst [08432] of them; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 30 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 30 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Howl [03213] ye, Woe worth [01929] the day [03117]! 26 30 3 For the day [03117] is near [07138], even the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138], a cloudy [06051] day [03117]; it shall be the time [06256] of the heathen [01471]. 26 30 4 And the sword [02719] shall come [0935] upon Egypt [04714], and great pain [02479] shall be in Ethiopia [03568], when the slain [02491] shall fall [05307] in Egypt [04714], and they shall take away [03947] her multitude [01995], and her foundations [03247] shall be broken down [02040]. 26 30 5 Ethiopia [03568], and Libya [06316], and Lydia [03865], and all the mingled [06153] people, and Chub [03552], and the men [01121] of the land [0776] that is in league [01285], shall fall [05307] with them by the sword [02719]. 26 30 6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; They also that uphold [05564] Egypt [04714] shall fall [05307]; and the pride [01347] of her power [05797] shall come down [03381]: from the tower [04024] of Syene [05482] shall they fall [05307] in it by the sword [02719], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 30 7 And they shall be desolate [08074] in the midst [08432] of the countries [0776] that are desolate [08074], and her cities [05892] shall be in the midst [08432] of the cities [05892] that are wasted [02717]. 26 30 8 And they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have set [05414] a fire [0784] in Egypt [04714], and when all her helpers [05826] shall be destroyed [07665]. 26 30 9 In that day [03117] shall messengers [04397] go forth [03318] from me [06440] in ships [06716] to make the careless [0983] Ethiopians [03568] afraid [02729], and great pain [02479] shall come upon them, as in the day [03117] of Egypt [04714]: for, lo, it cometh [0935]. 26 30 10 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also make the multitude [01995] of Egypt [04714] to cease [07673] by the hand [03027] of Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894]. 26 30 11 He and his people [05971] with him, the terrible [06184] of the nations [01471], shall be brought [0935] to destroy [07843] the land [0776]: and they shall draw [07324] their swords [02719] against Egypt [04714], and fill [04390] the land [0776] with the slain [02491]. 26 30 12 And I will make [05414] the rivers [02975] dry [02724], and sell [04376] the land [0776] into the hand [03027] of the wicked [07451]: and I will make the land [0776] waste [08074], and all that is therein [04393], by the hand [03027] of strangers [02114]: I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 30 13 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also destroy [06] the idols [01544], and I will cause their images [0457] to cease [07673] out of Noph [05297]; and there shall be no more a prince [05387] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]: and I will put [05414] a fear [03374] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 30 14 And I will make Pathros [06624] desolate [08074], and will set [05414] fire [0784] in Zoan [06814], and will execute [06213] judgments [08201] in No [04996]. 26 30 15 And I will pour [08210] my fury [02534] upon Sin [05512], the strength [04581] of Egypt [04714]; and I will cut off [03772] the multitude [01995] of No [04996]. 26 30 16 And I will set [05414] fire [0784] in Egypt [04714]: Sin [05512] shall have great [02342] pain [02342], and No [04996] shall be rent asunder [01234], and Noph [05297] shall have distresses [06862] daily [03119]. 26 30 17 The young men [0970] of Aven [0206] and of Pibeseth [06364] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]: and these cities shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]. 26 30 18 At Tehaphnehes [08471] also the day [03117] shall be darkened [02821] [02820], when I shall break [07665] there the yokes [04133] of Egypt [04714]: and the pomp [01347] of her strength [05797] shall cease [07673] in her [01931]: as for her, a cloud [06051] shall cover [03680] her, and her daughters [01323] shall go [03212] into captivity [07628]. 26 30 19 Thus will I execute [06213] judgments [08201] in Egypt [04714]: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 30 20 And it came to pass in the eleventh [0259] [06240] year [08141], in the first [07223] month, in the seventh [07651] day of the month [02320], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 30 21 Son [01121] of man [0120], I have broken [07665] the arm [02220] of Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714]; and, lo, it shall not be bound up [02280] to be healed [07499] [05414], to put [07760] a roller [02848] to bind [02280] it, to make it strong [02388] to hold [08610] the sword [02719]. 26 30 22 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and will break [07665] his arms [02220], the strong [02389], and that which was broken [07665]; and I will cause the sword [02719] to fall [05307] out of his hand [03027]. 26 30 23 And I will scatter [06327] the Egyptians [04714] among the nations [01471], and will disperse [02219] them through the countries [0776]. 26 30 24 And I will strengthen [02388] the arms [02220] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and put [05414] my sword [02719] in his hand [03027]: but I will break [07665] Pharaoh's [06547] arms [02220], and he shall groan [05008] before [06440] him with the groanings [05009] of a deadly wounded [02491] man. 26 30 25 But I will strengthen [02388] the arms [02220] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and the arms [02220] of Pharaoh [06547] shall fall down [05307]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I shall put [05414] my sword [02719] into the hand [03027] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and he shall stretch it out [05186] upon the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 26 30 26 And I will scatter [06327] the Egyptians [04714] among the nations [01471], and disperse [02219] them among the countries [0776]; and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 31 1 And it came to pass in the eleventh [0259] [06240] year [08141], in the third [07992] month, in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 31 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], speak [0559] unto Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and to his multitude [01995]; Whom art thou like [01819] in thy greatness [01433]? 26 31 3 Behold, the Assyrian [0804] was a cedar [0730] in Lebanon [03844] with fair [03303] branches [06057], and with a shadowing [06751] shroud [02793], and of an high [01362] stature [06967]; and his top [06788] was among the thick boughs [05688]. 26 31 4 The waters [04325] made him great [01431], the deep [08415] set him up on high [07311] with her rivers [05104] running [01980] round about [05439] his plants [04302], and sent out [07971] her little rivers [08585] unto all the trees [06086] of the field [07704]. 26 31 5 Therefore his height [06967] was exalted [01361] above all the trees [06086] of the field [07704], and his boughs [05634] were multiplied [07235], and his branches [06288] became long [0748] because of the multitude [07227] of waters [04325], when he shot forth [07971]. 26 31 6 All the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064] made their nests [07077] in his boughs [05589], and under his branches [06288] did all the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] bring forth their young [03205], and under his shadow [06738] dwelt [03427] all great [07227] nations [01471]. 26 31 7 Thus was he fair [03302] in his greatness [01433], in the length [0753] of his branches [01808]: for his root [08328] was by great [07227] waters [04325]. 26 31 8 The cedars [0730] in the garden [01588] of God [0430] could not hide [06004] him: the fir trees [01265] were not like [01819] his boughs [05589], and the chesnut trees [06196] were not like his branches [06288]; nor any tree [06086] in the garden [01588] of God [0430] was like [01819] unto him in his beauty [03308]. 26 31 9 I have made [06213] him fair [03303] by the multitude [07230] of his branches [01808]: so that all the trees [06086] of Eden [05731], that were in the garden [01588] of God [0430], envied [07065] him. 26 31 10 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou hast lifted up [01361] thyself in height [06967], and he hath shot up [05414] his top [06788] among the thick boughs [05688], and his heart [03824] is lifted up [07311] in his height [01363]; 26 31 11 I have therefore delivered [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the mighty one [0410] of the heathen [01471]; he shall surely [06213] deal [06213] with him: I have driven him out [01644] for his wickedness [07562]. 26 31 12 And strangers [02114], the terrible [06184] of the nations [01471], have cut him off [03772], and have left [05203] him: upon the mountains [02022] and in all the valleys [01516] his branches [01808] are fallen [05307], and his boughs [06288] are broken [07665] by all the rivers [0650] of the land [0776]; and all the people [05971] of the earth [0776] are gone down [03381] from his shadow [06738], and have left [05203] him. 26 31 13 Upon his ruin [04658] shall all the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064] remain [07931], and all the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] shall be upon his branches [06288]: 26 31 14 To the end that none of all the trees [06086] by the waters [04325] exalt [01361] themselves for their height [06967], neither shoot up [05414] their top [06788] among the thick boughs [05688], neither their trees [0352] stand up [05975] in their height [01363], all that drink [08354] water [04325]: for they are all delivered [05414] unto death [04194], to the nether parts [08482] of the earth [0776], in the midst [08432] of the children [01121] of men [0120], with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953]. 26 31 15 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In the day [03117] when he went down [03381] to the grave [07585] I caused a mourning [056]: I covered [03680] the deep [08415] for him, and I restrained [04513] the floods [05104] thereof, and the great [07227] waters [04325] were stayed [03607]: and I caused Lebanon [03844] to mourn [06937] for him, and all the trees [06086] of the field [07704] fainted [05969] for him. 26 31 16 I made the nations [01471] to shake [07493] at the sound [06963] of his fall [04658], when I cast him down [03381] to hell [07585] with them that descend [03381] into the pit [0953]: and all the trees [06086] of Eden [05731], the choice [04005] and best [02896] of Lebanon [03844], all that drink [08354] water [04325], shall be comforted [05162] in the nether parts [08482] of the earth [0776]. 26 31 17 They also went down [03381] into hell [07585] with him unto them that be slain [02491] with the sword [02719]; and they that were his arm [02220], that dwelt [03427] under his shadow [06738] in the midst [08432] of the heathen [01471]. 26 31 18 To whom art thou thus like [01819] in glory [03519] and in greatness [01433] among the trees [06086] of Eden [05731]? yet shalt thou be brought down [03381] with the trees [06086] of Eden [05731] unto the nether parts [08482] of the earth [0776]: thou shalt lie [07901] in the midst [08432] of the uncircumcised [06189] with them that be slain [02491] by the sword [02719]. This is Pharaoh [06547] and all his multitude [01995], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 32 1 And it came to pass in the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141], in the twelfth month [02320], in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 32 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], take up [05375] a lamentation [07015] for Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and say [0559] unto him, Thou art like [01819] a young lion [03715] of the nations [01471], and thou art as a whale [08577] [08565] in the seas [03220]: and thou camest forth [01518] with thy rivers [05104], and troubledst [01804] the waters [04325] with thy feet [07272], and fouledst [07515] their rivers [05104]. 26 32 3 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will therefore spread out [06566] my net [07568] over thee with a company [06951] of many [07227] people [05971]; and they shall bring thee up [05927] in my net [02764]. 26 32 4 Then will I leave [05203] thee upon the land [0776], I will cast thee forth [02904] upon the open [06440] field [07704], and will cause all the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064] to remain [07931] upon thee, and I will fill [07646] the beasts [02416] of the whole earth [0776] with thee. 26 32 5 And I will lay [05414] thy flesh [01320] upon the mountains [02022], and fill [04390] the valleys [01516] with thy height [07419]. 26 32 6 I will also water [08248] with thy blood [01818] the land [0776] wherein thou swimmest [06824], even to the mountains [02022]; and the rivers [0650] shall be full [04390] of thee. 26 32 7 And when I shall put thee out [03518], I will cover [03680] the heaven [08064], and make [06937] the stars [03556] thereof dark [06937]; I will cover [03680] the sun [08121] with a cloud [06051], and the moon [03394] shall not give [0215] her light [0216]. 26 32 8 All the bright [03974] lights [0216] of heaven [08064] will I make dark [06937] over thee, and set [05414] darkness [02822] upon thy land [0776], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 32 9 I will also vex [03707] the hearts [03820] of many [07227] people [05971], when I shall bring [0935] thy destruction [07667] among the nations [01471], into the countries [0776] which thou hast not known [03045]. 26 32 10 Yea, I will make many [07227] people [05971] amazed [08074] at thee, and their kings [04428] shall be horribly [08178] afraid [08175] for thee, when I shall brandish [05774] my sword [02719] before them [06440]; and they shall tremble [02729] at every moment [07281], every man [0376] for his own life [05315], in the day [03117] of thy fall [04658]. 26 32 11 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; The sword [02719] of the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall come [0935] upon thee. 26 32 12 By the swords [02719] of the mighty [01368] will I cause thy multitude [01995] to fall [05307], the terrible [06184] of the nations [01471], all of them: and they shall spoil [07703] the pomp [01347] of Egypt [04714], and all the multitude [01995] thereof shall be destroyed [08045]. 26 32 13 I will destroy [06] also all the beasts [0929] thereof from [05921] beside the great [07227] waters [04325]; neither shall the foot [07272] of man [0120] trouble [01804] them any more, nor the hoofs [06541] of beasts [0929] trouble [01804] them. 26 32 14 Then will I make their waters [04325] deep [08257], and cause their rivers [05104] to run [03212] like oil [08081], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 32 15 When I shall make [05414] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] desolate [08077], and the country [0776] shall be destitute [08074] of that whereof it was full [04393], when I shall smite [05221] all them that dwell [03427] therein, then shall they know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 32 16 This is the lamentation [07015] wherewith they shall lament [06969] her: the daughters [01323] of the nations [01471] shall lament [06969] her: they shall lament [06969] for her, even for Egypt [04714], and for all her multitude [01995], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 32 17 It came to pass also in the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141], in the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day of the month [02320], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 32 18 Son [01121] of man [0120], wail [05091] for the multitude [01995] of Egypt [04714], and cast them down [03381], even her, and the daughters [01323] of the famous [0117] nations [01471], unto the nether parts [08482] of the earth [0776], with them that go down [03381] into the pit [0953]. 26 32 19 Whom dost thou pass in beauty [05276]? go down [03381], and be thou laid [07901] with the uncircumcised [06189]. 26 32 20 They shall fall [05307] in the midst [08432] of them that are slain [02491] by the sword [02719]: she is delivered [05414] to the sword [02719]: draw [04900] her and all her multitudes [01995]. 26 32 21 The strong [0410] among the mighty [01368] shall speak [01696] to him out of the midst [08432] of hell [07585] with them that help [05826] him: they are gone down [03381], they lie [07901] uncircumcised [06189], slain [02491] by the sword [02719]. 26 32 22 Asshur [0804] is there and all her company [06951]: his graves [06913] are about [05439] him: all of them slain [02491], fallen [05307] by the sword [02719]: 26 32 23 Whose graves [06913] are set [05414] in the sides [03411] of the pit [0953], and her company [06951] is round about [05439] her grave [06900]: all of them slain [02491], fallen [05307] by the sword [02719], which caused [05414] terror [02851] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 26 32 24 There is Elam [05867] and all her multitude [01995] round about [05439] her grave [06900], all of them slain [02491], fallen [05307] by the sword [02719], which are gone down [03381] uncircumcised [06189] into the nether parts [08482] of the earth [0776], which caused [05414] their terror [02851] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]; yet have they borne [05375] their shame [03639] with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953]. 26 32 25 They have set [05414] her a bed [04904] in the midst [08432] of the slain [02491] with all her multitude [01995]: her graves [06913] are round about [05439] him: all of them uncircumcised [06189], slain [02491] by the sword [02719]: though their terror [02851] was caused [05414] in the land [0776] of the living [02416], yet have they borne [05375] their shame [03639] with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953]: he is put [05414] in the midst [08432] of them that be slain [02491]. 26 32 26 There is Meshech [04902], Tubal [08422], and all her multitude [01995]: her graves [06913] are round about [05439] him: all of them uncircumcised [06189], slain [02490] by the sword [02719], though they caused [05414] their terror [02851] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 26 32 27 And they shall not lie [07901] with the mighty [01368] that are fallen [05307] of the uncircumcised [06189], which are gone down [03381] to hell [07585] with their weapons [03627] of war [04421]: and they have laid [05414] their swords [02719] under their heads [07218], but their iniquities [05771] shall be upon their bones [06106], though they were the terror [02851] of the mighty [01368] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]. 26 32 28 Yea, thou shalt be broken [07665] in the midst [08432] of the uncircumcised [06189], and shalt lie [07901] with them that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719]. 26 32 29 There is Edom [0123], her kings [04428], and all her princes [05387], which with their might [01369] are laid [05414] by them that were slain [02491] by the sword [02719]: they shall lie [07901] with the uncircumcised [06189], and with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953]. 26 32 30 There be the princes [05257] of the north [06828], all of them, and all the Zidonians [06722], which are gone down [03381] with the slain [02491]; with their terror [02851] they are ashamed [0954] of their might [01369]; and they lie [07901] uncircumcised [06189] with them that be slain [02491] by the sword [02719], and bear [05375] their shame [03639] with them that go down [03381] to the pit [0953]. 26 32 31 Pharaoh [06547] shall see [07200] them, and shall be comforted [05162] over all his multitude [01995], even Pharaoh [06547] and all his army [02428] slain [02491] by the sword [02719], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 32 32 For I have caused [05414] my terror [02851] in the land [0776] of the living [02416]: and he shall be laid [07901] in the midst [08432] of the uncircumcised [06189] with them that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719], even Pharaoh [06547] and all his multitude [01995], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 33 1 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 33 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], speak [01696] to the children [01121] of thy people [05971], and say [0559] unto them, When I bring [0935] the sword [02719] upon a land [0776], if the people [05971] of the land [0776] take [03947] a [0259] man [0376] of their coasts [07097], and set [05414] him for their watchman [06822]: 26 33 3 If when he seeth [07200] the sword [02719] come [0935] upon the land [0776], he blow [08628] the trumpet [07782], and warn [02094] the people [05971]; 26 33 4 Then whosoever [08085] heareth [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], and taketh not warning [02094]; if the sword [02719] come [0935], and take him away [03947], his blood [01818] shall be upon his own head [07218]. 26 33 5 He heard [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], and took not warning [02094]; his blood [01818] shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning [02094] shall deliver [04422] his soul [05315]. 26 33 6 But if the watchman [06822] see [07200] the sword [02719] come [0935], and blow [08628] not the trumpet [07782], and the people [05971] be not warned [02094]; if the sword [02719] come [0935], and take [03947] any person [05315] from among them, he is taken away [03947] in his iniquity [05771]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01875] at the watchman's [06822] hand [03027]. 26 33 7 So thou, O son [01121] of man [0120], I have set [05414] thee a watchman [06822] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; therefore thou shalt hear [08085] the word [01697] at my mouth [06310], and warn [02094] them from me. 26 33 8 When I say [0559] unto the wicked [07563], O wicked [07563] man, thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]; if thou dost not speak [01696] to warn [02094] the wicked [07563] from his way [01870], that wicked [07563] man shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but his blood [01818] will I require [01245] at thine hand [03027]. 26 33 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn [02094] the wicked [07563] of his way [01870] to turn [07725] from it; if he do not turn [07725] from his way [01870], he shall die [04191] in his iniquity [05771]; but thou hast delivered [05337] thy soul [05315]. 26 33 10 Therefore, O thou son [01121] of man [0120], speak [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Thus ye speak [0559], saying [0559], If our transgressions [06588] and our sins [02403] be upon us, and we pine away [04743] in them, how should we then live [02421]? 26 33 11 Say [0559] unto them, As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I have no pleasure [02654] in the death [04194] of the wicked [07563]; but that the wicked [07563] turn [07725] from his way [01870] and live [02421]: turn [07725] ye, turn [07725] ye from your evil [07451] ways [01870]; for why will ye die [04191], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]? 26 33 12 Therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], say [0559] unto the children [01121] of thy people [05971], The righteousness [06666] of the righteous [06662] shall not deliver [05337] him in the day [03117] of his transgression [06588]: as for the wickedness [07564] of the wicked [07563], he shall not fall [03782] thereby in the day [03117] that he turneth [07725] from his wickedness [07562]; neither shall the righteous [06662] be able [03201] to live [02421] for his righteousness in the day [03117] that he sinneth [02398]. 26 33 13 When I shall say [0559] to the righteous [06662], that he shall surely [02421] live [02421]; if he trust [0982] to his own righteousness [06666], and commit [06213] iniquity [05766], all his righteousnesses [06666] shall not be remembered [02142]; but for his iniquity [05766] that he hath committed [06213], he shall die [04191] for it. 26 33 14 Again, when I say [0559] unto the wicked [07563], Thou shalt surely [04191] die [04191]; if he turn [07725] from his sin [02403], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666]; 26 33 15 If the wicked [07563] restore [07725] the pledge [02258], give again [07999] that he had robbed [01500], walk [01980] in the statutes [02708] of life [02416], without committing [06213] iniquity [05766]; he shall surely [02421] live [02421], he shall not die [04191]. 26 33 16 None of his sins [02403] that he hath committed [02398] shall be mentioned [02142] unto him: he hath done [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666]; he shall surely [02421] live [02421]. 26 33 17 Yet the children [01121] of thy people [05971] say [0559], The way [01870] of the Lord [0136] is not equal [08505]: but as for them, their way [01870] is not equal [08505]. 26 33 18 When the righteous [06662] turneth [07725] from his righteousness [06666], and committeth [06213] iniquity [05766], he shall even die [04191] thereby. 26 33 19 But if the wicked [07563] turn [07725] from his wickedness [07564], and do [06213] that which is lawful [04941] and right [06666], he shall live [02421] thereby. 26 33 20 Yet ye say [0559], The way [01870] of the Lord [0136] is not equal [08505]. O ye house [01004] of Israel [03478], I will judge [08199] you every one [0376] after his ways [01870]. 26 33 21 And it came to pass in the twelfth [08147] [06240] year [08141] of our captivity [01546], in the tenth [06224] month, in the fifth [02568] day of the month [02320], that one that had escaped [06412] out of Jerusalem [03389] came [0935] unto me, saying [0559], The city [05892] is smitten [05221]. 26 33 22 Now the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was upon me in the evening [06153], afore [06440] he that was escaped [06412] came [0935]; and had opened [06605] my mouth [06310], until he came [0935] to me in the morning [01242]; and my mouth [06310] was opened [06605], and I was no more dumb [0481]. 26 33 23 Then the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 33 24 Son [01121] of man [0120], they that inhabit [03427] those wastes [02723] of the land [0127] of Israel [03478] speak [0559], saying [0559], Abraham [085] was one [0259], and he inherited [03423] the land [0776]: but we are many [07227]; the land [0776] is given [05414] us for inheritance [04181]. 26 33 25 Wherefore say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Ye eat [0398] with the blood [01818], and lift up [05375] your eyes [05869] toward your idols [01544], and shed [08210] blood [01818]: and shall ye possess [03423] the land [0776]? 26 33 26 Ye stand [05975] upon your sword [02719], ye work [06213] abomination [08441], and ye defile [02930] every one [0376] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]: and shall ye possess [03423] the land [0776]? 26 33 27 Say [0559] thou thus unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; As I live [02416], surely they that are in the wastes [02723] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], and him that is in the open [06440] field [07704] will I give [05414] to the beasts [02416] to be devoured [0398], and they that be in the forts [04679] and in the caves [04631] shall die [04191] of the pestilence [01698]. 26 33 28 For I will lay [05414] the land [0776] most [04923] desolate [08077], and the pomp [01347] of her strength [05797] shall cease [07673]; and the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478] shall be desolate [08074], that none shall pass through [05674]. 26 33 29 Then shall they know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have laid [05414] the land [0776] most [04923] desolate [08077] because of all their abominations [08441] which they have committed [06213]. 26 33 30 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], the children [01121] of thy people [05971] still are talking [01696] against [0681] thee by the walls [07023] and in the doors [06607] of the houses [01004], and speak [01696] one [02297] to another [0259], every one [0376] to his brother [0251], saying [0559], Come [0935], I pray you, and hear [08085] what is the word [01697] that cometh forth [03318] from the LORD [03068]. 26 33 31 And they come [0935] unto thee as the people [05971] cometh [03996], and they sit [03427] before [06440] thee as my people [05971], and they hear [08085] thy words [01697], but they will not do [06213] them: for with their mouth [06310] they shew [06213] much love [05690], but their heart [03820] goeth [01980] after [0310] their covetousness [01215]. 26 33 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely [05690] song [07892] of one that hath a pleasant [03303] voice [06963], and can play well [02895] on an instrument [05059]: for they hear [08085] thy words [01697], but they do [06213] them not. 26 33 33 And when this cometh to pass [0935], (lo, it will come [0935] then shall they know [03045] that a prophet [05030] hath been among [08432] them. 26 34 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 34 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] against the shepherds [07462] of Israel [03478], prophesy [05012], and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto the shepherds [07462]; Woe [01945] be to the shepherds [07462] of Israel [03478] that do feed [07462] themselves! should not the shepherds [07462] feed [07462] the flocks [06629]? 26 34 3 Ye eat [0398] the fat [02459], and ye clothe [03847] you with the wool [06785], ye kill [02076] them that are fed [01277]: but ye feed [07462] not the flock [06629]. 26 34 4 The diseased [02470] have ye not strengthened [02388], neither have ye healed [07495] that which was sick [02470], neither have ye bound up [02280] that which was broken [07665], neither have ye brought again [07725] that which was driven away [05080], neither have ye sought [01245] that which was lost [06]; but with force [02394] and with cruelty [06531] have ye ruled [07287] them. 26 34 5 And they were scattered [06327], because there is no shepherd [07462]: and they became meat [0402] to all the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], when they were scattered [06327]. 26 34 6 My sheep [06629] wandered [07686] through all the mountains [02022], and upon every high [07311] hill [01389]: yea, my flock [06629] was scattered [06327] upon all the face [06440] of the earth [0776], and none did search [01875] or seek [01245] after them. 26 34 7 Therefore, ye shepherds [07462], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; 26 34 8 As I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], surely because my flock [06629] became a prey [0957], and my flock [06629] became meat [0402] to every beast [02416] of the field [07704], because there was no shepherd [07462], neither did my shepherds [07462] search [01875] for my flock [06629], but the shepherds [07462] fed [07462] themselves, and fed [07462] not my flock [06629]; 26 34 9 Therefore, O ye shepherds [07462], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]; 26 34 10 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against the shepherds [07462]; and I will require [01875] my flock [06629] at their hand [03027], and cause them to cease [07673] from feeding [07462] the flock [06629]; neither shall the shepherds [07462] feed [07462] themselves any more; for I will deliver [05337] my flock [06629] from their mouth [06310], that they may not be meat [0402] for them. 26 34 11 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I, even I, will both search [01875] my sheep [06629], and seek them out [01239]. 26 34 12 As a shepherd [07462] seeketh out [01243] his flock [05739] in the day [03117] that he is among [08432] his sheep [06629] that are scattered [06567]; so will I seek out [01239] my sheep [06629], and will deliver [05337] them out of all places [04725] where they have been scattered [06327] in the cloudy [06051] and dark [06205] day [03117]. 26 34 13 And I will bring them out [03318] from the people [05971], and gather [06908] them from the countries [0776], and will bring [0935] them to their own land [0127], and feed [07462] them upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478] by the rivers [0650], and in all the inhabited places [04186] of the country [0776]. 26 34 14 I will feed [07462] them in a good [02896] pasture [04829], and upon the high [04791] mountains [02022] of Israel [03478] shall their fold [05116] be: there shall they lie [07257] in a good [02896] fold [05116], and in a fat [08082] pasture [04829] shall they feed [07462] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478]. 26 34 15 I will feed [07462] my flock [06629], and I will cause them to lie down [07257], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 34 16 I will seek [01245] that which was lost [06], and bring again [07725] that which was driven away [05080], and will bind up [02280] that which was broken [07665], and will strengthen [02388] that which was sick [02470]: but I will destroy [08045] the fat [08082] and the strong [02389]; I will feed [07462] them with judgment [04941]. 26 34 17 And as for you [0859], O my flock [06629], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I judge [08199] between cattle [07716] and cattle [07716], between the rams [0352] and the he goats [06260]. 26 34 18 Seemeth it a small thing [04592] unto you to have eaten up [07462] the good [02896] pasture [04829], but ye must tread down [07429] with your feet [07272] the residue [03499] of your pastures [04829]? and to have drunk [08354] of the deep [04950] waters [04325], but ye must foul [07515] the residue [03498] with your feet [07272]? 26 34 19 And as for my flock [06629], they eat [07462] that which ye have trodden [04823] with your feet [07272]; and they drink [08354] that which ye have fouled [04833] with your feet [07272]. 26 34 20 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge [08199] between the fat [01274] cattle [07716] and between the lean [07330] cattle [07716]. 26 34 21 Because ye have thrust [01920] with side [06654] and with shoulder [03802], and pushed [05055] all the diseased [02470] with your horns [07161], till ye have scattered [06327] them abroad [02351]; 26 34 22 Therefore will I save [03467] my flock [06629], and they shall no more be a prey [0957]; and I will judge [08199] between cattle [07716] and cattle [07716]. 26 34 23 And I will set up [06965] one [0259] shepherd [07462] over them, and he shall feed [07462] them, even my servant [05650] David [01732]; he shall feed [07462] them, and he shall be their shepherd [07462]. 26 34 24 And I the LORD [03068] will be their God [0430], and my servant [05650] David [01732] a prince [05387] among [08432] them; I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it. 26 34 25 And I will make [03772] with them a covenant [01285] of peace [07965], and will cause the evil [07451] beasts [02416] to cease [07673] out of the land [0776]: and they shall dwell [03427] safely [0983] in the wilderness [04057], and sleep [03462] in the woods [03293] [03264]. 26 34 26 And I will make [05414] them and the places round about [05439] my hill [01389] a blessing [01293]; and I will cause the shower [01653] to come down [03381] in his season [06256]; there shall be showers [01653] of blessing [01293]. 26 34 27 And the tree [06086] of the field [07704] shall yield [05414] her fruit [06529], and the earth [0776] shall yield [05414] her increase [02981], and they shall be safe [0983] in their land [0127], and shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have broken [07665] the bands [04133] of their yoke [05923], and delivered [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of those that served [05647] themselves of them. 26 34 28 And they shall no more be a prey [0957] to the heathen [01471], neither shall the beast [02416] of the land [0776] devour [0398] them; but they shall dwell [03427] safely [0983], and none shall make them afraid [02729]. 26 34 29 And I will raise up [06965] for them a plant [04302] of renown [08034], and they shall be no more consumed [0622] with hunger [07458] in the land [0776], neither bear [05375] the shame [03639] of the heathen [01471] any more. 26 34 30 Thus shall they know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] their God [0430] am with them, and that they, even the house [01004] of Israel [03478], are my people [05971], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 34 31 And ye [0859] my flock [06629], the flock [06629] of my pasture [04830], are men [0120], and I am your God [0430], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 35 1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 35 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against mount [02022] Seir [08165], and prophesy [05012] against it, 26 35 3 And say [0559] unto it, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O mount [02022] Seir [08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] against thee, and I will make [05414] thee most [04923] desolate [08077]. 26 35 4 I will lay [07760] thy cities [05892] waste [02723], and thou shalt be desolate [08077], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 35 5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]: 26 35 6 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will prepare [06213] thee unto blood [01818], and blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee: sith [0518] thou hast not hated [08130] blood [01818], even blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee. 26 35 7 Thus will I make [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] most [08077] desolate [08077], and cut off [03772] from it him that passeth out [05674] and him that returneth [07725]. 26 35 8 And I will fill [04390] his mountains [02022] with his slain [02491] men: in thy hills [01389], and in thy valleys [01516], and in all thy rivers [0650], shall they fall [05307] that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719]. 26 35 9 I will make [05414] thee perpetual [05769] desolations [08077], and thy cities [05892] shall not return [07725] [03427]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 35 10 Because thou hast said [0559], These two [08147] nations [01471] and these two [08147] countries [0776] shall be mine, and we will possess [03423] it; whereas the LORD [03068] was there: 26 35 11 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will even do [06213] according to thine anger [0639], and according to thine envy [07068] which thou hast used [06213] out of thy hatred [08135] against them; and I will make myself known [03045] among them, when I have judged [08199] thee. 26 35 12 And thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have heard [08085] all thy blasphemies [05007] which thou hast spoken [0559] against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], They are laid desolate [08074] [08077], they are given [05414] us to consume [0402]. 26 35 13 Thus with your mouth [06310] ye have boasted [01431] against me, and have multiplied [06280] your words [01697] against me: I have heard [08085] them. 26 35 14 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When the whole earth [0776] rejoiceth [08055], I will make [06213] thee desolate [08077]. 26 35 15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 36 1 Also, thou son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] unto the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], and say [0559], Ye mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: 26 36 2 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because the enemy [0341] hath said [0559] against you, Aha [01889], even the ancient [05769] high places [01116] are ours in possession [04181]: 26 36 3 Therefore prophesy [05012] and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because they have made you desolate [08074], and swallowed you up [07602] on every side [05439], that ye might be a possession [04181] unto the residue [07611] of the heathen [01471], and ye are taken up [05927] in the lips [08193] of talkers [03956], and are an infamy [01681] of the people [05971]: 26 36 4 Therefore, ye mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] to the mountains [02022], and to the hills [01389], to the rivers [0650], and to the valleys [01516], to the desolate [08074] wastes [02723], and to the cities [05892] that are forsaken [05800], which became a prey [0957] and derision [03933] to the residue [07611] of the heathen [01471] that are round about [05439]; 26 36 5 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Surely in the fire [0784] of my jealousy [07068] have I spoken [01696] against the residue [07611] of the heathen [01471], and against all Idumea [0123], which have appointed [05414] my land [0776] into their possession [04181] with the joy [08057] of all their heart [03824], with despiteful [07589] minds [05315], to cast it out [04054] for a prey [0957]. 26 36 6 Prophesy [05012] therefore concerning the land [0127] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto the mountains [02022], and to the hills [01389], to the rivers [0650], and to the valleys [01516], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I have spoken [01696] in my jealousy [07068] and in my fury [02534], because ye have borne [05375] the shame [03639] of the heathen [01471]: 26 36 7 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I have lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027], Surely the heathen [01471] that are about [05439] you, they shall bear [05375] their shame [03639]. 26 36 8 But ye, O mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], ye shall shoot forth [05414] your branches [06057], and yield [05375] your fruit [06529] to my people [05971] of Israel [03478]; for they are at hand [07126] to come [0935]. 26 36 9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn [06437] unto you, and ye shall be tilled [05647] and sown [02232]: 26 36 10 And I will multiply [07235] men [0120] upon you, all the house [01004] of Israel [03478], even all of it: and the cities [05892] shall be inhabited [03427], and the wastes [02723] shall be builded [01129]: 26 36 11 And I will multiply [07235] upon you man [0120] and beast [0929]; and they shall increase [07235] and bring fruit [06509]: and I will settle [03427] you after your old estates [06927], and will do better [02895] unto you than at your beginnings [07221]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 36 12 Yea, I will cause men [0120] to walk [03212] upon you, even my people [05971] Israel [03478]; and they shall possess [03423] thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance [05159], and thou shalt no more [03254] henceforth bereave [07921] them of men. 26 36 13 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because they say [0559] unto you, Thou land devourest up [0398] men [0120], and hast bereaved [07921] thy nations [01471]; 26 36 14 Therefore thou shalt devour [0398] men [0120] no more, neither bereave [07921] [03782] thy nations [01471] any more, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 36 15 Neither will I cause men to hear [08085] in thee the shame [03639] of the heathen [01471] any more, neither shalt thou bear [05375] the reproach [02781] of the people [05971] any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations [01471] to fall [03782] any more, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 36 16 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 36 17 Son [01121] of man [0120], when the house [01004] of Israel [03478] dwelt [03427] in their own land [0127], they defiled [02930] it by their own way [01870] and by their doings [05949]: their way [01870] was before [06440] me as the uncleanness [02932] of a removed woman [05079]. 26 36 18 Wherefore I poured [08210] my fury [02534] upon them for the blood [01818] that they had shed [08210] upon the land [0776], and for their idols [01544] wherewith they had polluted [02930] it: 26 36 19 And I scattered [06327] them among the heathen [01471], and they were dispersed [02219] through the countries [0776]: according to their way [01870] and according to their doings [05949] I judged [08199] them. 26 36 20 And when they entered [0935] unto the heathen [01471], whither they went [0935], they profaned [02490] my holy [06944] name [08034], when they said [0559] to them, These are the people [05971] of the LORD [03068], and are gone forth [03318] out of his land [0776]. 26 36 21 But I had pity [02550] for mine holy [06944] name [08034], which the house [01004] of Israel [03478] had profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], whither they went [0935]. 26 36 22 Therefore say [0559] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I do [06213] not this for your sakes, O house [01004] of Israel [03478], but for mine holy [06944] name's [08034] sake, which ye have profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], whither ye went [0935]. 26 36 23 And I will sanctify [06942] my great [01419] name [08034], which was profaned [02490] among the heathen [01471], which ye have profaned [02490] in the midst [08432] of them; and the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], when I shall be sanctified [06942] in you before their eyes [05869]. 26 36 24 For I will take [03947] you from among [04480] the heathen [01471], and gather [06908] you out of all countries [0776], and will bring [0935] you into your own land [0127]. 26 36 25 Then will I sprinkle [02236] clean [02889] water [04325] upon you, and ye shall be clean [02891]: from all your filthiness [02932], and from all your idols [01544], will I cleanse [02891] you. 26 36 26 A new [02319] heart [03820] also will I give [05414] you, and a new [02319] spirit [07307] will I put [05414] within [07130] you: and I will take away [05493] the stony [068] heart [03820] out of your flesh [01320], and I will give [05414] you an heart [03820] of flesh [01320]. 26 36 27 And I will put [05414] my spirit [07307] within [07130] you, and cause [06213] you to walk [03212] in my statutes [02706], and ye shall keep [08104] my judgments [04941], and do [06213] them. 26 36 28 And ye shall dwell [03427] in the land [0776] that I gave [05414] to your fathers [01]; and ye shall be my people [05971], and I will be your God [0430]. 26 36 29 I will also save [03467] you from all your uncleannesses [02932]: and I will call [07121] for the corn [01715], and will increase [07235] it, and lay [05414] no famine [07458] upon you. 26 36 30 And I will multiply [07235] the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086], and the increase [08570] of the field [07704], that ye shall receive [03947] no more reproach [02781] of famine [07458] among the heathen [01471]. 26 36 31 Then shall ye remember [02142] your own evil [07451] ways [01870], and your doings [04611] that were not good [02896], and shall lothe [06962] yourselves in your own sight [06440] for your iniquities [05771] and for your abominations [08441]. 26 36 32 Not for your sakes do [06213] I this, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], be it known [03045] unto you: be ashamed [0954] and confounded [03637] for your own ways [01870], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 36 33 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In the day [03117] that I shall have cleansed [02891] you from all your iniquities [05771] I will also cause you to dwell [03427] in the cities [05892], and the wastes [02723] shall be builded [01129]. 26 36 34 And the desolate [08074] land [0776] shall be tilled [05647], whereas it lay desolate [08077] in the sight [05869] of all that passed by [05674]. 26 36 35 And they shall say [0559], This [01977] land [0776] that was desolate [08074] is become like the garden [01588] of Eden [05731]; and the waste [02720] and desolate [08074] and ruined [02040] cities [05892] are become fenced [01219], and are inhabited [03427]. 26 36 36 Then the heathen [01471] that are left [07604] round about [05439] you shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] build [01129] the ruined [02040] places, and plant [05193] that that was desolate [08074]: I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it, and I will do [06213] it. 26 36 37 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will yet for this be enquired [01875] of by the house [01004] of Israel [03478], to do [06213] it for them; I will increase [07235] them with men [0120] like a flock [06629]. 26 36 38 As the holy [06944] flock [06629], as the flock [06629] of Jerusalem [03389] in her solemn feasts [04150]; so shall the waste [02720] cities [05892] be filled [04392] with flocks [06629] of men [0120]: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 37 1 The hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was upon me, and carried me out [03318] in the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068], and set me down [05117] in the midst [08432] of the valley [01237] which was full [04392] of bones [06106], 26 37 2 And caused me to pass [05674] by them round about [05439]: and, behold, there were very [03966] many [07227] in the open [06440] valley [01237]; and, lo, they were very [03966] dry [03002]. 26 37 3 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], can these bones [06106] live [02421]? And I answered [0559], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], thou knowest [03045]. 26 37 4 Again he said [0559] unto me, Prophesy [05012] upon these bones [06106], and say [0559] unto them, O ye dry [03002] bones [06106], hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 26 37 5 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto these bones [06106]; Behold, I will cause breath [07307] to enter [0935] into you, and ye shall live [02421]: 26 37 6 And I will lay [05414] sinews [01517] upon you, and will bring up [05927] flesh [01320] upon you, and cover [07159] you with skin [05785], and put [05414] breath [07307] in you, and ye shall live [02421]; and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 37 7 So I prophesied [05012] as I was commanded [06680]: and as I prophesied [05012], there was a noise [06963], and behold a shaking [07494], and the bones [06106] came together [07126], bone [06106] to his bone [06106]. 26 37 8 And when I beheld [07200], lo, the sinews [01517] and the flesh [01320] came up [05927] upon them, and the skin [05785] covered [07159] them above [04605]: but there was no breath [07307] in them. 26 37 9 Then said [0559] he unto me, Prophesy [05012] unto the wind [07307], prophesy [05012], son [01121] of man [0120], and say [0559] to the wind [07307], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Come [0935] from the four [0702] winds [07307], O breath [07307], and breathe [05301] upon these slain [02026], that they may live [02421]. 26 37 10 So I prophesied [05012] as he commanded [06680] me, and the breath [07307] came [0935] into them, and they lived [02421], and stood up [05975] upon their feet [07272], an exceeding [03966] [03966] great [01419] army [02428]. 26 37 11 Then he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], these bones [06106] are the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478]: behold, they say [0559], Our bones [06106] are dried [03001], and our hope [08615] is lost [06]: we are cut off [01504] for our parts. 26 37 12 Therefore prophesy [05012] and say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O my people [05971], I will open [06605] your graves [06913], and cause you to come up [05927] out of your graves [06913], and bring [0935] you into the land [0127] of Israel [03478]. 26 37 13 And ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], when I have opened [06605] your graves [06913], O my people [05971], and brought you up [05927] out of your graves [06913], 26 37 14 And shall put [05414] my spirit [07307] in you, and ye shall live [02421], and I shall place [03240] you in your own land [0127]: then shall ye know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] have spoken [01696] it, and performed [06213] it, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 26 37 15 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came again unto me, saying [0559], 26 37 16 Moreover, thou son [01121] of man [0120], take [03947] thee one [0259] stick [06086], and write [03789] upon it, For Judah [03063], and for the children [01121] of Israel [03478] his companions [02270]: then take [03947] another [0259] stick [06086], and write [03789] upon it, For Joseph [03130], the stick [06086] of Ephraim [0669], and for all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] his companions [02270]: 26 37 17 And join [07126] them one [0259] to another [0259] into one [0259] stick [06086]; and they shall become one [0259] in thine hand [03027]. 26 37 18 And when the children [01121] of thy people [05971] shall speak [0559] unto thee, saying [0559], Wilt thou not shew [05046] us what thou meanest by these? 26 37 19 Say [01696] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will take [03947] the stick [06086] of Joseph [03130], which is in the hand [03027] of Ephraim [0669], and the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] his fellows [02270], and will put [05414] them with him, even with the stick [06086] of Judah [03063], and make [06213] them one [0259] stick [06086], and they shall be one [0259] in mine hand [03027]. 26 37 20 And the sticks [06086] whereon thou writest [03789] shall be in thine hand [03027] before their eyes [05869]. 26 37 21 And say [01696] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I will take [03947] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from among [0996] the heathen [01471], whither they be gone [01980], and will gather [06908] them on every side [05439], and bring [0935] them into their own land [0127]: 26 37 22 And I will make [06213] them one [0259] nation [01471] in the land [0776] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478]; and one [0259] king [04428] shall be king [04428] to them all: and they shall be [05750] no more two [08147] nations [01471], neither shall they be divided [02673] into two [08147] kingdoms [04467] any more at all: 26 37 23 Neither shall they defile [02930] themselves any more with their idols [01544], nor with their detestable things [08251], nor with any of their transgressions [06588]: but I will save [03467] them out of all their dwellingplaces [04186], wherein they have sinned [02398], and will cleanse [02891] them: so shall they be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430]. 26 37 24 And David [01732] my servant [05650] shall be king [04428] over them; and they all shall have one [0259] shepherd [07462]: they shall also walk [03212] in my judgments [04941], and observe [08104] my statutes [02708], and do [06213] them. 26 37 25 And they shall dwell [03427] in the land [0776] that I have given [05414] unto Jacob [03290] my servant [05650], wherein your fathers [01] have dwelt [03427]; and they shall dwell [03427] therein, even they, and their children [01121], and their children's [01121] children [01121] for ever [05769]: and my servant [05650] David [01732] shall be their prince [05387] for [05704] ever [05769]. 26 37 26 Moreover I will make [03772] a covenant [01285] of peace [07965] with them; it shall be an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285] with them: and I will place [05414] them, and multiply [07235] them, and will set [05414] my sanctuary [04720] in the midst [08432] of them for evermore [05769]. 26 37 27 My tabernacle [04908] also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God [0430], and they shall be my people [05971]. 26 37 28 And the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that I the LORD [03068] do sanctify [06942] Israel [03478], when my sanctuary [04720] shall be in the midst [08432] of them for evermore [05769]. 26 38 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 26 38 2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against Gog [01463], the land [0776] of Magog [04031], the chief [07218] prince [05387] of Meshech [04902] and Tubal [08422], and prophesy [05012] against him, 26 38 3 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog [01463], the chief [07218] prince [05387] of Meshech [04902] and Tubal [08422]: 26 38 4 And I will turn thee back [07725], and put [05414] hooks [02397] into thy jaws [03895], and I will bring thee forth [03318], and all thine army [02428], horses [05483] and horsemen [06571], all of them clothed [03847] with all sorts [04358] of armour, even a great [07227] company [06951] with bucklers [06793] and shields [04043], all of them handling [08610] swords [02719]: 26 38 5 Persia [06539], Ethiopia [03568], and Libya [06316] with them; all of them with shield [04043] and helmet [03553]: 26 38 6 Gomer [01586], and all his bands [0102]; the house [01004] of Togarmah [08425] of the north [06828] quarters [03411], and all his bands [0102]: and many [07227] people [05971] with thee. 26 38 7 Be thou prepared [03559], and prepare [03559] for thyself, thou, and all thy company [06951] that are assembled [06950] unto thee, and be thou a guard [04929] unto them. 26 38 8 After many [07227] days [03117] thou shalt be visited [06485]: in the latter [0319] years [08141] thou shalt come [0935] into the land [0776] that is brought back [07725] from the sword [02719], and is gathered [06908] out of many [07227] people [05971], against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], which have been always [08548] waste [02723]: but it is brought forth [03318] out of the nations [05971], and they shall dwell [03427] safely [0983] all of them. 26 38 9 Thou shalt ascend [05927] and come [0935] like a storm [07722], thou shalt be like a cloud [06051] to cover [03680] the land [0776], thou, and all thy bands [0102], and many [07227] people [05971] with thee. 26 38 10 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time [03117] shall things [01697] come [05927] into thy mind [03824], and thou shalt think [02803] an evil [07451] thought [04284]: 26 38 11 And thou shalt say [0559], I will go up [05927] to the land [0776] of unwalled villages [06519]; I will go [0935] to them that are at rest [08252], that dwell [03427] safely [0983], all of them dwelling [03427] without walls [02346], and having neither bars [01280] nor gates [01817], 26 38 12 To take [07997] a spoil [07998], and to take [0962] a prey [0957]; to turn [07725] thine hand [03027] upon the desolate places [02723] that are now inhabited [03427], and upon the people [05971] that are gathered [0622] out of the nations [01471], which have gotten [06213] cattle [04735] and goods [07075], that dwell [03427] in the midst [02872] of the land [0776]. 26 38 13 Sheba [07614], and Dedan [01719], and the merchants [05503] of Tarshish [08659], with all the young lions [03715] thereof, shall say [0559] unto thee, Art thou come [0935] to take [07997] a spoil [07998]? hast thou gathered [06950] thy company [06951] to take [0962] a prey [0957]? to carry away [05375] silver [03701] and gold [02091], to take away [03947] cattle [04735] and goods [07075], to take [07997] a great [01419] spoil [07998]? 26 38 14 Therefore, son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] and say [0559] unto Gog [01463], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In that day [03117] when my people [05971] of Israel [03478] dwelleth [03427] safely [0983], shalt thou not know [03045] it? 26 38 15 And thou shalt come [0935] from thy place [04725] out of the north [06828] parts [03411], thou, and many [07227] people [05971] with thee, all of them riding [07392] upon horses [05483], a great [01419] company [06951], and a mighty [07227] army [02428]: 26 38 16 And thou shalt come up [05927] against my people [05971] of Israel [03478], as a cloud [06051] to cover [03680] the land [0776]; it shall be in the latter [0319] days [03117], and I will bring [0935] thee against my land [0776], that the heathen [01471] may know [03045] me, when I shall be sanctified [06942] in thee, O Gog [01463], before their eyes [05869]. 26 38 17 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Art thou he of whom I have spoken [01696] in old [06931] time [03117] by [03027] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030] of Israel [03478], which prophesied [05012] in those days [03117] many years [08141] that I would bring [0935] thee against them? 26 38 18 And it shall come to pass at the same time [03117] when [03117] Gog [01463] shall come [0935] against the land [0127] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that my fury [02534] shall come up [05927] in my face [0639]. 26 38 19 For in my jealousy [07068] and in the fire [0784] of my wrath [05678] have I spoken [01696], Surely in that day [03117] there shall be a great [01419] shaking [07494] in the land [0127] of Israel [03478]; 26 38 20 So that the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220], and the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], and all creeping things [07431] that creep [07430] upon the earth [0127], and all the men [0120] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127], shall shake [07493] at my presence [06440], and the mountains [02022] shall be thrown down [02040], and the steep places [04095] shall fall [05307], and every wall [02346] shall fall [05307] to the ground [0776]. 26 38 21 And I will call [07121] for a sword [02719] against him throughout all my mountains [02022], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: every man's [0376] sword [02719] shall be against his brother [0251]. 26 38 22 And I will plead [08199] against him with pestilence [01698] and with blood [01818]; and I will rain [04305] upon him, and upon his bands [0102], and upon the many [07227] people [05971] that are with him, an overflowing [07857] rain [01653], and great hailstones [0417] [068], fire [0784], and brimstone [01614]. 26 38 23 Thus will I magnify [01431] myself, and sanctify [06942] myself; and I will be known [03045] in the eyes [05869] of many [07227] nations [01471], and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 39 1 Therefore, thou son [01121] of man [0120], prophesy [05012] against Gog [01463], and say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog [01463], the chief [07218] prince [05387] of Meshech [04902] and Tubal [08422]: 26 39 2 And I will turn thee back [07725], and leave but the sixth part [08338] of thee, and will cause thee to come up [05927] from the north [06828] parts [03411], and will bring [0935] thee upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478]: 26 39 3 And I will smite [05221] thy bow [07198] out of thy left [08040] hand [03027], and will cause thine arrows [02671] to fall [05307] out of thy right [03225] hand [03027]. 26 39 4 Thou shalt fall [05307] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], thou, and all thy bands [0102], and the people [05971] that is with thee: I will give [05414] thee unto the ravenous [05861] birds [06833] of every sort [03671], and to the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] to be devoured [0402]. 26 39 5 Thou shalt fall [05307] upon the open [06440] field [07704]: for I have spoken [01696] it, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 39 6 And I will send [07971] a fire [0784] on Magog [04031], and among them that dwell [03427] carelessly [0983] in the isles [0339]: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068]. 26 39 7 So will I make my holy [06944] name [08034] known [03045] in the midst [08432] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]; and I will not let them pollute [02490] my holy [06944] name [08034] any more: and the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], the Holy One [06918] in Israel [03478]. 26 39 8 Behold, it is come [0935], and it is done [01961], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; this is the day [03117] whereof I have spoken [01696]. 26 39 9 And they that dwell [03427] in the cities [05892] of Israel [03478] shall go forth [03318], and shall set [01197] on fire [0784] and burn [05400] the weapons [05402], both the shields [04043] and the bucklers [06793], the bows [07198] and the arrows [02671], and the handstaves [03027] [04731], and the spears [07420], and they shall burn [01197] them with fire [0784] seven [07651] years [08141]: 26 39 10 So that they shall take [05375] no wood [06086] out of the field [07704], neither cut down [02404] any out of the forests [03293]; for they shall burn [01197] the weapons [05402] with fire [0784]: and they shall spoil [07997] those that spoiled [07997] them, and rob [0962] those that robbed [0962] them, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 39 11 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that I will give [05414] unto Gog [01463] a place [04725] there of graves [06913] in Israel [03478], the valley [01516] of the passengers [05674] on the east [06926] of the sea [03220]: and it shall stop [02629] the noses of the passengers [05674]: and there shall they bury [06912] Gog [01463] and all his multitude [01995]: and they shall call [07121] it The valley [01516] of Hamongog [01996]. 26 39 12 And seven [07651] months [02320] shall the house [01004] of Israel [03478] be burying [06912] of them, that they may cleanse [02891] the land [0776]. 26 39 13 Yea, all the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall bury [06912] them; and it shall be to them a renown [08034] the day [03117] that I shall be glorified [03513], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 39 14 And they shall sever out [0914] men [0582] of continual employment [08548], passing through [05674] the land [0776] to bury [06912] with the passengers [05674] those that remain [03498] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0776], to cleanse [02891] it: after the end [07097] of seven [07651] months [02320] shall they search [02713]. 26 39 15 And the passengers [05674] that pass through [05674] the land [0776], when any seeth [07200] a man's [0120] bone [06106], then shall he set up [01129] a sign [06725] by [0681] it, till the buriers [06912] have buried [06912] it in the valley [01516] of Hamongog [01996]. 26 39 16 And also the name [08034] of the city [05892] shall be Hamonah [01997]. Thus shall they cleanse [02891] the land [0776]. 26 39 17 And, thou son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Speak [0559] unto every feathered [03671] fowl [06833], and to every beast [02416] of the field [07704], Assemble [06908] yourselves, and come [0935]; gather [0622] yourselves on every side [05439] to my sacrifice [02077] that I do sacrifice [02076] for you, even a great [01419] sacrifice [02077] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], that ye may eat [0398] flesh [01320], and drink [08354] blood [01818]. 26 39 18 Ye shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of the mighty [01368], and drink [08354] the blood [01818] of the princes [05387] of the earth [0776], of rams [0352], of lambs [03733], and of goats [06260], of bullocks [06499], all of them fatlings [04806] of Bashan [01316]. 26 39 19 And ye shall eat [0398] fat [02459] till ye be full [07654], and drink [08354] blood [01818] till ye be drunken [07943], of my sacrifice [02077] which I have sacrificed [02076] for you. 26 39 20 Thus ye shall be filled [07646] at my table [07979] with horses [05483] and chariots [07393], with mighty men [01368], and with all men [0376] of war [04421], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 39 21 And I will set [05414] my glory [03519] among the heathen [01471], and all the heathen [01471] shall see [07200] my judgment [04941] that I have executed [06213], and my hand [03027] that I have laid [07760] upon them. 26 39 22 So the house [01004] of Israel [03478] shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430] from that day [03117] and forward [01973]. 26 39 23 And the heathen [01471] shall know [03045] that the house [01004] of Israel [03478] went into captivity [01540] for their iniquity [05771]: because they trespassed [04603] against me, therefore hid [05641] I my face [06440] from them, and gave [05414] them into the hand [03027] of their enemies [06862]: so fell [05307] they all by the sword [02719]. 26 39 24 According to their uncleanness [02932] and according to their transgressions [06588] have I done [06213] unto them, and hid [05641] my face [06440] from them. 26 39 25 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Now will I bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] [07622] of Jacob [03290], and have mercy [07355] upon the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478], and will be jealous [07065] for my holy [06944] name [08034]; 26 39 26 After that they have borne [05375] their shame [03639], and all their trespasses [04604] whereby they have trespassed [04603] against me, when they dwelt [03427] safely [0983] in their land [0127], and none made them afraid [02729]. 26 39 27 When I have brought them again [07725] from the people [05971], and gathered [06908] them out of their enemies [0341] ' lands [0776], and am sanctified [06942] in them in the sight [05869] of many [07227] nations [01471]; 26 39 28 Then shall they know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430], which caused them to be led into captivity [01540] among the heathen [01471]: but I have gathered [03664] them unto their own land [0127], and have left [03498] none of them any more there. 26 39 29 Neither will I hide [05641] my face [06440] any more from them: for I have poured out [08210] my spirit [07307] upon the house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 40 1 In the five [02568] and twentieth [06242] year [08141] of our captivity [01546], in the beginning [07218] of the year [08141], in the tenth [06218] day of the month [02320], in the fourteenth [0702] [06240] year [08141] after [0310] that the city [05892] was smitten [05221], in the selfsame [06106] day [03117] the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] was upon me, and brought [0935] me thither. 26 40 2 In the visions [04759] of God [0430] brought [0935] he me into the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and set [05117] me upon a very [03966] high [01364] mountain [02022], by which was as the frame [04011] of a city [05892] on the south [05045]. 26 40 3 And he brought [0935] me thither, and, behold, there was a man [0376], whose appearance [04758] was like the appearance [04758] of brass [05178], with a line [06616] of flax [06593] in his hand [03027], and a measuring [04060] reed [07070]; and he stood [05975] in the gate [08179]. 26 40 4 And the man [0376] said [01696] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], behold [07200] with thine eyes [05869], and hear [08085] with thine ears [0241], and set [07760] thine heart [03820] upon all that I shall shew [07200] thee; for to the intent [04616] that I might shew [07200] them unto thee art thou brought [0935] hither: declare [05046] all that thou seest [07200] to the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 40 5 And behold a wall [02346] on the outside [02351] of the house [01004] round about [05439], and in the man's [0376] hand [03027] a measuring [04060] reed [07070] of six [08337] cubits [0520] long by the cubit [0520] and an hand breadth [02948]: so he measured [04058] the breadth [07341] of the building [01146], one [0259] reed [07070]; and the height [06967], one [0259] reed [07070]. 26 40 6 Then came [0935] he unto the gate [08179] which looketh [06440] toward [01870] the east [06921], and went up [05927] the stairs [04609] thereof, and measured [04058] the threshold [05592] of the gate [08179], which was one [0259] reed [07070] broad [07341]; and the other [0259] threshold [05592] of the gate, which was one [0259] reed [07070] broad [07341]. 26 40 7 And every little chamber [08372] was one [0259] reed [07070] long [0753], and one [0259] reed [07070] broad [07341]; and between the little chambers [08372] were five [02568] cubits [0520]; and the threshold [05592] of the gate [08179] by [0681] the porch [0197] of the gate [08179] within [01004] was one [0259] reed [07070]. 26 40 8 He measured [04058] also the porch [0197] of the gate [08179] within [01004], one [0259] reed [07070]. 26 40 9 Then measured [04058] he the porch [0197] of the gate [08179], eight [08083] cubits [0520]; and the posts [0352] thereof, two [08147] cubits [0520]; and the porch [0197] of the gate [08179] was inward [01004]. 26 40 10 And the little chambers [08372] of the gate [08179] eastward [01870] [06921] were three [07969] on this side [06311], and three [07969] on that side [06311]; they three [07969] were of one [0259] measure [04060]: and the posts [0352] had one [0259] measure [04060] on this side and on that side. 26 40 11 And he measured [04058] the breadth [07341] of the entry [06607] of the gate [08179], ten [06235] cubits [0520]; and the length [0753] of the gate [08179], thirteen [07969] [06240] cubits [0520]. 26 40 12 The space [01366] also before [06440] the little chambers [08372] was one [0259] cubit [0520] on this side, and the space [01366] was one cubit [0520] on that side: and the little chambers [08372] were six [08337] cubits [0520] on this side, and six [08337] cubits [0520] on that side. 26 40 13 He measured [04058] then the gate [08179] from the roof [01406] of one little chamber [08372] to the roof [01406] of another: the breadth [07341] was five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520], door [06607] against door [06607]. 26 40 14 He made [06213] also posts [0352] of threescore [08346] cubits [0520], even unto the post [0352] of the court [02691] round about [05439] the gate [08179]. 26 40 15 And from the face [06440] of the gate [08179] of the entrance [02978] unto the face [06440] of the porch [0197] of the inner [06442] gate [08179] were fifty [02572] cubits [0520]. 26 40 16 And there were narrow [0331] windows [02474] to the little chambers [08372], and to their posts [0352] within [06441] the gate [08179] round about [05439], and likewise to the arches [0361]: and windows [02474] were round about [05439] inward [06441]: and upon each post [0352] were palm trees [08561]. 26 40 17 Then brought [0935] he me into the outward [02435] court [02691], and, lo, there were chambers [03957], and a pavement [07531] made [06213] for the court [02691] round about [05439]: thirty [07970] chambers [03957] were upon the pavement [07531]. 26 40 18 And the pavement [07531] by the side [03802] of the gates [08179] over against [05980] the length [0753] of the gates [08179] was the lower [08481] pavement [07531]. 26 40 19 Then he measured [04058] the breadth [07341] from the forefront [06440] of the lower [08481] gate [08179] unto the forefront [06440] of the inner [06442] court [02691] without [02351], an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] eastward [06921] and northward [06828]. 26 40 20 And the gate [08179] of the outward [02435] court [02691] that looked [06440] toward [01870] the north [06828], he measured [04058] the length [0753] thereof, and the breadth [07341] thereof. 26 40 21 And the little chambers [08372] thereof were three [07969] on this side and three [07969] on that side; and the posts [0352] thereof and the arches [0361] thereof were after the measure [04060] of the first [07223] gate [08179]: the length [0753] thereof was fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520]. 26 40 22 And their windows [02474], and their arches [0361], and their palm trees [08561], were after the measure [04060] of the gate [08179] that looketh [06440] toward [01870] the east [06921]; and they went up [05927] unto it by seven [07651] steps [04609]; and the arches [0361] thereof were before [06440] them. 26 40 23 And the gate [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691] was over against the gate [08179] toward the north [06828], and toward the east [06921]; and he measured [04058] from gate [08179] to gate [08179] an hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 26 40 24 After that he brought [03212] me toward [01870] the south [01864], and behold a gate [08179] toward [01870] the south [01864]: and he measured [04058] the posts [0352] thereof and the arches [0361] thereof according to these measures [04060]. 26 40 25 And there were windows [02474] in it and in the arches [0361] thereof round about [05439], like those windows [02474]: the length [0753] was fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520]. 26 40 26 And there were seven [07651] steps [04609] to go up [05930] to it, and the arches [0361] thereof were before [06440] them: and it had palm trees [08561], one [0259] on this side, and another [0259] on that side, upon the posts [0352] thereof. 26 40 27 And there was a gate [08179] in the inner [06442] court [02691] toward [01870] the south [01864]: and he measured [04058] from gate [08179] to gate [08179] toward [01870] the south [01864] an hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 26 40 28 And he brought [0935] me to the inner [06442] court [02691] by the south [01864] gate [08179]: and he measured [04058] the south [01864] gate [08179] according to these measures [04060]; 26 40 29 And the little chambers [08372] thereof, and the posts [0352] thereof, and the arches [0361] thereof, according to these measures [04060]: and there were windows [02474] in it and in the arches [0361] thereof round about [05439]: it was fifty [02572] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] broad [07341]. 26 40 30 And the arches [0361] round about [05439] were five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341]. 26 40 31 And the arches [0361] thereof were toward the utter [02435] court [02691]; and palm trees [08561] were upon the posts [0352] thereof: and the going up [04608] to it had eight [08083] steps [04609]. 26 40 32 And he brought [0935] me into the inner [06442] court [02691] toward [01870] the east [06921]: and he measured [04058] the gate [08179] according to these measures [04060]. 26 40 33 And the little chambers [08372] thereof, and the posts [0352] thereof, and the arches [0361] thereof, were according to these measures [04060]: and there were windows [02474] therein and in the arches [0361] thereof round about [05439]: it was fifty [02572] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520] broad [07341]. 26 40 34 And the arches [0361] thereof were toward the outward [02435] court [02691]; and palm trees [08561] were upon the posts [0352] thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up [04608] to it had eight [08083] steps [04609]. 26 40 35 And he brought [0935] me to the north [06828] gate [08179], and measured [04058] it according to these measures [04060]; 26 40 36 The little chambers [08372] thereof, the posts [0352] thereof, and the arches [0361] thereof, and the windows [02474] to it round about [05439]: the length [0753] was fifty [02572] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] five [02568] and twenty [06242] cubits [0520]. 26 40 37 And the posts [0352] thereof were toward the utter [02435] court [02691]; and palm trees [08561] were upon the posts [0352] thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up [04608] to it had eight [08083] steps [04609]. 26 40 38 And the chambers [03957] and the entries [06607] thereof were by the posts [0352] of the gates [08179], where they washed [01740] the burnt offering [05930]. 26 40 39 And in the porch [0197] of the gate [08179] were two [08147] tables [07979] on this side, and two tables [07979] on that side, to slay [07819] thereon the burnt offering [05930] and the sin offering [02403] and the trespass offering [0817]. 26 40 40 And at the side [03802] without [02351], as one goeth up [05927] to the entry [06607] of the north [06828] gate [08179], were two [08147] tables [07979]; and on the other [0312] side [03802], which was at the porch [0197] of the gate [08179], were two [08147] tables [07979]. 26 40 41 Four [0702] tables [07979] were on this side, and four [0702] tables [07979] on that side, by the side [03802] of the gate [08179]; eight [08083] tables [07979], whereupon they slew [07819] their sacrifices. 26 40 42 And the four [0702] tables [07979] were of hewn [01496] stone [068] for the burnt offering [05930], of a cubit [0520] and an half [02677] long [0753], and a cubit [0520] and an half [02677] broad [07341], and one [0259] cubit [0520] high [01363]: whereupon also they laid [03240] the instruments [03627] wherewith they slew [07819] the burnt offering [05930] and the sacrifice [02077]. 26 40 43 And within [01004] were hooks [08240], an [0259] hand [02948] broad, fastened [03559] round about [05439]: and upon the tables [07979] was the flesh [01320] of the offering [07133]. 26 40 44 And without [02351] the inner [06442] gate [08179] were the chambers [03957] of the singers [07891] in the inner [06442] court [02691], which was at the side [03802] of the north [06828] gate [08179]; and their prospect [06440] was toward [01870] the south [01864]: one [0259] at the side [03802] of the east [06921] gate [08179] having the prospect [06440] toward [01870] the north [06828]. 26 40 45 And he said [01696] unto me, This [02090] chamber [03957], whose prospect [06440] is toward [01870] the south [01864], is for the priests [03548], the keepers [08104] of the charge [04931] of the house [01004]. 26 40 46 And the chamber [03957] whose prospect [06440] is toward [01870] the north [06828] is for the priests [03548], the keepers [08104] of the charge [04931] of the altar [04196]: these are the sons [01121] of Zadok [06659] among the sons [01121] of Levi [03878], which come near [07131] to the LORD [03068] to minister [08334] unto him. 26 40 47 So he measured [04058] the court [02691], an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] long [0753], and an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] broad [07341], foursquare [07251]; and the altar [04196] that was before [06440] the house [01004]. 26 40 48 And he brought [0935] me to the porch [0197] of the house [01004], and measured [04058] each post [0352] of the porch [0197], five [02568] cubits [0520] on this side, and five [02568] cubits [0520] on that side: and the breadth [07341] of the gate [08179] was three [07969] cubits [0520] on this side, and three [07969] cubits [0520] on that side. 26 40 49 The length [0753] of the porch [0197] was twenty [06242] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] eleven [06249] [06240] cubits [0520]; and he brought me by the steps [04609] whereby they went up [05927] to it: and there were pillars [05982] by the posts [0352], one [0259] on this side, and another [0259] on that side. 26 41 1 Afterward he brought [0935] me to the temple [01964], and measured [04058] the posts [0352], six [08337] cubits [0520] broad [07341] on the one side [06311], and six [08337] cubits [0520] broad [07341] on the other side [06311], which was the breadth [07341] of the tabernacle [0168]. 26 41 2 And the breadth [07341] of the door [06607] was ten [06235] cubits [0520]; and the sides [03802] of the door [06607] were five [02568] cubits [0520] on the one side, and five [02568] cubits [0520] on the other side: and he measured [04058] the length [0753] thereof, forty [0705] cubits [0520]: and the breadth [07341], twenty [06242] cubits [0520]. 26 41 3 Then went [0935] he inward [06441], and measured [04058] the post [0352] of the door [06607], two [08147] cubits [0520]; and the door [06607], six [08337] cubits [0520]; and the breadth [07341] of the door [06607], seven [07651] cubits [0520]. 26 41 4 So he measured [04058] the length [0753] thereof, twenty [06242] cubits [0520]; and the breadth [07341], twenty [06242] cubits [0520], before [06440] the temple [01964]: and he said [0559] unto me, This is the most [06944] holy [06944] place. 26 41 5 After he measured [04058] the wall [07023] of the house [01004], six [08337] cubits [0520]; and the breadth [07341] of every side chamber [06763], four [0702] cubits [0520], round about [05439] the house [01004] on every side [05439]. 26 41 6 And the side [06763] chambers [06763] were three [07969], one over another [06763], and thirty [07970] in order [06471]; and they entered [0935] into the wall [07023] which was of the house [01004] for the side chambers [06763] round about [05439], that they might have hold [0270], but they had not hold [0270] in the wall [07023] of the house [01004]. 26 41 7 And there was an enlarging [07337], and a winding about [05437] still upward [04605] to the side chambers [06763]: for the winding about [04141] of the house [01004] went still upward [04605] round about [05439] the house [01004]: therefore the breadth [07341] of the house [01004] was still upward [04605], and so increased [05927] from the lowest [08481] chamber to the highest [05945] by the midst [08484]. 26 41 8 I saw [07200] also the height [01363] of the house [01004] round about [05439]: the foundations [04328] of the side chambers [06763] were a full [04393] reed [07070] of six [08337] great [0679] cubits [0520]. 26 41 9 The thickness [07341] of the wall [07023], which was for the side chamber [06763] without [02351], was five [02568] cubits [0520]: and that which was left [03240] was the place [01004] of the side chambers [06763] that were within [01004]. 26 41 10 And between the chambers [03957] was the wideness [07341] of twenty [06242] cubits [0520] round about [05439] the house [01004] on every side [05439]. 26 41 11 And the doors [06607] of the side chambers [06763] were toward the place that was left [03240], one [0259] door [06607] toward [01870] the north [06828], and another [0259] door [06607] toward the south [01864]: and the breadth [07341] of the place [04725] that was left [03240] was five [02568] cubits [0520] round about [05439]. 26 41 12 Now the building [01146] that was before [06440] the separate place [01508] at the end [06285] toward [01870] the west [03220] was seventy [07657] cubits [0520] broad [07341]; and the wall [07023] of the building [01146] was five [02568] cubits [0520] thick [07341] round about [05439], and the length [0753] thereof ninety [08673] cubits [0520]. 26 41 13 So he measured [04058] the house [01004], an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] long [0753]; and the separate place [01508], and the building [01140], with the walls [07023] thereof, an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] long [0753]; 26 41 14 Also the breadth [07341] of the face [06440] of the house [01004], and of the separate place [01508] toward the east [06921], an hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 26 41 15 And he measured [04058] the length [0753] of the building [01146] over against [06440] the separate place [01508] which was behind [0310] it, and the galleries [0862] thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred [03967] cubits [0520], with the inner [06442] temple [01964], and the porches [0197] of the court [02691]; 26 41 16 The door posts [05592], and the narrow [0331] windows [02474], and the galleries [0862] round about [05439] on their three stories [07969], over against [05048] the door [05592], cieled [07824] with wood [06086] round about [05439], and from the ground [0776] up to the windows [02474], and the windows [02474] were covered [03680]; 26 41 17 To that above the door [06607], even unto the inner [06442] house [01004], and without [02351], and by all the wall [07023] round about [05439] within [06442] and without [02435], by measure [04060]. 26 41 18 And it was made [06213] with cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561], so that a palm tree [08561] was between a cherub [03742] and a cherub [03742]; and every cherub [03742] had two [08147] faces [06440]; 26 41 19 So that the face [06440] of a man [0120] was toward the palm tree [08561] on the one side, and the face [06440] of a young lion [03715] toward the palm tree [08561] on the other side: it was made [06213] through all the house [01004] round about [05439]. 26 41 20 From the ground [0776] unto above the door [06607] were cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561] made [06213], and on the wall [07023] of the temple [01964]. 26 41 21 The posts [04201] of the temple [01964] were squared [07251], and the face [06440] of the sanctuary [06944]; the appearance [04758] of the one as the appearance [04758] of the other. 26 41 22 The altar [04196] of wood [06086] was three [07969] cubits [0520] high [01364], and the length [0753] thereof two [08147] cubits [0520]; and the corners [04740] thereof, and the length [0753] thereof, and the walls [07023] thereof, were of wood [06086]: and he said [01696] unto me, This is the table [07979] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 26 41 23 And the temple [01964] and the sanctuary [06944] had two [08147] doors [01817]. 26 41 24 And the doors [01817] had two [08147] leaves [01817] apiece, two [08147] turning [04142] leaves [01817]; two [08147] leaves for the one [0259] door [01817], and two [08147] leaves [01817] for the other [0312] door. 26 41 25 And there were made [06213] on them, on the doors [01817] of the temple [01964], cherubims [03742] and palm trees [08561], like as were made [06213] upon the walls [07023]; and there were thick [05646] planks [06086] upon the face [06440] of the porch [0197] without [02351]. 26 41 26 And there were narrow [0331] windows [02474] and palm trees [08561] on the one side and on the other side, on the sides [03802] of the porch [0197], and upon the side chambers [06763] of the house [01004], and thick planks [05646]. 26 42 1 Then he brought me forth [03318] into the utter [02435] court [02691], the way toward [01870] the north [06828]: and he brought [0935] me into the chamber [03957] that was over against the separate place [01508], and which was before the building [01146] toward the north [06828]. 26 42 2 Before [06440] the length [0753] of an hundred [03967] cubits [0520] was the north [06828] door [06607], and the breadth [07341] was fifty [02572] cubits [0520]. 26 42 3 Over against the twenty [06242] cubits which were for the inner [06442] court [02691], and over against the pavement [07531] which was for the utter [02435] court [02691], was gallery [0862] against [06440] gallery [0862] in three [07992] stories. 26 42 4 And before [06440] the chambers [03957] was a walk [04109] of ten [06235] cubits [0520] breadth [07341] inward [06442], a way [01870] of one [0259] cubit [0520]; and their doors [06607] toward the north [06828]. 26 42 5 Now the upper [05945] chambers [03957] were shorter [07114]: for the galleries [0862] were higher [0398] than these [02007], than the lower [08481], and than the middlemost [08484] of the building [01146]. 26 42 6 For they were in three [08027] stories, but had not pillars [05982] as the pillars [05982] of the courts [02691]: therefore the building was straitened [0680] more than the lowest [08481] and the middlemost [08484] from the ground [0776]. 26 42 7 And the wall [01447] that was without [02351] over against [05980] the chambers [03957], toward [01870] the utter [02435] court [02691] on the forepart [06440] of the chambers [03957], the length [0753] thereof was fifty [02572] cubits [0520]. 26 42 8 For the length [0753] of the chambers [03957] that were in the utter [02435] court [02691] was fifty [02572] cubits [0520]: and, lo, before [06440] the temple [01964] were an hundred [03967] cubits [0520]. 26 42 9 And from under these chambers [03957] was the entry [03996] [0935] on the east side [06921], as one goeth [0935] into them [02007] from the utter [02435] court [02691]. 26 42 10 The chambers [03957] were in the thickness [07341] of the wall [01444] of the court [02691] toward [01870] the east [06921], over against [06440] the separate place [01508], and over against [06440] the building [01146]. 26 42 11 And the way [01870] before [06440] them was like the appearance [04758] of the chambers [03957] which were toward [01870] the north [06828], as long as [0753] they, and as broad as [03651] [07341] they: and all their goings out [04161] were both according to their fashions [04941], and according to their doors [06607]. 26 42 12 And according to the doors [06607] of the chambers [03957] that were toward [01870] the south [01864] was a door [06607] in the head [07218] of the way [01870], even the way [01870] directly [01903] before [06440] the wall [01448] toward [01870] the east [06921], as one entereth [0935] into them. 26 42 13 Then said [0559] he unto me, The north [06828] chambers [03957] and the south [01864] chambers [03957], which are before [06440] the separate place [01508], they be holy [06944] chambers [03957], where the priests [03548] that approach [07138] unto the LORD [03068] shall eat [0398] the most [06944] holy things [06944]: there shall they lay [03240] the most [06944] holy things [06944], and the meat offering [04503], and the sin offering [02403], and the trespass offering [0817]; for the place [04725] is holy [06918]. 26 42 14 When the priests [03548] enter [0935] therein, then shall they not go out [03318] of the holy [06944] place into the utter [02435] court [02691], but there they shall lay [03240] their garments [0899] wherein they minister [08334]; for they are holy [06944]; and shall put [03847] [03847] on other [0312] garments [0899], and shall approach [07126] to those things which are for the people [05971]. 26 42 15 Now when he had made an end [03615] of measuring [04060] the inner [06442] house [01004], he brought me forth [03318] toward [01870] the gate [08179] whose prospect [06440] is toward [01870] the east [06921], and measured [04058] it round about [05439]. 26 42 16 He measured [04058] the east [06921] side [07307] with the measuring [04060] reed [07070], five [02568] [0520] hundred [03967] reeds [07070], with the measuring [04060] reed [07070] round about [05439]. 26 42 17 He measured [04058] the north [06828] side [07307], five [02568] hundred [03967] reeds [07070], with the measuring [04060] reed [07070] round about [05439]. 26 42 18 He measured [04058] the south [01864] side [07307], five [02568] hundred [03967] reeds [07070], with the measuring [04060] reed [07070]. 26 42 19 He turned about [05437] to the west [03220] side [07307], and measured [04058] five [02568] hundred [03967] reeds [07070] with the measuring [04060] reed [07070]. 26 42 20 He measured [04058] it by the four [0702] sides [07307]: it had a wall [02346] round about [05439], five [02568] hundred [03967] reeds long [0753], and five [02568] hundred [03967] broad [07341], to make a separation [0914] between the sanctuary [06944] and the profane place [02455]. 26 43 1 Afterward he brought [03212] me to the gate [08179], even the gate [08179] that looketh [06437] toward [01870] the east [06921]: 26 43 2 And, behold, the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] came [0935] from the way [01870] of the east [06921]: and his voice [06963] was like a noise [06963] of many [07227] waters [04325]: and the earth [0776] shined [0215] with his glory [03519]. 26 43 3 And it was according to the appearance [04758] of the vision [04758] which I saw [07200], even according to the vision [04758] that I saw [07200] when I came [0935] to destroy [07843] the city [05892]: and the visions [04759] were like the vision [04758] that I saw [07200] by the river [05104] Chebar [03529]; and I fell [05307] upon my face [06440]. 26 43 4 And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] into the house [01004] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] whose prospect [06440] is toward [01870] the east [06921]. 26 43 5 So the spirit [07307] took me up [05375], and brought [0935] me into the inner [06442] court [02691]; and, behold, the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the house [01004]. 26 43 6 And I heard [08085] him speaking [01696] unto me out of the house [01004]; and the man [0376] stood [05975] by me [0681]. 26 43 7 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], the place [04725] of my throne [03678], and the place [04725] of the soles [03709] of my feet [07272], where I will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] for ever [05769], and my holy [06944] name [08034], shall the house [01004] of Israel [03478] no more defile [02930], neither they, nor their kings [04428], by their whoredom [02184], nor by the carcases [06297] of their kings [04428] in their high places [01116]. 26 43 8 In their setting [05414] of their threshold [05592] by my thresholds [05592], and their post [04201] by [0681] my posts [04201], and the wall [07023] between me and them, they have even defiled [02930] my holy [06944] name [08034] by their abominations [08441] that they have committed [06213]: wherefore I have consumed [03615] them in mine anger [0639]. 26 43 9 Now let them put away [07368] their whoredom [02184], and the carcases [06297] of their kings [04428], far [07368] from me, and I will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of them for ever [05769]. 26 43 10 Thou son [01121] of man [0120], shew [05046] the house [01004] to the house [01004] of Israel [03478], that they may be ashamed [03637] of their iniquities [05771]: and let them measure [04058] the pattern [08508]. 26 43 11 And if they be ashamed [03637] of all that they have done [06213], shew [03045] them the form [06699] of the house [01004], and the fashion [08498] thereof, and the goings out [04161] thereof, and the comings [04126] in thereof, and all the forms [06699] thereof, and all the ordinances [02708] thereof, and all the forms [06699] thereof, and all the laws [08451] thereof: and write [03789] it in their sight [05869], that they may keep [08104] the whole form [06699] thereof, and all the ordinances [02708] thereof, and do [06213] them. 26 43 12 This is the law [08451] of the house [01004]; Upon the top [07218] of the mountain [02022] the whole limit [01366] thereof round about [05439] shall be most [06944] holy [06944]. Behold, this is the law [08451] of the house [01004]. 26 43 13 And these are the measures [04060] of the altar [04196] after the cubits [0520]: The cubit [0520] is a cubit [0520] and an hand breadth [02948]; even the bottom [02436] shall be a cubit [0520], and the breadth [07341] a cubit [0520], and the border [01366] thereof by the edge [08193] thereof round about [05439] shall be a [0259] span [02239]: and this shall be the higher place [01354] of the altar [04196]. 26 43 14 And from the bottom [02436] upon the ground [0776] even to the lower [08481] settle [05835] shall be two [08147] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] one [0259] cubit [0520]; and from the lesser [06996] settle [05835] even to the greater [01419] settle [05835] shall be four [0702] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] one cubit [0520]. 26 43 15 So the altar [0741] [02025] shall be four [0702] cubits [0520]; and from the altar [0741] and upward [04605] shall be four [0702] horns [07161]. 26 43 16 And the altar [0741] shall be twelve [08147] [06240] cubits long [0753], twelve [08147] [06240] broad [07341], square [07251] in the four [0702] squares [07253] thereof. 26 43 17 And the settle [05835] shall be fourteen [0702] [06240] cubits long [0753] and fourteen [0702] [06240] broad [07341] in the four [0702] squares [07253] thereof; and the border [01366] about [05439] it shall be half [02677] a cubit [0520]; and the bottom [02436] thereof shall be a cubit [0520] about [05439]; and his stairs [04609] shall look [06437] toward the east [06921]. 26 43 18 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; These are the ordinances [02708] of the altar [04196] in the day [03117] when they shall make [06213] it, to offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon, and to sprinkle [02236] blood [01818] thereon. 26 43 19 And thou shalt give [05414] to the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] that be of the seed [02233] of Zadok [06659], which approach [07138] unto me, to minister [08334] unto me, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403]. 26 43 20 And thou shalt take [03947] of the blood [01818] thereof, and put [05414] it on the four [0702] horns [07161] of it, and on the four [0702] corners [06438] of the settle [05835], and upon the border [01366] round about [05439]: thus shalt thou cleanse [02398] and purge [03722] it. 26 43 21 Thou shalt take [03947] the bullock [06499] also of the sin offering [02403], and he shall burn [08313] it in the appointed place [04662] of the house [01004], without [02351] the sanctuary [04720]. 26 43 22 And on the second [08145] day [03117] thou shalt offer [07126] a kid [08163] of the goats [05795] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403]; and they shall cleanse [02398] the altar [04196], as they did cleanse [02398] it with the bullock [06499]. 26 43 23 When thou hast made an end [03615] of cleansing [02398] it, thou shalt offer [07126] a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] without blemish [08549], and a ram [0352] out of the flock [06629] without blemish [08549]. 26 43 24 And thou shalt offer [07126] them before [06440] the LORD [03068], and the priests [03548] shall cast [07993] salt [04417] upon them, and they shall offer them up [05927] for a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068]. 26 43 25 Seven [07651] days [03117] shalt thou prepare [06213] every day [03117] a goat [08163] for a sin offering [02403]: they shall also prepare [06213] a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499], and a ram [0352] out of the flock [06629], without blemish [08549]. 26 43 26 Seven [07651] days [03117] shall they purge [03722] the altar [04196] and purify [02891] it; and they shall consecrate themselves [04390] [03027]. 26 43 27 And when these days [03117] are expired [03615], it shall be, that upon the eighth [08066] day [03117], and so forward [01973], the priests [03548] shall make [06213] your burnt offerings [05930] upon the altar [04196], and your peace offerings [08002]; and I will accept [07521] you, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 44 1 Then he brought me back [07725] the way [01870] of the gate [08179] of the outward [02435] sanctuary [04720] which looketh [06437] toward the east [06921]; and it was shut [05462]. 26 44 2 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me; This gate [08179] shall be shut [05462], it shall not be opened [06605], and no man [0376] shall enter [0935] in by it; because the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], hath entered [0935] in by it, therefore it shall be shut [05462]. 26 44 3 It is for the prince [05387]; the prince [05387], he shall sit [03427] in it to eat [0398] bread [03899] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; he shall enter [0935] by the way [01870] of the porch [0197] of that gate [08179], and shall go out [03318] by the way [01870] of the same. 26 44 4 Then brought [0935] he me the way [01870] of the north [06828] gate [08179] before [06440] the house [01004]: and I looked [07200], and, behold, the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]: and I fell [05307] upon my face [06440]. 26 44 5 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], mark [07760] well [03820], and behold [07200] with thine eyes [05869], and hear [08085] with thine ears [0241] all that I say [01696] unto thee concerning all the ordinances [02708] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and all the laws [08451] thereof; and mark [07760] well [03820] the entering in [03996] of the house [01004], with every going forth [04161] of the sanctuary [04720]. 26 44 6 And thou shalt say [0559] to the rebellious [04805], even to the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; O ye house [01004] of Israel [03478], let it suffice [07227] you of all your abominations [08441], 26 44 7 In that ye have brought [0935] into my sanctuary strangers [01121] [05236], uncircumcised [06189] in heart [03820], and uncircumcised [06189] in flesh [01320], to be in my sanctuary [04720], to pollute [02490] it, even my house [01004], when ye offer [07126] my bread [03899], the fat [02459] and the blood [01818], and they have broken [06565] my covenant [01285] because [0413] of all your abominations [08441]. 26 44 8 And ye have not kept [08104] the charge [04931] of mine holy things [06944]: but ye have set [07760] keepers [08104] of my charge [04931] in my sanctuary [04720] for yourselves. 26 44 9 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; No stranger [01121] [05236], uncircumcised [06189] in heart [03820], nor uncircumcised [06189] in flesh [01320], shall enter [0935] into my sanctuary [04720], of any stranger that is among [08432] the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 26 44 10 And the Levites [03881] that are gone away far [07368] from me, when Israel [03478] went astray [08582], which went astray away [08582] from me after [0310] their idols [01544]; they shall even bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]. 26 44 11 Yet they shall be ministers [08334] in my sanctuary [04720], having charge [06486] at the gates [08179] of the house [01004], and ministering [08334] to the house [01004]: they shall slay [07819] the burnt offering [05930] and the sacrifice [02077] for the people [05971], and they shall stand [05975] before [06440] them to minister [08334] unto them. 26 44 12 Because they ministered [08334] unto them before [06440] their idols [01544], and caused the house [01004] of Israel [03478] to fall [04383] into iniquity [05771]; therefore have I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] against them, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and they shall bear [05375] their iniquity [05771]. 26 44 13 And they shall not come near [05066] unto me, to do the office of a priest [03547] unto me, nor to come near [05066] to any of my holy things [06944], in the most holy [06944] place: but they shall bear [05375] their shame [03639], and their abominations [08441] which they have committed [06213]. 26 44 14 But I will make [05414] them keepers [08104] of the charge [04931] of the house [01004], for all the service [05656] thereof, and for all that shall be done [06213] therein. 26 44 15 But the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], the sons [01121] of Zadok [06659], that kept [08104] the charge [04931] of my sanctuary [04720] when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went astray [08582] from me, they shall come near [07126] to me to minister [08334] unto me, and they shall stand [05975] before [06440] me to offer [07126] unto me the fat [02459] and the blood [01818], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: 26 44 16 They shall enter [0935] into my sanctuary [04720], and they shall come near [07126] to my table [07979], to minister [08334] unto me, and they shall keep [08104] my charge [04931]. 26 44 17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter [0935] in at the gates [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691], they shall be clothed [03847] with linen [06593] garments [0899]; and no wool [06785] shall come [05927] upon them, whiles they minister [08334] in the gates [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691], and within [01004]. 26 44 18 They shall have linen [06593] bonnets [06287] upon their heads [07218], and shall have linen [06593] breeches [04370] upon their loins [04975]; they shall not gird [02296] themselves with any thing that causeth sweat [03154]. 26 44 19 And when they go forth [03318] into the utter [02435] court [02691], even into the utter [02435] court [02691] to the people [05971], they shall put off [06584] their garments [0899] wherein they ministered [08334], and lay [03240] them in the holy [06944] chambers [03957], and they shall put [03847] on other [0312] garments [0899]; and they shall not sanctify [06942] the people [05971] with their garments [0899]. 26 44 20 Neither shall they shave [01548] their heads [07218], nor suffer their locks [06545] to grow long [07971]; they shall only [03697] poll [03697] their heads [07218]. 26 44 21 Neither shall any priest [03548] drink [08354] wine [03196], when they enter [0935] into the inner [06442] court [02691]. 26 44 22 Neither shall they take [03947] for their wives [0802] a widow [0490], nor her that is put away [01644]: but they shall take [03947] maidens [01330] of the seed [02233] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], or a widow [0490] that had a priest [03548] before. 26 44 23 And they shall teach [03384] my people [05971] the difference between the holy [06944] and profane [02455], and cause them to discern [03045] between the unclean [02931] and the clean [02889]. 26 44 24 And in controversy [07379] they shall stand [05975] in judgment [08199]; and they shall judge [08199] it according to my judgments [04941]: and they shall keep [08104] my laws [08451] and my statutes [02708] in all mine assemblies [04150]; and they shall hallow [06942] my sabbaths [07676]. 26 44 25 And they shall come [0935] at no dead [04191] person [0120] to defile [02930] themselves: but for father [01], or for mother [0517], or for son [01121], or for daughter [01323], for brother [0251], or for sister [0269] that hath had no husband [0376], they may defile [02930] themselves. 26 44 26 And after [0310] he is cleansed [02893], they shall reckon [05608] unto him seven [07651] days [03117]. 26 44 27 And in the day [03117] that he goeth [0935] into the sanctuary [06944], unto the inner [06442] court [02691], to minister [08334] in the sanctuary [06944], he shall offer [07126] his sin offering [02403], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 44 28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance [05159]: I am their inheritance [05159]: and ye shall give [05414] them no possession [0272] in Israel [03478]: I am their possession [0272]. 26 44 29 They shall eat [0398] the meat offering [04503], and the sin offering [02403], and the trespass offering [0817]; and every dedicated thing [02764] in Israel [03478] shall be theirs. 26 44 30 And the first [07225] of all the firstfruits [01061] of all things, and every oblation [08641] of all, of every sort of your oblations [08641], shall be the priest's [03548]: ye shall also give [05414] unto the priest [03548] the first [07225] of your dough [06182], that he may cause the blessing [01293] to rest [05117] in thine house [01004]. 26 44 31 The priests [03548] shall not eat [0398] of any thing that is dead of itself [05038], or torn [02966], whether it be fowl [05775] or beast [0929]. 26 45 1 Moreover, when ye shall divide [05307] by lot the land [0776] for inheritance [05159], ye shall offer [07311] an oblation [08641] unto the LORD [03068], an holy portion [06944] of the land [0776]: the length [0753] shall be the length [0753] of five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] reeds, and the breadth [07341] shall be ten [06235] thousand [0505]. This shall be holy [06944] in all the borders [01366] thereof round about [05439]. 26 45 2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary [06944] five [02568] hundred [03967] in length, with five [02568] hundred [03967] in breadth, square [07251] round about [05439]; and fifty [02572] cubits [0520] round about [05439] for the suburbs [04054] thereof. 26 45 3 And of this measure [04060] shalt thou measure [04058] the length [0753] of five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505], and the breadth [07341] of ten [06235] thousand [0505]: and in it shall be the sanctuary [04720] and the most [06944] holy [06944] place. 26 45 4 The holy [06944] portion of the land [0776] shall be for the priests [03548] the ministers [08334] of the sanctuary [04720], which shall come near [07131] to minister [08334] unto the LORD [03068]: and it shall be a place [04725] for their houses [01004], and an holy place [04720] for the sanctuary [04720]. 26 45 5 And the five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] of length [0753], and the ten [06235] thousand [0505] of breadth [07341], shall also the Levites [03881], the ministers [08334] of the house [01004], have for themselves, for a possession [0272] for twenty [06242] chambers [03957]. 26 45 6 And ye shall appoint [05414] the possession [0272] of the city [05892] five [02568] thousand [0505] broad [07341], and five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] long [0753], over against [05980] the oblation [08641] of the holy [06944] portion: it shall be for the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 45 7 And a portion shall be for the prince [05387] on the one side and on the other side of the oblation [08641] of the holy [06944] portion, and of the possession [0272] of the city [05892], before [06440] the oblation [08641] of the holy [06944] portion, and before [06440] the possession [0272] of the city [05892], from the west [03220] side [06285] westward [03220], and from the east [06924] side [06285] eastward [06921]: and the length [0753] shall be over against [05980] one [0259] of the portions [02506], from the west [03220] border [01366] unto the east [06921] border [01366]. 26 45 8 In the land [0776] shall be his possession [0272] in Israel [03478]: and my princes [05387] shall no more oppress [03238] my people [05971]; and the rest of the land [0776] shall they give [05414] to the house [01004] of Israel [03478] according to their tribes [07626]. 26 45 9 Thus saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Let it suffice [07227] you, O princes [05387] of Israel [03478]: remove [05493] violence [02555] and spoil [07701], and execute [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666], take away [07311] your exactions [01646] from my people [05971], saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 45 10 Ye shall have just [06664] balances [03976], and a just [06664] ephah [0374], and a just [06664] bath [01324]. 26 45 11 The ephah [0374] and the bath [01324] shall be of one [0259] measure [08506], that the bath [01324] may contain [05375] the tenth part [04643] of an homer [02563], and the ephah [0374] the tenth part [06224] of an homer [02563]: the measure [04971] thereof shall be after the homer [02563]. 26 45 12 And the shekel [08255] shall be twenty [06242] gerahs [01626]: twenty [06242] shekels [08255], five [02568] and twenty [06242] shekels [08255], fifteen [02568] [06235] shekels [08255], shall be your maneh [04488]. 26 45 13 This is the oblation [08641] that ye shall offer [07311]; the sixth part [08345] of an ephah [0374] of an homer [02563] of wheat [02406], and ye shall give the sixth part [08341] of an ephah [0374] of an homer [02563] of barley [08184]: 26 45 14 Concerning the ordinance [02706] of oil [08081], the bath [01324] of oil [08081], ye shall offer the tenth part [04643] of a bath [01324] out of the cor [03734], which is an homer [02563] of ten [06235] baths [01324]; for ten [06235] baths [01324] are an homer [02563]: 26 45 15 And one [0259] lamb [07716] out of the flock [06629], out of two hundred [03967], out of the fat pastures [04945] of Israel [03478]; for a meat offering [04503], and for a burnt offering [05930], and for peace offerings [08002], to make reconciliation [03722] for them, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 45 16 All the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall give this oblation [08641] for the prince [05387] in Israel [03478]. 26 45 17 And it shall be the prince's part [05387] to give burnt offerings [05930], and meat offerings [04503], and drink offerings [05262], in the feasts [02282], and in the new moons [02320], and in the sabbaths [07676], in all solemnities [04150] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: he shall prepare [06213] the sin offering [02403], and the meat offering [04503], and the burnt offering [05930], and the peace offerings [08002], to make reconciliation [03722] for the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 26 45 18 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; In the first [07223] month, in the first [0259] day of the month [02320], thou shalt take [03947] a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] without blemish [08549], and cleanse [02398] the sanctuary [04720]: 26 45 19 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403], and put [05414] it upon the posts [04201] of the house [01004], and upon the four [0702] corners [06438] of the settle [05835] of the altar [04196], and upon the posts [04201] of the gate [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691]. 26 45 20 And so thou shalt do [06213] the seventh [07651] day of the month [02320] for every one [0376] that erreth [07686], and for him that is simple [06612]: so shall ye reconcile [03722] the house [01004]. 26 45 21 In the first [07223] month, in the fourteenth [0702] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], ye shall have the passover [06453], a feast [02282] of seven [07620] days [03117]; unleavened bread [04682] shall be eaten [0398]. 26 45 22 And upon that day [03117] shall the prince [05387] prepare [06213] for himself and for all the people [05971] of the land [0776] a bullock [06499] for a sin offering [02403]. 26 45 23 And seven [07651] days [03117] of the feast [02282] he shall prepare [06213] a burnt offering [05930] to the LORD [03068], seven [07651] bullocks [06499] and seven [07651] rams [0352] without blemish [08549] daily [03117] the seven [07651] days [03117]; and a kid [08163] of the goats [05795] daily [03117] for a sin offering [02403]. 26 45 24 And he shall prepare [06213] a meat offering [04503] of an ephah [0374] for a bullock [06499], and an ephah [0374] for a ram [0352], and an hin [01969] of oil [08081] for an ephah [0374]. 26 45 25 In the seventh [07651] month, in the fifteenth [02568] [06240] day [03117] of the month [02320], shall he do [06213] the like in the feast [02282] of the seven [07637] days [03117], according to the sin offering [02403], according to the burnt offering [05930], and according to the meat offering [04503], and according to the oil [08081]. 26 46 1 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; The gate [08179] of the inner [06442] court [02691] that looketh [06437] toward the east [06921] shall be shut [05462] the six [08337] working [04639] days [03117]; but on the sabbath [07676] [03117] it shall be opened [06605], and in the day [03117] of the new moon [02320] it shall be opened [06605]. 26 46 2 And the prince [05387] shall enter [0935] by the way [01870] of the porch [0197] of that gate [08179] without [02351], and shall stand [05975] by the post [04201] of the gate [08179], and the priests [03548] shall prepare [06213] his burnt offering [05930] and his peace offerings [08002], and he shall worship [07812] at the threshold [04670] of the gate [08179]: then he shall go forth [03318]; but the gate [08179] shall not be shut [05462] until the evening [06153]. 26 46 3 Likewise the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall worship [07812] at the door [06607] of this gate [08179] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in the sabbaths [07676] and in the new moons [02320]. 26 46 4 And the burnt offering [05930] that the prince [05387] shall offer [07126] unto the LORD [03068] in the sabbath [07676] day [03117] shall be six [08337] lambs [03532] without blemish [08549], and a ram [0352] without blemish [08549]. 26 46 5 And the meat offering [04503] shall be an ephah [0374] for a ram [0352], and the meat offering [04503] for the lambs [03532] as he shall be able [03027] to give [04991], and an hin [01969] of oil [08081] to an ephah [0374]. 26 46 6 And in the day [03117] of the new moon [02320] it shall be a young [01121] [01241] bullock [06499] without blemish [08549], and six [08337] lambs [03532], and a ram [0352]: they shall be without blemish [08549]. 26 46 7 And he shall prepare [06213] a meat offering [04503], an ephah [0374] for a bullock [06499], and an ephah [0374] for a ram [0352], and for the lambs [03532] according as his hand [03027] shall attain [05381] unto, and an hin [01969] of oil [08081] to an ephah [0374]. 26 46 8 And when the prince [05387] shall enter [0935], he shall go [0935] in by the way [01870] of the porch [0197] of that gate [08179], and he shall go forth [03318] by the way [01870] thereof. 26 46 9 But when the people [05971] of the land [0776] shall come [0935] before [06440] the LORD [03068] in the solemn feasts [04150], he that entereth [0935] in by the way [01870] of the north [06828] gate [08179] to worship [07812] shall go out [03318] by the way [01870] of the south [05045] gate [08179]; and he that entereth [0935] by the way [01870] of the south [05045] gate [08179] shall go forth [03318] by the way [01870] of the north [06828] gate [08179]: he shall not return [07725] by the way [01870] of the gate [08179] whereby he came in [0935], but shall go forth [03318] over against [05226] it. 26 46 10 And the prince [05387] in the midst [08432] of them, when they go in [0935], shall go in [0935]; and when they go forth [03318], shall go forth [03318]. 26 46 11 And in the feasts [02282] and in the solemnities [04150] the meat offering [04503] shall be an ephah [0374] to a bullock [06499], and an ephah [0374] to a ram [0352], and to the lambs [03532] as he is able [03027] to give [04991], and an hin [01969] of oil [08081] to an ephah [0374]. 26 46 12 Now when the prince [05387] shall prepare [06213] a voluntary [05071] burnt offering [05930] or peace offerings [08002] voluntarily [05071] unto the LORD [03068], one shall then open [06605] him the gate [08179] that looketh [06437] toward the east [06921], and he shall prepare [06213] his burnt offering [05930] and his peace offerings [08002], as he did [06213] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117]: then he shall go forth [03318]; and after [0310] his going forth [03318] one shall shut [05462] the gate [08179]. 26 46 13 Thou shalt daily [03117] prepare [06213] a burnt offering [05930] unto the LORD [03068] of a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549]: thou shalt prepare [06213] it every [01242] morning [01242]. 26 46 14 And thou shalt prepare [06213] a meat offering [04503] for it every morning [01242], the sixth part [08345] of an ephah [0374], and the third part [07992] of an hin [01969] of oil [08081], to temper with [07450] the fine flour [05560]; a meat offering [04503] continually [08548] by a perpetual [05769] ordinance [02708] unto the LORD [03068]. 26 46 15 Thus shall they prepare [06213] [06213] the lamb [03532], and the meat offering [04503], and the oil [08081], every morning [01242] for a continual [08548] burnt offering [05930]. 26 46 16 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; If the prince [05387] give [05414] a gift [04979] unto any [0376] of his sons [01121], the inheritance [05159] thereof shall be his sons [01121]'; it shall be their possession [0272] by inheritance [05159]. 26 46 17 But if he give [05414] a gift [04979] of his inheritance [05159] to one [0259] of his servants [05650], then it shall be his to the year [08141] of liberty [01865]; after it shall return [07725] to the prince [05387]: but his inheritance [05159] shall be his sons [01121]' for them. 26 46 18 Moreover the prince [05387] shall not take [03947] of the people's [05971] inheritance [05159] by oppression [03238], to thrust [03238] them out of their possession [0272]; but he shall give his sons [01121] inheritance [05157] out of his own possession [0272]: that my people [05971] be not scattered [06327] every man [0376] from his possession [0272]. 26 46 19 After he brought [0935] me through the entry [03996], which was at the side [03802] of the gate [08179], into the holy [06944] chambers [03957] of the priests [03548], which looked [06437] toward the north [06828]: and, behold, there was a place [04725] on the two sides [03411] westward [03220]. 26 46 20 Then said [0559] he unto me, This is the place [04725] where the priests [03548] shall boil [01310] the trespass offering [0817] and the sin offering [02403], where they shall bake [0644] the meat offering [04503]; that they bear [03318] them not out into the utter [02435] court [02691], to sanctify [06942] the people [05971]. 26 46 21 Then he brought me forth [03318] into the utter [02435] court [02691], and caused me to pass by [05674] the four [0702] corners [04740] of the court [02691]; and, behold, in every [04740] corner [04740] of the court [02691] [02691] there was a court [02691]. 26 46 22 In the four [0702] corners [04740] of the court [02691] there were courts [02691] joined [07000] of forty [0705] cubits long [0753] and thirty [07970] broad [07341]: these four [0702] corners [07106] were of one [0259] measure [04060]. 26 46 23 And there was a row [02905] of building round about [05439] in them, round about [05439] them four [0702], and it was made [06213] with boiling places [04018] under the rows [02918] round about [05439]. 26 46 24 Then said [0559] he unto me, These are the places [01004] of them that boil [01310], where the ministers [08334] of the house [01004] shall boil [01310] the sacrifice [02077] of the people [05971]. 26 47 1 Afterward he brought me again [07725] unto the door [06607] of the house [01004]; and, behold, waters [04325] issued out [03318] from under the threshold [04670] of the house [01004] eastward [06921]: for the forefront [06440] of the house [01004] stood toward the east [06921], and the waters [04325] came down [03381] from under from the right [03233] side [03802] of the house [01004], at the south [05045] side of the altar [04196]. 26 47 2 Then brought he me out [03318] of the way [01870] of the gate [08179] northward [06828], and led me about [05437] the way [01870] without unto the utter [02351] gate [08179] by the way [01870] that looketh [06437] eastward [06921]; and, behold, there ran out [06379] waters [04325] on the right [03233] side [03802]. 26 47 3 And when the man [0376] that had the line [06957] in his hand [03027] went forth [03318] eastward [06921], he measured [04058] a thousand [0505] cubits [0520], and he brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the ankles [0657]. 26 47 4 Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674] the waters [04325]; the waters [04325] were to the knees [01290]. Again he measured [04058] a thousand [0505], and brought me through [05674]; the waters [04325] were to the loins [04975]. 26 47 5 Afterward he measured [04058] a thousand [0505]; and it was a river [05158] that I could [03201] not pass over [05674]: for the waters [04325] were risen [01342], waters [04325] to swim in [07813], a river [05158] that could not be passed over [05674]. 26 47 6 And he said [0559] unto me, Son [01121] of man [0120], hast thou seen [07200] this? Then he brought [03212] me, and caused me to return [07725] to the brink [08193] of the river [05158]. 26 47 7 Now when I had returned [07725], behold, at the bank [08193] of the river [05158] were very [03966] many [07227] trees [06086] on the one side and on the other. 26 47 8 Then said [0559] he unto me, These waters [04325] issue out [03318] toward the east [06930] country [01552], and go down [03381] into the desert [06160], and go [0935] into the sea [03220]: which being brought forth [03318] into the sea [03220], the waters [04325] shall be healed [07495]. 26 47 9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing [05315] that liveth [02416], which moveth [08317], whithersoever the rivers [05158] shall come [0935], shall live [02421]: and there shall be a very [03966] great [07227] multitude of fish [01710], because these waters [04325] shall come [0935] thither: for they shall be healed [07495]; and every thing shall live [02425] whither the river [05158] cometh [0935]. 26 47 10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers [01728] shall stand [05975] [05975] upon it from Engedi [05872] even unto Eneglaim [05882]; they shall be a place to spread forth [04894] nets [02764]; their fish [01710] shall be according to their kinds [04327], as the fish [01710] of the great [01419] sea [03220], exceeding [03966] many [07227]. 26 47 11 But the miry places [01207] thereof and the marishes [01360] thereof shall not be healed [07495]; they shall be given [05414] to salt [04417]. 26 47 12 And by the river [05158] upon the bank [08193] thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow [05927] all trees [06086] for meat [03978], whose leaf [05929] shall not fade [05034], neither shall the fruit [06529] thereof be consumed [08552]: it shall bring forth new fruit [01069] according to his months [02320], because their waters [04325] they issued out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720]: and the fruit [06529] thereof shall be for meat [03978], and the leaf [05929] thereof for medicine [08644]. 26 47 13 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; This [01454] shall be the border [01366], whereby ye shall inherit [05157] the land [0776] according to the twelve [08147] [06240] tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]: Joseph [03130] shall have two portions [02256]. 26 47 14 And ye shall inherit [05157] it, one [0376] as well as another [0251]: concerning the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it unto your fathers [01]: and this land [0776] shall fall [05307] unto you for inheritance [05159]. 26 47 15 And this shall be the border [01366] of the land [0776] toward the north [06828] side [06285], from the great [01419] sea [03220], the way [01870] of Hethlon [02855], as men go [0935] to Zedad [06657]; 26 47 16 Hamath [02574], Berothah [01268], Sibraim [05453], which is between the border [01366] of Damascus [01834] and the border [01366] of Hamath [02574]; Hazarhatticon [02694], which is by the coast [01366] of Hauran [02362]. 26 47 17 And the border [01366] from the sea [03220] shall be Hazarenan [02703], the border [01366] of Damascus [01834], and the north [06828] northward [06828], and the border [01366] of Hamath [02574]. And this is the north [06828] side [06285]. 26 47 18 And the east [06921] side [06285] ye shall measure [04058] from [0996] Hauran [02362], and from [0996] Damascus [01834], and from [0996] Gilead [01568], and from [0996] the land [0776] of Israel [03478] by Jordan [03383], from the border [01366] unto the east [06931] sea [03220]. And this is the east [06921] side [06285]. 26 47 19 And the south [05045] side [06285] southward [08486], from Tamar [08559] even to the waters [04325] of strife [04808] [04809] in Kadesh [06946], the river [05158] to the great [01419] sea [03220]. And this is the south [08486] side [06285] southward [05045]. 26 47 20 The west [03220] side [06285] also shall be the great [01419] sea [03220] from the border [01366], till a man come [0935] over against [05227] Hamath [02574]. This is the west [03220] side [06285]. 26 47 21 So shall ye divide [02505] this land [0776] unto you according to the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 26 47 22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide [05307] it by lot for an inheritance [05159] unto you, and to the strangers [01616] that sojourn [01481] among [08432] you, which shall beget [03205] children [01121] among [08432] you: and they shall be unto you as born [0249] in the country [0249] among the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; they shall have [05307] inheritance [05159] with you among [08432] the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 26 47 23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe [07626] the stranger [01616] sojourneth [01481], there shall ye give [05414] him his inheritance [05159], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 48 1 Now these are the names [08034] of the tribes [07626]. From the north [06828] end [07097] to the coast [03027] of the way [01870] of Hethlon [02855], as one goeth [0935] to Hamath [02574], Hazarenan [02704], the border [01366] of Damascus [01834] northward [06828], to the coast [03027] of Hamath [02574];

which have kept [08104] my charge [04931], which went not astray [08582] when the children [01121] of Israel [03478] went astray [08582], as the Levites [03881] went astray [08582]. 26 48 12 And this oblation [08642] of the land [0776] that is offered [08641] shall be unto them a thing most [06944] holy [06944] by the border [01366] of the Levites [03881]. 26 48 13 And over against [05980] the border [01366] of the priests [03548] the Levites [03881] shall have five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] in length [0753], and ten [06235] thousand [0505] in breadth [07341]: all the length [0753] shall be five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505], and the breadth [07341] ten [06235] thousand [0505]. 26 48 14 And they shall not sell [04376] of it, neither exchange [04171], nor alienate [05674] [05674] the firstfruits [07225] of the land [0776]: for it is holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068]. 26 48 15 And the five [02568] thousand [0505], that are left [03498] in the breadth [07341] over against [06440] the five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505], shall be a profane [02455] place for the city [05892], for dwelling [04186], and for suburbs [04054]: and the city [05892] shall be in the midst [08432] thereof. 26 48 16 And these shall be the measures [04060] thereof;

and the increase [08393] thereof shall be for food [03899] unto them that serve [05647] the city [05892]. 26 48 19 And they that serve [05647] the city [05892] shall serve [05647] it out of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]. 26 48 20 All the oblation [08641] shall be five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] by five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505]: ye shall offer [07311] the holy [06944] oblation [08641] foursquare [07243], with the possession [0272] of the city [05892]. 26 48 21 And the residue [03498] shall be for the prince [05387], on the one side and on the other of the holy [06944] oblation [08641], and of the possession [0272] of the city [05892], over against [06440] the five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] of the oblation [08641] toward the east [06921] border [01366], and westward [03220] over against [06440] the five [02568] and twenty [06242] thousand [0505] toward the west [03220] border [01366], over against [05980] the portions [02506] for the prince [05387]: and it shall be the holy [06944] oblation [08641]; and the sanctuary [04720] of the house [01004] shall be in the midst [08432] thereof. 26 48 22 Moreover from the possession [0272] of the Levites [03881], and from the possession [0272] of the city [05892], being in the midst [08432] of that which is the prince's [05387], between the border [01366] of Judah [03063] and the border [01366] of Benjamin [01144], shall be for the prince [05387]. 26 48 23 As for the rest [03499] of the tribes [07626], from the east [06921] side [06285] unto the west [03220] side [06285], Benjamin [01144] shall have a [0259] portion. 26 48 24 And by the border [01366] of Benjamin [01144], from the east [06921] side [06285] unto the west [03220] side [06285], Simeon [08095] shall have a [0259] portion. 26 48 25 And by the border [01366] of Simeon [08095], from the east [06921] side [06285] unto the west [03220] side [06285], Issachar [03485] a [0259] portion. 26 48 26 And by the border [01366] of Issachar [03485], from the east [06921] side [06285] unto the west [03220] side [06285], Zebulun [02074] a [0259] portion. 26 48 27 And by the border [01366] of Zebulun [02074], from the east [06921] side [06285] unto the west [03220] side [06285], Gad [01410] a [0259] portion. 26 48 28 And by the border [01366] of Gad [01410], at the south [05045] side [06285] southward [08486], the border [01366] shall be even from Tamar [08559] unto the waters [04325] of strife [04808] [04809] in Kadesh [06946], and to the river [05158] toward the great [01419] sea [03220]. 26 48 29 This is the land [0776] which ye shall divide [05307] by lot unto the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] for inheritance [05159], and these are their portions [04256], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 26 48 30 And these are the goings out [08444] of the city [05892] on the north [06828] side [06285], four [0702] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967] measures [04060]. 26 48 31 And the gates [08179] of the city [05892] shall be after the names [08034] of the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478]: three [07969] gates [08179] northward [06828]; one [0259] gate [08179] of Reuben [07205], one [0259] gate [08179] of Judah [03063], one [0259] gate [08179] of Levi [03878]. 26 48 32 And at the east [06921] side [06285] four [0702] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967]: and three [07969] gates [08179]; and one [0259] gate [08179] of Joseph [03130], one [0259] gate [08179] of Benjamin [01144], one [0259] gate [08179] of Dan [01835]. 26 48 33 And at the south [05045] side [06285] four [0702] thousand [0505] and five [02568] hundred [03967] measures [04060]: and three [07969] gates [08179];

one [0259] gate [08179] of Gad [01410], one [0259] gate [08179] of Asher [0836], one [0259] gate [08179] of Naphtali [05321]. 26 48 35 It was round about [05439] eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505] measures: and the name [08034] of the city [05892] from that day [03117] shall be, The LORD is there [03074]. 27 1 1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came [0935] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] unto Jerusalem [03389], and besieged [06696] it. 27 1 2 And the Lord [0136] gave [05414] Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] into his hand [03027], with part [07117] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430]: which he carried [0935] into the land [0776] of Shinar [08152] to the house [01004] of his god [0430]; and he brought [0935] the vessels [03627] into the treasure [0214] house [01004] of his god [0430]. 27 1 3 And the king [04428] spake [0559] unto Ashpenaz [0828] the master [07227] of his eunuchs [05631], that he should bring [0935] certain of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and of the king's [04410] seed [02233], and of the princes [06579]; 27 1 4 Children [03206] in whom was no blemish [03971] [03971], but well [02896] favoured [04758], and skilful [07919] in all wisdom [02451], and cunning [03045] in knowledge [01847], and understanding [0995] science [04093], and such as had ability [03581] in them to stand [05975] in the king's [04428] palace [01964], and whom they might teach [03925] the learning [05612] and the tongue [03956] of the Chaldeans [03778]. 27 1 5 And the king [04428] appointed [04487] them a daily [03117] [03117] provision [01697] of the king's [04428] meat [06598], and of the wine [03196] which he drank [04960]: so nourishing [01431] them three [07969] years [08141], that at the end [07117] thereof they might stand [05975] before [06440] the king [04428]. 27 1 6 Now among these were of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], Daniel [01840], Hananiah [02608], Mishael [04332], and Azariah [05838]: 27 1 7 Unto whom the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] gave [07760] names [08034]: for he gave [07760] unto Daniel [01840] the name of Belteshazzar [01095]; and to Hananiah [02608], of Shadrach [07714]; and to Mishael [04332], of Meshach [04335]; and to Azariah [05838], of Abednego [05664]. 27 1 8 But Daniel [01840] purposed [07760] in his heart [03820] that he would not defile [01351] himself with the portion [06598] of the king's [04428] meat [06598], nor with the wine [03196] which he drank [04960]: therefore he requested [01245] of the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] that he might not defile [01351] himself. 27 1 9 Now God [0430] had brought [05414] Daniel [01840] into favour [02617] and tender love [07356] with [06440] the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631]. 27 1 10 And the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] said [0559] unto Daniel [01840], I fear [03373] my lord [0113] the king [04428], who hath appointed [04487] your meat [03978] and your drink [04960]: for why should he see [07200] your faces [06440] worse liking [02196] than the children [03206] which are of your sort [01524]? then shall ye make me endanger [02325] my head [07218] to the king [04428]. 27 1 11 Then said [0559] Daniel [01840] to Melzar [04453], whom the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] had set [04487] over Daniel [01840], Hananiah [02608], Mishael [04332], and Azariah [05838], 27 1 12 Prove [05254] thy servants [05650], I beseech thee, ten [06235] days [03117]; and let them give [05414] us pulse [02235] to eat [0398], and water [04325] to drink [08354]. 27 1 13 Then let our countenances [04758] be looked upon [07200] before [06440] thee, and the countenance [04758] of the children [03206] that eat [0398] of the portion [06598] of the king's [04428] meat [06598]: and as thou seest [07200], deal [06213] with thy servants [05650]. 27 1 14 So he consented [08085] to them in this matter [01697], and proved [05254] them ten [06235] days [03117]. 27 1 15 And at the end [07117] of ten [06235] days [03117] their countenances [04758] appeared [07200] fairer [02896] and fatter [01277] in flesh [01320] than all the children [03206] which did eat [0398] the portion [06598] of the king's [04428] meat [06598]. 27 1 16 Thus Melzar [04453] took away [05375] the portion of their meat [06598], and the wine [03196] that they should drink [04960]; and gave [05414] them pulse [02235]. 27 1 17 As for these four [0702] children [03206], God [0430] gave [05414] them knowledge [04093] and skill [07919] in all learning [05612] and wisdom [02451]: and Daniel [01840] had understanding [0995] in all visions [02377] and dreams [02472]. 27 1 18 Now at the end [07117] of the days [03117] that the king [04428] had said [0559] he should bring [0935] them in, then the prince [08269] of the eunuchs [05631] brought [0935] them in before [06440] Nebuchadnezzar [05019]. 27 1 19 And the king [04428] communed [01696] with them; and among them all was found [04672] none like Daniel [01840], Hananiah [02608], Mishael [04332], and Azariah [05838]: therefore stood [05975] they before [06440] the king [04428]. 27 1 20 And in all matters [01697] of wisdom [02451] and understanding [0998], that the king [04428] enquired [01245] of them, he found [04672] them ten times [06235] better [03027] than all the magicians [02748] and astrologers [0825] that were in all his realm [04438]. 27 1 21 And Daniel [01840] continued even unto the first [0259] year [08141] of king [04428] Cyrus [03566]. 27 2 1 And in the second [08147] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Nebuchadnezzar [05019] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] dreamed [02492] dreams [02472], wherewith his spirit [07307] was troubled [06470], and his sleep [08142] brake [01961] from him. 27 2 2 Then the king [04428] commanded [0559] to call [07121] the magicians [02748], and the astrologers [0825], and the sorcerers [03784], and the Chaldeans [03778], for to shew [05046] the king [04428] his dreams [02472]. So they came [0935] and stood [05975] before [06440] the king [04428]. 27 2 3 And the king [04428] said [0559] unto them, I have dreamed [02492] a dream [02472], and my spirit [07307] was troubled [06470] to know [03045] the dream [02472]. 27 2 4 Then spake [01696] the Chaldeans [03778] to the king [04428] in Syriack [0762], O king [04430], live [02418] for ever [05957]: tell [0560] thy servants [05649] the dream [02493], and we will shew [02324] the interpretation [06591]. 27 2 5 The king [04430] answered [06032] and said [0560] to the Chaldeans [03779], The thing [04406] is gone [0230] from me [04481]: if [02006] ye will not [03809] make known [03046] unto me the dream [02493], with the interpretation [06591] thereof, ye shall be cut [05648] in pieces [01917], and your houses [01005] shall be made [07761] a dunghill [05122]. 27 2 6 But if [02006] ye shew [02324] the dream [02493], and the interpretation [06591] thereof, ye shall receive [06902] of [04481] me [06925] gifts [04978] and rewards [05023] and great [07690] honour [03367]: therefore [03861] shew [02324] me the dream [02493], and the interpretation [06591] thereof. 27 2 7 They answered [06032] again [08579] and said [0560], Let the king [04430] tell [0560] his servants [05649] the dream [02493], and we will shew [02324] the interpretation [06591] of it. 27 2 8 The king [04430] answered [06032] and said [0560], I [0576] know [03046] of [04481] certainty [03330] that ye [0608] would gain [02084] the time [05732], because [06903] [03606] ye see [02370] the thing [04406] is gone [0230] from [04481] me. 27 2 9 But if [02006] ye will not [03809] make known [03046] unto me the dream [02493], there is but one [01932] [02298] decree [01882] for you: for ye have prepared [02164] lying [03538] and corrupt [07844] words [04406] to speak [0560] before [06925] me, till [05705] the time [05732] be changed [08133]: therefore [03861] tell [0560] me the dream [02493], and I shall know [03046] that [01768] ye can shew [02324] me the interpretation [06591] thereof. 27 2 10 The Chaldeans [03779] answered [06032] before [06925] the king [04430], and said [0560], There is [0383] not [03809] a man [0606] upon [05922] the earth [03007] that can [03202] shew [02324] the king's [04430] matter [04406]: therefore [06903] [01768] there is no [03809] king [04430], lord [07229], nor ruler [07990], that asked [07593] such [01836] things [04406] at any [03606] magician [02749], or astrologer [0826], or Chaldean [03779]. 27 2 11 And it is a rare [03358] thing [04406] that the king [04430] requireth [07593], and there is [0383] none [03809] other [0321] that can shew [02324] it before [06925] the king [04430], except [03861] the gods [0426], whose dwelling [04070] is [0383] not [03809] with [05974] flesh [01321]. 27 2 12 For [06903] this [01836] cause [03606] the king [04430] was angry [01149] and very [07690] furious [07108], and commanded [0560] to destroy [07] all [03606] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]. 27 2 13 And the decree [01882] went forth [05312] that the wise [02445] men should be slain [06992]; and they sought [01156] Daniel [01841] and his fellows [02269] to be slain [06992]. 27 2 14 Then [0116] Daniel [01841] answered [08421] with counsel [05843] and wisdom [02942] to Arioch [0746] the captain [07229] of [01768] the king's [04430] guard [02877], which was gone forth [05312] to slay [06992] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]: 27 2 15 He answered [06032] and said [0560] to Arioch [0746] the king's [04430] captain [07990], Why [04101] [05922] is the decree [01882] so hasty [02685] from [04481] [06925] the king [04430]? Then [0116] Arioch [0746] made the thing [04406] known [03046] to Daniel [01841]. 27 2 16 Then Daniel [01841] went in [05954], and desired [01156] of [04481] the king [04430] that he would give [05415] him time [02166], and that he would shew [02324] the king [04430] the interpretation [06591]. 27 2 17 Then [0116] Daniel [01841] went [0236] to his house [01005], and made the thing [04406] known [03046] to Hananiah [02608], Mishael [04333], and Azariah [05839], his companions [02269]: 27 2 18 That they would desire [01156] mercies [07359] of [04481] [06925] the God [0426] of heaven [08065] concerning [05922] this [01836] secret [07328]; that Daniel [01841] and his fellows [02269] should not [03809] perish [07] with [05974] the rest [07606] of the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]. 27 2 19 Then [0116] was the secret [07328] revealed [01541] unto Daniel [01841] in a night [03916] vision [02376]. Then [0116] Daniel [01841] blessed [01289] the God [0426] of heaven [08065]. 27 2 20 Daniel [01841] answered [06032] and said [0560], Blessed [01289] be [01934] the name [08036] of God [0426] for [04481] ever [05957] and ever [05705] [05957]: for wisdom [02452] and might [01370] are [01932] his: 27 2 21 And he changeth [08133] the times [05732] and the seasons [02166]: he removeth [05709] kings [04430], and setteth up [06966] kings [04430]: he giveth [03052] wisdom [02452] unto the wise [02445], and knowledge [04486] to them that know [03046] understanding [0999]: 27 2 22 He revealeth [01541] the deep [05994] and secret things [05642]: he knoweth [03046] what [04101] is in the darkness [02816], and the light [05094] dwelleth [08271] with him [05974]. 27 2 23 I [0576] thank [03029] thee, and praise [07624] thee, O thou God [0426] of my fathers [02], who hast given [03052] me wisdom [02452] and might [01370], and hast made known [03046] unto me now [03705] what we desired [01156] of thee [04481]: for thou hast now made known [03046] unto us the king's [04430] matter [04406]. 27 2 24 Therefore [03606] [06903] [01836] Daniel [01841] went in [05954] unto [05922] Arioch [0746], whom the king [04430] had ordained [04483] to destroy [07] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]: he went [0236] and said [0560] thus [03652] unto him; Destroy [07] not [0409] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]: bring me in [05954] before [06925] the king [04430], and I will shew [02324] unto the king [04430] the interpretation [06591]. 27 2 25 Then [0116] Arioch [0746] brought in [05954] Daniel [01841] before [06925] the king [04430] in haste [0927], and said [0560] thus [03652] unto him, I have found [07912] a man [01400] of the captives [01123] [01547] of [04481] Judah [03061], that will make known [03046] unto the king [04430] the interpretation [06591]. 27 2 26 The king [04430] answered [06032] and said [0560] to Daniel [01841], whose name [08036] was Belteshazzar [01096], Art [0383] thou able [03546] to make known [03046] unto me the dream [02493] which I have seen [02370], and the interpretation [06591] thereof? 27 2 27 Daniel [01841] answered [06032] in the presence [06925] of the king [04430], and said [0560], The secret [07328] which the king [04430] hath demanded [07593] cannot [03202] [03809] the wise [02445] men, the astrologers [0826], the magicians [02749], the soothsayers [01505], shew [02324] unto the king [04430]; 27 2 28 But [01297] there is [0383] a God [0426] in heaven [08065] that revealeth [01541] secrets [07328], and maketh known [03046] to the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] what [04101] shall be [01934] in the latter [0320] days [03118]. Thy dream [02493], and the visions [02376] of thy head [07217] upon [05922] thy bed [04903], are these [01836]; 27 2 29 As for thee [0607], O king [04430], thy thoughts [07476] came [05559] into thy mind upon [05922] thy bed [04903], what [04101] should come to pass [01934] hereafter [0311] [01836]: and he that revealeth [01541] secrets [07328] maketh known [03046] to thee what [04101] shall come to pass [01934]. 27 2 30 But as for me [0576], this [01836] secret [07328] is not [03809] revealed [01541] to me for any wisdom [02452] that I have [0383] more than [04481] any [03606] living [02417], but [03861] for their sakes [01701] that [05922] shall make known [03046] the interpretation [06591] to the king [04430], and that thou mightest know [03046] the thoughts [07476] of thy heart [03825]. 27 2 31 Thou [0607], O king [04430], sawest [01934] [02370], and behold [0431] a great [02298] [07690] image [06755]. This [01797] great [07229] image [06755], whose brightness [02122] was excellent [03493], stood [06966] before [06903] thee; and the form [07299] thereof was terrible [01763]. 27 2 32 This image's [06755] head [07217] was of fine [02869] gold [01722], his breast [02306] and his arms [01872] of silver [03702], his belly [04577] and his thighs [03410] of brass [05174], 27 2 33 His legs [08243] of iron [06523], his feet [07271] part [04481] of iron [06523] and part [04481] of clay [02635]. 27 2 34 Thou sawest [02370] [01934] till [05705] that a stone [069] was cut out [01505] without [03809] hands [03028], which smote [04223] the image [06755] upon [05922] his feet [07271] that were of iron [06523] and clay [02635], and brake [01855] them [01994] to pieces [01855]. 27 2 35 Then [0116] was the iron [06523], the clay [02635], the brass [05174], the silver [03702], and the gold [01722], broken to pieces [01855] [01751] together [02298], and became [01934] like the chaff [05784] of [04481] the summer [07007] threshingfloors [0147]; and the wind [07308] carried [05376] them [01994] away [05376], that [03606] no [03809] place [0870] was found [07912] for them: and the stone [069] that smote [04223] the image [06755] became [01934] a great [07229] mountain [02906], and filled [04391] the whole [03606] earth [0772]. 27 2 36 This [01836] is the dream [02493]; and we will tell [0560] the interpretation [06591] thereof before [06925] the king [04430]. 27 2 37 Thou [0607], O king [04430], art a king [04430] of kings [04430]: for the God [0426] of heaven [08065] hath given [03052] thee a kingdom [04437], power [02632], and strength [08632], and glory [03367]. 27 2 38 And wheresoever [03606] the children [01123] of men [0606] dwell [01753], the beasts [02423] of the field [01251] and the fowls [05776] of the heaven [08065] hath he given [03052] into thine hand [03028], and hath made thee ruler [07981] over them all [03606]. Thou [0607] art this head [07217] of gold [01722]. 27 2 39 And after [0870] thee shall arise [06966] another [0317] kingdom [04437] inferior [0772] to thee [04481], and another [0317] third [08523] kingdom [04437] of brass [05174], which shall bear rule [07981] over all [03606] the earth [0772]. 27 2 40 And the fourth [07244] kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] strong [08624] as iron [06523]: forasmuch as iron [06523] breaketh in pieces [01855] and subdueth [02827] all [03606] things: and as [06903] iron [06523] that breaketh [07490] all [03606] these [0459], shall it break in pieces [01855] and bruise [07490]. 27 2 41 And whereas thou sawest [02370] the feet [07271] and toes [0677], part [04481] of potters [06353]' clay [02635], and part [04481] of iron [06523], the kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] divided [06386]; but [04481] there shall be [01934] in it of [04481] the strength [05326] of the iron [06523], forasmuch as [03606] [06903] thou sawest [02370] the iron [06523] mixed [06151] with miry [02917] clay [02635]. 27 2 42 And as the toes [0677] of the feet [07271] were part [04481] of iron [06523], and part [04481] of clay [02635], so the kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] partly [04481] [07118] strong [08624], and partly [04481] [07118] broken [08406]. 27 2 43 And whereas [01768] thou sawest [02370] iron [06523] mixed [06151] with miry [02917] clay [02635], they shall mingle themselves [01934] [06151] with the seed [02234] of men [0606]: but they shall [01934] not [03809] cleave [01693] one [01836] to [05974] another [01836], even [01888] as iron [06523] is not [03809] mixed [06151] with clay [02635]. 27 2 44 And in the days [03118] of these [0581] kings [04430] shall the God [0426] of heaven [08065] set up [06966] a kingdom [04437], which shall never [05957] [03809] be destroyed [02255]: and the kingdom [04437] shall not [03809] be left [07662] to other [0321] people [05972], but it shall break in pieces [01855] and consume [05487] all [03606] these [0459] kingdoms [04437], and it [01932] shall stand [06966] for ever [05957]. 27 2 45 Forasmuch as [03606] [06903] thou sawest [02370] that the stone [069] was cut out [01505] of the mountain [02906] without [03809] hands [03028], and that it brake in pieces [01855] the iron [06523], the brass [05174], the clay [02635], the silver [03702], and the gold [01722]; the great [07229] God [0426] hath made known [03046] to the king [04430] what [04101] shall come to pass [01934] hereafter [0311] [01836]: and the dream [02493] is certain [03330], and the interpretation [06591] thereof sure [0540]. 27 2 46 Then [0116] the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] fell [05308] upon [05922] his face [0600], and worshipped [05457] Daniel [01841], and commanded [0560] that they should offer [05260] an oblation [04504] and sweet odours [05208] unto him. 27 2 47 The king [04430] answered [06032] unto Daniel [01841], and said [0560], Of [04481] a truth [07187] it is, that [01768] your God [0426] is a God [0426] of gods [0426], and a Lord [04756] of kings [04430], and a revealer [01541] of secrets [07328], seeing thou couldest [03202] reveal [01541] this [01836] secret [07328]. 27 2 48 Then [0116] the king [04430] made [07236] Daniel [01841] a great man [07236], and gave [03052] him many [07690] great [07260] gifts [04978], and made him ruler [07981] over [05922] the whole [03606] province [04083] of Babylon [0895], and chief [07229] of the governors [05460] over [05922] all [03606] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895]. 27 2 49 Then Daniel [01841] requested [01156] of [04481] the king [04430], and he set [04483] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], over [05922] the affairs [05673] of the province [04083] of Babylon [0895]: but Daniel [01841] sat in the gate [08651] of the king [04430]. 27 3 1 Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] made [05648] an image [06755] of gold [01722], whose height [07314] was threescore [08361] cubits [0521], and the breadth [06613] thereof six [08353] cubits [0521]: he set it up [06966] in the plain [01236] of Dura [01757], in the province [04083] of Babylon [0895]. 27 3 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] sent [07972] to gather together [03673] the princes [0324], the governors [05460], and the captains [06347], the judges [0148], the treasurers [01411], the counsellors [01884], the sheriffs [08614], and all [03606] the rulers [07984] of the provinces [04083], to come [0858] to the dedication [02597] of the image [06755] which Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] had set up [06966]. 27 3 3 Then [0116] the princes [0324], the governors [05460], and captains [06347], the judges [0148], the treasurers [01411], the counsellors [01884], the sheriffs [08614], and all [03606] the rulers [07984] of the provinces [04083], were gathered together [03673] unto the dedication [02597] of the image [06755] that Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] had set up [06966]; and they stood [06966] before [06903] the image [06755] that Nebuchadnezzar [05020] had set up [06966]. 27 3 4 Then an herald [03744] cried [07123] aloud [02429], To you it is commanded [0560], O people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], 27 3 5 That at what time [05732] ye hear [08086] the sound [07032] of the cornet [07162], flute [04953], harp [07030] [07030], sackbut [05443], psaltery [06460], dulcimer [05481], and all [03606] kinds [02178] of musick [02170], ye fall down [05308] and worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] that Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] hath set up [06966]: 27 3 6 And whoso [04479] falleth [05308] not [03809] down [05308] and worshippeth [05457] shall the same hour [08160] be cast [07412] into the midst [01459] of a burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]. 27 3 7 Therefore [06903] [01836] at that time [02166], when [01768] all [03606] the people [05972] heard [08086] the sound [07032] of the cornet [07162], flute [04953], harp [07030] [07030], sackbut [05443], psaltery [06460], and all [03606] kinds [02178] of musick [02170], all [03606] the people [05972], the nations [0524], and the languages [03961], fell down [05308] and worshipped [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] that Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] had set up [06966]. 27 3 8 Wherefore [06903] [03606] at that [01836] time [02166] certain [01400] Chaldeans [03779] came near [07127], and accused [07170] [0399] the Jews [03062]. 27 3 9 They spake [06032] and said [0560] to the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020], O king [04430], live [02418] for ever [05957]. 27 3 10 Thou [0607], O king [04430], hast made [07761] a decree [02942], that every [03606] man [0606] that shall hear [08086] the sound [07032] of the cornet [07162], flute [04953], harp [07030] [07030], sackbut [05443], psaltery [06460], and dulcimer [05481] [05481], and all [03606] kinds [02178] of musick [02170], shall fall down [05308] and worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755]: 27 3 11 And whoso [04479] falleth [05308] not [03809] down [05308] and worshippeth [05457], that he should be cast [07412] into the midst [01459] of a burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]. 27 3 12 There are [0383] certain [01400] Jews [03062] whom [03487] thou hast set [04483] over [05922] the affairs [05673] of the province [04083] of Babylon [0895], Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]; these [0479] men [01400], O king [04430], have [07761] not [03809] regarded [02942] thee [05922]: they serve [06399] not [03809] thy gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which thou hast set up [06966]. 27 3 13 Then [0116] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] in his rage [07266] and fury [02528] commanded [0560] to bring [0858] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]. Then [0116] they brought [0858] these [0479] men [01400] before [06925] the king [04430]. 27 3 14 Nebuchadnezzar [05020] spake [06032] and said [0560] unto them, Is it true [06656], O Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], do not [03809] ye [0383] serve [06399] my gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which I have set [06966] up? 27 3 15 Now [03705] if [02006] ye be [0383] ready [06263] that at what time [05732] ye hear [08086] the sound [07032] of the cornet [07162], flute [04953], harp [07030] [07030], sackbut [05443], psaltery [06460], and dulcimer [05481], and all [03606] kinds [02178] of musick [02170], ye fall down [05308] and worship [05457] the image [06755] which I have made [05648]; well: but if [02006] ye worship [05457] not [03809], ye shall be cast [07412] the same hour [08160] into the midst [01459] of a burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]; and who [04479] is that God [0426] that shall deliver [07804] you out of [04481] my hands [03028]? 27 3 16 Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], answered [06032] and said [0560] to the king [04430], O Nebuchadnezzar [05020], we [0586] are not [03809] careful [02818] to answer [08421] thee in [05922] this [01836] matter [06600]. 27 3 17 If [02006] it be so, our God [0426] whom we [0586] serve [06399] is [0383] able [03202] to deliver [07804] us from [04481] the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861], and [04481] he will deliver [07804] us out of [04481] thine hand [03028], O king [04430]. 27 3 18 But if [02006] not [03809], be it [01934] known [03046] unto thee, O king [04430], that we will [0383] not [03809] serve [06399] thy gods [0426], nor [03809] worship [05457] the golden [01722] image [06755] which thou hast set up [06966]. 27 3 19 Then [0116] was Nebuchadnezzar [05020] full [04391] of fury [02528], and the form [06755] of his visage [0600] was changed [08133] against [05922] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]: therefore he spake [06032], and commanded [0560] that they should heat [0228] the furnace [0861] one [02298] seven times [07655] more [05922] than [01768] it was wont [02370] to be heated [0228]. 27 3 20 And he commanded [0560] the most [02429] mighty [01401] men [01400] that were in his army [02429] to bind [03729] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], and to cast [07412] them into the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]. 27 3 21 Then [0116] these [0479] men [01400] were bound [03729] in their coats [05622], their hosen [06361] [06361], and their hats [03737], and their other garments [03831], and were cast [07412] into the midst [01459] of the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]. 27 3 22 Therefore [03606] [06903] because [04481] [01836] the king's [04430] commandment [04406] was urgent [02685], and the furnace [0861] exceeding [03493] hot [0228], the flame [07631] of the fire [05135] slew [06992] those [0479] men [01400] [01994] that took up [05267] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665]. 27 3 23 And these [0479] three [08532] men [01400], Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], fell down [05308] bound [03729] into the midst [01459] of the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861]. 27 3 24 Then [0116] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430] was astonied [08429], and rose up [06966] in haste [0927], and spake [06032], and said [0560] unto his counsellors [01907], Did not [03809] we cast [07412] three [08532] men [01400] bound [03729] into the midst [01459] of the fire [05135]? They answered [06032] and said [0560] unto the king [04430], True [03330], O king [04430]. 27 3 25 He answered [06032] and said [0560], Lo [01888], I [0576] see [02370] four [0703] men [01400] loose [08271], walking [01981] in the midst [01459] of the fire [05135], and they have [0383] no [03809] hurt [02257]; and the form [07299] of the fourth [07244] is like [01821] the Son [01247] of God [0426]. 27 3 26 Then [0116] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] came near [07127] to the mouth [08651] of the burning [03345] fiery [05135] furnace [0861], and spake [06032], and said [0560], Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], ye servants [05649] of the most high [05943] God [0426], come forth [05312], and come [0858] hither. Then [0116] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], came forth [05312] of [04481] the midst [01459] of the fire [05135]. 27 3 27 And the princes [0324], governors [05460], and captains [06347], and the king's [04430] counsellors [01907], being gathered together [03673], saw [02370] these [0479] men [01400], upon whose bodies [01655] the fire [05135] had no [03809] power [07981], nor [03809] was an hair [08177] of their head [07217] singed [02761], neither [03809] were their coats [05622] changed [08133], nor [03809] the smell [07382] of fire [05135] had passed [05709] on them. 27 3 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar [05020] spake [06032], and said [0560], Blessed [01289] be the God [0426] of Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], who hath sent [07972] his angel [04398], and delivered [07804] his servants [05649] that trusted [07365] in him [05922], and have changed [08133] the king's [04430] word [04406], and yielded [03052] their bodies [01655], that they might not [03809] serve [06399] nor [03809] worship [05457] any [03606] god [0426], except [03861] their own God [0426]. 27 3 29 Therefore I [04481] make [07761] a decree [02942], That every [03606] people [05972], nation [0524], and language [03961], which speak [0560] any thing amiss [07960] [07955] against [05922] the God [0426] of Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], shall be cut [05648] in pieces [01917], and their houses [01005] shall be made [07739] a dunghill [05122]: because [06903] [03606] there is [0383] no [03809] other [0321] God [0426] that can [03202] deliver [05338] after this [01836] sort. 27 3 30 Then [0116] the king [04430] promoted [06744] Shadrach [07715], Meshach [04336], and Abednego [05665], in the province [04083] of Babylon [0895]. 27 4 1 Nebuchadnezzar [05020] the king [04430], unto all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], that dwell [01753] in all [03606] the earth [0772]; Peace [08001] be multiplied [07680] unto you. 27 4 2 I thought [06925] it good [08232] to shew [02324] the signs [0852] and wonders [08540] that the high [05943] God [0426] hath wrought [05648] toward [05974] me. 27 4 3 How [04101] great [07260] are his signs [0852]! and how [04101] mighty [08624] are his wonders [08540]! his kingdom [04437] is an everlasting [05957] kingdom [04437], and his dominion [07985] is from [05974] generation [01859] to generation [01859]. 27 4 4 I [0576] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] was [01934] at rest [07954] in mine house [01005], and flourishing [07487] in my palace [01965]: 27 4 5 I saw [02370] a dream [02493] which made me afraid [01763], and the thoughts [02031] upon [05922] my bed [04903] and the visions [02376] of my head [07217] troubled [0927] me. 27 4 6 Therefore [04481] made [07761] I [04481] a decree [02942] to bring [05954] in all [03606] the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895] before [06925] me, that they might make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591] of the dream [02493]. 27 4 7 Then [0116] came [05954] in the magicians [02749], the astrologers [0826], the Chaldeans [03779], and the soothsayers [01505]: and I [0576] told [0560] the dream [02493] before [06925] them; but they did not [03809] make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591] thereof. 27 4 8 But at [05705] the last [0318] Daniel [01841] came in [05922] before me [06925], whose name [08036] was Belteshazzar [01096], according to the name [08036] of my god [0426], and in whom is the spirit [07308] of the holy [06922] gods [0426]: and before [06925] him I told [0560] the dream [02493], saying, 27 4 9 O Belteshazzar [01096], master [07229] of the magicians [02749], because I [0576] know [03046] that the spirit [07308] of the holy [06922] gods [0426] is in thee, and no [03606] [03809] secret [07328] troubleth [0598] thee, tell [0560] me the visions [02376] of my dream [02493] that I have seen [02370], and the interpretation [06591] thereof. 27 4 10 Thus were the visions [02376] of mine head [07217] in [05922] my bed [04903]; I saw [01934] [02370], and behold [0431] a tree [0363] in the midst [01459] of the earth [0772], and the height [07314] thereof was great [07690]. 27 4 11 The tree [0363] grew [07236], and was strong [08631], and the height [07314] thereof reached [04291] unto heaven [08065], and the sight [02379] thereof to the end [05491] of all [03606] the earth [0772]: 27 4 12 The leaves [06074] thereof were fair [08209], and the fruit [04] thereof much [07690], and in it was meat [04203] for all [03606]: the beasts [02423] of the field [01251] had shadow [02927] under [08460] it, and the fowls [06853] of the heaven [08065] dwelt [01753] in the boughs [06056] thereof, and all [03606] flesh [01321] was fed [02110] of it [04481]. 27 4 13 I saw [01934] [02370] in the visions [02376] of my head [07217] upon [05922] my bed [04903], and, behold [0431], a watcher [05894] and an holy one [06922] came down [05182] from [04481] heaven [08065]; 27 4 14 He cried [07123] aloud [02429], and said [0560] thus [03652], Hew down [01414] the tree [0363], and cut off [07113] his branches [06056], shake off [05426] his leaves [06074], and scatter [0921] his fruit [04]: let the beasts [02423] get away [05111] from [04481] under it [08479], and the fowls [06853] from [04481] his branches [06056]: 27 4 15 Nevertheless [01297] leave [07662] the stump [06136] of his roots [08330] in the earth [0772], even with a band [0613] of iron [06523] and brass [05174], in the tender grass [01883] of the field [01251]; and let it be wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], and let his portion [02508] be with [05974] the beasts [02423] in the grass [06211] of the earth [0772]: 27 4 16 Let his heart [03825] be changed [08133] from [04481] man's [0606], and let a beast's [02423] heart [03825] be given [03052] unto him; and let seven [07655] times [05732] pass [02499] over [05922] him. 27 4 17 This matter [06600] is by the decree [01510] of the watchers [05894], and the demand [07595] by the word [03983] of the holy ones [06922]: to [05705] the intent [01701] that the living [02417] may know [03046] that the most High [05943] ruleth [07990] in the kingdom [04437] of men [0606], and giveth [05415] it to whomsoever [04479] he will [06634], and setteth up [06966] over [05922] it the basest [08215] of men [0606]. 27 4 18 This [01836] dream [02493] I [0576] king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] have seen [02370]. Now thou [0607], O Belteshazzar [01096], declare [0560] the interpretation [06591] thereof, forasmuch as [06903] all [03606] the wise [02445] men of my kingdom [04437] are not [03809] able [03202] to make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591]: but thou [0607] art able [03546]; for the spirit [07308] of the holy [06922] gods [0426] is in thee. 27 4 19 Then [0116] Daniel [01841], whose name [08036] was Belteshazzar [01096], was astonied [08075] for one [02298] hour [08160], and his thoughts [07476] troubled [0927] him. The king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560], Belteshazzar [01096], let not [0409] the dream [02493], or the interpretation [06591] thereof, trouble [0927] thee. Belteshazzar [01096] answered [06032] and said [0560], My lord [04756], the dream [02493] be to them that hate [08131] thee, and the interpretation [06591] thereof to thine enemies [06146]. 27 4 20 The tree [0363] that thou sawest [02370], which grew [07236], and was strong [08631], whose height [07314] reached [04291] unto the heaven [08065], and the sight [02379] thereof to all [03606] the earth [0772]; 27 4 21 Whose leaves [06074] were fair [08209], and the fruit [04] thereof much [07690], and in it was meat [04203] for all [03606]; under [08460] which the beasts [02423] of the field [01251] dwelt [01753], and upon whose branches [06056] the fowls [06853] of the heaven [08065] had their habitation [07932]: 27 4 22 It is thou [0607], O king [04430], that art grown [07236] and become strong [08631]: for thy greatness [07238] is grown [07236], and reacheth [04291] unto heaven [08065], and thy dominion [07985] to the end [05491] of the earth [0772]. 27 4 23 And whereas the king [04430] saw [02370] a watcher [05894] and an holy one [06922] coming down [05182] from [04481] heaven [08065], and saying [0560], Hew [01414] the tree [0363] down [01414], and destroy [02255] it; yet [01297] leave [07662] the stump [06136] of the roots [08330] thereof in the earth [0772], even with a band [0613] of iron [06523] and brass [05174], in the tender grass [01883] of the field [01251]; and let it be wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], and let his portion [02508] be with [05974] the beasts [02423] of the field [01251], till [05705] seven [07655] times [05732] pass [02499] over [05922] him; 27 4 24 This [01836] is the interpretation [06591], O king [04430], and this [01932] is the decree [01510] of the most High [05943], which is come [04291] upon [05922] my lord [04756] the king [04430]: 27 4 25 That they shall drive [02957] thee from [04481] men [0606], and thy dwelling [04070] shall be [01934] with [05974] the beasts [02423] of the field [01251], and they shall make thee to eat [02939] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and they shall wet [06647] thee with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], and seven [07655] times [05732] shall pass [02499] over [05922] thee, till [05705] thou know [03046] that the most High [05943] ruleth [07990] in the kingdom [04437] of men [0606], and giveth [05415] it to whomsoever [04479] he will [06634]. 27 4 26 And whereas they commanded [0560] to leave [07662] the stump [06136] of the tree [0363] roots [08330]; thy kingdom [04437] shall be sure [07011] unto thee, after [04481] that thou shalt have known [03046] that the heavens [08065] do rule [07990]. 27 4 27 Wherefore [03861], O king [04430], let my counsel [04431] be acceptable [08232] unto thee [05922], and break off [06562] thy sins [02408] by righteousness [06665], and thine iniquities [05758] by shewing mercy [02604] to the poor [06033]; if [02006] it may be [01934] a lengthening [0754] of thy tranquillity [07963]. 27 4 28 All [03606] this came [04291] upon [05922] the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020]. 27 4 29 At the end [07118] of twelve [08648] [06236] months [03393] he walked [01934] [01981] in [05922] the palace [01965] of the kingdom [04437] of Babylon [0895]. 27 4 30 The king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560], Is not [03809] this [01932] [01668] great [07229] Babylon [0895], that I [0576] have built [01124] for the house [01005] of the kingdom [04437] by the might [08632] of my power [02632], and for the honour [03367] of my majesty [01923]? 27 4 31 While [05751] the word [04406] was in the king's [04430] mouth [06433], there fell [05308] a voice [07032] from [04481] heaven [08065], saying, O king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020], to thee it is spoken [0560]; The kingdom [04437] is departed [05709] from [04481] thee. 27 4 32 And they shall drive [02957] thee from [04481] men [0606], and thy dwelling [04070] shall be with [05974] the beasts [02423] of the field [01251]: they shall make thee to eat [02939] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and seven [07655] times [05732] shall pass [02499] over [05922] thee, until [05705] thou know [03046] that the most High [05943] ruleth [07990] in the kingdom [04437] of men [0606], and giveth [05415] it to whomsoever [04479] he will [06634]. 27 4 33 The same hour [08160] was the thing [04406] fulfilled [05487] upon [05922] Nebuchadnezzar [05020]: and he was driven [02957] from [04481] men [0606], and did eat [0399] grass [06211] as oxen [08450], and his body [01655] was wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065], till [05705] his hairs [08177] were grown [07236] like eagles [05403]' feathers, and his nails [02953] like birds [06853]' claws. 27 4 34 And at the end [07118] of the days [03118] I [0576] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] lifted up [05191] mine eyes [05870] unto heaven [08065], and mine understanding [04486] returned [08421] unto me [05922], and I blessed [01289] the most High [05943], and I praised [07624] and honoured [01922] him that liveth [02417] for ever [05957], whose dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], and his kingdom [04437] is from [05974] generation [01859] to generation [01859]: 27 4 35 And all [03606] the inhabitants [01753] of the earth [0772] are reputed [02804] as nothing [03809]: and he doeth [05648] according to his will [06634] in the army [02429] of heaven [08065], and among the inhabitants [01753] of the earth [0772]: and none [03809] can [0383] stay [04223] his hand [03028], or say [0560] unto him, What [04101] doest [05648] thou? 27 4 36 At the same time [02166] my reason [04486] returned [08421] unto me [05922]; and for the glory [03367] of my kingdom [04437], mine honour [01923] and brightness [02122] returned [08421] unto me [05922]; and my counsellors [01907] and my lords [07261] sought [01156] unto me [05922]; and I was established [08627] in my kingdom [04437], and excellent [03493] majesty [07238] was added [03255] unto me. 27 4 37 Now [03705] I [0576] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] praise [07624] and extol [07313] and honour [01922] the King [04430] of heaven [08065], all [03606] whose works [04567] are truth [07187], and his ways [0735] judgment [01780]: and those that walk [01981] in pride [01467] he is able [03202] to abase [08214]. 27 5 1 Belshazzar [01113] the king [04430] made [05648] a great [07229] feast [03900] to a thousand [0506] of his lords [07261], and drank [08355] wine [02562] before [06903] the thousand [0506]. 27 5 2 Belshazzar [01113], whiles he tasted [02942] the wine [02562], commanded [0560] to bring [0858] the golden [01722] and silver [03702] vessels [03984] which his father [02] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] had taken [05312] out of [04481] the temple [01965] which was in Jerusalem [03390]; that the king [04430], and his princes [07261], his wives [07695], and his concubines [03904], might drink [08355] therein. 27 5 3 Then [0116] they brought [0858] the golden [01722] vessels [03984] that were taken [05312] out of [04481] the temple [01965] of the house [01005] of God [0426] which was at Jerusalem [03390]; and the king [04430], and his princes [07261], his wives [07695], and his concubines [03904], drank [08355] in them. 27 5 4 They drank [08355] wine [02562], and praised [07624] the gods [0426] of gold [01722], and of silver [03702], of brass [05174], of iron [06523], of wood [0636], and of stone [069]. 27 5 5 In the same hour [08160] came forth [05312] fingers [0677] of a man's [0606] hand [03028], and wrote [03790] over against [06903] the candlestick [05043] upon [05922] the plaister [01528] of the wall [03797] of the king's [04430] palace [01965]: and the king [04430] saw [02370] the part [06447] of the hand [03028] that wrote [03790]. 27 5 6 Then [0116] the king's [04430] countenance [02122] was changed [08133], and his thoughts [07476] troubled [0927] him, so that the joints [07001] of his loins [02783] were loosed [08271], and his knees [0755] smote [05368] one [01668] against another [01668]. 27 5 7 The king [04430] cried [07123] aloud [02429] to bring [05954] in the astrologers [0826], the Chaldeans [03779], and the soothsayers [01505]. And the king [04430] spake [06032], and said [0560] to the wise [02445] men of Babylon [0895], Whosoever [0606] [03606] shall read [07123] this [01836] writing [03792], and shew [02324] me the interpretation [06591] thereof, shall be clothed [03848] with scarlet [0711], and have a chain [02002] of gold [01722] about [05922] his neck [06676], and shall be the third [08523] ruler [07981] in the kingdom [04437]. 27 5 8 Then [0116] came [05954] in all [03606] the king's [04430] wise [02445] men: but they could [03546] not [03809] read [07123] the writing [03792], nor make known [03046] to the king [04430] the interpretation [06591] thereof. 27 5 9 Then [0116] was king [04430] Belshazzar [01113] greatly [07690] troubled [0927], and his countenance [02122] was changed [08133] in him [05922], and his lords [07261] were astonied [07672]. 27 5 10 Now the queen [04433], by reason [06903] of the words [04406] of the king [04430] and his lords [07261], came [05954] into the banquet [04961] house [01005]: and the queen [04433] spake [06032] and said [0560], O king [04430], live [02418] for ever [05957]: let not [0409] thy thoughts [07476] trouble [0927] thee, nor let thy countenance [02122] be changed [08133]: 27 5 11 There is [0383] a man [01400] in thy kingdom [04437], in whom is the spirit [07308] of the holy [06922] gods [0426]; and in the days [03118] of thy father [02] light [05094] and understanding [07924] and wisdom [02452], like the wisdom [02452] of the gods [0426], was found [07912] in him; whom the king [04430] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] thy father [02], the king [04430], I say, thy father [02], made [06966] master [07229] of the magicians [02749], astrologers [0826], Chaldeans [03779], and soothsayers [01505]; 27 5 12 Forasmuch as [06903] [03606] an excellent [03493] spirit [07308], and knowledge [04486], and understanding [07924], interpreting [06590] of dreams [02493], and shewing [0263] of hard sentences [0280], and dissolving [08271] of doubts [07001], were found [07912] in the same Daniel [01841], whom the king [04430] named [07761] [08036] Belteshazzar [01096]: now [03705] let Daniel [01841] be called [07123], and he will shew [02324] the interpretation [06591]. 27 5 13 Then [0116] was Daniel [01841] brought in [05954] before [06925] the king [04430]. And the king [04430] spake [06032] and said [0560] unto Daniel [01841], Art thou [0607] that Daniel [01841], which art of [04481] the children [01123] of the captivity [01547] of Judah [03061], whom the king [04430] my father [02] brought [0858] out of [04481] Jewry [03061]? 27 5 14 I have even heard [08086] of thee, that the spirit [07308] of the gods [0426] is in thee [05922], and that light [05094] and understanding [07924] and excellent [03493] wisdom [02452] is found [07912] in thee. 27 5 15 And now [03705] the wise [02445] men, the astrologers [0826], have been brought [05954] in before [06925] me, that they should read [07123] this [01836] writing [03792], and make known [03046] unto me the interpretation [06591] thereof: but they could [03546] not [03809] shew [02324] the interpretation [06591] of the thing [04406]: 27 5 16 And I [0576] have heard [08086] of thee [05922], that thou canst [03202] make [06590] interpretations [06591], and dissolve [08271] doubts [07001]: now [03705] if [02006] thou canst [03202] read [07123] the writing [03792], and make known [03046] to me the interpretation [06591] thereof, thou shalt be clothed [03848] with scarlet [0711], and have a chain [02002] of gold [01722] about [05922] thy neck [06676], and shalt be the third [08531] ruler [07981] in the kingdom [04437]. 27 5 17 Then [0116] Daniel [01841] answered [06032] and said [0560] before [06925] the king [04430], Let thy gifts [04978] be [01934] to thyself, and give [03052] thy rewards [05023] to another [0321]; yet [01297] I will read [07123] the writing [03792] unto the king [04430], and make known [03046] to him the interpretation [06591]. 27 5 18 O thou [0607] king [04430], the most high [05943] God [0426] gave [03052] Nebuchadnezzar [05020] thy father [02] a kingdom [04437], and majesty [07238], and glory [03367], and honour [01923]: 27 5 19 And for [04481] the majesty [07238] that he gave [03052] him, all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], trembled [01934] [02112] and feared [01763] before [04481] him [06925]: whom he would [01934] [06634] he slew [01934] [06992]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he kept alive [01934] [02418]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he set up [01934] [07313]; and whom he would [01934] [06634] he put down [01934] [08214]. 27 5 20 But when his heart [03825] was lifted up [07313], and his mind [07308] hardened [08631] in pride [02103], he was deposed [05182] from [04481] his kingly [04437] throne [03764], and they took [05709] his glory [03367] from him [04481]: 27 5 21 And he was driven [02957] from [04481] the sons [01123] of men [0606]; and his heart [03825] was made [07739] like [05974] the beasts [02423], and his dwelling [04070] was with the wild asses [06167]: they fed [02939] him with grass [06211] like oxen [08450], and his body [01655] was wet [06647] with the dew [02920] of heaven [08065]; till [05705] he knew [03046] that the most high [05943] God [0426] ruled [07990] in the kingdom [04437] of men [0606], and that he appointeth [06966] over [05922] it whomsoever [04479] he will [06634]. 27 5 22 And thou [0607] his son [01247], O Belshazzar [01113], hast not [03809] humbled [08214] thine heart [03825], though [06903] thou knewest [03046] all [03606] this [01836]; 27 5 23 But hast lifted up [07313] thyself against [05922] the Lord [04756] of heaven [08065]; and they have brought [0858] the vessels [03984] of his house [01005] before [06925] thee, and thou [0607], and thy lords [07261], thy wives [07695], and thy concubines [03904], have drunk [08355] wine [02562] in them; and thou hast praised [07624] the gods [0426] of silver [03702], and gold [01722], of brass [05174], iron [06523], wood [0636], and stone [069], which see [02370] not [03809], nor [03809] hear [08086], nor [03809] know [03046]: and the God [0426] in whose hand [03028] thy breath [05396] is, and whose are all [03606] thy ways [0735], hast thou not [03809] glorified [01922]: 27 5 24 Then [0116] was the part [06447] of the hand [03028] sent [07972] from [04481] him [06925]; and this [01836] writing [03792] was written [07560]. 27 5 25 And this [01836] is the writing [03792] that was written [07560], MENE [04484], MENE [04484], TEKEL [08625], UPHARSIN [06537]. 27 5 26 This [01836] is the interpretation [06591] of the thing [04406]: MENE [04484]; God [0426] hath numbered [04483] thy kingdom [04437], and finished [08000] it. 27 5 27 TEKEL [08625]; Thou art weighed [08625] in the balances [03977], and art found [07912] wanting [02627]. 27 5 28 PERES [06537]; Thy kingdom [04437] is divided [06537], and given [03052] to the Medes [04076] and Persians [06540]. 27 5 29 Then [0116] commanded [0560] Belshazzar [01113], and they clothed [03848] Daniel [01841] with scarlet [0711], and put a chain [02002] of gold [01722] about [05922] his neck [06676], and made a proclamation [03745] concerning [05922] him, that he should be [01934] the third [08531] ruler [07990] in the kingdom [04437]. 27 5 30 In that night [03916] was Belshazzar [01113] the king [04430] of the Chaldeans [03779] slain [06992]. 27 5 31 And Darius [01868] the Median [04077] took [06902] the kingdom [04437], being about threescore [08361] and two [08648] years [08140] old [01247]. 27 6 1 It pleased [06925] [08232] Darius [01868] to set [06966] over [05922] the kingdom [04437] an hundred [03969] and twenty [06243] princes [0324], which should be [01934] over the whole [03606] kingdom [04437]; 27 6 2 And over [05924] these [04481] three [08532] presidents [05632]; of whom [04481] Daniel [01841] was first [02298]: that [0459] the princes [0324] might [01934] give [03052] accounts [02941] unto them, and the king [04430] should have [01934] no [03809] damage [05142]. 27 6 3 Then [0116] this [01836] Daniel [01841] was [01934] preferred [05330] above [05922] the presidents [05632] and princes [0324], because [03606] [06903] an excellent [03493] spirit [07308] was in him; and the king [04430] thought [06246] to set [06966] him over [05922] the whole [03606] realm [04437]. 27 6 4 Then [0116] the presidents [05632] and princes [0324] sought [01934] [01156] to find [07912] occasion [05931] against Daniel [01841] concerning [06655] the kingdom [04437]; but [03606] they could [03202] find [07912] none [03809] occasion [05931] nor [03809] fault [07844]; forasmuch [06903] as he was faithful [0540], neither [03809] was there any [03606] error [07960] or fault [07844] found [07912] in him [05922]. 27 6 5 Then [0116] said [0560] these [0479] men [01400], We shall not [03809] find [07912] any [03606] occasion [05931] against [05922] this [01836] Daniel [01841], except [03861] we find [07912] it against him concerning the law [01882] of his God [0426]. 27 6 6 Then [0116] these [0459] presidents [05632] and princes [0324] assembled together [07284] to the king [04430], and said [0560] thus [03652] unto him [05922], King [04430] Darius [01868], live [02418] for ever [05957]. 27 6 7 All [03606] the presidents [05632] of the kingdom [04437], the governors [05460], and the princes [0324], the counsellors [01907], and the captains [06347], have consulted together [03272] to establish [06966] a royal [04430] statute [07010], and to make a firm [08631] decree [0633], that whosoever shall ask [01156] a petition [01159] of [04481] any [03606] God [0426] or man [0606] for [05705] thirty [08533] days [03118], save [03861] of thee [04481], O king [04430], he shall be cast [07412] into the den [01358] of lions [0744]. 27 6 8 Now [03705], O king [04430], establish [06966] the decree [0633], and sign [07560] the writing [03792], that it be not [03809] changed [08133], according to the law [01882] of the Medes [04076] and Persians [06540], which altereth [05709] not [03809]. 27 6 9 Wherefore [03606] [01836] [06903] king [04430] Darius [01868] signed [07560] the writing [03792] and the decree [0633]. 27 6 10 Now when Daniel [01841] knew [03046] that the writing [03792] was signed [07560], he went [05954] into his house [01005]; and his windows [03551] being open [06606] in his chamber [05952] toward [05049] Jerusalem [03390], he kneeled [01289] upon [05922] his knees [01291] three [08532] times [02166] a day [03118], and prayed [06739], and gave thanks [03029] before [06925] his God [0426], as [06903] [03606] he did [01934] [05648] aforetime [04481] [01836] [06928]. 27 6 11 Then [0116] these [0479] men [01400] assembled [07284], and found [07912] Daniel [01841] praying [01156] and making supplication [02604] before [06925] his God [0426]. 27 6 12 Then [0116] they came near [07127], and spake [0560] before [06925] the king [04430] concerning [05922] the king's [04430] decree [0633]; Hast thou not [03809] signed [07560] a decree [0633], that every [03606] man [0606] that shall ask [01156] a petition of [04481] any [03606] God [0426] or man [0606] within [05705] thirty [08533] days [03118], save [03861] of thee [04481], O king [04430], shall be cast [07412] into the den [01358] of lions [0744]? The king [04430] answered [06032] and said [0560], The thing [04406] is true [03330], according to the law [01882] of the Medes [04076] and Persians [06540], which altereth [05709] not [03809]. 27 6 13 Then [0116] answered [06032] they and said [0560] before [06925] the king [04430], That Daniel [01841], which is of [04481] the children [01123] of the captivity [01547] of Judah [03061], regardeth [07761] [02942] not [03809] thee [05922], O king [04430], nor the decree [0633] that thou hast signed [07560], but maketh [01156] his petition [01159] three [08532] times [02166] a day [03118]. 27 6 14 Then [0116] the king [04430], when he heard [08086] these words [04406], was sore [07690] displeased [0888] with himself, and set [07761] his heart [01079] on [05922] Daniel [01841] to deliver [07804] him: and he laboured [01934] [07712] till [05705] the going down [04606] of the sun [08122] to deliver [05338] him. 27 6 15 Then [0116] these [0479] men [01400] assembled [07284] unto [05922] the king [04430], and said [0560] unto the king [04430], Know [03046], O king [04430], that the law [01882] of the Medes [04076] and Persians [06540] is, That no [03606] decree [0633] nor statute [07010] which the king [04430] establisheth [06966] may be changed [08133]. 27 6 16 Then [0116] the king [04430] commanded [0560], and they brought [0858] Daniel [01841], and cast [07412] him into the den [01358] of lions [0744]. Now the king [04430] spake [06032] and said [0560] unto Daniel [01841], Thy God [0426] whom thou [0607] servest [06399] continually [08411], he will deliver [07804] thee. 27 6 17 And a [02298] stone [069] was brought [0858], and laid [07761] upon [05922] the mouth [06433] of the den [01358]; and the king [04430] sealed [02857] it with his own signet [05824], and with the signet [05824] of his lords [07261]; that the purpose [06640] might not [03809] be changed [08133] concerning Daniel [01841]. 27 6 18 Then [0116] the king [04430] went [0236] to his palace [01965], and passed the night [0956] fasting [02908]: neither [03809] were instruments [01761] of musick brought [05954] before [06925] him: and his sleep [08139] went [05075] from him [05922]. 27 6 19 Then [0116] the king [04430] arose [06966] very early [08238] in the morning [05053], and went [0236] in haste [0927] unto the den [01358] of lions [0744]. 27 6 20 And when he came [07127] to the den [01358], he cried [02200] with a lamentable [06088] voice [07032] unto Daniel [01841]: and the king [04430] spake [06032] and said [0560] to Daniel [01841], O Daniel [01841], servant [05649] of the living [02417] God [0426], is thy God [0426], whom thou servest [06399] continually [08411], able [03202] to deliver [07804] thee from [04481] the lions [0744]? 27 6 21 Then [0116] said [04449] Daniel [01841] unto [05974] the king [04430], O king [04430], live [02418] for ever [05957]. 27 6 22 My God [0426] hath sent [07972] his angel [04398], and hath shut [05463] the lions [0744]' mouths [06433], that they have not [03809] hurt [02255] me: forasmuch as [03606] [06903] before [06925] him innocency [02136] was found [07912] in me; and also [0638] before [06925] thee, O king [04430], have I done [05648] no [03809] hurt [02248]. 27 6 23 Then [0116] was the king [04430] exceeding [07690] glad [02868] for him [05922], and commanded [0560] that they should take [05267] Daniel [01841] up [05267] out of [04481] the den [01358]. So Daniel [01841] was taken up [05267] out of [04481] the den [01358], and no [03809] manner [03606] of hurt [02257] was found [07912] upon him, because he believed [0540] in his God [0426]. 27 6 24 And the king [04430] commanded [0560], and they brought [0858] those [0479] men [01400] which had accused [0399] [07170] Daniel [01841], and they cast [07412] them into the den [01358] of lions [0744], them [0581], their children [01123], and their wives [05389]; and the lions [0744] had the mastery [05705] [07981] of them, and brake [01855] all [03606] their bones [01635] in pieces [01855] or ever [03809] they came [04291] at the bottom [0773] of the den [01358]. 27 6 25 Then [0116] king [04430] Darius [01868] wrote [03790] unto all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], that dwell [01753] in all [03606] the earth [0772]; Peace [08001] be multiplied [07680] unto you. 27 6 26 I [04481] [06925] make [07761] a decree [02942], That in every [03606] dominion [07985] of my kingdom [04437] men tremble [01934] [02112] and fear [01763] before [04481] [06925] the God [0426] of Daniel [01841]: for he is the living [02417] God [0426], and stedfast [07011] for ever [05957], and his kingdom [04437] that which shall not [03809] be destroyed [02255], and his dominion [07985] shall be even unto [05705] the end [05491]. 27 6 27 He delivereth [07804] and rescueth [05338], and he worketh [05648] signs [0852] and wonders [08540] in heaven [08065] and in earth [0772], who hath delivered [07804] Daniel [01841] from [04481] the power [03028] of the lions [0744]. 27 6 28 So this [01836] Daniel [01841] prospered [06744] in the reign [04437] of Darius [01868], and in the reign [04437] of Cyrus [03567] the Persian [06543]. 27 7 1 In the first [02298] year [08140] of Belshazzar [01113] king [04430] of Babylon [0895] Daniel [01841] had [02370] a dream [02493] and visions [02376] of his head [07217] upon [05922] his bed [04903]: then [0116] he wrote [03790] the dream [02493], and told [0560] the sum [07217] of the matters [04406]. 27 7 2 Daniel [01841] spake [06032] and said [0560], I saw [02370] [01934] in my vision [02376] by [05974] night [03916], and, behold [0718], the four [0703] winds [07308] of the heaven [08065] strove [01519] upon the great [07229] sea [03221]. 27 7 3 And four [0703] great [07260] beasts [02423] came up [05559] from [04481] the sea [03221], diverse [08133] one [01668] from [04481] another [01668]. 27 7 4 The first [06933] was like a lion [0744], and had eagle's [05403] wings [01611]: I beheld [01934] [02370] till [05705] the wings [01611] thereof were plucked [04804], and it was lifted up [05191] from [04481] the earth [0772], and made stand [06966] upon [05922] the feet [07271] as a man [0606], and a man's [0606] heart [03825] was given [03052] to it. 27 7 5 And behold [0718] another [0317] beast [02423], a second [08578], like [01821] to a bear [01678], and it raised up [06966] itself on one [02298] side [07859], and it had three [08532] ribs [05967] in the mouth [06433] of it between [0997] the teeth [08128] of it: and they said [0560] thus [03652] unto it, Arise [06966], devour [0399] much [07690] flesh [01321]. 27 7 6 After [0870] this [01836] I beheld [01934] [02370], and lo [0718] another [0317], like a leopard [05245], which had upon [05922] the back [01355] of it four [0703] wings [01611] of a fowl [05776]; the beast [02423] had also four [0703] heads [07217]; and dominion [07985] was given [03052] to it. 27 7 7 After [0870] this [01836] I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and behold [0718] a fourth [07244] beast [02423], dreadful [01763] and terrible [0574], and strong [08624] exceedingly [03493]; and it had great [07260] iron [06523] teeth [08128]: it devoured [0399] and brake in pieces [01855], and stamped [07512] the residue [07606] with the feet [07271] of it: and it [01932] was diverse [08133] from [04481] all [03606] the beasts [02423] that were before [06925] it; and it had ten [06236] horns [07162]. 27 7 8 I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260]. 27 7 9 I beheld [01934] [02370] till [05705] the thrones [03764] were cast down [07412], and the Ancient [06268] of days [03118] did sit [03488], whose garment [03831] was white [02358] as snow [08517], and the hair [08177] of his head [07217] like the pure [05343] wool [06015]: his throne [03764] was like the fiery [05135] flame [07631], and his wheels [01535] as burning [01815] fire [05135]. 27 7 10 A fiery [05135] stream [05103] issued [05047] and came forth [05312] from [04481] before [06925] him: thousand [0506] thousands [0506] ministered [08120] unto him, and ten thousand [07240] times ten thousand [07240] stood [06966] before [06925] him: the judgment [01780] was set [03488], and the books [05609] were opened [06606]. 27 7 11 I beheld [01934] [02370] then [0116] because [04481] of the voice [07032] of the great [07260] words [04406] which the horn [07162] spake [04449]: I beheld [01934] [02370] even till [05705] the beast [02423] was slain [06992], and his body [01655] destroyed [07], and given [03052] to the burning [03346] flame [0785]. 27 7 12 As concerning the rest [07606] of the beasts [02423], they had their dominion [07985] taken away [05709]: yet their lives [02417] were prolonged [03052] for [05705] a season [02166] and time [05732]. 27 7 13 I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and, behold [0718], one like the Son [01247] of man [0606] came [0858] with [05974] the clouds [06050] of heaven [08065], and came [04291] to [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118], and they brought him near [07127] before [06925] him. 27 7 14 And there was given [03052] him dominion [07985], and glory [03367], and a kingdom [04437], that all [03606] people [05972], nations [0524], and languages [03961], should serve [06399] him: his dominion [07985] is an everlasting [05957] dominion [07985], which shall not [03809] pass away [05709], and his kingdom [04437] that which shall not [03809] be destroyed [02255]. 27 7 15 I [0576] Daniel [01841] was grieved [03735] in my spirit [07308] in the midst [01459] of my body [05085], and the visions [02376] of my head [07217] troubled [0927] me. 27 7 16 I came near [07127] unto [05922] one [02298] of [04481] them that stood by [06966], and asked [01156] him [04481] the truth [03330] of all [03606] this [01836]. So he told [0560] me, and made me know [03046] the interpretation [06591] of the things [04406]. 27 7 17 These [0459] great [07260] beasts [02423], which [0581] are four [0703], are four [0703] kings [04430], which shall arise [06966] out of [04481] the earth [0772]. 27 7 18 But the saints [06922] of the most High [05946] shall take [06902] the kingdom [04437], and possess [02631] the kingdom [04437] for [05705] ever [05957], even for [05705] ever [05957] and ever [05957]. 27 7 19 Then [0116] I would [06634] know the truth [03321] of [05922] the fourth [07244] beast [02423], which was [01934] diverse [08133] from [04481] all [03606] the others, exceeding [03493] dreadful [01763], whose teeth [08128] were of iron [06523], and his nails [02953] of brass [05174]; which devoured [0399], brake in pieces [01855], and stamped [07512] the residue [07606] with his feet [07271]; 27 7 20 And of [05922] the ten [06236] horns [07162] that were in his head [07217], and of the other [0317] which came up [05559], and before [04481] [06925] whom three [08532] fell [05308]; even of that horn [07162] that [01797] had eyes [05870], and a mouth [06433] that spake [04449] very great things [07260], whose look [02376] was more [04481] stout [07229] than [04481] his fellows [02273]. 27 7 21 I beheld [01934] [02370], and the same [01797] horn [07162] made [05648] war [07129] with [05974] the saints [06922], and prevailed [03202] against them; 27 7 22 Until [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118] came [0858] [01768], and judgment [01780] was given [03052] to the saints [06922] of the most High [05946]; and the time [02166] came [04291] that the saints [06922] possessed [02631] the kingdom [04437]. 27 7 23 Thus [03652] he said [0560], The fourth [07244] beast [02423] shall be [01934] the fourth [07244] kingdom [04437] upon earth [0772], which shall be diverse [08133] from [04481] all [03606] kingdoms [04437], and shall devour [0399] the whole [03606] earth [0772], and shall tread it down [01759], and break it in pieces [01855]. 27 7 24 And the ten [06236] horns [07162] out of [04481] this kingdom [04437] are ten [06236] kings [04430] that shall arise [06966]: and another [0321] shall rise [06966] after [0311] them; and he shall be diverse [08133] from [04481] the first [06933], and he shall subdue [08214] three [08532] kings [04430]. 27 7 25 And he shall speak [04449] great words [04406] against [06655] the most High [05943], and shall wear out [01080] the saints [06922] of the most High [05946], and think [05452] to change [08133] times [02166] and laws [01882]: and they shall be given [03052] into his hand [03028] until [05705] a time [05732] and times [05732] and the dividing [06387] of time [05732]. 27 7 26 But the judgment [01780] shall sit [03488], and they shall take away [05709] his dominion [07985], to consume [08046] and to destroy [07] it unto [05705] the end [05491]. 27 7 27 And the kingdom [04437] and dominion [07985], and the greatness [07238] of the kingdom [04437] under [08460] the whole [03606] heaven [08065], shall be given [03052] to the people [05972] of the saints [06922] of the most High [05946], whose kingdom [04437] is an everlasting [05957] kingdom [04437], and all [03606] dominions [07985] shall serve [06399] and obey [08086] him. 27 7 28 Hitherto [05705] [03542] is the end [05491] of the matter [04406]. As for me [0576] Daniel [01841], my cogitations [07476] much [07690] troubled [0927] me, and my countenance [02122] changed [08133] in me [05922]: but I kept [05202] the matter [04406] in my heart [03821]. 27 8 1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of king [04428] Belshazzar [01112] a vision [02377] appeared [07200] unto me, even unto me Daniel [01840], after [0310] that which appeared [07200] unto me at the first [08462]. 27 8 2 And I saw [07200] in a vision [02377]; and it came to pass, when I saw [07200], that I was at Shushan [07800] in the palace [01002], which is in the province [04082] of Elam [05867]; and I saw [07200] in a vision [02377], and I was by the river [0180] of Ulai [0195]. 27 8 3 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and saw [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] before [06440] the river [0180] a [0259] ram [0352] which had two horns [07161]: and the two horns [07161] were high [01364]; but one [0259] was higher [01364] than the other [08145], and the higher [01364] came up [05927] last [0314]. 27 8 4 I saw [07200] the ram [0352] pushing [05055] westward [03220], and northward [06828], and southward [05045]; so that no beasts [02416] might stand [05975] before [06440] him, neither was there any that could deliver [05337] out of his hand [03027]; but he did [06213] according to his will [07522], and became great [01431]. 27 8 5 And as I was considering [0995], behold, an he [05795] goat [06842] came [0935] from the west [04628] on the face [06440] of the whole earth [0776], and touched [05060] not the ground [0776]: and the goat [06842] had a notable [02380] horn [07161] between his eyes [05869]. 27 8 6 And he came [0935] to the ram [0352] that had [01167] two horns [07161], which I had seen [07200] standing [05975] before [06440] the river [0180], and ran [07323] unto him in the fury [02534] of his power [03581]. 27 8 7 And I saw [07200] him come [05060] close unto [0681] the ram [0352], and he was moved with choler [04843] against him, and smote [05221] the ram [0352], and brake [07665] his two [08147] horns [07161]: and there was no power [03581] in the ram [0352] to stand [05975] before [06440] him, but he cast him down [07993] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon him: and there was none that could deliver [05337] the ram [0352] out of his hand [03027]. 27 8 8 Therefore the he [06842] goat [05795] waxed very [03966] great [01431]: and when he was strong [06105], the great [01419] horn [07161] was broken [07665]; and for it came up [05927] four [0702] notable ones [02380] toward the four [0702] winds [07307] of heaven [08064]. 27 8 9 And out of one [0259] of them came forth [03318] a little [04704] horn [07161], which waxed exceeding [03499] great [01431], toward the south [05045], and toward the east [04217], and toward the pleasant [06643] land. 27 8 10 And it waxed great [01431], even to the host [06635] of heaven [08064]; and it cast down [05307] some of the host [06635] and of the stars [03556] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon them. 27 8 11 Yea, he magnified [01431] himself even to the prince [08269] of the host [06635], and by him the daily [08548] sacrifice was taken away [07311] [07311], and the place [04349] of his sanctuary [04720] was cast down [07993]. 27 8 12 And an host [06635] was given [05414] him against the daily [08548] sacrifice by reason of transgression [06588], and it cast down [07993] the truth [0571] to the ground [0776]; and it practised [06213], and prospered [06743]. 27 8 13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]? 27 8 14 And he said [0559] unto me, Unto two thousand [0505] and three [07969] hundred [03967] days [06153] [01242]; then shall the sanctuary [06944] be cleansed [06663]. 27 8 15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel [01840], had seen [07200] the vision [02377], and sought [01245] for the meaning [0998], then, behold, there stood [05975] before me as the appearance [04758] of a man [01397]. 27 8 16 And I heard [08085] a man's [0120] voice [06963] between the banks of Ulai [0195], which called [07121], and said [0559], Gabriel [01403], make this [01975] man to understand [0995] the vision [04758]. 27 8 17 So he came [0935] near [0681] where I stood [05977]: and when he came [0935], I was afraid [01204], and fell [05307] upon my face [06440]: but he said [0559] unto me, Understand [0995], O son [01121] of man [0120]: for at the time [06256] of the end [07093] shall be the vision [02377]. 27 8 18 Now as he was speaking [01696] with me, I was in a deep sleep [07290] on my face [06440] toward the ground [0776]: but he touched [05060] me, and set [05975] me upright [05977]. 27 8 19 And he said [0559], Behold, I will make thee know [03045] what shall be in the last end [0319] of the indignation [02195]: for at the time appointed [04150] the end [07093] shall be. 27 8 20 The ram [0352] which thou sawest [07200] having [01167] two horns [07161] are the kings [04428] of Media [04074] and Persia [06539]. 27 8 21 And the rough [08163] goat [06842] is the king [04428] of Grecia [03120]: and the great [01419] horn [07161] that is between his eyes [05869] is the first [07223] king [04428]. 27 8 22 Now that being broken [07665], whereas four [0702] stood up [05975] for it, four [0702] kingdoms [04438] shall stand up [05975] out of the nation [01471], but not in his power [03581]. 27 8 23 And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975]. 27 8 24 And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971]. 27 8 25 And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027]. 27 8 26 And the vision [04758] of the evening [06153] and the morning [01242] which was told [0559] is true [0571]: wherefore shut thou up [05640] the vision [02377]; for it shall be for many [07227] days [03117]. 27 8 27 And I Daniel [01840] fainted [01961], and was sick [02470] certain days [03117]; afterward I rose up [06965], and did [06213] the king's [04428] business [04399]; and I was astonished [08074] at the vision [04758], but none understood [0995] it. 27 9 1 In the first [0259] year [08141] of Darius [01867] the son [01121] of Ahasuerus [0325], of the seed [02233] of the Medes [04074], which was made king [04427] over the realm [04438] of the Chaldeans [03778]; 27 9 2 In the first [0259] year [08141] of his reign [04427] I Daniel [01840] understood [0995] by books [05612] the number [04557] of the years [08141], whereof the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came to Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], that he would accomplish [04390] seventy [07657] years [08141] in the desolations [02723] of Jerusalem [03389]. 27 9 3 And I set [05414] my face [06440] unto the Lord [0136] God [0430], to seek [01245] by prayer [08605] and supplications [08469], with fasting [06685], and sackcloth [08242], and ashes [0665]: 27 9 4 And I prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068] my God [0430], and made my confession [03034], and said [0559], O [0577] Lord [0136], the great [01419] and dreadful [03372] God [0410], keeping [08104] the covenant [01285] and mercy [02617] to them that love [0157] him, and to them that keep [08104] his commandments [04687]; 27 9 5 We have sinned [02398], and have committed iniquity [05753], and have done wickedly [07561], and have rebelled [04775], even by departing [05493] from thy precepts [04687] and from thy judgments [04941]: 27 9 6 Neither have we hearkened [08085] unto thy servants [05650] the prophets [05030], which spake [01696] in thy name [08034] to our kings [04428], our princes [08269], and our fathers [01], and to all the people [05971] of the land [0776]. 27 9 7 O Lord [0136], righteousness [06666] belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion [01322] of faces [06440], as at this day [03117]; to the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and unto all Israel [03478], that are near [07138], and that are far off [07350], through all the countries [0776] whither thou hast driven [05080] them, because of their trespass [04604] that they have trespassed [04603] against thee. 27 9 8 O Lord [0136], to us belongeth confusion [01322] of face [06440], to our kings [04428], to our princes [08269], and to our fathers [01], because we have sinned [02398] against thee. 27 9 9 To the Lord [0136] our God [0430] belong mercies [07356] and forgivenesses [05547], though we have rebelled [04775] against him; 27 9 10 Neither have we obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], to walk [03212] in his laws [08451], which he set [05414] before [06440] us by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. 27 9 11 Yea, all Israel [03478] have transgressed [05674] thy law [08451], even by departing [05493], that they might not obey [08085] thy voice [06963]; therefore the curse [0423] is poured [05413] upon us, and the oath [07621] that is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of God [0430], because we have sinned [02398] against him. 27 9 12 And he hath confirmed [06965] his words [01697], which he spake [01696] against us, and against our judges [08199] that judged [08199] us, by bringing [0935] upon us a great [01419] evil [07451]: for under the whole heaven [08064] hath not been done [06213] as hath been done [06213] upon Jerusalem [03389]. 27 9 13 As it is written [03789] in the law [08451] of Moses [04872], all this evil [07451] is come [0935] upon us: yet made we not our prayer [02470] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], that we might turn [07725] from our iniquities [05771], and understand [07919] thy truth [0571]. 27 9 14 Therefore hath the LORD [03068] watched [08245] upon the evil [07451], and brought [0935] it upon us: for the LORD [03068] our God [0430] is righteous [06662] in all his works [04639] which he doeth [06213]: for we obeyed [08085] not his voice [06963]. 27 9 15 And now, O Lord [0136] our God [0430], that hast brought [03318] thy people [05971] forth [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] with a mighty [02389] hand [03027], and hast gotten [06213] thee renown [08034], as at this day [03117]; we have sinned [02398], we have done wickedly [07561]. 27 9 16 O Lord [0136], according to all thy righteousness [06666], I beseech thee, let thine anger [0639] and thy fury [02534] be turned away [07725] from thy city [05892] Jerusalem [03389], thy holy [06944] mountain [02022]: because for our sins [02399], and for the iniquities [05771] of our fathers [01], Jerusalem [03389] and thy people [05971] are become a reproach [02781] to all that are about [05439] us. 27 9 17 Now therefore, O our God [0430], hear [08085] the prayer [08605] of thy servant [05650], and his supplications [08469], and cause thy face [06440] to shine [0215] upon thy sanctuary [04720] that is desolate [08076], for the Lord's [0136] sake. 27 9 18 O my God [0430], incline [05186] thine ear [0241], and hear [08085]; open [06491] thine eyes [05869], and behold [07200] our desolations [08074], and the city [05892] which is called [07121] by thy name [08034]: for we do not present [05307] our supplications [08469] before [06440] thee for our righteousnesses [06666], but for thy great [07227] mercies [07356]. 27 9 19 O Lord [0136], hear [08085]; O Lord [0136], forgive [05545]; O Lord [0136], hearken [07181] and do [06213]; defer [0309] not [0408], for thine own sake, O my God [0430]: for thy city [05892] and thy people [05971] are called [07121] by thy name [08034]. 27 9 20 And whiles I was speaking [01696], and praying [06419], and confessing [03034] my sin [02403] and the sin [02403] of my people [05971] Israel [03478], and presenting [05307] my supplication [08467] before [06440] the LORD [03068] my God [0430] for the holy [06944] mountain [02022] of my God [0430]; 27 9 21 Yea, whiles I was speaking [01696] in prayer [08605], even the man [0376] Gabriel [01403], whom I had seen [07200] in the vision [02377] at the beginning [08462], being caused to fly [03286] swiftly [03288], touched [05060] me about the time [06256] of the evening [06153] oblation [04503]. 27 9 22 And he informed [0995] me, and talked [01696] with me, and said [0559], O Daniel [01840], I am now come forth [03318] to give thee skill [07919] and understanding [0998]. 27 9 23 At the beginning [08462] of thy supplications [08469] the commandment [01697] came forth [03318], and I am come [0935] to shew [05046] thee; for thou art greatly beloved [02532]: therefore understand [0995] the matter [01697], and consider [0995] the vision [04758]. 27 9 24 Seventy [07657] weeks [07620] are determined [02852] upon thy people [05971] and upon thy holy [06944] city [05892], to finish [03607] the transgression [06588], and to make an end [08552] [02856] of sins [02403], and to make reconciliation [03722] for iniquity [05771], and to bring in [0935] everlasting [05769] righteousness [06664], and to seal up [02856] the vision [02377] and prophecy [05030], and to anoint [04886] the most [06944] Holy [06944]. 27 9 25 Know [03045] therefore and understand [07919], that from the going forth [04161] of the commandment [01697] to restore [07725] and to build [01129] Jerusalem [03389] unto the Messiah [04899] the Prince [05057] shall be seven [07651] weeks [07620], and threescore [08346] and two [08147] weeks [07620]: the street [07339] shall be built [01129] again [07725], and the wall [02742], even in troublous [06695] times [06256]. 27 9 26 And after [0310] threescore [08346] and two [08147] weeks [07620] shall Messiah [04899] be cut off [03772], but not for himself: and the people [05971] of the prince [05057] that shall come [0935] shall destroy [07843] the city [05892] and the sanctuary [06944]; and the end [07093] thereof shall be with a flood [07858], and unto the end [07093] of the war [04421] desolations [08074] are determined [02782]. 27 9 27 And he shall confirm [01396] the covenant [01285] with many [07227] for one [0259] week [07620]: and in the midst [02677] of the week [07620] he shall cause the sacrifice [02077] and the oblation [04503] to cease [07673], and for the overspreading [03671] of abominations [08251] he shall make it desolate [08074], even until the consummation [03617], and that determined [02782] shall be poured [05413] upon the desolate [08074]. 27 10 1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of Cyrus [03566] king [04428] of Persia [06539] a thing [01697] was revealed [01540] unto Daniel [01840], whose name [08034] was called [07121] Belteshazzar [01095]; and the thing [01697] was true [0571], but the time appointed [06635] was long [01419]: and he understood [0995] the thing [01697], and had understanding [0998] of the vision [04758]. 27 10 2 In those days [03117] I Daniel [01840] was mourning [056] three [07969] full [03117] weeks [07620]. 27 10 3 I ate [0398] no pleasant [02532] bread [03899], neither came [0935] flesh [01320] nor wine [03196] in my mouth [06310], neither did I anoint [05480] myself at all [05480], till three [07969] whole [03117] weeks [07620] were fulfilled [04390]. 27 10 4 And in the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the first [07223] month [02320], as I was by the side [03027] of the great [01419] river [05104], which is Hiddekel [02313]; 27 10 5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]: 27 10 6 His body [01472] also was like the beryl [08658], and his face [06440] as the appearance [04758] of lightning [01300], and his eyes [05869] as lamps [03940] of fire [0784], and his arms [02220] and his feet [04772] like in colour [05869] to polished [07044] brass [05178], and the voice [06963] of his words [01697] like the voice [06963] of a multitude [01995]. 27 10 7 And I Daniel [01840] alone saw [07200] the vision [04759]: for the men [0582] that were with me saw [07200] not the vision [04759]; but [061] a great [01419] quaking [02731] fell [05307] upon them, so that they fled [01272] to hide [02244] themselves. 27 10 8 Therefore I was left alone [07604], and saw [07200] this great [01419] vision [04759], and there remained [07604] no strength [03581] in me: for my comeliness [01935] was turned [02015] in me into corruption [04889], and I retained [06113] no strength [03581]. 27 10 9 Yet heard [08085] I the voice [06963] of his words [01697]: and when I heard [08085] the voice [06963] of his words [01697], then was I in a deep sleep [07290] on my face [06440], and my face [06440] toward the ground [0776]. 27 10 10 And, behold, an hand [03027] touched [05060] me, which set [05128] me upon my knees [01290] and upon the palms [03709] of my hands [03027]. 27 10 11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460]. 27 10 12 Then said [0559] he unto me, Fear [03372] not, Daniel [01840]: for from the first [07223] day [03117] that thou didst set [05414] thine heart [03820] to understand [0995], and to chasten [06031] thyself before [06440] thy God [0430], thy words [01697] were heard [08085], and I am come [0935] for thy words [01697]. 27 10 13 But the prince [08269] of the kingdom [04438] of Persia [06539] withstood [05975] me one [0259] and twenty [06242] days [03117]: but, lo, Michael [04317], one [0259] of the chief [07223] princes [08269], came [0935] to help [05826] me; and I remained [03498] there with [0681] the kings [04428] of Persia [06539]. 27 10 14 Now I am come [0935] to make thee understand [0995] what shall befall [07136] thy people [05971] in the latter [0319] days [03117]: for yet the vision [02377] is for many days [03117]. 27 10 15 And when he had spoken [01696] such words [01697] unto me, I set [05414] my face [06440] toward the ground [0776], and I became dumb [0481]. 27 10 16 And, behold, one like the similitude [01823] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] touched [05060] my lips [08193]: then I opened [06605] my mouth [06310], and spake [01696], and said [0559] unto him that stood [05975] before me, O my lord [0113], by the vision [04759] my sorrows [06735] are turned [02015] upon me, and I have retained [06113] no strength [03581]. 27 10 17 For how [01963] can [03201] the servant [05650] of this my lord [0113] talk [01696] with this my lord [0113]? for as for me, straightway [06258] there remained [05975] no strength [03581] in me, neither is there breath [05397] left [07604] in me. 27 10 18 Then there came again [03254] and touched [05060] me one like the appearance [04758] of a man [0120], and he strengthened [02388] me, 27 10 19 And said [0559], O man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], fear [03372] not: peace [07965] be unto thee, be strong [02388], yea, be strong [02388]. And when he had spoken [01696] unto me, I was strengthened [02388], and said [0559], Let my lord [0113] speak [01696]; for thou hast strengthened [02388] me. 27 10 20 Then said [0559] he, Knowest [03045] thou wherefore I come [0935] unto thee? and now will I return [07725] to fight [03898] with the prince [08269] of Persia [06539]: and when I am gone forth [03318], lo, the prince [08269] of Grecia [03120] shall come [0935]. 27 10 21 But [061] I will shew [05046] thee that which is noted [07559] in the scripture [03791] of truth [0571]: and there is none [0259] that holdeth [02388] with me in these things, but Michael [04317] your prince [08269]. 27 11 1 Also I in the first [0259] year [08141] of Darius [01867] the Mede [04075], even I, stood [05977] to confirm [02388] and to strengthen [04581] him. 27 11 2 And now will I shew [05046] thee the truth [0571]. Behold, there shall stand up [05975] yet three [07969] kings [04428] in Persia [06539]; and the fourth [07243] shall be far [06239] richer [06238] than they all [01419]: and by his strength [02393] through his riches [06239] he shall stir up [05782] all against the realm [04438] of Grecia [03120]. 27 11 3 And a mighty [01368] king [04428] shall stand up [05975], that shall rule [04910] with great [07227] dominion [04474], and do [06213] according to his will [07522]. 27 11 4 And when he shall stand up [05975], his kingdom [04438] shall be broken [07665], and shall be divided [02673] toward the four [0702] winds [07307] of heaven [08064]; and not to his posterity [0319], nor according to his dominion [04915] which he ruled [04910]: for his kingdom [04438] shall be plucked up [05428], even for others [0312] beside those. 27 11 5 And the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be strong [02388], and one of his princes [08269]; and he shall be strong [02388] above him, and have dominion [04910]; his dominion [04475] shall be a great [07227] dominion [04474]. 27 11 6 And in the end [07093] of years [08141] they shall join themselves together [02266]; for the king's [04428] daughter [01323] of the south [05045] shall come [0935] to the king [04428] of the north [06828] to make [06213] an agreement [04339]: but she shall not retain [06113] the power [03581] of the arm [02220]; neither shall he stand [05975], nor his arm [02220]: but she shall be given up [05414], and they that brought [0935] her, and he that begat [03205] her, and he that strengthened [02388] her in these times [06256]. 27 11 7 But out of a branch [05342] of her roots [08328] shall one stand up [05975] in his estate [03653], which shall come [0935] with an army [02428], and shall enter [0935] into the fortress [04581] of the king [04428] of the north [06828], and shall deal [06213] against them, and shall prevail [02388]: 27 11 8 And shall also carry [0935] captives [07628] into Egypt [04714] their gods [0430], with their princes [05257], and with their precious [02532] vessels [03627] of silver [03701] and of gold [02091]; and he shall continue [05975] more years [08141] than the king [04428] of the north [06828]. 27 11 9 So the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall come [0935] into his kingdom [04438], and shall return [07725] into his own land [0127]. 27 11 10 But his sons [01121] shall be stirred up [01624], and shall assemble [0622] a multitude [01995] of great [07227] forces [02428]: and one shall certainly [0935] come [0935], and overflow [07857], and pass through [05674]: then shall he return [07725], and be stirred up [01624], even to his fortress [04581]. 27 11 11 And the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be moved with choler [04843], and shall come forth [03318] and fight [03898] with him, even with the king [04428] of the north [06828]: and he shall set forth [05975] a great [07227] multitude [01995]; but the multitude [01995] shall be given [05414] into his hand [03027]. 27 11 12 And when he hath taken away [05375] the multitude [01995], his heart [03824] shall be lifted up [07311] [07311]; and he shall cast down [05307] many ten thousands [07239]: but he shall not be strengthened [05810] by it. 27 11 13 For the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall return [07725], and shall set forth [05975] a multitude [01995] greater [07227] than the former [07223], and shall certainly [0935] come [0935] after [07093] certain [06256] years [08141] with a great [01419] army [02428] and with much [07227] riches [07399]. 27 11 14 And in those times [06256] there shall many [07227] stand up [05975] against the king [04428] of the south [05045]: also the robbers [01121] [06530] of thy people [05971] shall exalt [05375] themselves to establish [05975] the vision [02377]; but they shall fall [03782]. 27 11 15 So the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall come [0935], and cast up [08210] a mount [05550], and take [03920] the most fenced [04013] cities [05892]: and the arms [02220] of the south [05045] shall not withstand [05975], neither his chosen [04005] people [05971], neither shall there be any strength [03581] to withstand [05975]. 27 11 16 But he that cometh [0935] against him shall do [06213] according to his own will [07522], and none shall stand [05975] before [06440] him: and he shall stand [05975] in the glorious [06643] land [0776], which by his hand [03027] shall be consumed [03617]. 27 11 17 He shall also set [07760] his face [06440] to enter [0935] with the strength [08633] of his whole kingdom [04438], and upright ones [03477] with him; thus shall he do [06213]: and he shall give [05414] him the daughter [01323] of women [0802], corrupting [07843] her: but she shall not stand [05975] on his side, neither be for him. 27 11 18 After this shall he turn [07760] [07725] his face [06440] unto the isles [0339], and shall take [03920] many [07227]: but a prince [07101] for his own behalf shall cause the reproach [02781] offered by him to cease [07673]; without [01115] his own reproach [02781] he shall cause it to turn [07725] upon him. 27 11 19 Then he shall turn [07725] his face [06440] toward the fort [04581] of his own land [0776]: but he shall stumble [03782] and fall [05307], and not be found [04672]. 27 11 20 Then shall stand up [05975] in his estate [03653] a raiser [05674] of taxes [05065] in the glory [01925] of the kingdom [04438]: but within few [0259] days [03117] he shall be destroyed [07665], neither in anger [0639], nor in battle [04421]. 27 11 21 And in his estate [03653] shall stand up [05975] a vile person [0959], to whom they shall not give [05414] the honour [01935] of the kingdom [04438]: but he shall come [0935] in peaceably [07962], and obtain [02388] the kingdom [04438] by flatteries [02519]. 27 11 22 And with the arms [02220] of a flood [07858] shall they be overflown [07857] from before [06440] him, and shall be broken [07665]; yea, also the prince [05057] of the covenant [01285]. 27 11 23 And after the league [02266] made with him he shall work [06213] deceitfully [04820]: for he shall come up [05927], and shall become strong [06105] with a small [04592] people [01471]. 27 11 24 He shall enter [0935] peaceably [07962] even upon the fattest places [04924] of the province [04082]; and he shall do [06213] that which his fathers [01] have not done [06213], nor his fathers [01]' fathers [01]; he shall scatter [0967] among them the prey [0961], and spoil [07998], and riches [07399]: yea, and he shall forecast [02803] his devices [04284] against the strong holds [04013], even for a time [06256]. 27 11 25 And he shall stir up [05782] his power [03581] and his courage [03824] against the king [04428] of the south [05045] with a great [01419] army [02428]; and the king [04428] of the south [05045] shall be stirred up [01624] to battle [04421] with a very [03966] great [01419] and mighty [06099] army [02428]; but he shall not stand [05975]: for they shall forecast [02803] devices [04284] against him. 27 11 26 Yea, they that feed [0398] of the portion of his meat [06598] shall destroy [07665] him, and his army [02428] shall overflow [07857]: and many [07227] shall fall [05307] down slain [02491]. 27 11 27 And both [08147] these kings [04428]' hearts [03824] shall be to do mischief [04827] [07451], and they shall speak [01696] lies [03577] at one [0259] table [07979]; but it shall not prosper [06743]: for yet the end [07093] shall be at the time appointed [04150]. 27 11 28 Then shall he return [07725] into his land [0776] with great [01419] riches [07399]; and his heart [03824] shall be against the holy [06944] covenant [01285]; and he shall do [06213] exploits, and return [07725] to his own land [0776]. 27 11 29 At the time appointed [04150] he shall return [07725], and come [0935] toward the south [05045]; but it shall not be as the former [07223], or as the latter [0314]. 27 11 30 For the ships [06716] of Chittim [03794] shall come [0935] against him: therefore he shall be grieved [03512], and return [07725], and have indignation [02194] against the holy [06944] covenant [01285]: so shall he do [06213]; he shall even return [07725], and have intelligence [0995] with them that forsake [05800] the holy [06944] covenant [01285]. 27 11 31 And arms [02220] shall stand [05975] on his part, and they shall pollute [02490] the sanctuary [04720] of strength [04581], and shall take away [05493] the daily [08548] sacrifice, and they shall place [05414] the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074]. 27 11 32 And such as do wickedly [07561] against the covenant [01285] shall he corrupt [02610] by flatteries [02514]: but the people [05971] that do know [03045] their God [0430] shall be strong [02388], and do [06213] exploits. 27 11 33 And they that understand [07919] among the people [05971] shall instruct [0995] many [07227]: yet they shall fall [03782] by the sword [02719], and by flame [03852], by captivity [07628], and by spoil [0961], many days [03117]. 27 11 34 Now when they shall fall [03782], they shall be holpen [05826] with a little [04592] help [05828]: but many [07227] shall cleave [03867] to them with flatteries [02519]. 27 11 35 And some of them of understanding [07919] shall fall [03782], to try [06884] them, and to purge [01305], and to make them white [03835], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: because it is yet for a time appointed [04150]. 27 11 36 And the king [04428] shall do [06213] according to his will [07522]; and he shall exalt [07311] himself, and magnify [01431] himself above every god [0410], and shall speak [01696] marvellous things [06381] against the God [0410] of gods [0410], and shall prosper [06743] till the indignation [02195] be accomplished [03615]: for that that is determined [02782] shall be done [06213]. 27 11 37 Neither shall he regard [0995] the God [0430] of his fathers [01], nor the desire [02532] of women [0802], nor regard [0995] any god [0433]: for he shall magnify [01431] himself above all. 27 11 38 But in his estate [03653] shall he honour [03513] the God [0433] of forces [04581]: and a god [0433] whom his fathers [01] knew [03045] not shall he honour [03513] with gold [02091], and silver [03701], and with precious [03368] stones [068], and pleasant things [02532]. 27 11 39 Thus shall he do [06213] in the most strong [04581] holds [04013] with a strange [05236] god [0433], whom he shall acknowledge [05234] [05234] and increase [07235] with glory [03519]: and he shall cause them to rule [04910] over many [07227], and shall divide [02505] the land [0127] for gain [04242]. 27 11 40 And at the time [06256] of the end [07093] shall the king [04428] of the south [05045] push [05055] at him: and the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall come against him like a whirlwind [08175], with chariots [07393], and with horsemen [06571], and with many [07227] ships [0591]; and he shall enter [0935] into the countries [0776], and shall overflow [07857] and pass over [05674]. 27 11 41 He shall enter [0935] also into the glorious [06643] land [0776], and many [07227] countries shall be overthrown [03782]: but these shall escape [04422] out of his hand [03027], even Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the chief [07225] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983]. 27 11 42 He shall stretch forth [07971] his hand [03027] also upon the countries [0776]: and the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall not escape [06413]. 27 11 43 But he shall have power [04910] over the treasures [04362] of gold [02091] and of silver [03701], and over all the precious [02532] things of Egypt [04714]: and the Libyans [03864] and the Ethiopians [03569] shall be at his steps [04703]. 27 11 44 But tidings [08052] out of the east [04217] and out of the north [06828] shall trouble [0926] him: therefore he shall go forth [03318] with great [01419] fury [02534] to destroy [08045], and utterly to make away [02763] many [07227]. 27 11 45 And he shall plant [05193] the tabernacles [0168] of his palace [0643] between the seas [03220] in the glorious [06643] holy [06944] mountain [02022]; yet he shall come [0935] to his end [07093], and none shall help [05826] him. 27 12 1 And at that time [06256] shall Michael [04317] stand up [05975], the great [01419] prince [08269] which standeth [05975] for the children [01121] of thy people [05971]: and there shall be [01961] a time [06256] of trouble [06869], such as never was since there was a nation [01471] even to that same time [06256]: and at that time [06256] thy people [05971] shall be delivered [04422], every one that shall be found [04672] written [03789] in the book [05612]. 27 12 2 And many [07227] of them that sleep [03463] in the dust [06083] of the earth [0127] shall awake [06974], some to everlasting [05769] life [02416], and some to shame [02781] and everlasting [05769] contempt [01860]. 27 12 3 And they that be wise [07919] shall shine [02094] as the brightness [02096] of the firmament [07549]; and they that turn many [07227] to righteousness [06663] as the stars [03556] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 27 12 4 But thou, O Daniel [01840], shut up [05640] the words [01697], and seal [02856] the book [05612], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: many [07227] shall run to and fro [07751], and knowledge [01847] shall be increased [07235]. 27 12 5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975]. 27 12 6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]? 27 12 7 And I heard [08085] the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], when he held up [07311] his right hand [03225] and his left hand [08040] unto heaven [08064], and sware [07650] by him that liveth [02416] for ever [05769] that it shall be for a time [04150], times [04150], and an half [02677]; and when he shall have accomplished [03615] to scatter [05310] the power [03027] of the holy [06944] people [05971], all these things shall be finished [03615]. 27 12 8 And I heard [08085], but I understood [0995] not: then said [0559] I, O my Lord [0113], what shall be the end [0319] of these things? 27 12 9 And he said [0559], Go thy way [03212], Daniel [01840]: for the words [01697] are closed up [05640] and sealed [02856] till the time [06256] of the end [07093]. 27 12 10 Many [07227] shall be purified [01305], and made white [03835], and tried [06884]; but the wicked [07563] shall do wickedly [07561]: and none of the wicked [07563] shall understand [0995]; but the wise [07919] shall understand [0995]. 27 12 11 And from the time [06256] that the daily [08548] sacrifice shall be taken away [05493], and the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074] set up [05414], there shall be a thousand [0505] two hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117]. 27 12 12 Blessed [0835] is he that waiteth [02442], and cometh [05060] to the thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and five [02568] and thirty [07970] days [03117]. 27 12 13 But go thou thy way [03212] till the end [07093] be: for thou shalt rest [05117], and stand [05975] in thy lot [01486] at the end [07093] of the days [03117]. 28 1 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came unto Hosea [01954], the son [01121] of Beeri [0882], in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818], Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063], and in the days [03117] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Joash [03101], king [04428] of Israel [03478]. 28 1 2 The beginning [08462] of the word [01696] of the LORD [03068] by Hosea [01954]. And the LORD [03068] said [0559] to Hosea [01954], Go [03212], take [03947] unto thee a wife [0802] of whoredoms [02183] and children [03206] of whoredoms [02183]: for the land [0776] hath committed great [02181] whoredom [02181], departing from [0310] the LORD [03068]. 28 1 3 So he went [03212] and took [03947] Gomer [01586] the daughter [01323] of Diblaim [01691]; which conceived [02029], and bare [03205] him a son [01121]. 28 1 4 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto him, Call [07121] his name [08034] Jezreel [03157]; for yet a little [04592] while, and I will avenge [06485] the blood [01818] of Jezreel [03157] upon the house [01004] of Jehu [03058], and will cause to cease [07673] the kingdom [04468] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 28 1 5 And it shall come to pass at that day [03117], that I will break [07665] the bow [07198] of Israel [03478] in the valley [06010] of Jezreel [03157]. 28 1 6 And she conceived again [02029], and bare [03205] a daughter [01323]. And God said [0559] unto him, Call [07121] her name [08034] Loruhamah [03819]: for I will no more [03254] have mercy [07355] upon the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; but I will utterly [05375] take them away [05375]. 28 1 7 But I will have mercy [07355] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will save [03467] them by the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and will not save [03467] them by bow [07198], nor by sword [02719], nor by battle [04421], by horses [05483], nor by horsemen [06571]. 28 1 8 Now when she had weaned [01580] Loruhamah [03819], she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] a son [01121]. 28 1 9 Then said [0559] God, Call [07121] his name [08034] Loammi [03818]: for ye are not my people [05971], and I will not be your God. 28 1 10 Yet the number [04557] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall be as the sand [02344] of the sea [03220], which cannot be measured [04058] nor numbered [05608]; and it shall come to pass, that in the place [04725] where it was said [0559] unto them, Ye are not my people [05971], there it shall be said [0559] unto them, Ye are the sons [01121] of the living [02416] God [0410]. 28 1 11 Then shall the children [01121] of Judah [03063] and the children [01121] of Israel [03478] be gathered [06908] together [03162], and appoint [07760] themselves one [0259] head [07218], and they shall come up [05927] out of the land [0776]: for great [01419] shall be the day [03117] of Jezreel [03157]. 28 2 1 Say [0559] ye unto your brethren [0251], Ammi [05971]; and to your sisters [0269], Ruhamah [07355]. 28 2 2 Plead [07378] with your mother [0517], plead [07378]: for she is not my wife [0802], neither am I her husband [0376]: let her therefore put away [05493] her whoredoms [02183] out of her sight [06440], and her adulteries [05005] from between her breasts [07699]; 28 2 3 Lest I strip [06584] her naked [06174], and set [03322] her as in the day [03117] that she was born [03205], and make [07760] her as a wilderness [04057], and set [07896] her like a dry [06723] land [0776], and slay [04191] her with thirst [06772]. 28 2 4 And I will not have mercy [07355] upon her children [01121]; for they be the children [01121] of whoredoms [02183]. 28 2 5 For their mother [0517] hath played the harlot [02181]: she that conceived [02029] them hath done shamefully [03001]: for she said [0559], I will go [03212] after [0310] my lovers [0157], that give [05414] me my bread [03899] and my water [04325], my wool [06785] and my flax [06593], mine oil [08081] and my drink [08250]. 28 2 6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge [07753] up thy way [01870] with thorns [05518], and make [01443] a wall [01447], that she shall not find [04672] her paths [05410]. 28 2 7 And she shall follow [07291] after her lovers [0157], but she shall not overtake [05381] them; and she shall seek [01245] them, but shall not find [04672] them: then shall she say [0559], I will go [03212] and return [07725] to my first [07223] husband [0376]; for then was it better [02896] with me than now [06258]. 28 2 8 For she did not know [03045] that I gave [05414] her corn [01715], and wine [08492], and oil [03323], and multiplied [07235] her silver [03701] and gold [02091], which they prepared [06213] for Baal [01168]. 28 2 9 Therefore will I return [07725], and take away [03947] my corn [01715] in the time [06256] thereof, and my wine [08492] in the season [04150] thereof, and will recover [05337] my wool [06785] and my flax [06593] given to cover [03680] her nakedness [06172]. 28 2 10 And now will I discover [01540] her lewdness [05040] in the sight [05869] of her lovers [0157], and none [0376] shall deliver [05337] her out of mine hand [03027]. 28 2 11 I will also cause all her mirth [04885] to cease [07673], her feast days [02282], her new moons [02320], and her sabbaths [07676], and all her solemn feasts [04150]. 28 2 12 And I will destroy [08074] her vines [01612] and her fig trees [08384], whereof she hath said [0559], These are my rewards [0866] that my lovers [0157] have given [05414] me: and I will make [07760] them a forest [03293], and the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] shall eat [0398] them. 28 2 13 And I will visit [06485] upon her the days [03117] of Baalim [01168], wherein she burned incense [06999] to them, and she decked [05710] herself with her earrings [05141] and her jewels [02484], and she went [03212] after [0310] her lovers [0157], and forgat [07911] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 28 2 14 Therefore, behold, I will allure [06601] her, and bring [03212] her into the wilderness [04057], and speak [01696] comfortably [03820] unto her. 28 2 15 And I will give [05414] her her vineyards [03754] from thence, and the valley [06010] of Achor [05911] for a door [06607] of hope [08615]: and she shall sing [06030] there, as in the days [03117] of her youth [05271], and as in the day [03117] when she came up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 28 2 16 And it shall be at that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that thou shalt call [07121] me Ishi [0376]; and shalt call [07121] me no more Baali [01180]. 28 2 17 For I will take away [05493] the names [08034] of Baalim [01168] out of her mouth [06310], and they shall no more be remembered [02142] by their name [08034]. 28 2 18 And in that day [03117] will I make [03772] a covenant [01285] for them with the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], and with the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064], and with the creeping things [07431] of the ground [0127]: and I will break [07665] the bow [07198] and the sword [02719] and the battle [04421] out of the earth [0776], and will make them to lie down [07901] safely [0983]. 28 2 19 And I will betroth [0781] thee unto me for ever [05769]; yea, I will betroth [0781] thee unto me in righteousness [06664], and in judgment [04941], and in lovingkindness [02617], and in mercies [07356]. 28 2 20 I will even betroth [0781] thee unto me in faithfulness [0530]: and thou shalt know [03045] the LORD [03068]. 28 2 21 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], I will hear [06030], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will hear [06030] the heavens [08064], and they shall hear [06030] the earth [0776]; 28 2 22 And the earth [0776] shall hear [06030] the corn [01715], and the wine [08492], and the oil [03323]; and they shall hear [06030] Jezreel [03157]. 28 2 23 And I will sow [02232] her unto me in the earth [0776]; and I will have mercy [07355] upon her that had not obtained mercy [07355] [03818]; and I will say [0559] to them which were not my people [05971], Thou art my people [05971]; and they shall say [0559], Thou art my God [0430]. 28 3 1 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Go [03212] yet, love [0157] a woman [0802] beloved [0157] of her friend [07453], yet an adulteress [05003], according to the love [0160] of the LORD [03068] toward the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who look [06437] to other [0312] gods [0430], and love [0157] flagons [0809] of wine [06025]. 28 3 2 So I bought [03739] her to me for fifteen [06240] [02568] pieces of silver [03701], and for an homer [02563] of barley [08184], and an half homer [03963] of barley [08184]: 28 3 3 And I said [0559] unto her, Thou shalt abide [03427] for me many [07227] days [03117]; thou shalt not play the harlot [02181], and thou shalt not be [01961] for another man [0376]: so will I also be for thee. 28 3 4 For the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall abide [03427] many [07227] days [03117] without a king [04428], and without a prince [08269], and without a sacrifice [02077], and without an image [04676], and without an ephod [0646], and without teraphim [08655]: 28 3 5 Afterward [0310] shall the children [01121] of Israel [03478] return [07725], and seek [01245] the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and David [01732] their king [04428]; and shall fear [06342] the LORD [03068] and his goodness [02898] in the latter [0319] days [03117]. 28 4 1 Hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye children [01121] of Israel [03478]: for the LORD [03068] hath a controversy [07379] with the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], because there is no truth [0571], nor mercy [02617], nor knowledge [01847] of God [0430] in the land [0776]. 28 4 2 By swearing [0422], and lying [03584], and killing [07523], and stealing [01589], and committing adultery [05003], they break out [06555], and blood [01818] toucheth [05060] blood [01818]. 28 4 3 Therefore shall the land [0776] mourn [056], and every one that dwelleth [03427] therein shall languish [0535], with the beasts [02416] of the field [07704], and with the fowls [05775] of heaven [08064]; yea, the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220] also shall be taken away [0622]. 28 4 4 Yet let no man [0376] strive [07378], nor reprove [03198] another [0376]: for thy people [05971] are as they that strive [07378] with the priest [03548]. 28 4 5 Therefore shalt thou fall [03782] in the day [03117], and the prophet [05030] also shall fall [03782] with thee in the night [03915], and I will destroy [01820] thy mother [0517]. 28 4 6 My people [05971] are destroyed [01820] for lack of knowledge [01847]: because thou hast rejected [03988] knowledge [01847], I will also reject [03988] thee, that thou shalt be no priest [03547] to me: seeing thou hast forgotten [07911] the law [08451] of thy God [0430], I will also forget [07911] thy children [01121]. 28 4 7 As they were increased [07230], so they sinned [02398] against me: therefore will I change [04171] their glory [03519] into shame [07036]. 28 4 8 They eat up [0398] the sin [02403] of my people [05971], and they set [05375] their heart [05315] on their iniquity [05771]. 28 4 9 And there shall be, like people [05971], like priest [03548]: and I will punish [06485] them for their ways [01870], and reward [07725] them their doings [04611]. 28 4 10 For they shall eat [0398], and not have enough [07646]: they shall commit whoredom [02181], and shall not increase [06555]: because they have left off [05800] to take heed [08104] to the LORD [03068]. 28 4 11 Whoredom [02184] and wine [03196] and new wine [08492] take away [03947] the heart [03820]. 28 4 12 My people [05971] ask [07592] counsel at their stocks [06086], and their staff [04731] declareth [05046] unto them: for the spirit [07307] of whoredoms [02183] hath caused them to err [08582], and they have gone a whoring [02181] from under their God [0430]. 28 4 13 They sacrifice [02076] upon the tops [07218] of the mountains [02022], and burn incense [06999] upon the hills [01389], under oaks [0437] and poplars [03839] and elms [0424], because the shadow [06738] thereof is good [02896]: therefore your daughters [01323] shall commit whoredom [02181], and your spouses [03618] shall commit adultery [05003]. 28 4 14 I will not punish [06485] your daughters [01323] when they commit whoredom [02181], nor your spouses [03618] when they commit adultery [05003]: for themselves are separated [06504] with whores [02181], and they sacrifice [02076] with harlots [06948]: therefore the people [05971] that doth not understand [0995] shall fall [03832]. 28 4 15 Though thou, Israel [03478], play the harlot [02181], yet let not Judah [03063] offend [0816]; and come [0935] not ye unto Gilgal [01537], neither go ye up [05927] to Bethaven [01007], nor swear [07650], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416]. 28 4 16 For Israel [03478] slideth back [05637] as a backsliding [05637] heifer [06510]: now the LORD [03068] will feed [07462] them as a lamb [03532] in a large place [04800]. 28 4 17 Ephraim [0669] is joined [02266] to idols [06091]: let him alone [03240]. 28 4 18 Their drink [05435] is sour [05493]: they have committed whoredom [02181] continually [02181]: her rulers [04043] with shame [07036] do love [0157], Give [03051] ye. 28 4 19 The wind [07307] hath bound her up [06887] in her wings [03671], and they shall be ashamed [0954] because of their sacrifices [02077]. 28 5 1 Hear [08085] ye this, O priests [03548]; and hearken [07181], ye house [01004] of Israel [03478]; and give ye ear [0238], O house [01004] of the king [04428]; for judgment [04941] is toward you, because ye have been a snare [06341] on Mizpah [04709], and a net [07568] spread [06566] upon Tabor [08396]. 28 5 2 And the revolters [07846] are profound [06009] to make slaughter [07819], though I have been a rebuker [04148] of them all. 28 5 3 I know [03045] Ephraim [0669], and Israel [03478] is not hid [03582] from me: for now, O Ephraim [0669], thou committest whoredom [02181], and Israel [03478] is defiled [02930]. 28 5 4 They will not frame [05414] their doings [04611] to turn [07725] unto their God [0430]: for the spirit [07307] of whoredoms [02183] is in the midst [07130] of them, and they have not known [03045] the LORD [03068]. 28 5 5 And the pride [01347] of Israel [03478] doth testify [06030] to his face [06440]: therefore shall Israel [03478] and Ephraim [0669] fall [03782] in their iniquity [05771]; Judah [03063] also shall fall [03782] with them. 28 5 6 They shall go [03212] with their flocks [06629] and with their herds [01241] to seek [01245] the LORD [03068]; but they shall not find [04672] him; he hath withdrawn [02502] himself from them. 28 5 7 They have dealt treacherously [0898] against the LORD [03068]: for they have begotten [03205] strange [02114] children [01121]: now shall a month [02320] devour [0398] them with their portions [02506]. 28 5 8 Blow [08628] ye the cornet [07782] in Gibeah [01390], and the trumpet [02689] in Ramah [07414]: cry aloud [07321] at Bethaven [01007], after [0310] thee, O Benjamin [01144]. 28 5 9 Ephraim [0669] shall be desolate [08047] in the day [03117] of rebuke [08433]: among the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] have I made known [03045] that which shall surely be [0539]. 28 5 10 The princes [08269] of Judah [03063] were like them that remove [05253] the bound [01366]: therefore I will pour out [08210] my wrath [05678] upon them like water [04325]. 28 5 11 Ephraim [0669] is oppressed [06231] and broken [07533] in judgment [04941], because he willingly [02974] walked [01980] after [0310] the commandment [06673]. 28 5 12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim [0669] as a moth [06211], and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063] as rottenness [07538]. 28 5 13 When Ephraim [0669] saw [07200] his sickness [02483], and Judah [03063] saw his wound [04205], then went [03212] Ephraim [0669] to the Assyrian [0804], and sent [07971] to king [04428] Jareb [03377] [07378]: yet could [03201] he not heal [07495] you, nor cure [01455] you of your wound [04205]. 28 5 14 For I will be unto Ephraim [0669] as a lion [07826], and as a young lion [03715] to the house [01004] of Judah [03063]: I, even I, will tear [02963] and go away [03212]; I will take away [05375], and none shall rescue [05337] him. 28 5 15 I will go [03212] and return [07725] to my place [04725], till they acknowledge their offence [0816], and seek [01245] my face [06440]: in their affliction [06862] they will seek me early [07836]. 28 6 1 Come [03212], and let us return [07725] unto the LORD [03068]: for he hath torn [02963], and he will heal [07495] us; he hath smitten [05221], and he will bind us up [02280]. 28 6 2 After two days [03117] will he revive [02421] us: in the third [07992] day [03117] he will raise us up [06965], and we shall live [02421] in his sight [06440]. 28 6 3 Then shall we know [03045], if we follow [07291] on to know [03045] the LORD [03068]: his going forth [04161] is prepared [03559] as the morning [07837]; and he shall come [0935] unto us as the rain [01653], as the latter [04456] and former rain [03384] unto the earth [0776]. 28 6 4 O Ephraim [0669], what shall I do [06213] unto thee? O Judah [03063], what shall I do [06213] unto thee? for your goodness [02617] is as a morning [01242] cloud [06051], and as the early [07925] dew [02919] it goeth away [01980]. 28 6 5 Therefore have I hewed [02672] them by the prophets [05030]; I have slain [02026] them by the words [0561] of my mouth [06310]: and thy judgments [04941] are as the light [0216] that goeth forth [03318]. 28 6 6 For I desired [02654] mercy [02617], and not sacrifice [02077]; and the knowledge [01847] of God [0430] more than burnt offerings [05930]. 28 6 7 But they like men [0120] have transgressed [05674] the covenant [01285]: there have they dealt treacherously [0898] against me. 28 6 8 Gilead [01568] is a city [07151] of them that work [06466] iniquity [0205], and is polluted [06121] with blood [01818]. 28 6 9 And as troops [01416] of robbers wait [02442] for a man [0376], so the company [02267] of priests [03548] murder [07523] in the way [01870] by consent [07926] [07927]: for they commit [06213] lewdness [02154]. 28 6 10 I have seen [07200] an horrible thing [08186] in the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: there is the whoredom [02184] of Ephraim [0669], Israel [03478] is defiled [02930]. 28 6 11 Also, O Judah [03063], he hath set [07896] an harvest [07105] for thee, when I returned [07725] the captivity [07622] of my people [05971]. 28 7 1 When I would have healed [07495] Israel [03478], then the iniquity [05771] of Ephraim [0669] was discovered [01540], and the wickedness [07451] of Samaria [08111]: for they commit [06466] falsehood [08267]; and the thief [01590] cometh in [0935], and the troop [01416] of robbers spoileth [06584] without [02351]. 28 7 2 And they consider [0559] not in their hearts [03824] that I remember [02142] all their wickedness [07451]: now their own doings [04611] have beset them about [05437]; they are before my face [06440]. 28 7 3 They make the king [04428] glad [08055] with their wickedness [07451], and the princes [08269] with their lies [03585]. 28 7 4 They are all adulterers [05003], as an oven [08574] heated [01197] by the baker [0644], who ceaseth [07673] from raising [05782] after he hath kneaded [03888] the dough [01217], until it be leavened [02556]. 28 7 5 In the day [03117] of our king [04428] the princes [08269] have made him sick [02470] with bottles [02534] of wine [03196]; he stretched out [04900] his hand [03027] with scorners [03945]. 28 7 6 For they have made ready [07126] their heart [03820] like an oven [08574], whiles they lie in wait [0693]: their baker [0644] sleepeth [03463] all the night [03915]; in the morning [01242] it burneth [01197] as a flaming [03852] fire [0784]. 28 7 7 They are all hot [02552] as an oven [08574], and have devoured [0398] their judges [08199]; all their kings [04428] are fallen [05307]: there is none among them that calleth [07121] unto me. 28 7 8 Ephraim [0669], he hath mixed [01101] himself among the people [05971]; Ephraim [0669] is a cake [05692] not turned [02015]. 28 7 9 Strangers [02114] have devoured [0398] his strength [03581], and he knoweth [03045] it not: yea, gray hairs [07872] are here and there [02236] upon him, yet he knoweth [03045] not. 28 7 10 And the pride [01347] of Israel [03478] testifieth [06030] to his face [06440]: and they do not return [07725] to the LORD [03068] their God [0430], nor seek [01245] him for all this. 28 7 11 Ephraim [0669] also is like a silly [06601] dove [03123] without heart [03820]: they call [07121] to Egypt [04714], they go [01980] to Assyria [0804]. 28 7 12 When they shall go [03212], I will spread [06566] my net [07568] upon them; I will bring them down [03381] as the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064]; I will chastise [03256] them, as their congregation [05712] hath heard [08088]. 28 7 13 Woe [0188] unto them! for they have fled [05074] from me: destruction [07701] unto them! because they have transgressed [06586] against me: though I have redeemed [06299] them, yet they have spoken [01696] lies [03577] against me. 28 7 14 And they have not cried [02199] unto me with their heart [03820], when they howled [03213] upon their beds [04904]: they assemble [01481] themselves for corn [01715] and wine [08492], and they rebel [05493] against me. 28 7 15 Though I have bound [03256] and strengthened [02388] their arms [02220], yet do they imagine [02803] mischief [07451] against me. 28 7 16 They return [07725], but not to the most High [05920]: they are like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198]: their princes [08269] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] for the rage [02195] of their tongue [03956]: this [02097] shall be their derision [03933] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]. 28 8 1 Set the trumpet [07782] to thy mouth [02441]. He shall come as an eagle [05404] against the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], because they have transgressed [05674] my covenant [01285], and trespassed [06586] against my law [08451]. 28 8 2 Israel [03478] shall cry [02199] unto me, My God [0430], we know [03045] thee. 28 8 3 Israel [03478] hath cast off [02186] the thing that is good [02896]: the enemy [0341] shall pursue [07291] him. 28 8 4 They have set up kings [04427], but not by me: they have made princes [07786], and I knew [03045] it not: of their silver [03701] and their gold [02091] have they made [06213] them idols [06091], that they may be cut off [03772]. 28 8 5 Thy calf [05695], O Samaria [08111], hath cast [02186] thee off; mine anger [0639] is kindled [02734] against them: how long will it be ere [03808] they attain [03201] to innocency [05356]? 28 8 6 For from Israel [03478] was it also: the workman [02796] made [06213] it; therefore it is not God [0430]: but the calf [05695] of Samaria [08111] shall be broken in pieces [07616]. 28 8 7 For they have sown [02232] the wind [07307], and they shall reap [07114] the whirlwind [05492]: it hath no stalk [07054]: the bud [06780] shall yield [06213] no meal [07058]: if [0194] so be it yield [06213], the strangers [02114] shall swallow it up [01104]. 28 8 8 Israel [03478] is swallowed up [01104]: now shall they be among the Gentiles [01471] as a vessel [03627] wherein is no pleasure [02656]. 28 8 9 For they are gone up [05927] to Assyria [0804], a wild ass [06501] alone [0909] by himself: Ephraim [0669] hath hired [08566] lovers [0158]. 28 8 10 Yea, though they have hired [08566] among the nations [01471], now will I gather [06908] them, and they shall sorrow [02490] a little [04592] for the burden [04853] of the king [04428] of princes [08269]. 28 8 11 Because Ephraim [0669] hath made many [07235] altars [04196] to sin [02398], altars [04196] shall be unto him to sin [02398]. 28 8 12 I have written [03789] to him the great things [07230] [07239] of my law [08451], but they were counted [02803] as a strange thing [02114]. 28 8 13 They sacrifice [02076] flesh [01320] for the sacrifices [02077] of mine offerings [01890], and eat [0398] it; but the LORD [03068] accepteth [07521] them not; now will he remember [02142] their iniquity [05771], and visit [06485] their sins [02403]: they shall return [07725] to Egypt [04714]. 28 8 14 For Israel [03478] hath forgotten [07911] his Maker [06213], and buildeth [01129] temples [01964]; and Judah [03063] hath multiplied [07235] fenced [01219] cities [05892]: but I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon his cities [05892], and it shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] thereof. 28 9 1 Rejoice [08055] not, O Israel [03478], for joy [01524], as other people [05971]: for thou hast gone a whoring [02181] from thy God [0430], thou hast loved [0157] a reward [0868] upon every cornfloor [01637] [01715]. 28 9 2 The floor [01637] and the winepress [03342] shall not feed [07462] them, and the new wine [08492] shall fail [03584] in her. 28 9 3 They shall not dwell [03427] in the LORD'S [03068] land [0776]; but Ephraim [0669] shall return [07725] to Egypt [04714], and they shall eat [0398] unclean [02931] things in Assyria [0804]. 28 9 4 They shall not offer [05258] wine [03196] offerings to the LORD [03068], neither shall they be pleasing [06149] unto him: their sacrifices [02077] shall be unto them as the bread [03899] of mourners [0205]; all that eat [0398] thereof shall be polluted [02930]: for their bread [03899] for their soul [05315] shall not come [0935] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 28 9 5 What will ye do [06213] in the solemn [04150] day [03117], and in the day [03117] of the feast [02282] of the LORD [03068]? 28 9 6 For, lo, they are gone [01980] because of destruction [07701]: Egypt [04714] shall gather them up [06908], Memphis [04644] shall bury [06912] them: the pleasant [04261] places for their silver [03701], nettles [07057] shall possess [03423] them: thorns [02336] shall be in their tabernacles [0168]. 28 9 7 The days [03117] of visitation [06486] are come [0935], the days [03117] of recompence [07966] are come [0935]; Israel [03478] shall know [03045] it: the prophet [05030] is a fool [0191], the spiritual [07307] man [0376] is mad [07696], for the multitude [07230] of thine iniquity [05771], and the great [07227] hatred [04895]. 28 9 8 The watchman [06822] of Ephraim [0669] was with my God [0430]: but the prophet [05030] is a snare [06341] of a fowler [03352] in all his ways [01870], and hatred [04895] in the house [01004] of his God [0430]. 28 9 9 They have deeply [06009] corrupted [07843] themselves, as in the days [03117] of Gibeah [01390]: therefore he will remember [02142] their iniquity [05771], he will visit [06485] their sins [02403]. 28 9 10 I found [04672] Israel [03478] like grapes [06025] in the wilderness [04057]; I saw [07200] your fathers [01] as the firstripe [01063] in the fig tree [08384] at her first time [07225]: but they went [0935] to Baalpeor [01187], and separated [05144] themselves unto that shame [01322]; and their abominations [08251] were according as they loved [0157]. 28 9 11 As for Ephraim [0669], their glory [03519] shall fly away [05774] like a bird [05775], from the birth [03205], and from the womb [0990], and from the conception [02032]. 28 9 12 Though they bring up [01431] their children [01121], yet will I bereave [07921] them, that there shall not be a man [0120] left: yea, woe [0188] also to them when I depart [05493] from them! 28 9 13 Ephraim [0669], as I saw [07200] Tyrus [06865], is planted [08362] in a pleasant place [05116]: but Ephraim [0669] shall bring forth [03318] his children [01121] to the murderer [02026]. 28 9 14 Give [05414] them, O LORD [03068]: what wilt thou give [05414]? give [05414] them a miscarrying [07921] womb [07358] and dry [06784] breasts [07699]. 28 9 15 All their wickedness [07451] is in Gilgal [01537]: for there I hated [08130] them: for the wickedness [07455] of their doings [04611] I will drive them out [01644] of mine house [01004], I will love [0160] them no more [03254]: all their princes [08269] are revolters [05637]. 28 9 16 Ephraim [0669] is smitten [05221], their root [08328] is dried up [03001], they shall bear [06213] no fruit [06529]: yea, though they bring forth [03205], yet will I slay [04191] even the beloved [04261] fruit of their womb [0990]. 28 9 17 My God [0430] will cast them away [03988], because they did not hearken [08085] unto him: and they shall be wanderers [05074] among the nations [01471]. 28 10 1 Israel [03478] is an empty [01238] vine [01612], he bringeth forth [07737] fruit [06529] unto himself: according to the multitude [07230] of his fruit [06529] he hath increased [07235] the altars [04196]; according to the goodness [02896] of his land [0776] they have made goodly [02895] images [04676]. 28 10 2 Their heart [03820] is divided [02505]; now shall they be found faulty [0816]: he shall break down [06202] their altars [04196], he shall spoil [07703] their images [04676]. 28 10 3 For now they shall say [0559], We have no king [04428], because we feared [03372] not the LORD [03068]; what then should a king [04428] do [06213] to us? 28 10 4 They have spoken [01696] words [01697], swearing [0422] falsely [07723] in making [03772] a covenant [01285]: thus judgment [04941] springeth up [06524] as hemlock [07219] in the furrows [08525] of the field [07704]. 28 10 5 The inhabitants [07934] of Samaria [08111] shall fear [01481] because of the calves [05697] of Bethaven [01007]: for the people [05971] thereof shall mourn [056] over it, and the priests [03649] thereof that rejoiced [01523] on it, for the glory [03519] thereof, because it is departed [01540] from it. 28 10 6 It shall be also carried [02986] unto Assyria [0804] for a present [04503] to king [04428] Jareb [03377]: Ephraim [0669] shall receive [03947] shame [01317], and Israel [03478] shall be ashamed [0954] of his own counsel [06098]. 28 10 7 As for Samaria [08111], her king [04428] is cut off [01820] as the foam [07110] upon [06440] the water [04325]. 28 10 8 The high places [01116] also of Aven [0206], the sin [02403] of Israel [03478], shall be destroyed [08045]: the thorn [06975] and the thistle [01863] shall come up [05927] on their altars [04196]; and they shall say [0559] to the mountains [02022], Cover [03680] us; and to the hills [01389], Fall [05307] on us. 28 10 9 O Israel [03478], thou hast sinned [02398] from the days [03117] of Gibeah [01390]: there they stood [05975]: the battle [04421] in Gibeah [01390] against the children [01121] of iniquity [05932] did not overtake [05381] them. 28 10 10 It is in my desire [0185] that I should chastise [03256] them; and the people [05971] shall be gathered [0622] against them, when they shall bind [0631] themselves in their two [08147] furrows [05869]. 28 10 11 And Ephraim [0669] is as an heifer [05697] that is taught [03925], and loveth [0157] to tread out [01758] the corn; but I passed over [05674] upon her fair [02898] neck [06677]: I will make Ephraim [0669] to ride [07392]; Judah [03063] shall plow [02790], and Jacob [03290] shall break his clods [07702]. 28 10 12 Sow [02232] to yourselves in righteousness [06666], reap [07114] in [06310] mercy [02617]; break up [05214] your fallow ground [05215]: for it is time [06256] to seek [01875] the LORD [03068], till he come [0935] and rain [03384] righteousness [06664] upon you. 28 10 13 Ye have plowed [02790] wickedness [07562], ye have reaped [07114] iniquity [05766]; ye have eaten [0398] the fruit [06529] of lies [03585]: because thou didst trust [0982] in thy way [01870], in the multitude [07230] of thy mighty men [01368]. 28 10 14 Therefore shall a tumult [07588] arise [06965] among thy people [05971], and all thy fortresses [04013] shall be spoiled [07703], as Shalman [08020] spoiled [07701] Betharbel [01009] in the day [03117] of battle [04421]: the mother [0517] was dashed in pieces [07376] upon her children [01121]. 28 10 15 So [03602] shall Bethel [01008] do [06213] unto you because [06440] of your great [07451] wickedness [07451]: in a morning [07837] shall the king [04428] of Israel [03478] utterly [01820] be cut off [01820]. 28 11 1 When Israel [03478] was a child [05288], then I loved [0157] him, and called [07121] my son [01121] out of Egypt [04714]. 28 11 2 As they called [07121] them, so they went [01980] from them [06440]: they sacrificed [02076] unto Baalim [01168], and burned incense [06999] to graven images [06456]. 28 11 3 I taught [08637] Ephraim [0669] also to go [08637], taking [03947] them by their arms [02220]; but they knew [03045] not that I healed [07495] them. 28 11 4 I drew [04900] them with cords [02256] of a man [0120], with bands [05688] of love [0160]: and I was to them as they that take off [07311] the yoke [05923] on their jaws [03895], and I laid [05186] meat [0398] unto them. 28 11 5 He shall not return [07725] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], but the Assyrian [0804] shall be his king [04428], because they refused [03985] to return [07725]. 28 11 6 And the sword [02719] shall abide [02342] on his cities [05892], and shall consume [03615] his branches [0905], and devour [0398] them, because of their own counsels [04156]. 28 11 7 And my people [05971] are bent [08511] to backsliding [04878] from me: though they called [07121] them to the most High [05920], none at all [03162] would exalt [07311] him. 28 11 8 How shall I give thee up [05414], Ephraim [0669]? how shall I deliver [04042] thee, Israel [03478]? how shall I make [05414] thee as Admah [0126]? how shall I set [07760] thee as Zeboim [06636]? mine heart [03820] is turned [02015] within me, my repentings [05150] are kindled [03648] together [03162]. 28 11 9 I will not execute [06213] the fierceness [02740] of mine anger [0639], I will not return [07725] to destroy [07843] Ephraim [0669]: for I am God [0410], and not man [0376]; the Holy One [06918] in the midst [07130] of thee: and I will not enter [0935] into the city [05892]. 28 11 10 They shall walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068]: he shall roar [07580] like a lion [0738]: when he shall roar [07580], then the children [01121] shall tremble [02729] from the west [03220]. 28 11 11 They shall tremble [02729] as a bird [06833] out of Egypt [04714], and as a dove [03123] out of the land [0776] of Assyria [0804]: and I will place [03427] them in their houses [01004], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 28 11 12 Ephraim [0669] compasseth [05437] me about with lies [03585], and the house [01004] of Israel [03478] with deceit [04820]: but Judah [03063] yet ruleth [07300] with God [0410], and is faithful [0539] with the saints [06918]. 28 12 1 Ephraim [0669] feedeth [07462] on wind [07307], and followeth [07291] after the east wind [06921]: he daily [03117] increaseth [07235] lies [03577] and desolation [07701]; and they do make [03772] a covenant [01285] with the Assyrians [0804], and oil [08081] is carried [02986] into Egypt [04714]. 28 12 2 The LORD [03068] hath also a controversy [07379] with Judah [03063], and will punish [06485] Jacob [03290] according to his ways [01870]; according to his doings [04611] will he recompense [07725] him. 28 12 3 He took his brother [0251] by the heel [06117] in the womb [0990], and by his strength [0202] he had power [08280] with God [0430]: 28 12 4 Yea, he had power [07786] over the angel [04397], and prevailed [03201]: he wept [01058], and made supplication [02603] unto him: he found [04672] him in Bethel [01008], and there he spake [01696] with us; 28 12 5 Even the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635]; the LORD [03068] is his memorial [02143]. 28 12 6 Therefore turn [07725] thou to thy God [0430]: keep [08104] mercy [02617] and judgment [04941], and wait [06960] on thy God [0430] continually [08548]. 28 12 7 He is a merchant [03667], the balances [03976] of deceit [04820] are in his hand [03027]: he loveth [0157] to oppress [06231]. 28 12 8 And Ephraim [0669] said [0559], Yet I am become rich [06238], I have found me out [04672] substance [0202]: in all my labours [03018] they shall find [04672] none iniquity [05771] in me that were sin [02399]. 28 12 9 And I that am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] will yet make thee to dwell [03427] in tabernacles [0168], as in the days [03117] of the solemn feast [04150]. 28 12 10 I have also spoken [01696] by the prophets [05030], and I have multiplied [07235] visions [02377], and used similitudes [01819], by the ministry [03027] of the prophets [05030]. 28 12 11 Is there iniquity [0205] in Gilead [01568]? surely they are vanity [07723]: they sacrifice [02076] bullocks [07794] in Gilgal [01537]; yea, their altars [04196] are as heaps [01530] in the furrows [08525] of the fields [07704]. 28 12 12 And Jacob [03290] fled [01272] into the country [07704] of Syria [0758], and Israel [03478] served [05647] for a wife [0802], and for a wife [0802] he kept [08104] sheep. 28 12 13 And by a prophet [05030] the LORD [03068] brought [05927] Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714], and by a prophet [05030] was he preserved [08104]. 28 12 14 Ephraim [0669] provoked him to anger [03707] most bitterly [08563]: therefore shall he leave [05203] his blood [01818] upon him, and his reproach [02781] shall his Lord [0113] return [07725] unto him. 28 13 1 When Ephraim [0669] spake [01696] trembling [07578], he exalted [05375] himself in Israel [03478]; but when he offended [0816] in Baal [01168], he died [04191]. 28 13 2 And now they sin [02398] more and more [03254], and have made [06213] them molten images [04541] of their silver [03701], and idols [06091] according to their own understanding [08394], all of it the work [04639] of the craftsmen [02796]: they say [0559] of them, Let the men [0120] that sacrifice [02076] kiss [05401] the calves [05695]. 28 13 3 Therefore they shall be as the morning [01242] cloud [06051], and as the early [07925] dew [02919] that passeth away [01980], as the chaff [04671] that is driven with the whirlwind [05590] out of the floor [01637], and as the smoke [06227] out of the chimney [0699]. 28 13 4 Yet I am the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and thou shalt know [03045] no god [0430] but me [02108]: for there is no saviour [03467] beside me [01115]. 28 13 5 I did know [03045] thee in the wilderness [04057], in the land [0776] of great drought [08514]. 28 13 6 According to their pasture [04830], so were they filled [07646]; they were filled [07646], and their heart [03820] was exalted [07311]; therefore have they forgotten [07911] me. 28 13 7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion [07826]: as a leopard [05246] by the way [01870] will I observe [07789] them: 28 13 8 I will meet [06298] them as a bear [01677] that is bereaved [07909] of her whelps, and will rend [07167] the caul [05458] of their heart [03820], and there will I devour [0398] them like a lion [03833]: the wild [07704] beast [02416] shall tear [01234] them. 28 13 9 O Israel [03478], thou hast destroyed [07843] thyself; but in me is thine help [05828]. 28 13 10 I will [0165] be thy king [04428]: where [0645] is any other that may save [03467] thee in all thy cities [05892]? and thy judges [08199] of whom thou saidst [0559], Give [05414] me a king [04428] and princes [08269]? 28 13 11 I gave [05414] thee a king [04428] in mine anger [0639], and took [03947] him away in my wrath [05678]. 28 13 12 The iniquity [05771] of Ephraim [0669] is bound up [06887]; his sin [02403] is hid [06845]. 28 13 13 The sorrows [02256] of a travailing woman [03205] shall come [0935] upon him: he is an unwise [02450] son [01121]; for he should not stay [05975] long [06256] in the place of the breaking forth [04866] of children [01121]. 28 13 14 I will ransom [06299] them from the power [03027] of the grave [07585]; I will redeem [01350] them from death [04194]: O death [04194], I will [0165] be thy plagues [01698]; O grave [07585], I will [0165] be thy destruction [06987]: repentance [05164] shall be hid [05641] from mine eyes [05869]. 28 13 15 Though he be fruitful [06500] among his brethren [0251], an east wind [06921] shall come [0935], the wind [07307] of the LORD [03068] shall come up [05927] from the wilderness [04057], and his spring [04726] shall become dry [0954], and his fountain [04599] shall be dried up [02717]: he shall spoil [08154] the treasure [0214] of all pleasant [02532] vessels [03627]. 28 13 16 Samaria [08111] shall become desolate [0816]; for she hath rebelled [04784] against her God [0430]: they shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719]: their infants [05768] shall be dashed in pieces [07376], and their women with child [02030] shall be ripped up [01234]. 28 14 1 O Israel [03478], return [07725] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]; for thou hast fallen [03782] by thine iniquity [05771]. 28 14 2 Take [03947] with you words [01697], and turn [07725] to the LORD [03068]: say [0559] unto him, Take away [05375] all iniquity [05771], and receive [03947] us graciously [02896]: so will we render [07999] the calves [06499] of our lips [08193]. 28 14 3 Asshur [0804] shall not save [03467] us; we will not ride [07392] upon horses [05483]: neither will we say [0559] any more to the work [04639] of our hands [03027], Ye are our gods [0430]: for in thee the fatherless [03490] findeth mercy [07355]. 28 14 4 I will heal [07495] their backsliding [04878], I will love [0157] them freely [05071]: for mine anger [0639] is turned away [07725] from him. 28 14 5 I will be as the dew [02919] unto Israel [03478]: he shall grow [06524] as the lily [07799], and cast forth [05221] his roots [08328] as Lebanon [03844]. 28 14 6 His branches [03127] shall spread [03212], and his beauty [01935] shall be as the olive tree [02132], and his smell [07381] as Lebanon [03844]. 28 14 7 They that dwell [03427] under his shadow [06738] shall return [07725]; they shall revive [02421] as the corn [01715], and grow [06524] as the vine [01612]: the scent [02143] thereof shall be as the wine [03196] of Lebanon [03844]. 28 14 8 Ephraim [0669] shall say, What have I to do any more with idols [06091]? I have heard [06030] him, and observed [07789] him: I am like a green [07488] fir tree [01265]. From me is thy fruit [06529] found [04672]. 28 14 9 Who is wise [02450], and he shall understand [0995] these things? prudent [0995], and he shall know [03045] them? for the ways [01870] of the LORD [03068] are right [03477], and the just [06662] shall walk [03212] in them: but the transgressors [06586] shall fall [03782] therein. 29 1 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Joel [03100] the son [01121] of Pethuel [06602]. 29 1 2 Hear [08085] this, ye old men [02205], and give ear [0238], all ye inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776]. Hath this been in your days [03117], or even [0518] in the days [03117] of your fathers [01]? 29 1 3 Tell [05608] ye your children [01121] of it, and let your children [01121] tell their children [01121], and their children [01121] another [0312] generation [01755]. 29 1 4 That which the palmerworm [01501] hath left [03499] hath the locust [0697] eaten [0398]; and that which the locust [0697] hath left [03499] hath the cankerworm [03218] eaten [0398]; and that which the cankerworm [03218] hath left [03499] hath the caterpiller [02625] eaten [0398]. 29 1 5 Awake [06974], ye drunkards [07910], and weep [01058]; and howl [03213], all ye drinkers [08354] of wine [03196], because of the new wine [06071]; for it is cut off [03772] from your mouth [06310]. 29 1 6 For a nation [01471] is come up [05927] upon my land [0776], strong [06099], and without number [04557], whose teeth [08127] are the teeth [08127] of a lion [0738], and he hath the cheek teeth [04973] of a great lion [03833]. 29 1 7 He hath laid [07760] my vine [01612] waste [08047], and barked [07111] my fig tree [08384]: he hath made it clean [02834] bare [02834], and cast it away [07993]; the branches [08299] thereof are made white [03835]. 29 1 8 Lament [0421] like a virgin [01330] girded [02296] with sackcloth [08242] for the husband [01167] of her youth [05271]. 29 1 9 The meat offering [04503] and the drink offering [05262] is cut off [03772] from the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; the priests [03548], the LORD'S [03068] ministers [08334], mourn [056]. 29 1 10 The field [07704] is wasted [07703], the land [0127] mourneth [056]; for the corn [01715] is wasted [07703]: the new wine [08492] is dried up [03001], the oil [03323] languisheth [0535]. 29 1 11 Be ye ashamed [03001], O ye husbandmen [0406]; howl [03213], O ye vinedressers [03755], for the wheat [02406] and for the barley [08184]; because the harvest [07105] of the field [07704] is perished [06]. 29 1 12 The vine [01612] is dried up [03001], and the fig tree [08384] languisheth [0535]; the pomegranate [07416] tree, the palm tree [08558] also, and the apple tree [08598], even all the trees [06086] of the field [07704], are withered [03001]: because joy [08342] is withered away [03001] from the sons [01121] of men [0120]. 29 1 13 Gird [02296] yourselves, and lament [05594], ye priests [03548]: howl [03213], ye ministers [08334] of the altar [04196]: come [0935], lie all night [03885] in sackcloth [08242], ye ministers [08334] of my God [0430]: for the meat offering [04503] and the drink offering [05262] is withholden [04513] from the house [01004] of your God [0430]. 29 1 14 Sanctify [06942] ye a fast [06685], call [07121] a solemn assembly [06116], gather [0622] the elders [02205] and all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and cry [02199] unto the LORD [03068], 29 1 15 Alas [0162] for the day [03117]! for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138], and as a destruction [07701] from the Almighty [07706] shall it come [0935]. 29 1 16 Is not the meat [0400] cut off [03772] before our eyes [05869], yea, joy [08057] and gladness [01524] from the house [01004] of our God [0430]? 29 1 17 The seed [06507] is rotten [05685] under their clods [04053], the garners [0214] are laid desolate [08074], the barns [04460] are broken down [02040]; for the corn [01715] is withered [03001]. 29 1 18 How do the beasts [0929] groan [0584] ! the herds [05739] of cattle [01241] are perplexed [0943], because they have no pasture [04829]; yea, the flocks [05739] of sheep [06629] are made desolate [0816]. 29 1 19 O LORD [03068], to thee will I cry [07121]: for the fire [0784] hath devoured [0398] the pastures [04999] of the wilderness [04057], and the flame [03852] hath burned [03857] all the trees [06086] of the field [07704]. 29 1 20 The beasts [0929] of the field [07704] cry [06165] also unto thee: for the rivers [0650] of waters [04325] are dried up [03001], and the fire [0784] hath devoured [0398] the pastures [04999] of the wilderness [04057]. 29 2 1 Blow [08628] ye the trumpet [07782] in Zion [06726], and sound an alarm [07321] in my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: let all the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776] tremble [07264]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] cometh [0935], for it is nigh at hand [07138]; 29 2 2 A day [03117] of darkness [02822] and of gloominess [0653], a day [03117] of clouds [06051] and of thick darkness [06205], as the morning [07837] spread [06566] upon the mountains [02022]: a great [07227] people [05971] and a strong [06099]; there hath not been [01961] ever [05769] the like, neither shall be any more [03254] after [0310] it, even to the years [08141] of many [01755] generations [01755]. 29 2 3 A fire [0784] devoureth [0398] before [06440] them; and behind [0310] them a flame [03852] burneth [03857]: the land [0776] is as the garden [01588] of Eden [05731] before [06440] them, and behind [0310] them a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057]; yea, and nothing shall escape [06413] them. 29 2 4 The appearance [04758] of them is as the appearance [04758] of horses [05483]; and as horsemen [06571], so shall they run [07323]. 29 2 5 Like the noise [06963] of chariots [04818] on the tops [07218] of mountains [02022] shall they leap [07540], like the noise [06963] of a flame [03851] of fire [0784] that devoureth [0398] the stubble [07179], as a strong [06099] people [05971] set in battle [04421] array [06186]. 29 2 6 Before their face [06440] the people [05971] shall be much pained [02342]: all faces [06440] shall gather [06908] blackness [06289]. 29 2 7 They shall run [07323] like mighty men [01368]; they shall climb [05927] the wall [02346] like men [0582] of war [04421]; and they shall march [03212] every one [0376] on his ways [01870], and they shall not break [05670] their ranks [0734]: 29 2 8 Neither shall one [0376] thrust [01766] another [0251]; they shall walk [03212] every one [01397] in his path [04546]: and when they fall [05307] upon the sword [07973], they shall not be wounded [01214]. 29 2 9 They shall run to and fro [08264] in the city [05892]; they shall run [07323] upon the wall [02346], they shall climb up [05927] upon the houses [01004]; they shall enter in [0935] at the windows [02474] like a thief [01590]. 29 2 10 The earth [0776] shall quake [07264] before [06440] them; the heavens [08064] shall tremble [07493]: the sun [08121] and the moon [03394] shall be dark [06937], and the stars [03556] shall withdraw [0622] their shining [05051]: 29 2 11 And the LORD [03068] shall utter [05414] his voice [06963] before [06440] his army [02428]: for his camp [04264] is very [03966] great [07227]: for he is strong [06099] that executeth [06213] his word [01697]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is great [01419] and very [03966] terrible [03372]; and who can abide [03557] it? 29 2 12 Therefore also now, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], turn [07725] ye even to me with all your heart [03824], and with fasting [06685], and with weeping [01065], and with mourning [04553]: 29 2 13 And rend [07167] your heart [03824], and not your garments [0899], and turn [07725] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: for he is gracious [02587] and merciful [07349], slow [0750] to anger [0639], and of great [07227] kindness [02617], and repenteth [05162] him of the evil [07451]. 29 2 14 Who knoweth [03045] if he will return [07725] and repent [05162], and leave [07604] a blessing [01293] behind [0310] him; even a meat offering [04503] and a drink offering [05262] unto the LORD [03068] your God [0430]? 29 2 15 Blow [08628] the trumpet [07782] in Zion [06726], sanctify [06942] a fast [06685], call [07121] a solemn assembly [06116]: 29 2 16 Gather [0622] the people [05971], sanctify [06942] the congregation [06951], assemble [06908] the elders [02205], gather [0622] the children [05768], and those that suck [03243] the breasts [07699]: let the bridegroom [02860] go forth [03318] of his chamber [02315], and the bride [03618] out of her closet [02646]. 29 2 17 Let the priests [03548], the ministers [08334] of the LORD [03068], weep [01058] between the porch [0197] and the altar [04196], and let them say [0559], Spare [02347] thy people [05971], O LORD [03068], and give [05414] not thine heritage [05159] to reproach [02781], that the heathen [01471] should rule over [04910] them: wherefore should they say [0559] among the people [05971], Where is their God [0430]? 29 2 18 Then will the LORD [03068] be jealous [07065] for his land [0776], and pity [02550] his people [05971]. 29 2 19 Yea, the LORD [03068] will answer [06030] and say [0559] unto his people [05971], Behold, I will send [07971] you corn [01715], and wine [08492], and oil [03323], and ye shall be satisfied [07646] therewith: and I will no more make [05414] you a reproach [02781] among the heathen [01471]: 29 2 20 But I will remove far off [07368] from you the northern [06830] army, and will drive [05080] him into a land [0776] barren [06723] and desolate [08077], with his face [06440] toward the east [06931] sea [03220], and his hinder part [05490] toward the utmost [0314] sea [03220], and his stink [0889] shall come up [05927], and his ill savour [06709] shall come up [05927], because he hath done [06213] great things [01431]. 29 2 21 Fear [03372] not, O land [0127]; be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055]: for the LORD [03068] will do [06213] great things [01431]. 29 2 22 Be not afraid [03372], ye beasts [0929] of the field [07704]: for the pastures [04999] of the wilderness [04057] do spring [01876], for the tree [06086] beareth [05375] her fruit [06529], the fig tree [08384] and the vine [01612] do yield [05414] their strength [02428]. 29 2 23 Be glad [01523] then, ye children [01121] of Zion [06726], and rejoice [08055] in the LORD [03068] your God [0430]: for he hath given [05414] you the former rain [04175] moderately [06666], and he will cause to come down [03381] for you the rain [01653], the former rain [04175], and the latter rain [04456] in the first [07223] month. 29 2 24 And the floors [01637] shall be full [04390] of wheat [01250], and the fats [03342] shall overflow [07783] with wine [08492] and oil [03323]. 29 2 25 And I will restore [07999] to you the years [08141] that the locust [0697] hath eaten [0398], the cankerworm [03218], and the caterpiller [02625], and the palmerworm [01501], my great [01419] army [02428] which I sent [07971] among you. 29 2 26 And ye shall eat [0398] in plenty [0398], and be satisfied [07646], and praise [01984] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430], that hath dealt [06213] wondrously [06381] with you: and my people [05971] shall never [05769] be ashamed [0954]. 29 2 27 And ye shall know [03045] that I am in the midst [07130] of Israel [03478], and that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and none else: and my people [05971] shall never [05769] be ashamed [0954]. 29 2 28 And it shall come to pass afterward [0310], that I will pour out [08210] my spirit [07307] upon all flesh [01320]; and your sons [01121] and your daughters [01323] shall prophesy [05012], your old men [02205] shall dream [02492] dreams [02472], your young men [0970] shall see [07200] visions [02384]: 29 2 29 And also upon the servants [05650] and upon the handmaids [08198] in those days [03117] will I pour out [08210] my spirit [07307]. 29 2 30 And I will shew [05414] wonders [04159] in the heavens [08064] and in the earth [0776], blood [01818], and fire [0784], and pillars [08490] of smoke [06227]. 29 2 31 The sun [08121] shall be turned [02015] into darkness [02822], and the moon [03394] into blood [01818], before [06440] the great [01419] and the terrible [03372] day [03117] of the LORD [03068] come [0935]. 29 2 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call [07121] on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] shall be delivered [04422]: for in mount [02022] Zion [06726] and in Jerusalem [03389] shall be deliverance [06413], as the LORD [03068] hath said [0559], and in the remnant [08300] whom the LORD [03068] shall call [07121]. 29 3 1 For, behold, in those days [03117], and in that time [06256], when I shall bring again [07725] [07725] the captivity [07622] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389], 29 3 2 I will also gather [06908] all nations [01471], and will bring them down [03381] into the valley [06010] of Jehoshaphat [03092], and will plead [08199] with them there for my people [05971] and for my heritage [05159] Israel [03478], whom they have scattered [06340] among the nations [01471], and parted [02505] my land [0776]. 29 3 3 And they have cast [03032] lots [01486] for my people [05971]; and have given [05414] a boy [03206] for an harlot [02181], and sold [04376] a girl [03207] for wine [03196], that they might drink [08354]. 29 3 4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre [06865], and Zidon [06721], and all the coasts [01552] of Palestine [06429]? will ye render [07999] me a recompence [01576]? and if ye recompense [01580] me, swiftly [07031] and speedily [04120] will I return [07725] your recompence [01576] upon your own head [07218]; 29 3 5 Because ye have taken [03947] my silver [03701] and my gold [02091], and have carried [0935] into your temples [01964] my goodly [02896] pleasant things [04261]: 29 3 6 The children [01121] also of Judah [03063] and the children [01121] of Jerusalem [03389] have ye sold [04376] unto the Grecians [03125] [01121], that ye might remove them far [07368] from their border [01366]. 29 3 7 Behold, I will raise [05782] them out of the place [04725] whither ye have sold [04376] them, and will return [07725] your recompence [01576] upon your own head [07218]: 29 3 8 And I will sell [04376] your sons [01121] and your daughters [01323] into the hand [03027] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063], and they shall sell [04376] them to the Sabeans [07615], to a people [01471] far off [07350]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 29 3 9 Proclaim [07121] ye this among the Gentiles [01471]; Prepare [06942] war [04421], wake up [05782] the mighty men [01368], let all the men [0582] of war [04421] draw near [05066]; let them come up [05927]: 29 3 10 Beat [03807] your plowshares [0855] into swords [02719], and your pruninghooks [04211] into spears [07420]: let the weak [02523] say [0559], I am strong [01368]. 29 3 11 Assemble [05789] yourselves, and come [0935], all ye heathen [01471], and gather yourselves together [06908] round about [05439]: thither cause thy mighty ones [01368] to come down [05181], O LORD [03068]. 29 3 12 Let the heathen [01471] be wakened [05782], and come up [05927] to the valley [06010] of Jehoshaphat [03092]: for there will I sit [03427] to judge [08199] all the heathen [01471] round about [05439]. 29 3 13 Put [07971] ye in the sickle [04038], for the harvest [07105] is ripe [01310]: come [0935], get you down [03381]; for the press [01660] is full [04390], the fats [03342] overflow [07783]; for their wickedness [07451] is great [07227]. 29 3 14 Multitudes [01995], multitudes [01995] in the valley [06010] of decision [02742]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138] in the valley [06010] of decision [02742]. 29 3 15 The sun [08121] and the moon [03394] shall be darkened [06937], and the stars [03556] shall withdraw [0622] their shining [05051]. 29 3 16 The LORD [03068] also shall roar [07580] out of Zion [06726], and utter [05414] his voice [06963] from Jerusalem [03389]; and the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776] shall shake [07493]: but the LORD [03068] will be the hope [04268] of his people [05971], and the strength [04581] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 29 3 17 So shall ye know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430] dwelling [07931] in Zion [06726], my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: then shall Jerusalem [03389] be holy [06944], and there shall no strangers [02114] pass through [05674] her any more. 29 3 18 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the mountains [02022] shall drop down [05197] new wine [06071], and the hills [01389] shall flow [03212] with milk [02461], and all the rivers [0650] of Judah [03063] shall flow [03212] with waters [04325], and a fountain [04599] shall come forth [03318] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], and shall water [08248] the valley [05158] of Shittim [07851]. 29 3 19 Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776]. 29 3 20 But Judah [03063] shall dwell [03427] for ever [05769], and Jerusalem [03389] from generation [01755] to generation [01755]. 29 3 21 For I will cleanse [05352] their blood [01818] that I have not cleansed [05352]: for the LORD [03068] dwelleth [07931] in Zion [06726]. 30 1 1 The words [01697] of Amos [05986], who was among the herdmen [05349] of Tekoa [08620], which he saw [02372] concerning Israel [03478] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and in the days [03117] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Joash [03101] king [04428] of Israel [03478], two years [08141] before [06440] the earthquake [07494]. 30 1 2 And he said [0559], The LORD [03068] will roar [07580] from Zion [06726], and utter [05414] his voice [06963] from Jerusalem [03389]; and the habitations [04999] of the shepherds [07462] shall mourn [056], and the top [07218] of Carmel [03760] shall wither [03001]. 30 1 3 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Damascus [01834], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they have threshed [01758] Gilead [01568] with threshing instruments [02742] of iron [01270]: 30 1 4 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] into the house [01004] of Hazael [02371], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Benhadad [01130]. 30 1 5 I will break [07665] also the bar [01280] of Damascus [01834], and cut off [03772] the inhabitant [03427] from the plain [01237] of Aven [0206], and him that holdeth [08551] the sceptre [07626] from the house [01004] of Eden [05731] [01040]: and the people [05971] of Syria [0758] shall go into captivity [01540] unto Kir [07024], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 30 1 6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Gaza [05804], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive [01540] the whole [08003] captivity [01546], to deliver them up [05462] to Edom [0123]: 30 1 7 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] on the wall [02346] of Gaza [05804], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] thereof: 30 1 8 And I will cut off [03772] the inhabitant [03427] from Ashdod [0795], and him that holdeth [08551] the sceptre [07626] from Ashkelon [0831], and I will turn [07725] mine hand [03027] against Ekron [06138]: and the remnant [07611] of the Philistines [06430] shall perish [06], saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 30 1 9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Tyrus [06865], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they delivered up [05462] the whole [08003] captivity [01546] to Edom [0123], and remembered [02142] not the brotherly [0251] covenant [01285]: 30 1 10 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] on the wall [02346] of Tyrus [06865], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] thereof. 30 1 11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Edom [0123], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue [07291] his brother [0251] with the sword [02719], and did cast off [07843] all pity [07356], and his anger [0639] did tear [02963] perpetually [05703], and he kept [08104] his wrath [05678] for ever [05331]: 30 1 12 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Teman [08487], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Bozrah [01224]. 30 1 13 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up [01234] the women with child [02030] of Gilead [01568], that they might enlarge [07337] their border [01366]: 30 1 14 But I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the wall [02346] of Rabbah [07237], and it shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] thereof, with shouting [08643] in the day [03117] of battle [04421], with a tempest [05591] in the day [03117] of the whirlwind [05492]: 30 1 15 And their king [04428] shall go [01980] into captivity [01473], he and his princes [08269] together [03162], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 30 2 1 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Moab [04124], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he burned [08313] the bones [06106] of the king [04428] of Edom [0123] into lime [07875]: 30 2 2 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Moab [04124], and it shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Kerioth [07152]: and Moab [04124] shall die [04191] with tumult [07588], with shouting [08643], and with the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782]: 30 2 3 And I will cut off [03772] the judge [08199] from the midst [07130] thereof, and will slay [02026] all the princes [08269] thereof with him, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 30 2 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Judah [03063], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they have despised [03988] the law [08451] of the LORD [03068], and have not kept [08104] his commandments [02706], and their lies [03577] caused them to err [08582], after [0310] the which their fathers [01] have walked [01980]: 30 2 5 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Judah [03063], and it shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Jerusalem [03389]. 30 2 6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Israel [03478], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because they sold [04376] the righteous [06662] for silver [03701], and the poor [034] for a pair of shoes [05275]; 30 2 7 That pant [07602] after the dust [06083] of the earth [0776] on the head [07218] of the poor [01800], and turn aside [05186] the way [01870] of the meek [06035]: and a man [0376] and his father [01] will go [03212] in unto the same maid [05291], to profane [02490] my holy [06944] name [08034]: 30 2 8 And they lay themselves down [05186] upon clothes [0899] laid to pledge [02254] by [0681] every altar [04196], and they drink [08354] the wine [03196] of the condemned [06064] in the house [01004] of their god [0430]. 30 2 9 Yet destroyed [08045] I the Amorite [0567] before [06440] them, whose height [01363] was like the height [01363] of the cedars [0730], and he was strong [02634] as the oaks [0437]; yet I destroyed [08045] his fruit [06529] from above [04605], and his roots [08328] from beneath. 30 2 10 Also I brought you up [05927] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and led [03212] you forty [0705] years [08141] through the wilderness [04057], to possess [03423] the land [0776] of the Amorite [0567]. 30 2 11 And I raised up [06965] of your sons [01121] for prophets [05030], and of your young men [0970] for Nazarites [05139]. Is it not even thus, O ye children [01121] of Israel [03478]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 2 12 But ye gave the Nazarites [05139] wine [03196] to drink [08248]; and commanded [06680] the prophets [05030], saying [0559], Prophesy [05012] not. 30 2 13 Behold, I am pressed [05781] under you, as a cart [05699] is pressed [05781] that is full [04392] of sheaves [05995]. 30 2 14 Therefore the flight [04498] shall perish [06] from the swift [07031], and the strong [02389] shall not strengthen [0553] his force [03581], neither shall the mighty [01368] deliver [04422] himself [05315]: 30 2 15 Neither shall he stand [05975] that handleth [08610] the bow [07198]; and he that is swift [07031] of foot [07272] shall not deliver [04422] himself: neither shall he that rideth [07392] the horse [05483] deliver [04422] himself [05315]. 30 2 16 And he that is courageous [0533] [03820] among the mighty [01368] shall flee away [05127] naked [06174] in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 3 1 Hear [08085] this word [01697] that the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] against you, O children [01121] of Israel [03478], against the whole family [04940] which I brought up [05927] from the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], saying [0559], 30 3 2 You only have I known [03045] of all the families [04940] of the earth [0127]: therefore I will punish [06485] you for all your iniquities [05771]. 30 3 3 Can two [08147] walk [03212] together [03162], except [01115] they be agreed [03259]? 30 3 4 Will a lion [0738] roar [07580] in the forest [03293], when he hath no prey [02964]? will a young lion [03715] cry out [05414] [06963] of his den [04585], if he have taken [03920] nothing [01115]? 30 3 5 Can a bird [06833] fall [05307] in a snare [06341] upon the earth [0776], where no gin [04170] is for him? shall one take up [05927] a snare [06341] from the earth [0127], and have taken [03920] nothing at all [03920]? 30 3 6 Shall a trumpet [07782] be blown [08628] in the city [05892], and the people [05971] not be afraid [02729]? shall there be evil [07451] in a city [05892], and the LORD [03068] hath not done [06213] it? 30 3 7 Surely the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] will do [06213] nothing [01697], but he revealeth [01540] his secret [05475] unto his servants [05650] the prophets [05030]. 30 3 8 The lion [0738] hath roared [07580], who will not [03808] fear [03372]? the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] hath spoken [01696], who can but prophesy [05012]? 30 3 9 Publish [08085] in the palaces [0759] at Ashdod [0795], and in the palaces [0759] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and say [0559], Assemble [0622] yourselves upon the mountains [02022] of Samaria [08111], and behold [07200] the great [07227] tumults [04103] in the midst [07130] thereof, and the oppressed [06217] in the midst [08432] thereof. 30 3 10 For they know [03045] not to do [06213] right [05229], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], who store [0686] up violence [02555] and robbery [07701] in their palaces [0759]. 30 3 11 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; An adversary [06862] there shall be even round about [05439] the land [0776]; and he shall bring down [03381] thy strength [05797] from thee, and thy palaces [0759] shall be spoiled [0962]. 30 3 12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; As the shepherd [07462] taketh out [05337] of the mouth [06310] of the lion [0738] two [08147] legs [03767], or a piece [0915] of an ear [0241]; so shall the children [01121] of Israel [03478] be taken out [05337] that dwell [03427] in Samaria [08111] in the corner [06285] of a bed [04296], and in Damascus [01833] in a couch [06210]. 30 3 13 Hear [08085] ye, and testify [05749] in the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], 30 3 14 That in the day [03117] that I shall visit [06485] the transgressions [06588] of Israel [03478] upon him I will also visit [06485] the altars [04196] of Bethel [01008]: and the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] shall be cut off [01438], and fall [05307] to the ground [0776]. 30 3 15 And I will smite [05221] the winter [02779] house [01004] with the summer [07019] house [01004]; and the houses [01004] of ivory [08127] shall perish [06], and the great [07227] houses [01004] shall have an end [05486], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 1 Hear [08085] this word [01697], ye kine [06510] of Bashan [01316], that are in the mountain [02022] of Samaria [08111], which oppress [06231] the poor [01800], which crush [07533] the needy [034], which say [0559] to their masters [0113], Bring [0935], and let us drink [08354]. 30 4 2 The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] hath sworn [07650] by his holiness [06944], that, lo, the days [03117] shall come [0935] upon you, that he will take you away [05375] with hooks [06793], and your posterity [0319] with fishhooks [01729] [05518]. 30 4 3 And ye shall go out [03318] at the breaches [06556], every [0802] cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast [07993] them into the palace [02038], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 4 Come [0935] to Bethel [01008], and transgress [06586]; at Gilgal [01537] multiply [07235] transgression [06586]; and bring [0935] your sacrifices [02077] every morning [01242], and your tithes [04643] after three [07969] years [03117]: 30 4 5 And offer [06999] a sacrifice of thanksgiving [08426] with leaven [02557], and proclaim [07121] and publish [08085] the free offerings [05071]: for this [03651] liketh [0157] you, O ye children [01121] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 30 4 6 And I also have given [05414] you cleanness [05356] of teeth [08127] in all your cities [05892], and want [02640] of bread [03899] in all your places [04725]: yet have ye not returned [07725] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 7 And also I have withholden [04513] the rain [01653] from you, when there were yet three [07969] months [02320] to the harvest [07105]: and I caused it to rain [04305] upon one [0259] city [05892], and caused it not to rain [04305] upon another [0259] city [05892]: one [0259] piece [02513] was rained [04305] upon, and the piece [02513] whereupon it rained [04305] not withered [03001]. 30 4 8 So two [08147] or three [07969] cities [05892] wandered [05128] unto one [0259] city [05892], to drink [08354] water [04325]; but they were not satisfied [07646]: yet have ye not returned [07725] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 9 I have smitten [05221] you with blasting [07711] and mildew [03420]: when your gardens [01593] and your vineyards [03754] and your fig trees [08384] and your olive trees [02132] increased [07235], the palmerworm [01501] devoured [0398] them: yet have ye not returned [07725] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 10 I have sent [07971] among you the pestilence [01698] after the manner [01870] of Egypt [04714]: your young men [0970] have I slain [02026] with the sword [02719], and have taken away [07628] your horses [05483]; and I have made the stink [0889] of your camps [04264] to come up [05927] unto your nostrils [0639]: yet have ye not returned [07725] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 11 I have overthrown [02015] some of you, as God [0430] overthrew [04114] Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017], and ye were as a firebrand [0181] plucked out [05337] of the burning [08316]: yet have ye not returned [07725] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 4 12 Therefore thus will I do [06213] unto thee, O Israel [03478]: and because [06118] I will do [06213] this unto thee, prepare [03559] to meet [07125] thy God [0430], O Israel [03478]. 30 4 13 For, lo, he that formeth [03335] the mountains [02022], and createth [01254] the wind [07307], and declareth [05046] unto man [0120] what is his thought [07808], that maketh [06213] the morning [07837] darkness [05890], and treadeth [01869] upon the high places [01116] of the earth [0776], The LORD [03068], The God [0430] of hosts [06635], is his name [08034]. 30 5 1 Hear [08085] ye this word [01697] which I take up [05375] against you, even a lamentation [07015], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 30 5 2 The virgin [01330] of Israel [03478] is fallen [05307]; she shall no more [03254] rise [06965]: she is forsaken [05203] upon her land [0127]; there is none to raise her up [06965]. 30 5 3 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; The city [05892] that went out [03318] by a thousand [0505] shall leave [07604] an hundred [03967], and that which went forth [03318] by an hundred [03967] shall leave [07604] ten [06235], to the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. 30 5 4 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] unto the house [01004] of Israel [03478], Seek [01875] ye me, and ye shall live [02421]: 30 5 5 But seek [01875] not Bethel [01008], nor enter [0935] into Gilgal [01537], and pass [05674] not to Beersheba [0884]: for Gilgal [01537] shall surely [01540] go into captivity [01540], and Bethel [01008] shall come to nought [0205]. 30 5 6 Seek [01875] the LORD [03068], and ye shall live [02421]; lest he break out [06743] like fire [0784] in the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and devour [0398] it, and there be none to quench [03518] it in Bethel [01008]. 30 5 7 Ye who turn [02015] judgment [04941] to wormwood [03939], and leave off [03240] righteousness [06666] in the earth [0776], 30 5 8 Seek him that maketh [06213] the seven stars [03598] and Orion [03685], and turneth [02015] the shadow of death [06757] into the morning [01242], and maketh the day [03117] dark [02821] with night [03915]: that calleth [07121] for the waters [04325] of the sea [03220], and poureth them out [08210] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0776]: The LORD [03068] is his name [08034]: 30 5 9 That strengtheneth [01082] the spoiled [07701] against the strong [05794], so that the spoiled [07701] shall come [0935] against the fortress [04013]. 30 5 10 They hate [08130] him that rebuketh [03198] in the gate [08179], and they abhor [08581] him that speaketh [01696] uprightly [08549]. 30 5 11 Forasmuch [03282] therefore as your treading [01318] is upon the poor [01800], and ye take [03947] from him burdens [04864] of wheat [01250]: ye have built [01129] houses [01004] of hewn stone [01496], but ye shall not dwell [03427] in them; ye have planted [05193] pleasant [02531] vineyards [03754], but ye shall not drink [08354] wine [03196] of them. 30 5 12 For I know [03045] your manifold [07227] transgressions [06588] and your mighty [06099] sins [02403]: they afflict [06887] the just [06662], they take [03947] a bribe [03724], and they turn aside [05186] the poor [034] in the gate [08179] from their right. 30 5 13 Therefore the prudent [07919] shall keep silence [01826] in that time [06256]; for it is an evil [07451] time [06256]. 30 5 14 Seek [01875] good [02896], and not evil [07451], that ye may live [02421]: and so the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], shall be with you, as ye have spoken [0559]. 30 5 15 Hate [08130] the evil [07451], and love [0157] the good [02896], and establish [03322] judgment [04941] in the gate [08179]: it may be that the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635] will be gracious [02603] unto the remnant [07611] of Joseph [03130]. 30 5 16 Therefore the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of hosts [06635], the Lord [0136], saith [0559] thus; Wailing [04553] shall be in all streets [07339]; and they shall say [0559] in all the highways [02351], Alas [01930]! alas [01930]! and they shall call [07121] the husbandman [0406] to mourning [060], and such as are skilful [03045] of lamentation [05092] to wailing [04553]. 30 5 17 And in all vineyards [03754] shall be wailing [04553]: for I will pass [05674] through [07130] thee, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 30 5 18 Woe [01945] unto you that desire [0183] the day [03117] of the LORD [03068]! to what end [04100] is it for you? the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is darkness [02822], and not light [0216]. 30 5 19 As if a man [0376] did flee [05127] from [06440] a lion [0738], and a bear [01677] met [06293] him; or went [0935] into the house [01004], and leaned [05564] his hand [03027] on the wall [07023], and a serpent [05175] bit [05391] him. 30 5 20 Shall not the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] be darkness [02822], and not light [0216]? even very dark [0651], and no brightness [05051] in it? 30 5 21 I hate [08130], I despise [03988] your feast days [02282], and I will not smell [07306] in your solemn assemblies [06116]. 30 5 22 Though ye offer [05927] me burnt offerings [05930] and your meat offerings [04503], I will not accept [07521] them: neither will I regard [05027] the peace offerings [08002] of your fat beasts [04806]. 30 5 23 Take thou away [05493] from me the noise [01995] of thy songs [07892]; for I will not hear [08085] the melody [02172] of thy viols [05035]. 30 5 24 But let judgment [04941] run down [01556] as waters [04325], and righteousness [06666] as a mighty [0386] stream [05158]. 30 5 25 Have ye offered [05066] unto me sacrifices [02077] and offerings [04503] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], O house [01004] of Israel [03478]? 30 5 26 But ye have borne [05375] the tabernacle [05522] of your Moloch [04428] and Chiun [03594] your images [06754], the star [03556] of your god [0430], which ye made [06213] to yourselves. 30 5 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity [01540] beyond [01973] Damascus [01834], saith [0559] the LORD [03068], whose name [08034] is The God [0430] of hosts [06635]. 30 6 1 Woe [01945] to them that are at ease [07600] in Zion [06726], and trust [0982] in the mountain [02022] of Samaria [08111], which are named [05344] chief [07225] of the nations [01471], to whom the house [01004] of Israel [03478] came [0935] ! 30 6 2 Pass [05674] ye unto Calneh [03641], and see [07200]; and from thence go [03212] ye to Hamath [02574] the great [07227] [02579]: then go down [03381] to Gath [01661] of the Philistines [06430]: be they better [02896] than these kingdoms [04467]? or their border [01366] greater [07227] than your border [01366]? 30 6 3 Ye that put far away [05077] the evil [07451] day [03117], and cause the seat [07675] of violence [02555] to come near [05066]; 30 6 4 That lie [07901] upon beds [04296] of ivory [08127], and stretch [05628] themselves upon their couches [06210], and eat [0398] the lambs [03733] out of the flock [06629], and the calves [05695] out of the midst [08432] of the stall [04770]; 30 6 5 That chant [06527] to the sound [06310] of the viol [05035], and invent [02803] to themselves instruments [03627] of musick [07892], like David [01732]; 30 6 6 That drink [08354] wine [03196] in bowls [04219], and anoint [04886] themselves with the chief [07225] ointments [08081]: but they are not grieved [02470] for the affliction [07667] of Joseph [03130]. 30 6 7 Therefore now shall they go captive [01540] with the first [07218] that go captive [01540], and the banquet [04797] of them that stretched [05628] themselves shall be removed [05493]. 30 6 8 The Lord [0136] GOD [03069] hath sworn [07650] by himself [05315], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] the God [0430] of hosts [06635], I abhor [08374] the excellency [01347] of Jacob [03290], and hate [08130] his palaces [0759]: therefore will I deliver up [05462] the city [05892] with all that is therein [04393]. 30 6 9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain [03498] ten [06235] men [0582] in one [0259] house [01004], that they shall die [04191]. 30 6 10 And a man's uncle [01730] shall take him up [05375], and he that burneth [05635] him, to bring out [03318] the bones [06106] out of the house [01004], and shall say [0559] unto him that is by the sides [03411] of the house [01004], Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say [0559], No [0657]. Then shall he say [0559], Hold thy tongue [02013]: for we may not make mention [02142] of the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 30 6 11 For, behold, the LORD [03068] commandeth [06680], and he will smite [05221] the great [01419] house [01004] with breaches [07447], and the little [06996] house [01004] with clefts [01233]. 30 6 12 Shall horses [05483] run [07323] upon the rock [05553]? will one plow [02790] there with oxen [01241]? for ye have turned [02015] judgment [04941] into gall [07219], and the fruit [06529] of righteousness [06666] into hemlock [03939]: 30 6 13 Ye which rejoice [08056] in a thing [01697] of nought [03808], which say [0559], Have we not taken [03947] to us horns [07161] by our own strength [02392]? 30 6 14 But, behold, I will raise up [06965] against you a nation [01471], O house [01004] of Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] the God [0430] of hosts [06635]; and they shall afflict [03905] you from the entering in [0935] of Hemath [02574] unto the river [05158] of the wilderness [06160]. 30 7 1 Thus hath the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] shewed [07200] unto me; and, behold, he formed [03335] grasshoppers [01462] in the beginning [08462] of the shooting up [05927] of the latter growth [03954]; and, lo, it was the latter growth [03954] after [0310] the king's [04428] mowings [01488]. 30 7 2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end [03615] of eating [0398] the grass [06212] of the land [0776], then I said [0559], O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], forgive [05545], I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob [03290] arise [06965]? for he is small [06996]. 30 7 3 The LORD [03068] repented [05162] for this: It shall not be, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 30 7 4 Thus hath the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] shewed [07200] unto me: and, behold, the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] called [07121] to contend [07378] by fire [0784], and it devoured [0398] the great [07227] deep [08415], and did eat up [0398] a part [02506]. 30 7 5 Then said [0559] I, O Lord [0136] GOD [03069], cease [02308], I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob [03290] arise [06965]? for he is small [06996]. 30 7 6 The LORD [03068] repented [05162] for this: This also shall not be, saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]. 30 7 7 Thus he shewed [07200] me: and, behold, the Lord [0136] stood [05324] upon a wall [02346] made by a plumbline [0594], with a plumbline [0594] in his hand [03027]. 30 7 8 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Amos [05986], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], A plumbline [0594]. Then said [0559] the Lord [0136], Behold, I will set [07760] a plumbline [0594] in the midst [07130] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: I will not again [03254] pass by [05674] them any more: 30 7 9 And the high places [01116] of Isaac [03446] shall be desolate [08074], and the sanctuaries [04720] of Israel [03478] shall be laid waste [02717]; and I will rise [06965] against the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] with the sword [02719]. 30 7 10 Then Amaziah [0558] the priest [03548] of Bethel [01008] sent [07971] to Jeroboam [03379] king [04428] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Amos [05986] hath conspired [07194] against thee in the midst [07130] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]: the land [0776] is not able [03201] to bear [03557] all his words [01697]. 30 7 11 For thus Amos [05986] saith [0559], Jeroboam [03379] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], and Israel [03478] shall surely [01540] be led away captive [01540] out of their own land [0127]. 30 7 12 Also Amaziah [0558] said [0559] unto Amos [05986], O thou seer [02374], go [03212], flee thee away [01272] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], and there eat [0398] bread [03899], and prophesy [05012] there: 30 7 13 But prophesy [05012] not again [03254] any more at Bethel [01008]: for it is the king's [04428] chapel [04720], and it is the king's [04467] court [01004]. 30 7 14 Then answered [06030] Amos [05986], and said [0559] to Amaziah [0558], I was no prophet [05030], neither was I a prophet's [05030] son [01121]; but I was an herdman [0951], and a gatherer [01103] of sycomore fruit [08256]: 30 7 15 And the LORD [03068] took [03947] me as I followed [0310] the flock [06629], and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Go [03212], prophesy [05012] unto my people [05971] Israel [03478]. 30 7 16 Now therefore hear [08085] thou the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]: Thou sayest [0559], Prophesy [05012] not against Israel [03478], and drop [05197] not thy word against the house [01004] of Isaac [03446]. 30 7 17 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Thy wife [0802] shall be an harlot [02181] in the city [05892], and thy sons [01121] and thy daughters [01323] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719], and thy land [0127] shall be divided [02505] by line [02256]; and thou shalt die [04191] in [05921] a polluted [02931] land [0127]: and Israel [03478] shall surely [01540] go into captivity [01540] forth of his land [0127]. 30 8 1 Thus hath the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] shewed [07200] unto me: and behold a basket [03619] of summer fruit [07019]. 30 8 2 And he said [0559], Amos [05986], what seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], A basket [03619] of summer fruit [07019]. Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, The end [07093] is come [0935] upon my people [05971] of Israel [03478]; I will not again [03254] pass [05674] by them any more. 30 8 3 And the songs [07892] of the temple [01964] shall be howlings [03213] in that day [03117], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: there shall be many [07227] dead bodies [06297] in every place [04725]; they shall cast them forth [07993] with silence [02013]. 30 8 4 Hear [08085] this, O ye that swallow up [07602] the needy [034], even to make [07673] the poor [06041] [06035] of the land [0776] to fail [07673], 30 8 5 Saying [0559], When will the new moon [02320] be gone [05674], that we may sell [07666] corn [07668]? and the sabbath [07676], that we may set forth [06605] wheat [01250], making the ephah [0374] small [06994], and the shekel [08255] great [01431], and falsifying [05791] the balances [03976] by deceit [04820]? 30 8 6 That we may buy [07069] the poor [01800] for silver [03701], and the needy [034] for a pair of shoes [05275]; yea, and sell [07666] the refuse [04651] of the wheat [01250]? 30 8 7 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650] by the excellency [01347] of Jacob [03290], Surely I will never [05331] forget [07911] any of their works [04639]. 30 8 8 Shall not the land [0776] tremble [07264] for this, and every one mourn [056] that dwelleth [03427] therein? and it shall rise up [05927] wholly as a flood [02975]; and it shall be cast out [01644] and drowned [08257] [08248], as by the flood [0216] of Egypt [04714]. 30 8 9 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I will cause the sun [08121] to go down [0935] at noon [06672], and I will darken [02821] the earth [0776] in the clear [0216] day [03117]: 30 8 10 And I will turn [02015] your feasts [02282] into mourning [060], and all your songs [07892] into lamentation [07015]; and I will bring up [05927] sackcloth [08242] upon all loins [04975], and baldness [07144] upon every head [07218]; and I will make [07760] it as the mourning [060] of an only [03173] son, and the end [0319] thereof as a bitter [04751] day [03117]. 30 8 11 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I will send [07971] a famine [07458] in the land [0776], not a famine [07458] of bread [03899], nor a thirst [06772] for water [04325], but of hearing [08085] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068]: 30 8 12 And they shall wander [05128] from sea [03220] to sea [03220], and from the north [06828] even to the east [04217], they shall run to and fro [07751] to seek [01245] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], and shall not find [04672] it. 30 8 13 In that day [03117] shall the fair [03303] virgins [01330] and young men [0970] faint [05968] for thirst [06772]. 30 8 14 They that swear [07650] by the sin [0819] of Samaria [08111], and say [0559], Thy god [0430], O Dan [01835], liveth [02416]; and, The manner [01870] of Beersheba [0884] liveth [02416]; even they shall fall [05307], and never rise up [06965] again. 30 9 1 I saw [07200] the Lord [0136] standing [05324] upon the altar [04196]: and he said [0559], Smite [05221] the lintel of the door [03730], that the posts [05592] may shake [07493]: and cut [01214] them in the head [07218], all of them; and I will slay [02026] the last [0319] of them with the sword [02719]: he that fleeth [05127] of them shall not flee away [05127], and he that escapeth [06412] of them shall not be delivered [04422]. 30 9 2 Though they dig [02864] into hell [07585], thence shall mine hand [03027] take [03947] them; though they climb up [05927] to heaven [08064], thence will I bring them down [03381]: 30 9 3 And though they hide [02244] themselves in the top [07218] of Carmel [03760], I will search [02664] and take them out [03947] thence; and though they be hid [05641] from my sight [05869] in the bottom [07172] of the sea [03220], thence will I command [06680] the serpent [05175], and he shall bite [05391] them: 30 9 4 And though they go [03212] into captivity [07628] before [06440] their enemies [0341], thence will I command [06680] the sword [02719], and it shall slay [02026] them: and I will set [07760] mine eyes [05869] upon them for evil [07451], and not for good [02896]. 30 9 5 And the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] is he that toucheth [05060] the land [0776], and it shall melt [04127], and all that dwell [03427] therein shall mourn [056]: and it shall rise up [05927] wholly like a flood [02975]; and shall be drowned [08257], as by the flood [02975] of Egypt [04714]. 30 9 6 It is he that buildeth [01129] his stories [04609] in the heaven [08064], and hath founded [03245] his troop [092] in the earth [0776]; he that calleth [07121] for the waters [04325] of the sea [03220], and poureth them out [08210] upon the face [06440] of the earth [0776]: The LORD [03068] is his name [08034]. 30 9 7 Are ye not as children [01121] of the Ethiopians [03569] unto me, O children [01121] of Israel [03478]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Have not I brought up [05927] Israel [03478] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]? and the Philistines [06430] from Caphtor [03731], and the Syrians [0758] from Kir [07024]? 30 9 8 Behold, the eyes [05869] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] are upon the sinful [02403] kingdom [04467], and I will destroy [08045] it from off the face [06440] of the earth [0127]; saving [0657] that I will not utterly [08045] destroy [08045] the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 30 9 9 For, lo, I will command [06680], and I will sift [05128] the house [01004] of Israel [03478] among all nations [01471], like as corn is sifted [05128] in a sieve [03531], yet shall not the least grain [06872] fall [05307] upon the earth [0776]. 30 9 10 All the sinners [02400] of my people [05971] shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], which say [0559], The evil [07451] shall not overtake [05066] nor prevent [06923] us. 30 9 11 In that day [03117] will I raise up [06965] the tabernacle [05521] of David [01732] that is fallen [05307], and close up [01443] the breaches [06556] thereof; and I will raise up [06965] his ruins [02034], and I will build [01129] it as in the days [03117] of old [05769]: 30 9 12 That they may possess [03423] the remnant [07611] of Edom [0123], and of all the heathen [01471], which are called [07121] by my name [08034], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] that doeth [06213] this. 30 9 13 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that the plowman [02790] shall overtake [05066] the reaper [07114], and the treader [01869] of grapes [06025] him that soweth [04900] seed [02233]; and the mountains [02022] shall drop [05197] sweet wine [06071], and all the hills [01389] shall melt [04127]. 30 9 14 And I will bring again [07725] the captivity [07622] of my people [05971] of Israel [03478], and they shall build [01129] the waste [08074] cities [05892], and inhabit [03427] them; and they shall plant [05193] vineyards [03754], and drink [08354] the wine [03196] thereof; they shall also make [06213] gardens [01593], and eat [0398] the fruit [06529] of them. 30 9 15 And I will plant [05193] them upon their land [0127], and they shall no more be pulled up [05428] out of their land [0127] which I have given [05414] them, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]. 31 1 1 The vision [02377] of Obadiah [05662]. Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] concerning Edom [0123]; We have heard [08085] a rumour [08052] from the LORD [03068], and an ambassador [06735] is sent [07971] among the heathen [01471], Arise [06965] ye, and let us rise up [06965] against her in battle [04421]. 31 1 2 Behold, I have made [05414] thee small [06996] among the heathen [01471]: thou art greatly [03966] despised [0959]. 31 1 3 The pride [02087] of thine heart [03820] hath deceived [05377] thee, thou that dwellest [07931] in the clefts [02288] of the rock [05553], whose habitation [03427] is high [04791]; that saith [0559] in his heart [03820], Who shall bring me down [03381] to the ground [0776]? 31 1 4 Though thou exalt [01361] thyself as the eagle [05404], and though thou set [07760] thy nest [07064] among the stars [03556], thence will I bring thee down [03381], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 31 1 5 If thieves [01590] came [0935] to thee, if robbers [07703] by night [03915], (how art thou cut off [01820] would they not have stolen [01589] till they had enough [01767]? if the grapegatherers [01219] came [0935] to thee, would they not leave [07604] some grapes [05955]? 31 1 6 How are the things of Esau [06215] searched out [02664] ! how are his hidden [04710] things sought up [01158] ! 31 1 7 All the men [0582] of thy confederacy [01285] have brought [07971] thee even to the border [01366]: the men [0582] that were at peace [07965] with thee have deceived [05377] thee, and prevailed [03201] against thee; they that eat thy bread [03899] have laid [07760] a wound [04204] under thee: there is none understanding [08394] in him. 31 1 8 Shall I not in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], even destroy [06] the wise [02450] men out of Edom [0123], and understanding [08394] out of the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]? 31 1 9 And thy mighty [01368] men, O Teman [08487], shall be dismayed [02865], to the end that every one [0376] of the mount [02022] of Esau [06215] may be cut off [03772] by slaughter [06993]. 31 1 10 For thy violence [02555] against thy brother [0251] Jacob [03290] shame [0955] shall cover [03680] thee, and thou shalt be cut off [03772] for ever [05769]. 31 1 11 In the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] on the other side, in the day [03117] that the strangers [02114] carried away captive [07617] his forces [02428], and foreigners [05237] entered [0935] into his gates [08179], and cast [03032] lots [01486] upon Jerusalem [03389], even thou wast as one [0259] of them. 31 1 12 But thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on the day [03117] of thy brother [0251] in the day [03117] that he became a stranger [05235]; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced [08055] over the children [01121] of Judah [03063] in the day [03117] of their destruction [06]; neither shouldest thou have spoken [06310] proudly [01431] in the day [03117] of distress [06869]. 31 1 13 Thou shouldest not have entered [0935] into the gate [08179] of my people [05971] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343]; yea, thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on their affliction [07451] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343], nor have laid [07971] hands on their substance [02428] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343]; 31 1 14 Neither shouldest thou have stood [05975] in the crossway [06563], to cut off [03772] those of his that did escape [06412]; neither shouldest thou have delivered up [05462] those of his that did remain [08300] in the day [03117] of distress [06869]. 31 1 15 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138] upon all the heathen [01471]: as thou hast done [06213], it shall be done [06213] unto thee: thy reward [01576] shall return [07725] upon thine own head [07218]. 31 1 16 For as ye have drunk [08354] upon my holy [06944] mountain [02022], so shall all the heathen [01471] drink [08354] continually [08548], yea, they shall drink [08354], and they shall swallow down [03886], and they shall be as though they had not [03808] been. 31 1 17 But upon mount [02022] Zion [06726] shall be deliverance [06413], and there shall be holiness [06944]; and the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall possess [03423] their possessions [04180]. 31 1 18 And the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall be a fire [0784], and the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] a flame [03852], and the house [01004] of Esau [06215] for stubble [07179], and they shall kindle [01814] in them, and devour [0398] them; and there shall not be any remaining [08300] of the house [01004] of Esau [06215]; for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it. 31 1 19 And they of the south [05045] shall possess [03423] the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]; and they of the plain [08219] the Philistines [06430]: and they shall possess [03423] the fields [07704] of Ephraim [0669], and the fields [07704] of Samaria [08111]: and Benjamin [01144] shall possess Gilead [01568]. 31 1 20 And the captivity [01546] of this host [02426] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] shall possess that of the Canaanites [03669], even unto Zarephath [06886]; and the captivity [01546] of Jerusalem [03389], which is in Sepharad [05614], shall possess [03423] the cities [05892] of the south [05045]. 31 1 21 And saviours [03467] shall come up [05927] on mount [02022] Zion [06726] to judge [08199] the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]; and the kingdom [04410] shall be the LORD'S [03068]. 32 1 1 Now the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jonah [03124] the son [01121] of Amittai [0573], saying [0559], 32 1 2 Arise [06965], go [03212] to Nineveh [05210], that great [01419] city [05892], and cry [07121] against it; for their wickedness [07451] is come up [05927] before [06440] me. 32 1 3 But Jonah [03124] rose up [06965] to flee [01272] unto Tarshish [08659] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], and went down [03381] to Joppa [03305]; and he found [04672] a ship [0591] going [0935] to Tarshish [08659]: so he paid [05414] the fare [07939] thereof, and went down [03381] into it, to go [0935] with them unto Tarshish [08659] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068]. 32 1 4 But the LORD [03068] sent out [02904] a great [01419] wind [07307] into the sea [03220], and there was a mighty [01419] tempest [05591] in the sea [03220], so that the ship [0591] was like [02803] to be broken [07665]. 32 1 5 Then the mariners [04419] were afraid [03372], and cried [02199] every man [0376] unto his god [0430], and cast forth [02904] the wares [03627] that were in the ship [0591] into the sea [03220], to lighten [07043] it of them. But Jonah [03124] was gone down [03381] into the sides [03411] of the ship [05600]; and he lay [07901], and was fast asleep [07290]. 32 1 6 So the shipmaster [07227] [02259] came [07126] to him, and said [0559] unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper [07290]? arise [06965], call [07121] upon thy God [0430], if so be that God [0430] will think [06245] upon us, that we perish [06] not. 32 1 7 And they said [0559] every one [0376] to his fellow [07453], Come [03212], and let us cast [05307] lots [01486], that we may know [03045] for whose cause [07945] this evil [07451] is upon us. So they cast [05307] lots [01486], and the lot [01486] fell [05307] upon Jonah [03124]. 32 1 8 Then said [0559] they unto him, Tell [05046] us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil [07451] is upon us; What is thine occupation [04399]? and whence [0370] comest [0935] thou? what is thy country [0776]? and of what people [05971] art thou? 32 1 9 And he said [0559] unto them, I am an Hebrew [05680]; and I fear [03373] the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of heaven [08064], which hath made [06213] the sea [03220] and the dry [03004] land. 32 1 10 Then were the men [0582] exceedingly [01419] [03374] afraid [03372], and said [0559] unto him, Why hast thou done [06213] this? For the men [0582] knew [03045] that he fled [01272] from the presence [06440] of the LORD [03068], because he had told [05046] them. 32 1 11 Then said [0559] they unto him, What shall we do [06213] unto thee, that the sea [03220] may be calm [08367] unto us? for the sea [03220] wrought [01980], and was tempestuous [05590]. 32 1 12 And he said [0559] unto them, Take me up [05375], and cast me forth [02904] into the sea [03220]; so shall the sea [03220] be calm [08367] unto you: for I know [03045] that for my sake [07945] this great [01419] tempest [05591] is upon you. 32 1 13 Nevertheless the men [0582] rowed hard [02864] to bring [07725] it to the land [03004]; but they could [03201] not: for the sea [03220] wrought [01980], and was tempestuous [05590] against them. 32 1 14 Wherefore they cried [07121] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], We beseech thee [0577], O LORD [03068], we beseech thee, let us not perish [06] for this man's [0376] life [05315], and lay [05414] not upon us innocent [05355] [05355] blood [01818]: for thou, O LORD [03068], hast done [06213] as it pleased [02654] thee. 32 1 15 So they took up [05375] Jonah [03124], and cast him forth [02904] into the sea [03220]: and the sea [03220] ceased [05975] from her raging [02197]. 32 1 16 Then the men [0582] feared [03372] the LORD [03068] exceedingly [01419] [03374], and offered [02076] a sacrifice [02077] unto the LORD [03068], and made [05087] vows [05088]. 32 1 17 Now the LORD [03068] had prepared [04487] a great [01419] fish [01709] to swallow up [01104] Jonah [03124]. And Jonah [03124] was in the belly [04578] of the fish [01709] three [07969] days [03117] and three [07969] nights [03915]. 32 2 1 Then Jonah [03124] prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068] his God [0430] out of the fish's [01710] belly [04578], 32 2 2 And said [0559], I cried [07121] by reason of mine affliction [06869] unto the LORD [03068], and he heard [06030] me; out of the belly [0990] of hell [07585] cried [07768] I, and thou heardest [08085] my voice [06963]. 32 2 3 For thou hadst cast [07993] me into the deep [04688], in the midst [03824] of the seas [03220]; and the floods [05104] compassed [05437] me about: all thy billows [04867] and thy waves [01530] passed over [05674] me. 32 2 4 Then I said [0559], I am cast out [01644] of thy sight [05869]; yet I will look [05027] again [03254] toward thy holy [06944] temple [01964]. 32 2 5 The waters [04325] compassed me about [0661], even to the soul [05315]: the depth [08415] closed me round about [05437], the weeds [05488] were wrapped about [02280] my head [07218]. 32 2 6 I went down [03381] to the bottoms [07095] of the mountains [02022]; the earth [0776] with her bars [01280] was about me for ever [05769]: yet hast thou brought up [05927] my life [02416] from corruption [07845], O LORD [03068] my God [0430]. 32 2 7 When my soul [05315] fainted [05848] within me I remembered [02142] the LORD [03068]: and my prayer [08605] came in [0935] unto thee, into thine holy [06944] temple [01964]. 32 2 8 They that observe [08104] lying [07723] vanities [01892] forsake [05800] their own mercy [02617]. 32 2 9 But I will sacrifice [02076] unto thee with the voice [06963] of thanksgiving [08426]; I will pay [07999] that that I have vowed [05087]. Salvation [03444] is of the LORD [03068]. 32 2 10 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto the fish [01709], and it vomited out [06958] Jonah [03124] upon the dry [03004] land. 32 3 1 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Jonah [03124] the second [08145] time, saying [0559], 32 3 2 Arise [06965], go [03212] unto Nineveh [05210], that great [01419] city [05892], and preach [07121] unto it the preaching [07150] that I bid [01696] thee. 32 3 3 So Jonah [03124] arose [06965], and went [03212] unto Nineveh [05210], according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. Now Nineveh [05210] was an exceeding [0430] great [01419] city [05892] of three [07969] days [03117]' journey [04109]. 32 3 4 And Jonah [03124] began [02490] to enter [0935] into the city [05892] a [0259] day's [03117] journey [04109], and he cried [07121], and said [0559], Yet forty [0705] days [03117], and Nineveh [05210] shall be overthrown [02015]. 32 3 5 So the people [0582] of Nineveh [05210] believed [0539] God [0430], and proclaimed [07121] a fast [06685], and put [03847] on sackcloth [08242], from the greatest [01419] of them even to the least [06996] of them. 32 3 6 For word [01697] came [05060] unto the king [04428] of Nineveh [05210], and he arose [06965] from his throne [03678], and he laid [05674] his robe [0155] from him, and covered [03680] him with sackcloth [08242], and sat [03427] in ashes [0665]. 32 3 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed [02199] and published [0559] through Nineveh [05210] by the decree [02940] of the king [04428] and his nobles [01419], saying [0559], Let neither man [0120] nor beast [0929], herd [01241] nor flock [06629], taste [02938] any thing [03972]: let them not feed [07462], nor drink [08354] water [04325]: 32 3 8 But let man [0120] and beast [0929] be covered [03680] with sackcloth [08242], and cry [07121] mightily [02394] unto God [0430]: yea, let them turn [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and from the violence [02555] that is in their hands [03709]. 32 3 9 Who can tell [03045] if God [0430] will turn [07725] and repent [05162], and turn away [07725] from his fierce [02740] anger [0639], that we perish [06] not? 32 3 10 And God [0430] saw [07200] their works [04639], that they turned [07725] from their evil [07451] way [01870]; and God [0430] repented [05162] of the evil [07451], that he had said [01696] that he would do [06213] unto them; and he did [06213] it not. 32 4 1 But it displeased [03415] Jonah [03124] exceedingly [01419] [07451], and he was very angry [02734]. 32 4 2 And he prayed [06419] unto the LORD [03068], and said [0559], I pray [0577] thee, O LORD [03068], was not this my saying [01697], when I was yet in my country [0127]? Therefore I fled [01272] before [06923] unto Tarshish [08659]: for I knew [03045] that thou art a gracious [02587] God [0410], and merciful [07349], slow [0750] to anger [0639], and of great [07227] kindness [02617], and repentest [05162] thee of the evil [07451]. 32 4 3 Therefore now, O LORD [03068], take [03947], I beseech thee, my life [05315] from me; for it is better [02896] for me to die [04194] than to live [02416]. 32 4 4 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068], Doest thou well [03190] to be angry [02734]? 32 4 5 So Jonah [03124] went out [03318] of the city [05892], and sat [03427] on the east side [06924] of the city [05892], and there made [06213] him a booth [05521], and sat [03427] under it in the shadow [06738], till he might see [07200] what would become of the city [05892]. 32 4 6 And the LORD [03068] God [0430] prepared [04487] a gourd [07021], and made it to come up [05927] over Jonah [03124], that it might be a shadow [06738] over his head [07218], to deliver [05337] him from his grief [07451]. So Jonah [03124] was exceeding [01419] [08057] glad [08055] of the gourd [07021]. 32 4 7 But God [0430] prepared [04487] a worm [08438] when the morning [07837] rose [05927] the next day [04283], and it smote [05221] the gourd [07021] that it withered [03001]. 32 4 8 And it came to pass, when the sun [08121] did arise [02224], that God [0430] prepared [04487] a vehement [02759] east [06921] wind [07307]; and the sun [08121] beat [05221] upon the head [07218] of Jonah [03124], that he fainted [05968], and wished [07592] in himself [05315] to die [04191], and said [0559], It is better [02896] for me to die [04194] than to live [02416]. 32 4 9 And God [0430] said [0559] to Jonah [03124], Doest thou well [03190] to be angry [02734] for the gourd [07021]? And he said [0559], I do well [03190] to be angry [02734], even unto death [04194]. 32 4 10 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068], Thou hast had pity [02347] on the gourd [07021], for the which thou hast not laboured [05998], neither madest it grow [01431]; which came up in a night [01121] [03915], and perished [06] in a night [01121] [03915]: 32 4 11 And should not I spare [02347] Nineveh [05210], that great [01419] city [05892], wherein are [03426] more [07235] than sixscore [08147] [06240] thousand [07239] persons [0120] that cannot discern [03045] between their right hand [03225] and their left hand [08040]; and also much [07227] cattle [0929]? 33 1 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] that came to Micah [04318] the Morasthite [04183] in the days [03117] of Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063], which he saw [02372] concerning Samaria [08111] and Jerusalem [03389]. 33 1 2 Hear [08085], all ye people [05971]; hearken [07181], O earth [0776], and all that therein [04393] is: and let the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] be witness [05707] against you, the Lord [0136] from his holy [06944] temple [01964]. 33 1 3 For, behold, the LORD [03068] cometh forth [03318] out of his place [04725], and will come down [03381], and tread [01869] upon the high places [01116] of the earth [0776]. 33 1 4 And the mountains [02022] shall be molten [04549] under him, and the valleys [06010] shall be cleft [01234], as wax [01749] before [06440] the fire [0784], and as the waters [04325] that are poured [05064] down a steep place [04174]. 33 1 5 For the transgression [06588] of Jacob [03290] is all this, and for the sins [02403] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]. What is the transgression [06588] of Jacob [03290]? is it not Samaria [08111]? and what are the high places [01116] of Judah [03063]? are they not Jerusalem [03389]? 33 1 6 Therefore I will make [07760] Samaria [08111] as an heap [05856] of the field [07704], and as plantings [04302] of a vineyard [03754]: and I will pour down [05064] the stones [068] thereof into the valley [01516], and I will discover [01540] the foundations [03247] thereof. 33 1 7 And all the graven images [06456] thereof shall be beaten to pieces [03807], and all the hires [0868] thereof shall be burned [08313] with the fire [0784], and all the idols [06091] thereof will I lay [07760] desolate [08077]: for she gathered [06908] it of the hire [0868] of an harlot [02181], and they shall return [07725] to the hire [0868] of an harlot [02181]. 33 1 8 Therefore I will wail [05594] and howl [03213], I will go [03212] stripped [07758] [07758] and naked [06174]: I will make [06213] a wailing [04553] like the dragons [08577], and mourning [060] as the owls [01323] [03284]. 33 1 9 For her wound [04347] is incurable [0605]; for it is come [0935] unto Judah [03063]; he is come [05060] unto the gate [08179] of my people [05971], even to Jerusalem [03389]. 33 1 10 Declare [05046] ye it not at Gath [01661], weep [01058] ye not at all [01058]: in the house of Aphrah [01036] roll [06428] [06428] thyself in the dust [06083]. 33 1 11 Pass ye away [05674], thou inhabitant [03427] of Saphir [08208], having thy shame [01322] naked [06181]: the inhabitant [03427] of Zaanan [06630] came not forth [03318] in the mourning [04553] of Bethezel [01018]; he shall receive [03947] of you his standing [05979]. 33 1 12 For the inhabitant [03427] of Maroth [04796] waited carefully [02342] for good [02896]: but evil [07451] came down [03381] from the LORD [03068] unto the gate [08179] of Jerusalem [03389]. 33 1 13 O thou inhabitant [03427] of Lachish [03923], bind [07573] the chariot [04818] to the swift beast [07409]: she is the beginning [07225] of the sin [02403] to the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: for the transgressions [06588] of Israel [03478] were found [04672] in thee. 33 1 14 Therefore shalt thou give [05414] presents [07964] to Moreshethgath [04182]: the houses [01004] of Achzib [0392] shall be a lie [0391] to the kings [04428] of Israel [03478]. 33 1 15 Yet will I bring [0935] an heir [03423] unto thee, O inhabitant [03427] of Mareshah [04762]: he shall come [0935] unto Adullam [05725] the glory [03519] of Israel [03478]. 33 1 16 Make thee bald [07139], and poll [01494] thee for thy delicate [08588] children [01121]; enlarge [07337] thy baldness [07144] as the eagle [05404]; for they are gone into captivity [01540] from thee. 33 2 1 Woe [01945] to them that devise [02803] iniquity [0205], and work [06466] evil [07451] upon their beds [04904]! when the morning [01242] is light [0216], they practise [06213] it, because it is [03426] in the power [0410] of their hand [03027]. 33 2 2 And they covet [02530] fields [07704], and take them by violence [01497]; and houses [01004], and take them away [05375]: so they oppress [06231] a man [01397] and his house [01004], even a man [0376] and his heritage [05159]. 33 2 3 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, against this family [04940] do I devise [02803] an evil [07451], from which ye shall not remove [04185] your necks [06677]; neither shall ye go [03212] haughtily [07317]: for this time [06256] is evil [07451]. 33 2 4 In that day [03117] shall one take up [05375] a parable [04912] against you, and lament [05091] with a doleful [05093] lamentation [05092], and say [0559], We be utterly [07703] spoiled [07703]: he hath changed [04171] the portion [02506] of my people [05971]: how hath he removed [04185] it from me! turning away [07725] he hath divided [02505] our fields [07704]. 33 2 5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast [07993] a cord [02256] by lot [01486] in the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]. 33 2 6 Prophesy [05197] ye not, say they to them that prophesy [05197]: they shall not prophesy [05197] to them, that they shall not take [05253] shame [03639]. 33 2 7 O thou that art named [0559] the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], is the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068] straitened [07114]? are these his doings [04611]? do not my words [01697] do good [03190] to him that walketh [01980] uprightly [03477]? 33 2 8 Even of late [0865] my people [05971] is risen up [06965] as an enemy [0341]: ye pull off [06584] the robe [0145] with [04136] the garment [08008] from them that pass [05674] by securely [0983] as men averse [07725] from war [04421]. 33 2 9 The women [0802] of my people [05971] have ye cast out [01644] from their pleasant [08588] houses [01004]; from their children [05768] have ye taken away [03947] my glory [01926] for ever [05769]. 33 2 10 Arise [06965] ye, and depart [03212]; for this is not your rest [04496]: because it is polluted [02930], it shall destroy [02254] you, even with a sore [04834] destruction [02256]. 33 2 11 If [03863] a man [0376] walking [01980] in the spirit [07307] and falsehood [08267] do lie [03576], saying, I will prophesy [05197] unto thee of wine [03196] and of strong drink [07941]; he shall even be the prophet [05197] of this people [05971]. 33 2 12 I will surely [0622] assemble [0622], O Jacob [03290], all of thee; I will surely [06908] gather [06908] the remnant [07611] of Israel [03478]; I will put [07760] them together [03162] as the sheep [06629] of Bozrah [01223] [01224], as the flock [05739] in the midst [08432] of their fold [01699]: they shall make great noise [01949] by reason of the multitude of men [0120]. 33 2 13 The breaker [06555] is come up [05927] before [06440] them: they have broken up [06555], and have passed through [05674] the gate [08179], and are gone out [03318] by it: and their king [04428] shall pass [05674] before [06440] them, and the LORD [03068] on the head [07218] of them. 33 3 1 And I said [0559], Hear [08085], I pray you, O heads [07218] of Jacob [03290], and ye princes [07101] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478]; Is it not for you to know [03045] judgment [04941]? 33 3 2 Who hate [08130] the good [02896], and love [0157] the evil [07451]; who pluck off [01497] their skin [05785] from off them, and their flesh [07607] from off their bones [06106]; 33 3 3 Who also eat [0398] the flesh [07607] of my people [05971], and flay [06584] their skin [05785] from off them; and they break [06476] their bones [06106], and chop them in pieces [06566], as for the pot [05518], and as flesh [01320] within [08432] the caldron [07037]. 33 3 4 Then shall they cry [02199] unto the LORD [03068], but he will not hear [06030] them: he will even hide [05641] his face [06440] from them at that time [06256], as they have behaved themselves ill [07489] in their doings [04611]. 33 3 5 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning the prophets [05030] that make my people [05971] err [08582], that bite [05391] with their teeth [08127], and cry [07121], Peace [07965]; and he that putteth [05414] not into their mouths [06310], they even prepare [06942] war [04421] against him. 33 3 6 Therefore night [03915] shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision [02377]; and it shall be dark [02821] [02821] unto you, that ye shall not divine [07080]; and the sun [08121] shall go down [0935] over the prophets [05030], and the day [03117] shall be dark [06937] over them. 33 3 7 Then shall the seers [02374] be ashamed [0954], and the diviners [07080] confounded [02659]: yea, they shall all cover [05844] their lips [08222]; for there is no answer [04617] of God [0430]. 33 3 8 But truly [0199] I am full [04390] of power [03581] by the spirit [07307] of the LORD [03068], and of judgment [04941], and of might [01369], to declare [05046] unto Jacob [03290] his transgression [06588], and to Israel [03478] his sin [02403]. 33 3 9 Hear [08085] this, I pray you, ye heads [07218] of the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and princes [07101] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], that abhor [08581] judgment [04941], and pervert [06140] all equity [03477]. 33 3 10 They build up [01129] Zion [06726] with blood [01818], and Jerusalem [03389] with iniquity [05766]. 33 3 11 The heads [07218] thereof judge [08199] for reward [07810], and the priests [03548] thereof teach [03384] for hire [04242], and the prophets [05030] thereof divine [07080] for money [03701]: yet will they lean [08172] upon the LORD [03068], and say [0559], Is not the LORD [03068] among [07130] us? none evil [07451] can come [0935] upon us. 33 3 12 Therefore shall Zion [06726] for your sake [01558] be plowed [02790] as a field [07704], and Jerusalem [03389] shall become heaps [05856], and the mountain [02022] of the house [01004] as the high places [01116] of the forest [03293]. 33 4 1 But in the last [0319] days [03117] it shall come to pass, that the mountain [02022] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] shall be established [03559] in the top [07218] of the mountains [02022], and it shall be exalted [05375] above the hills [01389]; and people [05971] shall flow [05102] unto it. 33 4 2 And many [07227] nations [01471] shall come [01980], and say [0559], Come [03212], and let us go up [05927] to the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068], and to the house [01004] of the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]; and he will teach [03384] us of his ways [01870], and we will walk [03212] in his paths [0734]: for the law [08451] shall go forth [03318] of Zion [06726], and the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] from Jerusalem [03389]. 33 4 3 And he shall judge [08199] among many [07227] people [05971], and rebuke [03198] strong [06099] nations [01471] afar off [07350]; and they shall beat [03807] their swords [02719] into plowshares [0855], and their spears [02595] into pruninghooks [04211]: nation [01471] shall not lift up [05375] a sword [02719] against nation [01471], neither shall they learn [03925] war [04421] any more. 33 4 4 But they shall sit [03427] every man [0376] under his vine [01612] and under his fig tree [08384]; and none shall make them afraid [02729]: for the mouth [06310] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath spoken [01696] it. 33 4 5 For all people [05971] will walk [03212] every one [0376] in the name [08034] of his god [0430], and we will walk [03212] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430] for ever [05769] and ever [05703]. 33 4 6 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], will I assemble [0622] her that halteth [06760], and I will gather [06908] her that is driven out [05080], and her that I have afflicted [07489]; 33 4 7 And I will make [07760] her that halted [06760] a remnant [07611], and her that was cast far off [01972] a strong [06099] nation [01471]: and the LORD [03068] shall reign [04427] over them in mount [02022] Zion [06726] from henceforth, even for [05704] ever [05769]. 33 4 8 And thou, O tower [04026] of the flock [05739] [04029], the strong hold [06076] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], unto thee shall it come [0857], even the first [07223] dominion [04475]; the kingdom [04467] shall come [0935] to the daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]. 33 4 9 Now why dost thou cry [07321] out aloud [07452]? is there no king [04428] in thee? is thy counsellor [03289] perished [06]? for pangs [02427] have taken [02388] thee as a woman in travail [03205]. 33 4 10 Be in pain [02342], and labour to bring forth [01518], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726], like a woman in travail [03205]: for now shalt thou go forth [03318] out of the city [07151], and thou shalt dwell [07931] in the field [07704], and thou shalt go [0935] even to Babylon [0894]; there shalt thou be delivered [05337]; there the LORD [03068] shall redeem [01350] thee from the hand [03709] of thine enemies [0341]. 33 4 11 Now also many [07227] nations [01471] are gathered [0622] against thee, that say [0559], Let her be defiled [02610], and let our eye [05869] look [02372] upon Zion [06726]. 33 4 12 But they know [03045] not the thoughts [04284] of the LORD [03068], neither understand [0995] they his counsel [06098]: for he shall gather [06908] them as the sheaves [05995] into the floor [01637]. 33 4 13 Arise [06965] and thresh [01758], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: for I will make [07760] thine horn [07161] iron [01270], and I will make [07760] thy hoofs [06541] brass [05154]: and thou shalt beat in pieces [01854] many [07227] people [05971]: and I will consecrate [02763] their gain [01215] unto the LORD [03068], and their substance [02428] unto the Lord [0113] of the whole earth [0776]. 33 5 1 Now gather [01413] thyself in troops [01416], O daughter [01323] of troops [01416]: he hath laid [07760] siege [04692] against us: they shall smite [05221] the judge [08199] of Israel [03478] with a rod [07626] upon the cheek [03895]. 33 5 2 But thou, Bethlehem [01035] Ephratah [0672], though thou be little [06810] among the thousands [0505] of Judah [03063], yet out of thee shall he come forth [03318] unto me that is to be ruler [04910] in Israel [03478]; whose goings forth [04163] have been from of old [06924], from everlasting [03117] [05769]. 33 5 3 Therefore will he give them up [05414], until the time [06256] that she which travaileth [03205] hath brought forth [03205]: then the remnant [03499] of his brethren [0251] shall return [07725] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478]. 33 5 4 And he shall stand [05975] and feed [07462] in the strength [05797] of the LORD [03068], in the majesty [01347] of the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430]; and they shall abide [03427]: for now shall he be great [01431] unto the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]. 33 5 5 And this man shall be the peace [07965], when the Assyrian [0804] shall come [0935] into our land [0776]: and when he shall tread [01869] in our palaces [0759], then shall we raise [06965] against him seven [07651] shepherds [07462], and eight [08083] principal [05257] men [0120]. 33 5 6 And they shall waste [07462] the land [0776] of Assyria [0804] with the sword [02719], and the land [0776] of Nimrod [05248] in the entrances [06607] thereof: thus shall he deliver [05337] us from the Assyrian [0804], when he cometh [0935] into our land [0776], and when he treadeth [01869] within our borders [01366]. 33 5 7 And the remnant [07611] of Jacob [03290] shall be in the midst [07130] of many [07227] people [05971] as a dew [02919] from the LORD [03068], as the showers [07241] upon the grass [06212], that tarrieth [06960] not for man [0376], nor waiteth [03176] for the sons [01121] of men [0120]. 33 5 8 And the remnant [07611] of Jacob [03290] shall be among the Gentiles [01471] in the midst [07130] of many [07227] people [05971] as a lion [0738] among the beasts [0929] of the forest [03293], as a young lion [03715] among the flocks [05739] of sheep [06629]: who, if he go through [05674], both treadeth down [07429], and teareth in pieces [02963], and none can deliver [05337]. 33 5 9 Thine hand [03027] shall be lifted up [07311] upon thine adversaries [06862], and all thine enemies [0341] shall be cut off [03772]. 33 5 10 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will cut off [03772] thy horses [05483] out of the midst [07130] of thee, and I will destroy [06] thy chariots [04818]: 33 5 11 And I will cut off [03772] the cities [06145] [05892] of thy land [0776], and throw down [02040] all thy strong holds [04013]: 33 5 12 And I will cut off [03772] witchcrafts [03785] out of thine hand [03027]; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers [06049]: 33 5 13 Thy graven images [06456] also will I cut off [03772], and thy standing images [04676] out of the midst [07130] of thee; and thou shalt no more worship [07812] the work [04639] of thine hands [03027]. 33 5 14 And I will pluck up [05428] thy groves [0842] out of the midst [07130] of thee: so will I destroy [08045] thy cities [06145] [05892]. 33 5 15 And I will execute [06213] vengeance [05359] in anger [0639] and fury [02534] upon the heathen [01471], such as they have not heard [08085]. 33 6 1 Hear [08085] ye now what the LORD [03068] saith [0559]; Arise [06965], contend [07378] thou before the mountains [02022], and let the hills [01389] hear [08085] thy voice [06963]. 33 6 2 Hear [08085] ye, O mountains [02022], the LORD'S [03068] controversy [07379], and ye strong [0386] foundations [04146] of the earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath a controversy [07379] with his people [05971], and he will plead [03198] with Israel [03478]. 33 6 3 O my people [05971], what have I done [06213] unto thee? and wherein have I wearied [03811] thee? testify [06030] against me. 33 6 4 For I brought thee up [05927] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and redeemed [06299] thee out of the house [01004] of servants [05650]; and I sent [07971] before [06440] thee Moses [04872], Aaron [0175], and Miriam [04813]. 33 6 5 O my people [05971], remember [02142] now what Balak [01111] king [04428] of Moab [04124] consulted [03289], and what Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] answered [06030] him from Shittim [07851] unto Gilgal [01537]; that ye may know [03045] the righteousness [06666] of the LORD [03068]. 33 6 6 Wherewith shall I come before [06923] the LORD [03068], and bow [03721] myself before the high [04791] God [0430]? shall I come before [06923] him with burnt offerings [05930], with calves [05695] of a year [08141] old [01121]? 33 6 7 Will the LORD [03068] be pleased [07521] with thousands [0505] of rams [0352], or with ten thousands [07233] of rivers [05158] of oil [08081]? shall I give [05414] my firstborn [01060] for my transgression [06588], the fruit [06529] of my body [0990] for the sin [02403] of my soul [05315]? 33 6 8 He hath shewed [05046] thee, O man [0120], what is good [02896]; and what doth the LORD [03068] require [01875] of thee, but to do [06213] justly [04941], and to love [0160] mercy [02617], and to walk [03212] humbly [06800] with thy God [0430]? 33 6 9 The LORD'S [03068] voice [06963] crieth [07121] unto the city [05892], and the man of wisdom [08454] shall see [07200] thy name [08034]: hear [08085] ye the rod [04294], and who hath appointed [03259] it. 33 6 10 Are there [0786] yet the treasures [0214] of wickedness [07562] [0376] in the house [01004] of the wicked [07563], and the scant [07332] measure [0374] that is abominable [02194]? 33 6 11 Shall I count them pure [02135] with the wicked [07562] balances [03976], and with the bag [03599] of deceitful [04820] weights [068]? 33 6 12 For the rich men [06223] thereof are full [04390] of violence [02555], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof have spoken [01696] lies [08267], and their tongue [03956] is deceitful [07423] in their mouth [06310]. 33 6 13 Therefore also will I make thee sick [02470] in smiting [05221] thee, in making thee desolate [08074] because of thy sins [02403]. 33 6 14 Thou shalt eat [0398], but not be satisfied [07646]; and thy casting down [03445] shall be in the midst [07130] of thee; and thou shalt take hold [05253], but shalt not deliver [06403]; and that which thou deliverest [06403] will I give up [05414] to the sword [02719]. 33 6 15 Thou shalt sow [02232], but thou shalt not reap [07114]; thou shalt tread [01869] the olives [02132], but thou shalt not anoint [05480] thee with oil [08081]; and sweet wine [08492], but shalt not drink [08354] wine [03196]. 33 6 16 For the statutes [02708] of Omri [06018] are kept [08104], and all the works [04639] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and ye walk [03212] in their counsels [04156]; that I should make [05414] thee a desolation [08047], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof an hissing [08322]: therefore ye shall bear [05375] the reproach [02781] of my people [05971]. 33 7 1 Woe [0480] is me! for I am as when they have gathered [0625] the summer fruits [07019], as the grapegleanings [05955] of the vintage [01210]: there is no cluster [0811] to eat [0398]: my soul [05315] desired [0183] the firstripe fruit [01063]. 33 7 2 The good [02623] man is perished [06] out of the earth [0776]: and there is none upright [03477] among men [0120]: they all lie in wait [0693] for blood [01818]; they hunt [06679] every man [0376] his brother [0251] with a net [02764]. 33 7 3 That they may do evil [07451] with both hands [03709] earnestly [03190], the prince [08269] asketh [07592], and the judge [08199] asketh for a reward [07966]; and the great [01419] man, he uttereth [01696] his mischievous [01942] desire [05315]: so they wrap it up [05686]. 33 7 4 The best [02896] of them is as a brier [02312]: the most upright [03477] is sharper than a thorn hedge [04534]: the day [03117] of thy watchmen [06822] and thy visitation [06486] cometh [0935]; now shall be their perplexity [03998]. 33 7 5 Trust [0539] ye not in a friend [07453], put ye not confidence [0982] in a guide [0441]: keep [08104] the doors [06607] of thy mouth [06310] from her that lieth [07901] in thy bosom [02436]. 33 7 6 For the son [01121] dishonoureth [05034] the father [01], the daughter [01323] riseth up [06965] against her mother [0517], the daughter in law [03618] against her mother in law [02545]; a man's [0376] enemies [0341] are the men [0582] of his own house [01004]. 33 7 7 Therefore I will look [06822] unto the LORD [03068]; I will wait [03176] for the God [0430] of my salvation [03468]: my God [0430] will hear [08085] me. 33 7 8 Rejoice [08055] not against me, O mine enemy [0341]: when I fall [05307], I shall arise [06965]; when I sit [03427] in darkness [02822], the LORD [03068] shall be a light [0216] unto me. 33 7 9 I will bear [05375] the indignation [02197] of the LORD [03068], because I have sinned [02398] against him, until he plead [07378] my cause [07379], and execute [06213] judgment [04941] for me: he will bring me forth [03318] to the light [0216], and I shall behold [07200] his righteousness [06666]. 33 7 10 Then she that is mine enemy [0341] shall see [07200] it, and shame [0955] shall cover [03680] her which said [0559] unto me, Where is the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]? mine eyes [05869] shall behold [07200] her: now shall she be trodden down [04823] as the mire [02916] of the streets [02351]. 33 7 11 In the day [03117] that thy walls [01447] are to be built [01129], in that day [03117] shall the decree [02706] be far removed [07368]. 33 7 12 In that day [03117] also he shall come [0935] even to thee from Assyria [0804], and from the fortified [04693] cities [05892], and from the fortress [04693] even to the river [05104], and from sea [03220] to sea [03220], and from mountain [02022] to mountain [02022]. 33 7 13 Notwithstanding the land [0776] shall be desolate [08077] because of them that dwell [03427] therein, for the fruit [06529] of their doings [04611]. 33 7 14 Feed [07462] thy people [05971] with thy rod [07626], the flock [06629] of thine heritage [05159], which dwell [07931] solitarily [0910] in the wood [03293], in the midst [08432] of Carmel [03760]: let them feed [07462] in Bashan [01316] and Gilead [01568], as in the days [03117] of old [05769]. 33 7 15 According to the days [03117] of thy coming [03318] out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] will I shew [07200] unto him marvellous [06381] things. 33 7 16 The nations [01471] shall see [07200] and be confounded [0954] at all their might [01369]: they shall lay [07760] their hand [03027] upon their mouth [06310], their ears [0241] shall be deaf [02790]. 33 7 17 They shall lick [03897] the dust [06083] like a serpent [05175], they shall move [07264] out of their holes [04526] like worms [02119] of the earth [0776]: they shall be afraid [06342] of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], and shall fear [03372] because of thee. 33 7 18 Who is a God [0410] like unto thee, that pardoneth [05375] iniquity [05771], and passeth by [05674] the transgression [06588] of the remnant [07611] of his heritage [05159]? he retaineth [02388] not his anger [0639] for ever [05703], because he delighteth [02654] in mercy [02617]. 33 7 19 He will turn again [07725], he will have compassion [07355] upon us; he will subdue [03533] our iniquities [05771]; and thou wilt cast [07993] all their sins [02403] into the depths [04688] of the sea [03220]. 33 7 20 Thou wilt perform [05414] the truth [0571] to Jacob [03290], and the mercy [02617] to Abraham [085], which thou hast sworn [07650] unto our fathers [01] from the days [03117] of old [06924]. 34 1 1 The burden [04853] of Nineveh [05210]. The book [05612] of the vision [02377] of Nahum [05151] the Elkoshite [0512]. 34 1 2 God [0410] is jealous [07072], and the LORD [03068] revengeth [05358]; the LORD [03068] revengeth [05358], and is furious [01167] [02534]; the LORD [03068] will take vengeance [05358] on his adversaries [06862], and he reserveth [05201] wrath for his enemies [0341]. 34 1 3 The LORD [03068] is slow [0750] to anger [0639], and great [01419] in power [03581], and will not at all [05352] acquit [05352] the wicked: the LORD [03068] hath his way [01870] in the whirlwind [05492] and in the storm [08183], and the clouds [06051] are the dust [080] of his feet [07272]. 34 1 4 He rebuketh [01605] the sea [03220], and maketh it dry [02717], and drieth up [03001] all the rivers [05104]: Bashan [01316] languisheth [0535], and Carmel [03760], and the flower [06525] of Lebanon [03844] languisheth [0535]. 34 1 5 The mountains [02022] quake [07493] at him, and the hills [01389] melt [04127], and the earth [0776] is burned [05375] at his presence [06440], yea, the world [08398], and all that dwell [03427] therein. 34 1 6 Who can stand [05975] before [06440] his indignation [02195]? and who can abide [06965] in the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639]? his fury [02534] is poured out [05413] like fire [0784], and the rocks [06697] are thrown down [05422] by him. 34 1 7 The LORD [03068] is good [02896], a strong hold [04581] in the day [03117] of trouble [06869]; and he knoweth [03045] them that trust [02620] in him. 34 1 8 But with an overrunning [05674] flood [07858] he will make [06213] an utter end [03617] of the place [04725] thereof, and darkness [02822] shall pursue [07291] his enemies [0341]. 34 1 9 What do ye imagine [02803] against the LORD [03068]? he will make [06213] an utter end [03617]: affliction [06869] shall not rise up [06965] the second time [06471]. 34 1 10 For while they be folden together [05440] as thorns [05518], and while they are drunken [05433] as drunkards [05435], they shall be devoured [0398] as stubble [07179] fully [04392] dry [03002]. 34 1 11 There is one come out [03318] of thee, that imagineth [02803] evil [07451] against the LORD [03068], a wicked [01100] counsellor [03289]. 34 1 12 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Though they be quiet [08003], and likewise many [07227], yet thus shall they be cut down [01494], when he shall pass through [05674]. Though I have afflicted [06031] thee, I will afflict [06031] thee no more. 34 1 13 For now will I break [07665] his yoke [04132] from off thee, and will burst [05423] thy bonds [04147] in sunder [05423]. 34 1 14 And the LORD [03068] hath given a commandment [06680] concerning thee, that no more of thy name [08034] be sown [02232]: out of the house [01004] of thy gods [0430] will I cut off [03772] the graven image [06459] and the molten image [04541]: I will make [07760] thy grave [06913]; for thou art vile [07043]. 34 1 15 Behold upon the mountains [02022] the feet [07272] of him that bringeth good tidings [01319], that publisheth [08085] peace [07965]! O Judah [03063], keep [02287] thy solemn feasts [02282], perform [07999] thy vows [05088]: for the wicked [01100] shall no more [03254] pass through [05674] thee; he is utterly cut off [03772]. 34 2 1 He that dasheth in pieces [06327] is come up [05927] before thy face [06440]: keep [05341] the munition [04694], watch [06822] the way [01870], make thy loins [04975] strong [02388], fortify [0553] thy power [03581] mightily [03966]. 34 2 2 For the LORD [03068] hath turned away [07725] the excellency [01347] of Jacob [03290], as the excellency [01347] of Israel [03478]: for the emptiers [01238] have emptied them out [01238], and marred [07843] their vine branches [02156]. 34 2 3 The shield [04043] of his mighty men [01368] is made red [0119], the valiant [02428] men [0582] are in scarlet [08529]: the chariots [07393] shall be with flaming [0784] torches [06393] in the day [03117] of his preparation [03559], and the fir trees [01265] shall be terribly shaken [07477]. 34 2 4 The chariots [07393] shall rage [01984] in the streets [02351], they shall justle one against another [08264] in the broad ways [07339]: they shall seem [04758] like torches [03940], they shall run [07323] like the lightnings [01300]. 34 2 5 He shall recount [02142] his worthies [0117]: they shall stumble [03782] in their walk [01979]; they shall make haste [04116] to the wall [02346] thereof, and the defence [05526] shall be prepared [03559]. 34 2 6 The gates [08179] of the rivers [05104] shall be opened [06605], and the palace [01964] shall be dissolved [04127]. 34 2 7 And Huzzab [05324] shall be led away captive [01540], she shall be brought up [05927], and her maids [0519] shall lead [05090] her as with the voice [06963] of doves [03123], tabering [08608] upon their breasts [03824]. 34 2 8 But Nineveh [05210] is of old [03117] like a pool [01295] of water [04325]: yet they shall flee away [05127]. Stand [05975], stand [05975], shall they cry; but none shall look back [06437]. 34 2 9 Take ye the spoil [0962] of silver [03701], take the spoil [0962] of gold [02091]: for there is none end [07097] of the store [08498] and glory [03519] out of all the pleasant [02532] furniture [03627]. 34 2 10 She is empty [0950], and void [04003], and waste [01110]: and the heart [03820] melteth [04549], and the knees [01290] smite together [06375], and much pain [02479] is in all loins [04975], and the faces [06440] of them all gather [06908] blackness [06289]. 34 2 11 Where is the dwelling [04583] of the lions [0738], and the feedingplace [04829] of the young lions [03715], where the lion [0738], even the old lion [03833], walked [01980], and the lion's [0738] whelp [01482], and none made them afraid [02729]? 34 2 12 The lion [0738] did tear in pieces [02963] enough [01767] for his whelps [01484], and strangled [02614] for his lionesses [03833], and filled [04390] his holes [02356] with prey [02964], and his dens [04585] with ravin [02966]. 34 2 13 Behold, I am against thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and I will burn [01197] her chariots [07393] in the smoke [06227], and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398] thy young lions [03715]: and I will cut off [03772] thy prey [02964] from the earth [0776], and the voice [06963] of thy messengers [04397] shall no more be heard [08085]. 34 3 1 Woe [01945] to the bloody [01818] city [05892]! it is all full [04392] of lies [03585] and robbery [06563]; the prey [02964] departeth [04185] not; 34 3 2 The noise [06963] of a whip [07752], and the noise [06963] of the rattling [07494] of the wheels [0212], and of the pransing [01725] horses [05483], and of the jumping [07540] chariots [04818]. 34 3 3 The horseman [06571] lifteth up [05927] both the bright [03851] sword [02719] and the glittering [01300] spear [02595]: and there is a multitude [07230] of slain [02491], and a great [03514] number of carcases [06297]; and there is none end [07097] of their corpses [01472]; they stumble [03782] [03782] upon their corpses [01472]: 34 3 4 Because of the multitude [07230] of the whoredoms [02183] of the wellfavoured [02896] [02580] harlot [02181], the mistress [01172] of witchcrafts [03785], that selleth [04376] nations [01471] through her whoredoms [02183], and families [04940] through her witchcrafts [03785]. 34 3 5 Behold, I am against thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; and I will discover [01540] thy skirts [07757] upon thy face [06440], and I will shew [07200] the nations [01471] thy nakedness [04626], and the kingdoms [04467] thy shame [07036]. 34 3 6 And I will cast [07993] abominable filth [08251] upon thee, and make thee vile [05034], and will set [07760] thee as a gazingstock [07210]. 34 3 7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look [07200] upon thee shall flee [05074] from thee, and say [0559], Nineveh [05210] is laid waste [07703]: who will bemoan [05110] her? whence [0370] shall I seek [01245] comforters [05162] for thee? 34 3 8 Art thou better [03190] than populous [0527] [0528] No [04996], that was situate [03427] among the rivers [02975], that had the waters [04325] round about [05439] it, whose rampart [02426] was the sea [03220], and her wall [02346] was from the sea [03220]? 34 3 9 Ethiopia [03568] and Egypt [04714] were her strength [06109], and it was infinite [0369] [07097]; Put [06316] and Lubim [03864] were thy helpers [05833]. 34 3 10 Yet was she carried away [01473], she went [01980] into captivity [07628]: her young children [05768] also were dashed in pieces [07376] at the top [07218] of all the streets [02351]: and they cast [03032] lots [01486] for her honourable men [03513], and all her great men [01419] were bound [07576] in chains [02131]. 34 3 11 Thou also shalt be drunken [07937]: thou shalt be hid [05956], thou also shalt seek [01245] strength [04581] because of the enemy [0341]. 34 3 12 All thy strong holds [04013] shall be like fig trees [08384] with the firstripe figs [01061]: if they be shaken [05128], they shall even fall [05307] into the mouth [06310] of the eater [0398]. 34 3 13 Behold, thy people [05971] in the midst [07130] of thee are women [0802]: the gates [08179] of thy land [0776] shall be set wide [06605] open [06605] unto thine enemies [0341]: the fire [0784] shall devour [0398] thy bars [01280]. 34 3 14 Draw [07579] thee waters [04325] for the siege [04692], fortify [02388] thy strong holds [04013]: go [0935] into clay [02916], and tread [07429] the morter [02563], make strong [02388] the brickkiln [04404]. 34 3 15 There shall the fire [0784] devour [0398] thee; the sword [02719] shall cut thee off [03772], it shall eat thee up [0398] like the cankerworm [03218]: make thyself many [03513] as the cankerworm [03218], make thyself many [03513] as the locusts [0697]. 34 3 16 Thou hast multiplied [07235] thy merchants [07402] above the stars [03556] of heaven [08064]: the cankerworm [03218] spoileth [06584], and flieth away [05774]. 34 3 17 Thy crowned [04502] are as the locusts [0697], and thy captains [02951] as the great grasshoppers [01462], which camp [02583] in the hedges [01448] in the cold [07135] day [03117], but when the sun [08121] ariseth [02224] they flee away [05074], and their place [04725] is not known [03045] where [0335] they are. 34 3 18 Thy shepherds [07462] slumber [05123], O king [04428] of Assyria [0804]: thy nobles [0117] shall dwell [07931] in the dust: thy people [05971] is scattered [06335] upon the mountains [02022], and no man gathereth [06908] them. 34 3 19 There is no healing [03545] of thy bruise [07667]; thy wound [04347] is grievous [02470]: all that hear [08085] the bruit [08088] of thee shall clap [08628] the hands [03709] over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness [07451] passed [05674] continually [08548]? 35 1 1 The burden [04853] which Habakkuk [02265] the prophet [05030] did see [02372]. 35 1 2 O LORD [03068], how long shall I cry [07768], and thou wilt not hear [08085] ! even cry out [02199] unto thee of violence [02555], and thou wilt not save [03467] ! 35 1 3 Why dost thou shew [07200] me iniquity [0205], and cause me to behold [05027] grievance [05999]? for spoiling [07701] and violence [02555] are before me: and there are that raise up [05375] strife [07379] and contention [04066]. 35 1 4 Therefore the law [08451] is slacked [06313], and judgment [04941] doth never [05331] go forth [03318]: for the wicked [07563] doth compass [03803] about the righteous [06662]; therefore wrong [06127] judgment [04941] proceedeth [03318]. 35 1 5 Behold [07200] ye among the heathen [01471], and regard [05027], and wonder [08539] marvellously [08539]: for I will work [06466] a work [06467] in your days [03117], which ye will not believe [0539], though it be told [05608] you. 35 1 6 For, lo, I raise up [06965] the Chaldeans [03778], that bitter [04751] and hasty [04116] nation [01471], which shall march [01980] through the breadth [04800] of the land [0776], to possess [03423] the dwellingplaces [04908] that are not theirs. 35 1 7 They are terrible [0366] and dreadful [03372]: their judgment [04941] and their dignity [07613] shall proceed [03318] of themselves. 35 1 8 Their horses [05483] also are swifter [07043] than the leopards [05246], and are more fierce [02300] than the evening [06153] wolves [02061]: and their horsemen [06571] shall spread [06335] themselves, and their horsemen [06571] shall come [0935] from far [07350]; they shall fly [05774] as the eagle [05404] that hasteth [02363] to eat [0398]. 35 1 9 They shall come [0935] all for violence [02555]: their faces [06440] shall sup up [04041] as the east wind [06921], and they shall gather [0622] the captivity [07628] as the sand [02344]. 35 1 10 And they shall scoff [07046] at the kings [04428], and the princes [07336] shall be a scorn [04890] unto them: they shall deride [07832] every strong hold [04013]; for they shall heap [06651] dust [06083], and take [03920] it. 35 1 11 Then shall his mind [07307] change [02498], and he shall pass over [05674], and offend [0816], imputing this [02098] his power [03581] unto his god [0433]. 35 1 12 Art thou not from everlasting [06924], O LORD [03068] my God [0430], mine Holy One [06918]? we shall not die [04191]. O LORD [03068], thou hast ordained [07760] them for judgment [04941]; and, O mighty God [06697], thou hast established [03245] them for correction [03198]. 35 1 13 Thou art of purer [02889] eyes [05869] than to behold [07200] evil [07451], and canst [03201] not look [05027] on iniquity [05999]: wherefore lookest [05027] thou upon them that deal treacherously [0898], and holdest thy tongue [02790] when the wicked [07563] devoureth [01104] the man that is more righteous [06662] than he? 35 1 14 And makest [06213] men [0120] as the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220], as the creeping things [07431], that have no ruler [04910] over them? 35 1 15 They take up [05927] all of them with the angle [02443], they catch [01641] them in their net [02764], and gather [0622] them in their drag [04365]: therefore they rejoice [08055] and are glad [01523]. 35 1 16 Therefore they sacrifice [02076] unto their net [02764], and burn incense [06999] unto their drag [04365]; because by them [01992] their portion [02506] is fat [08082], and their meat [03978] plenteous [01277]. 35 1 17 Shall they therefore empty [07324] their net [02764], and not spare [02550] continually [08548] to slay [02026] the nations [01471]? 35 2 1 I will stand [05975] upon my watch [04931], and set [03320] me upon the tower [04692], and will watch [06822] to see [07200] what he will say [01696] unto me, and what I shall answer [07725] when I am reproved [08433]. 35 2 2 And the LORD [03068] answered [06030] me, and said [0559], Write [03789] the vision [02377], and make it plain [0874] upon tables [03871], that he may run [07323] that readeth [07121] it. 35 2 3 For the vision [02377] is yet for an appointed time [04150], but at the end [07093] it shall speak [06315], and not lie [03576]: though it tarry [04102], wait [02442] for it; because it will surely [0935] come [0935], it will not tarry [0309]. 35 2 4 Behold, his soul [05315] which is lifted up [06075] is not upright [03474] in him: but the just [06662] shall live [02421] by his faith [0530]. 35 2 5 Yea also, because he transgresseth [0898] by wine [03196], he is a proud [03093] man [01397], neither keepeth at home [05115], who enlargeth [07337] his desire [05315] as hell [07585], and is as death [04194], and cannot be satisfied [07646], but gathereth [0622] unto him all nations [01471], and heapeth [06908] unto him all people [05971]: 35 2 6 Shall not all these take up [05375] a parable [04912] against him, and a taunting [04426] proverb [02420] against him, and say [0559], Woe [01945] to him that increaseth [07235] that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth [03513] himself with thick clay [05671]! 35 2 7 Shall they not rise up [06965] suddenly [06621] that shall bite [05391] thee, and awake [03364] that shall vex [02111] thee, and thou shalt be for booties [04933] unto them? 35 2 8 Because thou hast spoiled [07997] many [07227] nations [01471], all the remnant [03499] of the people [05971] shall spoil [07997] thee; because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and for the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] therein. 35 2 9 Woe [01945] to him that coveteth [01214] an evil [07451] covetousness [01215] to his house [01004], that he may set [07760] his nest [07064] on high [04791], that he may be delivered [05337] from the power [03709] of evil [07451]! 35 2 10 Thou hast consulted [03289] shame [01322] to thy house [01004] by cutting off [07096] many [07227] people [05971], and hast sinned [02398] against thy soul [05315]. 35 2 11 For the stone [068] shall cry out [02199] of the wall [07023], and the beam out [03714] of the timber [06086] shall answer [06030] it. 35 2 12 Woe [01945] to him that buildeth [01129] a town [05892] with blood [01818], and stablisheth [03559] a city [07151] by iniquity [05766]! 35 2 13 Behold, is it not of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] that the people [05971] shall labour [03021] in the very [01767] fire [0784], and the people [03816] shall weary [03286] themselves for very [01767] vanity [07385]? 35 2 14 For the earth [0776] shall be filled [04390] with the knowledge [03045] of the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068], as the waters [04325] cover [03680] the sea [03220]. 35 2 15 Woe [01945] unto him that giveth his neighbour [07453] drink [08248], that puttest [05596] thy bottle [02573] to him, and makest him drunken [07937] also, that thou mayest look [05027] on their nakedness [04589]! 35 2 16 Thou art filled [07646] with shame [07036] for glory [03519]: drink [08354] thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered [06188]: the cup [03563] of the LORD'S [03068] right hand [03225] shall be turned [05437] unto thee, and shameful spewing [07022] shall be on thy glory [03519]. 35 2 17 For the violence [02555] of Lebanon [03844] shall cover [03680] thee, and the spoil [07701] of beasts [0929], which made them afraid [02865], because of men's [0120] blood [01818], and for the violence [02555] of the land [0776], of the city [07151], and of all that dwell [03427] therein. 35 2 18 What profiteth [03276] the graven image [06459] that the maker [03335] thereof hath graven [06458] it; the molten image [04541], and a teacher [03384] of lies [08267], that the maker [03335] of his work [03336] trusteth [0982] therein, to make [06213] dumb [0483] idols [0457]? 35 2 19 Woe [01945] unto him that saith [0559] to the wood [06086], Awake [06974]; to the dumb [01748] stone [068], Arise [05782], it shall teach [03384] ! Behold, it is laid [08610] over with gold [02091] and silver [03701], and there is no breath [07307] at all in the midst [07130] of it. 35 2 20 But the LORD [03068] is in his holy [06944] temple [01964]: let all the earth [0776] keep silence [02013] before [06440] him. 35 3 1 A prayer [08605] of Habakkuk [02265] the prophet [05030] upon Shigionoth [07692]. 35 3 2 O LORD [03068], I have heard [08085] thy speech [08088], and was afraid [03372]: O LORD [03068], revive [02421] thy work [06467] in the midst [07130] of the years [08141], in the midst [07130] of the years [08141] make known [03045]; in wrath [07267] remember [02142] mercy [07355]. 35 3 3 God [0433] came [0935] from Teman [08487], and the Holy One [06918] from mount [02022] Paran [06290]. Selah [05542]. His glory [01935] covered [03680] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776] was full [04390] of his praise [08416]. 35 3 4 And his brightness [05051] was as the light [0216]; he had horns [07161] coming out of his hand [03027]: and there was the hiding [02253] of his power [05797]. 35 3 5 Before [06440] him went [03212] the pestilence [01698], and burning coals [07565] went forth [03318] at his feet [07272]. 35 3 6 He stood [05975], and measured [04128] the earth [0776]: he beheld [07200], and drove asunder [05425] the nations [01471]; and the everlasting [05703] mountains [02042] were scattered [06327], the perpetual [05769] hills [01389] did bow [07817]: his ways [01979] are everlasting [05769]. 35 3 7 I saw [07200] the tents [0168] of Cushan [03572] in affliction [0205]: and the curtains [03407] of the land [0776] of Midian [04080] did tremble [07264]. 35 3 8 Was the LORD [03068] displeased [02734] against the rivers [05104]? was thine anger [0639] against the rivers [05104]? was thy wrath [05678] against the sea [03220], that thou didst ride [07392] upon thine horses [05483] and thy chariots [04818] of salvation [03444]? 35 3 9 Thy bow [07198] was made quite [06181] naked [05783], according to the oaths [07621] of the tribes [04294], even thy word [0562]. Selah [05542]. Thou didst cleave [01234] the earth [0776] with rivers [05104]. 35 3 10 The mountains [02022] saw [07200] thee, and they trembled [02342]: the overflowing [02230] of the water [04325] passed by [05674]: the deep [08415] uttered [05414] his voice [06963], and lifted up [05375] his hands [03027] on high [07315]. 35 3 11 The sun [08121] and moon [03394] stood still [05975] in their habitation [02073]: at the light [0216] of thine arrows [02671] they went [01980], and at the shining [05051] of thy glittering [01300] spear [02595]. 35 3 12 Thou didst march through [06805] the land [0776] in indignation [02195], thou didst thresh [01758] the heathen [01471] in anger [0639]. 35 3 13 Thou wentest forth [03318] for the salvation [03468] of thy people [05971], even for salvation [03468] with thine anointed [04899]; thou woundedst [04272] the head [07218] out of the house [01004] of the wicked [07563], by discovering [06168] the foundation [03247] unto the neck [06677]. Selah [05542]. 35 3 14 Thou didst strike through [05344] with his staves [04294] the head [07218] of his villages [06518]: they came out as a whirlwind [05590] to scatter [06327] me: their rejoicing [05951] was as to devour [0398] the poor [06041] secretly [04565]. 35 3 15 Thou didst walk [01869] through the sea [03220] with thine horses [05483], through the heap [02563] of great [07227] waters [04325]. 35 3 16 When I heard [08085], my belly [0990] trembled [07264]; my lips [08193] quivered [06750] at the voice [06963]: rottenness [07538] entered [0935] into my bones [06106], and I trembled [07264] in myself, that I might rest [05117] in the day [03117] of trouble [06869]: when he cometh up [05927] unto the people [05971], he will invade them with his troops [01464]. 35 3 17 Although the fig tree [08384] shall not blossom [06524], neither shall fruit [02981] be in the vines [01612]; the labour [04639] of the olive [02132] shall fail [03584], and the fields [07709] shall yield [06213] no meat [0400]; the flock [06629] shall be cut off [01504] from the fold [04356], and there shall be no herd [01241] in the stalls [07517]: 35 3 18 Yet I will rejoice [05937] in the LORD [03068], I will joy [01523] in the God [0430] of my salvation [03468]. 35 3 19 The LORD [03069] God [0136] is my strength [02428], and he will make [07760] my feet [07272] like hinds [0355]' feet, and he will make me to walk [01869] upon mine high places [01116]. To the chief singer [05329] on my stringed instruments [05058]. 36 1 1 The word [01697] of the LORD [03068] which came unto Zephaniah [06846] the son [01121] of Cushi [03570], the son [01121] of Gedaliah [01436], the son [01121] of Amariah [0568], the son [01121] of Hizkiah [02396], in the days [03117] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Amon [0526], king [04428] of Judah [03063]. 36 1 2 I will utterly [0622] consume [05486] all things from off the land [06440] [0127], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 36 1 3 I will consume [05486] man [0120] and beast [0929]; I will consume [05486] the fowls [05775] of the heaven [08064], and the fishes [01709] of the sea [03220], and the stumblingblocks [04384] with the wicked [07563]; and I will cut off [03772] man [0120] from off [06440] the land [0127], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 36 1 4 I will also stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Judah [03063], and upon all the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; and I will cut off [03772] the remnant [07605] of Baal [01168] from this place [04725], and the name [08034] of the Chemarims [03649] with the priests [03548]; 36 1 5 And them that worship [07812] the host [06635] of heaven [08064] upon the housetops [01406]; and them that worship [07812] and that swear [07650] by the LORD [03068], and that swear [07650] by Malcham [04428]; 36 1 6 And them that are turned back [05472] from [0310] the LORD [03068]; and those that have not sought [01245] the LORD [03068], nor enquired [01875] for him. 36 1 7 Hold thy peace [02013] at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]: for the LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] a sacrifice [02077], he hath bid [06942] his guests [07121]. 36 1 8 And it shall come to pass in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] sacrifice [02077], that I will punish [06485] the princes [08269], and the king's [04428] children [01121], and all such as are clothed [03847] with strange [05237] apparel [04403]. 36 1 9 In the same day [03117] also will I punish [06485] all those that leap [01801] on the threshold [04670], which fill [04390] their masters [0113]' houses [01004] with violence [02555] and deceit [04820]. 36 1 10 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that there shall be the noise [06963] of a cry [06818] from the fish [01709] gate [08179], and an howling [03215] from the second [04932], and a great [01419] crashing [07667] from the hills [01389]. 36 1 11 Howl [03213], ye inhabitants [03427] of Maktesh [04389], for all the merchant [03667] people [05971] are cut down [01820]; all they that bear [05187] silver [03701] are cut off [03772]. 36 1 12 And it shall come to pass at that time [06256], that I will search [02664] Jerusalem [03389] with candles [05216], and punish [06485] the men [0582] that are settled [07087] on their lees [08105]: that say [0559] in their heart [03824], The LORD [03068] will not do good [03190], neither will he do evil [07489]. 36 1 13 Therefore their goods [02428] shall become a booty [04933], and their houses [01004] a desolation [08077]: they shall also build [01129] houses [01004], but not inhabit [03427] them; and they shall plant [05193] vineyards [03754], but not drink [08354] the wine [03196] thereof. 36 1 14 The great [01419] day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138], it is near [07138], and hasteth [04118] greatly [03966], even the voice [06963] of the day [03117] of the LORD [03068]: the mighty man [01368] shall cry [06873] there bitterly [04751]. 36 1 15 That day [03117] is a day [03117] of wrath [05678], a day [03117] of trouble [06869] and distress [04691], a day [03117] of wasteness [07722] and desolation [04875], a day [03117] of darkness [02822] and gloominess [0653], a day [03117] of clouds [06051] and thick darkness [06205], 36 1 16 A day [03117] of the trumpet [07782] and alarm [08643] against the fenced [01219] cities [05892], and against the high [01364] towers [06438]. 36 1 17 And I will bring distress [06887] upon men [0120], that they shall walk [01980] like blind men [05787], because they have sinned [02398] against the LORD [03068]: and their blood [01818] shall be poured out [08210] as dust [06083], and their flesh [03894] as the dung [01561]. 36 1 18 Neither their silver [03701] nor their gold [02091] shall be able [03201] to deliver [05337] them in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] wrath [05678]; but the whole land [0776] shall be devoured [0398] by the fire [0784] of his jealousy [07068]: for he shall make [06213] even a speedy [0926] riddance [03617] of all them that dwell [03427] in the land [0776]. 36 2 1 Gather yourselves together [07197], yea, gather together [07197], O nation [01471] not desired [03700]; 36 2 2 Before the decree [02706] bring forth [03205], before the day [03117] pass [05674] as the chaff [04671], before [03808] the fierce [02740] anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] come [0935] upon you, before the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] anger [0639] come [0935] upon you. 36 2 3 Seek [01245] ye the LORD [03068], all ye meek [06035] of the earth [0776], which have wrought [06466] his judgment [04941]; seek [01245] righteousness [06664], seek [01245] meekness [06038]: it may be [0194] ye shall be hid [05641] in the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] anger [0639]. 36 2 4 For Gaza [05804] shall be forsaken [05800], and Ashkelon [0831] a desolation [08077]: they shall drive out [01644] Ashdod [0795] at the noon day [06672], and Ekron [06138] shall be rooted up [06131]. 36 2 5 Woe [01945] unto the inhabitants [03427] of the sea [03220] coast [02256], the nation [01471] of the Cherethites [03774]! the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] is against you; O Canaan [03667], the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], I will even destroy [06] thee, that there shall be no inhabitant [03427]. 36 2 6 And the sea [03220] coast [02256] shall be dwellings [05116] and cottages [03741] for shepherds [07462], and folds [01448] for flocks [06629]. 36 2 7 And the coast [02256] shall be for the remnant [07611] of the house [01004] of Judah [03063]; they shall feed [07462] thereupon: in the houses [01004] of Ashkelon [0831] shall they lie down [07257] in the evening [06153]: for the LORD [03068] their God [0430] shall visit [06485] them, and turn away [07725] their captivity [07622] [07622]. 36 2 8 I have heard [08085] the reproach [02781] of Moab [04124], and the revilings [01421] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], whereby they have reproached [02778] my people [05971], and magnified [01431] themselves against their border [01366]. 36 2 9 Therefore as I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], Surely Moab [04124] shall be as Sodom [05467], and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] as Gomorrah [06017], even the breeding [04476] of nettles [02738], and saltpits [04379] [04417], and a perpetual [05704] [05769] desolation [08077]: the residue [07611] of my people [05971] shall spoil [0962] them, and the remnant [03499] of my people [01471] shall possess [05157] them. 36 2 10 This shall they have for their pride [01347], because they have reproached [02778] and magnified [01431] themselves against the people [05971] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 36 2 11 The LORD [03068] will be terrible [03372] unto them: for he will famish [07329] all the gods [0430] of the earth [0776]; and men shall worship [07812] him, every one [0376] from his place [04725], even all the isles [0339] of the heathen [01471]. 36 2 12 Ye Ethiopians [03569] also, ye [01992] shall be slain [02491] by my sword [02719]. 36 2 13 And he will stretch out [05186] his hand [03027] against the north [06828], and destroy [06] Assyria [0804]; and will make [07760] Nineveh [05210] a desolation [08077], and dry [06723] like a wilderness [04057]. 36 2 14 And flocks [05739] shall lie down [07257] in the midst [08432] of her, all the beasts [02416] of the nations [01471]: both the cormorant [06893] and the bittern [07090] shall lodge [03885] in the upper lintels [03730] of it; their voice [06963] shall sing [07891] in the windows [02474]; desolation [02721] shall be in the thresholds [05592]: for he shall uncover [06168] the cedar work [0731]. 36 2 15 This is the rejoicing [05947] city [05892] that dwelt [03427] carelessly [0983], that said [0559] in her heart [03824], I am, and there is none beside [0657] me: how is she become a desolation [08047], a place for beasts [02416] to lie down in [04769]! every one that passeth by [05674] her shall hiss [08319], and wag [05128] his hand [03027]. 36 3 1 Woe [01945] to her that is filthy [04754] and polluted [01351], to the oppressing [03238] city [05892]! 36 3 2 She obeyed [08085] not the voice [06963]; she received [03947] not correction [04148]; she trusted [0982] not in the LORD [03068]; she drew not near [07126] to her God [0430]. 36 3 3 Her princes [08269] within [07130] her are roaring [07580] lions [0738]; her judges [08199] are evening [06153] wolves [02061]; they gnaw not the bones [01633] till the morrow [01242]. 36 3 4 Her prophets [05030] are light [06348] and treacherous [0900] persons [0582]: her priests [03548] have polluted [02490] the sanctuary [06944], they have done violence [02554] to the law [08451]. 36 3 5 The just [06662] LORD [03068] is in the midst [07130] thereof; he will not do [06213] iniquity [05766]: every [01242] morning [01242] doth he bring [05414] his judgment [04941] to light [0216], he faileth [05737] not; but the unjust [05767] knoweth [03045] no shame [01322]. 36 3 6 I have cut off [03772] the nations [01471]: their towers [06438] are desolate [08074]; I made their streets [02351] waste [02717], that none passeth by [05674]: their cities [05892] are destroyed [06658], so that there is no man [0376], that there is none inhabitant [03427]. 36 3 7 I said [0559], Surely thou wilt fear [03372] me, thou wilt receive [03947] instruction [04148]; so their dwelling [04583] should not be cut off [03772], howsoever [0834] [03605] I punished [06485] them: but [0403] they rose early [07925], and corrupted [07843] all their doings [05949]. 36 3 8 Therefore wait [02442] ye upon me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], until the day [03117] that I rise up [06965] to the prey [05706]: for my determination [04941] is to gather [0622] the nations [01471], that I may assemble [06908] the kingdoms [04467], to pour [08210] upon them mine indignation [02195], even all my fierce [02740] anger [0639]: for all the earth [0776] shall be devoured [0398] with the fire [0784] of my jealousy [07068]. 36 3 9 For then will I turn [02015] to the people [05971] a pure [01305] language [08193], that they may all call [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], to serve [05647] him with one [0259] consent [07926]. 36 3 10 From beyond [05676] the rivers [05104] of Ethiopia [03568] my suppliants [06282], even the daughter [01323] of my dispersed [06327], shall bring [02986] mine offering [04503]. 36 3 11 In that day [03117] shalt thou not be ashamed [0954] for all thy doings [05949], wherein thou hast transgressed [06586] against me: for then I will take away [05493] out of the midst [07130] of thee them that rejoice [05947] in thy pride [01346], and thou shalt no more [03254] be haughty [01361] because of my holy [06944] mountain [02022]. 36 3 12 I will also leave [07604] in the midst [07130] of thee an afflicted [06041] and poor [01800] people [05971], and they shall trust [02620] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. 36 3 13 The remnant [07611] of Israel [03478] shall not do [06213] iniquity [05766], nor speak [01696] lies [03577]; neither shall a deceitful [08649] tongue [03956] be found [04672] in their mouth [06310]: for they shall feed [07462] and lie down [07257], and none shall make them afraid [02729]. 36 3 14 Sing [07442], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]; shout [07321], O Israel [03478]; be glad [08055] and rejoice [05937] with all the heart [03820], O daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]. 36 3 15 The LORD [03068] hath taken away [05493] thy judgments [04941], he hath cast out [06437] thine enemy [0341]: the king [04428] of Israel [03478], even the LORD [03068], is in the midst [07130] of thee: thou shalt not see [07200] evil [07451] any more. 36 3 16 In that day [03117] it shall be said [0559] to Jerusalem [03389], Fear [03372] thou not: and to Zion [06726], Let not thine hands [03027] be slack [07503]. 36 3 17 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in the midst [07130] of thee is mighty [01368]; he will save [03467], he will rejoice [07797] over thee with joy [08057]; he will rest [02790] in his love [0160], he will joy [01523] over thee with singing [07440]. 36 3 18 I will gather [0622] them that are sorrowful [03013] for the solemn assembly [04150], who are of thee, to whom the reproach [02781] of it was a burden [04864]. 36 3 19 Behold, at that time [06256] I will undo [06213] all that afflict [06031] thee: and I will save [03467] her that halteth [06760], and gather [06908] her that was driven out [05080]; and I will get [07760] them praise [08416] and fame [08034] in every land [0776] where they have been put to shame [01322]. 36 3 20 At that time [06256] will I bring [0935] you again, even in the time [06256] that I gather [06908] you: for I will make [05414] you a name [08034] and a praise [08416] among all people [05971] of the earth [0776], when I turn back [07725] your captivity [07622] before your eyes [05869], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 37 1 1 In the second [08147] year [08141] of Darius [01867] the king [04428], in the sixth [08345] month [02320], in the first [0259] day [03117] of the month [02320], came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by [03027] Haggai [02292] the prophet [05030] unto Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], governor [06346] of Judah [03063], and to Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548], saying [0559], 37 1 2 Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], saying [0559], This people [05971] say [0559], The time [06256] is not come [0935], the time [06256] that the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] should be built [01129]. 37 1 3 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by [03027] Haggai [02292] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], 37 1 4 Is it time [06256] for you, O ye, to dwell [03427] in your cieled [05603] houses [01004], and this house [01004] lie waste [02720]? 37 1 5 Now therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Consider [07760] [03824] your ways [01870]. 37 1 6 Ye have sown [02232] much [07235], and bring [0935] in little [04592]; ye eat [0398], but ye have not enough [07654]; ye drink [08354], but ye are not filled with drink [07937]; ye clothe [03847] you, but there is none warm [02527]; and he that earneth wages [07936] earneth wages [07936] to put it into a bag [06872] with holes [05344]. 37 1 7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Consider [07760] [03824] your ways [01870]. 37 1 8 Go up [05927] to the mountain [02022], and bring [0935] wood [06086], and build [01129] the house [01004]; and I will take pleasure [07521] in it, and I will be glorified [03513], saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 37 1 9 Ye looked [06437] for much [07235], and, lo, it came to little [04592]; and when ye brought [0935] it home [01004], I did blow [05301] upon it. Why? saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. Because [03282] of mine house [01004] that is waste [02720], and ye run [07323] every man [0376] unto his own house [01004]. 37 1 10 Therefore the heaven [08064] over you is stayed [03607] from dew [02919], and the earth [0776] is stayed [03607] from her fruit [02981]. 37 1 11 And I called [07121] for a drought [02721] upon the land [0776], and upon the mountains [02022], and upon the corn [01715], and upon the new wine [08492], and upon the oil [03323], and upon that which the ground [0127] bringeth forth [03318], and upon men [0120], and upon cattle [0929], and upon all the labour [03018] of the hands [03709]. 37 1 12 Then Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548], with all the remnant [07611] of the people [05971], obeyed [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and the words [01697] of Haggai [02292] the prophet [05030], as the LORD [03068] their God [0430] had sent [07971] him, and the people [05971] did fear [03372] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 37 1 13 Then spake [0559] Haggai [02292] the LORD'S [03068] messenger [04397] in the LORD'S [03068] message [04400] unto the people [05971], saying [0559], I am with you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 37 1 14 And the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] the spirit [07307] of Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], governor [06346] of Judah [03063], and the spirit [07307] of Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548], and the spirit [07307] of all the remnant [07611] of the people [05971]; and they came [0935] and did [06213] work [04399] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], their God [0430], 37 1 15 In the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the sixth [08345] month [02320], in the second [08147] year [08141] of Darius [01867] the king [04428]. 37 2 1 In the seventh [07637] month, in the one [0259] and twentieth [06242] day of the month [02320], came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by [03027] the prophet [05030] Haggai [02292], saying [0559], 37 2 2 Speak [0559] now to Zerubbabel [02216] the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], governor [06346] of Judah [03063], and to Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548], and to the residue [07611] of the people [05971], saying [0559], 37 2 3 Who is left [07604] among you that saw [07200] this house [01004] in her first [07223] glory [03519]? and how do ye see [07200] it now? is it not in your eyes [05869] in comparison [03644] of it as nothing? 37 2 4 Yet now be strong [02388], O Zerubbabel [02216], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and be strong [02388], O Joshua [03091], son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548]; and be strong [02388], all ye people [05971] of the land [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and work [06213]: for I am with you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: 37 2 5 According to the word [01697] that I covenanted [03772] with you when ye came [03318] out of Egypt [04714], so my spirit [07307] remaineth [05975] among [08432] you: fear [03372] ye not. 37 2 6 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Yet once [0259], it is a little while [04592], and I will shake [07493] the heavens [08064], and the earth [0776], and the sea [03220], and the dry [02724] land; 37 2 7 And I will shake [07493] all nations [01471], and the desire [02532] of all nations [01471] shall come [0935]: and I will fill [04390] this house [01004] with glory [03519], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 37 2 8 The silver [03701] is mine, and the gold [02091] is mine, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 37 2 9 The glory [03519] of this latter [0314] house [01004] shall be greater than [01419] of the former [07223], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: and in this place [04725] will I give [05414] peace [07965], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 37 2 10 In the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day of the ninth [08671] month, in the second [08147] year [08141] of Darius [01867], came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] by [03027] Haggai [02292] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], 37 2 11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Ask [07592] now the priests [03548] concerning the law [08451], saying [0559], 37 2 12 If one [0376] bear [05375] holy [06944] flesh [01320] in the skirt [03671] of his garment [0899], and with his skirt [03671] do touch [05060] bread [03899], or pottage [05138], or wine [03196], or oil [08081], or any meat [03978], shall it be holy [06942]? And the priests [03548] answered [06030] and said [0559], No. 37 2 13 Then said [0559] Haggai [02292], If one that is unclean [02931] by a dead body [05315] touch [05060] any of these, shall it be unclean [02930]? And the priests [03548] answered [06030] and said [0559], It shall be unclean [02930]. 37 2 14 Then answered [06030] Haggai [02292], and said [0559], So is this people [05971], and so is this nation [01471] before [06440] me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and so is every work [04639] of their hands [03027]; and that which they offer [07126] there is unclean [02931]. 37 2 15 And now, I pray you, consider [07760] [03824] from this day [03117] and upward [04605], from before [02962] a stone [068] was laid [07760] upon a stone [068] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]: 37 2 16 Since those days were, when one came [0935] to an heap [06194] of twenty [06242] measures, there were but ten [06235]: when one came [0935] to the pressfat [03342] for to draw out [02834] fifty [02572] vessels out of the press [06333], there were but twenty [06242]. 37 2 17 I smote [05221] you with blasting [07711] and with mildew [03420] and with hail [01259] in all the labours [04639] of your hands [03027]; yet ye turned not to me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 37 2 18 Consider [07760] [03824] now from this day [03117] and upward [04605], from the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the ninth [08671] month, even from the day [03117] that the foundation [03245] of the LORD'S [03068] temple [01964] was laid, consider [07760] [03824] it. 37 2 19 Is the seed [02233] yet in the barn [04035]? yea, as yet the vine [01612], and the fig tree [08384], and the pomegranate [07416], and the olive [02132] tree [06086], hath not brought forth [05375]: from this day [03117] will I bless [01288] you. 37 2 20 And again [08145] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Haggai [02292] in the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day of the month [02320], saying [0559], 37 2 21 Speak [0559] to Zerubbabel [02216], governor [06346] of Judah [03063], saying [0559], I will shake [07493] the heavens [08064] and the earth [0776]; 37 2 22 And I will overthrow [02015] the throne [03678] of kingdoms [04467], and I will destroy [08045] the strength [02392] of the kingdoms [04467] of the heathen [01471]; and I will overthrow [02015] the chariots [04818], and those that ride [07392] in them; and the horses [05483] and their riders [07392] shall come down [03381], every one [0376] by the sword [02719] of his brother [0251]. 37 2 23 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], will I take [03947] thee, O Zerubbabel [02216], my servant [05650], the son [01121] of Shealtiel [07597], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], and will make [07760] thee as a signet [02368]: for I have chosen [0977] thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 1 1 In the eighth [08066] month [02320], in the second [08147] year [08141] of Darius [01867], came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Zechariah [02148], the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296], the son [01121] of Iddo [05714] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], 38 1 2 The LORD [03068] hath been sore [07110] displeased [07107] with your fathers [01]. 38 1 3 Therefore say [0559] thou unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Turn [07725] ye unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and I will turn [07725] unto you, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 1 4 Be ye not as your fathers [01], unto whom the former [07223] prophets [05030] have cried [07121], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Turn [07725] ye now from your evil [07451] ways [01870], and from your evil [07451] doings [04611]: but they did not hear [08085], nor hearken [07181] unto me, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 38 1 5 Your fathers [01], where are they? and the prophets [05030], do they live [02421] for ever [05769]? 38 1 6 But my words [01697] and my statutes [02706], which I commanded [06680] my servants [05650] the prophets [05030], did they not take hold [05381] of your fathers [01]? and they returned [07725] and said [0559], Like as the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] thought [02161] to do [06213] unto us, according to our ways [01870], and according to our doings [04611], so hath he dealt [06213] with us. 38 1 7 Upon the four [0702] and twentieth [06242] day [03117] of the eleventh [06249] [06240] month [02320], which is the month [02320] Sebat [07627], in the second [08147] year [08141] of Darius [01867], came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Zechariah [02148], the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296], the son [01121] of Iddo [05714] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], 38 1 8 I saw [07200] by night [03915], and behold a man [0376] riding [07392] upon a red [0122] horse [05483], and he stood [05975] among the myrtle trees [01918] that were in the bottom [04699]; and behind [0310] him were there red [0122] horses [05483], speckled [08320], and white [03836]. 38 1 9 Then said [0559] I, O my lord [0113], what are these? And the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me said [0559] unto me, I will shew [07200] thee what these be. 38 1 10 And the man [0376] that stood [05975] among the myrtle trees [01918] answered [06030] and said [0559], These are they whom the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] to walk [01980] to and fro through the earth [0776]. 38 1 11 And they answered [06030] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] that stood [05975] among the myrtle trees [01918], and said [0559], We have walked to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776], and, behold, all the earth [0776] sitteth still [03427], and is at rest [08252]. 38 1 12 Then the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] answered [06030] and said [0559], O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], how long wilt thou not have mercy [07355] on Jerusalem [03389] and on the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], against which thou hast had indignation [02194] these threescore and ten [07657] years [08141]? 38 1 13 And the LORD [03068] answered [06030] the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me with good [02896] words [01697] and comfortable [05150] words [01697]. 38 1 14 So the angel [04397] that communed [01696] with me said [0559] unto me, Cry [07121] thou, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; I am jealous [07065] for Jerusalem [03389] and for Zion [06726] with a great [01419] jealousy [07068]. 38 1 15 And I am very [01419] sore [07110] displeased [07107] with the heathen [01471] that are at ease [07600]: for I was but a little [04592] displeased [07107], and they helped [05826] forward the affliction [07451]. 38 1 16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; I am returned [07725] to Jerusalem [03389] with mercies [07356]: my house [01004] shall be built [01129] in it, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and a line [06957] [06961] shall be stretched forth [05186] upon Jerusalem [03389]. 38 1 17 Cry [07121] yet, saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; My cities [05892] through prosperity [02896] shall yet be spread abroad [06327]; and the LORD [03068] shall yet comfort [05162] Zion [06726], and shall yet choose [0977] Jerusalem [03389]. 38 1 18 Then lifted I up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and saw [07200], and behold four [0702] horns [07161]. 38 1 19 And I said [0559] unto the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me, What be these? And he answered [0559] me, These are the horns [07161] which have scattered [02219] Judah [03063], Israel [03478], and Jerusalem [03389]. 38 1 20 And the LORD [03068] shewed [07200] me four [0702] carpenters [02796]. 38 1 21 Then said [0559] I, What come [0935] these to do [06213]? And he spake [0559], saying [0559], These are the horns [07161] which have scattered [02219] Judah [03063], so that [06310] no man [0376] did lift up [05375] his head [07218]: but these are come [0935] to fray [02729] them, to cast out [03034] the horns [07161] of the Gentiles [01471], which lifted up [05375] their horn [07161] over the land [0776] of Judah [03063] to scatter [02219] it. 38 2 1 I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869] again, and looked [07200], and behold a man [0376] with a measuring [04060] line [02256] in his hand [03027]. 38 2 2 Then said [0559] I, Whither goest [01980] thou? And he said [0559] unto me, To measure [04058] Jerusalem [03389], to see [07200] what [04100] is the breadth [07341] thereof, and what is the length [0753] thereof. 38 2 3 And, behold, the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me went forth [03318], and another [0312] angel [04397] went out [03318] to meet [07125] him, 38 2 4 And said [0559] unto him, Run [07323], speak [01696] to this [01975] young man [05288], saying [0559], Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] as towns without walls [06519] for the multitude [07230] of men [0120] and cattle [0929] therein [08432]: 38 2 5 For I, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], will be unto her a wall [02346] of fire [0784] round about [05439], and will be the glory [03519] in the midst [08432] of her. 38 2 6 Ho [01945], ho [01945], come forth, and flee [05127] from the land [0776] of the north [06828], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: for I have spread you abroad [06566] as the four [0702] winds [07307] of the heaven [08064], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 38 2 7 Deliver [04422] thyself, O [01945] Zion [06726], that dwellest [03427] with the daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894]. 38 2 8 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; After [0310] the glory [03519] hath he sent [07971] me unto the nations [01471] which spoiled [07997] you: for he that toucheth [05060] you toucheth [05060] the apple [0892] of his eye [05869]. 38 2 9 For, behold, I will shake [05130] mine hand [03027] upon them, and they shall be a spoil [07998] to their servants [05647]: and ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me. 38 2 10 Sing [07442] and rejoice [08055], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]: for, lo, I come [0935], and I will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of thee, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 38 2 11 And many [07227] nations [01471] shall be joined [03867] to the LORD [03068] in that day [03117], and shall be my people [05971]: and I will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of thee, and thou shalt know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto thee. 38 2 12 And the LORD [03068] shall inherit [05157] Judah [03063] his portion [02506] in the holy [06944] land [0127], and shall choose [0977] Jerusalem [03389] again. 38 2 13 Be silent [02013], O all flesh [01320], before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for he is raised up [05782] out of his holy [06944] habitation [04583]. 38 3 1 And he shewed [07200] me Joshua [03091] the high [01419] priest [03548] standing [05975] before [06440] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] standing [05975] at his right hand [03225] to resist [07853] him. 38 3 2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], The LORD [03068] rebuke [01605] thee, O Satan [07854]; even the LORD [03068] that hath chosen [0977] Jerusalem [03389] rebuke [01605] thee: is not this a brand [0181] plucked [05337] out of the fire [0784]? 38 3 3 Now Joshua [03091] was clothed [03847] with filthy [06674] garments [0899], and stood [05975] before [06440] the angel [04397]. 38 3 4 And he answered [06030] and spake [0559] unto those that stood [05975] before [06440] him, saying [0559], Take away [05493] the filthy [06674] garments [0899] from him. And unto him he said [0559], Behold [07200], I have caused thine iniquity [05771] to pass [05674] from thee, and I will clothe [03847] thee with change of raiment [04254]. 38 3 5 And I said [0559], Let them set [07760] a fair [02889] mitre [06797] upon his head [07218]. So they set [07760] a fair [02889] mitre [06797] upon his head [07218], and clothed [03847] him with garments [0899]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] stood by [05975]. 38 3 6 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] protested [05749] unto Joshua [03091], saying [0559], 38 3 7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; If thou wilt walk [03212] in my ways [01870], and if thou wilt keep [08104] my charge [04931], then thou shalt also judge [01777] my house [01004], and shalt also keep [08104] my courts [02691], and I will give [05414] thee places to walk [04108] among these that stand by [05975]. 38 3 8 Hear [08085] now, O Joshua [03091] the high [01419] priest [03548], thou, and thy fellows [07453] that sit [03427] before [06440] thee: for they are men [0582] wondered at [04159]: for, behold, I will bring forth [0935] my servant [05650] the BRANCH [06780]. 38 3 9 For behold the stone [068] that I have laid [05414] before [06440] Joshua [03091]; upon one [0259] stone [068] shall be seven [07651] eyes [05869]: behold, I will engrave [06605] the graving [06603] thereof, saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and I will remove [04185] the iniquity [05771] of that land [0776] in one [0259] day [03117]. 38 3 10 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], shall ye call [07121] every man [0376] his neighbour [07453] under the vine [01612] and under the fig tree [08384]. 38 4 1 And the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me came again [07725], and waked [05782] me, as a man [0376] that is wakened [05782] out of his sleep [08142], 38 4 2 And said [0559] unto me, What seest [07200] thou? And I said [0559], I have looked [07200], and behold a candlestick [04501] all of gold [02091], with a bowl [01531] upon the top [07218] of it, and his seven [07651] lamps [05216] thereon, and seven [07651] pipes [04166] to the seven [07651] lamps [05216], which are upon the top [07218] thereof: 38 4 3 And two [08147] olive trees [02132] by it, one [0259] upon the right [03225] side of the bowl [01543], and the other [0259] upon the left [08040] side thereof. 38 4 4 So I answered [06030] and spake [0559] to the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me, saying [0559], What are these, my lord [0113]? 38 4 5 Then the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me answered [06030] and said [0559] unto me, Knowest [03045] thou not what these be? And I said [0559], No, my lord [0113]. 38 4 6 Then he answered [06030] and spake [0559] unto me, saying [0559], This is the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Zerubbabel [02216], saying [0559], Not by might [02428], nor by power [03581], but by my spirit [07307], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 4 7 Who art thou, O great [01419] mountain [02022]? before [06440] Zerubbabel [02216] thou shalt become a plain [04334]: and he shall bring forth [03318] the headstone [068] [07222] thereof with shoutings [08663], crying, Grace [02580], grace [02580] unto it. 38 4 8 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 38 4 9 The hands [03027] of Zerubbabel [02216] have laid the foundation [03245] of this house [01004]; his hands [03027] shall also finish [01214] it; and thou shalt know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto you. 38 4 10 For who hath despised [0936] the day [03117] of small things [06996]? for they shall rejoice [08055], and shall see [07200] the plummet [068] [0913] in the hand [03027] of Zerubbabel [02216] with those seven [07651]; they are the eyes [05869] of the LORD [03068], which run to and fro [07751] through the whole earth [0776]. 38 4 11 Then answered [06030] I, and said [0559] unto him, What are these two [08147] olive trees [02132] upon the right [03225] side of the candlestick [04501] and upon the left [08040] side thereof? 38 4 12 And I answered [06030] again [08145], and said [0559] unto him, What be these two [08147] olive [02132] branches [07641] which through [03027] the two [08147] golden [02091] pipes [06804] empty [07324] the golden [02091] oil out of themselves? 38 4 13 And he answered [0559] me and said [0559], Knowest [03045] thou not what these be? And I said [0559], No, my lord [0113]. 38 4 14 Then said [0559] he, These are the two [08147] anointed [03323] ones [01121], that stand [05975] by the Lord [0113] of the whole earth [0776]. 38 5 1 Then I turned [07725], and lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a flying [05774] roll [04039]. 38 5 2 And he said [0559] unto me, What seest [07200] thou? And I answered [0559], I see [07200] a flying [05774] roll [04039]; the length [0753] thereof is twenty [06242] cubits [0520], and the breadth [07341] thereof ten [06235] cubits [0520]. 38 5 3 Then said [0559] he unto me, This is the curse [0423] that goeth forth [03318] over the face [06440] of the whole earth [0776]: for every one that stealeth [01589] shall be cut off [05352] as on this side according [03644] to it; and every one that sweareth [07650] shall be cut off [05352] as on that side according [03644] to it. 38 5 4 I will bring it forth [03318], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and it shall enter [0935] into the house [01004] of the thief [01590], and into the house [01004] of him that sweareth [07650] falsely [08267] by my name [08034]: and it shall remain [03885] in the midst [08432] of his house [01004], and shall consume [03615] it with the timber [06086] thereof and the stones [068] thereof. 38 5 5 Then the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me went forth [03318], and said [0559] unto me, Lift up [05375] now thine eyes [05869], and see [07200] what is this that goeth forth [03318]. 38 5 6 And I said [0559], What is it? And he said [0559], This is an ephah [0374] that goeth forth [03318]. He said [0559] moreover, This is their resemblance [05869] through all the earth [0776]. 38 5 7 And, behold, there was lifted up [05375] a talent [03603] of lead [05777]: and this is a [0259] woman [0802] that sitteth [03427] in the midst [08432] of the ephah [0374]. 38 5 8 And he said [0559], This is wickedness [07564]. And he cast [07993] it into the midst [08432] of the ephah [0374]; and he cast [07993] the weight [068] of lead [05777] upon the mouth [06310] thereof. 38 5 9 Then lifted I up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, there came out [03318] two [08147] women [0802], and the wind [07307] was in their wings [03671]; for they had [02007] wings [03671] like the wings [03671] of a stork [02624]: and they lifted up [05375] the ephah [0374] between the earth [0776] and the heaven [08064]. 38 5 10 Then said [0559] I to the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me, Whither do these bear [03212] the ephah [0374]? 38 5 11 And he said [0559] unto me, To build [01129] it an house [01004] in the land [0776] of Shinar [08152]: and it shall be established [03559], and set [03240] there upon her own base [04369]. 38 6 1 And I turned [07725], and lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, there came [03318] four [0702] chariots [04818] out [03318] from between two [08147] mountains [02022]; and the mountains [02022] were mountains [02022] of brass [05178]. 38 6 2 In the first [07223] chariot [04818] were red [0122] horses [05483]; and in the second [08145] chariot [04818] black [07838] horses [05483]; 38 6 3 And in the third [07992] chariot [04818] white [03836] horses [05483]; and in the fourth [07243] chariot [04818] grisled [01261] and bay [0554] horses [05483]. 38 6 4 Then I answered [06030] and said [0559] unto the angel [04397] that talked [01696] with me, What are these, my lord [0113]? 38 6 5 And the angel [04397] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto me, These are the four [0702] spirits [07307] of the heavens [08064], which go forth [03318] from standing [03320] before the Lord [0113] of all the earth [0776]. 38 6 6 The black [07838] horses [05483] which are therein go forth [03318] into the north [06828] country [0776]; and the white [03836] go forth [03318] after [0310] them; and the grisled [01261] go forth [03318] toward the south [08486] country [0776]. 38 6 7 And the bay [0554] went forth [03318], and sought [01245] to go [03212] that they might walk to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776]: and he said [0559], Get you hence [03212], walk to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776]. So they walked to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776]. 38 6 8 Then cried [02199] he upon [0853] me, and spake [01696] unto me, saying [0559], Behold [07200], these that go [03318] toward the north [06828] country [0776] have quieted [05117] my spirit [07307] in the north [06828] country [0776]. 38 6 9 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559], 38 6 10 Take [03947] of them of the captivity [01473], even of Heldai [02469], of Tobijah [02900], and of Jedaiah [03048], which are come [0935] from Babylon [0894], and come [0935] thou the same day [03117], and go [0935] into the house [01004] of Josiah [02977] the son [01121] of Zephaniah [06846]; 38 6 11 Then take [03947] silver [03701] and gold [02091], and make [06213] crowns [05850], and set [07760] them upon the head [07218] of Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Josedech [03087], the high [01419] priest [03548]; 38 6 12 And speak [0559] unto him, saying [0559], Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], saying [0559], Behold the man [0376] whose name [08034] is The BRANCH [06780]; and he shall grow up [06779] out of his place, and he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]: 38 6 13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147]. 38 6 14 And the crowns [05850] shall be to Helem [02494], and to Tobijah [02900], and to Jedaiah [03048], and to Hen [02581] the son [01121] of Zephaniah [06846], for a memorial [02146] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]. 38 6 15 And they that are far off [07350] shall come [0935] and build [01129] in the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068], and ye shall know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently [08085] obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430]. 38 7 1 And it came to pass in the fourth [0702] year [08141] of king [04428] Darius [01867], that the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Zechariah [02148] in the fourth [0702] day of the ninth [08671] month [02320], even in Chisleu [03691]; 38 7 2 When they had sent [07971] unto the house [01004] of God [0410] Sherezer [08272] and Regemmelech [07278], and their men [0582], to pray [02470] before [06440] the LORD [03068], 38 7 3 And to speak [0559] unto the priests [03548] which were in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and to the prophets [05030], saying [0559], Should I weep [01058] in the fifth [02549] month [02320], separating [05144] myself, as I have done [06213] these so many years [08141]? 38 7 4 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] unto me, saying [0559], 38 7 5 Speak [0559] unto all the people [05971] of the land [0776], and to the priests [03548], saying [0559], When ye fasted [06684] and mourned [05594] in the fifth [02549] and seventh [07637] month, even those seventy [07657] years [08141], did ye at all [06684] fast [06684] unto me, even to me? 38 7 6 And when ye did eat [0398], and when ye did drink [08354], did not ye eat [0398] for yourselves, and drink [08354] for yourselves? 38 7 7 Should ye not hear the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath cried [07121] by [03027] the former [07223] prophets [05030], when Jerusalem [03389] was inhabited [03427] and in prosperity [07961], and the cities [05892] thereof round about her [05439], when men inhabited [03427] the south [05045] and the plain [08219]? 38 7 8 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto Zechariah [02148], saying [0559], 38 7 9 Thus speaketh [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], saying [0559], Execute [08199] true [0571] judgment [04941], and shew [06213] mercy [02617] and compassions [07356] every man [0376] to his brother [0251]: 38 7 10 And oppress [06231] not the widow [0490], nor the fatherless [03490], the stranger [01616], nor the poor [06041]; and let none of you imagine [02803] evil [07451] against [0376] his brother [0251] in your heart [03824]. 38 7 11 But they refused [03985] to hearken [07181], and pulled away [05414] [05637] the shoulder [03802], and stopped [03513] their ears [0241], that they should not hear [08085]. 38 7 12 Yea, they made [07760] their hearts [03820] as an adamant stone [08068], lest they should hear [08085] the law [08451], and the words [01697] which the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] in his spirit [07307] by [03027] the former [07223] prophets [05030]: therefore came a great [01419] wrath [07110] from the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 7 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried [07121], and they would not hear [08085]; so they cried [07121], and I would not hear [08085], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: 38 7 14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind [05590] among all the nations [01471] whom they knew [03045] not. Thus the land [0776] was desolate [08074] after [0310] them, that no man passed through [05674] nor returned [07725]: for they laid [07760] the pleasant [02532] land [0776] desolate [08047]. 38 8 1 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] came to me, saying [0559], 38 8 2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; I was jealous [07065] for Zion [06726] with great [01419] jealousy [07068], and I was jealous [07065] for her with great [01419] fury [02534]. 38 8 3 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; I am returned [07725] unto Zion [06726], and will dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of Jerusalem [03389]: and Jerusalem [03389] shall be called [07121] a city [05892] of truth [0571]; and the mountain [02022] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] the holy [06944] mountain [02022]. 38 8 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; There shall yet old men [02205] and old women [02205] dwell [03427] in the streets [07339] of Jerusalem [03389], and every man [0376] with his staff [04938] in his hand [03027] for very [07230] age [03117]. 38 8 5 And the streets [07339] of the city [05892] shall be full [04390] of boys [03206] and girls [03207] playing [07832] in the streets [07339] thereof. 38 8 6 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; If it be marvellous [06381] in the eyes [05869] of the remnant [07611] of this people [05971] in these days [03117], should it also be marvellous [06381] in mine eyes [05869]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 8 7 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Behold, I will save [03467] my people [05971] from the east [04217] country [0776], and from the west [03996] [08121] country [0776]; 38 8 8 And I will bring [0935] them, and they shall dwell [07931] in the midst [08432] of Jerusalem [03389]: and they shall be my people [05971], and I will be their God [0430], in truth [0571] and in righteousness [06666]. 38 8 9 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Let your hands [03027] be strong [02388], ye that hear [08085] in these days [03117] these words [01697] by the mouth [06310] of the prophets [05030], which were in the day [03117] that the foundation [03245] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] was laid [03245], that the temple [01964] might be built [01129]. 38 8 10 For before [06440] these days [03117] there was [01961] no hire [07939] for man [0120], nor any hire [07939] for beast [0929]; neither was there any peace [07965] to him that went out [03318] or came in [0935] because of the affliction [06862]: for I set [07971] all men [0120] every one [0376] against his neighbour [07453]. 38 8 11 But now I will not be unto the residue [07611] of this people [05971] as in the former [07223] days [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 38 8 12 For the seed [02233] shall be prosperous [07965]; the vine [01612] shall give [05414] her fruit [06529], and the ground [0776] shall give [05414] her increase [02981], and the heavens [08064] shall give [05414] their dew [02919]; and I will cause the remnant [07611] of this people [05971] to possess [05157] all these things. 38 8 13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse [07045] among the heathen [01471], O house [01004] of Judah [03063], and house [01004] of Israel [03478]; so will I save [03467] you, and ye shall be a blessing [01293]: fear [03372] not, but let your hands [03027] be strong [02388]. 38 8 14 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; As I thought [02161] to punish [07489] you, when your fathers [01] provoked me to wrath [07107], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and I repented [05162] not: 38 8 15 So again [07725] have I thought [02161] in these days [03117] to do well [03190] unto Jerusalem [03389] and to the house [01004] of Judah [03063]: fear [03372] ye not. 38 8 16 These are the things [01697] that ye shall do [06213]; Speak [01696] ye every man [0376] the truth [0571] to his neighbour [07453]; execute [08199] the judgment [04941] of truth [0571] and peace [07965] in your gates [08179]: 38 8 17 And let none [0376] of you imagine [02803] evil [07451] in your hearts [03824] against his neighbour [07453]; and love [0157] no false [08267] oath [07621]: for all these are things that I hate [08130], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 38 8 18 And the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] came unto me, saying [0559], 38 8 19 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; The fast [06685] of the fourth [07243] month, and the fast [06685] of the fifth [02549], and the fast [06685] of the seventh [07637], and the fast [06685] of the tenth [06224], shall be to the house [01004] of Judah [03063] joy [08342] and gladness [08057], and cheerful [02896] feasts [04150]; therefore love [0157] the truth [0571] and peace [07965]. 38 8 20 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come [0935] people [05971], and the inhabitants [03427] of many [07227] cities [05892]: 38 8 21 And the inhabitants [03427] of one [0259] city shall go [01980] to another [0259], saying [0559], Let us go [03212] speedily [01980] to pray [02470] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and to seek [01245] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: I will go [03212] also. 38 8 22 Yea, many [07227] people [05971] and strong [06099] nations [01471] shall come [0935] to seek [01245] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] in Jerusalem [03389], and to pray [02470] before [06440] the LORD [03068]. 38 8 23 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; In those days [03117] it shall come to pass, that ten [06235] men [0582] shall take hold [02388] out of all languages [03956] of the nations [01471], even shall take hold [02388] of the skirt [03671] of him that is a Jew [0376] [03064], saying [0559], We will go [03212] with you: for we have heard [08085] that God [0430] is with you. 38 9 1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] in the land [0776] of Hadrach [02317], and Damascus [01834] shall be the rest [04496] thereof: when the eyes [05869] of man [0120], as of all the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478], shall be toward the LORD [03068]. 38 9 2 And Hamath [02574] also shall border [01379] thereby; Tyrus [06865], and Zidon [06721], though it be very [03966] wise [02449]. 38 9 3 And Tyrus [06865] did build [01129] herself a strong hold [04692], and heaped up [06651] silver [03701] as the dust [06083], and fine gold [02742] as the mire [02916] of the streets [02351]. 38 9 4 Behold, the Lord [0136] will cast her out [03423], and he will smite [05221] her power [02428] in the sea [03220]; and she shall be devoured [0398] with fire [0784]. 38 9 5 Ashkelon [0831] shall see [07200] it, and fear [03372]; Gaza [05804] also shall see it, and be very [03966] sorrowful [02342], and Ekron [06138]; for her expectation [04007] shall be ashamed [03001]; and the king [04428] shall perish [06] from Gaza [05804], and Ashkelon [0831] shall not be inhabited [03427]. 38 9 6 And a bastard [04464] shall dwell [03427] in Ashdod [0795], and I will cut off [03772] the pride [01347] of the Philistines [06430]. 38 9 7 And I will take away [05493] his blood [01818] out of his mouth [06310], and his abominations [08251] from between his teeth [08127]: but he that remaineth [07604], even he, shall be for our God [0430], and he shall be as a governor [0441] in Judah [03063], and Ekron [06138] as a Jebusite [02983]. 38 9 8 And I will encamp [02583] about mine house [01004] because of the army [04675], because of him that passeth by [05674], and because of him that returneth [07725]: and no oppressor [05065] shall pass through [05674] them any more: for now have I seen [07200] with mine eyes [05869]. 38 9 9 Rejoice [01523] greatly [03966], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]; shout [07321], O daughter [01323] of Jerusalem [03389]: behold, thy King [04428] cometh [0935] unto thee: he is just [06662], and having salvation [03467]; lowly [06041], and riding [07392] upon an ass [02543], and upon a colt [05895] the foal [01121] of an ass [0860]. 38 9 10 And I will cut off [03772] the chariot [07393] from Ephraim [0669], and the horse [05483] from Jerusalem [03389], and the battle [04421] bow [07198] shall be cut off [03772]: and he shall speak [01696] peace [07965] unto the heathen [01471]: and his dominion [04915] shall be from sea [03220] even to sea [03220], and from the river [05104] even to the ends [0657] of the earth [0776]. 38 9 11 As for thee also, by the blood [01818] of thy covenant [01285] I have sent forth [07971] thy prisoners [0615] out of the pit [0953] wherein is no water [04325]. 38 9 12 Turn [07725] you to the strong hold [01225], ye prisoners [0615] of hope [08615]: even to day [03117] do I declare [05046] that I will render [07725] double [04932] unto thee; 38 9 13 When I have bent [01869] Judah [03063] for me, filled [04390] the bow [07198] with Ephraim [0669], and raised up [05782] thy sons [01121], O Zion [06726], against thy sons [01121], O Greece [03120], and made [07760] thee as the sword [02719] of a mighty man [01368]. 38 9 14 And the LORD [03068] shall be seen [07200] over them, and his arrow [02671] shall go forth [03318] as the lightning [01300]: and the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] shall blow [08628] the trumpet [07782], and shall go [01980] with whirlwinds [05591] of the south [08486]. 38 9 15 The LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] shall defend [01598] them; and they shall devour [0398], and subdue [03533] with sling [07050] stones [068]; and they shall drink [08354], and make a noise [01993] as through wine [03196]; and they shall be filled [04390] like bowls [04219], and as the corners [02106] of the altar [04196]. 38 9 16 And the LORD [03068] their God [0430] shall save [03467] them in that day [03117] as the flock [06629] of his people [05971]: for they shall be as the stones [068] of a crown [05145], lifted up as an ensign [05264] upon his land [0127]. 38 9 17 For how great is his goodness [02898], and how great is his beauty [03308]! corn [01715] shall make the young men [0970] cheerful [05107], and new wine [08492] the maids [01330]. 38 10 1 Ask [07592] ye of the LORD [03068] rain [04306] in the time [06256] of the latter rain [04456]; so the LORD [03068] shall make [06213] bright clouds [02385], and give [05414] them showers [01653] of rain [04306], to every one [0376] grass [06212] in the field [07704]. 38 10 2 For the idols [08655] have spoken [01696] vanity [0205], and the diviners [07080] have seen [02372] a lie [08267], and have told [01696] false [07723] dreams [02472]; they comfort [05162] in vain [01892]: therefore they went [05265] their way as a flock [06629], they were troubled [06031], because there was no shepherd [07462]. 38 10 3 Mine anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against the shepherds [07462], and I punished [06485] the goats [06260]: for the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath visited [06485] his flock [05739] the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and hath made [07760] them as his goodly [01935] horse [05483] in the battle [04421]. 38 10 4 Out of him came forth [03318] the corner [06438], out of him the nail [03489], out of him the battle [04421] bow [07198], out of him every oppressor [05065] together [03162]. 38 10 5 And they shall be as mighty [01368] men, which tread down [0947] their enemies in the mire [02916] of the streets [02351] in the battle [04421]: and they shall fight [03898], because the LORD [03068] is with them, and the riders [07392] on horses [05483] shall be confounded [03001]. 38 10 6 And I will strengthen [01396] the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and I will save [03467] the house [01004] of Joseph [03130], and I will bring them again to place [03427] them; for I have mercy [07355] upon them: and they shall be as though [0834] I had not cast them off [02186]: for I am the LORD [03068] their God [0430], and will hear [06030] them. 38 10 7 And they of Ephraim [0669] shall be like a mighty [01368] man, and their heart [03820] shall rejoice [08055] as through wine [03196]: yea, their children [01121] shall see [07200] it, and be glad [08055]; their heart [03820] shall rejoice [01523] in the LORD [03068]. 38 10 8 I will hiss [08319] for them, and gather [06908] them; for I have redeemed [06299] them: and they shall increase [07235] as they have increased [07235]. 38 10 9 And I will sow [02232] them among the people [05971]: and they shall remember [02142] me in far countries [04801]; and they shall live [02421] with their children [01121], and turn again [07725]. 38 10 10 I will bring them again [07725] also out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and gather [06908] them out of Assyria [0804]; and I will bring [0935] them into the land [0776] of Gilead [01568] and Lebanon [03844]; and place shall not be found [04672] for them. 38 10 11 And he shall pass through [05674] the sea [03220] with affliction [06869], and shall smite [05221] the waves [01530] in the sea [03220], and all the deeps [04688] of the river [02975] shall dry up [03001]: and the pride [01347] of Assyria [0804] shall be brought down [03381], and the sceptre [07626] of Egypt [04714] shall depart away [05493]. 38 10 12 And I will strengthen [01396] them in the LORD [03068]; and they shall walk up and down [01980] in his name [08034], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. 38 11 1 Open [06605] thy doors [01817], O Lebanon [03844], that the fire [0784] may devour [0398] thy cedars [0730]. 38 11 2 Howl [03213], fir tree [01265]; for the cedar [0730] is fallen [05307]; because the mighty [0117] are spoiled [07703]: howl [03213], O ye oaks [0437] of Bashan [01316]; for the forest [03293] of the vintage [01208] [01219] is come down [03381]. 38 11 3 There is a voice [06963] of the howling [03215] of the shepherds [07462]; for their glory [0155] is spoiled [07703]: a voice [06963] of the roaring [07581] of young lions [03715]; for the pride [01347] of Jordan [03383] is spoiled [07703]. 38 11 4 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] my God [0430]; Feed [07462] the flock [06629] of the slaughter [02028]; 38 11 5 Whose possessors [07069] slay [02026] them, and hold themselves not guilty [0816]: and they that sell [04376] them say [0559], Blessed [01288] be the LORD [03068]; for I am rich [06238]: and their own shepherds [07462] pity [02550] them not. 38 11 6 For I will no more pity [02550] the inhabitants [03427] of the land [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]: but, lo, I will deliver [04672] the men [0120] every one [0376] into his neighbour's [07453] hand [03027], and into the hand [03027] of his king [04428]: and they shall smite [03807] the land [0776], and out of their hand [03027] I will not deliver [05337] them. 38 11 7 And I will feed [07462] the flock [06629] of slaughter [02028], even you [03651], O poor [06041] of the flock [06629]. And I took [03947] unto me two [08147] staves [04731]; the one [0259] I called [07121] Beauty [05278], and the other [0259] I called [07121] Bands [02254]; and I fed [07462] the flock [06629]. 38 11 8 Three [07969] shepherds [07462] also I cut off [03582] in one [0259] month [03391]; and my soul [05315] lothed [07114] them, and their soul [05315] also abhorred [0973] me. 38 11 9 Then said [0559] I, I will not feed [07462] you: that that dieth [04191], let it die [04191]; and that that is to be cut off [03582], let it be cut off [03582]; and let the rest [07604] eat [0398] every one [0802] the flesh [01320] of another [07468]. 38 11 10 And I took [03947] my staff [04731], even Beauty [05278], and cut it asunder [01438], that I might break [06565] my covenant [01285] which I had made [03772] with all the people [05971]. 38 11 11 And it was broken [06565] in that day [03117]: and so the poor [06041] of the flock [06629] that waited [08104] upon me knew [03045] that it was the word [01697] of the LORD [03068]. 38 11 12 And I said [0559] unto them, If ye think [05869] good [02896], give [03051] me my price [07939]; and if not, forbear [02308]. So they weighed [08254] for my price [07939] thirty [07970] pieces of silver [03701]. 38 11 13 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Cast [07993] it unto the potter [03335]: a goodly [0145] price [03366] that I was prised at [03365] of them. And I took [03947] the thirty [07970] pieces of silver [03701], and cast [07993] them to the potter [03335] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]. 38 11 14 Then I cut asunder [01438] mine other [08145] staff [04731], even Bands [02254], that I might break [06565] the brotherhood [0264] between Judah [03063] and Israel [03478]. 38 11 15 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Take [03947] unto thee yet the instruments [03627] of a foolish [0196] shepherd [07462]. 38 11 16 For, lo, I will raise up [06965] a shepherd [07462] in the land [0776], which shall not visit [06485] those that be cut off [03582], neither shall seek [01245] the young one [05289], nor heal [07495] that that is broken [07665], nor feed [03557] that that standeth [05324] still: but he shall eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of the fat [01277], and tear [06561] their claws [06541] in pieces [06561]. 38 11 17 Woe [01945] to the idol [0457] shepherd [07473] that leaveth [05800] the flock [06629]! the sword [02719] shall be upon his arm [02220], and upon his right [03225] eye [05869]: his arm [02220] shall be clean [03001] dried up [03001], and his right [03225] eye [05869] shall be utterly [03543] darkened [03543]. 38 12 1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] for Israel [03478], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which stretcheth [05186] forth the heavens [08064], and layeth the foundation [03245] of the earth [0776], and formeth [03335] the spirit [07307] of man [0120] within [07130] him. 38 12 2 Behold, I will make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a cup [05592] of trembling [07478] unto all the people [05971] round about [05439], when they shall be in the siege [04692] both against Judah [03063] and against Jerusalem [03389]. 38 12 3 And in that day [03117] will I make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a burdensome [04614] stone [068] for all people [05971]: all that burden [06006] themselves with it shall be cut in pieces [08295] [08295], though all the people [01471] of the earth [0776] be gathered together [0622] against it. 38 12 4 In that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], I will smite [05221] every horse [05483] with astonishment [08541], and his rider [07392] with madness [07697]: and I will open [06491] mine eyes [05869] upon the house [01004] of Judah [03063], and will smite [05221] every horse [05483] of the people [05971] with blindness [05788]. 38 12 5 And the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] shall say [0559] in their heart [03820], The inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] shall be my strength [0556] in the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] their God [0430]. 38 12 6 In that day [03117] will I make [07760] the governors [0441] of Judah [03063] like an hearth [03595] of fire [0784] among the wood [06086], and like a torch [03940] of fire [0784] in a sheaf [05995]; and they shall devour [0398] all the people [05971] round about [05439], on the right hand [03225] and on the left [08040]: and Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] again in her own place, even in Jerusalem [03389]. 38 12 7 The LORD [03068] also shall save [03467] the tents [0168] of Judah [03063] first [07223], that the glory [08597] of the house [01004] of David [01732] and the glory [08597] of the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] do not magnify [01431] themselves against Judah [03063]. 38 12 8 In that day [03117] shall the LORD [03068] defend [01598] the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389]; and he that is feeble [03782] among them at that day [03117] shall be as David [01732]; and the house [01004] of David [01732] shall be as God [0430], as the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] before [06440] them. 38 12 9 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that I will seek [01245] to destroy [08045] all the nations [01471] that come [0935] against Jerusalem [03389]. 38 12 10 And I will pour [08210] upon the house [01004] of David [01732], and upon the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], the spirit [07307] of grace [02580] and of supplications [08469]: and they shall look [05027] upon me whom they have pierced [01856], and they shall mourn [04553] for him, as one mourneth [05594] for his only [03173] son, and shall be in bitterness [04843] for him, as one that is in bitterness [04843] for his firstborn [01060]. 38 12 11 In that day [03117] shall there be a great [01431] mourning [04553] in Jerusalem [03389], as the mourning [04553] of Hadadrimmon [01910] in the valley [01237] of Megiddon [04023]. 38 12 12 And the land [0776] shall mourn [05594], every [04940] family [04940] apart [0905]; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of David [01732] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of the house [01004] of Nathan [05416] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; 38 12 13 The family [04940] of the house [01004] of Levi [03878] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; the family [04940] of Shimei [08097] apart, and their wives [0802] apart; 38 12 14 All the families [04940] that remain [07604], every family [04940] apart, and their wives [0802] apart. 38 13 1 In that day [03117] there shall be a fountain [04726] opened [06605] to the house [01004] of David [01732] and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389] for sin [02403] and for uncleanness [05079]. 38 13 2 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that I will cut off [03772] the names [08034] of the idols [06091] out of the land [0776], and they shall no more be remembered [02142]: and also I will cause the prophets [05030] and the unclean [02932] spirit [07307] to pass [05674] out of the land [0776]. 38 13 3 And it shall come to pass, that when any [0376] shall yet prophesy [05012], then his father [01] and his mother [0517] that begat [03205] him shall say [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not live [02421]; for thou speakest [01696] lies [08267] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]: and his father [01] and his mother [0517] that begat [03205] him shall thrust [01856] him through when he prophesieth [05012]. 38 13 4 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the prophets [05030] shall be ashamed [0954] every one [0376] of his vision [02384], when he hath prophesied [05012]; neither shall they wear [03847] a rough [08181] garment [0155] to deceive [03584]: 38 13 5 But he shall say [0559], I am no prophet [05030], I am an husbandman [0376] [05647] [0127]; for man [0120] taught me to keep cattle [07069] from my youth [05271]. 38 13 6 And one shall say [0559] unto him, What are these wounds [04347] in thine hands [03027]? Then he shall answer [0559], Those with which I was wounded [05221] in the house [01004] of my friends [0157]. 38 13 7 Awake [05782], O sword [02719], against my shepherd [07462], and against the man [01397] that is my fellow [05997], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: smite [05221] the shepherd [07462], and the sheep [06629] shall be scattered [06327]: and I will turn [07725] mine hand [03027] upon the little ones [06819]. 38 13 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land [0776], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], two [08147] parts [06310] therein shall be cut off [03772] and die [01478]; but the third [07992] shall be left [03498] therein. 38 13 9 And I will bring [0935] the third part [07992] through the fire [0784], and will refine [06884] them as silver [03701] is refined [06884], and will try [0974] them as gold [02091] is tried [0974]: they shall call [07121] on my name [08034], and I will hear [06030] them: I will say [0559], It is my people [05971]: and they shall say [0559], The LORD [03068] is my God [0430]. 38 14 1 Behold, the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] cometh [0935], and thy spoil [07998] shall be divided [02505] in the midst [07130] of thee. 38 14 2 For I will gather [0622] all nations [01471] against Jerusalem [03389] to battle [04421]; and the city [05892] shall be taken [03920], and the houses [01004] rifled [08155], and the women [0802] ravished [07901] [07693]; and half [02677] of the city [05892] shall go forth [03318] into captivity [01473], and the residue [03499] of the people [05971] shall not be cut off [03772] from the city [05892]. 38 14 3 Then shall the LORD [03068] go forth [03318], and fight [03898] against those nations [01471], as when [03117] he fought [03898] in the day [03117] of battle [07128]. 38 14 4 And his feet [07272] shall stand [05975] in that day [03117] upon the mount [02022] of Olives [02132], which is before [06440] Jerusalem [03389] on the east [06924], and the mount [02022] of Olives [02132] shall cleave [01234] in the midst [02677] thereof toward the east [04217] and toward the west [03220], and there shall be a very [03966] great [01419] valley [01516]; and half [02677] of the mountain [02022] shall remove [04185] toward the north [06828], and half [02677] of it toward the south [05045]. 38 14 5 And ye shall flee [05127] to the valley [01516] of the mountains [02022]; for the valley [01516] of the mountains [02022] shall reach [05060] unto Azal [0682]: yea, ye shall flee [05127], like as ye fled [05127] from before [06440] the earthquake [07494] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818] king [04428] of Judah [03063]: and the LORD [03068] my God [0430] shall come [0935], and all the saints [06918] with thee. 38 14 6 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the light [0216] shall not be clear [03368], nor dark [07087] [07087]: 38 14 7 But it shall be one [0259] day [03117] which shall be known [03045] to the LORD [03068], not day [03117], nor night [03915]: but it shall come to pass, that at evening [06153] time [06256] it shall be light [0216]. 38 14 8 And it shall be in that day [03117], that living [02416] waters [04325] shall go out [03318] from Jerusalem [03389]; half [02677] of them toward the former [06931] sea [03220], and half [02677] of them toward the hinder [0314] sea [03220]: in summer [07019] and in winter [02779] shall it be. 38 14 9 And the LORD [03068] shall be king [04428] over all the earth [0776]: in that day [03117] shall there be one [0259] LORD [03068], and his name [08034] one [0259]. 38 14 10 All the land [0776] shall be turned [05437] as a plain [06160] from Geba [01387] to Rimmon [07417] south [05045] of Jerusalem [03389]: and it shall be lifted up [07213], and inhabited [03427] in her place, from Benjamin's [01144] gate [08179] unto the place [04725] of the first [07223] gate [08179], unto the corner [06434] gate [08179], and from the tower [04026] of Hananeel [02606] unto the king's [04428] winepresses [03342]. 38 14 11 And men shall dwell [03427] in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction [02764]; but Jerusalem [03389] shall be safely [0983] inhabited [03427]. 38 14 12 And this shall be the plague [04046] wherewith the LORD [03068] will smite [05062] all the people [05971] that have fought [06633] against Jerusalem [03389]; Their flesh [01320] shall consume away [04743] while they stand [05975] upon their feet [07272], and their eyes [05869] shall consume away [04743] in their holes [02356], and their tongue [03956] shall consume away [04743] in their mouth [06310]. 38 14 13 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that a great [07227] tumult [04103] from the LORD [03068] shall be among them; and they shall lay hold [02388] every one [0376] on the hand [03027] of his neighbour [07453], and his hand [03027] shall rise up [05927] against the hand [03027] of his neighbour [07453]. 38 14 14 And Judah [03063] also shall fight [03898] at Jerusalem [03389]; and the wealth [02428] of all the heathen [01471] round about [05439] shall be gathered together [0622], gold [02091], and silver [03701], and apparel [0899], in great [03966] abundance [07230]. 38 14 15 And so shall be the plague [04046] of the horse [05483], of the mule [06505], of the camel [01581], and of the ass [02543], and of all the beasts [0929] that shall be in these [01992] tents [04264], as this plague [04046]. 38 14 16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left [03498] of all the nations [01471] which came [0935] against Jerusalem [03389] shall even go up [05927] from [01767] year [08141] to year [08141] to worship [07812] the King [04428], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and to keep [02287] the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]. 38 14 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up [05927] of all the families [04940] of the earth [0776] unto Jerusalem [03389] to worship [07812] the King [04428], the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], even upon them shall be no rain [01653]. 38 14 18 And if the family [04940] of Egypt [04714] go not up [05927], and come [0935] not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague [04046], wherewith the LORD [03068] will smite [05062] the heathen [01471] that come not up [05927] to keep [02287] the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]. 38 14 19 This shall be the punishment [02403] of Egypt [04714], and the punishment [02403] of all nations [01471] that come not up [05927] to keep [02287] the feast [02282] of tabernacles [05521]. 38 14 20 In that day [03117] shall there be upon the bells [04698] of the horses [05483], HOLINESS [06944] UNTO THE LORD [03068]; and the pots [05518] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall be like the bowls [04219] before [06440] the altar [04196]. 38 14 21 Yea, every pot [05518] in Jerusalem [03389] and in Judah [03063] shall be holiness [06944] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: and all they that sacrifice [02076] shall come [0935] and take [03947] of them, and seethe [01310] therein: and in that day [03117] there shall be no more the Canaanite [03669] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 1 1 The burden [04853] of the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] to Israel [03478] by [03027] Malachi [04401]. 39 1 2 I have loved [0157] you, saith [05002] the LORD [03068]. Yet ye say [0559], Wherein hast thou loved [0157] us? Was not Esau [06215] Jacob's [03290] brother [0251]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068]: yet I loved [0157] Jacob [03290], 39 1 3 And I hated [08130] Esau [06215], and laid [07760] his mountains [02022] and his heritage [05159] waste [08077] for the dragons [08568] of the wilderness [04057]. 39 1 4 Whereas Edom [0123] saith [0559], We are impoverished [07567], but we will return [07725] and build [01129] the desolate places [02723]; thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], They shall build [01129], but I will throw down [02040]; and they shall call [07121] them, The border [01366] of wickedness [07564], and, The people [05971] against whom the LORD [03068] hath indignation [02194] for [05704] ever [05769]. 39 1 5 And your eyes [05869] shall see [07200], and ye shall say [0559], The LORD [03068] will be magnified [01431] from the border [01366] of Israel [03478]. 39 1 6 A son [01121] honoureth [03513] his father [01], and a servant [05650] his master [0113]: if then I be a father [01], where is mine honour [03519]? and if I be a master [0113], where is my fear [04172]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] unto you, O priests [03548], that despise [0959] my name [08034]. And ye say [0559], Wherein have we despised [0959] thy name [08034]? 39 1 7 Ye offer [05066] polluted [01351] bread [03899] upon mine altar [04196]; and ye say [0559], Wherein have we polluted [01351] thee? In that ye say [0559], The table [07979] of the LORD [03068] is contemptible [0959]. 39 1 8 And if ye offer [05066] the blind [05787] for sacrifice [02076], is it not evil [07451]? and if ye offer [05066] the lame [06455] and sick [02470], is it not evil [07451]? offer [07126] it now unto thy governor [06346]; will he be pleased [07521] with thee, or accept [05375] thy person [06440]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 1 9 And now, I pray you, beseech [02470] [06440] God [0410] that he will be gracious [02603] unto us: this hath been by your means [03027]: will he regard [05375] your persons [06440]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 1 10 Who is there even among you that would shut [05462] the doors [01817] for nought? neither do ye kindle [0215] fire on mine altar [04196] for nought [02600]. I have no pleasure [02656] in you, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], neither will I accept [07521] an offering [04503] at your hand [03027]. 39 1 11 For from the rising [04217] of the sun [08121] even unto the going down [03996] of the same my name [08034] shall be great [01419] among the Gentiles [01471]; and in every place [04725] incense [06999] shall be offered [05066] unto my name [08034], and a pure [02889] offering [04503]: for my name [08034] shall be great [01419] among the heathen [01471], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 1 12 But ye have profaned [02490] it, in that ye say [0559], The table [07979] of the LORD [03068] is polluted [01351]; and the fruit [05108] thereof, even his meat [0400], is contemptible [0959]. 39 1 13 Ye said [0559] also, Behold, what a weariness [04972] is it! and ye have snuffed [05301] at it, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; and ye brought [0935] that which was torn [01497], and the lame [06455], and the sick [02470]; thus ye brought [0935] an offering [04503]: should I accept [07521] this of your hand [03027]? saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. 39 1 14 But cursed [0779] be the deceiver [05230], which [03426] hath in his flock [05739] a male [02145], and voweth [05087], and sacrificeth [02076] unto the Lord [0136] a corrupt thing [07843]: for I am a great [01419] King [04428], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], and my name [08034] is dreadful [03372] among the heathen [01471]. 39 2 1 And now, O ye priests [03548], this commandment [04687] is for you. 39 2 2 If ye will not hear [08085], and if ye will not lay [07760] it to heart [03820], to give [05414] glory [03519] unto my name [08034], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I will even send [07971] a curse [03994] upon you, and I will curse [0779] your blessings [01293]: yea, I have cursed [0779] them already, because ye do not lay [07760] it to heart [03820]. 39 2 3 Behold, I will corrupt [01605] your seed [02233], and spread [02219] dung [06569] upon your faces [06440], even the dung [06569] of your solemn feasts [02282]; and one shall take you away [05375] with it. 39 2 4 And ye shall know [03045] that I have sent [07971] this commandment [04687] unto you, that my covenant [01285] might be with Levi [03878], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 2 5 My covenant [01285] was with him of life [02416] and peace [07965]; and I gave [05414] them to him for the fear [04172] wherewith he feared [03372] me, and was afraid [02865] before [06440] my name [08034]. 39 2 6 The law [08451] of truth [0571] was in his mouth [06310], and iniquity [05766] was not found [04672] in his lips [08193]: he walked [01980] with me in peace [07965] and equity [04334], and did turn [07725] many [07227] away [07725] from iniquity [05771]. 39 2 7 For the priest's [03548] lips [08193] should keep [08104] knowledge [01847], and they should seek [01245] the law [08451] at his mouth [06310]: for he is the messenger [04397] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 2 8 But ye are departed [05493] out of the way [01870]; ye have caused many [07227] to stumble [03782] at the law [08451]; ye have corrupted [07843] the covenant [01285] of Levi [03878], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 2 9 Therefore have I also made [05414] you contemptible [0959] and base [08217] before all the people [05971], according [06310] as ye have not kept [08104] my ways [01870], but have been partial [05375] [06440] in the law [08451]. 39 2 10 Have we not all one [0259] father [01]? hath not one [0259] God [0410] created [01254] us? why do we deal treacherously [0898] every man [0376] against his brother [0251], by profaning [02490] the covenant [01285] of our fathers [01]? 39 2 11 Judah [03063] hath dealt treacherously [0898], and an abomination [08441] is committed [06213] in Israel [03478] and in Jerusalem [03389]; for Judah [03063] hath profaned [02490] the holiness [06944] of the LORD [03068] which he loved [0157], and hath married [01166] the daughter [01323] of a strange [05236] god [0410]. 39 2 12 The LORD [03068] will cut off [03772] the man [0376] that doeth [06213] this, the master [05782] and the scholar [06030], out of the tabernacles [0168] of Jacob [03290], and him that offereth [05066] an offering [04503] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 2 13 And this have ye done [06213] again [08145], covering [03680] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] with tears [01832], with weeping [01065], and with crying out [0603], insomuch that he regardeth [06437] not the offering [04503] any more, or receiveth [03947] it with good will [07522] at your hand [03027]. 39 2 14 Yet ye say [0559], Wherefore [04100]? Because the LORD [03068] hath been witness [05749] between thee and the wife [0802] of thy youth [05271], against whom thou hast dealt treacherously [0898]: yet is she thy companion [02278], and the wife [0802] of thy covenant [01285]. 39 2 15 And did not he make [06213] one [0259]? Yet had he the residue [07605] of the spirit [07307]. And wherefore one [0259]? That he might seek [01245] a godly [0430] seed [02233]. Therefore take heed [08104] to your spirit [07307], and let none deal treacherously [0898] against the wife [0802] of his youth [05271]. 39 2 16 For the LORD [03068], the God [0430] of Israel [03478], saith [0559] that he hateth [08130] putting away [07971]: for one covereth [03680] violence [02555] with his garment [03830], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: therefore take heed [08104] to your spirit [07307], that ye deal not treacherously [0898]. 39 2 17 Ye have wearied [03021] the LORD [03068] with your words [01697]. Yet ye say [0559], Wherein have we wearied [03021] him? When ye say [0559], Every one that doeth [06213] evil [07451] is good [02896] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and he delighteth [02654] in them; or, Where is the God [0430] of judgment [04941]? 39 3 1 Behold, I will send [07971] my messenger [04397], and he shall prepare [06437] the way [01870] before [06440] me: and the Lord [0113], whom ye seek [01245], shall suddenly [06597] come [0935] to his temple [01964], even the messenger [04397] of the covenant [01285], whom ye delight [02655] in: behold, he shall come [0935], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 3 2 But who may abide [03557] the day [03117] of his coming [0935]? and who shall stand [05975] when he appeareth [07200]? for he is like a refiner's [06884] fire [0784], and like fullers [03526] ' soap [01287]: 39 3 3 And he shall sit [03427] as a refiner [06884] and purifier [02891] of silver [03701]: and he shall purify [02891] the sons [01121] of Levi [03878], and purge [02212] them as gold [02091] and silver [03701], that they may offer [05066] unto the LORD [03068] an offering [04503] in righteousness [06666]. 39 3 4 Then shall the offering [04503] of Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] be pleasant [06149] unto the LORD [03068], as in the days [03117] of old [05769], and as in former [06931] years [08141]. 39 3 5 And I will come near [07126] to you to judgment [04941]; and I will be a swift [04116] witness [05707] against the sorcerers [03784], and against the adulterers [05003], and against false [08267] swearers [07650], and against those that oppress [06231] the hireling [07916] in his wages [07939], the widow [0490], and the fatherless [03490], and that turn aside [05186] the stranger [01616] from his right, and fear [03372] not me, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 3 6 For I am the LORD [03068], I change [08138] not; therefore ye sons [01121] of Jacob [03290] are not consumed [03615]. 39 3 7 Even from the days [03117] of your fathers [01] ye are gone away [05493] from mine ordinances [02706], and have not kept [08104] them. Return [07725] unto me, and I will return [07725] unto you, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. But ye said [0559], Wherein shall we return [07725]? 39 3 8 Will a man [0120] rob [06906] God [0430]? Yet ye have robbed [06906] me. But ye say [0559], Wherein have we robbed [06906] thee? In tithes [04643] and offerings [08641]. 39 3 9 Ye are cursed [0779] with a curse [03994]: for ye have robbed [06906] me, even this whole nation [01471]. 39 3 10 Bring [0935] ye all the tithes [04643] into the storehouse [0214], that there may be meat [02964] in mine house [01004], and prove [0974] me now herewith [02063], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], if I will not open [06605] you the windows [0699] of heaven [08064], and pour you out [07324] a blessing [01293], that there shall not be room enough [01767] to receive it. 39 3 11 And I will rebuke [01605] the devourer [0398] for your sakes, and he shall not destroy [07843] the fruits [06529] of your ground [0127]; neither shall your vine [01612] cast her fruit [07921] before the time in the field [07704], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 3 12 And all nations [01471] shall call you blessed [0833]: for ye shall be a delightsome [02656] land [0776], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 3 13 Your words [01697] have been stout [02388] against me, saith [0559] the LORD [03068]. Yet ye say [0559], What have we spoken [01696] so much against thee? 39 3 14 Ye have said [0559], It is vain [07723] to serve [05647] God [0430]: and what profit [01215] is it that we have kept [08104] his ordinance [04931], and that we have walked [01980] mournfully [06941] before [06440] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]? 39 3 15 And now we call [0833] the proud [02086] happy [0833]; yea, they that work [06213] wickedness [07564] are set up [01129]; yea, they that tempt [0974] God [0430] are even delivered [04422]. 39 3 16 Then they that feared [03373] the LORD [03068] spake often [01696] one [0376] to another [07453]: and the LORD [03068] hearkened [07181], and heard [08085] it, and a book [05612] of remembrance [02146] was written [03789] before [06440] him for them that feared [03373] the LORD [03068], and that thought [02803] upon his name [08034]. 39 3 17 And they shall be mine, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], in that day [03117] when I make up [06213] my jewels [05459]; and I will spare [02550] them, as a man [0376] spareth [02550] his own son [01121] that serveth [05647] him. 39 3 18 Then shall ye return [07725], and discern [07200] between the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563], between him that serveth [05647] God [0430] and him that serveth [05647] him not. 39 4 1 For, behold, the day [03117] cometh [0935], that shall burn [01197] as an oven [08574]; and all the proud [02086], yea, and all that do [06213] wickedly [07564], shall be stubble [07179]: and the day [03117] that cometh [0935] shall burn them up [03857], saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], that it shall leave [05800] them neither root [08328] nor branch [06057]. 39 4 2 But unto you that fear [03373] my name [08034] shall the Sun [08121] of righteousness [06666] arise [02224] with healing [04832] in his wings [03671]; and ye shall go forth [03318], and grow up [06335] as calves [05695] of the stall [04770]. 39 4 3 And ye shall tread down [06072] the wicked [07563]; for they shall be ashes [0665] under the soles [03709] of your feet [07272] in the day [03117] that I shall do [06213] this, saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]. 39 4 4 Remember [02142] ye the law [08451] of Moses [04872] my servant [05650], which I commanded [06680] unto him in Horeb [02722] for all Israel [03478], with the statutes [02706] and judgments [04941]. 39 4 5 Behold, I will send [07971] you Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030] before [06440] the coming [0935] of the great [01419] and dreadful [03372] day [03117] of the LORD [03068]: 39 4 6 And he shall turn [07725] the heart [03820] of the fathers [01] to the children [01121], and the heart [03820] of the children [01121] to their fathers [01], lest I come [0935] and smite [05221] the earth [0776] with a curse [02764]. 40 1 1 The book [976] of the generation [1078] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the son [5207] of David [1138], the son [5207] of Abraham [11]. 40 1 2 Abraham [11] begat [1080] Isaac [2464];

and [2532] from [575] David [1138] until [2193] the carrying away [3350] into Babylon [897] are fourteen [1180] generations [1074]; and [2532] from [575] the carrying away [3350] into Babylon [897] unto [2193] Christ [5547] are fourteen [1180] generations [1074]. 40 1 18 Now [1161] the birth [1083] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] was [2258] on this wise [3779]: When as [1063] his [846] mother [3384] Mary [3137] was espoused [3423] to Joseph [2501], before [4250] [2228] they [846] came together [4905], she was found [2147] with child [1722] [1064] [2192] of [1537] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 40 1 19 Then [1161] Joseph [2501] her [846] husband [435], being [5607] a just [1342] man, and [2532] not [3361] willing [2309] to make [3856] her [846] a publick example [3856], was minded [1014] to put [630] her [846] away [630] privily [2977]. 40 1 20 But [1161] while he [846] thought on [1760] these things [5023], behold [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] appeared [5316] unto him [846] in [2596] a dream [3677], saying [3004], Joseph [2501], thou son [5207] of David [1138], fear [5399] not [3361] to take [3880] unto thee [4675] Mary [3137] thy wife [1135]: for [1063] that which is conceived [1080] in [1722] her [846] is [2076] of [1537] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 40 1 21 And [1161] she shall bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] thou shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424]: for [1063] he [846] shall save [4982] his [846] people [2992] from [575] their [846] sins [266]. 40 1 22 Now [1161] all [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] of [5259] the Lord [2962] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], 40 1 23 Behold [2400], a virgin [3933] shall be with child [1722] [1064] [2192], and [2532] shall bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] they shall call [2564] his [846] name [3686] Emmanuel [1694], which [3739] being interpreted [3177] is [2076], God [2316] with [3326] us [2257]. 40 1 24 Then [1161] Joseph [2501] being raised [1326] from [575] sleep [5258] did [4160] as [5613] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] had bidden [4367] him [846], and [2532] took [3880] unto him [846] his wife [1135]: 40 1 25 And [2532] knew [1097] her [846] not [3756] till [2193] [3739] she had brought forth [5088] her [846] firstborn [4416] son [5207]: and [2532] he called [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424]. 40 2 1 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] was born [1080] in [1722] Bethlehem [965] of Judaea [2449] in [1722] the days [2250] of Herod [2264] the king [935], behold [2400], there came [3854] wise men [3097] from [575] the east [395] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], 40 2 2 Saying [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] he that is born [5088] King [935] of the Jews [2453]? for [1063] we have seen [1492] his [846] star [792] in [1722] the east [395], and [2532] are come [2064] to worship [4352] him [846]. 40 2 3 When [1161] Herod [2264] the king [935] had heard [191] these things, he was troubled [5015], and [2532] all [3956] Jerusalem [2414] with [3326] him [846]. 40 2 4 And [2532] when he had gathered [4863] all [3956] the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] of the people [2992] together [4863], he demanded [4441] of [3844] them [846] where [4226] Christ [5547] should be born [1080]. 40 2 5 And [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], In [1722] Bethlehem [965] of Judaea [2449]: for [1063] thus [3779] it is written [1125] by [1223] the prophet [4396], 40 2 6 And [2532] thou [4771] Bethlehem [965], in the land [1093] of Juda [2448], art [1488] not [3760] the least [1646] among [1722] the princes [2232] of Juda [2448]: for [1063] out of [1537] thee [4675] shall come [1831] a Governor [2233], that [3748] shall rule [4165] my [3450] people [2992] Israel [2474]. 40 2 7 Then [5119] Herod [2264], when he had privily [2977] called [2564] the wise men [3097], enquired [198] of [3844] them [846] diligently [198] what time [5550] the star [792] appeared [5316]. 40 2 8 And [2532] he sent [3992] them [846] to [1519] Bethlehem [965], and said [2036], Go [4198] and search [1833] diligently [199] for [4012] the young child [3813]; and [1161] when [1875] ye have found [2147] him, bring [518] me [3427] word again [518], that [3704] I may come [2064] and worship [4352] him [846] also [2504]. 40 2 9 When [1161] they had heard [191] the king [935], they departed [4198]; and [2532], lo [2400], the star [792], which [3739] they saw [1492] in [1722] the east [395], went before [4254] them [846], till [2193] it came [2064] and stood [2476] over [1883] where [3757] the young child [3813] was [2258]. 40 2 10 When [1161] they saw [1492] the star [792], they rejoiced [5463] with exceeding [4970] great [3173] joy [5479]. 40 2 11 And [2532] when they were come [2064] into [1519] the house [3614], they saw [2147] [1492] the young child [3813] with [3326] Mary [3137] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] fell down [4098], and worshipped [4352] him [846]: and [2532] when they had opened [455] their [846] treasures [2344], they presented [4374] unto him [846] gifts [1435]; gold [5557], and [2532] frankincense [3030], and [2532] myrrh [4666]. 40 2 12 And [2532] being warned of God [5537] in [2596] a dream [3677] that they should [344] not [3361] return [344] to [4314] Herod [2264], they departed [402] into [1519] their own [846] country [5561] another [1223] [243] way [3598]. 40 2 13 And [1161] when they [846] were departed [402], behold [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] appeareth [5316] to Joseph [2501] in [2596] a dream [3677], saying [3004], Arise [1453], and take [3880] the young child [3813] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] flee [5343] into [1519] Egypt [125], and [2532] be thou [2468] there [1563] until [2193] I [302] bring [2036] thee [4671] word [2036]: for [1063] Herod [2264] will [3195] seek [2212] the young child [3813] to destroy [622] him [846]. 40 2 14 When [1161] he arose [1453], he took [3880] the young child [3813] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384] by night [3571], and [2532] departed [402] into [1519] Egypt [125]: 40 2 15 And [2532] was [2258] there [1563] until [2193] the death [5054] of Herod [2264]: that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] of [5259] the Lord [2962] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], Out of [1537] Egypt [125] have I called [2564] my [3450] son [5207]. 40 2 16 Then [5119] Herod [2264], when he saw [1492] that [3754] he was mocked [1702] of [5259] the wise men [3097], was exceeding [3029] wroth [2373], and [2532] sent forth [649], and slew [337] all [3956] the children [3816] that were in [1722] Bethlehem [965], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] the coasts [3725] thereof [846], from [575] two years old [1332] and [2532] under [2736], according [2596] to the time [5550] which [3739] he had diligently enquired [198] of [3844] the wise men [3097]. 40 2 17 Then [5119] was fulfilled [4137] that which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [5259] Jeremy [2408] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], 40 2 18 In [1722] Rama [4471] was there [191] a voice [5456] heard [191], lamentation [2355], and [2532] weeping [2805], and [2532] great [4183] mourning [3602], Rachel [4478] weeping [2799] for her [846] children [5043], and [2532] would [2309] not [3756] be comforted [3870], because [3754] they are [1526] not [3756]. 40 2 19 But [1161] when Herod [2264] was dead [5053], behold [2400], an angel [32] of the Lord [2962] appeareth [5316] in [2596] a dream [3677] to Joseph [2501] in [1722] Egypt [125], 40 2 20 Saying [3004], Arise [1453], and take [3880] the young child [3813] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] go [4198] into [1519] the land [1093] of Israel [2474]: for [1063] they are dead [2348] which [3588] sought [2212] the young child's [3813] life [5590]. 40 2 21 And [1161] he arose [1453], and took [3880] the young child [3813] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] the land [1093] of Israel [2474]. 40 2 22 But [1161] when he heard [191] that [3754] Archelaus [745] did reign [936] in [1909] Judaea [2449] in the room [473] of his [846] father [3962] Herod [2264], he was afraid [5399] to go [565] thither [1563]: notwithstanding [1161], being warned of God [5537] in [2596] a dream [3677], he turned aside [402] into [1519] the parts [3313] of Galilee [1056]: 40 2 23 And [2532] he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] a city [4172] called [3004] Nazareth [3478]: that [3704] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] the prophets [4396], [3754] He shall be called [2564] a Nazarene [3480]. 40 3 1 [1161] In [1722] those [1565] days [2250] came [3854] John [2491] the Baptist [910], preaching [2784] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] of Judaea [2449], 40 3 2 And [2532] saying [3004], Repent ye [3340]: for [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448]. 40 3 3 For [1063] this [3778] is he [2076] that was spoken [4483] of by [5259] the prophet [4396] Esaias [2268], saying [3004], The voice [5456] of one crying [994] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], Prepare ye [2090] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962], make [4160] his [846] paths [5147] straight [2117]. 40 3 4 And [1161] the same [846] John [2491] had [2192] his [846] raiment [1742] of [575] camel's [2574] hair [2359], and [2532] a leathern [1193] girdle [2223] about [4012] his [846] loins [3751]; and [1161] his [846] meat [5160] was [2258] locusts [200] and [2532] wild [66] honey [3192]. 40 3 5 Then [5119] went out [1607] to [4314] him [846] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] all [3956] the region round about [4066] Jordan [2446], 40 3 6 And [2532] were baptized [907] of [5259] him [846] in [1722] Jordan [2446], confessing [1843] their [846] sins [266]. 40 3 7 But [1161] when he saw [1492] many [4183] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] Sadducees [4523] come [2064] to [1909] his [846] baptism [908], he said [2036] unto them [846], O generation [1081] of vipers [2191], who [5101] hath warned [5263] you [5213] to flee [5343] from [575] the wrath [3709] to come [3195]? 40 3 8 Bring forth [4160] therefore [3767] fruits [2590] meet [514] for repentance [3341]: 40 3 9 And [2532] think [1380] not [3361] to say [3004] within [1722] yourselves [1438], We have [2192] Abraham [11] to our father [3962]: for [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] God [2316] is able [1410] of [1537] these [5130] stones [3037] to raise up [1453] children [5043] unto Abraham [11]. 40 3 10 And [1161] now [2235] also [2532] the axe [513] is laid [2749] unto [4314] the root [4491] of the trees [1186]: therefore [3767] every [3956] tree [1186] which bringeth [4160] not [3361] forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590] is hewn down [1581], and [2532] cast [906] into [1519] the fire [4442]. 40 3 11 I [1473] indeed [3303] baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204] unto [1519] repentance [3341]: but [1161] he that cometh [2064] after [3694] me [3450] is [2076] mightier than [2478] I [3450], whose [3739] shoes [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to bear [941]: he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] with fire [4442]: 40 3 12 Whose [3739] fan [4425] is in [1722] his [846] hand [5495], and [2532] he will throughly purge [1245] his [846] floor [257], and [2532] gather [4863] his [846] wheat [4621] into [1519] the garner [596]; but [1161] he will burn up [2618] the chaff [892] with unquenchable [762] fire [4442]. 40 3 13 Then [5119] cometh [3854] Jesus [2424] from [575] Galilee [1056] to [1909] Jordan [2446] unto [4314] John [2491], to be baptized [907] of [5259] him [846]. 40 3 14 But [1161] John [2491] forbad [1254] him, saying [3004], I [1473] have [2192] need [5532] to be baptized [907] of [5259] thee [4675], and [2532] comest [2064] thou [4771] to [4314] me [3165]? 40 3 15 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Suffer [863] it to be so now [737]: for [1063] thus [3779] it becometh [4241] [2076] us [2254] to fulfil [4137] all [3956] righteousness [1343]. Then [5119] he suffered [863] him [846]. 40 3 16 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he was baptized [907], went up [305] straightway [2117] out of [575] the water [5204]: and [2532], lo [2400], the heavens [3772] were opened [455] unto him [846], and [2532] he saw [1492] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] descending [2597] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] lighting [2064] upon [1909] him [846]: 40 3 17 And [2532] lo [2400] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106]. 40 4 1 Then [5119] was Jesus [2424] led up [321] of [5259] the Spirit [4151] into [1519] the wilderness [2048] to be tempted [3985] of [5259] the devil [1228]. 40 4 2 And [2532] when he had fasted [3522] forty [5062] days [2250] and [2532] forty [5062] nights [3571], he was afterward [5305] an hungred [3983]. 40 4 3 And [2532] when the tempter [3985] came [4334] to him [846], he said [2036], If [1487] thou be [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316], command [2036] that [2443] these [3778] stones [3037] be made [1096] bread [740]. 40 4 4 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is written [1125], Man [444] shall [2198] not [3756] live [2198] by [1909] bread [740] alone [3441], but [235] by [1909] every [3956] word [4487] that proceedeth [1607] out of [1223] the mouth [4750] of God [2316]. 40 4 5 Then [5119] the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] setteth [2476] him [846] on [1909] a pinnacle [4419] of the temple [2411], 40 4 6 And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], If [1487] thou be [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316], cast [906] thyself [4572] down [2736]: for [1063] it is written [1125], [3754] He shall give [1781] his [846] angels [32] charge [1781] concerning [4012] thee [4675]: and [2532] in [1909] their hands [5495] they shall bear [142] thee [4571] up [142], lest at any time [3379] thou dash [4350] thy [4675] foot [4228] against [4314] a stone [3037]. 40 4 7 Jesus [2424] said [5346] unto him [846], It is written [1125] again [3825], Thou shalt [1598] not [3756] tempt [1598] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316]. 40 4 8 Again [3825], the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] an exceeding [3029] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [2889], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846]; 40 4 9 And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], All [3956] these things [5023] will I give [1325] thee [4671], if [1437] thou wilt fall down [4098] and worship [4352] me [3427]. 40 4 10 Then [5119] saith [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Get thee hence [5217], Satan [4567]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Thou shalt worship [4352] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316], and [2532] him [846] only [3441] shalt thou serve [3000]. 40 4 11 Then [5119] the devil [1228] leaveth [863] him [846], and [2532], behold [2400], angels [32] came [4334] and [2532] ministered [1247] unto him [846]. 40 4 12 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] had heard [191] that [3754] John [2491] was cast into prison [3860], he departed [402] into [1519] Galilee [1056]; 40 4 13 And [2532] leaving [2641] Nazareth [3478], he came [2064] and dwelt [2730] in [1519] Capernaum [2584], which [3588] is upon the sea coast [3864], in [1722] the borders [3725] of Zabulon [2194] and [2532] Nephthalim [3508]: 40 4 14 That [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], 40 4 15 The land [1093] of Zabulon [2194], and [2532] the land [1093] of Nephthalim [3508], by the way [3598] of the sea [2281], beyond [4008] Jordan [2446], Galilee [1056] of the Gentiles [1484]; 40 4 16 The people [2992] which [3588] sat [2521] in [1722] darkness [4655] saw [1492] great [3173] light [5457]; and [2532] to them which [3588] sat [2521] in [1722] the region [5561] and [2532] shadow [4639] of death [2288] light [5457] is sprung up [393] [846]. 40 4 17 From [575] that time [5119] Jesus [2424] began [756] to preach [2784], and [2532] to say [3004], Repent [3340]: for [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448]. 40 4 18 And [1161] Jesus [2424], walking [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], saw [1492] two [1417] brethren [80], Simon [4613] called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], casting [906] a net [293] into [1519] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231]. 40 4 19 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Follow [1205] [3694] me [3450], and [2532] I will make [4160] you [5209] fishers [231] of men [444]. 40 4 20 And [1161] they straightway [2112] left [863] their nets [1350], and followed [190] him [846]. 40 4 21 And [2532] going on [4260] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] other [243] two [1417] brethren [80], James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], in [1722] a ship [4143] with [3326] Zebedee [2199] their [846] father [3962], mending [2675] their [846] nets [1350]; and [2532] he called [2564] them [846]. 40 4 22 And [1161] they immediately [2112] left [863] the ship [4143] and [2532] their [846] father [3962], and followed [190] him [846]. 40 4 23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went about [4013] all [3650] Galilee [1056], teaching [1321] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864], and [2532] preaching [2784] the gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932], and [2532] healing [2323] all [3956] manner of sickness [3554] and [2532] all [3956] manner of disease [3119] among [1722] the people [2992]. 40 4 24 And [2532] his [846] fame [189] went [565] throughout [1519] all [3650] Syria [4947]: and [2532] they brought [4374] unto him [846] all [3956] sick [2560] people [2192] that were taken with [4912] divers [4164] diseases [3554] and [2532] torments [931], and [2532] those which were possessed with devils [1139], and [2532] those which were lunatick [4583], and [2532] those that had the palsy [3885]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846]. 40 4 25 And [2532] there followed [190] him [846] great [4183] multitudes of people [3793] from [575] Galilee [1056], and [2532] from Decapolis [1179], and [2532] from Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] from Judaea [2449], and [2532] from beyond [4008] Jordan [2446]. 40 5 1 And [1161] seeing [1492] the multitudes [3793], he went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735]: and [2532] when he [846] was set [2523], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846]: 40 5 2 And [2532] he opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750], and taught [1321] them [846], saying [3004], 40 5 3 Blessed [3107] are the poor [4434] in spirit [4151]: for [3754] theirs [846] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 5 4 Blessed [3107] are they that mourn [3996]: for [3754] they [846] shall be comforted [3870]. 40 5 5 Blessed [3107] are the meek [4239]: for [3754] they [846] shall inherit [2816] the earth [1093]. 40 5 6 Blessed [3107] are they which [3588] do hunger [3983] and [2532] thirst [1372] after righteousness [1343]: for [3754] they [846] shall be filled [5526]. 40 5 7 Blessed [3107] are the merciful [1655]: for [3754] they [846] shall obtain mercy [1653]. 40 5 8 Blessed [3107] are the pure [2513] in heart [2588]: for [3754] they [846] shall see [3700] God [2316]. 40 5 9 Blessed [3107] are the peacemakers [1518]: for [3754] they [846] shall be called [2564] the children [5207] of God [2316]. 40 5 10 Blessed [3107] are they which are persecuted [1377] for [1752] righteousness' sake [1343]: for [3754] theirs [846] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 5 11 Blessed [3107] are ye [2075], when [3752] men shall revile [3679] you [5209], and [2532] persecute [1377] you, and [2532] shall say [2036] all manner [3956] of evil [4190] [4487] against [2596] you [5216] falsely [5574], for my sake [1752] [1700]. 40 5 12 Rejoice [5463], and [2532] be exceeding glad [21]: for [3754] great [4183] is your [5216] reward [3408] in [1722] heaven [3772]: for [1063] so [3779] persecuted they [1377] the prophets [4396] which [3588] were before [4253] you [5216]. 40 5 13 Ye [5210] are [2075] the salt [217] of the earth [1093]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost his savour [3471], wherewith [1722] [5101] shall it be salted [233]? it is thenceforth [2089] good [2480] for [1519] nothing [3762], but [1508] to be cast [906] out [1854], and [2532] to be trodden under foot [2662] of [5259] men [444]. 40 5 14 Ye [5210] are [2075] the light [5457] of the world [2889]. A city [4172] that is set [2749] on [1883] an hill [3735] cannot [3756] [1410] be hid [2928]. 40 5 15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614]. 40 5 16 Let your [5216] light [5457] so [3779] shine [2989] before [1715] men [444], that [3704] they may see [1492] your [5216] good [2570] works [2041], and [2532] glorify [1392] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 5 17 Think [3543] not [3361] that [3754] I am come [2064] to destroy [2647] the law [3551], or [2228] the prophets [4396]: I am [2064] not [3756] come [2064] to destroy [2647], but [235] to fulfil [4137]. 40 5 18 For [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Till [2193] [302] heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] pass [3928], one [1520] jot [2503] or [2228] one [3391] tittle [2762] shall in no wise [3364] pass [3928] from [575] the law [3551], till [2193] [302] all [3956] be fulfilled [1096]. 40 5 19 Whosoever [3739] [1437] therefore [3767] shall break [3089] one [3391] of these [5130] least [1646] commandments [1785], and [2532] shall teach [1321] men [444] so [3779], he shall be called [2564] the least [1646] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall do [4160] and [2532] teach [1321] them, the same [3778] shall be called [2564] great [3173] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 5 20 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] except [3362] your [5216] righteousness [1343] shall exceed [4052] [4119] the righteousness of the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], ye shall in no case [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 5 21 Ye have heard [191] that [3754] it was said [4483] by them of old time [744], Thou shalt [5407] not [3756] kill [5407]; and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall kill [5407] shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the judgment [2920]: 40 5 22 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3956] is angry [3710] with his [846] brother [80] without a cause [1500] shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the judgment [2920]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] to his [846] brother [80], Raca [4469], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of the council [4892]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036], Thou fool [3474], shall be [2071] in danger [1777] of [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442]. 40 5 23 Therefore [3767] if [1437] thou bring [4374] thy [4675] gift [1435] to [1909] the altar [2379], and there [2546] rememberest [3415] that [3754] thy [4675] brother [80] hath [2192] ought [5100] against [2596] thee [4675]; 40 5 24 Leave [863] there [1563] thy [4675] gift [1435] before [1715] the altar [2379], and [2532] go thy way [5217]; first [4412] be reconciled [1259] to thy [4675] brother [80], and [2532] then [5119] come [2064] and offer [4374] thy [4675] gift [1435]. 40 5 25 Agree [2468] [2132] with thine [4675] adversary [476] quickly [5035], whiles [2193] [3755] thou art [1488] in [1722] the way [3598] with [3326] him [846]; lest at any time [3379] the adversary [476] deliver [3860] thee [4571] to the judge [2923], and [2532] the judge [2923] deliver [3860] thee [4571] to the officer [5257], and [2532] thou be cast [906] into [1519] prison [5438]. 40 5 26 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Thou shalt [1831] by no means [3364] come [1831] out thence [1564], till [2193] [302] thou hast paid [591] the uttermost [2078] farthing [2835]. 40 5 27 Ye have heard [191] that [3754] it was said [4483] by them of old time [744], Thou shalt [3431] not [3756] commit adultery [3431]: 40 5 28 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3956] looketh [991] on a woman [1135] to [4314] lust after [1937] her [846] hath committed adultery [3431] with her [846] already [2235] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588]. 40 5 29 And [1161] if [1487] thy [4675] right [1188] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1807] it [846] out [1807], and [2532] cast [906] it from [575] thee [4675]: for [1063] it is profitable [4851] for thee [4671] that [2443] one [1520] of thy [4675] members [3196] should perish [622], and [2532] not [3361] that thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] should be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067]. 40 5 30 And [2532] if [1487] thy [4675] right [1188] hand [5495] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [1581] it [846] off [1581], and [2532] cast [906] it from [575] thee [4675]: for [1063] it is profitable [4851] for thee [4671] that [2443] one [1520] of thy [4675] members [3196] should perish [622], and [2532] not [3361] that thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] should be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067]. 40 5 31 [1161] It hath been said [4483] [3754], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], let him give [1325] her [846] a writing of divorcement [647]: 40 5 32 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], saving [3924] for the cause [3056] of fornication [4202], causeth [4160] her [846] to commit adultery [3429]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall marry [1060] her that is divorced [630] committeth adultery [3429]. 40 5 33 Again [3825], ye have heard [191] that [3754] it hath been said [4483] by them of old time [744], Thou shalt [1964] not [3756] forswear thyself [1964], but [1161] shalt perform [591] unto the Lord [2962] thine [4675] oaths [3727]: 40 5 34 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], Swear [3660] not [3361] at all [3654]; neither [3383] by [1722] heaven [3772]; for [3754] it is [2076] God's [2316] throne [2362]: 40 5 35 Nor [3383] by [1722] the earth [1093]; for [3754] it is [2076] his [846] footstool [4228] [5286]: neither [3383] by [1519] Jerusalem [2414]; for [3754] it is [2076] the city [4172] of the great [3173] King [935]. 40 5 36 Neither [3383] shalt thou swear [3660] by [1722] thy [4675] head [2776], because [3754] thou canst [1410] not [3756] make [4160] one [3391] hair [2359] white [3022] or [2228] black [3189]. 40 5 37 But [1161] let [2077] your [5216] communication [3056] be [2077], Yea [3483], yea [3483]; Nay [3756], nay [3756]: for [1161] whatsoever is more [4053] than these [5130] cometh [2076] of [1537] evil [4190]. 40 5 38 Ye have heard [191] that [3754] it hath been said [4483], An eye [3788] for [473] an eye [3788], and [2532] a tooth [3599] for [473] a tooth [3599]: 40 5 39 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That ye resist [436] not [3361] evil [4190]: but [235] whosoever [3748] shall smite [4474] thee [4571] on [1909] thy [4675] right [1188] cheek [4600], turn [4762] to him [846] the other [243] also [2532]. 40 5 40 And [2532] if any man will [2309] sue [2919] thee [4671] at the law [2919], and [2532] take away [2983] thy [4675] coat [5509], let [863] him [846] have [863] thy cloke [2440] also [2532]. 40 5 41 And [2532] whosoever [3748] shall compel [29] thee [4571] to go [29] a [1520] mile [3400], go [5217] with [3326] him [846] twain [1417]. 40 5 42 Give [1325] to him that asketh [154] thee [4571], and [2532] from him that would [2309] borrow [1155] of [575] thee [4675] turn [654] not [3361] thou away [654]. 40 5 43 Ye have heard [191] that [3754] it hath been said [4483], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139], and [2532] hate [3404] thine [4675] enemy [2190]. 40 5 44 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], Love [25] your [5216] enemies [2190], bless [2127] them that curse [2672] you [5209], do [4160] good [2573] to them that hate [3404] you [5209], and [2532] pray [4336] for [5228] them which [3588] despitefully use [1908] you [5209], and [2532] persecute [1377] you [5209]; 40 5 45 That [3704] ye may be [1096] the children [5207] of your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]: for [3754] he maketh [393] his [846] sun [2246] to rise [393] on [1909] the evil [4190] and [2532] on the good [18], and [2532] sendeth rain [1026] on [1909] the just [1342] and [2532] on the unjust [94]. 40 5 46 For [1063] if [1437] ye love [25] them which [3588] love [25] you [5209], what [5101] reward [3408] have ye [2192]? do [4160] not [3780] even [2532] the publicans [5057] the same [846]? 40 5 47 And [2532] if [1437] ye salute [782] your [5216] brethren [80] only [3440], what [5101] do [4160] ye more [4053] than others? do [4160] not [3780] even [2532] the publicans [5057] so [3779]? 40 5 48 Be [2071] ye [5210] therefore [3767] perfect [5046], even [5618] as your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] is [2076] perfect [5046]. 40 6 1 Take heed [4337] that ye do [4160] not [3361] your [5216] alms [1654] before [1715] men [444], to be seen [4314] [2300] of them [846]: otherwise [1490] ye have [2192] no [3756] reward [3408] of [3844] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 6 2 Therefore [3767] when [3752] thou doest [4160] thine alms [1654], do [4537] not [3361] sound a trumpet [4537] before [1715] thee [4675], as [5618] the hypocrites [5273] do [4160] in [1722] the synagogues [4864] and [2532] in [1722] the streets [4505], that [3704] they may have glory [1392] of [5259] men [444]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], They have [568] their [846] reward [3408]. 40 6 3 But [1161] when thou [4675] doest [4160] alms [1654], let [1097] not [3361] thy [4675] left hand [710] know [1097] what [5101] thy [4675] right hand [1188] doeth [4160]: 40 6 4 That [3704] thine [4675] alms [1654] may be [5600] in [1722] secret [2927]: and [2532] thy [4675] Father [3962] which [3588] seeth [991] in [1722] secret [2927] himself [846] shall reward [591] thee [4671] openly [1722] [5318]. 40 6 5 And [2532] when [3752] thou prayest [4336], thou shalt [2071] not [3756] be [2071] as [5618] the hypocrites [5273] are: for [3754] they love [5368] to pray [4336] standing [2476] in [1722] the synagogues [4864] and [2532] in [1722] the corners [1137] of the streets [4113], that [3704] they may [302] be seen [5316] of men [444]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] They have [568] their [846] reward [3408]. 40 6 6 But [1161] thou [4771], when [3752] thou prayest [4336], enter [1525] into [1519] thy [4675] closet [5009], and [2532] when thou hast shut [2808] thy [4675] door [2374], pray [4336] to thy [4675] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] secret [2927]; and [2532] thy [4675] Father [3962] which [3588] seeth [991] in [1722] secret [2927] shall reward [591] thee [4671] openly [1722] [5318]. 40 6 7 But [1161] when ye pray [4336], use [945] not [3361] vain repetitions [945], as [5618] the heathen [1482] do: for [1063] they think [1380] that [3754] they shall be heard [1522] for [1722] their [846] much speaking [4180]. 40 6 8 Be [3666] not [3361] ye [3666] therefore [3767] like [3666] unto them [846]: for [1063] your [5216] Father [3962] knoweth [1492] what things [3739] ye have [2192] need of [5532], before [4253] ye [5209] ask [154] him [846]. 40 6 9 After this manner [3779] therefore [3767] pray [4336] ye [5210]: Our [2257] Father [3962] which [3588] art in [1722] heaven [3772], Hallowed be [37] thy [4675] name [3686]. 40 6 10 Thy [4675] kingdom [932] come [2064]. Thy [4675] will [2307] be done [1096] in [1909] earth [1093], as [2532] [5613] it is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 6 11 Give [1325] us [2254] this day [4594] our [2257] daily [1967] bread [740]. 40 6 12 And [2532] forgive [863] us [2254] our [2257] debts [3783], as [2532] [5613] we [2249] forgive [863] our [2257] debtors [3781]. 40 6 13 And [2532] lead [1533] us [2248] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986], but [235] deliver [4506] us [2248] from [575] evil [4190]: For [3754] thine [4675] is [2076] the kingdom [932], and [2532] the power [1411], and [2532] the glory [1391], for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281]. 40 6 14 For [1063] if [1437] ye forgive [863] men [444] their [846] trespasses [3900], your [5216] heavenly [3770] Father [3962] will also [2532] forgive [863] you [5213]: 40 6 15 But [1161] if [3362] ye forgive [863] not [3362] men [444] their [846] trespasses [3900], neither [3761] will your [5216] Father [3962] forgive [863] your [5216] trespasses [3900]. 40 6 16 Moreover [1161] when [3752] ye fast [3522], be [1096] not [3361], as [5618] the hypocrites [5273], of a sad countenance [4659]: for [1063] they disfigure [853] their [846] faces [4383], that [3704] they may appear [5316] unto men [444] to fast [3522]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] They have [568] their [846] reward [3408]. 40 6 17 But [1161] thou [4771], when thou fastest [3522], anoint [218] thine [4675] head [2776], and [2532] wash [3538] thy [4675] face [4383]; 40 6 18 That [3704] thou appear [5316] not [3361] unto men [444] to fast [3522], but [235] unto thy [4675] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] secret [2927]: and [2532] thy [4675] Father [3962], which [3588] seeth [991] in [1722] secret [2927], shall reward [591] thee [4671] openly [1722] [5318]. 40 6 19 Lay [2343] not [3361] up [2343] for yourselves [5213] treasures [2344] upon [1909] earth [1093], where [3699] moth [4597] and [2532] rust [1035] doth corrupt [853], and [2532] where [3699] thieves [2812] break through [1358] and [2532] steal [2813]: 40 6 20 But [1161] lay up [2343] for yourselves [5213] treasures [2344] in [1722] heaven [3772], where [3699] neither [3777] moth [4597] nor [3777] rust [1035] doth corrupt [853], and [2532] where [3699] thieves [2812] do [1358] not [3756] break through [1358] nor [3761] steal [2813]: 40 6 21 For [1063] where [3699] your [5216] treasure [2344] is [2076], there [1563] will [2071] your [5216] heart [2588] be [2071] also [2532]. 40 6 22 The light [3088] of the body [4983] is [2076] the eye [3788]: if [1437] therefore [3767] thine [4675] eye [3788] be [5600] single [573], thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] shall be [2071] full of light [5460]. 40 6 23 But [1161] if [1437] thine [4675] eye [3788] be [5600] evil [4190], thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] shall be [2071] full of darkness [4652]. If [1487] therefore [3767] the light [5457] that is [2076] in [1722] thee [4671] be darkness [4655], how great [4214] is that darkness [4655]! 40 6 24 No man [3762] can [1410] serve [1398] two [1417] masters [2962]: for [1063] either [2228] he will hate [3404] the one [1520], and [2532] love [25] the other [2087]; or else [2228] he will hold [472] to the one [1520], and [2532] despise [2706] the other [2087]. Ye cannot [3756] [1410] serve [1398] God [2316] and [2532] mammon [3126]. 40 6 25 Therefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Take no [3361] thought [3309] for your [5216] life [5590], what [5101] ye shall eat [5315], or [2532] what [5101] ye shall drink [4095]; nor yet for [3366] your [5216] body [4983], what [5101] ye shall put on [1746]. Is [2076] not [3780] the life [5590] more than [4119] meat [5160], and [2532] the body [4983] than raiment [1742]? 40 6 26 Behold [1689] [1519] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772]: for [3754] they sow [4687] not [3756], neither [3761] do they reap [2325], nor [3761] gather [4863] into [1519] barns [596]; yet [2532] your [5216] heavenly [3770] Father [3962] feedeth [5142] them [846]. Are [1308] ye [5210] not [3756] much [3123] better than [1308] they [846]? 40 6 27 [1161] Which [1537] [5101] of you [5216] by taking thought [3309] can [1410] add [4369] one [1520] cubit [4083] unto [1909] his [846] stature [2244]? 40 6 28 And [2532] why [5101] take ye thought [3309] for [4012] raiment [1742]? Consider [2648] the lilies [2918] of the field [68], how [4459] they grow [837]; they toil [2872] not [3756], neither [3761] do they spin [3514]: 40 6 29 And yet [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] even [3761] Solomon [4672] in [1722] all [3956] his [846] glory [1391] was [4016] not [3761] arrayed [4016] like [5613] one [1520] of these [5130]. 40 6 30 Wherefore [1161], if [1487] God [2316] so [3779] clothe [294] the grass [5528] of the field [68], which to day [4594] is [5607], and [2532] to morrow [839] is cast [906] into [1519] the oven [2823], shall he not [3756] much [4183] more [3123] clothe you [5209], O ye of little faith [3640]? 40 6 31 Therefore [3767] take no [3361] thought [3309], saying [3004], What [5101] shall we eat [5315]? or [2228], What [5101] shall we drink [4095]? or [2228], Wherewithal [5101] shall we be clothed [4016]? 40 6 32 (For [1063] after [1934] all [3956] these things [5023] do the Gentiles [1484] seek [1934] for [1063] your [5216] heavenly [3770] Father [3962] knoweth [1492] that [3754] ye have need [5535] of all [537] these things [5130]. 40 6 33 But [1161] seek ye [2212] first [4412] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] his [846] righteousness [1343]; and [2532] all [3956] these things [5023] shall be added [4369] unto you [5213]. 40 6 34 Take [3309] therefore [3767] no [3361] thought [3309] for [1519] the morrow [839]: for [1063] the morrow [839] shall take thought [3309] for the things [3588] of itself [1438]. Sufficient [713] unto the day [2250] is the evil [2549] thereof [846]. 40 7 1 Judge [2919] not [3361], that [3363] ye be [2919] not [3363] judged [2919]. 40 7 2 For [1722] with [3739] what [1063] judgment [2917] ye judge [2919], ye shall be judged [2919]: and [2532] with [1722] what [3739] measure [3358] ye mete [3354], it shall be measured [488] to you [5213] again [488]. 40 7 3 And [1161] why [5101] beholdest [991] thou the mote [2595] that is in [1722] thy [4675] brother's [80] eye [3788], but [1161] considerest [2657] not [3756] the beam [1385] that is in [1722] thine own [4674] eye [3788]? 40 7 4 Or [2228] how [4459] wilt thou say [2046] to thy [4675] brother [80], Let [863] me pull out [1544] the mote [2595] out of [575] thine [4675] eye [3788]; and [2532], behold [2400], a beam [1385] is in [1722] thine own [4675] eye [3788]? 40 7 5 Thou hypocrite [5273], first [4412] cast out [1544] the beam [1385] out of [1537] thine own [4675] eye [3788]; and [2532] then [5119] shalt thou see clearly [1227] to cast out [1544] the mote [2595] out of [1537] thy [4675] brother's [80] eye [3788]. 40 7 6 Give [1325] not [3361] that which [3588] is holy [40] unto the dogs [2965], neither [3366] cast [906] ye your [5216] pearls [3135] before [1715] swine [5519], lest [3379] they trample [2662] them [846] under [1722] their [846] feet [4228], and [2532] turn again [4762] and rend [4486] you [5209]. 40 7 7 Ask [154], and [2532] it shall be given [1325] you [5213]; seek [2212], and [2532] ye shall find [2147]; knock [2925], and [2532] it shall be opened [455] unto you [5213]: 40 7 8 For [1063] every one [3956] that asketh [154] receiveth [2983]; and [2532] he that seeketh [2212] findeth [2147]; and [2532] to him that knocketh [2925] it shall be opened [455]. 40 7 9 Or [2228] what [5101] man [444] is [2076] there of [1537] you [5216], whom [3739] if [1437] his [846] son [5207] ask [154] bread [740], will he give [3361] [1929] him [846] a stone [3037]? 40 7 10 Or [2532] if [1437] he ask [154] a fish [2486], will he give [3361] [1929] him [846] a serpent [3789]? 40 7 11 If [1487] ye [5210] then [3767], being [5607] evil [4190], know [1492] how to give [1325] good [18] gifts [1390] unto your [5216] children [5043], how much [4214] more [3123] shall your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] give [1325] good things [18] to them that ask [154] him [846]? 40 7 12 Therefore [3767] all things [3956] whatsoever [302] [3745] ye would [2309] that [2443] men [444] should do [4160] to you [5213], do [4160] ye [5210] even [2532] so [3779] to them [846]: for [1063] this [3778] is [2076] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396]. 40 7 13 Enter ye in [1525] at [1223] the strait [4728] gate [4439]: for [3754] wide [4116] is the gate [4439], and [2532] broad [2149] is the way [3598], that leadeth [520] to [1519] destruction [684], and [2532] many [4183] there be [1526] which [3588] go in [1525] thereat [1223] [846]: 40 7 14 Because [3754] strait [4728] is the gate [4439], and [2532] narrow [2346] is the way [3598], which [3588] leadeth [520] unto [1519] life [2222], and [2532] few [3641] there be [1526] that find [2147] it [846]. 40 7 15 Beware [1161] [4337] of [575] false prophets [5578], which [3748] come [2064] to [4314] you [5209] in [1722] sheep's [4263] clothing [1742], but [1161] inwardly [2081] they are [1526] ravening [727] wolves [3074]. 40 7 16 Ye shall know [1921] them [846] by [575] their [846] fruits [2590] [3385]. Do men gather [4816] grapes [4718] of [575] thorns [173], or [2228] figs [4810] of [575] thistles [5146]? 40 7 17 Even so [3779] every [3956] good [18] tree [1186] bringeth forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590]; but [1161] a corrupt [4550] tree [1186] bringeth forth [4160] evil [4190] fruit [2590]. 40 7 18 A good [18] tree [1186] cannot [3756] [1410] bring forth [4160] evil [4190] fruit [2590], neither [3761] can a corrupt [4550] tree [1186] bring forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590]. 40 7 19 Every [3956] tree [1186] that bringeth [4160] not [3361] forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590] is hewn down [1581], and [2532] cast [906] into [1519] the fire [4442]. 40 7 20 Wherefore [686] by [575] their [846] fruits [2590] ye shall know [1921] them [846]. 40 7 21 Not [3756] every one [3956] that saith [3004] unto me [3427], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], shall enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]; but [235] he that doeth [4160] the will [2307] of my [3450] Father [3962] which is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 7 22 Many [4183] will say [2046] to me [3427] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], have we [4395] not [3756] prophesied [4395] in thy [4674] name [3686]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] have cast out [1544] devils [1140]? and [2532] in thy [4674] name [3686] done [4160] many [4183] wonderful works [1411]? 40 7 23 And [2532] then [5119] will I profess [3670] unto them [846], [3754] I never [3763] knew [1097] you [5209]: depart [672] from [575] me [1700], ye that work [2038] iniquity [458]. 40 7 24 Therefore [3767] whosoever [3956] [3748] heareth [191] these [5128] sayings [3056] of mine [3450], and [2532] doeth [4160] them [846], I will liken [3666] him [846] unto a wise [5429] man [435], which [3748] built [3618] his [846] house [3614] upon [1909] a rock [4073]: 40 7 25 And [2532] the rain [1028] descended [2597], and [2532] the floods [4215] came [2064], and [2532] the winds [417] blew [4154], and [2532] beat upon [4363] that [1565] house [3614]; and [2532] it fell [4098] not [3756]: for [1063] it was founded [2311] upon [1909] a rock [4073]. 40 7 26 And [2532] every one [3956] that heareth [191] these [5128] sayings [3056] of mine [3450], and [2532] doeth [4160] them [846] not [3361], shall be likened [3666] unto a foolish [3474] man [435], which [3748] built [3618] his [846] house [3614] upon [1909] the sand [285]: 40 7 27 And [2532] the rain [1028] descended [2597], and [2532] the floods [4215] came [2064], and [2532] the winds [417] blew [4154], and [2532] beat upon [4350] that [1565] house [3614]; and [2532] it fell [4098]: and [2532] great [3173] was [2258] the fall [4431] of it [846]. 40 7 28 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when [3753] Jesus [2424] had ended [4931] these [5128] sayings [3056], the people [3793] were astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322]: 40 7 29 For [1063] he taught [1321] [2258] them [846] as [5613] one having [2192] authority [1849], and [2532] not [3756] as [5613] the scribes [1122]. 40 8 1 When [1161] he [846] was come down [2597] from [575] the mountain [3735], great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846]. 40 8 2 And [2532], behold [2400], there came [2064] a leper [3015] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511]. 40 8 3 And [2532] Jesus [2424] put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], saying [3004], I will [2309]; be thou clean [2511]. And [2532] immediately [2112] his [846] leprosy [3014] was cleansed [2511]. 40 8 4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], See [3708] thou tell [2036] no man [3367]; but [235] go thy way [5217], shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] the gift [1435] that [3739] Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846]. 40 8 5 And [1161] when [1525] Jesus [2424] was entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584], there came [4334] unto him [846] a centurion [1543], beseeching [3870] him [846], 40 8 6 And [2532] saying [3004], Lord [2962], my [3450] servant [3816] lieth [906] at [1722] home [3614] sick of the palsy [3885], grievously [1171] tormented [928]. 40 8 7 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], I [1473] will come [2064] and heal [2323] him [846]. 40 8 8 The centurion [1543] answered [611] and [2532] said [5346], Lord [2962], I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] that [2443] thou shouldest come [1525] under [5259] my [3450] roof [4721]: but [235] speak [2036] the word [3056] only [3440], and [2532] my [3450] servant [3816] shall be healed [2390]. 40 8 9 For [1063] [2532] I [1473] am [1510] a man [444] under [5259] authority [1849], having [2192] soldiers [4757] under [5259] me [1683]: and [2532] I say [3004] to this [5129] man, Go [4198], and [2532] he goeth [4198]; and [2532] to another [243], Come [2064], and [2532] he cometh [2064]; and [2532] to my [3450] servant [1401], Do [4160] this [5124], and [2532] he doeth [4160] it. 40 8 10 When [1161] Jesus [2424] heard [191] it, he marvelled [2296], and [2532] said [2036] to them that followed [190], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], I have [2147] not [3761] found [2147] so great [5118] faith [4102], no, not [3761] in [1722] Israel [2474]. 40 8 11 And [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] many [4183] shall come [2240] from [575] the east [395] and [2532] west [1424], and [2532] shall sit down [347] with [3326] Abraham [11], and [2532] Isaac [2464], and [2532] Jacob [2384], in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 8 12 But [1161] the children [5207] of the kingdom [932] shall be cast out [1544] into [1519] outer [1857] darkness [4655]: there [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 8 13 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto the centurion [1543], Go thy way [5217]; and [2532] as [5613] thou hast believed [4100], so be it done [1096] unto thee [4671]. And [2532] his [846] servant [3816] was healed [2390] in [1722] the selfsame [1565] hour [5610]. 40 8 14 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] was come [2064] into [1519] Peter's [4074] house [3614], he saw [1492] his [846] wife's mother [3994] laid [906], and [2532] sick of a fever [4445]. 40 8 15 And [2532] he touched [680] her [846] hand [5495], and [2532] the fever [4446] left [863] her [846]: and [2532] she arose [1453], and [2532] ministered [1247] unto them [846]. 40 8 16 When [1161] the even [3798] was come [1096], they brought [4374] unto him [846] many [4183] that were possessed with devils [1139]: and [2532] he cast out [1544] the spirits [4151] with his word [3056], and [2532] healed [2323] all [3956] that were [2192] sick [2560]: 40 8 17 That it might [3704] be fulfilled [4137] which was spoken [4483] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], Himself [846] took [2983] our [2257] infirmities [769], and [2532] bare [941] our sicknesses [3554]. 40 8 18 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] great [4183] multitudes [3793] about [4012] him [846], he gave commandment [2753] to depart [565] unto [1519] the other side [4008]. 40 8 19 And [2532] a certain [1520] scribe [1122] came [4334], and said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1320], I will follow [190] thee [4671] whithersoever [1437] [3699] thou goest [565]. 40 8 20 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], The foxes [258] have [2192] holes [5454], and [2532] the birds [4071] of the air [3772] have nests [2682]; but [1161] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] not [3756] where [4226] to lay [2827] his head [2776]. 40 8 21 And [1161] another [2087] of his [846] disciples [3101] said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], suffer [2010] me [3427] first [4412] to go [565] and [2532] bury [2290] my [3450] father [3962]. 40 8 22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]; and [2532] let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498]. 40 8 23 And [2532] when he [846] was entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], his [846] disciples [3101] followed [190] him [846]. 40 8 24 And [2532], behold [2400], there arose [1096] a great [3173] tempest [4578] in [1722] the sea [2281], insomuch that [5620] the ship [4143] was covered [2572] with [5259] the waves [2949]: but [1161] he [846] was asleep [2518]. 40 8 25 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him, and awoke [1453] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] us [2248]: we perish [622]. 40 8 26 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] fearful [1169], O ye of little faith [3640]? Then [5119] he arose [1453], and rebuked [2008] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281]; and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055]. 40 8 27 But [1161] the men [444] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], What manner of man [4217] is [2076] this [3778], that [3754] even [2532] the winds [417] and [2532] the sea [2281] obey [5219] him [846]! 40 8 28 And [2532] when he [846] was come [2064] to [1519] the other side [4008] into [1519] the country [5561] of the Gergesenes [1086], there met [5221] him [846] two [1417] possessed with devils [1139], coming [1831] out of [1537] the tombs [3419], exceeding [3029] fierce [5467], so that [5620] no [3361] man [5100] might [2480] pass [3928] by [1223] that [1565] way [3598]. 40 8 29 And [2532], behold [2400], they cried out [2896], saying [3004], What [5101] have we [2254] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316]? art thou come [2064] hither [5602] to torment [928] us [2248] before [4253] the time [2540]? 40 8 30 And [1161] there was [2258] a good way off [3112] from [575] them [846] an herd [34] of many [4183] swine [5519] feeding [1006]. 40 8 31 So [1161] the devils [1142] besought [3870] him [846], saying [3004], If [1487] thou cast [1544] us [2248] out [1544], suffer [2010] us [2254] to go away [565] into [1519] the herd [34] of swine [5519]. 40 8 32 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go [5217]. And [1161] when they were come out [1831], they went [565] into [1519] the herd [34] of swine [5519]: and [2532], behold [2400], the whole [3956] herd [34] of swine [5519] ran violently [3729] down [2596] a steep place [2911] into [1519] the sea [2281], and [2532] perished [599] in [1722] the waters [5204]. 40 8 33 And [1161] they that kept [1006] them fled [5343], and [2532] went their ways [565] into [1519] the city [4172], and told [518] every thing [3956], and [2532] what was befallen to the possessed of the devils [1139]. 40 8 34 And [2532], behold [2400], the whole [3956] city [4172] came out [1831] to [1519] meet [4877] Jesus [2424]: and [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they besought [3870] him that [3704] he would depart [3327] out of [575] their [846] coasts [3725]. 40 9 1 And [2532] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and passed over [1276], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172]. 40 9 2 And [2532], behold [2400], they brought [4374] to him [846] a man sick of the palsy [3885], lying [906] on [1909] a bed [2825]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] seeing [1492] their [846] faith [4102] said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3885]; Son [5043], be of good cheer [2293]; thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]. 40 9 3 And [2532], behold [2400], certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] said [2036] within [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] man blasphemeth [987]. 40 9 4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761] said [2036], Wherefore [2444] think [1760] ye [5210] evil [4190] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]? 40 9 5 For [1063] whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] walk [4043]? 40 9 6 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (then [5119] saith he [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],) Arise [1453], take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2825], and [2532] go [5217] unto [1519] thine [4675] house [3624]. 40 9 7 And [2532] he arose [1453], and departed [565] to [1519] his [846] house [3624]. 40 9 8 But [1161] when the multitudes [3793] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], which [3588] had given [1325] such [5108] power [1849] unto men [444]. 40 9 9 And as [2532] Jesus [2424] passed forth [3855] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] a man [444], named [3004] Matthew [3156], sitting [2521] at [1909] the receipt of custom [5058]: and [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. And [2532] he arose [450], and followed [190] him [846]. 40 9 10 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as Jesus [2424] sat at meat [345] in [1722] the house [3614], [2532] behold [2400], many [4183] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268] came [2064] and sat down [4873] with him [846] and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]. 40 9 11 And [2532] when the Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] it, they said [2036] unto his [846] disciples [3101], Why [1302] eateth [2068] your [5216] Master [1320] with [3326] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]? 40 9 12 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] heard [191] that, he said [2036] unto them [846], They that be [2192] whole [2480] need [5532] not [3756] a physician [2395], but [235] they that are [2192] sick [2560]. 40 9 13 But [1161] go ye [4198] and learn [3129] what [5101] that meaneth [2076], I will [2309] have mercy [1656], and [2532] not [3756] sacrifice [2378]: for [1063] I am [2064] not [3756] come [2064] to call [2564] the righteous [1342], but [235] sinners [268] to [1519] repentance [3341]. 40 9 14 Then [5119] came [4334] to him [846] the disciples [3101] of John [2491], saying [3004], Why [1302] do we [2249] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] fast [3522] oft [4183], but [1161] thy [4675] disciples [3101] fast [3522] not [3756]? 40 9 15 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Can [3361] [1410] the children [5207] of the bridechamber [3567] mourn [3996], as long as [1909] [3745] the bridegroom [3566] is [2076] with [3326] them [846]? but [1161] the days [2250] will come [2064], when [3752] the bridegroom [3566] shall be taken [522] from [575] them [846], and [2532] then [5119] shall they fast [3522]. 40 9 16 [1161] No man [3762] putteth [1911] a piece [1915] of new [46] cloth [4470] unto [1909] an old [3820] garment [2440], for [1063] that which is put in to fill it up [4138] taketh [142] [846] from [575] the garment [2440], and [2532] the rent [4978] is made [1096] worse [5501]. 40 9 17 Neither [3761] do men put [906] new [3501] wine [3631] into [1519] old [3820] bottles [779]: else [1490] the bottles [779] break [4486], and [2532] the wine [3631] runneth out [1632], and [2532] the bottles [779] perish [622]: but [235] they put [906] new [3501] wine [3631] into [1519] new [2537] bottles [779], and [2532] both [297] are preserved [4933]. 40 9 18 While he [846] spake [2980] these things [5023] unto them [846], behold [2400], there came [2064] a certain [1520] ruler [758], and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], [3754] My [3450] daughter [2364] is even now [737] dead [5053]: but [235] come [2064] and lay [2007] thy [4675] hand [5495] upon [1909] her [846], and [2532] she shall live [2198]. 40 9 19 And [2532] Jesus [2424] arose [1453], and followed [190] him [846], and [2532] so did his [846] disciples [3101]. 40 9 20 And [2532], behold [2400], a woman [1135], which was diseased with an issue of blood [131] twelve [1427] years [2094], came [4334] behind [3693] him, and touched [680] the hem [2899] of his [846] garment [2440]: 40 9 21 For [1063] she said [3004] within [1722] herself [1438], If [1437] I may [680] but [3440] touch [680] his [846] garment [2440], I shall be whole [4982]. 40 9 22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] turned him about [1994], and [2532] when he saw [1492] her [846], he said [2036], Daughter [2364], be of good comfort [2293]; thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]. And [2532] the woman [1135] was made whole [4982] from [575] that [1565] hour [5610]. 40 9 23 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] came [2064] into [1519] the ruler's [758] house [3614], and [2532] saw [1492] the minstrels [834] and [2532] the people [3793] making a noise [2350], 40 9 24 He said [3004] unto them [846], Give place [402]: for [1063] the maid [2877] is [599] not [3756] dead [599], but [235] sleepeth [2518]. And [2532] they laughed [2606] him [846] to scorn [2606]. 40 9 25 But [1161] when [3753] the people [3793] were put forth [1544], he went in [1525], and took [2902] her [846] by the hand [5495], and [2532] the maid [2877] arose [1453]. 40 9 26 And [2532] the fame [5345] hereof [3778] went abroad [1831] into [1519] all [3650] that [1565] land [1093]. 40 9 27 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] departed [3855] thence [1564], two [1417] blind men [5185] followed [190] him [846], crying [2896], and [2532] saying [3004], Thou Son [5207] of David [1138], have mercy [1653] on us [2248]. 40 9 28 And [1161] when he was come [2064] into [1519] the house [3614], the blind men [5185] came [4334] to him [846]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Believe ye [4100] that [3754] I am able [1410] to do [4160] this [5124]? They said [3004] unto him [846], Yea [3483], Lord [2962]. 40 9 29 Then [5119] touched he [680] their [846] eyes [3788], saying [3004], According [2596] to your [5216] faith [4102] be it [1096] unto you [5213]. 40 9 30 And [2532] their [846] eyes [3788] were opened [455]; and [2532] Jesus [2424] straitly charged [1690] them [846], saying [3004], See [3708] that no man [3367] know [1097] it. 40 9 31 But [1161] they, when they were departed [1831], spread abroad [1310] his [846] fame [1310] in [1722] all [3650] that [1565] country [1093]. 40 9 32 As [1161] they [846] went out [1831], behold [2400], they brought [4374] to him [846] a dumb [2974] man [444] possessed with a devil [1139]. 40 9 33 And [2532] when the devil [1140] was cast out [1544], the dumb [2974] spake [2980]: and [2532] the multitudes [3793] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], [3754] It was never [3763] so [3779] seen [5316] in [1722] Israel [2474]. 40 9 34 But [1161] the Pharisees [5330] said [3004], He casteth out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] the prince [758] of the devils [1140]. 40 9 35 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went about [4013] all [3956] the cities [4172] and [2532] villages [2968], teaching [1321] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864], and [2532] preaching [2784] the gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932], and [2532] healing [2323] every [3956] sickness [3554] and [2532] every [3956] disease [3119] among [1722] the people [2992]. 40 9 36 But [1161] when he saw [1492] the multitudes [3793], he was moved with compassion [4697] on [4012] them [846], because [3754] they fainted [2258] [1590], and [2532] were scattered abroad [4496], as [5616] sheep [4263] having [2192] no [3361] shepherd [4166]. 40 9 37 Then [5119] saith [3004] he unto his [846] disciples [3101], The harvest [2326] truly [3303] is plenteous [4183], but [1161] the labourers [2040] are few [3641]; 40 9 38 Pray ye [1189] therefore [3767] the Lord [2962] of the harvest [2326], that [3704] he will send forth [1544] labourers [2040] into [1519] his [846] harvest [2326]. 40 10 1 And [2532] when he had called [4341] unto him his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he gave [1325] them [846] power [1849] against unclean [169] spirits [4151], to [5620] cast [1544] them [846] out [1544], and [2532] to heal [2323] all manner [3956] of sickness [3554] and [2532] all manner [3956] of disease [3119]. 40 10 2 Now [1161] the names [3686] of the twelve [1427] apostles [652] are [2076] these [5023]; The first [4413], Simon [4613], who [3588] is called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80]; James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80]; 40 10 3 Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918]; Thomas [2381], and [2532] Matthew [3156] the publican [5057]; James [2385] the son of [3588] Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Lebbaeus [3002], whose surname was [1941] Thaddaeus [2280]; 40 10 4 Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], who [3588] also [2532] betrayed [3860] him [846]. 40 10 5 These [5128] twelve [1427] Jesus [2424] sent forth [649], and commanded [3853] them [846], saying [3004], Go [565] not [3361] into [1519] the way [3598] of the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] into [1519] any city [4172] of the Samaritans [4541] enter ye [1525] not [3361]: 40 10 6 But [1161] go [4198] rather [3123] to [4314] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474]. 40 10 7 And [1161] as ye go [4198], preach [2784], saying [3004], [3754] The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is at hand [1448]. 40 10 8 Heal [2323] the sick [770], cleanse [2511] the lepers [3015], raise [1453] the dead [3498], cast out [1544] devils [1140]: freely [1432] ye have received [2983], freely [1432] give [1325]. 40 10 9 Provide [2932] neither [3361] gold [5557], nor [3366] silver [696], nor [3366] brass [5475] in [1519] your [5216] purses [2223], 40 10 10 Nor [3361] scrip [4082] for [1519] your journey [3598], neither [3366] two [1417] coats [5509], neither [3366] shoes [5266], nor [3366] yet staves [4464]: for [1063] the workman [2040] is [2076] worthy [514] of his [846] meat [5160]. 40 10 11 And [1161] into [1519] whatsoever [302] [3739] city [4172] or [2228] town [2968] ye shall enter [1525], enquire [1833] who [5101] in [1722] it [846] is [2076] worthy [514]; and there [2546] abide [3306] till [302] [2193] ye go thence [1831]. 40 10 12 And [1161] when ye come [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], salute [782] it [846]. 40 10 13 And [2532] if [1437] [3303] the house [3614] be [5600] worthy [514], let your [5216] peace [1515] come [2064] upon [1909] it [846]: but [1161] if [3362] it be [5600] not [3362] worthy [514], let your [5216] peace [1515] return [1994] to [4314] you [5209]. 40 10 14 And [2532] whosoever [3739] shall [1209] not [3362] receive [1209] you [5209], nor [3366] hear [191] your [5216] words [3056], when ye depart out [1831] of that [1565] house [3614] or [2228] city [4172], shake off [1621] the dust [2868] of your [5216] feet [4228]. 40 10 15 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for the land [1093] of Sodom [4670] and [2532] Gomorrha [1116] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172]. 40 10 16 Behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] you [5209] forth [649] as [5613] sheep [4263] in [1722] the midst [3319] of wolves [3074]: be ye [1096] therefore [3767] wise [5429] as [5613] serpents [3789], and [2532] harmless [185] as [5613] doves [4058]. 40 10 17 But [1161] beware [4337] of [575] men [444]: for [1063] they will deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860] to [1519] the councils [4892], and [2532] they will scourge [3146] you [5209] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864]; 40 10 18 And [2532] ye shall be brought [71] before [1909] governors [2232] and [2532] [1161] kings [935] for my [1752] sake [1700], for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846] and [2532] the Gentiles [1484]. 40 10 19 But [1161] when [3752] they deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860], take [3309] no [3361] thought [3309] how [4459] or [2228] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980]: for [1063] it shall be given [1325] you [5213] in [1722] that same [1565] hour [5610] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980]. 40 10 20 For [1063] it is [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] that speak [2980], but [235] the Spirit [4151] of your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] speaketh [2980] in [1722] you [5213]. 40 10 21 And [1161] the brother [80] shall deliver up [3860] the brother [80] to [1519] death [2288], and [2532] the father [3962] the child [5043]: and [2532] the children [5043] shall rise up [1881] against [1909] their parents [1118], and [2532] cause [2289] them [846] to be put to death [2289]. 40 10 22 And [2532] ye shall [2071] be hated [3404] of [5259] all [3956] men for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [3686]: but [1161] he that [3778] endureth [5278] to [1519] the end [5056] shall be saved [4982]. 40 10 23 But [1161] when [3752] they persecute [1377] you [5209] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172], flee ye [5343] into [1519] another [243]: for [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ye shall [5055] not [3364] have gone over [5055] the cities [4172] of Israel [2474], till [2193] the Son [5207] of man [444] be [302] come [2064]. 40 10 24 The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his master [1320], nor [3761] the servant [1401] above [5228] his [846] lord [2962]. 40 10 25 It is enough [713] for the disciple [3101] that [2443] he be [1096] as [5613] his [846] master [1320], and [2532] the servant [1401] as [5613] his [846] lord [2962]. If [1487] they have called [2564] the master of the house [3617] Beelzebub [954], how much [4214] more [3123] shall they call them of his [846] household [3615]? 40 10 26 Fear [5399] them [846] not [3361] therefore [3767]: for [1063] there is [2076] nothing [3762] covered [2572], that [3739] shall [601] not [3756] be revealed [601]; and [2532] hid [2927], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097]. 40 10 27 What [3739] I tell [3004] you [5213] in [1722] darkness [4653], that speak ye [2036] in [1722] light [5457]: and [2532] what [3739] ye hear [191] in [1519] the ear [3775], that preach ye [2784] upon [1909] the housetops [1430]. 40 10 28 And [2532] fear [5399] [575] not [3361] them which [3588] kill [615] the body [4983], but [1161] are [1410] not [3361] able [1410] to kill [615] the soul [5590]: but [1161] rather [3123] fear [5399] him which [3588] is able [1410] to destroy [622] both [2532] soul [5590] and [2532] body [4983] in [1722] hell [1067]. 40 10 29 Are [4453] not [3780] two [1417] sparrows [4765] sold [4453] for a farthing [787]? and [2532] one [1520] of [1537] them [846] shall [4098] not [3756] fall [4098] on [1909] the ground [1093] without [427] your [5216] Father [3962]. 40 10 30 But [1161] the very [2532] hairs [2359] of your [5216] head [2776] are [1526] all [3956] numbered [705]. 40 10 31 Fear ye [5399] not [3361] therefore [3767], ye [5210] are of more value [1308] than many [4183] sparrows [4765]. 40 10 32 Whosoever [3956] [3748] therefore [3767] shall confess [3670] [1722] me [1698] before [1715] men [444], [1722] him [846] will I confess [3670] also [2504] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 10 33 But [1161] whosoever [3748] shall [302] deny [720] me [3165] before [1715] men [444], him [846] will I also [2504] deny [720] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 10 34 Think [3543] not [3361] that [3754] I am come [2064] to send [906] peace [1515] on [1909] earth [1093]: I came [2064] not [3756] to send [906] peace [1515], but [235] a sword [3162]. 40 10 35 For [1063] I am come [2064] to set [1369] a man [444] at variance [1369] against [2596] his [846] father [3962], and [2532] the daughter [2364] against [2596] her [846] mother [3384], and [2532] the daughter in law [3565] against [2596] her [846] mother in law [3994]. 40 10 36 And [2532] a man's [444] foes [2190] shall be they of his own [846] household [3615]. 40 10 37 He that loveth [5368] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]: and [2532] he that loveth [5368] son [5207] or [2228] daughter [2364] more than [5228] me [1691] is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]. 40 10 38 And [2532] he [3739] that taketh [2983] not [3756] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] followeth [190] after [3694] me [3450], is [2076] not [3756] worthy [514] of me [3450]. 40 10 39 He that findeth [2147] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [2532] he that loseth [622] his [846] life [5590] for my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846]. 40 10 40 He that receiveth [1209] you [5209] receiveth [1209] me [1691], and [2532] he that receiveth [1209] me [1691] receiveth [1209] him that sent [649] me [3165]. 40 10 41 He that receiveth [1209] a prophet [4396] in [1519] the name [3686] of a prophet [4396] shall receive [2983] a prophet's [4396] reward [3408]; and [2532] he that receiveth [2983] a righteous man [1342] in [1519] the name [3686] of a righteous man [1342] shall receive [1209] a righteous man's [1342] reward [3408]. 40 10 42 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall give to drink [4222] unto one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] a cup [4221] of cold [5593] water only [3440] in [1519] the name [3686] of a disciple [3101], verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], he shall in no wise [3364] lose [622] his [846] reward [3408]. 40 11 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when [3753] Jesus [2424] had made an end [5055] of commanding [1299] his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101], he departed [3327] thence [1564] to teach [1321] and [2532] to preach [2784] in [1722] their [846] cities [4172]. 40 11 2 Now [1161] when John [2491] had heard [191] in [1722] the prison [1201] the works [2041] of Christ [5547], he sent [3992] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101], 40 11 3 And said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] he that should come [2064], or [2228] do we look [4328] for another [2087]? 40 11 4 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Go [4198] and shew [518] John [2491] again [518] those things which [3739] ye do hear [191] and [2532] see [991]: 40 11 5 The blind [5185] receive their sight [308], and [2532] the lame [5560] walk [4043], the lepers [3015] are cleansed [2511], and [2532] the deaf [2974] hear [191], the dead [3498] are raised up [1453], and [2532] the poor [4434] have the gospel preached to them [2097]. 40 11 6 And [2532] blessed [3107] is [2076] he, whosoever [3739] shall [4624] not [3362] be offended [4624] in [1722] me [1698]. 40 11 7 And [1161] as [5130] they departed [4198], Jesus [2424] began [756] to say [3004] unto the multitudes [3793] concerning [4012] John [2491], What [5101] went ye [1831] out into [1519] the wilderness [2048] to see [2300]? A reed [2563] shaken [4531] with [5259] the wind [417]? 40 11 8 But [235] what [5101] went ye out [1831] for to see [1492]? A man [444] clothed [294] in [1722] soft [3120] raiment [2440]? behold [2400], they that wear [5409] soft [3120] clothing are [1526] in [1722] kings [935]' houses [3624]. 40 11 9 But [235] what [5101] went ye out [1831] for to see [1492]? A prophet [4396]? yea [3483], I say [3004] unto you [5213], and [2532] more [4055] than a prophet [4396]. 40 11 10 For [1063] this [3778] is [2076] he, of [4012] whom [3739] it is written [1125], Behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] my [3450] messenger [32] before [4253] thy [4675] face [4383], which [3739] shall prepare [2680] thy [4675] way [3598] before [1715] thee [4675]. 40 11 11 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Among [1722] them that are born [1084] of women [1135] there hath [1453] not [3756] risen [1453] a greater than [3187] John [2491] the Baptist [910]: notwithstanding [1161] he that is least [3398] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] greater than [3187] he [846]. 40 11 12 And [1161] from [575] the days [2250] of John [2491] the Baptist [910] until [2193] now [737] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] suffereth violence [971], and [2532] the violent [973] take [726] it [846] by force [726]. 40 11 13 For [1063] all [3956] the prophets [4396] and [2532] the law [3551] prophesied [4395] until [2193] John [2491]. 40 11 14 And [2532] if [1487] ye will [2309] receive [1209] it, this [846] is [2076] Elias [2243], which [3588] was for [3195] to come [2064]. 40 11 15 He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 40 11 16 But [1161] whereunto [5101] shall I liken [3666] this [5026] generation [1074]? It is [2076] like [3664] unto children [3808] sitting [2521] in [1722] the markets [58], and [2532] calling [4377] unto their [846] fellows [2083], 40 11 17 And [2532] saying [3004], We have piped [832] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye have [3738] not [3756] danced [3738]; we have mourned [2354] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye have [2875] not [3756] lamented [2875]. 40 11 18 For [1063] John [2491] came [2064] neither [3383] eating [2068] nor [3383] drinking [4095], and [2532] they say [3004], He hath [2192] a devil [1140]. 40 11 19 The Son [5207] of man [444] came [2064] eating [2068] and [2532] drinking [4095], and [2532] they say [3004], Behold [2400] a man [444] gluttonous [5314], and [2532] a winebibber [3630], a friend [5384] of publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]. But [2532] wisdom [4678] is justified [1344] of [575] her [846] children [5043]. 40 11 20 Then [5119] began he [756] to upbraid [3679] the cities [4172] wherein [1722] [3739] most [4118] of his [846] mighty works [1411] were done [1096], because [3754] they repented [3340] not [3756]: 40 11 21 Woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Chorazin [5523]! woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Bethsaida [966]! for [3754] if [1487] the mighty works [1411], which [3588] were done [1096] in [1722] you [5213], had been done [1096] in [1722] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], they would have repented [3340] long ago [302] [3819] in [1722] sackcloth [4526] and [2532] ashes [4700]. 40 11 22 But [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605] at [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for you [5213]. 40 11 23 And [2532] thou [4771], Capernaum [2584], which [3588] art exalted [5312] unto [2193] heaven [3772], shalt be brought down [2601] to [2193] hell [86]: for [3754] if [1487] the mighty works [1411], which [3588] have been done [1096] in [1722] thee [4671], had been done [1096] in [1722] Sodom [4670], it would have remained [302] [3306] until [3360] this day [4594]. 40 11 24 But [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] it shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for the land [1093] of Sodom [4670] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for thee [4671]. 40 11 25 At [1722] that [1565] time [2540] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], I thank [1843] thee [4671], O Father [3962], Lord [2962] of heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093], because [3754] thou hast hid [613] these things [5023] from [575] the wise [4680] and [2532] prudent [4908], and [2532] hast revealed [601] them [846] unto babes [3516]. 40 11 26 Even so [3483], Father [3962]: for [3754] so [3779] it seemed [1096] good [2107] in thy [4675] sight [1715]. 40 11 27 All things [3956] are delivered [3860] unto me [3427] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962]: and [2532] no man [3762] knoweth [1921] the Son [5207], but [1508] the Father [3962]; neither [3761] knoweth [1921] any man [5100] the Father [3962], save [1508] the Son [5207], and he [2532] to [3739] whomsoever [1437] the Son [5207] will [1014] reveal [601] him. 40 11 28 Come [1205] unto [4314] me [3165], all [3956] ye that labour [2872] and [2532] are heavy laden [5412], and I [2504] will give [373] you [5209] rest [373]. 40 11 29 Take [142] my [3450] yoke [2218] upon [1909] you [5209], and [2532] learn [3129] of [575] me [1700]; for [3754] I am [1510] meek [4235] and [2532] lowly [5011] in heart [2588]: and [2532] ye shall find [2147] rest [372] unto your [5216] souls [5590]. 40 11 30 For [1063] my [3450] yoke [2218] is easy [5543], and [2532] my [3450] burden [5413] is [2076] light [1645]. 40 12 1 At [1722] that [1565] time [2540] Jesus [2424] went [4198] on the sabbath day [4521] through [1223] the corn [4702]; and [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] were an hungred [3983], and [2532] began [756] to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] to eat [2068]. 40 12 2 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] it, they said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] disciples [3101] do [4160] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to do [4160] upon [1722] the sabbath day [4521]. 40 12 3 But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] what [5101] David [1138] did [4160], when [3753] he [846] was an hungred [3983], and [2532] they [3326] that were with him [846]; 40 12 4 How [4459] he entered into [1525] [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316], and [2532] did eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], which [3739] was [2258] not [3756] lawful [1832] for him [846] to eat [5315], neither for [3761] them which [3326] were with him [846], but [1508] only [3441] for the priests [2409]? 40 12 5 Or [2228] have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] in [1722] the law [3551], how that [3754] on the sabbath days [4521] the priests [2409] in [1722] the temple [2411] profane [953] the sabbath [4521], and [2532] are [1526] blameless [338]? 40 12 6 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] in this place [5602] is one [2076] greater than [3187] the temple [2411]. 40 12 7 But [1161] if [1487] ye had known [1097] what [5101] this meaneth [2076], I will have [2309] mercy [1656], and [2532] not [3756] sacrifice [2378], ye would [302] not [3756] have condemned [2613] the guiltless [338]. 40 12 8 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] even [2532] of the sabbath day [4521]. 40 12 9 And [2532] when he was departed [3327] thence [1564], he went [2064] into [1519] their [846] synagogue [4864]: 40 12 10 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [2258] a man [444] which had [2192] his hand [5495] withered [3584]. And [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Is it lawful [1487] [1832] to heal [2323] on the sabbath days [4521]? that [2443] they might accuse [2723] him [846]. 40 12 11 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], What [5101] man [444] shall there be [2071] among [1537] you [5216], that [3739] shall have [2192] one [1520] sheep [4263], and [2532] if [1437] it [5124] fall [1706] into [1519] a pit [999] on the sabbath day [4521], will he [2902] not [3780] lay hold [2902] on it [846], and [2532] lift it out [1453]? 40 12 12 How much [4214] then [3767] is a man [444] better than [1308] a sheep [4263]? Wherefore [5620] it is lawful [1832] to do [4160] well [2573] on the sabbath days [4521]. 40 12 13 Then [5119] saith [3004] he to the man [444], Stretch forth [1614] thine [4675] hand [5495]. And [2532] he stretched it forth [1614]; and [2532] it was restored [600] whole [5199], like as [5613] the other [243]. 40 12 14 Then [1161] the Pharisees [5330] went out [1831], and held [2983] a council [4824] against [2596] him [846], how [3704] they might destroy [622] him [846]. 40 12 15 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] knew [1097] it, he withdrew himself [402] from thence [1564]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846] all [3956]; 40 12 16 And [2532] charged [2008] them [846] that [3363] they should [4160] not [3363] make [4160] him [846] known [5318]: 40 12 17 That [3704] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], 40 12 18 Behold [2400] my [3450] servant [3816], whom [3739] I have chosen [140]; my [3450] beloved [27], in [1519] whom [3739] my [3450] soul [5590] is well pleased [2106]: I will put [5087] my [3450] spirit [4151] upon [1909] him [846], and [2532] he shall shew [518] judgment [2920] to the Gentiles [1484]. 40 12 19 He shall [2051] not [3756] strive [2051], nor [3761] cry [2905]; neither [3761] shall any man [5100] hear [191] his [846] voice [5456] in [1722] the streets [4113]. 40 12 20 A bruised [4937] reed [2563] shall he [2608] not [3756] break [2608], and [2532] smoking [5188] flax [3043] shall he [4570] not [3756] quench [4570], till [2193] [302] he send forth [1544] judgment [2920] unto [1519] victory [3534]. 40 12 21 And [2532] in [1722] his [846] name [3686] shall [1679] the Gentiles [1484] trust [1679]. 40 12 22 Then [5119] was brought [4374] unto him [846] one possessed with a devil [1139], blind [5185], and [2532] dumb [2974]: and [2532] he healed [2323] him [846], insomuch that [5620] the blind [5185] and [2532] dumb [2974] both [2532] spake [2980] and [2532] saw [991]. 40 12 23 And [2532] all [3956] the people [3793] were amazed [1839], and [2532] said [3004], Is [2076] not [3385] this [3778] the son [5207] of David [1138]? 40 12 24 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] heard [191] it, they said [2036], This [3778] fellow doth [1544] not [3756] cast out [1544] devils [1140], but [1508] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] the prince [758] of the devils [1140]. 40 12 25 And [1161] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] their [846] thoughts [1761], and said [2036] unto them [846], Every [3956] kingdom [932] divided [3307] against [2596] itself [1438] is brought to desolation [2049]; and [2532] every [3956] city [4172] or [2228] house [3614] divided [3307] against [2596] itself [1438] shall [2476] not [3756] stand [2476]: 40 12 26 And [2532] if [1487] Satan [4567] cast out [1544] Satan [4567], he is divided [3307] against [1909] himself [1438]; how [4459] shall [2476] then [3767] his [846] kingdom [932] stand [2476]? 40 12 27 And [2532] if [1487] I [1473] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] cast out [1544] devils [1140], by [1722] whom [5101] do your [5216] children [5207] cast them out [1544]? therefore [5124] [1223] they [846] shall be [2071] your [5216] judges [2923]. 40 12 28 But [1161] if [1487] I [1473] cast out [1544] devils [1140] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316], then [686] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come [5348] unto [1909] you [5209]. 40 12 29 Or [2228] else how [4459] can [1410] one [5100] enter [1525] into [1519] a strong man's [2478] house [3614], and [2532] spoil [1283] his [846] goods [4632], except [3362] he first [4412] bind [1210] the strong man [2478]? and [2532] then [5119] he will spoil [1283] his [846] house [3614]. 40 12 30 He that is [5607] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] is [2076] against [2596] me [1700]; and [2532] he that gathereth [4863] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] scattereth abroad [4650]. 40 12 31 Wherefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], All manner of [3956] sin [266] and [2532] blasphemy [988] shall be forgiven [863] unto men [444]: but [1161] the blasphemy [988] against the Holy Ghost [4151] shall [863] not [3756] be forgiven [863] unto men [444]. 40 12 32 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] speaketh [2036] a word [3056] against [2596] the Son [5207] of man [444], it shall be forgiven [863] him [846]: but [3739] whosoever [1161] [302] speaketh [2036] against [2596] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], it shall [863] not [3756] be forgiven [863] him [846], neither [3777] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], neither [3777] in [1722] the world to come [3195]. 40 12 33 Either [2228] make [4160] the tree [1186] good [2570], and [2532] his [846] fruit [2590] good [2570]; or else [2228] make [4160] the tree [1186] corrupt [4550], and [2532] his [846] fruit [2590] corrupt [4550]: for [1063] the tree [1186] is known [1097] by [1537] his fruit [2590]. 40 12 34 O generation [1081] of vipers [2191], how [4459] can ye [1410], being [5607] evil [4190], speak [2980] good things [18]? for [1063] out of [1537] the abundance [4051] of the heart [2588] the mouth [4750] speaketh [2980]. 40 12 35 A good [18] man [444] out of [1537] the good [18] treasure [2344] of the heart [2588] bringeth forth [1544] good things [18]: and [2532] an evil [4190] man [444] out of [1537] the evil [4190] treasure [2344] bringeth forth [1544] evil things [4190]. 40 12 36 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] every [3956] idle [692] word [4487] that [3739] [1437] men [444] shall speak [2980], they shall give [591] account [3056] thereof [4012] [846] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920]. 40 12 37 For [1063] by [1537] thy [4675] words [3056] thou shalt be justified [1344], and [2532] by [1537] thy [4675] words [3056] thou shalt be condemned [2613]. 40 12 38 Then [5119] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] and [2532] of the Pharisees [5330] answered [611], saying [3004], Master [1320], we would [2309] see [1492] a sign [4592] from [575] thee [4675]. 40 12 39 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], An evil [4190] and [2532] adulterous [3428] generation [1074] seeketh after [1934] a sign [4592]; and [2532] there shall no [3756] sign [4592] be given [1325] to it [846], but [1508] the sign [4592] of the prophet [4396] Jonas [2495]: 40 12 40 For [1063] as [5618] Jonas [2495] was [2258] three [5140] days [2250] and [2532] three [5140] nights [3571] in [1722] the whale's [2785] belly [2836]; so [3779] shall the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071] three [5140] days [2250] and [2532] three [5140] nights [3571] in [1722] the heart [2588] of the earth [1093]. 40 12 41 The men [435] of Nineveh [3536] shall rise [450] in [1722] judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: because [3754] they repented [3340] at [1519] the preaching [2782] of Jonas [2495]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Jonas [2495] is here [5602]. 40 12 42 The queen [938] of the south [3558] shall rise up [1453] in [1722] the judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: for [3754] she came [2064] from [1537] the uttermost parts [4009] of the earth [1093] to hear [191] the wisdom [4678] of Solomon [4672]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Solomon [4672] is here [5602]. 40 12 43 [1161] When [3752] the unclean [169] spirit [4151] is gone [1831] out of [575] a man [444], he walketh [1330] through [1223] dry [504] places [5117], seeking [2212] rest [372], and [2532] findeth [2147] none [3756]. 40 12 44 Then [5119] he saith [3004], I will return [1994] into [1519] my [3450] house [3624] from whence [3606] I came out [1831]; and [2532] when he is come [2064], he findeth [2147] it empty [4980], swept [4563], and [2532] garnished [2885]. 40 12 45 Then [5119] goeth he [4198], and [2532] taketh [3880] with [3326] himself [1438] seven [2033] other [2087] spirits [4151] more wicked [4191] than himself [1438], and [2532] they enter in [1525] and dwell [2730] there [1563]: and [2532] the last [2078] state of that [1565] man [444] is [1096] worse than [5501] the first [4413]. Even so [3779] shall it be [2071] also [2532] unto this [5026] wicked [4190] generation [1074]. 40 12 46 While [2089] he [846] yet [1161] talked [2980] to the people [3793], behold [2400], his mother [3384] and [2532] his [846] brethren [80] stood [2476] without [1854], desiring [2212] to speak [2980] with him [846]. 40 12 47 Then [1161] one [5100] said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] mother [3384] and [2532] thy [4675] brethren [80] stand [2476] without [1854], desiring [2212] to speak [2980] with thee [4671]. 40 12 48 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto him that told [2036] him [846], Who [5101] is [2076] my [3450] mother [3384]? and [2532] who [5101] are [1526] my [3450] brethren [80]? 40 12 49 And [2532] he stretched forth [1614] his [846] hand [5495] toward [1909] his [846] disciples [3101], and said [2036], Behold [2400] my [3450] mother [3384] and [2532] my [3450] brethren [80]! 40 12 50 For [1063] whosoever [3748] [302] shall do [4160] the will [2307] of my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772], the same [846] is [2076] my [3450] brother [80], and [2532] sister [79], and [2532] mother [3384]. 40 13 1 [1161] The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] went [1831] Jesus [2424] out of [575] the house [3614], and sat [2521] by [3844] the sea side [2281]. 40 13 2 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] were gathered together [4863] unto [4314] him [846], so that [5620] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] stood [2476] on [1909] the shore [123]. 40 13 3 And [2532] he spake [2980] many things [4183] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850], saying [3004], Behold [2400], a sower [4687] went forth [1831] to sow [4687]; 40 13 4 And [2532] when [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] seeds fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598], and [2532] the fowls [4071] came [2064] and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846] up [2719]: 40 13 5 Some [1161] [243] fell [4098] upon [1909] stony places [4075], where [3699] they had [2192] not [3756] much [4183] earth [1093]: and [2532] forthwith [2112] they sprung up [1816], because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] deepness [899] of earth [1093]: 40 13 6 And [1161] when the sun [2246] was up [393], they were scorched [2739]; and [2532] because [1223] they had [2192] no [3361] root [4491], they withered away [3583]. 40 13 7 And [1161] some [243] fell [4098] among [1909] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprung up [305], and [2532] choked [638] them [846]: 40 13 8 But [1161] other [243] fell [4098] into [1909] good [2570] ground [1093], and [2532] brought forth [1325] fruit [2590], some [3739] [3303] an hundredfold [1540], [1161] some [3739] sixtyfold [1835], [1161] some [3739] thirtyfold [5144]. 40 13 9 Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 40 13 10 And [2532] the disciples [3101] came [4334], and said [2036] unto him [846], Why [1302] speakest thou [2980] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850]? 40 13 11 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Because [3754] it is given [1325] unto you [5213] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772], but [1161] to them [1565] it is [1325] not [3756] given [1325]. 40 13 12 For [1063] whosoever [3748] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325], and [2532] he shall have more abundance [4052]: but [1161] whosoever [3748] hath [2192] not [3756], from [575] him [846] shall be taken away [142] even [2532] that [3739] he hath [2192]. 40 13 13 Therefore [1223] [5124] speak I [2980] to them [846] in [1722] parables [3850]: because [3754] they seeing [991] see [991] not [3756]; and [2532] hearing [191] they hear [191] not [3756], neither [3761] do they understand [4920]. 40 13 14 And [2532] in [1909] them [846] is fulfilled [378] the prophecy [4394] of Esaias [2268], which [3588] saith [3004], By hearing [189] ye shall hear [191], and [2532] shall [4920] not [3364] understand [4920]; and [2532] seeing [991] ye shall see [991], and [2532] shall [1492] not [3364] perceive [1492]: 40 13 15 For [1063] this [5127] people's [2992] heart [2588] is waxed gross [3975], and [2532] their ears [3775] are dull [917] of hearing [191], and [2532] their [846] eyes [3788] they have closed [2576]; lest at any time [3379] they should see [1492] with their eyes [3788], and [2532] hear [191] with their ears [3775], and [2532] should understand [4920] with their heart [2588], and [2532] should be converted [1994], and [2532] I should heal [2390] them [846]. 40 13 16 But [1161] blessed [3107] are your [5216] eyes [3788], for [3754] they see [991]: and [2532] your [5216] ears [3775], for [3754] they hear [191]. 40 13 17 For [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] many [4183] prophets [4396] and [2532] righteous [1342] men have desired [1937] to see [1492] those things which [3739] ye see [991], and [2532] have [1492] not [3756] seen [1492] them; and [2532] to hear [191] those things which [3739] ye hear [191], and [2532] have [191] not [3756] heard [191] them. 40 13 18 Hear [191] ye [5210] therefore [3767] the parable [3850] of the sower [4687]. 40 13 19 When any [3956] one heareth [191] the word [3056] of the kingdom [932], and [2532] understandeth [4920] it not [3361], then cometh [2064] the wicked [4190] one, and [2532] catcheth away [726] that which [3588] was sown [4687] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588]. This [3778] is [2076] he which received seed [4687] by [3844] the way side [3598]. 40 13 20 But [1161] he that received the seed [4687] into [1909] stony places [4075], the same [3778] is [2076] he that heareth [191] the word [3056], and [2532] anon [2117] with [3326] joy [5479] receiveth [2983] it [846]; 40 13 21 Yet [1161] hath he [2192] not [3756] root [4491] in [1722] himself [1438], but [235] dureth [2076] for a while [4340]: for [1161] when tribulation [2347] or [2228] persecution [1375] ariseth [1096] because [1223] of the word [3056], by and by [2117] he is offended [4624]. 40 13 22 He also [1161] that received seed [4687] among [1519] the thorns [173] is [2076] he that [3778] heareth [191] the word [3056]; and [2532] the care [3308] of this [5127] world [165], and [2532] the deceitfulness [539] of riches [4149], choke [4846] the word [3056], and [2532] he becometh [1096] unfruitful [175]. 40 13 23 But [1161] he that received seed [4687] into [1909] the good [2570] ground [1093] is [2076] he [3778] that heareth [191] the word [3056], and [2532] understandeth [4920] it; which [3739] also [1211] beareth fruit [2592], and [2532] bringeth forth [4160], some [3739] [3303] an hundredfold [1540], [1161] some [3739] sixty [1835], [1161] some [3739] thirty [5144]. 40 13 24 Another [243] parable [3850] put he forth [3908] unto them [846], saying [3004], The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is likened [3666] unto a man [444] which sowed [4687] [4687] good [2570] seed [4690] in [1722] his [846] field [68]: 40 13 25 But [1161] while [1722] men [444] slept [2518], his [846] enemy [2190] came [2064] and [2532] sowed [4687] tares [2215] among [303] [3319] the wheat [4621], and [2532] went his way [565]. 40 13 26 But [1161] when [3753] the blade [5528] was sprung up [985], and [2532] brought forth [4160] fruit [2590], then [5119] appeared [5316] the tares [2215] also [2532]. 40 13 27 So [1161] the servants [1401] of the householder [3617] came [4334] and said [2036] unto him [846], Sir [2962], didst [4687] not [3780] thou sow [4687] good [2570] seed [4690] in [1722] thy [4674] field [68]? from whence [4159] then [3767] hath it [2192] tares [2215]? 40 13 28 [1161] He said [5346] unto them [846], An enemy [2190] [444] hath done [4160] this [5124]. [1161] The servants [1401] said [2036] unto him [846], Wilt thou [2309] then [3767] that we go [565] and gather [4816] them [846] up [4816]? 40 13 29 But [1161] he said [5346], Nay [3756]; lest [3379] while ye gather up [4816] the tares [2215], ye root up [1610] also the wheat [4621] with [260] them [846]. 40 13 30 Let [863] both [297] grow together [4885] until [3360] the harvest [2326]: and [2532] in [1722] the time [2540] of harvest [2326] I will say [2046] to the reapers [2327], Gather ye together [4816] first [4412] the tares [2215], and [2532] bind [1210] them [846] in [1519] bundles [1197] to [4314] burn [2618] them [846]: but [1161] gather [4863] the wheat [4621] into [1519] my [3450] barn [596]. 40 13 31 Another [243] parable [3850] put he forth [3908] unto them [846], saying [3004], The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] to a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], which [3739] a man [444] took [2983], and sowed [4687] in [1722] his [846] field [68]: 40 13 32 Which [3739] indeed [3303] is [2076] the least [3398] of all [3956] seeds [4690]: but [1161] when [3752] it is grown [837], it is [2076] the greatest [3187] among herbs [3001], and [2532] becometh [1096] a tree [1186], so that [5620] the birds [4071] of the air [3772] come [2064] and [2532] lodge [2681] in [1722] the branches [2798] thereof [846]. 40 13 33 Another [243] parable [3850] spake he [2980] unto them [846]; The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto leaven [2219], which [3739] a woman [1135] took [2983], and hid [1470] in [1519] three [5140] measures [4568] of meal [224], till [2193] the whole [3650] was [3739] leavened [2220]. 40 13 34 All [3956] these things [5023] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] unto the multitude [3793] in [1722] parables [3850]; and [2532] without [5565] a parable [3850] spake he [2980] not [3756] unto them [846]: 40 13 35 That [3704] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], I will open [455] my [3450] mouth [4750] in [1722] parables [3850]; I will utter [2044] things which have been kept secret [2928] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]. 40 13 36 Then [5119] Jesus [2424] sent [863] the multitude [3793] away [863], and went [2064] into [1519] the house [3614]: and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846], saying [3004], Declare [5419] unto us [2254] the parable [3850] of the tares [2215] of the field [68]. 40 13 37 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], He that soweth [4687] the good [2570] seed [4690] is [2076] the Son [5207] of man [444]; 40 13 38 [1161] The field [68] is [2076] the world [2889]; [1161] the good [2570] seed [4690] are [3778] [1526] the children [5207] of the kingdom [932]; but [1161] the tares [2215] are [1526] the children [5207] of the wicked [4190] one; 40 13 39 [1161] The enemy [2190] that sowed [4687] them [846] is [2076] the devil [1228]; [1161] the harvest [2326] is [2076] the end [4930] of the world [165]; and [1161] the reapers [2327] are [1526] the angels [32]. 40 13 40 As [5618] therefore [3767] the tares [2215] are gathered [4816] and [2532] burned [2618] in the fire [4442]; so [3779] shall it be [2071] in [1722] the end [4930] of this [5127] world [165]. 40 13 41 The Son [5207] of man [444] shall send forth [649] his [846] angels [32], and [2532] they shall gather [4816] out of [1537] his [846] kingdom [932] all things [3956] that offend [4625], and [2532] them which do [4160] iniquity [458]; 40 13 42 And [2532] shall cast [906] them [846] into [1519] a furnace [2575] of fire [4442]: there [1563] shall be [2071] wailing [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 13 43 Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] shine forth [1584] as [5613] the sun [2246] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of their [846] Father [3962]. Who [3588] hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 40 13 44 Again [3825], the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto treasure [2344] hid [2928] in [1722] a field [68]; the which [3739] when a man [444] hath found [2147], he hideth [2928], and [2532] for [575] joy [5479] thereof [846] goeth [5217] and [2532] selleth [4453] all [3956] that [3745] he hath [2192], and [2532] buyeth [59] that [1565] field [68]. 40 13 45 Again [3825], the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a merchant [1713] man [444], seeking [2212] goodly [2570] pearls [3135]: 40 13 46 Who [3739], when he had found [2147] one [1520] pearl [3135] of great price [4186], went [565] and sold [4097] all [3956] that [3745] he had [2192], and [2532] bought [59] it [846]. 40 13 47 Again [3825], the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a net [4522], that was cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281], and [2532] gathered [4863] of [1537] every [3956] kind [1085]: 40 13 48 Which [3739], when [3753] it was full [4137], they drew [307] to [1909] shore [123], and [2532] sat down [2523], and gathered [4816] the good [2570] into [1519] vessels [30], but [1161] cast [906] the bad [4550] away [1854]. 40 13 49 So [3779] shall it be [2071] at [1722] the end [4930] of the world [165]: the angels [32] shall come forth [1831], and [2532] sever [873] the wicked [4190] from [1537] among [3319] the just [1342], 40 13 50 And [2532] shall cast [906] them [846] into [1519] the furnace [2575] of fire [4442]: there [1563] shall be [2071] wailing [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 13 51 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Have ye understood [4920] all [3956] these [5023] things [3956]? They say [3004] unto him [846], Yea [3483], Lord [2962]. 40 13 52 Then [1161] said [2036] he unto them [846], Therefore [1223] [5124] every [3956] scribe [1122] which is instructed [3100] unto [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a man [444] that is an householder [3617], which [3748] bringeth forth [1544] out of [1537] his [846] treasure [2344] things new [2537] and [2532] old [3820]. 40 13 53 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that when [3753] Jesus [2424] had finished [5055] these [5025] parables [3850], he departed [3332] thence [1564]. 40 13 54 And [2532] when he was come [2064] into [1519] his own [846] country [3968], he taught [1321] them [846] in [1722] their [846] synagogue [4864], insomuch that [5620] they [846] were astonished [1605], and [2532] said [3004], Whence [4159] hath this man [5129] this [3778] wisdom [4678], and [2532] these mighty works [1411]? 40 13 55 Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] the carpenter's [5045] son [5207]? is [3004] not [3780] his [846] mother [3384] called [3004] Mary [3137]? and [2532] his [846] brethren [80], James [2385], and [2532] Joses [2500], and [2532] Simon [4613], and [2532] Judas [2455]? 40 13 56 And [2532] his [846] sisters [79], are they [1526] not [3780] all [3956] with [4314] us [2248]? Whence [4159] then [3767] hath this man [5129] all [3956] these things [5023]? 40 13 57 And [2532] they were offended [4624] in [1722] him [846]. But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], A prophet [4396] is [2076] not [3756] without honour [820], save [1508] in [1722] his own [846] country [3968], and [2532] in [1722] his own [846] house [3614]. 40 13 58 And [2532] he did [4160] not [3756] many [4183] mighty works [1411] there [1563] because [1223] of their [846] unbelief [570]. 40 14 1 At [1722] that [1565] time [2540] Herod [2264] the tetrarch [5076] heard [191] of the fame [189] of Jesus [2424], 40 14 2 And [2532] said [2036] unto his [846] servants [3816], This [3778] is [2076] John [2491] the Baptist [910]; he [846] is risen [1453] from [575] the dead [3498]; and [2532] therefore [1223] [5124] mighty works [1411] do shew forth themselves [1754] in [1722] him [846]. 40 14 3 For [1063] Herod [2264] had laid hold [2902] on John [2491], and bound [1210] him [846], and [2532] put [5087] him in [1722] prison [5438] for [1223] Herodias' [2266] sake [1223], his [846] brother [80] Philip's [5376] wife [1135]. 40 14 4 For [1063] John [2491] said [3004] unto him [846], It is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for thee [4671] to have [2192] her [846]. 40 14 5 And [2532] when he would [2309] have put [615] him [846] to death [615], he feared [5399] the multitude [3793], because [3754] they counted [2192] him [846] as [5613] a prophet [4396]. 40 14 6 But [1161] when Herod's [2264] birthday [1077] was kept [71], the daughter [2364] of Herodias [2266] danced [3738] before them [1722] [3319], and [2532] pleased [700] Herod [2264]. 40 14 7 Whereupon [3606] he promised [3670] with [3326] an oath [3727] to give [1325] her [846] whatsoever [3739] [1437] she would ask [154]. 40 14 8 And [1161] she, being before instructed [4264] of [5259] her [846] mother [3384], said [5346], Give [1325] me [3427] here [5602] John [2491] Baptist's [910] head [2776] in [1909] a charger [4094]. 40 14 9 And [2532] the king [935] was sorry [3076]: nevertheless for [1161] [1223] the oath's sake [3727], and [2532] them which sat with him at meat [4873], he commanded [2753] it to be given [1325] her. 40 14 10 And [2532] he sent [3992], and beheaded [607] John [2491] in [1722] the prison [5438]. 40 14 11 And [2532] his [846] head [2776] was brought [5342] in [1909] a charger [4094], and [2532] given [1325] to the damsel [2877]: and [2532] she brought [5342] it to her [846] mother [3384]. 40 14 12 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334], and took up [142] the body [4983], and [2532] buried [2290] it [846], and [2532] went [2064] and told [518] Jesus [2424]. 40 14 13 When [2532] Jesus [2424] heard [191] of it, he departed [402] thence [1564] by [1722] ship [4143] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] apart [2596] [2398]: and [2532] when the people [3793] had heard [191] thereof, they followed [190] him [846] on foot [3979] out of [575] the cities [4172]. 40 14 14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went forth [1831], and saw [1492] a great [4183] multitude [3793], and [2532] was moved with compassion [4697] toward [1909] them [846], and [2532] he healed [2323] their [846] sick [732]. 40 14 15 And [1161] when it was [1096] evening [3798], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him [846], saying [3004], This is [2076] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] the time [5610] is now [2235] past [3928]; send [630] the multitude [3793] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the villages [2968], and buy [59] themselves [1438] victuals [1033]. 40 14 16 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], They need [5532] not [3756] depart [565] [2192]; give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. 40 14 17 And [1161] they say [3004] unto him [846], We have [2192] here [5602] but [3756] [1508] five [4002] loaves [740], and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486]. 40 14 18 [1161] He said [2036], Bring [5342] them [846] hither [5602] to me [3427]. 40 14 19 And [2532] he commanded [2753] the multitude [3793] to sit down [347] on [1909] the grass [5528], and [2532] took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740], and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127], and [2532] brake [2806], and gave [1325] the loaves [740] to his disciples [3101], and [1161] the disciples [3101] to the multitude [3793]. 40 14 20 And [2532] they did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526]: and [2532] they took up [142] of the fragments [2801] that remained [4052] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] full [4134]. 40 14 21 And [1161] they that had eaten [2068] were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435], beside [5565] women [1135] and [2532] children [3813]. 40 14 22 And [2532] straightway [2112] Jesus [2424] constrained [315] his [846] disciples [3101] to get [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and [2532] to go before [4254] him [846] unto [1519] the other side [4008], while [2193] [3739] he sent [630] the multitudes [3793] away [630]. 40 14 23 And [2532] when he had sent [630] the multitudes [3793] away [630], he went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735] apart [2596] [2398] to pray [4336]: and [1161] when the evening [3798] was come [1096], he was [2258] there [1563] alone [3441]. 40 14 24 But [1161] the ship [4143] was [2258] now [2235] in the midst [3319] of the sea [2281], tossed [928] with [5259] waves [2949]: for [1063] the wind [417] was [2258] contrary [1727]. 40 14 25 And [1161] in the fourth [5067] watch [5438] of the night [3571] Jesus [2424] went [565] unto [4314] them [846], walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281]. 40 14 26 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] him [846] walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281], they were troubled [5015], saying [3004] [3754], It is [2076] a spirit [5326]; and [2532] they cried out [2896] for [575] fear [5401]. 40 14 27 But [1161] straightway [2112] Jesus [2424] spake [2980] unto them [846], saying [3004], Be of good cheer [2293]; it is [1510] I [1473]; be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]. 40 14 28 And [1161] Peter [4074] answered [611] him [846] and said [2036], Lord [2962], if [1487] it be [1488] thou [4771], bid [2753] me [3165] come [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571] on [1909] the water [5204]. 40 14 29 And [1161] he said [2036], Come [2064]. And [2532] when Peter [4074] was come down [2597] out of [575] the ship [4143], he walked [4043] on [1909] the water [5204], to go [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. 40 14 30 But [1161] when he saw [991] the wind [417] boisterous [2478], he was afraid [5399]; and [2532] beginning [756] to sink [2670], he cried [2896], saying [3004], Lord [2962], save [4982] me [3165]. 40 14 31 And [1161] immediately [2112] Jesus [2424] stretched forth [1614] his hand [5495], and caught [1949] him [846], and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], O thou of little faith [3640], wherefore [1519] [5101] didst thou doubt [1365]? 40 14 32 And [2532] when they [846] were come [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], the wind [417] ceased [2869]. 40 14 33 Then [1161] they that were in [1722] the ship [4143] came [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Of a truth [230] thou art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 40 14 34 And [2532] when they were gone over [1276], they came [2064] into [1519] the land [1093] of Gennesaret [1082]. 40 14 35 And [2532] when the men [435] of that [1565] place [5117] had knowledge [1921] of him [846], they sent out [649] into [1519] all [3650] that [1565] country round about [4066], and [2532] brought [4374] unto him [846] all [3956] that were [2192] diseased [2560]; 40 14 36 And [2532] besought [3870] him [846] that [2443] they might [680] only [3440] touch [680] the hem [2899] of his [846] garment [2440]: and [2532] as many as [3745] touched [680] were made perfectly whole [1295]. 40 15 1 Then [5119] came [4334] to Jesus [2424] scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], which were of [575] Jerusalem [2414], saying [3004], 40 15 2 Why [1302] do thy [4675] disciples [3101] transgress [3845] the tradition [3862] of the elders [4245]? for [1063] they wash [3538] not [3756] their [846] hands [5495] when [3752] they eat [2068] bread [740]. 40 15 3 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Why [1302] do ye [5210] also [2532] transgress [3845] the commandment [1785] of God [2316] by [1223] your [5216] tradition [3862]? 40 15 4 For [1063] God [2316] commanded [1781], saying [3004], Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384]: and [2532], He that curseth [2551] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384], let him die [5053] the death [2288]. 40 15 5 But [1161] ye [5210] say [3004], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] to his father [3962] or [2228] his mother [3384], It is a gift [1435], by [1537] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou mightest be profited [5623] by me [1700]; 40 15 6 And [2532] honour [5091] not [3364] his [846] father [3962] or [2228] his [846] mother [3384], he shall be free. Thus [2532] have ye made [208] the commandment [1785] of God [2316] of none effect [208] by [1223] your [5216] tradition [3862]. 40 15 7 Ye hypocrites [5273], well [2573] did [4395] Esaias [2268] prophesy [4395] of [4012] you [5216], saying [3004], 40 15 8 This [3778] people [2992] draweth nigh [1448] unto me [3427] with their [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] honoureth [5091] me [3165] with their lips [5491]; but [1161] their [846] heart [2588] is [568] far [4206] from [575] me [1700]. 40 15 9 But [1161] in vain [3155] they do worship [4576] me [3165], teaching [1321] for doctrines [1319] the commandments [1778] of men [444]. 40 15 10 And [2532] he called [4341] the multitude [3793], and said [2036] unto them [846], Hear [191], and [2532] understand [4920]: 40 15 11 Not [3756] that which goeth [1525] into [1519] the mouth [4750] defileth [2840] a man [444]; but [235] that which cometh [1607] out of [1537] the mouth [4750], this [5124] defileth [2840] a man [444]. 40 15 12 Then [5119] came [4334] his [846] disciples [3101], and said [2036] unto him [846], Knowest thou [1492] that [3754] the Pharisees [5330] were offended [4624], after they heard [191] this saying [3056]? 40 15 13 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], Every [3956] plant [5451], which [3739] my [3450] heavenly [3770] Father [3962] hath [5452] not [3756] planted [5452], shall be rooted up [1610]. 40 15 14 Let [863] them [846] alone [863]: they be [1526] blind [5185] leaders [3595] of the blind [5185]. And [1161] if [1437] the blind [5185] lead [3594] the blind [5185], both [297] shall fall [4098] into [1519] the ditch [999]. 40 15 15 Then [1161] answered [611] Peter [4074] and said [2036] unto him [846], Declare [5419] unto us [2254] this [5026] parable [3850]. 40 15 16 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Are [2075] ye [5210] also [2532] yet [188] without understanding [801]? 40 15 17 Do [3539] not [3768] ye [3539] yet [3768] understand [3539], that [3754] whatsoever [3956] entereth in [1531] at [1519] the mouth [4750] goeth [5562] into [1519] the belly [2836], and [2532] is cast out [1544] into [1519] the draught [856]? 40 15 18 But [1161] those things which [3588] proceed [1607] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] come forth [1831] from [1537] the heart [2588]; and they [2548] defile [2840] the man [444]. 40 15 19 For [1063] out of [1537] the heart [2588] proceed [1831] evil [4190] thoughts [1261], murders [5408], adulteries [3430], fornications [4202], thefts [2829], false witness [5577], blasphemies [988]: 40 15 20 These [5023] are [2076] the things which [3588] defile [2840] a man [444]: but [1161] to eat [5315] with unwashen [449] hands [5495] defileth [2840] not [3756] a man [444]. 40 15 21 Then [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1831] thence [1564], and departed [402] into [1519] the coasts [3313] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605]. 40 15 22 And [2532], behold [2400], a woman [1135] of Canaan [5478] came [1831] out of [575] the same [1565] coasts [3725], and cried [2905] unto him [846], saying [3004], Have mercy [1653] on me [3165], O Lord [2962], thou Son [5207] of David [1138]; my [3450] daughter [2364] is grievously [2560] vexed with a devil [1139]. 40 15 23 But [1161] he answered [611] her [846] not [3756] a word [3056]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] and besought [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Send [630] her [846] away [630]; for [3754] she crieth [2896] after [3693] us [2257]. 40 15 24 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I am [649] not [3756] sent [649] but [1508] unto [1519] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474]. 40 15 25 Then [1161] came she [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], help [997] me [3427]. 40 15 26 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is [2076] not [3756] meet [2570] to take [2983] the children's [5043] bread [740], and [2532] to cast [906] it to dogs [2952]. 40 15 27 And [1161] she said [2036], Truth [3483], Lord [2962]: yet [2532] [1063] the dogs [2952] eat [2068] of [575] the crumbs [5589] which [3588] fall [4098] from [575] their [846] masters [2962]' table [5132]. 40 15 28 Then [5119] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], O [5599] woman [1135], great [3173] is thy [4675] faith [4102]: be it [1096] unto thee [4671] even as [5613] thou wilt [2309]. And [2532] her [846] daughter [2364] was made whole [2390] from [575] that very [1565] hour [5610]. 40 15 29 And [2532] Jesus [2424] departed [3327] from thence [1564], and came [2064] nigh unto [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056]; and [2532] went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and sat down [2521] there [1563]. 40 15 30 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] came [4334] unto him [846], having [2192] with [3326] them those that were [1438] lame [5560], blind [5185], dumb [2974], maimed [2948], and [2532] many [4183] others [2087], and [2532] cast [4496] them [846] down [4496] at [3844] Jesus [2424]' feet [4228]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846]: 40 15 31 Insomuch that [5620] the multitude [3793] wondered [2296], when they saw [991] the dumb [2974] to speak [2980], the maimed [2948] to be whole [5199], the lame [5560] to walk [4043], and [2532] the blind [5185] to see [991]: and [2532] they glorified [1392] the God [2316] of Israel [2474]. 40 15 32 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] called [4341] his [846] disciples [3101] unto him, and said [2036], I have compassion [4697] on [1909] the multitude [3793], because [3754] they continue [4357] with me [3427] now [2235] three [5140] days [2250], and [2532] have [2192] nothing [3756] [5101] to eat [5315]: and [2532] I will [2309] not [3756] send [630] them [846] away [630] fasting [3523], lest [3379] they faint [1590] in [1722] the way [3598]. 40 15 33 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] say [3004] unto him [846], Whence [4159] should we [2254] have so much [5118] bread [740] in [1722] the wilderness [2047], as [5620] to fill [5526] so great [5118] a multitude [3793]? 40 15 34 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], How many [4214] loaves [740] have ye [2192]? And [1161] they said [2036], Seven [2033], and [2532] a few [3641] little fishes [2485]. 40 15 35 And [2532] he commanded [2753] the multitude [3793] to sit down [377] on [1909] the ground [1093]. 40 15 36 And [2532] he took [2983] the seven [2033] loaves [740] and [2532] the fishes [2486], and gave thanks [2168], and brake [2806] them, and [2532] gave [1325] to his [846] disciples [3101], and [1161] the disciples [3101] to the multitude [3793]. 40 15 37 And [2532] they did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526]: and [2532] they took up [142] of the broken [2801] meat that was left [4052] seven [2033] baskets [4711] full [4134]. 40 15 38 And [1161] they that did eat [2068] were [2258] four thousand [5070] men [435], beside [5565] women [1135] and [2532] children [3813]. 40 15 39 And [2532] he sent away [630] the multitude [3793], and took [1684] ship [1519] [4143], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] the coasts [3725] of Magdala [3093]. 40 16 1 The Pharisees [5330] also [2532] with the Sadducees [4523] came [4334], and [2532] tempting [3985] desired [1905] him [846] that he would shew [1925] them [846] a sign [4592] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 40 16 2 [1161] He answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], When it is [1096] evening [3798], ye say [3004], It will be fair weather [2105]: for [1063] the sky [3772] is red [4449]. 40 16 3 And [2532] in the morning [4404], It will be foul weather [5494] to day [4594]: for [1063] the sky [3772] is red [4449] and lowring [4768]. O ye hypocrites [5273], ye can [1097] discern [1252] [3303] the face [4383] of the sky [3772]; but [1161] can ye [1410] not [3756] discern the signs [4592] of the times [2540]? 40 16 4 A wicked [4190] and [2532] adulterous [3428] generation [1074] seeketh after [1934] a sign [4592]; and [2532] there shall no [3756] sign [4592] be given [1325] unto it [846], but [1508] the sign [4592] of the prophet [4396] Jonas [2495]. And [2532] he left [2641] them [846], and departed [565]. 40 16 5 And [2532] when his [846] disciples [3101] were come [2064] to [1519] the other side [4008], they had forgotten [1950] to take [2983] bread [740]. 40 16 6 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Take heed [3708] and [2532] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523]. 40 16 7 And [1161] they reasoned [1260] among [1722] themselves [1438], saying [3004], It is because [3754] we have taken [2983] no [3756] bread [740]. 40 16 8 Which when [1161] Jesus [2424] perceived [1097], he said [2036] unto them [846], O ye of little faith [3640], why [5101] reason ye [1260] among [1722] yourselves [1438], because [3754] ye have brought [2983] no [3756] bread [740]? 40 16 9 Do ye [3539] not yet [3768] understand [3539], neither [3761] remember [3421] the five [4002] loaves [740] of the five thousand [4000], and [2532] how many [4214] baskets [2894] ye took up [2983]? 40 16 10 Neither [3761] the seven [2033] loaves [740] of the four thousand [5070], and [2532] how many [4214] baskets [4711] ye took up [2983]? 40 16 11 How [4459] is it that [3754] ye do [3539] not [3756] understand [3539] that I spake [2036] it not [3756] to you [5213] concerning [4012] bread [740], that ye should beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523]? 40 16 12 Then [5119] understood they [4920] how that [3754] he bade [2036] them not [3756] beware [4337] of [575] the leaven [2219] of bread [740], but [235] of [575] the doctrine [1322] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Sadducees [4523]. 40 16 13 When [1161] Jesus [2424] came [2064] into [1519] the coasts [3313] of Caesarea [2542] Philippi [5376], he asked [2065] his [846] disciples [3101], saying [3004], Whom [5101] do men [444] say [3004] that I [3165] the Son [5207] of man [444] am [1511]? 40 16 14 And [1161] they said [2036], Some say that thou art [3303] John [2491] the Baptist [910]: [1161] some [243], Elias [2243]; and [1161] others [2087], Jeremias [2408], or [2228] one [1520] of the prophets [4396]. 40 16 15 He saith [3004] unto them [846], But [1161] whom [5101] say [3004] ye [5210] that I [3165] am [1511]? 40 16 16 And [1161] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] answered [611] and said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of the living [2198] God [2316]. 40 16 17 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], Blessed [3107] art thou [1488], Simon [4613] Barjona [920]: for [3754] flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129] hath [601] not [3756] revealed [601] it unto thee [4671], but [235] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 16 18 And [1161] I say [3004] also [2504] unto thee [4671], That [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] Peter [4074], and [2532] upon [1909] this [5026] rock [4073] I will build [3618] my [3450] church [1577]; and [2532] the gates [4439] of hell [86] shall [2729] not [3756] prevail against [2729] it [846]. 40 16 19 And [2532] I will give [1325] unto thee [4671] the keys [2807] of the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou shalt loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 16 20 Then [5119] charged he [1291] his [846] disciples [3101] that [2443] they should tell [2036] no man [3367] that [3754] he [846] was [2076] Jesus [2424] the Christ [5547]. 40 16 21 From [575] that time forth [5119] began [756] Jesus [2424] to shew [1166] unto his [846] disciples [3101], how that [3754] he [846] must [1163] go [565] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] suffer [3958] many things [4183] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be killed [615], and [2532] be raised again [1453] the third [5154] day [2250]. 40 16 22 Then [2532] Peter [4074] took [4355] him [846], and began [756] to rebuke [2008] him [846], saying [3004], Be it far [2436] from thee [4671], Lord [2962]: this [5124] shall [2071] not [3364] be [2071] unto thee [4671]. 40 16 23 But [1161] he turned [4762], and said [2036] unto Peter [4074], Get thee [5217] behind [3694] me [3450], Satan [4567]: thou [1488] art [3754] an offence [4625] unto me [3450]: for thou savourest [5426] not [3756] the things [3588] that be of God [2316], but [235] those that be of men [444]. 40 16 24 Then [5119] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto his [846] disciples [3101], If any [1536] man will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427]. 40 16 25 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: and [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my [1700] sake [1752] shall find [2147] it [846]. 40 16 26 For [1063] what [5101] is a man [444] profited [5623], if [1437] he shall gain [2770] the whole [3650] world [2889], and [1161] lose [2210] his own [846] soul [5590]? or [2228] what [5101] shall a man [444] give [1325] in exchange [465] for his [846] soul [5590]? 40 16 27 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall [3195] come [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] his [846] angels [32]; and [2532] then [5119] he shall reward [591] every man [1538] according [2596] to his [846] works [4234]. 40 16 28 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], There be [1526] some [5100] standing [2476] here [5602], which [3748] shall [1089] not [3364] taste [1089] of death [2288], till [302] [2193] they see [1492] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] his [846] kingdom [932]. 40 17 1 And [2532] after [3326] six [1803] days [2250] Jesus [2424] taketh [3880] Peter [4074] [2532], James [2385], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], and [2532] bringeth [399] them [846] up [399] into [1519] an high [5308] mountain [3735] apart [2596] [2398], 40 17 2 And [2532] was transfigured [3339] before [1715] them [846]: and [2532] his [846] face [4383] did shine [2989] as [5613] the sun [2246], and [1161] his [846] raiment [2440] was [1096] white [3022] as [5613] the light [5457]. 40 17 3 And [2532], behold [2400], there appeared [3700] unto them [846] Moses [3475] and [2532] Elias [2243] talking [4814] with [3326] him [846]. 40 17 4 Then [1161] answered [611] Peter [4074], and said [2036] unto Jesus [2424], Lord [2962], it is [2076] good [2570] for us [2248] to be [1511] here [5602]: if [1487] thou wilt [2309], let us make [4160] here [5602] three [5140] tabernacles [4633]; one [3391] for thee [4671], and [2532] one [3391] for Moses [3475], and [2532] one [3391] for Elias [2243]. 40 17 5 While he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], behold [2400], a bright [5460] cloud [3507] overshadowed [1982] them [846]: and [2532] behold [2400] a voice [5456] out of [1537] the cloud [3507], which said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106]; hear ye [191] him [846]. 40 17 6 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] heard [191] it, they fell [4098] on [1909] their [846] face [4383], and [2532] were sore [4970] afraid [5399]. 40 17 7 And [2532] Jesus [2424] came [4334] and touched [680] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]. 40 17 8 And [1161] when they had lifted up [1869] their [846] eyes [3788], they saw [1492] no man [3762], save [1508] Jesus [2424] only [3441]. 40 17 9 And [2532] as they [846] came down [2597] from [575] the mountain [3735], Jesus [2424] charged [1781] them [846], saying [3004], Tell [2036] the vision [3705] to no man [3367], until [2193] [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] be risen again [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 40 17 10 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Why [5101] then [3767] say [3004] the scribes [1122] that [3754] Elias [2243] must [1163] first [4412] come [2064]? 40 17 11 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Elias [2243] truly [3303] shall first [4412] come [2064], and [2532] restore [600] all things [3956]. 40 17 12 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] Elias [2243] is come [2064] already [2235], and [2532] they knew [1921] him [846] not [3756], but [235] have done [4160] unto [1722] him [846] whatsoever [3745] they listed [2309]. Likewise [3779] shall [3195] also [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] suffer [3958] of [5259] them [846]. 40 17 13 Then [5119] the disciples [3101] understood [4920] that [3754] he spake [2036] unto them [846] of [4012] John [2491] the Baptist [910]. 40 17 14 And [2532] when they [846] were come [2064] to [4314] the multitude [3793], there came [4334] to him [846] a certain man [444], kneeling down [1120] to him [846], and [2532] saying [3004], 40 17 15 Lord [2962], have mercy [1653] on my [3450] son [5207]: for [3754] he is lunatick [4583], and [2532] sore [2560] vexed [3958]: for [1063] ofttimes [4178] he falleth [4098] into [1519] the fire [4442], and [2532] oft [4178] into [1519] the water [5204]. 40 17 16 And [2532] I brought [4374] him [846] to thy [4675] disciples [3101], and [2532] they could [1410] not [3756] cure [2323] him [846]. 40 17 17 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], O [5599] faithless [571] and [2532] perverse [1294] generation [1074], how long [2193] [4219] shall I be [2071] with [3326] you [5216]? how long [2193] [4219] shall I suffer [430] you [5216]? bring [5342] him [846] hither [5602] to me [3427]. 40 17 18 And [2532] Jesus [2424] rebuked [2008] the devil [1140]; and [2532] he [846] departed [1831] out of [575] him [846]: and [2532] the child [3816] was cured [2323] from [575] that very [1565] hour [5610]. 40 17 19 Then [5119] came [4334] the disciples [3101] to Jesus [2424] apart [2596] [2398], and said [2036], Why [1302] could [1410] not [3756] we [2249] cast [1544] him [846] out [1544]? 40 17 20 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Because [1223] of your [5216] unbelief [570]: for [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] ye have [2192] faith [4102] as [5613] a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], ye shall say [2046] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Remove [3327] hence [1782] to yonder place [1563]; and [2532] it shall remove [3327]; and [2532] nothing [3762] shall be impossible [101] unto you [5213]. 40 17 21 Howbeit [1161] this [5124] kind [1085] goeth [1607] not [3756] out [1607] but [1508] by [1722] prayer [4335] and [2532] fasting [3521]. 40 17 22 And [1161] while they [846] abode [390] in [1722] Galilee [1056], Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], The Son [5207] of man [444] shall be [3195] betrayed [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of men [444]: 40 17 23 And [2532] they shall kill [615] him [846], and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall be raised again [1453]. And [2532] they were exceeding [4970] sorry [3076]. 40 17 24 And [1161] when they [846] were come [2064] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], they that received [2983] tribute [1323] money came [4334] to Peter [4074], and [2532] said [2036], Doth [5055] not [3756] your [5216] master [1320] pay [5055] tribute [1323]? 40 17 25 He saith [3004], Yes [3483]. And [2532] when [3753] he was come [1525] into [1519] the house [3614], Jesus [2424] prevented [4399] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] thinkest [1380] thou [4671], Simon [4613]? of [575] whom [5101] do [2983] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] take [2983] custom [5056] or [2228] tribute [2778]? of [575] their own [846] children [5207], or [2228] of [575] strangers [245]? 40 17 26 Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto him [846], Of [575] strangers [245]. Jesus [2424] saith [5346] unto him [846], Then [686] are [1526] the children [5207] free [1658]. 40 17 27 Notwithstanding [1161], lest [3363] we should offend [4624] them [846], go thou [4198] to [1519] the sea [2281], and cast [906] an hook [44], and [2532] take up [142] the fish [2486] that first [4412] cometh up [305]; and [2532] when thou hast opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750], thou shalt find [2147] a piece of money [4715]: that [1565] take [2983], and give [1325] unto them [846] for [473] me [1700] and [2532] thee [4675]. 40 18 1 At [1722] the same [1565] time [5610] came [4334] the disciples [3101] unto Jesus [2424], saying [3004], Who [5101] [686] is [2076] the greatest [3187] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]? 40 18 2 And [2532] Jesus [2424] called [4341] a little child [3813] unto him [4341], and set [2476] him [846] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846], 40 18 3 And [2532] said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] ye be converted [4762], and [2532] become [1096] as [5613] little children [3813], ye shall [1525] not [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 18 4 Whosoever [3748] therefore [3767] shall humble [5013] himself [1438] as [5613] this [5124] little child [3813], the same [3778] is [2076] greatest [3187] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 18 5 And [2532] whoso [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] one [1520] such [5108] little child [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686] receiveth [1209] me [1691]. 40 18 6 But [1161] whoso [3739] [302] shall offend [4624] one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] which [3588] believe [4100] in [1519] me [1691], it were better [4851] for him [846] that [2443] a millstone [3458] [3684] were hanged [2910] about [1909] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] that he were drowned [2670] in [1722] the depth [3989] of the sea [2281]. 40 18 7 Woe [3759] unto the world [2889] because of [575] offences [4625]! for [1063] it must needs [318] be [2076] that offences [4625] come [2064]; but [4133] woe [3759] to that man [444] by [1565] whom [1223] [3739] the offence [4625] cometh [2064] ! 40 18 8 Wherefore [1161] if [1487] thy [4675] hand [5495] or [2228] thy [4675] foot [4228] offend thee [4624], cut [1581] them [846] off [1581], and [2532] cast [906] them from [575] thee [4571] [4675]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter into [1525] [1519] life [2222] halt [5560] or [2228] maimed [2948], rather than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] hands [5495] or [2228] two [1417] feet [4228] to be cast [906] into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442]. 40 18 9 And [2532] if [1487] thine [4675] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1807] it [846] out [1807], and [2532] cast [906] it from [575] thee [4675]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] life [2222] with one eye [3442], rather than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] eyes [3788] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442]. 40 18 10 Take heed [3708] that ye despise [2706] not [3361] one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398]; for [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] in [1722] heaven [3772] their [846] angels [32] do always [1223] [3956] behold [991] the face [4383] of my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 18 11 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to save [4982] that which [3588] was lost [622]. 40 18 12 How [5101] think [1380] ye [5213]? if [1437] [5100] a man [444] have [1096] an hundred [1540] sheep [4263], and [2532] one [1520] of [1537] them [846] be gone astray [4105], doth he [863] not [3780] leave [863] the ninety and nine [1768], and goeth [4198] into [1909] the mountains [3735], and seeketh [2212] that which [3588] is gone astray [4105]? 40 18 13 And [2532] if so [1437] be [1096] that he find [2147] it [846], verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213] [3754], he rejoiceth [5463] more [3123] of [1909] that [846] sheep, than [2228] of [1909] the ninety and nine [1768] which [3588] went [4105] not [3361] astray [4105]. 40 18 14 Even so [3779] it is [2076] not [3756] the will [2307] of [1715] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772], that [2443] one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] should perish [622]. 40 18 15 Moreover [1161] if [1437] thy [4675] brother [80] shall trespass [264] against [1519] thee [4571], go [5217] and [2532] tell [1651] him [846] his fault [1651] between [3342] thee [4675] and [2532] him [846] alone [3441]: if [1437] he shall hear [191] thee [4675], thou hast gained [2770] thy [4675] brother [80]. 40 18 16 But [1161] if [3362] he will [191] not [3362] hear [191] thee, then take [3880] with [3326] thee [4675] one [1520] or [2228] two [1417] more [2089], that [2443] in [1909] the mouth [4750] of two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] witnesses [3144] every [3956] word [4487] may be established [2476]. 40 18 17 And [1161] if [1437] he shall neglect to hear [3878] them [846], tell [2036] it unto the church [1577]: but [1161] [2532] if [1437] he neglect to hear [3878] the church [1577], let him be [2077] unto thee [4671] as [5618] an heathen man [1482] and [2532] a publican [5057]. 40 18 18 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Whatsoever [3745] [1437] ye shall bind [1210] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] bound [1210] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] whatsoever [3745] [1437] ye shall loose [3089] on [1909] earth [1093] shall be [2071] loosed [3089] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 18 19 Again [3825] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] if [1437] two [1417] of you [5216] shall agree [4856] on [1909] earth [1093] as touching [4012] any [3956] thing [4229] that [3739] [1437] they shall ask [154], it shall be done [1096] for them [846] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 18 20 For [1063] where [3757] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] are [1526] gathered together [4863] in [1519] my [1699] name [3686], there [1563] am I [1510] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846]. 40 18 21 Then [5119] came [4334] Peter [4074] to him [846], and said [2036], Lord [2962], how oft [4212] shall my [3450] brother [80] sin [264] against [1519] me [1691], and [2532] I forgive [863] him [846]? till [2193] seven times [2034]? 40 18 22 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], I say [3004] not [3756] unto thee [4671], Until [2193] seven times [2034]: but [235], Until [2193] seventy times [1441] seven [2033]. 40 18 23 Therefore [1223] [5124] is the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] likened [3666] unto a certain [444] king [935], which [3739] would [2309] take [4868] account [3056] of [3326] his [846] servants [1401]. 40 18 24 And [1161] when he [846] had begun [756] to reckon [4868], one [1520] was brought [4374] unto him [846], which owed [3781] him [846] ten thousand [3463] talents [5007]. 40 18 25 But forasmuch as [1161] he [846] had [2192] not [3361] to pay [591], his [846] lord [2962] commanded [2753] him [846] to be sold [4097], and [2532] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] children [5043], and [2532] all [3956] that [3745] he had [2192], and [2532] payment to be made [591]. 40 18 26 The servant [1401] therefore [3767] fell down [4098], and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], have patience [3114] with [1909] me [1698], and [2532] I will pay [591] thee [4671] all [3956]. 40 18 27 Then [1161] the lord [2962] of that [1565] servant [1401] was moved with compassion [4697], and loosed [630] him [846], and [2532] forgave [863] him [846] the debt [1156]. 40 18 28 But [1161] the same [1565] servant [1401] went out [1831], and found [2147] one [1520] of his [846] fellowservants [4889], which [3739] owed [3784] him [846] an hundred [1540] pence [1220]: and [2532] he laid hands [2902] on him [846], and took him by the throat [4155], saying [3004], Pay [591] me [3427] that [3748] thou owest [3784]. 40 18 29 And [3767] his [846] fellowservant [4889] fell down [4098] at [1519] his [846] feet [4228], and besought [3870] him [846], saying [3004], Have patience [3114] with [1909] me [1698], and [2532] I will pay [591] thee [4671] all [3956]. 40 18 30 And [1161] he would [2309] not [3756]: but [235] went [565] and cast [906] him [846] into [1519] prison [5438], till [2193] [3739] he should pay [591] the debt [3784]. 40 18 31 So [1161] when his [846] fellowservants [4889] saw [1492] what was done [1096], they were very [4970] sorry [3076], and [2532] came [2064] and told [1285] unto their [846] lord [2962] all [3956] that was done [1096]. 40 18 32 Then [5119] his [846] lord [2962], after that he had called [4341] him [846], said [3004] unto him [846], O thou wicked [4190] servant [1401], I forgave [863] thee [4671] all [3956] that [1565] debt [3782], because [1893] thou desiredst [3870] me [3165]: 40 18 33 Shouldest [1163] not [3756] thou [4571] also [2532] have had compassion [1653] on thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], even [2532] as [5613] I [1473] had pity [1653] on thee [4571]? 40 18 34 And [2532] his [846] lord [2962] was wroth [3710], and delivered [3860] him [846] to the tormentors [930], till [2193] [3739] he should pay [591] all [3956] that was due [3784] unto him [846]. 40 18 35 So [3779] likewise shall my [3450] heavenly [2032] Father [3962] do [4160] also [2532] unto you [5213], if [3362] ye from [575] your [5216] hearts [2588] forgive [863] not [3362] every one [1538] his [846] brother [80] their [846] trespasses [3900]. 40 19 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that when [3753] Jesus [2424] had finished [5055] these [5128] sayings [3056], he departed [3332] from [575] Galilee [1056], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] the coasts [3725] of Judaea [2449] beyond [4008] Jordan [2446]; 40 19 2 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] followed [190] him [846]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846] there [1563]. 40 19 3 The Pharisees [5330] also [2532] came [4334] unto him [846], tempting [3985] him [846], and [2532] saying [3004] unto him [846], Is it lawful [1487] [1832] for a man [444] to put away [630] his [846] wife [1135] for [2596] every [3956] cause [156]? 40 19 4 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Have ye [314] not [3756] read [314], that [3754] he which [3588] made [4160] them at [575] the beginning [746] made [4160] them [846] male [730] and [2532] female [2338], 40 19 5 And [2532] said [2036], For this [5127] cause [1752] shall a man [444] leave [2641] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] shall cleave [4347] to his [846] wife [1135]: and [2532] they twain [1417] shall be [2071] [1519] one [3391] flesh [4561]? 40 19 6 Wherefore [5620] they are [1526] no more [3765] twain [1417], but [235] one [3391] flesh [4561]. What [3739] therefore [3767] God [2316] hath joined together [4801], let [5563] not [3361] man [444] put asunder [5563]. 40 19 7 They say [3004] unto him [846], Why [5101] did Moses [3475] then [3767] command [1781] to give [1325] a writing [975] of divorcement [647], and [2532] to put [630] her [846] away [630]? 40 19 8 He saith [3004] unto them [846], [3754] Moses [3475] because of [4314] the hardness [4641] of your [5216] hearts [4641] suffered [2010] you [5213] to put away [630] your [5216] wives [1135]: but [1161] from [575] the beginning [746] it was [1096] not [3756] so [3779]. 40 19 9 And [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], except [1508] it be for [1909] fornication [4202], and [2532] shall marry [1060] another [243], committeth adultery [3429]: and [2532] whoso marrieth [1060] her which [3588] is put away [630] doth commit adultery [3429]. 40 19 10 His [846] disciples [3101] say [3004] unto him [846], If [1487] the case [156] of the man [444] be [2076] so [3779] with [3326] his wife [1135], it is [4851] not [3756] good [4851] to marry [1060]. 40 19 11 But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], All [3956] men cannot [3756] receive [5562] this [5126] saying [3056], save [235] they to whom [3739] it is given [1325]. 40 19 12 For [1063] there are [1526] some eunuchs [2135], which [3748] were so [3779] born [1080] from [1537] their mother's [3384] womb [2836]: and [2532] there are [1526] some eunuchs [2135], which [3748] were made eunuchs [2134] of [5259] men [444]: and [2532] there be [1526] eunuchs [2135], which [3748] have made [2134] themselves [1438] eunuchs [2134] for [1223] the kingdom [932] of heaven's sake [3772]. He that is able [1410] to receive [5562] it, let him receive [5562] it. 40 19 13 Then [5119] were there brought [4374] unto him [846] little children [3813], that [2443] he should put [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] them [846], and [2532] pray [4336]: and [1161] the disciples [3101] rebuked [2008] them [846]. 40 19 14 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Suffer [863] little children [3813], and [2532] forbid [2967] them [846] not [3361], to come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165]: for [1063] of such [5108] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 19 15 And [2532] he laid [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] them [846], and departed [4198] thence [1564]. 40 19 16 And [2532], behold [2400], one [1520] came [4334] and said [2036] unto him [846], Good [18] Master [1320], what [5101] good thing [18] shall I do [4160], that [2443] I may have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]? 40 19 17 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Why [5101] callest thou [3004] me [3165] good [18]? there is none [3762] good [18] but [1508] one [1520], that is, God [2316]: but [1161] if [1487] thou wilt [2309] enter [1525] into [1519] life [2222], keep [5083] the commandments [1785]. 40 19 18 He saith [3004] unto him [846], Which [4169]? [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Thou shalt do [5407] no [3756] murder [5407], Thou shalt [3431] not [3756] commit adultery [3431], Thou shalt [2813] not [3756] steal [2813], Thou shalt [5576] not [3756] bear false witness [5576], 40 19 19 Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] thy mother [3384]: and [2532], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572]. 40 19 20 The young man [3495] saith [3004] unto him [846], All [3956] these things [5023] have I kept [5442] from [1537] my [3450] youth up [3503]: what [5101] lack [5302] I yet [2089]? 40 19 21 Jesus [2424] said [5346] unto him [846], If [1487] thou wilt [2309] be [1511] perfect [5046], go [5217] and sell [4453] that thou [4675] hast [5224], and [2532] give [1325] to the poor [4434], and [2532] thou shalt have [2192] treasure [2344] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] come [1204] and follow [190] me [3427]. 40 19 22 But [1161] when the young man [3495] heard [191] that saying [3056], he went away [565] sorrowful [3076]: for [1063] he had [2192] [2258] great [4183] possessions [2933]. 40 19 23 Then [1161] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto his [846] disciples [3101], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] a rich man [4145] shall hardly [1423] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772]. 40 19 24 And [1161] again [3825] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It is [2076] easier [2123] for a camel [2574] to go [1330] through [1223] the eye [5169] of a needle [4476], than [2228] for a rich man [4145] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 40 19 25 When [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] it, they were exceedingly [4970] amazed [1605], saying [3004], Who [5101] then [686] can [1410] be saved [4982]? 40 19 26 But [1161] Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] them, and said [2036] unto them [846], With [3844] men [444] this [5124] is [2076] impossible [102]; but [1161] with [3844] God [2316] all things [3956] are [2076] possible [1415]. 40 19 27 Then [5119] answered [611] Peter [4074] and said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], we [2249] have forsaken [863] all [3956], and [2532] followed [190] thee [4671]; what [5101] shall we [2254] have [2071] therefore [686]? 40 19 28 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] ye [5210] which [3588] have followed [190] me [3427], in [1722] the regeneration [3824] when [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall sit [2523] in [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391], ye [5210] also [2532] shall sit [2523] upon [1909] twelve [1427] thrones [2362], judging [2919] the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of Israel [2474]. 40 19 29 And [2532] every [3956] one [3739] that hath forsaken [863] houses [3614], or [2228] brethren [80], or [2228] sisters [79], or [2228] father [3962], or [2228] mother [3384], or [2228] wife [1135], or [2228] children [5043], or [2228] lands [68], for my [3450] name's [3686] sake [1752], shall receive [2983] an hundredfold [1542], and [2532] shall inherit [2816] everlasting [166] life [2222]. 40 19 30 But [1161] many [4183] that are first [4413] shall be [2071] last [2078]; and [2532] the last [2078] shall be first [4413]. 40 20 1 For [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a man [444] that is an householder [3617], which [3748] went out [1831] early in the morning [260] [4404] to hire [3409] labourers [2040] into [1519] his [846] vineyard [290]. 40 20 2 And [1161] when he had agreed [4856] with [3326] the labourers [2040] for [1537] a penny [1220] a day [2250], he sent [649] them [846] into [1519] his [846] vineyard [290]. 40 20 3 And [2532] he went out [1831] about [4012] the third [5154] hour [5610], and saw [1492] others [243] standing [2476] idle [692] in [1722] the marketplace [58], 40 20 4 And said [2036] unto them [2548]; Go [5217] ye [5210] also [2532] into [1519] the vineyard [290], and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] is [5600] right [1342] I will give [1325] you [5213]. And [1161] they went their way [565]. 40 20 5 Again [3825] he went out [1831] about [4012] the sixth [1623] and [2532] ninth [1766] hour [5610], and did [4160] likewise [5615]. 40 20 6 And [1161] about [4012] the eleventh [1734] hour [5610] he went out [1831], and found [2147] others [243] standing [2476] idle [692], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] stand ye [2476] here [5602] all [3650] the day [2250] idle [692]? 40 20 7 They say [3004] unto him [846], Because [3754] no man [3762] hath hired [3409] us [2248]. He saith [3004] unto them [846], Go [5217] ye [5210] also [2532] into [1519] the vineyard [290]; and [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] is [5600] right [1342], that shall ye receive [2983]. 40 20 8 So [1161] when even [3798] was come [1096], the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290] saith [3004] unto his [846] steward [2012], Call [2564] the labourers [2040], and [2532] give [591] them [846] their hire [3408], beginning [756] from [575] the last [2078] unto [2193] the first [4413]. 40 20 9 And [2532] when they came [2064] that were hired about [4012] the eleventh [1734] hour [5610], they received [2983] every man [303] a penny [1220]. 40 20 10 But [1161] when the first [4413] came [2064], they supposed [3543] that [3754] they should have received [2983] more [4119]; and [2532] they likewise [2532] received [2983] every man [846] [303] a penny [1220]. 40 20 11 And [1161] when they had received [2983] it, they murmured [1111] against [2596] the goodman of the house [3617], 40 20 12 [3754] Saying [3004], These [3778] last [2078] have wrought [4160] but one [3391] hour [5610], and [2532] thou hast made [4160] them [846] equal [2470] unto us [2254], which [3588] have borne [941] the burden [922] and [2532] heat [2742] of the day [2250]. 40 20 13 But [1161] he answered [611] one [1520] of them [846], and said [2036], Friend [2083], I do [91] thee [4571] no [3756] wrong [91]: didst [4856] not [3780] thou agree [4856] with me [3427] for a penny [1220]? 40 20 14 Take [142] that thine [4674] is, and [2532] go thy way [5217]: [1161] I will [2309] give [1325] unto this [5129] last [2078], even [2532] as [5613] unto thee [4671]. 40 20 15 [2228] Is it not [3756] lawful [1832] for me [3427] to do [4160] what [3739] I will [2309] with [1722] mine own [1699]? [1487] Is [2076] thine [4675] eye [3788] evil [4190], because [3754] I [1473] am [1510] good [18]? 40 20 16 So [3779] the last [2078] shall be [2071] first [4413], and [2532] the first [4413] last [2078]: for [1063] many [4183] be [1526] called [2822], but [1161] few [3641] chosen [1588]. 40 20 17 And [2532] Jesus [2424] going up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414] took [3880] the twelve [1427] disciples [3101] apart [2596] [2398] in [1722] the way [3598], and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], 40 20 18 Behold [2400], we go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]; and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall be betrayed [3860] unto the chief priests [749] and [2532] unto the scribes [1122], and [2532] they shall condemn [2632] him [846] to death [2288], 40 20 19 And [2532] shall deliver [3860] him [846] to the Gentiles [1484] to [1519] mock [1702], and [2532] to scourge [3146], and [2532] to crucify [4717] him: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450]. 40 20 20 Then [5119] came [4334] to him [846] the mother [3384] of Zebedee's [2199] children [5207] with [3326] her [846] sons [5207], worshipping [4352] him, and [2532] desiring [154] a certain [5100] thing [3844] of him [846]. 40 20 21 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], What [5101] wilt thou [2309]? She saith [3004] unto him [846], Grant [2036] that [2443] these [3778] my [3450] two [1417] sons [5207] may sit [2523], the one [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] right hand [1188], and [2532] the other [1520] on [1537] the left [2176], in [1722] thy [4675] kingdom [932]. 40 20 22 But [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], Ye know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] ye ask [154]. Are ye able [1410] to drink [4095] of the cup [4221] that [3739] I [1473] shall [3195] drink of [4095], and [2532] to be baptized [907] with the baptism [908] that [3739] I [1473] am baptized with [907]? They say [3004] unto him [846], We are able [1410]. 40 20 23 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Ye shall drink [4095] indeed [3303] of my [3450] cup [4221], and [2532] be baptized [907] with the baptism [908] that [3739] I [1473] am baptized with [907]: but [1161] to sit [2523] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], and [2532] on [1537] my [3450] left [2176], is [2076] not [3756] mine [1699] to give [1325], but [235] it shall be given to them for whom [3739] it is prepared [2090] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962]. 40 20 24 And [2532] when the ten [1176] heard [191] it, they were moved with indignation [23] against [4012] the two [1417] brethren [80]. 40 20 25 But [1161] Jesus [2424] called [4341] them [846] unto him, and said [2036], Ye know [1492] that [3754] the princes [758] of the Gentiles [1484] exercise dominion over [2634] them [846], and [2532] they that are great [3173] exercise authority upon [2715] them [846]. 40 20 26 But [1161] it shall [2071] not [3756] be [2071] so [3779] among [1722] you [5213]: but [235] whosoever [3739] [1437] will [2309] be [1096] great [3173] among [1722] you [5213], let him be [2077] your [5216] minister [1249]; 40 20 27 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] will [2309] be [1511] chief [4413] among [1722] you [5213], let him be [2077] your [5216] servant [1401]: 40 20 28 Even as [5618] the Son [5207] of man [444] came [2064] not [3756] to be ministered unto [1247], but [235] to minister [1247], and [2532] to give [1325] his [846] life [5590] a ransom [3083] for [473] many [4183]. 40 20 29 And [2532] as they [846] departed [1607] from [575] Jericho [2410], a great [4183] multitude [3793] followed [190] him [846]. 40 20 30 And [2532], behold [2400], two [1417] blind men [5185] sitting [2521] by the way [3598] side [3844], when they heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] passed by [3855], cried out [2896], saying [3004], Have mercy [1653] on us [2248], O Lord [2962], thou Son [5207] of David [1138]. 40 20 31 And [1161] the multitude [3793] rebuked [2008] them [846], because [2443] they should hold their peace [4623]: but [1161] they cried [2896] the more [3185], saying [3004], Have mercy [1653] on us [2248], O Lord [2962], thou Son [5207] of David [1138]. 40 20 32 And [2532] Jesus [2424] stood still [2476], and called [5455] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], What [5101] will ye [2309] that I shall do [4160] unto you [5213]? 40 20 33 They say [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], that [2443] our [2257] eyes [3788] may be opened [455]. 40 20 34 So [1161] Jesus [2424] had compassion [4697] on them, and touched [680] their [846] eyes [3788]: and [2532] immediately [2112] their [846] eyes [3788] received sight [308], and [2532] they followed [190] him [846]. 40 21 1 And [2532] when [3753] they drew nigh [1448] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] were come [2064] to [1519] Bethphage [967], unto [4314] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], then [5119] sent [649] Jesus [2424] two [1417] disciples [3101], 40 21 2 Saying [3004] unto them [846], Go [4198] into [1519] the village [2968] over against [561] you [5216], and [2532] straightway [2112] ye shall find [2147] an ass [3688] tied [1210], and [2532] a colt [4454] with [3326] her [846]: loose [3089] them, and bring [71] them unto me [3427]. 40 21 3 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] say [2036] ought [5100] unto you [5213], ye shall say [2046], [3754] The Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of them [846]; and [1161] straightway [2112] he will send [649] them [846]. 40 21 4 All [1161] [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], 40 21 5 Tell ye [2036] the daughter [2364] of Sion [4622], Behold [2400], thy [4675] King [935] cometh [2064] unto thee [4671], meek [4239], and [2532] sitting [1910] upon [1909] an ass [3688], and [2532] a colt [4454] the foal [5207] of an ass [5268]. 40 21 6 And [1161] the disciples [3101] went [4198], and [2532] did [4160] as [2531] Jesus [2424] commanded [4367] them [846], 40 21 7 And brought [71] the ass [3688], and [2532] the colt [4454], and [2532] put [2007] on [1883] them [846] their [846] clothes [2440], and [2532] they set [1940] [1940] him thereon [1883] [846]. 40 21 8 And [1161] a very great [4118] multitude [3793] spread [4766] their [1438] garments [2440] in [1722] the way [3598]; others [1161] [243] cut down [2875] branches [2798] from [575] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1722] the way [3598]. 40 21 9 And [1161] the multitudes [3793] that went before [4254], and [2532] that followed [190], cried [2896], saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]: Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]; Hosanna [5614] in [1722] the highest [5310]. 40 21 10 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], all [3956] the city [4172] was moved [4579], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778]? 40 21 11 And [1161] the multitude [3793] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] Jesus [2424] the prophet [4396] of [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056]. 40 21 12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058], 40 21 13 And [2532] said [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] shall be called [2564] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]; but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027]. 40 21 14 And [2532] the blind [5185] and [2532] the lame [5560] came [4334] to him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846]. 40 21 15 And [1161] when the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] saw [1492] the wonderful things [2297] that [3739] he did [4160], and [2532] the children [3816] crying [2896] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]; they were sore displeased [23], 40 21 16 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] what [5101] these [3778] say [3004]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Yea [3483]; have ye never [3763] read [314], [3754] Out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of babes [3516] and [2532] sucklings [2337] thou hast perfected [2675] praise [136]? 40 21 17 And [2532] he left [2641] them [846], and went [1831] out of [1854] the city [4172] into [1519] Bethany [963]; and [2532] he lodged [835] there [1563]. 40 21 18 Now [1161] in the morning [4405] as he returned [1877] into [1519] the city [4172], he hungered [3983]. 40 21 19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583]. 40 21 20 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] soon [3916] is the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583] ! 40 21 21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] ye have [2192] faith [4102], and [2532] doubt [1252] not [3361], ye shall [4160] not [3756] only [3440] do [4160] this [3440] which is done to the fig tree [4808], but [235] also if [2579] ye shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; it shall be done [1096]. 40 21 22 And [2532] all things [3956], whatsoever [302] [3745] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] prayer [4335], believing [4100], ye shall receive [2983]. 40 21 23 And [2532] when he [846] was come [2064] into [1519] the temple [2411], the chief priests [749] and [2532] the elders [4245] of the people [2992] came [4334] unto him [846] as he was teaching [1321], and said [3004], By [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] doest thou [4160] these things [5023]? and [2532] who [5101] gave [1325] thee [4671] this [5026] authority [1849]? 40 21 24 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], I also [2504] will ask [2065] you [5209] one [1520] thing [3056], which [3739] if [1437] ye tell [2036] me [3427], I in like wise [2504] will tell [2046] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] these things [5023]. 40 21 25 The baptism [908] of John [2491], whence [4159] was it [2258]? from [1537] heaven [3772], or [2228] of [1537] men [444]? And [1161] they reasoned [1260] with [3844] themselves [1438], saying [3004], If [1437] we shall say [2036], From [1537] heaven [3772]; he will say [2046] unto us [2254], Why [1302] did ye [4100] not [3756] then [3767] believe [4100] him [846]? 40 21 26 But [1161] if [1437] we shall say [2036], Of [1537] men [444]; we fear [5399] the people [3793]; for [1063] all [3956] hold [2192] John [2491] as [5613] a prophet [4396]. 40 21 27 And [2532] they answered [611] Jesus [2424], and said [2036], We cannot [3756] tell [1492]. And [2532] he [846] said [5346] unto them [846], Neither [3761] tell [3004] I [1473] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] these things [5023]. 40 21 28 But [1161] what [5101] think [1380] ye [5213]? A certain man [444] had [2192] two [1417] sons [5043]; and [2532] he came [4334] to the first [4413], and said [2036], Son [5043], go [5217] work [2038] to day [4594] in [1722] my [3450] vineyard [290]. 40 21 29 He answered [1161] [611] and said [2036], I will [2309] not [3756]: but [1161] afterward [5305] he repented [3338], and went [565]. 40 21 30 And [2532] he came [4334] to the second [1208], and said [2036] likewise [5615]. And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I [1473] go, sir [2962]: and [2532] went [565] not [3756]. 40 21 31 Whether [5101] of [1537] them twain [1417] did [4160] the will [2307] of his father [3962]? They say [3004] unto him [846], The first [4413]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] the publicans [5057] and [2532] the harlots [4204] go [4254] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] before [4254] you [5209]. 40 21 32 For [1063] John [2491] came [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] in [1722] the way [3598] of righteousness [1343], and [2532] ye believed [4100] him [846] not [3756]: but [1161] the publicans [5057] and [2532] the harlots [4204] believed [4100] him [846]: and [1161] ye [5210], when ye had seen [1492] it, repented [3338] not [3756] afterward [5305], that ye might believe [4100] him [846]. 40 21 33 Hear [191] another [243] parable [3850]: There was [2258] a certain [444] [5100] householder [3617], which [3748] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] hedged [5418] it [846] round about [4060], and [2532] digged [3736] a winepress [3025] in [1722] it [846], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589]: 40 21 34 And [1161] when [3753] the time [2540] of the fruit [2590] drew near [1448], he sent [649] his [846] servants [1401] to [4314] the husbandmen [1092], that they might receive [2983] the fruits [2590] of it [846]. 40 21 35 And [2532] the husbandmen [1092] took [2983] his [846] servants [1401], and beat [1194] one [3739], [3303] and [1161] killed [615] another [3739], and [1161] stoned [3036] another [3739]. 40 21 36 Again [3825], he sent [649] other [243] servants [1401] more [4119] than the first [4413]: and [2532] they did [4160] unto them [846] likewise [5615]. 40 21 37 But [1161] last of all [5305] he sent [649] unto [4314] them [846] his [846] son [5207], saying [3004], They will reverence [1788] my [3450] son [5207]. 40 21 38 But [1161] when the husbandmen [1092] saw [1492] the son [5207], they said [2036] among [1722] themselves [1438], This [3778] is [2076] the heir [2818]; come [1205], let us kill [615] him [846], and [2532] let us seize [2722] on his [846] inheritance [2817]. 40 21 39 And [2532] they caught [2983] him [846], and cast [1544] him out of [1854] the vineyard [290], and [2532] slew [615] him. 40 21 40 When [3752] the lord [2962] therefore [3767] of the vineyard [290] cometh [2064], what [5101] will he do [4160] unto those [1565] husbandmen [1092]? 40 21 41 They say [3004] unto him [846], He will miserably [2560] destroy [622] those [846] wicked men [2556], and [2532] will let out [1554] his vineyard [290] unto other [243] husbandmen [1092], which [3748] shall render [591] him [846] the fruits [2590] in [1722] their [846] seasons [2540]. 40 21 42 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Did ye [314] never [3763] read [314] in [1722] the scriptures [1124], The stone [3037] which [3739] the builders [3618] rejected [593], the same [3778] is become [1096] [1519] the head [2776] of the corner [1137]: this [3778] is [3844] the Lord's [2962] doing [1096], and [2532] it is [2076] marvellous [2298] in [1722] our [2257] eyes [3788]? 40 21 43 Therefore [1223] [5124] say I [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] The kingdom [932] of God [2316] shall be taken [142] from [575] you [5216], and [2532] given [1325] to a nation [1484] bringing forth [4160] the fruits [2590] thereof [846]. 40 21 44 And [2532] whosoever shall fall [4098] on [1909] this [5126] stone [3037] shall be broken [4917]: but [1161] on [1909] whomsoever [3739] [302] it shall fall [4098], it will grind [3039] him [846] to powder [3039]. 40 21 45 And [2532] when the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] had heard [191] his [846] parables [3850], they perceived [1097] that [3754] he spake [3004] of [4012] them [846]. 40 21 46 But [2532] when they sought [2212] to lay hands [2902] on him [846], they feared [5399] the multitude [3793], because [1894] they took [2192] him [846] for [5613] a prophet [4396]. 40 22 1 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and spake [2036] unto them [846] again [3825] by [1722] parables [3850], and said [3004], 40 22 2 The kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is like [3666] unto a certain [444] king [935], which [3748] made [4160] a marriage [1062] for his [846] son [5207], 40 22 3 And [2532] sent forth [649] his [846] servants [1401] to call [2564] them that were bidden [2564] to [1519] the wedding [1062]: and [2532] they would [2309] not [3756] come [2064]. 40 22 4 Again [3825], he sent forth [649] other [243] servants [1401], saying [3004], Tell [2036] them which are bidden [2564], Behold [2400], I have prepared [2090] my [3450] dinner [712]: my [3450] oxen [5022] and [2532] my fatlings [4619] are killed [2380], and [2532] all things [3956] are ready [2092]: come [1205] unto [1519] the marriage [1062]. 40 22 5 But [1161] they made light of [272] it, and went their ways [565], one [3303] to [1519] his [2398] farm [68], another [1161] to [1519] his [846] merchandise [1711]: 40 22 6 And [1161] the remnant [3062] took [2902] his [846] servants [1401], and entreated them spitefully [5195], and [2532] slew [615] them. 40 22 7 But [1161] when the king [935] heard [191] thereof, he was wroth [3710]: and [2532] he sent forth [3992] his [846] armies [4753], and destroyed [622] those [1565] murderers [5406], and [2532] burned up [1714] their [846] city [4172]. 40 22 8 Then [5119] saith he [3004] to his [846] servants [1401], [3303] The wedding [1062] is [2076] ready [2092], but [1161] they which were bidden [2564] were [2258] not [3756] worthy [514]. 40 22 9 Go ye [4198] therefore [3767] into [1909] the highways [1327] [3598], and [2532] as many as [3745] [302] ye shall find [2147], bid [2564] to [1519] the marriage [1062]. 40 22 10 So [2532] those [1565] servants [1401] went out [1831] into [1519] the highways [3598], and gathered together [4863] all [3956] as many as [3745] they found [2147], both [5037] bad [4190] and [2532] good [18]: and [2532] the wedding [1062] was furnished [4130] with guests [345]. 40 22 11 And [1161] when [1525] the king [935] came in [1525] to see [2300] the guests [345], he saw [1492] there [1563] a man [444] which had [1746] not [3756] on [1746] a wedding [1062] garment [1742]: 40 22 12 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Friend [2083], how [4459] camest thou [1525] in hither [5602] not [3361] having [2192] a wedding [1062] garment [1742]? And [1161] he was speechless [5392]. 40 22 13 Then [5119] said [2036] the king [935] to the servants [1249], Bind [1210] him [846] hand [5495] and [2532] foot [4228], and take [142] him [846] away [142], and [2532] cast [1544] him into [1519] outer [1857] darkness [4655]; there [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 22 14 For [1063] many [4183] are [1526] called [2822], but [1161] few [3641] are chosen [1588]. 40 22 15 Then [5119] went [4198] the Pharisees [5330], and took [2983] counsel [4824] how [3704] they might entangle [3802] him [846] in [1722] his talk [3056]. 40 22 16 And [2532] they sent out [649] unto him [846] their [846] disciples [3101] with [3326] the Herodians [2265], saying [3004], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou art [1488] true [227], and [2532] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] in [1722] truth [225], [2532] neither [3756] carest [3199] thou [4671] for [4012] any [3762] man: for [1063] thou regardest [991] not [1519] [3756] the person [4383] of men [444]. 40 22 17 Tell [2036] us [2254] therefore [3767], What [5101] thinkest [1380] thou [4671]? Is it lawful [1832] to give [1325] tribute [2778] unto Caesar [2541], or [2228] not [3756]? 40 22 18 But [1161] Jesus [2424] perceived [1097] their [846] wickedness [4189], and said [2036], Why [5101] tempt ye [3985] me [3165], ye hypocrites [5273]? 40 22 19 Shew [1925] me [3427] the tribute [2778] money [3546]. And [1161] they brought [4374] unto him [846] a penny [1220]. 40 22 20 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Whose [5101] is this [3778] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923]? 40 22 21 They say [3004] unto him [846], Caesar's [2541]. Then [5119] saith he [3004] unto them [846], Render [591] therefore [3767] unto Caesar [2541] the things which are [3588] Caesar's [2541]; and [2532] unto God [2316] the things that are [3588] God's [2316]. 40 22 22 When [2532] they had heard [191] these words, they marvelled [2296], and [2532] left [863] him [846], and went their way [565]. 40 22 23 The same [1722] [1565] day [2250] came [4334] to him [846] the Sadducees [4523], which [3588] say [3004] that there is [1511] no [3361] resurrection [386], and [2532] asked [1905] him [846], 40 22 24 Saying [3004], Master [1320], Moses [3475] said [2036], If [1437] a man [5100] die [599], having [2192] no [3361] children [5043], his [846] brother [80] shall marry [1918] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [450] seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80]. 40 22 25 Now [1161] there were [2258] with [3844] us [2254] seven [2033] brethren [80]: and [2532] the first [4413], when he had married a wife [1060], deceased [5053], and [2532], having [2192] no [3361] issue [4690], left [863] his [846] wife [1135] unto his [846] brother [80]: 40 22 26 Likewise [3668] the second [1208] also [2532], and [2532] the third [5154], unto [2193] the seventh [2033]. 40 22 27 And [1161] last [5305] of all [3956] the woman [1135] died [599] also [2532]. 40 22 28 Therefore [3767] in [1722] the resurrection [386] whose [5101] wife [1135] shall she be [2071] of the seven [2033]? for [1063] they all [3956] had [2192] her [846]. 40 22 29 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Ye do err [4105], not [3361] knowing [1492] the scriptures [1124], nor [3366] the power [1411] of God [2316]. 40 22 30 For [1063] in [1722] the resurrection [386] they neither [3777] marry [1060], nor [3777] are given in marriage [1547], but [235] are [1526] as [5613] the angels [32] of God [2316] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 22 31 But [1161] as touching [4012] the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] that which [3588] was spoken [4483] unto you [5213] by [5259] God [2316], saying [3004], 40 22 32 I [1473] am [1510] the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]? God [2316] is [2076] not [3756] the God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] of the living [2198]. 40 22 33 And [2532] when the multitude [3793] heard [191] this, they were astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322]. 40 22 34 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] had heard [191] that [3754] he had put [5392] the Sadducees [4523] to silence [5392], they were gathered together [4863] [1909] [846]. 40 22 35 Then [2532] one [1520] of [1537] them [846], which was a lawyer [3544], asked [1905] him a question, tempting [3985] him [846], and [2532] saying [3004], 40 22 36 Master [1320], which [4169] is the great [3173] commandment [1785] in [1722] the law [3551]? 40 22 37 [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1722] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271]. 40 22 38 This [3778] is [2076] the first [4413] and [2532] great [3173] commandment [1785]. 40 22 39 And [1161] the second [1208] is like [3664] unto it [846] [3778], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572]. 40 22 40 On [1722] these [5025] two [1417] commandments [1785] hang [2910] all [3650] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396]. 40 22 41 While [1161] the Pharisees [5330] were gathered together [4863], Jesus [2424] asked [1905] them [846], 40 22 42 Saying [3004], What [5101] think [1380] ye [5213] of [4012] Christ [5547]? whose [5101] son [5207] is he [2076]? They say [3004] unto him [846], The Son of David [1138]. 40 22 43 He saith [3004] unto them [846], How [4459] then [3767] doth David [1138] in [1722] spirit [4151] call [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], saying [3004], 40 22 44 The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]? 40 22 45 If [1487] David [1138] then [3767] call [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], how [4459] is he [2076] his [846] son [5207]? 40 22 46 And [2532] no man [3762] was able [1410] to answer [611] him [846] a word [3056], neither [3761] durst [5111] any [5100] man from [575] that [1565] day [2250] forth ask [1905] him [846] any more [3765] questions. 40 23 1 Then [5119] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] to the multitude [3793], and [2532] to his [846] disciples [3101], 40 23 2 Saying [3004], The scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] sit [2523] in [1909] Moses [3475]' seat [2515]: 40 23 3 All [3956] therefore [3767] whatsoever [302] [3745] they bid [2036] you [5213] observe [5083], that observe [5083] and [2532] do [4160]; but [1161] do [4160] not [3361] ye after [2596] their [846] works [2041]: for [1063] they say [3004], and [2532] do [4160] not [3756]. 40 23 4 For [1063] they bind [1195] heavy [926] burdens [5413] and [2532] grievous to be borne [1419], and [2532] lay [2007] them on [1909] men's [444] shoulders [5606]; but [1161] they themselves will [2309] not [3756] move [2795] them [846] with one of their [846] fingers [1147]. 40 23 5 But [1161] all [3956] their [846] works [2041] they do [4160] for [4314] to be seen [2300] of men [444]: [1161] they make broad [4115] their [846] phylacteries [5440], and [2532] enlarge [3170] the borders [2899] of their [846] garments [2440], 40 23 6 And [5037] love [5368] the uppermost rooms [4411] at [1722] feasts [1173], and [2532] the chief seats [4410] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], 40 23 7 And [2532] greetings [783] in [1722] the markets [58], and [2532] to be called [2564] of [5259] men [444], Rabbi [4461], Rabbi [4461]. 40 23 8 But [1161] be [2564] not [3361] ye [5210] called [2564] Rabbi [4461]: for [1063] one [1520] is [2076] your [5216] Master [2519], even Christ [5547]; and [1161] all [3956] ye [5210] are [2075] brethren [80]. 40 23 9 And [2532] call [2564] no [3361] man your [5216] father [3962] upon [1909] the earth [1093]: for [1063] one [1520] is [2076] your [5216] Father [3962], which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772]. 40 23 10 Neither [3366] be ye called [2564] masters [2519]: for [1063] one [1520] is [2076] your [5216] Master [2519], even Christ [5547]. 40 23 11 But [1161] he that is greatest [3187] among you [5216] shall be [2071] your [5216] servant [1249]. 40 23 12 And [1161] whosoever [3748] shall exalt [5312] himself [1438] shall be abased [5013]; and [2532] he [3748] that shall humble [5013] himself [1438] shall be exalted [5312]. 40 23 13 But [1161] woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye shut up [2808] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] against [1715] men [444]: for [1063] ye [5210] neither [3761] go in [1525] yourselves, neither [3756] suffer ye [863] them that are entering [1525] to go in [1525]. 40 23 14 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye devour [2719] widows [5503]' houses [3614], and [2532] for a pretence [4392] make [4336] long [3117] prayer [4336]: therefore [1223] [5124] ye shall receive [2983] the greater [4055] damnation [2917]. 40 23 15 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye compass [4013] sea [2281] and [2532] land [3584] to make [4160] one [1520] proselyte [4339], and [2532] when [3752] he is made [1096], ye make [4160] him [846] twofold more [1362] the child [5207] of hell [1067] than yourselves [5216]. 40 23 16 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], ye blind [5185] guides [3595], which [3588] say [3004], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the temple [3485], it is [2076] nothing [3762]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the gold [5557] of the temple [3485], he is a debtor [3784] ! 40 23 17 Ye fools [3474] and [2532] blind [5185]: for [1063] whether [5101] is [2076] greater [3187], the gold [5557], or [2228] the temple [3485] that sanctifieth [37] the gold [5557]? 40 23 18 And [2532], Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the altar [2379], it is [2076] nothing [3762]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] sweareth [3660] by [1722] the gift [1435] that is upon [1883] it [846], he is guilty [3784]. 40 23 19 Ye fools [3474] and [2532] blind [5185]: for [1063] whether [5101] is greater [3187], the gift [1435], or [2228] the altar [2379] that sanctifieth [37] the gift [1435]? 40 23 20 Whoso therefore [3767] shall swear [3660] by [1722] the altar [2379], sweareth [3660] by [1722] it [846], and [2532] by [1722] all things [3956] thereon [1883] [846]. 40 23 21 And [2532] whoso shall swear [3660] by [1722] the temple [3485], sweareth [3660] by [1722] it [846], and [2532] by [1722] him that dwelleth [2730] therein [846]. 40 23 22 And [2532] he that shall swear [3660] by [1722] heaven [3772], sweareth [3660] by [1722] the throne [2362] of God [2316], and [2532] by [1722] him that sitteth [2521] thereon [1883] [846]. 40 23 23 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye pay tithe [586] of mint [2238] and [2532] anise [432] and [2532] cummin [2951], and [2532] have omitted [863] the weightier [926] matters of the law [3551], judgment [2920], [2532] mercy [1656], and [2532] faith [4102]: these [5023] ought ye [1163] to have done [4160], and not [3361] to leave [863] the other [2548] undone [863]. 40 23 24 Ye blind [5185] guides [3595], which strain at [1368] a gnat [2971], and [1161] swallow [2666] a camel [2574]. 40 23 25 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye make clean [2511] the outside [1855] of the cup [4221] and [2532] of the platter [3953], but [1161] within [2081] they are full [1073] of [1537] extortion [724] and [2532] excess [192]. 40 23 26 Thou blind [5185] Pharisee [5330], cleanse [2511] first [4412] that which is within [1787] the cup [4221] and [2532] platter [3953], that [2443] the outside [1622] of them [846] may be [1096] clean [2513] also [2532]. 40 23 27 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye are like [3945] unto whited [2867] sepulchres [5028], which [3748] indeed [3303] appear [5316] beautiful [5611] outward [1855], but [1161] are within [2081] full [1073] of dead [3498] men's bones [3747], and [2532] of all [3956] uncleanness [167]. 40 23 28 Even so [3779] ye [5210] also [2532] [3303] outwardly [1855] appear [5316] righteous [1342] unto men [444], but [1161] within [2081] ye are [2075] full [3324] of hypocrisy [5272] and [2532] iniquity [458]. 40 23 29 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! because [3754] ye build [3618] the tombs [5028] of the prophets [4396], and [2532] garnish [2885] the sepulchres [3419] of the righteous [1342], 40 23 30 And [2532] say [3004], If [1487] we had been [2258] in [1722] the days [2250] of our [2257] fathers [3962], we would [302] not [3756] have been [2258] partakers [2844] with them [846] in [1722] the blood [129] of the prophets [4396]. 40 23 31 Wherefore [5620] ye be witnesses [3140] unto yourselves [1438], that [3754] ye are [2075] the children [5207] of them which killed [5407] the prophets [4396]. 40 23 32 Fill [4137] ye [5210] up [4137] then [2532] the measure [3358] of your [5216] fathers [3962]. 40 23 33 Ye serpents [3789], ye generation [1081] of vipers [2191], how [4459] can ye [5343] escape [575] the damnation [2920] of hell [1067]? 40 23 34 Wherefore [1223] [5124], behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] unto [4314] you [5209] prophets [4396], and [2532] wise men [4680], and [2532] scribes [1122]: and [2532] some of [1537] them [846] ye shall kill [615] and [2532] crucify [4717]; and [2532] some of [1537] them [846] shall ye scourge [3146] in [1722] your [5216] synagogues [4864], and [2532] persecute [1377] them from [575] city [4172] to [1519] city [4172]: 40 23 35 That [3704] upon [1909] you [5209] may come [2064] all [3956] the righteous [1342] blood [129] shed [1632] upon [1909] the earth [1093], from [575] the blood [129] of righteous [1342] Abel [6] unto [2193] the blood [129] of Zacharias [2197] son [5207] of Barachias [914], whom [3739] ye slew [5407] between [3342] the temple [3485] and [2532] the altar [2379]. 40 23 36 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], All [3956] these things [5023] shall come [2240] upon [1909] this [5026] generation [1074]. 40 23 37 O Jerusalem [2419], Jerusalem [2419], thou that killest [615] the prophets [4396], and [2532] stonest [3036] them which are sent [649] unto [4314] thee [846], how often [4212] would I [2309] have gathered [1996] thy [4675] [3739] children [5043] together [1996], even as [5158] a hen [3733] gathereth [1996] her [1438] chickens [3556] under [5259] her wings [4420], and [2532] ye would [2309] not [3756]! 40 23 38 Behold [2400], your [5216] house [3624] is left [863] unto you [5213] desolate [2048]. 40 23 39 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ye shall [1492] not [3364] see [1492] me [3165] henceforth [575] [737], till [2193] [302] ye shall say [2036], Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. 40 24 1 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went out [1831], and departed [4198] from [575] the temple [2411]: and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him for to shew [1925] him [846] the buildings [3619] of the temple [2411]. 40 24 2 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], See ye [991] not [3756] all [3956] these things [5023]? verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], There shall [863] not [3364] be left [863] here [5602] one stone [3037] upon [1909] another [3037], that [3739] shall [2647] not [3364] be thrown down [2647]. 40 24 3 And [1161] as he [846] sat [2521] upon [1909] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], the disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846] privately [2596] [2398], saying [3004], Tell [2036] us [2254], when [4219] shall [2071] these things [5023] be [2071]? and [2532] what [5101] shall be the sign [4592] of thy [4674] coming [3952], and [2532] of the end [4930] of the world [165]? 40 24 4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Take heed [991] that no [3361] man [5100] deceive [4105] you [5209]. 40 24 5 For [1063] many [4183] shall come [2064] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] Christ [5547]; and [2532] shall deceive [4105] many [4183]. 40 24 6 And [1161] ye shall [3195] hear [191] of wars [4171] and [2532] rumours [189] of wars [4171]: see [3708] that ye be [2360] not [3361] troubled [2360]: for [1063] all [3956] these things must [1163] come to pass [1096], but [235] the end [5056] is [2076] not yet [3768]. 40 24 7 For [1063] nation [1484] shall rise [1453] against [1909] nation [1484], and [2532] kingdom [932] against [1909] kingdom [932]: and [2532] there shall be [2071] famines [3042], and [2532] pestilences [3061], and [2532] earthquakes [4578], in divers [2596] places [5117]. 40 24 8 All [1161] [3956] these [5023] are the beginning [746] of sorrows [5604]. 40 24 9 Then [5119] shall they deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860] to [1519] be afflicted [2347], and [2532] shall kill [615] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] hated [3404] of [5259] all [3956] nations [1484] for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [3686]. 40 24 10 And [2532] then [5119] shall many [4183] be offended [4624], and [2532] shall betray [3860] one another [240], and [2532] shall hate [3404] one another [240]. 40 24 11 And [2532] many [4183] false prophets [5578] shall rise [1453], and [2532] shall deceive [4105] many [4183]. 40 24 12 And [2532] because [1223] iniquity [458] shall abound [4129], the love [26] of many [4183] shall wax cold [5594]. 40 24 13 But [1161] he that shall endure [5278] unto [1519] the end [5056], the same [3778] shall be saved [4982]. 40 24 14 And [2532] this [5124] gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932] shall be preached [2784] in [1722] all [3650] the world [3625] for [1519] a witness [3142] unto all [3956] nations [1484]; and [2532] then [5119] shall the end [5056] come [2240]. 40 24 15 When [3752] ye therefore [3767] shall see [1492] the abomination [946] of desolation [2050], spoken of [4483] by [1223] Daniel [1158] the prophet [4396], stand [2476] [2476] in [1722] the holy [40] place [5117], (whoso readeth [314], let him understand [3539] 40 24 16 Then [5119] let them which be in [1722] Judaea [2449] flee [5343] into [1909] the mountains [3735]: 40 24 17 Let him which is on [1909] the housetop [1430] not [3361] come down [2597] to take [142] any thing [5100] out of [1537] his [846] house [3614]: 40 24 18 [2532] Neither [3361] let him which is in [1722] the field [68] return [1994] back [3694] to take [142] his [846] clothes [2440]. 40 24 19 And [1161] woe [3759] unto them that are [2192] with [1722] child [1064], and [2532] to them that give suck [2337] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250]! 40 24 20 But [1161] pray ye [4336] that [3363] your [5216] flight [5437] be [1096] not [3363] in the winter [5494], neither [3366] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]: 40 24 21 For [1063] then [5119] shall be [2071] great [3173] tribulation [2347], such as [3634] was [1096] not [3756] since [575] the beginning [746] of the world [2889] to this [2193] time [3568], no [3761], nor ever [3364] shall be [1096]. 40 24 22 And [2532] except [1508] those [1565] days [2250] should be shortened [2856], there [3756] should [302] no [3956] flesh [4561] be saved [4982]: but [1161] for [1223] the elect's sake [1588] those [1565] days [2250] shall be shortened [2856]. 40 24 23 Then [5119] if [1437] any man [5100] shall say [2036] unto you [5213], Lo [2400], here [5602] is Christ [5547], or [2228] there [5602]; believe [4100] it not [3361]. 40 24 24 For [1063] there shall arise [1453] false Christs [5580], and [2532] false prophets [5578], and [2532] shall shew [1325] great [3173] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059]; insomuch that [5620], if [1487] it were possible [1415], they shall deceive [4105] the very [2532] elect [1588]. 40 24 25 Behold [2400], I have told [4280] you [5213] before [4280]. 40 24 26 Wherefore [3767] if [1437] they shall say [2036] unto you [5213], Behold [2400], he is [2076] in [1722] the desert [2048]; go [1831] not [3361] forth [1831]: behold [2400], he is in [1722] the secret chambers [5009]; believe [4100] it not [3361]. 40 24 27 For [1063] as [5618] the lightning [796] cometh [1831] out of [575] the east [395], and [2532] shineth [5316] even unto [2193] the west [1424]; so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071]. 40 24 28 For [1063] wheresoever [1437] [3699] the carcase [4430] is [5600], there [1563] will [4863] the eagles [105] be gathered together [4863]. 40 24 29 Immediately [1161] [2112] after [3326] the tribulation [2347] of those [1565] days [2250] shall the sun [2246] be darkened [4654], and [2532] the moon [4582] shall [1325] not [3756] give [1325] her [846] light [5338], and [2532] the stars [792] shall fall [4098] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] the powers [1411] of the heavens [3772] shall be shaken [4531]: 40 24 30 And [2532] then [5119] shall appear [5316] the sign [4592] of the Son [5207] of man [444] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] then [5119] shall [2875] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the earth [1093] mourn [2875], and [2532] they shall see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1909] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772] with [3326] power [1411] and [2532] great [4183] glory [1391]. 40 24 31 And [2532] he shall send [649] his [846] angels [32] with [3326] a great [3173] sound [5456] of a trumpet [4536], and [2532] they shall gather together [1996] his [846] elect [1588] from [1537] the four [5064] winds [417], from [575] one end [206] of heaven [3772] to [2193] the other [206] [846]. 40 24 32 Now [1161] learn [3129] a parable [3850] of [575] the fig tree [4808]; When [3752] his [846] branch [2798] is [1096] yet [2235] tender [527], and [2532] putteth forth [1631] leaves [5444], ye know [1097] that [3754] summer [2330] is nigh [1451]: 40 24 33 So [3779] likewise [2532] ye [5210], when [3752] ye shall see [1492] all [3956] these things [5023], know [1097] that [3754] it is [2076] near [1451], even at [1909] the doors [2374]. 40 24 34 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], This [3778] generation [1074] shall not [3364] pass [3928], till [302] [2193] all [3956] these things [5023] be fulfilled [1096]. 40 24 35 Heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] shall pass away [3928], but [1161] my [3450] words [3056] shall [3928] not [3364] pass away [3928]. 40 24 36 But [1161] of [4012] that [1565] day [2250] and [2532] hour [5610] knoweth [1492] no [3762] man, no, not [3761] the angels [32] of heaven [3772], but [1508] my [3450] Father [3962] only [3441]. 40 24 37 But [1161] as [5618] the days [2250] of Noe [3575] were, so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071]. 40 24 38 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] the days [2250] that were [2258] before [4253] the flood [2627] they were eating [5176] and [2532] drinking [4095], marrying [1060] and [2532] giving in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787], 40 24 39 And [2532] knew [1097] not [3756] until [2193] the flood [2627] came [2064], and [2532] took [142] them all [537] away [142]; so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071]. 40 24 40 Then [5119] shall [2071] two [1417] be [2071] in [1722] the field [68]; the one [1520] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [1520] left [863]. 40 24 41 Two [1417] women shall be grinding [229] at [1722] the mill [3459]; the one [3391] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [3391] left [863]. 40 24 42 Watch [1127] therefore [3767]: for [3754] ye know [1492] not [3756] what [4169] hour [5610] your [5216] Lord [2962] doth come [2064]. 40 24 43 But [1161] know [1097] this [1565], that [3754] if [1487] the goodman of the house [3617] had known [1492] in what [4169] watch [5438] the thief [2812] would come [2064], he would [302] have watched [1127], and [2532] would [302] not [3756] have suffered [1439] his [846] house [3614] to be broken up [1358]. 40 24 44 Therefore [1223] [5124] be [1096] ye [5210] also [2532] ready [2092]: for [3754] in such [3739] an hour [5610] as ye think [1380] not [3756] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064]. 40 24 45 Who [5101] then [686] is [2076] a faithful [4103] and [2532] wise [5429] servant [1401], whom [3739] his [846] lord [2962] hath made ruler [2525] over [1909] his [846] household [2322], to give [1325] them [846] meat [5160] in [1722] due season [2540]? 40 24 46 Blessed [3107] is that [1565] servant [1401], whom [3739] his [846] lord [2962] when he cometh [2064] shall find [2147] so [3779] doing [4160]. 40 24 47 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] he shall make [2525] him [846] ruler [2525] over [1909] all [3956] his [846] goods [5224]. 40 24 48 But and [1161] if [1437] that [1565] evil [2556] servant [1401] shall say [2036] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588], My [3450] lord [2962] delayeth [5549] his coming [2064]; 40 24 49 And [2532] shall begin [756] to smite [5180] his fellowservants [4889], and [1161] to eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095] with [3326] the drunken [3184]; 40 24 50 The lord [2962] of that [1565] servant [1401] shall come [2240] in [1722] a day [2250] when [3739] he looketh [4328] not [3756] for him, and [2532] in [1722] an hour [5610] that [3739] he is [1097] not [3756] aware of [1097], 40 24 51 And [2532] shall cut [1371] him [846] asunder [1371], and [2532] appoint [5087] him his [846] portion [3313] with [3326] the hypocrites [5273]: there [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 25 1 Then [5119] shall the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] be likened [3666] unto ten [1176] virgins [3933], which [3748] took [2983] their [846] lamps [2985], and went forth [1831] to meet [529] [1519] the bridegroom [3566]. 40 25 2 And [1161] five [4002] of [1537] them [846] were [2258] wise [5429], and [2532] five [4002] were foolish [3474]. 40 25 3 They [3748] that were foolish [3474] took [2983] their [846] [1438] lamps [2985], and took [2983] no [3756] oil [1637] with [3326] them [1438]: 40 25 4 But [1161] the wise [5429] took [2983] oil [1637] in [1722] their [846] vessels [30] with [3326] their [846] lamps [2985]. 40 25 5 While [1161] the bridegroom [3566] tarried [5549], they all [3956] slumbered [3573] and [2532] slept [2518]. 40 25 6 And [1161] at midnight [3319] [3571] there was a cry [2906] made [1096], Behold [2400], the bridegroom [3566] cometh [2064]; go ye out [1831] to [1519] meet [529] him [846]. 40 25 7 Then [5119] all [3956] those [1565] virgins [3933] arose [1453], and [2532] trimmed [2885] their [846] lamps [2985]. 40 25 8 And [1161] the foolish [3474] said [2036] unto the wise [5429], Give [1325] us [2254] of [1537] your [5216] oil [1637]; for [3754] our [2257] lamps [2985] are gone out [4570]. 40 25 9 But [1161] the wise [5429] answered [611], saying [3004], Not so; lest [3379] there be [714] not [3756] enough [714] for us [2254] and [2532] you [5213]: but [1161] go ye [4198] rather [3123] to them [4314] that sell [4453], and [2532] buy [59] for yourselves [1438]. 40 25 10 And [1161] while they [846] went [565] to buy [59], the bridegroom [3566] came [2064]; and [2532] they that were ready [2092] went in [1525] with [3326] him [846] to [1519] the marriage [1062]: and [2532] the door [2374] was shut [2808]. 40 25 11 Afterward [1161] [5305] came [2064] also [2532] the other [3062] virgins [3933], saying [3004], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], open [455] to us [2254]. 40 25 12 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], I know [1492] you [5209] not [3756]. 40 25 13 Watch [1127] therefore [3767], for [3754] ye know [1492] neither [3756] the day [2250] nor [3761] the hour [5610] wherein [1722] [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064]. 40 25 14 For [1063] the kingdom of heaven is as [5618] a man [444] travelling into a far country [589], who called [2564] his own [2398] servants [1401], and [2532] delivered [3860] unto them [846] his [846] goods [5224]. 40 25 15 And [2532] unto one [3739] [3303] he gave [1325] five [4002] talents [5007], [1161] to another [3739] two [1417], and [1161] to another [3739] one [1520]; to every man [1538] according [2596] to his several [2398] ability [1411]; and [2532] straightway [2112] took his journey [589]. 40 25 16 Then [1161] he that had received [2983] the five [4002] talents [5007] went [4198] and traded [2038] with [1722] the same [846], and [2532] made [4160] them other [243] five [4002] talents [5007]. 40 25 17 And [2532] likewise [5615] he that had received [3588] two [1417], he [846] also [2532] gained [2770] other [243] two [1417]. 40 25 18 But [1161] he that had received [2983] one [1520] went [565] and digged [3736] in [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] hid [613] his [846] lord's [2962] money [694]. 40 25 19 After [1161] [3326] a long [4183] time [5550] the lord [2962] of those [1565] servants [1401] cometh [2064], and [2532] reckoneth [4868] [3056] with [3326] them [846]. 40 25 20 And so [2532] he that had received [2983] five [4002] talents [5007] came [4334] and brought [4374] other [243] five [4002] talents [5007], saying [3004], Lord [2962], thou deliveredst [3860] unto me [3427] five [4002] talents [5007]: behold [2396], I have gained [2770] beside [1909] them [846] five [4002] talents [5007] more [243]. 40 25 21 [1161] His [846] lord [2962] said [5346] unto him [846], Well done [2095], thou good [18] and [2532] faithful [4103] servant [1401]: thou hast been [2258] faithful [4103] over [1909] a few things [3641], I will make [2525] thee [4571] ruler [2525] over [1909] many things [4183]: enter thou [1525] into [1519] the joy [5479] of thy [4675] lord [2962]. 40 25 22 [1161] He also [2532] that had received [2983] two [1417] talents [5007] came [4334] and said [2036], Lord [2962], thou deliveredst [3860] unto me [3427] two [1417] talents [5007]: behold [2396], I have gained [2770] two [1417] other [243] talents [5007] beside [1909] them [846]. 40 25 23 His [846] lord [2962] said [5346] unto him [846], Well done [2095], good [18] and [2532] faithful [4103] servant [1401]; thou hast been [2258] faithful [4103] over [1909] a few things [3641], I will make [2525] thee [4571] ruler [2525] over [1909] many things [4183]: enter thou [1525] into [1519] the joy [5479] of thy [4675] lord [2962]. 40 25 24 Then [1161] [2532] he which had received [2983] the one [1520] talent [5007] came [4334] and said [2036], Lord [2962], I knew [1097] thee [4571] that [3754] thou art [1488] an hard [4642] man [444], reaping [2325] where [3699] thou hast [4687] not [3756] sown [4687], and [2532] gathering [4863] where [3606] thou hast [1287] not [3756] strawed [1287]: 40 25 25 And [2532] I was afraid [5399], and went [565] and hid [2928] thy [4675] talent [5007] in [1722] the earth [1093]: lo [2396], there thou hast [2192] that is thine [4674]. 40 25 26 [1161] His [846] lord [2962] answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], Thou wicked [4190] and [2532] slothful [3636] servant [1401], thou knewest [1492] that [3754] I reap [2325] where [3699] I sowed [4687] not [3756], and [2532] gather [4863] where [3606] I have [1287] not [3756] strawed [1287]: 40 25 27 Thou [4571] oughtest [1163] therefore [3767] to have put [906] my [3450] money [694] to the exchangers [5133], and [2532] then at my coming [2064] I [1473] should [302] have received [2865] mine own [1699] with [4862] usury [5110]. 40 25 28 Take [142] therefore [3767] the talent [5007] from [575] him [846], and [2532] give [1325] it unto him which hath [2192] ten [1176] talents [5007]. 40 25 29 For [1063] unto every one [3956] that hath [2192] shall be given [1325], and [2532] he shall have abundance [4052]: but [1161] from [575] him [846] that hath [2192] not [3361] shall be taken away [142] [575] even [2532] that which [3739] he hath [2192]. 40 25 30 And [2532] cast ye [1544] the unprofitable [888] servant [1401] into [1519] outer [1857] darkness [4655]: there [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599]. 40 25 31 When [1161] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall come [2064] in [1722] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] all [3956] the holy [40] angels [32] with [3326] him [846], then [5119] shall he sit [2523] upon [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391]: 40 25 32 And [2532] before [1715] him [846] shall be gathered [4863] all [3956] nations [1484]: and [2532] he shall separate [873] them [846] one [240] from [575] another [240], as [5618] a shepherd [4166] divideth [873] his sheep [4263] from [575] the goats [2056]: 40 25 33 And [2532] he shall set [2476] [3303] the sheep [4263] on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], but [1161] the goats [2055] on [1537] the left [2176]. 40 25 34 Then [5119] shall the King [935] say [2046] unto them on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], Come [1205], ye blessed [2127] of my [3450] Father [3962], inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] prepared [2090] for you [5213] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: 40 25 35 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] drink [4222]: I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] in [4863]: 40 25 36 Naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165]: I was sick [770], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165]: I was [2252] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165]. 40 25 37 Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], and [2532] fed [5142] thee? or [2228] thirsty [1372], and [2532] gave thee drink [4222]? 40 25 38 [1161] When [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] a stranger [3581], and [2532] took thee in [4863]? or [2228] naked [1131], and [2532] clothed [4016] thee? 40 25 39 [1161] Or when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571]? 40 25 40 And [2532] the King [935] shall answer [611] and say [2046] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye have done [4160] it unto one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130] my [3450] brethren [80], ye have done [4160] it unto me [1698]. 40 25 41 Then [5119] shall he say [2046] also [2532] unto them on [1537] the left hand [2176], Depart [4198] from [575] me [1700], ye cursed [2672], into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442], prepared [2090] for the devil [1228] and [2532] his [846] angels [32]: 40 25 42 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] no [3756] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] no [3756] drink [4222]: 40 25 43 I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] not [3756] in [4863]: naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165] not [3756]: sick [772], and [2532] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165] not [3756]. 40 25 44 Then [5119] shall they [846] also [2532] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], or [2228] athirst [1372], or [2228] a stranger [3581], or [2228] naked [1131], or [2228] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] did [1247] not [3756] minister [1247] unto thee [4671]? 40 25 45 Then [5119] shall he answer [611] them [846], saying [3004], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye did [4160] it not [3756] to one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130], ye did [4160] it not [3761] to me [1698]. 40 25 46 And [2532] these [3778] shall go away [565] into [1519] everlasting [166] punishment [2851]: but [1161] the righteous [1342] into [1519] life [2222] eternal [166]. 40 26 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when [3753] Jesus [2424] had finished [5055] all [3956] these [5128] sayings [3056], he said [2036] unto his [846] disciples [3101], 40 26 2 Ye know [1492] that [3754] after [3326] two [1417] days [2250] is [1096] the feast of the passover [3957], and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] to [1519] be crucified [4717]. 40 26 3 Then [5119] assembled together [4863] the chief priests [749], and [2532] the scribes [1122], and [2532] the elders [4245] of the people [2992], unto [1519] the palace [833] of the high priest [749], who [3588] was called [3004] Caiaphas [2533], 40 26 4 And [2532] consulted [4823] that [2443] they might take [2902] Jesus [2424] by subtilty [1388], and [2532] kill [615] him. 40 26 5 But [1161] they said [3004], Not [3361] on [1722] the feast [1859] day, lest [3363] there be [1096] an uproar [2351] among [1722] the people [2992]. 40 26 6 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] was [1096] in [1722] Bethany [963], in [1722] the house [3614] of Simon [4613] the leper [3015], 40 26 7 There came [4334] unto him [846] a woman [1135] having [2192] an alabaster box [211] of very precious [927] ointment [3464], and [2532] poured it [2708] on [1909] his [846] head [2776], as he sat [345] at meat. 40 26 8 But [1161] when his [846] disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they had indignation [23], saying [3004], To [1519] what purpose [5101] is this [3778] waste [684]? 40 26 9 For [1063] this [5124] ointment [3464] might [1410] have been sold [4097] for much [4183], and [2532] given [1325] to the poor [4434]. 40 26 10 When [1161] Jesus [2424] understood [1097] it, he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] trouble ye [2873] [3930] the woman [1135]? for [1063] she hath wrought [2038] a good [2570] work [2041] upon [1519] me [1691]. 40 26 11 For [1063] ye have [2192] the poor [4434] always [3842] with [3326] you [1438]; but [1161] me [1691] ye have [2192] not [3756] always [3842]. 40 26 12 For in that [1063] she [3778] [846] hath poured [906] this [5124] ointment [3464] on [1909] my [3450] body [4983], she did [4160] it for [4314] my [3165] burial [1779]. 40 26 13 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Wheresoever [3699] [1437] this [5124] gospel [2098] shall be preached [2784] in [1722] the whole [3650] world [2889], there shall also [2532] this, that [3739] this woman [3778] [846] hath done [4160], be told [2980] for [1519] a memorial [3422] of her [846]. 40 26 14 Then [5119] one [1520] of the twelve [1427], called [3004] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], went [4198] unto [4314] the chief priests [749], 40 26 15 And said [2036] unto them, What [5101] will ye [2309] give [1325] me [3427], and [2504] I will deliver [3860] him [846] unto you [5213]? And [1161] they covenanted [2476] with him [846] for thirty [5144] pieces of silver [694]. 40 26 16 And [2532] from [575] that time [5119] he sought [2212] opportunity [2120] to [2443] betray [3860] him [846]. 40 26 17 Now [1161] the first [4413] day of the feast of unleavened bread [106] the disciples [3101] came [4334] to Jesus [2424], saying [3004] unto him [846], Where [4226] wilt thou [2309] that we prepare [2090] for thee [4671] to eat [5315] the passover [3957]? 40 26 18 And [1161] he said [2036], Go [5217] into [1519] the city [4172] to [4314] such a man [1170], and [2532] say [2036] unto him [846], The Master [1320] saith [3004], My [3450] time [2540] is [2076] at hand [1451]; I will keep [4160] the passover [3957] at [4314] thy house [4571] with [3326] my [3450] disciples [3101]. 40 26 19 And [2532] the disciples [3101] did [4160] as [5613] Jesus [2424] had appointed [4929] them [846]; and [2532] they made ready [2090] the passover [3957]. 40 26 20 Now [1161] when the even [3798] was come [1096], he sat down [345] with [3326] the twelve [1427]. 40 26 21 And [2532] as they [846] did eat [2068], he said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] one [1520] of [1537] you [5216] shall betray [3860] me [3165]. 40 26 22 And [2532] they were exceeding [4970] sorrowful [3076], and began [756] every one [1538] of them [846] to say [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], is [1510] it [3385] I [1473]? 40 26 23 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], He that dippeth [1686] his hand [5495] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] the dish [5165], the same [3778] shall betray [3860] me [3165]. 40 26 24 [3303] The Son [5207] of man [444] goeth [5217] as [2531] it is written [1125] of [4012] him [846]: but [1161] woe [3759] unto that [1565] man [444] by [1223] whom [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] ! it had been [2258] good [2570] for that [1565] man [846] if [1487] he [444] had [1080] not [3756] been born [1080]. 40 26 25 Then [1161] Judas [2455], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], answered [611] and said [2036], Master [4461], is [1510] it [3385] I [1473]? He said [3004] unto him [846], Thou [4771] hast said [2036]. 40 26 26 And [1161] as they [846] were eating [2068], Jesus [2424] took [2983] bread [740], and [2532] blessed [2127] it, and brake [2806] it, and [2532] gave [1325] it to the disciples [3101], and [2532] said [2036], Take [2983], eat [5315]; this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] body [4983]. 40 26 27 And [2532] he took [2983] the cup [4221], and [2532] gave thanks [2168], and gave [1325] it to them [846], saying [3004], Drink ye [4095] all [3956] of [1537] it [846]; 40 26 28 For [1063] this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] blood [129] of the new [2537] testament [1242], which [3588] is shed [1632] for [4012] many [4183] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266]. 40 26 29 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], I will [4095] not [3754] [3364] drink [4095] henceforth [575] [737] of [1537] this [5127] fruit [1081] of the vine [288], until [2193] that [1565] day [2250] when [3752] I drink [4095] it [846] new [2537] with [3326] you [5216] in [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] kingdom [932]. 40 26 30 And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636]. 40 26 31 Then [5119] saith [3004] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], All [3956] ye [5210] shall be offended [4624] because [1722] of me [1722] [1698] this [5026] night [3571]: for [1063] it is written [1125], I will smite [3960] the shepherd [4166], and [2532] the sheep [4263] of the flock [4167] shall be scattered abroad [1287]. 40 26 32 But [1161] after [3326] I [3165] am risen again [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]. 40 26 33 Peter [4074] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto him [846], Though [1499] all [3956] men shall be offended [4624] because [1722] of thee [4671], yet will I [1473] never [3763] be offended [4624]. 40 26 34 Jesus [2424] said [5346] unto him [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], That [3754] this [1722] [5026] night [3571], before [4250] the cock [220] crow [5455], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. 40 26 35 Peter [4074] said [3004] unto him [846], Though [2579] I [3165] should [1163] die [599] with [4862] thee [4671], yet [3364] will I [533] not [3364] deny [533] thee [4571]. Likewise [3668] also [2532] said [2036] all [3956] the disciples [3101]. 40 26 36 Then [5119] cometh [2064] Jesus [2424] with [3326] them [846] unto [1519] a place [5564] called [3004] Gethsemane [1068], and [2532] saith [3004] unto the disciples [3101], Sit ye [2523] here [847], while [2193] [3739] I go [565] and pray [4336] yonder [1563]. 40 26 37 And [2532] he took with him [3880] Peter [4074] and [2532] the two [1417] sons [5207] of Zebedee [2199], and began [756] to be sorrowful [3076] and [2532] very heavy [85]. 40 26 38 Then [5119] saith he [3004] unto them [846], My [3450] soul [5590] is [2076] exceeding sorrowful [4036], even unto [2193] death [2288]: tarry ye [3306] here [5602], and [2532] watch [1127] with [3326] me [1700]. 40 26 39 And [2532] he went [4281] a little [3397] further [4281], and fell [4098] on [1909] his [846] face [4383], and [2532] prayed [4336], saying [3004], O my [3450] Father [3962], if [1487] it be [2076] possible [1415], let [3928] this [5124] cup [4221] pass [3928] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [4133] not [3756] as [5613] I [1473] will [2309], but [235] as [5613] thou [4771] wilt. 40 26 40 And [2532] he cometh [2064] unto [4314] the disciples [3101], and [2532] findeth [2147] them [846] asleep [2518], and [2532] saith [3004] unto Peter [4074], What [3779], could ye [2480] not [3756] watch [1127] with [3326] me [1700] one [3391] hour [5610]? 40 26 41 Watch [1127] and [2532] pray [4336], that [3363] ye enter [1525] not [3363] into [1519] temptation [3986]: the spirit [4151] indeed [3303] is willing [4289], but [1161] the flesh [4561] is weak [772]. 40 26 42 He went away [565] again [3825] the [1537] second time [1208], and prayed [4336], saying [3004], O my [3450] Father [3962], if [1487] this [5124] cup [4221] may [1410] not [3756] pass away [3928] from [575] me [1700], except [3362] I drink [4095] it [846], thy [4675] will [2307] be done [1096]. 40 26 43 And [2532] he came [2064] and found [2147] them [846] asleep [2518] again [3825]: for [1063] their [846] eyes [3788] were [2258] heavy [916]. 40 26 44 And [2532] he left [863] them [846], and went away [565] again [3825], and prayed [4336] [1537] the third time [5154], saying [2036] the same [846] words [3056]. 40 26 45 Then [5119] cometh he [2064] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Sleep on [2518] now [3063], and [2532] take your rest [373]: behold [2400], the hour [5610] is at hand [1448], and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinners [268]. 40 26 46 Rise [1453], let us be going [71]: behold [2400], he is at hand [1448] that doth betray [3860] me [3165]. 40 26 47 And [2532] while [2089] he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], lo [2400], Judas [2455], one [1520] of the twelve [1427], came [2064], and [2532] with [3326] him [846] a great [4183] multitude [3793] with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] staves [3586], from [575] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] of the people [2992]. 40 26 48 Now [1161] he that betrayed [3860] him [846] gave [1325] them [846] a sign [4592], saying [3004], Whomsoever [3739] [302] I shall kiss [5368], that same [846] is [2076] he [846]: hold [2902] him [846] fast [2902]. 40 26 49 And [2532] forthwith [2112] he came [4334] to Jesus [2424], and said [2036], Hail [5463], master [4461]; and [2532] kissed [2705] him [846]. 40 26 50 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Friend [2083], wherefore [1909] [3739] art thou come [3918]? Then [5119] came they [4334], and laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] Jesus [2424], and [2532] took [2902] him [846]. 40 26 51 And [2532], behold [2400], one [1520] of them which were with [3326] Jesus [2424] stretched out [1614] his hand [5495], and drew [645] his [846] sword [3162], and [2532] struck [3960] a servant [1401] of the high priest's [749], and smote off [851] his [846] ear [5621]. 40 26 52 Then [5119] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Put up again [654] thy [4675] sword [3162] into [1519] his [846] place [5117]: for [1063] all they [3956] that take [2983] the sword [3162] shall perish [622] with [1722] the sword [3162]. 40 26 53 [2228] Thinkest thou [1380] that [3754] I cannot [3756] [1410] now [737] pray [3870] to my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] he shall presently give [3936] me [3427] more [4119] than [2228] twelve [1427] legions [3003] of angels [32]? 40 26 54 But how [4459] then [3767] shall the scriptures [1124] be fulfilled [4137], that [3754] thus [3779] it must [1163] be [1096]? 40 26 55 In [1722] that same [1565] hour [5610] said [2036] Jesus [2424] to the multitudes [3793], Are ye come out [1831] as [5613] against [1909] a thief [3027] with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] staves [3586] for to take [4815] me [3165]? I sat [2516] daily [2250] [2596] with [4314] you [5209] teaching [1321] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] ye laid [2902] no [3756] hold [2902] on me [3165]. 40 26 56 But [1161] all [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] the scriptures [1124] of the prophets [4396] might be fulfilled [4137]. Then [5119] all [3956] the disciples [3101] forsook [863] him [846], and fled [5343]. 40 26 57 And [1161] they that had laid hold [2902] on Jesus [2424] led him away [520] to [4314] Caiaphas [2533] the high priest [749], where [3699] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the elders [4245] were assembled [4863]. 40 26 58 But [1161] Peter [4074] followed [190] him [846] afar off [575] [3113] unto [2193] the high priest's [749] palace [833], and [2532] went [1525] in [2080], and sat [2521] with [3326] the servants [5257], to see [1492] the end [5056]. 40 26 59 Now [1161] the chief priests [749], and [2532] elders [4245], and [2532] all [3650] the council [4892], sought [2212] false witness [5577] against [2596] Jesus [2424], to [3704] put [2289] him [846] to death [2289]; 40 26 60 But [2532] found [2147] none [3756]: yea [2532], though many [4183] false witnesses [5575] came [4334], yet found they [2147] none [3756]. [1161] At the last [5305] came [4334] two [1417] false witnesses [5575], 40 26 61 And said [2036], This [3778] fellow said [5346], I am able [1410] to destroy [2647] the temple [3485] of God [2316], and [2532] to build [3618] it [846] in [1223] three [5140] days [2250]. 40 26 62 And [2532] the high priest [749] arose [450], and said [2036] unto him [846], Answerest thou [611] nothing [3762]? what [5101] is it which these [3778] witness against [2649] thee [4675]? 40 26 63 But [1161] Jesus [2424] held his peace [4623]. And [2532] the high priest [749] answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], I adjure [1844] thee [4571] by [2596] the living [2198] God [2316], that [2443] thou tell [2036] us [2254] whether [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 40 26 64 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thou [4771] hast said [2036]: nevertheless [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] shall ye see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] sitting [2521] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of power [1411], and [2532] coming [2064] in [1909] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772]. 40 26 65 Then [5119] the high priest [749] rent [1284] his [846] clothes [2440], saying [3004], [3754] He hath spoken blasphemy [987]; what [5101] further [2089] need [5532] have we [2192] of witnesses [3144]? behold [2396], now [3568] ye have heard [191] his [846] blasphemy [988]. 40 26 66 What [5101] think [1380] ye [5213]? They answered [611] and [1161] said [2036], He is [2076] guilty [1777] of death [2288]. 40 26 67 Then [5119] did they spit [1716] in [1519] his [846] face [4383], and [2532] buffeted [2852] him [846]; and [1161] others smote him with the palms of their hands [4474], 40 26 68 Saying [3004], Prophesy [4395] unto us [2254], thou Christ [5547], Who [5101] is he [2076] that smote [3817] thee [4571]? 40 26 69 Now [1161] Peter [4074] sat [2521] without [1854] in [1722] the palace [833]: and [2532] a [3391] damsel [3814] came [4334] unto him [846], saying [3004], Thou [4771] also [2532] wast [2258] with [3326] Jesus [2424] of Galilee [1057]. 40 26 70 But [1161] he denied [720] before [1715] them all [3956], saying [3004], I know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] thou sayest [3004]. 40 26 71 And [1161] when he [846] was gone out [1831] into [1519] the porch [4440], another [243] maid saw [1492] him [846], and [2532] said [3004] unto them that were there [1563], This [3778] fellow was [2258] also [2532] with [3326] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. 40 26 72 And [2532] again [3825] he denied [720] with [3326] an oath [3727], [3754] I do [1492] not [3756] know [1492] the man [444]. 40 26 73 And [1161] after [3326] a while [3397] came unto him they [4334] that stood by [2476], and said [2036] to Peter [4074], Surely [230] thou [4771] also [2532] art [1488] one of [1537] them [846]; for [1063] [2532] thy [4675] speech [2981] bewrayeth [1212] thee [4571] [4160]. 40 26 74 Then [5119] began he [756] to curse [2653] and [2532] to swear [3660], saying, [3754] I know [1492] not [3756] the man [444]. And [2532] immediately [2112] the cock [220] crew [5455]. 40 26 75 And [2532] Peter [4074] remembered [3415] the word [4487] of Jesus [2424], which [3588] said [2046] unto him [846], Before [3754] [4250] the cock [220] crow [5455], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. And [2532] he went out [1854], and [1831] wept [2799] bitterly [4090]. 40 27 1 When [1161] the morning [4405] was come [1096], all [3956] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] of the people [2992] took [2983] counsel [4824] against [2596] Jesus [2424] to [5620] put [2289] him [846] to death [2289]: 40 27 2 And [2532] when they had bound [1210] him [846], they led him away [520], and [2532] delivered [3860] him [846] to Pontius [4194] Pilate [4091] the governor [2232]. 40 27 3 Then [5119] Judas [2455], which [3588] had betrayed [3860] him [846], when he saw [1492] that [3754] he was condemned [2632], repented himself [3338], and brought again [654] the thirty [5144] pieces of silver [694] to the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245], 40 27 4 Saying [3004], I have sinned [264] in that I have betrayed [3860] the innocent [121] blood [129]. And [1161] they said [2036], What [5101] is that to [4314] us [2248]? see [3700] thou [4771] to that. 40 27 5 And [2532] he cast down [4496] the pieces of silver [694] in [1722] the temple [3485], and departed [402], and [2532] went [565] and hanged himself [519]. 40 27 6 And [1161] the chief priests [749] took [2983] the silver pieces [694], and said [2036], It is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for to put [906] them [846] into [1519] the treasury [2878], because [1893] it is [2076] the price [5092] of blood [129]. 40 27 7 And [1161] they took [2983] counsel [4824], and bought [59] with [1537] them [846] the potter's [2763] field [68], to [1519] bury [5027] strangers [3581] in [5027]. 40 27 8 Wherefore [1352] that [1565] field [68] was called [2564], The field [68] of blood [129], unto [2193] this day [4594]. 40 27 9 Then [5119] was fulfilled [4137] that which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [1223] Jeremy [2408] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], And [2532] they took [2983] the thirty [5144] pieces of silver [694], the price [5092] of him that was valued [5091], whom [3739] they of [575] the children [5207] of Israel [2474] did value [5091]; 40 27 10 And [2532] gave [1325] them [846] for [1519] the potter's [2763] field [68], as [2505] the Lord [2962] appointed [4929] me [3427]. 40 27 11 And [1161] Jesus [2424] stood [2476] before [1715] the governor [2232]: and [2532] the governor [2232] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Art [1488] thou [4771] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [5346] unto him [846], Thou [4771] sayest [3004]. 40 27 12 And [2532] when [1722] he [846] was accused [2723] of [5259] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245], he answered [611] nothing [3762]. 40 27 13 Then [5119] said [3004] Pilate [4091] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] not [3756] how many things [4214] they witness against [2649] thee [4675]? 40 27 14 And [2532] he answered [3756] [611] him [846] to [4314] never [3761] a [1520] word [4487]; insomuch [5620] that the governor [2232] marvelled [2296] greatly [3029]. 40 27 15 Now [1161] at [2596] that feast [1859] the governor [2232] was wont [1486] to release [630] unto the people [3793] a [1520] prisoner [1198], whom [3739] they would [2309]. 40 27 16 And [1161] they had [2192] then [5119] a notable [1978] prisoner [1198], called [3004] Barabbas [912]. 40 27 17 Therefore [3767] when they [846] were gathered together [4863], Pilate [4091] said [2036] unto them [846], Whom [5101] will ye [2309] that I release [630] unto you [5213]? Barabbas [912], or [2228] Jesus [2424] which [3588] is called [3004] Christ [5547]? 40 27 18 For [1063] he knew [1492] that [3754] for [1223] envy [5355] they had delivered [3860] him [846]. 40 27 19 When [1161] he [846] was set down [2521] on [1909] the judgment seat [968], his [846] wife [1135] sent [649] unto [4314] him [846], saying [3004], [2532] Have thou [4671] nothing [3367] to do with that [1565] just man [1342]: for [1063] I have suffered [3958] many things [4183] this day [4594] in [2596] a dream [3677] because [1223] of him [846]. 40 27 20 But [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] persuaded [3982] the multitude [3793] that [2443] they should ask [154] Barabbas [912], and [1161] destroy [622] Jesus [2424]. 40 27 21 The governor [2232] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Whether [5101] of [575] the twain [1417] will ye [2309] that I release [630] unto you [5213]? [1161] They said [2036], Barabbas [912]. 40 27 22 Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] shall I do [4160] then [3767] with Jesus [2424] which [3588] is called [3004] Christ [5547]? They all [3956] say [3004] unto him [846], Let him be crucified [4717]. 40 27 23 And [1161] the governor [2232] said [5346], Why [1063], what [5101] evil [2556] hath he done [4160]? But [1161] they cried out [2896] the more [4057], saying [3004], Let him be crucified [4717]. 40 27 24 When [1161] Pilate [4091] saw [1492] that [3754] he could prevail [5623] nothing [3762], but [235] that rather [3123] a tumult [2351] was made [1096], he took [2983] water [5204], and washed [633] his hands [5495] before [561] the multitude [3793], saying [3004], I am [1510] innocent [121] of [575] the blood [129] of this [5127] just person [1342]: see [3700] ye [5210] to it. 40 27 25 Then [2532] answered [611] all [3956] the people [2992], and said [2036], His [846] blood [129] be on [1909] us [2248], and [2532] on [1909] our [2257] children [5043]. 40 27 26 Then [5119] released he [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846]: and [1161] when he had scourged [5417] Jesus [2424], he delivered [3860] him to [2443] be crucified [4717]. 40 27 27 Then [5119] the soldiers [4757] of the governor [2232] took [3880] Jesus [2424] into [1519] the common hall [4232], and gathered [4863] unto [1909] him [846] the whole [3650] band [4686] of soldiers. 40 27 28 And [2532] they stripped [1562] him [846], and put on [4060] him [846] a scarlet [2847] robe [5511]. 40 27 29 And [2532] when they had platted [4120] a crown [4735] of [1537] thorns [173], they put [2007] it upon [1909] his [846] head [2776], and [2532] a reed [2563] in [1909] his [846] right hand [1188]: and [2532] they bowed the knee [1120] before [1715] him [846], and mocked [1702] him [846], saying [3004], Hail [5463], King [935] of the Jews [2453]! 40 27 30 And [2532] they spit [1716] upon [1519] him [846], and took [2983] the reed [2563], and [2532] smote [5180] him [846] on [1519] the head [2776]. 40 27 31 And [2532] after [3753] that they had mocked [1702] him [846], they took [1562] the robe [5511] off [1562] from him [846], and [2532] put [1746] his own [846] raiment [2440] on [1746] him [846], and [2532] led [520] him [846] away [520] to [1519] crucify [4717] him. 40 27 32 And [1161] as they came out [1831], they found [2147] a man [444] of Cyrene [2956], Simon [4613] by name [3686]: him [5126] they compelled [29] to [2443] bear [142] his [846] cross [4716]. 40 27 33 And [2532] when they were come [2064] unto [1519] a place [5117] called [3004] Golgotha [1115], that [3739] is [2076] to say [3004], a place [5117] of a skull [2898], 40 27 34 They gave [1325] him [846] vinegar [3690] to drink [4095] mingled [3396] with [3326] gall [5521]: and [2532] when he had tasted [1089] thereof, he would [2309] not [3756] drink [4095]. 40 27 35 And [1161] they crucified [4717] him [846], and parted [1266] his [846] garments [2440], casting [906] lots [2819]: that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] by [5259] the prophet [4396], They parted [1266] my [3450] garments [2440] among them [1438], and [2532] upon [1909] my [3450] vesture [2441] did they cast [906] lots [2819]. 40 27 36 And [2532] sitting down [2521] they watched [5083] him [846] there [1563]; 40 27 37 And [2532] set up [2007] over [1883] his [846] head [2776] his [846] accusation [156] written [1125], THIS [3778] IS [2076] JESUS [2424] THE KING [935] OF THE JEWS [2453]. 40 27 38 Then [5119] were there two [1417] thieves [3027] crucified [4717] with [4862] him [846], one [1520] on [1537] the right hand [1188], and [2532] another [1520] on [1537] the left [2176]. 40 27 39 And [1161] they that passed by [3899] reviled [987] him [846], wagging [2795] their [846] heads [2776], 40 27 40 And [2532] saying [3004], Thou that destroyest [2647] the temple [3485], and [2532] buildest [3618] it in [1722] three [5140] days [2250], save [4982] thyself [4572]. If [1487] thou be [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316], come down [2597] from [575] the cross [4716]. 40 27 41 [1161] Likewise [3668] also [2532] the chief priests [749] mocking [1702] him, with [3326] the scribes [1122] and [2532] elders [4245], said [3004], 40 27 42 He saved [4982] others [243]; himself [1438] he cannot [3756] [1410] save [4982]. If [1487] he be [2076] the King [935] of Israel [2474], let him [2597] now [3568] come down [2597] from [575] the cross [4716], and [2532] we will believe [4100] him [846]. 40 27 43 He trusted [3982] in [1909] God [2316]; let him deliver [4506] him [846] now [3568], if [1487] he will have [2309] him [846]: for [1063] he said [2036], [3754] I am [1510] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 40 27 44 [1161] The thieves [3027] also [2532], which [3588] were crucified [4957] with him [846], cast [3679] the same [846] in his [846] teeth [3679]. 40 27 45 Now [1161] from [575] the sixth [1623] hour [5610] there was [1096] darkness [4655] over [1909] all [3956] the land [1093] unto [2193] the ninth [1766] hour [5610]. 40 27 46 And [1161] about [4012] the ninth [1766] hour [5610] Jesus [2424] cried [310] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Eli [2241], Eli [2241], lama [2982] sabachthani [4518]? that [5123] is to say, My [3450] God [2316], my [3450] God [2316], why [2444] hast thou forsaken [1459] me [3165]? 40 27 47 [1161] Some of them [5100] that stood [2476] there [1563], when they heard [191] that, said [3004] [3754], This [3778] man calleth for [5455] Elias [2243]. 40 27 48 And [2532] straightway [2112] one [1520] of [1537] them [846] ran [5143], and [2532] took [2983] a spunge [4699], and [5037] filled [4130] it with vinegar [3690], and [2532] put it on [4060] a reed [2563], and gave [4222] him [846] to drink [4222]. 40 27 49 The [1161] rest [3062] said [3004], Let be [863], let us see [1492] whether [1487] Elias [2243] will come [2064] to save [4982] him [846]. 40 27 50 [1161] Jesus [2424], when he had cried [2896] again [3825] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], yielded up [863] the ghost [4151]. 40 27 51 And [2532], behold [2400], the veil [2665] of the temple [3485] was rent [4977] in [1519] twain [1417] from [575] the top [509] to [2193] the bottom [2736]; and [2532] the earth [1093] did quake [4579], and [2532] the rocks [4073] rent [4977]; 40 27 52 And [2532] the graves [3419] were opened [455]; and [2532] many [4183] bodies [4983] of the saints [40] which [3588] slept [2837] arose [1453], 40 27 53 And [2532] came [1831] out of [1537] the graves [3419] after [3326] his [846] resurrection [1454], and went [1525] into [1519] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] appeared [1718] unto many [4183]. 40 27 54 Now [1161] when the centurion [1543], and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846], watching [5083] Jesus [2424], saw [1492] the earthquake [4578], and [2532] those things that were done [1096], they feared [5399] greatly [4970], saying [3004], Truly [230] this [3778] was [2258] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 40 27 55 And [1161] many [4183] women [1135] were [2258] there [1563] beholding [2334] afar off [575] [3113], which [3748] followed [190] Jesus [2424] from [575] Galilee [1056], ministering [1247] unto him [846]: 40 27 56 Among [1722] which [3739] was [2258] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3384] of James [2385] and [2532] Joses [2500], and [2532] the mother [3384] of Zebedee's [2199] children [5207]. 40 27 57 When [1161] the even [3798] was come [1096], there came [2064] a rich [4145] man [444] of [575] Arimathaea [707], named [5122] Joseph [2501], who [3739] also [2532] himself [846] was [3100] Jesus [2424]' disciple [3100]: 40 27 58 He [3778] went [4334] to Pilate [4091], and begged [154] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424]. Then [5119] Pilate [4091] commanded [2753] the body [4983] to be delivered [591]. 40 27 59 And [2532] when Joseph [2501] had taken [2983] the body [4983], he wrapped [1794] it [846] in a clean [2513] linen cloth [4616], 40 27 60 And [2532] laid [5087] it [846] in [1722] his own [846] new [2537] tomb [3419], which [3739] he had hewn out [2998] in [1722] the rock [4073]: and [2532] he rolled [4351] a great [3173] stone [3037] to the door [2374] of the sepulchre [3419], and departed [565]. 40 27 61 And [1161] there [1563] was [2258] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] the other [243] Mary [3137], sitting [2521] over against [561] the sepulchre [5028]. 40 27 62 Now [1161] the next day [1887], that [3748] followed [2076] [3326] the day of the preparation [3904], the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] came together [4863] unto [4314] Pilate [4091], 40 27 63 Saying [3004], Sir [2962], we remember [3415] that [3754] that [1565] deceiver [4108] said [2036], while he was yet [2089] alive [2198], After [3326] three [5140] days [2250] I will rise again [1453]. 40 27 64 Command [2753] therefore [3767] that the sepulchre [5028] be made sure [805] until [2193] the third [5154] day [2250], lest [3379] his [846] disciples [3101] come [2064] by night [3571], and steal [2813] him [846] away [2813], and [2532] say [2036] unto the people [2992], He is risen [1453] from [575] the dead [3498]: so [2532] the last [2078] error [4106] shall be [2071] worse than [5501] the first [4413]. 40 27 65 [1161] Pilate [4091] said [5346] unto them [846], Ye have [2192] a watch [2892]: go your way [5217], make it as sure [805] as [5613] ye can [1492]. 40 27 66 So [1161] they went [4198], and made [805] the sepulchre [5028] sure [805], sealing [4972] the stone [3037], and setting [3326] a watch [2892]. 40 28 1 In the end [1161] [3796] of the sabbath [4521], as it began to dawn [2020] toward [1519] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], came [2064] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] and [2532] the other [243] Mary [3137] to see [2334] the sepulchre [5028]. 40 28 2 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578]: for [1063] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] descended [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], and came [4334] and rolled back [617] the stone [3037] from [575] the door [2374], and [2532] sat [2521] upon [1883] it [846]. 40 28 3 [1161] His [846] countenance [2397] was [2258] like [5613] lightning [796], and [2532] his [846] raiment [1742] white [3022] as [5616] snow [5510]: 40 28 4 And [1161] for [575] fear [5401] of him [846] the keepers [5083] did shake [4579], and [2532] became [1096] as [5616] dead [3498] men. 40 28 5 And [1161] the angel [32] answered [611] and said [2036] unto the women [1135], Fear [5399] not [3361] ye [5210]: for [1063] I know [1492] that [3754] ye seek [2212] Jesus [2424], which [3588] was crucified [4717]. 40 28 6 He is [2076] not [3756] here [5602]: for [1063] he is risen [1453], as [2531] he said [2036]. Come [1205], see [1492] the place [5117] where [3699] the Lord [2962] lay [2749]. 40 28 7 And [2532] go [4198] quickly [5035], and tell [2036] his [846] disciples [3101] that [3754] he is risen [1453] from [575] the dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], he goeth before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]; there [1563] shall ye see [3700] him [846]: lo [2400], I have told [2036] you [5213]. 40 28 8 And [2532] they departed [1831] quickly [5035] from [575] the sepulchre [3419] with [3326] fear [5401] and [2532] great [3173] joy [5479]; and did run [5143] to bring [518] his [846] disciples [3101] word [518]. 40 28 9 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] to tell [518] his [846] disciples [3101], [2532] behold [2400], Jesus [2424] met [528] them [846], saying [3004], All hail [5463]. And [1161] they came [4334] and held [2902] him [846] by the feet [4228], and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846]. 40 28 10 Then [5119] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]: go [565] tell [518] my [3450] brethren [80] that [2443] they go [5217] into [1519] Galilee [1056], and there [2546] shall they see [3700] me [3165]. 40 28 11 Now [1161] when they [846] were going [4198], behold [2400], some [5100] of the watch [2892] came [2064] into [1519] the city [4172], and shewed [518] unto the chief priests [749] all the things [537] that were done [1096]. 40 28 12 And [2532] when they were assembled [4863] with [3326] the elders [4245], and [5037] had taken [2983] counsel [4824], they gave [1325] large [2425] money [694] unto the soldiers [4757], 40 28 13 Saying [3004], Say ye [2036], [3754] His [846] disciples [3101] came [2064] by night [3571], and stole [2813] him [846] away while we [2257] slept [2837]. 40 28 14 And [2532] if [1437] this [5124] come [191] to [1909] the governor's [2232] ears [191], we [2249] will persuade [3982] him [846], and [2532] secure [275] [4160] you [5209]. 40 28 15 So [1161] they took [2983] the money [694], and did [4160] as [5613] they were taught [1321]: and [2532] this [3778] saying [3056] is commonly reported [1310] among [3844] the Jews [2453] until [3360] this day [4594]. 40 28 16 Then [1161] the eleven [1733] disciples [3101] went away [4198] into [1519] Galilee [1056], into [1519] a mountain [3735] where [3757] Jesus [2424] had appointed [5021] them [846]. 40 28 17 And [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they worshipped [4352] him [846]: but [1161] some doubted [1365]. 40 28 18 And [2532] Jesus [2424] came [4334] and spake [2980] unto them [846], saying [3004], All [3956] power [1849] is given [1325] unto me [3427] in [1722] heaven [3772] and [2532] in [1909] earth [1093]. 40 28 19 Go ye [4198] therefore [3767], and teach [3100] all [3956] nations [1484], baptizing [907] them [846] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Father [3962], and [2532] of the Son [5207], and [2532] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: 40 28 20 Teaching [1321] them [846] to observe [5083] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] I have commanded [1781] you [5213]: and [2532], lo [2400], I [1473] am [1510] with [3326] you [5216] alway [3956] [2250], even unto [2193] the end [4930] of the world [165]. Amen [281]. 41 1 1 The beginning [746] of the gospel [2098] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316]; 41 1 2 As [5613] it is written [1125] in [1722] the prophets [4396], Behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] my [3450] messenger [32] before [4253] thy [4675] face [4383], which [3739] shall prepare [2680] thy [4675] way [3598] before [1715] thee [4675]. 41 1 3 The voice [5456] of one crying [994] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], Prepare ye [2090] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962], make [4160] his [846] paths [5147] straight [2117]. 41 1 4 John [2491] did [1096] baptize [907] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] preach [2784] the baptism [908] of repentance [3341] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266]. 41 1 5 And [2532] there went out [1607] unto [4314] him [846] all [3956] the land [5561] of Judaea [2449], and [2532] they of Jerusalem [2415], and [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] of [5259] him [846] in [1722] the river [4215] of Jordan [2446], confessing [1843] their [846] sins [266]. 41 1 6 And [1161] John [2491] was [2258] clothed [1746] with camel's [2574] hair [2359], and [2532] with a girdle [2223] of a skin [1193] about [4012] his [846] loins [3751]; and [2532] he did eat [2068] locusts [200] and [2532] wild [66] honey [3192]; 41 1 7 And [2532] preached [2784], saying [3004], There cometh [2064] one mightier than [2478] I [3450] after [3694] me [3450], the latchet [2438] of whose [3739] shoes [846] [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to stoop down [2955] and unloose [3089]. 41 1 8 I [1473] indeed [3303] have baptized [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204]: but [1161] he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 41 1 9 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that Jesus [2424] came [2064] from [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] was baptized [907] of [5259] John [2491] in [1519] Jordan [2446]. 41 1 10 And [2532] straightway [2112] coming up [305] out of [575] the water [5204], he saw [1492] the heavens [3772] opened [4977], and [2532] the Spirit [4151] like [5616] a dove [4058] descending [2597] upon [1909] him [846]: 41 1 11 And [2532] there came [1096] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying, Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106]. 41 1 12 And [2532] immediately [2117] the Spirit [4151] driveth [1544] him [846] into [1519] the wilderness [2048]. 41 1 13 And [2532] he was [2258] there [1563] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] forty [5062] days [2250], tempted [3985] of [5259] Satan [4567]; and [2532] was [2258] with [3326] the wild beasts [2342]; and [2532] the angels [32] ministered [1247] unto him [846]. 41 1 14 Now [1161] after [3326] that John [2491] was put in prison [3860], Jesus [2424] came [2064] into [1519] Galilee [1056], preaching [2784] the gospel [2098] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316], 41 1 15 And [2532] saying [3004], [3754] The time [2540] is fulfilled [4137], and [2532] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is at hand [1448]: repent ye [3340], and [2532] believe [4100] [1722] the gospel [2098]. 41 1 16 Now [1161] as he walked [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], he saw [1492] Simon [4613] and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80] casting [906] a net [293] into [1722] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231]. 41 1 17 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Come ye [1205] after [3694] me [3450], and [2532] I will make [4160] you [5209] to become [1096] fishers [231] of men [444]. 41 1 18 And [2532] straightway [2112] they forsook [863] their [846] nets [1350], and followed [190] him [846]. 41 1 19 And [2532] when he had gone [4260] a little [3641] further [4260] thence [1564], he saw [1492] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], who [846] also [2532] were in [1722] the ship [4143] mending [2675] their nets [1350]. 41 1 20 And [2532] straightway [2112] he called [2564] them [846]: and [2532] they left [863] their [846] father [3962] Zebedee [2199] in [1722] the ship [4143] with [3326] the hired servants [3411], and went [565] after [3694] him [846]. 41 1 21 And [2532] they went [1531] into [1519] Capernaum [2584]; and [2532] straightway [2112] on the sabbath day [4521] he entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and taught [1321]. 41 1 22 And [2532] they were astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322]: for [1063] he taught [1321] [2258] them [846] as [5613] one that had [2192] authority [1849], and [2532] not [3756] as [5613] the scribes [1122]. 41 1 23 And [2532] there was [2258] in [1722] their [846] synagogue [4864] a man [444] with [1722] an unclean [169] spirit [4151]; and [2532] he cried out [349], 41 1 24 Saying [3004], Let us alone [1436]; what [5101] have we [2254] to do [2532] with thee [4671], thou Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3479]? art thou come [2064] to destroy [622] us [2248]? I know [1492] thee [4571] who [5101] thou art [1488], the Holy One [40] of God [2316]. 41 1 25 And [2532] Jesus [2424] rebuked [2008] him [846], saying [3004], Hold thy peace [5392], and [2532] come [1831] out of [1537] him [846]. 41 1 26 And [2532] when the unclean [169] spirit [4151] had torn [4682] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], he came [1831] out of [1537] him [846]. 41 1 27 And [2532] they were [2284] all [3956] amazed [2284], insomuch that [5620] they questioned [4802] among [4314] themselves [846], saying [3004], What thing [5101] is [2076] this [3778]? what [5101] new [2537] doctrine [1322] is this [5124]? for [3754] with [2596] authority [1849] commandeth [2004] he even [2532] the unclean [169] spirits [4151], and [2532] they do obey [5219] him [846]. 41 1 28 And [1161] immediately [2117] his [846] fame [189] spread abroad [1831] throughout [1519] all [3650] the region round about [4066] Galilee [1056]. 41 1 29 And [2532] forthwith [2112], when they were come [1831] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], they entered [2064] into [1519] the house [3614] of Simon [4613] and [2532] Andrew [406], with [3326] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491]. 41 1 30 But [1161] Simon's [4613] wife's mother [3994] lay [2621] sick of a fever [4445], and [2532] anon [2112] they tell [3004] him [846] of [4012] her [846]. 41 1 31 And [2532] he came [4334] and took [2902] her [846] by the hand [5495], and lifted [1453] her [846] up [1453]; and [2532] immediately [2112] the fever [4446] left [863] her [846], and [2532] she ministered [1247] unto them [846]. 41 1 32 And [1161] at [1096] even [3798], when [3753] the sun [2246] did set [1416], they brought [5342] unto [4314] him [846] all [3956] that were [2192] diseased [2560], and [2532] them that were possessed with devils [1139]. 41 1 33 And [2532] all [3650] the city [4172] was [2258] gathered together [1996] at [4314] the door [2374]. 41 1 34 And [2532] he healed [2323] many [4183] that were [2192] sick [2560] of divers [4164] diseases [3554], and [2532] cast out [1544] many [4183] devils [1140]; and [2532] suffered [863] not [3756] the devils [1140] to speak [2980], because [3754] they knew [1492] him [846]. 41 1 35 And [2532] in the morning [4404], rising up [450] a great while [3029] before day [1773], he went out [1831], and [2532] departed [565] into [1519] a solitary [2048] place [5117], and there [2546] prayed [4336]. 41 1 36 And [2532] Simon [4613] and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846] followed after [2614] him [846]. 41 1 37 And [2532] when they had found [2147] him [846], they said [3004] unto him [846], [3754] All [3956] men seek [2212] for thee [4571]. 41 1 38 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Let us go [71] into [1519] the next [2192] towns [2969], that [2443] I may preach [2784] there also [2546]: for [1063] therefore [1519] [5124] came I forth [1831]. 41 1 39 And [2532] he preached [2784] [2258] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864] throughout [1519] all [3650] Galilee [1056], and [2532] cast out [1544] devils [1140]. 41 1 40 And [2532] there came [2064] a leper [3015] to [4314] him [846], beseeching [3870] him [846], and [2532] kneeling down [1120] to him [846], and [2532] saying [3004] unto him [846], [3754] If [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511]. 41 1 41 And [1161] Jesus [2424], moved with compassion [4697], put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], I will [2309]; be thou clean [2511]. 41 1 42 And [2532] as soon as he [846] had spoken [2036], immediately [2112] the leprosy [3014] departed [565] from [575] him [846], and [2532] he was cleansed [2511]. 41 1 43 And [2532] he straitly charged [1690] him [846], and forthwith [2112] sent [1544] him [846] away [1544]; 41 1 44 And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], See [3708] thou say [2036] nothing [3367] to any man [3367]: but [235] go thy way [5217], shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] for [4012] thy [4675] cleansing [2512] those things [3739] which Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846]. 41 1 45 But [1161] he went out [1831], and began [756] to publish [2784] it much [4183], and [2532] to blaze abroad [1310] the matter [3056], insomuch that [5620] Jesus [846] could [1410] no more [3371] openly [5320] enter [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], but [235] was [2258] without [1854] in [1722] desert [2048] places [5117]: and [2532] they came [2064] to [4314] him [846] from every quarter [3836]. 41 2 1 And [2532] again [3825] he entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584] after [1223] some days [2250]; and [2532] it was noised [191] that [3754] he was [2076] in [1519] the house [3624]. 41 2 2 And [2532] straightway [2112] many [4183] were gathered together [4863], insomuch that [5620] there was [5562] no [3371] room to receive [5562] them, no, not so much [3366] as about [4314] the door [2374]: and [2532] he preached [2980] the word [3056] unto them [846]. 41 2 3 And [2532] they come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], bringing [5342] one sick of the palsy [3885], which was borne [142] of [5259] four [5064]. 41 2 4 And [2532] when they could [1410] not [3361] come nigh [4331] unto him [846] for [1223] the press [3793], they uncovered [648] the roof [4721] where [3699] he was [2258]: and [2532] when they had broken it up [1846], they let down [5465] the bed [2895] wherein [1909] [3739] the sick of the palsy [3885] lay [2621]. 41 2 5 When [1161] Jesus [2424] saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [3004] unto the sick of the palsy [3885], Son [5043], thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]. 41 2 6 But [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] sitting [2521] there [1563], and [2532] reasoning [1260] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588], 41 2 7 Why [5101] doth [2980] this [3778] man thus [3779] speak [2980] blasphemies [988]? who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266] but [1508] God [2316] only [1520]? 41 2 8 And [2532] immediately [2112] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] in his [846] spirit [4151] that [3754] they so [3779] reasoned [1260] within [1722] themselves [1438], he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] reason ye [1260] these things [5023] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]? 41 2 9 Whether [5101] is it [2076] easier [2123] to say [2036] to the sick of the palsy [3885], Thy sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]? 41 2 10 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] on [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he saith [3004] to the sick of the palsy [3885],) 41 2 11 I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] go thy way [5217] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624]. 41 2 12 And [2532] immediately [2112] he arose [1453], took up [142] the bed [2895], and [2532] went forth [1831] before [1726] them all [3956]; insomuch that [5620] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], [3754] We [1492] never [3763] saw [1492] it on this fashion [3779]. 41 2 13 And [2532] he went forth [1831] again [3825] by [3844] the sea side [2281]; and [2532] all [3956] the multitude [3793] resorted [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] he taught [1321] them [846]. 41 2 14 And [2532] as he passed by [3855], he saw [1492] Levi [3018] the son of Alphaeus [256] sitting [2521] at [1909] the receipt of custom [5058], and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. And [2532] he arose [450] and followed [190] him [846]. 41 2 15 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that [1722], as Jesus [846] sat at meat [2621] in [1722] his [846] house [3614], many [4183] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268] sat [4873] also [2532] together with [4873] Jesus [2424] and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]: for [1063] there were [2258] many [4183], and [2532] they followed [190] him [846]. 41 2 16 And [2532] when the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] saw [1492] him [846] eat [2068] with [3326] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268], they said [3004] unto his [846] disciples [3101], How [5101] is it that [3754] he eateth [2068] and [2532] drinketh [4095] with [3326] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]? 41 2 17 When [2532] Jesus [2424] heard [191] it, he saith [3004] unto them [846], They that are whole [2480] have [2192] no [3756] need [5532] of the physician [2395], but [235] they that are [2192] sick [2560]: I came [2064] not [3756] to call [2564] the righteous [1342], but [235] sinners [268] to [1519] repentance [3341]. 41 2 18 And [2532] the disciples [3101] of John [2491] and [2532] of the Pharisees [5330] used [2258] to fast [3522]: and [2532] they come [2064] and [2532] say [3004] unto him [846], Why do [1302] [3522] the disciples [3101] of John [2491] and [2532] of the Pharisees [5330] fast [3522], but [1161] thy [4674] disciples [3101] fast [3522] not [3756]? 41 2 19 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], [3361] Can [1410] the children [5207] of the bridechamber [3567] fast [3522], while [1722] [3739] the bridegroom [3566] is [2076] with [3326] them [846]? as long as [3745] [5550] they have [2192] the bridegroom [3566] with [3326] them [1438], they cannot [3756] [1410] fast [3522]. 41 2 20 But [1161] the days [2250] will come [2064], when [3752] the bridegroom [3566] shall be taken away [522] from [575] them [846], and [2532] then [5119] shall they fast [3522] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250]. 41 2 21 No man [3762] also [2532] seweth [1976] a piece [1915] of new [46] cloth [4470] on [1909] an old [3820] garment [2440]: else [1490] the new piece [2537] that filled it up [4138] taketh away [142] from [846] the old [3820], and [2532] the rent [4978] is made [1096] worse [5501]. 41 2 22 And [2532] no man [3762] putteth [906] new [3501] wine [3631] into [1519] old [3820] bottles [779]: else [1490] the new [3501] wine [3631] doth burst [4486] the bottles [779], and [2532] the wine [3631] is spilled [1632], and [2532] the bottles [779] will be marred [622]: but [235] new [3501] wine [3631] must be put [992] into [1519] new [2537] bottles [779]. 41 2 23 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that he [846] went [3899] through [1223] the corn fields [4702] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] began [756], as they went [3598] [4160], to pluck [5089] the ears of corn [4719]. 41 2 24 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] said [3004] unto him [846], Behold [2396], why [5101] do they [4160] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832]? 41 2 25 And [2532] he [846] said [3004] unto them [846], Have ye never [3763] read [314] what [5101] David [1138] did [4160], when [3753] he had [2192] need [5532], and [2532] was an hungred [3983], he [846], and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846]? 41 2 26 How [4459] he went [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316] in the days [1909] of Abiathar [8] the high priest [749], and [2532] did eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to eat [5315] but for [1508] the priests [2409], and [2532] gave [1325] also [2532] to them which were [5607] with [4862] him [846]? 41 2 27 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], The sabbath [4521] was made [1096] for [1223] man [444], and not [3756] man [444] for [1223] the sabbath [4521]: 41 2 28 Therefore [5620] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521]. 41 3 1 And [2532] he entered [1525] again [3825] into [1519] the synagogue [4864]; and [2532] there was [2258] a man [444] there [1563] which had [2192] a withered [3583] hand [5495]. 41 3 2 And [2532] they watched [3906] him [846], whether [1487] he would heal [2323] him [846] on the sabbath day [4521]; that [2443] they might accuse [2723] him [846]. 41 3 3 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto the man [444] which had [2192] the withered [3583] hand [5495], Stand [1453] forth [1519] [3319]. 41 3 4 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Is it lawful [1832] to do good [15] on the sabbath days [4521], or [2228] to do evil [2554]? to save [4982] life [5590], or [2228] to kill [615]? But [1161] they held their peace [4623]. 41 3 5 And [2532] when he had looked round about [4017] on them [846] with [3326] anger [3709], being grieved [4818] for [1909] the hardness [4457] of their [846] hearts [2588], he saith [3004] unto the man [444], Stretch forth [1614] thine [4675] hand [5495]. And [2532] he stretched it out [1614]: and [2532] his [846] hand [5495] was restored [600] whole [5199] as [5613] the other [243]. 41 3 6 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] went forth [1831], and straightway [2112] took [4160] counsel [4824] with [3326] the Herodians [2265] against [2596] him [846], how [3704] they might destroy [622] him [846]. 41 3 7 But [2532] Jesus [2424] withdrew himself [402] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101] to [4314] the sea [2281]: and [2532] a great [4183] multitude [4128] from [575] Galilee [1056] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] from [575] Judaea [2449], 41 3 8 And [2532] from [575] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] from [575] Idumaea [2401], and [2532] from beyond [4008] Jordan [2446]; and [2532] they about [4012] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], a great [4183] multitude [4128], when they had heard [191] what great things [3745] he did [4160], came [2064] unto [4314] him [846]. 41 3 9 And [2532] he spake [2036] to his [846] disciples [3101], that [2443] a small ship [4142] should wait on [4342] him [846] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], lest [3363] they should throng [2346] him [846]. 41 3 10 For [1063] he had healed [2323] many [4183]; insomuch that [5620] they pressed upon [1968] him [846] for to [2443] touch [680] him [846], as many as [3745] had [2192] plagues [3148]. 41 3 11 And [2532] unclean [169] spirits [4151], when [3752] they saw [2334] him [846], fell down before [4363] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896], saying [3004], [3754] Thou [4771] art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 41 3 12 And [2532] he straitly [4183] charged [2008] them [846] that [3363] they should [4160] not [3363] make [4160] him [846] known [5318]. 41 3 13 And [2532] he goeth up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] calleth [4341] unto him whom [3739] he [846] would [2309]: and [2532] they came [565] unto [4314] him [846]. 41 3 14 And [2532] he ordained [4160] twelve [1427], that [2443] they should be [5600] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] that [2443] he might send [649] them [846] forth [649] to preach [2784], 41 3 15 And [2532] to have [2192] power [1849] to heal [2323] sicknesses [3554], and [2532] to cast out [1544] devils [1140]: 41 3 16 And [2532] Simon [4613] he surnamed [2007] [3686] Peter [4074]; 41 3 17 And [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] the brother [80] of James [2385]; and [2532] he surnamed [2007] [3686] them [846] Boanerges [993], which is [3603], The sons [5207] of thunder [1027]: 41 3 18 And [2532] Andrew [406], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], and [2532] Thomas [2381], and [2532] James [2385] the son [3588] of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Thaddaeus [2280], and [2532] Simon [4613] the Canaanite [2581], 41 3 19 And [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] betrayed [3860] him [846]: and [2532] they went [2064] into [1519] an house [3624]. 41 3 20 And [2532] the multitude [3793] cometh together [4905] again [3825], so that [5620] they [846] could [1410] not [3361] so much as [3383] eat [5315] bread [740]. 41 3 21 And [2532] when his [846] friends [3844] heard [191] of it, they went out [1831] to lay hold [2902] on him [846]: for [1063] they said [3004], [3754] He is beside himself [1839]. 41 3 22 And [2532] the scribes [1122] which [3588] came down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2414] said [3004], [3754] He hath [2192] Beelzebub [954], [3754] and [2532] by [1722] the prince [758] of the devils [1140] casteth he out [1544] devils [1140]. 41 3 23 And [2532] he called [4341] them [846] unto him, and said [3004] unto them [846] in [1722] parables [3850], How [4459] can [1410] Satan [4567] cast out [1544] Satan [4567]? 41 3 24 And [2532] if [1437] a kingdom [932] be divided [3307] against [1909] itself [1438], that [1565] kingdom [932] cannot [3756] [1410] stand [2476]. 41 3 25 And [2532] if [1437] a house [3614] be divided [3307] against [1909] itself [1438], that [1565] house [3614] cannot [3756] [1410] stand [2476]. 41 3 26 And [2532] if [1487] Satan [4567] rise up [450] against [1909] himself [1438], and [2532] be divided [3307], he cannot [3756] [1410] stand [2476], but [235] hath [2192] an end [5056]. 41 3 27 No man [3762] can [3756] [1410] enter [1525] into [1519] a strong man's [2478] house [3614], and spoil [1283] his [846] goods [4632], except [3362] he will [1210] first [4412] bind [1210] the strong man [2478]; and [2532] then [5119] he will spoil [1283] his [846] house [3614]. 41 3 28 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] All [3956] sins [265] shall be forgiven [863] unto the sons [5207] of men [444], and [2532] blasphemies [988] wherewith [3745] soever [302] they shall blaspheme [987]: 41 3 29 But [1161] he [3739] that [302] shall blaspheme [987] against [1519] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] hath [2192] never [3756] [1519] [165] forgiveness [859], but [235] is [2076] in danger [1777] of eternal [166] damnation [2920]: 41 3 30 Because [3754] they said [3004], He hath [2192] an unclean [169] spirit [4151]. 41 3 31 There came [2064] then [3767] his [846] brethren [80] and [2532] his mother [3384], and [2532], standing [2476] without [1854], sent [649] unto [4314] him [846], calling [5455] him [846]. 41 3 32 And [2532] the multitude [3793] sat [2521] about [4012] him [846], and [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], thy [4675] mother [3384] and [2532] thy [4675] brethren [80] without [1854] seek for [2212] thee [4571]. 41 3 33 And [2532] he answered [611] them [846], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] my [3450] mother [3384], or [2228] my [3450] brethren [80]? 41 3 34 And [2532] he looked [4017] round about [2945] on them which [3588] sat [2521] about [4012] him [846], and said [3004], Behold [2396] my [3450] mother [3384] and [2532] my [3450] brethren [80]! 41 3 35 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall do [4160] the will [2307] of God [2316], the same [3778] is [2076] my [3450] brother [80], and [2532] my [3450] sister [79], and [2532] mother [3384]. 41 4 1 And [2532] he began [756] again [3825] to teach [1321] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: and [2532] there was gathered [4863] unto [4314] him [846] a great [4183] multitude [3793], so that [5620] he [846] entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521] in [1722] the sea [2281]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] was [2258] by [4314] the sea [2281] on [1909] the land [1093]. 41 4 2 And [2532] he taught [1321] them [846] many things [4183] by [1722] parables [3850], and [2532] said [3004] unto them [846] in [1722] his [846] doctrine [1322], 41 4 3 Hearken [191]; Behold [2400], there went out [1831] a sower [4687] to sow [4687]: 41 4 4 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598], and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] came [2064] and [2532] devoured [2719] it [846] up [2719]. 41 4 5 And [1161] some [243] fell [4098] on [1909] stony ground [4075], where [3699] it had [2192] not [3756] much [4183] earth [1093]; and [2532] immediately [2112] it sprang up [1816], because [1223] it had [2192] no [3361] depth [899] of earth [1093]: 41 4 6 But [1161] when [393] the sun [2246] was up [393], it was scorched [2739]; and [2532] because [1223] it had [2192] no [3361] root [4491], it withered away [3583]. 41 4 7 And [2532] some [243] fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173], and [2532] the thorns [173] grew up [305], and [2532] choked [4846] it [846], and [2532] it yielded [1325] no [3756] fruit [2590]. 41 4 8 And [2532] other [243] fell [4098] on [1519] good [2570] ground [1093], and [2532] did yield [1325] fruit [2590] that sprang up [305] and [2532] increased [837]; and [2532] brought forth [5342], some [1520] thirty [5144], and [2532] some [1520] sixty [1835], and [2532] some [1520] an hundred [1540]. 41 4 9 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 41 4 10 And [1161] when [3753] he was [1096] alone [2651], they that were about [4012] him [846] with [4862] the twelve [1427] asked [2065] of him [846] the parable [3850]. 41 4 11 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Unto you [5213] it is given [1325] to know [1097] the mystery [3466] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: but [1161] unto them [1565] that are without [1854], all these things [3956] are done [1096] in [1722] parables [3850]: 41 4 12 That [2443] seeing [991] they may see [991], and [2532] not [3361] perceive [1492]; and [2532] hearing [191] they may hear [191], and [2532] not [3361] understand [4920]; lest at any time [3379] they should be converted [1994], and [2532] their sins [265] should be forgiven [863] them [846]. 41 4 13 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Know ye [1492] not [3756] this [5026] parable [3850]? and [2532] how then [4459] will ye know [1097] all [3956] parables [3850]? 41 4 14 The sower [4687] soweth [4687] the word [3056]. 41 4 15 And [1161] these [3778] are they [1526] by [3844] the way side [3598], where [3699] the word [3056] is sown [4687]; but [2532] when [3752] they have heard [191], Satan [4567] cometh [2064] immediately [2112], and [2532] taketh away [142] the word [3056] that was sown [4687] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588]. 41 4 16 And [2532] these [3778] are they [1526] likewise [3668] which are sown [4687] on [1909] stony ground [4075]; who [3739], when [3752] they have heard [191] the word [3056], immediately [2112] receive [2983] it [846] with [3326] gladness [5479]; 41 4 17 And [2532] have [2192] no [3756] root [4491] in [1722] themselves [1438], and [235] so endure [1526] but for a time [4340]: afterward [1534], when affliction [2347] or [2228] persecution [1375] ariseth [1096] for [1223] the word's sake [3056], immediately [2112] they are offended [4624]. 41 4 18 And [2532] these [3778] are [1526] they which are [1526] sown [4687] among [1519] thorns [173]; such as [3778] hear [191] the word [3056], 41 4 19 And [2532] the cares [3308] of this [5127] world [165], and [2532] the deceitfulness [539] of riches [4149], and [2532] the lusts [1939] of [4012] other things [3062] entering in [1531], choke [4846] the word [3056], and [2532] it becometh [1096] unfruitful [175]. 41 4 20 And [2532] these [3778] are [1526] they which are sown [4687] on [1909] good [2570] ground [1093]; such as [3748] hear [191] the word [3056], and [2532] receive [3858] it, and [2532] bring forth fruit [2592], some [1520] thirtyfold [5144], some [2532] [1520] sixty [1835], and [2532] some [1520] an hundred [1540]. 41 4 21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]? 41 4 22 For [1063] there is [2076] nothing [3756] hid [2927] [5100], which [3739] shall [5319] not [3362] be manifested [5319]; neither [3761] was any thing kept [1096] secret [614], but [235] that [2443] it should come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318]. 41 4 23 If any man [1536] have [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 41 4 24 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Take heed [991] what [5101] ye hear [191]: with [1722] what [3739] measure [3358] ye mete [3354], it shall be measured [3354] to you [5213]: and [2532] unto you [5213] that hear [191] shall more be given [4369]. 41 4 25 For [1063] [302] he that [3739] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]: and [2532] he that [3739] hath [2192] not [3756], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he hath [2192]. 41 4 26 And [2532] he said [3004], So [3779] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], as [5613] if [1437] a man [444] should cast [906] seed [4703] into [1909] the ground [1093]; 41 4 27 And [2532] should sleep [2518], and [2532] rise [1453] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250], and [2532] the seed [4703] should spring [985] and [2532] grow up [3373], he [846] knoweth [1492] not [3756] how [5613]. 41 4 28 For [1063] the earth [1093] bringeth forth fruit [2592] of herself [844]; first [4412] the blade [5528], then [1534] the ear [4719], after that [1534] the full [4134] corn [4621] in [1722] the ear [4719]. 41 4 29 But [1161] when [3752] the fruit [2590] is brought forth [3860], immediately [2112] he putteth in [649] the sickle [1407], because [3754] the harvest [2326] is come [3936]. 41 4 30 And [2532] he said [3004], Whereunto [5101] shall we liken [3666] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]? or [2228] with [1722] what [4169] comparison [3850] shall we compare [3846] it [846]? 41 4 31 It is like [5613] a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], which [3739], when [3752] it is sown [4687] in [1909] the earth [1093], is less [3398] than all [3956] the seeds [4690] that be [2076] in [1909] the earth [1093]: 41 4 32 But [2532] when [3752] it is sown [4687], it groweth up [305], and [2532] becometh [1096] greater than [3187] all [3956] herbs [3001], and [2532] shooteth out [4160] great [3173] branches [2798]; so that [5620] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] may [1410] lodge [2681] under [5259] the shadow [4639] of it [846]. 41 4 33 And [2532] with many [4183] such [5108] parables [3850] spake he [2980] the word [3056] unto them [846], as [2531] they were able [1410] to hear [191] it. 41 4 34 But [1161] without [5565] a parable [3850] spake [2980] he not [3756] unto them [846]: and [1161] when they were alone [2398] [2596], he expounded [1956] all things [3956] to his [846] disciples [3101]. 41 4 35 And [2532] the [1722] same [1565] day [2250], when the even [3798] was come [1096], he saith [3004] unto them [846], Let us pass over [1330] unto [1519] the other side [4008]. 41 4 36 And [2532] when they had sent away [863] the multitude [3793], they took [3880] him [846] even as [5613] he was [2258] in [1722] the ship [4143]. And [1161] there were [2258] also [2532] with [3326] him [846] other [243] little ships [4142]. 41 4 37 And [2532] there arose [1096] a great [3173] storm [2978] of wind [417], and [1161] the waves [2949] beat [1911] into [1519] the ship [4143], so that [5620] it [846] was [1072] now [2235] full [1072]. 41 4 38 And [2532] he [846] was [2258] in [1909] the hinder part of the ship [4403], asleep [2518] on [1909] a pillow [4344]: and [2532] they awake [1326] him [846], and [2532] say [3004] unto him [846], Master [1320], carest [3199] thou [4671] not [3756] that [3754] we perish [622]? 41 4 39 And [2532] he arose [1326], and rebuked [2008] the wind [417], and [2532] said [2036] unto the sea [2281], Peace [4623], be still [5392]. And [2532] the wind [417] ceased [2869], and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] calm [1055]. 41 4 40 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] so [3779] fearful [1169]? how is it [4459] that ye have [2192] no [3756] faith [4102]? 41 4 41 And [2532] they feared [5399] exceedingly [5401] [3173], and [2532] said [3004] one [240] to [4314] another [240], What [5101] manner of man [686] is [2076] this [3778], that [3754] even [2532] the wind [417] and [2532] the sea [2281] obey [5219] him [846]? 41 5 1 And [2532] they came over [2064] unto [1519] the other side [4008] of the sea [2281], into [1519] the country [5561] of the Gadarenes [1046]. 41 5 2 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1831] out of [1537] the ship [4143], immediately [2112] there met [528] him [846] out of [1537] the tombs [3419] a man [444] with [1722] an unclean [169] spirit [4151], 41 5 3 Who [3739] had [2192] his dwelling [2731] among [1722] the tombs [3419]; and [2532] no man [3762] could [1410] bind [1210] him [846], no, not [3777] with chains [254]: 41 5 4 Because [1223] that he [846] had been often [4178] bound [1210] with fetters [3976] and [2532] chains [254], and [2532] the chains [254] had been plucked asunder [1288] by [5259] him [846], and [2532] the fetters [3976] broken in pieces [4937]: neither [2532] could [2480] any man tame [1150] him [846] [3762]. 41 5 5 And [2532] always [1275], night [3571] and [2532] day [2250], he was [2258] in [1722] the mountains [3735], and [2532] in [1722] the tombs [3418], crying [2896], and [2532] cutting [2629] himself [1438] with stones [3037]. 41 5 6 But [1161] when he saw [1492] Jesus [2424] afar off [575] [3113], he ran [5143] and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846], 41 5 7 And [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and said [2036], What [5101] have I [1698] to do [2532] with thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of the most high [5310] God [2316]? I adjure [3726] thee [4571] by God [2316], that thou torment [928] me [3165] not [3361]. 41 5 8 For [1063] he said [3004] unto him [846], Come [1831] out of [1537] the man [444], thou unclean [169] spirit [4151]. 41 5 9 And [2532] he asked [1905] him [846], What [5101] is thy [4671] name [3686]? And [2532] he answered [611], saying [3004], My [3427] name [3686] is Legion [3003]: for [3754] we are [2070] many [4183]. 41 5 10 And [2532] he besought [3870] him [846] much [4183] that [3363] he would [649] not [3363] send [649] them [846] away [649] out of [1854] the country [5561]. 41 5 11 Now [1161] there was [2258] there [1563] nigh [4314] unto the mountains [3735] a great [3173] herd [34] of swine [5519] feeding [1006]. 41 5 12 And [2532] all [3956] the devils [1142] besought [3870] him [846], saying [3004], Send [3992] us [2248] into [1519] the swine [5519], that [2443] we may enter [1525] into [1519] them [846]. 41 5 13 And [2532] forthwith [2112] Jesus [2424] gave [2010] them [846] leave [2010]. And [2532] the unclean [169] spirits [4151] went out [1831], and entered [1525] into [1519] the swine [5519]: and [2532] the herd [34] ran [3729] violently down [2596] a steep place [2911] into [1519] the sea [2281], [1161] (they were [2258] about [5613] two thousand [1367];) and [2532] were choked [4155] in [1722] the sea [2281]. 41 5 14 And [1161] they that fed [1006] the swine [5519] fled [5343], and [2532] told [312] it in [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] in [1519] the country [68]. And [2532] they went out [1831] to see [1492] what [5101] it was [2076] that was done [1096]. 41 5 15 And [2532] they come [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] see [2334] him that was possessed with the devil [1139], and had [2192] the legion [3003], sitting [2521], and [2532] clothed [2439], and [2532] in his right mind [4993]: and [2532] they were afraid [5399]. 41 5 16 And [2532] they that saw [1492] it told [1334] them [846] how [4459] it befell [1096] to him that was possessed with the devil [1139], and [2532] also concerning [4012] the swine [5519]. 41 5 17 And [2532] they began [756] to pray [3870] him [846] to depart [565] out of [575] their [846] coasts [3725]. 41 5 18 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], he that had been possessed with the devil [1139] prayed [3870] him [846] that [2443] he might be [5600] with [3326] him [846]. 41 5 19 Howbeit [1161] Jesus [2424] suffered [863] him [846] not [3756], but [235] saith [3004] unto him [846], Go [5217] home [1519] [3624] [4675] to [4314] thy friends [4674], and [2532] tell [312] them [846] how great things [3745] the Lord [2962] hath done [4160] for thee [4671], and [2532] hath had compassion [1653] on thee [4571]. 41 5 20 And [2532] he departed [565], and [2532] began [756] to publish [2784] in [1722] Decapolis [1179] how great things [3745] Jesus [2424] had done [4160] for him [846]: and [2532] all [3956] men did marvel [2296]. 41 5 21 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] was passed over [1276] again [3825] by [1722] ship [4143] unto [1519] the other side [4008], much [4183] people [3793] gathered [4863] unto [1909] him [846]: and [2532] he was [2258] nigh [3844] unto the sea [2281]. 41 5 22 And [2532], behold [2400], there cometh [2064] one [1520] of the rulers of the synagogue [752], Jairus [2383] by name [3686]; and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he fell [4098] at [4314] his [846] feet [4228], 41 5 23 And [2532] besought [3870] him [846] greatly [4183], saying [3004], [3754] My [3450] little daughter [2365] lieth [2079] at the point of death [2192]: I pray thee, come [2064] and [2443] lay [2007] thy hands [5495] on her [846], that [3704] she may be healed [4982]; and [2532] she shall live [2198]. 41 5 24 And [2532] Jesus went [565] with [3326] him [846]; and [2532] much [4183] people [3793] followed [190] him [846], and [2532] thronged [4918] him [846]. 41 5 25 And [2532] a certain [5100] woman [1135], which had an [1722] issue [4511] of blood [129] [5607] twelve [1427] years [2094], 41 5 26 And [2532] had suffered [3958] many things [4183] of [5259] many [4183] physicians [2395], and [2532] had spent [1159] all [3956] that she [1438] had [3844], and [2532] was [5623] nothing [3367] bettered [5623], but [235] rather [3123] grew [2064] worse [1519] [5501], 41 5 27 When she had heard [191] of [4012] Jesus [2424], came [2064] in [1722] the press [3793] behind [3693], and touched [680] his [846] garment [2440]. 41 5 28 For [1063] she said [3004], If [3754] [2579] I may touch [680] but [2579] his [846] clothes [2440], I shall be whole [4982]. 41 5 29 And [2532] straightway [2112] the fountain [4077] of her [846] blood [129] was dried up [3583]; and [2532] she felt [1097] in her body [4983] that [3754] she was healed [2390] of [575] that plague [3148]. 41 5 30 And [2532] Jesus [2424], immediately [2112] knowing [1921] in [1722] himself [1438] that virtue [1411] had gone [1831] out of [1537] him [846], turned him about [1994] in [1722] the press [3793], and said [3004], Who [5101] touched [680] my [3450] clothes [2440]? 41 5 31 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] said [3004] unto him [846], Thou seest [991] the multitude [3793] thronging [4918] thee [4571], and [2532] sayest thou [3004], Who [5101] touched [680] me [3450]? 41 5 32 And [2532] he looked round about [4017] to see [1492] her that had done [4160] this thing [5124]. 41 5 33 But [1161] the woman [1135] fearing [5399] and [2532] trembling [5141], knowing [1492] what [3739] was done [1096] in [1909] her [846], came [2064] and [2532] fell down before [4363] him [846], and [2532] told [2036] him [846] all [3956] the truth [225]. 41 5 34 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], Daughter [2364], thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]; go [5217] in [1519] peace [1515], and [2532] be [2468] whole [5199] of [575] thy [4675] plague [3148]. 41 5 35 While [2089] he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], there came [2064] from [575] the ruler of the synagogue's [752] house certain which said [3004], [3754] Thy [4675] daughter [2364] is dead [599]: why [5101] troublest thou [4660] the Master [1320] any further [2089]? 41 5 36 As soon as [1161] [2112] Jesus [2424] heard [191] the word [3056] that was spoken [2980], he saith [3004] unto the ruler of the synagogue [752], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399], only [3440] believe [4100]. 41 5 37 And [2532] he suffered [863] [3756] no man [3762] to follow [4870] him [846], save [1508] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491] the brother [80] of James [2385]. 41 5 38 And [2532] he cometh [2064] to [1519] the house [3624] of the ruler of the synagogue [752], and [2532] seeth [2334] the tumult [2351], and them that wept [2799] and [2532] wailed [214] greatly [4183]. 41 5 39 And [2532] when he was come in [1525], he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] make ye this ado [2350], and [2532] weep [2799]? the damsel [3813] is [599] not [3756] dead [599], but [235] sleepeth [2518]. 41 5 40 And [2532] they laughed [2606] him [846] to scorn [2606]. But [1161] when he had put [1544] them all [537] out [1544], he taketh [3880] the father [3962] and [2532] the mother [3384] of the damsel [3813], and [2532] them that were with [3326] him [846], and [2532] entereth in [1531] where [3699] the damsel [3813] was [2258] lying [345]. 41 5 41 And [2532] he took [2902] the damsel [3813] by the hand [5495], and said [3004] unto her [846], Talitha [5008] cumi [2891]; which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], Damsel [2877], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], arise [1453]. 41 5 42 And [2532] straightway [2112] the damsel [2877] arose [450], and [2532] walked [4043]; for [1063] she was [2258] of the age of twelve [1427] years [2094]. And [2532] they were astonished [1839] with a great [3173] astonishment [1611]. 41 5 43 And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846] straitly [4183] that [2443] no man [3367] should know [1097] it [5124]; and [2532] commanded [2036] that something should be given [1325] her [846] to eat [5315]. 41 6 1 And [2532] he went out [1831] from thence [1564], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] his own [846] country [3968]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] follow [190] him [846]. 41 6 2 And [2532] when the sabbath day [4521] was come [1096], he began [756] to teach [1321] in [1722] the synagogue [4864]: and [2532] many [4183] hearing [191] him were astonished [1605], saying [3004], From whence [4159] hath this [5129] man these things [5023]? and [2532] what [5101] wisdom [4678] is this which is given [1325] unto him [846], that [3754] even [2532] such [5108] mighty works [1411] are wrought [1096] by [1223] his [846] hands [5495]? 41 6 3 Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] the carpenter [5045], the son [5207] of Mary [3137], [1161] the brother [80] of James [2385], and [2532] Joses [2500], and [2532] of Juda [2455], and [2532] Simon [4613]? and [2532] are [1526] not [3756] his [846] sisters [79] here [5602] with [4314] us [2248]? And [2532] they were offended [4624] at [1722] him [846]. 41 6 4 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [3004] unto them [846] [3754], A prophet [4396] is [2076] not [3756] without honour [820], but [1508] in [1722] his own [846] country [3968], and [2532] among [1722] his own kin [4773], and [2532] in [1722] his own [846] house [3614]. 41 6 5 And [2532] he could [3756] [1410] there [1563] do [4160] no [3762] mighty work [1411], save [1508] that he laid [2007] his hands [5495] upon a few [3641] sick folk [732], and healed [2323] them. 41 6 6 And [2532] he marvelled [2296] because [1223] of their [846] unbelief [570]. And [2532] he went [4013] round about [2945] the villages [2968], teaching [1321]. 41 6 7 And [2532] he called [4341] unto him the twelve [1427], and [2532] began [756] to send [649] them [846] forth [649] by two [1417] and two [1417]; and [2532] gave [1325] them [846] power over [1849] unclean [169] spirits [4151]; 41 6 8 And [2532] commanded [3853] them [846] that [2443] they should take [142] nothing [3367] for [1519] their journey [3598], save [1508] a staff [4464] only [3440]; no [3361] scrip [4082], no [3361] bread [740], no [3361] money [5475] in [1519] their purse [2223]: 41 6 9 But [235] be shod [5265] with sandals [4547]; and [2532] not [3361] put on [1746] [1746] two [1417] coats [5509]. 41 6 10 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], In what place soever [3699] [1437] ye enter [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], there [1563] abide [3306] till [2193] [302] ye depart [1831] from that place [1564]. 41 6 11 And [2532] whosoever [3745] [302] shall [1209] not [3361] receive [1209] you [5209], nor [3366] hear [191] you [5216], when ye depart [1607] thence [1564], shake off [1621] the dust [5522] under [5270] your [5216] feet [4228] for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Sodom [4670] and [2228] Gomorrha [1116] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172]. 41 6 12 And [2532] they went out [1831], and preached [2784] that [2443] men should repent [3340]. 41 6 13 And [2532] they cast out [1544] many [4183] devils [1140], and [2532] anointed [218] with oil [1637] many [4183] that were sick [732], and [2532] healed [2323] them. 41 6 14 And [2532] king [935] Herod [2264] heard [191] of him; (for [1063] his [846] name [3686] was [1096] spread abroad [5318]:) and [2532] he said [3004], That [3754] John [2491] the Baptist [907] was risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] therefore [1223] [5124] mighty works [1411] do shew forth themselves [1754] in [1722] him [846]. 41 6 15 Others [243] said [3004], That [3754] it is [2076] Elias [2243]. And [1161] others [243] said [3004], That [3754] it is [2076] a prophet [4396], or [2228] as [5613] one of [1520] the prophets [4396]. 41 6 16 But [1161] when Herod [2264] heard [191] thereof, he said [2036], It [3778] is [2076] John [2491], whom [3754] [3739] I [1473] beheaded [607]: he [846] is risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 41 6 17 For [1063] Herod [2264] himself [846] had sent forth [649] and laid hold [2902] upon John [2491], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846] in [1722] prison [5438] for [1223] Herodias [2266]' sake [1223], his [846] brother [80] Philip's [5376] wife [1135]: for [3754] he had married [1060] her [846]. 41 6 18 For [1063] John [2491] had said [3004] unto Herod [2264], [3754] It is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for thee [4671] to have [2192] thy [4675] brother's [80] wife [1135]. 41 6 19 Therefore [1161] Herodias [2266] had a quarrel [1758] against him [846], and [2532] would [2309] have killed [615] him [846]; but [2532] she could [1410] not [3756]: 41 6 20 For [1063] Herod [2264] feared [5399] John [2491], knowing [1492] that he [846] was a just [1342] man [435] and [2532] an holy [40], and [2532] observed [4933] him [846]; and [2532] when he heard [191] him [846], he did [4160] many things [4183], and [2532] heard [191] him [846] gladly [2234]. 41 6 21 And [2532] when a convenient [2121] day [2250] was come [1096], that [3753] Herod [2264] on his [846] birthday [1077] made [4160] a supper [1173] to his [846] lords [3175], [2532] high captains [5506], and [2532] chief [4413] estates of Galilee [1056]; 41 6 22 And [2532] when the daughter [2364] of the said [846] Herodias [2266] came in [1525], and [2532] danced [3738], and [2532] pleased [700] Herod [2264] and [2532] them that sat with him [4873], the king [935] said [2036] unto the damsel [2877], Ask [154] of me [3165] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou wilt [2309], and [2532] I will give [1325] it thee [4671]. 41 6 23 And [2532] he sware [3660] unto her [846], Whatsoever [3754] [3739] [1437] thou shalt ask [154] of me [3165], I will give [1325] it thee [4671], unto [2193] the half [2255] of my [3450] kingdom [932]. 41 6 24 And [1161] she went forth [1831], and said [2036] unto her [846] mother [3384], What [5101] shall I ask [154]? And [1161] she said [2036], The head [2776] of John [2491] the Baptist [910]. 41 6 25 And [2532] she came in [1525] straightway [2112] with [3326] haste [4710] unto [4314] the king [935], and asked [154], saying [3004], I will [2309] that [2443] thou give [1325] me [3427] by and by [1824] in [1909] a charger [4094] the head [2776] of John [2491] the Baptist [910]. 41 6 26 And [2532] the king [935] was [1096] exceeding sorry [4036]; yet for [1223] his oath's sake [3727], and [2532] for their sakes which [3588] sat with him [4873], he would [2309] not [3756] reject [114] her [846]. 41 6 27 And [2532] immediately [2112] the king [935] sent [649] an executioner [4688], and commanded [2004] his [846] head [2776] to be brought [5342]: and [1161] he went [565] and beheaded [607] him [846] in [1722] the prison [5438], 41 6 28 And [2532] brought [5342] his [846] head [2776] in [1909] a charger [4094], and [2532] gave [1325] it [846] to the damsel [2877]: and [2532] the damsel [2877] gave [1325] it [846] to her [846] mother [3384]. 41 6 29 And [2532] when his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] of it, they came [2064] and [2532] took up [142] his [846] corpse [4430], and [2532] laid [5087] it [846] in [1722] a tomb [3419]. 41 6 30 And [2532] the apostles [652] gathered themselves together [4863] unto [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] told [518] him [846] all things [3956], both [2532] what [3745] they had done [4160], and [2532] what [3745] they had taught [1321]. 41 6 31 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Come [1205] ye [5210] yourselves [846] apart [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] rest [373] a while [3641]: for [1063] there were [2258] many [4183] coming [2064] and [2532] going [5217], and [2532] they had no [3761] leisure [2119] so much as [3761] to eat [5315]. 41 6 32 And [2532] they departed [565] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] by ship [4143] privately [2596] [2398]. 41 6 33 And [2532] the people [3793] saw [1492] them [846] departing [5217], and [2532] many [4183] knew [1921] him [846], and [2532] ran [4936] afoot [3979] thither [1563] out of [575] all [3956] cities [4172], and [2532] outwent [4281] them [846], and [2532] came together [4905] unto [4314] him [846]. 41 6 34 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he came out [1831], saw [1492] much [4183] people [3793], and [2532] was moved with compassion [4697] toward [1909] them [846], because [3754] they were [2258] as [5613] sheep [4263] not [3361] having [2192] a shepherd [4166]: and [2532] he began [756] to teach [1321] them [846] many things [4183]. 41 6 35 And [2532] when the day [5610] was [1096] now [2235] far spent [4183], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846], and said [3004], [3754] This is [2076] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] now [2235] the time [5610] is far passed [4183]: 41 6 36 Send [630] them [846] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the country [68] round about [2945], and [2532] into the villages [2968], and buy [59] themselves [1438] bread [740]: for [1063] they have [2192] nothing [5101] [3756] to eat [5315]. 41 6 37 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. And [2532] they say [3004] unto him [846], Shall we go [565] and buy [59] two hundred [1250] pennyworth [1220] of bread [740], and [2532] give [1325] them [846] to eat [5315]? 41 6 38 [1161] He saith [3004] unto them [846], How many [4214] loaves [740] have ye [2192]? go [5217] and [2532] see [1492]. And [2532] when they knew [1097], they say [3004], Five [4002], and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486]. 41 6 39 And [2532] he commanded [2004] them [846] to make [347] all [3956] sit down [347] by companies [4849] [4849] upon [1909] the green [5515] grass [5528]. 41 6 40 And [2532] they sat down [377] in ranks [4237] [4237], by [303] hundreds [1540], and [2532] by [303] fifties [4004]. 41 6 41 And [2532] when he had taken [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], he looked up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], and blessed [2127], and [2532] brake [2622] the loaves [740], and [2532] gave [1325] them to his [846] disciples [3101] to [2443] set before [3908] them [846]; and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486] divided he [3307] among them all [3956]. 41 6 42 And [2532] they did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526]. 41 6 43 And [2532] they took up [142] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] full [4134] of the fragments [2801], and [2532] of [575] the fishes [2486]. 41 6 44 And [2532] they that did eat [5315] of the loaves [740] were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435]. 41 6 45 And [2532] straightway [2112] he constrained [315] his [846] disciples [3101] to get [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], and [2532] to go [4254] to [1519] the other side [4008] before [4254] unto [4314] Bethsaida [966], while [2193] he [846] sent away [630] the people [3793]. 41 6 46 And [2532] when he had sent [657] them [846] away [657], he departed [565] into [1519] a mountain [3735] to pray [4336]. 41 6 47 And [2532] when even [3798] was come [1096], the ship [4143] was [2258] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the sea [2281], and [2532] he [846] alone [3441] on [1909] the land [1093]. 41 6 48 And [2532] he saw [1492] them [846] toiling [928] in [1722] rowing [1643]; for [1063] the wind [417] was [2258] contrary [1727] unto them [846]: and [2532] about [4012] the fourth [5067] watch [5438] of the night [3571] he cometh [2064] unto [4314] them [846], walking [4043] upon [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] would [2309] have passed by [3928] them [846]. 41 6 49 But [1161] when they saw [1492] him [846] walking [4043] upon [1909] the sea [2281], they supposed [1380] it had been [1511] a spirit [5326], and [2532] cried out [349]: 41 6 50 For [1063] they all [3956] saw [1492] him [846], and [2532] were troubled [5015]. And [2532] immediately [2112] he talked [2980] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Be of good cheer [2293]: it is [1510] I [1473]; be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]. 41 6 51 And [2532] he went up [305] unto [4314] them [846] into [1519] the ship [4143]; and [2532] the wind [417] ceased [2869]: and [2532] they were sore [3029] amazed [1839] in [1722] themselves [1438] beyond [1537] measure [4053], and [2532] wondered [2296]. 41 6 52 For [1063] they considered [4920] not [3756] the miracle of [1909] the loaves [740]: for [1063] their [846] heart [2588] was [2258] hardened [4456]. 41 6 53 And [2532] when they had passed over [1276], they came [2064] into [1909] the land [1093] of Gennesaret [1082], and [2532] drew to the shore [4358]. 41 6 54 And [2532] when they [846] were come [1831] out of [1537] the ship [4143], straightway [2112] they knew [1921] him [846], 41 6 55 And ran through [4063] that [1565] whole [3650] region round about [4066], and began [756] to carry about [4064] in [1909] beds [2895] those that were [2192] sick [2560], where [3699] they heard [191] he was [3754] [1563] [2076]. 41 6 56 And [2532] whithersoever [3699] [302] he entered [1531], into [1519] villages [2968], or [2228] cities [4172], or [2228] country [68], they laid [5087] the sick [770] in [1722] the streets [58], and [2532] besought [3870] him [846] that [2443] they might touch [680] if [2579] it were but [2579] the border [2899] of his [846] garment [2440]: and [2532] as many [3745] as [302] touched [680] him [846] were made whole [4982]. 41 7 1 Then [2532] came together [4863] unto [4314] him [846] the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122], which came [2064] from [575] Jerusalem [2414]. 41 7 2 And [2532] when they saw [1492] some [5100] of his [846] disciples [3101] eat [2068] bread [740] with defiled [2839], that is to say [5123], with unwashen [449], hands [5495], they found fault [3201]. 41 7 3 For [1063] the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] all [3956] the Jews [2453], except [3362] they wash [3538] their hands [5495] oft [4435], eat [2068] not [3756], holding [2902] the tradition [3862] of the elders [4245]. 41 7 4 And [2532] when they come from [575] the market [58], except [3362] they wash [907], they eat [2068] not [3756]. And [2532] many [4183] other things [243] there be [2076], which [3739] they have received [3880] to hold [2902], as the washing [909] of cups [4221], and [2532] pots [3582], [2532] brasen vessels [5473], and [2532] of tables [2825]. 41 7 5 Then [1899] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] scribes [1122] asked [1905] him [846], Why [1302] walk [4043] not [3756] thy [4675] disciples [3101] according [2596] to the tradition [3862] of the elders [4245], but [235] eat [2068] bread [740] with unwashen [449] hands [5495]? 41 7 6 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], [3754] Well [2573] hath Esaias [2268] prophesied [4395] of [4012] you [5216] hypocrites [5273], as [5613] it is written [1125], This [3778] people [2992] honoureth [5091] me [3165] with their lips [5491], but [1161] their [846] heart [2588] is [568] far [4206] from [575] me [1700]. 41 7 7 Howbeit [1161] in vain [3155] do they worship [4576] me [3165], teaching [1321] for doctrines [1319] the commandments [1778] of men [444]. 41 7 8 For [1063] laying aside [863] the commandment [1785] of God [2316], ye hold [2902] the tradition [3862] of men [444], as the washing [909] of pots [3582] and [2532] cups [4221]: and [2532] many [4183] other [243] such [5108] like things [3946] ye do [4160]. 41 7 9 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Full well [2573] ye reject [114] the commandment [1785] of God [2316], that [2443] ye may keep [5083] your own [5216] tradition [3862]. 41 7 10 For [1063] Moses [3475] said [2036], Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] thy [4675] mother [3384]; and [2532], Whoso curseth [2551] father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384], let him die [5053] the death [2288]: 41 7 11 But [1161] ye [5210] say [3004], If [1437] a man [444] shall say [2036] to his father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384], It is Corban [2878], that is to say [3603], a gift [1435], by [1537] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou mightest be profited by [5623] me [1700]; he shall be free. 41 7 12 And [2532] ye suffer [863] him [846] no more [3765] to do [4160] ought [3762] for his [846] father [3962] or [2228] his [846] mother [3384]; 41 7 13 Making [208] the word [3056] of God [2316] of none effect [208] through your [5216] tradition [3862], which [3739] ye have delivered [3860]: and [2532] many [4183] such [5108] like things [3946] do ye [4160]. 41 7 14 And [2532] when he had called [4341] all [3956] the people [3793] unto him, he said [3004] unto them [846], Hearken [191] unto me [3450] every one [3956] of you, and [2532] understand [4920]: 41 7 15 There is [2076] nothing [3762] from without [1855] a man [444], that [3739] entering [1531] into [1519] him [846] can [1410] defile [2840] him [846]: but [235] the things which come [1607] out of [575] him [846], those [1565] are they [2076] that defile [2840] the man [444]. 41 7 16 If any man [1536] have [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 41 7 17 And [2532] when [3753] he was entered [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] from [575] the people [3793], his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846] concerning [4012] the parable [3850]. 41 7 18 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Are [2075] ye [5210] so [3779] without understanding [801] also [2532]? Do ye [3539] not [3756] perceive [3539], that [3754] whatsoever thing [3956] from without [1855] entereth [1531] into [1519] the man [444], it cannot [3756] [1410] defile [2840] him [846]; 41 7 19 Because [3754] it entereth [1531] not [3756] into [1519] his [846] heart [2588], but [235] into [1519] the belly [2836], and [2532] goeth out [1607] into [1519] the draught [856], purging [2511] all [3956] meats [1033]? 41 7 20 And [1161] he said [3004], [3754] That which cometh [1607] out of [1537] the man [444], that [1565] defileth [2840] the man [444]. 41 7 21 For [1063] from within [2081], out of [1537] the heart [2588] of men [444], proceed [1607] evil [2556] thoughts [1261], adulteries [3430], fornications [4202], murders [5408], 41 7 22 Thefts [2829], covetousness [4124], wickedness [4189], deceit [1388], lasciviousness [766], an evil [4190] eye [3788], blasphemy [988], pride [5243], foolishness [877]: 41 7 23 All [3956] these [5023] evil things [4190] come [1607] from within [2081], and [2532] defile [2840] the man [444]. 41 7 24 And [2532] from thence [1564] he arose [450], and went [565] into [1519] the borders [3181] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], and [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], and would have [2309] no man [3762] know [1097] it: but [2532] he could [1410] not [3756] be hid [2990]. 41 7 25 For [1063] a certain woman [1135], whose [3739] [846] young daughter [2365] had [2192] an unclean [169] spirit [4151], heard [191] of [4012] him [846], and came [2064] and fell [4363] at [4314] his [846] feet [4228]: 41 7 26 [1161] The woman [1135] was [2258] a Greek [1674], a Syrophenician [4949] by nation [1085]; and [2532] she besought [2065] him [846] that [2443] he would cast forth [1544] the devil [1140] out of [1537] her [846] daughter [2364]. 41 7 27 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto her [846], Let [863] the children [5043] first [4412] be filled [5526]: for [1063] it is [2076] not [3756] meet [2570] to take [2983] the children's [5043] bread [740], and [2532] to cast [906] it unto the dogs [2952]. 41 7 28 And [1161] she answered [611] and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], Yes [3483], Lord [2962]: yet [2532] [1063] the dogs [2952] under [5270] the table [5132] eat [2068] of [575] the children's [3813] crumbs [5589]. 41 7 29 And [2532] he said [2036] unto her [846], For [1223] this [5126] saying [3056] go thy way [5217]; the devil [1140] is gone [1831] out of [1537] thy [4675] daughter [2364]. 41 7 30 And [2532] when she was come [565] to [1519] her [846] house [3624], she found [2147] the devil [1140] gone out [1831], and [2532] her daughter [2364] laid [906] upon [1909] the bed [2825]. 41 7 31 And [2532] again [3825], departing [1831] from [1537] the coasts [3725] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], he came [2064] unto [4314] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], through [303] the midst [3319] of the coasts [3725] of Decapolis [1179]. 41 7 32 And [2532] they bring [5342] unto him [846] one that was deaf [2974], and had an impediment in his speech [3424]; and [2532] they beseech [3870] him [846] to [2443] put [2007] his hand [5495] upon him [846]. 41 7 33 And [2532] he took [618] him [846] aside [2596] [2398] from [575] the multitude [3793], and put [906] his [846] fingers [1147] into [1519] his [846] ears [3775], and [2532] he spit [4429], and touched [680] his [846] tongue [1100]; 41 7 34 And [2532] looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he sighed [4727], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Ephphatha [2188], that is [3603], Be opened [1272]. 41 7 35 And [2532] straightway [2112] his [846] ears [189] were opened [1272], and [2532] the string [1199] of his [846] tongue [1100] was loosed [3089], and [2532] he spake [2980] plain [3723]. 41 7 36 And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846] that [2443] they should tell [2036] no man [3367]: but [1161] the more [3745] he [846] charged [1291] them [846], so much the more [3123] a great deal [4054] they published [2784] it; 41 7 37 And [2532] were beyond measure [5249] astonished [1605], saying [3004], He hath done [4160] all things [3956] well [2573]: he maketh [4160] both [2532] the deaf [2974] to hear [191], and [2532] the dumb [216] to speak [2980]. 41 8 1 In [1722] those [1565] days [2250] the multitude [3793] being [5607] very great [3827], and [2532] having [2192] nothing [3361] [5101] to eat [5315], Jesus [2424] called [4341] his [846] disciples [3101] unto him, and saith [3004] unto them [846], 41 8 2 I have compassion [4697] on [1909] the multitude [3793], because [3754] they have [4357] now [2235] been [4357] with me [3427] three [5140] days [2250], and [2532] have [2192] nothing [3756] [5101] to eat [5315]: 41 8 3 And [2532] if [1437] I send [630] them [846] away [630] fasting [3523] to [1519] their own [846] houses [3624], they will faint [1590] by [1722] the way [3598]: for [1063] divers [5100] of them [846] came [2240] from far [3113]. 41 8 4 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] answered [611] him [846], From whence [4159] can [1410] a man [5100] satisfy [5526] these [5128] men with bread [740] here [5602] in [1909] the wilderness [2047]? 41 8 5 And [2532] he asked [1905] them [846], How many [4214] loaves [740] have ye [2192]? And [1161] they said [2036], Seven [2033]. 41 8 6 And [2532] he commanded [3853] the people [3793] to sit down [377] on [1909] the ground [1093]: and [2532] he took [2983] the seven [2033] loaves [740], and gave thanks [2168], and brake [2806], and [2532] gave [1325] to his [846] disciples [3101] to [2443] set before [3908] them; and [2532] they did set them before [3908] the people [3793]. 41 8 7 And [2532] they had [2192] a few [3641] small fishes [2485]: and [2532] he blessed [2127], and commanded [2036] to set [3908] them [846] also [2532] before [3908] them. 41 8 8 So [1161] they did eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526]: and [2532] they took up [142] of the broken [2801] meat that was left [4051] seven [2033] baskets [4711]. 41 8 9 And [1161] they that had eaten [5315] were [2258] about [5613] four thousand [5070]: and [2532] he sent [630] them [846] away [630]. 41 8 10 And [2532] straightway [2112] he entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101], and came [2064] into [1519] the parts [3313] of Dalmanutha [1148]. 41 8 11 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] came forth [1831], and [2532] began [756] to question [4802] with him [846], seeking [2212] of [3844] him [846] a sign [4592] from [575] heaven [3772], tempting [3985] him [846]. 41 8 12 And [2532] he sighed deeply [389] in his [846] spirit [4151], and saith [3004], Why [5101] doth [1934] this [3778] generation [1074] seek after [1934] a sign [4592]? verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], There shall no [1487] sign [4592] be given [1325] unto this [5026] generation [1074]. 41 8 13 And [2532] he left [863] them [846], and entering [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143] again [3825] departed [565] to [1519] the other side [4008]. 41 8 14 Now [2532] the disciples had forgotten [1950] to take [2983] bread [740], neither [2532] [3756] had [2192] they in [1722] the ship [4143] with [3326] them [1438] more than [1508] one [1520] loaf [740]. 41 8 15 And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846], saying [3004], Take heed [3708], beware [991] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] of the leaven [2219] of Herod [2264]. 41 8 16 And [2532] they reasoned [1260] among [4314] themselves [240], saying [3004], It is because [3754] we have [2192] no [3756] bread [740]. 41 8 17 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] knew [1097] it, he saith [3004] unto them [846], Why [5101] reason ye [1260], because [3754] ye have [2192] no [3756] bread [740]? perceive ye [3539] not yet [3768], neither [3761] understand [4920]? have ye [2192] your [5216] heart [2588] yet [2089] hardened [4456]? 41 8 18 Having [2192] eyes [3788], see ye [991] not [3756]? and [2532] having [2192] ears [3775], hear ye [191] not [3756]? and [2532] do ye [3421] not [3756] remember [3421]? 41 8 19 When [3753] I brake [2806] the five [4002] loaves [740] among [1519] five thousand [4000], how many [4214] baskets [2894] full [4134] of fragments [2801] took ye up [142]? They say [3004] unto him [846], Twelve [1427]. 41 8 20 And [1161] when [3753] the seven [2033] among [1519] four thousand [5070], how many [4214] baskets [4711] full [4138] of fragments [2801] took ye up [142]? And [1161] they said [2036], Seven [2033]. 41 8 21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], How [4459] is it that ye do [4920] not [3756] understand [4920]? 41 8 22 And [2532] he cometh [2064] to [1519] Bethsaida [966]; and [2532] they bring [5342] a blind man [5185] unto him [846], and [2532] besought [3870] him [846] to [2443] touch [680] him [846]. 41 8 23 And [2532] he took [1949] the blind man [5185] by the hand [5495], and led [1806] him [846] out of [1854] the town [2968]; and [2532] when he had spit [4429] on [1519] his [846] eyes [3659], and put [2007] his hands [5495] upon him [846], he asked [1905] him [846] if [1536] he saw [991] ought [1536]. 41 8 24 And [2532] he looked up [308], and said [3004], [3754] I see [991] men [444] as [5613] [3708] trees [1186], walking [4043]. 41 8 25 After [1534] that he put [2007] his hands [5495] again [3825] upon [1909] his [846] eyes [3788], and [2532] made [4160] him [846] look up [308]: and [2532] he was restored [600], and [2532] saw [1689] every man [537] clearly [5081]. 41 8 26 And [2532] he sent [649] him [846] away [649] to [1519] his [846] house [3624], saying [3004], Neither [3366] go [1525] into [1519] the town [2968], nor [3366] tell [2036] it to any [5100] in [1722] the town [2968]. 41 8 27 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went out [1831], and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101], into [1519] the towns [2968] of Caesarea [2542] Philippi [5376]: and [2532] by [1722] the way [3598] he asked [1905] his [846] disciples [3101], saying [3004] unto them [846], Whom [5101] do [3004] men [444] say [3004] that I [3165] am [1511]? 41 8 28 And [1161] they answered [611], John [2491] the Baptist [910]: but [1161] some [243] say, Elias [2243]; and [2532] others [243], One [1520] of the prophets [4396]. 41 8 29 And [2532] he [846] saith [3004] unto them [846], But [1161] whom [5101] say [3004] ye [5210] that I [3165] am [1511]? And [1161] Peter [4074] answereth [611] and saith [3004] unto him [846], Thou [4771] art [1488] the Christ [5547]. 41 8 30 And [2532] he charged [2008] them [846] that [2443] they should tell [3004] no man [3367] of [4012] him [846]. 41 8 31 And [2532] he began [756] to teach [1321] them [846], that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] the elders [4245], and [2532] of the chief priests [749], and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be killed [615], and [2532] after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] rise again [450]. 41 8 32 And [2532] he spake [2980] that saying [3056] openly [3954]. And [2532] Peter [4074] took [4355] him [846], and began [756] to rebuke [2008] him [846]. 41 8 33 But [1161] when he had turned about [1994] and [2532] looked [1492] on his [846] disciples [3101], he rebuked [2008] Peter [4074], saying [3004], Get thee [5217] behind [3694] me [3450], Satan [4567]: for [3754] thou savourest [5426] not [3756] the things that be of God [2316], but [235] the things that be of men [444]. 41 8 34 And [2532] when he had called [4341] the people [3793] unto him with [4862] his [846] disciples [3101] also, he said [2036] unto them [846], Whosoever [3748] will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427]. 41 8 35 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] shall lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for [1752] my sake [1700] and [2532] the gospel's [2098], the same [3778] shall save [4982] it [846]. 41 8 36 For [1063] what [5101] shall it profit [5623] a man [444], if [1437] he shall gain [2770] the whole [3650] world [2889], and [2532] lose [2210] his own [846] soul [5590]? 41 8 37 Or [2228] what [5101] shall [1325] a man [444] give [1325] in exchange [465] for his [846] soul [5590]? 41 8 38 Whosoever [3739] [302] therefore [1063] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056] in [1722] this [5026] adulterous [3428] and [2532] sinful [268] generation [1074]; of him [846] also [2532] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he cometh [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] the holy [40] angels [32]. 41 9 1 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] there be [1526] some [5100] of them that stand [2476] here [5602], which [3748] shall [1089] not [3364] taste [1089] of death [2288], till [2193] [302] they have seen [1492] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] come [2064] with [1722] power [1411]. 41 9 2 And [2532] after [3326] six [1803] days [2250] Jesus [2424] taketh [3880] with him Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] leadeth [399] them [846] up [399] into [1519] an high [5308] mountain [3735] apart [2596] [2398] by themselves [3441]: and [2532] he was transfigured [3339] before [1715] them [846]. 41 9 3 And [2532] his [846] raiment [2440] became [1096] shining [4744], exceeding [3029] white [3022] as [5613] snow [5510]; so as [3634] no [3756] fuller [1102] on [1909] earth [1093] can [1410] white [3021] them. 41 9 4 And [2532] there appeared [3700] unto them [846] Elias [2243] with [4862] Moses [3475]: and [2532] they were [2258] talking [4814] with Jesus [2424]. 41 9 5 And [2532] Peter [4074] answered [611] and said [3004] to Jesus [2424], Master [4461], it is [2076] good [2570] for us [2248] to be [1511] here [5602]: and [2532] let us make [4160] three [5140] tabernacles [4633]; one [3391] for thee [4671], and [2532] one [3391] for Moses [3475], and [2532] one [3391] for Elias [2243]. 41 9 6 For [1063] he wist [1492] not [3756] what [5101] to say [2980]; for [1063] they were sore [2258] afraid [1630]. 41 9 7 And [2532] there was [1096] a cloud [3507] that overshadowed [1982] them [846]: and [2532] a voice [5456] came [2064] out of [1537] the cloud [3507], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207]: hear [191] him [846]. 41 9 8 And [2532] suddenly [1819], when they had looked round about [4017], they saw [1492] no man [3762] any more [3765], save [235] Jesus [2424] only [3441] with [3326] themselves [1438]. 41 9 9 And [1161] as they [846] came down [2597] from [575] the mountain [3735], he charged [1291] them [846] that [2443] they should tell [1334] no man [3367] what things [3739] they had seen [1492], till [1508] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] were risen [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 41 9 10 And [2532] they kept [2902] that saying [3056] with [4314] themselves [1438], questioning one with another [4802] what [5101] the rising [450] from [1537] the dead [3498] should mean [2076]. 41 9 11 And [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Why [3754] say [3004] the scribes [1122] that [3754] Elias [2243] must [1163] first [4412] come [2064]? 41 9 12 And [1161] he answered [611] and told [2036] them [846], Elias [2243] verily [3303] cometh [2064] first [4412], and restoreth [600] all things [3956]; and [2532] how [4459] it is written [1125] of [1909] the Son [5207] of man [444], that [2443] he must suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be set at nought [1847]. 41 9 13 But [235] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] Elias [2243] is [2064] indeed [2532] come [2064], and [2532] they have done [4160] unto him [846] whatsoever [3745] they listed [2309], as [2531] it is written [1125] of [1909] him [846]. 41 9 14 And [2532] when he came [2064] to [4314] his disciples [3101], he saw [1492] a great [4183] multitude [3793] about [4012] them [846], and [2532] the scribes [1122] questioning [4802] with them [846]. 41 9 15 And [2532] straightway [2112] all [3956] the people [3793], when they beheld [1492] him [846], were greatly amazed [1568], and [2532] running to [4370] him saluted [782] him [846]. 41 9 16 And [2532] he asked [1905] the scribes [1122], What [5101] question ye [4802] with [4314] them [846]? 41 9 17 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the multitude [3793] answered [611] and said [2036], Master [1320], I have brought [5342] unto [4314] thee [4571] my [3450] son [5207], which hath [2192] a dumb [216] spirit [4151]; 41 9 18 And [2532] wheresoever [3699] [302] he taketh [2638] him [846], he teareth [4486] him [846]: and [2532] he foameth [875], and [2532] gnasheth [5149] with his [846] teeth [3599], and [2532] pineth away [3583]: and [2532] I spake [2036] to thy [4675] disciples [3101] that [2443] they should cast [1544] him [846] out [1544]; and [2532] they could [2480] not [3756]. 41 9 19 He answereth [611] him [846], and [1161] saith [3004], O [5599] faithless [571] generation [1074], how long [2193] [4219] shall I be [2071] with [4314] you [5209]? how long [2193] [4219] shall I suffer [430] you [5216]? bring [5342] him [846] unto [4314] me [3165]. 41 9 20 And [2532] they brought [5342] him [846] unto [4314] him [846]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], straightway [2112] the spirit [4151] tare [4682] him [846]; and [2532] he fell [4098] on [1909] the ground [1093], and wallowed [2947] foaming [875]. 41 9 21 And [2532] he asked [1905] his [846] father [3962], How long [4214] is it [2076] ago [5550] since [5613] this [5124] came [1096] unto him [846]? And [1161] he said [2036], Of a child [3812]. 41 9 22 And [2532] ofttimes [4178] it hath cast [906] him [846] into [2532] [1519] the fire [4442], and [2532] into [1519] the waters [5204], to [2443] destroy [622] him [846]: but [235] if [1536] thou canst [1410] do any thing [1536], have compassion [4697] on [1909] us [2248], and help [997] us [2254]. 41 9 23 [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], If [1487] thou canst [1410] believe [4100], all things [3956] are possible [1415] to him [846] that believeth [4100]. 41 9 24 And [2532] straightway [2112] the father [3962] of the child [3813] cried out [2896], and said [3004] with [3326] tears [1144], Lord [2962], I believe [4100]; help thou [997] mine [3450] unbelief [570]. 41 9 25 When [1161] Jesus [2424] saw [1492] that [3754] the people [3793] came running together [1998], he rebuked [2008] the foul [169] spirit [4151], saying [3004] unto him [846], Thou dumb [216] and [2532] deaf [2974] spirit [4151], I [1473] charge [2004] thee [4671], come [1831] out of [1537] him [846], and [2532] enter [1525] no more [3371] into [1519] him [846]. 41 9 26 And [2532] the spirit cried [2896], and [2532] rent [4682] him [846] sore [4183], and came out of him [1831]: and [2532] he was [1096] as [5616] one dead [3498]; insomuch [5620] that [3754] many [4183] said [3004], He is dead [599]. 41 9 27 But [1161] Jesus [2424] took [2902] him [846] by the hand [5495], and lifted [1453] him [846] up [1453]; and [2532] he arose [450]. 41 9 28 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1525] into [1519] the house [3624], his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846] privately [2596] [2398], Why [3754] could [1410] not [3756] we [2249] cast [1544] him [846] out [1544]? 41 9 29 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], This [5124] kind [1085] can [1410] come forth [1831] by [1722] nothing [3762], but [1508] by [1722] prayer [4335] and [2532] fasting [3521]. 41 9 30 And [2532] they departed [1831] thence [1564], and passed [3899] through [1223] Galilee [1056]; and [2532] he would [2309] not [3756] that [2443] any man [5100] should know [1097] it. 41 9 31 For [1063] he taught [1321] his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] said [3004] unto them [846], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] is delivered [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of men [444], and [2532] they shall kill [615] him [846]; and [2532] after that he is killed [615], he shall rise [450] the third [5154] day [2250]. 41 9 32 But [1161] they understood not [50] that saying [4487], and [2532] were afraid [5399] to ask [1905] him [846]. 41 9 33 And [2532] he came [2064] to [1519] Capernaum [2584]: and [2532] being [1096] in [1722] the house [3614] he asked [1905] them [846], What [5101] was it that ye disputed [1260] among [4314] yourselves [1438] by [1722] the way [3598]? 41 9 34 But [1161] they held their peace [4623]: for [1063] by [1722] the way [3598] they had disputed [1256] among [4314] themselves [240], who [5101] should be the greatest [3187]. 41 9 35 And [2532] he sat down [2523], and called [5455] the twelve [1427], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], If any man [1536] desire [2309] to be [1511] first [4413], the same shall be [2071] last [2078] of all [3956], and [2532] servant [1249] of all [3956]. 41 9 36 And [2532] he took [2983] a child [3813], and set [2476] him [846] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846]: and [2532] when he had taken [1723] him [846] in his arms [1723], he said [2036] unto them [846], 41 9 37 Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] one [1520] of such [5108] children [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], receiveth [1209] me [1691]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] me [1691], receiveth [1209] not [3756] me [1691], but [235] him that sent [649] me [3165]. 41 9 38 And [1161] John [2491] answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], we saw [1492] one [5100] casting out [1544] devils [1140] in thy [4675] name [3686], and [3739] he followeth [190] not [3756] us [2254]: and [2532] we forbad [2967] him [846], because [3754] he followeth [190] not [3756] us [2254]. 41 9 39 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Forbid [2967] him [846] not [3361]: for [1063] there is [2076] no man [3762] which [3739] shall do [4160] a miracle [1411] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], that [2532] can [1410] lightly [5035] speak evil [2551] of me [3165]. 41 9 40 For [1063] he that [3739] is [2076] not [3756] against [2596] us [2257] is [2076] on [5228] our [2257] part [5228]. 41 9 41 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall give [4222] you [5209] a cup [4221] of water [5204] to drink [4222] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], because [3754] ye belong [2075] to Christ [5547], verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], he shall [622] not [3364] lose [622] his [846] reward [3408]. 41 9 42 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] shall offend [4624] one [1520] of these little ones [3398] that believe [4100] in [1519] me [1691], it is [2076] better [2570] [3123] for him [846] that [1487] a millstone [3037] [3457] were hanged [4029] about [4012] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] he were cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]. 41 9 43 And [2532] if [1437] thy [4675] hand [5495] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [609] it [846] off [609]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] life [2222] maimed [2948], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] hands [5495] to go [565] into [1519] hell [1067], into [1519] the fire [4442] that never shall be quenched [762]: 41 9 44 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570]. 41 9 45 And [2532] if [1437] thy [4675] foot [4228] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [609] it [846] off [609]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] halt [5560] into [1519] life [2222], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] feet [4228] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067], into [1519] the fire [4442] that never shall be quenched [762]: 41 9 46 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570]. 41 9 47 And [2532] if [1437] thine [4675] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1544] it [846] out [1544]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] with one eye [3442], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] eyes [3788] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442]: 41 9 48 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570]. 41 9 49 For [1063] every one [3956] shall be salted [233] with fire [4442], and [2532] every [3956] sacrifice [2378] shall be salted [233] with salt [251]. 41 9 50 Salt [217] is good [2570]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost [1096] his saltness [358], wherewith [1722] [5101] will ye season [741] it [846]? Have [2192] salt [217] in [1722] yourselves [1438], and [2532] have peace [1514] one [240] with [1722] another [240]. 41 10 1 And [2547] he arose [450] from thence [2547], and cometh [2064] into [1519] the coasts [3725] of Judaea [2449] by [1223] the farther side [4008] of Jordan [2446]: and [2532] the people [3793] resort [4848] unto [4314] him [846] again [3825]; and [2532], as [5613] he was wont [1486], he taught [1321] them [846] again [3825]. 41 10 2 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] came to him [4334], and asked [1905] him [846], Is it [1487] lawful [1832] for a man [435] to put away [630] his wife [1135]? tempting [3985] him [846]. 41 10 3 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], What [5101] did Moses [3475] command [1781] you [5213]? 41 10 4 And [1161] they said [2036], Moses [3475] suffered [2010] to write [1125] a bill [975] of divorcement [647], and [2532] to put her away [630]. 41 10 5 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], For [4314] the hardness [4641] of your [5216] heart [4641] he wrote [1125] you [5213] this [5026] precept [1785]. 41 10 6 But [1161] from [575] the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] God [2316] made [4160] them [846] male [730] and [2532] female [2338]. 41 10 7 For this cause [1752] [5127] shall [2641] a man [444] leave [2641] his [846] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] cleave [4347] to [4314] his [846] wife [1135]; 41 10 8 And [2532] they twain [1417] shall be [2071] one [1519] [3391] flesh [4561]: so then [5620] they are [1526] no more [3765] twain [1417], but [235] one [3391] flesh [4561]. 41 10 9 What [3739] therefore [3767] God [2316] hath joined together [4801], let [5563] not [3361] man [444] put asunder [5563]. 41 10 10 And [2532] in [1722] the house [3614] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846] again [3825] of [4012] the same [846] matter. 41 10 11 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] marry [1060] another [243], committeth adultery [3429] against [1909] her [846]. 41 10 12 And [2532] if [1437] a woman [1135] shall put away [630] her [846] husband [435], and [2532] be married [1060] to another [243], she committeth adultery [3429]. 41 10 13 And [2532] they brought [4374] young children [3813] to him [846], that [2443] he should touch [680] them [846]: and [1161] his disciples [3101] rebuked [2008] those that brought [4374] them. 41 10 14 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] it, he was much displeased [23], and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Suffer [863] the little children [3813] to come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] forbid [2967] them [846] not [3361]: for [1063] of such [5108] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 41 10 15 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Whosoever [3739] shall [1209] not [3362] receive [1209] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] as [5613] a little child [3813], he shall [1525] not [3364] enter [1525] therein [1519] [846]. 41 10 16 And [2532] he took [1723] them [846] up in his arms [1723], put [5087] his hands [5495] upon [1909] them [846], and blessed [2127] them [846]. 41 10 17 And [2532] when he was gone forth [1607] into [1519] the way [846] [3598], there came [4370] one [1520] running [4370], and [2532] kneeled [1120] to him [846], and asked [1905] him [846], Good [18] Master [1320], what [5101] shall I do [4160] that [2443] I may inherit [2816] eternal [166] life [2222]? 41 10 18 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Why [5101] callest thou [3004] me [3165] good [18]? there is none [3762] good [18] but [1508] one [1520], that is, God [2316]. 41 10 19 Thou knowest [1492] the commandments [1785], Do [3431] not [3361] commit adultery [3431], Do [5407] not [3361] kill [5407], Do [2813] not [3361] steal [2813], Do [5576] not [3361] bear false witness [5576], Defraud [650] not [3361], Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384]. 41 10 20 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1320], all [3956] these [5023] have I observed [5442] from [1537] my [3450] youth [3503]. 41 10 21 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] beholding [1689] him [846] loved [25] him [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], One thing [1520] thou [4671] lackest [5302]: go thy way [5217], sell [4453] whatsoever [3745] thou hast [2192], and [2532] give [1325] to the poor [4434], and [2532] thou shalt have [2192] treasure [2344] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] come [1204], take up [142] the cross [4716], and follow [190] me [3427]. 41 10 22 And [1161] he was sad [4768] at [1909] that saying [3056], and went away [565] grieved [3076]: for [1063] he had [2192] [2258] great [4183] possessions [2933]. 41 10 23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] looked round about [4017], and saith [3004] unto his [846] disciples [3101], How [4459] hardly [1423] shall they that have [2192] riches [5536] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]! 41 10 24 And [1161] the disciples [3101] were astonished [2284] at [1909] his [846] words [3056]. But [1161] Jesus [2424] answereth [611] again [3825], and saith [3004] unto them [846], Children [5043], how [4459] hard [1422] is it [2076] for them that trust [3982] in [1909] riches [5536] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]! 41 10 25 It is [2076] easier [2123] for a camel [2574] to go [1525] [1330] through [1223] the eye [5168] of a needle [4476], than [2228] for a rich man [4145] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 41 10 26 And [1161] they were astonished [1605] out of measure [4057], saying [3004] among [4314] themselves [1438], [2532] Who [5101] then can [1410] be saved [4982]? 41 10 27 And [1161] Jesus [2424] looking upon [1689] them [846] saith [3004], With [3844] men [444] it is impossible [102], but [235] not [3756] with [3844] God [2316]: for [1063] with [3844] God [2316] all things [3956] are [2076] possible [1415]. 41 10 28 Then [2532] Peter [4074] began [756] to say [3004] unto him [846], Lo [2400], we [2249] have left [863] all [3956], and [2532] have followed [190] thee [4671]. 41 10 29 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], There is [2076] no man [3762] that [3739] hath left [863] house [3614], or [2228] brethren [80], or [2228] sisters [79], or [2228] father [3962], or [2228] mother [3384], or [2228] wife [1135], or [2228] children [5043], or [2228] lands [68], for my [1700] sake [1752], and [2532] the gospel's [2098], 41 10 30 But [3362] he shall receive [2983] an hundredfold [1542] now [3568] in [1722] this [5129] time [2540], houses [3614], and [2532] brethren [80], and [2532] sisters [79], and [2532] mothers [3384], and [2532] children [5043], and [2532] lands [68], with [3326] persecutions [1375]; and [2532] in [1722] the world [165] to come [2064] eternal [166] life [2222]. 41 10 31 But [1161] many [4183] that are first [4413] shall be [2071] last [2078]; and [2532] the last [2078] first [4413]. 41 10 32 And [1161] they were [2258] in [1722] the way [3598] going up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]; and [2532] Jesus [2424] went [2258] before [4254] them [846]: and [2532] they were amazed [2284]; and [2532] as they followed [190], they were afraid [5399]. And [2532] he took [3880] again [3825] the twelve [1427], and began [756] to tell [3004] them [846] what things should [3195] happen [4819] unto him [846], 41 10 33 Saying, [3754] Behold [2400], we go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]; and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall be delivered [3860] unto the chief priests [749], and [2532] unto the scribes [1122]; and [2532] they shall condemn [2632] him [846] to death [2288], and [2532] shall deliver [3860] him [846] to the Gentiles [1484]: 41 10 34 And [2532] they shall mock [1702] him [846], and [2532] shall scourge [3146] him [846], and [2532] shall spit upon [1716] him [846], and [2532] shall kill [615] him [846]: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450]. 41 10 35 And [2532] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], the sons [5207] of Zebedee [2199], come [4365] unto him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], we would [2309] that [2443] thou shouldest do [4160] for us [2254] whatsoever [3739] [1437] we shall desire [154]. 41 10 36 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], What [5101] would [2309] ye that I [3165] should do [4160] for you [5213]? 41 10 37 [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Grant [1325] unto us [2254] that [2443] we may sit [2523], one [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] right hand [1188], and [2532] the other [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] left hand [2176], in [1722] thy [4675] glory [1391]. 41 10 38 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Ye know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] ye ask [154]: can ye [1410] drink [4095] of the cup [4221] that [3739] I [1473] drink of [4095]? and [2532] be baptized [907] with the baptism [908] that [3739] I [1473] am baptized with [907]? 41 10 39 And [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], We can [1410]. And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Ye shall [4095] indeed [3303] drink [4095] of the cup [4221] that [3739] I [1473] drink of [4095]; and [2532] with the baptism [908] that [3739] I [1473] am baptized withal [907] shall ye be baptized [907]: 41 10 40 But [1161] to sit [2523] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188] and [2532] on [1537] my [3450] left hand [2176] is [2076] not [3756] mine [1699] to give [1325]; but [235] it shall be given to them for whom [3739] it is prepared [2090]. 41 10 41 And [2532] when the ten [1176] heard [191] it, they began [756] to be much displeased [23] with [4012] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491]. 41 10 42 But [1161] Jesus [2424] called [4341] them [846] to him, and saith [3004] unto them [846], Ye know [1492] that [3754] they which are accounted [1380] to rule [757] over the Gentiles [1484] exercise lordship [2634] over them [846]; and [2532] their [846] great ones [3173] exercise authority [2715] upon them [846]. 41 10 43 But [1161] so [3779] shall it [2071] not [3756] be [2071] among [1722] you [5213]: but [235] whosoever [3739] [1437] will [2309] be [1096] great [3173] among [1722] you [5213], shall be [2071] your [5216] minister [1249]: 41 10 44 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] of you [5216] will [2309] be [1096] the chiefest [4413], shall be [2071] servant [1401] of all [3956]. 41 10 45 For [1063] even [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] came [2064] not [3756] to be ministered unto [1247], but [235] to minister [1247], and [2532] to give [1325] his [846] life [5590] a ransom [3083] for [473] many [4183]. 41 10 46 And [2532] they came [2064] to [1519] Jericho [2410]: and [2532] as he [846] went [1607] out of [575] Jericho [2410] with [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] and [2532] a great [2425] number of people [3793], blind [5185] Bartimaeus [924], the son [5207] of Timaeus [5090], sat [2521] by [3844] the highway side [3598] begging [4319]. 41 10 47 And [2532] when he heard [191] that [3754] it was [2076] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], he began [756] to cry out [2896], and [2532] say [3004], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of David [1138], have mercy [1653] on me [3165]. 41 10 48 And [2532] many [4183] charged [2008] him [846] that [2443] he should hold his peace [4623]: but [1161] he cried [2896] the more [3123] a great deal [4183], Thou Son [5207] of David [1138], have mercy [1653] on me [3165]. 41 10 49 And [2532] Jesus [2424] stood still [2476], and commanded [2036] him [846] to be called [5455]. And [2532] they call [5455] the blind man [5185], saying [3004] unto him [846], Be of good comfort [2293], rise [1453]; he calleth [5455] thee [4571]. 41 10 50 And [1161] he, casting away [577] his [846] garment [2440], rose [450], and came [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. 41 10 51 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [3004] unto him [846], What [5101] wilt [2309] thou that I should do [4160] unto thee [4671]? [1161] The blind man [5185] said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [4462], that [2443] I might receive my sight [308]. 41 10 52 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Go thy way [5217]; thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]. And [2532] immediately [2112] he received his sight [308], and [2532] followed [190] Jesus [2424] in [1722] the way [3598]. 41 11 1 And [2532] when [3753] they came nigh [1448] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], unto [1519] Bethphage [967] and [2532] Bethany [963], at [4314] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], he sendeth forth [649] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101], 41 11 2 And [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Go your way [5217] into [1519] the village [2968] over against [2713] you [5216]: and [2532] as soon as [2112] ye be entered [1531] into [1519] it [846], ye shall find [2147] a colt [4454] tied [1210], whereon [1909] [3739] never [3762] man [444] sat [2523]; loose [3089] him [846], and bring [71] him. 41 11 3 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] say [2036] unto you [5213], Why [5101] do ye [4160] this [5124]? say ye [2036] that [3754] the Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of him [846]; and [2532] straightway [2112] he will send [649] him [846] hither [5602]. 41 11 4 And [1161] they went their way [565], and [2532] found [2147] the colt [4454] tied [1210] by [4314] the door [2374] without [1854] in [1909] a place where two ways met [296]; and [2532] they loose [3089] him [846]. 41 11 5 And [2532] certain of them [5100] that stood [2476] there [1563] said [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] do ye [4160], loosing [3089] the colt [4454]? 41 11 6 And [1161] they said [2036] unto them [846] even as [2531] Jesus [2424] had commanded [1781]: and [2532] they let [863] them [846] go [863]. 41 11 7 And [2532] they brought [71] the colt [4454] to [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] cast [1911] their [846] garments [2440] on [1911] him [846]; and [2532] he sat [2523] upon [1909] him [846]. 41 11 8 And [1161] many [4183] spread [4766] their [846] garments [2440] in [1519] the way [3598]: and [1161] others [243] cut down [2875] branches [4746] off [1537] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1519] the way [3598]. 41 11 9 And [2532] they that went before [4254], and [2532] they that followed [190], cried [2896], saying [3004], Hosanna [5614]; Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]: 41 11 10 Blessed [2127] be the kingdom [932] of our [2257] father [3962] David [1138], that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]: Hosanna [5614] in [1722] the highest [5310]. 41 11 11 And [2532] Jesus [2424] entered [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] into [1519] the temple [2411]: and [2532] when he had looked round about upon [4017] all things [3956], and now [2235] the eventide [3798] [5610] was come [5607], he went out [1831] unto [1519] Bethany [963] with [3326] the twelve [1427]. 41 11 12 And [2532] on the morrow [1887], when they [846] were come [1831] from [575] Bethany [963], he was hungry [3983]: 41 11 13 And [2532] seeing [1492] a fig tree [4808] afar off [3113] having [2192] leaves [5444], he came [2064], if [1487] haply [686] he might find [2147] any thing [5100] thereon [1722] [846]: and [2532] when he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], he found [2147] nothing [3762] but [1508] leaves [5444]; for [1063] the time [2540] of figs [4810] was [2258] not [3756] yet. 41 11 14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto it [846], No man [3367] eat [5315] fruit [2590] of [1537] thee [4675] hereafter [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] it. 41 11 15 And [2532] they come [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411], and began [756] to cast out [1544] them that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them [846] that sold [4453] doves [4058]; 41 11 16 And [2532] would [863] not [3756] suffer [863] that [2443] any man [5100] should carry [1308] any vessel [4632] through [1223] the temple [2411]. 41 11 17 And [2532] he taught [1321], saying [3004] unto them [846], Is it [1125] not [3756] written [1125], [3754] My [3450] house [3624] shall be called [2564] of all [3956] nations [1484] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]? but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027]. 41 11 18 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] chief priests [749] heard [191] it, and [2532] sought [2212] how [4459] they might destroy [622] him [846]: for [1063] they feared [5399] him [846], because [3754] all [3956] the people [3793] was astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322]. 41 11 19 And [2532] when [3753] even [3796] was come [1096], he went [1607] out of [1854] the city [4172]. 41 11 20 And [2532] in the morning [4404], as they passed by [3899], they saw [1492] the fig tree [4808] dried up [3583] from [1537] the roots [4491]. 41 11 21 And [2532] Peter [4074] calling to remembrance [363] saith [3004] unto him [846], Master [4461], behold [2396], the fig tree [4808] which [3739] thou cursedst [2672] is withered away [3583]. 41 11 22 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] saith [3004] unto them [846], Have [2192] faith [4102] in God [2316]. 41 11 23 For [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; and [2532] shall [1252] not [3361] doubt [1252] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588], but [235] shall believe [4100] that [3754] those things which [3739] he saith [3004] shall come to pass [1096]; he [846] shall have [2071] whatsoever [3739] [1437] he saith [2036]. 41 11 24 Therefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], What [3745] things [3956] soever [302] ye desire [154], when ye pray [4336], believe [4100] that [3754] ye receive [2983] them, and [2532] ye [5213] shall have [2071] them. 41 11 25 And [2532] when [3752] ye stand [4739] praying [4336], forgive [863], if [1536] ye have [2192] ought [1536] against [2596] any [5100]: that [2443] your [5216] Father [3962] also [2532] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] may forgive [863] you [5213] your [5216] trespasses [3900]. 41 11 26 But [1161] if [1487] ye [5210] do [863] not [3756] forgive [863], neither [3761] will [863] your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] forgive [863] your [5216] trespasses [3900]. 41 11 27 And [2532] they come [2064] again [3825] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] as he [846] was walking [4043] in [1722] the temple [2411], there come [2064] to [4314] him [846] the chief priests [749], and [2532] the scribes [1122], and [2532] the elders [4245], 41 11 28 And [2532] say [3004] unto him [846], By [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] doest thou [4160] these things [5023]? and [2532] who [5101] gave [1325] thee [4671] this [5026] authority [1849] to [2443] do [4160] these things [5023]? 41 11 29 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], I will [1905] also [2504] ask [1905] of you [5209] one [1520] question [3056], and [2532] answer [611] me [3427], and [2532] I will tell [2046] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] these things [5023]. 41 11 30 The baptism [908] of John [2491], was [2258] it from [1537] heaven [3772], or [2228] of [1537] men [444]? answer [611] me [3427]. 41 11 31 And [2532] they reasoned [3049] with [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004], If [1437] we shall say [2036], From [1537] heaven [3772]; he will say [2046], Why [1302] then [3767] did ye [4100] not [3756] believe [4100] him [846]? 41 11 32 But [235] if [1437] we shall say [2036], Of [1537] men [444]; they feared [5399] the people [2992]: for [1063] all [537] men counted [2192] John [2491], that [3754] he was [2258] a prophet [4396] indeed [3689]. 41 11 33 And [2532] they answered [611] and said [3004] unto Jesus [2424], We [1492] cannot [3756] tell [1492]. And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] saith [3004] unto them [846], Neither [3761] do I [1473] tell [3004] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] these things [5023]. 41 12 1 And [2532] he began [756] to speak [3004] unto them [846] by [1722] parables [3850]. A certain man [444] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] set [4060] an hedge about [5418] it, and [2532] digged [3736] a place for the winefat [5276], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589]. 41 12 2 And [2532] at the season [2540] he sent [649] to [4314] the husbandmen [1092] a servant [1401], that [2443] he might receive [2983] from [3844] the husbandmen [1092] of [575] the fruit [2590] of the vineyard [290]. 41 12 3 And [1161] they caught [2983] him, and beat [1194] him [846], and [2532] sent him away [649] empty [2756]. 41 12 4 And [2532] again [3825] he sent [649] unto [4314] them [846] another [243] servant [1401]; and at him [2548] they cast stones [3036], and wounded him in the head [2775], and [2532] sent him away [649] shamefully handled [821]. 41 12 5 And [2532] again [3825] he sent [649] another [243]; and him [2548] they killed [615], and [2532] many [4183] others [243]; [3303] beating some [1194], and [1161] killing some [615]. 41 12 6 Having [2192] yet [2089] therefore [3767] one [1520] son [5207], his [846] wellbeloved [27], he sent [649] him [846] also [2532] last [2078] unto [4314] them [846], saying [3004], [3754] They will reverence [1788] my [3450] son [5207]. 41 12 7 But [1161] those [1565] husbandmen [1092] said [2036] among [4314] themselves [1438], This [3754] [3778] is [2076] the heir [2818]; come [1205], let us kill [615] him [846], and [2532] the inheritance [2817] shall be [2071] ours [2257]. 41 12 8 And [2532] they took [2983] him [846], and killed [615] him, and [2532] cast [1544] him out of [1854] the vineyard [290]. 41 12 9 What [5101] shall [4160] therefore [3767] the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290] do [4160]? he will come [2064] and [2532] destroy [622] the husbandmen [1092], and [2532] will give [1325] the vineyard [290] unto others [243]. 41 12 10 And have ye [314] not [3761] read [314] this [5026] scripture [1124]; The stone [3037] which [3739] the builders [3618] rejected [593] is [3778] [1096] become [1519] the head [2776] of the corner [1137]: 41 12 11 This [3778] was [1096] the Lord's [2962] doing [1096] [3844], and [2532] it is [2076] marvellous [2298] in [1722] our [2257] eyes [3788]? 41 12 12 And [2532] they sought [2212] to lay hold [2902] on him [846], but [2532] feared [5399] the people [3793]: for [1063] they knew [1097] that [3754] he had spoken [2036] the parable [3850] against [4314] them [846]: and [2532] they left [863] him [846], and went their way [565]. 41 12 13 And [2532] they send [649] unto [4314] him [846] certain [5100] of the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] of the Herodians [2265], to [2443] catch [64] him [846] in his words [3056]. 41 12 14 And [1161] when they were come [2064], they say [3004] unto him [846], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou art [1488] true [227], and [2532] [4671] carest [3756] [3199] for [4012] no man [3762]: for [1063] thou regardest [991] not [3756] the person [1519] [4383] of men [444], but [235] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] in [1909] truth [225]: Is it lawful [1832] to give [1325] tribute [2778] to Caesar [2541], or [2228] not [3756]? 41 12 15 Shall we give [1325], or [2228] shall we not [3361] give [1325]? But [1161] he, knowing [1492] their [846] hypocrisy [5272], said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] tempt ye [3985] me [3165]? bring [5342] me [3427] a penny [1220], that [2443] I may see [1492] it. 41 12 16 And [1161] they brought [5342] it. And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Whose [5101] is this [3778] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923]? And [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], Caesar's [2541]. 41 12 17 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], Render [591] to Caesar [2541] the things that are [3588] Caesar's [2541], and [2532] to God [2316] the things that are [3588] God's [2316]. And [2532] they marvelled [2296] at [1909] him [846]. 41 12 18 Then [2532] come [2064] unto [4314] him [846] the Sadducees [4523], which [3748] say [3004] there is [1511] no [3361] resurrection [386]; and [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], 41 12 19 Master [1320], Moses [3475] wrote [1125] unto us [2254], If [3754] [1437] a man's [5100] brother [80] die [599], and [2532] leave [2641] his wife [1135] behind him, and [2532] leave [863] no [3361] children [5043], that [2443] his [846] brother [80] should take [2983] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [1817] seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80]. 41 12 20 Now there were [2258] seven [2033] brethren [80]: and [2532] the first [4413] took [2983] a wife [1135], and [2532] dying [599] left [863] no [3756] seed [4690]. 41 12 21 And [2532] the second [1208] took [2983] her [846], and [2532] died [599], [2532] neither [3761] left [863] he [846] any seed [4690]: and [2532] the third [5154] likewise [5615]. 41 12 22 And [2532] the seven [2033] had [2983] her [846], and [2532] left [863] no [3756] seed [4690]: last [2078] of all [3956] the woman [1135] died [599] also [2532]. 41 12 23 In [1722] the resurrection [386] therefore [3767], when [3752] they shall rise [450], whose [5101] wife [1135] shall she be [2071] of them [846]? for [1063] the seven [2033] had [2192] her [846] to wife [1135]. 41 12 24 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], Do ye [4105] not [3756] therefore [1223] [5124] err [4105], because ye know [1492] not [3361] the scriptures [1124], neither [3366] the power [1411] of God [2316]? 41 12 25 For [1063] when [3752] they shall rise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498], they neither [3777] marry [1060], nor [3777] are given in marriage [1061]; but [235] are [1526] as [5613] the angels [32] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772]. 41 12 26 And [1161] as touching [4012] the dead [3498], that [3754] they rise [1453]: have ye [314] not [3756] read [314] in [1722] the book [976] of Moses [3475], how [5613] in [1909] the bush [942] God [2316] spake [2036] unto him [846], saying [3004], I [1473] am the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]? 41 12 27 He is [2076] not [3756] the God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] the God [2316] of the living [2198]: ye [5210] therefore [3767] do [4105] greatly [4183] err [4105]. 41 12 28 And [2532] one [1520] of the scribes [1122] came [4334], and having heard [191] them [846] reasoning together [4802], and perceiving [1492] that [3754] he had answered [611] them [846] well [2573], asked [1905] him [846], Which [4169] is [2076] the first [4413] commandment [1785] of all [3956]? 41 12 29 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], The [3754] first [4413] of all [3956] the commandments [1785] is, Hear [191], O Israel [2474]; The Lord [2962] our [2257] God [2316] is [2076] one [1520] Lord [2962]: 41 12 30 And [2532] thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] strength [2479]: this [3778] is the first [4413] commandment [1785]. 41 12 31 And [2532] the second [1208] is like [3664], namely this [3778] [846], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572]. There is [2076] none [3756] other [243] commandment [1785] greater [3187] than these [5130]. 41 12 32 And [2532] the scribe [1122] said [2036] unto him [846], Well [2573], Master [1320], thou hast said [2036] the [1909] truth [225]: for [3754] there is [2076] one [1520] God [2316]; and [2532] there is [2076] none [3756] other [243] but [4133] he [846]: 41 12 33 And [2532] to love [25] him [846] with [1537] all [3650] the heart [2588], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] the understanding [4907], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] the soul [5590], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] the strength [2479], and [2532] to love [25] his neighbour [4139] as [5613] himself [1438], is [2076] more [4119] than all [3956] whole burnt offerings [3646] and [2532] sacrifices [2378]. 41 12 34 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] that [3754] he [846] answered [611] discreetly [3562], he said [2036] unto him [846], Thou art [1488] not [3756] far [3112] from [575] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. And [2532] no man [3762] after that [3765] durst [5111] ask [1905] him [846] any question. 41 12 35 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [3004], while he taught [1321] in [1722] the temple [2411], How [4459] say [3004] the scribes [1122] that [3754] Christ [5547] is [2076] the Son [5207] of David [1138]? 41 12 36 For [1063] David [1138] himself [846] said [2036] by [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], The LORD [2962] said [2036] to my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]. 41 12 37 David [1138] therefore [3767] himself [846] calleth [3004] him [846] Lord [2962]; and [2532] whence [4159] is he [2076] then his [846] son [5207]? And [2532] the common [4183] people [3793] heard [191] him [846] gladly [2234]. 41 12 38 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846] in [1722] his [846] doctrine [1322], Beware [991] of [575] the scribes [1122], which [3588] love [2309] to go [4043] in [1722] long clothing [4749], and [2532] love salutations [783] in [1722] the marketplaces [58], 41 12 39 And [2532] the chief seats [4410] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], and [2532] the uppermost rooms [4411] at [1722] feasts [1173]: 41 12 40 Which devour [2719] widows [5503]' houses [3614], and [2532] for a pretence [4392] make [4336] long [3117] prayers [4336]: these [3778] shall receive [2983] greater [4055] damnation [2917]. 41 12 41 And [2532] Jesus [2424] sat [2523] over against [2713] the treasury [1049], and beheld [2334] how [4459] the people [3793] cast [906] money [5475] into [1519] the treasury [1049]: and [2532] many [4183] that were rich [4145] cast in [906] much [4183]. 41 12 42 And [2532] there came [2064] a certain [3391] poor [4434] widow [5503], and she threw in [906] two [1417] mites [3016], which make [3603] a farthing [2835]. 41 12 43 And [2532] he called [4341] unto him his [846] disciples [3101], and saith [3004] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] this [3778] poor [4434] widow [5503] hath cast [906] more [4119] in [906], than all [3956] they which have cast [906] into [1519] the treasury [1049]: 41 12 44 For [1063] all [3956] they did cast in [906] of [1537] their [846] abundance [4052]; but [1161] she [3778] [846] of [1537] her [846] want [5304] did cast in [906] all [3956] that [3745] she had [2192], even all [3650] her [846] living [979]. 41 13 1 And [2532] as he [846] went [1607] out of [1537] the temple [2411], one [1520] of his [846] disciples [3101] saith [3004] unto him [846], Master [1320], see [2396] what manner [4217] of stones [3037] and [2532] what [4217] buildings [3619] are here! 41 13 2 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], Seest thou [991] these [5025] great [3173] buildings [3619]? there shall [863] not [3364] be left [863] one stone [3037] upon [1909] another [3037], that [3739] shall [2647] not [3364] be thrown down [2647]. 41 13 3 And [2532] as he [846] sat [2521] upon [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636] over against [2713] the temple [2411], Peter [4074] and [2532] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491] and [2532] Andrew [406] asked [1905] him [846] privately [2596] [2398], 41 13 4 Tell [2036] us [2254], when [4219] shall these things [5023] be [2071]? and [2532] what [5101] shall be the sign [4592] when [3752] all [3956] these things [5023] shall [3195] be fulfilled [4931]? 41 13 5 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] them [846] began [756] to say [3004], Take heed [991] lest [3361] any [5100] man deceive [4105] you [5209]: 41 13 6 For [1063] many [4183] shall come [2064] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], saying [3004], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] Christ; and [2532] shall deceive [4105] many [4183]. 41 13 7 And [1161] when [3752] ye shall hear [191] of wars [4171] and [2532] rumours [189] of wars [4171], be ye [2360] not [3361] troubled [2360]: for [1063] such things must [1163] needs be [1096]; but [235] the end [5056] shall not be yet [3768]. 41 13 8 For [1063] nation [1484] shall rise [1453] against [1909] nation [1484], and [2532] kingdom [932] against [1909] kingdom [932]: and [2532] there shall be [2071] earthquakes [4578] in divers [2596] places [5117], and [2532] there shall be [2071] famines [3042] and [2532] troubles [5016]: these [5023] are the beginnings [746] of sorrows [5604]. 41 13 9 But [1161] take heed [5210] [991] to yourselves [1438]: for [1063] they shall deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860] to [1519] councils [4892]; and [2532] in [1519] the synagogues [4864] ye shall be beaten [1194]: and [2532] ye shall be brought [2476] [71] before [1909] rulers [2232] and [2532] kings [935] for my [1700] sake [1752], for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846]. 41 13 10 And [2532] the gospel [2098] must [1163] first [4412] be published [2784] among [1519] all [3956] nations [1484]. 41 13 11 But [1161] when [3752] they shall lead [71] you, and deliver [3860] you [5209] up [3860], take [4305] no [3361] thought beforehand [4305] what [5101] ye shall speak [2980], neither [3366] do ye premeditate [3191]: but [235] whatsoever [3739] shall be [1437] given [1325] you [5213] in [1722] that [1565] hour [5610], that [5124] speak [2980] ye: for [1063] it is [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] that speak [2980], but [235] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 41 13 12 Now [1161] the brother [80] shall betray [3860] the brother [80] to [1519] death [2288], and [2532] the father [3962] the son [5043]; and [2532] children [5043] shall rise up [1881] against [1909] their parents [1118], and [2532] shall cause [2289] them [846] to be put to death [2289]. 41 13 13 And [2532] ye shall be [2071] hated [3404] of [5259] all [3956] men for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [1223] [3686]: but [1161] he that shall endure [5278] unto [1519] the end [5056], the same [3778] shall be saved [4982]. 41 13 14 But [1161] when [3752] ye shall see [1492] the abomination [946] of desolation [2050], spoken [4483] of by [5259] Daniel [1158] the prophet [4396], standing [2476] [2476] where [3699] it ought [1163] not [3756], (let him that readeth [314] understand [3539] then [5119] let them [5343] that be in [1722] Judaea [2449] flee [5343] to [1519] the mountains [3735]: 41 13 15 And [1161] let him [2597] that is on [1909] the housetop [1430] not [3361] go down [2597] into [1519] the house [3614], neither [3366] enter [1525] therein, to take [142] any thing [5100] out of [1537] his [846] house [3614]: 41 13 16 And [2532] let [1994] him that is [5607] in [1519] the field [68] not [3361] turn [1519] [1994] back [3694] again [1994] for to take up [142] his [846] garment [2440]. 41 13 17 But [1161] woe [3759] to them that are [2192] with [1722] child [1064], and [2532] to them that give suck [2337] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250]! 41 13 18 And [1161] pray ye [4336] that [3363] your [5216] flight [5437] be [1096] not [3363] in the winter [5494]. 41 13 19 For [1063] in those [1565] days [2250] shall be [2071] affliction [2347], such [5108] as [3634] was [1096] not [3756] from [575] the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] which [3739] God [2316] created [2936] unto [2193] this time [3568], neither [2532] [3364] shall be [1096]. 41 13 20 And [2532] except [1508] that the Lord [2962] had shortened [2856] those days [2250], no [3756] [3956] flesh [4561] should be [302] saved [4982]: but [235] for [1223] the elect's sake [1588], whom [3739] he hath chosen [1586], he hath shortened [2856] the days [2250]. 41 13 21 And [2532] then [5119] if [1437] any man [5100] shall say [2036] to you [5213], Lo [2400], here [5602] is Christ [5547]; or [2228], lo [2400], he is there [1563]; believe [4100] him not [3361]: 41 13 22 For [1063] false Christs [5580] and [2532] false prophets [5578] shall rise [1453], and [2532] shall shew [1325] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059], to [4314] seduce [635], if [1487] it were possible [1415], even [2532] the elect [1588]. 41 13 23 But [1161] take [991] ye [5210] heed [991]: behold [2400], I have foretold [4280] you [5213] all things [3956]. 41 13 24 But [235] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], after [3326] that [1565] tribulation [2347], the sun [2246] shall be darkened [4654], and [2532] the moon [4582] shall [1325] not [3756] give [1325] her [846] light [5338], 41 13 25 And [2532] the stars [792] of heaven [3772] shall [2071] fall [1601], and [2532] the powers [1411] that are in [1722] heaven [3772] shall be shaken [4531]. 41 13 26 And [2532] then [5119] shall they see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] the clouds [3507] with [3326] great [4183] power [1411] and [2532] glory [1391]. 41 13 27 And [2532] then [5119] shall he send [649] his [846] angels [32], and [2532] shall gather together [1996] his [846] elect [1588] from [1537] the four [5064] winds [417], from [575] the uttermost part [206] of the earth [1093] to [2193] the uttermost part [206] of heaven [3772]. 41 13 28 Now [1161] learn [3129] a parable [3850] of [575] the fig tree [4808]; When [3752] her [846] branch [2798] is [1096] yet [2235] tender [527], and [2532] putteth forth [1631] leaves [5444], ye know [1097] that [3754] summer [2330] is [2076] near [1451]: 41 13 29 So [3779] ye [5210] in like manner [2532], when [3752] ye shall see [1492] these things [5023] come to pass [1096], know [1097] that [3754] it is [2076] nigh [1451], even at [1909] the doors [2374]. 41 13 30 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] this [3778] generation [1074] shall [3928] not [3364] pass [3928], till [3360] [3739] all [3956] these things [5023] be done [1096]. 41 13 31 Heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] shall pass away [3928]: but [1161] my [3450] words [3056] shall [3928] not [3364] pass away [3928]. 41 13 32 But [1161] of [4012] that [1565] day [2250] and [2532] that hour [5610] knoweth [1492] no man [3762], no, not [3761] the angels [32] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], neither [3761] the Son [5207], but [1508] the Father [3962]. 41 13 33 Take ye heed [991], watch [69] and [2532] pray [4336]: for [1063] ye know [1492] not [3756] when [4219] the time [2540] is [2076]. 41 13 34 For the Son of man is as [5613] a man [444] taking a far journey [590], who left [863] his [846] house [3614], and [2532] gave [1325] authority [1849] to his [846] servants [1401], and [2532] to every man [1538] his [846] work [2041], and [2532] commanded [1781] the porter [2377] to [2443] watch [1127]. 41 13 35 Watch ye [1127] therefore [3767]: for [1063] ye know [1492] not [3756] when [4219] the master [2962] of the house [3614] cometh [2064], at even [3796], or [2228] at midnight [3317], or [2228] at the cockcrowing [219], or [2228] in the morning [4404]: 41 13 36 Lest [3361] coming [2064] suddenly [1810] he find [2147] you [5209] sleeping [2518]. 41 13 37 And [1161] what [3739] I say [3004] unto you [5213] I say [3004] unto all [3956], Watch [1127]. 41 14 1 After [1161] two [1417] days [2250] was [2258] the feast of the passover [3957], and [2532] of [3326] unleavened bread [106]: and [2532] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] sought [2212] how [4459] they might take [2902] him [846] by [1722] craft [1388], and put him to death [615]. 41 14 2 But [1161] they said [3004], Not [3361] on [1722] the feast [1859] day, lest [3379] there be [2071] an uproar [2351] of the people [2992]. 41 14 3 And [2532] being [846] [5607] in [1722] Bethany [963] in [1722] the house [3614] of Simon [4613] the leper [3015], as he [846] sat at meat [2621], there came [2064] a woman [1135] having [2192] an alabaster box [211] of ointment [3464] of spikenard [3487] [4101] very precious [4185]; and [2532] she brake [4937] the box [211], and poured [2708] it on [2596] his [846] head [2776]. 41 14 4 And [1161] there were [2258] some [5100] that had indignation [23] within [4314] themselves [1438], and [2532] said [3004], Why [1519] [5101] was [1096] this [3778] waste [684] of the ointment [3464] made [1096]? 41 14 5 For [1063] it [5124] might [1410] have been sold [4097] for more than [1883] three hundred [5145] pence [1220], and [2532] have been given [1325] to the poor [4434]. And [2532] they murmured against [1690] her [846]. 41 14 6 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Let [863] her [846] alone [863]; why [5101] trouble ye [2873] [3930] her [846]? she hath wrought [2038] a good [2570] work [2041] on [1519] me [1691]. 41 14 7 For [1063] ye have [2192] the poor [4434] with [3326] you [1438] always [3842], and [2532] whensoever [3752] ye will [2309] ye may [1410] do [4160] them [846] good [2095]: but [1161] me [1691] ye have [2192] not [3756] always [3842]. 41 14 8 She hath done [4160] what [3739] she [3778] [846] could [2192]: she is come aforehand [4301] to anoint [3462] my [3450] body [4983] to [1519] the burying [1780]. 41 14 9 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Wheresoever [3699] [302] this [5124] gospel [2098] shall be preached [2784] throughout [1519] the whole [3650] world [2889], this also [2532] that [3739] she [3778] [846] hath done [4160] shall be spoken [2980] of for [1519] a memorial [3422] of her [846]. 41 14 10 And [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], one [1520] of the twelve [1427], went [565] unto [4314] the chief priests [749], to [2443] betray [3860] him [846] unto them [846]. 41 14 11 And [1161] when they heard [191] it, they were glad [5463], and [2532] promised [1861] to give [1325] him [846] money [694]. And [2532] he sought [2212] how [4459] he might conveniently [2122] betray [3860] him [846]. 41 14 12 And [2532] the first [4413] day [2250] of unleavened bread [106], when [3753] they killed [2380] the passover [3957], his [846] disciples [3101] said [3004] unto him [846], Where [4226] wilt thou [2309] that we go [565] and prepare [2090] that [2443] thou mayest eat [5315] the passover [3957]? 41 14 13 And [2532] he sendeth forth [649] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Go ye [5217] into [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] there shall meet [528] you [5213] a man [444] bearing [941] a pitcher [2765] of water [5204]: follow [190] him [846]. 41 14 14 And [2532] wheresoever [3699] [1437] he shall go in [1525], say ye [2036] to the goodman of the house [3617], [3754] The Master [1320] saith [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] the guestchamber [2646], where [3699] I shall eat [5315] the passover [3957] with [3326] my [3450] disciples [3101]? 41 14 15 And [2532] he [846] will shew [1166] you [5213] a large [3173] upper room [508] furnished [4766] and prepared [2092]: there [1563] make ready [2090] for us [2254]. 41 14 16 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] went forth [1831], and [2532] came [2064] into [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] found [2147] as [2531] he had said [2036] unto them [846]: and [2532] they made ready [2090] the passover [3957]. 41 14 17 And [2532] in [1096] the evening [3798] he cometh [2064] with [3326] the twelve [1427]. 41 14 18 And [2532] as they [846] sat [345] and [2532] did eat [2068], Jesus [2424] said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] One [1520] of [1537] you [5216] which [3588] eateth [2068] with [3326] me [1700] shall betray [3860] me [3165]. 41 14 19 And [1161] they began [756] to be sorrowful [3076], and to [2532] say [3004] unto him [846] one by one [1527], [3385] Is it I [1473]? and [2532] another [243] said, [3385] Is it I [1473]? 41 14 20 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], It is one [1520] of [1537] the twelve [1427], that dippeth [1686] with [3326] me [1700] in [1519] the dish [5165]. 41 14 21 The Son [5207] of man [444] indeed [3303] goeth [5217], as [2531] it is written [1125] of [4012] him [846]: but [1161] woe [3759] to that [1565] man [444] by [1223] whom [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] ! good [2570] were it [2258] for that [1565] man [444] if [1487] he [846] had [1080] never [3756] been born [1080]. 41 14 22 And [2532] as they [846] did eat [2068], Jesus [2424] took [2983] bread [740], and blessed [2127], and brake [2806] it, and [2532] gave [1325] to them [846], and [2532] said [2036], Take [2983], eat [5315]: this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] body [4983]. 41 14 23 And [2532] he took [2983] the cup [4221], and when he had given thanks [2168], he gave [1325] it to them [846]: and [2532] they all [3956] drank [4095] of [1537] it [846]. 41 14 24 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], This [5124] is [2076] my [3450] blood [129] of the new [2537] testament [1242], which [3588] is shed [1632] for [4012] many [4183]. 41 14 25 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], I will [3364] drink [4095] no more [3754] [3765] of [1537] the fruit [1081] of the vine [288], until [2193] that [1565] day [2250] that [3752] I drink [4095] it [846] new [2537] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 41 14 26 And [2532] when they had sung an hymn [5214], they went out [1831] into [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636]. 41 14 27 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], [3754] All ye [3956] shall be offended [4624] because of [1722] me [1722] [1698] this [5026] night [3571]: for [3754] it is written [1125], I will smite [3960] the shepherd [4166], and [2532] the sheep [4263] shall be scattered [1287]. 41 14 28 But [235] after [3326] that I [3165] am risen [1453], I will go before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]. 41 14 29 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [5346] unto him [846], Although [2532] [1487] all [3956] shall be offended [4624], yet [235] will not [3756] I [1473]. 41 14 30 And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], That [3754] this day [4594], even in [1722] this [5026] night [3571], before [4250] [2228] the cock [220] crow [5455] twice [1364], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. 41 14 31 But [1161] he spake [3004] the more [3123] vehemently [1537] [4053], If [1437] I [3165] should [1163] die with [4880] thee [4671], I will not [3364] deny [533] thee [4571] in any wise [3364]. Likewise [5615] also [1161] [2532] said they [3004] all [3956]. 41 14 32 And [2532] they came [2064] to [1519] a place [5564] which [3739] was named [3686] Gethsemane [1068]: and [2532] he saith [3004] to his [846] disciples [3101], Sit ye [2523] here [5602], while [2193] I shall pray [4336]. 41 14 33 And [2532] he taketh [3880] with [3326] him [1438] Peter [4074] and [2532] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] began [756] to be sore amazed [1568], and [2532] to be very heavy [85]; 41 14 34 And [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], My [3450] soul [5590] is [2076] exceeding sorrowful [4036] unto [2193] death [2288]: tarry ye [3306] here [5602], and [2532] watch [1127]. 41 14 35 And [2532] he went forward [4281] a little [3397], and fell [4098] on [1909] the ground [1093], and [2532] prayed [4336] that [2443], if [1487] it were [2076] possible [1415], the hour [5610] might pass [3928] from [575] him [846]. 41 14 36 And [2532] he said [3004], Abba [5], Father [3962], all things [3956] are possible [1415] unto thee [4671]; take away [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [235] not [3756] what [5101] I [1473] will [2309], but [235] what [5101] thou [4771] wilt. 41 14 37 And [2532] he cometh [2064], and [2532] findeth [2147] them [846] sleeping [2518], and [2532] saith [3004] unto Peter [4074], Simon [4613], sleepest thou [2518]? couldest [2480] not [3756] thou watch [1127] one [3391] hour [5610]? 41 14 38 Watch ye [1127] and [2532] pray [4336], lest [3363] ye enter [1525] into [1519] temptation [3986]. The spirit [4151] truly [3303] is ready [4289], but [1161] the flesh [4561] is weak [772]. 41 14 39 And [2532] again [3825] he went away [565], and prayed [4336], and spake [2036] the same [846] words [3056]. 41 14 40 And [2532] when he returned [5290], he found [2147] them [846] asleep [2518] again [3825], (for [1063] their [846] eyes [3788] were [2258] heavy [916] neither [2532] [3756] wist they [1492] what [5101] to answer [611] him [846]. 41 14 41 And [2532] he cometh [2064] the third time [5154], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Sleep on [2518] now [3063], and [2532] take your rest [373]: it is enough [566], the hour [5610] is come [2064]; behold [2400], the Son [5207] of man [444] is betrayed [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinners [268]. 41 14 42 Rise up [1453], let us go [71]; lo [2400], he that betrayeth [3860] me [3165] is at hand [1448]. 41 14 43 And [2532] immediately [2112], while he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], cometh [3854] Judas [2455], one [1520] [5607] of the twelve [1427], and [2532] with [3326] him [846] a great [4183] multitude [3793] with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] staves [3586], from [3844] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the elders [4245]. 41 14 44 And [1161] he that betrayed [3860] him [846] had given [1325] them [846] a token [4953], saying [3004], Whomsoever [3739] [302] I shall kiss [5368], that same [846] is he [2076]; take [2902] him [846], and [2532] lead him away [520] safely [806]. 41 14 45 And [2532] as soon as he was come [2064], he goeth [4334] straightway [2112] to him [846], and saith [3004], Master [4461], master [4461]; and [2532] kissed [2705] him [846]. 41 14 46 And [1161] they laid [1911] their [846] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846], and [2532] took [2902] him [846]. 41 14 47 And [1161] one [5100] of them [1520] that stood by [3936] drew [4685] a sword [3162], and smote [3817] a servant [1401] of the high priest [749], and [2532] cut off [851] his [846] ear [5621]. 41 14 48 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Are ye come out [1831], as [5613] against [1909] a thief [3027], with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] with staves [3586] to take [4815] me [3165]? 41 14 49 I was [2252] daily [2250] [2596] with [4314] you [5209] in [1722] the temple [2411] teaching [1321], and [2532] ye took [2902] me [3165] not [3756]: but [235] the scriptures [1124] must [2443] be fulfilled [4137]. 41 14 50 And [2532] they all [3956] forsook [863] him [846], and fled [5343]. 41 14 51 And [2532] there followed [190] him [846] a [1520] certain [5100] young man [3495], having a linen cloth [4616] cast [4016] about [1909] his naked [1131] body; and [2532] the young men [3495] laid hold [2902] on him [846]: 41 14 52 And [1161] he left [2641] the linen cloth [4616], and fled [5343] from [575] them [846] naked [1131]. 41 14 53 And [2532] they led [520] Jesus [2424] away [520] to [4314] the high priest [749]: and [2532] with him [846] were assembled [4905] all [3956] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the elders [4245] and [2532] the scribes [1122]. 41 14 54 And [2532] Peter [4074] followed [190] him [846] afar [3113] off [575], even [2193] into [2080] [1519] the palace [833] of the high priest [749]: and [2532] he sat [2258] [4775] with [3326] the servants [5257], and [2532] warmed himself [2328] at [4314] the fire [5457]. 41 14 55 And [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] all [3650] the council [4892] sought [2212] for witness [3141] against [2596] Jesus [2424] to [1519] put [2289] him [846] to death [2289]; and [2532] found [2147] none [3756]. 41 14 56 For [1063] many [4183] bare false witness [5576] against [2596] him [846], but [2532] their witness [3141] agreed [2258] not [2470] [3756] together [2258]. 41 14 57 And [2532] there arose [450] certain [5100], and bare false witness [5576] against [2596] him [846], saying [3004], 41 14 58 [3754] We [2249] heard [191] him [846] say [3004], [3754] I [1473] will destroy [2647] this [5126] temple [3485] that is made with hands [5499], and [2532] within [1223] three [5140] days [2250] I will build [3618] another [243] made without hands [886]. 41 14 59 But [2532] neither [3761] so [3779] did [2470] their [846] witness [3141] agree together [2258] [2470]. 41 14 60 And [2532] the high priest [749] stood up [450] in [1519] the midst [3319], and asked [1905] Jesus [2424], saying [3004], Answerest [3756] thou [611] nothing [3762]? what [5101] is it which these [3778] witness [2649] against thee [4675]? 41 14 61 But [1161] he held his peace [4623], and [2532] answered [611] nothing [3762]. Again [3825] the high priest [749] asked [1905] him [846], and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of the Blessed [2128]? 41 14 62 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], I [1473] am [1510]: and [2532] ye shall see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] sitting [2521] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of power [1411], and [2532] coming [2064] in [3326] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772]. 41 14 63 Then [1161] the high priest [749] rent [1284] his [846] clothes [5509], and saith [3004], What [5101] need [5532] we [2192] any further [2089] witnesses [3144]? 41 14 64 Ye have heard [191] the blasphemy [988]: what [5101] think [5316] ye [5213]? And [1161] they all [3956] condemned [2632] him [846] to be [1511] guilty [1777] of death [2288]. 41 14 65 And [2532] some [5100] began [756] to spit [1716] on him [846], and [2532] to cover [4028] his [846] face [4383], and [2532] to buffet [2852] him [846], and [2532] to say [3004] unto him [846], Prophesy [4395]: and [2532] the servants [5257] did strike [906] him [846] with the palms of their hands [4475]. 41 14 66 And [2532] as Peter [4074] was [5607] beneath [2736] in [1722] the palace [833], there cometh [2064] one [3391] of the maids [3814] of the high priest [749]: 41 14 67 And [2532] when she saw [1492] Peter [4074] warming himself [2328], she looked [1689] upon him [846], and said [3004], And [2532] thou [4771] also [2532] wast [2258] with [3326] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3479]. 41 14 68 But [1161] he denied [720], saying [3004], I know [1492] not [3756], neither [3761] understand I [1987] what [5101] thou [4771] sayest [3004]. And [2532] he went [1831] out [1854] into [1519] the porch [4259]; and [2532] the cock [220] crew [5455]. 41 14 69 And [2532] a maid [3814] saw [1492] him [846] again [3825], and began [756] to say [3004] to them that stood by [3936], This [3754] [3778] is [2076] one of [1537] them [846]. 41 14 70 And [1161] he denied it [720] again [3825]. And [2532] a little [3397] after [3326], they that stood by [3936] said [3004] again [3825] to Peter [4074], Surely [230] thou art [1488] one of [1537] them [846]: for [2532] [1063] thou art [1488] a Galilaean [1057], and [2532] thy [4675] speech [2981] agreeth [3662] thereto. 41 14 71 But [1161] he began [756] to curse [332] and [2532] to swear [3660], saying, I know [3754] [1492] not [3756] this [5126] man [444] of whom [3739] ye speak [3004]. 41 14 72 And [2532] the [1537] second time [1208] the cock [220] crew [5455]. And [2532] Peter [4074] called to mind [363] the word [4487] that [3739] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], [3754] Before [4250] the cock [220] crow [5455] twice [1364], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. And [2532] when he thought thereon [1911], he wept [2799]. 41 15 1 And [2532] straightway [2112] in [1909] the morning [4404] the chief priests [749] held [4160] a consultation [4824] with [3326] the elders [4245] and [2532] scribes [1122] and [2532] the whole [3650] council [4892], and bound [1210] Jesus [2424], and carried him away [667], and [2532] delivered [3860] him to Pilate [4091]. 41 15 2 And [2532] Pilate [4091] asked [1905] him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? And [1161] he answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou [4771] sayest [3004] it. 41 15 3 And [2532] the chief priests [749] accused [2723] him [846] of many things [4183]: but [1161] he [846] answered [611] nothing [3762]. 41 15 4 And [1161] Pilate [4091] asked [1905] him [846] again [3825], saying [3004], Answerest thou [611] nothing [3756] [3762]? behold [2396] how many things [4214] they witness [2649] against thee [4675]. 41 15 5 But [1161] Jesus [2424] yet [3765] answered [611] nothing [3762]; so [5620] that Pilate [4091] marvelled [2296]. 41 15 6 Now [1161] at [2596] that feast [1859] he released [630] unto them [846] one [1520] prisoner [1198], whomsoever [3746] they desired [154]. 41 15 7 And [1161] there was [2258] one named [3004] Barabbas [912], which lay bound [1210] with [3326] them that had made insurrection with him [4955], who [3748] had committed [4160] murder [5408] in [1722] the insurrection [4714]. 41 15 8 And [2532] the multitude [3793] crying aloud [310] began [756] to desire [154] him to do as [2531] he had ever [104] done [4160] unto them [846]. 41 15 9 But [1161] Pilate [4091] answered [611] them [846], saying [3004], Will ye [2309] that I release [630] unto you [5213] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? 41 15 10 For [1063] he knew [1097] that [3754] the chief priests [749] had delivered [3860] him [846] for [1223] envy [5355]. 41 15 11 But [1161] the chief priests [749] moved [383] the people [3793], that [2443] he should rather [3123] release [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846]. 41 15 12 And [1161] Pilate [4091] answered [611] and said [2036] again [3825] unto them [846], What [5101] will ye [2309] then [3767] that I shall do [4160] unto him whom [3739] ye call [3004] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? 41 15 13 And [1161] they cried out [2896] again [3825], Crucify [4717] him [846]. 41 15 14 Then [1161] Pilate [4091] said [3004] unto them [846], Why [1063], what [5101] evil [2556] hath he done [4160]? And [1161] they cried out [2896] the more exceedingly [4056], Crucify [4717] him [846]. 41 15 15 And [1161] so Pilate [4091], willing [1014] to content [2425] [4160] the people [3793], released [630] Barabbas [912] unto them [846], and [2532] delivered [3860] Jesus [2424], when he had scourged [5417] him, to [2443] be crucified [4717]. 41 15 16 And [1161] the soldiers [4757] led [520] him [846] away [520] into [2080] the hall [833], called [3603] Praetorium [4232]; and [2532] they call together [4779] the whole [3650] band [4686]. 41 15 17 And [2532] they clothed [1746] him [846] with purple [4209], and [2532] platted [4120] a crown [4735] of thorns [174], and put it about [4060] his [846] head, 41 15 18 And [2532] began [756] to salute [782] him [846], Hail [5463], King [935] of the Jews [2453]! 41 15 19 And [2532] they smote [5180] him [846] on the head [2776] with a reed [2563], and [2532] did spit [1716] upon him [846], and [2532] bowing [5087] their knees [1119] worshipped [4352] him [846]. 41 15 20 And [2532] when [3753] they had mocked [1702] him [846], they took off [1562] the purple [4209] from him [846], and [2532] put [1746] his own [2398] clothes [2440] on [1746] him [846], and [2532] led [1806] him [846] out [1806] to [2443] crucify [4717] him [846]. 41 15 21 And [2532] they compel [29] one [5100] Simon [4613] a Cyrenian [2956], who passed by [3855], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], the father [3962] of Alexander [223] and [2532] Rufus [4504], to [2443] bear [142] his [846] cross [4716]. 41 15 22 And [2532] they bring [5342] him [846] unto [1909] the place [5117] Golgotha [1115], which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], The place [5117] of a skull [2898]. 41 15 23 And [2532] they gave [1325] him [846] to drink [4095] wine [3631] mingled with myrrh [4669]: but [1161] he received [2983] it not [3756]. 41 15 24 And [2532] when they had crucified [4717] him [846], they parted [1266] his [846] garments [2440], casting [906] lots [2819] upon [1909] them [846], what [5101] every man [5101] should take [142]. 41 15 25 And [1161] it was [2258] the third [5154] hour [5610], and [2532] they crucified [4717] him [846]. 41 15 26 And [2532] the superscription [1923] of his [846] accusation [156] was [2258] written over [1924], THE KING [935] OF THE JEWS [2453]. 41 15 27 And [2532] with [4862] him [846] they crucify [4717] two [1417] thieves [3027]; the one [1520] on [1537] his right hand [1188], and [2532] the other [1520] on [1537] his [846] left [2176]. 41 15 28 And [2532] the scripture [1124] was fulfilled [4137], which [3588] saith [3004], And [2532] he was numbered [3049] with [3326] the transgressors [459]. 41 15 29 And [2532] they that passed by [3899] railed [987] on him [846], wagging [2795] their [846] heads [2776], and [2532] saying [3004], Ah [3758], thou that destroyest [2647] the temple [3485], and [2532] buildest [3618] it in [1722] three [5140] days [2250], 41 15 30 Save [4982] thyself [4572], and [2532] come down [2597] from [575] the cross [4716]. 41 15 31 Likewise [1161] [3668] also [2532] the chief priests [749] mocking [1702] said [3004] among [4314] themselves [240] with [3326] the scribes [1122], He saved [4982] others [243]; himself [1438] he cannot [3756] [1410] save [4982]. 41 15 32 Let [2597] Christ [5547] the King [935] of Israel [2474] descend [2597] now [3568] from [575] the cross [4716], that [2443] we may see [1492] and [2532] believe [4100]. And [2532] they that were crucified [4957] with him [846] reviled [3679] him [846]. 41 15 33 And [1161] when [1096] the sixth [1623] hour [5610] was come [1096], there was [1096] darkness [4655] over [1909] the whole [3650] land [1093] until [2193] the ninth [1766] hour [5610]. 41 15 34 And [2532] at the ninth [1766] hour [5610] Jesus [2424] cried [994] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Eloi [1682], Eloi [1682], lama [2982] sabachthani [4518]? which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], My [3450] God [2316], my [3450] God [2316], why [5101] hast [1519] thou forsaken [1459] me [3165]? 41 15 35 And [2532] some of them [5100] that stood by [3936], when they heard [191] it, said [3004], Behold [2400], he calleth [5455] Elias [2243]. 41 15 36 And [1161] one [1520] ran [5143] and [2532] filled [1072] a spunge [4699] full [1072] of vinegar [3690], and [5037] put it on [4060] a reed [2563], and gave [4222] him [846] to drink [4222], saying [3004], Let alone [863]; let us see [1492] whether [1487] Elias [2243] will come [2064] to take [2507] him [846] down [2507]. 41 15 37 And [1161] Jesus [2424] cried [863] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and gave up the ghost [1606]. 41 15 38 And [2532] the veil [2665] of the temple [3485] was rent [4977] in [1519] twain [1417] from [575] the top [509] to [2193] the bottom [2736]. 41 15 39 And [1161] when the centurion [2760], which [3588] stood [3936] over [1537] against [1727] him [846], saw [1492] that [3754] he so [3779] cried out [2896], and gave up the ghost [1606], he said [2036], Truly [230] this [3778] man [444] was [2258] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 41 15 40 There [1161] were [2258] also [2532] women [1135] looking [2334] on afar [3113] off [575]: among [2532] [1722] whom [3739] was [2258] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3384] of James [2385] the less [3398] and [2532] of Joses [2500], and [2532] Salome [4539]; 41 15 41 (Who [3739] also [2532], when [3753] he was [2258] in [1722] Galilee [1056], followed [190] him [846], and [2532] ministered [1247] unto him [846];) and [2532] many [4183] other [243] women which [3588] came up [4872] with him [846] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414]. 41 15 42 And [2532] now [2235] when the even [3798] was come [1096], because [1893] it was [2258] the preparation [3904], that [3603] is [2076], the day before the sabbath [4315], 41 15 43 Joseph [2501] of [575] Arimathaea [707], an honourable [2158] counsellor [1010], which [3739] also [2532] [846] waited [4327] for [2258] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], came [2064], and went in [1525] boldly [5111] unto [4314] Pilate [4091], and [2532] craved [154] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424]. 41 15 44 And [1161] Pilate [4091] marvelled [2296] if [1487] he were [2348] already [2235] dead [2348]: and [2532] calling [4341] unto him the centurion [2760], he asked [1905] him [846] whether [1487] he had been [599] any while [3819] dead [599]. 41 15 45 And [2532] when he knew [1097] it of [575] the centurion [2760], he gave [1433] the body [4983] to Joseph [2501]. 41 15 46 And [2532] he bought [59] fine linen [4616], and [2532] took him down [2507], and wrapped [1750] him [846] in the linen [4616], and [2532] laid [2698] him [846] in [1722] a sepulchre [3419] which [3739] was [2258] hewn [2998] out of [1537] a rock [4073], and [2532] rolled [4351] a stone [3037] unto [1909] the door [2374] of the sepulchre [3419]. 41 15 47 And [1161] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother of Joses [2500] beheld [2334] where [4226] he was laid [5087]. 41 16 1 And [2532] when [1230] the sabbath [4521] was past [1230], Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3588] of James [2385], and [2532] Salome [4539], had bought [59] sweet spices [759], that [2443] they might come [2064] and anoint [218] him [846]. 41 16 2 And [2532] very [3029] early in the morning [4404] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3419] at the rising [393] of the sun [2246]. 41 16 3 And [2532] they said [3004] among [4314] themselves [1438], Who [5101] shall roll [617] us [2254] away [617] the stone [3037] from [1537] the door [2374] of the sepulchre [3419]? 41 16 4 And [2532] when they looked [308], they saw [2334] that [3754] the stone [3037] was rolled away [617]: for [1063] it was [2258] very [4970] great [3173]. 41 16 5 And [2532] entering [1525] into [1519] the sepulchre [3419], they saw [1492] a young man [3495] sitting [2521] on [1722] the right side [1188], clothed [4016] in a long white [3022] garment [4749]; and [2532] they were affrighted [1568]. 41 16 6 And [1161] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Be [1568] not [3361] affrighted [1568]: Ye seek [2212] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3479], which [3588] was crucified [4717]: he is risen [1453]; he is [2076] not [3756] here [5602]: behold [2396] the place [5117] where [3699] they laid [5087] him [846]. 41 16 7 But [235] go your way [5217], tell [2036] his [846] disciples [3101] and [2532] Peter [4074] that [3754] he goeth before [4254] you [5209] into [1519] Galilee [1056]: there [1563] shall ye see [3700] him [846], as [2531] he said [2036] unto you [5213]. 41 16 8 And [2532] they went out [1831] quickly [5035], and fled [5343] from [575] the sepulchre [3419]; for [1161] they [846] trembled [2192] [5156] and [2532] were amazed [1611]: neither [2532] said they [2036] any thing [3762] to any [3762] man; for [1063] they were afraid [5399]. 41 16 9 Now [1161] when Jesus was risen [450] early [4404] the first [4413] day of the week [4521], he appeared [5316] first [4412] to Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], out of [575] whom [3739] he had cast [1544] seven [2033] devils [1140]. 41 16 10 And she [1565] went [4198] and told [518] them that had been [1096] with [3326] him [846], as they mourned [3996] and [2532] wept [2799]. 41 16 11 And they [2548], when they had heard [191] that [3754] he was alive [2198], and [2532] had been seen [2300] of [5259] her [846], believed not [569]. 41 16 12 After [1161] [3326] that [5023] he appeared [5319] in [1722] another [2087] form [3444] unto two [1417] of [1537] them [846], as they walked [4043], and went [4198] into [1519] the country [68]. 41 16 13 And they [2548] went [565] and told [518] it unto the residue [3062]: neither [3761] believed they [4100] them [1565]. 41 16 14 Afterward [5305] he appeared [5319] unto the eleven [1733] as they [846] sat at meat [345], and [2532] upbraided [3679] them with their [846] unbelief [570] and [2532] hardness of heart [4641], because [3754] they believed [4100] not [3756] them which had seen [2300] him [846] after he was risen [1453]. 41 16 15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go ye [4198] into [1519] all [537] the world [2889], and preach [2784] the gospel [2098] to every [3956] creature [2937]. 41 16 16 He that believeth [4100] and [2532] is baptized [907] shall be saved [4982]; but [1161] he that believeth not [569] shall be damned [2632]. 41 16 17 And [1161] these [5023] signs [4592] shall follow [3877] them that believe [4100]; In [1722] my [3450] name [3686] shall they cast out [1544] devils [1140]; they shall speak [2980] with new [2537] tongues [1100]; 41 16 18 They shall take up [142] serpents [3789]; and if [2579] they drink [4095] any [5100] deadly [2286] thing [5100], it shall not [3364] hurt [984] them [846]; they shall lay [2007] hands [5495] on [1909] the sick [732], and [2532] they shall [2192] recover [2573]. 41 16 19 So [3303] then [3767] after [3326] the Lord [2962] had spoken [2980] unto them [846], he was received up [353] into [1519] heaven [3772], and [2532] sat [2523] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of God [2316]. 41 16 20 And [1161] they [1565] went forth [1831], and preached [2784] every where [3837], the Lord [2962] working with [4903] them, and [2532] confirming [950] the word [3056] with [1223] signs [4592] following [1872]. Amen [281]. 42 1 1 Forasmuch [1895] as many [4183] have taken in hand [2021] to set forth in order [392] a declaration [1335] of [4012] those things [4229] which are most surely believed [4135] among [1722] us [2254], 42 1 2 Even [2531] as they delivered [3860] them unto us [2254], which [3588] from [575] the beginning [746] were [1096] eyewitnesses [845], and [2532] ministers [5257] of the word [3056]; 42 1 3 It seemed [1380] good to me also [2504], having had perfect [199] understanding [3877] of all things [3956] from the very first [509], to write [1125] unto thee [4671] in order [2517], most excellent [2903] Theophilus [2321], 42 1 4 That [2443] thou mightest know [1921] the certainty [803] of [4012] those things [3056], wherein [3739] thou hast been instructed [2727]. 42 1 5 There was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Herod [2264], the king [935] of Judaea [2449], a certain [5100] priest [2409] named [3686] Zacharias [2197], of [1537] the course [2183] of Abia [7]: and [2532] his [846] wife [1135] was of [1537] the daughters [2364] of Aaron [2], and [2532] her [846] name [3686] was Elisabeth [1665]. 42 1 6 And [1161] they were [2258] both [297] righteous [1342] before [1799] God [2316], walking [4198] in [1722] all [3956] the commandments [1785] and [2532] ordinances [1345] of the Lord [2962] blameless [273]. 42 1 7 And [2532] they [846] had [2258] no [3756] child [5043], because [2530] that Elisabeth [1665] was [2258] barren [4723], and [2532] they [846] both [297] were [2258] now well stricken [4260] in [1722] years [2250]. 42 1 8 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that while [1722] he [846] executed the priest's office [2407] before [1725] God [2316] in [1722] the order [5010] of his [846] course [2183], 42 1 9 According [2596] to the custom [1485] of the priest's office [2405], his lot [2975] was to burn incense [2370] when he went [1525] into [1519] the temple [3485] of the Lord [2962]. 42 1 10 And [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [4128] of the people [2992] were [2258] praying [4336] without [1854] at the time [5610] of incense [2368]. 42 1 11 And [1161] there appeared [3700] unto him [846] an angel [32] of the Lord [2962] standing [2476] on [1537] the right side [1188] of the altar [2379] of incense [2368]. 42 1 12 And [2532] when Zacharias [2197] saw [1492] him, he was troubled [5015], and [2532] fear [5401] fell [1968] upon [1909] him [846]. 42 1 13 But [1161] the angel [32] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Fear [5399] not [3361], Zacharias [2197]: for [1360] thy [4675] prayer [1162] is heard [1522]; and [2532] thy [4675] wife [1135] Elisabeth [1665] shall bear [1080] thee [4671] a son [5207], and [2532] thou shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] John [2491]. 42 1 14 And [2532] thou [4671] shalt have [2071] joy [5479] and [2532] gladness [20]; and [2532] many [4183] shall rejoice [5463] at [1909] his [846] birth [1083]. 42 1 15 For [1063] he shall be [2071] great [3173] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] shall drink [4095] neither [3364] wine [3631] nor [2532] strong drink [4608]; and [2532] he shall be filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], even [2089] from [1537] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836]. 42 1 16 And [2532] many [4183] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474] shall he turn [1994] to [1909] the Lord [2962] their [846] God [2316]. 42 1 17 And [2532] he [846] shall go [4281] before [1799] him [846] in [1722] the spirit [4151] and [2532] power [1411] of Elias [2243], to turn [1994] the hearts [2588] of the fathers [3962] to [1909] the children [5043], and [2532] the disobedient [545] to [1722] the wisdom [5428] of the just [1342]; to make ready [2090] a people [2992] prepared [2680] for the Lord [2962]. 42 1 18 And [2532] Zacharias [2197] said [2036] unto [4314] the angel [32], Whereby [2596] [5101] shall I know [1097] this [5124]? for [1063] I [1473] am [1510] an old man [4246], and [2532] my [3450] wife [1135] well stricken [4260] in [1722] years [2250] [846]. 42 1 19 And [2532] the angel [32] answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], I [1473] am [1510] Gabriel [1043], that stand [3936] in the presence [1799] of God [2316]; and [2532] am sent [649] to speak [2980] unto [4314] thee [4571], and [2532] to shew [2097] thee [4671] these [5023] glad tidings [2097]. 42 1 20 And [2532], behold [2400], thou [2071] shalt be dumb [4623], and [2532] not [3361] able [1410] to speak [2980], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] these things [5023] shall be performed [1096], because [473] [3739] thou believest [4100] not [3756] my [3450] words [3056], which [3748] shall be fulfilled [4137] in [1519] their [846] season [2540]. 42 1 21 And [2532] the people [2992] waited [2258] [4328] for Zacharias [2197], and [2532] marvelled [2296] that [1722] he [846] tarried so long [5549] in [1722] the temple [3485]. 42 1 22 And [1161] when he came out [1831], he could [1410] not [3756] speak [2980] unto them [846]: and [2532] they perceived [1921] that [3754] he had seen [3708] a vision [3701] in [1722] the temple [3485]: for [2532] he [846] beckoned [2258] [1269] unto them [846], and [2532] remained [1265] speechless [2974]. 42 1 23 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, as soon as [5613] the days [2250] of his [846] ministration [3009] were accomplished [4130], he departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624]. 42 1 24 And [1161] after [3326] those [5025] days [2250] his [846] wife [1135] Elisabeth [1665] conceived [4815], and [2532] hid [4032] herself [1438] five [4002] months [3376], saying [3004], 42 1 25 [3754] Thus [3779] hath [4160] the Lord [2962] dealt [4160] with me [3427] in [1722] the days [2250] wherein [3739] he looked on [1896] me, to take away [851] my [3450] reproach [3681] among [1722] men [444]. 42 1 26 And [1161] in [1722] the sixth [1623] month [3376] the angel [32] Gabriel [1043] was sent [649] from [5259] God [2316] unto [1519] a city [4172] of Galilee [1056], named [3739] [3686] Nazareth [3478], 42 1 27 To [4314] a virgin [3933] espoused [3423] to a man [435] whose [3739] name [3686] was Joseph [2501], of [1537] the house [3624] of David [1138]; and [2532] the virgin's [3933] name [3686] was Mary [3137]. 42 1 28 And [2532] the angel [32] came in [1525] unto [4314] her [846], and said [2036], Hail [5463], thou that art highly favoured [5487], the Lord [2962] is with [3326] thee [4675]: blessed [2127] art thou [4771] among [1722] women [1135]. 42 1 29 And [1161] when she saw [1492] him, she was troubled [1298] at [1909] his [846] saying [3056], and [2532] cast in her mind [1260] what manner [4217] of salutation [783] this [3778] should be [1498]. 42 1 30 And [2532] the angel [32] said [2036] unto her [846], Fear [5399] not [3361], Mary [3137]: for [1063] thou hast found [2147] favour [5485] with [3844] God [2316]. 42 1 31 And [2532], behold [2400], thou shalt conceive [4815] in [1722] thy womb [1064], and [2532] bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] shalt call [2564] his [846] name [3686] JESUS [2424]. 42 1 32 He [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] unto him [846] the throne [2362] of his [846] father [3962] David [1138]: 42 1 33 And [2532] he shall reign [936] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [165]; and [2532] of his [846] kingdom [932] there shall be [2071] no [3756] end [5056]. 42 1 34 Then [1161] said [2036] Mary [3137] unto [4314] the angel [32], How [4459] shall [2071] this [5124] be [2071], seeing [1893] I know [1097] not [3756] a man [435]? 42 1 35 And [2532] the angel [32] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], The Holy [40] Ghost [4151] shall come [1904] upon [1909] thee [4571], and [2532] the power [1411] of the Highest [5310] shall overshadow [1982] thee [4671]: therefore [1352] also [2532] that holy thing [40] which shall be born [1080] of [1537] thee [4675] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 42 1 36 And [2532], behold [2400], thy [4675] cousin [4773] Elisabeth [1665], she [846] hath [4815] also [2532] conceived [4815] a son [5207] in [1722] her [846] old age [1094]: and [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the sixth [1623] month [3376] with her [846], who [3588] was called [2564] barren [4723]. 42 1 37 For [3754] with [3844] God [2316] nothing [3756] [3956] [4487] shall be impossible [101]. 42 1 38 And [1161] Mary [3137] said [2036], Behold [2400] the handmaid [1399] of the Lord [2962]; be it [1096] unto me [3427] according [2596] to thy [4675] word [4487]. And [2532] the angel [32] departed [565] from [575] her [846]. 42 1 39 And [1161] Mary [3137] arose [450] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], and went [4198] into [1519] the hill country [3714] with [3326] haste [4710], into [1519] a city [4172] of Juda [2448]; 42 1 40 And [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of Zacharias [2197], and [2532] saluted [782] Elisabeth [1665]. 42 1 41 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, when [5613] Elisabeth [1665] heard [191] the salutation [783] of Mary [3137], the babe [1025] leaped [4640] in [1722] her [846] womb [2836]; and [2532] Elisabeth [1665] was filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: 42 1 42 And [2532] she spake out [400] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and [2532] said [2036], Blessed [2127] art thou [4771] among [1722] women [1135], and [2532] blessed [2127] is the fruit [2590] of thy [4675] womb [2836]. 42 1 43 And [2532] whence [4159] is this [5124] to me [3427], that [2443] the mother [3384] of my [3450] Lord [2962] should come [2064] to [4314] me [3165]? 42 1 44 For [1063], lo [2400], as soon as [5613] the voice [5456] of thy [4675] salutation [783] sounded [1096] in [1519] mine [3450] ears [3775], the babe [1025] leaped [4640] in [1722] my [3450] womb [2836] for [1722] joy [20]. 42 1 45 And [2532] blessed [3107] is she that believed [4100]: for [3754] there shall be [2071] a performance [5050] of those things which were told [2980] her [846] from [3844] the Lord [2962]. 42 1 46 And [2532] Mary [3137] said [2036], My [3450] soul [5590] doth magnify [3170] the Lord [2962], 42 1 47 And [2532] my [3450] spirit [4151] hath rejoiced [21] in [1909] God [2316] my [3450] Saviour [4990]. 42 1 48 For [3754] he hath regarded [1914] [1909] the low estate [5014] of his [846] handmaiden [1399]: for [1063], behold [2400], from [575] henceforth [3568] all [3956] generations [1074] shall call [3106] me [3165] blessed [3106]. 42 1 49 For [3754] he that is mighty [1415] hath done [4160] to me [3427] great things [3167]; and [2532] holy [40] is his [846] name [3686]. 42 1 50 And [2532] his [846] mercy [1656] is on them that fear [5399] him [846] from [1519] generation [1074] to generation [1074]. 42 1 51 He hath shewed [4160] strength [2904] with [1722] his [846] arm [1023]; he hath scattered [1287] the proud [5244] in the imagination [1271] of their [846] hearts [2588]. 42 1 52 He hath put down [2507] the mighty [1413] from [575] their seats [2362], and [2532] exalted [5312] them of low degree [5011]. 42 1 53 He hath filled [1705] the hungry [3983] with good things [18]; and [2532] the rich [4147] he hath sent [1821] empty [2756] away [1821]. 42 1 54 He hath holpen [482] his [846] servant [3816] Israel [2474], in remembrance [3415] of his mercy [1656]; 42 1 55 As [2531] he spake [2980] to [4314] our [2257] fathers [3962], to Abraham [11], and [2532] to his [846] seed [4690] for [1519] ever [165]. 42 1 56 And [1161] Mary [3137] abode [3306] with [4862] her [846] about [5616] three [5140] months [3376], and [2532] returned [5290] to [1519] her own [846] house [3624]. 42 1 57 Now [1161] Elisabeth's [1665] full [4130] time [5550] came [4130] that she [846] should be delivered [5088]; and [2532] she brought forth [1080] a son [5207]. 42 1 58 And [2532] her neighbours [4040] and [2532] her [846] cousins [4773] heard [191] how [3754] the Lord [2962] had shewed great [3170] mercy [1656] [846] upon [3326] her [846]; and [2532] they rejoiced [4796] with her [846]. 42 1 59 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that on [1722] the eighth [3590] day [2250] they came [2064] to circumcise [4059] the child [3813]; and [2532] they called [2564] him [846] Zacharias [2197], after [1909] the name [3686] of his [846] father [3962]. 42 1 60 And [2532] his [846] mother [3384] answered [611] and said [2036], Not [3780] so; but [235] he shall be called [2564] John [2491]. 42 1 61 And [2532] they said [2036] unto [4314] her [846], [3754] There is [2076] none [3762] of [1722] thy [4675] kindred [4772] that [3739] is called [2564] by this [5129] name [3686]. 42 1 62 And [1161] they made signs [1770] to his [846] father [3962], how [5101] [302] he would have [2309] him [846] called [2564]. 42 1 63 And [2532] he asked for [154] a writing table [4093], and wrote [1125], saying [3004], His [846] name [3686] is [2076] John [2491]. And [2532] they marvelled [2296] all [3956]. 42 1 64 And [1161] his [846] mouth [4750] was opened [455] immediately [3916], and [2532] his [846] tongue [1100] loosed, and [2532] he spake [2980], and praised [2127] God [2316]. 42 1 65 And [2532] fear [5401] came [1096] on [1909] all [3956] that dwelt round about [4039] them [846]: and [2532] all [3956] these [5023] sayings [4487] were noised abroad [1255] throughout [1722] all [3650] the hill country [3714] of Judaea [2449]. 42 1 66 And [2532] all [3956] they that heard [191] them laid them up [5087] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588], saying [3004], What [5101] manner [686] of child [3813] shall [2071] this [5124] be [2071] ! And [2532] the hand [5495] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] with [3326] him [846]. 42 1 67 And [2532] his [846] father [3962] Zacharias [2197] was filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] prophesied [4395], saying [3004], 42 1 68 Blessed [2128] be the Lord [2962] God [2316] of Israel [2474]; for [3754] he hath visited [1980] and [2532] redeemed [3085] his [846] people [2992] [4160], 42 1 69 And [2532] hath raised up [1453] an horn [2768] of salvation [4991] for us [2254] in [1722] the house [3624] of his [846] servant [3816] David [1138]; 42 1 70 As [2531] he spake [2980] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of his [846] holy [40] prophets [4396], which [3588] have been since [575] the world began [165]: 42 1 71 That we should be saved [4991] from [1537] our [2257] enemies [2190], and [2532] from [1537] the hand [5495] of all [3956] that hate [3404] us [2248]; 42 1 72 To perform [4160] the mercy [1656] promised to [3326] our [2257] fathers [3962], and [2532] to remember [3415] his [846] holy [40] covenant [1242]; 42 1 73 The oath [3727] which [3739] he sware [3660] to [4314] our [2257] father [3962] Abraham [11], 42 1 74 That he would grant [1325] unto us [2254], that we being delivered [4506] out of [1537] the hand [5495] of our [2257] enemies [2190] might serve [3000] him [846] without fear [870], 42 1 75 In [1722] holiness [3742] and [2532] righteousness [1343] before [1799] him [846], all [3956] the days [2250] of our [2257] life [2222]. 42 1 76 And [2532] thou [4771], child [3813], shalt be called [2564] the prophet [4396] of the Highest [5310]: for [1063] thou shalt go [4313] before [4253] the face [4383] of the Lord [2962] to prepare [2090] his [846] ways [3598]; 42 1 77 To give [1325] knowledge [1108] of salvation [4991] unto his [846] people [2992] by [1722] the remission [859] of their [846] sins [266], 42 1 78 Through [1223] the tender [4698] mercy [1656] of our [2257] God [2316]; whereby [1722] [3739] the dayspring [395] from [1537] on high [5311] hath visited [1980] us [2248], 42 1 79 To give light [2014] to them that sit [2521] in [1722] darkness [4655] and [2532] in the shadow [4639] of death [2288], to guide [2720] our [2257] feet [4228] into [1519] the way [3598] of peace [1515]. 42 1 80 And [1161] the child [3813] grew [837], and [2532] waxed strong [2901] in spirit [4151], and [2532] was [2258] in [1722] the deserts [2048] till [2193] the day [2250] of his [846] shewing [323] unto [4314] Israel [2474]. 42 2 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that there went out [1831] a decree [1378] from [3844] Caesar [2541] Augustus [828], that all [3956] the world [3625] should be taxed [583]. 42 2 2 (And this [3778] taxing [582] was [1096] first [4413] made [1096] when Cyrenius [2958] was governor [2230] of Syria [4947].) 42 2 3 And [2532] all [3956] went [4198] to be taxed [583], every one [1538] into [1519] his own [2398] city [4172]. 42 2 4 And [1161] Joseph [2501] also [2532] went up [305] from [575] Galilee [1056], out of [1537] the city [4172] of Nazareth [3478], into [1519] Judaea [2449], unto [1519] the city [4172] of David [1138], which [3748] is called [2564] Bethlehem [965]; (because [1223] he [846] was [1511] of [1537] the house [3624] and [2532] lineage [3965] of David [1138]:) 42 2 5 To be taxed [583] with [4862] Mary [3137] his [846] espoused [3423] wife [1135], being [5607] great with child [1471]. 42 2 6 And [1161] so it was [1096], that, while [1722] they [846] were [1511] there [1563], the days [2250] were accomplished [4130] that she [846] should be delivered [5088]. 42 2 7 And [2532] she brought forth [5088] her [846] firstborn [4416] son [5207], and [2532] wrapped [4683] him [846] in swaddling clothes [4683], and [2532] laid [347] him [846] in [1722] a manger [5336]; because [1360] there was [2258] no [3756] room [5117] for them [846] in [1722] the inn [2646]. 42 2 8 And [2532] there were [2258] in [1722] the same [846] country [5561] shepherds [4166] abiding in the field [63], [2532] keeping [5442] watch [5438] over [1909] their [846] flock [4167] by night [3571]. 42 2 9 And [2532], lo [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] came upon [2186] them [846], and [2532] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962] shone round about [4034] them [846]: and [2532] they were sore [3173] afraid [5399] [5401]. 42 2 10 And [2532] the angel [32] said [2036] unto them [846], Fear [5399] not [3361]: for [1063], behold [2400], I bring [2097] you [5213] good tidings [2097] of great [3173] joy [5479], which [3748] shall be [2071] to all [3956] people [2992]. 42 2 11 For [3754] unto you [5213] is born [5088] this day [4594] in [1722] the city [4172] of David [1138] a Saviour [4990], which [3739] is [2076] Christ [5547] the Lord [2962]. 42 2 12 And [2532] this [5124] shall be a sign [4592] unto you [5213]; Ye shall find [2147] the babe [1025] wrapped in swaddling clothes [4683], lying [2749] in [1722] a manger [5336]. 42 2 13 And [2532] suddenly [1810] there was [1096] with [4862] the angel [32] a multitude [4128] of the heavenly [3770] host [4756] praising [134] God [2316], and [2532] saying [3004], 42 2 14 Glory [1391] to God [2316] in [1722] the highest [5310], and [2532] on [1909] earth [1093] peace [1515], good will [2107] toward [1722] men [444]. 42 2 15 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [5613] the angels [32] were gone away [565] from [575] them [846] into [1519] heaven [3772], [2532] the shepherds [444] [4166] said [2036] one [240] to [4314] another [240], Let us [1330] now [1211] go [1330] even unto [2193] Bethlehem [965], and [2532] see [1492] this [5124] thing [4487] which is come to pass [1096], which [3739] [3588] the Lord [2962] hath made known [1107] unto us [2254]. 42 2 16 And [2532] they came [2064] with haste [4692], and [2532] [5037] found [429] Mary [3137], and [2532] Joseph [2501], and [2532] the babe [1025] lying [2749] in [1722] a manger [5336]. 42 2 17 And [1161] when they had seen [1492] it, they made known abroad [1232] the saying [4012] [4487] which [3588] was told [2980] them [846] concerning [4012] this [5127] child [3813]. 42 2 18 And [2532] all [3956] they that heard [191] it wondered [2296] at [4012] those things which [3588] were told [2980] them [4314] [846] by [5259] the shepherds [4166]. 42 2 19 But [1161] Mary [3137] kept [4933] all [3956] these things [4487] [5023], and pondered [4820] them in [1722] her [846] heart [2588]. 42 2 20 And [2532] the shepherds [4166] returned [1994], glorifying [1392] and [2532] praising [134] God [2316] for [1909] all the things [3956] that [3739] they had heard [191] and [2532] seen [1492], as [2531] it was told [2980] unto [4314] them [846]. 42 2 21 And [2532] when [3753] eight [3638] days [2250] were accomplished [4130] for the circumcising [4059] of the child [3813], [2532] his [846] name [3686] was called [2564] JESUS [2424], which [3588] was so named [2564] of [5259] the angel [32] before [4253] he [846] was conceived [4815] in [1722] the womb [2836]. 42 2 22 And [2532] when [3753] the days [2250] of her [846] purification [2512] according [2596] to the law [3551] of Moses [3475] were accomplished [4130], they brought [321] him [846] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], to present [3936] him to the Lord [2962]; 42 2 23 (As [2531] it is written [1125] in [1722] the law [3551] of the Lord [2962], [3754] Every [3956] male [730] that openeth [1272] the womb [3388] shall be called [2564] holy [40] to the Lord [2962];) 42 2 24 And [2532] to offer [1325] a sacrifice [2378] according [2596] to that which is said [2046] in [1722] the law [3551] of the Lord [2962], A pair [2201] of turtledoves [5167], or [2228] two [1417] young [3502] pigeons [4058]. 42 2 25 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [2258] a man [444] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], whose [3739] name [3686] was Simeon [4826]; and [2532] the same [3778] man [444] was just [1342] and [2532] devout [2126], waiting [4327] for the consolation [3874] of Israel [2474]: and [2532] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] was [2258] upon [1909] him [846]. 42 2 26 And [2532] it was [2258] revealed [5537] unto him [846] by [5259] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], that he should [1492] not [3361] see [1492] death [2288], before [4250] [2228] he had seen [1492] the Lord's [2962] Christ [5547]. 42 2 27 And [2532] he came [2064] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] into [1519] the temple [2411]: and [2532] when the parents [1118] brought [1521] in [1722] the child [3813] Jesus [2424], to do [4160] [846] for [4012] him [846] after [2596] the custom [1480] of the law [3551], 42 2 28 Then [2532] took [1209] he [846] him [846] up [1209] in [1519] his [846] arms [43], and [2532] blessed [2127] God [2316], and [2532] said [2036], 42 2 29 Lord [1203], now [3568] lettest thou [630] thy [4675] servant [1401] depart [630] in [1722] peace [1515], according [2596] to thy [4675] word [4487]: 42 2 30 For [3754] mine [3450] eyes [3788] have seen [1492] thy [4675] salvation [4992], 42 2 31 Which [3739] thou hast prepared [2090] before [2596] the face [4383] of all [3956] people [2992]; 42 2 32 A light [5457] to [1519] lighten [602] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] the glory [1391] of thy [4675] people [2992] Israel [2474]. 42 2 33 And [2532] Joseph [2501] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384] marvelled [2258] [2296] at [1909] those things which were spoken [2980] of [4012] him [846]. 42 2 34 And [2532] Simeon [4826] blessed [2127] them [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] Mary [3137] his [846] mother [3384], Behold [2400], this [3778] child is set [2749] for [1519] the fall [4431] and [2532] rising again [386] of many [4183] in [1722] Israel [2474]; and [2532] for [1519] a sign [4592] which shall be spoken against [483]; 42 2 35 (Yea [1161], a sword [4501] shall pierce through [1330] thy [4675] own [846] soul [5590] also [2532],) that [3704] the thoughts [1261] of [1537] many [4183] hearts [2588] [302] may be revealed [601]. 42 2 36 And [2532] there was [2258] one Anna [451], a prophetess [4398], the daughter [2364] of Phanuel [5323], of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Aser [768]: she [3778] [846] was of a great [4183] [1722] age [2250] [4260], and had lived [2198] with [3326] an husband [435] seven [2033] years [2094] from [575] her [846] virginity [3932]; 42 2 37 And [2532] she [3778] was a widow [5503] of about [5613] fourscore [3589] and four [5064] years [2094], which [3739] departed [868] not [3756] from [575] the temple [2411], but served [3000] God with fastings [3521] and [2532] prayers [1162] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250]. 42 2 38 And [2532] she [3778] [846] coming in [2186] that [846] instant [5610] gave thanks likewise [437] unto the Lord [2962], and [2532] spake [2980] of [4012] him [846] to all [3956] them that looked [4327] for redemption [3085] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 2 39 And [2532] when [5613] they had performed [5055] all things [537] according [2596] to the law [3551] of the Lord [2962], they returned [5290] into [1519] Galilee [1056], to [1519] their own [846] city [4172] Nazareth [3478]. 42 2 40 And [1161] the child [3813] grew [837], and [2532] waxed strong [2901] in spirit [4151], filled [4137] with wisdom [4678]: and [2532] the grace [5485] of God [2316] was [2258] upon [1909] him [846]. 42 2 41 Now [2532] his [846] parents [1118] went [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419] every [2596] year [2094] at the feast [1859] of the passover [3957]. 42 2 42 And [2532] when [3753] he was [1096] twelve [1427] years old [2094], they [846] went up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414] after [2596] the custom [1485] of the feast [1859]. 42 2 43 And [2532] when they had fulfilled [5048] the days [2250], as [1722] they [846] returned [5290], the child [3816] Jesus [2424] tarried behind [5278] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419]; and [2532] Joseph [2501] and [2532] his [846] mother [3384] knew [1097] not [3756] of it. 42 2 44 But [1161] they, supposing [3543] him [846] to have been [1511] in [1722] the company [4923], went [2064] a day's [2250] journey [3598]; and [2532] they sought [327] him [846] among [1722] their kinsfolk [4773] and [2532] [1722] acquaintance [1110]. 42 2 45 And [2532] when they found [2147] him [846] not [3361], they turned back again [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], seeking [2212] him [846]. 42 2 46 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] they found [2147] him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411], sitting [2516] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the doctors [1320], both [2532] hearing [191] them [846], and [2532] asking [1905] them [846] questions [1905]. 42 2 47 And [1161] all [3956] that heard [191] him [846] were astonished [1839] at [1909] his [846] understanding [4907] and [2532] answers [612]. 42 2 48 And [2532] when they saw [1492] him [846], they were amazed [1605]: and [2532] his [846] mother [3384] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Son [5043], why [5101] hast thou [4160] thus [3779] dealt [4160] with us [2254]? behold [2400], thy [4675] father [3962] and I [2504] have sought [2212] thee [4571] sorrowing [3600]. 42 2 49 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], How [5101] is it that [3754] ye sought [2212] me [3165]? wist ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] I [3165] must [1163] be [1511] about [1722] my [3450] Father's business [3962]? 42 2 50 And [2532] they [846] understood [4920] not [3756] the saying [4487] which [3739] he spake [2980] unto them [846]. 42 2 51 And [2532] he went down [2597] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] came [2064] to [1519] Nazareth [3478], and [2532] was [2258] subject [5293] unto them [846]: but [2532] his [846] mother [3384] kept [1301] all [3956] these [5023] sayings [4487] in [1722] her [846] heart [2588]. 42 2 52 And [2532] Jesus [2424] increased [4298] in wisdom [4678] and [2532] stature [2244], and [2532] in favour [5485] with [3844] God [2316] and [2532] man [444]. 42 3 1 Now [1161] in [1722] the fifteenth [4003] year [2094] of the reign [2231] of Tiberius [5086] Caesar [2541], Pontius [4194] Pilate [4091] being governor [2230] of Judaea [2449], and [2532] Herod [2264] being tetrarch [5075] of Galilee [1056], and [1161] his [846] brother [80] Philip [5376] tetrarch [5075] of Ituraea [2484] and [2532] of the region [5561] of Trachonitis [5139], and [2532] Lysanias [3078] the tetrarch [5075] of Abilene [9], 42 3 2 Annas [452] and [2532] Caiaphas [2533] being [1909] the high priests [749], the word [4487] of God [2316] came [1096] unto [1909] John [2491] the son [5207] of Zacharias [2197] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]. 42 3 3 And [2532] he came [2064] into [1519] all [3956] the country about [4066] Jordan [2446], preaching [2784] the baptism [908] of repentance [3341] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266]; 42 3 4 As [5613] it is written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of the words [3056] of Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396], saying [3004], The voice [5456] of one crying [994] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], Prepare ye [2090] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962], make [4160] his [846] paths [5147] straight [2117]. 42 3 5 Every [3956] valley [5327] shall be [2071] filled [4137], and [2532] every [3956] mountain [3735] and [2532] hill [1015] shall be brought low [5013]; and [2532] the crooked [4646] shall be made [1519] straight [2117], and [2532] the rough [5138] ways [3598] shall be made [1519] smooth [3006]; 42 3 6 And [2532] all [3956] flesh [4561] shall see [3700] the salvation [4992] of God [2316]. 42 3 7 Then [3767] said [3004] he to the multitude [3793] that came forth [1607] to be baptized [907] of [5259] him [846], O generation [1081] of vipers [2191], who [5101] hath warned [5263] you [5213] to flee [5343] from [575] the wrath [3709] to come [3195]? 42 3 8 Bring forth [4160] therefore [3767] fruits [2590] worthy [514] of repentance [3341], and [2532] begin [756] not [3361] to say [3004] within [1722] yourselves [1438], We have [2192] Abraham [11] to our father [3962]: for [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] God [2316] is able [1410] of [1537] these [5130] stones [3037] to raise up [1453] children [5043] unto Abraham [11]. 42 3 9 And [1161] now [2235] also [2532] the axe [513] is laid [2749] unto [4314] the root [4491] of the trees [1186]: every [3956] tree [1186] therefore [3767] which bringeth [4160] not [3361] forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590] is hewn down [1581], and [2532] cast [906] into [1519] the fire [4442]. 42 3 10 And [2532] the people [3793] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] shall we do [4160] then [3767]? 42 3 11 He answereth [611] and [1161] saith [3004] unto them [846], He that hath [2192] two [1417] coats [5509], let him impart [3330] to him that hath [2192] none [3361]; and [2532] he that hath [2192] meat [1033], let him do [4160] likewise [3668]. 42 3 12 Then [1161] came [2064] also [2532] publicans [5057] to be baptized [907], and [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Master [1320], what [5101] shall we do [4160]? 42 3 13 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Exact [4238] no [3367] more [4119] than [3844] that which is appointed [1299] you [5213]. 42 3 14 And [1161] the soldiers [4754] likewise [2532] demanded [1905] of him [846], saying [3004], And [2532] what [5101] shall we [2249] do [4160]? And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Do violence [1286] to no man [3367], neither [3366] accuse any falsely [4811]; and [2532] be content [714] with your [5216] wages [3800]. 42 3 15 And [1161] as the people [2992] were in expectation [4328], and [2532] all men [3956] mused [1260] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588] of [4012] John [2491], whether [3379] he [846] were [1498] the Christ [5547], or not [3379]; 42 3 16 John [2491] answered [611], saying [3004] unto them all [537], I [1473] indeed [3303] baptize [907] you [5209] with water [5204]; but [1161] one mightier than [2478] I [3450] cometh [2064], the latchet [2438] of whose [3739] [846] shoes [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to unloose [3089]: he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] and [2532] with fire [4442]: 42 3 17 Whose [3739] fan [4425] is in [1722] his [846] hand [5495], and [2532] he will throughly purge [1245] his [846] floor [257], and [2532] will gather [4863] the wheat [4621] into [1519] his [846] garner [596]; but [1161] the chaff [892] he will burn [2618] with fire [4442] unquenchable [762]. 42 3 18 And [2532] [3767] many [4183] other [2087] things [4183] [3303] in his exhortation [3870] preached [2097] he unto the people [2992]. 42 3 19 But [1161] Herod [2264] the tetrarch [5076], being reproved [1651] by [5259] him [846] for [4012] Herodias [2266] his [846] brother [80] Philip's [5376] wife [1135], and [2532] for [4012] all [3956] the evils [4190] which [3739] Herod [2264] had done [4160], 42 3 20 Added [4369] yet [2532] this [5124] above [1909] all [3956], that [2532] he shut up [2623] John [2491] in [1722] prison [5438]. 42 3 21 Now [1161] when all [537] the people [2992] were baptized [1722] [907], it came to pass [1096], that Jesus [2424] also [2532] being baptized [907], and [2532] praying [4336], the heaven [3772] was opened [455], 42 3 22 And [2532] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] descended [2597] in a bodily [4984] shape [1491] like [5616] a dove [4058] upon [1909] him [846], and [2532] a voice [5456] came [1096] from [1537] heaven [3772], which said [3004], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207]; in [1722] thee [4671] I am well pleased [2106]. 42 3 23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] himself [846] began [756] to be [2258] about [5616] thirty [5144] years of age [2094], being [5607] (as [5613] was supposed [3543] the son [5207] of Joseph [2501], which was the son of Heli [2242], 42 3 24 Which was the son of Matthat [3158], which was the son of Levi [3017], which was the son of Melchi [3197], which was the son of Janna [2388], which was the son of Joseph [2501], 42 3 25 Which was the son of Mattathias [3161], which was the son of Amos [301], which was the son of Naum [3486], which was the son of Esli [2069], which was the son of Nagge [3477], 42 3 26 Which was the son of Maath [3092], which was the son of Mattathias [3161], which was the son of Semei [4584], which was the son of Joseph [2501], which was the son of Juda [2455], 42 3 27 Which was the son of Joanna [2490], which was the son of Rhesa [4488], which was the son of Zorobabel [2216], which was the son of Salathiel [4528], which was the son of Neri [3518], 42 3 28 Which was the son of Melchi [3197], which was the son of Addi [78], which was the son of Cosam [2973], which was the son of Elmodam [1678], which was the son of Er [2262], 42 3 29 Which was the son of Jose [2499], which was the son of Eliezer [1663], which was the son of Jorim [2497], which was the son of Matthat [3158], which was the son of Levi [3017], 42 3 30 Which was the son of Simeon [4826], which was the son of Juda [2455], which was the son of Joseph [2501], which was the son of Jonan [2494], which was the son of Eliakim [1662], 42 3 31 Which was the son of Melea [3190], which was the son of Menan [3104], which was the son of Mattatha [3160], which was the son of Nathan [3481], which was the son of David [1138], 42 3 32 Which was the son of Jesse [2421], which was the son of Obed [5601], which was the son of Booz [1003], which was the son of Salmon [4533], which was the son of Naasson [3476], 42 3 33 Which was the son of Aminadab [284], which was the son of Aram [689], which was the son of Esrom [2074], which was the son of Phares [5329], which was the son of Juda [2455], 42 3 34 Which was the son of Jacob [2384], which was the son of Isaac [2464], which was the son of Abraham [11], which was the son of Thara [2291], which was the son of Nachor [3493], 42 3 35 Which was the son of Saruch [4562], which was the son of Ragau [4466], which was the son of Phalec [5317], which was the son of Heber [1443], which was the son of Sala [4527], 42 3 36 Which was the son of Cainan [2536], which was the son of Arphaxad [742], which was the son of Sem [4590], which was the son of Noe [3575], which was the son of Lamech [2984], 42 3 37 Which was the son of Mathusala [3103], which was the son of Enoch [1802], which was the son of Jared [2391], which was the son of Maleleel [3121], which was the son of Cainan [2536], 42 3 38 Which was the son of Enos [1800], which was the son of Seth [4589], which was the son of Adam [76], which was the son of God [2316]. 42 4 1 And [1161] Jesus [2424] being full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] returned [5290] from [575] Jordan [2446], and [2532] was led [71] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], 42 4 2 Being [3985] forty [5062] days [2250] tempted [3985] of [5259] the devil [1228]. And [2532] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250] he did eat [5315] nothing [3756] [3762]: and [2532] when they [846] were ended [4931], he afterward [5305] hungered [3983]. 42 4 3 And [2532] the devil [1228] said [2036] unto him [846], If [1487] thou be [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316], command [2036] this [5129] stone [3037] that [2443] it be made [1096] bread [740]. 42 4 4 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [4314] [846], saying [3004], It is written [1125], That [3754] man [444] shall [2198] not [3756] live [2198] by [1909] bread [740] alone [3441], but [235] by [1909] every [3956] word [4487] of God [2316]. 42 4 5 And [2532] the devil [1228], taking [321] him [846] up [321] into [1519] an high [5308] mountain [3735], shewed [1166] unto him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [3625] in [1722] a moment [4743] of time [5550]. 42 4 6 And [2532] the devil [1228] said [2036] unto him [846], All [537] this [5026] power [1849] will I give [1325] thee [4671], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846]: for [3754] that is delivered [3860] unto me [1698]; and [2532] to [3739] whomsoever [1437] I will [2309] I give [1325] it [846]. 42 4 7 If [1437] thou [4771] therefore [3767] wilt worship [4352] me [1799] [3450], all [3956] shall be [2071] thine [4675]. 42 4 8 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], Get thee [5217] behind [3694] me [3450], Satan [4567]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Thou shalt worship [4352] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316], and [2532] him [846] only [3441] shalt thou serve [3000]. 42 4 9 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] set [2476] him [846] on [1909] a pinnacle [4419] of the temple [2411], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], If [1487] thou be [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316], cast [906] thyself [4572] down [2736] from hence [1782]: 42 4 10 For [1063] [3754] it is written [1125], He shall give [1781] his [846] angels [32] charge [1781] over [4012] thee [4675], to keep [1314] thee [4571]: 42 4 11 And [2532] [3754] in [1909] their hands [5495] they shall bear [142] thee [4571] up [142], lest at any time [3379] thou dash [4350] thy [4675] foot [4228] against [4314] a stone [3037]. 42 4 12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], It is said [3754] [2046], Thou shalt [1598] not [3756] tempt [1598] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316]. 42 4 13 And [2532] when the devil [1228] had ended [4931] all [3956] the temptation [3986], he departed [868] from [575] him [846] for [891] a season [2540]. 42 4 14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] returned [5290] in [1722] the power [1411] of the Spirit [4151] into [1519] Galilee [1056]: and [2532] there went out [1831] a fame [5345] of [4012] him [846] through [2596] all [3650] the region round about [4066]. 42 4 15 And [2532] he [846] taught [1321] in [1722] their [846] synagogues [4864], being glorified [1392] of [5259] all [3956]. 42 4 16 And [2532] he came [2064] to [1519] Nazareth [3478], where [3757] he had been [2258] brought up [5142]: and [2532], as [2596] his [846] custom [1486] was [2596], he went [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] on [1722] the sabbath [4521] day [2250], and [2532] stood up [450] for to read [314]. 42 4 17 And [2532] there was delivered [1929] unto him [846] the book [975] of the prophet [4396] Esaias [2268]. And [2532] when he had opened [380] the book [975], he found [2147] the place [5117] where [3757] it was [2258] written [1125], 42 4 18 The Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] is upon [1909] me [1691], because [1752] he hath anointed [5548] me [3165] to preach the gospel [2097] to the poor [4434]; he hath sent [649] me [3165] to heal [2390] the brokenhearted [4937] [2588], to preach [2784] deliverance [859] to the captives [164], and [2532] recovering of sight [309] to the blind [5185], to set [649] at [1722] liberty [859] them that are bruised [2352], 42 4 19 To preach [2784] the acceptable [1184] year [1763] of the Lord [2962]. 42 4 20 And [2532] he closed [4428] the book [975], and he gave it again [591] to the minister [5257], and sat down [2523]. And [2532] the eyes [3788] of all them [3956] that were [2258] in [1722] the synagogue [4864] were fastened [816] on him [846]. 42 4 21 And [1161] he began [756] to say [3004] unto [4314] them [846], This [3754] day [4594] is [4137] this [3778] scripture [1124] fulfilled [4137] in [1722] your [5216] ears [3775]. 42 4 22 And [2532] all [3956] bare [3140] him [846] witness [3140], and [2532] wondered [2296] at [1909] the gracious [5485] words [3056] which [3588] proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]. And [2532] they said [3004], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] Joseph's [2501] son [5207]? 42 4 23 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye will [2046] surely [3843] say [2046] unto me [3427] this [5026] proverb [3850], Physician [2395], heal [2323] thyself [4572]: whatsoever [3745] we have heard [191] done [1096] in [1722] Capernaum [2584], do [4160] also [2532] here [5602] in [1722] thy [4675] country [3968]. 42 4 24 And [1161] he said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] No [3762] prophet [4396] is [2076] accepted [1184] in [1722] his own [846] country [3968]. 42 4 25 But [1161] I tell [3004] you [5213] of [1909] a truth [225], many [4183] widows [5503] were [2258] in [1722] Israel [2474] in [1722] the days [2250] of Elias [2243], when [3753] the heaven [3772] was shut up [2808] [1909] three [5140] years [2094] and [2532] six [1803] months [3376], when [5613] great [3173] famine [3042] was [1096] throughout [1909] all [3956] the land [1093]; 42 4 26 But [2532] unto [4314] none [3762] of them [846] was [3992] Elias [2243] sent [3992], save [1508] unto [1519] Sarepta [4558], a city of Sidon [4605], unto [4314] a woman [1135] that was a widow [5503]. 42 4 27 And [2532] many [4183] lepers [3015] were [2258] in [1722] Israel [2474] in the time [1909] of Eliseus [1666] the prophet [4396]; and [2532] none [3762] of them [846] was cleansed [2511], saving [1508] Naaman [3497] the Syrian [4948]. 42 4 28 And [2532] all they [3956] in [1722] the synagogue [4864], when they heard [191] these things [5023], were filled [4130] with wrath [2372], 42 4 29 And [2532] rose up [450], and thrust [1544] him [846] out of [1854] the city [4172], and [2532] led [71] him [846] unto [2193] the brow [3790] of the hill [3735] whereon [1909] [3739] their [846] city [4172] was built [3618], that [1519] they might cast [2630] him [846] down headlong [2630]. 42 4 30 But [1161] he [846] passing [1330] through [1223] the midst [3319] of them [846] went his way [4198], 42 4 31 And [2532] came down [2718] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], a city [4172] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] taught [1321] them [846] [2258] on [1722] the sabbath days [4521]. 42 4 32 And [2532] they were astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322]: for [3754] his [846] word [3056] was [2258] with [1722] power [1849]. 42 4 33 And [2532] in [1722] the synagogue [4864] there was [2258] a man [444], which had [2192] a spirit [4151] of an unclean [169] devil [1140], and [2532] cried out [349] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], 42 4 34 Saying [3004], Let us alone [1436]; what [5101] have we to do [2254] with thee [4671], [2532] thou Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3479]? art thou come [2064] to destroy [622] us [2248]? I know [1492] thee [4571] who [5101] thou art [1488]; the Holy One [40] of God [2316]. 42 4 35 And [2532] Jesus [2424] rebuked [2008] him [846], saying [3004], Hold thy peace [5392], and [2532] come [1831] out of [1537] him [846]. And [2532] when the devil [1140] had thrown [4496] him [846] in [1519] the midst [3319], he came [1831] out of [575] him [846], and hurt [984] him [846] not [3367]. 42 4 36 And [2532] they were [1096] all [1909] [3956] amazed [2285], and [2532] spake [4814] among [4314] themselves [240], saying [3004], What [5101] a word [3056] is this [3778]! for [3754] with [1722] authority [1849] and [2532] power [1411] he commandeth [2004] the unclean [169] spirits [4151], and [2532] they come out [1831]. 42 4 37 And [2532] the fame [2279] of [4012] him [846] went out [1607] into [1519] every [3956] place [5117] of the country round about [4066]. 42 4 38 And [1161] he arose [450] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], and entered [1525] into [1519] Simon's [4613] house [3614]. And [1161] Simon's [4613] wife's mother [3994] was [2258] taken with [4912] a great [3173] fever [4446]; and [2532] they besought [2065] him [846] for [4012] her [846]. 42 4 39 And [2532] he stood [2186] over [1883] her [846], and rebuked [2008] the fever [4446]; and [2532] it left [863] her [846]: and immediately [3916] she arose [450] and [1161] ministered [1247] unto them [846]. 42 4 40 Now [1161] when the sun [2246] was setting [1416], all [3956] they that [3745] had [2192] any sick [770] with divers [4164] diseases [3554] brought [71] them [846] unto [4314] him [846]; and [1161] he laid [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] every [1538] one [1520] of them [846], and healed [2323] them [846]. 42 4 41 And [1161] devils [1140] also [2532] came [1831] out of [575] many [4183], crying out [2896], and [2532] saying [3004], [3754] Thou [4771] art [1488] Christ [5547] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. And [2532] he rebuking [2008] them suffered [1439] them [846] not [3756] to speak [2980]: for [3754] they knew [1492] that he [846] was [1511] Christ [5547]. 42 4 42 And [1161] when it was [1096] day [2250], he departed [1831] and went [4198] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117]: and [2532] the people [3793] sought [2212] him [846], and [2532] came [2064] unto [2193] him [846], and [2532] stayed [2722] him [846], that he should not [3361] depart [4198] from [575] them [846]. 42 4 43 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], [3754] I [3165] must [1163] preach [2097] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] to other [2087] cities [4172] also [2532]: for [3754] therefore [1519] [5124] am I sent [649]. 42 4 44 And [2532] he preached [2258] [2784] in [1722] the synagogues [4864] of Galilee [1056]. 42 5 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, as [1722] the people [3793] pressed upon [1945] him [846] to hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316], [2532] he [846] stood [2258] [2476] by [3844] the lake [3041] of Gennesaret [1082], 42 5 2 And [2532] saw [1492] two [1417] ships [4143] standing [2476] by [3844] the lake [3041]: but [1161] the fishermen [231] were gone [576] out of [575] them [846], and were washing [637] their nets [1350]. 42 5 3 And [1161] he entered [1684] into [1519] one [1520] of the ships [4143], which [3739] was [2258] Simon's [4613], and prayed [2065] him [846] that he would thrust out [1877] a little [3641] from [575] the land [1093]. And [2532] he sat down [2523], and taught [1321] the people [3793] out of [1537] the ship [4143]. 42 5 4 Now [1161] when [5613] he had left [3973] speaking [2980], he said [2036] unto [4314] Simon [4613], Launch out [1877] into [1519] the deep [899], and [2532] let down [5465] your [5216] nets [1350] for [1519] a draught [61]. 42 5 5 And [2532] Simon [4613] answering [611] said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1988], we have toiled [2872] all [3650] [1223] the night [3571], and have taken [2983] nothing [3762]: nevertheless [1161] at [1909] thy [4675] word [4487] I will let down [5465] the net [1350]. 42 5 6 And [2532] when they had [4160] this [5124] done [4160], they inclosed [4788] a great [4183] multitude [4128] of fishes [2486]: and [1161] their [846] net [1350] brake [1284]. 42 5 7 And [2532] they beckoned [2656] unto their partners [3353], which [3588] were in [1722] the other [2087] ship [4143], that they should come [2064] and help [4815] them [846]. And [2532] they came [2064], and [2532] filled [4130] both [297] the ships [4143], so [5620] that they [846] began to sink [1036]. 42 5 8 When [1161] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] saw [1492] it, he fell down at [4363] Jesus [2424]' knees [1119], saying [3004], Depart [1831] from [575] me [1700]; for [3754] I am [1510] a sinful [268] man [435], O Lord [2962]. 42 5 9 For [1063] he [846] was astonished [4023] [2285], and [2532] all [3956] that were [4862] with him [846], at [1909] the draught [61] of the fishes [2486] which [3739] they had taken [4815]: 42 5 10 And [1161] so [3668] was also [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], the sons [5207] of Zebedee [2199], which [3739] were [2258] partners [2844] with Simon [4613]. And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto [4314] Simon [4613], Fear [5399] not [3361]; from [575] henceforth [3568] thou shalt [2071] catch [2221] men [444]. 42 5 11 And [2532] when they had brought [2609] their ships [4143] to [1909] land [1093], they forsook [863] all [537], and followed [190] him [846]. 42 5 12 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when he [846] was [1511] [1722] in [1722] a certain [3391] city [4172], [2532] behold [2400] a man [435] full [4134] of leprosy [3014]: who [2532] seeing [1492] Jesus [2424] fell [4098] on [1909] his face [4383], and besought [1189] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511]. 42 5 13 And [2532] he put forth [1614] his hand [5495], and touched [680] him [846], saying [2036], I will [2309]: be thou clean [2511]. And [2532] immediately [2112] the leprosy [3014] departed [565] from [575] him [846]. 42 5 14 And [2532] he [846] charged [3853] him [846] to tell [2036] no man [3367]: but [235] go [565], and shew [1166] thyself [4572] to the priest [2409], and [2532] offer [4374] for [4012] thy [4675] cleansing [2512], according as [2531] Moses [3475] commanded [4367], for [1519] a testimony [3142] unto them [846]. 42 5 15 But [1161] so much the more [3123] went there [1330] a fame [3056] abroad [1330] of [4012] him [846]: and [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] came together [4905] to hear [191], and [2532] to be healed [2323] by [5259] him [846] of [575] their [846] infirmities [769]. 42 5 16 And [1161] he withdrew [2258] [5298] himself [846] into [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] prayed [4336]. 42 5 17 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], as [2532] he [846] was [2258] teaching [1321], that [2532] there were [2258] Pharisees [5330] and [2532] doctors of the law [3547] sitting by [2521], which [3739] were [2258] come [2064] out of [1537] every [3956] town [2968] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] Judaea [2449], and [2532] Jerusalem [2419]: and [2532] the power [1411] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] present to [1519] heal [2390] them [846]. 42 5 18 And [2532], behold [2400], men [435] brought [5342] in [1909] a bed [2825] a man [444] which [3739] was [2258] taken with a palsy [3886]: and [2532] they sought [2212] means to bring [1533] him [846] in [1533], and [2532] to lay [5087] him before [1799] him [846]. 42 5 19 And [2532] when they could [2147] not [3361] find [2147] by [1223] what [4169] way they might bring [1533] him [846] in [1533] because [1223] of the multitude [3793], they went [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and let [2524] him [846] down [2524] through [1223] the tiling [2766] with [4862] his couch [2826] into [1519] the midst [3319] before [1715] Jesus [2424]. 42 5 20 And [2532] when he saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [2036] unto him [846], Man [444], thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863] thee [4671]. 42 5 21 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] began [756] to reason [1260], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] which [3739] speaketh [2980] blasphemies [988]? Who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266], but [1508] God [2316] alone [3441]? 42 5 22 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] perceived [1921] their [846] thoughts [1261], he answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], What [5101] reason ye [1260] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]? 42 5 23 Whether [5101] is [2076] easier [2123], to say [2036], Thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671]; or [2228] to say [2036], Rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043]? 42 5 24 But [1161] that [2443] ye may know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] power [1849] upon [1909] earth [1093] to forgive [863] sins [266], (he said [2036] unto the sick of the palsy [3886] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453], and [2532] take up [142] thy [4675] couch [2826], and go [4198] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3624]. 42 5 25 And [2532] immediately [3916] he rose up [450] before [1799] them [846], and took up [142] that whereon [1909] [3739] he lay [2621], and departed [565] to [1519] his own [846] house [3624], glorifying [1392] God [2316]. 42 5 26 And [2532] they were [2983] all [537] amazed [1611], and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], and [2532] were filled [4130] with fear [5401], saying [3004], [3754] We have seen [1492] strange things [3861] to day [4594]. 42 5 27 And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] he went forth [1831], and [2532] saw [2300] a publican [5057], named [3686] Levi [3018], sitting [2521] at [1909] the receipt of custom [5058]: and [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. 42 5 28 And [2532] he left [2641] all [537], rose up [450], and followed [190] him [846]. 42 5 29 And [2532] Levi [3018] made [4160] him [846] a great [3173] feast [1403] in [1722] his own [846] house [3614]: and [2532] there was [2258] a great [4183] company [3793] of publicans [5057] and [2532] of others [243] that [3739] sat down [2258] [2621] with [3326] them [846]. 42 5 30 But [2532] their [846] scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] murmured [1111] against [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], saying [3004], Why [1302] do ye eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095] with [3326] publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]? 42 5 31 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], They that are whole [5198] need [5532] [2192] not [3756] a physician [2395]; but [235] they that are [2192] sick [2560]. 42 5 32 I came [2064] not [3756] to call [2564] the righteous [1342], but [235] sinners [268] to [1519] repentance [3341]. 42 5 33 And [1161] they said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Why [1302] do [3522] the disciples [3101] of John [2491] fast [3522] often [4437], and [2532] make [4160] prayers [1162], and [2532] likewise [3668] the disciples [3588] of the Pharisees [5330]; but [1161] thine [4674] eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095]? 42 5 34 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], [3361] Can ye [1410] make [4160] the children [5207] of the bridechamber [3567] fast [3522], while [3739] [1722] the bridegroom [3566] is [2076] with [3326] them [846]? 42 5 35 But [1161] the days [2250] will come [2064], when [3752] [2532] the bridegroom [3566] shall be taken away [522] from [575] them [846], and then [5119] shall they fast [3522] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250]. 42 5 36 And [1161] he spake [3004] also [2532] a parable [3850] unto [4314] them [846]; [3754] No man [3762] putteth [1911] a piece [1915] of a new [2537] garment [2440] upon [1909] an old [2440] [3820]; if otherwise, then [1490] both [2532] the new [2537] maketh a rent [4977], and [2532] the piece [1915] that was taken out of [575] the new [2537] agreeth [4856] not [3756] with the old [3820]. 42 5 37 And [2532] no man [3762] putteth [906] new [3501] wine [3631] into [1519] old [3820] bottles [779]; else [1490] the new [3501] wine [3631] will burst [4486] the bottles [779], and [2532] [846] be spilled [1632], and [2532] the bottles [779] shall perish [622]. 42 5 38 But [235] new [3501] wine [3631] must be put [992] into [1519] new [2537] bottles [779]; and [2532] both [297] are preserved [4933]. 42 5 39 No man [3762] also [2532] having drunk [4095] old [3820] wine straightway [2112] desireth [2309] new [3501]: for [1063] he saith [3004], The old [3820] is [2076] better [5543]. 42 6 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] the second [1207] sabbath [4521] after the first [1207], that he [846] went [1279] through [1223] the corn fields [4702]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] plucked [5089] the ears of corn [4719], and [2532] did eat [2068], rubbing [5597] them in their hands [5495]. 42 6 2 And [1161] certain [5100] of the Pharisees [5330] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] do ye [4160] that which [3739] is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to do [4160] on [1722] the sabbath days [4521]? 42 6 3 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] them [4314] [846] said [2036], Have ye [314] not [3761] read [314] so much as [3761] this [5124], what [3739] David [1138] did [4160], when [3698] himself [846] was an hungred [3983], and [2532] they which [3588] were [5607] with [3326] him [846]; 42 6 4 How [5613] he went [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of God [2316], and [2532] did take [2983] and [2532] eat [5315] the shewbread [740] [4286], and [2532] gave [1325] also [2532] to them that were with [3326] him [846]; which [3739] it is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] to eat [5315] but for [1508] the priests [2409] alone [3441]? 42 6 5 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], That [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2076] Lord [2962] also [2532] of the sabbath [4521]. 42 6 6 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] also [2532] on [1722] another [2087] sabbath [4521], that he [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] and [2532] taught [1321]: and [2532] there [1563] was [2258] a man [444] whose [2532] [846] right [1188] hand [5495] was [2258] withered [3584]. 42 6 7 And [1161] the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] watched [3906] him [846], whether [1487] he would heal [2323] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]; that [2443] they might find [2147] an accusation [2724] against him [846]. 42 6 8 But [1161] he [846] knew [1492] their [846] thoughts [1261], and [2532] said [2036] to the man [444] which [3588] had [2192] the withered [3584] hand [5495], Rise up [1453], and [2532] stand forth [2476] in [1519] the midst [3319]. And [1161] he arose [450] and stood forth [2476]. 42 6 9 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto [4314] them [846], I will ask [1905] you [5209] one thing [5101]; Is it lawful [1832] on the sabbath days [4521] to do good [15], or [2228] to do evil [2554]? to save [4982] life [5590], or [2228] to destroy [622] it? 42 6 10 And [2532] looking round about upon [4017] them [846] all [3956], he said [2036] unto the man [444], Stretch forth [1614] thy [4675] hand [5495]. And [1161] he did [4160] so [3779]: and [2532] his [846] hand [5495] was restored [600] whole [5199] as [5613] the other [243]. 42 6 11 And [1161] they [846] were filled [4130] with madness [454]; and [2532] communed [1255] one with another [4314] [240] what [5101] [302] they might do [4160] to Jesus [2424]. 42 6 12 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], that he went out [1831] into [1519] a mountain [3735] to pray [4336], and [2532] continued all night [1273] [2258] in [1722] prayer [4335] to God [2316]. 42 6 13 And [2532] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], he called [4377] unto him his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] of [575] them [846] he chose [1586] twelve [1427], whom [3739] also [2532] he named [3687] apostles [652]; 42 6 14 Simon [4613], (whom [3739] he also [2532] named [3687] Peter [4074],) and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], James [2385] and [2532] John [2491], Philip [5376] and [2532] Bartholomew [918], 42 6 15 Matthew [3156] and [2532] Thomas [2381], James [2385] the [3588] son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] called [2564] Zelotes [2208], 42 6 16 And Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385], and [2532] Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], which [3739] also [2532] was [1096] the traitor [4273]. 42 6 17 And [2532] he came down [2597] with [3326] them [846], and stood [2476] in [1909] the plain [3977] [5117], and [2532] the company [3793] of his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] a great [4183] multitude [4128] of people [2992] out of [575] all [3956] Judaea [2449] and [2532] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] from the sea coast [3882] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], which [3739] came [2064] to hear [191] him [846], and [2532] to be healed [2390] of [575] their [846] diseases [3554]; 42 6 18 And [2532] they that were vexed [3791] with [5259] unclean [169] spirits [4151]: and [2532] they were healed [2323]. 42 6 19 And [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] sought [2212] to touch [680] him [846]: for [3754] there went [1831] virtue [1411] out [3844] of him [846], and [2532] healed [2390] them all [3956]. 42 6 20 And [2532] he [846] lifted up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788] on [1519] his [846] disciples [3101], and said [3004], Blessed [3107] be ye poor [4434]: for [3754] yours [5212] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 6 21 Blessed [3107] are ye that hunger [3983] now [3568]: for [3754] ye shall be filled [5526]. Blessed [3107] are ye that weep [2799] now [3568]: for [3754] ye shall laugh [1070]. 42 6 22 Blessed [3107] are ye [2075], when [3752] men [444] shall hate [3404] you [5209], and [2532] when [3752] they shall separate [873] you [5209] from their company, and [2532] shall reproach [3679] you, and [2532] cast out [1544] your [5216] name [3686] as [5613] evil [4190], for the Son [5207] of man's [444] sake [1752]. 42 6 23 Rejoice ye [5463] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250], and [2532] leap for joy [4640]: for [1063], behold [2400], your [5216] reward [3408] is great [4183] in [1722] heaven [3772]: for [1063] in [2596] the like manner [5024] did [4160] their [846] fathers [3962] unto the prophets [4396]. 42 6 24 But [4133] woe [3759] unto you [5213] that are rich [4145]! for [3754] ye have received [568] your [5216] consolation [3874]. 42 6 25 Woe [3759] unto you [5213] that are full [1705] ! for [3754] ye shall hunger [3983]. Woe [3759] unto you [5213] that laugh [1070] now [3568]! for [3754] ye shall mourn [3996] and [2532] weep [2799]. 42 6 26 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], when [3752] all [3956] men [444] shall speak [2036] well [2573] of you [5209]! for [1063] so [5024] [2596] did [4160] their [846] fathers [3962] to the false prophets [5578]. 42 6 27 But [235] I say [3004] unto you [5213] which [3588] hear [191], Love [25] your [5216] enemies [2190], do [4160] good [2573] to them which [3588] hate [3404] you [5209], 42 6 28 Bless [2127] them that curse [2672] you [5213], and [2532] pray [4336] for [5228] them which despitefully use [1908] you [5209]. 42 6 29 And unto him that smiteth [5180] thee [4571] on [1909] the one cheek [4600] offer [3930] also [2532] the other [243]; and [2532] him [575] that taketh away [142] thy [4675] cloke [2440] forbid [2967] not [3361] to take thy coat [5509] also [2532]. 42 6 30 [1161] Give [1325] to every man [3956] that asketh [154] of thee [4571]; and [2532] of [575] him that taketh away [142] thy goods [4674] ask [523] them not [3361] again [523]. 42 6 31 And [2532] as [2531] ye would [2309] that [2443] men [444] should do [4160] to you [5213], do [4160] ye [5210] also [2532] to them [846] likewise [3668]. 42 6 32 For [2532] if [1487] ye love [25] them which love [25] you [5209], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also [2532] love [25] those that love [25] them [846]. 42 6 33 And [2532] if [1437] ye do good [15] to them which do good [15] to you [5209], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also do [4160] even [2532] the same [846]. 42 6 34 And [2532] if [1437] ye lend [1155] to them of [3844] whom [3739] ye hope [1679] [1679] to receive [618], what [4169] thank [5485] have [2076] ye [5213]? for [1063] sinners [268] also [2532] lend [1155] to sinners [268], to [2443] receive [618] as much [2470] again [618]. 42 6 35 But [4133] love ye [25] your [5216] enemies [2190], and [2532] do good [15], and [2532] lend [1155], hoping [560] for nothing [3367] again [560]; and [2532] your [5216] reward [3408] shall be [2071] great [4183], and [2532] ye shall be [2071] the children [5207] of the Highest [5310]: for [3754] he [846] is [2076] kind [5543] unto [1909] the unthankful [884] and [2532] to the evil [4190]. 42 6 36 Be ye [1096] therefore [3767] merciful [3629], as [2531] your [5216] Father [3962] also [2532] is [2076] merciful [3629]. 42 6 37 [2532] Judge [2919] not [3361], and [2532] ye shall [2919] not [3364] be judged [2919]: condemn [2613] not [3361], and [2532] ye shall [2613] not [3364] be condemned [2613]: forgive [630], and [2532] ye shall be forgiven [630]: 42 6 38 Give [1325], and [2532] it shall be given [1325] unto you [5213]; good [2570] measure [3358], pressed down [4085], and [2532] shaken together [4531], and [2532] running over [5240], shall men give [1325] into [1519] your [5216] bosom [2859]. For [1063] with the same [846] measure [3358] that [3739] ye mete withal [3354] it shall be measured [488] to you [5213] again [488]. 42 6 39 And [1161] he spake [2036] a parable [3850] unto them [846], [3385] Can [1410] the blind [5185] lead [3594] the blind [5185]? shall they [297] not [3780] both [297] fall [4098] into [1519] the ditch [999]? 42 6 40 The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his [846] master [1320]: but [1161] every one [3956] that is perfect [2675] shall be [2071] as [5613] his [846] master [1320]. 42 6 41 And [1161] why [5101] beholdest thou [991] the mote [2595] that is in [1722] thy [4675] brother's [80] eye [3788], but [1161] perceivest [2657] not [3756] the beam [1385] that is in [1722] thine own [2398] eye [3788]? 42 6 42 Either [2228] how [4459] canst thou [1410] say [3004] to thy [4675] brother [80], Brother [80], let me [863] pull out [1544] the mote [2595] that is in [1722] thine [4675] eye [3788], when thou [991] thyself [846] beholdest [991] not [3756] the beam [1385] that is in [1722] thine [4675] own eye [3788]? Thou hypocrite [5273], cast out [1544] first [4412] the beam [1385] out of [1537] thine own [4675] eye [3788], and [2532] then [5119] shalt thou see clearly [1227] to pull out [1544] the mote [2595] that is in [1722] thy [4675] brother's [80] eye [3788]. 42 6 43 For [1063] a good [2570] tree [1186] bringeth [2076] [4160] not [3756] forth [4160] corrupt [4550] fruit [2590]; neither [3761] doth [4160] a corrupt [4550] tree [1186] bring forth [4160] good [2570] fruit [2590]. 42 6 44 For [1063] every [1538] tree [1186] is known [1097] by [1537] his own [2398] fruit [2590]. For [1063] of [1537] thorns [173] men do not [3756] gather [4816] figs [4810], nor [3761] of [1537] a bramble bush [942] gather they [5166] grapes [4718]. 42 6 45 A good [18] man [444] out of [1537] the good [18] treasure [2344] of his [846] heart [2588] bringeth forth [4393] that which is good [18]; and [2532] an evil [4190] man [444] out of [1537] the evil [4190] treasure [2344] of his [846] heart [2588] bringeth forth [4393] that which is evil [4190]: for [1063] of [1537] the abundance [4051] of the heart [2588] his [846] mouth [4750] speaketh [2980]. 42 6 46 And [1161] why [5101] call ye [2564] me [3165], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], and [2532] do [4160] not [3756] the things which [3739] I say [3004]? 42 6 47 Whosoever [3956] cometh [2064] to [4314] me [3165], and [2532] heareth [191] my [3450] sayings [3056], and [2532] doeth [4160] them [846], I will shew [5263] you [5213] to whom [5101] he is [2076] like [3664]: 42 6 48 He is [2076] like [3664] a man [444] which [3739] built [3618] an house [3614], and [2532] digged [4626] deep [900], and [2532] laid [5087] the foundation [2310] on [1909] a rock [4073]: and [1161] when the flood [4132] arose [1096], the stream [4215] beat vehemently [4366] upon that [1565] house [3614], and [2532] could [2480] not [3756] shake [4531] it [846]: for [1063] it was founded [2311] upon [1909] a rock [4073]. 42 6 49 But [1161] he that heareth [191], and [2532] doeth [4160] not [3361], is [2076] like [3664] a man [444] that without [5565] a foundation [2310] built [3618] an house [3614] upon [1909] the earth [1093]; against [4366] which [3739] the stream [4215] did beat vehemently [4366], and [2532] immediately [2112] it fell [4098]; and [2532] the ruin [4485] of that [1565] house [3614] was [1096] great [3173]. 42 7 1 Now [1161] when [1893] he had ended [4137] all [3956] his [846] sayings [4487] in [1519] the audience [189] of the people [2992], he entered [1525] into [1519] Capernaum [2584]. 42 7 2 And [1161] a certain [5100] centurion's [1543] servant [1401], who [3739] was [2258] dear [1784] unto him [846], was [2192] sick [2560], and ready [3195] to die [5053]. 42 7 3 And [1161] when he heard [191] of [4012] Jesus [2424], he sent [649] unto [4314] him [846] the elders [4245] of the Jews [2453], beseeching [2065] him [846] that [3704] he would come [2064] and heal [1295] his [846] servant [1401]. 42 7 4 And [1161] when they came [3854] to [4314] Jesus [2424], they besought [3870] him [846] instantly [4709], saying [3004], That [3754] he was [2076] worthy [514] for whom [3739] he should do [3930] this [5124]: 42 7 5 For [1063] he loveth [25] our [2257] nation [1484], and [2532] he [846] hath built [3618] us [2254] a synagogue [4864]. 42 7 6 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] went [4198] with [4862] them [846]. And [1161] when he [846] was [568] now [2235] not [3756] far [3112] from [575] the house [3614], the centurion [1543] sent [3992] friends [5384] to [4314] him [846], saying [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], trouble [4660] not [3361] thyself [4660]: for [1063] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] that [2443] thou shouldest enter [1525] under [5259] my [3450] roof [4721]: 42 7 7 Wherefore [1352] neither [3761] thought I [515] myself [1683] worthy [515] to come [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571]: but [235] say [2036] in a word [3056], and [2532] my [3450] servant [3816] shall be healed [2390]. 42 7 8 For [1063] I [1473] also [2532] am [1510] a man [444] set [5021] under [5259] authority [1849], having [2192] under [5259] me [1683] soldiers [4757], and [2532] I say [3004] unto one [5129], Go [4198], and [2532] he goeth [4198]; and [2532] to another [243], Come [2064], and [2532] he cometh [2064]; and [2532] to my [3450] servant [1401], Do [4160] this [5124], and [2532] he doeth [4160] it. 42 7 9 When [1161] Jesus [2424] heard [191] these things [5023], he marvelled [2296] at him [846], and [2532] turned him about [4762], and said [2036] unto the people [3793] that followed [190] him [846], I say [3004] unto you [5213], I have not found [2147] so great [5118] faith [4102], no, not [3761] in [1722] Israel [2474]. 42 7 10 And [2532] they that were sent [3992], returning [5290] to [1519] the house [3624], found [2147] the servant [1401] whole [5198] that had been sick [770]. 42 7 11 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] [1722] the day after [1836], that he went [4198] into [1519] a city [4172] called [2564] Nain [3484]; and [2532] many [2425] of his [846] disciples [3101] went with [4848] him [846], and [2532] much [4183] people [3793]. 42 7 12 Now [1161] when [5613] he came nigh [1448] to the gate [4439] of the city [4172], behold [2532] [2400], there was [1580] a dead man [2348] carried out [1580], the only [3439] son [5207] of his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] she [846] was [2258] a widow [5503]: and [2532] much [2425] people [3793] of the city [4172] was [2258] with [4862] her [846]. 42 7 13 And [2532] when the Lord [2962] saw [1492] her [846], he had compassion [4697] on [1909] her [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], Weep [2799] not [3361]. 42 7 14 And [2532] he came [4334] and touched [680] the bier [4673]: and [1161] they that bare [941] him stood still [2476]. And [2532] he said [2036], Young man [3495], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453]. 42 7 15 And [2532] he that was dead [3498] sat up [339], and [2532] began [756] to speak [2980]. And [2532] he delivered [1325] him [846] to his [846] mother [3384]. 42 7 16 And [1161] there came [2983] a fear [5401] on all [537]: and [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], That [3754] a great [3173] prophet [4396] is risen up [1453] among [1722] us [2254]; and [2532], That [3754] God [2316] hath visited [1980] his [846] people [2992]. 42 7 17 And [2532] this [3778] rumour [3056] of [4012] him [846] went forth [1831] throughout [1722] all [3650] Judaea [2449], and [2532] throughout [1722] all [3956] the region round about [4066]. 42 7 18 And [2532] the disciples [3101] of John [2491] shewed [518] him [846] of [4012] all [3956] these things [5130]. 42 7 19 And [2532] John [2491] calling [4341] unto him two [1417] [5100] of his [846] disciples [3101] sent [3992] them to [4314] Jesus [2424], saying [3004], Art [1488] thou [4771] he that should come [2064]? or [2228] look we for [4328] another [243]? 42 7 20 When [1161] the men [435] were come [3854] unto [4314] him [846], they said [2036], John [2491] Baptist [910] hath sent [649] us [2248] unto [4314] thee [4571], saying [3004], Art [1488] thou [4771] he that should come [2064]? or [2228] look we for [4328] another [243]? 42 7 21 And [1161] in [1722] that same [846] hour [5610] he cured [2323] many [4183] of [575] their infirmities [3554] and [2532] plagues [3148], and [2532] of evil [4190] spirits [4151]; and [2532] unto many [4183] that were blind [5185] he gave [5483] sight [991]. 42 7 22 Then [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], Go your way [4198], and tell [518] John [2491] what things [3739] ye have seen [1492] and [2532] heard [191]; how [3754] that the blind [5185] see [308], the lame [5560] walk [4043], the lepers [3015] are cleansed [2511], the deaf [2974] hear [191], the dead [3498] are raised [1453], to the poor [4434] the gospel is preached [2097]. 42 7 23 And [2532] blessed [3107] is [2076] he, whosoever [3739] shall [4624] not [3362] be offended [4624] in [1722] me [1698]. 42 7 24 And [1161] when the messengers [32] of John [2491] were departed [565], he began [756] to speak [3004] unto [4314] the people [3793] concerning [4012] John [2491], What [5101] went ye out [1831] into [1519] the wilderness [2048] for to see [2300]? A reed [2563] shaken [4531] with [5259] the wind [417]? 42 7 25 But [235] what [5101] went ye out [1831] for to see [1492]? A man [444] clothed [294] in [1722] soft [3120] raiment [2440]? Behold [2400], they which are [1722] gorgeously [1741] apparelled [2441], and [2532] live [5225] delicately [5172], are [1526] in [1722] kings' courts [933]. 42 7 26 But [235] what [5101] went ye out [1831] for to see [1492]? A prophet [4396]? Yea [3483], I say [3004] unto you [5213], and [2532] much more [4055] than a prophet [4396]. 42 7 27 This [3778] is [2076] he, of [4012] whom [3739] it is written [1125], Behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] my [3450] messenger [32] before [4253] thy [4675] face [4383], which [3739] shall prepare [2680] thy [4675] way [3598] before [1715] thee [4675]. 42 7 28 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Among [1722] those that are born [1084] of women [1135] there is [2076] not [3762] a greater [3187] prophet [4396] than [3187] John [2491] the Baptist [910]: but [1161] he that is least [3398] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is [2076] greater than [3187] he [846]. 42 7 29 And [2532] all [3956] the people [2992] that heard [191] him, and [2532] the publicans [5057], justified [1344] God [2316], being baptized [907] with the baptism [908] of John [2491]. 42 7 30 But [1161] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] lawyers [3544] rejected [114] the counsel [1012] of God [2316] against [1519] themselves [1438], being [907] not [3361] baptized [907] of [5259] him [846]. 42 7 31 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], Whereunto [5101] then [3767] shall I liken [3666] the men [444] of this [5026] generation [1074]? and [2532] to what [5101] are they [1526] like [3664]? 42 7 32 They are [1526] like [3664] unto children [3813] sitting [2521] in [1722] the marketplace [58], and [2532] calling [4377] one to another [240], and [2532] saying [3004], We have piped [832] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye have [3738] not [3756] danced [3738]; we have mourned [2354] to you [5213], and [2532] ye have [2799] not [3756] wept [2799]. 42 7 33 For [1063] John [2491] the Baptist [910] came [2064] neither [3383] eating [2068] bread [740] nor [3383] drinking [4095] wine [3631]; and [2532] ye say [3004], He hath [2192] a devil [1140]. 42 7 34 The Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] eating [2068] and [2532] drinking [4095]; and [2532] ye say [3004], Behold [2400] a gluttonous [5314] man [444], and [2532] a winebibber [3630], a friend [5384] of publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268]! 42 7 35 But [2532] wisdom [4678] is justified [1344] of [575] all [3956] her [846] children [5043]. 42 7 36 And [1161] one [5100] of the Pharisees [5330] desired [2065] him [846] that [2443] he would eat [5315] with [3326] him [846]. And [2532] he went [1525] into [1519] the Pharisee's [5330] house [3614], and sat down to meat [347]. 42 7 37 And [2532], behold [2400], a woman [1135] in [1722] the city [4172], which [3748] was [2258] a sinner [268], when she knew [1921] that [3754] Jesus sat at meat [345] in [1722] the Pharisee's [5330] house [3614], brought [2865] an alabaster box [211] of ointment [3464], 42 7 38 And [2532] stood [2476] at [3844] his [846] feet [4228] behind [3694] him weeping [2799], and began [756] to wash [1026] his [846] feet [4228] with tears [1144], and [2532] did wipe [1591] them with the hairs [2359] of her [846] head [2776], and [2532] kissed [2705] his [846] feet [4228], and [2532] anointed [218] them with the ointment [3464]. 42 7 39 Now [1161] when the Pharisee [5330] which [3588] had bidden [2564] him [846] saw [1492] it, he spake [2036] within [1722] himself [1438], saying [3004], This man [3778], if [1487] he were [2258] a prophet [4396], [302] would have known [1097] who [5101] and [2532] what manner [4217] of woman [1135] this is that [3748] toucheth [680] him [846]: for [3754] she is [2076] a sinner [268]. 42 7 40 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Simon [4613], I have [2192] somewhat [5100] to say [2036] unto thee [4671]. And [1161] he saith [5346], Master [1320], say on [2036]. 42 7 41 There was [2258] a certain [5100] creditor [1157] which had two [1417] debtors [5533]: the one [1520] owed [3784] five hundred [4001] pence [1220], and [1161] the other [2087] fifty [4004]. 42 7 42 And [1161] when they [846] had [2192] nothing [3361] to pay [591], he frankly forgave [5483] them both [297]. Tell me [2036] therefore [3767], which [5101] of them [846] will love [25] him [846] most [4119]? 42 7 43 Simon [4613] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036], I suppose [5274] that [3754] he, to whom [3739] he forgave [5483] most [4119]. And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Thou hast [2919] rightly [3723] judged [2919]. 42 7 44 And [2532] he turned [4762] to [4314] the woman [1135], and said [5346] unto Simon [4613], Seest thou [991] this [5026] woman [1135]? I entered [1525] into [1519] thine [4675] house [3614], thou gavest me [1325] no [3756] water [5204] for [1909] my [3450] feet [4228]: but [1161] she [3778] [846] hath washed [1026] my [3450] feet [4228] with tears [1144], and [2532] wiped [1591] them with the hairs [2359] of her [846] head [2776]. 42 7 45 Thou gavest [1325] me [3427] no [3756] kiss [5370]: but [1161] this woman [3778] [846] since [575] the time [3739] I came in [1525] hath [1257] not [3756] ceased [1257] to kiss [2705] my [3450] feet [4228]. 42 7 46 My [3450] head [2776] with oil [1637] thou didst [218] not [3756] anoint [218]: but [1161] this woman [3778] [846] hath anointed [218] my [3450] feet [4228] with ointment [3464]. 42 7 47 Wherefore [3739] [5484] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Her [846] sins [266], which [3588] are many [4183], are forgiven [863]; for [3754] she loved [25] much [4183]: but [1161] to whom [3739] little [3641] is forgiven [863], the same loveth [25] little [3641]. 42 7 48 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], Thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863]. 42 7 49 And [2532] they that sat at meat with him [4873] began [756] to say [3004] within [1722] themselves [1438], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] that [3739] forgiveth [863] sins [266] also [2532]? 42 7 50 And [1161] he said [2036] to [4314] the woman [1135], Thy [4675] faith [4102] hath saved [4982] thee [4571]; go [4198] in [1519] peace [1515]. 42 8 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096] afterward [1722] [2517], that [2532] he [846] went [1353] throughout every [2596] city [4172] and [2532] village [2968], preaching [2784] and [2532] shewing the glad tidings [2097] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: and [2532] the twelve [1427] were with [4862] him [846], 42 8 2 And [2532] certain [5100] women [1135], which [3739] had been [2258] healed [2323] of [575] evil [4190] spirits [4151] and [2532] infirmities [769], Mary [3137] called [2564] Magdalene [3094], out of [575] whom [3739] went [1831] seven [2033] devils [1140], 42 8 3 And [2532] Joanna [2489] the wife [1135] of Chuza [5529] Herod's [2264] steward [2012], and [2532] Susanna [4677], and [2532] many [4183] others [2087], which [3748] ministered [1247] unto him [846] of [575] their [846] substance [5224]. 42 8 4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]: 42 8 5 A sower [4687] went out [1831] to sow [4687] his [846] seed [4703]: and [2532] as [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598]; and [2532] it was trodden down [2662], and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] devoured [2719] it [846]. 42 8 6 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] upon [1909] a rock [4073]; and [2532] as soon as it was sprung up [5453], it withered away [3583], because [1223] it lacked [3361] [2192] moisture [2429]. 42 8 7 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] among [1722] [3319] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprang up with it [4855], and choked [638] [1970] it [846]. 42 8 8 And [2532] other [2087] fell [4098] on [1909] good [18] ground [1093], and [2532] sprang up [5453], and bare [4160] fruit [2590] an hundredfold [1542]. And when he had said [3004] these things [5023], he cried [5455], He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 42 8 9 And [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] might [1498] this [3778] parable [3850] be [1498]? 42 8 10 And [1161] he said [2036], Unto you [5213] it is given [1325] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: but [1161] to others [3062] in [1722] parables [3850]; that [2443] seeing [991] they might [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] hearing [191] they might [4920] not [3361] understand [4920]. 42 8 11 Now [1161] the parable [3850] is [2076] this [3778]: The seed [4703] is [2076] the word [3056] of God [2316]. 42 8 12 Those [1161] by [3844] the way side [3598] are [1526] they that hear [191]; then [1534] cometh [2064] the devil [1228], and [2532] taketh away [142] the word [3056] out of [575] their [846] hearts [2588], lest [3363] they should believe [4100] and be saved [4982]. 42 8 13 [1161] They on [1909] the rock [4073] are they, which [3739], when [3752] they hear [191], receive [1209] the word [3056] with [3326] joy [5479]; and [2532] these [3778] have [2192] no [3756] root [4491], which [3739] for [4314] a while [2540] believe [4100], and [2532] in [1722] time [2540] of temptation [3986] fall away [868]. 42 8 14 And [1161] that which fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173] are [1526] they [3778], which, when they have heard [191], go forth [4198], and [2532] are choked [4846] with [5259] cares [3308] and [2532] riches [4149] and [2532] pleasures [2237] of this life [979], and [2532] bring [5052] no [3756] fruit to perfection [5052]. 42 8 15 But [1161] that on [1722] the good [2570] ground [1093] are [1526] they [3778], which [3748] in [1722] an honest [2570] and [2532] good [18] heart [2588], having heard [191] the word [3056], keep [2722] it, and [2532] bring forth fruit [2592] with [1722] patience [5281]. 42 8 16 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], covereth [2572] it [846] with a vessel [4632], or [2228] putteth [5087] it under [5270] a bed [2825]; but [235] setteth [2007] it on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which enter in [1531] may see [991] the light [5457]. 42 8 17 For [1063] nothing [3756] is [2076] secret [2927], that [3739] shall [1096] not [3756] be made [1096] manifest [5318]; neither [3761] any thing hid [614], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097] and [2532] come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318]. 42 8 18 Take heed [991] therefore [3767] how [4459] ye hear [191]: for [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]; and [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192] not [3361], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he seemeth [1380] to have [2192]. 42 8 19 Then [1161] came [3854] to [4314] him [846] his mother [3384] and [2532] his [846] brethren [80], and [2532] could [1410] not [3756] come [4940] at him [846] for [1223] the press [3793]. 42 8 20 And [2532] it was told [518] him [846] by certain which said [3004], Thy [4675] mother [3384] and [2532] thy [4675] brethren [80] stand [2476] without [1854], desiring [2309] to see [1492] thee [4571]. 42 8 21 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], My [3450] mother [3384] and [2532] my [3450] brethren [80] are [1526] these [3778] which [3588] hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] do [4160] it [846]. 42 8 22 Now [2532] it came to pass [1096] on [1722] a certain [3391] day [2250], that [2532] he [846] went [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143] with [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Let us go over [1330] unto [1519] the other side [4008] of the lake [3041]. And [2532] they launched forth [321]. 42 8 23 But [1161] as they [846] sailed [4126] he fell asleep [879]: and [2532] there came down [2597] a storm [2978] of wind [417] on [1519] the lake [3041]; and [2532] they were filled [4845] with water, and [2532] were in jeopardy [2793]. 42 8 24 And [1161] they came to him [4334], and awoke [1326] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1988], master [1988], we perish [622]. Then [1161] he arose [1453], and rebuked [2008] the wind [417] and [2532] the raging [2830] of the water [5204]: and [2532] they ceased [3973], and [2532] there was [1096] a calm [1055]. 42 8 25 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Where [4226] is [2076] your [5216] faith [4102]? And [1161] they being afraid [5399] wondered [2296], saying [3004] one to another [4314] [240], What manner of man [5101] [686] is [2076] this [3778]! for [3754] he commandeth [2004] even [2532] the winds [417] and [2532] water [5204], and [2532] they obey [5219] him [846]. 42 8 26 And [2532] they arrived [2668] at [1519] the country [5561] of the Gadarenes [1046], which [3748] is [2076] over against [495] Galilee [1056]. 42 8 27 And [1161] when he [846] went forth [1831] to [1909] land [1093], there met [5221] him [846] out of [1537] the city [4172] a certain [5100] man [435], which [3739] had [2192] devils [1140] long [1537] [2425] time [5550], and [2532] ware [1737] no [3756] clothes [2440], neither [2532] [3756] abode [3306] in [1722] any house [3614], but [235] in [1722] the tombs [3418]. 42 8 28 When [1161] he saw [1492] Jesus [2424], he cried out [349], and [2532] fell down before [4363] him [846], and [2532] with a loud [3173] voice [5456] said [2036], What [5101] have I [1698] to do with [2532] thee [4671], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of God [2316] most high [5310]? I beseech [1189] thee [4675], torment [928] me [3165] not [3361]. 42 8 29 (For [1063] he had commanded [3853] [3853] the unclean [169] spirit [4151] to come [1831] out of [575] the man [444]. For [1063] oftentimes [4183] [5550] it had caught [4884] him [846]: and [2532] he was kept [5442] bound [1196] with chains [254] and [2532] in fetters [3976]; and [2532] he brake [1284] the bands [1199], and was driven [1643] of [5259] the devil [1142] into [1519] the wilderness [2048].) 42 8 30 And [1161] Jesus [2424] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] is [2076] thy [4671] name [3686]? And [1161] he said [2036], Legion [3003]: because [3754] many [4183] devils [1140] were entered [1525] into [1519] him [846]. 42 8 31 And [2532] they besought [3870] [3870] him [846] that [3363] he would [2004] not [3363] command [2004] them [846] to go out [565] into [1519] the deep [12]. 42 8 32 And [1161] there was [2258] there [1563] an herd [34] of many [2425] swine [5519] feeding [1006] on [1722] the mountain [3735]: and [2532] they besought [3870] him [846] that [2443] he would suffer [2010] them [846] to enter [1525] into [1519] them [1565]. And [2532] he suffered [2010] them [846]. 42 8 33 Then [1161] went [1831] the devils [1140] out of [575] the man [444], and entered [1525] into [1519] the swine [5519]: and [2532] the herd [34] ran [3729] violently down [2596] a steep [2911] place into [1519] the lake [3041], and [2532] were choked [638]. 42 8 34 When [1161] they that fed [1006] them saw [1492] what was done [1096], they fled [5343], and [2532] went [565] and told [518] it in [1519] the city [4172] and [2532] in [1519] the country [68]. 42 8 35 Then [1161] they went out [1831] to see [1492] what was done [1096]; and [2532] came [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] found [2147] the man [444], out of [575] whom [3739] the devils [1140] were departed [1831], sitting [2521] at [3844] the feet [4228] of Jesus [2424], clothed [2439], and [2532] in his right mind [4993]: and [2532] they were afraid [5399]. 42 8 36 [1161] They also [2532] which saw [1492] it told [518] them [846] by what means [4459] he that was possessed of the devils [1139] was healed [4982]. 42 8 37 Then [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of the country [4066] of the Gadarenes [1046] round about [4066] besought [2065] him [846] to depart [565] from [575] them [846]; for [3754] they were taken [4912] with great [3173] fear [5401]: and [1161] he [846] went up [1684] into [1519] the ship [4143], and returned back again [5290]. 42 8 38 Now [1161] the man [435] out of [575] whom [3739] the devils [1140] were departed [1831] besought [1189] him [846] that he might be [1511] with [4862] him [846]: but [1161] Jesus [2424] sent [630] him [846] away [630], saying [3004], 42 8 39 Return [5290] to [1519] thine own [4675] house [3624], and [2532] shew [1334] how great things [3745] God [2316] hath done [4160] unto thee [4671]. And [2532] he went his way [565], and published [2784] throughout [2596] the whole [3650] city [4172] how great things [3745] Jesus [2424] had done [4160] unto him [846]. 42 8 40 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, when [1722] Jesus [2424] was returned [5290], the people [3793] gladly received [588] him [846]: for [1063] they were [2258] all [3956] waiting for [4328] him [846]. 42 8 41 And [2532], behold [2400], there came [2064] a man [435] named [3739] [3686] Jairus [2383], and [2532] he [846] was [5225] a ruler [758] of the synagogue [4864]: and [2532] he fell down [4098] at [3844] Jesus [2424]' feet [4228], and besought [3870] him [846] that he would come [1525] into [1519] his [846] house [3624]: 42 8 42 For [3754] he [846] had [2258] one only [3439] daughter [2364], about [5613] twelve [1427] years of age [2094], and [2532] she [3778] [846] lay a dying [599]. But [1161] as [1722] he [846] went [5217] the people [3793] thronged [4846] him [846]. 42 8 43 And [2532] a woman [1135] having [5607] [1722] an issue [4511] of blood [129] twelve [1427] years [575] [2094], which [3748] had spent [4321] all [3650] her living [979] upon [1519] physicians [2395], neither [3756] could [2480] be healed [2323] of [5259] any [3762], 42 8 44 Came [4334] behind [3693] him, and touched [680] the border [2899] of his [846] garment [2440]: and [2532] immediately [3916] her [846] issue [4511] of blood [129] stanched [2476]. 42 8 45 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Who [5101] touched [680] me [3450]? When [1161] all [3956] denied [720], Peter [4074] and [2532] they that were with [3326] him [846] said [2036], Master [1988], the multitude [3793] throng [4912] thee [4571] and [2532] press [598] thee, and [2532] sayest [3004] thou, Who [5101] touched [680] me [3450]? 42 8 46 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Somebody [5100] hath touched [680] me [3450]: for [1063] I [1473] perceive [1097] that virtue [1411] is gone [1831] out of [575] me [1700]. 42 8 47 And [1161] when the woman [1135] saw [1492] that [3754] she was [2990] not [3756] hid [2990], she came [2064] trembling [5141], and [2532] falling down before [4363] him [846], she declared [518] unto him [846] before [1799] all [3956] the people [2992] for [1223] what [3739] cause [156] she had touched [680] him [846], and [2532] how [5613] she was healed [2390] immediately [3916]. 42 8 48 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], Daughter [2364], be of good comfort [2293]: thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]; go [4198] in [1519] peace [1515]. 42 8 49 While he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], there cometh [2064] one [5100] from [3844] the ruler of the synagogue's [752] house, saying [3004] to him [846], [3754] Thy [4675] daughter [2364] is dead [2348]; trouble [4660] not [3361] the Master [1320]. 42 8 50 But [1161] when Jesus [2424] heard [191] it, he answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], Fear [5399] not [3361]: believe [4100] only [3440], and [2532] she shall be made whole [4982]. 42 8 51 And [1161] when he came [1525] into [1519] the house [3614], he suffered [863] no [3756] man [3762] to go in [1525], save [1508] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] the father [3962] and [2532] the mother [3384] of the maiden [3816]. 42 8 52 And [1161] all [3956] wept [2799], and [2532] bewailed [2875] her [846]: but [1161] he said [2036], Weep [2799] not [3361]; she is [599] not [3756] dead [599], but [235] sleepeth [2518]. 42 8 53 And [2532] they laughed [2606] him [846] to scorn [2606], knowing [1492] that [3754] she was dead [599]. 42 8 54 And [1161] he [846] put [1544] them all [3956] out [1854], and [2532] took [2902] her [846] by the hand [5495], and called [5455], saying [3004], Maid [3816], arise [1453]. 42 8 55 And [2532] her [846] spirit [4151] came again [1994], and [2532] she arose [450] straightway [3916]: and [2532] he commanded [1299] to give [1325] her [846] meat [5315]. 42 8 56 And [2532] her [846] parents [1118] were astonished [1839]: but [1161] he charged [3853] them [846] that they should tell [2036] no man [3367] what was done [1096]. 42 9 1 Then [1161] he called [4779] his [846] twelve [1427] disciples [3101] together [4779], and [2532] gave [1325] them [846] power [1411] and authority [1849] over [1909] all [3956] devils [1140], and [2532] to cure [2323] diseases [3554]. 42 9 2 And [2532] he sent [649] them [846] to preach [2784] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] to heal [2390] the sick [770]. 42 9 3 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Take [142] nothing [3367] for [1519] your journey [3598], neither [3383] staves [4464], nor [3383] scrip [4082], neither [3383] bread [740], neither [3383] money [694]; neither [3383] have [2192] two [1417] coats [5509] apiece [303]. 42 9 4 And [2532] whatsoever [3739] [302] house [3614] ye enter [1525] into [1519], there [1563] abide [3306], and [2532] thence [1564] depart [1831]. 42 9 5 And [2532] whosoever [3745] [302] will [1209] not [3361] receive [1209] you [5209], when ye go [1831] out of [575] that [1565] city [4172], shake off [660] the very [2532] dust [2868] from [575] your [5216] feet [4228] for [1519] a testimony [3142] against [1909] them [846]. 42 9 6 And [1161] they departed [1831], and went [1330] through [2596] the towns [2968], preaching the gospel [2097], and [2532] healing [2323] every where [3837]. 42 9 7 Now [1161] Herod [2264] the tetrarch [5076] heard [191] of all [3956] that was done [1096] by [5259] him [846]: and [2532] he was perplexed [1280], because [1223] that it was said [3004] of [5259] some [5100], that [3754] John [2491] was risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]; 42 9 8 And [1161] of [5259] some [5100], that [3754] Elias [2243] had appeared [5316]; and [1161] of others [243], that [3754] one [1520] of the old [744] prophets [4396] was risen again [450]. 42 9 9 And [2532] Herod [2264] said [2036], John [2491] have [607] I [1473] beheaded [607]: but [1161] who [5101] is [2076] this [3778], of [4012] whom [3739] I [1473] hear [191] such things [5108]? And [2532] he desired [2212] to see [1492] him [846]. 42 9 10 And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966]. 42 9 11 And [1161] the people [3793], when they knew [1097] it, followed [190] him [846]: and [2532] he received [1209] them [846], and spake [2980] unto them [846] of [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] healed [2390] them that had [2192] need [5532] of healing [2322]. 42 9 12 And [1161] when the day [2250] began [756] to wear away [2827], then [1161] came [4334] the twelve [1427], and said [2036] unto him [846], Send [630] the multitude [3793] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the towns [2968] and [2532] country [68] round about [2945], and lodge [2647], and [2532] get [2147] victuals [1979]: for [3754] we are [2070] here [5602] in [1722] a desert [2048] place [5117]. 42 9 13 But [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. And [1161] they said [2036], We [2254] have no [3756] [1526] more [4119] but [2228] five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486]; except [1509] we [2249] should go [4198] and buy [59] meat [1033] for [1519] all [3956] this [5126] people [2992]. 42 9 14 For [1063] they were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435]. And [1161] he said [2036] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], Make [2625] them [846] sit down [2625] by [303] fifties [4004] in a company [2828]. 42 9 15 And [2532] they did [4160] so [3779], and [2532] made [347] them all [537] sit down [347]. 42 9 16 Then [1161] he took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127] them [846], and [2532] brake [2622], and [2532] gave [1325] to the disciples [3101] to set before [3908] the multitude [3793]. 42 9 17 And [2532] they did eat [5315], and [2532] were [5526] all [3956] filled [5526]: and [2532] there was taken up [142] of fragments [2801] that remained [4052] to them [846] twelve [1427] baskets [2894]. 42 9 18 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he was [1511] alone [2651] praying [4336], his [846] disciples [3101] were with [4895] him [846]: and [2532] he asked [1905] them [846], saying [3004], Whom [5101] say [3004] the people [3793] that I [3165] am [1511]? 42 9 19 They [1161] answering [611] said [2036], John [2491] the Baptist [910]; but [1161] some [243] say, Elias [2243]; and [1161] others [243] say, that [3754] one [5100] of the old [744] prophets [4396] is risen again [450]. 42 9 20 [1161] He said [2036] unto them [846], But [1161] whom [5101] say [3004] ye [5210] that I [3165] am [1511]? [1161] Peter [4074] answering [611] said [2036], The Christ [5547] of God [2316]. 42 9 21 And [1161] he straitly charged [2008] them [846], and commanded [3853] them to tell [2036] no man [3367] that thing [5124]; 42 9 22 Saying [2036], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be slain [615], and [2532] be raised [1453] the third [5154] day [2250]. 42 9 23 And [1161] he said [3004] to [4314] them all [3956], If any man [1536] will [2309] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], let him deny [533] himself [1438], and [2532] take up [142] his [846] cross [4716] daily [2250] [2596], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427]. 42 9 24 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] will [2309] save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]: but [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] will lose [622] his [846] life [5590] for my [1700] sake [1752], the same [3778] shall save [4982] it [846]. 42 9 25 For [1063] what [5101] is [5623] a man [444] advantaged [5623], if he gain [2770] the whole [3650] world [2889], and [1161] lose [622] himself [1438], or [2228] be cast away [2210]? 42 9 26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32]. 42 9 27 But [1161] I tell [3004] you [5213] of a truth [230], there be [1526] some [5100] standing [2476] here [5602], which [3739] shall [1089] not [3364] taste [1089] of death [2288], till [2193] [302] they see [1492] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 9 28 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] about [5616] an eight [3638] days [2250] after [3326] these [5128] sayings [3056], [2532] he took [3880] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] and [2532] James [2385], and went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735] to pray [4336]. 42 9 29 And [2532] as [1722] he [846] prayed [4336], the fashion [1491] of his [846] countenance [4383] was [1096] altered [2087], and [2532] his [846] raiment [2441] was white [3022] and glistering [1823]. 42 9 30 And [2532], behold [2400], there talked [4814] with him [846] two [1417] men [435], which [3748] were [2258] Moses [3475] and [2532] Elias [2243]: 42 9 31 Who [3739] appeared [3700] in [1722] glory [1391], and spake [3004] of his [846] decease [1841] which [3739] he should [3195] accomplish [4137] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 9 32 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846] were [2258] heavy [916] with sleep [5258]: and [1161] when they were awake [1235], they saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] the two [1417] men [435] that stood with [4921] him [846]. 42 9 33 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] they [846] departed [1316] from [575] him [846], Peter [4074] said [2036] unto [4314] Jesus [2424], Master [1988], it is [2076] good [2570] for us [2248] to be [1511] here [5602]: and [2532] let us make [4160] three [5140] tabernacles [4633]; one for [3391] thee [4671], and [2532] one for [3391] Moses [3475], and [2532] one for [3391] Elias [2243]: not [3361] knowing [1492] what [3739] he said [3004]. 42 9 34 While [1161] he [846] thus [5023] spake [3004], there came [1096] a cloud [3507], and [2532] overshadowed [1982] them [846]: and [1161] they feared [5399] as [1722] they [1565] entered [1525] into [1519] the cloud [3507]. 42 9 35 And [2532] there came [1096] a voice [5456] out of [1537] the cloud [3507], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207]: hear [191] him [846]. 42 9 36 And [2532] when the voice [5456] was past [1722] [1096], Jesus [2424] was found [2147] alone [3441]. And [2532] they [846] kept it close [4601], and [2532] told [518] no man [3762] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250] any [3762] of those things which [3739] they had seen [3708]. 42 9 37 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that on [1722] the next [1836] day [2250], when they [846] were come down [2718] from [575] the hill [3735], much [4183] people [3793] met [4876] him [846]. 42 9 38 And, [2532] behold [2400], a man [435] of [575] the company [3793] cried out [310], saying [3004], Master [1320], I beseech [1189] thee [4675], look [1914] upon [1909] my [3450] son [5207]: for [3754] he is [2076] mine [3427] only child [3439]. 42 9 39 And [2532], lo [2400], a spirit [4151] taketh [2983] him [846], and [2532] he suddenly [1810] crieth out [2896]; and [2532] it teareth [4682] him [846] that he foameth [876] again [3326], and [2532] bruising [4937] him [846] hardly [3425] departeth [672] from [575] him [846]. 42 9 40 And [2532] I besought [1189] thy [4675] disciples [3101] to [2443] cast [1544] him [846] out [1544]; and [2532] they could [1410] not [3756]. 42 9 41 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036], O [5599] faithless [571] and [2532] perverse [1294] generation [1074], how [2193] long [4219] shall I be [2071] with [4314] you [5209], and [2532] suffer [430] you [5216]? Bring [4317] thy [4675] son [5207] hither [5602]. 42 9 42 And [1161] as he [846] was [4334] yet [2089] a coming [4334], the devil [1140] threw [4486] him [846] down [4486], and [2532] tare [4952] him. And [1161] Jesus [2424] rebuked [2008] the unclean [169] spirit [4151], and [2532] healed [2390] the child [3816], and [2532] delivered [591] him [846] again [591] to his [846] father [3962]. 42 9 43 And [1161] they were [1605] all [3956] amazed [1605] at [1909] the mighty power [3168] of God [2316]. But [1161] while they wondered [2296] every one [3956] at [1909] all things [3956] which [3739] Jesus [2424] did [4160], he said [2036] unto [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], 42 9 44 Let these [5128] sayings [3056] sink down [5087] into [1519] your [5210] [5216] ears [3775]: for [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall be [3195] delivered [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of men [444]. 42 9 45 But [1161] they understood not [50] this [5124] saying [4487], and [2532] it was [2258] hid [3871] from [575] them [846], that [3363] they perceived [143] it [846] not [3363]: and [2532] they feared [5399] to ask [2065] him [846] of [4012] that [5127] saying [4487]. 42 9 46 Then [1161] there arose [1525] a reasoning [1261] among [1722] them [846], which [5101] [302] of them [846] should be [1498] greatest [3187]. 42 9 47 And [1161] Jesus [2424], perceiving [1492] the thought [1261] of their [846] heart [2588], took [1949] a child [3813], and set [2476] him [846] by [3844] him [1438], 42 9 48 And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] this [5124] child [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686] receiveth [1209] me [1691]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] me [1691] receiveth him [1209] that sent [649] me [3165]: for [1063] he that is [5225] least [3398] among [1722] you [5213] all [3956], the same [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173]. 42 9 49 And [1161] John [2491] answered [611] and said [2036], Master [1988], we saw [1492] one [5100] casting out [1544] devils [1140] in [1909] thy [4675] name [3686]; and [2532] we forbad [2967] him [846], because [3754] he followeth [190] not [3756] with [3326] us [2257]. 42 9 50 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Forbid [2967] him not [3361]: for [1063] he [3739] that is [2076] not [3756] against [2596] us [2257] is [2076] for [5228] us [2257]. 42 9 51 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], when [1722] the time [2250] was come [4845] that he [846] should be received up [354], [2532] he [846] stedfastly set [4741] his [846] face [4383] to go [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], 42 9 52 And [2532] sent [649] messengers [32] before [4253] his [846] face [4383]: and [2532] they went [4198], and entered [1525] into [1519] a village [2968] of the Samaritans [4541], to [5620] make ready [2090] for him [846]. 42 9 53 And [2532] they did [1209] not [3756] receive [1209] him [846], because [3754] his [846] face [4383] was [2258] as though he would go [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 9 54 And [1161] when his [846] disciples [3101] James [2385] and [2532] John [2491] saw [1492] this, they said [2036], Lord [2962], wilt thou [2309] that we command [2036] fire [4442] to come down [2597] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] consume [355] them [846], even [2532] as [5613] Elias [2243] did [4160]? 42 9 55 But [1161] he turned [4762], and rebuked [2008] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], Ye know [1492] not [3756] what manner [3634] of spirit [4151] ye [5210] are of [2075]. 42 9 56 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is [2064] not [3756] come [2064] to destroy [622] men's [444] lives [5590], but [235] to save [4982] them. And [2532] they went [4198] to [1519] another [2087] village [2968]. 42 9 57 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, as they [846] went [4198] in [1722] the way [3598], a certain [5100] man said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Lord [2962], I will follow [190] thee [4671] whithersoever [3699] [302] thou goest [565]. 42 9 58 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Foxes [258] have [2192] holes [5454], and [2532] birds [4071] of the air [3772] have nests [2682]; but [1161] the Son [5207] of man [444] hath [2192] not [3756] where [4226] to lay [2827] his head [2776]. 42 9 59 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] another [2087], Follow [190] me [3427]. But [1161] he said [2036], Lord [2962], suffer [2010] me [3427] first [4412] to go [565] and bury [2290] my [3450] father [3962]. 42 9 60 [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Let [863] the dead [3498] bury [2290] their [1438] dead [3498]: but [1161] go [565] thou [4771] and preach [1229] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 9 61 And [1161] another [2087] also [2532] said [2036], Lord [2962], I will follow [190] thee [4671]; but [1161] let [2010] me [3427] first [4412] go bid them farewell [657], which are at home at [1519] my [3450] house [3624]. 42 9 62 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], No man [3762], having put [1911] his [846] hand [5495] to [1909] the plough [723], and [2532] looking [991] back [1519] [3694], is [2076] fit [2111] for [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 10 1 [1161] After [3326] these things [5023] the Lord [2962] appointed [322] other [2087] seventy [1440] also [2532], and [2532] sent [649] them [846] two [303] and two [1417] before [4253] his [846] face [4383] into [1519] every [3956] city [4172] and [2532] place [5117], whither [3757] [3739] he himself [846] would [3195] come [2064]. 42 10 2 Therefore [3767] said he [3004] unto [4314] them [846], The harvest [2326] truly [3303] is great [4183], but [1161] the labourers [2040] are few [3641]: pray ye [1189] therefore [3767] the Lord [2962] of the harvest [2326], that [3704] he would send forth [1544] labourers [2040] into [1519] his [846] harvest [2326]. 42 10 3 Go your ways [5217]: behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] you [5209] forth [649] as [5613] lambs [704] among [1722] [3319] wolves [3074]. 42 10 4 Carry [941] neither [3361] purse [905], nor [3361] scrip [4082], nor [3366] shoes [5266]: and [2532] salute [782] no man [3367] by [2596] the way [3598]. 42 10 5 And [1161] into [1519] whatsoever [3739] [302] house [3614] ye enter [1525], first [4412] say [3004], Peace [1515] be to this [5129] house [3624]. 42 10 6 And [2532] if [1437] [3303] the son [5207] of peace [1515] be [5600] there [1563], your [5216] peace [1515] shall rest [1879] upon [1909] it [846]: if not [1490], it shall turn [344] to [1909] you [5209] again [344]. 42 10 7 And [1161] in [1722] the same [846] house [3614] remain [3306], eating [2068] and [2532] drinking [4095] such things as [3844] they [846] give [3844]: for [1063] the labourer [2040] is [2076] worthy [514] of his [846] hire [3408]. Go [3327] not [3361] from [1537] house [3614] to [1519] house [3614]. 42 10 8 And [2532] into [1519] whatsoever [1161] [3739] [302] city [4172] ye enter [1525], and [2532] they receive [1209] you [5209], eat such things [2068] as are set before [3908] you [5213]: 42 10 9 And [2532] heal [2323] the sick [772] that are therein [1722] [846], and [2532] say [3004] unto them [846], The kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come nigh [1448] unto [1909] you [5209]. 42 10 10 But [1161] into [1519] whatsoever [3739] [302] city [4172] ye enter [1525], and [2532] they receive [1209] you [5209] not [3361], go your ways out [1831] into [1519] the streets [4113] of the same [846], and say [2036], 42 10 11 Even [2532] the very dust [2868] of [1537] your [5216] city [4172], which [3588] cleaveth [2853] on us [2254], we do wipe off [631] against you [5213]: notwithstanding [4133] be ye sure [1097] of this [5124], that [3754] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come nigh [1448] unto [1909] you [5209]. 42 10 12 But [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] it shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250] for Sodom [4670], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172]. 42 10 13 Woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Chorazin [5523]! woe [3759] unto thee [4671], Bethsaida [966]! for [3754] if [1487] the mighty works [1411] had been done [1096] in [1722] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], which [3588] have been done [1096] in [1722] you [5213], they had [3340] a great while ago [3819] repented [3340], sitting [2521] in [302] [1722] sackcloth [4526] and [2532] ashes [4700]. 42 10 14 But [4133] it shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605] at [1722] the judgment [2920], than [2228] for you [5213]. 42 10 15 And [2532] thou [4771], Capernaum [2584], which [3588] art exalted [5312] to [2193] heaven [3772], shalt be thrust down [2601] to [2193] hell [86]. 42 10 16 He that heareth [191] you [5216] heareth [191] me [1700]; and [2532] he that despiseth [114] you [5209] despiseth [114] me [1691]; and [1161] he that despiseth [114] me [1691] despiseth [114] him that sent [649] me [3165]. 42 10 17 And [1161] the seventy [1440] returned again [5290] with [3326] joy [5479], saying [3004], Lord [2962], even [2532] the devils [1140] are subject [5293] unto us [2254] through [1722] thy [4675] name [3686]. 42 10 18 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], I beheld [2334] Satan [4567] as [5613] lightning [796] fall [4098] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 42 10 19 Behold [2400], I give [1325] unto you [5213] power [1849] to tread [3961] on [1883] serpents [3789] and [2532] scorpions [4651], and [2532] over [1909] all [3956] the power [1411] of the enemy [2190]: and [2532] nothing [3762] shall [91] by any means [3364] hurt [91] [91] you [5209]. 42 10 20 Notwithstanding [4133] in [1722] this [5129] rejoice [5463] not [3361], that [3754] the spirits [4151] are subject [5293] unto you [5213]; but [1161] rather [3123] rejoice [5463], because [3754] your [5216] names [3686] are written [1125] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 42 10 21 In [1722] that [846] hour [5610] Jesus [2424] rejoiced in [21] spirit [4151], and [2532] said [2036], I thank [1843] thee [4671], O Father [3962], Lord [2962] of heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093], that [3754] thou hast hid [613] these things [5023] from [575] the wise [4680] and [2532] prudent [4908], and [2532] hast revealed [601] them [846] unto babes [3516]: even so [3483], Father [3962]; for [3754] so [3779] it seemed [1096] good [2107] in [1715] thy [4675] sight [1715]. 42 10 22 All things [3956] are delivered [3860] to me [3427] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962]: and [2532] no man [3762] knoweth [1097] who [5101] the Son [5207] is [2076], but [1508] the Father [3962]; and [2532] who [5101] the Father [3962] is [2076], but [1508] the Son [5207], and [2532] he to whom [3739] [1437] the Son [5207] will [1014] reveal [601] him. 42 10 23 And [2532] he turned him [4762] unto [4314] his disciples [3101], and said [2036] privately [2398] [2596], Blessed [3107] are the eyes [3788] which [3588] see [991] the things that [3739] ye see [991]: 42 10 24 For [1063] I tell [3004] you [5213], that [3754] many [4183] prophets [4396] and [2532] kings [935] have desired [2309] to see [1492] those things which [3739] ye [5210] see [991], and [2532] have [1492] not [3756] seen [1492] them; and [2532] to hear [191] those things which [3739] ye hear [191], and [2532] have [191] not [3756] heard [191] them. 42 10 25 And [2532], behold [2400], a certain [5100] lawyer [3544] stood up [450], and [2532] tempted [1598] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], what [5101] shall I do [4160] to inherit [2816] eternal [166] life [2222]? 42 10 26 [1161] He said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], What [5101] is written [1125] in [1722] the law [3551]? how [4459] readest thou [314]? 42 10 27 And [1161] he answering [611] said [2036], Thou shalt love [25] the Lord [2962] thy [4675] God [2316] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] heart [2588], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] soul [5590], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] strength [2479], and [2532] with [1537] all [3650] thy [4675] mind [1271]; and [2532] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572]. 42 10 28 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Thou hast answered [611] right [3723]: this [5124] do [4160], and [2532] thou shalt live [2198]. 42 10 29 But [1161] he, willing [2309] to justify [1344] himself [1438], said [2036] unto [4314] Jesus [2424], And [2532] who [5101] is [2076] my [3450] neighbour [4139]? 42 10 30 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [5274] said [2036], A certain [5100] man [444] went down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2419] to [1519] Jericho [2410], and [2532] fell among [4045] thieves [3027], which [3739] [2532] stripped [1562] him [846] of his raiment [1562], and [2532] wounded [4127] [2007] him, and departed [565], leaving [863] him half dead [2253] [5177]. 42 10 31 And [1161] by [2596] chance [4795] there came down [2597] a certain [5100] priest [2409] that [1722] [1565] way [3598]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he passed by on the other side [492]. 42 10 32 And [1161] likewise [3668] [2532] a Levite [3019], when he was [1096] at [2596] the place [5117], came [2064] and [2532] looked [1492] on him, and passed by on the other side [492]. 42 10 33 But [1161] a certain [5100] Samaritan [4541], as he journeyed [3593], came [2064] where [2596] he was [846]: and [2532] when he saw [1492] him [846], he had compassion [4697] on him, 42 10 34 And [2532] went [4334] to him, and bound up [2611] his [846] wounds [5134], pouring in [2022] oil [1637] and [2532] wine [3631], and [1161] set [1913] him [846] on [1909] his own [2398] beast [2934], and brought [71] him [846] to [1519] an inn [3829], and [2532] took care [1959] of him [846]. 42 10 35 And [2532] on [1909] the morrow [839] when he departed [1831], he took out [1544] two [1417] pence [1220], and gave [1325] them to the host [3830], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Take care [1959] of him [846]; and [2532] whatsoever [3748] [302] thou spendest more [4325], when I [3165] come again [1722] [1880], I [1473] will repay [591] thee [4671]. 42 10 36 Which [5101] now [3767] of these [5130] three [5140], thinkest [1380] thou [4671], was [1096] neighbour [4139] unto him that fell [1706] among [1519] the thieves [3027]? 42 10 37 And [1161] he said [2036], He that shewed [4160] mercy [1656] on [3326] him [846]. Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], Go [4198], and [2532] do [4160] thou [4771] likewise [3668]. 42 10 38 Now [1161] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] they [846] went [4198], that [2532] he [846] entered [1525] into [1519] a certain [5100] village [2968]: and [1161] a certain [5100] woman [1135] named [3686] Martha [3136] received [5264] him [846] into [1519] her [846] house [3624]. 42 10 39 And [2532] she [3592] had [2258] a sister [79] called [2564] Mary [3137], which [3739] also [2532] sat [3869] at [3844] Jesus [2424]' feet [4228], and heard [191] his [846] word [3056]. 42 10 40 But [1161] Martha [3136] was cumbered [4049] about [4012] much [4183] serving [1248], and [1161] came to him [2186], and said [2036], Lord [2962], dost [3199] thou [4671] not [3756] care [3199] that [3754] my [3450] sister [79] hath left [2641] me [3165] to serve [1247] alone [3441]? bid [2036] her [846] therefore [3767] that [2443] she help [4878] me [3427]. 42 10 41 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], Martha [3136], Martha [3136], thou art careful [3309] and [2532] troubled [5182] about [4012] many things [4183]: 42 10 42 But [1161] one thing [1520] is [2076] needful [5532]: and [1161] Mary [3137] hath chosen [1586] that good [18] part [3310], which [3748] shall [851] not [3756] be taken away [851] from [575] her [846]. 42 11 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, as [1722] he [846] was [1511] praying [4336] in [1722] a certain [5100] place [5117], when [5613] he ceased [3973], one [5100] of his [846] disciples [3101] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Lord [2962], teach [1321] us [2248] to pray [4336], as [2531] John [2491] also [2532] taught [1321] his [846] disciples [3101]. 42 11 2 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], When [3752] ye pray [4336], say [3004], Our [2257] Father [3962] which [3588] art in [1722] heaven [3772], Hallowed be [37] thy [4675] name [3686]. Thy [4675] kingdom [932] come [2064]. Thy [4675] will [2307] be done [1096], as [5613] in [1722] heaven [3772], so [2532] in [1909] earth [1093]. 42 11 3 Give [1325] us [2254] day [2596] by day [2250] our [2257] daily [1967] bread [740]. 42 11 4 And [2532] forgive [863] us [2254] our [2257] sins [266]; for [1063] we [846] also [2532] forgive [863] every one [3956] that is indebted [3784] to us [2254]. And [2532] lead [1533] us [2248] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986]; but [235] deliver [4506] us [2248] from [575] evil [4190]. 42 11 5 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Which [5101] of [1537] you [5216] shall have [2192] a friend [5384], and [2532] shall go [4198] unto [4314] him [846] at midnight [3317], and [2532] say [2036] unto him [846], Friend [5384], lend [5531] me [3427] three [5140] loaves [740]; 42 11 6 For [1894] a friend [5384] of mine [3450] in [1537] his journey [3598] is come [3854] to [4314] me [3165], and [2532] I have [2192] nothing [3756] [3739] to set before [3908] him [846]? 42 11 7 And he [2548] from within [2081] shall answer [611] and say [2036], Trouble [2873] [3930] me [3427] not [3361]: the door [2374] is [2808] now [2235] shut [2808], and [2532] my [3450] children [3813] are [1526] with [3326] me [1700] in [1519] bed [2845]; I cannot [3756] [1410] rise [450] and give [1325] thee [4671]. 42 11 8 I say [3004] unto you [5213], Though [1499] he will [1453] not [3756] rise [1453] and give [1325] him [846], because [1223] he is [1511] his [846] friend [5384], yet [1065] because [1223] of his [846] importunity [335] he will rise [450] and give [1325] him [846] as many as [3745] he needeth [5535]. 42 11 9 And [2504] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ask [154], and [2532] it shall be given [1325] you [5213]; seek [2212], and [2532] ye shall find [2147]; knock [2925], and [2532] it shall be opened [455] unto you [5213]. 42 11 10 For [1063] every one [3956] that asketh [154] receiveth [2983]; and [2532] he that seeketh [2212] findeth [2147]; and [2532] to him that knocketh [2925] it shall be opened [455]. 42 11 11 If [1161] a son [5207] shall ask [154] bread [740] of any of you [5216] that is a father [3962] [5101], will he give [1929] [3361] him [846] a stone [3037]? or [1499] if he ask a fish [2486], will he [1929] for [473] a fish [2486] give [1929] [3361] him [846] a serpent [3789]? 42 11 12 Or [2228] [2532] if [1437] he shall ask [154] an egg [5609], will he offer [3361] [1929] him [846] a scorpion [4651]? 42 11 13 If [1487] ye [5210] then [3767], being [5225] evil [4190], know [1492] how to give [1325] good [18] gifts [1390] unto your [5216] children [5043]: how much [4214] more [3123] shall [1325] your heavenly [3772] Father [3962] [1537] give [1325] the Holy [40] Spirit [4151] to them that ask [154] him [846]? 42 11 14 And [2532] he was [2258] casting out [1544] a devil [1140], and [2532] it [846] was [2258] dumb [2974]. And [1161] it came to pass [1096], when the devil [1140] was gone out [1831], the dumb [2974] spake [2980]; and [2532] the people [3793] wondered [2296]. 42 11 15 But [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] said [2036], He casteth out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] Beelzebub [954] the chief [758] of the devils [1140]. 42 11 16 And [1161] others [2087], tempting [3985] him, sought [2212] of [3844] him [846] a sign [4592] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 42 11 17 But [1161] he [846], knowing [1492] their [846] thoughts [1270], said [2036] unto them [846], Every [3956] kingdom [932] divided [1266] against [1909] itself [1438] is brought to desolation [2049]; and [2532] a house [3624] divided against [1909] a house [3624] falleth [4098]. 42 11 18 If [1161] [1499] Satan [4567] also [1499] be divided [1266] against [1909] himself [1438], how [4459] shall [2476] his [846] kingdom [932] stand [2476]? because [3754] ye say [3004] that I [3165] cast out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] Beelzebub [954]. 42 11 19 And [1161] if [1487] I [1473] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] cast out [1544] devils [1140], by [1722] whom [5101] do [1544] your [5216] sons [5207] cast them out [1544]? therefore [1223] [5124] shall they [846] be [2071] your [5216] judges [2923]. 42 11 20 But [1161] if [1487] I with [1722] the finger [1147] of God [2316] cast out [1544] devils [1140], no doubt [686] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is come [5348] upon [1909] you [5209]. 42 11 21 When [3752] a strong man [2478] armed [2528] keepeth [5442] his [833] palace [1438], his [846] goods [5224] are [2076] in [1722] peace [1515]: 42 11 22 But [1161] when [1875] a stronger [2478] than he [846] shall come upon him [1904], and overcome [3528] him [846], he taketh [142] from him [846] all his armour [3833] wherein [1909] [3739] he trusted [3982], and [2532] divideth [1239] his [846] spoils [4661]. 42 11 23 He that is [5607] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] is [2076] against [2596] me [1700]: and [2532] he that gathereth [4863] not [3361] with [3326] me [1700] scattereth [4650]. 42 11 24 When [3752] the unclean [169] spirit [4151] is gone [1831] out of [575] a man [444], he walketh [1330] through [1223] dry [504] places [5117], seeking [2212] rest [372]; and [2532] finding [2147] none [3361], he saith [3004], I will return [5290] unto [1519] my [3450] house [3624] whence [3606] I came out [1831]. 42 11 25 And [2532] when he cometh [2064], he findeth [2147] it swept [4563] and [2532] garnished [2885]. 42 11 26 Then [5119] goeth he [4198], and [2532] taketh [3880] to him seven [2033] other [2087] spirits [4151] more wicked [4191] than himself [1438]; and [2532] they enter in [1525], and dwell [2730] there [1563]: and [2532] the last [2078] state of that [1565] man [444] is [1096] worse [5501] than the first [4413]. 42 11 27 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he [846] spake [3004] these things [5023], a certain [5100] woman [1135] of [1537] the company [3793] lifted up [1869] her voice [5456], and said [2036] unto him [846], Blessed [3107] is the womb [2836] that bare [941] thee [4571], and [2532] the paps [3149] which [3739] thou hast sucked [2337]. 42 11 28 But [1161] he [846] said [2036], Yea rather [3304], blessed [3107] are they that hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] keep [5442] it [846]. 42 11 29 And [1161] when the people [3793] were gathered thick together [1865], he began [756] to say [3004], This [3778] is [2076] an evil [4190] generation [1074]: they seek [1934] a sign [4592]; and [2532] there shall [1325] no [3756] sign [4592] be given [1325] it [846], but [1508] the sign [4592] of Jonas [2495] the prophet [4396]. 42 11 30 For [1063] as [2531] Jonas [2495] was [1096] a sign [4592] unto the Ninevites [3536], so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071] to this [5026] generation [1074]. 42 11 31 The queen [938] of the south [3558] shall rise up [1453] in [1722] the judgment [2920] with [3326] the men [435] of this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] condemn [2632] them [846]: for [3754] she came [2064] from [1537] the utmost parts [4009] of the earth [1093] to hear [191] the wisdom [4678] of Solomon [4672]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Solomon [4672] is here [5602]. 42 11 32 The men [435] of Nineve [3535] shall rise up [450] in [1722] the judgment [2920] with [3326] this [5026] generation [1074], and [2532] shall condemn [2632] it [846]: for [3754] they repented [3340] at [1519] the preaching [2782] of Jonas [2495]; and [2532], behold [2400], a greater than [4119] Jonas [2495] is here [5602]. 42 11 33 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], putteth [5087] it in [1519] a secret place [2926], neither [3761] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which [3588] come in [1531] may see [991] the light [5338]. 42 11 34 The light [3088] of the body [4983] is [2076] the eye [3788]: therefore [3767] when [1875] thine [4675] eye [3788] is [5600] single [573], thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] also [2532] is [2076] full of light [5460]; but [1161] when [3752] thine eye is [5600] evil [4190], thy [4675] body [4983] also [2532] is full of darkness [4652]. 42 11 35 Take heed [4648] therefore [3767] that the light [5457] which [3588] is in [1722] thee [4671] be [2076] not [3361] darkness [4655]. 42 11 36 If [1487] thy [4675] whole [3650] body [4983] therefore [3767] be full of light [5460], having [2192] no [3361] [5100] part [3313] dark [4652], the whole [3650] shall be [2071] full of light [5460], as [5613] when [3752] the bright shining [796] of a candle [3088] doth give [5461] thee [4571] light [5461]. 42 11 37 And [1161] as [1722] he spake [2980], a certain [5100] Pharisee [5330] besought [2065] him [846] to [3704] dine [709] with [3844] him [846]: and [1161] he went in [1525], and sat down to meat [377]. 42 11 38 And [1161] when the Pharisee [5330] saw [1492] it, he marvelled [2296] that [3754] he had [907] not [3756] first [4412] washed [907] before [4253] dinner [712]. 42 11 39 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Now [3568] do [2511] ye [5210] Pharisees [5330] make clean [2511] the outside [1855] of the cup [4221] and [2532] the platter [4094]; but [1161] your [5216] inward part [2081] is full [1073] of ravening [724] and [2532] wickedness [4189]. 42 11 40 Ye fools [878], did [4160] not [3756] he that made [4160] that which [3588] is without [1855] make [4160] that which [3588] is within [2081] also [2532]? 42 11 41 But rather [4133] give [1325] alms [1654] of such things as ye have [1751]; and [2532], behold [2400], all things [3956] are [2076] clean [2513] unto you [5213]. 42 11 42 But [235] woe [3759] unto you [5213], Pharisees [5330]! for [3754] ye tithe [586] mint [2238] and [2532] rue [4076] and [2532] all manner [3956] of herbs [3001], and [2532] pass over [3928] judgment [2920] and [2532] the love [26] of God [2316]: these [5023] ought ye [1163] to have done [4160], and not [3361] to leave [863] the other [2548] undone [863]. 42 11 43 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], Pharisees [5330]! for [3754] ye love [25] the uppermost seats [4410] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], and [2532] greetings [783] in [1722] the markets [58]. 42 11 44 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], hypocrites [5273]! for [3754] ye are [2075] as [5613] graves [3419] which [3588] appear not [82], and [2532] the men [444] that walk [4043] over [1883] them are [1492] not [3756] aware [1492] of them. 42 11 45 Then [1161] answered [611] one [5100] of the lawyers [3544], and said [3004] unto him [846], Master [1320], thus [5023] saying [3004] thou reproachest [5195] us [2248] also [2532]. 42 11 46 And [1161] he said [2036], Woe [3759] unto you [5213] also [2532], ye lawyers [3544]! for [3754] ye lade [5412] men [444] with burdens [5413] grievous to be borne [1419], and [2532] ye yourselves [846] touch [4379] not [3756] the burdens [5413] with one [1520] of your [5216] fingers [1147]. 42 11 47 Woe [3759] unto you [5213]! for [3754] ye build [3618] the sepulchres [3419] of the prophets [4396], and [1161] your [5216] fathers [3962] killed [615] them [846]. 42 11 48 Truly [686] ye bear witness [3140] that [2532] ye allow [4909] the deeds [2041] of your [5216] fathers [3962]: for [3754] they [846] indeed [3303] killed [615] them [846], and [1161] ye [5210] build [3618] their [846] sepulchres [3419]. 42 11 49 Therefore [1223] [5124] also [2532] said [2036] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316], I will send [649] [1519] them [846] prophets [4396] and [2532] apostles [652], and [2532] some of [1537] them [846] they shall slay [615] and [2532] persecute [1559]: 42 11 50 That [2443] the blood [129] of all [3956] the prophets [4396], which [3588] was shed [1632] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], may be required [1567] of [575] this [5026] generation [1074]; 42 11 51 From [575] the blood [129] of Abel [6] unto [2193] the blood [129] of Zacharias [2197], which [3588] perished [622] between [3342] the altar [2379] and [2532] the temple [3624]: verily [3483] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be required [1567] of [575] this [5026] generation [1074]. 42 11 52 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], lawyers [3544]! for [3754] ye have taken away [142] the key [2807] of knowledge [1108]: ye entered [1525] not [3756] in [1525] yourselves [846], and [2532] them that were entering in [1525] ye hindered [2967]. 42 11 53 And [1161] as he [846] said [3004] these things [5023] unto [4314] them [846], the scribes [1122] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] began [756] to urge [1758] him vehemently [1171], and [2532] to provoke [653] him [846] to speak [653] of [4012] many things [4119]: 42 11 54 Laying wait for [1748] him [846], and [2532] seeking [2212] to catch [2340] something [5100] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750], that [2443] they might accuse [2723] him [846]. 42 12 1 In [1722] the mean time [3739], when there were gathered together [1996] an innumerable multitude [3461] of people [3793], insomuch that [5620] they trode [2662] one upon another [240], he began [756] to say [3004] unto [4314] his [846] disciples [3101] first of all [4412], Beware [4337] ye [1438] of [575] the leaven [2219] of the Pharisees [5330], which [3748] is [2076] hypocrisy [5272]. 42 12 2 For [1161] there is [2076] nothing [3762] covered [4780], that [3739] shall [601] not [3756] be revealed [601]; neither [2532] hid [2927], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097]. 42 12 3 Therefore [473] [3739] whatsoever [3745] ye have spoken [2036] in [1722] darkness [4653] shall be heard [191] in [1722] the light [5457]; and [2532] that which [3739] ye have spoken [2980] in [4314] the ear [3775] in [1722] closets [5009] shall be proclaimed [2784] upon [1909] the housetops [1430]. 42 12 4 And [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213] my [3450] friends [5384], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399] of them [575] that kill [615] the body [4983], and [2532] after [3326] that [5023] have [2192] no [3361] [5100] more [4055] that they can do [4160]. 42 12 5 But [1161] I will forewarn [5263] you [5213] whom [5101] ye shall fear [5399]: Fear [5399] him, which after [3326] he hath killed [615] hath [2192] power [1849] to cast [1685] into [1519] hell [1067]; yea [3483], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Fear [5399] him [5126]. 42 12 6 Are [4453] not [3780] five [4002] sparrows [4765] sold [4453] for two [1417] farthings [787], and [2532] not [3756] one [1520] of [1537] them [846] is [2076] forgotten [1950] before [1799] God [2316]? 42 12 7 But [235] even the very [2532] hairs [2359] of your [5216] head [2776] are [705] all [3956] numbered [705]. Fear [5399] not [3361] therefore [3767]: ye are of more value [1308] than many [4183] sparrows [4765]. 42 12 8 Also [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Whosoever [3956] [3739] [302] shall confess [3670] [1722] me [1698] before [1715] men [444], [1722] him [846] shall [3670] the Son [5207] of man [444] also [2532] confess [3670] before [1715] the angels [32] of God [2316]: 42 12 9 But [1161] he that denieth [720] me [3165] before [1799] men [444] shall be denied [533] before [1799] the angels [32] of God [2316]. 42 12 10 And [2532] whosoever [3956] [3739] shall speak [2046] a word [3056] against [1519] the Son [5207] of man [444], it shall be forgiven [863] him [846]: but [1161] unto him that blasphemeth [987] against [1519] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] it shall [863] not [3756] be forgiven [863]. 42 12 11 And [1161] when [3752] they bring [4374] you [5209] unto [1909] the synagogues [4864], and [2532] unto magistrates [746], and [2532] powers [1849], take [3309] ye no [3361] thought [3309] how [4459] or [2228] what thing [5101] ye shall answer [626], or [2228] what [5101] ye shall say [2036]: 42 12 12 For [1063] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] shall teach [1321] you [5209] in [1722] the same [846] hour [5610] what [3739] ye ought [1163] to say [2036]. 42 12 13 And [1161] one [5100] of [1537] the company [3793] said [2036] unto him [846], Master [1320], speak [2036] to my [3450] brother [80], that he divide [3307] the inheritance [2817] with [3326] me [1700]. 42 12 14 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Man [444], who [5101] made [2525] me [3165] a judge [1348] or [2228] a divider [3312] over [1909] you [5209]? 42 12 15 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Take heed [3708], and [2532] beware [5442] of [575] covetousness [4124]: for [3754] a man's [5100] [846] life [2222] consisteth [2076] not [3756] in [1722] the abundance [4052] of [1537] the things which he [846] possesseth [5224]. 42 12 16 And [1161] he spake [2036] a parable [3850] unto [4314] them [846], saying [3004], The ground [5561] of a certain [5100] rich [4145] man [444] brought forth plentifully [2164]: 42 12 17 And [2532] he thought [1260] within [1722] himself [1438], saying [3004], What [5101] shall I do [4160], because [3754] I have [2192] no [3756] room where [4226] to bestow [4863] my [3450] fruits [2590]? 42 12 18 And [2532] he said [2036], This [5124] will I do [4160]: I will pull down [2507] my [3450] barns [596], and [2532] build [3618] greater [3187]; and [2532] there [1563] will I bestow [4863] all [3956] my [3450] fruits [1081] and [2532] my [3450] goods [18]. 42 12 19 And [2532] I will say [2046] to my [3450] soul [5590], Soul [5590], thou hast [2192] much [4183] goods [18] laid up [2749] for [1519] many [4183] years [2094]; take thine ease [373], eat [5315], drink [4095], and be merry [2165]. 42 12 20 But [1161] God [2316] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou fool [878], this [5026] night [3571] thy [4675] soul [5590] shall be required [523] of [575] thee [4675]: then [1161] whose [5101] shall those things be [2071], which [3739] thou hast provided [2090]? 42 12 21 So [3779] is he that layeth up treasure [2343] for himself [1438], and [2532] is [4147] not [3361] rich [4147] toward [1519] God [2316]. 42 12 22 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], Therefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Take [3309] no [3361] thought [3309] for your [5216] life [5590], what [5101] ye shall eat [5315]; neither [3366] for the body [4983], what [5101] ye shall put on [1746]. 42 12 23 The life [5590] is [2076] more [4119] than meat [5160], and [2532] the body [4983] is more than raiment [1742]. 42 12 24 Consider [2657] the ravens [2876]: for [3754] they neither [3756] sow [4687] nor [3761] reap [2325]; which [3739] neither [3756] have [2076] storehouse [5009] nor [3761] barn [596]; and [2532] God [2316] feedeth [5142] them [846]: how much [4214] more [3123] are [1308] ye [5210] better than [1308] the fowls [4071]? 42 12 25 And [1161] which [5101] of [1537] you [5216] with taking thought [3309] can [1410] add [4369] to [1909] his [846] stature [2244] one [1520] cubit [4083]? 42 12 26 If [1487] ye then [3767] be [1410] not [3777] able to do [1410] that thing which is least [1646], why [5101] take ye thought [3309] for [4012] the rest [3062]? 42 12 27 Consider [2657] the lilies [2918] how [4459] they grow [837]: they toil [2872] not [3756], they spin [3514] not [3761]; and yet [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that Solomon [4672] in [1722] all [3956] his [846] glory [1391] was [4016] not [3761] arrayed [4016] like [5613] one [1520] of these [5130]. 42 12 28 If [1487] then [1161] God [2316] so [3779] clothe [294] the grass [5528], which [5607] is to day [4594] in [1722] the field [68], and [2532] to morrow [839] is cast [906] into [1519] the oven [2823]; how much [4214] more [3123] will he clothe you [5209], O ye of little faith [3640]? 42 12 29 And [2532] seek [2212] not [3361] ye [5210] what [5101] ye shall eat [5315], or [2228] what [5101] ye shall drink [4095], [2532] neither [3361] be ye of doubtful mind [3349]. 42 12 30 For [1063] all [3956] these things [5023] do [1934] the nations [1484] of the world [2889] seek after [1934]: and [1161] your [5216] Father [3962] knoweth [1492] that [3754] ye have need [5535] of these things [5130]. 42 12 31 But rather [4133] seek ye [2212] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]; and [2532] all [3956] these things [5023] shall be added [4369] unto you [5213]. 42 12 32 Fear [5399] not [3361], little [3398] flock [4168]; for [3754] it is [2106] your [5216] Father's [3962] good pleasure [2106] to give [1325] you [5213] the kingdom [932]. 42 12 33 Sell [4453] that ye [5216] have [5224], and [2532] give [1325] alms [1654]; provide [4160] yourselves [1438] bags [905] which wax [3822] not [3361] old [3822], a treasure [2344] in [1722] the heavens [3772] that faileth not [413], where [3699] no [3756] thief [2812] approacheth [1448], neither [3761] moth [4597] corrupteth [1311]. 42 12 34 For [1063] where [3699] your [5216] treasure [2344] is [2076], there [1563] will [2071] your [5216] heart [2588] be [2071] also [2532]. 42 12 35 Let [2077] your [5216] loins [3751] be [2077] girded about [4024], and [2532] your lights [3088] burning [2545]; 42 12 36 And [2532] ye yourselves [5210] like [3664] unto men [444] that wait [4327] for their [1438] lord [2962], when [4219] he will return [360] from [1537] the wedding [1062]; that [2443] when he cometh [2064] and [2532] knocketh [2925], they may open [455] unto him [846] immediately [2112]. 42 12 37 Blessed [3107] are those [1565] servants [1401], whom [3739] the lord [2962] when he cometh [2064] shall find [2147] watching [1127]: verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] he shall gird himself [4024], and [2532] make [347] them [846] to sit down to meat [347], and [2532] will come forth [3928] and serve [1247] them [846]. 42 12 38 And [2532] if [1437] he shall come [2064] in [1722] the second [1208] watch [5438], or [2532] come [2064] in [1722] the third [5154] watch [5438], and [2532] find [2147] them so [3779], blessed [3107] are [1526] those [1565] servants [1401]. 42 12 39 And [1161] this [5124] know [1097], that [3754] if [1487] the goodman of the house [3617] had known [1492] what [4169] hour [5610] the thief [2812] would come [2064], [302] he would have watched [1127], and [2532] [302] not [3756] have suffered [863] his [846] house [3624] to be broken through [1358]. 42 12 40 Be [1096] ye [5210] therefore [3767] ready [2092] also [2532]: for [3754] [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064] at an hour [5610] when ye think [1380] not [3756]. 42 12 41 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], speakest thou [3004] this [5026] parable [3850] unto [4314] us [2248], or [2228] even [2532] to [4314] all [3956]? 42 12 42 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], Who [5101] then [686] is [2076] that faithful [4103] and [2532] wise [5429] steward [3623], whom [3739] his lord [2962] shall make ruler [2525] over [1909] his [846] household [2322], to give [1325] them their portion of meat [4620] in [1722] due season [2540]? 42 12 43 Blessed [3107] is that [1565] servant [1401], whom [3739] his [846] lord [2962] when he cometh [2064] shall find [2147] so [3779] doing [4160]. 42 12 44 Of a truth [230] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] he will make him [846] ruler [2525] over [1909] all [3956] that he [846] hath [5224]. 42 12 45 But and [1161] if [1437] that [1565] servant [1401] say [2036] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588], My [3450] lord [2962] delayeth [5549] his coming [2064]; and [2532] shall begin [756] to beat [5180] the menservants [3816] and [2532] maidens [3814], and [5037] to eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095], and [2532] to be drunken [3182]; 42 12 46 The lord [2962] of that [1565] servant [1401] will come [2240] in [1722] a day [2250] when [3739] he looketh [4328] not [3756] for [4328] him, and [2532] at [1722] an hour [5610] when [3739] he is [1097] not [3756] aware [1097], and [2532] will cut [1371] him [846] in sunder [1371], and [2532] will appoint [5087] him his [846] portion [3313] with [3326] the unbelievers [571]. 42 12 47 And [1161] that [1565] servant [1401], which [3588] knew [1097] his [1438] lord's [2962] will [2307], and [2532] prepared [2090] not [3361] himself, neither [3366] did [4160] according [4314] to his [846] will [2307], shall be beaten [1194] with many [4183] stripes. 42 12 48 But [1161] he that knew [1097] not [3361], and [1161] did commit [4160] things worthy [514] of stripes [4127], shall be beaten [1194] with few [3641] stripes. For [1161] unto whomsoever [3739] [3956] much [4183] is given [1325], of [3844] him [846] shall be much [4183] required [2212]: and [2532] to whom men [3739] have committed [3908] much [4183], of him [846] they will ask [154] the more [4055]. 42 12 49 I am come [2064] to send [906] fire [4442] on [1519] the earth [1093]; and [2532] what [5101] will I [2309], if [1487] it be [381] already [2235] kindled [381]? 42 12 50 But [1161] I have [2192] a baptism [908] to be baptized with [907]; and [2532] how [4459] am I straitened [4912] till [2193] [3739] it be accomplished [5055] ! 42 12 51 Suppose ye [1380] that [3754] I am come [3854] to give [1325] peace [1515] on [1722] earth [1093]? I tell [3004] you [5213], Nay [3780]; but [235] rather [2228] division [1267]: 42 12 52 For [1063] from [575] henceforth [3568] there shall be [2071] five [4002] in [1722] one [1520] house [3624] divided [1266], three [5140] against [1909] two [1417], and [2532] two [1417] against [1909] three [5140]. 42 12 53 The father [3962] shall be divided [1266] against [1909] the son [5207], and [2532] the son [5207] against [1909] the father [3962]; the mother [3384] against [1909] the daughter [2364], and [2532] the daughter [2364] against [1909] the mother [3384]; the mother in law [3994] against [1909] her [846] daughter in law [3565], and [2532] the daughter in law [3565] against [1909] her [846] mother in law [3994]. 42 12 54 And [1161] he said [3004] also [2532] to the people [3793], When [3752] ye see [1492] a cloud [3507] rise [393] out of [575] the west [1424], straightway [2112] ye say [3004], There cometh [2064] a shower [3655]; and [2532] so [3779] it is [1096]. 42 12 55 And [2532] when [3752] ye see the south wind [3558] blow [4154], ye say [3004], [3754] There will be [2071] heat [2742]; and [2532] it cometh to pass [1096]. 42 12 56 Ye hypocrites [5273], ye can [1492] discern [1381] the face [4383] of the sky [3772] and [2532] of the earth [1093]; but [1161] how is it [4459] that ye do not [3756] discern [1381] this [5126] time [2540]? 42 12 57 Yea [1161], and why [5101] even [2532] of [575] yourselves [1438] judge ye [2919] not [3756] what is right [1342]? 42 12 58 When [5613] [1063] thou goest [5217] with [3326] thine [4675] adversary [476] to [1909] the magistrate [758], as thou art in [1722] the way [3598], give [1325] diligence [2039] that thou mayest be delivered [525] from [575] him [846]; lest [3379] he hale [2694] thee [4571] to [4314] the judge [2923], and [2532] the judge [2923] deliver [3860] thee [4571] to the officer [4233], and [2532] the officer [4233] cast [906] thee [4571] into [1519] prison [5438]. 42 12 59 I tell [3004] thee [4671], thou shalt [1831] not [3364] depart [1831] thence [1564], [2532] till [2193] [3739] thou hast paid [591] the very last [2078] mite [3016]. 42 13 1 [1161] There were present [3918] at [1722] that season [846] [2540] some [5100] that told [518] him [846] of [4012] the Galilaeans [1057], whose [3739] blood [129] Pilate [4091] had mingled [3396] with [3326] their [846] sacrifices [2378]. 42 13 2 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], Suppose ye [1380] that [3754] these [3778] Galilaeans [1057] were [1096] sinners [268] above [3844] all [3956] the Galilaeans [1057], because [3754] they suffered [3958] such things [5108]? 42 13 3 I tell [3004] you [5213], Nay [3780]: but [235], except [3362] ye repent [3340], ye shall [622] all [3956] likewise [5615] perish [622]. 42 13 4 Or [2228] those [1565] eighteen [1176] [2532] [3638], upon [1909] whom [3739] the tower [4444] in [1722] Siloam [4611] fell [4098], and [2532] slew [615] them [846], think ye [1380] that [3754] they [3778] were [1096] sinners [3781] above [3844] all [3956] men [444] that dwelt [2730] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419]? 42 13 5 I tell [3004] you [5213], Nay [3780]: but [235], except [3362] ye repent [3340], ye shall [622] all [3956] likewise [3668] perish [622]. 42 13 6 He spake [3004] also [1161] this [5026] parable [3850]; A certain [5100] man had [2192] a fig tree [4808] planted [5452] in [1722] his [846] vineyard [290]; and [2532] he came [2064] and sought [2212] fruit [2590] thereon [1722] [846], and [2532] found [2147] none [3756]. 42 13 7 Then [1161] said he [2036] unto [4314] the dresser of his vineyard [289], Behold [2400], these three [5140] years [2094] I come [2064] seeking [2212] fruit [2590] on [1722] this [5026] fig tree [4808], and [2532] find [2147] none [3756]: cut [1581] it [846] down [1581]; why [2444] [2532] cumbereth [2673] it [846] the ground [1093]? 42 13 8 And [1161] he answering [611] said [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], let [863] it [846] alone [863] this [5124] year [2094] also [2532], till [2193] [3755] I shall dig [4626] about [4012] it [846], and [2532] dung [906] [2874] it: 42 13 9 And if [2579] [3303] it bear [4160] fruit [2590], well: and if not [1490], then after that [1519] [3195] thou shalt cut [1581] it [846] down [1581]. 42 13 10 And [1161] he was [2258] teaching [1321] in [1722] one [3391] of the synagogues [4864] on [1722] the sabbath [4521]. 42 13 11 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [2258] a woman [1135] which had [2192] a spirit [4151] of infirmity [769] eighteen [1176] [2532] [3638] years [2094], and [2532] was [2258] bowed together [4794], and [2532] could [1410] in [1519] no [3361] wise [3838] lift up [352] herself. 42 13 12 And [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] her [846], he called [4377] her to him, and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], Woman [1135], thou art loosed [630] from thine [4675] infirmity [769]. 42 13 13 And [2532] he laid [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] her [846]: and [2532] immediately [3916] she was made straight [461], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316]. 42 13 14 And [1161] the ruler of the synagogue [752] answered [611] with indignation [23], because [3754] that Jesus [2424] had healed [2323] on the sabbath [4521] day, and said [3004] unto the people [3793], There are [1526] six [1803] days [2250] in [1722] which [3739] men ought [1163] to work [2038]: in [1722] them [5025] therefore [3767] come [2064] and be healed [2323], and [2532] not [3361] on the sabbath [4521] day [2250]. 42 13 15 The Lord [2962] then [3767] answered [611] him [846], and [2532] said [2036], Thou hypocrite [5273], doth [3089] not [3756] each one [1538] of you [5216] on the sabbath [4521] loose [3089] his [846] ox [1016] or [2228] his ass [3688] from [575] the stall [5336], and [2532] lead him away [520] to watering [4222]? 42 13 16 And [1161] ought [1163] not [3756] this woman [5026], being [5607] a daughter [2364] of Abraham [11], whom [3739] Satan [4567] hath bound [1210], lo [2400], these eighteen [1176] [2532] [3638] years [2094], be loosed [3089] from [575] this [5127] bond [1199] on the sabbath [4521] day [2250]? 42 13 17 And [2532] when he [846] had said [3004] these things [5023], all [3956] his [846] adversaries [480] were ashamed [2617]: and [2532] all [3956] the people [3793] rejoiced [5463] for [1909] all [3956] the glorious things [1741] that were done [1096] by [5259] him [846]. 42 13 18 Then [1161] said he [3004], Unto what [5101] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] like [3664]? and [2532] whereunto [5101] shall I resemble [3666] it [846]? 42 13 19 It is [2076] like [3664] a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], which [3739] a man [444] took [2983], and cast [906] into [1519] his [1438] garden [2779]; and [2532] it grew [837], and [2532] waxed [1096] [1519] a great [3173] tree [1186]; and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] lodged [2681] in [1722] the branches [2798] of it [846]. 42 13 20 And [2532] again [3825] he said [2036], Whereunto [5101] shall I liken [3666] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]? 42 13 21 It is [2076] like [3664] leaven [2219], which [3739] a woman [1135] took [2983] and hid [1470] in [1519] three [5140] measures [4568] of meal [224], till [2193] [3739] the whole [3650] was leavened [2220]. 42 13 22 And [2532] he went [1279] through [2596] the cities [4172] and [2532] villages [2968], teaching [1321], and [2532] journeying [4160] [4197] toward [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 13 23 Then [1161] said [2036] one [5100] unto [4314] him [846], Lord [2962], are there few [1487] [3641] that be saved [4982]? And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], 42 13 24 Strive [75] to enter in [1525] at [1223] the strait [4728] gate [4439]: for [3754] many [4183], I say [3004] unto you [5213], will seek [2212] to enter in [1525], and [2532] shall [2480] not [3756] be able [2480]. 42 13 25 When once [575] [3739] [302] the master of the house [3617] is risen up [1453], and [2532] hath shut [608] to the door [2374], and [2532] ye begin [756] to stand [2476] without [1854], and [2532] to knock [2925] at the door [2374], saying [3004], Lord [2962], Lord [2962], open [455] unto us [2254]; and [2532] he shall answer [611] and say [2046] unto you [5213], I know [1492] you [5209] not [3756] whence [4159] ye are [2075]: 42 13 26 Then [5119] shall ye begin [756] to say [3004], We have eaten [5315] and [2532] drunk [4095] in thy [4675] presence [1799], and [2532] thou hast taught [1321] in [1722] our [2257] streets [4113]. 42 13 27 But [2532] he shall say [2046], I tell [3004] you [5213], I know [1492] you [5209] not [3756] whence [4159] ye are [2075]; depart [868] from [575] me [1700], all [3956] ye workers [2040] of iniquity [93]. 42 13 28 There [1563] shall be [2071] weeping [2805] and [2532] gnashing [1030] of teeth [3599], when [3752] ye shall see [3700] Abraham [11], and [2532] Isaac [2464], and [2532] Jacob [2384], and [2532] all [3956] the prophets [4396], in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [1161] you [5209] yourselves thrust [1544] out [1854]. 42 13 29 And [2532] they shall come [2240] from [575] the east [395], and [2532] from the west [1424], and [2532] from [575] the north [1005], and [2532] from the south [3558], and [2532] shall sit down [347] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 13 30 And [2532], behold [2400], there are [1526] last [2078] which [3739] shall be [2071] first [4413], and [2532] there are [1526] first [4413] which [3739] shall be [2071] last [2078]. 42 13 31 The same [1722] [846] day [2250] there came [4334] certain [5100] of the Pharisees [5330], saying [3004] unto him [846], Get thee out [1831], and [2532] depart [4198] hence [1782]: for [3754] Herod [2264] will [2309] kill [615] thee [4571]. 42 13 32 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go ye [4198], and tell [2036] that [5026] fox [258], Behold [2400], I cast out [1544] devils [1140], and [2532] I do [2005] cures [2392] to day [4594] and [2532] to morrow [839], and [2532] the third [5154] day I shall be perfected [5048]. 42 13 33 Nevertheless [4133] I [3165] must [1163] walk [4198] to day [4594], and [2532] to morrow [839], and [2532] the day following [2192]: for [3754] it cannot be [3756] [1735] that a prophet [4396] perish [622] out of [1854] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 13 34 O Jerusalem [2419], Jerusalem [2419], which [3588] killest [615] the prophets [4396], and [2532] stonest [3036] them that are sent [649] unto [4314] thee [846]; how often [4212] would [2309] I have gathered [1996] thy [4675] children [5043] together [1996], as [3739] [5158] a hen [3733] doth gather her [1438] brood [3555] under [5259] her wings [4420], and [2532] ye would [2309] not [3756]! 42 13 35 Behold [2400], your [5216] house [3624] is left [863] unto you [5213] desolate [2048]: and [1161] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Ye shall [1492] not [3364] see [1492] me [3165], until [2193] [302] the time come [2240] when [3753] ye shall say [2036], Blessed [2127] is he that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. 42 14 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he [846] went [2064] into [1519] the house [3624] of one [5100] of the chief [758] Pharisees [5330] to eat [5315] bread [740] on the sabbath [4521] day, that [2532] they [846] watched [2258] [3906] him [846]. 42 14 2 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [2258] a certain [5100] man [444] before [1715] him [846] which had the dropsy [5203]. 42 14 3 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] spake [2036] unto [4314] the lawyers [3544] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], saying [3004], Is it [1487] lawful [1832] to heal [2323] on the sabbath day [4521]? 42 14 4 And [1161] they held their peace [2270]. And [2532] he took [1949] him, and healed [2390] him [846], and [2532] let him go [630]; 42 14 5 And [2532] answered [611] them [4314] [846], saying [2036], Which [5101] of you [5216] shall have an ass [3688] or [2228] an ox [1016] fallen [1706] into [1519] a pit [5421], and [2532] will [385] not [3756] straightway [2112] pull [385] him [846] out [385] on [1722] the sabbath [4521] day [2250]? 42 14 6 And [2532] they could [2480] not [3756] answer [470] him [846] again [470] to [4314] these things [5023]. 42 14 7 And [1161] he put forth [3004] a parable [3850] to [4314] those which were bidden [2564], when he marked [1907] how [4459] they chose out [1586] the chief rooms [4411]; saying [3004] unto [4314] them [846], 42 14 8 When [3752] thou art bidden [2564] of [5259] any [5100] man to [1519] a wedding [1062], sit [2625] not [3361] down [2625] in [1519] the highest room [4411]; lest [3379] a more honourable man [1784] than thou [4675] be [5600] bidden [2564] of [5259] him [846]; 42 14 9 And [2532] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] and [2532] him [846] come [2064] and say [2046] to thee [4671], Give [1325] this man [5129] place [5117]; and [2532] [5119] thou begin [756] with [3326] shame [152] to take [2722] the lowest [2078] room [5117]. 42 14 10 But [235] when [3752] thou art bidden [2564], go [4198] and sit down [377] in [1519] the lowest [2078] room [5117]; that [2443] when [3752] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] cometh [2064], he may say [2036] unto thee [4671], Friend [5384], go up [4320] higher [511]: then [5119] shalt thou [4671] have [2071] worship [1391] in the presence [1799] of them that sit at meat [4873] with thee [4671]. 42 14 11 For [3754] whosoever [3956] exalteth [5312] himself [1438] shall be abased [5013]; and [2532] he that humbleth [5013] himself [1438] shall be exalted [5312]. 42 14 12 Then [1161] said he [3004] also [2532] to him that bade [2564] him [846], When [3752] thou makest [4160] a dinner [712] or [2228] a supper [1173], call [5455] not [3361] thy [4675] friends [5384], nor [3366] thy [4675] brethren [80], neither [3366] thy [4675] kinsmen [4773], nor [3366] thy rich [4145] neighbours [1069]; lest [3379] they [846] also [2532] bid [479] thee [4571] again [479], and [2532] a recompence [468] be made [1096] thee [4671]. 42 14 13 But [235] when [3752] thou makest [4160] a feast [1403], call [2564] the poor [4434], the maimed [376], the lame [5560], the blind [5185]: 42 14 14 And [2532] thou shalt be [2071] blessed [3107]; for [3754] they cannot [3756] [2192] recompense [467] thee [4671]: for [1063] thou [4671] shalt be recompensed [467] at [1722] the resurrection [386] of the just [1342]. 42 14 15 And [1161] when one [5100] of them that sat at meat with him [4873] heard [191] these things [5023], he said [2036] unto him [846], Blessed [3107] is he [3739] that shall eat [5315] bread [740] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 14 16 Then [1161] said he [2036] unto him [846], A certain [5100] man [444] made [4160] a great [3173] supper [1173], and [2532] bade [2564] many [4183]: 42 14 17 And [2532] sent [649] his [846] servant [1401] at supper [1173] time [5610] to say [2036] to them that were bidden [2564], Come [2064]; for [3754] all things [3956] are [2076] now [2235] ready [2092]. 42 14 18 And [2532] they all [3956] with [575] one [3391] consent began [756] to make excuse [3868]. The first [4413] said [2036] unto him [846], I have bought [59] a piece of ground [68], and [2532] I must [2192] needs [318] go [1831] and [2532] see [1492] it [846]: I pray [2065] thee [4571] have [2192] me [3165] excused [3868]. 42 14 19 And [2532] another [2087] said [2036], I have bought [59] five [4002] yoke [2201] of oxen [1016], and [2532] I go [4198] to prove [1381] them [846]: I pray [2065] thee [4571] have [2192] me [3165] excused [3868]. 42 14 20 And [2532] another [2087] said [2036], I have married [1060] a wife [1135], and [2532] therefore [1223] [5124] I cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]. 42 14 21 So [2532] that [1565] servant [1401] came [3854], and shewed [518] his [846] lord [2962] these things [5023]. Then [5119] the master of the house [3617] being angry [3710] said [2036] to his [846] servant [1401], Go out [1831] quickly [5030] into [1519] the streets [4113] and [2532] lanes [4505] of the city [4172], and [2532] bring in [1521] hither [5602] the poor [4434], and [2532] the maimed [376], and [2532] the halt [5560], and [2532] the blind [5185]. 42 14 22 And [2532] the servant [1401] said [2036], Lord [2962], it is done [1096] as [5613] thou hast commanded [2004], and [2532] yet [2089] there is [2076] room [5117]. 42 14 23 And [2532] the lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] the servant [1401], Go out [1831] into [1519] the highways [3598] and [2532] hedges [5418], and [2532] compel [315] them to come in [1525], that [2443] my [3450] house [3624] may be filled [1072]. 42 14 24 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] none [3762] of those [1565] men [435] which [3588] were bidden [2564] shall taste [1089] of my [3450] supper [1173]. 42 14 25 And [1161] there went [4848] great [4183] multitudes [3793] with him [846]: and [2532] he turned [4762], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], 42 14 26 If any [1536] man come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], and [2532] hate [3404] not [3756] his [1438] father [3962], and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] wife [1135], and [2532] children [5043], and [2532] brethren [80], and [2532] sisters [79], yea [2089], and [1161] his own [1438] life [5590] also [2532], he cannot [3756] [1410] be [1511] my [3450] disciple [3101]. 42 14 27 And [2532] whosoever [3748] doth [941] not [3756] bear [941] his [846] cross [4716], and [2532] come [2064] after [3694] me [3450], cannot [3756] [1410] be [1511] my [3450] disciple [3101]. 42 14 28 For [1063] which [5101] of [1537] you [5216], intending [2309] to build [3618] a tower [4444], sitteth [2523] not [3780] down [2523] first [4412], and counteth [5585] the cost [1160], whether [1487] he have [2192] sufficient to [4314] finish [535] it? 42 14 29 Lest [3363] haply [3379], after he [846] hath laid [5087] the foundation [2310], and [2532] is [2480] not [3361] able [2480] to finish [1615] it, all [3956] that behold [2334] it begin [756] to mock [1702] him [846], 42 14 30 Saying [3004], This [3754] [3778] man [444] began [756] to build [3618], and [2532] was [2480] not [3756] able [2480] to finish [1615]. 42 14 31 Or [2228] what [5101] king [935], going [4198] to make [4820] war [4171] against [1519] another [2087] king [935], sitteth [2523] not [3780] down [2523] first [4412], and consulteth [1011] whether [1487] he be [2076] able [1415] with [1722] ten [1176] thousand [5505] to meet [528] him that cometh [2064] against [1909] him [846] with [3326] twenty [1501] thousand [5505]? 42 14 32 Or else [1490], while the other [846] is [5607] yet [2089] a great way off [4206], he sendeth [649] an ambassage [4242], and desireth [2065] conditions [4314] of peace [1515]. 42 14 33 So [3779] likewise [3767], whosoever [3956] he be of [1537] you [5216] that [3739] forsaketh [657] not [3756] all [3956] that he hath [5224] [1438], he cannot [3756] [1410] be [1511] my [3450] disciple [3101]. 42 14 34 Salt [217] is good [2570]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost his savour [3471], wherewith [1722] [5101] shall it be seasoned [741]? 42 14 35 It is [2076] neither [3777] fit [2111] for [1519] the land [1093], nor yet [3777] for [1519] the dunghill [2874]; but men cast [906] it [846] out [1854]. He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191]. 42 15 1 Then [1161] drew near [2258] [1448] unto him [846] all [3956] the publicans [5057] and [2532] sinners [268] for to hear [191] him [846]. 42 15 2 And [2532] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] scribes [1122] murmured [1234], saying [3004], This man [3754] [3778] receiveth [4327] sinners [268], and [2532] eateth [4906] with them [846]. 42 15 3 And [1161] he spake [2036] this [5026] parable [3850] unto [4314] them [846], saying [3004], 42 15 4 What [5101] man [444] of [1537] you [5216], having [2192] an hundred [1540] sheep [4263], if [2532] he lose [622] one [1520] of [1537] them [846], doth [2641] not [3756] leave [2641] the ninety and nine [1768] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] go [4198] after [1909] that which is lost [622], until [2193] he find [2147] it [846]? 42 15 5 And [2532] when he hath found [2147] it, he layeth [2007] it on [1909] his [1438] shoulders [5606], rejoicing [5463]. 42 15 6 And [2532] when he cometh [2064] [1519] home [3624], he calleth together [4779] his friends [5384] and [2532] neighbours [1069], saying [3004] unto them [846], Rejoice [4796] with me [3427]; for [3754] I have found [2147] my [3450] sheep [4263] which [3588] was lost [622]. 42 15 7 I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] likewise [3779] joy [5479] shall be [2071] in [1722] heaven [3772] over [1909] one [1520] sinner [268] that repenteth [3340], more than [2228] over [1909] ninety and nine [1768] just persons [1342], which [3748] need [2192] [5532] no [3756] repentance [3341]. 42 15 8 Either [2228] what [5101] woman [1135] having [2192] ten [1176] pieces of silver [1406], if [1437] she lose [622] one [3391] piece [1406], doth not [3780] light [681] a candle [3088], and [2532] sweep [4563] the house [3614], and [2532] seek [2212] diligently [1960] till [2193] [3755] she find [2147] it? 42 15 9 And [2532] when she hath found [2147] it, she calleth [4779] her friends [5384] and [2532] her neighbours [1069] together [4779], saying [3004], Rejoice [4796] with me [3427]; for [3754] I have found [2147] the piece [1406] which [3739] I had lost [622]. 42 15 10 Likewise [3779], I say [3004] unto you [5213], there is [1096] joy [5479] in the presence [1799] of the angels [32] of God [2316] over [1909] one [1520] sinner [268] that repenteth [3340]. 42 15 11 And [1161] he said [2036], A certain [5100] man [444] had [2192] two [1417] sons [5207]: 42 15 12 And [2532] the younger [3501] of them [846] said [2036] to his father [3962], Father [3962], give [1325] me [3427] the portion [3313] of goods [3776] that falleth [1911] to me. And [2532] he divided [1244] unto them [846] his living [979]. 42 15 13 And [2532] not [3756] many [4183] days [2250] after [3326] the younger [3501] son [5207] gathered [4863] all [537] together [4863], and took his journey [589] into [1519] a far [3117] country [5561], and [2532] there [1563] wasted [1287] his [846] substance [3776] with riotous [811] living [2198]. 42 15 14 And [1161] when he [846] had spent [1159] all [3956], there arose [1096] a mighty [2478] famine [3042] in [2596] that [1565] land [5561]; and [2532] he [846] began [756] to be in want [5302]. 42 15 15 And [2532] he went [4198] and joined himself [2853] to [1520] a citizen [4177] of that [1565] country [5561]; and [2532] he sent [3992] him [846] into [1519] his [846] fields [68] to feed [1006] swine [5519]. 42 15 16 And [2532] he would fain [1937] have filled [1072] his [846] belly [2836] with [575] the husks [2769] that [3739] the swine [5519] did eat [2068]: and [2532] no man [3762] gave [1325] unto him [846]. 42 15 17 And [1161] when he came [2064] to [1519] himself [1438], he said [2036], How many [4214] hired servants [3407] of my [3450] father's [3962] have bread [740] enough and to spare [4052], and [1161] I [1473] perish [622] with hunger [3042]! 42 15 18 I will arise [450] and go [4198] to [4314] my [3450] father [3962], and [2532] will say [2046] unto him [846], Father [3962], I have sinned [264] against [1519] heaven [3772], and [2532] before [1799] thee [4675], 42 15 19 And [2532] am [1510] no more [3765] worthy [514] to be called [2564] thy [4675] son [5207]: make [4160] me [3165] as [5613] one [1520] of thy [4675] hired servants [3407]. 42 15 20 And [2532] he arose [450], and came [2064] to [4314] his [1438] father [3962]. But [1161] when he [846] was yet [2089] a great way [3112] off [568], his [846] father [3962] saw [1492] him [846], and [2532] had compassion [4697], and [2532] ran [5143], and fell [1968] on [1909] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] kissed [2705] him [846]. 42 15 21 And [1161] the son [5207] said [2036] unto him [846], Father [3962], I have sinned [264] against [1519] heaven [3772], and [2532] in [1799] thy [4675] sight [1799], and [2532] am [1510] no more [3765] worthy [514] to be called [2564] thy [4675] son [5207]. 42 15 22 But [1161] the father [3962] said [2036] to [4314] his [846] servants [1401], Bring forth [1627] the best [4413] robe [4749], and [2532] put it on [1746] him [846]; and [2532] put [1325] a ring [1146] on [1519] his [846] hand [5495], and [2532] shoes [5266] on [1519] his feet [4228]: 42 15 23 And [2532] bring hither [5342] the fatted [4618] calf [3448], and kill [2380] it; and [2532] let us eat [5315], and be merry [2165]: 42 15 24 For [3754] this [3778] my [3450] son [5207] was [2258] dead [3498], and [2532] is alive again [326]; [2532] he was [2258] lost [622], and [2532] is found [2147]. And [2532] they began [756] to be merry [2165]. 42 15 25 Now [1161] his [846] elder [4245] son [5207] was [2258] in [1722] the field [68]: and [2532] as [5613] he came [2064] and drew nigh [1448] to the house [3614], he heard [191] musick [4858] and [2532] dancing [5525]. 42 15 26 And [2532] he called [4341] one [1520] of the servants [3816], and asked [4441] what [5101] these things [5023] meant [1498]. 42 15 27 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], [3754] Thy [4675] brother [80] is come [2240]; and [2532] thy [4675] father [3962] hath killed [2380] the fatted [4618] calf [3448], because [3754] he hath received [618] him [846] safe and sound [5198]. 42 15 28 And [1161] he was angry [3710], and [2532] would [2309] not [3756] go in [1525]: therefore [3767] came [1831] his [846] father [3962] out [1831], and intreated [3870] him [846]. 42 15 29 And [1161] he answering [611] said [2036] to his father [3962], Lo [2400], these many [5118] years [2094] do I serve [1398] thee [4671], neither [3763] transgressed I [3928] at any time [3763] thy [4675] commandment [1785]: and [2532] yet [2532] thou [1325] never [3763] gavest [1325] me [1698] a kid [2056], that [2443] I might make merry [2165] with [3326] my [3450] friends [5384]: 42 15 30 But [1161] as soon as [3753] this [3778] thy [4675] son [5207] was come [2064], which [3588] hath devoured [2719] thy [4675] living [979] with [3326] harlots [4204], thou hast killed [2380] for him [846] the fatted [4618] calf [3448]. 42 15 31 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Son [5043], thou [4771] art [1488] ever [3842] with [3326] me [1700], and [2532] all [3956] that I have [1699] is [2076] thine [4674]. 42 15 32 It was [1161] meet [1163] that we should make merry [2165], and [2532] be glad [5463]: for [3754] this [3778] thy [4675] brother [80] was [2258] dead [3498], and [2532] is alive again [326]; and [2532] was [2258] lost [622], and [2532] is found [2147]. 42 16 1 And [1161] he said [3004] also [2532] unto [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], There was [2258] a certain [5100] rich [4145] man [444], which [3739] had [2192] a steward [3623]; and [2532] the same [3778] was accused [1225] unto him [846] that [5613] he had wasted [1287] his [846] goods [5224]. 42 16 2 And [2532] he called [5455] him [846], and said [2036] unto him [846], How [5101] is it that I hear [191] this [5124] of [4012] thee [4675]? give [591] an account [3056] of thy [4675] stewardship [3622]; for [1063] thou mayest be [1410] no [3756] longer [2089] steward [3621]. 42 16 3 Then [1161] the steward [3623] said [2036] within [1722] himself [1438], What [5101] shall I do [4160]? for [3754] my [3450] lord [2962] taketh away [851] from [575] me [1700] the stewardship [3622]: I cannot [3756] [2480] dig [4626]; to beg [1871] I am ashamed [153]. 42 16 4 I am resolved [1097] what [5101] to do [4160], that [2443], when [3752] I am put out [3179] of the stewardship [3622], they may receive [1209] me [3165] into [1519] their [846] houses [3624]. 42 16 5 So [2532] he called [4341] every [1538] one [1520] of his [1438] lord's [2962] debtors [5533] unto him, and said [3004] unto the first [4413], How much [4214] owest thou [3784] unto my [3450] lord [2962]? 42 16 6 And [1161] he said [2036], An hundred [1540] measures [943] of oil [1637]. And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Take [1209] thy [4675] bill [1121], and [2532] sit down [2523] quickly [5030], and write [1125] fifty [4004]. 42 16 7 Then [1899] said he [2036] to another [2087], And [1161] how much [4214] owest [3784] thou [4771]? And [1161] he said [2036], An hundred [1540] measures [2884] of wheat [4621]. And [2532] he said [3004] unto him [846], Take [1209] thy [4675] bill [1121], and [2532] write [1125] fourscore [3589]. 42 16 8 And [2532] the lord [2962] commended [1867] the unjust [93] steward [3623], because [3754] he had done [4160] wisely [5430]: for [3754] the children [5207] of this [5127] world [165] are [1526] in [1519] their [1438] generation [1074] wiser [5429] than [5228] the children [5207] of light [5457]. 42 16 9 And I [2504] say [3004] unto you [5213], Make [4160] to yourselves [1438] friends [5384] of [1537] the mammon [3126] of unrighteousness [93]; that [2443], when [3752] ye fail [1587], they may receive [1209] you [5209] into [1519] everlasting [166] habitations [4633]. 42 16 10 He that is faithful [4103] in [1722] that which is least [1646] is [2076] faithful [4103] also [2532] in [1722] much [4183]: and [2532] he that is unjust [94] in [1722] the least [1646] is [2076] unjust [94] also [2532] in [1722] much [4183]. 42 16 11 If [1487] therefore [3767] ye have [1096] not [3756] been [1096] faithful [4103] in [1722] the unrighteous [94] mammon [3126], who [5101] will commit [4100] to your [5213] trust [4100] the true [228] riches? 42 16 12 And [2532] if [1487] ye have [1096] not [3756] been [1096] faithful [4103] in [1722] that which is another man's [245], who [5101] shall give [1325] you [5213] that which is your own [5212]? 42 16 13 No [3762] servant [3610] can [1410] serve [1398] two [1417] masters [2962]: for [1063] either [2228] he will hate [3404] the one [1520], and [2532] love [25] the other [2087]; or else [2228] he will hold [472] to the one [1520], and [2532] despise [2706] the other [2087]. Ye cannot [3756] [1410] serve [1398] God [2316] and [2532] mammon [3126]. 42 16 14 And [1161] the Pharisees [5330] also [2532], who were [5225] covetous [5366], heard [191] all [3956] these things [5023]: and [2532] they derided [1592] him [846]. 42 16 15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] are [2075] they which justify [1344] yourselves [1438] before [1799] men [444]; but [1161] God [2316] knoweth [1097] your [5216] hearts [2588]: for [3754] that which is highly esteemed [5308] among [1722] men [444] is [2076] abomination [946] in the sight [1799] of God [2316]. 42 16 16 The law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396] were until [2193] John [2491]: since [575] that time [5119] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is preached [2097], and [2532] every man [3956] presseth [971] into [1519] it [846]. 42 16 17 And [1161] it is [2076] easier [2123] for heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] to pass [3928], than [2228] one [3391] tittle [2762] of the law [3551] to fail [4098]. 42 16 18 Whosoever [3956] putteth away [630] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] marrieth [1060] another [2087], committeth adultery [3431]: and [2532] whosoever [3956] marrieth [1060] her that is put away [630] from [575] her husband [435] committeth adultery [3431]. 42 16 19 [1161] There was [2258] a certain [5100] rich [4145] man [444], which [2532] was clothed [1737] in purple [4209] and [2532] fine linen [1040], and fared [2165] sumptuously [2988] every [2596] day [2250]: 42 16 20 And [1161] there was [2258] a certain [5100] beggar [4434] named [3686] Lazarus [2976], which [3739] was laid [906] at [4314] his [846] gate [4440], full of sores [1669], 42 16 21 And [2532] desiring [1937] to be fed [5526] with [575] the crumbs [5589] which [3588] fell [4098] from [575] the rich man's [4145] table [5132]: moreover [235] [2532] the dogs [2965] came [2064] and licked [621] his [846] sores [1668]. 42 16 22 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that the beggar [4434] died [599], and [2532] was carried [667] by [5259] the angels [32] into [1519] Abraham's [11] bosom [2859]: the rich man [4145] also [1161] [2532] died [599], and [2532] was buried [2290]; 42 16 23 And [2532] in [1722] hell [86] he lift up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788], being [5225] in [1722] torments [931], and seeth [3708] Abraham [11] afar [3113] off [575], and [2532] Lazarus [2976] in [1722] his [846] bosom [2859]. 42 16 24 And [2532] [846] he cried [5455] and said [2036], Father [3962] Abraham [11], have mercy [1653] on me [3165], and [2532] send [3992] Lazarus [2976], that [2443] he may dip [911] the tip [206] of his [846] finger [1147] in water [5204], and [2532] cool [2711] my [3450] tongue [1100]; for [3754] I am tormented [3600] in [1722] this [5026] flame [5395]. 42 16 25 But [1161] Abraham [11] said [2036], Son [5043], remember [3415] that [3754] thou [4771] in [1722] thy [4675] lifetime [2222] receivedst [618] thy [4675] good things [18], and [2532] likewise [3668] Lazarus [2976] evil things [2556]: but [1161] now [3568] [3592] he is comforted [3870], and [1161] thou [4771] art tormented [3600]. 42 16 26 And [2532] beside [1909] all [3956] this [5125], between [3342] us [2257] and [2532] you [5216] there is [4741] a great [3173] gulf [5490] fixed [4741]: so that [3704] they which would [2309] pass [1224] from hence [1782] to [4314] you [5209] cannot [3361] [1410]; neither [3366] can they pass [1276] to [4314] us [2248], that would come from thence [1564]. 42 16 27 Then [1161] he said [2036], I pray [2065] thee [4571] therefore [3767], father [3962], that [2443] thou wouldest send [3992] him [846] to [1519] my [3450] father's [3962] house [3624]: 42 16 28 For [1063] I have [2192] five [4002] brethren [80]; that [3704] he may testify [1263] unto them [846], lest [3363] they [846] also [2532] come [2064] into [1519] this [5126] place [5117] of torment [931]. 42 16 29 Abraham [11] saith [3004] unto him [846], They have [2192] Moses [3475] and [2532] the prophets [4396]; let them hear [191] them [846]. 42 16 30 And [1161] he said [2036], Nay [3780], father [3962] Abraham [11]: but [235] if [1437] one [5100] went [4198] unto [4314] them [846] from [575] the dead [3498], they will repent [3340]. 42 16 31 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], If [1487] they hear [191] not [3756] Moses [3475] and [2532] the prophets [4396], neither [3761] will they be persuaded [3982], though [1437] one [5100] rose [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 42 17 1 Then [1161] said he [2036] unto [4314] the disciples [3101], It is [2076] impossible [418] but [3361] that offences [4625] will come [2064]: but [1161] woe [3759] unto him, through [1223] whom [3739] they come [2064] ! 42 17 2 It were better [3081] for him [846] that [1487] a millstone [3458] [3684] were hanged [4029] about [4012] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] he cast [4496] into [1519] the sea [2281], than [2228] that [2443] he should offend [4624] one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398]. 42 17 3 Take heed [4337] to yourselves [1438]: If [1161] [1437] thy [4675] brother [80] trespass [264] against [1519] thee [4571], rebuke [2008] him [846]; and [2532] if [1437] he repent [3340], forgive [863] him [846]. 42 17 4 And [2532] if [1437] he trespass [264] against [1519] thee [4571] seven times [2034] in a day [2250], and [2532] seven times [2034] in a day [2250] turn again [1994] to [1909] thee [4571], saying [3004], I repent [3340]; thou shalt forgive [863] him [846]. 42 17 5 And [2532] the apostles [652] said [2036] unto the Lord [2962], Increase [4369] our [2254] faith [4102]. 42 17 6 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], If [1487] ye had [2192] faith [4102] as [5613] a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], ye might [302] say [3004] unto this [5026] sycamine [4807] tree, Be thou plucked up by the root [1610], and [2532] be thou planted [5452] in [1722] the sea [2281]; and [2532] it should [302] obey [5219] you [5213]. 42 17 7 But [1161] which [5101] of [1537] you [5216], having [2192] a servant [1401] plowing [722] or [2228] feeding cattle [4165], will say [2046] unto him [3739] by and by [2112], when he is come [1525] from [1537] the field [68], Go [3928] and sit down to meat [377]? 42 17 8 And [235] will not [3780] rather say [2046] unto him [846], Make ready [2090] wherewith [5101] I may sup [1172], and [2532] gird thyself [4024], and serve [1247] me [3427], till [2193] I have eaten [5315] and [2532] drunken [4095]; and [2532] afterward [3326] [5023] thou [4771] shalt eat [5315] and [2532] drink [4095]? 42 17 9 [3361] Doth he [2192] thank [5485] that [1565] servant [1401] because [3754] he did [4160] the things that were commanded [1299] him [846]? I trow [1380] not [3756]. 42 17 10 So [3779] likewise [2532] ye [5210], when [3752] ye shall have done [4160] all [3956] those things which are commanded [1299] you [5213], say [3004], [3754] We are [2070] unprofitable [888] servants [1401]: [3754] we have done [4160] that which [3739] was our duty [3784] to do [4160]. 42 17 11 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he [846] went [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], that [2532] he [846] passed [1330] through [1223] the midst [3319] of Samaria [4540] and [2532] Galilee [1056]. 42 17 12 And [2532] as he [846] entered [1525] into [1519] a certain [5100] village [2968], there met [528] him [846] ten [1176] men [435] that were lepers [3015], which [3739] stood [2476] afar off [4207]: 42 17 13 And [2532] they [846] lifted up [142] their voices [5456], and said [3004], Jesus [2424], Master [1988], have mercy [1653] on us [2248]. 42 17 14 And [2532] when he saw [1492] them, he said [2036] unto them [846], Go [4198] shew [1925] yourselves [1438] unto the priests [2409]. And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, as they [846] went [5217] [1722], they were cleansed [2511]. 42 17 15 And [1161] one [1520] of [1537] them [846], when he saw [1492] that [3754] he was healed [2390], turned back [5290], and with [3326] a loud [3173] voice [5456] glorified [1392] God [2316], 42 17 16 And [2532] fell down [4098] on [1909] his face [4383] at [3844] his [846] feet [4228], giving [2168] him [846] thanks [2168]: and [2532] he [846] was [2258] a Samaritan [4541]. 42 17 17 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036], Were there [2511] not [3780] ten [1176] cleansed [2511]? but [1161] where [4226] are the nine [1767]? 42 17 18 There are [2147] not [3756] found [2147] that returned [5290] to give [1325] glory [1391] to God [2316], save [1508] this [3778] stranger [241]. 42 17 19 And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Arise [450], go thy way [4198]: thy [4675] faith [4102] hath made [4982] thee [4571] whole [4982]. 42 17 20 And [1161] when he was demanded [1905] of [5259] the Pharisees [5330], when [4219] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] should come [2064], he answered [611] them [846] and [2532] said [2036], The kingdom [932] of God [2316] cometh [2064] not [3756] with [3326] observation [3907]: 42 17 21 Neither [3761] shall they say [2046], Lo [2400] here [5602]! or [2228], lo [2400] there [1563]! for [1063], behold [2400], the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is [2076] within [1787] you [5216]. 42 17 22 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] the disciples [3101], The days [2250] will come [2064], when [3753] ye shall desire [1937] to see [1492] one [3391] of the days [2250] of the Son [5207] of man [444], and [2532] ye shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] it. 42 17 23 And [2532] they shall say [2046] to you [5213], See [2400] here [5602]; or [2228], see [2400] there [1563]: go [565] not [3361] after [565] them, nor [3366] follow [1377] them. 42 17 24 For [1063] as [5618] the lightning [796], that lighteneth [797] out of [1537] the one part under [5259] heaven [3772], shineth [2989] unto [1519] the other part under [5259] heaven [3772]; so [3779] shall also [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071] in [1722] his [846] day [2250]. 42 17 25 But [1161] first [4412] must [1163] he [846] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] this [5026] generation [1074]. 42 17 26 And [2532] as [2531] it was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Noe [3575], so [3779] shall it be [2071] also [2532] in [1722] the days [2250] of the Son [5207] of man [444]. 42 17 27 They did eat [2068], they drank [4095], they married wives [1060], they were given in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787], and [2532] the flood [2627] came [2064], and [2532] destroyed [622] them all [537]. 42 17 28 Likewise [3668] also [2532] as [5613] it was [1096] in [1722] the days [2250] of Lot [3091]; they did eat [2068], they drank [4095], they bought [59], they sold [4453], they planted [5452], they builded [3618]; 42 17 29 But [3739] [1161] the same day [2250] that Lot [3091] went [1831] out of [575] Sodom [4670] it rained [1026] fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303] from [575] heaven [3772], and [2532] destroyed [622] them all [537]. 42 17 30 Even [2596] thus [5024] shall it be [2071] in the day [3739] [2250] when the Son [5207] of man [444] is revealed [601]. 42 17 31 In [1722] that [1565] day [2250], he which [3739] shall be [2071] upon [1909] the housetop [1430], and [2532] his [846] stuff [4632] in [1722] the house [3614], let [2597] him not [3361] come down [2597] to take [142] it [846] away [142]: and [2532] he that is in [1722] the field [68], let him [1994] likewise [3668] not [3361] return [1994] back [1519] [3694]. 42 17 32 Remember [3421] Lot's [3091] wife [1135]. 42 17 33 Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall seek [2212] to save [4982] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall lose [622] his [846] life shall preserve [2225] it [846]. 42 17 34 I tell [3004] you [5213], in that [5026] night [3571] there shall be [2071] two [1417] men in [1909] one [3391] bed [2825]; the one [1520] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [2087] shall be left [863]. 42 17 35 Two [1417] women shall be [2071] grinding [229] together [846] [1909]; the one [3391] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [2087] left [863]. 42 17 36 Two [1417] men shall be [2071] in [1722] the field [68]; the one [1520] shall be taken [3880], and [2532] the other [2087] left [863]. 42 17 37 And [2532] they answered [611] and said [3004] unto him [846], Where [4226], Lord [2962]? And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Wheresoever [3699] the body [4983] is, thither [1563] will [4863] the eagles [105] be gathered together [4863]. 42 18 1 And [1161] he spake [3004] [2532] a parable [3850] unto them [846] [4314] to this end, that men ought [1163] always [3842] to pray [4336], and [2532] not [3361] to faint [1573]; 42 18 2 Saying [3004], There was [2258] in [1722] a [5100] city [4172] a [5100] judge [2923], which feared [5399] not [3361] God [2316], neither [2532] [3361] regarded [1788] man [444]: 42 18 3 And [1161] there was [2258] a widow [5503] in [1722] that [1565] city [4172]; and [2532] she came [2064] unto [4314] him [846], saying [3004], Avenge [1556] me [3165] of [575] mine [3450] adversary [476]. 42 18 4 And [2532] he would [2309] not [3756] for [1909] a while [5550]: but [1161] afterward [5023] [3326] he said [2036] within [1722] himself [1438], Though [1499] I fear [5399] not [3756] God [2316], nor [2532] [3756] regard [1788] man [444]; 42 18 5 Yet [1065] because [1223] this [5026] widow [5503] troubleth [3930] [2873] me [3427], I will avenge [1556] her [846], lest [3363] by [1519] her continual [5056] coming [2064] she weary [5299] me [3165]. 42 18 6 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], Hear [191] what [5101] the unjust [93] judge [2923] saith [3004]. 42 18 7 And [1161] shall [1557] not [3364] God [2316] avenge [4160] [1557] his own [846] elect [1588], which [3588] cry [994] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] unto [4314] him [846], though [2532] he bear long [3114] with [1909] them [846]? 42 18 8 I tell [3004] you [5213] that [3754] he will [4160] avenge [1557] them [846] speedily [5034] [1722]. Nevertheless [4133] when [687] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064], shall he find [2147] faith [4102] on [1909] the earth [1093]? 42 18 9 And [1161] he spake [2036] [2532] this [5026] parable [3850] unto [4314] certain [5100] which [3588] trusted [3982] in [1909] themselves [1438] that [3754] they were [1526] righteous [1342], and [2532] despised [1848] others [3062]: 42 18 10 Two [1417] men [444] went up [305] into [1519] the temple [2411] to pray [4336]; the one [1520] a Pharisee [5330], and [2532] the other [2087] a publican [5057]. 42 18 11 The Pharisee [5330] stood [2476] and prayed [4336] thus [5023] with [4314] himself [1438], God [2316], I thank [2168] thee [4671], that [3754] I am [1510] not [3756] as [5618] other [3062] men [444] are, extortioners [727], unjust [94], adulterers [3432], or [2228] even [2532] as [5613] this [3778] publican [5057]. 42 18 12 I fast [3522] twice [1364] in the week [4521], I give tithes [586] of all [3956] that [3745] I possess [2932]. 42 18 13 And [2532] the publican [5057], standing [2476] afar off [3113], would [2309] not [3756] lift up [1869] so much as [3761] his eyes [3788] unto [1519] heaven [3772], but [235] smote [5180] upon [1519] his [846] breast [4738], saying [3004], God [2316] be merciful [2433] to me [3427] a sinner [268]. 42 18 14 I tell [3004] you [5213], this man [3778] went down [2597] to [1519] his [846] house [3624] justified [1344] rather than [2228] the other [1565]: for [3754] every one [3956] that exalteth [5312] himself [1438] shall be abased [5013]; and [1161] he that humbleth [5013] himself [1438] shall be exalted [5312]. 42 18 15 And [1161] they brought [4374] unto him [846] also [2532] infants [1025], that [2443] he would touch [680] them [846]: but [1161] when his disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they rebuked [2008] them [846]. 42 18 16 But [1161] Jesus [2424] called [4341] them [846] unto him, and said [2036], Suffer [863] little children [3813] to come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] forbid [2967] them [846] not [3361]: for [1063] of such [5108] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 18 17 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Whosoever [3739] shall [1209] not [3362] receive [1209] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] as [5613] a little child [3813] shall [1525] in no wise [3364] enter [1525] therein [1519] [846]. 42 18 18 And [2532] a certain [5100] ruler [758] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Good [18] Master [1320], what [5101] shall I do [4160] to inherit [2816] eternal [166] life [2222]? 42 18 19 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Why [5101] callest thou [3004] me [3165] good [18]? none [3762] is good [18], save [1508] one [1520], that is, God [2316]. 42 18 20 Thou knowest [1492] the commandments [1785], Do [3431] not [3361] commit adultery [3431], Do [5407] not [3361] kill [5407], Do [2813] not [3361] steal [2813], Do [5576] not [3361] bear false witness [5576], Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] thy [4675] mother [3384]. 42 18 21 And [1161] he said [2036], All [3956] these [5023] have I kept [5442] from [1537] my [3450] youth [3503] up. 42 18 22 Now [1161] when Jesus [2424] heard [191] these things [5023], he said [2036] unto him [846], Yet [2089] lackest [3007] thou [4671] one [1520] thing: sell [4453] all [3956] that [3745] thou hast [2192], and [2532] distribute [1239] unto the poor [4434], and [2532] thou shalt have [2192] treasure [2344] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] come [1204], follow [190] me [3427]. 42 18 23 And [1161] when he heard [191] this [5023], he was [1096] very sorrowful [4036]: for [1063] he was [2258] very [4970] rich [4145]. 42 18 24 And [1161] when Jesus [2424] saw [1492] that he [846] was [1096] very sorrowful [4036], he said [2036], How [4459] hardly [1423] shall they [1525] that have [2192] riches [5536] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]! 42 18 25 For [1063] it is [2076] easier [2123] for a camel [2574] to go [1525] through [1223] a needle's [4476] eye [5168], than [2228] for a rich man [4145] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 18 26 And [1161] they that heard [191] it said [2036], Who [5101] then [2532] can be [1410] saved [4982]? 42 18 27 And [1161] he said [2036], The things which are impossible [102] with [3844] men [444] are [2076] possible [1415] with [3844] God [2316]. 42 18 28 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Lo [2400], we [2249] have left [863] all [3956], and [2532] followed [190] thee [4671]. 42 18 29 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] There is [2076] no man [3762] that [3739] hath left [863] house [3614], or [2228] parents [1118], or [2228] brethren [80], or [2228] wife [1135], or [2228] children [5043], for [1752] the kingdom [932] of God's [2316] sake [1752], 42 18 30 Who [3739] shall [618] not [3364] receive [618] manifold more [4179] in [1722] this [5129] present time [2540], and [2532] in [1722] the world [165] to come [2064] life [2222] everlasting [166]. 42 18 31 Then [1161] he took [3880] unto him the twelve [1427], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Behold [2400], we go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] all things [3956] that are written [1125] by [1223] the prophets [4396] concerning the Son [5207] of man [444] shall be accomplished [5055]. 42 18 32 For [1063] he shall be delivered [3860] unto the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] shall be mocked [1702], and [2532] spitefully entreated [5195], and [2532] spitted on [1716]: 42 18 33 And [2532] they shall scourge [3146] him, and put [615] him [846] to death [615]: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450]. 42 18 34 And [2532] they [846] understood [4920] none [3762] of these things [5130]: and [2532] this [5124] saying [4487] was [2258] hid [2928] from [575] them [846], [2532] neither [3756] knew they [1097] the things which were spoken [3004]. 42 18 35 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that as [1722] he [846] was come nigh [1448] unto [1519] Jericho [2410], a certain [5100] blind man [5185] sat [2521] by [3844] the way side [3598] begging [4319]: 42 18 36 And [1161] hearing [191] the multitude [3793] pass by [1279], he asked [4441] what [5101] it [5124] meant [1498]. 42 18 37 And [1161] they told [518] him [846], that [3754] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480] passeth by [3928]. 42 18 38 And [2532] he cried [994], saying [3004], Jesus [2424], thou Son [5207] of David [1138], have mercy [1653] on me [3165]. 42 18 39 And [2532] they which went before [4254] rebuked [2008] him [846], that [2443] he should hold his peace [4623]: but [1161] he [846] cried [2896] so much [4183] the more [3123], Thou Son [5207] of David [1138], have mercy [1653] on me [3165]. 42 18 40 And [1161] Jesus [2424] stood [2476], and commanded [2753] him [846] to be brought [71] unto [4314] him [846]: and [1161] when he [846] was come near [1448], he asked [1905] him [846], 42 18 41 Saying [3004], What [5101] wilt thou [2309] that I shall do [4160] unto thee [4671]? And [1161] he said [2036], Lord [2962], that [2443] I may receive my sight [308]. 42 18 42 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Receive thy sight [308]: thy [4675] faith [4102] hath saved [4982] thee [4571]. 42 18 43 And [2532] immediately [3916] he received his sight [308], and [2532] followed [190] him [846], glorifying [1392] God [2316]: and [2532] all [3956] the people [2992], when they saw [1492] it, gave [1325] praise [136] unto God [2316]. 42 19 1 And [2532] Jesus entered [1525] and passed through [1330] Jericho [2410]. 42 19 2 And [2532], behold [2400], there was a man [435] named [3686] [2564] Zacchaeus [2195], which [2532] [846] was [2258] the chief among the publicans [754], and [2532] he [3778] was [2258] rich [4145]. 42 19 3 And [2532] he sought [2212] to see [1492] Jesus [2424] who [5101] he was [2076]; and [2532] could [1410] not [3756] for [575] the press [3793], because [3754] he was [2258] little [3398] of stature [2244]. 42 19 4 And [2532] he ran [4390] before [1715], and climbed up [305] into [1909] a sycomore tree [4809] to [2443] see [1492] him [846]: for [3754] he was [3195] to pass [1330] [1223] that [1565] way. 42 19 5 And [2532] when [5613] Jesus [2424] came [2064] to [1909] the place [5117], he looked up [308], and saw [1492] him [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Zacchaeus [2195], make haste [4692], and come down [2597]; for [1063] to day [4594] I [3165] must [1163] abide [3306] at [1722] thy [4675] house [3624]. 42 19 6 And [2532] he made haste [4692], and came down [2597], and [2532] received [5264] him [846] joyfully [5463]. 42 19 7 And [2532] when they saw [1492] it, they [1234] all [537] murmured [1234], saying [3004], That [3754] he was gone [1525] to be guest [2647] with [3844] a man [435] that is a sinner [268]. 42 19 8 And [1161] Zacchaeus [2195] stood [2476], and said [2036] unto [4314] the Lord [2962]; Behold [2400], Lord [2962], the half [2255] of my [3450] goods [5224] I give [1325] to the poor [4434]; and [2532] if [1536] I have taken [4811] any thing [1536] from any man [5100] by false accusation [4811], I restore [591] him fourfold [5073]. 42 19 9 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], [3754] This day [4594] is [1096] salvation [4991] come [1096] to this [5129] house [3624], forsomuch as [2530] he [846] also [2532] is [2076] a son [5207] of Abraham [11]. 42 19 10 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] is come [2064] to seek [2212] and [2532] to save [4982] that which was lost [622]. 42 19 11 And [1161] as they [846] heard [191] these things [5023], he added [4369] and spake [2036] a parable [3850], because [1223] he [846] was [1511] nigh [1451] to Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] because they [846] thought [1380] that [3754] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] should [3195] immediately [3916] appear [398]. 42 19 12 He said [2036] therefore [3767], A certain [5100] nobleman [444] [2104] went [4198] into [1519] a far [3117] country [5561] to receive [2983] for himself [1438] a kingdom [932], and [2532] to return [5290]. 42 19 13 And [1161] he called [2564] his [1438] ten [1176] servants [1401], and delivered [1325] them [846] ten [1176] pounds [3414], and [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Occupy [4231] till [2193] I come [2064]. 42 19 14 But [1161] his [846] citizens [4177] hated [3404] him [846], and [2532] sent [649] a message [4242] after [3694] him [846], saying [3004], We will [2309] not [3756] have [2309] this [5126] man to reign [936] over [1909] us [2248]. 42 19 15 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that when [1722] he [846] was returned [1880], having received [2983] the kingdom [932], then [2532] he commanded [2036] these [5128] servants [1401] to be called [5455] unto him [846], to whom [3739] he had given [1325] the money [694], that [2443] he might know [1097] how much [5101] every man [5101] had gained by trading [1281]. 42 19 16 Then [1161] came [3854] the first [4413], saying [3004], Lord [2962], thy [4675] pound [3414] hath gained [4333] ten [1176] pounds [3414]. 42 19 17 And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Well [2095], thou good [18] servant [1401]: because [3754] thou hast been [1096] faithful [4103] in [1722] a very little [1646], have [2192] thou authority [2468] [1849] over [1883] ten [1176] cities [4172]. 42 19 18 And [2532] the second [1208] came [2064], saying [3004], Lord [2962], thy [4675] pound [3414] hath gained [4160] five [4002] pounds [3414]. 42 19 19 And [1161] he said [2036] likewise [2532] to him [5129], Be [1096] thou [4771] also [2532] over [1883] five [4002] cities [4172]. 42 19 20 And [2532] another [2087] came [2064], saying [3004], Lord [2962], behold [2400], here is thy [4675] pound [3414], which [3739] I have [2192] kept laid up [606] in [1722] a napkin [4676]: 42 19 21 For [1063] I feared [5399] thee [4571], because [3754] thou art [1488] an austere [840] man [444]: thou takest up [142] that [3739] thou layedst [5087] not [3756] down [5087], and [2532] reapest [2325] that [3739] thou didst [4687] not [3756] sow [4687]. 42 19 22 And [1161] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Out of [1537] thine own [4675] mouth [4750] will I judge [2919] thee [4571], thou wicked [4190] servant [1401]. Thou knewest [1492] that [3754] I [1473] was [1510] an austere [840] man [444], taking up [142] that [3739] I laid [5087] not [3756] down [5087], and [2532] reaping [2325] that [3739] I did [4687] not [3756] sow [4687]: 42 19 23 Wherefore [1302] then [2532] gavest [1325] not [3756] thou [1325] my [3450] money [694] into [1909] the bank [5132], that [2532] at my coming [2064] I [1473] might [302] have required [4238] mine own [846] with [4862] usury [5110]? 42 19 24 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them that stood by [3936], Take [142] from [575] him [846] the pound [3414], and [2532] give [1325] it to him that hath [2192] ten [1176] pounds [3414]. 42 19 25 (And [2532] they said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], he hath [2192] ten [1176] pounds [3414].) 42 19 26 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] unto every one [3956] which [3588] hath [2192] shall be given [1325]; and [1161] from [575] him that hath [2192] not [3361], even [2532] that [3739] he hath [2192] shall be taken away [142] from [575] him [846]. 42 19 27 But [4133] those [1565] mine [3450] enemies [2190], which [3588] would [2309] not [3361] that I [3165] should reign [936] over [1909] them [846], bring [71] hither [5602], and [2532] slay [2695] them before [1715] me [3450]. 42 19 28 And [2532] when he had thus [5023] spoken [2036], he went [4198] before [1715], ascending up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]. 42 19 29 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when [5613] he was come nigh [1448] to [1519] Bethphage [967] and [2532] Bethany [963], at [4314] the mount [3735] called [2564] the mount of Olives [1636], he sent [649] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101], 42 19 30 Saying [2036], Go ye [5217] into [1519] the village [2968] over against [2713] you; in [1722] the which [3739] at your entering [1531] ye shall find [2147] a colt [4454] tied [1210], whereon [1909] [3739] yet never [3762] man [444] sat [2523] [4455]: loose [3089] him [846], and bring [71] him hither. 42 19 31 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] ask [2065] you [5209], Why [1302] do ye loose [3089] him? thus [3779] shall ye say [2046] unto him [846], Because [3754] the Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of him [846]. 42 19 32 And [1161] they that were sent [649] went their way [565], and found [2147] even as [2531] he had said [2036] unto them [846]. 42 19 33 And [1161] as they [846] were loosing [3089] the colt [4454], the owners [2962] thereof [846] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Why [5101] loose ye [3089] the colt [4454]? 42 19 34 And [1161] they said [2036], The Lord [2962] hath [2192] need [5532] of him [846]. 42 19 35 And [2532] they brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]: and [2532] they cast [1977] their [1438] garments [2440] upon [1909] [1977] the colt [4454], and [1977] they set [1913] Jesus [2424] thereon [1913]. 42 19 36 And [1161] as he [846] went [4198], they spread [5291] their [846] clothes [2440] in [1722] the way [3598]. 42 19 37 And when he [846] was come nigh [1448], even [1161] now [2235] at [4314] the descent [2600] of the mount [3735] of Olives [1636], the whole [537] multitude [4128] of the disciples [3101] began [756] to rejoice [5463] and praise [134] God [2316] with a loud [3173] voice [5456] for [4012] all [3956] the mighty works [1411] that [3739] they had seen [1492]; 42 19 38 Saying [3004], Blessed [2127] be the King [935] that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]: peace [1515] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] glory [1391] in [1722] the highest [5310]. 42 19 39 And [2532] some [5100] of the Pharisees [5330] from [575] among the multitude [3793] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Master [1320], rebuke [2008] thy [4675] disciples [3101]. 42 19 40 And [2532] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], I tell [3004] you [5213] that [3754], if [1437] these [3778] should hold their peace [4623], the stones [3037] would immediately cry out [2896]. 42 19 41 And [2532] when [5613] he was come near [1448], he beheld [1492] the city [4172], and wept [2799] over [1909] it [846], 42 19 42 Saying [3004], If [3754] [1487] thou hadst known [1097], even [2532] thou [4771], at least [2534] in [1722] this [5026] thy [4675] day [2250], the things [3588] which belong unto [4314] thy [4675] peace [1515]! but [1161] now [3568] they are hid [2928] from [575] thine [4675] eyes [3788]. 42 19 43 For [3754] the days [2250] shall come [2240] upon [1909] thee [4571], that [2532] thine [4675] enemies [2190] shall cast [4016] a trench [5482] about [4016] thee [4671], and [2532] compass [4033] thee [4571] round [4033], and [2532] keep [4912] thee [4571] in [4912] on every side [3840], 42 19 44 And [2532] shall lay [1474] thee [4571] even with the ground [1474], and [2532] thy [4675] children [5043] within [1722] thee [4671]; and [2532] they shall [863] not [3756] leave [863] in [1722] thee [4671] one stone [3037] upon [1909] another [3037]; because [473] [3739] thou knewest [1097] not [3756] the time [2540] of thy [4675] visitation [1984]. 42 19 45 And [2532] he went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411], and began [756] to cast out [1544] them that sold [4453] therein [1722] [846], and [2532] them that bought [59]; 42 19 46 Saying [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] is [2076] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]: but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027]. 42 19 47 And [2532] he taught [2258] [1321] daily [2596] [2250] in [1722] the temple [2411]. But [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the chief [4413] of the people [2992] sought [2212] to destroy [622] him [846], 42 19 48 And [2532] could [2147] not [3756] find [2147] what [5101] they might do [4160]: for [1063] all [537] the people [2992] were very attentive [1582] to hear [191] him [846]. 42 20 1 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that on [1722] one [3391] of those [1565] days [2250], as he [846] taught [1321] the people [2992] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] preached the gospel [2097], the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] came upon [2186] him with [4862] the elders [4245], 42 20 2 And [2532] spake [2036] unto [4314] him [846], saying [3004], Tell [2036] us [2254], by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] doest thou [4160] these things [5023]? or [2228] who [5101] is he [2076] that gave [1325] thee [4671] this [5026] authority [1849]? 42 20 3 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], I [2504] will [2065] also [2504] ask [2065] you [5209] one [1520] thing [3056]; and [2532] answer [2036] me [3427]: 42 20 4 The baptism [908] of John [2491], was it [2258] from [1537] heaven [3772], or [2228] of [1537] men [444]? 42 20 5 And [1161] they reasoned [4817] with [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004], [3754] If [1437] we shall say [2036], From [1537] heaven [3772]; he will say [2046], Why [1302] then [3767] believed ye [4100] him [846] not [3756]? 42 20 6 But and [1161] if [1437] we say [2036], Of [1537] men [444]; all [3956] the people [2992] will stone [2642] us [2248]: for [1063] they be [2076] persuaded [3982] that John [2491] was [1511] a prophet [4396]. 42 20 7 And [2532] they answered [611], that they could [1492] not [3361] tell [1492] whence [4159] it was. 42 20 8 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Neither [3761] tell [3004] I [1473] you [5213] by [1722] what [4169] authority [1849] I do [4160] these things [5023]. 42 20 9 Then [1161] began he [756] to speak [3004] to [4314] the people [2992] this [5026] parable [3850]; A certain [5100] man [444] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] forth [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589] for a long [2425] time [5550]. 42 20 10 And [2532] at [1722] the season [2540] he sent [649] a servant [1401] to [4314] the husbandmen [1092], that [2443] they should give [1325] him [846] of [575] the fruit [2590] of the vineyard [290]: but [1161] the husbandmen [1092] beat [1194] him [846], and sent him away [1821] empty [2756]. 42 20 11 And [2532] again [4369] he sent [3992] another [2087] servant [1401]: and [1161] they beat [1194] him also [2548], and [2532] entreated him shamefully [818], and sent him away [1821] empty [2756]. 42 20 12 And [2532] again [4369] he sent [3992] a third [5154]: and [1161] they wounded [5135] him [5126] also [2532], and cast him out [1544]. 42 20 13 Then [1161] said [2036] the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290], What [5101] shall I do [4160]? I will send [3992] my [3450] beloved [27] son [5207]: it may be [2481] they will reverence [1788] him when they see [1492] him [5126]. 42 20 14 But [1161] when the husbandmen [1092] saw [1492] him [846], they reasoned [1260] among [4314] themselves [1438], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] the heir [2818]: come [1205], let us kill [615] him [846], that [2443] the inheritance [2817] may be [1096] ours [2257]. 42 20 15 So [2532] they cast [1544] him [846] out of [1854] the vineyard [290], and killed [615] him. What [5101] therefore [3767] shall [4160] the lord [2962] of the vineyard [290] do [4160] unto them [846]? 42 20 16 He shall come [2064] and [2532] destroy [622] these [5128] husbandmen [1092], and [2532] shall give [1325] the vineyard [290] to others [243]. And [1161] when they heard [191] it, they said [2036], God forbid [3361] [1096]. 42 20 17 And [1161] he beheld [1689] them [846], and said [2036], What [5101] is [2076] this [5124] then [3767] that is written [1125], The stone [3037] which [3739] the builders [3618] rejected [593], the same [3778] is become [1096] the head [2776] of [1519] the corner [1137]? 42 20 18 Whosoever [3956] shall fall [4098] upon [1909] that [1565] stone [3037] shall be broken [4917]; but [1161] on [1909] whomsoever [3739] [302] it shall fall [4098], it will grind [3039] him [846] to powder [3039]. 42 20 19 And [2532] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] the same [1722] [846] hour [5610] sought [2212] to lay [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846]; and [2532] they feared [5399] the people [2992]: for [1063] they perceived [1097] that [3754] he had spoken [2036] this [5026] parable [3850] against [4314] them [846]. 42 20 20 And [2532] they watched [3906] him, and sent forth [649] spies [1455], which should feign [5271] [1511] themselves [1438] just men [1342], that [2443] they might take hold [1949] of his [846] words [3056], that so [1519] they might deliver [3860] him [846] unto the power [746] and [2532] authority [1849] of the governor [2232]. 42 20 21 And [2532] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], we know [1492] that [3754] thou sayest [3004] and [2532] teachest [1321] rightly [3723], [2532] neither [3756] acceptest thou [2983] the person [4383] of any, but [235] teachest [1321] the way [3598] of God [2316] truly [225] [1909]: 42 20 22 Is it lawful [1832] for us [2254] to give [1325] tribute [5411] unto Caesar [2541], or [2228] no [3756]? 42 20 23 But [1161] he perceived [2657] their [846] craftiness [3834], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Why [5101] tempt ye [3985] me [3165]? 42 20 24 Shew [1925] me [3427] a penny [1220]. Whose [5101] image [1504] and [2532] superscription [1923] hath it [2192]? They answered [611] and [1161] said [2036], Caesar's [2541]. 42 20 25 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Render [591] therefore [5106] unto Caesar [2541] the things which be [3588] Caesar's [2541], and [2532] unto God [2316] the things which be [3588] God's [2316]. 42 20 26 And [2532] they could [2480] not [3756] take hold [1949] of his [846] words [4487] before [1726] the people [2992]: and [2532] they marvelled [2296] at [1909] his [846] answer [612], and held their peace [4601]. 42 20 27 Then [1161] came [4334] to him certain [5100] of the Sadducees [4523], which [3588] deny [483] that there is [1511] any [3361] resurrection [386]; and they asked [1905] him [846], 42 20 28 Saying [3004], Master [1320], Moses [3475] wrote [1125] unto us [2254], If [1437] any man's [5100] brother [80] die [599], having [2192] a wife [1135], and [2532] he [3778] die [599] without children [815], that [2443] his [846] brother [80] should take [2983] his wife [1135], and [2532] raise up [1817] seed [4690] unto his [846] brother [80]. 42 20 29 There were [2258] therefore [3767] seven [2033] brethren [80]: and [2532] the first [4413] took [2983] a wife [1135], and died [599] without children [815]. 42 20 30 And [2532] the second [1208] took [2983] her to wife [1135], and [2532] he [3778] died [599] childless [815]. 42 20 31 And [2532] the third [5154] took [2983] her [846]; and [1161] in like manner [5615] the seven [2033] also [2532]: and they left [2641] no [3756] children [5043], and [2532] died [599]. 42 20 32 [1161] Last [5305] of all [3956] the woman [1135] died [599] also [2532]. 42 20 33 Therefore [3767] in [1722] the resurrection [386] whose [5101] wife [1135] of them [846] is she [1096]? for [1063] seven [2033] had [2192] her [846] to wife [1135]. 42 20 34 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] said [2036] unto them [846], The children [5207] of this [5127] world [165] marry [1060], and [2532] are given in marriage [1548]: 42 20 35 But [1161] they which shall be accounted worthy [2661] to obtain [5177] that [1565] world [165], and [2532] the resurrection [386] from [1537] the dead [3498], neither [3777] marry [1060], nor [3777] are given in marriage [1548]: 42 20 36 Neither [3777] [1063] can [1410] they die [599] any more [2089]: for [1063] they are [1526] equal unto the angels [2465]; and [2532] are [1526] the children [5207] of God [2316], being [5607] the children [5207] of the resurrection [386]. 42 20 37 Now [1161] that [3754] the dead [3498] are raised [1453], even [2532] Moses [3475] shewed [3377] at [1909] the bush [942], when [5613] he calleth [3004] the Lord [2962] the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]. 42 20 38 For [1161] he is [2076] not [3756] a God [2316] of the dead [3498], but [235] of the living [2198]: for [1063] all [3956] live [2198] unto him [846]. 42 20 39 Then [1161] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] answering [611] said [2036], Master [1320], thou hast well [2573] said [2036]. 42 20 40 And [1161] after that [3765] they durst [5111] not [3765] ask [1905] him [846] any [3762] question at all. 42 20 41 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], How [4459] say [3004] they that Christ [5547] is [1511] David's [1138] son [5207]? 42 20 42 And [2532] David [1138] himself [846] saith [3004] in [1722] the book [976] of Psalms [5568], The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], 42 20 43 Till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [4228] [5286]. 42 20 44 David [1138] therefore [3767] calleth [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], how [4459] is he [2076] then [2532] his [846] son [5207]? 42 20 45 Then [1161] in the audience [191] of all [3956] the people [2992] he said [2036] unto his [846] disciples [3101], 42 20 46 Beware [4337] of [575] the scribes [1122], which [3588] desire [2309] to walk [4043] in [1722] long robes [4749], and [2532] love [5368] greetings [783] in [1722] the markets [58], and [2532] the highest seats [4410] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], and [2532] the chief rooms [4411] at [1722] feasts [1173]; 42 20 47 Which [3739] devour [2719] widows [5503]' houses [3614], and [2532] for a shew [4392] make [4336] long [3117] prayers [4336]: the same [3778] shall receive [2983] greater [4055] damnation [2917]. 42 21 1 And [1161] he looked up [308], and saw [1492] the rich men [4145] casting [906] their [846] gifts [1435] into [1519] the treasury [1049]. 42 21 2 And [1161] he saw [1492] also [2532] a certain [5100] poor [3998] widow [5503] casting [906] in thither [1563] two [1417] mites [3016]. 42 21 3 And [2532] he said [2036], Of a truth [230] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] this [3778] poor [4434] widow [5503] hath cast [906] in more than [4119] they all [3956]: 42 21 4 For [1063] all [537] these [3778] have of [1537] their [846] abundance [4052] cast [906] in unto [1519] the offerings [1435] of God [2316]: but [1161] she [3778] [846] of [1537] her [846] penury [5303] hath cast [906] in all [537] the living [979] that [3739] she had [2192]. 42 21 5 And [2532] as some [5100] spake [3004] of [4012] the temple [2411], how [3754] it was adorned [2885] with goodly [2570] stones [3037] and [2532] gifts [334], he said [2036], 42 21 6 As for these things [5023] which [3739] ye behold [2334], the days [2250] will come [2064], in [1722] the which [3739] there shall [863] not [3756] be left [863] one stone [3037] upon [1909] another [3037], that [3739] shall [2647] not [3756] be thrown down [2647]. 42 21 7 And [1161] they asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], but [3767] when [4219] shall [2071] these things [5023] be [2071]? and [2532] what [5101] sign [4592] will there be when [3752] these things [5023] shall [3195] come to pass [1096]? 42 21 8 And [1161] he said [2036], Take heed [991] that ye be [4105] not [3361] deceived [4105]: for [1063] many [4183] shall come [2064] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], saying [3004], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] Christ; and [2532] the time [2540] draweth near [1448]: go ye [4198] not [3361] therefore [3767] after [3694] them [846]. 42 21 9 But [1161] when [3752] ye shall hear [191] of wars [4171] and [2532] commotions [181], be [4422] not [3361] terrified [4422]: for [1063] these things [5023] must [1163] first [4412] come to pass [1096]; but [235] the end [5056] is not [3756] by and by [2112]. 42 21 10 Then [5119] said he [3004] unto them [846], Nation [1484] shall rise [1453] against [1909] nation [1484], and [2532] kingdom [932] against [1909] kingdom [932]: 42 21 11 And [5037] great [3173] earthquakes [4578] shall be [2071] in [2596] divers places [5117], and [2532] famines [3042], and [2532] pestilences [3061]; and [5037] fearful sights [5400] and [2532] great [3173] signs [4592] shall there be [2071] from [575] heaven [3772]. 42 21 12 But [1161] before [4253] all [537] these [5130], they shall lay [1911] their [846] hands [5495] on [1909] you [5209], and [2532] persecute [1377] you, delivering [3860] you up [1519] to the synagogues [4864], and [2532] into prisons [5438], being brought [71] before [1909] kings [935] and [2532] rulers [2232] for [1752] my [3450] name's [3686] sake [1752]. 42 21 13 And [1161] it shall turn [576] to you [5213] for [1519] a testimony [3142]. 42 21 14 Settle [5087] it therefore [3767] in [1519] your [5216] hearts [2588], not [3361] to meditate before [4304] what ye shall answer [626]: 42 21 15 For [1063] I [1473] will give [1325] you [5213] a mouth [4750] and [2532] wisdom [4678], which [3739] all [3956] your [5213] adversaries [480] shall [1410] not [3756] be able [1410] to gainsay [471] nor [3761] resist [436]. 42 21 16 And [1161] ye shall be betrayed [3860] both [2532] by [5259] parents [1118], and [2532] brethren [80], and [2532] kinsfolks [4773], and [2532] friends [5384]; and [2532] some of [1537] you [5216] shall they cause to be put to death [2289]. 42 21 17 And [2532] ye shall be [2071] hated [3404] of [5259] all [3956] men for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [3686]. 42 21 18 But [2532] there shall not [3364] an hair [2359] of [1537] your [5216] head [2776] perish [622]. 42 21 19 In [1722] your [5216] patience [5281] possess ye [2932] your [5216] souls [5590]. 42 21 20 And [1161] when [3752] ye shall see [1492] Jerusalem [2419] compassed [2944] with [5259] armies [4760], then [5119] know [1097] that [3754] the desolation [2050] thereof [846] is nigh [1448]. 42 21 21 Then [5119] let them [5343] which are in [1722] Judaea [2449] flee [5343] to [1519] the mountains [3735]; and [2532] let them [1633] which are in [1722] the midst [3319] of it [846] depart out [1633]; and [2532] let [1525] not [3361] them that are in [1722] the countries [5561] enter [1525] thereinto [1519] [846]. 42 21 22 For [3754] these [3778] be [1526] the days [2250] of vengeance [1557], that all things [3956] which [3588] are written [1125] may be fulfilled [4137]. 42 21 23 But [1161] woe [3759] unto [1722] them that are with child [1064] [2192], and [2532] to them that give suck [2337], in [1722] those [1565] days [2250]! for [1063] there shall be [2071] great [3173] distress [318] in [1909] the land [1093], and [2532] wrath [3709] upon [1722] this [5129] people [2992]. 42 21 24 And [2532] they shall fall [4098] by the edge [4750] of the sword [3162], and [2532] shall be led away captive [163] into [1519] all [3956] nations [1484]: and [2532] Jerusalem [2419] shall be [2071] trodden down [3961] of [5259] the Gentiles [1484], until [891] the times [2540] of the Gentiles [1484] be fulfilled [4137]. 42 21 25 And [2532] there shall be [2071] signs [4592] in [1722] the sun [2246], and [2532] in the moon [4582], and [2532] in the stars [798]; and [2532] upon [1909] the earth [1093] distress [4928] of nations [1484], with [1722] perplexity [640]; the sea [2281] and [2532] the waves [4535] roaring [2278]; 42 21 26 Men's [444] hearts failing them [674] for [575] fear [5401], and [2532] for looking after [4329] those things which are coming on [1904] the earth [3625]: for [1063] the powers [1411] of heaven [3772] shall be shaken [4531]. 42 21 27 And [2532] then [5119] shall they see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] coming [2064] in [1722] a cloud [3507] with [3326] power [1411] and [2532] great [4183] glory [1391]. 42 21 28 And [1161] when these things [5130] begin [756] to come to pass [1096], then look up [352], and [2532] lift up [1869] your [5216] heads [2776]; for [1360] your [5216] redemption [629] draweth nigh [1448]. 42 21 29 And [2532] he spake [2036] to them [846] a parable [3850]; Behold [1492] the fig tree [4808], and [2532] all [3956] the trees [1186]; 42 21 30 When [3752] they now [2235] shoot forth [4261], ye see [991] and know [1097] of [575] your own selves [1438] that [3754] summer [2330] is [2076] now [2235] nigh at hand [1451]. 42 21 31 So [3779] likewise [2532] ye [5210], when [3752] ye see [1492] these things [5023] come to pass [1096], know ye [1097] that [3754] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is [2076] nigh at hand [1451]. 42 21 32 Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] This [3778] generation [1074] shall [3928] not [3364] pass away [3928], [302] till [2193] all [3956] be fulfilled [1096]. 42 21 33 Heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093] shall pass away [3928]: but [1161] my [3450] words [3056] shall [3928] not [3364] pass away [3928]. 42 21 34 And [1161] take heed [4337] to yourselves [1438], lest at any time [3379] your [5216] hearts [2588] be overcharged [925] with [1722] surfeiting [2897], and [2532] drunkenness [3178], and [2532] cares [3308] of this life [982], and [2532] so that [1565] day [2250] come [2186] upon [1909] you [5209] unawares [160]. 42 21 35 For [1063] as [5613] a snare [3803] shall it come [1904] on [1909] all [3956] them that dwell [2521] on [1909] the face [4383] of the whole [3956] earth [1093]. 42 21 36 Watch ye [69] therefore [3767], and pray [1189] always [1722] [3956] [2540], that [2443] ye may be accounted worthy [2661] to escape [1628] all [3956] these things [5023] that shall [3195] come to pass [1096], and [2532] to stand [2476] before [1715] the Son [5207] of man [444]. 42 21 37 And [1161] in the day time [2250] he was [2258] teaching [1321] in [1722] the temple [2411]; and [1161] at night [3571] he went out [1831], and abode [835] in [1519] the mount [3735] that is called [2564] the mount of Olives [1636]. 42 21 38 And [2532] all [3956] the people [2992] came early in the morning [3719] to [4314] him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411], for to hear [191] him [846]. 42 22 1 Now [1161] the feast [1859] of unleavened bread [106] drew nigh [1448], which is called [3004] the Passover [3957]. 42 22 2 And [2532] the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] sought [2212] how [4459] they might kill [337] him [846]; for [1063] they feared [5399] the people [2992]. 42 22 3 Then [1161] entered [1525] Satan [4567] into [1519] Judas [2455] surnamed [1941] Iscariot [2469], being [5607] of [1537] the number [706] of the twelve [1427]. 42 22 4 And [2532] he went his way [565], and communed with [4814] the chief priests [749] and [2532] captains [4755], how [4459] he might betray [3860] him [846] unto them [846]. 42 22 5 And [2532] they were glad [5463], and [2532] covenanted [4934] to give [1325] him [846] money [694]. 42 22 6 And [2532] he promised [1843], and [2532] sought [2212] opportunity [2120] to betray [3860] him [846] unto them [846] in the absence [817] of the multitude [3793]. 42 22 7 Then [1161] came [2064] the day [2250] of unleavened bread [106], when [1722] [3739] the passover [3957] must [1163] be killed [2380]. 42 22 8 And [2532] he sent [649] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491], saying [2036], Go [4198] and prepare [2090] us [2254] the passover [3957], that [2443] we may eat [5315]. 42 22 9 And [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], Where [4226] wilt thou [2309] that we prepare [2090]? 42 22 10 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Behold [2400], when ye [5216] are entered [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], there shall [4876] a man [444] meet [4876] you [5213], bearing [941] a pitcher [2765] of water [5204]; follow [190] him [846] into [1519] the house [3614] where [3757] he entereth in [1531]. 42 22 11 And [2532] ye shall say [2046] unto the goodman [3617] of the house [3614], The Master [1320] saith [3004] unto thee [4671], Where [4226] is [2076] the guestchamber [2646], where [3699] I shall eat [5315] the passover [3957] with [3326] my [3450] disciples [3101]? 42 22 12 And [2548] he shall shew [1166] you [5213] a large [3173] upper room [508] furnished [4766]: there [1563] make ready [2090]. 42 22 13 And [1161] they went [565], and found [2147] as [2531] he had said [2046] unto them [846]: and [2532] they made ready [2090] the passover [3957]. 42 22 14 And [2532] when [3753] the hour [5610] was come [1096], he sat down [377], and [2532] the twelve [1427] apostles [652] with [4862] him [846]. 42 22 15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], With desire [1939] I have desired [1937] to eat [5315] this [5124] passover [3957] with [3326] you [5216] before [4253] I [3165] suffer [3958]: 42 22 16 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] I will [5315] not [3765] any more [3364] eat [5315] thereof [846] [1537], until [2193] [3755] it be fulfilled [4137] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 22 17 And [2532] he took [1209] the cup [4221], and gave thanks [2168], and said [2036], Take [2983] this [5124], and [2532] divide [1266] it among yourselves [1438]: 42 22 18 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] I will [4095] not [3364] drink [4095] of [575] the fruit [1081] of the vine [288], until [2193] [3755] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] shall come [2064]. 42 22 19 And [2532] he took [2983] bread [740], and gave thanks [2168], and brake [2806] it, and [2532] gave [1325] unto them [846], saying [3004], This [5124] is [2076] my [3450] body [4983] which [3588] is given [1325] for [5228] you [5216]: this [5124] do [4160] in remembrance [364] of [1519] me [1699]. 42 22 20 Likewise [5615] also [2532] the cup [4221] after [3326] supper [1172], saying [3004], This [5124] cup [4221] is the new [2537] testament [1242] in [1722] my [3450] blood [129], which [3588] is shed [1632] for [5228] you [5216]. 42 22 21 But [4133], behold [2400], the hand [5495] of him that betrayeth [3860] me [3165] is with [3326] me [1700] on [1909] the table [5132]. 42 22 22 And [2532] truly [3303] the Son [5207] of man [444] goeth [4198], as [2596] it was determined [3724]: but [4133] woe [3759] unto that [1565] man [444] by [1223] whom [3739] he is betrayed [3860] ! 42 22 23 And [2532] they [846] began [756] to enquire [4802] among [4314] themselves [1438], which [5101] [686] of [1537] them [846] it was [1498] that should [3195] do [4238] this thing [5124]. 42 22 24 And [1161] there was [1096] also [2532] a strife [5379] among [1722] them [846], which [5101] of them [846] should be accounted [1380] [1511] the greatest [3187]. 42 22 25 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], The kings [935] of the Gentiles [1484] exercise lordship over [2961] them [846]; and [2532] they that exercise authority upon [1850] them [846] are called [2564] benefactors [2110]. 42 22 26 But [1161] ye [5210] shall not [3756] be so [3779]: but [235] he that is greatest [3187] among [1722] you [5213], let him be [1096] as [5613] the younger [3501]; and [2532] he that is chief [2233], as [5613] he that doth serve [1247]. 42 22 27 For [1063] whether [5101] is greater [3187], he that sitteth at meat [345], or [2228] he that serveth [1247]? is not [3780] he that sitteth at meat [345]? but [1161] I [1473] am [1510] among [1722] [3319] you [5216] as [5613] he that serveth [1247]. 42 22 28 [1161] Ye [5210] are [2075] they which have continued [1265] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] my [3450] temptations [3986]. 42 22 29 And I [2504] appoint [1303] unto you [5213] a kingdom [932], as [2531] my [3450] Father [3962] hath appointed [1303] unto me [3427]; 42 22 30 That [2443] ye may eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095] at [1909] my [3450] table [5132] in [1722] my [3450] kingdom [932], and [2532] sit [2523] on [1909] thrones [2362] judging [2919] the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of Israel [2474]. 42 22 31 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], Simon [4613], Simon [4613], behold [2400], Satan [4567] hath desired [1809] to have you [5209], that he may sift [4617] you as [5613] wheat [4621]: 42 22 32 But [1161] I [1473] have prayed [1189] for [4012] thee [4675], that [3363] thy [4675] faith [4102] fail [1587] not [3363]: and [2532] when [4218] thou [4771] art converted [1994], strengthen [4741] thy [4675] brethren [80]. 42 22 33 And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], I am [1510] ready [2092] to go [4198] with [3326] thee [4675], both [2532] into [1519] prison [5438], and [2532] to [1519] death [2288]. 42 22 34 And [1161] he said [2036], I tell [3004] thee [4671], Peter [4074], the cock [220] shall [5455] not [3364] crow [5455] this day [4594], before that [4250] thou shalt [2228] thrice [5151] deny [533] that thou [3361] knowest [1492] me [3165]. 42 22 35 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], When [3753] I sent [649] you [5209] without [817] purse [905], and [2532] scrip [4082], and [2532] shoes [5266], [3361] lacked ye [5302] any thing [5100]? And [1161] they said [2036], Nothing [3762]. 42 22 36 Then [3767] said he [2036] unto them [846], But [235] now [3568], he that hath [2192] a purse [905], let him take [142] it, and [2532] likewise [3668] his scrip [4082]: and [2532] he that hath [2192] no [3361] sword [3162], let him sell [4453] his [846] garment [2440], and [2532] buy [59] one. 42 22 37 For [1063] I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] this [5124] that is written [1125] must [1163] yet [2089] be accomplished [5055] in [1722] me [1698], And [2532] he was reckoned [3049] among [3326] the transgressors [459]: for [2532] [1063] the things concerning [4012] me [1700] have [2192] an end [5056]. 42 22 38 And [1161] they said [2036], Lord [2962], behold [2400], here [5602] are two [1417] swords [3162]. And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], It is [2076] enough [2425]. 42 22 39 And [2532] he came out [1831], and went [4198], as [2596] he was wont [1485], to [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636]; and [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] also [2532] followed [190] him [846]. 42 22 40 And [1161] when he was [1096] at [1909] the place [5117], he said [2036] unto them [846], Pray [4336] that ye enter [1525] not [3361] into [1519] temptation [3986]. 42 22 41 And [2532] he [846] was withdrawn [645] from [575] them [846] about [5616] a stone's [3037] cast [1000], and [2532] kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336], 42 22 42 Saying [3004], Father [3962], if [1487] thou be willing [1014], remove [3911] [3911] this [5124] cup [4221] from [575] me [1700]: nevertheless [4133] not [3361] my [3450] will [2307], but [235] thine [4674], be done [1096]. 42 22 43 And [1161] there appeared [3700] an angel [32] unto him [846] from [575] heaven [3772], strengthening [1765] him [846]. 42 22 44 And [2532] being [1096] in [1722] an agony [74] he prayed [4336] more earnestly [1617]: and [1161] his [846] sweat [2402] was [1096] as it were [5616] great drops [2361] of blood [129] falling down [2597] to [1909] the ground [1093]. 42 22 45 And [2532] when he rose up [450] from [575] prayer [4335], and was come [2064] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], he found [2147] them [846] sleeping [2837] for [575] sorrow [3077], 42 22 46 And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] sleep ye [2518]? rise [450] and pray [4336], lest [3363] ye enter [1525] into [1519] temptation [3986]. 42 22 47 And [1161] while he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], behold [2400] a multitude [3793], and [2532] he that was called [3004] Judas [2455], one [1520] of the twelve [1427], went before [4281] them [846], and [2532] drew near [1448] unto Jesus [2424] to kiss [5368] him [846]. 42 22 48 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Judas [2455], betrayest thou [3860] the Son [5207] of man [444] with a kiss [5370]? 42 22 49 When [1161] they which were about [4012] him [846] saw [1492] what would follow [2071], they said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], [1487] shall we smite [3960] with [1722] the sword [3162]? 42 22 50 And [2532] one [1520] [5100] of [1537] them [846] smote [3960] the servant [1401] of the high priest [749], and [2532] cut off [851] his [846] right [1188] ear [3775]. 42 22 51 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036], Suffer ye [1439] thus [5127] far [2193]. And [2532] he touched [680] his [846] ear [5621], and healed [2390] him [846]. 42 22 52 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto [4314] the chief priests [749], and [2532] captains [4755] of the temple [2411], and [2532] the elders [4245], which were come [3854] to [1909] him [846], Be ye come out [1831], as [5613] against [1909] a thief [3027], with [3326] swords [3162] and [2532] staves [3586]? 42 22 53 When [5607] I [3450] was [5607] daily [2250] [2596] with [3326] you [5216] in [1722] the temple [2411], ye stretched forth [1614] no [3756] hands [5495] against [1909] me [1691]: but [235] this [3778] is [2076] your [5216] hour [5610], and [2532] the power [1849] of darkness [4655]. 42 22 54 Then [1161] took they [4815] him [846], and led [71] him, and [2532] brought [1521] him [846] into [1519] the high priest's [749] house [3624]. And [1161] Peter [4074] followed [190] afar off [3113]. 42 22 55 And [1161] when they [846] had kindled [681] a fire [4442] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the hall [833], and [2532] were set down together [4776], Peter [4074] sat down [2521] among [3319] [1722] them [846]. 42 22 56 But [1161] a certain [5100] maid [3814] beheld [1492] him [846] as he sat [2521] by [4314] the fire [5457], and [2532] earnestly looked [816] upon him [846], and said [2036], This man [3778] was [2258] also [2532] with [4862] him [846]. 42 22 57 And [1161] he denied [720] him [846], saying [3004], Woman [1135], I know [1492] him [846] not [3756]. 42 22 58 And [2532] after [3326] a little while [1024] another [2087] saw [1492] him [846], and said [5346], Thou [4771] art [1488] also [2532] of [1537] them [846]. And [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Man [444], I am [1510] not [3756]. 42 22 59 And [2532] about [5616] the space [1339] of one [3391] hour [5610] after another [243] [5100] confidently affirmed [1340], saying [3004], Of [1909] a truth [225] this [3778] fellow also [2532] was [2258] with [3326] him [846]: for [1063] [2532] he is [2076] a Galilaean [1057]. 42 22 60 And [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Man [444], I know [1492] not [3756] what [3739] thou sayest [3004]. And [2532] immediately [3916], while he [846] yet [2089] spake [2980], the cock [220] crew [5455]. 42 22 61 And [2532] the Lord [2962] turned [4762], and looked upon [1689] Peter [4074]. And [2532] Peter [4074] remembered [5279] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], how [5613] he had said [2036] unto him [846], Before [3754] [4250] the cock [220] crow [5455], thou shalt deny [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. 42 22 62 And [2532] Peter [4074] went [1831] out [1854], and wept [2799] bitterly [4090]. 42 22 63 And [2532] the men [435] that held [4912] Jesus [2424] mocked [1702] him [846], and smote [1194] him. 42 22 64 And [2532] when they had blindfolded [4028] him [846], they struck [5180] him [846] on the face [4383], and [2532] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Prophesy [4395], who [5101] is it [2076] that smote [3817] thee [4571]? 42 22 65 And [2532] many [4183] other things [2087] blasphemously [987] spake they [3004] against [1519] him [846]. 42 22 66 And [2532] as soon as [5613] it was [1096] day [2250], the elders [4244] of the people [2992] and [5037] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] came together [4863], and [2532] led [321] him [846] into [1519] their [1438] council [4892], saying [3004], 42 22 67 [1487] Art [1488] thou [4771] the Christ [5547]? tell [2036] us [2254]. And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], If [1437] I tell [2036] you [5213], ye will [4100] not [3364] believe [4100]: 42 22 68 And [1161] if [1437] I also [2532] ask [2065] you, ye will [611] not [3364] answer [611] me [3427], nor [2228] let me go [630]. 42 22 69 Hereafter [3568] [575] shall [2071] the Son [5207] of man [444] sit [2521] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of the power [1411] of God [2316]. 42 22 70 Then [1161] said [5346] they all [3956], Art [1488] thou [4771] then [3767] the Son [5207] of God [2316]? And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye [5210] say [3004] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510]. 42 22 71 And [1161] they said [2036], What [5101] need [2192] we [5532] any further [2089] witness [3141]? for [1063] we ourselves [846] have heard [191] of [575] his own [846] mouth [4750]. 42 23 1 And [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of them [846] arose [450], and led [71] him [846] unto [1909] Pilate [4091]. 42 23 2 And [1161] they began [756] to accuse [2723] him [846], saying [3004], We found [2147] this [5126] fellow perverting [1294] the nation [1484], and [2532] forbidding [2967] to give [1325] tribute [5411] to Caesar [2541], saying [3004] that he himself [1438] is [1511] Christ [5547] a King [935]. 42 23 3 And [1161] Pilate [4091] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], Art [1488] thou [4771] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? And [1161] he answered [611] him [846] and said [5346], Thou [4771] sayest [3004] it. 42 23 4 Then [1161] said [2036] Pilate [4091] to [4314] the chief priests [749] and [2532] to the people [3793], I find [2147] no [3762] fault [158] in [1722] this [5129] man [444]. 42 23 5 And [1161] they were the more fierce [2001], saying [3004] [3754], He stirreth up [383] the people [2992], teaching [1321] throughout [2596] all [3650] Jewry [2449], beginning [756] from [575] Galilee [1056] to [2193] this place [5602]. 42 23 6 When [1161] Pilate [4091] heard [191] of Galilee [1056], he asked [1905] whether [1487] the man [444] were [2076] a Galilaean [1057]. 42 23 7 And [2532] as soon as he knew [1921] that [3754] he belonged [2076] unto [1537] Herod's [2264] jurisdiction [1849], he sent [375] him [846] to [4314] Herod [2264], who [5607] himself [846] also [2532] was [5607] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] that [5025] time [2250]. 42 23 8 And [1161] when Herod [2264] saw [1492] Jesus [2424], he was exceeding [3029] glad [5463]: for [1063] he was [2258] desirous [2309] to see [1492] him [846] of [1537] a long [2425] season, because [1223] he had heard [191] many things [4183] of [4012] him [846]; and [2532] he hoped [1679] to have seen [1492] some [5100] miracle [4592] done [1096] by [5259] him [846]. 42 23 9 Then [1161] he questioned [1905] with him [846] in [1722] many [2425] words [3056]; but [1161] he [846] answered [611] him [846] nothing [3762]. 42 23 10 And [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] stood [2476] and vehemently [2159] accused [2723] him [846]. 42 23 11 And [1161] Herod [2264] with [4862] his [846] men of war [4753] set [1848] him [846] at nought [1848], and [2532] mocked [1702] him, and arrayed [4016] him [846] in a gorgeous [2986] robe [2066], and sent [375] him [846] again [375] to Pilate [4091]. 42 23 12 And [1161] [3739] the same [1722] [846] day [2250] Pilate [4091] and [2532] Herod [2264] were made [1096] friends [5384] together [3326] [5037] [240]: for [1063] before [4391] they were [5607] at [1722] enmity [2189] between [4314] themselves [1438]. 42 23 13 And [1161] Pilate [4091], when he had called together [4779] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the rulers [758] and [2532] the people [2992], 42 23 14 Said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye have brought [4374] this [5129] man [444] unto me [3427], as [5613] one that perverteth [654] the people [2992]: and [2532], behold [2400], I [1473], having examined [350] him before [1799] you [5216], have found [2147] no [3762] fault [158] in [1722] this [5126] man [444] touching those things [3739] whereof [2596] ye accuse [2723] him [846]: 42 23 15 No [235], nor yet [3761] Herod [2264]: for [1063] I sent [375] you [5209] to [4314] him [846]; and [2532], lo [2400], nothing [3762] worthy [514] of death [2288] is [2076] done [4238] unto him [846]. 42 23 16 I will [3811] therefore [3767] chastise [3811] him [846], and release [630] him. 42 23 17 (For [1161] of necessity [318] he must [2192] release [630] one [1520] unto them [846] at [2596] the feast [1859].) 42 23 18 And [1161] they cried out [349] all at once [3826], saying [3004], Away with [142] this [5126] man, and [1161] release [630] unto us [2254] Barabbas [912]: 42 23 19 (Who [3748] for [2258] [1223] a certain [5100] sedition [4714] made [1096] in [1722] the city [4172], and [2532] for murder [5408], was cast [906] into [1519] prison [5438].) 42 23 20 Pilate [4091] therefore [3767], willing [2309] to release [630] Jesus [2424], spake [4377] again [3825] to them [4377]. 42 23 21 But [1161] they cried [2019], saying [3004], Crucify [4717] him, crucify [4717] him [846]. 42 23 22 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846] the third time [5154], Why [1063], what [5101] evil [2556] hath [4160] he [3778] done [4160]? I have found [2147] no [3762] cause [158] of death [2288] in [1722] him [846]: I will [3811] therefore [3767] chastise [3811] him [846], and let him go [630]. 42 23 23 And [1161] they were instant [1945] with loud [3173] voices [5456], requiring [154] that he [846] might be crucified [4717]. And [2532] the voices [5456] of them [846] and [2532] of the chief priests [749] prevailed [2729]. 42 23 24 And [1161] Pilate [4091] gave sentence [1948] that it should be as [1096] they [846] required [155]. 42 23 25 And [1161] he released [630] unto them [846] him that for [1223] sedition [4714] and [2532] murder [5408] was cast [906] into [1519] prison [5438], whom [3739] they had desired [154]; but [1161] he delivered [3860] Jesus [2424] to their [846] will [2307]. 42 23 26 And [2532] as [5613] they led [520] him [846] away [520], they laid hold upon [1949] one [5100] Simon [4613], a Cyrenian [2956], coming [2064] out of [575] the country [68], and on [2007] him [846] they laid [2007] the cross [4716], that he might bear [5342] it after [3693] Jesus [2424]. 42 23 27 And [1161] there followed [190] him [846] a great [4183] company [4128] of people [2992], and [2532] of women [1135], which [3739] also [2532] bewailed [2875] and [2532] lamented [2354] him [846]. 42 23 28 But [1161] Jesus [2424] turning [4762] unto [4314] them [846] said [2036], Daughters [2364] of Jerusalem [2419], weep [2799] not [3361] for [1909] me [1691], but [4133] weep [2799] for [1909] yourselves [1438], and [2532] for [1909] your [5216] children [5043]. 42 23 29 For [3754], behold [2400], the days [2250] are coming [2064], in [1722] the which [3739] they shall say [2046], Blessed [3107] are the barren [4723], and [2532] the wombs [2836] that [3739] never [3756] bare [1080], and [2532] the paps [3149] which [3739] never [3756] gave suck [2337]. 42 23 30 Then [5119] shall they begin [756] to say [3004] to the mountains [3735], Fall [4098] on [1909] us [2248]; and [2532] to the hills [1015], Cover [2572] us [2248]. 42 23 31 For [3754] if [1487] they do [4160] these things [5023] in [1722] a green [5200] tree [3586], what [5101] shall be done [1096] in [1722] the dry [3584]? 42 23 32 And [1161] there were also [2532] two [1417] other [2087], malefactors [2557], led [71] with [4862] him [846] to be put to death [337]. 42 23 33 And [2532] when [3753] they were come [565] to [1909] the place [5117], which [3588] is called [2564] Calvary [2898], there [1563] they crucified [4717] him [846], and [2532] the malefactors [2557], one [3739] [3303] on [1537] the right hand [1188], and [1161] the other [3739] on [1537] the left [710]. 42 23 34 Then [1161] said [3004] Jesus [2424], Father [3962], forgive [863] them [846]; for [1063] they know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] they do [4160]. And [1161] they parted [1266] his [846] raiment [2440], and cast [906] lots [2819]. 42 23 35 And [2532] the people [2992] stood [2476] beholding [2334]. And [1161] the rulers [758] also [2532] with [4862] them [846] derided [1592] him, saying [3004], He saved [4982] others [243]; let him save [4982] himself [1438], if [1487] he [3778] be [2076] Christ [5547], the chosen [1588] of God [2316]. 42 23 36 And [1161] the soldiers [4757] also [2532] mocked [1702] him [846], coming [4334] to him, and [2532] offering [4374] him [846] vinegar [3690], 42 23 37 And [2532] saying [3004], If [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] the king [935] of the Jews [2453], save [4982] thyself [4572]. 42 23 38 And [1161] a superscription [1923] also [2532] was [2258] written [1125] over [1909] him [846] in letters [1121] of Greek [1673], and [2532] Latin [4513], and [2532] Hebrew [1444], THIS [3778] IS [2076] THE KING [935] OF THE JEWS [2453]. 42 23 39 And [1161] one [1520] of the malefactors [2557] which were hanged [2910] railed [987] on him [846], saying [3004], If [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] Christ [5547], save [4982] thyself [4572] and [2532] us [2248]. 42 23 40 But [1161] the other [2087] answering [611] rebuked [2008] him [846], saying [3004], Dost [5399] not [3761] thou [4771] fear [5399] God [2316], seeing [3754] thou art [1488] in [1722] the same [846] condemnation [2917]? 42 23 41 And [2532] we [2249] indeed [3303] justly [1346]; for [1063] we receive [618] the due reward [514] of our [3739] deeds [4238]: but [1161] this man [3778] hath done [4238] nothing [3762] amiss [824]. 42 23 42 And [2532] he said [3004] unto Jesus [2424], Lord [2962], remember [3415] me [3450] when [3752] thou comest [2064] into [1722] thy [4675] kingdom [932]. 42 23 43 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], To day [4594] shalt thou be [2071] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] paradise [3857]. 42 23 44 And [1161] it was [2258] about [5616] the sixth [1623] hour [5610], and [2532] there was [1096] a darkness [4655] over [1909] all [3650] the earth [1093] until [2193] the ninth [1766] hour [5610]. 42 23 45 And [2532] the sun [2246] was darkened [4654], and [2532] the veil [2665] of the temple [3485] was rent [4977] in the midst [3319]. 42 23 46 And [2532] when Jesus [2424] had cried [5455] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], he said [2036], Father [3962], into [1519] thy [4675] hands [5495] I commend [3908] my [3450] spirit [4151]: and [2532] having said [2036] thus [5023], he gave up the ghost [1606]. 42 23 47 Now [1161] when the centurion [1543] saw [1492] what was done [1096], he glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], Certainly [3689] this [3778] was [2258] a righteous [1342] man [444]. 42 23 48 And [2532] all [3956] the people [3793] that came together [4836] to [1909] that [5026] sight [2335], beholding [2334] the things which were done [1096], smote [5180] their [1438] breasts [4738], and returned [5290]. 42 23 49 And [1161] all [3956] his [846] acquaintance [1110], and [2532] the women [1135] that followed [4870] him [846] from [575] Galilee [1056], stood [2476] afar off [3113], beholding [3708] these things [5023]. 42 23 50 And [2532], behold [2400], there was a man [435] named [3686] Joseph [2501], a counsellor [1010]; and he was a good [5225] [18] man [435], and [2532] a just [1342]: 42 23 51 (The same [3778] had [4784] not [3756] consented [4784] [2258] to the counsel [1012] and [2532] deed [4234] of them [846];) he was of [575] Arimathaea [707], a city [4172] of the Jews [2453]: [2532] who [3739] also [2532] himself [846] waited for [4327] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 42 23 52 This [3778] man went [4334] unto Pilate [4091], and begged [154] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424]. 42 23 53 And [2532] he took [2507] it [846] down [2507], and wrapped [1794] it [846] in linen [4616], and [2532] laid [5087] it [846] in [1722] a sepulchre [3418] that was hewn in stone [2991], wherein [3757] never [3756] man [3764] before [3762] was [2258] laid [2749]. 42 23 54 And [2532] that day [2250] was [2258] the preparation [3904], and [2532] the sabbath [4521] drew on [2020]. 42 23 55 And [1161] the women [1135] also [2532], which [3748] came [2258] [4905] with him [846] from [1537] Galilee [1056], followed after [2628], and beheld [2300] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] how [5613] his [846] body [4983] was laid [5087]. 42 23 56 And they returned [5290], and [1161] prepared [2090] spices [759] and [2532] ointments [3464]; and [2532] rested [2270] [3303] the sabbath day [4521] according [2596] to the commandment [1785]. 42 24 1 Now [1161] upon the first [3391] day of the week [4521], very early in the morning [3722] [901], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3418], bringing [5342] the spices [759] which [3739] they had prepared [2090], and [2532] certain [5100] others with [4862] them [846]. 42 24 2 And [1161] they found [2147] the stone [3037] rolled away [617] from [575] the sepulchre [3419]. 42 24 3 And [2532] they entered in [1525], and found [2147] not [3756] the body [4983] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 42 24 4 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] they [846] were much perplexed [1280] thereabout [4012] [5127], [2532] behold [2400], two [1417] men [435] stood by [2186] them [846] in [1722] shining [797] garments [2067]: 42 24 5 And [1161] as [1096] they [846] were [1096] afraid [1719], and [2532] bowed down [2827] their faces [4383] to [1519] the earth [1093], they said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Why [5101] seek ye [2212] the living [2198] among [3326] the dead [3498]? 42 24 6 He is [2076] not [3756] here [5602], but [235] is risen [1453]: remember [3415] how [5613] he spake [2980] unto you [5213] when he was [5607] yet [2089] in [1722] Galilee [1056], 42 24 7 Saying [3004], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] be delivered [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinful [268] men [444], and [2532] be crucified [4717], and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] rise again [450]. 42 24 8 And [2532] they remembered [3415] his [846] words [4487], 42 24 9 And [2532] returned [5290] from [575] the sepulchre [3419], and told [518] all [3956] these things [5023] unto the eleven [1733], and [2532] to all [3956] the rest [3062]. 42 24 10 [1161] It was [2258] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Joanna [2489], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother of James [2385], and [2532] other [3062] women that were with [4862] them [846], which [3739] told [3004] these things [5023] unto [4314] the apostles [652]. 42 24 11 And [2532] their [846] words [4487] seemed [5316] to [1799] them [846] as [5616] idle tales [3026], and [2532] they believed [569] them [846] not [569]. 42 24 12 Then [1161] arose [450] Peter [4074], and ran [5143] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3419]; and [2532] stooping down [3879], he beheld [991] the linen clothes [3608] laid [2749] by themselves [3441], and [2532] departed [565], wondering [2296] in [4314] himself [1438] at that which was come to pass [1096]. 42 24 13 And [2532], behold [2400], two [1417] of [1537] them [846] went [2258] [4198] that [1722] same [846] day [2250] to [1519] a village [2968] called [3739] [3686] Emmaus [1695], which was [568] from [575] Jerusalem [2419] about threescore [1835] furlongs [4712]. 42 24 14 And [2532] they [846] talked [3656] together [4314] [240] of [4012] all [3956] these things [5130] which had happened [4819]. 42 24 15 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], that, while [1722] they [846] communed [3656] together and [2532] reasoned [4802], Jesus [2424] himself [2532] [846] drew near [1448], and went with [4848] them [846]. 42 24 16 But [1161] their [846] eyes [3788] were holden [2902] that they should [1921] not [3361] know [1921] him [846]. 42 24 17 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], What [5101] manner of communications [3056] are these [3778] that [3739] ye have [474] one to [4314] another [240], as ye walk [4043], and [2532] are [2075] sad [4659]? 42 24 18 And [1161] the one of them [1520], whose [3739] name [3686] was Cleopas [2810], answering [611] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Art thou [4771] only [3441] a stranger [3939] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] hast [1097] not [3756] known [1097] the things which are come to pass [1096] there [1722] [846] in [1722] these [5025] days [2250]? 42 24 19 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], What things [4169]? And [1161] they said [2036] unto him [846], Concerning [4012] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], which [3739] was [1096] a prophet [4396] mighty [1415] in [1722] [435] deed [2041] and [2532] word [3056] before [1726] God [2316] and [2532] all [3956] the people [2992]: 42 24 20 And how [3704] [5037] the chief priests [749] and [2532] our [2257] rulers [758] delivered [3860] him [846] to [1519] be condemned [2917] to death [2288], and [2532] have crucified [4717] him [846]. 42 24 21 But [1161] we [2249] trusted [1679] that [3754] it had been [2076] he [846] which should [3195] have redeemed [3084] Israel [2474]: and [235] beside [1065] [4862] all [3956] this [5125], to day [4594] is [71] the [5026] third [5154] day [2250] since [575] [3739] these things [5023] were done [1096]. 42 24 22 Yea [235], and certain [5100] women [1135] also [2532] of [1537] our company [2257] made [1839] us [2248] astonished [1839], which were [1096] early [3721] at [1909] the sepulchre [3419]; 42 24 23 And [2532] when they found [2147] not [3361] his [846] body [4983], they came [2064], saying [3004], that they had [3708] also [2532] seen [3708] a vision [3701] of angels [32], which [3739] said [3004] that he [846] was alive [2198]. 42 24 24 And [2532] certain of them [5100] which were with [4862] us [2254] went [565] to [1909] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] found [2147] it even [2532] so [3779] as [2531] the women [1135] had said [2036]: but [1161] him [846] they saw [1492] not [3756]. 42 24 25 Then [2532] he [846] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], O [5599] fools [453], and [2532] slow [1021] of heart [2588] to believe [4100] [1909] all [3956] that [3739] the prophets [4396] have spoken [2980]: 42 24 26 Ought [1163] not [3780] Christ [5547] to have suffered [3958] these things [5023], and [2532] to enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] glory [1391]? 42 24 27 And [2532] beginning [756] at [575] Moses [3475] and [2532] [575] all [3956] the prophets [4396], he expounded [1329] unto them [846] in [1722] all [3956] the scriptures [1124] the things concerning [4012] himself [1438]. 42 24 28 And [2532] they drew nigh [1448] unto [1519] the village [2968], whither [3757] they went [4198]: and [2532] he [846] made as though [4364] he would have gone [4198] further [4208]. 42 24 29 But [2532] they constrained [3849] him [846], saying [3004], Abide [3306] with [3326] us [2257]: for [3754] it is [2076] toward [4314] evening [2073], and [2532] the day [2250] is far spent [2827]. And [2532] he went in [1525] to tarry [3306] with [4862] them [846]. 42 24 30 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], as [1722] he [846] sat at meat [2625] with [3326] them [846], he took [2983] bread [740], and blessed [2127] it, and [2532] brake [2806], and gave [1929] to them [846]. 42 24 31 And [1161] their [846] eyes [3788] were opened [1272], and [2532] they knew [1921] him [846]; and [2532] he [846] vanished [1096] [855] out of [575] their sight [846]. 42 24 32 And [2532] they said [2036] one to another [4314] [240], Did [2258] not [3780] our [2257] heart [2588] burn [2545] within [1722] us [2254], while [5613] he talked [2980] with us [2254] by [1722] the way [3598], and [2532] while [5613] he opened [1272] to us [2254] the scriptures [1124]? 42 24 33 And [2532] they rose up [450] the same [846] hour [5610], and returned [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] found [2147] the eleven [1733] gathered together [4867], and [2532] them that were with [4862] them [846], 42 24 34 Saying [3004], [3754] The Lord [2962] is risen [1453] indeed [3689], and [2532] hath appeared [3700] to Simon [4613]. 42 24 35 And [2532] they [846] told [1834] what things were done in [1722] the way [3598], and [2532] how [5613] he was known [1097] of them [846] in [1722] breaking [2800] of bread [740]. 42 24 36 And [1161] as they [846] thus [5023] spake [2980], Jesus [2424] himself [846] stood [2476] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Peace [1515] be unto you [5213]. 42 24 37 But [1161] they were terrified [4422] and [2532] affrighted [1719] [1096], and supposed [1380] that they had seen [2334] a spirit [4151]. 42 24 38 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Why [5101] are ye [2075] troubled [5015]? and [2532] why [1302] do thoughts [1261] arise [305] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]? 42 24 39 Behold [1492] my [3450] hands [5495] and [2532] my [3450] feet [4228], that [3754] it is [1510] I [1473] myself [846]: handle [5584] me [3165], and [2532] see [1492]; for [3754] a spirit [4151] hath [2192] not [3756] flesh [4561] and [2532] bones [3747], as [2531] ye see [2334] me [1691] have [2192]. 42 24 40 And [2532] when he had thus [5124] spoken [2036], he shewed [1925] them [846] his hands [5495] and [2532] his feet [4228]. 42 24 41 And [1161] while they [846] yet [2089] believed not [569] for [575] joy [5479], and [2532] wondered [2296], he said [2036] unto them [846], Have ye [2192] here [1759] any [5100] meat [1034]? 42 24 42 And [1161] they gave [1929] him [846] a piece [3313] of a broiled [3702] fish [2486], and [2532] of [575] an honeycomb [3193] [2781]. 42 24 43 And [2532] he took [2983] it, and did eat [5315] before [1799] them [846]. 42 24 44 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], These [3778] are the words [3056] which [3739] I spake [2980] unto [4314] you [5209], while [5607] I was yet [2089] with [4862] you [5213], that [3754] all things [3956] must [1163] be fulfilled [4137], which [3588] were written [1125] in [1722] the law [3551] of Moses [3475], and [2532] in the prophets [4396], and [2532] in the psalms [5568], concerning [4012] me [1700]. 42 24 45 Then [5119] opened he [1272] their [846] understanding [3563], that they might understand [4920] the scriptures [1124], 42 24 46 And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Thus [3754] [3779] it is written [1125], and [2532] thus [3779] it behoved [1163] Christ [5547] to suffer [3958], and [2532] to rise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498] the third [5154] day [2250]: 42 24 47 And [2532] that repentance [3341] and [2532] remission [859] of sins [266] should be preached [2784] in [1909] his [846] name [3686] among [1519] all [3956] nations [1484], beginning [756] at [575] Jerusalem [2419]. 42 24 48 And [1161] ye [5210] are [2075] witnesses [3144] of these things [5130]. 42 24 49 And [2532], behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] the promise [1860] of my [3450] Father [3962] upon [1909] you [5209]: but [1161] tarry [2523] ye [5210] in [1722] the city [4172] of Jerusalem [2419], until [2193] ye [3739] be endued [1746] with power [1411] from [1537] on high [5311]. 42 24 50 And [1161] he led [1806] them [846] out [1854] as far as [2193] to [1519] Bethany [963], and [2532] he lifted up [1869] his [846] hands [5495], and blessed [2127] them [846]. 42 24 51 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], while [1722] he [846] blessed [2127] them [846], he was parted [1339] from [575] them [846], and [2532] carried up [399] into [1519] heaven [3772]. 42 24 52 And [2532] they [846] worshipped [4352] him [846], and returned [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419] with [3326] great [3173] joy [5479]: 42 24 53 And [2532] were [2258] continually [1275] in [1722] the temple [2411], praising [134] and [2532] blessing [2127] God [2316]. Amen [281]. 43 1 1 In [1722] the beginning [746] was [2258] the Word [3056], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] with [4314] God [2316], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] God [2316]. 43 1 2 The same [3778] was [2258] in [1722] the beginning [746] with [4314] God [2316]. 43 1 3 All things [3956] were made [1096] by [1223] him [846]; and [2532] without [5565] him [846] was [1096] not [3761] any thing [1520] made [1096] that [3739] was made [1096]. 43 1 4 In [1722] him [846] was [2258] life [2222]; and [2532] the life [2222] was [2258] the light [5457] of men [444]. 43 1 5 And [2532] the light [5457] shineth [5316] in [1722] darkness [4653]; and [2532] the darkness [4653] comprehended [2638] it [846] not [3756]. 43 1 6 There was [1096] a man [444] sent [649] from [3844] God [2316], whose [846] name [3686] was John [2491]. 43 1 7 The same [3778] came [2064] for [1519] a witness [3141], to [2443] bear witness [3140] of [4012] the Light [5457], that [2443] all [3956] men through [1223] him [846] might believe [4100]. 43 1 8 He was [2258] not [3756] that [1565] Light [5457], but [235] was sent to [2443] bear witness [3140] of [4012] that Light [5457]. 43 1 9 That was [2258] the true [228] Light [5457], which [3739] lighteth [5461] every man [3956] [444] that cometh [2064] into [1519] the world [2889]. 43 1 10 He was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] the world [2889] was made [1096] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] the world [2889] knew [1097] him [846] not [3756]. 43 1 11 He came [2064] unto [1519] his own [2398], and [2532] his own [2398] received [3880] him [846] not [3756]. 43 1 12 But [1161] as many as [3745] received [2983] him [846], to them [846] gave he [1325] power [1849] to become [1096] the sons [5043] of God [2316], even to them that believe [4100] on [1519] his [846] name [3686]: 43 1 13 Which [3739] were born [1080], not [3756] of [1537] blood [129], nor [3761] of [1537] the will [2307] of the flesh [4561], nor [3761] of [1537] the will [2307] of man [435], but [235] of [1537] God [2316]. 43 1 14 And [2532] the Word [3056] was made [1096] flesh [4561], and [2532] dwelt [4637] among [1722] us [2254], (and [2532] we beheld [2300] his [846] glory [1391], the glory [1391] as [5613] of the only begotten [3439] of [3844] the Father [3962],) full [4134] of grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225]. 43 1 15 John [2491] bare witness [3140] of [4012] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896], saying [3004], This [3778] was he [2258] of whom [3739] I spake [2036], He that cometh [2064] after [3694] me [3450] is preferred [1096] before [1715] me [3450]: for [3754] he was [2258] before [4413] me [3450]. 43 1 16 And [2532] of [1537] his [846] fulness [4138] have [2983] all [3956] we [2249] received [2983], and [2532] grace [5485] for [473] grace [5485]. 43 1 17 For [3754] the law [3551] was given [1325] by [1223] Moses [3475], but grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225] came [1096] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 43 1 18 No man [3762] hath seen [3708] God [2316] at any time [4455]; the only begotten [3439] Son [5207], which [3588] is [5607] in [1519] the bosom [2859] of the Father [3962], he [1565] hath declared [1834] him. 43 1 19 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the record [3141] of John [2491], when [3753] the Jews [2453] sent [649] priests [2409] and [2532] Levites [3019] from [1537] Jerusalem [2414] to [2443] ask [2065] him [846], Who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771]? 43 1 20 And [2532] he confessed [3670], and [2532] denied [720] not [3756]; but [2532] confessed [3670], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] the Christ [5547]. 43 1 21 And [2532] they asked [2065] him [846], What [5101] then [3767]? Art [1488] thou [4771] Elias [2243]? And [2532] he saith [3004], I am [1510] not [3756]. Art [1488] thou [4771] that prophet [4396]? And [2532] he answered [611], No [3756]. 43 1 22 Then [3767] said they [2036] unto him [846], Who [5101] art thou [1488]? that [2443] we may give [1325] an answer [612] to them that sent [3992] us [2248]. What [5101] sayest thou [3004] of [4012] thyself [4572]? 43 1 23 He said [5346], I [1473] am the voice [5456] of one crying [994] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], Make straight [2116] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962], as [2531] said [2036] the prophet [4396] Esaias [2268]. 43 1 24 And [2532] they which [3588] were sent [649] were [2258] of [1537] the Pharisees [5330]. 43 1 25 And [2532] they asked [2065] him [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Why [5101] baptizest thou [907] then [3767], if [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] not [3756] that Christ [5547], nor [3777] Elias [2243], neither [3777] that prophet [4396]? 43 1 26 John [2491] answered [611] them [846], saying [3004], I [1473] baptize [907] with [1722] water [5204]: but [1161] there standeth one [2476] among [3319] you [5216], whom [3739] ye [5210] know [1492] not [3756]; 43 1 27 He [846] it is [2076], who [3739] coming [2064] after [3694] me [3450] is preferred [1096] before [1715] me [3450], whose [3739] [846] shoe's [5266] latchet [2438] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] worthy [514] to [2443] unloose [3089]. 43 1 28 These things [5023] were done [1096] in [1722] Bethabara [962] beyond [4008] Jordan [2446], where [3699] John [2491] was [2258] baptizing [907]. 43 1 29 The next day [1887] John [2491] seeth [991] Jesus [2424] coming [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316], which [3588] taketh away [142] the sin [266] of the world [2889]. 43 1 30 This [3778] is he [2076] of [4012] whom [3739] I [1473] said [2036], After [3694] me [3450] cometh [2064] a man [435] which [3739] is preferred [1096] before [1715] me [3450]: for [3754] he was [2258] before [4413] me [3450]. 43 1 31 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] that [2443] he should be made manifest [5319] to Israel [2474], therefore [1223] [5124] am [2064] I [1473] come [2064] baptizing [907] with [1722] water [5204]. 43 1 32 And [2532] John [2491] bare record [3140], saying [3004], [3754] I saw [2300] the Spirit [4151] descending [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] it abode [3306] upon [1909] him [846]. 43 1 33 And I [2504] knew [1492] him [846] not [3756]: but [235] he that sent [3992] me [3165] to baptize [907] with [1722] water [5204], the same [1565] said [2036] unto me [3427], Upon [1909] whom [3739] [302] thou shalt see [1492] the Spirit [4151] descending [2597], and [2532] remaining [3306] on [1909] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] he which baptizeth [907] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 43 1 34 And I [2504] saw [3708], and [2532] bare record [3140] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 43 1 35 Again [3825] the next day after [1887] John [2491] stood [2476], and [2532] two [1417] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101]; 43 1 36 And [2532] looking upon [1689] Jesus [2424] as he walked [4043], he saith [3004], Behold [2396] the Lamb [286] of God [2316]! 43 1 37 And [2532] the two [1417] disciples [3101] heard [191] him [846] speak [2980], and [2532] they followed [190] Jesus [2424]. 43 1 38 Then [1161] Jesus [2424] turned [4762], and [2532] saw [2300] them [846] following [190], and saith [3004] unto them [846], What [5101] seek ye [2212]? [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], (which [3739] is to say [3004], being interpreted [2059], Master [1320],) where [4226] dwellest thou [3306]? 43 1 39 He saith [3004] unto them [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492]. They came [2064] and [2532] saw [1492] where [4226] he dwelt [3306], and [2532] abode [3306] with [3844] him [846] that [1565] day [2250]: for [1161] it was [2258] about [5613] the tenth [1182] hour [5610]. 43 1 40 One [1520] of [1537] the two [1417] which [3588] heard [191] [3844] John [2491] speak, and [2532] followed [190] him [846], was [2258] Andrew [406], Simon [4613] Peter's [4074] brother [80]. 43 1 41 He [3778] first [4413] findeth [2147] his own [2398] brother [80] Simon [4613], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] the Messias [3323], which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], the Christ [5547]. 43 1 42 And [2532] he brought [71] him [846] to [4314] Jesus [2424]. And [1161] when Jesus [2424] beheld [1689] him [846], he said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] Simon [4613] the son [5207] of Jona [2495]: thou [4771] shalt be called [2564] Cephas [2786], which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], A stone [4074]. 43 1 43 The day following [1887] Jesus [2424] would [2309] go forth [1831] into [1519] Galilee [1056], and [2532] findeth [2147] Philip [5376], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. 43 1 44 Now [1161] Philip [5376] was [2258] of [575] Bethsaida [966], the city [4172] of [1537] Andrew [406] and [2532] Peter [4074]. 43 1 45 Philip [5376] findeth [2147] Nathanael [3482], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] him, of whom [3739] Moses [3475] in [1722] the law [3551], and [2532] the prophets [4396], did write [1125], Jesus [2424] of [575] Nazareth [3478], the son [5207] of Joseph [2501]. 43 1 46 And [2532] Nathanael [3482] said [2036] unto him [846], Can [1410] there any [5100] good thing [18] come [1511] out of [1537] Nazareth [3478]? Philip [5376] saith [3004] unto him [846], Come [2064] and [2532] see [1492]. 43 1 47 Jesus [2424] saw [1492] Nathanael [3482] coming [2064] to [4314] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004] of [4012] him [846], Behold [2396] an Israelite [2475] indeed [230], in [1722] whom [3739] is [2076] no [3756] guile [1388]! 43 1 48 Nathanael [3482] saith [3004] unto him [846], Whence [4159] knowest thou [1097] me [3165]? Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Before [4253] that Philip [5376] called [5455] thee [4571], when thou wast [5607] under [5259] the fig tree [4808], I saw [1492] thee [4571]. 43 1 49 Nathanael [3482] answered [611] and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], thou [4771] art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316]; thou [4771] art [1488] the King [935] of Israel [2474]. 43 1 50 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Because [3754] I said [2036] unto thee [4671], I saw [1492] thee [4571] under [5270] the fig tree [4808], believest thou [4100]? thou shalt see [3700] greater things [3187] than these [5130]. 43 1 51 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] ye shall see [3700] heaven [3772] open [455], and [2532] the angels [32] of God [2316] ascending [305] and [2532] descending [2597] upon [1909] the Son [5207] of man [444]. 43 2 1 And [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] there was [1096] a marriage [1062] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056]; and [2532] the mother [3384] of Jesus [2424] was [2258] there [1563]: 43 2 2 And [1161] both [2532] Jesus [2424] was called [2564], and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101], to [1519] the marriage [1062]. 43 2 3 And [2532] when they wanted [5302] wine [3631], the mother [3384] of Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto [4314] him [846], They have [2192] no [3756] wine [3631]. 43 2 4 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Woman [1135], what [5101] have I [1698] to do with [2532] thee [4671]? mine [3450] hour [5610] is [2240] not yet [3768] come [2240]. 43 2 5 His [846] mother [3384] saith [3004] unto the servants [1249], Whatsoever [3748] [302] he saith [3004] unto you [5213], do [4160] it. 43 2 6 And [1161] there were [2258] set [2749] there [1563] six [1803] waterpots [5201] of stone [3035], after [2596] the manner of the purifying [2512] of the Jews [2453], containing [5562] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] firkins [3355] apiece [303]. 43 2 7 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Fill [1072] the waterpots [5201] with water [5204]. And [2532] they filled [1072] them [846] up [1072] to [2193] the brim [507]. 43 2 8 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Draw out [501] now [3568], and [2532] bear [5342] unto the governor of the feast [755]. And [2532] they bare [5342] it. 43 2 9 [1161] When [5613] the ruler of the feast [755] had tasted [1089] the water [5204] that was made [1096] wine [3631], and [2532] knew [1492] not [3756] whence [4159] it was [2076]: (but [1161] the servants [1249] which [3588] drew [501] the water [5204] knew [1492] the governor of the feast [755] called [5455] the bridegroom [3566], 43 2 10 And [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Every [3956] man [444] at the beginning [4412] doth set forth [5087] good [2570] wine [3631]; and [2532] when [3752] men have well drunk [3184], then [5119] that which is worse [1640]: but thou [4771] hast kept [5083] the good [2570] wine [3631] until [2193] now [737]. 43 2 11 This [5026] beginning [746] of miracles [4592] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] manifested forth [5319] his [846] glory [1391]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846]. 43 2 12 After [3326] this [5124] he went down [2597] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], he [846], and [2532] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] brethren [80], and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]: and [2532] they continued [3306] there [1563] not [3756] many [4183] days [2250]. 43 2 13 And [2532] the Jews [2453]' passover [3957] was [2258] at hand [1451], and [2532] Jesus [2424] went up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], 43 2 14 And [2532] found [2147] in [1722] the temple [2411] those that sold [4453] oxen [1016] and [2532] sheep [4263] and [2532] doves [4058], and [2532] the changers of money [2773] sitting [2521]: 43 2 15 And [2532] when he had made [4160] a scourge [5416] of [1537] small cords [4979], he drove [1544] them all [3956] out of [1537] the temple [2411], and [5037] the sheep [4263], and [2532] the oxen [1016]; and [2532] poured out [1632] the changers [2855]' money [2772], and [2532] overthrew [390] the tables [5132]; 43 2 16 And [2532] said [2036] unto them that sold [4453] doves [4058], Take [142] these things [5023] hence [1782]; make [4160] not [3361] my [3450] Father's [3962] house [3624] an house [3624] of merchandise [1712]. 43 2 17 And [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] remembered [3415] that [3754] it was [2076] written [1125], The zeal [2205] of thine [4675] house [3624] hath eaten [2719] me [3165] up [2719]. 43 2 18 Then [3767] answered [611] the Jews [2453] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], What [5101] sign [4592] shewest thou [1166] unto us [2254], seeing that [3754] thou doest [4160] these things [5023]? 43 2 19 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Destroy [3089] this [5126] temple [3485], and [2532] in [1722] three [5140] days [2250] I will raise [1453] it [846] up [1453]. 43 2 20 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453], Forty [5062] and [2532] six [1803] years [2094] was [3618] this [3778] temple [3485] in building [3618], and [2532] wilt [1453] thou [4771] rear [1453] it [846] up [1453] in [1722] three [5140] days [2250]? 43 2 21 But [1161] he [1565] spake [3004] of [4012] the temple [3485] of his [846] body [4983]. 43 2 22 When [3753] therefore [3767] he was risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], his [846] disciples [3101] remembered [3415] that [3754] he had said [3004] this [5124] unto them [846]; and [2532] they believed [4100] the scripture [1124], and [2532] the word [3056] which [3739] Jesus [2424] had said [2036]. 43 2 23 Now [1161] when [5613] he was [2258] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] the passover [3957], in [1722] the feast [1859] day, many [4183] believed [4100] in [1519] his [846] name [3686], when they saw [2334] the miracles [846] [4592] which [3739] he did [4160]. 43 2 24 But [1161] Jesus [2424] [846] did [4100] not [3756] commit [4100] himself [1438] unto them [846], because [1223] he [846] knew [1097] all [3956] men, 43 2 25 And [2532] [3754] needed [5532] [2192] not [3756] that [2443] any [5100] should testify [3140] of [4012] man [444]: for [1063] he [846] knew [1097] what [5101] was [2258] in [1722] man [444]. 43 3 1 [1161] There was [2258] a man [444] of [1537] the Pharisees [5330], named [3686] [846] Nicodemus [3530], a ruler [758] of the Jews [2453]: 43 3 2 The same [3778] came [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424] by night [3571], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], we know [1492] that [3754] thou art [2064] a teacher [1320] come [2064] from [575] God [2316]: for [1063] no man [3762] can [1410] do [4160] these [5023] miracles [4592] that [3739] thou [4771] doest [4160], except [3362] God [2316] be [5600] with [3326] him [846]. 43 3 3 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Except [3362] a man [5100] be born [1080] again [509], he cannot [1410] [3756] see [1492] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 43 3 4 Nicodemus [3530] saith [3004] unto [4314] him [846], How [4459] can [1410] a man [444] be born [1080] when he is [5607] old [1088]? can [3361] [1410] he enter [1525] the second time [1208] into [1519] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836], and [2532] be born [1080]? 43 3 5 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Except [3362] a man [5100] be born [1080] of [1537] water [5204] and [2532] of the Spirit [4151], he cannot [3756] [1410] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 43 3 6 That which is born [1080] of [1537] the flesh [4561] is [2076] flesh [4561]; and [2532] that which is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151] is [2076] spirit [4151]. 43 3 7 Marvel [2296] not [3361] that [3754] I said [2036] unto thee [4671], Ye [5209] must [1163] be born [1080] again [509]. 43 3 8 The wind [4151] bloweth [4154] where [3699] it listeth [2309], and [2532] thou hearest [191] the sound [5456] thereof [846], but [235] canst [1492] not [3756] tell [1492] whence [4159] it cometh [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] it goeth [5217]: so [3779] is [2076] every one [3956] that is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151]. 43 3 9 Nicodemus [3530] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], How [4459] can [1410] these things [5023] be [1096]? 43 3 10 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] a master [1320] of Israel [2474], and [2532] knowest [1097] not [3756] these things [5023]? 43 3 11 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], We speak [2980] that [3754] [3739] we do know [1492], and [2532] testify [3140] that [3739] we have seen [3708]; and [2532] ye receive [2983] not [3756] our [2257] witness [3141]. 43 3 12 If [1487] I have told [2036] you [5213] earthly things [1919], and [2532] ye believe [4100] not [3756], how [4459] shall ye believe [4100], if [1437] I tell [2036] you [5213] of heavenly things [2032]? 43 3 13 And [2532] no man [3762] hath ascended up [305] to [1519] heaven [3772], but [1508] he that came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], even the Son [5207] of man [444] which [3588] is [5607] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 43 3 14 And [2532] as [2531] Moses [3475] lifted up [5312] the serpent [3789] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], even so [3779] must [1163] the Son [5207] of man [444] be lifted up [5312]: 43 3 15 That [3363] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3363] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]. 43 3 16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]. 43 3 17 For [1063] God [2316] sent [649] not [3756] his [846] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889] to [2443] condemn [2919] the world [2889]; but [235] that [2443] the world [2889] through [1223] him [846] might be saved [4982]. 43 3 18 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] him [846] is [2919] not [3756] condemned [2919]: but [1161] he that believeth [4100] not [3361] is condemned [2919] already [2235], because [3754] he hath [4100] not [3361] believed [4100] in [1519] the name [3686] of the only begotten [3439] Son [5207] of God [2316]. 43 3 19 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] the condemnation [2920], that [3754] light [5457] is come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] men [444] loved [25] darkness [4655] rather [3123] than [2228] light [5457], because [1063] their [846] deeds [2041] were [2258] evil [4190]. 43 3 20 For [1063] every one [3956] that doeth [4238] evil [5337] hateth [3404] the light [5457], neither [2532] [3756] cometh [2064] to [4314] the light [5457], lest [3363] his [846] deeds [2041] should be reproved [1651]. 43 3 21 But [1161] he that doeth [4160] truth [225] cometh [2064] to [4314] the light [5457], that [2443] his [846] deeds [2041] may be made manifest [5319], that [3754] they are [2076] wrought [2038] in [1722] God [2316]. 43 3 22 After [3326] these things [5023] came [2064] Jesus [2424] and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] into [1519] the land [1093] of Judaea [2449]; and [2532] there [1563] he tarried [1304] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] baptized [907]. 43 3 23 And [1161] John [2491] also [2532] was [2258] baptizing [907] in [1722] Aenon [137] near [1451] to Salim [4530], because [3754] there was [2258] much [4183] water [5204] there [1563]: and [2532] they came [3854], and [2532] were baptized [907]. 43 3 24 For [1063] John [2491] was [2258] not yet [3768] cast [906] into [1519] prison [5438]. 43 3 25 Then [3767] there arose [1096] a question [2214] between [3326] some of [1537] John's [2491] disciples [3101] and the Jews [2453] about [4012] purifying [2512]. 43 3 26 And [2532] they came [2064] unto [4314] John [2491], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], he [3739] that was [2258] with [3326] thee [4675] beyond [4008] Jordan [2446], to whom [3739] thou [4771] barest witness [3140], behold [2396], the same [3778] baptizeth [907], and [2532] all [3956] men come [2064] to [4314] him [846]. 43 3 27 John [2491] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], A man [444] can [1410] [3756] receive [2983] nothing [3762], except [3362] it be [5600] given [1325] him [846] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 43 3 28 Ye [5210] yourselves [846] bear [3140] me [3427] witness [3140], that [3754] I said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] the Christ [5547], but [235] that [3754] I am [1510] sent [649] before [1715] him [1565]. 43 3 29 He that hath [2192] the bride [3565] is [2076] the bridegroom [3566]: but [1161] the friend [5384] of the bridegroom [3566], which [3588] standeth [2476] and [2532] heareth [191] him [846], rejoiceth [5463] greatly [5479] because [1223] of the bridegroom's [3566] voice [5456]: this [3778] my [1699] joy [5479] therefore [3767] is fulfilled [4137]. 43 3 30 He [1565] must [1163] increase [837], but [1161] I [1691] must decrease [1642]. 43 3 31 He that cometh [2064] from above [509] is [2076] above [1883] all [3956]: he that is [5607] of [1537] the earth [1093] is [2076] earthly [1537] [1093], and [2532] speaketh [2980] of [1537] the earth [1093]: he that cometh [2064] from [1537] heaven [3772] is [2076] above [1883] all [3956]. 43 3 32 And [2532] what [3739] he hath seen [3708] and [2532] heard [191], that [5124] he testifieth [3140]; and [2532] no man [3762] receiveth [2983] his [846] testimony [3141]. 43 3 33 He that hath received [2983] his [846] testimony [3141] hath set to his seal [4972] that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] true [227]. 43 3 34 For [1063] he whom [3739] God [2316] hath sent [649] speaketh [2980] the words [4487] of God [2316]: for [1063] God [2316] giveth [1325] not [3756] the Spirit [4151] by [1537] measure [3358] unto him. 43 3 35 The Father [3962] loveth [25] the Son [5207], and [2532] hath given [1325] all things [3956] into [1722] his [846] hand [5495]. 43 3 36 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846]. 43 4 1 When [5613] therefore [3767] the Lord [2962] knew [1097] how [3754] the Pharisees [5330] had heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] made [4160] and [2532] baptized [907] more [4119] disciples [3101] than [2228] John [2491], 43 4 2 (Though [2544] Jesus [2424] himself [846] baptized [907] not [3756], but [235] his [846] disciples [3101],) 43 4 3 He left [863] Judaea [2449], and [2532] departed [565] again [3825] into [1519] Galilee [1056]. 43 4 4 And [1161] he must needs [1163] go [1330] through [1223] Samaria [4540]. 43 4 5 Then [3767] cometh he [2064] to [1519] a city [4172] of Samaria [4540], which is called [3004] Sychar [4965], near [4139] to the parcel of ground [5564] that [3739] Jacob [2384] gave [1325] to his [846] son [5207] Joseph [2501]. 43 4 6 Now [1161] Jacob's [2384] well [4077] was [2258] there [1563]. Jesus [2424] therefore [3767], being wearied [2872] with [1537] his journey [3597], sat [2516] thus [3779] on [1909] the well [4077]: and it was [2258] about [5616] the sixth [1623] hour [5610]. 43 4 7 There cometh [2064] a woman [1135] of [1537] Samaria [4540] to draw [501] water [5204]: Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Give [1325] me [3427] to drink [4095]. 43 4 8 (For [1063] his [846] disciples [3101] were gone away [565] unto [1519] the city [4172] to [2443] buy [59] meat [5160].) 43 4 9 Then [3767] saith [3004] the woman [1135] of Samaria [4542] unto him [846], How is it that [4459] thou [4771], being [5607] a Jew [2453], askest [154] drink [4095] of [3844] me [1700], which am [5607] a woman [1135] of Samaria [4542]? for [1063] the Jews [2453] have [4798] no [3756] dealings [4798] with the Samaritans [4541]. 43 4 10 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], If [1487] thou knewest [1492] the gift [1431] of God [2316], and [2532] who [5101] it is [2076] that saith [3004] to thee [4671], Give [1325] me [3427] to drink [4095]; thou [4771] wouldest [302] have asked [154] of him [846], and [2532] he would [302] have given [1325] thee [4671] living [2198] water [5204]. 43 4 11 The woman [1135] saith [3004] unto him [846], Sir [2962], thou hast [2192] nothing [3777] to draw with [502], and [2532] the well [5421] is [2076] deep [901]: from whence [4159] then [3767] hast thou [2192] that living [2198] water [5204]? 43 4 12 [3361] Art [1488] thou [4771] greater [3187] than our [2257] father [3962] Jacob [2384], which [3739] gave [1325] us [2254] the well [5421], and [2532] drank [4095] thereof [1537] [846] himself [846], and [2532] his [846] children [5207], and [2532] his [846] cattle [2353]? 43 4 13 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], Whosoever [3956] drinketh [4095] of [1537] this [5127] water [5204] shall thirst [1372] again [3825]: 43 4 14 But [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] drinketh [4095] of [1537] the water [5204] that [3739] I [1473] shall give [1325] him [846] shall [1372] never [1519] [165] [3364] thirst [1372]; but [235] the water [5204] that [3739] I shall give [1325] him [846] shall be [1096] in [1722] him [846] a well [4077] of water [5204] springing up [242] into [1519] everlasting [166] life [2222]. 43 4 15 The woman [1135] saith [3004] unto [4314] him [846], Sir [2962], give [1325] me [3427] this [5124] water [5204], that [3363] I thirst [1372] not [3363], neither [3366] come [2064] hither [1759] to draw [501]. 43 4 16 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Go [5217], call [5455] thy [4675] husband [435], and [2532] come [2064] hither [1759]. 43 4 17 The woman [1135] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], I have [2192] no [3756] husband [435]. Jesus [2424] said [3004] unto her [846], Thou hast [2036] well [2573] said [2036], [3754] I have [2192] no [3756] husband [435]: 43 4 18 For [1063] thou hast had [2192] five [4002] husbands [435]; and [2532] he whom [3739] thou [2192] now [3568] hast [2192] is [2076] not [3756] thy [4675] husband [435]: in that [5124] saidst thou [2046] truly [227]. 43 4 19 The woman [1135] saith [3004] unto him [846], Sir [2962], I perceive [2334] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] a prophet [4396]. 43 4 20 Our [2257] fathers [3962] worshipped [4352] in [1722] this [5129] mountain [3735]; and [2532] ye [5210] say [3004], that [3754] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414] is [2076] the place [5117] where [3699] men ought [1163] to worship [4352]. 43 4 21 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Woman [1135], believe [4100] me [3427], the hour [5610] cometh [3754] [2064], when [3753] ye shall [4352] neither [3777] in [1722] this [5129] mountain [3735], nor yet [3777] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414], worship [4352] the Father [3962]. 43 4 22 Ye [5210] worship [4352] ye know [1492] not [3756] what [3739]: we know [1492] what [3739] we [2249] worship [4352]: for [3754] salvation [4991] is [2076] of [1537] the Jews [2453]. 43 4 23 But [235] the hour [5610] cometh [2064], and [2532] now [3568] is [2076], when [3753] the true [228] worshippers [4353] shall worship [4352] the Father [3962] in [1722] spirit [4151] and [2532] in truth [225]: for [2532] [1063] the Father [3962] seeketh [2212] such [5108] to worship [4352] him [846]. 43 4 24 God [2316] is a Spirit [4151]: and [2532] they that worship [4352] him [846] must [1163] worship [4352] him in [1722] spirit [4151] and [2532] in truth [225]. 43 4 25 The woman [1135] saith [3004] unto him [846], I know [1492] that [3754] Messias [3323] cometh [2064], which [3588] is called [3004] Christ [5547]: when [3752] he [1565] is come [2064], he will tell [312] us [2254] all things [3956]. 43 4 26 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], I [1473] that speak [2980] unto thee [4671] am [1510] he. 43 4 27 And [2532] upon [1909] this [5129] came [2064] his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] marvelled [2296] that [3754] he talked [2980] with [3326] the woman [1135]: yet [3305] no man [3762] said [2036], What [5101] seekest thou [2212]? or [2228], Why [5101] talkest thou [2980] with [3326] her [846]? 43 4 28 The woman [1135] then [3767] left [863] her [846] waterpot [5201], and [2532] went her way [565] into [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] saith [3004] to the men [444], 43 4 29 Come [1205], see [1492] a man [444], which [3739] told [2036] me [3427] all things [3956] that ever [3745] I did [4160]: is [2076] not [3385] this [3778] the Christ [5547]? 43 4 30 Then [3767] they went [1831] out of [1537] the city [4172], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] him [846]. 43 4 31 [1161] In [1722] the mean [3342] while his disciples [3101] prayed [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Master [4461], eat [5315]. 43 4 32 But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], I [1473] have [2192] meat [1035] to eat [5315] that [3739] ye [5210] know [1492] not [3756] of [1492]. 43 4 33 Therefore [3767] said [3004] the disciples [3101] one to another [4314] [240], Hath [5342] any man [3387] brought [5342] him [846] ought to eat [5315]? 43 4 34 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], My [1699] meat [1033] is [2076] to [2443] do [4160] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165], and [2532] to finish [5048] his [846] work [2041]. 43 4 35 Say [3004] not [3756] ye [5210], There [3754] are [2076] yet [2089] four months [5072], and [2532] then cometh [2064] harvest [2326]? behold [2400], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Lift up [1869] your [5216] eyes [3788], and [2532] look on [2300] the fields [5561]; for [3754] they are [1526] white [3022] already [2235] to [4314] harvest [2326]. 43 4 36 And [2532] he that reapeth [2325] receiveth [2983] wages [3408], and [2532] gathereth [4863] fruit [2590] unto [1519] life [2222] eternal [166]: that [2443] both [2532] he that soweth [4687] and [2532] he that reapeth [2325] may rejoice [5463] together [3674]. 43 4 37 And [1063] herein [1722] [5129] is [2076] that saying [3056] true [228], [3754] One [243] soweth [2076] [4687], and [2532] another [243] reapeth [2325]. 43 4 38 I [1473] sent [649] you [5209] to reap [2325] that whereon [3739] ye [5210] bestowed [2872] no [3756] labour [2872]: other men [243] laboured [2872], and [2532] ye [5210] are entered [1525] into [1519] their [846] labours [2873]. 43 4 39 And [1161] many [4183] of the Samaritans [4541] of [1537] that [1565] city [4172] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846] for [1223] the saying [3056] of the woman [1135], which testified [3140], [3754] He told [2036] me [3427] all [3956] that ever [3745] I did [4160]. 43 4 40 So [3767] when [5613] the Samaritans [4541] were come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], they besought [2065] him [846] that he would tarry [3306] with [3844] them [846]: and [2532] he abode [3306] there [1563] two [1417] days [2250]. 43 4 41 And [2532] many [4183] more [4119] believed [4100] because [1223] of his own [846] word [3056]; 43 4 42 And [5037] said [3004] unto the woman [1135], [3754] Now [3765] we believe [4100], not [3754] because [1223] of thy [4674] saying [2981]: for [1063] we have heard [191] him ourselves [846], and [2532] know [1492] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] indeed [230] the Christ [5547], the Saviour [4990] of the world [2889]. 43 4 43 Now [1161] after [3326] two [1417] days [2250] he departed [565] [1831] thence [1564], and [2532] went into [1519] Galilee [1056]. 43 4 44 For [1063] Jesus [2424] himself [846] testified [3140], that [3754] a prophet [4396] hath [2192] no [3756] honour [5092] in [1722] his own [2398] country [3968]. 43 4 45 Then [3767] when [3753] he was come [2064] into [1519] Galilee [1056], the Galilaeans [1057] received [1209] him [846], having seen [3708] all the things [3956] that [3739] he did [4160] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] the feast [1859]: for [1063] they [846] also [2532] went [2064] unto [1519] the feast [1859]. 43 4 46 So [3767] Jesus [2424] came [2064] again [3825] into [1519] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], where [3699] he made [4160] the water [5204] wine [3631]. And [2532] there was [2258] a certain [5100] nobleman [937], whose [3739] son [5207] was sick [770] at [1722] Capernaum [2584]. 43 4 47 When he [3778] heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was come [2240] out of [1537] Judaea [2449] into [1519] Galilee [1056], he went [565] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] besought [2065] him [846] that [2443] he would come down [2597], and [2532] heal [2390] his [846] son [5207]: for [1063] he was at the point [3195] of death [599]. 43 4 48 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto [4314] him [846], Except [3362] ye see [1492] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059], ye will [4100] not [3364] believe [4100]. 43 4 49 The nobleman [937] saith [3004] unto [4314] him [846], Sir [2962], come down [2597] ere [4250] my [3450] child [3813] die [599]. 43 4 50 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Go thy way [4198]; thy [4675] son [5207] liveth [2198]. And [2532] the man [444] believed [4100] the word [3056] that [3739] Jesus [2424] had spoken [2036] unto him [846], and [2532] he went his way [4198]. 43 4 51 And [1161] as he [846] was now [2235] going down [2597], his [846] servants [1401] met [528] him [846], and [2532] told [518] him, saying [3004], [3754] Thy [4675] son [3816] liveth [2198]. 43 4 52 Then [3767] enquired he [4441] of [3844] them [846] the hour [5610] when [1722] [3739] he began [2192] to amend [2866]. And [2532] they said [2036] unto him [846], [3754] Yesterday [5504] at the seventh [1442] hour [5610] the fever [4446] left [863] him [846]. 43 4 53 So [3767] the father [3962] knew [1097] that [3754] it was at [1722] the same [1565] hour [5610], in [1722] the which [3739] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], [3754] Thy [4675] son [5207] liveth [2198]: and [2532] himself [846] believed [4100], and [2532] his [846] whole [3650] house [3614]. 43 4 54 This [5124] is again [3825] the second [1208] miracle [4592] that Jesus [2424] did [4160], when he was come out [2064] of [1537] Judaea [2449] into [1519] Galilee [1056]. 43 5 1 After [3326] this [5023] there was [2258] a feast [1859] of the Jews [2453]; and [2532] Jesus [2424] went up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]. 43 5 2 Now [1161] there is [2076] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] by [1909] the sheep [4262] market a pool [2861], which [3588] is called [1951] in the Hebrew tongue [1447] Bethesda [964], having [2192] five [4002] porches [4745]. 43 5 3 In [1722] these [5025] lay [2621] a great [4183] multitude [4128] of impotent folk [770], of blind [5185], halt [5560], withered [3584], waiting for [1551] the moving [2796] of the water [5204]. 43 5 4 For [1063] an angel [32] went down [2597] at [2596] a certain season [2540] into [1722] the pool [2861], and [2532] troubled [5015] the water [5204]: whosoever then [3767] first [4413] after [3326] the troubling [5016] of the water [5204] stepped in [1684] was made [1096] whole [5199] of [3739] whatsoever [1221] disease [3553] he had [2722]. 43 5 5 And [1161] a certain [5100] man [444] was [2258] there [1563], which had [2192] an infirmity [1722] [769] thirty [5144] and eight [3638] years [2094]. 43 5 6 When Jesus [2424] saw [1492] him [5126] lie [2621], and [2532] knew [1097] that [3754] he had been [2192] now [2235] a long [4183] time [5550] in that case, he saith [3004] unto him [846], Wilt thou [2309] be made [1096] whole [5199]? 43 5 7 The impotent man [770] answered [611] him [846], Sir [2962], I have [2192] no [3756] man [444], when [3752] the water [5204] is troubled [5015], to [2443] put [906] me [3165] into [1519] the pool [2861]: but [1161] while [1722] [3739] I [1473] am coming [2064], another [243] steppeth down [2597] before [4253] me [1700]. 43 5 8 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Rise [1453], take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]. 43 5 9 And [2532] immediately [2112] the man [444] was made [1096] whole [5199], and [2532] took up [142] his [846] bed [2895], and [2532] walked [4043]: and [1161] on [1722] the same [1565] day [2250] was [2258] the sabbath [4521]. 43 5 10 The Jews [2453] therefore [3767] said [3004] unto him that was cured [2323], It is [2076] the sabbath day [4521]: it is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for thee [4671] to carry [142] thy bed [2895]. 43 5 11 He answered [611] them [846], He that made [4160] me [3165] whole [5199], the same [1565] said [2036] unto me [3427], Take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]. 43 5 12 Then [3767] asked they [2065] him [846], What [5101] man [444] is [2076] that which [3588] said [2036] unto thee [4671], Take up [142] thy [4675] bed [2895], and [2532] walk [4043]? 43 5 13 And [1161] he that was healed [2390] wist [1492] not [3756] who [5101] it was [2076]: for [1063] Jesus [2424] had conveyed himself away [1593], a multitude [3793] being [5607] in [1722] that place [5117]. 43 5 14 Afterward [3326] [5023] Jesus [2424] findeth [2147] him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2396], thou art made [1096] whole [5199]: sin [264] no more [3371], lest [3363] a worse thing [5501] [5100] come [1096] unto thee [4671]. 43 5 15 The man [444] departed [565], and [2532] told [312] the Jews [2453] that [3754] it was [2076] Jesus [2424], which [3588] had made [4160] him [846] whole [5199]. 43 5 16 And [2532] therefore [1223] [5124] did [1377] the Jews [2453] persecute [1377] Jesus [2424], and [2532] sought [2212] to slay [615] him [846], because [3754] he had done [4160] these things [5023] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]. 43 5 17 But [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], My [3450] Father [3962] worketh [2038] hitherto [2193] [737], and I [2504] work [2038]. 43 5 18 Therefore [1223] [5124] [3767] the Jews [2453] sought [2212] the more [3123] to kill [615] him [846], because [3754] he [3089] not [3756] only [3440] had broken [3089] the sabbath [4521], but [235] said [3004] also [2532] that God [2316] was his [2398] Father [3962], making [4160] himself [1438] equal [2470] with God [2316]. 43 5 19 Then [3767] answered [611] Jesus [2424] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], The Son [5207] can [1410] [3756] do [4160] nothing [3762] of [575] himself [1438], but [3362] what [5100] he seeth [991] the Father [3962] do [4160]: for [1063] what things soever [3739] [302] he [1565] doeth [4160], these [5023] also [2532] doeth [4160] the Son [5207] likewise [3668]. 43 5 20 For [1063] the Father [3962] loveth [5368] the Son [5207], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all things [3956] that [3739] himself [846] doeth [4160]: and [2532] he will shew [1166] him [846] greater [3187] works [2041] than [3187] these [5130], that [2443] ye [5210] may marvel [2296]. 43 5 21 For [1063] as [5618] the Father [3962] raiseth up [1453] the dead [3498], and [2532] quickeneth [2227] them; even [2532] so [3779] the Son [5207] quickeneth [2227] whom [3739] he will [2309]. 43 5 22 For [1063] [3761] the Father [3962] judgeth [2919] no man [3762], but [235] hath committed [1325] all [3956] judgment [2920] unto the Son [5207]: 43 5 23 That [2443] all [3956] men should honour [5091] the Son [5207], even as [2531] they honour [5091] the Father [3962]. He that honoureth [5091] not [3361] the Son [5207] honoureth [5091] not [3756] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] him [846]. 43 5 24 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] He that heareth [191] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] believeth [4100] on him that sent [3992] me [3165], hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222], and [2532] shall [2064] not [3756] come [2064] into [1519] condemnation [2920]; but [235] is passed [3327] from [1537] death [2288] unto [1519] life [2222]. 43 5 25 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] The hour [5610] is coming [2064], and [2532] now [3568] is [2076], when [3753] the dead [3498] shall hear [191] the voice [5456] of the Son [5207] of God [2316]: and [2532] they that hear [191] shall live [2198]. 43 5 26 For [1063] as [5618] the Father [3962] hath [2192] life [2222] in [1722] himself [1438]; so [2532] [3779] hath he given [1325] to the Son [5207] to have [2192] life [2222] in [1722] himself [1438]; 43 5 27 And [2532] hath given [1325] him [846] authority [1849] to execute [4160] judgment [2920] also [2532], because [3754] he is [2076] the Son [5207] of man [444]. 43 5 28 Marvel [2296] not [3361] at this [5124]: for [3754] the hour [5610] is coming [2064], in [1722] the which [3739] all [3956] that are in [1722] the graves [3419] shall hear [191] his [846] voice [5456], 43 5 29 And [2532] shall come forth [1607]; they that have done [4160] good [18], unto [1519] the resurrection [386] of life [2222]; and [1161] they that have done [4238] evil [5337], unto [1519] the resurrection [386] of damnation [2920]. 43 5 30 I [1473] can [1410] of [575] mine own self [1683] do [4160] nothing [3756] [3762]: as [2531] I hear [191], I judge [2919]: and [2532] my [1699] judgment [2920] is [2076] just [1342]; because [3754] I seek [2212] not [3756] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of the Father [3962] which hath sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 5 31 If [1437] I [1473] bear witness [3140] of [4012] myself [1683], my [3450] witness [3141] is [2076] not [3756] true [227]. 43 5 32 There is [2076] another [243] that beareth witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700]; and [2532] I know [1492] that [3754] the witness [3141] which [3739] he witnesseth [3140] of [4012] me [1700] is [2076] true [227]. 43 5 33 Ye [5210] sent [649] unto [4314] John [2491], and [2532] he bare witness [3140] unto the truth [225]. 43 5 34 But [1161] I [1473] receive [2983] not [3756] testimony [3141] from [3844] man [444]: but [235] these things [5023] I say [3004], that [2443] ye [5210] might be saved [4982]. 43 5 35 He [1565] was [2258] a burning [2545] and [2532] a shining [5316] light [3088]: and [1161] ye [5210] were willing [2309] for [4314] a season [5610] to rejoice [21] in [1722] his [846] light [5457]. 43 5 36 But [1161] I [1473] have [2192] greater [3187] witness [3141] than that of John [2491]: for [1063] the works [2041] which [3739] the Father [3962] hath given [1325] me [3427] to [2443] finish [5048] [846], the same [846] works [2041] that [3739] I [1473] do [4160], bear witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700], that [3754] the Father [3962] hath sent [649] me [3165]. 43 5 37 And [2532] the Father [3962] himself [846], which hath sent [3992] me [3165], hath borne witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700]. Ye have [191] neither [3777] heard [191] his [846] voice [5456] at any time [4455], nor [3777] seen [3708] his [846] shape [1491]. 43 5 38 And [2532] ye have [2192] not [3756] his [846] word [3056] abiding [3306] in [1722] you [5213]: for [3754] whom [3739] [1565] he hath sent [649], him [5129] ye [5210] believe [4100] not [3756]. 43 5 39 Search [2045] the scriptures [1124]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] ye [5210] think [1380] ye have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]: and [2532] they [1565] are they [1526] which testify [3140] of [4012] me [1700]. 43 5 40 And [2532] ye will [2309] not [3756] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], that [2443] ye might have [2192] life [2222]. 43 5 41 I receive [2983] not [3756] honour [1391] from [3844] men [444]. 43 5 42 But [235] I know [1097] you [5209], that [3754] ye have [2192] not [3756] the love [26] of God [2316] in [1722] you [1438]. 43 5 43 I am [1473] come [2064] in [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] name [3686], and [2532] ye receive [2983] me [3165] not [3756]: if [1437] another [243] shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [2398] name [3686], him [1565] ye will receive [2983]. 43 5 44 How [4459] can [1410] ye [5210] believe [4100], which receive [2983] honour [1391] one of another [3844] [240], and [2532] seek [2212] not [3756] the honour [1391] that cometh from [3844] God [2316] only [3441]? 43 5 45 Do [1380] not [3361] think [1380] that [3754] I [1473] will accuse [2723] you [5216] to [4314] the Father [3962]: there is [2076] one that accuseth [2723] you [5216], even Moses [3475], in [1519] whom [3739] ye [5210] trust [1679]. 43 5 46 For [1063] [1487] had ye believed [4100] Moses [3475], ye would have believed [4100] [302] me [1698]: for [1063] he [1565] wrote [1125] of [4012] me [1700]. 43 5 47 But [1161] if [1487] ye believe [4100] not [3756] his [1565] writings [1121], how [4459] shall ye believe [4100] my [1699] words [4487]? 43 6 1 After [3326] these things [5023] Jesus [2424] went [565] over [4008] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], which is the sea of Tiberias [5085]. 43 6 2 And [2532] a great [4183] multitude [3793] followed [190] him [846], because [3754] they saw [3708] his [846] miracles [4592] which [3739] he did [4160] on [1909] them that were diseased [770]. 43 6 3 And [1161] Jesus [2424] went up [424] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] there [1563] he sat [2521] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101]. 43 6 4 And [1161] the passover [3957], a feast [1859] of the Jews [2453], was [2258] nigh [1451]. 43 6 5 When Jesus [2424] then [3767] lifted up [1869] his eyes [3788], and [2532] saw [2300] [3754] a great [4183] company [3793] come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], he saith [3004] unto [4314] Philip [5376], Whence [4159] shall we buy [59] bread [740], that [2443] these [3778] may eat [5315]? 43 6 6 And [1161] this [5124] he said [3004] to prove [3985] him [846]: for [1063] he himself [846] knew [1492] what [5101] he would [3195] do [4160]. 43 6 7 Philip [5376] answered [611] him [846], Two hundred [1250] pennyworth [1220] of bread [740] is [714] not [3756] sufficient [714] for them [846], that [2443] every one [1538] of them [846] may take [2983] a [5100] little [1024]. 43 6 8 One [1520] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101], Andrew [406], Simon [4613] Peter's [4074] brother [80], saith [3004] unto him [846], 43 6 9 There is [2076] a [1520] lad [3808] here [5602], which [3739] hath [2192] five [4002] barley [2916] loaves [740], and [2532] two [1417] small fishes [3795]: but [235] what [5101] are [2076] they [5023] among [1519] so many [5118]? 43 6 10 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Make [4160] the men [444] sit down [377]. Now [1161] there was [2258] much [4183] grass [5528] in [1722] the place [5117]. So [3767] the men [435] sat down [377], in number [706] about [5616] five thousand [4000]. 43 6 11 And [1161] Jesus [2424] took [2983] the loaves [740]; and [2532] when he had given thanks [2168], he distributed [1239] to the disciples [3101], and [1161] the disciples [3101] to them that were set down [345]; and [2532] likewise [3668] of [1537] the fishes [3795] as much as [3745] they would [2309]. 43 6 12 When [1161] [5613] they were filled [1705], he said [3004] unto his [846] disciples [3101], Gather up [4863] the fragments [2801] that remain [4052], that nothing [3363] [5100] be lost [622]. 43 6 13 Therefore [3767] they gathered them together [4863], and [2532] filled [1072] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] with the fragments [2801] of [1537] the five [4002] barley [2916] loaves [740], which [3739] remained over and above [4052] unto them that had eaten [977]. 43 6 14 Then [3767] those men [444], when they had seen [1492] the miracle [4592] that [3739] Jesus [2424] did [4160], said [3004], This [3754] [3778] is [2076] of a truth [230] that prophet [4396] that should come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889]. 43 6 15 When Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] perceived [1097] that [3754] they would [3195] come [2064] and [2532] take [726] him [846] by force [726], to [2443] make [4160] him [846] a king [935], he departed [402] again [3825] into [1519] a mountain [3735] himself [846] alone [3441]. 43 6 16 And [1161] when [5613] even [3798] was now come [1096], his [846] disciples [3101] went down [2597] unto [1909] the sea [2281], 43 6 17 And [2532] entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and went [2064] over [4008] the sea [2281] toward [1519] Capernaum [2584]. And [2532] it was [1096] now [2235] dark [4653], and [2532] Jesus [2424] was [2064] not [3756] come [2064] to [4314] them [846]. 43 6 18 And [5037] the sea [2281] arose [1326] by reason of a great [3173] wind [417] that blew [4154]. 43 6 19 So [3767] when they had rowed [1643] about [5613] five [4002] and twenty [1501] or [2228] thirty [5144] furlongs [4712], they see [2334] Jesus [2424] walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] drawing [1096] nigh [1451] unto the ship [4143]: and [2532] they were afraid [5399]. 43 6 20 But [1161] he saith [3004] unto them [846], It is [1510] I [1473]; be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399]. 43 6 21 Then [3767] they willingly [2309] received [2983] him [846] into [1519] the ship [4143]: and [2532] immediately [2112] the ship [4143] was [1096] at [1909] the land [1093] whither [1519] [3739] they went [5217]. 43 6 22 The day following [1887], when the people [3793] which [3588] stood [2476] on the other side [4008] of the sea [2281] saw [1492] that [3754] there was [2258] none [3756] other [243] boat [4142] there [1563], save [1508] that [1565] one [1520] whereinto [1519] [3739] his [846] disciples [3101] were entered [1684], and [2532] that [3754] Jesus [2424] went [4897] not [3756] with [4897] his [846] disciples [3101] into [1519] the boat [4142], but [235] that his [846] disciples [3101] were gone away [565] alone [3441]; 43 6 23 (Howbeit [235] [1161] there came [2064] other [243] boats [4142] from [1537] Tiberias [5085] nigh [1451] unto the place [5117] where [3699] they did eat [5315] bread [740], after that the Lord [2962] had given thanks [2168] 43 6 24 When [3753] the people [3793] therefore [3767] saw [1492] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was [2076] not [3756] there [1563], neither [3761] his [846] disciples [3101], they [846] also [2532] took [1684] [1519] shipping [4143], and [2532] came [2064] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], seeking for [2212] Jesus [2424]. 43 6 25 And [2532] when they had found [2147] him [846] on the other side [4008] of the sea [2281], they said [2036] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], when [4219] camest thou [1096] hither [5602]? 43 6 26 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846] and [2532] said [2036], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ye seek [2212] me [3165], not [3756] because [3754] ye saw [1492] the miracles [4592], but [235] because [3754] ye did eat [5315] of [1537] the loaves [740], and [2532] were filled [5526]. 43 6 27 Labour [2038] not [3361] for the meat [1035] which [3588] perisheth [622], but [235] for that meat [1035] which [3588] endureth [3306] unto [1519] everlasting [166] life [2222], which [3739] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall give [1325] unto you [5213]: for [1063] him [5126] hath [4972] God [2316] the Father [3962] sealed [4972]. 43 6 28 Then [3767] said they [2036] unto [4314] him [846], What [5101] shall we do [4160] [4160], that [2443] we might work [2038] the works [2041] of God [2316]? 43 6 29 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], This [5124] is [2076] the work [2041] of God [2316], that [2443] ye believe [4100] on [1519] him [3739] whom [1565] he hath sent [649]. 43 6 30 They said [2036] therefore [3767] unto him [846], What [5101] sign [4592] shewest [4160] thou [4771] then [3767], that [2443] we may see [1492], and [2532] believe [4100] thee [4671]? what [5101] dost thou work [2038]? 43 6 31 Our [2257] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131] in [1722] the desert [2048]; as [2531] it is [2076] written [1125], He gave [1325] them [846] bread [740] from [1537] heaven [3772] to eat [5315]. 43 6 32 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Moses [3475] gave [1325] you [5213] not [3756] that bread [740] from [1537] heaven [3772]; but [235] my [3450] Father [3962] giveth [1325] you [5213] the true [228] bread [740] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 43 6 33 For [1063] the bread [740] of God [2316] is he [2076] which [3588] cometh down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] giveth [1325] life [2222] unto the world [2889]. 43 6 34 Then [3767] said they [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Lord [2962], evermore [3842] give [1325] us [2254] this [5126] bread [740]. 43 6 35 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], I [1473] am [1510] the bread [740] of life [2222]: he that cometh [2064] to [4314] me [3165] shall never [3364] hunger [3983]; and [2532] he that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691] shall [1372] never [3364] [4455] thirst [1372]. 43 6 36 But [235] I said [2036] unto you [5213], That [3754] ye [3708] also [2532] have seen [3708] me [3165], and [2532] believe [4100] not [3756]. 43 6 37 All [3956] that [3739] the Father [3962] giveth [1325] me [3427] shall come [2240] to [4314] me [1691]; and [2532] him that cometh [2064] to [4314] me [3165] I will [1544] in no wise [3364] cast [1544] out [1854]. 43 6 38 For [3754] I came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], not [3756] to [2443] do [4160] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 6 39 And [1161] this [5124] is [2076] the Father's [3962] will [2307] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165], that [2443] of all [3956] which [3739] he hath given [1325] me [3427] I should lose [622] nothing [3361] [1537] [846], but [235] should raise [450] it [846] up again [450] at [1722] the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 6 40 And [1161] this [5124] is [2076] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165], that [2443] every one [3956] which [3588] seeth [2334] the Son [5207], and [2532] believeth [4100] on [1519] him [846], may have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 6 41 The Jews [2453] then [3767] murmured [1111] at [4012] him [846], because [3754] he said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] the bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 43 6 42 And [2532] they said [3004], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] Jesus [2424], the son [5207] of Joseph [2501], whose [3739] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384] we [2249] know [1492]? how is it [4459] then [3767] that he [3778] saith [3004], [3754] I came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]? 43 6 43 Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Murmur [1111] not [3361] among [3326] yourselves [240]. 43 6 44 No man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], except [3362] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165] draw [1670] him [846]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 6 45 It is [2076] written [1125] in [1722] the prophets [4396], And [2532] they shall be [2071] all [3956] taught [1318] of God [2316]. Every man [3956] therefore [3767] that hath heard [191], and [2532] hath learned [3129] of [3844] the Father [3962], cometh [2064] unto [4314] me [3165]. 43 6 46 Not [3756] that [3754] any man [5100] hath seen [3708] the Father [3962], save [1508] he which [3588] is [3844] [5607] of God [2316], he [3778] hath seen [3708] the Father [3962]. 43 6 47 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]. 43 6 48 I [1473] am [1510] that bread [740] of life [2222]. 43 6 49 Your [5216] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], and [2532] are dead [599]. 43 6 50 This [3778] is [2076] the bread [740] which [3588] cometh down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], that [3363] a man [5100] may eat [5315] thereof [1537] [846], and [2532] not [3363] die [599]. 43 6 51 I [1473] am [1510] the living [2198] bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: if [1437] any man [5100] eat [5315] of [1537] this [5127] bread [740], he shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165]: and [1161] [2532] the bread [740] that [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] is [2076] my [3450] flesh [4561], which [3739] I [1473] will give [1325] for [5228] the life [2222] of the world [2889]. 43 6 52 The Jews [2453] therefore [3767] strove [3164] among [4314] themselves [240], saying [3004], How [4459] can [1410] this man [3778] give [1325] us [2254] his flesh [4561] to eat [5315]? 43 6 53 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] ye eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of the Son [5207] of man [444], and [2532] drink [4095] his [846] blood [129], ye have [2192] no [3756] life [2222] in [1722] you [1438]. 43 6 54 Whoso eateth [5176] my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] drinketh [4095] my [3450] blood [129], hath [2192] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 6 55 For [1063] my [3450] flesh [4561] is [2076] meat [1035] indeed [230], and [2532] my [3450] blood [129] is [2076] drink [4213] indeed [230]. 43 6 56 He that eateth [5176] my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] drinketh [4095] my [3450] blood [129], dwelleth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] him [846]. 43 6 57 As [2531] the living [2198] Father [3962] hath sent [649] me [3165], and I [2504] live [2198] by [1223] the Father [3962]: so [2532] he that eateth [5176] me [3165], even he [2548] shall live [2198] by [1223] me [1691]. 43 6 58 This [3778] is [2076] that bread [740] which [3588] came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772]: not [3756] as [2531] your [5216] fathers [3962] did eat [5315] manna [3131], and [2532] are dead [599]: he that eateth [5176] of this [5126] bread [740] shall live [2198] for [1519] ever [165]. 43 6 59 These things [5023] said he [2036] in [1722] the synagogue [4864], as he taught [1321] in [1722] Capernaum [2584]. 43 6 60 Many [4183] therefore [3767] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101], when they had heard [191] this, said [2036], This [3778] is [2076] an hard [4642] saying [3056]; who [5101] can [1410] hear [191] it [846]? 43 6 61 When [1161] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] in [1722] himself [1438] that [3754] his [846] disciples [3101] murmured [1111] at [4012] it [5127], he said [2036] unto them [846], Doth this [5124] offend [4624] you [5209]? 43 6 62 What and [3767] if [1437] ye shall see [2334] the Son [5207] of man [444] ascend up [305] where [3699] he was [2258] before [4386]? 43 6 63 It is [2076] the spirit [4151] that quickeneth [2227]; the flesh [4561] [3756] profiteth [5623] nothing [3762]: the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213], they are [2076] spirit [4151], and [2532] they are [2076] life [2222]. 43 6 64 But [235] there are [1526] some [5100] of [1537] you [5216] that [3739] believe [4100] not [3756]. For [1063] Jesus [2424] knew [1492] from [1537] the beginning [746] who [5101] they were [1526] that believed [4100] not [3361], and [2532] who [5101] should [2076] betray [3860] him [846]. 43 6 65 And [2532] he said [3004], Therefore [1223] [5124] said I [2046] unto you [5213], that [3754] no man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], except [3362] it were [5600] given [1325] unto him [846] of [1537] my [3450] Father [3962]. 43 6 66 From [1537] that [5127] time many [4183] of his [846] disciples [3101] went [565] back [1519] [3694], and [2532] walked [4043] no more [3765] with [3326] him [846]. 43 6 67 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto the twelve [1427], [3361] Will [2309] ye [5210] also [2532] go away [5217]? 43 6 68 Then [3767] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] answered [611] him [846], Lord [2962], to [4314] whom [5101] shall we go [565]? thou hast [2192] the words [4487] of eternal [166] life [2222]. 43 6 69 And [2532] we [2249] believe [4100] and [2532] are sure [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] that Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of the living [2198] God [2316]. 43 6 70 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Have [1586] not [3756] I [1473] chosen [1586] you [5209] twelve [1427], and [2532] one [1520] of [1537] you [5216] is [2076] a devil [1228]? 43 6 71 [1161] He spake [3004] of Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469] the son of Simon [4613]: for [1063] he [3778] it was that should [3195] betray [3860] him [846], being [5607] one [1520] of [1537] the twelve [1427]. 43 7 1 [2532] After [3326] these things [5023] Jesus [2424] walked [4043] in [1722] Galilee [1056]: for [1063] he would [2309] not [3756] walk [4043] in [1722] Jewry [2449], because [3754] the Jews [2453] sought [2212] to kill [615] him [846]. 43 7 2 Now [1161] the Jews [2453]' feast [1859] of tabernacles [4634] was [2258] at hand [1451]. 43 7 3 His [846] brethren [80] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Depart [3327] hence [1782], and [2532] go [5217] into [1519] Judaea [2449], that [2443] thy [4675] disciples [3101] also [2532] may see [2334] the works [2041] that [3739] thou [4675] doest [4160]. 43 7 4 For [1063] there is no man [3762] that doeth [4160] any thing [5100] in [1722] secret [2927], and [2532] he himself [846] seeketh [2212] to be [1511] known openly [1722] [3954]. If [1487] thou do [4160] these things [5023], shew [5319] thyself [4572] to the world [2889]. 43 7 5 For [1063] neither [3761] did [4100] his [846] brethren [80] believe [4100] in [1519] him [846]. 43 7 6 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [3004] unto them [846], My [1699] time [2540] is [3918] not yet [3768] come [3918]: but [1161] your [5212] time [2540] is [2076] alway [3842] ready [2092]. 43 7 7 The world [2889] cannot [3756] [1410] hate [3404] you [5209]; but [1161] me [1691] it hateth [3404], because [3754] I [1473] testify [3140] of [4012] it [846], that [3754] the works [2041] thereof [846] are [2076] evil [4190]. 43 7 8 Go [305] ye [5210] up [305] unto [1519] this [5026] feast [1859]: I [1473] go [305] not [3768] up [305] yet [3768] unto [1519] this [5026] feast [1859]; for [3754] my [1699] time [2540] is [4137] not yet [3768] full come [4137]. 43 7 9 When [1161] he had said [2036] these words [5023] unto them [846], he abode [3306] still in [1722] Galilee [1056]. 43 7 10 But [1161] when [5613] his [846] brethren [80] were gone up [305], then [5119] went [305] he [846] also [2532] up [305] unto [1519] the feast [1859], not [3756] openly [5320], but [235] as it were [5613] in [1722] secret [2927]. 43 7 11 Then [3767] the Jews [2453] sought [2212] him [846] at [1722] the feast [1859], and [2532] said [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] he [1565]? 43 7 12 And [2532] there was [2258] much [4183] murmuring [1112] among [1722] the people [3793] concerning [4012] him [846]: for some [3303] said [3004], [3754] He is [2076] a good man [18]: others [1161] [243] said [3004], Nay [3756]; but [235] he deceiveth [4105] the people [3793]. 43 7 13 Howbeit [3305] no man [3762] spake [2980] openly [3954] of [4012] him [846] for [1223] fear [5401] of the Jews [2453]. 43 7 14 Now [2235] about [1161] the midst of [3322] the feast [1859] Jesus [2424] went up [305] into [1519] the temple [2411], and [2532] taught [1321]. 43 7 15 And [2532] the Jews [2453] marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] knoweth [1492] this man [3778] letters [1121], having [3129] never [3361] learned [3129]? 43 7 16 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], My [1699] doctrine [1322] is [2076] not [3756] mine [1699], but [235] his that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 7 17 If [1437] any man [5100] will [2309] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], he shall know [1097] of [4012] the doctrine [1322], whether [4220] it be [2076] of [1537] God [2316], or [2228] whether I [1473] speak [2980] of [575] myself [1683]. 43 7 18 He that speaketh [2980] of [575] himself [1438] seeketh [2212] his own [2398] glory [1391]: but [1161] he that seeketh [2212] his glory [1391] that sent [3992] him [846], the same [3778] is [2076] true [227], and [2532] no [3756] unrighteousness [93] is [2076] in [1722] him [846]. 43 7 19 Did [1325] not [3756] Moses [3475] give [1325] you [5213] the law [3551], and [2532] yet none [3762] of [1537] you [5216] keepeth [4160] the law [3551]? Why [5101] go ye about [2212] to kill [615] me [3165]? 43 7 20 The people [3793] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], Thou hast [2192] a devil [1140]: who [5101] goeth about [2212] to kill [615] thee [4571]? 43 7 21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], I have done [4160] one [1520] work [2041], and [2532] ye [2296] all [3956] marvel [2296]. 43 7 22 Moses [3475] therefore [1223] [5124] gave [1325] unto you [5213] circumcision [4061]; (not [3756] because [3754] it is [2076] of [1537] Moses [3475], but [235] of [1537] the fathers [3962];) and [2532] ye [4059] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] circumcise [4059] a man [444]. 43 7 23 If [1487] a man [444] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521] receive [2983] circumcision [4061], that [3363] the law [3551] of Moses [3475] should [3089] not [3363] be broken [3089]; are ye angry [5520] at me [1698], because [3754] I have made [4160] a man [444] every whit [3650] whole [5199] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521]? 43 7 24 Judge [2919] not [3361] according to [2596] the appearance [3799], but [235] judge [2919] righteous [1342] judgment [2920]. 43 7 25 Then [3767] said [3004] some [5100] of [1537] them of Jerusalem [2415], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] he, whom [3739] they seek [2212] to kill [615]? 43 7 26 But [2532], lo [2396], he speaketh [2980] boldly [3954], and [2532] they say [3004] nothing [3762] unto him [846]. Do [1097] the rulers [758] know [1097] indeed [3379] [230] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the very [230] Christ [5547]? 43 7 27 Howbeit [235] we know [1492] this man [5126] whence [4159] he is [2076]: but [1161] when [3752] Christ [5547] cometh [2064], no man [3762] knoweth [1097] whence [4159] he is [2076]. 43 7 28 Then [3767] cried [2896] Jesus [2424] in [1722] the temple [2411] as he taught [1321], [2532] saying [3004], Ye both [2504] know me [1492], and [2532] ye know [1492] whence [4159] I am [1510]: and [2532] I am [2064] not [3756] come [2064] of [575] myself [1683], but [235] he that sent [3992] me [3165] is [2076] true [228], whom [3739] ye [5210] know [1492] not [3756]. 43 7 29 But [1161] I [1473] know [1492] him [846]: for [3754] I am [1510] from [3844] him [846], and he [2548] hath sent [649] me [3165]. 43 7 30 Then [3767] they sought [2212] to take [4084] him [846]: but [2532] no man [3762] laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846], because [3754] his [846] hour [5610] was [2064] not yet [3768] come [2064]. 43 7 31 And [1161] many [4183] of [1537] the people [3793] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846], and [2532] said [3004], [3754] When [3752] Christ [5547] cometh [2064], will he do [3385] [4160] more [4119] miracles [4592] than these [5130] which [3739] this [3778] man hath done [4160]? 43 7 32 The Pharisees [5330] heard [191] that the people [3793] murmured [1111] such things [5023] concerning [4012] him [846]; and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] the chief priests [749] sent [649] officers [5257] to [2443] take [4084] him [846]. 43 7 33 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], Yet [2089] a little [3398] while [5550] am I [1510] with [3326] you [5216], and [2532] then I go [5217] unto [4314] him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 7 34 Ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] me: and [2532] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], thither ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]. 43 7 35 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453] among [4314] themselves [1438], Whither [4226] will [3195] he [3778] go [4198], that [3754] we [2249] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] him [846]? will [3361] [3195] he go [4198] unto [1519] the dispersed [1290] among the Gentiles [1672], and [2532] teach [1321] the Gentiles [1672]? 43 7 36 What [5101] manner of saying [3056] is [2076] this [3778] that [3739] he said [2036], Ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] me: and [2532] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], thither ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]? 43 7 37 [1161] In [1722] the last [2078] day [2250], that great [3173] day of the feast [1859], Jesus [2424] stood [2476] and [2532] cried [2896], saying [3004], If [1437] any man [5100] thirst [1372], let him come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] drink [4095]. 43 7 38 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691], as [2531] the scripture [1124] hath said [2036], out of [1537] his [846] belly [2836] shall flow [4482] rivers [4215] of living [2198] water [5204]. 43 7 39 (But [1161] this [5124] spake he [2036] of [4012] the Spirit [4151], which [3739] they that believe [4100] on [1519] him [846] should [3195] receive [2983]: for [1063] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] was [2258] not yet [3768] given; because [3754] that Jesus [2424] was [1392] not yet [3764] glorified [1392] 43 7 40 Many [4183] of [1537] the people [3793] therefore [3767], when they heard [191] this saying [3056], said [3004], Of a truth [230] this [3778] is [2076] the Prophet [4396]. 43 7 41 Others [243] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] the Christ [5547]. But [1161] some [243] said [3004], [1063] Shall [3361] Christ [5547] come [2064] out of [1537] Galilee [1056]? 43 7 42 Hath not [3780] the scripture [1124] said [2036], That [3754] Christ [5547] cometh [2064] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138], and [2532] out of [575] the town [2968] of Bethlehem [965], where [3699] David [1138] was [2258]? 43 7 43 So [3767] there was [1096] a division [4978] among [1722] the people [3793] because [1223] of him [846]. 43 7 44 And [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] would [2309] have taken [4084] him [846]; but [235] no man [3762] laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846]. 43 7 45 Then [3767] came [2064] the officers [5257] to [4314] the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330]; and [2532] they [1565] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [1302] have ye [71] not [3756] brought [71] him [846]? 43 7 46 The officers [5257] answered [611], Never [3763] man [444] spake [3779] [2980] like [5613] this [3778] man [444]. 43 7 47 Then [3767] answered [611] them [846] the Pharisees [5330], Are [4105] ye [5210] also [2532] deceived [4105] [3361]? 43 7 48 Have any [3387] of [1537] the rulers [758] or [2228] of [1537] the Pharisees [5330] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846]? 43 7 49 But [235] this [3778] people [3793] who [3588] knoweth [1097] not [3361] the law [3551] are [1526] cursed [1944]. 43 7 50 Nicodemus [3530] saith [3004] unto [4314] them [846], (he that came [2064] to Jesus [846] by [4314] night [3571], being [5607] one [1520] of [1537] them [846],) 43 7 51 Doth [2919] our [2257] law [3551] judge [2919] [3361] any man [444], before [4386] [3362] it hear [191] [3844] him [846], and [2532] know [1097] what [5101] he doeth [4160]? 43 7 52 They answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [3361] [1488] thou [4771] also [2532] of [1537] Galilee [1056]? Search [2045], and [2532] look [1492]: for [3754] out of [1537] Galilee [1056] ariseth [1453] no [3756] prophet [4396]. 43 7 53 And [2532] every man [1538] went [4198] unto [1519] his own [846] house [3624]. 43 8 1 [1161] Jesus [2424] went [4198] unto [1519] the mount [3735] of Olives [1636]. 43 8 2 And [1161] early in the morning [3722] he came [3854] again [3825] into [1519] the temple [2411], and [2532] all [3956] the people [2992] came [2064] unto [4314] him [846]; and [2532] he sat down [2523], and taught [1321] them [846]. 43 8 3 And [1161] the scribes [1122] and [2532] Pharisees [5330] brought [71] unto [4314] him [846] a woman [1135] taken [2638] in [1722] adultery [3430]; and [2532] when they had set [2476] her [846] in [1722] the midst [3319], 43 8 4 They say [3004] unto him [846], Master [1320], this [3778] woman [1135] was taken [2638] in adultery [3431], in the very act [1888]. 43 8 5 Now [1161] Moses [3475] in [1722] the law [3551] commanded [1781] us [2254], that such [5108] should be stoned [3036]: but [3767] what [5101] sayest [3004] thou [4771]? 43 8 6 [1161] This [5124] they said [3004], tempting [3985] him [846], that [2443] they might have [2192] to accuse [2723] him [846]. But [1161] Jesus [2424] stooped [2955] down [2736], and with his finger [1147] wrote [1125] on [1519] the ground [1093], as though he heard [4364] them not [3361]. 43 8 7 So [1161] when [5613] they continued [1961] asking [2065] him [846], he lifted up himself [352], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], He that is without sin [361] among you [5216], let him [906] first [4413] cast [906] a stone [3037] at [1909] her [846]. 43 8 8 And [2532] again [3825] he stooped [2955] down [2736], and wrote [1125] on [1519] the ground [1093]. 43 8 9 And [1161] they which heard [191] it, [2532] being convicted [1651] by [5259] their own conscience [4893], went out [1831] one by one [1527], beginning [756] at [575] the eldest [4245], even unto [2193] the last [2078]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] was left [2641] alone [3441], and [2532] the woman [1135] standing [2476] in [1722] the midst [3319]. 43 8 10 When [1161] Jesus [2424] had lifted up himself [352], and [2532] saw [2300] none [3367] but [4133] the woman [1135], he said [2036] unto her [846], Woman [1135], where [4226] are [1526] those [1565] thine [4675] accusers [2725]? hath [2632] no man [3762] condemned [2632] thee [4571]? 43 8 11 [1161] She said [2036], No man [3762], Lord [2962]. And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto her [846], Neither [3761] do [2632] I [1473] condemn [2632] thee [4571]: go [4198], and [2532] sin [264] no more [3371]. 43 8 12 Then [3767] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] again [3825] unto them [846], saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] the light [5457] of the world [2889]: he that followeth [190] me [1698] shall [4043] not [3364] walk [4043] in [1722] darkness [4653], but [235] shall have [2192] the light [5457] of life [2222]. 43 8 13 The Pharisees [5330] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou [4771] bearest record [3140] of [4012] thyself [4572]; thy [4675] record [3141] is [2076] not [3756] true [227]. 43 8 14 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Though [2579] I [1473] bear record [3140] of [4012] myself [1683], yet my [3450] record [3141] is [2076] true [227]: for [3754] I know [1492] whence [4159] I came [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] I go [5217]; but [1161] ye [5210] cannot [3756] tell [1492] whence [4159] I come [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] I go [5217]. 43 8 15 Ye [5210] judge [2919] after [2596] the flesh [4561]; I [1473] judge [2919] no [3756] man [3762]. 43 8 16 And [1161] yet [2532] if [1437] I [1473] judge [2919], my [1699] judgment [2920] is [2076] true [227]: for [3754] I am [1510] not [3756] alone [3441], but [235] I [1473] and [2532] the Father [3962] that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 8 17 [2532] It is [1125] also [1161] written [1125] in [1722] your [5212] law [3551], that [3754] the testimony [3141] of two [1417] men [444] is [2076] true [227]. 43 8 18 I [1473] am [1510] one that bear witness [3140] of [4012] myself [1683], and [2532] the Father [3962] that sent [3992] me [3165] beareth witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700]. 43 8 19 Then [3767] said they [3004] unto him [846], Where [4226] is [2076] thy [4675] Father [3962]? Jesus [2424] answered [611], Ye [1492] neither [3777] know [1492] me [1691], nor [3777] my [3450] Father [3962]: if [1487] ye had known [1492] me [1691], [2532] ye should have known [1492] my [3450] Father [3962] also [302]. 43 8 20 These [5023] words [4487] spake [2980] Jesus [2424] in [1722] the treasury [1049], as he taught [1321] in [1722] the temple [2411]: and [2532] no man [3762] laid hands [4084] on him [846]; for [3754] his [846] hour [5610] was [2064] not yet [3768] come [2064]. 43 8 21 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] again [3825] unto them [846], I [1473] go my way [5217], and [2532] ye shall seek [2212] me [3165], and [2532] shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]: whither [3699] I [1473] go [5217], ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]. 43 8 22 Then [3767] said [3004] the Jews [2453], Will he kill [3385] [615] himself [1438]? because [3754] he saith [3004], Whither [3699] I [1473] go [5217], ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]. 43 8 23 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] are [2075] from [1537] beneath [2736]; I [1473] am [1510] from [1537] above [507]: ye [5210] are [2075] of [1537] this [5127] world [2889]; I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] this [5127] world [2889]. 43 8 24 I said [2036] therefore [3767] unto you [5213], that [3754] ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]: for [1063] if [3362] ye believe [4100] not [3362] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]. 43 8 25 Then [3767] said they [3004] unto him [846], Who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771]? And [2532] Jesus [2424] saith [2036] unto them [846], Even [3748] [2532] the same that I said [2980] unto you [5213] from the beginning [746]. 43 8 26 I have [2192] many things [4183] to say [2980] and [2532] to judge [2919] of [4012] you [5216]: but [235] he that sent [3992] me [3165] is [2076] true [227]; and I [2504] speak [3004] to [1519] the world [2889] those things [5023] which [3739] I have heard [191] of [3844] him [846]. 43 8 27 They understood [1097] not [3756] that [3754] he spake [3004] to them [846] of the Father [3962]. 43 8 28 Then [5119] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], When [3752] ye have lifted up [5312] the Son [5207] of man [444], then [3767] shall ye know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, and [2532] that I do [4160] nothing [3762] of [575] myself [1683]; but [235] as [2531] my [3450] Father [3962] hath taught [1321] me [3165], I speak [2980] these things [5023]. 43 8 29 And [2532] he that sent [3992] me [3165] is [2076] with [3326] me [1700]: the Father [3962] hath [863] not [3756] left [863] me [3165] alone [3441]; for [3754] I [1473] do [4160] always [3842] those things that please [701] him [846]. 43 8 30 As he [846] spake [2980] these words [5023], many [4183] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846]. 43 8 31 Then [3767] said [3004] Jesus [2424] to [4314] those Jews [2453] which [3588] believed [4100] on him [846], If [1437] ye [5210] continue [3306] in [1722] my [1699] word [3056], then are ye [2075] my [3450] disciples [3101] indeed [230]; 43 8 32 And [2532] ye shall know [1097] the truth [225], and [2532] the truth [225] shall make [1659] you [5209] free [1659]. 43 8 33 They answered [611] him [846], We be [2070] Abraham's [11] seed [4690], and [2532] were [1398] never [4455] in bondage [1398] to any man [3762]: how [4459] sayest [3004] thou [4771], [3754] Ye shall be made [1096] free [1658]? 43 8 34 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whosoever [3956] committeth [4160] sin [266] is [2076] the servant [1401] of sin [266]. 43 8 35 And [1161] the servant [1401] abideth [3306] not [3756] in [1722] the house [3614] for [1519] ever [165]: but the Son [5207] abideth [3306] [1519] ever [165]. 43 8 36 If [1437] the Son [5207] therefore [3767] shall make [1659] you [5209] free [1659], ye shall be [2071] free [1658] indeed [3689]. 43 8 37 I know [1492] that [3754] ye are [2075] Abraham's [11] seed [4690]; but [235] ye seek [2212] to kill [615] me [3165], because [3754] my [1699] word [3056] hath [5562] no [3756] place [5562] in [1722] you [5213]. 43 8 38 I [1473] speak [2980] that which [3739] I have seen [3708] with [3844] my [3450] Father [3962]: and [2532] ye [5210] do [4160] that [3767] which [3739] ye have seen [3708] with [3844] your [5216] father [3962]. 43 8 39 They answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Abraham [11] is [2076] our [2257] father [3962]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], If [1487] ye were [2258] Abraham's [11] children [5043], ye would do [4160] [302] the works [2041] of Abraham [11]. 43 8 40 But [1161] now [3568] ye seek [2212] to kill [615] me [3165], a man [444] that [3739] hath told [2980] you [5213] the truth [225], which [3739] I have heard [191] of [3844] God [2316]: this [5124] did [4160] not [3756] Abraham [11]. 43 8 41 Ye [5210] do [4160] the deeds [2041] of your [5216] father [3962]. Then [3767] said they [2036] to him [846], We [2249] be [1080] not [3756] born [1080] of [1537] fornication [4202]; we have [2192] one [1520] Father [3962], even God [2316]. 43 8 42 Jesus [2424] [3767] said [2036] unto them [846], If [1487] God [2316] were [2258] your [5216] Father [3962], ye would [302] love [25] me [1691]: for [1063] I [1473] proceeded forth [1831] and [2532] came [2240] from [1537] God [2316]; neither [3761] [1063] came I [2064] of [575] myself [1683], but [235] he [1565] sent [649] me [3165]. 43 8 43 Why [1302] do ye [1097] not [3756] understand [1097] my [1699] speech [2981]? even because [3754] ye cannot [3756] [1410] hear [191] my [1699] word [3056]. 43 8 44 Ye [5210] are [2075] of [1537] your father [3962] the devil [1228], and [2532] the lusts [1939] of your [5216] father [3962] ye will [2309] do [4160]. He [1565] was [2258] a murderer [443] from [575] the beginning [746], and [2532] abode [2476] not [3756] in [1722] the truth [225], because [3754] there is [2076] no [3756] truth [225] in [1722] him [846]. When [3752] he speaketh [2980] a lie [5579], he speaketh [2980] of [1537] his own [2398]: for [3754] he is [2076] a liar [5583], and [2532] the father [3962] of it [846]. 43 8 45 And [1161] because [3754] I [1473] tell [3004] you the truth [225], ye believe [4100] me [3427] not [3756]. 43 8 46 Which [5101] of [1537] you [5216] convinceth [1651] me [3165] of [4012] sin [266]? And [1161] if [1487] I say [3004] the truth [225], why [1302] do [4100] ye [5210] not [3756] believe [4100] me [3427]? 43 8 47 He that is [5607] of [1537] God [2316] heareth [191] God's [2316] words [4487]: ye [5210] therefore [5124] [1223] hear [191] them not [3756], because [3754] ye are [2075] not [3756] of [1537] God [2316]. 43 8 48 Then [3767] answered [611] the Jews [2453], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Say [3004] we [2249] not [3756] well [2573] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] a Samaritan [4541], and [2532] hast [2192] a devil [1140]? 43 8 49 Jesus [2424] answered [611], I [1473] have [2192] not [3756] a devil [1140]; but [235] I honour [5091] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] ye [5210] do dishonour [818] me [3165]. 43 8 50 And [1161] I [1473] seek [2212] not [3756] mine own [3450] glory [1391]: there is [2076] one that seeketh [2212] and [2532] judgeth [2919]. 43 8 51 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] a man [5100] keep [5083] my [1699] saying [3056], he shall [2334] never [3364] [1519] [165] see [2334] death [2288]. 43 8 52 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453] unto him [846], Now [3568] we know [1097] that [3754] thou hast [2192] a devil [1140]. Abraham [11] is dead [599], and [2532] the prophets [4396]; and [2532] thou [4771] sayest [3004], If [1437] a man [5100] keep [5083] my [3450] saying [3056], he shall [1089] never [3364] [1519] [165] taste [1089] of death [2288]. 43 8 53 Art [3361] [1488] thou [4771] greater than [3187] our [2257] father [3962] Abraham [11], which [3748] is dead [599]? and [2532] the prophets [4396] are dead [599]: whom [5101] makest [4160] thou [4771] thyself [4572]? 43 8 54 Jesus [2424] answered [611], If [1437] I [1473] honour [1392] myself [1683], my [3450] honour [1391] is [2076] nothing [3762]: it is [2076] my [3450] Father [3962] that honoureth [1392] me [3165]; of whom [3739] ye [5210] say [3004], that [3754] he is [2076] your [5216] God [2316]: 43 8 55 Yet [2532] ye have [1097] not [3756] known [1097] him [846]; but [1161] I [1473] know [1492] him [846]: and [2532] if [1437] I should say [2036], [3754] I know [1492] him [846] not [3756], I shall be [2071] a liar [5583] like [3664] unto you [5216]: but [235] I know [1492] him [846], and [2532] keep [5083] his [846] saying [3056]. 43 8 56 Your [5216] father [3962] Abraham [11] rejoiced [21] to [2443] see [1492] my [1699] day [2250]: and [2532] he saw [1492] it, and [2532] was glad [5463]. 43 8 57 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453] unto [4314] him [846], Thou art [2192] not yet [3768] fifty [4004] years old [2094], and [2532] hast thou seen [3708] Abraham [11]? 43 8 58 Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Before [4250] Abraham [11] was [1096], I [1473] am [1510]. 43 8 59 Then [3767] took they up [142] stones [3037] to [2443] cast [906] at [1909] him [846]: but [1161] Jesus [2424] hid himself [2928], and [2532] went [1831] out of [1537] the temple [2411], going [1330] through [1223] the midst [3319] of them [846], and [2532] so [3779] passed by [3855]. 43 9 1 And [2532] as Jesus passed by [3855], he saw [1492] a man [444] which was blind [5185] from [1537] his birth [1079]. 43 9 2 And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Master [4461], who [5101] did sin [264], this man [3778], or [2228] his [846] parents [1118], that [2443] he was born [1080] blind [5185]? 43 9 3 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Neither [3777] hath [264] this man [3778] sinned [264], nor [3777] his [846] parents [1118]: but [235] that [2443] the works [2041] of God [2316] should be made manifest [5319] in [1722] him [846]. 43 9 4 I [1691] must [1163] work [2038] the works [2041] of him that sent [3992] me [3165], while [2193] it is [2076] day [2250]: the night [3571] cometh [2064], when [3753] no man [3762] can [1410] work [2038]. 43 9 5 As long as [3752] I am [5600] in [1722] the world [2889], I am [1510] the light [5457] of the world [2889]. 43 9 6 When he had thus [5023] spoken [2036], he spat [4429] on the ground [5476], and [2532] made [4160] clay [4081] of [1537] the spittle [4427], and [2532] he anointed [2025] [1909] the eyes [3788] of the blind man [5185] with the clay [4081], 43 9 7 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Go [5217], wash [3538] in [1519] the pool [2861] of Siloam [4611], (which [3739] is by interpretation [2059], Sent [649] He went his way [565] therefore [3767], and [2532] washed [3538], and [2532] came [2064] seeing [991]. 43 9 8 The neighbours [1069] therefore [3767], and [2532] they which before [4386] had seen [2334] him [846] that [3754] he was [2258] blind [5185], said [3004], Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] he that sat [2521] and [2532] begged [4319]? 43 9 9 Some [243] said [3004], [3754] This [3778] is he [2076]: [1161] others [243] said, [3754] He is [2076] like [3664] him [846]: but he [1565] said [3004], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he. 43 9 10 Therefore [3767] said they [3004] unto him [846], How [4459] were [455] thine [4675] eyes [3788] opened [455]? 43 9 11 He [1565] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], A man [444] that is called [3004] Jesus [2424] made [4160] clay [4081], and [2532] anointed [2025] mine [3450] eyes [3788], and [2532] said [2036] unto me [3427], Go [5217] to [1519] the pool [2861] of Siloam [4611], and [2532] wash [3538]: and [1161] I went [565] and [2532] washed [3538], and I received sight [308]. 43 9 12 Then [3767] said they [2036] unto him [846], Where [4226] is [2076] he [1565]? He said [3004], I know [1492] not [3756]. 43 9 13 They brought [71] to [4314] the Pharisees [5330] him [846] that aforetime [4218] was blind [5185]. 43 9 14 And [1161] it was [2258] the sabbath day [4521] when [3753] Jesus [2424] made [4160] the clay [4081], and [2532] opened [455] his [846] eyes [3788]. 43 9 15 Then [3767] again [3825] the Pharisees [5330] also [2532] asked [2065] him [846] how [4459] he had received his sight [308]. [1161] He said [2036] unto them [846], He put [2007] clay [4081] upon [1909] mine [3450] eyes [3788], and [2532] I washed [3538], and [2532] do see [991]. 43 9 16 Therefore [3767] said [3004] some [5100] of [1537] the Pharisees [5330], This [3778] man [444] is [2076] not [3756] of [3844] God [2316], because [3754] he keepeth [5083] not [3756] the sabbath day [4521]. Others [243] said [3004], How [4459] can [1410] a man [444] that is a sinner [268] do [4160] such [5108] miracles [4592]? And [2532] there was [2258] a division [4978] among [1722] them [846]. 43 9 17 They say [3004] unto the blind man [5185] again [3825], What [5101] sayest [3004] thou [4771] of [4012] him [846], that [3754] he hath opened [455] thine [4675] eyes [3788]? He said [2036], [3754] [1161] He is [2076] a prophet [4396]. 43 9 18 But [3767] the Jews [2453] did [4100] not [3756] believe [4100] concerning [4012] him [846], that [3754] he had been [2258] blind [5185], and [2532] received his sight [308], until [2193] [3755] they called [5455] the parents [1118] of him [846] that had received his sight [308]. 43 9 19 And [2532] they asked [2065] them [846], saying [3004], Is [2076] this [3778] your [5216] son [5207], who [3739] ye [5210] say [3004] [3754] was born [1080] blind [5185]? how [4459] then [3767] doth he [991] now [737] see [991]? 43 9 20 His [846] parents [1118] answered [611] them [846] and [2532] said [2036], We know [1492] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] our [2257] son [5207], and [2532] that [3754] he was born [1080] blind [5185]: 43 9 21 But [1161] by what means [4459] he [991] now [3568] seeth [991], we know [1492] not [3756]; or [2228] who [5101] hath opened [455] his [846] eyes [3788], we [2249] know [1492] not [3756]: he [846] is [2192] of age [2244]; ask [2065] him [846]: he [846] shall speak [2980] for [4012] himself [848]. 43 9 22 These [5023] words spake [2036] his [846] parents [1118], because [3754] they feared [5399] the Jews [2453]: for [1063] the Jews [2453] had agreed [4934] already [2235], that [2443] if [1437] any man [5100] did confess [3670] that he [846] was Christ [5547], he should be [1096] put out of the synagogue [656]. 43 9 23 Therefore [1223] [5124] said [2036] his [846] parents [1118], [3754] He is [2192] of age [2244]; ask [2065] him [846]. 43 9 24 Then [3767] again [1208] [1537] called they [5455] the man [444] that [3739] was [2258] blind [5185], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Give [1325] God [2316] the praise [1391]: we [2249] know [1492] that [3754] this [3778] man [444] is [2076] a sinner [268]. 43 9 25 [3767] He [1565] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], Whether [1487] he be [2076] a sinner [268] or no, I know [1492] not [3756]: one thing [1520] I know [1492], that [3754], whereas I was [5607] blind [5185], now [737] I see [991]. 43 9 26 Then [1161] said they [2036] to him [846] again [3825], What [5101] did he [4160] to thee [4671]? how [4459] opened he [455] thine [4675] eyes [3788]? 43 9 27 He answered [611] them [846], I have told [2036] you [5213] already [2235], and [2532] ye did [191] not [3756] hear [191]: wherefore [5101] would [2309] ye hear [191] it again [3825]? will [3361] [2309] ye [5210] also [2532] be [1096] his [846] disciples [3101]? 43 9 28 Then [3767] they reviled [3058] him [846], and [2532] said [2036], Thou [4771] art [1488] his [1565] disciple [3101]; but [1161] we [2249] are [2070] Moses [3475]' disciples [3101]. 43 9 29 We [2249] know [1492] that [3754] God [2316] spake [2980] unto Moses [3475]: as for this [1161] [5126] fellow, we know [1492] not [3756] from whence [4159] he is [2076]. 43 9 30 The man [444] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Why [1063] herein [1722] [5129] is [2076] a marvellous thing [2298], that [3754] ye [5210] know [1492] not [3756] from whence [4159] he is [2076], and [2532] yet he hath opened [455] mine [3450] eyes [3788]. 43 9 31 Now [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] God [2316] heareth [191] not [3756] sinners [268]: but [235] if [1437] any man [5100] be [5600] a worshipper of God [2318], and [2532] doeth [4160] his [846] will [2307], him [5127] he heareth [191]. 43 9 32 Since [1537] the world began [165] was it [191] not [3756] heard [191] that [3754] any man [5100] opened [455] the eyes [3788] of one that was born [1080] blind [5185]. 43 9 33 If [1508] this man [3778] were [2258] not [1508] of [3844] God [2316], he could [1410] [3756] do [4160] nothing [3762]. 43 9 34 They answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou [4771] wast [1080] altogether [3650] born [1080] in [1722] sins [266], and [2532] dost thou [4771] teach [1321] us [2248]? And [2532] they cast [1544] him [846] out [1854]. 43 9 35 Jesus [2424] heard [191] that [3754] they had cast [1544] him [846] out [1854]; and [2532] when he had found [2147] him [846], he said [2036] unto him [846], Dost [4100] thou [4771] believe [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] of God [2316]? 43 9 36 He [1565] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], Who [5101] is he [2076], Lord [2962], that [2443] I might believe [4100] on [1519] him [846]? 43 9 37 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou hast [3708] both [2532] seen [3708] him [846], and [2532] it is [2076] he [1565] that talketh [2980] with [3326] thee [4675]. 43 9 38 And [1161] he said [5346], Lord [2962], I believe [4100]. And [2532] he worshipped [4352] him [846]. 43 9 39 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036], For [1519] judgment [2917] I [1473] am come [2064] into [1519] this [5126] world [2889], that [2443] they which see [991] not [3361] might see [991]; and [2532] that they which see [991] might be made [1096] blind [5185]. 43 9 40 And [2532] some of [1537] the Pharisees [5330] which [3588] were [5607] with [3326] him [846] heard [191] these words [5023], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Are [3361] [2070] we [2249] blind [5185] also [2532]? 43 9 41 Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], If [1487] ye were [2258] blind [5185], ye should [302] have [2192] no [3756] sin [266]: but [1161] now [3568] ye say [3004], [3754] We see [991]; therefore [3767] your [5216] sin [266] remaineth [3306]. 43 10 1 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that entereth [1525] not [3361] by [1223] the door [2374] into [1519] the sheepfold [4263] [833], but [235] climbeth up [305] some other way [237], the same [1565] is [2076] a thief [2812] and [2532] a robber [3027]. 43 10 2 But [1161] he that entereth in [1525] by [1223] the door [2374] is [2076] the shepherd [4166] of the sheep [4263]. 43 10 3 To him [5129] the porter [2377] openeth [455]; and [2532] the sheep [4263] hear [191] his [846] voice [5456]: and [2532] he calleth [2564] his own [2398] sheep [4263] by [2596] name [3686], and [2532] leadeth [1806] them [846] out [1806]. 43 10 4 And [2532] when [3752] he putteth forth [1544] his own [2398] sheep [4263], he goeth [4198] before [1715] them [846], and [2532] the sheep [4263] follow [190] him [846]: for [3754] they know [1492] his [846] voice [5456]. 43 10 5 And [1161] a stranger [245] will they [190] not [3364] follow [190], but [235] will flee [5343] from [575] him [846]: for [3754] they know [1492] not [3756] the voice [5456] of strangers [245]. 43 10 6 This [5026] parable [3942] spake [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846]: but [1161] they [1565] understood [1097] not [3756] what things [5101] they were [2258] which [3739] he spake [2980] unto them [846]. 43 10 7 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846] again [3825], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] the door [2374] of the sheep [4263]. 43 10 8 All [3956] that ever [3745] came [2064] before [4253] me [1700] are [1526] thieves [2812] and [2532] robbers [3027]: but [235] the sheep [4263] did [191] not [3756] hear [191] them [846]. 43 10 9 I [1473] am [1510] the door [2374]: by [1223] me [1700] if [1437] any man [5100] enter in [1525], he shall be saved [4982], and [2532] shall go in [1525] and [2532] out [1831], and [2532] find [2147] pasture [3542]. 43 10 10 The thief [2812] cometh [2064] not [3756], but [1508] for to [2443] steal [2813], and [2532] to kill [2380], and [2532] to destroy [622]: I [1473] am come [2064] that [2443] they might have [2192] life [2222], and [2532] that they might have [2192] it more abundantly [4053]. 43 10 11 I [1473] am [1510] the good [2570] shepherd [4166]: the good [2570] shepherd [4166] giveth [5087] his [846] life [5590] for [5228] the sheep [4263]. 43 10 12 But [1161] he that is [5607] an hireling [3411], and [2532] not [3756] the shepherd [4166], whose [3739] own [2398] the sheep [4263] are [1526] not [3756], seeth [2334] the wolf [3074] coming [2064], and [2532] leaveth [863] the sheep [4263], and [2532] fleeth [5343]: and [2532] the wolf [3074] catcheth [726] them [846], and [2532] scattereth [4650] the sheep [4263]. 43 10 13 [1161] The hireling [3411] fleeth [5343], because [3754] he is [2076] an hireling [3411], and [2532] [846] careth [3199] not [3756] for [4012] the sheep [4263]. 43 10 14 I [1473] am [1510] the good [2570] shepherd [4166], and [2532] know [1097] my [1699] sheep, and [2532] am known [1097] of [5259] mine [1699]. 43 10 15 As [2531] the Father [3962] knoweth [1097] me [3165], even so [2504] know [1097] I [2504] the Father [3962]: and [2532] I lay down [5087] my [3450] life [5590] for [5228] the sheep [4263]. 43 10 16 And [2532] other [243] sheep [4263] I have [2192], which [3739] are [2076] not [3756] of [1537] this [5026] fold [833]: them also [2548] I [3165] must [1163] bring [71], and [2532] they shall hear [191] my [3450] voice [5456]; and [2532] there shall be [1096] one [3391] fold [4167], and one [1520] shepherd [4166]. 43 10 17 Therefore [5124] [1223] doth [25] my Father [3962] love [25] me [3165], because [3754] I [1473] lay down [5087] my [3450] life [5590], that [2443] I might take [2983] it [846] again [3825]. 43 10 18 No man [3762] taketh [142] it [846] from [575] me [1700], but [235] I [1473] lay [5087] it [846] down [5087] of [575] myself [1683]. I have [2192] power [1849] to lay [5087] it [846] down [5087], and [2532] I have [2192] power [1849] to take [2983] it [846] again [3825]. This [5026] commandment [1785] have I received [2983] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962]. 43 10 19 There was [1096] a division [4978] therefore [3767] again [3825] among [1722] the Jews [2453] for [1223] these [5128] sayings [3056]. 43 10 20 And [1161] many [4183] of [1537] them [846] said [3004], He hath [2192] a devil [1140], and [2532] is mad [3105]; why [5101] hear ye [191] him [846]? 43 10 21 Others [243] said [3004], These [5023] are [2076] not [3756] the words [4487] of him that hath a devil [1139]. Can [3361] [1410] a devil [1140] open [455] the eyes [3788] of the blind [5185]? 43 10 22 And [1161] it was [1096] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] the feast of the dedication [1456], and [2532] it was [2258] winter [5494]. 43 10 23 And [2532] Jesus [2424] walked [4043] in [1722] the temple [2411] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745]. 43 10 24 Then [3767] came [2944] the Jews [2453] round about [2944] him [846], and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], How long [2193] [4219] dost thou make [142] us [2257] to doubt [5590]? If [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] the Christ [5547], tell [2036] us [2254] plainly [3954]. 43 10 25 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], I told [2036] you [5213], and [2532] ye believed [4100] not [3756]: the works [2041] that [3739] I [1473] do [4160] in [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] name [3686], they [5023] bear witness [3140] of [4012] me [1700]. 43 10 26 But [235] ye [5210] believe [4100] not [3756], because [1063] ye are [2075] not [3756] of [1537] my [1699] sheep [4263], as [2531] I said [2036] unto you [5213]. 43 10 27 My [1699] sheep [4263] hear [191] my [3450] voice [5456], and I [2504] know [1097] them [846], and [2532] they follow [190] me [3427]: 43 10 28 And I [2504] give [1325] unto them [846] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] they shall [622] never [3364] [1519] [165] perish [622], neither [2532] [3756] shall [726] any [5100] man pluck [726] them [846] out of [1537] my [3450] hand [5495]. 43 10 29 My [3450] Father [3962], which [3739] gave [1325] them me [3427], is [2076] greater than [3187] all [3956]; and [2532] no [3762] man is able [1410] to pluck [726] them out of [1537] my [3450] Father's [3962] hand [5495]. 43 10 30 I [1473] and [2532] my Father [3962] are [2070] one [1520]. 43 10 31 Then [3767] the Jews [2453] took up [941] stones [3037] again [3825] to [2443] stone [3034] him [846]. 43 10 32 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Many [4183] good [2570] works [2041] have I shewed [1166] you [5213] from [1537] my [3450] Father [3962]; for [1223] which [4169] of those [846] works [2041] do ye stone [3034] me [3165]? 43 10 33 The Jews [2453] answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], For [4012] a good [2570] work [2041] we stone [3034] thee [4571] not [3756]; but [235] for [4012] blasphemy [988]; and [2532] because [3754] that thou [4771], being [5607] a man [444], makest [4160] thyself [4572] God [2316]. 43 10 34 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Is it [2076] not [3756] written [1125] in [1722] your [5216] law [3551], I [1473] said [2036], Ye are [2075] gods [2316]? 43 10 35 If [1487] he called [2036] them [1565] gods [2316], unto [4314] whom [3739] the word [3056] of God [2316] came [1096], and [2532] the scripture [1124] cannot [3756] [1410] be broken [3089]; 43 10 36 Say [3004] ye [5210] of him, whom [3739] the Father [3962] hath sanctified [37], and [2532] sent [649] into [1519] the world [2889], [3754] Thou blasphemest [987]; because [3754] I said [2036], I am [1510] the Son [5207] of God [2316]? 43 10 37 If [1487] I do [4160] not [3756] the works [2041] of my [3450] Father [3962], believe [4100] me [3427] not [3361]. 43 10 38 But [1161] if [1487] I do [4160], though [2579] ye believe [4100] not [3361] me [1698], believe [4100] the works [2041]: that [2443] ye may know [1097], and [2532] believe [4100], that [3754] the Father [3962] is in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] him [846]. 43 10 39 Therefore [3767] they sought [2212] again [3825] to take [4084] him [846]: but [2532] he escaped [1831] out of [1537] their [846] hand [5495], 43 10 40 And [2532] went away [565] again [3825] beyond [4008] Jordan [2446] into [1519] the place [5117] where [3699] John [2491] at first [4412] baptized [907] [2258]; and [2532] there [1563] he abode [3306]. 43 10 41 And [2532] many [4183] resorted [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] said [3004], [3754] John [2491] did [4160] no [3303] [3762] miracle [4592]: but [1161] all things [3956] that [3745] John [2491] spake [2036] of [4012] this man [5127] were [2258] true [227]. 43 10 42 And [2532] many [4183] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846] there [1563]. 43 11 1 Now [1161] a certain [5100] man was [2258] sick [770], named Lazarus [2976], of [575] Bethany [963], [1537] the town [2968] of Mary [3137] and [2532] her [846] sister [79] Martha [3136]. 43 11 2 [1161] (It was [2258] that Mary [3137] which [3588] anointed [218] the Lord [2962] with ointment [3464], and [2532] wiped [1591] his [846] feet [4228] with her [846] hair [2359], whose [3739] brother [80] Lazarus [2976] was sick [770] 43 11 3 Therefore [3767] his sisters [79] sent [649] unto [4314] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], behold [2396], he whom [3739] thou lovest [5368] is sick [770]. 43 11 4 When [1161] Jesus [2424] heard [191] that, he said [2036], This [3778] sickness [769] is [2076] not [3756] unto [4314] death [2288], but [235] for [5228] the glory [1391] of God [2316], that [2443] the Son [5207] of God [2316] might be glorified [1392] thereby [1223] [846]. 43 11 5 Now [1161] Jesus [2424] loved [25] Martha [3136], and [2532] her [846] sister [79], and [2532] Lazarus [2976]. 43 11 6 When [5613] he had heard [191] therefore [3767] that [3754] he was sick [770], he abode [3306] two [1417] days [2250] still [5119] [3303] in [1722] the same place [5117] where [3739] he was [2258]. 43 11 7 Then [1899] after [3326] that [5124] saith he [3004] to his disciples [3101], Let us go [71] into [1519] Judaea [2449] again [3825]. 43 11 8 His disciples [3101] say [3004] unto him [846], Master [4461], the Jews [2453] of late [3568] sought [2212] to stone [3034] thee [4571]; and [2532] goest thou [5217] thither [1563] again [3825]? 43 11 9 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Are there [1526] not [3780] twelve [1427] hours [5610] in the day [2250]? If [1437] any man [5100] walk [4043] in [1722] the day [2250], he stumbleth [4350] not [3756], because [3754] he seeth [991] the light [5457] of this [5127] world [2889]. 43 11 10 But [1161] if [1437] a man [5100] walk [4043] in [1722] the night [3571], he stumbleth [4350], because [3754] there is [2076] no [3756] light [5457] in [1722] him [846]. 43 11 11 These things [5023] said [2036] he [846]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5124] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Our [2257] friend [5384] Lazarus [2976] sleepeth [2837]; but [235] I go [4198], that [2443] I may awake [1852] him [846] out of sleep [1852]. 43 11 12 Then [3767] said [2036] his [846] disciples [3101], Lord [2962], if [1487] he sleep [2837], he shall do well [4982]. 43 11 13 Howbeit [1161] Jesus [2424] spake [2046] of [4012] his [846] death [2288]: but [1161] they [1565] thought [1380] that [3754] he had spoken [3004] of [4012] taking of rest [2838] in sleep [5258]. 43 11 14 Then [5119] [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846] plainly [3954], Lazarus [2976] is dead [599]. 43 11 15 And [2532] I am glad [5463] for [1223] your sakes [5209] that [3754] I was [2252] [2258] not [3756] there [1563], to the intent [2443] ye may believe [4100]; nevertheless [235] let us go [71] unto [4314] him [846]. 43 11 16 Then [3767] said [2036] Thomas [2381], which [3588] is called [3004] Didymus [1324], unto his fellowdisciples [4827], Let us [71] also [2532] go [71], that [2443] we [2249] may die [599] with [3326] him [846]. 43 11 17 Then [3767] when Jesus [2424] came [2064], he found [2147] that he [846] had [2192] lain in [1722] the grave [3419] four [5064] days [2250] already [2235]. 43 11 18 Now [1161] Bethany [963] was [2258] nigh [1451] unto Jerusalem [2414], about [5613] fifteen [1178] furlongs [4712] off [575]: 43 11 19 And [2532] many [4183] of [1537] the Jews [2453] came [2064] to [4314] Martha [3136] and [2532] Mary [3137] [4012], to [2443] comfort [3888] them [846] concerning [4012] their [846] brother [80]. 43 11 20 Then [3767] Martha [3136], as soon as [5613] she heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was coming [2064], went and met [5221] him [846]: but [1161] Mary [3137] sat [2516] still in [1722] the house [3624]. 43 11 21 Then [3767] said [2036] Martha [3136] unto [4314] Jesus [2424], Lord [2962], if [1487] thou hadst been [2258] here [5602], my [3450] brother [80] [302] had [2348] not [3756] died [2348]. 43 11 22 But [235] I know [1492], that even [2532] now [3568], whatsoever [3754] [3745] [302] thou wilt ask [154] of God [2316], God [2316] will give [1325] it thee [4671]. 43 11 23 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Thy [4675] brother [80] shall rise again [450]. 43 11 24 Martha [3136] saith [3004] unto him [846], I know [1492] that [3754] he shall rise again [450] in [1722] the resurrection [386] at [1722] the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 11 25 Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto her [846], I [1473] am [1510] the resurrection [386], and [2532] the life [2222]: he that believeth [4100] in [1519] me [1691], though [2579] he were dead [599], yet shall he live [2198]: 43 11 26 And [2532] whosoever [3956] liveth [2198] and [2532] believeth [4100] in [1519] me [1691] shall [599] never [3364] [1519] [165] die [599]. Believest thou [4100] this [5124]? 43 11 27 She saith [3004] unto him [846], Yea [3483], Lord [2962]: I [1473] believe [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316], which [3588] should come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889]. 43 11 28 And [2532] when she had [2036] so [5023] said [2036], she went her way [565], and [2532] called [5455] Mary [3137] her [846] sister [79] secretly [2977], saying [2036], The Master [1320] is come [3918], and [2532] calleth for [5455] thee [4571]. 43 11 29 As soon as [5613] she [1565] heard [191] that, she arose [1453] quickly [5035], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] him [846]. 43 11 30 Now [1161] Jesus [2424] was [2064] not yet [3768] come [2064] into [1519] the town [2968], but [235] was [2258] in [1722] that place [5117] where [3699] Martha [3136] met [5221] him [846]. 43 11 31 The Jews [2453] then [3767] which [3588] were [5607] with [3326] her [846] in [1722] the house [3614], and [2532] comforted [3888] her [846], when they saw [1492] Mary [3137], that [3754] she rose up [450] hastily [5030] and [2532] went out [1831], followed [190] her [846], saying [3004], [3754] She goeth [5217] unto [1519] the grave [3419] to [2443] weep [2799] there [1563]. 43 11 32 Then [3767] when [5613] Mary [3137] was come [2064] where [3699] Jesus [2424] was [2258], and saw [1492] him [846], she fell down [4098] at [1519] his [846] feet [4228], saying [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], if [1487] thou hadst been [2258] here [5602], my [3450] brother [80] had [302] not [3756] died [599]. 43 11 33 When [5613] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] her [846] weeping [2799], and [2532] the Jews [2453] also weeping [2799] which came [4905] with her [846], he groaned [1690] in the spirit [4151], and [2532] was troubled [5015] [1438], 43 11 34 And [2532] said [2036], Where [4226] have ye laid [5087] him [846]? They said [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], come [2064] and [2532] see [1492]. 43 11 35 Jesus [2424] wept [1145]. 43 11 36 Then [3767] said [3004] the Jews [2453], Behold [2396] how [4459] he loved [5368] him [846]! 43 11 37 And [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] said [2036], Could [1410] not [3756] this man [3778], which [3588] opened [455] the eyes [3788] of the blind [5185], have caused [4160] that [2443] even [2532] this man [3778] should [599] not [3361] have died [599]? 43 11 38 Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] again [3825] groaning [1690] in [1722] himself [1438] cometh [2064] to [1519] the grave [3419]. [1161] It was [2258] a cave [4693], and [2532] a stone [3037] lay [1945] upon [1909] it [846]. 43 11 39 Jesus [2424] said [3004], Take ye away [142] the stone [3037]. Martha [3136], the sister [79] of him that was dead [2348], saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], by this time [2235] he stinketh [3605]: for [1063] he hath been [2076] dead four days [5066]. 43 11 40 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Said I [2036] not [3756] unto thee [4671], that [3754], if [1437] thou wouldest believe [4100], thou shouldest see [3700] the glory [1391] of God [2316]? 43 11 41 Then [3767] they took away [142] the stone [3037] from the place where [3757] the dead [2348] was [2258] laid [2749]. And [1161] Jesus [2424] lifted [142] up [507] his eyes [3788], and [2532] said [2036], Father [3962], I thank [2168] thee [4671] that [3754] thou hast heard [191] me [3450]. 43 11 42 And [1161] I [1473] knew [1492] that [3754] thou hearest [191] me [3450] always [3842]: but [235] because [1223] of the people [3793] which [3588] stand by [4026] I said [2036] it, that [2443] they may believe [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165]. 43 11 43 And [2532] when he thus [5023] had spoken [2036], he cried [2905] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Lazarus [2976], come [1204] forth [1854]. 43 11 44 And [2532] he that was dead [2348] came forth [1831], bound [1210] hand [5495] and [2532] foot [4228] with graveclothes [2750]: and [2532] his [846] face [3799] was bound about [4019] with a napkin [4676]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Loose [3089] him [846], and [2532] let him [863] go [5217]. 43 11 45 Then [3767] many [4183] of [1537] the Jews [2453] which [3588] came [2064] to [4314] Mary [3137], and [2532] had seen [2300] the things which [3739] Jesus [2424] did [4160], believed [4100] on [1519] him [846]. 43 11 46 But [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] went their ways [565] to [4314] the Pharisees [5330], and [2532] told [2036] them [846] what things [3739] Jesus [2424] had done [4160]. 43 11 47 Then [3767] gathered [4863] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] a council [4892], and [2532] said [3004], What [5101] do we [4160]? for [3754] this [3778] man [444] doeth [4160] many [4183] miracles [4592]. 43 11 48 If [1437] we let [863] him [846] thus [3779] alone [863], all [3956] men will believe [4100] on [1519] him [846]: and [2532] the Romans [4514] shall come [2064] and [2532] take away [142] both [2532] our [2257] place [5117] and [2532] nation [1484]. 43 11 49 And [1161] one [1520] [5100] of [1537] them [846], named Caiaphas [2533], being [5607] the high priest [749] that same [1565] year [1763], said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] know [1492] nothing at all [3756] [3762], 43 11 50 Nor [3761] consider [1260] that [3754] it is expedient [4851] for us [2254], that [2443] one [1520] man [444] should die [599] for [5228] the people [2992], and [2532] that the whole [3650] nation [1484] perish [622] not [3361]. 43 11 51 And [1161] this [5124] spake he [2036] not [3756] of [575] himself [1438]: but [235] being [5607] high priest [749] that [1565] year [1763], he prophesied [4395] that [3754] Jesus [2424] should [3195] die [599] for that [5228] nation [1484]; 43 11 52 And [2532] not [3756] for that [5228] nation [1484] only [3440], but [235] that [2443] also [2532] he should gather together [4863] in [1519] one [1520] the children [5043] of God [2316] that were scattered abroad [1287]. 43 11 53 Then [3767] from [575] that [1565] day [2250] forth they took counsel together [4823] for to [2443] put [615] him [846] to death [615]. 43 11 54 Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] walked [4043] no more [3765] openly [3954] among [1722] the Jews [2453]; but [235] went [565] thence [1564] unto [1519] a country [5561] near [1451] to the wilderness [2048], into [1519] a city [4172] called [3004] Ephraim [2187], and there [2546] continued [1304] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101]. 43 11 55 And [1161] the Jews [2453]' passover [3957] was [2258] nigh at hand [1451]: and [2532] many [4183] went [305] out of [1537] the country [5561] up [1519] to Jerusalem [2414] before [4253] the passover [3957], to [2443] purify [48] themselves [1438]. 43 11 56 Then [3767] sought they for [2212] Jesus [2424], and [2532] spake [3004] among [3326] themselves [240], as they stood [2476] in [1722] the temple [2411], What [5101] think [1380] ye [5213], that [3754] he will [2064] not [3364] come [2064] to [1519] the feast [1859]? 43 11 57 Now [1161] both [2532] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the Pharisees [5330] had given [1325] a commandment [1785], that [2443], if [1437] any man [5100] knew [1097] where [4226] he were [2076], he should shew [3377] it, that [3704] they might take [4084] him [846]. 43 12 1 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] six [1803] days [2250] before [4253] the passover [3957] came [2064] to [1519] Bethany [963], where [3699] Lazarus [2976] was [2258] which [3588] had been dead [2348], whom [3739] he raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 43 12 2 There [1563] [3767] they made [4160] him [846] a supper [1173]; and [2532] Martha [3136] served [1247]: but [1161] Lazarus [2976] was [2258] one [1520] of them that sat at the table [4873] with him [846]. 43 12 3 Then [3767] took [2983] Mary [3137] a pound [3046] of ointment [3464] of spikenard [3487] [4101], very costly [4186], and anointed [218] the feet [4228] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] wiped [1591] his [846] feet [4228] with her [846] hair [2359]: and [1161] the house [3614] was filled [4137] with [1537] the odour [3744] of the ointment [3464]. 43 12 4 Then [3767] saith [3004] one [1520] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101], Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], Simon's [4613] son, which [3588] should [3195] betray [3860] him [846], 43 12 5 Why [1302] was [4097] not [3756] this [5124] ointment [3464] sold [4097] for three hundred [5145] pence [1220], and [2532] given [1325] to the poor [4434]? 43 12 6 [1161] This [5124] he said [2036], not [3756] that [3754] he [846] cared [3199] for [4012] the poor [4434]; but [235] because [3754] he was [2258] a thief [2812], and [2532] had [2192] the bag [1101], and [2532] bare [941] what was put therein [906]. 43 12 7 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424], Let [863] her [846] alone [863]: against [1519] the day [2250] of my [3450] burying [1780] hath she kept [5083] this [846]. 43 12 8 For [1063] the poor [4434] always [3842] ye have [2192] with [3326] you [1438]; but [1161] me [1691] ye have [2192] not [3756] always [3842]. 43 12 9 Much [4183] people [3793] of [1537] the Jews [2453] therefore [3767] knew [1097] that [3754] he was [2076] there [1563]: and [2532] they came [2064] not [3756] for [1223] Jesus [2424]' sake only [3440], but [235] that [2443] they might see [1492] Lazarus [2976] also [2532], whom [3739] he had raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 43 12 10 But [1161] the chief priests [749] consulted [1011] that [2443] they might put [615] Lazarus [2976] also [2532] to death [615]; 43 12 11 Because [3754] that by reason [1223] of him [846] many [4183] of the Jews [2453] went away [5217], and [2532] believed [4100] on [1519] Jesus [2424]. 43 12 12 On the next day [1887] much [4183] people [3793] that were come [2064] to [1519] the feast [1859], when they heard [191] that [3754] Jesus [2424] was coming [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], 43 12 13 Took [2983] branches [902] of palm trees [5404], and [2532] went forth [1831] to [1519] meet [5222] him [846], and [2532] cried [2896], Hosanna [5614]: Blessed [2127] is the King [935] of Israel [2474] that cometh [2064] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. 43 12 14 And [1161] Jesus [2424], when he had found [2147] a young ass [3678], sat [2523] thereon [1909] [846]; as [2531] it is [2076] written [1125], 43 12 15 Fear [5399] not [3361], daughter [2364] of Sion [4622]: behold [2400], thy [4675] King [935] cometh [2064], sitting [2521] on [1909] an ass's [3688] colt [4454]. 43 12 16 [1161] These things [5023] understood [1097] not [3756] his [846] disciples [3101] at the first [4412]: but [235] when [3753] Jesus [2424] was glorified [1392], then [5119] remembered they [3415] that [3754] these things [5023] were [2258] written [1125] of [1909] him [846], and [2532] that they had done [4160] these things [5023] unto him [846]. 43 12 17 The people [3793] therefore [3767] that was [5607] with [3326] him [846] when [3753] he called [5455] Lazarus [2976] out of [1537] his grave [3419], and [2532] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], bare record [3140]. 43 12 18 For this [5124] cause [1223] the people [3793] also [2532] met [5221] him [846], for that [3754] they heard [191] that [846] he had done [4160] this [5124] miracle [4592]. 43 12 19 The Pharisees [5330] therefore [3767] said [2036] among [4314] themselves [1438], Perceive ye [2334] how [3754] ye prevail [5623] nothing [3756] [3762]? behold [2396], the world [2889] is gone [565] after [3694] him [846]. 43 12 20 And [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] Greeks [1672] among [1537] them that came up [305] to [2443] worship [4352] at [1722] the feast [1859]: 43 12 21 The same [3778] came [4334] therefore [3767] to Philip [5376], which was of [575] Bethsaida [966] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] desired [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Sir [2962], we would [2309] see [1492] Jesus [2424]. 43 12 22 Philip [5376] cometh [2064] and [2532] telleth [3004] Andrew [406]: and [2532] again [3825] Andrew [406] and [2532] Philip [5376] tell [3004] Jesus [2424]. 43 12 23 And [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], saying [3004], The hour [5610] is come [2064], that [2443] the Son [5207] of man [444] should be glorified [1392]. 43 12 24 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Except [3362] a corn [2848] of wheat [4621] fall [4098] into [1519] the ground [1093] and die [599], it [846] abideth [3306] alone [3441]: but [1161] if [1437] it die [599], it bringeth forth [5342] much [4183] fruit [2590]. 43 12 25 He that loveth [5368] his [846] life [5590] shall lose [622] it [846]; and [2532] he that hateth [3404] his [846] life [5590] in [1722] this [5129] world [2889] shall keep [5442] it [846] unto [1519] life [2222] eternal [166]. 43 12 26 If [1437] any man [5100] serve [1247] me [1698], let him follow [190] me [1698]; and [2532] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], there [1563] shall [2071] also [2532] my [1699] servant [1249] be [2071]: [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] serve [1247] me [1698], him [846] will [5091] my Father [3962] honour [5091]. 43 12 27 Now [3568] is [5015] my [3450] soul [5590] troubled [5015]; and [2532] what [5101] shall I say [2036]? Father [3962], save [4982] me [3165] from [1537] this [5026] hour [5610]: but [235] for this [5124] cause [1223] came I [2064] unto [1519] this [5026] hour [5610]. 43 12 28 Father [3962], glorify [1392] thy [4675] name [3686]. Then [3767] came there [2064] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying, I have [1392] both [2532] glorified [1392] it, and [2532] will glorify [1392] it again [3825]. 43 12 29 The people [3793] therefore [3767], that stood by [2476], and [2532] heard [191] it, said [3004] that it thundered [1096] [1027]: others [243] said [3004], An angel [32] spake [2980] to him [846]. 43 12 30 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036], This [3778] voice [5456] came [1096] not [3756] because of [1223] me [1691], but [235] for [1223] your sakes [5209] [1223]. 43 12 31 Now [3568] is [2076] the judgment [2920] of this [5127] world [2889]: now [3568] shall [1544] the prince [758] of this [5127] world [2889] be cast [1544] out [1854]. 43 12 32 And I [2504], if [1437] I be lifted up [5312] from [1537] the earth [1093], will draw [1670] all [3956] men unto [4314] me [1683]. 43 12 33 [1161] This [5124] he said [3004], signifying [4591] what [4169] death [2288] he should [3195] die [599]. 43 12 34 The people [3793] answered [611] him [846], We [2249] have heard [191] out of [1537] the law [3551] that [3754] Christ [5547] abideth [3306] for [1519] ever [165]: and [2532] how [4459] sayest [3004] thou [4771], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] be lifted up [5312]? who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] Son [5207] of man [444]? 43 12 35 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Yet [2089] a little [3398] while [5550] is [2076] the light [5457] with [3326] you [5216]. Walk [4043] while [2193] ye have [2192] the light [5457], lest [3363] darkness [4653] come upon [2638] you [5209]: for [2532] he that walketh [4043] in [1722] darkness [4653] knoweth [1492] not [3756] whither [4226] he goeth [5217]. 43 12 36 While [2193] ye have [2192] light [5457], believe [4100] in [1519] the light [5457], that [2443] ye may be [1096] the children [5207] of light [5457]. These things [5023] spake [2980] Jesus [2424], and departed [565], and [2532] did hide himself [2928] from [575] them [846]. 43 12 37 But [1161] though he [846] had done [4160] so many [5118] miracles [4592] before [1715] them [846], yet they believed [4100] not [3756] on [1519] him [846]: 43 12 38 That [2443] the saying [3056] of Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3739] he spake [2036], Lord [2962], who [5101] hath believed [4100] our [2257] report [189]? and [2532] to whom [5101] hath the arm [1023] of the Lord [2962] been revealed [601]? 43 12 39 Therefore [5124] [1223] they could [1410] not [3756] believe [4100], because [3754] that Esaias [2268] said [2036] again [3825], 43 12 40 He hath blinded [5186] their [846] eyes [3788], and [2532] hardened [4456] their [846] heart [2588]; that [3363] they should [1492] not [3363] see [1492] with their eyes [3788], nor [2532] understand [3539] with their heart [2588], and [2532] be converted [1994], and [2532] I should heal [2390] them [846]. 43 12 41 These things [5023] said [2036] Esaias [2268], when [3753] he saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] spake [2980] of [4012] him [846]. 43 12 42 Nevertheless [3676] [3305] among [1537] the chief rulers [758] also [2532] many [4183] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846]; but [235] because [1223] of the Pharisees [5330] they did [3670] not [3756] confess [3670] him, lest [3363] they should be [1096] put out of the synagogue [656]: 43 12 43 For [1063] they loved [25] the praise [1391] of men [444] more [3123] than [2260] the praise [1391] of God [2316]. 43 12 44 [1161] Jesus [2424] cried [2896] and [2532] said [2036], He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691], believeth [4100] not [3756] on [1519] me [1691], but [235] on [1519] him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 12 45 And [2532] he that seeth [2334] me [1691] seeth [2334] him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 12 46 I [1473] am come [2064] a light [5457] into [1519] the world [2889], that [3363] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691] should [3306] not [3363] abide [3306] in [1722] darkness [4653]. 43 12 47 And [2532] if [3362] any man [5100] hear [191] my [3450] words [4487], and [2532] believe [4100] not [3362], I [1473] judge [2919] him [846] not [3756]: for [1063] I came [2064] not [3756] to [2443] judge [2919] the world [2889], but [235] to [2443] save [4982] the world [2889]. 43 12 48 He that rejecteth [114] me [1691], and [2532] receiveth [2983] not [3361] my [3450] words [4487], hath [2192] one that judgeth [2919] him [846]: the word [3056] that [3739] I have spoken [2980], the same [1565] shall judge [2919] him [846] in [1722] the last [2078] day [2250]. 43 12 49 For [3754] I [1473] have [2980] not [3756] spoken [2980] of [1537] myself [1683]; but [235] the Father [3962] which sent [3992] me [3165], he [846] gave [1325] me [3427] a commandment [1785], what [5101] I should say [2036], and [2532] what [5101] I should speak [2980]. 43 12 50 And [2532] I know [1492] that [3754] his [846] commandment [1785] is [2076] life [2222] everlasting [166]: whatsoever [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] therefore [3767], even as [2531] the Father [3962] said [2046] unto me [3427], so [3779] I speak [2980]. 43 13 1 Now [1161] before [4253] the feast [1859] of the passover [3957], when Jesus [2424] knew [1492] that [3754] his [846] hour [5610] was come [2064] that [2443] he should depart [3327] out of [1537] this [5127] world [2889] unto [4314] the Father [3962], having loved [25] his own [2398] which [3588] were in [1722] the world [2889], he loved [25] them [846] unto [1519] the end [5056]. 43 13 2 And [2532] supper [1173] being ended [1096], the devil [1228] having now [2235] put [906] into [1519] the heart [2588] of Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], Simon's [4613] son, to [2443] betray [3860] him [846]; 43 13 3 Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] that [3754] the Father [3962] had given [1325] all things [3956] into [1519] his [846] hands [5495], and [2532] that [3754] he was come [1831] from [575] God [2316], and [2532] went [5217] to [4314] God [2316]; 43 13 4 He riseth [1453] from [1537] supper [1173], and [2532] laid aside [5087] his garments [2440]; and [2532] took [2983] a towel [3012], and girded [1241] himself [1438]. 43 13 5 After that [1534] he poureth [906] water [5204] into [1519] a bason [3537], and [2532] began [756] to wash [3538] the disciples [3101]' feet [4228], and [2532] to wipe [1591] them with the towel [3012] wherewith [3739] he was [2258] girded [1241]. 43 13 6 Then [3767] cometh he [2064] to [4314] Simon [4613] Peter [4074]: and [2532] Peter [1565] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], dost [3538] thou [4771] wash [3538] my [3450] feet [4228]? 43 13 7 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], What [3739] I [1473] do [4160] thou [4771] knowest [1492] not [3756] now [737]; but [1161] thou shalt know [1097] hereafter [3326] [5023]. 43 13 8 Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thou shalt [3538] never [1519] [165] [3364] wash [3538] my [3450] feet [4228]. Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], If [3362] I wash [3538] thee [4571] not [3362], thou hast [2192] no [3756] part [3313] with [3326] me [1700]. 43 13 9 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], not [3361] my [3450] feet [4228] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] my hands [5495] and [2532] my head [2776]. 43 13 10 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] to him [846], He that is washed [3068] needeth [5532] not [3756] [2192] save [2228] to wash [3538] his feet [4228], but [235] is [2076] clean [2513] every whit [3650]: and [2532] ye [5210] are [2075] clean [2513], but [235] not [3780] all [3956]. 43 13 11 For [1063] he knew [1492] who [3588] should betray [3860] him [846]; therefore [5124] [1223] said he [2036], Ye are [2075] not [3780] all [3956] clean [2513]. 43 13 12 So [3767] after [3753] he had washed [3538] their [846] feet [4228], and [2532] had taken [2983] his [846] garments [2440], and was set down [377] again [3825], he said [2036] unto them [846], Know ye [1097] what [5101] I have done [4160] to you [5213]? 43 13 13 Ye [5210] call [5455] me [3165] Master [1320] and [2532] Lord [2962]: and [2532] ye say [3004] well [2573]; for [1063] so I am [1510]. 43 13 14 If [1487] I [1473] then [3767], your Lord [2962] and [2532] Master [1320], have washed [3538] your [5216] feet [4228]; ye [5210] also [2532] ought [3784] to wash [3538] one another's [240] feet [4228]. 43 13 15 For [1063] I have given [1325] you [5213] an example [5262], that [2443] ye [5210] should do [4160] as [2531] [2532] I [1473] have done [4160] to you [5213]. 43 13 16 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]; neither [3761] he that is sent [652] greater than [3187] he that sent [3992] him [846]. 43 13 17 If [1487] ye know [1492] these things [5023], happy [3107] are ye [2075] if [1437] ye do [4160] them [846]. 43 13 18 I speak [3004] not [3756] of [4012] you [5216] all [3956]: I [1473] know [1492] whom [3739] I have chosen [1586]: but [235] that [2443] the scripture [1124] may be fulfilled [4137], He that eateth [5176] bread [740] with [3326] me [1700] hath lifted up [1869] his [846] heel [4418] against [1909] me [1691]. 43 13 19 Now [575] [737] I tell [3004] you [5213] before [4253] it come [1096], that [2443], when [3752] it is come to pass [1096], ye may believe [4100] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he. 43 13 20 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that receiveth [2983] whomsoever [1437] [5100] I send [3992] receiveth [2983] me [1691]; and [1161] he that receiveth [2983] me [1691] receiveth [2983] him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 13 21 When Jesus [2424] had [2036] thus [5023] said [2036], he was troubled [5015] in spirit [4151], and [2532] testified [3140], and [2532] said [2036], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] one [1520] of [1537] you [5216] shall betray [3860] me [3165]. 43 13 22 Then [3767] the disciples [3101] looked [991] one on another [1519] [240], doubting [639] of [4012] whom [5101] he spake [3004]. 43 13 23 Now [1161] there was [2258] leaning [345] on [1722] Jesus [2424]' bosom [2859] one [1520] of his [846] disciples [3101], whom [3739] Jesus [2424] loved [25]. 43 13 24 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] therefore [3767] beckoned [3506] to him [5129], that he should ask [4441] who [5101] it should [302] be [1498] of [4012] whom [3739] he spake [3004]. 43 13 25 He [1565] then [1161] lying on [1968] [1909] Jesus [2424]' breast [4738] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], who [5101] is it [2076]? 43 13 26 Jesus [2424] answered [611], He [1565] it is [2076], to whom [3739] I shall give [1929] a sop [5596], when I [1473] have dipped [911] it. And [2532] when he had dipped [1686] the sop [5596], he gave [1325] it to Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], the son of Simon [4613]. 43 13 27 And [2532] after [3326] the sop [5596] [5119] Satan [4567] entered [1525] into [1519] him [1565]. Then [3767] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], That [3739] thou doest [4160], do [4160] quickly [5032]. 43 13 28 Now [1161] no man [3762] at the table [345] knew [1097] for what [4314] intent [5101] he spake [2036] this [5124] unto him [846]. 43 13 29 For [1063] some [5100] of them thought [1380], because [1893] Judas [2455] had [2192] the bag [1101], that [3754] Jesus [2424] had said [3004] unto him [846], Buy [59] those things that [3739] we have [2192] need of [5532] against [1519] the feast [1859]; or [2228], that [2443] he should give [1325] something [5100] to the poor [4434]. 43 13 30 He [1565] then [3767] having received [2983] the sop [5596] went [1831] immediately [2112] out [1831]: and [1161] it was [2258] night [3571]. 43 13 31 Therefore [3767], when [3753] he was gone out [1831], Jesus [2424] said [3004], Now [3568] is [1392] the Son [5207] of man [444] glorified [1392], and [2532] God [2316] is glorified [1392] in [1722] him [846]. 43 13 32 If [1487] God [2316] be glorified [1392] in [1722] him [846], God [2316] shall [1392] also [2532] glorify [1392] him [846] in [1722] himself [1438], and [2532] shall [1392] straightway [2117] glorify [1392] him [846]. 43 13 33 Little children [5040], yet [2089] a little while [3397] I am [1510] with [3326] you [5216]. Ye shall seek [2212] me [3165]: and [2532] as [2531] I said [2036] unto the Jews [2453], [3754] Whither [3699] I [1473] go [5217], ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] come [2064]; so [2532] now [737] I say [3004] to you [5213]. 43 13 34 A new [2537] commandment [1785] I give [1325] unto you [5213], That [2443] ye love [25] one another [240]; as [2531] I have loved [25] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] also [2532] love [25] one another [240]. 43 13 35 By [1722] this [5129] shall [1097] all [3956] men know [1097] that [3754] ye are [2075] my [1699] disciples [3101], if [1437] ye have [2192] love [26] one to another [1722] [240]. 43 13 36 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] said [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], whither [4226] goest [5217] thou? Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], Whither [3699] I go [5217], thou canst [1410] not [3756] follow [190] me [3427] now [3568]; but [1161] thou shalt follow [190] me [3427] afterwards [5305]. 43 13 37 Peter [4074] said [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], why [1302] cannot [3756] [1410] I follow [190] thee [4671] now [737]? I will lay down [5087] my [3450] life [5590] for [5228] thy sake [4675]. 43 13 38 Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], Wilt thou lay down [5087] thy [4675] life [5590] for [5228] my sake [1700]? Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], The cock [220] shall [5455] not [3364] crow [5455], till [2193] [3739] thou hast denied [533] me [3165] thrice [5151]. 43 14 1 Let [5015] not [3361] your [5216] heart [2588] be troubled [5015]: ye believe [4100] in [1519] God [2316], believe [4100] also [2532] in [1519] me [1691]. 43 14 2 In [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] house [3614] are [1526] many [4183] mansions [3438]: if it were not [1490] so, I would have told [302] [2036] you [5213]. I go [4198] to prepare [2090] a place [5117] for you [5213]. 43 14 3 And [2532] if [1437] I go [4198] and [2532] prepare [2090] a place [5117] for you [5213], I will come [2064] again [3825], and [2532] receive [3880] you [5209] unto [4314] myself [1683]; that [2443] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], there ye [5210] may be [5600] also [2532]. 43 14 4 And [2532] whither [3699] I [1473] go [5217] ye know [1492], and [2532] the way [3598] ye know [1492]. 43 14 5 Thomas [2381] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], we know [1492] not [3756] whither [4226] thou goest [5217]; and [2532] how [4459] can we [1410] know [1492] the way [3598]? 43 14 6 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], I [1473] am [1510] the way [3598], [2532] the truth [225], and [2532] the life [2222]: no man [3762] cometh [2064] unto [4314] the Father [3962], but [1508] by [1223] me [1700]. 43 14 7 If [1487] ye had known [1097] me [3165], [302] ye should have known [1097] my [3450] Father [3962] also [2532]: and [2532] from [575] henceforth [737] ye know [1097] him [846], and [2532] have seen [3708] him [846]. 43 14 8 Philip [5376] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], shew [1166] us [2254] the Father [3962], and [2532] it sufficeth [714] us [2254]. 43 14 9 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Have I been [1510] so long [5118] time [5550] with [3326] you [5216], and yet [2532] hast thou [1097] not [3756] known [1097] me [3165], Philip [5376]? he that hath seen [3708] me [1691] hath seen [3708] the Father [3962]; and [2532] how [4459] sayest [3004] thou [4771] then, Shew [1166] us [2254] the Father [3962]? 43 14 10 Believest thou [4100] not [3756] that [3754] I [1473] am [2076] in [1722] the Father [3962], and [2532] the Father [3962] in [1722] me [1698]? the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213] I speak [2980] not [3756] of [575] myself [1683]: but [1161] the Father [3962] that dwelleth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], he [846] doeth [4160] the works [2041]. 43 14 11 Believe [4100] me [3427] that [3754] I [1473] am in [1722] the Father [3962], and [2532] the Father [3962] in [1722] me [1698]: or else [1490] believe [4100] me [3427] for [1223] the very [846] works [2041]' sake [846]. 43 14 12 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that believeth [4100] on [1519] me [1691], the works [2041] that [3739] I [1473] do [4160] shall he do [4160] also [2548]; and [2532] greater works than [3187] these [5130] shall he do [4160]; because [3754] I [1473] go [4198] unto [4314] my [3450] Father [3962]. 43 14 13 And [3739] [2532] whatsoever [3748] [302] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], that [5124] will I do [4160], that [2443] the Father [3962] may be glorified [1392] in [1722] the Son [5207]. 43 14 14 If [1437] ye shall ask [154] any thing [5100] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], I [1473] will do [4160] it. 43 14 15 If [1437] ye love [25] me [3165], keep [5083] my [1699] commandments [1785]. 43 14 16 And [2532] I [1473] will pray [2065] the Father [3962], and [2532] he shall give [1325] you [5213] another [243] Comforter [3875], that [2443] he may abide [3306] with [3326] you [5216] for [1519] ever [165]; 43 14 17 Even the Spirit [4151] of truth [225]; whom [3739] the world [2889] cannot [3756] [1410] receive [2983], because [3754] it seeth [2334] him [846] not [3756], neither [3761] knoweth [1097] him [846]: but [1161] ye [5210] know [1097] him [846]; for [3754] he dwelleth [3306] with [3844] you [5213], and [2532] shall be [2071] in [1722] you [5213]. 43 14 18 I will [863] not [3756] leave [863] you [5209] comfortless [3737]: I will come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. 43 14 19 Yet [2089] a little while [3397], and [2532] the world [2889] seeth [2334] me [3165] no more [3765]; but [1161] ye [5210] see [2334] me [3165]: because [3754] I [1473] live [2198], ye [5210] shall live [2198] also [2532]. 43 14 20 At [1722] that [1565] day [2250] ye [5210] shall know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] am in [1722] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] ye [5210] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] you [5213]. 43 14 21 He that hath [2192] my [3450] commandments [1785], and [2532] keepeth [5083] them [846], he [1565] it is [2076] that loveth [25] me [3165]: and [1161] he that loveth [25] me [3165] shall be loved [25] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] I [1473] will love [25] him [846], and [2532] will manifest [1718] myself [1683] to him [846]. 43 14 22 Judas [2455] saith [3004] unto him [846], not [3756] Iscariot [2469], Lord [2962], how [5101] is it [1096] that [3754] thou wilt [3195] manifest [1718] thyself [4572] unto us [2254], and [2532] not [3780] unto the world [2889]? 43 14 23 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], If [1437] a man [5100] love [25] me [3165], he will keep [5083] my [3450] words [3056]: and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962] will love [25] him [846], and [2532] we will come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], and [2532] make [4160] our abode [3438] with [3844] him [846]. 43 14 24 He that loveth [25] me [3165] not [3361] keepeth [5083] not [3756] my [3450] sayings [3056]: and [2532] the word [3056] which [3739] ye hear [191] is [2076] not [3756] mine [1699], but [235] the Father's [3962] which [3588] sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 14 25 These things [5023] have I spoken [2980] unto you [5213], being yet present [3306] with [3844] you [5213]. 43 14 26 But [1161] the Comforter [3875], which is the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], whom [3739] the Father [3962] will send [3992] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], he [1565] shall teach [1321] you [5209] all things [3956], and [2532] bring [5279] all things [3956] to [5279] your [5209] remembrance [5279], whatsoever [3739] I have said [2036] unto you [5213]. 43 14 27 Peace [1515] I leave [863] with you [5213], my [1699] peace [1515] I give [1325] unto you [5213]: not [3756] as [2531] the world [2889] giveth [1325], give [1325] I [1473] unto you [5213]. Let [5015] not [3361] your [5216] heart [2588] be troubled [5015], neither [3366] let it be afraid [1168]. 43 14 28 Ye have heard [191] how [3754] I [1473] said [2036] unto you [5213], I go away [5217], and [2532] come [2064] again unto [4314] you [5209]. If [1487] ye loved [25] me [3165], [302] ye would rejoice [5463], because [3754] I said [2036], I go [4198] unto [4314] the Father [3962]: for [3754] my [3450] Father [3962] is [2076] greater than [3187] I [3450]. 43 14 29 And [2532] now [3568] I have told [2046] you [5213] before [4250] it come to pass [1096], that [2443], when [3752] it is come to pass [1096], ye might believe [4100]. 43 14 30 Hereafter [3765] I will [2980] not [3765] talk [2980] much [4183] with [3326] you [5216]: for [1063] the prince [758] of this [5127] world [2889] cometh [2064], and [2532] hath [2192] [3756] nothing [3762] in [1722] me [1698]. 43 14 31 But [235] that [2443] the world [2889] may know [1097] that [3754] I love [25] the Father [3962]; and [2532] as [2531] the Father [3962] gave [1781] me [3427] commandment [1781], even so [3779] I do [4160]. Arise [1453], let us go [71] hence [1782]. 43 15 1 I [1473] am [1510] the true [228] vine [288], and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962] is [2076] the husbandman [1092]. 43 15 2 Every [3956] branch [2814] in [1722] me [1698] that [846] beareth [5342] not [3361] fruit [2590] he taketh away [142]: and [2532] every [3956] branch that beareth [5342] fruit [2590], he purgeth [2508] it [846], that [2443] it may bring forth [5342] more [4119] fruit [2590]. 43 15 3 Now [2235] ye [5210] are [2075] clean [2513] through [1223] the word [3056] which [3739] I have spoken [2980] unto you [5213]. 43 15 4 Abide [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] you [5213]. As [2531] the branch [2814] cannot [3756] [1410] bear [5342] fruit [2590] of [575] itself [1438], except [3362] it abide [3306] in [1722] the vine [288]; no more [3761] [3779] can ye [5210], except [3362] ye abide [3306] in [1722] me [1698]. 43 15 5 I [1473] am [1510] the vine [288], ye [5210] are the branches [2814]: He that abideth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] him [846], the same [3778] bringeth forth [5342] much [4183] fruit [2590]: for [3754] without [5565] me [1700] ye can [1410] do [4160] nothing [3756] [3762]. 43 15 6 If [3362] a man [5100] abide [3306] not [3362] in [1722] me [1698], he is cast [906] forth [1854] as [5613] a branch [2814], and [2532] is withered [3583]; and [2532] men gather [4863] them [846], and [2532] cast [906] them into [1519] the fire [4442], and [2532] they are burned [2545]. 43 15 7 If [1437] ye abide [3306] in [1722] me [1698], and [2532] my [3450] words [4487] abide [3306] in [1722] you [5213], ye shall ask [154] what [3739] [1437] ye will [2309], and [2532] it shall be done [1096] unto you [5213]. 43 15 8 Herein [1722] [5129] is [1392] my [3450] Father [3962] glorified [1392], that [2443] ye bear [5342] much [4183] fruit [2590]; so [2532] shall ye be [1096] my [1699] disciples [3101]. 43 15 9 As [2531] the Father [3962] hath loved [25] me [3165], so [2504] have [25] I [2504] loved [25] you [5209]: continue ye [3306] in [1722] my [1699] love [26]. 43 15 10 If [1437] ye keep [5083] my [3450] commandments [1785], ye shall abide [3306] in [1722] my [3450] love [26]; even as [2531] I [1473] have kept [5083] my [3450] Father's [3962] commandments [1785], and [2532] abide [3306] in [1722] his [846] love [26]. 43 15 11 These things [5023] have I spoken [2980] unto you [5213], that [2443] my [1699] joy [5479] might remain [3306] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] that your [5216] joy [5479] might be full [4137]. 43 15 12 This [3778] is [2076] my [1699] commandment [1785], That [2443] ye love [25] one another [240], as [2531] I have loved [25] you [5209]. 43 15 13 Greater [3187] love [26] hath [2192] no man [3762] than [3187] this [5026], that [2443] a man [5100] lay down [5087] his [846] life [5590] for [5228] his [846] friends [5384]. 43 15 14 Ye [5210] are [2075] my [3450] friends [5384], if [1437] ye do [4160] whatsoever [3745] I [1473] command [1781] you [5213]. 43 15 15 Henceforth [3765] I call [3004] you [5209] not [3765] servants [1401]; for [3754] the servant [1401] knoweth [1492] not [3756] what [5101] his [846] lord [2962] doeth [4160]: but [1161] I have called [2046] you [5209] friends [5384]; for [3754] all things [3956] that [3739] I have heard [191] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962] I have made known [1107] unto you [5213]. 43 15 16 Ye [5210] have [1586] not [3756] chosen [1586] me [3165], but [235] I [1473] have chosen [1586] you [5209], and [2532] ordained [5087] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] should go [5217] and [2532] bring forth [5342] fruit [2590], and [2532] that your [5216] fruit [2590] should remain [3306]: that [2443] whatsoever [3739] [302] [3748] ye shall ask [154] of the Father [3962] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], he may give it [1325] you [5213]. 43 15 17 These things [5023] I command [1781] you [5213], that [2443] ye love [25] one another [240]. 43 15 18 If [1487] the world [2889] hate [3404] you [5209], ye know [1097] that [3754] it hated [3404] me [1691] before [4412] it hated you [5216]. 43 15 19 If [1487] ye were [2258] of [1537] the world [2889], the world [2889] would [302] love [5368] his own [2398]: but [1161] because [3754] ye are [2075] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889], but [235] I [1473] have chosen [1586] you [5209] out of [1537] the world [2889], therefore [5124] [1223] the world [2889] hateth [3404] you [5209]. 43 15 20 Remember [3421] the word [3056] that [3739] I [1473] said [2036] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]. If [1487] they have persecuted [1377] me [1691], they will [1377] also [2532] persecute [1377] you [5209]; if [1487] they have kept [5083] my [3450] saying [3056], they will keep [5083] yours [5212] also [2532]. 43 15 21 But [235] all [3956] these things [5023] will they do [4160] unto you [5213] for [1223] my [3450] name's [3686] sake [3450], because [3754] they know [1492] not [3756] him that sent [3992] me [3165]. 43 15 22 If [1508] I had [2064] not [1508] come [2064] and [2532] spoken [2980] unto them [846], they had [2192] not [3756] had [2192] sin [266]: but [1161] now [3568] they have [2192] no [3756] cloke [4392] for [4012] their [846] sin [266]. 43 15 23 He that hateth [3404] me [1691] hateth [3404] my [3450] Father [3962] also [2532]. 43 15 24 If [1508] I had [4160] not [1508] done [4160] among [1722] them [846] the works [2041] which [3739] none [3762] other man [243] did [4160], they had [2192] not [3756] had [2192] sin [266]: but [1161] now [3568] have they [3708] both [2532] seen [3708] and [2532] hated [3404] both [2532] me [1691] and [2532] my [3450] Father [3962]. 43 15 25 But [235] this cometh to pass, that [2443] the word [3056] might be fulfilled [4137] that is written [1125] in [1722] their [846] law [3551], [3754] They hated [3404] me [3165] without a cause [1432]. 43 15 26 But [1161] when [3752] the Comforter [3875] is come [2064], whom [3739] I [1473] will send [3992] unto you [5213] from [3844] the Father [3962], even the Spirit [4151] of truth [225], which [3739] proceedeth [1607] from [3844] the Father [3962], he [1565] shall testify [3140] of [4012] me [1700]: 43 15 27 And [1161] ye [5210] also [2532] shall bear witness [3140], because [3754] ye have been [2075] with [3326] me [1700] from [575] the beginning [746]. 43 16 1 These things [5023] have I spoken [2980] unto you [5213], that [3363] ye should [4624] not [3363] be offended [4624]. 43 16 2 They shall put [4160] you [5209] out of the synagogues [656]: yea [235], the time [5610] cometh [2064], that [2443] whosoever [3956] killeth [615] you [5209] will think [1380] that he doeth [4374] God [2316] service [2999]. 43 16 3 And [2532] these things [5023] will they do [4160] unto you [5213], because [3754] they have [1097] not [3756] known [1097] the Father [3962], nor [3761] me [1691]. 43 16 4 But [235] these things [5023] have I told [2980] you [5213], that [2443] when [3752] the time [5610] shall come [2064], ye may remember [3421] that [3754] I [1473] told [2036] you [5213] of them [846]. And [1161] these things [5023] I said [2036] not [3756] unto you [5213] at [1537] the beginning [746], because [3754] I was [2252] with [3326] you [5216]. 43 16 5 But [1161] now [3568] I go my way [5217] to [4314] him that sent [3992] me [3165]; and [2532] none [3762] of [1537] you [5216] asketh [2065] me [3165], Whither [4226] goest thou [5217]? 43 16 6 But [235] because [3754] I have said [2980] these things [5023] unto you [5213], sorrow [3077] hath filled [4137] your [5216] heart [2588]. 43 16 7 Nevertheless [235] I [1473] tell [3004] you [5213] the truth [225]; It is expedient [4851] for you [5213] that [2443] I [1473] go away [565]: for [1063] if [3362] I go [565] not [3362] away [565], the Comforter [3875] will [2064] not [3756] come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209]; but [1161] if [1437] I depart [4198], I will send [3992] him [846] unto [4314] you [5209]. 43 16 8 And [2532] when he is come [2064], he [1565] will reprove [1651] the world [2889] of [4012] sin [266], and [2532] of [4012] righteousness [1343], and [2532] of [4012] judgment [2920]: 43 16 9 Of [4012] sin [266], [3303] because [3754] they believe [4100] not [3756] on [1519] me [1691]; 43 16 10 Of [4012] [1161] righteousness [1343], because [3754] I go [5217] to [4314] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] ye see [2334] me [3165] no more [3765]; 43 16 11 Of [4012] [1161] judgment [2920], because [3754] the prince [758] of this [5127] world [2889] is judged [2919]. 43 16 12 I have [2192] yet [2089] many things [4183] to say [3004] unto you [5213], but [235] ye cannot [3756] [1410] bear them [941] now [737]. 43 16 13 Howbeit [1161] when [3752] he [1565], the Spirit [4151] of truth [225], is come [2064], he will guide [3594] you [5209] into [1519] all [3956] truth [225]: for [1063] he shall [2980] not [3756] speak [2980] of [575] himself [1438]; but [235] whatsoever [3745] [302] he shall hear [191], that shall he speak [2980]: and [2532] he will shew [312] you [5213] things to come [2064]. 43 16 14 He [1565] shall glorify [1392] me [1691]: for [3754] he shall receive [2983] of [1537] mine [1699], and [2532] shall shew [312] it unto you [5213]. 43 16 15 All things [3956] that [3745] the Father [3962] hath [2192] are [2076] mine [1699]: therefore [5124] [1223] said I [2036], that [3754] he shall take [2983] of [1537] mine [1699], and [2532] shall shew [312] it unto you [5213]. 43 16 16 A little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall [2334] not [3756] see [2334] me [3165]: and [2532] again [3825], a little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall see [3700] me [3165], because [3754] I [1473] go [5217] to [4314] the Father [3962]. 43 16 17 Then [3767] said [2036] some of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101] among [4314] themselves [240], What [5101] is [2076] this [5124] that [3739] he saith [3004] unto us [2254], A little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall [2334] not [3756] see [2334] me [3165]: and [2532] again [3825], a little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall see [3700] me [3165]: and [2532], Because [3754] I [1473] go [5217] to [4314] the Father [3962]? 43 16 18 They said [3004] therefore [3767], What [5101] is [2076] this [5124] that [3739] he saith [3004], A little while [3397]? we cannot [3756] [1492] tell [1492] what [5101] he saith [2980]. 43 16 19 Now [3767] Jesus [2424] knew [1097] that [3754] they were desirous [2309] to ask [2065] him [846], and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Do ye enquire [2212] among [3326] yourselves [240] of [4012] that [5127] [3754] I said [2036], A little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall [2334] not [3756] see [2334] me [3165]: and [2532] again [3825], a little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall see [3700] me [3165]? 43 16 20 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] ye [5210] shall weep [2799] and [2532] lament [2354], but [1161] the world [2889] shall rejoice [5463]: and [1161] ye [5210] shall be sorrowful [3076], but [235] your [5216] sorrow [3077] shall be turned [1096] into [1519] joy [5479]. 43 16 21 A woman [1135] when [3752] she is in travail [5088] hath [2192] sorrow [3077], because [3754] her [846] hour [5610] is come [2064]: but [1161] as soon as [3752] she is delivered [1080] of the child [3813], she remembereth [3421] no more [3765] the anguish [2347], for [1223] joy [5479] that [3754] a man [444] is born [1080] into [1519] the world [2889]. 43 16 22 And [2532] ye [5210] [3303] now [3568] therefore [3767] have [2192] sorrow [3077]: but [1161] I will see [3700] you [5209] again [3825], and [2532] your [5216] heart [2588] shall rejoice [5463], and [2532] your [5216] joy [5479] no man [3762] taketh [142] from [575] you [5216]. 43 16 23 And [2532] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250] ye shall [3756] ask [2065] me [1691] nothing [3762]. Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whatsoever [3745] [302] ye shall ask [154] the Father [3962] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686], he will give [1325] it you [5213]. 43 16 24 Hitherto [2193] [737] have ye asked [154] nothing [3756] [3762] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686]: ask [154], and [2532] ye shall receive [2983], that [2443] your [5216] joy [5479] may be [5600] full [4137]. 43 16 25 These things [5023] have I spoken [2980] unto you [5213] in [1722] proverbs [3942]: but [235] the time [5610] cometh [2064], when [3753] I shall [2980] no more [3765] speak [2980] unto you [5213] in [1722] proverbs [3942], but [235] I shall shew [312] you [5213] plainly [3954] of [4012] the Father [3962]. 43 16 26 At [1722] that [1565] day [2250] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] my [3450] name [3686]: and [2532] I say [3004] not [3756] unto you [5213], that [3754] I [1473] will pray [2065] the Father [3962] for [4012] you [5216]: 43 16 27 For [1063] the Father [3962] himself [846] loveth [5368] you [5209], because [3754] ye [5210] have loved [5368] me [1691], and [2532] have believed [4100] that [3754] I [1473] came out [1831] from [3844] God [2316]. 43 16 28 I came forth [1831] from [3844] the Father [3962], and [2532] am come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889]: again [3825], I leave [863] the world [2889], and [2532] go [4198] to [4314] the Father [3962]. 43 16 29 His [846] disciples [3101] said [3004] unto him [846], Lo [2396], now [3568] speakest thou [2980] plainly [3954], and [2532] speakest [3004] no [3762] proverb [3942]. 43 16 30 Now [3568] are we sure [1492] that [3754] thou knowest [1492] all things [3956], and [2532] needest [5532] not [3756] [2192] that [2443] any man [5100] should ask [2065] thee [4571]: by [1722] this [5129] we believe [4100] that [3754] thou camest forth [1831] from [575] God [2316]. 43 16 31 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Do ye [4100] now [737] believe [4100]? 43 16 32 Behold [2400], the hour [5610] cometh [2064], yea [2532], is [2064] now [3568] come [2064], that [2443] ye shall be scattered [4650], every man [1538] to [1519] his own [2398], and [2532] shall leave [863] me [1691] alone [3441]: and yet [2532] I am [1510] not [3756] alone [3441], because [3754] the Father [3962] is [2076] with [3326] me [1700]. 43 16 33 These things [5023] I have spoken [2980] unto you [5213], that [2443] in [1722] me [1698] ye might have [2192] peace [1515]. In [1722] the world [2889] ye shall have [2192] [2192] tribulation [2347]: but [235] be of good cheer [2293]; I [1473] have overcome [3528] the world [2889]. 43 17 1 These words [5023] spake [2980] Jesus [2424], and [2532] lifted up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788] to [1519] heaven [3772], and [2532] said [2036], Father [3962], the hour [5610] is come [2064]; glorify [1392] thy [4675] Son [5207], that [2443] thy [4675] Son [5207] also [2532] may glorify [1392] thee [4571]: 43 17 2 As [2531] thou hast given [1325] him [846] power [1849] over all [3956] flesh [4561], that [2443] he should give [1325] eternal [166] life [2222] to [3739] as many as [3956] [846] thou hast given [1325] him [846]. 43 17 3 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] life [2222] eternal [166], that [2443] they might know [1097] thee [4571] the only [3441] true [228] God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], whom [3739] thou hast sent [649]. 43 17 4 I [1473] have glorified [1392] thee [4571] on [1909] the earth [1093]: I have finished [5048] the work [2041] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] to [2443] do [4160]. 43 17 5 And [2532] now [3568], O Father [3962], glorify [1392] thou [4771] me [3165] with [3844] thine own self [4572] with the glory [1391] which [3739] I had [2192] with [3844] thee [4671] before [4253] the world [2889] was [1511]. 43 17 6 I have manifested [5319] thy [4675] name [3686] unto the men [444] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] out of [1537] the world [2889]: thine [4674] they were [2258], and [2532] thou gavest [1325] them [846] me [1698]; and [2532] they have kept [5083] thy [4675] word [3056]. 43 17 7 Now [3568] they have known [1097] that [3754] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] thou hast given [1325] me [3427] are [2076] of [3844] thee [4675]. 43 17 8 For [3754] I have given [1325] unto them [846] the words [4487] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427]; and [2532] they [846] have received [2983] them, and [2532] have known [1097] surely [230] that [3754] I came out [1831] from [3844] thee [4675], and [2532] they have believed [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] didst send [649] me [3165]. 43 17 9 I [1473] pray [2065] for [4012] them [846]: I pray [2065] not [3756] for [4012] the world [2889], but [235] for [4012] them which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]; for [3754] they are [1526] thine [4674]. 43 17 10 And [2532] all [3956] mine [1699] are [2076] thine [4674], and [2532] thine [4674] are mine [1699]; and [2532] I am glorified [1392] in [1722] them [846]. 43 17 11 And [2532] now [3765] I am [1510] no more [3765] in [1722] the world [2889], but [2532] these [3778] are [1526] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] I [1473] come [2064] to [4314] thee [4571]. Holy [40] Father [3962], keep [5083] through [1722] thine own [4675] name [3686] those [846] whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], that [2443] they may be [5600] one [1520], as [2531] we [2249] are. 43 17 12 While [3753] I was [2252] with [3326] them [846] in [1722] the world [2889], I [1473] kept [5083] them [846] in [1722] thy [4675] name [3686]: those that [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] I have kept [5442], and [2532] none [3762] of [1537] them [846] is lost [622], but [1508] the son [5207] of perdition [684]; that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [4137]. 43 17 13 And [1161] now [3568] come I [2064] to [4314] thee [4571]; and [2532] these things [5023] I speak [2980] in [1722] the world [2889], that [2443] they might have [2192] my [1699] joy [5479] fulfilled [4137] in [1722] themselves [846]. 43 17 14 I [1473] have given [1325] them [846] thy [4675] word [3056]; and [2532] the world [2889] hath hated [3404] them [846], because [3754] they are [1526] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889], even as [2531] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889]. 43 17 15 I pray [2065] not [3756] that [2443] thou shouldest take [142] them [846] out of [1537] the world [2889], but [235] that [2443] thou shouldest keep [5083] them [846] from [1537] the evil [4190]. 43 17 16 They are [1526] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889], even as [2531] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889]. 43 17 17 Sanctify [37] them [846] through [1722] thy [4675] truth [225]: thy [4674] word [3056] is [2076] truth [225]. 43 17 18 As [2531] thou hast sent [649] me [1691] into [1519] the world [2889], even so [2504] have [649] I also [2504] sent [649] them [846] into [1519] the world [2889]. 43 17 19 And [2532] for [5228] their [846] sakes [5228] I [1473] sanctify [37] myself [1683], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] might [5600] be sanctified [37] through [1722] the truth [225]. 43 17 20 Neither [1161] [3756] pray I [2065] for [4012] these [5130] alone [3440], but [235] for [4012] them also [2532] which shall believe [4100] on [1519] me [1691] through [1223] their [846] word [3056]; 43 17 21 That [2443] they all [3956] may be [5600] one [1520]; as [2531] thou [4771], Father [3962], art in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] thee [4671], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] may be [5600] one [1520] in [1722] us [2254]: that [2443] the world [2889] may believe [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165]. 43 17 22 And [2532] the glory [1391] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] I [1473] have given [1325] them [846]; that [2443] they may be [5600] one [1520], even as [2531] we [2249] are [2070] one [1520]: 43 17 23 I [1473] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] thou [4771] in [1722] me [1698], that [2443] they may be [5600] made perfect [5048] in [1519] one [1520]; and [2532] that [2443] the world [2889] may know [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165], and [2532] hast loved [25] them [846], as [2531] thou hast loved [25] me [1691]. 43 17 24 Father [3962], I will [2309] that [2443] they also [2548], whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], be [5600] with [3326] me [1700] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510]; that [2443] they may behold [2334] my [1699] glory [1391], which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]: for [3754] thou lovedst [25] me [3165] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]. 43 17 25 [2532] O righteous [1342] Father [3962], the world [2889] hath [1097] not [3756] known [1097] thee [4571]: but [1161] I [1473] have known [1097] thee [4571], and [2532] these [3778] have known [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165]. 43 17 26 And [2532] I have declared [1107] unto them [846] thy [4675] name [3686], and [2532] will declare [1107] it: that [2443] the love [26] wherewith [3739] thou hast loved [25] me [3165] may be [5600] in [1722] them [846], and I [2504] in [1722] them [846]. 43 18 1 When Jesus [2424] had spoken [2036] these words [5023], he went forth [1831] with [4862] his [846] disciples [3101] over [4008] the brook [5493] Cedron [2748], where [3699] was [2258] a garden [2779], into [1519] the which [3739] he [846] entered [1525], and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101]. 43 18 2 And [1161] Judas [2455] also [2532], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], knew [1492] the place [5117]: for [3754] Jesus [2424] ofttimes [4178] resorted [4863] thither [1563] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101]. 43 18 3 Judas [2455] then [3767], having received [2983] a band [4686] of men and [2532] officers [5257] from [1537] the chief priests [749] and [2532] Pharisees [5330], cometh [2064] thither [1563] with [3326] lanterns [5322] and [2532] torches [2985] and [2532] weapons [3696]. 43 18 4 Jesus [2424] therefore [3767], knowing [1492] all things [3956] that should come [2064] upon [1909] him [846], went forth [1831], and said [2036] unto them [846], Whom [5101] seek ye [2212]? 43 18 5 They answered [611] him [846], Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], I [1473] am [1510] he. And [1161] Judas [2455] also [2532], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], stood [2476] with [3326] them [846]. 43 18 6 As soon [5613] then [3767] as he had said [2036] unto them [846], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, they went [565] backward [1519] [3694], and [2532] fell [4098] to the ground [5476]. 43 18 7 Then [3767] asked he [1905] them [846] again [3825], Whom [5101] seek ye [2212]? And [1161] they said [2036], Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. 43 18 8 Jesus [2424] answered [611], I have told [2036] you [5213] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he: if [1487] therefore [3767] ye seek [2212] me [1691], let [863] these [5128] go their way [5217]: 43 18 9 That [2443] the saying [3056] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3739] he spake [2036], [3754] Of [1537] them [846] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] have I [3756] lost [622] none [3762]. 43 18 10 Then [3767] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] having [2192] a sword [3162] drew [1670] it [846], and [2532] smote [3817] the high priest's [749] servant [1401], and [2532] cut off [609] his [846] right [1188] ear [5621]. [1161] The servant's [1401] name [3686] was [2258] Malchus [3124]. 43 18 11 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto Peter [4074], Put up [906] thy [4675] sword [3162] into [1519] the sheath [2336]: the cup [4221] which [3739] my Father [3962] hath given [1325] me [3427], shall I [4095] not [3378] drink [4095] it [846]? 43 18 12 Then [3767] the band [4686] and [2532] the captain [5506] and [2532] officers [5257] of the Jews [2453] took [4815] Jesus [2424], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846], 43 18 13 And [2532] led [520] him [846] away [520] to [4314] Annas [452] first [4412]; for [1063] he was [2258] father in law [3995] to Caiaphas [2533], which [3739] was [2258] the high priest [749] that same [1565] year [1763]. 43 18 14 Now [1161] Caiaphas [2533] was he [2258], which [3588] gave counsel [4823] to the Jews [2453], that [3754] it was expedient [4851] that one [1520] man [444] should die [622] for [5228] the people [2992]. 43 18 15 And [1161] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] followed [190] Jesus [2424], and [2532] so did another [243] disciple [3101]: [1161] that [1565] disciple [3101] was [2258] known [1110] unto the high priest [749], and [2532] went in with [4897] Jesus [2424] into [1519] the palace [833] of the high priest [749]. 43 18 16 But [1161] Peter [4074] stood [2476] at [4314] the door [2374] without [1854]. Then [3767] went out [1831] that other [243] disciple [3101], which [3739] was [2258] known [1110] unto the high priest [749], and [2532] spake [2036] unto her that kept the door [2377], and [2532] brought in [1521] Peter [4074]. 43 18 17 Then [3767] saith [3004] the damsel [3814] that kept the door [2377] unto Peter [4074], Art [1488] not [3361] thou [4771] also [2532] one of [1537] this [5127] man's [444] disciples [3101]? He [1565] saith [3004], I am [1510] not [3756]. 43 18 18 And [1161] the servants [1401] and [2532] officers [5257] stood there [2476], who had made [4160] a fire of coals [439]; for [3754] it was [2258] cold [5592]: and [2532] they warmed themselves [2328]: and [1161] Peter [4074] stood [2258] [2476] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] warmed himself [2328]. 43 18 19 The high priest [749] then [3767] asked [2065] Jesus [2424] of [4012] his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] of [4012] his [846] doctrine [1322]. 43 18 20 Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], I [1473] spake [2980] openly [3954] to the world [2889]; I [1473] ever [3842] taught [1321] in [1722] the synagogue [4864], and [2532] in [1722] the temple [2411], whither [3699] the Jews [2453] always [3842] resort [4905]; and [2532] in [1722] secret [2927] have I said [2980] nothing [3762]. 43 18 21 Why [5101] askest thou [1905] me [3165]? ask [1905] them which heard me [191], what [5101] I have said [2980] unto them [846]: behold [2396], they [3778] know [1492] what [3739] I [1473] said [2036]. 43 18 22 And [1161] when he [846] had [2036] thus [5023] spoken [2036], one [1520] of the officers [5257] which stood by [3936] struck [1325] [4475] Jesus [2424] with the palm of his hand [1325] [4475], saying [2036], Answerest thou [611] the high priest [749] so [3779]? 43 18 23 Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], If [1487] I have spoken [2980] evil [2560], bear witness [3140] of [4012] the evil [2556]: but [1161] if [1487] well [2573], why [5101] smitest [1194] thou me [3165]? 43 18 24 Now Annas [452] had sent [649] him [846] bound [1210] unto [4314] Caiaphas [2533] the high priest [749]. 43 18 25 And [1161] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] stood [2258] [2476] and [2532] warmed himself [2328]. They said [2036] therefore [3767] unto him [846], Art [1488] not [3361] thou [4771] also [2532] one of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101]? He [1565] denied [720] it, and [2532] said [2036], I am [1510] not [3756]. 43 18 26 One [1520] of [1537] the servants [1401] of the high priest [749], being [5607] his kinsman [4773] whose [3739] ear [5621] Peter [4074] cut off [609], saith [3004], Did [1492] not [3756] I [1473] see [1492] thee [4571] in [1722] the garden [2779] with [3326] him [846]? 43 18 27 Peter [4074] then [3767] denied [720] again [3825]: and [2532] immediately [2112] the cock [220] crew [5455]. 43 18 28 Then [3767] led they [71] Jesus [2424] from [575] Caiaphas [2533] unto [1519] the hall of judgment [4232]: and [1161] it was [2258] early [4405]; and [2532] they themselves [846] went [1525] not [3756] into [1519] the judgment hall [4232], lest [3363] they should be defiled [3392]; but [235] that [2443] they might eat [5315] the passover [3957]. 43 18 29 Pilate [4091] then [3767] went out [1831] unto [4314] them [846], and [2532] said [2036], What [5101] accusation [2724] bring ye [5342] against [2596] this [5127] man [444]? 43 18 30 They answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], If [1508] he [3778] were [2258] not [1508] a malefactor [2555], we would [302] not [3756] have delivered [3860] him [846] up [3860] unto thee [4671]. 43 18 31 Then [3767] said [2036] Pilate [4091] unto them [846], Take [2983] ye [5210] him [846], and [2532] judge [2919] him [846] according [2596] to your [5216] law [3551]. The Jews [2453] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto him [846], It is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for us [2254] to put [615] any man [3762] to death [615]: 43 18 32 That [2443] the saying [3056] of Jesus [2424] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3739] he spake [2036], signifying [4591] what [4169] death [2288] he should [3195] die [599]. 43 18 33 Then [3767] Pilate [4091] entered [1525] into [1519] the judgment hall [4232] again [3825], and [2532] called [5455] Jesus [2424], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? 43 18 34 Jesus [2424] answered [611] him [846], Sayest [3004] thou [4771] this thing [5124] of [575] thyself [1438], or [2228] did others [243] tell it [2036] thee [4671] of [4012] me [1700]? 43 18 35 Pilate [4091] answered [611], [3385] Am [1510] I [1473] a Jew [2453]? Thine own [4674] nation [1484] and [2532] the chief priests [749] have delivered [3860] thee [4571] unto me [1698]: what [5101] hast thou done [4160]? 43 18 36 Jesus [2424] answered [611], My [1699] kingdom [932] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] this [5127] world [2889]: if [1487] my [1699] kingdom [932] were [2258] of [1537] this [5127] world [2889], then would [302] my [1699] servants [5257] fight [75], that [3363] I should [3860] not [3363] be delivered [3860] to the Jews [2453]: but [1161] now [3568] is [2076] my [1699] kingdom [932] not [3756] from hence [1782]. 43 18 37 Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] said [2036] unto him [846], Art [1488] thou [4771] a king [935] then [3766]? Jesus [2424] answered [611], Thou [4771] sayest [3004] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] a king [935]. To [1519] this [5124] end was [1080] I [1473] born [1080], and [2532] for [1519] this [5124] cause came I [2064] into [1519] the world [2889], that [2443] I should bear witness [3140] unto the truth [225]. Every one [3956] that is [5607] of [1537] the truth [225] heareth [191] my [3450] voice [5456]. 43 18 38 Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto him [846], What [5101] is [2076] truth [225]? And [2532] when he had said [2036] this [5124], he went out [1831] again [3825] unto [4314] the Jews [2453], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], I [1473] find [2147] in [1722] him [846] no [3762] fault [156] at all. 43 18 39 But [1161] ye [5213] have [2076] a custom [4914], that [2443] I should release [630] unto you [5213] one [1520] at [1722] the passover [3957]: will ye [1014] therefore [3767] that I release [630] unto you [5213] the King [935] of the Jews [2453]? 43 18 40 Then [3767] cried they [2905] all [3956] again [3825], saying [3004], Not [3361] this man [5126], but [235] Barabbas [912]. Now [1161] Barabbas [912] was [2258] a robber [3027]. 43 19 1 Then [5119] Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] took [2983] Jesus [2424], and [2532] scourged [3146] him. 43 19 2 And [2532] the soldiers [4757] platted [4120] a crown [4735] of [1537] thorns [173], and put it on [2007] his [846] head [2776], and [2532] they put on [4016] him [846] a purple [4210] robe [2440], 43 19 3 And [2532] said [3004], Hail [5463], King [935] of the Jews [2453]! and [2532] they smote [1325] him [846] with their hands [4475]. 43 19 4 Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] went [1831] forth [1854] again [3825], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Behold [2396], I bring [71] him [846] forth [1854] to you [5213], that [2443] ye may know [1097] that [3754] I find [2147] no [3762] fault [156] in [1722] him [846]. 43 19 5 Then [3767] came [1831] Jesus [2424] forth [1854], wearing [5409] the crown [4735] of thorns [174], and [2532] the purple [4210] robe [2440]. And [2532] Pilate saith [3004] unto them [846], Behold [2396] the man [444]! 43 19 6 When [3753] the chief priests [749] therefore [3767] and [2532] officers [5257] saw [1492] him [846], they cried out [2905], saying [3004], Crucify [4717] him, crucify [4717] him. Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto them [846], Take [2983] ye [5210] him [846], and [2532] crucify [4717] him: for [1063] I [1473] find [2147] no [3756] fault [156] in [1722] him [846]. 43 19 7 The Jews [2453] answered [611] him [846], We [2249] have [2192] a law [3551], and [2532] by [2596] our [2257] law [3551] he ought [3784] to die [599], because [3754] he made [4160] himself [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 43 19 8 When [3753] Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] heard [191] that [5126] saying [3056], he was [5399] the more [3123] afraid [5399]; 43 19 9 And [2532] went [1525] again [3825] into [1519] the judgment hall [4232], and [2532] saith [3004] unto Jesus [2424], Whence [4159] art [1488] thou [4771]? But [1161] Jesus [2424] gave [1325] him [846] no [3756] answer [612]. 43 19 10 Then [3767] saith [3004] Pilate [4091] unto him [846], Speakest thou [2980] not [3756] unto me [1698]? knowest thou [1492] not [3756] that [3754] I have [2192] power [1849] to crucify [4717] thee [4571], and [2532] have [2192] power [1849] to release [630] thee [4571]? 43 19 11 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Thou couldest have [2192] no [3756] power [1849] at all against [3762] [2596] me [1700], except [1508] it were [2258] given [1325] thee [4671] from above [509]: therefore [5124] [1223] he that delivered [3860] me [3165] unto thee [4671] hath [2192] the greater [3187] sin [266]. 43 19 12 And from [1537] thenceforth [5127] Pilate [4091] sought [2212] to release [630] him [846]: but [1161] the Jews [2453] cried out [2896], saying [3004], If [1437] thou let [630] this man [5126] go [630], thou art [1488] not [3756] Caesar's [2541] friend [5384]: whosoever [3956] maketh [4160] himself [846] a king [935] speaketh against [483] Caesar [2541]. 43 19 13 When Pilate [4091] therefore [3767] heard [191] that [5126] saying [3056], he brought [71] Jesus [2424] forth [1854], and [2532] sat down [2523] in [1909] the judgment seat [968] in [1519] a place [5117] that is called [3004] the Pavement [3038], but [1161] in the Hebrew [1447], Gabbatha [1042]. 43 19 14 And [1161] it was [2258] the preparation [3904] of the passover [3957], and [1161] about [5616] the sixth [1623] hour [5610]: and [2532] he saith [3004] unto the Jews [2453], Behold [2396] your [5216] King [935]! 43 19 15 But [1161] they cried out [2905], Away with [142] him, away with [142] him, crucify [4717] him [846]. Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto them [846], Shall I crucify [4717] your [5216] King [935]? The chief priests [749] answered [611], We have [2192] no [3756] king [935] but [1508] Caesar [2541]. 43 19 16 Then [5119] delivered he [3860] him [846] therefore [3767] unto them [846] to [2443] be crucified [4717]. And [1161] they took [3880] Jesus [2424], and [2532] led him away [520]. 43 19 17 And [2532] he bearing [941] his [846] cross [4716] went forth [1831] into [1519] a place [5117] called [3004] the place of a skull [2898], which [3739] is called [3004] in the Hebrew [1447] Golgotha [1115]: 43 19 18 Where [3699] they crucified [4717] him [846], and [2532] two [1417] other [243] with [3326] him [846], on either side one [2532] [1782] [1782], and [1161] Jesus [2424] in the midst [3319]. 43 19 19 And [1161] [2532] Pilate [4091] wrote [1125] a title [5102], and [2532] put [5087] it on [1909] the cross [4716]. And [1161] the writing [1125] was [2258], JESUS [2424] OF NAZARETH [3480] THE KING [935] OF THE JEWS [2453]. 43 19 20 This [5126] title [5102] then [3767] read [314] many [4183] of the Jews [2453]: for [3754] the place [5117] where [3699] Jesus [2424] was crucified [4717] was [2258] nigh [1451] to the city [4172]: and [2532] it was [2258] written [1125] in Hebrew [1447], and Greek [1676], and Latin [4515]. 43 19 21 Then [3767] said [3004] the chief priests [749] of the Jews [2453] to Pilate [4091], Write [1125] not [3361], The King [935] of the Jews [2453]; but [235] that [3754] he [1565] said [2036], I am [1510] King [935] of the Jews [2453]. 43 19 22 Pilate [4091] answered [611], What [3739] I have written [1125] I have written [1125]. 43 19 23 Then [3767] the soldiers [4757], when [3753] they had crucified [4717] Jesus [2424], took [2983] his [846] garments [2440], and [2532] made [4160] four [5064] parts [3313], to every [1538] soldier [4757] a part [3313]; and also [2532] his coat [5509]: now [1161] the coat [5509] was [2258] without seam [729], woven [5307] from [1537] the top [509] throughout [1223] [3650]. 43 19 24 They said [2036] therefore [3767] among [4314] themselves [240], Let us [4977] not [3361] rend [4977] it [846], but [235] cast lots [2975] for [4012] it [846], whose [5101] it shall be [2071]: that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [4137], which [3588] saith [3004], They parted [1266] my [3450] raiment [2440] among them [1438], and [2532] for [1909] my [3450] vesture [2441] they did cast [906] lots [2819]. These things [5023] [3303] therefore [3767] the soldiers [4757] did [4160]. 43 19 25 Now [1161] there stood [2476] by [3844] the cross [4716] of Jesus [2424] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] his [846] mother's [3384] sister [79], Mary [3137] the wife [3588] of Cleophas [2832], and [2532] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094]. 43 19 26 When Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] his mother [3384], and [2532] the disciple [3101] standing by [3936], whom [3739] he loved [25], he saith [3004] unto his [846] mother [3384], Woman [1135], behold [2400] thy [4675] son [5207]! 43 19 27 Then [1534] saith he [3004] to the disciple [3101], Behold [2400] thy [4675] mother [3384]! And [2532] from [575] that [1565] hour [5610] that disciple [3101] took [2983] her [846] unto [1519] his own [2398] home. 43 19 28 After [3326] this [5124], Jesus [2424] knowing [1492] that [3754] all things [3956] were [5055] now [2235] accomplished [5055], that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [5048], saith [3004], I thirst [1372]. 43 19 29 Now [3767] there was set [2749] a vessel [4632] full [3324] of vinegar [3690]: and [1161] they filled [4130] a spunge [4699] with vinegar [3690], and [2532] put it upon [4060] hyssop [5301], and put [4374] it to his [846] mouth [4750]. 43 19 30 When [3753] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] had received [2983] the vinegar [3690], he said [2036], It is finished [5055]: and [2532] he bowed [2827] his head [2776], and gave up [3860] the ghost [4151]. 43 19 31 The Jews [2453] therefore [3767], because [1893] it was [2258] [2258] the preparation [3904], that [3363] the bodies [4983] should [3306] not [3363] remain [3306] upon [1909] the cross [4716] on [1722] the sabbath day [4521], (for [1063] that [1565] sabbath day [4521] was [2258] an high [3173] day [2250],) besought [2065] Pilate [4091] that [2443] their [846] legs [4628] might be broken [2608], and [2532] that they might be taken away [142]. 43 19 32 Then [3767] came [2064] the soldiers [4757], and [2532] brake [2608] the legs [4628] of the [3303] first [4413], and [2532] of the other [243] which [3588] was crucified with [4957] him [846]. 43 19 33 But [1161] when [5613] they came [2064] to [1909] Jesus [2424], and saw [1492] that he [846] was dead [2348] already [2235], they brake [2608] not [3756] his [846] legs [4628]: 43 19 34 But [235] one [1520] of the soldiers [4757] with a spear [3057] pierced [3572] his [846] side [4125], and [2532] forthwith [2117] came there out [1831] blood [129] and [2532] water [5204]. 43 19 35 And [2532] he that saw [3708] it bare record [3140], and [2532] his [846] record [3141] is [2076] true [228]: and he [2548] knoweth [1492] that [3754] he saith [3004] true [227], that [2443] ye [5210] might believe [4100]. 43 19 36 For [1063] these things [5023] were done [1096], that [2443] the scripture [1124] should be fulfilled [4137], A bone [3747] of him [846] shall [4937] not [3756] be broken [4937]. 43 19 37 And [2532] again [3825] another [2087] scripture [1124] saith [3004], They shall look [3700] on [1519] him whom [3739] they pierced [1574]. 43 19 38 And [1161] after [3326] this [5023] Joseph [2501] of [575] Arimathaea [707], being [5607] a disciple [3101] of Jesus [2424], but [1161] secretly [2928] for [1223] fear [5401] of the Jews [2453], besought [2065] Pilate [4091] that [2443] he might take away [142] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424]: and [2532] Pilate [4091] gave him leave [2010]. He came [2064] therefore [3767], and [2532] took [142] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424]. 43 19 39 And [1161] there came [2064] also [2532] Nicodemus [3530], which [3588] at the first [4412] came [2064] to [4314] Jesus [2424] by night [3571], and brought [5342] a mixture [3395] of myrrh [4666] and [2532] aloes [250], about [5616] an hundred [1540] pound [3046] weight. 43 19 40 Then [3767] took they [2983] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] wound [1210] it [846] in linen clothes [3608] with [3326] the spices [759], as [2531] the manner [1485] of the Jews [2453] is [2076] to bury [1779]. 43 19 41 Now [1161] in [1722] the place [5117] where [3699] he was crucified [4717] there was [2258] a garden [2779]; and [2532] in [1722] the garden [2779] a new [2537] sepulchre [3419], wherein [1722] [3739] was [5087] never [3764] man [3762] yet [3764] laid [5087]. 43 19 42 There [1563] laid they [5087] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] because [1223] of the Jews [2453]' preparation [3904] day; for [3754] the sepulchre [3419] was [2258] nigh at hand [1451]. 43 20 1 [1161] The first [3391] day of the week [4521] cometh [2064] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] early [4404], when it was [5607] yet [2089] dark [4653], unto [1519] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] seeth [991] the stone [3037] taken away [142] from [1537] the sepulchre [3419]. 43 20 2 Then [3767] she runneth [5143], and [2532] cometh [2064] to [4314] Simon [4613] Peter [4074], and [2532] to [4314] the other [243] disciple [3101], whom [3739] Jesus [2424] loved [5368], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], They have taken away [142] the Lord [2962] out of [1537] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] we know [1492] not [3756] where [4226] they have laid [5087] him [846]. 43 20 3 Peter [4074] therefore [3767] went forth [1831], and [2532] that other [243] disciple [3101], and [2532] came [2064] to [1519] the sepulchre [3419]. 43 20 4 So [1161] they ran [5143] both [1417] together [3674]: and [2532] the other [243] disciple [3101] did outrun [4390] [5032] Peter [4074], and [2532] came [2064] first [4413] to [1519] the sepulchre [3419]. 43 20 5 And [2532] he stooping down [3879], and looking in, saw [991] the linen clothes [3608] lying [2749]; yet [3305] went he [1525] not [3756] in [1525]. 43 20 6 Then [3767] cometh [2064] Simon [4613] Peter [4074] following [190] him [846], and [2532] went [1525] into [1519] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] seeth [2334] the linen clothes [3608] lie [2749], 43 20 7 And [2532] the napkin [4676], that [3739] was [2258] about [1909] his [846] head [2776], not [3756] lying [2749] with [3326] the linen clothes [3608], but [235] wrapped together [1794] in [1519] a place [5117] by itself [1520] [5565]. 43 20 8 Then [5119] [3767] went in [1525] also [2532] that other [243] disciple [3101], which [3588] came [2064] first [4413] to [1519] the sepulchre [3419], and [2532] he saw [1492], and [2532] believed [4100]. 43 20 9 For [1063] as yet [3764] they knew [1492] not [3764] the scripture [1124], that [3754] he [846] must [1163] rise again [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 43 20 10 Then [3767] the disciples [3101] went away [565] again [3825] unto [4314] their own home [1438]. 43 20 11 But [1161] Mary [3137] stood [2476] without [1854] at [4314] the sepulchre [3419] weeping [2799]: and [3767] as [5613] she wept [2799], she stooped down [3879], and looked into [1519] the sepulchre [3419], 43 20 12 And [2532] seeth [2334] two [1417] angels [32] in [1722] white [3022] sitting [2516], the one [1520] at [4314] the head [2776], and [2532] the other [1520] at [4314] the feet [4228], where [3699] the body [4983] of Jesus [2424] had lain [2749]. 43 20 13 And [2532] they [1565] say [3004] unto her [846], Woman [1135], why [5101] weepest thou [2799]? She saith [3004] unto them [846], Because [3754] they have taken away [142] my [3450] Lord [2962], and [2532] I know [1492] not [3756] where [4226] they have laid [5087] him [846]. 43 20 14 And [2532] when she had [2036] thus [5023] said [2036], she turned [4762] herself [1519] back [3694], and [2532] saw [2334] Jesus [2424] standing [2476], and [2532] knew [1492] not [3756] that [3754] it was [2076] Jesus [2424]. 43 20 15 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Woman [1135], why [5101] weepest thou [2799]? whom [5101] seekest thou [2212]? She [1565], supposing [1380] [3754] him to be [2076] the gardener [2780], saith [3004] unto him [846], Sir [2962], if [1487] thou [4771] have borne [941] him [846] hence [941], tell [2036] me [3427] where [4226] thou hast laid [5087] him [846], and I [2504] will take [142] him [846] away [142]. 43 20 16 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Mary [3137]. She [1565] turned [4762] herself, and saith [3004] unto him [846], Rabboni [4462]; which [3739] is to say [3004], Master [1320]. 43 20 17 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto her [846], Touch [680] me [3450] not [3361]; for [1063] I am [305] not yet [3768] ascended [305] to [4314] my [3450] Father [3962]: but [1161] go [4198] to [4314] my [3450] brethren [80], and [2532] say [2036] unto them [846], I ascend [305] unto [4314] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] your [5216] Father [3962]; and [2532] to my [3450] God [2316], and [2532] your [5216] God [2316]. 43 20 18 Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] came [2064] and told [518] the disciples [3101] that [3754] she had seen [3708] the Lord [2962], and [2532] that he had spoken [2036] these things [5023] unto her [846]. 43 20 19 Then [3767] the same [1565] day [2250] at evening [3798], being [5607] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], when [2532] the doors [2374] were shut [2808] where [3699] the disciples [3101] were [2258] assembled [4863] for [1223] fear [5401] of the Jews [2453], came [2064] Jesus [2424] and [2532] stood [2476] in [1519] the midst [3319], and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Peace [1515] be unto you [5213]. 43 20 20 And [2532] when he had [2036] so [5124] said [2036], he shewed [1166] unto them [846] his hands [5495] and [2532] his [846] side [4125]. Then [3767] were [5463] the disciples [3101] glad [5463], when they saw [1492] the Lord [2962]. 43 20 21 Then [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] to them [846] again [3825], Peace [1515] be unto you [5213]: as [2531] my Father [3962] hath sent [649] me [3165], even so [2504] send [3992] I [2504] you [5209]. 43 20 22 And [2532] when he had said [2036] this [5124], he breathed on [1720] them, and [2532] saith [3004] unto them [846], Receive ye [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: 43 20 23 Whose [5100] soever [302] sins [266] ye remit [863], they are remitted [863] unto them [846]; and whose [5100] soever [302] sins ye retain [2902], they are retained [2902]. 43 20 24 But [1161] Thomas [2381], one [1520] of [1537] the twelve [1427], called [3004] Didymus [1324], was [2258] not [3756] with [3326] them [846] when [3753] Jesus [2424] came [2064]. 43 20 25 The other [243] disciples [3101] therefore [3767] said [3004] unto him [846], We have seen [3708] the Lord [2962]. But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Except [3362] I shall see [1492] in [1722] his [846] hands [5495] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] put [906] my [3450] finger [1147] into [1519] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] thrust [906] my [3450] hand [5495] into [1519] his [846] side [4125], I will [4100] not [3364] believe [4100]. 43 20 26 And [2532] after [3326] eight [3638] days [2250] again [3825] his [846] disciples [3101] were [2258] within [2080], and [2532] Thomas [2381] with [3326] them [846]: then came [2064] Jesus [2424], the doors [2374] being shut [2808], and [2532] stood [2476] in [1519] the midst [3319], and [2532] said [2036], Peace [1515] be unto you [5213]. 43 20 27 Then [1534] saith he [3004] to Thomas [2381], Reach [5342] hither [5602] thy [4675] finger [1147], and [2532] behold [1492] my [3450] hands [5495]; and [2532] reach hither [5342] thy [4675] hand [5495], and [2532] thrust [906] it into [1519] my [3450] side [4125]: and [2532] be [1096] not [3361] faithless [571], but [235] believing [4103]. 43 20 28 And [2532] Thomas [2381] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], My [3450] Lord [2962] and [2532] my [3450] God [2316]. 43 20 29 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thomas [2381], because [3754] thou hast seen [3708] me [3165], thou hast believed [4100]: blessed [3107] are they that have not [3361] seen [1492], and [2532] yet have believed [4100]. 43 20 30 And [2532] many [4183] other [243] signs [4592] truly [3303] [3767] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in the presence [1799] of his [846] disciples [3101], which [3739] are [2076] not [3756] written [1125] in [1722] this [5129] book [975]: 43 20 31 But [1161] these [5023] are written [1125], that [2443] ye might believe [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316]; and [2532] that [2443] believing [4100] ye might have [2192] life [2222] through [1722] his [846] name [3686]. 43 21 1 After [3326] these things [5023] Jesus [2424] shewed [5319] himself [1438] again [3825] to the disciples [3101] at [1909] the sea [2281] of Tiberias [5085]; and [1161] on this wise [3779] shewed [5319] he himself. 43 21 2 There were [2258] together [3674] Simon [4613] Peter [4074], and [2532] Thomas [2381] called [3004] Didymus [1324], and [2532] Nathanael [3482] of [575] Cana [2580] in Galilee [1056], and [2532] the sons [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] two [1417] other [243] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101]. 43 21 3 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] saith [3004] unto them [846], I go [5217] a fishing [232]. They say [3004] unto him [846], We [2249] also [2532] go [2064] with [4862] thee [4671]. They went forth [1831], and [2532] entered [305] into [1519] a ship [4143] immediately [2117]; and [2532] that [1722] [1565] night [3571] they caught [4084] nothing [3762]. 43 21 4 But [1161] when the morning [4405] was [1096] now [2235] come [1096], Jesus [2424] stood [2476] on [1519] the shore [123]: but [3305] the disciples [3101] knew [1492] not [3756] that [3754] it was [2076] Jesus [2424]. 43 21 5 Then [3767] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Children [3813], have ye [2192] any [3387] meat [4371]? They answered [611] him [846], No [3756]. 43 21 6 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Cast [906] the net [1350] on [1519] the right [1188] side [3313] of the ship [4143], and [2532] ye shall find [2147]. They cast [906] therefore [3767], and [2532] now [3765] they were [2480] not [3765] able [2480] to draw [1670] it [846] for [575] the multitude [4128] of fishes [2486]. 43 21 7 Therefore [3767] that [1565] disciple [3101] whom [3739] Jesus [2424] loved [25] saith [3004] unto Peter [4074], It is [2076] the Lord [2962]. Now [3767] when Simon [4613] Peter [4074] heard [191] that [3754] it was [2076] the Lord [2962], he girt [1241] his fisher's coat [1903] unto him, (for [1063] he was [2258] naked [1131],) and [2532] did cast [906] himself [1438] into [1519] the sea [2281]. 43 21 8 And [1161] the other [243] disciples [3101] came [2064] in a little ship [4142]; (for [1063] they were [2258] not [3756] far [3112] from [575] land [1093], but [235] as it were [5613] [575] two hundred [1250] cubits [4083],) dragging [4951] the net [1350] with fishes [2486]. 43 21 9 As soon [5613] then [3767] as they were come [576] to [1519] land [1093], they saw [991] a fire of coals [439] there, and [2532] fish [3795] laid [2749] thereon [1945], and [2532] bread [740]. 43 21 10 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Bring [5342] of [575] the fish [3795] which [3739] ye have [4084] now [3568] caught [4084]. 43 21 11 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] went up [305], and [2532] drew [1670] the net [1350] to [1909] land [1093] full [3324] of great [3173] fishes [2486], an hundred [1540] and fifty [4004] and three [5140]: and [2532] for all there were so many [5118], yet was [5607] not [3756] the net [1350] broken [4977]. 43 21 12 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Come [1205] and dine [709]. And [1161] none [3762] of the disciples [3101] durst [5111] ask [1833] him [846], Who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771]? knowing [1492] that [3754] it was [2076] the Lord [2962]. 43 21 13 Jesus [2424] then [3767] cometh [2064], and [2532] taketh [2983] bread [740], and [2532] giveth [1325] them [846], and [2532] fish [3795] likewise [3668]. 43 21 14 This [5124] is [5319] now [2235] the third time [5154] that Jesus [2424] shewed himself [5319] to his [846] disciples [3101], after that he was risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 43 21 15 So [3767] when [3753] they had dined [709], Jesus [2424] saith [3004] to Simon [4613] Peter [4074], Simon [4613], son of Jonas [2495], lovest thou [25] me [3165] more than [4119] these [5130]? He saith [3004] unto him [846], Yea [3483], Lord [2962]; thou [4771] knowest [1492] that [3754] I love [5368] thee [4571]. He saith [3004] unto him [846], Feed [1006] my [3450] lambs [721]. 43 21 16 He saith [3004] to him [846] again [3825] the second time [1208], Simon [4613], son of Jonas [2495], lovest thou [25] me [3165]? He saith [3004] unto him [846], Yea [3483], Lord [2962]; thou [4771] knowest [1492] that [3754] I love [5368] thee [4571]. He saith [3004] unto him [846], Feed [4165] my [3450] sheep [4263]. 43 21 17 He saith [3004] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Simon [4613], son of Jonas [2495], lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? Peter [4074] was grieved [3076] because [3754] he said [2036] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492] all things [3956]; thou [4771] knowest [1097] that [3754] I love [5368] thee [4571]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Feed [1006] my [3450] sheep [4263]. 43 21 18 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], When [3753] thou wast [2258] young [3501], thou girdedst [2224] thyself [4572], and [2532] walkedst [4043] whither [3699] thou wouldest [2309]: but [1161] when [3752] thou shalt be old [1095], thou shalt stretch forth [1614] thy [4675] hands [5495], and [2532] another [243] shall gird [2224] thee [4571], and [2532] carry [5342] thee whither [3699] thou wouldest [2309] not [3756]. 43 21 19 [1161] This [5124] spake he [2036], signifying [4591] by what [4169] death [2288] he should glorify [1392] God [2316]. And [2532] when he had spoken [2036] this [5124], he saith [3004] unto him [846], Follow [190] me [3427]. 43 21 20 Then [1161] Peter [4074], turning about [1994], seeth [991] the disciple [3101] whom [3739] Jesus [2424] loved [25] following [190]; which [3739] also [2532] leaned [377] on [1909] his [846] breast [4738] at [1722] supper [1173], and [2532] said [2036], Lord [2962], which [5101] is he [2076] that betrayeth [3860] thee [4571]? 43 21 21 Peter [4074] seeing [1492] him [5126] saith [3004] to Jesus [2424], Lord [2962], and [1161] what [5101] shall this man [3778] do? 43 21 22 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], If [1437] I will [2309] that he [846] tarry [3306] till [2193] I come [2064], what [5101] is that to [4314] thee [4571]? follow [190] thou [4771] me [3427]. 43 21 23 Then [3767] went [1831] this [3778] saying [3056] abroad [1831] among [1519] the brethren [80], that [3754] that [1565] disciple [3101] should [599] not [3756] die [599]: yet [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] not [3756] unto him [846], [3754] He shall [599] not [3756] die [599]; but [235], If [1437] I will [2309] that he [846] tarry [3306] till [2193] I come [2064], what [5101] is that to [4314] thee [4571]? 43 21 24 This [3778] is [2076] the disciple [3101] which [3588] testifieth [3140] of [4012] these things [5130], and [2532] wrote [1125] these things [5023]: and [2532] we know [1492] that [3754] his [846] testimony [3141] is [2076] true [227]. 43 21 25 And [1161] there are [2076] also [2532] many [4183] other things [243] which [3745] Jesus [2424] did [4160], the which [3748], if [1437] they should be written [1125] every [2596] one [1520], I suppose [3633] that even [3761] the world [2889] itself [846] could not [3761] contain [5562] the books [975] that should be written [1125]. Amen [281]. 44 1 1 The former [3303] [4413] treatise [3056] have I made [4160], O [5599] Theophilus [2321], of [4012] all [3956] that [3739] Jesus [2424] began [756] both [5037] to do [4160] and [2532] teach [1321], 44 1 2 Until [891] the day [2250] in which [3739] he was taken up [353], after that he through [1223] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] had given commandments [1781] unto the apostles [652] whom [3739] he had chosen [1586]: 44 1 3 To whom [3739] also [2532] he shewed [3936] himself [1438] alive [2198] after [3326] his [846] passion [3958] by [1722] many [4183] infallible proofs [5039], being seen [3700] of them [846] [1223] forty [5062] days [2250], and [2532] speaking [3004] of the things pertaining [4012] to the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: 44 1 4 And [2532], being assembled together [4871] with [846] them, commanded [3853] them [846] that they should [5563] not [3361] depart [5563] from [575] Jerusalem [2414], but [235] wait [4037] for the promise [1860] of the Father [3962], which [3739], saith he, ye have heard [191] of me [3450]. 44 1 5 For [3754] John [2491] truly [3303] baptized [907] with water [5204]; but [1161] ye [5210] shall be baptized [907] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] not [3756] many [3326] [4183] days [2250] hence [5025]. 44 1 6 When [3303] they therefore [3767] were come together [4905], they asked [1905] of him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], [1487] wilt thou [600] at [1722] this [5129] time [5550] restore again [600] the kingdom [932] to Israel [2474]? 44 1 7 And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], It is [2076] not [3756] for you [5216] to know [1097] the times [5550] or [2228] the seasons [2540], which [3739] the Father [3962] hath put [5087] in [1722] his own [2398] power [1849]. 44 1 8 But [235] ye shall receive [2983] power [1411], after that the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] is come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] witnesses [3144] unto me [3427] both [5037] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] in Samaria [4540], and [2532] unto [2193] the uttermost part [2078] of the earth [1093]. 44 1 9 And [2532] when he had spoken [2036] these things [5023], while they [846] beheld [991], he was taken up [1869]; and [2532] a cloud [3507] received [5274] him [846] out of [575] their [846] sight [3788]. 44 1 10 And [2532] while [5613] they looked stedfastly [2258] [816] toward [1519] heaven [3772] as he [846] went up [4198], [2532] behold [2400], two [1417] men [435] stood by [3936] them [846] in [1722] white [3022] apparel [2066]; 44 1 11 Which [3739] also [2532] said [2036], Ye men [435] of Galilee [1057], why [5101] stand ye [2476] gazing up [1689] into [1519] heaven [3772]? this same [3778] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is taken up [353] from [575] you [5216] into [1519] heaven [3772], shall [2064] so [3779] come [2064] in like manner as [3739] [5158] ye have seen [2300] him [846] go [4198] into [1519] heaven [3772]. 44 1 12 Then [5119] returned they [5290] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419] from [575] the mount [3735] called [2564] Olivet [1638], which [3739] is [2076] from [1451] Jerusalem [2419] a sabbath [4521] day's journey [2192] [3598]. 44 1 13 And [2532] when [3753] they were come in [1525], they went up [305] into [1519] an upper room [5253], where [3757] abode [2258] [2650] both [5037] Peter [4074], and [2532] James [2385], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] Andrew [406], Philip [5376], and [2532] Thomas [2381], Bartholomew [918], and [2532] Matthew [3156], James [2385] the son of Alphaeus [256], and [2532] Simon [4613] Zelotes [2208], and [2532] Judas [2455] the brother of James [2385]. 44 1 14 These [3778] all [3956] continued [2258] [4342] with one accord [3661] in prayer [4335] and [2532] supplication [1162], with [4862] the women [1135], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3384] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] with [4862] his [846] brethren [80]. 44 1 15 And [2532] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250] Peter [4074] stood up [450] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the disciples [3101], and said [2036], [5037] (the number [3793] of names [3686] together [1909] [846] were [2258] about [5613] an hundred [1540] and twenty [1501],) 44 1 16 Men [435] and brethren [80], this [5026] scripture [1124] must [1163] needs have been fulfilled [4137], which [3739] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of David [1138] spake before [4277] concerning [4012] Judas [2455], which [3588] was [1096] guide [3595] to them that took [4815] Jesus [2424]. 44 1 17 For [3754] he was [2258] numbered [2674] with [4862] us [2254], and [2532] had obtained [2975] part [2819] of this [5026] ministry [1248]. 44 1 18 Now [3303] [3767] this man [3778] purchased [2932] a field [5564] with [1537] the reward [3408] of iniquity [93]; and [2532] falling [1096] headlong [4248], he burst asunder [2997] in the midst [3319], and [2532] all [3956] his [846] bowels [4698] gushed out [1632]. 44 1 19 And [2532] it was [1096] known [1110] unto all [3956] the dwellers [2730] at Jerusalem [2419]; insomuch as [5620] that [1565] field [5564] is called [2564] in their [846] proper [2398] tongue [1258], Aceldama [184], that is to say [5123], The field [5564] of blood [129]. 44 1 20 For [1063] it is written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of Psalms [5568], Let [1096] his [846] habitation [1886] be [1096] desolate [2048], and [2532] let [2077] no man [3361] dwell [2730] therein [1722] [846]: and [2532] his [846] bishoprick [1984] let [2983] another [2087] take [2983]. 44 1 21 Wherefore [3767] of these [5130] men [435] which have companied [4905] with us [2254] all [3956] the time [5550] that [1722] [3739] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] went [1831] in [1525] and [2532] out [1831] among [1909] us [2248], 44 1 22 Beginning [756] from [575] the baptism [908] of John [2491], unto [2193] that same day [2250] that [3739] he was taken up [353] from [575] us [2257], must [1163] one [1520] be ordained [1096] to be a witness [3144] with [4862] us [2254] of his [846] resurrection [386]. 44 1 23 And [2532] they appointed [2476] two [1417], Joseph [2501] called [2564] Barsabas [923], who [3739] was surnamed [1941] Justus [2459], and [2532] Matthias [3159]. 44 1 24 And [2532] they prayed [4336], and said [2036], Thou [4771], Lord [2962], which knowest the hearts [2589] of all [3956] men, shew [322] whether [3739] [1520] of [1537] these [5130] two [1417] thou hast chosen [1586], 44 1 25 That he may take [2983] part [2819] of this [5026] ministry [1248] and [2532] apostleship [651], from [1537] which [3739] Judas [2455] by transgression fell [3845], that he might go [4198] to [1519] his own [2398] place [5117]. 44 1 26 And [2532] they gave forth [1325] their [846] lots [2819]; and [2532] the lot [2819] fell [4098] upon [1909] Matthias [3159]; and [2532] he was numbered [4785] with [3326] the eleven [1733] apostles [652]. 44 2 1 And [2532] when [1722] the day [2250] of Pentecost [4005] was fully come [4845], they were [2258] all [537] with one accord [3661] in [1909] one place [846]. 44 2 2 And [2532] suddenly [869] there came [1096] a sound [2279] from [1537] heaven [3772] as [5618] of a rushing [5342] mighty [972] wind [4157], and [2532] it filled [4137] all [3650] the house [3624] where [3757] they were [2258] sitting [2521]. 44 2 3 And [2532] there appeared [3700] unto them [846] cloven [1266] tongues [1100] like as [5616] of fire [4442], and [5037] it sat [2523] upon [1909] each [1538] [1520] of them [846]. 44 2 4 And [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] began [756] to speak with [2980] other [2087] tongues [1100], as [2531] the Spirit [4151] gave [1325] them [846] utterance [669]. 44 2 5 And [1161] there were [2258] dwelling [2730] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419] Jews [2453], devout [2126] men [435], out of [575] every [3956] nation [1484] under [5259] heaven [3772]. 44 2 6 Now [1161] when this [5026] was [1096] noised abroad [5456], the multitude [4128] came together [4905], and [2532] were confounded [4797], because [3754] that every [1538] man [1520] heard [191] them [846] speak [2980] in his own [2398] language [1258]. 44 2 7 And [1161] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839] and [2532] marvelled [2296], saying [3004] one to another [4314] [240], Behold [2400], are [1526] not [3756] all [3956] these [3778] which [3588] speak [2980] Galilaeans [1057]? 44 2 8 And [2532] how [4459] hear [191] we [2249] every [1538] man in our [2257] own [2398] tongue [1258], wherein [1722] [3739] we were born [1080]? 44 2 9 Parthians [3934], and [2532] Medes [3370], and [2532] Elamites [1639], and [2532] the dwellers [2730] in Mesopotamia [3318], and [5037] in Judaea [2449], and [2532] Cappadocia [2587], in Pontus [4195], and [2532] Asia [773], 44 2 10 [5037] Phrygia [5435], and [5037] [2532] Pamphylia [3828], in Egypt [125], and [2532] in the parts [3313] of Libya [3033] about [2596] Cyrene [2957], and [2532] strangers [1927] of Rome [4514], [5037] Jews [2453] and [5037] [2532] proselytes [4339], 44 2 11 Cretes [2912] and [2532] Arabians [690], we do hear [191] them [846] speak [2980] in our [2251] tongues [1100] the wonderful works [3167] of God [2316]. 44 2 12 And [1161] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839], and [2532] were in doubt [1280], saying [3004] one [243] to [4314] another [243], What [5101] meaneth [2309] [302] [1511] this [5124]? 44 2 13 [1161] Others [2087] mocking [5512] said [3004], [3754] These men are [1526] full [3325] of new wine [1098]. 44 2 14 But [1161] Peter [4074], standing up [2476] with [4862] the eleven [1733], lifted up [1869] his [846] voice [5456], and [2532] said [669] unto them [846], Ye men [435] of Judaea [2453], and [2532] all [537] ye that dwell [2730] at Jerusalem [2419], be [2077] this [5124] known [1110] unto you [5213], and [2532] hearken [1801] to my [3450] words [4487]: 44 2 15 For [1063] these [3778] are [3184] not [3756] drunken [3184], as [5613] ye [5210] suppose [5274], seeing [1063] it is [2076] but the third [5154] hour [5610] of the day [2250]. 44 2 16 But [235] this [5124] is [2076] that which was spoken [2046] by [1223] the prophet [4396] Joel [2493]; 44 2 17 And [2532] it shall come to pass [2071] in [1722] the last [2078] days [2250], saith [3004] God [2316], I will pour out [1632] of [575] my [3450] Spirit [4151] upon [1909] all [3956] flesh [4561]: and [2532] your [5216] sons [5207] and [2532] your [5216] daughters [2364] shall prophesy [4395], and [2532] your [5216] young men [3495] shall see [3700] visions [3706], and [2532] your [5216] old men [4245] shall dream [1798] dreams [1797]: 44 2 18 And [2532] [1065] on [1909] my [3450] servants [1401] and [2532] on [1909] my [3450] handmaidens [1399] I will pour out [1632] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250] of [575] my [3450] Spirit [4151]; and [2532] they shall prophesy [4395]: 44 2 19 And [2532] I will shew [1325] wonders [5059] in [1722] heaven [3772] above [507], and [2532] signs [4592] in [1909] the earth [1093] beneath [2736]; blood [129], and [2532] fire [4442], and [2532] vapour [822] of smoke [2586]: 44 2 20 The sun [2246] shall be turned [3344] into [1519] darkness [4655], and [2532] the moon [4582] into [1519] blood [129], before [2228] [4250] that great [3173] and [2532] notable [2016] day [2250] of the Lord [2962] come [2064]: 44 2 21 And [2532] it shall come to pass [2071], that whosoever [3739] [3956] [302] shall call on [1941] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] shall be saved [4982]. 44 2 22 Ye men [435] of Israel [2475], hear [191] these [5128] words [3056]; Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], a man [435] approved [584] of [575] God [2316] among [1519] you [5209] by miracles [1411] and [2532] wonders [5059] and [2532] signs [4592], which [3739] God [2316] did [4160] by [1223] him [846] in [1722] the midst [3319] of you [5216], as [2531] ye yourselves [846] also [2532] know [1492]: 44 2 23 Him [5126], being delivered [1560] by the determinate [3724] counsel [1012] and [2532] foreknowledge [4268] of God [2316], ye have taken [2983], and by [1223] wicked [459] hands [5495] have crucified [4362] and slain [337]: 44 2 24 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath raised up [450], having loosed [3089] the pains [5604] of death [2288]: because [2530] it was [2258] not [3756] possible [1415] that he [846] should be holden [2902] of [5259] it [846]. 44 2 25 For [1063] David [1138] speaketh [3004] concerning [1519] him [846], I foresaw [4308] the Lord [2962] always [1223] [3956] before [1799] my [3450] face, for [3754] he is [2076] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], that [3363] I should [4531] not [3363] be moved [4531]: 44 2 26 Therefore [1223] [5124] did [2165] my [3450] heart [2588] rejoice [2165], and [2532] my [3450] tongue [1100] was glad [21]; moreover [1161] [2089] also [2532] my [3450] flesh [4561] shall rest [2681] in [1909] hope [1680]: 44 2 27 Because [3754] thou wilt [1459] not [3756] leave [1459] my [3450] soul [5590] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] wilt thou suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312]. 44 2 28 Thou hast made known [1107] to me [3427] the ways [3598] of life [2222]; thou shalt make [4137] me [3165] full [4137] of joy [2167] with [3326] thy [4675] countenance [4383]. 44 2 29 Men [435] and brethren [80], let [2036] me [1832] freely [3326] [3954] speak [2036] unto [4314] you [5209] of [4012] the patriarch [3966] David [1138], that [3754] he is [5053] both [2532] dead [5053] and [2532] buried [2290], and [2532] his [846] sepulchre [3418] is [2076] with [1722] us [2254] unto [891] this [5026] day [2250]. 44 2 30 Therefore [3767] being [5225] a prophet [4396], and [2532] knowing [1492] that [3754] God [2316] had sworn [3660] with an oath [3727] to him [846], that of [1537] the fruit [2590] of his [846] loins [3751], according to [2596] the flesh [4561], he would raise up [450] Christ [5547] to sit [2523] on [1909] his [846] throne [2362]; 44 2 31 He seeing this before [4275] spake [2980] of [4012] the resurrection [386] of Christ [5547], that [3754] his [846] soul [5590] was [2641] not [3756] left [2641] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] his [846] flesh [4561] did see [1492] corruption [1312]. 44 2 32 This [5126] Jesus [2424] hath [450] God [2316] raised up [450], whereof [3739] we [2249] all [3956] are [2070] witnesses [3144]. 44 2 33 Therefore [3767] being [5312] by the right hand [1188] of God [2316] exalted [5312], and [5037] having received [2983] of [3844] the Father [3962] the promise [1860] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], he hath shed forth [1632] this [5124], which [3739] ye [5210] now [3568] see [991] and [2532] hear [191]. 44 2 34 For [1063] David [1138] is not [3756] ascended [305] into [1519] the heavens [3772]: but [1161] he saith [3004] himself [846], The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], 44 2 35 Until [2193] I make [302] [5087] thy [4675] foes [2190] thy [4675] footstool [4228] [5286]. 44 2 36 Therefore [3767] let [1097] all [3956] the house [3624] of Israel [2474] know [1097] assuredly [806], that [3754] God [2316] hath made [4160] that same [5126] Jesus [2424], whom [3739] ye [5210] have crucified [4717], both [2532] Lord [2962] and [2532] Christ [5547]. 44 2 37 Now [1161] when they heard [191] this, they were pricked [2660] in their heart [2588], and [5037] said [2036] unto [4314] Peter [4074] and [2532] to the rest [3062] of the apostles [652], Men [435] and brethren [80], what [5101] shall we do [4160]? 44 2 38 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [5346] unto [4314] them [846], Repent [3340], and [2532] be baptized [907] every one [1538] of you [5216] in [1909] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266], and [2532] ye shall receive [2983] the gift [1431] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 2 39 For [1063] the promise [1860] is [2076] unto you [5213], and [2532] to your [5216] children [5043], and [2532] to all [3956] that are afar off [1519] [3112], even as many as [3745] the Lord [2962] our [2257] God [2316] shall call [302] [4341]. 44 2 40 And [5037] with many [4119] other [2087] words [3056] did he testify [1263] and [2532] exhort [3870], saying [3004], Save yourselves [4982] from [575] this [5026] untoward [4646] generation [1074]. 44 2 41 Then [3303] [3767] they that gladly [780] received [588] his [846] word [3056] were baptized [907]: and [2532] the same [1565] day [2250] there were added [4369] unto them about [5616] three thousand [5153] souls [5590]. 44 2 42 And [1161] they continued [2258] stedfastly [4342] in the apostles [652]' doctrine [1322] and [2532] fellowship [2842], and [2532] in breaking [2800] of bread [740], and [2532] in prayers [4335]. 44 2 43 And [1161] fear [5401] came upon [1096] every [3956] soul [5590]: and [5037] many [4183] wonders [5059] and [2532] signs [4592] were done [1096] by [1223] the apostles [652]. 44 2 44 And [1161] all [3956] that believed [4100] were [2258] together [1909] [846], and [2532] had [2192] all things [537] common [2839]; 44 2 45 And [2532] sold [4097] their possessions [2933] and [2532] goods [5223], and [2532] parted [1266] them [846] to all [3956] men, as [2530] every man [5100] had [302] [2192] need [5532]. 44 2 46 And [5037] they, continuing [4342] daily [2596] [2250] with one accord [3661] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [5037] breaking [2806] bread [740] from [2596] house to house [3624], did eat [3335] their meat [5160] with [1722] gladness [20] and [2532] singleness [858] of heart [2588], 44 2 47 Praising [134] God [2316], and [2532] having [2192] favour [5485] with [4314] all [3650] the people [2992]. And [1161] the Lord [2962] added [4369] to the church [1577] daily [2596] [2250] such as should be saved [4982]. 44 3 1 Now [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] went up [305] together [1909] [846] into [1519] the temple [2411] at the hour [5610] of prayer [4335], being the ninth [1766] hour. 44 3 2 And [2532] a certain [5100] man [435] lame [5225] [5560] from [1537] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836] was carried [941], whom [3739] they laid [5087] daily [2250] [2596] at [4314] the gate [2374] of the temple [2411] which [3588] is called [3004] Beautiful [5611], to ask [154] alms [1654] of [3844] them that entered [1531] into [1519] the temple [2411]; 44 3 3 Who [3739] seeing [1492] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] about [3195] to go [1524] into [1519] the temple [2411] asked [2065] [2983] an alms [1654]. 44 3 4 And [1161] Peter [4074], fastening his eyes [816] upon [1519] him [846] with [4862] John [2491], said [2036], Look [991] on [1519] us [2248]. 44 3 5 And [1161] he gave heed [1907] unto them [846], expecting [4328] to receive [2983] something [5100] of [3844] them [846]. 44 3 6 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Silver [694] and [2532] gold [5553] have [5225] I [3427] none [3756]; but [1161] such as [3739] [5124] I have [2192] give I [1325] thee [4671]: In [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] of Nazareth [3480] rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043]. 44 3 7 And [2532] he took [4084] him [846] by the right [1188] hand [5495], and lifted him up [1453]: and [1161] immediately [3916] his [846] feet [939] and [2532] ankle bones [4974] received strength [4732]. 44 3 8 And [2532] he leaping up [1814] stood [2476], and [2532] walked [4043], and [2532] entered [1525] with [4862] them [846] into [1519] the temple [2411], walking [4043], and [2532] leaping [242], and [2532] praising [134] God [2316]. 44 3 9 And [2532] all [3956] the people [2992] saw [1492] him [846] walking [4043] and [2532] praising [134] God [2316]: 44 3 10 And [5037] they knew [1921] that [3754] it [846] was [2258] he [3778] which [3588] sat [2521] for [4314] alms [1654] at [1909] the Beautiful [5611] gate [4439] of the temple [2411]: and [2532] they were filled [4130] with wonder [2285] and [2532] amazement [1611] at [1909] that which had happened [4819] unto him [846]. 44 3 11 And [1161] as the lame man [5560] which was healed [2390] held [2902] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491], all [3956] the people [2992] ran together [4936] unto [4314] them [846] in [1909] the porch [4745] that is called [2564] Solomon's [4672], greatly wondering [1569]. 44 3 12 And [1161] when Peter [4074] saw [1492] it, he answered [611] unto [4314] the people [2992], Ye men [435] of Israel [2475], why [5101] marvel ye [2296] at [1909] this [5129]? or [2228] why [5101] look ye so earnestly [816] on us [2254], as though [5613] by our own [2398] power [1411] or [2228] holiness [2150] we had made [4160] this man [846] to walk [4043]? 44 3 13 The God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] of Jacob [2384], the God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962], hath glorified [1392] his [846] Son [3816] Jesus [2424]; whom [3739] ye [5210] delivered up [3860], and [2532] denied [720] him [846] in [2596] the presence [4383] of Pilate [4091], when he was determined [2919] to let [630] him [1565] go [630]. 44 3 14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213]; 44 3 15 And [1161] killed [615] the Prince [747] of life [2222], whom [3739] God [2316] hath raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]; whereof [3739] we [2249] are [2070] witnesses [3144]. 44 3 16 And [2532] his [846] name [3686] through [1909] faith [4102] in his [846] name [3686] hath made [4732] this man [5026] strong [4732], whom [3739] ye see [2334] and [2532] know [1492]: yea [2532], the faith [4102] which is [1325] by [1223] him [846] hath given [1325] him [846] this [5126] perfect soundness [3647] in the presence [561] of you [5216] all [3956]. 44 3 17 And [2532] now [3568], brethren [80], I wot [1492] that [3754] through [2596] ignorance [52] ye did [4238] it, as [5618] did also [2532] your [5216] rulers [758]. 44 3 18 But [1161] those things, which [3739] God [2316] before had shewed [4293] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of all [3956] his [846] prophets [4396], that Christ [5547] should suffer [3958], he hath [4137] so [3779] fulfilled [4137]. 44 3 19 Repent ye [3340] therefore [3767], and [2532] be converted [1994], that [1519] your [5216] sins [266] may be blotted out [1813], when [3704] the times [2540] of refreshing [403] shall come [302] [2064] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962]; 44 3 20 And [2532] he shall send [649] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which before was preached [4296] unto you [5213]: 44 3 21 Whom [3739] the heaven [3772] [3303] must [1163] receive [1209] until [891] the times [5550] of restitution [605] of all things [3956], which [3739] God [2316] hath spoken [2980] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of all [3956] his [846] holy [40] prophets [4396] since [575] the world began [165]. 44 3 22 For [1063] Moses [3475] truly [3303] said [2036] unto [4314] the fathers [3962], [3754] A prophet [4396] shall [450] the Lord [2962] your [5216] God [2316] raise up [450] unto you [5213] of [1537] your [5216] brethren [80], like [5613] unto me [1691]; him [846] shall ye hear [191] in [2596] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] [302] he shall say [2980] unto [4314] you [5209]. 44 3 23 And [1161] it shall come to pass [2071], that every [3956] soul [5590], which [3748] [302] will [191] not [3361] hear [191] that [1565] prophet [4396], shall be destroyed [1842] from among [1537] the people [2992]. 44 3 24 Yea [2532], and [1161] all [3956] the prophets [4396] from [575] Samuel [4545] and [2532] those that follow after [2517], as many as [3745] have spoken [2980], have [4293] likewise [2532] foretold [4293] of these [5025] days [2250]. 44 3 25 Ye [5210] are [2075] the children [5207] of the prophets [4396], and [2532] of the covenant [1242] which [3739] God [2316] made [1303] with [4314] our [2257] fathers [3962], saying [3004] unto [4314] Abraham [11], And [2532] in thy [4675] seed [4690] shall [1757] all [3956] the kindreds [3965] of the earth [1093] be blessed [1757]. 44 3 26 Unto you [5213] first [4412] God [2316], having raised up [450] his [846] Son [3816] Jesus [2424], sent [649] him [846] to bless [2127] you [5209], in [1722] turning away [654] every one [1538] of you [5216] from [575] his iniquities [4189]. 44 4 1 And [1161] as they [846] spake [2980] unto [4314] the people [2992], the priests [2409], and [2532] the captain [4755] of the temple [2411], and [2532] the Sadducees [4523], came upon [2186] them [846], 44 4 2 Being grieved [1278] that [1223] they [846] taught [1321] the people [2992], and [2532] preached [2605] through [1722] Jesus [2424] the resurrection [386] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 44 4 3 And [2532] they laid [1911] hands [5495] on them [846], and [2532] put [5087] them in [1519] hold [5084] unto [1519] the next day [839]: for [1063] it was [2258] now [2235] eventide [2073]. 44 4 4 Howbeit [1161] many [4183] of them which heard [191] the word [3056] believed [4100]; and [2532] the number [706] of the men [435] was [1096] about [5616] five [4002] thousand [5505]. 44 4 5 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] on [1909] the morrow [839], that their [846] rulers [758], and [2532] elders [4245], and [2532] scribes [1122], 44 4 6 And [2532] Annas [452] the high priest [749], and [2532] Caiaphas [2533], and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] Alexander [223], and [2532] as many as [3745] were [2258] of [1537] the kindred [1085] of the high priest [748], were gathered together [4863] at [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 4 7 And [2532] when they had set [2476] them [846] in [1722] the midst [3319], they asked [4441], By [1722] what [4169] power [1411], or [2228] by [1722] what [4169] name [3686], have [4160] ye [5210] done [4160] this [5124]? 44 4 8 Then [5119] Peter [4074], filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye rulers [758] of the people [2992], and [2532] elders [4245] of Israel [2474], 44 4 9 If [1487] we [2249] this day [4594] be examined [350] of [1909] the good deed done [2108] to the impotent [772] man [444], by [1722] what means [5101] he [3778] is made whole [4982]; 44 4 10 Be it [2077] known [1110] unto you [5213] all [3956], and [2532] to all [3956] the people [2992] of Israel [2474], that [3754] by [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] of Nazareth [3480], whom [3739] ye [5210] crucified [4717], whom [3739] God [2316] raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], even by [1722] him [5129] doth [3936] this man [3778] stand here [3936] before [1799] you [5216] whole [5199]. 44 4 11 This [3778] is [2076] the stone [3037] which [3588] was set at nought [1848] of [5259] you [5216] builders [3618], which [3588] is become [1096] the head [2776] of [1519] the corner [1137]. 44 4 12 Neither [2532] [3756] is there [2076] salvation [4991] in [1722] any [3762] other [243]: for [1063] there is [2076] none [3777] other [2087] name [3686] under [5259] heaven [3772] given [1325] among [1722] men [444], whereby [1722] [3739] we [2248] must [1163] be saved [4982]. 44 4 13 Now [1161] when they saw [2334] the boldness [3954] of Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491], and [2532] perceived [2638] that [3754] they were [1526] unlearned [62] and [2532] ignorant [2399] men [444], they marvelled [2296]; and [5037] they took knowledge [1921] of them [846], that [3754] they had been [2258] with [4862] Jesus [2424]. 44 4 14 And [1161] beholding [991] the man [444] which was healed [2323] standing [2476] with [4862] them [846], they could [2192] say [471] nothing [3762] against it [471]. 44 4 15 But [1161] when they had commanded [2753] them [846] to go aside [565] out of [1854] the council [4892], they conferred [4820] among [4314] themselves [240], 44 4 16 Saying [3004], What [5101] shall we do [4160] to these [5125] men [444]? for [1063] that [3754] indeed [3303] a notable [1110] miracle [4592] hath been done [1096] by [1223] them [846] is manifest [5318] to all them [3956] that dwell [2730] in Jerusalem [2419]; and [2532] we cannot [3756] [1410] deny [720] it. 44 4 17 But [235] that [3363] it spread [1268] no [3363] further [1909] [4119] among [1519] the people [2992], let us straitly [547] threaten [546] them [846], that they speak [2980] henceforth [3371] to no [3367] man [444] in [1909] this [5129] name [3686]. 44 4 18 And [2532] they called [2564] them [846], and commanded [3853] them [846] not [3361] to speak [5350] at all [2527] nor [3366] teach [1321] in [1909] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424]. 44 4 19 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] answered [611] and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Whether [1487] it be [2076] right [1342] in the sight [1799] of God [2316] to hearken [191] unto you [5216] more than [3123] [2228] unto God [2316], judge ye [2919]. 44 4 20 For [1063] we [2249] cannot [3756] [1410] but [3361] speak [2980] the things which [3739] we have seen [1492] and [2532] heard [191]. 44 4 21 So [1161] when they had further threatened them [4324], they let [630] them [846] go [630], finding [2147] nothing [3367] how [4459] they might punish [2849] them [846], because [1223] of the people [2992]: for [3754] all [3956] men glorified [1392] God [2316] for [1909] that which was done [1096]. 44 4 22 For [1063] the man [444] was [2258] above [4119] forty [5062] years old [2094], on [1909] whom [3739] this [5124] miracle [4592] of healing [2392] was shewed [1096]. 44 4 23 And [1161] being let go [630], they went [2064] to [4314] their own company [2398], and [2532] reported [518] all [3745] that the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] had said [2036] unto [4314] them [846]. 44 4 24 And [1161] when they heard that [191], they lifted up [142] their voice [5456] to [4314] God [2316] with one accord [3661], and [2532] said [2036], Lord [1203], thou [4771] art God [2316], which [3588] hast made [4160] heaven [3772], and [2532] earth [1093], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that in [1722] them is [846]: 44 4 25 Who [3588] by [1223] the mouth [4750] of thy [4675] servant [3816] David [1138] hast said [2036], Why [2444] did [5433] the heathen [1484] rage [5433], and [2532] the people [2992] imagine [3191] vain things [2756]? 44 4 26 The kings [935] of the earth [1093] stood up [3936], and [2532] the rulers [758] were gathered [4863] together [1909] [846] against [2596] the Lord [2962], and [2532] against [2596] his [846] Christ [5547]. 44 4 27 For [1063] of [1909] a truth [225] against [1909] thy [4675] holy [40] child [3816] Jesus [2424], whom [3739] thou hast anointed [5548], both [5037] Herod [2264], and [2532] Pontius [4194] Pilate [4091], with [4862] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] the people [2992] of Israel [2474], were gathered together [4863], 44 4 28 For to do [4160] whatsoever [3745] thy [4675] hand [5495] and [2532] thy [4675] counsel [1012] determined before [4309] to be done [1096]. 44 4 29 And [2532] now [3569], Lord [2962], behold [1896] [1909] their [846] threatenings [547]: and [2532] grant unto [1325] thy [4675] servants [1401], that with [3326] all [3956] boldness [3954] they may speak [2980] thy [4675] word [3056], 44 4 30 By [1722] [4571] stretching forth [1614] thine [4675] hand [5495] to [1519] heal [2392]; and [2532] that signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059] may be done [1096] by [1223] the name [3686] of thy [4675] holy [40] child [3816] Jesus [2424]. 44 4 31 And [2532] when they [846] had prayed [1189], the place [5117] was shaken [4531] where [1722] [3739] they were [2258] assembled together [4863]; and [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] they spake [2980] the word [3056] of God [2316] with [3326] boldness [3954]. 44 4 32 And [1161] the multitude [4128] of them that believed [4100] were [2258] of one heart [2588] and [2532] of one [3391] soul [5590]: neither [2532] [3761] said [3004] any [1520] of them that ought [5100] of the things which he [846] possessed [5224] was [1511] his own [2398]; but [235] they [846] had [2258] all things [537] common [2839]. 44 4 33 And [2532] with great [3173] power [1411] gave [591] the apostles [652] witness [3142] of the resurrection [386] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]: and [5037] great [3173] grace [5485] was [2258] upon [1909] them [846] all [3956]. 44 4 34 Neither [3761] [1063] was [5225] there any [5100] among [1722] them [846] that lacked [1729]: for [1063] as many as [3745] were [5225] possessors [2935] of lands [5564] or [2228] houses [3614] sold them [4453], and brought [5342] the prices [5092] of the things that were sold [4097], 44 4 35 And [2532] laid them down [5087] at [3844] the apostles [652]' feet [4228]: and [1161] distribution was made [1239] unto every man [1538] according [2530] as [302] he had [2192] need [5100] [5532]. 44 4 36 And [1161] Joses [2500], who [3588] by [5259] the apostles [652] was surnamed [1941] Barnabas [921], (which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], The son [5207] of consolation [3874],) a Levite [3019], and of the country [1085] of Cyprus [2953], 44 4 37 Having [5225] [846] land [68], sold [4453] it, and brought [5342] the money [5536], and [2532] laid [5087] it at [3844] the apostles [652]' feet [4228]. 44 5 1 But [1161] a certain [5100] man [435] named [3686] Ananias [367], with [4862] Sapphira [4551] his [846] wife [1135], sold [4453] a possession [2933], 44 5 2 And [2532] kept back [3557] part of [575] the price [5092], his [846] wife [1135] also [2532] being privy [4894] to it, and [2532] brought [5342] a certain [5100] part [3313], and laid [5087] it at [3844] the apostles [652]' feet [4228]. 44 5 3 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Ananias [367], why [1302] hath Satan [4567] filled [4137] thine [4675] heart [2588] [4571] to lie [5574] to the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] to keep back [3557] part of [575] the price [5092] of the land [5564]? 44 5 4 Whiles it remained [3306], was it not [3780] thine own [4671] [3306]? and [2532] after it was sold [4097], was it not [5225] in [1722] thine own [4674] power [1849]? why [5101] [3754] hast thou conceived [5087] this [5124] thing [4229] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588]? thou hast [5574] not [3756] lied [5574] unto men [444], but [235] unto God [2316]. 44 5 5 And [1161] Ananias [367] hearing [191] these [5128] words [3056] fell down [4098], and gave up the ghost [1634]: and [2532] great [3173] fear [5401] came [1096] on [1909] all [3956] them that heard [191] these things [5023]. 44 5 6 And [1161] the young men [3501] arose [450], wound [4958] him [846] up [4958], and [2532] carried him out [1627], and buried [2290] him. 44 5 7 And [1161] it was [1096] about [5613] the space [1292] of three [5140] hours [5610] after [1292], when [2532] his [846] wife [1135], not [3361] knowing [1492] what was done [1096], came in [1525]. 44 5 8 And [1161] Peter [4074] answered [611] unto her [846], Tell [2036] me [3427] whether [1487] ye sold [591] the land [5564] for so much [5118]? And [1161] she said [2036], Yea [3483], for so much [5118]. 44 5 9 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto [4314] her [846], How [5101] is it that [3754] ye [5213] have agreed together [4856] to tempt [3985] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962]? behold [2400], the feet [4228] of them which have buried [2290] thy [4675] husband [435] are at [1909] the door [2374], and [2532] shall carry [1627] thee [4571] out [1627]. 44 5 10 Then [1161] fell she down [4098] straightway [3916] at [3844] his [846] feet [4228], and [2532] yielded up the ghost [1634]: and [1161] the young men [3495] came in [1525], and found [2147] her [846] dead [3498], and [2532], carrying her forth [1627], buried [2290] her by [4314] her [846] husband [435]. 44 5 11 And [2532] great [3173] fear [5401] came [1096] upon [1909] all [3650] the church [1577], and [2532] upon [1909] as many as [3956] heard [191] these things [5023]. 44 5 12 And [1161] by [1223] the hands [5495] of the apostles [652] were [1096] many [4183] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059] wrought [1096] [1096] among [1722] the people [2992]; (and [2532] they were [2258] all [537] with one accord [3661] in [1722] Solomon's [4672] porch [4745]. 44 5 13 And [1161] of the rest [3062] durst [5111] no man [3762] join himself [2853] to them [846]: but [235] the people [2992] magnified [3170] them [846]. 44 5 14 And [1161] believers [4100] were [4369] the more [3123] added [4369] to the Lord [2962], multitudes [4128] both [5037] of men [435] and [2532] women [1135].) 44 5 15 Insomuch [5620] that they brought forth [1627] the sick [772] into [2596] the streets [4113], and [2532] laid [5087] them on [1909] beds [2825] and [2532] couches [2895], that [2443] at the least [2579] the shadow [4639] of Peter [4074] passing by [2064] might overshadow [1982] some [5100] of them [846]. 44 5 16 [1161] There came [4905] also [2532] a multitude [4128] out of the cities [4172] round about [4038] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], bringing [5342] sick [772] folks, and [2532] them which were vexed [3791] with [5259] unclean [169] spirits [4151]: and they [3748] were healed [2323] every one [537]. 44 5 17 Then [1161] the high priest [749] rose up [450], and [2532] all they [3956] that were with [4862] him [846], (which [3588] is [5607] the sect [139] of the Sadducees [4523],) and were filled [4130] with indignation [2205], 44 5 18 And [2532] laid [1911] their [846] hands [5495] on [1909] the apostles [652], and [2532] put [5087] them [846] in [1722] the common [1219] prison [5084]. 44 5 19 But [1161] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] by [1223] night [3571] opened [455] the prison [5438] doors [2374], and [5037] brought [1806] them [846] forth [1806], and said [2036], 44 5 20 Go [4198], stand [2476] and [2532] speak [2980] in [1722] the temple [2411] to the people [2992] all [3956] the words [4487] of this [5026] life [2222]. 44 5 21 And [1161] when they heard [191] that, they entered [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] early in the morning [5259] [3722], and [2532] taught [1321]. But [1161] the high priest [749] came [3854], and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846], and called [4779] the council [4892] together [4779], and [2532] all [3956] the senate [1087] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474], and [2532] sent [649] to [1519] the prison [1201] to have [71] them [846] brought [71]. 44 5 22 But [1161] when the officers [5257] came [3854], and found [2147] them [846] not [3756] in [1722] the prison [5438], they returned [390], and [1161] told [518], 44 5 23 Saying [3004], [3754] The prison [1201] truly [3303] found we [2147] shut [2808] with [1722] all [3956] safety [803], and [2532] the keepers [5441] standing [2476] without [1854] before [4253] the doors [2374]: but [1161] when we had opened [455], we found [2147] no man [3762] within [2080]. 44 5 24 Now [1161] when [5613] [5037] the high priest [2409] and [2532] the captain [4755] of the temple [2411] and [2532] the chief priests [749] heard [191] these [5128] things [3056], they doubted [1280] of [4012] them [846] whereunto [5101] [302] this [5124] would grow [1096]. 44 5 25 Then came [3854] one [5100] and [1161] told [518] them [846], saying [3004], [3754] Behold [2400], the men [435] whom [3739] ye put [5087] in [1722] prison [5438] are [1526] standing [2476] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] teaching [1321] the people [2992]. 44 5 26 Then [5119] went [565] the captain [4755] with [4862] the officers [5257], and brought [71] them [846] without [3756] [3326] violence [970]: for [1063] they feared [5399] the people [2992], lest [3363] they should have been stoned [3034]. 44 5 27 And [1161] when they had brought [71] them [846], they set [2476] them before [1722] the council [4892]: and [2532] the high priest [749] asked [1905] them [846], 44 5 28 Saying [3004], Did [3853] not [3756] we straitly [3852] command [3853] you [5213] that ye should [1321] not [3361] teach [1321] in [1909] this [5129] name [3686]? and [2532], behold [2400], ye have filled [4137] Jerusalem [2419] with your [5216] doctrine [1322], and [2532] intend [1014] to bring [1863] this [5127] man's [444] blood [129] upon [1909] us [2248]. 44 5 29 Then [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] the other apostles [652] answered [611] and said [2036], We ought [1163] to obey [3980] God [2316] rather [3123] than [2228] men [444]. 44 5 30 The God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962] raised up [1453] Jesus [2424], whom [3739] ye [5210] slew [1315] and hanged [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]. 44 5 31 Him [5126] hath God [2316] exalted [5312] with his [846] right hand [1188] to be a Prince [747] and [2532] a Saviour [4990], for to give [1325] repentance [3341] to Israel [2474], and [2532] forgiveness [859] of sins [266]. 44 5 32 And [2532] we [2249] are [2070] his [846] witnesses [3144] of these [5130] things [4487]; and [2532] so is also [1161] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], whom [3739] God [2316] hath given [1325] to them that obey [3980] him [846]. 44 5 33 When [1161] they heard [191] that, they were cut [1282] to the heart, and [2532] took counsel [1011] to slay [337] them [846]. 44 5 34 Then [1161] stood there up [450] one [5100] in [1722] the council [4892], a Pharisee [5330], named [3686] Gamaliel [1059], a doctor of the law [3547], had in reputation [5093] among all [3956] the people [2992], and commanded [2753] to put [4160] the apostles [652] forth [1854] a [5100] little space [1024]; 44 5 35 And [5037] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye men [435] of Israel [2475], take heed [4337] to yourselves [1438] what [5101] ye intend [3195] to do [4238] as touching [1909] these [5125] men [444]. 44 5 36 For [1063] before [4253] these [5130] days [2250] rose up [450] Theudas [2333], boasting [3004] himself [1438] to be [1511] somebody [5100]; to whom [3739] a number [706] of men [435], about [5616] four hundred [5071], joined themselves [4347]: who [3739] was slain [337]; and [2532] all [3956], as many as [3745] obeyed [3982] him [846], were scattered [1262], and [2532] brought [1096] to [1519] nought [3762]. 44 5 37 After [3326] this man [5126] rose up [450] Judas [2455] of Galilee [1057] in [1722] the days [2250] of the taxing [582], and [2532] drew away [868] much [2425] people [2992] after [3694] him [846]: he also [2548] perished [622]; and [2532] all [3956], even as many as [3745] obeyed [3982] him [846], were dispersed [1287]. 44 5 38 And [2532] now [3569] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Refrain [868] from [575] these [5130] men [444], and [2532] let [1439] them [846] alone [1439]: for [3754] if [1437] this [3778] counsel [1012] or [2228] this [5124] work [2041] be [5600] of [1537] men [444], it will come to nought [2647]: 44 5 39 But [1161] if [1487] it be [2076] of [1537] God [2316], ye cannot [3756] [1410] overthrow [2647] it [846]; lest haply [3379] ye be found [2147] even [2532] to fight against God [2314]. 44 5 40 And [1161] to him [846] they agreed [3982]: and [2532] when they had called [4341] the apostles [652], and beaten [1194] them, they commanded [3853] that they should [2980] not [3361] speak [2980] in [1909] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] let [630] them [846] go [630]. 44 5 41 And [3767] they departed [4198] [3303] from [575] the presence [4383] of the council [4892], rejoicing [5463] that [3754] they were counted worthy [2661] to suffer shame [818] for [5228] his [846] name [3686]. 44 5 42 And [5037] daily [2250] [3956] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] in every [2596] house [3624], they ceased [3973] not [3756] to teach [1321] and [2532] preach [2097] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 44 6 1 And [1161] in [1722] those [5025] days [2250], when the number [4129] of the disciples [3101] was multiplied [4129], there arose [1096] a murmuring [1112] of the Grecians [1675] against [4314] the Hebrews [1445], because [3754] their [846] widows [5503] were neglected [3865] in [1722] the daily [2522] ministration [1248]. 44 6 2 Then [1161] the twelve [1427] called [4341] the multitude [4128] of the disciples [3101] unto them, and said [2036], It is [2076] not [3756] reason [701] that we [2248] should leave [2641] the word [3056] of God [2316], and serve [1247] tables [5132]. 44 6 3 Wherefore [3767], brethren [80], look ye out [1980] among [1537] you [5216] seven [2033] men [435] of honest report [3140], full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] and [2532] wisdom [4678], whom [3739] we may appoint [2525] over [1909] this [5026] business [5532]. 44 6 4 But [1161] we [2249] will give ourselves continually [4342] to prayer [4335], and [2532] to the ministry [1248] of the word [3056]. 44 6 5 And [2532] the saying [3056] pleased [700] [1799] the whole [3956] multitude [4128]: and [2532] they chose [1586] Stephen [4736], a man [435] full [4134] of faith [4102] and [2532] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] Philip [5376], and [2532] Prochorus [4402], and [2532] Nicanor [3527], and [2532] Timon [5096], and [2532] Parmenas [3937], and [2532] Nicolas [3532] a proselyte [4339] of Antioch [491]: 44 6 6 Whom [3739] they set [2476] before [1799] the apostles [652]: and [2532] when they had prayed [4336], they laid [2007] their hands [5495] on [2007] them [846]. 44 6 7 And [2532] the word [3056] of God [2316] increased [837]; and [2532] the number [706] of the disciples [3101] multiplied [4129] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419] greatly [4970]; and [5037] a great [4183] company [3793] of the priests [2409] were obedient [5219] to the faith [4102]. 44 6 8 And [1161] Stephen [4736], full [4134] of faith [4102] and [2532] power [1411], did [4160] great [3173] wonders [5059] and [2532] miracles [4592] among [1722] the people [2992]. 44 6 9 Then [1161] there arose [450] certain [5100] of [1537] the synagogue [4864], which [3588] is called [3004] the synagogue of the Libertines [3032], and [2532] Cyrenians [2956], and [2532] Alexandrians [221], and [2532] of them of [575] Cilicia [2791] and [2532] of Asia [773], disputing [4802] with Stephen [4736]. 44 6 10 And [2532] they were [2480] not [3756] able [2480] to resist [436] the wisdom [4678] and [2532] the spirit [4151] by which [3739] he spake [2980]. 44 6 11 Then [5119] they suborned [5260] men [435], which said [3004], [3754] We have heard [191] him [846] speak [2980] blasphemous [989] words [4487] against [1519] Moses [3475], and [2532] against God [2316]. 44 6 12 And [5037] they stirred up [4787] the people [2992], and [2532] the elders [4245], and [2532] the scribes [1122], and [2532] came upon [2186] him, and caught [4884] him [846], and [2532] brought [71] him to [1519] the council [4892], 44 6 13 And [5037] set up [2476] false [5571] witnesses [3144], which said [3004], This [5127] man [444] ceaseth [3973] not [3756] to speak [2980] blasphemous [989] words [4487] against [2596] this [3778] holy [40] place [5117], and [2532] the law [3551]: 44 6 14 For [1063] we have heard [191] him [846] say [3004], that [3754] this [5126] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480] shall destroy [2647] this [3778] place [5117], and [2532] shall change [236] the customs [1485] which [3739] Moses [3475] delivered [3860] us [2254]. 44 6 15 And [2532] all [537] that sat [2516] in [1722] the council [4892], looking stedfastly [816] on [1519] him [846], saw [1492] his [846] face [4383] as it had been [5616] the face [4383] of an angel [32]. 44 7 1 Then [1161] said [2036] the high priest [749], Are [1487] [686] [2192] these things [5023] so [3779]? 44 7 2 And [1161] he said [5346], Men [435], brethren [80], and [2532] fathers [3962], hearken [191]; The God [2316] of glory [1391] appeared [3700] unto our [2257] father [3962] Abraham [11], when he was [5607] in [1722] Mesopotamia [3318], before [4250] [2228] he [846] dwelt [2730] in [1722] Charran [5488], 44 7 3 And [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Get thee [1831] out of [1537] thy [4675] country [1093], and [2532] from [1537] thy [4675] kindred [4772], and [2532] come [1204] into [1519] the land [1093] which [3739] [302] I shall shew [1166] thee [4671]. 44 7 4 Then [5119] came he [1831] out of [1537] the land [1093] of the Chaldaeans [5466], and dwelt [2730] in [1722] Charran [5488]: and from thence [2547], when [3326] his [846] father [3962] was dead [599], he removed [3351] him [846] into [1519] this [5026] land [1093], wherein [1519] [3739] ye [5210] now [3568] dwell [2730]. 44 7 5 And [2532] he gave [1325] him [846] none [3756] inheritance [2817] in [1722] it [846], no, not [3761] so much as to set [968] his foot [4228] on [968]: yet [2532] he promised [1861] that he would give [1325] it [846] to him [846] for [1519] a possession [2697], and [2532] to his [846] seed [4690] after [3326] him [846], when as yet he [846] had [5607] no [3756] child [5043]. 44 7 6 And [1161] God [2316] spake [2980] on this wise [3779], That [3754] his [846] seed [4690] should [2071] sojourn [3941] in [1722] a strange [245] land [1093]; and [2532] that they should bring [1402] them [846] into bondage [1402], and [2532] entreat them evil [2559] four hundred [5071] years [2094]. 44 7 7 And [2532] the nation [1484] to whom [3739] [1437] they shall be in bondage [1398] will [2919] I [1473] judge [2919], said [2036] God [2316]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5023] shall they come forth [1831], and [2532] serve [3000] me [3427] in [1722] this [5129] place [5117]. 44 7 8 And [2532] he gave [1325] him [846] the covenant [1242] of circumcision [4061]: and [2532] so [3779] Abraham begat [1080] Isaac [2464], and [2532] circumcised [4059] him [846] the eighth [3590] day [2250]; and [2532] Isaac [2464] begat Jacob [2384]; and [2532] Jacob [2384] begat the twelve [1427] patriarchs [3966]. 44 7 9 And [2532] the patriarchs [3966], moved with envy [2206], sold [591] Joseph [2501] into [1519] Egypt [125]: but [2532] God [2316] was [2258] with [3326] him [846], 44 7 10 And [2532] delivered [1807] him [846] out of [1537] all [3956] his [846] afflictions [2347], and [2532] gave [1325] him [846] favour [5485] and [2532] wisdom [4678] in the sight [1726] of Pharaoh [5328] king [935] of Egypt [125]; and [2532] he made [2525] him [846] governor [2233] over [1909] Egypt [125] and [2532] all [3650] his [846] house [3624]. 44 7 11 Now [1161] there came [2064] a dearth [3042] over [1909] all [3650] the land [1093] of Egypt [125] and [2532] Chanaan [5477], and [2532] great [3173] affliction [2347]: and [2532] our [2257] fathers [3962] found [2147] no [3756] sustenance [5527]. 44 7 12 But [1161] when Jacob [2384] heard [191] that there was [5607] corn [4621] in [1722] Egypt [125], he sent out [1821] our [2257] fathers [3962] first [4412]. 44 7 13 And [2532] at [1722] the second [1208] time Joseph [2501] was made known [319] to his [846] brethren [80]; and [2532] Joseph's [2501] kindred [1085] was made [1096] known [5318] unto Pharaoh [5328]. 44 7 14 Then [1161] sent [649] Joseph [2501], and called [3333] his [846] father [3962] Jacob [2384] to him, and [2532] all [3956] his [846] kindred [4772], [1722] threescore [1440] and fifteen [4002] souls [5590]. 44 7 15 So [1161] Jacob [2384] went down [2597] into [1519] Egypt [125], and [2532] died [5053], he [846], and [2532] our [2257] fathers [3962], 44 7 16 And [2532] were carried over [3346] into [1519] Sychem [4966], and [2532] laid [5087] in [1722] the sepulchre [3418] that [3739] Abraham [11] bought [5608] for a sum [5092] of money [694] of [3844] the sons [5207] of Emmor [1697] the father [3588] of Sychem [4966]. 44 7 17 But [1161] when [2531] the time [5550] of the promise [1860] drew nigh [1448], which [3739] God [2316] had sworn [3660] to Abraham [11], the people [2992] grew [837] and [2532] multiplied [4129] in [1722] Egypt [125], 44 7 18 Till [891] [3739] another [2087] king [935] arose [450], which [3739] knew [1492] not [3756] Joseph [2501]. 44 7 19 The same [3778] dealt subtilly [2686] with our [2257] kindred [1085], and evil entreated [2559] our [2257] fathers [3962], so that [4160] they cast out [1570] their [846] young children [1025], to the end [1519] they might [2225] not [3361] live [2225]. 44 7 20 In [1722] which [3739] time [2540] Moses [3475] was born [1080], and [2532] was [2258] exceeding [2316] fair [791], and [3739] nourished up [397] in [1722] his [846] father's [3962] house [3624] three [5140] months [3376]: 44 7 21 And [1161] when he [846] was cast out [1620], Pharaoh's [5328] daughter [2364] took [337] him [846] up [337], and [2532] nourished [397] him [846] for [1519] her own [1438] son [5207]. 44 7 22 And [2532] Moses [3475] was learned [3811] in all [3956] the wisdom [4678] of the Egyptians [124], and [1161] was [2258] mighty [1415] in [1722] words [3056] and [2532] in [1722] deeds [2041]. 44 7 23 And [1161] when [5613] he [846] was full [4137] forty years [5063] old [5550], it came [305] into [1909] his [846] heart [2588] to visit [1980] his [846] brethren [80] the children [5207] of Israel [2474]. 44 7 24 And [2532] seeing [1492] one [5100] of them suffer wrong [91], he defended [292] him, and [2532] avenged [1557] [4160] him that was oppressed [2669], and smote [3960] the Egyptian [124]: 44 7 25 For [1161] he supposed [3543] his [846] brethren [80] would have understood [4920] how [3754] that God [2316] by [1223] his [846] hand [5495] would deliver [1325] [4991] them [846]: but [1161] they understood [4920] not [3756]. 44 7 26 And [5037] the next [1966] day [2250] he shewed himself [3700] unto them [846] as they strove [3164], and [2532] would have set [4900] them [846] at [1519] one again [1515], saying [2036], Sirs [435], ye [5210] are [2075] brethren [80]; why [2444] do ye wrong [91] one to another [240]? 44 7 27 But [1161] he that did [91] his neighbour [4139] wrong [91] thrust [683] him [846] away [683], saying [2036], Who [5101] made [2525] thee [4571] a ruler [758] and [2532] a judge [1348] over [1909] us [2248]? 44 7 28 Wilt [3361] [2309] thou [4771] kill [337] me [3165], as [3739] [5158] thou diddest [337] the Egyptian [124] yesterday [5504]? 44 7 29 Then [1161] fled [5343] Moses [3475] at [1722] this [5129] saying [3056], and [2532] was [1096] a stranger [3941] in [1722] the land [1093] of Madian [3099], where [3757] he begat [1080] two [1417] sons [5207]. 44 7 30 And [2532] when forty [5062] years [2094] were expired [4137], there appeared [3700] to him [846] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] of mount [3735] Sina [4614] an angel [32] of the Lord [2962] in [1722] a flame [5395] of fire [4442] in a bush [942]. 44 7 31 When [1161] Moses [3475] saw [1492] it, he wondered [2296] at the sight [3705]: and [1161] as he [846] drew near [4334] to behold [2657] it, the voice [5456] of the Lord [2962] came [1096] unto [4314] him [846], 44 7 32 Saying, I [1473] am the God [2316] of thy [4675] fathers [3962], the God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] the God [2316] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]. Then [1161] Moses [3475] trembled [1096] [1790], and durst [5111] not [3756] behold [2657]. 44 7 33 Then [1161] said [2036] the Lord [2962] to him [846], Put off [3089] thy shoes [5266] from thy [4675] feet [4228]: for [1063] the place [5117] where [1722] [3739] thou standest [2476] is [2076] holy [40] ground [1093]. 44 7 34 I have seen [1492], I have seen [1492] the affliction [2561] of my [3450] people [2992] which [3588] is in [1722] Egypt [125], and [2532] I have heard [191] their [846] groaning [4726], and [2532] am come down [2597] to deliver [1807] them [846]. And [2532] now [3568] come [1204], I will send [649] thee [4571] into [1519] Egypt [125]. 44 7 35 This [5126] Moses [3475] whom [3739] they refused [720], saying [2036], Who [5101] made [2525] thee [4571] a ruler [758] and [2532] a judge [1348]? the same [5126] did God [2316] send [649] to be a ruler [758] and [2532] a deliverer [3086] by [1722] the hand [5495] of the angel [32] which [3588] appeared [3700] to him [846] in [1722] the bush [942]. 44 7 36 He [3778] brought [1806] them [846] out [1806], after that he had shewed [4160] wonders [5059] and [2532] signs [4592] in [1722] the land [1093] of Egypt [125], and [2532] in [1722] the Red [2063] sea [2281], and [2532] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] forty [5062] years [2094]. 44 7 37 This [3778] is [2076] that Moses [3475], which [3588] said [2036] unto the children [5207] of Israel [2474], A prophet [4396] shall [450] the Lord [2962] your [5216] God [2316] raise up [450] unto you [5213] of [1537] your [5216] brethren [80], like [5613] unto me [1691]; him [846] shall ye hear [191]. 44 7 38 This [3778] is he [2076], that was [1096] in [1722] the church [1577] in [1722] the wilderness [2048] with [3326] the angel [32] which [3588] spake [2980] to him [846] in [1722] the mount [3735] Sina [4614], and [2532] with our [2257] fathers [3962]: who [3739] received [1209] the lively [2198] oracles [3051] to give [1325] unto us [2254]: 44 7 39 To whom [3739] our [2257] fathers [3962] would [2309] not [3756] obey [1096] [5255], but [235] thrust him from them [683], and [2532] in their [846] hearts [2588] turned back again [4762] into [1519] Egypt [125], 44 7 40 Saying [2036] unto Aaron [2], Make [4160] us [2254] gods [2316] to [3739] go before [4313] us [2257]: for [1063] as for this [3778] Moses [3475], which [3739] brought [1806] us [2248] out of [1537] the land [1093] of Egypt [125], we wot [1492] not [3756] what [5101] is become [1096] of him [846]. 44 7 41 And [2532] they made a calf [3447] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], and [2532] offered [321] sacrifice [2378] unto the idol [1497], and [2532] rejoiced [2165] in [1722] the works [2041] of their own [846] hands [5495]. 44 7 42 Then [1161] God [2316] turned [4762], and [2532] gave [3860] them [846] up [3860] to worship [3000] the host [4756] of heaven [3772]; as it [2531] is written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of the prophets [4396], O ye house [3624] of Israel [2474], have ye offered [3361] [4374] to me [3427] slain beasts [4968] and [2532] sacrifices [2378] by the space of forty [5062] years [2094] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]? 44 7 43 Yea [2532], ye took up [353] the tabernacle [4633] of Moloch [3434], and [2532] the star [798] of your [5216] god [2316] Remphan [4481], figures [5179] which [3739] ye made [4160] to worship [4352] them [846]: and [2532] I will carry [3351] you [5209] away [3351] beyond [1900] Babylon [897]. 44 7 44 Our [2257] fathers [3962] had [2258] the tabernacle [4633] of witness [3142] [1722] in [1722] the wilderness [2048], as [2531] he had appointed [1299], speaking [2980] unto Moses [3475], that he should make [4160] it [846] according [2596] to the fashion [5179] that [3739] he had seen [3708]. 44 7 45 Which [3739] also [2532] our [2257] fathers [3962] that came [1237] after brought in [1521] with [3326] Jesus [2424] into [1722] the possession [2697] of the Gentiles [1484], whom [3739] God [2316] drave out [1856] before [575] the face [4383] of our [2257] fathers [3962], unto [2193] the days [2250] of David [1138]; 44 7 46 Who [3739] found [2147] favour [5485] before [1799] God [2316], and [2532] desired [154] to find [2147] a tabernacle [4638] for the God [2316] of Jacob [2384]. 44 7 47 But [1161] Solomon [4672] built [3618] him [846] an house [3624]. 44 7 48 Howbeit [235] the most High [5310] dwelleth [2730] not [3756] in [1722] temples [3485] made with hands [5499]; as [2531] saith [3004] the prophet [4396], 44 7 49 Heaven [3772] is my [3427] throne [2362], and [1161] earth [1093] is my [3450] footstool [4228] [5286]: what [4169] house [3624] will ye build [3618] me [3427]? saith [3004] the Lord [2962]: or [2228] what [5101] is the place [5117] of my [3450] rest [2663]? 44 7 50 Hath [4160] not [3780] my [3450] hand [5495] made [4160] all [3956] these things [5023]? 44 7 51 Ye stiffnecked [4644] and [2532] uncircumcised [564] in heart [2588] and [2532] ears [3775], ye [5210] do [496] always [104] resist [496] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: as [5613] your [5216] fathers [3962] did, so [2532] do ye [5210]. 44 7 52 Which [5101] of the prophets [4396] have [1377] not [3756] your [5216] fathers [3962] persecuted [1377]? and [2532] they have slain [615] them which [3588] shewed before [4293] of [4012] the coming [1660] of the Just One [1342]; of whom [3739] ye [5210] have been [1096] now [3568] the betrayers [4273] and [2532] murderers [5406]: 44 7 53 Who [3748] have received [2983] the law [3551] by [1519] the disposition [1296] of angels [32], and [2532] have [5442] not [3756] kept [5442] it. 44 7 54 When [1161] they heard [191] these things [5023], they were cut [1282] to the heart [2588] [846], and [2532] they gnashed [1031] on [1909] him [846] with their teeth [3599]. 44 7 55 But [1161] he, being [5225] full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], looked up stedfastly [816] into [1519] heaven [3772], and saw [1492] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] standing [2476] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of God [2316], 44 7 56 And [2532] said [2036], Behold [2400], I see [2334] the heavens [3772] opened [455], and [2532] the Son [5207] of man [444] standing [2476] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of God [2316]. 44 7 57 Then [1161] they cried out [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], and stopped [4912] their [846] ears [3775], and [2532] ran [3729] upon [1909] him [846] with one accord [3661], 44 7 58 And [2532] cast [1544] him out of [1854] the city [4172], and stoned [3036] him: and [2532] the witnesses [3144] laid down [659] their [846] clothes [2440] at [3844] a young man's [3494] feet [4228], whose name was [2564] Saul [4569]. 44 7 59 And [2532] they stoned [3036] Stephen [4736], calling upon [1941] God, and [2532] saying [3004], Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], receive [1209] my [3450] spirit [4151]. 44 7 60 And [1161] he kneeled down [5087] [1119], and cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Lord [2962], lay [2476] not [3361] this [5026] sin [266] to their [846] charge. And [2532] when he had said [2036] this [5124], he fell asleep [2837]. 44 8 1 And [1161] Saul [4569] was [2258] consenting [4909] unto his [846] death [336]. And [1161] at [1722] that [1565] time [2250] there was [1096] a great [3173] persecution [1375] against [1909] the church [1577] which [3588] was at [1722] Jerusalem [2414]; and [5037] they were [1289] all [3956] scattered abroad [1289] throughout [2596] the regions [5561] of Judaea [2449] and [2532] Samaria [4540], except [4133] the apostles [652]. 44 8 2 And [1161] devout [2126] men [435] carried [4792] Stephen [4736] to his burial, and [2532] made [4160] great [3173] lamentation [2870] over [1909] him [846]. 44 8 3 As [1161] for Saul [4569], he made havock [3075] of the church [1577], entering into [1531] every [2596] house [3624], and haling [4951] [5037] men [435] and [2532] women [1135] committed [3860] them to [1519] prison [5438]. 44 8 4 Therefore [3767] [3303] they that were scattered abroad [1289] went every where [1330] preaching [2097] the word [3056]. 44 8 5 Then [1161] Philip [5376] went down [2718] to [1519] the city [4172] of Samaria [4540], and preached [2784] Christ [5547] unto them [846]. 44 8 6 And [5037] the people [3793] with one accord [3661] gave heed [4337] unto those things which Philip [5376] spake [3004] [5259], hearing [1722] [191] [846] and [2532] seeing [991] the miracles [4592] which [3739] he did [4160]. 44 8 7 For [1063] unclean [169] spirits [4151], crying [994] with loud [3173] voice [5456], came out [1831] of many [4183] that were possessed [2192] with them: and [1161] many [4183] taken with palsies [3886], and [2532] that were lame [5560], were healed [2323]. 44 8 8 And [2532] there was [1096] great [3173] joy [5479] in [1722] that [1565] city [4172]. 44 8 9 But [1161] there was a certain [5100] man [435], called [3686] Simon [4613], which beforetime [4391] in [1722] the same city [4172] used sorcery [3096], and [2532] bewitched [1839] the people [1484] of Samaria [4540], giving out [3004] that himself [1438] was [1511] some [5100] great one [3173]: 44 8 10 To whom [3739] they all [3956] gave heed [4337], from [575] the least [3398] to [2193] the greatest [3173], saying [3004], This man [3778] is [2076] the great [3173] power [1411] of God [2316]. 44 8 11 And [1161] to him [846] they had regard [4337], because [1223] that of long [2425] time [5550] he had bewitched [1839] them [846] with sorceries [3095]. 44 8 12 But [1161] when [3753] they believed [4100] Philip [5376] preaching [2097] the things concerning [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], they were baptized [907], both [5037] men [435] and [2532] women [1135]. 44 8 13 Then [1161] Simon [4613] himself [846] believed [4100] also [2532]: and [2532] when he was baptized [907], he continued [2258] [4342] with Philip [5376], and [5037] wondered [1839], beholding [2334] the miracles [1411] and [2532] signs [4592] [3173] which were done [1096] [1096]. 44 8 14 Now [1161] when the apostles [652] which [3588] were at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] heard [191] that [3754] Samaria [4540] had received [1209] the word [3056] of God [2316], they sent [649] unto [4314] them [846] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491]: 44 8 15 Who [3748], when they were come down [2597], prayed [4336] for [4012] them [846], that [3704] they might receive [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: 44 8 16 (For [1063] as yet [3768] he was [2258] fallen [1968] upon [1909] none [3762] of them [846]: only [3440] [1161] they were [5225] baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].) 44 8 17 Then [5119] laid they [2007] their hands [5495] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] they received [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 8 18 And [1161] when Simon [4613] saw [2300] that [3754] through [1223] laying on [1936] of the apostles [652]' hands [5495] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] was given [1325], he offered [4374] them [846] money [5536], 44 8 19 Saying [3004], Give [1325] me also [2504] this [5026] power [1849], that [2443] on [2007] whomsoever [3739] [1437] I lay [2007] hands [5495], he may receive [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 8 20 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Thy [4675] money [694] perish [1498] [1519] [684] with [4862] thee [4671], because [3754] thou hast thought [3543] that the gift [1431] of God [2316] may be purchased [2932] with [1223] money [5536]. 44 8 21 Thou [4671] hast [2076] neither [3756] part [3310] nor [3761] lot [2819] in [1722] this [5129] matter [3056]: for [1063] thy [4675] heart [2588] is [2076] not [3756] right [2117] in the sight [1799] of God [2316]. 44 8 22 Repent [3340] therefore [3767] of [575] this [5026] thy [4675] wickedness [2549], and [2532] pray [1189] God [2316], if [1487] perhaps [686] the thought [1963] of thine [4675] heart [2588] may be forgiven [863] thee [4671]. 44 8 23 For [1063] I perceive [3708] that thou [4571] art [5607] in [1519] the gall [5521] of bitterness [4088], and [2532] in the bond [4886] of iniquity [93]. 44 8 24 Then [1161] answered [611] Simon [4613], and said [2036], Pray [1189] ye [5210] to [4314] the Lord [2962] for [5228] me [1700], that [3704] none of these things [3367] which [3739] ye have spoken [2046] come [1904] upon [1909] me [1691]. 44 8 25 And they, when [3303] [3767] they had testified [1263] and [2532] preached [2980] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], returned [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], and [5037] preached the gospel [2097] in many [4183] villages [2968] of the Samaritans [4541]. 44 8 26 And [1161] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] spake [2980] unto [4314] Philip [5376], saying [3004], Arise [450], and [2532] go [4198] toward [2596] the south [3314] unto [1909] the way [3598] that goeth down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2419] unto [1519] Gaza [1048], which [3778] is [2076] desert [2048]. 44 8 27 And [2532] he arose [450] and went [4198]: and [2532], behold [2400], a man [435] of Ethiopia [128], an eunuch [2135] of great authority [1413] under Candace [2582] queen [938] of the Ethiopians [128], who [3739] had [2258] the charge of [1909] all [3956] her [846] treasure [1047], and [3739] had come [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419] for to worship [4352], 44 8 28 [5037] Was [2258] returning [5290], and [2532] sitting [2521] in [1909] his [846] chariot [716] [2532] read [314] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396]. 44 8 29 Then [1161] the Spirit [4151] said [2036] unto Philip [5376], Go near [4334], and [2532] join thyself to [2853] this [5129] chariot [716]. 44 8 30 And [1161] Philip [5376] ran [4370] thither to him, and heard [191] him [846] read [314] the prophet [4396] Esaias [2268], and [2532] said [2036], Understandest thou [687] [1065] [1097] what [3739] thou readest [314]? 44 8 31 And [1161] he said [2036], How [1063] [4459] can I [302] [1410], except [3362] some man [5100] should guide [3594] me [3165]? And [5037] he desired [3870] Philip [5376] that he would come up [305] and sit [2523] with [4862] him [846]. 44 8 32 [1161] The place [4042] of the scripture [1124] which [3739] he read [314] was [2258] this [3778], He was led [71] as [5613] a sheep [4263] to [1909] the slaughter [4967]; and [2532] like [5613] a lamb [286] dumb [880] before [1726] his [846] shearer [2751], so [3779] opened he [455] not [3756] his [846] mouth [4750]: 44 8 33 In [1722] his [846] humiliation [5014] his [846] judgment [2920] was taken away [142]: and [1161] who [5101] shall declare [1334] his [846] generation [1074]? for [3754] his [846] life [2222] is taken [142] from [575] the earth [1093]. 44 8 34 And [1161] the eunuch [2135] answered [611] Philip [5376], and said [2036], I pray [1189] thee [4675], of [4012] whom [5101] speaketh [3004] the prophet [4396] this [5124]? of [4012] himself [1438], or [2228] of [4012] some [5100] other man [2087]? 44 8 35 Then [1161] Philip [5376] opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] began [756] at [575] the same [5026] scripture [1124], and preached [2097] unto him [846] Jesus [2424]. 44 8 36 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] on [2596] their way [3598], they came [2064] unto [1909] a certain [5100] water [5204]: and [2532] the eunuch [2135] said [5346], See [2400], here is water [5204]; what [5101] doth hinder [2967] me [3165] to be baptized [907]? 44 8 37 And [1161] Philip [5376] said [2036], If [1487] thou believest [4100] with [1537] all thine [3650] heart [2588], thou mayest [1832]. And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I believe [4100] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is [1511] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 44 8 38 And [2532] he commanded [2753] the chariot [716] to stand still [2476]: and [2532] they went down [2597] both [297] into [1519] the water [5204], both [5037] Philip [5376] and [2532] the eunuch [2135]; and [2532] he baptized [907] him [846]. 44 8 39 And [1161] when [3753] they were come up [305] out of [1537] the water [5204], the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] caught away [726] Philip [5376], [2532] that the eunuch [2135] saw [1492] [3756] him [846] no more [3765]: and [1063] he went [4198] on his [846] way [3598] rejoicing [5463]. 44 8 40 But [1161] Philip [5376] was found [2147] at [1519] Azotus [108]: and [2532] passing [1330] through he preached [2097] in all [3956] the cities [4172], till [2193] he [846] came [2064] to [1519] Caesarea [2542]. 44 9 1 And [1161] Saul [4569], yet [2089] breathing out [1709] threatenings [547] and [2532] slaughter [5408] against [1519] the disciples [3101] of the Lord [2962], went [4334] unto the high priest [749], 44 9 2 And desired [154] of [3844] him [846] letters [1992] to [1519] Damascus [1154] to [4314] the synagogues [4864], that [3704] if [1437] he found [2147] any [5100] of this way [3598], whether [5037] they were [5607] men [435] or [2532] women [1135], he might bring them [71] bound [1210] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 9 3 And [1161] as he [846] journeyed [4198] [1722], he came [1096] near [1448] Damascus [1154]: and [2532] suddenly [1810] there shined round about [4015] him [846] a light [5457] from [575] heaven [3772]: 44 9 4 And [2532] he fell [4098] to [1909] the earth [1093], and heard [191] a voice [5456] saying [3004] unto him [846], Saul [4549], Saul [4549], why [5101] persecutest thou [1377] me [3165]? 44 9 5 And [1161] he said [2036], Who [5101] art thou [1488], Lord [2962]? And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] Jesus [2424] whom [3739] thou [4771] persecutest [1377]: it is hard [4642] for thee [4671] to kick [2979] against [4314] the pricks [2759]. 44 9 6 And [5037] he trembling [5141] and [2532] astonished [2284] said [2036], Lord [2962], what [5101] wilt thou have [2309] me [3165] to do [4160]? And [2532] the Lord [2962] said unto [4314] him [846], Arise [450], and [2532] go [1525] into [1519] the city [4172], and [2532] it shall be told [2980] thee [4671] what [5101] thou [4571] must [1163] do [4160]. 44 9 7 And [1161] the men [435] which [3588] journeyed [4922] with him [846] stood [2476] speechless [1769], hearing [191] [3303] a voice [5456], but [1161] seeing [2334] no man [3367]. 44 9 8 And [1161] Saul [4569] arose [1453] from [575] the earth [1093]; and [1161] when his [846] eyes [3788] were opened [455], he saw [991] no man [3762]: but [1161] they led [5496] him [846] by the hand [5496], and brought [1521] him into [1519] Damascus [1154]. 44 9 9 And [2532] he was [2258] three [5140] days [2250] without [3361] sight [991], and [2532] neither [3756] did eat [5315] nor [3761] drink [4095]. 44 9 10 And [1161] there was [2258] a certain [5100] disciple [3101] at [1722] Damascus [1154], named [3686] Ananias [367]; and [2532] to [4314] him [846] said [2036] the Lord [2962] in [1722] a vision [3705], Ananias [367]. And [1161] he said [2036], Behold [2400], I [1473] am here, Lord [2962]. 44 9 11 And [1161] the Lord [2962] said unto [4314] him [846], Arise [450], and go [4198] into [1909] the street [4505] which [3588] is called [2564] Straight [2117], and [2532] enquire [2212] in [1722] the house [3614] of Judas [2455] for one called [3686] Saul [4569], of Tarsus [5018]: for [1063], behold [2400], he prayeth [4336], 44 9 12 And [2532] hath seen [1492] in [1722] a vision [3705] a man [435] named [3686] Ananias [367] coming in [1525], and [2532] putting [2007] his hand [5495] on [2007] him [846], that [3704] he might receive his sight [308]. 44 9 13 Then [1161] Ananias [367] answered [611], Lord [2962], I have heard [191] by [575] many [4183] of [4012] this [5127] man [435], how much [3745] evil [2556] he hath done [4160] to thy [4675] saints [40] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419]: 44 9 14 And [2532] here [5602] he hath [2192] authority [1849] from [3844] the chief priests [749] to bind [1210] all [3956] that call [1941] on thy [4675] name [3686]. 44 9 15 But [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Go thy way [4198]: for [3754] he [3778] is [2076] a chosen [1589] vessel [4632] unto me [3427], to bear [941] my [3450] name [3686] before [1799] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] kings [935], and [5037] the children [5207] of Israel [2474]: 44 9 16 For [1063] I [1473] will shew [5263] him [846] how great things [3745] he [846] must [1163] suffer [3958] for [5228] my [3450] name's sake [3686] [5228]. 44 9 17 And [1161] Ananias [367] went his way [565], and [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] the house [3614]; and [2532] putting [2007] his hands [5495] on [1909] him [846] said [2036], Brother [80] Saul [4549], the Lord [2962], even Jesus [2424], that appeared [3700] unto thee [4671] in [1722] the way [3598] as [3739] thou camest [2064], hath sent [649] me [3165], that [3704] thou mightest receive thy sight [308], and [2532] be filled with [4130] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 9 18 And [2532] immediately [2112] there fell [634] from [575] his [846] eyes [3788] as [5616] it had been scales [3013]: and he received sight [308] forthwith [3916], and [5037] arose [450], and [2532] was baptized [907]. 44 9 19 And [2532] when he had received [2983] meat [5160], he was strengthened [1765]. Then [1161] was [1096] Saul [4569] certain [5100] days [2250] with [3326] the disciples [3101] which were at [1722] Damascus [1154]. 44 9 20 And [2532] straightway [2112] he preached [2784] Christ [5547] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], that [3754] he [3778] is [2076] the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 44 9 21 But [1161] all [3956] that heard [191] him were amazed [1839], and [2532] said [3004]; Is [2076] not [3756] this [3778] he that destroyed [4199] them which [3588] called on [1941] this [5124] name [3686] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] came [2064] hither [5602] for [1519] that [5124] intent [1519], that [2443] he might bring [71] them [846] bound [1210] unto [1909] the chief priests [749]? 44 9 22 But [1161] Saul [4569] increased [1743] the more [3123] in strength [1743], and [2532] confounded [4797] the Jews [2453] which [3588] dwelt [2730] at [1722] Damascus [1154], proving [4822] that [3754] this [3778] is [2076] very Christ [5547]. 44 9 23 And [1161] after [5613] that many [2425] days [2250] were fulfilled [4137], the Jews [2453] took counsel [4823] to kill [337] him [846]: 44 9 24 But [1161] their [846] laying await [1917] was known [1097] of Saul [4569]. And [5037] they watched [3906] the gates [4439] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] to [3704] kill [337] him [846]. 44 9 25 Then [1161] the disciples [3101] took [2983] him [846] by night [3571], and let him down [2524] [5465] by [1223] the wall [5038] in [1722] a basket [4711]. 44 9 26 And [1161] when Saul [4569] was come [3854] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], he assayed [3987] to join himself [2853] to the disciples [3101]: but [2532] they were [5399] all [3956] afraid [5399] of him [846], and believed [4100] not [3361] that [3754] he was [2076] a disciple [3101]. 44 9 27 But [1161] Barnabas [921] took [1949] him [846], and brought [71] him to [4314] the apostles [652], and [2532] declared [1334] unto them [846] how [4459] he had seen [1492] the Lord [2962] in [1722] the way [3598], and [2532] that [3754] he had spoken [2980] to him [846], and [2532] how [4459] he had preached boldly [3955] at [1722] Damascus [1154] in [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424]. 44 9 28 And [2532] he was [2258] with [3326] them [846] coming in [1531] and [2532] going out [1607] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 9 29 And [2532] he spake [2980] boldly [3955] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [5037] [2532] disputed [4802] against [4314] the Grecians [1675]: but [1161] they went about [2021] to slay [337] him [846]. 44 9 30 Which when [1161] the brethren [80] knew [1921], they brought [2609] him [846] down [2609] to [1519] Caesarea [2542], and [2532] sent [1821] him [846] forth [1821] to [1519] Tarsus [5019]. 44 9 31 Then [3303] [3767] had [2192] the churches [1577] rest [1515] throughout [2596] all [3650] Judaea [2449] and [2532] Galilee [1056] and [2532] Samaria [4540], and were edified [3618]; and [2532] walking in [4198] the fear [5401] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] in the comfort [3874] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], were multiplied [4129]. 44 9 32 And [1161] it came [1096] to pass, as [1330] Peter [4074] passed throughout [1330] [1223] all [3956] quarters, he came down [2718] also [2532] to [4314] the saints [40] which [3588] dwelt [2730] at Lydda [3069]. 44 9 33 And [1161] there [1563] he found [2147] a certain [5100] man [444] named [3686] Aeneas [132], which had kept [2621] [1909] his bed [2895] [1537] eight [3638] years [2094], and [3739] was [2258] sick of the palsy [3886]. 44 9 34 And [2532] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto him [846], Aeneas [132], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] maketh [2390] thee [4571] whole [2390]: arise [450], and [2532] make [4766] thy [4572] bed [4766]. And [2532] he arose [450] immediately [2112]. 44 9 35 And [2532] all [3956] that dwelt [2730] at Lydda [3069] and [2532] Saron [4565] saw [1492] him [846], and [3748] turned [1994] to [1909] the Lord [2962]. 44 9 36 Now [1161] there was [2258] at [1722] Joppa [2445] a certain [5100] disciple [3102] named [3686] Tabitha [5000], which [3739] by interpretation [1329] is called [3004] Dorcas [1393]: this woman [3778] [846] was [2258] full [4134] of good [18] works [2041] and [2532] almsdeeds [1654] which [3739] she did [4160]. 44 9 37 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that she was sick [770], and died [599]: whom when [1161] they [846] had washed [3068] [846], they laid [5087] her in [1722] an upper chamber [5253]. 44 9 38 And [1161] forasmuch as [5607] Lydda [3069] was nigh [1451] to Joppa [2445], and the disciples [3101] had heard [191] that [3754] Peter [4074] was [2076] there [1722] [846], they sent [649] unto [4314] him [846] two [1417] men [435], desiring [3870] him that he would [3635] not [3361] delay [3635] to come [1330] to [2193] them [846]. 44 9 39 Then [1161] Peter [4074] arose [450] and went with [4905] them [846]. When he [3739] was come [3854], they brought him [321] into [1519] the upper chamber [5253]: and [2532] all [3956] the widows [5503] stood by [3936] him [846] weeping [2799], and [2532] shewing [1925] the coats [5509] and [2532] garments [2440] which [3745] Dorcas [1393] made [4160], while she was [5607] with [3326] them [846]. 44 9 40 But [1161] Peter [4074] put [1544] them all [3956] forth [1854], and kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336]; and [2532] turning [1994] him to [4314] the body [4983] said [2036], Tabitha [5000], arise [450]. And [1161] she opened [455] her [846] eyes [3788]: and [2532] when she saw [1492] Peter [4074], she sat up [339]. 44 9 41 And [1161] he gave [1325] her [846] his hand [5495], and lifted [450] her [846] up [450], and [1161] when he had called [5455] the saints [40] and [2532] widows [5503], presented [3936] her [846] alive [2198]. 44 9 42 And [1161] it was [1096] known [1110] throughout [2596] all [3650] Joppa [2445]; and [2532] many [4183] believed [4100] in [1909] the Lord [2962]. 44 9 43 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that he [846] tarried [3306] many [2425] days [2250] in [1722] Joppa [2445] with [3844] one [5100] Simon [4613] a tanner [1038]. 44 10 1 [1161] There was [2258] a certain [5100] man [435] in [1722] Caesarea [2542] called [3686] Cornelius [2883], a centurion [1543] of [1537] the band [4686] called [2564] the Italian [2483] band, 44 10 2 A devout [2152] man, and [2532] one that feared [5399] God [2316] with [4862] all [3956] his [846] house [3624], which [5037] gave [4160] much [4183] alms [1654] to the people [2992], and [2532] prayed [1189] to God [2316] alway [1275]. 44 10 3 He saw [1492] in [1722] a vision [3705] evidently [5320] about [5616] the ninth [1766] hour [5610] of the day [2250] an angel [32] of God [2316] coming in [1525] to [4314] him [846], and [2532] saying [2036] unto him [846], Cornelius [2883]. 44 10 4 And [1161] when he looked [816] on him [846], he was [1096] afraid [1719], and [2532] said [2036], What [5101] is it [2076], Lord [2962]? And [1161] he said [2036] unto him [846], Thy [4675] prayers [4335] and [2532] thine [4675] alms [1654] are come up [305] for [1519] a memorial [3422] before [1799] God [2316]. 44 10 5 And [2532] now [3568] send [3992] men [435] to [1519] Joppa [2445], and [2532] call for [3343] one Simon [4613], whose [3739] surname is [1941] Peter [4074]: 44 10 6 He [3778] lodgeth [3579] with [3844] one [5100] Simon [4613] a tanner [1038], whose [3739] house [3614] is [2076] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: he [3778] shall tell [2980] thee [4671] what [5101] thou [4571] oughtest [1163] to do [4160]. 44 10 7 And [1161] when [5613] the angel [32] which [3588] spake [2980] unto Cornelius [2883] was departed [565], he called [5455] two [1417] of his [846] household servants [3610], and [2532] a devout [2152] soldier [4757] of them that waited on [4342] him [846] continually [4342]; 44 10 8 And [2532] when he had declared [1834] all these things [537] unto them [846], he sent [649] them [846] to [1519] Joppa [2445]. 44 10 9 [1161] On the morrow [1887], as they [1565] went on their journey [3596], and [2532] drew nigh [1448] unto the city [4172], Peter [4074] went up [305] upon [1909] the housetop [1430] to pray [4336] about [4012] the sixth [1623] hour [5610]: 44 10 10 And [1161] he became [1096] very hungry [4361], and [2532] would [2309] have eaten [1089]: but [1161] while they [1565] made ready [3903], he [846] fell [1968] into [1909] a trance [1611], 44 10 11 And [2532] saw [2334] heaven [3772] opened [455], and [2532] a certain [5100] vessel [4632] descending [2597] unto [1909] him [846], as [5613] it had been a great [3173] sheet [3607] knit [1210] at the four [5064] corners [746], and [2532] let down [2524] to [1909] the earth [1093]: 44 10 12 Wherein [1722] [3739] were [5225] all manner [3956] of fourfooted beasts [5074] of the earth [1093], and [2532] wild beasts [2342], and [2532] creeping things [2062], and [2532] fowls [4071] of the air [3772]. 44 10 13 And [2532] there came [1096] a voice [5456] to [4314] him [846], Rise [450], Peter [4074]; kill [2380], and [2532] eat [5315]. 44 10 14 But [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Not so [3365], Lord [2962]; for [3754] I have [5315] never [3763] eaten [5315] any thing [3956] that is common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169]. 44 10 15 And [2532] the voice [5456] spake unto [4314] him [846] again [3825] [1537] the second time [1208], What [3739] God [2316] hath cleansed [2511], that call [2840] not [3361] thou [4771] common [2840]. 44 10 16 [1161] This [5124] was done [1096] thrice [1909] [5151]: and [2532] the vessel [4632] was received up [353] again [3825] into [1519] heaven [3772]. 44 10 17 Now [1161] while [5613] Peter [4074] doubted [1280] in [1722] himself [1438] what [5101] this vision [3705] which [3739] he had seen [1492] should mean [302] [1498], behold [2400] [2532], the men [435] which [3588] were sent [649] from [575] Cornelius [2883] had made enquiry [1331] for Simon's [4613] house [3614], and stood [2186] before [1909] the gate [4440], 44 10 18 And [2532] called [5455], and asked [4441] whether [1487] Simon [4613], which [3588] was surnamed [1941] Peter [4074], were lodged [3579] there [1759]. 44 10 19 While [1161] Peter [4074] thought [1760] on [4012] the vision [3705], the Spirit [4151] said [2036] unto him [846], Behold [2400], three [5140] men [435] seek [2212] thee [4571]. 44 10 20 Arise [450] therefore [235], and get thee down [2597], and [2532] go [4198] with [4862] them [846], doubting [1252] nothing [3367]: for [1360] I [1473] have sent [649] them [846]. 44 10 21 Then [1161] Peter [4074] went down [2597] to [4314] the men [435] which [3588] were sent [649] unto [4314] him [846] from [575] Cornelius [2883]; and said [2036], Behold [2400], I [1473] am [1510] he whom [3739] ye seek [2212]: what [5101] is the cause [156] wherefore [1223] [3739] ye are come [3918]? 44 10 22 And [1161] they said [2036], Cornelius [2883] the centurion [1543], a just [1342] man [435], and [2532] one that feareth [5399] God [2316], and [5037] of good report [3140] among [5259] all [3650] the nation [1484] of the Jews [2453], was warned from God [5537] by [5259] an holy [40] angel [32] to send [3343] for thee [4571] into [1519] his [846] house [3624], and [2532] to hear [191] words [4487] of [3844] thee [4675]. 44 10 23 Then [3767] called he [1528] them [846] in [1528], and lodged [3579] them. And [1161] on the morrow [1887] Peter [4074] went away [1831] with [4862] them [846], and [2532] certain [5100] brethren [80] from [575] Joppa [2445] accompanied [4905] him [846]. 44 10 24 And [2532] the morrow [1887] after they entered [1525] into [1519] Caesarea [2542]. And [1161] Cornelius [2883] waited for [4328] them [846] [2258], and had called together [4779] his [846] kinsmen [4773] and [2532] near [316] friends [5384]. 44 10 25 And [1161] as [5613] Peter [4074] was [1096] coming in [1525], Cornelius [2883] met [4876] him [846], and fell down [4098] at [1909] his feet [4228], and worshipped [4352] him. 44 10 26 But [1161] Peter [4074] took [1453] him [846] up [1453], saying [3004], Stand up [450]; I [2504] myself [846] also [2504] am [1510] a man [444]. 44 10 27 And [2532] as he talked [4926] with him [846], he went in [1525], and [2532] found [2147] many [4183] that were come together [4905]. 44 10 28 And [5037] he said [5346] unto [4314] them [846], Ye [5210] know [1987] how [5613] that it is [2076] an unlawful thing [111] for a man [435] that is a Jew [2453] to keep company [2853], or [2228] come unto [4334] one of another nation [246]; but [2532] God [2316] hath shewed [1166] me [1698] that I should not [3367] call [3004] any [3367] man [444] common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169]. 44 10 29 Therefore [1352] [2532] came I [2064] unto you without gainsaying [369], as soon as I was sent for [3343]: I ask [4441] therefore [3767] for what [5101] intent [3056] ye have sent for [3343] me [3165]? 44 10 30 And [2532] Cornelius [2883] said [5346], Four [5067] days [2250] ago [575] I was [2252] fasting [3522] until [3360] this [5026] hour [5610]; and [2532] at the ninth [1766] hour [5610] I prayed [4336] in [1722] my [3450] house [3624], and [2532], behold [2400], a man [435] stood [2476] before [1799] me [3450] in [1722] bright [2986] clothing [2066], 44 10 31 And [2532] said [5346], Cornelius [2883], thy [4675] prayer [4335] is heard [1522], and [2532] thine [4675] alms [1654] are had in remembrance [3415] in the sight [1799] of God [2316]. 44 10 32 Send [3992] therefore [3767] to [1519] Joppa [2445], and [2532] call hither [3333] Simon [4613], whose [3739] surname is [1941] Peter [4074]; he [3778] is lodged [3579] in [1722] the house [3614] of one Simon [4613] a tanner [1038] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: who [3739], when he cometh [3854], shall speak [2980] unto thee [4671]. 44 10 33 Immediately [1824] therefore [3767] I sent [3992] to [4314] thee [4571]; and [5037] thou [4771] hast well [2573] done [4160] that thou art come [3854]. Now [3568] therefore [3767] are [3918] we [2249] all [3956] here present [3918] before [1799] God [2316], to hear [191] all things [3956] that are commanded [4367] thee [4671] of [5259] God [2316]. 44 10 34 Then [1161] Peter [4074] opened [455] his mouth [4750], and said [2036], Of [1909] a truth [225] I perceive [2638] that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] no [3756] respecter of persons [4381]: 44 10 35 But [235] in [1722] every [3956] nation [1484] he that feareth [5399] him [846], and [2532] worketh [2038] righteousness [1343], is [2076] accepted [1184] with him [846]. 44 10 36 The word [3056] which [3739] God sent [649] unto the children [5207] of Israel [2474], preaching [2097] peace [1515] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: (he [3778] is [2076] Lord [2962] of all [3956]:) 44 10 37 That word [4487], I say, ye [5210] know [1492], which was published [1096] throughout [2596] all [3650] Judaea [2449], and began [756] from [575] Galilee [1056], after [3326] the baptism [908] which [3739] John [2491] preached [2784]; 44 10 38 How [5613] God [2316] anointed [5548] Jesus [2424] of [575] Nazareth [3478] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] and [2532] with power [1411]: who [846] [3739] went about [1330] doing good [2109], and [2532] healing [2390] all [3956] that were oppressed [2616] of [5259] the devil [1228]; for [3754] God [2316] was [2258] with [3326] him [846]. 44 10 39 And [2532] we [2249] are [2070] witnesses [3144] of all things [3956] which [3739] he did [4160] both [5037] in [1722] the land [5561] of the Jews [2453], and [2532] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419]; whom [3739] they slew [337] and hanged [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]: 44 10 40 Him [5126] God [2316] raised up [1453] the third [5154] day [2250], and [2532] shewed [1096] him [846] openly [1717] [1325]; 44 10 41 Not [3756] to all [3956] the people [2992], but [235] unto witnesses [3144] chosen before [4401] of [5259] God [2316], even to us [2254], who [3748] did eat [4906] and [2532] drink with [4844] him [846] after [3326] he [846] rose [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 44 10 42 And [2532] he commanded [3853] us [2254] to preach [2784] unto the people [2992], and [2532] to testify [1263] that [3754] it is [2076] he [846] which [3588] was ordained [3724] of [5259] God [2316] to be the Judge [2923] of quick [2198] and [2532] dead [3498]. 44 10 43 To him [5129] give [3140] all [3956] the prophets [4396] witness [3140], that through [1223] his [846] name [3686] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] shall receive [2983] remission [859] of sins [266]. 44 10 44 While Peter [4074] yet [2089] spake [2980] these [5023] words [4487], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] fell [1968] on [1909] all [3956] them which heard [191] the word [3056]. 44 10 45 And [2532] they of [1537] the circumcision [4061] which believed [4103] were astonished [1839], as many as [3745] came with [4905] Peter [4074], because [3754] that on [1909] the Gentiles [1484] also [2532] was poured out [1632] the gift [1431] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 10 46 For [1063] they heard [191] them [846] speak with [2980] tongues [1100], and [2532] magnify [3170] God [2316]. Then [5119] answered [611] Peter [4074], 44 10 47 Can [3385] [1410] any man [5100] forbid [2967] water [5204], that these [5128] should [907] not [3361] be baptized [907], which [3748] have received [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] as [2532] well as [2531] we [2249]? 44 10 48 And [5037] he commanded [4367] them [846] to be baptized [907] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. Then [5119] prayed they [2065] him [846] to tarry [1961] certain [5100] days [2250]. 44 11 1 And [1161] the apostles [652] and [2532] brethren [80] that were [5607] in [2596] Judaea [2449] heard [191] that [3754] the Gentiles [1484] had [1209] also [2532] received [1209] the word [3056] of God [2316]. 44 11 2 And [2532] when [3753] Peter [4074] was come up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], they that were of [1537] the circumcision [4061] contended [1252] with [4314] him [846], 44 11 3 Saying [3004], [3754] Thou wentest in [1525] to [4314] men [435] uncircumcised [203] [2192], and [2532] didst eat [4906] with them [846]. 44 11 4 But [1161] Peter [4074] rehearsed the matter from the beginning [756], and expounded [1620] it by order [2517] unto them [846], saying [3004], 44 11 5 I [1473] was [2252] in [1722] the city [4172] of Joppa [2445] praying [4336]: and [2532] in [1722] a trance [1611] I saw [1492] a vision [3705], A certain [5100] vessel [4632] descend [2597], as it had been [5613] a great [3173] sheet [3607], let down [2524] from [1537] heaven [3772] by four [5064] corners [746]; and [2532] it came [2064] even [891] to me [1700]: 44 11 6 Upon [1519] the which [3739] when I had fastened mine eyes [816], I considered [2657], and [2532] saw [1492] fourfooted beasts [5074] of the earth [1093], and [2532] wild beasts [2342], and [2532] creeping things [2062], and [2532] fowls [4071] of the air [3772]. 44 11 7 And [1161] I heard [191] a voice [5456] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Arise [450], Peter [4074]; slay [2380] and [2532] eat [5315]. 44 11 8 But [1161] I said [2036], Not so [3365], Lord [2962]: for [3754] nothing [3956] common [2839] or [2228] unclean [169] hath [1525] at any time [3763] entered [1525] into [1519] my [3450] mouth [4750]. 44 11 9 But [1161] the voice [5456] answered [611] me [3427] again [1537] [1208] from [1537] heaven [3772], What [3739] God [2316] hath cleansed [2511], that call [2840] not [3361] thou [4771] common [2840]. 44 11 10 And [1161] this [5124] was done [1096] [1909] three times [5151]: and [2532] all [537] were drawn up [385] again [3825] into [1519] heaven [3772]. 44 11 11 And [2532], behold [2400], immediately [1824] there were [2186] three [5140] men [435] already [1824] come [2186] unto [1909] the house [3614] where [1722] [3739] [3739] I was [2252], sent [649] from [575] Caesarea [2542] unto [4314] me [3165]. 44 11 12 And [1161] the Spirit [4151] bade [2036] me [3427] go with [4905] them [846], nothing [3367] doubting [1252]. Moreover [1161] [2532] these [3778] six [1803] brethren [80] accompanied [4862] [2064] me [1698], and [2532] we entered [1525] into [1519] the man's [435] house [3624]: 44 11 13 And [5037] he shewed [518] us [2254] how [4459] he had seen [1492] an angel [32] in [1722] his [846] house [3624], which stood [2476] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Send [649] men [435] to [1519] Joppa [2445], and [2532] call for [3343] Simon [4613], whose surname is [1941] Peter [4074]; 44 11 14 Who [3739] shall tell [2980] thee [4314] [4571] words [4487], whereby [1722] [3739] thou [4771] and [2532] all [3956] thy [4675] house [3624] shall be saved [4982]. 44 11 15 And [1161] as [1722] I [3165] began [756] to speak [2980], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] fell [1968] on [1909] them [846], as [5618] [2532] on [1909] us [2248] at [1722] the beginning [746]. 44 11 16 Then [1161] remembered I [3415] the word [4487] of the Lord [2962], how [5613] that he said [3004], John [2491] indeed [3303] baptized [907] with water [5204]; but [1161] ye [5210] shall be baptized [907] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 11 17 Forasmuch [1487] then [3767] as [5613] God [2316] gave [1325] them [846] the like [2470] gift [1431] as [2532] he did unto us [2254], who believed [4100] on [1909] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; [1161] what [5101] was [2252] I [1473], that I could [1415] withstand [2967] God [2316]? 44 11 18 When [1161] they heard [191] these things [5023], they held their peace [2270], and [2532] glorified [1392] God [2316], saying [3004], Then [686] hath [1325] God [2316] also [2534] to the Gentiles [1484] granted [1325] repentance [3341] unto [1519] life [2222]. 44 11 19 Now [3767] [3303] they which were scattered abroad [1289] upon [575] the persecution [2347] that arose [1096] about [1909] Stephen [4736] travelled [1330] as far as [2193] Phenice [5403], and [2532] Cyprus [2954], and [2532] Antioch [490], preaching [2980] the word [3056] to none [3367] but [1508] unto the Jews [2453] only [3440]. 44 11 20 And [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] were [2258] men [435] of Cyprus [2953] and [2532] Cyrene [2956], which [3748], when they were come [1525] to [1519] Antioch [490], spake [2980] unto [4314] the Grecians [1675], preaching [2097] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 44 11 21 And [2532] the hand [5495] of the Lord [2962] was [2258] with [3326] them [846]: and [5037] a great [4183] number [706] believed [4100], and turned [1994] unto [1909] the Lord [2962]. 44 11 22 Then [1161] tidings [3056] of [4012] these things [846] came [191] unto [1519] the ears [3775] of the church [1577] which [3588] was in [1722] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] they sent forth [1821] Barnabas [921], that he should go [1330] as far as [2193] Antioch [490]. 44 11 23 Who [3739], when he came [3854], and [2532] had seen [1492] the grace [5485] of God [2316], was glad [5463], and [2532] exhorted [3870] them all [3956], that with purpose [4286] of heart [2588] they would cleave unto [4357] the Lord [2962]. 44 11 24 For [3754] he was [2258] a good [18] man [435], and [2532] full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] and [2532] of faith [4102]: and [2532] much [2425] people [3793] was added [4369] unto the Lord [2962]. 44 11 25 Then [1161] departed [1831] Barnabas [921] to [1519] Tarsus [5019], for to seek [327] Saul [4569]: 44 11 26 And [2532] when he had found [2147] him [846], he brought [71] him [846] unto [1519] Antioch [490]. And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that a whole [3650] year [1763] they [846] assembled themselves [4863] with [1722] the church [1577], and [2532] taught [1321] much [2425] people [3793]. And [5037] the disciples [3101] were called [5537] Christians [5546] first [4412] in [1722] Antioch [490]. 44 11 27 And [1161] in [1722] these [5025] days [2250] came [2718] prophets [4396] from [575] Jerusalem [2414] unto [1519] Antioch [490]. 44 11 28 And [1161] there stood up [450] one [1520] of [1537] them [846] named [3686] Agabus [13], and signified [4591] by [1223] the Spirit [4151] that there should be [3195] [1510] great [3173] dearth [3042] throughout [1909] all [3650] the world [3625]: which [3748] [2532] came to pass [1096] in the days of [1909] Claudius [2804] Caesar [2541]. 44 11 29 Then [1161] the disciples [3101], every [1538] man [846] according to [2531] his ability [2141] [5100], determined [3724] to send [3992] relief [1248] unto [1519] the brethren [80] which dwelt [2730] in [1722] Judaea [2449]: 44 11 30 Which [3739] also [2532] they did [4160], and sent it [649] to [4314] the elders [4245] by [1223] the hands [5495] of Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569]. 44 12 1 Now [1161] about [2596] that [1565] time [2540] Herod [2264] the king [935] stretched forth [1911] his hands [5495] to vex [2559] certain [5100] of [575] the church [1577]. 44 12 2 And [1161] he killed [337] James [2385] the brother [80] of John [2491] with the sword [3162]. 44 12 3 And [2532] because he saw [1492] it [3754] pleased [2076] [701] the Jews [2453], he proceeded further [4369] to take [4815] Peter [4074] also [2532]. (Then [1161] were [2258] the days [2250] of unleavened bread [106].) 44 12 4 And [3739] [2532] when he had apprehended [4084] him, he put [5087] him in [1519] prison [5438], and delivered [3860] him to four [5064] quaternions [5069] of soldiers [4757] to keep [5442] him [846]; intending [1014] after [3326] Easter [3957] to bring [321] him [846] forth [321] to the people [2992]. 44 12 5 Peter [4074] [3303] therefore [3767] was kept [5083] in [1722] prison [5438]: but [1161] prayer [4335] was [2258] made [1096] without ceasing [1618] of [5259] the church [1577] unto [4314] God [2316] for [5228] him [846]. 44 12 6 And [1161] when [3753] Herod [2264] would [3195] have brought [4254] him [846] forth [4254], the same [1565] night [3571] Peter [4074] was [2258] sleeping [2837] between [3342] two [1417] soldiers [4757], bound [1210] with two [1417] chains [254]: and [5037] the keepers [5441] before [4253] the door [2374] kept [5083] the prison [5438]. 44 12 7 And [2532], behold [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] came upon [2186] him, and [2532] a light [5457] shined [2989] in [1722] the prison [3612]: and [1161] he smote [3960] Peter [4074] on the side [4125], and raised [1453] him [846] up [1453], saying [3004], Arise up [450] quickly [1722] [5034]. And [2532] his [846] chains [254] fell off [1601] from [1537] his hands [5495]. 44 12 8 And [5037] the angel [32] said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], Gird thyself [4024], and [2532] bind on [5265] thy [4675] sandals [4547]. And [1161] so [3779] he did [4160]. And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Cast [4016] thy garment [2440] about [4016] thee [4675], and [2532] follow [190] me [3427]. 44 12 9 And [2532] he went out [1831], and followed [190] him [846]; and [2532] wist [1492] not [3756] that [3754] it was [2076] true [227] which [3588] was done [1096] by [1223] the angel [32]; but [1161] thought [1380] he saw [991] a vision [3705]. 44 12 10 When [1161] they were past [1330] the first [4413] and [2532] the second [1208] ward [5438], they came [2064] unto [1909] the iron [4603] gate [4439] that leadeth [5342] unto [1519] the city [4172]; which [3748] opened [455] to them [846] of his own accord [844]: and [2532] they went out [1831], and passed on through [4281] one [3391] street [4505]; and [2532] forthwith [2112] the angel [32] departed [868] from [575] him [846]. 44 12 11 And [2532] when Peter [4074] was come [1096] to [1722] himself [1438], he said [2036], Now [3568] I know [1492] of a surety [230], that [3754] the Lord [2962] hath sent [1821] his [846] angel [32], and [2532] hath delivered [1807] me [3165] out of [1537] the hand [5495] of Herod [2264], and [2532] from all [3956] the expectation [4329] of the people [2992] of the Jews [2453]. 44 12 12 And [5037] when he had considered [4894] the thing, he came [2064] to [1909] the house [3614] of Mary [3137] the mother [3384] of John [2491], whose surname was [1941] Mark [3138]; where [3757] many [2425] were [2258] gathered together [4867] praying [2532] [4336]. 44 12 13 And [1161] as Peter [4074] knocked at [2925] the door [2374] of the gate [4440], a damsel [3814] came [4334] to hearken [5219], named [3686] Rhoda [4498]. 44 12 14 And [2532] when she knew [1921] Peter's [4074] voice [5456], she opened [455] not [3756] the gate [4440] for [575] gladness [5479], but [1161] ran in [1532], and told how [518] Peter [4074] stood [2476] before [4253] the gate [4440]. 44 12 15 And [1161] they said [2036] unto [4314] her [846], Thou art mad [3105]. But [1161] she constantly affirmed [1340] that it was [2192] even so [3779]. Then [1161] said they [3004], It is [2076] his [846] angel [32]. 44 12 16 But [1161] Peter [4074] continued [1961] knocking [2925]: and [1161] when they had opened [455] the door, and saw [1492] him [846], [2532] they were astonished [1839]. 44 12 17 But [1161] he, beckoning [2678] unto them [846] with the hand [5495] to hold their peace [4601], declared [1334] unto them [846] how [4459] the Lord [2962] had brought [1806] him [846] out of [1537] the prison [5438]. And [1161] he said [2036], Go shew [518] these things [5023] unto James [2385], and [2532] to the brethren [80]. And [2532] he departed [1831], and went [4198] into [1519] another [2087] place [5117]. 44 12 18 Now [1161] as soon as it was [1096] day [2250], there was [2258] no [3756] small [3641] stir [5017] among [1722] the soldiers [4757], what [5101] [686] was become [1096] of Peter [4074]. 44 12 19 And [1161] when [1934] Herod [2264] had sought for [1934] him [846], and [2532] found him [2147] not [3361], he examined [350] the keepers [5441], and commanded [2753] that they should be put to death [520]. And [2532] he went down [2718] from [575] Judaea [2449] to [1519] Caesarea [2542], and there abode [1304]. 44 12 20 And [1161] Herod [2264] was [2258] highly displeased [2371] with them of Tyre [5183] and [2532] Sidon [4606]: but [1161] they came [3918] with one accord [3661] to [4314] him [846], and [2532], having made [3982] Blastus [986] the king's [935] chamberlain [1909] [2846] their friend [3982], desired [154] peace [1515]; because [1223] their [846] country [5561] was nourished [5142] by [575] the king's [937] country. 44 12 21 And [1161] upon a set [5002] day [2250] Herod [2264], arrayed [1746] in royal [937] apparel [2066], sat [2523] upon [1909] his throne [968], and [2532] made an oration [1215] unto [4314] them [846]. 44 12 22 And [1161] the people [1218] gave a shout [2019], saying, It is the voice [5456] of a god [2316], and [2532] not [3756] of a man [444]. 44 12 23 And [1161] immediately [3916] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] smote [3960] him [846], because [473] [3739] he gave [1325] not [3756] God [2316] the glory [1391]: and [2532] he was [1096] eaten of worms [4662], and gave up the ghost [1634]. 44 12 24 But [1161] the word [3056] of God [2316] grew [837] and [2532] multiplied [4129]. 44 12 25 And [1161] Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569] returned [5290] from [1537] Jerusalem [2419], when they had fulfilled [4137] their ministry [1248], and [2532] took with them [4838] John [2491], whose surname was [1941] Mark [3138]. 44 13 1 Now [1161] there were [2258] in [2596] the church [1577] that was [5607] at [1722] Antioch [490] certain [5100] prophets [4396] and [2532] teachers [1320]; as [5037] Barnabas [921], and [2532] Simeon [4826] that was called [2564] Niger [3526], and [2532] Lucius [3066] of Cyrene [2956], and [5037] Manaen [3127], which had been brought up [4939] with Herod [2264] the tetrarch [5076], and [2532] Saul [4569]. 44 13 2 As [1161] they [846] ministered [3008] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] fasted [3522], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] said [2036], [1211] Separate [873] me [3427] [5037] Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569] for [1519] the work [2041] whereunto [3739] I have called [4341] them [846]. 44 13 3 And [5119] when they had fasted [3522] and [2532] prayed [4336], and [2532] laid [2007] their hands [5495] on [2007] them [846], they sent them away [630]. 44 13 4 So [3303] [3767] they [3778], being sent forth [1599] by [5259] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], departed [2718] unto [1519] Seleucia [4581]; and from [1564] thence [5037] they sailed [636] to [1519] Cyprus [2954]. 44 13 5 And [2532] when they were [1096] at [1722] Salamis [4529], they preached [2605] the word [3056] of God [2316] in [1722] the synagogues [4864] of the Jews [2453]: and [1161] they had [2192] also [2532] John [2491] to their minister [5257]. 44 13 6 And [1161] when they had gone through [1330] the isle [3520] unto [891] Paphos [3974], they found [2147] a certain [5100] sorcerer [3097], a false prophet [5578], a Jew [2453], whose [3739] name [3686] was Barjesus [919]: 44 13 7 Which [3739] was [2258] with [4862] the deputy of the country [446], Sergius [4588] Paulus [3972], a prudent [4908] man [435]; who [3778] called [4341] for Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569], and desired [1934] to hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316]. 44 13 8 But [1161] Elymas [1681] the sorcerer [3097] (for [1063] so [3779] is his [846] name [3686] by interpretation [3177] withstood [436] them [846], seeking [2212] to turn away [1294] the deputy [446] from [575] the faith [4102]. 44 13 9 Then [1161] Saul [4569], (who [3588] also [2532] is called Paul [3972],) filled with [4130] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], [2532] set his eyes [816] on [1519] him [846], 44 13 10 And said [2036], O [5599] full [4134] of all [3956] subtilty [1388] and [2532] all [3956] mischief [4468], thou child [5207] of the devil [1228], thou enemy [2190] of all [3956] righteousness [1343], wilt thou [3973] not [3756] cease [3973] to pervert [1294] the right [2117] ways [3598] of the Lord [2962]? 44 13 11 And [2532] now [3568], behold [2400], the hand [5495] of the Lord [2962] is upon [1909] thee [4571], and [2532] thou shalt be [2071] blind [5185], not [3361] seeing [991] the sun [2246] for [891] a season [2540]. And [1161] immediately [3916] there fell [1968] on [1909] him [846] a mist [887] and [2532] a darkness [4655]; and [2532] he went about [4013] seeking [2212] some to lead him by the hand [5497]. 44 13 12 Then [5119] the deputy [446], when he saw [1492] what was done [1096], believed [4100], being astonished [1605] at [1909] the doctrine [1322] of the Lord [2962]. 44 13 13 Now [1161] when Paul [3972] and his company [4012] loosed [321] from [575] Paphos [3974], they came [2064] to [1519] Perga [4011] in Pamphylia [3828]: and [1161] John [2491] departing [672] from [575] them [846] returned [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]. 44 13 14 But [1161] when they [846] departed [1330] from [575] Perga [4011], they came [3854] to [1519] Antioch [490] in Pisidia [4099], and [2532] went [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] on the sabbath [4521] day [2250], and sat down [2523]. 44 13 15 And [1161] after [3326] the reading [320] of the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396] the rulers of the synagogue [752] sent [649] unto [4314] them [846], saying [3004], Ye men [435] and brethren [80], if [1487] ye have [2076] [1722] [5213] any word [3056] of exhortation [3874] for [4314] the people [2992], say on [3004]. 44 13 16 Then [1161] Paul [3972] stood up [450], and [2532] beckoning [2678] with his hand [5495] said [2036], Men [435] of Israel [2475], and [2532] ye that fear [5399] God [2316], give audience [191]. 44 13 17 The God [2316] of this [5127] people [2992] of Israel [2474] chose [1586] our [2257] fathers [3962], and [2532] exalted [5312] the people [2992] when [1722] they dwelt as strangers [3940] in [1722] the land [1093] of Egypt [125], and [2532] with [3326] an high [5308] arm [1023] brought he [1806] them [846] out of [1537] it [846]. 44 13 18 And [2532] about [5613] the time [5550] of forty years [5063] suffered he [5159] their [846] manners [5159] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]. 44 13 19 And [2532] when he had destroyed [2507] seven [2033] nations [1484] in [1722] the land [1093] of Chanaan [5477], he divided [2624] their [846] land [1093] to them [846] by lot [2624]. 44 13 20 And [2532] after [3326] that [5023] he gave [1325] unto them judges [2923] about [5613] the space of four hundred [5071] and [2532] fifty [4004] years [2094], until [2193] Samuel [4545] the prophet [4396]. 44 13 21 And afterward [2547] they desired [154] a king [935]: and [2532] God [2316] gave [1325] unto them [846] Saul [4549] the son [5207] of Cis [2797], a man [435] of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958], by the space of forty [5062] years [2094]. 44 13 22 And [2532] when he had removed [3179] him [846], he raised up [1453] unto them [846] David [1138] to be [1519] their king [935]; to whom [3739] also [2532] he gave testimony [3140], and said [2036], I have found [2147] David [1138] the son of Jesse [2421], a man [435] after [2596] mine own [3450] heart [2588], which [3739] shall fulfil [4160] all [3956] my [3450] will [2307]. 44 13 23 Of [575] this man's [5127] seed [4690] hath [1453] God [2316] according [2596] to his promise [1860] raised [1453] unto Israel [2474] a Saviour [4990], Jesus [2424]: 44 13 24 When John [2491] had first preached [4296] before [4253] his [846] coming [4383] [1529] the baptism [908] of repentance [3341] to all [3956] the people [2992] of Israel [2474]. 44 13 25 And [1161] as [5613] John [2491] fulfilled [4137] his course [1408], he said [3004], Whom [5101] think ye [5282] that I [3165] am [1511]? I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] he. But [235], behold [2400], there cometh one [2064] after [3326] me [1691], whose [3739] shoes [5266] of his feet [4228] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [514] to loose [3089]. 44 13 26 Men [435] and brethren [80], children [5207] of the stock [1085] of Abraham [11], and [2532] whosoever among [1722] you [5213] feareth [5399] God [2316], to you [5213] is [649] the word [3056] of this [5026] salvation [4991] sent [649]. 44 13 27 For [1063] they that dwell [2730] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] their [846] rulers [758], because they knew [50] him [5126] not [50], nor yet [2532] the voices [5456] of the prophets [4396] which [3588] are read [314] [2596] every [3956] sabbath day [4521], they have fulfilled [4137] them in condemning [2919] him. 44 13 28 And [2532] though they found [2147] no [3367] cause [156] of death [2288] in him, yet desired they [154] Pilate [4091] that he [846] should be slain [337]. 44 13 29 And [1161] when [5613] they had fulfilled [5055] all [537] that was written [1125] of [4012] him [846], they took him down [2507] from [575] the tree [3586], and laid [5087] him in [1519] a sepulchre [3419]. 44 13 30 But [1161] God [2316] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498]: 44 13 31 And he [3739] was seen [3700] many [1909] [4119] days [2250] of them which came up with [4872] him [846] from [575] Galilee [1056] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], who [3748] are [1526] his [846] witnesses [3144] unto [4314] the people [2992]. 44 13 32 And [2532] we [2249] declare [2097] unto you [5209] glad tidings [2097], how that [3754] the promise [1860] which was made [1096] unto [4314] the fathers [3962], 44 13 33 God [2316] hath fulfilled [1603] the same [5026] unto us [2254] their [846] children [5043], in that he hath raised up [450] Jesus [2424] again [450]; as [5613] it is [1125] also [2532] written [1125] in [1722] the second [1208] psalm [5568], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] Son [5207], this day [4594] have I [1473] begotten [1080] thee [4571]. 44 13 34 And [1161] as concerning that [3754] he raised [450] him [846] up [450] from [1537] the dead [3498], now no more [3371] to [3195] return [5290] to [1519] corruption [1312], he said [2046] on this wise [3779], [3754] I will give [1325] you [5213] the sure [4103] mercies [3741] of David [1138]. 44 13 35 Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] another [2087] psalm, Thou shalt [1325] not [3756] suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312]. 44 13 36 For [1063] [3303] David [1138], after he had served [5256] his own [2398] generation [1074] by the will [1012] of God [2316], fell on sleep [2837], and [2532] was laid [4369] unto [4314] his [846] fathers [3962], and [2532] saw [1492] corruption [1312]: 44 13 37 But [1161] he, whom [3739] God [2316] raised again [1453], saw [1492] no [3756] corruption [1312]. 44 13 38 Be it [2077] known [1110] unto you [5213] therefore [3767], men [435] and brethren [80], that [3754] through [1223] this man [5127] is preached [2605] unto you [5213] the forgiveness [859] of sins [266]: 44 13 39 And [2532] by [1722] him [5129] all [3956] that believe [4100] are justified [1344] from [575] all things [3956], from which [3739] ye could [1410] not [3756] be justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] of Moses [3475]. 44 13 40 Beware [991] therefore [3767], lest that [3361] come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209], which is spoken of [2046] in [1722] the prophets [4396]; 44 13 41 Behold [1492], ye despisers [2707], and [2532] wonder [2296], and [2532] perish [853]: for [3754] I [1473] work [2038] a work [2041] in [1722] your [5216] days [2250], a work [2041] which [3739] ye shall [4100] in no wise [3364] believe [4100], though [1437] a man [5100] declare it [1555] unto you [5213]. 44 13 42 And [1161] when the Jews [2453] were gone [1826] out of [1537] the synagogue [4864], the Gentiles [1484] besought [3870] that these [5023] words [4487] might be preached [2980] to them [846] [1519] the next [3342] sabbath [4521]. 44 13 43 Now [1161] when the congregation [4864] was broken up [3089], many [4183] of the Jews [2453] and [2532] religious [4576] proselytes [4339] followed [190] Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921]: who [3748], speaking [4354] to them [846], persuaded [3982] them [846] to continue [1961] in the grace [5485] of God [2316]. 44 13 44 And [1161] the next [2064] sabbath day [4521] came [4863] almost [4975] the whole [3956] city [4172] together [4863] to hear [191] the word [3056] of God [2316]. 44 13 45 But [1161] when the Jews [2453] saw [1492] the multitudes [3793], they were filled [4130] with envy [2205], and [2532] spake against [483] those things which were spoken [3004] by [5259] Paul [3972], contradicting [483] and [2532] blaspheming [987]. 44 13 46 Then [1161] Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921] waxed bold [3955], and said [2036], It was [2258] necessary [316] that the word [3056] of God [2316] should [2980] first [4412] have been spoken [2980] to you [5213]: but [1161] seeing [1894] ye put [683] it [846] from you [683], and [2532] judge [2919] yourselves [1438] unworthy [3756] [514] of everlasting [166] life [2222], lo [2400], we turn [4762] to [1519] the Gentiles [1484]. 44 13 47 For [1063] so [3779] hath [1781] the Lord [2962] commanded [1781] us [2254], saying, I have set [5087] thee [4571] to be [1519] a light [5457] of the Gentiles [1484], that thou [4571] shouldest be [1511] for [1519] salvation [4991] unto [2193] the ends [2078] of the earth [1093]. 44 13 48 And [1161] when the Gentiles [1484] heard this [191], they were glad [5463], and [2532] glorified [1392] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962]: and [2532] as many as [3745] were [2258] ordained [5021] to [1519] eternal [166] life [2222] believed [4100]. 44 13 49 And [1161] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962] was published [1308] throughout [1223] all [3650] the region [5561]. 44 13 50 But [1161] the Jews [2453] stirred up [3951] the devout [4576] and [2532] honourable [2158] women [1135], and [2532] the chief men [4413] of the city [4172], and [2532] raised [1892] persecution [1375] against [1909] Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921], and [2532] expelled [1544] them [846] out of [575] their [846] coasts [3725]. 44 13 51 But [1161] they shook off [1621] the dust [2868] of their [846] feet [4228] against [1909] them [846], and came [2064] unto [1519] Iconium [2430]. 44 13 52 And [1161] the disciples [3101] were filled with [4137] joy [5479], and [2532] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 14 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] Iconium [2430], that they [846] went [1525] both [2596] together [846] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] of the Jews [2453], and [2532] so [3779] spake [2980], that [5620] a great [4183] multitude [4128] both [5037] of the Jews [2453] and also [2532] of the Greeks [1672] believed [4100]. 44 14 2 But [1161] the unbelieving [544] Jews [2453] stirred up [1892] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] made [2559] their minds [5590] evil affected [2559] against [2596] the brethren [80]. 44 14 3 Long [2425] time [5550] therefore [3303] [3767] abode they [1304] speaking boldly [3955] in [1909] the Lord [2962], which [3588] gave testimony [3140] unto the word [3056] of his [846] grace [5485], and [2532] granted [1325] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059] to be done [1096] by [1223] their [846] hands [5495]. 44 14 4 But [1161] the multitude [4128] of the city [4172] was divided [4977]: and [2532] part [3303] held [2258] with [4862] the Jews [2453], and [1161] part with [4862] the apostles [652]. 44 14 5 And [1161] when [5613] there was [1096] an assault [3730] made [1096] both [5037] of the Gentiles [1484], and also [2532] of the Jews [2453] with [4862] their [846] rulers [758], to use them despitefully [5195], and [2532] to stone [3036] them [846], 44 14 6 They were ware [4894] of it, and fled [2703] unto [1519] Lystra [3082] and [2532] Derbe [1191], cities [4172] of Lycaonia [3071], and [2532] unto the region that lieth round about [4066]: 44 14 7 And there [2546] they preached the gospel [2258] [2097]. 44 14 8 And [2532] there sat [2521] a certain [5100] man [435] at [1722] Lystra [3082], impotent [102] in his feet [4228], being [5225] a cripple [5560] from [1537] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836], who [3739] never [3763] had walked [4043]: 44 14 9 The same [3778] heard [191] Paul [3972] speak [2980]: who [3739] stedfastly beholding [816] him [846], and [2532] perceiving [1492] that [3754] he had [2192] faith [4102] to be healed [4982], 44 14 10 Said [2036] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Stand [450] upright [3717] on [1909] thy [4675] feet [4228]. And [2532] he leaped [242] and [2532] walked [4043]. 44 14 11 And [1161] when the people [3793] saw [1492] what [3739] Paul [3972] had done [4160], they lifted up [1869] their [846] voices [5456], saying [3004] in the speech of Lycaonia [3072], The gods [2316] are come down [2597] to [4314] us [2248] in the likeness [3666] of men [444]. 44 14 12 And [5037] they called [2564] Barnabas [921], [3303] Jupiter [2203]; and [1161] Paul [3972], Mercurius [2060], because [1894] he [846] was [2258] the chief [2233] speaker [3056]. 44 14 13 Then [1161] the priest [2409] of Jupiter [2203], which [3588] was [5607] before [4253] their [846] city [4172], brought [5342] oxen [5022] and [2532] garlands [4725] unto [1909] the gates [4440], and would [2309] have done sacrifice [2380] with [4862] the people [3793]. 44 14 14 Which when [1161] the apostles [652], Barnabas [921] and [2532] Paul [3972], heard [191] of, they rent [1284] their [846] clothes [2440], and ran [1530] in among [1519] the people [3793], crying out [2896], 44 14 15 And [2532] saying [3004], Sirs [435], why [5101] do ye [4160] these things [5130]? We [2249] also [2532] are [2070] men [444] of like passions [3663] with you [5213], and preach [2097] unto you [5209] that ye should turn [1994] from [575] these [5023] vanities [3152] unto [1909] the living [2198] God [2316], which [3739] made [4160] heaven [3772], and [2532] earth [1093], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] all things [3956] that are therein [1722] [846]: 44 14 16 Who [3739] in [1722] times [1074] past [3944] suffered [1439] all [3956] nations [1484] to walk [4198] in their own [846] ways [3598]. 44 14 17 Nevertheless [2544] [2532] he left [863] not [3756] himself [1438] without witness [267], in that he did good [15], and gave [1325] us [2254] rain [5205] from heaven [3771], and [2532] fruitful [2593] seasons [2540], filling [1705] our [2257] hearts [2588] with food [5160] and [2532] gladness [2167]. 44 14 18 And [2532] with these [5023] sayings [3004] scarce [3433] restrained they [2664] the people [3793], that they had [2380] not [3361] done sacrifice [2380] unto them [846]. 44 14 19 And [1161] there came thither [1904] certain Jews [2453] from [575] Antioch [490] and [2532] Iconium [2430], who [2532] persuaded [3982] the people [3793], and [2532], having stoned [3034] Paul [3972], drew [4951] him out of [1854] the city [4172], supposing [3543] he [846] had been dead [2348]. 44 14 20 Howbeit [1161], as the disciples [3101] stood round about [2944] him [846], he rose up [450], and came [1525] into [1519] the city [4172]: and [2532] the next day [1887] he departed [1831] with [4862] Barnabas [921] to [1519] Derbe [1191]. 44 14 21 And [5037] when they had preached the gospel [2097] to that [1565] city [4172], and [2532] had taught [3100] many [2425], they returned again [5290] to [1519] Lystra [3082], and [2532] to Iconium [2430], and [2532] Antioch [490], 44 14 22 Confirming [1991] the souls [5590] of the disciples [3101], and exhorting them [3870] to continue [1696] in the faith [4102], and [2532] that [3754] we [2248] must [1163] through [1223] much [4183] tribulation [2347] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 44 14 23 And [1161] when they had ordained [5500] them [846] elders [4245] in every [2596] church [1577], and had prayed [4336] with [3326] fasting [3521], they commended [3908] them [846] to the Lord [2962], on [1519] whom [3739] they believed [4100]. 44 14 24 And [2532] after they had passed throughout [1330] Pisidia [4099], they came [2064] to [1519] Pamphylia [3828]. 44 14 25 And [2532] when they had preached [2980] the word [3056] in [1722] Perga [4011], they went down [2597] into [1519] Attalia [825]: 44 14 26 And thence [2547] sailed [636] to [1519] Antioch [490], from whence [3606] they had been [2258] recommended [3860] to the grace [5485] of God [2316] for [1519] the work [2041] which [3739] they fulfilled [4137]. 44 14 27 And [1161] when they were come [3854], and [2532] had gathered [4863] the church [1577] together [4863], they rehearsed [312] all [3745] that God [2316] had done [4160] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] how [3754] he had opened [455] the door [2374] of faith [4102] unto the Gentiles [1484]. 44 14 28 And [1161] there [1563] they abode [1304] long [3756] [3641] time [5550] with [4862] the disciples [3101]. 44 15 1 And [2532] certain men [5100] which came down [2718] from [575] Judaea [2449] taught [1321] the brethren [80], and said, [3754] Except [3362] ye be circumcised [4059] after the manner [1485] of Moses [3475], ye cannot [3756] [1410] be saved [4982]. 44 15 2 When therefore [3767] Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921] had [1096] no [3756] small [3641] dissension [4714] and [2532] disputation [4803] with [4314] them [846], they determined [5021] that Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921], and [2532] certain [5100] other [243] of [1537] them [846], should go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419] unto [4314] the apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245] about [4012] this [5127] question [2213]. 44 15 3 And [3303] [3767] being brought on their way [4311] by [5259] the church [1577], they passed through [1330] Phenice [5403] and [2532] Samaria [4540], declaring [1555] the conversion [1995] of the Gentiles [1484]: and [2532] they caused [4160] great [3173] joy [5479] unto all [3956] the brethren [80]. 44 15 4 And [1161] when they were come [3854] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], they were received [588] of [5259] the church [1577], and [2532] of the apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245], and [5037] they declared [312] all things [3745] that God [2316] had done [4160] with [3326] them [846]. 44 15 5 But [1161] there rose up [1817] certain [5100] of [575] the sect [139] of the Pharisees [5330] which believed [4100], saying [3004], That [3754] it was needful [1163] to circumcise [4059] them [846], and [5037] to command [3853] them to keep [5083] the law [3551] of Moses [3475]. 44 15 6 And [1161] the apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245] came together [4863] for to consider [1492] of [4012] this [5127] matter [3056]. 44 15 7 And [1161] when there had been [1096] much [4183] disputing [4803], Peter [4074] rose up [450], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Men [435] and brethren [80], ye [5210] know [1987] how that [3754] a good [744] while [2250] ago [575] God [2316] made choice [1586] among [1722] us [2254], that the Gentiles [1484] by [1223] my [3450] mouth [4750] should hear [191] the word [3056] of the gospel [2098], and [2532] believe [4100]. 44 15 8 And [2532] God [2316], which knoweth the hearts [2589], bare them [846] witness [3140], giving [1325] them [846] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], even [2532] as [2531] he did unto us [2254]; 44 15 9 And [2532] put [1252] no [3762] difference [1252] between [3342] [5037] us [2257] and [2532] them [846], purifying [2511] their [846] hearts [2588] by faith [4102]. 44 15 10 Now [3568] therefore [3767] why [5101] tempt ye [3985] God [2316], to put [2007] a yoke [2218] upon [1909] the neck [5137] of the disciples [3101], which [3739] neither [3777] our [2257] fathers [3962] nor [3777] we [2249] were able [2480] to bear [941]? 44 15 11 But [235] we believe [4100] that through [1223] the grace [5485] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] we shall be saved [4982], even [2596] [3739] as [5158] they [2548]. 44 15 12 Then [1161] all [3956] the multitude [4128] kept silence [4601], and [2532] gave audience [191] to Barnabas [921] and [2532] Paul [3972], declaring [1834] what [3745] miracles [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059] God [2316] had wrought [4160] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484] by [1223] them [846]. 44 15 13 And [1161] after [3326] they had held [4601] their [846] peace [4601], James [2385] answered [611], saying [3004], Men [435] and brethren [80], hearken [191] unto me [3450]: 44 15 14 Simeon [4826] hath declared [1834] how [2531] God [2316] at the first [4412] did visit [1980] the Gentiles [1484], to take [2983] out of [1537] them a people [2992] for [1909] his [846] name [3686]. 44 15 15 And [2532] to this [5129] agree [4856] the words [3056] of the prophets [4396]; as [2531] it is written [1125], 44 15 16 After [3326] this [5023] I will return [390], and [2532] will build again [456] the tabernacle [4633] of David [1138], which [3588] is fallen down [4098]; and [2532] I will build again [456] the ruins [2679] thereof [846], and [2532] I will set [461] it [846] up [461]: 44 15 17 That [3704] [302] the residue [2645] of men [444] might seek after [1567] the Lord [2962], and [2532] all [3956] the Gentiles [1484], upon [1909] whom [3739] my [3450] name [3686] is called [1941] [1909] [846], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], who [3588] doeth [4160] all [3956] these things [5023]. 44 15 18 Known [1110] unto God [2316] are [2076] all [3956] his [846] works [2041] from [575] the beginning of the world [165]. 44 15 19 Wherefore [1352] my [1473] sentence is [2919], that we trouble [3926] not [3361] them, which [3588] from among [575] the Gentiles [1484] are turned [1994] to [1909] God [2316]: 44 15 20 But [235] that we write [1989] unto them [846], that they abstain [567] from [575] pollutions [234] of idols [1497], and [2532] from fornication [4202], and [2532] from things strangled [4156], and [2532] from blood [129]. 44 15 21 For [1063] Moses [3475] of [1537] old [744] time [1074] hath [2192] in every [2596] city [4172] them that preach [2784] him [846], being read [314] in [1722] the synagogues [4864] every [2596] [3956] sabbath day [4521]. 44 15 22 Then [5119] pleased it [1380] the apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245], with [4862] the whole [3650] church [1577], to send [3992] chosen [1586] men [435] of [1537] their own company [846] to [1519] Antioch [490] with [4862] Paul [3972] and [2532] Barnabas [921]; namely, Judas [2455] surnamed [1941] Barsabas [923], and [2532] Silas [4609], chief [2233] men [435] among [1722] the brethren [80]: 44 15 23 And they wrote [1125] letters by [1223] them [5495] [846] after this manner [3592]; The apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245] and [2532] brethren [80] send greeting [5463] unto the brethren [80] which [3588] are of [1537] the Gentiles [1484] in [2596] Antioch [490] and [2532] Syria [4947] and [2532] Cilicia [2791]: 44 15 24 Forasmuch as [1894] we have heard [191], that [3754] certain [5100] which went out [1831] from [1537] us [2257] have troubled [5015] you [5209] with words [3056], subverting [384] your [5216] souls [5590], saying [3004], Ye must be circumcised [4059], and [2532] keep [5083] the law [3551]: to whom [3739] we gave [1291] no [3756] such commandment [1291]: 44 15 25 It seemed good [1380] unto us [2254], being assembled [1096] with one accord [3661], to send [3992] chosen [1586] men [435] unto [4314] you [5209] with [4862] our [2257] beloved [27] Barnabas [921] and [2532] Paul [3972], 44 15 26 Men [444] that have hazarded [3860] their [846] lives [5590] for [5228] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 44 15 27 We have sent [649] therefore [3767] Judas [2455] and [2532] Silas [4609], who [846] shall [518] also [2532] tell [518] you the same things [846] by [1223] mouth [3056]. 44 15 28 For [1063] it seemed good [1380] to the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] to us [2254], to lay upon [2007] you [5213] no [3367] greater [4119] burden [922] than [4133] these [5130] necessary things [1876]; 44 15 29 That ye abstain [567] from meats offered to idols [1494], and [2532] from blood [129], and [2532] from things strangled [4156], and [2532] from fornication [4202]: from [1537] which [3739] if ye keep [1301] yourselves [1438], ye shall do [4238] well [2095]. Fare ye well [4517]. 44 15 30 So [3303] [3767] when they were dismissed [630], they came [2064] to [1519] Antioch [490]: and [2532] when they had gathered [4863] the multitude [4128] together [4863], they delivered [1929] the epistle [1992]: 44 15 31 Which when [1161] they had read [314], they rejoiced [5463] for [1909] the consolation [3874]. 44 15 32 And Judas [2455] and [2532] Silas [4609], being [5607] prophets [4396] also [2532] themselves [846], exhorted [3870] the brethren [80] with [1223] many [4183] words [3056], and [2532] confirmed [1991] them. 44 15 33 And [1161] after they had tarried [4160] there a space [5550], they were let go [630] in [3326] peace [1515] from [575] the brethren [80] unto [4314] the apostles [652]. 44 15 34 Notwithstanding [1161] it pleased [1380] Silas [4609] to abide [1961] there [847] still [1961]. 44 15 35 Paul [3972] also [1161] and [2532] Barnabas [921] continued [1304] in [1722] Antioch [490], teaching [1321] and [2532] preaching [2097] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], with [3326] many [4183] others [2087] also [2532]. 44 15 36 And [1161] some [5100] days [2250] after [3326] Paul [3972] said [2036] unto [4314] Barnabas [921], [1211] Let us go again [1994] and visit [1980] our [2257] brethren [80] in [2596] every [3956] city [4172] where [1722] [3739] we have preached [2605] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], and see how [4459] they do [2192]. 44 15 37 And [1161] Barnabas [921] determined [1011] to take with them [4838] John [2491], whose surname was [2564] Mark [3138]. 44 15 38 But [1161] Paul [3972] thought [515] not [3361] good [515] to take [4838] him [5126] with them [4838], who [3588] departed [868] from [575] them [846] from [575] Pamphylia [3828], and [2532] went [4905] not [3361] with them [846] to [1519] the work [2041]. 44 15 39 And [3767] the contention [3948] was [1096] so sharp [3948] between them [846], that [5620] they departed asunder [673] one from the other [575] [240]: and so [5037] Barnabas [921] took [3880] Mark [3138], and sailed [1602] unto [1519] Cyprus [2954]; 44 15 40 And [1161] Paul [3972] chose [1951] Silas [4609], and departed [1831], being recommended [3860] by [5259] the brethren [80] unto the grace [5485] of God [2316]. 44 15 41 And [1161] he went through [1330] Syria [4947] and [2532] Cilicia [2791], confirming [1991] the churches [1577]. 44 16 1 Then [1161] came he [2658] to [1519] Derbe [1191] and [2532] Lystra [3082]: and [2532], behold [2400], a certain [5100] disciple [3101] was [2258] there [1563], named [3686] Timotheus [5095], the son [5207] of a certain [5100] woman [1135], which was a Jewess [2453], and believed [4103]; but [1161] his father [3962] was a Greek [1672]: 44 16 2 Which [3739] was well reported [3140] of by [5259] the brethren [80] that were at [1722] Lystra [3082] and [2532] Iconium [2430]. 44 16 3 Him [5126] would [2309] Paul [3972] have to go forth [1831] with [4862] him [846]; and [2532] took [2983] and circumcised [4059] him [846] because [1223] of the Jews [2453] which [3588] were [5607] in [1722] those [1565] quarters [5117]: for [1063] they knew [1492] all [537] that [3754] his [846] father [3962] was [5225] a Greek [1672]. 44 16 4 And [1161] as [5613] they went through [1279] the cities [4172], they delivered [3860] them [846] the decrees [1378] for to keep [5442], that were ordained [2919] of [5259] the apostles [652] and [2532] elders [4245] which [3588] were at [1722] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 16 5 And so [3303] [3767] were [4732] the churches [1577] established [4732] in the faith [4102], and [2532] increased [4052] in number [706] daily [2250] [2596]. 44 16 6 Now [1161] when they had gone throughout [1330] Phrygia [5435] and [2532] the region [5561] of Galatia [1054], and were forbidden [2967] of [5259] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] to preach [2980] the word [3056] in [1722] Asia [773], 44 16 7 After they were come [2064] to [2596] Mysia [3465], they assayed [3985] to go [4198] into [2596] Bithynia [978]: but [2532] the Spirit [4151] suffered [1439] them [846] not [3756]. 44 16 8 And [1161] they passing by [3928] Mysia [3465] came down [2597] to [1519] Troas [5174]. 44 16 9 And [2532] a vision [3705] appeared [3700] to Paul [3972] in [1223] the night [3571]; There stood [2258] [2476] a man [5100] [435] of Macedonia [3110], and prayed [3870] him [846], [2532] saying [3004], Come over [1224] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], and help [997] us [2254]. 44 16 10 And [1161] after [5613] he had seen [1492] the vision [3705], immediately [2112] we endeavoured [2212] to go [1831] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], assuredly gathering [4822] that [3754] the Lord [2962] had called [4341] us [2248] for to preach the gospel [2097] unto them [846]. 44 16 11 Therefore [3767] loosing [321] from [575] Troas [5174], we came with a straight course [2113] to [1519] Samothracia [4543], and [5037] the next [1966] day to [1519] Neapolis [3496]; 44 16 12 And [5037] from thence [1564] to [1519] Philippi [5375], which [3748] is [2076] the chief [4413] city [4172] of that part [3310] of Macedonia [3109], and a colony [2862]: and [1161] we were [2258] in [1722] that [5026] city [4172] abiding [1304] certain [5100] days [2250]. 44 16 13 And [5037] on the sabbath [4521] [2250] we went [1831] out of [1854] the city [4172] by [3844] a river side [4215], where [3757] prayer [4335] was wont [3543] to be made [1511]; and [2532] we sat down [2523], and spake [2980] unto the women [1135] which resorted [4905] thither. 44 16 14 And [2532] a certain [5100] woman [1135] named [3686] Lydia [3070], a seller of purple [4211], of the city [4172] of Thyatira [2363], which worshipped [4576] God [2316], heard [191] us: whose [3739] heart [2588] the Lord [2962] opened [1272], that she attended [4337] unto the things which were spoken [2980] of [5259] Paul [3972]. 44 16 15 And [1161] when [5613] she was baptized [907], and [2532] her [846] household [3624], she besought [3870] us, saying [3004], If [1487] ye have judged [2919] me [3165] to be [1511] faithful [4103] to the Lord [2962], come [1525] into [1519] my [3450] house [3624], and abide [3306] there. And [2532] she constrained [3849] us [2248]. 44 16 16 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], as we [2257] went [4198] to [1519] prayer [4335], a certain [5100] damsel [3814] possessed [2192] with a spirit [4151] of divination [4436] met [528] us [2254], which [3748] brought [3930] her [846] masters [2962] much [4183] gain [2039] by soothsaying [3132]: 44 16 17 The same [3778] followed [2628] Paul [3972] and [2532] us [2254], and cried [2896], saying [3004], These [3778] men [444] are [1526] the servants [1401] of the most high [5310] God [2316], which [3748] shew [2605] unto us [2254] the way [3598] of salvation [4991]. 44 16 18 And [1161] this [5124] did she [4160] [1909] many [4183] days [2250]. But [1161] Paul [3972], being grieved [1278], turned [1994] and [2532] said [2036] to the spirit [4151], I command [3853] thee [4671] in [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] to come [1831] out of [575] her [846]. And [2532] he came out [1831] the same [846] hour [5610]. 44 16 19 And [1161] when her [846] masters [2962] saw [1492] that [3754] the hope [1680] of their [846] gains [2039] was gone [1831], they caught [1949] Paul [3972] and [2532] Silas [4609], and drew [1670] them into [1519] the marketplace [58] unto [1909] the rulers [758], 44 16 20 And [2532] brought [4317] them [846] to the magistrates [4755], saying [2036], These [3778] men [444], being [5225] Jews [2453], do exceedingly trouble [1613] our [2257] city [4172], 44 16 21 And [2532] teach [2605] customs [1485], which [3739] are [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for us [2254] to receive [3858], neither [3761] to observe [4160], being [5607] Romans [4514]. 44 16 22 And [2532] the multitude [3793] rose up together [4911] against [2596] them [846]: and [2532] the magistrates [4755] rent off [4048] their [846] clothes [2440], and commanded [2753] to beat [4463] them. 44 16 23 And [5037] when they had laid [2007] many [4183] stripes [4127] upon them [846], they cast [906] them into [1519] prison [5438], charging [3853] the jailor [1200] to keep [5083] them [846] safely [806]: 44 16 24 Who [3739], having received [2983] such [5108] a charge [3852], thrust [906] them [846] into [1519] the inner [2082] prison [5438], and [2532] made [805] their [846] feet [4228] fast [805] in [1519] the stocks [3586]. 44 16 25 And [1161] at [2596] midnight [3317] Paul [3972] and [2532] Silas [4609] prayed [4336], and sang praises [5214] unto God [2316]: and [1161] the prisoners [1198] heard [1874] them [846]. 44 16 26 And [1161] suddenly [869] there was [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578], so that [5620] the foundations [2310] of the prison [1201] were shaken [4531]: and [5037] immediately [3916] all [3956] the doors [2374] were opened [455], and [2532] every one's [3956] bands [1199] were loosed [447]. 44 16 27 And [1161] the keeper of the prison [1200] awaking [1096] out of his sleep [1853], and [2532] seeing [1492] the prison [5438] doors [2374] open [455], he drew out [4685] his sword [3162], and would [3195] have killed [337] himself [1438], supposing [3543] that the prisoners [1198] had been fled [1628]. 44 16 28 But [1161] Paul [3972] cried [5455] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Do [4238] thyself [4572] no [3367] harm [2556]: for [1063] we are [2070] all [537] here [1759]. 44 16 29 Then [1161] he called [154] for a light [5457], and sprang in [1530], and [2532] came [1096] trembling [1790], and fell down before [4363] Paul [3972] and [2532] Silas [4609], 44 16 30 And [2532] brought [4254] them [846] out [1854], and said [5346], Sirs [2962], what [5101] must [1163] I [3165] do [4160] to [2443] be saved [4982]? 44 16 31 And [1161] they said [2036], Believe [4100] on [1909] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] thou [4771] shalt be saved [4982], and [2532] thy [4675] house [3624]. 44 16 32 And [2532] they spake [2980] unto him [846] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] to all [3956] that were in [1722] his [846] house [3614]. 44 16 33 And [2532] he took [3880] them [846] [1722] the same [1565] hour [5610] of the night [3571], and washed [3068] their stripes [575] [4127]; and [2532] was baptized [907], he [846] and [2532] all [3956] his [846], straightway [3916]. 44 16 34 And [5037] when he had brought [321] them [846] into [1519] his house [3624], he set [3908] meat [5132] before them [3908], and [2532] rejoiced [21], believing [4100] in God [2316] with all [3832] his [846] house [3832]. 44 16 35 And [1161] when it was [1096] day [2250], the magistrates [4755] sent [649] the serjeants [4465], saying [3004], Let [630] those [1565] men [444] go [630]. 44 16 36 And [1161] the keeper of the prison [1200] told [518] this [5128] saying [3056] to [4314] Paul [3972], [3754] The magistrates [4755] have sent [649] to [2443] let you go [630]: now [3568] therefore [3767] depart [1831], and go [4198] in [1722] peace [1515]. 44 16 37 But [1161] Paul [3972] said [5346] unto [4314] them [846], They have beaten [1194] us [2248] openly [1219] uncondemned [178], being [5225] Romans [4514] [444], and have cast [906] us into [1519] prison [5438]; and [2532] now [3568] do they thrust [1544] us [2248] out [1544] privily [2977]? nay [3756] verily [1063]; but [235] let them come [2064] themselves [846] and fetch [1806] us [2248] out [1806]. 44 16 38 And [1161] the serjeants [4465] told [312] these [5023] words [4487] unto the magistrates [4755]: and [2532] they feared [5399], when they heard [191] that [3754] they were [1526] Romans [4514]. 44 16 39 And [2532] they came [2064] and besought [3870] them [846], and [2532] brought them out [1806], and desired [2065] them to depart out [1831] of the city [4172]. 44 16 40 And [1161] they went [1831] out of [1537] the prison [5438], and entered [1525] into [1519] the house of Lydia [3070]: and [2532] when they had seen [1492] the brethren [80], they comforted [3870] them [846], and [2532] departed [1831]. 44 17 1 Now [1161] when they had passed through [1353] Amphipolis [295] and [2532] Apollonia [624], they came [2064] to [1519] Thessalonica [2332], where [3699] was [2258] a synagogue [4864] of the Jews [2453]: 44 17 2 And [1161] Paul [3972], as [2596] his manner was [1486], went in [1525] unto [4314] them [846], and [2532] [1909] three [5140] sabbath [4521] days reasoned [1256] with them [846] out of [575] the scriptures [1124], 44 17 3 Opening [1272] and [2532] alleging [3908], that [3754] Christ [5547] must needs [1163] have suffered [3958], and [2532] risen again [450] from [1537] the dead [3498]; and [2532] that [3754] this [3778] Jesus [2424], whom [3739] I [1473] preach [2605] unto you [5213], is [2076] Christ [5547]. 44 17 4 And [2532] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] believed [3982], and [2532] consorted [4345] with Paul [3972] and [2532] Silas [4609]; and [5037] of the devout [4576] Greeks [1672] a great [4183] multitude [4128], and [5037] of the chief [4413] women [1135] not [3756] a few [3641]. 44 17 5 But [1161] the Jews [2453] which believed not [544], moved with envy [2206], [2532] took unto them [4355] certain [5100] lewd [4190] fellows [435] of the baser sort [60], and [2532] gathered a company [3792], and set all [2350] the city [4172] on an uproar [2350], and [5037] assaulted [2186] the house [3614] of Jason [2394], and sought [2212] to bring [71] them [846] out [1519] to the people [1218]. 44 17 6 And [1161] when they found [2147] them [846] not [3361], they drew [4951] Jason [2394] and [2532] certain [5100] brethren [80] unto [1909] the rulers of the city [4173], crying [994], [3754] These [3778] that have turned [387] the world [3625] upside down [387] are come [3918] hither [1759] also [2532]; 44 17 7 Whom [3739] Jason [2394] hath received [5264]: and [2532] these [3778] all [3956] do [4238] contrary [561] to the decrees [1378] of Caesar [2541], saying [3004] that there is [1511] another [2087] king [935], one Jesus [2424]. 44 17 8 And [1161] they troubled [5015] the people [3793] and [2532] the rulers of the city [4173], when they heard [191] these things [5023]. 44 17 9 And [2532] when they had taken [2983] security [2425] of [3844] Jason [2394], and [2532] of the other [3062], they let [630] them [846] go [630]. 44 17 10 And [1161] the brethren [80] immediately [2112] sent away [1599] [5037] Paul [3972] and [2532] Silas [4609] by [1223] night [3571] unto [1519] Berea [960]: who [3748] coming [3854] thither went [549] into [1519] the synagogue [4864] of the Jews [2453]. 44 17 11 [1161] These [3778] were [2258] more noble [2104] than those in [1722] Thessalonica [2332], in that they [3748] received [1209] the word [3056] with [3326] all [3956] readiness of mind [4288], and searched [350] the scriptures [1124] daily [2250] [2596], whether [1487] those things [5023] were [2192] so [3779]. 44 17 12 Therefore [3767] [3303] many [4183] of [1537] them [846] believed [4100]; also [2532] of honourable [2158] women [1135] which [3588] were Greeks [1674], and [2532] of men [435], not [3756] a few [3641]. 44 17 13 But [1161] when [5613] the Jews [2453] of [575] Thessalonica [2332] had knowledge [1097] that [3754] [2532] the word [3056] of God [2316] was preached [2605] of [5259] Paul [3972] at [1722] Berea [960], they came [2064] thither also [2546], and stirred up [4531] the people [3793]. 44 17 14 And [1161] then [5119] immediately [2112] the brethren [80] sent away [1821] Paul [3972] to go [4198] as it were [5613] to [1909] the sea [2281]: but [1161] [5037] Silas [4609] and [2532] Timotheus [5095] abode [5278] there [1563] still [5278]. 44 17 15 And [1161] they that conducted [2525] Paul [3972] brought [71] him [846] unto [2193] Athens [116]: and [2532] receiving [2983] a commandment [1785] unto [4314] Silas [4609] and [2532] Timotheus [5095] for to [2443] come [2064] to [4314] him [846] with all speed [5613] [5033], they departed [1826]. 44 17 16 Now [1161] while Paul [3972] waited for [1551] them [846] at [1722] Athens [116], his [846] spirit [4151] was stirred [3947] in [1722] him [846], when he saw [2334] the city [4172] wholly given [5607] to idolatry [2712]. 44 17 17 Therefore [3767] [3303] disputed he [1256] in [1722] the synagogue [4864] with the Jews [2453], and [2532] with the devout persons [4576], and [2532] in [1722] the market [58] daily [2596] [3956] [2250] with [4314] them that met with him [3909]. 44 17 18 Then [1161] certain [5100] philosophers [5386] of the Epicureans [1946], and [2532] of the Stoicks [4770], encountered [4820] him [846]. And [2532] some [5100] said [3004], What [5101] will [302] [2309] this [3778] babbler [4691] say [3004]? [1161] other some, He seemeth [1380] to be [1511] a setter forth [2604] of strange [3581] gods [1140]: because [3754] he preached [2097] unto them [846] Jesus [2424], and [2532] the resurrection [386]. 44 17 19 And [5037] they took [1949] him [846], and brought him [71] unto [1909] Areopagus [697], saying [3004], May [1410] we know [1097] what [5101] this [3778] new [2537] doctrine [1322], whereof [5259] thou [4675] speakest [2980], is? 44 17 20 For [1063] thou bringest [1533] certain [5100] strange things [3579] to [1519] our [2257] ears [189]: we would [1014] know [1097] therefore [3767] what [5101] these things [5023] mean [302] [2309] [1511]. 44 17 21 (For [1161] all [3956] the Athenians [117] and [2532] strangers [3581] which [3588] were there [1927] spent their time [2119] in [1519] nothing [3762] else [2087], but either [2228] to tell [3004], or [2532] to hear [191] some [5100] new thing [2537].) 44 17 22 Then [1161] Paul [3972] stood [2476] in [1722] the midst [3319] of Mars' hill [697], and said [5346], Ye men [435] of Athens [117], I perceive [2334] that [5613] in [2596] all things [3956] ye [5209] are too superstitious [1174]. 44 17 23 For [1063] as I passed by [1330], and [2532] beheld [333] your [5216] devotions [4574], [2532] I found [2147] an altar [1041] with this [1722] [3739] inscription [1924], TO THE UNKNOWN [57] GOD [2316]. Whom [3739] therefore [3767] ye ignorantly [50] worship [2151], him [5126] declare [2605] I [1473] unto you [5213]. 44 17 24 God [2316] that made [4160] the world [2889] and [2532] all things [3956] therein [1722] [846], seeing that he [3778] is [5225] Lord [2962] of heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093], dwelleth [2730] not [3756] in [1722] temples [3485] made with hands [5499]; 44 17 25 Neither [3761] is worshipped [2323] with [5259] men's [444] hands [5495], as though he needed [4326] any thing [5100], seeing he [846] giveth [1325] to all [3956] life [2222], and [2532] breath [4157], and [2596] all things [3956]; 44 17 26 And [5037] hath made [4160] of [1537] one [1520] blood [129] all [3956] nations [1484] of men [444] for to dwell [2730] on [1909] all [3956] the face [4383] of the earth [1093], and hath determined [3724] the times [2540] before appointed [4384], and [2532] the bounds [3734] of their [846] habitation [2733]; 44 17 27 That they should seek [2212] the Lord [2962], if [1487] haply [686] they might feel [5584] after him [846], and [2532] find him [2147], though [2544] he be [5225] not [3756] far [3112] from [575] every [1538] one [1520] of us [2257]: 44 17 28 For [1063] in [1722] him [846] we live [2198], and [2532] move [2795], and [2532] have our being [2070]; as [5613] certain [5100] also [2532] of your [5209] own [2596] poets [4163] have said [2046], For [1063] we are [2070] also [2532] his [5120] offspring [1085]. 44 17 29 Forasmuch then [3767] as we are [5225] the offspring [1085] of God [2316], we ought [3784] not [3756] to think [3543] that the Godhead [2304] is [1511] like [3664] unto gold [5557], or [2228] silver [696], or [2228] stone [3037], graven [5480] by art [5078] and [2532] man's [444] device [1761]. 44 17 30 And [3303] [3767] the times [5550] of this ignorance [52] God [2316] winked at [5237]; but now [3569] commandeth [3853] all [3956] men [444] every where [3837] to repent [3340]: 44 17 31 Because [1360] he hath appointed [2476] a day [2250], in [1722] the which [3739] he will [3195] judge [2919] the world [3625] in [1722] righteousness [1343] by [1722] that man [435] whom [3739] he hath ordained [3724]; whereof he hath given [3930] assurance [4102] unto all [3956] men, in that he hath raised [450] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 44 17 32 And [1161] when they heard [191] of the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], some [3303] mocked [5512]: and [1161] others said [2036], We will hear [191] thee [4675] again [3825] of [4012] this [5127] matter. 44 17 33 So [2532] [3779] Paul [3972] departed [1831] from [1537] among [3319] them [846]. 44 17 34 Howbeit [1161] certain [5100] men [435] clave [2853] unto him [846], and believed [4100]: among [1722] the which [3739] [2532] was Dionysius [1354] the Areopagite [698], and [2532] a woman [1135] named [3686] Damaris [1152], and [2532] others [2087] with [4862] them [846]. 44 18 1 [1161] After [3326] these things [5023] Paul [3972] departed [5563] from [1537] Athens [116], and came [2064] to [1519] Corinth [2882]; 44 18 2 And [2532] found [2147] a certain [5100] Jew [2453] named [3686] Aquila [207], born [1085] in Pontus [4193], lately [4373] come [2064] from [575] Italy [2482], with [2532] his [846] wife [1135] Priscilla [4252]; (because that [1223] Claudius [2804] had commanded [1299] all [3956] Jews [2453] to depart [5563] from [1537] Rome [4516]:) and came [4334] unto them [846]. 44 18 3 And [2532] because [1223] he was [1511] of the same craft [3673], he abode [3306] with [3844] them [846], and [2532] wrought [2038]: for [1063] by their occupation [5078] they were [2258] tentmakers [4635]. 44 18 4 And [1161] he reasoned [1256] in [1722] the synagogue [4864] [2596] every [3956] sabbath [4521], and [5037] persuaded [3982] the Jews [2453] and [2532] the Greeks [1672]. 44 18 5 And [1161] when [5613] [5037] Silas [4609] and [2532] Timotheus [5095] were come [2718] from [575] Macedonia [3109], Paul [3972] was pressed [4912] in the spirit [4151], and testified [1263] to the Jews [2453] that Jesus [2424] was Christ [5547]. 44 18 6 And [1161] when they opposed [498] themselves [846], and [2532] blasphemed [987], he shook [1621] his raiment [2440], and said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Your [5216] blood [129] be upon [1909] your [5216] own heads [2776]; I [1473] am clean [2513]: from [575] henceforth [3568] I will go [4198] unto [1519] the Gentiles [1484]. 44 18 7 And [2532] he departed [3327] thence [1564], and entered [2064] into [1519] a certain [5100] man's house [3614], named [3686] Justus [2459], one that worshipped [4576] God [2316], whose [3739] house [3614] joined hard [4927] [2258] to the synagogue [4864]. 44 18 8 And [1161] Crispus [2921], the chief ruler of the synagogue [752], believed [4100] on the Lord [2962] with [4862] all [3650] his [846] house [3624]; and [2532] many [4183] of the Corinthians [2881] hearing [191] believed [4100], and [2532] were baptized [907]. 44 18 9 Then [1161] spake [2036] the Lord [2962] to Paul [3972] in [1223] the night [3571] by [1722] a vision [3705], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399], but [235] speak [2980], and [2532] hold [4623] not [3361] thy peace [4623]: 44 18 10 For [1360] I [1473] am [1510] with [3326] thee [4675], and [2532] no man [3762] shall set on [2007] thee [4671] to hurt [2559] thee [4571]: for [1360] I [3427] have [2076] much [4183] people [2992] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172]. 44 18 11 And [5037] he continued [2523] there a year [1763] and [2532] six [1803] months [3376], teaching [1321] the word [3056] of God [2316] among [1722] them [846]. 44 18 12 And [1161] when Gallio [1058] was the deputy [445] of Achaia [882], the Jews [2453] made insurrection [2721] with one accord against [3661] Paul [3972], and [2532] brought [71] him [846] to [1909] the judgment seat [968], 44 18 13 Saying [3004], [3754] This [3778] fellow persuadeth [374] men [444] to worship [4576] God [2316] contrary [3844] to the law [3551]. 44 18 14 And [1161] when Paul [3972] was now about [3195] to open [455] his mouth [4750], Gallio [1058] said [2036] unto [4314] the Jews [2453], If [1487] [3303] [3767] it were [2258] a [5100] matter of wrong [92] or [2228] wicked [4190] lewdness [4467], O [5599] ye Jews [2453], reason [2596] [3056] would [302] that I should bear [430] with you [5216]: 44 18 15 But [1161] if [1487] it be [2076] a question [2213] of [4012] words [3056] and [2532] names [3686], and [2532] of [2596] your [5209] law [3551], look ye [3700] [846] to it; for [1063] I [1473] will be [1014] [1511] no [3756] judge [2923] of such [5130] matters. 44 18 16 And [2532] he drave [556] them [846] from [575] the judgment seat [968]. 44 18 17 Then [1161] all [3956] the Greeks [1672] took [1949] Sosthenes [4988], the chief ruler of the synagogue [752], and beat [5180] him before [1715] the judgment seat [968]. And [2532] Gallio [1058] cared [3199] for none [3762] of those things [5130]. 44 18 18 And [1161] Paul [3972] after this tarried [4357] there yet [2089] a good [2425] while [2250], and then took his leave [657] of the brethren [80], and sailed thence [1602] into [1519] Syria [4947], and [2532] with [4862] him [846] Priscilla [4252] and [2532] Aquila [207]; having shorn [2751] his head [2776] in [1722] Cenchrea [2747]: for [1063] he had [2192] a vow [2171]. 44 18 19 And [1161] he came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2548] left [2641] them there [847]: but [1161] he himself [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and reasoned with [1256] the Jews [2453]. 44 18 20 When [1161] they [846] desired [2065] him to tarry [3306] longer [1909] [4119] time [5550] with [3844] them [846], he consented [1962] not [3756]; 44 18 21 But [235] bade [657] them [846] farewell [657], saying [2036], I [3165] must [1163] by all means [3843] keep [4160] this feast [1859] that cometh [2064] in [1519] Jerusalem [2414]: but [1161] I will return [344] again [3825] unto [4314] you [5209], if God [2316] will [2309]. And [2532] he sailed [321] from [575] Ephesus [2181]. 44 18 22 And [2532] when he had landed [2718] at [1519] Caesarea [2542], and gone up [305], and [2532] saluted [782] the church [1577], he went down [2597] to [1519] Antioch [490]. 44 18 23 And [2532] after he had spent [4160] some [5100] time [5550] there, he departed [1831], and went over [1330] all the country [5561] of Galatia [1054] and [2532] Phrygia [5435] in order [2517], strengthening [1991] all [3956] the disciples [3101]. 44 18 24 And [1161] a certain [5100] Jew [2453] named [3686] Apollos [625], born [1085] at Alexandria [221], an eloquent [3052] man [435], and mighty [5607] [1415] in [1722] the scriptures [1124], came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181]. 44 18 25 This man [3778] was [2258] instructed in [2727] the way [3598] of the Lord [2962]; and [2532] being fervent [2204] in the spirit [4151], he spake [2980] and [2532] taught [1321] diligently [199] the things of [4012] the Lord [2962], knowing [1987] only [3440] the baptism [908] of John [2491]. 44 18 26 And [5037] he [3778] began [756] to speak boldly [3955] in [1722] the synagogue [4864]: whom [846] when [1161] Aquila [207] and [2532] Priscilla [4252] had heard [191], they took [4355] him [846] unto them, and [2532] expounded [1620] unto him [846] the way [3598] of God [2316] more perfectly [197]. 44 18 27 And [1161] when he [846] was disposed [1014] to pass [1330] into [1519] Achaia [882], the brethren [80] wrote [1125], exhorting [4389] the disciples [3101] to receive [588] him [846]: who [3739], when he was come [3854], helped them [4820] much [4183] which had believed [4100] through [1223] grace [5485]: 44 18 28 For [1063] he mightily [2159] convinced [1246] the Jews [2453], and that publickly [1219], shewing [1925] by [1223] the scriptures [1124] that Jesus [2424] was [1511] Christ [5547]. 44 19 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, while Apollos [625] was [1511] [1722] at [1722] Corinth [2882], Paul [3972] having passed [1330] through the upper [510] coasts [3313] came [2064] to [1519] Ephesus [2181]: and [2532] finding [2147] certain [5100] disciples [3101], 44 19 2 He said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], [1487] Have ye received [2983] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] since ye believed [4100]? And [1161] they said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], [235] We have [191] not so much as [3761] heard [191] whether [1487] there be any [2076] Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 44 19 3 And [5037] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Unto [1519] what [5101] then [3767] were ye baptized [907]? And [1161] they said [2036], Unto [1519] John's [2491] baptism [908]. 44 19 4 Then [1161] said [2036] Paul [3972], John [2491] verily [3303] baptized [907] with the baptism [908] of repentance [3341], saying [3004] unto the people [2992], that [2443] they should believe [4100] on [1519] him which should come [2064] after [3326] him [846], that is [5123], on [1519] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 44 19 5 When [1161] they heard [191] this, they were baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 44 19 6 And [2532] when Paul [3972] had laid [2007] his hands [5495] upon [2007] them [846], the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] came [2064] on [1909] them [846]; and [5037] they spake [2980] with tongues [1100], and [2532] prophesied [4395]. 44 19 7 And [1161] all [3956] the men [435] were [2258] about [5616] twelve [1177]. 44 19 8 And [1161] he went [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and spake boldly [3955] for the space [1909] of three [5140] months [3376], disputing [1256] and [2532] persuading [3982] the things concerning [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 44 19 9 But [1161] when [5613] divers [5100] were hardened [4645], and [2532] believed not [544], but spake evil [2551] of that way [3598] before [1799] the multitude [4128], he departed [868] from [575] them [846], and separated [873] the disciples [3101], disputing [1256] daily [2596] [2250] in [1722] the school [4981] of one [5100] Tyrannus [5181]. 44 19 10 And [1161] this [5124] continued [1096] by the space [1909] of two [1417] years [2094]; so [5620] that all [3956] they which dwelt in [2730] Asia [773] heard [191] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], both [5037] Jews [2453] and [2532] Greeks [1672]. 44 19 11 And [5037] God [2316] wrought [4160] special [3756] [5177] miracles [1411] by [1223] the hands [5495] of Paul [3972]: 44 19 12 So [2532] [5620] that from [575] his [846] body [5559] were brought [2018] unto [1909] the sick [770] handkerchiefs [4676] or [2228] aprons [4612], and [2532] the diseases [3554] departed [525] from [575] them [846], and [5037] the evil [4190] spirits [4151] went [1831] out of [575] them [846]. 44 19 13 Then [1161] certain [5100] of [575] the vagabond [4022] Jews [2453], exorcists [1845], took upon them [2021] to call [3687] over [1909] them which had [2192] evil [4190] spirits [4151] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], saying [3004], We adjure [3726] you [5209] by Jesus [2424] whom [3739] Paul [3972] preacheth [2784]. 44 19 14 And [1161] there were [2258] seven [2033] sons [5207] of one Sceva [4630] [5100], a Jew [2453], and chief of the priests [749], which did [4160] so [5124]. 44 19 15 And [1161] the evil [4190] spirit [4151] answered [611] and said [2036], Jesus [2424] I know [1097], and [2532] Paul [3972] I know [1987]; but [1161] who [5101] are [2075] ye [5210]? 44 19 16 And [2532] the man [444] in [1722] whom [3739] the evil [4190] spirit [4151] was [2258] leaped [2177] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] overcame [2634] them [846], and prevailed [2480] against [2596] them [846], so [5620] that they fled [1628] out of [1537] that [1565] house [3624] naked [1131] and [2532] wounded [5135]. 44 19 17 And [1161] this [5124] was [1096] known [1110] to all [3956] the Jews [2453] and [5037] Greeks [1672] also [2532] dwelling [2730] at Ephesus [2181]; and [2532] fear [5401] fell [1968] on [1909] them [846] all [3956], and [2532] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] was magnified [3170]. 44 19 18 And [5037] many [4183] that believed [4100] came [2064], and confessed [1843], and [2532] shewed [312] their [846] deeds [4234]. 44 19 19 Many [2425] of them also [1161] which used [4238] curious arts [4021] brought [4851] their books [976] together [4851], and burned them [2618] before [1799] all [3956] men: and [2532] they counted [4860] the price [5092] of them [846], and [2532] found [2147] it fifty [4002] thousand [3461] pieces of silver [694]. 44 19 20 So [3779] mightily [2596] [2904] grew [837] the word [3056] of God [2962] and [2532] prevailed [2480]. 44 19 21 After [1161] [5613] these things [5023] were ended [4137], Paul [3972] purposed [5087] in [1722] the spirit [4151], when he had passed through [1330] Macedonia [3109] and [2532] Achaia [882], to go [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], saying [2036], After [3754] [3326] I [3165] have been [1096] there [1563], I [3165] must [1163] also [2532] see [1492] Rome [4516]. 44 19 22 So [1161] he sent [649] into [1519] Macedonia [3109] two [1417] of them that ministered [1247] unto him [846], Timotheus [5095] and [2532] Erastus [2037]; but he himself [846] stayed [1907] in [1519] Asia [773] for a season [5550]. 44 19 23 And [1161] [2596] the same [1565] time [2540] there arose [1096] no [3756] small [3641] stir [5017] about [4012] that way [3598]. 44 19 24 For [1063] a certain [5100] man named [3686] Demetrius [1216], a silversmith [695], which made [4160] silver [693] shrines [3485] for Diana [735], brought [3930] no [3756] small [3641] gain [2039] unto the craftsmen [5079]; 44 19 25 Whom [3739] he called together [4867] with the workmen [2040] of [4012] like occupation [5108], and [2532] said [2036], Sirs [435], ye know [1987] that [3754] by [1537] this [5026] craft [2039] we have [2076] our [2257] wealth [2142]. 44 19 26 Moreover [2532] ye see [2334] and [2532] hear [191], that [3754] not [3756] alone [3440] at Ephesus [2181], but [235] almost [4975] throughout all [3956] Asia [773], this [3778] Paul [3972] hath persuaded [3982] and turned away [3179] much [2425] people [3793], saying [3004] that [3754] they be [1526] no [3756] gods [2316], which [3588] are made [1096] with [1223] hands [5495]: 44 19 27 So [1161] that not [3756] only [3440] this [5124] our [2254] craft [3313] is in danger [2793] to be set [2064] at [1519] nought [557]; but [235] also [2532] that the temple [2411] of the great [3173] goddess [2299] Diana [735] should be despised [1519] [3762] [3049], and [1161] [2532] her [846] magnificence [3168] should [3195] be destroyed [2507], whom [3739] all [3650] Asia [773] and [2532] the world [3625] worshippeth [4576]. 44 19 28 And [1161] when they heard [191] these sayings, they were [1096] full [4134] of wrath [2372], and [2532] cried out [2896], saying [3004], Great [3173] is Diana [735] of the Ephesians [2180]. 44 19 29 And [2532] the whole [3650] city [4172] was filled [4130] with confusion [4799]: and [5037] having caught [4884] Gaius [1050] and [2532] Aristarchus [708], men of Macedonia [3110], Paul's [3972] companions in travel [4898], they rushed [3729] with one accord [3661] into [1519] the theatre [2302]. 44 19 30 And [1161] when [1014] Paul [3972] would [1014] have entered [1525] in [1519] unto the people [1218], the disciples [3101] suffered [1439] him [846] not [3756]. 44 19 31 And [1161] [2532] certain [5100] of the chief of Asia [775], which were [5607] his [846] friends [5384], sent [3992] unto [4314] him [846], desiring [3870] him that he would [1325] not [3361] adventure [1325] himself [1438] into [1519] the theatre [2302]. 44 19 32 Some [243] therefore [3767] [3303] cried [2896] one thing [5100], and some another [243]: for [1063] the assembly [1577] was [2258] confused [4797]; and [2532] the more part [4119] knew [1492] not [3756] wherefore [5101] [1752] they were come together [4905]. 44 19 33 And [1161] they drew [4264] Alexander [223] out of [1537] the multitude [3793], the Jews [2453] putting [4261] him [846] forward [4261] [4261]. And [1161] Alexander [223] beckoned [2678] with the hand [5495], and would [2309] have made his defence [626] unto the people [1218]. 44 19 34 But [1161] when they knew [1921] that [3754] he was [2076] a Jew [2453], all [3956] [1096] with [1537] one [3391] voice [5456] about [5613] the space [1909] of two [1417] hours [5610] cried out [2896], Great [3173] is Diana [735] of the Ephesians [2180]. 44 19 35 And [1161] when the townclerk [1122] had appeased [2687] the people [3793], he said [5346], Ye men [435] of Ephesus [2180], what [5101] [1063] man [444] is there [2076] that [3739] knoweth [1097] not [3756] how that the city [4172] of the Ephesians [2180] is [5607] a worshipper [3511] of the great [3173] goddess [2299] Diana [735], and [2532] of the image which fell down from Jupiter [1356]? 44 19 36 Seeing [5607] then [3767] that these things [5130] cannot be spoken against [368], ye [5209] ought [1163] [2076] to be [5225] quiet [2687], and [2532] to do [4238] nothing [3367] rashly [4312]. 44 19 37 For [1063] ye have brought hither [71] these [5128] men [435], which are neither [3777] robbers of churches [2417], nor yet [3777] blasphemers [987] of your [5216] goddess [2299]. 44 19 38 Wherefore [3303] [3767] if [1487] Demetrius [1216], and [2532] the craftsmen [5079] which are with [4862] him [846], have [2192] a matter [3056] against [4314] any man [5100], the law [60] is open [71], and [2532] there are [1526] deputies [446]: let them implead [1458] one another [240]. 44 19 39 But [1161] if [1487] ye enquire [1934] any thing [5100] concerning [4012] other matters [2087], it shall be determined [1956] in [1722] a lawful [1772] assembly [1577]. 44 19 40 For [1063] [2532] we are in danger [2793] to be called in question [1458] for [4012] this day's [4594] uproar [4714], there being [5225] no [3367] cause [158] whereby [4012] [3739] we may [1410] give [591] an account [3056] of this [5026] concourse [4963]. 44 19 41 And [2532] when he had [2036] thus [5023] spoken [2036], he dismissed [630] the assembly [1577]. 44 20 1 And [1161] after [3326] the uproar [2351] was ceased [3973], Paul [3972] called [4341] unto him the disciples [3101], and [2532] embraced [782] them, and departed [1831] for to go [4198] into [1519] Macedonia [3109]. 44 20 2 And [1161] when he had gone over [1330] those [1565] parts [3313], and [2532] had given [4183] them [846] much [4183] exhortation [3870] [3056], he came [2064] into [1519] Greece [1671], 44 20 3 And [5037] there abode [4160] three [5140] months [3376]. And when the Jews [5259] [2453] laid [1096] wait [1917] for him [846], as he was about [3195] to sail [321] into [1519] Syria [4947], he purposed [1096] [1106] to return [5290] through [1223] Macedonia [3109]. 44 20 4 And [1161] there accompanied [4902] him [846] into [891] Asia [773] Sopater [4986] of Berea [961]; and [1161] of the Thessalonians [2331], Aristarchus [708] and [2532] Secundus [4580]; and [2532] Gaius [1050] of Derbe [1190], and [2532] Timotheus [5095]; and [1161] of Asia [774], Tychicus [5190] and [2532] Trophimus [5161]. 44 20 5 These [3778] going before [4281] tarried [3306] for us [2248] at [1722] Troas [5174]. 44 20 6 And [1161] we [2249] sailed away [1602] from [575] Philippi [5375] after [3326] the days [2250] of unleavened bread [106], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] them [846] to [1519] Troas [5174] in [891] five [4002] days [2250]; where [3757] we abode [1304] seven [2033] days [2250]. 44 20 7 And [1161] upon [1722] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], when the disciples [3101] came together [4863] to break [2806] bread [740], Paul [3972] preached [1256] unto them [846], ready [3195] to depart [1826] on the morrow [1887]; and [5037] continued [3905] his speech [3056] until [3360] midnight [3317]. 44 20 8 And [1161] there were [2258] many [2425] lights [2985] in [1722] the upper chamber [5253], where [3757] they were [2258] gathered together [4863]. 44 20 9 And [1161] there sat [2521] in [1909] a window [2376] a certain [5100] young man [3494] named [3686] Eutychus [2161], being fallen [2702] into a deep [901] sleep [5258]: and as Paul [3972] was long [1909] [4119] preaching [1256], he sunk down [2702] with [575] sleep [5258], and fell down [2736] [4098] from [575] the third loft [5152], and [2532] was taken up [142] dead [3498]. 44 20 10 And [1161] Paul [3972] went down [2597], and fell on [1968] him [846], and [2532] embracing [4843] him said [2036], Trouble [2350] not [3361] yourselves [2350]; for [1063] his [846] life [5590] is [2076] in [1722] him [846]. 44 20 11 When [1161] he [305] therefore was come up again [305], and [2532] had broken [2806] bread [740], and [2532] eaten [1089], and [5037] talked [3656] [1909] a long while [2425], even till [891] break of day [827], so [3779] he departed [1831]. 44 20 12 And [1161] they brought [71] the young man [3816] alive [2198], and [2532] were [3870] not [3756] a little [3357] comforted [3870]. 44 20 13 And [1161] we [2249] went before [4281] to [1909] ship [4143], and sailed [321] unto [1519] Assos [789], there [1564] intending [3195] to take in [353] Paul [3972]: for [1063] so [3779] had he [2258] appointed [1299], minding [3195] himself [846] to go afoot [3978]. 44 20 14 And [1161] when [5613] he met [4820] with us [2254] at [1519] Assos [789], we took [353] him [846] in [353], and came [2064] to [1519] Mitylene [3412]. 44 20 15 And [2547] we sailed [636] thence [2547], and came [2658] the next [1966] day over against [481] Chios [5508]; and [1161] the next [2087] day we arrived [3846] at [1519] Samos [4544], and [2532] tarried [3306] at [1722] Trogyllium [5175]; and the next [2192] day we came [2064] to [1519] Miletus [3399]. 44 20 16 For [1063] Paul [3972] had determined [2919] to sail by [3896] Ephesus [2181], because [3704] he [846] would [1096] not [3361] spend the time [5551] in [1722] Asia [773]: for [1063] he hasted [4692], if [1487] it were [2258] possible [1415] for him [846], to be [1096] at [1519] Jerusalem [2414] the day [2250] of Pentecost [4005]. 44 20 17 And [1161] from [575] Miletus [3399] he sent [3992] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and called [3333] the elders [4245] of the church [1577]. 44 20 18 And [1161] when [5613] they were come [3854] to [4314] him [846], he said [2036] unto them [846], Ye [5210] know [1987], from [575] the first [4413] day [2250] that [575] [3739] I came [1910] into [1519] Asia [773], after what manner [4459] I have been [1096] with [3326] you [5216] at all [3956] seasons [5550], 44 20 19 Serving [1398] the Lord [2962] with [3326] all [3956] humility of mind [5012], and [2532] with many [4183] tears [1144], and [2532] temptations [3986], which [3588] befell [4819] me [3427] by [1722] the lying in wait [1917] of the Jews [2453]: 44 20 20 And how [5613] I kept back [5288] nothing [3762] that was profitable [4851] unto you, but [3361] have shewed [312] you [5213], and [2532] have taught [1321] you [5209] publickly [1219], and [2532] from [2596] house to house [3624], 44 20 21 Testifying [1263] both [5037] to the Jews [2453], and also [2532] to the Greeks [1672], repentance [3341] toward [1519] God [2316], and [2532] faith [4102] toward [1519] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 44 20 22 And [2532] now [3568], behold [2400], I [1473] go [4198] bound [1210] in the spirit [4151] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], not [3361] knowing [1492] the things that shall befall [4876] me [3427] there [1722] [846]: 44 20 23 Save [4133] that [3754] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] witnesseth [1263] in every [2596] city [4172], saying [3004] that [3754] bonds [1199] and [2532] afflictions [2347] abide [3306] me [3165]. 44 20 24 But [235] none [3762] of these things [3056] move me [4160], neither [3761] count I [2192] my [3450] life [5590] dear [5093] unto myself [1683], so [5613] that I might finish [5048] my [3450] course [1408] with [3326] joy [5479], and [2532] the ministry [1248], which [3739] I have received [2983] of [3844] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], to testify [1263] the gospel [2098] of the grace [5485] of God [2316]. 44 20 25 And [2532] now [3568], behold [2400], I [1473] know [1492] that [3754] ye [5210] all [3956], among [1722] whom [3739] I have gone [1330] preaching [2784] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], shall see [3700] my [3450] face [4383] no more [3765]. 44 20 26 Wherefore [1352] I take [3143] you [5213] to record [3143] this [1722] [4594] day [2250], that [3754] I [1473] am pure [2513] from [575] the blood [129] of all [3956] men. 44 20 27 For [1063] I have [5288] not [3756] [3361] shunned [5288] to declare [312] unto you [5213] all [3956] the counsel [1012] of God [2316]. 44 20 28 Take heed [4337] therefore [3767] unto yourselves [1438], and [2532] to all [3956] the flock [4168], over [1722] the which [3739] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] hath made [5087] you [5209] overseers [1985], to feed [4165] the church [1577] of God [2316], which [3739] he hath purchased [4046] with [1223] his own [2398] blood [129]. 44 20 29 For [1063] I [1473] know [1492] this [5124], that [3754] after [3326] my [3450] departing [867] shall grievous [926] wolves [3074] enter in [1525] among [1519] you [5209], not [3361] sparing [5339] the flock [4168]. 44 20 30 Also [2532] of [1537] your [5216] own selves [846] shall [450] men [435] arise [450], speaking [2980] perverse things [1294], to draw away [645] disciples [3101] after [3694] them [846]. 44 20 31 Therefore [1352] watch [1127], and remember [3421], that [3754] by the space of three years [5148] I ceased [3973] not [3756] to warn [3560] every [1538] one [1520] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250] with [3326] tears [1144]. 44 20 32 And [2532] now [3569], brethren [80], I commend [3908] you [5209] to God [2316], and [2532] to the word [3056] of his [846] grace [5485], which [3588] is able [1410] to build you up [2026], and [2532] to give [1325] you [5213] an inheritance [2817] among [1722] all [3956] them which are sanctified [37]. 44 20 33 I have coveted [1937] no man's [3762] silver [694], or [2228] gold [5553], or [2228] apparel [2441]. 44 20 34 Yea [1161], ye yourselves [846] know [1097], that [3754] these [3778] hands [5495] have ministered [5256] unto my [3450] necessities [5532], and [2532] to them that were [5607] with [3326] me [1700]. 44 20 35 I have shewed [5263] you [5213] all things [3956], how that [3754] so [3779] labouring [2872] ye ought [1163] to support [482] the weak [770], and [5037] to remember [3421] the words [3056] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], how [3754] he [846] said [2036], It is [2076] more [3123] blessed [3107] to give [1325] than [2228] to receive [2983]. 44 20 36 And [2532] when he had thus [5023] spoken [2036], he [846] kneeled [1119] down [5087], and prayed [4336] with [4862] them [846] all [3956]. 44 20 37 And [1161] they all [3956] wept [2805] [1096] sore [2425], and [2532] fell [1968] on [1909] Paul's [3972] neck [5137], and kissed [2705] him [846], 44 20 38 Sorrowing [3600] most of all [3122] for [1909] the words [3056] which [3739] he spake [2046], that [3754] they should [3195] see [2334] his [846] face [4383] no more [3765]. And [1161] they accompanied [4311] him [846] unto [1519] the ship [4143]. 44 21 1 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that after [5613] we [2248] were gotten [645] from [575] them [846], and had launched [321], we came [2064] with a straight course [2113] unto [1519] Coos [2972], and [1161] the day following [1836] unto [1519] Rhodes [4499], and from thence [2547] unto [1519] Patara [3959]: 44 21 2 And [2532] finding [2147] a ship [4143] sailing over [1276] unto [1519] Phenicia [5403], we went aboard [1910], and set forth [321]. 44 21 3 Now [1161] when we had discovered [398] Cyprus [2954], [2532] we left [2641] it [846] on the left hand [2176], and sailed [4126] into [1519] Syria [4947], and [2532] landed [2609] at [1519] Tyre [5184]: for [1063] there [1566] the ship [4143] was [2258] to unlade [670] her burden [1117]. 44 21 4 And [2532] finding [429] disciples [3101], we tarried [1961] there [847] seven [2033] days [2250]: who [3748] said [3004] to Paul [3972] through [1223] the Spirit [4151], that he should [305] not [3361] go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 21 5 And [1161] when [3753] we [2248] had [1096] accomplished [1822] those days [2250], we departed [1831] and went our way [4198]; and they all [3956] brought [4311] us [2248] on our way [4311], with [4862] wives [1135] and [2532] children [5043], till [2193] we were out of [1854] the city [4172]: and [2532] we kneeled down [5087] [1119] on [1909] the shore [123], and prayed [4336]. 44 21 6 And [2532] when we had taken our leave [782] one of another [240], we took [1910] [1519] ship [4143]; and [1161] they [1565] returned [5290] [1519] home [2398] again [5290]. 44 21 7 And [1161] when we [2249] had finished [1274] our course [4144] from [575] Tyre [5184], we came [2658] to [1519] Ptolemais [4424], and [2532] saluted [782] the brethren [80], and abode [3306] with [3844] them [846] one [3391] day [2250]. 44 21 8 And [1161] the next [1887] day we that were of [4012] Paul's [3972] company [4012] departed [1831], and came [2064] [2064] unto [1519] Caesarea [2542]: and [2532] we entered [1525] into [1519] the house [3624] of Philip [5376] the evangelist [2099], which was [5607] one of [1537] the seven [2033]; and abode [3306] with [3844] him [846]. 44 21 9 And [1161] the same man [5129] had [2258] four [5064] daughters [2364], virgins [3933], which did prophesy [4395]. 44 21 10 And [1161] as we [2257] tarried [1961] there many [4119] days [2250], there came down [2718] from [575] Judaea [2449] a certain [5100] prophet [4396], named [3686] Agabus [13]. 44 21 11 And [2532] when he was come [2064] unto [4314] us [2248], [2532] he took [142] Paul's [3972] girdle [2223], and [5037] bound [1210] his own [846] hands [5495] and [2532] feet [4228], and said [2036], Thus [3592] saith [3004] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], So [3779] shall [1210] the Jews [2453] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419] bind [1210] the man [435] that [3739] owneth [2076] this [3778] girdle [2223], and [2532] shall deliver [3860] him into [1519] the hands [5495] of the Gentiles [1484]. 44 21 12 And [1161] when [5613] we heard [191] these things [5023], both [5037] we [2249], and [2532] they of that place [1786], besought [3870] him [846] not [3361] to go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 21 13 Then [1161] Paul [3972] answered [611], What [5101] mean ye [4160] to weep [2799] and [2532] to break [4919] mine [3450] heart [2588]? for [1063] I [1473] am [2192] ready [2093] not [3756] to be bound [1210] only [3440], but [2532] also [235] to die [599] at [1519] Jerusalem [2419] for [5228] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 44 21 14 And [1161] when he [846] would [3982] not [3361] be persuaded [3982], we ceased [2270], saying [2036], The will [2307] of the Lord [2962] be done [1096]. 44 21 15 And [1161] after [3326] those [5025] days [2250] we took up our carriages [643], and went up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 44 21 16 [1161] There went [4905] with [4862] us [2254] also [2532] certain of the disciples [3101] of [575] Caesarea [2542], and brought [71] with them [3844] one [5100] Mnason [3416] of Cyprus [2953], an old [744] disciple [3101], with whom [3739] we should lodge [3579]. 44 21 17 And [1161] when we [2257] were come [1096] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], the brethren [80] received [1209] us [2248] gladly [780]. 44 21 18 And [1161] the day following [1966] Paul [3972] went in [1524] with [4862] us [2254] unto [4314] James [2385]; and [5037] all [3956] the elders [4245] were present [3854]. 44 21 19 And [2532] when he had saluted [782] them [846], he declared [1834] particularly [2596] [1520] [1538] what things [3739] God [2316] had wrought [4160] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484] by [1223] his [846] ministry [1248]. 44 21 20 And [1161] when they heard [191] it, they glorified [1392] the Lord [2962], and [5037] said [2036] unto him [846], Thou seest [2334], brother [80], how many [4214] thousands [3461] of Jews [2453] there are [1526] which [3588] believe [4100]; and [2532] they are [5225] all [3956] zealous [2207] of the law [3551]: 44 21 21 And [1161] they are informed [2727] of [4012] thee [4675], that [3754] thou teachest [1321] all [3956] the Jews [2453] which are among [2596] the Gentiles [1484] to [575] forsake [646] Moses [3475], saying [3004] that they [846] ought [4059] not [3361] to circumcise [4059] their children [5043], neither [3366] to walk [4043] after the customs [1485]. 44 21 22 What [5101] is it [2076] therefore [3767]? the multitude [4128] must [1163] needs [3843] come together [4905]: for [1063] they will hear [191] that [3754] thou art come [2064]. 44 21 23 Do [4160] therefore [3767] this [5124] that [3739] we say [3004] to thee [4671]: We [2254] have [1526] four [5064] men [435] which have [2171] a vow [2192] on [1909] them [1438]; 44 21 24 Them [5128] take [3880], and purify thyself [48] with [4862] them [846], and [2532] be at charges [1159] with [1909] them [846], that [2443] they may shave [3587] their heads [2776]: and [2532] all [3956] may know [1097] that those things [3754], whereof [3739] they were informed [2727] concerning [4012] thee [4675], are [2076] nothing [3762]; but [235] that thou thyself [846] also [2532] walkest orderly [4748], and keepest [5442] the law [3551]. 44 21 25 As [1161] touching [4012] the Gentiles [1484] which believe [4100], we [2249] have written [1989] and concluded [2919] that they [846] observe [5083] no [3367] such thing [5108], save only [1508] that they keep [5442] themselves [846] from [5037] things offered to idols [1494], and [2532] from blood [129], and [2532] from strangled [4156], and [2532] from fornication [4202]. 44 21 26 Then [5119] Paul [3972] took [3880] the men [435], and the next [2192] day [2250] purifying himself [48] with [4862] them [846] entered [1524] into [1519] the temple [2411], to signify [1229] the accomplishment [1604] of the days [2250] of purification [49], until [2193] that [3739] an offering [4376] should be offered [4374] for [5228] every [1538] one [1520] of them [846]. 44 21 27 And [1161] when [5613] the seven [2033] days [2250] were almost [3195] ended [4931], the Jews [2453] which were of [575] Asia [773], when they saw [2300] him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411], stirred up [4797] all [3956] the people [3793], and [2532] laid [1911] hands [5495] on [1909] him [846], 44 21 28 Crying out [2896], Men [435] of Israel [2475], help [997]: This [3778] is [2076] the man [444], that teacheth [1321] all [3956] men every where [3837] against [2596] the people [2992], and [2532] the law [3551], and [2532] this [5126] place [5117]: and [5037] further [2089] brought [1521] Greeks [1672] also [2532] into [1519] the temple [2411], and [2532] hath polluted [2840] this [5127] holy [40] place [5117]. 44 21 29 (For [1063] they had [2258] seen before [4308] with [4862] him [846] in [1722] the city [4172] Trophimus [5161] an Ephesian [2180], whom [3739] they supposed [3543] that [3754] Paul [3972] had brought [1521] into [1519] the temple [2411].) 44 21 30 And [5037] all [3650] the city [4172] was moved [2795], and [2532] the people [2992] ran together [1096] [4890]: and [2532] they took [1949] Paul [3972], and drew [1670] him [846] out of [1854] the temple [2411]: and [2532] forthwith [2112] the doors [2374] were shut [2808]. 44 21 31 And [1161] as they went about [2212] to kill [615] him [846], tidings [5334] came [305] unto the chief captain [5506] of the band [4686], that [3754] all [3650] Jerusalem [2419] was in an uproar [4797]. 44 21 32 Who [3739] immediately [1824] took [3880] soldiers [4757] and [2532] centurions [1543], and ran down [2701] unto [1909] them [846]: and [1161] when they saw [1492] the chief captain [5506] and [2532] the soldiers [4757], they left [3973] beating [5180] of Paul [3972]. 44 21 33 Then [5119] the chief captain [5506] came near [1448], and took [1949] him [846], and [2532] commanded [2753] him to be bound with [1210] two [1417] chains [254]; and [2532] demanded [4441] who [5101] he was [302] [1498], and [2532] what [5101] he had [2076] done [4160]. 44 21 34 And [1161] some [243] cried [994] one thing [5100], some another [243], among [1722] the multitude [3793]: and [1161] when he could [1410] not [3361] know [1097] the certainty [804] for [1223] the tumult [2351], he commanded [2753] him [846] to be carried [71] into [1519] the castle [3925]. 44 21 35 And [1161] when [3753] he came [1096] upon [1909] the stairs [304], so it was [4819], that he was borne [941] of [5259] the soldiers [4757] for [1223] the violence [970] of the people [3793]. 44 21 36 For [1063] the multitude [4128] of the people [2992] followed after [190], crying [2896], Away [142] with him [846]. 44 21 37 And [5037] as Paul [3972] was to be [3195] led [1521] into [1519] the castle [3925], he said [3004] unto the chief captain [5506], May [1487] [1832] I [3427] speak [2036] [5100] unto [4314] thee [4571]? [1161] Who [3588] said [5346], Canst thou speak [1097] Greek [1676]? 44 21 38 Art [1488] not [3756] thou [4771] [686] that Egyptian [124], which before [4253] these [5130] days [2250] madest an uproar [387], and [2532] leddest out [1806] into [1519] the wilderness [2048] four thousand [5070] men [435] that were murderers [4607]? 44 21 39 But [1161] Paul [3972] said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] [3303] a man [444] which am a Jew [2453] of Tarsus [5018], a city in Cilicia [2791], a citizen [4177] of no [3756] mean [767] city [4172]: and [1161], I beseech [1189] thee [4675], suffer [2010] me [3427] to speak [2980] unto [4314] the people [2992]. 44 21 40 And [1161] when he had given [2010] him [846] licence [2010], Paul [3972] stood [2476] on [1909] the stairs [304], and beckoned [2678] with the hand [5495] unto the people [2992]. And [1161] when there was made [1096] a great [4183] silence [4602], he spake [4377] unto them in the Hebrew [1446] tongue [1258], saying [3004], 44 22 1 Men [435], brethren [80], and [2532] fathers [3962], hear ye [191] my [3450] defence [627] which I make now [3568] unto [4314] you [5209]. 44 22 2 (And [1161] when they heard [191] that [3754] he spake [4377] in the Hebrew [1446] tongue [1258] to them [846], they kept [3930] the more [3123] silence [2271]: and [2532] he saith [5346] 44 22 3 I [1473] am [1510] verily [3303] a man [435] which am a Jew [2453], born [1080] in [1722] Tarsus [5019], a city in Cilicia [2791], yet [1161] brought up [397] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172] at [3844] the feet [4228] of Gamaliel [1059], and taught [3811] according [2596] to the perfect manner [195] of the law [3551] of the fathers [3971], and was [5225] zealous [2207] toward God [2316], as [2531] ye [5210] all [3956] are [2075] this day [4594]. 44 22 4 And I [3739] persecuted [1377] this [5026] way [3598] unto [891] the death [2288], binding [1195] and [2532] delivering [3860] into [1519] prisons [5438] both [5037] men [435] and [2532] women [1135]. 44 22 5 As [5613] also [2532] the high priest [749] doth bear [3140] me [3427] witness [3140], and [2532] all [3956] the estate of the elders [4244]: from [3844] whom [3739] also [2532] I received [1209] letters [1992] unto [4314] the brethren [80], and [2532] went [4198] to [1519] Damascus [1154], to bring [71] them which were [5607] there [1566] bound [1210] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419], for to [2443] be punished [5097]. 44 22 6 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, as I made [4198] my [3427] journey [4198], and [2532] was come nigh [1448] unto Damascus [1154] about [4012] noon [3314], suddenly [1810] there shone [4015] from [1537] heaven [3772] a great [2425] light [5457] round [4015] about [4012] me [1691]. 44 22 7 And [5037] I fell [4098] unto [1519] the ground [1475], and [2532] heard [191] a voice [5456] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Saul [4549], Saul [4549], why [5101] persecutest thou [1377] me [3165]? 44 22 8 And [1161] I [1473] answered [611], Who [5101] art thou [1488], Lord [2962]? And [5037] he said [2036] unto [4314] me [3165], I [1473] am [1510] Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480], whom [3739] thou [4771] persecutest [1377]. 44 22 9 And [1161] they that were [5607] with [4862] me [1698] saw [2300] indeed [3303] the light [5457], and [2532] were [1096] afraid [1719]; but [1161] they heard [191] not [3756] the voice [5456] of him that spake [2980] to me [3427]. 44 22 10 And [1161] I said [2036], What [5101] shall I do [4160], Lord [2962]? And [1161] the Lord [2962] said [2036] unto [4314] me [3165], Arise [450], and go [4198] into [1519] Damascus [1154]; and there [2546] it shall be told [2980] thee [4671] of [4012] all things [3956] which [3739] are appointed [5021] for thee [4671] to do [4160]. 44 22 11 And [1161] when [5613] I could [1689] not [3756] see [1689] for [575] the glory [1391] of that [1565] light [5457], being led by the hand [5496] of [5259] them that were [4895] with me [3427], I came [2064] into [1519] Damascus [1154]. 44 22 12 And [1161] one [5100] Ananias [367], a devout [2152] man [435] according [2596] to the law [3551], having a good report [3140] of [5259] all [3956] the Jews [2453] which dwelt [2730] there, 44 22 13 Came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] stood [2186], and said [2036] unto me [3427], Brother [80] Saul [4549], receive thy sight [308]. And [2504] the same [846] hour [5610] I [2504] looked up [308] upon [1519] him [846]. 44 22 14 And [1161] he said [2036], The God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962] hath chosen [4400] thee [4571], that thou shouldest know [1097] his [846] will [2307], and [2532] see [1492] that Just One [1342], and [2532] shouldest hear [191] the voice [5456] of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]. 44 22 15 For [3754] thou shalt be [2071] his [846] witness [3144] unto [4314] all [3956] men [444] of what [3739] thou hast seen [3708] and [2532] heard [191]. 44 22 16 And [2532] now [3568] why [5101] tarriest thou [3195]? arise [450], and be baptized [907], and [2532] wash away [628] thy [4675] sins [266], calling on [1941] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. 44 22 17 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that, when I [3427] was come again [5290] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], even [2532] while I [3450] prayed [4336] in [1722] the temple [2411], I [3165] was [1096] in [1722] a trance [1611]; 44 22 18 And [2532] saw [1492] him [846] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Make haste [4692], and [2532] get thee [1831] quickly [5034] [1722] out of [1537] Jerusalem [2419]: for [1360] they will [3858] not [3756] receive [3858] thy [4675] testimony [3141] concerning [4012] me [1700]. 44 22 19 And I [2504] said [2036], Lord [2962], they [846] know [1987] that [3754] I [1473] imprisoned [2252] [5439] and [2532] beat [1194] in every [2596] synagogue [4864] them that believed [4100] on [1909] thee [4571]: 44 22 20 And [2532] when [3753] the blood [129] of thy [4675] martyr [3144] Stephen [4736] was shed [1632], I [846] also [2532] was [2252] standing by [2186], and [2532] consenting [4909] unto his [846] death [336], and [2532] kept [5442] the raiment [2440] of them that slew [337] him [846]. 44 22 21 And [2532] he said [2036] unto [4314] me [3165], Depart [4198]: for [3754] I [1473] will send [1821] thee [4571] far hence [3112] unto [1519] the Gentiles [1484]. 44 22 22 And [1161] they gave [191] him [846] audience [191] unto [891] this [5127] word [3056], and [2532] then lifted up [1869] their [846] voices [5456], and said [3004], Away with [142] such [5108] a fellow from [575] the earth [1093]: for [1063] it is [2520] not [3756] fit [2520] that he [846] should live [2198]. 44 22 23 And [1161] as they [846] cried out [2905], and [2532] cast off [4495] their clothes [2440], and [2532] threw [906] dust [2868] into [1519] the air [109], 44 22 24 The chief captain [5506] commanded [2753] him [846] to be brought [71] into [1519] the castle [3925], and bade [2036] that he [846] should be examined [426] by scourging [3148]; that [2443] he might know [1921] wherefore [1223] [3739] [156] they cried [2019] so [3779] against [2019] him [846]. 44 22 25 And [1161] as [5613] they bound [4385] [4385] him [846] with thongs [2438], Paul [3972] said [2036] unto [4314] the centurion [1543] that stood by [2476], Is it lawful [1487] [1832] for you [5213] to scourge [3147] a man [444] that is a Roman [4514], and [2532] uncondemned [178]? 44 22 26 When [1161] the centurion [1543] heard [191] that, he went [4334] and told [518] the chief captain [5506], saying [3004], Take heed [3708] what [5101] thou doest [3195] [4160]: for [1063] this [3778] man [444] is [2076] a Roman [4514]. 44 22 27 Then [1161] the chief captain [5506] came [4334], and said [2036] unto him [846], Tell [3004] me [3427], [1487] art [1488] thou [4771] a Roman [4514]? [1161] He said [5346], Yea [3483]. 44 22 28 And [5037] the chief captain [5506] answered [611], With a great [4183] sum [2774] obtained [2932] I [1473] this [5026] freedom [4174]. And [1161] Paul [3972] said [5346], But [1161] I [1473] [2532] was free born [1080]. 44 22 29 Then [3767] straightway [2112] they departed [868] from [575] him [846] which [3588] should [3195] have examined [426] him [846]: and [1161] the chief captain [5506] also [2532] was afraid [5399], after he knew [1921] that [3754] he was [2076] a Roman [4514], and [2532] because [3754] he had [2258] bound [1210] him [846]. 44 22 30 [1161] On the morrow [1887], because he would [1014] have known [1097] the certainty [804] wherefore [5101] he was accused [2723] of [3844] the Jews [2453], he loosed [3089] him [846] from [575] his bands [1199], and [2532] commanded [2753] the chief priests [749] and [2532] all [3650] their [846] council [4892] to appear [2064], and [2532] brought [2609] Paul [3972] down [2609], and set him [2476] before [1519] them [846]. 44 23 1 And [1161] Paul [3972], earnestly beholding [816] the council [4892], said [2036], Men [435] and brethren [80], I [1473] have lived [4176] in all [3956] good [18] conscience [4893] before God [2316] until [891] this [5026] day [2250]. 44 23 2 And [1161] the high priest [749] Ananias [367] commanded [2004] them that stood by [3936] him [846] to smite [5180] him [846] on the mouth [4750]. 44 23 3 Then [5119] said [2036] Paul [3972] unto [4314] him [846], God [2316] shall [3195] smite [5180] thee [4571], thou whited [2867] wall [5109]: for [2532] sittest [2521] thou [4771] to judge [2919] me [3165] after [2596] the law [3551], and [2532] commandest [2753] me [3165] to be smitten [5180] contrary to the law [3891]? 44 23 4 And [1161] they that stood by [3936] said [2036], Revilest thou [3058] God's [2316] high priest [749]? 44 23 5 Then [5037] said [5346] Paul [3972], I wist [1492] not [3756], brethren [80], that [3754] he was [2076] the high priest [749]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Thou shalt [2046] not [3756] speak [2046] evil [2560] of the ruler [758] of thy [4675] people [2992]. 44 23 6 But [1161] when Paul [3972] perceived [1097] that [3754] the one [1520] part [3313] were [2076] Sadducees [4523], and [1161] the other [2087] Pharisees [5330], he cried out [2896] in [1722] the council [4892], Men [435] and brethren [80], I [1473] am [1510] a Pharisee [5330], the son [5207] of a Pharisee [5330]: of [4012] the hope [1680] and [2532] resurrection [386] of the dead [3498] I [1473] am called in question [2919]. 44 23 7 And [1161] when he [846] had [2980] so [5124] said [2980], there arose [1096] a dissension [4714] between the Pharisees [5330] and [2532] the Sadducees [4523]: and [2532] the multitude [4128] was divided [4977]. 44 23 8 For [1063] [3303] the Sadducees [4523] say [3004] that there is [1511] no [3361] resurrection [386], neither [3366] angel [32], nor [3383] spirit [4151]: but [1161] the Pharisees [5330] confess [3670] both [297]. 44 23 9 And [1161] there arose [1096] a great [3173] cry [2906]: and [2532] the scribes [1122] that were of the Pharisees [5330]' part [3313] arose [450], and strove [1264], saying [3004], We find [2147] no [3762] evil [2556] in [1722] this [5129] man [444]: but [1161] if [1487] a spirit [4151] or [2228] an angel [32] hath spoken [2980] to him [846], let us [2313] not [3361] fight [2313] against God. 44 23 10 And [1161] when there arose [1096] a great [4183] dissension [4714], the chief captain [5506], fearing [2125] lest [3361] Paul [3972] should have been pulled in pieces [1288] of [5259] them [846], commanded [2753] the soldiers [4753] to go down [2597], and to take [726] him [846] by force [726] from [1537] among [3319] them [846], and [5037] to bring [71] him into [1519] the castle [3925]. 44 23 11 And [1161] the night [3571] following [1966] the Lord [2962] stood by [2186] him [846], and said [2036], Be of good cheer [2293], Paul [3972]: for [1063] as [5613] thou hast testified [1263] of [4012] me [1700] in [1519] Jerusalem [2419], so [3779] must [1163] thou [4571] bear witness [3140] also [2532] at [1519] Rome [4516]. 44 23 12 And [1161] when it was [1096] day [2250], certain [5100] of the Jews [2453] banded together [4160] [4963], and bound [332] themselves [1438] under a curse [332], saying [3004] that they would [5315] neither [3383] eat [5315] nor [3383] drink [4095] till [2193] [3739] they had killed [615] Paul [3972]. 44 23 13 And [1161] they were [2258] more than [4119] forty [5062] which [3588] had made [4160] this [5026] conspiracy [4945]. 44 23 14 And they [3748] came to [4334] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245], and said [2036], We have bound [332] ourselves [1438] under a great curse [331], that we will eat [1089] nothing [3367] until [2193] [3739] we have slain [615] Paul [3972]. 44 23 15 Now [3568] therefore [3767] ye [5210] with [4862] the council [4892] signify [1718] to the chief captain [5506] that [3704] he bring [2609] him [846] down [2609] unto [4314] you [5209] to morrow [839], as [5613] though ye would [3195] enquire [1231] something more perfectly [197] concerning [4012] him [846]: and [1161] we [2249], or ever [4253] he [846] come near [1448], are [2070] ready [2092] to kill [337] him [846]. 44 23 16 And [1161] when Paul's [3972] sister's [79] son [5207] heard [191] of their lying in wait [1749], he went [3854] and [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] the castle [3925], and told [518] Paul [3972]. 44 23 17 Then [1161] Paul [3972] called [4341] one [1520] of the centurions [1543] unto him, and said [5346], Bring [520] this [5126] young man [3494] unto [4314] the chief captain [5506]: for [1063] he hath [2192] a certain thing [5100] to tell [518] him [846]. 44 23 18 So [3767] [3303] he took [3880] him [846], and brought [71] him to [4314] the chief captain [5506], and [2532] said [5346], Paul [3972] the prisoner [1198] called [4341] me [3165] unto him, and prayed me [2065] to bring [71] this [5126] young man [3494] unto [4314] thee [4571], who hath [2192] something [5100] to say [2980] unto thee [4671]. 44 23 19 Then [1161] the chief captain [5506] took [1949] him [846] by the hand [5495], and [2532] went with him aside [402] privately [2596] [2398], and asked [4441] him, What [5101] is [2076] that [3739] thou hast [2192] to tell [518] me [3427]? 44 23 20 And [1161] he said [2036], [3754] The Jews [2453] have agreed [4934] to desire [2065] thee [4571] that [3704] thou wouldest bring down [2609] Paul [3972] to morrow [839] into [1519] the council [4892], as [5613] though they would [3195] enquire [4441] somewhat [5100] of [4012] him [846] more perfectly [197]. 44 23 21 But [3767] do [3982] not [3361] thou [4771] yield [3982] unto them [846]: for [1063] there lie in wait for [1748] him [846] of [1537] them [846] more than [4119] forty [5062] men [435], which [3748] have bound [332] themselves [1438] with an oath [332], that they will [5315] neither [3383] eat [5315] nor [3383] drink [4095] till [2193] [3739] they have killed [337] him [846]: and [2532] now [3568] are they [1526] ready [2092], looking for [4327] a promise [1860] from [575] thee [4675]. 44 23 22 So [3303] [3767] the chief captain [5506] then let [630] the young man [3494] depart [630], and charged [3853] him, See thou tell [1583] no man [3367] that [3754] thou hast shewed [1718] these things [5023] to [4314] me [3165]. 44 23 23 And [2532] he called unto [4341] him [5100] two [1417] centurions [1543], saying [2036], Make ready [2090] two hundred [1250] soldiers [4757] to [3704] go [4198] to [2193] Caesarea [2542], and [2532] horsemen [2460] threescore and ten [1440], and [2532] spearmen [1187] two hundred [1250], at [575] the third [5154] hour [5610] of the night [3571]; 44 23 24 And [5037] provide [3936] them beasts [2934], that [2443] they may set [1913] Paul [3972] on [1913], and bring him safe [1295] unto [4314] Felix [5344] the governor [2232]. 44 23 25 And he wrote [1125] a letter [1992] after [4023] this [5126] manner [5179]: 44 23 26 Claudius [2804] Lysias [3079] unto the most excellent [2903] governor [2232] Felix [5344] sendeth greeting [5463]. 44 23 27 This [5126] man [435] was taken [4815] of [5259] the Jews [2453], and [2532] should [3195] have been killed [337] of [5259] them [846]: then came I [2186] with [4862] an army [4753], and rescued [1807] him [846], having understood [3129] that [3754] he was [2076] a Roman [4514]. 44 23 28 And [1161] when [1014] I would [1014] have known [1097] the cause [156] wherefore [1223] [3739] they accused [1458] him [846], I brought [2609] him [846] forth [2609] into [1519] their [846] council [4892]: 44 23 29 Whom [3739] I perceived [2147] to be accused [1458] of [4012] questions [2213] of their [846] law [3551], but [1161] to have [2192] nothing [3367] laid to his charge [1462] worthy [514] of death [2288] or [2228] of bonds [1199]. 44 23 30 And [1161] when it was told [3377] me [3427] how that [5259] the Jews [2453] laid wait [1917] [3195] [1510] for [1519] the man [435], I sent [3992] straightway [1824] to [4314] thee [4571], and gave commandment [3853] to his accusers [2725] also [2532] to say [3004] before [1909] thee [4675] what they had against [4314] him [846]. Farewell [4517]. 44 23 31 Then [3767] [3303] the soldiers [4757], as [2596] it was commanded [1299] them [846], took [353] Paul [3972], and brought [71] him by [1223] night [3571] to [1519] Antipatris [494]. 44 23 32 [1161] On the morrow [1887] they left [1439] the horsemen [2460] to go [4198] with [4862] him [846], and returned [5290] to [1519] the castle [3925]: 44 23 33 Who [3748], when they came [1525] to [1519] Caesarea [2542], and [2532] delivered [325] the epistle [1992] to the governor [2232], presented [3936] Paul [3972] also [2532] before him [846]. 44 23 34 And [1161] when the governor [2232] had read [314] the letter, [2532] he asked [1905] of [1537] what [4169] province [1885] he was [2076]. And [2532] when he understood [4441] that [3754] he was of [575] Cilicia [2791]; 44 23 35 I will hear [1251] thee [4675], said he [5346], when [3752] thine [4675] accusers [2725] are [3854] also [2532] come [3854]. And [5037] he commanded [2753] him [846] to be kept [5442] in [1722] Herod's [2264] judgment hall [4232]. 44 24 1 And [1161] after [3326] five [4002] days [2250] Ananias [367] the high priest [749] descended [2597] with [3326] the elders [4245], and [2532] with a certain [5100] orator [4489] named Tertullus [5061], who [3748] informed [1718] the governor [2232] against [2596] Paul [3972]. 44 24 2 And [1161] when he [846] was called forth [2564], Tertullus [5061] began [756] to accuse [2723] him, saying [3004], Seeing that by [1223] thee [4675] we enjoy [5177] great [4183] quietness [1515], and [2532] that very worthy deeds [2735] are done [1096] unto this [5129] nation [1484] by [1223] thy [4674] providence [4307], 44 24 3 [5037] We accept [588] it always [3839], and [2532] in all places [3837], most noble [2903] Felix [5344], with [3326] all [3956] thankfulness [2169]. 44 24 4 Notwithstanding [1161], that [3363] I be [4119] not [3363] [1909] further [4119] tedious [1465] unto thee [4571], I pray [3870] thee [4571] that thou wouldest hear [191] us [2257] of thy [4674] clemency [1932] a few words [4935]. 44 24 5 For [1063] we have found [2147] this [5126] man [435] a pestilent [3061] fellow, and [2532] a mover [2795] of sedition [4714] among all [3956] the Jews [2453] throughout [2596] the world [3625], and [5037] a ringleader [4414] of the sect [139] of the Nazarenes [3480]: 44 24 6 Who [3739] also [2532] hath gone about [3985] to profane [953] the temple [2411]: [2532] whom [3739] we took [2902], and [2532] would [2309] have judged [2919] according [2596] to our [2251] law [3551]. 44 24 7 But [1161] the chief captain [5506] Lysias [3079] came [3928] upon us, and with [3326] great [4183] violence [970] took him away [520] out of [1537] our [2257] hands [5495], 44 24 8 Commanding [2753] his [846] accusers [2725] to come [2064] unto [1909] thee [4571]: by examining [350] of [3844] whom [3739] thyself [846] mayest [1410] take knowledge [1921] of [4012] all [3956] these things [5130], whereof [3739] we [2249] accuse [2723] him [846]. 44 24 9 And [1161] the Jews [2453] also [2532] assented [4934], saying [5335] that these things [5023] were [2192] so [3779]. 44 24 10 Then [1161] Paul [3972], after that the governor [2232] had beckoned [3506] unto him [846] to speak [3004], answered [611], Forasmuch as I know [1987] that thou [4571] hast been [5607] of [1537] many [4183] years [2094] a judge [2923] unto this [5129] nation [1484], I do [626] the more cheerfully [2115] answer [626] for [4012] myself [1683]: 44 24 11 Because that thou [4675] mayest [1410] understand [1097], that [3754] there are [1526] yet but [2228] [3756] twelve [1177] days [2250] [4119] since [575] [3739] I [3427] went up [305] to [1722] Jerusalem [2419] for to worship [4352]. 44 24 12 And [2532] they neither [3777] found [2147] me [3165] in [1722] the temple [2411] disputing [1256] with [4314] any man [5100], neither [2228] raising up [1999] [4160] the people [3793] [1999], neither [3777] in [1722] the synagogues [4864], nor [3777] in [2596] the city [4172]: 44 24 13 Neither [3777] can [1410] they prove [3936] [3165] the things [4012] whereof [3739] they [2723] now [3568] accuse [2723] me [3450]. 44 24 14 But [1161] this [5124] I confess [3670] unto thee [4671], that [3754] after [2596] the way [3598] which [3739] they call [3004] heresy [139], so [3779] worship I [3000] the God [2316] of my fathers [3971], believing [4100] all things [3956] which [3588] are written [1125] in [2596] the law [3551] and [2532] in [1722] the prophets [4396]: 44 24 15 And have [2192] hope [1680] toward [1519] God [2316], which [3739] they [3778] themselves [846] also [2532] allow [4327], that there shall be [3195] [1510] a resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], both [5037] of the just [1342] and [2532] unjust [94]. 44 24 16 And [1161] herein [1722] [5129] do I exercise [778] myself [846], to have [2192] always [1275] a conscience [4893] void of offence [677] toward [4314] God [2316], and [2532] toward men [444]. 44 24 17 Now [1161] after [1223] many [4119] years [2094] I came [3854] to bring [4160] alms [1654] to [1519] my [3450] nation [1484], and [2532] offerings [4376]. 44 24 18 [1161] Whereupon [1722] [3739] certain [5100] Jews [2453] from [575] Asia [773] found [2147] me [3165] purified [48] in [1722] the temple [2411], neither [3756] with [3326] multitude [3793], nor [3761] with [3326] tumult [2351]. 44 24 19 Who [3739] ought [1163] [1163] to have been here [3918] before [1909] thee [4675], and [2532] object [2723], if [1536] they had [2192] ought [1536] against [4314] me [3165]. 44 24 20 Or else [2228] let [2036] these [846] same [3778] here say [2036], if [1536] they have found [2147] any [1536] evil doing [92] in [1722] me [1698], while I [3450] stood [2476] before [1909] the council [4892], 44 24 21 Except [2228] it be for [4012] this [5026] one [3391] voice [5456], that [3739] I cried [2896] standing [2476] among [1722] them [846], Touching [3754] [4012] the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498] I [1473] am called in question [2919] by [5259] you [5216] this day [4594]. 44 24 22 And [1161] when Felix [5344] heard [191] these things [5023], having more perfect [197] knowledge [1492] of [4012] that way [3598], he deferred [306] them [846], and said [2036], When [3752] Lysias [3079] the chief captain [5506] shall come down [2597], I will know the uttermost [1231] of your [5209] matter [2596]. 44 24 23 And [5037] he commanded [1299] a centurion [1543] to keep [5083] Paul [3972], and [5037] to let him have [2192] liberty [425], and [2532] that he should forbid [2967] none [3367] of his [846] acquaintance [2398] to minister [5256] or [2228] come [4334] unto him [846]. 44 24 24 And [1161] after [3326] certain [5100] days [2250], when Felix [5344] came [3854] with [4862] his [846] wife [1135] Drusilla [1409], which was [5607] a Jewess [2453], he sent for [3343] Paul [3972], and [2532] heard [191] him [846] concerning [4012] the faith [4102] in [1519] Christ [5547]. 44 24 25 And [1161] as he [846] reasoned [1256] of [4012] righteousness [1343], temperance [2532] [1466], and [2532] judgment [2917] to come [3195] [1510], Felix [5344] trembled [1096] [1719], and answered [611], Go thy way [4198] for this time [3568]; when [1161] I have [2192] [3335] a convenient season [2540], I will call for [3333] thee [4571]. 44 24 26 He hoped [1679] also [260] [1161] [2532] that [3754] money [5536] should have been given [1325] him [846] of [5259] Paul [3972], that [3704] he might loose [3089] him [846]: wherefore [1352] he sent for [3343] him [846] the oftener [4437], and [2532] communed with [3656] him [846]. 44 24 27 But [1161] after [4137] two years [1333] Porcius [4201] Festus [5347] came [2983] into Felix [5344]' room [1240]: and [5037] Felix [5344], willing [2309] to shew [2698] the Jews [2453] a pleasure [5485], left [2641] Paul [3972] bound [1210]. 44 25 1 Now [3767] when Festus [5347] was come [1910] into the province [1885], after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] he ascended [305] from [575] Caesarea [2542] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]. 44 25 2 Then [1161] the high priest [749] and [2532] the chief [4413] of the Jews [2453] informed [1718] him [846] against [2596] Paul [3972], and [2532] besought [3870] him [846], 44 25 3 And desired [154] favour [5485] against [2596] him [846], that [3704] he would send for [3343] him [846] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], laying [4160] wait [1747] in [2596] the way [3598] to kill [337] him [846]. 44 25 4 But [3303] [3767] Festus [5347] answered [611], that Paul [3972] should be kept [5083] at [1722] Caesarea [2542], and [1161] that he himself [1438] would [3195] depart [1607] [1722] shortly [5034] thither. 44 25 5 Let them therefore [3767], said [5346] he, which among [1722] you [5213] are able [1415], go down with [4782] me, and accuse [2723] this [846] man [435], if [1536] there be [2076] any wickedness [1536] in [1722] him [5129]. 44 25 6 And [1161] when he had tarried [1304] among [1722] them [846] more [4119] than [2228] ten [1176] days [2250], he went down [2597] unto [1519] Caesarea [2542]; and the next day [1887] sitting [2523] on [1909] the judgment seat [968] commanded [2753] Paul [3972] to be brought [71]. 44 25 7 And [1161] when he [846] was come [3854], the Jews [2453] which came down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2414] stood round about [4026], and [2532] laid [5342] many [4183] and grievous [926] complaints [157] against [2596] Paul [3972], which [3739] they could [2480] not [3756] prove [584]. 44 25 8 While he answered [626] for himself [846], Neither [3754] [3777] against [1519] the law [3551] of the Jews [2453], neither [3777] against [1519] the temple [2411], nor yet [3777] against [1519] Caesar [2541], have I offended [264] any thing at all [5100]. 44 25 9 But [1161] Festus [5347], willing [2309] to do [2698] the Jews [2453] a pleasure [5485], answered [611] Paul [3972], and said [2036], Wilt thou [2309] go up [305] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and there [1563] be judged [2919] of [4012] these things [5130] before [1909] me [1700]? 44 25 10 Then [1161] said [2036] Paul [3972], I stand [1510] [2476] at [1909] Caesar's [2541] judgment seat [968], where [3757] I [3165] ought [1163] to be judged [2919]: to the Jews [2453] have I done [91] no [3762] wrong [91], as [5613] [2532] thou [4771] very well [2566] knowest [1921]. 44 25 11 For [1063] if [1487] [3303] I be an offender [91], or [2532] have committed [4238] any thing [5100] worthy [514] of death [2288], I refuse [3868] not [3756] to die [599]: but [1161] if [1487] there be [2076] none [3762] of these things [3739] whereof these [3778] accuse [2723] me [3450], no man [3762] may [1410] deliver [5483] me [3165] unto them [846]. I appeal unto [1941] Caesar [2541]. 44 25 12 Then [5119] Festus [5347], when he had conferred [4814] with [3326] the council [4824], answered [611], Hast thou appealed unto [1941] Caesar [2541]? unto [1909] Caesar [2541] shalt thou go [4198]. 44 25 13 And [1161] after [1230] certain [5100] days [2250] king [935] Agrippa [67] and [2532] Bernice [959] came [2658] unto [1519] Caesarea [2542] to salute [782] Festus [5347]. 44 25 14 And [1161] when [5613] they had been [1304] there [1563] many [4119] days [2250], Festus [5347] declared [394] Paul's [3972] cause [2596] unto the king [935], saying [3004], There is [2076] a certain [5100] man [435] left [2641] in bonds [1198] by [5259] Felix [5344]: 44 25 15 About [4012] whom [3739], when [1096] I [3450] was [1096] at [1519] Jerusalem [2414], the chief priests [749] and [2532] the elders [4245] of the Jews [2453] informed [1718] me, desiring [154] to have judgment [1349] against [2596] him [846]. 44 25 16 To [4314] whom [3739] I answered [611], [3754] It is [2076] not [3756] the manner [1485] of the Romans [4514] to deliver [5483] any [5100] man [444] to [1519] die [684], before [4250] that [2228] he which is accused [2723] have [2192] the accusers [2725] face to face [2596] [4383], [5037] and have [2983] licence [5117] to answer for himself [627] concerning [4012] the crime laid against him [1462]. 44 25 17 Therefore [3767], when they [846] were come [4905] hither [1759], without [4160] any [3367] delay [311] on the morrow [1836] I sat [2523] on [1909] the judgment seat [968], and commanded [2753] the man [435] to be brought forth [71]. 44 25 18 Against [4012] whom [3739] when the accusers [2725] stood up [2476], they brought [2018] none [3762] accusation [156] of such things as [3739] I [1473] supposed [5282]: 44 25 19 But [1161] had [2192] certain [5100] questions [2213] against [4314] him [846] of [4012] their own [2398] superstition [1175], and [2532] of [4012] one [5100] Jesus [2424], which was dead [2348], whom [3739] Paul [3972] affirmed [5335] to be alive [2198]. 44 25 20 And [1161] because I [1473] doubted [639] of [1519] such [5127] manner [4012] of questions [2214], I asked [3004] him whether [1487] he would [1014] go [4198] to [1519] Jerusalem [2419], and there [2546] be judged [2919] of [4012] these matters [5130]. 44 25 21 But [1161] when Paul [3972] had appealed [1941] to be reserved [5083] [846] unto [1519] the hearing [1233] of Augustus [4575], I commanded [2753] him [846] to be kept [5083] till [2193] [3739] I might send [3992] him [846] to [4314] Caesar [2541]. 44 25 22 Then [1161] Agrippa [67] said [5346] unto [4314] Festus [5347], I would [1014] also [2532] hear [191] the man [444] myself [846]. To morrow [839], [1161] said [5346] he, thou shalt hear [191] him [846]. 44 25 23 And on the morrow [1887], when [3767] Agrippa [67] was come [2064], and [2532] Bernice [959], with [3326] great [4183] pomp [5325], and [2532] was entered [1525] into [1519] the place of hearing [201], with [4862] [5037] the chief captains [5506], and [2532] principal [2596] [1851] men [435] of [5607] the city [4172], at [2532] Festus [5347]' commandment [2753] Paul [3972] was brought forth [71]. 44 25 24 And [2532] Festus [5347] said [5346], King [935] Agrippa [67], and [2532] all [3956] men [435] which [3588] are here present [4840] with us [2254], ye see [2334] this man [5126], about [4012] whom [3739] all [3956] the multitude [4128] of the Jews [2453] have dealt [1793] with me [3427], both [5037] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] also here [1759], crying [1916] that he ought [1163] not [3361] to live [2198] any longer [3371]. 44 25 25 But [1161] when I [1473] found [2638] that he [846] had committed [4238] nothing [3367] worthy [514] of death [2288], and [2532] [1161] that he himself [846] hath appealed [5127] to [1941] Augustus [4575], I have determined [2919] to send [3992] him [846]. 44 25 26 Of [4012] whom [3739] I have [2192] no [3756] certain [804] thing [5100] to write [1125] unto my lord [2962]. Wherefore [1352] I have brought [4254] him [846] forth [4254] before [1909] you [5216], and [2532] specially [3122] before [1909] thee [4675], O king [935] Agrippa [67], that [3704], after examination [351] had [1096], I might have [2192] somewhat [5100] to write [1125]. 44 25 27 For [1063] it seemeth [1380] to me [3427] unreasonable [249] to send [3992] a prisoner [1198], and [2532] not withal [3361] to signify [4591] the crimes [156] laid against [2596] him [846]. 44 26 1 Then [1161] Agrippa [67] said [5346] unto [4314] Paul [3972], Thou [4671] art permitted [2010] to speak [3004] for [5228] thyself [4572]. Then [5119] Paul [3972] stretched forth [1614] the hand [5495], and answered for himself [626]: 44 26 2 I think [2233] myself [1683] happy [3107], king [935] Agrippa [67], because I shall [3195] answer for myself [626] this day [4594] before [1909] thee [4675] touching [4012] all the things [3956] whereof [3739] I am accused [1458] of [5259] the Jews [2453]: 44 26 3 Especially [3122] because I know [1492] thee [4571] to be [5607] expert [1109] [5037] in all [3956] customs [1485] and [2532] questions [2213] which are among [2596] the Jews [2453]: wherefore [1352] I beseech [1189] thee [4675] to hear [191] me [3450] patiently [3116]. 44 26 4 My [3450] manner [3303] [3767] of life [981] from [1537] my youth [3503], which [3588] was [1096] at [575] the first [746] among [1722] mine [3450] own nation [1484] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414], know [2467] all [3956] the Jews [2453]; 44 26 5 Which knew [4267] me [3165] from the beginning [509], if [1437] they would [2309] testify [3140], that [3754] after [2596] the most straitest [196] sect [139] of our [2251] religion [2356] I lived [2198] a Pharisee [5330]. 44 26 6 And [2532] now [3568] I stand [2476] and am judged [2919] for [1909] the hope [1680] of the promise [1860] made [1096] of [5259] God [2316] unto [4314] our fathers [3962]: 44 26 7 Unto [1519] which [3739] promise our [2257] twelve tribes [1429], instantly [1722] [1616] serving [3000] God day [2250] and [2532] night [3571], hope [1679] to come [2658]. For [4012] which [3739] hope's sake [1680], king [935] Agrippa [67], I am accused [1458] of [5259] the Jews [2453]. 44 26 8 Why [5101] should it be thought a thing [2919] incredible [571] with [3844] you [5213], that [1487] God [2316] should raise [1453] the dead [3498]? 44 26 9 I [1473] verily [3303] [3767] thought [1380] with myself [1683], that I ought [1163] to do [4238] many things [4183] contrary [1727] to [4314] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. 44 26 10 Which thing [3739] I [4160] also [2532] did [4160] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] many [4183] of the saints [40] did [2623] I [1473] shut up [2623] in prison [5438], having received [2983] authority [1849] from [3844] the chief priests [749]; and [5037] when they [846] were put to death [337], I gave [2702] my voice [5586] against them. 44 26 11 And [2532] I punished [5097] them [846] oft [4178] in [2596] every [3956] synagogue [4864], and compelled [315] them to blaspheme [987]; and [5037] being [1693] exceedingly [4057] mad against [1693] them [846], I persecuted [1377] them even [2532] unto [1519] [2193] strange [1854] cities [4172]. 44 26 12 [2532] Whereupon [1722] [3739] as I went [4198] to [1519] Damascus [1154] with [3326] authority [1849] and [2532] commission [2011] from [3844] the chief priests [749], 44 26 13 At midday [2250] [3319], O king [935], I saw [1492] in [2596] the way [3598] a light [5457] from heaven [3771], above [5228] the brightness [2987] of the sun [2246], shining round about [4034] me [3165] and [2532] them which journeyed [4198] with [4862] me [1698]. 44 26 14 And [1161] when we [2257] were [2667] all [3956] fallen [2667] to [1519] the earth [1093], I heard [191] a voice [5456] speaking [2980] unto [4314] me [3165], and [2532] saying [3004] in the Hebrew [1446] tongue [1258], Saul [4549], Saul [4549], why [5101] persecutest thou [1377] me [3165]? it is hard [4642] for thee [4671] to kick [2979] against [4314] the pricks [2759]. 44 26 15 And [1161] I [1473] said [2036], Who [5101] art thou [1488], Lord [2962]? And [1161] he said [2036], I [1473] am [1510] Jesus [2424] whom [3739] thou [4771] persecutest [1377]. 44 26 16 But [235] rise [450], and [2532] stand [2476] upon [1909] thy [4675] feet [4228]: for [1063] I have appeared [3700] unto thee [4671] for [1519] this purpose [5124], to make [4400] thee [4571] a minister [5257] and [2532] a witness [3144] both [5037] of these things which [3739] thou hast seen [1492], and [5037] of those things in the which [3739] I will appear [3700] unto thee [4671]; 44 26 17 Delivering [1807] thee [4571] from [1537] the people [2992], and [2532] from the Gentiles [1484], unto [1519] whom [3739] now [3568] I send [649] thee [4571], 44 26 18 To open [455] their [846] eyes [3788], and to turn [1994] them from [575] darkness [4655] to [1519] light [5457], and [2532] from the power [1849] of Satan [4567] unto [1909] God [2316], that they [846] may receive [2983] forgiveness [859] of sins [266], and [2532] inheritance [2819] among [1722] them which are sanctified [37] by faith [4102] that is in [1519] me [1691]. 44 26 19 Whereupon [3606], O king [935] Agrippa [67], I was [1096] not [3756] disobedient [545] unto the heavenly [3770] vision [3701]: 44 26 20 But [235] shewed [518] [518] first [4412] unto them of [1722] Damascus [1154], and [2532] at Jerusalem [2414], and [5037] throughout [1519] all [3956] the coasts [5561] of Judaea [2449], and [2532] then to the Gentiles [1484], that they should repent [3340] and [2532] turn [1994] to [1909] God [2316], and do [4238] works [2041] meet [514] for repentance [3341]. 44 26 21 For [1752] these causes [5130] the Jews [2453] caught [4815] me [3165] in [1722] the temple [2411], and went about [3987] to kill [1315] me. 44 26 22 Having [5177] therefore [3767] obtained [5177] help [1947] of [3844] God [2316], I continue [2476] unto [891] this [5026] day [2250], witnessing [3140] both [5037] to small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], saying [3004] none other things [3762] than [1622] those which [3739] [5037] the prophets [4396] and [2532] Moses [3475] did say [2980] should [3195] come [1096]: 44 26 23 That [1487] Christ [5547] should suffer [3805], and that [1487] he should be the first [4413] that should rise [386] from [1537] the dead [3498], and should [3195] shew [2605] light [5457] unto the people [2992], and [2532] to the Gentiles [1484]. 44 26 24 And [1161] as he [846] thus [5023] spake for himself [626], Festus [5347] said [5346] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Paul [3972], thou art beside thyself [3105]; much [4183] learning [1121] doth make [4062] thee [4571] mad [1519] [3130]. 44 26 25 But [1161] he said [5346], I am [3105] not [3756] mad [3105], most noble [2903] Festus [5347]; but [235] speak forth [669] the words [4487] of truth [225] and [2532] soberness [4997]. 44 26 26 For [1063] the king [935] knoweth [1987] of [4012] these [5130] things, before [4314] whom [3739] also [2532] I speak [2980] freely [3955]: for [1063] I am persuaded [3982] that [3756] none [5100] [3762] of these things [5130] are hidden [2990] from him [846]; for [1063] this thing [5124] was [2076] not [3756] done [4238] in [1722] a corner [1137]. 44 26 27 King [935] Agrippa [67], believest thou [4100] the prophets [4396]? I know [1492] that [3754] thou believest [4100]. 44 26 28 Then [1161] Agrippa [67] said [5346] unto [4314] Paul [3972], Almost [1722] [3641] thou persuadest [3982] me [3165] to be [1096] a Christian [5546]. 44 26 29 And [1161] Paul [3972] said [2036], I would [302] [2172] to God [2316], that not [3756] only [3440] thou [4571], but [235] also [2532] all [3956] that hear [191] me [3450] this day [4594], were [1096] both [2532] almost [1722] [3641], and [2532] altogether [1722] [4183] such [5108] as [3697] [2504] I am [1510], except [3924] these [5130] bonds [1199]. 44 26 30 And [2532] when he [846] had [2036] thus [5023] spoken [2036], the king [935] rose up [450], and [2532] the governor [2232], and [5037] Bernice [959], and [2532] they that sat with [4775] them [846]: 44 26 31 And [2532] when they were gone aside [402], they talked [2980] between [4314] themselves [240], saying [3004], [3754] This [3778] man [444] doeth [4238] nothing [3762] worthy [514] of death [2288] or [2228] of bonds [1199]. 44 26 32 Then [1161] said [5346] Agrippa [67] unto Festus [5347], This [3778] man [444] might [1410] have been set at liberty [630], if [1508] he had [1941] not [1508] appealed unto [1941] Caesar [2541]. 44 27 1 And [1161] when [5613] it was determined [2919] that we [2248] should sail [636] into [1519] Italy [2482], they delivered [3860] [5037] Paul [3972] and [2532] certain [5100] other [2087] prisoners [1202] unto one named [3686] Julius [2457], a centurion [1543] of Augustus [4575]' band [4686]. 44 27 2 And [1161] entering [1910] into a ship [4143] of Adramyttium [98], we launched [321], meaning [3195] to sail [4126] by [2596] the coasts [5117] of Asia [773]; one Aristarchus [708], a Macedonian [3110] of Thessalonica [2331], being [5607] with [4862] us [2254]. 44 27 3 And [5037] the next [2087] day we touched [2609] at [1519] Sidon [4605]. And [5037] Julius [2457] courteously [5364] entreated [5530] Paul [3972], and gave him liberty [2010] to go [4198] unto [4314] his friends [5384] to refresh himself [5177] [1958]. 44 27 4 And [2547] when we had launched [321] from thence [2547], we sailed under [5284] Cyprus [2954], because [1223] the winds [417] were [1511] contrary [1727]. 44 27 5 And [5037] when we had sailed over [1277] the sea [3989] of [2596] Cilicia [2791] and [2532] Pamphylia [3828], we came [2718] to [1519] Myra [3460], a city of Lycia [3073]. 44 27 6 And there [2546] the centurion [1543] found [2147] a ship [4143] of Alexandria [222] sailing [4126] into [1519] Italy [2482]; and he put [1688] us [2248] therein [1519] [846]. 44 27 7 And [1161] when we had sailed slowly [1020] [1722] many [2425] days [2250], and [2532] scarce [3433] were come [1096] over against [2596] Cnidus [2834], the wind [417] not [3361] suffering [4330] us [2248], we sailed under [5284] Crete [2914], over against [2596] Salmone [4534]; 44 27 8 And [5037], hardly [3433] passing [3881] it [846], came [2064] unto [1519] a [5100] place [5117] which is called [2564] The fair [2570] havens [2568] [3040]; nigh [1451] whereunto [3739] was [2258] the city [4172] of Lasea [2996]. 44 27 9 Now [1161] when much [2425] time [5550] was spent [1230], and [2532] when sailing [4144] was [5607] now [2235] dangerous [2000], because [1223] the fast [3521] was [3928] now [2532] already [2235] past [3928], Paul [3972] admonished [3867] them, 44 27 10 And said [3004] unto them [846], Sirs [435], I perceive [2334] that [3754] this voyage [4144] will be [3195] [1510] with [3326] hurt [5196] and [2532] much [4183] damage [2209], not [3756] only [3440] of the lading [5414] and [2532] ship [4143], but [235] also [2532] of our [2257] lives [5590]. 44 27 11 Nevertheless [1161] the centurion [1543] believed [3982] the master [2942] and [2532] the owner of the ship [3490], more [3123] than [2228] those things which were spoken [3004] by [5259] Paul [3972]. 44 27 12 And [1161] because [5225] the haven [3040] was [5225] not commodious [428] to [4314] winter in [3915], the more part [4119] advised [1012] [5087] to depart [321] thence also [2547], if [1513] by any means [4458] they might [1410] attain [2658] to [1519] Phenice [5405], and there to winter [3914]; which is an haven [3040] of Crete [2914], and lieth [991] toward [2596] the south west [3047] and [2532] [2596] north west [5566]. 44 27 13 And [1161] when the south wind [3558] blew softly [5285], supposing [1380] that they had obtained [2902] their purpose [4286], loosing [142] thence, they sailed [3881] close by [788] Crete [2914]. 44 27 14 But [1161] not [3756] long [4183] after [3326] there arose [906] against [2596] it [846] a tempestuous [5189] wind [417], called [2564] Euroclydon [2148]. 44 27 15 And [1161] when the ship [4143] was caught [4884], and [2532] could [1410] not [3361] bear up into [503] the wind [417], we let her drive [1929] [5342]. 44 27 16 And [1161] running under [5295] a certain [5100] island [3519] which is called [2564] Clauda [2802], we had [2480] much [3433] work [2480] to come by [4031] [1096] the boat [4627]: 44 27 17 Which [3739] when they had taken up [142], they used [5530] helps [996], undergirding [5269] the ship [4143]; and [5037], fearing [5399] lest [3361] they should fall [1601] into [1519] the quicksands [4950], strake [5465] sail [4632], and so [3779] were driven [5342]. 44 27 18 And [1161] we [2257] being exceedingly [4971] tossed with a tempest [5492], the next [1836] day they lightened the ship [1546] [4160]; 44 27 19 And [2532] the third [5154] day we cast out [4496] with our own hands [849] the tackling [4631] of the ship [4143]. 44 27 20 And [1161] when neither [3383] sun [2246] nor [3383] stars [798] in [1909] many [4119] days [2250] appeared [2014], and [5037] no [3756] small [3641] tempest [5494] lay on [1945] us, all [3956] hope [1680] that we [2248] should be saved [4982] was [4014] then [3063] taken away [4014]. 44 27 21 But [1161] after [5225] long [4183] abstinence [776] [5119] Paul [3972] stood forth [2476] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846], and said [2036], Sirs [5599] [435], ye should [1163] [3303] have hearkened [3980] unto me [3427], and not [3361] have loosed [321] from [575] Crete [2914], and [5037] to have gained [2770] this [5026] harm [5196] and [2532] loss [2209]. 44 27 22 And [2532] now [3569] I exhort [3867] you [5209] to be of good cheer [2114]: for [1063] there shall be [2071] no [3762] loss [580] of any man's life [5590] among [1537] you [5216], but [4133] of the ship [4143]. 44 27 23 For [1063] there stood by [3936] me [3427] this [5026] night [3571] the angel [32] of God [2316], whose [3739] I am [1510], and [2532] whom [3739] I serve [3000], 44 27 24 Saying [3004], Fear [5399] not [3361], Paul [3972]; thou [4571] must [1163] be brought before [3936] Caesar [2541]: and [2532], lo [2400], God [2316] hath given [5483] thee [4671] all [3956] them that sail [4126] with [3326] thee [4675]. 44 27 25 Wherefore [1352], sirs [435], be of good cheer [2114]: for [1063] I believe [4100] God [2316], that [3754] it [3779] shall be [2071] even [2596] [3739] as [5158] it was told [2980] me [3427]. 44 27 26 Howbeit [1161] we [2248] must [1163] be cast [1601] upon [1519] a certain [5100] island [3520]. 44 27 27 But [1161] when [5613] the fourteenth [5065] night [3571] was come [1096], as we [2257] were driven up and down [1308] in [1722] Adria [99], about [2596] midnight [3319] [3571] the shipmen [3492] deemed [5282] that they [846] drew near [4317] to some [5100] country [5561]; 44 27 28 And [2532] sounded [1001], and found [2147] it twenty [1501] fathoms [3712]: and [1161] when they had gone [1339] a little further [1024], they sounded [1001] again [3825], and [2532] found [2147] it fifteen [1178] fathoms [3712]. 44 27 29 Then [5037] fearing [5399] lest [3381] [4458] we should have fallen [1601] [1601] upon [1519] rocks [5117] [5138], they cast [4496] four [5064] anchors [45] out of [1537] the stern [4403], and wished [2172] [1096] for the day [2250]. 44 27 30 And [1161] as the shipmen [3492] were about [2212] to flee [5343] out of [1537] the ship [4143], when [2532] they had let down [5465] the boat [4627] into [1519] the sea [2281], under colour [4392] as though [5613] they would [3195] have cast [1614] anchors [45] out of [1537] the foreship [4408], 44 27 31 Paul [3972] said [2036] to the centurion [1543] and [2532] to the soldiers [4757], Except [3362] these [3778] abide [3306] in [1722] the ship [4143], ye [5210] cannot [3756] [1410] be saved [4982]. 44 27 32 Then [5119] the soldiers [4757] cut off [609] the ropes [4979] of the boat [4627], and [2532] let [1439] her [846] fall off [1601]. 44 27 33 And [1161] while [891] [3739] the day [2250] was coming [1096] on [3195], Paul [3972] besought [3870] them all [537] to take [3335] meat [5160], saying [3004], This day [4594] is the fourteenth [5065] day [2250] that ye have tarried [4328] and continued [1300] fasting [777], having taken [4355] nothing [3367]. 44 27 34 Wherefore [1352] I pray [3870] you [5209] to take [4355] some meat [5160]: for [1063] this [5124] is [5225] for [4314] your [5212] health [4991]: for [1063] there shall [4098] not [3762] an hair [2359] fall [4098] from [1537] the head [2776] of any [3762] of you [5216]. 44 27 35 And [1161] when he had thus [5023] spoken [2036], [2532] he took [2983] bread [740], and gave thanks [2168] to God [2316] in presence [1799] of them all [3956]: and [2532] when he had broken [2806] it, he began [756] to eat [2068]. 44 27 36 Then [1161] were [1096] they [846] [1096] all [3956] of good cheer [2115], and they [4355] also [2532] took [4355] some meat [5160]. 44 27 37 And [1161] we were [2258] in all [3956] in [1722] the ship [4143] two hundred [1250] threescore [1440] and sixteen [1803] souls [5590]. 44 27 38 And [1161] when they had eaten [5160] enough [2880], they lightened [2893] the ship [4143], and cast out [1544] the wheat [4621] into [1519] the sea [2281]. 44 27 39 And [1161] when [3753] it was [1096] day [2250], they knew [1921] not [3756] the land [1093]: but [1161] they discovered [2657] a certain [5100] creek [2859] with [2192] a shore [123], into [1519] the which [3739] they were minded [1011], if [1487] it were possible [1410], to thrust in [1856] the ship [4143]. 44 27 40 And [2532] when they had taken up [4014] the anchors [45], they committed [1439] themselves unto [1519] the sea [2281], and [260] loosed [447] the rudder [4079] bands [2202], and [2532] hoised up [1869] the mainsail [736] to the wind [4154], and made [2722] toward [1519] shore [123]. 44 27 41 And [1161] falling [4045] into [1519] a place [5117] where two seas met [1337], they ran [2027] the ship [3491] aground [2027]; and [2532] the forepart [4408] [3303] stuck fast [2043], and remained [3306] unmoveable [761], but [1161] the hinder part [4403] was broken [3089] with [5259] the violence [970] of the waves [2949]. 44 27 42 And [1161] the soldiers [4757]' counsel [1012] was [1096] to [2443] kill [615] the prisoners [1202], lest [3361] any of them [5100] should swim out [1579], and escape [1309]. 44 27 43 But [1161] the centurion [1543], willing [1014] to save [1295] Paul [3972], kept [2967] them [846] from their purpose [1013]; and [5037] commanded [2753] that they which could [1410] swim [2860] should cast [641] themselves first [4413] into the sea, and get [1826] to [1909] land [1093]: 44 27 44 And [2532] the rest [3062], some [3739] [3303] on [1909] boards [4548], and [1161] some [3739] on [1909] broken pieces of [575] the ship [4143] [5100]. And [2532] so [3779] it came to pass [1096], that they escaped [1295] all [3956] safe [1295] to [1909] land [1093]. 44 28 1 And [2532] when they were escaped [1295], then [5119] they knew [1921] that [3754] the island [3520] was called [2564] Melita [3194]. 44 28 2 And [1161] the barbarous people [915] shewed [3930] us [2254] no [3756] little [5177] kindness [5363]: for [1063] they kindled [381] a fire [4443], and received [4355] us [2248] every one [3956], because [1223] of the present [2186] rain [5205], and [2532] because [1223] of the cold [5592]. 44 28 3 And [1161] when Paul [3972] had gathered [4962] a bundle [4128] of sticks [5434], and [2532] laid [2007] them on [1909] the fire [4443], there came [1831] a viper [2191] out of [1537] the heat [2329], and fastened on [2510] his [846] hand [5495]. 44 28 4 And [1161] when [5613] the barbarians [915] saw [1492] the venomous beast [2342] hang [2910] on [1537] his [846] hand [5495], they said [3004] among [4314] themselves [240], No doubt [3843] this [3778] man [444] is [2076] a murderer [5406], whom [3739], though he hath escaped [1295] [1537] the sea [2281], yet vengeance [1349] suffereth [1439] not [3756] to live [2198]. 44 28 5 And [3303] [3767] he shook off [660] the beast [2342] into [1519] the fire [4442], and felt [3958] no [3762] harm [2556]. 44 28 6 Howbeit [1161] they looked [4328] when he [846] should [3195] have swollen [4092], or [2228] fallen down [2667] dead [3498] suddenly [869]: but [1161] after they [846] had looked [4328] a great while [1909] [4183], and [2532] saw [2334] no [3367] harm [824] come [1096] to [1519] him [846], they changed their minds [3328], and said [3004] that he [846] was [1511] a god [2316]. 44 28 7 [1161] In [1722] [4012] the same [1565] quarters [5117] were [5225] possessions [5564] of the chief man [4413] of the island [3520], whose name was [3686] Publius [4196]; who [3739] received [324] us [2248], and lodged us [3579] three [5140] days [2250] courteously [5390]. 44 28 8 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that the father [3962] of Publius [4196] lay [2621] sick of [4912] a fever [4446] and [2532] of a bloody flux [1420]: to [4314] whom [3739] Paul [3972] entered in [1525], and [2532] prayed [4336], and laid [2007] his hands [5495] on [2007] him [846], and healed [2390] him [846]. 44 28 9 So [3767] when [1096] this [5127] was done [1096], others [3062] also [2532], which [3588] had [2192] diseases [769] in [1722] the island [3520], came [4334], and [2532] were healed [2323]: 44 28 10 Who [3739] also [2532] honoured [5092] us [2248] with many [4183] honours [5091]; and [2532] when we departed [321], they laded [2007] us with such things as [4314] were necessary [5532]. 44 28 11 And [1161] after [3326] three [5140] months [3376] we departed [321] in [1722] a ship [4143] of Alexandria [222], which had wintered [3914] in [1722] the isle [3520], whose sign [3902] was Castor and Pollux [1359]. 44 28 12 And [2532] landing [2609] at [1519] Syracuse [4946], we tarried [1961] there three [5140] days [2250]. 44 28 13 And from thence [3606] we fetched a compass [4022], and came [2658] to [1519] Rhegium [4484]: and [2532] after [3326] one [3391] day [2250] the south wind [3558] blew [1920], and we came [2064] the next day [1206] to [1519] Puteoli [4223]: 44 28 14 Where [3757] we found [2147] brethren [80], and were desired [3870] to tarry [1961] with [1909] them [846] seven [2033] days [2250]: and [2532] so [3779] we went [2064] toward [1519] Rome [4516]. 44 28 15 And from thence [2547], when the brethren [80] heard [191] of [4012] us [2257], they came [1831] to meet [529] [1519] us [2254] as far as [891] Appii [675] forum [5410], and [2532] The three [5140] taverns [4999]: whom [3739] when Paul [3972] saw [1492], he thanked [2168] God [2316], and took [2983] courage [2294]. 44 28 16 And [1161] when [3753] we came [2064] to [1519] Rome [4516], the centurion [1543] delivered [3860] the prisoners [1198] to the captain of the guard [4759]: but [1161] Paul [3972] was suffered [2010] to dwell [3306] by [2596] himself [1438] with [4862] a soldier [4757] that kept [5442] him [846]. 44 28 17 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] Paul [3972] called [4779] the chief [4413] [5607] of the Jews [2453] together [4779]: and [1161] when they [846] were come together [4905], he said [3004] unto [4314] them [846], Men [435] and brethren [80], though I [1473] have committed [4160] nothing [3762] against [1727] the people [2992], or [2228] customs [1485] of our fathers [3971], yet was I delivered [3860] prisoner [1198] from [1537] Jerusalem [2414] into [1519] the hands [5495] of the Romans [4514]. 44 28 18 Who [3748], when they had examined [350] me [3165], would [1014] have let me go [630], because [1223] there was [5225] no [3367] cause [156] of death [2288] in [1722] me [1698]. 44 28 19 But [1161] when the Jews [2453] spake against [483] it, I was constrained [315] to appeal [1941] unto Caesar [2541]; not [3756] that [5613] I had [2192] ought [5100] to accuse [2723] my [3450] nation [1484] of [2723]. 44 28 20 For [1223] this [5026] cause [156] therefore [3767] have I called [3870] for you [5209], to see [1492] you, and [2532] to speak with [4354] you: because that [1752] for [1063] the hope [1680] of Israel [2474] I am bound with [4029] this [5026] chain [254]. 44 28 21 And [1161] they said [2036] unto [4314] him [846], We [2249] neither [3777] received [1209] letters [1121] out of [575] Judaea [2449] concerning [4012] thee [4675], neither [3777] any [5100] of the brethren [80] that came [3854] shewed [518] or [2228] spake [2980] any [5100] harm [4190] of [4012] thee [4675]. 44 28 22 But [1161] we desire [515] to hear [191] of [3844] thee [4675] what [3739] thou thinkest [5426]: for [1063] as concerning [4012] [3303] this [5026] sect [139], we [2254] know [2076] [1110] that [3754] every where [3837] it is spoken against [483]. 44 28 23 And [1161] when they had appointed [5021] him [846] a day [2250], there came [2240] many [4119] to [4314] him [846] into [1519] his lodging [3578]; to whom [3739] he expounded [1620] and testified [1263] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], [5037] persuading [3982] them [846] concerning [4012] Jesus [2424], both [5037] out of [575] the law [3551] of Moses [3475], and [2532] out of the prophets [4396], from [575] morning [4404] till [2193] evening [2073]. 44 28 24 And [2532] some [3303] believed [3982] the things which were spoken [3004], and [1161] some believed not [569]. 44 28 25 And [1161] when they agreed not [800] [5607] among [4314] themselves [240], they departed [630], after that Paul [3972] had spoken [2036] one [1520] word [4487], [3754] Well [2573] spake [2980] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] by [1223] Esaias [2268] the prophet [4396] unto [4314] our [2257] fathers [3962], 44 28 26 Saying [3004], Go [4198] unto [4314] this [5126] people [2992], and [2532] say [2036], Hearing [189] ye shall hear [191], and [2532] shall [4920] not [3364] understand [4920]; and [2532] seeing [991] ye shall see [991], and [2532] not [3364] perceive [1492]: 44 28 27 For [1063] the heart [2588] of this [5127] people [2992] is waxed gross [3975], and [2532] their ears [3775] are dull [917] of hearing [191], and [2532] their [846] eyes [3788] have they closed [2576]; lest [3379] they should see [1492] with their eyes [3788], and [2532] hear [191] with their ears [3775], and [2532] understand [4920] with their heart [2588], and [2532] should be converted [1994], and [2532] I should heal [2390] them [846]. 44 28 28 Be it [2077] known [1110] therefore [3767] unto you [5213], that [3754] the salvation [4992] of God [2316] is sent [649] unto the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] that they will hear [191] it [846]. 44 28 29 And [2532] when he [846] had said [2036] these words [5023], the Jews [2453] departed [565], and had [2192] great [4183] reasoning [4803] among [1722] themselves [1438]. 44 28 30 And [1161] Paul [3972] dwelt [3306] two [1333] whole [3650] years [1333] in [1722] his own [2398] hired house [3410], and [2532] received [588] all [3956] that came in [1531] unto [4314] him [846], 44 28 31 Preaching [2784] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] teaching [1321] those things which concern [4012] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], with [3326] all [3956] confidence [3954], no man forbidding him [209]. 45 1 1 Paul [3972], a servant [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], called [2822] to be an apostle [652], separated [873] unto [1519] the gospel [2098] of God [2316], 45 1 2 (Which [3739] he had promised afore [4279] by [1223] his [846] prophets [4396] in [1722] the holy [40] scriptures [1124],) 45 1 3 Concerning [4012] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962], which [3588] was made [1096] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138] according [2596] to the flesh [4561]; 45 1 4 And declared [3724] to be the Son [5207] of God [2316] with [1722] power [1411], according [2596] to the spirit [4151] of holiness [42], by [1537] the resurrection [386] from the dead [3498]: 45 1 5 By [1223] whom [3739] we have received [2983] grace [5485] and [2532] apostleship [651], for [1519] obedience [5218] to the faith [4102] among [1722] all [3956] nations [1484], for [5228] his [846] name [3686]: 45 1 6 Among [1722] whom [3739] are [2075] ye [5210] also [2532] the called [2822] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 45 1 7 To all [3956] that be [5607] in [1722] Rome [4516], beloved [27] of God [2316], called [2822] to be saints [40]: Grace [5485] to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 45 1 8 First [4412] [3303], I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956], that [3754] your [5216] faith [4102] is spoken [2605] of throughout [1722] the whole [3650] world [2889]. 45 1 9 For [1063] God [2316] is [2076] my [3450] witness [3144], whom [3739] I serve [3000] with [1722] my [3450] spirit [4151] in [1722] the gospel [2098] of his [846] Son [5207], that [5613] without ceasing [89] I make [4160] mention [3417] of you [5216] always [3842] in [1909] my [3450] prayers [4335]; 45 1 10 Making request [1189], if by any means [1513] now [2235] at length [4218] I might have a prosperous journey [2137] by [1722] the will [2307] of God [2316] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209]. 45 1 11 For [1063] I long [1971] to see [1492] you [5209], that [2443] I may impart [3330] unto you [5213] some [5100] spiritual [4152] gift [5486], to the end [1519] ye [5209] may be established [4741]; 45 1 12 That [1161] [5124] is [2076], that I may be comforted together [4837] with [1722] you [5213] by [1223] [1722] the mutual [240] faith [4102] both [5037] of you [5216] and [2532] me [1700]. 45 1 13 Now [1161] I would [2309] not [3756] have [50] you [5209] ignorant [50], brethren [80], that [3754] oftentimes [4178] I purposed [4388] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], (but [2532] was let [2967] hitherto [891] [1204],) that [2443] I might have [2192] some [5100] fruit [2590] among [1722] you [5213] also [2532], even as [2531] [2532] among [1722] other [3062] Gentiles [1484]. 45 1 14 I am [1510] debtor [3781] both [5037] to the Greeks [1672], and [2532] to the Barbarians [915]; both [5037] to the wise [4680], and [2532] to the unwise [453]. 45 1 15 So [3779], as much as [2596] in me is [1691], I am ready [4289] to preach the gospel [2097] to you [5213] that are at [1722] Rome [4516] also [2532]. 45 1 16 For [1063] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: for [1063] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316] unto [1519] salvation [4991] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]; to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Greek [1672]. 45 1 17 For [1063] therein [1722] [846] is [601] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] revealed [601] from [1537] faith [4102] to [1519] faith [4102]: as [2531] it is written [1125], [1161] The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102]. 45 1 18 For [1063] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] is revealed [601] from [575] heaven [3772] against [1909] all [3956] ungodliness [763] and [2532] unrighteousness [93] of men [444], who hold [2722] the truth [225] in [1722] unrighteousness [93]; 45 1 19 Because [1360] that which may be known [1110] of God [2316] is [2076] manifest [5318] in [1722] them [846]; for [1063] God [2316] hath shewed [5319] it unto them [846]. 45 1 20 For [1063] the invisible things [517] of him [846] from [575] the creation [2937] of the world [2889] are clearly seen [2529], being understood [3539] by the things that are made [4161], even [5037] his [846] eternal [126] power [1411] and [2532] Godhead [2305]; so [1519] that they [846] are [1511] without excuse [379]: 45 1 21 Because [1360] that, when they knew [1097] God [2316], they glorified [1392] him not [3756] as [5613] God [2316], neither [2228] were thankful [2168]; but [235] became vain [3154] in [1722] their [846] imaginations [1261], and [2532] their [846] foolish [801] heart [2588] was darkened [4654]. 45 1 22 Professing themselves [5335] to be [1511] wise [4680], they became fools [3471], 45 1 23 And [2532] changed [236] the glory [1391] of the uncorruptible [862] God [2316] into [1722] an image [1504] made like [3667] to corruptible [5349] man [444], and [2532] to birds [4071], and [2532] fourfooted beasts [5074], and [2532] creeping things [2062]. 45 1 24 Wherefore [1352] God [2316] also [2532] gave [3860] them [846] up [3860] to [1519] uncleanness [167] through [1722] the lusts [1939] of their own [846] hearts [2588], to dishonour [818] their own [846] bodies [4983] between [1722] themselves [1438]: 45 1 25 Who [3748] changed [3337] the truth [225] of God [2316] into [1722] a lie [5579], and [2532] worshipped [4573] and [2532] served [3000] the creature [2937] more than [3844] the Creator [2936], who [3739] is [2076] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281]. 45 1 26 For [1223] this [5124] cause God [2316] gave [3860] them [846] up [3860] unto [1519] vile [819] affections [3806]: for [1063] even [5037] their [846] women [2338] did change [3337] the natural [5446] use [5540] into [1519] that which is against [3844] nature [5449]: 45 1 27 And [5037] likewise [3668] also [2532] the men [730], leaving [863] the natural [5446] use [5540] of the woman [2338], burned [1572] in [1722] their [846] lust [3715] one toward another [1519] [240]; men [730] with [1722] men [730] working [2716] that which is unseemly [808], and [2532] receiving [618] in [1722] themselves [1438] that recompence [489] of their [846] error [4106] which [3739] was meet [1163]. 45 1 28 And [2532] even as [2531] they did [1381] not [3756] like [1381] to retain [2192] God [2316] in [1722] their knowledge [1922], God [2316] gave [3860] them [846] over [3860] to [1519] a reprobate [96] mind [3563], to do [4160] those things which are [2520] not [3361] convenient [2520]; 45 1 29 Being filled with [4137] all [3956] unrighteousness [93], fornication [4202], wickedness [4189], covetousness [4124], maliciousness [2549]; full [3324] of envy [5355], murder [5408], debate [2054], deceit [1388], malignity [2550]; whisperers [5588], 45 1 30 Backbiters [2637], haters of God [2319], despiteful [5197], proud [5244], boasters [213], inventors [2182] of evil things [2556], disobedient [545] to parents [1118], 45 1 31 Without understanding [801], covenantbreakers [802], without natural affection [794], implacable [786], unmerciful [415]: 45 1 32 Who [3748] knowing [1921] the judgment [1345] of God [2316], that [3754] they which commit [4238] such things [5108] are [1526] worthy [514] of death [2288], not [3756] only [3440] do [4160] the same [846], but [235] [2532] have pleasure [4909] in them that do [4238] them. 45 2 1 Therefore [1352] thou art [1488] inexcusable [379], O [5599] man [444], whosoever [3956] thou art that judgest [2919]: for [1063] wherein [1722] [3739] thou judgest [2919] another [2087], thou condemnest [2632] thyself [4572]; for [1063] thou that judgest [2919] doest [4238] the same things [846]. 45 2 2 But [1161] we are sure [1492] that [3754] the judgment [2917] of God [2316] is [2076] according [2596] to truth [225] against [1909] them which commit [4238] such things [5108]. 45 2 3 And [1161] thinkest thou [3049] this [5124], O [5599] man [444], that judgest [2919] them which do [4238] such things [5108], and [2532] doest [4160] the same [846], that [3754] thou [4771] shalt escape [1628] the judgment [2917] of God [2316]? 45 2 4 Or [2228] despisest thou [2706] the riches [4149] of his [846] goodness [5544] and [2532] forbearance [463] and [2532] longsuffering [3115]; not knowing [50] that [3754] the goodness [5543] of God [2316] leadeth [71] thee [4571] to [1519] repentance [3341]? 45 2 5 But [1161] after [2596] thy [4675] hardness [4643] and [2532] impenitent [279] heart [2588] treasurest up [2343] unto thyself [4572] wrath [3709] against [1722] the day [2250] of wrath [3709] and [2532] revelation [602] of the righteous judgment [1341] of God [2316]; 45 2 6 Who [3739] will render [591] to every man [1538] according [2596] to his [846] deeds [2041]: 45 2 7 To them who by [3303] [2596] patient continuance [5281] in well [18] doing [2041] seek [2212] for glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] immortality [861], eternal [166] life [2222]: 45 2 8 But [1161] unto them that are contentious [1537] [2052], and [2532] do not obey [544] [3303] the truth [225], but [1161] obey [3982] unrighteousness [93], indignation [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709], 45 2 9 Tribulation [2347] and [2532] anguish [4730], upon [1909] every [3956] soul [5590] of man [444] that doeth [2716] evil [2556], of the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] of the Gentile [1672]; 45 2 10 But [1161] [2532] glory [1391], honour [5092], and [2532] peace [1515], to every man [3956] that worketh [2038] good [18], to the Jew [2453] first [4412], and [5037] also [2532] to the Gentile [1672]: 45 2 11 For [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] respect of persons [4382] with [3844] God [2316]. 45 2 12 For [1063] as many as [3745] have sinned [264] without law [460] shall [622] also [2532] perish [622] without law [460]: and [2532] as many as [3745] have sinned [264] in [1722] the law [3551] shall be judged [2919] by [1223] the law [3551]; 45 2 13 (For [1063] not [3756] the hearers [202] of the law [3551] are just [1342] before [3844] God [2316], but [235] the doers [4163] of the law [3551] shall be justified [1344]. 45 2 14 For [1063] when [3752] the Gentiles [1484], which [3588] have [2192] not [3361] the law [3551], do [4160] by nature [5449] the things [3588] contained in the law [3551], these [3778], having [2192] not [3361] the law [3551], are [1526] a law [3551] unto themselves [1438]: 45 2 15 Which [3748] shew [1731] the work [2041] of the law [3551] written [1123] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588], their [846] conscience [4893] also bearing witness [4828], and [2532] their thoughts [3053] the mean while accusing [2723] or [2228] else [2532] excusing [626] one another [3342] [240];) 45 2 16 In [1722] the day [2250] when [3753] God [2316] shall judge [2919] the secrets [2927] of men [444] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] according [2596] to my [3450] gospel [2098]. 45 2 17 Behold [2396], thou [4771] art called [2028] a Jew [2453], and [2532] restest [1879] in the law [3551], and [2532] makest thy boast [2744] of [1722] God [2316], 45 2 18 And [2532] knowest [1097] his will [2307], and [2532] approvest [1381] the things that are more excellent [1308], being instructed [2727] out of [1537] the law [3551]; 45 2 19 And [5037] art confident [3982] that thou thyself [4572] art [1511] a guide [3595] of the blind [5185], a light [5457] of them which are in [1722] darkness [4655], 45 2 20 An instructor [3810] of the foolish [878], a teacher [1320] of babes [3516], which hast [2192] the form [3446] of knowledge [1108] and [2532] of the truth [225] in [1722] the law [3551]. 45 2 21 Thou therefore [3767] which [3588] teachest [1321] another [2087], teachest thou [1321] not [3756] thyself [4572]? thou that preachest [2784] a man should [2813] not [3361] steal [2813], dost thou steal [2813]? 45 2 22 Thou that sayest [3004] a man should [3431] not [3361] commit adultery [3431], dost thou commit adultery [3431]? thou that abhorrest [948] idols [1497], dost thou commit sacrilege [2416]? 45 2 23 Thou [3739] that makest thy boast [2744] of [1722] the law [3551], through [1223] breaking [3847] the law [3551] dishonourest thou [818] God [2316]? 45 2 24 For [1063] the name [3686] of God [2316] is blasphemed [987] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484] through [1223] you [5209], as [2531] it is written [1125]. 45 2 25 For [1063] circumcision [4061] verily [3303] profiteth [5623], if [1437] thou keep [4238] the law [3551]: but [1161] if [1437] thou be [5600] a breaker [3848] of the law [3551], thy [4675] circumcision [4061] is made [1096] uncircumcision [203]. 45 2 26 Therefore [3767] if [1437] the uncircumcision [203] keep [5442] the righteousness [1345] of the law [3551], shall [3049] not [3780] his [846] uncircumcision [203] be counted [3049] for [1519] circumcision [4061]? 45 2 27 And [2532] shall not [2919] uncircumcision [203] which is by [1537] nature [5449], if it fulfil [5055] the law [3551], judge [2919] thee [4571], who by [1223] the letter [1121] and [2532] circumcision [4061] dost transgress [3848] the law [3551]? 45 2 28 For [1063] he is [2076] not [3756] a Jew [2453], which is one outwardly [1722] [5318]; neither [3761] is that circumcision [4061], which is outward [1722] [5318] in [1722] the flesh [4561]: 45 2 29 But [235] he is a Jew [2453], which is one inwardly [1722] [2927]; and [2532] circumcision [4061] is that of the heart [2588], in [1722] the spirit [4151], and not [3756] in the letter [1121]; whose [3739] praise [1868] is not [3756] of [1537] men [444], but [235] of [1537] God [2316]. 45 3 1 What [5101] advantage [4053] then [3767] hath the Jew [2453]? or [2228] what [5101] profit [5622] is there of circumcision [4061]? 45 3 2 Much [4183] every [2596] [3956] way [5158]: chiefly [4412], because [3303] [1063] that [3754] unto them were committed [4100] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]. 45 3 3 For [1063] what [5101] if [1487] some [5100] did not believe [569]? [3361] shall [2673] their [846] unbelief [570] make [2673] the faith [4102] of God [2316] without effect [2673]? 45 3 4 God forbid [3361] [1096]: yea [1161], let [1096] God [2316] be [1096] true [227], but [1161] every [3956] man [444] a liar [5583]; as [2531] it is written [1125], That [3704] thou mightest [302] be justified [1344] in [1722] thy [4675] sayings [3056], and [2532] mightest overcome [3528] when [1722] thou [4571] art judged [2919]. 45 3 5 But [1161] if [1487] our [2257] unrighteousness [93] commend [4921] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316], what [5101] shall we say [2046]? [3361] Is God [2316] unrighteous [94] who taketh [2018] vengeance [3709]? (I speak [3004] as [2596] a man [444]) 45 3 6 God forbid [3361] [1096]: for then [1893] how [4459] shall [2919] God [2316] judge [2919] the world [2889]? 45 3 7 For [1063] if [1487] the truth [225] of God [2316] hath more abounded [4052] through [1722] my [1699] lie [5582] unto [1519] his [846] glory [1391]; why [5101] yet [2089] am [2919] I also [2504] judged [2919] as [5613] a sinner [268]? 45 3 8 And [2532] not [3361] rather, (as [2531] we be slanderously reported [987], and [2532] as [2531] some [5100] affirm [5346] that we [2248] say [3004] [3754] Let us do [4160] evil [2556], that [2443] good [18] may come [2064]? whose [3739] damnation [2917] is [2076] just [1738]. 45 3 9 What [5101] then [3767]? are we better [4284] than they? No [3756], in no wise [3843]: for [1063] we have before proved [4256] both [5037] Jews [2453] and [2532] Gentiles [1672], that they are [1511] all [3956] under [5259] sin [266]; 45 3 10 As [2531] it is written [1125], [3754] There is [2076] none [3756] righteous [1342], no, not [3761] one [1520]: 45 3 11 There is [2076] none [3756] that understandeth [4920], there is [2076] none [3756] that seeketh after [1567] God [2316]. 45 3 12 They are [1578] all [3956] gone out of the way [1578], they are [889] together [260] become unprofitable [889]; there is [2076] none [3756] that doeth [4160] good [5544], no, not [3756] one [2076] [2193] [1520]. 45 3 13 Their [846] throat [2995] is an open [455] sepulchre [5028]; with their [846] tongues [1100] they have used deceit [1387]; the poison [2447] of asps [785] is under [5259] their [846] lips [5491]: 45 3 14 Whose [3739] mouth [4750] is full [1073] of cursing [685] and [2532] bitterness [4088]: 45 3 15 Their [846] feet [4228] are swift [3691] to shed [1632] blood [129]: 45 3 16 Destruction [4938] and [2532] misery [5004] are in [1722] their [846] ways [3598]: 45 3 17 And [2532] the way [3598] of peace [1515] have [1097] they not [3756] known [1097]: 45 3 18 There is [2076] no [3756] fear [5401] of God [2316] before [561] their [846] eyes [3788]. 45 3 19 Now [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] what things soever [3745] the law [3551] saith [3004], it saith [2980] to them who are under [1722] the law [3551]: that [2443] every [3956] mouth [4750] may be stopped [5420], and [2532] all [3956] the world [2889] may become [1096] guilty [5267] before God [2316]. 45 3 20 Therefore [1360] by [1537] the deeds [2041] of the law [3551] there shall [1344] no [3956] [3756] flesh [4561] be justified [1344] in his [846] sight [1799]: for [1063] by [1223] the law [3551] is the knowledge [1922] of sin [266]. 45 3 21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396]; 45 3 22 Even [1161] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] which is by [1223] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] all [3956] and [2532] upon [1909] all [3956] them that believe [4100]: for [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293]: 45 3 23 For [1063] all [3956] have sinned [264], and [2532] come short [5302] of the glory [1391] of God [2316]; 45 3 24 Being justified [1344] freely [1432] by his [846] grace [5485] through [1223] the redemption [629] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 45 3 25 Whom [3739] God [2316] hath set forth [4388] to be a propitiation [2435] through [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] his [846] blood [129], to [1519] declare [1732] his [846] righteousness [1343] for [1223] the remission [3929] of sins [265] that are past [4266], through [1722] the forbearance [463] of God [2316]; 45 3 26 To [4314] declare [1732], I say, at [1722] this [3568] time [2540] his [846] righteousness [1343]: that [1519] he might be [1511] just [1342], and [2532] the justifier [1344] of him [846] which believeth [4102] in [1537] Jesus [2424]. 45 3 27 Where [4226] is boasting [2746] then [3767]? It is excluded [1576]. By [1223] what [4169] law [3551]? of works [2041]? Nay [3780]: but [235] by [1223] the law [3551] of faith [4102]. 45 3 28 Therefore [3767] we conclude [3049] that a man [444] is justified [1344] by faith [4102] without [5565] the deeds [2041] of the law [3551]. 45 3 29 Is he [2228] the God [2316] of the Jews [2453] only [3440]? is he not [3780] also [1161] [2532] of the Gentiles [1484]? Yes [3483], of the Gentiles [1484] also [2532]: 45 3 30 Seeing [1897] it is one [1520] God [2316], which [3739] shall justify [1344] the circumcision [4061] by [1537] faith [4102], and [2532] uncircumcision [203] through [1223] faith [4102]. 45 3 31 Do we [2673] then [3767] make void [2673] the law [3551] through [1223] faith [4102]? God forbid [3361] [1096]: yea [235], we establish [2476] the law [3551]. 45 4 1 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767] that Abraham [11] our [2257] father [3962], as pertaining [2596] to the flesh [4561], hath found [2147]? 45 4 2 For [1063] if [1487] Abraham [11] were justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], he hath [2192] whereof to glory [2745]; but [235] not [3756] before [4314] God [2316]. 45 4 3 For [1063] what [5101] saith [3004] the scripture [1124]? [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was counted [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]. 45 4 4 Now [1161] to him that worketh [2038] is [3049] the reward [3408] not [3756] reckoned [3049] of [2596] grace [5485], but [235] of [2596] debt [3783]. 45 4 5 But [1161] to him that worketh [2038] not [3361], but [1161] believeth [4100] on [1909] him that justifieth [1344] the ungodly [765], his [846] faith [4102] is counted [3049] for [1519] righteousness [1343]. 45 4 6 Even as [2509] David [1138] also [2532] describeth [3004] the blessedness [3108] of the man [444], unto whom [3739] God [2316] imputeth [3049] righteousness [1343] without [5565] works [2041], 45 4 7 Saying, Blessed [3107] are they whose [3739] iniquities [458] are forgiven [863], and [2532] whose [3739] sins [266] are covered [1943]. 45 4 8 Blessed [3107] is the man [435] to whom [3739] the Lord [2962] will [3049] not [3364] impute [3049] sin [266]. 45 4 9 Cometh this [3778] blessedness [3108] then [3767] upon [1909] the circumcision [4061] only, or [2228] upon [1909] the uncircumcision [203] also [2532]? for [1063] we say [3004] that [3754] faith [4102] was reckoned [3049] to Abraham [11] for [1519] righteousness [1343]. 45 4 10 How [4459] was it [3049] then [3767] reckoned [3049]? when he was [5607] in [1722] circumcision [4061], or [2228] in [1722] uncircumcision [203]? Not [3756] in [1722] circumcision [4061], but [235] in [1722] uncircumcision [203]. 45 4 11 And [2532] he received [2983] the sign [4592] of circumcision [4061], a seal [4973] of the righteousness [1343] of the faith [4102] which [3588] he had yet being [1722] uncircumcised [203]: that [1519] he [846] might be [1511] the father [3962] of all [3956] them that believe [4100], though [1223] they be not circumcised [203]; that [1519] righteousness [1343] might be imputed [3049] unto them [846] also [2532]: 45 4 12 And [2532] the father [3962] of circumcision [4061] to them who are not [3756] of [1537] the circumcision [4061] only [3440], but [235] who also [2532] walk [4748] in the steps [2487] of that faith [4102] of our [2257] father [3962] Abraham [11], which he had being [1722] yet uncircumcised [203]. 45 4 13 For [1063] the promise [1860], that he should be [1511] the [846] heir [2818] of the world [2889], was not [3756] to Abraham [11], or [2228] to his [846] seed [4690], through [1223] the law [3551], but [235] through [1223] the righteousness [1343] of faith [4102]. 45 4 14 For [1063] if [1487] they which are of [1537] the law [3551] be heirs [2818], faith [4102] is made void [2758], and [2532] the promise [1860] made of none effect [2673]: 45 4 15 Because [1063] the law [3551] worketh [2716] wrath [3709]: for [1063] where [3757] no [3756] law [3551] is [2076], there is no [3761] transgression [3847]. 45 4 16 Therefore [1223] [5124] it is of [1537] faith [4102], that [2443] it might be by [2596] grace [5485]; to the end [1519] the promise [1860] might be [1511] sure [949] to all [3956] the seed [4690]; not [3756] to that only [3440] which is of [1537] the law [3551], but [235] to that also [2532] which is of [1537] the faith [4102] of Abraham [11]; who [3739] is [2076] the father [3962] of us [2257] all [3956], 45 4 17 (As [2531] it is written [1125], [3754] I have made [5087] thee [4571] a father [3962] of many [4183] nations [1484],) before [2713] him whom [3739] he believed [4100], even God [2316], who quickeneth [2227] the dead [3498], and [2532] calleth [2564] those things which be [5607] not [3361] as though [5613] they were [5607]. 45 4 18 Who [3739] against [3844] hope [1680] believed [4100] in [1909] hope [1680], that [1519] he [846] might become [1096] the father [3962] of many [4183] nations [1484], according [2596] to that which was spoken [2046], So [3779] shall [2071] thy [4675] seed [4690] be [2071]. 45 4 19 And [2532] being not [3361] weak [770] in faith [4102], he considered [2657] not [3756] his own [1438] body [4983] now [2235] dead [3499], when he was [5225] about [4225] an hundred years old [1541], neither yet [2532] the deadness [3500] of Sara's [4564] womb [3388]: 45 4 20 [1161] He staggered [1252] not [3756] at [1519] the promise [1860] of God [2316] through unbelief [570]; but [235] was strong [1743] in faith [4102], giving [1325] glory [1391] to God [2316]; 45 4 21 And [2532] being fully persuaded [4135] that [3754], what [3739] he had promised [1861], he was [2076] able [1415] also [2532] to perform [4160]. 45 4 22 And [2532] therefore [1352] it was imputed [3049] to him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]. 45 4 23 Now [1161] it was [1125] not [3756] written [1125] for his sake [1223] [846] alone [3440], that [3754] it was imputed [3049] to him [846]; 45 4 24 But [235] for [1223] us [2248] also [2532], to whom [3739] it shall be [3195] imputed [3049], if we believe [4100] on [1909] him that raised up [1453] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962] from [1537] the dead [3498]; 45 4 25 Who [3739] was delivered [3860] for [1223] our [2257] offences [3900], and [2532] was raised again [1453] for [1223] our [2257] justification [1347]. 45 5 1 Therefore [3767] being justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102], we have [2192] peace [1515] with [4314] God [2316] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 45 5 2 By [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] we have [2192] access [4318] by faith [4102] into [1519] this [5026] grace [5485] wherein [1722] [3739] we stand [2476], and [2532] rejoice [2744] in [1909] hope [1680] of the glory [1391] of God [2316]. 45 5 3 And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] so, but [235] we glory [2744] in [1722] tribulations [2347] also [2532]: knowing [1492] that [3754] tribulation [2347] worketh [2716] patience [5281]; 45 5 4 And [1161] patience [5281], experience [1382]; and [1161] experience [1382], hope [1680]: 45 5 5 And [1161] hope [1680] maketh [2617] not [3756] ashamed [2617]; because [3754] the love [26] of God [2316] is shed abroad [1632] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588] by [1223] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] which [3588] is given [1325] unto us [2254]. 45 5 6 For [1063] when we [2257] were [5607] yet [2089] without strength [772], in due [2596] time [2540] Christ [5547] died [599] for [5228] the ungodly [765]. 45 5 7 For [1063] scarcely [3433] for [5228] a righteous man [1342] will [599] one [5100] die [599]: yet [1063] peradventure [5029] for [5228] a good man [18] some [5100] would [5111] even [2532] dare [5111] to die [599]. 45 5 8 But [1161] God [2316] commendeth [4921] his [1438] love [26] toward [1519] us [2248], in that [3754], while we [2257] were [5607] yet [2089] sinners [268], Christ [5547] died [599] for [5228] us [2257]. 45 5 9 Much [4183] more [3123] then [3767], being [1344] now [3568] justified [1344] by [1722] his [846] blood [129], we shall be saved [4982] from [575] wrath [3709] through [1223] him [846]. 45 5 10 For [1063] if [1487], when we were [5607] enemies [2190], we were reconciled [2644] to God [2316] by [1223] the death [2288] of his [846] Son [5207], much [4183] more [3123], being reconciled [2644], we shall be saved [4982] by [1722] his [846] life [2222]. 45 5 11 And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] so, but [235] we also [2532] joy [2744] in [1722] God [2316] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], by [1223] whom [3739] we have [2983] now [3568] received [2983] the atonement [2643]. 45 5 12 Wherefore [1223] [5124], as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man [444] sin [266] entered [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] death [2288] by [1223] sin [266]; and [2532] so [3779] death [2288] passed [1330] upon [1519] all [3956] men [444], for [1909] that [3739] all [3956] have sinned [264]: 45 5 13 (For [1063] until [891] the law [3551] sin [266] was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889]: but [1161] sin [266] is [1677] not [3756] imputed [1677] when there is [5607] no [3361] law [3551]. 45 5 14 Nevertheless [235] death [2288] reigned [936] from [575] Adam [76] to [3360] Moses [3475], even [2532] over [1909] them that had [264] not [3361] sinned [264] after [1909] the similitude [3667] of Adam's [76] transgression [3847], who [3739] is [2076] the figure [5179] of him that was to come [3195]. 45 5 15 But [235] not [3756] as [5613] the offence [3900], so [3779] also [2532] is the free gift [5486]. For [1063] if [1487] through the offence [3900] of one [1520] many [4183] be dead [599], much [4183] more [3123] the grace [5485] of God [2316], and [2532] the gift [1431] by [1722] grace [5485], which is [3588] by one [1520] man [444], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], hath abounded [4052] unto [1519] many [4183]. 45 5 16 And [2532] not [3756] as [5613] it was by [1223] one [1520] that sinned [264], so is the gift [1434]: for [1063] [3303] the judgment [2917] was by [1537] one [1520] to [1519] condemnation [2631], but [1161] the free gift [5486] is of [1537] many [4183] offences [3900] unto [1519] justification [1345]. 45 5 17 For [1063] if [1487] by one man's [1520] offence [3900] death [2288] reigned [936] by [1223] one [1520]; much [4183] more [3123] they which receive [2983] abundance [4050] of grace [5485] and [2532] of the gift [1431] of righteousness [1343] shall reign [936] in [1722] life [2222] by [1223] one [1520], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].) 45 5 18 Therefore [686] [3767] as [5613] by [1223] the offence [3900] of one [1520] judgment came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] to [1519] condemnation [2631]; even [2532] so [3779] by [1223] the righteousness [1345] of one [1520] the free gift came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] unto [1519] justification [1347] of life [2222]. 45 5 19 For [1063] as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man's [444] disobedience [3876] many [4183] were made [2525] sinners [268], so [3779] [2532] by [1223] the obedience [5218] of one [1520] shall [2525] many [4183] be made [2525] righteous [1342]. 45 5 20 Moreover [1161] the law [3551] entered [3922], that [2443] the offence [3900] might abound [4121]. But [1161] where [3757] sin [266] abounded [4121], grace [5485] did much more abound [5248]: 45 5 21 That [2443] as [5618] sin [266] hath reigned [936] unto [1722] death [2288], even [2532] so [3779] might [936] grace [5485] reign [936] through [1223] righteousness [1343] unto [1519] eternal [166] life [2222] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 45 6 1 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? Shall we continue [1961] in sin [266], that [2443] grace [5485] may abound [4121]? 45 6 2 God forbid [3361] [1096]. How [4459] shall we, that [3748] are dead [599] to sin [266], live [2198] any longer [2089] therein [1722] [846]? 45 6 3 [2228] Know ye not [50], that so [3754] many of us [3745] as were baptized [907] into [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] were baptized [907] into [1519] his [846] death [2288]? 45 6 4 Therefore [3767] we are buried with [4916] him [846] by [1223] baptism [908] into [1519] death [2288]: that [2443] like as [5618] Christ [5547] was raised up [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] by [1223] the glory [1391] of the Father [3962], even so [3779] we [2249] also [2532] should walk [4043] in [1722] newness [2538] of life [2222]. 45 6 5 For [1063] if [1487] we have been [1096] planted together [4854] in the likeness [3667] of his [846] death [2288], we shall be [2071] also [235] [2532] in the likeness of his resurrection [386]: 45 6 6 Knowing [1097] this [5124], that [3754] our [2257] old [3820] man [444] is crucified with [4957] him, that [2443] the body [4983] of sin [266] might be destroyed [2673], that henceforth [3371] we [2248] should [1398] not [3371] serve [1398] sin [266]. 45 6 7 For [1063] he that is dead [599] is freed [1344] from [575] sin [266]. 45 6 8 Now [1161] if [1487] we be dead [599] with [4862] Christ [5547], we believe [4100] that [3754] we shall [4800] also [2532] live [4800] with him [846]: 45 6 9 Knowing [1492] that [3754] Christ [5547] being raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] dieth [599] no more [3765]; death [2288] hath [2961] no more [3765] dominion over [2961] him [846]. 45 6 10 For [3739] [1063] in that he died [599], he died [599] unto sin [266] once [2178]: but [1161] in that [3739] he liveth [2198], he liveth [2198] unto God [2316]. 45 6 11 Likewise [3779] reckon [3049] ye [5210] also [2532] yourselves [1438] to be [1511] dead [3498] indeed [3303] unto sin [266], but [1161] alive [2198] unto God [2316] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 45 6 12 Let [936] not [3361] sin [266] therefore [3767] reign [936] in [1722] your [5216] mortal [2349] body [4983], that [1519] ye should obey [5219] it [846] in [1722] the lusts [1939] thereof [846]. 45 6 13 Neither [3366] yield ye [3936] your [5216] members [3196] as instruments [3696] of unrighteousness [93] unto sin [266]: but [235] yield [3936] yourselves [1438] unto God [2316], as [5613] those that are alive [2198] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] your [5216] members [3196] as instruments [3696] of righteousness [1343] unto God [2316]. 45 6 14 For [1063] sin [266] shall [2961] not [3756] have dominion over [2961] you [5216]: for [1063] ye are [2075] not [3756] under [5259] the law [3551], but [235] under [5259] grace [5485]. 45 6 15 What [5101] then [3767]? shall we sin [264], because [3754] we are [2070] not [3756] under [5259] the law [3551], but [235] under [5259] grace [5485]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. 45 6 16 Know ye [1492] not [3756], that [3754] to whom [3739] ye yield [3936] yourselves [1438] servants [1401] to [1519] obey [5218], his servants [1401] ye are [2075] to whom [3739] ye obey [5219]; whether [2273] of sin [266] unto [1519] death [2288], or [2228] of obedience [5218] unto [1519] righteousness [1343]? 45 6 17 But [1161] God [2316] be thanked [5485], that [3754] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], but [1161] ye have obeyed [5219] from [1537] the heart [2588] that form [5179] of doctrine [1322] which [1519] [3739] was delivered you [3860]. 45 6 18 Being [1659] then [1161] made free [1659] from [575] sin [266], ye became the servants [1402] of righteousness [1343]. 45 6 19 I speak [3004] after the manner of men [442] because [1223] of the infirmity [769] of your [5216] flesh [4561]: for [1063] as [5618] ye have yielded [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to uncleanness [167] and [2532] to iniquity [458] unto [1519] iniquity [458]; even so [3779] now [3568] yield [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to righteousness [1343] unto [1519] holiness [38]. 45 6 20 For [1063] when [3753] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], ye were [2258] free [1658] from righteousness [1343]. 45 6 21 What [5101] [3767] fruit [2590] had ye [2192] then [5119] in [1909] those things whereof [3739] ye are [1870] now [3568] ashamed [1870]? for [1063] the end [5056] of those things [1565] is death [2288]. 45 6 22 But [1161] now [3570] being made free [1659] from [575] sin [266], and [1161] become servants [1402] to God [2316], ye have [2192] your [5216] fruit [2590] unto [1519] holiness [38], and [1161] the end [5056] everlasting [166] life [2222]. 45 6 23 For [1063] the wages [3800] of sin [266] is death [2288]; but [1161] the gift [5486] of God [2316] is eternal [166] life [2222] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 45 7 1 [2228] Know ye not [50], brethren [80], (for [1063] I speak [2980] to them that know [1097] the law [3551],) how that [3754] the law [3551] hath dominion over [2961] a man [444] as long as [1909] [3745] [5550] he liveth [2198]? 45 7 2 For [1063] the woman [1135] which hath an husband [5220] is bound [1210] by the law [3551] to her husband [435] so long as he liveth [2198]; but [1161] if [1437] the husband [435] be dead [599], she is loosed [2673] from [575] the law [3551] of her husband [435]. 45 7 3 So then [686] [3767] if [1437], while her husband [435] liveth [2198], she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435], she shall be called [5537] an adulteress [3428]: but [1161] if [1437] her husband [435] be dead [599], she is [2076] free [1658] from [575] that law [3551]; so that she [846] is [1511] no [3361] adulteress [3428], though she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435]. 45 7 4 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80], ye [5210] also [2532] are become dead [2289] to the law [3551] by [1223] the body [4983] of Christ [5547]; that [1519] ye [5209] should be married [1096] to another [2087], even to him who is raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], that [2443] we should bring forth fruit [2592] unto God [2316]. 45 7 5 For [1063] when [3753] we were [2258] in [1722] the flesh [4561], the motions [3804] of sins [266], which [3588] were by [1223] the law [3551], did work [1754] in [1722] our [2257] members [3196] to bring [1519] forth fruit [2592] unto death [2288]. 45 7 6 But [1161] now [3570] we are delivered [2673] from [575] the law [3551], that being dead [599] [599] wherein [1722] [3739] we were held [2722]; that [5620] we [2248] should serve [1398] in [1722] newness [2538] of spirit [4151], and [2532] not [3756] in the oldness [3821] of the letter [1121]. 45 7 7 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? Is the law [3551] sin [266]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. Nay [235], I had [1097] not [3756] known [1097] sin [266], but [1508] by [1223] the law [3551]: for [1063] [5037] I had [1492] not [3756] known [1492] lust [1939], except [1508] the law [3551] had said [3004], Thou shalt [1937] not [3756] covet [1937]. 45 7 8 But [1161] sin [266], taking [2983] occasion [874] by [1223] the commandment [1785], wrought [2716] in [1722] me [1698] all manner of [3956] concupiscence [1939]. For [1063] without [5565] the law [3551] sin [266] was dead [3498]. 45 7 9 For [1161] I [1473] was alive [2198] without [5565] the law [3551] once [4218]: but [1161] when the commandment [1785] came [2064], sin [266] revived [326], and [1161] I [1473] died [599]. 45 7 10 And [2532] the commandment [1785], which [3588] was ordained to [1519] life [2222], I [3427] found [2147] [3778] to be unto [1519] death [2288]. 45 7 11 For [1063] sin [266], taking [2983] occasion [874] by [1223] the commandment [1785], deceived [1818] me [3165], and [2532] by [1223] it [846] slew [615] me. 45 7 12 Wherefore [5620] [3303] the law [3551] is holy [40], and [2532] the commandment [1785] holy [40], and [2532] just [1342], and [2532] good [18]. 45 7 13 Was then [3767] that which is good [18] made [1096] death [2288] unto me [1698]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. But [235] sin [266], that [2443] it might appear [5316] sin [266], working [2716] death [2288] in me [3427] by [1223] that which is good [18]; that [2443] sin [266] by [1223] the commandment [1785] might become [1096] exceeding [2596] [5236] sinful [268]. 45 7 14 For [1063] we know [1492] that [3754] the law [3551] is [2076] spiritual [4152]: but [1161] I [1473] am [1510] carnal [4559], sold [4097] under [5259] sin [266]. 45 7 15 For [1063] that which [3739] I do [2716] I allow [1097] not [3756]: for [1063] what [3739] I would [2309], that [5124] do I [4238] not [3756]; but [235] what [3739] I hate [3404], that [5124] do I [4160]. 45 7 16 If [1487] then [1161] I do [4160] that [5124] which [3739] I would [2309] not [3756], I consent [4852] unto the law [3551] that [3754] it is good [2570]. 45 7 17 Now [3570] then [1161] it is no more [3765] I [1473] that do [2716] it [846], but [235] sin [266] that dwelleth [3611] in [1722] me [1698]. 45 7 18 For [1063] I know [1492] that [3754] in [1722] me [1698] (that is [5123], in [1722] my [3450] flesh [4561],) dwelleth [3611] no [3756] good thing [18]: for [1063] to will [2309] is present [3873] with me [3427]; but [1161] how to perform [2716] that which is good [2570] I find [2147] not [3756]. 45 7 19 For [1063] [3739] the good [18] that I would [2309] I do [4160] not [3756]: but [235] the evil [2556] which [3739] I would [2309] not [3756], that [5124] I do [4238]. 45 7 20 Now [1161] if [1487] [3739] I do [4160] that [5124] I [1473] would [2309] not [3756], it is no more [2089] [3765] I [1473] that do [2716] it [846], but [235] sin [266] that dwelleth [3611] in [1722] me [1698]. 45 7 21 I find [2147] then [686] a law [3551], that [3754], when I [1698] would [2309] do [4160] good [2570], evil [2556] is present [3873] with me [1698]. 45 7 22 For [1063] I delight [4913] in the law [3551] of God [2316] after [2596] the inward [2080] man [444]: 45 7 23 But [1161] I see [991] another [2087] law [3551] in [1722] my [3450] members [3196], warring against [497] the law [3551] of my [3450] mind [3563], and [2532] bringing [163] me [3165] into captivity [163] to the law [3551] of sin [266] which [3588] is [5607] in [1722] my [3450] members [3196]. 45 7 24 O wretched [5005] man [444] that I am [1473]! who [5101] shall deliver [4506] me [3165] from [1537] the body [4983] of this [5127] death [2288]? 45 7 25 I thank [2168] God [2316] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. So then [686] [3767] with the mind [3563] I [1473] myself [846] serve [3303] [1398] the law [3551] of God [2316]; but [1161] with the flesh [4561] the law [3551] of sin [266]. 45 8 1 There is therefore [686] now [3568] no [3762] condemnation [2631] to them which are in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], who walk [4043] not [3361] after [2596] the flesh [4561], but [235] after [2596] the Spirit [4151]. 45 8 2 For [1063] the law [3551] of the Spirit [4151] of life [2222] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] hath made [1659] me [3165] free [1659] from [575] the law [3551] of sin [266] and [2532] death [2288]. 45 8 3 For [1063] what the law [3551] could not do [102], in [1722] that [3739] it was weak [770] through [1223] the flesh [4561], God [2316] sending [3992] his own [1438] Son [5207] in [1722] the likeness [3667] of sinful [266] flesh [4561], and [2532] for [4012] sin [266], condemned [2632] sin [266] in [1722] the flesh [4561]: 45 8 4 That [2443] the righteousness [1345] of the law [3551] might be fulfilled [4137] in [1722] us [2254], who walk [4043] not [3361] after [2596] the flesh [4561], but [235] after [2596] the Spirit [4151]. 45 8 5 For [1063] they that are [5607] after [2596] the flesh [4561] do mind [5426] the things [3588] of the flesh [4561]; but [1161] they that are after [2596] the Spirit [4151] the things [3588] of the Spirit [4151]. 45 8 6 For [1063] to be [5427] carnally [4561] minded [5427] is death [2288]; but [1161] to be [5427] spiritually [4151] minded [5427] is life [2222] and [2532] peace [1515]. 45 8 7 Because [1360] the carnal [4561] mind [5427] is enmity [2189] against [1519] God [2316]: for [1063] it is [5293] not [3756] subject [5293] to the law [3551] of God [2316], neither [3761] indeed [1063] can be [1410]. 45 8 8 So then [1161] they that are [5607] in [1722] the flesh [4561] cannot [3756] [1410] please [700] God [2316]. 45 8 9 But [1161] ye [5210] are [2075] not [3756] in [1722] the flesh [4561], but [235] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], if so be [1512] that the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] dwell [3611] in [1722] you [5213]. Now [1161] if any man [1536] have [2192] not [3756] the Spirit [4151] of Christ [5547], he [3778] is [2076] none [3756] of his [846]. 45 8 10 And [1161] if [1487] Christ [5547] be in [1722] you [5213], the body [4983] [3303] is dead [3498] because [1223] of sin [266]; but [1161] the Spirit [4151] is life [2222] because [1223] of righteousness [1343]. 45 8 11 But [1161] if [1487] the Spirit [4151] of him that raised up [1453] Jesus [2424] from [1537] the dead [3498] dwell [3611] in [1722] you [5213], he that raised up [1453] Christ [5547] from [1537] the dead [3498] shall [2227] also [2532] quicken [2227] your [5216] mortal [2349] bodies [4983] by [1223] his [846] Spirit [4151] that dwelleth [1774] [1774] in [1722] you [5213]. 45 8 12 Therefore [686] [3767], brethren [80], we are [2070] debtors [3781], not [3756] to the flesh [4561], to live [2198] after [2596] the flesh [4561]. 45 8 13 For [1063] if [1487] ye live [2198] after [2596] the flesh [4561], ye shall [3195] die [599]: but [1161] if [1487] ye [2289] through the Spirit [4151] do mortify [2289] the deeds [4234] of the body [4983], ye shall live [2198]. 45 8 14 For [1063] as many as [3745] are led [71] by the Spirit [4151] of God [2316], they [3778] are [1526] the sons [5207] of God [2316]. 45 8 15 For [1063] ye have [2983] not [3756] received [2983] the spirit [4151] of bondage [1397] again [3825] to [1519] fear [5401]; but [235] ye have received [2983] the Spirit [4151] of adoption [5206], whereby [1722] [3739] we cry [2896], Abba [5], Father [3962]. 45 8 16 The Spirit [4151] itself [846] beareth witness [4828] with our [2257] spirit [4151], that [3754] we are [2070] the children [5043] of God [2316]: 45 8 17 And [1161] if [1487] children [5043], then [2532] heirs [2818]; heirs [2818] of God [3303] [2316], and [1161] joint-heirs [4789] with Christ [5547]; if so be [1512] that we suffer with [4841] him, that [2443] we may be [4888] also [2532] glorified together [4888]. 45 8 18 For [1063] I reckon [3049] that [3754] the sufferings [3804] of this present [3568] time [2540] are not [3756] worthy [514] to be compared with [4314] the glory [1391] which shall [3195] be revealed [601] in [1519] us [2248]. 45 8 19 For [1063] the earnest expectation [603] of the creature [2937] waiteth [553] for the manifestation [602] of the sons [5207] of God [2316]. 45 8 20 For [1063] the creature [2937] was made subject [5293] to vanity [3153], not [3756] willingly [1635], but [235] by reason [1223] of him who hath subjected [5293] the same in [1909] hope [1680], 45 8 21 Because [3754] the creature [2937] itself [846] also [2532] shall be delivered [1659] from [575] the bondage [1397] of corruption [5356] into [1519] the glorious [1391] liberty [1657] of the children [5043] of God [2316]. 45 8 22 For [1063] we know [1492] that [3754] the whole [3956] creation [2937] groaneth [4959] and [2532] travaileth in pain together [4944] until [891] now [3568]. 45 8 23 And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] they, but [235] ourselves [846] also [2532], which have [2192] the firstfruits [536] of the Spirit [4151], even [2532] we [2249] ourselves [846] groan [4727] within [1722] ourselves [1438], waiting [553] for the adoption [5206], to wit, the redemption [629] of our [2257] body [4983]. 45 8 24 For [1063] we are saved [4982] by hope [1680]: but [1161] hope [1680] that is seen [991] is [2076] not [3756] hope [1680]: for [1063] what [3739] a man [5100] seeth [991], why [5101] doth he [1679] yet [2532] hope for [1679]? 45 8 25 But [1161] if [1487] we hope [1679] for that [3739] we see [991] not [3756], then do we [553] with [1223] patience [5281] wait for [553] it. 45 8 26 [1161] Likewise [5615] the Spirit [4151] also [2532] helpeth [4878] our [2257] infirmities [769]: for [1063] we know [1492] not [3756] what [5101] we should pray for [4336] as [2526] we ought [1163]: but [235] the Spirit [4151] itself [846] maketh intercession [5241] for [5228] us [2257] with groanings [4726] which cannot be uttered [215]. 45 8 27 And [1161] he that searcheth [2045] the hearts [2588] knoweth [1492] what [5101] is the mind [5427] of the Spirit [4151], because [3754] he maketh intercession [1793] for [5228] the saints [40] according [2596] to the will of God [2316]. 45 8 28 And [1161] we know [1492] that all things [3956] work together [4903] for [1519] good [18] to them that [3754] love [25] God [2316], to them who are [5607] the called [2822] according [2596] to his purpose [4286]. 45 8 29 For [3754] whom [3739] he did foreknow [4267], he [4309] also [2532] did predestinate [4309] to be conformed [4832] to the image [1504] of his [846] Son [5207], that [1519] he [846] might be [1511] the firstborn [4416] among [1722] many [4183] brethren [80]. 45 8 30 Moreover [1161] whom [3739] he did predestinate [4309], them [5128] he [2564] also [2532] called [2564]: and [2532] whom [3739] he called [2564], them [5128] he [1344] also [2532] justified [1344]: and [1161] whom [3739] he justified [1344], them [5128] he [1392] also [2532] glorified [1392]. 45 8 31 What [5101] shall we [2046] then [3767] say [2046] to [4314] these things [5023]? If [1487] God [2316] be for [5228] us [2257], who [5101] can be against [2596] us [2257]? 45 8 32 He that [3739] [1065] spared [5339] not [3756] his own [2398] Son [5207], but [235] delivered [3860] him [846] up [3860] for [5228] us [2257] all [3956], how [4459] shall he [5483] not [3780] with [4862] him [846] also [2532] freely give [5483] us [2254] all things [3956]? 45 8 33 Who [5101] shall lay any thing [1458] to the charge [2596] of God's [2316] elect [1588]? It is God [2316] that justifieth [1344]. 45 8 34 Who [5101] is he that condemneth [2632]? It is Christ [5547] that died [599], yea [1161] rather [3123] [2532], that is risen again [1453], who [3739] is [2076] even [2532] at [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316], who [3739] also [2532] maketh intercession [1793] for [5228] us [2257]. 45 8 35 Who [5101] shall separate [5563] us [2248] from [575] the love [26] of Christ [5547]? shall tribulation [2347], or [2228] distress [4730], or [2228] persecution [1375], or [2228] famine [3042], or [2228] nakedness [1132], or [2228] peril [2794], or [2228] sword [3162]? 45 8 36 As [2531] it is written [1125], [3754] For thy [4675] sake [1752] we are killed [2289] all [3650] the day long [2250]; we are accounted [3049] as [5613] sheep [4263] for the slaughter [4967]. 45 8 37 Nay [235], in [1722] all [3956] these things [5125] we are more than conquerors [5245] through [1223] him that loved [25] us [2248]. 45 8 38 For [1063] I am persuaded [3982], that [3754] neither [3777] death [2288], nor [3777] life [2222], nor [3777] angels [32], nor [3777] principalities [746], nor [3777] powers [1411], nor [3777] things present [1764], nor [3777] things to come [3195], 45 8 39 Nor [3777] height [5313], nor [3777] depth [899], nor [3777] any [5100] other [2087] creature [2937], shall be able [1410] to separate [5563] us [2248] from [575] the love [26] of God [2316], which is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 45 9 1 I say [3004] the truth [225] in [1722] Christ [5547], I lie [5574] not [3756], my [3450] conscience [4893] also bearing [4828] me [3427] witness [4828] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], 45 9 2 That [3754] I [3427] have [2076] great [3173] heaviness [3077] and [2532] continual [88] sorrow in [3601] my [3450] heart [2588]. 45 9 3 For [1063] I [1473] could wish [2172] that myself [846] were [1511] accursed [331] from [575] Christ [5547] for [5228] my [3450] brethren [80], my [3450] kinsmen [4773] according [2596] to the flesh [4561]: 45 9 4 Who [3748] are [1526] Israelites [2475]; to whom [3739] pertaineth the adoption [5206], and [2532] the glory [1391], and [2532] the covenants [1242], and [2532] the giving of the law [3548], and [2532] the service [2999] of God, and [2532] the promises [1860]; 45 9 5 Whose [3739] are the fathers [3962], and [2532] of [1537] whom [3739] as concerning [2596] the flesh [4561] Christ [5547] came, who [5607] is over [1909] all [3956], God [2316] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281]. 45 9 6 Not [3756] as [3634] though [1161] [3754] the word [3056] of God [2316] hath taken none effect [1601]. For [1063] they are not [3756] all [3956] [1537] Israel [2474], which [3588] [3778] are of Israel [2474]: 45 9 7 Neither [3761], because [3754] they are [1526] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], are they all [3956] children [5043]: but [235], In [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564]. 45 9 8 That is [5123], They which are the children [5043] of the flesh [4561], these [5023] are not [3756] the children [5043] of God [2316]: but [235] the children [5043] of the promise [1860] are counted [3049] for [1519] the seed [4690]. 45 9 9 For [1063] this [3778] is the word [3056] of promise [1860], At [2596] this [5126] time [2540] will I come [2064], and [2532] Sara [4564] shall have [2071] a son [5207]. 45 9 10 And [1161] not [3756] only [3440] this; but [235] when Rebecca [4479] also [2532] had conceived [2845] by [1537] one [1520] [2192], even by our [2257] father [3962] Isaac [2464]; 45 9 11 (For [1063] the children being [1080] not yet [3380] born [1080], neither [3366] having done [4238] any [5100] good [18] or [2228] evil [2556], that [2443] the purpose [4286] of God [2316] according [2596] to election [1589] might stand [3306], not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], but [235] of [1537] him that calleth [2564] 45 9 12 [3754] It was said [4483] unto her [846], The elder [3187] shall serve [1398] the younger [1640]. 45 9 13 As [2531] it is written [1125], Jacob [2384] have I loved [25], but [1161] Esau [2269] have I hated [3404]. 45 9 14 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? [3361] Is there unrighteousness [93] with [3844] God [2316]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. 45 9 15 For [1063] he saith [3004] to Moses [3475], I will have mercy on [1653] whom [3739] [302] I will have mercy [1653], and [2532] I will have compassion [3627] on whom [3739] [302] I will have compassion [3627]. 45 9 16 So [686] then [3767] it is not [3756] of him that willeth [2309], nor [3761] of him that runneth [5143], but [235] of God [2316] that sheweth mercy [1653]. 45 9 17 For [1063] the scripture [1124] saith [3004] unto Pharaoh [5328], Even for [3754] [1519] this [5124] same purpose [846] have I raised [1825] thee [4571] up [1825], that [3704] I might shew [1731] my [3450] power [1411] in [1722] thee [4671], and [2532] that [3704] my [3450] name [3686] might be declared [1229] throughout [1722] all [3956] the earth [1093]. 45 9 18 Therefore [686] [3767] hath he mercy [1653] on whom [3739] he will [2309] have mercy, and [1161] whom [3739] he will [2309] he hardeneth [4645]. 45 9 19 Thou wilt say [2046] then [3767] unto me [3427], Why [5101] doth he yet [2089] find fault [3201]? For [1063] who [5101] hath resisted [436] his [846] will [1013]? 45 9 20 Nay but [3304], O [5599] man [444], who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771] that repliest against [470] God [2316]? [3361] Shall [2046] the thing formed [4110] say [2046] to him that formed [4111] it, Why [5101] hast thou made [4160] me [3165] thus [3779]? 45 9 21 [2228] Hath [2192] not [3756] the potter [2763] power [1849] over the clay [4081], of [1537] the same [846] lump [5445] to [3739] [3303] make [4160] one vessel [4632] unto [1519] honour [5092], and [1161] another [3739] unto [1519] dishonour [819]? 45 9 22 What if [1487] [1161] God [2316], willing [2309] to shew [1731] his wrath [3709], and [2532] to make [1107] his [846] power [1415] known [1107], endured [5342] with [1722] much [4183] longsuffering [3115] the vessels [4632] of wrath [3709] fitted [2675] to [1519] destruction [684]: 45 9 23 And [2532] that [2443] he might make known [1107] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391] on [1909] the vessels [4632] of mercy [1656], which [3739] he had afore prepared [4282] unto [1519] glory [1391], 45 9 24 [3739] Even [2532] us [2248], whom [3739] he hath called [2564], not [3756] of [1537] the Jews [2453] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484]? 45 9 25 As he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] Osee [5617], I will call [2564] them my [3450] people [2992], which were not [3756] my [3450] people [2992]; and [2532] her beloved [25], which was [25] not [3756] beloved [25]. 45 9 26 And [2532] it shall come to pass [2071], that in [1722] the place [5117] where [3757] [3739] it was said [4483] unto them [846], Ye [5210] are not [3756] my [3450] people [2992]; there [1563] shall they be called [2564] the children [5207] of the living [2198] God [2316]. 45 9 27 Esaias [2268] also [1161] crieth [2896] concerning [5228] Israel [2474], Though [1437] the number [706] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474] be [5600] as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281], a remnant [2640] shall be saved [4982]: 45 9 28 For [1063] he will finish [4931] the work [3056], and [2532] cut it short [4932] in [1722] righteousness [1343]: because [3754] a short [4932] work [3056] will [4160] the Lord [2962] make [4160] upon [1909] the earth [1093]. 45 9 29 And [2532] as [2531] Esaias [2268] said before [4280], Except [1508] the Lord [2962] of Sabaoth [4519] had left [1459] us [2254] a seed [4690], we had been [302] [1096] as [5613] Sodoma [4670], and [2532] been made like [302] [3666] unto [5613] Gomorrha [1116]. 45 9 30 What [5101] shall we say [2046] then [3767]? That [3754] the Gentiles [1484], which [3588] followed [1377] not [3361] after righteousness [1343], have attained [2638] to righteousness [1343], even [1161] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] faith [4102]. 45 9 31 But [1161] Israel [2474], which followed [1377] after the law [3551] of righteousness [1343], hath [5348] not [3756] attained [5348] to [1519] the law [3551] of righteousness [1343]. 45 9 32 Wherefore [1302]? Because [3754] they sought it not [3756] by [1537] faith [4102], but [235] as [5613] it were by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]. For [1063] they stumbled [4350] at that stumblingstone [3037] [4348]; 45 9 33 As [2531] it is written [1125], Behold [2400], I lay [5087] in [1722] Sion [4622] a stumblingstone [3037] [4348] and [2532] rock [4073] of offence [4625]: and [2532] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] on [1909] him [846] shall [2617] not [3756] be ashamed [2617]. 45 10 1 Brethren [80], my [1699] heart's [2588] desire [2107] and [2532] prayer [1162] to [4314] God [2316] for [5228] Israel [2474] is [2076], that [3303] [1519] they might be saved [4991]. 45 10 2 For [1063] I bear [3140] them [846] record [3140] that [3754] they have [2192] a zeal [2205] of God [2316], but [235] not [3756] according [2596] to knowledge [1922]. 45 10 3 For [1063] they being ignorant [50] of God's [2316] righteousness [1343], and [2532] going about [2212] to establish [2476] their own [2398] righteousness [1343], have [5293] not [3756] submitted themselves [5293] unto the righteousness [1343] of God [2316]. 45 10 4 For [1063] Christ [5547] is the end [5056] of the law [3551] for [1519] righteousness [1343] to every one [3956] that believeth [4100]. 45 10 5 For [1063] Moses [3475] describeth [1125] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] the law [3551], That [3754] the man [444] which doeth [4160] those things [846] shall live [2198] by [1722] them [846]. 45 10 6 But [1161] the righteousness [1343] which is of [1537] faith [4102] speaketh [3004] on this wise [3779], Say [2036] not [3361] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588], Who [5101] shall ascend [305] into [1519] heaven [3772]? (that is [5123], to bring [2609] Christ [5547] down [2609] from above:) 45 10 7 Or [2228], Who [5101] shall descend [2597] into [1519] the deep [12]? (that is [5123], to bring up [321] Christ [5547] again [321] from [1537] the dead [3498].) 45 10 8 But [235] what [5101] saith it [3004]? The word [4487] is [2076] nigh [1451] thee [4675], even in [1722] thy [4675] mouth [4750], and [2532] in [1722] thy [4675] heart [2588]: that is [5123], the word [4487] of faith [4102], which [3739] we preach [2784]; 45 10 9 That [3754] if [1437] thou shalt confess [3670] with [1722] thy [4675] mouth [4750] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] shalt believe [4100] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588] that [3754] God [2316] hath raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], thou shalt be saved [4982]. 45 10 10 For [1063] with the heart [2588] man believeth [4100] unto [1519] righteousness [1343]; and [1161] with the mouth [4750] confession is made [3670] unto [1519] salvation [4991]. 45 10 11 For [1063] the scripture [1124] saith [3004], Whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] on [1909] him [846] shall [2617] not [3756] be ashamed [2617]. 45 10 12 For [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293] between [5037] the Jew [2453] and [2532] the Greek [1672]: for [1063] the same [846] Lord [2962] over all [3956] is rich [4147] unto [1519] all [3956] that call upon [1941] him [846]. 45 10 13 For [3956] [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall call upon [1941] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] shall be saved [4982]. 45 10 14 How [4459] then [3767] shall they call on [1941] him in [1519] whom [3739] they have [4100] not [3756] believed [4100]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they believe in [4100] him of whom [3739] they have [191] not [3756] heard [191]? and [1161] how [4459] shall they hear [191] without [5565] a preacher [2784]? 45 10 15 And [1161] how [4459] shall they preach [2784], except [3362] they be sent [649]? as [2531] it is written [1125], How [5613] beautiful [5611] are the feet of them [4228] that preach the gospel [2097] of peace [1515], and bring glad tidings [2097] of good things [18]! 45 10 16 But [235] they have [5219] not [3756] all [3956] obeyed [5219] the gospel [2098]. For [1063] Esaias [2268] saith [3004], Lord [2962], who [5101] hath believed [4100] our [2257] report [189]? 45 10 17 So then [686] faith [4102] cometh by [1537] hearing [189], and [1161] hearing [189] by [1223] the word [4487] of God [2316]. 45 10 18 But [235] I say [3004], Have [191] they not [3378] heard [191]? Yes verily [3304], their [846] sound [5353] went [1831] into [1519] all [3956] the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] words [4487] unto [1519] the ends [4009] of the world [3625]. 45 10 19 But [235] I say [3004], Did [1097] not [3378] Israel [2474] know [1097]? First [4413] Moses [3475] saith [3004], I [1473] will provoke [3863] you [5209] to jealousy [3863] by [1909] them that are no [3756] people [1484], and by [1909] a foolish [801] nation [1484] I will anger [3949] you [5209]. 45 10 20 But [1161] Esaias [2268] is very bold [662], and [2532] saith [3004], I was found [2147] of them that sought [2212] me [1691] not [3361]; I was made [1096] manifest [1717] unto them that asked [1905] not [3361] after [1905] me [1691]. 45 10 21 But [1161] to [4314] Israel [2474] he saith [3004], All [3650] day long [2250] I have stretched forth [1600] my [3450] hands [5495] unto [4314] a disobedient [544] and [2532] gainsaying [483] people [2992]. 45 11 1 I say [3004] then [3767], [3361] Hath [683] God [2316] cast away [683] his [846] people [2992]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. For [1063] I [1473] also [2532] am [1510] an Israelite [2475], of [1537] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11], of the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958]. 45 11 2 God [2316] hath [683] not [3756] cast away [683] his [846] people [2992] which [3739] he foreknew [4267]. [2228] Wot ye [1492] not [3756] what [5101] the scripture [1124] saith [3004] of [1722] Elias [2243]? how [5613] he maketh intercession [1793] to God [2316] against [2596] Israel [2474], saying [3004], 45 11 3 Lord [2962], they have killed [615] thy [4675] prophets [4396], and [2532] digged down [2679] thine [4675] altars [2379]; and I [2504] am left [5275] alone [3441], and [2532] they seek [2212] my [3450] life [5590]. 45 11 4 But [235] what [5101] saith [3004] the answer of God [5538] unto him [846]? I have reserved [2641] to myself [1683] seven thousand [2035] men [435], who [3748] have [2578] not [3756] bowed [2578] the knee [1119] to the image of Baal [896]. 45 11 5 Even so [3779] then [3767] at [1722] this present [3568] time [2540] also [2532] there is [1096] a remnant [3005] according [2596] to the election [1589] of grace [5485]. 45 11 6 And [1161] if [1487] by grace [5485], then is it no more [2089] [3765] of [1537] works [2041]: otherwise [1893] grace [5485] is [1096] no more [2089] [3765] grace [5485]. But [1161] if [1487] it be of [1537] works [2041], then is it [2076] no more [2089] [3765] grace [5485]: otherwise [1893] work [2041] is [2076] no more [2089] [3765] work [2041]. 45 11 7 What [5101] then [3767]? Israel [2474] hath [2013] not [3756] obtained [2013] that [5127] which [3739] he seeketh for [1934]; but [1161] the election [1589] hath obtained it [2013], and [1161] the rest [3062] were blinded [4456] 45 11 8 (According as [2531] it is written [1125], God [2316] hath given [1325] them [846] the spirit [4151] of slumber [2659], eyes [3788] that they should [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] ears [3775] that they should [191] not [3361] hear [191] unto [2193] this [4594] day [2250]. 45 11 9 And [2532] David [1138] saith [3004], Let [1096] their [846] table [5132] be made [1096] a snare [1519] [3803], and [2532] a trap [1519] [2339], and [2532] a stumblingblock [1519] [4625], and [2532] a recompence [1519] [468] unto them [846]: 45 11 10 Let [4654] their [846] eyes [3788] be darkened [4654], that they may [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] bow down [4781] their [846] back [3577] alway [1275]. 45 11 11 I say [3004] then [3767], [3361] Have they stumbled [4417] that [2443] they should fall [4098]? God forbid [3361] [1096]: but [235] rather through their [846] fall [3900] salvation [4991] is come unto the Gentiles [1484], for to [1519] provoke [3863] them [846] to jealousy [3863]. 45 11 12 Now [1161] if [1487] the fall [3900] of them [846] be the riches [4149] of the world [2889], and [2532] the diminishing [2275] of them [846] the riches [4149] of the Gentiles [1484]; how [4214] much more [3123] their [846] fulness [4138]? 45 11 13 For [1063] I speak [3004] to you [5213] Gentiles [1484], inasmuch as [1909] [3745] [3303] I [1473] am [1510] the apostle [652] of the Gentiles [1484], I magnify [1392] mine [3450] office [1248]: 45 11 14 If by any means [1513] [4458] I may provoke to emulation [3863] them which are my [3450] flesh [4561], and [2532] might save [4982] some [5100] of [1537] them [846]. 45 11 15 For [1063] if [1487] the casting away [580] of them [846] be the reconciling [2643] of the world [2889], what [5101] shall the receiving [4356] of them be, but [1508] life [2222] from [1537] the dead [3498]? 45 11 16 For [1161] if [1487] the firstfruit [536] be holy [40], the lump [5445] is also [2532] holy: and [2532] if [1487] the root [4491] be holy [40], so [2532] are the branches [2798]. 45 11 17 And [1161] if some [1536] of the branches [2798] be broken off [1575], and [1161] thou [4771], being [5607] a wild olive tree [65], wert graffed in [1461] among [1722] them [846], and [2532] with [4791] them [1096] partakest [4791] of the root [4491] and [2532] fatness [4096] of the olive tree [1636]; 45 11 18 Boast [2620] not [3361] against [2620] the branches [2798]. But [1161] if [1487] thou boast [2620], thou [4771] bearest [941] not [3756] the root [4491], but [235] the root [4491] thee [4571]. 45 11 19 Thou wilt say [2046] then [3767], The branches [2798] were broken off [1575], that [2443] I [1473] might be graffed in [1461]. 45 11 20 Well [2573]; because of unbelief [570] they were broken off [1575], and [1161] thou [4771] standest [2476] by faith [4102]. Be [5309] not [3361] highminded [5309], but [235] fear [5399]: 45 11 21 For [1063] if [1487] God [2316] spared [5339] not [3756] the natural [5449] branches [2798] [2596], take heed lest [4458] [3381] he [5339] also [3381] spare [5339] not [3761] thee [4675]. 45 11 22 Behold [1492] therefore [3767] the goodness [5544] and [2532] severity [663] of God [2316]: on [1909] them which fell [4098] [3303], severity [663]; but [1161] toward [1909] thee [4571], goodness [5544], if [1437] thou continue [1961] in his goodness [5544]: otherwise [1893] thou [4771] also [2532] shalt be cut off [1581]. 45 11 23 And [1161] they [1565] also [2532], if [3362] they abide [1961] not [3362] still in unbelief [570], shall be graffed in [1461]: for [1063] God [2316] is [2076] able [1415] to graff [1461] them [846] in [1461] again [3825]. 45 11 24 For [1063] if [1487] thou [4771] wert cut [1581] out of [1537] the olive tree which is wild [65] by [2596] nature [5449], and [2532] wert graffed [1461] contrary to [3844] nature [5449] into [1519] a good olive tree [2565]: how much [4214] more [3123] shall these [3778], which be the natural [2596] [5449] branches, be graffed into [1461] their own [2398] olive tree [1636]? 45 11 25 For [1063] I would [2309] not [3756], brethren [80], that ye [5209] should be ignorant [50] of this [5124] mystery [3466], lest [3363] ye should be [5600] wise [5429] in [3844] your own conceits [1438]; that [3754] blindness [4457] in [575] part [3313] is happened [1096] to Israel [2474], until [891] [3739] the fulness [4138] of the Gentiles [1484] be come in [1525]. 45 11 26 And [2532] so [3779] all [3956] Israel [2474] shall be saved [4982]: as [2531] it is written [1125], There shall come [2240] out of [1537] Sion [4622] the Deliverer [4506], and [2532] shall turn away [654] ungodliness [763] from [575] Jacob [2384]: 45 11 27 For [2532] this [3778] is my [3844] [1700] covenant [1242] unto them [846], when [3752] I shall take away [851] their [846] sins [266]. 45 11 28 As concerning [2596] [3303] the gospel [2098], they are enemies [2190] for your sakes [1223] [5209]: but [1161] as touching [2596] the election [1589], they are beloved [27] for [1223] the fathers [3962]' sakes [1223]. 45 11 29 For [1063] the gifts [5486] and [2532] calling [2821] of God [2316] are without repentance [278]. 45 11 30 For [1063] as [5618] [2532] ye [5210] in times past [4218] have not believed [544] God [2316], yet [1161] have [1653] now [3568] obtained mercy [1653] through [5130] their unbelief [543]: 45 11 31 Even so [3779] have [544] these [3778] also [2532] now [3568] not believed [544], that [2443] through your [5212] mercy [1656] they [846] also [2532] may obtain mercy [1653]. 45 11 32 For [1063] God [2316] hath concluded [4788] them all [3956] in [1519] unbelief [543], that [2443] he might have mercy [1653] upon all [3956]. 45 11 33 O [5599] the depth [899] of the riches [4149] both [2532] of the wisdom [4678] and [2532] knowledge [1108] of God [2316]! how [5613] unsearchable [419] are his [846] judgments [2917], and [2532] his [846] ways [3598] past finding out [421]! 45 11 34 For [1063] who [5101] hath known [1097] the mind [3563] of the Lord [2962]? or [2228] who [5101] hath been [1096] his [846] counsellor [4825]? 45 11 35 Or [2228] who [5101] hath first given [4272] to him [846], and [2532] it shall be recompensed [467] unto him [846] again [467]? 45 11 36 For [3754] of [1537] him [846], and [2532] through [1223] him [846], and [2532] to [1519] him [846], are all things [3956]: to whom [846] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281]. 45 12 1 I beseech [3870] you [5209] therefore [3767], brethren [80], by [1223] the mercies [3628] of God [2316], that ye present [3936] your [5216] bodies [4983] a living [2198] sacrifice [2378], holy [40], acceptable [2101] unto God [2316], which is your [5216] reasonable [3050] service [2999]. 45 12 2 And [2532] be [4964] not [3361] conformed [4964] to this [5129] world [165]: but [235] be ye transformed [3339] by the renewing [342] of your [5216] mind [3563], that [1519] ye [5209] may prove [1381] what [5101] is that good [18], and [2532] acceptable [2101], and [2532] perfect [5046], will [2307] of God [2316]. 45 12 3 For [1063] I say [3004], through [1223] the grace [5485] given [1325] unto me [3427], to every man [3956] that is [5607] among [1722] you [5213], not [3361] to think of himself more [3844] highly [5252] than [3739] he ought [1163] to think [5426]; but [235] to think [5426] soberly [1519] [4993], according as [5613] God [2316] hath dealt [3307] to every man [1538] the measure [3358] of faith [4102]. 45 12 4 For [1063] as [2509] we have [2192] many [4183] members [3196] in [1722] one [1520] body [4983], and [1161] all [3956] members [3196] have [2192] not [3756] the same [846] office [4234]: 45 12 5 So [3779] we [2070], being many [4183], are [2070] one [1520] body [4983] in [1722] Christ [5547], and [1161] every [2596] one [1520] members [3196] one of another [240]. 45 12 6 Having [2192] then [1161] gifts [5486] differing [1313] according [2596] to the grace [5485] that is given [1325] to us [2254], whether [1535] prophecy [4394], let us prophesy according [2596] to the proportion [356] of faith [4102]; 45 12 7 Or [1535] ministry [1248], let us wait on [1722] our ministering [1248]: or [1535] he that teacheth [1321], on [1722] teaching [1319]; 45 12 8 Or [1535] he that exhorteth [3870], on [1722] exhortation [3874]: he that giveth [3330], let him do it with [1722] simplicity [572]; he that ruleth [4291], with [1722] diligence [4710]; he that sheweth mercy [1653], with [1722] cheerfulness [2432]. 45 12 9 Let love [26] be without dissimulation [505]. Abhor [655] that which is evil [4190]; cleave [2853] to that which is good [18]. 45 12 10 Be kindly affectioned [5387] one to another [1519] [240] with brotherly love [5360]; in honour [5092] preferring [4285] one another [240]; 45 12 11 Not [3361] slothful [3636] in business [4710]; fervent [2204] in spirit [4151]; serving [1398] the Lord [2962]; 45 12 12 Rejoicing [5463] in hope [1680]; patient [5278] in tribulation [2347]; continuing instant [4342] in prayer [4335]; 45 12 13 Distributing [2841] to the necessity [5532] of saints [40]; given [1377] to hospitality [5381]. 45 12 14 Bless [2127] them which persecute [1377] you [5209]: bless [2127], and [2532] curse [2672] not [3361]. 45 12 15 Rejoice [5463] with [3326] them that do rejoice [5463], and [2532] weep [2799] with [3326] them that weep [2799]. 45 12 16 Be of the same [846] mind [5426] one toward another [1519] [240]. Mind [5426] not [3361] high things [5308], but [235] condescend [4879] to men of low estate [5011]. Be [1096] not [3361] wise [5429] in [3844] your own conceits [1438]. 45 12 17 Recompense [591] to no man [3367] evil [2556] for [473] evil [2556]. Provide [4306] things honest [2570] in the sight [1799] of all [3956] men [444]. 45 12 18 If [1487] it be possible [1415], as much as lieth in [1537] you [5216], live peaceably [1514] with [3326] all [3956] men [444]. 45 12 19 Dearly beloved [27], avenge [1556] not [3361] yourselves [1438], but [235] rather give [1325] place [5117] unto wrath [3709]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Vengeance [1557] is mine [1698]; I [1473] will repay [467], saith [3004] the Lord [2962]. 45 12 20 Therefore [3767] if [1437] thine [4675] enemy [2190] hunger [3983], feed [5595] him [846]; if [1437] he thirst [1372], give [4222] him [846] drink [4222]: for [1063] in so [5124] doing [4160] thou shalt heap [4987] coals [440] of fire [4442] on [1909] his [846] head [2776]. 45 12 21 Be [3528] not [3361] overcome [3528] of [5259] evil [2556], but [235] overcome [3528] evil [2556] with [1722] good [18]. 45 13 1 Let every [3956] soul [5590] be subject [5293] unto the higher [5242] powers [1849]. For [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] power [1849] but [1508] of [575] God [2316]: [1161] the powers [1849] that be [5607] are [1526] ordained [5021] of [5259] God [2316]. 45 13 2 Whosoever therefore [5620] resisteth [498] the power [1849], resisteth [436] the ordinance [1296] of God [2316]: and [1161] they that resist [436] shall receive [2983] to themselves [1438] damnation [2917]. 45 13 3 For [1063] rulers [758] are [1526] not [3756] a terror [5401] to good [18] works [2041], but [235] to the evil [2556]. Wilt thou [2309] then [1161] not [3361] be afraid [5399] of the power [1849]? do [4160] that which is good [18], and [2532] thou shalt have [2192] praise [1868] of [1537] the same [846]: 45 13 4 For [1063] he is [2076] the minister [1249] of God [2316] to thee [4671] for [1519] good [18]. But [1161] if [1437] thou do [4160] that which is evil [2556], be afraid [5399]; for [1063] he beareth [5409] not [3756] the sword [3162] in vain [1500]: for [1063] he is [2076] the minister [1249] of God [2316], a revenger [1558] to execute wrath [3709] upon [1519] him that doeth [4238] evil [2556]. 45 13 5 Wherefore [1352] ye must needs [318] be subject [5293], not [3756] only [3440] for [1223] wrath [3709], but [235] also [2532] for conscience [4893] sake [1223]. 45 13 6 For [1063] for [1223] this [5124] cause [1223] pay ye [5055] tribute [5411] also [2532]: for [1063] they are [1526] God's [2316] ministers [3011], attending continually [4342] upon [1519] this [5124] very thing [846]. 45 13 7 Render [591] therefore [3767] to all [3956] their dues [3782]: tribute [5411] to whom [3588] tribute [5411] is due; custom [5056] to whom [3588] custom [5056]; fear [5401] to whom [3588] fear [5401]; honour [5092] to whom [3588] honour [5092]. 45 13 8 Owe [3784] no man [3367] any thing [3367], but [1508] to love [25] one another [240]: for [1063] he that loveth [25] another [2087] hath fulfilled [4137] the law [3551]. 45 13 9 For [1063] this, Thou shalt [3431] not [3756] commit adultery [3431], Thou shalt [5407] not [3756] kill [5407], Thou shalt [2813] not [3756] steal [2813], Thou shalt [5576] not [3756] bear false witness [5576], Thou shalt [1937] not [3756] covet [1937]; and [2532] if there be any [1536] other [2087] commandment [1785], it is briefly comprehended [346] in [1722] this [5129] saying [3056], namely [1722], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [1438]. 45 13 10 Love [26] worketh [2038] no [3756] ill [2556] to his neighbour [4139]: therefore [3767] love [26] is the fulfilling [4138] of the law [3551]. 45 13 11 And [2532] that [5124], knowing [1492] the time [2540], that [3754] now [2235] it is high time [5610] to awake [2248] [1453] out of [1537] sleep [5258]: for [1063] now [3568] is our [2257] salvation [4991] nearer [1452] than [2228] when [3753] we believed [4100]. 45 13 12 The night [3571] is far spent [4298], [1161] the day [2250] is at hand [1448]: let us [659] therefore [3767] cast off [659] the works [2041] of darkness [4655], and [2532] let us put on [1746] the armour [3696] of light [5457]. 45 13 13 Let us walk [4043] honestly [2156], as [5613] in [1722] the day [2250]; not [3361] in rioting [2970] and [2532] drunkenness [3178], not [3361] in chambering [2845] and [2532] wantonness [766], not [3361] in strife [2054] and [2532] envying [2205]. 45 13 14 But [235] put ye on [1746] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] make [4160] not [3361] provision [4307] for [1519] the flesh [4561], to fulfil the lusts [1939] thereof. 45 14 1 Him that is weak [770] in the faith [4102] receive ye [4355], but [1161] not [3361] to [1519] doubtful [1261] disputations [1253]. 45 14 2 For [3303] one [3739] believeth [4100] that he may eat [5315] all things [3956]: another [1161], who is weak [770], eateth [2068] herbs [3001]. 45 14 3 Let [1848] not [3361] him that eateth [2068] despise [1848] him that eateth [2068] not [3361]; and [2532] let [2068] not [3361] him which eateth [2068] not [3361] judge [2919] him that eateth [2068]: for [1063] God [2316] hath received [4355] him [846]. 45 14 4 Who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771] that judgest [2919] another man's [245] servant [3610]? to his own [2398] master [2962] he standeth [4739] or [2228] falleth [4098]. Yea [1161], he shall be holden up [2476]: for [1063] God [2316] is [2076] able [1415] to make [2476] him [846] stand [2476]. 45 14 5 One [3303] man [3739] esteemeth [2919] one day [2250] above [3844] another [2250]: [1161] another [3739] esteemeth [2919] every [3956] day [2250] alike. Let [4135] every man [1538] be fully persuaded [4135] in [1722] his own [2398] mind [3563]. 45 14 6 He that regardeth [5426] the day [2250], regardeth [5426] it unto the Lord [2962]; and [2532] he that regardeth [5426] not [3361] the day [2250], to the Lord [2962] he doth [5426] not [3756] regard [5426] it. He that eateth [2068], eateth [2068] to the Lord [2962], for [1063] he giveth God [2316] thanks [2168]; and [2532] he that eateth [2068] not [3361], to the Lord [2962] he eateth [2068] not [3756], and [2532] giveth God [2316] thanks [2168]. 45 14 7 For [1063] none [3762] of us [2257] liveth [2198] to himself [1438], and [2532] no man [3762] dieth [599] to himself [1438]. 45 14 8 For [1063] whether [1437] [5037] we live [2198], we live [2198] unto the Lord [2962]; and whether [1437] [5037] we die [599], we die [599] unto the Lord [2962]: whether [1437] [5037] we live [2198] therefore [3767], or [1437] [5037] die [599], we are [2070] the Lord's [2962]. 45 14 9 For [1063] to [1519] this [5124] end Christ [5547] both [2532] died [599], and [2532] rose [450], and [2532] revived [326], that [2443] he might be Lord [2961] both [2532] of the dead [3498] and [2532] living [2198]. 45 14 10 But [1161] why [5101] dost [2919] thou [4771] judge [2919] thy [4675] brother [80]? or [2228] [2532] why [5101] dost [1848] thou [4771] set at nought [1848] thy [4675] brother [80]? for [1063] we shall [3936] all [3956] stand before [3936] the judgment seat [968] of Christ [5547]. 45 14 11 For [1063] it is written [1125], As I [1473] live [2198], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], [3754] every [3956] knee [1119] shall bow [2578] to me [1698], and [2532] every [3956] tongue [1100] shall confess [1843] to God [2316]. 45 14 12 So [3767] then [686] every one [1538] of us [2257] shall give [1325] account [3056] of [4012] himself [1438] to God [2316]. 45 14 13 Let us [2919] not therefore [3767] judge [2919] one another [240] any more [3371]: but [235] judge [2919] this [5124] rather [3123], that no man [3361] put [5087] a stumblingblock [4348] or [2228] an occasion to fall [4625] in his brother's way [80]. 45 14 14 I know [1492], and [2532] am persuaded [3982] by [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that [3754] there is nothing [3762] unclean [2839] of [1223] itself [1438]: but [1508] to him that esteemeth [3049] any thing [5100] to be [1511] unclean [2839], to him [1565] it is unclean [2839]. 45 14 15 But [1161] if [1487] thy [4675] brother [80] be grieved [3076] with [1223] thy meat [1033], now [3765] walkest thou [4043] not [3765] charitably [26] [2596]. Destroy [622] not [3361] him [1565] with thy [4675] meat [1033], for [5228] whom [3739] Christ [5547] died [599]. 45 14 16 Let [987] not [3361] then [3767] your [5216] good [18] be evil spoken of [987]: 45 14 17 For [1063] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is [2076] not [3756] meat [1035] and [2532] drink [4213]; but [235] righteousness [1343], and [2532] peace [1515], and [2532] joy [5479] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 45 14 18 For [1063] he that in [1722] these things [5125] serveth [1398] Christ [5547] is acceptable [2101] to God [2316], and [2532] approved [1384] of men [444]. 45 14 19 Let us [1377] therefore [686] [3767] follow after [1377] the things which make for [3588] peace [1515], and [2532] things wherewith [1519] one [240] may edify [3619] another [240]. 45 14 20 For [1752] meat [1033] destroy [2647] not [3361] the work [2041] of God [2316]. All things [3956] indeed [3303] are pure [2513]; but [235] it is evil [2556] for that man [444] who eateth [2068] with [1223] offence [4348]. 45 14 21 It is good [2570] neither [3361] to eat [5315] flesh [2907], nor [3366] to drink [4095] wine [3631], nor [3366] any thing whereby [1722] [3739] thy [4675] brother [80] stumbleth [4350], or [2228] is offended [4624], or [2228] is made weak [770]. 45 14 22 Hast [2192] thou [4771] faith [4102]? have [2192] it to [2596] thyself [4572] before [1799] God [2316]. Happy [3107] is he that condemneth [2919] not [3361] himself [1438] in [1722] that thing which [3739] he alloweth [1381]. 45 14 23 And [1161] he that doubteth [1252] is damned [2632] if [1437] he eat [5315], because [3754] he eateth not [3756] of [1537] faith [4102]: for [1161] whatsoever [3739] [3956] is not [3756] of [1537] faith [4102] is [2076] sin [266]. 45 15 1 We [2249] then [1161] that are strong [1415] ought [3784] to bear [941] the infirmities [771] of the weak [102], and [2532] not [3361] to please [700] ourselves [1438]. 45 15 2 [1063] Let [700] every one [1538] of us [2257] please [700] his neighbour [4139] for [1519] his good [18] to [4314] edification [3619]. 45 15 3 For [1063] even [2532] Christ [5547] pleased [700] not [3756] himself [1438]; but [235], as [2531] it is written [1125], The reproaches [3680] of them that reproached [3679] thee [4571] fell [1968] on [1909] me [1691]. 45 15 4 For [1063] whatsoever things [3745] were written aforetime [4270] were written [4270] for [1519] our [2251] learning [1319], that [2443] we [2192] through [1223] patience [5281] and [2532] comfort [3874] of the scriptures [1124] might have [2192] hope [1680]. 45 15 5 Now [1161] the God [2316] of patience [5281] and [2532] consolation [3874] grant [1325] you [5213] to be [846] likeminded [5426] one [240] toward another [1722] [240] according [2596] to Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 45 15 6 That [2443] ye may [1392] with one mind [3661] and [1722] one [1520] mouth [4750] glorify [1392] God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 45 15 7 Wherefore [1352] receive ye [4355] one another [240], as [2531] [2532] Christ [5547] also [2531] received [4355] us [2248] to [1519] the glory [1391] of God [2316]. 45 15 8 Now [1161] I say [3004] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] was [1096] a minister [1249] of the circumcision [4061] for [5228] the truth [225] of God [2316], to [1519] confirm [950] the promises [1860] made unto the fathers [3962]: 45 15 9 And [1161] that the Gentiles [1484] might glorify [1392] God [2316] for [5228] his mercy [1656]; as [2531] it is written [1125], For [1223] this [5124] cause [1223] I will confess [1843] to thee [4671] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484], and [2532] sing [5567] unto thy [4675] name [3686]. 45 15 10 And [2532] again [3825] he saith [3004], Rejoice, ye [2165] Gentiles [1484], with [3326] his [846] people [2992]. 45 15 11 And [2532] again [3825], Praise [134] the Lord [2962], all [3956] ye [134] Gentiles [1484]; and [2532] laud [1867] him [846], all ye [3956] people [2992]. 45 15 12 And [2532] again [3825], Esaias [2268] saith [3004], There shall be [2071] a root [4491] of Jesse [2421], and [2532] he that shall rise [450] to reign over [757] the Gentiles [1484]; in [1909] him [846] shall [1679] the Gentiles [1484] trust [1679]. 45 15 13 Now [1161] the God [2316] of hope [1680] fill [4137] you [5209] with all [3956] joy [5479] and [2532] peace [1515] in [1722] believing [4100], that [1519] ye [5209] may abound [4052] in [1722] hope [1680], through [1722] the power [1411] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 45 15 14 And [1161] I [1473] myself [846] also [2532] am persuaded [3982] of [4012] you [5216], my [3450] brethren [80], that [3754] ye [846] also [2532] are [2075] full [3324] of goodness [19], filled [4137] with all [3956] knowledge [1108], able [1410] also [2532] to admonish [3560] one another [240]. 45 15 15 Nevertheless [1161], brethren [80], I have written [1125] the more boldly [5112] unto you [5213] in [575] some sort [3313], as [5613] putting [1878] you [5209] in mind [1878], because [1223] of the grace [5485] that is given [1325] to me [3427] of [5259] God [2316], 45 15 16 That I [3165] should be [1519] [1511] the minister [3011] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] to [1519] the Gentiles [1484], ministering [2418] the gospel [2098] of God [2316], that [2443] the offering up [4376] of the Gentiles [1484] might be [1096] acceptable [2144], being sanctified [37] by [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 45 15 17 I have [2192] therefore whereof [3767] I may glory [2746] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] in those things which pertain to [4314] God [2316]. 45 15 18 For [1063] I will [5111] not [3756] dare [5111] to speak [2980] of any [5100] of those things which [3739] Christ [5547] hath [2716] not [3756] wrought [2716] by [1223] me [1700], to make [1519] the Gentiles [1484] obedient [5218], by word [3056] and [2532] deed [2041], 45 15 19 Through [1722] mighty [1411] signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059], by [1722] the power [1411] of the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]; so [5620] that from [575] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] round about [2945] unto [3360] Illyricum [2437], I [3165] have fully preached [4137] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]. 45 15 20 Yea [1161], so [3779] have I strived [5389] to preach the gospel [2097], not [3756] where [3699] Christ [5547] was named [3687], lest [3363] I should build [3618] upon [1909] another man's [245] foundation [2310]: 45 15 21 But [235] as [2531] it is written [1125], To whom [3739] he [846] was [312] not [3756] spoken [312] of [4012], they shall see [3700]: and [2532] they [3739] that have [191] not [3756] heard [191] shall understand [4920]. 45 15 22 For which cause [1352] also [2532] I have been [1465] much [4183] hindered [1465] from coming [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. 45 15 23 But [1161] now [3570] having [2192] no more [3371] place [5117] in [1722] these [575] [5125] parts [2824], and [1161] having [2192] a great desire [1974] these many [4183] years [2094] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209]; 45 15 24 Whensoever [5613] [1437] I take my journey [4198] into [1519] Spain [4681], I will come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]: for [1063] I trust [1679] to see [2300] you [5209] in my journey [1279], and [2532] to be brought on my way [4311] thitherward [1563] by [5259] you [5216], if [1437] first [4412] I be [1705] somewhat [3313] filled [1705] with [575] your [5216] company. 45 15 25 But [1161] now [3570] I go [4198] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419] to minister [1247] unto the saints [40]. 45 15 26 For [1063] it hath pleased them [2106] of Macedonia [3109] and [2532] Achaia [882] to make [4160] a certain [5100] contribution [2842] for [1519] the poor [4434] saints [40] which [3588] are at [1722] Jerusalem [2419]. 45 15 27 It hath pleased them [2106] verily [1063]; and [2532] their [846] debtors [3781] they are [1526]. For [1063] if [1487] the Gentiles [1484] have been made partakers [2841] of their [846] spiritual things [4152], their duty is [3784] also [2532] to minister [3008] unto them [846] in [1722] carnal things [4559]. 45 15 28 When therefore [3767] I have performed [2005] this [5124], and [2532] have sealed [4972] to them [846] this [5126] fruit [2590], I will come [565] by [1223] you [5216] into [1519] Spain [4681]. 45 15 29 And [1161] I am sure [1492] that [3754], when I come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], I shall come [2064] in [1722] the fulness [4138] of the blessing [2129] of the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]. 45 15 30 Now [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], for [1223] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ's [5547] sake [2257], and [2532] for [1223] the love [26] of the Spirit [4151], that ye strive together [4865] with me [3427] in [1722] your prayers [4335] to [4314] God [2316] for [5228] me [1700]; 45 15 31 That [2443] I may be delivered [4506] from [575] them that do not believe [544] in [1722] Judaea [2449]; and [2532] that [2443] my [3450] service [1248] which [3588] I have for [1519] Jerusalem [2419] may be [1096] accepted [2144] of the saints [40]; 45 15 32 That [2443] I may come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] with [1722] joy [5479] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], and [2532] may [4875] with you [5213] be refreshed [4875]. 45 15 33 Now [1161] the God [2316] of peace [1515] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 45 16 1 [1161] I commend [4921] unto you [5213] Phebe [5402] our [2257] sister [79], which is [5607] a servant [1249] of the church [1577] which [3588] is at [1722] Cenchrea [2747]: 45 16 2 That [2443] ye receive [4327] her [846] in [1722] the Lord [2962], as becometh [516] saints [40], and [2532] that ye assist [3936] her [846] in [1722] whatsoever [3739] [302] business [4229] she hath need [5535] of you [5216]: for [1063] she [3778] [846] hath been [1096] a succourer [4368] of many [4183], and [2532] of myself [846] [1700] also [2532]. 45 16 3 Greet [782] Priscilla [4252] and [2532] Aquila [207] my [3450] helpers [4904] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 45 16 4 Who [3748] have [5294] for [5228] my [3450] life [5590] laid down [5294] their own [1438] necks [5137]: unto whom [3739] not [3756] only [3441] I [1473] give thanks [2168], but [235] also [2532] all [3956] the churches [1577] of the Gentiles [1484]. 45 16 5 Likewise [2532] greet the church [1577] that is in [2596] their [846] house [3624]. Salute [782] my [3450] wellbeloved [27] Epaenetus [1866], who [3739] is [2076] the firstfruits [536] of Achaia [882] unto [1519] Christ [5547]. 45 16 6 Greet [782] Mary [3137], who [3748] bestowed [2872] much [4183] labour [2872] on [1519] us [2248]. 45 16 7 Salute [782] Andronicus [408] and [2532] Junia [2458], my [3450] kinsmen [4773], and [2532] my [3450] fellowprisoners [4869], who [3748] are [1526] of note [1978] among [1722] the apostles [652], who [3739] also [2532] were [1096] in [1722] Christ [5547] before [4253] me [1700]. 45 16 8 Greet [782] Amplias [291] my [3450] beloved [27] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 45 16 9 Salute [782] Urbane [3773], our [2257] helper [4904] in [1722] Christ [5547], and [2532] Stachys [4720] my [3450] beloved [27]. 45 16 10 Salute [782] Apelles [559] approved [1384] in [1722] Christ [5547].

Salute [782] the beloved [27] Persis [4069], which [3748] laboured [2872] much [4183] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 45 16 13 Salute [782] Rufus [4504] chosen [1588] in [1722] the Lord [2962], and [2532] his [846] mother [3384] and [2532] mine [1700]. 45 16 14 Salute [782] Asyncritus [799], Phlegon [5393], Hermas [2057], Patrobas [3969], Hermes [2060], and [2532] the brethren [80] which are with [4862] them [846]. 45 16 15 Salute [782] Philologus [5378], and [2532] Julia [2456], Nereus [3517], and [2532] his [846] sister [79], and [2532] Olympas [3652], and [2532] all [3956] the saints [40] which are with [4862] them [846]. 45 16 16 Salute [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. The churches [1577] of Christ [5547] salute [782] you [5209]. 45 16 17 Now [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], mark [4648] them which cause [4160] divisions [1370] and [2532] offences [4625] contrary [3844] to the doctrine [1322] which [3739] ye [5210] have learned [3129]; and [2532] avoid [1578] them [575] [846]. 45 16 18 For [1063] they that are such [5108] serve [1398] not [3756] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], but [235] their own [1438] belly [2836]; and [2532] by [1223] good words [5542] and [2532] fair speeches [2129] deceive [1818] the hearts [2588] of the simple [172]. 45 16 19 For [1063] your [5216] obedience [5218] is come abroad [864] unto [1519] all [3956] men. I am glad [5463] therefore [3767] on [1909] your [5213] behalf [1909]: but yet [1161] I would have [2309] you [5209] wise [4680] unto [1519] that which is [1511] good [3303] [18], and [1161] simple [185] concerning [1519] evil [2556]. 45 16 20 And [1161] the God [2316] of peace [1515] shall bruise [4937] Satan [4567] under [5259] your [5216] feet [4228] shortly [1722] [5034]. The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216]. Amen [281]. 45 16 21 Timotheus [5095] my [3450] workfellow [4904], and [2532] Lucius [3066], and [2532] Jason [2394], and [2532] Sosipater [4989], my [3450] kinsmen [4773], salute [782] you [5209]. 45 16 22 I [1473] Tertius [5060], who wrote [1125] this epistle [1992], salute [782] you [5209] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 45 16 23 Gaius [1050] mine [3450] host [3581], and [2532] of the whole [3650] church [1577], saluteth [782] you [5209]. Erastus [2037] the chamberlain [3623] of the city [4172] saluteth [782] you [5209], and [2532] Quartus [2890] a brother [80]. 45 16 24 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 45 16 25 Now [1161] to him that is of power [1410] to stablish [4741] you [5209] according [2596] to my [3450] gospel [2098], and [2532] the preaching [2782] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], according [2596] to the revelation [602] of the mystery [3466], which was kept secret [4601] since the world began [5550] [166], 45 16 26 But [1161] now [3568] is made manifest [5319], and [5037] by [1223] the scriptures [1124] of the prophets [4397], according [2596] to the commandment [2003] of the everlasting [166] God [2316], made known [1107] to [1519] all [3956] nations [1484] for [1519] the obedience [5218] of faith [4102]: 45 16 27 To God [2316] only [3441] wise [4680], be glory [1391] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281]. 46 1 1 Paul [3972], called [2822] to be an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] through [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], and [2532] Sosthenes [4988] our brother [80], 46 1 2 Unto the church [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] is [5607] at [1722] Corinth [2882], to them that are sanctified [37] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], called [2822] to be saints [40], with [4862] all [3956] that in [1722] every [3956] place [5117] call upon [1941] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962], both [5037] theirs [846] and [2532] ours [2257]: 46 1 3 Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] from the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 46 1 4 I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] always [3842] on [4012] your [5216] behalf [4012], for [1909] the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] you [5213] by [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; 46 1 5 That [3754] in [1722] every thing [3956] ye are enriched [4148] by [1722] him [846], in [1722] all [3956] utterance [3056], and [2532] in all [3956] knowledge [1108]; 46 1 6 Even as [2531] the testimony [3142] of Christ [5547] was confirmed [950] in [1722] you [5213]: 46 1 7 So that [5620] ye [5209] come behind [5302] in [1722] no [3361] [3367] gift [5486]; waiting for [553] the coming [602] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 46 1 8 Who [3739] shall [950] also [2532] confirm [950] you [5209] unto [2193] the end [5056], that ye may be blameless [410] in [1722] the day [2250] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 46 1 9 God [2316] is faithful [4103], by [1223] whom [3739] ye were called [2564] unto [1519] the fellowship [2842] of his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 46 1 10 Now [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], by [1223] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] ye [3004] all [3956] speak [3004] the same thing [846], and [2532] that there be [5600] no [3361] divisions [4978] among [1722] you [5213]; but [1161] that ye be [5600] perfectly joined together [2675] in [1722] the same [846] mind [3563] and [2532] in [1722] the same [846] judgment [1106]. 46 1 11 For [1063] it hath been declared [1213] unto me [3427] of [4012] you [5216], my [3450] brethren [80], by [5259] them which are of the house [3588] of Chloe [5514], that [3754] there are [1526] contentions [2054] among [1722] you [5213]. 46 1 12 Now [1161] this [5124] I say [3004], that [3754] every one [1538] of you [5216] saith [3004], I [1473] [3303] am [1510] of Paul [3972]; and [1161] I [1473] of Apollos [625]; and [1161] I [1473] of Cephas [2786]; and [1161] I [1473] of Christ [5547]. 46 1 13 Is [3307] Christ [5547] divided [3307]? [3361] was [4717] Paul [3972] crucified [4717] for [5228] you [5216]? or [2228] were ye baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of Paul [3972]? 46 1 14 I thank [2168] God [2316] that [3754] I baptized [907] none [3762] of you [5216], but [1508] Crispus [2921] and [2532] Gaius [1050]; 46 1 15 Lest [3363] any [5100] should say [2036] that [3754] I had baptized [907] in [1519] mine own [1699] name [3686]. 46 1 16 And [1161] I baptized [907] also [2532] the household [3624] of Stephanas [4734]: besides [3063], I know [1492] not [3756] whether I baptized [907] any [1536] other [243]. 46 1 17 For [1063] Christ [5547] sent [649] me [3165] not [3756] to baptize [907], but [235] to preach the gospel [2097]: not [3756] with [1722] wisdom [4678] of words [3056], lest [3363] the cross [4716] of Christ [5547] should be made of none effect [2758]. 46 1 18 For [1063] the preaching [3056] of the cross [4716] is [2076] to them [3303] that perish [622] foolishness [3472]; but [1161] unto us [2254] which are saved [4982] it is [2076] the power [1411] of God [2316]. 46 1 19 For [1063] it is written [1125], I will destroy [622] the wisdom [4678] of the wise [4680], and [2532] will bring to nothing [114] the understanding [4907] of the prudent [4908]. 46 1 20 Where [4226] is the wise [4680]? where [4226] is the scribe [1122]? where [4226] is the disputer [4804] of this [5127] world [165]? hath [3471] not [3780] God [2316] made foolish [3471] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [2889]? 46 1 21 For [1063] after [1894] that in [1722] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316] the world [2889] by [1223] wisdom [4678] knew [1097] not [3756] God [2316], it pleased [2106] God [2316] by [1223] the foolishness [3472] of preaching [2782] to save [4982] them that believe [4100]. 46 1 22 For [2532] [1894] the Jews [2453] require [154] a sign [4592], and [2532] the Greeks [1672] seek [2212] after wisdom [4678]: 46 1 23 But [1161] we [2249] preach [2784] Christ [5547] crucified [4717], unto the Jews [2453] a stumblingblock [3303] [4625], and [1161] unto the Greeks [1672] foolishness [3472]; 46 1 24 But [1161] unto them [846] which [3588] are called [2822], both [5037] Jews [2453] and [2532] Greeks [1672], Christ [5547] the power [1411] of God [2316], and [2532] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316]. 46 1 25 Because [3754] the foolishness [3474] of God [2316] is [2076] wiser than [4680] men [444]; and [2532] the weakness [772] of God [2316] is [2076] stronger than [2478] men [444]. 46 1 26 For [1063] ye see [991] your [5216] calling [2821], brethren [80], how that [3754] not [3756] many [4183] wise men [4680] after [2596] the flesh [4561], not [3756] many [4183] mighty [1415], not [3756] many [4183] noble [2104], are called: 46 1 27 But [235] God [2316] hath chosen [1586] the foolish things [3474] of the world [2889] to [2443] confound [2617] the wise [4680]; and [2532] God [2316] hath chosen [1586] the weak things [772] of the world [2889] to [2443] confound [2617] the things which are mighty [2478]; 46 1 28 And [2532] base things [36] of the world [2889], and [2532] things which are despised [1848], hath [1586] God [2316] chosen [1586], yea, and [2532] things which [3588] are [5607] not [3361], to [2443] bring to nought [2673] things that are [5607]: 46 1 29 That [3704] no [3361] [3956] flesh [4561] should glory [2744] in his presence [1799] [846]. 46 1 30 But [1161] of [1537] him [846] are [2075] ye [5210] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], who [3739] of [575] God [2316] is made [1096] unto us [2254] [5037] wisdom [4678], and righteousness [1343], and [2532] sanctification [38], and [2532] redemption [629]: 46 1 31 That [2443], according as [2531] it is written [1125], He that glorieth [2744], let him glory [2744] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 46 2 1 And I [2504], brethren [80], when I came [2064] to [4314] you [5209], came [2064] not [3756] with [2596] excellency [5247] of speech [3056] or [2228] of wisdom [4678], declaring [2605] unto you [5213] the testimony [3142] of God [2316]. 46 2 2 For [1063] I determined [2919] not [3756] to know [1492] any thing [5100] among [1722] you [5213], save [1508] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] him [5126] crucified [4717]. 46 2 3 And [2532] I [1473] was [1096] with [4314] you [5209] in [1722] weakness [769], and [2532] in [1722] fear [5401], and [2532] in [1722] much [4183] trembling [5156]. 46 2 4 And [2532] my [3450] speech [3056] and [2532] my [3450] preaching [2782] was not [3756] with [1722] enticing [3981] words [3056] of man's [442] wisdom [4678], but [235] in [1722] demonstration [585] of the Spirit [4151] and [2532] of power [1411]: 46 2 5 That [2443] your [5216] faith [4102] should [5600] not [3361] stand [5600] in [1722] the wisdom [4678] of men [444], but [235] in [1722] the power [1411] of God [2316]. 46 2 6 Howbeit [1161] we speak [2980] wisdom [4678] among [1722] them that are perfect [5046]: yet [1161] not [3756] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [165], nor [3761] of the princes [758] of this [5127] world [165], that come to nought [2673]: 46 2 7 But [235] we speak [2980] the wisdom [4678] of God [2316] in [1722] a mystery [3466], even the hidden [613] wisdom, which [3739] God [2316] ordained [4309] before [4253] the world [165] unto [1519] our [2257] glory [1391]: 46 2 8 Which [3739] none [3762] of the princes [758] of this [5127] world [165] knew [1097]: for [1487] [1063] had they known [1097] it, they [302] would [4717] not [3756] have crucified [4717] the Lord [2962] of glory [1391]. 46 2 9 But [235] as [2531] it is written [1125], [3739] Eye [3788] hath [1492] not [3756] seen [1492], nor [2532] [3756] ear [3775] heard [191], neither [2532] [3756] have entered [305] into [1909] the heart [2588] of man [444], the things which [3739] God [2316] hath prepared [2090] for them that love [25] him [846]. 46 2 10 But [1161] God [2316] hath revealed [601] them unto us [2254] by [1223] his [846] Spirit [4151]: for [1063] the Spirit [4151] searcheth [2045] all things [3956], yea [2532], the deep things [899] of God [2316]. 46 2 11 For [1063] what [5101] man [444] knoweth [1492] the things [3588] of a man [444], save [1508] the spirit [4151] of man [444] which [3588] is in [1722] him [846]? even [2532] so [3779] the things [3588] of God [2316] knoweth [1492] no man [3762], but [1508] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]. 46 2 12 Now [1161] we [2249] have received [2983], not [3756] the spirit [4151] of the world [2889], but [235] the spirit [4151] which [3588] is of [1537] God [2316]; that [2443] we might know [1492] the things that are freely given [5483] to us [2254] of [5259] God [2316]. 46 2 13 Which things [3739] also [2532] we speak [2980], not [3756] in [1722] the words [3056] which man's [442] wisdom [4678] teacheth [1318], but [235] which the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] teacheth [1722] [1318]; comparing [4793] spiritual things [4152] with spiritual [4152]. 46 2 14 But [1161] the natural [5591] man [444] receiveth [1209] not [3756] the things [3588] of the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]: for [1063] they are [2076] foolishness [3472] unto him [846]: neither [2532] [3756] can [1410] he know [1097] them, because [3754] they are spiritually [4153] discerned [350]. 46 2 15 But [1161] he that is spiritual [4152] judgeth [350] [3303] all things [3956], yet [1161] he himself [846] is judged [350] of [5259] no man [3762]. 46 2 16 For [1063] who [5101] hath known [1097] the mind [3563] of the Lord [2962], that [3739] he may instruct [4822] him [846]? But [1161] we [2249] have [2192] the mind [3563] of Christ [5547]. 46 3 1 And [2532] I [1473], brethren [80], could [1410] not [3756] speak [2980] unto you [5213] as [5613] unto spiritual [4152], but [235] as [5613] unto carnal [4559], even as [5613] unto babes [3516] in [1722] Christ [5547]. 46 3 2 I have fed [4222] you [5209] with milk [1051], and [2532] not [3756] with meat [1033]: for [1063] hitherto [3768] ye were [1410] not [3768] able [1410] to bear it, neither [235] [3777] yet [2089] now [3568] are ye able [1410]. 46 3 3 For [1063] ye are [2075] yet [2089] carnal [4559]: for [1063] whereas [3699] there is among [1722] you [5213] envying [2205], and [2532] strife [2054], and [2532] divisions [1370], are ye [2075] not [3780] carnal [4559], and [2532] walk [4043] as [2596] men [444]? 46 3 4 For [1063] while [3752] one [5100] saith [3004], I [1473] [3303] am [1510] of Paul [3972]; and [1161] another [2087], I [1473] am of Apollos [625]; are [2075] ye not [3780] carnal [4559]? 46 3 5 Who [5101] then [3767] is [2076] Paul [3972], and [1161] who [5101] is Apollos [625], but [235] [2228] ministers [1249] by [1223] whom [3739] ye believed [4100], even [2532] as [5613] the Lord [2962] gave [1325] to every man [1538]? 46 3 6 I [1473] have planted [5452], Apollos [625] watered [4222]; but [235] God [2316] gave the increase [837]. 46 3 7 So [5620] then neither [3777] is [2076] he that planteth [5452] any thing [5100], neither [3777] he that watereth [4222]; but [235] God [2316] that giveth the increase [837]. 46 3 8 Now [1161] he that planteth [5452] and [2532] he that watereth [4222] are [1526] one [1520]: and [1161] every man [1538] shall receive [2983] his own [2398] reward [3408] according [2596] to his own [2398] labour [2873]. 46 3 9 For [1063] we are [2070] labourers together [4904] with God [2316]: ye are [2075] God's [2316] husbandry [1091], ye are God's [2316] building [3619]. 46 3 10 According [2596] to the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] unto me [3427], as [5613] a wise [4680] masterbuilder [753], I have laid [5087] the foundation [2310], and [1161] another [243] buildeth [2026] thereon. But [1161] let [991] every man [1538] take heed [991] how [4459] he buildeth [2026] thereupon. 46 3 11 For [1063] other [243] foundation [2310] can [1410] no man [3762] lay [5087] than [3844] that is laid [2749], which [3739] is [2076] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 46 3 12 Now [1161] if any man [1536] build [2026] upon [1909] this [5126] foundation [2310] gold [5557], silver [696], precious [5093] stones [3037], wood [3586], hay [5528], stubble [2562]; 46 3 13 Every man's [1538] work [2041] shall be made [1096] manifest [5318]: for [1063] the day [2250] shall declare [1213] it, because [3754] it shall be revealed [601] by [1722] fire [4442]; and [2532] the fire [4442] shall try [1381] every man's [1538] work [2041] of what sort [3697] it is [2076]. 46 3 14 If any man's [1536] work [2041] abide [3306] which [3739] he hath built [2026] thereupon, he shall receive [2983] a reward [3408]. 46 3 15 If any man's [1536] work [2041] shall be burned [2618], he shall suffer loss [2210]: but [1161] he himself [846] shall be saved [4982]; yet [1161] so [3779] as [5613] by [1223] fire [4442]. 46 3 16 Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] ye are [2075] the temple [3485] of God [2316], and [2532] that the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] dwelleth [3611] in [1722] you [5213]? 46 3 17 If any man [1536] defile [5351] the temple [3485] of God [2316], him [5126] shall [5351] God [2316] destroy [5351]; for [1063] the temple [3485] of God [2316] is [2076] holy [40], which [3748] temple ye [5210] are [2075]. 46 3 18 Let [1818] no man [3367] deceive [1818] himself [1438]. If any man [1536] among [1722] you [5213] seemeth [1380] to be [1511] wise [4680] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], let him become [1096] a fool [3474], that [2443] he may be [1096] wise [4680]. 46 3 19 For [1063] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [2889] is [2076] foolishness [3472] with [3844] God [2316]. For [1063] it is written [1125], He taketh [1405] the wise [4680] in [1722] their own [846] craftiness [3834]. 46 3 20 And [2532] again [3825], The Lord [2962] knoweth [1097] the thoughts [1261] of the wise [4680], that [3754] they are [1526] vain [3152]. 46 3 21 Therefore [5620] let [2744] no man [3367] glory [2744] in [1722] men [444]. For [1063] all things [3956] are [2076] yours [5216]; 46 3 22 Whether [1535] Paul [3972], or [1535] Apollos [625], or [1535] Cephas [2786], or [1535] the world [2889], or [1535] life [2222], or [1535] death [2288], or [1535] things present [1764], or [1535] things to come [3195]; all [3956] are [2076] yours [5216]; 46 3 23 And [1161] ye [5210] are Christ's [5547]; and [1161] Christ [5547] is God's [2316]. 46 4 1 Let [3049] a man [444] so [3779] account [3049] of us [2248], as [5613] of the ministers [5257] of Christ [5547], and [2532] stewards [3623] of the mysteries [3466] of God [2316]. 46 4 2 [3739] [1161] Moreover [3063] it is required [2212] in [1722] stewards [3623], that [2443] a man [5100] be found [2147] faithful [4103]. 46 4 3 But [1161] with me [1698] it is [2076] a very small thing [1519] [1646] that [2443] I should be judged [350] of [5259] you [5216], or [2228] of [5259] man's [442] judgment [2250]: yea [235], I judge [350] not [3761] mine own self [1683]. 46 4 4 For [1063] I know [4894] nothing [3762] by myself [1683]; yet [235] am I [1344] not [3756] hereby [1722] [5129] justified [1344]: but [1161] he that judgeth [350] me [3165] is [2076] the Lord [2962]. 46 4 5 Therefore [5620] judge [2919] nothing [3361] [5100] before [4253] the time [2540], until [2193] [302] the Lord [2962] come [2064], who [3739] both [2532] will bring to light [5461] the hidden things [2927] of darkness [4655], and [2532] will make manifest [5319] the counsels [1012] of the hearts [2588]: and [2532] then [5119] shall every man [1538] have [1096] praise [1868] of [575] God [2316]. 46 4 6 And [1161] these things [5023], brethren [80], I have in a figure transferred [3345] to [1519] myself [1683] and [2532] to Apollos [625] for [1223] your sakes [5209]; that [2443] ye might learn [3129] in [1722] us [2254] not [3361] to think [5426] of men above [5228] that [2443] which [3739] is written [1125], that no [3363] one [1520] of you be puffed up [5448] for [5228] one [1520] against [2596] another [2087]. 46 4 7 For [1063] who [5101] maketh [1252] thee [4571] to differ [1252] from another? and [1161] what [5101] hast thou [2192] that [3739] thou didst [2983] not [3756] receive [2983]? [1161] now if [1499] thou didst receive [2983] it, why [5101] dost thou glory [2744], as [5613] if thou hadst [2983] not [3361] received [2983] it? 46 4 8 Now [2235] ye are [2075] full [2880], now [2235] ye are rich [4147], ye have reigned as kings [936] without [5565] us [2257]: and [2532] I would to God [3785] [1065] ye did reign [936], that [2443] we [2249] also [2532] might reign with [4821] you [5213]. 46 4 9 For [1063] I think [1380] that [3754] God [2316] hath set forth [584] us [2248] the apostles [652] last [2078], as [5613] it were appointed to death [1935]: for [3754] we are made [1096] a spectacle [2302] unto the world [2889], and [2532] to angels [32], and [2532] to men [444]. 46 4 10 We [2249] are fools [3474] for [1223] Christ's [5547] sake [1223], but [1161] ye [5210] are wise [5429] in [1722] Christ [5547]; we [2249] are weak [772], but [1161] ye [5210] are strong [2478]; ye [5210] are honourable [1741], but [1161] we [2249] are despised [820]. 46 4 11 Even [891] unto this present [737] hour [5610] we [3983] both [2532] hunger [3983], and [2532] thirst [1372], and [2532] are naked [1130], and [2532] are buffeted [2852], and [2532] have no certain dwellingplace [790]; 46 4 12 And [2532] labour [2872], working [2038] with our own [2398] hands [5495]: being reviled [3058], we bless [2127]; being persecuted [1377], we suffer it [430]: 46 4 13 Being defamed [987], we intreat [3870]: we are made [1096] as [5613] the filth [4027] of the world [2889], and are the offscouring [4067] of all things [3956] unto [2193] this day [737]. 46 4 14 I write [1125] not [3756] these things [5023] to shame [1788] you [5209], but [235] as [5613] my [3450] beloved [27] sons [5043] I warn [3560] you. 46 4 15 For [1063] though [1437] ye have [2192] ten thousand [3463] instructors [3807] in [1722] Christ [5547], yet [235] have ye not [3756] many [4183] fathers [3962]: for [1063] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] I [1473] have begotten [1080] you [5209] through [1223] the gospel [2098]. 46 4 16 Wherefore [3767] I beseech [3870] you [5209], be ye [1096] followers [3402] of me [3450]. 46 4 17 For [1223] this [5124] cause [1223] have I sent [3992] unto you [5213] Timotheus [5095], who [3739] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] son [5043], and [2532] faithful [4103] in [1722] the Lord [2962], who [3739] shall bring [363] you [5209] into remembrance [363] of my [3450] ways [3598] which [3588] be in [1722] Christ [5547], as [2531] I teach [1321] every where [3837] in [1722] every [3956] church [1577]. 46 4 18 Now [1161] some [5100] are puffed up [5448], as though [5613] I [3450] would [2064] not [3361] come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. 46 4 19 But [1161] I will come [2064] to [4314] you [5209] shortly [5030], if [1437] the Lord [2962] will [2309], and [2532] will know [1097], not [3756] the speech [3056] of them which are puffed up [5448], but [235] the power [1411]. 46 4 20 For [1063] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] is not [3756] in [1722] word [3056], but [235] in [1722] power [1411]. 46 4 21 What [5101] will ye [2309]? shall I come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] with [1722] a rod [4464], or [2228] in [1722] love [26], and [5037] in the spirit [4151] of meekness [4236]? 46 5 1 It is reported [191] commonly [3654] that there is fornication [4202] among [1722] you [5213], and [2532] such [5108] fornication [4202] as [3748] is [3687] not so much [3761] as named [3687] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484], that [5620] one [5100] should have [2192] his father's [3962] wife [1135]. 46 5 2 And [2532] ye [5210] are [2075] puffed up [5448], and [2532] have [3996] not [3780] rather [3123] mourned [3996], that [2443] he that hath done [4160] this [5124] deed [2041] might be taken away [1808] from [1537] among [3319] you [5216]. 46 5 3 For [1063] I [1473] verily [3303], as [5613] absent [548] in body [4983], but [1161] present [3918] in spirit [4151], have judged [2919] already [2235], as [5613] though I were present [3918], concerning him that hath [2716] so [3779] done [2716] this deed [5124], 46 5 4 In [1722] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], when ye [5216] are gathered together [4863], and [2532] my [1699] spirit [4151], with [4862] the power [1411] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], 46 5 5 To deliver [3860] such an one [5108] unto Satan [4567] for [1519] the destruction [3639] of the flesh [4561], that [2443] the spirit [4151] may be saved [4982] in [1722] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 46 5 6 Your [5216] glorying [2745] is not [3756] good [2570]. Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] a little [3398] leaven [2219] leaveneth [2220] the whole [3650] lump [5445]? 46 5 7 Purge out [1571] therefore [3767] the old [3820] leaven [2219], that [2443] ye may be [5600] a new [3501] lump [5445], as [2531] ye are [2075] unleavened [106]. For [1063] even [2532] Christ [5547] our [2257] passover [3957] is sacrificed [2380] for [5228] us [2257]: 46 5 8 Therefore [5620] let us keep the feast [1858], not [3361] with [1722] old [3820] leaven [2219], neither [3366] with [1722] the leaven [2219] of malice [2549] and [2532] wickedness [4189]; but [235] with [1722] the unleavened [106] bread of sincerity [1505] and [2532] truth [225]. 46 5 9 I wrote [1125] unto you [5213] in [1722] an epistle [1992] not [3361] to company [4874] with fornicators [4205]: 46 5 10 Yet [2532] not [3756] altogether [3843] with the fornicators [4205] of this [5127] world [2889], or [2228] with the covetous [4123], or [2228] extortioners [727], or [2228] with idolaters [1496]; for [1893] then [686] must ye needs [3784] go [1831] out of [1537] the world [2889]. 46 5 11 But [1161] now [3570] I have written [1125] unto you [5213] not [3361] to keep company [4874], if [1437] any man [5100] that is called [3687] a brother [80] be [2228] a fornicator [4205], or [2228] covetous [4123], or [2228] an idolater [1496], or [2228] a railer [3060], or [2228] a drunkard [3183], or [2228] an extortioner [727]; with such an one [5108] no not [3366] to eat [4906]. 46 5 12 For [1063] what [5101] have I [3427] to do to judge [2919] them also [2532] that are without [1854]? do [2919] not [3780] ye [5210] judge [2919] them that are within [2080]? 46 5 13 But [1161] them that are without [1854] God [2316] judgeth [2919]. Therefore [2532] put away [1808] from [1537] among yourselves [5216] that [846] wicked person [4190]. 46 6 1 Dare [5111] any [5100] of you [5216], having [2192] a matter [4229] against [4314] another [2087], go to law [2919] before [1909] the unjust [94], and [2532] not [3780] before [1909] the saints [40]? 46 6 2 Do ye [1492] not [3756] know [1492] that [3754] the saints [40] shall judge [2919] the world [2889]? and [2532] if [1487] the world [2889] shall be judged [2919] by [1722] you [5213], are ye [2075] unworthy [370] to judge [2922] the smallest matters [1646]? 46 6 3 Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] we shall judge [2919] angels [32]? how much more [3386] [1065] things that pertain to this life [982]? 46 6 4 If [1437] then [3303] [3767] ye have [2192] judgments [2922] of things pertaining to this life [982], set [2523] them [5128] to judge who are least esteemed [1848] in [1722] the church [1577]. 46 6 5 I speak [3004] to [4314] your [5213] shame [1791]. Is it so [3779], that there [2076] is not [3756] a wise man [4680] among [1722] you [5213]? no, not [3761] one [1520] that [3739] shall be able [1410] to judge [1252] between [303] [3319] his [846] brethren [80]? 46 6 6 But [235] brother [80] goeth to law [2919] with [3326] brother [80], and [2532] that [5124] before [1909] the unbelievers [571]. 46 6 7 Now [2235] therefore [3303] [3767] there is [2076] utterly [3654] a fault [2275] among [1722] you [5213], because [3754] ye go [2192] to law [2917] one with [3326] another [1438]. Why [1302] do ye [91] not [3780] rather [3123] take wrong [91]? why [1302] do ye [650] not [3780] rather [3123] suffer yourselves to be defrauded [650]? 46 6 8 Nay [235], ye [5210] do wrong [91], and [2532] defraud [650], and [2532] that [5023] your brethren [80]. 46 6 9 [2228] Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] the unrighteous [94] shall [2816] not [3756] inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]? Be [4105] not [3361] deceived [4105]: neither [3777] fornicators [4205], nor [3777] idolaters [1496], nor [3777] adulterers [3432], nor [3777] effeminate [3120], nor [3777] abusers of themselves with mankind [733], 46 6 10 Nor [3777] thieves [2812], nor [3777] covetous [4123], nor [3777] drunkards [3183], nor [3756] revilers [3060], nor [3756] extortioners [727], shall inherit [3756] [2816] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 46 6 11 And [2532] such [5023] were [2258] some of you [5100]: but [235] ye are washed [628], but [235] ye are sanctified [37], but [235] ye are justified [1344] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] of our [2257] God [2316]. 46 6 12 All things [3956] are lawful [1832] unto me [3427], but [235] all things [3956] are [4851] not [3756] expedient [4851]: all things [3956] are lawful [1832] for me [3427], but [235] I [1473] will [1850] not [3756] be brought under the power [1850] of [5259] any [5100]. 46 6 13 Meats [1033] for the belly [2836], and [2532] the belly [2836] for meats [1033]: but [1161] God [2316] shall destroy [2673] both [2532] it [5026] and [2532] them [5023]. Now [1161] the body [4983] is not [3756] for fornication [4202], but [235] for the Lord [2962]; and [2532] the Lord [2962] for the body [4983]. 46 6 14 And [1161] God [2316] hath [1453] both [2532] raised up [1453] the Lord [2962], and [2532] will [1825] also [2532] raise up [1825] us [2248] by [1223] his own [846] power [1411]. 46 6 15 Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] your [5216] bodies [4983] are [2076] the members [3196] of Christ [5547]? shall I [142] then [3767] take [142] the members [3196] of Christ [5547], and make [4160] them the members [3196] of an harlot [4204]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. 46 6 16 What [2228]? know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] he which is joined [2853] to an harlot [4204] is [2076] one [1520] body [4983]? for [1063] two [1417], saith he [5346], shall be [2071] one [1519] [3391] flesh [4561]. 46 6 17 But [1161] he that is joined [2853] unto the Lord [2962] is [2076] one [1520] spirit [4151]. 46 6 18 Flee [5343] fornication [4202]. Every [3956] sin [265] that [3739] [1437] a man [444] doeth [4160] is [2076] without [1622] the body [4983]; but [1161] he that committeth fornication [4203] sinneth [264] against [1519] his own [2398] body [4983]. 46 6 19 What [2228]? know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] your [5216] body [4983] is [2076] the temple [3485] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] which is in [1722] you [5213], which [3739] ye have [2192] of [575] God [2316], and [2532] ye are [2075] not [3756] your own [1438]? 46 6 20 For [1063] ye are bought [59] with a price [5092]: therefore [1211] glorify [1392] God [2316] in [1722] your [5216] body [4983], and [2532] in [1722] your [5216] spirit [4151], which [3748] are [2076] God's [2316]. 46 7 1 Now [1161] concerning [4012] the things whereof [3739] ye wrote [1125] unto me [3427]: It is good [2570] for a man [444] not [3361] to touch [680] a woman [1135]. 46 7 2 Nevertheless [1223] [1161], to avoid fornication [4202], let [2192] every man [1538] have [2192] his own [1438] wife [1135], and [2532] let [2192] every woman [1538] have [2192] her own [2398] husband [435]. 46 7 3 Let [591] the husband [435] render [591] unto the wife [1135] due [3784] benevolence [2133]: and [1161] likewise [3668] also [2532] the wife [1135] unto the husband [435]. 46 7 4 The wife [1135] hath [1850] not [3756] power [1850] of her own [2398] body [4983], but [235] the husband [435]: and [1161] likewise [3668] also [2532] the husband [435] hath [1850] not [3756] power [1850] of his own [2398] body [4983], but [235] the wife [1135]. 46 7 5 Defraud ye [650] not [3361] one the other [240], except [1509] [302] it be [5100] with [1537] consent [4859] for [4314] a time [2540], that [2443] ye may give yourselves [4980] to fasting [3521] and [2532] prayer [4335]; and [2532] come [4905] together [1909] [846] again [3825], that [3363] Satan [4567] tempt [3985] you [5209] not [3363] for [1223] your [5216] incontinency [192]. 46 7 6 But [1161] I speak [3004] this [5124] by [2596] permission [4774], and not [3756] of [2596] commandment [2003]. 46 7 7 For [1063] I would [2309] that all [3956] men [444] were [1511] even [2532] as [5613] I myself [1683]. But [235] every man [1538] hath [2192] his proper [2398] gift [5486] of [1537] God [2316], one [3739] [3303] after this manner [3779], and [1161] another [3739] after that [3779]. 46 7 8 I say [3004] therefore [1161] to the unmarried [22] and [2532] widows [5503], It is [2076] good [2570] for them [846] if [1437] they abide [3306] even [2504] as [5613] I [2504]. 46 7 9 But [1161] if [1487] they [1467] cannot [3756] contain [1467], let them marry [1060]: for [1063] it is [2076] better [2909] to marry [1060] than [2228] to burn [4448]. 46 7 10 And [1161] unto the married [1060] I command [3853], yet not [3756] I [1473], but [235] the Lord [2962], Let [5563] not [3361] the wife [1135] depart [5563] from [575] her husband [435]: 46 7 11 But [1161] and [2532] if [1437] she depart [5563], let her remain [3306] unmarried [22], or [2228] be reconciled [2644] to her husband [435]: and [2532] let [863] not [3361] the husband [435] put away [863] his wife [1135]. 46 7 12 But [1161] to the rest [3062] speak [3004] I [1473], not [3756] the Lord [2962]: If any [1536] brother [80] hath [2192] a wife [1135] that believeth not [571], and [2532] she [846] be pleased [4909] to dwell [3611] with [3326] him [846], let him [863] not [3361] put [863] her [846] away [863]. 46 7 13 And [2532] the woman [1135] which [3748] hath [2192] an husband [435] that believeth not [571], and [2532] if he [846] be pleased [4909] to dwell [3611] with [3326] her [846], let her [863] not [3361] leave [863] him [846]. 46 7 14 For [1063] the unbelieving [571] husband [435] is sanctified [37] by [1722] the wife [1135], and [2532] the unbelieving [571] wife [1135] is sanctified [37] by [1722] the husband [435]: else [686] [1893] were [2076] your [5216] children [5043] unclean [169]; but [1161] now [3568] are they [2076] holy [40]. 46 7 15 But [1161] if [1487] the unbelieving [571] depart [5563], let him depart [5563]. A brother [80] or [2228] a sister [79] is [1402] not [3756] under bondage [1402] in [1722] such [5108] cases: but [1161] God [2316] hath called [2564] us [2248] to [1722] peace [1515]. 46 7 16 For [1063] what [5101] knowest thou [1492], O wife [1135], whether [1487] thou shalt save [4982] thy husband [435]? or [2228] how [5101] knowest thou [1492], O man [435], whether [1487] thou shalt save [4982] thy wife [1135]? 46 7 17 But [1508] as [5613] God [2316] hath distributed [3307] to every man [1538], as [5613] the Lord [2962] hath called [2564] every one [1538], so [3779] let him walk [4043]. And [2532] so [3779] ordain I [1299] in [1722] all [3956] churches [1577]. 46 7 18 Is [2564] any man [5100] called [2564] being circumcised [4059]? let him [1986] not [3361] become uncircumcised [1986]. Is [2564] any [5100] called [2564] in [1722] uncircumcision [203]? let him [4059] not [3361] be circumcised [4059]. 46 7 19 Circumcision [4061] is [2076] nothing [3762], and [2532] uncircumcision [203] is [2076] nothing [3762], but [235] the keeping [5084] of the commandments [1785] of God [2316]. 46 7 20 Let [3306] every man [1538] abide [3306] in [1722] the same [5026] calling [2821] wherein [1722] [3739] he was called [2564]. 46 7 21 Art thou called [2564] being a servant [1401]? care [3199] [4671] not [3361] for it [3199]: but [235] if [1499] thou mayest [1410] be made [1096] free [1658], use [5530] it rather [3123]. 46 7 22 For [1063] he that is called [2564] in [1722] the Lord [2962], being a servant [1401], is [2076] the Lord's [2962] freeman [558]: likewise [3668] also [2532] he that is called [2564], being free [1658], is [2076] Christ's [5547] servant [1401]. 46 7 23 Ye are bought [59] with a price [5092]; be [1096] not [3361] ye [1096] the servants [1401] of men [444]. 46 7 24 Brethren [80], let [3306] every man [1538], wherein [1722] [3739] he is called [2564], therein [1722] [5129] abide [3306] with [3844] God [2316]. 46 7 25 Now [1161] concerning [4012] virgins [3933] I have [2192] no [3756] commandment [2003] of the Lord [2962]: yet [1161] I give [1325] my judgment [1106], as [5613] one that hath obtained mercy [1653] of [5259] the Lord [2962] to be [1511] faithful [4103]. 46 7 26 I suppose [3543] therefore [3767] that this [5124] is [5225] good [2570] for [1223] the present [1764] distress [318], I say, that [3754] it is good [2570] for a man [444] so [3779] to be [1511]. 46 7 27 Art thou bound [1210] unto a wife [1135]? seek [2212] not [3361] to be loosed [3080]. Art thou loosed [3089] from [575] a wife [1135]? seek [2212] not [3361] a wife [1135]. 46 7 28 But [1161] and [2532] if [1437] thou marry [1060], thou hast [264] not [3756] sinned [264]; and [2532] if [1437] a virgin [3933] marry [1060], she hath [264] not [3756] sinned [264]. Nevertheless [1161] such [5108] shall have [2192] trouble [2347] in the flesh [4561]: but [1161] I [1473] spare [5339] you [5216]. 46 7 29 But [1161] this [5124] I say [5346], brethren [80], the time [2540] is short [4958]: it remaineth [2076] [3063], that [2443] both [2532] they that have [2192] wives [1135] be [5600] as though [5613] they had [2192] none [3361]; 46 7 30 And [2532] they that weep [2799], as [5613] though they wept [2799] not [3361]; and [2532] they that rejoice [5463], as [5613] though they rejoiced [5463] not [3361]; and [2532] they that buy [59], as [5613] though they possessed [2722] not [3361]; 46 7 31 And [2532] they that use [5530] this [5127] world [2889], as [5613] not [3361] abusing [2710] it: for [1063] the fashion [4976] of this [5129] world [2889] passeth away [3855]. 46 7 32 But [1161] I would have [1511] [2309] you [5209] without carefulness [275]. He that is unmarried [22] careth [3309] for the things that belong to [3588] the Lord [2962], how [4459] he may please [700] the Lord [2962]: 46 7 33 But [1161] he that is married [1060] careth [3309] for the things that are [3588] of the world [2889], how [4459] he may please [700] his wife [1135]. 46 7 34 There is difference also between [3307] a wife [1135] and [2532] a virgin [3933]. The unmarried woman [22] careth for [3309] the things [3588] of the Lord [2962], that [2443] she may be [5600] holy [40] both [2532] in body [4983] and [2532] in spirit [4151]: but [1161] she that is married [1060] careth [3309] for the things [3588] of the world [2889], how [4459] she may please [700] her husband [435]. 46 7 35 And [1161] this [5124] I speak [3004] for [4314] your [5216] own [846] profit [4851]; not [3756] that [2443] I may cast [1911] a snare [1029] upon you [5213], but [235] for that which [4314] is comely [2158], and [2532] that ye may attend upon [2145] the Lord [2962] without distraction [563]. 46 7 36 But [1161] if any man [1536] think [3543] that he behaveth himself uncomely [807] toward [1909] his [846] virgin [3933], if [1437] she pass the flower of her age [5230] [5600], and [2532] need [3784] so [3779] require [1096], let him do [4160] what [3739] he will [2309], he sinneth [264] not [3756]: let them marry [1060]. 46 7 37 Nevertheless [1161] he [3739] that standeth [2476] stedfast [1476] in [1722] his heart [2588], having [2192] no [3361] necessity [318], but [1161] hath [2192] power [1849] over [4012] his own [2398] will [2307], and [2532] hath [2919] so [5124] decreed [2919] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588] that he will keep [5083] his [1438] virgin [3933], doeth [4160] well [2573]. 46 7 38 So [5620] then [2532] he that giveth her in marriage [1547] doeth [4160] well [2573]; but [1161] he that giveth her [1547] not [3361] in marriage [1547] doeth [4160] better [2908]. 46 7 39 The wife [1135] is bound [1210] by the law [3551] [1909] as long [5550] as [3745] her [846] husband [435] liveth [2198]; but [1161] if [1437] her [846] husband [435] be dead [2837], she is [2076] at liberty [1658] to be married [1060] to whom [3739] she will [2309]; only [3440] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 46 7 40 But [1161] she is [2076] happier [3107] if [1437] she [3306] so [3779] abide [3306], after [2596] my [1699] judgment [1106]: and [1161] I think [1380] also [2504] that I have [2192] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]. 46 8 1 Now [1161] as touching [4012] things offered unto idols [1494], we know [1492] that [3754] we all [3956] have [2192] knowledge [1108]. Knowledge [1108] puffeth up [5448], but [1161] charity [26] edifieth [3618]. 46 8 2 And [1161] if any man [1536] think [1380] that he knoweth [1492] any thing [5100], he knoweth [1097] nothing [3762] yet [3764] as [2531] he ought [1163] to know [1097]. 46 8 3 But [1161] if any man [1536] love [25] God [2316], the same [3778] is known [1097] of [5259] him [846]. 46 8 4 As concerning [4012] therefore [3767] the eating [1035] of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols [1494], we know [1492] that [3754] an idol [1497] is nothing [3762] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] that [3754] there is none [3762] other [2087] God [2316] but [1508] one [1520]. 46 8 5 For [1063] though [1512] [2532] there be [1526] that are called [3004] gods [2316], whether [1535] in [1722] heaven [3772] or [1535] in [1909] earth [1093], (as [5618] there be [1526] gods [2316] many [4183], and [2532] lords [2962] many [4183],) 46 8 6 But [235] to us [2254] there is but one [1520] God [2316], the Father [3962], of [1537] whom [3739] are all things [3956], and [2532] we [2249] in [1519] him [846]; and [2532] one [1520] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], by [1223] whom [3739] are all things [3956], and [2532] we [2249] by [1223] him [846]. 46 8 7 Howbeit [235] there is not [3756] in [1722] every man [3956] that knowledge [1108]: for [1161] some [5100] with conscience [4893] of the idol [1497] unto [2193] this hour [737] eat [2068] it as [5613] a thing offered unto an idol [1494]; and [2532] their [846] conscience [4893] being [5607] weak [772] is defiled [3435]. 46 8 8 But [1161] meat [1033] commendeth [3936] us [2248] not [3756] to God [2316]: for [1063] neither [3777], if [1437] we eat [5315], are we the better [4052]; neither [3777], if [3362] we eat [5315] not [3362], are we the worse [5302]. 46 8 9 But [1161] take heed [991] lest [3381] by any means [4458] this [3778] liberty [1849] of yours [5216] become [1096] a stumblingblock [4348] to them that are weak [770]. 46 8 10 For [1063] if [1437] any man [5100] see [1492] thee [4571] which [3588] hast [2192] knowledge [1108] sit at meat [2621] in [1722] the idol's temple [1493], shall [3618] not [3780] the conscience [4893] of him [846] which is [5607] weak [772] be emboldened [3618] [1519] to eat [2068] those things which are offered to idols [1494]; 46 8 11 And [2532] through [1909] thy [4674] knowledge [1108] shall [622] the weak [770] brother [80] perish [622], for [1223] whom [3739] Christ [5547] died [599]? 46 8 12 But [1161] when ye sin [264] so [3779] against [1519] the brethren [80], and [2532] wound [5180] their [846] weak [770] conscience [4893], ye sin [264] against [1519] Christ [5547]. 46 8 13 Wherefore [1355], if [1487] meat [1033] make [4624] my [3450] brother [80] to offend [4624], I will eat [5315] no [3364] flesh [2907] while the world standeth [1519] [165], lest [3363] I make [4624] my [3450] brother [80] to offend [4624]. 46 9 1 Am [1510] I not [3756] an apostle [652]? am [1510] I not [3756] free [1658]? have I not [3780] seen [3708] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]? are [2075] not [3756] ye [5210] my [3450] work [2041] in [1722] the Lord [2962]? 46 9 2 If [1487] I be [1510] not [3756] an apostle [652] unto others [243], yet [235] doubtless [1065] I am [1510] to you [5213]: for [1063] the seal [4973] of mine [1699] apostleship [651] are [2075] ye [5210] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 46 9 3 Mine [1699] answer [627] to them that do examine [350] me [1691] is [2076] this [3778], 46 9 4 Have we [2192] not [3378] power [1849] to eat [5315] and [2532] to drink [4095]? 46 9 5 Have we [2192] not [3378] power [1849] to lead about [4013] a sister [79], a wife [1135], as well as [5613] [2532] other [3062] apostles [652], and [2532] as the brethren [80] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] Cephas [2786]? 46 9 6 Or [2228] I [1473] only [3441] and [2532] Barnabas [921], have [2192] not [3756] we [2192] power [1849] to forbear [3361] working [2038]? 46 9 7 Who [5101] goeth a warfare [4754] any time at [4218] his own [2398] charges [3800]? who [5101] planteth [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] eateth [2068] not [3756] of [1537] the fruit [2590] thereof [846]? or [2228] who [5101] feedeth [4165] a flock [4167], and [2532] eateth [2068] not [3756] of [1537] the milk [1051] of the flock [4167]? 46 9 8 Say I [2980] these things [5023] as [3361] [2596] a man [444]? or [2228] saith [3004] not [3780] the law [3551] the same [5023] also [2532]? 46 9 9 For [1063] it is written [1125] in [1722] the law [3551] of Moses [3475], Thou shalt [5392] not [3756] muzzle [5392] the mouth of the ox [1016] that treadeth out the corn [248]. [3361] Doth [3199] God [2316] take care [3199] for oxen [1016]? 46 9 10 Or [2228] saith he [3004] it altogether [3843] for [1223] our [2248] sakes [1223]? For [1223] our [2248] sakes [1223], no doubt [1063], this is written [1125]: that [3754] he that ploweth [722] should [3784] plow [722] in [1909] hope [1680]; and [2532] that he that thresheth [248] in hope [1680] should be partaker [3348] of [1909] his [846] hope [1680]. 46 9 11 If [1487] we [2249] have sown [4687] unto you [5213] spiritual things [4152], is it a great thing [3173] if [1487] we [2249] shall reap [2325] your [5216] carnal things [4559]? 46 9 12 If [1487] others [243] be partakers [3348] of this power [1849] over you [5216], are not [3756] we [2249] rather [3123]? Nevertheless [235] we have [5530] not [3756] used [5530] this [5026] power [1849]; but [235] suffer [4722] all things [3956], lest [3363] we should [1325] [5100] hinder [1464] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]. 46 9 13 Do ye [1492] not [3756] know [1492] that [3754] they which minister [2038] about holy things [2413] live [2068] of the things of [1537] the temple [2411]? and they which wait [4332] at the altar [2379] are partakers [4829] with the altar [2379]? 46 9 14 Even [2532] so [3779] hath [1299] the Lord [2962] ordained [1299] that they which preach [2605] the gospel [2098] should live [2198] of [1537] the gospel [2098]. 46 9 15 But [1161] I [1473] have used [5530] none [3762] of these things [5130]: [1161] neither [3756] have I written [1125] these things [5023], that [2443] it should be [1096] so [3779] done [1096] unto [1722] me [1698]: for [1063] it were better [3123] for me [3427] to die [599] [2570], than [2228] that [2443] any man [5100] should make [2758] my [3450] glorying [2745] void [2758]. 46 9 16 For [1063] though [1437] I preach the gospel [2097], I [3427] have [2076] nothing [3756] to glory of [2745]: for [1063] necessity [318] is laid upon [1945] me [3427]; yea [1161], woe [3759] is [2076] unto me [3427], if [3362] I preach [2097] not [3362] the gospel [2097] ! 46 9 17 For [1063] if [1487] I do [4238] this thing [5124] willingly [1635], I have [2192] a reward [3408]: but [1161] if [1487] against my will [210], a dispensation [3622] of the gospel is committed unto me [4100]. 46 9 18 What [5101] is [2076] my [3427] reward [3408] then [3767]? Verily that [2443], when I preach the gospel [2097], I may make [5087] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547] without charge [77], that [1519] I abuse [2710] not [3361] my [3450] power [1849] in [1722] the gospel [2098]. 46 9 19 For [1063] though I be [5607] free [1658] from [1537] all [3956] men, yet have I made [1402] myself [1683] servant [1402] unto all [3956], that [2443] I might gain [2770] the more [4119]. 46 9 20 And [2532] unto the Jews [2453] I became [1096] as [5613] a Jew [2453], that [2443] I might gain [2770] the Jews [2453]; to them that are under [5259] the law [3551], as [5613] under [5259] the law [3551], that [2443] I might gain [2770] them that are under [5259] the law [3551]; 46 9 21 To them that are without law [459], as [5613] without law [459], (being [5607] not [3361] without law [459] to God [2316], but [235] under the law [1772] to Christ [5547],) that [2443] I might gain [2770] them that are without law [459]. 46 9 22 To the weak [772] became I [1096] as [5613] weak [772], that [2443] I might gain [2770] the weak [772]: I am made [1096] all things [3956] to all [3956] men, that [2443] I might [4982] by all means [3843] save [4982] some [5100]. 46 9 23 And [1161] this [5124] I do [4160] for [1223] the gospel's [2098] sake [1223], that [2443] I might be [1096] partaker [4791] thereof [846] with [4791] you. 46 9 24 Know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] they which run [5143] in [1722] a race [4712] run [5143] all [3956] [3303], but [1161] one [1520] receiveth [2983] the prize [1017]? So [3779] run [5143], that [2443] ye may obtain [2638]. 46 9 25 And [1161] every man [3956] that striveth for the mastery [75] is temperate [1467] in all things [3956]. [3303] Now [3767] they [1565] do it to [2443] obtain [2983] a corruptible [5349] crown [4735]; but [1161] we [2249] an incorruptible [862]. 46 9 26 I [1473] therefore [5106] so [3779] run [5143], not [3756] as [5613] uncertainly [84]; so [3779] fight I [4438], not [3756] as [5613] one that beateth [1194] the air [109]: 46 9 27 But [235] I keep under [5299] my [3450] body [4983], and [2532] bring it into subjection [1396]: lest that by any means [3381] [4458], when I have preached [2784] to others [243], I myself [846] should be [1096] a castaway [96]. 46 10 1 Moreover [1161], brethren [80], I would [2309] not [3756] that ye [5209] should be ignorant [50], how that [3754] all [3956] our [2257] fathers [3962] were [2258] under [5259] the cloud [3507], and [2532] all [3956] passed [1330] through [1223] the sea [2281]; 46 10 2 And [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] unto [1519] Moses [3475] in [1722] the cloud [3507] and [2532] in [1722] the sea [2281]; 46 10 3 And [2532] did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315] the same [846] spiritual [4152] meat [1033]; 46 10 4 And [2532] did [4095] all [3956] drink [4095] the same [846] spiritual [4152] drink [4188]: for [1063] they drank [4095] of [1537] that spiritual [4152] Rock [4073] that followed them [190]: and [1161] that Rock [4073] was [2258] Christ [5547]. 46 10 5 But [235] with [1722] many [4119] of them [846] God [2316] was [2106] not [3756] well pleased [2106]: for [1063] they were overthrown [2693] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]. 46 10 6 Now [1161] these things [5023] were [1096] our [2257] examples [5179], to the intent [1519] we [2248] should [1511] not [3361] lust after evil [2556] things [1938], as [2531] they also [2548] lusted [1937]. 46 10 7 Neither [3366] be ye [1096] idolaters [1496], as [2531] were some [5100] of them [846]; as [5613] it is written [1125], The people [2992] sat down [2523] to eat [5315] and [2532] drink [4095], and [2532] rose up [450] to play [3815]. 46 10 8 Neither [3366] let us commit fornication [4203], as [2531] some [5100] of them [846] committed [4203], and [2532] fell [4098] in [1722] one [3391] day [2250] three [5140] and twenty [1501] thousand [5505]. 46 10 9 Neither [3366] let us tempt [1598] Christ [5547], as [2531] some [5100] of them [846] also [2532] tempted [3985], and [2532] were destroyed [622] of [5259] serpents [3789]. 46 10 10 Neither [3366] murmur ye [1111], as [2531] some [5100] of them [846] also [2532] murmured [1111], and [2532] were destroyed [622] of [5259] the destroyer [3644]. 46 10 11 Now [1161] all [3956] these things [5023] happened [4819] unto them [1565] for ensamples [5179]: and [1161] they are written [1125] for [4314] our [2257] admonition [3559], upon [1519] whom [3739] the ends [5056] of the world [165] are come [2658]. 46 10 12 Wherefore [5620] let [991] him that thinketh [1380] he standeth [2476] take heed [991] lest [3361] he fall [4098]. 46 10 13 There hath [2983] no [3756] temptation [3986] taken [2983] you [5209] but [1508] such as is common to man [442]: but [1161] God [2316] is faithful [4103], who [3739] will [1439] not [3756] suffer [1439] you [5209] to be tempted [3985] above [5228] that [3739] ye are able [1410]; but [235] will [4160] with [4862] the temptation [3986] also [2532] make [4160] a way to escape [1545], that ye [5209] may be able [1410] to bear [5297] it. 46 10 14 Wherefore [1355], my [3450] dearly beloved [27], flee [5343] from [575] idolatry [1495]. 46 10 15 I speak [3004] as [5613] to wise men [5429]; judge [2919] ye [5210] what [3739] I say [5346]. 46 10 16 The cup [4221] of blessing [2129] which [3739] we bless [2127], is it [2076] not [3780] the communion [2842] of the blood [129] of Christ [5547]? The bread [740] which [3739] we break [2806], is it [2076] not [3780] the communion [2842] of the body [4983] of Christ [5547]? 46 10 17 For [3754] we [2070] being many [4183] are [2070] one [1520] bread [740], and one [1520] body [4983]: for [1063] we are [3348] all [3956] partakers [3348] of [1537] that one [1520] bread [740]. 46 10 18 Behold [991] Israel [2474] after [2596] the flesh [4561]: are [1526] not [3780] they [1526] which eat [2068] of the sacrifices [2378] partakers [2844] of the altar [2379]? 46 10 19 What [5101] say I [5346] then [3767]? that [3754] the idol [1497] is [2076] any thing [5100], or [2228] that [3754] which is offered in sacrifice to idols [1494] is [2076] any thing [5100]? 46 10 20 But [235] I say, that [3754] the things which [3739] the Gentiles [1484] sacrifice [2380], they sacrifice [2380] to devils [1140], and [2532] not [3756] to God [2316]: and [1161] I would [2309] not [3756] that ye [5209] should have [1096] fellowship [2844] with devils [1140]. 46 10 21 Ye cannot [3756] [1410] drink [4095] the cup [4221] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] the cup [4221] of devils [1140]: ye cannot [3756] [1410] be partakers [3348] of the Lord's [2962] table [5132], and [2532] of the table [5132] of devils [1140]. 46 10 22 Do we provoke [2228] [3863] the Lord [2962] to jealousy [3863]? are we [2070] stronger than [3361] [2478] he [846]? 46 10 23 All things [3956] are lawful [1832] for me [3427], but [235] all things [3956] are [4851] not [3756] expedient [4851]: all things [3956] are lawful [1832] for me [3427], but [235] all things [3956] edify [3618] not [3756]. 46 10 24 Let [2212] no man [3367] seek [2212] his own [1438], but [235] every man [1538] another's [2087] wealth. 46 10 25 Whatsoever [3956] is sold [4453] in [1722] the shambles [3111], that eat [2068], asking [350] no [3367] question [350] for [1223] conscience [4893] sake [1223]: 46 10 26 For [1063] the earth [1093] is the Lord's [2962], and [2532] the fulness [4138] thereof [846]. 46 10 27 [1161] If any [1536] of them that believe not [571] bid [2564] you [5209] to a feast, and [2532] ye be disposed [2309] to go [4198]; whatsoever [3956] is set before [3908] you [5213], eat [2068], asking [350] no [3367] question [350] for [1223] conscience [4893] sake [1223]. 46 10 28 But [1161] if [1437] any man [5100] say [2036] unto you [5213], This [5124] is [2076] offered in sacrifice unto idols [1494], eat [2068] not [3361] for [1223] his sake [1565] that shewed it [3377], and [2532] for conscience sake [4893]: for [1063] the earth [1093] is the Lord's [2962], and [2532] the fulness [4138] thereof [846]: 46 10 29 Conscience [4893], [1161] I say [3004], not [3780] thine own [1438], but [235] of the other [2087]: for [1063] why [2444] is [2919] my [3450] liberty [1657] judged [2919] of [5259] another [243] man's conscience [4893]? 46 10 30 For [1161] if [1487] I [1473] by grace [5485] be a partaker [3348], why [5101] am I evil spoken of [987] for that [5228] for which [3739] I [1473] give thanks [2168]? 46 10 31 Whether [1535] therefore [3767] ye eat [2068], or [1535] drink [4095], or [1535] whatsoever [5100] ye do [4160], do [4160] all [3956] to [1519] the glory [1391] of God [2316]. 46 10 32 Give [1096] none offence [677], neither [2532] to the Jews [2453], nor [2532] to the Gentiles [1672], nor [2532] to the church [1577] of God [2316]: 46 10 33 Even as [2531] I [2504] please [700] all [3956] men in all [3956] things, not [3361] seeking [2212] mine own [1683] profit [4851], but [235] the profit [3588] of many [4183], that [2443] they may be saved [4982]. 46 11 1 Be [1096] ye followers [3402] of me [3450], even as [2531] I also [2504] am of Christ [5547]. 46 11 2 Now [1161] I praise [1867] you [5209], brethren [80], that [3754] ye remember [3415] me [3450] in all things [3956], and [2532] keep [2722] the ordinances [3862], as [2531] I delivered [3860] them to you [5213]. 46 11 3 But [1161] I would have [2309] you [5209] know [1492], that [3754] the head [2776] of every [3956] man [435] is [2076] Christ [5547]; and [1161] the head [2776] of the woman [1135] is the man [435]; and [1161] the head [2776] of Christ [5547] is God [2316]. 46 11 4 Every [3956] man [435] praying [4336] or [2228] prophesying [4395], having [2192] his head [2776] covered [2596], dishonoureth [2617] his [846] head [2776]. 46 11 5 But [1161] every [3956] woman [1135] that prayeth [4336] or [2228] prophesieth [4395] with her head [2776] uncovered [177] dishonoureth [2617] her [1438] head [2776]: for [1063] that is [2076] even [2532] all one [1520] as if [846] she were shaven [3587]. 46 11 6 For [1063] if [1487] the woman [1135] be [2619] not [3756] covered [2619], let her [2751] also [2532] be shorn [2751]: but [1161] if [1487] it be a shame [149] for a woman [1135] to be shorn [2751] or [2228] shaven [3587], let her be covered [2619]. 46 11 7 For [1063] a man [435] indeed [3303] ought [3784] not [3756] to cover [2619] his head [2776], forasmuch as he is [5225] the image [1504] and [2532] glory [1391] of God [2316]: but [1161] the woman [1135] is [2076] the glory [1391] of the man [435]. 46 11 8 For [1063] the man [435] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] the woman [1135]; but [235] the woman [1135] of [1537] the man [435]. 46 11 9 [1063] [2532] Neither [3756] was [2936] the man [435] created [2936] for [1223] the woman [1135]; but [235] the woman [1135] for [1223] the man [435]. 46 11 10 For this [5124] cause [1223] ought [3784] the woman [1135] to have [2192] power [1849] on [1909] her head [2776] because [1223] of the angels [32]. 46 11 11 Nevertheless [4133] neither [3777] is the man [435] without [5565] the woman [1135], neither [3777] the woman [1135] without [5565] the man [435], in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 46 11 12 For [1063] as [5618] the woman [1135] is of [1537] the man [435], even so [3779] is the man [435] also [2532] by [1223] the woman [1135]; but [1161] all things [3956] of [1537] God [2316]. 46 11 13 Judge [2919] in [1722] yourselves [5213] [846]: is it [2076] comely [4241] that a woman [1135] pray [4336] unto God [2316] uncovered [177]? 46 11 14 Doth [2228] not even [3761] nature [5449] itself [846] teach [1321] you [5209], that [3754], if [1437] [3303] a man [435] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a shame [819] unto him [846]? 46 11 15 But [1161] if [1437] a woman [1135] have long hair [2863], it is [2076] a glory [1391] to her [846]: for [3754] her hair [2864] is given [1325] her [846] for [473] a covering [4018]. 46 11 16 But [1161] if any man [1536] seem [1380] to be [1511] contentious [5380], we [2249] have [2192] no [3756] such [5108] custom [4914], neither [3761] the churches [1577] of God [2316]. 46 11 17 Now [1161] in this [5124] that I declare [3853] unto you I praise [1867] you not [3756], that [3754] ye come together [4905] not [3756] for [1519] the better [2909], but [235] for [1519] the worse [2276]. 46 11 18 For [1063] [3303] first of all [4412], when ye [5216] come together [4905] in [1722] the church [1577], I hear [191] that there be [5225] divisions [4978] among [1722] you [5213]; and [2532] I partly [3313] believe [4100] it [5100]. 46 11 19 For [1063] there must [1163] be [1511] also [2532] heresies [139] among [1722] you [5213], that [2443] they which are approved [1384] may be made [1096] manifest [5318] among [1722] you [5213]. 46 11 20 When ye [5216] come together [4905] therefore [3767] into [1909] one place [846], this is [2076] not [3756] to eat [5315] the Lord's [2960] supper [1173]. 46 11 21 For [1063] in [1722] eating [5315] every one [1538] taketh before [4301] other his own [2398] supper [1173]: and [2532] one [3739] [3303] is hungry [3983], and [1161] another [3739] is drunken [3184]. 46 11 22 What [1063]? have ye [2192] not [3378] houses [3614] to eat [2068] and [2532] to drink [4095] in [1519]? or [2228] despise ye [2706] the church [1577] of God [2316], and [2532] shame [2617] them that have [2192] not [3361]? What [5101] shall I say [2036] to you [5213]? shall I praise [1867] you [5209] in [1722] this [5129]? I praise [1867] you not [3756]. 46 11 23 For [1063] I [1473] have received [3880] of [575] the Lord [2962] that which [3739] also [2532] I delivered [3860] unto you [5213], That [3754] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] the same night [3571] in [1722] which [3739] he was betrayed [3860] took [2983] bread [740]: 46 11 24 And [2532] when he had given thanks [2168], he brake [2806] it, and [2532] said [2036], Take [2983], eat [5315]: this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] body [4983], which [3588] is broken [2806] for [5228] you [5216]: this [5124] do [4160] in [1519] remembrance [364] of me [1699]. 46 11 25 After the same manner [5615] also [2532] he took the cup [4221], when [3326] he had supped [1172], saying [3004], This [5124] cup [4221] is [2076] the new [2537] testament [1242] in [1722] my [1699] blood [129]: this [5124] do ye [4160], as oft as [3740] [302] ye drink [4095] it, in [1519] remembrance [364] of me [1699]. 46 11 26 For [1063] as often as [302] [3740] ye eat [2068] this [5126] bread [740], and [2532] drink [4095] this [5124] cup [4221], ye do shew [2605] the Lord's [2962] death [2288] till [891] [302] he [3739] come [2064]. 46 11 27 Wherefore [5620] whosoever [3739] [302] shall eat [2068] this [5126] bread [740], and [2228] drink [4095] this cup [4221] of the Lord [2962], unworthily [371], shall be [2071] guilty [1777] of the body [4983] and [2532] blood [129] of the Lord [2962]. 46 11 28 But [1161] let [1381] a man [444] examine [1381] himself [1438], and [2532] so [3779] let him eat [2068] of [1537] that bread [740], and [2532] drink [4095] of [1537] that cup [4221]. 46 11 29 For [1063] he that eateth [2068] and [2532] drinketh [4095] unworthily [371], eateth [2068] and [2532] drinketh [4095] damnation [2917] to himself [1438], not [3361] discerning [1252] the Lord's [2962] body [4983]. 46 11 30 For [1223] this [5124] cause [1223] many [4183] are weak [772] and [2532] sickly [732] among [1722] you [5213], and [2532] many [2425] sleep [2837]. 46 11 31 For [1063] if [1487] we would judge [1252] ourselves [1438], we should [302] not [3756] be judged [2919]. 46 11 32 But [1161] when we are judged [2919], we are chastened [3811] of [5259] the Lord [2962], that [3363] we should [2632] not [3363] be condemned [2632] with [4862] the world [2889]. 46 11 33 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80], when ye come together [4905] to [1519] eat [5315], tarry [1551] one for another [240]. 46 11 34 And [1161] if any man [1536] hunger [3983], let him eat [2068] at [1722] home [3624]; that [3363] ye come [4905] not [3363] together [4905] unto [1519] condemnation [2917]. And [1161] the rest [3062] will I set in order [1299] when [5613] [302] I come [2064]. 46 12 1 Now [1161] concerning [4012] spiritual [4152] gifts, brethren [80], I would [2309] not [3756] have [2309] you [5209] ignorant [50]. 46 12 2 Ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [2258] Gentiles [1484], carried away [520] unto [4314] these dumb [880] idols [1497], even as [5613] [302] ye were led [71]. 46 12 3 Wherefore [1352] I give [1107] you [5213] to understand [1107], that [3754] no man [3762] speaking [2980] by [1722] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] calleth [3004] Jesus [2424] accursed [331]: and [2532] that no man [3762] can [1410] say [2036] that Jesus [2424] is the Lord [2962], but [1508] by [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 46 12 4 Now [1161] there are [1526] diversities [1243] of gifts [5486], but [1161] the same [846] Spirit [4151]. 46 12 5 And [2532] there are [1526] differences [1243] of administrations [1248], but [2532] the same [846] Lord [2962]. 46 12 6 And [2532] there are [1526] diversities [1243] of operations [1755], but [1161] it is [2076] the same [846] God [2316] which [3588] worketh [1754] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956]. 46 12 7 But [1161] the manifestation [5321] of the Spirit [4151] is given [1325] to every man [1538] to [4314] profit withal [4851]. 46 12 8 For [1063] to one [3739] [3303] is given [1325] by [1223] the Spirit [4151] the word [3056] of wisdom [4678]; [1161] to another [243] the word [3056] of knowledge [1108] by [2596] the same [846] Spirit [4151]; 46 12 9 [1161] To another [2087] faith [4102] by [1722] the same [846] Spirit [4151]; [1161] to another [243] the gifts [5486] of healing [2386] by [1722] the same [846] Spirit [4151]; 46 12 10 [1161] To another [243] the working [1755] of miracles [1411]; [1161] to another [243] prophecy [4394]; [1161] to another [243] discerning [1253] of spirits [4151]; [1161] to another [2087] divers kinds [1085] of tongues [1100]; [1161] to another [243] the interpretation [2058] of tongues [1100]: 46 12 11 But [1161] all [3956] these [5023] worketh [1754] that one [1520] and [2532] the selfsame [846] Spirit [4151], dividing [1244] to every man [1538] severally [2398] as [2531] he will [1014]. 46 12 12 For [1063] as [2509] the body [4983] is [2076] one [1520], and [2532] hath [2192] many [4183] members [3196], and [1161] all [3956] the members [3196] of that one [1520] body [4983], being [5607] many [4183], are [2076] one [1520] body [4983]: so [3779] also [2532] is Christ [5547]. 46 12 13 For [1063] [2532] by [1722] one [1520] Spirit [4151] are [907] we [2249] all [3956] baptized [907] into [1519] one [1520] body [4983], whether [1535] we be Jews [2453] or [1535] Gentiles [1672], whether [1535] we be bond [1401] or [1535] free [1658]; and [2532] have been [4222] all [3956] made to drink [4222] into [1519] one [1520] Spirit [4151]. 46 12 14 [2532] For [1063] the body [4983] is [2076] not [3756] one [1520] member [3196], but [235] many [4183]. 46 12 15 If [1437] the foot [4228] shall say [2036], Because [3754] I am [1510] not [3756] the hand [5495], I am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the body [4983]; is [2076] it therefore [3756] [3844] [5124] not [3756] of [1537] the body [4983]? 46 12 16 And [2532] if [1437] the ear [3775] shall say [2036], Because [3754] I am [1510] not [3756] the eye [3788], I am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the body [4983]; is [2076] it therefore [3756] [3844] [5124] not [3756] of [1537] the body [4983]? 46 12 17 If [1487] the whole [3650] body [4983] were an eye [3788], where [4226] were the hearing [189]? If [1487] the whole [3650] were hearing [189], where [4226] were the smelling [3750]? 46 12 18 But [1161] now [3570] hath [5087] God [2316] set [5087] the members [3196] every [1538] one [1520] of them [846] in [1722] the body [4983], as [2531] it hath pleased him [2309]. 46 12 19 And [1161] if [1487] they were [2258] all [3956] one [1520] member [3196], where [4226] were the body [4983]? 46 12 20 But [1161] now [3568] [3303] are they many [4183] members [3196], yet but [1161] one [1520] body [4983]. 46 12 21 And [1161] the eye [3788] cannot [3756] [1410] say [2036] unto the hand [5495], I have [2192] no [3756] need [5532] of thee [4675]: nor [2228] again [3825] the head [2776] to the feet [4228], I have [2192] no [3756] need [5532] of you [5216]. 46 12 22 Nay [235], much [4183] more [3123] those members [3196] of the body [4983], which seem [1380] to be [5225] more feeble [772], are [2076] necessary [316]: 46 12 23 And [2532] those [3739] members of the body [4983], which we think [1380] to be [1511] less honourable [820], upon these [5125] we bestow [4060] more abundant [4055] honour [5092]; and [2532] our [2257] uncomely [809] parts have [2192] more abundant [4055] comeliness [2157]. 46 12 24 For [1161] our [2257] comely [2158] parts have [2192] no [3756] need [5532]: but [235] God [2316] hath tempered [4786] the body [4983] together [4786], having given [1325] more abundant [4055] honour [5092] to that part which lacked [5302]: 46 12 25 That [3363] there should be [5600] no [3363] schism [4978] in [1722] the body [4983]; but [235] that the members [3196] should have [3309] the same [846] care [3309] one for [5228] another [240]. 46 12 26 And [2532] whether [1535] one [1520] member [3196] suffer [3958], all [3956] the members [3196] suffer with it [4841]; or [1535] one [1520] member [3196] be honoured [1392], all [3956] the members [3196] rejoice with it [4796]. 46 12 27 Now [1161] ye [5210] are [2075] the body [4983] of Christ [5547], and [2532] members [3196] in [1537] particular [3313]. 46 12 28 And [2532] [3739] God [2316] hath set [5087] some [3303] in [1722] the church [1577], first [4412] apostles [652], secondarily [1208] prophets [4396], thirdly [5154] teachers [1320], after that [1899] miracles [1411], then [1534] gifts [5486] of healings [2386], helps [484], governments [2941], diversities [1085] of tongues [1100]. 46 12 29 Are all [3361] [3956] apostles [652]? are all [3361] [3956] prophets [4396]? are all [3361] [3956] teachers [1320]? are all [3361] [3956] workers of miracles [1411]? 46 12 30 Have [3361] [2192] all [3956] the gifts [5486] of healing [2386]? do all [3956] speak [3361] [2980] with tongues [1100]? do [3361] all [3956] interpret [1329]? 46 12 31 But [1161] covet earnestly [2206] the best [2909] gifts [5486]: and [2532] yet [2089] shew I [1166] unto you [5213] a more [2596] excellent [5236] way [3598]. 46 13 1 Though [1437] I speak [2980] with the tongues [1100] of men [444] and [2532] of angels [32], and [1161] have [2192] not [3361] charity [26], I am become [1096] as sounding [2278] brass [5475], or [2228] a tinkling [214] cymbal [2950]. 46 13 2 And [2532] though [1437] I have [2192] the gift of prophecy [4394], and [2532] understand [1492] all [3956] mysteries [3466], and [2532] all [3956] knowledge [1108]; and [2532] though [1437] I have [2192] all [3956] faith [4102], so [5620] that I could remove [3179] mountains [3735], and [1161] have [2192] not [3361] charity [26], I am [1510] nothing [3762]. 46 13 3 And [2532] though [1437] I bestow [5595] all [3956] my [3450] goods [5224] to feed [5595] the poor, and [2532] though [1437] I give [3860] my [3450] body [4983] to [2443] be burned [2545], and [1161] have [2192] not [3361] charity [26], it profiteth me [5623] nothing [3762]. 46 13 4 Charity [26] suffereth long [3114], and is kind [5541]; charity [26] envieth [2206] not [3756]; charity [26] vaunteth [4068] not [3756] itself [4068], is [5448] not [3756] puffed up [5448], 46 13 5 Doth [807] not [3756] behave itself unseemly [807], seeketh [2212] not [3756] her own [1438], is [3947] not [3756] easily provoked [3947], thinketh [3049] no [3756] evil [2556]; 46 13 6 Rejoiceth [5463] not [3756] in [1909] iniquity [93], but [1161] rejoiceth [4796] in the truth [225]; 46 13 7 Beareth [4722] all things [3956], believeth [4100] all things [3956], hopeth [1679] all things [3956], endureth [5278] all things [3956]. 46 13 8 Charity [26] never [3763] faileth [1601]: but [1161] whether [1535] there be prophecies [4394], they shall fail [2673]; whether [1535] there be tongues [1100], they shall cease [3973]; whether [1535] there be knowledge [1108], it shall vanish away [2673]. 46 13 9 For [1063] we know [1097] in [1537] part [3313], and [2532] we prophesy [4395] in [1537] part [3313]. 46 13 10 But [1161] when [3752] that which is perfect [5046] is come [2064], then [5119] that which is in [1537] part [3313] shall be done away [2673]. 46 13 11 When [3753] I was [2252] a child [3516], I spake [2980] as [5613] a child [3516], I understood [5426] as [5613] a child [3516], I thought [3049] as [5613] a child [3516]: but [1161] when [3753] I became [1096] a man [435], I put away [2673] childish things [3516]. 46 13 12 For [1063] now [737] we see [991] through [1223] a glass [2072], darkly [1722] [135]; but [1161] then [5119] face [4383] to [4314] face [4383]: now [737] I know [1097] in [1537] part [3313]; but [1161] then [5119] shall I know [1921] even as [2531] also [2532] I am known [1921]. 46 13 13 And [1161] now [3570] abideth [3306] faith [4102], hope [1680], charity [26], these [5023] three [5140]; but [1161] the greatest [3187] of these [5130] is charity [26]. 46 14 1 Follow [1377] after charity [26], and [1161] desire [2206] spiritual [4152] gifts, but [1161] rather [3123] that [2443] ye may prophesy [4395]. 46 14 2 For [1063] he that speaketh [2980] in an unknown tongue [1100] speaketh [2980] not [3756] unto men [444], but [235] unto God [2316]: for [1063] no man [3762] understandeth [191] him; howbeit [1161] in the spirit [4151] he speaketh [2980] mysteries [3466]. 46 14 3 But [1161] he that prophesieth [4395] speaketh [2980] unto men [444] to edification [3619], and [2532] exhortation [3874], and [2532] comfort [3889]. 46 14 4 He that speaketh [2980] in an unknown tongue [1100] edifieth [3618] himself [1438]; but [1161] he that prophesieth [4395] edifieth [3618] the church [1577]. 46 14 5 [1161] I would [2309] that ye [5209] all [3956] spake [2980] with tongues [1100], but [1161] rather [3123] that [2443] ye prophesied [4395]: for [1063] greater [3187] is he that prophesieth [4395] than [2228] he that speaketh [2980] with tongues [1100], except [1622] [1508] he interpret [1329], that [2443] the church [1577] may receive [2983] edifying [3619]. 46 14 6 [1161] Now [3570], brethren [80], if [1437] I come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] speaking [2980] with tongues [1100], what [5101] shall I profit [5623] you [5209], except [3362] I shall speak [2980] to you [5213] either [2228] by [1722] revelation [602], or [2228] by [1722] knowledge [1108], or [2228] by [1722] prophesying [4394], or [2228] by [1722] doctrine [1322]? 46 14 7 And even [3676] things without life [895] giving [1325] sound [5456], whether [1535] pipe [836] or [1535] harp [2788], except [3362] they give [1325] a distinction [1293] in the sounds [5353], how [4459] shall it be known [1097] what is piped [832] or [2228] harped [2789]? 46 14 8 For [1063] [2532] if [1437] the trumpet [4536] give [1325] an uncertain [82] sound [5456], who [5101] shall prepare himself [3903] to [1519] the battle [4171]? 46 14 9 So [3779] likewise [2532] ye [5210], except [3362] ye utter [1325] by [1223] the tongue [1100] words [3056] easy to be understood [2154], how [4459] shall it be known [1097] what is spoken [2980]? for [1063] ye shall [2071] speak [2980] into [1519] the air [109]. 46 14 10 [1487] There are [2076], it may be [5177], so many [5118] kinds [1085] of voices [5456] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] none of them [3762] is without signification [880] [846]. 46 14 11 Therefore [3767] if [3362] I know [1492] not [3362] the meaning [1411] of the voice [5456], I shall be [2071] unto him that speaketh [2980] a barbarian [915], and [2532] he that speaketh [2980] shall be a barbarian [915] unto [1722] me [1698]. 46 14 12 Even [2532] so [3779] ye [5210], forasmuch as [1893] ye are [2075] zealous [2207] of spiritual [4151] gifts, seek [2212] that [2443] ye may excel [4052] to [4314] the edifying [3619] of the church [1577]. 46 14 13 Wherefore [1355] let him that speaketh [2980] in an unknown tongue [1100] pray [4336] that [2443] he may interpret [1329]. 46 14 14 For [1063] if [1437] I pray [4336] in an unknown tongue [1100], my [3450] spirit [4151] prayeth [4336], but [1161] my [3450] understanding [3563] is [2076] unfruitful [175]. 46 14 15 What [5101] is it [2076] then [3767]? I will pray [4336] with the spirit [4151], and [1161] I will pray [4336] with the understanding [3563] also [2532]: I will sing [5567] with the spirit [4151], and [1161] I will sing [5567] with the understanding [3563] also [2532]. 46 14 16 Else [1893] when [1437] thou shalt bless [2127] with the spirit [4151], how [4459] shall he that occupieth [378] the room [5117] of the unlearned [2399] say [2046] Amen [281] at [1909] thy [4674] giving of thanks [2169], seeing [1894] he understandeth [1492] not [3756] what [5101] thou sayest [3004]? 46 14 17 For [1063] thou [4771] verily [3303] givest thanks [2168] well [2573], but [235] the other [2087] is [3618] not [3756] edified [3618]. 46 14 18 I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316], I speak [2980] with tongues [1100] more than [3123] ye [5216] all [3956]: 46 14 19 Yet [235] in [1722] the church [1577] I had rather [2309] speak [2980] five [4002] words [3056] with [1223] my [3450] understanding [3563], that [2443] by my voice I might teach [2727] others [243] also [2532], than [2228] ten thousand [3463] words [3056] in [1722] an unknown tongue [1100]. 46 14 20 Brethren [80], be [1096] not [3361] children [3813] in understanding [5424]: howbeit [235] in malice [2549] be ye children [3515], but [1161] in understanding [5424] be [1096] men [5046]. 46 14 21 In [1722] the law [3551] it is written [1125], [3754] With [1722] men of other tongues [2084] and [2532] other [1722] [2087] lips [5491] will I speak [2980] unto this [5129] people [2992]; and [2532] yet for all [3779] that will they [1522] not [3761] hear [1522] me [3450], saith [3004] the Lord [2962]. 46 14 22 Wherefore [5620] tongues [1100] are [1526] for [1519] a sign [4592], not [3756] to them that believe [4100], but [235] to them that believe not [571]: but [1161] prophesying [4394] serveth not [3756] for them that believe not [571], but [235] for them which believe [4100]. 46 14 23 If [1437] therefore [3767] the whole [3650] church [1577] be come together [4905] into [1909] one place [846], and [2532] all [3956] speak [2980] with tongues [1100], and [1161] there come in [1525] those that are unlearned [2399], or [2228] unbelievers [571], will they [2046] not [3756] say [2046] that [3754] ye are mad [3105]? 46 14 24 But [1161] if [1437] all [3956] prophesy [4395], and [1161] there come in [1525] one [5100] that believeth not [571], or [2228] one unlearned [2399], he is convinced [1651] of [5259] all [3956], he is judged [350] of [5259] all [3956]: 46 14 25 And [2532] thus [3779] are [1096] the secrets [2927] of his [846] heart [2588] made [1096] manifest [5318]; and [2532] so [3779] falling down [4098] on [1909] his face [4383] he will worship [4352] God [2316], and report [518] that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] in [1722] you [5213] of a truth [3689]. 46 14 26 How [5101] is it [2076] then [3767], brethren [80]? when [3752] ye come together [4905], every one [1538] of you [5216] hath [2192] a psalm [5568], hath [2192] a doctrine [1322], hath [2192] a tongue [1100], hath [2192] a revelation [602], hath [2192] an interpretation [2058]. Let [1096] all things [3956] be done [1096] unto [4314] edifying [3619]. 46 14 27 If [1535] any man [5100] speak [2980] in an unknown tongue [1100], let it be by [2596] two [1417], or [2228] at the most [4118] by three [5140], and [2532] that by [303] course [3313]; and [2532] let [1329] one [1520] interpret [1329]. 46 14 28 But [1161] if [3362] there be [5600] no [3362] interpreter [1328], let him keep silence [4601] in [1722] the church [1577]; and [1161] let him speak [2980] to himself [1438], and [2532] to God [2316]. 46 14 29 [1161] Let [2980] the prophets [4396] speak [2980] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140], and [2532] let [1252] the other [243] judge [1252]. 46 14 30 If [1161] [1437] any thing be revealed [601] to another [243] that sitteth by [2521], let [4601] the first [4413] hold his peace [4601]. 46 14 31 For [1063] ye may [1410] all [3956] prophesy [4395] one by one [2596] [1520], that [2443] all [3956] may learn [3129], and [2532] all [3956] may be comforted [3870]. 46 14 32 And [2532] the spirits [4151] of the prophets [4396] are subject [5293] to the prophets [4396]. 46 14 33 For [1063] God [2316] is [2076] not [3756] the author of confusion [181], but [235] of peace [1515], as [5613] in [1722] all [3956] churches [1577] of the saints [40]. 46 14 34 Let [4601] your [5216] women [1135] keep silence [4601] in [1722] the churches [1577]: for [1063] it is [2010] not [3756] permitted [2010] unto them [846] to speak [2980]; but [235] they are commanded to be under obedience [5293], as [2531] also [2532] saith [3004] the law [3551]. 46 14 35 And [1161] if [1487] they will [2309] learn [3129] any thing [5100], let them ask [1905] their [2398] husbands [435] at [1722] home [3624]: for [1063] it is [2076] a shame [149] for women [1135] to speak [2980] in [1722] the church [1577]. 46 14 36 What [2228]? came [1831] the word [3056] of God [2316] out [1831] from [575] you [5216]? or [2228] came it [2658] unto [1519] you [5209] only [3441]? 46 14 37 If any man [1536] think himself [1380] to be [1511] a prophet [4396], or [2228] spiritual [4152], let him acknowledge [1921] that [3754] the things [3739] that I write [1125] unto you [5213] are [1526] the commandments [1785] of the Lord [2962]. 46 14 38 But [1161] if any man [1536] be ignorant [50], let him be ignorant [50]. 46 14 39 Wherefore [5620], brethren [80], covet [2206] to prophesy [4395], and [2532] forbid [2967] not [3361] to speak [2980] with tongues [1100]. 46 14 40 Let [1096] all things [3956] be done [1096] decently [2156] and [2532] in [2596] order [5010]. 46 15 1 Moreover [1161], brethren [80], I declare [1107] unto you [5213] the gospel [2098] which [3739] I preached [2097] unto you [5213], which [3739] also [2532] ye have received [3880], and [2532] wherein [1722] [3739] ye stand [2476]; 46 15 2 By [1223] which [3739] also [2532] ye are saved [4982], if [1487] ye keep [2722] in memory what [5101] [3056] I preached [2097] unto you [5213], unless [1622] [1508] ye have believed [4100] in vain [1500]. 46 15 3 For [1063] I delivered [3860] unto you [5213] first of all [1722] [4413] that which [3739] I [3880] also [2532] received [3880], how [3754] that Christ [5547] died [599] for [5228] our [2257] sins [266] according [2596] to the scriptures [1124]; 46 15 4 And [2532] that [3754] he was buried [2290], and [2532] that [3754] he rose again [1453] the third [5154] day [2250] according [2596] to the scriptures [1124]: 46 15 5 And [2532] that [3754] he was seen [3700] of Cephas [2786], then [1534] of the twelve [1427]: 46 15 6 After that [1899], he was seen [3700] of above [1883] five hundred [4001] brethren [80] at once [2178]; of [1537] whom [3739] the greater part [4119] remain [3306] unto [2193] this present [737], but [1161] some [5100] [2532] are fallen asleep [2837]. 46 15 7 After that [1899], he was seen [3700] of James [2385]; then [1534] of all [3956] the apostles [652]. 46 15 8 And [1161] last [2078] of all [3956] he was seen [3700] of me also [2504], as [5619] of one born out of due time [1626]. 46 15 9 For [1063] I [1473] am [1510] the least [1646] of the apostles [652], that [3739] am [1510] not [3756] meet [2425] to be called [2564] an apostle [652], because [1360] I persecuted [1377] the church [1577] of God [2316]. 46 15 10 But [1161] by the grace [5485] of God [2316] I am [1510] what [3739] I am [1510]: and [2532] his [846] grace [5485] which was bestowed upon [1519] me [1691] was [1096] not [3756] in vain [2756]; but [235] I laboured [2872] more abundantly [4054] than they [846] all [3956]: yet [1161] not [3756] I [1473], but [235] the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] was with [4862] me [1698]. 46 15 11 Therefore [3767] whether [1535] it were I [1473] or [1535] they [1565], so [3779] we preach [2784], and [2532] so [3779] ye believed [4100]. 46 15 12 Now [1161] if [1487] Christ [5547] be preached [2784] that [3754] he rose [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], how [4459] say [3004] some [5100] among [1722] you [5213] that [3754] there is [2076] no [3756] resurrection [386] of the dead [3498]? 46 15 13 But [1161] if [1487] there be [2076] no [3756] resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], then [3761] is [1453] Christ [5547] not [3761] risen [1453]: 46 15 14 And [1161] if [1487] Christ [5547] be [1453] not [3756] risen [1453], then [686] is our [2257] preaching [2782] vain [2756], and [2532] your [5216] faith [4102] is [1161] also [2532] vain [2756]. 46 15 15 Yea [1161], and [2532] we are found [2147] false witnesses [5575] of God [2316]; because [3754] we have testified [3140] of [2596] God [2316] that [3754] he raised up [1453] Christ [5547]: whom [3739] he raised [1453] not [3756] up [1453], if [1512] so be [686] that the dead [3498] rise [1453] not [3756]. 46 15 16 For [1063] if [1487] the dead [3498] rise [1453] not [3756], then is [1453] not [3761] Christ [5547] raised [1453]: 46 15 17 And [1161] if [1487] Christ [5547] be [1453] not [3756] raised [1453], your [5216] faith [4102] is vain [3152]; ye are [2075] yet [2089] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]. 46 15 18 Then [686] they also [2532] which are fallen asleep [2837] in [1722] Christ [5547] are perished [622]. 46 15 19 If [1487] in [1722] this [5026] life [2222] only [3440] we have hope [1679] [2070] in [1722] Christ [5547], we are [2070] of all [3956] men [444] most miserable [1652]. 46 15 20 But [1161] now [3570] is [1453] Christ [5547] risen [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], and become [1096] the firstfruits [536] of them that slept [2837]. 46 15 21 For [1063] since [1894] by [1223] man [444] came death [2288], by [1223] man [444] came also [2532] the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498]. 46 15 22 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] Adam [76] all [3956] die [599], even [2532] so [3779] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall [2227] all [3956] be made alive [2227]. 46 15 23 But [1161] every man [1538] in [1722] his own [2398] order [5001]: Christ [5547] the firstfruits [536]; afterward [1899] they that are [3588] Christ's [5547] at [1722] his [846] coming [3952]. 46 15 24 Then [1534] cometh the end [5056], when [3752] he shall have delivered up [3860] the kingdom [932] to God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962]; when [3752] he shall have put down [2673] all [3956] rule [746] and [2532] all [3956] authority [1849] and [2532] power [1411]. 46 15 25 For [1063] he [846] must [1163] reign [936], till [891] [3739] he hath put [302] [5087] all [3956] enemies [2190] under [5259] his [846] feet [4228]. 46 15 26 The last [2078] enemy [2190] that shall be destroyed [2673] is death [2288]. 46 15 27 For [1063] he hath put [5293] all things [3956] under [5259] his [846] feet [4228]. But [1161] when [3752] he saith [2036] [3754] all things [3956] are put under [5293] him, it is manifest [1212] that [3754] he is excepted [1622], which did put [5293] all things [3956] under [5293] him [846]. 46 15 28 And [1161] when [3752] all things [3956] shall be subdued [5293] unto him [846], then [5119] shall [5293] the Son [5207] also [2532] himself [846] be subject [5293] unto him that put [5293] all things [3956] under [5293] him [846], that [2443] God [2316] may be [5600] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956]. 46 15 29 Else [1893] what [5101] shall they do [4160] which are baptized [907] for [5228] the dead [3498], if [1487] the dead [3498] rise [1453] not [3756] at all [3654]? why [5101] [2532] are they then baptized [907] for [5228] the dead [3498]? 46 15 30 And [2532] why [5101] stand [2793] we [2249] in jeopardy [2793] every [3956] hour [5610]? 46 15 31 I protest by [3513] your [5212] rejoicing [2251] [2746] which [3739] I have [2192] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962], I die [599] daily [2596] [2250]. 46 15 32 If [1487] after the manner [2596] of men [444] I have fought with beasts [2341] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], what [5101] advantageth it [3786] me [3427], if [1487] the dead [3498] rise [1453] not [3756]? let us eat [5315] and [2532] drink [4095]; for [1063] to morrow [839] we die [599]. 46 15 33 Be [4105] not [3361] deceived [4105]: evil [2556] communications [3657] corrupt [5351] good [5543] manners [2239]. 46 15 34 Awake [1594] to righteousness [1346], and [2532] sin [264] not [3361]; for [1063] some [5100] have [2192] not the knowledge [56] of God [2316]: I speak [3004] this to [4314] your [5213] shame [1791]. 46 15 35 But [235] some [5100] man will say [2046], How [4459] are [1453] the dead [3498] raised up [1453]? and [1161] with what [4169] body [4983] do they come [2064]? 46 15 36 Thou fool [878], that which [3739] thou [4771] sowest [4687] is [2227] not [3756] quickened [2227], except [3362] it die [599]: 46 15 37 And [2532] that which [3739] thou sowest [4687], thou sowest [4687] not [3756] that body [4983] that shall be [1096], but [235] bare [1131] grain [2848], it may chance [1487] [5177] of wheat [4621], or [2228] of some [5100] other [3062] grain: 46 15 38 But [1161] God [2316] giveth [1325] it [846] a body [4983] as [2531] it hath pleased him [2309], and [2532] to every [1538] seed [4690] his own [2398] body [4983]. 46 15 39 All [3956] flesh [4561] is not [3756] the same [846] flesh [4561]: but [235] [3303] there is one [243] kind of flesh [4561] of men [444], [1161] another [243] flesh [4561] of beasts [2934], [1161] another [243] of fishes [2486], and [1161] another [243] of birds [4421]. 46 15 40 There are also [2532] celestial [2032] bodies [4983], and [2532] bodies [4983] terrestrial [1919]: but [235] [3303] the glory [1391] of the celestial [2032] is one [2087], and [1161] the glory of the terrestrial [1919] is another [2087]. 46 15 41 There is one [243] glory [1391] of the sun [2246], and [2532] another [243] glory [1391] of the moon [4582], and [2532] another [243] glory [1391] of the stars [792]: for [1063] one star [792] differeth from [1308] another star [792] in [1722] glory [1391]. 46 15 42 So [3779] also [2532] is the resurrection [386] of the dead [3498]. It is sown [4687] in [1722] corruption [5356]; it is raised [1453] in [1722] incorruption [861]: 46 15 43 It is sown [4687] in [1722] dishonour [819]; it is raised [1453] in [1722] glory [1391]: it is sown [4687] in [1722] weakness [769]; it is raised [1453] in [1722] power [1411]: 46 15 44 It is sown [4687] a natural [5591] body [4983]; it is raised [1453] a spiritual [4152] body [4983]. There is [2076] a natural [5591] body [4983], and [2532] there is [2076] a spiritual [4152] body [4983]. 46 15 45 And [2532] so [3779] it is written [1125], The first [4413] man [444] Adam [76] was made [1096] [1519] a living [2198] soul [5590]; the last [2078] Adam [76] was made [1519] a quickening [2227] spirit [4151]. 46 15 46 Howbeit [235] that was not [3756] first [4412] which is spiritual [4152], but [235] that which is natural [5591]; and afterward [1899] that which is spiritual [4152]. 46 15 47 The first [4413] man [444] is of [1537] the earth [1093], earthy [5517]: the second [1208] man [444] is the Lord [2962] from [1537] heaven [3772]. 46 15 48 As [3634] is the earthy [5517], such [5108] are they also [2532] that are earthy [5517]: and [2532] as is [3634] the heavenly [2032], such [5108] are they [2032] also [2532] that are heavenly [2032]. 46 15 49 And [2532] as [2531] we have borne [5409] the image [1504] of the earthy [5517], we shall [5409] also [2532] bear [5409] the image [1504] of the heavenly [2032]. 46 15 50 Now [1161] this [5124] I say [5346], brethren [80], that [3754] flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129] cannot [3756] [1410] inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]; neither [3761] doth [2816] corruption [5356] inherit [2816] incorruption [861]. 46 15 51 Behold [2400], I shew [3004] you [5213] a mystery [3466]; We shall [2837] not [3756] all [3956] [3303] sleep [2837], but [1161] we shall [236] all [3956] be changed [236], 46 15 52 In [1722] a moment [823], in [1722] the twinkling [4493] of an eye [3788], at [1722] the last [2078] trump [4536]: for [1063] the trumpet shall sound [4537], and [2532] the dead [3498] shall be raised [1453] incorruptible [862], and [2532] we [2249] shall be changed [236]. 46 15 53 For [1063] this [5124] corruptible [5349] must [1163] put on [1746] incorruption [861], and [2532] this [5124] mortal [2349] must put on [1746] immortality [110]. 46 15 54 So [1161] when [3752] this [5124] corruptible [5349] shall have put on [1746] incorruption [861], and [2532] this [5124] mortal [2349] shall have put on [1746] immortality [110], then [5119] shall be brought to pass [1096] the saying [3056] that is written [1125], Death [2288] is swallowed up [2666] in [1519] victory [3534]. 46 15 55 O death [2288], where [4226] is thy [4675] sting [2759]? O grave [86], where [4226] is thy [4675] victory [3534]? 46 15 56 [1161] The sting [2759] of death [2288] is sin [266]; and [1161] the strength [1411] of sin [266] is the law [3551]. 46 15 57 But [1161] thanks [5485] be to God [2316], which [3588] giveth [1325] us [2254] the victory [3534] through [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 46 15 58 Therefore [5620], my [3450] beloved [27] brethren [80], be ye [1096] stedfast [1476], unmoveable [277], always [3842] abounding [4052] in [1722] the work [2041] of the Lord [2962], forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] your [5216] labour [2873] is [2076] not [3756] in vain [2756] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 46 16 1 Now [1161] concerning [4012] the collection [3048] for [1519] the saints [40], as [5618] I have given order [1299] to the churches [1577] of Galatia [1053], even [2532] so [3779] do [4160] ye [5210]. 46 16 2 Upon [2596] the first [3391] day of the week [4521] let [5087] every one [1538] of you [5216] lay [5087] by [3844] him [1438] in store [2343], as [3748] [302] God hath prospered him [2137], that [3363] there be [1096] no [3363] gatherings [3048] [5119] when [3752] I come [2064]. 46 16 3 And [1161] when [3752] I come [3854], whomsoever [3739] [1437] ye shall approve [1381] by [1223] your letters [1992], them [5128] will I send [3992] to bring [667] your [5216] liberality [5485] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2419]. 46 16 4 And [1161] if [1437] it be [5600] meet [514] that I go [4198] also [2504], they shall go [4198] with [4862] me [1698]. 46 16 5 Now [1161] I will come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], when [3752] I shall pass through [1330] Macedonia [3109]: for [1063] I do pass through [1330] Macedonia [3109]. 46 16 6 And [1161] it may be [5177] that I will abide [3887], yea [2228], and [2532] winter [3914] with [4314] you [5209], that [2443] ye [5210] may bring [4311] me [3165] on my journey [4311] whithersoever [3757] [1437] I go [4198]. 46 16 7 For [1063] I will [2309] not [3756] see [1492] you [5209] now [737] by [1722] the way [3938]; but [1161] I trust [1679] to tarry [1961] a while [5100] [5550] with [4314] you [5209], if [1437] the Lord [2962] permit [2010]. 46 16 8 But [1161] I will tarry [1961] at [1722] Ephesus [2181] until [2193] Pentecost [4005]. 46 16 9 For [1063] a great [3173] door [2374] and [2532] effectual [1756] is opened [455] unto me [3427], and [2532] there are many [4183] adversaries [480]. 46 16 10 Now [1161] if [1437] Timotheus [5095] come [2064], see [991] that [2443] he may be [1096] with [4314] you [5209] without fear [870]: for [1063] he worketh [2038] the work [2041] of the Lord [2962], as [5613] I [1473] also [2532] do. 46 16 11 Let [1848] no [3361] man [5100] therefore [3767] despise [1848] him [846]: but [1161] conduct [4311] him [846] forth [4311] in [1722] peace [1515], that [2443] he may come [2064] unto [4314] me [3165]: for [1063] I look for [1551] him [846] with [3326] the brethren [80]. 46 16 12 As [1161] touching [4012] our brother [80] Apollos [625], I [3870] greatly [4183] desired [3870] him [846] to [2443] come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] with [3326] the brethren [80]: but [2532] his will [2307] was [2258] not [3756] at all [3843] to [2443] come [2064] at this [3568] time; but [1161] he will come [2064] when [3752] he shall have convenient time [2119]. 46 16 13 Watch ye [1127], stand fast [4739] in [1722] the faith [4102], quit you like men [407], be strong [2901]. 46 16 14 Let [1096] all [3956] your [5216] things [3956] be done [1096] with [1722] charity [26]. 46 16 15 [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], (ye know [1492] the house [3614] of Stephanas [4734], that [3754] it is [2076] the firstfruits [536] of Achaia [882], and [2532] that they have addicted [5021] themselves [1438] to [1519] the ministry [1248] of the saints [40],) 46 16 16 [2532] That [2443] ye [5210] submit yourselves [5293] unto such [5108], and [2532] to every one [3956] that helpeth [4903] with us, and [2532] laboureth [2872]. 46 16 17 [1161] I am glad [5463] of [1909] the coming [3952] of Stephanas [4734] and [2532] Fortunatus [5415] and [2532] Achaicus [883]: for that [3754] which was lacking [5303] on your part [5216] they [3778] have supplied [378]. 46 16 18 For [1063] they have refreshed [373] my [1699] spirit [4151] and [2532] yours [5216]: therefore [3767] acknowledge ye [1921] them that are such [5108]. 46 16 19 The churches [1577] of Asia [773] salute [782] you [5209]. Aquila [207] and [2532] Priscilla [4252] salute [782] you [5209] much [4183] in [1722] the Lord [2962], with [4862] the church [1577] that is in [2596] their [846] house [3624]. 46 16 20 All [3956] the brethren [80] greet [782] you [5209]. Greet ye [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. 46 16 21 The salutation [783] of me Paul [3972] with mine own [1699] hand [5495]. 46 16 22 If any man [1536] love [5368] not [3756] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], let him be [2277] Anathema [331] Maranatha [3134]. 46 16 23 The grace [5485] of our Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216]. 46 16 24 My [3450] love [26] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. Amen [281]. 47 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], and [2532] Timothy [5095] our brother [80], unto the church [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] is [5607] at [1722] Corinth [2882], with [4862] all [3956] the saints [40] which [3588] are [5607] in [1722] all [3650] Achaia [882]: 47 1 2 Grace [5485] be to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] from the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 47 1 3 Blessed [2128] be God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Father [3962] of mercies [3628], and [2532] the God [2316] of all [3956] comfort [3874]; 47 1 4 Who [3588] comforteth [3870] us [2248] in [1909] all [3956] our [2257] tribulation [2347], that [1519] we [2248] may be able [1410] to comfort [3870] them which are in [1722] any [3956] trouble [2347], by [1223] the comfort [3874] wherewith [3739] we [3870] ourselves [846] are comforted [3870] of [5259] God [2316]. 47 1 5 For [3754] as [2531] the sufferings [3804] of Christ [5547] abound [4052] in [1519] us [2248], so [3779] our [2257] consolation [3874] also [2532] aboundeth [4052] by [1223] Christ [5547]. 47 1 6 And [1161] whether [1535] we be afflicted [2346], it is for [5228] your [5216] consolation [3874] and [2532] salvation [4991], which [3588] is effectual [1754] in [1722] the enduring [5281] of the same [846] sufferings [3804] which [3739] we [2249] also [2532] suffer [3958]: or whether [1535] we be comforted [3870], it is for [5228] your [5216] consolation [3874] and [2532] salvation [4991]. 47 1 7 And [2532] our [2257] hope [1680] of [5228] you [5216] is stedfast [949], knowing [1492], that [3754] as [5618] ye are [2075] partakers [2844] of the sufferings [3804], so [3779] shall ye be also [2532] of the consolation [3874]. 47 1 8 For [1063] we would [2309] not [3756], brethren [80], have [50] you [5209] ignorant [50] of [5228] our [2257] trouble [2347] which [3588] came [1096] to us [2254] in [1722] Asia [773], that [3754] we were pressed [2596] out [916] of measure [5236], above [5228] strength [1411], insomuch [5620] that we [2248] despaired [1820] even [2532] of life [2198]: 47 1 9 But [235] [846] we had [2192] the sentence [610] of death [2288] in [1722] ourselves [1438], that [3363] we should [3982] not [3363] trust [3982] in [1909] ourselves [1438] [5600], but [235] in [1909] God [2316] which [3588] raiseth [1453] the dead [3498]: 47 1 10 Who [3739] delivered [4506] us [2248] from [1537] so great [5082] a death [2288], and [2532] doth deliver [4506]: in [1519] whom [3739] we trust [1679] that [3754] he will [4506] [2532] yet [2089] deliver [4506] us; 47 1 11 Ye [5216] also [2532] helping together [4943] by prayer [1162] for [5228] us [2257], that [2443] for the gift [5486] bestowed upon [1519] us [2248] by [1537] the means of many [4183] persons [4383] thanks may be [2168] given [5228] by [1223] many [4183] on our behalf [2257]. 47 1 12 For [1063] our [2257] rejoicing [2746] is [2076] this [3778], the testimony [3142] of our [2257] conscience [4893], that [3754] in [1722] simplicity [572] and [2532] godly [2316] sincerity [1505], not [3756] with [1722] fleshly [4559] wisdom [4678], but [235] by [1722] the grace [5485] of God [2316], we have had our conversation [390] in [1722] the world [2889], and [1161] more abundantly [4056] to [4314] you-ward [5209]. 47 1 13 For [1063] we write [1125] none [3756] other things [243] unto you [5213], than [235] [2228] what [3739] ye read [314] or [2228] [2532] acknowledge [1921]; and [1161] I trust [1679] [3754] ye shall acknowledge [1921] even [2532] to [2193] the end [5056]; 47 1 14 As [2531] also [2532] ye have acknowledged [1921] us [2248] in [575] part [3313], that [3754] we are [2070] your [5216] rejoicing [2745], even as [2509] ye [5210] also [2532] are ours [2257] in [1722] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 47 1 15 And [2532] in this [5026] confidence [4006] I was minded [1014] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] before [4386], that [2443] ye might have [2192] a second [1208] benefit [5485]; 47 1 16 And [2532] to pass [1330] by [1223] you [5216] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], and [2532] to come [2064] again [3825] out of [575] Macedonia [3109] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] of [5259] you [5216] to be brought on my way [4311] toward [1519] Judaea [2449]. 47 1 17 When I [1011] therefore [3767] was [1011] thus [5124] minded [1011], did I use [3385] [686] [5530] lightness [1644]? or [2228] the things that [3739] I purpose [1011], do I purpose [1011] according [2596] to the flesh [4561], that [2443] with [3844] me [1698] there should be [5600] yea [3483] yea [3483], and [2532] nay [3756] nay [3756]? 47 1 18 But [1161] as God [2316] is true [4103], [3754] our [2257] word [3056] toward [4314] you [5209] was [1096] not [3756] yea [3483] and [2532] nay [3756]. 47 1 19 For [1063] the Son [5207] of God [2316], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] was preached [2784] among [1722] you [5213] by [1223] us [2257], even by [1223] me [1700] and [2532] Silvanus [4610] and [2532] Timotheus [5095], was [1096] not [3756] yea [3483] and [2532] nay [3756], but [235] in [1722] him [846] was [1096] yea [3483]. 47 1 20 For [1063] all [3745] the promises [1860] of God [2316] in [1722] him [846] are yea [3483], and [2532] in [1722] him [846] Amen [281], unto [4314] the glory [1391] of God [2316] by [1223] us [2257]. 47 1 21 Now [1161] he which stablisheth [950] us [2248] with [4862] you [5213] in [1519] Christ [5547], and [2532] hath anointed [5548] us [2248], is God [2316]; 47 1 22 Who [3588] hath [4972] also [2532] sealed [4972] us [2248], and [2532] given [1325] the earnest [728] of the Spirit [4151] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588]. 47 1 23 Moreover [1161] I [1473] call [1941] God [2316] for a record [3144] upon [1909] my [1699] soul [5590], that [3754] to spare [5339] you [5216] I came [2064] not as yet [3765] unto [1519] Corinth [2882]. 47 1 24 Not [3756] for that [3754] we have dominion over [2961] your [5216] faith [4102], but [235] are [2070] helpers [4904] of your [5216] joy [5479]: for [1063] by faith [4102] ye stand [2476]. 47 2 1 But [1161] I determined [2919] this [5124] with myself [1683], that I would [2064] not [3361] come [2064] again [3825] to [4314] you [5209] in [1722] heaviness [3077]. 47 2 2 For [1063] if [1487] I [1473] make [3076] you [5209] sorry [3076], who [5101] is he [2076] then [2532] that maketh [2165] me [3165] glad [2165], but [1508] the same which is made sorry [3076] by [1537] me [1700]? 47 2 3 And [2532] I wrote [1125] this [5124] same [846] unto you [5213], lest [3363], when I came [2064], I should have [2192] sorrow [3077] from [575] them of whom [3739] I [3165] ought [1163] to rejoice [5463]; having confidence [3982] in [1909] you [5209] all [3956], that [3754] my [1699] joy [5479] is [2076] the joy of you [5216] all [3956]. 47 2 4 For [1063] out of [1537] much [4183] affliction [2347] and [2532] anguish [4928] of heart [2588] I wrote [1125] unto you [5213] with [1223] many [4183] tears [1144]; not [3756] that [2443] ye should be grieved [3076], but [235] that [2443] ye might know [1097] the love [26] which [3739] I have [2192] more abundantly [4056] unto [1519] you [5209]. 47 2 5 But [1161] if any [1536] have caused grief [3076], he hath [3076] not [3756] grieved [3076] me [1691], but [235] in [575] part [3313]: that [3363] I may [1912] not [3363] overcharge [1912] you [5209] all [3956]. 47 2 6 Sufficient [2425] to such a man [5108] is this [3778] punishment [2009], which [3588] was inflicted of [5259] many [4119]. 47 2 7 So [5620] that contrariwise [5121] ye [5209] ought rather [3123] to forgive [5483] him, and [2532] comfort [3870] him, lest [3381] perhaps [4458] such a one [5108] should be swallowed up [2666] with overmuch [4055] sorrow [3077]. 47 2 8 Wherefore [1352] I beseech [3870] you [5209] that ye would confirm [2964] your love [26] toward [1519] him [846]. 47 2 9 For [1063] to [1519] this end [5124] also [2532] did I write [1125], that [2443] I might know [1097] the proof [1382] of you [5216], whether [1487] ye be [2075] obedient [5255] in [1519] all things [3956]. 47 2 10 [1161] To whom [3739] ye forgive [5483] any thing [5100], I [1473] forgive also [2532]: for [2532] [1063] if I [1473] forgave [5483] any thing [1536], to whom [3739] I forgave [5483] it, for your sakes [1223] [5209] forgave I it in [1722] the person [4383] of Christ [5547]; 47 2 11 Lest [3363] Satan [5259] [4567] should get an advantage of us [4122]: for [1063] we are not [3756] ignorant [50] of his [846] devices [3540]. 47 2 12 Furthermore [1161], when I came [2064] to [1519] Troas [5174] to [1519] preach Christ's [5547] gospel [2098], and [2532] a door [2374] was opened [455] unto me [3427] of [1722] the Lord [2962], 47 2 13 I had [2192] no [3756] rest [425] in my [3450] spirit [4151], because I [3165] found [2147] not [3361] Titus [5103] my [3450] brother [80]: but [235] taking my leave [657] of them [846], I went from thence [1831] into [1519] Macedonia [3109]. 47 2 14 Now [1161] thanks [5485] be unto God [2316], which always [3842] causeth [2358] us [2248] to triumph [2358] in [1722] Christ [5547], and [2532] maketh manifest [5319] the savour [3744] of his [846] knowledge [1108] by [1223] us [2257] in [1722] every [3956] place [5117]. 47 2 15 For [3754] we are [2070] unto God [2316] a sweet savour [2175] of Christ [5547], in [1722] them that are saved [4982], and [2532] in [1722] them that perish [622]: 47 2 16 To [3739] the one [3303] we are the savour [3744] of death [2288] unto [1519] death [2288]; and [1161] to the other [3739] the savour [3744] of life [2222] unto [1519] life [2222]. And [2532] who [5101] is sufficient [2425] for [4314] these things [5023]? 47 2 17 For [1063] we are [2070] not [3756] as [5613] many [4183], which corrupt [2585] the word [3056] of God [2316]: but [235] as [5613] of [1537] sincerity [1505], but [235] as [5613] of [1537] God [2316], in the sight [2714] of God [2316] speak we [2980] in [1722] Christ [5547]. 47 3 1 Do we begin [756] again [3825] to commend [4921] ourselves [1438]? or [1508] need we [5535], as [5613] some [5100] others, epistles [1992] of commendation [4956] to [4314] you [5209], or [2228] letters of commendation [4956] from [1537] you [5216]? 47 3 2 Ye [5210] are [2075] our [2257] epistle [1992] written [1449] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588], known [1097] and [2532] read [314] of [5259] all [3956] men [444]: 47 3 3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared [5319] to [3754] be [2075] the epistle [1992] of Christ [5547] ministered [1247] by [5259] us [2257], written [1449] not [3756] with ink [3188], but [235] with the Spirit [4151] of the living [2198] God [2316]; not [3756] in [1722] tables [4109] of stone [3035], but [235] in [1722] fleshy [4560] tables [4109] of the heart [2588]. 47 3 4 And [1161] such [5108] trust [4006] have we [2192] through [1223] Christ [5547] to [4314] God-ward [2316]: 47 3 5 Not [3756] that [3754] we are [2070] sufficient [2425] of [575] ourselves [1438] to think [3049] any thing [5100] as [5613] of [1537] ourselves [1438]; but [235] our [2257] sufficiency [2426] is of [1537] God [2316]; 47 3 6 Who [3739] also [2532] hath made [2427] us [2248] able [2427] ministers [1249] of the new [2537] testament [1242]; not [3756] of the letter [1121], but [235] of the spirit [4151]: for [1063] the letter [1121] killeth [615], but [1161] the spirit [4151] giveth life [2227]. 47 3 7 But [1161] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of death [2288], written [1722] [1121] and engraven [1795] in [1722] stones [3037], was [1096] glorious [1722] [1391], so [5620] that the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [1410] not [3361] stedfastly behold [816] the face [1519] [4383] of Moses [3475] for [1223] the glory [1391] of his [846] countenance [4383]; which [3588] glory was to be done away [2673]: 47 3 8 How [4459] shall [1248] not [3780] the ministration [1248] of the spirit [4151] be [2071] rather [3123] [1722] glorious [1391]? 47 3 9 For [1063] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of condemnation [2633] be glory [1391], much [4183] more [3123] doth the ministration [1248] of righteousness [1343] exceed [4052] in [1722] glory [1391]. 47 3 10 For [1063] even [2532] that which was made glorious [1392] had no [3761] glory [1392] in [1722] this [5129] respect [3313], by reason [1752] of the glory [1391] that excelleth [5235]. 47 3 11 For [1063] if [1487] that which is done away [2673] was glorious [1223] [1391], much [4183] more [3123] that which remaineth [3306] is glorious [1722] [1391]. 47 3 12 Seeing then [3767] that we have [2192] such [5108] hope [1680], we use [5530] great [4183] plainness of speech [3954]: 47 3 13 And [2532] not [3756] as [2509] Moses [3475], which put [5087] a vail [2571] over [1909] his [1438] face [4383], that [4314] the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [816] not [3361] stedfastly look [816] to [1519] the end [5056] of that which is abolished [2673]: 47 3 14 But [235] their [846] minds [3540] were blinded [4456]: for [1063] until [891] this day [4594] remaineth [3306] the same [846] vail [2571] untaken [3361] away [343] in [1909] the reading [320] of the old [3820] testament [1242]; which [3748] vail is done away [2673] in [1722] Christ [5547]. 47 3 15 But [235] even [2193] unto this day [4594], when [2259] Moses [3475] is read [314], the vail [2571] is upon [2749] [1909] their [846] heart [2588]. 47 3 16 Nevertheless [1161] when [2259] it [302] shall turn [1994] to [4314] the Lord [2962], the vail [2571] shall be taken away [4014]. 47 3 17 Now [1161] the Lord [2962] is [2076] that Spirit [4151]: and [1161] where [3757] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962] is, there [1563] is liberty [1657]. 47 3 18 But [1161] we [2249] all [3956], with open [343] face [4383] beholding as in a glass [2734] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962], are changed [3339] into the same [846] image [1504] from [575] glory [1391] to [1519] glory [1391], even as [2509] by [575] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962]. 47 4 1 Therefore seeing [1223] [5124] we have [2192] this [5026] ministry [1248], as [2531] we have received mercy [1653], we faint [1573] not [3756]; 47 4 2 But [235] have renounced [550] the hidden things [2927] of dishonesty [152], not [3361] walking [4043] in [1722] craftiness [3834], nor [3366] handling [1389] the word [3056] of God [2316] deceitfully [1389]; but [235] by manifestation [5321] of the truth [225] commending [4921] ourselves [1438] to [4314] every [3956] man's [444] conscience [4893] in the sight [1799] of God [2316]. 47 4 3 But [1161] if [1499] our [2257] gospel [2098] be [2076] hid [2572], it is [2076] hid [2572] to [1722] them that are lost [622]: 47 4 4 In [1722] whom [3739] the god [2316] of this [5127] world [165] hath blinded [5186] the minds [3540] of them which believe not [571], lest [1519] [3361] the light [5462] of the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], who [3739] is [2076] the image [1504] of God [2316], should shine [826] unto them [846]. 47 4 5 For [1063] we preach [2784] not [3756] ourselves [1438], but [235] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] the Lord [2962]; and [1161] ourselves [1438] your [5216] servants [1401] for [1223] Jesus [2424]' sake [1223]. 47 4 6 For [3754] God [2316], who [3588] commanded [2036] the light [5457] to shine [2989] out of [1537] darkness [4655], [3739] hath shined [2989] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588], to [4314] give the light [5462] of the knowledge [1108] of the glory [1391] of God [2316] in [1722] the face [4383] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 47 4 7 But [1161] we have [2192] this [5126] treasure [2344] in [1722] earthen [3749] vessels [4632], that [2443] the excellency [5236] of the power [1411] may be [5600] of God [2316], and [2532] not [3361] of [1537] us [2257]. 47 4 8 We are troubled [2346] on [1722] every side [3956], yet [235] not [3756] distressed [4729]; we are perplexed [639], but [235] not [3756] in despair [1820]; 47 4 9 Persecuted [1377], but [235] not [3756] forsaken [1459]; cast down [2598], but [235] not [3756] destroyed [622]; 47 4 10 Always [3842] bearing about [4064] in [1722] the body [4983] the dying [3500] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that [2443] the life [2222] also [2532] of Jesus [2424] might be made manifest [5319] in [1722] our [2257] body [4983]. 47 4 11 For we [2249] which [3588] live [2198] are [3860] alway [104] [1063] delivered [3860] unto [1519] death [2288] for [1223] Jesus [2424]' sake [1223], that [2443] the life [2222] also [2532] of Jesus [2424] might be made manifest [5319] in [1722] our [2257] mortal [2349] flesh [4561]. 47 4 12 So [5620] then [3303] death [2288] worketh [1754] in [1722] us [2254], but [1161] life [2222] in [1722] you [5213]. 47 4 13 [1161] We having [2192] the same [846] spirit [4151] of faith [4102], according as [2596] it is written [1125], I believed [4100], and therefore [1352] have I spoken [2980]; we [2249] also [2532] believe [4100], and [2532] therefore [1352] speak [2980]; 47 4 14 Knowing [1492] that [3754] he which raised up [1453] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] shall raise up [1453] us [2248] also [2532] by [1223] Jesus [2424], and [2532] shall present [3936] us with [4862] you [5213]. 47 4 15 For [1063] all things [3956] are for [1223] your [5209] sakes [1223], that [2443] the abundant [4121] grace [5485] might [4052] through [1223] the thanksgiving [2169] of many [4119] redound [4052] to [1519] the glory [1391] of God [2316]. 47 4 16 For which cause [1352] we faint [1573] not [3756]; but [235] though [1499] our [2257] outward [1854] man [444] perish [1311], yet [235] the inward [2081] man is renewed [341] day [2250] by [2532] day [2250]. 47 4 17 For [1063] our [2257] light [1645] affliction [2347], which [3588] is but for a moment [3910], worketh [2716] for us [2254] a far [2596] [5236] more exceeding [1519] [5236] and eternal [166] weight [922] of glory [1391]; 47 4 18 While [4648] we [2257] look [4648] not [3361] at [4648] the things which are seen [991], but [235] at the things which are [991] not [3361] seen [991]: for [1063] the things which are seen [991] are temporal [4340]; but [1161] the things which are [991] not [3361] seen [991] are eternal [166]. 47 5 1 For [1063] we know [1492] that [3754] if [1437] our [2257] earthly [1919] house [3614] of this tabernacle [4636] were dissolved [2647], we have [2192] a building [3619] of [1537] God [2316], an house [3614] not made with hands [886], eternal [166] in [1722] the heavens [3772]. 47 5 2 For [2532] [1063] in [1722] this [5129] we groan [4727], earnestly desiring [1971] to be clothed upon [1902] with our [2257] house [3613] which [3588] is from [1537] heaven [3772]: 47 5 3 If [1489] so [2532] be that being clothed [1746] we shall [2147] not [3756] be found [2147] naked [1131]. 47 5 4 For [2532] [1063] we that are [5607] in [1722] this tabernacle [4636] do groan [4727], being burdened [916]: not [3756] for that [1894] we would [2309] be unclothed [1562], but [235] clothed upon [1902], that [2443] mortality [2349] might be swallowed up [2666] of [5259] life [2222]. 47 5 5 Now [1161] he that hath wrought [2716] us [2248] for [1519] the selfsame thing [846] [5124] is God [2316], who [3588] also [2532] hath given [1325] unto us [2254] the earnest [728] of the Spirit [4151]. 47 5 6 Therefore [3767] [2532] we are always [3842] confident [2292], knowing [1492] that [3754], whilst we are at home [1736] in [1722] the body [4983], we are absent [1553] from [575] the Lord [2962]: 47 5 7 (For [1063] we walk [4043] by [1223] faith [4102], not [3756] by [1223] sight [1491]:) 47 5 8 We are confident [2292], I say, and [1161] [2532] willing [2106] rather [3123] to be absent [1553] from [1537] the body [4983], and [2532] to be present [1736] with [4314] the Lord [2962]. 47 5 9 Wherefore [1352] we labour [5389], that [2532], whether [1535] present [1736] or [1535] absent [1553], we may be [1511] accepted [2101] of him [846]. 47 5 10 For [1063] we [2248] must [1163] all [3956] appear [5319] before [1715] the judgment seat [968] of Christ [5547]; that [2443] every one [1538] may receive [2865] the things done in [1223] his body [4983], according [4314] to that [3739] he hath done [4238], whether [1535] it be good [18] or [1535] bad [2556]. 47 5 11 Knowing [1492] therefore [3767] the terror [5401] of the Lord [2962], we persuade [3982] men [444]; but [1161] we are made manifest [5319] unto God [2316]; and [1161] I trust [1679] also [2532] are made manifest [5319] in [1722] your [5216] consciences [4893]. 47 5 12 For [1063] we commend [4921] not [3756] ourselves [1438] again [3825] unto you [5213], but [235] give [1325] you [5213] occasion [874] to glory [2745] on [5228] our [2257] behalf [5228], that [2443] ye may have [2192] somewhat to [4314] answer them which glory [2744] in [1722] appearance [4383], and [2532] not [3756] in heart [2588]. 47 5 13 For [1063] whether [1535] we be beside ourselves [1839], it is to God [2316]: or whether [1535] we be sober [4993], it is for your cause [5213]. 47 5 14 For [1063] the love [26] of Christ [5547] constraineth [4912] us [2248]; because we thus [5124] judge [2919], that [3754] if [1487] one [1520] died [599] for [5228] all [3956], then [686] were [599] all [3956] dead [599]: 47 5 15 And [2532] that he died [599] for [5228] all [3956], that [2443] they which live [2198] should [2198] not henceforth [3371] live [2198] unto themselves [1438], but [235] unto him which died [599] for [5228] them [846], and [2532] rose again [1453]. 47 5 16 Wherefore [5620] henceforth [575] [3568] know [1492] we [2249] no man [3762] after [2596] the flesh [4561]: yea [1161], though [1499] we have known [1097] Christ [5547] after [2596] the flesh [4561], yet [235] now [3568] henceforth [3765] know we [1097] him no more [3765]. 47 5 17 Therefore [5620] if any man [1536] be in [1722] Christ [5547], he is a new [2537] creature [2937]: old things [744] are passed away [3928]; behold [2400], all things [3956] are become [1096] new [2537]. 47 5 18 And [1161] all things [3956] are of [1537] God [2316], who [3588] hath reconciled [2644] us [2248] to himself [1438] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] hath given [1325] to us [2254] the ministry [1248] of reconciliation [2643]; 47 5 19 To wit [5613], that [3754] God [2316] was [2258] in [1722] Christ [5547], reconciling [2644] the world [2889] unto himself [1438], not [3361] imputing [3049] their [846] trespasses [3900] unto them [846]; and [2532] hath committed [5087] unto [1722] us [2254] the word [3056] of reconciliation [2643]. 47 5 20 Now then [3767] we are ambassadors [4243] for [5228] Christ [5547], as though [5613] God [2316] did beseech [3870] you by [1223] us [2257]: we pray [1189] you in [5228] Christ's [5547] stead [5228], be ye reconciled [2644] to God [2316]. 47 5 21 For [1063] he hath made [4160] him to be sin [266] for [5228] us [2257], who [3588] knew [1097] no [3361] sin [266]; that [2443] we [2249] might be made [1096] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] in [1722] him [846]. 47 6 1 We [3870] then [1161], as workers together [4903] with him, beseech [3870] you also [2532] that ye [5209] receive [1209] not [3361] the grace [5485] of God [2316] in [1519] vain [2756]. 47 6 2 (For [1063] he saith [3004], I have heard [1873] thee [4675] in a time [2540] accepted [1184], and [2532] in [1722] the day [2250] of salvation [4991] have I succoured [997] thee [4671]: behold [2400], now [3568] is the accepted [2144] time [2540]; behold [2400], now [3568] is the day [2250] of salvation [4991].) 47 6 3 Giving [1325] no [3367] offence [4349] in [1722] any thing [3367], that [3363] the ministry [1248] be [3469] not [3363] blamed [3469]: 47 6 4 But [235] in [1722] all [3956] things approving [4921] ourselves [1438] as [5613] the ministers [1249] of God [2316], in [1722] much [4183] patience [5281], in [1722] afflictions [2347], in [1722] necessities [318], in [1722] distresses [4730], 47 6 5 In [1722] stripes [4127], in [1722] imprisonments [5438], in [1722] tumults [181], in [1722] labours [2873], in [1722] watchings [70], in [1722] fastings [3521]; 47 6 6 By [1722] pureness [54], by [1722] knowledge [1108], by [1722] longsuffering [3115], by [1722] kindness [5544], by [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], by [1722] love [26] unfeigned [505], 47 6 7 By [1722] the word [3056] of truth [225], by [1722] the power [1411] of God [2316], by [1223] the armour [3696] of righteousness [1343] on the right hand [1188] and [2532] on the left [710], 47 6 8 By [1223] honour [1391] and [2532] dishonour [819], by [1223] evil report [1426] and [2532] good report [2162]: as [5613] deceivers [4108], and [2532] yet true [227]; 47 6 9 As [5613] unknown [50], and [2532] yet well known [1921]; as [5613] dying [599], and [2532], behold [2400], we live [2198]; as [5613] chastened [3811], and [2532] not [3361] killed [2289]; 47 6 10 As [5613] sorrowful [3076], yet [1161] alway [104] rejoicing [5463]; as [5613] poor [4434], yet [1161] making [4148] many [4183] rich [4148]; as [5613] having [2192] nothing [3367], and [2532] yet possessing [2722] all things [3956]. 47 6 11 O ye Corinthians [2881], our [2257] mouth [4750] is open [455] unto [4314] you [5209], our [2257] heart [2588] is enlarged [4115]. 47 6 12 Ye are [4729] not [3756] straitened [4729] in [1722] us [2254], but [1161] ye are straitened [4729] in [1722] your own [5216] bowels [4698]. 47 6 13 Now [1161] for a recompence [489] in the same [846], (I speak [3004] as [5613] unto my children [5043],) be [4115] ye [5210] also [2532] enlarged [4115]. 47 6 14 Be ye [1096] not [3361] unequally yoked together [2086] with unbelievers [571]: for [1063] what [5101] fellowship [3352] hath righteousness [1343] with [2532] unrighteousness [458]? and [1161] what [5101] communion [2842] hath light [5457] with [4314] darkness [4655]? 47 6 15 And [1161] what [5101] concord [4857] hath Christ [5547] with [4314] Belial [955]? or [2228] what [5101] part [3310] hath he that believeth [4103] with [3326] an infidel [571]? 47 6 16 And [1161] what [5101] agreement [4783] hath the temple [3485] of God [2316] with [3326] idols [1497]? for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] the temple [3485] of the living [2198] God [2316]; as [2531] God [2316] hath said [2036], [3754] I will dwell [1774] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] walk in [1704] them; and [2532] I will be [2071] their [846] God [2316], and [2532] they [846] shall be [2071] my [3427] people [2992]. 47 6 17 Wherefore [1352] come out [1831] from [1537] among [3319] them [846], and [2532] be ye separate [873], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], and [2532] touch [680] not [3361] the unclean [169] thing; and [2504] I will receive [1523] you [5209], 47 6 18 And [2532] will be [2071] [1519] a Father [3962] unto you [5213], and [2532] ye [5210] shall be [2071] my [3427] sons [5207] [1519] and [2532] daughters [2364], saith [3004] the Lord [2962] Almighty [3841]. 47 7 1 Having [2192] therefore [3767] these [5025] promises [1860], dearly beloved [27], let us cleanse [2511] ourselves [1438] from [575] all [3956] filthiness [3436] of the flesh [4561] and [2532] spirit [4151], perfecting [2005] holiness [42] in [1722] the fear [5401] of God [2316]. 47 7 2 Receive [5562] us [2248]; we have wronged [91] no man [3762], we have corrupted [5351] no man [3762], we have defrauded [4122] no man [3762]. 47 7 3 I speak [3004] not [3756] this to [4314] condemn [2633] you: for [1063] I have said before [4280], that [3754] ye are [2075] in [1722] our [2257] hearts [2588] to [1519] die [4880] and [2532] live with [4800] you. 47 7 4 Great [4183] is my [3427] boldness of speech [3954] toward [4314] you [5209], great [4183] is my [3427] glorying [2746] of [5228] you [5216]: I am filled [4137] with comfort [3874], I am exceeding [5248] joyful [5479] in [1909] all [3956] our [2257] tribulation [2347]. 47 7 5 For [1063] [2532], when we [2257] were come [2064] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], our [2257] flesh [4561] had [2192] no [3762] rest [425], but [235] we were troubled [2346] on [1722] every side [3956]; without [1855] were fightings [3163], within [2081] were fears [5401]. 47 7 6 Nevertheless [235] God [2316], that comforteth [3870] those that are cast down [5011], comforted [3870] us [2248] by [1722] the coming [3952] of Titus [5103]; 47 7 7 And [1161] not [3756] by [1722] his [846] coming [3952] only [3440], but [235] [2532] by [1722] the consolation [3874] wherewith [3739] he was comforted [3870] in [1909] you [5213], when he told [312] us [2254] your [5216] earnest desire [1972], your [5216] mourning [3602], your [5216] fervent mind [2205] toward [5228] me [1700]; so [5620] that I [3165] rejoiced [5463] the more [3123]. 47 7 8 For [3754] though [1499] I made [3076] you [5209] sorry [3076] with [1722] a letter [1992], I do [3338] not [3756] repent [3338], though [1499] I did repent [3338]: for [1063] I perceive [991] that [3754] the same [1565] epistle [1992] hath made [3076] you [5209] sorry [3076], though it were but [1499] for [4314] a season [5610]. 47 7 9 Now [3568] I rejoice [5463], not [3756] that [3754] ye were made sorry [3076], but [235] that [3754] ye sorrowed [3076] to [1519] repentance [3341]: for [1063] ye were made sorry [3076] after [2596] a godly manner [2316], that [2443] ye might receive damage [2210] by [1537] us [2257] in [1722] nothing [3367]. 47 7 10 For [1063] godly [2316] [2596] sorrow [3077] worketh [2716] repentance [3341] to [1519] salvation [4991] not to be repented of [278]: but [1161] the sorrow [3077] of the world [2889] worketh [2716] death [2288]. 47 7 11 For [1063] behold [2400] this [5124] selfsame thing [846], that [5209] ye sorrowed [3076] after [2596] a godly sort [2316], what [4214] carefulness [4710] it wrought [2716] in you [5213], yea [235], what clearing of yourselves [627], yea [235], what indignation [24], yea [235], what fear [5401], yea [235], what vehement desire [1972], yea [235], what zeal [2205], yea [235], what revenge [1557]! In [1722] all [3956] things ye have approved [4921] yourselves [1438] to be [1511] clear [53] in [1722] this matter [4229]. 47 7 12 Wherefore [686], though [1499] I wrote [1125] unto you [5213], I did it not [3756] for his cause [1752] that had done the wrong [91], nor [3761] for his cause [1752] that suffered wrong [91], but [235] that [1752] our [2257] care [4710] for [5228] you [5216] in the sight [1799] of God [2316] might appear [5319] unto [4314] you [5209]. 47 7 13 Therefore [1223] [5124] we were comforted [3870] in [1909] your [5216] comfort [3874]: yea, and [1161] exceedingly [4056] the more [3123] joyed we [5463] for [1909] the joy [5479] of Titus [5103], because [3754] his [846] spirit [4151] was refreshed [373] by [575] you [5216] all [3956]. 47 7 14 For [3754] if I have boasted [2744] any thing [1536] to him [846] of [5228] you [5216], I am [2617] not [3756] ashamed [2617]; but [235] as [5613] we spake [2980] all things [3956] to you [5213] in [1722] truth [225], even [2532] so [3779] our [2257] boasting [2746], which [3588] I made before [1909] Titus [5103], is found [1096] a truth [225]. 47 7 15 And [2532] his [846] inward affection [4698] is [2076] more abundant [4056] toward [1519] you [5209], whilst he remembereth [363] the obedience [5218] of you [5216] all [3956], how [5613] with [3326] fear [5401] and [2532] trembling [5156] ye received [1209] him [846]. 47 7 16 I rejoice [5463] therefore that [3754] I have confidence [2292] in [1722] you [5213] in [1722] all [3956] things. 47 8 1 Moreover [1161], brethren [80], we do [1107] you [5213] to wit [1107] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] bestowed [1325] on [1722] the churches [1577] of Macedonia [3109]; 47 8 2 How that [3754] in [1722] a great [4183] trial [1382] of affliction [2347] the abundance [4050] of their [846] joy [5479] and [2532] their [846] deep [899] poverty [2596] [4432] abounded [4052] unto [1519] the riches [4149] of their [846] liberality [572]. 47 8 3 For [3754] to [2596] their power [1411], I bear record [3140], yea, and [2532] beyond [5228] their power [1411] they were willing of themselves [830]; 47 8 4 Praying [1189] us [2257] with [3326] much [4183] intreaty [3874] that we [2248] would receive [1209] the gift [5485], and [2532] take upon us the fellowship [2842] of the ministering [1248] to [1519] the saints [40]. 47 8 5 And [2532] this they did, not [3756] as [2531] we hoped [1679], but [235] first [4412] gave [1325] their own selves [1438] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] unto us [2254] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316]. 47 8 6 Insomuch [1519] that we [2248] desired [3870] Titus [5103], that [2443] as [2531] he had begun [4278], so [3779] he would [2005] also [2532] finish [2005] in [1519] you [5209] the same [5026] grace [5485] also [2532]. 47 8 7 Therefore [235], as [5618] ye abound [4052] in [1722] every [3956] thing, in faith [4102], and [2532] utterance [3056], and [2532] knowledge [1108], and [2532] in all [3956] diligence [4710], and [2532] in your [5216] love [26] [1537] to [1722] us [2254], see that [2443] ye abound [4052] in [1722] this [5026] grace [5485] also [2532]. 47 8 8 I speak [3004] not [3756] by [2596] commandment [2003], but [235] by occasion [1223] of the forwardness [4710] of others [2087], and [2532] to prove [1381] the sincerity [1103] of your [5212] love [26]. 47 8 9 For [1063] ye know [1097] the grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [3754], though he was [5607] rich [4145], yet for [1223] your [5209] sakes [1223] he became poor [4433], that [2443] ye [5210] through his [1565] poverty [4432] might be rich [4147]. 47 8 10 And [2532] herein [1722] [5129] I give [1325] my advice [1106]: for [1063] this [5124] is expedient [4851] for you [5213], who [3748] have begun before [4278], not [3756] only [3440] to do [4160], but [235] also [2532] to be forward [2309] a year [4070] ago [575]. 47 8 11 Now [3570] [1161] therefore [2532] perform [2005] the doing [4160] of it; that [3704] as [2509] there was a readiness [4288] to will [2309], so [3779] there may be a performance [2005] also [2532] out of [1537] that which ye have [2192]. 47 8 12 For [1063] if there [1487] be first [4295] a willing mind [4288], it is accepted [2144] according to [2526] that [1437] a man [5100] hath [2192], and not [3756] according to that [2526] he hath [2192] not [3756]. 47 8 13 For [1063] I mean not [3756] that [2443] other men [243] be eased [425], and [1161] ye [5213] burdened [2347]: 47 8 14 But [235] by [1537] an equality [2471], that now [3568] at [1722] this time [2540] your [5216] abundance [4051] may be a supply for [1519] their [1565] want [5303], that [2443] their [1565] abundance [4051] also [2532] may be [1096] a supply for [1519] your [5216] want [5303]: that [3704] there may be [1096] equality [2471]: 47 8 15 As [2531] it is written [1125], He that had gathered [3588] much [4183] had [4121] nothing [3756] over [4121]; and [2532] he that had gathered [3588] little [3641] had [1641] no [3756] lack [1641]. 47 8 16 But [1161] thanks [5485] be to God [2316], which [3588] put [1325] the same [846] earnest care [4710] into [1722] the heart [2588] of Titus [5103] for [5228] you [5216]. 47 8 17 For [3754] indeed [3303] he accepted [1209] the exhortation [3874]; but [1161] being [5225] more forward [4707], of his own accord [830] he went [1831] unto [4314] you [5209]. 47 8 18 And [1161] we have sent [4842] with [3326] him [846] the brother [80], whose [3739] praise [1868] is in [1722] the gospel [2098] throughout [1223] all [3956] the churches [1577]; 47 8 19 And [1161] not [3756] that only [3440], but [235] who was [5500] also [2532] chosen [5500] of [5259] the churches [1577] to travel [4898] with us [2257] with [4862] this [5026] grace [5485], which [3588] is administered [1247] by [5259] us [2257] to [4314] the glory [1391] of the same [846] Lord [2962], and [2532] declaration of your [5216] ready mind [4288]: 47 8 20 Avoiding [4724] this [5124], that no [3361] man [5100] should blame [3469] us [2248] in [1722] this [5026] abundance [100] which [3588] is administered [1247] by [5259] us [2257]: 47 8 21 Providing [4306] for honest things [2570], not [3756] only [3440] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], but [235] also [2532] in the sight [1799] of men [444]. 47 8 22 And [1161] we have sent [4842] with them [846] our [2257] brother [80], whom [3739] we have [1381] oftentimes [4178] proved [1381] [5607] diligent [4705] in [1722] many things [4183], but [1161] now [3570] much [4183] more diligent [4707], upon the great [4183] confidence [4006] which [3588] I have in [1519] you [5209]. 47 8 23 Whether [1535] any do enquire of [5228] Titus [5103], he is my [1699] partner [2844] and [2532] fellowhelper [4904] concerning [1519] you [5209]: or [1535] our [2257] brethren [80] be enquired of, they are the messengers [652] of the churches [1577], and the glory [1391] of Christ [5547]. 47 8 24 Wherefore [3767] shew ye [1731] to [1519] them [846], and [2532] before [1519] [4383] the churches [1577], the proof [1732] of your [5216] love [26], and [2532] of our [2257] boasting [2746] on [5228] your [5216] behalf [5228]. 47 9 1 For [1063] as [3303] touching [4012] the ministering [1248] to [1519] the saints [40], it is [2076] superfluous [4053] for me [3427] to write [1125] to you [5213]: 47 9 2 For [1063] I know [1492] the forwardness of [4288] your [5216] mind [4288], for which [3739] I boast [2744] of [5228] you [5216] to them of Macedonia [3110], that [3754] Achaia [882] was ready [3903] a year [4070] ago [575]; and [2532] your [5216] zeal [2205] [1537] hath provoked [2042] very many [4119]. 47 9 3 Yet [1161] have I sent [3992] the brethren [80], lest [3363] our [2257] boasting [2745] of [5228] you [5216] should be in vain [2758] in [1722] this [5129] behalf [3313]; that [2443], as [2531] I said [3004], ye may be [5600] ready [3903]: 47 9 4 Lest [3381] haply [4458] if [1437] they of Macedonia [3110] come [2064] with [4862] me [1698], and [2532] find [2147] you [5209] unprepared [532], we [2249] (that [3363] we say [3004] not [3363], ye [5210]) should be ashamed [2617] in [1722] this same [5026] confident [5287] boasting [2746]. 47 9 5 Therefore [3767] I thought [2233] it necessary [316] to exhort [3870] the brethren [80], that [2443] they would go before [4281] unto [1519] you [5209], and [2532] make up beforehand [4294] your [5216] bounty [2129], whereof ye had notice before [4293], that the same [5026] might be [1511] ready [2092], [3779] as [5613] a matter of bounty [2129], and [2532] not [3361] as [5618] of covetousness [4124]. 47 9 6 But [1161] this [5124] I say, He which soweth [4687] sparingly [5340] shall reap [2325] also [2532] sparingly [5340]; and [2532] he which soweth [4687] bountifully [1909] [2129] shall reap [2325] also [2532] bountifully [1909] [2129]. 47 9 7 Every man [1538] according as [2531] he purposeth [4255] in his heart [2588], so let him give; not [3361] grudgingly [1537] [3077], or [2228] of [1537] necessity [318]: for [1063] God [2316] loveth [25] a cheerful [2431] giver [1395]. 47 9 8 And [1161] God [2316] is able [1415] to make [4052] all [3956] grace [5485] abound [4052] toward [1519] you [5209]; that [2443] ye, always [3842] having [2192] all [3956] sufficiency [841] in [1722] all [3956] things, may abound [4052] to [1519] every [3956] good [18] work [2041]: 47 9 9 (As [2531] it is written [1125], He hath dispersed abroad [4650]; he hath given [1325] to the poor [3993]: his [846] righteousness [1343] remaineth [3306] for [1519] ever [165]. 47 9 10 Now [1161] he that ministereth [2023] seed [4690] to the sower [4687] both [2532] minister [5524] bread [740] for [1519] your food [1035], and [2532] multiply [4129] your [5216] seed sown [4703], and [2532] increase [837] the fruits [1081] of your [5216] righteousness [1343];) 47 9 11 Being enriched [4148] in [1722] every thing [3956] to [1519] all [3956] bountifulness [572], which [3748] causeth [2716] through [1223] us [2257] thanksgiving [2169] to God [2316]. 47 9 12 For [3754] the administration [1248] of this [5026] service [3009] not [3756] only [3440] supplieth [2076] [4322] the want [5303] of the saints [40], but [235] is abundant [4052] also [2532] by [1223] many [4183] thanksgivings [2169] unto God [2316]; 47 9 13 Whiles by [1223] the experiment [1382] of this [5026] ministration [1248] they glorify [1392] God [2316] for [1909] your [5216] professed [3671] subjection [5292] unto [1519] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], and [2532] for your liberal [572] distribution [2842] unto [1519] them [846], and [2532] unto [1519] all [3956] men; 47 9 14 And [2532] by their [846] prayer [1162] for [5228] you [5216], which long after [1971] you [5209] for [1223] the exceeding [5235] grace [5485] of God [2316] in [1909] you [5213]. 47 9 15 [1161] Thanks [5485] be unto God [2316] for [1909] his [846] unspeakable [411] gift [1431]. 47 10 1 Now [1161] I [1473] Paul [3972] myself [846] beseech [3870] you [5209] by [1223] the meekness [4236] and [2532] gentleness [1932] of Christ [5547], who [3739] in [2596] presence [4383] am base [3303] [5011] among [1722] you [5213], but [1161] being absent [548] am bold [2292] toward [1519] you [5209]: 47 10 2 But [1161] I beseech [1189] you, that I may not [3361] be bold [2292] when I am present [3918] with that confidence [4006], wherewith [3739] I think [3049] to be bold [5111] against [1909] some [5100], which [3588] think [3049] of us [2248] as [5613] if we walked [4043] according [2596] to the flesh [4561]. 47 10 3 For [1063] though we walk [4043] in [1722] the flesh [4561], we do [4754] not [3756] war [4754] after [2596] the flesh [4561]: 47 10 4 (For [1063] the weapons [3696] of our [2257] warfare [4752] are not [3756] carnal [4559], but [235] mighty [1415] through God [2316] to [4314] the pulling down [2506] of strong holds [3794];) 47 10 5 Casting down [2507] imaginations [3053], and [2532] every [3956] high thing [5313] that exalteth itself [1869] against [2596] the knowledge [1108] of God [2316], and [2532] bringing into captivity [163] every [3956] thought [3540] to [1519] the obedience [5218] of Christ [5547]; 47 10 6 And [2532] having [2192] in [1722] a readiness [2092] to revenge [1556] all [3956] disobedience [3876], when [3752] your [5216] obedience [5218] is fulfilled [4137]. 47 10 7 Do ye look on [991] things after [2596] the outward appearance [4383]? If any man [1536] trust [3982] to himself [1438] that he is [1511] Christ's [5547], let him [3049] of [575] himself [1438] think [3049] this [5124] again [3825], that [3754], as [2531] he [846] is Christ's [5547], even [2532] so [3779] are we [2249] Christ's [5547]. 47 10 8 For [1063] [2532] though [1437] [5037] I should boast [2744] somewhat [5100] more [4055] of [4012] our [2257] authority [1849], which [3739] the Lord [2962] hath given [1325] us [2254] for [1519] edification [3619], and [2532] not [3756] for [1519] your [5216] destruction [2506], I should [153] not [3756] be ashamed [153]: 47 10 9 That [3363] I may [1380] not [3363] seem [1380] as [5613] if [302] I would terrify [1629] you [5209] by [1223] letters [1992]. 47 10 10 For [3754] his letters [1992] [3303], say they [5346], are weighty [926] and [2532] powerful [2478]; but [1161] his bodily [4983] presence [3952] is weak [772], and [2532] his speech [3056] contemptible [1848]. 47 10 11 Let [3049] such an one [5108] think [3049] this [5124], that [3754], such as [3634] we are [2070] in word [3056] by [1223] letters [1992] when we are absent [548], such [5108] will we be also [2532] in deed [2041] when we are present [3918]. 47 10 12 For [1063] we dare [5111] not [3756] make [1469] ourselves of the number [1469], or [2228] compare [4793] ourselves [1438] with [4793] some [5100] that commend [4921] themselves [1438]: but [235] they [846] measuring [3354] themselves [1438] by [1722] themselves [1438], and [2532] comparing [4793] themselves [1438] among [4793] themselves [1438], are [4920] not [3756] wise [4920]. 47 10 13 But [1161] we [2249] will [2744] not [3780] boast [2744] of things without [1519] our measure [280], but [235] according [2596] to the measure [3358] of the rule [2583] which [3739] God [2316] hath distributed [3307] to us [2254], a measure [3358] to reach [2185] even [2532] unto [891] you [5216]. 47 10 14 For [1063] we stretch [5239] not [3756] ourselves [1438] beyond [5239] our measure, as [5613] though we reached [2185] not [3361] unto [1519] you [5209]: for [1063] we are come [5348] as far as [891] to you [5216] also [2532] in [1722] preaching the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: 47 10 15 Not [3756] boasting [2744] of things without [1519] our measure [280], that is, of [1722] other men's [245] labours [2873]; but [1161] having [2192] hope [1680], when your [5216] faith [4102] is increased [837], that we shall be enlarged [3170] by [1722] you [5213] according [2596] to our [2257] rule [2583] abundantly [1519] [4050], 47 10 16 To preach the gospel [2097] in [1519] the regions beyond [5238] you [5216], and not [3756] to boast [2744] in [1722] another man's [245] line [2583] of [1519] things made ready to our hand [2092]. 47 10 17 But [1161] he that glorieth [2744], let him glory [2744] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 47 10 18 For [1063] not [3756] he [1565] that commendeth [4921] himself [1438] is [2076] approved [1384], but [235] whom [3739] the Lord [2962] commendeth [4921]. 47 11 1 Would to God [3785] ye could bear [430] with me [3450] a little [3397] in my folly [877]: and [2532] indeed [235] bear [430] with me [3450]. 47 11 2 For [1063] I am jealous [2206] over you [5209] with godly [2316] jealousy [2205]: for [1063] I have espoused [718] you [5209] to one [1520] husband [435], that I may present [3936] you as a chaste [53] virgin [3933] to Christ [5547]. 47 11 3 But [1161] I fear [5399], lest [3381] by any means [4458], as [5613] the serpent [3789] beguiled [1818] Eve [2096] through [1722] his [846] subtilty [3834], so [3779] your [5216] minds [3540] should be corrupted [5351] from [575] the simplicity [572] that is in [1519] Christ [5547]. 47 11 4 For [1063] if [1487] [3303] he that cometh [2064] preacheth [2784] another [243] Jesus [2424], whom [3739] we have [2784] not [3756] preached [2784], or [2228] if ye receive [2983] another [2087] spirit [4151], which [3739] ye have [2983] not [3756] received [2983], or [2228] another [2087] gospel [2098], which [3739] ye have [1209] not [3756] accepted [1209], ye might [430] well [2573] bear with [430] him. 47 11 5 For [1063] I suppose [3049] I was [5302] not a whit [3367] behind [5302] the very [5228] chiefest [3029] apostles [652]. 47 11 6 But [1161] though [1499] I be rude [2399] in speech [3056], yet [235] not [3756] in knowledge [1108]; but [235] we have been throughly [1722] [3956] made manifest [5319] among [1519] you [5209] in [1722] all things [3956]. 47 11 7 [2228] Have I committed [4160] an offence [266] in abasing [5013] myself [1683] that [2443] ye [5210] might be exalted [5312], because [3754] I have preached [2097] to you [5213] the gospel [2098] of God [2316] freely [1432]? 47 11 8 I robbed [4813] other [243] churches [1577], taking [2983] wages [3800] of them, to [4314] do [1248] you [5216] service [1248]. 47 11 9 And [2532] when I was present [3918] with [4314] you [5209], and [2532] wanted [5302], I was [3756] chargeable [2655] to no man [3762]: for [1063] that which was lacking [5303] to me [3450] the brethren [80] which came [2064] from [575] Macedonia [3109] supplied [4322]: and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] things I have kept [5083] myself [1683] from being burdensome [4] unto you [5213], and [2532] so will I keep [5083] myself. 47 11 10 As the truth [225] of Christ [5547] is [2076] in [1722] me [1698], [3754] no man [3756] shall stop [4972] [5420] me [1519] [1691] of this [3778] boasting [2746] in [1722] the regions [2824] of Achaia [882]. 47 11 11 Wherefore [1302]? because [3754] I love [25] you [5209] not [3756]? God [2316] knoweth [1492]. 47 11 12 But [1161] what [3739] I do [4160], that [2532] I will do [4160], that [2443] I may cut off [1581] occasion [874] from them which desire [2309] occasion [874]; that [2443] wherein [1722] [3739] they glory [2744], they may be found [2147] even [2532] as [2531] we [2249]. 47 11 13 For [1063] such [5108] are false apostles [5570], deceitful [1386] workers [2040], transforming themselves [3345] into [1519] the apostles [652] of Christ [5547]. 47 11 14 And [2532] no [3756] marvel [2298]; for [1063] Satan [4567] himself [846] is transformed [3345] into [1519] an angel [32] of light [5457]. 47 11 15 Therefore [3767] it is no [3756] great thing [3173] if [1499] his [846] ministers [1249] also [1499] be transformed [3345] as [5613] the ministers [1249] of righteousness [1343]; whose [3739] end [5056] shall be [2071] according [2596] to their [846] works [2041]. 47 11 16 I say [3004] again [3825], Let [1380] no [3361] man [5100] think [1380] me [1511] [3165] a fool [878]; if otherwise [1490], yet [2579] as [5613] a fool [878] receive [1209] me [3165], that [2443] I [2504] may boast myself [2744] a [5100] little [3397]. 47 11 17 That which [3739] I speak [2980], I speak [2980] it not [3756] after [2596] the Lord [2962], but [235] as [5613] it were foolishly [1722] [877], in [1722] this [5026] confidence [5287] of boasting [2746]. 47 11 18 Seeing that [1893] many [4183] glory [2744] after [2596] the flesh [4561], I will glory [2744] also [2504]. 47 11 19 For [1063] ye suffer [430] fools [878] gladly [2234], seeing ye yourselves are [5607] wise [5429]. 47 11 20 For [1063] ye suffer [430], if a man [1536] bring [2615] you [5209] into bondage [2615], if a man [1536] devour [2719] you, if a man [1536] take [2983] of you, if a man [1536] exalt himself [1869], if a man [1536] smite [1194] you [5209] on [1519] the face [4383]. 47 11 21 I speak [3004] as concerning [2596] reproach [819], as [5613] though [3754] we [2249] had been weak [770]. Howbeit [1161] whereinsoever [1722] [3739] [302] any [5100] is bold [5111], (I speak [3004] foolishly [1722] [877],) I am bold [5111] also [2504]. 47 11 22 Are they [1526] Hebrews [1445]? so am I [2504]. Are they [1526] Israelites [2475]? so am I [2504]. Are they [1526] the seed [4690] of Abraham [11]? so am I [2504]. 47 11 23 Are they [1526] ministers [1249] of Christ [5547]? (I speak [2980] as a fool [3912] I [1473] am more [5228]; in [1722] labours [2873] more abundant [4056], in [1722] stripes [4127] above measure [5234], in [1722] prisons [5438] more frequent [4056], in [1722] deaths [2288] oft [4178]. 47 11 24 Of [5259] the Jews [2453] five times [3999] received I [2983] forty [5062] stripes save [3844] one [3391]. 47 11 25 Thrice [5151] was I beaten with rods [4463], once [530] was I stoned [3034], thrice [5151] I suffered shipwreck [3489], a night and a day [3574] I have been [4160] in [1722] the deep [1037]; 47 11 26 In journeyings [3597] often [4178], in perils [2794] of waters [4215], in perils [2794] of robbers [3027], in perils [2794] by [1537] mine own countrymen [1085], in perils [2794] by [1537] the heathen [1484], in perils [2794] in [1722] the city [4172], in perils [2794] in [1722] the wilderness [2047], in perils [2794] in [1722] the sea [2281], in perils [2794] among [1722] false brethren [5569]; 47 11 27 In [1722] weariness [2873] and [2532] painfulness [3449], in [1722] watchings [70] often [4178], in [1722] hunger [3042] and [2532] thirst [1373], in [1722] fastings [3521] often [4178], in [1722] cold [5592] and [2532] nakedness [1132]. 47 11 28 Beside [5565] those things that are without [3924], that which [3588] cometh upon [1999] me [3450] daily [2250], [2596] the care [3308] of all [3956] the churches [1577]. 47 11 29 Who [5101] is weak [770], and [2532] I am [770] not [3756] weak [770]? who [5101] is offended [4624], and [2532] I [1473] burn [4448] not [3756]? 47 11 30 If [1487] I must needs [1163] glory [2744], I will glory [2744] of the things which concern [3588] mine [3450] infirmities [769]. 47 11 31 The God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which [3588] is [5607] blessed [2128] for [1519] evermore [165], knoweth [1492] that I [3754] lie [5574] not [3756]. 47 11 32 In [1722] Damascus [1154] the governor [1481] under Aretas [702] the king [935] kept [5432] the city [4172] of the Damascenes [1153] with a garrison [5432], desirous [2309] to apprehend [4084] me [3165]: 47 11 33 And [2532] through [1223] a window [2376] in [1722] a basket [4553] was I let down [5465] by [1223] the wall [5038], and [2532] escaped [1628] his [846] hands [5495]. 47 12 1 It is [4851] not [3756] expedient [4851] for me [3427] doubtless [1211] to glory [2744]. [1063] I will come [2064] to [1519] visions [3701] and [2532] revelations [602] of the Lord [2962]. 47 12 2 I knew [1492] a man [444] in [1722] Christ [5547] above [4253] fourteen [1180] years [2094] ago [4253], (whether [1535] in [1722] the body [4983], I cannot [3756] tell [1492]; or whether [1535] out [1622] of the body [4983], I cannot [3756] tell [1492]: God [2316] knoweth [1492] such an one [5108] caught up [726] to [2193] the third [5154] heaven [3772]. 47 12 3 And [2532] I knew [1492] such [5108] a man [444], (whether [1535] in [1722] the body [4983], or [1535] out [1622] of the body [4983], I cannot [3756] tell [1492]: God [2316] knoweth [1492] 47 12 4 How that [3754] he was caught up [726] into [1519] paradise [3857], and [2532] heard [191] unspeakable [731] words [4487], which [3739] it is [1832] not [3756] lawful [1832] for a man [444] to utter [2980]. 47 12 5 Of [5228] such an one [5108] will I glory [2744]: yet [1161] of [5228] myself [1683] I will [2744] not [3756] glory [2744], but [1508] in [1722] mine [3450] infirmities [769]. 47 12 6 For [1063] though [1437] I would desire [2309] to glory [2744], I shall [2071] not [3756] be [2071] a fool [878]; for [1063] I will say [2046] the truth [225]: but [1161] now I forbear [5339], lest [3361] any man [5100] should think [3049] of [1519] me [1691] above [5228] that which [3739] he seeth [991] me [3165] to be, or [2228] that he heareth [191] of [5100] [1537] me [1700]. 47 12 7 And [2532] lest [3363] I should be exalted above measure [5229] through the abundance [5236] of the revelations [602], there was given [1325] to me [3427] a thorn [4647] in the flesh [4561], the messenger [32] of Satan [4566] to [2443] buffet [2852] me [3165], lest [3363] I should be exalted above measure [5229]. 47 12 8 For [5228] this thing [5127] I besought [3870] the Lord [2962] thrice [5151], that [2443] it might depart [868] from [575] me [1700]. 47 12 9 And [2532] he said [2046] unto me [3427], My [3450] grace [5485] is sufficient [714] for thee [4671]: for [1063] my [3450] strength [1411] is made perfect [5048] in [1722] weakness [769]. Most gladly [2236] therefore [3767] will I [2744] rather [3123] glory [2744] in [1722] my [3450] infirmities [769], that [2443] the power [1411] of Christ [5547] may rest [1981] upon [1909] me [1691]. 47 12 10 Therefore [1352] I take pleasure [2106] in [1722] infirmities [769], in [1722] reproaches [5196], in [1722] necessities [318], in [1722] persecutions [1375], in [1722] distresses [4730] for [5228] Christ's [5547] sake [5228]: for [1063] when [3752] I am weak [770], then [5119] am [1510] I strong [1415]. 47 12 11 I am become [1096] a fool [878] in glorying [2744]; ye [5210] have compelled [315] me [3165]: for [1063] I [1473] ought [3784] to have been commended [4921] of [5259] you [5216]: for [1063] in nothing [3762] am I behind [5302] the very chiefest [3029] apostles [652] [5228], though [1499] I be [1510] nothing [3762]. 47 12 12 Truly [3303] the signs [4592] of an apostle [652] were wrought [2716] among [1722] you [5213] in [1722] all [3956] patience [5281], in [1722] signs [4592], and [2532] wonders [5059], and [2532] mighty deeds [1411]. 47 12 13 For [1063] what [5101] is it [2076] wherein [3739] ye were inferior [2274] to [5228] other [3062] churches [1577], except [1508] it be that [3754] I [1473] myself [846] was [2655] not [3756] burdensome [2655] to you [5216]? forgive [5483] me [3427] this [5026] wrong [93]. 47 12 14 Behold [2400], the third time [5154] I am [2192] ready [2093] to come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]; and [2532] I will [2655] not [3756] be burdensome [2655] to you [5216]: for [1063] I seek [2212] not [3756] yours [5216], but [235] you [5209]: for [1063] the children [5043] ought [3784] not [3756] to lay up [2343] for the parents [1118], but [235] the parents [1118] for the children [5043]. 47 12 15 And [1161] I [1473] will very gladly [2236] spend [1159] and [2532] be spent [1550] for [5228] you [5590] [5216]; though [1499] the more abundantly [4056] I love [25] you [5209], the less [2276] I be loved [25]. 47 12 16 But [1161] be it so [2077], I [1473] did [2599] not [3756] burden [2599] you [5209]: nevertheless [235], being [5225] crafty [3835], I caught [2983] you [5209] with guile [1388]. 47 12 17 Did I make a gain [4122] [3361] of you [5209] by [1223] any [5100] of them [846] whom [3739] I sent [649] unto [4314] you [5209]? 47 12 18 I desired [3870] Titus [5103], and [2532] with him I sent [4882] a brother [80]. Did [4122] [3387] Titus [5103] make a gain [4122] of you [5209]? walked we [4043] not [3756] in the same [846] spirit [4151]? walked we not [3756] in the same [846] steps [2487]? 47 12 19 Again [3825], think ye [1380] that [3754] we excuse ourselves [626] unto you [5213]? we speak [2980] before [2714] God [2316] in [1722] Christ [5547]: but [1161] we do all things [3956], dearly beloved [27], for [5228] your [5216] edifying [3619]. 47 12 20 For [1063] I fear [5399], lest [3381] [4458], when I come [2064], I shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] you [5209] such as [3634] I would [2309], and that I [2504] shall be found [2147] unto you [5213] such as [3634] ye would [2309] not [3756]: lest [3381] [4458] there be debates [2054], envyings [2205], wraths [2372], strifes [2052], backbitings [2636], whisperings [5587], swellings [5450], tumults [181]: 47 12 21 And lest [3361], when I come [2064] again [3825], my [3450] God [2316] will humble [5013] me [3165] among [4314] you [5209], and [2532] that I shall bewail [3996] many [4183] which [3588] have sinned already [4258], and [2532] have [3340] not [3361] repented [3340] of [1909] the uncleanness [167] and [2532] fornication [4202] and [2532] lasciviousness [766] which [3739] they have committed [4238]. 47 13 1 This [5124] is the third [5154] time I am coming [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. In [1909] the mouth [4750] of two [1417] or [2532] three [5140] witnesses [3144] shall [2476] every [3956] word [4487] be established [2476]. 47 13 2 I told you before [4280], and [2532] foretell you [4302], as if [5613] I were present [3918], the second [1208] time; and [2532] being absent [548] now [3568] I write [1125] to them which heretofore have sinned [4258], and [2532] to all [3956] other [3062], that [3754], if [1437] I come [2064] again [1519] [3825], I will [5339] not [3756] spare [5339]: 47 13 3 Since [1893] ye seek [2212] a proof [1382] of Christ [5547] speaking [2980] in [1722] me [1698], which [3739] to [1519] you-ward [5209] is [770] not [3756] weak [770], but [235] is mighty [1414] in [1722] you [5213]. 47 13 4 For [1063] [2532] though [1487] he was crucified [4717] through [1537] weakness [769], yet [235] he liveth [2198] by [1537] the power [1411] of God [2316]. For [1063] we [2249] also [2532] are weak [770] in [1722] him [846], but [235] we shall live [2198] with [4862] him [846] by [1537] the power [1411] of God [2316] toward [1519] you [5209]. 47 13 5 Examine [3985] yourselves [1438], whether [1487] ye be [2075] in [1722] the faith [4102]; prove [1381] your own selves [1438]. [2228] Know ye [1921] not [3756] your own selves [1438], how that [3754] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is [2076] in [1722] you [5213], except [1509] ye be [2075] reprobates [5100] [96]? 47 13 6 But [1161] I trust [1679] that [3754] ye shall know [1097] that [3754] we [2249] are [2070] not [3756] reprobates [96]. 47 13 7 Now [1161] I pray [2172] to [4314] God [2316] that ye [5209] do [3361] [4160] no [3367] evil [2556]; not [3756] that [2443] we [2249] should appear [5316] approved [1384], but [235] that [2443] ye [5210] should do [4160] that which is honest [2570], though [1161] we [2249] be [5600] as [5613] reprobates [96]. 47 13 8 For [1063] we can do [1410] nothing [3756] [5100] against [2596] the truth [225], but [235] for [5228] the truth [225]. 47 13 9 For [1063] we [2249] are glad [5463], when [3752] we are weak [770], and [1161] ye [5210] are [5600] strong [1415]: and [1161] this [5124] also [2532] we wish [2172], even your [5216] perfection [2676]. 47 13 10 Therefore [5124] [1223] I write [1125] these things [5023] being absent [548], lest [3363] being present [3918] I should use [5530] sharpness [664], according [2596] to the power [1849] which [3739] the Lord [2962] hath given [1325] me [3427] to [1519] edification [3619], and [2532] not [3756] to [1519] destruction [2506]. 47 13 11 Finally [3063], brethren [80], farewell [5463]. Be perfect [2675], be of good comfort [3870], be of one [846] mind [5426], live in peace [1514]; and [2532] the God [2316] of love [26] and [2532] peace [1515] shall be [2071] with [3326] you [5216]. 47 13 12 Greet [782] one another [240] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. 47 13 13 All [3956] the saints [40] salute [782] you [5209]. 47 13 14 The grace [5485] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] the love [26] of God [2316], and [2532] the communion [2842] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 48 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652], (not [3756] of [575] men [444], neither [3761] by [1223] man [444], but [235] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] God [2316] the Father [3962], who [3588] raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498];) 48 1 2 And [2532] all [3956] the brethren [80] which are with [4862] me [1698], unto the churches [1577] of Galatia [1053]: 48 1 3 Grace [5485] be to you [5213] and [2532] peace [1515] from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962], and [2532] from our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], 48 1 4 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] for [5228] our [2257] sins [266], that [3704] he might deliver [1807] us [2248] from [1537] this present [1764] evil [4190] world [165], according [2596] to the will [2307] of God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962]: 48 1 5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 48 1 6 I marvel [2296] that [3754] ye are [3346] so [3779] soon [5030] removed [3346] from [575] him that called [2564] you [5209] into [1722] the grace [5485] of Christ [5547] unto [1519] another [2087] gospel [2098]: 48 1 7 Which [3739] is [2076] not [3756] another [243]; but there be [1526] some [5100] that [1508] trouble [5015] you [5209], and [2532] would [2309] pervert [3344] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]. 48 1 8 But [235] though [2532] [1437] we [2249], or [2228] an angel [32] from [1537] heaven [3772], preach any other gospel [2097] unto you [5213] than [3844] that which [3739] we have preached [2097] unto you [5213], let him be [2077] accursed [331]. 48 1 9 As [5613] we said before [4280], so [2532] say I [3004] now [737] again [3825], If any [1536] man preach [2097] any other [3844] gospel [2097] unto you [5209] than [3844] that [3739] ye have received [3880], let him be [2077] accursed [331]. 48 1 10 For [1063] do I [3982] now [737] persuade [3982] men [444], or [2228] God [2316]? or [2228] do I seek [2212] to please [700] men [444]? for [1063] if [1487] I [700] yet [2089] pleased [700] men [444], I should [302] not [3756] be [2252] the servant [1401] of Christ [5547]. 48 1 11 But [1161] I certify [1107] you [5213], brethren [80], that [3754] the gospel [2098] which [3588] was preached [2097] of [5259] me [1700] is [2076] not [3756] after [2596] man [444]. 48 1 12 For [1063] I [1473] neither [3761] received [3880] it [846] of [3844] man [444], neither [3777] was I taught [1321] it, but [235] by [1223] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 48 1 13 For [1063] ye have heard [191] of my [1699] conversation [391] in time past [4218] in [1722] the Jews' religion [2454], how that [3754] beyond [2596] measure [5236] I persecuted [1377] the church [1577] of God [2316], and [2532] wasted [4199] it [846]: 48 1 14 And [2532] profited [4298] in [1722] the Jews' religion [2454] above [5228] many [4183] my equals [4915] in [1722] mine own [3450] nation [1085], being [5225] more exceedingly [4056] zealous [2207] of the traditions [3862] of my [3450] fathers [3967]. 48 1 15 But [1161] when [3753] it pleased [2106] God [2316], who [3588] separated [873] me [3165] from [1537] my [3450] mother's [3384] womb [2836], and [2532] called [2564] me by [1223] his [846] grace [5485], 48 1 16 To reveal [601] his [846] Son [5207] in [1722] me [1698], that [2443] I might preach [2097] him [846] among [1722] the heathen [1484]; immediately [2112] I conferred [4323] not [3756] with flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129]: 48 1 17 Neither [3761] went I up [424] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414] to [4314] them which were apostles [652] before [4253] me [1700]; but [235] I went [565] into [1519] Arabia [688], and [2532] returned [5290] again [3825] unto [1519] Damascus [1154]. 48 1 18 Then [1899] after [3326] three [5140] years [2094] I went up [424] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414] to see [2477] Peter [4074], and [2532] abode [1961] with [4314] him [846] fifteen [1178] days [2250]. 48 1 19 But [1161] other [2087] of the apostles [652] saw I [1492] none [3756], save [1508] James [2385] the Lord's [2962] brother [80]. 48 1 20 Now [1161] the things which [3739] I write [1125] unto you [5213], behold [2400], before [1799] God [2316], [3754] I lie [5574] not [3756]. 48 1 21 Afterwards [1899] I came [2064] into [1519] the regions [2824] of Syria [4947] and [2532] Cilicia [2791]; 48 1 22 And [1161] was [2252] unknown [50] by face [4383] unto the churches [1577] of Judaea [2449] which [3588] were in [1722] Christ [5547]: 48 1 23 But [1161] they had [2258] heard [191] only [3440], That [3754] he which persecuted [1377] us [2248] in times past [4218] now [3568] preacheth [2097] the faith [4102] which [3739] once [4218] he destroyed [4199]. 48 1 24 And [2532] they glorified [1392] God [2316] in [1722] me [1698]. 48 2 1 Then [1899] fourteen [1180] years [2094] after [1223] I went up [305] again [3825] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414] with [3326] Barnabas [921], and took [4838] Titus [5103] with me [4838] also [2532]. 48 2 2 And [1161] I went up [305] by [2596] revelation [602], and [2532] communicated [394] unto them [846] that gospel [2098] which [3739] I preach [2784] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484], but [1161] privately [2596] [2398] to them which were of reputation [1380], lest by any means [3381] [4458] I should run [5143], or [2228] had run [5143], in [1519] vain [2756]. 48 2 3 But [235] neither [3761] Titus [5103], who [3588] was with [4862] me [1698], being [5607] a Greek [1672], was compelled [315] to be circumcised [4059]: 48 2 4 And [1161] that because of [1223] false brethren [5569] unawares brought in [3920], who [3748] came in privily [3922] to spy out [2684] our [2257] liberty [1657] which [3739] we have [2192] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], that [2443] they might bring [2615] us [2248] into bondage [2615]: 48 2 5 To whom [3739] we gave place [1502] by subjection [5292], no, not [3761] for [4314] an hour [5610]; that [2443] the truth [225] of the gospel [2098] might continue [1265] with [4314] you [5209]. 48 2 6 But [1161] of [575] these who seemed [1380] to be [1511] somewhat [5100], (whatsoever [3697] [4218] they were [2258], it maketh [1308] no [3762] matter [1308] to me [3427]: God [2316] accepteth [2983] no [3756] man's [444] person [4383]:) for [1063] they who seemed [1380] to be somewhat in conference added [4323] nothing [3762] to me [1698]: 48 2 7 But [235] contrariwise [5121], when they saw [1492] that [3754] the gospel [2098] of the uncircumcision [203] was committed unto me [4100], as [2531] the gospel of the circumcision [4061] was unto Peter [4074]; 48 2 8 (For [1063] he that wrought effectually [1754] in Peter [4074] to [1519] the apostleship [651] of the circumcision [4061], the same [2532] was mighty [1754] in me [1698] toward [1519] the Gentiles [1484]:) 48 2 9 And [2532] when James [2385], [2532] Cephas [2786], and [2532] John [2491], who [3588] seemed [1380] to be [1511] pillars [4769], perceived [1097] the grace [5485] that was given [1325] unto me [3427], they gave [1325] to me [1698] and [2532] Barnabas [921] the right hands [1188] of fellowship [2842]; that [2443] we [2249] should go unto [1519] the heathen [1484], and [1161] they [846] unto [1519] the circumcision [4061]. 48 2 10 Only [3440] they would that [2443] we should remember [3421] the poor [4434]; the same [846] [5124] which [3739] I [4704] also [2532] was forward [4704] to do [4160]. 48 2 11 But [1161] when [3753] Peter [4074] was come [2064] to [1519] Antioch [490], I withstood [436] him [846] to [2596] the face [4383], because [3754] he was [2258] to be blamed [2607]. 48 2 12 For [1063] before [4253] that certain [5100] came [2064] from [575] James [2385], he did eat [4906] with [3326] the Gentiles [1484]: but [1161] when [3753] they were come [2064], he withdrew [5288] and [2532] separated [873] himself [1438], fearing [5399] them which were of [1537] the circumcision [4061]. 48 2 13 And [2532] the other [3062] Jews [2453] dissembled [4942] likewise [2532] with him [846]; insomuch [5620] that Barnabas [921] also [2532] was carried away [4879] with their [846] dissimulation [5272]. 48 2 14 But [235] when [3753] I saw [1492] that [3754] they walked [3716] not [3756] uprightly [3716] according to [4314] the truth [225] of the gospel [2098], I said [2036] unto Peter [4074] before [1715] them all [3956], If [1487] thou [4771], being [5225] a Jew [2453], livest [2198] after the manner of Gentiles [1483], and [2532] not [3756] as do the Jews [2452], why [5101] compellest thou [315] the Gentiles [1484] to live as do the Jews [2450]? 48 2 15 We [2249] who are Jews [2453] by nature [5449], and [2532] not [3756] sinners [268] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484], 48 2 16 Knowing [1492] that [3754] a man [444] is [1344] not [3756] justified [1344] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], but [3362] by [1223] the faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], even [2532] we [2249] have believed [4100] in [1519] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551]: for [1360] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] shall [1344] no [3756] [3956] flesh [4561] be justified [1344]. 48 2 17 But [1161] if [1487], while we seek [2212] to be justified [1344] by [1722] Christ [5547], we [2147] ourselves [846] also [2532] are found [2147] sinners [268], is therefore [687] Christ [5547] the minister [1249] of sin [266]? God forbid [3361] [1096]. 48 2 18 For [1063] if [1487] I build [3618] again [3825] the things [5023] which [3739] I destroyed [2647], I make [4921] myself [1683] a transgressor [3848]. 48 2 19 For [1063] I [1473] through [1223] the law [3551] am dead [599] to the law [3551], that [2443] I might live [2198] unto God [2316]. 48 2 20 I am crucified [4957] with Christ [5547]: nevertheless [1161] I live [2198]; yet not [3765] I [1473], but [1161] Christ [5547] liveth [2198] in [1722] me [1698]: and [1161] the life which [3739] I [2198] now [3568] live [2198] in [1722] the flesh [4561] I live [2198] by [1722] the faith [4102] of the Son [5207] of God [2316], who [3588] loved [25] me [3165], and [2532] gave [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] me [1700]. 48 2 21 I do [114] not [3756] frustrate [114] the grace [5485] of God [2316]: for [1063] if [1487] righteousness [1343] come by [1223] the law [3551], then [686] Christ [5547] is dead [599] in vain [1432]. 48 3 1 O [5599] foolish [453] Galatians [1052], who [5101] hath bewitched [940] you [5209], that ye should [3982] not [3361] obey [3982] the truth [225], before [2596] whose [3739] eyes [3788] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] hath been evidently set forth [4270], crucified [4717] among [1722] you [5213]? 48 3 2 This [5124] only [3440] would [2309] I learn [3129] of [575] you [5216], Received ye [2983] the Spirit [4151] by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], or [2228] by [1537] the hearing [189] of faith [4102]? 48 3 3 Are ye [2075] so [3779] foolish [453]? having begun [1728] in the Spirit [4151], are ye [2005] now [3568] made perfect [2005] by the flesh [4561]? 48 3 4 Have ye suffered [3958] so many things [5118] in vain [1500]? if it be yet [1489] [2532] in vain [1500]. 48 3 5 He therefore [3767] that ministereth [2023] to you [5213] the Spirit [4151], and [2532] worketh [1754] miracles [1411] among [1722] you [5213], doeth he it by [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551], or [2228] by [1537] the hearing [189] of faith [4102]? 48 3 6 Even as [2531] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was accounted [3049] to him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]. 48 3 7 Know ye [1097] therefore [686] that [3754] they which are of [1537] faith [4102], the same [3778] are [1526] the children [5207] of Abraham [11]. 48 3 8 And [1161] the scripture [1124], foreseeing [4275] that [3754] God [2316] would justify [1344] the heathen [1484] through [1537] faith [4102], preached before the gospel [4283] unto Abraham [11], saying, [3754] In [1722] thee [4671] shall [1757] all [3956] nations [1484] be blessed [1757]. 48 3 9 So then [5620] they which be of [1537] faith [4102] are blessed [2127] with [4862] faithful [4103] Abraham [11]. 48 3 10 For [1063] as many as [3745] are [1526] of [1537] the works [2041] of the law [3551] are [1526] under [5259] the curse [2671]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Cursed [1944] is every one [3956] that [3739] continueth [1696] not [3756] in [1722] all things [3956] which [3588] are written [1125] in [1722] the book [975] of the law [3551] to do [4160] them [846]. 48 3 11 But [1161] that [3754] no man [3762] is justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551] in the sight [3844] of God [2316], it is evident [1212]: for [3754], The just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102]. 48 3 12 And [1161] the law [3551] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] faith [4102]: but [235], The man [444] that doeth [4160] them [846] shall live [2198] in [1722] them [846]. 48 3 13 Christ [5547] hath redeemed [1805] us [2248] from [1537] the curse [2671] of the law [3551], being made [1096] a curse [2671] for [5228] us [2257]: for [1063] it is written [1125], Cursed [1944] is every one [3956] that hangeth [2910] on [1909] a tree [3586]: 48 3 14 That [2443] the blessing [2129] of Abraham [11] might come [1096] on [1519] the Gentiles [1484] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; that [2443] we might receive [2983] the promise [1860] of the Spirit [4151] through [1223] faith [4102]. 48 3 15 Brethren [80], I speak [3004] after the manner of [2596] men [444]; Though it be but [3676] a man's [444] covenant [1242], yet if it be confirmed [2964], no man [3762] disannulleth [114], or [2228] addeth thereto [1928]. 48 3 16 Now [1161] to Abraham [11] and [2532] his [846] seed [4690] were [4483] the promises [1860] made [4483]. He saith [3004] not [3756], And [2532] to seeds [4690], as [5613] of [1909] many [4183]; but [235] as [5613] of [1909] one [1520], And [2532] to thy [4675] seed [4690], which [3739] is [2076] Christ [5547]. 48 3 17 And [1161] this [5124] I say [3004], that the covenant [1242], that was confirmed before [4300] of [5259] God [2316] in [1519] Christ [5547], the law [3551], which was [1096] four hundred [5071] and [2532] thirty [5144] years [2094] after [3326], cannot [3756] disannul [208], that [1519] it should make [2673] the promise [1860] of none effect [2673]. 48 3 18 For [1063] if [1487] the inheritance [2817] be of [1537] the law [3551], it is no more [3765] of [1537] promise [1860]: but [1161] God [2316] gave [5483] it to Abraham [11] by [1223] promise [1860]. 48 3 19 Wherefore [5101] then [3767] serveth the law [3551]? It was added [4369] because of [5484] transgressions [3847], till [891] [3739] the seed [4690] should come [2064] to whom [3739] the promise was made [1861]; and it was ordained [1299] by [1223] angels [32] in [1722] the hand [5495] of a mediator [3316]. 48 3 20 Now [1161] a mediator [3316] is [2076] not [3756] a mediator of one [1520], but [1161] God [2316] is [2076] one [1520]. 48 3 21 Is the law [3551] then [3767] against [2596] the promises [1860] of God [2316]? God forbid [3361] [1096]: for [1063] if [1487] there had been [1325] a law [3551] given [1325] which [3588] could [1410] have given life [2227], verily [3689] righteousness [1343] should [302] have been [2258] by [1537] the law [3551]. 48 3 22 But [235] the scripture [1124] hath concluded [4788] all [3956] under [5259] sin [266], that [2443] the promise [1860] by [1537] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] might be given [1325] to them that believe [4100]. 48 3 23 But [1161] before [4253] faith [4102] came [2064], we were kept [5432] under [5259] the law [3551], shut up [4788] unto [1519] the faith [4102] which should afterwards [3195] be revealed [601]. 48 3 24 Wherefore [5620] the law [3551] was [1096] our [2257] schoolmaster [3807] to bring us unto [1519] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102]. 48 3 25 But [1161] after that faith [4102] is come [2064], we are [2070] no longer [2089] [3765] under [5259] a schoolmaster [3807]. 48 3 26 For [1063] ye are [2075] all [3956] the children [5207] of God [2316] by [1223] faith [4102] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 48 3 27 For [1063] as many of you as [3745] have been baptized [907] into [1519] Christ [5547] have put on [1746] Christ [5547]. 48 3 28 There is [1762] neither [3756] Jew [2453] nor [3761] Greek [1672], there is [1762] neither [3756] bond [1401] nor [3761] free [1658], there is [1762] neither [3756] male [730] nor [2532] female [2338]: for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] all [3956] one [1520] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 48 3 29 And [1161] if [1487] ye [5210] be Christ's [5547], then [686] are ye [2075] Abraham's [11] seed [4690], and [2532] heirs [2818] according [2596] to the promise [1860]. 48 4 1 Now [1161] I say [3004], That the heir [2818], as long as [1909] [3745] [5550] he is [2076] a child [3516], differeth [1308] nothing [3762] from a servant [1401], though he be [5607] lord [2962] of all [3956]; 48 4 2 But [235] is [2076] under [5259] tutors [2012] and [2532] governors [3623] until [891] the time appointed [4287] of the father [3962]. 48 4 3 Even [2532] so [3779] we [2249], when [3753] we were [2258] children [3516], were [2258] in bondage [1402] under [5259] the elements [4747] of the world [2889]: 48 4 4 But [1161] when [3753] the fulness [4138] of the time [5550] was come [2064], God [2316] sent forth [1821] his [846] Son [5207], made [1096] of [1537] a woman [1135], made [1096] under [5259] the law [3551], 48 4 5 To [2443] redeem [1805] them that were under [5259] the law [3551], that [2443] we might receive [618] the adoption of sons [5206]. 48 4 6 And [1161] because [3754] ye are [2075] sons [5207], God [2316] hath sent forth [1821] the Spirit [4151] of his [846] Son [5207] into [1519] your [5216] hearts [2588], crying [2896], Abba [5], Father [3962]. 48 4 7 Wherefore [5620] thou art [1488] no more [3765] a servant [1401], but [235] a son [5207]; and [1161] if [1487] a son [5207], then [2532] an heir [2818] of God [2316] through [1223] Christ [5547]. 48 4 8 Howbeit [235] then [5119] [3303], when ye knew [1492] not [3756] God [2316], ye did service [1398] unto them which by nature [5449] are [5607] no [3361] gods [2316]. 48 4 9 But [1161] now [3568], after that ye have known [1097] God [2316], or [1161] rather [3123] are known [1097] of [5259] God [2316], how [4459] turn ye [1994] again [3825] to [1909] the weak [772] and [2532] beggarly [4434] elements [4747], whereunto [3739] ye desire [2309] again [3825] [509] to be in bondage [1398]? 48 4 10 Ye observe [3906] days [2250], and [2532] months [3376], and [2532] times [2540], and [2532] years [1763]. 48 4 11 I am afraid [5399] of you [5209], lest [3381] [4458] I have bestowed [2872] upon [1519] you [5209] labour [2872] in vain [1500]. 48 4 12 Brethren [80], I beseech [1189] you [5216], be [1096] as [5613] I [1473] am; for [3754] I [2504] am as [5613] ye [5210] are: ye have not injured [91] me [3165] at all [3762]. 48 4 13 [1161] Ye know [1492] how [3754] through [1223] infirmity [769] of the flesh [4561] I preached the gospel [2097] unto you [5213] at the first [4386]. 48 4 14 And [2532] my [3450] temptation [3986] which was in [1722] my [3450] flesh [4561] ye despised [1848] not [3756], nor [3761] rejected [1609]; but [235] received [1209] me [3165] as [5613] an angel [32] of God [2316], even as [5613] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 48 4 15 Where [5101] is [2258] then [3767] the blessedness [3108] ye [5216] spake of? for [1063] I bear [3140] you [5213] record [3140], that [3754], if [1487] it had been possible [1415], ye would have plucked out [1846] your [5216] own eyes [3788], and have given them [302] [1325] to me [3427]. 48 4 16 Am I [1096] therefore [5620] become [1096] your [5216] enemy [2190], because I tell [226] you [5213] the truth [226]? 48 4 17 They zealously affect [2206] you [5209], but not [3756] well [2573]; yea [235], they would [2309] exclude [1576] you [5209], that [2443] ye might affect [2206] them [846]. 48 4 18 But [1161] it is good [2570] to be zealously affected [2206] always [3842] in [1722] a good [2570] thing, and [2532] not [3361] only [3440] when [1722] I [3165] am present [3918] with [4314] you [5209]. 48 4 19 My [3450] little children [5040], of whom [3739] I travail in birth [5605] again [3825] until [891] [3739] Christ [5547] be formed [3445] in [1722] you [5213], 48 4 20 [1161] I desire [2309] to be present [3918] with [4314] you [5209] now [737], and [2532] to change [236] my [3450] voice [5456]; for [3754] I stand in doubt [639] of [1722] you [5213]. 48 4 21 Tell [3004] me [3427], ye that desire [2309] to be [1511] under [5259] the law [3551], do ye [191] not [3756] hear [191] the law [3551]? 48 4 22 For [1063] it is written [1125], that [3754] Abraham [11] had [2192] two [1417] sons [5207], the one [1520] by [1537] a bondmaid [3814], [2532] the other [1520] by [1537] a freewoman [1658]. 48 4 23 But [235] he [3303] who was of [1537] the bondwoman [3814] was born [1080] after [2596] the flesh [4561]; but [1161] he of [1537] the freewoman [1658] was by [1223] promise [1860]. 48 4 24 Which things [3748] are [2076] an allegory [238]: for [1063] these [3778] are [1526] the two [1417] covenants [1242]; the one [3391] [3303] from [575] the mount [3735] Sinai [4614], which gendereth [1080] to [1519] bondage [1397], which [3748] is [2076] Agar [28]. 48 4 25 For [1063] this Agar [28] is [2076] mount [3735] Sinai [4614] in [1722] Arabia [688], and [1161] answereth [4960] to Jerusalem [2419] which [3588] now is [3568], and [1161] is in bondage [1398] with [3326] her [846] children [5043]. 48 4 26 But [1161] Jerusalem [2419] which is above [507] is [2076] free [1658], which [3748] is [2076] the mother [3384] of us [2257] all [3956]. 48 4 27 For [1063] it is written [1125], Rejoice [2165], thou barren [4723] that bearest [5088] not [3756]; break forth [4486] and [2532] cry [994], thou that travailest [5605] not [3756]: for [3754] the desolate [2048] hath many more [4183] children [5043] than [3123] [2228] she which hath [2192] an husband [435]. 48 4 28 Now [1161] we [2249], brethren [80], as [2596] Isaac [2464] was [2596], are [2070] the children [5043] of promise [1860]. 48 4 29 But [235] as [5618] then [5119] he that was born [1080] after [2596] the flesh [4561] persecuted [1377] him that was born after [2596] the Spirit [4151], even [2532] so [3779] it is now [3568]. 48 4 30 Nevertheless [235] what [5101] saith [3004] the scripture [1124]? Cast out [1544] the bondwoman [3814] and [2532] her [846] son [5207]: for [1063] the son [5207] of the bondwoman [3814] shall [2816] not [3364] be heir [2816] with [3326] the son [5207] of the freewoman [1658]. 48 4 31 So then [686], brethren [80], we are [2070] not [3756] children [5043] of the bondwoman [3814], but [235] of the free [1658]. 48 5 1 Stand fast [4739] therefore [3767] in the liberty [1657] wherewith [3739] Christ [5547] hath made [1659] us [2248] free [1659], and [2532] be [1758] not [3361] entangled [1758] again [3825] with the yoke [2218] of bondage [1397]. 48 5 2 Behold [2396], I [1473] Paul [3972] say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] if [1437] ye be circumcised [4059], Christ [5547] shall profit [5623] you [5209] nothing [3762]. 48 5 3 For [1161] I testify [3143] again [3825] to every [3956] man [444] that is circumcised [4059], that [3754] he is [2076] a debtor [3781] to do [4160] the whole [3650] law [3551]. 48 5 4 Christ [5547] is become of no effect unto you [575] [2673], whosoever of you [3748] are justified [1344] by [1722] the law [3551]; ye are fallen from [1601] grace [5485]. 48 5 5 For [1063] we [2249] through the Spirit [4151] wait for [553] the hope [1680] of righteousness [1343] by [1537] faith [4102]. 48 5 6 For [1063] in [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] neither [3777] circumcision [4061] availeth [2480] any thing [5100], nor [3777] uncircumcision [203]; but [235] faith [4102] which worketh [1754] by [1223] love [26]. 48 5 7 Ye did run [5143] well [2573]; who [5101] did hinder [348] [1465] you [5209] that ye should [3982] not [3361] obey [3982] the truth [225]? 48 5 8 This persuasion [3988] cometh not [3756] of [1537] him that calleth [2564] you [5209]. 48 5 9 A little [3398] leaven [2219] leaveneth [2220] the whole [3650] lump [5445]. 48 5 10 I [1473] have confidence [3982] in [1519] you [5209] through [1722] the Lord [2962], that [3754] ye will be [5426] none [3762] otherwise [243] minded [5426]: but [1161] he that troubleth [5015] you [5209] shall bear [941] his judgment [2917], whosoever [3748] he be [302] [5600]. 48 5 11 And [1161] I [1473], brethren [80], if [1487] I [2784] yet [2089] preach [2784] circumcision [4061], why [5101] do I [1377] yet [2089] suffer persecution [1377]? then [686] is [2673] the offence [4625] of the cross [4716] ceased [2673]. 48 5 12 I would [3785] they were [609] even [2532] cut off [609] which trouble [387] you [5209]. 48 5 13 For [1063], brethren [80], ye [5210] have been called [2564] unto [1909] liberty [1657]; only [3440] use not [3361] liberty [1657] for [1519] an occasion [874] to the flesh [4561], but [235] by [1223] love [26] serve [1398] one another [240]. 48 5 14 For [1063] all [3956] the law [3551] is fulfilled [4137] in [1722] one [1520] word [3056], even in [1722] this; Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [1438]. 48 5 15 But [1161] if [1487] ye bite [1143] and [2532] devour [2719] one another [240], take heed [991] that ye be [335] not [3361] consumed [355] one [240] of [5259] another [240]. 48 5 16 This I say [3004] then [1161], Walk [4043] in the Spirit [4151], and [2532] ye shall [5055] not [3364] fulfil [5055] the lust [1939] of the flesh [4561]. 48 5 17 For [1063] the flesh [4561] lusteth [1937] against [2596] the Spirit [4151], and [1161] the Spirit [4151] against [2596] the flesh [4561]: and [1161] these [5023] are contrary [480] the one to the other [240]: so that [2443] ye cannot [3363] do [4160] the things [5023] that [3739] [302] ye would [2309]. 48 5 18 But [1161] if [1487] ye be led [71] of the Spirit [4151], ye are [2075] not [3756] under [5259] the law [3551]. 48 5 19 Now [1161] the works [2041] of the flesh [4561] are [2076] manifest [5318], which [3748] are [2076] these; Adultery [3430], fornication [4202], uncleanness [167], lasciviousness [766], 48 5 20 Idolatry [1495], witchcraft [5331], hatred [2189], variance [2054], emulations [2205], wrath [2372], strife [2052], seditions [1370], heresies [139], 48 5 21 Envyings [5355], murders [5408], drunkenness [3178], revellings [2970], and [2532] such [5125] like [3664]: of the which [3739] I tell [4302] you [5213] before [4302], as [2531] I have [4277] also [2532] told you in time past [4277], that [3754] they which do [4238] such things [5108] shall [2816] not [3756] inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]. 48 5 22 But [1161] the fruit [2590] of the Spirit [4151] is [2076] love [26], joy [5479], peace [1515], longsuffering [3115], gentleness [5544], goodness [19], faith [4102], 48 5 23 Meekness [4236], temperance [1466]: against [2596] such [5108] there is [2076] no [3756] law [3551]. 48 5 24 And [1161] they that are [3588] Christ's [5547] have crucified [4717] the flesh [4561] with [4862] the affections [3804] and [2532] lusts [1939]. 48 5 25 If [1487] we live [2198] in the Spirit [4151], let us [4748] also [2532] walk [4748] in the Spirit [4151]. 48 5 26 Let us [1096] not [3361] be [1096] desirous of vain glory [2755], provoking [4292] one another [240], envying [5354] one another [240]. 48 6 1 Brethren [80], if [1437] [2532] a man [444] be overtaken [4301] in [1722] a [5100] fault [3900], ye [5210] which [3588] are spiritual [4152], restore [2675] such an one [5108] in [1722] the spirit [4151] of meekness [4236]; considering [4648] thyself [4572], lest [3361] thou [4771] also [2532] be tempted [3985]. 48 6 2 Bear ye [941] one another's [240] burdens [922], and [2532] so [3779] fulfil [378] the law [3551] of Christ [5547]. 48 6 3 For [1063] if a man [1536] think himself [1380] to be [1511] something [5100], when he is [5607] nothing [3367], he deceiveth [5422] himself [1438]. 48 6 4 But [1161] let [1381] every man [1538] prove [1381] his own [1438] work [2041], and [2532] then [5119] shall he have [2192] rejoicing [2745] in [1519] himself [1438] alone [3441], and [2532] not [3756] in [1519] another [2087]. 48 6 5 For [1063] every man [1538] shall bear [941] his own [2398] burden [5413]. 48 6 6 Let [1161] him that is taught [2727] in the word [3056] communicate [2841] unto him that teacheth [2727] in [1722] all [3956] good things [18]. 48 6 7 Be [4105] not [3361] deceived [4105]; God [2316] is [3456] not [3756] mocked [3456]: for [1063] whatsoever [3739] [1437] a man [444] soweth [4687], that [5124] shall he [2325] also [2532] reap [2325]. 48 6 8 For [3754] he that soweth [4687] to [1519] his [1438] flesh [4561] shall [2325] of [1537] the flesh [4561] reap [2325] corruption [5356]; but [1161] he that soweth [4687] to [1519] the Spirit [4151] shall [2325] of [1537] the Spirit [4151] reap [2325] life [2222] everlasting [166]. 48 6 9 And [1161] let us [1573] not [3361] be weary [1573] in well [2570] doing [4160]: for [1063] in due [2398] season [2540] we shall reap [2325], if we faint [1590] not [3361]. 48 6 10 As [5613] we have [2192] therefore [686] [3767] opportunity [2540], let us do [2038] good [18] unto [4314] all [3956] men, especially [1161] [3122] unto [4314] them who are of the household [3609] of faith [4102]. 48 6 11 Ye see [1492] how large [4080] a letter [1121] I have written [1125] unto you [5213] with mine own [1699] hand [5495]. 48 6 12 As many as [3745] desire [2309] to make a fair shew [2146] in [1722] the flesh [4561], they [3778] constrain [315] you [5209] to be circumcised [4059]; only [3440] lest [3363] they should suffer persecution [1377] for the cross [4716] of Christ [5547]. 48 6 13 For [1063] neither [3761] they themselves [846] who are circumcised [4059] keep [5442] the law [3551]; but [235] desire [2309] to have [4059] you [5209] circumcised [4059], that [2443] they may glory [2744] in [1722] your [5212] flesh [4561]. 48 6 14 But [1161] God forbid [3361] [1096] that I [1698] should glory [2744], save [1508] in [1722] the cross [4716] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], by [1223] whom [3739] the world [2889] is crucified [4717] unto me [1698], and I [2504] unto the world [2889]. 48 6 15 For [1063] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] neither [3777] circumcision [4061] availeth [2480] any thing [5100], nor [3777] uncircumcision [203], but [235] a new [2537] creature [2937]. 48 6 16 And [2532] as many as [3745] walk [4748] according to [2583] this [5129] rule [2583], peace [1515] be on [1909] them [846], and [2532] mercy [1656], and [2532] upon [1909] the Israel [2474] of God [2316]. 48 6 17 From henceforth [3064] let [3930] no man [3367] trouble [3930] me [2873] [3427]: for [1063] I [1473] bear [941] in [1722] my [3450] body [4983] the marks [4742] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 48 6 18 Brethren [80], the grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] your [5216] spirit [4151]. Amen [281]. 49 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], to the saints [40] which are [5607] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], and [2532] to the faithful [4103] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 49 1 2 Grace [5485] be to you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] from the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 49 1 3 Blessed [2128] be the God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] hath blessed [2127] us [2248] with [1722] all [3956] spiritual [4152] blessings [2129] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547]: 49 1 4 According as [2531] he hath chosen [1586] us [2248] in [1722] him [846] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], that we [2248] should be [1511] holy [40] and [2532] without blame [299] before [2714] him [846] in [1722] love [26]: 49 1 5 Having predestinated [4309] us [2248] unto [1519] the adoption of children [5206] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] to [1519] himself [846], according [2596] to the good pleasure [2107] of his [846] will [2307], 49 1 6 To [1519] the praise [1868] of the glory [1391] of his [846] grace [5485], wherein [1722] [3739] he hath made [5487] us [2248] accepted [5487] in [1722] the beloved [25]. 49 1 7 In [1722] whom [3739] we have [2192] redemption [629] through [1223] his [846] blood [129], the forgiveness [859] of sins [3900], according [2596] to the riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485]; 49 1 8 Wherein [3739] he hath abounded [4052] toward [1519] us [2248] in [1722] all [3956] wisdom [4678] and [2532] prudence [5428]; 49 1 9 Having made known [1107] unto us [2254] the mystery [3466] of his [846] will [2307], according to [2596] his [846] good pleasure [2107] which [3739] he hath purposed [4388] in [1722] himself [846]: 49 1 10 That in [1519] the dispensation [3622] of the fulness [4138] of times [2540] he might gather together in one [346] all things [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547], both [5037] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] which [3588] are on [1909] earth [1093]; even in [1722] him [846]: 49 1 11 In [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] we have obtained an inheritance [2820], being predestinated [4309] according to [2596] the purpose [4286] of him who worketh [1754] all things [3956] after [2596] the counsel [1012] of his own [846] will [2307]: 49 1 12 That [1519] we [2248] should be [1511] to [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391], who [3588] first trusted [4276] in [1722] Christ [5547]. 49 1 13 In [1722] whom [3739] ye [5210] also [2532] trusted, after that ye heard [191] the word [3056] of truth [225], the gospel [2098] of your [5216] salvation [4991]: in [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] after that ye believed [4100], ye were sealed with [4972] that holy [40] Spirit [4151] of promise [1860], 49 1 14 Which [3739] is [2076] the earnest [728] of our [2257] inheritance [2817] until [1519] the redemption [629] of the purchased possession [4047], unto [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391]. 49 1 15 Wherefore [1223] [5124] I also [2504], after I heard [191] of [2596] your [5209] faith [4102] in [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] love [26] unto [1519] all [3956] the saints [40], 49 1 16 Cease [3973] not [3756] to give thanks [2168] for [5228] you [5216], making [4160] mention [3417] of you [5216] in [1909] my [3450] prayers [4335]; 49 1 17 That [2443] the God [2316] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Father [3962] of glory [1391], may give [1325] unto you [5213] the spirit [4151] of wisdom [4678] and [2532] revelation [602] in [1722] the knowledge [1922] of him [846]: 49 1 18 The eyes [3788] of your [5216] understanding [1271] being enlightened [5461]; that [1519] ye [5209] may know [1492] what [5101] is [2076] the hope [1680] of his [846] calling [2821], and [2532] what [5101] the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of his [846] inheritance [2817] in [1722] the saints [40], 49 1 19 And [2532] what [5101] is the exceeding [5235] greatness [3174] of his [846] power [1411] to [1519] us-ward [2248] who [3588] believe [4100], according to [2596] the working [1753] of his [846] mighty [2479] power [2904], 49 1 20 Which [3739] he wrought [1754] in [1722] Christ [5547], when he raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] set [2523] him at [1722] his own [846] right hand [1188] in [1722] the heavenly [2032] places, 49 1 21 Far above [5231] all [3956] principality [746], and [2532] power [1849], and [2532] might [1411], and [2532] dominion [2963], and [2532] every [3956] name [3686] that is named [3687], not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] that which is to come [3195]: 49 1 22 And [2532] hath put [5293] all [3956] things under [5259] his [846] feet [4228], and [2532] gave [1325] him [846] to be the head [2776] over [5228] all [3956] things to the church [1577], 49 1 23 Which [3748] is [2076] his [846] body [4983], the fulness [4138] of him that filleth [4137] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956]. 49 2 1 And [2532] you [5209] hath he quickened, who were [5607] dead [3498] in trespasses [3900] and [2532] sins [266]; 49 2 2 Wherein [1722] [3739] in time past [4218] ye walked [4043] according to [2596] the course [165] of this [5127] world [2889], according to [2596] the prince [758] of the power [1849] of the air [109], the spirit [4151] that now [3568] worketh [1754] in [1722] the children [5207] of disobedience [543]: 49 2 3 Among [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] we [2249] all [3956] had our conversation [390] in times past [4218] in [1722] the lusts [1939] of our [2257] flesh [4561], fulfilling [4160] the desires [2307] of the flesh [4561] and [2532] of the mind [1271]; and [2532] were [2258] by nature [5449] the children [5043] of wrath [3709], even [2532] as [5613] others [3062]. 49 2 4 But [1161] God [2316], who is [5607] rich [4145] in [1722] mercy [1656], for [1223] his [846] great [4183] love [26] wherewith [3739] he loved [25] us [2248], 49 2 5 Even [2532] when we [2248] were [5607] dead [3498] in sins [3900], hath quickened us together with [4806] Christ [5547], (by grace [5485] ye are [2075] saved [4982] 49 2 6 And [2532] hath raised us up together [4891], and [2532] made us sit together [4776] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 49 2 7 That [2443] in [1722] the ages [165] to come [1904] he might shew [1731] the exceeding [5235] riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485] in [1722] his kindness [5544] toward [1909] us [2248] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 49 2 8 For [1063] by grace [5485] are ye [2075] saved [4982] through [1223] faith [4102]; and [2532] that [5124] not [3756] of [1537] yourselves [5216]: it is the gift [1435] of God [2316]: 49 2 9 Not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], lest [3363] any man [5100] should boast [2744]. 49 2 10 For [1063] we are [2070] his [846] workmanship [4161], created [2936] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] unto [1909] good [18] works [2041], which [3739] God [2316] hath before ordained [4282] that [2443] we should walk [4043] in [1722] them [846]. 49 2 11 Wherefore [1352] remember [3421], that [3754] ye [5210] being in time past [4218] Gentiles [1484] in [1722] the flesh [4561], who [3588] are called [3004] Uncircumcision [203] by [5259] that which [3588] is called [3004] the Circumcision [4061] in [1722] the flesh [4561] made by hands [5499]; 49 2 12 That [3754] at [1722] that [1565] time [2540] ye were [2258] without [5565] Christ [5547], being aliens [526] from the commonwealth [4174] of Israel [2474], and [2532] strangers [3581] from the covenants [1242] of promise [1860], having [2192] no [3361] hope [1680], and [2532] without God [112] in [1722] the world [2889]: 49 2 13 But [1161] now [3570] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] ye [5210] who [3588] sometimes [4218] were [5607] far off [3112] are made [1096] nigh [1451] by [1722] the blood [129] of Christ [5547]. 49 2 14 For [1063] he [846] is [2076] our [2257] peace [1515], who [3588] hath made [4160] both [297] one [1520], and [2532] hath broken down [3089] the middle wall [3320] of partition [5418] between us; 49 2 15 Having abolished [2673] in [1722] his [846] flesh [4561] the enmity [2189], even the law [3551] of commandments [1785] contained in [1722] ordinances [1378]; for to [2443] make [2936] in [1722] himself [1438] of twain [1417] one [1519] [1520] new [2537] man [444], so making [4160] peace [1515]; 49 2 16 And [2532] that he might reconcile [604] both [297] unto God [2316] in [1722] one [1520] body [4983] by [1223] the cross [4716], having slain [615] the enmity [2189] thereby [1722] [846]: 49 2 17 And [2532] came [2064] and preached [2097] peace [1515] to you [5213] which [3588] were afar off [3112], and [2532] to them that were nigh [1451]. 49 2 18 For [3754] through [1223] him [846] we [2192] both [297] have [2192] access [4318] by [1722] one [1520] Spirit [4151] unto [4314] the Father [3962]. 49 2 19 Now [3767] therefore [686] ye are [2075] no more [3765] strangers [3581] and [2532] foreigners [3941], but [235] fellowcitizens [4847] with the saints [40], and [2532] of the household [3609] of God [2316]; 49 2 20 And are built [2026] upon [1909] the foundation [2310] of the apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] himself [846] being [5607] the chief corner [204] stone; 49 2 21 In [1722] whom [3739] all [3956] the building [3619] fitly framed together [4883] groweth [837] unto [1519] an holy [40] temple [3485] in [1722] the Lord [2962]: 49 2 22 In [1722] whom [3739] ye [5210] also [2532] are builded together [4925] for [1519] an habitation [2732] of God [2316] through [1722] the Spirit [4151]. 49 3 1 For this [5127] cause [5484] I [1473] Paul [3972], the prisoner [1198] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [5228] you [5216] Gentiles [1484], 49 3 2 If [1489] ye have heard [191] of the dispensation [3622] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] me [3427] to [1519] you-ward [5209]: 49 3 3 How that [3754] by [2596] revelation [602] he made known [1107] unto me [3427] the mystery [3466]; (as [2531] I wrote afore [4270] in [1722] few words [3641], 49 3 4 Whereby [4314] [3739], when ye read [314], ye may [1410] understand [3539] my [3450] knowledge [4907] in [1722] the mystery [3466] of Christ [5547]) 49 3 5 Which [3739] in [1722] other [2087] ages [1074] was [1107] not [3756] made known [1107] unto the sons [5207] of men [444], as [5613] it is [601] now [3568] revealed [601] unto his [846] holy [40] apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396] by [1722] the Spirit [4151]; 49 3 6 That the Gentiles [1484] should be [1511] fellowheirs [4789], and [2532] of the same body [4954], and [2532] partakers [4830] of his [846] promise [1860] in [1722] Christ [5547] by [1223] the gospel [2098]: 49 3 7 Whereof [3739] I was made [1096] a minister [1249], according [2596] to the gift [1431] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] given [1325] unto me [3427] by [2596] the effectual working [1753] of his [846] power [1411]. 49 3 8 Unto me [1698], who am less than the least [1647] of all [3956] saints [40], is [1325] this [3778] grace [5485] given [1325], that I should preach [2097] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484] the unsearchable [421] riches [4149] of Christ [5547]; 49 3 9 And [2532] to make [5461] all [3956] men see [5461] what [5101] is the fellowship [2842] of the mystery [3466], which [3588] from [575] the beginning of the world [165] hath been hid [613] in [1722] God [2316], who [3588] created [2936] all things [3956] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 49 3 10 To the intent that [2443] now [3568] unto the principalities [746] and [2532] powers [1849] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places might be known [1107] by [1223] the church [1577] the manifold [4182] wisdom [4678] of God [2316], 49 3 11 According to [2596] the eternal [165] purpose [4286] which [3739] he purposed [4160] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962]: 49 3 12 In [1722] whom [3739] we have [2192] boldness [3954] and [2532] access [4318] with [1722] confidence [4006] by [1223] the faith [4102] of him [846]. 49 3 13 Wherefore [1352] I desire [154] that ye faint [1573] not [3361] at [1722] my [3450] tribulations [2347] for [5228] you [5216], which [3748] is [2076] your [5216] glory [1391]. 49 3 14 For this [5127] cause [5484] I bow [2578] my [3450] knees [1119] unto [4314] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], 49 3 15 Of [1537] whom [3739] the whole [3956] family [3965] in [1722] heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1909] [1093] is named [3687], 49 3 16 That [2443] he would grant [1325] you [5213], according to [2596] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391], to be strengthened [2901] with might [1411] by [1223] his [846] Spirit [4151] in [1519] the inner [2080] man [444]; 49 3 17 That Christ [5547] may dwell [2730] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588] by [1223] faith [4102]; that [2443] ye, being rooted [4492] and [2532] grounded [2311] in [1722] love [26], 49 3 18 May be able [1840] to comprehend [2638] with [4862] all [3956] saints [40] what [5101] is the breadth [4114], and [2532] length [3372], and [2532] depth [899], and [2532] height [5311]; 49 3 19 And [5037] to know [1097] the love [26] of Christ [5547], which passeth [5235] knowledge [1108], that [2443] ye might be filled [4137] with [1519] all [3956] the fulness [4138] of God [2316]. 49 3 20 Now [1161] unto him that is able [1410] to do [4160] exceeding [5228] abundantly [1537] [4053] above [5228] all [3956] that [3739] we ask [154] or [2228] think [3539], according to [2596] the power [1411] that worketh [1754] in [1722] us [2254], 49 3 21 Unto him [846] be glory [1391] in [1722] the church [1577] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] throughout [1519] all [3956] ages [1074], world [165] without end [165]. Amen [281]. 49 4 1 I [1473] therefore [3767], the prisoner [1198] of [1722] the Lord [2962], beseech [3870] you [5209] that ye walk [4043] worthy [516] of the vocation [2821] wherewith [3739] ye are called [2564], 49 4 2 With [3326] all [3956] lowliness [5012] and [2532] meekness [4236], with [3326] longsuffering [3115], forbearing [430] one another [240] in [1722] love [26]; 49 4 3 Endeavouring [4704] to keep [5083] the unity [1775] of the Spirit [4151] in [1722] the bond [4886] of peace [1515]. 49 4 4 There is one [1520] body [4983], and [2532] one [1520] Spirit [4151], even as [2531] [2532] ye are called [2564] in [1722] one [3391] hope [1680] of your [5216] calling [2821]; 49 4 5 One [1520] Lord [2962], one [1520] faith [4102], one [3391] baptism [908], 49 4 6 One [1520] God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of all [3956], who [3588] is above [1909] all [3956], and [2532] through [1223] all [3956], and [2532] in [1722] you [5213] all [3956]. 49 4 7 But [1161] unto every [1538] one [1520] of us [2257] is given [1325] grace [5485] according to [2596] the measure [3358] of the gift [1431] of Christ [5547]. 49 4 8 Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004], When he ascended [305] up [1519] on high [5311], he led captivity [162] captive [161], and [2532] gave [1325] gifts [1390] unto men [444]. 49 4 9 (Now [1161] that he ascended [305], what [5101] is it [2076] but [1508] that [3754] he [2597] also [2532] descended [2597] first [4412] into [1519] the lower [2737] parts [3313] of the earth [1093]? 49 4 10 He [846] that descended [2597] is [2076] the same also [2532] that ascended up [305] far above [5231] all [3956] heavens [3772], that [2443] he might fill [4137] all things [3956].) 49 4 11 And [2532] he [846] gave [1325] some [3303], apostles [652]; and [1161] some, prophets [4396]; and [1161] some, evangelists [2099]; and [1161] some, pastors [4166] and [2532] teachers [1320]; 49 4 12 For [4314] the perfecting [2677] of the saints [40], for [1519] the work [2041] of the ministry [1248], for [1519] the edifying [3619] of the body [4983] of Christ [5547]: 49 4 13 Till [3360] we all [3956] come [2658] in [1519] the unity [1775] of the faith [4102], and [2532] of the knowledge [1922] of the Son [5207] of God [2316], unto [1519] a perfect [5046] man [435], unto [1519] the measure [3358] of the stature [2244] of the fulness [4138] of Christ [5547]: 49 4 14 That [2443] we henceforth be [5600] no more [3371] children [3516], tossed to and fro [2831], and [2532] carried about with [4064] every [3956] wind [417] of doctrine [1319], by [1722] the sleight [2940] of men [444], and cunning craftiness [1722] [3834], whereby [4314] they lie in wait [3180] to deceive [4106]; 49 4 15 But [1161] speaking the truth [226] in [1722] love [26], may grow up [837] into [1519] him [846] in all things [3956], which [3739] is [2076] the head [2776], even Christ [5547]: 49 4 16 From [1537] whom [3739] the whole [3956] body [4983] fitly joined together [4883] and [2532] compacted [4822] by [1223] that which every [3956] joint [860] supplieth [2024], according [2596] to the effectual working [1753] in [1722] the measure [3358] of every [1538] part [1520] [3313], maketh [4160] increase [838] of the body [4983] unto [1519] the edifying [3619] of itself [1438] in [1722] love [26]. 49 4 17 This [5124] I say [3004] therefore [3767], and [2532] testify [3143] in [1722] the Lord [2962], that ye [5209] henceforth [3371] walk [4043] not [3371] as [2531] [2532] other [3062] Gentiles [1484] walk [4043], in [1722] the vanity [3153] of their [846] mind [3563], 49 4 18 Having the understanding [1271] darkened [4654], being [5607] alienated [526] from the life [2222] of God [2316] through [1223] the ignorance [52] that is [5607] in [1722] them [846], because [1223] of the blindness [4457] of their [846] heart [2588]: 49 4 19 Who [3748] being past feeling [524] have given [3860] themselves [1438] over [3860] unto lasciviousness [766], to [1519] work [2039] all [3956] uncleanness [167] with [1722] greediness [4124]. 49 4 20 But [1161] ye [5210] have [3129] not [3756] so [3779] learned [3129] Christ [5547]; 49 4 21 If so be that [1489] ye have heard [191] him [846], and [2532] have been taught [1321] by [1722] him [846], as [2531] the truth [225] is [2076] in [1722] Jesus [2424]: 49 4 22 That ye [5209] put off [659] concerning [2596] the former [4387] conversation [391] the old [3820] man [444], which [3588] is corrupt [5351] according [2596] to the deceitful [539] lusts [1939]; 49 4 23 And [1161] be renewed [365] in the spirit [4151] of your [5216] mind [3563]; 49 4 24 And [2532] that ye put on [1746] the new [2537] man [444], which [3588] after [2596] God [2316] is created [2936] in [1722] righteousness [1343] and [2532] true [225] holiness [3742]. 49 4 25 Wherefore [1352] putting away [659] lying [5579], speak [2980] every man [1538] truth [225] with [3326] his [846] neighbour [4139]: for [3754] we are [2070] members [3196] one of another [240]. 49 4 26 Be ye angry [3710], and [2532] sin [264] not [3361]: let [1931] not [3361] the sun [2246] go down [1931] upon [1909] your [5216] wrath [3950]: 49 4 27 Neither [3383] give [1325] place [5117] to the devil [1228]. 49 4 28 Let [2813] him that stole [2813] steal [2813] no more [3371]: but [1161] rather [3123] let him labour [2872], working [2038] with his hands [5495] the thing which is good [18], that [2443] he may have [2192] to give [3330] to him that needeth [5532] [2192]. 49 4 29 Let [4550] no [3361] [3956] corrupt [4550] communication [3056] proceed [1607] out of [1537] your [5216] mouth [4750], but [235] that which [1536] is good [18] to [4314] the use [5532] of edifying [3619], that [2443] it may minister [1325] grace [5485] unto the hearers [191]. 49 4 30 And [2532] grieve [3076] not [3361] the holy [40] Spirit [4151] of God [2316], whereby [1722] [3739] ye are sealed [4972] unto [1519] the day [2250] of redemption [629]. 49 4 31 Let [142] all [3956] bitterness [4088], and [2532] wrath [2372], and [2532] anger [3709], and [2532] clamour [2906], and [2532] evil speaking [988], be put away [142] from [575] you [5216], with [4862] all [3956] malice [2549]: 49 4 32 And [1161] be [1096] ye kind [5543] one to another [1519] [240], tenderhearted [2155], forgiving [5483] one another [1438], even as [2531] [2532] God [2316] for [1722] Christ's [5547] sake [1722] hath forgiven [5483] you [5213]. 49 5 1 Be [1096] ye [3402] therefore [3767] followers [3402] of God [2316], as [5613] dear [27] children [5043]; 49 5 2 And [2532] walk [4043] in [1722] love [26], as [2531] Christ [5547] also [2532] hath loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] hath given [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] us [2257] an offering [4376] and [2532] a sacrifice [2378] to God [2316] for [1519] a sweetsmelling [2175] savour [3744]. 49 5 3 But [2532] fornication [4202], and [1161] all [3956] uncleanness [167], or [2228] covetousness [4124], let it [3687] not be once [3366] named [3687] among [1722] you [5213], as [2531] becometh [4241] saints [40]; 49 5 4 Neither [2532] filthiness [151], nor [2532] foolish talking [3473], nor [2228] jesting [2160], which [3588] are [433] not [3756] convenient [433]: but [235] rather [3123] giving of thanks [2169]. 49 5 5 For [1063] this [5124] ye know [2075] [1097], that [3754] no [3756] [3956] whoremonger [4205], nor [2228] unclean person [169], nor [2228] covetous man [4123], who [3739] is [2076] an idolater [1496], hath [2192] any inheritance [2817] in [1722] the kingdom [932] of Christ [5547] and [2532] of God [2316]. 49 5 6 Let [538] no man [3367] deceive [538] you [5209] with vain [2756] words [3056]: for [1063] because [1223] of these things [5023] cometh [2064] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] upon [1909] the children [5207] of disobedience [543]. 49 5 7 Be [1096] not [3361] ye [1096] therefore [3767] partakers [4830] with them [846]. 49 5 8 For [1063] ye were [2258] sometimes [4218] darkness [4655], but [1161] now [3568] are ye light [5457] in [1722] the Lord [2962]: walk [4043] as [5613] children [5043] of light [5457]: 49 5 9 (For [1063] the fruit [2590] of the Spirit [4151] is in [1722] all [3956] goodness [19] and [2532] righteousness [1343] and [2532] truth [225];) 49 5 10 Proving [1381] what [5101] is [2076] acceptable [2101] unto the Lord [2962]. 49 5 11 And [2532] have [4790] no [3361] fellowship [4790] with the unfruitful [175] works [2041] of darkness [4655], but [1161] rather [3123] [2532] reprove [1651] them. 49 5 12 For [1063] it is [2076] a shame [149] even [2532] to speak [3004] of those things [2931] which are done [1096] of [5259] them [846] in secret [2931]. 49 5 13 But [1161] all things [3956] that are reproved [1651] are made manifest [5319] by [5259] the light [5457]: for [1063] whatsoever [3956] doth make manifest [5319] is [2076] light [5457]. 49 5 14 Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004], Awake thou [1453] that sleepest [2518], and [2532] arise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] Christ [5547] shall give [2017] thee [4671] light [2017]. 49 5 15 See [991] then [3767] that [4459] ye walk [4043] circumspectly [199], not [3361] as [5613] fools [781], but [235] as [5613] wise [4680], 49 5 16 Redeeming [1805] the time [2540], because [3754] the days [2250] are [1526] evil [4190]. 49 5 17 Wherefore [1223] [5124] be ye [1096] not [3361] unwise [878], but [235] understanding [4920] what [5101] the will [2307] of the Lord [2962] is. 49 5 18 And [2532] be [3182] not [3361] drunk [3182] with wine [3631], wherein [1722] [3739] is [2076] excess [810]; but [235] be filled [4137] with [1722] the Spirit [4151]; 49 5 19 Speaking [2980] to yourselves [1438] in psalms [5568] and [2532] hymns [5215] and [2532] spiritual [4152] songs [5603], singing [103] and [2532] making melody [5567] in [1722] your [5216] heart [2588] to the Lord [2962]; 49 5 20 Giving thanks [2168] always [3842] for [5228] all things [3956] unto God [2316] and [2532] the Father [3962] in [1722] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; 49 5 21 Submitting yourselves [5293] one to another [240] in [1722] the fear [5401] of God [2316]. 49 5 22 Wives [1135], submit yourselves [5293] unto your own [2398] husbands [435], as [5613] unto the Lord [2962]. 49 5 23 For [3754] the husband [435] is [2076] the head [2776] of the wife [1135], even [2532] as [5613] Christ [5547] is the head [2776] of the church [1577]: and [2532] he [846] is [2076] the saviour [4990] of the body [4983]. 49 5 24 Therefore [235] as [5618] the church [1577] is subject [5293] unto Christ [5547], so [3779] [2532] let the wives [1135] be to their own [2398] husbands [435] in [1722] every thing [3956]. 49 5 25 Husbands [435], love [25] your [1438] wives [1135], even as [2531] Christ [5547] also [2532] loved [25] the church [1577], and [2532] gave [3860] himself [1438] for [5228] it [846]; 49 5 26 That [2443] he [846] might sanctify [37] and cleanse it [2511] with the washing [3067] of water [5204] by [1722] the word [4487], 49 5 27 That [2443] he might present [3936] it [846] to himself [1438] a glorious [1741] church [1577], not [3361] having [2192] spot [4696], or [2228] wrinkle [4512], or [2228] any [5100] such thing [5108]; but [235] that [2443] it should be [5600] holy [40] and [2532] without blemish [299]. 49 5 28 So [3779] ought [3784] men [435] to love [25] their [1438] wives [1135] as [5613] their own [1438] bodies [4983]. He that loveth [25] his [1438] wife [1135] loveth [25] himself [1438]. 49 5 29 For [1063] no man [3762] ever yet [4218] hated [3404] his own [1438] flesh [4561]; but [235] nourisheth [1625] and [2532] cherisheth [2282] it [846], even as [2531] [2532] the Lord [2962] the church [1577]: 49 5 30 For [3754] we are [2070] members [3196] of his [846] body [4983], of [1537] his [846] flesh [4561], and [2532] of [1537] his [846] bones [3747]. 49 5 31 For [473] this cause [5127] shall [2641] a man [444] leave [2641] his [846] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] shall be joined [4347] unto [4314] his [846] wife [1135], and [2532] they two [1417] shall be [2071] one [1519] [3391] flesh [4561]. 49 5 32 This [5124] is [2076] a great [3173] mystery [3466]: but [1161] I [1473] speak [3004] concerning [1519] Christ [5547] and [1519] [2532] the church [1577]. 49 5 33 Nevertheless [4133] [2532] let [25] every one [1520] [1538] of you [5210] in particular [2596] so [3779] love [25] his [1438] wife [1135] even as [5613] himself [1438]; and [1161] the wife [1135] see that [2443] she reverence [5399] her husband [435]. 49 6 1 Children [5043], obey [5219] your [5216] parents [1118] in [1722] the Lord [2962]: for [1063] this [5124] is [2076] right [1342]. 49 6 2 Honour [5091] thy [4675] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384]; (which [3748] is [2076] the first [4413] commandment [1785] with [1722] promise [1860];) 49 6 3 That [2443] it may be [1096] well [2095] with thee [4671], and [2532] thou mayest [2071] live long [3118] on [1909] the earth [1093]. 49 6 4 And [2532], ye fathers [3962], provoke [3949] not [3361] your [5216] children [5043] to wrath [3949]: but [235] bring [1625] them [846] up [1625] in [1722] the nurture [3809] and [2532] admonition [3559] of the Lord [2962]. 49 6 5 Servants [1401], be obedient [5219] to them that are your masters [2962] according to [2596] the flesh [4561], with [3326] fear [5401] and [2532] trembling [5156], in [1722] singleness [572] of your [5216] heart [2588], as [5613] unto Christ [5547]; 49 6 6 Not [3361] with [2596] eyeservice [3787], as [5613] menpleasers [441]; but [235] as [5613] the servants [1401] of Christ [5547], doing [4160] the will [2307] of God [2316] from [1537] the heart [5590]; 49 6 7 With [3326] good will [2133] doing service [1398], as to the Lord [2962], and [2532] not [3756] to men [444]: 49 6 8 Knowing [1492] that [3754] whatsoever [3739] [1437] [5100] good thing [18] any man [1538] doeth [4160], the same [5124] shall he receive [2865] of [3844] the Lord [2962], whether [1535] he be bond [1401] or [1535] free [1658]. 49 6 9 And [2532], ye masters [2962], do [4160] the same things [846] unto [4314] them [846], forbearing [447] threatening [547]: knowing [1492] that [3754] your [5216] [846] Master [2962] also [2532] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772]; neither [2532] [3756] is there [2076] respect of persons [4382] with [3844] him [846]. 49 6 10 Finally [3063], my [3450] brethren [80], be strong [1743] in [1722] the Lord [2962], and [2532] in [1722] the power [2904] of his [846] might [2479]. 49 6 11 Put on [1746] the whole armour [3833] of God [2316], that [4314] ye [5209] may be able [1410] to stand [2476] against [4314] the wiles [3180] of the devil [1228]. 49 6 12 For [3754] we [2254] wrestle [3823] not [3756] against [2076] [4314] flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129], but [235] against [4314] principalities [746], against [4314] powers [1849], against [4314] the rulers [2888] of the darkness [4655] of this [5127] world [165], against [4314] spiritual [4152] wickedness [4189] in [1722] high [2032] places. 49 6 13 Wherefore [1223] [5124] take unto you [353] the whole armour [3833] of God [2316], that [2443] ye may be able [1410] to withstand [436] in [1722] the evil [4190] day [2250], and [2532] having done [2716] all [537], to stand [2476]. 49 6 14 Stand [2476] therefore [3767], having [4024] your [5216] loins [3751] girt about [4024] with [1722] truth [225], and [2532] having on [1746] the breastplate [2382] of righteousness [1343]; 49 6 15 And [2532] your feet [4228] shod [5265] with [1722] the preparation [2091] of the gospel [2098] of peace [1515]; 49 6 16 Above [1909] all [3956], taking [353] the shield [2375] of faith [4102], wherewith [1722] [3739] ye shall be able [1410] to quench [4570] all [3956] the fiery [4448] darts [956] of the wicked [4190]. 49 6 17 And [2532] take [1209] the helmet [4030] of salvation [4992], and [2532] the sword [3162] of the Spirit [4151], which is [3603] the word [4487] of God [2316]: 49 6 18 Praying [4336] always [1722] [2540] [3956] with [1223] all [3956] prayer [4335] and [2532] supplication [1162] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], and [2532] watching [69] thereunto [1519] [5124] [846] with [1722] all [3956] perseverance [4343] and [2532] supplication [1162] for [4012] all [3956] saints [40]; 49 6 19 And [2532] for [5228] me [1700], that [2443] utterance [3056] may be given [1325] unto me [3427], that I may open [1722] [457] my [3450] mouth [4750] boldly [1722] [3954], to make known [1107] the mystery [3466] of the gospel [2098], 49 6 20 For [5228] which [3739] I am an ambassador [4243] in [1722] bonds [254]: that [2443] therein [1722] [846] I may speak boldly [3955], as [5613] I [3165] ought [1163] to speak [2980]. 49 6 21 But [1161] that [2443] ye [5210] also [2532] may know [1492] my [1691] affairs [2596], and how [5101] I do [4238], Tychicus [5190], a beloved [27] brother [80] and [2532] faithful [4103] minister [1249] in [1722] the Lord [2962], shall make known [1107] to you [5213] all things [3956]: 49 6 22 Whom [3739] I have sent [3992] unto [4314] you [5209] for [1519] the same [846] purpose [5124], that [2443] ye might know [1097] our [2257] affairs [4012], and [2532] that he might comfort [3870] your [5216] hearts [2588]. 49 6 23 Peace [1515] be to the brethren [80], and [2532] love [26] with [3326] faith [4102], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 49 6 24 Grace [5485] be with [3326] all [3956] them that love [25] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] in [1722] sincerity [861]. Amen [281]. 50 1 1 Paul [3972] and [2532] Timotheus [5095], the servants [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to all [3956] the saints [40] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] which are [5607] at [1722] Philippi [5375], with [4862] the bishops [1985] and [2532] deacons [1249]: 50 1 2 Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] from the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 50 1 3 I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316] upon [1909] every [3956] remembrance [3417] of you [5216], 50 1 4 Always [3842] in [1722] every [3956] prayer [1162] of mine [3450] for [5228] you [5216] all [3956] making [4160] request [1162] with [3326] joy [5479], 50 1 5 For [1909] your [5216] fellowship [2842] in [1519] the gospel [2098] from [575] the first [4413] day [2250] until [891] now [3568]; 50 1 6 Being confident [3982] of this [5124] very thing [846], that [3754] he which hath begun [1728] a good [18] work [2041] in [1722] you [5213] will perform [2005] it until [891] the day [2250] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 50 1 7 Even as [2531] it is [2076] meet [1342] for me [1698] to think [5426] this [5124] of [5228] you [5216] all [3956], because [1223] I have [2192] you [5209] in [1722] my [3165] heart [2588]; inasmuch as both [5037] in [1722] my [3450] bonds [1199], and [2532] in the defence [627] and [2532] confirmation [951] of the gospel [2098], ye [5209] all [3956] are [5607] partakers [4791] of my [3450] grace [5485]. 50 1 8 For [1063] God [2316] is [2076] my [3450] record [3144], how [5613] greatly I long after [1971] you [5209] all [3956] in [1722] the bowels [4698] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 50 1 9 And [2532] this [5124] I pray [4336], that [2443] your [5216] love [26] may abound [4052] yet [2089] more [3123] and [2532] more [3123] in [1722] knowledge [1922] and [2532] in all [3956] judgment [144]; 50 1 10 That [1519] ye [5209] may approve [1381] things that are excellent [1308]; that [2443] ye may be [5600] sincere [1506] and [2532] without offence [677] till [1519] the day [2250] of Christ [5547]; 50 1 11 Being filled [4137] with the fruits [2590] of righteousness [1343], which [3588] are by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], unto [1519] the glory [1391] and [2532] praise [1868] of God [2316]. 50 1 12 But [1161] I would [1014] ye [5209] should understand [1097], brethren [80], that [3754] the things which happened unto [2596] me [1691] have fallen out [2064] rather [3123] unto [1519] the furtherance [4297] of the gospel [2098]; 50 1 13 So that [5620] my [3450] bonds [1199] in [1722] Christ [5547] are [1096] manifest [5318] in [1722] all [3650] the palace [4232], and [2532] in all [3956] other [3062] places; 50 1 14 And [2532] many [4119] of the brethren [80] in [1722] the Lord [2962], waxing confident [3982] by my [3450] bonds [1199], are much more [4056] bold [5111] to speak [2980] the word [3056] without fear [870]. 50 1 15 Some [5100] indeed [3303] preach [2784] Christ [5547] even [2532] of [1223] envy [5355] and [2532] strife [2054]; and [1161] some [5100] also [2532] of [1223] good will [2107]: 50 1 16 The one [3303] preach [2605] Christ [5547] of [1537] contention [2052], not [3756] sincerely [55], supposing [3633] to add [2018] affliction [2347] to my [3450] bonds [1199]: 50 1 17 But [1161] the other of [1537] love [26], knowing [1492] that [3754] I am set [2749] for [1519] the defence [627] of the gospel [2098]. 50 1 18 What [5101] then [1063]? notwithstanding [4133], every [3956] way [5158], whether [1535] in pretence [4392], or [1535] in truth [225], Christ [5547] is preached [2605]; and [2532] I [5463] therein [1722] [5129] do rejoice [5463], yea [235], and [2532] will rejoice [5463]. 50 1 19 For [1063] I know [1492] that [3754] this [5124] shall turn [576] to [1519] my [3427] salvation [4991] through [1223] your [5216] prayer [1162], and [2532] the supply [2024] of the Spirit [4151] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], 50 1 20 According [2596] to my [3450] earnest expectation [603] and [2532] my hope [1680], that [3754] in [1722] nothing [3762] I shall be ashamed [153], but [235] that with [1722] all [3956] boldness [3954], as [5613] always [3842], so now [3568] also [2532] Christ [5547] shall be magnified [3170] in [1722] my [3450] body [4983], whether [1535] it be by [1223] life [2222], or [1535] by [1223] death [2288]. 50 1 21 For [1063] to me [1698] to live [2198] is Christ [5547], and [2532] to die [599] is gain [2771]. 50 1 22 But [1161] if [1487] I live [2198] in [1722] the flesh [4561], this [5124] is the fruit [2590] of my labour [2041] [3427]: yet [2532] what [5101] I shall choose [138] I wot [1107] not [3756]. 50 1 23 For [1063] I am in a strait [4912] betwixt [1537] two [1417], having [2192] a desire [1939] to [1519] depart [360], and [2532] to be [1511] with [4862] Christ [5547]; which is far [4183] [3123] better [2908]: 50 1 24 Nevertheless [1161] to abide [1961] in [1722] the flesh [4561] is more needful [316] for [1223] you [5209]. 50 1 25 And [2532] having this [5124] confidence [3982], I know [1492] that [3754] I shall abide [3306] and [2532] continue [4839] with you [5213] all [3956] for [1519] your [5216] furtherance [4297] and [2532] joy [5479] of faith [4102]; 50 1 26 That [2443] your [5216] rejoicing [2745] may be more abundant [4052] in [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [1722] me [1698] by [1223] my [1699] coming [3952] to [4314] you [5209] again [3825]. 50 1 27 Only [3440] let your conversation be [4176] as it becometh [516] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547]: that [2443] whether [1535] I come [2064] and [2532] see [1492] you [5209], or [1535] else be absent [548], I may hear [191] of your [5216] affairs [4012], that [3754] ye stand fast [4739] in [1722] one [1520] spirit [4151], with one [3391] mind [5590] striving together [4866] for the faith [4102] of the gospel [2098]; 50 1 28 And [2532] in [1722] nothing [3367] [3361] terrified [4426] by [5259] your adversaries [480]: which [3748] is [2076] to them [846] [3303] an evident token [1732] of perdition [684], but [1161] to you [5213] of salvation [4991], and [2532] that [5124] of [575] God [2316]. 50 1 29 For [3754] unto you [5213] it is given [5483] in the behalf [5228] of Christ [5547], not [3756] only [3440] to believe [4100] on [1519] him [846], but [235] also [2532] to suffer [3958] for [5228] his sake [846] [5228]; 50 1 30 Having [2192] the same [846] conflict [73] which [3634] ye saw [1492] [1492] in [1722] me [1698], and [2532] now [3568] hear [191] to be in [1722] me [1698]. 50 2 1 If there be therefore [3767] any [1536] consolation [3874] in [1722] Christ [5547], if any [1536] comfort [3890] of love [26], if any [1536] fellowship [2842] of the Spirit [4151], if any [1536] bowels [4698] and [2532] mercies [3628], 50 2 2 Fulfil ye [4137] my [3450] joy [5479], that [2443] ye be likeminded [846] [5426], having [2192] the same [846] love [26], being of one accord [4861], of one [1520] mind [5426]. 50 2 3 Let nothing [3367] be done through [2596] strife [2052] or [2228] vainglory [2754]; but [235] in lowliness of mind [5012] let [2233] each [240] esteem [2233] other [240] better than [5242] themselves [1438]. 50 2 4 Look [4648] not [3361] every man [1538] on his own things [1438], but [235] every man [1538] also [2532] on the things [3588] of others [2087]. 50 2 5 [1063] Let [5426] this [5124] mind be [5426] in [1722] you [5213], which [3739] was also [2532] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 50 2 6 Who [3739], being [5225] in [1722] the form [3444] of God [2316], thought it [2233] not [3756] robbery [725] to be [1511] equal [2470] with God [2316]: 50 2 7 But [235] made [2758] himself [1438] of no reputation [2758], and took upon him [2983] the form [3444] of a servant [1401], and was made [1096] in [1722] the likeness [3667] of men [444]: 50 2 8 And [2532] being found [2147] in fashion [4976] as [5613] a man [444], he humbled [5013] himself [1438], and became [1096] obedient [5255] unto [3360] death [2288], even [1161] the death [2288] of the cross [4716]. 50 2 9 Wherefore [1352] God [2316] also [2532] hath highly exalted [5251] him [846], and [2532] given [5483] him [846] a name [3686] which [3588] is above [5228] every [3956] name [3686]: 50 2 10 That [2443] at [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] every [3956] knee [1119] should bow [2578], of things in heaven [2032], and [2532] things in earth [1919], and [2532] things under the earth [2709]; 50 2 11 And [2532] that every [3956] tongue [1100] should confess [1843] that [3754] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is Lord [2962], to [1519] the glory [1391] of God [2316] the Father [3962]. 50 2 12 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] beloved [27], as [2531] ye have [5219] always [3842] obeyed [5219], not [3361] as [5613] in [1722] my [3450] presence [3952] only [3440], but [235] now [3568] much [4183] more [3123] in [1722] my [3450] absence [666], work out [2716] your own [1438] salvation [4991] with [3326] fear [5401] and [2532] trembling [5156]. 50 2 13 For [1063] it is [2076] God [2316] which [3588] worketh [1754] in [1722] you [5213] both [2532] to will [2309] and [2532] to do [1754] of [5228] his good pleasure [2107]. 50 2 14 Do [4160] all things [3956] without [5565] murmurings [1112] and [2532] disputings [1261]: 50 2 15 That [2443] ye may be [1096] blameless [273] and [2532] harmless [185], the sons [5043] of God [2316], without rebuke [298], in [1722] the midst [3319] of a crooked [4646] and [2532] perverse [1294] nation [1074], among [1722] whom [3739] ye shine [5316] as [5613] lights [5458] in [1722] the world [2889]; 50 2 16 Holding forth [1907] the word [3056] of life [2222]; that [1519] I [1698] may rejoice [2745] in [1519] the day [2250] of Christ [5547], that [3754] I have [5143] not [3756] run [5143] in [1519] vain [2756], neither [3761] laboured [2872] in [1519] vain [2756]. 50 2 17 Yea [235], and if [1499] I be offered [4689] upon [1909] the sacrifice [2378] and [2532] service [3009] of your [5216] faith [4102], I joy [5463], and [2532] rejoice with [4796] you [5213] all [3956]. 50 2 18 For [1161] the same cause [846] also [2532] do [5463] ye [5210] joy [5463], and [2532] rejoice with [4796] me [3427]. 50 2 19 But [1161] I trust [1679] in [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] to send [3992] Timotheus [5095] shortly [5030] unto you [5213], that [2443] I also [2504] may be of good comfort [2174], when I know [1097] your [5216] state [4012]. 50 2 20 For [1063] I have [2192] no man [3762] likeminded [2473], who [3748] will naturally [1104] care [3309] for your [5216] state [4012]. 50 2 21 For [1063] all [3956] seek [2212] their own [1438], not [3756] the things which are [3588] Jesus [2424] Christ's [5547]. 50 2 22 But [1161] ye know [1097] the proof [1382] of him [846], that [3754], as [5613] a son [5043] with the father [3962], he hath served [1398] with [4862] me [1698] in [1519] the gospel [2098]. 50 2 23 Him [3303] [5126] therefore [3767] I hope [1679] to send [3992] presently [1824], so soon as [5613] I [302] shall see [542] how [4012] it will go with me [1691]. 50 2 24 But [1161] I trust [3982] in [1722] the Lord [2962] that [3754] I [2064] also [2532] myself [846] shall come [2064] shortly [5030]. 50 2 25 Yet [1161] I supposed [2233] it necessary [316] to send [3992] to [4314] you [5209] Epaphroditus [1891], my [3450] brother [80], and [2532] companion in labour [4904], and [2532] fellowsoldier [4961], but [1161] your [5216] messenger [652], and [2532] he that ministered [3011] to my [3450] wants [5532]. 50 2 26 For [1894] he [2258] longed after [1971] you [5209] all [3956], and [2532] was full of heaviness [85], because [1360] that ye had heard [191] that [3754] he had been sick [770]. 50 2 27 For [1063] indeed [2532] he was sick [770] nigh [3897] unto death [2288]: but [235] God [2316] had mercy [1653] on him [846]; and [1161] not [3756] on him [846] only [3440], but [235] on me [1691] also [2532], lest [3363] I should have [2192] sorrow [3077] upon [1909] sorrow [3077]. 50 2 28 I sent [3992] him [846] therefore [3767] the more carefully [4708], that [2443], when ye see [1492] him [846] again [3825], ye may rejoice [5463], and that I [2504] may be [5600] the less sorrowful [253]. 50 2 29 Receive [4327] him [846] therefore [3767] in [1722] the Lord [2962] with [3326] all [3956] gladness [5479]; and [2532] hold [2192] such [5108] in reputation [1784]: 50 2 30 Because [3754] for [1223] the work [2041] of Christ [5547] he was nigh [1448] unto [3360] death [2288], not regarding [3851] his life [5590], to [2443] supply [378] your [5216] lack [5303] of service [3009] toward [4314] me [3165]. 50 3 1 Finally [3063], my [3450] brethren [80], rejoice [5463] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. To write [1125] the same things [846] to you [5213], to me [1698] indeed [3303] is not [3756] grievous [3636], but [1161] for you [5213] it is safe [804]. 50 3 2 Beware [991] of dogs [2965], beware [991] of evil [2556] workers [2040], beware [991] of the concision [2699]. 50 3 3 For [1063] we [2249] are [2070] the circumcision [4061], which [3588] worship [3000] God [2316] in the spirit [4151], and [2532] rejoice [2744] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], and [2532] have [3982] no [3756] confidence [3982] in [1722] the flesh [4561]. 50 3 4 Though [2539] I [1473] might [2192] also [2532] have [2192] confidence [4006] in [1722] the flesh [4561]. If any [1536] other man [243] thinketh [1380] that he hath whereof he might trust [3982] in [1722] the flesh [4561], I [1473] more [3123]: 50 3 5 Circumcised [4061] the eighth [3637] day, of [1537] the stock [1085] of Israel [2474], of the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958], an Hebrew [1445] of [1537] the Hebrews [1445]; as touching [2596] the law [3551], a Pharisee [5330]; 50 3 6 Concerning [2596] zeal [2205], persecuting [1377] the church [1577]; touching [2596] the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is in [1722] the law [3551], [1096] blameless [273]. 50 3 7 But [235] what things [3748] were [2258] gain [2771] to me [3427], those [5023] I counted [2233] loss [2209] for [1223] Christ [5547]. 50 3 8 Yea [235] doubtless [3304], and [2532] I count [2233] all things [3956] but loss [2209] for [1511] [1223] the excellency [5242] of the knowledge [1108] of Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] my [3450] Lord [2962]: for [1223] whom [3739] I have suffered the loss [2210] of all things [3956], and [2532] do count [2233] them [1511] but dung [4657], that [2443] I may win [2770] Christ [5547], 50 3 9 And [2532] be found [2147] in [1722] him [846], not [3361] having [2192] mine own [1699] righteousness [1343], which [3588] is of [1537] the law [3551], but [235] that which [3588] is through [1223] the faith [4102] of Christ [5547], the righteousness [1343] which [3588] is of [1537] God [2316] by [1909] faith [4102]: 50 3 10 That I may know [1097] him [846], and [2532] the power [1411] of his [846] resurrection [386], and [2532] the fellowship [2842] of his [846] sufferings [3804], being made conformable [4833] unto his [846] death [2288]; 50 3 11 If by any means [1513] I might attain [2658] unto [1519] the resurrection [1815] of the dead [3498]. 50 3 12 Not [3756] as though [3754] I had already [2235] attained [2983], either [2228] were already [2235] perfect [5048]: but [1161] I follow after [1377], if [1499] that I may apprehend [2638] that for [1909] which [3739] also [2532] I am apprehended [2638] of [5259] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 50 3 13 Brethren [80], I [1473] count [3049] not [3756] myself [1683] to have apprehended [2638]: but [1161] this one thing [1520] I do, forgetting [1950] those things [3303] which are behind [3694], and [1161] reaching forth unto [1901] those things which are before [1715], 50 3 14 I press [1377] toward [2596] the mark [4649] for [1909] the prize [1017] of the high [507] calling [2821] of God [2316] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 50 3 15 Let [5426] us therefore [3767], as many as [3745] be perfect [5046], be [5426] thus [5124] minded [5426]: and [2532] if in any thing [1536] ye be [5426] otherwise [2088] minded [5426], God [2316] shall reveal [601] even [2532] this [5124] unto you [5213]. 50 3 16 Nevertheless [4133], whereto [1519] [3739] we have already attained [5348], let us walk [4748] by the same [846] rule [2583], let us mind [5426] the same thing [846]. 50 3 17 Brethren [80], be [1096] followers together [4831] of me [3450], and [2532] mark [4648] them which walk [4043] so [3779] as [2531] ye have [2192] us [2248] for an ensample [5179]. 50 3 18 (For [1063] many [4183] walk [4043], of whom [3739] I have told [3004] you [5213] often [4178], and [1161] now [3568] tell [3004] you even [2532] weeping [2799], that they are the enemies [2190] of the cross [4716] of Christ [5547]: 50 3 19 Whose [3739] end [5056] is destruction [684], whose [3739] God [2316] is their belly [2836], and [2532] whose glory [1391] is in [1722] their [846] shame [152], who [3588] mind [5426] earthly things [1919].) 50 3 20 For [1063] our [2257] conversation [4175] is [5225] in [1722] heaven [3772]; from [1537] whence [3739] also [2532] we look for [553] the Saviour [4990], the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 50 3 21 Who [3739] shall change [3345] our [2257] vile [5014] body [4983], that [1519] it [846] may be [1096] fashioned like unto [4832] his [846] glorious [1391] body [4983], according to [2596] the working [1753] whereby he [846] is able [1410] even [2532] to subdue [5293] all things [3956] unto himself [1438]. 50 4 1 Therefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80] dearly beloved [27] and [2532] longed for [1973], my [3450] joy [5479] and [2532] crown [4735], so [3779] stand fast [4739] in [1722] the Lord [2962], my dearly beloved [27]. 50 4 2 I beseech [3870] Euodias [2136], and [2532] beseech [3870] Syntyche [4941], that they be of [5426] the same [846] mind [5426] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 50 4 3 And [2532] I intreat [2065] thee [4571] also [2532], true [1103] yokefellow [4805], help [4815] those women [846] which [3748] laboured [4866] with me [3427] in [1722] the gospel [2098], with [3326] Clement [2815] also [2532], and [2532] with other [3062] my [3450] fellowlabourers [4904], whose [3739] names [3686] are in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222]. 50 4 4 Rejoice [5463] in [1722] the Lord [2962] alway [3842]: and again [3825] I say [2046], Rejoice [5463]. 50 4 5 Let [1097] your [5216] moderation [1933] be known [1097] unto all [3956] men [444]. The Lord [2962] is at hand [1451]. 50 4 6 Be careful [3309] for nothing [3367]; but [235] in [1722] every thing [3956] by prayer [4335] and [2532] supplication [1162] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169] let [1107] your [5216] requests [155] be made known [1107] unto [4314] God [2316]. 50 4 7 And [2532] the peace [1515] of God [2316], which [3588] passeth [5242] all [3956] understanding [3563], shall keep [5432] your [5216] hearts [2588] and [2532] minds [5216] [3540] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 50 4 8 Finally [3063], brethren [80], whatsoever things [3745] are [2076] true [227], whatsoever things [3745] are honest [4586], whatsoever things [3745] are just [1342], whatsoever things [3745] are pure [53], whatsoever things [3745] are lovely [4375], whatsoever things [3745] are of good report [2163]; if there be any [1536] virtue [703], and [2532] if there be any [1536] praise [1868], think [3049] on these things [5023]. 50 4 9 Those things [5023], which [3739] ye have [3129] both [2532] learned [3129], and [2532] received [3880], and [2532] heard [191], and [2532] seen [1492] in [1722] me [1698], do [4238]: and [2532] the God [2316] of peace [1515] shall be [2071] with [3326] you [5216]. 50 4 10 But [1161] I rejoiced [5463] in [1722] the Lord [2962] greatly [3171], that [3754] now [2235] at the last [4218] your care [5426] [330] of [5228] me [1700] hath flourished again [330]; wherein [1909] [3739] ye were [5426] also [2532] careful [5426], but [1161] ye lacked opportunity [170]. 50 4 11 Not [3756] that I speak [3004] in respect [3754] [2596] of want [5304]: for [1063] I [1473] have learned [3129], in [1722] whatsoever state [3739] I am [1510], therewith to be [1511] content [842]. 50 4 12 [1161] I know [1492] both how to be abased [5013], and [2532] I know [1492] how to abound [4052]: every where [1722] [3956] and [2532] in [1722] all things [3956] I am instructed [3453] both [2532] to be full [5526] and [2532] to be hungry [3983], both [2532] to abound [4052] and [2532] to suffer need [5302]. 50 4 13 I can do [2480] all things [3956] through [1722] Christ [5547] which [3588] strengtheneth [1743] me [3165]. 50 4 14 Notwithstanding [4133] ye have well [2573] done [4160], that ye did communicate with [4790] my [3450] affliction [2347]. 50 4 15 Now [1161] ye [5210] Philippians [5374] know [1492] also [2532], that [3754] in [1722] the beginning [746] of the gospel [2098], when [3753] I departed [1831] from [575] Macedonia [3109], no [3762] church [1577] communicated with [2841] me [3427] as [1519] concerning [3056] giving [1394] and [2532] receiving [3028], but [1508] ye [5210] only [3441]. 50 4 16 For [3754] even [2532] in [1722] Thessalonica [2332] ye sent [3992] once [2532] [530] and [2532] again [1364] unto [1519] my [3427] necessity [5532]. 50 4 17 Not [3756] because [3754] I desire [1934] a gift [1390]: but [235] I desire [1934] fruit [2590] that may abound [4121] to [1519] your [5216] account [3056]. 50 4 18 But [1161] I have [568] all [3956], and [2532] abound [4052]: I am full [4137], having received [1209] of [3844] Epaphroditus [1891] the things which were sent from [3844] you [5216], an odour [3744] of a sweet smell [2175], a sacrifice [2378] acceptable [1184], wellpleasing [2101] to God [2316]. 50 4 19 But [1161] my [3450] God [2316] shall supply [4137] all [3956] your [5216] need [5532] according to [2596] his [846] riches [4149] in [1722] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 50 4 20 Now [1161] unto God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 50 4 21 Salute [782] every [3956] saint [40] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. The brethren [80] which are with [4862] me [1698] greet [782] you [5209]. 50 4 22 All [3956] the saints [40] salute [782] you [5209], [1161] chiefly [3122] they that are of [1537] Caesar's [2541] household [3614]. 50 4 23 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 51 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], and [2532] Timotheus [5095] our brother [80], 51 1 2 To the saints [40] and [2532] faithful [4103] brethren [80] in [1722] Christ [5547] which are at [1722] Colosse [2857]: Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 51 1 3 We give thanks [2168] to God [2316] and [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], praying [4336] always [3842] for [4012] you [5216], 51 1 4 Since we heard [191] of your [5216] faith [4102] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], and [2532] of the love [26] which [3588] ye have to [1519] all [3956] the saints [40], 51 1 5 For [1223] the hope [1680] which [3588] is laid up [606] for you [5213] in [1722] heaven [3772], whereof [3739] ye heard before [4257] in [1722] the word [3056] of the truth [225] of the gospel [2098]; 51 1 6 Which [3588] is come [3918] unto [1519] you [5209], as [2531] [2532] it is in [1722] all [3956] the world [2889]; and [2532] bringeth forth fruit [2076] [2592], as [2531] it doth also [2532] in [1722] you [5213], since [575] the [3739] day [2250] ye heard [191] of it, and [2532] knew [1921] the grace [5485] of God [2316] in [1722] truth [225]: 51 1 7 As [2531] ye [3129] also [2532] learned [3129] of [575] Epaphras [1889] our [2257] dear [27] fellowservant [4889], who [3739] is [2076] for [5228] you [5216] a faithful [4103] minister [1249] of Christ [5547]; 51 1 8 Who [3588] also [2532] declared [1213] unto us [2254] your [5216] love [26] in [1722] the Spirit [4151]. 51 1 9 For [1223] this cause [5124] we [2249] also [2532], since [575] the [3739] day [2250] we heard [191] it, do [3973] not [3756] cease [3973] to pray [4336] for [5228] you [5216], and [2532] to desire [154] that [2443] ye might be filled [4137] with the knowledge [1922] of his [846] will [2307] in [1722] all [3956] wisdom [4678] and [2532] spiritual [4152] understanding [4907]; 51 1 10 That ye [5209] might walk [4043] worthy [516] of the Lord [2962] unto [1519] all [3956] pleasing [699], being fruitful [2592] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] work [2041], and [2532] increasing [837] in [1519] the knowledge [1922] of God [2316]; 51 1 11 Strengthened [1412] with [1722] all [3956] might [1411], according to [2596] his [846] glorious [1391] power [2904], unto [1519] all [3956] patience [5281] and [2532] longsuffering [3115] with [3326] joyfulness [5479]; 51 1 12 Giving thanks [2168] unto the Father [3962], which [3588] hath made [2427] us [2248] meet [2427] to [1519] be partakers [3310] of the inheritance [2819] of the saints [40] in [1722] light [5457]: 51 1 13 Who [3739] hath delivered [4506] us [2248] from [1537] the power [1849] of darkness [4655], and [2532] hath translated [3179] us into [1519] the kingdom [932] of his [846] dear [26] Son [5207]: 51 1 14 In [1722] whom [3739] we have [2192] redemption [629] through [1223] his [846] blood [129], even the forgiveness [859] of sins [266]: 51 1 15 Who [3739] is [2076] the image [1504] of the invisible [517] God [2316], the firstborn [4416] of every [3956] creature [2937]: 51 1 16 For [3754] by [1722] him [846] were [2936] all things [3956] created [2936], that are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] that are in [1909] earth [1093], visible [3707] and [2532] invisible [517], whether [1535] they be thrones [2362], or [1535] dominions [2963], or [1535] principalities [746], or [1535] powers [1849]: all things [3956] were created [2936] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] for [1519] him [846]: 51 1 17 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] before [4253] all things [3956], and [2532] by [1722] him [846] all things [3956] consist [4921]. 51 1 18 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] the head [2776] of the body [4983], the church [1577]: who [3739] is [2076] the beginning [746], the firstborn [4416] from [1537] the dead [3498]; that [2443] in [1722] all [3956] things he [846] might have [1096] the preeminence [4409]. 51 1 19 For it pleased [2106] the Father that [3754] in [1722] him [846] should [2730] all [3956] fulness [4138] dwell [2730]; 51 1 20 And [2532], having made peace [1517] through [1223] the blood [129] of his [846] cross [4716], by [1223] him [846] to reconcile [604] all things [3956] unto [1519] himself [846]; by [1223] him [846], I say, whether [1535] they be things in [1909] earth [1093], or [1535] things in [1722] heaven [3772]. 51 1 21 And [2532] you [5209], that were [5607] sometime [4218] alienated [526] and [2532] enemies [2190] in your mind [1271] by [1722] wicked [4190] works [2041], yet [1161] now [3570] hath he reconciled [604] 51 1 22 In [1722] the body [4983] of his [846] flesh [4561] through [1223] death [2288], to present [3936] you [5209] holy [40] and [2532] unblameable [299] and [2532] unreproveable [410] in his [846] sight [2714]: 51 1 23 If [1489] ye continue [1961] in the faith [4102] grounded [2311] and [2532] settled [1476], and [2532] be not [3361] moved away [3334] from [575] the hope [1680] of the gospel [2098], which [3739] ye have heard [191], and which [3588] was preached [2784] to [1722] every [3956] creature [2937] which is under [5259] heaven [3772]; whereof [3739] I [1473] Paul [3972] am made [1096] a minister [1249]; 51 1 24 Who [3739] now [3568] rejoice [5463] in [1722] my [3450] sufferings [3804] for [5228] you [5216], and [2532] fill up [466] that which is behind [5303] of the afflictions [2347] of Christ [5547] in [1722] my [3450] flesh [4561] for [5228] his [846] body's [4983] sake [5228], which is [3603] the church [1577]: 51 1 25 Whereof [3739] I [1473] am made [1096] a minister [1249], according to [2596] the dispensation [3622] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] to me [3427] for [1519] you [5209], to fulfil [4137] the word [3056] of God [2316]; 51 1 26 Even the mystery [3466] which [3588] hath been hid [613] from [575] ages [165] and [2532] from [575] generations [1074], but [1161] now [3570] is made manifest [5319] to his [846] saints [40]: 51 1 27 To whom [3739] God [2316] would [2309] make known [1107] what [5101] is the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of this [5127] mystery [3466] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484]; which [3739] is [2076] Christ [5547] in [1722] you [5213], the hope [1680] of glory [1391]: 51 1 28 Whom [3739] we [2249] preach [2605], warning [3560] every [3956] man [444], and [2532] teaching [1321] every [3956] man [444] in [1722] all [3956] wisdom [4678]; that [2443] we may present [3936] every [3956] man [444] perfect [5046] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: 51 1 29 Whereunto [1519] [3739] I [2872] also [2532] labour [2872], striving [75] according to [2596] his [846] working [1753], which [3588] worketh [1754] in [1722] me [1698] mightily [1722] [1411]. 51 2 1 For [1063] I would [2309] that ye [5209] knew [1492] what great [2245] conflict [73] I have [2192] for [4012] you [5216], and [2532] for them at [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] for as many as [3745] have [3708] not [3756] seen [3708] my [3450] face [4383] in [1722] the flesh [4561]; 51 2 2 That [2443] their [846] hearts [2588] might be comforted [3870], being knit together [4822] in [1722] love [26], and [2532] unto [1519] all [3956] riches [4149] of the full assurance [4136] of understanding [4907], to [1519] the acknowledgement [1922] of the mystery [3466] of God [2316], and [2532] of the Father [3962], and [2532] of Christ [5547]; 51 2 3 In [1722] whom [3739] are [1526] hid [614] all [3956] the treasures [2344] of wisdom [4678] and [2532] knowledge [1108]. 51 2 4 And [1161] this [5124] I say [3004], lest [3363] any man [5100] should beguile [3884] you [5209] with [1722] enticing words [4086]. 51 2 5 For [1063] though [1499] I be absent [548] in the flesh [4561], yet [235] am I [1510] with [4862] you [5213] in the spirit [4151], joying [5463] and [2532] beholding [991] your [5216] order [5010], and [2532] the stedfastness [4733] of your [5216] faith [4102] in [1519] Christ [5547]. 51 2 6 As [5613] ye have [3880] therefore [3767] received [3880] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] the Lord [2962], so walk ye [4043] in [1722] him [846]: 51 2 7 Rooted [4492] and [2532] built up [2026] in [1722] him [846], and [2532] stablished [950] in [1722] the faith [4102], as [2531] ye have been taught [1321], abounding [4052] therein [1722] [846] with [1722] thanksgiving [2169]. 51 2 8 Beware [991] lest [3361] any man [5100] spoil [2071] [4812] you [5209] through [1223] philosophy [5385] and [2532] vain [2756] deceit [539], after [2596] the tradition [3862] of men [444], after [2596] the rudiments [4747] of the world [2889], and [2532] not [3756] after [2596] Christ [5547]. 51 2 9 For [3754] in [1722] him [846] dwelleth [2730] all [3956] the fulness [4138] of the Godhead [2320] bodily [4985]. 51 2 10 And [2532] ye are [2075] complete [4137] in [1722] him [846], which [3739] is [2076] the head [2776] of all [3956] principality [746] and [2532] power [1849]: 51 2 11 In [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] ye are circumcised [4059] with the circumcision [4061] made without hands [886], in [1722] putting off [555] the body [4983] of the sins [266] of the flesh [4561] by [1722] the circumcision [4061] of Christ [5547]: 51 2 12 Buried with [4916] him [846] in [1722] baptism [908], wherein [1722] [3739] also [2532] ye are risen with [4891] him through [1223] the faith [4102] of the operation [1753] of God [2316], who [3588] hath raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498]. 51 2 13 And [2532] you [5209], being [5607] dead [3498] in [1722] your sins [3900] and [2532] the uncircumcision [203] of your [5216] flesh [4561], hath he quickened together [4806] with [4862] him [846], having forgiven [5483] you [5213] all [3956] trespasses [3900]; 51 2 14 Blotting out [1813] the handwriting [5498] of ordinances [1378] that was against [2596] us [2257], which [3739] was [2258] contrary [5227] to us [2254], and [2532] took [142] it [846] out of [1537] the way [3319], nailing [4338] it [846] to his cross [4716]; 51 2 15 And having spoiled [554] principalities [746] and [2532] powers [1849], he made a shew of them [1165] openly [1722] [3954], triumphing over [2358] them [846] in [1722] it [846]. 51 2 16 Let [2919] no [3361] man [5100] therefore [3767] judge [2919] you [5209] in [1722] meat [1035], or [2228] in [1722] drink [4213], or [2228] in [1722] respect [3313] of an holyday [1859], or [2228] of the new moon [3561], or [2228] of the sabbath [4521] days: 51 2 17 Which [3739] are [2076] a shadow [4639] of things to come [3195]; but [1161] the body [4983] is of Christ [5547]. 51 2 18 Let [2603] no man [3367] beguile [2603] you [5209] of your reward [2603] in [1722] a voluntary [2309] humility [5012] and [2532] worshipping [2356] of angels [32], intruding into [1687] those things which [3739] he hath [3708] not [3361] seen [3708], vainly [1500] puffed up [5448] by [5259] his [846] fleshly [4561] mind [3563], 51 2 19 And [2532] not [3756] holding [2902] the Head [2776], from [1537] which [3739] all [3956] the body [4983] by [1223] joints [860] and [2532] bands [4886] having nourishment ministered [2023], and [2532] knit together [4822], increaseth [837] with the increase [838] of God [2316]. 51 2 20 Wherefore [3767] if [1487] ye be dead [599] with [4862] Christ [5547] from [575] the rudiments [4747] of the world [2889], why [5101], as though [5613] living [2198] in [1722] the world [2889], are ye subject to ordinances [1379], 51 2 21 (Touch [680] not [3361]; taste [1089] not [3366]; handle [2345] not [3366]; 51 2 22 Which [3739] all [3956] are [2076] to [1519] perish [5356] with the using [671];) after [2596] the commandments [1778] and [2532] doctrines [1319] of men [444]? 51 2 23 Which things [3748] have [2192] indeed [3303] a shew [2076] [3056] of wisdom [4678] in [1722] will worship [1479], and [2532] humility [5012], and [2532] neglecting [857] of the body [4983]; not [3756] in [1722] any [5100] honour [5092] to [4314] the satisfying [4140] of the flesh [4561]. 51 3 1 If [1487] ye [4891] then [3767] be risen [4891] with Christ [5547], seek [2212] those things which are above [507], where [3757] Christ [5547] sitteth [2076] [2521] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316]. 51 3 2 Set your affection [5426] on things above [507], not [3361] on things on [1909] the earth [1093]. 51 3 3 For [1063] ye are dead [599], and [2532] your [5216] life [2222] is hid [2928] with [4862] Christ [5547] in [1722] God [2316]. 51 3 4 When [3752] Christ [5547], who is our [2257] life [2222], shall appear [5319], then [5119] shall [5319] ye [5210] also [2532] appear [5319] with [4862] him [846] in [1722] glory [1391]. 51 3 5 Mortify [3499] therefore [3767] your [5216] members [3196] which [3588] are upon [1909] the earth [1093]; fornication [4202], uncleanness [167], inordinate affection [3806], evil [2556] concupiscence [1939], and [2532] covetousness [4124], which [3748] is [2076] idolatry [1495]: 51 3 6 For [1223] which things' sake [3739] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] cometh [2064] on [1909] the children [5207] of disobedience [543]: 51 3 7 In [1722] the which [3739] ye [5210] also [2532] walked [4043] some time [4218], when [3753] ye lived [2198] in [1722] them [846]. 51 3 8 But [1161] now [3570] ye [5210] also [2532] put off [659] all these [3956]; anger [3709], wrath [2372], malice [2549], blasphemy [988], filthy communication [148] out of [1537] your [5216] mouth [4750]. 51 3 9 Lie [5574] not [3361] one to another [1519] [240], seeing that ye have put off [554] the old [3820] man [444] with [4862] his [846] deeds [4234]; 51 3 10 And [2532] have put on [1746] the new [3501] man, which [3588] is renewed [341] in [1519] knowledge [1922] after [2596] the image of him [1504] that created [2936] him [846]: 51 3 11 Where [3699] there is [1762] neither [3756] Greek [1672] nor [2532] Jew [2453], circumcision [4061] nor [2532] uncircumcision [203], Barbarian [915], Scythian [4658], bond [1401] nor free [1658]: but [235] Christ [5547] is all [3956], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956]. 51 3 12 Put on [1746] therefore [3767], as [5613] the elect [1588] of God [2316], holy [40] and [2532] beloved [25], bowels [4698] of mercies [3628], kindness [5544], humbleness of mind [5012], meekness [4236], longsuffering [3115]; 51 3 13 Forbearing [430] one another [240], and [2532] forgiving [5483] one another [1438], if [1437] any man [5100] have [2192] a quarrel [3437] against [4314] any [5100]: even as [2531] [2532] Christ [5547] forgave [5483] you [5213], so [3779] also [2532] do ye [5210]. 51 3 14 And [1161] above [1909] all [3956] these things [5125] put on charity [26], which [3748] is [2076] the bond [4886] of perfectness [5047]. 51 3 15 And [2532] let [1018] the peace [1515] of God [2316] rule [1018] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588], to [1519] the which [3739] also [2532] ye are called [2564] in [1722] one [1520] body [4983]; and [2532] be ye [1096] thankful [2170]. 51 3 16 Let [1774] the word [3056] of Christ [5547] dwell [1774] in [1722] you [5213] richly [4146] in [1722] all [3956] wisdom [4678]; teaching [1321] and [2532] admonishing [3560] one another [1438] in psalms [5568] and [2532] hymns [5215] and [2532] spiritual [4152] songs [5603], singing [103] with [1722] grace [5485] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588] to the Lord [2962]. 51 3 17 And [2532] whatsoever [3748] [3956] ye do [302] [4160] in [1722] word [3056] or [2228] [1722] deed [2041], do all [3956] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], giving thanks [2168] to God [2316] and [2532] the Father [3962] by [1223] him [846]. 51 3 18 Wives [1135], submit yourselves [5293] unto your own [2398] husbands [435], as [5613] it is fit [433] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 51 3 19 Husbands [435], love [25] your wives [1135], and [2532] be [4087] not [3361] bitter [4087] against [4314] them [846]. 51 3 20 Children [5043], obey [5219] your parents [1118] in [2596] all things [3956]: for [1063] this [5124] is [2076] well pleasing [2101] unto the Lord [2962]. 51 3 21 Fathers [3962], provoke [2042] not [3361] your [5216] children [5043] to anger, lest [3363] they be discouraged [120]. 51 3 22 Servants [1401], obey [5219] in [2596] all things [3956] your masters [2962] according [2596] to the flesh [4561]; not [3361] with [1722] eyeservice [3787], as [5613] menpleasers [441]; but [235] in [1722] singleness [572] of heart [2588], fearing [5399] God [2316]: 51 3 23 And [2532] whatsoever [3956] [3748] [1437] ye do [4160], do [2038] it heartily [1537] [5590], as [5613] to the Lord [2962], and [2532] not [3756] unto men [444]; 51 3 24 Knowing [1492] that [3754] of [575] the Lord [2962] ye shall receive [618] the reward [469] of the inheritance [2817]: for [1063] ye serve [1398] the Lord [2962] Christ [5547]. 51 3 25 But [1161] he that doeth wrong [91] shall receive [2865] for the wrong [91] which [3739] he hath done [91]: and [2532] there is [2076] no [3756] respect of persons [4382]. 51 4 1 Masters [2962], give [3930] unto your servants [1401] that which is just [1342] and [2532] equal [2471]; knowing [1492] that [3754] ye [5210] also [2532] have [2192] a Master [2962] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 51 4 2 Continue [4342] in prayer [4335], and watch [1127] in [1722] the same [846] with [1722] thanksgiving [2169]; 51 4 3 Withal [260] praying [4336] also [2532] for [4012] us [2257], that [2443] God [2316] would open [455] unto us [2254] a door [2374] of utterance [3056], to speak [2980] the mystery [3466] of Christ [5547], for [1223] which [3739] I am [1210] also [2532] in bonds [1210]: 51 4 4 That [2443] I may make [5319] it [846] manifest [5319], as [5613] I [3165] ought [1163] to speak [2980]. 51 4 5 Walk [4043] in [1722] wisdom [4678] toward [4314] them that are without [1854], redeeming [1805] the time [2540]. 51 4 6 Let your [5216] speech [3056] be alway [3842] with [1722] grace [5485], seasoned [741] with salt [217], that ye may know [1492] how [4459] ye [5209] ought [1163] to answer [611] every [1538] man [1520]. 51 4 7 All [3956] my [1691] state [2596] shall [1107] Tychicus [5190] declare [1107] unto you [5213], who is a beloved [27] brother [80], and [2532] a faithful [4103] minister [1249] and [2532] fellowservant [4889] in [1722] the Lord [2962]: 51 4 8 Whom [3739] I have sent [3992] unto [4314] you [5209] for [1519] the same [846] purpose [5124], that [2443] he might know [1097] your [5216] estate [4012], and [2532] comfort [3870] your [5216] hearts [2588]; 51 4 9 With [4862] Onesimus [3682], a faithful [4103] and [2532] beloved [27] brother [80], who [3739] is [2076] one of [1537] you [5216]. They shall make known [1107] unto you [5213] all things [3956] which [3588] are done here [5602]. 51 4 10 Aristarchus [708] my [3450] fellowprisoner [4869] saluteth [782] you [5209], and [2532] Marcus [3138], sister's son [431] to Barnabas [921], (touching [4012] whom [3739] ye received [2983] commandments [1785]: if [1437] he come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], receive [1209] him [846];) 51 4 11 And [2532] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is called [3004] Justus [2459], who [3588] are [5607] of [1537] the circumcision [4061]. These [3778] only [3441] are my fellowworkers [4904] unto [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], which [3748] have been [1096] a comfort [3931] unto me [3427]. 51 4 12 Epaphras [1889], who is one of [1537] you [5216], a servant [1401] of Christ [5547], saluteth [782] you [5209], always [3842] labouring fervently [75] for [5228] you [5216] in [1722] prayers [4335], that [2443] ye may stand [2476] perfect [5046] and [2532] complete [4137] in [1722] all [3956] the will [2307] of God [2316]. 51 4 13 For [1063] I bear [3140] him [846] record [3140], that [3754] he hath [2192] a great [4183] zeal [2205] for [5228] you [5216], and [2532] them that are in [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] them in [1722] Hierapolis [2404]. 51 4 14 Luke [3065], the beloved [27] physician [2395], and [2532] Demas [1214], greet [782] you [5209]. 51 4 15 Salute [782] the brethren [80] which are in [1722] Laodicea [2993], and [2532] Nymphas [3564], and [2532] the church [1577] which is in [2596] his [846] house [3624]. 51 4 16 And [2532] when [3752] this epistle [1992] is read [314] among [3844] you [5213], cause [4160] that [2443] it be read [314] also [2532] in [1722] the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994]; and [2532] that [2443] ye [5210] [314] likewise [2532] read [314] the epistle from [1537] Laodicea [2993]. 51 4 17 And [2532] say [2036] to Archippus [751], Take heed [991] to the ministry [1248] which [3739] thou hast received [3880] in [1722] the Lord [2962], that [2443] thou fulfil [4137] it [846]. 51 4 18 The salutation [783] by the hand [5495] of me [1699] Paul [3972]. Remember [3421] my [3450] bonds [1199]. Grace [5485] be with [3326] you [5216]. Amen [281]. 52 1 1 Paul [3972], and [2532] Silvanus [4610], and [2532] Timotheus [5095], unto the church [1577] of the Thessalonians [2331] which is in [1722] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] in the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 52 1 2 We give thanks [2168] to God [2316] always [3842] for [4012] you [5216] all [3956], making [4160] mention [3417] of you [5216] in [1909] our [2257] prayers [4335]; 52 1 3 Remembering [3421] without ceasing [89] your [5216] work [2041] of faith [4102], and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], and [2532] patience [5281] of hope [1680] in our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], in the sight [1715] of God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962]; 52 1 4 Knowing [1492], brethren [80] beloved [25], your [5216] election [1589] of [5259] God [2316]. 52 1 5 For [3754] our [2257] gospel [2098] came [1096] not [3756] unto [1519] you [5209] in [1722] word [3056] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] power [1411], and [2532] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] in [1722] much [4183] assurance [4136]; as [2531] ye know [1492] what manner of men [3634] we were [1096] among [1722] you [5213] for [1223] your [5209] sake. 52 1 6 And [2532] ye [5210] became [1096] followers [3402] of us [2257], and [2532] of the Lord [2962], having received [1209] the word [3056] in [1722] much [4183] affliction [2347], with [3326] joy [5479] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: 52 1 7 So [5620] that ye [5209] were [1096] ensamples [5179] to all [3956] that believe [4100] in [1722] Macedonia [3109] and [2532] Achaia [882]. 52 1 8 For [1063] from [575] you [5216] sounded out [1837] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962] not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] Macedonia [3109] and [2532] Achaia [882], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] every [3956] place [5117] your [5216] faith [4102] to [4314] God-ward [2316] is spread abroad [1831]; so [5620] that we [2248] need [5532] not [3361] [2192] to speak [2980] any thing [5100]. 52 1 9 For [1063] they [518] themselves [846] shew [518] of [4012] us [2257] what manner [3697] of entering in [1529] we had [2192] [2192] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] how [4459] ye turned [1994] to [4314] God [2316] from [575] idols [1497] to serve [1398] the living [2198] and [2532] true [228] God [2316]; 52 1 10 And [2532] to wait for [362] his [846] Son [5207] from [1537] heaven [3772], whom [3739] he raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], even Jesus [2424], which [3588] delivered [4506] us [2248] from [575] the wrath [3709] to come [2064]. 52 2 1 For [1063] yourselves [846], brethren [80], know [1492] our [2257] entrance in [1529] unto [4314] you [5209], that [3754] it was [1096] not [3756] in vain [2756]: 52 2 2 But [235] even [2532] after that we had suffered before [4310], and [2532] were shamefully entreated [5195], as [2531] ye know [1492], at [1722] Philippi [5375], we were bold [3955] in [1722] our [2257] God [2316] to speak [2980] unto [4314] you [5209] the gospel [2098] of God [2316] with [1722] much [4183] contention [73]. 52 2 3 For [1063] our [2257] exhortation [3874] was not [3756] of [1537] deceit [4106], nor [3761] of [1537] uncleanness [167], nor [3777] in [1722] guile [1388]: 52 2 4 But [235] as [2531] we were allowed [1381] of [5259] God [2316] to be put in trust [4100] with the gospel [2098], even so [3779] we speak [2980]; not [3756] as [5613] pleasing [700] men [444], but [235] God [2316], which trieth [1381] our [2257] hearts [2588]. 52 2 5 For [1063] neither [3777] at any time [4218] used we [1096] flattering [2850] words [1722] [3056], as [2531] ye know [1492], nor [3777] a cloke [1722] [4392] of covetousness [4124]; God [2316] is witness [3144]: 52 2 6 Nor [3777] of [1537] men [444] sought [2212] we glory [1391], neither [3777] of [575] you [5216], nor [3777] yet of [575] others [243], when we might [1410] have been [1511] burdensome [1722] [922], as [5613] the apostles [652] of Christ [5547]. 52 2 7 But [235] we were [1096] gentle [2261] among [1722] [3319] you [5216], even as [5613] a nurse [5162] cherisheth [302] [2282] her [1438] children [5043]: 52 2 8 So [3779] being affectionately desirous [2442] of you [5216], we were willing [2106] to have imparted [3330] unto you [5213], not [3756] the gospel [2098] of God [2316] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] our own [1438] souls [5590], because [1360] ye were [1096] dear [27] unto us [2254]. 52 2 9 For [1063] ye remember [3421], brethren [80], our [2257] labour [2873] and [2532] travail [3449]: for [1063] labouring [2038] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250], because [4314] we would [1912] not [3361] be chargeable [1912] unto any [5100] of you [5216], we preached [2784] unto [1519] you [5209] the gospel [2098] of God [2316]. 52 2 10 Ye [5210] are witnesses [3144], and [2532] God [2316] also, how [5613] holily [3743] and [2532] justly [1346] and [2532] unblameably [274] we behaved ourselves [1096] among you [5213] that believe [4100]: 52 2 11 As [2509] ye know [1492] how [5613] we exhorted [3870] and [2532] comforted [3888] and charged [3140] every [1538] one [1520] of you [5209] [5216], as [5613] a father [3962] doth his [1438] children [5043], 52 2 12 [2532] That [1519] ye [5209] would walk [4043] worthy [516] of God [2316], who hath called [2564] you [5209] unto [1519] his [1438] kingdom [932] and [2532] glory [1391]. 52 2 13 For this [5124] cause [1223] also [2532] thank [2168] we [2249] God [2316] without ceasing [89], because [3754], when ye received [3880] the word [3056] of God [2316] which ye heard [189] of [3844] us [2257], ye received [1209] it not [3756] as the word [3056] of men [444], but [235] as [2531] it is [2076] in truth [230], the word [3056] of God [2316], which [3739] effectually worketh [1754] also [2532] in [1722] you [5213] that believe [4100]. 52 2 14 For [1063] ye [5210], brethren [80], became [1096] followers [3402] of the churches [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] in [1722] Judaea [2449] are [5607] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: for [3754] ye [5210] also [2532] have suffered [3958] like things [5024] of [5259] your own [2398] countrymen [4853], even [2532] as [2531] they have [846] of [5259] the Jews [2453]: 52 2 15 Who both [2532] killed [615] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] their own [2398] prophets [4396], and [2532] have persecuted [1559] us [2248]; and [2532] they please [700] not [3361] God [2316], and [2532] are contrary [1727] to all [3956] men [444]: 52 2 16 Forbidding [2967] us [2248] to speak [2980] to the Gentiles [1484] that [2443] they might be saved [4982], to [1519] fill up [378] their [846] sins [266] alway [3842]: for [1161] the wrath [3709] is come [5348] upon [1909] them [846] to [1519] the uttermost [5056]. 52 2 17 But [1161] we [2249], brethren [80], being taken [642] from [575] you [5216] for [4314] a short [5610] time [2540] in presence [4383], not [3756] in heart [2588], endeavoured [4704] the more abundantly [4056] to see [1492] your [5216] face [4383] with [1722] great [4183] desire [1939]. 52 2 18 Wherefore [1352] we would [2309] have come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], even [3303] I [1473] Paul [3972], once [2532] [530] and [2532] again [1364]; but [2532] Satan [4567] hindered [1465] us [2248]. 52 2 19 For [1063] what [5101] is our [2257] hope [1680], or [2228] joy [5479], or [2228] crown [4735] of rejoicing [2746]? [2228] Are not [3780] even [2532] ye [5210] in the presence [1715] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] at [1722] his [846] coming [3952]? 52 2 20 For [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] our [2257] glory [1391] and [2532] joy [5479]. 52 3 1 Wherefore [1352] when we could [4722] no longer [3371] forbear [4722], we thought it good [2106] to be left [2641] at [1722] Athens [116] alone [3441]; 52 3 2 And [2532] sent [3992] Timotheus [5095], our [2257] brother [80], and [2532] minister [1249] of God [2316], and [2532] our [2257] fellowlabourer [4904] in [1722] the gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], to [1519] establish [4741] you [5209], and [2532] to comfort [3870] you [5209] concerning [4012] your [5216] faith [4102]: 52 3 3 That no man [3367] should be moved [4525] by [1722] these [5025] afflictions [2347]: for [1063] yourselves [846] know [1492] that [3754] we are appointed [2749] thereunto [1519] [5124]. 52 3 4 For [1063] verily [2532], when [3753] we were [2258] with [4314] you [5209], we told [4302] you [5213] before [4302] that [3754] we should [3195] suffer tribulation [2346]; even [2532] as [2531] it came to pass [1096], and [2532] ye know [1492]. 52 3 5 For this [5124] cause [1223], when I [2504] could [4722] no longer [3371] forbear [4722], I sent [3992] to [1519] know [1097] your [5216] faith [4102], lest by some means [3381] [4458] the tempter [3985] have tempted [3985] you [5209], and [2532] our [2257] labour [2873] be [1096] in [1519] vain [2756]. 52 3 6 But [1161] now [737] when Timotheus [5095] came [2064] from [575] you [5216] unto [4314] us [2248], and [2532] brought [2097] us [2254] good tidings [2097] of your [5216] faith [4102] and [2532] charity [26], and [2532] that [3754] ye have [2192] good [18] remembrance [3417] of us [2257] always [3842], desiring greatly [1971] to see [1492] us [2248], as [2509] we [2249] also [2532] to see you [5209]: 52 3 7 Therefore [1223] [5124], brethren [80], we were comforted [3870] over [1909] you [5213] in [1909] all [3956] our [2257] affliction [2347] and [2532] distress [318] by [1223] your [5216] faith [4102]: 52 3 8 For [3754] now [3568] we live [2198], if [1437] ye [5210] stand fast [4739] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 52 3 9 For [1063] what [5101] thanks [2169] can we [1410] render [467] to God [2316] again [467] for [4012] you [5216], for [1909] all [3956] the joy [5479] wherewith [3739] we joy [5463] for [1223] your sakes [5209] before [1715] our [2257] God [2316]; 52 3 10 Night [3571] and [2532] day [2250] praying [1189] exceedingly [1537] [4053] [5228] that [1519] we might see [1492] your [5216] face [4383], and [2532] might perfect [2675] that which is lacking [5303] in your [5216] faith [4102]? 52 3 11 Now [1161] God [2316] himself [846] and [2532] our [2257] Father [3962], and [2532] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], direct [2720] our [2257] way [3598] unto [4314] you [5209]. 52 3 12 And [1161] the Lord [2962] make [4121] you [5209] to increase [4121] and [2532] abound [4052] in love [26] one [240] toward [1519] another [240], and [2532] toward [1519] all [3956] men, even [2532] as [2509] we [2249] do toward [1519] you [5209]: 52 3 13 To the end [1519] he may stablish [4741] your [5216] hearts [2588] unblameable [273] in [1722] holiness [42] before [1715] God [2316], even [2532] our [2257] Father [3962], at [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] with [3326] all [3956] his [846] saints [40]. 52 4 1 Furthermore [3063] then [3767] we beseech [2065] you [5209], brethren [80], and [2532] exhort [3870] you by [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that as [2531] ye have received [3880] of [3844] us [2257] how [4459] ye [5209] ought [1163] to walk [4043] and [2532] to please [700] God [2316], so [2443] ye would abound [4052] more and more [3123]. 52 4 2 For [1063] ye know [1492] what [5101] commandments [3852] we gave [1325] you [5213] by [1223] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 52 4 3 For [1063] this [5124] is [2076] the will [2307] of God [2316], even your [5216] sanctification [38], that ye [5209] should abstain [567] from [575] fornication [4202]: 52 4 4 That every one [1538] of you [5216] should know [1492] how to possess [2932] his [1438] vessel [4632] in [1722] sanctification [38] and [2532] honour [5092]; 52 4 5 Not [3361] in [1722] the lust [3806] of concupiscence [1939], even [2532] as [2509] the Gentiles [1484] which [3588] know [1492] not [3361] God [2316]: 52 4 6 That no [3361] man go beyond [5233] and [2532] defraud [4122] his [846] brother [80] in [1722] any matter [4229]: because [1360] that the Lord [2962] is the avenger [1558] of [4012] all [3956] such [5130], as [2531] we [4277] also [2532] have forewarned [4277] you [5213] and [2532] testified [1263]. 52 4 7 For [1063] God [2316] hath [2564] not [3756] called [2564] us [2248] unto [1909] uncleanness [167], but [235] unto [1722] holiness [38]. 52 4 8 He therefore [5105] that despiseth [114], despiseth [114] not [3756] man [444], but [235] God [2316], who hath [1325] also [2532] given [1325] unto [1519] us [2248] his [846] holy [40] Spirit [4151]. 52 4 9 But [1161] as touching [4012] brotherly love [5360] ye need [2192] [5532] not [3756] that I write [1125] unto you [5213]: for [1063] ye [5210] yourselves [846] are [2075] taught of God [2312] to [1519] love [25] one another [240]. 52 4 10 And [2532] indeed [1063] ye do [4160] it [846] toward [1519] all [3956] the brethren [80] which [3588] are in [1722] all [3650] Macedonia [3109]: but [1161] we beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], that ye increase [4052] more and more [3123]; 52 4 11 And [2532] that ye study [5389] to be quiet [2270], and [2532] to do [4238] your own business [2398], and [2532] to work with [2038] your [5216] own [2398] hands [5495], as [2531] we commanded [3853] you [5213]; 52 4 12 That [2443] ye may walk [4043] honestly [2156] toward [4314] them that are without [1854], and [2532] that ye may have [2192] lack [5532] of nothing [3367]. 52 4 13 But [1161] I would [2309] not [3756] have [2309] you [5209] to be ignorant [50], brethren [80], concerning [4012] them which are asleep [2837], that [3363] ye sorrow [3076] not [3363], even [2532] as [2531] others [3062] which [3588] have [2192] no [3361] hope [1680]. 52 4 14 For [1063] if [1487] we believe [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] died [599] and [2532] rose again [450], even so [3779] them also [2532] which sleep [2837] in [1223] Jesus [2424] will [71] God [2316] bring [71] with [4862] him [846]. 52 4 15 For [1063] this [5124] we say [3004] unto you [5213] by [1722] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], that [3754] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] and remain [4035] unto [1519] the coming [3952] of the Lord [2962] shall [5348] not [3364] prevent [5348] them which [3588] are asleep [2837]. 52 4 16 For [3754] the Lord [2962] himself [846] shall descend [2597] from [575] heaven [3772] with [1722] a shout [2752], with [1722] the voice [5456] of the archangel [743], and [2532] with [1722] the trump [4536] of God [2316]: and [2532] the dead [3498] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall rise [450] first [4412]: 52 4 17 Then [1899] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] and remain [4035] shall be caught up [726] together [260] with [4862] them [846] in [1722] the clouds [3507], to [1519] meet [529] the Lord [2962] in [1519] the air [109]: and [2532] so [3779] shall we [2071] ever [3842] be [2071] with [4862] the Lord [2962]. 52 4 18 Wherefore [5620] comfort [3870] one another [240] with [1722] these [5125] words [3056]. 52 5 1 But [1161] of [4012] the times [5550] and [2532] the seasons [2540], brethren [80], ye have [2192] no [3756] need [5532] that I write [1125] unto you [5213]. 52 5 2 For [1063] yourselves [846] know [1492] perfectly [199] that [3754] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] so [3779] cometh [2064] as [5613] a thief [2812] in [1722] the night [3571]. 52 5 3 For [1063] when [3752] they shall say [3004], Peace [1515] and [2532] safety [803]; then [5119] sudden [160] destruction [3639] cometh upon [2186] them [846], as [5618] travail [5604] upon [1722] a woman with child [1064] [2192]; and [2532] they shall [1628] not [3364] escape [1628]. 52 5 4 But [1161] ye [5210], brethren [80], are [2075] not [3756] in [1722] darkness [4655], that [2443] that day [2250] should overtake [2638] you [5209] as [5613] a thief [2812]. 52 5 5 Ye [5210] are [2075] all [3956] the children [5207] of light [5457], and [2532] the children [5207] of the day [2250]: we are [2070] not [3756] of the night [3571], nor [3761] of darkness [4655]. 52 5 6 Therefore [686] [3767] let us [2518] not [3361] sleep [2518], as [5613] [2532] do others [3062]; but [235] let us watch [1127] and [2532] be sober [3525]. 52 5 7 For [1063] they that sleep [2518] sleep [2518] in the night [3571]; and [2532] they that be drunken [3182] are drunken [3184] in the night [3571]. 52 5 8 But [1161] let [3525] us [2249], who are [5607] of the day [2250], be sober [3525], putting on [1746] the breastplate [2382] of faith [4102] and [2532] love [26]; and [2532] for an helmet [4030], the hope [1680] of salvation [4991]. 52 5 9 For [3754] God [2316] hath [5087] not [3756] appointed [5087] us [2248] to [1519] wrath [3709], but [235] to [1519] obtain [4047] salvation [4991] by [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], 52 5 10 Who [3588] died [599] for [5228] us [2257], that [2443], whether [1535] we wake [1127] or [1535] sleep [2518], we should live [2198] together [260] with [4862] him [846]. 52 5 11 Wherefore [1352] comfort [3870] yourselves together [240], and [2532] edify [3618] one [1520] another [1520], even [2531] as also [2532] ye do [4160]. 52 5 12 And [1161] we beseech [2065] you [5209], brethren [80], to know [1492] them which [3588] labour [2872] among [1722] you [5213], and [2532] are over [4291] you [5216] in [1722] the Lord [2962], and [2532] admonish [3560] you [5209]; 52 5 13 And [2532] to esteem [2233] them [846] very [5228] highly [1537] [4053] in [1722] love [26] for [1223] their [846] work's sake [2041]. And be at peace [1514] among [1722] yourselves [1438]. 52 5 14 Now [1161] we exhort [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], warn [3560] them that are unruly [813], comfort [3888] the feebleminded [3642], support [472] the weak [772], be patient [3114] toward [4314] all [3956] men. 52 5 15 See [3708] that none [3361] [5100] render [591] evil [2556] for [473] evil [2556] unto any [5100] man; but [235] ever [3842] follow [1377] that which [3588] is good [18], both [2532] among [1519] yourselves [240], and [2532] to [1519] all [3956] men. 52 5 16 Rejoice [5463] evermore [3842]. 52 5 17 Pray [4336] without ceasing [89]. 52 5 18 In [1722] every thing [3956] give thanks [2168]: for [1063] this [5124] is the will [2307] of God [2316] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] concerning [1519] you [5209]. 52 5 19 Quench [4570] not [3361] the Spirit [4151]. 52 5 20 Despise [1848] not [3361] prophesyings [4394]. 52 5 21 Prove [1381] all things [3956]; hold fast [2722] that which [3588] is good [2570]. 52 5 22 Abstain [567] from [575] all [3956] appearance [1491] of evil [4190]. 52 5 23 And [1161] the very [846] God [2316] of peace [1515] sanctify [37] you [5209] wholly [3651]; and [2532] I pray God your [5216] whole [3648] spirit [4151] and [2532] soul [5590] and [2532] body [4983] be preserved [5083] blameless [274] unto [1722] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 52 5 24 Faithful [4103] is he that calleth [2564] you [5209], who [3739] also [2532] will do [4160] it. 52 5 25 Brethren [80], pray [4336] for [4012] us [2257]. 52 5 26 Greet [782] all [3956] the brethren [80] with [1722] an holy [40] kiss [5370]. 52 5 27 I charge [3726] you [5209] by the Lord [2962] that this epistle [1992] be read [314] unto all [3956] the holy [40] brethren [80]. 52 5 28 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216]. Amen [281]. 53 1 1 Paul [3972], and [2532] Silvanus [4610], and [2532] Timotheus [5095], unto the church [1577] of the Thessalonians [2331] in [1722] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 53 1 2 Grace [5485] unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 53 1 3 We are bound [3784] to thank [2168] God [2316] always [3842] for [4012] you [5216], brethren [80], as [2531] it is [2076] meet [514], because [3754] that your [5216] faith [4102] groweth exceedingly [5232], and [2532] the charity [26] of every [1538] one [1520] of you [5216] all [3956] toward [1519] each other [240] aboundeth [4121]; 53 1 4 So [5620] that we [2248] ourselves [846] glory [2744] in [1722] you [5213] in [1722] the churches [1577] of God [2316] for [5228] your [5216] patience [5281] and [2532] faith [4102] in [1722] all [3956] your [5216] persecutions [1375] and [2532] tribulations [2347] that [3739] ye endure [430]: 53 1 5 Which is a manifest token [1730] of the righteous [1342] judgment [2920] of God [2316], that [1519] ye [5209] may be counted worthy [2661] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316], for [5228] which [3739] ye [3958] also [2532] suffer [3958]: 53 1 6 Seeing [1512] it is a righteous thing [1342] with [3844] God [2316] to recompense [467] tribulation [2347] to them that trouble [2346] you [5209]; 53 1 7 And [2532] to you [5213] who are troubled [2346] rest [425] with [3326] us [2257], when [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] shall be revealed [602] from [575] heaven [3772] with [3326] his [846] mighty [1411] angels [32], 53 1 8 In [1722] flaming [5395] fire [4442] taking [1325] vengeance [1557] on them that know [1492] not [3361] God [2316], and [2532] that obey [5219] not [3361] the gospel [2098] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 53 1 9 Who [3748] shall be punished [1349] [5099] with everlasting [166] destruction [3639] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] from [575] the glory [1391] of his [846] power [2479]; 53 1 10 When [3752] he shall come [2064] to be glorified [1740] in [1722] his [846] saints [40], and [2532] to be admired [2296] in [1722] all [3956] them that believe [4100] (because [3754] our [2257] testimony [3142] among [1909] you [5209] was believed [4100] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250]. 53 1 11 Wherefore [1519] [3739] also [2532] we pray [4336] always [3842] for [4012] you [5216], that [2443] our [2257] God [2316] would count [515] you [5209] worthy [515] of this calling [2821], and [2532] fulfil [4137] all [3956] the good pleasure [2107] of his goodness [19], and [2532] the work [2041] of faith [4102] with [1722] power [1411]: 53 1 12 That [3704] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] may be glorified [1740] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] ye [5210] in [1722] him [846], according to [2596] the grace [5485] of our [2257] God [2316] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 53 2 1 Now [1161] we beseech [2065] you [5209], brethren [80], by [5228] the coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] by our [2257] gathering together [1997] unto [1909] him [846], 53 2 2 That [1519] ye [5209] be [4531] not [3361] soon [5030] shaken [4531] in [575] mind [3563], or [3383] be troubled [2360], neither [3383] by [1223] spirit [4151], nor [3383] by [1223] word [3056], nor [3383] by [1223] letter [1992] as [5613] from [1223] us [2257], as [5613] that [3754] the day [2250] of Christ [5547] is at hand [1764]. 53 2 3 Let [1818] no [3361] man [5100] deceive [1818] you [5209] by [2596] any [3367] means [5158]: for [3754] that day shall not come, except [3362] there come [2064] a falling away [646] first [4412], and [2532] that man [444] of sin [266] be revealed [601], the son [5207] of perdition [684]; 53 2 4 Who [3588] opposeth [480] and [2532] exalteth [5229] himself above [1909] all [3956] that is called [3004] God [2316], or [2228] that is worshipped [4574]; so [5620] that he [846] as [5613] God [2316] sitteth [2523] in [1519] the temple [3485] of God [2316], shewing [584] himself [1438] that [3754] he is [2076] God [2316]. 53 2 5 Remember ye [3421] not [3756], that [3754], when I was [5607] yet [2089] with [4314] you [5209], I told [3004] you [5213] these things [5023]? 53 2 6 And [2532] now [3568] ye know [1492] what withholdeth [2722] that [1519] he [846] might be revealed [601] in [1722] his [1438] time [2540]. 53 2 7 For [1063] the mystery [3466] of iniquity [458] doth [1754] already [2235] work [1754]: only [3440] he who now [737] letteth [2722] will let, until [2193] he be taken [1096] out of [1537] the way [3319]. 53 2 8 And [2532] then [5119] shall [601] that Wicked [459] be revealed [601], whom [3739] the Lord [2962] shall consume [355] with the spirit [4151] of his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] shall destroy [2673] with the brightness [2015] of his [846] coming [3952]: 53 2 9 Even him, whose [3739] coming [3952] is [2076] after [2596] the working [1753] of Satan [4567] with [1722] all [3956] power [1411] and [2532] signs [4592] and [2532] lying [5579] wonders [5059], 53 2 10 And [2532] with [1722] all [3956] deceivableness [539] of unrighteousness [93] in [1722] them that perish [622]; because [473] [3739] they received [1209] not [3756] the love [26] of the truth [225], that [1519] they [846] might be saved [4982]. 53 2 11 And [2532] for this [5124] cause [1223] God [2316] shall send [3992] them [846] strong [1753] delusion [4106], that [1519] they [846] should believe [4100] a lie [5579]: 53 2 12 That [2443] they all [3956] might be damned [2919] who [3588] believed [4100] not [3361] the truth [225], but [235] had pleasure [2106] in [1722] unrighteousness [93]. 53 2 13 But [1161] we [2249] are bound [3784] to give thanks [2168] alway [3842] to God [2316] for [4012] you [5216], brethren [80] beloved [25] of [5259] the Lord [2962], because [3754] God [2316] hath [138] from [575] the beginning [746] chosen [138] you [5209] to [1519] salvation [4991] through [1722] sanctification [38] of the Spirit [4151] and [2532] belief [4102] of the truth [225]: 53 2 14 Whereunto [1519] [3739] he called [2564] you [5209] by [1223] our [2257] gospel [2098], to [1519] the obtaining [4047] of the glory [1391] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 53 2 15 Therefore [686] [3767], brethren [80], stand fast [4739], and [2532] hold [2902] the traditions [3862] which [3739] ye have been taught [1321], whether [1535] by [1223] word [3056], or [1535] [1223] our [2257] epistle [1992]. 53 2 16 Now [1161] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] himself [846], and [2532] God [2316], even [2532] our [2257] Father [3962], which [3588] hath loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] hath given [1325] us everlasting [166] consolation [3874] and [2532] good [18] hope [1680] through [1722] grace [5485], 53 2 17 Comfort [3870] your [5216] hearts [2588], and [2532] stablish [4741] you [5209] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] word [3056] and [2532] work [2041]. 53 3 1 Finally [3063], brethren [80], pray [4336] for [4012] us [2257], that [2443] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962] may have free course [5143], and [2532] be glorified [1392], even [2532] as [2531] it is with [4314] you [5209]: 53 3 2 And [2532] that [2443] we may be delivered [4506] from [575] unreasonable [824] and [2532] wicked [4190] men [444]: for [1063] all [3956] men have not [3756] faith [4102]. 53 3 3 But [1161] the Lord [2962] is [2076] faithful [4103], who [3739] shall stablish [4741] you [5209], and [2532] keep [5442] you from [575] evil [4190]. 53 3 4 And [1161] we have confidence [3982] in [1722] the Lord [2962] touching [1909] you [5209], that [3754] ye both [2532] do [4160] and [2532] will do [4160] the things which [3739] we command [3853] you [5213]. 53 3 5 And [1161] the Lord [2962] direct [2720] your [5216] hearts [2588] into [1519] the love [26] of God [2316], and [2532] into [1519] the patient waiting [5281] for Christ [5547]. 53 3 6 Now [1161] we command [3853] you [5213], brethren [80], in [1722] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that ye withdraw [4724] yourselves [5209] from [575] every [3956] brother [80] that walketh [4043] disorderly [814], and [2532] not [3361] after [2596] the tradition [3862] which [3739] he received [3880] of [3844] us [2257]. 53 3 7 For [1063] yourselves [846] know [1492] how [4459] ye ought [1163] to follow [3401] us [2248]: for [3754] we behaved [812] not [3756] ourselves disorderly [812] among [1722] you [5213]; 53 3 8 Neither [3761] did we eat [5315] any man's [3844] [5100] bread [740] for nought [1432]; but [235] wrought [2038] with [1722] labour [2873] and [2532] travail [3449] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250], that [4314] we might [1912] not [3361] be chargeable [1912] to any [5100] of you [5216]: 53 3 9 Not [3756] because [3754] we have [2192] not [3756] power [1849], but [235] to [2443] make [1325] ourselves [1438] an ensample [5179] unto you [5213] to [1519] follow [3401] us [2248]. 53 3 10 For [1063] even [2532] when [3753] we were [2258] with [4314] you [5209], this [5124] we commanded [3853] you [5213], that [3754] if any [1536] would [2309] not [3756] work [2038], neither [3366] should he eat [2068]. 53 3 11 For [1063] we hear [191] that there are some [5100] which walk [4043] among [1722] you [5213] disorderly [814], working [2038] not at all [3367], but [235] are busybodies [4020]. 53 3 12 Now [1161] them that are such [5108] we command [3853] and [2532] exhort [3870] by [1223] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] with [3326] quietness [2271] they work [2038], and eat [2068] their own [1438] bread [740]. 53 3 13 But [1161] ye [5210], brethren [80], be [1573] not [3361] weary [1573] in well doing [2569]. 53 3 14 And [1161] if any man [1536] obey [5219] not [3756] our [2257] word [3056] by [1223] this epistle [1992], note [4593] that [5126] man, and [2532] have [4874] no [3361] company with [4874] him [846], that [2443] he may be ashamed [1788]. 53 3 15 Yet [2532] count [2233] him not [3361] as [5613] an enemy [2190], but [235] admonish [3560] him as [5613] a brother [80]. 53 3 16 Now [1161] the Lord [2962] of peace [1515] himself [846] give [1325] you [5213] peace [1515] always [1223] [3956] by [1722] all [3956] means [5158]. The Lord [2962] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. 53 3 17 The salutation [783] of Paul [3972] with mine own [1699] hand [5495], which [3739] is [2076] the token [4592] in [1722] every [3956] epistle [1992]: so [3779] I write [1125]. 53 3 18 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 54 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [2596] the commandment [2003] of God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], and [2532] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which [3588] is our [2257] hope [1680]; 54 1 2 Unto Timothy [5095], my own [1103] son [5043] in [1722] the faith [4102]: Grace [5485], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962] and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 54 1 3 As [2531] I besought [3870] thee [4571] to abide still [4357] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], when I went [4198] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], that [2443] thou mightest charge [3853] some [5100] that they teach [2085] no [3361] other doctrine [2085], 54 1 4 Neither [3366] give heed [4337] to fables [3454] and [2532] endless [562] genealogies [1076], which [3748] minister [3930] questions [2214], rather [3123] than [2228] godly [2316] edifying [3620] which [3588] is in [1722] faith [4102]: so do. 54 1 5 Now [1161] the end [5056] of the commandment [3852] is [2076] charity [26] out of [1537] a pure [2513] heart [2588], and [2532] of a good [18] conscience [4893], and [2532] of faith [4102] unfeigned [505]: 54 1 6 From which [3739] some [5100] having swerved [795] have turned aside [1624] unto [1519] vain jangling [3150]; 54 1 7 Desiring [2309] to be [1511] teachers of the law [3547]; [3361] understanding [3539] neither [3383] what [3739] they say [3004], nor [3383] whereof [4012] [5101] they affirm [1226]. 54 1 8 But [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] the law [3551] is good [2570], if [1437] a man [5100] use [5530] it [846] lawfully [3545]; 54 1 9 Knowing [1492] this [5124], that [3754] the law [3551] is [2749] not [3756] made [2749] for a righteous man [1342], but [1161] for the lawless [459] and [2532] disobedient [506], for the ungodly [765] and [2532] for sinners [268], for unholy [462] and [2532] profane [952], for murderers of fathers [3964] and [2532] murderers of mothers [3389], for manslayers [409], 54 1 10 For whoremongers [4205], for them that defile themselves with mankind [733], for menstealers [405], for liars [5583], for perjured persons [1965], and [2532] if there be any [1536] other thing [2087] that is contrary [480] to sound [5198] doctrine [1319]; 54 1 11 According [2596] to the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of the blessed [3107] God [2316], which [3739] was committed to [4100] my [1473] trust [4100]. 54 1 12 And [2532] I thank [2192] [5485] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962], who [3588] hath enabled [1743] me [3165], for [3754] that he counted [2233] me [3165] faithful [4103], putting me [5087] into [1519] the ministry [1248]; 54 1 13 Who [3588] was [5607] before [4386] a blasphemer [989], and [2532] a persecutor [1376], and [2532] injurious [5197]: but [235] I obtained mercy [1653], because [3754] I did [4160] it ignorantly [50] in [1722] unbelief [570]. 54 1 14 And [1161] the grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] was exceeding abundant [5250] with [3326] faith [4102] and [2532] love [26] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 54 1 15 This is a faithful [4103] saying [3056], and [2532] worthy [514] of all [3956] acceptation [594], that [3754] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] came [2064] into [1519] the world [2889] to save [4982] sinners [268]; of whom [3739] I [1473] am [1510] chief [4413]. 54 1 16 Howbeit [235] for this [5124] cause [1223] I obtained mercy [1653], that [2443] in [1722] me [1698] first [4413] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] might shew forth [1731] all [3956] longsuffering [3115], for [4314] a pattern [5296] to them which should hereafter [3195] believe [4100] on [1909] him [846] to [1519] life [2222] everlasting [166]. 54 1 17 Now [1161] unto the King [935] eternal [165], immortal [862], invisible [517], the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316], be honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 54 1 18 This [5026] charge [3852] I commit [3908] unto thee [4671], son [5043] Timothy [5095], according to [2596] the prophecies [4394] which went before [4254] on [1909] thee [4571], that [2443] thou [4754] by [1722] them [846] mightest war [4754] a good [2570] warfare [4752]; 54 1 19 Holding [2192] faith [4102], and [2532] a good [18] conscience [4893]; which [3739] some [5100] having put away [683] concerning [4012] faith [4102] have made shipwreck [3489]: 54 1 20 Of whom [3739] is [2076] Hymenaeus [5211] and [2532] Alexander [223]; whom [3739] I have delivered [3860] unto Satan [4567], that [2443] they may learn [3811] not [3361] to blaspheme [987]. 54 2 1 I exhort [3870] therefore [3767], that, first [4412] of all [3956], supplications [1162], prayers [4335], intercessions [1783], and giving of thanks [2169], be made [4160] for [5228] all [3956] men [444]; 54 2 2 For [5228] kings [935], and [2532] for all [3956] that are [5607] in [1722] authority [5247]; that [2443] we may lead [1236] a quiet [2263] and [2532] peaceable [2272] life [979] in [1722] all [3956] godliness [2150] and [2532] honesty [4587]. 54 2 3 For [1063] this [5124] is good [2570] and [2532] acceptable [587] in the sight [1799] of God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990]; 54 2 4 Who [3739] will have [2309] all [3956] men [444] to be saved [4982], and [2532] to come [2064] unto [1519] the knowledge [1922] of the truth [225]. 54 2 5 For [1063] there is one [1520] God [2316], and [2532] one [1520] mediator [3316] between God [2316] and [2532] men [444], the man [444] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]; 54 2 6 Who [3588] gave [1325] himself [1438] a ransom [487] for [5228] all [3956], to be testified [3142] in due [2398] time [2540]. 54 2 7 Whereunto [1519] [3739] I [1473] am ordained [5087] a preacher [2783], and [2532] an apostle [652], (I speak [3004] the truth [225] in [1722] Christ [5547], and lie [5574] not [3756];) a teacher [1320] of the Gentiles [1484] in [1722] faith [4102] and [2532] verity [225]. 54 2 8 I will [1014] therefore [3767] that men [435] pray [4336] every [1722] [3956] where [5117], lifting up [1869] holy [3741] hands [5495], without [5565] wrath [3709] and [2532] doubting [1261]. 54 2 9 In like manner [5615] also [2532], that women [1135] adorn [2885] themselves [1438] in [1722] modest [2887] apparel [2689], with [3326] shamefacedness [127] and [2532] sobriety [4997]; not [3361] with [1722] broided hair [4117], or [2228] gold [5557], or [2228] pearls [3135], or [2228] costly [4185] array [2441]; 54 2 10 But [235] (which [3739] becometh [4241] women [1135] professing [1861] godliness [2317]) with [1223] good [18] works [2041]. 54 2 11 Let [3129] the woman [1135] learn [3129] in [1722] silence [2271] with [1722] all [3956] subjection [5292]. 54 2 12 But [1161] I suffer [2010] not [3756] a woman [1135] to teach [1321], nor [3761] to usurp authority [831] over the man [435], but [235] to be [1511] in [1722] silence [2271]. 54 2 13 For [1063] Adam [76] was [4111] first [4413] formed [4111], then [1534] Eve [2096]. 54 2 14 And [2532] Adam [76] was [538] not [3756] deceived [538], but [1161] the woman [1135] being deceived [538] was [1096] in [1722] the transgression [3847]. 54 2 15 Notwithstanding [1161] she shall be saved [4982] in [1223] childbearing [5042], if [1437] they continue [3306] in [1722] faith [4102] and [2532] charity [26] and [2532] holiness [38] with [3326] sobriety [4997]. 54 3 1 This is a true [4103] saying [3056], If a man [1536] desire [3713] the office of a bishop [1984], he desireth [1937] a good [2570] work [2041]. 54 3 2 A bishop [1985] then [3767] must [1163] be [1511] blameless [423], the husband [435] of one [3391] wife [1135], vigilant [3524], sober [4998], of good behaviour [2887], given to hospitality [5382], apt to teach [1317]; 54 3 3 Not [3361] given to wine [3943], no [3361] striker [4131], not [3361] greedy of filthy lucre [146]; but [235] patient [1933], not a brawler [269], not covetous [866]; 54 3 4 One that ruleth [4291] well [2573] his own [2398] house [3624], having [2192] his children [5043] in [1722] subjection [5292] with [3326] all [3956] gravity [4587]; 54 3 5 (For [1161] if a man [1536] know [1492] not [3756] how [1492] to rule [4291] his own [2398] house [3624], how [4459] shall he take care of [1959] the church [1577] of God [2316]?) 54 3 6 Not [3361] a novice [3504], lest [3363] being lifted up with pride [5187] he fall [1706] into [1519] the condemnation [2917] of the devil [1228]. 54 3 7 Moreover [1161] [2532] he [846] must [1163] have [2192] a good [2570] report [3141] of [575] them which are without [1855]; lest [3363] he fall [1706] into [1519] reproach [3680] and [2532] the snare [3803] of the devil [1228]. 54 3 8 Likewise [5615] must the deacons [1249] be grave [4586], not [3361] doubletongued [1351], not [3361] given [4337] to much [4183] wine [3631], not [3361] greedy of filthy lucre [146]; 54 3 9 Holding [2192] the mystery [3466] of the faith [4102] in [1722] a pure [2513] conscience [4893]. 54 3 10 And [1161] let [1381] these [3778] also [2532] first [4412] be proved [1381]; then [1534] let them use the office of a deacon [1247], being [5607] found blameless [410]. 54 3 11 Even so [5615] must their wives [1135] be grave [4586], not [3361] slanderers [1228], sober [3524], faithful [4103] in [1722] all things [3956]. 54 3 12 Let [2077] the deacons [1249] be [2077] the husbands [435] of one [3391] wife [1135], ruling [4291] their children [5043] and [2532] their own [2398] houses [3624] well [2573]. 54 3 13 For [1063] they that have used the office of a deacon [1247] well [2573] purchase [4046] to themselves [1438] a good [2570] degree [898], and [2532] great [4183] boldness [3954] in [1722] the faith [4102] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 54 3 14 These things [5023] write I [1125] unto thee [4671], hoping [1679] to come [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571] shortly [5032]: 54 3 15 But [1161] if [1437] I tarry long [1019], that [2443] thou mayest know [1492] how [4459] thou oughtest [1163] to behave thyself [390] in [1722] the house [3624] of God [2316], which [3748] is [2076] the church [1577] of the living [2198] God [2316], the pillar [4769] and [2532] ground [1477] of the truth [225]. 54 3 16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391]. 54 4 1 Now [1161] the Spirit [4151] speaketh [3004] expressly [4490], that [3754] in [1722] the latter [5306] times [2540] some [5100] shall depart from [868] the faith [4102], giving heed [4337] to seducing [4108] spirits [4151], and [2532] doctrines [1319] of devils [1140]; 54 4 2 Speaking lies [5573] in [1722] hypocrisy [5272]; having [2743] their [2398] conscience [4893] seared with a hot iron [2743]; 54 4 3 Forbidding [2967] to marry [1060], and commanding to abstain from [567] meats [1033], which [3739] God [2316] hath created [2936] to [1519] be received [3336] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169] of them which believe [4103] and [2532] know [1921] the truth [225]. 54 4 4 For [3754] every [3956] creature [2938] of God [2316] is good [2570], and [2532] nothing [3762] to be refused [579], if it be received [2983] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169]: 54 4 5 For [1063] it is sanctified [37] by [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316] and [2532] prayer [1783]. 54 4 6 If thou put [5294] the brethren [80] in remembrance [5294] of these things [5023], thou shalt be [2071] a good [2570] minister [1249] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], nourished up [1789] in the words [3056] of faith [4102] and [2532] of good [2570] doctrine [1319], whereunto [3739] thou hast attained [3877]. 54 4 7 But [1161] refuse [3868] profane [952] and [2532] old wives [1126]' fables [3454], and [1161] exercise [1128] thyself [4572] rather unto [4314] godliness [2150]. 54 4 8 For [1063] bodily [4984] exercise [1129] profiteth [2076] little [4314] [3641]: but [1161] godliness [2150] is [2076] profitable unto [4314] all things [3956], having [2192] promise [1860] of the life [2222] that now is [3568], and [2532] of that which is to come [3195]. 54 4 9 This is a faithful [4103] saying [3056] and [2532] worthy [514] of all [3956] acceptation [594]. 54 4 10 For [1063] therefore [1519] [5124] we [2872] both [2532] labour [2872] and [2532] suffer reproach [3679], because [3754] we trust [1679] in [1909] the living [2198] God [2316], who [3739] is [2076] the Saviour [4990] of all [3956] men [444], specially [3122] of those that believe [4103]. 54 4 11 These things [5023] command [3853] and [2532] teach [1321]. 54 4 12 Let [2706] no man [3367] despise [2706] thy [4675] youth [3503]; but [235] be thou [1096] an example [5179] of the believers [4103], in [1722] word [3056], in [1722] conversation [391], in [1722] charity [26], in [1722] spirit [4151], in [1722] faith [4102], in [1722] purity [47]. 54 4 13 Till [2193] I come [2064], give attendance [4337] to reading [320], to exhortation [3874], to doctrine [1319]. 54 4 14 Neglect [272] not [3361] the gift [5486] that is in [1722] thee [4671], which [3739] was given [1325] thee [4671] by [1223] prophecy [4394], with [3326] the laying on [1936] of the hands [5495] of the presbytery [4244]. 54 4 15 Meditate upon [3191] these things [5023]; give thyself [2468] wholly to [1722] them [5125]; that [2443] thy [4675] profiting [4297] may [5600] appear [5318] to [1722] all [3956]. 54 4 16 Take heed [1907] unto thyself [4572], and [2532] unto the doctrine [1319]; continue [1961] in them [846]: for [1063] in doing [4160] this [5124] thou shalt [4982] both [2532] save [4982] thyself [4572], and [2532] them that hear [191] thee [4675]. 54 5 1 Rebuke [1969] not [3361] an elder [4245], but [235] intreat [3870] him as [5613] a father [3962]; and the younger men [3501] as [5613] brethren [80]; 54 5 2 The elder women [4245] as [5613] mothers [3384]; the younger [3501] as [5613] sisters [79], with [1722] all [3956] purity [47]. 54 5 3 Honour [5091] widows [5503] that are widows [5503] indeed [3689]. 54 5 4 But [1161] if any [1536] widow [5503] have [2192] children [5043] or [2228] nephews [1549], let them learn [3129] first [4412] to shew piety [2151] at home [2398] [3624], and [2532] to requite [287] [591] their parents [4269]: for [1063] that [5124] is [2076] good [2570] and [2532] acceptable [587] before [1799] God [2316]. 54 5 5 Now [1161] she that is a widow [5503] indeed [3689], and [2532] desolate [3443], trusteth [1679] in [1909] God [2316], and [2532] continueth [4357] in supplications [1162] and [2532] prayers [4335] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250]. 54 5 6 But [1161] she that liveth in pleasure [4684] is dead [2348] while she liveth [2198]. 54 5 7 And [2532] these things [5023] give in charge [3853], that [2443] they may be [5600] blameless [423]. 54 5 8 But [1161] if any [1536] provide [4306] not [3756] for his own [2398], and [2532] specially [3122] for those of his own house [3609], he hath denied [720] the faith [4102], and [2532] is [2076] worse than [5501] an infidel [571]. 54 5 9 Let [2639] not [3361] a widow [5503] be taken into the number [2639] under [1640] threescore [1835] years old [2094], having been [1096] the wife [1135] of one [1520] man [435], 54 5 10 Well reported of [3140] for [1722] good [2570] works [2041]; if [1487] she have brought up [5044] children, if [1487] she have lodged strangers [3580], if [1487] she have washed [3538] the saints [40]' feet [4228], if [1487] she have relieved [1884] the afflicted [2346], if [1487] she have diligently followed [1872] every [3956] good [18] work [2041]. 54 5 11 But [1161] the younger [3501] widows [5503] refuse [3868]: for [1063] when [3752] they have begun to wax wanton against [2691] Christ [5547], they will [2309] marry [1060]; 54 5 12 Having [2192] damnation [2917], because [3754] they have cast off [114] their first [4413] faith [4102]. 54 5 13 And [1161] [2532] withal [260] they learn [3129] to be idle [692], wandering about [4022] from house to house [3614]; and [1161] not [3756] only [3440] idle [692], but [235] tattlers [5397] also [2532] and [2532] busybodies [4021], speaking [2980] things which [3588] they ought [1163] not [3361]. 54 5 14 I will [1014] therefore [3767] that the younger women [3501] marry [1060], bear children [5041], guide the house [3616], give [1325] none [3367] occasion [874] to the adversary [480] to [5484] speak reproachfully [3059]. 54 5 15 For [1063] some [5100] are [1624] already [2235] turned aside [1624] after [3694] Satan [4567]. 54 5 16 If any [1536] man [4103] or [2228] woman that believeth [4103] have [2192] widows [5503], let them relieve [1884] them [846], and [2532] let [916] not [3361] the church [1577] be charged [916]; that [2443] it may relieve [1884] them that are widows [5503] indeed [3689]. 54 5 17 Let [515] the elders [4245] that rule [4291] well [2573] be counted worthy [515] of double [1362] honour [5092], especially [3122] they who labour [2872] in [1722] the word [3056] and [2532] doctrine [1319]. 54 5 18 For [1063] the scripture [1124] saith [3004], Thou shalt [5392] not [3756] muzzle [5392] the ox [1016] that treadeth out the corn [248]. And [2532], The labourer [2040] is worthy [514] of his [846] reward [3408]. 54 5 19 Against [2596] an elder [4245] receive [3858] not [3361] an accusation [2724], but [1508] [1622] before [1909] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] witnesses [3144]. 54 5 20 Them that sin [264] rebuke [1651] before [1799] all [3956], that [2443] others [3062] also [2532] may [2192] fear [5401]. 54 5 21 I charge [1263] thee before [1799] God [2316], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] the elect [1588] angels [32], that [2443] thou observe [5442] these things [5023] without [5565] preferring one before another [4299], doing [4160] nothing [3367] by [2596] partiality [4346]. 54 5 22 Lay [2007] hands [5495] suddenly [5030] on [2007] no man [3367], neither [3366] be partaker [2841] of other [245] men's sins [266]: keep [5083] thyself [4572] pure [53]. 54 5 23 Drink [5202] no longer [3371] water [5202], but [235] use [5530] a little [3641] wine [3631] for [1223] thy [4675] stomach's sake [4751] and [2532] thine [4675] often [4437] infirmities [769]. 54 5 24 Some [5100] men's [444] sins [266] are [1526] open beforehand [4271], going before [4254] to [1519] judgment [2920]; and [1161] [2532] some [5100] men they follow after [1872]. 54 5 25 Likewise [5615] also [2532] the good [2570] works [2041] of some are [2076] manifest beforehand [4271]; and [2532] they that are [2192] otherwise [247] cannot [3756] [1410] be hid [2928]. 54 6 1 Let [1526] as many [3745] servants [1401] as [3745] are [1526] under [5259] the yoke [2218] count [2233] their own [2398] masters [1203] worthy [514] of all [3956] honour [5092], that [3363] the name [3686] of God [2316] and [2532] his doctrine [1319] be [987] not [3363] blasphemed [987]. 54 6 2 And [1161] they that have [2192] believing [4103] masters [1203], let them [2706] not [3361] despise [2706] them, because [3754] they are [1526] brethren [80]; but [235] rather [3123] do them service [1398], because [3754] they are [1526] faithful [4103] and [2532] beloved [27], partakers [482] of the benefit [2108]. These things [5023] teach [1321] and [2532] exhort [3870]. 54 6 3 If any man [1536] teach otherwise [2085], and [2532] consent [4334] not [3361] to wholesome [5198] words [3056], even the words of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] to the doctrine [1319] which is according [2596] to godliness [2150]; 54 6 4 He is proud [5187], knowing [1987] nothing [3367], but [235] doting [3552] about [4012] questions [2214] and [2532] strifes of words [3055], whereof [1537] [3739] cometh [1096] envy [5355], strife [2054], railings [988], evil [4190] surmisings [5283], 54 6 5 Perverse disputings [3859] of men [444] of corrupt [1311] minds [3563], and [2532] destitute [650] of the truth [225], supposing [3543] that gain [4200] is [1511] godliness [2150]: from [575] such [5108] withdraw thyself [868]. 54 6 6 But [1161] godliness [2150] with [3326] contentment [841] is [2076] great [3173] gain [4200]. 54 6 7 For [1063] we brought [1533] nothing [3762] into [1519] this world [2889], and it is certain [1212] [3754] we can [1410] carry [1627] nothing [3761] [5100] out [1627]. 54 6 8 And [1161] having [2192] food [1305] and [2532] raiment [4629] let us be [714] therewith [5125] content [714]. 54 6 9 But [1161] they that will [1014] be rich [4147] fall [1706] into [1519] temptation [3986] and [2532] a snare [3803], and [2532] into many [4183] foolish [453] and [2532] hurtful [983] lusts [1939], which [3748] drown [1036] men [444] in [1519] destruction [3639] and [2532] perdition [684]. 54 6 10 For [1063] the love of money [5365] is [2076] the root [4491] of all [3956] evil [2556]: which [3739] while some [5100] coveted after [3713], they have erred [635] from [575] the faith [4102], and [2532] pierced [4044] themselves [1438] through [4044] with many [4183] sorrows [3601]. 54 6 11 But [1161] thou [4771], O [5599] man [444] of God [2316], flee [5343] these things [5023]; and [1161] follow after [1377] righteousness [1343], godliness [2150], faith [4102], love [26], patience [5281], meekness [4236]. 54 6 12 Fight [75] the good [2570] fight [73] of faith [4102], lay hold on [1949] eternal [166] life [2222], whereunto [1519] [3739] thou art [2564] also [2532] called [2564], and [2532] hast professed [3670] a good [2570] profession [3671] before [1799] many [4183] witnesses [3144]. 54 6 13 I give [3853] thee [4671] charge [3853] in the sight [1799] of God [2316], who [3588] quickeneth [2227] all things [3956], and [2532] before Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], who [3588] before [1909] Pontius [4194] Pilate [4091] witnessed [3140] a good [2570] confession [3671]; 54 6 14 That thou [4571] keep [5083] this commandment [1785] without spot [784], unrebukeable [423], until [3360] the appearing [2015] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 54 6 15 Which [3739] in his [2398] times [2540] he shall shew [1166], who [3588] is the blessed [3107] and [2532] only [3441] Potentate [1413], the King [935] of kings [936], and [2532] Lord [2962] of lords [2961]; 54 6 16 Who [3588] only [3441] hath [2192] immortality [110], dwelling [3611] in the light [5457] which no man [3762] can approach unto [676]; whom [3739] no man [444] hath seen [1492], nor [3761] can [1410] see [1492]: to whom [3739] be honour [5092] and [2532] power [2904] everlasting [166]. Amen [281]. 54 6 17 Charge [3853] them that are rich [4145] in [1722] this [3568] world [165], that they be [5309] not [3361] highminded [5309], nor [3366] trust [1679] in [1909] uncertain [83] riches [4149], but [235] in [1722] the living [2198] God [2316], who [3588] giveth [3930] us [2254] richly [4146] all things [3956] to [1519] enjoy [619]; 54 6 18 That they do good [14], that they be rich [4147] in [1722] good [2570] works [2041], ready to distribute [1511] [2130], willing to communicate [2843]; 54 6 19 Laying up in store [597] for themselves [1438] a good [2570] foundation [2310] against [1519] the time to come [3195], that [2443] they may lay hold on [1949] eternal [166] life [2222]. 54 6 20 O [5599] Timothy [5095], keep [5442] that which is committed to thy trust [3872], avoiding [1624] profane [952] and vain babblings [2757], and [2532] oppositions [477] of science [1108] falsely so called [5581]: 54 6 21 Which [3739] some [5100] professing [1861] have erred [795] concerning [4012] the faith [4102]. Grace [5485] be with [3326] thee [4675]. Amen [281]. 55 1 1 Paul [3972], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] by [1223] the will [2307] of God [2316], according to [2596] the promise [1860] of life [2222] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], 55 1 2 To Timothy [5095], my dearly beloved [27] son [5043]: Grace [5485], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] the Father [3962] and [2532] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] our [2257] Lord [2962]. 55 1 3 I thank [2192] [5485] God [2316], whom [3739] I serve [3000] from [575] my forefathers [4269] with [1722] pure [2513] conscience [4893], that [5613] without ceasing [88] I have [2192] remembrance [3417] of [4012] thee [4675] in [1722] my [3450] prayers [1162] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250]; 55 1 4 Greatly desiring [1971] to see [1492] thee [4571], being mindful [3415] of thy [4675] tears [1144], that [2443] I may be filled [4137] with joy [5479]; 55 1 5 When I call [2983] to remembrance [5280] the unfeigned [505] faith [4102] that is in [1722] thee [4671], which [3748] dwelt [1774] first [4412] in [1722] thy [4675] grandmother [3125] Lois [3090], and [2532] thy [4675] mother [3384] Eunice [2131]; and [1161] I am persuaded [3982] that [3754] in [1722] thee [4671] also [2532]. 55 1 6 Wherefore [1223] [3739] [156] I put [363] thee [4571] in remembrance [363] that thou stir up [329] the gift [5486] of God [2316], which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] thee [4671] by [1223] the putting on [1936] of my [3450] hands [5495]. 55 1 7 For [1063] God [2316] hath [1325] not [3756] given [1325] us [2254] the spirit [4151] of fear [1167]; but [235] of power [1411], and [2532] of love [26], and [2532] of a sound mind [4995]. 55 1 8 Be [1870] not [3361] thou [1870] therefore [3767] ashamed [1870] of the testimony [3142] of our [2257] Lord [2962], nor [3366] of me [1691] his [846] prisoner [1198]: but [235] be thou partaker of the afflictions [4777] of the gospel [2098] according to [2596] the power [1411] of God [2316]; 55 1 9 Who [3588] hath saved [4982] us [2248], and [2532] called [2564] us with an holy [40] calling [2821], not [3756] according to [2596] our [2257] works [2041], but [235] according to [2596] his own [2398] purpose [4286] and [2532] grace [5485], which [3588] was given [1325] us [2254] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] before [4253] the world began [5550] [166], 55 1 10 But [1161] is [5319] now [3568] made manifest [5319] by [1223] the appearing [2015] of our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3303] hath abolished [2673] death [2288], and [1161] hath brought [5461] life [2222] and [2532] immortality [861] to light [5461] through [1223] the gospel [2098]: 55 1 11 Whereunto [1519] [3739] I [1473] am appointed [5087] a preacher [2783], and [2532] an apostle [652], and [2532] a teacher [1320] of the Gentiles [1484]. 55 1 12 For [1223] the which [3739] cause [156] I [3958] also [2532] suffer [3958] these things [5023]: nevertheless [235] I am [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870]: for [1063] I know [1492] whom [3739] I have believed [4100], and [2532] am persuaded [3982] that [3754] he is [2076] able [1415] to keep [5442] that which I [3450] have committed unto him [3866] against [1519] that [1565] day [2250]. 55 1 13 Hold fast [2192] the form [5296] of sound [5198] words [3056], which [3739] thou hast heard [191] of [3844] me [1700], in [1722] faith [4102] and [2532] love [26] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 55 1 14 That good thing [2570] which was committed unto thee [3872] keep [5442] by [1223] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] which [3588] dwelleth [1774] in [1722] us [2254]. 55 1 15 This [5124] thou knowest [1492], that [3754] all [3956] they which are in [1722] Asia [773] be turned away from [654] me [3165]; of whom [3739] are [2076] Phygellus [5436] and [2532] Hermogenes [2061]. 55 1 16 The Lord [2962] give [1325] mercy [1656] unto the house [3624] of Onesiphorus [3683]; for [3754] he [404] oft [4178] refreshed [404] me [3165], and [2532] was [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] of my [3450] chain [254]: 55 1 17 But [235], when he was [1096] in [1722] Rome [4516], he sought [2212] me [3165] out [2212] very diligently [4706], and [2532] found [2147] me. 55 1 18 The Lord [2962] grant [1325] unto him [846] that he may find [2147] mercy [1656] of [3844] the Lord [2962] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250]: and [2532] in how many things [3745] he ministered unto me [1247] at [1722] Ephesus [2181], thou [4771] knowest [1097] very well [957]. 55 2 1 Thou [4771] therefore [3767], my [3450] son [5043], be strong [1743] in [1722] the grace [5485] that is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 55 2 2 And [2532] the things [3739] that thou hast heard [191] of [3844] me [1700] among [1223] many [4183] witnesses [3144], the same [5023] commit thou [3908] to faithful [4103] men [444], who [3748] shall be [2071] able [2425] to teach [1321] others [2087] also [2532]. 55 2 3 Thou [4771] therefore [3767] endure hardness [2553], as [5613] a good [2570] soldier [4757] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 55 2 4 No man [3762] that warreth [4754] entangleth himself [1707] with the affairs [4230] of this life [979]; that [2443] he may please [700] him who hath chosen him to be a soldier [4758]. 55 2 5 And [1161] if [1437] a man [5100] also [2532] strive [118] for masteries, yet is he [4737] not [3756] crowned [4737], except [3362] he strive [118] lawfully [3545]. 55 2 6 The husbandman [1092] that laboureth [2872] must be [1163] first [4413] partaker [3335] of the fruits [2590]. 55 2 7 Consider [3539] what [3739] I say [3004]; and [1063] the Lord [2962] give [1325] thee [4671] understanding [4907] in [1722] all things [3956]. 55 2 8 Remember [3421] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138] was raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498] according to [2596] my [3450] gospel [2098]: 55 2 9 Wherein [1722] [3739] I suffer trouble [2553], as [5613] an evil doer [2557], even unto [3360] bonds [1199]; but [235] the word [3056] of God [2316] is [1210] not [3756] bound [1210]. 55 2 10 Therefore [1223] [5124] I endure [5278] all things [3956] for [1588] the elect's [1588] sakes [1223], that [2443] they [846] may [5177] also [2532] obtain [5177] the salvation [4991] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] with [3326] eternal [166] glory [1391]. 55 2 11 It is a faithful [4103] saying [3056]: For [1063] if [1487] we be dead with [4880] him, we shall [4800] also [2532] live with [4800] him: 55 2 12 If [1487] we suffer [5278], we shall [4821] also [2532] reign with [4821] him: if [1487] we deny [720] him, he also [2548] will deny [720] us [2248]: 55 2 13 If [1487] we believe not [569], yet he [1565] abideth [3306] faithful [4103]: he cannot [3756] [1410] deny [720] himself [1438]. 55 2 14 Of these things [5023] put them in remembrance [5279], charging [1263] them before [1799] the Lord [2962] that they strive [3054] not [3361] about words [3054] to [1519] no [3762] profit [5539], but to [1909] the subverting [2692] of the hearers [191]. 55 2 15 Study [4704] to shew [3936] thyself [4572] approved [1384] unto God [2316], a workman [2040] that needeth not to be ashamed [422], rightly dividing [3718] the word [3056] of truth [225]. 55 2 16 But [1161] shun [4026] profane [952] and vain babblings [2757]: for [1063] they will increase [4298] unto [1909] more [4119] ungodliness [763]. 55 2 17 And [2532] their [846] word [3056] will eat [2192] [3542] as [5613] doth a canker [1044]: of whom [3739] is [2076] Hymenaeus [5211] and [2532] Philetus [5372]; 55 2 18 Who [3748] concerning [4012] the truth [225] have erred [795], saying [3004] that the resurrection [386] is past [1096] already [2235]; and [2532] overthrow [396] the faith [4102] of some [5100]. 55 2 19 Nevertheless [3305] the foundation [2310] of God [2316] standeth [2476] sure [4731], having [2192] this [5026] seal [4973], The Lord [2962] knoweth [1097] them that are [5607] his [846]. And [2532], Let [868] every one [3956] that nameth [3687] the name [3686] of Christ [5547] depart [868] from [575] iniquity [93]. 55 2 20 But [1161] in [1722] a great [3173] house [3614] there are [2076] not [3756] only [3440] vessels [4632] of gold [5552] and [2532] of silver [693], but [235] also [2532] of wood [3585] and [2532] of earth [3749]; and [2532] some [3739] [3303] to [1519] honour [5092], and [1161] some [3739] to [1519] dishonour [819]. 55 2 21 If [1437] a man [5100] therefore [3767] purge [1571] himself [1438] from [575] these [5130], he shall be [2071] a vessel [4632] unto [1519] honour [5092], sanctified [37], and [2532] meet [2173] for the master's use [1203], and prepared [2090] unto [1519] every [3956] good [18] work [2041]. 55 2 22 Flee [5343] also [1161] youthful [3512] lusts [1939]: but [1161] follow [1377] righteousness [1343], faith [4102], charity [26], peace [1515], with [3326] them that call on [1941] the Lord [2962] out of [1537] a pure [2513] heart [2588]. 55 2 23 But [1161] foolish [3474] and [2532] unlearned [521] questions [2214] avoid [3868], knowing [1492] that [3754] they do gender [1080] strifes [3163]. 55 2 24 And [1161] the servant [1401] of the Lord [2962] must [1163] not [3756] strive [3164]; but [235] be [1511] gentle [2261] unto [4314] all [3956] men, apt to teach [1317], patient [420], 55 2 25 In [1722] meekness [4236] instructing [3811] those that oppose themselves [475]; if [3379] God [2316] peradventure [3379] will give [1325] them [846] repentance [3341] to [1519] the acknowledging [1922] of the truth [225]; 55 2 26 And [2532] that they may recover themselves [366] out of [1537] the snare [3803] of the devil [1228], who are taken captive [2221] by [5259] him [846] at [1519] his [1565] will [2307]. 55 3 1 This [5124] know [1097] also [1161], that [3754] in [1722] the last [2078] days [2250] perilous [5467] times [2540] shall come [1764]. 55 3 2 For [1063] men [444] shall be [2071] lovers of their own selves [5367], covetous [5366], boasters [213], proud [5244], blasphemers [989], disobedient [545] to parents [1118], unthankful [884], unholy [462], 55 3 3 Without natural affection [794], trucebreakers [786], false accusers [1228], incontinent [193], fierce [434], despisers of those that are good [865], 55 3 4 Traitors [4273], heady [4312], highminded [5187], lovers of pleasures [5369] more [3123] than [2228] lovers of God [5377]; 55 3 5 Having [2192] a form [3446] of godliness [2150], but [1161] denying [720] the power [1411] thereof [846]: from [2532] such [5128] turn away [665]. 55 3 6 For [1063] of [1537] this sort [5130] are they [1526] which creep [1744] into [1519] houses [3614], and [2532] lead captive [162] silly women [1133] laden [4987] with sins [266], led away [71] with divers [4164] lusts [1939], 55 3 7 Ever [3842] learning [3129], and [2532] never [3368] able [1410] to come [2064] to [1519] the knowledge [1922] of the truth [225]. 55 3 8 [3739] Now [1161] as [5158] Jannes [2389] and [2532] Jambres [2387] withstood [436] Moses [3475], so [3779] do [436] these [3778] also [2532] resist [436] the truth [225]: men [444] of corrupt [2704] minds [3563], reprobate [96] concerning [4012] the faith [4102]. 55 3 9 But [235] they shall proceed [4298] no [3756] further [1909] [4119]: for [1063] their [846] folly [454] shall be [2071] manifest [1552] unto all [3956] men, as [5613] theirs [1565] also [2532] was [1096]. 55 3 10 But [1161] thou [4771] hast fully known [3877] my [3450] doctrine [1319], manner of life [72], purpose [4286], faith [4102], longsuffering [3115], charity [26], patience [5281], 55 3 11 Persecutions [1375], afflictions [3804], which [3634] came [1096] unto me [3427] at [1722] Antioch [490], at [1722] Iconium [2430], at [1722] Lystra [3082]; what [3634] persecutions [1375] I endured [5297]: but [2532] out of [1537] them all [3956] the Lord [2962] delivered [4506] me [3165]. 55 3 12 Yea [1161], and [2532] all [3956] that will [2309] live [2198] godly [2153] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] shall suffer persecution [1377]. 55 3 13 But [1161] evil [4190] men [444] and [2532] seducers [1114] shall wax [4298] worse and worse [1909] [5501], deceiving [4105], and [2532] being deceived [4105]. 55 3 14 But [1161] continue [3306] thou [4771] in [1722] the things which [3739] thou hast learned [3129] and [2532] hast been assured of [4104], knowing [1492] of [3844] whom [5101] thou hast learned [3129] them; 55 3 15 And [2532] that [3754] from [575] a child [1025] thou hast known [1492] the holy [2413] scriptures [1121], which [3588] are able [1410] to make [4679] thee [4571] wise [4679] unto [1519] salvation [4991] through [1223] faith [4102] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 55 3 16 All [3956] scripture [1124] is given by inspiration of God [2315], and [2532] is profitable for [4314] doctrine [1319], for [4314] reproof [1650], for [4314] correction [1882], for [4314] instruction [3809] in [1722] righteousness [1343]: 55 3 17 That [2443] the man [444] of God [2316] may be [5600] perfect [739], throughly furnished [1822] unto [4314] all [3956] good [18] works [2041]. 55 4 1 I [1473] charge [1263] thee therefore [3767] before [1799] God [2316], and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] shall [3195] judge [2919] the quick [2198] and [2532] the dead [3498] at [2596] his [846] appearing [2015] and [2532] his [846] kingdom [932]; 55 4 2 Preach [2784] the word [3056]; be instant [2186] in season [2122], out of season [171]; reprove [1651], rebuke [2008], exhort [3870] with [1722] all [3956] longsuffering [3115] and [2532] doctrine [1322]. 55 4 3 For [1063] the time [2540] will come [2071] when [3753] they will [430] not [3756] endure [430] sound [5198] doctrine [1319]; but [235] after [2596] their own [2398] lusts [1939] shall they heap [2002] to themselves [1438] teachers [1320], having itching [2833] ears [189]; 55 4 4 And [2532] they shall turn away [3303] [654] their ears [189] from [575] the truth [225], and [1161] shall be turned [1624] unto [1909] fables [3454]. 55 4 5 But [1161] watch [3525] thou [4771] in [1722] all things [3956], endure afflictions [2553], do [4160] the work [2041] of an evangelist [2099], make full proof [4135] of thy [4675] ministry [1248]. 55 4 6 For [1063] I [1473] am [4689] now [2235] ready to be offered [4689], and [2532] the time [2540] of my [1699] departure [359] is at hand [2186]. 55 4 7 I have fought [75] a good [2570] fight [73], I have finished [5055] my course [1408], I have kept [5083] the faith [4102]: 55 4 8 Henceforth [3063] there is laid up [606] for me [3427] a crown [4735] of righteousness [1343], which [3739] the Lord [2962], the righteous [1342] judge [2923], shall give [591] me [3427] at [1722] that [1565] day [2250]: and [1161] not [3756] to me [1698] only [3440], but [235] unto all them [3956] also [2532] that love [25] his [846] appearing [2015]. 55 4 9 Do thy diligence [4704] to come [2064] shortly [5030] unto [4314] me [3165]: 55 4 10 For [1063] Demas [1214] hath forsaken [1459] me [3165], having loved [25] this present [3568] world [165], and [2532] is departed [4198] unto [1519] Thessalonica [2332]; Crescens [2913] to [1519] Galatia [1053], Titus [5103] unto [1519] Dalmatia [1149]. 55 4 11 Only [3441] Luke [3065] is [2076] with [3326] me [1700].

Amen [281]. 57 1 1 Paul [3972], a prisoner [1198] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] Timothy [5095] our brother [80], unto Philemon [5371] our [2257] dearly beloved [27], and [2532] fellowlabourer [4904], 57 1 2 And [2532] to our beloved [27] Apphia [682], and [2532] Archippus [751] our [2257] fellowsoldier [4961], and [2532] to the church [1577] in [2596] thy [4675] house [3624]: 57 1 3 Grace [5485] to you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] God [2316] our [2257] Father [3962] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 57 1 4 I thank [2168] my [3450] God [2316], making [4160] mention [3417] of thee [4675] always [3842] in [1909] my [3450] prayers [4335], 57 1 5 Hearing [191] of thy [4675] love [26] and [2532] faith [4102], which [3739] thou hast [2192] toward [4314] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] toward [1519] all [3956] saints [40]; 57 1 6 That [3704] the communication [2842] of thy [4675] faith [4102] may become [1096] effectual [1756] by [1722] the acknowledging [1922] of every [3956] good thing [18] which [3588] is in [1722] you [5213] in [1519] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]. 57 1 7 For [1063] we have [2192] great [4183] joy [5485] and [2532] consolation [3874] in [1909] thy [4675] love [26], because [3754] the bowels [4698] of the saints [40] are refreshed [373] by [1223] thee [4675], brother [80]. 57 1 8 Wherefore [1352], though I might be [2192] much [4183] bold [3954] in [1722] Christ [5547] to enjoin [2004] thee [4671] that which is convenient [433], 57 1 9 Yet for [1223] love's [26] sake I [3870] rather [3123] beseech [3870] thee, being [5607] such an one [5108] as [5613] Paul [3972] the aged [4246], and [1161] now [3570] also [2532] a prisoner [1198] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 57 1 10 I beseech [3870] thee [4571] for [4012] my [1699] son [5043] Onesimus [3682], whom [3739] I have begotten [1080] in [1722] my [3450] bonds [1199]: 57 1 11 Which [3588] in time past [4218] was [890] to thee [4671] unprofitable [890], but [1161] now [3570] profitable [2173] to thee [4671] and [2532] to me [1698]: 57 1 12 Whom [3739] I have sent again [375]: thou [4771] therefore [1161] receive [4355] him [846], that is [5123], mine own [1699] bowels [4698]: 57 1 13 Whom [3739] I [1473] would [1014] have retained [2722] with [4314] me [1683], that [2443] in thy [4675] stead [5228] he might have ministered [1247] unto me [3427] in [1722] the bonds [1199] of the gospel [2098]: 57 1 14 But [1161] without [5565] thy [4674] mind [1106] would [2309] I do [4160] nothing [3762]; that [3363] thy [4675] benefit [18] should [5600] not [3363] be [5600] as [5613] it were of [2596] necessity [318], but [235] willingly [1595] [2596]. 57 1 15 For [1063] [1223] perhaps [5029] he [5563] therefore [5124] departed [5563] for [4314] a season [5610], that [2443] thou shouldest receive [568] him [846] for ever [166]; 57 1 16 Not now [3765] as [5613] a servant [1401], but [235] above [5228] a servant [1401], a brother [80] beloved [27], specially [3122] to me [1698], but [1161] how much [4214] more [3123] unto thee [4671], both [2532] in [1722] the flesh [4561], and [2532] in [1722] the Lord [2962]? 57 1 17 If [1487] thou count [2192] me [1691] therefore [3767] a partner [2844], receive [4355] him [846] as [5613] myself [1691]. 57 1 18 If [1161] [1487] he hath wronged [91] thee [4571], or [2228] oweth [3784] thee ought [5100], put [1677] that [5124] on [1677] mine account [1698]; 57 1 19 I [1473] Paul [3972] have written [1125] it with mine own [1699] hand [5495], I [1473] will repay [661] it: albeit [3363] I do [3004] not [3363] say [3004] to thee [4671] how [3754] thou owest [4359] unto me [3427] even [2532] thine own self [4572] besides [4359]. 57 1 20 Yea [3483], brother [80], let [3685] me [1473] have joy [3685] of thee [4675] in [1722] the Lord [2962]: refresh [373] my [3450] bowels [4698] in [1722] the Lord [2962]. 57 1 21 Having confidence [3982] in thy [4675] obedience [5218] I wrote [1125] unto thee [4671], knowing [1492] that [3754] thou wilt [4160] also [2532] do [4160] more than [3739] [5228] I say [3004]. 57 1 22 But [1161] withal [260] prepare [2090] me [3427] also [2532] a lodging [3578]: for [1063] I trust [1679] that [3754] through [1223] your [5216] prayers [4335] I shall be given [5483] unto you [5213]. 57 1 23 There salute [782] thee [4571] Epaphras [1889], my [3450] fellowprisoner [4869] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]; 57 1 24 Marcus [3138], Aristarchus [708], Demas [1214], Lucas [3065], my [3450] fellowlabourers [4904]. 57 1 25 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] your [5216] spirit [4151]. Amen [281]. 58 1 1 God [2316], who at sundry times [4181] and [2532] in divers manners [4187] spake [2980] in time past [3819] unto the fathers [3962] by [1722] the prophets [4396], 58 1 2 Hath [2980] in [1909] these [5130] last [2078] days [2250] spoken [2980] unto us [2254] by [1722] his Son [5207], whom [3739] he hath appointed [5087] heir [2818] of all things [3956], by [1223] whom [3739] also [2532] he made [4160] the worlds [165]; 58 1 3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308]; 58 1 4 Being made [1096] so much [5118] better than [2909] the angels [32], as [3745] he hath by inheritance obtained [2816] a more excellent [1313] name [3686] than [3844] they [846]. 58 1 5 For [1063] unto which [5101] of the angels [32] said he [2036] at any time [4218], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] Son [5207], this day [4594] have [1080] I [1473] begotten [1080] thee [4571]? And [2532] again [3825], I [1473] will be [2071] to [1519] him [846] a Father [3962], and [2532] he [846] shall be [2071] to [1519] me [3427] a Son [5207]? 58 1 6 And [1161] again [3825], when [3752] he bringeth in [1521] the firstbegotten [4416] into [1519] the world [3625], he saith [3004], And [2532] let [4352] all [3956] the angels [32] of God [2316] worship [4352] him [846]. 58 1 7 And [2532] of [4314] [3303] the angels [32] he saith [3004], Who maketh [4160] his [846] angels [32] spirits [4151], and [2532] his [846] ministers [3011] a flame [5395] of fire [4442]. 58 1 8 But [1161] unto [4314] the Son [5207] he saith, Thy [4675] throne [2362], O God [2316], is for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]: a sceptre [4464] of righteousness [2118] is the sceptre [4464] of thy [4675] kingdom [932]. 58 1 9 Thou hast loved [25] righteousness [1343], and [2532] hated [3404] iniquity [458]; therefore [1223] [5124] God [2316], even thy [4675] God [2316], hath anointed [5548] thee [4571] with the oil [1637] of gladness [20] above [3844] thy [4675] fellows [3353]. 58 1 10 And [2532], Thou [4771], Lord [2962], in [2596] the beginning [746] hast laid the foundation [2311] of the earth [1093]; and [2532] the heavens [3772] are [1526] the works [2041] of thine [4675] hands [5495]: 58 1 11 They [846] shall perish [622]; but [1161] thou [4771] remainest [1265]; and [2532] they all [3956] shall wax old [3822] as [5613] doth a garment [2440]; 58 1 12 And [2532] as [5616] a vesture [4018] shalt thou fold [1667] them [846] up [1667], and [2532] they shall be changed [236]: but [1161] thou [4771] art [1488] the same [846], and [2532] thy [4675] years [2094] shall [1587] not [3756] fail [1587]. 58 1 13 But [1161] to [4314] which [5101] of the angels [32] said he [2046] at any time [4218], Sit [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], until [302] [2193] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]? 58 1 14 Are they [1526] not [3780] all [3956] ministering [3010] spirits [4151], sent forth [649] to [1519] minister [1248] for [1223] them who shall [3195] be heirs of [2816] salvation [4991]? 58 2 1 Therefore [1223] [5124] we [2248] ought [1163] to give the more earnest [4056] heed [4337] to the things which we have heard [191], lest at any time [3379] we should let them slip [3901]. 58 2 2 For [1063] if [1487] the word [3056] spoken [2980] by [1223] angels [32] was [1096] stedfast [949], and [2532] every [3956] transgression [3847] and [2532] disobedience [3876] received [2983] a just [1738] recompence of reward [3405]; 58 2 3 How [4459] shall we [2249] escape [1628], if we neglect [272] so great [5082] salvation [4991]; which [3748] at the first [746] began [2983] to be spoken [2980] by [1223] the Lord [2962], and was confirmed [950] unto [1519] us [2248] by [5259] them that heard [191] him; 58 2 4 God [2316] also bearing them witness [4901], both [5037] with signs [4592] and [2532] wonders [5059], and [2532] with divers [4164] miracles [1411], and [2532] gifts [3311] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], according to [2596] his own [846] will [2308]? 58 2 5 For [1063] unto the angels [32] hath he [5293] not [3756] put in subjection [5293] the world [3625] to come [3195], whereof [4012] [3739] we speak [2980]. 58 2 6 But [1161] one [5100] in a certain place [4225] testified [1263], saying [3004], What [5101] is [2076] man [444], that [3754] thou art mindful [3403] of him [846]? or [2228] the son [5207] of man [444], that [3754] thou visitest [1980] him [846]? 58 2 7 Thou madest [1642] him [846] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32]; thou crownedst [4737] him [846] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] didst set [2525] him [846] over [1909] the works [2041] of thy [4675] hands [5495]: 58 2 8 Thou hast put [5293] all things [3956] in subjection [5293] under [5270] his [846] feet [4228]. For [1063] in [1722] that he put [5293] all [3956] in subjection under [5293] him [846], he left [863] nothing that is not [3762] put under [506] him [846]. But [1161] now [3568] we see [3708] not yet [3768] all things [3956] put under [5293] him [846]. 58 2 9 But [1161] we see [991] Jesus [2424], who [3588] was made [1642] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32] for [1223] the suffering [3804] of death [2288], crowned [4737] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092]; that [3704] he [1089] by the grace [5485] of God [2316] should taste [1089] death [2288] for [5228] every man [3956]. 58 2 10 For [1063] it became [4241] him [846], for [1223] whom [3739] are all things [3956], and [2532] by [1223] whom [3739] are all things [3956], in bringing [71] many [4183] sons [5207] unto [1519] glory [1391], to make [5048] the captain [747] of their [846] salvation [4991] perfect [5048] through [1223] sufferings [3804]. 58 2 11 For [1063] both [5037] he that sanctifieth [37] and [2532] they who are sanctified [37] are all [3956] of [1537] one [1520]: for [1223] which [3739] cause [156] he is [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] to call [2564] them [846] brethren [80], 58 2 12 Saying [3004], I will declare [518] thy [4675] name [3686] unto my [3450] brethren [80], in [1722] the midst [3319] of the church [1577] will I sing praise [5214] unto thee [4571]. 58 2 13 And [2532] again [3825], I [1473] will [2071] put my trust [3982] in [1909] him [846]. And [2532] again [3825], Behold [2400] I [1473] and [2532] the children [3813] which [3739] God [2316] hath given [1325] me [3427]. 58 2 14 Forasmuch [1893] then [3767] as the children [3813] are partakers [2841] of flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129], he [3348] also [2532] himself [846] likewise [3898] took part [3348] of the same [846]; that [2443] through [1223] death [2288] he might destroy [2673] him that had [2192] the power [2904] of death [2288], that is [5123], the devil [1228]; 58 2 15 And [2532] deliver [525] them [5128] who [3745] through [1223] fear [5401] of death [2288] were [2258] all [3956] their lifetime [2198] subject [1777] to bondage [1397]. 58 2 16 For [1063] verily [1222] he took [1949] not [3756] on [1949] him the nature of angels [32]; but [235] he took on [1949] him the seed [4690] of Abraham [11]. 58 2 17 Wherefore [3606] in [2596] all things [3956] it behoved him [3784] to be made like [3666] unto his brethren [80], that [2443] he might be [1096] a merciful [1655] and [2532] faithful [4103] high priest [749] in things pertaining to [4314] God [2316], to [1519] make reconciliation for [2433] the sins [266] of the people [2992]. 58 2 18 For [1063] in [1722] that [3739] he [3958] himself [846] hath suffered [3958] being tempted [3985], he is able [1410] to succour [997] them that are tempted [3985]. 58 3 1 Wherefore [3606], holy [40] brethren [80], partakers [3353] of the heavenly [2032] calling [2821], consider [2657] the Apostle [652] and [2532] High Priest [749] of our [2257] profession [3671], Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]; 58 3 2 Who was [5607] faithful [4103] to him that appointed [4160] him [846], as [5613] also [2532] Moses [3475] was faithful in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624]. 58 3 3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846]. 58 3 4 For [1063] every [3956] house [3624] is builded [2680] by [5259] some [5100] man; but [1161] he that built [2680] all things [3956] is God [2316]. 58 3 5 And [2532] Moses [3475] verily [3303] was faithful [4103] in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624], as [5613] a servant [2324], for [1519] a testimony [3142] of those things which were to be spoken after [2980]; 58 3 6 But [1161] Christ [5547] as [5613] a son [5207] over [1909] his own [846] house [3624]; whose [3739] house [3624] are [2070] we [2249], if [1437] [4007] we hold fast [2722] the confidence [3954] and [2532] the rejoicing [2745] of the hope [1680] firm [949] unto [3360] the end [5056]. 58 3 7 Wherefore [1352] (as [2531] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] saith [3004], To day [4594] if [1437] ye will hear [191] his [846] voice [5456], 58 3 8 Harden [4645] not [3361] your [5216] hearts [2588], as [5613] in [1722] the provocation [3894], in [2596] the day [2250] of temptation [3986] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]: 58 3 9 When [3757] your [5216] fathers [3962] tempted [3985] me [3165], proved [1381] me [3165], and [2532] saw [1492] my [3450] works [2041] forty [5062] years [2094]. 58 3 10 Wherefore [1352] I was grieved [4360] with that [1565] generation [1074], and [2532] said [2036], They do [4105] alway [104] err [4105] in their heart [2588]; and [1161] they [846] have [1097] not [3756] known [1097] my [3450] ways [3598]. 58 3 11 So [5613] I sware [3660] in [1722] my [3450] wrath [3709], They shall [1525] not [1487] enter [1525] into [1519] my [3450] rest [2663].) 58 3 12 Take heed [991], brethren [80], lest [3379] there be [2071] in [1722] any [5100] of you [5216] an evil [4190] heart [2588] of unbelief [570], in [1722] departing [868] from [575] the living [2198] God [2316]. 58 3 13 But [235] exhort [3870] one another [1438] daily [2596] [1538] [2250], while [891] [3739] it is called [2564] To day [4594]; lest [3363] any [5100] of [1537] you [5216] be hardened [4645] through the deceitfulness [539] of sin [266]. 58 3 14 For [1063] we are made [1096] partakers [3353] of Christ [5547], if [1437] [4007] we hold [2722] the beginning [746] of our confidence [5287] stedfast [949] unto [3360] the end [5056]; 58 3 15 While [1722] it is said [3004], To day [4594] if [1437] ye will hear [191] his [846] voice [5456], harden [4645] not [3361] your [5216] hearts [2588], as [5613] in [1722] the provocation [3894]. 58 3 16 For [1063] some [5100], when they had heard [191], did provoke [3893]: howbeit [235] not [3756] all [3956] that came [1831] out of [1537] Egypt [125] by [1223] Moses [3475]. 58 3 17 But [1161] with whom [5101] was he grieved [4360] forty [5062] years [2094]? was it not [3780] with them that had sinned [264], whose [3739] carcases [2966] fell [4098] in [1722] the wilderness [2048]? 58 3 18 And [1161] to whom [5101] sware he [3660] that they should [1525] not [3361] enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] rest [2663], but [1508] to them that believed not [544]? 58 3 19 So [2532] we see [991] that [3754] they could [1410] not [3756] enter in [1525] because [1223] of unbelief [570]. 58 4 1 Let us [5399] therefore [3767] fear [5399], lest [3379], a promise [1860] being left [2641] us of entering [1525] into [1519] his [846] rest [2663], any [5100] of [1537] you [5216] should seem [1380] to come short of it [5302]. 58 4 2 For [2532] [1063] unto us was [2070] the gospel preached [2097], as well as [2509] unto them [2548]: but [235] the word [3056] preached [189] did [5623] not [3756] profit [5623] them [1565], not [3361] being mixed [4786] with faith [4102] in them that heard [191] it. 58 4 3 For [1063] we which [3588] have believed [4100] do enter [1525] into [1519] rest [2663], as [2531] he said [2046], As [5613] I have sworn [3660] in [1722] my [3450] wrath [3709], if [1487] they shall enter [1525] into [1519] my [3450] rest [2663]: although [2543] the works [2041] were finished [1096] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]. 58 4 4 For [1063] he spake [2046] in a certain place [4225] of [4012] the seventh [1442] day on this wise [3779], And [2532] God [2316] did rest [2664] the seventh [1722] [1442] day [2250] from [575] all [3956] his [846] works [2041]. 58 4 5 And [2532] in [1722] this [5129] place again [3825], If [1487] they shall enter [1525] into [1519] my [3450] rest [2663]. 58 4 6 Seeing [1893] therefore [3767] it remaineth [620] that some [5100] must enter [1525] therein [1519] [846], and [2532] they to whom it was first [4386] preached [2097] entered [1525] not [3756] in [1525] because [1223] of unbelief [543]: 58 4 7 Again [3825], he limiteth [3724] a certain [5100] day [2250], saying [3004] in [1722] David [1138], To day [4594], after [3326] so long [5118] a time [5550]; as [2531] it is said [2046], To day [4594] if [1437] ye will hear [191] his [846] voice [5456], harden [4645] not [3361] your [5216] hearts [2588]. 58 4 8 For [1063] if [1487] Jesus [2424] had given [2664] them [846] rest [2664], then would he [302] not [3756] afterward [3326] [5023] have spoken [2980] of [4012] another [243] day [2250]. 58 4 9 There remaineth [620] therefore [686] a rest [4520] to the people [2992] of God [2316]. 58 4 10 For [1063] he that is entered [1525] into [1519] his [846] rest [2663], he [846] also [2532] hath ceased [2664] from [575] his own [846] works [2041], as [5618] God [2316] did from [575] his [2398]. 58 4 11 Let us labour [4704] therefore [3767] to enter [1525] into [1519] that [1565] rest [2663], lest [3363] any man [5100] fall [4098] after [1722] the same [846] example [5262] of unbelief [543]. 58 4 12 For [1063] the word [3056] of God [2316] is quick [2198], and [2532] powerful [1756], and [2532] sharper [5114] than [5228] any [3956] twoedged [1366] sword [3162], piercing [1338] even to [891] the dividing asunder [3311] of soul [5590] and [5037] [2532] spirit [4151], and [5037] [2532] of the joints [719] and [2532] marrow [3452], and [2532] is a discerner [2924] of the thoughts [1761] and [2532] intents [1771] of the heart [2588]. 58 4 13 Neither [2532] [3756] is there [2076] any creature [2937] that is not manifest [852] in his [846] sight [1799]: but [1161] all things [3956] are naked [1131] and [2532] opened [5136] unto the eyes [3788] of him [846] with [4314] whom [3739] we have [2254] to do [3056]. 58 4 14 Seeing [2192] then [3767] that we have [2192] a great [3173] high priest [749], that is passed into [1330] the heavens [3772], Jesus [2424] the Son [5207] of God [2316], let us hold fast [2902] our profession [3671]. 58 4 15 For [1063] we have [2192] not [3756] an high priest [749] which cannot [3361] [1410] be touched with the feeling [4834] of our [2257] infirmities [769]; but [1161] was [3985] in [2596] all points [3956] tempted [3985] [3987] like [2596] as [3665] we are, yet without [5565] sin [266]. 58 4 16 Let us [4334] therefore [3767] come [4334] boldly [3326] [3954] unto the throne [2362] of grace [5485], that [2443] we may obtain [2983] mercy [1656], and [2532] find [2147] grace [5485] to help [996] in [1519] time of need [2121]. 58 5 1 For [1063] every [3956] high priest [749] taken [2983] from among [1537] men [444] is ordained [2525] for [5228] men [444] in things pertaining to [4314] God [2316], that [2443] he may offer [4374] both [5037] gifts [1435] and [2532] sacrifices [2378] for [5228] sins [266]: 58 5 2 Who can [1410] have compassion [3356] on the ignorant [50], and [2532] on them that are out of the way [4105]; for [1893] that he [4029] himself [846] also [2532] is compassed [4029] with infirmity [769]. 58 5 3 And [2532] by reason [1223] hereof [5026] he ought [3784], as [2531] for [4012] the people [2992], so [3779] also [2532] for [4012] himself [1438], to offer [4374] for [5228] sins [266]. 58 5 4 And [2532] no [3756] man [5100] taketh [2983] this honour [5092] unto himself [1438], but [235] he that is called [2564] of [5259] God [2316], as [2509] [2532] was Aaron [2]. 58 5 5 So [3779] also [2532] Christ [5547] glorified [1392] not [3756] himself [1438] to be made [1096] an high priest [749]; but [235] he that said [2980] unto [4314] him [846], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] Son [5207], to day [4594] have [1080] I [1473] begotten [1080] thee [4571]. 58 5 6 As [2531] he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] another [2087] place, Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]. 58 5 7 Who [3739] in [1722] the days [2250] of his [846] flesh [4561], when he had offered up [4374] prayers [1162] and [5037] [2532] supplications [2428] with [3326] strong [2478] crying [2906] and [2532] tears [1144] unto [4314] him that was able [1410] to save [4982] him [846] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] was heard [1522] in that [575] he feared [2124]; 58 5 8 Though [2539] he were [5607] a Son [5207], yet learned he [3129] obedience [5218] by [575] the things which [3739] he suffered [3958]; 58 5 9 And [2532] being made perfect [5048], he became [1096] the author [159] of eternal [166] salvation [4991] unto all [3956] them that obey [5219] him [846]; 58 5 10 Called [4316] of [5259] God [2316] an high priest [749] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]. 58 5 11 Of [4012] whom [3739] we [2254] have [3056] many things [4183] to say [3056], and [2532] hard [1421] to be uttered [3004], seeing [1893] ye are [1096] dull [3576] of hearing [189]. 58 5 12 For [2532] [1063] when for [1223] the time [5550] ye ought [3784] to be [1511] teachers [1320], ye have [2192] need [5532] that one teach [1321] you [5209] again [3825] which [5101] be the first [746] principles [4747] of the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; and [2532] are become such as [1096] have [2192] need [5532] of milk [1051], and [2532] not [3756] of strong [4731] meat [5160]. 58 5 13 For [1063] every one [3956] that useth [3348] milk [1051] is unskilful [552] in the word [3056] of righteousness [1343]: for [1063] he is [2076] a babe [3516]. 58 5 14 But [1161] strong [4731] meat [5160] belongeth to them that are [2076] of full age [5046], even those who by reason [1223] of use [1838] have [2192] their senses [145] exercised [1128] to [4314] discern [1253] both [5037] good [2570] and [2532] evil [2556]. 58 6 1 Therefore [1352] leaving [863] the principles [746] of the doctrine [3056] of Christ [5547], let us go on [5342] unto [1909] perfection [5047]; not [3361] laying [2598] again [3825] the foundation [2310] of repentance [3341] from [575] dead [3498] works [2041], and [2532] of faith [4102] toward [1909] God [2316], 58 6 2 Of the doctrine [1322] of baptisms [909], and [5037] of laying on [1936] of hands [5495], and [5037] of resurrection [386] of the dead [3498], and [2532] of eternal [166] judgment [2917]. 58 6 3 And [2532] this [5124] will we do [4160], if [1437] [4007] God [2316] permit [2010]. 58 6 4 For [1063] it is impossible [102] for those who were once [530] enlightened [5461], and [5037] have tasted [1089] of the heavenly [2032] gift [1431], and [2532] were made [1096] partakers [3353] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], 58 6 5 And [2532] have tasted [1089] the good [2570] word [4487] of God [2316], and [5037] the powers [1411] of the world [165] to come [3195], 58 6 6 If [2532] they shall fall away [3895], to renew them [340] again [3825] unto [1519] repentance [3341]; seeing they crucify [388] to themselves [1438] the Son [5207] of God [2316] afresh [388], and [2532] put him to an open shame [3856]. 58 6 7 For [1063] the earth [1093] which [3588] drinketh in [4095] the rain [5205] that cometh [2064] oft [4178] upon [1909] it [846], and [2532] bringeth forth [5088] herbs [1008] meet [2111] for them [1565] [2532] by [1223] whom [3739] it is dressed [1090], receiveth [3335] blessing [2129] from [575] God [2316]: 58 6 8 But [1161] that which beareth [1627] thorns [173] and [2532] briers [5146] is rejected [96], and [2532] is nigh [1451] unto cursing [2671]; whose [3739] end [5056] is to [1519] be burned [2740]. 58 6 9 But [1161], beloved [27], we are persuaded [3982] better things [2909] of [4012] you [5216], and [2532] things that accompany [2192] salvation [4991], though [1499] we [2980] thus [3779] speak [2980]. 58 6 10 For [1063] God [2316] is not [3756] unrighteous [94] to forget [1950] your [5216] work [2041] and [2532] labour [2873] of love [26], which [3739] ye have shewed [1731] [1731] toward [1519] his [846] name [3686], in that ye have ministered [1247] to the saints [40], and [2532] do minister [1247]. 58 6 11 And [1161] we desire [1937] that every one [1538] of you [5216] do shew [1731] the same [846] diligence [4710] to [4314] the full assurance [4136] of hope [1680] unto [891] the end [5056]: 58 6 12 That [3363] ye be [1096] not [3363] slothful [3576], but [1161] followers [3402] of them who through [1223] faith [4102] and [2532] patience [3115] inherit [2816] the promises [1860]. 58 6 13 For [1063] when God [2316] made promise [1861] to Abraham [11], because [1893] he could [2192] swear [3660] by [2596] no [3762] greater [3187], he sware [3660] by [2596] himself [1438], 58 6 14 Saying [3004], Surely [2229] [3375] blessing [2127] I will bless [2127] thee [4571], and [2532] multiplying [4129] I will multiply [4129] thee [4571]. 58 6 15 And [2532] so [3779], after he had patiently endured [3114], he obtained [2013] the promise [1860]. 58 6 16 For [1063] men [444] verily [3303] swear [3660] by [2596] the greater [3187]: and [2532] an oath [3727] for [1519] confirmation [951] is to them [846] an end [4009] of all [3956] strife [485]. 58 6 17 Wherein [1722] [3739] God [2316], willing [1014] more abundantly [4054] to shew [1925] unto the heirs [2818] of promise [1860] the immutability [276] of his [846] counsel [1012], confirmed [3315] it by an oath [3727]: 58 6 18 That [2443] by [1223] two [1417] immutable [276] things [4229], in [1722] which [3739] it was impossible [102] for God [2316] to lie [5574], we might have [2192] a strong [2478] consolation [3874], who [3588] have fled for refuge [2703] to lay hold [2902] upon the hope [1680] set before us [4295]: 58 6 19 Which [3739] hope we have [2192] as [5613] an anchor [45] of the soul [5590], both [5037] sure [804] and [2532] stedfast [949], and [2532] which entereth [1525] into [1519] that within [2082] the veil [2665]; 58 6 20 Whither [3699] the forerunner [4274] is [1525] for [5228] us [2257] entered [1525], even Jesus [2424], made [1096] an high priest [749] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]. 58 7 1 For [1063] this [3778] Melchisedec [3198], king [935] of Salem [4532], priest [2409] of the most high [5310] God [2316], who [3588] met [4876] Abraham [11] returning [5290] from [575] the slaughter [2871] of the kings [935], and [2532] blessed [2127] him [846]; 58 7 2 To whom [3739] also [2532] Abraham [11] gave [3307] a tenth part [1181] of [575] all [3956]; first [4412] [3303] being by interpretation [2059] King [935] of righteousness [1343], and [1161] after that [1899] also [2532] King [935] of Salem [4532], which is [3603], King [935] of peace [1515]; 58 7 3 Without father [540], without mother [282], without descent [35], having [2192] neither [3383] beginning [746] of days [2250], nor [3383] end [5056] of life [2222]; but [1161] made like [871] unto the Son [5207] of God [2316]; abideth [3306] a priest [2409] continually [1519] [1336]. 58 7 4 Now [1161] consider [2334] how great [4080] this man [3778] was, unto whom [3739] even [2532] the patriarch [3966] Abraham [11] gave [1325] the tenth [1181] of [1537] the spoils [205]. 58 7 5 And [2532] verily [3303] they that are of [1537] the sons [5207] of Levi [3017], who [3588] receive [2983] the office of the priesthood [2405], have [2192] a commandment [1785] to take tithes [586] of the people [2992] according to [2596] the law [3551], that is [5123], of their [846] brethren [80], though [2539] they come [1831] out of [1537] the loins [3751] of Abraham [11]: 58 7 6 But [1161] he whose descent is [1075] not [3361] counted [1075] from [1537] them [846] received tithes [1183] of Abraham [11], and [2532] blessed [2127] him that had [2192] the promises [1860]. 58 7 7 And [1161] without [5565] all [3956] contradiction [485] the less [1640] is blessed [2127] of [5259] the better [2909]. 58 7 8 And [2532] here [5602] [3303] men [444] that die [599] receive [2983] tithes [1181]; but [1161] there [1563] he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed [3140] that [3754] he liveth [2198]. 58 7 9 And [2532] as [5613] I may so say [2031] [2036], Levi [3017] also [2532], who [3588] receiveth [2983] tithes [1181], payed tithes [1183] in [1223] Abraham [11]. 58 7 10 For [1063] he was [2258] yet [2089] in [1722] the loins [3751] of his father [3962], when [3753] Melchisedec [3198] met [4876] him [846]. 58 7 11 If [1487] [3303] therefore [3767] perfection [5050] were [2258] by [1223] the Levitical [3020] priesthood [2420], (for [1063] under [1909] it [846] the people [2992] received the law [3549] what [5101] further [2089] need [5532] was there that another [2087] priest [2409] should rise [450] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198], and [2532] not [3756] be called [3004] after [2596] the order [5010] of Aaron [2]? 58 7 12 For [1063] the priesthood [2420] being changed [3346], there is made [1096] of [1537] necessity [318] a change [3331] also [2532] of the law [3551]. 58 7 13 For [1063] he of [1909] whom [3739] these things [5023] are spoken [3004] pertaineth [3348] to another [2087] tribe [5443], of [575] which [3739] no man [3762] gave attendance [4337] at the altar [2379]. 58 7 14 For [1063] it is evident [4271] that [3754] our [2257] Lord [2962] sprang [393] out of [1537] Juda [2455]; of [1519] which [3739] tribe [5443] Moses [3475] spake [2980] nothing [3762] concerning [4012] priesthood [2420]. 58 7 15 And [2532] it is [2076] yet [2089] far more [4054] evident [2612]: for [1487] that after [2596] the similitude [3665] of Melchisedec [3198] there ariseth [450] another [2087] priest [2409], 58 7 16 Who [3739] is made [1096], not [3756] after [2596] the law [3551] of a carnal [4559] commandment [1785], but [235] after [2596] the power [1411] of an endless [179] life [2222]. 58 7 17 For [1063] he testifieth [3140], [3754] Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]. 58 7 18 For [1063] there is [1096] verily [3303] a disannulling [115] of the commandment [1785] going before [4254] for [1223] the weakness [772] and [2532] unprofitableness [512] thereof [846]. 58 7 19 For [1063] the law [3551] made [5048] nothing [3762] perfect [5048], but [1161] the bringing in [1898] of a better [2909] hope [1680] did; by [1223] the which [3739] we draw nigh [1448] unto God [2316]. 58 7 20 And [2532] inasmuch as [2596] [3745] not [3756] without [5565] an oath [3728] he was made priest: 58 7 21 (For [1063] those priests [2409] were [3303] [1526] made [1096] without [5565] an oath [3728]; but [1161] this with [3326] an oath [3728] by [1223] him that said [3004] unto [4314] him [846], The Lord [2962] sware [3660] and [2532] will [3338] not [3756] repent [3338], Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]:) 58 7 22 By [2596] so much [5118] was [1096] Jesus [2424] made [1096] a surety [1450] of a better [2909] testament [1242]. 58 7 23 And [2532] they [1526] truly [3303] were [1526] [1096] many [4119] priests [2409], because they were not suffered [2967] to continue [3887] by reason of [1223] death [2288]: 58 7 24 But [1161] this man, because [1223] he [846] continueth [3306] ever [1519] [165], hath [2192] an unchangeable [531] priesthood [2420]. 58 7 25 Wherefore [3606] he is able [1410] also [2532] to save them [4982] to [1519] the uttermost [3838] that come [4334] unto God [2316] by [1223] him [846], seeing he ever [3842] liveth [2198] to [1519] make intercession [1793] for [5228] them [846]. 58 7 26 For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [749] became [4241] us [2254], who is holy [3741], harmless [172], undefiled [283], separate [5563] from [575] sinners [268], and [2532] made [1096] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772]; 58 7 27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438]. 58 7 28 For [1063] the law [3551] maketh [2525] men [444] high priests [749] which have [2192] infirmity [769]; but [1161] the word [3056] of the oath [3728], which [3588] was since [3326] the law [3551], maketh the Son [5207], who is consecrated [5048] for [1519] evermore [165]. 58 8 1 Now [1161] of [1909] the things which we have spoken [3004] this is the sum [2774]: We have [2192] such [5108] an high priest [749], who [3739] is set [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the throne [2362] of the Majesty [3172] in [1722] the heavens [3772]; 58 8 2 A minister [3011] of the sanctuary [39], and [2532] of the true [228] tabernacle [4633], which [3739] the Lord [2962] pitched [4078], and [2532] not [3756] man [444]. 58 8 3 For [1063] every [3956] high priest [749] is ordained [2525] to [1519] offer [4374] gifts [1435] and [5037] [2532] sacrifices [2378]: wherefore [3606] it is of necessity [316] that this man [5126] have [2192] somewhat [5100] also [2532] to [3739] offer [4374]. 58 8 4 For [1063] if [1487] [3303] he were [2258] on [1909] earth [1093], he should [302] not [3761] be [2258] a priest [2409], seeing that there are [5607] priests [2409] that offer [4374] gifts [1435] according [2596] to the law [3551]: 58 8 5 Who [3748] serve [3000] unto the example [5262] and [2532] shadow [4639] of heavenly things [2032], as [2531] Moses [3475] was admonished of God [5537] when he was about [3195] to make [2005] the tabernacle [4633]: for [1063], See [3708], saith he [5346], that thou make [4160] all things [3956] according to [2596] the pattern [5179] shewed [1166] to thee [4671] in [1722] the mount [3735]. 58 8 6 But [1161] now [3570] hath he obtained [5177] a more excellent [1313] ministry [3009], by how much [3745] also [2532] he is [2076] the mediator [3316] of a better [2909] covenant [1242], which [3748] was established [3549] upon [1909] better [2909] promises [1860]. 58 8 7 For [1063] if [1487] that [1565] first [4413] covenant had been [2258] faultless [273], then should [302] no [3756] place [5117] have been sought [2212] for the second [1208]. 58 8 8 For [1063] finding fault [3201] with them [846], he saith [3004], Behold [2400], the days [2250] come [2064], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], when [2532] I will make [4931] a new [2537] covenant [1242] with [1909] the house [3624] of Israel [2474] and [2532] with [1909] the house [3624] of Judah [2455]: 58 8 9 Not [3756] according to [2596] the covenant [1242] that [3739] I made with [4160] their [846] fathers [3962] in [1722] the day [2250] when I took [1949] them [846] by the hand [3450] [5495] to lead [1806] them [846] out of [1537] the land [1093] of Egypt [125]; because [3754] they [846] continued [1696] not [3756] in [1722] my [3450] covenant [1242], and I [2504] regarded [272] them [846] not [272], saith [3004] the Lord [2962]. 58 8 10 For [3754] this [3778] is the covenant [1242] that [3739] I will make [1303] with the house [3624] of Israel [2474] after [3326] those [1565] days [2250], saith [3004] the Lord [2962]; I will put [1325] my [3450] laws [3551] into [1519] their [846] mind [1271], and [2532] write [1924] them [846] in [1909] their [846] hearts [2588]: and [2532] I will be [2071] to [1519] them [846] a God [2316], and [2532] they [846] shall be [2071] to [1519] me [3427] a people [2992]: 58 8 11 And [2532] they shall [1321] not [3364] teach [1321] every man [1538] his [846] neighbour [4139], and [2532] every man [1538] his [846] brother [80], saying [3004], Know [1097] the Lord [2962]: for [3754] all [3956] shall know [1492] me [3165], from [575] the least [3398] [846] to [2193] the greatest [3173] [846]. 58 8 12 For [3754] I will be [2071] merciful [2436] to their [846] unrighteousness [93], and [2532] their [846] sins [266] and [2532] their [846] iniquities [458] will I remember [3415] no [3364] more [2089]. 58 8 13 In [1722] that he saith [3004], A new [2537] covenant, he hath made [3822] the first [4413] old [3822]. Now [1161] that which decayeth [3822] and [2532] waxeth old [1095] is ready [1451] to vanish away [854]. 58 9 1 Then [3767] verily [3303] the first [4413] covenant had [2192] also [2532] ordinances [1345] of divine service [2999], and [5037] a worldly [2886] sanctuary [39]. 58 9 2 For [1063] there was [2680] a tabernacle [4633] made [2680]; the first [4413], wherein [1722] [3739] [5037] was the candlestick [3087], and [2532] the table [5132], and [2532] the shewbread [4286] [740]; which [3748] is called [3004] the sanctuary [39]. 58 9 3 And [1161] after [3326] the second [1208] veil [2665], the tabernacle [4633] which [3588] is called [3004] the Holiest of all [39] [39]; 58 9 4 Which had [2192] the golden [5552] censer [2369], and [2532] the ark [2787] of the covenant [1242] overlaid [4028] round about [3840] with gold [5553], wherein [1722] [3739] was the golden [5552] pot [4713] that had [2192] manna [3131], and [2532] Aaron's [2] rod [4464] that budded [985], and [2532] the tables [4109] of the covenant [1242]; 58 9 5 And [1161] over [5231] it [846] the cherubims [5502] of glory [1391] shadowing [2683] the mercyseat [2435]; of [4012] which [3739] we cannot [3756] [2076] now [3568] speak [3004] particularly [2596] [3313]. 58 9 6 Now [1161] when these things [5130] were [2680] thus [3779] ordained [2680], the priests [2409] went [1524] always [1275] into [1519] [3303] the first [4413] tabernacle [4633], accomplishing [2005] the service [2999] of God. 58 9 7 But [1161] into [1519] the second [1208] went the high priest [749] alone [3441] once [530] every year [1763], not [3756] without [5565] blood [129], which [3739] he offered [4374] for [5228] himself [1438], and [2532] for the errors [51] of the people [2992]: 58 9 8 The Holy [40] Ghost [4151] this [5124] signifying [1213], that the way [3598] into the holiest of all [39] was [5319] not yet [3380] made manifest [5319], while as the first [4413] tabernacle [4633] was [2192] yet [2089] standing [4714]: 58 9 9 Which [3748] was a figure [3850] for [1519] the time [2540] then present [1764], in [2596] which [3739] were offered [4374] both [5037] gifts [1435] and [2532] sacrifices [2378], that could [1410] not [3361] make [5048] him that did the service [3000] perfect [5048], as pertaining to [2596] the conscience [4893]; 58 9 10 Which stood only [3440] in [1909] meats [1033] and [2532] drinks [4188], and [2532] divers [1313] washings [909], and [2532] carnal [4561] ordinances [1345], imposed [1945] on them until [3360] the time [2540] of reformation [1357]. 58 9 11 But [1161] Christ [5547] being come [3854] an high priest [749] of good things [18] to come [3195], by [1223] a greater [3187] and [2532] more perfect [5046] tabernacle [4633], not [3756] made with hands [5499], that is to say [5123], not [3756] of this [5026] building [2937]; 58 9 12 Neither [3761] by [1223] the blood [129] of goats [5131] and [2532] calves [3448], but [1161] by [1223] his own [2398] blood [129] he entered in [1525] once [2178] into [1519] the holy place [39], having obtained [2147] eternal [166] redemption [3085] for us. 58 9 13 For [1063] if [1487] the blood [129] of bulls [5022] and [2532] of goats [5131], and [2532] the ashes [4700] of an heifer [1151] sprinkling [4472] the unclean [2840], sanctifieth [37] to [4314] the purifying [2514] of the flesh [4561]: 58 9 14 How much [4214] more [3123] shall [2511] the blood [129] of Christ [5547], who [3739] through [1223] the eternal [166] Spirit [4151] offered [4374] himself [1438] without spot [299] to God [2316], purge [2511] your [5216] conscience [4893] from [575] dead [3498] works [2041] to [1519] serve [3000] the living [2198] God [2316]? 58 9 15 And [2532] for this [5124] cause [1223] he is [2076] the mediator [3316] of the new [2537] testament [1242], that [3704] by means [1096] of death [2288], for [1519] the redemption [629] of the transgressions [3847] that were under [1909] the first [4413] testament [1242], they which are called [2564] might receive [2983] the promise [1860] of eternal [166] inheritance [2817]. 58 9 16 For [1063] where [3699] a testament [1242] is, there must also of necessity [318] be [5342] the death [2288] of the testator [1303]. 58 9 17 For [1063] a testament [1242] is of force [949] after [1909] men are dead [3498]: otherwise [1893] it is of [2480] no [3379] strength [2480] at all [3379] while [3753] the testator [1303] liveth [2198]. 58 9 18 Whereupon [3606] neither [3761] the first [4413] testament was dedicated [1457] without [5565] blood [129]. 58 9 19 For [1063] when [5259] Moses [3475] had spoken [2980] every [3956] precept [1785] to all [3956] the people [2992] according [2596] to the law [3551], he took [2983] the blood [129] of calves [3448] and [2532] of goats [5131], with [3326] water [5204], and [2532] scarlet [2847] wool [2053], and [2532] hyssop [5301], and sprinkled [4472] both [5037] the book [975] [846], and [2532] all [3956] the people [2992], 58 9 20 Saying [3004], This [5124] is the blood [129] of the testament [1242] which [3739] God [2316] hath enjoined [1781] unto [4314] you [5209]. 58 9 21 Moreover [1161] [3668] he sprinkled [4472] with blood [129] both [2532] the tabernacle [4633], and [2532] all [3956] the vessels [4632] of the ministry [3009]. 58 9 22 And [2532] almost [4975] all things [3956] are [2511] by [2596] the law [3551] purged [2511] with [1722] blood [129]; and [2532] without [5565] shedding of blood [130] is [1096] no [3756] remission [859]. 58 9 23 It was therefore [3767] necessary [318] that the patterns [5262] of things [3303] in [1722] the heavens [3772] should be purified [2511] with these [5125]; but [1161] the heavenly things [2032] themselves [846] with better [2909] sacrifices [2378] than [3844] these [5025]. 58 9 24 For [1063] Christ [5547] is [1525] not [3756] entered [1525] into [1519] the holy places [39] made with hands [5499], which are the figures [499] of the true [228]; but [235] into [1519] heaven [3772] itself [846], now [3568] to appear [1718] in the presence [4383] of God [2316] for [5228] us [2257]: 58 9 25 Nor [3761] yet that [2443] he should offer [4374] himself [1438] often [4178], as [5618] the high priest [749] entereth [1525] into [1519] the holy place [39] every [2596] year [1763] with [1722] blood [129] of others [245]; 58 9 26 For then [1893] must [1163] he [846] often [4178] have suffered [3958] since [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]: but [1161] now [3568] once [530] in [1909] the end [4930] of the world [165] hath he appeared [5319] to [1519] put away [115] sin [266] by [1223] the sacrifice [2378] of himself [846]. 58 9 27 And [2532] as [2596] [3745] it is appointed [606] unto men [444] once [530] to die [599], but [1161] after [3326] this [5124] the judgment [2920]: 58 9 28 So [3779] Christ [5547] was once [530] offered [4374] to [1519] bear [399] the sins [266] of many [4183]; and unto them that look [553] for him [846] shall he appear [3700] [1537] the second time [1208] without [5565] sin [266] unto [1519] salvation [4991]. 58 10 1 For [1063] the law [3551] having [2192] a shadow [4639] of good things [18] to come [3195], and not [3756] the very [846] image [1504] of the things [4229], can [1410] never [3763] with those [846] sacrifices [2378] which [3739] they offered [4374] year by year [2596] [1763] continually [1519] [1336] make [5048] the comers thereunto [4334] perfect [5048]. 58 10 2 For then [1893] would they [302] not [3756] have ceased [3973] to be offered [4374]? because [1223] that the worshippers [3000] once [530] purged [2508] should have had [2192] no [3367] more [2089] conscience [4893] of sins [266]. 58 10 3 But [235] in [1722] those [846] sacrifices there is a remembrance again [364] made of sins [266] every [2596] year [1763]. 58 10 4 For [1063] it is not possible [102] that the blood [129] of bulls [5022] and [2532] of goats [5131] should take away [851] sins [266]. 58 10 5 Wherefore [1352] when he cometh [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], he saith [3004], Sacrifice [2378] and [2532] offering [4376] thou wouldest [2309] not [3756], but [1161] a body [4983] hast thou prepared [2675] me [3427]: 58 10 6 In burnt offerings [3646] and [2532] sacrifices for [4012] sin [266] thou hast had [2106] no [3756] pleasure [2106]. 58 10 7 Then [5119] said I [2036], Lo [2400], I come [2240] (in [1722] the volume [2777] of the book [975] it is written [1125] of [4012] me [1700],) to do [4160] thy [4675] will [2307], O God [2316]. 58 10 8 Above [511] when he said [3004], [3754] Sacrifice [2378] and [2532] offering [4376] and [2532] burnt offerings [3646] and [2532] offering for [4012] sin [266] thou wouldest [2309] not [3756], neither [3761] hadst pleasure [2106] therein; which [3748] are offered [4374] by [2596] the law [3551]; 58 10 9 Then [5119] said he [2046], Lo [2400], I come [2240] to do [4160] thy [4675] will [2307], O God [2316]. He taketh away [337] the first [4413], that [2443] he may establish [2476] the second [1208]. 58 10 10 By [1722] the which [3739] will [2307] we are [2070] sanctified [37] through [1223] the offering [4376] of the body [4983] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] once [2178] for all. 58 10 11 And [2532] [3303] every [3956] priest [2409] standeth [2476] daily [2596] [2250] ministering [3008] and [2532] offering [4374] oftentimes [4178] the same [846] sacrifices [2378], which [3748] can [1410] never [3763] take away [4014] sins [266]: 58 10 12 But [1161] this man [846], after he had offered [4374] one [3391] sacrifice [2378] for [5228] sins [266] for [1519] ever [1336], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of God [2316]; 58 10 13 From henceforth [3063] expecting [1551] till [2193] his [846] enemies [2190] be made [5087] his [846] footstool [5286] [4228]. 58 10 14 For [1063] by one [3391] offering [4376] he hath perfected [5048] for [1519] ever [1336] them that are sanctified [37]. 58 10 15 Whereof [1161] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] also [2532] is a witness [3140] to us [2254]: for [1063] after [3326] that he had said before [4280], 58 10 16 This [3778] is the covenant [1242] that [3739] I will make [1303] with [4314] them [846] after [3326] those [1565] days [2250], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], I will put [1325] my [3450] laws [3551] into [1909] their [846] hearts [2588], and [2532] in [1909] their [846] minds [1271] will I write [1924] them [846]; 58 10 17 And [2532] their [846] sins [266] and [2532] iniquities [458] [846] will I remember [3415] no [3364] more [2089]. 58 10 18 Now [1161] where [3699] remission [859] of these [5130] is, there is no more [3765] offering [4376] for [4012] sin [266]. 58 10 19 Having [2192] therefore [3767], brethren [80], boldness [3954] to [1519] enter [1529] into the holiest [39] by [1722] the blood [129] of Jesus [2424], 58 10 20 By a new [4372] and [2532] living [2198] way [3598], which [3739] he hath consecrated [1457] for us [2254], through [1223] the veil [2665], that is to say [5123], his [846] flesh [4561]; 58 10 21 And [2532] having an high [3173] priest [2409] over [1909] the house [3624] of God [2316]; 58 10 22 Let us draw near [4334] with [3326] a true [228] heart [2588] in [1722] full assurance [4136] of faith [4102], having [4472] our hearts [2588] sprinkled [4472] from [575] an evil [4190] conscience [4893], and [2532] our bodies [4983] washed [3068] with pure [2513] water [5204]. 58 10 23 Let us hold fast [2722] the profession [3671] of our faith [1680] without wavering [186]; (for [1063] he is faithful [4103] that promised [1861] 58 10 24 And [2532] let us consider [2657] one another [240] to [1519] provoke [3948] unto love [26] and [2532] to good [2570] works [2041]: 58 10 25 Not [3361] forsaking [1459] the assembling [1997] of ourselves [1438] together [1997], as [2531] the manner [1485] of some [5100] is; but [235] exhorting [3870] one another: and [2532] so much [5118] the more [3123], as [3745] ye see [991] the day [2250] approaching [1448]. 58 10 26 For [1063] if we [2257] sin [264] wilfully [1596] after [3326] that we have received [2983] the knowledge [1922] of the truth [225], there remaineth [620] no more [3765] sacrifice [2378] for [4012] sins [266], 58 10 27 But [1161] a certain [5100] fearful [5398] looking for [1561] of judgment [2920] and [2532] fiery [4442] indignation [2205], which shall [3195] devour [2068] the adversaries [5227]. 58 10 28 He [5100] that despised [114] Moses [3475]' law [3551] died [599] without [5565] mercy [3628] under [1909] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] witnesses [3144]: 58 10 29 Of how much [4214] sorer [5501] punishment [5098], suppose ye [1380], shall he be thought worthy [515], who [3588] hath trodden under foot [2662] the Son [5207] of God [2316], and [2532] hath counted [2233] the blood [129] of the covenant [1242], wherewith [3739] [1722] he was sanctified [37], an unholy thing [2839], and [2532] hath done despite [1796] unto the Spirit [4151] of grace [5485]? 58 10 30 For [1063] we know [1492] him that hath said [2036], Vengeance [1557] belongeth unto me [1698], I [1473] will recompense [467], saith [3004] the Lord [2962]. And [2532] again [3825], The Lord [2962] shall judge [2919] his [846] people [2992]. 58 10 31 It is a fearful thing [5398] to fall [1706] into [1519] the hands [5495] of the living [2198] God [2316]. 58 10 32 But [1161] call to remembrance [363] the former [4386] days [2250], in [1722] which [3739], after ye were illuminated [5461], ye endured [5278] a great [4183] fight [119] of afflictions [3804]; 58 10 33 Partly [5124] [3303], whilst ye were made a gazingstock [2301] both [5037] by reproaches [3680] and [2532] afflictions [2347]; and [1161] partly [5124], whilst ye became [1096] companions [2844] of them that were [390] so [3779] used [390]. 58 10 34 For [2532] [1063] ye had compassion [4834] of me in my [3450] bonds [1199], and [2532] took [4327] joyfully [3326] [5479] the spoiling [724] of your [5216] goods [5224], knowing [1097] in [1722] yourselves [1438] that ye have [2192] in [1722] heaven [3772] a better [2909] and [2532] an enduring [3306] substance [5223]. 58 10 35 Cast [577] not [3361] away [577] therefore [3767] your [5216] confidence [3954], which [3748] hath [2192] great [3173] recompence of reward [3405]. 58 10 36 For [1063] ye have [2192] need [5532] of patience [5281], that [2443], after ye have done [4160] the will [2307] of God [2316], ye might receive [2865] the promise [1860]. 58 10 37 For [1063] yet [2089] a little [3397] while [3745] [3745], and he that shall come [2064] will come [2240], and [2532] will [5549] not [3756] tarry [5549]. 58 10 38 Now [1161] the just [1342] shall live [2198] by [1537] faith [4102]: but [2532] if [1437] any man draw back [5288], my [3450] soul [5590] shall have [2106] no [3756] pleasure [2106] in [1722] him [846]. 58 10 39 But [1161] we [2249] are [2070] not [3756] of them who draw back [5289] unto [1519] perdition [684]; but [235] of them that believe [4102] to [1519] the saving [4047] of the soul [5590]. 58 11 1 Now [1161] faith [4102] is [2076] the substance [5287] of things hoped for [1679], the evidence [1650] of things [4229] not [3756] seen [991]. 58 11 2 For [1063] by [1722] it [5026] the elders [4245] obtained a good report [3140]. 58 11 3 Through faith [4102] we understand [3539] that the worlds [165] were framed [2675] by the word [4487] of God [2316], so [1519] that things which [3588] are seen [991] were [1096] not [3361] made [1096] of [1537] things which do appear [5316]. 58 11 4 By faith [4102] Abel [6] offered [4374] unto God [2316] a more excellent [4119] sacrifice [2378] than [3844] Cain [2535], by [1223] which [3739] he obtained witness [3140] that he was [1511] righteous [1342], God [2316] testifying [3140] of [1909] his [846] gifts [1435]: and [2532] by [1223] it [846] he being dead [599] yet [2089] speaketh [2980] [2980]. 58 11 5 By faith [4102] Enoch [1802] was translated [3346] that he should [1492] not [3361] see [1492] death [2288]; and [2532] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147], because [1360] God [2316] had translated [3346] him [846]: for [1063] before [4253] his [846] translation [3331] he had this testimony [3140], that he pleased [2100] God [2316]. 58 11 6 But [1161] without [5565] faith [4102] it is impossible [102] to please [2100] him: for [1063] he that cometh [4334] to God [2316] must [1163] believe [4100] that [3754] he is [2076], and [2532] that he is [1096] a rewarder [3406] of them that diligently seek [1567] him [846]. 58 11 7 By faith [4102] Noah [3575], being warned of God [5537] of [4012] things not [3369] seen [991] as yet [3369], moved with fear [2125], prepared [2680] an ark [2787] to [1519] the saving [4991] of his [846] house [3624]; by [1223] the which [3739] he condemned [2632] the world [2889], and [2532] became [1096] heir [2818] of the righteousness [1343] which is by [2596] faith [4102]. 58 11 8 By faith [4102] Abraham [11], when he was called [2564] to go out [1831] into [1519] a place [5117] which [3739] he should after [3195] receive [2983] for [1519] an inheritance [2817], obeyed [5219]; and [2532] he went out [1831], not [3361] knowing [1987] whither [4226] he went [2064]. 58 11 9 By faith [4102] he sojourned [3939] in [1519] the land [1093] of promise [1860], as [5613] in a strange country [245], dwelling [2730] in [1722] tabernacles [4633] with [3326] Isaac [2464] and [2532] Jacob [2384], the heirs with him [4789] of the same [846] promise [1860]: 58 11 10 For [1063] he looked for [1551] a city [4172] which hath [2192] foundations [2310], whose [3739] builder [5079] and [2532] maker [1217] is God [2316]. 58 11 11 Through faith [4102] also [2532] Sara [4564] herself [846] received [2983] strength [1411] to [1519] conceive [2602] seed [4690], and [2532] was delivered of a child [5088] when she was past [3844] age [2540] [2244], because [1893] she judged [2233] him faithful [4103] who had promised [1861]. 58 11 12 Therefore [1352] sprang there [1080] even [2532] of [575] one [1520], and [2532] him [5023] as good as dead [3499], so many as [2531] the stars [798] of the sky [3772] in multitude [4128], and [2532] as [5616] the sand [285] which [3588] is by [3844] the sea [2281] shore [5491] innumerable [382]. 58 11 13 These [3778] all [3956] died [599] in [2596] faith [4102], not [3361] having received [2983] the promises [1860], but [235] having seen [1492] them [846] afar off [4207], and [2532] were persuaded of [3982] them, and [2532] embraced [782] them, and [2532] confessed [3670] that [3754] they were [1526] strangers [3581] and [2532] pilgrims [3927] on [1909] the earth [1093]. 58 11 14 For [1063] they that say [3004] such things [5108] declare plainly [1718] that [3754] they seek [1934] a country [3968]. 58 11 15 And [2532] truly [3303], if [1487] they had been mindful [3421] of that [1565] country from [575] whence [3739] they came out [1831], they might [302] have had [2192] opportunity [2540] to have returned [344]. 58 11 16 But [1161] now [3570] they desire [3713] a better [2909] country, that is [5123], an heavenly [2032]: wherefore [1352] God [2316] is [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] [846] to be called [1941] their [846] God [2316]: for [1063] he hath prepared [2090] for them [846] a city [4172]. 58 11 17 By faith [4102] Abraham [11], when he was tried [3985], offered up [4374] Isaac [2464]: and [2532] he that had received [324] the promises [1860] offered up [4374] his only begotten [3439] son, 58 11 18 Of [4314] whom [3739] it was said [2980], That [3754] in [1722] Isaac [2464] shall [2564] thy [4671] seed [4690] be called [2564]: 58 11 19 Accounting [3049] that [3754] God [2316] was able [1415] to raise him up [1453], even [2532] from [1537] the dead [3498]; from whence [3606] also [2532] he received [2865] him [846] in [1722] a figure [3850]. 58 11 20 By faith [4102] Isaac [2464] blessed [2127] Jacob [2384] and [2532] Esau [2269] concerning [4012] things to come [3195]. 58 11 21 By faith [4102] Jacob [2384], when he was a dying [599], blessed [2127] both [1538] the sons [5207] of Joseph [2501]; and [2532] worshipped [4352], leaning upon [1909] the top [206] of his [846] staff [4464]. 58 11 22 By faith [4102] Joseph [2501], when he died [5053], made mention [3421] of [4012] the departing [1841] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474]; and [2532] gave commandment [1781] concerning [4012] his [846] bones [3747]. 58 11 23 By faith [4102] Moses [3475], when he was born [1080], was hid [2928] three months [5150] of [5259] his [846] parents [3962], because [1360] they saw [1492] he was a proper [791] child [3813]; and [2532] they were [5399] not [3756] afraid [5399] of the king's [935] commandment [1297]. 58 11 24 By faith [4102] Moses [3475], when he was come [1096] to years [3173], refused [720] to be called [3004] the son [5207] of Pharaoh's [5328] daughter [2364]; 58 11 25 Choosing [138] rather [3123] to suffer affliction [4778] with the people [2992] of God [2316], than [2228] to enjoy the pleasures [2192] [619] of sin [266] for a season [4340]; 58 11 26 Esteeming [2233] the reproach [3680] of Christ [5547] greater [3187] riches [4149] than [2233] the treasures [2344] in [1722] Egypt [125]: for [1063] he had respect [578] unto [1519] the recompence of the reward [3405]. 58 11 27 By faith [4102] he forsook [2641] Egypt [125], not [3361] fearing [5399] the wrath [2372] of the king [935]: for [1063] he endured [2594], as [5613] seeing [3708] him who is invisible [517]. 58 11 28 Through faith [4102] he kept [4160] the passover [3957], and [2532] the sprinkling [4378] of blood [129], lest [3363] he that destroyed [3645] the firstborn [4416] should touch [2345] them [846]. 58 11 29 By faith [4102] they passed through [1224] the Red [2063] sea [2281] as [5613] by [1223] dry [3584] land: which [3739] the Egyptians [124] assaying [3984] to do [2983] were drowned [2666]. 58 11 30 By faith [4102] the walls [5038] of Jericho [2410] fell down [4098], after they were compassed [2944] about [1909] seven [2033] days [2250]. 58 11 31 By faith [4102] the harlot [4204] Rahab [4460] perished [4881] not [3756] with them that believed not [544], when she had received [1209] the spies [2685] with [3326] peace [1515]. 58 11 32 And [2532] what [5101] shall I [3004] more [2089] say [3004]? for [1063] the time [5550] would fail [1952] me [3165] to tell [1334] of [4012] Gedeon [1066], and [5037] of Barak [913], and [2532] of Samson [4546], and [2532] of Jephthae [2422]; of David [1138] also [2532], and [5037] Samuel [4545], and [2532] of the prophets [4396]: 58 11 33 Who [3739] through [1223] faith [4102] subdued [2610] kingdoms [932], wrought [2038] righteousness [1343], obtained [2013] promises [1860], stopped [5420] the mouths [4750] of lions [3023], 58 11 34 Quenched [4570] the violence [1411] of fire [4442], escaped [5343] the edge [4750] of the sword [3162], out of [575] weakness [769] were made strong [1743], waxed [1096] valiant [2478] in [1722] fight [4171], turned to flight [2827] the armies [3925] of the aliens [245]. 58 11 35 Women [1135] received [2983] their [846] dead [3498] raised to life again [1537] [386]: and [1161] others [243] were tortured [5178], not [3756] accepting [4327] deliverance [629]; that [2443] they might obtain [5177] a better [2909] resurrection [386]: 58 11 36 And [1161] others [2087] had [2983] trial [3984] of cruel mockings [1701] and [2532] scourgings [3148], yea [1161], moreover [2089] of bonds [1199] and [2532] imprisonment [5438]: 58 11 37 They were stoned [3034], they were sawn asunder [4249], were tempted [3985], were slain [599] with [1722] the sword [5408] [3162]: they wandered about [4022] in [1722] sheepskins [3374] and [1722] goatskins [122] [1192]; being destitute [5302], afflicted [2346], tormented [2558]; 58 11 38 (Of whom [3739] the world [2889] was [2258] not [3756] worthy [514]:) they wandered [4105] in [1722] deserts [2047], and [2532] in mountains [3735], and [2532] in dens [4693] and [2532] caves [3692] of the earth [1093]. 58 11 39 And [2532] these [3778] all [3956], having obtained a good report [3140] through [1223] faith [4102], received [2865] not [3756] the promise [1860]: 58 11 40 God [2316] having provided [4265] some [5100] better [2909] thing [5100] for [4012] us [2257], that [3363] they [5048] without [5565] us [2257] should [5048] not [3363] be made perfect [5048]. 58 12 1 Wherefore [5105] seeing we also [2532] are [2192] compassed about [4029] [2254] with so great [5118] a cloud [3509] of witnesses [3144], let [659] us [2249] lay aside [659] every [3956] weight [3591], and [2532] the sin [266] which doth so easily beset [2139] us, and let us run [5143] with [1223] patience [5281] the race [73] that is set before [4295] us [2254], 58 12 2 Looking [872] unto [1519] Jesus [2424] the author [747] and [2532] finisher [5051] of our faith [4102]; who [3739] for [473] the joy [5479] that was set before [4295] him [846] endured [5278] the cross [4716], despising [2706] the shame [152], and [5037] is set down [2523] at [1722] the right hand [1188] of the throne [2362] of God [2316]. 58 12 3 For [1063] consider [357] him that endured [5278] such [5108] contradiction [485] of [5259] sinners [268] against [1519] himself [846], lest [3363] ye be wearied [2577] and faint [1590] in your [5216] minds [5590]. 58 12 4 Ye have [478] not yet [3768] resisted [478] unto [3360] blood [129], striving [464] against [4314] sin [266]. 58 12 5 And [2532] ye have forgotten [1585] the exhortation [3874] which [3748] speaketh [1256] unto you [5213] as [5613] unto children [5207], My [3450] son [5207], despise [3643] not [3361] thou [3643] the chastening [3809] of the Lord [2962], nor [3366] faint [1590] when thou art rebuked [1651] of [5259] him [846]: 58 12 6 For [1063] whom [3739] the Lord [2962] loveth [25] he chasteneth [3811], and [1161] scourgeth [3146] every [3956] son [5207] whom [3739] he receiveth [3858]. 58 12 7 If [1487] ye endure [5278] chastening [3809], God [2316] dealeth [4374] with you [5213] as [5613] with sons [5207]; for [1063] what [5101] son [5207] is he [2076] whom [3739] the father [3962] chasteneth [3811] not [3756]? 58 12 8 But [1161] if [1487] ye be [2075] without [5565] chastisement [3809], whereof [3739] all [3956] are [1096] partakers [3353], then [686] are ye [2075] bastards [3541], and [2532] not [3756] sons [5207]. 58 12 9 Furthermore [1534] [3303] we have had [2192] fathers [3962] of our [2257] flesh [4561] which corrected [3810] us, and [2532] we gave them reverence [1788]: shall we [5293] not [3756] much [4183] rather [3123] be in subjection [5293] unto the Father [3962] of spirits [4151], and [2532] live [2198]? 58 12 10 For [1063] they verily [3303] for [4314] a few [3641] days [2250] chastened [3811] us after [2596] their own [846] pleasure [1380]; but [1161] he for [1909] our profit [4851], that [1519] we might be partakers [3335] of his [846] holiness [41]. 58 12 11 Now [1161] no [3956] [3756] chastening [3809] for [4314] [3303] the present [3918] seemeth [1380] to be [1511] joyous [5479], but [235] grievous [3077]: nevertheless [1161] afterward [5305] it yieldeth [591] the peaceable [1516] fruit [2590] of righteousness [1343] unto them which are exercised [1128] thereby [1223] [846]. 58 12 12 Wherefore [1352] lift up [461] the hands [5495] which hang down [3935], and [2532] the feeble [3886] knees [1119]; 58 12 13 And [2532] make [4160] straight [3717] paths [5163] for your [5216] feet [4228], lest that [3363] which is lame [5560] be turned out of the way [1624]; but [1161] let it [2390] rather [3123] be healed [2390]. 58 12 14 Follow [1377] peace [1515] with [3326] all [3956] men, and [2532] holiness [38], without [5565] which [3739] no man [3762] shall see [3700] the Lord [2962]: 58 12 15 Looking diligently [1983] lest [3361] any man [5100] fail [5302] of [575] the grace [5485] of God [2316]; lest [3361] any [5100] root [4491] of bitterness [4088] springing [5453] up [507] trouble [1776] you, and [2532] thereby [1223] [5026] many [4183] be defiled [3392]; 58 12 16 Lest [3361] there be any [5100] fornicator [4205], or [2228] profane person [952], as [5613] Esau [2269], who [3739] for [473] one [3391] morsel of meat [1035] sold [591] his [846] birthright [4415]. 58 12 17 For [1063] ye know [2467] how [3754] that afterward [2532] [3347], when he would [2309] have inherited [2816] the blessing [2129], he was rejected [593]: for [1063] he found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] of repentance [3341], though [2539] he sought [1567] it [846] carefully [1567] with [3326] tears [1144]. 58 12 18 For [1063] ye are [4334] not [3756] come [4334] unto the mount [3735] that might be touched [5584], and [2532] that burned [2545] with fire [4442], nor [2532] unto blackness [1105], and [2532] darkness [4655], and [2532] tempest [2366], 58 12 19 And [2532] the sound [2279] of a trumpet [4536], and [2532] the voice [5456] of words [4487]; which [3739] voice they that heard [191] intreated [3868] that the word [3056] should [4369] not [3361] be spoken [4369] to them [846] any more [3361]: 58 12 20 (For [1063] they could [5342] not [3756] endure [5342] that which was commanded [1291], And if so much as [2579] a beast [2342] touch [2345] the mountain [3735], it shall be stoned [3036], or [2228] thrust through [2700] with a dart [1002]: 58 12 21 And [2532] so [3779] terrible [5398] was [2258] the sight [5324], that Moses [3475] said [2036], I exceedingly fear [1630] [1510] and [2532] quake [1790]:) 58 12 22 But [235] ye are come [4334] unto mount [3735] Sion [4622], and [2532] unto the city [4172] of the living [2198] God [2316], the heavenly [2032] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] to an innumerable company [3461] of angels [32], 58 12 23 To the general assembly [3831] and [2532] church [1577] of the firstborn [4416], which are written [583] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] to God [2316] the Judge [2923] of all [3956], and [2532] to the spirits [4151] of just men [1342] made perfect [5048], 58 12 24 And [2532] to Jesus [2424] the mediator [3316] of the new [3501] covenant [1242], and [2532] to the blood [129] of sprinkling [4473], that speaketh [2980] better things [2909] than [3844] that of Abel [6]. 58 12 25 See [991] that ye refuse [3868] not [3361] him that speaketh [2980]. For [1063] if [1487] they [1565] escaped [5343] not [3756] who refused him [3868] that spake [5537] on [1909] earth [1093], much [4183] more [3123] shall not we [2249] escape, if we turn away from him [654] that speaketh from [575] heaven [3772]: 58 12 26 Whose [3739] voice [5456] then [5119] shook [4531] the earth [1093]: but [1161] now [3568] he hath promised [1861], saying [3004], Yet [2089] once more [530] I [1473] shake [4579] not [3756] the earth [1093] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] heaven [3772]. 58 12 27 And [1161] this word, Yet [2089] once more [530], signifieth [1213] the removing [3331] of those things that are shaken [4531], as [5613] of things that are made [4160], that [2443] those things which cannot [3361] be shaken [4531] may remain [3306]. 58 12 28 Wherefore [1352] we receiving [3880] a kingdom [932] which cannot be moved [761], let us have [2192] grace [5485], whereby [1223] [3739] we may serve [3000] God [2316] acceptably [2102] with [3326] reverence [127] and [2532] godly fear [2124]: 58 12 29 For [2532] [1063] our [2257] God [2316] is a consuming [2654] fire [4442]. 58 13 1 Let [3306] brotherly love [5360] continue [3306]. 58 13 2 Be [1950] not [3361] forgetful [1950] to entertain strangers [5381]: for [1063] thereby [1223] [5026] some [5100] have entertained [3579] angels [32] unawares [2990]. 58 13 3 Remember [3403] them that are in bonds [1198], as [5613] bound with them [4887]; and them which suffer adversity [2558], as [5613] being [5607] yourselves [846] also [2532] in [1722] the body [4983]. 58 13 4 Marriage [1062] is honourable [5093] in [1722] all [3956], and [2532] the bed [2845] undefiled [283]: but [1161] whoremongers [4205] and [2532] adulterers [3432] God [2316] will judge [2919]. 58 13 5 Let your conversation [5158] be without covetousness [866]; and be content [714] with such things as ye have [3918]: for [1063] he [846] hath said [2046], I will never [3364] leave [447] thee [4571], nor [3761] [3364] forsake [1459] thee [4571]. 58 13 6 So that [5620] we [2248] may boldly [2292] say [3004], The Lord [2962] is my [1698] helper [998], and [2532] I will [5399] not [3756] fear [5399] what [5101] man [444] shall do [4160] unto me [3427]. 58 13 7 Remember [3421] them which have the rule [2233] over you [5216], who [3748] have spoken [2980] unto you [5213] the word [3056] of God [2316]: whose [3739] faith [4102] follow [3401], considering [333] the end [1545] of their conversation [391]. 58 13 8 Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the same [846] yesterday [5504], and [2532] to day [4594], and [2532] for [1519] ever [165]. 58 13 9 Be [4064] not [3361] carried about [4064] with divers [4164] and [2532] strange [3581] doctrines [1322]. For [1063] it is a good thing [2570] that the heart [2588] be established [950] with grace [5485]; not [3756] with meats [1033], which have [5623] not [3756] profited [5623] them that have been occupied [4043] therein [1722] [3739]. 58 13 10 We have [2192] an altar [2379], whereof [1537] [3739] they have [2192] no [3756] right [1849] to eat [5315] which serve [3000] the tabernacle [4633]. 58 13 11 For [1063] the bodies [4983] of those [5130] beasts [2226], whose [3739] blood [129] is brought [1533] into [1519] the sanctuary [39] by [1223] the high priest [749] for [4012] sin [266], are burned [2618] without [1854] the camp [3925]. 58 13 12 Wherefore [1352] Jesus [2424] also [2532], that [2443] he might sanctify [37] the people [2992] with [1223] his own [2398] blood [129], suffered [3958] without [1854] the gate [4439]. 58 13 13 Let us go forth [1831] therefore [5106] unto [4314] him [846] without [1854] the camp [3925], bearing [5342] his [846] reproach [3680]. 58 13 14 For [1063] here [5602] have we [2192] no [3756] continuing [3306] city [4172], but [235] we seek one [1934] to come [3195]. 58 13 15 By [1223] him [846] therefore [3767] let us offer [399] the sacrifice [2378] of praise [133] to God [2316] continually [1275], that is [5123], the fruit [2590] of our lips [5491] giving thanks [3670] to his [846] name [3686]. 58 13 16 But [1161] to do good [2140] and [2532] to communicate [2842] forget [1950] not [3361]: for [1063] with such [5108] sacrifices [2378] God [2316] is well pleased [2100]. 58 13 17 Obey [3982] them that have the rule [2233] over you [5216], and [2532] submit yourselves [5226]: for [1063] they [846] watch [69] for [5228] your [5216] souls [5590], as [5613] they that must give [591] account [3056], that [2443] they may do [4160] it [5124] with [3326] joy [5479], and [2532] not [3361] with grief [4727]: for [1063] that [5124] is unprofitable [255] for you [5213]. 58 13 18 Pray [4336] for [4012] us [2257]: for [1063] [3754] we trust [3982] we have [2192] a good [2570] conscience [4893], in [1722] all things [3956] willing [2309] to live [390] honestly [2573]. 58 13 19 But [1161] I beseech [3870] you the rather [4056] to do [4160] this [5124], that [2443] I may be restored [600] to you [5213] the sooner [5032]. 58 13 20 Now [1161] the God [2316] of peace [1515], that brought again [321] from [1537] the dead [3498] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that great [3173] shepherd [4166] of the sheep [4263], through [1722] the blood [129] of the everlasting [166] covenant [1242], 58 13 21 Make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] work [2041] to [1519] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], working [4160] in [1722] you [5213] that which is wellpleasing [2101] in his [846] sight [1799], through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; to whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 58 13 22 And [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], suffer [430] the word [3056] of exhortation [3874]: for [1063] [2532] I have written a letter [1989] unto you [5213] in [1223] few words [1024]. 58 13 23 Know ye [1097] that our brother [80] Timothy [5095] is set at liberty [630]; with [3326] whom [3739], if [1437] he come [2064] shortly [5032], I will see [3700] you [5209]. 58 13 24 Salute [782] all [3956] them that have the rule [2233] over you [5216], and [2532] all [3956] the saints [40]. They of [575] Italy [2482] salute [782] you [5209]. 58 13 25 Grace [5485] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281]. 59 1 1 James [2385], a servant [1401] of God [2316] and [2532] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] which [1722] are scattered abroad [1290], greeting [5463]. 59 1 2 My [3450] brethren [80], count it [2233] all [3956] joy [5479] when [3752] ye fall [4045] into divers [4164] temptations [3986]; 59 1 3 Knowing [1097] this, that [3754] the trying [1383] of your [5216] faith [4102] worketh [2716] patience [5281]. 59 1 4 But [1161] let [2192] patience [5281] have [2192] her perfect [5046] work [2041], that [2443] ye may be [5600] perfect [5046] and [2532] entire [3648], wanting [3007] nothing [1722] [3367]. 59 1 5 [1161] If any [1536] of you [5216] lack [3007] wisdom [4678], let him ask [154] of [3844] God [2316], that giveth [1325] to all [3956] men liberally [574], and [2532] upbraideth [3679] not [3361]; and [2532] it shall be given [1325] him [846]. 59 1 6 But [1161] let him ask [154] in [1722] faith [4102], nothing [3367] wavering [1252]. For [1063] he that wavereth [1252] is like [1503] a wave [2830] of the sea [2281] driven with the wind [416] and [2532] tossed [4494]. 59 1 7 For [1063] let [3633] not [3361] that [1565] man [444] think [3633] that [3754] he shall receive [2983] any thing [5100] of [3844] the Lord [2962]. 59 1 8 A double minded [1374] man [435] is unstable [182] in [1722] all [3956] his [846] ways [3598]. 59 1 9 [1161] Let [2744] the brother [80] of low degree [5011] rejoice [2744] in [1722] that he [846] is exalted [5311]: 59 1 10 But [1161] the rich [4145], in [1722] that he [846] is made low [5014]: because [3754] as [5613] the flower [438] of the grass [5528] he shall pass away [3928]. 59 1 11 For [1063] the sun [2246] is no sooner risen [393] with [4862] a burning heat [2742], but [2532] it withereth [3583] the grass [5528], and [2532] the flower [438] thereof [846] falleth [1601], and [2532] the grace [2143] of the fashion [4383] of it [846] perisheth [622]: so [3779] also [2532] shall [3133] the rich man [4145] fade away [3133] in [1722] his [846] ways [4197]. 59 1 12 Blessed [3107] is the man [435] that [3739] endureth [5278] temptation [3986]: for [3754] when he is tried [1384] [1096], he shall receive [2983] the crown [4735] of life [2222], which [3739] the Lord [2962] hath promised [1861] to them that love [25] him [846]. 59 1 13 Let [3004] no man [3367] say [3004] when he is tempted [3985], [3754] I am tempted [3985] of [575] God [2316]: for [1063] God [2316] cannot be tempted [551] [2076] with evil [2556], neither [1161] tempteth [3985] he [846] [3985] any man [3762]: 59 1 14 But [1161] every man [1538] is tempted [3985], when he is drawn away [1828] of [5259] his own [2398] lust [1939], and [2532] enticed [1185]. 59 1 15 Then [1534] when lust [1939] hath conceived [4815], it bringeth forth [5088] sin [266]: and [1161] sin [266], when it is finished [658], bringeth forth [616] death [2288]. 59 1 16 Do [4105] not [3361] err [4105], my [3450] beloved [27] brethren [80]. 59 1 17 Every [3956] good [18] gift [1394] and [2532] every [3956] perfect [5046] gift [1434] is [2076] from above [509], and cometh down [2597] from [575] the Father [3962] of lights [5457], with [3844] whom [3739] is [1762] no [3756] variableness [3883], neither [2228] shadow [644] of turning [5157]. 59 1 18 Of his own will [1014] begat he [616] us [2248] with the word [3056] of truth [225], that [1519] we [2248] should be [1511] a kind [5100] of firstfruits [536] of his [846] creatures [2938]. 59 1 19 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] beloved [27] brethren [80], let [2077] every [3956] man [444] be [2077] swift [5036] to [1519] hear [191], slow [1021] to [1519] speak [2980], slow [1021] to [1519] wrath [3709]: 59 1 20 For [1063] the wrath [3709] of man [435] worketh [2716] not [3756] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316]. 59 1 21 Wherefore [1352] lay apart [659] all [3956] filthiness [4507] and [2532] superfluity [4050] of naughtiness [2549], and receive [1209] with [1722] meekness [4240] the engrafted [1721] word [3056], which [3588] is able [1410] to save [4982] your [5216] souls [5590]. 59 1 22 But [1161] be ye [1096] doers [4163] of the word [3056], and [2532] not [3361] hearers [202] only [3440], deceiving [3884] your own selves [1438]. 59 1 23 For [3754] if any [1536] be [2076] a hearer [202] of the word [3056], and [2532] not [3756] a doer [4163], he [3778] is like [1503] unto a man [435] beholding [2657] his [846] natural [1078] face [4383] in [1722] a glass [2072]: 59 1 24 For [1063] he beholdeth [2657] himself [1438], and [2532] goeth his way [565], and [2532] straightway [2112] forgetteth [1950] what manner of man [3697] he was [2258]. 59 1 25 But [1161] whoso looketh [3879] into [1519] the perfect [5046] law [3551] of liberty [1657], and [2532] continueth [3887] therein, he [3778] being [1096] not [3756] a forgetful [1953] hearer [202], but [235] a doer [4163] of the work [2041], this man [3778] shall be [2071] blessed [3107] in [1722] his [846] deed [4162]. 59 1 26 If any man [1536] among [1722] you [5213] seem [1380] to be [1511] religious [2357], and bridleth [5468] not [3361] his [846] tongue [1100], but [235] deceiveth [538] his own [846] heart [2588], this man's [5127] religion [2356] is vain [3152]. 59 1 27 Pure [2513] religion [2356] and [2532] undefiled [283] before [3844] God [2316] and [2532] the Father [3962] is [2076] this [3778], To visit [1980] the fatherless [3737] and [2532] widows [5503] in [1722] their [846] affliction [2347], and to keep [5083] himself [1438] unspotted [784] from [575] the world [2889]. 59 2 1 My [3450] brethren [80], have [2192] not [3361] the faith [4102] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Lord of glory [1391], with [1722] respect of persons [4382]. 59 2 2 For [1063] if [1437] there come [1525] unto [1519] your [5216] assembly [4864] a man [435] with a gold ring [5554], in [1722] goodly [2986] apparel [2066], and [1161] there come in [1525] also [2532] a poor man [4434] in [1722] vile [4508] raiment [2066]; 59 2 3 And [2532] ye have respect [1914] to [1909] him that weareth [5409] the gay [2986] clothing [2066], and [2532] say [2036] unto him [846], Sit [2521] thou [4771] here [5602] in a good place [2573]; and [2532] say [2036] to the poor [4434], Stand [2476] thou [4771] there [1563], or [2228] sit [2521] here [5602] under [5259] my [3450] footstool [5286]: 59 2 4 Are ye [1252] not [3756] then [2532] partial [1252] in [1722] yourselves [1438], and [2532] are become [1096] judges [2923] of evil [4190] thoughts [1261]? 59 2 5 Hearken [191], my [3450] beloved [27] brethren [80], Hath [1586] not [3756] God [2316] chosen [1586] the poor [4434] of this [5127] world [2889] rich [4145] in [1722] faith [4102], and [2532] heirs [2818] of the kingdom [932] which [3739] he hath promised [1861] to them that love [25] him [846]? 59 2 6 But [1161] ye [5210] have despised [818] the poor [4434]. Do [2616] not [3756] rich men [4145] oppress [2616] you [5216], and [2532] draw [846] [1670] you [5209] before [1519] the judgment seats [2922]? 59 2 7 Do [987] not [3756] they [846] blaspheme [987] that worthy [2570] name [3686] by [1909] the which ye [5209] are called [1941]? 59 2 8 If [1487] [3305] ye fulfil [5055] the royal [937] law [3551] according to [2596] the scripture [1124], Thou shalt love [25] thy [4675] neighbour [4139] as [5613] thyself [4572], ye do [4160] well [2573]: 59 2 9 But [1161] if [1487] ye have respect to persons [4380], ye commit [2038] sin [266], and are convinced [1651] of [5259] the law [3551] as [5613] transgressors [3848]. 59 2 10 For [1063] whosoever [3748] shall keep [5083] the whole [3650] law [3551], and yet [1161] offend [4417] in [1722] one [1520] point, he is [1096] guilty [1777] of all [3956]. 59 2 11 For [1063] he that said [2036], Do [3431] not [3361] commit adultery [3431], said [2036] also [2532], Do [5407] not [3361] kill [5407]. Now [1161] if [1487] thou commit [3431] no [3756] adultery [3431], yet if [1161] thou kill [5407], thou art become [1096] a transgressor [3848] of the law [3551]. 59 2 12 So [3779] speak ye [2980], and [2532] so [3779] do [4160], as [5613] they that shall be [3195] judged [2919] by [1223] the law [3551] of liberty [1657]. 59 2 13 For [1063] he shall have judgment [2920] without mercy [448], that hath shewed [4160] no [3361] mercy [1656]; and [2532] mercy [1656] rejoiceth against [2620] judgment [2920]. 59 2 14 What [5101] doth it profit [3786], my [3450] brethren [80], though [1437] a man [5100] say [3004] he hath [2192] faith [4102], and [1161] have [2192] not [3361] works [2041]? can [1410] [3361] faith [4102] save [4982] him [846]? 59 2 15 If [1437] [1161] a brother [80] or [2228] sister [79] be [5225] naked [1131], and [2532] destitute [3007] [5600] of daily [2184] food [5160], 59 2 16 And [1161] one [5100] of [1537] you [5216] say [2036] unto them [846], Depart [5217] in [1722] peace [1515], be ye warmed [2328] and [2532] filled [5526]; notwithstanding [1161] ye give [1325] them [846] not [3361] those things which are needful [2006] to the body [4983]; what [5101] doth it profit [3786]? 59 2 17 Even [2532] so [3779] faith [4102], if [3362] it hath [2192] not [3362] works [2041], is [2076] dead [3498], being alone [2596] [1438]. 59 2 18 Yea [235], a man [5100] may say [2046], Thou [4771] hast [2192] faith [4102], and I [2504] have [2192] works [2041]: shew [1166] me [3427] thy [4675] faith [4102] without [1537] thy [4675] works [2041], and I [2504] will shew [1166] thee [4671] my [3450] faith [4102] by [1537] my [3450] works [2041]. 59 2 19 Thou [4771] believest [4100] that [3754] there is [2076] one [1520] God [2316]; thou doest [4160] well [2573]: the devils [1140] also [2532] believe [4100], and [2532] tremble [5425]. 59 2 20 But [1161] wilt [2309] thou know [1097], O [5599] vain [2756] man [444], that [3754] faith [4102] without [5565] works [2041] is [2076] dead [3498]? 59 2 21 Was [1344] not [3756] Abraham [11] our [2257] father [3962] justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], when he had offered [399] Isaac [2464] his [846] son [5207] upon [1909] the altar [2379]? 59 2 22 Seest thou [991] how [3754] faith [4102] wrought [4903] with his [846] works [2041], and [2532] by [1537] works [2041] was [5048] faith [4102] made perfect [5048]? 59 2 23 And [2532] the scripture [1124] was fulfilled [4137] which saith [3004], [1161] Abraham [11] believed [4100] God [2316], and [2532] it was imputed [3049] unto him [846] for [1519] righteousness [1343]: and [2532] he was called [2564] the Friend [5384] of God [2316]. 59 2 24 Ye see [3708] then [5106] how that [3754] by [1537] works [2041] a man [444] is justified [1344], and [2532] not [3756] by [1537] faith [4102] only [3440]. 59 2 25 Likewise [3668] [1161] also [2532] was [1344] not [3756] Rahab [4460] the harlot [4204] justified [1344] by [1537] works [2041], when she had received [5264] the messengers [32], and [2532] had sent them out [1544] another [2087] way [3598]? 59 2 26 For [1063] as [5618] the body [4983] without [5565] the spirit [4151] is [2076] dead [3498], so [3779] faith [4102] without [5565] works [2041] is [2076] dead [3498] also [2532]. 59 3 1 My [3450] brethren [80], be [1096] not [3361] many [4183] masters [1320], knowing [1492] that [3754] we shall receive [2983] the greater [3187] condemnation [2917]. 59 3 2 For [1063] in many things [4183] we offend [4417] all [537]. If any man [1536] offend [4417] not [3756] in [1722] word [3056], the same [3778] is a perfect [5046] man [435], and able [1415] also [2532] to bridle [5468] the whole [3650] body [4983]. 59 3 3 Behold [2400], we put [906] bits [5469] in [1519] the horses [2462]' mouths [4750], that [4314] they [846] may obey [3982] us [2254]; and [2532] we turn about [3329] their [846] whole [3650] body [4983]. 59 3 4 Behold [2400] also [2532] the ships [4143], which though they be [5607] so great [5082], and [2532] are driven [1643] of [5259] fierce [4642] winds [417], yet are they turned about [3329] with [5259] a very small [1646] helm [4079], whithersoever [3699] [302] the governor [2116] listeth [3730] [1014]. 59 3 5 Even [2532] so [3779] the tongue [1100] is [2076] a little [3398] member [3196], and [2532] boasteth great things [3166]. Behold [2400], how great [2245] a matter [5208] a little [3641] fire [4442] kindleth [381] ! 59 3 6 And [2532] the tongue [1100] is a fire [4442], a world [2889] of iniquity [93]: so [3779] is [2525] the tongue [1100] among [1722] our [2257] members [3196], that it defileth [4695] the whole [3650] body [4983], and [2532] setteth on fire [5394] the course [5164] of nature [1078]; and [2532] it is set on fire [5394] of [5259] hell [1067]. 59 3 7 For [1063] every [3956] kind [5449] of beasts [2342], and [5037] [2532] of birds [4071], and [5037] of serpents [2062], and [2532] of things in the sea [1724], is tamed [1150], and [2532] hath been tamed [1150] of mankind [5449] [442]: 59 3 8 But [1161] the tongue [1100] can [1410] no [3762] man [444] tame [1150]; it is an unruly [183] evil [2556], full [3324] of deadly [2287] poison [2447]. 59 3 9 Therewith [1722] [846] bless we [2127] God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962]; and [2532] therewith [1722] [846] curse we [2672] men [444], which [3588] are made [1096] after [2596] the similitude [3669] of God [2316]. 59 3 10 Out of [1537] the same [846] mouth [4750] proceedeth [1831] blessing [2129] and [2532] cursing [2671]. My [3450] brethren [80], these things [5023] ought [5534] not [3756] so [3779] to be [1096]. 59 3 11 Doth [3385] a fountain [4077] send forth [1032] at [1537] the same [846] place [3692] sweet [1099] water and [2532] bitter [4089]? 59 3 12 Can [3361] [1410] the fig tree [4808], my [3450] brethren [80], bear [4160] olive berries [1636]? either [2228] a vine [288], figs [4810]? so [3779] can no [3762] fountain [4077] both yield [4160] salt [252] water [5204] and [2532] fresh [1099]. 59 3 13 Who [5101] is a wise man [4680] and [2532] endued with knowledge [1990] among [1722] you [5213]? let him shew [1166] out of [1537] a good [2570] conversation [391] his [846] works [2041] with [1722] meekness [4240] of wisdom [4678]. 59 3 14 But [1161] if [1487] ye have [2192] bitter [4089] envying [2205] and [2532] strife [2052] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588], glory [2620] not [3361], and [2532] lie not [5574] against [2596] the truth [225]. 59 3 15 This [3778] wisdom [4678] descendeth [2076] [2718] not [3756] from above [509], but [235] is earthly [1919], sensual [5591], devilish [1141]. 59 3 16 For [1063] where [3699] envying [2205] and [2532] strife [2052] is, there [1563] is confusion [181] and [2532] every [3956] evil [5337] work [4229]. 59 3 17 But [1161] the wisdom [4678] that is from above [509] is [2076] first [4412] pure [3303] [53], then [1899] peaceable [1516], gentle [1933], and easy to be intreated [2138], full [3324] of mercy [1656] and [2532] good [18] fruits [2590], without partiality [87], and [2532] without hypocrisy [505]. 59 3 18 And [1161] the fruit [2590] of righteousness [1343] is sown [4687] in [1722] peace [1515] of them that make [4160] peace [1515]. 59 4 1 From whence [4159] come wars [4171] and [2532] fightings [3163] among [1722] you [5213]? come they not [3756] hence [1782], even of [1537] your [5216] lusts [2237] that war [4754] in [1722] your [5216] members [3196]? 59 4 2 Ye lust [1937], and [2532] have [2192] not [3756]: ye kill [5407], and [2532] desire to have [2206], and [2532] cannot [3756] [1410] obtain [2013]: ye fight [3164] and [2532] war [4170], yet [1161] ye have [2192] not [3756], because [1223] ye [5209] ask [154] not [3361]. 59 4 3 Ye ask [154], and [2532] receive [2983] not [3756], because [1360] ye ask [154] amiss [2560], that [2443] ye may consume [1159] it upon [1722] your [5216] lusts [2237]. 59 4 4 Ye adulterers [3432] and [2532] adulteresses [3428], know ye [1492] not [3756] that [3754] the friendship [5373] of the world [2889] is [2076] enmity [2189] with God [2316]? whosoever [3739] [302] therefore [3767] will be [1511] [1014] a friend [5384] of the world [2889] is [2525] the enemy [2190] of God [2316]. 59 4 5 [2228] Do ye think [1380] that [3754] the scripture [1124] saith [3004] in vain [2761], The spirit [4151] that [3739] dwelleth [2730] in [1722] us [2254] lusteth [1971] to [4314] envy [5355]? 59 4 6 But [1161] he giveth [1325] more [3187] grace [5485]. Wherefore [1352] he saith [3004], God [2316] resisteth [498] the proud [5244], but [1161] giveth [1325] grace [5485] unto the humble [5011]. 59 4 7 Submit yourselves [5293] therefore [3767] to God [2316]. Resist [436] the devil [1228], and [2532] he will flee [5343] from [575] you [5216]. 59 4 8 Draw nigh [1448] to God [2316], and [2532] he will draw nigh [1448] to you [5213]. Cleanse [2511] your hands [5495], ye sinners [268]; and [2532] purify [48] your hearts [2588], ye double minded [1374]. 59 4 9 Be afflicted [5003], and [2532] mourn [3996], and [2532] weep [2799]: let your [5216] laughter [1071] be turned [3344] to [1519] mourning [3997], and [2532] your joy [5479] to [1519] heaviness [2726]. 59 4 10 Humble yourselves [5013] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] he shall lift [5312] you [5209] up [5312]. 59 4 11 Speak [2635] not [3361] evil [2635] one of another [240], brethren [80]. He that speaketh evil [2635] of his brother [80], and [2532] judgeth [2919] his [846] brother [80], speaketh evil [2635] of the law [3551], and [2532] judgeth [2919] the law [3551]: but [1161] if [1487] thou judge [2919] the law [3551], thou art [1488] not [3756] a doer [4163] of the law [3551], but [235] a judge [2923]. 59 4 12 There is [2076] one [1520] lawgiver [3550], who [3588] is able [1410] to save [4982] and [2532] to destroy [622]: who [5101] art [1488] thou [4771] that [3739] judgest [2919] another [2087]? 59 4 13 Go to [33] now [3568], ye that say [3004], To day [4594] or [2532] to morrow [839] we will go [4198] into [1519] such [3592] a city [4172], and [2532] continue [4160] [4160] there [1563] a [1520] year [1763], and [2532] buy and sell [1710] [1710], and [2532] get gain [2770] [2770]: 59 4 14 Whereas [3748] ye know [1987] not [3756] what [3588] shall be on the morrow [839]. For [1063] what [4169] is your [5216] life [2222]? It is [2076] even [1063] a vapour [822], that [4314] appeareth for [5316] a little time [3641], and [1161] then [1899] vanisheth away [853]. 59 4 15 For that [473] ye [5209] ought to say [3004], If [1437] the Lord [2962] will [2309], [2532] we shall live [2198] [2198], and [2532] do [4160] [4160] this [5124], or [2228] that [1565]. 59 4 16 But [1161] now [3568] ye rejoice [2744] in [1722] your [5216] boastings [212]: all [3956] such [5108] rejoicing [2746] is [2076] evil [4190]. 59 4 17 Therefore [3767] to him that knoweth [1492] to do [4160] good [2570], and [2532] doeth [4160] it not [3361], to him [846] it is [2076] sin [266]. 59 5 1 Go to [33] now [3568], ye rich men [4145], weep [2799] and howl [3649] for [1909] your [5216] miseries [5004] that shall come upon [1904] you. 59 5 2 Your [5216] riches [4149] are corrupted [4595], and [2532] your [5216] garments [2440] are [1096] motheaten [4598]. 59 5 3 Your [5216] gold [5557] and [2532] silver [696] is cankered [2728]; and [2532] the rust [2447] of them [846] shall be [2071] a witness [3142] against [1519] you [5213], and [2532] shall eat [5315] your [5216] flesh [4561] as it were [5613] fire [4442]. Ye have heaped treasure together [2343] for [1722] the last [2078] days [2250]. 59 5 4 Behold [2400], the hire [3408] of the labourers [2040] who [3588] have reaped down [270] your [5216] fields [5561], which [3588] is of [575] you [5216] kept back by fraud [650], crieth [2896]: and [2532] the cries [995] of them which have reaped [2325] are entered [1525] into [1519] the ears [3775] of the Lord [2962] of sabaoth [4519]. 59 5 5 Ye have lived in pleasure [5171] on [1909] the earth [1093], and [2532] been wanton [4684]; ye have nourished [5142] your [5216] hearts [2588], as [5613] in [1722] a day [2250] of slaughter [4967]. 59 5 6 Ye have condemned [2613] and killed [5407] the just [1342]; and he doth [498] not [3756] resist [498] you [5213]. 59 5 7 Be patient [3114] therefore [3767], brethren [80], unto [2193] the coming [3952] of the Lord [2962]. Behold [2400], the husbandman [1092] waiteth [1551] for the precious [5093] fruit [2590] of the earth [1093], and hath long patience [3114] for [1909] it [846], until [2193] [302] he receive [2983] the early [4406] and [2532] latter [3797] rain [5205]. 59 5 8 Be [3114] ye [5210] also [2532] patient [3114]; stablish [4741] your [5216] hearts [2588]: for [3754] the coming [3952] of the Lord [2962] draweth nigh [1448]. 59 5 9 Grudge [4727] not [3361] one against another [2596] [240], brethren [80], lest [3363] ye be condemned [2632]: behold [2400], the judge [2923] standeth [2476] before [4253] the door [2374]. 59 5 10 Take [2983], my [3450] brethren [80], the prophets [4396], who [3739] have spoken [2980] in the name [3686] of the Lord [2962], for an example [5262] of suffering affliction [2552], and [2532] of patience [3115]. 59 5 11 Behold [2400], we count them happy [3106] which endure [5278]. Ye have heard [191] of the patience [5281] of Job [2492], and [2532] have seen [1492] the end [5056] of the Lord [2962]; that [3754] the Lord [2962] is [2076] very pitiful [4184], and [2532] of tender mercy [3629]. 59 5 12 But [1161] above [4253] all things [3956], my [3450] brethren [80], swear [3660] not [3361], neither [3383] by heaven [3772], neither [3383] by the earth [1093], neither [3383] by any [5100] other [243] oath [3727]: but [1161] let [2277] your [5216] yea [3483] be [2277] yea [3483]; and [2532] your nay [3756], nay [3756]; lest [3363] ye fall [4098] into [1519] condemnation [5272]. 59 5 13 Is [2553] any [5100] among [1722] you [5213] afflicted [2553]? let him pray [4336]. Is [2114] any [5100] merry [2114]? let him sing psalms [5567]. 59 5 14 Is [770] any [5100] sick [770] among [1722] you [5213]? let him call [4341] for the elders [4245] of the church [1577]; and [2532] let them pray [4336] over [1909] him [846], anointing [218] him [846] with oil [1637] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]: 59 5 15 And [2532] the prayer [2171] of faith [4102] shall save [4982] the sick [2577], and [2532] the Lord [2962] shall raise [1453] him [846] up [1453]; and if [2579] he have [5600] committed [4160] sins [266], they shall be forgiven [863] him [846]. 59 5 16 Confess [1843] your faults [3900] one to another [240], and [2532] pray [2172] one [240] for [5228] another [240], that [3704] ye may be healed [2390]. The effectual fervent [1754] prayer [1162] of a righteous man [1342] availeth [2480] much [4183]. 59 5 17 Elias [2243] was [2258] a man [444] subject to like passions as [3663] we are [2254], and [2532] he prayed [4336] earnestly [4335] that it might [1026] not [3361] rain [1026]: and [2532] it rained [1026] not [3756] on [1909] the earth [1093] by the space of three [5140] years [1763] and [2532] six [1803] months [3376]. 59 5 18 And [2532] he prayed [4336] again [3825], and [2532] the heaven [3772] gave [1325] rain [5205], and [2532] the earth [1093] brought forth [985] her [846] fruit [2590]. 59 5 19 Brethren [80], if [1437] any [5100] of [1722] you [5213] do err [4105] from [575] the truth [225], and [2532] one [5100] convert [1994] him [846]; 59 5 20 Let [1097] him [846] know [1097], that [3754] he which converteth [1994] the sinner [268] from [1537] the error [4106] of his [846] way [3598] shall save [4982] a soul [5590] from [1537] death [2288], and [2532] shall hide [2572] a multitude [4128] of sins [266]. 60 1 1 Peter [4074], an apostle [652] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to the strangers [3927] scattered [1290] throughout Pontus [4195], Galatia [1053], Cappadocia [2587], Asia [773], and [2532] Bithynia [978], 60 1 2 Elect [1588] according [2596] to the foreknowledge [4268] of God [2316] the Father [3962], through [1722] sanctification [38] of the Spirit [4151], unto [1519] obedience [5218] and [2532] sprinkling [4473] of the blood [129] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: Grace [5485] unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], be multiplied [4129]. 60 1 3 Blessed [2128] be the God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which [3588] according to [2596] his [846] abundant [4183] mercy [1656] hath begotten [313] us [2248] again [313] unto [1519] a lively [2198] hope [1680] by [1223] the resurrection [386] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] from [1537] the dead [3498], 60 1 4 To [1519] an inheritance [2817] incorruptible [862], and [2532] undefiled [283], and [2532] that fadeth not away [263], reserved [5083] in [1722] heaven [3772] for [1519] you [5209], 60 1 5 Who [3588] are kept [5432] by [1722] the power [1411] of God [2316] through [1223] faith [4102] unto [1519] salvation [4991] ready [2092] to be revealed [601] in [1722] the last [2078] time [2540]. 60 1 6 Wherein [1722] [3739] ye greatly rejoice [21], though now [737] for a season [3641], if [1487] need [1163] be [2076], ye are in heaviness [3076] through [1722] manifold [4164] temptations [3986]: 60 1 7 That [2443] the trial [1383] of your [5216] faith [4102], being much [4183] more precious [5093] than of gold [5553] that perisheth [622], though [1223] [1161] it be tried [1381] with fire [4442], might be found [2147] unto [1519] praise [1868] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391] at [1722] the appearing [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: 60 1 8 Whom [3739] having [1492] not [3756] seen [1492] [1492], ye love [25]; in [1519] whom [3739], though now [737] ye see [3708] him not [3361], yet [1161] believing [4100], ye rejoice [21] with joy [5479] unspeakable [412] and [2532] full of glory [1392]: 60 1 9 Receiving [2865] the end [5056] of your [5216] faith [4102], even the salvation [4991] of your souls [5590]. 60 1 10 Of [4012] which [3739] salvation [4991] the prophets [4396] have enquired [1567] and [2532] searched diligently [1830], who [3588] prophesied [4395] of [4012] the grace [5485] that should come unto [1519] you [5209]: 60 1 11 Searching [2045] what [1519] [5101], or [2228] what manner [4169] of time [2540] the Spirit [4151] of Christ [5547] which [3588] was in [1722] them [846] did signify [1213], when it testified beforehand [4303] the sufferings [3804] of [1519] Christ [5547], and [2532] the glory [1391] that should follow [3326] [5023]. 60 1 12 Unto whom [3739] it was revealed [601], that [3754] not [3756] unto themselves [1438], but [1161] unto us [2254] they did minister [1247] the things [846], which [3739] are [312] now [3568] reported [312] unto you [5213] by [1223] them that have preached the gospel [2097] unto you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] sent down [649] from [575] heaven [3772]; which things [3739] the angels [32] desire [1937] to look [3879] into [1519]. 60 1 13 Wherefore [1352] gird up [328] the loins [3751] of your [5216] mind [1271], be sober [3525], and hope [1679] to the end [5049] for [1909] the grace [5485] that is to be brought [5342] unto you [5213] at [1722] the revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; 60 1 14 As [5613] obedient [5218] children [5043], not [3361] fashioning yourselves according to [4964] the former [4386] lusts [1939] in [1722] your [5216] ignorance [52]: 60 1 15 But [235] as [2596] he which hath called [2564] you [5209] is holy [40], so [2532] be [1096] ye [846] holy [40] in [1722] all [3956] manner of conversation [391]; 60 1 16 Because [1360] it is written [1125], Be ye [1096] holy [40]; for [3754] I [1473] am [1510] holy [40]. 60 1 17 And [2532] if [1487] ye call on [1941] the Father [3962], who [3588] without respect of persons [678] judgeth [2919] according to [2596] every man's [1538] work [2041], pass [390] the time [5550] of your [5216] sojourning [3940] here in [1722] fear [5401]: 60 1 18 Forasmuch as ye know [1492] that [3754] ye were [3084] not [3756] redeemed [3084] with corruptible things [5349], as silver [694] and [2228] gold [5553], from [1537] your [5216] vain [3152] conversation [391] received by tradition from your fathers [3970]; 60 1 19 But [235] with the precious [5093] blood [129] of Christ [5547], as [5613] of a lamb [286] without blemish [299] and [2532] without spot [784]: 60 1 20 Who verily [3303] was foreordained [4267] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], but [1161] was manifest [5319] in [1909] these last [2078] times [5550] for [1223] you [5209], 60 1 21 Who [3588] by [1223] him [846] do believe [4100] in [1519] God [2316], that raised [1453] him [846] up [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] gave [1325] him [846] glory [1391]; that [5620] your [5216] faith [4102] and [2532] hope [1680] might be [1511] in [1519] God [2316]. 60 1 22 Seeing ye have purified [48] your [5216] souls [5590] in [1722] obeying [5218] the truth [225] through [1223] the Spirit [4151] unto [1519] unfeigned [505] love of the brethren [5360], see that ye love [25] one another [240] with [1537] a pure [2513] heart [2588] fervently [1619]: 60 1 23 Being born again [313], not [3756] of [1537] corruptible [5349] seed [4701], but [235] of incorruptible [862], by [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], which liveth [2198] and [2532] abideth [3306] for [1519] ever [165]. 60 1 24 For [1360] all [3956] flesh [4561] is as [5613] grass [5528], and [2532] all [3956] the glory [1391] of man [444] as [5613] the flower [438] of grass [5528]. The grass [5528] withereth [3583], and [2532] the flower [438] thereof [846] falleth away [1601]: 60 1 25 But [1161] the word [4487] of the Lord [2962] endureth [3306] for [1519] ever [165]. And [1161] this [5124] is [2076] the word [4487] which [3588] by the gospel is preached [2097] unto [1519] you [5209]. 60 2 1 Wherefore [3767] laying aside [659] all [3956] malice [2549], and [2532] all [3956] guile [1388], and [2532] hypocrisies [5272], and [2532] envies [5355], and [2532] all [3956] evil speakings [2636], 60 2 2 As [5613] newborn [738] babes [1025], desire [1971] the sincere [97] milk [1051] of the word [3050], that [2443] ye may grow [837] thereby [1722] [846]: 60 2 3 If so be [1512] ye have tasted [1089] that [3754] the Lord [2962] is gracious [5543]. 60 2 4 To [4314] whom [3739] coming [4334], as unto a living [2198] stone [3037], disallowed [593] indeed [3303] of [5259] men [444], but [1161] chosen [1588] of [3844] God [2316], and precious [1784], 60 2 5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 60 2 6 Wherefore [1352] also [2532] it is contained [4023] in [1722] the scripture [1124], Behold [2400], I lay [5087] in [1722] Sion [4622] a chief corner [204] stone [3037], elect [1588], precious [1784]: and [2532] he that believeth [4100] on [1909] him [846] shall [2617] not be [3364] confounded [2617]. 60 2 7 Unto you [5213] therefore [3767] which [3588] believe [4100] he is precious [5092]: but [1161] unto them which be disobedient [544], the stone [3037] which [3739] the builders [3618] disallowed [593], the same [3778] is made [1096] [1519] the head [2776] of the corner [1137], 60 2 8 And [2532] a stone [3037] of stumbling [4348], and [2532] a rock [4073] of offence [4625], even to them which [3739] stumble [4350] at the word [3056], being disobedient [544]: whereunto [1519] [3739] also [2532] they were appointed [5087]. 60 2 9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]: 60 2 10 Which [3588] in time past [4218] were not [3756] a people [2992], but [1161] are now [3568] the people [2992] of God [2316]: which [3588] had [1653] not [3756] obtained mercy [1653], but [1161] now [3568] have obtained mercy [1653]. 60 2 11 Dearly beloved [27], I beseech [3870] you as [5613] strangers [3941] and [2532] pilgrims [3927], abstain from [567] fleshly [4559] lusts [1939], which [3748] war [4754] against [2596] the soul [5590]; 60 2 12 Having [2192] your [5216] conversation [391] honest [2570] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484]: that [2443], whereas [1722] [3739] they speak against [2635] you [5216] as [5613] evildoers [2555], they may [1392] by [1537] your good [2570] works [2041], which they shall behold [2029], glorify [1392] God [2316] in [1722] the day [2250] of visitation [1984]. 60 2 13 [3767] Submit yourselves [5293] to every [3956] ordinance [2937] of man [442] for [1223] the Lord's sake [2962]: whether it be [1535] to the king [935], as [5613] supreme [5242]; 60 2 14 Or [1535] unto governors [2232], as [5613] unto them that are sent [3992] by [1223] him [846] for [1519] [3303] the punishment [1557] of evildoers [2555], and [1161] for the praise [1868] of them that do well [17]. 60 2 15 For [3754] so [3779] is [2076] the will [2307] of God [2316], that with well doing [15] ye may put to silence [5392] the ignorance [56] of foolish [878] men [444]: 60 2 16 As [5613] free [1658], and [2532] not [3361] using [2192] your liberty [1657] for [5613] a cloke [1942] of maliciousness [2549], but [235] as [5613] the servants [1401] of God [2316]. 60 2 17 Honour [5091] all [3956] men.

Amen [281]. 60 4 12 Beloved [27], think it [3579] not [3361] strange [3579] concerning the [5213] fiery trial [4451] which [1722] is [1096] to [4314] try [3986] you [5213], as [5613] though some strange thing [3581] happened [4819] unto you [5213]: 60 4 13 But [235] rejoice [5463], inasmuch as [2526] ye are partakers [2841] of Christ's [5547] sufferings [3804]; that [2443], when [1722] his [846] glory [1391] shall be revealed [602], ye may be glad [5463] also [2532] with exceeding joy [21]. 60 4 14 If [1487] ye be reproached [3679] for [1722] the name [3686] of Christ [5547], happy [3107] are ye; for [3754] the spirit [4151] of glory [1391] and [2532] of God [2316] resteth [373] upon [1909] you [5209]: on [2596] [3303] their part [846] he is evil spoken of [987], but [1161] on [2596] your part [5209] he is glorified [1392]. 60 4 15 But [1063] let [3958] none [3361] [5100] of you [5216] suffer [3958] as [5613] a murderer [5406], or [2228] as a thief [2812], or [2228] as an evildoer [2555], or [2228] as [5613] a busybody in other men's matters [244]. 60 4 16 Yet [1161] if [1487] any man suffer as [5613] a Christian [5546], let him [153] not [3361] be ashamed [153]; but [1161] let him glorify [1392] God [2316] on [1722] this [5129] behalf [3313]. 60 4 17 For [3754] the time [2540] is come that judgment [2917] must begin [756] at [575] the house [3624] of God [2316]: and [1161] if [1487] it first [4412] begin at [575] us [2257], what [5101] shall the end [5056] be of them that obey not [544] the gospel [2098] of God [2316]? 60 4 18 And [2532] if [1487] the righteous [1342] scarcely [3433] be saved [4982], where [4226] shall [5316] the ungodly [765] and [2532] the sinner [268] appear [5316]? 60 4 19 Wherefore [5620] [2532] let [3908] them that suffer [3958] according to [2596] the will [2307] of God [2316] commit the keeping [3908] of their [1438] souls [5590] to him in [1722] well doing [16], as [5613] unto a faithful [4103] Creator [2939]. 60 5 1 The elders [4245] which are among [1722] you [5213] I exhort [3870], who [3588] am also an elder [4850], and [2532] a witness [3144] of the sufferings [3804] of Christ [5547], and also [2532] a partaker [2844] of the glory [1391] that shall [3195] be revealed [601]: 60 5 2 Feed [4165] the flock [4168] of God [2316] which is among [1722] you [5213], taking the oversight [1983] thereof, not [3361] by constraint [317], but [235] willingly [1596]; not [3366] for filthy lucre [147], but [235] of a ready mind [4290]; 60 5 3 Neither [3366] as [5613] being lords over [2634] God's heritage [2819], but [235] being [1096] ensamples [5179] to the flock [4168]. 60 5 4 And [2532] when the chief Shepherd [750] shall appear [5319], ye shall receive [2865] a crown [4735] of glory [1391] that fadeth not away [262]. 60 5 5 Likewise [3668], ye younger [3501], submit yourselves [5293] unto the elder [4245]. Yea [1161], all [3956] of you be subject [5293] one to another [240], and be clothed [1463] with humility [5012]: for [3754] God [2316] resisteth [498] the proud [5244], and [1161] giveth [1325] grace [5485] to the humble [5011]. 60 5 6 Humble yourselves [5013] therefore [3767] under [5259] the mighty [2900] hand [5495] of God [2316], that [2443] he may exalt [5312] you [5209] in [1722] due time [2540]: 60 5 7 Casting [1977] all [3956] your [5216] care [3308] upon [1909] him [846]; for [3754] he [846] careth [3199] for [4012] you [5216]. 60 5 8 Be sober [3525], be vigilant [1127]; because [3754] your [5216] adversary [476] the devil [1228], as [5613] a roaring [5612] lion [3023], walketh about [4043], seeking [2212] whom [5101] he may devour [2666]: 60 5 9 Whom [3739] resist [436] stedfast [4731] in the faith [4102], knowing [1492] that the same [846] afflictions [3804] are accomplished [2005] in your [5216] brethren [81] that are in [1722] the world [2889]. 60 5 10 But [1161] the God [2316] of all [3956] grace [5485], who [3588] hath called [2564] us [2248] unto [1519] his [846] eternal [166] glory [1391] by [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], after that ye have suffered [3958] a while [3641], [846] make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675], stablish [4741], strengthen [4599], settle [2311] you. 60 5 11 To him [846] be glory [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].

and [1161] to [1722] virtue [703] knowledge [1108]; 61 1 6 And [1161] to [1722] knowledge [1108] temperance [1466]; and [1161] to [1722] temperance [1466] patience [5281]; and [1161] to [1722] patience [5281] godliness [2150]; 61 1 7 And [1161] to [1722] godliness [2150] brotherly kindness [5360]; and [1161] to [1722] brotherly kindness [5360] charity [26]. 61 1 8 For [1063] if these things [5023] be [5225] in you [5213], and [2532] abound [4121], they make [2525] you that ye shall neither [3756] be barren [692] nor [3761] unfruitful [175] in [1519] the knowledge [1922] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 61 1 9 But [1063] he that [3739] lacketh [3361] [3918] these things [5023] is [2076] blind [5185], and cannot see afar off [3467], and hath forgotten [3024] [2983] that he was purged from [2512] his [846] old [3819] sins [266]. 61 1 10 Wherefore [1352] the rather [3123], brethren [80], give diligence [4704] to make [4160] your [5216] calling [2821] and [2532] election [1589] sure [949]: for [1063] if ye do [4160] these things [5023], ye shall [4218] [4417] never [3364] fall [4218] [4417]: 61 1 11 For [1063] so [3779] an entrance [1529] shall be ministered [2023] unto you [5213] abundantly [4146] into [1519] the everlasting [166] kingdom [932] of our [2257] Lord [2962] and [2532] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 61 1 12 Wherefore [1352] I will [272] not [3756] be negligent [272] to put [5279] you [5209] always [104] in remembrance [5279] of [4012] these things [5130], though [2539] ye know [1492] them, and [2532] be established [4741] in [1722] the present [3918] truth [225]. 61 1 13 Yea [1161], I think it [2233] meet [1342], as long as [1909] [3745] I am [1510] in [1722] this [5129] tabernacle [4638], to stir [1326] you [5209] up [1326] by [1722] putting you in remembrance [5280]; 61 1 14 Knowing [1492] that [3754] shortly [5031] I must [2076] put off [595] this my [3450] tabernacle [4638], even [2532] as [2531] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] hath shewed [1213] me [3427]. 61 1 15 Moreover [1161] [2532] I will endeavour [4704] that ye [5209] may be able [2192] after [3326] my [1699] decease [1841] to have [4160] these things [5130] always [1539] in remembrance [3420]. 61 1 16 For [1063] we have [1811] not [3756] followed [1811] cunningly devised [4679] fables [3454], when we made known [1107] unto you [5213] the power [1411] and [2532] coming [3952] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], but [235] were [1096] eyewitnesses [2030] of his [1565] majesty [3168]. 61 1 17 For [1063] he received [2983] from [3844] God [2316] the Father [3962] honour [5092] and [2532] glory [1391], when there came [5342] such [5107] a voice [5456] to him [846] from [5259] the excellent [3169] glory [1391], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1519] whom [3739] I [1473] am well pleased [2106]. 61 1 18 And [2532] this [5026] voice [5456] which came [5342] from [1537] heaven [3772] we [2249] heard [191], when we were [5607] with [4862] him [846] in [1722] the holy [40] mount [3735]. 61 1 19 We have [2192] also [2532] a more sure [949] word [3056] of prophecy [4397]; whereunto [3739] ye do [4160] well [2573] that ye take heed [4337], as [5613] unto a light [3088] that shineth [5316] in [1722] a dark [850] place [5117], until [2193] [3739] the day [2250] dawn [1306], and [2532] the day star [5459] arise [393] in [1722] your [5216] hearts [2588]: 61 1 20 Knowing [1097] this [5124] first [4412], that [3754] no [3756] [3956] prophecy [4394] of the scripture [1124] is [1096] of any private [2398] interpretation [1955]. 61 1 21 For [1063] the prophecy [4394] came [5342] not [3756] in old time [4218] by the will [2307] of man [444]: but [235] holy [40] men [444] of God [2316] spake [2980] as they were moved [5342] by [5259] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]. 61 2 1 But [1161] there were [1096] false prophets [5578] also [2532] among [1722] the people [2992], even [2532] as [5613] there shall be [2071] false teachers [5572] among [1722] you [5213], who [3748] privily shall bring in [3919] damnable [684] heresies [139], even [2532] denying [720] the Lord [1203] that bought [59] them [846], and bring [1863] upon themselves [1438] swift [5031] destruction [684]. 61 2 2 And [2532] many [4183] shall follow [1811] their [846] pernicious ways [684]; by reason of [1223] whom [3739] the way [3598] of truth [225] shall be evil spoken of [987]. 61 2 3 And [2532] through [1722] covetousness [4124] shall they with feigned [4112] words [3056] make merchandise [1710] of you [5209]: whose [3739] judgment [2917] now of a long time [1597] lingereth [691] not [3756], and [2532] their [846] damnation [684] slumbereth [3573] not [3756]. 61 2 4 For [1063] if [1487] God [2316] spared [5339] not [3756] the angels [32] that sinned [264], but [235] cast them down to hell [5020], and delivered [3860] them into chains [4577] of darkness [2217], to be reserved [5083] unto [1519] judgment [2920]; 61 2 5 And [2532] spared [5339] not [3756] the old [744] world [2889], but [235] saved [5442] Noah [3575] the eighth [3590] person, a preacher [2783] of righteousness [1343], bringing in [1863] the flood [2627] upon the world [2889] of the ungodly [765]; 61 2 6 And [2532] turning [5077] the cities [4172] of Sodom [4670] and [2532] Gomorrha [1116] into ashes [5077] condemned [2632] them with an overthrow [2692], making [5087] them an ensample [5262] unto those that after should [3195] live ungodly [764]; 61 2 7 And [2532] delivered [4506] just [1342] Lot [3091], vexed [2669] with [5259] the filthy [766] conversation [391] of [1722] the wicked [113]: 61 2 8 (For [1063] that righteous man [1342] dwelling [1460] among [1722] them [846], in seeing [990] and [2532] hearing [189], vexed [928] his righteous [1342] soul [5590] from day [2250] to [1537] day [2250] with their unlawful [459] deeds [2041];) 61 2 9 The Lord [2962] knoweth [1492] how to deliver [4506] the godly [2152] out of [1537] temptations [3986], and [1161] to reserve [5083] the unjust [94] unto [1519] the day [2250] of judgment [2920] to be punished [2849]: 61 2 10 But [1161] chiefly [3122] them that walk [4198] after [3694] the flesh [4561] in [1722] the lust [1939] of uncleanness [3394], and [2532] despise [2706] government [2963]. Presumptuous [5113] are they, selfwilled [829], they are not [3756] afraid [5141] to speak evil [987] of dignities [1391]. 61 2 11 Whereas [3699] angels [32], which are [5607] greater in [3187] power [2479] and [2532] might [1411], bring [5342] not [3756] railing [989] accusation [2920] against [2596] them [846] before [3844] the Lord [2962]. 61 2 12 But [1161] these [3778], as [5613] natural [5446] brute [249] beasts [2226], made [1080] to [1519] be taken [259] and [2532] destroyed [5356], speak evil [987] of [1722] the things that [3739] they understand not [50]; and shall utterly perish [2704] in [1722] their own [846] corruption [5356]; 61 2 13 And shall receive [2865] the reward [3408] of unrighteousness [93], as they that count [2233] it pleasure [2237] to riot [5172] in [1722] the day time [2250]. Spots [4696] they are and [2532] blemishes [3470], sporting themselves [1792] with [1722] their own [846] deceivings [539] while they feast [4910] with you [5213]; 61 2 14 Having [2192] eyes [3788] full [3324] of adultery [3428], and [2532] that cannot cease from [180] sin [266]; beguiling [1185] unstable [793] souls [5590]: an heart [2588] they have [2192] exercised [1128] with covetous practices [4124]; cursed [2671] children [5043]: 61 2 15 Which have forsaken [2641] the right [2117] way [3598], and are gone astray [4105], following [1811] the way [3598] of Balaam [903] the son of Bosor [1007], who [3739] loved [25] the wages [3408] of unrighteousness [93]; 61 2 16 But [1161] was [2192] rebuked [1649] for his [2398] iniquity [3892]: the dumb [880] ass [5268] speaking [5350] with [1722] man's [444] voice [5456] forbad [2967] the madness [3913] of the prophet [4396]. 61 2 17 These [3778] are [1526] wells [4077] without water [504], clouds [3507] that are carried [1643] with [5259] a tempest [2978]; to whom [3739] the mist [2217] of darkness [4655] is reserved [5083] for [1519] ever [165]. 61 2 18 For [1063] when they speak [5350] great swelling [5246] words of vanity [3153], they allure [1185] through [1722] the lusts [1939] of the flesh [4561], through much wantonness [766], those that were clean [3689] escaped [668] from them who live [390] in [1722] error [4106]. 61 2 19 While they promise [1861] them [846] liberty [1657], they themselves [846] are [5225] the servants [1401] of corruption [5356]: for [1063] of whom [3739] a man [5100] is overcome [2274], [2532] of the same [5129] is he brought in bondage [1402]. 61 2 20 For [1063] if [1487] after they have escaped [668] the pollutions [3393] of the world [2889] through [1722] the knowledge [1922] of the Lord [2962] and [2532] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], they are [1707] again [3825] entangled [1707] therein [5125], and [1161] overcome [1096] [2274], the latter end [2078] is worse [5501] with them [846] than the beginning [4413]. 61 2 21 For [1063] it had been [2258] better [2909] for them [846] not [3361] to have known [1921] the way [3598] of righteousness [1343], than [2228], after they have known [1921] it, to turn [1994] from [1537] the holy [40] commandment [1785] delivered [3860] unto them [846]. 61 2 22 But [1161] it is happened [4819] unto them [846] according to [3588] the true [227] proverb [3942], The dog [2965] is turned [1994] to [1909] his own [2398] vomit [1829] again [1994]; and [2532] the sow [5300] that was washed [3068] to [1519] her wallowing [2946] in the mire [1004]. 61 3 1 This [5026] second [1208] epistle [1992], beloved [27], I [1125] now [2235] write [1125] unto you [5213]; in [1722] both which [3739] I stir up [1326] your [5216] pure [1506] minds [1271] by way [1722] of remembrance [5280]: 61 3 2 That ye may be mindful [3415] of the words [4487] which were spoken before [4280] by [5259] the holy [40] prophets [4396], and [2532] of the commandment [1785] of us [2257] the apostles [652] of the Lord [2962] and [2532] Saviour [4990]: 61 3 3 Knowing [1097] this [5124] first [4412], that [3754] there shall come [2064] in [1909] the last [2078] days [2250] scoffers [1703], walking [4198] after [2596] their [846] own [2398] lusts [1939], 61 3 4 And [2532] saying [3004], Where [4226] is [2076] the promise [1860] of his [846] coming [3952]? for [1063] since [575] [3739] the fathers [3962] fell asleep [2837], all things [3956] continue [3779] [1265] as they were from [575] the beginning [746] of the creation [2937]. 61 3 5 For [1063] this [5124] they [846] willingly [2309] are ignorant of [2990], that [3754] by the word [3056] of God [2316] the heavens [3772] were [2258] of old [1597], and [2532] the earth [1093] standing out [4921] of [1537] the water [5204] and [2532] in [1223] the water [5204]: 61 3 6 Whereby [1223] [3739] the world [2889] that then was [5119], being overflowed [2626] with water [5204], perished [622]: 61 3 7 But [1161] the heavens [3772] and [2532] the earth [1093], which are now [3568], by the same [846] word [3056] are [1526] kept in store [2343], reserved [5083] unto fire [4442] against [1519] the day [2250] of judgment [2920] and [2532] perdition [684] of ungodly [765] men [444]. 61 3 8 But [1161], beloved [27], be [2990] not [3361] [5209] ignorant [2990] of this one [1520] thing [5124], that [3754] one [3391] day [2250] is with [3844] the Lord [2962] as [5613] a thousand [5507] years [2094], and [2532] a thousand [5507] years [2094] as [5613] one [3391] day [2250]. 61 3 9 The Lord [2962] is [1019] not [3756] slack [1019] concerning his promise [1860], as [5613] some men [5100] count [2233] slackness [1022]; but [235] is longsuffering [3114] to [1519] us-ward [2248], not [3361] willing [1014] that any [5100] should perish [622], but [235] that all [3956] should come [5562] to [1519] repentance [3341]. 61 3 10 But [1161] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] will come [2240] as [5613] a thief [2812] in [1722] the night [3571]; in [1722] the which [3739] the heavens [3772] shall pass away [3928] with a great noise [4500], and [1161] the elements [4747] shall melt [3089] with fervent heat [2741], the earth [1093] also [2532] and [2532] the works [2041] that are therein [1722] [846] shall be burned up [2618]. 61 3 11 Seeing then [3767] that all [3956] these things [5130] shall be dissolved [3089], what manner [4217] of persons ought [1163] ye [5209] to be [5225] in [1722] all holy [40] conversation [391] and [2532] godliness [2150], 61 3 12 Looking for [4328] and [2532] hasting [4692] unto the coming [3952] of the day [2250] of God [2316], wherein [1223] [3739] the heavens [3772] being on fire [4448] shall be dissolved [3089], and [2532] the elements [4747] shall melt [5080] with fervent heat [2741]? 61 3 13 Nevertheless [1161] we [4328], according to [2596] his [846] promise [1862], look for [4328] new [2537] heavens [3772] and [2532] a new [2537] earth [1093], wherein [1722] [3739] dwelleth [2730] righteousness [1343]. 61 3 14 Wherefore [1352], beloved [27], seeing that ye look for [4328] such things [5023], be diligent [4704] that ye may be found [2147] of him [846] in [1722] peace [1515], without spot [784], and [2532] blameless [298]. 61 3 15 And [2532] account [2233] that the longsuffering [3115] of our [2257] Lord [2962] is salvation [4991]; even as [2531] our [2257] beloved [27] brother [80] Paul [3972] also [2532] according to [2596] the wisdom [4678] given [1325] unto him [846] hath written [1125] unto you [5213]; 61 3 16 As [5613] also [2532] in [1722] all [3956] his epistles [1992], speaking [2980] in [1722] them [846] of [4012] these things [5130]; in [1722] which [3739] are [2076] some things [5100] hard to be understood [1425], which [3739] they that are unlearned [261] and [2532] unstable [793] wrest [4761], as [5613] they do also [2532] the other [3062] scriptures [1124], unto [4314] their [846] own [2398] destruction [684]. 61 3 17 Ye [5210] therefore [3767], beloved [27], seeing ye know these things before [4267], beware [5442] lest [3363] ye also [1601], being led away [4879] with the error [4106] of the wicked [113], fall from [1601] your own [2398] stedfastness [4740]. 61 3 18 But [1161] grow [837] in [1722] grace [5485], and [2532] in the knowledge [1108] of our [2257] Lord [2962] and [2532] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. To him [846] be glory [1391] both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] for [1519] ever [165] [2250]. Amen [281]. 62 1 1 That which [3739] was [2258] from [575] the beginning [746], which [3739] we have heard [191], which [3739] we have seen [3708] with our [2257] eyes [3788], which [3739] we have looked upon [2300], and [2532] our [2257] hands [5495] have handled [5584], of [4012] the Word [3056] of life [2222]; 62 1 2 (For [2532] the life [2222] was manifested [5319], and [2532] we have seen [3708] it, and [2532] bear witness [3140], and [2532] shew [518] unto you [5213] that eternal [166] life [2222], which [3748] was [2258] with [4314] the Father [3962], and [2532] was manifested [5319] unto us [2254];) 62 1 3 That which [3739] we have seen [3708] and [2532] heard [191] declare we [518] unto you [5213], that [2443] ye [5210] also [2532] may have [2192] fellowship [2842] with [3326] us [2257]: and [2532] truly our [2251] fellowship [2842] [1161] is with [3326] the Father [3962], and [2532] with [3326] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 62 1 4 And [2532] these things [5023] write we [1125] unto you [5213], that [2443] your [5216] joy [5479] may be [5600] full [4137]. 62 1 5 This [3778] then [2532] is [2076] the message [1860] which [3739] we have heard [191] of [575] him [846], and [2532] declare [312] unto you [5213], that [3754] God [2316] is [2076] light [5457], and [2532] in [1722] him [846] is [2076] no [3756] darkness [4653] at all [3762]. 62 1 6 If [1437] we say [2036] that [3754] we have [2192] fellowship [2842] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] walk [4043] in [1722] darkness [4655], we lie [5574], and [2532] do [4160] not [3756] the truth [225]: 62 1 7 But [1161] if [1437] we walk [4043] in [1722] the light [5457], as [5613] he [846] is [2076] in [1722] the light [5457], we have [2192] fellowship [2842] one with another [3326] [240], and [2532] the blood [129] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] his [846] Son [5207] cleanseth [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] sin [266]. 62 1 8 If [1437] we say [2036] that [3754] we have [2192] no [3756] sin [266], we deceive [4105] ourselves [1438], and [2532] the truth [225] is [2076] not [3756] in [1722] us [2254]. 62 1 9 If [1437] we confess [3670] our [2257] sins [266], he is [2076] faithful [4103] and [2532] just [1342] to [2443] forgive [863] us [2254] our sins [266], and [2532] to cleanse [2511] us [2248] from [575] all [3956] unrighteousness [93]. 62 1 10 If [1437] we say [2036] that [3754] we have [264] not [3756] sinned [264], we make [4160] him [846] a liar [5583], and [2532] his [846] word [3056] is [2076] not [3756] in [1722] us [2254]. 62 2 1 My [3450] little children [5040], these things [5023] write I [1125] unto you [5213], that [3363] ye sin [264] not [3363]. And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] sin [264], we have [2192] an advocate [3875] with [4314] the Father [3962], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the righteous [1342]: 62 2 2 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] the propitiation [2434] for [4012] our [2257] sins [266]: and [1161] not [3756] for [4012] ours [2251] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] for [4012] the sins of the whole [3650] world [2889]. 62 2 3 And [2532] hereby [1722] [5129] we do know [1097] that [3754] we know [1097] him [846], if [1437] we keep [5083] his [846] commandments [1785]. 62 2 4 He that saith [3004], I know [1097] him [846], and [2532] keepeth [5083] not [3361] his [846] commandments [1785], is [2076] a liar [5583], and [2532] the truth [225] is [2076] not [3756] in [1722] him [5129]. 62 2 5 But [1161] whoso [3739] keepeth [302] [5083] his [846] word [3056], in [1722] him [5129] verily [230] is [5048] the love [26] of God [2316] perfected [5048]: hereby [1722] [5129] know we [1097] that [3754] we are [2070] in [1722] him [846]. 62 2 6 He that saith [3004] he abideth [3306] in [1722] him [846] ought [3784] himself [846] also [2532] so [3779] to walk [4043], even as [2531] he [1565] walked [4043]. 62 2 7 Brethren [80], I write [1125] no [3756] new [2537] commandment [1785] unto you [5213], but [235] an old [3820] commandment [1785] which [3739] ye had [2192] from [575] the beginning [746]. The old [3820] commandment [1785] is [2076] the word [3056] which [3739] ye have heard [191] from [575] the beginning [746]. 62 2 8 Again [3825], a new [2537] commandment [1785] I write [1125] unto you [5213], which thing [3739] is [2076] true [227] in [1722] him [846] and [2532] in [1722] you [5213]: because [3754] the darkness [4653] is past [3855], and [2532] the true [228] light [5457] now [2235] shineth [5316]. 62 2 9 He that saith [3004] he is [1511] in [1722] the light [5457], and [2532] hateth [3404] his [846] brother [80], is [2076] in [1722] darkness [4653] even until [2193] now [737]. 62 2 10 He that loveth [25] his [846] brother [80] abideth [3306] in [1722] the light [5457], and [2532] there is [2076] none [3756] occasion of stumbling [4625] in [1722] him [846]. 62 2 11 But [1161] he that hateth [3404] his [846] brother [80] is [2076] in [1722] darkness [4653], and [2532] walketh [4043] in [1722] darkness [4653], and [2532] knoweth [1492] not [3756] whither [4226] he goeth [5217], because [3754] that darkness [4653] hath blinded [5186] his [846] eyes [3788]. 62 2 12 I write [1125] unto you [5213], little children [5040], because [3754] your sins [266] are forgiven [863] you [5213] for [1223] his [846] name's [3686] sake [1223]. 62 2 13 I write [1125] unto you [5213], fathers [3962], because [3754] ye have known [1097] him that is from [575] the beginning [746]. I write [1125] unto you [5213], young men [3495], because [3754] ye have overcome [3528] the wicked one [4190]. I write [1125] unto you [5213], little children [3813], because [3754] ye have known [1097] the Father [3962]. 62 2 14 I have written [1125] unto you [5213], fathers [3962], because [3754] ye have known [1097] him that is from [575] the beginning [746]. I have written [1125] unto you [5213], young men [3495], because [3754] ye are [2075] strong [2478], and [2532] the word [3056] of God [2316] abideth [3306] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] ye have overcome [3528] the wicked one [4190]. 62 2 15 Love [25] not [3361] the world [2889], neither [3366] the things that are in [1722] the world [2889]. If [1437] any man [5100] love [25] the world [2889], the love [26] of the Father [3962] is [2076] not [3756] in [1722] him [846]. 62 2 16 For [3754] all [3956] that is in [1722] the world [2889], the lust [1939] of the flesh [4561], and [2532] the lust [1939] of the eyes [3788], and [2532] the pride [212] of life [979], is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] the Father [3962], but [235] is [2076] of [1537] the world [2889]. 62 2 17 And [2532] the world [2889] passeth away [3855], and [2532] the lust [1939] thereof [846]: but [1161] he that doeth [4160] the will [2307] of God [2316] abideth [3306] for [1519] ever [165]. 62 2 18 Little children [3813], it is [2076] the last [2078] time [5610]: and [2532] as [2531] ye have heard [191] that [3754] antichrist [500] shall come [2064], even [2532] now [3568] are there [1096] many [4183] antichrists [500]; whereby [3606] we know [1097] that [3754] it is [2076] the last [2078] time [5610]. 62 2 19 They went out [1831] from [1537] us [2257], but [235] they were [2258] not [3756] of [1537] us [2257]; for [1063] if [1487] they had been [2258] of [1537] us [2257], they would [302] no doubt have continued [3306] with [3326] us [2257]: but [235] they went out, that [2443] they might be made manifest [5319] that [3754] they were [1526] not [3756] all [3956] of [1537] us [2257]. 62 2 20 But [2532] ye [5210] have [2192] an unction [5545] from [575] the Holy One [40], and [2532] ye know [1492] all things [3956]. 62 2 21 I have [1125] not [3756] written [1125] unto you [5213] because [3754] ye know [1492] not [3756] the truth [225], but [235] because [3754] ye know [1492] it [846], and [2532] that [3754] no [3956] [3756] lie [5579] is [2076] of [1537] the truth [225]. 62 2 22 Who [5101] is [2076] a liar [5583] but [1508] he that denieth [720] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] [3756] the Christ [5547]? He [3778] is [2076] antichrist [500], that denieth [720] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Son [5207]. 62 2 23 Whosoever [3956] denieth [720] the Son [5207], the same hath [2192] not [3761] the Father [3962]: (but) he that acknowledgeth [3670] the Son [5207] hath [2192] the Father [3962] also [2532]. 62 2 24 Let [3306] that therefore [3767] abide [3306] in [1722] you [5213], which [3739] ye [5210] have heard [191] from [575] the beginning [746]. If [1437] that which [3739] ye have heard [191] from [575] the beginning [746] shall remain [3306] in [1722] you [5213], ye [5210] also [2532] shall continue [3306] in [1722] the Son [5207], and [2532] in [1722] the Father [3962]. 62 2 25 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the promise [1860] that [3739] he [846] hath promised [1861] us [2254], even eternal [166] life [2222]. 62 2 26 These [5023] things have I written [1125] unto you [5213] concerning [4012] them that seduce [4105] you [5209]. 62 2 27 But [2532] the anointing [5545] which [3739] ye [5210] have received [2983] of [575] him [846] abideth [3306] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] ye need [5532] [2192] not [3756] that [2443] any man [5100] teach [1321] you [5209]: but [235] as [5613] the same [846] anointing [5545] teacheth [1321] you [5209] of [4012] all things [3956], and [2532] is [2076] truth [227], and [2532] is [2076] no [3756] lie [5579], and [2532] even as [2531] it hath taught [1321] you [5209], ye shall abide [3306] in [1722] him [846]. 62 2 28 And [2532] now [3568], little children [5040], abide [3306] in [1722] him [846]; that [2443], when [3752] he shall appear [5319], we may have [2192] confidence [3954], and [2532] not [3361] be ashamed [153] before [575] him [846] at [1722] his [846] coming [3952]. 62 2 29 If [1437] ye know [1492] that [3754] he is [2076] righteous [1342], ye know [1097] that [3754] every one [3956] that doeth [4160] righteousness [1343] is born [1080] of [1537] him [846]. 62 3 1 Behold [1492], what manner [4217] of love [26] the Father [3962] hath bestowed [1325] upon us [2254], that [2443] we should be called [2564] the sons [5043] of God [2316]: therefore [1223] [5124] the world [2889] knoweth [1097] us [2248] not [3756], because [3754] it knew [1097] him [846] not [3756]. 62 3 2 Beloved [27], now [3568] are we [2070] the sons [5043] of God [2316], and [2532] it doth [5319] not yet [3768] appear [5319] what [5101] we shall be [2071]: but [1161] we know [1492] that [3754], when [1437] he shall appear [5319], we shall be [2071] like [3664] him [846]; for [3754] we shall see [3700] him [846] as [2531] he is [2076]. 62 3 3 And [2532] every man [3956] that hath [2192] this [5026] hope [1680] in [1909] him [846] purifieth [48] himself [1438], even as [2531] he [1565] is [2076] pure [53]. 62 3 4 Whosoever [3956] committeth [4160] sin [266] transgresseth [4160] [458] also [2532] the law [458]: for [2532] sin [266] is [2076] the transgression of the law [458]. 62 3 5 And [2532] ye know [1492] that [3754] he [1565] was manifested [5319] to [2443] take away [142] our [2257] sins [266]; and [2532] in [1722] him [846] is [2076] no [3756] sin [266]. 62 3 6 Whosoever [3956] abideth [3306] in [1722] him [846] sinneth [264] not [3756]: whosoever [3956] sinneth [264] hath [3708] not [3756] seen [3708] him [846], neither [3761] known [1097] him [846]. 62 3 7 Little children [5040], let [4105] no man [3367] deceive [4105] you [5209]: he that doeth [4160] righteousness [1343] is [2076] righteous [1342], even as [2531] he [1565] is [2076] righteous [1342]. 62 3 8 He that committeth [4160] sin [266] is [2076] of [1537] the devil [1228]; for [3754] the devil [1228] sinneth [264] from [575] the beginning [746]. For [1519] this purpose [5124] the Son [5207] of God [2316] was manifested [5319], that [2443] he might destroy [3089] the works [2041] of the devil [1228]. 62 3 9 Whosoever [3956] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316] doth [4160] not [3756] commit sin [266]; for [3754] his [846] seed [4690] remaineth [3306] in [1722] him [846]: and [2532] he cannot [3756] [1410] sin [264], because [3754] he is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316]. 62 3 10 In [1722] this [5129] the children [5043] of God [2316] are [2076] manifest [5318], and [2532] the children [5043] of the devil [1228]: whosoever [3956] doeth [4160] not [3361] righteousness [1343] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] God [2316], neither [2532] he that loveth [25] not [3361] his [846] brother [80]. 62 3 11 For [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the message [31] that [3739] ye heard [191] from [575] the beginning [746], that [2443] we should love [25] one another [240]. 62 3 12 Not [3756] as [2531] Cain [2535], who was [2258] of [1537] that wicked one [4190], and [2532] slew [4969] his [846] brother [80]. And [2532] wherefore [5484] [5101] slew [4969] he him [846]? Because [3754] his own [846] works [2041] were [2258] evil [4190], and [1161] his [846] brother's [80] righteous [1342]. 62 3 13 Marvel [2296] not [3361], my [3450] brethren [80], if [1487] the world [2889] hate [3404] you [5209]. 62 3 14 We know [1492] that [3754] we [2249] have passed [3327] from [1537] death [2288] unto [1519] life [2222], because [3754] we love [25] the brethren [80]. He that loveth [25] not [3361] his brother [80] abideth [3306] in [1722] death [2288]. 62 3 15 Whosoever [3956] hateth [3404] his [846] brother [80] is [2076] a murderer [443]: and [2532] ye know [1492] that [3754] no [3756] [3956] murderer [443] hath [2192] eternal [166] life [2222] abiding [3306] in [1722] him [846]. 62 3 16 Hereby [1722] [5129] perceive we [1097] the love [26] of God, because [3754] he [1565] laid down [5087] his [846] life [5590] for [5228] us [2257]: and [2532] we [2249] ought [3784] to lay down [5087] our lives [5590] for [5228] the brethren [80]. 62 3 17 But [1161] whoso [3739] [302] hath [2192] this world's [2889] good [979], and [2532] seeth [2334] his [846] brother [80] have [2192] need [5532], and [2532] shutteth up [2808] his [846] bowels [4698] of compassion from [575] him [846], how [4459] dwelleth [3306] the love [26] of God [2316] in [1722] him [846]? 62 3 18 My [3450] little children [5040], let us [25] not [3361] love [25] in word [3056], neither [3366] in tongue [1100]; but [235] in deed [2041] and [2532] in truth [225]. 62 3 19 And [2532] hereby [1722] [5129] we know [1097] that [3754] we are [2070] of [1537] the truth [225], and [2532] shall assure [3982] our [2257] hearts [2588] before [1715] him [846]. 62 3 20 For [3754] if [1437] our [2257] heart [2588] condemn us [2607], [3754] God [2316] is [2076] greater [3187] than our [2257] heart [2588], and [2532] knoweth [1097] all things [3956]. 62 3 21 Beloved [27], if [3362] our [2257] heart [2588] condemn [2607] us [2257] not [3362], then have we [2192] confidence [3954] toward [4314] God [2316]. 62 3 22 And [2532] whatsoever [3739] [1437] we ask [154], we receive [2983] of [3844] him [846], because [3754] we keep [5083] his [846] commandments [1785], and [2532] do [4160] those things that are pleasing [701] in his [846] sight [1799]. 62 3 23 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] his [846] commandment [1785], That [2443] we should believe [4100] on the name [3686] of his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] love [25] one another [240], as [2531] he gave [1325] us [2254] commandment [1785]. 62 3 24 And [2532] he that keepeth [5083] his [846] commandments [1785] dwelleth [3306] in [1722] him [846], and [2532] he [846] in [1722] him [846]. And [2532] hereby [1722] [5129] we know [1097] that [3754] he abideth [3306] in [1722] us [2254], by [1537] the Spirit [4151] which [3739] he hath given [1325] us [2254]. 62 4 1 Beloved [27], believe [4100] not [3361] every [3956] spirit [4151], but [235] try [1381] the spirits [4151] whether [1487] they are [2076] of [1537] God [2316]: because [3754] many [4183] false prophets [5578] are gone out [1831] into [1519] the world [2889]. 62 4 2 Hereby [1722] [3739] [5129] know ye [1097] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316]: Every [3956] spirit [4151] that confesseth [3670] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is come [2064] in [1722] the flesh [4561] is [2076] of [1537] God [2316]: 62 4 3 And [2532] every [3956] spirit [4151] that [3739] confesseth [3670] not [3361] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is come [2064] in [1722] the flesh [4561] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] God [2316]: and [2532] this [5124] is [2076] that spirit of antichrist [500], whereof [3739] ye have heard [191] that [3754] it should come [2064]; and even [2532] now [3568] already [2235] is it [2076] in [1722] the world [2889]. 62 4 4 Ye [5210] are [2075] of [1537] God [2316], little children [5040], and [2532] have overcome [3528] them [846]: because [3754] greater [3187] is he that is [2076] in [1722] you [5213], than [2228] he that is in [1722] the world [2889]. 62 4 5 They [846] are [1526] of [1537] the world [2889]: therefore [1223] [5124] speak they [2980] of [1537] the world [2889], and [2532] the world [2889] heareth [191] them [846]. 62 4 6 We [2249] are [2070] of [1537] God [2316]: he that knoweth [1097] God [2316] heareth [191] us [2257]; he that [3739] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] God [2316] heareth [191] not [3756] us [2257]. Hereby [1537] [5127] know we [1097] the spirit [4151] of truth [225], and [2532] the spirit [4151] of error [4106]. 62 4 7 Beloved [27], let us love [25] one another [240]: for [3754] love [26] is [2076] of [1537] God [2316]; and [2532] every one [3956] that loveth [25] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316], and [2532] knoweth [1097] God [2316]. 62 4 8 He that loveth [25] not [3361] knoweth [1097] not [3756] God [2316]; for [3754] God [2316] is [2076] love [26]. 62 4 9 In [1722] this [5129] was manifested [5319] the love [26] of God [2316] toward [1722] us [2254], because [3754] that God [2316] sent [649] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889], that [2443] we might live [2198] through [1223] him [846]. 62 4 10 Herein [1722] [5129] is [2076] love [26], not [3754] that [3756] we [2249] loved [25] God [2316], but [235] that [3754] he [846] loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] sent [649] his [846] Son [5207] to be the propitiation [2434] for [4012] our [2257] sins [266]. 62 4 11 Beloved [27], if [1487] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] us [2248], we [2249] ought [3784] also [2532] to love [25] one another [240]. 62 4 12 No man [3762] hath seen [2300] God [2316] at any time [4455]. If [1437] we love [25] one another [240], God [2316] dwelleth [3306] in [1722] us [2254], and [2532] his [846] love [26] is [2076] perfected [5048] in [1722] us [2254]. 62 4 13 Hereby [1722] [5129] know we [1097] that [3754] we dwell [3306] in [1722] him [846], and [2532] he [846] in [1722] us [2254], because [3754] he hath given [1325] us [2254] of [1537] his [846] Spirit [4151]. 62 4 14 And [2532] we [2249] have seen [2300] and [2532] do testify [3140] that [3754] the Father [3962] sent [649] the Son [5207] to be the Saviour [4990] of the world [2889]. 62 4 15 Whosoever [3739] [302] shall confess [3670] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] the Son [5207] of God [2316], God [2316] dwelleth [3306] in [1722] him [846], and [2532] he [846] in [1722] God [2316]. 62 4 16 And [2532] we [2249] have known [1097] and [2532] believed [4100] the love [26] that [3739] God [2316] hath [2192] to [1722] us [2254]. God [2316] is [2076] love [26]; and [2532] he that dwelleth [3306] in [1722] love [26] dwelleth [3306] in [1722] God [2316], and [2532] God [2316] in [1722] him [846]. 62 4 17 Herein [1722] [5129] is our [3326] [2257] love [26] made perfect [5048], that [2443] we may have [2192] boldness [3954] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920]: because [3754] as [2531] he [1565] is [2076], so [2532] are [2070] we [2249] in [1722] this [5129] world [2889]. 62 4 18 There is [2076] no [3756] fear [5401] in [1722] love [26]; but [235] perfect [5046] love [26] casteth [906] out [1854] fear [5401]: because [3754] fear [5401] hath [2192] torment [2851]. [1161] He that feareth [5399] is [5048] not [3756] made perfect [5048] in [1722] love [26]. 62 4 19 We [2249] love [25] him [846], because [3754] he [846] first [4413] loved [25] us [2248]. 62 4 20 If [1437] a man [5100] say [2036], [3754] I love [25] God [2316], and [2532] hateth [3404] his [846] brother [80], he is [2076] a liar [5583]: for [1063] he that loveth [25] not [3361] his [846] brother [80] whom [3739] he hath seen [3708], how [4459] can [1410] he love [25] God [2316] whom [3739] he hath [3708] not [3756] seen [3708]? 62 4 21 And [2532] this [5026] commandment [1785] have we [2192] from [575] him [846], That [2443] he who loveth [25] God [2316] love [25] his [846] brother [80] also [2532]. 62 5 1 Whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] the Christ [5547] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316]: and [2532] every one [3956] that loveth [25] him that begat [1080] loveth [25] him also [2532] that is begotten [1080] of [1537] him [846]. 62 5 2 By [1722] this [5129] we know [1097] that [3754] we love [25] the children [5043] of God [2316], when [3752] we love [25] God [2316], and [2532] keep [5083] his [846] commandments [1785]. 62 5 3 For [1063] this [3778] is [2076] the love [26] of God [2316], that [2443] we keep [5083] his [846] commandments [1785]: and [2532] his [846] commandments [1785] are [1526] not [3756] grievous [926]. 62 5 4 For [3754] whatsoever [3956] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316] overcometh [3528] the world [2889]: and [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the victory [3529] that overcometh [3528] the world [2889], even our [2257] faith [4102]. 62 5 5 Who [5101] is [2076] he that overcometh [3528] the world [2889], but [1508] he that believeth [4100] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] the Son [5207] of God [2316]? 62 5 6 This [3778] is [2076] he that came [2064] by [1223] water [5204] and [2532] blood [129], even Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; not [3756] by [1722] water [5204] only [3440], but [235] by [1722] water [5204] and [2532] blood [129]. And [2532] it is [2076] the Spirit [4151] that beareth witness [3140], because [3754] the Spirit [4151] is [2076] truth [225]. 62 5 7 For [3754] there are [1526] three [5140] that bear record [3140] in [1722] heaven [3772], the Father [3962], the Word [3056], and [2532] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]: and [2532] these [3778] three [5140] are [1526] one [1520]. 62 5 8 And [2532] there are [1526] three [5140] that bear witness [3140] in [1722] earth [1093], the Spirit [4151], and [2532] the water [5204], and [2532] the blood [129]: and [2532] these three [5140] agree [1526] in [1519] one [1520]. 62 5 9 If [1487] we receive [2983] the witness [3141] of men [444], the witness [3141] of God [2316] is [2076] greater [3187]: for [3754] this [3778] is [2076] the witness [3141] of God [2316] which [3739] he hath testified [3140] of [4012] his [846] Son [5207]. 62 5 10 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] of God [2316] hath [2192] the witness [3141] in [1722] himself [1438]: he that believeth [4100] not [3361] God [2316] hath made [4160] him [846] a liar [5583]; because [3754] he believeth [4100] not [3756] [1519] the record [3141] that [3739] God [2316] gave [3140] of [4012] his [846] Son [5207]. 62 5 11 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the record [3141], that [3754] God [2316] hath given [1325] to us [2254] eternal [166] life [2222], and [2532] this [3778] life [2222] is [2076] in [1722] his [846] Son [5207]. 62 5 12 He that hath [2192] the Son [5207] hath [2192] life [2222]; and he that hath [2192] not [3361] the Son [5207] of God [2316] hath [2192] not [3756] life [2222]. 62 5 13 These things [5023] have I written [1125] unto you [5213] that believe [4100] on [1519] the name [3686] of the Son [5207] of God [2316]; that [2443] ye may know [1492] that ye [3754] have [2192] eternal [166] life [2222], and [2532] that [2443] ye may believe [4100] on [1519] the name [3686] of the Son [5207] of God [2316]. 62 5 14 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] the confidence [3954] that [3739] we have [2192] in [4314] him [846], that [3754], if [1437] we ask [154] any thing [5100] according [2596] to his [846] will [2307], he heareth [191] us [2257]: 62 5 15 And [2532] if [1437] we know [1492] that [3754] he hear [191] us [2257], whatsoever [3739] [302] we ask [154], we know [1492] that [3754] we have [2192] the petitions [155] that [3739] we desired [154] of [3844] him [846]. 62 5 16 If [1437] any man [5100] see [1492] his [846] brother [80] sin [264] a sin [266] which is not [3361] unto [4314] death [2288], he shall ask [154], and [2532] he shall give [1325] him [846] life [2222] for them that sin [264] not [3361] unto [4314] death [2288]. There is [2076] a sin [266] unto [4314] death [2288]: I do not [3756] say [3004] that [2443] he shall pray [2065] for [4012] it [1565]. 62 5 17 All [3956] unrighteousness [93] is [2076] sin [266]: and [2532] there is [2076] a sin [266] not [3756] unto [4314] death [2288]. 62 5 18 We know [1492] that [3754] whosoever [3956] is born [1080] of [1537] God [2316] sinneth [264] not [3756]; but [235] he that is begotten [1080] of [1537] God [2316] keepeth [5083] himself [1438], and [2532] that wicked one [4190] toucheth [680] him [846] not [3756]. 62 5 19 And we know [1492] that [3754] we are [2070] of [1537] God [2316], and [2532] the whole [3650] world [2889] lieth [2749] in [1722] wickedness [4190]. 62 5 20 And [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of God [2316] is come [2240], and [2532] hath given [1325] us [2254] an understanding [1271], that [2443] we may know [1097] him that is true [228], and [2532] we are [2070] in [1722] him that is true [228], even in [1722] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. This [3778] is [2076] the true [228] God [2316], and [2532] eternal [166] life [2222]. 62 5 21 Little children [5040], keep [5442] yourselves [1438] from [575] idols [1497]. Amen [281]. 63 1 1 The elder [4245] unto the elect [1588] lady [2959] and [2532] her [846] children [5043], whom [3739] I [1473] love [25] in [1722] the truth [225]; and [2532] not [3756] I [1473] only [3441], but [235] also [2532] all [3956] they that have known [1097] the truth [225]; 63 1 2 For [1223] the truth's sake [225], which [3588] dwelleth [3306] in [1722] us [2254], and [2532] shall be [2071] with [3326] us [2257] for [1519] ever [165]. 63 1 3 Grace [5485] be [2071] with [3326] you [5216], mercy [1656], and peace [1515], from [3844] God [2316] the Father [3962], and [2532] from [3844] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of the Father [3962], in [1722] truth [225] and [2532] love [26]. 63 1 4 I rejoiced [5463] greatly [3029] that [3754] I found [2147] of [1537] thy [4675] children [5043] walking [4043] in [1722] truth [225], as [2531] we have received [2983] a commandment [1785] from [3844] the Father [3962]. 63 1 5 And [2532] now [3568] I beseech [2065] thee [4571], lady [2959], not [3756] as though [5613] I wrote [1125] [1125] a new [2537] commandment [1785] unto thee [4671], but [235] that which [3739] we had [2192] from [575] the beginning [746], that [2443] we love [25] one another [240]. 63 1 6 And [2532] this [3778] is [2076] love [26], that [2443] we walk [4043] after [2596] his [846] commandments [1785]. This [3778] is [2076] the commandment [1785], That [2443], as [2531] ye have heard [191] from [575] the beginning [746], ye should walk [4043] in [1722] it [846]. 63 1 7 For [3754] many [4183] deceivers [4108] are entered [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], who [3588] confess [3670] not [3361] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is come [2064] in [1722] the flesh [4561]. This [3778] is [2076] a deceiver [4108] and [2532] an antichrist [500]. 63 1 8 Look [991] to yourselves [1438], that [3363] we lose [622] not [3363] those things which [3739] we have wrought [2038], but [235] that we receive [618] a full [4134] reward [3408]. 63 1 9 Whosoever [3956] transgresseth [3845], and [2532] abideth [3306] not [3361] in [1722] the doctrine [1322] of Christ [5547], hath [2192] not [3756] God [2316]. He that abideth [3306] in [1722] the doctrine [1322] of Christ [5547], he [3778] hath [2192] both [2532] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Son [5207]. 63 1 10 If [1536] there come [2064] any [1536] [5100] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] bring [5342] not [3756] this [5026] doctrine [1322], receive [2983] him [846] not [3361] into [1519] your house [3614], neither [2532] [3361] bid [3004] him [846] God speed [5463]: 63 1 11 For [1063] he that biddeth [3004] him [846] God speed [5463] is partaker [2841] of his [846] evil [4190] deeds [2041]. 63 1 12 Having [2192] many things [4183] to write [1125] unto you [5213], I would [1014] not [3756] write with [1223] paper [5489] and [2532] ink [3188]: but [235] I trust [1679] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] speak [2980] face [4750] to [4314] face [4750], that [2443] our [2257] joy [5479] may be [5600] full [4137]. 63 1 13 The children [5043] of thy [4675] elect [1588] sister [79] greet [782] thee [4571]. Amen [281]. 64 1 1 The elder [4245] unto the wellbeloved [27] Gaius [1050], whom [3739] I [1473] love [25] in [1722] the truth [225]. 64 1 2 Beloved [27], I wish [2172] above [4012] all things [3956] that thou [4571] mayest prosper [2137] and [2532] be in health [5198], even as [2531] thy [4675] soul [5590] prospereth [2137]. 64 1 3 For [1063] I rejoiced [5463] greatly [3029], when the brethren [80] came [2064] and [2532] testified [3140] of the truth [225] that is in thee [4675], even as [2531] thou [4771] walkest [4043] in [1722] the truth [225]. 64 1 4 I have [2192] no [3756] greater [3186] [5130] joy [5479] than to [2443] hear [191] that my [1699] children [5043] walk [4043] in [1722] truth [225]. 64 1 5 Beloved [27], thou doest [4160] faithfully [4103] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou doest [2038] to [1519] the brethren [80], and [2532] to [1519] strangers [3581]; 64 1 6 Which [3739] have borne witness [3140] of thy [4675] charity [26] before [1799] the church [1577]: whom [3739] if thou bring forward on their journey [4311] after [516] a godly [2316] sort [516], thou shalt do [4160] well [2573]: 64 1 7 Because that [1063] for [5228] his [846] name's [3686] sake [5228] they went forth [1831], taking [2983] nothing [3367] of [575] the Gentiles [1484]. 64 1 8 We [2249] therefore [3767] ought [3784] to receive [618] such [5108], that [2443] we might be [1096] fellowhelpers [4904] to the truth [225]. 64 1 9 I wrote [1125] unto the church [1577]: but [235] Diotrephes [1361], who [3588] loveth to have the preeminence [5383] among them [846], receiveth [1926] us [2248] not [3756]. 64 1 10 Wherefore [1223] [5124], if [1437] I come [2064], I will remember [5279] his [846] deeds [2041] which [3739] he doeth [4160], prating against [5396] us [2248] with malicious [4190] words [3056]: and [2532] not [3361] content [714] therewith [1909] [5125], neither [3777] doth [1926] he himself [846] receive [1926] the brethren [80], and [2532] forbiddeth [2967] them that would [1014], and [2532] casteth [1544] them out of [1537] the church [1577]. 64 1 11 Beloved [27], follow [3401] not [3361] that which is evil [2556], but [235] that which is good [18]. He that doeth good [15] is [2076] of [1537] God [2316]: but [1161] he that doeth evil [2554] hath [3708] not [3756] seen [3708] God [2316]. 64 1 12 Demetrius [1216] hath good report [3140] of [5259] all [3956] men, and [2532] of [5259] the truth [225] itself [846]: yea [1161], and [2532] we [2249] also bear record [3140]; and [2532] ye know [1492] that [3754] our [2257] record [3141] is [2076] true [227]. 64 1 13 I had [2192] many things [4183] to write [1125], but [235] I will [2309] not [3756] with [1223] ink [3188] and [2532] pen [2563] write [1125] unto thee [4671]: 64 1 14 But [1161] I trust [1679] I shall [1492] shortly [2112] see [1492] thee [4571], and [2532] we shall speak [2980] face [4750] to [4314] face [4750]. Peace [1515] be to thee [4671]. Our friends [5384] salute [782] thee [4571]. Greet [782] the friends [5384] by [2596] name [3686]. 65 1 1 Jude [2455], the servant [1401] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [1161] brother [80] of James [2385], to them that are sanctified [37] by [1722] God [2316] the Father [3962], and [2532] preserved [5083] in Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and called [2822]: 65 1 2 Mercy [1656] unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], and [2532] love [26], be multiplied [4129]. 65 1 3 Beloved [27], when I gave [4160] all [3956] diligence [4710] to write [1125] unto you [5213] of [4012] the common [2839] salvation [4991], it was [2192] needful [318] for me [2192] to write [1125] unto you [5213], and exhort [3870] you that ye should earnestly contend [1864] for the faith [4102] which was once [530] delivered [3860] unto the saints [40]. 65 1 4 For [1063] there are certain [5100] men [444] crept in unawares [3921], who [3588] were before [4270] of old [3819] ordained [4270] to [1519] this [5124] condemnation [2917], ungodly men [765], turning [3346] the grace [5485] of our [2257] God [2316] into [1519] lasciviousness [766], and [2532] denying [720] the only [3441] Lord [1203] God [2316], and [2532] our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 65 1 5 I will [1014] therefore [1161] put [5279] you [5209] in remembrance [5279], though ye [5209] once [530] knew [1492] this [5124], how that [3754] the Lord [2962], having saved [4982] the people [2992] out of [1537] the land [1093] of Egypt [125], afterward [1208] destroyed [622] them that believed [4100] not [3361]. 65 1 6 And [5037] the angels [32] which kept [5083] not [3361] their [1438] first estate [746], but [235] left [620] their own [2398] habitation [3613], he hath reserved [5083] in everlasting [126] chains [1199] under [5259] darkness [2217] unto [1519] the judgment [2920] of the great [3173] day [2250]. 65 1 7 Even as [5613] Sodom [4670] and [2532] Gomorrha [1116], and [2532] the cities [4172] about [4012] them [846] in like [3664] [5125] manner [5158], giving themselves over to fornication [1608], and [2532] going [565] after [3694] strange [2087] flesh [4561], are set forth for [4295] an example [1164], suffering [5254] the vengeance [1349] of eternal [166] fire [4442]. 65 1 8 Likewise [3668] [3305] also [2532] these [3778] filthy dreamers [1797] defile [3392] the flesh [3303] [4561], [1161] despise [114] dominion [2963], and [1161] speak evil [987] of dignities [1391]. 65 1 9 Yet [1161] Michael [3413] the archangel [743], when [3753] contending [1252] with the devil [1228] he disputed [1256] about [4012] the body [4983] of Moses [3475], durst [5111] not [3756] bring against him [2018] a railing [988] accusation [2920], but [235] said [2036], The Lord [2962] rebuke [2008] thee [4671]. 65 1 10 But [1161] these [3778] speak evil [987] of those things which [3745] [3303] they know [1492] not [3756]: but [1161] what [3745] they know [1987] naturally [5447], as [5613] brute [249] beasts [2226], in [1722] those things [5125] they corrupt themselves [5351]. 65 1 11 Woe [3759] unto them [846]! for [3754] they have gone [4198] in the way [3598] of Cain [2535], and [2532] ran greedily after [1632] the error [4106] of Balaam [903] for reward [3408], and [2532] perished [622] in the gainsaying [485] of Core [2879]. 65 1 12 These [3778] are [1526] spots [4694] in [1722] your [5216] feasts of charity [26], when they feast [4910] with you [5213], feeding [4165] themselves [1438] without fear [870]: clouds [3507] they are without water [504], carried about [4064] of [5259] winds [417]; trees [1186] whose fruit withereth [5352], without fruit [175], twice [1364] dead [599], plucked up by the roots [1610]; 65 1 13 Raging [66] waves [2949] of the sea [2281], foaming out [1890] their own [1438] shame [152]; wandering [4107] stars [792], to whom [3739] is reserved [5083] the blackness [2217] of darkness [4655] for [1519] ever [165]. 65 1 14 And [1161] Enoch [1802] also [2532], the seventh [1442] from [575] Adam [76], prophesied [4395] of these [5125], saying [3004], Behold [2400], the Lord [2962] cometh [2064] with [1722] ten thousands [3461] of his [846] saints [40], 65 1 15 To execute [4160] judgment [2920] upon [2596] all [3956], and [2532] to convince [1827] all [3956] that are ungodly [765] among them [846] of [4012] all [3956] their [846] ungodly [763] deeds [2041] which [3739] they have ungodly committed [764], and [2532] of [4012] all [3956] their hard [4642] speeches which [3739] ungodly [765] sinners [268] have spoken [2980] against [2596] him [846]. 65 1 16 These [3778] are [1526] murmurers [1113], complainers [3202], walking [4198] after [2596] their own [846] lusts [1939]; and [2532] their [846] mouth [4750] speaketh [2980] great swelling [5246] words, having men's persons [4383] in admiration [2296] because [5484] of advantage [5622]. 65 1 17 But [1161], beloved [27], remember [3415] ye [5210] the words [4487] which [3588] were spoken before [4280] of [5259] the apostles [652] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; 65 1 18 How [3754] that [3754] they told [3004] you [5213] there should be [2071] mockers [1703] in [1722] the last [2078] time [5550], who should walk [4198] after [2596] their own [1438] ungodly [763] lusts [1939]. 65 1 19 These [3778] be [1526] they who separate [592] themselves [1438], sensual [5591], having [2192] not [3361] the Spirit [4151]. 65 1 20 But [1161] ye [5210], beloved [27], building up [2026] yourselves [1438] on your [5216] most holy [40] faith [4102], praying [4336] in [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], 65 1 21 Keep [5083] yourselves [1438] in [1722] the love [26] of God [2316], looking for [4327] the mercy [1656] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] eternal [166] life [2222]. 65 1 22 And [2532] [3303] of some [3739] have compassion [1653], making a difference [1252]: 65 1 23 And [1161] others [3739] save [4982] with [1722] fear [5401], pulling [726] them out of [1537] the fire [4442]; hating [3404] even [2532] the garment [5509] spotted [4695] by [575] the flesh [4561]. 65 1 24 Now [1161] unto him that is able [1410] to keep [5442] you [5209] [846] from falling [679], and [2532] to present [2476] you faultless [299] before the presence [2714] of his [846] glory [1391] with [1722] exceeding joy [20], 65 1 25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281]. 66 1 1 The Revelation [602] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], which [3739] God [2316] gave [1325] unto him [846], to shew [1166] unto his [846] servants [1401] things which [3739] must [1163] shortly [1722] [5034] come to pass [1096]; and [2532] he sent [649] and signified [4591] it by [1223] his [846] angel [32] unto his [846] servant [1401] John [2491]: 66 1 2 Who [3739] bare record [3140] of the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] of the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [5037] of all things [3745] that he saw [1492]. 66 1 3 Blessed [3107] is he that readeth [314], and [2532] they that hear [191] the words [3056] of this prophecy [4394], and [2532] keep [5083] those things which are written [1125] therein [1722] [846]: for [1063] the time [2540] is at hand [1451]. 66 1 4 John [2491] to the seven [2033] churches [1577] which [3588] are in [1722] Asia [773]: Grace [5485] be unto you [5213], and [2532] peace [1515], from [575] him which [3588] is [5607] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] was [2258] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] is to come [2064] [3801]; and [2532] from [575] the seven [2033] Spirits [4151] which [3739] are [2076] before [1799] his [846] throne [2362]; 66 1 5 And [2532] from [575] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who is the faithful [4103] witness [3144], and the first begotten [4416] of [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] the prince [758] of the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. Unto him that loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] washed [3068] us [2248] from [575] our [2257] sins [266] in [1722] his own [846] blood [129], 66 1 6 And [2532] hath made [4160] us [2248] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409] unto God [2316] and [2532] his [846] Father [3962]; to him [846] be glory [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 66 1 7 Behold [2400], he cometh [2064] with [3326] clouds [3507]; and [2532] every [3956] eye [3788] shall see [3700] him [846], and [2532] they also which [3748] pierced [1574] him [846]: and [2532] all [3956] kindreds [5443] of the earth [1093] shall wail [2875] because [1909] of him [846]. Even so [3483], Amen [281]. 66 1 8 I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the beginning [746] and [2532] the ending [5056], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], which [3588] is [5607] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] was [2258] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] is to come [2064] [3801], the Almighty [3841]. 66 1 9 I [1473] John [2491], who [3588] also [2532] am your [5216] brother [80], and [2532] companion [4791] in [1722] tribulation [2347], and [2532] in [1722] the kingdom [932] and [2532] patience [5281] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], was [1096] in [1722] the isle [3520] that is called [2564] Patmos [3963], for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] for [1223] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 66 1 10 I was [1096] in [1722] the Spirit [4151] on [1722] the Lord's [2960] day [2250], and [2532] heard [191] behind [3694] me [3450] a great [3173] voice [5456], as [5613] of a trumpet [4536], 66 1 11 Saying [3004], I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078]: and [2532], What [3739] thou seest [991], write [1125] in [1519] a book [975], and [2532] send [3992] it unto the seven [2033] churches [1577] which [3588] are in [1722] Asia [773]; unto [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2532] unto [1519] Smyrna [4667], and [2532] unto [1519] Pergamos [4010], and [2532] unto [1519] Thyatira [2363], and [2532] unto [1519] Sardis [4554], and [2532] unto [1519] Philadelphia [5359], and [2532] unto [1519] Laodicea [2993]. 66 1 12 And [2532] I turned [1994] to see [991] the voice [5456] that [3748] spake [2980] with [3326] me [1700]. And [2532] being turned [1994], I saw [1492] seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087]; 66 1 13 And [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] one like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], clothed with a garment [1746] down to the foot [4158], and [2532] girt [4024] about [4314] the paps [3149] with a golden [5552] girdle [2223]. 66 1 14 [1161] His [846] head [2776] and [2532] his hairs [2359] were white [3022] like [5616] wool [2053], as white [3022] as [5613] snow [5510]; and [2532] his [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442]; 66 1 15 And [2532] his [846] feet [4228] like [3664] unto fine brass [5474], as [5613] if they burned [4448] in [1722] a furnace [2575]; and [2532] his [846] voice [5456] as [5613] the sound [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204]. 66 1 16 And [2532] he had [2192] in [1722] his [846] right [1188] hand [5495] seven [2033] stars [792]: and [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] went [1607] a sharp [3691] twoedged [1366] sword [4501]: and [2532] his [846] countenance [3799] was as [5613] the sun [2246] shineth [5316] in [1722] his [846] strength [1411]. 66 1 17 And [2532] when [3753] I saw [1492] him [846], I fell [4098] at [4314] his [846] feet [4228] as [5613] dead [3498]. And [2532] he laid [2007] his [846] right [1188] hand [5495] upon [1909] me [1691], saying [3004] unto me [3427], Fear [5399] not [3361]; I [1473] am [1510] the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078]: 66 1 18 [2532] I am he that liveth [2198], and [2532] was [1096] dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], I am [1510] alive [2198] for [1519] evermore [165] [165], Amen [281]; and [2532] have [2192] the keys [2807] of hell [86] and [2532] of death [2288]. 66 1 19 Write [1125] the things which [3739] thou hast seen [1492], and [2532] the things which [3739] are [1526], and [2532] the things which [3739] shall [3195] be [1096] hereafter [3326] [5023]; 66 1 20 The mystery [3466] of the seven [2033] stars [792] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] in [1909] my [3450] right hand [1188], and [2532] the seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087]. The seven [2033] stars [792] are [1526] the angels [32] of the seven [2033] churches [1577]: and [2532] the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] are [1526] the seven [2033] churches [1577]. 66 2 1 Unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of Ephesus [2179] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he that holdeth [2902] the seven [2033] stars [792] in [1722] his [846] right hand [1188], who [3588] walketh [4043] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] golden [5552] candlesticks [3087]; 66 2 2 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] thy [4675] labour [2873], and [2532] thy [4675] patience [5281], and [2532] how [3754] thou canst [1410] not [3756] bear [941] them which are evil [2556]: and [2532] thou hast tried [3985] them which say [5335] they are [1511] apostles [652], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], and [2532] hast found [2147] them [846] liars [5571]: 66 2 3 And [2532] hast borne [941], and [2532] hast [2192] patience [5281], and [2532] for [1223] my [3450] name's sake [1223] [3686] hast laboured [2872], and [2532] hast [2577] not [3756] fainted [2577]. 66 2 4 Nevertheless [235] I have [2192] somewhat against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou hast left [863] thy [4675] first [4413] love [26]. 66 2 5 Remember [3421] therefore [3767] from whence [4159] thou art fallen [1601], and [2532] repent [3340], and [2532] do [4160] the first [4413] works [2041]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will remove [2795] thy [4675] candlestick [3087] out of [1537] his [846] place [5117], except [3362] thou repent [3340]. 66 2 6 But [235] this [5124] thou hast [2192], that [3754] thou hatest [3404] the deeds [2041] of the Nicolaitans [3531], which [3739] I also [2504] hate [3404]. 66 2 7 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I give [1325] to eat [5315] of [1537] the tree [3586] of life [2222], which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the paradise [3857] of God [2316]. 66 2 8 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] in Smyrna [4668] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078], which [3739] was [1096] dead [3498], and [2532] is alive [2198]; 66 2 9 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] tribulation [2347], and [2532] poverty [4432], (but [1161] thou art [1488] rich [4145]) and [2532] I know the blasphemy [988] of them which [3588] say [3004] they [1438] are [1511] Jews [2453], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], but [235] are the synagogue [4864] of Satan [4567]. 66 2 10 Fear [5399] none [3367] of those things which [3739] thou shalt [3195] suffer [3958]: behold [2400], the devil [1228] shall [3195] cast [906] some of [1537] you [5216] into [1519] prison [5438], that [2443] ye may be tried [3985]; and [2532] ye shall have [2192] tribulation [2347] ten [1176] days [2250]: be thou [1096] faithful [4103] unto [891] death [2288], and [2532] I will give [1325] thee [4671] a crown [4735] of life [2222]. 66 2 11 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; He that overcometh [3528] shall [91] not [3364] be hurt [91] of [1537] the second [1208] death [2288]. 66 2 12 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Pergamos [4010] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he which hath [2192] the sharp [3691] sword [4501] with two edges [1366]; 66 2 13 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] where [4226] thou dwellest [2730], even where [3699] Satan's [4567] seat [2362] is: and [2532] thou holdest fast [2902] my [3450] name [3686], and [2532] hast [720] not [3756] denied [720] my [3450] faith [4102], even [2532] in [1722] those days [2250] wherein [1722] [3739] Antipas [493] was my [3450] faithful [4103] martyr [3144], who [3739] was slain [615] among [3844] you [5213], where [3699] Satan [4567] dwelleth [2730]. 66 2 14 But [235] I have [2192] a few things [3641] against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou hast [2192] there [1563] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of Balaam [903], who [3739] taught [1722] [1321] Balac [904] to cast [906] a stumblingblock [4625] before [1799] the children [5207] of Israel [2474], to eat [5315] things sacrificed unto idols [1494], and [2532] to commit fornication [4203]. 66 2 15 So [3779] hast [2192] thou [4771] also [2532] them that hold [2902] the doctrine [1322] of the Nicolaitans [3531], which thing [3739] I hate [3404]. 66 2 16 Repent [3340]; or else [1490] I will come [2064] unto thee [4671] quickly [5035], and [2532] will fight [4170] against [3326] them [846] with [1722] the sword [4501] of my [3450] mouth [4750]. 66 2 17 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]; To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I give [1325] to eat [5315] of [575] the hidden [2928] manna [3131], and [2532] will give [1325] him [846] a white [3022] stone [5586], and [2532] in [1909] the stone [5586] a new [2537] name [3686] written [1125], which [3739] no man [3762] knoweth [1097] saving [1508] he that receiveth [2983] it. 66 2 18 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Thyatira [2363] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Son [5207] of God [2316], who [3588] hath [2192] his [846] eyes [3788] like [5613] unto a flame [5395] of fire [4442], and [2532] his [846] feet [4228] are like [3664] fine brass [5474]; 66 2 19 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], and [2532] charity [26], and [2532] service [1248], and [2532] faith [4102], and [2532] thy [4675] patience [5281], and [2532] thy [4675] works [2041]; and [2532] the last [2078] to be more than [4119] the first [4413]. 66 2 20 Notwithstanding [235] I have [2192] a few things [3641] against [2596] thee [4675], because [3754] thou sufferest [1439] that woman [1135] Jezebel [2403], which [3588] calleth [3004] herself [1438] a prophetess [4398], to teach [1321] and [2532] to seduce [4105] my [1699] servants [1401] to commit fornication [4203], and [2532] to eat [5315] things sacrificed unto idols [1494]. 66 2 21 And [2532] I gave [1325] her [846] space [5550] to [2443] repent [3340] of [1537] her [846] fornication [4202]; and [2532] she repented [3340] not [3756]. 66 2 22 Behold [2400], I [1473] will cast [906] her [846] into [1519] a bed [2825], and [2532] them that commit adultery [3431] with [3326] her [846] into [1519] great [3173] tribulation [2347], except [3362] they repent [3340] of [1537] their [846] deeds [2041]. 66 2 23 And [2532] I will kill [615] her [846] children [5043] with [1722] death [2288]; and [2532] all [3956] the churches [1577] shall know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he which [3588] searcheth [2045] the reins [3510] and [2532] hearts [2588]: and [2532] I will give [1325] unto every one [1538] of you [5213] according to [2596] your [5216] works [2041]. 66 2 24 But [1161] unto you [5213] I say [3004], and [2532] unto the rest [3062] in [1722] Thyatira [2363], as many as [3745] have [2192] not [3756] this [5026] doctrine [1322], and [2532] which [3748] have [1097] not [3756] known [1097] the depths [899] of Satan [4567], as [5613] they speak [3004]; I will put [906] upon [1909] you [5209] none [3756] other [243] burden [922]. 66 2 25 But [4133] that which [3739] ye have [2192] already hold fast [2902] till [891] [3739] I come [302] [2240]. 66 2 26 And [2532] he that overcometh [3528], and [2532] keepeth [5083] my [3450] works [2041] unto [891] the end [5056], to him [846] will I give [1325] power [1849] over [1909] the nations [1484]: 66 2 27 And [2532] he shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]; as [5613] the vessels [4632] of a potter [2764] shall they be broken to shivers [4937]: even [2504] as [5613] I [2504] received [2983] of [3844] my [3450] Father [3962]. 66 2 28 And [2532] I will give [1325] him [846] the morning [4407] star [792]. 66 2 29 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]. 66 3 1 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Sardis [4554] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he that hath [2192] the seven [2033] Spirits [4151] of God [2316], and [2532] the seven [2033] stars [792]; I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], that [3754] thou hast [2192] a name [3686] that [3754] thou livest [2198], and [2532] art [1488] dead [3498]. 66 3 2 Be [1096] watchful [1127], and [2532] strengthen [4741] the things which remain [3062], that [3739] are [3195] ready to die [599]: for [1063] I have [2147] not [3756] found [2147] thy [4675] works [2041] perfect [4137] before [1799] God [2316]. 66 3 3 Remember [3421] therefore [3767] how [4459] thou hast received [2983] and [2532] heard [191], and [2532] hold fast [5083], and [2532] repent [3340]. If [3362] therefore [3767] thou shalt [1127] not [3362] watch [1127], I will come [2240] on [1909] thee [4571] as [5613] a thief [2812], and [2532] thou shalt [1097] not [3364] know [1097] what [4169] hour [5610] I will come [2240] upon [1909] thee [4571]. 66 3 4 Thou hast [2192] a few [3641] names [3686] even [2532] in [1722] Sardis [4554] which [3739] have [3435] not [3756] defiled [3435] their [846] garments [2440]; and [2532] they shall walk [4043] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] white [3022]: for [3754] they are [1526] worthy [514]. 66 3 5 He that overcometh [3528], the same [3778] shall be clothed [4016] in [1722] white [3022] raiment [2440]; and [2532] I will [1813] not [3364] blot out [1813] his [846] name [3686] out of [1537] the book [976] of life [2222], but [2532] I will confess [1843] his [846] name [3686] before [1799] my [3450] Father [3962], and [2532] before [1799] his [846] angels [32]. 66 3 6 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]. 66 3 7 And [2532] to the angel [32] of the church [1577] in [1722] Philadelphia [5359] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] he that is holy [40], he that is true [228], he that hath [2192] the key [2807] of David [1138], he that openeth [455], and [2532] no man [3762] shutteth [2808]; and [2532] shutteth [2808], and [2532] no man [3762] openeth [455]; 66 3 8 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041]: behold [2400], I have set [1325] before [1799] thee [4675] an open [455] door [2374], and [2532] no man [3762] can [1410] shut [2808] it [846]: for [3754] thou hast [2192] a little [3398] strength [1411], and [2532] hast kept [5083] my [3450] word [3056], and [2532] hast [720] not [3756] denied [720] my [3450] name [3686]. 66 3 9 Behold [2400], I will make [1325] them of [1537] the synagogue [4864] of Satan [4567], which [3588] say [3004] they [1438] are [1511] Jews [2453], and [2532] are [1526] not [3756], but [235] do lie [5574]; behold [2400], I will make [4160] them [846] to [2443] come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thy [4675] feet [4228], and [2532] to know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] have loved [25] thee [4571]. 66 3 10 Because [3754] thou hast kept [5083] the word [3056] of my [3450] patience [5281], I also [2504] will keep [5083] thee [4571] from [1537] the hour [5610] of temptation [3986], which [3588] shall come [3195] [2064] upon [1909] all [3650] the world [3625], to try [3985] them that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093]. 66 3 11 Behold [2400], I come [2064] quickly [5035]: hold that fast [2902] which [3739] thou hast [2192], that [2443] no man [3367] take [2983] thy [4675] crown [4735]. 66 3 12 Him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I make [4160] a pillar [4769] in [1722] the temple [3485] of my [3450] God [2316], and [2532] he shall go [1831] no [3364] more [2089] out [1854]: and [2532] I will write [1125] upon [1909] him [846] the name [3686] of my [3450] God [2316], and [2532] the name [3686] of the city [4172] of my [3450] God [2316], which is [3588] new [2537] Jerusalem [2419], which [3588] cometh down [2597] [2597] out of [1537] heaven [3772] from [575] my [3450] God [2316]: and [2532] I will write upon him my [3450] new [2537] name [3686]. 66 3 13 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]. 66 3 14 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Amen [281], the faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228] witness [3144], the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] of God [2316]; 66 3 15 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], that [3754] thou art [1488] neither [3777] cold [5593] nor [3777] hot [2200]: I would [3785] thou wert [1498] cold [5593] or [2228] hot [2200]. 66 3 16 So [3779] then because [3754] thou art [1488] lukewarm [5513], and [2532] neither [3777] cold [5593] nor [3777] hot [2200], I will [3195] spue [1692] thee [4571] out of [1537] my [3450] mouth [4750]. 66 3 17 Because [3754] thou sayest [3004], [3754] I am [1510] rich [4145], and [2532] increased with goods [4147], and [2532] have [2192] need [5532] of nothing [3762]; and [2532] knowest [1492] not [3756] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] wretched [5005], and [2532] miserable [1652], and [2532] poor [4434], and [2532] blind [5185], and [2532] naked [1131]: 66 3 18 I counsel [4823] thee [4671] to buy [59] of [3844] me [1700] gold [5553] tried [4448] in [1537] the fire [4442], that [2443] thou mayest be rich [4147]; and [2532] white [3022] raiment [2440], that [2443] thou mayest be clothed [4016], and [2532] that the shame [152] of thy [4675] nakedness [1132] do [5319] not [3361] appear [5319]; and [2532] anoint [1472] thine [4675] eyes [3788] with eyesalve [2854], that [2443] thou mayest see [991]. 66 3 19 As many as [3745] [1437] I love [5368], I [1473] rebuke [1651] and [2532] chasten [3811]: be zealous [2206] therefore [3767], and [2532] repent [3340]. 66 3 20 Behold [2400], I stand [2476] at [1909] the door [2374], and [2532] knock [2925]: if [1437] any man [5100] hear [191] my [3450] voice [5456], and [2532] open [455] the door [2374], I will come in [1525] to [4314] him [846], and [2532] will sup [1172] with [3326] him [846], and [2532] he [846] with [3326] me [1700]. 66 3 21 To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I grant [1325] to sit [2523] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] my [3450] throne [2362], even [2504] as [5613] I also [2504] overcame [3528], and [2532] am set down [2523] with [3326] my [3450] Father [3962] in [1722] his [846] throne [2362]. 66 3 22 He that hath [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191] what [5101] the Spirit [4151] saith [3004] unto the churches [1577]. 66 4 1 After [3326] this [5023] I looked [1492], and [2532], behold [2400], a door [2374] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772]: and [2532] the first [4413] voice [5456] which [3739] I heard [191] was as it were of [5613] a trumpet [4536] talking [2980] with [3326] me [1700]; which said [3004], Come up [305] hither [5602], and [2532] I will shew [1166] thee [4671] things which [3739] must [1163] be [1096] hereafter [3326] [5023]. 66 4 2 And [2532] immediately [2112] I was [1096] in [1722] the spirit [4151]: and [2532], behold [2400], a throne [2362] was set [2749] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] one sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362]. 66 4 3 And [2532] he that sat [2521] was [2258] to look upon [3706] like [3664] a jasper [2393] and [2532] a sardine [4555] stone [3037]: and [2532] there was a rainbow [2463] round about [2943] the throne [2362], in sight [3706] like [3664] unto an emerald [4664]. 66 4 4 And [2532] round about [2943] the throne [2362] were four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] seats [2362]: and [2532] upon [1909] the seats [2362] I saw [1492] four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245] sitting [2521], clothed [4016] in [1722] white [3022] raiment [2440]; and [2532] they had [2192] on [1909] their [846] heads [2776] crowns [4735] of gold [5552]. 66 4 5 And [2532] out of [1537] the throne [2362] proceeded [1607] lightnings [796] and [2532] thunderings [1027] and [2532] voices [5456]: and [2532] there were seven [2033] lamps [2985] of fire [4442] burning [2545] before [1799] the throne [2362], which [3739] are [1526] the seven [2033] Spirits [4151] of God [2316]. 66 4 6 And [2532] before [1799] the throne [2362] there was a sea [2281] of glass [5193] like [3664] unto crystal [2930]: and [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the throne [2362], and [2532] round about [2945] the throne [2362], were four [5064] beasts [2226] full [1073] of eyes [3788] before [1715] and [2532] behind [3693]. 66 4 7 And [2532] the first [4413] beast [2226] was like [3664] a lion [3023], and [2532] the second [1208] beast [2226] like [3664] a calf [3448], and [2532] the third [5154] beast [2226] had [2192] a face [4383] as [5613] a man [444], and [2532] the fourth [5067] beast [2226] was like [3664] a flying [4072] eagle [105]. 66 4 8 And [2532] the four [5064] beasts [2226] had [2192] each [303] [1520] of them [2596] [1438] six [1803] wings [4420] about [2943] him; and [2532] they were full [1073] of eyes [3788] within [2081]: and [2532] they rest [372] not [3756] [2192] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571], saying [3004], Holy [40], holy [40], holy [40], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] was [2258] [3801], and [2532] is [5607] [3801], and [2532] is to come [2064] [3801]. 66 4 9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165], 66 4 10 The four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245] fall down [4098] before [1799] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] worship [4352] him that liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165], and [2532] cast [906] their [846] crowns [4735] before [1799] the throne [2362], saying [3004], 66 4 11 Thou art [1488] worthy [514], O Lord [2962], to receive [2983] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] power [1411]: for [3754] thou [4771] hast created [2936] all things [3956], and [2532] for [1223] thy [4675] pleasure [2307] they are [1526] and [2532] were created [2936]. 66 5 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] in [1909] the right hand [1188] of him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] a book [975] written [1125] within [2081] and [2532] on the backside [3693], sealed [2696] with seven [2033] seals [4973]. 66 5 2 And [2532] I saw [1492] a strong [2478] angel [32] proclaiming [2784] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Who [5101] is [2076] worthy [514] to open [455] the book [975], and [2532] to loose [3089] the seals [4973] thereof [846]? 66 5 3 And [2532] no man [3762] in [1722] heaven [3772], nor [3761] in [1909] earth [1093], neither [3761] under [5270] the earth [1093], was able [1410] to open [455] the book [975], neither [3761] to look [991] thereon [846]. 66 5 4 And [2532] I [1473] wept [2799] much [4183], because [3754] no man [3762] was found [2147] worthy [514] to open [455] and [2532] to read [314] the book [975], neither [3777] to look [991] thereon [846]. 66 5 5 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the elders [4245] saith [3004] unto me [3427], Weep [2799] not [3361]: behold [2400], the Lion [3023] of [5607] [1537] the tribe [5443] of Juda [2455], the Root [4491] of David [1138], hath prevailed [3528] to open [455] the book [975], and [2532] to loose [3089] the seven [2033] seals [4973] thereof [846]. 66 5 6 And [2532] I beheld [1492], and [2532], lo [2400], in [1722] the midst [3319] of the throne [2362] and [2532] of the four [5064] beasts [2226], and [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the elders [4245], stood [2476] a Lamb [721] as [5613] it had been slain [4969], having [2192] seven [2033] horns [2768] and [2532] seven [2033] eyes [3788], which [3739] are [1526] the seven [2033] Spirits [4151] of God [2316] sent forth [649] into [1519] all [3956] the earth [1093]. 66 5 7 And [2532] he came [2064] and [2532] took [2983] the book [975] out of [1537] the right hand [1188] of him that sat [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362]. 66 5 8 And [2532] when [3753] he had taken [2983] the book [975], the four [5064] beasts [2226] and [2532] four [5064] and twenty [1501] elders [4245] fell down [4098] before [1799] the Lamb [721], having [2192] every one of them [1538] harps [2788], and [2532] golden [5552] vials [5357] full [1073] of odours [2368], which [3739] are [1526] the prayers [4335] of saints [40]. 66 5 9 And [2532] they sung [103] a new [2537] song [5603], saying [3004], Thou art [1488] worthy [514] to take [2983] the book [975], and [2532] to open [455] the seals [4973] thereof [846]: for [3754] thou wast slain [4969], and [2532] hast redeemed [59] us [2248] to God [2316] by [1722] thy [4675] blood [129] out of [1537] every [3956] kindred [5443], and [2532] tongue [1100], and [2532] people [2992], and [2532] nation [1484]; 66 5 10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093]. 66 5 11 And [2532] I beheld [1492], and [2532] I heard [191] the voice [5456] of many [4183] angels [32] round about [2943] the throne [2362] and [2532] the beasts [2226] and [2532] the elders [4245]: and [2532] the number [706] of them [846] was [2258] ten thousand [3461] times ten thousand [3461], and [2532] thousands [5505] of thousands [5505]; 66 5 12 Saying [3004] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Worthy [514] is [2076] the Lamb [721] that was slain [4969] to receive [2983] power [1411], and [2532] riches [4149], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] strength [2479], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] blessing [2129]. 66 5 13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 5 14 And [2532] the four [5064] beasts [2226] said [3004], Amen [281]. And [2532] the four [5064] and twenty [1501] elders [4245] fell down [4098] and [2532] worshipped [4352] him that liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 6 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] when [3753] the Lamb [721] opened [455] one [3391] of [1537] the seals [4973], and [2532] I heard [191], as it were [5613] the noise [5456] of thunder [1027], one [1520] of [1537] the four [5064] beasts [2226] saying [3004], Come [2064] and [2532] see [991]. 66 6 2 And [2532] I saw [1492], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] horse [2462]: and [2532] he that sat [2521] on [1909] him [846] had [2192] a bow [5115]; and [2532] a crown [4735] was given [1325] unto him [846]: and [2532] he went forth [1831] conquering [3528], and [2532] to [2443] conquer [3528]. 66 6 3 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the second [1208] seal [4973], I heard [191] the second [1208] beast [2226] say [3004], Come [2064] and [2532] see [991]. 66 6 4 And [2532] there went out [1831] another [243] horse [2462] that was red [4450]: and [2532] power was given [1325] to him [846] that sat [2521] thereon [1909] [846] to take [2983] peace [1515] from [575] the earth [1093], and [2532] that [2443] they should kill [4969] one another [240]: and [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] a great [3173] sword [3162]. 66 6 5 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the third [5154] seal [4973], I heard [191] the third [5154] beast [2226] say [3004], Come [2064] and [2532] see [991]. And [2532] I beheld [1492], and [2532] lo [2400] a black [3189] horse [2462]; and [2532] he that sat [2521] on [1909] him [846] had [2192] a pair of balances [2218] in [1722] his [846] hand [5495]. 66 6 6 And [2532] I heard [191] a voice [5456] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the four [5064] beasts [2226] say [3004], A measure [5518] of wheat [4621] for a penny [1220], and [2532] three [5140] measures [5518] of barley [2915] for a penny [1220]; and [2532] see thou hurt [91] not [3361] the oil [1637] and [2532] the wine [3631]. 66 6 7 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the fourth [5067] seal [4973], I heard [191] the voice [5456] of the fourth [5067] beast [2226] say [3004], Come [2064] and [2532] see [991]. 66 6 8 And [2532] I looked [1492], and [2532] behold [2400] a pale [5515] horse [2462]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] that sat [2521] on [1883] him [846] was Death [2288], and [2532] Hell [86] followed [190] with [3326] him [846]. And [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] unto them [846] over [1909] the fourth part [5067] of the earth [1093], to kill [615] with [1722] sword [4501], and [2532] with [1722] hunger [3042], and [2532] with [1722] death [2288], and [2532] with [5259] the beasts [2342] of the earth [1093]. 66 6 9 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the fifth [3991] seal [4973], I saw [1492] under [5270] the altar [2379] the souls [5590] of them that were slain [4969] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] for [1223] the testimony [3141] which [3739] they held [2192]: 66 6 10 And [2532] they cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], How [2193] long [4219], O Lord [1203], holy [40] and [2532] true [228], dost thou [2919] not [3756] judge [2919] and [2532] avenge [1556] our [2257] blood [129] on [575] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093]? 66 6 11 And [2532] white [3022] robes [4749] were given [1325] unto every one of them [1538]; and [2532] it was said [4483] unto them [846], that [2443] they should rest [373] yet [2089] for a little [3398] season [5550], until [2193] their [846] fellowservants [4889] also [2532] and [2532] their [846] brethren [80], that should [3195] be killed [615] as [5613] [2532] they [846] were, should [3739] be fulfilled [4137]. 66 6 12 And [2532] I beheld [1492] when [3753] he had opened [455] the sixth [1623] seal [4973], and [2532], lo [2400], there was [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578]; and [2532] the sun [2246] became [1096] black [3189] as [5613] sackcloth [4526] of hair [5155], and [2532] the moon [4582] became [1096] as [5613] blood [129]; 66 6 13 And [2532] the stars [792] of heaven [3772] fell [4098] unto [1519] the earth [1093], even as [5613] a fig tree [4808] casteth [906] her [846] untimely figs [3653], when she is shaken [4579] of [5259] a mighty [3173] wind [417]. 66 6 14 And [2532] the heaven [3772] departed [673] as [5613] a scroll [975] when it is rolled together [1507]; and [2532] every [3956] mountain [3735] and [2532] island [3520] were moved [2795] out of [1537] their [846] places [5117]. 66 6 15 And [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] the great men [3175], and [2532] the rich men [4145], and [2532] the chief captains [5506], and [2532] the mighty men [1415], and [2532] every [3956] bondman [1401], and [2532] every [3956] free man [1658], hid [2928] themselves [1438] in [1519] the dens [4693] and [2532] in [1519] the rocks [4073] of the mountains [3735]; 66 6 16 And [2532] said [3004] to the mountains [3735] and [2532] rocks [4073], Fall [4098] on [1909] us [2248], and [2532] hide [2928] us [2248] from [575] the face [4383] of him that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] from [575] the wrath [3709] of the Lamb [721]: 66 6 17 For [3754] the great [3173] day [2250] of his [846] wrath [3709] is come [2064]; and [2532] who [5101] shall be able [1410] to stand [2476]? 66 7 1 And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] I saw [1492] four [5064] angels [32] standing [2476] on [1909] the four [5064] corners [1137] of the earth [1093], holding [2902] the four [5064] winds [417] of the earth [1093], that [3363] the wind [417] should [4154] not [3363] blow [4154] on [1909] the earth [1093], nor [3383] on [1909] the sea [2281], nor [3383] on [1909] any [3956] tree [1186]. 66 7 2 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] angel [32] ascending [305] [305] from [575] the east [395] [2246], having [2192] the seal [4973] of the living [2198] God [2316]: and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456] to the four [5064] angels [32], to whom [3739] it [846] was given [1325] to hurt [91] the earth [1093] and [2532] the sea [2281], 66 7 3 Saying [3004], Hurt [91] not [3361] the earth [1093], neither [3383] the sea [2281], nor [3383] the trees [1186], till [891] [3739] we have sealed [4972] [4972] the servants [1401] of our [2257] God [2316] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]. 66 7 4 And [2532] I heard [191] the number [706] of them which were sealed [4972]: and there were sealed [4972] an hundred [1540] and forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505] of [1537] all [3956] the tribes [5443] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474]. 66 7 5 Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Juda [2455] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Reuben [4502] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Gad [1045] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. 66 7 6 Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Aser [768] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Nepthalim [3508] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Manasses [3128] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. 66 7 7 Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Simeon [4826] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Levi [3017] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Issachar [2466] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. 66 7 8 Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Zabulon [2194] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Joseph [2501] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. Of [1537] the tribe [5443] of Benjamin [958] were sealed [4972] twelve [1427] thousand [5505]. 66 7 9 After [3326] this [5023] I beheld [1492], and [2532], lo [2400], a great [4183] multitude [3793], which [3739] no man [3762] could [1410] number [705] [846], of [1537] all [3956] nations [1484], and [2532] kindreds [5443], and [2532] people [2992], and [2532] tongues [1100], stood [2476] before [1799] the throne [2362], and [2532] before [1799] the Lamb [721], clothed [4016] with white [3022] robes [4749], and [2532] palms [5404] in [1722] their [846] hands [5495]; 66 7 10 And [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Salvation [4991] to our [2257] God [2316] which [3588] sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721]. 66 7 11 And [2532] all [3956] the angels [32] stood [2476] round about [2945] the throne [2362], and [2532] about the elders [4245] and [2532] the four [5064] beasts [2226], and [2532] fell [4098] before [1799] the throne [2362] on [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316], 66 7 12 Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281]. 66 7 13 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the elders [4245] answered [611], saying [3004] unto me [3427], What [5101] are [1526] these [3778] which [3588] are arrayed in [4016] white [3022] robes [4749]? and [2532] whence [4159] came they [2064]? 66 7 14 And [2532] I said [2046] unto him [846], Sir [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492]. And [2532] he said [2036] to me [3427], These [3778] are they [1526] which came [2064] out of [1537] great [3173] tribulation [2347], and [2532] have washed [4150] their [846] robes [4749], and [2532] made [3021] them [4749] [846] white [3021] in [1722] the blood [129] of the Lamb [721]. 66 7 15 Therefore [1223] [5124] are they [1526] before [1799] the throne [2362] of God [2316], and [2532] serve [3000] him [846] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485]: and [2532] he that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] shall dwell [4637] among [1909] them [846]. 66 7 16 They shall hunger [3983] no [3756] more [2089], neither [3761] thirst [1372] any more [2089]; neither [3761] [3361] shall [4098] the sun [2246] light [4098] on [1909] them [846], nor [3761] any [3956] heat [2738]. 66 7 17 For [3754] the Lamb [721] which [3588] is in the midst [303] [3319] of the throne [2362] shall feed [4165] them [846], and [2532] shall lead [3594] them [846] unto [1909] living [2198] fountains [4077] of waters [5204]: and [2532] God [2316] shall wipe away [1813] all [3956] tears [1144] from [575] their [846] eyes [3788]. 66 8 1 And [2532] when [3753] he had opened [455] the seventh [1442] seal [4973], there was [1096] silence [4602] in [1722] heaven [3772] about the space of [5613] half an hour [2256]. 66 8 2 And [2532] I saw [1492] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3739] stood [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] to them [846] were given [1325] seven [2033] trumpets [4536]. 66 8 3 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [2064] and [2532] stood [2476] at [1909] the altar [2379], having [2192] a golden [5552] censer [3031]; and [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] much [4183] incense [2368], that [2443] he should offer [1325] it with the prayers [4335] of all [3956] saints [40] upon [1909] the golden [5552] altar [2379] which [3588] was before [1799] the throne [2362]. 66 8 4 And [2532] the smoke [2586] of the incense [2368], which came with the prayers [4335] of the saints [40], ascended up [305] before [1799] God [2316] out of [1537] the angel's [32] hand [5495]. 66 8 5 And [2532] the angel [32] took [2983] the censer [3031], and [2532] filled [1072] it [846] with [1537] fire [4442] of the altar [2379], and [2532] cast [906] it into [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] there were [1096] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] lightnings [796], and [2532] an earthquake [4578]. 66 8 6 And [2532] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3588] had [2192] the seven [2033] trumpets [4536] prepared [2090] themselves [1438] to [2443] sound [4537]. 66 8 7 [2532] The first [4413] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] there followed [1096] hail [5464] and [2532] fire [4442] mingled [3396] with blood [129], and [2532] they were cast [906] upon [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] the third part [5154] of trees [1186] was burnt up [2618], and [2532] all [3956] green [5515] grass [5528] was burnt up [2618]. 66 8 8 And [2532] the second [1208] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] as it were [5613] a great [3173] mountain [3735] burning [2545] with fire [4442] was cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]: and [2532] the third part [5154] of the sea [2281] became [1096] blood [129]; 66 8 9 And [2532] the third part [5154] of the creatures [2938] which [3588] were in [1722] the sea [2281], and had [2192] life [5590], died [599]; and [2532] the third part [5154] of the ships [4143] were destroyed [1311]. 66 8 10 And [2532] the third [5154] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] there fell [4098] a great [3173] star [792] from [1537] heaven [3772], burning [2545] as it were [5613] a lamp [2985], and [2532] it fell [4098] upon [1909] the third part [5154] of the rivers [4215], and [2532] upon [1909] the fountains [4077] of waters [5204]; 66 8 11 And [2532] the name [3686] of the star [792] is called [3004] Wormwood [894]: and [2532] the third part [5154] of the waters [5204] became [1096] [1519] wormwood [894]; and [2532] many [4183] men [444] died [599] of [1537] the waters [5204], because [3754] they were made bitter [4087]. 66 8 12 And [2532] the fourth [5067] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] the third part [5154] of the sun [2246] was smitten [4141], and [2532] the third part [5154] of the moon [4582], and [2532] the third part [5154] of the stars [792]; so as [2443] the third part [5154] of them [846] was darkened [4654], and [2532] the day [2250] shone [5316] not [3361] for a third part [5154] of it [846], and [2532] the night [3571] likewise [3668]. 66 8 13 And [2532] I beheld [1492], and [2532] heard [191] an [1520] angel [32] flying [4072] through [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], saying [3004] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Woe [3759], woe [3759], woe [3759], to the inhabiters [2730] of [1909] the earth [1093] by reason of [1537] the other [3062] voices [5456] of the trumpet [4536] of the three [5140] angels [32], which [3588] are yet [3195] to sound [4537] ! 66 9 1 And [2532] the fifth [3991] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] I saw [1492] a star [792] fall [4098] from [1537] heaven [3772] unto [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] to him [846] was given [1325] the key [2807] of the bottomless [12] pit [5421]. 66 9 2 And [2532] he opened [455] the bottomless [12] pit [5421]; and [2532] there arose [305] a smoke [2586] out of [1537] the pit [5421], as [5613] the smoke [2586] of a great [3173] furnace [2575]; and [2532] the sun [2246] and [2532] the air [109] were darkened [4654] by reason of [1537] the smoke [2586] of the pit [5421]. 66 9 3 And [2532] there came [1831] out of [1537] the smoke [2586] locusts [200] upon [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] unto them [846] was given [1325] power [1849], as [5613] the scorpions [4651] of the earth [1093] have [2192] power [1849]. 66 9 4 And [2532] it was commanded [4483] them [846] that [3363] they should [91] not [3363] hurt [91] the grass [5528] of the earth [1093], neither [3761] any [3956] green thing [5515], neither [3761] any [3956] tree [1186]; but [1508] only [3441] those men [444] which [3748] have [2192] not [3756] the seal [4973] of God [2316] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]. 66 9 5 And [2532] to them [846] it was given [1325] that [3363] they should [615] not [3363] kill [615] them [846], but [235] that [2443] they should be tormented [928] five [4002] months [3376]: and [2532] their [846] torment [929] was as [5613] the torment [929] of a scorpion [4651], when [3752] he striketh [3817] a man [444]. 66 9 6 And [2532] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250] shall men [444] seek [2212] death [2288], and [2532] shall [2147] not [3756] find [2147] it [846]; and [2532] shall desire [1937] to die [599], and [2532] death [2288] shall flee [5343] from [575] them [846]. 66 9 7 And [2532] the shapes [3667] of the locusts [200] were like [3664] unto horses [2462] prepared [2090] unto [1519] battle [4171]; and [2532] on [1909] their [846] heads [2776] were as it were [5613] crowns [4735] like [3664] gold [5557], and [2532] their [846] faces [4383] were as [5613] the faces [4383] of men [444]. 66 9 8 And [2532] they had [2192] hair [2359] as [5613] the hair [2359] of women [1135], and [2532] their [846] teeth [3599] were [2258] as [5613] the teeth of lions [3023]. 66 9 9 And [2532] they had [2192] breastplates [2382], as it were [5613] breastplates [2382] of iron [4603]; and [2532] the sound [5456] of their [846] wings [4420] was as [5613] the sound [5456] of chariots [716] of many [4183] horses [2462] running [5143] to [1519] battle [4171]. 66 9 10 And [2532] they had [2192] tails [3769] like [3664] unto scorpions [4651], and [2532] there were [2258] stings [2759] in [1722] their [846] tails [3769]: and [2532] their [846] power [1849] was to hurt [91] men [444] five [4002] months [3376]. 66 9 11 And [2532] they had [2192] a king [935] over [1909] them [848], which is the angel [32] of the bottomless pit [12], whose [846] name [3686] in the Hebrew tongue [1447] is Abaddon [3], but [2532] in [1722] the Greek tongue [1673] hath [2192] his name [3686] Apollyon [623]. 66 9 12 One [3391] woe [3759] is past [565]; and, behold [2400], there come [2064] two [1417] woes [3759] more [2089] hereafter [3326] [5023]. 66 9 13 And [2532] the sixth [1623] angel [32] sounded [4537], and [2532] I heard [191] a [3391] voice [5456] from [1537] the four [5064] horns [2768] of the golden [5552] altar [2379] which [3588] is before [1799] God [2316], 66 9 14 Saying [3004] to the sixth [1623] angel [32] which [3739] had [2192] the trumpet [4536], Loose [3089] the four [5064] angels [32] which [3588] are bound [1210] in [1909] the great [3173] river [4215] Euphrates [2166]. 66 9 15 And [2532] the four [5064] angels [32] were loosed [3089], which [3588] were prepared [2090] for [1519] an hour [5610], and [2532] a day [2250], and [2532] a month [3376], and [2532] a year [1763], for to [2443] slay [615] the third part [5154] of men [444]. 66 9 16 And [2532] the number [706] of the army [4753] of the horsemen [2461] were two hundred [1417] thousand [3461] thousand [3461]: and [2532] I heard [191] the number [706] of them [846]. 66 9 17 And [2532] thus [3779] I saw [1492] the horses [2462] in [1722] the vision [3706], and [2532] them that sat [2521] on [1909] them [846], having [2192] breastplates [2382] of fire [4447], and [2532] of jacinth [5191], and [2532] brimstone [2306]: and [2532] the heads [2776] of the horses [2462] were as [5613] the heads [2776] of lions [3023]; and [2532] out of [1537] their [846] mouths [4750] issued [1607] fire [4442] and [2532] smoke [2586] and [2532] brimstone [2303]. 66 9 18 By [5259] these [5130] three [5140] was [615] the third part [5154] of men [444] killed [615], by [1537] the fire [4442], and [2532] by [1537] the smoke [2586], and [2532] by [1537] the brimstone [2303], which [3588] issued [1607] out of [1537] their [846] mouths [4750]. 66 9 19 For [1063] their [846] power [1849] is [1526] [2076] in [1722] their [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] in [1722] their [846] tails [3769]: for [1063] their [846] tails [3769] were like [3664] unto serpents [3789], and had [2192] heads [2776], and [2532] with [1722] them [846] they do hurt [91]. 66 9 20 And [2532] the rest [3062] of the men [444] which [3739] were [615] not [3756] killed [615] by [1722] these [5025] plagues [4127] yet [3777] repented [3340] not [3777] of [1537] the works [2041] of their [846] hands [5495], that [3363] they should [4352] not [3363] worship [4352] devils [1140], and [2532] idols [1497] of gold [5552], and [2532] silver [693], and [2532] brass [5470], and [2532] stone [3035], and [2532] of wood [3585]: which [3739] neither [3777] can [1410] see [991], nor [3777] hear [191], nor [3777] walk [4043]: 66 9 21 Neither [2532] [3756] repented they [3340] of [1537] their [846] murders [5408], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] sorceries [5331], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] fornication [4202], nor [3777] of [1537] their [846] thefts [2809]. 66 10 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] mighty [2478] angel [32] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], clothed [4016] with a cloud [3507]: and [2532] a rainbow [2463] was upon [1909] his [846] head [2776], and [2532] his [846] face [4383] was as it were [5613] the sun [2246], and [2532] his [846] feet [4228] as [5613] pillars [4769] of fire [4442]: 66 10 2 And [2532] he had [2192] in [1722] his [846] hand [5495] a little book [974] open [455]: and [2532] he set [5087] his [846] right [1188] foot [4228] upon [1909] the sea [2281], and [1161] his left [2176] foot on [1909] the earth [1093], 66 10 3 And [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], as [5618] when a lion [3023] roareth [3455]: and [2532] when [3753] he had cried [2896], seven [2033] thunders [1027] uttered [2980] their [1438] voices [5456]. 66 10 4 And [2532] when [3753] the seven [2033] thunders [1027] had uttered [2980] their [1438] voices [5456], I was about [3195] to write [1125]: and [2532] I heard [191] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Seal up [4972] those things which [3739] the seven [2033] thunders [1027] uttered [2980], and [2532] write [1125] them [5023] not [3361]. 66 10 5 And [2532] the angel [32] which [3739] I saw [1492] stand [2476] upon [1909] the sea [2281] and [2532] upon [1909] the earth [1093] lifted up [142] his [846] hand [5495] to [1519] heaven [3772], 66 10 6 And [2532] sware [3660] by [1722] him that liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165], who [3739] created [2936] heaven [3772], and [2532] the things that therein are [1722] [846], and [2532] the earth [1093], and [2532] the things that therein are [1722] [846], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] the things which are therein [1722] [846], that [3754] there should be [2071] time [5550] no [3756] longer [2089]: 66 10 7 But [235] in [1722] the days [2250] of the voice [5456] of the seventh [1442] angel [32], when [3752] he shall begin [3195] to sound [4537], [2532] the mystery [3466] of God [2316] should be finished [5055], as [5613] he hath declared [2097] to his [1438] servants [1401] the prophets [4396]. 66 10 8 And [2532] the voice [5456] which [3739] I heard [191] from [1537] heaven [3772] spake [2980] unto [3326] me [1700] again [3825], and [2532] said [3004], Go [5217] and take [2983] the little book [974] which [3588] is open [455] in [1722] the hand [5495] of the angel [32] which [3588] standeth [2476] upon [1909] the sea [2281] and [2532] upon [1909] the earth [1093]. 66 10 9 And [2532] I went [565] unto [4314] the angel [32], and said [3004] unto him [846], Give [1325] me [3427] the little book [974]. And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], Take [2983] it, and [2532] eat [2719] it [846] up [2719]; and it [2532] shall make [4087] thy [4675] belly [2836] bitter [4087], but [235] it shall be [2071] in [1722] thy [4675] mouth [4750] sweet [1099] as [5613] honey [3192]. 66 10 10 And [2532] I took [2983] the little book [974] out of [1537] the angel's [32] hand [5495], and [2532] ate [2719] it [846] up [2719]; and [2532] it was [2258] in [1722] my [3450] mouth [4750] sweet [1099] as [5613] honey [3192]: and [2532] as soon as [3753] I had eaten [5315] it [846], my [3450] belly [2836] was bitter [4087]. 66 10 11 And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], Thou [4571] must [1163] prophesy [4395] again [3825] before [1909] many [4183] peoples [2992], and [2532] nations [1484], and [2532] tongues [1100], and [2532] kings [935]. 66 11 1 And [2532] there was given [1325] me [3427] a reed [2563] like [3664] unto a rod [4464]: and [2532] the angel [32] stood [2476], saying [3004], Rise [1453], and [2532] measure [3354] the temple [3485] of God [2316], and [2532] the altar [2379], and [2532] them that worship [4352] therein [1722] [846]. 66 11 2 But [2532] the court [833] which [3588] is without [1855] [2081] the temple [3485] leave [1544] out [1854], and [2532] measure [3354] it [846] not [3361]; for [3754] it is given [1325] unto the Gentiles [1484]: and [2532] the holy [40] city [4172] shall they tread under foot [3961] forty [5062] and two [1417] months [3376]. 66 11 3 And [2532] I will give [1325] power unto my [3450] two [1417] witnesses [3144], and [2532] they shall prophesy [4395] a thousand [5507] two hundred [1250] and threescore [1835] days [2250], clothed in [4016] sackcloth [4526]. 66 11 4 These [3778] are [1526] the two [1417] olive [1636] trees, and [2532] the two [1417] candlesticks [3087] standing [2476] before [1799] the God [2316] of the earth [1093]. 66 11 5 And [2532] if any man [1536] [846] will [2309] hurt [91] them [846], fire [4442] proceedeth [1607] out of [1537] their [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] devoureth [2719] their [846] enemies [2190]: and [2532] if any man [1536] will [2309] hurt [91] them [846], he must [1163] in this manner [3779] be killed [615]. 66 11 6 These [3778] have [2192] power [1849] to shut [2808] heaven [3772], that [3363] it rain [1026] [5205] not [3363] in [1722] the days [2250] of their [846] prophecy [4394]: and [2532] have [2192] power [1849] over [1909] waters [5204] to turn [4762] them [846] to [1519] blood [129], and [2532] to smite [3960] the earth [1093] with all [3956] plagues [4127], as often [3740] as [1437] they will [2309]. 66 11 7 And [2532] when [3752] they shall have finished [5055] their [846] testimony [3141], the beast [2342] that ascendeth [305] out of [1537] the bottomless pit [12] shall make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] them [846], and [2532] shall overcome [3528] them [846], and [2532] kill [615] them [846]. 66 11 8 And [2532] their [846] dead bodies [4430] shall lie in [1909] the street [4113] of the great [3173] city [4172], which [3748] spiritually [4153] is called [2564] Sodom [4670] and [2532] Egypt [125], where [3699] also [2532] our [2257] Lord [2962] was crucified [4717]. 66 11 9 And [2532] they [991] of [1537] the people [2992] and [2532] kindreds [5443] and [2532] tongues [1100] and [2532] nations [1484] shall see [991] their [846] dead bodies [4430] three [5140] days [2250] and [2532] an half [2255], and [2532] shall [863] not [3756] suffer [863] their [846] dead bodies [4430] to be put [5087] in [1519] graves [3418]. 66 11 10 And [2532] they that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093] shall rejoice [5463] over [1909] them [846], and [2532] make merry [2165], and [2532] shall send [3992] gifts [1435] one to another [240]; because [3754] these [3778] two [1417] prophets [4396] tormented [928] them that dwelt [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093]. 66 11 11 And [2532] after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] and [2532] an half [2255] the Spirit [4151] of life [2222] from [1537] God [2316] entered [1525] into [1909] them [846], and [2532] they stood [2476] upon [1909] their [846] feet [4228]; and [2532] great [3173] fear [5401] fell [4098] upon [1909] them which saw [2334] them [846]. 66 11 12 And [2532] they heard [191] a great [3173] voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772] saying [3004] unto them [846], Come up [305] hither [5602]. And [2532] they ascended up [305] to [1519] heaven [3772] in [1722] a cloud [3507]; and [2532] their [846] enemies [2190] beheld [2334] them [846]. 66 11 13 And [2532] the same [1722] [1565] hour [5610] was there [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578], and [2532] the tenth part [1182] of the city [4172] fell [4098], and [2532] in [1722] the earthquake [4578] were slain [615] [3686] of men [444] seven [2033] thousand [5505]: and [2532] the remnant [3062] were [1096] affrighted [1719], and [2532] gave [1325] glory [1391] to the God [2316] of heaven [3772]. 66 11 14 The second [1208] woe [3759] is past [565]; and [2532], behold [2400], the third [5154] woe [3759] cometh [2064] quickly [5035]. 66 11 15 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] sounded [4537]; and [2532] there were [1096] great [3173] voices [5456] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], The kingdoms [932] of this world [2889] are become [1096] the kingdoms of our [2257] Lord [2962], and [2532] of his [846] Christ [5547]; and [2532] he shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 11 16 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245], which [3588] sat [2521] before [1799] God [2316] on [1909] their [846] seats [2362], fell [4098] upon [1909] their [846] faces [4383], and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316], 66 11 17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936]. 66 11 18 And [2532] the nations [1484] were angry [3710], and [2532] thy [4675] wrath [3709] is come [2064], and [2532] the time [2540] of the dead [3498], that they should be judged [2919], and [2532] that thou shouldest give [1325] reward [3408] unto thy [4675] servants [1401] the prophets [4396], and [2532] to the saints [40], and [2532] them that fear [5399] thy [4675] name [3686], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]; and [2532] shouldest destroy [1311] them which destroy [1311] the earth [1093]. 66 11 19 And [2532] the temple [3485] of God [2316] was opened [455] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] there was seen [3700] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485] the ark [2787] of his [846] testament [1242]: and [2532] there were [1096] lightnings [796], and [2532] voices [5456], and [2532] thunderings [1027], and [2532] an earthquake [4578], and [2532] great [3173] hail [5464]. 66 12 1 And [2532] there appeared [3700] a great [3173] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; a woman [1135] clothed [4016] with the sun [2246], and [2532] the moon [4582] under [5270] her [846] feet [4228], and [2532] upon [1909] her [846] head [2776] a crown [4735] of twelve [1427] stars [792]: 66 12 2 And [2532] she being [2192] with [1722] child [1064] cried [2896], travailing in birth [5605], and [2532] pained [928] to be delivered [5088]. 66 12 3 And [2532] there appeared [3700] another [243] wonder [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772]; and [2532] behold [2400] a great [3173] red [4450] dragon [1404], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768], and [2532] seven [2033] crowns [1238] upon [1909] his [846] heads [2776]. 66 12 4 And [2532] his [846] tail [3769] drew [4951] the third part [5154] of the stars [792] of heaven [3772], and [2532] did cast [906] them [846] to [1519] the earth [1093]: and [2532] the dragon [1404] stood [2476] before [1799] the woman [1135] which [3588] was ready [3195] to be delivered [5088], for [2443] to devour [2719] her [846] child [5043] as soon as [3752] it was born [5088]. 66 12 5 And [2532] she brought forth [5088] a man [730] child [5207], who [3739] was [3195] to rule [4165] all [3956] nations [1484] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] her [846] child [5043] was caught up [726] unto [4314] God [2316], and [2532] to his [846] throne [2362]. 66 12 6 And [2532] the woman [1135] fled [5343] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], where [3699] she hath [2192] a place [5117] prepared [2090] of [575] God [2316], that [2443] they should feed [5142] her [846] there [1563] a thousand [5507] two hundred [1250] and threescore [1835] days [2250]. 66 12 7 And [2532] there was [1096] war [4171] in [1722] heaven [3772]: Michael [3413] and [2532] his [846] angels [32] fought [4170] against [2596] the dragon [1404]; and [2532] the dragon [1404] fought [4170] and [2532] his [846] angels [32], 66 12 8 And [2532] prevailed [2480] not [3756]; neither [3777] was [2147] their [846] place [5117] found [2147] any more [2089] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 66 12 9 And [2532] the great [3173] dragon [1404] was cast out [906], that old [744] serpent [3789], called [2564] the Devil [1228], and [2532] Satan [4567], which [3588] deceiveth [4105] the whole [3650] world [3625]: he was cast out [906] into [1519] the earth [1093], and [2532] his [846] angels [32] were cast out [906] with [3326] him [846]. 66 12 10 And [2532] I heard [191] a loud [3173] voice [5456] saying [3004] in [1722] heaven [3772], Now [737] is come [1096] salvation [4991], and [2532] strength [1411], and [2532] the kingdom [932] of our [2257] God [2316], and [2532] the power [1849] of his [846] Christ [5547]: for [3754] the accuser [2723] of our [2257] brethren [80] is cast down [2598], which [3588] accused [2725] them [846] before [1799] our [2257] God [2316] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571]. 66 12 11 And [2532] they [846] overcame [3528] him [846] by [1223] the blood [129] of the Lamb [721], and [2532] by [1223] the word [3056] of their [846] testimony [3141]; and [2532] they loved [25] not [3756] their [846] lives [5590] unto [891] the death [2288]. 66 12 12 Therefore [1223] [5124] rejoice [2165], ye heavens [3772], and [2532] ye that dwell [4637] in [1722] them [846]. Woe [3759] to the inhabiters [2730] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the sea [2281]! for [3754] the devil [1228] is come down [2597] unto [4314] you [5209], having [2192] great [3173] wrath [2372], because he knoweth [1492] that [3754] he hath [2192] but a short [3641] time [2540]. 66 12 13 And [2532] when [3753] the dragon [1404] saw [1492] that [3754] he was cast [906] unto [1519] the earth [1093], he persecuted [1377] the woman [1135] which [3748] brought forth [5088] the man [730] child. 66 12 14 And [2532] to the woman [1135] were given [1325] two [1417] wings [4420] of a great [3173] eagle [105], that [2443] she might fly [4072] into [1519] the wilderness [2048], into [1519] her [846] place [5117], where [3699] she is nourished [5142] for a time [1563] [2540], and [2532] times [2540], and [2532] half [2255] a time [2540], from [575] the face [4383] of the serpent [3789]. 66 12 15 And [2532] the serpent [3789] cast [906] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] water [5204] as [5613] a flood [4215] after [3694] the woman [1135], that [2443] he might cause [4160] her [5026] to be carried away of the flood [4216]. 66 12 16 And [2532] the earth [1093] helped [997] the woman [1135], and [2532] the earth [1093] opened [455] her [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] swallowed up [2666] the flood [4215] which [3739] the dragon [1404] cast [906] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]. 66 12 17 And [2532] the dragon [1404] was wroth [3710] with [1909] the woman [1135], and [2532] went [565] to make [4160] war [4171] with [3326] the remnant [3062] of her [846] seed [4690], which [3588] keep [5083] the commandments [1785] of God [2316], and [2532] have [2192] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. 66 13 1 And [2532] I stood [2476] upon [1909] the sand [285] of the sea [2281], and [2532] saw [1492] a beast [2342] rise up [305] out of [1537] the sea [2281], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768], and [2532] upon [1909] his [846] horns [2768] ten [1176] crowns [1238], and [2532] upon [1909] his [846] heads [2776] the name [3686] of blasphemy [988]. 66 13 2 And [2532] the beast [2342] which [3739] I saw [1492] was [2258] like [3664] unto a leopard [3917], and [2532] his [846] feet [4228] were as [5613] the feet of a bear [715], and [2532] his [846] mouth [4750] as [5613] the mouth [4750] of a lion [3023]: and [2532] the dragon [1404] gave [1325] him [846] his [846] power [1411], and [2532] his [846] seat [2362], and [2532] great [3173] authority [1849]. 66 13 3 And [2532] I saw [1492] one [3391] of his [846] heads [2776] as it were [5613] wounded [4969] to [1519] death [2288]; and [2532] his [846] deadly [2288] wound [4127] was healed [2323]: and [2532] all [3650] the world [1093] wondered [2296] [2296] after [3694] [1722] the beast [2342]. 66 13 4 And [2532] they worshipped [4352] the dragon [1404] which [3739] gave [1325] power [1849] unto the beast [2342]: and [2532] they worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], saying [3004], Who [5101] is like [3664] unto the beast [2342]? who [5101] is able [1410] to make war [4170] with [3326] him [846]? 66 13 5 And [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] a mouth [4750] speaking [2980] great things [3173] and [2532] blasphemies [988]; and [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] unto him [846] to continue [4160] forty [5062] and two [1417] months [3376]. 66 13 6 And [2532] he opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750] in [1519] blasphemy [988] against [4314] God [2316], to blaspheme [987] his [846] name [3686], and [2532] his [846] tabernacle [4633], and [2532] them that dwell [4637] in [1722] heaven [3772]. 66 13 7 And [2532] it was given [1325] unto him [846] to make [4160] war [4171] with [3326] the saints [40], and [2532] to overcome [3528] them [846]: and [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] him [846] over [1909] all [3956] kindreds [5443], and [2532] tongues [1100], and [2532] nations [1484]. 66 13 8 And [2532] all [3956] that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093] shall worship [4352] him [846], whose [3739] names [3686] are [1125] not [3756] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] of the Lamb [721] slain [4969] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]. 66 13 9 If any man [1536] have [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191]. 66 13 10 He that [1536] leadeth [4863] into captivity [161] shall go [5217] into [1519] captivity [161]: he that [1536] killeth [615] with [1722] the sword [3162] must [1163] be killed [615] with [1722] the sword [3162]. Here [5602] is [2076] the patience [5281] and [2532] the faith [4102] of the saints [40]. 66 13 11 And [2532] I beheld [1492] another [243] beast [2342] coming up [305] out of [1537] the earth [1093]; and [2532] he had [2192] two [1417] horns [2768] like [3664] a lamb [721], and [2532] he spake [2980] as [5613] a dragon [1404]. 66 13 12 And [2532] he exerciseth [4160] all [3956] the power [1849] of the first [4413] beast [2342] before [1799] him [846], and [2532] causeth [4160] the earth [1093] and [2532] them which dwell [2730] therein [1722] [846] to [2443] worship [4352] the first [4413] beast [2342], whose [3739] [846] deadly [2288] wound [4127] was healed [2323]. 66 13 13 And [2532] he doeth [4160] great [3173] wonders [4592], so [2532] that [2443] he maketh [4160] fire [4442] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772] on [1519] the earth [1093] in the sight [1799] of men [444], 66 13 14 And [2532] deceiveth [4105] them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093] by [1223] the means of those miracles [4592] which [3739] he [846] had power [1325] to do [4160] in the sight [1799] of the beast [2342]; saying [3004] to them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], that they should make [4160] an image [1504] to the beast [2342], which [3739] had [2192] the wound [4127] by a sword [3162], and [2532] did live [2198]. 66 13 15 And [2532] he [846] had power [1325] to give [1325] life [4151] unto the image [1504] of the beast [2342], that [2443] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should [2980] both [2532] speak [2980], and [2532] cause [4160] that as many as [3745] would [302] [4352] not [3361] worship [4352] the image [1504] of the beast [2342] should be killed [2443] [615]. 66 13 16 And [2532] he causeth [4160] all [3956], both small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], [2532] rich [4145] and [2532] poor [4434], [2532] free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], to [2443] [846] receive [1325] a mark [5480] in [1909] their [846] right hand [1188] [5495], or [2228] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]: 66 13 17 And [2532] that no [3363] man [5100] might [1410] buy [59] or [2228] sell [4453], save he [1508] that had [2192] the mark [5480], or [2228] the name [3686] of the beast [2342], or [2228] the number [706] of his [846] name [3686]. 66 13 18 Here [5602] is [2076] wisdom [4678]. Let him that hath [2192] understanding [3563] count [5585] the number [706] of the beast [2342]: for [1063] it is [2076] the number [706] of a man [444]; and [2532] his [846] number [706] is Six hundred threescore and six [5516]. 66 14 1 And [2532] I looked [1492], and [2532], lo [2400], a Lamb [721] stood [2476] on [1909] the mount [3735] Sion [4622], and [2532] with [3326] him [846] an hundred [1540] forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505], having [2192] his [846] Father's [3962] name [3686] written [1125] in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]. 66 14 2 And [2532] I heard [191] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], as [5613] the voice [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204], and [2532] as [5613] the voice [5456] of a great [3173] thunder [1027]: and [2532] I heard [191] the voice [5456] of harpers [2790] harping [2789] with [1722] their [846] harps [2788]: 66 14 3 And [2532] they sung [103] as it were [5613] a new [2537] song [5603] before [1799] the throne [2362], and [2532] before [1799] the four [5064] beasts [2226], and [2532] the elders [4245]: and [2532] no man [3762] could [1410] learn [3129] that song [5603] but [1508] the hundred [1540] and forty [5062] and four [5064] thousand [5505], which [3588] were redeemed [59] from [575] the earth [1093]. 66 14 4 These [3778] are they [1526] which [3739] were [3435] not [3756] defiled [3435] with [3326] women [1135]; for [1063] they are [1526] virgins [3933]. These [3778] are they [1526] which [3588] follow [190] the Lamb [721] whithersoever [3699] [302] he goeth [5217]. These [3778] were redeemed [59] from [575] among men [444], being the firstfruits [536] unto God [2316] and [2532] to the Lamb [721]. 66 14 5 And [2532] in [1722] their [846] mouth [4750] was found [2147] no [3756] guile [1388]: for [1063] they are [1526] without fault [299] before [1799] the throne [2362] of God [2316]. 66 14 6 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] angel [32] fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], having [2192] the everlasting [166] gospel [2098] to preach [2097] unto them that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093], and [2532] to every [3956] nation [1484], and [2532] kindred [5443], and [2532] tongue [1100], and [2532] people [2992], 66 14 7 Saying [3004] with [1722] a loud [3173] voice [5456], Fear [5399] God [2316], and [2532] give [1325] glory [1391] to him [846]; for [3754] the hour [5610] of his [846] judgment [2920] is come [2064]: and [2532] worship [4352] him that made [4160] heaven [3772], and [2532] earth [1093], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] the fountains [4077] of waters [5204]. 66 14 8 And [2532] there followed [190] another [243] angel [32], saying [3004], Babylon [897] is fallen [4098], is fallen [4098], that great [3173] city [4172], because [3754] she made [4222] all [3956] nations [1484] drink [4222] of [1537] the wine [3631] of the wrath [2372] of her [846] fornication [4202]. 66 14 9 And [2532] the third [5154] angel [32] followed [190] them [846], saying [3004] with [1722] a loud [3173] voice [5456], If any man [1536] worship [4352] the beast [2342] and [2532] his [846] image [1504], and [2532] receive [2983] his mark [5480] in [1909] his [846] forehead [3359], or [2228] in [1909] his [846] hand [5495], 66 14 10 The same [846] [2532] shall drink [4095] of [1537] the wine [3631] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316], which [3588] is poured out [2767] without mixture [194] into [1722] the cup [4221] of his [846] indignation [3709]; and [2532] he shall be tormented [928] with [1722] fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303] in the presence [1799] of the holy [40] angels [32], and [2532] in the presence [1799] of the Lamb [721]: 66 14 11 And [2532] the smoke [2586] of their [846] torment [929] ascendeth up [305] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]: and [2532] they have [2192] no [3756] rest [372] day [2250] nor [2532] night [3571], who [3588] worship [4352] the beast [2342] and [2532] his [846] image [1504], and [2532] whosoever [1536] receiveth [2983] the mark [5480] of his [846] name [3686]. 66 14 12 Here [5602] is [2076] the patience [5281] of the saints [40]: here [5602] are they that keep [5083] the commandments [1785] of God [2316], and [2532] the faith [4102] of Jesus [2424]. 66 14 13 And [2532] I heard [191] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772] saying [3004] unto me [3427], Write [1125], Blessed [3107] are the dead [3498] which [3588] die [599] in [1722] the Lord [2962] from henceforth [534]: Yea [3483], saith [3004] the Spirit [4151], that [2443] they may rest [373] from [1537] their [846] labours [2873]; and [1161] their [846] works [2041] do follow [190] [3326] them [846]. 66 14 14 And [2532] I looked [1492], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] cloud [3507], and [2532] upon [1909] the cloud [3507] one sat [2521] like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], having [2192] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] a golden [5552] crown [4735], and [2532] in [1722] his [846] hand [5495] a sharp [3691] sickle [1407]. 66 14 15 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485], crying [2896] with [1722] a loud [3173] voice [5456] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the cloud [3507], Thrust in [3992] thy [4675] sickle [1407], and [2532] reap [2325]: for [3754] the time [5610] is come [2064] for thee [4671] to reap [2325]; for [3754] the harvest [2326] of the earth [1093] is ripe [3583]. 66 14 16 And [2532] he that sat [2521] on [1909] the cloud [3507] thrust in [906] his [846] sickle [1407] on [1909] the earth [1093]; and [2532] the earth [1093] was reaped [2325]. 66 14 17 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772], he [846] also [2532] having [2192] a sharp [3691] sickle [1407]. 66 14 18 And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [1831] out [1537] from the altar [2379], which had [2192] power [1849] over [1909] fire [4442]; and [2532] cried [5455] with a loud [3173] cry [2906] to him that had [2192] the sharp [3691] sickle [1407], saying [3004], Thrust in [3992] thy [4675] sharp [3691] sickle [1407], and [2532] gather [5166] the clusters [1009] of the vine [288] of the earth [1093]; for [3754] her [846] grapes [4718] are fully ripe [187]. 66 14 19 And [2532] the angel [32] thrust in [906] his [846] sickle [1407] into [1519] the earth [1093], and [2532] gathered [5166] the vine [288] of the earth [1093], and [2532] cast [906] it into [1519] the great [3173] winepress [3025] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316]. 66 14 20 And [2532] the winepress [3025] was trodden [3961] without [1854] the city [4172], and [2532] blood [129] came [1831] out of [1537] the winepress [3025], even unto [891] the horse [2462] bridles [5469], by the space of [575] a thousand [5507] and six hundred [1812] furlongs [4712]. 66 15 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] another [243] sign [4592] in [1722] heaven [3772], great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298], seven [2033] angels [32] having [2192] the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127]; for [3754] in [1722] them [846] is filled up [5055] the wrath [2372] of God [2316]. 66 15 2 And [2532] I saw [1492] as it were [5613] a sea [2281] of glass [5193] mingled [3396] with fire [4442]: and [2532] them that had gotten the victory [3528] over [1537] the beast [2342], and [2532] over [1537] his [846] image [1504], and [2532] over [1537] his [846] mark [5480], and over [1537] the number [706] of his [846] name [3686], stand [2476] on [1909] the sea [2281] of glass [5193], having [2192] the harps [2788] of God [2316]. 66 15 3 And [2532] they sing [103] the song [5603] of Moses [3475] the servant [1401] of God [2316], and [2532] the song [5603] of the Lamb [721], saying [3004], Great [3173] and [2532] marvellous [2298] are thy [4675] works [2041], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841]; just [1342] and [2532] true [228] are thy [4675] ways [3598], thou King [935] of saints [40]. 66 15 4 Who [5101] shall [5399] not [3364] fear [5399] thee [4571], O Lord [2962], and [2532] glorify [1392] thy [4675] name [3686]? for [3754] thou only [3441] art holy [3741]: for [3754] all [3956] nations [1484] shall come [2240] and [2532] worship [4352] before [1799] thee [4675]; for [3754] thy [4675] judgments [1345] are made manifest [5319]. 66 15 5 And [2532] after [3326] that [5023] I looked [1492], and [2532], behold [2400], the temple [3485] of the tabernacle [4633] of the testimony [3142] in [1722] heaven [3772] was opened [455]: 66 15 6 And [2532] the seven [2033] angels [32] came [1831] out of [1537] the temple [3485], having [2192] the seven [2033] plagues [4127], clothed [1746] in pure [2513] and [2532] white [2986] linen [3043], and [2532] having their breasts [4738] girded [4024] with [4012] golden [5552] girdles [2223]. 66 15 7 And [2532] one [1520] of [1537] the four [5064] beasts [2226] gave [1325] unto the seven [2033] angels [32] seven [2033] golden [5552] vials [5357] full [1073] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 15 8 And [2532] the temple [3485] was filled [1072] with smoke [2586] from [1537] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] from [1537] his [846] power [1411]; and [2532] no man [3762] was able [1410] to enter [1525] into [1519] the temple [3485], till [891] the seven [2033] plagues [4127] of the seven [2033] angels [32] were fulfilled [5055]. 66 16 1 And [2532] I heard [191] a great [3173] voice [5456] out of [1537] the temple [3485] saying [3004] to the seven [2033] angels [32], Go your ways [5217], and [2532] pour out [1632] the vials [5357] of the wrath [2372] of God [2316] upon [1519] the earth [1093]. 66 16 2 And [2532] the first [4413] went [565], and [2532] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1909] the earth [1093]; and [2532] there fell [1096] a noisome [2556] and [2532] grievous [4190] sore [1668] upon [1519] the men [444] which [3588] had [2192] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] upon them which worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. 66 16 3 And [2532] the second [1208] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1519] the sea [2281]; and [2532] it became [1096] as [5613] the blood [129] of a dead [3498] man: and [2532] every [3956] living [2198] soul [5590] died [599] in [1722] the sea [2281]. 66 16 4 And [2532] the third [5154] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1519] the rivers [4215] and [2532] [1519] fountains [4077] of waters [5204]; and [2532] they became [1096] blood [129]. 66 16 5 And [2532] I heard [191] the angel [32] of the waters [5204] say [3004], Thou art [1488] righteous [1342], O Lord [2962], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] shalt be [3741] [3801], because [3754] thou hast judged [2919] thus [5023]. 66 16 6 For [3754] they have shed [1632] the blood [129] of saints [40] and [2532] prophets [4396], and [2532] thou hast given [1325] them [846] blood [129] to drink [4095]; for [1063] they are [1526] worthy [514]. 66 16 7 And [2532] I heard [191] another [243] out of [1537] the altar [2379] say [3004], Even so [3483], Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], true [228] and [2532] righteous [1342] are thy [4675] judgments [2920]. 66 16 8 And [2532] the fourth [5067] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1909] the sun [2246]; and [2532] power was given [1325] unto him [846] to scorch [2739] men [444] with [1722] fire [4442]. 66 16 9 And [2532] men [444] were scorched [2739] with great [3173] heat [2738], and [2532] blasphemed [987] the name [3686] of God [2316], which [3588] hath [2192] power [1849] over [1909] these [5025] plagues [4127]: and [2532] they repented [3340] not [3756] to give [1325] him [846] glory [1391]. 66 16 10 And [2532] the fifth [3991] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1909] the seat [2362] of the beast [2342]; and [2532] his [846] kingdom [932] was [1096] full of darkness [4656]; and [2532] they gnawed [3145] their [846] tongues [1100] for [1537] pain [4192], 66 16 11 And [2532] blasphemed [987] the God [2316] of heaven [3772] because of [1537] their [846] pains [4192] and [2532] [1537] their [846] sores [1668], and [2532] repented [3340] not [3756] of [1537] their [846] deeds [2041]. 66 16 12 And [2532] the sixth [1623] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] upon [1909] the great [3173] river [4215] Euphrates [2166]; and [2532] the water [5204] thereof [846] was dried up [3583], that [2443] the way [3598] of the kings [935] of [575] the east [395] [2246] might be prepared [2090]. 66 16 13 And [2532] I saw [1492] three [5140] unclean [169] spirits [4151] like [3664] frogs [944] come out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the dragon [1404], and [2532] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the beast [2342], and [2532] out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of the false prophet [5578]. 66 16 14 For [1063] they are [1526] the spirits [4151] of devils [1142], working [4160] miracles [4592], which go forth [1607] [3739] [1607] unto [1909] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] and [2532] of the whole [3650] world [3625], to gather [4863] them [846] to [1519] the battle [4171] of that [1565] great [3173] day [2250] of God [2316] Almighty [3841]. 66 16 15 Behold [2400], I come [2064] as [5613] a thief [2812]. Blessed [3107] is he that watcheth [1127], and [2532] keepeth [5083] his [846] garments [2440], lest [3363] he walk [4043] naked [1131], and [2532] they see [991] his [846] shame [808]. 66 16 16 And [2532] he gathered [4863] them [846] together [4863] into [1519] a place [5117] called [2564] in the Hebrew tongue [1447] Armageddon [717]. 66 16 17 And [2532] the seventh [1442] angel [32] poured out [1632] his [846] vial [5357] into [1519] the air [109]; and [2532] there came [1831] a great [3173] voice [5456] out of [575] the temple [3485] of heaven [3772], from [575] the throne [2362], saying [3004], It is done [1096]. 66 16 18 And [2532] there were [1096] voices [5456], and [2532] thunders [1027], and [2532] lightnings [796]; and [2532] there was [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578], such as [3634] was [1096] not [3756] since [3739] [575] men [444] were [1096] upon [1909] the earth [1093], so mighty [5082] an earthquake [4578], and so [3779] great [3173]. 66 16 19 And [2532] the great [3173] city [4172] was divided [1096] into [1519] three [5140] parts [3313], and [2532] the cities [4172] of the nations [1484] fell [4098]: and [2532] great [3173] Babylon [897] came in remembrance [3415] before [1799] God [2316], to give [1325] unto her [846] the cup [4221] of the wine [3631] of the fierceness [2372] of his [846] wrath [3709]. 66 16 20 And [2532] every [3956] island [3520] fled away [5343], and [2532] the mountains [3735] were [2147] not [3756] found [2147]. 66 16 21 And [2532] there fell [2597] upon [1909] men [444] a great [3173] hail [5464] out of [1537] heaven [3772], every stone about [5613] the weight of a talent [5006]: and [2532] men [444] blasphemed [987] God [2316] because of [1537] the plague [4127] of the hail [5464]; for [3754] the plague [4127] thereof [846] was [2076] exceeding [4970] great [3173]. 66 17 1 And [2532] there came [2064] one [1520] of [1537] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3588] had [2192] the seven [2033] vials [5357], and [2532] talked [2980] with [3326] me [1700], saying [3004] unto me [3427], Come hither [1204]; I will shew [1166] unto thee [4671] the judgment [2917] of the great [3173] whore [4204] that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] many [4183] waters [5204]: 66 17 2 With [3326] whom [3739] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] have committed fornication [4203], and [2532] the inhabitants [2730] of the earth [1093] have been made drunk [3184] with [1537] the wine [3631] of her [846] fornication [4202]. 66 17 3 So [2532] he carried [667] me [3165] away [667] in [1722] the spirit [4151] into [1519] the wilderness [2048]: and [2532] I saw [1492] a woman [1135] sit [2521] upon [1909] a scarlet coloured [2847] beast [2342], full of [1073] names [3686] of blasphemy [988], having [2192] seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768]. 66 17 4 And [2532] the woman [1135] was [2258] arrayed [4016] in purple [4209] and [2532] scarlet colour [2847], and [2532] decked [5558] with gold [5557] and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037] and [2532] pearls [3135], having [2192] a golden [5552] cup [4221] in [1722] her [846] hand [5495] full of [1073] abominations [946] and [2532] filthiness [168] of her [846] fornication [4202]: 66 17 5 And [2532] upon [1909] her [846] forehead [3359] was a name [3686] written [1125], MYSTERY [3466], BABYLON [897] THE GREAT [3173], THE MOTHER [3384] OF HARLOTS [4204] AND [2532] ABOMINATIONS [946] OF THE EARTH [1093]. 66 17 6 And [2532] I saw [1492] the woman [1135] drunken [3184] with [1537] the blood [129] of the saints [40], and [2532] with [1537] the blood [129] of the martyrs [3144] of Jesus [2424]: and [2532] when I saw [1492] her [846], I wondered [2296] with great [3173] admiration [2295]. 66 17 7 And [2532] the angel [32] said [2036] unto me [3427], Wherefore [1302] didst thou marvel [2296]? I [1473] will tell [2046] thee [4671] the mystery [3466] of the woman [1135], and [2532] of the beast [2342] that carrieth [941] her [846], which [3588] hath [2192] the seven [2033] heads [2776] and [2532] ten [1176] horns [2768]. 66 17 8 The beast [2342] that [3739] thou sawest [1492] was [2258], and [2532] is [2076] not [3756]; and [2532] shall [3195] ascend [305] out of [1537] the bottomless pit [12], and [2532] go [5217] into [1519] perdition [684]: and [2532] they that dwell [2730] on [1909] the earth [1093] shall wonder [2296], whose [3739] names [3686] were [1125] not [3756] written [1125] in [1909] the book [975] of life [2222] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889], when they behold [991] the beast [2342] that was [3748] [2258], and [2532] is [2076] not [3756], and yet [2539] is [2076]. 66 17 9 And here [5602] is the mind [3563] which [3588] hath [2192] wisdom [4678]. The seven [2033] heads [2776] are [1526] seven [2033] mountains [3735], on [1909] which [846] the woman [1135] sitteth [2521] [3699]. 66 17 10 And [2532] there are [1526] seven [2033] kings [935]: five [4002] are fallen [4098], and [2532] one [1520] is [2076], and the other [243] is [2064] not yet [3768] come [2064]; and [2532] when [3752] he cometh [2064], he [846] must [1163] continue [3306] a short space [3641]. 66 17 11 And [2532] the beast [2342] that [3739] was [2258], and [2532] is [2076] not [3756], even [2532] he [846] is [2076] the eighth [3590], and [2532] is [2076] of [1537] the seven [2033], and [2532] goeth [5217] into [1519] perdition [684]. 66 17 12 And [2532] the ten [1176] horns [2768] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] are [1526] ten [1176] kings [935], which [3748] have received [2983] no [3768] kingdom [932] as yet [3768]; but [235] receive [2983] power [1849] as [5613] kings [935] one [3391] hour [5610] with [3326] the beast [2342]. 66 17 13 These [3778] have [2192] one [3391] mind [1106], and [2532] shall give [1239] their [1438] power [1411] and [2532] strength [1849] unto the beast [2342]. 66 17 14 These [3778] shall make war [4170] with [3326] the Lamb [721], and [2532] the Lamb [721] shall overcome [3528] them [846]: for [3754] he is [2076] Lord [2962] of lords [2962], and [2532] King [935] of kings [935]: and [2532] they that are with [3326] him [846] are called [2822], and [2532] chosen [1588], and [2532] faithful [4103]. 66 17 15 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto me [3427], The waters [5204] which [3739] thou sawest [1492], where [3757] the whore [4204] sitteth [2521], are [1526] peoples [2992], and [2532] multitudes [3793], and [2532] nations [1484], and [2532] tongues [1100]. 66 17 16 And [2532] the ten [1176] horns [2768] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] upon [1909] the beast [2342], these [3778] shall hate [3404] the whore [4204], and [2532] shall make [4160] her [846] desolate [2049] and [2532] naked [1131], and [2532] shall eat [5315] her [846] flesh [4561], and [2532] burn [2618] her [846] with [1722] fire [4442]. 66 17 17 For [1063] God [2316] hath put [1325] in [1519] their [846] hearts [2588] to fulfil [4160] his [846] will [1106], and [2532] to agree [4160] [3391] [1106], and [2532] give [1325] their [846] kingdom [932] unto the beast [2342], until [891] the words [4487] of God [2316] shall be fulfilled [5055]. 66 17 18 And [2532] the woman [1135] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] is [2076] that great [3173] city [4172], which [3588] reigneth [2192] [932] over [1909] the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. 66 18 1 And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] I saw [1492] another [243] angel [32] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], having [2192] great [3173] power [1849]; and [2532] the earth [1093] was lightened [5461] with [1537] his [846] glory [1391]. 66 18 2 And [2532] he cried [2896] mightily [2479] with [1722] a strong [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Babylon [897] the great [3173] is fallen [4098], is fallen [4098], and [2532] is become [1096] the habitation [2732] of devils [1142], and [2532] the hold [5438] of every [3956] foul [169] spirit [4151], and [2532] a cage [5438] of every [3956] unclean [169] and [2532] hateful [3404] bird [3732]. 66 18 3 For [3754] all [3956] nations [1484] have drunk [4095] of [1537] the wine [3631] of the wrath [2372] of her [846] fornication [4202], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] have committed fornication [4203] with [3326] her [846], and [2532] the merchants [1713] of the earth [1093] are waxed rich [4147] through [1537] the abundance [1411] of her [846] delicacies [4764]. 66 18 4 And [2532] I heard [191] another [243] voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying [3004], Come [1831] out of [1537] her [846], my [3450] people [2992], that [3363] ye be [4790] not [3363] partakers [4790] of her [846] sins [266], and [2532] that [3363] ye receive [2983] not [3363] of [1537] her [846] plagues [4127]. 66 18 5 For [3754] her [846] sins [266] have reached [190] [2853] unto [891] heaven [3772], and [2532] God [2316] hath remembered [3421] her [846] iniquities [92]. 66 18 6 Reward [591] her [846] even [2532] as [5613] she [846] [3778] rewarded [591] you [5213], and [2532] double [1363] unto her [846] double [1362] according to [2596] her [846] works [2041]: in [1722] the cup [4221] which [3739] she hath filled [2767] fill [2767] to her [846] double [1362]. 66 18 7 How much [3745] she hath glorified [1392] herself [1438], and [2532] lived deliciously [4763], so much [5118] torment [929] and [2532] sorrow [3997] give [1325] her [846]: for [3754] she saith [3004] in [1722] her [846] heart [2588], I sit [2521] a queen [938], and [2532] am [1510] no [3756] widow [5503], and [2532] shall see [1492] no [3364] sorrow [3997]. 66 18 8 Therefore [5124] [1223] shall [2240] her [846] plagues [4127] come [2240] in [1722] one [3391] day [2250], death [2288], and [2532] mourning [3997], and [2532] famine [3042]; and [2532] she shall be utterly burned [2618] with [1722] fire [4442]: for [3754] strong [2478] is the Lord [2962] God [2316] who [3588] judgeth [2919] her [846]. 66 18 9 And [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], who [3588] have committed fornication [4203] and [2532] lived deliciously [4763] with [3326] her [846], shall bewail [2799] her [846], and [2532] lament [2875] for [1909] her [846], when [3752] they shall see [991] the smoke [2586] of her [846] burning [4451], 66 18 10 Standing [2476] afar [3113] off [575] for [1223] the fear [5401] of her [846] torment [929], saying [3004], Alas [3759], alas [3759], that great [3173] city [4172] Babylon [897], that mighty [2478] city [4172]! for [3754] in [1722] one [3391] hour [5610] is [2064] thy [4675] judgment [2920] come [2064]. 66 18 11 And [2532] the merchants [1713] of the earth [1093] shall weep [2799] and [2532] mourn [3996] over [1909] her [846]; for [3754] no man [3762] buyeth [59] their [846] merchandise [1117] any more [3765]: 66 18 12 The merchandise [1117] of gold [5557], and [2532] silver [696], and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037], and [2532] of pearls [3135], and [2532] fine linen [1040], and [2532] purple [4209], and [2532] silk [4596], and [2532] scarlet [2847], and [2532] all [3956] thyine [2367] wood [3586], and [2532] all manner [3956] vessels [4632] of ivory [1661], and [2532] all manner [3956] vessels [4632] of [1537] most precious [5093] wood [3586], and [2532] of brass [5475], and [2532] iron [4604], and [2532] marble [3139], 66 18 13 And [2532] cinnamon [2792], and [2532] odours [2368], and [2532] ointments [3464], and [2532] frankincense [3030], and [2532] wine [3631], and [2532] oil [1637], and [2532] fine flour [4585], and [2532] wheat [4621], and [2532] beasts [2934], and [2532] sheep [4263], and [2532] horses [2462], and [2532] chariots [4480], and [2532] slaves [4983], and [2532] souls [5590] of men [444]. 66 18 14 And [2532] the fruits [3703] that thy [4675] soul [5590] lusted after [1939] are departed [565] from [575] thee [4675], and [2532] all things [3956] which [3588] were dainty [3045] and [2532] goodly [2986] are departed [565] from [575] thee [4675], and [2532] thou shalt find [2147] them [846] no more [3765] at all [3364]. 66 18 15 The merchants [1713] of these things [5130], which [3588] were made rich [4147] by [575] her [846], shall stand [2476] afar [3113] off [575] for [1223] the fear [5401] of her [846] torment [929], weeping [2799] and [2532] wailing [3996], 66 18 16 And [2532] saying [3004], Alas [3759], alas [3759], that great [3173] city [4172], that was clothed in [4016] fine linen [1039], and [2532] purple [4210], and [2532] scarlet [2847], and [2532] decked [5558] with [1722] gold [5557], and [2532] precious [5093] stones [3037], and [2532] pearls [3135]! 66 18 17 For [3754] in one [3391] hour [5610] so great [5118] riches [4149] is come to nought [2049]. And [2532] every [3956] shipmaster [2942], and [2532] all [3956] the company [3658] in [1909] ships [4143], and [2532] sailors [3492], and [2532] as many as [3745] trade [2038] by sea [2281], stood [2476] afar [3113] off [575], 66 18 18 And [2532] cried [2896] when they saw [3708] the smoke [2586] of her [846] burning [4451], saying [3004], What [5101] city is like [3664] unto this great [3173] city [4172]! 66 18 19 And [2532] they cast [906] dust [5522] on [1909] their [846] heads [2776], and [2532] cried [2896], weeping [2799] and [2532] wailing [3996], saying [3004], Alas [3759], alas [3759], that great [3173] city [4172], wherein [1722] [3739] were made rich [4147] all [3956] that had [2192] ships [4143] in [1722] the sea [2281] by reason of [1537] her [846] costliness [5094]! for [3754] in one [3391] hour [5610] is she made desolate [2049]. 66 18 20 Rejoice [2165] over [1909] her [846], thou heaven [3772], and [2532] ye holy [40] apostles [652] and [2532] prophets [4396]; for [3754] God [2316] hath avenged [2917] [2919] you [5216] on [1537] her [846]. 66 18 21 And [2532] a [1520] mighty [2478] angel [32] took up [142] a stone [3037] like [5613] a great [3173] millstone [3458], and [2532] cast [906] it into [1519] the sea [2281], saying [3004], Thus [3779] with violence [3731] shall [906] that great [3173] city [4172] Babylon [897] be thrown down [906], and [2532] shall be found [2147] no more [3364] at all [2089]. 66 18 22 And [2532] the voice [5456] of harpers [2790], and [2532] musicians [3451], and [2532] of pipers [834], and [2532] trumpeters [4538], shall be heard [191] no more [3364] at all [2089] in [1722] thee [4671]; and [2532] no [3364] [3956] craftsman [5079], of whatsoever [3956] craft [5078] he be, shall be found [2147] any more [2089] in [1722] thee [4671]; and [2532] the sound [5456] of a millstone [3458] shall be heard [191] no more [3364] at all [2089] in [1722] thee [4671]; 66 18 23 And [2532] the light [5457] of a candle [3088] shall shine [5316] no more [3364] at all [2089] in [1722] thee [4671]; and [2532] the voice [5456] of the bridegroom [3566] and [2532] of the bride [3565] shall be heard [191] no more [3364] at all [2089] in [1722] thee [4671]: for [3754] thy [4675] merchants [1713] were [2258] the great men [3175] of the earth [1093]; for [3754] by [1722] thy [4675] sorceries [5331] were [4105] all [3956] nations [1484] deceived [4105]. 66 18 24 And [2532] in [1722] her [846] was found [2147] the blood [129] of prophets [4396], and [2532] of saints [40], and [2532] of all [3956] that were slain [4969] upon [1909] the earth [1093]. 66 19 1 And [2532] after [3326] these things [5023] I heard [191] a great [3173] voice [5456] of much [4183] people [3793] in [1722] heaven [3772], saying [3004], Alleluia [239]; Salvation [4991], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], unto the Lord [2962] our [2257] God [2316]: 66 19 2 For [3754] true [228] and [2532] righteous [1342] are his [846] judgments [2920]: for [3754] he hath judged [2919] the great [3173] whore [4204], which [3748] did corrupt [5351] the earth [1093] with [1722] her [846] fornication [4202], and [2532] hath avenged [1556] the blood [129] of his [846] servants [1401] at [1537] her [846] hand [5495]. 66 19 3 And [2532] again [1208] they said [2046], Alleluia [239]. And [2532] her [846] smoke [2586] rose up [305] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 19 4 And [2532] the four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245] and [2532] the four [5064] beasts [2226] fell down [4098] and [2532] worshipped [4352] God [2316] that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], saying [3004], Amen [281]; Alleluia [239]. 66 19 5 And [2532] a voice [5456] came [1831] out of [1537] the throne [2362], saying [3004], Praise [134] our [2257] God [2316], all ye [3956] his [846] servants [1401], and [2532] ye that fear [5399] him [846], both [2532] small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]. 66 19 6 And [2532] I heard [191] as it were [5613] the voice [5456] of a great [4183] multitude [3793], and [2532] as [5613] the voice [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204], and [2532] as [5613] the voice [5456] of mighty [2478] thunderings [1027], saying [3004], Alleluia [239]: for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] omnipotent [3841] reigneth [936]. 66 19 7 Let us be glad [5463] and [2532] rejoice [21], and [2532] give [1325] honour [1391] to him [846]: for [3754] the marriage [1062] of the Lamb [721] is come [2064], and [2532] his [846] wife [1135] hath made [2090] herself [1438] ready [2090]. 66 19 8 And [2532] to her [846] was granted [1325] that [2443] she should be arrayed [4016] in fine linen [1039], clean [2513] and [2532] white [2986]: for [1063] the fine linen [1039] is [2076] the righteousness [1345] of saints [40]. 66 19 9 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto me [3427], Write [1125], Blessed [3107] are they which are called [2564] unto [1519] the marriage [1062] supper [1173] of the Lamb [721]. And [2532] he saith [3004] unto me [3427], These [3778] are [1526] the true [228] sayings [3056] of God [2316]. 66 19 10 And [2532] I fell [4098] at [1715] his [846] feet [4228] to worship [4352] him [846]. And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], See [3708] thou do it not [3361]: I am [1510] thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], and [2532] of thy [4675] brethren [80] that have [2192] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424]: worship [4352] God [2316]: for [1063] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] is [2076] the spirit [4151] of prophecy [4394]. 66 19 11 And [2532] I saw [1492] heaven [3772] opened [455], and [2532] behold [2400] a white [3022] horse [2462]; and [2532] he that sat [2521] upon [1909] him [846] was called [2564] Faithful [4103] and [2532] True [228], and [2532] in [1722] righteousness [1343] he doth judge [2919] and [2532] make war [4170]. 66 19 12 [1161] His [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442], and [2532] on [1909] his [846] head [2776] were many [4183] crowns [1238]; and he had [2192] a name [3686] written [1125], that [3739] no man [3762] knew [1492], but [1508] he himself [846]. 66 19 13 And [2532] he was clothed [4016] with a vesture [2440] dipped [911] in blood [129]: and [2532] his [846] name [3686] is called [2564] The Word [3056] of God [2316]. 66 19 14 And [2532] the armies [4753] which were [3588] in [1722] heaven [3772] followed [190] him [846] upon [1909] white [3022] horses [2462], clothed [1746] in fine linen [1039], white [3022] and [2532] clean [2513]. 66 19 15 And [2532] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750] goeth [1607] a sharp [3691] sword [4501], that [2443] with [1722] it [846] he should smite [3960] the nations [1484]: and [2532] he [846] shall rule [4165] them [846] with [1722] a rod [4464] of iron [4603]: and [2532] he [846] treadeth [3961] the winepress [3025] [3631] of the fierceness [2372] and [2532] wrath [3709] of Almighty [3841] God [2316]. 66 19 16 And [2532] he hath [2192] on [1909] his vesture [2440] and [2532] on [1909] his [846] thigh [3382] a name [3686] written [1125], KING [935] OF KINGS [935], AND [2532] LORD [2962] OF LORDS [2962]. 66 19 17 And [2532] I saw [1492] an [1520] angel [32] standing [2476] in [1722] the sun [2246]; and [2532] he cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004] to all [3956] the fowls [3732] that fly [4072] in [1722] the midst of heaven [3321], Come [1205] and [2532] gather yourselves together [4863] unto [1519] the supper [1173] of the great [3173] God [2316]; 66 19 18 That [2443] ye may eat [5315] the flesh [4561] of kings [935], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of captains [5506], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of mighty men [2478], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of horses [2462], and [2532] of them that sit [2521] on [1909] them [846], and [2532] the flesh [4561] of all [3956] men, both free [1658] and [2532] bond [1401], both [2532] small [3398] and [2532] great [3173]. 66 19 19 And [2532] I saw [1492] the beast [2342], and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093], and [2532] their [846] armies [4753], gathered together [4863] to make [4160] war [4171] against [3326] him that sat [2521] on [1909] the horse [2462], and [2532] against [3326] his [846] army [4753]. 66 19 20 And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303]. 66 19 21 And [2532] the remnant [3062] were slain [615] with [1722] the sword [4501] of him that sat [2521] upon [1909] the horse [2462], which [3588] sword proceeded [1607] out of [1537] his [846] mouth [4750]: and [2532] all [3956] the fowls [3732] were filled [5526] with [1537] their [846] flesh [4561]. 66 20 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] an angel [32] come down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], having [2192] the key [2807] of the bottomless pit [12] and [2532] a great [3173] chain [254] in [1909] his [846] hand [5495]. 66 20 2 And [2532] he laid hold on [2902] the dragon [1404], that old [744] serpent [3789], which [3739] is [2076] the Devil [1228], and [2532] Satan [4567], and [2532] bound [1210] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094], 66 20 3 And [2532] cast [906] him [846] into [1519] the bottomless pit [12], and [2532] shut [2808] him [846] up [2808], and [2532] set a seal [4972] upon [1883] him [846], that [3363] he should deceive [4105] the nations [1484] no [3363] more [2089], till [891] the thousand [5507] years [2094] should be fulfilled [5055]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5023] he [846] must [1163] be loosed [3089] a little [3398] season [5550]. 66 20 4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094]. 66 20 5 But [1161] the rest [3062] of the dead [3498] lived [326] not [3756] again [326] until [2193] the thousand [5507] years [2094] were finished [5055]. This [3778] is the first [4413] resurrection [386]. 66 20 6 Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094]. 66 20 7 And [2532] when [3752] the thousand [5507] years [2094] are expired [5055], Satan [4567] shall be loosed [3089] out of [1537] his [846] prison [5438], 66 20 8 And [2532] shall go out [1831] to deceive [4105] the nations [1484] which [3588] are in [1722] the four [5064] quarters [1137] of the earth [1093], Gog [1136] and [2532] Magog [3098], to gather [4863] them [846] together [4863] to [1519] battle [4171]: the number [706] of whom [3739] is as [5613] the sand [285] of the sea [2281]. 66 20 9 And [2532] they went up [305] on [1909] the breadth [4114] of the earth [1093], and [2532] compassed [2944] the camp [3925] of the saints [40] about [2944], and [2532] the beloved [25] city [4172]: and [2532] fire [4442] came down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], and [2532] devoured [2719] them [846]. 66 20 10 And [2532] the devil [1228] that deceived [4105] them [846] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303], where [3699] the beast [2342] and [2532] the false prophet [5578] are, and [2532] shall be tormented [928] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 20 11 And [2532] I saw [1492] a great [3173] white [3022] throne [2362], and [2532] him that sat [2521] on [1909] it [846], from [575] whose [3739] face [4383] the earth [1093] and [2532] the heaven [3772] fled away [5343]; and [2532] there was found [2147] no [3756] place [5117] for them [846]. 66 20 12 And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041]. 66 20 13 And [2532] the sea [2281] gave up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] delivered up [1325] the dead [3498] which [3588] were in [1722] them [846]: and [2532] they were judged [2919] every man [1538] according to [2596] their [846] works [2041]. 66 20 14 And [2532] death [2288] and [2532] hell [86] were cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. This [3778] is [2076] the second [1208] death [2288]. 66 20 15 And [2532] whosoever [1536] was [2147] not [3756] found [2147] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] was cast [906] into [1519] the lake [3041] of fire [4442]. 66 21 1 And [2532] I saw [1492] a new [2537] heaven [3772] and [2532] a new [2537] earth [1093]: for [1063] the first [4413] heaven [3772] and [2532] the first [4413] earth [1093] were passed away [3928]; and [2532] there was [2076] no [3756] more [2089] sea [2281]. 66 21 2 And [2532] I [1473] John [2491] saw [1492] the holy [40] city [4172], new [2537] Jerusalem [2419], coming down [2597] from [575] God [2316] out of [1537] heaven [3772], prepared [2090] as [5613] a bride [3565] adorned [2885] for her [846] husband [435]. 66 21 3 And [2532] I heard [191] a great [3173] voice [5456] out of [1537] heaven [3772] saying [3004], Behold [2400], the tabernacle [4633] of God [2316] is with [3326] men [444], and [2532] he will dwell [4637] with [3326] them [846], and [2532] they [846] shall be [2071] his [846] people [2992], and [2532] God [2316] himself [846] shall be [2071] with [3326] them [846], and be their [846] God [2316]. 66 21 4 And [2532] God [2316] shall wipe away [1813] all [3956] tears [1144] from [575] their [846] eyes [3788]; and [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] more [2089] death [2288], neither [3777] sorrow [3997], nor [3777] crying [2906], neither [3777] [3756] shall there be [2071] any more [2089] pain [4192]: for [3754] the former things [4413] are passed away [565]. 66 21 5 And [2532] he that sat [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362] said [2036], Behold [2400], I make [4160] all things [3956] new [2537]. And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], Write [1125]: for [3754] these [3778] words [3056] are [1526] true [228] and [2532] faithful [4103]. 66 21 6 And [2532] he said [2036] unto me [3427], It is done [1096]. I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the beginning [746] and [2532] the end [5056]. I [1473] will give [1325] unto him that is athirst [1372] of [1537] the fountain [4077] of the water [5204] of life [2222] freely [1432]. 66 21 7 He that overcometh [3528] shall inherit [2816] all things [3956]; and [2532] I will be [2071] his [846] God [2316], and [2532] he [846] shall be [2071] my [3427] son [5207]. 66 21 8 But [1161] the fearful [1169], and [2532] unbelieving [571], and [2532] the abominable [948], and [2532] murderers [5406], and [2532] whoremongers [4205], and [2532] sorcerers [5332], and [2532] idolaters [1496], and [2532] all [3956] liars [5571], shall have their [846] part [3313] in [1722] the lake [3041] which [3588] burneth [2545] with fire [4442] and [2532] brimstone [2303]: which is [3603] the second [1208] death [2288]. 66 21 9 And [2532] there came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165] one of [1520] the seven [2033] angels [32] which [3588] had [2192] the seven [2033] vials [5357] full [1073] of the seven [2033] last [2078] plagues [4127], and [2532] talked [2980] with [3326] me [1700], saying [3004], Come hither [1204], I will shew [1166] thee [4671] the bride [3565], the Lamb's [721] wife [1135]. 66 21 10 And [2532] he carried [667] me [3165] away [667] in [1722] the spirit [4151] to [1909] a great [3173] and [2532] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] shewed [1166] me [3427] that great [3173] city [4172], the holy [40] Jerusalem [2419], descending [2597] out of [1537] heaven [3772] from [575] God [2316], 66 21 11 Having [2192] the glory [1391] of God [2316]: and [2532] her [846] light [5458] was like [3664] unto a stone [3037] most precious [5093], even like [5613] a jasper [2393] stone [3037], clear as crystal [2929]; 66 21 12 And [5037] had [2192] a wall [5038] great [3173] and [2532] high [5308], and had [2192] twelve [1427] gates [4440], and [2532] at [1909] the gates [4440] twelve [1427] angels [32], and [2532] names [3686] written thereon [1924], which [3739] are [2076] the names of the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of the children [5207] of Israel [2474]: 66 21 13 On [575] the east [395] three [5140] gates [4440]; on [575] the north [1005] three [5140] gates [4440]; on [575] the south [3558] three [5140] gates [4440]; and [2532] on [575] the west [1424] three [5140] gates [4440]. 66 21 14 And [2532] the wall [5038] of the city [4172] had [2192] twelve [1427] foundations [2310], and [2532] in [1722] them [846] the names [3686] of the twelve [1427] apostles [652] of the Lamb [721]. 66 21 15 And [2532] he that talked [2980] with [3326] me [1700] had [2192] a golden [5552] reed [2563] to [2443] measure [3354] the city [4172], and [2532] the gates [4440] thereof [846], and [2532] the wall [5038] thereof [846]. 66 21 16 And [2532] the city [4172] lieth [2749] foursquare [5068], and [2532] the length [3372] [846] is [2076] as large [5118] as [3745] [2532] the breadth [4114]: and [2532] he measured [3354] the city [4172] with the reed [2563] [1909], twelve [1427] thousand [5505] furlongs [4712]. The length [3372] and [2532] the breadth [4114] and [2532] the height [5311] of it [846] are [2076] equal [2470]. 66 21 17 And [2532] he measured [3354] the wall [5038] thereof [846], an hundred [1540] and forty [5062] and four [5064] cubits [4083], according to the measure [3358] of a man [444], that is [3603], of the angel [32]. 66 21 18 And [2532] the building [1739] of the wall [5038] of it [846] was [2258] of jasper [2393]: and [2532] the city [4172] was pure [2513] gold [5553], like [3664] unto clear [2513] glass [5194]. 66 21 19 And [2532] the foundations [2310] of the wall [5038] of the city [4172] were garnished with [2885] all manner of [3956] precious [5093] stones [3037]. The first [4413] foundation [2310] was jasper [2393]; the second [1208], sapphire [4552]; the third [5154], a chalcedony [5472]; the fourth [5067], an emerald [4665]; 66 21 20 The fifth [3991], sardonyx [4557]; the sixth [1623], sardius [4556]; the seventh [1442], chrysolite [5555]; the eighth [3590], beryl [969]; the ninth [1766], a topaz [5116]; the tenth [1182], a chrysoprasus [5556]; the eleventh [1734], a jacinth [5192]; the twelfth [1428], an amethyst [271]. 66 21 21 And [2532] the twelve [1427] gates [4440] were twelve [1427] pearls [3135]; every [1538] [303] several [1520] gate [4440] was [2258] of [1537] one [1520] pearl [3135]: and [2532] the street [4113] of the city [4172] was pure [2513] gold [5553], as it were [5613] transparent [1307] glass [5194]. 66 21 22 And [2532] I saw [1492] no [3756] temple [3485] therein [1722] [846]: for [1063] the Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841] and [2532] the Lamb [721] are [2076] the temple [3485] of it [846]. 66 21 23 And [2532] the city [4172] had [2192] no [3756] need [5532] of the sun [2246], neither [3761] of the moon [4582], to [2443] shine [5316] in [1722] it [846]: for [1063] the glory [1391] of God [2316] did lighten [5461] it [846], and [2532] the Lamb [721] is the light [3088] thereof [846]. 66 21 24 And [2532] the nations [1484] of them which are saved [4982] shall walk [4043] in [1722] the light [5457] of it [846]: and [2532] the kings [935] of the earth [1093] do bring [5342] their [846] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] into [1519] it [846]. 66 21 25 And [2532] the gates [4440] of it [846] shall [2808] not [3364] be shut [2808] at all [3364] by day [2250]: for [1063] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]. 66 21 26 And [2532] they shall bring [5342] the glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] of the nations [1484] into [1519] it [846]. 66 21 27 And [2532] there shall [1525] in no wise [3364] enter [1525] into [1519] it [846] any thing [3956] that defileth [2840], neither [2532] whatsoever worketh [4160] abomination [946], or [2532] maketh a lie [5579]: but [1508] they which are written [1125] in [1722] the Lamb's [721] book [975] of life [2222]. 66 22 1 And [2532] he shewed [1166] me [3427] a pure [2513] river [4215] of water [5204] of life [2222], clear [2986] as [5613] crystal [2930], proceeding [1607] out of [1537] the throne [2362] of God [2316] and [2532] of the Lamb [721]. 66 22 2 In [1722] the midst [3319] of the street [4113] of it [846], and [2532] on either [2532] side [1782] [1782] of the river [4215], was there the tree [3586] of life [2222], which bare [4160] twelve [1427] manner of fruits [2590], and yielded [591] her [846] fruit [2590] every [2596] [1538] [1520] month [3376]: and [2532] the leaves [5444] of the tree [3586] were for [1519] the healing [2322] of the nations [1484]. 66 22 3 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] more [2089] [3956] curse [2652]: but [2532] the throne [2362] of God [2316] and [2532] of the Lamb [721] shall be [2071] in [1722] it [846]; and [2532] his [846] servants [1401] shall serve [3000] him [846]: 66 22 4 And [2532] they shall see [3700] his [846] face [4383]; and [2532] his [846] name [3686] shall be in [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359]. 66 22 5 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]; and [2532] they need [5532] no [3756] candle [3088] [2192], neither [2532] light [5457] of the sun [2246]; for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] giveth [5461] them [846] light [5461]: and [2532] they shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. 66 22 6 And [2532] he said [2036] unto me [3427], These [3778] sayings [3056] are faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] of the holy [40] prophets [4396] sent [649] his [846] angel [32] to shew [1166] unto his [846] servants [1401] the things which [3739] must [1163] shortly [1722] [5034] be done [1096]. 66 22 7 Behold [2400], I come [2064] quickly [5035]: blessed [3107] is he that keepeth [5083] the sayings [3056] of the prophecy [4394] of this [5127] book [975]. 66 22 8 And [2532] I [1473] John [2491] saw [991] these things [5023], and [2532] heard [191] them. And [2532] when [3753] I had heard [191] and [2532] seen [991], I fell down [4098] to worship [4352] before [1715] the feet [4228] of the angel [32] which [3588] shewed [1166] me [3427] these things [5023]. 66 22 9 Then [2532] saith he [3004] unto me [3427], See [3708] thou do it not [3361]: for [1063] I am [1510] thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], and [2532] of thy [4675] brethren [80] the prophets [4396], and [2532] of them which keep [5083] the sayings [3056] of this [5127] book [975]: worship [4352] God [2316]. 66 22 10 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto me [3427], Seal [4972] not [3361] the sayings [3056] of the prophecy [4394] of this [5127] book [975]: for [3754] the time [2540] is [2076] at hand [1451]. 66 22 11 He that is unjust [91], let him be unjust [91] still [2089]: and [2532] he which is filthy [4510], let him be filthy [4510] still [2089]: and [2532] he that is righteous [1342], let him be righteous [1344] still [2089]: and [2532] he that is holy [40], let him be holy [37] still [2089]. 66 22 12 And [2532], behold [2400], I come [2064] quickly [5035]; and [2532] my [3450] reward [3408] is with [3326] me [1700], to give [591] every man [1538] according as [5613] his [846] work [2041] shall be [2071]. 66 22 13 I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the beginning [746] and [2532] the end [5056], the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078]. 66 22 14 Blessed [3107] are they that do [4160] his [846] commandments [1785], that [2443] they [846] may have [2071] right [1849] to [1909] the tree [3586] of life [2222], and [2532] may enter [1525] in through the gates [4440] into [1519] the city [4172]. 66 22 15 For [1161] without [1854] are dogs [2965], and [2532] sorcerers [5333], and [2532] whoremongers [4205], and [2532] murderers [5406], and [2532] idolaters [1496], and [2532] whosoever [3956] loveth [5368] and [2532] maketh [4160] a lie [5579]. 66 22 16 I [1473] Jesus [2424] have sent [3992] mine [3450] angel [32] to testify [3140] unto you [5213] these things [5023] in [1909] the churches [1577]. I [1473] am [1510] the root [4491] and [2532] the offspring [1085] of David [1138], and the bright [2986] and [2532] morning [3720] star [792]. 66 22 17 And [2532] the Spirit [4151] and [2532] the bride [3565] say [3004], Come [2064]. And [2532] let him that heareth [191] say [2036], Come [2064]. And [2532] let him that is athirst [1372] come [2064]. And [2532] whosoever will [2309], let him take [2983] the water [5204] of life [2222] freely [1432]. 66 22 18 For [1063] I testify [4828] unto every man [3956] that heareth [191] the words [3056] of the prophecy [4394] of this [5127] book [975], If [1437] any man [5100] shall add [2007] unto [4314] these things [5023], God [2316] shall add [2007] unto [1909] him [846] the plagues [4127] that are written [1125] in [1722] this [5129] book [975]: 66 22 19 And [2532] if [1437] any man [5100] shall take away [851] from [575] the words [3056] of the book [976] of this [5129] prophecy [4394], God [2316] shall take away [851] his [846] part [3313] out of [575] the book [976] of life [2222], and [2532] out of [1537] the holy [40] city [4172], and [2532] from the things which are written [1125] in [1722] this [5026] book [975]. 66 22 20 He which testifieth [3140] these things [5023] saith [3004], Surely [3483] I come [2064] quickly [5035]. Amen [281]. Even so [3483], come [2064], Lord [2962] Jesus [2424]. 66 22 21 The grace [5485] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281].
